"You cannot leave her, Alpha!" Okami snarls around his mouthful of my hakama.
"She's dead!"
"Not dead! She cannot die as long as I am alive, you idiot man!"
"She said if you were broken she'd die!"
"And so I've let her think that! I'd have to be destroyed completely for her to die permanently. Not a scrap left. However, when I'm broken, she does die in a sense. You'll like her better now, I'm sure, but will have to work with her. Now dig, damn you!"
He releases me and sets to work diggin'. I wanna beat the hell out of the fuckin' bastard but I get diggin' beside him. If she really is alive...if Okami is here, she has to be. She's alive!
********************
We finally get to her coffin and I bust the sucker open. No sign of decay at all, not that I was expectin' any. She looks like she's asleep. I put my fingers to her neck. I can barely feel it but...there's a pulse.
"See?" Okami chuckles. "Bring her home, Alpha. She was damaged but I know you can figure it out."
Damaged? The fuck is he talkin' about? I glance at the sky and sigh. I'll get home barely before dawn probably...
***********
I get her home and set her on the bed. This will cause a panic if anyone walks in to see her in the bed with me. What the fuck should I do? I can't lock the door or-
"Daddy...why you bring mama home? You said she was dead." Takeshi says, peerin' around my legs. He catches sight of Okami and throws his arms around the damn wolf. "Mama's alive! Kami wouldn't be here if she was dead!"
"Shh. You're the only one that knows right now, kiddo. It's a secret til I figure out what to do. Mama is alive but not really here. She's sleepin'."
"Like Sweeping Booty?"
"What?" How in the hell does someone sweep with their ass?
"Sweeping Booty! The pwincess that slept a long time when she poked her finger on a needle."
"Oh, Sleepin' Beauty."
"Yeah!"
"It's kinda like that, I guess."
He climbs in the bed and snuggles up to her. "Too bad you're not a pwince, Daddy. All you'd have to do is kiss her to wake her up."
"You think so, huh?" I chuckle.
I hear the front door open and shut quietly, catchin' a glimpse of Orihime's hair turnin' into the nursery. "Takeshi, you stay here. I'm gunna go talk to Orihime so if she glances in here she's not scared."
"Ok. I cuddle wif mama."
I smile a little. "Okami, you stay too."
"As if you have any authority over me." he yawns before layin' down.
I head to the nursery and grab Mitsuki for feedin'. "Mornin'."
"Good morning, Kenny." Orihime says softly, lookin' troubled.
"Somethin' wrong?"
"I must be feeling things but I could swear I feel Harmona here in the house."
"Don't freak out. Okami appeared and told me she is alive so....I dug her up and brought her home. She's got a pulse so she is alive but she hasn't woke up yet."
"Oh, Kenny! That's wonderful! If you want me to take a look at her before I leave, I can. I wondered where you were last night." she laughs, takin' it better than I thought.
"I don't think it's necessary. She just seems to be asleep or in a coma maybe. Okami isn't worried about it." I say before puttin' Mitsuki on my shoulder and pattin' her back gently. Once she burps, I set her down for her diaper change. My little one is already back asleep by the time I get her swaddled. "She reminds me of a damn cat. Eat, shit then sleep some more."
"Babies are just like kittens. Give them a little more time. I have a feeling Ryden will be the one to keep an eye on. He has an awful temper already." Orihime giggles.
"Must get that from his mom."
"Speaking of...go on back. I've got these two handled."
"Thanks, Orihime."
"My pleasure."
I head back to my bedroom and Takeshi waves me over. "Mama's cold."
I notice her shiverin' and the blue tint to her skin. "Okami..."
"She's fine. You forget her blood hasn't circulated for nearly four days now. It's cold, therefore she's cold. Warm her up and she might wake faster."
"How do you suggest I do that? The way I used to?"
"You disgusting pig. Run her a hot bath. Sleeping with corpses is dirty, Alpha."
"I'm gunna murder you!" I snarl, earnin' me a laugh.
"Can I go see Kakku?" Takeshi asks. "I hungry."
"Yeah, go on. I'm gunna see if I can't get mama to wake up."
Tak runs from the room, calling a good morning to Orihime as she emerges from the nursery. She watches him go before crossing the hall to this room. "Kenny...are you sure that you should wake her? I mean in all the movies I've seen, whenever someone dies and gets brought back, they're....different. Usually worse than they were."
