I watch Kenpachi fighting with Tayashi, knowing full well Tayashi has no chance of winning. Kenpachi's reiatsu makes Tayashi's feel weak, almost like an infant. I can tell Kenpachi is playing, which makes me smile a bit.
"Why do you defend such a useless woman, Captain?" Tayashi yells, stabbing toward Kenpachi's shoulder.
"Because, she's fun." Kenpach growls, parrying the stab.
I take deep, calming breaths. The pains are getting closer together, though not enough to indicate an emergency yet. "Oh, little one. You have terrible timing." I tell my son softly, rubbing my belly gently. I look away as Kenpachi stabs Tayashi in the shoulder, leaving him unable to move his arm.
"Last chance to give up. I don't like killin' weaklings." Kenpachi sighs, turning his back to Tayashi.
Tayashi darts forward and Kenpachi moves just in time. However, that puts my ex-fiancé directly in line with me. I can't move. He brings his sword up and I do the only thing I can. "Bankai! Crash upon the shores, Mizu no yōsei no arekuruu ōkami!" Even I am startled by the appearance of a huge wolf made of water. It has wings, fairy wings to be exact. The buildings around me are melting, it seems, eroded by the extreme heat of the water. The air shimmers around the wolf from the heat.
"What the hell is that!?" Tayashi yells, stopping short.
"That, you stupid idiot, is called a bankai. I have worked hard to obtain it and I am in no mood to deal with you right now! Either run or I will kill you. I have no time for fools like you!" I yell. I wave my sword, the blade now opaque and looking like there's bubbles inside it, causing the wolf to lift it's head. It takes a deep breath and shoots a jet of water at Tayashi, clipping his hakama. Where the water has touched disintegrates, leaving a nasty blister forming on him.
"Noodle! You didn't tell me you got your bankai!" Kenpachi snarls.
"Don't you dare. Not now, Niisama. I will fight you once I...recover from having this impatient boy!" I groan and hold my stomach. "Last chance Tayashi. This is the first time I've ever used my bankai so I don't have good control of it. Next one might hit your stupid face."
Tayashi seems to think better of it. "I'll find you later, you slut. I'll kill you when you least expect it." he says before using shunpo and disappearing. Kenpachi makes to run after him but I grab his arm.
"I'm in trouble." I whimper as my bankai releases. He eyes me critically as I start walking towards home. Once again, we're interrupted as Captain Hitsugaya, Muguruma and Fon descend on us.
"What happened? What was that monster?" Captain Muguruma asks, looking around for my water wolf, I assume.
"Captains, please. I need to get home. Now." I groan, squeezing Kenpachi's arm tightly.
Captain Hitsugaya eyes me. "What's got you cranky?"
"I'm in labor, you pint sized idiot! Move!" I shout, not even caring who I'm talking to.
Kenpachi lifts me once more and the other captains follow as he brings me the rest of the way home. "You owe me a fight with that bankai, kid." he grumbles.
"I promise, as soon as I'm feeling up to it, I will give you a fight. Not to the death though, ok?"
"Fair enough."
****Byakuya POV****
As my squad and I get back to the gates into the Seireitei, I'm met by a member of the Stealth Force. "Captain Kuchiki, you are ordered to return home, sir. There is an emergency that requires your attention." she reports.
"Is anyone injured?" I ask, trying to remain calm.
"No, sir. Your wife...she's in labor. Tayaski Nobiama-"
I do not stay to listen. I use shunpo to return home immediately. It takes mere minutes, though it seems as if time and space stand still as I run. I halt at the gate though, startled by the sight of three captains in my yard. Upon seeing me, they give me a nod each. "We will stand guard while you attend to your wife." Captain Muguruma says before waving me to the door. "Kenpachi's in there, guarding the door to the garden. He carried her here earlier. She's fine. Tougher than she lets on."
I hurry indoors and am met by Kimi, who is holding Sakurako's hand. "She's in your room with Granny and Rina. Doc is taking good care of her."
"Has he been born?" I ask.
"I think you'd better go take a look. He hadn't come when I last checked ten minutes ago but she was close to delivery."
"Mama have baby?" Sakurako asks quietly.
"Yes, mommy is having your baby brother, my little darling. Don't worry. Mommy and Daddy will be ok." Kimi tells her before moving out of my way.
****Nanami POV****
I take a deep breath and push again as a contraction hits. As it lets up, I lay my head back, prompting Granny to wipe my brow with a cool washcloth. "You're doing fine, Nanami." she says gently.
