"Captain? Are you here? What the...Captain!"
I groan and open my eyes. "What the hell are you yellin' for, Baldy!?"
"Sir, Wolf's missing. I took the kids home and she's not there. I can't feel her reiatsu either."
I sit up quickly, the last bit of drunkenness leavin' me in a heartbeat. "Find her. I don't fuckin' care if you gotta tear the entire Seireitei down! Find her!"
He darts out and starts issuin' orders. No! Goddamn it no! She left me? She really fuckin' left me? A million thoughts race through my head but they all return to earlier. I'd told her I was tempted to divorce her. Why the fuck did I say that? Sure, I was angry but why would I lie like that? I've never once thought of leavin' her. What the fuck have I....wait a minute. She would never leave the kids! No way. Not as overprotective as she is.
"Captain, this was stuck to the inside of the door in your quarters." Yumichika says, handin' me a note. I scan it quickly and ball it up. "Sir?"
"Whoever has her is tryin' to convince me she left willingly. They even forged that note. Wolf would never write a damn note. She'd yell at me and leave. She hates paperwork."
"So...are you saying she was somehow kidnapped right out of our barracks?"
"Exactly."
****Harmona POV****
A hit to my jaw has me awake, spitting blood from my split lip. Mori wipes it from his face before hitting me again. "Spit on me, will you?"
"What the fuck do you want, Mori?" I snarl.
"What? No greeting for your father?"
"You're not my father. DNA tests proved it."
"Amazing how technology advances in two hundred years. You're right. I'm not your father. Good thing too or this might prove difficult. You see, I'm a loyal man to my family. A family you tore apart, you fucking bitch."
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Another hit, this time to my cheek, shattering the bone. "Let me refresh your memory. You were a year old or close to. You and your mother were walking out in the Rukongai. My wife and I met you both there. It was a pleasant conversation. Then my wife took you to a nearby stream. You came back, she didn't." At this point his voice cracks. "Your mom couldn't save her! You killed my wife. You were covered in her blood and still smiling! My wife, who would've given her life to save yours!" He hits my chest, breaking my collar bone.
"And how many times have you killed me? How many times has my heart stopped beating due to your abuse!? I don't remember killing your wife!" I scream.
He grabs my hair and yanks my head up, forcing my good eye to stare at him. "I don't care if you remember it! You killed her! I hate you! I'm gunna kill you too, you fucking bitch!"
He draws his sword. "Slither, Shiroi Yurihebi!"
"No!" I scream.
"Let's see if you can dodge death this time." he cackles before bringing the blade across my face. I scream as the toxic green poison that flows from the blade slowly begins eating my flesh. This is hell. I pray to Okami for death as I'm struck and stabbed more than fifty times. The last thing I see is his sword slicing my eyes, blinding me. My scream is ear shattering. I taste the blood from my throat.
****Kenpachi POV****
"Fuck! Mori's got her!" I yell as Shunsui runs into the barracks. Soi Fon is with him along with her stealth force.
"How do you-"
"I can feel it. She tied a soul chain to me. I've been able to feel her pain since a month after she did it. If I'm not there with her when she's injured, I feel every wound. Fuck!" I nearly vomit. It feels like my body is on fire. I grab Shunsui's shoulder. "Find her!" I beg, for the second time in my life.
"Captain Fon, there's reports of screaming in district seventy seven...Near the Mori family estate." one of her damn ninja's reports suddenly.
I glare at the man. "Lead me there. Now!"
"Zaraki, you need to stay here." Shunsui says quietly.
"No! I'm not stayin'! She's my goddamn wife! I need to be there!"
"No, you don't. If she seized up...you don't want to see this, Kenpachi. Please."
I grab him by the front of his haori. "I'm goin'. That's final!" I roar at him.
"Then let's go. Nanao, have squad four ready and prepped for surgery in case we need it....also get word to Ichigo and Orihime. We'll need her, I'm sure of it."
"Yes, Head Captain." she says. Before she turns, she pats my shoulder. "I hope you find her in time. She's a good woman."
I hope so too. This pain I feel is horrible. I'm sure a weaker person would've given in already and died. But she won't....well, can't rather.
