Chapter 11- Had Enough

Sosuke's POV

"Good afternoon Lieutenant Aizen. You're here again to visit Captain Kimura right?" A member of squad four greeted me as I headed towards the medical facility of the barracks.

"Yes I am." I answer quickly as I walk past her and down the hallway to Emiko's room. I was in no mood for her useless chitchat today.

I began to open the door, slowly revealing the still and beautiful body lying beneath the covers of the infirmary bed. I walk into the room letting my feet take me to Emiko's side. I notice her breathing was different, it was quicker than it was yesterday. I gently caress her cheek with my hand feeling that her face was a lot warmer now too. I could easily tell now from after watching her unconscious and sleeping form for the past week that she was finally awake, but why would she hide it?

"Why are you pretending to sleep Emiko?" I whisper bringing my lips closer to her ears. "I've kept visiting you hoping that you'd recover a little more each day. Why are you trying to hide it from me. It's all right to open your eyes for me Emiko." I feel her soft skin graze my lips and couldn't help but smile. I thought that would be enough so she would open her eyes but they remained closed. She's always been so stubborn.

Emiko's POV

"You must remain calm Master. He must not find out the truth about how close you are to being fully healed." Tsumi tried to calm me down, but I was sure it was already over and I had already been found out by Sosuke.

"Maybe we should have a change in our plan Tsumi. Apparently Aizen is smarter and more observant than we anticipated." Sukui begins but before she can continue I feel a slight tingling pressure on my lips. My heart begins to race even more as my eyes snap open.

"Well I guess we have no other choice now." Both of their voices fade as our conversation is forced to an end.

'Now what should I do.' I thought to myself after Sosuke had removed his lips from mine. Now I was truly alone with the man that I was told not to trust, but on the other hand would a man that wants to harm me also be so worried about my well-being. Could the person that has stayed by me through all these hard times really be that bad.

"After not being able to see them for awhile, I'm happy that you finally opened your eyes." Sosuke smiles while pulling me into his arms. His warmth surrounds me making me feel a little better about being with him. I wanted to say something, but I wasn't sure of what to ask him first.

"Where is Kisuke? Is he doing all right after what happened?" I finally decided to ask. As I looked up at him I notice his smile disappear quickly, just as I finished speaking.

"He is doing fine." He answers simply but I can feel his grip around me tighten slightly.

"Well that's good. I'm very glad that he wasn't badly injured." I say trying to wiggle free from his arms. He gets the hint and quickly lets me go causing me fall back into the bed. I watch him walk back over to the door and closes it before he begins to walk back over to me. I grip the sheets in my hands and narrow my eyes at his actions.

"Why is Kisuke Urahara the first person you are worrying about. What about Mayumi Sasaki or Kaori Matsuko." His eyes meet mine as he comes closer to the bed.

"I am worried about them too, but I knew Mayumi was capable of getting herself back safe. I was also certain that Kaori followed the instructions I gave her, she had no other choice." I started to explain, but then stopped as I questioned myself on why I was explaining it to him. "Why does it matter to you Lieutenant Aizen?" I look at him suspiciously and instinctively back up further until I hit the headboard of the bed.

"I think you should already know the reason why Emiko." He finally stops with his body hovering just inches above mine. "I would prefer to have you all to myself without the interference of others." His hand caresses the side of my face in an attempt to bring my face closer to his.

"Don't be silly Aizen. We are just friends and that is how it shall remain." I say removing his hand from my face, but all of the sudden his hand grabs mine as he quickly get on to the bed and hoovers above me. He moves my hands above my head making it harder to get him off.

"What do you think you're doing Aizen!"

"What I have been dreaming of doing for so long. I want to make you mine Emiko." Before I could answer his lips kiss mine once more, this time with more passion and force. I can feel his one hand slowly move down my side and then rest at my waist. His lips finally leave mine as he gazes down at me with an expectant look. I return it with one of confusion and uneasiness. I have already forgotten what I had wanted to say before, speechless I just continue to stare back at Sosuke.

"Have I made my feelings clear enough or do I have to keep going?" Sosuke grins down at me, obviously amused by my silence.

"Don't Sosuke." I finally come to my scenes and speak. "Your one of my closest friends. I don't want to lose you too."

"You're not going to lose me." He whispers taking my hand to hold in his.

"Things are some complicated and confusing things going on right now. I think doing this will just make things worse in the end." I tighten my grip on his hand. "We can be friends, and nothing more." The look in his eyes quickly changes to one of hurt.

"Is that what you really want Emiko, or what your zanpakuto spirits want?" He asks getting up from the bed, walks over to the door and gently rests his hand on the door knob. I look at him surprised.

"What do you mean?" I breathed out before he opens the door and leaves. Once the door was closed and I was alone again tears began to fall from my eyes. I was done and frustrated with holding back my feelings. This is where it has gotten me, why should I try anymore. I'm alone with these feeling of emptiness and darkness.

Darkness. The words Sukui had told me early repeat once more in my head.

"You might even one day become frighten by this darkness, but you should now you will always be welcomed by it Master Emiko." Maybe I should finally just let this darkness fully consume me and swallow me whole.