"I wish Byakuya were here. I'm so tired." I whine softly. My wish is granted as the door opens while I push once more.
"Nanami, sweetie, I can see his head. One more push should do it." Doc says, patting my leg gently.
Byakuya swiftly comes to my side and kisses my forehead. "I am sorry for being late. I really must quit leaving your side. You get into trouble when I do such things." he teases gently.
"Indeed, I do. Let this be a lesson to you." I tease back before pushing one last time. The pressure eases but doesn't go away entirely. I hear a loud scream from my son, completely angry at being born, it seems. I have no time to enjoy it as the urge to push again hits me.
"Nanami...you're still having contractions?" Doc asks.
"Yes." I groan and bear down, squeezing Byakuya's hand tightly. "There was only supposed to be one!" I sob, my body being too exhausted to comprehend what's happening. I push one more time and Doc lets out a startled yelp. The pressure is gone finally but I'm hurting terribly. A second cry joins the first, though it's much softer. Other than that, the room is silent for a moment.
"Twins. Nanami, they're twins! This has never happened in the Kuchiki clan! Never!" Granny screeches, though she's smiling. She hugs me tightly. "Oh, my girl! I'm so happy! I must go tell the other elders!" she says before moving quickly out of the room.
Doc stands, holding my second baby, a shocked look on her face. "Nanami, did you have any idea there were two?" she asks.
"No. The scan only showed one. Not two." I whimper.
"This one must've hidden behind the placenta of the other. They're fraternal, not identical." she says, watching as Rina brings the first one to Byakuya. She hands the other one over to Rina to clean before sitting back down between my legs. "You won't need stitches this time. I'm going to clean you up and get you an ice pack, ok?"
"Doc...we have one boy. What is the gender of the other?" Byakuya asks.
"They're both boys. Healthy boys, from the look and sound of things, though your second one is much smaller."
"I don't want any more! This is too much!" I cry.
"Alright. I can't preform that sort of surgery so you'll have to speak to Captain Kotetsu but I think it best to wait until you heal from this, Nanami. You're bleeding pretty heavy, though not enough to be an emergency. Do you feel alright?"
"I'm light headed."
"Rina, give Master Byakuya his other son and kindly go ask the captain standing guard to bring either Captain Kotetsu or Miss Inoue here. It's urgent."
"I need sleep." I mumble.
"Stay awake, Nanami. I know you're exhausted but I need you awake for a little while longer, ok?"
I can't help but close my eyes, letting the world fade as I slip into sleep. At least I hope it's sleep and not death. That would be horrible...
****Byakuya POV****
I'm getting impatient as I wait outside the room they've taken Nanami to. She's bled far too much. I'm worried for her. Zaraki sits beside me, holding the smaller of my two sons. Captain Kotetsu had come within minutes of being summoned. She and Doc are dealing with the bleeding.
"She'll be ok. Quit worryin'." Zaraki says, leaning back against a wall and laying my son on his shoulder. "He's sleepin', finally."
"Was it like this with your wife? Did she bleed like this?" I ask coldly.
"No, but her sword healed her so don't take that to mean it's not normal. Noodle is a helluva lot stronger than I'd have guessed her to ever become."
"What happened earlier?"
"She was already in labor when I found her walkin' home. I carried her most of the way here when that bonehead ex of hers showed up. I got a little carried away and accidentally threw him in her direction. She used her bankai and it scared him."
I stare at him for a moment. "Her bankai? Nanami doesn't have bankai."
"Tch. She's kept it secret from you then. It's big. A mix of direct attack, elemental and kido. I wanna fight it, when she's up to it."
"You are little more than a barbarian."
"Still can't come up with a better insult, huh?"
We both look to the door as it finally opens and Isane emerges. She looks tired. "She's going to be fine...she won't be able to have any more children, though."
"That is best, I think. She was saying she didn't want any more after this shock of twins." I reply.
"I had to remove her uterus. She was hemorrhaging too bad to save it. I'm not sure why it happened but she's going to have a nasty scar, most likely. She'll recover just fine, but she's going to need to take it easy for roughly eight weeks. I'm giving her another transfusion."
Doc emerges with a sigh. "I've got her cleaned up and she's ready to be moved back to your room. I'm going to have you put down a drainage pad under her, in case she rolls in her sleep and the incision bleeds a little. It shouldn't but it's always a possibility."
"Isane, what can I do for her?" I ask.
"Spoil her and make sure she takes it easy. For now, let's get her moved and comfortable." Isane answers.
