Hi! It's my second fanfict . English is not my mother language, so I'm sorry for the spelling & grammar mistakes… I'll try to improve my English, so don't be too strict :p.
Well, It's a Byakuya&Renji story with a lot of stupidity and fluff. Nothing serious ^^. Please review if you have some time. Hope you'll like it. Have fun!
I do not own Bleach….etc.
Chapter One
Urahara Kisuke was visibly surprised when he saw the Captain of the 6th Squad, who was patiently waiting in front of his shop in one cold Friday evening.
" Evening! Evening, Kuchiki-taichou!" he said happily as he approached the man.
Byakuya nodded, his face ignorant as ever as he stood there, like a living statue. A few stray cats circuled around his legs, occasionally rubbing themselfs to his hakama. The sight was quite funny…
" I assume you were informed that I will be visiting the Living World, Urahara-san."
Byakuya stated with a slight warning in his monotonous voice, while trying to kick away a black cat, who desperately wanted to climb up inside his hakama pants. The owner of the shop chuckled, flipping his trademark fan happily, causing the noble to narrow his steel-grey eyes.
" Hai, hai, hai! Of course… I was really surprised when I heard about it. I never thought that you, of all people will come to visit me. I'm truly honoured… Oooh?! It looks like she really loves you".
He pointed to the black cat clinging on the relatively calm Byakuya's haori. The head of the Kuchiki clan wasn't that amazed.
" Then, could you explain why I had to wait here for more then 20 hours until you came? I took for certain they told you the exact time when I will arrive."
" Ah, sure I was told… But running a shop is really troublesome, you know. There were some urgent matters I needed to take care of first. I'm terribly sorry." He said merrily, while searching for the keys.
Byakuya wasn't convinced at all. He was sure, Urahara simply let him wait to annoy him. It worked, but of course he won't give the satisfaction to mention it.
" Come inside, Kuchiki-taichou! I've already prepared your gigai… But please, leave your little friends outside." the blonde said and waited for Byakuya to got rid of the meawing team, and than led the silent noble to the room.
" Please take a seat. Would you like some tea?"
" Thank you."
As he waited for the tea, he quickly scanned his surroundings. The room was simple and clean. It made him a bit calmer, but he still held a grudge against the man for letting him wait in front of his shop all day… At least those annoying cats weren't there. Those animals reminded him of another disturbing creature he loathed from the bottom of his heart. Shihouin Yoruichi… The name gave a bad taste in his mouth. Fortunately – and thanks to his good relationship with a certain pink-haired troublemaker – he managed to avoid the unpleasent meeting with said woman. Kisuke entered the room, and placed a delicious smelling cup of green tea in font of his guest. He took a seat as well, and curiously stared at the black haired man.
" You really changed over the years I last saw you. How many years had that been?… Hmmm, lets see…"
" I didn't come here to talk about my apperence, Urahara-san."
" Aaah, you're sooo cold!" he winced, earning a cold glare.
"Ahem… So, if I may ask, what was the reason you decided to visit the Living World, Kuchiki-taichou?"
" The apperent increasing of the Hollow attacks caused a worry in Seireitei. Yamamoto-soutaichou thought it will be reassuring if a captain-class shinigami would temporary stay in the Living World to help prevent the further looses."
" Aah, I see… And of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that poor Rukia-san has a flu, right?"
"Of course not." Byakuya gave him his best death glare as he answered. The owner smiled innocently and slipped his tea.
*****
Ichigo blinked in disbelieve, as he found himself face to face with the most famous captain of the Gotei 13 standing in the entrence of the Kurosaki house. If it wasn't shocking enough, the man was even wearing black jeans with a trendy white belt and a dark blue sweater. His indispensable light blue scarf was hanging around his neck, and he made the most annoyed expression Ichigo ever saw on the noble's face.
" B-Byakuya?!"
" Your observing ability is impressive as always, Kurosaki Ichigo." He said as he bent down to pick up a black cat, who tested the sharpness of her nails on his new shoes. Ichigo just stared at them impassively.
