Chapter 15- Winter Festival Encounter
Sayas POV:
I was surprised to see that Isao had respected my decision from that confusing night, dismissing it as I did. We carried on as if it never happened, finding it intriguing to be on the other side of such distant acts. I now found myself wanting to ask questions of his feelings as Kisuke and Koga constantly did to me when I had put them in the same situation. Over time, I found that he was much like me, head strong and filled with a drive bound by emotions that were best left unfulfilled. His want for me much like my want for Kisuke, I sympathized with his strife yet declined his subtle advances that often were tests of my weakness. A game that I had learned to play long ago.
Finally granted some reprieve from our tedious schedules by the newly appointed Captain of the Royal Guard, Hikifune announced that we would be allowed permission to enter the Soul Society for the Winter Festival, but only for one day of our choosing. A time of peace and play for all shinigami, I always enjoyed the winter festival but some how I felt this trip to be more than just a time to get away more like an announcement of Kirio's new title and quite possibly a test . Regardless, we all were in need of a short pause in our hectic lives, granting us freedoms that we left behind when we chose this life. Yet my heart teetered on the announcement of this news. Something inside of me felt the bubble popping with a turn of events that I couldn't stop. It had been a little over year since I had seen Kisuke and I had became terrified by the man that he had now become. Would he be happy to see me I questioned myself, bringing to mind that so much had changed in that short amount of time. Consistent in his pursuit, I finally gave into Kogas constant requests and agreed to make the trip back for the Winter Festival Party with him. Amazed that he patiently controlled himself around me I felt that it would be a safer bet than attending with Isao. Although watchful of me, Koga had changed, grown up if you will, during our training in the Royal Guard. It gave me hope that he could handle this retreat as just friends.
Excited and finally set on the date of our entrance I sent a Hells Butterfly at the request on my captain to announce our attendance. Hoping that Kisuke would hear of it and be there to greet me, I rushed back to my living quarters to prep myself for the event. In uniform, I let my hair down and smiled while the silght curls bounced as I applied a touch of make-up to accentuate my eyes, cheeks and lips.
A knock at my door "Saya" Koga hollered out.
I felt almost giddy with anticipation as I flipped my hair walked out the door to meet and prep Koga in the night to come. Upon opening the door I was greeted with a bow.
"What are you doing Koga?" I asked.
Standing upright he was accompanied with a large devilish grin, "Why greeting you my beautiful Hime!"
Rolling my eyes, I scolded him for his answer, "First of all this is not a date! Do you understand?!" He stood before me, his eyes smiling in silence shaking his head in agreement, "Second of all, please behave yourself and don't make me regret letting you escort me tonight!"
Without one more word he extended out his hand, allowing my to walk in front of him as we made our way to the senkaimon with the others. I could feel the darkness radiate from his being as we walked down the path. It was like I had a heightened sense of all of my surroundings; followed by uncontrolled releases of spiritual pressure under stress. A feeling that had continued to grow upon my arrival. Although the feeling was slightly unsettling, I attributed it to my new surroundings and dismissed it entirely.
Anxiety suddenly overwhelmed my soul as we walked through the Portal, terrified by the possibilities that came with my entrance back into Kisuke's life, even for this brief time.
"Are you ready my Hime?' Koga asked as he grabbed my hand to guide me through the grand doors of Kuruchki Manor.
The main hall was swarming with shinigami of all classes dancing, drinking and enjoying the night of utter paradise from the typical day that they led. I scanned the room looking for my former love only to come up empty on my search. As the night continued on I searched through the waves of individuals, exchanging pleasantries along the way from the corner that we collectively claimed as a group. I finally came to terms with the fact that he would not be attending as the hours passed and the party was winding down. I lounged back in the plush chair; my eyes slowly rose from the floor revealing the one person that I longed to see. So overjoyed to finally gaze upon his presence that I almost bypassed the captain’s jacket that covered his shoulders sending my heart crashing to the ground.