"She is better than she was though part of her is missing and I can't seem to find it." Okami grumbles.
"The hell do you mean?" I turn on him, fists clenched.
"The scientist when he fixed me...he took something from her. Memories. He told me, though I don't think he realized even broken I could hear him, that she's better off without them. Less volatile were his exact words. But I'm not sure what memories he took yet."
"She's not a fuckin' play thing! That-"
"Maybe it's not a bad thing, Kenny. What if he took her bad memories from growing up? She won't be so scared anymore." Orihime says, puttin' a finger to her chin.
I eye the idiotic human girl. "You figured that out, huh? She tried to hide her fear so hard."
"She tried so hard it made it more obvious, I think. Anyway, I'm gunna go grab some breakfast. I'll be back in a couple hours. Call me if you need me sooner."
"Sure. Go on, go flirt with the peacock."
She blushes and nearly trips over her own feet as she leaves. I glance down at Harmona again and brush her hair back from her forehead.
"Go run the bath, Alpha. She won't wake until her blood starts warming." Okami sighs softly.
"You and her are a lot alike, you know. Always so damn bossy."
"I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about."
I go get the water runnin' before goin' back to her. Okami has stripped her of her funeral kimono and the wound in her chest stops me dead. "Why?"
"I can't heal her while her body is in this stasis. I can only speed her body's natural healing. I can't do it on my own if her body is dormant."
I lift Harmona in my arms and head for the tub. I got the water hot like she used to like it, hopin' it will help her faster. I need to figure out what fuckin' memories Mayuri took. I slip down into the water with her and massage her arms and legs, tryin' to get things flowin'. "Come on, Wolf. Come back to me." I whisper in her ear....
I've had to refill the tub twice now, each time once the water had cooled past the point of bein' helpful. Her skin has lost the blue tint finally. Suddenly she takes a deep breath, causin' her to cough. "Easy. You're alright." I say, continuin' to rub her arms and legs.
Her eyes fly open and water flies as she scrambles to her feet, puttin' herself in the corner. She stares at me in confusion. "Who are you?"
"That's about as funny as a case of the shits." I growl.
"Ok, that's really gross but I'm being serious. Who the fuck are you and why the hell am I in the tub naked with you?"
I blink. "Harmona-"
"Is that my name?"
"Do you know where you are?!"
She looks around. "In a bathroom with some weird pervert apparently." Okami sticks his head in the door and she looks relieved. "Okami, what the hell did you get me into now?"
"What do you remember?" he asks.
She closes her eyes. "You, obviously...uhm...Swee, I remember him. And Ukitake. We've been in the forests of Zaraki a really long time. How'd we end up here?" Her eyes open again.
"He's removed more of your memories than need be. That man there is your mate, your alpha. You had five children, one who died three days ago when you did during a Hollow attack."
She looks back at me, her eyes travelin' over my entire body before she gets a sharky grin on her face. "You're shitting me, Okami. This big guy? How'd he win from old man Yamma?"
"The old man is dead."
"Come on, Okami. You're really pulling my leg today."
"I'm not jesting, child. Ukitake fell in battle as well. Swee is Yamamoto's successor as head captain. Your mother died as well."
"What?! Stop lying to me! Nobody could kill her. She's the Kenpachi for fuck's sake!"
"Your mate did."
She glares at me. I glare back. "You don't deserve her title. You look pathetic." she snorts before climbin' out of the tub and dryin' off. "As for this 'mate' thing, forget about it. Not in my life. I don't know you and don't want to. Okami, if I had babies, why do I look so skinny?"
"Because you're an idiot who won't eat. Apologize." Okami snarls.
"No. And you can't make me." she snarls back.
"You will or I will refuse to play with you anymore, idiotic girl."
"I don't wanna play with you anyway, jerk!" she yells before shiftin' into her wolf and attackin' him.
Well, this didn't go as fuckin' planned. That goddamn Mayuri is gunna fix this if I have to kill him. I get dried off before catchin' the wolves and throwin' them outside...right past Shunsui. "Come in. We got a lot to talk about." I sigh. The furious snarlin' and howlin' outside, even through the shut door, tells me she's really fightin'. She's not playin' with Okami.
"Kenpachi, what the fuck is going on!?" Shunsui yells.
