"I don’t have an exact number," The teenager replied, crossing her arms over her chest. "But I think it’d be reasonable to say that this is about the hundred thousandth time you’ve told me to be more careful."

It wasn’t as if Karin didn’t appreciate him being worried about her. In fact, she liked the fact that her brother was always there for her. She liked that he cared enough about her to want to protect her and keep her from whatever would harm her. But Karin was, by nature, an independent young woman. According to her, she was old enough and wise enough to defend herself.

—-[ 猫 ] Golden eyes slid towards the gray face, it's words humming along her skin. She said nothing, the implication of such words causing an eyebrow to arch. Was this anon referring to a certain berry? The relationship was not perfect but was there such a thing? They had their problems but they pressed through, their care and need for one another pushing them forward. It was rather beautiful to watch and when they fell upon each other in misunderstanding it hurt but they always rose up together, embracing each other. It was a growing and evolving process but in time they would learn each other to the point that words wouldn't need to be exchange and if they were it would be only understood between themselves. A private affair that would bar those on the outside from penetrating their unbreakable walls. Too many fell prey to that erosion of outside influences but she had faith in these two. The only thing that would break them would be each other. . .hopefully it wouldn't come to that.

And what was wrong with the substitute shinigami? Had he not proved himself countless times against un winnable odds? The challenges that rose before him grew ever larger and more painful but he endured. His determination to survive and to not let those of them around him, down gave him strength. He had surpassed shinigami of Captain level in only a short year. And yet he didn't brag. He never boasted but remained humble and honest. He sought after the wisdom of those centuries older and trusted in them just as they trusted in him. He was a damn good guy and she knew that he would prove to do even greater things in the future. So whatever ills this gray faced harbored for him, she did not understand the reasoning.

Send me a ♛ for my muse's reaction to finding yours crying.

—-[ 猫 ] Savior. Hero. Miscalculation. Failure. Whatever one wished to label the crumbled figure before her, the fact remained he had accomplished great things. Impossible feats he had managed with little more than a death grip on his zanpakuto and an unique change desire to persevere. It was inspiring. He had done so much for them with little asked for in return. He had trusted them and in turn they trusted him. It was their lives and the balance of two worlds laid to rest on his young shoulders. Some might call him a fool but that was the type of guy she found herself sympathetic to. Was the same not said about Kisuke and even herself?

But that was the furthest thing from his mind, as the berry lay prostrate on the joined, his screams echoing out and into the sky. It was a painful sound to bear but she felt it was the least she could do as he screamed his frustrations to a world that expected so much of him. With quiet eyes she remained as a shadow, quiet and yet never wavering. Always there just as she would now. What was there to say as the sight of the young Kuchiki burned into their memories. Her body motionless, blood staining the dirt and grass around her. The roar of the triumphant Quincy before it fell as the blade of the one who now huddled on the ground. Yoruichi closed her eyes for a long moment before opening them again. Time was of the essence and the attack on the Seireitei wouldn't stop just because one of its protectors had lost a piece of himself.
