I groan when I wake, though I feel great. Maybe I got a good night's sleep for once. Zaraki is laying beside me, his arm holding me tightly to his body. I remeber the hallucinations but everything is blurry after that. As I look around I realize we are back at Kisuke's store. How did that happen?
"Go back to sleep, Wolf." He growls, not bothering to open his eyes.
I snuggle closer to him. "Can we go home now? Nothing is working down here anyway."
"Kisuke has another idea but it's the last shot we got. Shut up and sleep."
"I don't want to. I want to go home and cuddle."
He finally cracks his eye open. "Woman, go back to sleep or it'll get ugly. We can go home later."
I growl and bite his chest. He swats my ass. I decide to squirm out of his hold and meet the eyes of Yoruichi. "Feeling better?"
"Much. My nose hurts though."
"Sorry about that. I thought scratching you might get tour attention enough to listen and calm down."
My look of confusion makes her laugh. "You really were a cat?"
"Yep. You have your wolf, I have my cat."
"Women. You talk too much." Zaraki grumbles before rolling onto his belly and pulling the pillow over his head. I decide now is a great time to really piss him off. I wiggle my ass in the air before pouncing on him. He grunts as my weight lands on his back. I seal my body to his and nip his ear.
"Never turn your back on an enemy, Captain."
"If you were my enemy, I would have killed you already." He growls.
"You're welcome to try." I tease him.
"Tch. Try? You know I can."
"Yeah, but you won't. You'd miss me."
"That's what you think."
"Fine then. Go marry some other stupid idiot." I snap before getting to my feet and leaving the room. Sometimes I wonder why I put up with him....of course I wonder why he puts up with me too. We both obviously have issues with love. I feel I'm not worthy of it. I think he is just attached to me because I'm the only woman who can go toe to toe with him.
Yumichika glances up from the table. "Morning."
"Morning, Yumi."
"Are you hungry?"
"Not really. My stomach isnt feeling very good. Probably that venom working itself out still."
He gives me a knowing look. "You're still angry. Wolf, you need to be rid of the demon. You are slowly losing who you are behind the fear and doubt it puts in your mind."
"I'm not worth dying for though."
"Kisuke has another idea. Why not try it?"
"I want to go home. I need time to think about it."
He frowns. "Fine."
I walk outside into the back lot of the shop. "Open." I say, stabbing Okami into the air. A Senkaimon opens for me. I hear Zaraki yell an order but I disregard it. I'm going home...
Shunsui is on the other side of the gate when I emerge finally. He looks tired. "Why are you alone, kiddo?"
"I was impatient to be home."
"You are supposed to be resting."
"I can rest when I'm dead."
"That's not funny."
I step nose to nose with him for a moment before hugging him. "I'm sorry."
"Come on. Let's get you home." He says softly, patting my back gently. When I release him he turns and we walk in silence back to the barracks. "Harmona, I want you to know I'm sorry for not letting Zaraki come with you. I never thought your life was in danger."
"My life is always in danger. It's ok. I'm fine. Just tired."
"Go rest. I'll send Zaraki here when they get through the gate."
"Thanks, Swee."
****Kenpachi POV****
That goddamn cheeky ass woman. I know she heard me order her to stay. I'm gunna smack that ass til it's black and blue. Yumichika gets through the gate before I do. The men point to my house and I storm there, slammin' the door open.
She's layin' naked in bed, sound asleep. My rage cools a little. At least she's restin'. The dark circles under her eyes worry me a little. I turn to leave, comin' face to face with her demon.
"Fight me. I will kill her if you don't." It hisses.
"Gladly." I snarl. "The wounds don't go to her. Thats the deal."
"I make no deals, boy. Fight me or she dies. I will not parlay further."
"Fine."
"You know nothing of the bitch you claim to love."
"I know enough."
"If you knew you wouldn't risk her life....or perhaps you would."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"You'll figure it out."
I brush past him and head for the trainin' ground. Fuck this bastard and his damn riddles.
