Chapter 9- Materialized Desire
Saya’s POV:
The week seemed to race by after I was introduced to Koga’s parents and became more aware of the complexities of his noble heritage. His mother worked very hard to be as nice as possible to me but it was very apparent that she was not happy with his selection every time that I Koga and I went out to train with our zanpakutos.
She constantly made comments like, “I still believe a lady should hold a child not a sword” or “A woman is to be protected, not her own protector.”
His father was not much better, as a judiciary member of The Central 46 he looked down on our association with the Soul Society, making it clear that Koga should have taken the same path as he had. I tried to stay out of the way of them all; spending most of my time roaming the extensive grounds, reading and retreating to the more sheltered areas to practice my flash step and kido. Adding insult to injury Koga didn’t make it easy as he continued to dress me up like a doll in elaborate kimonos made out of satin that allowed little movement. As if he was training my for the life of a noble wife. Gaining quite a bit of disgust as I came back with rips and dirt in my attire day after day, they finally allowed me to wear my uniform. Constantly under the watchful eye of his family. By the end of the week, I grew more tired of being there and being suppressed by my childish fears, now anxious to get back to the Soul Society.
As we laid under a tree overlooking the extensive grounds I planted the seed in Kogas mind, “I think I’m ready to go back now” I said to him.
I could feel him his eyes stare through me, “Don’t you like it here?” he asked.
I turned my head to look over at him, “It’s beautiful but it’s not me Koga… it’s not my life”
A soft smile covered his face, “It could be!” he said back as he tucked my hair behind my ear. I quickly sat up, terrified of the rest of the sentence that would follow, “If you married me!”
Eyes wide with surprise and sadness I shook my head no, “Oh Koga... I’m so sorry! I just don’t want that right now. I don’t know if I ever will!”
The smile faded from his face leaving him only a look of distress as he looked out into the hills. When did it come to this? How did I allow this to happen? I asked myself.
“Do you love someone else?” he asked spitefully.
Not wanting to say yes, I avoided his question, “I like my life as a shinigami. You know that I want to become a captain!”
Desperate in his attempt to sway my decision he tried to appeal in another way, “I can give you so much more here! You will be treated like royalty.”
My body shook with a frustration; concerned with how little he knew causing me to snap back at him, “I don’t want to be royalty! I want to be a captain! That is what will make me happy!”
Struggling to deal with the rejection he stood up and straightened out his robes, “Fine, then let’s leave now… if that’s what will make you happy. I will let my parents know and get everything set.” then turned and proceeded back to the house, leaving me alone to ponder where we would go from here.
Still shocked by his asking of my hand, I thought of Kisuke for the first time since my departure from the Soul Society. I always hoped that Kisuke would be the one to ask me to marry him, however unlikely that situation. The thought made me laugh aloud and made me realize that the time at Kogas had it’s up side. It had allowed me to lick my wounds and understand that Kisuke and I had so much that time just couldn’t erase. Truth be told, I wouldn’t want it to take any of it back if I could! I stood up to stretch and take one last look at the sunset before heading back to the judgment of Kogas family.
Our arrival back to the Soul Society was quiet as Koga still tried to hold on to any glimpse of an opportunity that he had to be with me. Not knowing where we went from that conversation or even what we were anymore, I kept it all to myself. Distance seamed right at the time, I thought it was for the best to just immerse myself into my training once more. I dropped my bag down on the ground and decided to take a quick cat nap before I jumped back into my routine. As I lay there half awake the sound of someone knocking at my door caused me to stir. Another stern knock came as I stood up and whipped the sleep from my tired eyes.
Certain that it was Koga I whined out as I walked toward the door, "I'm not ready to talk about it and my answer is still no…. I will not marry you!”
Kisuke’s voice rang back “I’m glad that I didn’t ask then! But I’m now curios to talk about it!”
My chest instantly tightened up; could this day get any worse I thought to myself.
“Are you going to let me in?” he asked playfully as I stopped in my tracks noticing a small box on my desk with the Royal Guard seal upon the letter that I had left with Kisuke.
“No, I don’t want to deal with you either. I’m still mad at you!” I said as I walked over to my desk looking to investigate further.
I snatched it up to see Kisukes signature along with a short note, As long as this makes you happy -Love Lieutenant Kisuke Urahara.
No longer entertaining my resistance he lashed out with a playful sass that I had forgotten he had,“Damn it Saya! You know that I can bust this door down if I need to.”
Annoyed with the threat I hissed back, “You wouldn’t do it!”
“Try me!” he playfully hollered back, as my attention moved to the blue box.
“Its open idiot!” I said back with a slight chuckle.
He opened the door just in time to see my face light up as I took the sash out of the box. “It’s beautiful!” I whispered as I looked back over my shoulder at him.
A true happiness shined in his eyes as he watched my reaction and walked over, “I hoped that you would like it! Do you get it?"
