Chapter 1: The unexpected guests
Hi Guys, this is the sequel to the story 'The Interesting yet Traumatic Life of Rose Bentley. If you have not read that then I suggest you do as there are some references in here to events that happened in that story.
Warning: Lemon
The woman sitting at Shunsui Kyoraku's desk in his office lifted one of the many papers that were scattered across the desk in order to read the elegant print on the paper. A courier had just dropped the papers off and the woman felt no harm in reading them now. With a sigh she reclined further back in the desk chair and started to read.
Results of the Shin'o Academy entrance exam
Name: Rose Harriet Bentley
Result: PASS
All new students will report to the Shinto Academy on Sunday the 14th of September for orientation. Please present yourself at the reception desk at 14:00 PM.
Rose sighed and put down the sheet of paper. Approximately three weeks ago she had sat the academy entrance exam and by the looks of it had also passed it. Shunsui had been very encouraging in his own way. 'Of course you are going to pass Rose. Yama-jii is only making you sit this exam as a formality. He already knows that your reiatsu level is high enough to enter the academy so please stop worrying.' He had said every time she had started to worry about the exam. And now it seemed that he was right.
There were still several more letters waiting to be read so Rose straightened up again and picked up the next paper in the small pile.
Rules of the Academy
All Students will respect their peers.
The use Kido, Hakudo and Zanpakuto/Katana in the hallways is prohibited
No student is allowed to carry their Katana/ Zanpakuto with them at any time within the academy grounds, unless the student is participating in patrol.
Only sixth year students are allowed to have a Katana.
All students must attend their classes. If a student is absent they must present a valid excuse to the reception. If student has three unexplained absences the necessary people will be informed and the student will be punished.
All students must wear the academy uniform while on Academy grounds. This however, excluded the residential area of the academy.
Students living outside of the academy
All students living outside of the academy must arrive at the academy in time for their first lesson.
All students living outside the academy must arrive wearing the academy uniform.
All students living outside of the academy must bring the necessary equipment and supplies with them to the academy and leave them in their personal locker located inside the administrative building.
The rule list went on and on, listing all the rules for student living in the residential area. Most of the rules were self-explanatory but Rose could not help but smile when she saw the rule saying that no student is allowed a personal maid or any other household servant. It was mainly because of these 'ridiculous rules concerning servants' that most of the students from noble families decided to living at home and travel to the academy for the day. It had been very quickly decided between Rose and Shunsui that she would continue to live with him and then travel to the academy for the day. Shunsui had said at the time that he did not like the idea of her being away from him. However, Rose knew the real reason which was that he did not want her anywhere near the 'barbaric, unclean and wild boys who are overflowing with sexual desire and might take advantage of her." She always thought it a bit rich of him to criticize the academy boys since he was always full of sexual desire. But still, it made her smile that he wanted to be selfish with her and keep her to himself.
With another sigh Rose looked out the window behind her. Even by mid-afternoon the sun was still scorching hot and many Shinigami had loosened the collar to their shihakushō ever so slightly in order to catch a little air. Rose considered herself lucky that she had chosen to wear a simple light blue yukata that day. Wearing black on a day like this must be torture. Because the day was so hot all of the windows had been thrown open and, as a consequence of this, Rose was able to hear the sound of the distant advance sword class going on. Curiously she shifted her chair until she was facing the window and stared out of it. In the distance she could see the members of the advanced sword class all in neat rows with their Zanpakuto out and facing their teacher, who happened to be the Taicho of the eighth division. Although Shunsui was very lazy when it came to paperwork he was considerably active in teaching his subordinates. Nanao had signed him up to teach the advanced swords and Hakudo classes and he had only agreed to teach them so long as it did not coincide with his naps. With that being the case the classes were held in the afternoon.
For a moment Rose left a hint of sorrow for the people in the class as it must be difficult training in such heat. By the looks of it Shunsui had removed his pink kimono and haori so he was just left in his black shihakushō. Nothing look more deliciously sexy in Rose's opinion than Shunsui in his black shihakushō. Although she was too far away to see it, she knew that his muscles would be contradicting wonderfully underneath his clothes with every graceful swing of his duo Zanpakuto. Just watching him was turning her on ever so slightly. Rose stared out of the window and started to contemplate her life so far in the Soul Society. A little over a month had passed since Rose return to the Soul Society and everything was going wonderfully. She had gained the respect and in some cases the friendship of most of the members of the eighth and thirteenth division. Nobody whispered behind her back about how inadequate she was to be in a relationship with Shunsui, in fact they now supported her. And in the case of Maya, well, Rose ignored her and vice versa. They would now only acknowledge each other when they had to. At least now Maya knew that her chanced of stealing Shunsui away from Rose was very, very slim. In fact she was more likely to become Soutaicho then end up dating him.
Rose put her head down on the window sill and dozed. Shunsui had kept her up last night with another round of amazing sex. The two of them rarely went 12 hours without having sex at least once. Every day with Shunsui was different and would take her breath away. Sure he would drive her up the wall with his sometimes childlike behaviour, his laziness, his drinking (but never to the point where he was black out drunk) and his flirting. But even then he was still amazing and everything she ever wanted in a man. And his sex, oh man, she could still picture in vivid detail what the two of them had done the night before. So delicious.
"Have I told you how beautiful you look today?" The warm, deep baritone voice washed over Rose like delicate silk and made her shiver ever so slightly. Shunsui chuckled at her reaction causing his warm breath to caress her skin. He was standing so close to her that she could sense his body heat and when he wrapped his arms around her waist she could not help but sigh in pleasure.
"Hmm you told me how beautifully I looked this morning." She replied while leaned further back into his embrace.
