***Harmona - Dream***
I watch Zaraki with his two flunkies, growling softly any time they look my way. It's been ten months since he brought me to the Seireitei and I'm slowly learning to trust him. However, I hate everyone else. They're all idiots. They try to pet me, I bite them. They try to talk to me and I chase them away. Zaraki thinks it's funny but I'm not doing it for laughs. People annoy me.
"Happy birthday, Captain!" the men yell, bringing a huge brown cake slathered in more brown stuff from the mess hall to where he is sitting on the office porch. Yuck. It looks like mud. As they gather I remain under the cherry tree but turn my back on them. I'm used to not being accepted so why act like I want to be. I listen to the festivities irritably.
Suddenly Zaraki sits in front of my nose, holding out something orange in his hand. I sniff it before turning my head. I've never eaten this before and not really willing to try either. Zaraki chuckles and, before I have time to react, he pries my jaws open and shoves the thing in. It's a little slimy but very sweet. I decide to humor him and chew it before swallowing and laying my head back on my legs. He holds another piece out. "Come on. Your belly is growlin'."
I eye him before gently taking the piece of fruit and eating it. This pattern continues for a few minutes until he runs out of this....whatever it is. "Sorry. No more mango." he chuckles. I bite his hand before getting up and retreating away from him, heading straight for the porch of his house. I climb under it, laying back far enough that nobody can reach me should they try...
I sneak into Zaraki's house. Baldy left the door open when the doctor lady came. "He's got this virus. He's running a high fever and he's in a coma right now. Here, give him two of these every six hours. They're fever meds."
"But how's he s'posed to take them?"
"Oh, they melt on the tongue. Don't worry. Just keep him naked and bundled up in the blankets. I'll come check on him tomorrow morning."
"Thanks...damn, that means I gotta take care of his pet out there. That's gunna suck."
"Why's that?"
"That brute only trusts Zaraki. Won't let anyone else near him."
"Well, just leave him food and water. He'll be ok, I'm sure."
"Yeah, probably."
I hide myself as they get ready to come out of the bedroom. Once they're gone, I go into Zaraki's room. He smells weak and sick right now. I sniff along his chest until finally getting to his neck. My mouth opens, something inside me telling me to kill him while he's down but...I can't. That would be cowardly. I sigh and hop in bed with him, curling up between his legs with my body on his. Perhaps my body heat will help balance him out. Since he's in a coma, I don't suppose it will hurt to...well, nevermind. If I fall asleep and someone sneaks in, my secret will be out...
His skin on mine as he sleeps is making me hot. I want him but he wouldn't want me. He hasn't said anything in the three weeks I've been out of my wolf form. Sure, he lays with me and holds me and his penis stays hard but...that doesn't mean anything. I roll to face him and bury my face in his neck, smiling as he lets out a small snore in his sleep. For some reason, I trust him, instinct telling me to. His arms crush me to his chest suddenly and he mumbles. "Mine."
****Awake****
My eyes open as Zaraki grumbles in his sleep and crushes me to his side. I smile a little and kiss his chest. Only when I'm startled by a smack to my back to I realize Takeshi has snuck into bed with us. He smiles at me when I glance over my shoulder at him before he lowers himself off the end of the bed and toddles back to the nursery. He's been cuddly the past couple weeks. I'm not quite sure why but I don't mind it.
I land on my back as Zaraki rolls over and puts his hand on my belly. "Go test." he orders before kissing me.
"Kenpachi, will you stop? I'm not getting sick in the mornings like I did with the twins so I'm not pregnant." I sigh.
"Isane said that can happen. Go test for me." he grumbles before kissing my cheek and neck.
"I'm not going anywhere if you don't stop, sir." I laugh.
"Dada!" Michiko screams before running through the door and climbing in bed with us. She wedges herself between Zaraki and myself and grabs his arm, holding it captive.
"I think she likes you." I laugh.
Zaraki lifts his arm, Michiko included as she has a death grip on it. "You think?"