****Harmona POV****
I can't scream anymore. He's cut me deeply, my bones showing in several places. I've vomited several times, this last time nothing more than blood. I can barely see. Okami has managed to heal a little bit of my vision but must focus on the worst of the damage. My intestines aren't inside my body. He's nearly severed my leg...I can't even feel my legs. He's damaged my spine...I can't panic. I've faced my fears too late. I can only hope someone will find me soon. Then I'll heal and take him down...I fade out as he cuts me again, my blood splattering the ground beneath the beam I'm hung from.
****Kenpachi POV****
"Wait, Kenpachi. Wait a minute. If you go in there you might startle him into hurting her worse!" Shunsui hisses at me.
"Captain Kyorakou, my men are ready to move in." Soi Fon says.
"Do it."
***Harmona POV***
"They found you quick, bitch. Too bad. I was having so much fun. My aren't you pretty? Zaraki will really enjoy looking at you now, won't he? And those babies will scream in fear of you. Just wait. I'll come back and finish the job later." Mori whispers in my ear before disappearing through a door.
"Oh my...get word out there. Keep Captain Zaraki out of here!" someone shouts as they run in from behind me. Their form is blurry but it looks like the uniform of the stealth force. The man walks closer to me. "Ma'am, are you still alive?"
"Barely." I whisper, my voice having left a long time ago.
"I...I'll stay with you. Til the medics come." he says.
"Down."
"I can't move you, ma'am. You're really messed up."
"Hurts."
"I know. I can't imagine how bad it hurts. Please, just be patient."
"Pachi."
"I can't bring him in here to see you like this. He'll go apeshit!"
"Please." I feel tears flow down my face, making the cuts to my face sting worse.
"I-"
"Let Zaraki in here. She's obviously going to die soon. She needs to be comforted. Poor woman." someone else says.
"Fine."
***Kenpachi POV***
Seein' Soi Fon's men pour out pukin' their guts up makes me have bad feelin's. How fucked up is she? Shunsui covers his face, his shoulders tremblin'. He knows. He knows just how bad this'll be. He's seen the horror before.
"It's clear. Mori escaped...She's really bad off." one of the men under Soi Fon states softly.
"How bad?" she asks.
"Uhm...he's blinded her by cutting her eyes. Her guts aren't in her body. There's no inch of skin left unmarred, almost like acid was poured on her. Some parts there's only bones showing. One leg nearly severed. Broken spine, nose and eye socket. Multiple stab wounds."
"Is she alive?"
The man nods slowly. "Yes. And awake. She spoke a couple words to us but her voice seems pretty much gone. She wants Captain Zaraki."
"Zaraki, stay out here. You don't want this image to fuck up your head." Shunsui orders.
"Fuck you." I snarl before stormin' forward. The smell of blood and puke is heavy in the air. I move forward until I'm in front of her. I can't tell if she can see me or not, but the eye that isn't swollen shut stares in my direction.
"Late." she says, smilin' a little. She's dyin' and wants to be a smart ass.
I move forward and tilt her chin up a little. "I'm sorry."
"Down?"
I untie the ropes from her arms, catchin' her as she falls, not givin' a fuck about the blood pourin out on me. I sit with her in my arms, gently rockin' back and forth. "Don't die on me." I order.
"Stubborn." she smiles.
"Yeah, you're stubborn alright. Is Okami healing you?"
"Help."
"He needs help?"
She nods a little.
"Ok. We'll get it figured out."
"Hungry."
"Wolf, your guts are hangin' out on display. No offence but I never wanted to see your insides. That's too personal."
"Wimp."
I kiss her forehead gently. She winces. "Wolf, Shunsui sent a message for Orihime and Ichigo to come. He knew you'd be in bad shape. Just hold on for me."
"Can't die."
"I know you can't. Don't even think about it."
"Love....you." she sighs before her eye closes.
"Wolf? Hey! Don't you fuckin' die!"
When I get no answer, I automatically check for a pulse...There's no pulse! I hold her tighter against my body. "Wolf, don't you dare leave me. You told me you can't die. Don't make yourself a liar."
"Captain Zaraki, Captain Kotetsu is here." someone says beside me.
"Get her in here." I order.
*************
"She's....I don't know what she is but her heart is stopped and has been for awhile now, Kenpachi. However...she's healing." Isane says after forty minutes. Sweat pours from her brow. She's strugglin'.
"She will survive, alpha. This is the worst I've ever seen her and I'm not quite sure I can heal her completely but...I can make her live." Okami says as he appears beside me. "The human girl would be best for fixing her spine. Everything else I can heal."
