Yokushitsu Jikoku

(bath time)

Jyuushiro couldn't believe how well their lunchdate had gone. Well, technically, it didn't really go well and they never got to even eat the food he had made but none of that even matter now. In fact, nothing in all of Soul Society mattered to him at this moment. All that mattered was that Soifon was lying naked in his arms while in his bathtub and he was going to cherish this moment for the rest of his life.

Speaking of a naked Soifon, he wondered how well she was doing.

Soifon was the type of person who keep her distance from human interaction and was probably feeling very uncomfortable lying naked in his arms right now.

As for him, he was ecstatic, especially his southern region. Jyuushiro just wanted to make love to her right then and there but knew she beat the crap out of him if he tried, or worse, kill him. Still, he was quite enjoying himself.

"So how's your ankle?" he asked, trying to detour his thoughts away from his southern region.

"Its fine", she replied meekly.

"You okay?" he asked, worried.

"Yes, I'm fine", she replied rather quickly then added. "Why do you ask?"

"You just seem a little uncomfortable is all", he replied.

"Really?" she asked. "I didn't think—"

"Listen Soifon, if it really makes you uncomfortable to be naked in a tub with me then I can get out and wash in the sink", he said.

"Oh no!" Soifon said as she turned around and faced him. "I want you to stay. I really like being here with you, it's just . . ."

"It's just what?" Jyuushiro lifted her chin in his hands.

"I can't believe I'm about to ask you this", Soifon blushed. "But, could I . . . touch your hair?" she asked.

"Is that all?" Jyuushiro chuckled. "You didn't have to ask. You could have touched it if you wanted to". You can touch any part of me any time you want.

"Okay", she giggled a little then reached his hands up into his long white hair.

The first thing Soifon noticed when she touched his hair was how soft it was. It was almost as soft as her hair, maybe even softer.

The second thing she noticed was that it smelled of lilac. She thought it suited him. He was so relaxing to be around so why shouldn't his hair be? But what really got her was how silky and smooth his hair was. It felt like heaven and she found herself becoming entranced by it.

"So, I take it you like my hair?" he asked.

"It's lovely", she swooned, not really paying him any mind.

"So is yours", he cooed in her ear.

"What?" she looked at him.

"Well, I figured, since you were touching mine, you wouldn't mind me touching yours", he said. "You don't mind do you?" he asked.

"You really think my hair is lovely?" she blushed, rubbing her hair.

"Yes, I do", he smiled.

"But yours is way better than mine. It's so soft and smooth and silky and it smells like lilac. My hair is nothing like yours. Not anywhere close to it", she sighed.

"Well, thank you", he grinned. "But just because your hair isn't like mine doesn't mean it's not great", he pulled her close to him.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes really", he smiled at her. "Tell you what, how about I wash your hair with the shampoo I used? So that way it can be as soft and smooth and lilac scented just like mine", he suggested.

"Oh really?!" she jumped for joy, causing water to splash everywhere. "You'd do that?" she asked.

"For you, I'd do anything", he replied and kissed her on the cheek.

Soifon couldn't help but blush and giggle like a school girl. Just the simplest of touches from Jyuushiro could bring about her girly side, a side she never knew she had.

"So where do you keep the shampoo?" she asked.

"On the top shelve above the sink, to your right", he answered her.

"Okay", she hopped out of the tub and ran over to the shelves above his sink.

Jyuushiro knew it was wrong and perverted but he just couldn't help getting turned on by her naked body running across his bathroom and staring at her ass.

"Are you staring at my butt?" she turned and grinned at him before turning back around, reaching to the top shelf for the shampoo.

"Uh . . . no", Jyuushiro blushed, embarrassed.

Soifon just giggled even more at how cute Jyuushiro looked when he blushed. She was just so amazed that a woman like her could make a man like him blush the way that she did.

Soifon was desperately trying to reach the top shelf and almost fell when two strong hands hugged her hips. Then one of those strong hands reached up and grabbed the shampoo bottle off the top shelf. Turned out she wasn't even reaching for the shampoo bottle.

"I saw you struggling and I thought you could use some assistance", he smiled down at her.

"Oh. Thank you", she blushed then she turned to him and asked, "If that's the shampoo bottle, then what's in the brown bottle beside it?"

"Oh that?" he pulled down the bottle she was talking about. "Hmmm . . . this is a potion for youth, made with water from the fountain of youth", he smiled.