Koga's hands slid down the sides of my arms, placing his lips next to my ear he spoke out in success, "Looks like he is out of you league now huh!"
I glanced back at him with disgust my stare, our faces close enough to feel each other’s breath, "I wouldn't worry about him though, I'm sure he has found a comfortable place within a certain captains bed to keep him content!" his brows, smug in tone and smile.
I stood up shoving him back from me.
"Go to Hell Koga!" I snapped back as he laughed, tossing back the last of his drink then swaggered away in victory.
My body shook with anger form his words, left there to try and convince myself that they was no truth in his statement. Kisukes presence suddenly cloaked my person from behind; awakening a passion that raged in my body that had been penned up since the day I left the Soul Society with the warm touch that graced my arm. The heat from his breath sent shivers down my spine creating an excitement that pulsed through my being.
"I'm sorry that I kept you waiting." his hand gently swiped my hair back leaving my neck naked and venerable to his potential advances.
Afraid to look into his soft grey eyes I glanced over my shoulder and stared at his lips; breathing in the slight smell of sake on his breath. His hand ran down the length of my arm and took hold of my hand, interlocking our fingers he guided my hand to his welcoming lips for a kiss.
A quick huff released from my throat, "You're a captain? Didn't you think that would be something that I might like to know!"
His lips trembled as his mind searched for the right words to answer my statement, "Yes, did you really not know?! I figured that your captain would have let you know since she was one of two that put my name up for the promotion."
My heart raged, feeling deceived again by my superior I scanned the room for her but quickly realized that she had already retired from the party. His grip intensified as my body spun around to follow him to the dance floor, finally pulling me into him. Our bodies pressed tightly against each others as we swayed to the music that danced through the air like a theme song to our now forbidden love. Not wanting to break the silent romance that we both had waited so long to rekindle we held back our questions and took in every touch creating a full body ache that we could both feel. His hands gently rubbed up and down my bare upper back as my hands ran up his neck and softly tugged at his hair. Our noses brushed as we gazed into each other’s eyes openly baring our love for each other again like we had had never parted ways. Knowing that this was the only way that we could shadow our affection in public we continued in our sensual embrace; holding on for dear life as we waited for each song.
Dangerously close, and practically making love with our clothes on, he broke the silence brushing his cheek to mine and whispering in my ear, “I don't think that I have ever wanted you more than I do now! How do you cast this spell over me?"
Releasing my grip from the back of his neck, my I dragged my hands across his shoulders and down his chest. My nails lightly scratched through his shirt.
"I think you want what you can't have!" I said back, playfully smiling and biting my lip; half serious given the circumstances aligned with our new situation.
He sighed tilting his head up then playfully begged, “Come back to my with me to my captains quarters tonight! I promise we won't be found out." his face now serious as his grip on my waist, "I need you… I want you… I love you!"
A lump stuck in my throat and my eyes automatically became glossy with tears as I was forced to give an answer against every fiber of my being.
"No...You know as well as I do that will just make it harder Kisuke! " I pushed him away breaking from his embrace, "I can't do it again!"
Turning to make way outside; I grabbed my hiori and raced up the stairs toward the open doors stopped by Koga's voice, "Where are you off to in such a hurry my hime? I was about to step in for a dance." he pulled me into him and leaned in to kiss me only finding me cheek as turned my head a shoved him back in disgust.
"Why do you have to be such an asshole Koga?" I snapped at him as I shoved him away.
Again I turned for the door in dire need of some fresh air only to find myself buried back in Kisukes rippling chest; his hands holding onto the back of my biceps. A flash of light from a camera blinded me for a second followed by a playful gasp from Yourichi.
"Oh well look at that!" she yelled out gaining the attention of the crowded around us, "It looks like you two are our first victims of the dreaded mistletoe!" she smirked at us holding the spirited cluster over our heads.
Subtle as always, she looked over at Koga as she continued, "Come on Kisuke give her a kiss! You don't want to break tradition you?"
