Chapter 2

Sleeping Sickness

I awoke to someone stroking my cheek. I opened my eyes to see a pair of ever familiar brown ones looking back at me.

"You're awake." Sosuke said as he pushed my hair out of my face.

I smiled and placed my hand on his.

"You're so beautiful. I'm glad you chose me and became my queen." He said.

I just smiled and trailed my fingers down his bare chest to his abs. He seemed aroused by it. He slid his hand under the cover and touched my bare skin. I closed my eyes as he caressed my body. He leaned in and kissed me passionately as he softly rubbed my left breast. His kiss moved from my lips to trail down my neck and across my collar bone. He made his way to my chest and sucked on my right nipple as he fondled my left breast. I sighed lightly. He then switched and got the same reaction out of me. After he was finished, he pulled the cover off both of us, revealing our naked bodies. He smiled and ran his hand all the down to my stomach and in between my legs. I gasped as he started to rub me. After making sure I was good and ready, he slipped two fingers inside me and began moving them in and out slowly, forcing moans out of me. It wasn't long before he started doing it harder, making me scream.

"Come on. Come on." He whispered in my ear.

I arched my back up, grasped the bed sheet and did exactly what he intended on me doing. He took his fingers out of me and looked at them. They were dripping wet. He seemed pleased with his work and smirked. He moved so that he was positioned in between my legs. He rubbed my most sensitive area with his erection.

"S-Sosuke." I whispered.

He liked it when I said his name. After I did such, he entered me slowly and moaned lightly. He placed his hands beside each of my shoulders to gain leverage. His thrusts started slowly, just like with his fingers, but they became more vigorous the longer he did it. After a while, he rose up, put his hand around my neck and lightly squeezed it as he thrust harder and faster. His breathe started to get heavy, but I knew he wanted to prolong this, so he slowed down and withdrew. He laid down on his back and I climbed on top of him. I rode him at a pace of my liking for a while, then he pulled me close to him and began thrusting into me. Suddenly, he rolled me over to my side. He also got on his side, never withdrawing from me. He had one arm under me, grabbing my breast. The other arm, he used to lift my leg up with. He was definitely ready to finish now. He started off fast and hard. I was literally screaming because it felt so good. I had finished a few times already. His breathing picked up and so did his moans. I knew what that meant.

"I'm going to.." He said.

"Do it." I demanded.

He thrust he a few more times forcefully and finished inside of me.

"Did you?" He asked.

"More than once." I smiled.

"How about once more?" He reached in between my legs and began rubbing me. I was beyond sensitive at this point, so it didn't take long. I screamed his name when I as I came.

I sat straight up in the bed, sweating and actually feeling as if what happened in my dream actually did occur.

It's times like this that I wish I wasn't able to know you every thought and memory. Unmei commented.

You think I even want to even experience what happened in my dream? I thought back.

Well, your body sure seems to reacting in a manner that would suggest that you liked the experience.

I rolled my eyes. Shut up. I have no control over my dreams.

I looked at Gin lying next to me. He was sleeping soundly and was so adorable. I could probably watch him sleep forever. It made me think about how much I loved him. Why couldn't I dream about him? Why did it have to about Sosuke?

I gently pulled back the covers off of me and got out of bed. I was careful not to wake Gin. I picked The Book up and left the room. I went to Grimmjow's old room, opened The Book and started flipping through the pages.

What are you looking for?

"Anything that can tell me why I'm dreaming about Sosuke."

You think he's doing it, but I just think you're paranoid.

"Maybe I am, but there is only one way to be sure.

We're not paying him a visit.

"Yes we are."

Unmei came out of my body. "And how do you suppose we get there?" She asked.

"Teleport?"

"You have to be able to sense him to teleport to him. His cell will be made out of Sekkiseki, so you're not going to be able to sense him." She informed me.

"I'll find a way in the book then." I told her as I didn't know very much about Sekkiseki, but I figured it wasn't fool proof. I would be able to get in some way. Just then, I found a spell. "Here, I'll use this."

