With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
"After running up and down these alleys a million times a day because of someone wanting on thing for dinner, then changing their mind, you kind of learn how to get around,"
"Alright, alright..." He growled slightly, "I get it, I just don't think we're anywhere near the--..." "Ta-dah!"
Damn her... He attempted to put on an annoyed face but the truth was that he couldn't really be mad at her for long. Kenpachi took in her look of triumph and swept in to kiss a raw kiss from her lips, sucking on her lower petal and allowing sparks to fly through her stomach. The man then stepped back with a grin, leaving her in a dazed state. Who's triumphant now?
"I nevah doubted ya." He lied, a smile pulling on the corners of his mouth before slipping his arm around her waist again. "... really."
"A sweaty training robe and my hair in a mess is nice? Tsk, maybe if you'd give me the chance to pretty up I could show you what nice is."
He smirked, "I like the sweaty look." If that didn't fluster her, he didn't know what would. Though he did wonder what she meant by... nice.
As he directed her through the gate, he allowed her to lead the way as they reached a crossroads. "Eh... ... .....district 5, west?"
Hell if she made him actually ask, damn her to hell.
Considering that Aoide was only about 5'5 while Kenpachi was about 6'6, when he swept her off her feet for a kiss he really did sweep her off her feet. Aoide let out a surprised squeak as her feet, and entire body were lifted off the ground. Not that she complained as Kenpachi's lips found her own, he nippled on her bottom lip causing her to groan, her arms instantly wrapping around his neck. Her stomach exploded with warmth, but before she knew it he had set her back down on the ground. Aoide took a dazed few steps before furiously blinking her eyes to regain her balance and senses. As if to balance her, Kenpachi's arm wrapped around her waist again, Aoide settled her hand on his hand and smiled goofily.
Sweaty...look? Aoide looked puzzled for a moment before she understood what he meant, her cheeks flushing dark red before she smacked his shoulder, "Pervert," she chuckled before turning westward after they left the gate. She knew it would kill him to ask for directions to wherever he was going...which was actually kind of amusing in a way. "You know," she said smirking at him, "you should really lead, you know what the shop looks like. Of course if we get lost and find a dark, scary, alley where we have to stay close I won't complain," Aoide gave Kenpachi a naughty grin.
He could until smirk triumphantly at the dazed look he received for his actions, effectively wiping that smirk off her face and leaving her breathless. Plus, it had come with the benefit of tasting her lips and hearing her groan, a sound that was like music to his ears.
Besides, she seemed to enjoy it too.
"Pervert."
The tall captain simply raised an eyebrow and he was hit, slowly shaking his head. "Che... Aoide, you shouldn't be thinkin' such dirty things."
It took him a moment but after that he simply began to chuckle at his own antics as they started heading west, with Aoide leading the way. He smiled as his girlfriend pulled him along... girlfriend, that didn't sound right for someone like her. But still, she was his and his alone.
"You know, you should really lead, you know what the shop looks like. Of course if we get lost and find a dark, scary, alley where we have to stay close I won't complain."
A smile split his face, and he just cocked his head, "Hn... I wouldn't either."
He smiled as the continued down the road, his hand cradling her side and waist as they went. "So, what did ye mean by... nice anyways?"
He gave her a sidewards glance as they continued to walk, curiosity seeming to get the better of him.
"Che, yourself, everyon knows that men are larger perverts then women. Just look at the Shinigami Men Association. Well they're also kind of creepy too. I wasn't too sad when all of their funding was taken away and given to the Research Department. But it was kind of sad too, it was like those guys only manly bonding time," Aoide said still leading the two of him. She grinned, it was ironic such a small woman to be leading the Deomn around, but he was her boyfriend... Well Aoide wasn't sure what to call him, boyfriend seemed so....childish, young, and even mundane. It was different when her whole soul ached for him until they were together again and only then did she feel complete. She wasn't lying when she told him she had been waiting for him for a very long time.
