I set dinner on the table before goin' to retrieve her. She's sleepin' apparently, her nose barely above water. I put my hand on her head, hopin' not to startle her. That fails. She's on her feet, my head flyin' to the side in an instant. I rub my jaw before turnin' back to her. Her eyes are yellow. The hell? "Wolf?" She blinks a few times and the yellow bleeds back to blue. She looks at me then at her outstretched fist then looks down.
"Sorry." she mumbles.
"You got an issue with your eyes, you know."
"Least I have both of mine."
"I do too, dipshit." I say, peelin' the patch off. Her look of confusion makes me laugh as I replace it. "It's a seal. I have a little trouble controlling my reiatsu so this seal keeps it under control."
"Oh. That's useful but don't you miss using your eye?"
"It's a handicap I enjoy fightin' with. I used to wear reiastu bells in my hair too for a handicap. Anything to increase the length of a good fight."
"I see." she smiles a little.
"So, your eyes? What nasty little secret do you have?"
"A demon."
"What?"
"When I was eleven I nearly killed Yamamoto during a training session. My power, like yours, is uncontrollable. I got my zanpakuto at the age of five. Had shikai at six....and bankai at twelve. You won't see my bankai though. If you ever do, you'll see what I mean by saying I'm a monster." she says before steppin out of the tub and wrappin' a towel around herself.
"What does that have to do with your eyes?"
She sighs before starin' directly at me. "After I nearly killed him, Yamamoto decided I needed a leash for my power and he contacted one of the noble clans. They tied my soul to a demon to keep me under control. I'm a berserker, you see, and the demon is like your eye patch. It cuts off my power at a certain point unless my life is threatened. Sort of like having a limit when captains or lieutenants go to the human world."
"Come here."
"Why?"
"Still don't trust me, huh?" She growls and steps closer. I grab her head and kiss her roughly. And she fuckin' bites my lip. I pull away, grinnin' madly. "Mine. Now you don't have a fuckin' chance in hell of bein' with anyone but me."
****Harmona POV****
I stare at him, not comprehending his words. "What?"
"You belong with me, Wolf. No other man is as strong as you or can give you the battles you need. I don't give a shit about you havin' a demon in you. Other men will. I want you as you are."
"You really don't get how this mate for life thing works, do you? Unless you die, I won't go to any other man. I don't want one anyway. I happen to think you're the only man I can trust to do what'll need done sooner or later."
"What's that?"
"Kill me. This demon is one who specializes in war. His war mongering will eventually drive me crazy and I'll snap, making me a threat to the Seireitei and possibly the human world too. You'll have to kill me."
"If you say so. Don't think I'll want to though."
"Don't worry. You'll find some other idiot to cuddle with. Probably with huge boobs and nice curves. She might even tie you up and make you her sex slave. The possibilities are endless." I tease.
"Tch. I don't like huge tits and I like your curves just fine. As for tyin' me up, she'd have fun tryin'. I don't want anyone but you, you moron."
"You say that now. Wait til I get clingy and annoying." I laugh.
"You have no clue about clingy and annoyin'. You shoulda met Yachiru. She'd have had a damn field day with you."
"My mother? She didn't like me so I'm confused."
"No, my last lieutenant. She was a pink haired ball of energy I found out in the Rukongai. I named her after your mom. Your mom is the one who gave me this scar."
"I see...were you and her ever together?"
"Not like that. We had play fights every now and again."
"No sex?"
"She wasn't interested in me. She wanted a different captain." he grumbles.
"Jealous?"
"No. I got a better woman."
"How did she die?"
"Dinner is gettin' cold. Come on. We'll talk later." he says before getting to his feet and leaving the bathroom.
I dry myself off before following him to the table and sitting across from him. "So, how'd she die?"
He glares at me and refuses to answer so I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach. He's the one who killed her. That's the only explanation. I push my unease down and change the subject. "So when can I start sparring again?"
"Your next weigh in is two days from now. If you're where you should be, you can spar all the hell you want to. Just no killin'." he says, easing up.
"Aww, you're no fun. Killing is the best part of fighting. Cause then they can't bother you anymore."
"I happen to think the fight itself is the best part of fightin'. The adrenaline, the sound, the smell of blood and the rush of findin' out who's the strongest."
I stare at him. "Wow...you're really deep when you want to be."
