>[] indulge her, I do need a bit of a break

Kimi needs a fun day, as fun as a day without murdering Hollows can be anyway

>>2268377
>[] indulge her, I do need a bit of a break

"fine, I'll come along not like I have anything else that requires my attention but if anything comes up you understands that" I say slowly as she swallows a cheer, stomping her feet in her barely contained excitement not actually hearing anything after "fine" I'm almost certain

"Oh I know I know, duty calls when it calls" She says proving my feeling wrong, making my eyes go wide with shock as she pulls me down the street. I think I hear a laugh or two behind myself and glare back over my shoulder making sure not a single troublesome rumor more is given enough life to start spreading again "But come on!"

"Do you even have an idea what you want to do?" I ask as she shrugs

"Probably get you some lunch, you glutton" She says with a teasing smile, reaching to pinch my stomach.

I just turn to smoke and flow in front of her, not missing a step as I continue down the street with her by my side, crossing her arms in a huff.

Well

>Pick her up in revenge for that little jab

"Couldn't you just play along a little? its not like your actually fat" She grumbles as I glance over to her and smirk, turning to smoke as she looks away from me. This is the only way I can catch her, when she lets her guard down, otherwise she'll be out of my grasp before I can even blink. the trick works, and I scoop her up with my arm, holding her up like a struggling dog or drunk, laughing quietly as she kicks her legs in the air.

"What? I just thought I get into the teasing spirit, aya" I ask as I start to walk, easily holding her up as she keeps on struggling and trying to break free. She stops as I crest the top of a bridge as glance around at the scenery for a second since its a long way to the our usual lunch place and I might as well enjoy the view for a second.

"Its not like I tried to pick you up like an old cat!" She whimpers, trying to pull herself out of my vice like grip, kicking her legs wildl y again

"because you can't" I say, walking away from the view of the seireitei and towards the empty road leading eventually to delicious fried pork

"That...that has nothing to do with this. this is tyranny! unjust punishment!" She yells, making me feel a little embarrassed but well, its not like I'm going to stop since its funny and I could use a little laugh after such grueling studying

"Oh don't use tyranny lightly, I know how a tyrant acts, don't tempt me" I say dully, smirking as she wisely stops kicking my legs and stomach

"Fine, but you're paying then" She says, pointing at me angrily, like she's accusing me of a murder.

I just nod and keep walking with her under my arm.

"Why do you smell like ink?" Aya asks innocently, like she either forgot or stopped caring about being carried around like a little kid now.

What do I say?

"Work" I reply without pause in a blase tone as my footsteps echo down the stone path in front of us, and before aya can reply to that I throw her a question myself, like an arrow through the air "But if I can ask, has life been treating you well?"

"Oh I've figured that but....you can smell like ink from just...oh!" She says happily, rocking her head back and forth in her now forgotten plight "Its certainly been worse! Mostly its just getting a little dull but I can't really complain. I mean I could but....well I'm enjoying it to be short! wish I could have more off time but, well I chose this way of life no?"

"And somehow haven't lost your cheer even after tragedy" I say happily "I'm glad for that, its all too common in people who do what we do, So nothing too troubling then?"

"Well, besides being sore from over training, yeah nothing to troubling or worrying" She says casually as I pause for a moment and look down to her with a slight frown, setting her down since I am beginning to feel pity for her now.

"So training has been going well then?" I ask stepping from the shade of the buildings around us, walking a little slower now as she smiles and laughs

"Thank you for that and yeah more or less, haven't done anything wild or elite like you do" She says with a glint of jealousy in her eyes "But its been good, just been throwing myself at it like you do, why don't you ever look worn out anyways?"

"Because I ignore it" I say simply as she looks dumbfounded "So after lunch, what do we do?"

"I dunno, we'll find out then" She says, skipping to keep up with me "And remember, you're buying!"

I just laugh and enjoy this peaceful moment

What do I do?
[] just eat and chat

[] splurge and treat her
[]Offer to take along with me to training (to the training that wouldn't reveal my secret)
[] Teach her a drinking song or two

Not like we use our pay on anything other than booze and food

>>2268614
>[] splurge and treat her
>[] Teach her a drinking song or two
>[]See if she can write poetry as well as she paints

>>2268621
Well not like kimi needs much else, since her sword doesn't dull anymore and is much harder to break than the ones she used in her life

>>2268614
>2268614
>[] splurge and treat her
>[] Teach her a drinking song or two
>[]See if she can write poetry as well as she paints

"Of course, not like I actually buy anything besides booze and food" I say as we turn the corner that will take us to our favorite dinner

"Yeah, I know" She says looking at me with a pursed smile "you live with nobles and don't even try to look presentable"

"Why should I? not like I'm a lady or anything" I say, shrugging my shoulder as we pass a pair of shinigami who I assume are a couple by how close they are to each other "Besides can't really pretty up my face with all these scars"

"Yes you can! besides I think you're already pretty, kimi" Aya huffs angrily, stomping her feet in a rhythm similar to a bird stepping into a puddle "I could help you if you wanted"

"I don't care I should've said, but don't be afraid to splurge, I have enough money saved for a big meal, or several" I say with a warm chuckle, ruffling aya's hair as she follows me past a group of non soul reaper souls and into the restaurant.

