Sara's POV

December 31th arrived and my Taicho left with Shihoin-Taicho for the day. Yoruichi came to me the day before sliding to me that today was my Taicho's birthday. So she stole him for the day so I can prepare a surprise. I was in the kitchens preparing a nice dinner at the time. I've finished all the preparation, only thing left was food. I was making him some Mapo Tofu, I didn't know if he would like it, but I thought it was delicious.

''I'll make some rice for the side, if he thinks it's too hot.'' I said out loud.

''If who thinks it is to hot?'' Asked a voice behind me that I recognized right away.

''Urahara-Taicho!'' I exclaimed as I turned around to face him. ''Weren't you with Shihoin-Taicho?'' I asked him as I tried to hide the food.

''I was.'' He said with a thoughtful face. ''But she had something urgent to do, so...''

''O-oh! Well that is too bad.'' I said with a nervous chuckle as I turned to continue my cooking.

I felt his chest on my back, making my heart beat faster. He bent over my shoulder and took a sniff of my Mapo tofu.

''Mmm... It smells good, I would like to be the one eating it!'' He said with a joyful smile. He turned his face to me, making me blush terribly hard.

''You know, it's hard to work with you over my shoulder.'' I said, trying to be as cold I could.

''Yes, I know it might be challenging.'' He said with a chuckle. He put his mouth closer to my ear.

''You'll make a good wife one day, Tsukiyumi-san.'' He whispered kindly.

I felt my face burn up. I put down my wooden spoon down and turned towards my Taicho. I put my fists on my hips as I sighed loudly before pushing him towards the door.

''Get out! You are disturbing me!'' I shouted pushing out of the kitchens.

He laughed and turned to me.

''Yes! A good wife indeed!'' He said.

I looked at him as if he was crazy and closed the door.

I sighed and smiled. I was never complimented the sort and from Urahara, that was more I could dream of!

''No, don't be ridiculous, never would it happen!'' I said as I chased away my fantasies.

''What would never happen?'' Asked again Urahara's voice.

I turned around and saw my Taicho come in again.

''Can you stop disturbing me!'' I shouted with a smile.

''I am worried about you Tsukiyumi-san, you are talking to yourself.'' He said with a smirk.

Again, I was about to push him outside, but this time, he caught my wrists and pulled me closer to him.

''My dear Sara, why are you so brutal with me?'' He said faking a tear.

''Urahara-Taicho, please-'' I started but a smell caught my nose. I turned my head to see that my dinner was burning.

Urahara looked up and let me go. I rushed to my dinner and put some water on it.

''Too bad for the man who was to eat it...'' He calmly said. I clasped my fists. Tears came to my eyes.

''Yeah, that man was you!'' I shouted, angry. ''I was making all this for you!''

When I said that, he seemed surprised. I waited for an answer but it never came. I took off my apron and threw it on the ground.

I took my way to the door, but Urahara grabbed my wrist.

''Sara'' He whispered.

''Happy birthday'' I said angrily as I freed my wrist and left.

I ran through my division and left. I don't know where I was going, but I was going the most far possible from Urahara. What was his problem? He never acted like that before. I almost could swear he ruined my dinner on purpose. He said that it was too bad for the man who was going to eat it... Was he jealous? I slowed down and walked. What was he thinking?

''Whoa there, Sara-Chan, what are you doing here at this hour?'' Asked a familiar voice.

I looked up and saw that I was about to bump into Kyouraku-Taicho. His face became serious and he put his hands on my cheeks.

''Why are you crying?'' He asked me concerned.

I didn't answer and looked down.

''Come inside, we'll talk about it.'' He said as he pulled me by the shoulders.

I walked in the eight division with its Taicho.

He pulled me to his office, where I wasn't surprised to see some sake on the desk.

''Want some Sake?'' He asked me with a smile.

I shook my head in a no and I sat down on a cushion. Kyouraku sat infront of me and waited. Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, he took a guess.

''Is it Kisuke?'' he asked.

I nodded and he sighed loudly. He opened his arms and had a sad smile.

''Come here.'' He said.

I looked at him and gave in. I jumped in his arms and let Shunsui caressed my back. I wasn't crying anymore but he kept rock me like a child.

