I stand with my back to Lord Kuchiki. His hands gently begin washing me, creating goosebumps. My entire body feels as though it's on fire. His hand on my naked skin is tantalizing.
"Breathe, Nanami. Is this too much for you?"
"No, sir. I...it feels good." I admit.
"Hisana used to enjoy this as well. You have beautiful skin."
"Thank you."
"Do you still fear me?"
"Not as much. You do frighten me sometimes with your quick movements or cold remarks. It scared me a little earlier when you were speaking to Lady Hayate."
"I see. I am glad you are slowly learning not to fear me. That is encouraging for the success of this arrangement."
"Sir...I am embarrassed to ask but...do you find me attractive even? I'm worried that you will be miserable if we marry because I will not satisfy you, visually or physically."
"Nanami, listen to me very carefully. If a marriage was based just on a person's looks, I would already be in love with you, to hell with the consequences. You are beautiful. However, it's not just looks that interest me, but your mind as well. You must be open with me, like a book. And I believe I said I would not force you into marital relations before you are ready, did I not?"
"Yes, you did. I will try to be more open with you, sir. It will be difficult but I will try."
"That is all I ask."
"This is probably a bad time to tell you that I have lewd thoughts of you, isn't it?"
His hand stops, though he doesn't withdraw. "I would say that that is more open than I was expecting, Miss Hayate. I will admit I've had a few of you as well."
"I feel better now that that is off my chest." I giggle.
"That is an intriguing sound, Miss Hayate. I don't believe I've heard you make it before." his hands leave my skin finally. "It is your turn."
I turn, probably a little too quickly, and take this chance to gaze at his back. He's a lean man, but not so lean as to appear sick, nor so muscular to appear like a monster. His skin is pale, a shade more so than mine, as if made of moonlight. His shoulders are not broad, which is attractive to me. My eyes rove downward and I bite back another giggle. This man has a very well defined backside. I fight the urge to grab it, not wishing to seem too forward. Instead, I lather my hands and begin washing his back as he washed mine, allowing myself to do it slowly as I don't wish for contact with his skin to end. I wash him in a massaging way, working the muscles that seem tense until they are loose. He turns suddenly and grabs my wrists, startling me. "Did I hurt you?"
"Far from it, Miss Hayate." he says, his voice sounding strange. "Your touch threatens to unman me."
I blush again and refuse to look down. "I'm-"
His lips press against mine, not as gently as the other times. My lips part in surprise and his tongue invades the opening, caressing mine. It feels good. I make a small sound of enjoyment and this seems to snap him out of this passion as he pulls away. His pupils have dilated, making his eyes seem more black than grey. "You are testing the limit of my control, Miss Hayate. Finish washing and then we must go to bed."
"Yes, sir." I say, hiding a smile. I wash myself quickly, well aware of his eyes being on me. I find I am no longer ashamed in front of this man. I'm not sure why. I leave my hair alone. I will wash that in the morning. He washes himself just as quickly before ducking down to rinse and climbing out of the bath. I catch a small glimpse of his manhood and sink into the water. It will be another night of no sleep, I believe. He holds a towel for me as I step out of the tub, wrapping me in it.
"Stay still, Miss Hayate." he orders softly before he begins drying me, starting with my feet and working his way up. His face is in close proximity to my lady bits and I blush, silently begging him not to explore there. To my relief, he doesn't, simply dries my thighs with gentle pats before moving up. Now my face is hot as he dries my backside...and lingers a little too long. "You seem to be enjoying my touch, Miss Hayate." he observes teasingly.
"Yes!" my voice is little more than a squeak.
Finally the towel moves to my back and he stands, patting me dry before circling to my front. "Are you uncomfortable?"
"No, sir."
"Then why is your face so red?"
"I've never been touched by a man like this."
"I see. That is good. Your purity will come into question on the wedding night and we shall keep you that way until that night."
"What? Forgive me but I don't understand."
