"We've found Captain Kotetsu. She's been drugged with something but appears to be alright. It happened in the hall on her way back here." Hanatarou says nervously.
"Has there been a lot of foot traffic in the hall?" I ask.
"No, just her and the two medics that found her. The Stealth Force hasn't arrived yet."
I get out of bed. "Don't need them. I'll tell you who did this. I don't think it was Mori. He doesn't have the ability to make himself look like other people."
"Harmona, lay down. You just came back from the brink of death." Shunsui orders quietly.
"I'm going to go take a sniff. You can come with me, if you like."
"Wolf...do me a damn favor, will ya? Put some fuckin' clothes on!" Zaraki growls from behind me.
I twist myself around and smirk. The hospital robe has come untied and he's getting a nice view of my ass. Shunsui laughs as he hands me my uniform before turning so I can dress. I can't tease Zaraki like I want to but maybe that's not a bad thing. I'm not quite sure he's ready for that. I lift the kids, one in each arm, before making my way out the door. I'm slow about it as my legs are still unsteady. I don't want to drop my cargo. However, as I brush by Zaraki, he steals them from me. "You're makin' me nervous."
"Worry wart." I stick my tongue out at him before turning back down the hall. Hanatarou follows me for a moment before pointing down a different hall to the right. I turn and head that way, sniffing as I go. I circle the spot once I find it. "Tch. You sorry, pedophile son of a bitch. That's why you want my kids." I grumble.
"What?"
"The fiance Mori arranged for me when I was ten. This is him. Yoshirio Kotaku."
"Did his sword have that ability?" Shunsui asks.
"I don't know. I never saw him use his shikai. I highly doubt he had a bankai."
"It'll be in his record."
I nod. "Yeah, I'd say so. That's Mori's helper. That's who drugged me."
"Now that you know for sure, what do you plan to do?" Zaraki asks.
I smirk. "What wolves always do. Hunt and kill."
"Harmona, you can't!" Shunsui snaps.
"Why?"
"Because I can't-"
I put my finger against his lips. "Trust me, Dad. He's a coward. Worse than Mori. He came in one time during Mori's torture and got sick. He refused to come back. I've never been afraid of him so I won't freeze up."
"Are you sure?"
"My children's safety is at stake. I'm positive. However, I'm starving right now so I'm going back home to eat. Kenpachi, come with me. Dad, I'm trusting you with the kids. It won't take me long to find him. He's the only man I know who drinks his particular brand of sake and he always reeks of it. I'll have him dead by the end of today." I say before turning on my heel and heading out of the infirmary. I have a purpose now. One that has my demon excited for the coming bloodbath.
***Kenpachi POV***
I've never seen this amount of determination from her. It's strange. A year ago, when she came outta her wolf, I never woulda believed she'd ever look like this. In a way, it's unnerving. "I'm comin' with you. So if they arrest you, they know you're under orders."
"No. He'll know he's being hunted if he sees you. Send Ikkaku with me."
"You and Ikkaku haven't been gettin' along lately."
"He's mad at me. For the kids. He thinks us having kids is bad because it's distracting you from being...you."
"Tch. Figured it was somethin' stupid. You sure you trust him?"
"Ikkaku wouldn't do anything to piss you off at him. He respects you too much. And we're hardly ever together without Yumichika. It'll throw the bastard off."
I nod. "Alright. I trust ya. Don't go too crazy."
She raises an eyebrow. "Me? Crazy? I think you have me confused with someone else."
I watch her as she finishes eatin'. "No, you're the crazy woman I married and spawned with. There's no damn confusion there."
She smirks and kisses me. "Of course not. I'll be back when it's over."
My eye follows her as she leaves the house. She's got this. No doubt in my mind.
***Harmona POV***
I watch the man twenty feet in front of me, following him through the crowded streets of the market district. He stops to eye a couple small children, younger than Ichika but older than my twins. I lift my lip in disgust. Should he move toward them, I won't hold back. Ikkaku is on the roof tops above me, so he won't be in the way. I get a little closer to them.
