Taiketsu

(Get Away)

The last star in the sky had finally disappeared as the sun rose above the horizon, the sky changing from purplish black to an array of yellows, oranges, and pinks. And somewhere in the Urahara shop, laid a couple who had just taken their relationship to the next level.

Jyuushiro already lay awake in bed, watching his precious Soifon, love of his life, sleep peacefully beside him with the biggest smile he had ever seen spread across her face.

I love you Jyuushiro remembered the words he had uttered last night.

He remembered how great it was to tell Soifon he loved her but what was even greater was hearing Soifon utter the words back.

She loved him. Jyuushiro felt like the king of all Soul Society. He had good friends, good health (at the moment), and the love of his beautiful blossom. He hoped to god he could live in this moment forever.

Forever?

He hadn't really given much thought to him and Soifon and forever.

Forever?

To spend the rest of his life with his darling Soifon? Why that would be like a dream come true. But what if Soifon doesn't feel the same way?

What if Soifon doesn't want to spend the rest of her life with me? I have no doubt she loves me but what if she isn't the marrying type? What if she wasn't ready to tell me she loved me? She just said it because I scared her into saying it when I said 'I love you'? he thought sitting up in the bed draping his legs over the side.

Well, at least I know she won't have a problem moving in together. I mean, she practically spends all her time at my place. But what if she doesn't want to keep spending time at my place? What if she wants to buy a new place to live in? Well, if she wanted to do that then she would want to get married, right? He paced about the room. "Argh! I don't know!" he ran his hands through his long, white hair.

"Jyuushiro?" he heard the voice of his angel call to him.

"Yes, what is it my love?" he crawled back into bed and grabbed Soifon's hands in his.

"Why were you shouting?" she asked.

"Shouting? I was—oh!" he slapped his forehead. "I guess I was", he laughed nervously. "Sorry dear. I didn't mean to wake you", he told her.

"Jyuushiro, what's wrong?" she looked deep into his chocolate brown eyes.

Jyuushiro felt his heart lurch from the look she was giving him. Those charcoal grey eyes that said 'I'm sorry if I did something to make you unhappy but please tell me what to do to make it right again'. Jyuushiro could just kick himself for making his Soifon fell this way.

Jyuushiro then leaned forward and captured Soifon's mouth in a deep, loving and passionate kiss.

"What was that for?" she said once they broke apart.

"That was my way of saying sorry for making you feel it was your fault I was upset", he replied.

"So if I didn't do anything to upset, what did?"

"Oh, just stuff", he shrugged.

"Jyuushiro", she said sternly.

"Alright", he laughed a little. "I'll tell you", he pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I was upset because I thought I was rushing our relationship a bit and I might have made you uncomfortable is all", he explained to her.

"Is this about the 'I love you' we said to each other yesterday?" she questioned.

"Somewhat", he replied.

"Jyuushiro", she smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed him back onto the bed. "I said 'I love you' because I truly do love you. You didn't rush things. In fact, you couldn't be more on time. I wanted to tell you I loved you the day we were called into Yamamoto's office. Actually, I wanted to say it the moment you came after I threw that girl in my squad into the wall. All that was going through my mind at that moment was I love you and I'll be damned if anyone tells me different", she confessed.

"Oh Soifon", he flipped them over so that he was on top. "I felt the same way. After I finished off one of my squad members, I came running straight to you. All I wanted to do was hold you in my arms and keep you safe from the world . . . from everything", he confessed to her. "I love you Soifon. I always have and I always will", he declared before leaning forward and pressing his lips to hers and giving her the most breathtaking kiss of his life.

"Sorry to interrupt this lovely love fest but don't you two think you might want to go, so you can beat the traffic?" Kisuke Urahara, ex-captain to squad twelve and owner and manager of the Urahara shop suggested.

"Yeah, I guess we better", Jyuushiro said, already missing the taste of his girlfriend's lips on his. "Come on Soifon", he pulled her out of bed.

"Oh alright", she pouted. "But the next you interrupt us Urahara, I will kill you", she glared at the green and white stripped hat man.

"Now Soifon", Jyuushiro looked at her. "Kisuke was nice enough to give us gigai and a place to sleep for the night. Let's be a little more grateful, okay?" he smiled at her.

"Okay", she drooped her head. "Thank you for your hospitality Urahara-san", she bowed.

"Oh that won't be necessary. Just seeing you two so in love is reward enough", he grinned then opened his fan over his face. "Although money is still appreciated. Please pay Tessai at the front before you go though", he said before skipping away.

"Why that—"

"Now remember Jyuushiro, he did give us our gigai and a place to bed for the night, we should be a little more appreciative", she smirked.

"Why you", he grabbed her and lifted her over his shoulder. "Oh you are so going to get it", he grinned evilly.

"Jyuushiro, put me down", she kicked and screamed.

"Oh no can do my Soicup. Now you must be punished for being smart with your Shiro bear", he said as he kicked open the door to the bathroom. "And I intend to punish you", he laid her on the edge sink and wriggled his eyebrows at her.

"Oh really?" Soifon grinned as she pulled him closer to her and kissed him deeply on the lips.