As he begins drying my belly his eyes focus on mine. "It is tradition in the Kuchiki family that when the head marries, the elders must watch the consummation of the marriage. That is why I suggested a long engagement. I do not wish to push you further than you are willing to go, Miss Hayate."
"I see. Thank you for forewarning me. That is something the Hayate family doesn't do."
His hands reach my chest and I watch his eyes get dark again. "Miss Hayate...either my eyes were lying to me, or you are growing a little here."
"I...uhm..." He arches a brow at me, a silent demand for an answer. "I spoke to Miss Orihime while delivering reports to the eleventh. I've always been petite, sir. She told me a way to help grow them a bit so I'm not mistaken for a boy all the time." my words fly out in a quick flow of embarrassment.
"I see. I hope you do not intend to grow them as large as that woman."
"Oh, no! I would hate to have the back pain." I giggle. "I just...I'm tired of being mistaken for a boy. It makes me ashamed of my body."
"Do not be. You have a beautiful body, Nanami." he finishes drying me before hanging the towel on the drying rack. "May I show you why size isn't important in a woman's chest?"
"I...yes."
"Go lay down."
I follow his orders, going straight to my bed and laying down. He joins me, laying on his side. "A woman's breasts, Nanami, are not just for pleasure. They are for feeding any offspring that woman is blessed with. If she has too large of breasts, after weaning, they begin to droop. However, if they are smaller, they stay firmer." his hand gently pulls my face to his, his grey eyes focusing on my violet ones. "You are beautiful, Nanami. Do not ever be ashamed of the form you were given. And do not think that breast size is all that makes you a woman."
I can't stop the tears that begin to fall silently from my eyes. "Thank you, Captain. You have no idea just how much I needed to hear that."
He kisses me softly and holds his hand up. "I wish to touch you, Nanami."
My breath hitches but I nod. His hand lowers to caress my face with a feather-like touch, as if he's memorizing every detail. His eyes never leave mine as his hand drops to my throat, closing on it slightly. He seems to be thinking hard about something. My eyes close as his hand settles on the breast closest to him, a small gasp escaping my mouth as my face heats. He removes his hand and leaves the bed for a moment, returning with my robe. "I will not go further tonight, Miss Hayate. I cannot."
I shrug my robe on and nod, secretly thankful. "It's alright, Captain. I understand....will you please stay with me tonight? You seem to sleep better."
"What do you mean?"
"I noticed that on nights you slept alone, you always seemed to wake in the middle of the night and wander into the garden for long periods. Sometimes you'd bow your head as if crying. I wanted to comfort you but thought that perhaps I'd offend you."
His eye widens and I shrink back. "You notice more than you should, Miss Hayate. However, you are correct. For some reason, when I sleep with you in my reach, I am not as troubled. I will stay."
I glance down and squeak as I turn away. "Captain, you're still naked!"
For the first time, his laugh is clear. It is a beautiful sound, one that I believe is rare for him to make. So rare that I'd believed that his face was frozen in that frown he always wears.
***************
Rukia and I are laughing at Renji's frantic searching for his sandals. Lord Kuchiki seems a bit irritated, as his eyebrow keeps twitching. Everyone else is eating breakfast and ignoring the poor man. Rukia finally throws the missing sandals, hitting Renji in the head and knocking him on his behind, causing me to laugh harder.
"Enough!" Lord Kuchiki finally snaps. My laughter immediately stops and I cast my eyes to the table. "It is too early for these shenanigans, Renji."
"But Rukia started it!"
"And I am finishing it. Do not test my already frail patience this morning."
"Brother....is something wrong?" Rukia asks kindly.
"Nothing is amiss. Granny and I have some things to discuss."
"Finally taking my advice, are you? Glad to hear it." Granny chuckles. "She will make a fine addition to the Kuchiki clan."
"Wha...who?" Rukia asks, looking startled.
"Miss Hayate has agreed to become my new bride. We will have a long engagement so I may court her properly, but I feel that it is necessary to protect not only our family but to protect her as well, as Lady Hayate seems to target her unfairly."
