Ichigo, Rukia, Renji and Byakuya sat in the Sixth Squad Barracks talking amongst themselves. "Rukia your friends with Yashiro and you didn't know about her abilities? " Ichigo asked as Rukia nodded. "Rukia would not have been able to tell, not even her own Captain knew of her reiatsu, it's doubtful Rukia would know unless she was told. "

Byakuya stated taking a sip of his tea as he signed up papers at his desk.

"Captain is right I've talked to her a couple times to and I never picked up on any kind of unnatural spiritual pressure. " Renji stated.

Ichigo snorted. "That wouldn't be surprising. "

"What did you say you stupid strawberry!" Renji said getting up in his face.

"Nothing your stupid pineapple brain would be able to understand." He fired back as they both glare at each other. Rukia let out an annoyed sigh.

"Idiots."

They all turned the sound of a knock on the door.

"Captain Kuchiki, I have some information from the Head Captain. May I come in? "

"You may. " Byakuya answered as Ukitake slid open the door.

Rukia stood up.

"Taicho, what's the news? "

"The orders were to send Yashiro to the Human World for the time being with the assistance of Kisuke, he could provide a gigai for Yashiro for her to stay hidden. It seems like it's the safest bet for her right now. With all the changes going on at the Soul Society we won't be able to properly monitor Yashiro so he has chosen a selected few who will be accompanying her. "

Rukia nodded as Ukitake handed her a paper with information.

"She will need a place to stay, a house has been provided not to far away from Kisuke's that she will reside in. We understand that Ichigo has limited accommodations at his house. " Ukitake said turning to the said strawberry with a smile.

"About time to I'm tired of all you freeloaders staying at my house. " Ichigo said as he stood up stretching his arms.

"So who's coming? " Renji said peeking over her shoulder as he watched the paper.

"Well I'll be off I trust you will tell Yashiro the news, she was a little busy before but you all are supposed to be leaving tomorrow. " Ukitake gave a wave as he left

~With Yashiro~

Yashiro was still at Hanataro's bed side just staring at the sleeping male.

She smiled excitedly when he had started to stir in his sleep waking up.

"How long was I out for, did something happen? " Yashiro shook her head at the dazed boy laughing lightly as a blush formed on her cheeks.

"S-sorry about that it was my fault." she apologized bashfully scratching her chin embarrassed.

"Damn it I kissed him out of impulse, I really should have thought this over before making such a bold move. What if he doesn't... feel the same way. "

She looked up contemplating her next move. Hanataro was rambling about something she couldn't make out. He didn't seem to remember what happened, she sighed inwardly.

"And the next thing I know your kissing me crazy dream right? " Yashiro's eyes widened at the last part as Hanataro simply laughed it off. She shut her eyes mustering all the courage she had.

"It wasn't a dream Hanataro. "

He froze tilting his head to the side in confusion.

"W-Wha-" Yashiro grabbed his hand staring into his eyes.

"I-It really happened, I've liked you for a long time Hanataro."

He was speechless. For a second she was worried he would faint again but he just bent his head placing a hand on his forehead.

"I-I don't understand you... I'm not strong or very brave their a million other reapers you could choose from... " Yashiro's eyes hardened as she grabbed him by his collar forcing him to look her dead in the eye.

"Would you cut the crap already, who cares if your not super strong or brave... I've seen how amazingly kind you are, how you look after your friends even if there isn't much you can do. When Rukia was gonna be executed you stood against a Captain far stronger than you and I admire that. W-When we were kids you were the first to approach me without fear in your eyes."

Hanataro had just been staring at her in awe as she spoke.

"You were the first to look at me like a person. I'll never forget that. " Yashiro finished with a smile. Throughout her speech her hands had loosened slightly around his collar. She released him completely when she realized how close they had been.

"I-I should probably get going I h-have somethi-" she stopped short when Hanataro held her hand in his giving her a smile.

"I'm glad I met you Yashi-san. " Yashiro blushed at the nickname he used. He had often called her that when they were younger.

"W-What's with the nickname all of a sudden you caught me off guard." Yashiro stammered blushing as she looked off to the side with a pout.