" 'The fucking hell are you doin' here in the middle of the night?" he asked in a tired voice. He was in his jumpers and white shirt, and he looked extremely sleepy. Byakuya put down the cat, but it climbed back immadiately, using the long scarf. The noble decided he would simply ignore the persistent creature, who settled down on his shoulder. He hated cats…
" Obviously not to listen your barbarian language, Kurosaki Ichigo. I came to see Rukia. Urahara-san said she is currently staying in your house."
" Yeah, she's upstairs in Yuzu's room. She caught a cold or somethin', but she acts like she's gonna die in every fuckin' second…" he yawned and scretched the back of his head.
"Kurosaki Ichigo. I think I must warn you to speak with more respect about my sister. I wish to see her. Lead me to her room."
Ichigo growled. Byakuya's high-and-mighty behavior annoyed the crap out of him. What the fuck he thinks of himself banging on his door in the middle of the night, demanding to let him in? The hell he will!
" Listen, she's all right, okay? You can't just come and march into my house. And if you think---"
" Bichigo?" Rukia's head appeared in the doorway. Byakuya quirked a fine eyebrow at the interesting name her sister chose to adress the orange-haired boy… Her eyes immadietly widened when she saw the gigolo-looking figure next to her friend.
" Bii-sama?!... B-but…"
" Rukia."
She looked weary. She was abnormaly pale, her eyes were shining from a fever and she had to open her mouth to be able to breath properly. Byakuya became worried.
" Hey! What's with the noise down there?" Isshin appeard, wearing nothing just his white boxers with red heart-shaped patterns. It was his favorite. Rukia blushed and turned away, while Byakuya frowned.
" Huh? Who's the pretty-boy?"
*****
A few minutes later they were all sitting in the dinning room in an uncomfortable silence. After Rukia managed to convice his brother that Ichigo's father wasn't a pervert, and it's not necessery to punish him for his unacceptable apperence of his own house, they settled down, facing each other. Byakuya sat between Rukia and Ichigo, with the sleeping black cat on his lap.
" Son… Care to explain who's this suspicius looking gentleman with that adorable kitten in my house?" Isshin started, while eyeing the stranger with narrowed eyes and furrowed brows. Ichigo sighed and opened his mouth to speak, but Rukia was faster.
" Please, don't be angry, Gurosagi-san! *cough, cough* He's my beloved brother, Byabuya. We run away home and he was forced to work as a *cough* host in the night club, *cough* and at daytime he led the local male-choir to be able to take care of his little sister *cough, cough*."
" We became separated, because of some loan-sharks tryed to kidnap me *cough*. I thought my brother was in the bottom of the river now, with a hugh anchor on his legs, and *cough, cough*… I'm so glad he's alive! BII-SAMA!" and with that she threw herself in his brother's „waiting" embrace, praying that Byakuya will forgive her act later.
Byakuya caugh his adopted sister by reflex, but his body immadietly stiffened. He wasn't sure about the meaning of 'host' and 'night club', but the 'male-choir' sounded slightly disturbing… The story about kidnapping, and he being thrown to a river with that… something attached to his legs was simply ridiculous. And the fact that she misspelt his name was nearly unforgivable…. Ichigo's eyes widened as he gaped like a fish, waiting for Byakuya to murder his family&Rukia. To his relief, it didn't came. Lil'old Byakuya bacame soft… Anyway, there was no way his father would fall for that shit…
" I understand!" to Ichigo's utter horror, the gorilla-like man appeard in front of the noble, patting his shoulder with a serious expression on his face.
