"I am sorry. I thought you were enjoying yourself."
"…"
"You should have told me if you didn't enjoy skating that much."
"…"
"Right. What a stupid thing to say. I should have noticed it."
Silence greeted Ichigo back; like what it had been for the last five minutes. He was, for the lack of a better word, confused. He wasn't experienced in romance—he didn't get the chance to experience that in his last life—but he knew how to please people. He had recalled each of the moments they had passed and he couldn't figure out what displeased Yoruichi.
Heaving a weary sigh, he quickened his pace and put his hand on Yoruichi's shoulder which she quickly shrugged off. Surprised by the casual dismissal, he stood there with blinking eyes. Recovering from his surprise, he channeled Reishi into his feet and used Hirenkyaku. In an instant, he appeared before Yoruichi.
"Whatever I did and made you do that displeased you, I am sorry," Ichigo placated.
"You don't understand," Yoruichi mumbled before shoving Ichigo out of the way. "Move out of the way, boy. I am not in the mood."
Slightly frustrated that someone whom he was close with casually dismissed him like that, Ichigo sharpened his gaze. He used Hirenkyaku and pinned Yoruichi to the nearby wall. Shocked by what happened, Yoruichi looked up and met Ichigo's sharp gaze. Given their position and the intensity of the mood, blood rushed up to her face.
"I hate it when everyone hates what I do but doesn't tell me what I do wrong."
"W- Well…"
"We have seen each other naked. There is nothing we should hide from each other, Yoruichi. Tell me what bothers you even if it hurts me."
Yoruichi wondered if Ichigo was trying to embarrass her—it was working—but she couldn't see a hint of mirth on his face. Deciding that he was being serious, although still blushing, she told him what bothered her.
"It was that girl," she mumbled.
"What?" Ichigo frowned lightly.
"It is our date, damn it! Why are you looking at another girl!?"
Yoruichi's blush was amplified ten times as soon as she realized her outburst. Ashamed that she couldn't reign her jealousy despite her century-long experience, she couldn't look Ichigo in the eye. Smiling bitterly, she waited for his teasing laugh, but it never came. Curious, she looked up and found him frowning contemplatively.
"You are right. I am sorry," he said as he threw away the number that the girl at the skating field had given him. "I should have been more tactful. No matter how experienced you are, it is a date, after all."
She wasn't more experienced in romance than Ichigo, but she didn't say that. She nodded appreciatively, acting as if she was proud of his enlightenment.
"Then, how do I make up with you?"
"Eh…?"
At Ichigo's serious question, Yoruichi blinked her eyes. Her blush returned in full force as she realized Ichigo's face was a few centimeters away from her face.
"L- Let's have a spar."
"Ah, so you want to beat me up."
Ichigo let a small smile graze his lips. He retracted his hand, freeing Yoruichi from his pinning. Yoruichi took a deep breath and schooled her features. Once she regained her composure, she challenged Ichigo to a race. He reminded her that she was in a Gigai, so she had to be careful not to destroy it.
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
"Then, what is the bet?" Ichigo asked with a faint smirk.
"If I win, you should let me grab your butt," Yoruichi replied with a cheeky grin.
"You have done that a lot of times during our spar, but I will accept. Then, if I win, I will grab your butt, which I have never done before."
"Deal!"
Yoruichi took off without a warning. Ichigo briefly mused how cunning the Shihōin princess was before kicking the ground with Hirenkyaku. After some time, Ichigo caught up with Yoruichi who was equally impressed and surprised. She increased her speed, pushing to her Gigai's limit. Leaving Ichigo behind, she quickly lost sight of him.
She arrived at the Urahara Shop with a triumphant smile. Quickly looking around, her smile faltered when she found Ichigo leaning on a nearby tree.
"Wha—how?"
"It seems to me like you are begging to be grabbed, Yoruichi," Ichigo said calmly as he walked to Yoruichi. "You know how fast I am in my spirit form. Even though we are both in a physical body, you should know how superior my body is compared to your Gigai and how well I can utilize Hirenkyaku."
As he stopped beside her, Ichigo spanked her butt, earning a sensual yelp from her. The door to the shop slid open and a stoic Tessai glared at the pair sternly.
"Please, be mindful around the children."
"What happened, Ossan?"
"Is it a Hollow, Tessai-san?"
