Chapter 3 – Million Days

Previously:

"That's what I don't know yet. Just keep your eyes open and be careful. We don't know what's happening yet." Kisuke watched as all of them nodded and turned to exit his shop. He sighed as he ran his hand across his face before he heard laughing coming from his room.

Kimiko was trying not to laugh to hard, because it made her back hurt but she was failing miserably at Tessai's stories. Once he realized that she had her old memories, he opened Kisukes nightstand drawer and replaced the photo frame to its rightful location.

He was telling her stories about what has happened since that fateful night long ago. Tessai suddenly stopped talking as the bedroom door slid open to reveal Kisuke standing there with his hat pulled over his eyes, to shield anyone from seeing them fully.

He took in the seen, Kimiko propped up against the walls with pillows and Tessai kneeling next to the bed. The first thing he noticed was the frame bac on the nightstand

'Hmm, I put that away at Tessai's urging… what did I miss.' Kisuke thought to himself before turning back to look at Kimiko.

"Ah, the lovely Ms. Hoshi has awakened. Did Tessai explain how we found you passed out outside the shop?" Kisuke asked as he brought his fan to cover his face while he spoke walking into the room.

He watched as Kimiko just stared at him not saying anything, finally she rolled her eyes at him.

"Not you too with this damn 'Ms. Hoshi' nonsense. Really Kisuke, I thought you were a genius." She glared at him. Freezing him in his place. He refused to believe the thoughts in his head, it wasn't possible.

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand Ms. Hosh…" He was cut off by a pillow flying at his head which he dodged. He suddenly heard a hiss from his attacker, and she fell backwards, Tessai catching her and laying her down.

"You know you shouldn't move like that mistress; you were thrown very hard against that wall." Kisuke felt like he was in a weird, warped reality.

"Can someone explain what I missed while I was downstairs." He exclaimed

Tessai finished adjusting Kimiko on the bed before turning to him.

"She has her memories. I'm not sure how but she does." Kisuke felt his breath catch in his throat, as he looked to Kimiko who looked at him with pain filled eyes. He slowly approached her and knelt by the bed.

"Is it really you?" he asked as he reached for the amulet that was sitting on her chest.

"Of course, you idiot. I told you that day I would find you again, did you think I wouldn't follow through." She whispered as her hand came to rest on his, squeezing it slightly.

"How?" he gasped.

"Well, I supposed all those hundreds of years around you rubbed off a bit." She said smirking at him, I managed to get off a kido while Aizen was taunting you." Kimiko explained.

"That kido is a forbidden one… how…"

"Well, I was dying anyways so it didn't really matter if it was forbidden or not, did it?" She replied sarcastically. "I had to time it just right, who do you think told this reincarnated version of me to run, and more so to run here?"

"I was finally able to pull us together into our inner world and plug her into our memories, though I have to remember that if I do that kido again, to try and figure out a solution to the dual memories pain. That's a bitch. Did I really buy that much candy?"

Kisuke laughed and shook his head. "My best customer to date." He replied chuckling. He opened his eyes and stared at Kimiko.

"Do you have any idea why that Arrancar is targeting you?" He asked seriously.

"No, I'm still even sure I will be able to see them with my memories. I am still human here." Kimiko said and Kisuke hummed in response, clearly already starting to plan something.

"You should rest… Tessai is right, you were thrown pretty hard, if you really were just human, you would have been dead." He said softly before running his fingers down her face and giving her a smile. He stood and turned to walk out of the room with Tessai.

Kisuke continued to walk out into his living room wrapping his head around all the information he was just given.

"Tessai, once she's healed, we will need to run some tests on her. She may not be a soul reaper anymore, but I am sure she is not human." Kisuke said as he sat at his table. He watched as Tessai made himself busy in the kitchen making tea when they both heard the side door open to watch Jinta and Ururu walk in with shopping bags.

"Why, don't you too look like you had a day at the market." Kisuke said as he laughed seeing all the bags.

"Well, you never know when that moocher is going to be back boss, have to make sure we have enough food." Jinta grumbled.

"Indeed. Speaking of guests, we have one you two. She is upstairs resting, so I want you guys to keep it quiet, okay?" Jinta and Ururu looked at him both nodded in agreement, before continuing to unpack the groceries.

