"You know how I told you that we visited Soul Society, once?" Renji asked.

"Yeah. But…how did I manage to get there? Soul Society can only be entered by dead people."

"Exactly. You weren't dead that time. You were in a deep, intense coma for a while. Somehow, your soul was separated from your body and I managed to take you to Soul Society."

"Ah… Will I ever be able to visit Soul Society?"

"Maybe."

Renji grinned, mischievously.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't you dare think about killing me, Abarai punk!" Tatsuki warned.

"It's Mr. Abarai to you, Mrs. Abarai!" He retorted.

"You probably gave me too much sake the day you proposed to me."

"Now why would I do that?"

It was a beautiful morning. The birds chirped outside and the sunlight made dapples on the ground from the space the leaves provided.

"Urahara-sama invented a new gadget that allows living beings to enter Soul Society, but it can be used only once. He only made a few copies, but he gave me one as a wedding gift."

Tatsuki's eyes widened. A trip to Soul Society would be nice… Just to see everyone again…

Renji smiled. "Get ready. We're going today." He declared.

"You mean it?"

"Yeah."

Tatsuki smiled and laughed. It would be cool to see everyone, again. She had one of her dreams and that's how she remembered the trip to Soul Society. The very day Renji had proposed to her… She blushed at the thought and decided to prepare.

Later…

Tatsuki wore the black uniform that Renji gave her.

"It's been in the closet for 3 months. Besides, you should wear it so you blend in."

She grumbled and snatched it from him.

Renji took her hand and put a small pill on the palm of it.

"It's different from the ones Ichigo use. It's for those who aren't Shinigami."

Tatsuki raised an eyebrow and looked at him, puzzled. "So…I swallow it?" She asked. "That' what you do with a pill." He answered. "Don't get smart with me." She snapped. Renji smirked. Girls and their emotions…

After swallowing the strange pill (which tasted like ramen for some reason), her body was sprawled out on the floor. Her soul had been separated from her body.

"We can only stay for 3 hours in Soul Society, because the pill has limits. Urahara's working on it." Renji said.

"That's enough time to see everybody and go." She said, grinning.

Renji gazed at her. She was never a very optimistic person, and she wasn't negative, either. She had always been and is Tatsuki. He loved that about her. She wouldn't change if you told her to. She wouldn't change if you tried to force her to. She was one of the most consistent people he met, and he respected that.

Tatsuki looked at him. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" She asked. Renji blinked and smiled a moment later. "No. You look great." He answered. "Are you drunk? Sober up." She said. He knew she wasn't used to compliments.

Let's go to Soul Society…