"Did she try to fight?" I ask quietly.
"He drugged her. Someone is helping him."
I nod. "Figures. Coward like him never deserved to be captain of the eleventh."
The wolf chuckles. "No, he didn't. It was pure dumb luck. He challenged the fourth to fight while they were drunk. The fourth stumbled and landed face first on Mori's sword. It was five years after this that Harmona was put in his care."
"I still don't understand why. I can think of other people that could've trained her to be a ruthless killer without fuckin' her up like she is."
"Yamamoto was forced. She killed Mori's wife."
"How!?" Isane asks.
"The wife took her to a river while Mori and Unohana were speaking. Nobody saw what happened and Harmona doesn't remember but...she had her first change into a wolf. She panicked as only a one year old child can and accidentally killed the woman. I've told you before, the wolf isn't her shikai. I've never taught her her shikai because she doesn't need it with that wolf."
"How did she get to be a werewolf with her parents being normal souls?" I ask.
"Well, science isn't my strong point. However, it's my understanding that during her development in her mother's womb, Unohana allowed Mayuri to inject the blood of a werewolf into the baby. That's why Mayuri was in the Nest until Kisuke Urahara made the Department of Research. It's also why Mayuri has a keen interest in her. She was his first test subject for what Nemuri is now."
I think about it and it makes perfect fuckin' sense. He'd known the minute he saw her who she was! That explains how he knew she wasn't fully feral. And how he'd known she was immune to poison! That sneaky fuckin' son of a bitch!
"You should move her now. The infirmary would be good. She needs quiet."
"Are you sure she's going to survive? I mean this long with no pulse she'd have brain damage and who knows what else." Isane says.
"She will be fine. Do as I say, little woman." Okami snarls.
I smirk and get to my feet, liftin' Harmona with me. "Isane, I need somethin' to cover her with. I think Shunsui will freak out if he sees the extent of the damage."
Isane nods. "I'm a medic and it's freaking me out.However....here, just use my haori. I don't mind." she says, shruggin' it off before layin' it over Harmona's body. "Should I cover her face too?"
"No. We don't wanna freak him out too much."
I think freakin' out is a fuckin' understatement. That man goes to pieces when I carry her out. Of course, inside, I'm goin' to pieces too. The only thing keepin' me sane is Okami. If she was dead, he wouldn't be here. However, that goddamn demon didn't do what he agreed to. Lyin' son of a bitch...
****Harmona POV****
"I've restored her. There should be no lasting effects from this but if there is, I'll keep working. Right now, I really need something to eat though, please." Orihime's gentle voice reaches my ears.
"Wait...Captain, her pulse! It's back!" someone else yells excitedly. A faint beeping fills my ears. Damn it's annoying. Must be in the infirmary.
A feel a hand in mine. A very familiar calloused hand. "Can she hear me, Okami?"
"Considering she's annoyed by that beeping, I'm sure she can." Okami laughs. He came out? Why?
I feel hot breath on my ear. "Since I know you can hear me, Wolf, I'll only say this one time. No divorce. Ever. You're my woman and nothin' you do will change that. I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you last night."
I can't get my body to respond. I'm exhausted. I know I can do it but I just can't get my body to do what I need it to. I do manage to squeeze his hand a little, a gesture that I hope he understands as agreement. I wouldn't allow him to divorce me anyway. I'm addicted to the joy he brings me and, of course, the pleasure too. I love him. Leaving him or him leaving me isn't an option. I'll kill us both first...
****Kenpachi POV****
I feel her hand move a little. I wouldn't call it a squeeze but I think she's tryin'. "Well, her hand moves."
"Oh good! That's a good sign!" Isane says, lettin' out a relieved sigh. "I'll let Captain Kyorakou know she's back. I'm worried about him. Orihime, come with me to the cafeteria and we'll get you something to eat."
The girls leave and Okami yawns before curlin' himself up in a corner. "She will wake. Give her time, alpha. She's fallen asleep just now so speaking to her would be useless."
I kiss her forehead. The wounds have disappeared and she's back to how she was before. Okami, I know, is still healin' the injuries inside. I wonder if she'll be blind. Orihime had healed her eyes and said she shouldn't be but there's always a chance. I don't want her to be blind. That would fuck her up. She relies on her eyes so much lately. Course, with the twins, she has to...
"Let him sleep, Isane. In fact, I don't want her left alone since Mori wasn't captured. Same with the kids."
