A few months later…

Sara's POV

''Ow! Can you be less brutal?'' I said as Kisuke planted a needle in my arm.

A smirk grew on his lips.

''I'm sorry Tsukiyumi-san, but it's not my fault if you lost a bet yesterday'' he said with a chuckle.

''I should stop that'' I grinned.

A few months passed since we started working on the Zanpakuto project with Arashi Cho, and since I was dating Kyouraku, Urahara seemed to like taking advantage of my good nature. Yesterday, I still lost a combat against him, again, making me his personal servant for a month.

''What you should do, is train some more.'' He said as he finished taking the blood sample. We've discover that Zanpakuto's were once leaving beings and we were trying to find what determines the partnership between them and their wielders.

''For your information, I train every day, but I don't necessarily have the time'' I snapped.

''You should cut your time with Shunsui'' He dropped with a sigh.

''First of all, you should mind your own business, and second, you are the one who takes all my time!'' I screamed desperate.

''First, it is of my business, considering you're still my subordinate, second, you lost a bet yesterday'' He said without even looking at me.

''Can you both stop arguing!'' Bumped in Arashi-Chan. ''you look like an old couple''.

I looked at Arashi and sighed and gave Kisuke an evil glare.

''Don't even think about it, Tsukiyumi-san'' She said as I opened my mouth.

It was true that we didn't stop arguing since I started dating Shunsui and sometimes he was such a pervert.

''This is curious…'' Suddenly said Urahara. I got up and look over his shoulder by putting my hand on his chair and a hand on the table. He was studying my blood sample.

''What is?'' I asked.

''Well, compared to the other elemental wielders, your blood isn't normal'' He look at me. ''The weirdest part is that it wasn't like this when you entered this division.''

I stared at him.

''You took a blood sample when I came in this division? Why don't I remember when was this?'' I said a bit worried, but I didn't let him answer. ''Anyhow, what makes my blood different than before?''

He brought his eyes to his microscope.

''Well, your blood cells seem to be electrified, as if your Zanpakuto is affecting you physically.'' He brought his eyes on me. ''I'm starting to wonder if you being a Shinigami is bad for your health.''

''That is ridiculous, I feel fine and I'm never sick'' I said as I locked my eyes with his.

''But I would like you stay away of your Zanpakuto to see if it is really Xion that is causing that effect.'' He said without looking away.

''But even if it is the cause, what are we going to do? You'll force me out of my job?'' I asked.

''Well, I need to see if it is unhealthy, and if it is, I would have to'' He dropped as he turned his chair towards me.

''can you even do that?'' I asked a bit frustrated as I stood back straight.

''I guess I can, but I won't take you off my team, I'll take away your Zanpakuto.''

I stood there and stared. I was too angry to reply. The only thing I did was to turn away and walked out of the lab. I couldn't believe what he will be willing to do to stop this. I must say, I've improved a lot since a while. I still lost against Urahara, but that was just normal. And I seriously doubt it was bad for me, because I was feeling great for a few weeks now. I went in my room and took my Zanpakuto and put it on my knees. I close my eyes and connected with it.

''You seem troubled Sara'' Said Xion as the great Unicorn appeared in front of me.

''We just found out that my blood has changed'' I dropped with a sigh.

''So it has begun'' It said as he came closer to me.

''Excuse me? This was supposed to happen?'' I asked a bit afraid.

''Indeed, you aren't my first wielder and this happens when you try to achieve Bankai'' He dropped as his golden eyes stared at me.

''Is it dangerous?'' I asked as I brought my knees to my chest.

''It could be. No one achieved Bankai with me, but you are the first who takes interest on what is happening to your body'' He said without moving.

I sighed.

''What happened to your previous wielders?''

''They all died''

My heart pinched. I was going to lose my Shinigami powers and be apart from Xion forever.

''But you are different from the others'' He dropped. I looked up, hope in my eyes.

''Compared to the others, you were the only who took real interest in me, you've been my wielder and my friend''

I looked at him surprised. And he continues.

''The others only wanted my power and nothing else. But you, you take good care of me and you come to speak with me, you are my first wielder who does that.''

