Again I see you standing there, watching me
The setting sun caused many great vibrant colors to loiter the sky, each one hazing just over the other. Ichigo sighed as he sat atop one of Soul Society's many cliffs, his attention casted upon the lively society below. So much had happened in the past few months. So much had been lost and recieved. Although his experience was both frightening and deadly, Ichigo found himself torn between staying in Soul Society, or leaving for good, never to return. It didn't sit well with him, but he had no choice. This was the last day he would spend there. The beginning of the day had started with a huge going away party, and then tears were shed, followed by hugs and blessings. And throughout the entire day, Ichigo only wanted to spend his time with one woman. She hadn't been at the earlier festivities, and so he left and secluded himself on one of the high cliffs overlooking the town, where he sat now. His brows furrowed as the golden eye'd, dark skin beauty came to his thoughts once again. Had he even stopped thinking about her? No. She was like a beautiful plague. She was always with him, training him, teaching him things. And truthfully, he enjoyed the time they spent together. He always had enjoyed her company, above all and everything else. A light breeze blew by, rustling the grass and trees. Ichigo heard soft breathing from behind him. He turned to see his beloved Yoruichi leaning against one of the tall oak trees, her attention fully on him.
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly
He smiled to her, her eyes seeming to go straight through him as his brown orbs met her golden ones. He felt his heart jump slightly as her gaze never wavered. Feeling and surpressing a blush, he nodded to her, signaling for her to come and sit beside him. Her graceful form slowly made its way towards him, her hips swaying slightly. Ichigo always made a note of how well she kept her elegance, despite her slightly pervertedness towards him. But, of course, he couldn't complain when such a beautiful woman flashed him. She certainly wasn't an eye sore. She smiled to him as she sat down, her long purple hair flowing about her, her slightly long bangs consealing the sides of her face and part of her eyes. Ichigo had to swallow hard as his pulse began to beat faster, he knew he couldn't keep up the silence. It was killing him. And with her eyes boring into his, it was starting to become unbearable.
"Your leaving soon, aren't you?" Her voice was low, soft, and vulnerable. Her attention turned towards the setting sun, her hair falling more so he couldn't see her eyes.
"Yeah, in a little while."
Inviting me to get close to you
Yoruichi subconsciously moved closer to him, their thighs touching. Ichigo noticed this, and turned his head towards her. She was leaning his way, almost asking him to put his arm around her. But she didn't say anything. Her mood covered by the silence. Another breeze blew by, causing her bangs to sway to the side. Ichigo felt something inside him break as he saw the glistening tears on her beautiful, smoot dark skinned cheeks.
"For good?" She asked again, bringing her slinder hand up to whipe away unwanted tears. She still didn't turn to look at him, but her body seemed to lean more his way. With a small, sad smile, Ichigo lifted his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her to his chest. She didn't resist, more tears falling from her eyes. So much emotion for him, and yet he was showing none for her.
"Possibly." Was his reply, his attention turned back to the sun set. For several minutes, they remained in a calm silence, her head pressed into his neck. She inhaled, exhaling shakily. Ichigo closed his eyes, breathing in her scent, trying his best to memorize it.
Can't help myself, Theres a fasciantion in the air
She nuzzled his neck slightly, causing him to turn his head down towards her. He took a few moments watching her, the wind blowing more. She could feel his eyes on her, causing a small, subtle smile to appear on her slightly wet lips. Ichigo felt the urge to kiss them, but surpressed it as he did the rest of his feelings about the goddess in his arms.
"Will I ever see you again?" With that, she pulled back, looking him directly in the eyes. He searched hers, hunting for an explanation as to why she was being so open with her feelings, rather than hiding behind her ego. With a muffled sigh, he pulled her back into his arms, his eyes downcasting, tears burning to be let out.
"Of course." He lied, stroking her back softly. Yoruichi knew he was lying, she could hear the hesitation in his voice, and she could hear the beating of his passionate heart. She pulled back again, her gaze penetrating his own.
"Don't lie to me." She spoke firmly, her eyes narrowing, never losing the emotion they held. Ichigo inhaled again, his eyes lost in her own.
I try to fight this strong sensation
He wanted to grab her, hold her, and never let go, but couldn't. He was going to leave later that night, he had too. Even if he couldn't return to Soul Society, even if...
