Kisuke POV

That night I was still working on a way to bring back my friend and Fuku Taicho back to normal. Unohana said there was no change in Hiyori's attitude when she woke up. She was still crying and getting aggressive, Unohana put her into a artificial coma until we find a way to heal her... Mayuri, Sara and I studied the blood samples, but couldn't put our finger on the problem. I did found something out of the ordinary, I managed to extract it from the blood but I couldn't figure was it was, and how to 'kill' it.

I heard a small moan; I turned around to see my temporary Fuku Taicho sleeping in a chair with her head on the counter. Mayuri went to bed, but Sara insisted to stay with me. I stopped what I was doing and came closer to her. I took off my captain's cape and put it on her shoulders. It was particularly cold in the lab that night. She smiled in her sleep and I wondered was she was dreaming about. I brushed away her hair from her face and touched her lips. I was conscious when she was trying to bring me back. I was unconscious at first but I woke up when she was putting her mouth on mine. I put my tongue in her mouth without really knowing what I was doing. I haven't realized what was happening and who it was, but when I opened my eyes, I figured out what happened. My heartbeat ran faster thinking about it. It was curious the feeling was growing inside me when I was with her. I already liked someone and I thought I loved Yoruichi when I was going out with her, but this was different...

I sighed, I had more important to do than figure out my feelings towards my lieutenant... I went back to my microscope to continue examine the bacteria or whatever when I heard Sara yawn behind me. I didn't look at her, thinking she was still sleeping.

''You still awake?'' I heard Sara's voice behind me. I turned around to see her rubbing one sleepy eye with her fist. She was so adorable. Half of her hair was a mess and part of her Hakama was falling of one of her shoulder, revealing a part of her red bra. She stretch and replace her Hakama and my captain's cape on her shoulders. I think she didn't even realize she had it on because when she got up, she tripped on it. I caught her before she could touch the floor.

''Be careful'' I said to her with a smile. She brought on me her lime eyes and I shivered how they were sparkling.

''Do you want some hot tea?'' she asked with a big smile. My heart melted as I nodded with a smile.

She was about to take off my cape but I stopped her.

''It is cold outside, keep it for now.'' I said to her. She nodded and put her arms in the sleeves before leaving the room.

I fell into my chair and continue my work but couldn't focus, so after my tea we went back into our own rooms to sleep.

I took about a month before getting an antidote that wouldn't kill, either Hiyori, Yoruichi nor the others of the second squad. Having Hiyori back in the squad pulled Sara and me a little apart because there wasn't any more good reason to be together anymore. Yes, we saw each other on a regular base, but I still missed her.

Someone knocked on my desk's door.

''Come in!'' I said and I smiled when I saw my lieutenant come in.

''Sara-Chan! What a good surprise!'' I said while opening my arms.

''You drunk? My paper work was due for today, remember?'' She said giving me a big pack of paper. ''I need you to sign them before I deliver them to the first division...''

''Oh, yeah, sure.'' I said without really listening. Sara's presence was more and more disturbing; I couldn't really concentrate on my work when she was around. Plus, she made new friends in the division so I was seeing her only when she brought me papers to sign, or when she came to clean over me or give me tea...

''Urahara-Taicho, you're a mess!'' She said cleaning around me. I looked at her and she put her fists on her hips and bent over me.

''You're the captain of this division and I am the one cleaning after you!'' She said with a severe look half serious. ''I can't believe it that you are this pathetic!'' She finished with a sigh. She stood up and opened an eye with a smile. I smiled back and finished signing the papers.

''You should become my maid'' I said with a smile.

''You crazy?'' She said crossing her arms.

''But you do the job so well!'' I said with a laugh. She looked at me with fake angry eyes that she liked to do.

''Anyways, it is the only times I get to see you!'' I said with a kind smile. She stood there surprised before blushing.

''Well, I have a lot of work to do...'' she said in a small voice.

I smiled and got up. She was very short compared to me and I think that she was kinda feeling over powered by me because her face went red.

