That seemed to be the wrong thing to say as Sojiro’s eyes narrowed and his eyes flashed much like his father’s would have. “Like my parents knew what to say,” he snapped. “Mom runs into danger at the first sign of the war, and she doesn’t care about what it does to her children to see her do it. And Dad…”
His throat closed, the image of his father dissolving set in his eyes. “Dad was a fool…. He cared for my mom like no other. And yet he would throw it all away, me, her, his second chance, without any hesitation. He threw all of himself into the war, and would lose more and more. And …. didn’t even have the fucking will to fight for what was left!” He threw another punch at the wall, bloodying his knuckles. The pain stopped him. Momentarily.
“There are so many times that I doubted whether they realized I was there! And now, it’s happening all over again! With my brother who is even younger than I was! He's three!" His voice broke. "He wants to fix things, but Las Noches, it tries so hard to make you something you're not. And my parents never escaped!" He threw his fist again, but Yumiko caught it before he could hurt his other wrist.
"LET GO!"

As Ukitake held Shina, Yumiko tugged Sojiro towards her, turning him to rest against her chest. He growled but stayed against her for a moment before fighting her once more.
“Let go! You’re shielding me won’t do anyone any good! I have to fight! I have to fight them! Because they are nothing but fucking idiots and I won’t get any answer from Vale without doing it!”
“Sojiro, calm down,” Yumiko called out, taking his hand.
“I don’t WANT TO CALM DOWN!” he screamed. “Staying quiet, waiting patiently, trusting them, it gets me nowhere! They’re not HERE! They’re GONE! Into the war I am not quite strong enough for because I won’t be either one of them!”
Yumiko could feel tears coming to her eyes at the distress radiating off Sojiro. She glanced to her father figure. With pain like this inside him, it was small wonder that the return of his favorite uncle didn’t calm him as much as could be hoped. And it struck a nerve inside her.

The words were pouring out of him, and inwardly he winced at each accusation and condemnation that came forth. He loved his family. He wanted to trust them. But each night he lay awake worrying about Kadaj only made that position all the harder. Each time Aizen cut down his friends and attacked Makino without him being able to do something, he felt useless and weak. Because hope didn’t let him move fast enough. Because the threat of his own life only carried him so far. He had had to stop talking to Kenji because he couldn’t help him or rely on him. Kisuke’s position was making it clear how difficult it was to fix things, even on the top. And the hand of the gods on his aunt Yumiko and his Take-jii only made the twisted effect of them on his mother all the more agonizing. Nothing was going right. NOTHING! Not long enough to matter. That's what it seemed to be.
His mother hadn't even married his father when he came back.
And now, his last haven, his feelings for Makino were being torn asunder at the same time the last of his family had been taken from him. After all the years he had lost. All the time he had waited.
Sojiro screamed into the air - just as the siren whirled overhead.

All three of them looked up into the sky, but before they could focus much on the direction of the siren, Sojiro growled. Juushiro turned back to him in time to watch his eyes narrow and his hands clench. A moment later, he vanished. Juushiro stood, handing Shina to Yumiko.
“He must have stopped time,” she declared, holding her daughter close to her chest. “Ukitake, we-”
Juushiro sighed, shaking his head as he interrupted her. "No, you have to get down below,” Juushiro stated. “But I have to go.”
The direction of the disturbance lay far away, in the fields on the outskirts of Seireitei’s walls and beyond the Rukongai.

Yumiko shook her head quickly. “No. I can’t do that.” She held her daughter closer to her. “You’re a mother.” “And I am not losing you again. Misao did not make me Shina’s mother for me to hide away.” She took a breath. “And you can’t get there on your own fast enough. I am going. I have to. Sojiro isn't going to listen to reason, especially if one of his family remembers are behind the disturbance.” Violet eyes hard, she disappeared and then returned, without Shina. “Her father and Isane will protect Shina. I will protect you.” This is a war I can’t escape either.
Her father nodded slowly and the two ran in the same direction as Kita and Gin’s eldest son. -- END RP -- "The Grass is Not Greener":

