"Woah" the word fell from Shunsuis lips as he saw Kumiko for the first time. She looked beautiful. His eyes roamed her body, seeing how the dress she wore hugged her body before flaring out slightly at her hips. The hem of the dress teasingly dancing around her thighs. Her hair was curly, smell of coconuts coming from it. Coconuts was quickly becoming one of his favourite smells
and her eyes he thought, the dark on her eyelashes and the top of her lids made her big lavender eyes stand out more than normal. She looks perfect
"hi" she told him happily, wide smile on her face, beautiful pink warming her cheeks
"hi". He smiled back, leaning in to kiss her cheek "you look beautiful "
"thank you " she said almost breathless
"are you ready?" He asked her, desperate to get her alone
"yeah, let me just grab my bag". Kumiko said before running back into her house, grabbing her small black bag, already housing her keys, money and tracker Urahara had given her. Coming back to shunsui she stepped outside and closed the door behind her
"ready" she said, looking up at him. Kyoraku was still in his usual captains outfit, twin zanpakuto tied to his waist, having left work to come and collect her. He leaned down and have her a sweet kiss on the lips, "now we're ready". He told her, holding his arm out for her to hold.
Shunsui was leading Kumiko down the street, arm holding on to his, pride swelling up in his chest of him being the one escorting this beautiful woman to their destination
"where are we going?" She asked him excitedly
"I want to take you to my favourite place to be when it's hot" he told her "I have a surprise there"
"isn't this the 8ths Baracks?" Kumiko asked him, seeing an "8" flag in the distance
"you got me". He teased her, "I'm bringing you to my home. My garden to be more precise "
"I can't wait". She told him, seeing he stiffened slightly at saying he was taking her home
"how was your day?" He asked her making conversation
"long" she laughed "urahara beat me up for most of it"
at his quizzing look she elaborated "we were doing some training, I had to try and block his hits as he raised his spiritual pressure. I spent most of the time laughing and getting thrown around ." She laughed at his laugh
"not as nice as juu is he?" Shunsui asked playfully
"not at all. how is he? Jushiro? Is he feeling better?" Kumiko remembered to ask, feeling guilty she hadn't been back to see him yet
"better, he's still unwell. But is staying awake for longer now. He kicked me out his bed earlier" he told her grinning at her surprised laugh
"why were you in his bed?" She asked eyes shining up at him
"I went to visit him, and he was asleep. So I decided to take a nap while I waited for him to wake up. His bed looked more comfortable than the floor" he said causing her to laugh harder
"oh poor jushiro, probably gave him a fright waking up to you in his bed with him"
Kyoraku grinned wolfishly at her "apparently my snoring woke him up," making her laugh again " I woke up with him hitting me with a book"
Kyorakus hand coming down to hold her own, leading her through a gate. Beyond the gate it opened up into a large grassy garden. Flowers decorated the edges, running along the ivy covered walls. Following the stone path Kumiko could see a large cherry blossom tree, seeming to be their destination.
Further on from the tree Kumiko could see and hear the trickling water feature falling into a rocky bordered pond. Lanterns were strung up above their heads, going to the tree, back to the house and further away to where Kumiko couldn't see
It was beautiful
"this is your garden?" Kumiko breathed, taking in its beauty
he nodded down at her "part of it, it opens up around the side of the house, with a large seating area and fire pit". He told her pointing to the side of the house they were walking away from
"it's so beautiful" she gushed looking around
Kyoraku looked down. Gazing on her face he breathed "yeah , it is"
getting closer to the tree, Kumiko saw a large white blanket laid out on the grass, thick pillows scattered around the edges. a big wicker basket sat in the middle, a bottle of what looked to be sake next to it
"you made us a picnic" she stated excitedly, a bit shocked at how romantic it was
"well. I bought a picnic " he laughed, rubbing the back of his neck"I didn't want to give you food poisoning our first date"
"I love it" she said stopping to turn to him "it's perfect, thank you" she reached up to kiss his stubbled cheek as he smiled down at her, pleased he seemed to be finally doing things right
leading her to the blanket, he held her hand as she lowered herself down onto a pillow, putting her bag to the side, before sitting next to her. Kumikos eyes glanced around the garden, easily seeing why this is Shunsuis favourite place. It was so beautiful and relaxing.
Shunsui got her attention by handing her a sake cup, she brought it to her lips to taste. It was amazing. Subtle peach flavour encouraging her to drink more.
"do you like it?" He asked her, watching her face intently
"it's really good" she confirmed with a nod "I've not had that one before "
"im glad". He said reaching into the basket to bring out the food he had. Still hot rice balls, filled with red beans, gyoza and what looked like chicken covered in a sticky sauce were laid between them, before he pulled out some chocolate covered strawberries, mix of milk and white chocolate
"this all looks amazing, you didn't have to go through so much trouble" she told him, she would have been happy just walking around with him
"no trouble at all. I wanted to spoil you" he told her, using some chopsticks to grab some chicken before bringing it up to her lips "try it" he encouraged, shocked slightly at what the sight of her opening her mouth and accepting the bite did to him. It was incredibly sexy.