He smirks. "I only like bein' deep when it involves you."
"Pervert."
"Only for you."
I focus on eating after rolling my eyes at him. One track mind, just like most men....course my brain is focused on him too.
"So, when are you gunna let Shunsui around you?" he asks nonchalantly.
"Why? He doesn't need to see me." I growl.
"Yes, he does. He keeps askin' to see the woman all the rumors are about but every time he gets within a mile of the barracks, you run and hide like a fuckin' coward."
"Don't. He doesn't need to see me. That's final. I'm not the girl he raised anymore. She is dead and buried." I snap.
"I doubt that very much, as touchy as you get when someone calls you a bitch. I think you buried her, sure, but she's alive and clawin' her way out of the grave."
"If she knows what's good for her, she'll stay buried. She's weak and useless and stupid."
"I doubt she's weak."
"You don't even know me or her." I grumble.
"So tell me."
"Tell me how my mother died."
"You don't need to know."
"Now who's a coward?" I say angrily.
"Stop it. This is a battle not worth fightin'."
I finish my dinner before going to wash my plate. Once that's done, I retreat to the bedroom and lay down, curling myself into a ball.
****Kenpachi POV****
Women. Can't live with em, can't live without em. I won't tell her I killed her mother for the simple fact I got a feelin' it'll push her tiny bit of sanity over the edge with no return in sight. But, I can't hide it either. She's gunna find out eventually, whether from me or someone else. I sigh and follow her to the bedroom. What I see stops me dead in my tracks. She's fuckin' cryin'. Shit.
"That ain't the kind of fluid I want makin' my bed wet." I tease her. She glares at me and wipes her eyes, her look just darin' me to say somethin'. "The hell you want me to say, woman? Life ain't all rainbows and sunshine. I don't have words to comfort you."
"No, really? Here I thought you were some pathetic ass man who begs for forgiveness and kisses his woman's feet in submission." she snaps sarcastically.
I cross the room and pull her up, gettin' nose to nose with her. She's pissed. However, she startles me, kissin' me urgently. Oh yeah, she's mine alright. Angry sex is somethin' I specialize in...
****Harmona POV****
I lay trying to catch my breath beside Zaraki. His arms pull me against his body, holding me hostage. He refuses to pull out of me, though we're both thoroughly wore out. It's after midnight, judging by the moon outside. His hand strokes my hair softly. "You done bein' a grouch now, you needy thing?" he teases softly.
I kick his shin. "Nope. Not ever going to happen. I'm mean."
"I can see that." he chuckles before kissing me.
"I need to kill him." I say after a few moments of silence.
"Who?"
"My father."
"You already did. Shunsui told me his heart and throat were ripped out the same day you disappeared."
"It was a doll. I have to find him and kill him, Kenpachi. I need to."
"Then do it. I won't stop you. Follow your instincts. Hell, I'll sit and watch if you want."
I rest my forehead against his. "It'll be bloody. I'm going to hurt him all the ways he used to hurt me."
"All the more reason for me to watch."
I open an eye, meeting his. "What?"
"To see exactly what he did so I know exactly what you went through as a kid so I can get you past it."
"I told you I killed her and buried her. I'm past it. I just want to kill him for fun."
"I smell bullshit. You want revenge."
"Maybe a little."
"I got a captain's meetin' in the morning. Come with me. That's an order."
"Fuck you!" I growl.
"Pretty sure I've been fuckin' you most of the night. You're comin', that's final."
I punch him in the chest before pulling myself off of him and rolling over. "Fine, you ass."
He laughs and pulls me back against him. "One of these days, woman, you'll learn to control that temper a little."
"Fuck no. Then I'll be boring."
"True."
"You know, you're a real jerk sometimes."
"You like it."
I refuse to respond to that. Instead, I close my eyes and let sleep wash over me.
****Kenpachi POV****
"No!"
I crack an eye open. She's rolled away from me. Somethin's wrong. She's cryin' in her sleep and the coppery smell of blood is in the air. I open my eye completely. Damn it! Her nails are dug deep into her arms, the blood seepin' out slowly. She shakes her head violently and tears her nails down to her elbows suddenly, blood now pourin' down her arms and into the bed. I think fast, rollin' my body over hers and grabbin' her hands. "Stop it!"