I sigh and climb over him, heading for the bathroom. I really don't want to test. I already know it's negative. However, I pee on the strip Kotetsu gave me anyway and wait. As I wait I stare at myself in the mirror over the sink. I look terrible. Dark circles under my eyes giving me the look of a zombie, skin more pale than usual. It's been getting worse the past six weeks after killing Mori. The nightmares are back in full swing, though my demon isn't to blame for once. It's all my mind sinking in that my parents died and it's my fault for not being here. I know it's silly but...my heart hurts so much, knowing I was so close to my father without even realizing he was my father.
I glance at the strip and do a double take before smiling. Well, this will put getting the demon out of me off for a few months. I exit the bathroom and find him alone, the kids screeching playfully in their room. He takes one look at my smile and grins. "Duck again, huh?"
"Oh to hell with your duck fantasies, you weirdo!" I growl before pouncing on him and kissing him. "This is all your fault."
"My fault? Tch. You're the one that can't keep these legs closed against me." he groans softly as he cups the back of my thigh, tracing it upwards and causing me to grind against him. "I'm addicted to your body, woman."
I kiss him gently. "I love you so much, Kenpachi."
"Hey...what's wrong?"
"Hmm?"
"Woman, the past six weeks you've been in a damn daze. Your eyes are lifeless."
"I...I just wish the past was different, that's all. I miss them both. Terribly." I sigh.
He wraps his arms around me and pulls me down onto his chest. "I never had parents so I can't say I know how you feel. However, you know you can talk to me. Even if it's weakling, mushy, sappy shit, I'll still listen."
Just for that, I pinch him really hard on his side. This leads us into a wrestling match, which the twins join, thus creating a huge pile of bodies tangled up on the bed. I smell Ikkaku at some point and I'm quite sure I hear the squeak of his finger as he scratches his bald head in confusion.
****Kenpachi POV****
I watch the twins chasin' the men. They're playin' pretty good lately. I think maybe in the next year it'll be time to start trainin' them. Harmona is sleepin', again. I don't understand how she can sleep so damn much and still be tired. Isane says it's depression. I think it's that and the pregnancy. She has yet to go see Isane and it's been two weeks since she tested. I rub her belly, since we're in the hammock and she's layin' between my legs, layin' back on my chest. She's already startin' to show a little.
"What is it with you and my belly?" she asks quietly.
"I like it."
"Sorry for nodding off again. I'm just exhausted."
"You need to go see Isane and get a check up."
"Don't wanna."
"Wolf, the baby needs looked at too."
She sighs. "I don't know if I can make it that far. Just walking from the bedroom to the hammock was exhausting."
I frown. "That ain't normal."
"Thank you, Captain Obvious."
"On your feet, woman. I'll go with you."
She groans irritably. "Why are you so worried!?"
"Because you ain't actin' right. You can barely stay awake long enough to eat anymore even. Let's go. On your feet."
She finally rolls out of the hammock and starts walkin'. I follow her to the stairs when she suddenly goes down like a sack of potatoes. I flip her over on her back and check her pulse. It's fast and erractic. What in the hell is goin' on? I lift her in my arms and head for the infirmary. Somethin' is very wrong with her.
*************
I watch Isane do the picture thing she did before with the twins. "Well? What the hell is wrong with her?"
"To put it simply, she's exhausted for good reason. She's not eating enough, her iron levels are super low right now and, to put the icing on the cake, she's pregnant."
"She took a test two weeks ago, so I already-"
"Two weeks? And you didn't think to make her come in? Are you stupid?"
I smirk. "Gettin' mouthy huh?"
She blushes. "Sorry. I've been feeling a little off lately too."
I watch the screen as she moves the wand around. "Well?"
"Nine weeks roughly and...oh shit. Kenpachi, you two really need to quit having sex. Seriously. She's extremely fertile obviously!"
"I figured that but-"
"Three, Kenpachi! There's three!"
"I ain't worried about how many. I'm worried about if they're healthy and why she passed out like that."
"They look normal for nine weeks. How is her appetite?"
"She's not eatin' much. She's barely able to stay awake to eat."