It gets dead silent in the room as everyone's eyes turn to me. I choose this moment to act undisturbed for once and take a sip of tea. Lord Kuchiki gives me a subtle nod of approval. These are rare, as I am usually hiding behind anything that can make me invisible, my hair usually or my sleeve.
"Brother...I'm not sure this arrangement will work. You and Nanami are so different."
"Miss Rukia...it's alright. This is not as bad as you're thinking. I'm actually happy with a long engagement and your brother is correct. Lady Hayate has already started rumors that there is...inappropriate relations going on between he and I. This will not only dampen those rumors, but it will also cause less backlash to the Kuchiki household." I say quietly.
"Is there something going on between you two?" she demands.
"I have taken to sleeping in her room. There is nothing inappropriate going on, but I find I am more at peace near her than if I am alone." Lord Kuchiki says.
"Do you even love eachother?!"
"I am falling for him, Miss Rukia."
"I do not know. I care for her wellbeing, but I would not say that love is what I feel at this particular time. That is another reason I wish for a long engagement. I wish to ensure she is happy and I am happy before we marry and risk a miserable life."
Rukia stares at me for a moment. "Nanami, are you sure you want this? You have so much to learn and so many other people that might be better suited to you. You don't have to marry him just because he asked and you feel obligated to repay his kindness."
My eyes snap to hers. "Miss Rukia, I said yes because I want to marry him. I did not say it out of a misplaced sense of paying a debt. For you to suggest that hurts me deeply. I know I am young and new to the public eye, but if I didn't believe it could work, I would never have agreed to it. I respect your brother too much to put him in a position that is full of displeasure and loathing."
To my surprise, he grabs my hand and brings it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on my knuckles. "This, Miss Hayate, is why I asked you. You are much wiser than you let on and more than you should be."
"I...am sorry. It's just so surprising, brother. I meant no offense." Rukia stammers.
"It's alright. I forgive you." I tell her, meaning it.
"Renji, I will be late to the barracks today. I have things to discuss, obviously. Miss Hayate, will you stay?"
"I don't want to be in the way, sir." I say softly.
"Nanami." My eyes dart back to his. "Stay. Please."
"Yes, sir."
As everyone but Granny and four of the other Elders leave, my heart sinks. I am afraid of these people. They hold so much power. There is Granny and three other women. The other two are men who look old enough to have been born at the beginning of time. Perhaps they were.
"This pleases us greatly, Byakuya. However, unlike Hisana, this girl is of noble birth. She must endure things Hisana did not. For starters, due to the rumors that have started, we would like the family's physician to examine her." one of the men says.
"For what purpose?" he asks, his voice cold already.
"To ensure that she is pure. This will also put a stop to the rumors."
"I do not think-"
"If they believe it will help, I will do it, sir. Even the Hayate clan inspects incoming brides for purity. I...was already inspected before the raid happened, at the request of my previous fiance's father." I say quietly.
"Nanami-"
"Byakuya, it is alright. You know the physician will not hurt her. If she is pure, there will be no problem and this will only take a few minutes, my boy. I trust her." Granny says gently. "She's so shy I don't believe she's been touched by a man before."
"No, I haven't. I will admit I don't know much about anything to do with the male anatomy either other than what little bits my brothers told me. And it wasn't anything related to...intimate acts."
"Wait, you had no talk of coming of age or the intimate acts a man and woman must do to beget an heir?" one of the men asks in shock.
"My father wouldn't hear of me hearing anything of that nature. I'm ashamed to admit, I may as well have been raised under a rock. I know, obviously, that men and women have different parts but...I know nothing of how to please a man."
"Well, then this examination should be simple. I shall stay with you during it so I may hear the findings for myself." Granny says gently. "And also because I can tell you are nervous. You shouldn't be, my dear girl."
"The Hayate physician wasn't gentle with his examination so I am not exactly thrilled to be examined again. Forgive me." I blush.