She doesn't wake up, just wraps her legs around my hips and struggles to free her arms. I glance out the window. The sky is startin' to lighten up. Too early for this shit. She manages to get a hand free and grab my ear, pullin' on it. "Ow, you bitch! Stop it!" I snarl. And what does she do? She slaps me as hard as she can. That wakes her up.
"Ow! Why is my hand on fire!?" she yells, bringin' it to her face and blowin' on it. She notices me finally and gets a weird look on her face. "Really? I'm asleep and you're trying to fuck me, huh? Pervert."
"I was not, you fuckin' brat. Look at your damn arms. I was tryin' you stop you from hurtin' yourself." I snap.
She looks down. "Oh...sorry."
"The hell were you dreamin' about?"
"My demon was trying to convince me to kill you. That's what Yamamoto always wanted for me. He wanted me to take the title of Kenpachi but I never wanted that. My demon says I should want it and to hell with you. I don't want the title and I sure as hell don't want to be a captain. Too much paperwork."
I smirk. "That's what underlings are for anyway."
"True....you know, sir, you smell really good right now. I think we should skip this stupid meeting, especially since I'm not a captain, and stay in bed where it's warm all day."
"Much as I'd love to keep your legs around me all day, this is a mandatory meetin'."
"About what?"
"You, if you must know. That's why I ordered you to come with me so you can speak for yourself."
"What!? Why is it about me?"
"You didn't read the paper sittin' on my desk while you were doin' paperwork yesterday?"
"No."
"Several captains are sayin' they don't think a woman is safe in my barracks, especially one like you who's half feral and refuses to come out of the barracks. It's been a month and nobody outside the squad has seen you."
"Not my problem."
"There's a nasty rumor that I'm keepin' you chained to a wall here in my quarters and rape you whenever I feel like it."
The fuckin' brat smirks. "You can chain me up any time, but I'm positive you aren't raping me. Plus, we just started having sex yesterday so when did the rumor start?"
"Three weeks ago."
"They're just now calling a meeting? Slow bastards."
***Harmona POV***
He shakes his head and rolls off me. "You don't seem to understand. They want you outta here, Wolf."
"Fuck em. I'm perfectly fine right where I'm at." I growl, snuggling up to his side and placing a possessive arm over him. "I'd make anyone else's life a living hell."
"Yeah, probably. You'd end up in the Nest most likely for pickin' fights."
"Yep. I mumble before yawning. "Kenpachi...what happens if they do take me away? Will you miss me?"
"Tch. They ain't takin' you anywhere. I'll kill anybody that tries. You belong to me. That's final." he grumbles, tightening his arm so I'm crushed against his side. This makes me smile a little, though I don't trust his words. Nobody can love a monster like me. Not even another monster...
"Wolf, wake up. Time to go. Get your uniform on."
I groan and roll over, burying myself under the blanket and pillows. "No."
My ass is on fire suddenly as he smacks it, causing me to spring out of bed. His laugh makes me punch his shoulder. "Teach you to tell me no." he chuckles.
"I'm going naked."
"No you're not. Get your uniform on. Now." he says flatly, daring me to argue.
I resist for a moment before giving in and pulling a uniform on, accidentally knocking a small box to the floor. It makes a jingle noise. I pick it up and shake the box but it's silent this time. Zaraki laughs at my confused expression. "My reiatsu bells. Forgot where I put them." I open the lid and take one out, shaking it. It's silent so I raise my reiastu a bit and repeat the action. The jingle noise makes me smile. "Come on, Wolf. You can play with em later."
I put the box back in the closet and sigh. "Are you sure I have to go? I mean for crying out loud, I can't think of a safer place for me than here in this squad since it's full of the strongest fighters in the Soul Society."
"Yeah but it's all males and they apparently think your honor is at stake."
"A day too late for that." I laugh.
"Come on." he says, turning and leaving the room.
I follow at his side, silently, hesitating at the gate. He doesn't wait, so I follow him. This is going to be bad. The few people we meet stop to stare as we make our way to the Squad 1 meeting hall. I'm tempted to grab his hand, needing to feel comforted, but I know I can't. He's not the type of person to walk around holding hands and looking sappy. I stare straight ahead, ignoring everyone and taking a deep breath. There's no reason to fear. These people are beneath me. I could kill them easily. I am the top predator here, Zaraki not counted. An apex predator in a flock of sheep. I keep up my silent pep talk until we reach the meeting room. "Wait here." Zaraki orders before stepping inside.