Not understanding the question I shook my head no, “Get what?” I questioned him.
“The cherry blossom is from when we used to sit under them at the Soul Academy and the Dragonfly is for you’re the power that you and your zanpakutos share.”
I smiled as my heart soared at the gesture. He reached out to untie my plain white sash, dropping it to the ground then grabbing the one that he had given me. His hand brushed my right breast as he took it from my grip and wrapped it around my waist.
“Do you really like it?” he asked, securing it still holding onto my hips.
“I love it?” I said back as I hugged him.
Not skipping a beat he asked the question that had been on his mind as he hugged me back, “So, Marriage? He proposed? Are you still with him?”
I sighed as pulled away and slid back to sit on top of my desk “Yes” I said sadly; thinking of Kogas reaction to my answer.
His hand caressed my shoulder fully engaged in his questions and hunting for answers, “Is that what you want? I thought that you wanted to be a captain?”
Unsure myself and not knowing the best way to answer the questions I said what came to mind, “Maybe one day, but you know that I want to be a captain!”
I lost myself in the conversation as I could only focus on the fact that he knew exactly what I wanted and Koga had no idea. Somehow he always knew what I wanted and pushed me to do it.
A sigh of relief came from him as I struggled to catch back up in the conversation, “What question am I supposed to answer now?” I asked him.
He chuckled gently, “I think that I have your answer!” he said back in a low tone.
Placing his hands on either side of me he leaned into place his forehead to mine and closed his eyes, sending my heart racing “Then let’s do it together… become captains that is! We will push each other like we did when we were kids.”
I felt his head separate from mine but I kept my eyes closed for a second longer wanting to engrain that moment into my memories forever. I opened them as he placed his forefinger on the necklace that he gave me so long ago. Now apart of my body, I had forgotten that I even had it on. “We are in this together right?” As if to seal the deal he kissed my forehead gingerly.
“Yeah, together always!” I said back as I looked back at him with a smirk.
Feeling to seductive pull that we had on each other he quickly backed up, “I think it’s best if I go” he said wanting to get out of the uncomfortable situation that we so often found ourselves in “Besides, I know that you have plenty of things to do now that you are back.”
As he disappeared from my sight, I could only think of how lucky Yourichi was to have him by her side.
My captain kept his word as he set me up on a schedule with himself and Captain Shushui to work on my ability to fight with both of my zanpakutos at the same time. Pushing me to balance the power of the two polar opposites that I wielded and gain control over my techniques, escalating then to near captain strength. Many days I feared for my life as they attacked me with blood in their eyes, constantly reassuring me that this was the only way to get stronger. The rest of my free time was shared with Captain Hikifune as she pushed to summon my Bankai, driving me to the ends of abilities while creating more. She was amazing and so graceful as she fought, each strike making massive impact almost like she could read every move that I was going to make. Many days I thought that it might be my last, as I crashed into my bed night after night beaten and broken. My only sanity relied on Kisukes comment that he left me with…”Then let’s do it together!” Now I had a goal, to become a captain before him! And I wasn’t going to let him take that from me. Since my time was taken up with the elaborate training schedule, I had little time with Kisuke or Koga. I only had brief encounters with either of them, always pertaining to some type of work that I had to get done. My Days seemed to become one as night after night I was called upon to any Hollow sightings or other issues that would give me actual combat experience.
Kisukes secret relationship with Yourichi was becoming more apparent as my schedule had me fading from his life. She was in his office every time that I came to work with him and they played with each other back and forth like lovers would; teasing like we used to. A part of me was content for him to be happy with her but the other part was selfish and wanted him with me. Not wanting to be completely alone I gave in to Kogas advances once more, now setting clear lines of my intentions to just be friends with benefits, something that I never thought that I would do. Somehow it worked though, like the absence of the drama that goes with the relationship was what I needed at this time.
A couple months of training had rushed by as I walked back from the 12thDivision after a grueling afternoon with Captain Hikifune, only to be greeted by Kisuke leaning on the wall outside of the 13th Division entrance.
“So you are back with him?” he casually asked as my utter exhaustion caused me to snap.“Why does it matter to you? You are back with Yourichi too! Besides the last time I checked we are not together and that means that you have no say in who I sleep with!"
He stood up tall and began to walk over to me so that we didn't cause a screen, "What has gotten into you and what are you talking about?"
I rolled my eyes just wanting to avoid the same conversation for the hundredth time, "I'm done with this conversation... we both have seen the outcome, you get hurt, I get hurt and bam we are friends again. Let's just take out the middle and skip ahead!"
looking at me like he got hit with a ton of bricks, "I'm confused, are you just sleeping with Koga or are you actually back with Koga? Wait, back up, rule number one... I don't want to know that you are sleeping with anyone! Rule number two... I don't want to know what you do when you are with them! Rule number three... I would like a little warning before you bite my head off AND GO CRAZY!"
