"You may have tried to weaken us. You may have tried to pull us apart. But this bond, this rinji kenpei, has brought us closer than ever. We will stand for justice, and, as dragons, we will not be swayed and defeated as easily as you may think. With this bond, we cannot fail. I no longer believe in only myself. I believe in him, who believes in me." –Satoshi Sakana
Yayz… almost over… this fanfic has taken over my life… xP I dunno why I wrote this the way I did… and I needed someone to fill in Sakana's vice-captain position.
Also, my sight has officially gotten worse. Even now, when I'm typing, I have to have it up to 130 percent because I type this in size 9 Verdana font. I used to be able to read it like that at 100% a few months ago… T.T I need new glasses. I need a job… /sob/
Inspiration: currently watching bleach episode 130… wow, Rangiku would make a great mom xD and my friend Mandi gave me the idea for the "getting out of the captain's meeting" xD
Chapter Rating: PG-17

Chapter 14: Epilogue
Ichigo yawned tiredly as he went to the office. He had just gotten from school, and he was dead tired, even though he had spent half of the day sleeping. He ruffled his bright orange hair, wanting to get the day's paperwork done so he could sleep on the couch. His half-closed eyes widened slightly as he heard something from the other side of the door.
"Mm… that feels great…"
"Heh. Feels good, doesn't it?"
"…that sounds like Toshiro…" Ichigo thought.
"Oh, god, yes… mmgh… amazing, even…"
"Thanks."
"Ah… little to the left…"
Ichigo raised an eyebrow. Sakana was in there, and so was Toshiro. What was going on?
"A little harder, Shiro-kun. Ah, right there! Haaa…ahahaha……"
"How's that?"
"Perfect. Don't stop, this feels great…"
Ichigo took a few steps away from the door with a mortified look on his face. "W-what the hell is going on?! M-Maybe I should just go back…"
"Oh…nnnggghhh… yes… ouch, you're hurting me…"
"Oh, sorry…"
"T-to the right! Yes! Ah, Toshiro…"
Steeling himself, Ichigo threw the office door open, a mortified look on his face. He opened his mouth to tell the two captains off for their actions when he took a good look at them.
Sakana was lying on her stomach on the couch, her haori on the arm. She seemed very relaxed, her right arm and leg hanging off of the couch. Toshiro had his knee on the couch to support himself. His hands were on Sakana's shoulders. Both were fully clothed and very confused.
"Hello, Kurosaki." Toshiro said, inwardly laughing at Ichigo's silly expression.
"W-w-w…what the hell?!" Ichigo exploded. Sakana let out a chuckle and pushed herself up onto her elbows.
"Toshiro was giving me a massage. He's pretty good at it." She said. Ichigo glared at the captains, and they looked back at him innocently.
"Y-You… You know what? I'm leaving." Ichigo said, throwing his arms up in the air. He turned on his heel and left, shunpo'ing off. Sakana giggled and Toshiro let out a snort.
"Kurosaki can certainly be an idiot sometimes." Toshiro said. He straddled Sakana, kissing her neck and ears. Sakana giggled, blushing slightly.
"Yes, he can be, but he's the best vice-captain I've ever had."
It had been a year since the end of the Winter War. After most of the Shinigami were back in their divisions, it was time to fill empty spots. Hana became the new ninth division captain after being nominated by Sakana. Gin returned to his position of third division captain, to the delight of Izuru and his division, and to the disgust of others.
Ichigo filled the position of 14th division lieutenant, being the only Shinigami in existence to receive such a ranking without officially joining the court guard squads. After much contemplation (and dangerous talks with one Kuchiki clan leader), Rukia became the new 13th squad lieutenant. Ukitake still shuddered when walking past the Kuchiki, afraid for what would happen if something were to happen to Rukia. The only division without a vice-captain was the fifth; they finally gave up on Hinamori ever returning; after she had disappeared in the war, no one had seen her again. They stopped caring about it.
A lot of bonds were formed. Amaya and Ukitake finally started dating since they had loved each other for years. Rangiku and Gin had become closer friends than ever after Rangiku lectured (and abused) Gin for four hours on suddenly leaving them like he did. Afterwards Gin walked around with a black eye, cuts, and bruises all over, smiling sheepishly and apologizing to anyone in his path. Hana had come closer to Byakuya (in more ways than one), and could be seen hanging out around the sixth division sometimes.