"Would you like to see something? I bet your parents won't mind." He says to the girl. She looks afraid.
My reiatsu flares wildly as I take my wolf form. He bolts and I take off after him. People move out of the way in a hurry, warned off by my very furious snarling. I let him get out of the marker district before lunging and knocking his legs out from under him.
"Don't kill me! I beg you! I wanted nothing to do with your torture!" He screams in fear. Fucking rabbit.
I stand over him for a mere second before ripping his throat out. I spit the flesh out quickly. His taste is just as disgusting as he is. This was too easy. I know I should have tortured him a little more but I wanted it done quickly.
"Halt. You stay right there, wife of Zaraki. You are under arrest." Princess Kuchiki's voice says behind me.
"Captain Kuchiki, shes under orders from Captain Zaraki. This man hurt Captain Kotetsu this morning." Ikkaku says, hopping down beside me. I shift and fold my arms over my chest.
"I fail to see how she could identify him on her own."
"Same way I can identify you. Every person has a unique scent. You, for instance, smell like sakura blossoms, sandalwood and incense. Zaraki smells like blood, oak and steel. I am more wolf than person, if you remember." I growl.
"That would never hold up in front of central forty six."
"Ask our head captain. He witnessed the order to seek and destroy. I'm going to his office now to collect my twins." I say before turning on my heel and heading out. Ikkaku follows, surprisingly.
"You didnt fuck him up as bad as I figured you would." He says quietly.
"Other than him being a pedophile, I have no reason to hate him. No need to destroy a corpse with no reason. Mori, however, will suffer a lot more."
"You sure? You've been afraid of him until now."
"I have a plan now."
"Run it by me."
"No. Because then you will point out its flaws and I'll get depressed again. It'll work as long as I believe in myself ."
He nods. "You better make sure it works. You didn't see him when they brought you back. Or when the torture was going on. It was not only pathetic but he tried so damn hard to hide it. He was worried."
"I was drugged. Not like I wanted it to happen."
"I think, deep down, you did."
I stop in my tracks, causing Princess Kuchiki to bump into me. "Why?"
"Because you think you deserve it. That you're not worth the life you have. I think, deep down, you wanted to die because you think you're alone, no matter who tells you any different. You don't trust anyone's words, not even Captain Zaraki's. You think you're not worthy of the love of friendship you've been shown."
"I-"
"Convince me I'm wrong, Wolf. Lie to my face and tell me that's not what happened."
I take a deep breath before sighing. "I can't."
Ikkaku turns and begins walking again, leaving me and Kuchiki to follow. My deal with Mayuri will be the only way to deal with him. Once he's dead, things will get better. They have to.
****Kenpachi POV****
"She did it in broad daylight!"
"No! Not our wolf."
"How many blue wolves do you see running around, numb skull!"
"She had a good reason, probably. She never kills without a reason."
"Yeah, but still. And from what I hear Lieutenant Madarame and Captain Kuchiki are with her right now. This is bad."
"Captain...we have a problem, sir." Yumichika says softly. I look up from where I'm sittin' drinkin' sake.
"What?"
"Wolf. She killed a man."
"I ordered her to. She'll be fine. Ikkaku went with her as a witness to my order. Just in case somethin' like this happened. She'll be fine."
"It doesn't matter how many times you say that she'll be fine, sir."
"Shunsui ordered it too. She'll be fine."
"Now you're just doing that to annoy me."
"Maybe. How'd trainin' go?"
"Oh, one got hurt and sent to the infirmary. The other twelve are fine, though they did panic at first. It was sort of boring, really."
I smirk. Prissy man may act like he's better than us but he's just like us. "Come drink with me. I'm bored."
He smirks and sashays over, ploppin' down in the chair across from my desk. "Thank you, sir."
