Sara's POV
When we arrived to the first division, the gate was already open and we all followed our Captain. Boys from the first division turned their heads towards me and stared. I felt naked under their looks. As if they could see right threw me. I silently sweared that I was wearing a spaghetti sleeved dress with a moderate low-cut where my breasts were popping. Suddenly I felt a burning look staring at me ferocily. I slightly turned my head to see a specific Shinigami with his friend Hulk beside of him. I had a slight panic attack. I figured out who would be my enemy in the soul society was, even though I should be the one holding a grudge. Urahara saw that something was up.
''Sara-chan, is everything okay?'' He asked me.
I quickly looked at him and turned back to the man, but he disappeared. I stopped.
''Sara?'' Kisuke insisted.
''What? Oh, nothing, I thought I saw someone I knew.'' I lied. To convince him I shook my head and smiled. It was pitiful but he swallowed it... for now at least.
When we walked in, I was amazed how the 'blazer' decoration had change for an icy party. I wasn't expecting to see an earthly music player.
''Is that what humans call jazz?'' I asked my Taicho.
''I think that humans are having good taste.'' Declared a voice behind us.
It was Shinji Hirako. Everyone knew he had a soft side for music.
''Hirako-Taicho'' I said with a slight bow.
''Don't need to be so formal, it is a special occasion.'' he said. ''Besides, you are way too beautiful for it.'' I felt my cheeks burn with a strong blush.
''Lucky for me that she is my lieutenant.'' Said Urahara with a chuckle. My blush grew harder as I turned to him.
''Wh-what!'' I shouted.
''Your so cute when you are angry Sara-chan.'' Kisuke answered with a laugh this time.
I was about to reply but a silence dropped on the room. We all turned to the entrance to see a beautiful dress-up Yoruichi. I heard Kisuke gasped along with most men. She was wearing a one sleeved red dress. It was a long dress that cutted on her right leg to the hip, revealing a maybe very sexy lingerie. She had leather black high healed boots. I felt a chuckle that was about to run out of my mouth but I held it in. I guess that Yoruichi decided to expose her disagreement of the beauty contest. She walked towards us followed by Soi Fon who seemed very embarassed by her Taicho. The fukutaicho of the second division was wearing a black and white kimono with a yellow ribbon to hold it all together.
''So, Kisuke, what do you think?'' She asked walking right past me.
''I like your way to express yourself.'' He let go with a sigh and a smile.
He offered his arm to his bestfriend and walked away.
''Well that wasn't very polite.'' Said a familiar voice behind me.
''Kyouraku-Taicho!'' I exclaimed, happy to see him. His eyes looked me from bottom to top.
''You are gorgeous Sara-Chan.'' He said with the same expression that Kisuke had for Yoruichi.
I smiled, touched.
''It is surprising that every time things go wrong, you show up.'' I said thankful.
He smooth his half shave beard.
''If you dislike me doing that, I can stop if you wish.''
''No!'' I said stroking his arm. ''Actually, I appreciate it.''
''Can I please have your attention!''
I turned around to see the captain commander on a sort of stage. Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to the great man.
''Like every year before this one, Christmas is the only tradition that we shinigami hold to have a break, so please, enjoy yourselves.'' He finished by opening his arms. At the same moment everyone clapped and the music started.
''May I have this dance?'' Asked Shunsui in my ear.
''Wh-what?'' I said turning back to him. ''But, no, I don't dance.''
''Well, today you do!'' He said with a smirk on his face. He pulled me by the hand to the center of the dance floor. Everyone turned to us. I tried walked away but the captain of the 8th division pulled me closer to him by holding me with his left arm around my waist and held my right hand into his.
''Don't worry.'' He whispered in my ear. ''Just follow my lead.''
The music changed for a more rhythmic one and Shunsui jump into the beat.
We were swiping the floor like crazy, I had no idea what I was doing but I abandon myself completely to him. It was reassuring feeling to be in his arms. I felt protected and safe. On that moment, Kyouraku Shunsui was my whole world. I haven't even notice that the others joined us on the dance floor. But my eyes weren't leaving Shunsui's. I didn't even see that Urahara was staring at me from afar.
The song stopped and Kyouraku let me go but held my hand.
''Do you want something to drink?'' He asked me.
I nodded. God I was thirsty! He pulled me to the punch where he poured me a glass.
''Are you enjoying yourself?'' Someone asked behind me.
I turned to see my own Taicho looking at me.
''Actually, yes, I am.'' I answered with a smile.
He didn't seemed to like my answer.
''Can I speak with you?''
I exange a look with Kyouraku.
