Vacanze wrapped his arms around Yuzu lifting her off her feet as he hugged her tightly. "I've missed you too," he kissed her cheek. "Sorry I've been gone so long. As you know things have been crazy."
He set her gently back on her feet but held her close. "Every time there was a glitch in reality I was zapped back to Las Noches."
"Well, you don't belong there," she huffed. She twisted her head up to look at him, still staying in his arms. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Vacanze chuckled shaking his head, "no not at all." He looked down at the bags in her hands. "Need some help with those?"

Yuzu shook her head. “Not yet, maybe in a few minutes,” she murmured, turning her head down and breathing in to keep any tears at bay. She'd told herself again and again that she wouldn't cry in front of him this soon, but that wasn't as easy as planned when he didn't smell of cinnamon as much anymore. She didn't want him to blame himself either. "I need to go back now anyway. There's not enough eggs for pancakes for the family and a cake."
Did she have enough chocolate? She didn't know for sure, either.
She didn't care right now.

Vacanze looked down at, his, girl in front of him, he pushed her back slightly, hooked his index finger under her chin, and lifted her head to look at him. "What's wrong, babe?" He looked deep into her eyes seeing confusion and pain.
"Hey, talk to me." he urged her.
"But it's not your fault, Vacanze."
"That's okay. Now what is it?" he prompted.
"You're too good at reading me now," she pouted. She looked away. "It's like you've never been gone now. It's stupid to cry about it."
He smiled warmly at her tucking a lock of hair behind her ear then pulled her into a tight hug. "I'm here and not going anywhere if I have my way about it." He kissed her forehead tenderly.

“Good,” she murmured. “Getting out of there didn’t seem real without you.” She closed her eyes, swallowing the rest of her words, letting her mind drift with the cold rain that was too soothing on her nerves now that she was back in her sunset’s arms. Her arms started to ache from the weight on them and she ignored them, standing on tippy toe, Vacanze meeting her halfway in a kiss.
"Welcome back, my knight."
Vacanze returned her kiss and in the exchange, he took the bags she held. "So are we returning to the store for more shopping, or are we going home?"
"Depends!" Yuzu called back, taking one of his hands. "Do you want a cake tonight when you have to share it or wait for tomorrow?"

Vacanze smirked pulling Yuzu closer. "Hmm, what do I want?" He got a thoughtful look on his face averting his eyes slightly upward. He looked back at Yuzu, his smirk still in place. "What I want is to spend time with my girl. Cake is only a bonus at this point. So if I have to pick between the two," he hummed softly. "I want cake!"
He chuckled as Yuzu playfully growled and slapped his arm.
"Aggg. You...."
Vacanze continued chuckling pulling Yuzu back into his arms and kissing her forehead. "We can do the cake tomorrow. Let's get you home and out of these wet clothes." He gave her lips a soft peck.

Yuzu hummed in response, cheeks warm from her reaction to that smirk. “Okay but don’t go too fast. I’m not that wet. And when we get home, it’s a full house. The only one who gets any quiet is Evita and only because she’s just good at finding hiding places or maybe it’s her powers. I’m definitely not as good at her at sneaking.”"Well you're lucky then," Vacanze offered his arm as Yuzu linked her arm with his. "I'm an expert at finding hiding places." He started their path forward headed home.Yuzu smiled at him. "I'll take you up on your luck then for both of us."Vacanze gave her a soft smile and leaned over kissing the top of her head as they walked. "Let's get home and spend a little time with everyone then we can disappear."She wouldn't say no to that, not when that was her greatest wish right now too. She squeezed his hand and let him lead the way, considering what flavor to make his next cake and if she wanted his help or to surprise him.

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 468 "Where is Aizen Part III: Luring Out Traitors - Ulquiorra vs. Vacanze": Ulquiorra reappeared in the sky above Karakura Town. The reiatsu and Grimmjow clashed with the substitute at the clinic at the same time as Nnoitra’s rose to meet Ichimaru’s, the violence at either location all but dominating any other signatures in the area. Ulquiorra set his hands into his pockets, waiting, listening.
He couldn’t sense Starrk at all. Perhaps he found a calm place to nap until their plan heated up. Whisper’s energy, too, had faded. The Fourth knew that wouldn’t last for long. She would reappear soon. There were too many people in the shop, and they would draw them out.
Until then, Ulquiorra’s prey lay in a different direction. His eyes narrowed as the fiery sister’s energy joined the storm at the shop. Not her. Down below, another energy peaked in distress. “There you are.”
She had the weakest signature. But she would draw his former comrade out.
Eyes locked on the small figure below, he fired a cero above her head.

Yuzu clutched at her necklace as energies converged on two different sides of town, hoping everyone would be alright, only to flinch when another energy, her twin’s, erupted, too. She couldn’t let someone hurt her again.
She started forward, pulling her necklace out, then halted, sensing something closer. Her neck pricked in painful goosebumps just as something streamed towards her.
She ducked just as glass shattered overhead, an espada standing in the broken reflection.
She created her bow. “What do you want?!” she shouted, readying her energy.
She couldn’t defeat him like this, but maybe she could stall him long enough for others to get away and gather enough of her own to use Hirenkyaku to get away.

