"A Stroll": (continued) Once they reached the edge of the town the academy rested in Kita pulled the scarf up over her head hiding her face and long raven hair to conceal her identity. The last thing she wanted was someone to recognize her and spread the word that she was in Soul Society or to start a riot or confrontation because of who she was. Kadaj, she was not so worried about. Their were not many that knew him and the ones that did know him well that lived in the Soul Society were at the Gotei working.
Once in the town they continued on their way without issue. Kita keeping a hold of Kadaj's hand so he would not be getting into thing or running into people. The more invisible they were the better. She only wanted them to see a woman and her child, and that is exactly what she portrayed as they pushed through town toward Shino Academy.
Once through the busy streets Kita stopped and looked up to the still rising sun in the mid day sky. "Almost noon." She looked down to Kadaj which had his free hand lifted blocking the sun from blinding him. He looked over to his mother and smiled.
"Mommy talk to the sun?"
Kita giggled as they started on their way again, "no sweetie. The placement of the sun in the sky can tell you the time of day.""Huh?! How it do dat?" Kadaj asked her as he followed at her side still holding her hand.
"Well..." Kita started as she looked up at the sun once more and started to explain how it work as they walked forward to the academy.
Once she was done explaining how to tell time by the suns position in the sky they had stepped onto the academy campus. She looked across the grounds and smiled, then looked to Kadaj. "We made it. Now to find Sojiro."Kadaj squealed and broke away from her as he darted further into the campus, his little arm lifted and finger pointing the way he was running. "I know where Toji is, mommy! Dis way!!"
"Kadaj!" Kita called after him as she quickly went after him. "Kadaj! You have never been here before you don't know where he is. Come back here." "Mhm, I feel him, mommy and he sad! Hurry! He need a hug! Hurry!" Kadaj started running faster straight toward a large building. Kita followed behind quickly as the wind caught her scarf and blew it off her head to her shoulders. She did not have time to stop and fix it. She had to catch Kadaj. When he ran into the building, Kita's heart skipped a beat and she took off into a full run to get him.

"Visit Home":
Sojiro waited just outside the gates of the academy for his escort to arrive. Usually, he was one of the few who could travel between the realms without any trouble, but that had changed when his mother had moved into Soul Society and Kisuke had taken command. Furthermore, he had recently been abducted, and though Aizen hadn’t wanted to harm him this time, they didn’t know what the case would be next time.
Sojiro’s eyes narrowed. They didn’t even understand how Aizen had maneuvered past the barriers between realms, but hopefully having someone alert nearby would prevent the same trick from working once more.
He folded his arms and leaned against the wall, thoughts turning back to the purpose of his visit to Karakura. His first home. Where the last member of his family was. “What have you been up to, V-man?”

Tsukiro quickly appeared in front of Sojiro and grinned at him, "Long time no see, Sojiro. My apologies if I am slightly late. I may or may not have gotten distracted by how much work I have in my office."
He rubbed the back of his head before continuing his grin at Sojiro, "How have you been? How's the girl." He walked over to Sojiro and nudged him slightly, "Eh?"

Sojiro blinked a couple times at the jubilant tone and then rolled his eyes. Of course he would be asking about Makino. Like Kisuke, Mom, and everyone else. “She’s doing well,” he replied. “She’s immersed herself in her project as the lead organizer of the festival. It’s really helped to take her mind off of all that has happened.”
He paused, eyes catching the violet streaks in his hair. In fact, Tsukiro wasn’t dressed in his stealth uniform or besides the captain’s haori. Below that, he was in one of his stylish Human World outfits, white jeans with a black leather belt, grey boots, and a grey dress shirt unbuttoned over a loose black shirt. He was also wearing his choker.
“Taking a break after you drop me off?” he asked.

Tsukiro grinned, "Caught me. I figured I may as well. I've been caught up in my work for quite awhile now. I figured this would be a great opportunity to just be me outside of work."
He spun quickly and waved his hand, "Come on, brat. Talk to me. How have you been since everything has went down?" He chuckled as he rested his hands on the back of his head.

Sojiro chuckled and followed Tsukiro towards the exit point nearby. “I’m still busy, as usual, just getting more sleep now that Kisuke, Dad, and Seto have slowed the training sessions.” For a moment, he considered stopping there, but then, he called Tsukiro’s own past with his mother. At least what was written and spoken of. “And in spite of the argument, Dad opened up about the past yesterday.” He paused. “At first I thought he was stalling me. Because of my question.”
“And he would do that,” Tsukiro scoffed, a half smile on his face. “What was the question?”
“When he knew he was in love with Mom.”

Tsukiro huffed shaking his head. "Let me guess." He looked Sojiro's way. "When Tervaden swept her away and married her?"
Sojiro sighed. "Do you doubt my father that much?"
Tsukiro chuckled as he rubbed his temple, his eyes casting down then looked to Sojiro. "Lets just say there are still issues in that area." He patted his shoulder firmly as they stepped up to the gate to travel to the human realm.