''I'll see you later.'' He said to me. I nodded with a smile before following my Taicho outside. He dragged me where no one could see or hear us.
''Urahara-Taicho, why are you dragging me this far?'' I asked.
He turned to me and pushed me into a wall.
''What did I tell you a few days ago?'' he asked me. For a moment, I could swear that he was angry with me or jealous.
''Anyone had the opportunity to kill you!'' he whispered.
''Excuse me? Is all this is everything about? Urahara, I am not dead!'' I protested. I tried to push him away but he held me tight.
''Sara, I'm worried about you!'' He said, but more softly. He slowly bend over me and put his head on my right shoulder before enveloping me with his arms.
''Urahara-Taicho?'' I whispered without giving him back his hug.
He didn't answered, he kept holding me harder and harder.
''Urahara-san, you are hurting me...'' I managed to say when air was getting rare in my lungs.
I started to panic, in this moment, Kisuke was holding me like a snake. I knew that snakes get all rolled up on their prey and each time they breath out, the snake would tighten its grip, soffucating them, and Kisuke was doing the same thing.
I tried to push him away, but he only pulled me closer, my arms were pin against my body. So I did the only rationnal thing I could do: I bit him.
He moved back as if I burned him. I panic seeing his eyes, they were glowing red. Obviously, the best way to get to me was go through my own Taicho.
I stood still for a moment and when he charged, I ran towards the party. But his hand quickly grabbed my hair and pulled me against his chest.
''He-!'' I tried to scream but his hand pin itself on my mouth.
Tears ran from my eyes. I was really useless, I couldn't even fight back.
He violently pushed me on the ground where I hit my head. I didn't moved was I almost knock out. I saw Kisuke crawled on top of me and pinned my wrists on the ground with one hand and with the other he grapped my breast, making me moan out of surprise.
''Well, well, what do we have here?'' Said a new figure that appeared above my face. I reconized him right away. It was that short Shinigami from earlier with his friend Hulk.
''Why are you doing this?'' I asked.
''Why?'' He repeated angrily with an evil smirk. ''Because you ruined my freaking life!''
He spit in my face. He exchange a look with my Taicho, and Urahara sat me up. My hands were brought in my back where they were tied. I felt all my energie beeing swallowed up right away.
''It wasn't my fault if you attacked me!'' I replied, angry.
''If you weren't there that morning...'' he threaten me with his finger.
''I don't know what you were doing there or why, but I was doing some deliveries for my Captain!''
He ignored what I said and he continued;
''Kyouraku-Taicho came and visit me later that day and untitled me! I was fifth seat!'' He cried loudly.
Urahara pulled me on my feet and gag me with a piece of tissue.
I panic, I tried to scream, but my voice was cut off by the gag. I didn't want to die. Not like this, not now!
''Oh, shut her up!'' Said the little Shinigami.
I looked up and saw a piece of wood hit my head.
When I woke up, I didn't recognize the place I was. I tried to move but soon realized that I was tied up to a chair. I felt fingers that weren't mine caress my hand. I looked over my shoulder and saw that Kisuke was looking at me over his own shoulder.
''Taicho?'' I whispered worry.
''Sara, I'm so sorry.'' He whispered back.
''What is the situation?'' I asked relieved.
''You remember I mentioned only fourteen of the murderers were arrested?''
I nodded.
''Well, the one who tried to kill you got away, he is behind the attacks.'' He dropped.
My heart pinched. That man really wanted to kill me.
''But how he could affect us?'' I asked.
''He had contacts inside the Sereitei...''
''Kyouraku's fifth seat.'' I guessed.
He nodded. But something was off.
''Weren't you drugged?'' I asked suddenly.
He sighed.
''Yes and I still am, but they can control whenever they need. The rest of the time, I am still me.'' He said, his voice full of guilt. He caressed my fingers again and managed to knot our fingers together.
''Sara, I never wanted to hurt you.'' He dropped looking away.
I stayed silent for a minute.
''Do you remember something?'' I finished by asking.
''A little bit too clearly, yes. But I couldn't control my movements anymore.''
I held tight to his fingers, appreciating this small contact.
The door opened and the morning light blinded me.
''Well, well, so you are awake Tsukiyumi?''
When I could see again, I recognized Kyouraku's old fifth seat along with Hulk and the black guy who tried to kill me when I was Yoruichi's fifth seat. My eyes burned with hatred when I remembered what he made me endure.
''I'm flattered that you remember me.'' He said with a chuckle.
He turned to Kisuke.
''I told you that I would track you down and kill this bitch with you watching!''
