I do not own Bleach.

Nanao sat in a tree as she waited for Shunsui to signal her. She watched as children played with their parents. She couldn't help the heartache she felt.

'Im sure Seto-chan is fine.' Chishitoge knew exactly where her mind was.

"He may not eve exist anymore." Nano spoke softly, but she could hear the sadness in her own voice. She blinked back tears as she leaned back against the tree.

"Who may not exist, Nanao-chan?" Nanao jumped at Shunsui,a silent approach and fell back wards. Shunsui easily caught her and smiled at her blushing face. "I think it might be safe for my Nanao-chan to not climb trees anymore."

"If you let me know you were coming I wouldn't have fallen!" Nanao pushed herself out of his arms and onto her feet. "You done whatever you needed to do? What are you wearing?"

Shunsui looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a pair of dark wash jeans, black dress shoes, and a pink button up shirt with the top four buttons undone. "Does it look strange?"

Nanao blushed as she did a full look around of him. "No. It just looks strange to see you out of uniform."

"But I was out of my uniform earlier." Shunsui smiled as Nanao blushed again. He avoided her fan as it went towards his face. "Nanao-chan gets violent when she is embarrassed."

"Then don't say such inappropriate thing!" Nanao yelled at him while she retrieved her duffle bag for. The tree branch she had been on. She noticed her own Gigai on a nearby branch. "When did that get there?"

"The same time I showed up. I went to pick them up." Shunsui smiled as Nanao slipped into the Gigai.

Nanao jumped down from the branch. She looked at what she was wearing. She was in a raspberry pink sundress with a pair of black flats. She saw Shunsui smile and sighed. "Did it really have to be pink?"

"It looks beautiful on you." Shunsui was glad she wasn't fully yelling at him. It meant she was completely against wearing the dress.

"Thank you. But now I have to change my hair." Nanao pulled her hair out of its clip. She put the clip into her bag and pulled out two flower barrettes. She pined the hair opposite to her bangs back. She liked having her bangs cover part of her face. It allowed her to not be easily recognized.

"Nanao-chan always looks cute. Your hair got longer." He was a bit surprised to see her hair fall past her shoulders. He didn't think it was that long.

Nanao gave him a smile as she walked up to him. "Hair grows when you don't cut it, Taichou."

Shunsui gave her a smile as he placed an arm around her shoulder. "For this trip call me Shunsui."

Nanao whacked his hand with her fan. "That would be inappropriate, sir."

"But we aren't working, and this is a vacation." He gave Nanao a pouting face. "Pretty please Nanao-chan."

Nanao eyed him through the corner of her eye. "We aren't that familiar with each other, Kyoraku-Tai-" Shunsui gave her the most hurt look he could make. "Kyoraku-san." She noticed his mood lighten almost immediately. "But only for this trip. Got it."

"Yep. My loving sweet Nanao-chan." Shunsui picked her up and stepped into shunpo. They were at the resort in six steps. "Here we are. A mountain resort with a lake and hot springs. There are even springs were we can be together, Nanao-chan."

Nanao quickly got out of his arms. "I don't think we will be using those hot springs." She quickly made her way into the lobby. "What is the reservation under?"

"I'll take care of it. Wait here for me, my lovely Nanao-chan." Shunsui dropped his bag beside Nanao and walked up to the desk.

"I'm not your anything." She spoke in an annoyed voice. 'But I wish I was.'

'I'm cure the black suit will do the trick.' Nanao blushed at Chishitoge's comment. 'Although, I'm sure any of the three will do the trick.'

'Hopefully there is more than one room. Otherwise this is going to be a dreadful three days.' Nanao leaned against the wall after dropping her bag beside Shunsui's.

'Just more fun for us to watch.' Nanao gave her zanpakutou an annoyed face through her mind. 'What? I've been alone for a while. So don't blame me if I want to see a bit of fun.'

'He's back.' Nanao turned her attention away from her cats at Chibara,s observation. The black cat was becoming quiet again.

"I have the condo key, so let's go settle in. And maybe even go for a swim. The clerk said the lake is beautifully warm this time of year." Shunsui picked up both duffle a before nano could pick up her own. "Shall we?" He offered Nanao his free arm.

Nanao could see other people in the lobby looking at them. She sighed as she wrapped her arm around his. She saw a goofy grin on his face as they walked down the path to their condo. "Don't think I will do this at work. This is private life. It is separate from work."

"So here you would do things you would not do at the office." Shunsui led Nanao down the path to where the clerk had said their condo was.

Nanao moved her hand down his arm and laced her fingers through his. "Yes. This is something I would do out of uniform." She looked away from him and made it look like she was looking at the scenery around them.

Shunsui brought Nanao's hand up to his lips and kissed it. "I like being out of uniform."

Nanao couldn't keep her gaze away from him. And she couldn't break eye contact once their eyes met.