Zaraki holds his free arm out in the shape to cradle. "I got the kids. You worry about her." he says, using a tone that is very unlike him. It's comforting. I reluctantly hand my older son to him and he quickly steps out of the way for me to retrieve my wife. On seeing her, she looks dead. She must have bled nearly dry. I stroke her forehead softly before lifting her in my arms as gently as I can. She whimpers a bit, but does not wake. Isane steers the IV from behind me as I carry her out of the room.
****Nanami POV****
I wake, feeling as though I've been beaten up with a wooden baseball bat. My eyes open and I find I'm in my bed and there's an IV hooked into my arm, filled with what appears to be blood. A curtain of black falls over me and lips I've come to adore are pressed against mine for an instant. "You've scared me so badly today that I intend to lock you in a protective shield and never let you leave." Byakuya says, pressing his nose to mine. Somehow, I don't feel threatened.
"I'm in pain. I'm not going anywhere." I tell him. "I'm sorry I fell asleep. I was so tired."
"Nanami, you didn't fall asleep. You nearly died...you cannot have anymore children. Isane had to remove your uterus due to a rupture. You were bleeding badly."
"I see. I supposed that's why I've got this still in my arm?"
"Indeed."
"And our sons?"
"They are fine. Sleeping, though I'm sure they will wake to feed soon. Our oldest has black fuzz and blue-grey eyes. He was seven pounds and two ounces, seventeen inches. Our youngest has white hair and your eyes. He was only five pounds and sixteen inches."
"I see. I have no clue what to name them now."
"I think it will be safe to wait for a day or two."
I nod and close my eyes again. "Will you hold me, please?"
To my surprise, he moves his body close against mine though instead of resting his arm across my hips as he has gotten in the habit of doing, he instead rests it across my rib cage. He kisses me again, slowly but sweetly, before laying his head next to mine. "Will you explain something to me?"
"I will try."
"Why is Zaraki now calling you his little sister?"
I blush. I've kept my adopting of the man a secret from my husband, knowing good and well that he will not approve. "Perhaps me calling him my brother has finally sunk in. I owe my life to him today. I wouldn't have made it home without his help."
"I see. I suppose I will thank him next time I see him."
I sink back into sleep, comforted immensely by his presence.
*****************************
I try to think as I feed my sons. I cannot find a suitable name for them in my mind. Byakuya returns from the bathroom and watches me for a moment. "Are you alright? That's a very serious face you're making."
"I just can't find a name that I think would suit them." I sigh, wincing as I readjust myself.
"What about Ryusuke?"
I think on it and smile. "For the older one. He's feistier."
He sits beside us and focuses his gaze on the younger boy. "Kenjiro."
I glance at him and smile. "Why weren't you like this with Sakurako, hmm?"
"I'm sure I have no idea what you mean."
"I'm going to kill him, you know. I know I can do it. I wasn't afraid of him for once."
"I know. You've grown strong. I am proud of you."
***************************
"Bankai! Crash upon the shores, Mizu no yōsei no arekuruu ōkami!" I call out, facing Byakuya. He watches the water wolf take form, circling it curiously.
"Do you know what it does?"
"I'm not certain. I can tell you it shoots boiling water from it's mouth but that's all I do know."
"I'd like to test something. I'm not going to attack you, but I will do what we did with your shikai."
I nod. "I'm ready when you are, Captain."
As his petals fly into the wolf, I can see them circling inside. He moves out of the way and I swing my sword, forcing it to release that jet of water from it's mouth. I'm startled by the results. The water erodes the wall of the training grounds, looking as if an explosion has happened. I hide my amusement though, knowing it's not appropriate. Byakuya blinks a few times, clearly shocked. He clears his throat. "Well, that is interesting."
I tremble a bit and release the bankai, watching the wolf disappear. "It uses so much reiatsu it's hard to maintain for long, I'm afraid." I say, wiping my brow.
He continues to examine the wall and, picking up a rock he quickly drops it. "That water is what I would imagine the heat of lava to feel like, Nanami. These rocks are still scalding hot."
I walk to him and am horrified to see a blister forming on his hand. "I'm sorry, Captain! Please, let's get this-"
He grabs my chin with his good hand. "It is fine. Do not worry. Go to the office now and sit. I will be there shortly. Make tea, if you would, please."
I hurry to the office and, to my surprise, find Sakurako there with Renji, who's holding my sons. "Is something the matter?"