Kyouraku's fifth seat came closer and he caressed my cheek. I tried to bite him but his hand got away before he slaps me.
''Well, well, Tsukiyumi-san, you are not very nice, considering the fact you should be thanking me.'' He said coming closer to my face.
''Why on earth should I thank a pig like you?'' I replied arrogant.
It cost me another slap.
''Because if it weren't of me, you'll be already dead!'' He replied spitting in my face.
The black man came closer.
''I was going to kill you right away but Irisashi convince me of a better way to torture you both.''
Irisashi turned around me and Kisuke like a lion who is about to jump on its prey.
''You see, with the drug I created and worked on, I can now control people to do everything I wish for.'' He said.
He pointed hulk.
''You see, Otonashi here was my first attempt, but he got dumb, but he is still of use since he is strong.''
He had an evil laugh.
I felt sorry for Otonashi.
''And when I met Kal.'' He pointed the black man. ''I felt creative in helping him in his vengeance.''
I squeezed Kisuke's fingers as hatred overcame me. I was angry and afraid at the same time. I didn't know what would happen to me, but I didn't was to die. I had alot of plans for my life as a Shinigami. And, there was a secret dream that I hid from everyone ; I wanted a family. Urahara's fingers squeezed back and I calmed down.
Kal came closer to us and reached for Kisuke's handcuffs as Irisashi came closer to my face.
''You see, it will be your dear Urahara-Taicho that will take your life.'' He said.
My eyes widden as I heard Urahara give out a moan of pain. I screamed out of surprise as his nails murdered my fingers. It took a second for Kisuke to appear before me, eyes glowing red.
My own handcuffs were taking off. Kal brought me up and Kisuke caressed my cheek.
''But we'll give you a chance to fight back.'' Said Irisashi with a smirk.
Kal let me go and I stood infront of my Taicho. I looked at Irisashi that had some sort of gadget in his hand.
That must be how he controls him... If I can reach it...I thoughts silently.
I jumped, claws out to kill that bastard and bring Kisuke back to normal. But Urahara caught me in my jump and threw me through the wall.
My back hit a tree and the shock cut out the air out of my lungs. I got up on my elbows and saw Urahara coming to me. I got up the best I could, and almost fall doing it, and ran. Urahara flash stepped infront of me and threw a punch. I jumped sideways and my instincts were on. I used to be trained by Yoruichi and Kisuke, but this time was more. I won't let Urahara kill me.
We faught for a moment, I was mostly trying to run away but Urahara was way too fast. So I thought of a new plan that I can make use for...
While I was in shinigami school I was the best at Kido, at the point that the commander of the necro. corps asked me to joined them. I didn't even need to chant the magic words.
''33rd technique of Hado! Sokatsui, wall of flammes!'' I shouted hands in front of me. A blast came out of them and hit Kisuke, but I knew that it was only effective to slow him down.
The wind blew and Urahara appeared from the smoke and only the tip of his hair was burned.
''You aren't attacking with intention to kill.'' He said with an evil smirk on his face.
I gnashed my teeth together. How many time that he told me that? Countless times he told me that during our trainings session. He often reproach me that I was holding back fighting against him.
''Even when you fight without your sword, you are afraid to hurt me.'' He said again with a laugh this time. He flash stepped to me and pushed into a tree. He took my chin in his hand and forced me to look into his eyes.
''Even though it isn't fear I read in your eyes but hate.''
I closed my eyes and pushed him with violence.
''There, thats better!'' He shouted with amusement.
I looked at my feet and clasped my fists at the point that my joints became white.
''I won't let them take you away from me,'' I whispered between two breaths.
He looked at me puzzled.
''What did you say?'' He asked me.
''I WON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME!'' I screamed.
For a moment his eyes became normal before a smirk grew back and his eyes glow red again.
I ran towards him and grabbed his collar.
''Please Taicho snap out of it!'' I begged with tears coming up to my eyes.
He laugh loudly. I laugh that I didn't reconized.
''Its useless, your dear Taicho is far from now!'' It was that stupid little shinigami's voice.
I paniqued. I didn't know what to do, this man took Kisuke's body too kill me, but...
His hand grabbed my throat and lift me in the air. I grabbed his wrist with both hands and tried to pull him away but he only tighten his grip.
''Ta-taicho.'' I managed to say.
With a smirk he threw me against a tree. I shook my head and coughed loudly. I saw his feet right infront of me. I looked up as he pulled my arm to bring me on my feet. He pinned me on the tree where he threw me and laugh.
I looked at him hurt and put my hands on his chest. He stopped laughing and looked at me, unsure. My hands climbed his chest, to his shoulder, to his neck and finished on his cheeks.