" I'm proud of you son! You're the embodiment of brotherly love." Byakuya was restraining himself from slicing the man to tiny little pieces with Senbonzakura. But thanks to the fact that Rukia weakly clinged to his arm - an attempt to stop him – shivering with fever and coughing, he endured the closeness of the half-naked man. Ichigo sweatdroped…
" You can stay in this house as long as you want, Byabuya-kun. I, Kurosaki Isshin will protect you and your sister with my life!" Ichigo's mind cracked, and the next moment he kicked the man, causing him to fly across the room. Byakuya began to understand where did Kurosaki Ichigo ruthless behavior come from…
" Hoy, Byakuya! Lets bring back Rukia to her room…"
And for once, Byakuya didn't oppose and simply followed the teen upstairs…
*****
" So they think I can't handle a bunch of weak hollows, right? What the hell's wrong with the old man? It sucks!"
Ichigo complained, as he fall into his bad tiredly. Byakuya was standing at the doorway, eyeing the strange object in the table. Renji told him about the misterious package. 'You have to put a plastic stick in it, then you can drink the colourful juice…Hmm, but why did they have to use such a difficult methode?' He didn't even hear the teen was calling his name.
"…kuya! Will you be so nice to lower yourself to actually listen, when someone is talking to you, DAMN IT!"
" Kurosaki Ichigo. I assume you that there is no problem with my ears, so there is no need for you to rise your voice."
" ICHIGOOO!"
A flying animal throw itself at the teen, who simply caugh it with a death grip, throw it down to the floor, and then unceremoniously stepped on it's face. Byakuya brought his hand to his jaw, as he observed a strange creature.
" Shut up, Kon! I'm too tired for your idiocy right now…"
" HOW DARE YOU TRATE A CUTE, INNOCENT AND ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE PLUSH ANIMAL LIKE ME THAT WAY, HAAAAAAA???????"
" Interesting…" Byakuya said with a serious tone. Renji told him about that artifical soul in a plush lion as well. Said creature turned to stare at the long-haired man.
" Who's that? And where's my Rukia? Aaaaah, those soft hills of Paradise…."
" You fuckin--- Huh?" They all looked at the direction of the nearby park. Not much later, they heared the unmistakable cry of a Hollow.
" Kurosaki Ichigo."
" Yeah… I know. "
After they changed to their shinigami form, they disappeared into the night. Kon - who was now in Ichigo's body - grinned maliciously.
"Kukuku. Now I can visit my poor, little Rukia-neesan. She must be sooo lonely. Nee-san, I'm commin'!"
"Umm, excuse me… I don't think it will be a good idea. Ichigo-kun will be angry." said a shy voice.
Kon turned to the speaker's direction. 'Byakuya' was standing there, hands behind his back, and he was looking at the orange-head with wide, innocent eyes. Kon blinked. Byakuya blinked back. Then Kon brust out laughing.
"Are you all right?" The black-haired man asked, with great consern in his voice. It made Kon to laugh harder.
It was the situation, when Renji appeared in the open window, panting heavily. As he spotted his taichou, he began to bow and apologize.
"I'm really sorry taichou… Urahara-san didn't tell me about you commin', and I was too absorbed in my trainin', but when I went up for a snack I sensed your reiatsu, and then Tessai-san told me that you're in Ichigo's place, so I rushed here as fast as I could, but then some Hollow appeared and… I'm sorry!"
As he finished, he waited for his punishment. When it didn't come, he uncertainly peeked up. Byakuya was staring at him with wide-eyed surprise. Something was wrong with this sight…
"A Hollow!"
Renji's head immediately cleared, when he heard Kon cry out. He jumped to the top of the roof and waited for the Hollow. The other two ran to the window and watched as the red-head easily killed his opponent. 'Hmph! It was nothing…' Renji put away his sword with a content grin.
"It's okay now. It was just a weakling. Don't worry taichou, Ichigo will take care of the rest."
His taichou was staring up at him. Lips parted in amazement, and his gaze held so much admiration, the red-haired shinigami suddenly felt dizzy. The pink flush on Byakuya's perfect face didn't helped eighter. And he looked absolutely stunning in those human clothes, black hair falling to his pale face... Renji gulped.
"Uh… T-taichou?"
"That was… beautiful… You were amazing, Renji-kun…"
Renji fainted…