Isane nods and cleans Harmona off before goin' to the cabinets and bringin' me two big bottles of pills. "Vitamins. Two pills, twice a day. They're chewy and taste like fruit. If she doesn't start getting more energy in the next week, she's to come back here and I'm going to keep her here for monitoring. That's final."
I nod. "Fair enough. What about her heart rate?"
"She's dehydrated. That's why I put an IV in. Has she not been drinking either?"
"I wasn't kiddin' when I said she sleeps all the time. Hell, I'm lucky to get her awake for an hour total each day."
"That's not good. Try the vitamins. If that doesn't work then for her own good I need to keep her for a few days to do some tests. For now, just take her home and keep an eye on her. Try to get her awake to eat."
"Pachi, don't go. I don't wanna be alone..." Harmona mumbles.
"Does she always talk in her sleep?" Isane asks.
"Not always. She used to do it a lot more than she does now."
"I see. How's her moods?"
"She told me she's depressed. She feels like her mom and biological dad's deaths are her fault because she wasn't here to help. I keep tellin' her nothin' would've changed even if she'd been here."
"Try to distract her. Find her a hobby or something."
"Her hobby is the same as mine. She likes fightin'."
"Well, not in her condition. Same as before, she can exercise but no sparring."
"I'll figure somethin' out."
****Harmona POV****
I chew the two vitamins and yawn. I'm feeling a little better today than I did yesterday but Zaraki is really starting to worry me. He doesn't even leave me alone to pee anymore after yesterday. He told me Kotetsu said two of these pills twice a day. "I think I'm ready to try to eat." I sigh.
"Good. It's lunch time anyway." Zaraki says, seeming relieved.
"Kenpachi...what's wrong? You've been really weird since yesterday."
"Just worried about you."
"Why won't you tell me what else she said? I know you told her I'm pregnant and she confirmed it most likely."
"She told me to find you a hobby to distract you when you're depressed."
"That's not all. You've been hovering like a hen. What else?"
"Nothin'."
"You stink."
"She said they look good." he shrugs.
"They? So I'm having twins again?"
"No."
"You said they. That means more than one, right?"
He holds up three fingers. I stare at him for a minute. "We'll need another bedroom."
"You think? We could always convert the attic, I guess."
"Attic? We have an attic?"
"Yeah."
I wrinkle my nose. "It's probably covered in spiders and shit."
"Yep, lots of icky nasty bugs." He agrees, teasing me by tickling my arm and making me shiver. "Don't worry, I won't put any on you."
"If you do so help me I will kill you." I growl.
"Why do you hate bugs so damn much?"
I frown, not really wanting to answer before deciding I need to get it out of my head. Renji was right. I need to stop carrying this burden on my own. "When I was two, Mori threw me in an old broom closet in the squad ten barracks. There was all sorts of spiders. Most of them venomous. I was bitten five times before someone heard my screaming and let me out of there....I've been afraid of bugs ever since."
He frowns. "I see. Well, don't worry. I won't make you go help with renovations. In fact, I was thinkin' of sending you on holiday for a couple weeks so you won't be around all the dust and shit that'll get kicked up."
"Holiday to where?"
"Figured you could stay with Kisuke again or maybe Orihime."
"I don't wanna-"
He grabs my cheeks and forces me to lock eyes with him. "Harmona, enough. Nothin' is gunna happen to you again. Mori is dead. You're a strong woman and I know you can take care of yourself. You don't need to be by my side every second of every day."
My temper flares. "Don't call me that!" I snap before jerking my head away, grabbing my plate and going outside. I don't want to leave his side because that's the only place I feel safe. Everywhere else isn't safe. It's also not home to me. He's the one being clingy today. I eat the beef strips in my stir fry first, craving the meat. That's all I've craved for weeks now is meat. Zaraki told me my iron levels were low so probably just that. It's making me a little nervous, really. I won't admit it to Zaraki but lately, all I've felt is blood lust. I need to kill something...I'll sneak out later and go hunting.
Zaraki comes and sits beside me on the porch. "What's your problem?"