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: Deep RenewalEpisode 318 "Reaching Out": After hearing the Commander's announcement the weight of what felt to be the world, lifted from Isane's shoulders, she was glad that someone knew what was happening. Even if they did not have the full details of said happenings. However, that was not the worst of her worries at the moment.
She had hundreds of wounded and exhausted healers. She needed more help and she needed the Gotei's strongest back on their feet just in case things might go array. She walked over to her desk and opened a drawer to her left and lifted out a small silver Soul Phone. Opening it she called the only other people she knew that had extraordinary healing powers. Kisuke, and the few others that lived within the shop.
A soft ring sounded in the background, it rang once then twice then once more. It kept ringing and ringing. Isane let a heavy sigh escape her and was about to end the call when she heard the voice of Tessai."Urahara Command Post, Tsukabishi Tessai speaking." "Tessai, this is Captain Kotetsu, Isane."Tessai smiled warmly her voice almost sounding relieved and excited to hear his voice. Though he had to admit he was pleased in hearing her voice as well. "How can I help you, Captain Kotetsu?" She sighed heavily once more. "Division Four is in need of exceptional healers. We have more wounded than we have Gotei members and my squad is wearing thin.""So you need our help?" Tessai's head nodded slowly though she could not see it. "I am sure the Boss will be fine with this."Isane gave a sigh of relief, "That is wonderful. Thank you so much. Also, could you please bring Kita with you? Her healing powers would be such an added blessing."Tessai fell silent for a brief second his head nodding again. "I am sure I can convince her to assist.""Thank you so much, Tessai. Division Four will be in your debt for this." Isane expressed. "I am guessing you would like us there as soon as possible?" "Yes, please. The sooner the better, but I understand with everything going on if you cannot.""You will see us within the hour," Tessai informed her."Thank you again, Tessai and we will see you soon," Isane replied.
She heard Tessai hum in response as they said their goodbyes and ended the call. Putting her Soul Phone back into her desk drawer she turned and left her office to return to the medical ward to help assist and lead her division.--END RP-- "The Way of Healing"

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: Deep RenewalEpisode 346 "From Fourth To Fourth": It was mid afternoon, just after lunch when a Hell Butterfly came to Naomi. Its message was simple. Naomi was to report to the Fourth Division captain, Isane Kotetsu. It reviled no more or no less information. It just stated that Captain Kotetsu would like to speak with her.
Sending a message of her own, back to Captain Kotetsu, Naomi went and found her own captain, Captain Ukitake, to let him know of the request and make sure she was not needed. Once she got the clearance from her Captain, she was off to report to Captain Kotetsu at the Fourth division.
Now standing in front of Captain Kotetsu's office door, Naomi knocked lightly, waiting for permission to enter.

Isane looked up from her paperwork toward the door of her office after hearing the knock that softly echoed through her office. "Come in."
Watching the door slide open, and the petite frame of Fourth Seat, Naomi Kato bow before her.
"Hello, Captain Kotetsu. You requested an audience with me?"
Isane smiled warmly at her, then gestured to the chair in front of her desk. "Yes, I did. Have a seat, Naomi."
Naomi did as requested of her, taking a seat in front of the captain's desk. She folded her hands in her lap and sat up straight. "Do you need my assistance with healing someone?"
"No," Isane giggled silently. "I called you here because as you know, since Captain Unohana's passing, I was promoted to the position of Captain of the Fourth division. Of course, that left the position of lieutenant open."
Naomi's head nodded slowly, "please tell me you don't want my advice on who might fit the position?"
Isane giggled shaking her head. "No, on the contrary. I called you here to ask you if you would be interested in taking the position of my lieutenant."

Naomi's eyes widened and she grew very quite, letting the captain's offer sink in. Did she really offer her the position of lieutenant of the medical division. A position she dreamed of since she was forced to join the Gotei 13. A position that suited her powers of Kido and of her zanpakuto.
Naomi wrung her hands in her lap, she was suddenly nervous at the thought of taking on such an important position. She cast her eyes downward. "Are you sure I am the one you want for this position, Captain?"
"Of course you are," Isane reached across her desk and picked up a file, she sat it down on the desk in front of Naomi. "This is your file from the academy. It has your grades and all your achievements. It also has the hand written recommendation from none other then the late Captain Commander Yamamoto."
"Huh," Naomi's tone confused as she reached for the file and opened it. On top of all the other papers in the file, was a hand written letter with the late commanders signature on it. It seem that it was the letter that was given to the administrators of the academy for her admittance. He spoke very highly of her in the letter. Lifting the letter she thumbed through the papers in the file. Page after page was papers from the academy. Her grades, awards she earned and letters from her teachers to help her with placement in the Gotei 13.
She looked up at Captain Kotetsu from the file. "It seems they have my whole life in here since I arrived in Soul Society."

Isane's head bobbed, "yes, you can say they have been keeping a close eye on you."
Naomi sighed, her head lowering once more as she fidgeted with the hem of her uniform. "It's because I am half human, isn't it?" She looked back up at Captain Kotetsu.
Isane nodded with a soft sigh, "Yes, with the past history we have had with Soul Reaper hybrids the Gotei takes many precautions."
"Hybrid?" Naomi huffed. "I don't feel like a hybrid. I feel like a science project. I have been watched, and questioned and I have had to prove myself with my every move." Her head shook. "It's going to be the same way if I take this position. Will anyone even listen to me when I give an order?"
"Naomi," Isane stood from her chair behind her desk and walked around it to be with Naomi. She sat down on the front edge of her desk and took Naomi's hand's in hers. "For the last 7 years you have build a rapport with the others, from captains to students. Yes, at first you had to prove yourself to your peers and the officers, but that road has already been paved. You have proven yourself to everyone." Isane gave her a warm smile and patted her hand.
"That is why I am asking you to be my lieutenant. The lieutenant of the Fourth division. There can be no other. You are smart, loving, kind and care for the well being of others. I can't think of another person I would rather have by my side."
She stood from the edge of her desk still smiling warmly at Naomi. "So what do you say? Will you be my lieutenant, Naomi Kato?"

