Author's Note: To all of my readers and reviewers, I'm sorry it took me so long in getting this chapter posted. Ken-chan is a hard man to write as is Byakuya. I am not sure how he would really act with a crying woman or that he would hold a crying woman, so if he seems out of character, I am basing his reaction to what I would assume that his reaction would be. Thank you for reading this chapter. The next one will be coming within two or three months as I am working on that chapter right now.

Chapter Twelve.

Earlier that day, Rukia, Byakuya talked with Tamika till she made the comment about taking a bath and seeing about if Kenpachi wanted to spar with her. Rukia and Byakuya left her home so she could get ready to spar with Kenpachi.
Tamika was sitting in front of her dresser trying to brush out her hair of the tangles when a hand took the brush from her hand and started to brush it out. Tamika turned her head and looked to see a captain�s cloak and the familiar sash of the Kuchiki family. �Byakuya?�
�Hush. Let me finish brushing out your hair, Nara-san.� Byakuya whispered, as he took a section of her long hair and started to brush it out.
Tamika leaned into the gentle brushing of her hair. She loved it when someone would brush her hair for her. She smiled as she felt the brush go over her hair again and again till all the tangles were gone. She glanced at Byakuya and smiled only did she notice the flash of black and black flash out of sight of her mirror. By how Byakuya looked, he too, had seen who it was. �Was it Renji?�
�No, but this will get back to him.� Byakuya stated.
�He probably won�t even consider me a friend and not get worried or concerned about you an unmated being within a room of an unmated woman.� Tamika replied.
Byakuya nodded silently before he reached for her hair tie to place it in her hair when a voice came from the door. He turned to see his sister Rukia standing there, did he really notice how scandelous he and Tamika looked. She was only wearing her robe and he fully in his captain�s uniform.
�Nii-sama!� Rukia cried out, in shock.
Byakuya turned fully to look at her. �Rukia-san, I was only helping her with her hair. Nothing wrong with that is there?�
�No, but servants will talk,� Rukia reminded her older brother. �Besides, they will think you, the Ice Prince of Soul Society finally got his icy heart broken by her.�
Byakuya smiled before he started to softly chuckle. �Ice Prince? They call me that?�
�Yes, and one of them came from the real world � banana butt.� Rukia stated.
�Who called me that name and why?� Byakuya asked.
�Ichigo said that. I think he said it was a joke name for you, but seriously I can see why he would call you that. You are straight like a banana and at times you can be a butt head about the rules.� Rukia replied.
Byakuya just shook his head softly before he placed the brush down on the dresser and bowed to Tamika before leaving her room stating something about going back to his division and get some papers done.
Tamika waited till he was gone completely before she gave Rukia a soft glare. �I better get dressed so I can meet up with Zaraki.�
�I�ll walk with you to the 11th division, I think we need to talk about someone,� Rukia stated, looking at her.
�Renji, right?� Tamika asked.
Rukia shook her head. �No, someone who had just left the room.�
Tamika smiled as she lowered her head.
Rukia placed her hand on her shoulder. �It is okay. I am pleased that my brother found someone to be interested in since his wife passed on.�
Tamika looked at Ruka before she went behind the dressing screen. �We�re only friends, Rukia.�
�Friends for the moment, but I think there is more than you are saying to me, Tamika. I think you like him too,�
Tamika�s head emerged from the dressing screen. �I like Byakuya but we could never be husband and wife,�
�Why not? You are from a noble family, and I�m sure that our family would welcome you into our family as his wife.� Rukia stated. �I think you are worthy of being his wife.�
�I am not from a high ranking noble family, Rukia, I�m just like J�shir�, but for him, he has siblings, me I am the only one of my lower class family.� Tamika said, as they walked down the street towards the 12 division station.
�But you do have feelings for him, do you not?� asked Rukia.
Tamika stopped in her tracks as she looked at her. She looked at her. �For Renji, I . . . do not . . . know. I know I feel something for him but what I am not sure.�
�Not him! My brother!� Rukia stated.