Sojiro followed him and tuned out the 12th Division’s orders, waiting for the intercom to close before speaking up again. “I asked him because I was having trouble with the same thing - with Makino. But it turned into much more when I realized he would talk to me. And... it settled my own mixed feelings in that area, not necessarily about his love for Mom, but about not fighting for her when she chose Seto."
"Did it help with your issue?" Tsukiro asked as the hell butterflies showed up.
Sojiro nodded. "It did." He chuckled and smirked. "Though he let me discover what his riddle meant to understand his point."

Tsukiro grew silent as they entered the Senkaimon as he fell into thought. "So let me guess. She dropped the bomb on you first?"
Sojiro only nodded slowly as he looked over to Tsukiro then forward again as they moved on through the gate.
Tsukiro chuckled. "And you have no clue if you love her or not or you care about her just not ready to say the word 'love'." His hands slid into his pockets.
"Close enough," Sojiro murmured.
Tsukiro stopped walking suddenly as Sojiro stepped ahead of him. "Close enough? To which one? If you don't love the girl cut her loose, Sojiro. Leading her on is only going to hurt her." The boy turned and looked at him.
"I mean that I am not ready to say the word love, Tsuki. I wouldn't be with her if I didn't have strong feelings for her." He started walking again. "It's dangerous enough as my friend."
Tsukiro stayed in place as the boy walked forward, "really~? That's your reason for not telling the girl you love her?" He started to chuckle as he combed his fingers through his hair shaking his head. "Let me ask you something, Sojiro?" Sojiro stopped and turned looking at him again. "What happens if by some strange accident Makino is taken away before you get the chance to tell her?"

“Someone is already trying,” he muttered. Sojiro turned around and faced Tsukiro. “When she kissed me, I didn’t know how deeply I felt. The second time I told her that I wouldn’t let her go unless she fell for someone else.” He looked away. “I beat someone up for kissing her the day of the abduction.” He ran a hand through his hair. "She chose me still. And keeps doing it."

Tsukiro shook his head. "So she loves you, that's a fact, but that's not what I ask you, Sojiro." He stepped up in front of him and looked into his eyes. "What would you do if those guys that threatened her finally got a hold of her." He paused.
"She is a Masanobu. She is a fighter and she won't quit until one of two things take place." Tsukiro knew he did not have to say it, he knew the boy knew it was freedom or death. "You can't plan your life around your past. You can't even plan it around your future. If you do. You lose what's most important. Dangers lay around every corner. Just stepping out of your front door could get you killed. Hell, with Aizen and his group, you don't even have to leave your home." He sighed again.
"Look, what I am getting at here is if you love her tell her. And yes, because you're mark by the bastard anyone close to you is marked, but that don't save the ones that are not close to you. If they get in the mans way they will die just as quickly as anyone else. Quicker actually."
He stepped around Sojiro. "Don't learn to start regretting now. You're young, take the life you have and live no matter how long or short it might be. No one knows the future, so live in the now. Not the future and definitely not the past. It will teach you nothing but regrets."

Sojiro was silent for a few minutes until they came to the door leading to the Human World and Karakura. His heart clenched a bit. It always did when he returned. Because in spite of the change, for three years, it took him a moment to adjust to the pain in his mother’s eyes. Because his father was still gone. Because Kadaj was still growing without his father. Because of what they had already lost. And the pressure to prevent anything else from hurting them.
“Until she kissed me, I really didn’t notice her. Riku, either, really,” Sojiro murmured, but still loud enough for Tsukiro to hear. “I didn’t notice she was waiting for me to notice her and that Riku was attracted to me and falling deeper for me, as well.” He ran a hand through his hair again. “They were my friends. But they weren’t my family, and my whole focus was there.”
He stepped into the sunlight of Karakura Town and looked around the park. “After everything that I had been through, until my eyes were opened, family was all I really was paying attention to. Like my father.”Moved-- END --

“Unbiased Answers”: (continued) The Godly gate opened as Kita and Kadaj stepped out onto the academy grounds. They could see Sojiro’s dorm building from where they were standing. Off in the horizon you could see the faint glow of the rising sun. Kita looked down at her son at her side as he held her hand, a bright smile cross his lips.
He then quickly stepped forward tugging his mother with him. “Come on mommy. Toji right there.” He pointed ahead of them at the dorm building.She giggled softly and stepped forward. “We can take our time I am sure Sojiro is still sleeping it is early still.”“Him got crass today. We need hurry so I can play wif him before he yeave for it.” Kadaji reminded her as he tugged at her hand again. “I grow up I going here to. I grow up to be big and strong like Toji and daddy.”"Don't worry, you will have plenty of time to visit with your big brother." Kita told him as they walked on. Kadaj then started rambling.Moved
