I feel Zaraki behind me and slow down to let him catch up. I don't want to tell him anything but I guess Shunsui has a point. Zaraki deserves to know exactly what I've done. I have a second of doubt, thinking back to what Shunsui said about him not telling me everything either. I think I know what it is and, if it's true, I really don't want to know.
"Cap'n, I personally think fourth seat is perfect for her." I hear Ikkaku say.
"Not like your input is needed, Baldy." Zaraki grumbles. "Wolf, slow down."
I come to a stop and wait on him. "Sorry for my rudeness, Captain."
"Did you see Captain Kuchiki's face!? That was hilarious! I don't think he's ever heard a woman speak like that before." Ikkaku cackles.
"Probably not." Zaraki agrees. "Let's get you fed, Wolf. Then you're supposed to go to squad four so Isane can do your check up."
"I'd rather let you do my check up. Naked." I tease.
"I don't need to know." Ikkaku groans.
"I like it hard and fast and rough. I don't think anyone else could fuck me so good."
"Wolf, shut the hell up, will ya? Tryin' to walk here." Zaraki growls.
I laugh. "Aww, I'm sorry, sir. Didn't mean to give you a hard time."
"You fuckin' brat!"
I run for it, laughing madly. I hear him behind me but I screech to a halt suddenly and veer to the left. I stop near the academy, watching silently. Zaraki stops next to me. There's little ones here, ten and below, though only one is in a student uniform. I tilt my head and Zaraki stays still as I walk to the little group once the student leaves. Several of the youngest are crying. I crouch down. "Don't worry. They'll come back." I say sweetly.
"But without Shino, we're lonely. He's our leader."
I smile. "Don't worry. You'll be ok. Where did you come from?"
"District seventeen. It's not so bad there but sometimes it's hard to find food."
I stand and hold my hand out. "Here, let me show you a trick."
"All of us?" a girl looking to be around the age of seven says.
"Yes, all of you. Come on."
"Wolf, the hell're you doin'? You got a physical to go to, woman." Zaraki growls.
"Later. I won't leave kids to starve. That's final." I snap before leading the kids away. I hear Zaraki tell Ikkaku to go home before I hear his footsteps behind my little flock. "I don't need your help, Captain." I say over my shoulder.
"Tch. I ain't comin' to help. I'm comin' cause I'm bored. Gimme a damn break." he grouches.
"Hey, that's captain Zaraki isn't it?" the little boy who's got my hand asks.
"Yep, that's Captain Zaraki. Don't worry, he's not so bad." I laugh.
"Don't be sayin' shit like that. I'm the meanest captain there is." he growls.
"He's full of crap too."
The kids laugh, though I hear Zaraki grumbling under his breath.
***Kenpachi POV***
I watch her with the kids. She's like a completely different person. It's kind of creepy how she can go from a complete smart ass nut job to a sweet big sister in the blink of an eye. Really, I'm only followin' along to see her behavior. I hate to say it but I'm studyin' her a bit. I think, deep down, she's still very much a kid herself and that's why she relates to em so easily. Hell, first time she saw Renji's kid, even though she was a wolf, she completely went goo goo eyed and, gentle as could be, laid her head on the munchkin's lap and took all the beatin' that kid gave her without battin' an eye. I just hope she doesn't want kids. I have better things to do than change shitty diapers all day.
***Harmona POV***
I let the kids lead me to where they live. There's two adults there who smile at us, though it doesn't reach their eyes. I ignore that and find a long stick before sitting on the edge of the stream behind their home. The kids watch me as I use Okami to sharpen the stick. This brings back memories. I used to go fishing sometimes as a kid but Shunsui and Jushiro were always with me. The thought makes me sad for a moment. When the end is sharpened to a point, I take the youngest boy with me, helping him roll the legs of his hakama up above his knees, before having him step into the stream. "Hold still, like a rock." I command him quietly, putting my hands over his on the stick. "Wait. Hold as still as you can."
"What're we waiting for?" he asks in a whisper.
"See the fish over there? I'm going to help you catch him so you'll never be hungry."
"Really!?"
"Shh. Yes. You have to be patient though."
I notice even Zaraki is watching me. He has a weird look on his face. I'm not sure I like it.
***Kenpachi POV***
I watch her and the runt in the stream. She hates fish...this must be why. This is how she survived so long as a wolf when she first ran off, I bet. I wonder how in the hell she stayed alone so long. I mean sure, she's got her zanpakutou but even so, people need contact from other people. Her resilience is pretty impressive. It's sad too. Kids deserve to be kids, not scared to come home at night or that today will be the last day they see. I think she puts on this mask of bein' sarcastic and mean so she pushes everyone away from her. That way, she won't have anybody close enough to hurt her. So why let me get close? It makes no sense.
***Harmona POV***
"Now!" I say, moving the spear and stabbing the fish with it. My new friend laughs delightedly and I release his hands so he can lift the fish from the water. His family is thrilled. "Good job. Now, you'll have to show everyone how to be a rock that fishes."