"What, only this morning? A crime like that should never be committed as your beauty should always be proclaimed. Every second on every day." He bent down and started to nuzzle her neck.
"Not here Shunsui." Smiled Rise as she tried to supress a gasp and push him away at the same time. She hated the effect he had on her body and for that reason she had forbidden him from doing any 'public displays of affection' as she feared they would get carried away. But Shunsui always enjoyed pushing the limits. Just the other day he had grabbed her while she was walking to out of his office and kissed her senseless in front of everybody. Before that the two of them had made love behind a small tea shop while Ukitake waited inside for them, completely oblivious to what they were doing. What could she say? All he had to do was look at her with those dark, lust filled eyes and she was his. Nanao had also been very specific when she had told them that if she ever walking in on them having sex in the office she would be 'most displeased'. And so Shunsui had been forced to wait until either of them were not in the office or in public before he could try anything with Rose. Rose found it hilarious watching Shunsui pout and beg her to leave the office early just so that he could have sex with her. It was rather adorable.
"Then we should leave now as my want for you is driving me crazy. All day I have thought of you…and me doing naughty things." Murmured Shunsui seductively in Rose's ear making her groan ever so quietly. He always used that voice when he had plans to do incredibly sinful things to her. It was a voice that promised hours of incredible pleasure.
Ever since Rose's return the two of them had been unable to go more than 12 hours without sex. In the morning Shunsui would wake her up with sex and then at night they would 'kiss' each other goodnight. The morning sex was always slow and sweet while the evening sex was always hot, heavy and sweaty. During the weekend Shunsui would never stop and simply ravish her until neither of them could move. They were both consumed by a never ending lust and passion for the other. They needed sex or else they would go insane with want.
Although Rose really wanted to leave the office and then spend the evening doing unspeakable things she still had some filling to finish. She had told Nanao earlier that dya that she would have finished categorizing the less sensitive documents from the 8th division archives. The Gotei 13 was trying to centralise all the archive information, which had previously been spread out across all the divisions, in order to make doing research easier. In the past collecting information had been a long and arduous task as one was expected to visit every single division just to get all the information required on one subject. So to make mattered easier, the Soutaicho had ordered that all the documents be sent to the first division. The archives were open to everybody who resided in the Seireitei. But of course, sensitive information would be locked away from the public eyes until it was deemed safe enough to be declassified. The centralisation of the archives was a huge project that demanded a lot of time and effort. Because Rose now had to work in the eighth division as part of her agreement with the Soutaicho, she had been put on the team responsible for the organisation and transport of the eighth division's archival information. However, as she was not a licenced Shinigami (and had no authority to look at the more sensitive information) she had been assigned to sort out the documents in section B of the eighth division archives. The documents there were rather dull and uninformative, such as the division roster for the last 1,000 years, order forms for sake, food, weapons and equipment and mission reports so old that the pages they had been written on had turned yellow. The job was dull and time consuming but somebody had to do it. At least she got paid to do it.
"I'm sorry Shunsui but I have to finish my work before we can go home." Explained Rose
"But you can just do it later. Come on, the work day ended like five minutes ago. Which means that I am five minutes late ravishing your body."
"I'm sorry but I promised Ise-Fukutaicho that I would have finished this pile by Monday." Rose indicated to the huge pile of carefully stacked papers beside Shunsui's desk. "I'm sorry but I can't leave with it not finished. Anyway I only have a few more papers to organize before we can go. It will only take a few minutes." She turned around to face Shunsui. He was only wearing his black Shihakushō and his hair looked even more dishevelled that usual, with a few stands coming lose from its usual ponytail and sticking to his face. The late afternoon sun shone through the window and made the sweat beads on his face glisten. Of course he was only sweating because of the heat and not because he had been doing any strenuous activities. Shunsui could lead several advanced Zanjutsu classes without even breaking a sweat. Even though he looked a little dishevelled it only made him look sexier. Damn him!
Shunsui exhaled. "Fine, I will wait. Also, I am curious about what had you so distracted a few moments ago."
Rose raised her eyebrow. "What makes you think that I was distracted?"
"You did not even notice my arrival until I was standing right behind you."
Rose pointed towards the desk. "I got a letter from the academy informing me that I had passed the entrance exam and that I have to go to the academy in a few days for orientation. But I don-." Shunsui silenced her with a kiss on her lips.
"I have always fantasied about sleeping with an academy student. Congratulations Rose." He kissed her again, longer and more passionate this time. Rose groaned and ran her hands up his back, feeling his hard muscles under her fingers.
"Well I hope I live up to your fantasies." Said Rose after the two of them had broken apart.
"Oh trust me anything that involves you is more than enough to make me wanting."
"Wanting?"
"Oh yes. All I have to do is think of you in cute little panties and I am left wanting you. Wanting to push you down onto the bed and remove you underwear with my teeth and then taste your delicate sweetness with my tongue over and over again." Rose gasped a little at Shunsui words and tried very hard to supress the growing need within her. As mentioned before all he had to do was say a few things and she was his. And to show her his need, Shunsui grinded his hips against hers. Rose could feel his growing arousal which only made her want him more.
"Come one Rose let's go home." Again Shunsui was using his sinfully good seductive tone. Rose was too far gone to argue this time. It was always the same, he just had to touch her in a certain way and she was putty in his hands.
"Yes." She murmured in a lustful tone.
Shunsui beamed and picked her up bridal style before shunpooing the two of them back to his quarters for some much needed sex.
