*****Captain's Meeting****
"Where is the investigation into the Hayate Clan standing, Captain Fon?" Captain Kyoraku asks.
"There are many, many charges that can be brought against Lady Hayate. The largest of which is conspiracy to murder. I am certain the charges will stand, and the boys can be charges for murder on six counts."
"Six counts!?" Captain Hitsugaya yells.
"Yes. Not only did they succeed in killing Captain Zaraki's wife but three maids who tried to speak as witnesses to the raid and two minor nobility men several years ago who tried to raise an outcry against Lady Hayate for her treatment of Captain Kuchiki's current wife."
"The poisons they create, I would like access to them so that I may find and begin producing antidotes to all of them." Captain Kurotsuchi demands.
"I will grant that request." Captain Kyoraku sighs.
"What about the damn clan doctor or whatever the fuck he is?" Zaraki growls.
"What about him?" Captain Fon asks, turning to the man.
"Nanami came to see me yesterday, bein' all moody and shit. Orihime healed her shoulder after she drank some sake with me and calmed down. She told me some fucked up things that doctor did to her. I don't believe in abusin' kids. That man needs to suffer."
"She told you?" I ask quietly.
"Yeah, once she started drinkin'. Your wife isn't a talker, you know. And weak but I like her. She's sweet to my kids." he shrugs.
"What did she say, exactly? Captain Kuchiki, you didn't tell me there was a problem-" Captain Fon snaps.
"She does not wish it to be known. My wife is ashamed of what happened."
"You don't mean...?" Captain Kotetsu stops short of asking.
"I will not speak on this further. My wife is healing. Her father is staying in the manor, which seems to comfort her."
"That's good. I'd like to borrow her for a day or so, if you don't mind, Captain Kuchiki. Akane is planning something and she seemed to bond with your wife a bit and asked me to ask you." Captain Kyoraku says.
"I will ask her. I think it would be a good thing. I am not sure if you are aware but Akane is the daughter of Nanami's aunt so they are technically cousins."
"I had an inkling. Akane has a birthmark similar to what is mentioned in the report so I knew she was related somehow. Anyhow, Soi Fon, make preparations for the arrest of Lady Hayate. You have the green light to go when you're ready."
"Yes, Head Captain."
"Everyone is dismissed."
I turn to leave and Zaraki stops me just outside the door. "I need to talk to you." he says.
"I do not see any reason you-"
"Shut up and listen. Nanami told me he molested her. Here's the kicker and what I'm tellin' you. I offered to kill the bastard and she said yes. So I'm lettin' you know I plan to kill him."
"Why do you wish to do that? She is not your concern, Captain Zaraki."
"She needs lookin' after. I've taken a likin' to her as a friend. She's too damn weak, Kuchiki. And too unsure of the world. She reminds me of Michiko."
This startles me. Michiko was Zaraki's first daughter, tragically killed in front of both him and his wife during a raid by Hollows. This had lead to his wife going berserk and rampaging across the city. I had to kill her...well I thought I had anyway. It turned out that the woman wasn't able to die. Three days later she had returned from the dead. However, she did die for real last year, giving her life as a sacrifice to save that of Zaraki and Akane. Zaraki has been rather mellow since.
"I would say she is more like Takeshi." I offer gently.
"Maybe." he stares out over the city, lost in thought.
"If you feel the need to take that man's life, I will not stop you. I wish him to suffer as much as she has. Make him beg for mercy, if you will. For her sake."
"You got it. I'll make him wish he never laid eyes on her."
"Thank you."
"I also think you should know she wasn't gunna come home last night. She was pretty hurt."
"Yes, she told me."
"Don't force her to have a kid for you or I'll pummel you. She doesn't need that." he growls.
"Relax. I have told her I do not want her to bear me any children until she is ready, Zaraki...however, please do not give her any more sake. I think she may already be pregnant but I am not certain. The test she took wasn't clear."
"You better pray it's not. She deserves freedom for awhile, Byakuya."
"Indeed. However, if it is...I will make sure she's taken care of and safe. That is my biggest worry right now. I am afraid she will become a target for revenge by her previous clan."