''I would never hurt you in any way Sara-Chan, if you were my third seat, I would promote you as fukutaicho and keep you close to me.'' He whispered in my ear. I didn't answer but looked up to make an eye contact. Shunsui pulled me away and put a finger under my chin. My heart was pounding, this man was always there for me, and he was always kind with me. He lost his smile and he bended over slowly and came closer to my face. We kept eye contact until I slowly close mine before his lips touched mine. The kiss was very gentle and soft; I wasn't expecting to be kiss so lightly by Kyouraku Shunsui. He slowly broke the kiss and I opened my eyes to see a kind smile grow on his lips as he brushed away my hair from my face. I had a slight blush and smiled too.

''You are so much prettier when you smile Sara-chan.'' He said as he whipped off the remaining tears on my cheek. I chuckled and smiled honestly grateful. He placed his right hand behind my head and I understood that he was hesitating to kiss me again, so I made the move. I put my own hand behind his head and pulled him to me. Giving another kiss, but different from the last. This kiss wasn't so soft and nice. It was more passionate, as if our feeling were two waves breaking in one another. He licked my lips and I moved away. Shunsui opened his eyes surprised and guilty.

''I'm sorry, I shouldn't have...'' He said but I put my finger on his lips.

''No, that's not the problem, I just...''' I felt my face turn red. ''It's just that I never done this before...'' I finished with a shy smile. Wich was a lie. I kissed Kisuke before, but I was so in the flow that I didn't really cared if I did it wrong.

His smirk grew to his ears.

''Well, in that case, I would gladly teach you.'' He said as his pulled me on his lap. His left arm wrapped itself around my waist and his right hand got behind my head and pulled me to his lips. I shiver ran through my spine when his tongue forced its way in my mouth. And the rest came from instinct; I wrapped my arms around his neck and I took a grip to his hair as his mouth left mine and down to my neck. I slightly moaned as he bit me.

''So that's how you like it, heh?'' He said with a slight chuckle. I didn't understand what he meant by that, but the nice Shunsui transformed into a very possessive, almost aggressive one. He took my arms and forced them behind my back and held my wrists with only one hand as he continued his way down to my breast area. He pushed down my upper uniform revealing one of my breasts. He pulled up my bra before sucking my nipple. I moan out of surprise. I couldn't do anything, he took over me completely. And honestly, I loved it. I felt tears run up my eyes squeezed my other breast. I couldn't help it, I moan loudly.

I heard a chuckle and he let go of my breasts to look in my eye.

''You are such a pervert Sara-chan.'' He said before nailing me to the floor. He brought my wrists over my head and kept them in one hand. But when he opened my upper uniform, we heard a knock and Lisa and Urahara came in.

''Shunsui have you seen-'' Started Urahara before his eyes widen as he saw me.

Lisa ran to her Taicho and pulled him away from me.

''W-wait!'' Shunsui tried to explain. Kisuke pulled me up and covered me up with his captain cape. ''It's not what you think'' Said Kyouraku.

''Really? Try to explain to me why was my third officer is under you?'' Snapped Kisuke.

''Taicho'' I whispered as I pulled on his sleeve.

''Don't worry Sara; I'll take care of this.'' He said to me.

''Nothing would have happen if you wouldn't have done your idiot self and make her cry as usual.'' Snapped Kyouraku back.

''And as usual, you came to her when she was vulnerable and took advantage?''

''Tacho!'' I said louder.

They were talking about me as if I was a simple animal.

''Sara, I'll-'' He started but I cut him off.

''Kyouraku-Taicho didn't take advantage of me, I wanted him to do-'' My voice died and I brought my hands to my mouth realizing what I was about to say. But I needed to say it. ''To do what he was doing...''

Urahara looked at me, obviously shocked. He looked away.

''Come on Sara, we are leaving.'' He ordered. I didn't even think about replying. I guess I crossed a line that I shouldn't have crossed. He passed infront of me and I dared to look a Kyouraku and he nodded.

''Sara!'' Called Kisuke. I ran to him without looking behind.

Kisuke POV

We were walking back towards our division without exaging a word. I was angry, but when Sara told me that she wanted Shunsui to do what he was doing, my heart shattered. Considering I was the one that she gave her first kiss to. When we arrived, she was about to walk to her room but I caught her arm.

''I still need to speak to you.'' I said coldly. I pulled her to my office where I closed the door, leaving the only light of the moon light up the room by the window.

''Taicho-'' She started with a small voice but I cut her off.

''What were you thinking?'' I asked as I pushed her in a wall. She opened and closed her mouth a few times before looking away.

''I-i d-don't know... I was angry with you and Kyouraku Taicho just came and comforted me and... Well, I wasn't really thinking...'' She tried to explain. Her voice was trembling.

