Welcome to Gaia! ::

♕♛ Set had his daughter in his arms, and the world seemed to halt for a bit. He...had this. Two children with Yuzuki. God, it seemed so impossible about a year ago, back when they were still in the Soul Society. He never imagined telling her he was in love, nor did he imagine the events that led up to all of this. It all seemed impossible to him, yet here he was. Holding his daughter, Yuzuki holding his son. He wanted to see their eyes so badly. God he wanted to see.

His family. The Kuraishi. He looked at Yuzuki. She was the only one here who wasn't...that had to change. She may have liked her last name, but that wouldn't be the case for long. She was going to be a part of his family, not just his girlfriend....He needed plans.

"I think we should name our daughter....Akane." He spoke softly, looking to his girlfriend. "I know...I know it's sad but she was a great friend to us both, and I never want to forget her. Our memorial to her was undoubtedly destroyed, so this is the greatest honor I can give her...and give my daughter. It's a beautiful name no matter what." He spoke, gently stroking his daughters cheek.

♕♛ Set...he'd been planning for awhile. Yuzuki probably couldn't see it from their current location, but in their backyard, something special had spread across the area. In his pocket, the material of the small box and what lied inside constantly visited his mind. Boy was he nervous.

He held his son in his arms as they approached the door. He was not surprised Oka-san wasn't there. He asked her to leave them be just for the first day, because he wanted to show her something special. Hearing his girlfriend telling him to be careful when opening the door, he nodded to her. Set held his baby to his chest with one arm as the other opened the door. Of course there was Junga, who poked his head up instantly. "Junga. Stay down, boy." He'd say in Japanese, calming the dog.

As they got inside, Set noticed how dark it was, and noticed his son. Misaru had his eyes open just the slightest bit, but Set could see the gold clearly. It made him smile brightly. Still, he had no time to distract himself. Seeing his zanpakuto in the corner, he muttered something under his breath. Outside the Sky above them had changed, however Yuzuki wouldn't have seen that yet. "They have to be tired, Yuzuki. It's been a long day." That was true. There was a lot of paperwork to fill out at the hospital. Plus, Set had been a little late when it came to picking her up. He had to go get something first...

Turning the light on, he watched his son close his golden eyes. He wasn't used to such brightness yet. "Once we put them to bed, I want to show you something I've been working on, Yuzuki. I think you'll like it." Set spoke, going to his wife and pecking her lips, enjoying the familiar taste.

♕♛ The Sky outside...it was simply something else. The moon was gone, and what provided light was a circular glyph in the Sky, bearing the same shape as Yumaki's tattoo. It glowed a blue reserved for only the most beautiful of oceans, and constantly shed out gold reiatsu from the corners and edges, the center releasing purple in the shade of Yuzuki's reiatsu. The lights filled the sky, ever flowing. It reflected onto the ground in the backyard, making it all a mixture of the colors, while ice littered the area.

Set quickly left his gigai and gave it the mod soul when he was behind Yuzuki, and the body walked into the house. Meanwhile, the actual version of himself put his arms around Yuzuki from behind. Putting a platform of reishi underneath them by forcing his downwards, Set managed to lift both him and Yuzuki into the air. Not too high, but just enough so that she'd see exactly what the ice was littlered in the yard for.

Marry me, Yuzuki. Was spelt out in words of ice, twisted just right for every letter to fit the scene more. In his hands was the box that held the ring for Yuzuki. God did that ring take time. It took patience and the will to not spend the money he made. Despite the obvious words on the ground, he whispered into the ear of the girl he wanted as his fiance. "I want you to be my wife, Yuzuki. Marry me." He spoke, not wanting to add his reasonings or anything to it. She should have already known.

♕♛ Set could feel the tears drop onto his hand and he nearly cringed, however he still had hope. His eyes rested on the gem for a moment. A symbol of just how much he loved her. I'm not really big on gems or jewelry... He thought, his fingers on one hand rising to toy with the necklace he had given her awhile back. For you though Yuzuki, it doesn't matter in the end. Just as long as you're happy. You're the only one I want like this. The thoughts were affectionate, though in the silence of her decision they wouldn't be spoken.

