Urahara Kisuke

Kagome sighed in boredom as she sat on a bench, in the darkened park where she was supposed to meet her lover, after a five year absence. The baka had gone and got himself kicked out of the soul society, she rolled her eyes at that thought, he was always doing something to piss someone off. Herself included, because here she was newly placed in a human body, sitting on a bench alone in a darkened park.

She huffed as she shifted to lay down on the bench to look up at the stars that were slowly starting to come out. She smiled at them in welcoming, how she had missed them, they were one of the few things the soul society lacked, yes they had stars but they lacked in comparison to the ones here in the human realm, plus the ones in the soul society were fake, merely the lost souls of those who had not made in the soul society. Urahara had told her that once, while they were out on a date and ruined the way she viewed them forever.

She smiled as she thought of her wayward lover, while in the soul society they had been engaged to be married, well until he got kicked out for experimenting on the shikon, which had followed her faithfully in death.

He was so excited when he had met her, he knew who and what she was the moment she appeared, freaked out and pissed because she had fallen down her shrine stairs and broken her neck, what a way to go.

Needless to say he wanted to get to know her, one because she was a miko, two she had the shikon, and three he had meet Kikyou when she had passed and was waiting to be reincarnated.

Of course she had flipped a shit, one she had just died! Two she had no idea what was going on. Three he only wanted to get to know her because of her power, status, and…because she was Kikyou's reincarnation.

Yet again she was compared to the woman, yet again she was the copy, in the shadows…the reincarnation. So…she had avoided him like the plague, latching onto Byakuya, who reminded her of Sesshoumaru in an odd way.

She lightly shook her head at the thought of the stoic man, if she didn't know for a fact that Sesshoumaru was still alive she would have thought he was the man, but, she knew better.

Even so it was hard not to compare the two, both were of noble blood, hardened by their responsibilities. Both were cold and stoic, men of few words, yet when they spoke their words held weight. Most importantly both men had taken her under their wing, Sesshoumaru had when Inu Yasha had died in a battle against Naraku, and Byakuya had when she had first arrived, even now they were still close friends.

She smiled, she was going to pay him a visit soon, she missed him, plus she missed his younger sister as well, she heard she was now involved with the brash Ichigo, whom she had seen when they had that horrid scandal a few years back.

At the time she was locked away because she had let Urhahara experiment on the jewel. She rolled her eyes at that, how cliché, lock away the maiden in a tower, she snorted, the bakas.

She was kind of glad Aizen had gotten rid of those stuffy corrupt teme's, it was what allowed her to be freed from her 'tower'. They needed all the man power they could get their hands on, now that they were at war with Aizen and a new enemy that had just recently emerged.

Needless to say being the only miko in existence be it dead or alive her powers were needed, yeah…it was going to be a while before she was reincarnated, anyone for that matter…kind of hard to do when a war was going on.

She blinked when a shadow fell over her and smiled sitting up. "Hello Urara-baka." She smiled as he pouted at her and opened his fan in front of his face.

"Why is that anyway to greet your lover? Let alone someone you haven't seen in years?"

She rolled her eyes at him. "It is when the baka got kicked out of the damn 'country'…I'm surprised you even got my invitation…" She trailed off as he stared at her blankly.

"How could I not? Honestly did you have to paint it on a billboard in front of my shop? 'Urahara my baka love meet me in the park at sun down or I'll hunt you down and beat you. Love your adoring and pissed off fiancé.' The little kiddies were all over me demanding answers."

She rolled her eyes as he plopped on the bench acting as if he had run a marathon and fanned himself. "Do you know how gay you look right now?" She smirked as he let out an angered…squeal? She arched an eyebrow at him. "See what I mean?"

He pouted at her but pulled her to his side his face hidden by his hat. "We have a lot to talk about, to make up for…"

She nodded sighing as she relaxed into him, their playful mood gone. "Can we do it tomorrow? I just want to look at the stars…" She trailed off as he nodded, resting his chin on her head.

"Yeah, tomorrow."

They both smiled lightly as they sat there and enjoyed the stars together for the first time in five years. They were content to just be by the other, it was nice, they had nothing to worry about…until tomorrow, when they would have to face reality and figure out what to do. But that was tomorrow, not today, so they would enjoy their time together now.