They had both stopped walking at this point. Shunsui let the duffle bags drop to the ground. He placed his other hand on Nanao's cheek.

'Looks like you don't see her as your daughter.' Shunsui stopped as Katen Kyokotsu spoke.

'This isn't going to take long.' Nanao snapped out of her half daze at Chishitoge's comment.

Nanao and Shunsui noticed each other stop. "Zanpakutou?" Nanao asked while giving Shunsui a smile. Shunsui nodded his head as he picked the duffle bags up. They continued down the trail till they reached a small cabin. "It's cute."

"There is a queen bed in the bedroom and a pullout couch in the living room." Shunsui unlocked the door and held it open for Nanao.

"I'm going to change." Nanao grabbed her duffle and headed for the bedroom. She shut the door behind her and slid down the door. 'That was so close. Why did you have to stop it!?'

'What? I was just making an observation.' Chishitoge defended himself with his innocent voice. 'So which swimsuit are you going to wear?'

Nanao stood up and dropped her duffle bag on the bed. She unzipped the bag and pulled out the three swimsuits. She noticed a scarf that she hadn't packed as well. It was black white and grey swirled. "Must be for a skirt with the swim suits or something. I think Rangiku told me about them."

Nanao laid the scarf thing down and looked at the three swim suits. The black was definitely out. She didn't feel too comfortable wearing the bikini yet either. She grabbed the red one piece and walked to the bathroom. She didn't want to risk Shunsui just walking in without knocking.

Nanao walked out of the bathroom with her clothes in a ball under her arm. She stuffed the dress into her duffle and grabbed the black scarf thing. She too the two ends that didn't have tassels. Then she wrapped it around her till the ends met back together and tied them together.

'Now you can't tell that you're wearing a one piece.' Nanao smirked at her cat's comment. 'Don't you think she looks nice brother?'

'Yes.' Nanao couldn't help the giggle she let out. Chishitoge didn't believe her that Chibara had become as talkative as himself when he was gone.

"You okay Nanao-chan?" Nanao threw a fan as the door opened. Shunsui frowned as the fan smacked into his face. "Nanao-chan has a good arm on her."

"I have to. Otherwise all of the men that are swooning after me would just carry me away." Nanao pulled out her hair clips as she walked back to the bathroom. She began braiding her hair, but it didn't seem to go how she wanted it to.

"Let me." Shunsui ran his hand through Nanao's silky hair. He smiled as she dropped her hands and waited for him to finish. He had braided Nanao's hair often when she was younger, but not recently. He tied her hair off we the ribbon she held out for him to use. It was a bright pink ribbon. "Done. Nanao-chan looks very cute."

"Do I ever look anything but cute?" Nanao pulled off her glasses and set them on the vanity counter. She didn't want to lose them, and they would only hinder her sight when they got wet.

Shunsui laid a feather light kiss on Nanao's neck. He felt her neck suddenly stiffen. "Nanao-chan is beautiful..." He placed a kiss below her ear. "...elegant..." He placed a kiss on her cheek and looked in the mirror at her half closed eyes. "...and breathtaking." He whispered softly against her cheek before walking out of the bathroom.

Nanao gripped the edge of the counter once he was out of sight. 'Oh. My. Gosh. If he did that again I don't think I could hold back. My gosh that was sexy and seductive.'

'I think it is safe to say that he wants you.' Chishitoge was laying on his back. He had been curling into a ball then entire time Shunsui was in the bathroom.

'No kidding.' Nanao ran a hand over the spots where he had kissed her. She shivered remembering how his lips felt on her skin. It felt like they were burning into her skin.

"Shall we go for a swim?" Nanao walked out of the bathroom to see Shunsui leaning on the doorframe to the bedroom. He wore a pair of pink flowery swim short. His hair was still in its usual ponytail, but there was no sight of his pins. He didn't have his usual sakkat and kimono on either.

Nanao walks past him and let her hand run over his chest and down his arm to his hand. She looked back at him with a smile. "Sure."

'I don't think you screwed up.' Katen Kyokotsu laughed as her master was left speechless. 'Well don't leave the little kitten hanging. Say something or do something.'

Shunsui gave Nanao a smile. The line her hand had drawn tingled pleasantly.

He held her hand and led her to the patio door. A crystal clear lake laid at the end of a path. A steaming hot spring was down a shorter path. But Nanao seemed to be looking towards the lake, so he lead her down that path.

They got to the lake after a few minutes. A pair of lounge chairs sat near the water's edge with a towel on each.

Nanao walked over to one and discarded her black wrap skirt on it. She turned around and saw Shunsui's eyes scanning over her body. She blushed and fidgeted a bit.

Shunsui saw he shift uncomfortably. He walked up to her and leaned down to her ear. "Shall we swim?" He didn't wait for a response as he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder.