"Such innocence is almost unheard of in a woman your age." another female says. "Do you know why you were protected to such an extent?"
"I don't know for sure but...I believe that since other minor noble families kept rejecting me, that perhaps my father decided I'd never need to know."
"I see. And your mixed blood was the reason for the rejections?"
"Yes."
"A simple blood test could tell us who your mother is, you know. Would you consider that?"
"I have no wish to find out but if it would help then I would do one."
"We shall arrange for the inspection to be done within the week. Now, how long of an engagement are you thinking, Lord Byakuya?" the other man asks.
"I'd like at least a year." he answers smoothly.
"Miss Hayate, are you in agreement with that amount of time?"
"I...yes. I would like to add that should it be necessary, I would prefer to be able to push the date back or forward if need be. I know how rumors work and I do not wish for any ill rumors to dirty the great Kuchiki household."
"My word. Byakuya, this girl is a fine negotiator. Very well, a year with a stipulation of being able to move the date as need be. Now, Miss Hayate, Lady Hayate has made it clear you will not have a dowry as she has disowned you."
I frown but nod. "I would not have had much of one anyway, no matter who I married, I'm afraid. The Hayate clan only sets a dowry for the pure blooded children. Never for the...mongrels."
There is a tense silence until Lord Kuchiki grabs my hand again. "I am not worried about a dowry. She is doing enough by bringing us new recipes and helping with financials of both squad six and the family. She is an asset to this clan."
"I happen to agree. Moving on. It is tradition in the Kuchiki clan that at least two elders ensure the marriage be consummated on the wedding night. It will not be for the entire time, just until...well, I will let Byakuya explain." Granny says.
"He already has mentioned that part and I am fine with that. I understand it's your traditions. The Hayate clan doesn't have anything like that but I am willing to undergo this for him."
"Very good. Now, Miss Hayate, do you have any medical conditions that would prevent you from bearing an heir?"
"Not that I'm aware of."
"Would you bear one for us if you do not have any medical reason not to?"
"Only if Lord Kuchiki desires it. I will not do anything that he does not desire."
"Hmm, she is a strategist, Byakuya. Interesting. That answer is good enough for me. It is true that a husband and wife must agree on such things." the older of the females says. "Miss Hayate, is there anything of this marriage that you wish to request? The ceremony I mean?"
"I...no. I don't believe so. Anyone that I would want there already will be except for my father and brothers. The only thing I can think of is I would love to be married under the sakura trees when they bloom."
"That can be arranged, my dear. Byakuya, is there any requests you have for the ceremony?"
"Not at present time."
"Very well. We can make more arrangements closer to time. Is there anything else that needs discussed?"
I shake my head vigorously and Lord Kuchiki rubs his thumb over my knuckles. "I believe that is everything for now, Elders."
"Congratulations on your engagement. We look forward to adding you to our family, Miss Hayate." Granny says, patting my other hand.
*******************************
It's been three days and already the rumors are getting worse. I'm suddenly pregnant with Lord Kuchiki's child, the only possible reason he would want to marry me. I am after his riches, the only possible reason I could want to marry him. I've taken to hiding in the office as much as possible, avoiding even Renji. Lord Kuchiki has punished several people for spreading the rumors already, assigning them menial tasks like cleaning the squad toilets and such. He isn't tolerating things well either.
"Miss Hayate, your examination will take place this evening. You are to bathe directly after dinner and Granny will take you to the physician's chamber."
"Yes, sir." I say quietly.
"You seem nervous."
"Well, sir, it's very embarrassing to be examined in such an area. I'm a shy woman and having someone in that area is not my idea of a fun day."
"Are you sure you will go through with it?"
"I've had to once before. I will do it for you. If this doesn't work, I will become a spinster so no person will ever be looking at my lady parts again."