"I want the truth damnit!" Yoruichi's voice raised in volume, causing him to jump slightly.
"Yoruichi..." She turned her eyes from his, looking down at the grass. He reached out to her, his hand coming into contact with her own.
But there's no chance to escape from this temptation
He intertwined their fingers, immediately pulling her to him. She gasped in surprise, her head landing on his chest as he pulled her in between his legs, embracing her fiercly as he wrapped his other arm around her small waist. Yoruichi didn't know what to do by this sudden gesture, so she remained still.
"I'm sorry Yoruichi. I'd ask you to leave with me...but I know you can't." Ichigo spoke softly, his voice taking on a tone she'd never heard, a saddened, passionate tone. "If I could break you out of this place, and ignore all the rules, I'd do so in a heart beat, and you know it." He stated, squeezing her hand and waist.
Feels like I've known you before, Repeating phrases
"I know.." She managed to get out, her body shaking from the heavy sobbing she had been doing. "I just...hate that we got so close, you know?" He nodded slightly, knowing what she meant. If they hadn't formed such a close relationship, neither of them would be feeling such things. They wouldn't be going through such an emotionally distrought burden now.
"But I wouldn't change a thing. I'm glad to have met and spent so much time with you. I don't regret any of it Yoruichi. And if I had to relive this all over again, the only thing I would change is not doing something I should have done on our final day of training."
"Whats that?" Yoruichi whispered, pulling back slightly to look up into his eyes.
But I yearn for something more
Ichigo leaned down slowly, his lips dangerously close to her own. She felt her breath hitch, her heart pounding in her chest. This closeness was causing her to lose her ability to form a coherent thought. The only thing that ran through her mind was..
"Not kissing you." He whispered, his lips coming into contact with her own. Yoruichi immediately wrapped her slinder arms around his neck, her eyes closing with his. The kiss deepened when Ichigo's other arm slid around her back, pulling her against him so there was no space between them. Tears streamed down her face, her mouth refusing to break away from his as her lips parted to allow his seeking tongue entry. Both knew this feeling that they had, they shouldn't be feeling. He was a ryoka, and she was from a line of extremely talented nobles. This kind of attraction wasn't completely forbidden, but it was highly unwelcomed in the Soul Society. Yoruichi moaned softly into his mouth, pressing harder to him, doing her best to cherish and make the moment last as long as it possibly could. She had no intent of letting the kiss end anytime soon, and neither did Ichigo. The moment was too perfect. The two had been secretly wanting to kiss each other for so long, the longing becoming painful.
I know I can't stay by your side forever
Pulling back slowly, Ichigo smiled to her, bring his hands up to wipe away her tears. Yoruichi couldn't help but smile back, leaning into him. He quickly turned her in his arms so her back was pressed against his chest. He wrapped his arms back around her waist from behind, encasing her against him. Her eyes held a happiness, a glimmer of hope as she placed her arms over his, leaning her head back against his shoulder. The sun had just disappeared below the horizon. Ichigo kissed her neck, laying his head on hers.
"I love you." Yoruichi whispered, her eyes half open as tears shimmered down across her cheeks. Ichigo felt his heart beat faster, lifting his head to look at her. She turned her head towards his, smiling despite the flowing tears.
"I love you too." He whispered back, claiming her lips in another passionate, desperate kiss.
But I know I won't forget your beauty, My Black Diamond
He pulled back, looking over her expression, admiring her beauty. He slowly stood, pulling her up with him. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. He held her close, not wanting to let go. They stood there, wrapped in each others arms for several minutes, not saying a word. They'd said all they needed to. Ichigo reluctantly pulled back and gave her a long, deep, passionate kiss once more.
"I promise, I will see you again Yoruichi..even if your confined to this place, I'll come back for you." With one last look at her, he let her go, stepping back, still holding her hands in his. He let his eyes take in her volupuious form, admiring the way her long purple hair brought out her enticing golden eyes. He loved the way her tight black clothes hugged her curves, she truly was a goddess; an angel sent to show him what true love was like. Squeezing her hands, he finally let them go, and in a flash, he was gone. Yoruichi stood there, opening her hand to find a small pendant. Smiling, she held the pendant against her chest, knowing that someday he would be back. And until that day, she would continue to wait, forever.
