A Day with Unohana

Soul Society: Unohana's office
Unohana POV

Unohana was packing her things into a small bag when Captain Kuchiki walked in. "Captain Unohana. The Head-Captain wants to know if your preparations are complete?" the stoic man asked. The woman nodded as she zipped her bag shut.

"I am. I was just thinking of where to go for lodgings while I'm in Karakura Town. Do you have any ideas?" she asked. She thought about getting a hotel room while she was in the World of the Living but she didn't like the idea of staying in a blank, bland hotel room.

Byakuya thought about it for a moment. "Kisuke Urahara would be willing to accommodate you. He and Yoruichi Shihoin have sheltered Renji in the past so I see no reason why they'd object." He gave the matter some more thought. "Also, you could go by Orihime Inoue's to see if she will allow you to stay; Lieutenant Matsumoto speaks fondly of her."

Unohana nodded. "What about Ichigo Kurosaki? I am supposed to help him with his hollow hunting after all." She knew the answer but she wanted to hear the man's opinion himself.

Byakuya's face turned from stoic to annoyance. "I wouldn't bother. Not unless you intend to stay in the boy's closet like he had Rukia."

The motherly captain chuckled. "Yes, I heard all about it from her. Still, I should go by and talk to him anyway. If you'll excuse me, Captain Kuchiki." The captain stood aside as Unohana picked up her bag and walked by him, her destination the Senkaimon….

Several Hours Later….
Ichigo's Room 9:57 PM
Ichigo POV

Ichigo was sitting in his room waiting. His friend Keigo was sitting in a chair opposite him. The pair was trying to catch up on their homework. "So Ichigo," his friend asked curious. "Who's the Soul Reaper coming to town? Is it Rukia or Rangiku?" he asked hopeful.

The substitute narrowed his eyes at the implication Keigo was making. "No Keigo, it's neither of them. It's a Captain named Retsu Unohana. She's here to take some of the load off my back so that I catch up on my schoolwork. I asked if Rukia or Renji could come but she was the only person that the Head-Captain could spare."

Keigo's mind did a rewind of all the Soul Reaper friends of Ichigo he met after his terrifying run-in with Aizen. "Wait, you mean the hot MILF one with the black braid?" Ichigo's deadpanned face told him he was right on the money. "Wow Ichigo, you get to spend quality time with a hot lady like her? Lucky bastard…."

Ichigo had to suppress the urge to grab a textbook and smack Keigo with it. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Keigo looked at the prude with a sad look. "Ichigo! This is your chance to become a real man! How can you say no to something like that? You…" Keigo stepped back appalled. "You're not gay, are you?"

That time Ichigo DID hit him with a textbook. "I'm NOT GAY, Keigo!"

Nursing his sore head, Keigo looked at his friend angrily. "Then what's the problem. Because in my manly professional opinion, Ichigo: You need to get laid. Big time!"

Grinding his teeth, Ichigo held the textbook threateningly. "No, Keigo. I'm not sleeping with Captain Unohana!"

"Why not?"

"Because!"

Keigo's eyebrow rose. "Because what?"

Ichigo kept getting angrier by the second. This was a line of thinking he didn't want to go down. "I'm not attracted to her. She's not my type. I would not think of having sex with a woman like her!" When Keigo's eyes widened and he tried to speak Ichigo swatted him with the book again. "I'll say it again I don't find Captain Unohana attractive! AT! ALL!"

"Oh? Is that so, Ichigo?"

All of the blood in Ichigo's body froze at the words. They didn't come from Keigo and they came directly behind him. With a pale face, Ichigo turned around.

There, sitting on his windowsill was Captain Unohana; and she did NOT look happy. Her eyes were narrowed and they bore into Ichigo like they were trying to drill into his soul. Ichigo stood rooted to the floor, unable to even breathe.

Keigo looked at Unohana and then looked at Ichigo. "Well uh…I can see you two have work to do. I'll uh…I'll see myself out…." And with that, Keigo made himself scarce, feeling terrified by the look in the woman's eyes. Once he left Ichigo's room Keigo ran and didn't stop until he made it back home, where then he jumped into his bed and hid under the sheets all through the night until dawn came….

Ichigo gulped as Unohana stood up, setting a small bag onto his bed. "Captain Unohana. I uh…" he honestly didn't know what to say. He just hoped that the woman would give him the decency of a swift death.

Sadly, the look in Unohana's eyes killed that hope. "Is this a bad time, Ichigo? Or should I stay with somebody else who doesn't continuously demean me and call me unattractive?"

"Captain Unohana, I didn't-"

Unohana sat down on his bed and crossed her arms before cutting him off. "No, I believe you were fiercely adamant on how you found me to be unattractive. So don't bother telling me that you didn't mean it." Like Ichigo had been before, Unohana was getting angrier by the minute and it showed. Her spiritual pressure went from warm and sweet, like a mother's hug, to cold and malicious. It was like Ichigo was looking at a female version of Kenpachi!

Recognizing that he was about 5 seconds from a slow and painful death, Ichigo took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "I'm sorry, Captain Unohana." He bowed his head in apology. "Keigo got me all riled up. It's not that I don't find you attractive. It's just that I don't really try to think about that sort of thing when it comes to women. If there's anything I could do to make up it you, I'd be happy to do it to show I'm truly sorry."

A tense silence hung in the air. Ichigo felt sweat start to drip down his face as he waited, hoping that he'd just saved himself.

"Anything?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.

Ichigo looked up and saw that she'd calmed down. "Um…yes captain."

Unohana thought about it for a moment before finally replying. "Very well, Ichigo. I can see that you're trying to be sincere at least. I've nothing to do tomorrow. So you'll accompany me while I walk around and get my bearings on Karakura Town. Deal?"

Ichigo quickly nodded, mentally sighing in relief. If that was all he had to do then he was off the hook. "Deal. I'd be happy to show you around town."

"Thank you, Ichigo. Now then," she handed the boy her bag. "These have all my personal effects. You can leave them in your closet."

As Ichigo complied he asked the obvious. "Um…Captain Unohana? Where are you going to be sleeping?"

The woman shrugged out of her Haori, putting it on Ichigo's chair. "I'm not sleeping on the floor. And I'm not sleeping in that cramped closet. I'll be sleeping with you in your bed. But that shouldn't be a problem, is it?" she asked with an angry look in her eye. "Since you don't find me attractive and all, then you shouldn't feel embarrassed to be in the same bed with an older woman."

Ichigo gulped as the woman pulled back the blanket and slid into bed. He turned out the light and quickly climbed into bed. Turning his back to her he silently prayed to whoever was up there that tomorrow would go smoothly and that he would survive it without needing therapy.

When he felt Unohana's arms wrap around him and pull him against her, making him blush as he felt her breasts press against his back, he had the feeling that that prayer was going to be left unanswered….