"Really?" she beamed up at him.

"No", he chuckled then Soifon playfully but still with some force, elbowed him in the abdomen. "Oww. What was that for?" he asked.

"That was for toying with me", she replied.

"Trust me, I have yet to really toy with you", he wriggled his eyebrows at her.

Soifon turned bright red and quickly looked down but forgot they both were naked and saw his manhood and turned even more red.

"Something wrong?" he asked, knowing full well what was wrong.

"Oh nothing", she replied rather quickly. "So, what is really in that bottle?" she changed the subject.

"Just massage oil", he replied oh-so-casually.

"Oh", she blushed again.

"Don't worry, I promised to keep my hands to myself and hands to myself I shall keep. But if you want, I don't mind giving you a massage", he cooed in her ear.

Soifon just giggled again at how his breath tickled her neck but the thought of him touching her with massage oil did sound appealing.

"Maybe later", she smiled at him.

"Okay", he placed the massage oil back on the top shelf then lifted Soifon over his shoulder and made his way back to the tub.

"You know, I can walk", she said.

"You can? I hadn't noticed", he smiled sarcastically.

"Ha ha, funny", she replied. Nice tush she thought as she looked down at his butt.

"Thank you", he grinned. "Yours isn't half bad as well", he added.

"Uh . . . you heard what I said?" she asked.

"I wouldn't have answered if I didn't", he replied.

"Oh", was all she could say.

Once back in the tub, Soifon lay back down in Jyuushiro's lap as he applied the shampoo to her hair and began scrubbing it.

"After this, you can do my hair", Jyuushiro said.

"Okay", Soifon replied.

After Jyuushiro was done rinsing and drying her hair, they switched places and Jyuushiro lay in her lap while Soifon applied the shampoo and began scrubbing his hair.

"How is that? Not too rough is it?", she asked.

"Personally, I like it a little rough", he grinned at her.

"Oh really?" she quirked an eyebrow upward. "Well maybe I can give you a massage a little later then", she whispered in his ear.

Jyuushiro felt shivers surge up and down his spine, while his groin did summersaults.

"Well, would you like me to?" she asked.

"Uh . . . sure . . . that sounds great", Jyuushiro stuttered as he tried to regain his composure and not let his mind wonder south.

"Something the matter?" Soifon smirked.

"No", Jyuushiro replied.

"Okay", she said, knowing full well what was wrong. She just thought it cute how she could make this man uneasy.

Jyuushiro had to watch himself or he was going to take Soifon in his arms right now and make love to her on the spot. If only she weren't so damn irresistible, but then again, he did love a challenge and keeping himself from taking her right now was definitely a challenge.

After she finished rinsing his hair, they both got out of the tub to towel off.

"Don't you have any spare towels lying around? You know, for when you have guests?" she asked.

"No. I don't usually have guests over. At least ones I bathe with", he winked at her.

Soifon just blushed and turned around so he couldn't see it, which left her backside completely exposed for him to see.

She really did have a nice bum. What he would do if he ever got to touch . . . whoa, whoa Jyuushiro. Better keep those thoughts to yourself before you do something you'll regret.

"What?" she cocked her head to one side, looking up at him.

Jyuushiro thought she looked both cute and sexy right at this moment. Soifon just didn't realize how much of a turn on she was for him. It didn't matter what she did or what she said, he was just turned on.

Okay Jyuushiro, think of something that has nothing to do with Soifon. Oh! I was suppose to be looking for towels.

"Well, I only have one towel at the moment", he looked at Soifon. "I guess I have some laundry to do this weekend. So, do you want to share or do want me to see if Kiyone and Sentaro have washed any other towels?" he asked.

"That's okay. We can share", she smiled, taking the towel from his hands and wrapping it around the both of them.

Jyuushiro really had to focus his mind on something else but his southern region was getting the best of him as his manhood went hard.

Soifon's face turned real red right at that moment. And it wasn't because of how close they were but the fact that she could feel something hard pressing against her belly.

Soifon wondered what was it about her that turned Jyuushiro on so much.

Before she could even contemplate what her answer to her question could be, Jyuushiro kissed her deeply on the lips.

Soifon was so stunned she didn't really know whether to push him away or to kiss him back. Fortunately for Jyuushiro, her mind said yes and her body followed suit.