There were storm clouds coming in from the east at a terrifyingly fast pace. Rose could see the lightning within the clouds followed by the loud boom of thunder. A storm was approaching and if Shunsui did not hurry up he would be caught in it. Both Shunsui and Nanao had been called out to different meetings that afternoon leaving Rose alone in the office to twiddle her thumbs in boredom. It was almost five o'clock (the end of the workday) and Rose was considering leaving the office early as she had nothing better to do. Maybe she could head back to Shunsui's quarters and bake a batch of lemon cupcakes? She had ones tried cooking for him, but it had turned out disastrous. He had laughed and said that although she could bake like a goddess her cooking skills were somewhat lacking to put it politely. Ever since then Shunsui had been the one to do all the cooking, which he did not mind as he saw it as an opportunity to woo his woman. And it always worked much to his joy.
Rose was about to walk out the door when a young female division member came bursting through the door.
"I am sorry to interrupt Rose but one of the secretaries asked me to warn you that-that…they are coming." The woman shivered in obvious fear. Rose did not know whether to laugh or not as the sight was rather comical. Most of the division members had started to treat Rose with respect and many had started to become her friend. They had seen that their Taicho could not live without Rose and so they had come to accept her. Plus it was hard to hate the woman that supplied you with delicious cupcakes every now and then. Usually on a Friday afternoon Rose would spend several hours in the eighth division kitchen cooking a large patch of cupcakes for the division. The corridors would smell of delicious baked goods and sometime she would have to physically stop some more eager division members from entering the kitchen before her baking was done. Baking was sacred to her, a calming ritual that if broken meant death to that person. Shunsui found it very entertaining, but even he did not dare bother her while she baked.
"And who would this terrifying…being be?" smiled Rose in the hopes of calming the terrified division member.
"Taicho's family." Said the division member with hide eyes.
"Shunsui's family?" Shunsui very rarely talking about his family and Rose never pushed him to. He had once mentioned that his older brother had taken over as head of the family from his father a few decades ago and was currently one of the head nobles in Central 46. The Kyoraku family was a very rich and powerful family. Although they were not as powerful as the four noble families their influence was still phenomenal. Having a high ranking seat in central 46 only enforced their power. Rose had also heard from Shunsui that he rarely saw eye to eye with his older brother and father. Being of high nobility would usually mean that a person also had extremely powerful reiatsu, however, Shunsui was the only person in his close family to have powerful reiatsu. Both his father and brother was practically reiatsu-less, only having enough to counteract the low levels emitted throughout the Seireitei. His mother, on the other hand had an average amount of reiatsu, however, it was still downright impressive that Shunsui had been born with such high level reiatsu. There was also one thing that he told her before ending the conversation, which was that if she was to ever come across any off his family she was to send word for him immediately. She had always been curious as to why he asked her to do that.
The sound of footsteps informed them that the visitors were close "Hori-san, could you please send word to Shunsui that his family has come to visit him at his office and please have a pot of tea sent in. We do not want our guests to think that we are uncivil baboons." Asked Rose while heading towards the coffee table. She was curious, and a little nervous, to meet his parents and really wanted to make a good impressions of herself. The division member bowed a headed towards the door. However before she could open the door it was thrown open and three rather impressively dress people walked into the room.
"I see Shunsui is still incapable of cleaning up after himself." Declared a man with long black hair (with streaks of grey) which was neatly tied back in a ponytail and cold silver eyes. Rose assumed that his person was Shunsui's father. He wore a grey kimono with a pattern of silver dragons on it with a lighter grey sash tied around his waist. Everything about this man screamed nobleman.
"I heard that his second in command was neat and orderly, but I guess I heard wrong. If only he had been brought up differently." replied the only women in the trio. Her hair was almost exactly like Shunsui's, except a shade or two lighter. She wore a light blue Kimono with bright, colourful flowers and a bright pink sash. In Rose's mind she would have looked pretty if she had not be scrunching her nose up in disgust.
"Don't blame yourself, mother, you tried everything you could but Shunsui just cannot be controlled." Said the last man in the group who Rose assumed was Shunsui's brother. He was almost the exact opposite to Shunsui. His hair was short and black but his eyes were the same shade of brown, only not a kind and as gently. He wore a black kimono and a white Haori with the insignia of central 46 sewn onto the back.
Rose looked towards the startled division member and nodded her head, allowing the terrified woman to carry out her orders. The woman bowed and ran out the room without looking back. Rose took and deep breathe and then addressed her guests.
"Good afternoon." She bowed her head in greeting. "To what do we owe this unexpected meeting?" She looked up at the guests and saw that they were looking at her with disgust.
"And who are you?" questioned Shunsui's father in a voice full of distain.
"Do not bother asking her name, Father, that is Rose Bentley, the woman Shunsui is currently seeing." Sneered Shunsui's brother.
Rose bit her inner cheek to prevent herself from replying. How dare that man address her as such! But she already had much experience with snobbish nobles and knew that ignoring their taunts was the best way to go about dealing with them as starting a conflict was simply not worth it.
"Oh I see. You…woman are you not going to offer us refreshments?" snapped Shunsui's mother.
"My apologies Ma'am, I will inquire as to what is taking the tea so long." Rose successfully managed to keep the bitterness out of her voice. "In the meantime please make yourself comfortable." She pointed towards the sofa. "I am sorry but Shun…Kyoraku Taicho is currently unavailable at the moment. But I am sure that he will be along shortly." Rose headed towards the door in the hopes of escaping bit a voice stopped her.
"Stay." She turned around and saw that it was the father who had spoken. "We came all the way here to speak to you so please do not run off." There was coldness to his voice.
Rose really did not want to hand around these people much longer but leaving them would only make matters worse. Her only hope was that Shunsui arrived soon to save her from his family. Slowly she made her way towards the sofa and sat facing the guests.
