I follow Byakuya silently, knowing if I say anything right now, he is going to respond cruelly. This silence doesn't last long though. "Nanami, is there something you need to tell me about your relationship with Captain Zaraki?" he asks, his tone making the air around me drop below freezing it feels.
"I don't know what happened just now. I'm sure it was just the whiskey. I assure you I didn't expect it and I did not enjoy that at all."
"I am glad to hear it but that is not what I asked."
"The only relationship I have with Captain Zaraki is a sibling sort. I do not view him as anything but a big brother. I shouldn't have given him the whiskey. I forgot how he handles it. He can drink sake all day and not be bothered by it but whiskey makes him act like an idiot."
He whirls, faster than my eye can follow, and I am suddenly pinned to a wall, his hand loosely around my throat. "When will you stop hiding things from me?" he says, close to my ear.
"I don't understand what you mean."
"I found the papers."
I clear my throat a bit. "He is family to me. He has shown me more brotherly affection than any of my blood brothers did in my entire life. It has taken me a long time to understand the difference between love and being tolerated. Family isn't just blood. It's the people in life that treat you with respect, caring and most of all love."
"Do you understand the shame that would be brought upon the Kuchiki clan if this were to get out?"
"Do you understand that nobody knows aside from Captain Kyoraku, Captain Zaraki and myself? He won't tell anyone and I won't either."
"Does he have a copy of the papers?"
"No. He refused to take his copy and gave it to me for safe keeping. That's why I hid those papers in the lock box under our bed. Which brings me to my question of why were you in it?"
"I was curious what my wife could be hiding from me. I am glad it wasn't anything terrible, but still, why would you hide this from me?"
"Because I know you too well, my love. You would have demanded I not do it or put in an argument against it."
"Nanami, you are a frustrating woman. How can I protect you from yourself if you won't let me?"
"I don't need protection from myself."
"I beg to differ."
"You? You're begging? Well, this is quite a bit different. I might go on a power trip with you now." I tease.
"Do not tease me, little woman. I will not give up my control." his voice sounds a bit husky, causing me to blush.
I kiss his neck gently, pushing my luck a bit. "I do not want you to give up your control. I enjoy it, usually." I kiss his neck again before kissing his jaw. I see and feel the tension drain from his body and he lets out a very soft sigh. "I love you, Byakuya."
"I love you as well, even when you're teasing me mercilessly."
"Then subdue me, Master."
I do not expect to be moved in such a fast manner. I feel the wind causing my hair to whip around my face. I tuck my head against his shoulder, trusting him not to drop me. To my surprise, we are not headed toward the manor, but rather the sakura orchard. It's far enough from the manor that no one could see us, but close enough that I'm puzzled that he wouldn't stop there. However, when he lays me on the ground, I understand. My cheeks heat. His eyes seem fevered. "Will you deny me again, Nanami?"
I look around nervously before shaking my head. "No, but please promise me that if it's not as it was before...you won't leave me."
He sighs. "Nanami, I'm not married to you for sex only. I will not leave you for something that is out of your control. I simply want you to feel loved and understand that I need this closeness with you for not only my benefit, but to ensure you know how irresistible I find you to be."
His words bring tears to my eyes, which he kisses away. I turn my head and meet his lips with my own...
****Byakuya POV****
"Captain Kuchiki, is there anything to report from squad six?" Captain Kyoraku asks.
"No, Head Captain. My squad has seen no sign of Tayashi." I lie smoothly.
"What about you, Captain Zaraki?"
"Tch. I don't know anythin' about him other than the fight I had with him the day Kuchki's wife had her twins. He's a weak coward and hasn't shown his face to me since." Zaraki lies.
"Funny that rumors place him in your training grounds yesterday, Zaraki." Captain Fon snaps.
"I can assure you, as I was there in the squad eleven barracks yesterday for my own reasons, that that fugitive was not there." Captain Kurotsuchi sighs.
