A Lovers Kiss (Bleach/Ichigo) Chap 26

Ichigo stirred, last time he had consciousness he was freezing, and felt numb. Now he felt very warm and was on a soft surface. He slowly opened one eye then opened them both in shock. He saw Tessai looming over him extremely close, the first thing Ichigo did was shiver.

“Oh! You’re getting Goosebumps! What a relief!” The second thing Ichigo did was try and force Tessai off him.

“TOO CLOSE!! YOU’RE TOO CLOSE!!”

“Manager!! Ichigo has regained consciousness!!”

“I know you!! You’re with Geta boushi (Hats N’ Clogs; Ichigo’s nickname for Urahara), aren’t you?! Why are you in bed with me?!” As Ichigo finally got Tessai off him he sat up but instantly felt pain in his shoulder, then he felt a batch of hair under his hand. He looked down and saw you, an irk mark on your forehead.

“Great now I have a head ache… I never knew you were that loud.” You said as you rubbed your forehead and sat up slowly. To your relief and Ichigo’s minor disappointment you were wearing a boggy undershirt, but you felt the bandages under your shirt, they were in the same areas as Ichigo.

Then, Ichigo panicked, “Wait!! We slept in the same bed?!”

“What’s the problem? Your dad used to make us sleep in the same bed during sleep overs all the time.”

“Yeah but back then we were little kids! Now we’re- we’re-!!“

“Uh oh, you two shouldn’t move around like that, your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. If you keep moving around you can die.” Urahara said coming in, his cheeky smile as always.

“Geta Boushi!”

You looked around; you didn’t recognize this place, or at least this room, “So… this must be your house.”

“Correct.” Urahara said as he closed his fan.

“You… saved us?” Ichigo solemnly asked.

“What’s this? Your tone is unexpected; you make it sound as I have done something wrong.”

Ichigo stayed silent for a moment, “Oh right!!” He yelled abruptly making you jump in fright, “Did you also find Uryuu? How is he? Is he here too?”

“No sir, he is already gone. He lost a lot of blood but his injury wasn’t vital. So I treated him on the spot. When he left though, he was worried about the two of you. I even told him to rest here for a while, but he declined stating that you and Emi have to be in tip top shape, since you are the only ones to can beat those ‘bastard’.” He quote and un-quote.

“This is bullshit!!” Ichigo yelled, “What the hell do they expect us to do?! Rukia is already back at soul society!! How can we follow her there?! How the hell are we going to rescue her?! There’s no way!!”

“Do you really think there is no way to get into soul society?” Urahara said his voice low and serious.

“So there is a way?!”

“How?! How can I get there?! Tell me!!”

Urahara held up his index finger signaling Ichigo to pause, ”However, under one condition. Starting from now for ten days you both will learn how to fight properly with me.”

Ichigo jumped to his feet, “Shit!! So you’re telling us to train?! Do you think we have time for that?! You don’t know when Rukia's going to be executed! We should be trying to get there as fast as possible!”

“You are one exasperating person,” It all happened so fast, one second Ichigo was standing arguing with Urahara, the next Urahara has him pinned on the floor with the tip of his cane at his forehead, “The point I am trying to make is, you will die if you go in your current state. Do you think you two can win, if you fight with them now? I purposely let you fight them the previous time I thought it would be better for you to realize after you fought them and saw yourself. With your current skill, you won’t stand a chance fighting against the Soul Society. You both are weak; weakling barging into enemy territory is suicide. Get your head back on; you don’t see Emi acting the way you do you?! She knows and understands the situation we are all in now, and it’s time you understood it also.”