***Harmona POV***
I feel Zaraki's reiatsu. He's in battle with a strong opponent...shit! I check myself for wounds and find none. He's going to die! I can't allow it. I throw a shihakushou on and run outside. The training grounds. The sound of battle is loud, almost like a thunder storm on the ground. The sheer power of reiatsu from my demon and Zaraki stops me in my tracks at the gate. My heart is pounding in my chest, adrenaline coursing through me.
Blood coats the training ground. Zaraki is heavily wounded but so is the demon. I have to stop this! The demon hisses as it notices me. Zaraki strikes a blow and I scream as it's transferred to me, the flesh in my thigh flayed from the bone. The demon counter strikes, his hand piercing Zaraki's chest, barely missing his heart. No! I stumble forward, dragging my leg. Before the next blow can fall on either of them, I jump in the middle. "Stop it!"
"Move, Wolf." Zaraki orders irritably.
"No!"
"Yes, move. Let him kill us, since you want to die so badly, child." the demon hisses.
"Just stop. Please." I beg.
Zaraki shoves me out of the way as the demon strikes again, hitting him in the stomach. He grunts but refuses to go down. Not until I steal Nozarashi from his hands and put it to my throat. "Stop or I will stop it for you." I snarl.
The demon hisses angrily. "Fine, little bitch. Wait until he finds out."
"Finds what out?" I ask in confusion.
"You'll see soon. Then your heart will be torn asunder and I will take over for good." he snarls before disappearing.
"The fuck do you think you're doin', Wolf?" Zaraki snarls at me.
"I can't lose you." I whimper.
"I'm not yours to lose!"
I hand his sword back. "Yeah, I know." I sigh. "You never were and you never will be. Battle is your only love." I bow to him before dragging myself back home. Fuck this hurts. I peel my hakama off, biting my cheek the entire time. The flesh is literally hanging by a thread. Looking at it makes me feel ill but I need to stop the blood loss.
"The hell is your fuckin' problem today!?" Zaraki shouts, slamming the door behind him. "You ignored my order to wait earlier now you're jumpin' in the middle of my fuckin' fight. I outta wring your scrawny fuckin' neck!"
"Then do it. Not like you care anyway whether I live or die. You said it yourself. You're not mine. Therefore, I'm not yours either. I'm just your sperm deposit, nothing more. Excuse me for caring." I snap, getting to my feet. I wobble as I head for the kitchen. No wonder he keeps all these med kits in the house. Between me and him, we go through more than enough of them. My leg tries to give out on my way back to the table but I refuse to let it until I'm back by a chair. I grab the disinfectant and suture needle. This is going to hurt like a bitch.
Zaraki grabs my hand. "Stop."
"Why? You really do want me dead, huh? Ok, I'll bleed to death. No skin off my back."
His mouth slams into mine, his hands holding my head still for a few moments. "Stop it. You've had your damn panties in a knot since you heard what Mayuri suggested. I'm not yours to lose because you won't let me be, Wolf. I want you to be free but I can't help you if you won't let me, you hateful brat."
"You don't want to be mine, Kenpachi. You only love battle." I sigh.
"No. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have asked you to marry me, you damn bitch." he snarls.
"You just want me so you have someone to fuck."
"Bullshit."
"Why do you want me so bad!? I'm nothing but a stupid pain in your ass!"
"Because I love you, numb skull. You're gettin' paler. Shut up and let me stitch it."
He doesn't give me time to argue, simply dumping the disinfectant on my leg. I throw my head back. The shit burns so bad! Fuck! As he starts stitching, the pain only gets worse, a sharp throbbing endless pain broken only but the stabbing of the needle. It takes him a few minutes but he finally finishes with me. I tackle him, my lips laying claim to his. My reiatsu raises a little, making him grunt as it infuses his wounds.
***Kenpachi POV***
I feel her everywhere inside my body. It feels good but holy shit does it hurt as my wounds close. Her kiss is distractin' me, my fury at her jumpin' in the middle of my fight slowly coolin'. After a few minutes she pulls up for air and I feel her power leavin' my body. "The hell did you do to me, woman?"