"Now…Rose Bentley…tell us what are your motivation for seeing my son. Is it money? Power?" Questioned the mother.
Rose was just about the open her mouth when the brother interrupted. "Now, now Mother aren't her motivations obvious. She wants his money, just like all the other women he has picked up in the past. I am just surprised that he kept her this long. I wonder, Rose Bentley, are you really that good at blowing my brother's dick?" Shunsui's brother's face broke out into a terrible, sneer that made Rose want to hit him. Not only had he spoken for her, but he had also implied that she was a gold digger. The nerve of him.
"Sachi please do not use just language in the presence of your mother." Said Shunsui's father in a disapproval tone.
Sachi looked at his father. "My apologies, father." There was a knock at the door.
"Please enter." Said Rose in a gentle voice which did not reflect how she felt inside. The door opened and in walked a division member carrying a tray with a pot of tea and four mugs on it. The division member looked at Rose with sorrow in her eyes, before placing the tray down on the coffee table and making a hasty retreat.
Rose picked up the tea pot and poured tea into the four mugs. "My motives for seeing your son are simple. He loves me and I love him, that is all there is too it." She placed the mugs of tea in front of her guests before taking a generous sip from her own mug. The warm liquid soothed her tense muscles and calm her mind ever so slightly. She would survive this meeting if she did not let what these despicable people say get to her. But still, WHO THE FUCK DID THEY THINK THEY WERE!? They had no right to march into Shunsui's office and claim that she was a common whore and a gold digger. Noble or not that was considered rude. No wonder Shunsui did not speak about his family to anyone.
A cruel laughter rang around the room. "Love you say? Ha! Please do not treat us like ignorant peasants. We know woman like you. You come along and claim that you 'love' the noble rich man in front of you, but then you leave the moment you get your hands on his money. It is disgraceful! Have you no dignity in your life? How dark and cruel your soul must be." Said Shunsui's mother in a tone that made Rose growl ever so silently.
"But it's understandable, Mother." Said Sachi while picking up his mug of tea and whipping it with a silk cloth. "We, at central 46 heard all about it but it is unlikely that the news reached the nobles."
"Oh and what would that be'"
"She was apparently a common human whore before she was first taken to the Soul Society. Apparently men from all classes in the Human world could purchase her services and do whatever they wanted to her. That being the case it is understandable why she would target Shunsui. Once a whore, always a whore. But I would have thought that you would have changed the way you acted after coming to the Soul Society."
Rose brought her mug of tea down onto the table with a little more force than was necessary. "I am no common whore, but you are partially right. In my past life I was sold for sex but it was against my consent. I was a child sex slave being used by Kurosawa for his own twisted desires. I am not targeting Shunsui and I do not want his money."
"So you admit to having men pay you for services. This is even worse than we thought, Kazushi, and the worst part is that she admits it. At least the woman in Shunsui's past never admitted to wanting his money." Said Shunsui's mother.
"Agreed Yae. And I thought I had seen it all. Shunsui has slept with whores before, but at least he had the sense to never sleep with a whore and a gold digger at the same time." Kazushi Kyoraku shot his head.
"I am not a gold digger or a whore." Snapped Rose.
"Do not use that tone against my father!" Shouted Sachi.
Rose glared at Sachi as silence descended in the room. It was also suspiciously quiet outside the office, signalling that the secretaries were either eavesdropping or had run for it. But it did not matter whether anybody was eavesdropping in on the conversation or not as news of Shunsui family arriving at the eighth division to speak to his lover would most likely spread throughout the Seireitei like wild fire. Hell the gossip might reach Shunsui before the hell butterfly the division member sent to him did.
"A girl like yourself should show more respect to people like us." Said Sachi after an awkward pause.
"A girl like me?"
"Peasant girls like yourself should know her place and show more respect to nobles like us. Even the brats that come out of the Rukongai know their place. But you, you are even lower than them. Filth that is what we call you. A filthy, dirty whore with no true meaning to your despicable lif-." Sachi words were cut off by the sound of china smashing.
In her anger Rose had slammed her mug of tea don on the coffee table with enough force that it smashed in her hands. Tea and drops of blood slowly trickled off the coffee table and onto the floor as silence descended across the room. Rose was so angry. Sachi had called her all the worst possible names imaginable, and the worst part was that he had been right. When she had been a sex slave her life had no true meaning. All she had done day after day was either spreading her legs for another customer or lying on a bed awaiting Kurosawa's next cruel experiment. She had been a whore, a worthless whore with no meaning to her life. Hot angry tears started to fill her eyes but she willed them not to fall. It would only show Sachi that his words had really hurt her.
The door to the office flew open with a loud bang. All heads turned and saw a rather dishevelled and out of breathe Shunsui panting in the doorway. "Mother, Father…Sachi, what are you doing here?" There was a hint of accusation in his tone.
"You have finally arrived." stated Kazushi Kyoraku while shooting his son a cold look.
Shunsui chose to ignore his father comment and marched right up to where Rose was sitting.
"Rose?" He crouched down next to her and saw that her hand was bleeding. "You're bleeding." Slowly he reached out and gently took her hand in his. She hissed ever so silently causing him to look at her in concern. He could see the tears brimming in her eyes which made him see red. What had his family said to her that would make her cry?
"Don't act so concerned Shunsui the silly girl did it to herself." Stated Yae Kyoraku in a nonchalant voice.
"But what did you say to her that caused her to react in such a way?" hissed Shunsui with barely contained anger. He hated seeing Rose cry and right now all he wanted to do was hug her tightly to his chest and whisper words of comfort. But firstly he needed to know what had been said so that he could do some damage control. It was so typical of his family to leave him with the clean-up.