"I don't want to go because I don't like sleeping alone in a strange bed that doesn't smell like you, alright? Why can't I go stay with Shunsui? At least then I can still smell you around the city and see you."
"You need a fuckin' vacation, numb skull."
"No, I don't. I don't want one either."
"Why the hell not?"
"Please, don't send me away. It bothers me, alright?"
"Why?"
"I just...you know what? Nevermind. If you want me to go, fine." I sigh, trying to hold back the bad feeling in my gut...
After Zaraki gets the twins in bed and asleep, using yet another bloody tale of his exploits no doubt, he comes back to our room. Before I can make a peep, he pounces on me, kissing me roughly. When he surfaces for air, he grabs my head again. "What the hell is your problem with goin' on vacation, woman?"
"I don't like being without you. I feel safe with you." I sigh. "If you want me to go, I'll go."
He eyes me critically. "What else?"
"Noth-"
"What else, damn it?"
"I'm afraid you'll replace me, alright? Now that I've killed Mori, I don't have any goal in my life, therefore I'm as useless as a paperweight in the ocean."
"Replace you? With what? Some fuckin' whore outta the Rukongai? One of the tiny little mice runnin' around here that can't handle my reiatsu? A slutty broad that just wants a notch in the bedpost?" he snarls. "Do you know how many woman have tried to catch my attention over the years? Too many to count. Do you know how many I actually wanted? One. You, you damn idiot. You're the strongest damn woman I've ever met, aside from your mom. I wasn't a notch in your damn bedpost. You married me, birthed kids for me and now have three more of my demon spawn in your belly. I don't want anyone else."
"But-"
"Shut the hell up, woman. You're pissin' me off." he snaps before rolling with his back to me. I wait until he finally settles in to sleep before sneaking out. He never sleeps with his back to me so I've really pissed him off. I decide now is the time to go take care of the blood lust I'm feeling. My demon laughs. He'll have fun too.
****Kenpachi POV****
She's gone when I wake up to take a piss. She better be walkin' it off. I know I was a little harsh with her earlier but damnit, I don't know what I need to do to prove to that fuckin' moron that I don't want another woman. I decide to check on the kids, since I'm up anyway. They're sleepin' pretty good, though Takeshi's foot twitches a little. Must be dreamin' The kid reminds me of a dog doin' that. Harmona does it in her sleep sometimes. Speakin' of...I'm beginnin' to get worried. Accordin' to the clock, it's two in the mornin'. She shouldn't be out there right now.
****Harmona POV****
"You shouldn't be out here, Mrs. Zaraki." Princess Kuchiki whispers from behind me.
I glare at him over my shoulder then go back to watching the heard of deer in front of me. Kuchiki doesn't leave, though he uses shunpo to climb the tree beside me, perching himself on the limb above me. I finally pick one, an older doe with a limp. Time to take her down. I hunker down, waiting for her to get a little closer. I don't know why Byakuya is out here, considering the time, but I'm not going to worry about it. Maybe he has his own trouble sleeping.
I spring from my hiding spot, giving chase to the doe. She manages to run about two hundred yards before I overtake her, pouncing on her back and breaking it with a bite. I don't leave her suffering long, choosing to break her neck with another bite.
"Why?" Kuchiki asks, seeming perplexed.
I ignore him for a moment as I start gutting the deer, blood flying.
"Does your husband not see you fed?" he asks after I decimate the corpse.
I shift, ignoring the blood on my face as I face him. "Blood lust. Us animals get it sometimes. Why are you even here? You hate me so why spend time here and in the middle of the night?"
He shifts on his feet. "I tend to stay up on nights when I feel as though there will be a problem."
I smirk. "You get nightmares too, huh?"
He doesn't answer, instead asking his own. "Why do you kill so easily?"
"Killing satisfies my need for violence. I don't enjoy it but it's either that or kill more people when I lose control of my demon. I'm not exactly normal."
"I see."
I raise my eyebrow. "So, why follow me?"
"To see what devilry you were up to. I'm glad to be wrong for once, though your need for violence is off setting to me. Someone as beautiful as you shouldn't be so barbaric."
