The war against Aizen is over. While Seireitei is celebrating, Shūhei has to pick up the pieces of Rangiku's heart, that shattered in the moment her sword sank into Gin's chest.

Black Roses
Epilogue - Us (What future can bring)

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Ten years later ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Whispers, moans and cries of pleasure echoed in the corridors of the tenth division. Sensual and primitive sounds, meant to let everybody know how much that man -her man- could please her.

In the Futon, two bodies entwined together in a tangle of limbs, sheets, blond wavy locks, hands squeezing flourishing breasts, fingers running on supple legs wrapped around nimble and slim hips, nails scratching a back with slender and strong muscles, lips exploring a sensual neck, sucking an earlobe, skimming a jaw and grazing another pair of lips, searching them, devouring them. Bodies moving one inside of the other, around the other, with the other, bodies that moaned, perspired, bodies that couldn't get enough one of the other.

In a display cabinet, the ten black roses Shūhei had given the woman. A rose every year, until a year before, on the day of Ichimaru's death, to renew his promise of being at her side anytime she'd need it.

On the table, wrapped with paper and ribbon both red with golden shimmers, twelve roses as red as blood. Because a black rose, no matter how rare and precious, couldn't account for the passion that overwhelmingly exploded between them in the previous months. Without a reason, an excuse or a special circumstance; it had always been there, it had just decided it could no longer bear to be ignored.

Between the flowers, a brief message written on valuable paper with suave and harmonious writing.


To my precious Rangiku
 Sensual as the Moon,
 flourishing like mother Earth,
 every morning, like the Sun,
 she bestows light upon my life.
  With Love,
   Shūhei

So, this is the last episode of this story. I want to thank everyone who read it to the end and I'd like to welcome reviews of any kind.

I must admit I expected some more (probably I overestimated Shūhei's popularity, but I think he should have a lot more space in the manga), but I'm still very happy for they were wonderful.
Special thanks to raxilia_running, who reviewed every chapter of the Italian version.

While I'm here, I want to thank again my two beta-readers, "rukia23":http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1487926/ and "ciuiciui":http://www.serintage.com/ufficio/viewuser.php?nick=ciuiciui, who took care respectively of the English and Italian version.
