Seto watched as Kita ranted in her frustration. After a few moments he spoke. "Kita. I understand your wanting to do this. But, you've been pardoned. All of us, except for Aizen, has been. Don't do this to yourself. To us. Let this go. Please."
"He let us go." said Kita. "He didn't pardon us."
"There's no difference here, love. You will never stand accused for what has happened. Love, please." Seto walked over to Kita, but remained far enough away to give her space. "Can we drop this?"

Kita hung her head where she stood. This did not make her feel any better. Yes, Kisuke knew what went on in Las Noches. He saw it with his own eyes. He knew their hands were forced in many ways, but some were not. Some were not, and two of the unforced hands were Seto's and Gin's.
She turned and looked to Seto quickly walking toward him as she wrapped her arms around him. "I can't. I am so scared what might come later in life over all of this." She buried her face into his chest.

"You know what my biggest fear is?" Seto rested his chin to the top of Kita's head. "Losing you because you think you have to play protector for everyone. I don't want to lose you. And, I want you to stop feeling as if you have to protect everyone. You don't have to do it. And, you never will."
"But-"
"No buts." Seto wrapped his arms around Kita and held her close. "Enough of this, already. I am tired of telling you no."

Kita sobbed into his chest lifting up she looked into his eyes as he looked down into hers. "Can I ask you a question? Something I have a feeling might upset you."
"You know you can ask me anything, Love."
"Why--" she hesitated. "Why do you hate Ichimaru so much? What did he do to you to cause this hatred?"

Seto sighed, tightening his hold on Kita. "I don't...hate him. I just really dislike him."
Kita playfully nudged him. "That's the same thing."
"Kita, Gin prides himself in walking that blurred line between good and evil. He sees life as nothing more than a game. If he can manipulate the outcome in his favor, he will do it. Even if it means casting aside his pawns."
"That's not true, Seto."
"It is. It is true. And, when he can't handle the weight of his decisions...his manipulations...He just...Stops. He runs. Maybe not physically. But, he gives up. But, I'm the wolf. I'm the stray."
"Seto..."
"He used you. For decades he used you. Like he used Rangiku. He's a fucking coward. I hate cowards."

Kita grew silent again, again she did not know what to say. She did not want Seto to think she did not love him, but she could not understand why Gin would lead her to believe he loved her. Why would Gin want a child, something to tie him down if it was nothing but a game to him.
"Maybe he's just afraid to except reality or maybe he has just lived this way for so long he don't know how to act any other way."

Looking down at Kita, Seto frowned. "Why are you asking?" he whispered. "Do you still love him? Do you...Do you want to go back...To that?"
Kita sighed, she knew that was coming. She looked into his eyes. "You can't spend twe--"
Seto pushed her slightly back, his eyes narrowed, "you want to go back to him don't you!?" He turned quickly putting his back to her. "Why the fuck did you marry me then if you still love him?!"
"Seto..." Kita spoke to him, touching his arm as he shrugged it off. She took a step back and sighed. "I married you because I love you to." She stepped around him walking back toward the house. "I don't know what you want me to say, but whatever it is. I am not going to lie to you about it. I am tired of the lies and deceit."
Seto gave a quick glance to Kadaj. He had crept a bit close and was hiding behind a small tree watching his parents. "Kita..." Seto shook his head. "Do you want to be with him? Ichimaru?" Seto clenched his fists until his hands began to bleed. "Do you?"

Kita's heart ached at his question, she loved them both very much and at this point after seeing Gin... The day when they were arrested and drug to the Soul Society. The man she believed would never wake. The man she believed to be gone to her not only because of what Seto had told her, but because of what happened to him by the hands of the demon Sada.
Her head lowered in shame as tears started to fall again. "I don't know what I want. I feel so guilty for everything." She turned looking at Seto. "Here we are happy as larks and the people we loved before us--are crushed. You only hurt Yumiko. I hurt them both. Gin was my best friend, my lover, my soul mate and the father of my first born, and Yumiko was my best friend, my sister. I have betrayed them both. I have betrayed them both to be with the man I was never supposed to fall in love with."
Tears streamed down her cheeks, her bottom lip quivering. She grew silent her lips parted as if she was about to speak, but she only stood there in silence as she looked to the man she fell in love with while being his captive in Las Noches.
"Why? Why does the man that hated me so many years ago now love me? Why?"