Kisuke seemed paniqued as I got on the tip of my toes but he didn't move. I pulled him to me and kissed him.
Kisuke POV.
I was a prisoner in my own body. I couldn't control my movements; I was assisting a battle with myself and my third seat. I wanted to stop myself from hurting her, but I watched myself, powerless, taking her by the throat and choking her.
''Ta-taicho.'' She managed to say.
I threw her against a tree and walked towards her. I pulled her back on her feet and saw that her beautiful white dress was stained by blood. I laughed. Well, I wasn't the one laughing but Irisashi that was controlling my body.
I was surprised to feel her hands touch my chest. When I looked into her eyes, my heart sank. She was hurt, but I saw hope behind her sadness. Her hands climbed to my cheeks and she pulled me to her. I closed my eyes as our lips touch.
I felt Irisashi struggle against Sara's love, but I won. My feelings for my third seat were strong. Strong enough to respond to her feelings. At first Irisashi wanted to push her but I fought to pull her closer. In a hopeless effort, Irisashi pinched my beautiful third seat, but I pushed him away and lifted Sara in the air, responding to her kiss. She let her arms drop on my shoulders as her legs wrapped around my waist. Her head was above mine and her hair dropped around us. I pulled her closer, sharing more passionate kisses and I couldn't help myself anymore. I pushed her on a tree, free one hand and grabbed one of her breast, making her moan loudly and breaking the kiss.
I opened my eyes and realized who I was kissing. I dropped her and she hide her intense red face.
''Kisuke!'' Screamed a voice not far away.
Sara turned to me as she reconized the voice. It was Yoruichi.
''Sara-Chan!'' Screamed Kyouraku's voice.
My heart pinched as her face light up.
Our friends appeared between the trees. Yoruichi and Kyouraku weren't alone; they were followed by Hiyori, Shinji and Isane.
''Oh my god Kisuke! What did you did to your lieutenant.'' Shouted Yoruichi rushing towards to Sara. I looked at my third seat I realized that blood was staining her beautiful lavander hair. I reached for my third seat as realized that my hand was covered with her blood. Must be when I rushed my hand through her hair when we was… I slightly blushed at the thought.
Isane forced Sara to sit on the ground and ran her hand on her body.
''You have no broken bones, but you may have a small concussion, you need to stay calm.'' She said oviously worried.
Shunsui looked at my third seat longly before coming closer to me.
''My apologizes.'' He whispered to me. ''I knew that Irisashi was borderline mad, I should send him to the maggots nest as soon I suspected something.''
I looked at him surprised. He answered to my silent question.
''Yes, I suspected him to be behind the attacks but I couldn't prove anything.'' He turned his look to Sara as he got out a remote of his cloak. ''I guess he was controlling you with this.'' He declared.
I nodded.
''I don't know how he can control me with a remote, and besides, I never breathe any funny fumes.''
He took my hand and put the remote in it.
''You can study the subject after bringing you two to the hospital.'' He finished as a rescue team arrived.
Sara said that she was able to walk on her own but Isane insisted that she let the rescue team carry her. I came closer to her.
''No, I assure you that I'm fine!'' She replied with a smile.
I bend down and took her in my arms like when I first save her life, bridal-style. She looked at me, surprised and turned her head away as a blush was growing on her cheek.
''Don't worry, I'll bring her.'' I said to Isane with a smile.
I turned to Yoruichi.
''Bring her to the hospital, we'll go pick up those three.'' She said with a wink.
I nodded and flash step. I jumped from trees to trees without exchanging a word with my 3rd seat but when I made a stop near the river. Sara looked at me with a questioning mark in her eyes.
I slowly deposed her on a rock and I walked towards the water.
''Urahara-Taicho?''She called. ''Is everything alright?''
I looked at her over my shoulder, she seemed very concerned. She insisted with her eyes and I looked away.
''I wanted to speak with you before going back...'' I finally drop.
''Okay...'' She said unsure.
Understanding that she was waiting me to continue, I took a deep breath and turned to her.
''If you want to change division, you are free to do so.'' I said slowly.
I looked into her eyes and she laugh.
''Why would I want to change division?'' She asked me with a smile. ''Because you nearly killed me?''
I looked down, blaming myself for being weak and let that Irisashi poisoned my mind and control me... Even if I don't know exactly how yet.
''Urahara-san'' called Sara pulling me out of my thoughts. She reached for my cheek and caressed it with a sad smile. ''You always say to me to stop feeling guilty, I'm sure that now is a time to follow your own advice.''