"Thank you!" the boy says before throwing his free arm around me. The hug catches me by surprise but I pat his head gently. "Go on now. I'm sure the two ladies you live with can show you how to cook it."
The kids run screaming, my little friend leading the herd. Zaraki stares at me. "What?"
"I think you got a huge fuckin' soft spot." he says before turning. "Come on. You need to go get looked at."
"Did I upset you?"
"No, just thinkin'."
"Oh, so that's where the smoke's coming from." I tease.
"Brat."
I lead him back to the Seireitei, knowing full well how easily he gets lost.
"Go to your check up. That's an order. Then come right the hell back here, woman." Zaraki growls when we get in sight of the barracks.
"Yes, sir." I say, turning to head to squad 4. However, he catches my arm and pulls me back to him. "What-" His lips are on mine, hot, demanding...mine. People are staring. I don't care. When he finally comes back up for air, he smirks at me.
"Get outta here, mutt. Go give Isane hell." he orders before turning his back on me...
***Squad 4 - Office***
"Well...other than being a little underweight still, and bruised in various places you shouldn't have bruises, you're healthy." Kotetsu says. "Now, uhm...birth control. You need to be-"
"Okami will tell me when I'm in heat. Don't worry."
"Uhm...ok. If you're sure....uhm...look, are you positive you're safe with Kenpachi? There's so many rumors that he rapes women I just worry about you, especially seeing these marks."
I sigh. "I have a pain addiction. Zaraki and I just started being intimate yesterday. I enjoy it rough. It helps."
She blinks at me. "Pain helps? Helps what?"
"Helps me cope with my fucked up past. When pain is all you grow up knowing, it becomes a security blanket or a drug. You know it's bad to have it, but you can't stop yourself. You need it. Zaraki takes it and turns the pain to pleasure. Who knows, maybe if he stays with me long enough I won't need the pain anymore."
She frowns. "That's not healthy."
"Yeah, I know, but I can't help it." I say, sliding off the table.
"Harmona, don't get attached to him. Kenpachi isn't the type to love anyone and is probably just using you to satisfy his sexual urges."
"I know." I sigh. "If he leaves, which he will eventually, there won't be anyone else. Wolves mate for life. Until he dies, I don't want anyone else. Hell, even if he did, I wouldn't. He's the only one to ever treat me as an equal."
She nods reluctantly. "Alright. Just please, be careful."
""I will, no worries."
I leave and head home. She confirmed my suspicions. He's a man who forms no attachments. Good. It won't hurt so much when he gets tired of me. It'll happen. It always does...
****Kenpachi POV - Squad Office****
I sign the last of the damn papers promotin' her to fourth seat and sigh irritably. Paperwork is fuckin' borin'. I refuse to do the rest. I break out a bottle of sake I keep stashed in my desk and take a deep drink. Ikkaku looks up from his desk. "Something wrong, sir?"
"Not a damn thing. You know I hate paperwork but if I don't do it, she doesn't get her fourth seat position. And she needs to be seated. Makes it harder for them to remove her."
"Sir, are you getting attached to her?"
"No. But she belongs here. I put all the work into tamin' her enough to come out of that wolf form. And she fights me good enough to keep me entertained. She ain't leavin' this squad. Over my dead body."
Ikkaku chuckles. "That sounds so convincing that you aren't attached to her." he says, drippin' sarcasm.
"Shut the hell up."
"It's good. Any other woman wouldn't be worth it, sir. But she fits in here real good. The men respect her. In fact, quite a few of them have said they see her as a little sister."
"Speakin' of sisters, yours has requested to join the squad again."
"Not no, hell no! She won't fit in. She's a total brat!"
I chuckle. "I figured. She's funny though." My attention goes to the clock. Where the fuck did Wolf go? It's been four hours. It's almost dinner time. She shoulda been back by now. I got a bad feelin' in my gut. I know she's fine, but I don't trust her in a crowd. She panics too easily in a crowd and attacks anyone who blocks her from escapin'. Just like a wild animal. I decide to give her a little longer. Maybe she got sidetracked shoppin' or somethin'. I mean, she is a woman so surely she likes doin' shit women like.
****Harmona POV****
"I kicked your ass earlier and you want me to come have drinks with you? Are you stupid?" I ask.
"No, and I feel the need to remind you that you're talking to a lieuten-"
"Renji...I don't give a flying rats ass that you're higher ranked than me." I say flatly.
"Look, my captain filled me in on what happened at the meeting and I feel like maybe you should be shown that not everyone is bad. All of us Rukongai rats had bad upbringing and we turned out ok. I just thought maybe you'd like to come and get to know a few of us and have some sake."
I think about it for a minute. I really should get home but maybe he's right. Zaraki has shown me that not everyone is bad, no matter how intimidating they look. "Alright, I'll come along with you. Just know if something happens to me, Captain Zaraki is gunna kill the one responsible."
He looks shocked. "Why would he?"
"Because he happens to be my fuck buddy at the moment."