"Ah, you again!" the owner yells from somewhere in the crowd as we take our seats

"Oh, well I don't eat much but if you insist" Aya says giddily, sitting across from me as a bottle of that strong sake is set before me

"Oh not today, I still have a full day in front of me" I laugh "just some tea for me and.....oh what's with that look aya?"

"Not sake?" She asks, almost indignant

"I can drink other things" I say calmly "And my usual please, but with more fatty pork than usual if you can"

"I just....I've never seen you drink anything else" Aya says, still frozen with surprise and leaning over the table

"Well I do" I say, turning to her "Now if you insist of me being a drunkard I'll teach you a drinking song or two"

"Oh so you can sing to? are you sure you aren't a lady?" She asks teasingly as I chuckle and shake my head

"Well I can teach you poetry as well, since you're an artist at heart, and all who hold up a sword should know at least one art form, but always should strive for more" I say, clearing my throat "Now with me, so the wait for food seems shorter"

"Yes yes, just like that" I laugh, regretting I decided to get tea instead of sake now, aya laughing as she stops the last course of the song I had just finished walking her through the steps of "though part of the beauty of it is the slurred speech, which we are sadly lacking right now"

"Well I don't like sake" She says, pursing her lips and shaking her head as I sigh through my teeth and shake my head

"then you haven't had the right bottle yet, but since we apparently have a full day ahead of us we can't go looking for it now" I say, leaning against the table, holding my head up with my hand as she just giggles "So do you want to try your hand at poetry or should we go for a third song?"

"Well I have a poem in mind but its....well not something I'd like to repeat in public" She says meekly as I nod slowly and take a sip of my tea

"Could you repeat it quietly, for me?" I ask leaning a bit closer to her, the cup still against my lips

"No, because you'd tease me about it" She says, staring at her half cleared plate of roasted fish

"isn't that what siblings are for?" I ask, pushing her shoulder playfully "Come on, you know I wouldn't repeat it"

Then she suddenly goes bright red and hisses "its about lieutenant aizen"

What do I do?

"I wonder if I shouted his name if he'd come here" I say, holding my head in my hands with a look of deep thought on my face. not genuine of course, just forced to make aya panic a little bit and have the reaction I'm looking for to laugh a little.

"Don't even try! he shows up from nowhere all the time already, you don't need to push my luck any further than I have already"She hisses, grabbing my hand and digging her nails into my arm, I giggle and cover my mouth with the back of my back as she looks up at me with a desperate look deep within her eyes "I'm serious, no one can hear about this, its not good enough, its an embaresment!"

"Oh all poetry pines to be heard my dear" I say, grinning maliciously as she just shakes her head and turns a little pale

"I am not reading the poem until its ready, and even then only for who it was made" She says, her voice barely above a scared whisper

"But I am a poet, I could help you revise, improve and" I say teasingly, barely able to speak a word without nearly breaking down into a cackling laugh

"NO, no one's to hear it" She nearly barks, quieting herself as she grabs my shoulders tightly

"Fine but I could help you make a different poem" I say as she goes limp

"I don't know what else to write poetry about" She says softly, glancing up at me, still as redfaced as a drunk

"You're an artist, you just don't know how to translate your skills to the realm of poems, you're trapped in the visual" I say, sitting up straight now, taking a sip of my now slowly chilling tea with a nod "But you are an artist, a natural one at that, a rarity. I'm certain you could make the leap and make some wonderful poems, better than me for certain. And even if you stumble or can't get it right or adjust to the new medium, you're poems would still be good enough to repeat and read again. You have a talent, and though I admit I believe any poetry deserves repeating at least once after its been "Born" so to speak, I'm certain you'd be able to make something people would want to repeat if you only had the confidence to try to make it, understand?"

