Unless He's a Matchless Match
Yoruichi was having a blast. The university had insisted on throwing this party in honor of her engagement to Kisuke, and not only was it turning out to be better than most parties the university threw, but it also gave her a chance to survey her handiwork of the past year or so. All of the couples that she and Kisuke had conspired to get together had been invited, and it was nice to see just how well their work had gone.
For example, the younger set at the party had found a corner of the room and marked it out as their territory. Rukia was perched on the arm of Ichigo's chair while he and Ishida were engaged in an intense conversation. Given the looks on the two men's faces and their gestures, Yoruichi would guess that the topic was probably sports of some sort. Rukia was chatting with Orihime and Momo. The three of them were giggling about something and kept casting glances over at the refreshment table where Hitsugaya was standing.
Rangiku was over in another corner with Gin. Given the woman's flushed cheeks and delighted smile, Yoruichi would guess they had been entertaining themselves quite well. Not that she blamed them. Making out in a corner was at times the sanest way to survive some of the parties that the university threw. Jyuushiro and Retsu had arrived at the party arm in arm, though they had split up by this point. Jyuushiro seemed to be ribbing Shunsui about something, probably the fact that he had arrived at the part with one Dr. Nanao Ise on his arm. The English department's newest doctor looked like she felt a little out of place, but she was chatting with Retsu and Isane, and they would put her at ease.
It seemed that all of the couples she and Kisuke had set up were doing well. It had definitely been a fun project to work on, and it had definitely been quite entertaining. And for once, Yoruichi had managed to go six months without being called on the carpet for some sort of shenanigan. Kisuke hadn't blow anything up in months either. The science labs were very pleased about that. Their year's expenses were down for a change, and they weren't having to shuffles people around while repairs were taking place.
"Don't tell me you're up to more mischief, Princess. You look like a cat that's got the canary."
Yoruichi laughed and kissed Kisuke soundly. "I'm just pleased with our work. Aren't you? Everyone seems much happier now."
Kisuke just shook his head and grinned at her. "No more scheming until after the wedding. I can only juggle so many sets of plans at a time. Besides, who's let to get together?"
Yoruichi just grinned.