''Why don't you take a break this evening and let me take you out for dinner.'' I propose caressing her cheek. Her blush disappeared and a smirk appeared on her face.

''Are you asking me on a date, Taicho?'' She asked me, defying me with her eyes.

She didn't let me answer.

''Well then, come and get me at eight o'clock, don't be late and drop the shinigami uniform!''

''But I'm the captain of the twelfth division!'' I protested with a smile.

''You ain't tonight!'' She replied with a smile, walking towards the door.

I sighed as she turned towards me and I nodded. A big smile appeared on her beautiful face before she disappeared.

I stared at the door for a moment before deciding that Tsukiyumi Sara was really something.

Sara's POV

It was four in the afternoon and my day was essentially finished. I had nothing more to do than get ready for my date. So I went to take a bath. The baths weren't far away from my room, so I put on a bathrobe and went. I slowly put myself in the hot water after untying my hair. I was alone, so I didn't mind to let my hair float on the surface of the water. I stood still for five minutes before washing my long hair with shampoo that smelled like fruits. It took about ten minutes to wash all of my hair alone. I went under the little water fall to rinse all of it before washing my body. Once finished, I walked out of the water. I was about to grab a towel but I stopped in front of a big mirror. It has been a very long time since I look at myself in a mirror; I was forgetting how I looked. My long lavender hair was hiding my private parts and touched my feet. My skin was very pale, fault being inside all day avoiding the sun. I had no scars on me, because I also avoided hard fights and used ambushed my enemies instead of fighting up front. I was one of the rare who doesn't have a scar actually.

I sighed and tied the long part of my hair in a long braid that fell on my right shoulder and finished at my ankle. I put my bathrobe back on and went to my room, avoiding people. I never showed my long hair since it was in a ribbon and I wanted to show it only to Urahara.

My thoughts stopped on him for a minute. It is true that I haven't seen him in a while, but we were so busy. And I made new friends in the division. But when I was in his office earlier, my heart was beating faster, being near him was like a drug, and he always made me laugh. No one could make me smile like he does. I didn't understood what happened to me after Hiyori came back, but I wasn't that happy to give up the post of Fuku-Taicho to her. And being this long apart from Kisuke made me go mad. I was short tempered, but when I was near him, it seemed to all disappear. I shook my head. No, what was I talking about? We are only friends, it is normal for me to miss a good friend like him; he is the one who saved my life after all. I owed him a lot; I mean he gave me back a job and everything.

When I opened the door I screamed out of surprise seeing Shihoin Yoruichi sitting in a chair waiting for me.

''Well, well, you look pretty today, what is the occasion?'' She asked with a smirk on her face.

I quickly bowed infront of her and ignored her question.

''Shihoin-sama! What a surprise!'' I exclaimed keeping my head low.

''Please! Spare me the formalities, we are friends, aren't we?'' She begged out of exasperation. ''Call me Yoruichi.''

''Y-yes Yo-yoruichi-Sama.'' I said very low.

She sighed.

''KIsuke warned me that you didn't give up formalities that easily.''

I stood tall (Okay, I was still very short) and look at her puzzled.

''You did save me of eternal depression with Kisuke and Mayuri; I owe my life to you!'' She added grabbing me by the shoulders.

I smiled and nodded.

''All right then, Yoruichi.'' I said, giving up.

She smiled; proud.

''Anyway, I heard you had a date with Kisuke this evening, am I right?''

She winked at me as I was blushing.

''Wh-what? No! It isn't a date! You must know that some person go out for dinner for business!'' I protested knowing it was very illegal to date my own Taicho.

''Relax, I'm glad actually, glad that Kisuke found you!'' She said looking at me straight in the eye.

''I don't understand.'' I said honestly.

''Your such a sweet girl Sara, not like his other girlfriends.'' She said followed by a wink.

''But Yoruichi-san, you were once his girlfriends...'' I slowly protested with a smile.

