The cold wind braced the couple as they walk together through the lonely night streets of Ichigo's hometown, heading to Kurosaki Clinic, where Nel would be staying. For just that short walk, neither uttered a single sound, they only needed the feeling of calmed love which they unanimously felt, walking side by side. Their Unison Marks were glowing in almost harmony of the serenity both felt. To Ichigo's relief, his family was asleep, so he slipped in with her silently, making sure to avoid making a sound to ruin the moment.
The pair slipped into Ichigo's room, and back when the two were traveling to the World of the Living, they had agreed on her staying at Kurosaki Clinic. He was actually the one to suggest that Neliel stayed not only in his home, but also share his room with her, as he felt more at ease with Nel than any other person he had ever encountered. Ichigo and Nel both fell onto the bed simultaneously, exhausted from the extensive amount of travel they had endured throughout the day. "The sheets feel so soft," Ichigo remarked, "But your hand is even softer. I guess everything feels better with you, Nel." A soft, quiet blush formed on her face, as she cuddled into his side, head on his chest. Ichigo wrapped his arms around her body, as Nel softly replied, "I'm so happy, Itsygo. My dreams are finally reality..." She had drifted off into sleep before she could finish what she was saying, as the feeling of the calm warmth only love can bring washing over her body was an unsung lullaby. Ichigo fell victim to the same unsung lullaby almost immediately after his soulmate did, and their Unison Marks danced in the dark, making the moonlight shining into the room through the window appear dim in their brilliant light blue glow.
"Happy morning, Itsygo." Nel had whispered ever so softy to Ichigo. He awakened to her placing a kiss on his lips, and he returned the kiss with the same level of passion she was pouring into her kiss, which surprised Nel since she did not realize he had awoken. "Good morning, Neliel, my angel." The smell of Yuzu's breakfast cuisine was enough to pull both of them from the warmth of the bed, and Nel followed Ichigo downstairs hoping to meet his family. Before Ichigo had placed his foot on the final step, his father yelled "GOOD MORNING ICHIGO!" as he sent a flying kick towards his son, and Ichigo effortlessly caught his dad's foot, and threw his father into the wall on the other side of the room, leaving cracks where he landed. Nel was ready to fight Isshin, but Ichigo told her that he was nothing to fret about.
"Hey Ichigo, who's that behind you?" Yuzu called from the table, curious about this strange woman behind her big brother. "OH WOW SHE'S HOTTTTT!" were the words both Kon and Isshin yelled simultaneously as they gazed upon Neliel's figure. Kon immediately leaped to Nel's chest in hopes of staying there, only to be thrown into the kitchen by Ichigo and land with a loud squeak. "You two, knock it off. Anyway, this is Neliel Tu Odelschvanck, but she goes by Nel. She's my girlfriend, and she'll be staying in my room. Say anything sexual about us, I'll personally punch you through a window." Ichigo remarked, aiming the last portion towards Kon and Isshin.
Yuzu gracefully prepared more of her royalty grade breakfast cuisine, this one dish with a little more care than her ordinary level, as this was Neliel's first impression on her cooking. Nel mentally ascended to the heavens above, brushing gracefully with her first taste of Yuzu's amazing meal, making Neliel instantly her biggest fan. The family, now including the former Tres Espada, finished their meals, and parted ways. Ichigo and Nel headed off to Kurokata high, Yuzu and Karin headed off to their respective school, while Isshin remained at Kurosaki Clinic, eagerly awaiting new patients.
Nel walked in a trance of warm happiness with her Itsygo, never wanting to let go of his rough hand. "Oh, Itsygo, I forgot to tell you something." Nel had mentioned, bringing the couple to a stop alongside the path laid in the grass near the road. "What is it Nel? Did you get Urahara to get you transcripts to the school?" Ichigo was accustomed to this sort of happenings, almost being a normality for new students actually from the soul society to wind up in his classes. "You guessed perfectly, Itsygo. Best thing is, I'm in all your classes, too. How's that sound?"
"Just perfect, Nel." They were in the courtyard of the High school, and they produced a sweet, quick kiss on each other's lips. With a feeling of joy, the two walked into the school, hand in hand.