''Isn't normal for a wielder to be friends with their Zanpakuto?'' I asked a bit surprised.

''I am one of the first Zanpakuto, and back then, Shinigami saw us like simple weapons'' I looked at him horrified. ''It wasn't so long ago we did have a value to your kind eyes.''

''That's horrible! You do have feelings and they couldn't care less?''

I was angry to learn this. I knew that some Shinigami were self-centered, but at this point?

''I knew that by choosing you as my wielder, someone will finally understand us'' He said. I looked down and remembered my research.

''What make you decide who's fit to be your wielder? What determines it?''

''I cannot speak for the others like me, it determines from a Zanpakuto to another, but in general, your spiritual pressure attracts us to you''

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

''It is a little as if your soul speaks to us''

I look at Xion, not knowing what to answer to that. But something caught my curiosity.

''What did my soul told you?'' I asked with a smile.

''It didn't speak, but I sensed that you needed me. Your soul is kind and gentle, and wants to protect those you care about''

''So my soul was attractive?'' I concluded with a chuckle.

''You can see it that way, indeed'' he said and he nodded.

''Well then! I'm decided!'' I declared as I got up.

Xion looked up.

''I won't abandon just because it might be dangerous''

''But you might die my lady''

''You said that I was different from the others, don't worry, I will do it for both of us'' I said determined. If a unicorn could have smiled, he would. I slowly pet his nose.

''You won't be alone anymore'' I said before opening my eyes to be in my room.

''I'll go speak with Urahara and make him understand'' I whispered as I put my Zanpakuto on my bed. I got up and opened the door to see my Taicho that was about to knock.

''Urahara-Taicho, I was about to go see you'' I said with a sigh.

''I call it good timing'' He said with a smile. ''Can I come in?''

I moved from the door and let him in. He took a good sniff.

''Your room smells nice'' He said. He turned to me and pulled me by the arm. He put his nose in my hair. ''Your room smells like you'' He said with a smile. I slightly blush and pushed him away.

''What do you want?'' I asked him as I sat on my futon.

He walked towards me and sat beside of me.

''I came to take your Zanpakuto and to speak with you'' He said as he tried to brush my hair away from my face but I moved away.

''You're not taking Xion away from me'' I snapped angry.

''Sara, I want to see if it is your Zanpakuto is-''

''No! You're not taking Xion away from me!'' I screamed as I got up. ''For your information, yes it is because I'm trying to achieve Bankai that my blood is reacting this way!''

''Sara, it can be dangerous!'' He protested as he got up too.

''I know, but Xion explained me something and-''

I couldn't continue; Kisuke took my face between his hands and got centimetres from my face.

''Sara, you are too important to me and-''

I slapped his hands away I couldn't help myself from crying.

''Quit the bullshit!'' I screamed. ''Don't make me believe that you care about me! Besides, this is something I need to do and you are not going to stop me!''

I looked up and was surprised by the look he had on his face. He wasn't happy, or sad. I crossed a line.

''Sorry Taicho, I didn't want to be rude'' I rushed to say.

He only shook his head and left the room. I fell on my futon and buried my face in my hands. I was so stupid.

''I never thought you could speak to him like that, but you defended yourself'' I heard Xion say. ''You shouldn't have apologize''

''But he might hate me now'' I whispered as I pulled my knees to my chest.

''Maybe for now, but I'm sure he will understand''

I sighed and lay down. I was wondering what Kisuke was thinking right now. Someone knocked on my door and didn't wait for me to answer it. Kyouraku Shunsui came in.

''So, you were waiting for me?'' He asked as he saw me lying on my bed. I smiled at the remark but didn't move. He walked towards me and lay down beside of me. He gently kissed me and I answered. I was very happy to see him. I didn't see him often these last few days.

''What's wrong?'' He asked me.

''What make you think that something is wrong?'' I asked back with a smile.

''Should I make you remember how we started dating?''

I sighed at that and decided to be honest.

''I had another fight with Urahara'' I dropped.