"So...you're the wolf, huh?" Someone says behind me.
"What's it to you?" I snap without turning around.
"Bout as friendly as a porcupine, aren't you." the speaker laughs.
I turn and there stand all the lieutenants, Ikkaku included. He gives me a nod and I manage to calm down a little. Until they surround me. The one who spoke earlier holds his hand out. He has red hair and tattoos on his face above his eyebrows. "Renji Abarai, squad six lieutenant. And you are?"
"Gunna pummel your fucking face in if you touch me." I snarl.
"I'd back away from her, if I were you. She doesn't like being crowded and really hates being touched." Ikkaku says from his spot on the railing a few feet away.
"You all forget she's feral. She'd probably be one hell of a fight and won't stop til you're dead." A man with short spiky black hair and a 69 tattooed on his cheek says. "I'm Shuhei Hisagi, lieutenant of squad nine. Also head editor of the Seireitei Bulletin."
"Wow, what gorgeous hair. I'm Rangiku Matsumoto, squad ten lieutenant." a busty strawberry blond woman says, giving me a smile.
"I'm Momo Hinamori, lieutenant of squad five." a short, mousy looking brown haired woman says.
"Izuru Kira, squad three." a gloomy looking blond says.
"Marechiyo Omaeda. Squad two." a fat blob of a man with very little black hair says.
"Fourth division, Kiyone Kotetsu at your service." a short childish looking blond says.
"Twelfth division, as you already know, Akon." A black haired, horned man says.
"I'd say nice to meet you but that would imply we're going to be friends. Now, back off." I snarl, raising my reiatsu a bit.
"Such a pretty woman shouldn't talk that way. If you had any sense, you'd bow down before us, especially me since I'm a noble. If you do that, I'd be willing to make you my wife, as pretty as you are." the blob says.
****Kenpachi POV****
Everyone stares at the door. Even I can feel her. I grin. "Apparently the lieutenants have arrived. If any of you want them left alive, go fetch em. I won't stop her from kickin' their ass." I say.
"Why don't you go bring her-"
There's lot of yelling outside. I hear Ikkaku laughin' though he's tryin' to get her to settle down by the sound of things. I throw the doors open and laugh too. She's got Renji by the throat and throws him over the balcony railin'. He'll be fine, knowin' that idiot. The rest of them except Ikkaku, Matsumoto and that little squad five mouse are in a bloody heap. "Wolf, I ain't gunna be able to keep em from lockin' you up if you don't settle the hell down."
She has the decency to look a little sorry before comin' to a heel in front of me. "They started it."
"They didn't listen, Cap'n. I told them to give her space and the idiots crowded her. Then Omaeda made a pass out her and she got pissed." Ikkaku says.
"Get your asses in here, all of ya. Wolf, you park your ass right in front of me." I order.
"Yes, captain."
I return to my spot in the line up and stand in front of Zaraki, though I face Shunsui's desk. He stares at me in disbelief. "Your record states you died." he says quietly.
"The girl you knew and loved is dead. She was a weak and stupid coward, sir. I killed her and buried her that day two hundred years ago." she says defiantly.
"Harmona-"
"I told you that bitch is dead, Shunsui."
He stares in shock. Then his face falls into a serious one. "You will mind your manners. I am Captain Commander Shunsui Kyouraku."
"And? I'm supposed to bow down, kiss your ass and beg forgiveness? From the man who read me bedtime stories and spoiled me with milk and cookies nearly every night? I think not."
Shunsui grins. "You got really mouthy somewhere along the way."
"My captain says I'm mouthy too." she laughs a little, the tension breaking. I understand. It was a bluff to see what he'd do.
"Harmona, we've brought you here because there's been rumors floating around and many of the captains feel that squad eleven isn't a good place for you."
"Is this the child my grandfather tried to adopt?" Kuchiki asks.
"Yes, this is her."
"Why...nevermind. It's not my place to-" Rukia starts, then blushes and stops.
"Many of the captains tried to adopt her. Her father was an abusive prick if I remember correctly." Kensei grunts. "Never did like Mori."
"Not many did." Wolf says.
