Blood is thicker than Water

*Rizu watches her mother and her chin quivers as she gently takes her hand.* M-mama... *She squeezes Namine's hand gently, looking into her eyes with concern.*

"I look Rizu?" I smile gently and place my hand on your cheek gently "Hi sweety" You sence my aura is still caotic but its faint..very faint and so is my voice.

*Tears run down her face and she looks down at her mother, smiling softly.* M-mama...hi...I thought you were...I thought...

I smile faintly "i am..sort of my dear.. i dont have much longer..lillith was sustaining my life and with her gone..."

*Rizu's eyes widen as Namine speaks and she shakes her head.* N-no...but I...all these years...I need you, mama...we could be a family again...please...

I shake my head " this is how it must be rizu. tell me of al the lessons you have learned from your father and i..what..what was the most important one?" i look at you with kind and warm eyes.

Koga puts his hands behind his head as he lays there on the ground.
"Standing would be a bad choice considering there's two Captains and a Lieutenant by me."
Koga thinks to himself.
Koga then begins to remember his own parents,the parents he rarely saw as he grew up.
"I think I know what I must do."
Koga continues to think to himself.

*Rizu's chin quivers and she closes her eyes, pausing a long moment before speaking.* I...I can't mama... *She opens her eyes again, seeing how Namine looks at her and whispers.* That I can't give up...I'm...I just...

I smile "never give up and never regret your life you live even if its a short one remember thoes in it and thoes that stood by you through everything..."I take your hand" I love you rizu and im sorry we never got to spend much time together..." coughs up blood. "..Honjo..You know what to do...its on the hospital roof top close it and end this nightmare..." I cough and look at rizu as honjo stays silent and nods before vanishing.

*Rizu squeezes her mother's hand gently and reaches out to wipe the blood from Namine's mouth with her sleeve.* I...I love you too mama...don't be sorry, please. We're here together now...

I see a large beam of light and sense Honjo's spiritual energy falling,literal and his body itself.
"How nice...."
Koga thinks to himself as he looks at the beam.
Koga turns off his spirit gauntlet,having just enough energy to be able to move.
He grabs his zanpaktou and uses it as a cane for a minute before unsheathing it.

I appear next to namine and rizu and grin without a word i place my hand on her head and she glows white. "A gift from your fathers passing"

*Rizu's eyes widen as Barbas appears and speaks.* ...My father's... *Her hands begin shaking and her face contorts in a panic.* Papa?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PAPA?! *She leaps to her feet and launches herself at Barbas, her hands aimed to strangle him.*

Koga sees Barbas then looks at Rizu.
"He didn't do anything. His spirit energy was falling rapidly as well as his psychical body implying he was blown off from something. I don't think Barbas is skilled enough to do an attack without a single ounce of spirt energy leaking."
Koga says to Rizu as he looks at Barbas now.
"So. What did you get out of this demon?"

I grin"that is for my knowledge." Namine screams "time for me to ko" Shimmers from existance"

"What an annoying Demon."
Koga murmurs to himself.
Koga opens a senkimon and has a hell butterfly fly by him.
"Lieutenant I want you to take a break. Take a week off. That's an order."
Koga walks through the senkimon and leaves.

*Rizu whips her head around as Namine screams.* Mama! *She
drops to her knees at her mother's side, clinging onto her hand with
both of hers, trying to steady her shaking. She turns her head to face
Koga, expressionless, and lowers her eyes.*

I cough up a white fluid.

*Rizu's eyes widen as she watches and she leans over Namine, resting her head gently against her shoulder.* Mama...

The light fades and you notice my aura has changed more calm and composed my reishi levels cmpleatly vanish and i become dressed in normal clothes my zanpakuto disintigrating

*Sensing the change in her mother's aura, Rizu lifts her head and watches as her spiritual pressure disappears.* What...? M-mama?

I open my eyes and sit up and shake my head. "ung where am i?" I look around in confusion.

*Rizu's chin quivers as Namine sits up and tears run down her cheek as a small smile forms on her lips.* Mama? You're...you're okay?!

I stand up dusting myself off and look around and look at the spot where you are but you know im not looking at you.. but through you i turn and walk away. :i swear i heard..no..shes dead..her father too.." I shake my head and leave the area heading back to karakura town.

*Rizu's face falls as her mother walks away and she scrambles to her feet.* N-no...mama? Mama?! *She screams for her mother a few more times before falling back down to the ground, sobbing.*