''Again? You two are always fighting!'' He said as he fake to be surprised. I stared at him and he smiled. ''What was your fight about?''

''He wanted to take Xion away from me…''

This time he really seemed surprised.

''What for?'' He asked concerned.

''Because my blood is changing because of it…''

He sat up and locked his eyes in mine.

''Is it dangerous?'' He dared.

''It could be'' I dropped after I hesitated and sat up.

''And you got angry?'' He asked me by giving me a severe look.

''Well, yes, he didn't want to listen to me!'' I protested a bit angry.

''Did you listen to him?'' He asked with a sigh.

''No, but-''

''No buts Sara, at least keep him posted on your body changes, he does care about you''

I looked at him surprised but sighed.

''I seriously doubt he cares about me now…'' I whispered discouraged.

''Don't say that, he always keep an eye out for you and you know it'' He gently caressed my hair.

''I guess you're right'' I finished by admitting.

''Well then!'' He got up and stretch. ''I guess you should do speak with him''

I looked at him and nodded. I took the hand that he was offering me and we both got out of my room.

''Thank you Taicho'' I said grateful before getting on the tip of my toes to kiss him.

When I slowly the broke the kiss, Shunsui pulled me back to his lips and kissed me with insistence.

''Taicho, it's dangerous here, we can be seen'' I said as I managed to push him away.

''Well then, I want you at my place same hour tomorrow'' he whispered in my ear.

I nodded and gave him a last peck before leaving towards my Taicho's desk.

Kisuke POV

I walked out of Sara's room. What she said hurt me. She really thought that I don't care about her? It's true that we were always fighting like cat and dog, but our relationship was way better before Kyouraku. I went to my office and saw Arashi Cho waiting for me.

''Cho-Chan, what are you doing here?'' I asked as I faked a smile.

''I was concerned about you Taicho'' She whispered. ''I had the feeling that you needed me, so I came here.''

I questioned my heart and didn't felt a need to see her.

''Sorry to make you worry, but I'm fine'' I said with as I rubbed the back of my head.

''Urahara-san, I know how you feel about Tsukiyumi-san'' She dropped as she got closer to me. I didn't move. Was it that obvious? I promise myself that I could be satisfied only to see her happy, but I was terribly jealous when I saw Kyouraku around. All I could do was make up stupid reasons to have a fight with her.

''But she is with Kyouraku-Taicho now, you need to forget her…''

I felt hypnotized as I looked at her dark blue eyes. I felt as if I was drowning and that my life and holding by a thread.

''You didn't even realized that you had me, Kisuke'' She whispered as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I didn't try to push her away when she kissed me. On the contrary, I couldn't help myself to kiss back.

''Urahara-san, I wante-'' Said a voice as the door opened.

I looked towards my third seat who was completely shocked.

''Sorry to interrupt'' She said before closing the door.

''Sara-Chan, wait!'' I called her back. I was going to run after her but Arashi caught my arm. ''Do you really prefer her to me?'' She asked me.

I didn't know that to answer to that, I didn't want to hurt her feelings and I liked her, but…

''Please don't leave me Taicho'' She said as tears came up to her eyes. ''I really do like you'' She said that as she wrapped her arms around my chest and put her head on my shoulder. I realized how taller she was from my third seat…

''I would wish to grow a relationship with you someday''

I looked at her stunt, as I looked in her eyes, something changed and I couldn't control my movement anymore; I kissed her and she responded to my kiss instantly. I didn't understand why I was kissing her, I surely didn't love her, but I felt forced.

Later that night

Arashi Cho was walking through her division as she looked at the stars with an evil smirk on her lips.

''I can see that everything is going as planned?'' Someone asked her from behind. The beautiful brunet turned around and bowed.

''My Lord, I successfully seduced Kisuke Urahara'' She answered with a smile.

''I knew I could count on you Cho, you know what to do now.'' He said as he walked into the light of the bright moon.

''Yes, Lord Aizen''

Ooooh! This chapter was pretty short (it is only 4 page Word) but now, let the actions begins! I don't like cliché love stories that much, even this is very cliché, so now, let me put some cliché action!
