Disclaimer: nope, I still don't own it

They were walking together through the forest that surrounded the Kuckiki manor. He led her to a small hill where they could watch the sunset. They sat in silence for a while, but then Yoruichi started talking about the captains of the Gotei 13 and how one day they too would be captains.

"Bya-chan, are we still gonna be friends once we become captains? I'm pretty sure I'll be a captain before you."

"Of course Yoruichi. Nothing can stop us from being friends."

"You mean it?"

"Yes. I will always care for you Yoruichi. No matter who or what stands in my way."

And after he said that, he didn't know how or why, but he was kissing Yoruichi. She had her hands in his long black hair, kissing him back timidly. And as soon as it started, it was over. Byakuya pulled back, looking thoroughly embarrassed. They walked back to the house in silence, and Yoruichi left after saying a quick goodbye.

"Do you remember now, Byakuya?"

"Yes I do. What I cannot understand is how I could forget something so..."

"Yes? So what?"

"Never mind."

"Never mind. Is that all you have to say?"

"No, but if I say what I want to, I know I will never feel the same way around you."

"Byakuya, I...I think I love you."

A/N: So what do you guys think? does byakuya love her back? they world may never know (until the next chapter)
