I wait for Zaraki to get out of the house before dashing to the bathroom. It's the day of the wedding and I'm sick as a dog right now. There's no denying my condition now. It's not medically confirmed but this is the tenth day in a row I've woke up sick. And food smells funny. I'm fucked. Literally. The three weeks before this weren't so bad other than the exhaustion but I can't pass this off as stress anymore. When my system is finished purging what little bit is left in my belly, I get to the sink and brush my teeth. I just need to get through today.
"You look terrible!" Yumichika screeches upon arriving in the house.
"Nerves." I say.
"Shower! Right now! You look like you're letting birds move in on your head!"
I laugh a little. "Yumi, get a nausea pill from the med kit, will you? My nerves are so bad right now I'm making myself sick."
"We can't have that. Go shower. I'll get you a pill and some orange-"
"No juice! Please. Water. My stomach isn't going to handle any juice." I say, feeling sick at the mere mention of the word.
He eyes me keenly. "It's not just nerves, is it?"
"I don't know. Just keep your mouth shut, please."
He nods. "Fine."
I climb in the shower, letting the warm water relax my tense muscles. I'm still scared of crowds. This is going to be a big test today. From my understanding....the entire Seireitei will be attending. That's thousands of Soul Reapers. Plus Ichigo, Orihime, their son Kazui, Yoruichi, Kisuke and Tessai. I want to curl into a ball and hide but if I cower from this challenge, I will lose all respect I've gotten in this stupid city. I wish my mother was here to see this...the very thought that she's not makes my heart ache. I've claimed for a long time that I hated her but, in reality, I love my mother. Great. Now I'm going to cry like an idiot during the wedding. Stupid fucking hormones!
***Kenpachi POV***
"Cap'n...you sure you're ready for this?" Ikkaku asks as we sit in the meetin' hall designed for mass meetin's for the entire Seireitei. Harmona will love it, I'm sure. Shunsui has gone overboard with the damn orchids. They line the walls, the seats, petals on the floor...she's gunna sneeze her damn head off, probably.
"Yeah. She's mine, with or without marriage but Central forty six is still tryin' to find a way to remove her from my squad. This is the only way to keep her safe. Especially right now." I grumble.
"What's special about now?"
"Gut feelin' somethin's wrong. Don't know what but somethin' is wrong."
"You know, you accuse her of being bad at lying but you're bad at it too, sir." he laughs.
"It ain't my secret to tell."
"People should start pouring in soon. You know, I've heard a lot of women are pissed at Wolf for marrying you."
"If they'd wanted me for more than my dick, they shoulda said somethin'. Wolf ain't with me for that, though she says it's a good bonus."
"Yeah, we know. Much noise as she makes sometimes, you must have a damn club."
"Wouldn't you like to know...how's Nanao by the way?"
"Things are going slow but she's starting to warm up a little. Wolf's been giving me pointers."
I smirk. "You actually trust my woman with relationship advice?"
"Well, y'all are getting married so she must know something about it."
"Tch. I had to fight to get her to say yes."
"She's prefect for you though, Cap'n."
"Yeah, she is. I won't give her up without a fight to the death."
Shunsui walks in, minus the usual pink kimono over his shoulders. "Well now, don't you just look like a man getting ready to go off on a two week honeymoon?" he teases me.
"You better leave us alone for two weeks. We'll be busy relaxin'." I growl.
"Relaxing my ass. We all know what you two will be up to." Ikkaku cackles.
"How you feeling, Zaraki? You ready for this?"
"More than ready. I'm not lettin' you or Central Forty Six take her from me again."
He smiles. "I wouldn't dream of it. You know she just won't quit bitching at me about the infirmary incident. I think I messed up bad with that call."
"Really? You don't say."
"How's she doing? She's been looking a little pale the last couple of days."
"She's nervous as hell. She still hates people and crowds like this make it worse. I wish I had more time to work with her on that but for some reason she said she wanted to get hitched as fast as possible. Maybe she's afraid you'll take her from me again."
"Maybe. You know I was just doing what I thought was best. I know she's got a lot of issues from her childhood. I thought it would help."
"She's got me and that's all she wants."
He nods. "I see that now."
I get to my feet as people start pourin' in. Ikkaku punches my shoulder in a brotherly fashion. "Show time. You got this, Captain."
****Harmona POV****
I don't recognize myself in the mirror. Yumichika and Rangiku have completely transformed me. My hair has been placed into a messy bun on top with tiny, delicate braids dangling down from the sides and back. A violet kanzashi flower is above each ear with three little yellow tails. Rangiku has done an amazing job on my make up. Subtle, but noticeable above my eyes with the blue-grey shadow. My lips are tinted with a light red color and she's dusted my cheeks with pale pink to give me a little color. My ears are adorned with small sapphire tear drops to match the necklace. And glitter. Oh lord the body glitter. Zaraki is going to freak out.