"No need to sound so angry Shunsui. We just informed her of our opinions on your relationship." Said Sachi before taking a sip of his tea. An act done to hide his smirk.
Shunsui looked between his family and Rose and was able to put two and two together. His family's judgement was always very cruel and he felt terrible for not arriving sooner.
"Rose are you ok?" He asked her in a quiet voice. He desperately wanted to know that she was ok.
Rose removed her hand from Shunsui's grasp and stood up slowly. "I will be fine shun-Kyoraku Taicho." She said in a weak tone. "I will take me leave, sir." She bowed, ignoring Shunsui frown at being addressed so formally before turning around and walking out the room.
Shunsui stared at the door in silence trying very hard to control his anger. Rose had sounded so vulnerable and hurt before taking her leave. It tore at his heart to know that she was so hurt.
"Well at least the girl has some manners. I thought that she was a hopeless case, but I guess I was wrong." Said Yae Kyoraku.
"You have no idea what you have done." Said Shunsui quietly.
"What was that?"
"I said that you have no idea what you have just done!" shouted Shunsui.
"Now, now Shunsui no need to get all dramatic I am sure the girl will be fine." Said Kazushi Kyoraku.
"What did you say to her?" asked Shunsui silently in a tone full of anger.
"The truth."
"Which was."
"That a common whore like herself should not be interacting with people like us." Said Sachi with a casual wave of his hands.
Shunsui looked at Sachi like he could not believe what he had just said. Of course he and Rose both knew that gossip about their relationship would most likely spread and that some of it would not be very pleasant. But still, being called a whore to the face by somebody who meant every word was still painful.
"You called her a whore." He whispered in disbelief.
"Oh stop acting so dramatic Shunsui. I just called her what she is." Replied Sachi.
"She was raped!" shouted Shunsui, his anger now getting the better of himself. "And you should have known that as you are a member of central 46. She was a victim of Kurosawa's cruel plot to take revenge against the Soul Society and you say that she was a whore because of it. She-she had no choice in the matter!" Shunsui stood up and marched towards the window. He could not believe his family! They had said some hurtful things in the past but never to this extent. Rose was still traumatized by her past and so calling her a whore was going to affect her more than it would any other girl.
Shunsui family stayed silent, watching as he glared out the window. The storm had finally hit, causing rain to fall at an intense pace. The sky would light up occasionally with lightening followed moments later by a loud boom. Rose had most likely gone back to his quarters, but still the idea of her walking outside in a storm caused him to worry. All he wanted was to go and comfort her. Hell it was going to take a lot of convincing to make her understand that she was not a whore or a gold digger and that he loved her. Over time Rose had gotten better at accepting herself and her past. She now did not think of herself as a whore and someone who had deserved her past. But somehow Shunsui knew that all the progress she had made would be thrown out the window because of his parents chosen words. Sometimes he really hated his family. He extended his reiatsu out in search of Rose and found her crouched in the kitchen. But the way her reiatsu was flowing erratically through her body showed that she was very agitated and upset. He needed to get to her and calm her down before she did something stupid.
Slowly he turned back to face his family. Rose needed him now more than his family and quite frankly he could not care less about them right now. Whatever they had to say to him could be mentioned in a letter to him.
"I'm going back to my quarters before this storm get any worse. You are not to speak to Rose again without me being in the room. Do I make myself clear?" His voice was full of steel and his reiatsu fluttered around him in barely contained rage. Shunsui's family flinched ever so slightly in fear as they felt the weight of his angry reiatsu wash against them. Shunsui may not be the most influential member of the Kyoraku household, but he was the most powerful and thus is family feared him ever so slightly.
Shunsui did not wait for their answer and simply shunpooed out of the room, leaving the guests to make their own way out. It was disrespectful but he really could not care less.
Her clothes were soaked through but Rose did not care. Her black shihakushō clung to her body while she walked through Shunsui quarters to the bathroom. She had never felt so angry and so miserable in her life before. The words that his family had said to her had cut deep into her body. She knew that people would be gossiping behind her back about her relationship but she had never perceived that it would this bad.
People inside of the eighth division and out (not including Maya and her group of followers) had accepted her relationship with Shunsui. She was now free to love him out in public (minus public displays of affection) without fear of most people judging her. But of course the Shinigami world was far different to that of the nobles. The Seireitei was divided into four unofficial sections. The first was where all the Gotei 13 barracks and houses of residence were located. The second section was where the Shin'o academy was located while the third was the major shopping district. The Fourth and by far larges section was where all the nobles resided. The Shinigami and nobles very rarely mingled and so gossip was very rarely passed between them (the same could be said for academy students and Shinigami). Only the Taichos had access to the nobles but the Taichos very rarely gossiped. With that being the case, news of Rose's relationship with Shunsui had not reached the ears of the nobles. When it had reached the ears of the nobles their opinions were divided. The lower level nobles generally accepted their relationship as many of their relatives had married people considered below their standing. However, the higher level nobles (like the Kyoraku family) simply could not face any member of their family marrying below their social class. They saw Shunsui's relationship with Rose as a sign of the upcoming apocalypse.
Rose had never felt more humiliated in her life. It was bad enough that people thoughts that she was a whore, but now they thought she was a gold digger. She had never accepted any of Shunsui's money. She was not married to him so she should not be allowed any share of him money. Shunsui had obviously disagreed with her and had insisted that she take some of his money. But Rose had refused. She was going to earn her money. This had driven Shunsui up the wall as he insisted on her using his money to buy the things she wanted. But she refused all the time and eventually he conceded. His respect for her was deep.