Kumiko moaned around the chicken "that's amazing ". She said, accepting her own chopsticks from shunsui, who had to tear his eyes away . Watching as he took a bite for himself, nodding at her assessment
"I'll have to thank juu, he's the one who told me about this place" he said before grabbing something else to try
Shunsui and Kumiko talked lightly as they ate. Laughing at their flirting and teasing
"tell me more about what you were like in school" she pressed, having enjoyed Shunsui reminiscing about sharing a room with jushiro
he laughed loudly, putting down his chopsticks, food now eaten "I was an awful student. If I didn't sleep through the class, I turned up late. I was constantly in trouble with the teachers, especially Yama-jii. He took a special interest in me and jushiro. Wanted to train us himself ." He told her, eyes shining with past mischief "he scolded me more times than I care to remember "
Kumiko laughed at his story, it fit him perfectly
"what was jushiro like?" She asked him, resting her hand next to his on the blanket, shunsui covered it with his own
"pretty much how he is now. Driven, hard working. He was top of all our classes, and worked hard to ensure he stayed there. Everyone loved him. I'm amazed I didn't drag him down. I wasn't easy to live with back then, between my drinking and bringing girls," he stopped himself looking worriedly at her , she laughed lightly
"I've heard all about your antics with the ladies". She told him smiling " Yoruichi called you a "Notorious skirt chaser" "
Kyoraku laughed, pleased she didn't seem mad. Bringing a hand up to rub the back of his head he said "yeah. I was a nightmare back then . I've calmed down now though, thankfully"
"did you do this for half the girls in your school?" She teased him, hand presenting the picnic
"no,". He said softly, squeezing her hand "I've only ever done this for you".
The blush made a return to kumikos face, making her look down at their joined hands, silently Willing her heart rate to slow down
shunsui leaned over and gently raised her chin with his fingers. "I've not felt like this about anyone, except you, Kumiko" he whispered before lowering his head to capture her lips in a kiss.
Pulling a way from the kiss, shunsui looked at her face. Her eyes were wide and shining, smile on her perfect lips. I should have been more honest with my feelings weeks ago he thought, the way she was staring up at him making his heart beat harder than he had ever experienced
The sun was starting to set, a slight chill lingering in the air. Shunsui jumped up taking his Kimino off his shoulders and draping it over Kumiko to keep her warm
"I'll be right back love, I'm just going to turn on the lanterns" he told her before leaving
Kumiko pulled the kimono tighter around her, inhaling deeply
it smells like him she thought, breathing in deeply. Kumiko was impressed with the date. It was sweet and romantic, not something she necessarily thought shunsui would do.
the lanterns suddenly went on over head, throwing out a warm orange glow. Kumiko started to pack everything up in the basket, except for the strawberries and sake cups. Moving the basket to the side to give them more room. Laying it next to his discarded hat and twin zanpakuto, kumikos bag not far away.
Shunsui returned, sitting back down next to Kumiko, legs stretched out in front of him. Before pouring them another drink. Kumiko raised it to her lips and drank. Enjoying the warmth it sent through her body
"you look good in my kimono ". He told her with a grin "pink suits you"
"you look good without it". She laughed " I've never seen you in just your captains coat. You look very smart" she teased
Kyoraku laughed with her, looking smart wasn't a compliment he received often. Shunsui watched as she picked up a chocolate covered strawberry. She leaned over on her hands and knees bringing up to Shunsuis lips
"strawberry?" She asked him shyly. Smirking at how she imitated what he had done earlier, shunsui leaned forward to take a bite, gently sucking at the juice as it began to fall.
He leaned back chewing, before sending her a smile "tasty". He said watching as she took a bite before throwing the stem back in the box
"it is". She said nodding as she chewed
"I could get used to you feeding me strawberries " he told her. Making her reach for another. Shunsui moved back lightly so he could rest against the tree
"come here" he commanded softly, tapping on his lap
Kumiko pulled the strawberries closer, and she crawled over to him on her knees. shocked when he pulled her to him, encouraging her to straddle his big thighs. The hem of kumikos dress raising up her thighs. Showing more of her skin, Shunsuis large hands rested there, gently rubbing the softness with his thumbs
Kumiko reached down to pick up a white chocolate one this time, other hand resting on his chest, before she brought it up to his mouth to bite .
Shunsui sunk his teeth into it. Lightly taking the rest from her hand. Swallowing quickly he asked her in a deep husky voice
"do you want a taste?"
Kumiko nodded, eyes fixed to his, when shunsui pulled her down to him, capturing her lips in a kiss. Opening her mouth with his own shunsui added his tongue, letting her taste the sweet mix of strawberries and chocolate lingering. Dropping the strawberry, Shunsuis large hands grabbed her hips, gently pulling her into him more. Her hands gently rubbing his chest. Pulling apart slightly, noses touching gently, shunsui whispered to her
"how did it taste?"
"best I've ever had" she whispered back, closing the distance once more.
shunsui hands moved from her hips to her ass, simultaneously pushing her closer to him, and giving it a light squeeze. The movement caused Kumikos core to rub against his dick, making him groan into her mouth
hearing it, Kumiko smiled into the kiss, Grinding against him again, making him grunt into her lips. Hips involuntarily bucking up into her.
"careful love". He told her in a growl as they pulled apart "I don't know how much longer I can keep myself from dragging you to my bed if you carry on"
"then take me there" she whispered against his ear, moving her hips against his once more.
A rumble came from Shunsuis chest, turning over to pin Kumiko on the blanket beneath him. Supporting his weight off her with one arm, the other hand gently cupping her face, he looked into her lustfilled eyes
"are you sure love?" He asked her gently
"take me to bed shunsui". She begged him, leaning up to kiss his neck "please"
shunsui ran his hand down kumikos leg, lifting it up to wrap around his hip, feeling her wrap her leg around him, shunsui held her waist, lifting her up with him as he stood. Kumiko wrapped her other leg around him to join the first, feet crossing behind him, arms wrapped around his neck.
Shunsui kissed her once more, hands sliding down her body to hold her thighs, keeping her from falling down his body. Picnic left abandoned, shunsui made his way into his home, Kumiko kissing his neck as he went
Authors notes
once again shunsui threw off my story, being inpatient. He was supposed to be walking her home and leaving her with a sweet good night kiss .
Apparently he's made Kumiko wait long enough
