Sosuke sighed. He didn't have a car with him, and he didn't want Akiko to walk in the condition she was in right now. He had to borrow a car from someone, and that idea didn't strike as the best one.

It was his only one.

He entered the principal's office and found Shunsui going through a few papers. He saw Sosuke enter his chambers, but didn't smile. "Sir, I need to borrow your car, if that's alright. Miss Maeda cannot walk home in her condition." Nothing was wrong with the girl, she was just traumatized that a female teacher abused her. And Aizen saved the day.

Shunsui smiled slightly and passed the man his car keys. "Drop her off, and come straight here Professor, we need to have a little chat." Aizen groaned internally, his mind fluttering with the possibilities on what Shunsui wanted to talk about.

"Of course." He said, and walked off, with Akiko following closely behind him. She didn't say a word. She couldn't talk. Why was it only her? She had to face so many 'hurdles' when she was around that man.

Was it all worth it?

She stared at Professor Aizen's back, and she saw her hand clutching on to his, and him holding hers, protectively.

The two reached the car, and Aizen got in quickly. He drove off, and his gaze shifted to the girl next to him. She was oddly quiet. He gulped, feeling extremely sorry for her, and another feeling. Care.

"Are you…alright?" It wasn't like him, bothered to ask a girl whether she was alright when she clearly wasn't.

No answer.

She didn't even shake her head.

Aizen furrowed his eyebrows and kept driving. The rest of the drive was painfully quiet. As soon as the two reached the girl's house, he parked the car haphazardly and dragged the girl inside, opening the door with one hand. He dragged the girl to her bed, made her sit on his and he hugged her, startling her.

"You'll be fine…I won't let anyone hurt you, I swear." It wasn't Aizen who was talking, he surely shouldn't care.

But he did, that man was just lying to himself.

Akiko draped her hand around his hip, and snuggled. Aizen smiled, and slowly pulled away. "I'll come by just after school. The principal needs to talk to me, and after that, I'll be here. Just rest, okay?" Akiko nodded feebly. Aizen kissed the girl on her forehead and walked out.

After reaching school, he noticed the children running around, going home. School must've ended, but that didn't mean he shouldn't meet Shunsui. He clearly told the man he wanted to talk to him. Aizen sighed. What if it was about what Rika said? That Aizen and Akiko were dating?

They clearly weren't dating.

They were just two people with an intimate relationship.

Which was also illegal if it were between a teacher and a student.

He entered Shunsui's room and found a woman, in her late twenties, black hair and black eyes, and she was sitting in front of Shunsui, and the said man turned to Aizen and spoke, "This is Dr. Retsu Unohana, a therapist, who was treating Rika Koyama." Aizen cocked his eyebrow and turned to the woman. "Nice to meet you, I'm Sosuke Aizen." Retsu smiled.

"Take a seat professor." Aizen did just that.

"Treatment for what, may I ask?" Aizen asked.

"Rika Koyama, is suffering from a disorder commonly termed as 'sex addiction.'" Retsu said. Aizen could laugh. "She was undergoing treatment, and I was certain she was almost cured. It all began after the death of her husband. I presume, she must've fallen for your charms, professor." Retsu said, sounding as if she were stabbing him in the face.

"I…had no idea." Aizen said, clearly knowing what effect he had.

"You're just too darn good looking that's what she's saying, but don't worry, it's all over now." Shunsui said, smirking.

"But there is another cause of concern. The reason she assaulted the student Ms. Akiko Maeda is unknown." Retsu said, eying Aizen intently.

"She thought the two of them are dating, isn't that right professor?" Shunsui asked, and Aizen let out a light chuckle.

"Is that so?" Retsu seemed interested in the conversation and Aizen could tell she was trying to sniff out something. "We walk together from our houses sometimes, and she is my student. Rika assumed falsely." Aizen stated firmly.

"Of course!" Shunsui believed him right away. Retsu smiled, but Sosuke thought it was forced. "The problem seems to have been fixed Professor Kyoraku. Rika will not be troubling you any longer. I'm sorry for what my patient has caused. Good day Professors." She said, and left.

"Sorry about all that, Sosuke. You must really hate being that handsome." Aizen chuckled. "I've learned to live with it." "How's Akiko doing?" Aizen smiled slightly.

"Better."

After Aizen got out of the principal's chambers, he started to walk as fast as he could to Akiko's.