"That settles it then. Likely this rumor is a case of mistaken identity." Captain Kyoraku sighs. "If that's the case, this meeting is dismissed. Thank you, Captains."
As we file out, I notice Zaraki hanging back. When I get close to him, he glares down at me. "Look, I refuse to say I'm sorry about that kiss yesterday, but just know I didn't mean it. She ain't Harmona and she sure as hell ain't what I'd be lookin' for in a woman. Noodle is attached to you and I see her as a little sister, nothin' else. So don't you dare be mean to her or I'll pummel you."
"She has already explained that the whiskey she forced you to consume is to blame. I am more furious that she adopted you as a sibling."
"Can't stand her givin' affection to anybody but you and your kids, huh?" he smirks.
"That has nothing to do with it. It is the fact that you are a lowly peasant, not a noble."
"That's rich, comin' from you. Your first wife was a peasant too."
"But not a beastly barbarian like you."
"Nanami asked for this. I didn't want it but she fuckin' begged me. Did you ever stop to think that maybe she did this for a reason? She's the goddamn head of the Hayate clan now or did you not know that? Her adoptin' me as her brother is her way of makin' damn good and sure that nobody tries to take that from her."
"What? How can she be the head of that clan? Her father still sur-"
"No. Her damn father was killed in the Nest by that witch of a step mom. They killed eachother."
"When? She hasn't said anything to me."
"A week before she did the adoptin'. She didn't want to tell you because she couldn't bring herself to admit she needed help. I tried to convince her to pick someone else, anyone else, but she chose me because she trusts me to look out for her. Why, I have no clue. Maybe it's somethin' you should talk to her about."
"She has told me before that you have shown her more brotherly affection than the brothers she killed."
He sighs and turns away from me, beginning to walk away before he stops. "She's a lot stronger than you give her credit for, Byakuya. Before she came here, she was weak and pathetic. Since she came here, she's gettin' stronger. Let her spread her wings a little and see what happens."
****Nanami POV****
I blow on Ryusuke's belly gently, making him giggle. Kenjiro is feeding, yet again. I am quite exhausted but I'm managing alright. Byakuya comes into the bedroom and, seeing I'm trying to entertain our sons on top of Sakurako hopping on the bed, he quickly rescues me. He pounces on Sakurako and begins tickling her playfully. I breathe a sigh of relief. It has been a long day. I had decided to request time off this morning, which he had agreed to, not surprisingly. Kenjiro is a handful.
"How did your meeting go?" I ask him.
"The fact that Zaraki has Tayashi in the squad eleven cells is a secret for now. It is surprising that Captain Kurotsuchi lied as well. I begin to wonder why."
"He owes me a lot for allowing him to analyze the poisons and antidotes my family creates."
"Speaking of, how long were you going to hide that from me?" he asks, his tone cold.
I blush a bit, worried he is going to be angry. "I was waiting for the right time to tell you, as I am still processing things myself."
"Nanami, you silly woman. You are now the head of the Hayate clan. As I am head of the Kuchiki clan. Do you not think that I am perhaps the best person to help you?" he points out right before Sakurako kicks him in the chest with a loud screech.
I look down at Ryusuke who is babbling happily, playing with the ends of my hair. "I take it Kenpachi told you instead of waiting like I asked him to?"
"I think nearly six months is long enough to wait, is it not?"
"Perhaps. I just know you do not handle change well."
"I have learned to handle it, with your help." he teases before Sakurako comes to me and holds her arms out.
"Wanna hold!" she whines softly.
"You wish to hold Ryusuke?" I ask her to clarify.
"Me hold!"
Byakuya crawls closer and lifts Ryusuke from my lap, allowing Sakurako to shift into position to hold him. She smiles and makes faces, causing him to giggle. His attention turns to me. "Nanami, you know that when you need help, that is part of my duty as your husband, correct?"
"Yes, I am aware."
"I wish to finish what we started yesterday."