Noting Jinta and Ururu who were peeking from behind Tessai, Ichigo duly apologized. He told Tessai that he had just scared Yoruichi and it was just an innocent prank. Tessai didn't show any indication that he believed the lie but accepted it nonetheless. He ushered the kids inside, prompting Ichigo and Yoruichi to enter the store.
"Welcome back, Yoruichi-san, Ichigo-kun. I thought you would end the date later," Kisuke greeted with a hint of mirth.
"Yoruichi thinks it's a good time to beat me up, so here we are," Ichigo replied.
"Oh, good luck, then. Please, keep it moderate."
"I will compensate you if we break something."
"Good to hear that."
As Ichigo walked past him, Kisuke sent a smirk at Yoruichi which was returned with a harsh glare. Being the wise man he was, Kisuke immediately backpedaled. Ichigo and Yoruichi arrived at the Study Chamber under the store. Swallowing a Gikongan, Ichigo knocked his soul out of his body. Yoruichi easily got out of her Gigai, revealing her in her orange battle uniform.
When Nova took control of Ichigo's physical body, his spiritual hands were wrapped by crackling yellow light. Yoruichi immediately utilized Shunpō and moved out of the way, but she was not quick enough to completely avoid the Kidō. As a result, her foot got caught. Pushing her Reiryoku into her feet, she wrestled the Kidō worming its way up to her body to no avail.
"Bakudō #61: Rikujōkōrō!"
To her dismay, the rope catching her foot morphed into six yellow ethereal ribbons that quickly wrapped around her body, immobilizing her. She glared as Ichigo came closer, irritated that he began the fight without giving a warning.
"That was cheating, Ichigo," she clicked her tongue.
"I could say the same thing to you given what you did earlier," he retorted. "Besides, in battles, your enemy wouldn't wait for you to get ready, would they?"
"Keuk. That's correct."
Stopping before the immobilized Yoruichi, Ichigo crossed his arms. "So, are we good now?"
With a sigh, Yoruichi nodded defeatedly. "Yeah."
Ichigo smiled slightly and waved his hand to cancel his Kidō. As soon as Yoruichi was freed of his Kidō, however, he saw her smile. Using Sonido to quickly make a distance, he was rewarded with a tackle to the ground. He wasn't fast enough to outrun the Flash Goddess at a critical moment.
"Don't believe everything your enemy says!" Yoruichi grinned triumphantly as she looked down at him.
"Well, someone has learned her lesson," Ichigo remarked in amusement. "Now, let's end this."
"I haven't had my fun, Ichigo," Yoruichi purred.
Ichigo grimaced inwardly as Yoruichi ground her groin against his. He looked unbothered by the gesture, but his body was honest. It was quite hard to suppress a certain reaction when he received active, direct stimulation. He hoped Yoruichi wouldn't notice given how stoic he looked. Alas, it was impossible for her not to notice the bulge.
"Hoh? Someone is excited."
She sounded unbothered, but her red face said otherwise. Ichigo found the situation humorous. They had teased each other every time, but it had never been this far. Just as she could feel his stiff member, he could also feel her sinful valley massaging his stiff member. He idly noted that he should tell her to wear thicker pants next time.
"Apparently, I am not alone."
After saying that, Ichigo put his hands on her hip and pinned her against him, eliciting a moan from her as his bulging pants ground against her covered nether region. When she realized what she had just done, she glared at Ichigo with a red face. Ichigo allowed a smirk to creep up his face before knocking her down and pinning her to the ground.
"You shouldn't tease a man like that, Yoruichi," he whispered before nipping her neck. "He may get out of control."
He kissed her neck, throat, and chin, before eventually kissing her lips, stunning her silent. The kiss was innocent compared to what they had been doing, but it took the strength out of her. She melted into his warmth, allowing him to do what he wanted. They remained that way for a couple of minutes before parting.
Standing up, Ichigo lent a hand to help her. Yoruichi looked at the offered hand briefly before jumping at him and burying her face in his chest.
"Did you enjoy the date?"
"I did."
"Do you want to do it again next time?"
"Hm."
"Glad to hear it."
They remained that way for some time, pushing their body so closely they might melt together. Yoruichi wanted to do more but held herself. Her pants were drenched but Ichigo's were no longer bulging. It was enough. She didn't want mere carnal pleasure to ruin their relationship.