''You know in what kind of trouble you'll be if someone discover this, don't you?'' I said as I put my hands each side of her head. ''You know that you'll have to give up being a Shinigami for this sort of relationship?''

''What about you and Yoruichi?'' She said suddenly. ''You dated not so long ago and you didn't need to give up your Shinigami powers for that.''

I opened my mouth to reply but... She knew about me and Yoruichi?

''And why would you care?'' She said as she tried to push me away.

I couldn't stand it anymore. I put my hand behind her head and crashed my lips on hers. At first, she tried to push me away, but she slowly gave in. I wrapped my left arm around her waist and pulled her gentle body to me. My other hand held her head to keep her in place. I licked her lips and she pushed me away.

''Why did you kiss me back then?'' I asked when I opened my eyes. I was still inches form her bright pink face.

''Are you talking about when you were controlled, I already told you...'' She tried to lie to me.

''Don't lie to me Sara, I've kissed some of my friends long ago, and that wasn't only a friendly kiss.'' I said. Her face lost her blush and she stared at me. A shiver ran through my spine.

''Urahara, I admire you, that's true, but I don't like you in that way.'' She said. She didn't try to look away; I was trying to see if she was lying but... ''I'm sorry'' She finished.

I dropped my arms and I faked a smile.

''ouf! I'm glad that was sorted out! I was worried that you actually liked me!'' I said with a chuckle as I rubbed the back of my head.

I open my eye and she didn't move. I turned my back on her and slowly opened the door of my office.

''Well then, good night, Tsukiyumi-san.'' I said.

She slowly nodded and took off my Captain's cape before walking away without even looking at me. I closed the door as she went down the stairs leading to her room and I let myself fall on my chair when I got beside it. I rubbed my face with my hands. My heart was racing. I actually thought she liked me. But now I know that she don't... I sighed. I felt something inside of me break. But I couldn't be selfish, if she is happy with Kyouraku, well be it. The only sight of her smiling will make me happy. I got up and walked to the lab, I needed to take her off my mind.

A week later, I haven't seen my third seat since the night with Shunsui. I didn't know her whereabouts, and Hiyori didn't saw her either. I walked towards our training ground where I used to supervise my men skills. Three of them were sitting on the balcony, legs between the posts of the handrail.

''Taicho!'' They exclaimed as they saw me sitting down near them. They were about to get up, I made a sign that it was okay.

''It's okay; everyone needs a break once in a while.'' I said with a smile. When I looked infront of me, three men were fighting with a wooden sword. They were actually pretty good.

''Oh look! There's Tsukiyumi-san!'' Said one of the men as he gave a shot to his friend with his elbow. I looked in the same direction. Sara was walking towards the training ground.

''She is so beautiful!'' Said the other.

''I heard a rumour that she is dating Kyouraku Taicho'' Whispered the first.

''yeah, and last week the rumours were saying that she was dating our own Taicho.'' Replied the third.

''Yeah but yeah but Kyouraku-Taicho and Tsukiyumi-san actually hang out.'' Defended the first.

''Yeah and Tsukiyumi-san and Urahara-Taicho used to hang out.'' said the second. ''She is also friends with Shihoin-Taicho; does that mean she dates her too?''

It was incredible how they seemed to have forgotten me. But, Sara and Shunsui were seen hanging out? They might be more than friends now. As she got closer, the three men called to her. She turned around and waved at them with a beautiful smile but when she saw me, she slightly lost that smile. We stared at each other for a slight second before she bowed infront of me.

''Hoy Tsukiyumi-san, want to train with us today?'' Said one of the men who were fighting another.

''Sorry boys, but not today, I have things to do.'' She said with a kind smile.

''Going to see your dear Kyouraku-Taicho?'' Said one of the men close to me.

She laughed.

''Another rumour like that one is running?'' She asked. ''Oh my god, I can't speak with a man without dating him now?''

''Well, if that's true, I won't mind speaking with you!'' Said one of the men holding a wooden sword as he was about to take my third seat by the size.

''Mmmm! I'll pass my turn, sorry.'' She said with a chuckle. ''Oh! By the way Taicho'' She said as she turned towards me. ''I have some paper work a need you to sign, I dropped them off at your desk, and I'll come pick them up later, okay?''

I slightly nodded and she continued her way. She left towards the gate; she was probably going to see Kyouraku...

The moment I thought that, someone came rushing to me.

''Taicho! Kyouraku-Taicho is here to speak with you!'' said the little Sora. I smile and nodded.

