Aizen stood from the throne and looked to Vale. "You are sure of this?"
Vale nodded, turning his gaze toward Aizen. "She asked me to be careful when I went to retrieve Evita. I suggested she come with me. When I woke, she was gone. I can only assume that she is there, as she is not here."
Gin could feel his hidden rage surfacing. "And you just let her leave like that?" he hissed. "You did not guess that she might escape after using you so thoroughly?" His hands clenched. "She is still human, something you fail to remember."
"Are you deflecting, Ichimaru? I was sleeping. I had her tied to the bed earlier. Would you like if I had kept her that way so that she, like any other able bodied individual, would not have escaped?"
Gin snarled, both at the image presented and the Stray's simple response. "She is a clever person, even more so with her powers, and in situations like this, she will protect her own to the point of recklessness. Remember that next time you fuck her until dawn!"
Vale nodded, a smirk forming on his lips. "Thank you, Ichimaru. I'll remember to do that."
Aizen looked between the men as they tossed cheep jabs at one another as he stepped toward them with a smirk. "Though entertaining as it is, I have heard enough from you two." He looked solely to Vale. "Is it true that the Quincy are protected from her powers?"

Vale nodded, returning his attention to his Master. "That is what she's told me. Another one of Alister's games. But, this is Alister, we are talking about. This may only be temporary." Shoving his hand deep in his pocket, Vale turned away from the throne.
"If I may, Lord Aizen, I would like to make a suggestion."
Aizen nodded. "Go on."
"Leave Ichimaru here. In his current state, all inhibition will go out of the window at the sight of Kita. It doesn't matter that we will be going to retrieve Evita. His focus is on masking the pain brought on by his separation from Kita."
Gin snickered. "And you think you know me so well," the snake sneered. He folded his arms again. "I work best at destruction and mayhem when my equilibrium has been threatened. And another thing... I am not so foolish as to stalk her today."
"While I am one who knows the joys of chaos and destruction, this is far more that your equilibrium being threatened. So, I don't want to hear that shit. You killed this man." Vale pointed to Aizen. "Then, went into a coma the last time your equilibrium had been threatened. What will you do this time?"

Aizen looked over to Gin his eyes looking to the bandage wrapped around his chest. "Ichimaru, Kita had orders to heal you and Tervaden completely." He stepped toward the silver haired reaper. "Did she not heal you?"
He did not give Gin time to answer him as he stopped in front of Gin. "I don't remember you coming back with a sword slash across your chest. You were stabbed with a dagger." He looked from the wound into Gin's eyes. "Where and from who did you receive this injury.

Gin couldn't stay silent under that look. It reminded him too much of old times when his Master would push to one extreme only to demand he calm himself the next. But, Gin clenched his hands, this wasn't then.
"I had a misunderstanding and made the glass pay for it rather than go hunting for our prey," he replied smoothly.

Aizen chuckled and quickly turned from Gin. "Do you really take me for that big of a fool, Ichimaru?" He paused, "Now lets try this again. What happen to your chest?"
Gin shrugged. "It wasn't a complete lie, Aizen-san," he murmured. "I did have a disagreement and let the glass pay. I just didn't mention the part about using my own body as a way to bring out some bloodlust, enough to keep me sane."
Aizen hummed nodding slowly. He looked over to Vale. "I am granting your request, Tervaden." He turned looking at Ichimaru a smirk across his lips. "You are dismissed, Ichimaru. Return to your quarters until further orders."
Gin growled and spun around. "I came here of my own free will. No one can keep me here if I chose to bring back any who would oppose us!" he snapped.
Aizen chuckled as he turned toward Gin. "Yes, you came of your own free will--To collect your woman and leave. Nothing more. I allowed you to stay because of your woman and I was able to get you to revert; slightly. However, Kita's spell over you was much stronger than that and I was not able to crack you further." He paused looking into the Snake's narrowed eyes. "You are dismissed, Ichimaru."

