It had been three months.
And, Ichigo had to say, he was happy to have the old Uryuu back now.
"Stupid Shinigami! What the hell do you think you're doing!" Uryuu's shout could be hear blocks away.
Well…
…sort of.
Ichigo laughed as his back met the wall, not a tad bit intimidated by the huffing Quincy. The blush that seemed present on Uryuu's cheeks nearly every time Ichigo came into contact just had that effect. Ichigo was about to give a smart retort when Uryuu's scowl disappeared and morphed into a sweet smile that got Ichigo's heart beating a little harder.
"Well…" Uryuu started and paused, adding a dramatic affect," since you asked nicely, I-chi-go"
Oh, god…even the way he says my name makes me want to take him right here, against the damn wall. Ichigo thought to himself, a dazed look coming across his face. Uryuu smirked at the sound of people outside.
"ICHIGO!"
"URYUU!"
Ichigo jumped and broke out of his reverie, Uryuu only laughed and walked to the window.
The bloody tease… Ichigo mentally cursed himself for falling easily to Uryuu's advances. The Quincy had probably felt their presence way before, and decided to punish Ichigo for it. Ichigo scowled. Uryuu peaked his head over the window sill and smiled. Without another word the Quincy had walked towards his door and started to leave.
"Well, are you coming or what?"
…
"Well well" Rukia grinned, standing in her small Shinigami form with Mitsukai behind her. "I see you've made a complete recovery." She took a few steps forward and hugged Uryuu as best she could. She noted a slightly colored patch of skin on his neck, a tad red. She laughed and shook her head at Ichigo as he came out of the apartment. "Of course I bet the recovery would have been faster if someone would let you rest and save your energy!" Rukia teased and Uryuu turned his head to hide his blush as Rukia ran to greet Ichigo.
"Uryuu-kun." Mitsukai smiled and Uryuu smiled softly.
"Mitsukai-chan."
Both moved forward at the same time and held the other in a tight embrace.
"I see you've become a Shinigami." Uryuu joked and Mitsukai bowed her head quickly with a slight laugh. She looked up, silver hair tied back by golden bands, and revealed two cobalt eyes. "Your eyes…" Uryuu trailed off and Mitsukai blushed lightly.
"Oh, hai um…" Mitsukai paused for a moment. "Both our spirits, mine and your mothers, where cleansed so the attributes that I had because of her soul disappeared." Mitsukai clarified. "Since I had already been searched for my entering in the Shinigami Academy was quick, as was my graduation due to the, er…'past training' I had received."
"Yes!" Rukia called out from beside Ichigo. "Mitsukai-chan here held my Taicho's interest and he got her on my squad." Rukia grinned from ear to ear. "She's a fifth seat now, but maybe later she can move up as a lieutenant of another division."
"That's great!" Ichigo beamed.
Uryuu smiled as well, but there was a single question bugging his mind.
"And…my mother?"
The air of accomplishment was undermined by silence and foreboding. Mitsukai bowed her head once more and Rukia took a few steps forward, placing her hand reassuringly on Uryuu's shoulder. Ichigo walked behind him and wrapped his arms around the Quincy's waist.
"There seems to have been something…"Rukia paused. "Something must have gone awry, and her soul never reached the Soul Society. I'm sorry, Uryuu-san."
Uryuu stayed silent and leaned back into the warm embrace.
…
Ryuuken had to come in early to work. One of his patients, a single woman named Misaki, was giving birth to her child. She wasn't meant to give birth-from his tests the child wasn't living properly, and was on the verge of death within the wound.
Ryuuken couldn't let this child die.
He gave simple instructions that Misaki followed, and by the time Misaki was on the verge of collapsing, A guttural cry resounded in the small room and Ryuuken cut the Umbilical cord, clipped it down with one of his medical instruments and proceeded to clean the infant.
The nurses cleaned up the afterbirth and the mess, helped Misaki up and then left the room. Ryuuken smiled politely as he handed the baby to her mother.
"Congratulations, it's a girl, Misaki-chan." Ryuuken smiled as Misaki's face lit up with happiness. "What is her name?" Misaki smiled and stroked her daughter's cheek gently.
"Her name is…Miyuuki." Misaki smiled. "My Miyuuki."
Ryuuken stifled a gasp as he heard Misaki. The baby girl opened her eyes, and her mother marveled at the beautiful sapphire that resided there.
"Miyuuki, huh." Ryuuken muttered and smiled, looking deep into those azure eyes. "That's a beautiful name."