I laugh. "Yeah, I get that a lot. But, as Yamamoto told me once, a sword is both beautiful and deadly, beauty has nothing to do with barbarism...course I nearly killed him leading to him saying that." I shrug.
He steps closer and holds a handkerchief out to me. "You're covered in blood. While I know your husband wouldn't mind, I do."
I sigh and clean my face to make him happy. He shakes his head when I try to hand it back. "Thanks...so, now what will you do?"
"You're a berserker, aren't you?
I tilt my head. "What gives you that idea?"
"Blood lust is usually attributed to them. Even your husband has never seemed to have it, though many people would claim he does. I've seen his fights, so I know it's not that. You, however...I've seen your spars with Renji. When blood is drawn, either from you or him, your face changes. It's a predatory look, almost evil."
"I ask you again, what are you going to do now?"
He steps closer to me and I step back, my senses telling me to get away from him. This stops him. "A berserker who's afraid of people. Interesting. Seeing this fear in you, I will do nothing. Had you stood your ground, I would have killed you and dragged your carcass back to the Seireitei for burial since you are a threat. I assume you sensed my intent?"
"I guess you can call it that. However...killing me is no simple task. Read my file sometime. I should get home. I'm sure my husband will be on the hunt for me if he wakes and I'm not home."
"I'll walk with you, if you don't min-"
Panic. I feel it. Something is wrong with him. He's never this nice to me. I shift and run for it, knowing damn good and well he can keep up with me. I've seen him move with shunpo. He's faster though not by much. However, he doesn't follow me.
***Kenpachi POV***
Harmona runs into the barracks like her tail is on fire. The hell is wrong? She bypasses the house and goes to her tree. I get up from the hammock and head that way. By the time I get there she's layin' down, tucked into a tight ball, hyperventilatin'. I don't wanna scare her so I sit next to her and hope she'll calm down.
It takes awhile but finally she relaxes a little and lays her head in my lap. I pull her ear gently. "Come on. Too early for this shit." She shifts and crawls into my lap, layin' her head on my chest. "What happened?"
"I went hunting. I was mad from earlier and just needed to be violent and you won't let me spar so decided that was the next best thing. Princess Kuchiki followed me out there and spoke to me a little afterwards and...something about him triggered me to panic. He was being too nice to me."
"Want me to kick his ass?"
"No. Just....hold me. Please."
"It's a little chilly out here. Let's go home."
I don't give her time to move, instead just roll to my feet and bring her with me. When I get inside the house, I strip her down and put her under the blanket before gettin' naked too. I join her under the blanket and she snuggles up against me. I rub her belly, givin' her time to settle down.
"Kenpachi....Kuchiki knows."
"Knows what?"
"That I'm a berserker. He threatened to kill me until he noticed I was afraid of him."
My hand stops and my temper spikes. "That son of a bitch. I'll deal with him tomorrow. From now on, when you need to go deal with your anger, you take me or Ikkaku."
"But I feel safest with Yumichika when I'm not with you."
"He doesn't have a bankai."
"You knew?"
"Course I knew. I just pretend I don't cause when he finally shows me, it'll be a good battle. Same if you ever show me that damn monster Renji saw."
"Never."
"Sissy."
My hand starts movin' again, rubbin' between her hips. She slowly melts, the tension drainin' from her muscles as she calms down. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier."
"You know I'd never cheat on you so quit lettin' that rat inside you try to fuck up your head."
"I know you wouldn't. I honestly don't even know why I said it."
"I love you. Now sleep. I'm sendin' Yumichika with you to Kisuke's at the end of the week. I'll get the attic fixed up to a zoo for the munchkins as quick as I can."
She nods. "Alright."
I kiss her and shift my body closer to her. "Sleep, Wolf. You're safe. I wont let the princess or any spiders get you."
She smacks my thigh with a laugh before finally closin' her eyes. I keep rubbin' until sleep takes over. I don't want to send her at all but I can't have her here tryin' to help and I know damn good and well there's spiders up there.