"Miss Hayate-"
"No, Captain! I am afraid. I do not wish to do this, but I will because I must." I cry suddenly before running to the women's bathroom. I sit in the corner of the stall and let my tears fall. I'm not alone long when someone enters.
"Nanami, I saw you run in here. You seemed upset." the quiet, calm voice of the squad five lieutenant calls out.
"Momo! I'm in the last stall." I reply, hating how my voice is strained.
She enters and immediately pulls me in a hug. "Shh, now. What's wrong, Nanami?"
"These stupid rumors flying around the city. Because of them, before Captain Kuchiki and I can marry, the Kuchiki family doctor has to inspect me to see if I've been..."
"Oh dear. Those nobles can be very harsh. If it's anything like captain Kotetsu does, it won't hurt, Nanami."
"Momo, I was already inspected once. The Hayate physician was cruel and hurt me on purpose. I...Momo, I'm scared. I don't want to be hurt again there."
"What do you mean? Nanami, did someone hurt you!?"
"The last doctor hurt me when the inspection was done. He...Momo, he pinched and hit me there and he laughed when I cried out."
"Did you tell anyone?"
"How could I? I was afraid to. Lady Hayate doesn't care for me and I couldn't tell my father for the shame I felt."
She hugs me tighter. "I think you should tell Captain Kuchiki. He doesn't seem like the type of man to let someone he cares for suffer like you are."
"I can't. I don't want him to think that I am incapable of following through with what needs done."
"Nanami, your mental and emotional wellbeing is important too."
"One of the elders will be in there this time. I trust her."
"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, don't hesitate to say something, ok? Doctors aren't supposed to hurt their patients in any form. Here, let's dry your eyes and I'll walk with you back to your office, ok? I don't think you should be alone like this."
True to her word, Momo escorts me back to my desk. Lord Kuchiki has left, probably to deal with some matter with the squad. She stays with me until it is time to retire for the day, letting Renji walk me home. This is not unusual. Renji is usually my escort home, since we leave at the same time every evening. I hesitate, however, at the gates to the manor.
"What's wrong, Nanami?" Renji asks, turning to me.
"I'm scared, Renji."
"Scared of what? It's just dinner."
"The family physician is to examine me tonight to make sure I haven't been with a man before."
His face matches his hair and he clears his throat. "Oh. Uhm...well...look, you have nothing to be afraid of. Doc Jintama is a nice old lady. She will talk to you and tell you everything she's doing. That's how she did with Rukia when it was time for Ichika to be born. Rukia almost fell asleep a couple times, she was so at ease."
"I don't want to be hurt again."
He bends down, getting in my face. "Has someone hurt you before? Give me a name and I'll kill em."
"No! Renji. Please, keep it to yourself."
"What is the problem here?" Lord Kuchiki asks softly.
"Sir, I think Nanami is nervous about her appointment with Doc tonight." Renji answers.
"Why, Miss Hayate? You said you've been examined before. Is there something you need to make known?"
"No! I'm not hungry. I'm going to go get a bath. Good night, gentlemen." I nearly scream before darting through the house to my bathroom. I lock the door behind me before running the bath water and getting in....
"Miss Hayate, I will not enter but may I speak to you?" Lord Kuchiki asks from outside the door.
"No." I whimper.
"Nanami, I can't help you if you don't tell me what troubles you."
"I don't want to talk about it. I will be out in a moment."
"Nanami, it would please me to help you not be so afraid."
I sigh and finish tying my robe shut. When I open the door, he is there. "It...the Hayate doctor hurt me. I am afraid." I admit, shame making me feel ill.
"What do you mean he hurt you?"
"He pinched and hit me there. It hurt for hours after. I cried out in pain and he wouldn't stop, just kept laughing at me."
****Byakuya POV****
Her admission blindsides me. I knew that she was innocent but for her to be touched in such a way while crying out for it to stop...I pull her into my arms, where she cries quietly. This is why she has been out of sorts all day. "Nanami, it is not common but, would you prefer if I stay with you? Would that comfort you more?"