�Oh, I�m not sure, Rukia. I like him,� Tamika replied, blushing as she misinterepted her question.
�So you do have something for him!� Rukia said, smiling. �I don�t mind if you have feelings for him. He needs someone to love and I am sure that you would make a wonderful wife for him, since my sister . . .�
�Oh I could never steal another woman�s husband!� Tamika stated, as she looked at Rukia, shocked that the girl had suggested that.
�My sister, his wife is dead. It has been years since my brother fell in love with anyone.� Rukia replied.
Tamika blushed before she turned her head away from Rukia and started to walk down the street.
�I�m sorry if I seemed abrupt but I figured that you felt something for my brother,� Rukia said after she caught up with her.
�I like him but he should really stay single as there may be a better woman out there that would really be good for him,� Tamika stated, as they neared the home of the 11th division.
�But what if it is you who is the right one for him, Tamika?� Rukia said.
Tamika was about to open her mouth when the little, pink haired vice captain jumped from her location on top of the roof of the 11th division�s building right into Tamika�s arms. �Hello Yachiru. I see that you are still trying to catch me by surprise.�
�Well, I can try, can�t I, Tamika?� Yachiru asked, smiling up at her as she placed her down on the ground.
�Yes, but where is Kenpachi? Is he waiting for me in the training room like always?� Tamika asked.
�No, Ken-chan is waiting for you in the courtyard,� Yachiru smiled as she hurried off yelling that Tamika was here.
"Uh oh, isn't the courtyard where Zaraki actually goes to think?" Rukia asked.
�Yes, but why would he there unless there is something going on in Soul Society that got him thinking which bodes ill for whoever it may be,� Tamika stated, as they headed for the courtyard to see the giant captain sitting with tea in his hand. �Greeting Zaraki,�
"Ah! Tamika, just the one I wanted to see, I hear rumors of you and the dog Renji secretly being an item, is what the weaklings in 4th devision say is true?"
Tamika smiled and shook her head. �Sorry, that information is sorely out dated. That dog and I are no item. I am now alone.�
Zaraki grinned. "I always figured Renji fancied Kuchiki. Especially how he always seeks to be his equal,"
�Renji loves my brother! Nah, wants to beat him but loves him, nah.� Rukia stated.
�Renji can do whatever he wants, I care not.� Tamika stated.
Zaraki looked at Tamika. �He hurt your feelings, did he not?�
�And what if he did, Zaraki. You don�t care about feelings,� Tamika snapped.
"They are a part of pride, hurt pride will only fester till retribution is served."
Tamika said nothing as she picked up the cup of tea and took a sip from it.
"He hurt your pride, and thus issued the challenge, your pride to mend itself demands Renji's complete defeat."
�And who would win my pride back for me, Zaraki?� Tamika snapped.
"It's your own battle, no one else can fight it."
Tamika sat there looking at him as the words drift into her head. It was true, she would have to fight him to regain her pride. But he was a powerful vice captain who could do a Bankai and yet her�s was so weak it would fall to Renji�s. �I do not know if I could defeat him, his Bankai is more powerful than mine.�
"I'm sure there are other ways." was all Zaraki said.
�Other ways?� Rukia asked.
Zaraki sipped his tea not giving a reply, Yamachika was more knowledgeable in the other ways then he was.
�Be that way!� Rukia snapped. She turned from Zaraki to Tamika �We�ll figure it out, Tamika.�
�I don�t know. Maybe I should write him a letter telling him that I thought it was sexy to have him tattooed and that we need to talk?� Tamika said.
Rukia looked weird. �Have him tattooed? What do you mean by that Tamika?�
�Didn�t you know? Renji had his penis tattooed.� Tamika said, and then immediately regretted it as she slapped her hand to her mouth.
"You saw that!" Rukia exclaimed.