"So...you go missing for two hundred years and Zaraki catches you. Then you spend two more years as a wolf before showing your true form. Then when you do, you spend a month avoiding everyone not in your squad. Why is that? I see some bruises there on your neck. Were you training or...is Zaraki into beastiality?" Shinji asks. I glare at him.
"How bout none of your business, you half breed bastard." she snaps.
"Excuse me? There's five of us here that you'd call half breeds, you mongrel." Lisa snaps, steppin' out of line.
"I'd be happy to solve your infestation, head captain."
"You can't compete with lieutenant and captain level officers." Toshiro sighs. "This is giving me a headache."
"Kenpachi, what's going on between you two?" Shunsui asks.
"She's my fourth seat officer startin' today. She could be higher rank but she hasn't beat Ikkaku yet." I answer, seein' her glance at me.
"That's not what I meant and you know it."
"Nothin' is goin' on. I treat her as an equal and earned her loyalty by doin' that. I don't treat her like shit like her father did and I actually enjoy havin' her around since she gives me good fights."
"So, those bruises aren't bite marks? They happen to look like them." Kurotsuchi laughs.
"So what if they are?" she snaps. "What the hell does what happens to me have to do with any of you other captains?"
"The safety of our troops is a high concern, Harmona."
"Oh really. That's new since that old bald bastard died, isn't it?"
Shit. Now she's touched a nerve. The other captains glare at her. "See? She's already learning bad manners and disrespect under Zaraki's care." Soi Fon says darkly.
"No, let me tell you a little story about your previous head captain. He thought it was a great idea for two captains to breed. That child, me, was raised by her abusive father. Daily beatings from the age of a year, starvation, stabbings, refusal of shelter from the weather. I was even so lucky to have my sandals nailed to my feet at the tender age of six, prompting my zanpakuto to manifest the first time. All of this sanctioned by Yamamoto."
The others pale. I see Isane wipe her eye. "Why though?" she says.
"Because he wanted a weapon to trump all other weapons against the Quincy invaders two hundred years ago. The object was to drive me completely bat shit crazy then lock me in the Muken until such time as I was needed. Your current head captain is what kept me from going crazy."
"What mother would let her child be raised in such a way?" Toshiro asks.
"Captain Retsu Unohana. That's who. Not that it's any of your business, runt."
"Harmona, easy." Shunsui sighs.
"I, for one, think she needs to be separated from him." Soi Fon says clearly. "Zaraki has no business around women."
"Why's that?" I ask before Wolf can snap.
"I'm sure you're aware of the rumors, Captain Zaraki. You have no place around women." Kuchiki says.
"What rumors?" Rukia asks.
"Zaraki here isn't known for being gentle, first off. In fact, judging by the latest rumors, it looks like he's struck again. He's not known for having willing partners." Lisa snorts.
"If you nosy bastards really must know, I was more than willing to mate with my captain and I loved it. Seems to me like you are all jealous that you can't get laid and be satisfied." Harmona snaps.
"That's why I brought her here. So she can speak for herself." I grumble.
"He didn't force you?" Isane asks.
"No. You know, growing up, there was quite a few men who tried to rape me. Funny thing, they all ended up headless. If you think I can't do that to captain Zaraki, you don't know me very well. I'm with my captain by my own choice. And if you try to remove me from squad eleven, I will burn the Seireitei to the ground."
"You and what army?" Kensei snaps.
"If you're lucky, you'll never see my army. Captain, may I leave now? I have better things to do than listen to idiotic rambling all day." she asks, turnin' to me.
"Ain't up to me, Wolf." I smirk.
"Harmona, if you're positive this is what you want, then you have my blessing." Shunsui says. "However, I don't think you've told her everything you should have, Zaraki."
She looks at me then glares at him. "I don't care. I'm with him. I'm happy. He gives me what I need so I don't go absolutely insane. Fighting makes me happy. It grounds me when everything is bothering me. Alright? If you remove me from his care, it won't be long til I go crazy. Wolves mate for life, Shunsui."
His eyebrows shoot up. "Harmona...are you saying what I think you are?"
She nods. I don't understand. "The hell did she say?"
"You need to tell him. And you need to tell her some things." Shunsui sighs. "Harmona...I don't like this. I don't want to see you hurt again. I'll come visit you two later. Dismissed."
She's gone in a flash, leavin' me to follow. What the hell happened just now?