Blood trickled slowly down her hand and splatted onto the tiled floor as she stood there. Shunsui had remodelled the bathroom during her absence (along with the rest of the house) and so it now contained a humongous bathtub fit for several people, a luxurious shower and a counter with two sinks. It had obviously been designed to accommodate two people thus showing that Shunsui truly believed that Rose would return to him someday. Rose walked towards the bathroom stool and sat down. The pain, which had previously been muted by the anger in her heart, returned in full force. Her hand burnt and stung while blood trickled out of the large gashes. She would need to clean her wound up least she want it to become infected. Rose stood up and walked over to the bathroom cabinet and pulled out the first aid kit and then walked back to the stool, taking with her the small purple hand towel that usually hung by the sink. She hissed in pain as she pressed the towel to her injury. The gash burnt and seared under the pressure but it did nothing to quell the pain in her heart. She hated herself, hated the fact that her present life was still tainted by her brutal past. Would she always be called a whore? It had taken Shunsui a long time to make her admit that she was not a whore but deep down Rose knew that it was not a mask that somebody just removed. It was like a brand, the type that Kurosawa had put on her thigh all those years ago. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, it was still there. She would always be a whore.
The confrontation with the Kyoraku family had humiliated her. Rose was always at the centre of all the gossip because of her relationship with Shunsui but she had learnt to ignore it. And anyway most of it was harmless. But now she was going to have to endure the whispered conversations on how the Kyoraku Family hated her. It was humiliating knowing that, not only your lover's family hated you, but that the entire community knew of it. Life was so cruel sometimes.
A flash of pink caught her attention and the next thing she knew she was engulfed in a tight, loving hug.
"Rose, darling Rose I am so, so sorry." Whispered Shunsui as he held her close. Rose inhaled his heavenly scent and felt all the anger, shame and humiliation flow out of her body.
"Shunsui." she whispered and buried her nose into his collar. She could feel him relax as all the tension in his body slowly left.
"I tried getting there as soon as I could. I was just leaving the meeting when I got the hell butterfly and so I shunpooed there as fast as I could…but I guess I was too late. Oh Rose I am so sorry." Explained Shunsui rather desperately. He needed her to understand that he had tried to prevent this from happening. Rose allowed herself to be pulled closer into his tight embrace which made her smile internally as she being held by lover's arms and that was all that really mattered. Time seemed to stop as the two of them held each other. Nothing beyond the four walls that surrounded them mattered. On occasion Shunsui would tenderly kiss Rose's head while murmuring words of apology. He knew that she was strong but even the strongest of people fell victim to his family's harsh tongue.
"Let me see your wound." Whispered Shunsui after a while. The two of them had somehow ended up on the floor, with Rose held tightly in Shunsui's arms. Rose disentangled herself from Shunsui's arms and sat back on her knees, facing him. Slowly she removed the towel which had been held against her wound and tried not to hiss in pain. She saw his face darken as he took in the two long gashes across her palm.
"Rose I am so sorry."
"It's not your fault Shunsui. You did not know that they were going to turn up in your office and you did not make me smash that mug. I should not have acted the way I had." She looked down at her wounds and grimaced. She hated the sight of blood.
"I would say you acted correctly given the circumstances. My family did say some horrible things."
Rose shuffled sheepishly. "I still should not have smashed my mug."
Shunsui took her injured hand in his with great care." The wounds do not look that deep so you will not be needing stiches. I have seen people reacting differently to my families insults and smashing a mug has been one of the most tamed things I have seen."
"You make it sound like this happens often." Said Rose in a calm voice.
"Sadly it does. My family enjoy looking down on people and insulting them. It think it gives them some sort of sick pleasure to insult the people they think are below them. I see it all the time with nobility." Shunsui looked up and saw the hurt and tears in Rose's eyes. "Oh Rose please don't cry. The things they say are always lies."
"But they called me a whore." She whispered.
"Which is untrue." He replied. Rose shifted uncomfortably. "You believe what they said about you." He continued before sighing. "I thought we were passed this Rose."
"I thought we were too, but your family just brought up all the old feelings I had."
Shunsui looked at Rose before leaning forwards and kissing her gently on the lips. "You are not a whore. You were a sex slave in the past but that does not make you a whore in the present. Not that you ever were a whore. Nobody worthy of your time thinks that you are a whore and the rest…well like I said they are not worth your time. The people who call you a whore are ignorant and jealous of you and are only searching for something to make themselves feel batter. Giving in and accepting the title that they gave you is only allowing them victory. Do you think that you are a whore?" he asked gently.
"No." whispered Rose.
"Well then that is all that matter. Let the others who think that you are a whore wallow in their own self-pity and meaningless attempts to make themselves feel happy. And as for my family, well they would want nothing more than to remove you from my side." Said Shunsui before opening the first aid kit and pulling out some antiseptic.
"Why do your parents want to separate us…I mean apart from the fact that they think that I am bellow you." Asked Rose in between hisses of pain. The antiseptic burnt her wounds.
"I'm sorry." Murmured Shunsui whenever she hissed in pain. "I don't really know why my parents want to separate us. I could be that they think of you as a threat. Or that they want me to feel miserable."
"Why would they want that? And why am I seen as a threat?"
"You are a woman with new ideas which is seen as a threat to their way of life. Unlike many noble woman you want to work for your money and you believe that there are better things in the world than money and power. To answer your first question, my parents have always disliked me. I did not follow the rules as a child. I wanted something more than the noble life. And when I was sent to the academy they refused to speak to me. Oh we would meet during large family functions because they needed to keep face, but beyond that we never spoke. I was too wild for them and I 'sullied the family name with my actions'. Ever since then we have rarely spoken. They would want nothing more than for me to come crawling back to them, begging forgiveness and so they plan to remove everything that makes me happy in order to do that." Shunsui was trying to keep his tone even but some of the anger he felt escaped. He turned back to the first aid kit and pulled out the white bandages.
