Shunsui kyoraku couldn't keep his eyes off the way her ass swayed as she was being dragged away by the other hat adorning captain. The black shihakusho weren't the most flattering outfits, but he almost started to salivate at the way Kumiko seemed to fill hers out.
The way her lavender eyes bore into his own grey ones as he kissed her hand burned into his memory. She was breathtaking
"put your tongue away kyoraku," Yoruichi laughed, snapping him out of his lustful train of thought "someone will fall over it'"
He turned his warm grey eyes away from the sight of Kumikos plump ass rounding the corner and out of sight, too look innocently at his old drinking buddy
"yare, yare Yoruichi-san." The lazy drawl softly echoed in the room. Lowering his Sugegasa over his eyes "I'm not that bad, am I juu-chan?" He turned to his best friend for support, wrapping a heavy arm around his slighter companion's shoulders. Smile dancing on his lips.
An apologetic smilie graced the handsome captains lips "you're not that good either" Ukitake said. Ignoring the playful crestfallen expression his friend gave him "Come on, let us leave before captain Yamamoto finds us some work to do, since we're all ideally standing around ".
with a sigh Shunsui looked down the corridor where he last saw her curvaceous form, before following his two friends at a lazy pace
*
Kumiko was being steered down the corridor, being talked at a mile a minute by captain Urahara.
Amused thoughts filled her mind He's asked me about 14 questions and haven't stopped long enough to let me answer a single one
"what was it you were doing in hell? Yamamoto must think highly of you to leave the decision of who's squad you'll join, no? " he gazed at her somewhat dumbfounded expression on her face
He stopped suddenly, releasing his arms hold over her shoulders, turning to face her with his own sheepish expression
"I've gone too fast haven't I?" He said with a sheepish smile "how about some drinks first?"
"drinks?" Came a new voice from behind them. The three captains had caught up to hear the tail end of his statement
"I could go for some drinks" yoruichi smiled at the two of them. Slapping Urahara gently across the back of his head
"you speak too much" she said eying her friend
Kumiko smilies at Their antics as another heavier arm was slung across her back. "Come, pretty lady, me and Ukitake will save you from Uraharas questioning" His breath ghosted over her Reddening cheeks. As he started guiding her out of the firsts decisions baracks. Shunsui ignoring the soft protests from said man in question. " I know the perfect place"
*
"kanpai!" Came five inebriated courses from a private room in the back off Shunsuis favourite inn . The laughter was flowing as easily as the drinks were. Flushed faces and happy grins a now permanent fixture on the 5 faces. Kumiko, having not had a drink in some months closed her eyes briefly, soaking up the warm fuzzy feeling in her belly brought on by the sweet sake. Opening her eyes to find Urahara much closer to her face than she remembered him being. His head lazily being held up by his hand, elbow resting on their table.
" so, miko-san, you've heard us embarrass eachother for the past hour, are you ready to tell us something about yourself? " he almost purred at the flushed woman. She could've sworn he was flirting with her.
unsure if it was the drinks lowering her inhibitions or the warm smile he was aiming her direction, but Kumiko decided to play along.
Resting her head in her own hand, mirroring the blond, leaning closer she inhaled deeply before asking "what do you want to know captain?"
"Kiske" he corrected. The sweet smell of his breath dancing on her face "We're past the informality's now wouldn't you agree? "
"I'm interested to know what Captain Yamamoto was saying in the meeting earlier" chimed in a slightly swaying Ukitake "what are these 'unique circumstances' that has brought us to you feeling out all the divisions before you decide to join?"
Kyoraku and yoruichi both leaned in, eager to hear the explanation themselves. Catching Kyoraku's eyes, Kumiko faced flushed, knowing it'll come out eventually she heaved a sigh before covering her eyes with her hands
"it's embarrassing " she whined, lowering her hands she leaned back, resting them on the ground behind her to support her body.
"I get.. effected by captain level spiritual pressure, in.. varying unique ways" the busy woman explained, avoiding direct eye contact.
"effected how? " Yoruichi questioned, laying back on her side on the floor. Curiosity in her eyes.
Kumiko sighed deeply before continuing "it's different for every person, when someone of captain level increases their spiritual pressure, I get overcome with different feelings, embarrassment, fear, sadness. I can't control it , and depending on how overpowering it is, I can be rendered absolutely useless in a battle setting" she trailed off, heat rising to her cheeks.
Urahara shifted to kneel closer to Kumiko "fascinating" he mused, drunken smile on his lips "can I try?" He asked excitedly, three sets of eyes on them both, eagerly awaiting her answer. Shunsuis eyes caressed over her flushed cheeks wondering what other ways he could make her blush that enticing colour, brought back to the conversation with Kumikos heavy sigh
"why not? It's going to happen eventually I guess" she answered, twisting in her seat to face Urahara hesitantly, locking eyes with with the scruffy haired man.
His eyes locked into hers, slowly releasing his spiritual pressure, leaning forward slightly.
A slow grin appeared on her face, as she felt his Reiatsu wash over her. Unable to control her reactions she burst into laughter, gasping for breath and clutching her stomach at the sudden onslaught of uncontrollable laughter. A tear escaped her eye, trickling down the side of her pretty face. Slightly taken aback Urahara leaned back grinning at the reaction his new friend was having at his Reiatsu
Shunsuis breath caught in his throat at the sound of her loud joyous laugh. Sharing a glance with Ukitake, seeing the wonder plastered on the handsome captains face. Both started to smile at her infectious laughter .
"perhaps that is enough Kiske, let the girl breath" came an amused Yoruichi from his right. Urahara lowered his Reiatsu, smiling at kumikos dying laughter. A few chuckles escaped her lips as she seemed to regain control of her outburst.
"amazing" he stated "and it's like that for everyone?"
"from what I can tell , everyone who is stronger than me, or about the same level, yes" Kumiko confirmed, smile still playing on her lips "not all the reactions are as fun though" she finished dabbing the wet streak left behind on her cheek from the escaped tear
"would you mind if I were to take some notes? Document your reactions to different captains? ". He asked eagerly fighting the urge to release his Reiatsu again to throw her into a laughing fit
Kumiko grabbed her neglected sake dish, bringing it up to her lips and downing the sweet liquid inside. Wiping her lips with the back of her hand contemplating the captains request
"sure" she allowed "if you buy me another drink" she grinned flirtatiously at the man.
"perhaps that's enough experimentation for tonight" ukitake said, slowly getting to his feet, careful not to stumble "I must head off before Sentarou and Kiyone come looking for me" he smiled down at the group. "It was a pleasure meeting you Kumiko-san"
"you too sir". She smiled back up at the man "thank you for your company this evening "
"I'll accompany you Jushiro". Yoruichi said, standing up much more gracefully than the tall white haired man had managed. "Later Kiske, shunsui. Don't get Kumiko into too much trouble tonight" she bid them farewell, walking out with Ukitake
Urahara threw them a lazy wave over his head as he used his free hand to fill up kumikos sake dish, raising the bottle slightly at Kyoraku in an unspoken question. Shunsui raised his cup towards the smaller man to refill his own cup, not taking his eyes off of Kumiko.
I wonder what reactions I'll get off her when she feels my Reiatsu. He mused to himself. Focusing back on the conversation happening in-front of him at the sound of his own name
"sorry" Kyoraku apologised "what was that?"
"do you think you can get away later this week to see how miko reacts to your Reiatsu?" Urahara repeated, smiling excitedly.
He glanced at Kumiko, who's eyes were already on him.
"I can hardly wait" he purred