"Healed you. I can't have you dying on me, even if you do hate me, Captain. I love you too much." she sighs tiredly.
"I don't hate you. If I hated you, I'd kill you."
"You just haven't realized it yet."
"Woman, I'm gunna beat that ass clear off of you if you don't stop it. I'm marryin' your sorry ass because I love you. What more do you want?"
"Nothing. Well, maybe some food. I'm hungry now."
"What if I don't want to feed you?"
"Then I guess I'll go back to bed." I grab her before she can get to her feet and kiss her again. What her demon says is botherin' me. What is she hidin'? She seemed confused when he said it too though so maybe she's not hidin' anythin' on purpose. It's buggin' the shit outta me. She pulls away finally and gets to her feet. "I'm starving."
"Tranquilizer out of your system?"
"Mmhm. I'm not too sleepy anymore. Just really hungry."
I smirk. "What do I get if I feed you?"
"Bitten." she teases.
"Really? You'll bite the hand that feeds you, huh?"
"You should know that better than anyone."
"What?"
"That first time I ate out of your hand. You ran out of mango and I bit you for it."
"Oh, yeah. I remember."
"Feed me!"
"Rather feed a different hole."
"Maybe if you feed me!"
I laugh. "Fine, furball."
***Harmona POV***
I'm sitting in Zaraki's lap while he watches the rookies train. I watch too, looking for any weakness. Some of the men eye me warily. I don't like that. I'm a little paranoid. What if there are others like Rydin that are out to kill me? What if Mori put them up to it? I really don't want anything else to happen. I hate hospitals and doctors after the Isane incident. I've already told Zaraki that unless he cooks or I cook, I won't be eating anymore. To my surprise, he had agreed. He seems deep in thought a lot today and has been since the fight earlier. He wasn't even really paying attention when I'd made a pass at him earlier. He never misses those.
His hands creep to my thighs and squeeze teasingly. I shift in his lap a little. Is he trying to make me want him? In front of the men? His hand shifts up to my belly and he rubs gently. He's gone mad. Completely mad. "I'm not a wolf right now. I don't need my belly rubbed." I say softly.
"Is that so? Maybe I should rub somewhere else." he replies.
"In front of the men?"
"They know you're mine. And how many times have you snuck up on them to watch?"
"I didn't watch on purpose. I was...curious."
"Now you're not, hmm?"
"Why would I be? You've taught me everything I need to know about sex."
"I didn't teach you shit."
"You taught me how good it feels. And how to please you."
"You still haven't learned one thing though."
"What's that?"
"How to realize I fuckin' love you for more than your body. That shit you said earlier pissed me off."
"Huh?"
"You said you were nothin' but my personal cum dumpster. That pissed me off. You're better than that."
"Not by much. Just because you love me doesn't mean I'm anything more or less than that." I sigh.
"You're so fucked up in the head you don't believe anyone about anythin', do you?"
"Violence and harsh words were what I grew up on. It's all I hear now in my head, all day every day. Shunsui and Jushiro did what they could but what's two people against the entire squad eleven and squad one back then?"
He covers my ears before shouting. "Men! Loud and clear, tell Wolf how you feel about her. She'll be able to smell it if you lie. This shit with Rydin has her really questioning her safety here."
The men stop and stare at me for a moment before shouting as loud as possible when Zaraki moves his hands. "She's our wolf! Our mascot! Our sister! If anyone tries to harm her, we will kill them! We love her!"
I smell no lies so I give Zaraki a look of confusion. He startles me by picking me up and throwing me at the men. They catch me and take turns patting my head or hugging me. I hate being touched still but...they aren't hurting me. I wiggle my way out of the swarm as the panic starts to flood my system. I need air so I run outside the dojo to my tree.
****Kenpachi POV****
"Did we do something wrong, Captain?" Arimaki asks.
"Nothin'. She needs to get over her damn fear of bein' touched. Yumichika noticed she needs trainin' and it's gunna require someone besides me to touch her. She leaves herself wide open half the time durin' a fight. She relies on her instincts too much and that's why she gets hit most of the time. She's rusty from bein' a wolf so long."
