Notes: Moria dealing with the loss of Mikan is in the aside called "The Fay."
Moria was quiet for several days and Sajin worked hard to take care of her and the new babies.
Kureno even helped as best he could.
Twenty weeks after the babies had been born Moria was back on her duties. Though, the duties she had to do were much easier than usual on Retsu's instruction.
Haruka and Himiko were precious little bundles as well. Every now and then one of them would get a hold of the other's ear in her mouth, or a tail a few times. They still slept most of the time, though when they were awake and not hungry their eyes were wide and they looked around. When that happened it was easy to get them to smile, and more often than not if you got one to giggle the other would giggle as well.
Kureno was a good big brother as well. He loved to help with them when he got the chance to.
It was one of those times that Kureno helped when he noticed something, "Mommy there's someone outside."
Moria looked out the window and cocked her head to the side a little bit. She didn't know the person. But, they were dressed as a soul reaper, so she assumed that he was alright and went out to greet him, though she brought Umigiri with her, just in case.
"Hello there," Moria said as she opened the door and walked out, "I'm sorry I've never met you before. Who are you?"
The man didn't even react to her and that caused her to become nervous. He just stared at her with cold eyes.
"The squad buildings are over that way. If you need to get to your squad then over there is where you need to go."
"I'm not lost," the man said in a deep voice. His eyes were colder now and he touched the hilt of a blade that hung to his right.
Moria frowned and touched the hilt of her own blade, "Kureno take Haruka and Himiko and hide!" she called, "Call daddy as well."
She heard Kureno moving and knew he was doing as he was told. She didn't raise her spiritual pressure too much, but just enough that she hoped someone would notice.
Then the man rushed her and she drew her blade and blocked his. For several long moments she and the man's blade clashed. He was skilled, she would give him that. But, his blade was already in shikai. If she released she might have the upper hand.
It was too close to her children though.
"Remember my name in death woman," the man said as he suddenly threw her to the ground and disarmed her, "My name is-!"