"You're beautiful, Wolf." Yumichika says, smiling proudly as Rangiku finishes tying my kimono shut. "Absolutely stunning."
I lift my foot, smiling at the faint jingle. "Thank you. Both of you."
"It's a full crowd out...holy shit! You clean up nice, Wolfie!" Renji says, sticking his head through the door.
I blush a little. "You think so?"
"Think? What is this word you speak of?" He teases. "Man, Zaraki is gunna be speechless. You're beautiful, sis."
I tilt my head. "Sis?"
He scratches his chin and blushes a little. "I've kinda come to view you as a sister. You've never steered me wrong and you've always helped with Ichika since Zaraki brought you here as a wolf."
I smile. "Alright then, brother. Although how a rooster and a wolf came to be family, I'll never know."
"Who's walking you down the aisle?" Rangiku asks.
I frown. "I...actually hadn't thought of that."
"I will, if you want me to. I don't mind and I know Rukia won't either." Renji offers.
"Nope. Not going to happen. She's my kid so I'll hand her off." Shunsui says, bursting in. He stops dead in his tracks when he looks at me. "Oh, kiddo...I'm so proud of you." he says, tearing up a little.
"Stop! No crying! If you cry, I'll cry then I'll have to beat you up for ruining my make up!" I shout, causing everyone to laugh.
He wraps me in a hug, kissing my cheek softly. "She would be so proud. Both of them would." he whispers. I bite my lip to keep from crying. "You ready for this?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"We'll go get seated. Ichika is already throwing flowers so it's about time for you to get out there, Wolf." Yumichika says. Everyone but Shunsui and I sweeps through the door. I take a deep breath.
"You'll be fine. He's a good man, Harmona. I can tell he loves you more than he loves fighting." Shunsui says gently.
"I know he is. I'm just...a little nervous."
"You'll be fine. I've shortened the ceremony down a bit then we can go to the reception and that's outside so it's not as crowded."
I breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank you!"
"I figured you needed a little break."
"I'm also nervous for another reason."
"What's wrong?"
I look at him then at my feet. "I think...I'm pregnant."
He waits a few minutes before clearing his throat. "Are you serious?"
"I think. I don't want anybody to know. I need to figure out how to tell him. I've been hiding the symptoms as much as possible the past ten days. He had suspected it four weeks ago so I just stopped letting him see."
He sighs. "Kiddo, this is a shock but I'm here if you need help, ok? You'll be fine. I've seen you with Ichika. As for him, don't let him fool you. He's ok with kids."
I nod. "Well...let's get this over with. I feel a little better."
He sticks his head out the door and gives a thumbs up. Suddenly, there's beautiful harp music playing. He turns to me and smiles. "Let's go see his face. I bet he won't be able to take his eyes off you."
"When does he ever?"
"True."
****Kenpachi POV****
The harp starts playin'. Shunsui is nowhere in sight. "The hell is that idiot doin'?"
"He's walking her. How wouldn't let Renji do it." Ikkaku whispers.
"That makes sense."
"Nervous?"
"Mostly because I don't trust Yumichika or Matsumoto. She better not come out lookin' like a clown."
"Look up."
I glance at the door and do a double take...this can't be my Wolf. She's...beyond stunnin'. A few people laugh, seein' my goofy ass grin but I don't care for once. The purple and yellow of her kimono blend with her hair beautifully. She looks like a fuckin' angel...no, a goddess. What the hell did I do to get rewarded in life like this? Wait a minute. I hear reiatsu bells. My eyes travel down to her feet as she gets closer. Cheeky brat put my bells on the yarn coverin' her feet.
As she steps in front of me, I can see the barely concealed fear in her eyes and nod. She's doin' good. She smiles at me nervously. Shunsui is talkin' and I'm not payin' attention until she gets a terrified look on her face. "What?"
"I said, do you take her as your wife for as long as you two shall live?" Shunsui prods gently.
"I do. I'll kill any man that tries to stop me too." I growl.
She relaxes. Good. I can't help it she's distractin'.
"I do." she says softly in answer to Shunsui's question.
"Then I pronounce you husband and wife. Zaraki, her ring please."
