Shunsui groaned as he walked into his bedroom. It was midnight, and he had just gotten home from a party. He was hit with a horrific feeling that he forgot something, something extremely important. He began to think over his day as he tried to figure out what was causing the horrible feeling. He had slept till noon, and Nanao had woken him up with a bucket of freezing cold water, then forced him to finish all his paperwork before he was allowed to leave. He was on his way home when Lt. Rangiku, and Lt. Renji came up and talked him into going out for a drink with them.

He looked over at his bed and noticed the slim form, huddled up under the blankets, and the realization of what he had forgotten hit him like a ton of bricks. He changed into his normal sleeping clothes, then he slipped into the bed and went to hug the form, only to have her slap his hands and move away.

"My sweet Kiyomi, please. I'm sorry I forgot about your plan. I just caught up in so much stuff." The captain said quietly as he gently picked up one of the pitch black curls that rested on the woman's back. He bought the hair to his face and smiled as the fresh scent of coconut and sakura filled his nose. He put the strand of hair down, then he moved closer to the woman's back and moved to kiss her neck, "I can make it up to you though." He said suggestively.

Kiyomi rolled her eyes and rolled onto her back and looked at him. Her eyes were rimmed red, and he could see where tears had recently run down her beautiful, porcelain, skin, "Stuff? What stuff? You mean the fact that you went off with the others to drink and have fun? I know what you did. Nanao came by to give you some new papers she needed you to sign." The woman hissed.

Shunsui sighed and pulled her close against him, and he held her tightly as she weakly struggled. He felt his heart breaking as he felt the water of her tears hit his shoulder, and he listened as she began to sob in his arms, "Kiyomi, I'm so sorry. Please believe me. I love you, so much, but you know me. Time gets away from me." He said softly, "Remember, I let you talk me into giving up other women." He joked softly as he ran his hand through her hair, hoping to cheer her up a little, though it failed, as she just grabbed some of his chest hair and pulled on it, "Ow! Okay, I'll admit, I deserved that." He said with a smile.

"You're lucky I love you." Kiyomi said as she began to rub the tears off her cheeks, then she hugged him tightly.

Shunsui chuckled and hugged her back, "Why? What else could you do to a big, strong captain like me." He said jokingly, "I'm joking." He added on quickly when she gave him a threatening look, "To tell you the truth, I'd rather fight Kenpatchi Zaraki with nothing but a twig then fight you, even with banki." He said with a laugh, then he kissed her forehead.

"You better. I could punish you a lot more than any of those other captains." She said with a smile.

"So, can I make up for missing our date?" He said with a smirk as he began to kiss her neck.

"Nope." Kiyomi said simply as she turned over and got comfortable, "Try again tomorrow. You might have more luck then, but I somewhat doubt it." She said simply as a triumphant smirk spread over her perfect, full, pink lips.

Shunsui chuckled and put his hand her cheek to make her look at him, "What? Not even a good night kiss?" He asked softly as began to get lost in her beautiful, jade green eyes. This woman defiantly fit her name well; Kiyomi means 'Pure Beauty'. No matter how much he told her that, she would just blush and change the subject.

Kiyomi smiled and moved to kiss him, and he closed his eyes, waiting to feel her lips on his, only to fell her flick his nose and roll back over, "Not a chance." She said with a laugh. She smiled when he wrapped one of his arms around her waist and pulled her close against his chest. She soon felt him nuzzling his face into her hair. She sighed and rolled to face him again.

Shunsui smiled when she faced him. He smiled and lowered his face to her's, and he soon pressed his lips against her's. He tongue slipped out of his mouth and began to lick her lips, but she pulled away from him and cuddled closer to him. He chuckled and hugged her closer.

"Do you remember what today is?" She asked as she looked up at him. She laughed a little at the look on his face as he tried to remember what was so important, "Today is the anniversary of the first day we met." She said softly.

Shunsui chuckled, "You actually remember the date of the first day we met?" He asked as he looked at her.

"Of course. It's important. Do you even remember what happened?" She asked with a laugh.

"Somewhat." He said, then he sighed when she gave him a suspicious look, "Nope, not a second of it." He said with a sigh.

Kiyomi sighed, "I'll punish you later for that, but right now, I'm tired." She said as she hugged him.

Shunsui listened as her breaths slowed, then he kissed her head. He closed his eyes and let sleep take hold of him and pull him down. At first all he saw was black, then a blood curdling, spine tingling scream filled his head.