After the war, the Soul Society had changed, a lot for the better, unknown for the worse.
"Crap, we have a meeting." Sakana grumbled, pushing Toshiro off of her. Toshiro smiled and gently kissed her neck, forcing Sakana to push down a moan.
"We can always… skip it."
A mischievous look sparkled in Sakana's eyes, "Amaya has a great new idea that could get all four of us out of there. C'mon, we'll be out in ten minutes."
In the captain's meeting, Sakana looked like she was sleeping on her feet. Toshiro kept looking from Amaya to Ukitake to Sakana, who were looking at each other, mostly at Ukitake. About ten minutes into the meeting, Ukitake started coughing.
"Gufwua cough cough cough…" Ukitake coughed violently. Sakana went across the hall and patted Ukitake on the back. He coughed into the sleeve of his haori. When he moved the cloth away from his mouth, there was blood on it.
"Ugh…" Ukitake said, a faint blush on his face. Without warning, the captain collapsed in a cold faint. Sakana grunted as the weight of the captain landed on her.
"Ouch!"
Amaya (and Toshiro, when he was secretly gestured at) ran up, helping Sakana hold up the ill captain.
"Uh, Soutaichou, if you don't mind, we'll take Ukitake-taichou to the fourth division." Sakana said, carefully taking the blood-soaked (sorta) haori off of Ukitake. Yamamoto blinked, but nodded.
"Make sure he gets rest."
As Toshiro and Amaya carried the sick captain out of the hall, Sakana bowed gratefully to the head captain and ran after them with the haori.
Once they were a good distance away from the meeting hall, Sakana grinned.
"Nice performance, Uki-kun."
Toshiro blinked as Ukitake squirmed in their grasp. They carefully set the captain upright, who wiped his mouth. Toshiro's mouth was agape, his eyes widened in surprise.
"But… you… huuuuh?!" he said, confused. Sakana shook out the haori, wiping the red blood off.
"Ketchup." Ukitake said, pulling a tide pen from the depths of his Shikakushou and rubbing it over the ketchup stain. Soon it disappeared.
"We definitely can't do that very often, or Ukitake will stress out his lungs." Sakana said, hi-fiving her best friend. Amaya grinned.
"I'm brilliant, aren't I?"
"So Ukitake faked a coughing attack just so all of us could get out of the meeting?" Toshiro raised an eyebrow at Ukitake, "I can't see you as someone who plays hooky, Ukitake."
"Well, there's stuff…" he trailed off, picking up Amaya, who giggled as they shunpo'ed off, leaving the two captains standing there.
"Better get going before Yama-jii realizes we're not at the fourth division." Sakana said, taking Toshiro's hand. Toshiro kissed Sakana on the cheek, and she smiled.
"Love you." He whispered.
A few minutes later they found themselves in the fourteenth division garden; more specifically, Sakana's private garden. They lay at the pond's edge, cuddled in each other's arms.
"This was the best idea ever."
"Hmm." Toshiro mumbled, gently kissing Sakana's neck once again. She didn't hold back, and let out a breathy moan.
"Haa…"
Toshiro got on top of Sakana, straddling her, with his ever-so-sexy smirk on his face. Sakana blushed a little and giggled, sitting up slightly to kiss his lips.
xXxXxX LEMON STARTS HERE XxXxXx
Toshiro leaned down, relishing in Sakana's beauty, dipping his tongue into her mouth. Sakana moaned into his mouth, and Toshiro left her mouth, leaving butterfly kisses on her forehead and eyes. Within a minute, both were undressed, lying together in the secluded garden.
Toshiro, for once, did not try to tease his princess, at least, not a lot. He licked her lips as he felt her clit, which was wet. With a smirk, he kissed her eyelids that covered her glazed reddish-brown eyes. As he moved his tongue down to her opening, she moaned, her hips arching off the bed.
"Mmm…"
He contented himself with leaving kisses on the inside of her thighs as he thrust two fingers into her. He decided he would break his promise of not teasing her and stroked the area around that special spot, causing her to let out a half-moan, half-growl of frustration.
