Miyabi sits and listens to Takashi. Her eyebrows go up when she hears that she was decived. She waits a long moment before she nods her head in acceptance. "Yes Takashi-taicho
. I would like to command again but this time I'll do better. Thank you sir." She stands and bows. She begins to leave as she thinks to herself.
"Miyabi wait!" Takashi called her back in wanting to finish discussing things. "I know it's alot to take in but remember the resolve you got afterwards. It was decitful but I didn't decide this on my own. When the idea came to me you were basically killing yourself, the principles we tried to teach you werent sticking and your body was degenerating. Even Byakuyas doctors couldnt figure out a way to save you. We needed to shock your system. Shinji, Kuchiki-san, Khi, everyone we all thought this would be best for you, to help you in the long run. There is something else... will you please stay, and forgive us for deciving you?"
Miyabi turns back to Takashi and gives him a peircing look. One she had gained since she had become an arancar. "I shall consider things. As it all stands now however you all are forgiven. until I find any such reason to revoke this forgivness that is." She bows slightly. "Will there be anything else Takashi-taicho?" Her personality had become colder. She was tired of letting her heart be played with. Tipped icey diamonds surrounded her heart. She gave up her thought of ever finding love and put this hard barrier up so even she could not break it.
"Miyabi there is more, please don't be impatient. You did ask me to explaine everything didn't you?" Takashi returned her cold stare.
Miyabi nods her head. "Yes I did. I appologize for being impatient." She bows her head a bit and sits upon a chair. "Please continue."
"Well I want you to know that after all this I am going to live in the human world. I am going to retire. I can no longer live with these rules and restraints of soul society. Esparda has my death in his plans and will likely send his soldiers after you and the others to get at me and make my heart weaker. I thought that by pushing everyone out i would be stronger if I did lose you, but as an Viazard this just took away from the power i had over my hollows. I have decided to hold everyone closer and not at a distance." Takashi held Miyabi's hand. "I have for so long fought what I had inside of me that I didnt want to risk losing you to Esparda. I needed you to be something you werent and had turned you into what I was. I beg your forgivenss." Takashi Grabed Miyabi and kissed her quickly and released her. "Know that I never stopped caring about you. If you still feel the same for me then when I leave I want you to come with me. If not I will leave Serietei to you, and all of soul society. You don't need to answer me now." Takashi leaves and heads for the training grounds to help shiro finish his training.
Miyabi blinks and gapes open mouthed after him. She trys to speak but cannot. She closes her mouth and bows to Byakuya. She turns and then quicksteps away to her room to think. Once there she begins to talk to her self out loud to let herself think. "He never stopped caring about me? No wonder he couldn't hold off for too long.. but.. oh god.. I don't know.." She sits upon her bed and tears up. "Damn it... I didn't want to cry for him ever again.." She sniffles and dives into her lpillow to hide her own tears from herself. She passes out for the night and when dawn's early light awakens her she makes her decision. she leaves for the trainijng grounds. She spots Shiro from a little ways away. She quicksteps the last few steps. "Hey! Where's your dad?"
"Oy mimi-san!" Shiro turns and walks over to her, open gashes in his forhead and arms are bleeding and he has very large bruse on his neck and a swolen eye. "He came here and gave me the workout of a lifetime. I wish I could be that powerful. He is a monster on another level completely. hehe. He went back to his office. He seemed a bit distracted, I was able to cut his left eye, not much but it left a small scar, didnt even cut his eye. wasnt enought to send him to the medics though. Why whats up?"Shiro sat down and began to bandage himself up.
Miyabi being concerned for Shiro goes to him and helps him get bandaged up with medicines. "Oh nothing too important. There. That should help and feel better." She examines his bruise. "Ouch that had to hurt. He got you with the hilt? Wow.. I guess he was distracted.." She stands. "Ok. I'll see you later!" She smiles a true smile for the first time in a while and waves good bye. Shiro had never seen her truely smile and she knew that.
"OH Mimi-san, he said if I see you to give you this, he said you would understand it!" Shiro tossed her a small bamboo reed with a felt foam stuffing. Shiro hadn't peeked but inside the black painted and polished box was a small white gold ring she had seen in memories. Wrapped around it was a note that read "I was entrusted with this by your father, it was your mothers, and I am not just giving it to you, if you accept then please wear this if not, then I have fulfilled my duty to your father. -Takashi Shinji".
Miyabi gasped. 'Mama's ring!' She looks up at Shiro slightly teary eyed. Her hands trembling a little she slides the ring upon her finger. 'What a way to ask Shinji..' she shakes her head a little. "Shiro take a look. This ring was my mother's.. Isn't it beautiful?" She sniffles slightly. She swallows hard.
"HOLLY HELL!" Shiro's eyes widen. "THAT THING IS HUGE! By the way what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Shiro asked still in shock of the size of the ring.
Miyabi blushes at is words. "You'll see. I must see Shinji first." She smiles and bows. "I'll see ya later!" She quicksteps to Shinji Takashi's office door. She knocks.
Shinji was caught off gaurd as he was asleep and his head hit the desk. "ow... Come in its open!" He called out as he fixed himself up. He shuffled the report papers which had piled up over the few weeks he had been back in office. The pile was as big as ever and the work getting done was less and less. "Oh Miyabi-san, what is it?" He looked at her a little confused.
Miyabi blushes slighty. "Well.." She walks in and kneels before him upon both her knees. "I belive you wanted an answer correct? well.. I'd love to go back to the human world with you." She takes his hands in her own. "I thought that my heart would be forever torn.. And in the future it may be the case.. but right now I.." She takes a breath trying to speak but cannot. She chokes upon some tears that wanted to come out. She clears her throat, but she chokes again. She puts her head down trying to find words.
"Hehahe, It's ok, I understand. Now, come here." He picks her up and holds her close. He looks deep into her eyes and then pokes her nose. "As soon as all of this is over we will celebrate properly, until then meet me in the hills outside the walls of sereitei. We will be awya from the courts and can spend alittle time alone for even a few hours." Takashi sat back down and began to look through some of his paperwork. He looked back up at Miyabi teasing as if she were too distracting. "We can't celebrate untill ALL this paperwork is done."
Miyabi smiles. "I could help you.. Look at the page you're working on. That's all easy." She points out things to him and the page was done in less than half a minute. Of course his teasing didn't help at all.. "But I gues if you don't want the help.." She gives him a look and smirks. "I guess the celebrations can wait."
Stunned at how fast she could complete the paperwork he thought he could sweet talk her into doing it all for him. "Wooooow Mi-chin, if you helped me I could be done in half an hour. That would really help alot. But if you feel you HAVE to leave I can't stop you. I would really appreciate it and be more than willing to make it up to you later, anything you want. It's your call." Takashi hoped she would take the bait and help him out.
Miyabi grins "Sweet talker. I'll help but you're gonna help me too. ok?" She smiles and sit in his lap before he could get away and giggles. She straitens the papre work out and sorts to make it easier upon herself. "The reports you can dictate to me and I'll write it all down as fast as you can talk." She begins upon some of the papers and fineshes the medium stack in about 10 minutes. She lets him up so he may pace if he wished. He dictaes things to her and tests her hand writing speeds but she keeps up. In half an hour they were done with all of the paper work that Shinji had let build up. "Ya know... When you first died and I took over I fineshed all the paper work and everthing that you hid in the drawers." She giggles slightly. "Lovely surprises I found doing that." She looks lovingly at him for the first time in a long time.
"Oh, what was it that you found?" Takashi looked at her a little curiously.
