Rukia hummed lightly as she walked through the halls of the hospital. Men were laying in their beds, some missing arms, legs and sometimes even eyes… there was no end to the hundreds of patients. One man whispered something and she turned.

"Ma'am…" she walked over to him and he smiled lightly. He was an older man, maybe in his fourties, and he was missing his right arm.

"Yessir… is there something I can get you?" His left eye was missing as well, it was covered with a bandage tightly. His head nodded slowly.

"A glass of water would be nice… I'm sorry to bother you like this…" he tilted his head lightly.

"It's alright, that's what I'm here for…" The petite woman grinned. "I'll be right back." That was what they were there for. They were there to serve the men who were serving them. Water lashed against the windows to the cement compound as Rukia walked. She smiled as she thought of a joke. They could just hold a glass outside the door to the compound and get some water…

"What are you smiling about?" She heard a voice as she walked over to the water purifier.

"Ichigo…" her eyes dimmed as he rolled himself out from the shadows. He had been sitting there looking out the window as the winds and water slammed themselves into the earth.

"Getting some water for a friend?" He smiled lightly as she felt her body tense lightly. "Or coming to see me?"

"I was doing a vet a favor…" she hissed back.

"Ooch… that smarts… hurts like a bullet wound…" she wanted to slap herself. She had just been an ass to her boyfriend, the man that was sitting in a wheelchair from taking a bullet in the leg. She blushed out of embarrassment and turned to fill the glass with water.

"I'll be right back…"she walked off and Ichigo stared after her and smiled. She was so hot headed.

Sex. It was something beyond words, his lips coated her neck with kisses that seared on her skin and sent her flying through never never land. It was illegal… against regulations for them to be together. It was against regulations for his body to touch hers. But it felt so damn good that neither paid any attention to the rules that bound them.

It was wrong. The feeling of his calloused hands on her skin, his aggressive touches. The scent of his body. The taste of his mouth. Everything about it was wrong. The air around them was filled with musk. The dark scent that their bodies expelled. The scent of lust, of sex.

His breaths were a blessing, just hearing the groans from his mouth made her thankful. His heartbeat was a grace of god, knowing that hers beat in time with his made her breathing hitch. His body was a sin, no man should be as beautiful as he was.

She filled his senses, and for a moment he forgot that he was a soldier in the army during Viet Nam. For a moment he was flying out the United States, looking out the window of an airplane, Rukia sitting next to him. For a moment… his mind went blank and all he could do was feel the woman above him. All he could do was love her… and love her was what he did. He loved her more than anything that he had ever dreamed of.

And that was all that mattered to him… was her.

Uryu folded his arms across his chest as he watched his girlfriend talk with another vet. He wasn't jealous… just a little angry that she had been ignoring him that day. Kazumi smiled lightly at him from across the room. Uryu perked up. She wasn't ignoring him. She walked over and ran a hand along his bed until she sat next to him.

"Have you been ignoring me?" Uryu winked before she kissed him tenderly.

"Yes… you just bother me that much…" her face was angelic, lit up by the lights in the room. The monsoon that continued outside the compound thundered, the lights flickered.

"When are you going to learn?" He smiled as she sat down next to him.

"Whenever you teach me…" her eyes were half lidded. He leaned forward and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Come dancing with me tonight…" he whispered in her ear. She nodded.

"I'll meet you at the bar downtown…" she replied and walked off. Uryu was being released from the hospital that day, the gash that had been carved in the side of his head was now a scar hidden beneath his short hair.

"Got a date tonight huh?" Ichigo lifted an eyebrow as he crutched over. His wheelchair had been replaced by the sturdy metal crutches. Rukia walked behind him slowly, a secret smile on her face.

"Some monsoon out there huh?" Uryu looked out the window. Ichigo looked at Rukia over his shoulder.

"Some monsoon in here huh?" Uryu threw a pen at Ichigo. He chuckled. "Writing to your mom?" Ichigo snatched a letter from Uryu's lap.

"Don't harass the patients Ichigo…" Rukia scolded.

