Chapter 1: Blood Meal
A frigid, cutting wind sliced through the dark swirls of spinning sand that howled through a lonely section of Hueco Mundo, stinging the bloodied body of a collapsed shinigami, bringing him back from senselessness. The blonde man sucked in a painful breath, fascinated by the coppery taste in his mouth as he slowly turned his head and startled at the sight of the headless mess that had once been a hollow, but now laid, dismembered, next to him. A slow smile crept onto his lips.
"Good job, Captain Kuchiki," he managed softly, rolling onto his belly and looking around.
He noticed immediately the odd, thick silence that blanketed the area, and a glowing light somewhere ahead of him.
What is that?
I feel Byakuya's reiatsu, but...I think that other hollow is still alive. I'd best get over there and figure out what's going on.
He fumbled in his torn coat and found a little syringe that he uncapped and plunged into his arm, instantly easing a measure of the pain he felt and allowing him to get back on his feet. He stumbled towards the strange, glowing light, his pale grey eyes searching for any sign of the sixth division captain who had been with him. His eyes stung and blinked, trying to focus properly as he closed in on Byakuya and the powerful hollow reiatsu he had sensed. He ducked down quickly behind a rock as he realized he had almost missed seeing the two in the haze of blue light that was wrapped around them.
Byakuya laid, bleeding from a deep wound in one shoulder and nearly enveloped by the eerily beautiful gossamer wings of the hollow that hovered above him, it's cruel fangs fastened on the noble's soft, vulnerable throat.
"Oh, that's really not good," Kisuke mumbled, "Not good at all."
He forced down an instinct to attack hastily, opting instead to move closer and observe, trusting his sharp mind to come up with a much better solution than the one dictated by the strict rules of the Gotei 13.
For the safety of the unit, a seated officer possessed by a transformative hollow, must be assumed lost and killed, along with the hollow.
"It's a good thing I'm not as anal about the rules as you are, ne CaptainKuchiki?" he whispered, angling around several rocks and closing in on the two.
He paused, listening as the hollow's head lifted and it looked around for a moment, before turning dangerous, glowing golden eyes back on the seemingly conscious, but immobilized man beneath it.
"You murdered my mate, shinigami," the hollow hissed, "We were about to mate, and you took away our chance to do that. You will die for that, but you will serve me first. By mingling our blood and reiatsu, I have altered you to give me what she cannot. And when I fill you with my seed, you will bear what she would have...before I devour you.
The lovely winged hollow drew back for a moment, revealing his also glowing and dangerously large apparatus. Byakuya's lips moved, but all that came out was a chilling, soulful squeal that made Kisuke stiffen for a moment, feeling a powerful twinge in his loins. The hollow's rasping laugh snapped him back to attention.
"You are eager to receive me. How very reckless of you. Well, don't worry. I won't keep you waiting."
Concealed within the rocks, Kisuke shook his head firmly.
"That is so not happening, you creep," he said, gripping his sword, "Bankai, Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame!"
He watched as the strange stitches erupted along the ground, first altering him, then streaking along and swiftly closing in on Byakuya and the hollow. The hollow sensed the release of power and turned, snapping its head around and hissing through sharp fangs still dripping with Byakuya's blood and reiatsu. But before it could dodge, the sutures opened up its bony form.
"You bastard!" the hollow seethed, employing its wings to hover higher above the two men.
On the ground where it had been, Byakuya's eyes remained glazed over and senseless, but he climbed to his feet and shot up into the air, slashing at the hollow.
"Take that, you bastard," Kisuke laughed.
"What?" the hollow exclaimed, "What have you done? Damn you! He shouldn't be able to move!"
"Maybe so," Kisuke agreed, "but my Benehime Aratame restructures anything it touches, enemy or ally. It's made me stronger. It's gotten ol' Byakuya back on his feet, and you'd better expect it's done something to you too."
The hollow screeched and flailed as its wings stiffened, and it began to fall toward the two shinigamis. Byakuya flash stepped forward, slashing mercilessly and leaving the hollow a headless lump that matched its fallen partner. Kisuke watched, sighing and nodding approvingly as the hollow collapsed. The smile faded quickly as Byakuya's legs began to shake beneath him, and he fell too. Kisuke flash stepped immediately to the noble's side, sealing his bankai, then quickly examining the downed shinigami.
"Oh...oh, this is really all kinds of not good," he muttered, "We need to get back to the shop in a hurry."
He felt several familiar reiatsus approaching and smiled down at the bloodied noble.
"Hey, we're in luck. Looks like the powers that be, or maybe your cute little overprotective cousin sent the cavalry. We'll have you back and fixed up in no time. How's that?"
