I do not own Bleach nor do I make any money from this story.

The character of Tetsuya is the property of Spunkyone who was nice enough to let me use him.

This is a yaoi story so don't like don't read.

Just so everyone know this is a sequal I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1: A year later

"Byakuya-sama why did it have to be him. You literaly have an army of men to chose from who are willing to lay down there lives for you. So why him, don't tell me you still do not trust him. It has been a year and he has proven his loyalty sevrel times." Tetsuya looked at his cousin who also happened to be the king after the event of nearly a year before.

Byakuya ighed "I trust he is loyal to you and therefor loyal to me since he is loyal to those you are loyal to you. He offered himself for this mission and I accepted sending him with Toshiro Hitsugya. You should be proud of him he is doing somthing very important for the crown and the safty of the kingdoms people." The king was not in the habit of explaining himself but he had a soft spot for a few people oe of which was his cousin.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the heavy door to his office. "Will you be ok until he returns" he asked releaved to get a nod. "Enter" he called returning to the papers covering his desk. It was clear he was searching for somthing and this mission was very important.

"You know a king should be seen by his people every once in while" Junshiro Ukitake said as he entered the office. He was head advisor to the king and as suck was concerned for the young man. Ukitake was fallowed by a small servent that was bringing the king more reports. "I understand you are concerned about Aizan and the others who escaped during Yumichika's plot. Even the former king himself seems to have fallen off the face of the earth not that he will be missed. But that is still no reason for you to stay hidden away you have greater maters to attend to your magesty" Ukitake said.

Byakuya knew his advisor was not just talking about his kingly duties. Just under a year before his cousin Yumichika who had been king at the time had slipped from sanity. He had kidnapped the love of Byakuya's life. He tortured the much younger man he also let Aizen and Sazel Granz do gods knew what to poor Uryu. Yumi also killed their childhood teacher Yun and had almost killed Uryu as well as Tetsuya who had been captured trying to help the young man. As the new king Byakuya had put off his public coranation for the last year as he tried to help his love put the pieces back together.

The king took a deep breath "Uryu is still struggling he hates that he can not remember. Though to be honest I am not it would be better for him if he never remembers. The bits and pieces cause him enough pain and costs him sleep. When his father was found dead in the ruins of the old palace he felt bad for feeling releaved. Not that I blame him that man was one of the most horible people I have ever met. But still he feels guilty no matter what I say though he is getting better. I sit with him after his nightmares I watch him sew small things like that." Byakuya let a small smile slip at the thought of being with Uryu in any way.

Ukitake smiled "that is wonderful my king but it is time for your corination the public one anyway your subjects want to celebrate your rule. The cerimony will be in one month and you are not cancleing it again. Uryu has finishd your royal seal and crest so it is time. I have also arraged for you and Uryu to go on a little trip before the ceramony. The next 2 weeks is just for you two. Leave setting up the coranation to me I will handle everything and I will get Shunsui to help me. Do not laugh he may be lazy but when my lover puts his mind to something he dose very well. Also I can be very persuasive" Ukitake's pale skin turned red as he reilized just what he said. He sputtered but was interupted by the dood slaming open.

"That is it either he gose or I do" came the angry voice of Ichigo Kurosaki an orange haired young man who served the king loyaly as one of his guards. No one had to ask what the boy was talking about. After the events of last year some of Yumi's men who were glad to see the kingdom in new hands joined Byakuya's army. Among those men were two of Yumi's elite warriors Kenpatchi Zakari and Ikkaku Madarame. But now Kenpatchi who was a battle crazed giant of a man would not leave Ichigo alone always wanting to fight him.

"Well then it will be you" Byakuya did not visibly react to Ichigo's flareing temper. "Relax my advisor has informed me Uryu and I are going on a trip and I need you to come as a guard. Go tell Renji he is coming too" the king said. "There now you can't say anything about us not being safe can you Ukitake" he got a nod. "We leave in the morning see that you are ready" with that he went back to his papers telling everyone it was time to leave without saying anything so they all did. Well everyone but Tetsuya.

"Byakuya-Sama you did not fight it are you well" Tetsuya asked concerned. This earned a look from his cousin that could kill. But Tetsuya just stood there with a small smile on his lips.

"Hello Sastre" Chad Sado said he was a very very tall young man and he had just entered the workhop of Uryu who on top of being the one the king loved he also was the kings private tailor. The workshop ha fabric thread and all manor of tools of his trade spred around the large room. The king had spared no cost on this place wanting it to make its owner happy which it did. Chad had been there for the events Uryu could not remember. It had been his job to break Isida's mind but the king did not know Chad secretly worked for his cousin then Lord Byakuya. It had been during there time together that Chad had given Uryu his nickname..

"Oh hello Sensei I mean Chad sorry" Uryu hel in his hands a cloth he was embroidering so he could use it in a piece of one of the gifts he planed to mae for Byakuya. The skilled young man hands never stoped moving as Cha told him about the trip. "Who is going" he asked getting the answer of Uryu, Byakuya, Ichigo, Renji, and Tetsuya. "And where is it we are going" he asked but Chad could not answer this question. "Oh well I am sure it will be fine" the tailoe said as he finished his work setting it to the side.

Chad had a smile on his face "you will have fun I am sure Ukitake has set the public corrination for a month from ow. So your trip will be two weeks long" Chad said "I hate to ask but have you finished what I asked you to make. Our anivesary is very soon and will be while you are gone so I hope it is done" he said having more to say but was stopd by a raised hand.

"Stop I owe the two of you my life I just wish I could do more. But yes it is done I even made a bonus for you to give him." Uryu stood retreating to the bedroom for a moment before returning with a large box. He was a little shaky on his feet from lack of sleep but he stedied himself opening the box. He first pulled out two robes they were dark bue with snowflakes embroidered on them. Next he pulled out what Chad had asked it was a very large blanket that was many shades of blue and had the same snowflakes on it. "What do you think" he asked.

Chad traced the snowflakes with a large finger "it is perfect Sastre" he said "Toshiro will love it. "Your skills never stop amazing me" he said watching as they were folded and put back into the box and wraped in handmade ribbon. He and Toshiro had been together for 5 years. Chad had gone to work for Yumi soon after they got together. Publicly this caused strain but in reality since Chad was a spy they could not have been happier. Now they both served Byakuya openly and had never been happier.

"I am glad you like them" Uryu said he loved making people happy and was free to make things for whoever he wanted. He was nervous about this trip but was glad it was a small group going so he could spend plenty of time with Byakuya. He was starting to feel what he knew he should for the older man so things were looking up.

"This will be fun I mean after what we have been threw what could happen."