"I'll do what I can to keep her safe."
"I trust you."
He smirks a little. "We must be gettin' old."
"Perhaps. I still hate you."
"Tch. I ain't got the energy to hate you, you noble bastard."
****Nanami POV****
"Hey, what's wrong?" Renji asks as he enters the office. "You didn't come to training this morning."
"I'm not in the mood, I'm afraid. I believe I drank too much with Captain Zaraki last night and I feel rather ill." I mumble, setting another report to the side for Lord Kuchiki to check.
"Oh, I see. That doesn't excuse you from training, Nanami. I'll let it slide this once but don't make it a habit." he says gently.
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant."
"What's wrong?"
"I already-"
"I'm not as dumb as I look. You're more quiet and withdrawn than normal, even for a hangover."
"I'm just sad. I miss how things were in a sense. At least I had a sense of family."
"Yeah, it's a bit strange living with the Kuchiki family. Don't give up on us yet, ok?"
"They want me to squirt out a baby as soon as possible. I'm not ready for that. Captain Kuchiki is the only one that doesn't mind waiting, it seems." I sigh.
"Uh...wow. That's a bit...weird." he says. I notice he's blushing a little. "I mean, I can see why. It's been a long time since the Kuchiki clan has had an heir by blood. But don't rush it. You need to get settled in and things before you have a-"
"I...Renji, Doc tested me yesterday. The test wasn't clear whether it was positive or negative."
He whistles. "Damn. You need a rabbit's foot or something You have nothing but bad luck."
"I don't know what to do." I sigh before laying my head on the desk. "I'm not even a seated officer. It's going to make him look terrible, even though we're married. My life is a mess. I'd be better off disappearing to the world of the living and living in a convent."
He laughs loudly. "Oh man! You'd make the perfect nun. You don't even spill the beans about your sex life with Captain Kuchiki so I don't believe for an instant you've been active. He sent you to Captain Kotetsu to get pregnant, didn't he?"
My face gets hot. "Shut up, Renji!" I snap before breaking down and crying. He scampers to my side and rubs my back gently.
"What is going on here?" Lord Kuchiki asks, his voice cold as ice.
"I don't know! We were having a talk and she just broke down crying!" Renji shouts excitedly.
"Nanami?"
"I'm just so tired and overwhelmed by everything lately, Captain. I'm sorry." I whimper.
"Renji, give us a moment, please."
Renji scurries outside while Lord Kuchiki sits at his desk. "You were told to stay home and rest. You have been through so much lately that I am aware you are struggling to keep your head above water, Nanami." he says, sounding slightly irritated.
"I didn't want to stay home." I mumble softly.
"I believe your marriage vows stated that you would obey me."
I look to my feet. "You're right. I am sorry I disappointed you."
"You have not disappointed me. I am simply worried for your health."
"I will be fine. Please, you have more important things to worry about."
"Has anyone told you how Hisana died?"
"I...no. My father simply said she was ill."
"That is not the truth. Hisana is Rukia's older sister. She abandoned Rukia when she was a young girl and Rukia was an infant because she was unable to care for herself and a baby. I met her in the Rukongai and fell in love. After we married, she spent from sun up to well past midnight searching for Rukia to try to make amends. She fell ill from exhaustion and refusal to eat or drink. You are heading down that same path."
"I am not going to die from a little stress, Captain."
"When is the last time you slept?" I refuse to answer, completing the paper in front of me to distract myself. "Must I suspend you from active duty?"
"No! Please, sir! I don't want to rest. I don't want to stay home. I don't want to be able to think." I cry.
"What is it that troubles you so much, Nanami?"
"I'm scared, Master! I'm scared that if you try to take Lady Hayate down, that she's going to hurt me or you or both."
"Come here." I sadly get to my feet, prepared for the verbal lashing he's going to give me, but...he simply pulls me into his lap and holds me. "I will not let anything happen to you, Nanami. And you can count on Captain Zaraki as well if I'm not available to protect you. Trust us."
"You don't like him though."