I stared at her, surprised that she used my own words against me, but I smile, she was right.
''It's true that I give some good advices.'' I said with a smirk.
I quickly glanced at my third seat to see that she rolled her eyes with a sigh. I became more serious without loosing my smile.
''Come on; let's bring you to the hospital.'' I announced.
She smile and nodded. I bend over as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I reached for her legs but I strident pain through my head, I stop my movement to pick up my third seat and brought my hands to my head.
Sara's POV
Seeing my Taicho bringing his hands to his head, I instinctly moved back.
''Taicho?'' I called worried.
He gave up a grunt and fell to his knees. His eyes were closed, he was struggling against something. I came closer to him, taking a risk. But he didn't attack me. I ran my hand on his forehead.
''Oh my, you are burning up; let me bring you to the hospital.'' I said quickly. I was about to wrap my arm around his waist but he stopped me.
''No, bring me to the lab, there his something in-'' He couldn't finished his sentence; he brought his hands to his stomach and screamed out of pain. He fell side ways and I caught him before his head could hit the ground. I brushed away his hair from his face, he fell unconscious. I took his right arm and past it around of my shoulders as I pulled him up with my left arm around his waist. I was very weak and nearly fell, but I stood steady and flash stepped.
I jumped from roof to roof and went through the north gate of the Seireitei. I hesisted infront of the fourth division gate for a few seconds but I followed my Taicho's orders and went to the twelth division lab.
When I arrived, Mayuri was studying on whatever and didn't even turn around when I got in. I made some place on the table where I struggle to lay Urahara on it.
''You know, I'm not a doctor, Tsukiyumi-Chan.'' He said without leaving his eyes on what he was working on.
I sighed and came closer to him.
''Please, Urahara-Taicho is in pain because of whatever that stupid Irisashi gave, put in him.'' I begged. ''Only you can help him.''
He sighed and scratch his chin as he turned to me.
''Well I guess I could take a look at him.'' He slowly said.
I smiled to him, releaved, even I didn't liked him, I was gratefull.
He took out a sort of screen and he saw that I was wondering what it was because he explained it to me.
''It is a X-ray, with it I can see through his flesh and in his body.''
I widden my eyes amazed. I never thought that Mayuri was that briliant to invent something like that.
''Can I look with you?'' I asked, my own curious character popping out.
He looked at me and nodded. I came closer and he activated his machine. He scan his stomach when I said that Kisuke seemed to suffer from there, but we found nothing . He scanned up and my heart came up seeing a sort of parasite in my Taicho's head.
''What the hell is that!'' I shouted in panic.
He handed me the X-ray thing and he rushed to get an other machine.
''I was told that Urahara was possessed?'' He asked me.
I nodded, even if possessed wasn't really the best description.
''It seems that he didn't go mad by inhaling any weird fumes like the others...'' He thought out loud.
''But how then?'' I asked still holding the X-ray following the parasite.
''You see the parasite how more blue it is form the rest?'' he asked me.
I nodded.
''It is mechanical, it must be implanted directly into him...'' He said studying out Taicho's neck.
''So here is where you came in...'' He whispered.
I looked where his eyes were stairing, at the bottom of Urahara's nape was small little hole that seemed to be old.
''The parasite must have grown in him...'' He whispered.
''How can I mechanical parasite could possibily grow?'' I asked.
A smirk grew on Kurotsuchi's face as he placed his new machine on the little hole.
''That is what I'll will figure out after taking it out of our dear Urahara Kisuke.'' he said.
He activated his machine and on my X-ray screen I saw the parasite move ferocily.
Kisuke woke up and screamed. I let go of the X-ray and pinned him down on Mayuri's order. His eyes met mine and he tried to control himself. He bit his lower lip holding in another scream.
''Take that cloth on my desk and put it in his mouth, like that he won't bite his toungue or anything.'' Said quickly Mayuri.
I ran to it and came back. Kisuke looked at me and opened his mouth. I rushed to put it in as he bit into it to hold in another scream.
''Are you almost finished!'' I shouted to Mayuri as I held Kisuke's face into my hands. My eyes met his. My heart sank, I never saw Urahara this powerless.
''Shhh, it is almost done, hang in there.'' I whispered trying to calm him down.
Tears ran out of my eyes. I couldn't stand it, Urahara spit out the cloth and screamed.
''Got it!'' Shouted a very pleased Mayuri.
I looked up to it after that Kisuke fell uncounscious once more. It was the most disgusting thing I ever saw. My last night dinner didn't stand it. I threw up and fell on my knees. I cough out blood as my sight became blury. I looked on Urahara's face before my world shut down.