Renji looks pale and swallows. "I don't need to know. Come on. I'm supposed to meet everyone in our favorite bar."
I follow him silently as he leads me to the market district and, finally, a bar. It's noisy in here. I see Renji bend down and gently kiss the captain of squad 13's head. She looks surprised that I'm in tow with him so I make my way to the corner behind the table and sit. There's room between the people at the table and me. Everyone is giving me nervous glances...except Yumichika.
"You're socializing? Are you sick?" he teases me.
"Bite me." I growl. He just chuckles and moves to sit beside me.
All the lieutenants I beat up earlier are here, plus Captain Kuchiki of squad 13 and Shunsui. Shunsui moves to sit on my other side. "You ok?" he asks.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Renji said something that made sense. I've hated people for too long, lumping them all together with my father. It's time for me to try to relax a little." I reply simply.
"Then by all means, have a drink." Rangiku says pleasantly, tossing a corked bottle at me. I hope it's better than that stuff Maki Maki gave me...
****Kenpachi POV****
"I'll be back later. I'm gunna go find Wolf." I grumble at Ikkaku before gettin' to my feet.
"Yumichika is at the bar with the others. You might check in and see if he's seen her possibly." he replies. "I'll go get the men settled for the night. Noisy bastards."
"Fine."
I head out into the Seireitei, knowin' where the bar is by heart as many times as I've been out drinkin' with the men. I take one look in the door and smirk. Shunsui's here so he won't let anythin' happen to her but she's plastered. Like a bull in a china shop, tryin' to get to her feet, she falls on her face. "Owie!"
I step in. "The hell'd you do to my woman?" I ask clearly, makin' the place go silent.
"She drank too much, Captain." Yumichika giggles. "She really likes you. She kept saying she should go home and cuddle you or you'd get cranky."
I roll my eyes and cross the room, rollin' her over with my foot gently. "Hey, come on, mutt. You need to go home and get in bed so you ain't causin' trouble."
"Don't wanna." she says before crossin' her arms and poutin'.
"Am I givin' you a choice?"
"Make me. I ish perfectly fine right heres. Theres....where am I?"
I laugh and pick her up. "In trouble is where you are, smart ass."
"I like your ass better. I wanna smack it."
"Captain Zaraki, I apologize. I'm the one that invited her and kept her out. I thought maybe she might like to see that not everyone is bad." Renji says sheepishly. "I didn't realize she likes sake too much."
"Don't worry about it. She needed to get out for a while. No harm done." I say before turnin' and headin' out. "Yumichika, I ain't comin' back for you so you better find another way home if you get drunk."
As we step outside, Harmona snuggles into my chest. "Why you come looking for me?"
"I don't trust you not to get in trouble."
"I not trouble. Peoples is trouble. Bein' a animal is so mush shimpler. No talkin' ta make shomone else hurts. When ya talk, people gets hurt....thasss why daddy always told me ta shut up. He was a mean man but shmart."
"Your dad was a fuckin' asshole."
"He wash right though. Loving shomone makesh you weak and gives you a big target so everyone knowsh where to hitcha. I no wanna make you weak, Pachi. I's bad to have around. Shoon everyone ish gunna know you gots a fing for me and they'll use me to hurts you."
"Tch. As if. I'd have to love you for them to use you to hurt me. Irritate me maybe."
"Ishane wash right."
"About what?"
"You'll never love me. All you love ish fighting. You'll get tired of me and leave once you has enough sex from me."
I stop dead in my tracks. "She said that?"
"Mmhm. I dunno why it bovers me so mush. Nobody has ever loved me before, so why should you?"
That's a good question. One I refuse to answer. I don't know what love is. I know what lust is and I know damn good and well I'm in lust with her. It'd be hard to not be. She's beautiful, strong and doesn't take shit from anybody. When I think about her, my heart beats a little faster and my cock springs to attention. However, I did feel worried earlier when she didn't come home. I continue walkin' til we get home.
I set her on the bed and hold her head. She grins at me. "You so sexy, Pachi. I love looking at you. And you smell just like my mommy did. Like blood and steel...but you also smell like a big oak tree. I thinks I love you."
"No you don't." I say quietly. "You're just with me because you don't know any better."
Her face falls. "See? Words hurt. No more talky tonight, Pachi." She moves, leavin' her uniform on and puttin' her back to the wall before closin' her eyes. "Maybe you'll get lucky and I'll die in my sleep. You deserve better than me. I just a wild animal. Love ish stupid. It gives someone all the power in the world to hurt you."
"You idiot." I sigh before strippin' down to just my boxers and climbin' in bed. I can tell she's sleepin' already, since her breathin' is even. I put my hand to her cheek. "I can't tell you I love you because I haven't told you what happened to your mom. I can't tell you because I don't want you to hate me and go back to bein' a wolf. I don't want you to be a wolf because I made a promise to your mom." I say quietly. "But I think I am fallin' in love with you."
Fuck this shit. Feelin's are for idiots! I've said it to the men plenty of times...but damn if I didn't catch em.