Soifon lifted her herself so that she was on her tippy toes and wrapped her arms around Jyuushiro's shoulders. Then Jyuushiro slid his hands down her back and grabbed her butt and gave it a squeeze, causing Soifon to moan into his mouth.

As soon as she had moaned, Jyuushiro slipped his tongue into her mouth, while his hands explored every part of her lower body.

Soifon was very taken aback and very turned on by this.

Her mind seemed to let go of her mental restraints as her hands made their way into Jyuushiro's hair, while her legs wrapped around his waist, as her tongue pushed its way into his mouth.

Jyuushiro was very surprised by her actions but turned on nonetheless.

Jyuushiro began to stumble across the bathroom floor into his bedroom and then gently laid Soifon down on his bed.

Soifon knew she needed to stop this before it went too far but she just couldn't seem to stop herself from kissing him and touching him. What was it about Jyuushiro Ukitake that drove her insane?

While Soifon was trying to regain control of her body, Jyuushiro did it for her and pinned her wrist down on the bed beside her head.

"What?" she breathed.

"I'm sorry", Jyuushiro panted in reply. "I didn't mean to get carried away."

"Oh no", Soifon blushed. "You were fine. In fact, that kiss was amazing. You were amazing. Everything you do is amazing. I would love it if you could kiss me again", she stared up into his warm chocolatey brown eyes.

"Are you sure? I may not be able to stop this time", he looked down into her charcoal grey eyes.

Soifon knew that if she were to let him kiss her again, things could heat up rather quickly between them and there would be no way either one of them could stop it. But instead of listening to her head, Soifon listened to her hormones and kissed Jyuushiro very heatedly and passionately on the lips.

Jyuushiro thought she would say no, that it was too much of a risk but instead she kissed rather heatedly and took his breath away.

"Soifon . . .?" he mumbled into her mouth.

"I know, I know", she said. "We need to stop but I can't. I'm just so drawn to you Jyuushiro and all I want to do is take you right here, right now".

"I know you do but my dear sweet Soifon", he stood then sat down beside her. "I feel we should wait and get to know each other before we have sex. Besides, it's bad karma to sleep together on the first date", he smiled at her.

Soifon didn't know how to process this information and didn't know whether to feel rejected and hurt or relieved.

"I'm not saying I don't want to ever sleep with you . . . it's just . . ." he cupped her face in his hands. "It's just I want this relationship to work, I want us to work. I don't want just some fling. Soifon", he moved his hands to her hips and pulled her into his lap. "I want to fall in love with you, all of you, every last part of you. And Soifon, I want you to fall in love with me as well", he finished.

"Oh Jyuushiro", was all Soifon could manage to get out as tears began to well in her eyes.

"Did I say something I shouldn—"

"No", she kissed him gently on the lips. "It was beautiful . . . you're beautiful", she cupped his face in her hands and his kissed him lovingly on the lips.

After they blow dried each other's hair and got dressed, Jyuushiro led Soifon outside behind his living quarters to his private and secret garden, where they sat and waited for the rain to stop.

"Jyuushiro?"

"Yes Soifon dear?" he smiled at her.

Soifon just had to giggle at how cute Jyuushiro looked at the moment.

"If it's not too much trouble, could I spend the night with you?" she asked.

"Of course you can Soifon dear", he replied.

That night, Soifon sleep soundly and warmly in the arms of her new boyfriend, Jyuushiro Ukitake. And for the first time in a long, she had no nightmares about the ex-captain that broke her heart but sweet dreams about the man who was so loving and healing her heart.

Well, that was the end. So, how did you like this chapter?

No, they did not sleep together. As Jyuushiro stated, sleeping together on the first date brings bad karma. Here's what happens in the next chapter.

"So Jyuushiro . . .", Shunsui asks, getting right to the point. "How was your date?"

"Date?" Kenpachi asked. "You had a date? With whom?"

"Yeah, who was it?" both Renji and Ichigo asked in unison.

"It was Soifon-taicho", Toushiro answered for the older white haired captain.

. . .

"So Soifon, how was your date with Jyuushiro?" Rangiku asked.

"You went on a date with Ukitake-taicho?" Retsu questioned.

"Really?" Rukia looked surprised.

"When?" Tatsuki piped in.

"Yesterday, during lunch", Nanao answered the squad two captain.

Well, that's all you get for now. Bye!
