Ichimaru Gin X Izuru Kira

My Golden

Chapter 1: Smother Me

Izuru Kira was sitting in his office, filling in reports with a really blank, meaningless face. It was already late, but he was way too behind in his reports to leave it till morning. Someone knocked on the door and Kira sighed deeply.

"Come on in..." he called, his eyes locked on his endless mountain of paper that kept coming in daily.

It had been a while since Ichimaru Gin's betrayal. Ever since then Kira had felt odd and depressed, but on top of it he felt anger towards the person he had trusted so much. He also felt like something was missing, a part of him. He shook it all off with the amount of work he had though, since he was taking care of everything after captain Ichimaru's sudden and unexpected "departure".

The door was slid open. Kira raised his head from his papers with a fakeish smile, but saw no one at the door. He warily stood up.

"Who's there?" he called into the darkness of the corridor.

Something moved in the shadows, and Kira's hand grasped his sword. He was barely breathing, carefully listening to the movements of the intruder. All of a sudden, someone behind him seized his arms.

"Izuru, I see you're well."

Kira froze upon hearing this voice. The touch of the two hands holding his arms down, the reiatsu, all of it was familiar. He felt a warm breath on the back of his neck and shivered.

"C-captain..." he shuddered, amazed.

Before he knew, he was turned around to face the man that he had trusted and served till the bitter end. Ichimaru Gin, with that known foxy face, and that mischievous grin. Ichimaru didn't utter a word. Not one single word after leaving without a trace. Kira avoided his gaze, and felt how his left arm was released, and Ichimaru's fingers had rolled his head over to face him again.

"Don'tcha like me no more?" Ichimaru whispered in his ear, making Kira shiver again.

Kira was quite simply speechless, he wasn't sure how to feel. His beloved captain was so close he could feel his breath after being so far out of reach. Kira couldn't help but glare into his captain's eyes.

"I..." he muttered, but was interrupted by Ichimaru that had leaned in to kiss him.

Kira's eyes widened, his body froze and his innards grumbled like a fire would have been lighted in his soul. Ichimaru's hand went up his chest and grabbed his robes, pulling him into a deeper kiss. More shivers went down Kira's spine as Ichimaru's tongue explored every corner of his mouth, but he didn't resist. Even though, he still wasn't sure was he just 'doing as his captain said' or was it just plain right.

Letting go of him, Ichimaru said with a smirk "I see ya dun resist me."

"C-captain," Kira started, but was cut off by his own confused thoughts, he wasn't sure if he was in place to say anything.

Ichimaru looked at him in a little confusion, but after a few seconds of silence he picked Kira up and slammed him against the wall.

"What's wrong with you, captain," he mumbled, blush appearing on his cheeks and feeling Ichimaru's breath on his neck again.

His silver haired captain's hands roughly clinged on Kira's thighs, pushing him mercilessly on the wall and Kira felt how Ichimaru devoured his neck, sucking and nibbling it ferociously. Kira subconsciously let out a tiny whimper and Ichimaru grinned. Suddenly, Ichimaru let Kira's legs go. He was listening to something, something was moving in the corridor.

"Captain, what's happening -" before Kira finished his sentence, Ichimaru's hand had silenced him.

Someone was coming. The steps in the corridor came closer, which caused Ichimaru to take his leave. He stood by the window sill, giving the confused Kira one last grin before disappearing into the night. Kira was left leaning against the wall, taken aback, feeling a bit groggy and surprisingly a bit aroused.

"KIRA-SAAAN~ " a voice called him.

It was Matsumoto Rangiku, the vice-captain of the 10th division unsteadily standing by the door. She was holding onto a bottle of sake, and seemed to be more than a little bit wasted. Kira looked up at her, still looking terrified and confused about what had just happened. Rangiku gave him a glance and smiled at him.

"Kira, why so quiet," she asked him, a hiccup escaping her lips.

"Uh, it's nothing, Rangiku-san, shouldn't you be asleep?" Kira gently asked her, his mind wandering off to Ichimaru Gin.

Rangiku made an attempt to come in from the door, but only managed to trip over. She groaned in frustration and sat up.

"I thought I hic- felt hic- Gin's reiatsu," she staggered, Kira's eyes giving her a weird look as something inside of him moved.

"Captain's? But that's not possible, he couldn't possibly make it to Seireitei," he smiled as Rangiku troublesomely stood up and grabbed him by his collar.

"I'm sure it was Gin! Hic!" she argued, and took support of Kira's shoulders.

"Rangiku-san," Kira began, but Rangiku had passed out right in his arms.

Kira sighed and picked her up, and placed her on his bed. Then he took his place behind the desk, keeping on with his paper work. However, concentration was very difficult due to Ichimaru's sudden visit.