My mouth tightened as we stood face to face, "Fine, are you done? Is there anymore rules for me?" my arms flailing dramatically.
His frustration was apparent "Yes, no, maybe!"
Seeing the scattered look on his face I put my hand on his chest, hoping that my touch would ease his distress and end the conversation, "I'm just tired and I need some rest! I was almost killed by three captains today and just don't have the energy to argue with you right now"
To my surprise he bent down and tossed me over his shoulder and proceeded to take me in the direction of my room as I kicked and screamed along the way. We passed Captain Ukitake and Captain Shunshui enjoying some Sake and engaged in conversation outside by the Koi pond; getting in a good laugh at the spectacle that we played out for them. Their voices were louder than usual, most likely due to the amount of alcohol in their system; allowing me to hear their whole conversation like it was commentary,
"Star crossed lovers I see!" said Shunshui as he hit his friend on the top of his arm.
Ukitake laughed heartily, "You could say that! They are perfect for each other, I just can't wait for the day that they finally figure it out!"
I shot them both a look that quickly quieted their banter only left with muffled chuckles. Recognizing the surroundings of my room I yelled out pounding my fists to his back, "Kisuke Urahara put me down or I will kill you!"
He scoffed at my order, "I would love to see you try dear!" finally tossing me down on my bed.
"What the?" I yelled, “Are you insane?”
He shot me a look that made me cringe, “Would it surprise you after everything that you have put me through all of these years?” leaning into his words.
I let out a sarcastic laugh, “Oh please, don’t act like you are the only one that has suffered through whatever the hell this is!” pointing back and fourth between the two of us as I sat on the bed.
His eyes widened and fists balled up as he tried to maintain his control, "I don't know what Koga has done to you but if you are going to act like a bossy spoiled brat then I'm going to treat you like one!"
He was right, I was on edge and bossy, even a little spoiled. When did I become this person, I thought. How did I let this happen?
"I want my friend back, the woman that I fell on love with many years ago!" he moved back to the door, "When you find her, let her know that I'm looking for her!"
I sat in my bed wide eyed at what he had said. Before I knew it he was gone and I had my wish to be alone but I no longer wanted it. I could hear the chuckles from the captains as I walked over to my open door and slammed it shut, only causing more laughter to erupt and my anger to increase.
“Drunks!" I yelled out then flopped back into bed and screamed into my pillow like a little girl that got sent to her room.
The next few months were spent in my own silent torture, devoted to my skills and to my captain and mentors. I was determined to focus my attention on my work once again to as I silently nursed my wounds and sought to figure out what path would be the best for me as my mind seamed to constantly play a game of he loves me, he loves me not. For my own sanity I felt it essential to distance myself from the two people in this world that had a hold of me.
Kisukes POV:
This was it I told myself. That slimy bastard had finally found away to take her away and show her a life that I could never give her. That was just it, it was never a life that she had wanted so what was the draw to him. An escape from me? Every night those thought raptured my mind as I fell asleep begging to dream of nothing; to just let my mind rest. Each night brought me more of the peace that I had wished as the plans that Yourichi and I dictated in silence came together piece by piece. A long project of circumstance and regret I strived on, dedicated to decisions that I had made. Still in its infancy, we worked tirelessly to get everything up and running. My experiments became successful yet hidden, known to only a few that knew of what I was really doing in the shadows for the future of the Soul Society.
Upon word her return I quickly ran to her wanting to see that she was alright and hoping to see her reaction to the present that I had left. I should have know that door would be open as she left me outside in the cool air begging once more. The news of Koga asking Saya to marry him came as quite a shock but quickly dissipated as I watched her face light as she opened the box to see the sash. Her smile lit up my soul in a way that I desperately missed bringing fourth a clarity that I had felt before she left. I wanted her to be happy and I was willing to do whatever it too to make that happen. If she wanted to marry Koga than I would not stand in her way. If she wanted to be a captain then I would be there to help her in that task. I would be by her side no matter what from this day forward in some way, shape and/or form.
Our paths set and now a part of my greater plan I set forth all efforts to become better and stronger. One to help me in my journey but to help her on her road to happiness. As with her, I sunk my life into my craft spending may nights awake toying with my experiments in the pursuit to make a powerful instrument that’s true power lies in it's ability to sense the hearts of those around it, and to materialize their deepest desire… The Hogyoku.
Saya and I retreated to our commitment to each other to get us to a captain status. Both consumed by our training, we finally drifted apart as I had feared sending us back to our stable relationships of convenience while we interacted as friends much like how we were at the Academy before "we" happened. Although it hurt us both we knew that is was a necessary evil to get us to the points that we needed to be. No longer distracted by the All the while I heard Ukitakes words in the back of my head… I know some days seem hopeless, but give her time. She is worth fighting for! A must as we constantly battled holding back our true feelings with every interaction only driving us apart more and more as I watched Koga take full hold of her and her.