Hanataro simply smiled laughing at how easily she seemed to get flustered around him. He had a very difficult time believing such a strong female could be so vulnerable around him.

He blinked for a second.

"That's right she's only this way around me... "

The thought brought a sense of pride knowing he was responsible for her adorable reactions.

Yashiro looked up as he laced her fingers with his. "Can we try that again? "

She flushed "T-try what a-again?"

Hanataro simply smiled tugging her a little closer as Yashiro continued to blush.

"You really caught me off guard before, but I'm ready now, so let's try again. "

His smile was brighter than before if possible. Yashiro was pleasantly stunned she had expected him to be more embarrassed about something like that but she seemed to be the only one turning red. She hadn't answered causing Hanataro to become slightly worried.

"U-Unless you don't want to I-I'd understand I don't want to do anything to make you uncomfortable or anythi-"

"I want to! " She yelled suddenly catching the male off guard.

She looked off to the side bashfully at how loud she had said it.

"I-I just didn't expect you to be so f-forward about it b-but I really want to. " Yashiro murmured looking down at her lap unable to stop the heat that rose to her cheeks.

"T-This is so embarrassing, why does he have to be so cute about everything! "

Hanataro smiled slightly as he sat up straighter moving closer to Yashiro. She stared at him nervously swallowing a lump in her throat as he got closer, she held their entwined fingers a little tighter as he started to close the distance between them. He was just a hairline away as he stared at her through hooded blue eyes.

"A-Are you sure this is okay Yashiro... " he whispered softly, his breath wafting over her face causing her pulse to race.

She gave a small nod her other hand moving to his chest as her fist clenched into his black robes.

His lips met hers warm and welcoming causing Yashiro to let out a content sigh. Hanataro's free hand was laying gingerly on her cheek. His heart was pounding in his chest at the feeling of her so close. He had never imagined this would happen albeit he had feelings for the orange haired female but he was always too afraid to voice his thoughts in fear of losing her completely.

A small gasp escaped her lips when she felt him lightly nibble on her lower lip asking for entrance. She opened her mouth slightly unsure and inexperienced but delightfully shocked at how skillfully Hanataro mapped out every inch of her mouth with his tongue.

She had started to squirm lightly about to pull away for a breath. He laced his fingers in her orange tresses and deepened the kiss. A moan erupted in her throat as he continued to surprise her with his tongue.

"Hanataro... "

Her legs were trembling.

Finally pulling away Yashiro's head slumped against his shoulder as she tried to catch her breathe cheeks thoroughly flushed from their session. She peeked up to look at Hanataro who had a small tint of red on his cheeks but wore a smile seemingly pleased with his actions.

"Where did he learn to do t-that I always took him for a little innocent boy but I guess I was wrong. "

"I -I hope that was okay. " Hanataro said nervously as he scratched his head. He was slightly out of breath to the effects of the kiss shown on his face.

"I-It was amazing, I didn't know you were so good at this kinda stuff.. " She said looking off to the side. He blinked smiling cheerfully.

"Neither did I, I'm just glad you enjoyed it. " He gushed in such a happy tone as if he were talking about playing at the beach or something.

She stared up at him in wonder biting her lip lightly.

"He looked so hot with his eyes hooded before, I almost didn't recognize him... "

She smirked without warning she pushed him back against the bed pinning him in place as he stared back at her in shock.

"It's my turn. " she laughed advancing on him like he was a piece of meat she was gonna devour.

"W-Wait Yashiro I-I really think we should do this in a m-more private place. "

Yashiro's eyes glint evilly as she grabbed the front of his robes opening it slightly to expose the skin underneath.

"Quit worrying Unohana-taicho knows your resting and I'm looking after you no one's gonna catch us, now sit still. She continuously tugging at his robes as he squirmed under her. Hanataro flailed around trying to escape her. "I-I really don't t-think-"

Both reapers were startled when the door slid open suddenly, a familiar raven haired female walking in.

"Yashiro-san we have to leave for... " Rukia's eyes widened at the scene before her a small trail of blood dripped down her nose. Ichigo and Renji stood at the door staring in shock.