Sosuke wasn't the sort of man who bothered about problems of others. He had never been in a relationship with a girl where he actually cared for her well-being. He knew it was wrong of him to want girls the way he did, but 'love' never worked out for the man. Every time he grew close to liking someone, he quickly detached himself from them, by sleeping with them. It always worked. But with this student, things were different.

Maybe it was because she refused to see him just as every girl Aizen was with saw him?

Maybe she didn't like him the way those girls did?

Or maybe…'She's the one for me?' Aizen's eyes widened as he thought about this, and shook his head.

He was rotting on the inside, digging for answers which never showed themselves.

Why was this girl any different?

Aizen reached Akiko's house and got inside. She walked inside, and saw that she was sleeping, the blankets covering her body, and Aizen smiled. He walked toward her and gently placed his hands on her cheek. A sudden tug on his shirt startled him, and Aizen saw that Akiko was still awake.

"How're you feeling?" His voice was dripping with disquiet. It was unlike him.

"I'm okay professor." Akiko sat up and revealed to Sosuke what she was wearing.

A tank top and shorts reaching her thigh. Aizen sat next to her and ignored her attire. It was unlike him.

Akiko crawled next to the man, and hugged him, and Aizen immediately hugged her back, his hands snaked around her petite form, and hers around his torso. Akiko breathed hard, and tightened her grip around him. Aizen's blood flowed downstream and he pulled the girl onto his lap and embraced her tighter. Her chest was pressed to his, and her hands fiddled with his hair.

Aizen pulled away a little and sent butterfly kisses on her neck. Her hands left his hair and travelled downwards on his face and she kissed his lips, shocking the man.

Her eyes were closed, and her face flushed.

Her heart was beating a thousand times faster. Aizen kissed back vigorously, and pushed the girl down on her back on the bed, and his hands grabbed her hips.

He kissed her neck, and she moaned.

Aizen stopped for a second, recalled the sound that emitted from her mouth because of him, and continued kissing.

Her hands enveloped around him, and her breathing hitched as he kissed her jawbone.

He grabbed the hem of her tank top, and she let him remove it, revealing her black bra.

He didn't want this.

He could very well continue what he was doing, and sleep with her just as he had planned.

But he just couldn't do it.

He waited. He waited desperately for a sign. A sign from her indicating him to stop.

If she didn't, he'd take her.

But Sosuke Aizen, for the first time, in his life, wishing for this girl to make him stop.

She let him kiss her.

She let him touch her.

She wanted this as much as he wanted it.

But just then, his prayers were answered.

Just when his hands reached her shorts, she let out a sound, almost inaudible.

But he heard it nonetheless.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, and pulled the girl on his lap and sat upright. She hugged the man, and cried. Her face was pressed against his chest and he cradled her. "I-I'm sorry professor…I…I was scared…" Aizen shushed the girl and muttered, "It's alright." And he meant it.

He put the girl's shirt back on her, and pulled her close.

And they sat there, in each other's arms, and Akiko finally spoke.

"Were you a nerd professor?" Aizen chuckled heartily and said, "What made you think that?" Akiko shook her head and, "Two reasons. You wore glasses. And you teach math." Aizen loved how cute the girl was at times.

"Something close to a nerd. A klutz, maybe." Akiko giggled. He kissed the girl's hair and continued, "I was clumsy, and well, Kisuke loved picking on me." Akiko pulled back and stared at her lover's face.

Aizen laughed at her reaction. "I visited the library often, so that girl's wouldn't bug me. They were plain torture. They…attacked me when I was alone. It was honestly really scary." Akiko laughed at this.

"I remained without a girlfriend throughout high school. It was in college, that I, grew a little bolder." Akiko stiffened. Aizen noticed.

"Professor?" "Yes, Akiko?" He said her name, and it still made butterflies stir in his belly.

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me about your past right now. You can…always tell me when you want to. I'm sorry I persuaded today." Aizen's eyes widened. He hugged her tighter and said, "I…wasn't a good guy before Akiko…I…did some terrible things."

"I don't care." Aizen closed his eyes and breathed on her hair.

"I have issues Akiko." He was hoping she would back away from him, at least then, he wouldn't have to hurt her.

He didn't want to hurt Akiko.

The girl he came so close to loving.

"We'll sort them out together." Aizen hugged the girl and she did the same.

It was then he realized something.

Sosuke Aizen was lucky. The luckiest bloke out there, to have a girl like her.

A girl ready to be with him, even if he was the most scarred man alive.

He was sure of what he felt now.

For the first time in his life, Sosuke Aizen spoke three words, which sounded to foreign to him.

"I love you."