"That is terrible." Exclaimed Rose while watching Shunsui bandage her wound.
"I know. But they are my family and no matter how hard I try I still have to put up with them." He finished bandaging up her wounds. "I want you to understand this." He looked up at her. "I will never let them take you away from me…ever…because I love you, more than anything in the world."
It might have been the seriousness of his tone, or the determination in his voice but Rose could feel her blood boil. He was going to stand by her side and fight for her. It was possibly on of the best declarations of love she had ever heard.
"Well I don't plan on letting them either." Whispered Rose before pulling Shunsui in for a kiss. The kiss was passionate, desperate and lustful as Rose tried to express as best as possible how much she loved this man. He was her everything, her life. Nothing was going to take him away from her. Shunsui groaned and deepened the kiss, his tongue dominating her mouth. The storm outside was nothing compared to the hotand heavy passion in the bathroom.
"Make love to me." Whispered Rose when the two of them departed for air.
"It would be my pleasure."
Shunsui gently helped Rose to her feet and led her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. With gently hands he slowly started to peal of her sodden Shihakushō until she was standing in her light pink, lacy underwear.
"Hmm I like your underwear." Murmured Shunsui as he peppered Rose's neck with kisses. His hands wrapped around her back and began to fumble with her bra strap. With great ease he was able to unclasp it and gently pull it down her body. "But I prefer you naked and lying on my bed." he continued before throwing the bra across the room.
It did not take him long to remove her panties as well leaving her naked. Rose had always thought that it felt erotic to stand pressed up against Shunsui naked while he still had all his clothes on. It made the whole scene seem naughtier and had the added effect of making her all the more needier. Slowly she grinded her naked body up and down his, feeling his hard erection and abs brush against her body. Shunsui groaned and pushed his erection into her and started to run his hands up and down her body. Feeling particularly brave Rose dipped her hand down his Hakama and started to play with his erection, causing him to moan. The duo sensation of her rubbing his breast up against his chest while touching his erection was intense. Over and over she would run her hands up and down his shaft while pressing her breasts into him. She was teasing him with her breast while simultaneously begging him to release with her hands. Shunsui could not believe the little minx that stood there naked in front of him was his darling Rose. Before she had been so shy about everything and now here she was driving him crazy with her stimulation. And then she dropped to her knees in front of him…
"I'm thirsty." Explained Rose before pulling his erection free of his hakama.
Shunsui moaned when he felt her lips enclose around his member and suck…hard. His hands moved down and laced into her hair while he tried to control the intense please coursing through him. Rose used varying technics in the hopes of heightening Shunsui's pleasure. She would deep throat him for a bit before changing to teasing licks on his tip. At one point she lightly ran her teeth up and down his member and watched as his eyes flew open and a strangled cry escaped his lips. It felt so empowering watching one of the strongest Taichos in the Seireitei come apart in her mouth. She could feel his muscles tense.
"I'm gonna cum Rose. If you don't want me to cum in your mouth then you should pull out now." Groaned Shunsui.
Rose replied by sucking harder. Shunsui threw his head back and cried out as he came. His hot, thick release spurted out in powerful blasts and painted the back of her mouth white. Rose used her hands to massage Shunsui balls to prolong his orgasm while she swallowed blast after blast of his release. Shunsui felt himself going weak as his heavenly orgasm final came to an end. The devilish vixen in front to him released his members and licked her lips seductively.
"As always Shunsui you taste delicious."
Suddenly Rose felt the world spin and found herself pressed up against Shunsui, her back to his front.
"You little minx." Said Shunsui while pressing his hips into her backside. Rose cried out when he plunged two of his fingers into her warm, wet core and started to pump them in and out. With his thumb he pressed down on her clit that caused her to writher in pleasure. Her body withering against his was making him hard again, and soon enough he was ready for another round. However, Shunsui was not finished yet as he wanted to show Rose his gratitude. Rose could feel her legs weakening her as lover pumped in and out of her. The pleasure was intense and exactly what she needed to clench her burning need. Her orgasm was building and building into she was hanging on the edge. Just a few more pumps and she would burst into intense pleasure…
And then Shunsui's fingers stopped.
"No Shunsui please." Pleaded Rose as her need for him burnt within her. She tried to force him to continue by grinding her hips up against his but all that resulted in was him grapping hold of her hips to still her.
"Patience my dear." Teased Shunsui before latching onto her earlobe. Rose whined and panted as she felt her orgasm die within her. Her need to orgasm might have gone but desire and want was still there, and twice as powerful.
"Please." Pleaded Rose in a desperate whine.
Shunsui chuckled. "Well aren't we a needy person tonight."
"Please." Whispered Rose. "Please, please, PLEASE." She voice was becoming more desperate as the fire within her burnt.
Shunsui sighed and then pushed Rose down onto the bed. She caught herself before she smacked face first into the covers. She was on her hands and knees with her needy, wet core on full display.
Shunsui whistled quietly behind her. "What a sight to behold."
"Please."
"Please what Rose?"
He wanted his pound of flesh. "Please take me Shunsui." begged Rose.
Shunsui removed his shihakushō and climbed onto the bed behind her. "As much as I would like to do that I have other things planned for you." He bent down behind her and positioned his mouth in front of her slit. Rose moaned when she felt his warm breath on her wet folds.
"You look positively delicious." He murmured before licking her slit slowly with his warm tongue. Rose cried out as she felt the warm, wet, velvet tongue stroke her most intimate of places. Her desire to orgasm suddenly came back and with every stroke of Shunsui's tongue the need grew until she felt like she was on fire. Her clit was also abused by his delicious tongue making her feel dizzy and weak.