The room around us seemed to stop as his hand gently took hold of my face our lips crashed and he held back nothing; surprising the spectators with the execution of no mere kiss but an blatant expression of pure unbridled love. A kiss that left my mind swimming as a the light from the camera yet again engulfed us, capturing our intimate public display for all of time and bringing an end to the mind numbing moment. Instantly I felt my arm yank back, spinning me around now face to face with Koga.
"You call that a kiss Captain?!" Koga hollered out.
Knowing that Kisuke would be unable to publicly object or strike back he forced his strong lips to mine as I squirmed finally breaking free from his grasp and storming out the door. Into the frigid night I searched for a moment of normalcy. My stomach churned as the adrenaline rushed through my body attempting to take in deep breaths to calm myself I closed my eyes, tortured by the images from the loving kiss that I had just received from the one man that I would lay my life down for.
The softest touch fell on the small of my back as I was covered by my haori and tucked into the side of my love. Handing me a glass of water the words that he held in earlier now willingly fell from his lips.
"I know that it feels hopeless but I promise you that it isn't. I did this for you, for us!"
I took a sip from the glass still not knowing exactly what to say, "I can’t let you risk your place as a captain for me... and I don't want to be your dirty little secret either! Tonight was a mistake; I should have just stayed away."
I handed him back the glass and walked over toward a covered area away from anyone's curious ears. Standing there with all my fears weighing on me, it had been a long road I thought as I looked down at those hands that I left my tears in over a year ago.
The random thoughts that bounced in my mind were now released into words before I could even think of what I had said.
"Have you ever stopped to think that maybe we just aren't meant to be together? That maybe we weren't meant for do or die."
A look washed across his face as if I had stabbed him in the heart, letting every fear come to life in his words.
"Do you even hear yourself? How could you say that after everything that we have been through together?" his voice now low and forceful, "You wouldn't have hesitated before! Why are you now? Have you found someone else?"
I leaned into him angry at his accusation, "I will not even dignify that with an answer! You are the one that I should be questioning with all of the whispers about you and Yourichi!"
His posture became erect and his eyes went dark, calm in voice once again.
"Do you think it's easy for me while you are there with Koga?! Everything that I do, I do for you! When are you going to understand that!"
His eyes darted around as if battling in his mind on what to say next, "So tell me what You want.. I'm not sure that I know anymore! Do you...do you still love me?"
"Yes, with every fiber of my being! Every night I have dreamed of the day that I would return the Soul Society and back to your arms like I promised. Ready to openly share our lives together, free from everything that had plagued our love before only to be presented with a new barrier." My body now like putty with his sheer presence, "This time so much is at stake, if you are caught with a non captain class shinigami you could be striped of your captainship and forbidden to even see each other. I couldn't live with myself if I was the cause of that!"
Still stoic in his posture he glanced around once more, suddenly pulled me into him and flash stepped us out of the view of watchful eyes. His grip loosened as we found ourselves alone in a small wooded area close enough to still hear the voices of the partygoers. Away from peering eyes he transformed back into the man that I once knew. The loving, passionate, tender man that that I fell in love with and wanted to share my life with instead of the strong cold captain that he had to now portray. His eyes, so soft and glowing with an intense passion that was now reflected in his words.
“Don’t you think that I want that too! When you return I promise that we will be together... Somehow!" his fingertips ran the line of my jaw as lips delicately pressed to mine; placing his forehead to mine he pleaded again, "Can you just trust that!"
We desperately held each other close not wanting to let go within the near future. In that moment we were both content to stay there forever if it meant that we would be free to love one another. Our world filled with an endless song of a love so blind. Such an easy solution to a difficult problem; I had to trust him, I had to believe that we could indeed be together again.
The sound of hands clapping together from a one man audience coupled with an evil laugh drew closer as I pulled away from Kisuke revealing a vengeful Koga.