''Bring him to my office.'' I said as I got up. I calmly walked as I wondered why that Shunsui wanted to speak to me of. I walked a little faster. When I turned the corner, I bumped into someone. That someone was someone of my squad, but I didn't know the name.

''Taicho! I'm so very sorry!'' She said as she rushed to bow infront of me. She was quite tall and her hair was light brown and her eyes were a dark blue. I gasp. How couldn't I remember such a beautiful girl in my division?

''No, I'm the one who wasn't looking where I was going.'' I said as rubbed the back of my head. Then I realized that there was paper everywhere.

''Come on; let me help you... hum?''

''Arashi, sir, Arashi Cho.'' She said with another bow.

''Arashi-san, don't need to be so polite when I am the one in fault here.'' I said as I gave her paper that I picked up. When she was about to take it, I suddenly pulled them back as a formula pretty complicated caught my eye.

''What is this?'' I asked as I studied it.

From the corner of my eye, I saw that a blush grew on her beautiful cheeks.

''Some of my research on Zanpakuto's and where they came from.'' She said with a shy smile.

I scratch my chin and smile as I gave her back her work.

''It's very interesting; you should come to my office sometime soon so we can work it out together.'' I said making her smile.

''Okay then!'' She replied very enthusiasm. She bowed infront of me and ran away.

Kyouraku, shoot! I ran towards my desk where Shunsui was waiting for me infront of my door.

''Yo! Kisuke, sorry to disturb you on short notice'' he said with a smile.

''It's okay, I wasn't busy, sorry to have made you wait though'' I said as I opened my door. I let him pass and he sat down in the chair infront of my desk.

I sat down on my own chair and I brought my hands together on my desk.

''So what is the honour of your visit?'' I asked with a smile.

''It's about Sara.'' He dropped. I forced to keep my smile and I got up to close the door of my office. ''I take full responsibility of what happened the other night and-''

''It doesn't matter'' I cut off as I sat back down. ''I might be her Taicho, but I have no right to decide who she wants to date.''

I sighed.

''I was only worried about her decision then since she was angry with me, her emotions could have influence her decisions, but now, I have no right to impose myself between you two.''

He looked at me longly and got up.

''You are a very good captain Kisuke.'' Shunsui dropped. I looked up a bit surprised.

''If Tsukiyumi-san would have been my third seat, and you'll be the one she wanted to date-''

My heart skipped a beat. Thinking there was a possibility that Sara could have fallen for me...

''I would keep her for myself.'' He finished with a wink.

I slowly bowed my head and so did he. He turned around and left the room, where outside Lisa was waiting looking severe. She bowed infront of me and I gently waved.

I sighed loudly when they've finally left.

''Oh hello Taicho!'' I heard Sara not far away.

''Tsukiyumi-san, what a surprise, looking lovely as always!'' Answered Shunsui. I could sense a smile in his voice.

''Well, thank you.'' She replied.

I heard footsteps coming closer and my third seat appeared in front of my door. She was carrying a package.

''Delivery for you, sir!'' She said to me with a sighed. ''I don't know why, but everyone thinks I'm a delivery boy.''

I smiled as she put the package on my desk.

''A package from whom?'' I asked.

''I don't know, this girl from our division who said she wanted you to study these documents and she will come tomorrow to the lab.'' She said simply.

''Oh! Okay then, thank you.'' I answered as I opened the box.

I took the first page and scrolled it with my eyes, but I felt a burning stare. I looked up to see that Sara didn't move an inch.

''So?'' She said.

''So?' I repeated amused.

''Who was that girl?'' She asked with a sigh as she crossed her arms.

''Why do you ask?''

''By simple curiosity''

''Are you sure it's not because you are jealous?'' I said with a smirk as I got up.

I saw a blush grow on her cheeks before I went to my door to close it.

''Wh-why would I be jealous?'' She asked as she turned towards me.

''Well, you didn't speak to me for a week, and now a beautiful girl tells to you that she will come to the lab tomorrow, and here you are questioning me.'' I said with a smile.

I walked towards her and grabbed her wrists. She tried to move back but I pulled her closer.

''Did it occur to you the reason why I didn't spoke to you for a week might be because I was occupied?'' She said coldly.

''Occupied with Shunsui?'' I replied on the same tone.

Sara POV

''Occupied with Shunsui?'' He replied coldly.

My heart pinched. For the last week I avoided Kisuke because of what happened. When he kissed me back then and told me that he remembered everything, my heart ran faster. For how long did he remembered? I couldn't confess to him this way. So I took the easy way out. I lied to him. I told him that I didn't love him. And to forget what happened; I past most of my time with Kyouraku-Taicho. But when that girl asked me to bring the package to Urahara, I wondered who she was, and got worried that Urahara found himself a girlfriend.