Naomi sat there in silence once more. She cast her eyes down, many things racing through her mind. She wanted to say yes, she so badly wanted this position. She had dreamed of this position since she joined the Academy. It was perfect for her and her powers. She sat there a few more seconds in silence, then with a heavy sigh she stood in front of Captain Kotetsu.
She sighed and shook her head chasing away all the 'what if' questions. She looked pointedly at the Captain, giving her a sharp nod and a wide confident smile.
"Captain Kotetsu." Her smile widened. "Yes. I will take the position of your lieutenant for the Fourth division."Isane returned her smile and offered her hand, the two shook hands. "Welcome to the Fourth division, Lieutenant Kato.""Thank you, Captain Kotetsu. I promise to bring nothing but honor to my position and the division." Naomi bowed to her new captain.Isane nodded with a bright smile and patted Naomi's shoulder. "Well, I am sure you want to share the good news with your father and friends, and I am sure they are going to want to celebrate with you. So what do you say you report tomorrow morning and we will get you settled in?"Naomi nodded quickly her smile so wide she was starting to get cramps in her cheeks. "Yes Captain Kotetsu, I will be here first thing." She quickly took a few steps toward the door, turned, and bowed once more. "Thank you so much for giving me this chance."
Before the captain could reply, Naomi was out the door and off to share the wonderful news with her family and friends.~END RP~ "Three Yes' or No Go"

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 430 “Time Off”: Captain Isane Kotetsu sat in her office after a very long day and an even longer night before. They had gotten a call from Kisuke Urahara that two of their own were critically injured. Going to the human realm to retrieve them their night was cut out for them. Koi Coda and Captain Isao Zayasu came into the medical ward with some major wounds. The worst was Koi missing part of her arm and being poisoned. While Captain Isao Zayasu suffered a hole in his chest.
They were able to get both of them stable, bandaged, and cleaned up. She could not believe the amount of blood they were covered in. She would have sworn they had fought in a blood bath. She just hoped the Commander could find someone to tend to Captain Isao's division. It was going to be a bit before she was going to release him, and with no Lieutenant and no one in his division capable of stepping, Isane saw a bit of a dilemma. As she sat at her desk filling out paperwork a knock echoed through her office.
“Come in,” Isane’s sweet voice called out to the person on the other side of the door. The door slid open as Isane smiled brightly. It was her lieutenant, Naomi Kato.

“Captain Kotetsu,” Naomi bowed to her captain. Standing her captain gestured for her to take a seat in front of her desk.
“How are they doing, lieutenant?” Isane asked.
“Well,” Naomi expressed. “if it had not been for Miyamoto and nearly purifying all of Lady Coda’s blood--" Naomi fell silent as she looked down at her hand in her lap. “I am sure we would have lost her.” She looked back up at her captain. “Captain Zayasu is doing wonderfully. The hole in his chest is closed all he has now is bumps and bruises.”

“Are they resting,” Isane questioned as she filled out her paperwork.
“Yes, Lady Coda is still sedated rather heavily. We want to make sure all the poison is out of her system before she starts moving around and getting it circulating through her bloodstream faster. Captain Zayaus is just resting in his wife's room watching over her.”
Isane smiled brightly nodding her head, “Sounds like Isao.” She looked up at her lieutenant once more. Naomi looked as exhausted as she felt. “What do you say you get out here? Go take a nice hot bath, eat a hot meal, and kiss that handsome boyfriend of yours.”

Naomi’s smile brightened. “That sounds wonderful, but are you sure you will be alright while I am gone?”“We’ll be fine,” Isane waved her off. “Now go.”Naomi nodded quickly. “It would be nice to get cleaned up and get something hot to eat.” She then sighed, “But I’ll have to wait to kiss Kairo. I am sure Captain Ashimitsu is working his butt off.” “Well two out of three ain't bad,” Isane giggled with a wink at her lieutenant.Naomi giggled, standing from her chair, and bowed to her captain, “Thank you, ma'am. I won’t be long. I promise.”“Nonsense. Take your time and come back when you're good and rested. I don’t need you falling asleep on the job.” She smiled warmly at Naimo. “Alright,” Naomi bowed again as she turned and walked toward the office door.“See you in a few hours,” Isane replied.Naomi smiled nodding her head, “thank you again, Captain.”
Her captain only waved her off as she opened the door and disappeared from her office.~END RP~ "One of These Things is Not Like the Other"