"Quit worryin'. She's fine."
****Harmona POV****
"Thank you, Lieutenant Madarame and Captain Kuchiki. Yes, she was under orders from both her captain and myself. That man injured squad four captain Kotetsu this morning and tried to drug her and Zaraki both. As you know, she's the best tracker we've got in the Gotei Thirteen so I gave a seek and destroy order." Shunsui says.
"Very well. I shall take my leave then." Kuchiki says before bowing out. Ikkaku, however, stays with me.
"Harmona, are you ok mentally?" Shunsui asks quietly.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Like I told Baldy here earlier, I had no reason to be afraid of Kotaku. That's why I didn't go hay wire with the killing." I shrug.
"Alright. Twins are sleeping right now. I'll bring them home later, ok?"
I smile. "Thanks. I appreciate you not waking them. They're difficult when they have their nap interrupted."
"No problem. They're my grandkids so I'm happy to spend time with them."
"I'm headed home then. Probably to take a nap. I'm still pretty tired."
"Sounds like a plan. See you later, kiddo."
I turn and Ikkaku follows me silently. He's like a shadow today. It's really out of character for him. "Wolf?"
"Yeah?"
"You need to get your head on straight. You being afraid of him makes you weak and therefore weakens Zaraki by having to worry about you all the time."
"I know. I'm...working on it. It won't be much longer, I don't think."
"Hurry it up. There's no place for weak cowards in out squad."
I nod. "I got it."
"Good."
We walk silently the rest of the way home. Apparently, my killing earlier has reached every corner of the Seireitei, judging by the stares I receive and the hushed voices. Good. What's not good is the smell of fear. If someone runs, I'm going to have to chase.
***Kenpachi POV***
Yumichika is jabberin' about random shit again, as usual. Askin' him to drink with me was a fuckin' mistake. He's doin' more drinkin' than talkin'. "Feather head! You're too damn-"
I'm tackled from behind. That goddamn woman is gunna get her ass beat for it one of these days. I land on my back and she sits on my belly. However, seein' the smile on her face, it calms me down a bit. "Done?"
"He's dead. I didn't torture him like I should have but I never hated him like Mori. He didn't scare me like Mori does."
"And Kuchiki?"
"Happened to witness it. Shunsui stuck up for me too so hopefully nothing will happen, as I was under orders." she shrugs.
"And Ikkaku?"
"He stayed with me. I think we made nice again. Sort of."
"Good. Figured you'd bring the kids home with you."
"Shunsui said they were sleeping so he'd bring them by later."
I nod. "Naptime?"
She smirks. "Sure. Naptime." She says it in a way I know damn good and well we won't be takin' a nap...
She lays beside me, a satisfied smile on her face as she kisses the palm of my hand. "I love you."
"Sleep, Wolf. You'll need it before the kids come home. And you should be proud. You wore my ass out too."
"You know you could say it. I won't tell anyone."
"Love you too. Now sleep."
I listen as her breathin' slowly changes into deep, steady breaths. I always try to wait on her to go to sleep before I go, for the simple fact that I know she's relaxed. She took care of one problem. Now, wonder how long it'll be before she takes care of Mori. I ain't gunna hold my breath. She'll never do it. I know her too well. She's too afraid of him still. Even more so now, I'll bet. I'll have to kill him. It'll be too easy and I'll be bored but he's gotta die.
****Harmona POV****
I'm startled awake by a low moan right in my ear. It'd be one thing if it was a pleasure one but this sounds different. Almost like fear. I roll in his arms, only making him hold me tighter. "No, Wolf. Don't you dare fuckin' die on me!" he yells.
Seeing me like that scared him? I'm positive he's seen worse, probably caused worse too, knowing him. However, I decide to kiss him gently. "I'm safe, Kenpachi. Not dying today."
His eye cracks open and he stares at me in confusion for a moment. "Wolf?"