I hand him her ring and hear him mumblin somethin' before he hands it back. I put it on her finger. It matches her earrings sort of. It's a simple band made of silver with small sapphires in it alternatin' with a couple amethyst. She hands him my ring and he mumbles the same shit over it before she slips it on my finger. She picked it. It's black with a skull on each side of a sapphire, the mouths lookin' ready to swallow it. I love it.
"You may kiss your bride, Captain Zaraki." Shunsui announces.
She flies into my arms and kisses me like there's no tomorrow. Nearly everyone laughs at her cheekiness. I, however, am irritated. They really expect me not to ravage her right now? Are they fuckin' crazy? However, she pulls away, her eyes dancin' with more life than I think I've ever seen in her. I grab her hand and turn to face the crowd.
***Harmona POV***
He actually did it. I'm still in shock. When he didn't answer at first I admit, I started to panic but...he actually married me. He leads me down the aisle, now lines with the swords of squad 11 in an arch above our heads. When we get outside, he pulls me in for another kiss, a gentle one this time. "You look beautiful, Wolf." he says softly, ignoring the guests milling out behind him.
"Thank you." I say, blushing a little.
"You ok?"
"Yeah. Nerves. Its better outside."
"Stay close to me."
"I can smell Mori. He wasn't in the hall but I smell him out here. It's faint."
"Don't worry about it. You know the men won't let anythin' happen to you."
I smile a little. "Can we go now? I'm hungry."
He gives me a look. "Depends. You gunna puke again if you eat?"
"How did you know?"
"Yumichika told me. How long you been hidin' it?"
"Ten days. I didn't want to worry you...I think you were right last month. I think I'm pregnant."
He sighs but nods. "It'll be ok. I ain't leavin' you. I know it's mine."
I hug him tightly. "Duh."
"Come on. Let's go mingle with these commoners."
"Now you sound like that princess voyeur pants."
His laughter rings, causing many people to flee out of his way as we make our way to the reception area in the squad 11 barracks. I've never seen it look so...festive. The men cheer as we enter. Sake is being passed around. I pass mine to Zaraki each time it's handed to me. It doesn't take long for the men to catch on but they don't comment at first.
"Now, who're ready for some food?! I've brought some favorites from the world of the living and have prepared it along with these fine men from squad eleven." Tessai yells.
He's greeted with cheers and whistles. Zaraki is chatting up Shunsui. I'm sitting at a table, between Renji and Ichigo, Ichika nestled in my lap sleeping. She's a red headed ball of energy usually but the excitement has gotten to her, I think. She's only seven. Kazui is asleep in Ichigo's lap too. He's a little younger than Ichika. They've been playing pretty hard while waiting on food.
"So...you and Kenpachi going to be having kids any time soon?" Ichigo asks suddenly.
I cough, having been in the middle of taking a drink of water. "What?"
"You seem to like kids and I think he does too, considering that little pink haired menace he used to have around him all the time."
"Yachiru was...a trip, to say the least. Captain Zaraki misses her though so don't bring her up." Yumichika says from across the table.
"Sorry." Ichigo sighs. "Anyway, so are you going to have kids with him or not? That's actually a really scary thought. He's like...big and scary and so powerful. I'd be afraid he would accidentally hurt the kid or something."
"Nah, not Zaraki. I've seen him with Ichika. It was pretty cute when she was littler. She invited him for a tea party once when she was four and Zaraki showed up on time and everything. He seemed to enjoy himself too, really." Renji chuckles.
"He's a big kid at heart." Yumichika sighs. "However, I don't really think he could handle an actual newborn."
"We'll see, sooner or later." I mumble.
Zaraki walks over finally and Renji scoots over for him to sit. I lay my head on his shoulder but he surprises me by putting his arm around me and letting my head rest on his chest. "The lunk heads borin' you?" he asks.
"No. I'm just finally feeling like this is reality and not a dream."
"If it's a dream, since it's me, it's a nightmare." he chuckles.
"Sometimes nightmares aren't that bad then." I giggle.
Food finally arrives so I shake Ichika. "Wake up, little monkey. It's time to eat."
"I not a monkey, Wolfie." she giggles as I start tickling her sides. She crawls into Zaraki's lap and I see him glance down.
"What'd ya want me for, brat?"
"Cause you're funny, Kenny. I wanna grow up and be in your squad. Have fun all day!" she chirps.
"Get strong and I'll make an exception to the no girls rule." he growls.
I see Renji pale and laugh. Maybe he won't be so bad as a father.
***Kenpachi POV***
She's bein' careful, eatin' the milder foods like rice and steamed vegetables and avoidin' her favorites. While I'm glad to see her eat, she's not eatin' much and it bothers me. I don't comment though. I won't ruin her surprise, if she wants it to be one. She's already drawin' attention by passin' me her sake cups.