My face heats a thousand degrees. He had teased my body yesterday in the orchard, delighting me with caressing and kissing every part of my body, making me melt in his hands. He didn't make love to me, as I wished for, just simply let me feel as though I was a goddess. We had been called back to the squad office, though, to be interrogated by Captain Fon about the encounter with Tayashi, which we both had denied ever happened. I know that if that news is spread, I will never get my chance at revenge.
I shift Kenjiro and burp him gently before handing him to my husband. His violet eyes look sad for a moment until Byakuya begins gently rubbing his belly. He smiles a bit and coos, as if it is making him feel better.
"Mommy, wuv you!" Sakurako says, blowing me a kiss.
"I love you too, darling." I reply, ruffling her hair gently.
"I wuv dada too!"
Byakuya gives her a small smile. "And you know I love you and mommy and your little brothers."
"I wuv brovers."
Ryusuke giggles and reaches for her face. She blows a blubby on his hand and his laughter is contagious. A knock on the door makes us look up as Granny and Kimi enter. "We thought we'd take them outside to watch the dragonflies, if that would be alright?" Kimi says, looking longingly at my sons.
"Of course it is. I happen to know Granny can catch them. That would entertain the children." Byakuya says peacefully.
"I used to catch them for you when you were wee little." Granny chuckles.
Byakuya lifts the boys and takes them to the elders. Kimi, I've noticed, has bonded with Kenjiro more than Ryusuke. I'm not sure whether it's because he is a bit more frail or whether she just sees he needs held more due to his temperament. Either way, I'm glad that she adores him as we do. Watching Sakurako following them from the room, I sigh softly. "I never realized how exhausting twins could be."
"You are a fine mother, Nanami. I do not believe I could have found any better of a mother for my children."
I blush and smile. "Perhaps not."
"Would you care for a bath? You seem to need a bit of relaxation."
"That sounds wonderful."
He stands before holding his hand out to me. I take it gratefully and stand. However, he refuses to walk, instead he gently works my robe loose from me, letting it pool at my feet. I do not hesitate to return the favor, placing a kiss on his chest once his robe has slid to the floor. He lifts me carefully, wrapping my legs around his hips. His lips take possession of mine as he walks to the bathroom. He sets me down on the counter between our sinks, shifting his hands to hold my head still. When he finally pulls away, I may as well be putty in his hands. "Come, Nanami. Stop teasing me and let's get a bath. I will wash you so that you may relax."
"Who is teasing who, I wonder?" I ask, a bit irritated.
"What's wrong? Are you getting impatient?"
"Yes. However, you are correct. I'd love to relax in the bath for awhile."
Once again he lifts me, this time carrying me to the bath. He settles me in his lap, pulling my shoulders back to rest on his chest. He gently unbinds my braids, as he usually does, before combing my hair with his fingers. I let out a content sigh right before he shifts me a bit. I blush as I feel what is now sticking up between my thighs. I hear him laugh softly. "You'll never stop blushing during these intimate moments, will you?" he teases.
"I doubt it very seriously."
He kisses my neck as his hands begin massaging my thighs. I feel the tension drain from them and I slowly relax my body. "That's better. Relax, Nanami. Allow me to make you feel good." he says before nipping my earlobe. It's a shock, as he's never done that before, causing me to jump a bit. His lips move to my neck again, kissing me in a fashion that makes me feel hot. His hands move up and begin massaging my hips. I'm a little shocked he didn't begin teasing me but perhaps his plan is to get me as relaxed as he did yesterday. I had honestly felt as though I was floating on clouds yesterday, thanks to his attention. His lips move to my shoulder, kissing the point where my neck meets the shoulder.
"Byakuya, I do not want to hear you claim I am a tease anymore. You are ten times worse than I could think about being."
"Is that so?" he asks right before his hand delves between my legs and begins to stroke me. His free hand grabs mine but instead of moving my hand to touch him, he moves it to my breast. I let him keep control of my hand, knowing he won't give it up easily anyway. He begins moving my hand in a rubbing way, teasing my nipple to hardness. I moan softly, enjoying this probably more than I should. My hips lift and fall, grinding against both his hand and his manhood.
