Okay! So, heres the sequel to Against Their Will! Hope you enjoy it! And I don't own Bleach. Aw yes, and just a warning, Large amounts of Kenpachi torture in this story. He hates me for it...

Retsu was outside, looking at the cherry trees. It was a beautiful day. A strong pair of arms wrapped around her suddenly, startling her.

"Boo." Kenpachi said, head on her shoulder.

"Don't do that!"

"But it's fun to scare you."

"You aren't very nice." Retsu replied, smiling. "Come on." She dragged Kenpachi to the nearest tree, making him sit down.

"Hey woman, you're not supposed to abuse me."

"I'm not abusing you, merely making you sit down with force." She said, also sitting down. Kenpachi again wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on hers.

"All the same, I think it's abuse."

"OK." Restu said, leaning back. This earned a chuckle from Kenpachi, which came more often nowadays.

"So?"

"So what?"

"So what shall we do today? I don't have anything to do and you don't."

"And just how do you know hat?" Retsu countered a smile still on her face.

"Let's just say I'm psychic."

"Uh-huh. Well, you're right. So let's sit under the tree and enjoy the day. I have to back to work in four hours."

"Oh, that sounds good, I guess."

"You guess? Do you ever just sit down and enjoy the day?"

"No."

"You're hopeless!"

XXXXX Next Day XXXXXX

Shunsui and Jyuushiro were going to see Kenpachi. When they got there, they found him injured.

"Kenpachi! You're hurt! We better go to the 4th Division!"

"I'm not going! This in nothing."

"That's a pretty bad cut Kenpachi." They were right, it was a long gash running down his arm, fairly deep.

"Do I look like some pansy that goes to the 4th for some scratch? Besides, it's Retsu's day off."

"Don't make us."

"Don't make you what? Wait. Don't you dare!"

Retsu was outside, enjoying her day off. Someone was yelling and she looked over to see a frightful sight.

Shunsui and Jyuushiro were dragging a swearing, struggling Kenpachi, wrapped up in something that looked like bandages.

"I'm not going damn it!"

"Kenpachi! What happened?"

"He's hurt." Shunsui explained.

Retsu had finished bandaging Kenpachi up. She had found numerous other cuts on him. He had complained and swore the entire time.

"You know Kenpachi, you usually leave the 4th too early."

"No I don't! I'm no sissy! I don't need to stay."

"I don't care what you think, you are not a healer. Your wounds need time to heal properly."

"They do!"

"No, they don't. You're just damaging yourself! You could reopen them and cause yourself more trouble!"

"They always heal fine!"

"How do you know?!"

"I just know!"

"No you don't!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Retsu?"

"WHAT!" she screamed, frustrated.

"Will you marry me?"

"What?! Did you just ask me to marry you? You don't even have a ring!"

"Yes, I do." Kenpachi said, while rummaging around in his pocket. "Here." He handed her a small box.

She took it, and, opening it, found a beautiful diamond ring. "It's beautiful! You know Kenpachi, couples really shouldn't sleep with each other until AFTER they're married."

"Well, we're one step ahead." Retsu looked up at Kenpachi.

"Yes, or no?" Kenpachi stared at her, hopeful and worried.

Retsu put her hands on his face and kissed him.

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes." Retsu whispered, staring into his eyes (eye…), her face close to his, her hands still on his face. "Yes." She ran her hands down his face, tracing his face, then his lips, with her fingers. "I love you."

Before he could answer she kissed him again, tenderly. But the once tender kiss soon turned quite passionate…

"Retsu?" Kenpachi mumbled.

"Hmm?"

"What if someone walks in on us?"

Retsu was ABOUT to say, "Who cares?" But said instead, jokingly, "Let's go to my place."

"Why don't we wait until AFTER we're married?" Kenpachi said sarcastically, surprised Retsu would say something like that, even as a joke.

"Ok then, but let's go out to dinner to celebrate!"

"Sounds good to me."

Retsu smiled, her eyes filled with happiness and joy.

"Oh, and Retsu?"

"What?"

"I love you too." She again smiled as the two walked toward their destination, holding hands.

Not the conventional way of proposing is it? And two notes: 1 i know its probably not the way they get married in the Soul Society but Kenpachi in a tux was just too good to pass up. and 2: i forgot, darn. Well, anyway special thanks to all those reviewed for the last chapter of A.T.W. : arrancar125, Artificial Life Creator, Megan-taichou, Zoomy, Crimsion-Child, H-bomber, and lovelyreading007. And a very big thanks to... can you guess?... ebonyangel666! Because I was doubtful on making a sequel and she convinced me too and gave me great ideas, and not to mention helped a lot!