Kisuke smiled as Tetsuya appeared, perched on the back of his lovely black Arabian stallion, with Ichigo riding behind him. Alongside the two, Shima Kurushimi and his sister followed, trailed by an excited looking Kenpachi.
"Hey, did you save one for me?" he shouted, holding his sword ready as he touched down in front of Kisuke and Byakuya.
He paused and frowned down at the noble's bloodied form.
"Damn, what fucked him up like that? Is it still here?" he asked, looking around.
"Sorry," Kisuke answered, smirking, "Byakuya took care of it."
"Looks like barely," Kurushimi noted, "Deripie?"
His sister moved forward and knelt next to Kisuke at Byakuya's side.
"Is he going to be all right?" Tetsuya asked worriedly, sliding down off his horse and moving closer.
"I'm sure he'll be okay," Ichigo said comfortingly, sliding down off the stallion and wrapping an arm around his troubled boyfriend, "Let's stay back and let Aderia and Kisuke take care of him."
"I sense you have used your bankai on him?" Aderia surmised.
"Yeah, it was pretty much that or something pretty horrific was going to happen to Captain Kuchiki."
"You did the right thing then," Aderia assured him, her practiced hands moving quickly to address Byakuya's bleeding wounds, "but you know there may be consequences."
The two exchanged glances and the others stiffened at the way they looked.
"You know the requirement for seated officers who..."
"Yeah, I do," Kisuke answered, looking at the healer through shaded eyes, "But...it was Benehime that restructured him, not the hollow."
Aderia's eyes widened for a moment as she considered.
"Well, when that happened, the hollow reiatsu he was infected with was affected as well," she reasoned, "And even though you have withdrawn your power, the hollow reiatsu is still active, though it hasn't technically transformed him."
"Look," Kisuke said bracingly, "I can fix this."
"What's goin' on?" Kenpachi asked, frowning, "What're you two plotting about?"
Aderia looked up at the others wordlessly as Kisuke explained.
"Okay, the technical rule is that if a seated Gotei officer is possessed by a transformative hollow reiatsu, then he's considered a loss and killed before he can do any damage. It's a necessary law because of how dangerous those transformations sometimes are. Believe me, it's not just Central 46 being pricks. This is serious stuff."
"You're not going to kill my cousin!" Tetsuya snapped, starting to draw his weapon.
"Hey, take it easy," Ichigo said, wrapping a hand around Tetsuya's wrist and looking down into his frightened sapphire eyes, "I don't think Kisuke's going to let Byakuya be killed...are you, Kisuke?"
Kisuke looked from one to the other of the gathered shinigamis, then shook his head.
"No," he said firmly, "I'm not going to let Byakuya die. I think you officers should get outta here and let Tetsuya and Ichigo help me take him back."
"But he needs more healing!" Aderia objected.
"I'm sure you understand," Kisuke went on, that the three of you are Gotei officers shouldn't be involved. I would advise returning and reporting that Captain Kuchiki is injured, but under my care. If they ask, he was affected by my bankai..."
"Technically truthful," Kuri observed.
"Yeah, and it avoids you either having to kill him or face court martial for dereliction of duty."
"Just, please heal him!" Tetsuya exclaimed, staring down at his cousin's pained expression.
"I will," Kisuke promised, "Now, why don't you and Ichigo help me get him on the horse?"
Kenpachi noticed Kuri hadn't moved, but was watching the others with anxious turquoise eyes.
"What's the matter, cupcake?" he asked the handsome, caramel skinned man, bumping up against his side, "Don't wanna go?"
"I am worried about Byakurai," Kuri confessed, "I know you sensed his reiatsu. It's been affected, not just by the bankai, but by that hollow. I wonder what effects it could have."
"I think you should leave worrying about that up to the people who can fix it," Kenpachi advised him, "Come on. I'll get your mind off of this, okay? We can do some training...or uh...something else if you want."
Kuri hesitated, watching as his sister gave Byakuya and Kisuke a regretful look and flash stepped away.
"Come on," Kenpachi breathed into his ear, "I have some restless energy I need to work off too."
"Do you ever not?" Kuri mused, a little smile sneaking onto his lips, "Fine then, we'll go. But I am going to keep tabs on this."
"Leave it to the pro," Kenpachi said, biting his soft earlobe teasingly, "Let's go home."
Kuri's frown persisted, but he loosed a resigned sigh and followed Kenpachi into a garganta that Kisuke had opened for the group.
"Let's move, Arashi," Tetsuya said, touching his heels to his stallion's sides and holding Byakuya against him as the horse charged forward. Kisuke and Ichigo ran behind them in swift flash steps.
