Pairing #3 - Kon/Rinrin

Note: For shouren who requested this pairing along with another that will be posted later. Thanks to oichigo-11 for helping finish this.
Warning: Kissing

The ball went flying and smashed right through one of Urahara's rock formations as soon as Kon kicked it. Doing a little dance, Kon was happy to know that the gigai he wore worked as well as an actual body. Wiping the sweat off his brow Kon grinned glad that there were no glitches so far in the movement.

After placing another soccerball in front of him, he ran up and kicked, causing it to smash into a few more rock formations. Instead of kicking again, Kon ran to the ladder and climbed up after jumping as far as he could up the ladder.

Happily he walked with his eyes closed and a grin plastered on his face, until he heard a female voice asking for Urahara; opening his eyes he saw her standing in front of him. A blush started to form but he dismissed it, "Ah...well...have you tried the restroom?" she looked at him with an look that just spelt idiot; she was Rinrin, one of the mob-souls Urahara made to help with the bounts and Kon was indeed in love with her but couldn't say anything.

"Why would he be in there?" "How do you know that Telsa didn't give him something bad again?" she looked at him for what felt like forever before turning around to walk out, Kon almost reached out to grap her arm and tell her not to leave but dropped his hand and looked away.

Kon sat in a tree that was the perfect place to see the sky at twilight; when it wasn't day but not yet night, he had his MP4 blaring in his ears as he listen to his favorite song - I Will Always Return by Bryan Adams, looking over he saw Rinrin running from some people who looked like the same people that chased Ichigo's little sister Yuzu.

Jumping down from the tree he motioned Rinrin to go behind him, she did, as the guys came up Kon's music changed over to a song that fit his mood, with it still blaring in his ears he asked, clearing pissed off "What are you bastards doing to Rinrin?!" "Relax dude, we just want to mess around" the leader said as he looked at Rinrin with a look that spelt rape.

Kon just got prissier at that look until he punched the guy right square in the jaw, making the guy fly back "I FUCKING SWEAR IF YOU EVER TOUCH RINRIN, ILL KILL YOU!" Rinrin just stared at what Kon said she thought he hated her, just as the leader hit the ground the other four jumped Kon and started to wail on him until Kon jumped up and kicked one of the guys, making him fly back like the leader, he did this with the other two that kept punching and kicking him; then the leader got up with what looked like a broken jaw and took out a gun and shot.

~x~

Since then it was been a week, and Kon was lucky that his MP4 saved his life; when the gun was fired it would of killed him if his MP4 wasn't covering his heart at the time, now he keeps it hanging on his wall reminding himself how he almost died for Rinrin, yet she didn't return his feelings, his thoughts where interrupted by a knock on his door, getting up from his chair in the living room he walked to the door only to open it and see Rinrin.

"Um...I know how your MP4 was destroyed by saving your life so I-I....here" she said pushing a wrapped gift at Kon, with an arched eyebrow he unwrapped it to find a surprise that left him speechless "Wha...an I-phone?!?" "Too much?" she asked smiling a bit "What? No it's fine...wh-where did you get the money for this?" "Ichigo helped

a bit...um well i got to go, Urahara needs me to do some errands" Rinrin said as she turned around, this time Kon did grab her, shocked she turned around to come

face to face with Kon "Urahara can wait" "What?! He said it was important!"

"I LOVE YOU!" the sudden outburst froze Rinrin in mid struggle, as she looked into

his dark eyes that where filled with pleadness. "I love you, Rinrin. I really do, since I first saw you in your gigai, I know I fell hard for you" Rinrin was at a loss for words as it seamed he was getting closer until it happened; Kon kissed her, Rinrin's face went red as she stood there froze against his kiss, until he backed up and looked at her with eyes full of either regret or sadness, not happiness or glowing in a 'haha' kind of way, then with out meaning to she slapped him...hard, across the cheek then stormed off, Kon waited until she was out of sight and picked up her gift and walked inside.

Yet no matter how hard Rinrin tried she couldn't get his face out of her head, she kept seeing his sadden eyes before and after he kissed her, it was almost like he was upset he kissed her, like it was a mistake he didn't want to make; just then lighting flashed, filling her bedroom with light and a crashing sound rang out Rinrin jumped at the sudden noise and that and a knocking noise came from her door, who would be out in a thunder storm?! Getting up and walking to her door she opened it to see Kon standing there...wet to the bone, and a slap mark on his face, and the first thing out of his mouth "I'm sorry!" "What?"

"I shouldn't of kissed you like that. You were right to slap me, I'm sorry" Rinrin didn't know what to say, Kon came all the way to her house, in a thunder storm! Just to say sorry. "No" he looked at her confused "I should be sorry, I shouldn't of slapped yo-" but she was cut off by the crash of thunder and the whole street was a-lit with a bolt of lighting, Kon looked over to see Rinrin shaking in fear.

"H-hey are you scared of thunder storms?" "O-of course not!" yet she jumped when another crash of thunder was heard, shacking his head he turned to leave, but froze when a tug was felt on his arm looking behind him he saw Rinrin holding on to him "Don't leave!" her eyes widen with fear as she look younger in the lit up sky, Kon smiled a bit "Ok, I won't leave".

'Even if Rinrin doesn't return my feelings, this will do, just fine' Kon thought as he looked down at the sleeping Rinrin that was cuddled up next to him in her bed, as long this night never ended he would be happy, yet even though it will he was happy. He finally got to hold her close even for one night he was happy, yet he would leave as soon as the storm was over, so if she woke up she didn't see him in her bed, just then Rinrin shifted closer and mumbled Kon's name, he looked at her before grinning; 'Or maybe I'll just lay here and let sleep drag me under'.

Kon thought as a small smile appeared on his lips as he soon fell asleep, yet just then Rinrin opened her eyes and moved so that she was over the sleeping Kon, then she kissed him "I love you too, Kon" she said quietly before laying back down next to the knocked out Kon, cuddling up to him and soon she too fell asleep to the noise of rain and Kon's breathing.

'Goodnight, Rinrin. I love you' a bigger smile covered Kon's face.