"Oh...well, sir, uhm...how do we help without getting beat up? Every time someone touches her when she's not expecting it she gets a little punch happy."
"I'm thinkin' about it. Gimme some time."
The men nod and get back to trainin'. I get to my feet and go in search of my woman. As I figured, she's under her damn tree. This seems to be the only place she feels safe for some reason. Makes no damn sense to me. She's right out in the open. Maybe she just thinks because her mom helped her plant the damn thing that in some way her mom is still there lookin' after her. "Hey, scaredy cat. The hell you run for?"
"I don't like the touching. I never will. It's different with you because you aren't shy about hurting me."
"You still don't trust me though." I point out, leanin' back against the tree. She scoots herself over and lays her head against my leg.
"I'm trying, Kenpachi. I've got two hundred years worth of baggage to try to dig through. Two and a half months isn't really enough time."
"Urahara's idea made more sense than Mayuri's. Shut up and listen. He'll replace the demon's chain in your soul with one tyin' you to someone else. If that person dies and you still live at the time of death, they won't die. Same if you die and that person is still alive. It's a chain that'll be permanent though."
"It's not fair though...I can't die anyway so it's no trade off for me. And why give yet another person a way to hurt me?"
"What if I volunteer?"
"Kenpachi...you can't be serious."
"As a fuckin' heart attack. You're my woman and I refuse to allow you to continue to be weakened by that thing. You got a damn goal to kill that asshole that raised you. You'll never do it with that damn thing in there fuckin' with your brain and fillin' it with bullshit."
"But...won't that put you at risk? You know how I fight. I'm always letting myself get hurt."
"I'll be trainin' you from now on and the men are gunna help. You're rusty from bein' a wolf. I've looked at your records. I know you can do better than you do now."
"I'm not rusty...I let myself get hurt. Pain is like a drug to me."
"Well then, this'll keep you from bein' so damn addicted to it durin' battle then, won't it?"
She frowns. "Does that mean you won't spank me anymore?"
"What?"
"I said, does that mean you won't spank me anymore."
"Hell no. Battle is different from sex."
"Well, not really. Sex is a different kind of battle though." she giggles.
I smirk. "Glad we agree. Now when-"
"I want to have the wedding before January. Please. My gut is telling me to do it sooner."
"Fine by me."
"How about in June?"
"May. June's irritatin'."
"That gives me about five weeks. I think that's enough time."
"Go tell Shunsui. Take Yumichika with you. He looks far too bored over there doin' paperwork."
Another giggle. "Yes, sir."
I hand her some money. "Go shoppin' for anythin' you need for the weddin'. If you need more, ask Yumichika and I'll pay him back."
She hops to her feet and kisses me. "I love you. I'll come back as soon as I can. I don't need much really, just a few small things."
I wrap my arms around her and give her a rough kiss, stealin' all her air before turnin' her around and smackin' her ass. "Go on. And stay outta trouble."
"Yes, sir!"
My eye doesn't leave her as she gathers Yumichika and they head out. She trusts him. Maybe because he's one of the only ones not houndin' her about datin' him or because he's got that sarcastic fuckin' humor that she enjoys usin' on me sometimes. I don't know and I don't reckon it matters. I know he isn't gunna let anyone hurt her. He knows if he does, his head is gunna roll. I know she can take care of herself but I don't think she wants to sometimes. I think, deep down, my woman wants to die. I won't let her. She needs a chance to see how good the world can be.
***Harmona POV***
I go to Shunsui first, Yumichika in tow. He's in his office...with that damn Kuchiki bone head. I burst in anyways. "Swee, need to talk to you!"
"You're supposed to be resting! Go lay down somewhere!" he barks.
I decide to be cheeky and hop up on his desk, laying down. "I'm laying down. Happy?"
Shunsui covers his face with his hands and shakes his head. Byakuya looks at me with disgust but says nothing. Shunsui sighs and glares at me. "You, young lady, can be a real pain in the ass sometimes."