"Alright, what gives! You're supposed to be drinking on your wedding day, Wolf!" Arimaki yells. "It's rude to keep passing them off to Captain Zaraki."
"I...uh...can't drink." she mumbles.
"Why not? You've drank with us before. Marriage doesn't change who you are able to drink with!"
"I can't, Maki Maki."
"Captain, let her drink-"
"I'm pregnant, you idiot! I can't drink!" she yells finally. The crowd gets silent and she blushes.
"Are you serious?" Ichigo asks.
"As a heart attack."
"Is that why he married you?!" Ikkaku snaps. The hell is he so mad about?
"No. I married her cause I love her. Wanna fight about it?" I growl.
It's quiet again until Shunsui stands up. "If it's a boy, you name it after me so I can spoil him to death." he laughs.
"In your dreams!" she laughs before drinkin' more water. She's been drinkin' a lot of water today and I think I know why. She fills her belly up with water, she won't want to eat that way she won't get sick. It's a good strategy but I won't allow it past today.
"Seems even bigger congratulations are in order for Captain Zaraki. First he finds something I've been looking for for two hundred years, then marries it and now is breeding with it. Well now, Harmona, you've done pretty well for yourself, haven't ya, you little bitch?" a dark voice says from on top of the barracks wall. "You've got all these men wrapped around your finger when your own mother couldn't even stand you. You know why she left you with me? At a year old, barely even crawling yet, you killed my wife. She was the first of your many kills. You're a blood thirsty monster. But you can't die. That's why Yamamoto took you from me! You can't die! You're a monster!"
"I've been smelling you the past three months, Mori. Did you come here to die, old man?"
Harmona's voice has changed. It's dark, even darker than when her demon takes over.
"No, girl, I came here to slaughter you but since you're knocked up, I'll wait. I want your husband and child to suffer like I've suffered without my wife. See you around."
Before anyone can move, the man is gone. Harmona grabs my hand, holdin' it tight and she starts tremblin'. The sour smell of fear permeates the air around her. "Wolf, it's ok." I say quietly.
"Search parties! Ten, five and eight! Find him and bring him into custody!" Shunsui orders before pullin' her up into his arms. "Harmona, honey, it's ok. We won't let him hurt you. Trust me and Zaraki, ok?"
"I'll kill him myself." she snarls.
"Wolf, stop it! Get a med kit!" Ikkaku yells.
Med kit....that's when I see it. She's turnin and her nails are sunk deep into her hands. She's tryin' to ground herself. "Shunsui, give her here. Hurry." I order. He gives me a stern look but places her in my lap. I push her head against my chest. "He can't hurt you anymore, Wolf. You're stronger than him. You can kick his ass real easy now. Calm down."
She turns her head and buries her nose in my chest before breathin' in deep. "I will tear him limb from limb, Kenpachi. I will do what I did to that doll and eat his disgusting corrupt heart fresh from his chest." she hisses.
"I believe you. Now settle down. You're burnin' me."
She takes another deep breath in...and another and finally she calms herself enough to release her fists. Her blood drips on my haori as I pull her hands away from her dress. "I'm so sorry."
Shunsui starts rubbin' her back gently. "Nothing to be sorry for, kiddo. However, you two need to go ahead and get outta here, ok? Go take your two weeks. Relax. You don't need to be so stressed out. Bad for baby."
"Uhm...Wolfie, would you mind if I heal your hands? It bothers me when people I care about are hurt." Orihime asks shyly.
"Sure." Harmona says, calmer than a sleepin' snake. She turns in my lap and holds her hands out to the girl. The dome appears over her and me both and I hold back a growl. Damn brat knows I don't need these little burns healed. Somethin' is different though. I hear soft thumpin'. Orihime looks excited.
"What the hell's that noise?" I grouch.
"Oh, Kenny! I've never healed a pregnant person before but my Shun Shun Rika tell me that that's the heart beats. There's two!" She giggles excitedly.
"Are you serious!?" Shunsui yells.
The girl nods. "Yes. There's two separate beats. Twins. Congratulations!" Twins? She's havin' twins? Oh sweet fuckin' blood on the goddamn battle field. Fuck me! Harmona goes limp suddenly and Orihime giggles. "I think Wolfie is a little shocked. She'll be ok, Kenny. Don't worry."
"Three weeks. I'm giving you extra because she'll need it. Once Orihime's done, get out of here." Shunsui laughs.
The cheerin' behind me from the squad is deafenin'. I poked her for fun and she took me serious. Too serious. Oh hell be damned! Fuck!