"Mayuri fixed Okami. I took him to her grave. Okami came out and told me she was alive and I dug her out and brought her home. She doesn't remember anythin' except you, Ukitake and Okami. Okami tried to bring her up to speed and she refused to believe him on anythin'. She didn't even know her damn name!"
"So she doesn't know who you are?"
"She doesn't believe Okami that I'm her husband. Or The Kenpachi for that matter."
"And the kids?"
"She seemed to believe that a little better but not really."
"We've got to figure it out."
"Mayuri took the memories. Okami heard him mutterin' about it."
"Why?"
"Somethin' about she is better off without them."
A loud, pained yelp and things die down outside finally. We get to our feet to have a look, walkin' out on the porch. Okami is red with his own blood but Harmona is down, at least one of her legs broken by the look of things.
"You apologize. Now." Okami snarls in her face.
She bites his nose before draggin' herself away from him, toward he tree. There's a blood trail under her as she passes, her back leg, the same one that was dislocated durin' her last pregnancy, draggin' behind her as she goes. I'm gunna have to tame her all over again, apparently.
"Well, here we go again." Shunsui sighs, echoin' my thoughts.
"Mayuri better fix this." I grumble.
"You will have to fight her and beat her again, Alpha. She's like speaking to a tree. Won't listen to a thing I say." Okami growls, glarin' in her direction.
"Not while she's injured I won't. That's no fun." I snort.
"The sooner you do it, the better. However, I agree. There's no fun fighting a creature who can't fight back when someone else has already wounded it."
"Okami, how? How can she possibly be alive!?" Shunsui asks.
"I keep telling you men that she will never die while I'm alive. That's final."
Somethin' clicks in my brain but it can't be. No fuckin' way. "You're her demon, aren't you?"
He glares at me. "Do not insult me. I am no demon."
"Heal her. You said the quicker I fight her, the easier this will be." I grunt. I smell bullshit. He's not tellin' the entire truth.
"As you command." He says before disappearin'.
"You caught that, right?" Shunsui asks quietly.
"The fidget and the over defensiveness? Yeah, I caught it. This just got a helluva lot messier."
************
I watch her as she watches the men train. She's got a look on her face, almost like she's lookin' for weakness. She used to get this look but only when trainin' with the men herself, not when watchin'. Has her instincts changed that much with the loss of her memories? I get my answer when one of the men step too close to her and she tackles him, pinnin' him to the ground with Okami at his throat. "You're dead." she growls.
The idiot actually pisses himself. "I'm sorry, ma'am! Please don't kill me! I don't wanna die yet." he whimpers pathetically.
"You wouldn't even make a proper meal for me, as skinny as you are, coward. Don't lose focus of your surroundings. You are in squad eleven, for fuck's sake. If you can't fight then get the hell out." she snarls before releasin' him. "And the next time you piss yourself, I'll rub your nose in it. I may be feral but even I don't piss in the floor."
She storms out the door of the dojo and I decide to follow her. She heads to the trainin' grounds. "Hey!"
"What? Got a problem with me trying to help in my own way?" she snaps.
"Not at all. Actually, you look tense. Thought maybe you'd wanna fight to wind down a little. I'm bored anyway."
"Why bother? You're hoping to pin me against the wall and rape me probably. Pervert."
"I'm not a fuckin' rapist, bitch."
"Sure. And I'm the fucking tooth fairy."
"A wager then. I beat you, you admit I'm your alpha and talk to Shunsui to get a history lesson, since you won't listen to Okami."
"And if I win?"
"Whatever you want."
"If I win, I want you to stop pestering me."
"Fine. You win I'll never speak another fuckin' word to you."
"I didn't mean it that way. I mean if I win, I want you to stop following me everywhere and watching me."
"Why does it bother you so bad?"
"Because it's creepy. I don't know you but you watch me like a hawk. Like you want to eat me."
"Oh, I do want to eat you, Wolf. I wanna devour you until you remember me."
She fuckin' smirks at me. "A perverted tease, you are."
"You have no fuckin' idea."
***********
I slam her back into a wall and she retaliates by deckin' me in the mouth as hard as she can. She's wore out. I'm gettin' there too. We've been at it for three hours now. Her punch, however, is like a fuckin' fly bite. More annoyin' than painful. At the start, she'd been the one to say no swords because she was mad at Okami and didn't wanna use him out of spite for him. So, we've been fightin' hand to hand. I'm sore and bloody. I can only imagine how she feels. She hasn't made a word of complaint though. I put my knee between her legs and brace her up a couple inches. "Give in. You're exhausted."
