Here's the next chapter it's in normal POV.


" Good morning Jinta, Ururu, Tessai, and Takara," Urahara yawned, walking into the shop.

" Good morning, Mr. Kisuke," Tessai greeted.

" Jinta," Ururu whined. " Stop it! That huuurttts!"

" You're a big baby, you know that?" Jinta pulled her hair.

" Stop fighting you two," Urahara pulled them apart. " Can't you two just get along?"

Jinta continued to tease Ururu and Urahara took that as a 'no'.

" Where's Takara?" He asked.

" We couldn't find her," Ururu replied.

" She ran," Urahara's eyes narrowed.

" That girl is so difficult," Tessai shook his head.

" Oh, so that's what the note meant." Jinta stopped.

" What note?" Urahara looked at him.

Jinta got a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to the blond, who unfolded it and read it silently.

Urahara,

Don't look for me, don't send Ichigo or someone else after me, don't even try, cause you won't be able to find me. But, knowing you, you'll try to find me.

But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell, and couldn't see this place would soon become my hell. I'll step outside my minds eyes for a minute and I'll look over me like a doctor looking for disease or something that can ease the pain. But nothin' cures the hurt you bring all by yourself, just remembering how we were.

If you're smart like I think you are, you'll understand what I see in those lyrics and know why I left. I know you understand that hint. I guess I'll see you when you wind up finding me. Goodbye Urahara. I love you that much I'm sure of. I'm so sorry…

Takara Kumiko

" You stupid girl," Urahara folded the note and shook his head. " Takara, you're as naïve as a little girl."

" What did it say?" Tessai asked.

" I'll be away shortly," Urahara smiled.

" Do you know where she is?" Ururu asked.

Urahara only continued to smile at them and left.

XXX Takara's POV XXX

I sat there, in the place that was mine. I'd created it with my mind when I was younger. It was a place that rained tears, yet the grass was lush. It was a place where I could gather myself when I was distraught. It was somehow in the human world and only I, and whomever I decided to tell about it could enter.

" Why?" I lay in the salty rain. " Why am I suddenly feeling the emotion of love? It's such a human emotion. I couldn't be with anyone since I'm in the Soul Society since we're not allowed to get married."

I'd been in my invented false world since late last night when I ran from Urahara's. My black hair was wet, my Soul Reaper outfit was wet, and the rain was cold. I sneezed and sighed.

" Annie, are you okay?" Urahara came out of nowhere. " Are you okay? You okay, Annie?"

" Very funny," I sat up.

" Well, that's basically what you did to me," Urahara took off his hat. " You left randomly, leaving some random note behind, with random lyrics. You love me. That's nothing worth running away for, Takara. Like I said-"

" You like me too," I nodded.

" Exactly, so why did you run?" His hair was soaked.

" I just needed to get my head together. I've allowed myself to feel a human emotion. I've opened myself to love. I needed to figure out what I was gonna do. Was I gonna continue to love you or just go back to the Soul Society? Either way, I was going to wind up back at the Soul Society."

" You talk about love like it's a shameful emotion. I'll let you in on a little secret: it's not," He touched my drenched hair. " Why come to such a gloomy place when you could come to me? I could help you with your decision."

" For some reason, that sounds dirty when you say it," I smiled. " I guess once you're a pervert, you're always a pervert."

" If being perverted means you'll love me too, then I want to be perverted," He kissed me. " We can't escape our emotions, Takara."

We sat in the rain and kissed innocently as we realized that we really couldn't escape our emotions.

" Let's go home," He helped me up. " We'll both catch a cold and then Tessai will offer us expired medicine that will have both of us running for the bathroom."

I nodded and followed him back to the shop. I felt so comfortable around him; he just had that air to him.

" You've finally returned!" Tessai smiled.

" Where were you Takara?" Ururu asked.

" Yeah," Jinta nodded. " And why do you have lip gloss all over your mouth Mr. Kisuke?"

" Uh," Urahara and I looked at each other.

I had a feeling that our newfound relationship would be hard to hide with those three around.
