A/N: Rai Kurosaki belongs to Mctrigger.

Chapter 2.

Her date was in a few hours time and Ryuko was currently resting on her bed. She was looking up at the ceiling with a smile on her face. She had her hands on the back of her head. She was both nervous and excited about the date to come.

As she was in immersed in her thoughts There was a knock on the bedroom door. Ryuko looked at it and she sat up on her bed and went to the door. She opened the door to see who it is. She saw a golden furred tom cat with golden yellow eyes. She saw him surrounded by clothes.

"Hey Ryou... I guess you couldn't pass up playing kitty huh?" Ryuko asks with an amused smirk.

"I guess I couldn't... It's just that I figured I could lighten the mood. Since I figured you'd be a tad worried about the date."

"Let me guess either ma, pa, uncle Timio or Soi Fon told you about it right?" Ryuko asks blankly.

"Yeah.." Ryou replied.

Ryuko chuckles a bit "I figured."

Ryou smiles "I'm happy for you.. You work so hard.. You deserve something as relaxing as a date."

"You do have a point.. It feels nice after all the hard stuff I've been doing." Ryuko says with a thoughtful expression.

Ryou asked "So... Anything you'd like to talk about?"

"Nah... I think I'll just wait here for a bit and then get ready." Ryuko says.

Soon Ryou left the room and Ryuko just sat on her bed as she closed the door. Ryou from behind the door had changed to his humanoid form, gotten dressed and then walked down the hall. Ryuko got up from her bed and she had went to the mirror.

"Ok Ryuko just relax it's your first official date with Ken. There's nothing to be scared of.. Besides... I'm sure Ken's not worried at all..." She says to herself. She also had some thoughts on her mind about Rai Kurosaki, her ex boyfriend and Mai's older brother.

She was remembering all the good times that she and he had while smiling fondly. Than she remembered the times when he was gone, she was also remembering when he came back as well. She also remembered how she and Ken first met on one of the first days they were working the same street together.

Soon, she decided to go take a shower and laid out an outfit for her date. She decided to pick out something casual for this date. She went to the bathroom and soon took her shower. She was feeling more and more at ease about her first date with Ken and was looking forward to it.

As she was showering she thought to herself "This will be a great date, Ken's a very nice person and he has always been a wonderful friend too. Plus I always love hanging out with him, casually on the battle field and when we're training."

A few hours came and went as Ken was ready for the date and on his way to Urahara's. He's smiling and is wearing a light blue jacket, a black tanktop underneath and tan pants with a grey belt and gold buckle and brown loafers. Catching sight of the shop he goes on in and greets Jinta, Ururu and Tessai while he takes off his shoes and puts them in the box, he than sees Kisuke and Yoruichi who are both sitting at the table.

Kisuke smiles and gets up "Hello there Ken. I take it you're here to take my and Yoruichi's little girl on a date?"

"Yes sir." Ken says with a nod and smile.

Yoruichi says "Why don't you have a seat I'll go get Ryuko."

Ken nods and he sits down facing opposite of Kisuke. Kisuke and Ken are just sitting there in silence as they wait for Yoruichi to come with Ryuko. Ken then decides to break the silence by saying "So Mr. Urahara sir how have you and Miss Yoruichi been doing?"

"We've been doing fine thank you. You?" Kisuke replies.

Ken smiles and says "I've been doing well. I am having fun with street performing and doing my architect work."

They spoke a bit more with each other as soon Ryuko came out to see them followed by Yoruichi and Ryou. Ryuko was wearing a light green vest and a black tank-top bearing her midriff, blue jeans with a white belt with a gold buckle and her usual black shoes. She was also wearing her shoulder length purple hair down.

Ken smiled as he looked at her. He thinks she looks great and beautiful. Ryuko from her end was smiling at Ken as she felt that he was looking quite sharp and handsome herself. She went over to him and he smiled.

"You look great Ryuko." Ken says while smiling.

Ryuko smiles "Thanks you look pretty good yourself buddy."

Ken thanks her and smiles. Soon they both leave the shop as Yoruichi, Kisuke and Ryou wave good bye to the happy couple. As they walk Ken takes a hold of Ryuko's hand. Ryuko smiles at him while looking from the corner of her eye as she returns the hand hold. But she keeps her other hand in her pocket.

It was a nice evening with a nice moderate temperature and the atmosphere was so nice and smooth. Ken and Ryuko were both glad that they decided to walk to the stadium tonight for the tournament. It was too nice of a night not to.

As they are both walking Ken feels very happy, this was his first date with Ryuko Shihoin the person who he loved with all his heart. Of everyone in his life she was the most important person in it. To Ken, Ryuko is truly beautiful inside and out. Whenever he's hanging out with her he always has a good time.

Ryuko loved holding Ken's hand. She hasn't really had a real romantic relationship since Rai and she remembers how that happy relationship ended up. Oddly though, she feels safe and secure with Ken here. She's able to trust him and have faith in him. She also cares about him a lot as well.

As they walk on a bit and soon see the stadium that is near by, Ryuko looks at Ken and smiles "Ken I'm glad that you asked me out today."

Ken smiles back "So am I. I've been in love with you for some time."

"You have? Well... That makes two of us than.." Ryuko replies with a smile.

Ken smiles and he hugs Ryuko who hugs him back. They both enjoy the hug and than after a few minutes they look each other in the eyes. Ken smiles as he looks at Ryuko and he sees how beautiful her eyes like in the moon light. And Ryuko also feels similar feelings as she looks into his eyes and smiles. Than they both knee in closer together, and they both kiss each other while also hugging each other close.

Soon, they stop kissing and smile at each other. Ken smiles and says in happiness "That was amazing.. It was the best first kiss that I could ever ask for."

"It wasn't my first kiss... But it was the best for me I think it was awesome.. At least so far." Ryuko said and than added with a wink.

Ken smiles and than they break up from the embrace and head for the stadium. Ken put an arm around Ryuko as they headed for their date and Ryuko happily rested her head on his shoulder.

This is the end of chapter 2. The story will be continued in Chapter 3.