She turned around in his arms, and he watched as her shocked stare quickly turned to a laugh. She leaned into him, and despite how he tried to stop it, a bright smile appeared. Just her looking so happy...it got to him. She always did. Her smiling was just an instant way to brighten his day, even in the most serious of situations.

Yuzuki, she looked up at him then, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her arms went around his neck, and just seeing her excitement, his heart bested fast and actually fluttered. She shouted yes, and Set smiled with the relief and joy of a man who just found his way out of a maze he'd been trapped in forever. His own golden eyes were glossed over, as if tears were about to leave his own self. Set had never in his life been so happy. When she stated her conditions, he didn't even care. "Surefineyescomehere." He spoke incredibly fast, leaning forwards and pressing his lips to hers, closing his eyes with that smile still there like a big goof. He pulled away, but only briefly. Set took the ring out of the box and merely let that box fall to the floor. He only slowed down to gently slide it on her ring finger, then peck her lips once more. Finally letting go of her, he laughed a bit.

"God, I love you so much Yuzuki. You, Akane, and Misaru." He unfortunately began to remember how his family went. Him and his sister...she died twice with him, then Noctis. He didn't know where his older brother was. If he was dead or not. He never knew his mother or father. Now...he was a father, and Yuzuki was his Fiance. He had two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. Twins. "This family...I have never been happier, you know that?" He asked a bit playfully, a single tear stemming out from each eye without even noticing. He actually cried out of happiness. Feeling the wetness drip down his cheeks, he'd blink a bit, a blush forming. He never liked crying in front of anyone. The last time he ever did it was... three years ago. The death of Akane. Never though had he done it out of happiness. "Heh... uhm, sorry Yuzuki." He spoke, moving his hand to try and wipe at his tears, still smiling.

♕♛ "I mean really....you're something else." He spoke after her words, then pressed his lips to hers.

~Time Skip~

"This is on YOU, now if you want to keep relations, you'll remove Quincy forces out of Japan all together. The Soul Society already has more units, we can control the situation there." Set spoke with a fire in his eyes. Last week when he was with his wife and children, there was a hollow presence and in the process of a Quincy purging the hollow, multiple arrows were fired and killed the hollow, however rather than the soul being unleashed into the cycle, it simply died and the scent attracted even more hollows that posed a threat to his family.
He killed them, but he needed it to not happen again. Head Captain Kuraishi, sir, the Quincy Territorial Co- Set gave the man a glare with his golden eyes. "That was a code made when there were hardly any shinigami in the world and they were desperate. That was before I arrived, and situations have changed. You have a choice. Abolish the code completely, try to remake your code and hope it gets passed, or keep your Quincy in Japan regardless and break off relations with the Soul Society."

The Quincy lead he talked to broke into a slight sweat, the group behind him muttering. "We wish to speak to Ms. Kobayashi." The man spoke, but Set shook his head. "Her position on this argument will not differ. The event last week threatened my family. Therefore it threatened the leadership of the Soul Society. This is your last chance." He spoke, and the Alpha Quincy sighed, writing down at the papers in front of him. We'll remove the military presence out of Japan. Cleansing will be left to the Soul Society." Set nodded, and wrote down on his own papers, recording the events. He smiled as he felt the pressure of Yuzuki and his children. It calmed him whenever he focused on it. He couldn't wait to go back home to them. It had been three months since he proposed. Their marriage would happen soon enough now.

♕♛ "You don't understand! What you're asking violates everything! Every code and regulation!" The man shouted at Set, who crossed his arms, glaring the man down. "I've had enough. Honestly, you know what this is slowly going to. The Quincy cannot purify hollows, only destroy them. Which attracts more. That endangers civilian lives, my families life." He spoke, still itching with the desire to draw his zanpakuto, don his mask and attack.