"Yeah, I'm here. You poor thing."
He wipes his hand over his face. "Your fuckin' nightmares are rubbin' off on me, brat."
"Sorry." I kiss him again.
"You two finally woke up, I see." Shunsui chuckles from the door. I hear my kids' happy squeals and am suddenly pounced on by them. Zaraki buries his head under the blanket. "They ate about half an hour ago. I gave them some mango pieces out of the fridge. We've been here about an hour waiting for you two to wake up."
"Sorry." I laugh.
"Oh, no trouble. You look better than you did earlier. I'll see you two later."
I watch the twins pummel their father for awhile before I join in the fun. Sometimes I really do think that being a kid is more fun...well, for most kids anyway.
****Kenpachi POV****
"Cabbage leaves? Really?" I say, my nose wrinklin'.
"That's what Orihime said will help dry me up. They're a year old, they have teeth, I'm done." Harmona growls.
"Why not keep goin'? With me. I like how you taste."
"You pervert!"
I smirk. "Thanks for the birthday party last night. That was fun."
Now I get a smile. "You're welcome, old man."
I kiss her roughly. "You're older than me."
"Don't look like it though, Captain."
I smack her ass, enjoyin' the pleased moan she gives me. "Hush, woman."
"Oh...uhm, I probably should've mentioned this before now but I'll be gone for a week. Don't worry. I plan to train with Okami but I need a lot of space and no distractions. I should be back by next Friday."
"And the kids?"
"Will be here with you and Yumichika has been ordered to help under pain of me shaving his head and stealing his feathers. You know Swee will help you too. And Renji."
"You're killin' me. Why can't you train here?"
"Because you're here to distract me. I just...need quiet and calm, Okami says. I'll be fine."
I get a feelin' in my gut she's lyin' to me but somethin' tells me to leave it. "Is this the only way you'll get strong enough to kill him?"
"Yes. I promise to come back as soon as I can."
"You better. Or I'll hunt you down and drag you back here by your hair and chain you to the bed."
"Ooooh, sounds kinky." she giggles.
"Don't start."
She kisses me softly. "One week. Then I'll come back. I promise." is all she says before she disappears out the door.
I stare at the twins, who give me accusin' looks. "What? It was her idea."
And, as usual, Takeshi gives me his war cry before pullin' himself up on my hakama and demandin' to be held. Michiko just starts crawlin' off. She's always been more like her mom. Independant little shit, though she does have moments sometimes when she prefers bein' held.
****Harmona POV****
I hate lying to him but this is the only way. I'm a coward and can't face my fear. I have to rely on Mayuri to help me...no matter the cost. As I enter the gate of squad 12, Nemuri greets me. "Hello, Mrs. Zaraki!" she yells, as only a child can do.
"Nemuri. How are you, sweety?" I ask, crouching down to get eye level with her.
"I'm ok. Master Mayuri is inside. He's expecting you. He told me to wait out here and lead you to the lab he's going to be working with you in." she says, her tone a little quieter now.
"Alright. Show me the way." I smile at her, holding my hand out. She seems surprised by the gesture but takes my hand and leads me into the bowels of the research department. It takes us only minutes, though it seems longer due to the dark corridors. When we reach a door, she inputs the code, which I memorize just in case, before guiding me inside.
"Ah, so you did decide to follow through with our agreement. Very good. I promise you one week. I should have all the things I need to study after the week is over." Mayuri says, sneering in a way only he can.
"Just remember, you damage me too bad, Zaraki will slaughter you and destroy your labs." I sigh.
"Duly noted. I have no need to harm you, really. I've been using spy bacteria implanted in your body to study you for the most part. However, that doesn't give me all the answers I need. So, we shall run the tests I asked for. Liquids first, if you please." he says, handing me a cup and turning me to a room off this one. "In you go. Fill it to the line, if you can."
I roll my eyes but decide to follow through with his order. This week won't be fun.
