More Romantic Bleach Drabbles

Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to Kubo Tite, not to me.

Author's Note: Sooooo... Solar-chan got a brand new laptop today! My husband bought it for me, using his birthday money. To stop my complaining about my old laptop. HaHa. I'm spoiled! So I thought I'd share the good vibes with y'all and give you a drabble! I tried my best not to make too many errors but if I missed a few, blame my getting used to a new keyboard!

And as for my last drabble, the Lord of Spring was none other than Senbonzakura! Congratulations to Sweet and Deadly, Nicky Eira, and animeprincess32, who guessed correctly!

Dedicated to xXxMiserableLoveFairyxXx!

Many thanks to all my readers and reviewers darklover, animeprincess32, Sweet and Deadly, PunkRockHolly, Nicky Eira, mrsbieber, StarPrincess999, and ZareenBlack!


45. Courage

It had been months since she had come to Soul Society but Hisagi Shuuhei had only just gotten up the courage to approach her for more than just a few casual words. He had no idea why he was suddenly so shy. He'd known her since she was alive. They had fought together against the same enemies. But now that she was dead and in Soul Society, he had really noticed her for the first time. Maybe it because she was no longer human. Maybe it was because she reminded him of a more naive version of Matsumoto Rangiku. Whatever the reason, he knew one thing was certain – he had fallen under her spell

Hisagi made his way to the 13th Division's training area. The last time he had seen her in the Seireitei she had been training at the 13th Division with Kuchiki Rukia as a guest. Now she trained there regularly as a member of the 13th Division. Hisagi once again found himself coming up behind Ukitake-taichou and observing Kuchiki training with Inoue Orihime once more.

"Come to bring me an advance copy of the Seireitei news again?" Ukitake asked without looking back at Hisagi. The white haired Shinigami was more focused on how his two subordinates were doing in their training.

"Actually, I was wondering if I could borrow Orihime-san for a moment," the dark haired Shinigami asked as he came to a stop next to Ukitake.

The white haired taichou glanced up at the younger man and smiled. "Of course. I think Inoue would like that," Ukitake replied. The older man rose to his feet and made his way over to the two training Shinigami. "Kuchiki, Inoue, time to take a break! You have a visitor, Inoue," Ukitake told the two women.

Orihime turned and smiled at her taichou before looking over his shoulder and seeing Hisagi. "Hisagi-kun!" she called, her entire face lighting up.

A faint blush formed on Hisagi's face as he raised a hand to wave at her.

Orihime jogged over to him while Kuchiki and Ukitake watched on, knowing and approving looks on their faces. "What can I do for you today, Hisagi-kun?" the busty young woman asked as she slowed to a stop in front of Hisagi.

Hisagi looked her over, his blush deepening, and he nervously ran a hand through his hand. "I was wondering if you maybe wanted to do something with me later," he said, almost rushing to avoid losing his nerve.

"Sure! What did you have in mind?" Orihime replied, still smiling brightly at Hisagi.

"Maybe we could get dinner...?" he asked again, hesitating despite the fact that she had readily agreed to go out with him. Hisagi knew Orihime was pretty dense sometimes. He wanted to make sure she was aware that he was asking her out on a date.

"Like... on a date?" Orihime asked, her own cheeks turning red to match Hisagi's.

The dark haired man nodded and waited for Orihime's response.

Orihime blushed more and ducked her head. "Okay," she said softly, feeling a little embarrassed that she even had to ask.

Hisagi smiled at her. "Thank you! Do you wanna go now?" Hisagi asked, thrilled.

Orihime nodded again and let Hisagi lead her off.