"Eh? Looking nice?" Aoide said staring blankly at Kenpachi before laughing, "Okay, I'm no professional when it comes to taking someone out, bu I'll tell you what I know," she said before beginning, "Accoring to Matsumoto, First you're suppose to ask the girl out about a week ahead of time, you have to sound respectful and like you mean it. You can't be all like, 'Hey baby wanna go out, pick you up at seven.' Then the week leading up to the date you go to lunch and call one anothe making plans for the date. Quit looking so impatient, I'm getting to the looking nice part," Aoide said shooting Kenpachi an annoyed look as he fidgeted. She hardly ever got the chance to teach anyone on all the stuff Matsumoto told her and she was happy to do so, "So the night of the date, depending on how much the girl likes the guy she'll pick out what outfit she'll wear as well as undergarments. If she really likes the guy and there's a chance she'll ask him over she'll pick a sexy bra and panty set, because you don't want to be embaressed by him undressing you and you're wearing old, holey granny panties. So if you don't like the guy then you wer stuff you would be embaressed about so just in case you're not sure after the date, you can always wait until the next date to wear the sexy stuff. Now onto the outfit, a girl, depending how much she likes the guy will pick out an outfit to impress him. Then she does her hair and make up and maked herself look sexy and pretty. The the guy will show up wearing nice clothes and smelling good....or at least robes that have sleeves. Then they go out and have a wonderful time. That's what I mean by nice, training robed are not nice, I'm not even wearing any sexy under garments. Girls are very concerned over things being done right, you know? But.... breakfast is night though," she said quickly in case Kenpachi thought she didn't want to go out with him if they didn't follow what Matsumoto spoke of. She then nervously blew those few rebellious strands of hair out of her eyes, "Really, all you ever see me in is training robes and well nothing. I kind of just want you to see me looking...nice," she said a faint line of red appearing on her cheeks as she looked at him shyly.
"Che, yourself, everyon knows that men are larger perverts then women. Just look at the Shinigami Men Association. Well they're also kind of creepy too. I wasn't too sad when all of their funding was taken away and given to the Research Department. But it was kind of sad too, it was like those guys only manly bonding time.
The man grunted and scowled in return. "They're pathetic. You'll never catch me going to one of those thin's. Anyways, if they really wan' good man time they should stop by and fight. Cept, they're all too chicken to do that."
As much as he didn't really like the subject they were talking about, as smalltalk about perverts was something he wasn't really use to, he was okay with this. Besides, it felt right, just to talk with Aoide. Afterall, until last night, things had been awkward between them since their trip to the human world.
So this was incredibly relaxing.
"Accoring to Matsumoto, First you're suppose to ask the girl out about a week ahead of time, you have to sound respectful and like you mean it. You can't be all like, 'Hey baby wanna go out, pick you up at seven.' Then the week leading up to the date you go to lunch and call one anothe making plans for the date..."
He almost snorted, almost. Leave it to Matsumoto to give Aoide every single idea about romance, right? Well, it's not like she had any other girls to ask. But still, being sweet? Asking a week ahead of time? He could never do that.
"Quit looking so impatient, I'm getting to the looking nice part."
He frowned, was it that obvious?
"So the night of the date, depending on how much the girl likes the guy she'll pick out what outfit she'll wear as well as undergarments. If she really likes the guy and there's a chance she'll ask him over she'll pick a sexy bra and panty set, because you don't want to be embaressed by him undressing you and you're wearing old, holey granny panties."
Okay, so this was a little too much information. He resisted the urge to plug his ears. Besides, since when did Matsumoto wear a bra anyways? Something told him they did supply F cups in Soul Society. But, this type of talk seemed to interest Aoide, so he decided no to interrupt her.
"Girls are very concerned over things being done right, you know? But.... breakfast is alright though,"
He smiled at her concerned expression that told him that she didn't want him to think that he was doing anything wrong. It was.... sweet of her. lifting up a hand almost automatically, he brushed back the hairs again and tucked in behind her ear.
"Really, all you ever see me in is training robes and well nothing. I kind of just want you to see me looking...nice."
"... Ya look fine ta me." He said, his voice softer then usual. As if he needed to confirm his words, Kenpachi cupped chin with his free hand and bent down to capture her lips in a sweet, simple kiss.