In a flash, Gin drew Shinsou, glaring as his Master deflected with his own blade. "I am not your student anymore," he hissed in his most deadly tone, "and I will do what I want." He smirked. "Gambling with my life comes with the territory, or have you forgotten that it was a scrawny boy with only a sword to his name that erased all your rivals?" He stepped back, Shinsou still drawn. "As for Kita's hold over me, it must mean so much when she's left me for the stray."
Aizen chuckled softly. "You know as well as I that the hold this woman has on you, compared to the hold you have on her are two different things entirely." Aizen stepped up closer to Gin. "You have kept her so dependent on you. She has never had the chance to stand on her own. Now that she can. You are afraid she will leave you. You grasp at straws before you, hoping not to miss one. When in reality you missed one of the most important. She is a woman. A woman of great strength, beauty and pride, and you place her on a shelf unreachable to all. She is no longer that child you protected years ago. She is the Goddess' vessel and stronger than even the three of us in this room."
"I don't think anyone here doubts that." said Vale, stepping between his Lord and Ichimaru. "I've always been curious why you call me Stray, Ichimaru. You've either deemed that I have deviated from my path or that I am worthy of abandonment. Yet, here we are. Me on my original path. And you, isolated, lost and alone. "
"Because you had no place where you belonged and thought you could make it work in any situation," Gin snarled at the man. He turned back to his Master. "Kita never was a child. If she were, she would have taken her life after that first night with Loki. I kept her close to me because I had something greater than even you. It was something you constantly saw as me wandering from you. And I loved it. It proved I could stand on my own."
"I wonder what it means now with you all isolated now," Vale muttered.
Gin sliced him across the face and vanished.

Vale raised his hand to the bleeding mark on his face. His eyes narrowed as he turned to face his lord. "It is your right as lord of this realm to keep him by your side." Shaking his head, Vale wiped his face with his hand. "But, I don't understand why you would want to entrust one of your conquered realms to the man that killed you." "With all do respect, Lord Aizen, stay here." said Vale, turning toward the doors of the throne room, casting his bloody jacket to the floor. "I'll be back." At that, Vale vanished. Moved

"Rising Darkness":Aizen walked back over to his Throne in waiting. He was not sure if it was the proper thing to do in letting Vale go alone. Yes, Kita was there, but as they had pointed out. The Quincy were protected from her powers and Vale was not strong enough to face them from the report he received from both Vale and Kita. He looked across the room where Ichimaru stood just moments before a small drop of Vale's blood on the floor from the quick attack of Shinsou. He smirked. Even in turmoil, no man was as quick with a blade than Gin Ichimaru. He was a rival well worth having at his side. Dangerous to his well-being or not. He could not afford, not to have Ichimaru close and keep a watchful eyes on.

The gate opened, Kita and Vale walking from within, Evita held tightly in Vale's arms as she fought against him. She was fighting Vale so badly, Kita had to restrain her arms to keep her from slapping and clawing at Vale's face and body, but it did not help the fact her body still thrashed within Vale's strong arms. When they stepped from the gate Vale gently placed Exita to her feet looking to Kita.
She released Evita, no sooner then she was released she ran. Aizen however, was quick to stop his daughter before she was able to leave the Throne room. Paying no mind to Aizen and his daughter, Kita turned her attention to a scratch Evita placed on Vale's cheek under another cut. Kita was not sure where he or when he got that one since he was completely healed when she left his side.
Her look was serious as she let her thumb brush across the scratch, healing it almost insistently, then moved to the cut. "How did you get this one? I left you without a single mark. Did you piss off the wrong person?"

Vale shook his head, taking Kita's hand in his. "Your husband has a bad temper. There is no need to have him here. Not anymore. I don't care how strong he is. Or, how fast his blade may be. He's killed the lord of this realm. He's laid traps in this palace, as if it were his own...against his own."
"Gin Ichimaru is a worthless piece of shit that will try to kill you again!" shouted Vale, turning to face Evita and Aizen. "Again, I understand keeping him close. But, he's not proven he's worth the threat on your life!"

