The One Who Saved Them All

A/N: KisukexYoruichi fluff :D

Disclamer: If I owned this then the show would be like my story! Is it? NO! -sobs-

"Oh Mayuri-san, come with me please. Nemu-chan, you too!" Kisuke ordered.

"Why should I?!" Mayuri snapped.

"I want to check out my lab and I don't have a key anymore."

"That's not my problem."

"You may be 'taicho' of the 12th division still but your still SECOND president of the Bureau of Technological Development and as such you need to listen to me." Oooh he had them there!

Kisuke looked around his old office. "Something wrong, Urahara-taicho?" Nemu asked.

"NEMU!?" Mayuri gasped.

"Um…I don't think so…" Kisuke answered.

"No one's been here since you left."

"I can tell." He looked at all the dust. "But something feels like it's missing…something important…" He sighed. "Well…alright then. Can I have the key?"

"No."

"Mayuri…" The weirdo sighed.

"FINE! Take it! I don't care! Come, Nemu!"

"Hai…Mayuri-sama," Nemu robotically responded.

They where all given rooms to stay in later that night and Kisuke was STILL troubled. He sat on his futon with one leg curled up to his chest and one stretched out in front of him.

"Can I come in?" a voice asked.

"Since when did you ask permission, Yoruichi?" he asked. The door slid opened and the dark skinned woman walked in.

"Donno but congrats!"

"On?"

"You may be free again, Kisuke!" He smiled.

"If I live." Yoruichi frowned.

"Don't talk like that."

"It's true. Plus I think someone stole something from my office and knowing me it's gonna further our doom." Kisuke motioned for Yoruichi to come and she did. He grabbed on to her waist and pulled her to him so her back was up against his chest.

"We'll be fine. I swear."

"Well…you haven't broken your promises yet…"

"And I won't start now." Kisuke hugged her closer. "Kisuke…?"

"I'm a little scared…" he admitted in a whisper.

"You haven't had a good fight in a while. It's natural."

"That's not the only reason."

"Talk to me." He sighed. This was going to be hard.

"Yoruichi…you're my best friend but…I don't want to be that anymore."

"WHAT?!" she started to turn around but he stopped her.

"Wait! I'm not done! Relax." She was still tense but listened. "I should have said that better…man this is hard. Yoruichi…I'm not a strong man. Maybe when it comes to fighting but in reality I'm weak and pitiful. I don't know if I belong here or in the real world. I've been lost for a since my exile but you got me through it. I may know where my true home is yet but I know where ever it is that it won't be so without you, my best friend." She sat there, taking in his words. "What I'm trying to say is that your friendship is the most important thing to me and I don't want to mess it up but it's hard for a man and a woman to be best friends for so long without someone's feeling evolving into more then friendship and…I've felt like that for a while. I don't want to mess up the best thing I have but I can't go into a battle that I'm not sure I'll live to see the end of without tell you! Yoruichi…I love you!"

Yoruichi started crying. "Kisuke, please don't talk like we're going to die," she sobbed. Kisuke rubbed her back in slow soothing circles.

"I'm sorry." She turned around and looked at him with big teary yellow eyes. He brushed the tears away. "Your so beautiful, even when your so sad."

"Kisuke…!" She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you too! So much for so long! Please don't die during this fight! I almost lost you once. No more…not again…"

(Flashback)

Yoruichi ran as fast as she could to the 12th division taicho's room.

"Be there, be there, be there damn it Kisuke!" she mumbled to herself as she threw the door opened. Everything was gone. "No!"

She felt for his reiatsu and it was near the gate to the real world.

---

She landed in front of Kisuke, panting and teary eyed.

"What the hell is going on?!" she yelled.

"Yoruichi-san…" he gasped.

"What did you do? Why are you leaving?" He looked uncomfortable

"I made something…really stupid. I have to go…and I can't come back." Her eyes winded.

"Then take me with you."

"No."

"YES!"

"You'll lose your title and nobility if you do."

"Fuck that! Kisuke, I need to be with you!" There was a silence.

"I can't ask you to do that for me."

"You didn't."

"If you go…there isn't any turning back."

"I know."

"…Ok…come on."

(Flashback)

"Say with me," he whispered. "Don't leave my side. Not now, not during the battle, not ever. I'll protect you." She nodded.

"And I you." He gently pushed her away from the hug and moved toward she slightly before hesitating. After that momentary flinch he closed the gap between then and kissed her. He pulled back slightly but his lips where still on hers, just with no pressure. He smirked.

"I've wanted to do that for a very long time. It's better then I ever imagined," he whispered and she chuckled.

"Be strong for my, Kisuke."

"I will…somehow."

'Is this what it feels like to belong? I can't remember. Whatever it is, I like it,' Kisuke thought.