"You sure you know what you're doing?" Ichigo asked as they ran, "I could tell Aderia wasn't sure she agreed with your decision."
"Are you saying you don't, Ichigo?" Kisuke asked, "You think I should have let them kill Byakuya without even trying to do something?"
"No, I just noticed how serious everyone looked, even Kenpachi."
"It is serious," Kisuke acknowledged, "But I can fix it. I'll take care of him. We just need to get back quickly."
The two stopped talking, putting all of their effort into keeping pace with the flash stepping stallion in front of them. A short time later, they emerged from the garganta, dropping down into the training grounds beneath Kisuke's shop. As the stallion skidded to a stop, Tetsuya handed Byakuya down to Ichigo and Kisuke, who carried him up, into the shop and laid him on the examination table in Kisuke's lab.
"Sorry Captain," Kisuke apologized, opening the noble's clothing and baring his damaged, but still achingly lovely body as Tetsuya and Ichigo blushed and tried not to stare, "I have to have you naked to run the tests I need."
The shopkeeper worked swiftly, taking samples of blood and reiatsu, then feeding the samples into an analyzer. He ran a small scanning device over every inch of Byakuya's body, then tapped at his computer keyboard before seeming to notice that Ichigo and Tetsuya were still there and watching raptly.
"Hey, it's going to be a while," he informed them, "Why don't you guys go and have something to eat?"
Ichigo squeezed Tetsuya's hand and smiled encouragingly.
"That sounds like a good idea. Come on."
Tetsuya gave Byakuya a regretful look and let Ichigo lead him out of the room. Kisuke watched the monitor in front of him as the computer worked to make sense of the readings taken by the analyzer as well as the blood and reiatsu samples that had been drawn. The computer beeped and clicked, spouting out numbers that scrolled by as the shopkeeper took them in and mulled over their meaning.
"Damn, you're in a bind this time, Captain," he breathed, "but we'll fix it. I'll have you free of this reiatsu and back in working order in no time. You'll see. You'll be looking down on people with those killer eyes of yours and ordering your men around before you know it."
He paused, looking more closely at the body scan and not seeing how Byakuya's body had begun to glow the same blue that the hollow had.
"What a mess..."
Kisuke stiffened suddenly as he heard the same soft squeal that Byakuya had emitted before, and felt the same powerful reaction in his loins.
"What the...?"
He turned to look and his eyes widened at the sight of Byakuya, completely naked and sprouting blue gossamer wings, then baring dangerous fangs. His face was nearly covered with a startlingly beautiful blue and silver mask that was decorated by a swirl of what looked like his pink petal blades, and a large hole had formed in his chest.
"Whoa!" he gasped, quickly grabbing a syringe and lunging at the possessed officer, "not good at all!"
He dodged as Byakuya snapped at him, then whipped his fine wings, knocking over several monitors and a tall lamp, sending them crashing to the floor.
"Shit!"
"Are you all right, boss?" Tessai called from outside the door, "Do you need any help with him?"
"Uh, naw...no, it's uh...it's uh, fine. We're okay," Kisuke panted, circling Byakuya as the noble snarled and charged at him, sending more breakables flying, "Aw, come on. You're breaking up my lab, Captain Kuchiki! Settle down, okay?"
He dodged again as Byakuya swept towards him, attacking with polished black claws and pearly fangs.
"C'mon, you don't want to do that," he reasoned, "You take me out and we are both dead, got me?"
He dodged a slashing claw and turned suddenly, driving the syringe into Byakuya's pale shoulder and breathing a sigh of relief as he finally collapsed. He laid, panting, on the floor as Kisuke dropped on his knees beside the noble and hastily attached a large tube to the area over Byakuya's spirit core.
"This'll get the bad reiatsu out of you," the shopkeeper assured him, "And let's hope you go back to normal. But hey, if you don't, you make a pretty vizard, you know."
He made a sound of surprise as Byakuya turned, lunging at him again. Byakuya's body collided with the shopkeeper's, bringing Kisuke down on his back, where he was pinned by the possessed and still naked captain.
"Crap!" he gasped, struggling, "Captain, don't make me have to kill you, please?"
He noted that the suction device was still attached and grabbed Byakuya's shoulders, holding him away as the noble tore at Kisuke's clothes, shredding them.
"Oh, Captain," he grunted, stiffening his arms and straining to keep him held back, "I don't think I like what you're doing here. How about you let me up?"
Byakuya loosed an unholy shriek that seemed to travel like an electric shock through Kisuke's body. leaving him unable to do anything but keep his extended arms stiffened. Byakuya shifted atop his flattened form, panting and grinding suggestively against his nether region.
