I have way too much free time on my hands. I've updated like ten chapters throughout my fan fiction within the past five days. Crazy right?

"Must you walk around like that? Your dress is even shorter than Nemu's." He didn't know why he cared the slightest at the length of her dress, just because she wore high tights did not mean it made up for the fabric missing from her dress. When he gave her that haori, it fell at least to his ankles, so it had to drag when she wore it, now it barely covered her ass when she walked. "If you're in need of a new kimono, I have no problem with purchasing a new one, that actually fits."

"Oh come on, it is not that short." If she didn't think that one was as short as he did, did that mean she owned smaller ones. How embarrassing it would be to have a wife who walked around in a dress that barely met the tops of her thigh high stockings. Not only was it distracting, but he knew he wasn't the only one who noticed the length of the dress, or should he say, the lack of length. "Besides… I like this one, I've been wearing it for years."

He figured it probably fit properly once upon a time, and she didn't want to throw it out for sentimental reasons. That was fine and all, but the members of his lab staring at her absolutely was not! He knew there was going to be talk about this for a long time, even nasty rumors about him becoming soft. She had been there a week and a lot more experiments were being conducted swiftly with her assistance, he had nothing to complain about besides her wardrobe.

Almost all of her Kimono's were too short to be modest, and the ones that actually fit weren't at all flattering, yet this one was shortest of all. But that was why he pulled her aside in the first place, hopefully people would assume he got over heated in his many layers of clothing and took his captains haori off, and she stole it as soon as she got the chance. That was actually a pretty realistic scenario, even more than him physically taking it off of himself for her to wear.

She didn't say a word about him draping the fabric over her shoulders, but she didn't get a chance to either because he left immediately afterwards. She didn't hesitate on slipping her arms into it, and like his old one it was way to long for her. She wrapped her arms around herself and smiled, it was still warm and it smelled like him. As silly as it was she loved anything that reminded her of Mayuri, which is why she held on to her Kimono in the first place. She enjoyed people knowing that she belonged to her.

She was glad to be back in the soul society, she was sick of the human world. Sure it was exciting at first, but now it was incredibly dull. She did all the research she could have possibly did, and now she was bored. If she went back in about ten years, it would be like exploring a whole different world, but for now she preferred being by her husbands side. She finally felt like she could be a wife he was proud of, a wife he deserved. Rather than some snot nosed brat he got stuck with.

The excuse she gave for coming back was a bad one, she said she missed having someone to talk to who matched her intellectually, and he believed her. Or he didn't care enough to ask anything further. The truth was she missed him, and Nemu even though the girl barely ever wanted to spend time with her. That was another thing she needed to work on, what was the point of being a proper wife, if she couldn't be a proper mother to Nemu?

When she first left, she told herself she would return once she obtained her bankai, but even after that she was still not ready. Then she told herself once she grew into a full woman she would return than, that was another no. She never felt like she was quite yet good enough for him so she hid in the human world trying to better herself and not be a disappointment to her husband.

It wasn't until after the war did she decide to return, the last thing she needed was to get kidnapped and get in the way of things, She could defend herself, but she was no proper shimigami. Being a captains wife she already knew the policy on being kidnapped. If she wanted to stay alive, she would stay out of harms way. Mayuri would probably personally go out of his way to kill her for causing such trouble in the first place.

As for Nemu she had know idea what to do to get closer to her, she had a daughter and rather than calling her mother, or even by her name. It was "Miss Adellia, and lady Adellia." That was far to formal for a mother, daughter relationship. Even thought they were close in age she did have genes that came from her, which is why they had the same green eyes. She figured she could talk Mayuri into letting her take Nemu to the human world for a little while, that way he couldn't influence their relationship.

As much as she loved her husband, he could be very cruel and manipulative. She decided she needed to get back to work, but first she needed to adjust her clothing. She took off the kimono that was too short, and tied her Obi around the new haori so it fell past her knees rather than dragging behind her. She didn't realize Mayuri was in the doorway until he muttered something about modesty. "You don't look like yourself, are you I'll? Can I get you anything?"

Her hand shot up to his forehead to check his temperature but it was quickly slapped away. "I'm fine!" He picked up the file he came back for and stormed out of his office, she shook it off, it wasn't odd for him to act like that at all. Maybe he was just in one of his moods today.


I wasn't trying exactly to paint Mayuri as the jealous type, but he wouldn't he happy if half of his lab was distracted by the lack of dress of his wife. I have to work tomorrow… Wah! but I'm off Friday, Sunday and Monday, and as long as I have the time, I'll keep the updates coming.-Chesxca
