Earl Cain: So here's my problem with MY Bleach stories, I tend to jump all over the place and throw in crack couples... like Kaien and Ryûken. Anyway I digress. Welcome to one of my many Bleach fanfics. ^^ I have a million believe you me.
Kaien: Hi I'm Kaien and have been brought here against my will to inform you that my many associates and me do not belong to this "Earl." Enjoy.
Ryûken: Fuck all of you.
Brushing his hair away from his face, the teen sat up. It was late afternoon, and he'd been watching the clouds. He had just heard a soft giggle and went to investigate. He spotted only Captain Jûshirô and vice-captain Byakuya having a bit of fun in the forest. These two were always sneaking off, so he started back.
He pulled his longish hair into a short ponytail, and gave a sigh as he spotted more white in it than the day before. He was lonely and disliked this humorless place called the Rukon District. He longed for adventure.
He'd been as normal, well as normal as a Quincy teenager could be, when he'd died. He'd been attacked and killed by four large hollows. He had quickly realized that in this world, he'd been powerless but was slowly gaining his Quincy powers back. He hoped to eventually regain all of his lost abilities.
As he headed back to the house he's been invited to stay in, he heard a panicked yell. He immediately turned to find the source of that embodiment of terror. What he saw made his heart skip a beat.
A young soul reaper, probably five years older than himself, was being pursued by a big hollow. He looked to be losing this race badly. The teen didn't even pause to think. Upon seeing the soul reaper be pinned to the ground, he summoned his bow and fired of three shots in quick succession.
The hollow had the reaper pinned to the ground, and the reaper seemed to be fading fast. The adolescent fired off three more arrows, followed by three more. The hollow finally fell.
The reaper lay almost completely still on the ground, so the teen ran over, "Are you okay? I'm Ishida Ryûken."
"Shiba Kaien," the reaper replied with a soft voice. "Um, you gonna help me?" He frowned as a sharp pain gripped him. "Please?"
Ryûken nodded, "Yeah, I'm staying with this nice woman and her younger brother." He lifted him and carried him to the house.
A woman was grumbling about her 'stupid idiot of a brother' when Ryûken returned, "Oh hey Ryu, who's that?" She took one look and gasped, "Kaien?"
"Kaien has been badly hurt by a hollow, so I brought him here... how do you know him Kukaku?" Ryûken asked softly as he put the reaper on his own bed. "He needs medical treatment."
"That's my big brother, Kaien, can you hear me?" Kukaku asked trembling.
Ryûken gathered a few things then pushed Kukaku out of the way, "I'm sorry Kukaku, but I need water and for you to wait outside."
Kukaku got the water and waited outside the door.
Kaien's eyes fluttered open, and he noticed that his clothes were taken off, "On the first date? Bad Ryûken." He gave a half-hearted smile.
"Glad to know your sense of humor is intact," Ryûken chuckled, barely noticing the flawless chest and focusing on the large wound. He cleaned the injury with warm water, smirking at the cringes of pain Kaien kept giving.
"Sadist," Kaien frowned. "Is that a needle and black thread?" His aqua eyes widened almost comically.
"I have to suture the wound somehow," He began to swiftly and steadily sew up the abrasion.
Kaien gripped his little doctor's knee, "Fuck that hurts..."
Ryûken finished and leaned down to use his teeth to break the thread. He planted a kiss to the cut. "There, all done, ya big baby." He cleaned up and returned with some chicken broth. "How you feel?"
Kaien sighed, "Okay, I guess. Sore..." He frowned, "Could you let my wife know that I'm okay?"
"Sure," the teen said. "You know you were lucky this time." He got some broth and spooned some into his mouth.
"Yeah I'm awesome that way doll," Kaien teased.
Ryûken rolled his dark blue eyes, "Shut it you." He left to take the bowl and send the message. He soon returned and sat to study the wound, "IT should heal nicely. A soul reaper really?"
Yep, am I that entertaining?" Kaien chuckled.
"I have no one else to talk to," Ryûken pulled his knees up to his chin.
The soul reaper stretched a hand out to put a hand on one of the teen's hands, "I'm sorry."
They sat like that for a long time.
Earl Cain: Hope ya liked it. Strange couple I know. I love this couple.
Kaien: Sure why not...
Ryûken: Still hate all of you...
Earl Cain: Read and Review. Please? If u do I will give you Kai-
Kaien: Not me or Ryu...
Ryûken: Especially not me.