'I wonder how did he get here...' Kira thought, it hadn't seemed like Ichimaru had even alerted anyone within Seireitei.

Kira's mind kept wandering. His captain had just kissed him, grabbed him and pushed him on the wall. He was wondering what might have happened if Rangiku hadn't come. Kira felt like slapping himself, such thoughts about his very own captain he had served with loyalty.

"Gin," Tousen called after his smirking friend.

"Hmm?" Ichimaru stopped on his tracks and looked over his shoulder.

Tousen's overglowing reiatsu told Ichimaru that he was angry about something. Still, he kept smirking rather pleased.

"What's da matter?" he grinned, feeling a little nervous, which was very much unlike him.

"Where were you? It's unusual of you to run off this late in the evening," Tousen stated sternly.

"My o' my, Tousen bein' Mr. Detective again!" Ichimaru chuckled, "wel' Tousen, it's none of ya business."

Tousen's eyebrow twitched and he looked like he was ready to assault Ichimaru any time now. But he was loyal to orders at all costs, so he restrained himself.

"I'll leave it up to you and Aizen," he snorted, dashing past Gin, disappearing behind the corner.

Ichimaru stood alone in the dark. He wasn't sure what for exactly had he snuck in Soul Society, to see his vice-captain he abandoned. Every time he thought of Izuru Kira, something inside of him felt warm and nostalgic. He missed his vice-captain. The time they had spent together. To think of it, Kira had always had his back. No matter what came, he'd always have Kira. Ichimaru shook his head, whispering 'no' to himself, thinking it was impossible for him to feel guilt about what he had done. He took off, the next obstacle he'd need to face was Aizen Sousuke.

The morning sun was rising, lighting the Seireitei. And blinding Izuru Kira's eyes. He mumbled something obscure and rubbed his eyes on his sleeve. Unbelievable, he had fallen asleep on his desk, and Matsumoto seemed to be gone.

"Was that...just a dream," he muttered, feeling a little disappointed. 'What in the heavens is this feeling...'

His thinking was cut off by a hell butterfly that landed on his shoulder.

"A vice-captains' meeting eh...what a pain, I need to delay these papers even more," he groaned and fixed his robes, then left.

Kira arrived at the vice-captain's meeting on time. He took a seat around the table, glancing at Rangiku, she was looking terribly hung over, but he wondered why had she showed up at all since usually she tended to stay away from the meetings either drinking or recovering. She seemed troubled though. Maybe she remembered something about last evening, and the fact she HAD indeed felt Ichimaru Gin's reiatsu. Those two grew up together, how could they not recognize each other's powers.

"Kira-kun?" a tiny voice called, Kira turned his head to his left, his blonde hair tilting a little.

"Hinamori-san?" he replied.

"You seem troubled, and I thought...well, do you want to talk about it?" Hinamori shyly said, keeping it down so the rest couldn't hear her from their own conversations.

Kira smiled a bit skeptically, then gave it a laugh, "Hinamori-san, I just had a long night with my reports, it's alright."

Hinamori looked down at her hands that tangled around her pants, she felt embarrassed for asking a question and realising she was actually wrong when assuming such a thing. Still she just wasn't quite convinced, Kira seemed shifty and nervous about something.

Finally everyone had arrived, Abarai Renji had received some complaints from Sasakibe for being five minutes late and everyone was sat down.

"Vice-captain Sasakibe, may I say something," Rangiku demanded, still seeming a little unwell.

"What is it," Sasakibe stared at her.

"Last night, I thought I felt something odd in Seireitei, an intruder," she began, flicking her hair back, "I think someone was sneaking around within the quarters."

Kira's stomach turned upside down when he heard Rangiku's words. What an unbelievable woman, she'd just betray Gin like they never knew each other. Even though that was precisely what Ichimaru had done - betrayed them all. Yet Kira's loyalty remained, like a dog's.

"I see... but what's the evidence?" vice-captain Sasakibe kept glaring at Rangiku, whom now seemed a little uneasy, what proof did she have?

"To be honest I felt a strange presence in Seireitei last evening, something that didn't belong," it was Isane Kotetsu, vice-captain of the 4th division that had spoke up.

There was some nods and a little chatter. Kira started feeling extremely edgy over all of this.

"Kira, wasn't it you, who was closest to that reiatsu that had appeared in Seireitei?" Rangiku said, raising an eyebrow, trying to remember what had happened.

Kira felt all the eyes in the meeting room devouring him. Should he just turn his back on his captain, and be loyal to Soul Society and the Gotei 13, or remain loyal to the captain that had left him behind?

"I...didn't see anyone," Kira muttered, looking at the edge of the table, avoiding the gazes of curiosity, "besides, are you sure you didn't imagine things while being drunk, vice-captain?"

Kira looked up at Rangiku, she was glaring at him, looking a little taken aback.
