Kita locked Orihime safely in her room and turned from the door. “Kita, your master told you that I was to be at your side at all times.”
“Shut up, baka!” Kita hit the door causing Orihime to jump back slightly, “You can’t go where I am going it would mean the death for the both of us. So sit down shut up and I will be back in an hour or so. You won’t even know I am gone.” Kita walked from the door a few feet and snapped her fingers.
Stepping into the garguanta she heads for Urahara’s Shop. Once there she entered the lot and walked up to the door knocking firmly. There she stood and waited for a return answer. Just then, the door slid open and there stood Kisuke.
“Well Kita what a surprise. Got away from the bat I see.” Kisuke smiled from behind his fan.
“I don’t have time, Kisuke. I have something I need to ask you.” Kita stated flatly.
Kisuke closed his fan and opened the door more, his tone turning from light to serious, “are you alright, Kita? You seem,” Kisuke paused as he looked at Kita.
“I seem what?” Kita bit back as she walked in.
“Like an arrancar.” Kisuke said sliding the door closed with a thud of its closing.
Kita looked around the room, “Are we the only ones here?”
Kisuke nodded, “Come with me.” Kisuke led Kita to the back room and gestured for her to sit at the table. He then disappeared from her view.
Kita drew her hand to her head rubbing her forehead, “I don’t have time for this Kisuke! Hurry up!”
When Kisuke returned he had a black and white choker in his had it too had a bell attached to it. He squatted down behind Kita and moved her hair to the side. Kita turned her body and looked back at him.
“What are you doing?!”
“Replacing your choker with this one,” Kisuke replied firmly and went to reach for the clasp on the choker.
Kita quickly covered the clasp with her hand and narrowed her eyes at Kisuke, “This was given to me by my master. I don’t need a new choker.” Her tone harsh and her eyes filled with anger.
Kisuke said nothing to Kita as he looked to the door in the room, “Tessai?”
Just then, Tessai walked in the room looking at Kita, “I am truly sorry Miss Kita, please forgive me.” Tessai then slapped his hands together like he was about to pray and started rattling off some kind of jibberish. Before Kita knew it her arms were trapped at her sides. She could not move.
“Kisuke what is this?! Let me go! NOW! KISUKE!” Kita growled.
Kisuke then reached up to her choker and released the clasp as it fell to her lap with a soft jingle. He then placed the new choker around her neck, “Trust me Kita. You know I would never harm you. This is for yours and our own good.” He hooked the clasp and picked the old choker up from her lap placing it in his pocket.
Sitting across from her at the table he looked over at her. Her eyes were narrowed and she was breathing shallow. She was mad and Kisuke could see it as plain as the nose on her face. It was the first and hopefully the last Kisuke would ever see her this way.
“Now boss?” Tessai ask him.
“Not yet Tessai. Let’s give it a few more minutes.” Kisuke told him.
“But she is really mad, boss. She is not even fighting the restraint any more she is so mad. That could be a bad sign.” Tessai said.
“She will be fine,” Kisuke replied with a reserved smile.
Kisuke sat and watched her for about 10 more minutes as he noticed her face started to soften. “Feeling a little better, Kita?”
Kita sighed then violently shook her body and yelled, “GET ME OUT OF THIS KISUKE! NOW!”
He sighed adjusting his hat, “looks like a little longer we get to sit here like this.” Kisuke crossed his arms over his chest and sat there silently watching Kita.
It was 45 minutes later and Kita was finally being released from her hold. “What did you do to me, Kisuke?” She asked him touching the choker.
“I made you… you again. Your arrancar personality was taking over. I found a way to block that so you don’t arrancar out on us.” Kisuke told her.
Kita giggles softly, “Arrancar out?”
Kisuke shrugged his shoulders, “For lack of a better word. Yeah.” He looked over to Tessai and nodded as he stood up and left the room, “so Kita, tell me? What did you come by here for today?”
Kita shook her head, “The soul reaper I heard you and Juushiro talking about. The one that was sent to Las Noches and you help conceal his identity. He is in danger.”
Kisuke adjusted his hat and looked at Kita, “are you sure of this?”
“Yes, my master sent me to hunt him down and kill him if and when I found him.” Kita paused as she looked at him, “Kisuke, this is not going to end on a good note. I know I would never be able to kill him. I am sure he very much stronger than me, but that won’t stop my master or even Aizen from doing the job.”
Kisuke sighed, “I have no way of contacting Toshiro to tell him this. He is completely cut off from us and the soul society.” Kisuke looks at Kita with an inquiring gaze.
Kita started shaking her head, “No. Kisuke no. Please don’t even ask me for that favor. You know that is only endangering his life as well as mine. No. I won’t do it. No.”
With every objection Kita gave Kisuke his lower lips pushed out more. He was giving her the begging puppy eyes and his lower lip; could have been step on if it stuck out any more.
“But Kita,” Kisuke whined.
Kita sighed shaking her head, “I don’t know who the bigger fool here is. You for asking or me for accepting it.”
Kisuke leaped at Kita and hugged her tightly, “Thank you thank you thank you, Kita. You’re such a sweetie.”
Kita crossed her arms looking away from Kisuke, “What does Toshiro look like?”
Kisuke sat back quickly with a goofy grin on his face as he fanned his fan at Kita, “Oh that’s an easy one.” He raised his hand a little above his head as he sat on the floor next to Kita, “he’s a little guy with turquoise eyes.”
Kita’s eyes widened to the size of saucers as she quickly stood from the table, “the arrancar I saw here?!“
“Yep that's him,“ Kisuke confirmed.
“I have to go. Now.” Kita quickly headed to the front of the shop as Kisuke followed close behind.
“Kita whatever you do, do not take off your choker or your arrancar side will come back on you.”
Kita nodded as she stepped down from the stair to the ground and snapped her fingers together. “I won’t. I promise, but I have to get back to Las Noches before Aizen and Szayel get their hands on Zeshin.”
Kisuke watched her step into the garguanta and watched it slowly go closed, “Zeshin?”
Once back in Las Noches, Kita went to go find the new arrancar. She hoped it was not too late for him.