Yashiro hands were on Hanataro's bare chest as he lay below. They were in very compromising position to say the least.

"I-Its not what it looks like! " Hanataro exclaimed embarrassed as they three of them continued to stare.

After the incident both reapers were embarrassed to say the least. Yashiro's eyes had turned serious when she read the paper.

"Head Captain ordered this ?" she questioned eyes still trained on the paper.

Rukia nodded. "This is the only way we can guarantee your safety."

"I must get ready for tomorrow, we will meet you at the gate. " Rukia said dismissively leaving with Ichigo and Renji. When the door shut Yashiro sat up with a solemn look on her face.

"It's alright you won't be gone for that long I'm sure if it. " Hanataro assured suppourtively. Although he sounded cheerful he was far from it.

"I've finally been able to tell him how I feel and now they're sending me to the World of The Living. "

She let out a long sigh looking over at Hanataro.

"I-I know it's to protect me b-but I was really hoping to spend some more time with you Hanataro. "

Yashiro forced a smile. Hanataro had seen right through it. He took her hand in his placing it over his heart as he smiled. "I'm not going anywhere Yashiro, I'll be here when you get back. "

She stared at him her blue eyes watering slightly.

"Damn it why am I crying it's not like we're not gonna see each other again. " She sighed wiping at her teary eyes slapping her cheeks a couple times.

Hanataro smiled as he placed a hand on her cheek catching her attention as he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Her cheeks flushed at the contact still a little shy.

She was pleasantly surprised when his lips came in contact with her cheek and then her neck.

She shivered slightly at the feel of his breath wafting over her pulse.

"H-Hanataro... " a soft murmur left her lips as she closed her eyes clenching the sheets between her fingers.

This was almost alarming, Hanataro always seemed like the type who would shy away from intimacy, yet he seemed to be pretty skilled in it.

She gasped when his teeth brushed her throat as he placed another kiss at the base of her neck.

"Damn... looks really can be deceiving. " She concluded trying to calm her rapidly beating heart.

Her eyes widened slightly when he had pushed her down lightly, mirroring the position she had locked him in previously.

Her breath caught in her throat when she looked back at his eyes, the once bright navy blue eyes seemed to have gotten darker almost black color. Hanataro wore such a predatory gaze making butterflies explode in her stomach.

"Yashi-san, if your not comfortable with this I'll stop... " he whispered in a soft tone. She was shocked at how nervous he sounded. His eyes were betraying his words.

"I-Its ok I don't mind... I trust you Taro-kun" Yashiro said shyly hitting a nerve as a blush broke out on his face.

His hands we're on either sides of her head. Her orange hair was sprawled all over the bed under her. Hanataro leaned down placing another hot kiss on her neck causing her to squirm as she closed her eyes gripping the sheets tighter, her body trembling softly.

She bit her lip trying not to make too much noise that would draw attention. Hanataro continued to feather her neck with kisses as she muffled the noises threatening to escape.

Her eyes shot open when his lips landed on her ear nibbling softly. She cried out in pleasure startling the navy haired reaper.

Hanataro moved back looking at her. Yashiro placed a hand over her mouth blushing wildly.

"S-sorry b-but that's a really sensitive spot. " He shook his head with a smile. "It's alright you sounded really cute. " She turned away still blushing heavily as she took slow breaths trying to get her heart rate down.

Hanataro stared at her curiously. Some of the males in other squads had talked about a women's soft spots but he had never believed it to be true nor did he really care for that. He'd never truly liked the way some of the reapers talked about women as if they were toys but never confronted any in fear of getting beaten.

Her chest heaved up and down cheeks thoroughly flushed.

"S-stop staring at me like t-that Hanataro... " She mumbled knocking the male out of his daze.

Yashiro was looking off to the side avoiding all eye contact biting her lips. Hanataro blinked before another radiant smile broke out on his lips. " I like you Yashiro. "

She blushed looking up at him.

"I-I like you too Hanataro. " she replied fiddling nervously with her fingers.

Hanataro laughed lightly at her reactions. "For someone with so much strength she sure is adorable. " He stared back at her with a loving smile.