"Yep, I know. I learned it from the best way back when I was a kid." I dig at him. His smile lets me know he's not really mad.
"What do you want? I'm a busy man and you're being rude to Captain Kuchiki."
"Eh, the princess can wait for five minutes. I'm moving the wedding date from January to May. My instincts are telling me I need to do it before January. I don't know why."
"Why do you do this to me? Is Kenpachi aware of this?"
"Why do you think I'm here? Of course he knows."
"You really intend to marry such a brutish man?" Byakuya asks.
"He's my brutish man and I wouldn't love anyone else so yes." I growl.
"Don't get her started, Byakuya. Please. What day, brat?"
"The twenty first. Ok?"
He writes it on his calendar. "No more date changes. Fine. Get out of my hair! I've got important stuff to be doing."
I roll off the desk and, just to be cheeky, scatter his papers like old times. He and Kuchiki both yell at my impertinence so I run for it, laughing madly. I hear something about me being a bigger Yachiru and smile. Zaraki would be proud.
Yumichika eyes me. "You ok?"
"Yeah, sure. I'm fine. Just...something in my gut tells me I need to do this. Instinct or something."
He nods. "You have your dress. The venue is already picked because it's where all high ranking officials get married. So...what else do you lack?"
"Flowers, invitations and jewelry if I decide to wear any."
"The flowers are taken care of. Captain Zaraki arranged that already."
This shocks me. "Really? He did?"
"All but your bouquet, yes."
"I'm impressed."
"So, let's go get that taken care of. I'll help with invitations. I know how you hate paperwork."
I hesitate before asking him what I really want to. He's known Zaraki a lot longer than I have. "Am I really doing the right thing? Marrying him I mean? I don't want to make him weak."
"You don't know our captain like I do, Wolf. He never does anything he doesn't want to do. Trust me on that. He wants you. I've noticed that since you decided to be a person again two months ago, he's gotten stronger, really. It's scary. He's protective of you too. Have you noticed he won't let you go anywhere without an escort from either myself or Ikkaku? He trusts us with important tasks so to me, that makes you his most cherished item."
"Oh, I'm a possession now, huh?" I tease.
"You know what I mean. You are the person he'd lay his life down for, should the need arise."
"I don't want him to though. No one should have to make that sacrifice."
"You don't see yourself in a very good light, you know. You, my dear, are worth dying for, if only so you can see not everyone is bad."
"If you say so." I shrug.
"Hard headed as ever. Of course, our captain can be too."
I'm thinking. Maybe he's right. Maybe I am worth more than my eyes can see. I stop suddenly. "Yumichika....we have a problem."
"What is it?"
I sniff but the scent is gone already. "Damn it!"
"What?"
"I smelled him, Yumi. I smelled my father."
"Should we go home?"
I shake my head. "No. He's ruined my life enough. I refuse to run anymore. If he attacks, I'll slaughter him like the pig he is."
Yumichika's smirk eases my fears. "That's our Wolf. I'll be right here with you, cheering you on."
I nod, knowing he will be. I feel eyes on my back but refuse to turn. Let him come for me. Let him try to kill me again. I'm not afraid. "Let's go shopping, Yumi."
"Now you're talking."
The feeling of being watched doesn't go away, no matter where we go. Good. I'm right. He's here. Let him see me be happy. Let him try to stop me.
****Kenpachi POV****
I look up as Harmona and Yumichika come back into the barracks. She's smilin' and seemin' to be in a better mood than she has been the past couple of days. That's why I sent her. She takes her responsibilities way too damn serious, except for paperwork. She's a woman made for me, hatin' paperwork just as much as I do. Her smile makes me happy. However, so does the sake I'm drinkin' and the cards I'm winnin'. Ikkaku yells as he loses again, makin' me smirk.
"How are you so good at cards, Cap'n!" he yells.
"It's all there was to do besides killin' people when I was raisin' Yachiru."
"I see."
"Yumichika's back. See if he'll play."
"Sure. Take it you're going after some tail, huh?" he teases.