"No. I can't ask you to do that, sir. It's not proper."
"Would it be better for you? I am worried about your mental health, not just your physical health right now.'
"No. I will go now and get this done and then I would like to go to bed, please."
I frown. "Miss Hayate, you have not eaten dinner. I can't possibly let you sleep without something on your stomach."
"I'm not hungry."
A knock on the door and Granny enters. "Is everything alright?"
"No. Nanami is afraid. Apparently the Hayate physician was cruel during the previous examination."
"Well, I won't be. I tell you what, Miss Hayate. I will examine you on your bed and I won't touch you unless you tell me it's alright. Is that fair?" Doctor Jintama says gently. Her pale green eyes and silver hair speak of her age more so than her wrinkles. She's been the Kuchiki physician since before I was born.
Nanami says nothing, just retreats to her bed and sits, staring at the floor. Her movements are more like a robot than a person, quick and precise. Her eyes are haunted. This is the most lifeless I've ever seen anyone's eyes, including Zaraki's when his wife died. Granny pats my hand. "Go on, my boy. I will look after her."
"Granny..."
"Shh. I'll talk to you once it's finished."
I retreat, saying nothing further. So much for my promise of not making Nanami do anything that makes her uncomfortable. Why could she not have told me before? Was she made to be ashamed of it, as if she had asked for this to happen to her?
****Nanami POV****
"My exam is complete. I am happy to say that Miss Hayate has not been active with another man, as her barrier is still intact. Miss Hayate, you may dress again, my dear. I would like to speak with you about what you should have been taught already, though it might be embarrassing for you." Doc says gently as she steps away into the bathroom to wash her hands. Granny exits the room as I pull my robe back on. Doc comes back and sits on the floor facing me. "Miss Hayate, what do you know about the male anatomy?"
"I...well, I know a man's privates are called a penis."
"Anything else?"
"No. My father was adamant that I not be taught anything." She sighs and begins telling me what happens between a man and a woman to make a child. Noticing my blush, she asks me about it, causing me to blush harder. "I...uhm...is it common for a woman to be aroused by no stimulation?"
"You mean can a woman masturbate? Of course. Men can too."
"That's not what I meant. I meant...well...sometimes when I see Lord Kuchiki, I...well, I feel hot and wet. I know how masturbation works but it feels different from this yearning."
She chuckles. "That's a good sign, my dear. And no, it's not unusual. It just means your body wishes to initiate intercourse with him. You should have no problem on your wedding night if you already feel that for him. I will, however, keep that secret to myself. My suggestion to you is to either deal with it or try to ignore the urge. Should you and Master Byakuya have intercourse before your wedding night, the elders will notice and void the marriage."
"But how will they know?"
"When a womans virginity is taken, she bleeds. They will notice there's no blood."
"Oh! Does it hurt?"
"It will for a little while but I believe you will be in good hands with your husband. Have faith in him to make it better....Miss Hayate, the doctor who examined you before, you told me what he did. I wish to tell you that I am very sorry. Doctors are meant to help, not hurt. I promise you will not have to do this again unless you get pregnant, my dear, and then only toward the end so I can check if you are beginning to dilate. I promise you that."
"Thank you." I let out a relieved sigh. She stands and pats my head before leaving. I lay down, facing away from the door. I'm not alone long though, when the mattress dips and suddenly Lord Kuchiki's arms are around me.
"Forgive me, Miss Hayate. I have already broken a promise to you." he says quietly.
"It needed to be done. Please don't blame yourself."
"Nanami...other than Doctor Jintama and that cruel beast of Lady Hayate's, has anyone touched you there?"
"No...only my own hands have touched me."
"I see. I am glad. I do not like feeling this fury. At that monster of a doctor."
"I do not wish to speak of it."
"Very well. Sleep, unless you wish to eat."
"I am not hungry. I want to sleep and be comforted by your arms."
He kisses my cheek softly. "Then sleep. I will protect you, Nanami. Do not fear."