Kisuke stood and made his way down to his lab. Once he was inside he opened a cabinet pulling out a box that was only slightly covered in dust, proving that it had been awhile since he opened it. Kisuke knelt in front of the box slowly opening the latch and its cover. Inside a short katana was resting on a purple pillowed interior. The hilt was wrapped in a purple ribbon that hung loosely at the end. Tied to the hilt was a small patchwork faceless doll with another small wolf doll stitched to the right hand. Kisuke smiled at it remembering the day that was given to her.

FLASHBACK

Kisuke was walking with Mayuri towards the forested area of the north Rukon District where he knew he would find Kimiko. He knew she hated today, and always secluded herself, even Shunsui didn't try to interact with her, just always gave her the day off.

"Don't be surprised if she is angry at us when we arrive Mayuri." Kisuke said to his companion

"Don't know why you're dragging me along anyways." He grumbled but Kisuke knew he had grown quite fond of Kimiko ever since she protected him from a hollow, injuring herself in his place. It was the day his zanpakuto was released.

We walked into a clearing and Kisuke felt her presence in the trees.

"Why are you here Kisuke." She yelled.

"Well…. We wanted to see you, and your welcoming personality." He replied with enthusiasm. He watched as Kimiko jumped down from the trees glaring at Kisuke and Mayuri, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, narrowing her eyes.

"It's a special day you know… We wanted to give you your gifts." Kisuke said carefully, treading on dangerous ground, listening to Kimiko growl.

"Its just another day, go away. I want to be alone." She ground out turning her back to them.

Kisuke pushed Mayuri forward, ignoring the glare he got.

"Well, you know I didn't want to come here either! I could be working on my experiments, which is so much easier without you around touching things." Mayuri shouted as he rustled through his pockets pulling out a wrapped package.

"Here…. This is clearly the worst thing I have ever made, so its perfect for you." He pushed the package towards her causing her to turn to him, gently taking the item. Once she took it he blushed and vanished. Kimiko looked at Kisuke who just smiled.

Kimiko slowly unwrapped the item and found a small patchwork doll dangling from a purple string stitched together and she noticed that from the right hand of the doll another doll was stitched in the shape of a wolf.

Kisuke watched as Kimiko slowly and gently rubbed her thumb over the doll, she looked up at him and she saw the unshed tears collecting in her eyes. He walked over to her slowly, and hugged her close, rubbing her back. He continued to watch her with a smile on her face as she pulled back, after a few moments, pulling out her zanpakuto and tying the doll to the hilt securely.

END FLASHBACK

Kisuke slowly grazed his fingers over the sword's sheath before he grasped it and turning to head back upstairs.

Kisuke slid his bedroom door open, seeing that Kimiko was asleep again, he quietly stepped inside, not making a sound. He brought the sword and leaned it against the wall as close to the bed as he could get. He took a step back, waiting to see what might happen.

Slowly, the zanpakuto started to glow and flow towards Kimiko's body enveloping her in a dark blue glow. Kisuke narrowed his eyes, watching as the light grew stronger on her back and head where she was injured.

'Human my ass. ´ Kisuke thought to himself smiling.

It was the middle of the night when Kimiko stirred awake. She pushed herself up into a half sitting position, letting her eyes adjust to the dark. She slowly moved her back, expecting pain, but felt none, nothing from her head either. She glanced around the room using the moonlight shining from the window as light. She smiled as she saw Kisuke asleep leaning against the wall across from the bed she was in. A shining glint caught her eye and she turned to see what it was, she gasped silently when she saw it was Suiro, her zanpakuto.

'How...' She thought to herself before shifting in the bed.

"You should be resting still." She heard Kisuke say to her. Kimiko cast her eyes to him as he looked at her from under that infuriating hat of his, that he amazingly still had. She smiled at him before raising an eyebrow.

"I'm so glad that over these last one hundred years you still have a horrible sense of fashion. I cannot believe you still have that ridiculous hat and those damn clogs."

Kisuke laughed at her lightly pushing himself up to stand and walk towards her.

"I still believe you will grow to love this hat and these clogs." He replied with his trademark grin. He sat on the edge of the bed pushing her hair back that had fallen from her ponytail. "How are you feeling?"

Kimiko smiled softly at him before sighing. "No pain at all, which is surprising."

"Not really…." Kisuke replied, still pushing her hair back, while pulling her ponytail undone, allowing her bright red hair to cascade around her.

"Not really?"