Unmei peered over to the page. "To find a lost love spell?"

"Yeah, it says when you say it, it will teleport you to the loved one you have in mind."

"So Sosuke is a loved one now? You were hating him a second ago."

"Not love, but I do care. That has to count for something and he does love me. Look, all we have to do is try. If it fails, then it does. Never hurts to try."

"Whatever." She crossed her arms.

I went to get candles as the spell called for them. I put them in a circle on the floor, lit them and stood in the center of the circle.

"Ok, it says to bring myself back I have to cast the reversal spell, but it can be cast by a close relative as well. So you stay here and I'll tell you telepathically when I'm ready to come back." I said.

"Oh no. I'm not letting you go there by yourself."

"What's the worst he could do? He's in a cell, Unmei."

"That man has your number. He has you so wrapped around his finger that it's not even funny. There is no telling what he'll get you to do if I'm not there to stop you."

"So you're saying that I'm weak willed?"

"Around him you are."

"Oh, thanks for the vote of confidence."

"It's the truth. I wish I knew how he has a hold on you, so I could break it."

"Have faith in me. I can do this."

"Why can't we just leave him alone?"

I handed Unmei the book. "Hold it facing me, so I can see the spell."

"Hey, I haven't agreed to this."

"You don't have to. I'm in charge here and I'm doing this with or without you."

The look on her face was priceless. I'm sure she couldn't believe I stood up to her. Her expression soon changed back to normal. "Fine. Just make it quick."

I smiled. "Thank you."

"Yeah." She turned the book to where it was facing me.

I concentrated on finding Sosuke then chanted the spell. "Whither my love wherever you be. Through time and space, take my heart nearer to thee." White orbs began swirling around me then teleported me away.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a dark place with very dim lighting. I turned around and seen a cell. It was no doubt Sosuke was it in. He was sitting in a chair. He was blindfolded and gagged with his arms tied. This was awful treatment, even if he had committed a crime. I can't say I expected anything more than this though. I placed my hands on the bars and he lifted his head, like he knew I was there. He couldn't say anything because of being gagged. I could fix that problem though. I used my telekinesis to remove the gag.

"Kristen." He said. "So you've figure it out."

"Figured what out?"

He stood up and almost lost his balance, but didn't fall. He walked closer to the bars. "Maybe this was a coincidence then. I shall explain. It's something I found out in my research of the Nexus. These walls are made of Sekkiseki. It is a material known to negate all spiritual power. Your reiatsu is very different from mine or any other spiritual being. It's very rare, though I suppose you already know that. The Nexus is very picky and for the most part, the people who have received powers from it have either been weak or never even developed their powers. The element of the Nexus in your reiatsu tries to resist the Sekkiseki and it can for a certain amount of time. You should notice that your powers are significantly weaker, because it does weaken you. But you can still use your powers, though nowhere near to their fullest extent. But if you stay here for a substantial amount of time, the Sekkiseki will win the battle and subdue your powers. I never concluded my experiment as to why this happens, but I have reason to believe it's because the Nexus isn't of this world. It had to come from somewhere and whatever it came from was exceedingly powerful. It's also my belief that it was nowhere near this strong when it started out. It grew over the years and now its power is unbelievable. Also another indication that you are very different from other spiritual beings is the color of your spiritual ribbon."

"What's that?"

"It involves a high level technique and only Shinigami and Quincy can use it. It's something you need not worry about. But more on point, Shinigami have red spiritual ribbons. All other beings have white. All others, except for users of the Nexus. Yours is black and has a smoky appearance. I've never seen anything like it."

"What is Raina's? She's part Shinigami."

"Her's is black as well. The Nexus must be dominant."

"I never knew I was this different from everybody else."

"You are. It's rather fascinating." It was quiet for a second. "Not that I don't enjoy your company, but I have to ask, why are you here? You must have a reason."

With the information he had given me, I was thrown off track about why I really came here. I gathered my thoughts and was going to say what I came here to say.

"I want you to stay out of my dreams!" I said sternly.