Aizen looked Vale's way with his outburst. "If Ichimaru is banished from Las Noches you know what will take place." Aizen replied calming his daughter as he held her in his arms. He looked to Kita who stood before Vale.
"His first act of rebellion would be to take what is his. And even though she is punishing him. She rightfully belong to him. Sojiro as well." He looked back to Vale, "And the times the shrew becomes uncontrollable. Who will control her?"

"She belongs to no one. Not me. Not you. Not him." said Vale, pushing Kita behind him as her eyes narrowed. "You want to control her, stop treating her like she is someone's property. It might work for Yumiko. But, not for Kita."
"And, he won't touch Sojiro." added Kita. "He won't take him from me."
Vale shook his head, stepping toward Aizen. "His first act will fail. His second, will be to rain his brand of hell on Las Noches. A hell you're very much prepared for." Vale pointed to Set, who hissed as he stood by the throne. "This is chess, Aizen! Quit playing checkers! You know how to find him. You have Koga. You have Sada. You know how to stop him. You have the twins for that."
"And, what should I do, Vale...After he's caught? Put him in the Maze?"
"Put him in the very beast he's created? No. You're crying for him to get out." Grinning, Vale turned, facing Kita. He glanced over his shoulder at Aizen. "I'm more prepared for him than you realize."

Aizen smirked as he brushed the loose hairs from Evita's damp cheeks. "Then the Snake is yours. You become his Master, making him bow as he did once before the woman standing behind you." He gathered his daughter in his arms bridal style and walked toward his chamber door.
"I expect you to tame the beast not kill him, Tervaden." Aizen smirked. "That is your challenge. Along with finding another to take his place in lording over the human realm."

Vale nodded, bowing slightly as Aizen walked passed him. Dragging a hand across his bare chest, Vale looked to Kita. "Well, this was fun." he said with a sigh, hearing the door to Aizen's chambers close. Kita shook her head, wrapping her arms around her torso. "What are you going to do?"Vale rested a hand to her shoulder, as he placed a gentle kiss to her forehead. "I want to show you something." Kita looked to Vale confused, but followed him from the Throne room. Vale stopped at the throne room doors, resting a hand on said doors. He looked up at the vaulted ceiling of the throne room. Then, over his shoulder and around the room. His grey eyes narrowed as a smirk formed on his lips. Moving out of the way, Vale gently nudged Kita into the hall before him. Pulling a ring from his pocket, Vale threw it into the throne room. He listened to the metal clang against the marble floor, before whispering to the air in the room. "Let's play a game..." Moved

"Visiting the Captives":Aizen walked in the Throne room after sending a messenger to collect the ones he summoned for the meeting. It had been twenty-four hour, plus, since the captive had been brought to Las Noches and placed in the Maze. It was time to pay them a visit and let them know of their situation from here on out. Turning at his throne, he sat looking out over the vacant room as his thoughts drifted to what his daughter Evita had told him of the treatment the Quincy provided her while in their care. "Their time is limited in the human realm and in their pathetic existence. I will come for you Quincy. All of you." Drifting back into thought, Aizen remained on his throne until the messenger returned with news. He bowed before his Master and Lord, eyes diligently to the floor. "My Lord, I have delivered your request to two of the requested; however, Lord Ichimaru is nowhere to be found in the palace. The last time he was seen was yesterday before he took audience with you. So the Reaper Izuru reported to me." Aizen frowned as he looked to the messenger. "Keep looking for him and when you find him bring him to me immediately." The messenger nodded turned and went to leave the room, but not before his Master stop him. "Wait." A smirk crossed his lips as the messenger turned to look at him. "On second thought. Take him to Tervaden. If you find Ichimaru after the fact of Tervaden leaving to Soul Society, he is to go there." "Yes, my Lord, as you deem." The messenger turned and left, leaving Aizen there with his thoughts once more. "Where could he be, I wonder?" Aizen pondered on the Snake.