"For once I wasn't thinkin' about it."
He chuckles. "Something on your mind? Normally when you're free you're fucking her like there's no tomorrow."
"Her demon said somethin' about she's hidin' somethin' from me. She seemed confused though so it's buggin' the shit outta me."
"She's not knocked up, is she?"
"Shouldn't be. Her sword woulda told her not to do anythin'."
"True. You've seen her with kids though. You trust her to tell you?"
"She has been tellin' me when it's a bad time."
"You never know. She might forget one day or something."
"She's not pregnant. Orihime would've known it when she was healin' her from the poison. Plus that poison woulda killed it."
He nods. "You're right. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. Maybe it's something she should know about herself but doesn't. Like Mori isn't her dad."
I look at him. "How do you know?"
He rubs his head. "I looked over the file after you left it on your desk. Sir, not only does she not look like him but there was a line that was erased from her background. I took it to Akon and...well Akon confirmed it."
"What'd the line say?"
"She's Ukitake's kid. It was erased so she would never know and so he'd never know."
"That's fuckin' dirty. Thanks for tellin' me though. Shunsui already did but that sinks it."
"Go be with her, sir. Break it to her gently though if you decide to. She seems to take new ideas badly."
"You noticed that too, huh?"
"Hard not to notice."
I nod and walk home. Ikkaku better be wrong. When I walk inside she's already startin' on makin' her dinner. Smells like pork of some sort and rice with veggies. Stir fry maybe. I creep up behind her and lay my chin on her head. "Get everythin' you needed to?"
"Yeah."
"You're tense."
She sighs. "I smelled him while we were out. Mori, I mean."
"You ok?"
She nods. "Yeah. I'm fine. I can't keep running. I have to kill him sooner or later.
"Good. I'm proud of you for realizin' it finally."
"Wedding first, then we'll do this Kisuke's way. You're right and Yumichika pointed it out. The constant fear and doubt really is fucking with me and I can't continue letting myself be hurt. I deserve revenge and peace...well, our version of peace."
"Who're you and what've you done with my wolf?" I tease.
"Some random woman who you're holding hostage." she teases back.
"Hostage, huh? Pretty sure hostages are tied up and helpless usually."
"Oh really now? Is that what you're going to do to me, Captain? Are you going to tie me up and ravage me?"
"You want me to?"
"When do I not?"
"When you're in heat."
She laughs. "That was last week before I left for Kisuke's."
Shit...we fucked the Friday before she left. "When was the last day?"
"Uhm...Thursday I think. Why?"
I sigh in relief. "We fucked last friday and I thought maybe we might've got you knocked up."
She frowns. "I don't think so. Okami would tell me I think but the poison would've purged my system of it if I were."
"That's what I thought too."
"Out of curiosity, what would happen if it ever happened?"
"I'd rather it didn't but if it did...we'll see. I don't know shit about kids."
She nods. "Fair enough."
The thought of how she'd look with her belly swollen with my baby enters my mind again. For some reason my dick gets hard and I feel pride for the image. "Do you ever get random thoughts in your head that you didn't have before you tied yourself to me?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know. Sometimes I just get protective of you. I've never been like that with anyone else. It started a couple weeks after we started fuckin'."
"Okami says some of my instincts are rubbing off on you." she says, puttin' the food on plates for us.
"Wolf instincts?"
She nods. "Yeah. Don't worry about them. Yours will never be as strong as mine are so it shouldn't bother you any."
The thought lingers though. What if she is pregnant or does get that way? The very thought makes me want to fuck her until she is. Is this her instinct or my desires? Fuck it, who cares. She's mine. I'll do whatever I have to to keep her with me. I study her as she eats. She's so fuckin' beautiful. How can she not realize that? She'd be a good mom....what the fuck is wrong with me? The hell am I thinkin' about her bein' a mom for? If she gets knocked up she won't be able to handle the hard fuckin' we like or some positions. Hell, she probably wouldn't want sex at all. Still, thought thought of her rounded belly has me hard as a fuckin' rock. What in the hell?