"Toshiro… you…"
"I what?" he smirked, thrusting against that spot. She jolted, her eyes flickering shut as a jolt, like a feeling of electricity, went through her. She growled and reached down to slap Toshiro upside his head (think: DiNozzo slap XD), but her hand dropped back to the ground as he stroked that spot again.
"…You… are annoying… mm…"
"Oh, stop. You know you love it, and you love me." Toshiro said, kissing her down there one last time before returning to her lips. Sakana spread her legs wide, and Toshiro kissed her as he thrust into her.
"Ah…"
Toshiro moved slowly at first, teasing her. She had felt slight pain, but it had soon numbed, leaving only an intense feeling of pleasure behind. She moaned and bucked her hips up, wanting him to go faster, wanting more. Instead, Toshiro kissed the mark that he had left a year ago, and the jolt of electricity that accompanied the kiss shot through her.
"Ah! Toshiro…"
Toshiro couldn't hold himself back anymore, so he began to pick up speed, thrusting into the tight cavern. As the pounding got more frenzied and rough, lust-filled moans echoed around the garden. Briefly Sakana was grateful that nobody even bothered to come close to the garden at this time of day, but her thoughts were put on hold as Toshiro continued to fill her. Her reddish-brown, glazed eyes were shut with the sensation, the red-hot, passionate heat coursing through their bodies.
"Ngh…! Shiro… harder…I …god…"
"Ah…so… good…"
The two couldn't even form complete sentences as they continued in their frenzy, their pleasure-filled world. Toshiro grabbed Sakana's hip, plunging into her at an erratic pace. As his spicy lover writhed underneath him, he felt her body begin to tighten around his erection, and knew that release was not far behind. Sakana shook her head, her lithe body trembling underneath him, whimpering and moaning at ever mood he made.
"Toshiro…I'm gonna…"
Without warning, he slammed into her, biting down where the mark before had began to fade. Sakana's entire body tensed as she came, screaming his name into the sky. Toshiro groaned as her body tightened around him, bringing his release to him. With one last thrust into the tight cavern, he came, moaning out her name.
xXxXxX LEMON ENDS HERE XxXxXx
As they laid together, plastered next to each other's hot, sweaty body, they stayed like that, their harsh breathing echoing around the garden. As Toshiro carefully unwrapped his arms from around Sakana, he realized that he was still inside of her, who was too tired to even move. As he gently withdrew from her, he heard her squeak quietly, that adorable noise that she only made when they made love. It was another many moments before their fried brains were able to comprehend the noise that was occurring outside.
"Try the garden, taichou likes to go there to think and relax sometimes. It's her private garden… right here. Be careful, Kurosaki-san."
"Thanks."
Their eyes widened as Ichigo's footsteps came closer. Disobeying their aching muscles, they grabbed their clothes and looked for the closest hiding place.
"There's nowhere to hide…" Sakana mumbled. Toshiro looked behind them.
"The pond."
"Huh?!" Sakana exclaimed as Toshiro pulled them into the pond. Sakana managed to get a breath of air before being completely submerged in the pond.
Ichigo looked around the garden. It was very well-maintained; it showed that Sakana cared a lot about the flowers. There was a pond, with a few lily pads floating in it. The area next to the pond was trampled, like someone had been there.
"Hm… I guess she isn't here…" Ichigo said, turning around and leaving the garden. He was thoroughly confused to where the captain had disappeared off to.
As soon as Ichigo was out of range, both of them surfaced, gasping for air.
"That…was close…" Toshiro gasped as he pulled himself from the pond. He began to pull on his clothes as Sakana wrung out hers.
"Great, now our clothes are wet."
"Well, they were going to be anyways. Now we smell like pond water. It's the perfect disguise." Toshiro said.
"You… are getting more devious lately."
"I learn from the best." Toshiro kissed Sakana, brushing her soaking wet hair from her eyes as she put on her clothes. She groaned as she pulled on her soaking haori.
"We should probably get back to the meeting…"
XxXxXx XxXxXx
"Hey, we're back." Sakana said, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. All of the other captains stared at the two soaking wet captains.
"…may I ask, WHY you are soaking wet?" Yamamoto asked, eyebrow raised.