''Yeah, well, that was a while ago and, well...'' She posed looking at me. ''Anyhow, I sure hope it will work out between you two.''

I was going to protest saying I didn't have does kind of feelings for Kisuke, but I resign. We never know, maybe someday... No! I can't dream about that now.

''And for how long you two...'' She started with a smirk growing on her face. I stared at her and finally understood what she meant.

''Oh! No, no, no! I'm telling you that we are only friends! I mean; we never...''

As I spoke, her smirk grew and I resigned to continue...

''Come on, let me help you being perfect for Kisuke.'' She finally said stroking my arm..

I sighed and that is how Yoruichi and I became good friends.

She made me tried a lot of dresses until she stopped smiling seeing me in a dark purple dress that was tight in all the right places.

''It is hard to breathe...' I said trying to adjust the dress but Yoruichi stopped me.

''I don't care if you fall unconscious at the end of the night, you are beautiful.'' She said turning around me.

''You think?'' I asked looking down at myself. I never had big breasts, but in this dress, they were 'popping''.

''Kisuke couldn't take his eyes off you.'' She said with a smile followed by a laugh.

But she suddenly stopped hearing an explosion nearby.

'What the-?'' She said rushing out of my room, quickly followed by me. We went to the entrance of our division just in time to see my Taicho fall in front of the new captain Kenpachi Zaraki, our neighbor form the 11th division. My heart stopped seeing Kenpachi with a demonic smile on his face with his eyes glowing red. Something was off; this man wouldn't attack us for any reason. Zaraki walk on top of Kisuke, sword in hand, ready to give his final strike.

''No!'' I screamed running towards my Taicho. Seeing me, Zaraki's eyes glowed even brighter, he charged. I stopped looking at this huge man rushing towards me intending to kill. I was paralyzed by his spiritual pressure because I was afraid and weak by emotion at the moment. But he didn't hurt me, more like he couldn't harm me. Yoruichi flash step behind Zaraki and immobilized him with a ribbon. Everyone from the twelfth division helped her with Zaraki as the other divisions were arriving. But I was already at my Taicho's side. Kenpachi stroke at his chest, leaving a big wrung that was bleeding incredibly fast. He was dying.

''Urahara-Taicho!'' I whispered grabbing his hand. He slightly opened his eyes and smiled.

''You are beautiful Sara-chan.'' He forced himself to say.

''Shh, don't speak keep your strength.'' I said to him, relieved he wasn't dead...yet.

''Again, I was victim from a weird abnormally.'' He said.

''What do you mean?'' I asked.

''It is like Yoruichi's depression, but it took on Zaraki to kill us.'' he said.

I wanted to know more, but he fell unconscious. Unohana arrived with her team and brought Kisuke to the hospital. I followed them, staying at my Taicho's side until Isane forced me to sit down in the waiting room where I waited. I waited and waited. The hour that I waited seemed like eternity before Unohana came out of the room. I stood up, my eyes full of hope.

''Don't worry, he is stabilized, he is resting.'' She said putting her hands on my shoulders.

''Can I go see him?'' I asked feeling my legs shake under me.

She hesitated but nodded with a smile. I past beside of her and walked in the room.

My heart pinched, he was plugged into multiple machines to keep him alive. His torso was covered by bandages but the wound seemed to be healed. Tears flowed on my cheeks as I was getting closer to sit next to him.

''Urahara-Taicho...'' I slowly whispered as I was sitting on the chair next to him.

I looked at his sleeping face and went down his torso and stopped on his hand. I slowly reached for it with my own hand and touched him. He didn't reacted, so I tooked his hand with both of mine.

''You are here because you were protecting me, right?'' I said as the emotion was growing bigger. ''Zaraki wanted me, right? And you protected me?''

I stopped and pulled back my cries.

''Does that mean, if I stay close to you, you will eventually get killed?'' I managed to say.

I put my head to the bed and close my eyes. I couldn't help myself to fall asleep.