"Oh, am I interrupting something... Captain?" he sarcastically asked.
Kisuke grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him as if to shield me while Koga continued.
"I certainly hope that you are saying your goodbyes. We wouldn't want anyone to misinterpret this situation now would we?" his smirk now seethed with vengeance as he extended his hand toward me, "Come my hime, I’m so sorry but we have been summoned back and I feel like I should save you from yourself!"
I plummeted into despair at the thought of Koga taking me from the man I love became a reality. I squeezed his hand tightly and grabbed his captain’s hiori from behind as if I was holding on to him for dear life. With one grip, it seemed that my fears transferred to Kisuke as he shouted out with little regard for the consequences.
"I know that you couldn't possibly love her but do you even care about her in the slightest?" he paused to look back at me with such a loving fire in his eyes then turned back to face the demon of a man that stood before us to continue with a voice as soft as thunder, "Do you ache to hold her close, to kiss her, and call her your own? Do you know what it’s like to fall asleep and dream of her in your arms only to wake up devastated that she isn't there! When she laughs, do you feel your soul smile? When she cries, do you want to wipe away her tears and comfort her? When she is scared or in danger, do you want to protect her? When you hold her close, do you feel like you’re meant to hold her? Because I do!! I always have!" his grip tightened on my hand then pulled around tucking me into his chest; an act of love and solidarity. "She isn't a toy for you to play with or a prize to be won Koga!"
He chuckled at Kisukes statement, "You are pathetic Urahara! None of that matters now...because I have won! She will be mine again, mark my words." He paused to scan my reaction, "Even if I have to force her! Your hands are tied and I will enjoy watching you squirm as I take her for my own!"
He spoke as if I wasn't even there, enraged by his ridiculous comments I broke from Kisukes embrace pulled Zen from his sheath and let the poisonous words drip from my lips.
"You will never have me...I would rather die than be with you!"
His laughter increased in tone, pissing me off even more. All control became lost as lunged for him only to be stopped by Kisukes hand gripping my wrist; able to hold me back with only one hand. The tug that came the opposing force from both directions had me fall to my knees; questioning his action with my eyes. My body grew cold with the sound of twigs crunching under toe of an approaching spiritual pressure.
"What the Hell is going on here!" yelled out the parental voice of my new captain as her dark figure came into focus through the moonlight. We all fell silent as she stared at our predicament, "Well Captain can you shed any light on this situation?"
I looked back at him as fear courses through his eyes, an emotion that I had never seen in him before. The loving, passionate, gentle man that I was so happy to see, like a chameleon, reverted again to a cold unemotional shell. Tearing my hope apart and my dream to shame, he directed his observation back to Hikifune.
There was warmth in his voice, but it was still cold. It was a voice of authority. "Just an argument that got a little out of hand...that's all!" hand still gripping my wrist his thumb caressed my forearm a silent reminder of his love and devotion for me.
I stood up to my feet tying my story with his, "Yes, I'm sorry Tiacho it was my fault!" bowing down to her in an exaggerated apology for my behavior.
Koga scoffed then agreed, "Yes...an argument!"
As her eyes darted between the three of us I couldn't help but wonder if she had already seen the truth. Was this all part of the bigger plan? Was that why she let this happen?
"Really?!" she questioned as she stared directly at me with a half smirk; bringing all of my questions to light.
Taking a hold of her zanpukato she placed it in the ground whispering out into the night…“The door across time opens to another lifeline akeru senkaimon" opening the portal back to the royal guard barracks. "I will deal with you both when we return! Now let’s go!"
Koga glanced over at us then walked right through, but I hesitated turning to Kisuke to place my hand over his heart as he did the same and intensely whispered to me, "I know! My word is my bond... Just believe in me!"
I nodded my head then turned and walked toward the portal letting his hand slide down my arm all the way though to my fingertips; neither of us wanting to let go. Our memories always haunted, we were caught in an endless scene of goodbyes.