"Hehe… funny story actually… we were on our way back when I remembered I forgot something in my garden… and I accidentally fell in the pond… that thing is a lot deeper than it looks…Toshiro had to go in and fish me out since a thing of seaweed was wrapped around my foot…" Sakana chuckled. Yamamoto shook his head.
"I see no need to continue this meeting. You are dismissed." He sighed.
As they all filed out of the meeting, Shunsui slapped his daughter on the back.
"Nice excuse. One question though: where's your glasses?" He asked.
Sakana blinked. Her eyesight was still messed up from the war, so she wore glasses until she could get contacts ordered. She rubbed her eyes staring at Yamamoto. He wasn't fuzzy, like he usually was, but quite clear.
"…huh." Sakana muttered, not really understanding.
Shunsui smiled and left for his division, so he could sleep some more before he was forced to do his paperwork.
Sakana smiled and threw an arm around Toshiro, "C'mon, we better change into some dry clothes." She said. Toshiro nodded.
"Yeah."
Before they left, Yamamoto went past them. Their eyes widened as he heard what he said as he passed.
"Only one person needed to go with Juushiro. If you were going to do that, you could have just skipped the meeting. And I sent Kurosaki to look for you in your garden."
The two captains stared at each other, and then at the old man's retreating back.
"Shit…" Sakana said.
Yamamoto controlled his laughter until he got to his division. "Hohoho… it was a good idea, nonetheless." He said, watching the two mortified taichou trudge off to their divisions to get dressed.
Toshiro glanced back to see Yamamoto watching them from his window. "Damn. Okay, next time, we're just going to have Shunsui take notes and skip the meeting."
"Haha, fat chance. Shunsui? Take notes? Hilarious." Sakana laughed. She wrapped her arms around Toshiro, wincing as she did so, and gave him a kiss.
Love had a funny way of working out for them, the two young captains of the Soul Society. Their bond was fueled by love, and as long as they had each other, they would never be pulled apart or broken.
XxXxXx XxXxXx
Meanwhile, in a place only seen by beings with high reiatsu, stood a young woman and a pale man. The young woman held in her arms a sword with a green hilt, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Why…"
"I will help you in your plan. With luck, it will bring him back." The man said, looking out into the rain that poured in Karakura Town. The young woman hugged the sword to her, brushing dirt off the sheath.
"Aizen-sama… I will avenge you." She whispered, "I'll kill Toshiro, and her." She said it with a hiss, venom clear in her voice. She turned around, walking back into the building.
"C'mon, Ulquiorra, let's get to work."
"Hai, Hinamori-san." Ulquiorra said, following her into the building and closing the door behind him. (Note: NO LEMON 4 U! xP)
XxXxXx XxXxXx
Thus ends the longest fanfic I have ever written.
Sorry for the crappy ending, I just wanted to end this finally. And there's a spoiler for the sequel xD yes, Ulquiorra didn't die. That will be explained in the sequel, which I don't have a title for, yet.
I started this fanfic around this time last year, I think. It was sometime last year, when I dreamed up this idea while taking a shower (like all of my inspirations lol). I didn't think it would turn into this, though. I knew I wanted to leave at least Hinamori alive, and then my friend begged me to leave Ulquiorra alive. So I eventually broke down and decided he too would live.
The sequel, I know, is going to start around some soul reapers snowing unorthodox symptoms and attacking other Soul Reapers. (Think Quarantine, cuz that's where I got the inspiration from xD) Hinamori managed to create a small parasite hollow that takes over parts of the Soul Reaper's conscious, causing them to rampage. Eventually it's all part of a plan, but I'm going to stop right now so I don't spoil anything.
Well, as the summer draws to a close (since band camp starts soon), so does this fanfic. Finally.
Shunsui: haha, like sand through an hourglass, so is the end of this fanfic!
Me: SHUNSUI! Shut it! (DiNozzo slap)
Shunsui: kawaii TEFA-chan! (glomp)
Me: Uh, it's TEPHA now. MattsyKun Teh Epic Phail Alchemist. I changed it xD
Well, thanks for reviewing, and adding to favorites, and story alerts! See ya in the sequel! (waves)