"Never!" she yells before head buttin' me. It backfires on her though. Her forehead strikes my bottom jaw, my teeth splittin' her skin wide open. "Fuck!"
"See?" I tease.
"Fine. You fucking win but only because there's blood in my eyes and I can't fucking see, you prick. You are my alpha, for now." she sighs.
"Good. Now, go talk to your Swee."
"He's not 'my' Swee. He's just a friend who helped raise me...I can't remember why though."
"Talk to him and you'll figure it out."
I release her but to my surprise she punches me in the gut, doublin' me over. "I won't make this easy, you know. Don't let your guard down around me and you'll be fine."
"I'm gunna enjoy makin' you fuckin' scream for me, bitch." I snarl.
Her smile lights her face. It's never done that before except the day of our weddin'. "Maybe I'll play with you again someday, Captain. For now, you gave me an order so I'm gunna go do it." She pats my cheek in a smart ass manner before dartin' off. She ain't usin' shunpo...has she forgotten she knows how?
***********
"She came back and went straight to her tree. Yumichika and Ikkaku have tried speaking with her but she won't respond." Arimaki reports before sighin'. "Sir, would it be a bad idea to let Takeshi go speak with her? I've been keeping him distracted for most of the day but maybe he can break her silence?"
"Yeah, but keep an eye on them both. With her memories gone and her behavior completely off, I don't wanna risk her hurtin' him." I sigh.
"Of course, sir."
I watch through the window of the office as Takeshi climbs in her lap. She seems startled for a minute before she lays her cheek on his head and holds him close to her. I let out a sigh of relief. At least she's not reactin' badly...
"Kenny, I think you and Harmona should go away for tonight. Yumichika and I are going to take care of the kids and Ichigo is bringing Kazue to visit. She seems really...subdued today. Something must be bothering her." Orihime says quietly when I walk in the door.
"You noticed too, huh? Alright. I'm almost outta sake anyway so I bring her with me and see if I can't get her talkin'." I say, turnin' again.
"Be easy with her. This is a lot to take in with no memories to prove what anyone is saying is true."
"Tch. You have me confused with someone else if you think I'm gunna be nice to her. I'm not nice."
She giggles. "Yeah, you're nice, in your own way. Have fun. I'll be here."
I head for her tree and hold my hand out. "Come on. Need you to come with me."
She glares half-heartedly at me before getting to her feet. I lead her out of the barracks. It's after dark but she keeps me in sight easily. "Harmona, you need to stay close to me for the next few days. Central Forty Six has issued an order that if you're caught alone, you're to be arrested and thrown in the Muken." I say.
"Shunsui told me. I understand why too. I shouldn't have lost my temper. I...think I remember a little about the battle but Most of it is just snips. I wasn't planning to leave the barracks anyway. I need my memories back. I can't smell lies from any of you but...it's just hard to wrap my head around with no proof of what you're saying." she replies.
I turn and lift her hand. "This ring is all the fuckin' proof you need that you're my wife." I snap, holdin' up my hand so she can see mine. "I'm not a damn rapist and you accusin' me of that just pisses me off, woman."
"How the hell am I supposed to know? I've been dead for three days and woke up with no memories, naked in the bathtub with you." she says, her cheeks gettin' a little red.
I yank her down a dead end alley. "Tell me what you think of me so I can put it to fuckin' rest."
She blushes again. "Order it. Elsewise you'll never know."
"I'm orderin' you to tell me what you think of me."
"I think you're strong, but you have a weakness for people you care about, though you try to hide it. I think, after our fight today, you did deserve the title you inherited from my mother. I think I don't know how to feel. My emotions are jumbled and confused when I look at you."
"Tell me, Wolf."
"I think, even with no memories, my heart knows who it belongs to, even if my brain wants to fight it." she says it in a way that makes it sound like she really doesn't wanna say it.
"And who might that be?"
She clocks me again, causin' my teeth to snap together as she darts under my arm. I smirk. "You didn't order me to tell you, Captain, so, I won't. I told you this isn't going to be easy." She laughs.
"Woman, I'm gunna enjoy makin' you scream for me." I growl before followin' her back out into the busier road. I like this new version of my woman.