"There is no need to discuss that with you, woman,” the espada murmured. “You do not have the training to stop me.”
Although it truly was a waste of time to speak to her, Ulquiorra chose to respond, delaying their interaction for the goal in mind. He had no interest in her. Her energy was strange, like Inoue’s had been, but possessed even less power than her.
“Even if you have a Quincy heritage, I would be able to avoid your arrows.”
“There are other ways of defense,” she retorted, bow moving closer to her side.
“Foolish. Like all other Kurosakis but so be it.”
He disappeared and reappeared closer, one hand lifting and filling with energy, pale eyes narrowed.
What possible worth could she contain?

Yuzu gathered the energy to her and took a jump backwards, wrapping her arms around herself as the energy flared out afterwards, sending her sprawling. She rolled, protecting her head, as the others had taught her in their brief practices, and reached into the bag at her side, grasping the first two vials.
One smelled of cinnamon apple. It reminded her of her boyfriend and gave her a boost of courage for the second one. Tiger lily. His power.
“Too slow,” the voice stated from the opposite side than she expected. Her hands went up again, flinging the first perfume.
“I’m not your pawn, Espada!”

Ulquiorra stepped back, raising his hand as some of the liquid doused his hand, flickering with different colors. A faint scent came from it. His eyes lifted to the small woman standing there, the bow shimmering between them. “Pathetic,” he denounced, stepping forward.
Time to get this over with.
He halted as a red haze overtook him, a tepid wave of heat following the first sensation. Flame power from her? As it failed, he looked to her position, only to realize she had moved. He could still see her figure in the distance?
Since when could she move that quickly? His eyes narrowed. Had she fooled him? He leapt forward, intent on his quarry.

Ahead, Yuzu leaned forward, giving herself a break. Her skinned knees stung, but that dull pain wasn’t the reason she stopped. Of all the Shopkeeper’s potions, the speed boost was still the hardest for her to get used to. She could jump with her Quincy powers but she still felt like herself. The acceleration from Kisuke’s perfume elevated that power higher still. She could control the speed but only just. It made her head spin, becoming this athletic.
She smiled a bit, berating herself. “I just got away from an espada and I’m complaining about running too fast? I’m such a tadpole…” She clenched her hands. “But I can’t be.”

Ulquiorra easily sonido’d into the woman’s space again, his golden eyes focused. “Your daydreams end here, woman,” he uttered.
She leapt again, but this time, prepared, he followed in her wake. His hand lifted, waiting for her retaliation, but when it didn’t come, his patience dropped. He backhanded her into a nearby bush where she toppled with a little scream.
“Is that all you can do after all?”
She looked up, a cut opening on her cheek, glaring silently.
“As weak as you are, you should submit,” the espada declared, reaching for the bracelet inside his pocket. “As you did before.”
Something wet fell on him again. “I won’t. Now go back to where you came!” Yuzu hissed.
Ulquiorra raised his left hand before stopping, golden eyes brilliant. “How dare you…” He sent a bala out, flinging her across the ground.
“I don’t know what powers you possess, but you will not give orders, woman.”

Vacanze was cloaked when he surged forward, his aura dark and menacing from being enraged at the Espada for hurting Yuzu. He lunged quickly, fist drawn back, and slammed his fist into Ulquiorra's chest. The Espada flew back into a nearby house. Vacanze glared at the Espada. “And you, Ulquiorra, will die for hurting her.”
Ulquiorra pushed off and out of the wall, and stepped forward, his expression as cold as ever. “You think you can stop me?”
“I don’t think,” Vacanze said, his voice a low growl. “I know.”
Without warning, Vacanze’s reiatsu flared, the ground beneath them cracking. He moved with blinding speed, appearing behind Ulquiorra and delivering a powerful kick that sent the Espada flying into the air. “You underestimate the strength of those you deem weak,” Vacanze continued, his eyes burning with fury. “And that will be your downfall.”
Ulquiorra landed gracefully, brushing himself off. “Interesting. Let’s see if your bravado matches your strength.”
The two clashed, their powers shaking the very air around them. Vacanze’s determination fueled his every move, his thoughts anchored on protecting Yuzu.
As the battle raged on, Yuzu watched, clutching her injured side. “Vacanze…” she whispered, her heart pounding with fear and hope.
Vacanze glanced back at her, giving a small nod. “Stay back, Yuzu. This will be over soon”

Ulquiorra’s pale eyes narrowed at the moment between the two. “Enough, Tozase.” Ulquiorra’s powers erupted, taking out the building he’d fallen into. He emerged in his first Resureccion, wings shadowing the couple as Vacanze shielded the mortal woman. “Your relationship makes no sense and I will prove it has made you weak, just as your association with the vessel did. Aizen-sama tried to set you free. You chose to fall. This,” he declared, pointing his lance at him, “will be your doom.”
He took a step forward, his annoyance growing as the Kurosaki woman grabbed his former comrade’s arm, shaking at his power. What a waste.
“She’s a Quincy. You’re a Hollow. Your purpose is to eat her. Hers is to destroy you. You are on the way to your destruction, but if that is your choice, face it. Face me.”