"Che, cause you've never seen me otherwise," Aoide grinned as Kenpachi reached down for another kiss, her arms wrapping around his neck and she stood on her tippy toes so he wouldn't have to bend over so far. He was being rather, affectionate today, he kept kissing her two things would probably happen, some shop keeper's head would explode, or she'd have to drag him back to the Soul Society to her room.
"You're affectionate today," she murmured quietly when his lips parted from her own, her cheeks flushing again, as her thumb traced down the scar on his cheek. She then pulled away looking slightly concerned, they had been walking for a while..."Are we almost there?" she asked.
"Becaus' I'm happy." He smiled as her hand traced over his scar, his own hand lifting up to cup hers. Bypassers would stop and stare at the odd couple, but that didn't really matter to him. "You?"
"Are we almost there?"
"Shit." He said, looking around them for a sign. "I thought ye were leading."
Well, they hadn't passed it, thankfully, and had somehow managed to end up kissing in the middle of the district. Not that either of them seemed to notice.
"Oi! Zaraki!" A familiar voice called out. "The fuck? Who's yer lady friend?"
"Jez' shut up and give up a table." He growled back.
The man smiled at his somewhat of a regular. The only reason that was a fact was because Yachiru loved it here. However, she was still with the Woman's Association and couldn't join them today.
As they were led to the table, Kenpachi was feeling... well nice and pulled out a chair for Aoide before taking a seat himself.
It was a bit shabby, sort of like a diner with lack of furnishings. But there was no doubting it, the place was popular. It was known for it's breakfasts.
"Ya don't come out of Soul Society often, eh?' Kenpachi asked before picking up a menu.
"Psh and here I thought when you were happy it was because you were going to have a really good fight," Aoide said rolling her eyes and pushing Kenpachi's face away with her hand. Clearly she was a little embaressed at the attention he gave her. She looked up at the small shop, shabby but somewhat homely. She grinned at the owner of the shop when he gave Kenpachi crap for having her with him. This was more like it, the casual attitude of the shop was more to her liking then the more formal Soul Society.
Aoide stared at the chair that Kenpachi had pulled out for her, then at Kenpachi and then at the chair. She then took a see and scooted closer to the table. "No not really, Captain Baba-chan has me running a lot of errands, and the Yuu family that's not in the Soul Society mostly lives in District One," she said sighing, "Not without the lack of trying, but most of the partol that go out into the Districts are unranked officers, because supposively we're more needed in the Soul Society."
"Psh and here I thought when you were happy it was because you were going to have a really good fight."
He grunted and rolled his head. "I haven't had to fight for real since that Espada... Now that, was a good fight."
He took a seat and looked over at Aoide, with an eyebrow raised. "Ya should get out more. See Rukongai's district. There's more to it than people in Soul Society think."
He scowled and looked away, the proper and prideful were so negligent, only caring about those within Soul Society, while those on the outside starved on a daily basis. It was ridiculous, how much contempt was held for Soul Reapers because of this.
Well, that was just a piece of his past.
"So, french toast. Ne?" He called out, without really letting her know what hell it was. He simply ordered two with some grape juice to go with it. "Western food is somethin' nobody really is used to in Soul Society, but it's good stuff. Hell, even Japan in the real world has adapted to some western foods, and I hear they hate foreigners."
"Psh, so what did you call our fight? Foreplay?" Aoide asked pouting a little, okay it probably wasn't a difficult fight for Kenpachi, but still she had tried really hard! Granted, she wasn't that powerful yet, maybe if she became a Vice Captain, or learned Bankai she would be more of a challenge for Kenpachi. She had been trying to become a strong as him before they had met offical, she wasn't going to change her goals now.
"French toast?" Aoide asked blinking her large eyes slowly, "...No frogs right?" she asked remembering the only thing she had read about the French was that they liked frog legs, how odd. "I'd like to explore the districts more," she added waggling her eyebrows, it was true it was a whole other world out here, she could get use to exploring it. "...you came from the districts right?" she then asked.