"No! Granny sent word that Sakurako kept begging to see you and the twins are needing fed. It seems Kenjiro has drained the...uhm...milk you left."
I smile a bit and take my younger, smaller son. At three months old, he is still smaller and frailer than his brother, but is catching up. Kenjiro gives me a smile and gurgles a bit. "Renji, I'm going to feed him. Kindly keep your back turned. Or take them to our captain, until I finish with him." I say as I sit at my desk. Renji turns swiftly as I begin freeing myself from my kosode and shitagi. My son latches greedily.
"Nanami, when you're finished, Captain Zaraki has sent word he'd like to spar with you today." Rikichi says from the door, turning his head so he can't see.
"You tell Captain Zaraki I will come spar with him when I'm darn good and ready and if he can't be patient I will refuse to come to his next barbecue."
"You're trying to get me killed, ma'am!"
"Oh fine. Just tell him I'll be there later but I am not fighting him to the death."
As Rikichi leaves, Byakuya arrives and, seeing what's going on, he takes Ryusuke from Renji. "Lock the door on your way out, Renji."
Renji seems all too happy to oblige. Byakuya looks at me, that cold look on his face. "Nanami, what did I tell you about doing this in the office?"
"I made Renji turn around. Your son has exhausted the supply I left at home already."
"I can still place you in a bubble, my trouble making wife." he teases.
I blush and look down. "Forgive me, my love."
"Why mommy trouble?" Sakurako asks.
"Because it's not proper for a lady to bare her breast for anyone to see. Even if she is feeding a baby, it's best to do it in privacy so other men don't try to be inappropriate." Byakuya replies.
"But why? Do men like?"
I must cover my mouth to hide my smile. Byakuya glares at me. "Some men are very attracted to the body of a woman, when they are pretty. You see, men who were not raised as nobles, like your brothers will be, cannot control their base urges and see women as nothing more than a way to make babies."
"How they do that?"
"Sakurako, darling, it's quite early for you to learn of these things. However, just know that it is poor manners for mommy to have herself exposed in front of-"
"Sakurako, do not listen to daddy. There's nothing wrong with women feeding their babies in front of men. Men need to learn to keep their dirty minds to themselves." I snap.
Byakuya looks startled then sighs. "Yes, your mother is right."
As Kenjiro finishes I signal for Byakuya to take him, trading him out for Ryusuke and my other breast. I watch fondly as he plays with our youngest, making the boy giggle a bit, before changing his diaper. Sakurako sits on the floor. "I hold?" Byakuya moves and sits with her, allowing her to hold her brother. The smile on her face is endearing.
Soon, Ryusuke finishes his meal. I get my uniform arranged before getting him cleaned up and burped. Byakuya unlocks the door just in time for Renji and Granny to come in. Granny's smile hasn't left her face since my sons were born. "Is everyone better now? I'm sorry to have had to bother you two. Sakurako just seemed very upset and wanted you both."
"It's quite alright. Renji, help get them home. Nanami and I will be along shortly. I have three more reports to read and sign off on." Byakuya orders, handing Granny Kenjiro. As the five leave, he closes the door and locks it once more before turning to me. "You disobedient, irritating woman." he says, sounding mean but I can hear the playfulness in his tone.
I smirk at him. "And there's nothing you can do about it, my love."
He moves swiftly, crossing the office to stand in front of me. His hand darts out, grabbing my chin. My head is tilted up and his lips claim mine. "I'm going to have to teach you some manners!" he hisses teasingly, causing my heart to race. He kisses me again hotly, making me moan softly. I pull way before he can get too stirred up.
"Byakuya, there's no time for that right now."
His stare turns frosty. "Nanami, you're avoiding me lately. Can I ask why?"
I blush and sigh. "I'm...worried it won't feel right for you anymore. That somehow, since my womb was removed, it won't be as pleasing to you."
He stares at me with a rather dumbfounded look on his face. "Nanami, it's not me I'm worried about. It's you. We shall revisit this issue later tonight. For now, I will finish these reports. Why don't you go take a walk?"
I kiss him again before leaving the office. I head straight for the squad 11 barracks. As usual, the men are lounging around, or sparring or getting drunk. I look around for Kenpachi. Yumichika notices me and comes running. "Are you crazy?" he hisses.
"I don't think so. Why?"
"Tayashi is here! In the training grounds! Captain Zaraki is keeping him occ-"
"Take me there. Now. Tayashi is mine to kill. Not his."
"Nanami, you can't face him alone. You'll die."
"I'm going, Yumichika. This is my challenge and I will fight it."