"Now that's what I'm talking about", he pulled her in the shower with him and turned the water on.


A good half hour later, the couple emerged from their room clean and dressed in their gigai as well as with a smile on their faces.

"I thought the two of you would never come out", Kisuke said.

"Well, we got caught up in each other a bit", Jyuushiro smiled as he pinched Soifon on the butt.

Soifon squeaked as her cheeks flamed red. "Jyuushiro", she swatted his chest lightly. "Not in front of everyone", she said through tight lips.

"I know but I just couldn't help myself", he wrapped his arms around her waist as he planted kisses all along her neck.

"Uh um", Yoruichi (the cat) coughed. "I guess the two of you are excited but I doubt from the trip you're about to take", she said.

"Yes, we are excited about our trip. It's just that Soifon excites me more", Jyuushiro kissed her on the cheek.

"Jyuushiro", Soifon blushed.

"How cute!" Kisuke clasped his fan shut and clapped. "Well, as much as I love your little show here, you have to be on your way. Here are you plane tickets and there will be a rental waiting for you once you land. Enjoy!" Kisuke shoved them out the door.

"Uh, bye Kisuke", Jyuushiro said.

"Yeah, bye", Soifon sounded even more confused.

"Goodbye", Yoruichi said as Kisuke shut the door. "And good riddance", she sighed. "I couldn't take anymore of their love", she said.

"Oh come now Yoruichi, you have to admit, it is cute but they were overdoing it a bit. Although, it's nice to see Soifon so happy and aren't you glad she has found someone as nice as Jyuushiro and not some creep or loser to open up to? Jyuushiro will take care of her and in due time, mind her broken heart", Kisuke commented.

"I hope so", Yoruichi leaped onto his shoulder. "She deserves to be happy".


"Flight 149-B, now exiting", they heard the intercom say.

"What does that mean?" Soifon asked.

"Oh, that just means that our flight has left the plane and it's also letting the workers in the airport know which flight has landed", he explained to her.

"Oh", she said.

"This must have been your first time taking a trip on plane before, am I correct?" he asked her.

"Yes", she replied.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you all there is to know. So don't hesitate to ask me any questions, okay?" he smiled at her.

"Okay", she smiled back.

After they picked up the luggage from the baggage terminal, they headed towards the exit.

"I wonder what type of rental it could be?" Jyuushiro thought out loud to himself. "Or what model and year it is? Certain models are dangerous but then others just don't drive well. And the color? I wonder what color he picked? Knowing him, probably something embarrassing. That man has a weird since of humor."

"Jyuushiro", Soifon finally spoke. "What are you talking about?"

"Huh? Oh, I was talking about the rental", he explained to her.

"Oh", she nodded then asked. "Jyuushiro, what's a rental?"

"Well Soifon, a rental is—that right there?" he pointed to a black 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5 S pulling up in front of them.

(that's the only type of car I know and it's the kind I want to buy. Hate it, love it, don't care. My fanfic.)

"So a rental is a car?" she quirked her head up at her boyfriend.

"Well, not quite Soifon dear", he looked down at her, trying to figure out the best way to explain this to her. "You see, a rental can be many things but in this case, it's a car. The technical term is rental car, but people shortened it to rental because rental car seemed like a long name to say. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I think", she replied.

"Don't worry. You'll get it. It just takes time", he grabbed their luggage and walked over to the rental.

When he had closed the trunk, he had saw Soifon already sitting in the front seat, trying to figure out which key to use.

"Soifon, are you sure you know how to drive this thing?" he asked her, walking to the driver's side of the car.

"How hard can it be?" she shrugged.

"Harder than you think", he replied. "Maybe I should drive", he pulled the keys from her hands.

"Hey! No fair. Why can't I drive?"

"Um . . . because you don't know how to drive", he said as if it were obvious.

"How would you know?" she retorted.

"Okay, you're right, I don't know. But I do know that you don't have a license", he countered.

"So?" was all she said.

"So?! So you need a license to drive here", he told her.

"Oh", was all she could say as she turned to blush. "Well, then I'll just go and get this 'license'", she said determined.

"It's not that simple my dear Soifon", he looked at her.

"Hmph", she turned away from him.

"For now, I'll drive but I'll stop at an empty parking lot and let you try for a while, okay?" he cupped her chin in his hand and turned her face towards him. "Okay?" he said again.

"Okay", she said solemnly. "But you promise to teach me later?" she looked hopeful at him.

"Yes", he smiled as he gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. "But for now, I'll drive. That way I can be sure nothing happens to my precious Soicup", he said.

"Alright", she slide over and crawled into the passenger's seat. "So, you ready for Vegas?" he asked her.

"Yes I am", she smiled back at him.

"Okay, let's go", he put the car in gear and took off.


Well, that's all you get for now. Here's what happens next:

"Jyuushiro", Soifon stared into his deep brown eyes. "I love you so much and I always will", she leaned forward and kissed him with every fiber of her being.

Jyuushiro equally returned the kiss as he lifted Soifon in his arms and carried her over to the bed and gently laid her down, their lips still connected to one another's.

That's all for now. Bye. Please read and review.