"SHUNSUI!" Nanao screamed as he threw her into the lake. She surfaced and gave him a glare. "Don't do that all of a sudden!" Shunsui walked out to wards her with a large smile on his face. "What's that face for?"

Shunsui wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. "Nanao-chan used my name. Why wouldn't I be happy?" He placed his hand on Nanao's cheek again. He leaned in close to her face.

"Oka-san! There are people kissing!" Nanao and Shunsui looked over to see a small child on a floating chair floating by.

"Kirito! What did I tell you about going out too far?" A woman swam over to the boy and began pushing him back to were he had probably come from. "Sorry about him."

Nanao and Shunsui waved at the woman till she was out of sight.

'This is a bit awkward now.' Nanao slid out of Shunsui's arms and dove under the water. Nanao had always loved swimming. Despite having cats as zanpakutou.

Shunsui sighed as another opportunity slipped away. He slid under the water and just watched Nanao swim. She looked like she was born to be in water.

Nanao caught sight of Shunsui watching her. She surfaced for air and then dove back down again. She swam below him and gave him a wink. Then she continued to shore. She walked out of the lake and squeaked water out of her braided hair. She moved her skirt to the back of her chair and grabbed the folded towel. She dried her face before laying the towel down and laying on top of it.

Shunsui watched as Nanao laid down on the lounge chair. He caught her wink at him again before she closed her eyes and let the setting reflect off of her wet skin. 'She is a siren.'

'And we all know you would willingly follow her to the bottom of an ocean.' Katen Kyokotsu rolled her eyes at her master.

Shunsui walked out of the lake and to the lounge chairs. He grabbed his towel and draped it over his head. He looked over and saw Nanao watching him out of the corner of her eyes. "I'm going to sit in the hot spring. Fell free to join me, Nanao-chan." He slowly began walking back up the path.

Nanao watched him head back up the path. 'I forgot how toned his body is. And how great it felt. Kami, I don't think I can make it through this trip without jumping him.' Nanao pulled the ribbon off of her hair and ran her hand through it.

'You have three days Nanao-chan. And remember what you said. This is out of uniform behaviour. You can go a little wild.' Chishitoge gave Nanao a wink.

Nanao sighed as she sat up. She threw her towel over her shoulder and grabbed her skirt. She began walking back up the path. She made her way up the tiny path to the private hot spring.

She stopped when she caught sight of something pink on a boulder near the spring. "Shunsui? What is this?" Nanao crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him.

Shunsui leaned his head back and smiled at Nanao. "Those are my swim trunks. Is my lovely Nanao-chan joining me?"

Nanao pinched the bridge of her nose. "And why aren't you wearing them?" Nanao dropped her towel and skirt on the blonder beside the one Shunsui's swimsuit was on. She leaned against the rock.

"Do I need a reason to wear them?" Shunsui turned and knelt on the seat he had been sitting on. "Nanao-chan can take hers off if she wants to."

"There are children nearby. And indecent exposure is an offence that can get you arrested." Nanao threw Shunsui's swimsuit at his face. "Put them back on before someone sees you."

Shunsui smiled as he put his swim shorts back on. "Nanao-chan used my name again. I wish she would use it at work more." He watched as she walked around to the other side of the hot spring and slide in.

"That is work. This..." Nanao walked over to him and laid her hands on his chest. "This is pleasure." Her hand slid up his chest to his neck.

Shunsui snaked a hand around her waist and pulled her close to him. "They can go together." He frowned when he felt Nanao's hand leave his neck. He followed her gaze to see a small black butterfly land on her finger. "What could they want?"

Nanao pushed herself away from Shunsui and sat on the ledge that was below the waterline. She listened to the message with a frown. She sighed as the butterfly finished it's message. "Message recieved. Return message. We are on our way. Prepare a Senkaimon to open in an hour at current location." She sent the butterfly away and lifted herself to sit on the outside wall of the hot spring.

Shunsui laid his arms and head on Nanao's lap so she couldn't move further away. "What was the message?" He looked up at her with a curious face. His fingers brushed her still wet skin.

Nanao drew in a shuttered breath. "Shiba-Taichou has gone missing. 12th squad can't detect his reiatsu and no one has heard from his since this morning. You have a Taichou meeting once we get back." Nanao slid out from under his arms and stood up. She draped her towel over her shoulders and walked back to the house.

'So much for going wild. Didn't even get one night it of this.' Nanao wiped her feet off with her towel before heading back into the cabin. 'Stupid Aizen with his stupid plan.'

'If you had killed him you might still be in that spring with tall-dark-and-handsome.' Chishitoge smiled widely as Nanao gave him an annoyed look. 'Just saying.'

Nanao sighed heavily. 'Yeah I know. But keep it to yourself next time.'

I needed to write some fluff. Let me know what you thought of it.
