Shunsui has to clear up a few of Nanao's misconceptions after Lisa returns to the Seireitei.

Based on 250 Dark Stars. Oneshot. It takes exactly one boy to shake Yukimura Sayoko's world up, and it's not her brother. Niou/OC

It wasn't the first time he had taken a fancy to a stray, she mused, remembering her own origins. Shunsui/Nanao.

Being thankful to Ichigo Kurosaki was not something he was comfortable with. But how could he deny graditude with her beneath him?

Nnoitra/Nel. The line of her body was a taunt, the crest of her hair sickening. He hated her.

He asked her to wait for him; that he would return with the spring. He told her to keep a close eye on Seireitei, and an even closer one on the sky. Shunsui/Nanao

In the silence, she swears she can hear him whistling; lips sweetly caressing a tune. Shunsui/Nanao.