�Yes, just right before we were about to make out and I made a comment out loud about winning the bet between me and the vice captain of the tenth division that Renji tattooed his penis.� Tamika stated, still blushing about what happened.
"And how'd he react?"
�At first he was okay with it but then he got angry and stormed out of the room. He thinks that all I wanted was to see him naked to see if he did tattoo his penis but I really wanted him, Rukia.� Tamika replied.
"So the break up wasn't completely his fault, things you've said have also made him uncomfortable."
�Maybe I should apologize for what I said to him?� Tamika asked.
Zaraki smiled as he sipped his tea. He just loved listening to them talk and not a say a word. �That would be a start.�
Both Rukia and Tamika jumped out of their skin before they looked at him before giggling like girls, blushing hard. Tamika looked at Rukia. �He was so silent, I forgot that we were in his presence,�
Yachiru smiled too from her seat in Zaraki�s lap. �You forgot about me!�
The two girls blushed in embarassment, usually Yachiru wasn't this quiet. Tamika looked over at Yachiru seated perfectly in Zaraki�s lap with a cup in her hand. She lowered her head. �Young girls like yourself shouldn�t hear . . . .�
�Well, I hear far worse from the others when they get their asses whipped by Ken-chan!� Yachiru stated.
�Even when Ichigo beat him up?� Tamika asked.
�Ichy and Ken-chan were having fun!� The pink haired girl stated, smiling big.
"Fun?"
"Ichi-chan was able to let Ken-chan to fight at his best . . . Ken-chan likes Ichi-chan for that."
All Zaraki did was smile his devilish smile and said not a word. He was proud of his vice captain.
Tamika could only shake her head. �So I should start off by apologizing to him?�
�Yes, that would be a good start, Tamika. Then, let him make the next move, don�t move first.� Zaraki stated, as he reached for the pot of tea and poured more into their cups.
"Speaking from experience?"
"I find Unohana-taicho to be more then she seems. Let's leave it at that."
�Okay, we found his second weak spot, Tamika.� Rukia stated.
�What do you mean? He likes her that�s all. It�s not like he goes out of his way to get injured so she would nurse maid him.� Tamika replied.
Zaraki refrained from comment, getting injured was all part of the fun of battle, having them tended to by those wonderful hands was simply a bonus.
Rukia smiled. �The only one who would nurse maid him is Yachiru after he is put back in bed by the 4th squad.�
Yachiru stuck out her tongue at Rukia in defiance.
Rukia just laughed. �I think we better head back to your home, Tamika before my brother starts a search party for you and you can get to work on writing the letter to Renji.�
Tamika nodded as they both stood up and bowed to Zaraki before they left his division with new insight on the battle loving captain and a little information on how to get a man back.
�I think Kenpachi likes Unohana,� Tamika whispered. Rukia nodded as they walked towards Renji�s house and she knocked on the door. They both waited for several minutes to see one of the men from the 6th division standing there.
�Is Abarai-san in?� asked Tamika.
�I will check.� He closed the door and hurried away. He found Renji under his Cherry tree. �Abarai-san, there are two women out front looking for you. Shall I let them in?�
Renji turned towards him and asked, �What do they look like?�
�One is short and black haired, looks noble and the other is the rogue Shinigami Tamika.�
�Rukia and the bitch. Tell them that I am not in and take a message from Rukia.� Renji growled.
He nodded and rushed back to the door, �Sorry to keep you waiting. But he is not here, may I take a message for him when he returns.�
Tamika looked at him. �Tell him Tamika apologizes for what she said earlier in the living world. Come on, Rukia, the dog isn�t here.�
The lad returned to Renji�s side. �I have the message from Tamika. She said that she apologizes for what she said in the living world.�
Renji looked at him and then to his hands. �I doubt she really means that.�
�Sir, she looked very disappointed that you didn�t come to the door. She looked sad when I told her that you were out.� He said.
�She was probably doing that to get sympathy from you. She�s nothing more than a rich bitch,� Renji snarled off, and with that he turned his back to the lad.