He eyes me, a mixture of surprise and amusement. "My orders were clear, Nanami. You wouldn't want to get me in trouble, would you?"
"Yumichika, I have bankai. I'm not going to-"
"That's what Harmona said too. You will stay here, or I will lock you in a cell. Captain Zaraki won't kill him. He never kills those weaker than himself unless they annoy him."
I bite my lip and sigh. "I know I can do this, Yumichika. Please. I consider you a friend."
"Then trust me when I say I can't go against my orders. You'll be fine and can take this fight when you're better healed."
"Fine. One of these days, I'm going to do something really mean to you for payback."
"I'll hold you to that."
***********************
Kenpachi drags Tayashi into the middle of the barracks, both looking a bit of a mess. Tayashi is unconscious, and very bloody. Kenpachi looks to be suffering from a couple cuts and a stab or two. I run to him and startle us both by slapping him. "You idiot! You know I could take him! You challenged me to a spar and now I'm too weak to fight that spoiled brat!?" I scream at him.
"Don't take it personal, kid. If he didn't rile me up, I'da let you fight." he grumbles. I hit him a few more times until he grabs my wrists. "Stop it! Damn, your cranky."
A sword appears between us. "You will release my wife, Captain Zaraki." Byakuya's cold voice says from behind me.
"I wasn't gunna hurt her, you damn idiot." Kenpachi growls before letting go of my wrists. "Noodle, listen to me. You need to fight him. But only when you've got your mind straight. You're not a berserker like my wife, so rage will get you killed. I knocked him out. I'll keep him in my squad's cells until you're ready. When that day comes, you find me and you can smack him around til your little noble heart is content, alright? This is what big brothers do."
"I do not understand what's happened. This is against our laws, Captain Zaraki."
I step forward and hug my adopted brother. "Fine. I will agree to this but if you touch one hair on his head to make him unable to fight me, I will beat you up. Do you hear me, niichan?"
"I hear you, little sister. Now let go. You're hurtin' me." Instead of doing as he's asked, I squeeze him tighter. He falls, dragging me with him. I sit on his stomach and notice one of the stabs has black lines coming from it.
"He's been poisoned. I need someone to go fetch Captain Kurotsuchi. Tell him antidotes Twenty six, forty one and...fifteen." I command, not bothering to pay attention if anyone listens. Byakuya says something before walking to me. "Do not order me to leave him, Byakuya. I will not. He is my best friend and my brother. Blood doesn't matter to me." I say as I remove Kenpachi's haori and kosode.
"Noodle, stop it. And get offa me." he grumbles.
"You've been poisoned, you idiot. I am not moving until those antidotes get here. Do not make me knock you out."
He smirks. "Shoulda never trained you. You're gettin' feisty."
"I need alcohol. Yumichika, you know where he hides his best whiskey. Fetch me a bottle." I order, hearing the man run. When the bottle is brought back, I uncork it. Kenpachi watches me, looking rather annoyed, but he allows me to clean the wounds.
"You dare make demands of my antidotes, little woman?" Captain Kurotsuchi's voice yells from above me. I glance up, not really worried. He and little Nemuri land beside me. "And for this barbarian? "
"You will assist me, as the wife of the head of the Kuchiki clan, or I will take them from you and put my foot in your backside." I say, glaring coldly at him. Nemuri giggles and hands me three vials, each one marked in the numbers I asked for. I turn to my task and mix the numbers 15 and 26 before pouring them in the stab wounds. Kenpachi grunts and tries to squirm but I refuse to budge. The black lines fade away but the wound remains inflamed. "This will hurt. I'm sorry, Kenpachi." I say right before I dump the last one in the deeper wounds.
"Fuck! Nanami, stop it!" he snarls, grabbing my arm in a bruising grip. I stuff the whiskey bottle in his mouth just to shut him up. However, this proves to be a mistake. As the poison, a nasty greenish-black variety, oozes from his wounds, I see his eyes dilate. His hand moves to my cheek and caresses it softly, making me blush. "Harmona...I missed you so much." he says quietly.
"Niichan, I'm not Harmona." I sigh sadly.
He moves before I can move and his lips are on mine. It's alien to what I'm used to. He's rough and bites my lip. He falls back before I can fuss too much, out cold from the mixture of alcohol and blood loss, I assume. I throw myself off of his stomach and frantically wipe my mouth. Byakuya glares at me and turns, snapping his fingers to order me to join him. My eyes stay on the ground as I follow him. This will be bad.