"So what do you expect us to do? Let you all do your purifying job when killing is so much faster?!" Set's eyes narrowed, and he slammed his hands on the table, making the entire crowd go into a frenzy. "You're playing with human lives! Innocents! The more you kill hollows, the more people you put in danger by attracting more. I'm not saying to put your spiritual power to waste, but to play a support role rather than one where you finish the enemy." One of the other Alpha Quincy spoke up then. "Head Captain Kuraishi, the Quincy are the dominant force in the fight against hollows. We have been for awhile now. If a few innocents must be...-" The man broke into a heavy sweat. His skin burning, mouth foaming, sweat dripping from his hair and staining his shirt. Set's spiritual pressure was being directed towards him. The crowd was silent. "Don't act high and mighty with me. You're killing innocents for a goal that is impossible. You're not the dominant race anymore. Eventually, you're going to kill hollows to the point that no more souls even exist in the society. Then where will you be? back to being the hollows scratching post. Learn that you're not above the rest of the world." The crows was in an absolute uproar now, and Set felt the pressure in his home. Without a word, he left the court and headed home, the Quincy he assaulted with pressure looking at where Set Once stood, as if he understood what Set had spoken of.

Arriving home, he could feel it. A hollow presence...no, stronger. Arrancar. s**t. That wasn't good at all. His fiancee and children...they were in danger. Set ran and burst through the door, grabbing his zanpakuto off of the wall and searching. He heard crying downstairs, shrieking and slamming. His golden eyes widened. Yuzuki.

Rushing down, he withdrew the sheathe of his nodachi and rushed downstairs, instantly taking the cribs of his children and moving them to the other side of the room before standing with his back to them, zanpakuto out, only now focusing on the scene. An arrancar and...Yuzuki?

Her pressure was different, and her face...she had on a mask. A bone one, shaped like a wolf. He didn't know what the hell to say at this point. He instead shook his head, and kept his eyes on the arrancar, his grip on the nodachi tightening. What the hell happened while he was out?

♕♛ Set watched as Yuzuki killed the arrancar, but her reiatsu was out of control. Where had he seen this before?

Noctis roared out at the top of his lungs, his mind breaking, bone spreading from his mask and around his body. Yumaki! Agghhhhh!!! He yelled out, stepping over to the young arrancar, his eyed wide. "I'm losing...your pressure...give me your pressure." He called out as calmly as he could, and Set did it, but then...what happened after that? He couldn't remember.

Set moved forwards, sticking his nodachi in the ground. His eyes focused on Yuzuki, and his vast amount of spiritual pressure stirred within him. "I'm not going to lose you. I don't care if something happens to me in return." He didn't know exactly what he was in for, but Set moved forwards and grabbed both of her arms. In that process, he poured his pressure into her and...he already felt drained. Set's reiatsu was very quickly filling Yuzuki's entire inner world and herself. So this is why he couldn't remember. He probably blacked out as a child.

"Come on...you've fought worse, baby. You can get through this." He spoke, care and exhaustion in his voice. "Our children need a mother. You know that...Mom's are tough." He smiled. He was scared though. It was a serious situation and Yuzuki could change. Then...he'd have to hurt her. He couldn't do that.

♕♛ Set laughed a bit as Yuzuki was freed. "Uhm, yeah, I think they just need umm... sleep and...sleep." He muttered, falling back onto the floor. He was fine though, just exhausted, his chest rising you and down as he dropped into an instant slumber.

~Two Months Later~

Set sighed a bit, blushing slightly. He didn't like wearing too much when it came to suits, so the tuxedo was a little odd. Still though, today it would be worth it. He'd be married to Yuzuki. Just that thought...hell, it made him happy. She was everything he wanted, and now what he needed to do was put his name next to hers...be able to call her his wife. "Seriously Noct, you don't have to sit here like I'm going to run out or something." Noctis...He'd been back finally. It was actually hilarious. Yuzuki had been home, and dressed in one of her...outfits. When the door opened she assumed it'd be Set as usual who entered. It wasn't. She sauntered out and peeked over the couch, only to find Noctis there rather than Set. It was comical the way she shrieked and ran away, locking herself in the room till Set came home. When he opened the door she'd covered herself in two jackets, a blanket, and God knows how many more clothes.

"Whatever. Time to go." He spoke, getting out and heading to the car. He handn't seen Yuzuki in a day. He believed it was Hitomi and Hideki getting her ready. Getting inside of his white Dodge Charger, he started the car, buckling himself in. He breathed, then got on his way.