"You've been dreaming of me, have you?"

"I would seem that way, wouldn't it?" I snapped back.

"I find you rather appealing when you're angry."

I rolled my eyes. "Just stay out, ok?" I started to walk away.

"I can't control what you dream, Kristen."

I turned around. "Yes, you can. You're the one making me do it."

"And how do you propose I accomplish that from in here?"

"How should I know? The hogyoku or something. You still have that thing, don't you?"

"These walls are made of Sekkiseki. I can't do anything. I just explained that to you. If I could, I wouldn't be in here. And I wouldn't waste my time in your dreams. I'd come get you and have you in person."

I rolled my eyes and turned around to leave again.

"I don't understand why you fight it." He said.

"Fight what?" I asked, not turning around.

"Your love for me."

"Love?" I laughed and turned to him again. "I do not love you." I scoffed.

"Then tell me, what do we do in these dreams of yours?"

"I'm not going to tell you."

"I see. I think I can imagine what it is."

"If it's not you, then why am I?"

"Maybe you wonder how things would be if you had chosen me, so your dreams show you. Perhaps it's an extension on your premonition power. It's showing you what could have been."

"No, they're dreams. They have to be."

"And why is that?"

"Well, just because."

"Do you mind taking this off?" He turned around so that I could see his hands tied behind his back.

I walked back to the bars, reached through and untied his hand. Don't ask me why. I figured they had to feed him at some point, so whenever the person came down, they would tie them back. It wouldn't hurt just for now.

He removed what was covering his eyes. "You changed your hair."

"Yeah."

"It's very becoming of you."

"Thanks."

"The pleasure is all mine. While I would like for you to stay, I think you should go. The Sekkiseki is making you weaker. If someone was to come down here when it finally negated all your powers, you'd be helpless. You wouldn't even be able to manifest your sword. And I know how unrefined your hand to hand combat skills are. They wouldn't suffice."

"I guess Gin and Unmei were right. I was just paranoid and you had nothing to do with it. I hate to have to tell Unmei that. She's always right."

Ok, Unmei, I'm ready to go back. I told her telepathically.

About time!

"Kristen, remember that the truth only lies within oneself. You know who you are and how you feel. Do not deny it. Things would be easier on you if you would just accept your feelings." Sosuke said.

I was about to say something, but before I could the white orbs began swirling around me and took me away. When I opened my eyes, I was back in Grimmjow's old room in the circle of candles. I bend down and blew the out.

"Well?" Unmei asked.

"You were right. He didn't have anything to do with it."

"I knew it…"

I cut her off. "Please don't go on about it. I'm tired and going back to bed. Maybe I can sleep now." I walked out of the room. She never said anything, just returned to my mind.

I got back in the bed and Gin turned over. "Where ya been?" He asked sleepily.

"I just went downstairs to get some water." I lied.

"Ya sure was down there a while."

"I started reading an article in a magazine. I finished it and then came back up here."

"No ya didn't."

"What?"

"Don't lie ta me. I couldn't feel yer reiatsu when I woke up. You weren't here."

I smiled slightly. "You never let me twist and turn the truth."

"I'm da king of lying. If yer going lie ta me, better make it believable."

"I'll tell you when we get up what happened."

"Ya don't have ta tell me. I won't force ya."

"I know, but I will. Just not now. I want to try to sleep before it's time to get up."

"A'right."

I laid my head on his bare chest and closed my eyes. I didn't know that I was going to be able to sleep. Now that I know it's not Sosuke doing it, it means it's me. That bothers me, because subconsciously I'm wanting to dream about him apparently. I don't know why though. I'm going to find out though. I have a busy day tomorrow. I was meeting Miranda and Tory at the spa to get a facial and massage. That should help me relax. Then Gin was going to meet us for lunch. It would be Tory's first time meeting him. Then we had the dinner with my parent where I was going to tell them about my pregnancy.

Gin started rubbing my back and finally began to dose off, hopefully to have happy dreams that didn't involve Sosuke.