"I do not have to like him to trust him with your safety."
"I suppose that's true."
"Will you please rest? I will never admit it while others are present but I am worried, especially if you are with child."
"I...have been receiving death threats. I can't rest because I'm constantly having to watch my back." I sigh.
He stiffens. "What?"
"Not only from Lady Hayate, but also from friends of the family and other anonymous parties. It is taking a toll on my anxiety, sir."
"If you would like, Captain Kyoraku has asked to borrow you for a day or so. Akane is planning some sort of festival and would like your help."
"Is it safe?"
"There is no place safer, I believe."
"Then....if you are certain it is alright with you, I would like to go. Perhaps getting my mind off of things will help."
"That was my thought as well." He kisses the top of my head before getting to his feet and setting me on mine. "Come along. I shall take you to Captain Kyoraku's home."
**************************
"Nanami!" Akane flies to hug me, squashing the breath out of my chest. "I'm so happy you're here! I heard you have a keen eye for decorations and I'd love to get your input on a summer festival!"
"I'd be happy to help." I squeak. Apparently this alerts her to my lack of air as she releases me.
"Thank you for letting me borrow her, Captain Kuchiki! I really appreciate it."
"I will return for her tomorrow after I finish my work." he states calmly.
"Perfect!"
Before I can tell him good bye, I'm dragged into the bowels of the Kyoraku family home. To my surprise, she drags me into a nursery. "You have to keep this a secret, Nanami, even from your husband." she says, very seriously.
"What?" She guides me to a crib, where an infant lays. "Akane! I didn't know-"
"Oh...no, she's not mine. I'm sure you've heard about Captain Zaraki's wife passing away, right?"
"Yes...is this child his?!"
"No. Harmona is unable to die. When she gave her life for mine last year, she became an infant. Captain Kurotsuchi made us aware of this and Shunsui jumped at the chance to raise her. Her previous life was...oh it was terrible. Sometimes I think she remembers people though. She's very clingy to Shunsui."
I blink a few times before looking at the child again. Sapphire blue hair...the same color as the blue in Ryden's. "Why are you keeping this a secret from Kenpachi?" I ask, a bit angry with her.
"Nanami, we can't expect him to raise his own wife. That would make things very awkward when she grows up, don't you think? We want to raise her in a safe, non-abusive place so hopefully she's not as damaged as she was in her previous life. That way hopefully she can love Kenpachi in a healthy way."
I think about it and sigh. "I can see what you mean, but I still think maybe you should tell him a little bit, Akane."
"Shunsui wants to keep it a secret as long as possible and surprise him for his birthday when she's old enough."
"You two are cruel, I think, but I'm sure he will love her."
"We know he will. You didn't know him before but he was a lot wilder. He's really mellowed out since last year. Hell, he trains me every once in awhile when I'm having trouble figuring something out and he's a lot more patient than he was."
"He...seems very protective, if a little rough around the edges."
She looks at me keenly. "What-"
"Before I married Captain Kuchiki, I was worried about the wedding night so...I asked Kenpachi. And I had a few drinks with him last night and told him about the Hayate physician...Akane, he knew your mother."
"I had a suspicion he did. I've never asked him though." she sighs.
The baby begins to stir and whimper a little and Akane picks her up. However, she reaches for me. I am unsure of holding a baby, though Harmona seems able to hold her head up. Akane hands her to me and a large smiles comes on the child's face. I can't help but smile as well. "You are very cute indeed, little one. I see why your children are too."
She giggles, her husky blue eyes lighting up.
"See why we think she understands things? She's only seven months old by our reckoning but...I just don't know. I love her like she was my own though." Akane smiles gently.
"I have a feeling you're right." I admit. I don't know how I can keep this from Captain Zaraki. I don't feel comfortable that such a secret is being held from him. It's not fair, though...I suppose I can understand the reason for it, even if I don't agree. I make a vow to myself to figure out how to tell him without telling him. He's suffering.
****Byakuya POV****
"Where is Nanami? She seemed really down today, brother." Rukia asks as we sit down to eat dinner.