~~~~~~~~~
Rukia nodded and they walked down the path heading for the Nara residence. Once, far from Renji�s residence, Rukia looked at her. �He was there. I felt his spirit pressure.�
�I know, I felt it too. It just means that he didn�t want to see either of us.� Tamika said, as she walked on with her head down and not letting Rukia see the tears that came from her eyes, so she was not watching where she was going till she heard Rukia�s voice cry out.
�Tamika, stop!�
Tamika stopped fast and looked up to see Byakuya�s white sash and captain�s cloak in front of her. She was embarressed that he saw her with tears in her eyes. She was about to wipe them aside when his hand reached up and wiped one of her streaks of tears away.
�Why the tears?� Byakuya asked, as he looked at her.
�It�s nothing, Kuchiki-sama.� Tamika stated.
Byakuya looked at his sister. Rukia spoke, �Renji rejected her again. Didn�t even come to the door when we paid him a visit.�
�And we knew he were there too!� Tamika spat out. She was not very happy being rejected by Renji again. �I went there to apologize to him and he refused to even show his face to me. I guess he really doesn�t have any feelings for me then.� Tamika walked around Byakuya and headed down the path towards her residence where she entered and left the door open.
They reached the door of her residence to see her slipping within her chambers. Rukia looked up at her brother. �How will we get them together?�
�There is nothing we can do till he makes the first move. Till then, we support her.� Byakuya stated. He walked to her chambers and knocked before entering.
Tamika was sitting in front of her mirror crying into her arms. �He never really did care for me at all.�
Byakuya stood by her door watching her cry her heart out. �Was it always like this for women who were rejected to feel this way?� he wondered. He approached her as he spoke, �He is a fool to let a fine woman like you go so easily.�
�He doesn�t care about me . . . Byakuya. No man has ever looked at me with such desire and then disgust all in a matter of a few seconds. He never really cared about me.� Tamika said, as she looked at him.
�He will regret not taking you as his woman,� Byakuya stated, as he strode towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder. He didn't expect her to turn, wrapping her arms around his waist and start to cry as she refused to let go. He looked around to see no one around before he wrapped his arms around her and comforted her. He knew his sister approached the room but he didn�t care for once. Tamika needed the comfort and he wasn�t going to let her cry alone. Too long he cried over his own broken heart of losing his wife - Hisana. He swore to himself that he would never feel that way again and here was a Shinigami who just had her own heart broken � the same feeling he felt was coming from her and that scared him. �Tamika, this matter has made you unfocused, you need to concentrate on something else to forget about the pain.�
Tamika replied, �The pain of a broken heart hurts.�
�I know, but you need to focus on your duties and let the pain go.� Byakuya whispered.
�Brother?� Rukia whispered loud enough for him to hear her.
He glanced over to see her standing there. Byakuya looked at the young Shinigami who had wrapped her arms around his waist and crying on his sash. �I�ll talk to you later, Rukia.�
Rukia nodded and backed out of the room to go sit in front of Tamika�s quarters for a while before she decided to meet her brother at home and left.
Byakuya turned his attention on Tamika and just held her till she no longer cried as she had fallen asleep in his arms. He called upon her servants to tend to her as he stepped from her quarters to gaze at the moon. �Is she asleep?�
�Yes, Kuchiki-sama.� The girl said, looking at her feet.
�Thank you. I will take my leave,� Byakuya stated, noticing that his sister was not there. He knew where she was and would be talking to her shortly.
�Let me walk you to the door, since my mistress is not able to.� The girl spoke, as she led him to the gate and watched as the 6th division Captain walked down the path towards his residence. She never knew what the tall captain was thinking as he walked away. But she was glad that there was someone there to hold her when she started to cry. She was almost ready to appear in her room when Byakuya stepped into the room. She could tell that the ice that shaped his heart had started to melt when she wrapped her arms around him. Maybe there is a chance that Tamika will find love with one of the richest and most noble men in Soul Society � Byakuya.