"Delicious." Murmured Shunsui before he pushed his tongue in between her folds and started to eat her out. Rose could not take it anymore and came, loudly. Her juices started to gush out of her but Shunsui, the ever dutiful lover, lapped it all up. Her legs gave out underneath her as she collapsed forwards, panting harshly as she tried recover. Although she had just experience an extremely pleasurable orgasm she was not yet satisfied. Rose lifted her head and looked over her shoulder at Shunsui who was watching her intently.
"Did you like that?" He asked.
Rose looked down and saw that he was gently stroking himself. "Yes." She whispered with want in her voice. The sight of him stroking himself was mouth-watering and gave her growing arousal a boost.
He looked up at her and then down at his member in his hands before smiling wickedly at her. "Do you like what you see?"
"Too much."
Shunsui inhaled. "Well then I would not like to disappoint a lovely lady such as yourself."
"Take me Shunsui." said Rose with lust in her eyes.
"Are you sure you want me to take you from behind?" asked Shunsui. He did not want to push her.
"Yes." She replied a little shakily. She could do this.
Rose could feel Shunsui's intense gaze on her naked backside and she positioned herself again on her hands and knees in front of him. In the past the position had made her very uncomfortable and vulnerable as she could not see Shunsui's face. In fact the position reminded her too much of her past and so she had been a little sceptical in using it. However, as her self-image and confidence improved so did her willingness to use this sex position.
Shunsui shuffled up behind her and pressed his muscular thighs into her backside. Next, his hot hands were placed on her waist as he slowly positioned himself at her dripping entrance. Rose gasped as she felt Shunsui long, thick length sink in between her folds, stretching her in the most delicious way she could possibly imagine. He only stopped pushing when he had completely sheathed himself inside of her. In this position he could sink deeper inside of her, and thus increase the feeling of fullness. Rose moaned and pushed her hips back and grinded against Shunsui pelvis. Doggie style was one of Shunsui's favourite positions as it allowed him to look at is partner's bottom while he pounded her. But Rose used to feel so vulnerable in the position so he rarely used it. In fact he was so surprised that she had wanted to use it this time round.
Slowly he pulled back out of her until only the tip of his member was inside of her before thrusting forwards while pulling her back at the same time. Rose screamed as his member hit all the right places inside of her and stretched her deliciously. Over and over again he pulled out of her and slammed back in, groaning at the wonderful sensation of her wet folds around his ragging erection. Slowly he leaned over her, making sure to rub his coarse chest hair up and back. He was everywhere, on top of her, around her…inside of her. She was drowning in him yet she did not want it to end. Shunsui moved to cup Rose's breasts. The dual sensation of having her breasts fondled and him pounding her was mind blowing. Rose screamed, moaned and gasped as Shunsui took her pleasure to new heights.
"Shunsui." she gasped after he hit another delicious spot inside of her
Shunsui moaned and latched onto her neck and started to kiss and suck her.
"Shunsui!" cried out Rose as the pleasure was beginning to be too much. Her muscles began to tighten while her hands clenched the bed sheets. His hot breath was on her shoulder, coming out in hot, harsh pants which was driving her wild. And suddenly the pleasure became too much. Rose screamed as her orgasm took over her body but still Shunsui drove into her.
Shunsui was trying very hard not to succumb to the intense pleasure of his partner cumming around his erection and by some miracle he held on. Rose had been through a rather trying evening so he was going to pay her back by making her experience some of the most intense pleasure a body could experience, over and over again. On some level he believed that he owed it to her.
Rose screamed when she felt Shunsui hand wrap around her waist and start to play with her clit. White hot pleasure shot up her spine and weakened her body. Her arms gave way underneath her sending her crashing onto the bed. Her backside was now being offered up to Shunsui who took advantage of the situation to pound her harder and faster. Rose's passionate screams were muffled by the sheets, however, they were still loud enough for Shunsui to know that she enjoyed everything that was happening to her. He could feel his own end approaching but he wanted his partner to cum one more time before he ended. So he increased the pressure of his fingers on her clit and thrusted harder and faster into her warm folds. It might have been that she was still recovering from her previous orgasm or that her body was experiencing even more pleasure than before, but Rose came almost immediately. She screamed as her muscled contracted around Shunsui's member, begging him to release into her.
"Rose!" shouted Shunsui as he came, shooting his load into her warm depths. Over and over again his member shot out his release in agonizingly good pleasure that left him feeling weak. Rose could feel his warm release entering her body which only prolonged her orgasm. It was agony, yet pleasurable at the same time. Rose could feel what was felt of her strength leaving and if it was not for her lover holding onto her waist she would have collapsed onto the ground. Shunsui pulled out of his lover before allowed his body to sink down onto the bed as his muscled all turned to mush after such a good round of sex. With the last of his strength he pulled his lover towards him so that her front was pressed to his in a rather messy tangle of sweaty and tired limbs. Rose even breath tickled his chest hair while she tried to recover from her own orgasm. She felt so comfortable, lying on her lover's chest, inhaling his scent and feeling his warmth. Shunsui felt the weigh on his chest becoming limper before he looked down and saw that Rose had fallen asleep. Her brown hair was draped across her shoulders and her body glowed. He had never seen anybody so beautiful in his life. Although the day had proven to be trying, what with the unexpected arrival of his parents, it now ended with a sort of tranquillity and gentleness that seemed to wrap around the two of them. Life was going to be challenging or them but together they were strong enough to handle it. Little did they know that events were going to be put in motion that would rip the two of them apart.