"Miss Akane asked to borrow her overnight. She is planning a summer festival for everyone to enjoy and thought perhaps Nanami could use a distraction from the investigation into her family." I reply smoothly.
"Oh, what a wonderful idea! However, I don't trust the scoundrel Shunsui. You know he-" Granny starts but I hold up my hand.
"Shunsui has changed a lot since meeting Miss Akane. He is less of a skirt chaser and is only interested in hers so I am not worried about her safety there. And I have full faith that Miss Akane will keep him in line."
"Well, I am glad to hear it. He really must put his libido to rest." she laughs. "What was her excuse for missing dinner last night?"
"We had a small argument so she went to spend time with Orihime. Captain Zaraki offered her some sake, which she drank, and apparently she told him about the Hayate physician. He is furious and has offered his help should we need it. He seems to have a paternal care for her and sees her as his child."
"But I am her father." Lord Hayate sighs.
"I mean no offense, nor does he. Captain Zaraki is The Kenpachi, you see. However, he has a soft spot for women who need a father or brother figure in their lives. I think he is trying to fill the emptiness he feels since his wife was poisoned by Akane's sister last year and passed."
"The Kenpachi was married? She must have been a devil herself." he scoffs.
"Yes, in a way, she was. She survived terrible abuse from an adoptive father and then spent two hundred years in her shikai form of a blue wolf."
He drops his chopsticks in surprise. "Then...my word! I had seen her before! Nanami did too! We stumbled upon her one night while that beast was killing my sons sheep. I let it be because she was obviously starving. She didn't try to hurt us, though we startled her. She let Nanami pet her, though Nanami was just a young girl then."
"That does indeed sound like Harmona. She loved children. You may see three of her children here from time to time. I enjoy bringing them here, as they enjoy helping collect the fruits from the orchard."
"Ah, how sweet. I myself love children too, though I will honestly say I'm not good at raising them. Nanami was a fluke, truth be told." he chuckles softly. "She's always been too sweet for her own good."
"I will say that sweetness is why I chose her for my bride, Lord Hayate. However, she does have a stubborn streak that presents itself every now and again, which is refreshing."
"Yes. She is a good girl indeed. I would hope that you continue to make her happy, Lord Kuchiki. She deserves happiness above all else."
"I will strive to."
****************
I am in my home office when a commotion brings my attention to the door. It flies open with no knocking and there stands Zaraki with a...I believe it's a man, hanging limply from a fist. Blood drips onto the floor. "This is that bug that is a problem, Kuchiki. I kept him alive so you can deal with him, if you want. If not, I'll finish it. Sick fuckin' bastard." Zaraki growls.
"Master, we couldn't stop him!" several of the staff cries.
"It is alright. Captain Zaraki, come in. Avoid the rug, if you would."
He gives me that animal grin but does as I've asked, turning to lock the door behind him. "Where is Noodle, by the way? I don't wanna fuck her head up worse."
"She is staying the night with Akane and Captain Kyoraku tonight." I sigh.
"Good." he says, dropping the man on the floor. "This is the Hayate physician. He screams like a girl, he's pissed himself twice and, this is the part you'll really love, he fuckin' bragged about what he did to her."
"She is mine! I will sire a new noble race with her! I will enjoy her body. She wants me to. Ask her. She wants me to fill her with my seed." the man laughs hysterically, causing Zaraki to kick him.
"He keeps sayin' this shit over and over. I think he's got a few screws loose."
I stand and walk closer. The man has short black hair and muddy brown eyes. "Do you understand what the word no means, doctor?" I ask quietly.
"Yes...but Nanami never said it. Of course, that would have been hard with the tape over her mouth. Had Lady Hayate not stopped me, she would have been mine already. Her body would have been mine to use and abuse as I please! I am a god! Where is she!?"
Zaraki kicks him again, his lip lifting in a snarl. "Told you he's batshit crazy."
My fury is rising. This man is a monster, worse than Zaraki ever thought about being. "He will die. I cannot allow his existence while she lives."