"She's healing wonderfully. Okami really is pretty handy."
I crack my eye open. "Can you two birds be any more annoyin'?"
"Oh, sorry. We were trying to be quiet. Would you like something to eat, Kenpachi? I'd be happy to bring you something. Yumichika and Hanataro are keeping the twins occupied in the play room so don't worry about them." Isane says, leanin' down and brushin' my hair outta my face.
"Will you stop it? Damn, you're like a mother hen, woman." I grumble. In all honesty, I just don't like any woman touchin' me anymore. Only Harmona's touch feels right on my skin. I sit up and yawn. I've got a kink in my back from leanin' over the bed for who knows how long. "Yeah, some grub would be great. Thanks."
She nods and hurries off. Shunsui sits in a chair on the other side of the bed. I notice Okami is gone. Wonder where he went. Shunsui takes her hand and rubs it between his gently. He's not payin' me a bit of mind when he starts singin' to her. I can see the worry on his face, the look in his eye speaking of a long known ritual between the two of them. I suppose it must be. Damn that Mori.
****Harmona POV****
I hear Shunsui singing a familiar song. One so familiar it brings a tear to my eye. I open my eyes and immediately start sobbing. Zaraki, and I know it's him because of the smell, pulls me into his arms. "You're ok."
"I know I'm ok!" I yell angrily.
"Then why are you cryin'? And stop yellin'."
"I can see. I was so scared once he blinded me that I'd never see again. I'd never see our kids grow up or see your grouchy face or that stupid grin of yours that makes me happy."
"Aww, Harmona, honey. Don't cry. You're not blind and you can see all that, especially his ugly mug, whenever you want." Shunsui laughs.
"Shut up! He's not ugly. He's the most handsome man I've ever seen!" I yell.
"Stop yellin'!" Zaraki growls. I kiss him, my mind still not quite registering the fact that I'm not dreaming. He pulls away after a moment and looks me in the eyes. "Wiggle your toes for me."
I give him a puzzled look then remember my spine was damaged. I look at my feet. "I'm a little scared. What if they don't work?"
"Won't know until you try." Shunsui says gently.
I decide to forget wiggling my toes. Instead I shift myself to the edge of the bed. Zaraki watches me. I hear Shunsui make a noise of protest but I refuse to listen. I set my feet on the floor. "Well, I can feel it's cold. Maybe that's a good sign." I sigh in relief. I take the plunge and stand. They feel a little weak but my legs support me. I take a shaky step forward, then another. I manage to get to the door before they try to give out and, as usual, Zaraki is there to catch me.
"Ok, so they'll need some work. I suppose that's natural." Shunsui says, sounding relieved.
"I'm starving. Might be another problem." I mumble, burying my nose in Zaraki's chest.
"We'll get you fed. Don't worry."
"Where are the twins?"
"Yumichika has them in the play room here. Don't worry."
I nod. "Can we go home now?"
Isane walks in and sets food on a tray. "Kindly put her down, please. As for going home, that should be alright once I see that you can hold down food. That wound was terrible."
"You seem relaxed." I say, not really trusting her.
"Okami and Orihime healed you. I trust them."
Zaraki sits me back on the bed. "Eat, Wolf. Then we can take the kids home."
I glance at the plate and there's more than I can possibly eat. I notice two sets of chopsticks. "You eat too. Isane, how did you know I was awake?"
"Okami came and told me. He's a very handy zanpakutou spirit." she laughs.
"Yeah, he is." Isane leaves and I knock the chopsticks from Zaraki's hand.
"The hell?" he growls.
"She just told me a fucking lie. That's not Isane. Go get the kids. Now!"
He's gone in a flash, leaving me with Shunsui. He sends a hell moth to sound the alarm. "Good catch, Harmona."
***Kenpachi POV***
"Oh, hello, Captain! How's Wolf?" Yumichika asks brightly when I walk in the damn playground.
"Fine but we got a problem. Come on." I say, pickin' Michiko up. Yumichika's face falls into a serious one and he grabs Takeshi. I lead them back to her room and the kids go ballistic, lettin' out happy screams and reachin' for her. Once they're in her arms, I march into the hall and stand guard.
How in the fuck can someone mimic someone else's form...unless...no. Aizen sure as fuck can't be out of the Muken. Can he? Or is this another fuckin' trick? And why now?