"You're going to hate me for this, but sorry. I can't let you do that or you'll hate me even more than you hated me for taking Yoruichi and leaving the Seireitei."
He started to employ a heavy kido shock to the noble, then heard a sweet, hynotic keening sound that froze him in place and made him stare raptly up at Byakuya's comely face.
"Oh," he moaned, struggling sluggishly as Byakuya shifted and positioned himself above the shopkeeper, then methodically joined their bodies, "Oh my god! What are you doing?"
Throbs of dizziness and arousal assaulted his senses and Byakuya's glowing body seemed barely in focus as it started a series of powerful undulations.
"Ah!" Kisuke gasped, "C-captain, stop! Th-that was a mating ritual we interrupted! If you don't stop...if you make me...inside you, you...you could...might...oh...OH!...Holy Hell!"
Kisuke's fingers clenched Byakuya's shoulders in a death grip and he stared mindlessly up at the noble's enthralling eyes, his senses leaving him completely and his hips rising heedlessly to meet Byakuya's. The noble's lips curled back, revealing his white fangs that he brought slowly down to brush against the shopkeeper's throat. Kisuke moaned in reaction, tilting his head back and welcoming the swift bite and powerful suction that followed.
In the back of his spinning mind, he realized how the mating was likely to end, but couldn't resist as the two brought their joining to a stunning pinnacle. Byakuya's fangs released his throat for a moment as the noble loosed a scream of surrender and his body stiffened and succumbed to the hard shudders of climax. Kisuke gasped and thrust upward, loosing himself in long, hot throbs, then collapsing on his back and staring up at Byakuya, waiting for the end he expected was coming. But just as the noble's fangs snapped at his throat to tear it out, Byakuya quivered and made a sound of dismay. He panted several times, then fell back, swaying dangerously, then starting to fall. Kisuke surged up and caught him, easing him to the floor and watching as Byakuya's hollow hole slowly closed, and the claws and fangs reverted to graceful fingers and normal white teeth.
"Whew! Not a moment too soon," Kisuke said, shaking his head.
He looked down at his seed splashed body, his mind slowly clearing and realizing the full portent of what had happened.
"Ah...right," he stammered, "Okay."
He picked up Byakuya's limp body and carried him back to the examination table, stiffening as someone knocked on the lab door.
"Mr. Urahara?" Tetsuya's voice called out, "Is my cousin all right? There were a lot of loud noises..."
"Byakuya's okay," Kisuke called back, "just don't come in. There's a lot of broken glass and stuff to clean up."
He let out a weary breath and patted Byakuya's face.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone else see you like this. We'll just pretend this whole thing never happened, right? The reiatsu cleaner sucked out the hollow reiatsu. You're back to normal. You just might have a vizard form in there someplace, but I'll bet you're pleased you're not possessed anymore, huh? Let's just hope..."
He paused and a little shudder went through him.
"Best not to think about that. I'm sure it's fine. He's fine. I'm fine."
He reached up and touched the place on his throat where Byakuya's fangs had pierced him, then attached a smaller suction device to the area.
"Gotta make sure I don't end up a hollow either, right?" he chuckled.
He walked to the sink and prepared a large basin of hot, soapy water, then dampened a cloth. He leaned over Byakuya, slowly bathing him. His hands still shook slightly as they slid the cloth over the expanses of pale skin and healing the signs of damage.
"I really hope you don't remember that," Kisuke mused, "You almost killed me as it was. I know you'd kill me if you knew we'd..."
He paused, gazing at Byakuya's lovely face and sweetly scented body.
I was never with anyone like that before.
I guess every genius has his weak spot, and that's mine. I can anticipate the hell out of most things, but I'm about as sexually innocent as...
A slow smirk spread over his handsome face and an unusual blush touched his cheeks.
At least, I was sexually innocent. I guess I'm not anymore. I can't complain though. He's a perfect specimen...just beautiful. If I had to choose a person to lose my virginity with...
A little stab of uncertainty brought him out of his reverie.
"Let's get you dressed," he mumbled, stumbling across the room and finding Byakuya a fresh yukata.
He dressed the noble, then lifted him and carried him into the hallway and to a guest bedroom, eliciting odd stares from Ichigo, Tetsuya and Tessai as he passed them.
"Um, why was Mr. Urahara naked?" Tetsuya managed softly, blushing brightly and staring in the direction the shopkeeper had gone.
"Uh..." Ichigo mused in a flustered tone, blushing as prominently as his pretty boyfriend.
"I am...sure it was that he was...eh...perhaps splattered with something toxic and had to undress to avoid...consequences."
"R-right," Ichigo agreed, shaking his head, "That's gotta be it."