"I will rape her! I will fill her with my seed and sire a new race! She is mine! Lady Hayate promised her to me!" the man screams.
I do not stop to think. I draw Senbonzakura and stab him between the eyes. As the light leaves them, a cold fury grows. "Kenpachi, I will leave you to dispose of the body. I cannot let her father see this or I have no doubt he will get the wrong idea. Can I trust you to stay silent on this matter?"
"You better kill that fuckin' bitch or I will, Byakuya." he snarls before picking the body up and heading for the window behind me. "I'll stay quiet though. Til Noodle is ready to hear it."
"Thank you."
"You keep her safe, Princess, or I'll come after you and that bitch next."
"I understand."
I will never be able to tell Nanami that I killed her tormentor in cold blood. However, my mind is much more at peace now. However, now I must focus on Lady Hayate and destroy her.
****Nanami POV****
"Bye, Nanami! Come visit me again sometime!" Akane calls as I leave with Lord Kuchiki.
"I will, I promise. I can't wait to see how the festival turns out!" I reply cheerfully.
"It's going to be a blast!"
"Literally." I giggle.
As we get out of sight, Lord Kuchiki stops. "What do you mean, it will be a blast?"
"Oh, we are having some fireworks." I smile, blushing slightly.
"I see. Did you have fun with Akane?"
"Yes. It was very relaxing being so distracted with planning, sir. Thank you for letting me go."
"You are welcome. I am glad to see you in better spirits."
"I...sir, if I was asked to keep a secret and I didn't feel comfortable with it, what would you advise me to do?"
"Is the secret something that will harm others?"
"Well...not exactly. The person is already hurt and this secret may help make them feel better."
"I would not say anything then. Let it be a surprise, if the person who told you wishes it to be."
"But...well, alright. I missed you, Master."
"I missed you as well. I find your cooking is far superior to the staff. And your conversation is far more pleasant. I do not like sleeping alone either."
I giggle. "My poor husband. I am sorry for making you suffer."
"I said nothing about suffering."
"I...oh. I see."
He grabs my hand and kisses it softly. "I was miserable without you. My reports are no fun without you around for me to bounce ideas off of. Renji is an idiot and doesn't seem to understand my thought process like you do."
I blush deeply. "You poor man. I shall help you tomo-"
"Tomorrow is a day that several captains and lieutenants have taken off. The women's soul reaper association is going to the beach and I felt that perhaps you'd like to go, even though you aren't part of their group."
"I've never been to a beach."
"Would you care to join us, then? Normally only captains and lieutenants can go but since I refused to go unless you were with me, they were fast to offer to let you come along too. Rukia will be going as well."
"Master...I don't have anything-"
"I am of the understanding that Lieutenant Matsumoto intends to take the other women who are going shopping this evening. Would you care to go too? Rukia is intending to."
"I...are you sure it's ok?"
"Yes. I do not mind if you go with them."
"Sir...is there any particular color you like?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I wish to wear something that you will like too."
"I do not have a color I favor more than others. I believe you are beautiful no matter what color you wear. I only ask that you do not wear black."
"May I ask why?"
"You wear black for work. It is a day to relax tomorrow."
I can't say I understand where he's coming from, but I nod as if I do. "I'm sure I can find-"
"Nanami, I wish for you to wear what you want to. Do not worry about modesty if you do not wish. I also wish to warn you that Lieutenant Matsumoto is very proud of her womanly assets so she will flaunt them."
I'm sure my face probably has the shade of a tomato. "Maybe I should stay home, sir. I feel awkward with the small-"
He turns and pins me against a tree. "Nanami, you don't notice things, do you?"
"Hmm?"
He parts my kosode gently. "You have lines where your bras are cutting in. Are you really unaware that you are filling out a bit since you came to live in my home?"
"I thought I was just getting fat, to be honest."
"No, Nanami. Whatever that human girl told you to do to make them bigger, it is working. You are no longer mistaken for a boy. You have nothing to be shy over. I do not wish you to flaunt them as Matsumoto does, but I do wish you would be more confident in yourself."
