Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, the Tite does. I own my OC's and OOC's

Warnings: This is AU and has some spoilers along with some coarse language. I would have nixed the language but, Kenny wouldn't let me. There are also hints of Ikkaku/Isane in this chapter along with a lemon of Kenpachi/Unohana.

No Flames please, but constructive criticism is welcome.

Seven weeks after Ryu had entered the courtyard of her home, Unohana was patiently waiting for someone. She had tea ready and waited for the man who had showed he was so much more than a fighter to her.

She remembered, with amusement, the first time they kissed. She knew he drank a lot, and was surprised when his breath didn't smell of sake or smell foul. He seemed to catch that and explained the reason.

He had gotten tired of Yachiru's bad breath, and the only way to fix it was to give her a good example to go off of. Thus, as she watched him all the time, he had to brush his teeth. He did it grudgingly at first and then, after some aspects of his health improved, did it more frequently.

Yachiru's breath also improved dramatically, the smell of mint was much better than bad breath. She complained of tooth aches less often as well, which meant fewer trips to the dentist.

All in all an excellent change for the better as Yachiru hated the dentist with a passion. She had to be sedated every time they took her because otherwise she would either attempt to run away or, in more than one case, beat the poor man or woman to a pulp.

Unohana had just chuckled and then kissed him again, full on the lips. He had grinned and then pulled her close and deepened the kiss.

"Captain Unohana," Isane called from over the wall, "May I speak to you?"

"Of course," Unohana said and then took a sip of tea.

Isane appeared in front of her and then smiled, before speaking, "I was going to tell you that I was off."

Unohana smiled warmly and then, "Enjoy your evening. If he treats you badly let me know."

"Ikkaku hasn't treated me-!"

Unohana gave her an amused expression, amused that her Lieutenant had fallen for that one so easily.

"He just embarrasses you nearly to death doesn't he," Unohana said after taking another sip of tea.

Isane scratched her head as a blush crept across her cheeks, "He means well . . . he just . . . speaks without thinking."

Unohana smiled, "He'll learn."

Isane smiled and then nodded, "He's improving already. I better go; he's meeting me outside the café. I'll see you tomorrow Captain."

Unohana nodded and then watched as Isane left. Quietly she sipped her tea and then she felt him approach. His energy sent a thrill up her spine.

"May I join you?" Kenpachi asked as he walked into the courtyard.

Once again he was dressed well and had his hair down. He sent butterflies in all directions in her stomach and she said a polite yes before pouring him a cup of tea.

This was only the second time she had seen him dressed so well and looking so handsome.

He sat down next to her and accepted the tea she offered before stealing a kiss. She smiled and he noticed that her hair was braided in the back tonight. He simply smiled and scooted closer to her, carefully maneuvering himself as close to her as possible.

She didn't want to leave that embrace, and kissed him after she placed her empty teacup down next to the teapot. His was there as well.

His hand pulled her close as her arms wrapped around his neck.

She was on her back on the porch suddenly with his hand cradling her head as he kissed her even more deeply. There was fabric between them but the friction of their bodies rubbing against one another caused her to moan into his mouth.

His other hand wasn't exactly idle either, as it teased her through the fabric.

They broke apart for breath and just as he was about to bend down to take her mouth again, she pointed above her head.

"Second door, bedroom," she panted.

He grinned and soon they were there in that room. Quite suddenly he was nude and she was still dressed on the bed.

She tried to stand to undress herself when he pushed her down on the bed again. His fingers nimbly undid the belt and opened her shirt, exposing her to him. He worked her into a frenzy just undressing her and teasing her body with kisses and caresses.

He was then inside of her, rubbing that spot inside that made her nearly scream in ecstasy. His hard member thrust deeper and deeper into her as he watched her loose control.

My Retsu has a bit of a wild side in bed I see, Kenpachi thought to himself as he pleased her and himself with deep thrusts. He couldn't help but grin at that, enjoying the side of her personality that she never showed.

Unohana couldn't think as there was too much pleasure in her system blocking all trains of thought. The thoughts that did appear came out of her mouth in single syllable moans of pleasure.

When she came Kenpachi covered her mouth with his and she shrieked her pleasure into his mouth before collapsing and allowing him to finish with her.

He was a little more dignified as he thrust the last few times and growled deeply when he came, his jaws wrapped around her shoulder.

She felt his hot semen spread inside of her and waited out the end of his orgasm. When he was spent he lay next to her on the bed and pulled her close. There was a content smile on her features as she fell asleep against his shoulder. He grinned and then fell to sleep next to her.

Unohana woke first the next morning and instantly noticed that her body hurt. It wasn't too painful, rather pleasant actually. Just her shoulder hurt painfully and she touched it and got a shock.

She'd been bitten by her lover. A perfect imprint of his teeth adorned the flesh on her right shoulder. She felt his energy in the bite as well, it marked her as his. She didn't care though, in fact it made her happy, happy that he thought so well of her.

Her stirring woke him and he glanced down at her with half lidded eyes, "Mornin'."

"Morning," Unohana whispered and cuddled closer to him, a warm feeling entered her as he wrapped his arms around her, "Did you sleep well?"

Kenpachi smiled, a genuine smile, then whispered, "Yes. I hope to sleep well for many more nights with you as well. I had meant to propose before but I suppose this will work even better. Retsu Unohana, will you be my wife?"

Unohana blinked and then nodded before planting a kiss right on Kenpachi's lips.

I'm the luckiest bastard in the world, Kenpachi thought as he kissed Unohana. Then after the kiss broke, "I love you Retsu."

"I love you, too, Kenpachi," Unohana purred from his strong embrace.