"Don't do that." grunted Seto. "Don't...You fell in love with the man that called you his property. The man that raped you for the hell of it. The man you were gifted to. Don't..." Seto continued to back away from Kita. "But, that doesn't matter does it?"
"Why do you love me?"
"Because, I just do! I can't explain it. I don't know how to explain it. I just know. I love you and I don't want that feeling to go away! You're my everything. The woman who gave me one child and is carrying two more. I don't know what I would be without you."
"You loved Yumiko, too."
"Yes. Yes I did. But, she never loved me like you do. She didn't trust me to love her. You love me unconditionally. Without judgement or fear. And, I love you for it. But, does that matter? Does it? I spill my guts to you and you still love him?"

"And I love Gin because he was there for me. I was scared and alone, and even though he was an ass at first, he changed. He changed like you did. And like you, I did not judge him. I saw a side of him no one could or wanted to. Like with you." She turned away from Seto hanging her head.
"Everyone was so busy judging you both they couldn't stop to see the real thing. What you both were truly about. No one cared. All they saw were two worthless, evil men." She turned back and looked at Seto. "Yes, you both did things you should not have. Things you both regret, but who hasn't?" She turned again, but only slightly as her head shook once more.
"I love you both Seto. I am sorry if that is hard for you to understand. You both taught me so much in the time I spent in Las Noches and I don't want to hurt anyone. I choose to be with you for many different reason. One of them being because I do love you as much as I do, but..." she looked to him again, "it don't make my love for Gin any less."

"You can't love both of us." groaned Seto. "That's not how this works!" he shouted, quickly covering his mouth with a hand. "You can't...You can't..." Turning away from her, Seto growled and punched at the air. "Do you want to be with him?"
Kita walked up behind him resting a hand to his arm. He did not pull away so she turned him to face her and cupped his cheek with her hand. "I am still here aren't I?"
"That's not what I asked, Kita." grunted Seto. "Do you...Want to be with...him?"

Kita thought for a second, then shook her head. "But I don't want to be kept away from him either." Seto groaned and pulled away from her, she quickly caught his hand. "Not like that. He is still a friend, Sojiro's father. I don't want a wall built between him and I just because I am with you. Please Seto, I would not do it to you and Yumiko if you still wanted to be friends with her."
"Well, I don't. And, I don't want him around." Seto snatched his hand from hers. "He is going to chase after you like a puppy after his favorite toy. Because, that's all you are. And, he will. not. stop. You know he won't. And, you still want him around?"
Kita sighed heavily. "He won't if I explain--"
"BULLSHIT!!" Seto exclaimed, causing her to jump and Kadaj, which was still hiding and watching them, to run back toward the house.
"Fine Seto! Fine! If that is the way you want it!" She waved a hand and turned from him. "I will stay away from him!" She turned and walked quickly toward the house where Kadaj had ran. "I am going to check on your son which you scared with your screaming." She stormed off to find Kadaj.

Seto groaned, watching as she followed after their son. "No. No. This isn't over, Kita. You wanted to talk about this..." Seto looked at his bloody hands. "So, we're going to talk about this." Disappearing in a flash on shunpo, Seto followed after his wife. Moved

" Dreaded Conversation": (continued) As soon as Ulquiorra reappeared in the sky above the courtyard, Whisper erected a dome of flames around them as a tall dark haired male attacked. His attack bounced off the dome, a large crack appearing before them. Whisper sealing it quickly as one of her flames danced across the dome.
"You do have a way with people, Cuatro." She looked over to him. "Did you alert the whole manor? "She asked him as she watched little one walk out into the courtyard with the tall dark hair male. Either of them Tervaden.
"I don't see Tervaden," she mumbled.

"I am sure Tervaden is around, but he has a temper," Ulquiorra replied, watching the actions taken against them closely, "worse than the Snake's. If I had stayed that close to his den, he would have destroyed me immediately. At least from here, he may listen to the full message. If not -- then he is no fool. He will find the answer the riddle of our appearance."
The Fourth Espada paused. “Furthermore, it is an advantage to us that he has chosen this remote village for his hideout -- even if it took longer to find him. It will take time for scouts to take news back to the shopkeeper and his army. There is no reason to hurry this meeting."