I swallow before looking him in the eye. "Master...uhm...it's a bit uncomfortable." I say softly.
"What is?"
"I...the tree bark." I lie.
He restores my kosode. "I implore you, Nanami, to do something for yourself that gives you confidence. You are beautiful."
"I will find something, I'm sure." I say quietly.
**********************************
"Alright, girls! Let's get shopping for bathing suits and please, for the love of all things Holy, do not get the same bathing suit as someone else! We're all individuals! Show some personality!" Lieutenant Matsumoto orders. The busty blond from squad 10 is very...zealous. Though she's beautiful, she and Orihime have much in common. It is no wonder the men drool after them.
"No need to be jealous, Nanami." Lieutanant Ise laughs.
"I am not jealous...simply wondering how she manages to keep such large assets from spilling out of her shihakushou." I sigh.
"Hey, yours aren't as small as they were so be happy. You actually look like a woman now. What's the secret?"
"Uhm....Orihime is better at explaining." I blush. She stalks off toward the human girl, making me breathe a sigh of relief. I turn to the racks and look through them. I avoid the blacks, as Lord Kuchiki suggested. I am not really fond of that color anyway.
"Nanami...don't get a one piece." Rukia whispers in my ear, causing me to jump.
"Miss Rukia, you should really stop sneaking up on me! My heart is going to give out one day." I tease her.
"Sorry. But seriously, get a two piece. One pieces will make your back and belly itch after you get done swimming."
"Really?"
"Mmhm. And...I think maybe pink or purple would look beautiful on you."
I pick one up and hold it up for Rukia to see. It's baby blue with pink sequins in the shape of daisies. "I like this one."
"Go try it on to make sure it fits but that would be really cute on you! Byakuya will love it, I'm sure."
I blush and head for the fitting rooms. Will he like it? As I get it on, I turn to look in the mirror. Seeing myself, I blush. I've only ever wore a one piece bathing suit. And...Lord Kuchiki was right. My chest is fuller but not outrageously so. There is no mistaking me for a boy anymore. I am pleased. I am sure he will like this bathing suit.
************************************
Rukia and I get home long after dinner time. Luckily, we ate with the girls. She wishes me good night at the door before heading in the opposite direction of the manor. I head for Lord Kuchiki's office and am rewarded when I see the light on. I knock gently.
"Enter." his voice calls from inside.
I simply stick my head in the door. "I'm just letting you know Rukia and I made it home."
"I believe I told you to enter, Nanami." he says cooly.
I go into the room and close the door. "Have I done something to upset you, Master?"
"Not at all. Come sit with me."
As I prepare to sit in a chair, he makes a soft coughing noise so I look up at him. "Are you ill?"
"Nanami, I said to come sit with me. That chair is not with me, is it?"
I blush and instead round the desk and sit gently on his lap. His arms fold around me and he kisses the back of my head. "Master....is everything alright?"
"I was worried about you, that is all."
"I'm sorry we were out so late."
"Do not be. Did you find something that you like?"
"Yes. I hope you will like it too."
"I am sure I will. You are beautiful, Nanami. Your clothing only accentuates that beauty."
My face is on fire. "Thank you, sir."
"Are you sleepy?"
"I...surprisingly, yes. I never realized just how exhausting that shopping is."
"Then let's go to bed. I am tired too."
I smile a bit. "May I make a request?"
"Perhaps."
"Can I cuddle with you?"
"Nanami, you are being silly. You do not have to ask to cuddle with me."
"I know, but you seem to not like cuddling too much so I thought maybe that would help if I did."
"I only enjoy cuddling with you. Among other things."
My entire body heats. "Sir, may I go to bed now?"
"Yes. It is past time for bed. Let us retire."
I lead him to our bedroom and quickly get ready for bed, as he does. As I lay beside him, I lay my head on his chest and scoot as close to him as I can. "I love you. Good night, Master."
"Good night, Nanami." he sighs softly, already seeming to be sinking into sleep. I close my eyes, listening to the beat of his heart in my ear and feeling comforted. His hand strokes my head gently and sink further, unable to resist the pull.