His hands stop suddenly and lift my hips before settling me on him. I stiffen for a moment, blushing at how hot he feels, and worried that it will feel different. It doesn't, however. The lower he guides me, the hotter I feel. I hear him let out a soft moan as he finally sinks all the way in. He doesn't move anymore, simply stays still, apart from his hands. They take my hands and continue teasing my breasts. "Byakuya, please." I whimper softly.
"Why were you so worried? You feel as good as you ever did, Nanami." he says softly.
"I just...don't know. I was worried you wouldn't enjoy this anymore. That my womb being removed would make me less of a woman."
"Far from it." he kisses my neck again before beginning to thrust inside me slowly. His hands never stop forcing my hands to move, not that I'm putting up any resistance. My neck has become his focus as his lips and tongue caress the soft skin above my jugular vein. My hips begin to move with his, causing him to speed up a bit. "That's it. Good girl. Ride me, Nanami. Pleasure yourself with my body." he orders before clamping his mouth on my neck and sucking.
One of his hands moves down between my legs, causing me to move faster on him. "Byakuya...more, please!"
"More what?" He takes in a sharp breath as I tighten my inner muscles on him.
"I need you to...your hand...harder, please." My face is crimson, I'm sure. I know he understands though, as the fingers between my legs press down on me harder and stroke me faster. I lose myself, not bothering to quiet the noises from my mouth. It feels too good.
"Nanami!" he groans my name as I drag him to his breaking point. The heat of his release inside me causes me to shudder, my movements halting as the pleasure overwhelms me...
****Byakuya POV****
I catch her as she begins to fall forward, pulling her to rest against my chest. "Nanami?" I feel her breath on my neck, so I know she's alive still. I lift her, removing our bodies from the bath. I stop long enough to grab a towel, drying her off as best as I can before taking her to bed. She groans softly, her eyelids slowly fluttering open. "Are you alright?"
"I think so. What happened?"
"I don't know. I'm sure it's nothing to worry over."
"I think perhaps the pleasure was so good that my body just couldn't handle it." she says innocently, though her face turns bright red.
I cannot help but smirk. "I shall take that as a compliment." I finish drying myself off before pulling my robe on. I hand her robe to her and watch as she ties it before brushing her hair. "Would you care for something to snack on? You didn't eat much for dinner."
"I suppose I should..."
"You should for the boys sake. When you don't eat, your milk isn't as nutrient rich, Doc says."
She nods. "Very well. I will do it for them." She gets to her feet and takes my arm. She has come such a long way from the girl I first rescued from Hueco Mundo. Before, she never touched me unless I ordered it. Now it seems like having some sort of contact with me brings her comfort. I am glad for this, though I will never openly admit it.
To my surprise, Granny, Kimi, Doc and the three children are at the table. Sakurako is coloring while the boys watch. Granny has given Kenjiro a crayon and he is making tiny scribbles. Ryusuke is playing the "pick-me-up" game with Doc, throwing the crayon down every time she retrieves it from the floor for him. Nanami joins them at the table, where Sakurako quickly moves into her lap and begs her mother to color. As usual, Nanami is only to happy to color with our daughter. I decide to make fruit salad, knowing Nanami and Sakurako enjoy fruits more than anything else.
****Nanami POV****
Byakuya emerges from the kitchen finally, bringing two small bowls. As he sets them in front of me, he looks to the elders. "Would you like fruit salad?"
"No, Byakuya. We're still quite full from dinner." Kimi says, smiling happily. Doc and Granny shake their heads negatively as well.
Sakurako digs into her fruit, laughing as she devours the bananas first, as she usually does. I take a slower approach, choosing to savor the pears first. We color in between bites and I listen to her jabber about the dragonflies...