"He's not patient… he's a hard headed intolerant pig…" Ichigo grinned, his jaw jutted out at his best friend. Uryu scowled.

"Gimme that!" He snatched the letter back.

"Spoilsport…" Ichigo smiled. Uryu's face sunk thoughtfully. He knew then… that was the last time he would see Ichigo smile for quite some time. But he wasn't sure why that feeling rushed over him.

"Go away Kurosaki… and get a life!" Uryu shouted as Ichigo crutched off after his girlfriend.

"Ichigo…" Rukia said softly, tracing a circle on his smooth chest, after another one of their secret meetings. He looked down at her then jumped as thunder boomed. It reminded him of a mortar hitting the ground next to him. His hands were shaking as he gripped the cigarette package and shook one out. Rukia took one of his hands as he wrapped his lips around the cigarette. "That's bad for you…" but she knew better. She wasn't going to take it away from him.

"I know dat…" he said through the tobacco stick. His hand cupped the end as he lit it. She sighed, there was no getting through to him. His nervous reaction to the sound of thunder ceased as he drew in on the cigarette.

"I'm leaving…" her voice was soft in the room as rain beat against the window.

"You're what?" He looked down at her. His bush tan was fading slightly. Two months since he had arrived there and his tan was just starting to fade.

"I'm going back state side…" she rested her head in the crook of his neck.

"Oh…" his eyes averted and he looked at a spot on the ground.

"Yes… we're being relieved. We've been here for a year after all…" she whispered again, the rain almost drowning her out. (NPI)

"I see…" the second lieutenant looked straight ahead. At 24 he had his whole life ahead of him, and his whole life was lying next to him. She kissed his neck, sucking on the tender skin.

"I'll wait for you…" she murmured into his ear. He leaned his head over and rested his chin on the top of her head. She saw the cigarette go out and he wrapped his arms around her, curling her body against his.

"I don't want you to have to wait…" He kissed her lips, her cheeks, her jaw, her neck, he kissed the tears that glowed on her cheeks. For the first time since the war had started everything rose to the top. The pain of seeing his friends die, the sickness of seeing his enemies faces and knowing that they have families too. The violence that rose up in his heart and he wanted to kill something with his bare hands, the caution that made him want to hold her close. Suddenly it all boiled over and he desperately attempted to keep his soldier's composure.

"I want you to come back to me… you hear me?" Rukia whispered and he nodded.

"When I get back state side… we'll get married…" he looked into her eyes, the fathomless cerulean eyes that hid her thoughts and made her love so obvious. The sparkling blue that he loved more than life itself… more than anything he could imagine… and he knew… he was going to return to her.

&&&

Uryu's arms wrapped around Kazumi's waist as they kissed, for her, it was like kissing him goodbye when he had left for the war. For him it was like death itself.

"I love you angel…" he muttered as she pressed her forehead to his. She nodded, her pristine blue uniform contrasting against her baby blues.

"I love you too…" tears welled up in her eyes as she stared deep into his eyes.

"Eat and extra pie for me 'kay?" He hugged her to his chest.

"I promise… and then I'll write you a letter about how good it tasted…" she teased through her tears.

"Don't cry angel…" he rubbed her tears away with his thumbs. "I'll see you in a year or so… I promise I'll come back to you…" Uryu kissed her again.

"Rukia!" Ichigo called, looking around for her.

"ICHIGO!" He could hear her, but where was she? The crowd parted as the final boarding call went up.

"Rukia…" he hugged her, kissing her tenderly.

"Ichigo I have to tell you something…" She said hurriedly. Ichigo looked up as a man gripped her arm. The man jerked his head towards the plane.

"All people leaving for the states need to be on the plane right now…" the man said.

"ICHIGO!" Rukia called as she was dragged off. "ICHIGO I'M-P…" the jets started and Ichigo ran after her.

"WHAT?" He shouted back but Uryu caught him as Kazumi waved at them. Rukia sat down next to her and waved to get Ichigo's attention but the plane was moving.

"ICHIGO! ICHIGO!" Rukia shouted through the glass, but he couldn't hear her, and suddenly they were taking off. "I'm pregnant…" she whispered under her breath.