"I think I do, but I just...I'm not exactly good with words and I'm certain suddenly picking up something else would be a bit harsher for someone who isn't a natural at everything like you" She says a little meekly, avoiding looking me directly in the eyes

"Tch, you know that isn't true, I'm only good at my passions, which is why they're my passions you know" I say sweetly, trying to ease her into at least trying, since well....I want to hear her poetry and have always encouraged her before so why not do the same now? Buuuut, since I am her sister and I never had one in life, a stray thought reminds me siblings aren't always supportive. And well, a rather sharp toothed teasing poem wills itself to life in my mind. But well, I won't let it leave there just yet. I mean she does need a little encouragement still and

"Well my passions aren't as....I can't be open with them, you know. You're more like a man that a girl sometimes! I...its just embarrassing to even try sometimes and....kimi?" She continues on as I calmly take a sip of my tea and decide she could go without encouragement for now

"Passionate bird, on golden wings you fly" I say setting my tea down on the table, folding my hands together as I look at Aya with nearly closed eyes, retaining my calm and dignity quite well "too scared to reach for the sun, so you cry. The glimmer of the glass, as close as you get, to the beaming grin of that man"

"Kimi?" She asks again as I take another sip of tea and giggle

"Wings of gold, shaded now red, you flutter and sputter" I continue "But go silent as he approaches. Your love is deep and true, but it only grows in the shade. Just step forth into the light, and fly towards that sun, his smile wide and bright. For like the scared little bird, the sun turns away, red faced when faced with such things. Aya and sosuuuuu"

My vision is filled with a flash of bright golden haired

I plant my feet a bit firmer into the ground as aya throws herself at me, trying to shut me up by knocking me to the floor. She realizes I didn't budge a bit, takes her awhile since she ended up ramming her head into my chest and looks a little dazed and confused from the impact. When she clears her head, she looks down for a second before she starts shaking me as I pull my head back and laugh

"Stop it stop it stop it stop it stop it!!" She yells as she tries to shut me up by shaking me around "Stop it stop it stop it. No one can know about that"

"its a pretty open secret you know" I say with a sneer as she covers my mouth with bother her hands . For a moment I'm uneasy, knowing what I am, it makes me uncomfortable.

"Well I don't want anyone else to know it" She hisses into my ear "its embarrassing"

I just give her a telling look

"Alright I might've accidently insulted you but...but" She stammers, still bright red from my poem

"Not like anyone was listening close enough to" I say before I notice a familiar grim face walking into the restaurant.

Pushing aya a bit away from me, I sit up and look at her as she walks up to me, trying to draw as little attention as she can.

"Sui feng? what want some relationship advice or" I begin to tease before she leans close to me as Aya tries to lean in to here.

I push aya away, sensing the seriousness she's holding herself with.

"Captain Shihōin has a message for you" She says quietly "She says.....the twins have escaped, tell no one"

My blood goes cold and I nearly throw aya off of me standing up

I sigh, as Aya stands from me and looks between me and feng in confusion opening her mouth to ask exactly what's going on as I take a deep breath and sigh.

"You really do enjoy teasing people don't you, Kemuri?" Feng asks as I calm myself.

"Wait what did she say? is it important?' Aya asks, leaning between us as I stare at my hands, feeling them shake with barely restrained fury. And I see the smoke pouring from my wrists have started to lighten to white, which is a bad sign no matter when it happens. Pulling my sleeves down, I ignore the urges to scream or hit someone or break something and so many other horrible things.

"Aya no now, it is important so please don't bother us, and sorry its in my nature" I say, looking from my sister to feng before I step closer to her "But I can apologize later, have they caused any havoc, hurt or"

"She didn't give me many details, just that they vanished" She says softly as Aya cranes her neck up to try and hear our hushed voices "and before you ask, she told me the bare minimum to understand why this is a terrible happening so don't ask"

"Fantastic" I hiss as Aya stands on her toes

"What is?"She asks curiously, looking like a puppy before I push her back down and away

"No, this isn't for your ears" I say wagging my finger in front of her face before I turn back to feng "So how long has it been?"

"I don't know, as I said bare minimum, but I am just as worried as you are now" She says softly

"And we can't warn anyone because" I sigh as she nods

"Because it would cause a panic or worse" She says emotionlessly.

I hang my head

>I am terribly sorry Aya, but something came up. I can't divulge any details on order of the Captains, but I promise I will make this up to you

"Just perfect, the one day I decide to take off" I say, shaking my head as Feng just stares ahead "Still thank you for bringing this to my attention, Lieutenant feng"

"I was ordered to after all, so please don't mention it, though I believe you'd deserve to know even if I wasn't. I just hope you can deal with them as easily as you did before" She says calmly "if you were to run into them that as. It will be over soon so we should just"

"Wait, I know I'll be bait" I say as Aya glares at us grumpily from the table "if they haven't fled into the wilder parts of the society, they couldn't resist coming to get revenge on me for themselves and their....."

"I was going to suggest it but I thought it sounded cold" Sui feng says with the barest hint of what could be sarcasm

"Thank you" I say with a smile "So until a plan is made, I'll continue with my day and try to draw them out"

"And send a signal of some kind if they do" She says turning around "Now if you'd excuse me, I need to report back to captain shihōin"

"Stay safe" I say with a nod as she leaves

"So what was that about?" Aya asks as I frown

Not sure exactly what to tell her. I know aya knows about the quincy....but I can't recall if she knows a thing about the twins.