I kiss each of my boys on the forehead before turning to the bed. Byakuya is reading reports and I decide to join him. He wraps his arm around me as I lay my head on his shoulder. He kisses the top of my head softly. "Sleep, Nanami."
"I want to fight Tayashi. I want to take him down in front of the entire Seireitei. I wish to prove that I am not someone to take lightly. That I can be the head of the Hayate clan and deserve to be such."
He slowly lowers the reports and sighs. "Are you positive you can win this battle?"
"I am certain. I can do this, I know it."
"Then I shall speak to our head captain about it."
"Thank you."
"Nanami, I wish to speak to you about your clan. What plans do you have for it?"
"I have already implemented some changes. We no longer sell our poisons to anyone except Captain Kurotsuchi and Captain Fon. The antidotes for all poisons are given to Captain Kotetsu in case of any mishaps. Instead, we now work with Captain Kurotsuchi on developing new poisons and antidotes as well as herbal remedies that we sell in the market."
"Very good. It seems you are becoming a good clan leader."
"I learned from the best."
"And who might that be?"
"Why, Captain Kyoraku of course." I tease.
"What a terrible idea." he scoffs.
"I learned from you, you silly man."
"Good. I had no doubts."
"I can do this. You can't fool me. You're worried about this battle."
"I am." He admits, taking me by surprise.
"May I ask why?"
His arm shifts, pushing me into his lap so he can look me squarely in the eyes. "I do not think you have it in you to kill that man."
"Perhaps not, but I know I can beat him. It's not necessary to kill him to prove that I am stronger, is it?"
"No, but an official challenge like this is, by law, a fight to the death. No one will be able to step in, no matter what. If someone does, it is a forfeit and the loser must give up their sword and live as an outcast."
"I won't lose. I know I won't."
He stares at me for a moment before kissing me sweetly. "I believe you believe that."
"I believe you're being overprotective again, are you not?"
"Perhaps."
****Byakuya POV****
"Captain Kuchiki, was there something you needed to speak to us about?" Captain Hitsugaya asks at the end of the daily captain's meeting.
I clear my throat. "My wife has made it clear that once and for all she intends to finish this battle between herself and Tayashi Nobiama. She wishes to issue a challenge to fight to the death, in front of the entire Court Guard Squads."
I'm certain you could hear a pin drop, as it seems the entire room goes deathly silent. The silence is interrupted by the barbarian. "It's about damn time that girl grew a backbone." Zaraki chuckles.
"Is she aware of the rules for this sort of challenge, Byakuya?" Captain Kyoraku asks.
"I have explained it to her. She seems unconcerned. I am proud to say that she is confident of her victory."
"What are your thoughts on it?"
"I am concerned but I know she can do it. My concern is how many injuries she will get before she kills him."
"Zaraki, your thoughts?"
"Tch. That girl is a bonehead half the time but if she's feelin' like she can win, let her do it."
"I meant do you think she can win this fight."
"She can, if she puts her mind to it."
"How will we get the word to him though?" Captain Muguruma asks.
"No need. He'll know by tonight. The fight will take place in the Squad Eleven training grounds two days from now." Zaraki grumbles.
"How do you know he'll know?" Captain Fon asks suspiciously.
"You seem to forget Yumichika's ability to spread rumors. I'll tell him and the Seireitei will be lit up like a wildfire with the news. The boy will hear it and either show up or not."
I hold in a smile. For a barbarian who hates lying, he's great at dodging the truth. "I will inform my wife, if you agree to this, Head Captain."
Shunsui hesitates, a look of serious thought on his face. Finally, after a few long moments of silence, he sighs. "Very well. I hope she knows what she's doing. Issue the challenge. I am going home to drink so don't bother me. This leaves a sick feeling in my gut."
I try to stomp down the dread in my heart. Nanami will never win this fight, I do not believe. If she does not, she will be banished from the Court Guard Squads and her sword destroyed. I can't let that happen. Two days isn't long to work with her but I will have to.