"I had a theory. After that night…" Kisuke started to say but stopped unable to say anything else. Kimiko raised her hand and placed it on the side of his face. The motion caused Kisuke to stare into her eyes.

"That night, when you were pulled away from me and I was arrested along with Tessai, unknowingly Mayuri grabbed your zanpakuto. He was bright enough to know that Tessai and I would escape, clearly not under Aizen's zanpakuto yet. The night Tessai, Yoruichi, and myself were escaping he found us, handed me a box with your zanpakuto in it. Said that you would have wanted me to have it. Though he was surprised, that it didn't die with you and disappear."

Kisuke chuckled to himself. "Clearly I am not as smart as I think I am, I didn't notice after these one hundred years that it never disappeared as it should have, meaning you weren't dead." Kisuke moved one of his hands to run his thumb under Kimiko's eye before sliding down to her neck, resting on her pulse.

"After your comment about being only human, which I don't believe, I decided to test my theory. I brought Suiro up here while you were sleeping and watched as he glowed and healed you." Kisuke finished.

Kimiko gasped before turning her head slightly to look at her zanpakuto and smiling. Kisuke turned her head back to him before resting his forehead against hers. He nuzzled his nose against hers, while the hand at Kimiko's neck lightly grazed at her collarbone causing her to shiver.

Kisuke paused as he kept her gaze. He slowly leaned towards her and kissed her lightly, unsure. After a few moments Kimiko pushed her lips against his wholeheartedly. Kisuke deepened the kiss, letting his hand slide from her neck to her waist and his other buried into her hair. He gently pushed he back and placed one of his knees between her thighs, pushing against her.

Kimiko slowly began to grind herself against his leg, grazing his length ever so slightly each time. Kimiko pulled back from the kiss to look into Kisukes eyes breathing heavy. She reached for the tie in his shirt to undo it and push it off his shoulders leaving his upper body exposed, running her hands down his chest.

Kisuke kissed her again, lifting her shirt, only breaking the kill so he could pull the shirt over her head, before moving to unclasp her bra and lowing that to land with the shirt. He raised his hand to cup her right breast while using his thumb to circle her nipple, smiling at her gasp of satisfaction.

Kimiko reached her hands between them to untie his pants next and push them down his hips, he pulled back to help her remove the rest of his clothing. He kneeled between her legs with his erection on full display for her. It had been so long since she had seen him like this.

Kisuke saw she was getting distracted, so he ran his hand down her stomach reaching her pants, undoing the button, he grabbed the waist band and pulled it and her panties down her legs. Once he had the offending clothing removed, he trailed his hands back up her legs slowly causing her to sigh.

"Are you sure?" Kisuke asked

"Absolutely." She reassured him as he smiled leaning in for another deep kiss. He let his fingers trail up to her center feeling how moist she already was, and he groaned.

"I'll take more time later." He mumbled against her lips as he positioned himself so he could push himself into her body slowly, causing her to moan loudly. He pushed himself fully into her, and they both cried out in pleasure. Kisuke felt her warm walls squeeze around him as he began to thrust into her, slowly at first but than he picked up his pace. He felt her legs raise and wrap around his waist as his thrusts became more frequent and erratic, trying to get as deep as he could into her.

Kimiko was panting and clawing at his back. She moaned burying her face into his neck kissing and sucking matching his thrusts.

"Kisuke… I want to feel you come with me." She whispered into his neck.

Kisuke had never heard a more urgent or compelling request. He lowered his head to her neck nipping at the sensitive area where her neck and shoulder met while picking up his speed and thrusting harder into her, groaning as she arched her back into him.

"Kisuke…." She started to moan loudly but he silenced her with his kissed capturing the cry. Her muscles clamped around his erection as an orgasm rocked her body. Her spasms continued as she moaned into his kiss, bring him to his own climax. He grunted loudly and shut his eyes tightly as he released into her warmth. They were both panting and sweating as he laid his body on top of hers.

After a few moments to regain his composure Kisuke pulled himself out of her and rolled to his side. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his chest, kissing the back of her neck. Kimiko moved slightly but his arm tightened around her waist.

"Don't go…" Kisuke whispered.

She smiled at him before replying "I'm not going anywhere, just grabbing the blankets." She reached towards the end of the bed and pulled the sheets and comforter up around them settling back into his embrace.

"Good night, Kimiko… Welcome home." Kisuke whispered into her hair.

"Good night Kisuke…" she replied, allowing sleep to claim her.