Seeing that I wasn't answering he let me go.

''Come tomorrow'' He said suddenly.

I looked into his eyes.

''Arashi Cho is studying the Zanpakuto's origin and since you are the only one with a lighting type Zanpakuto, I want you to be there.'' he said.

''Arashi Cho?'' I asked.

''The girl who gave you this, her name is Arashi Cho.'' He said as he tapped the box.

I nodded and was about to leave the room.

''By the way, Shunsui and I spoke earlier.'' He said making me turn around. He was very serious.

''I told him that I didn't mind if you two dated, it is none of my business anyway; just stay careful if you want to stay a Shinigami.''

My heart pinched. I wasn't expecting that he would agree with me dating Shunsui. In some way, I was glad, but at the same time, deceived. A part of me wanted him to be jealous and keep me only to him. But I smiled. I ran to him a give him a gentle kiss on the cheek. He looked at me obviously surprised and I chuckled.

''Thank you Taicho.'' I whispered.

He gently smile to me and nodded.

''Don't forget to come tomorrow.'' He said.

I nodded and left the room.

I slowly walked through my division, but I only wanted to run and scream. I wasn't expecting that Urahara-Taicho would be so considerate. I walked out of the twelfth division and walked towards the eight. When I turned the first corner, Kyouraku-Taicho was right infront of me.

I was about to scream out of surprise, but he quickly crashed his lips on mine. But I quickly pushed him away.

''Are you crazy?'' I said with a smile. ''What if someone sees us?''

''Don't you think it is thrilling to be seen in public?'' He ask as he pulled me by the waist.

''Yes, but a little too much that I could handle'' I replied as I pushed him away.

He sighed before looking at me kindly.

''So? How it went with Urahara-Taicho?'' I asked as I started to walk.

''You must know; you saw him just after...'' He said as he scratched his chin. I look at him longly before sighing.

''He only told me that he was okay with me dating you and it was none of his business anyway.'' I dropped with a sad smile.

''Kisuke is really a good man.'' He said. I looked up, obviously surprised.

''It is funny how you both react the same way on what I say.'' He continued with a chuckle. ''If you keep it up, I'll think that I'm dating him''

I laughed at that. It was true that Urahara and me had a tendency to be the same at times .No wonder that we had so much in common.

We heard voices not far away.

''Oh my, we can't be seen!'' Said Kyouraku with a chuckle. ''Join me at my office in twenty minutes!''

He kissed me on the lips and rushed away. I looked at his back, not understanding what we couldn't be seen walking side by side. Maybe because I was only a lieutenant. I sighed and walked in the opposite direction. I didn't understand why Kyouraku was dating me… He did tell me that I was pretty once… I looked at the sky and let the sweat breeze blow in my hair.

''Beautiful day, isn't it?'' Said a voice behind me. I turned around and was surprised to see Shinji Hirako with his fukutaicho Sosuke Aizen. I didn't understand why every captain always stops to speak with me. Maybe because I was as famous as the one who was almost killed by her own captain, or the new rumour that I dated every captain in the soul society.

''Hirako-Taicho, Aizen-Fukutaicho'' I said very politely as I bowed in front of them.

''Tsukiyumi Sara, was it?'' Asked Hirako.

''That is correct'' I said as I nodded.

''I was wondering…'' He whispered as he came closer to me.

''It is true that you are dating Kyouraku?'' He whispered in my ear.

''Wh-what! What make you think that? T-Taicho?'' I asked as I look at my feet.

''I saw you kissing the other day'' he said.

''W-well, that was…'' I tried to find an excuse but clearly, there was none. ''I have nothing'' as I lift my arms in sign of discouragement.

''Well, my advice for you is to be more careful'' Said Aizen.

I nodded and slowly bowed.

''Yes, I will, I am very sorry'' I said. I didn't like Aizen much. I think it was because of his glasses. No, he didn't seemed sincere as he smiles, personally, the further I would be away from him, the happier I will be. Shinji caressed my head before walking away. As for his shadow, he stopped beside me and whispered this in my ear; ''Not only careful in your discretion, but in your choice of men, I wouldn't trust Kyouraku-Taicho and even less Urahara-Taicho''

I was paralyzed form what he just said. I heard him chuckle before he walked away. When I turned to ask him what was his deal; he had already turned the corner with his own Taicho.

''What the hell is his problem?'' I muttered insulted.
