Chapter 2: Shocking
Uryu sat up late into the night he was not waiting for Byakuya but he was worried whe the older man did not come. So he sood going out into the hallway. He saw a gaurd rushing towards him. "I am ok I am just going to see Byakuya" Uyru had finally stoped adding Sama to the kings name. The guard seemed glad that the young man was alright.
Byakuya sat at his dsk not noticeing the time. He was currently looking over a rreport he had just recived from Grimmjow and Toshiro the 2 he hasd sent on the mission he had been talking with his cousin about. The 2 had been in anothe kingdom looking for any hints of the fugatives that had escaped during Yumi's plan. He was espeaily interested in finding Aizen. It was well known that Aizen had a fortress near the old palace that was now farmland and king had sent many men to the fortress but none could remember anything they had seen or expierenced once inside. After 15 men Byakuya had stopped sending them. He knew it was Aizen's magic.
"Move it shorty"Grimmjow growled he was in no mood to deal with Toshiro for one more minute. The king had taken there report and bid them goodnight, "Shouldn't you get back to your giant, I know my Hana is waiting." The savage looking man grinned as the white haired boy tenced. "Oh did I strike a nerve" he said smiling a wild look in his eyes. I just wish we had found more on those bastards"he said then he stalked off like the beast Byakuya often accused him of being. Soon he was at the door to the room he shared with Tetsuya. He still didn't know how his Hana had convinced the king to let them share a room. He opened the door slowly but he did not see his Hana so he went to look for him.
Byakuya threw the report into the fireplace not careing that it was destroyed. "Damn it" he said into the empty office. The 2 men had found out Aizen had more men working for him then anyone thought. However there seemed to be a group that was closer to him then the others. Grimmjow had been part of this group. They had also learned that Aizen and and his magic had come from a place far far away. Aizen was more powerful then they had thought and he seemed obsessed with destroying Byakuya. The king knew they had to find this monster not for his sake, Aizen was dangerous for everyone. He knew Yumi had been just another pawn in Azien's game. Unfortunatly Byakuya had no idea what Aizen's ultimate goal was, what was his plan. Suddenly he heard a noise at the door he lifted his head as it opened. "Uryu" he said he was surprised to see the young man. Uryu did not normally leave his workshop and if he did it was to go to the gardens. He certinly never came here to the office "are you alright" he asked.
Uryu smiled "you did not come at your normal time so I got worried" he told himself he had not been waiting for Byakuya but maybe he had been after all the older man made him feel safe enogh to sleep. He did not like being so dependant but after what he had been threw no one blamed him. "I hear we are going on a trip, where to" he asked surprised to learn not even Byakuya knew the answer to that question but he wasn't worried. He smiled going to stand closer to the older man "I think this might be fun. Ummm I have remembered something from my time with Yumichika. There was a pink haired man I spent days at a time with. He told me if his exparaments went the way they should I would be like Tetsuya. I did not know your cousin at the time. Now I do but I still do not know what he ment. Do you?" The look on Byakuya's face told Uryu that he knew exactly what the younger man was asking about.
"That is not for me to tell you or anyone else but if they worked you are not in any danger I promise" Byakuya knew things about his cousin that not even his beast knew. He reached out a hand and tucked Uryu's bangs behind hs ear. "It is late let's get you to bed" Byakuya said he was surprised when Uryu asked to sleep in Byakuya's room this was rare but he ccould not refuse Uryu anything. Soon the two lay in Byakuya's bed Uryu tucked against him.
Uryu felt Byakuya's arm drape over his waist he let out a sigh this felt good. He was getting used to being touched and not getting upset. He let hiself fall into sleep joined by Byakuya.
"Why do we have to go" Renji had jusr been told they would be oing on the trip as well. "It should be somthing romantic between the two of them. He wanted his boss to be happy and that ment being with Uryu. "Fine" he was only acting upset since he was always happy to serve byakuya. Renji was currently brushing Arashi who was Tetsuya's horse. Normally Arashi would be chewing on Renji or picking on him another way but he liked being brushed so for the momeny he was letting the redhead brush him.
Ichigo punched Renji in the face knocking the redhead on his ass. "The fact is we have to go. Look I think it should be just them too but Ukitake wants them to have gaurds. Not that Byakuya needs them but it is what it is. Now I am going to bed see you in the morning" Ichigo was in a bad mood so he left to go to sleep he needed it. He wondered how long it would take Renji to stop being stupid but he knew that Byakuya would always be Renji's priority.
Renji was not stupid he knew why Ichigo was upset but he could not fight the king. Orders were orders no matter what plans they may have. Renji finished brushing Arashi putting the brush away. He really needed some advice but he did not know who to go to. His mind woundered a little as he walked to his room. Byakuya had taken Renji in when no one else cared. Beore then his was a battle crazed thug like Kenpachi or Ikkaku. Now he had structure in his life in the form of making sure everyone was sfafe. Renji undressed putting on what he slept in and sslipped into bed soon he was relaxed after packing. "You awake" he asked getting a grumbled answer of yes. He took a breath "Look at it this way you get away from that psyco. Ichigo I know we had plans to visit your fmily and finally tell your dad about us. After that we can be open about us" Renji was cut off by a glare from the orange haired man.
"You think they don't know you can be such an idiot" Ichigo said. "Yeah yeah we will go another time I don't want to deal with my dad's level of stupid anyway" he said. The more I think about this trip the more I think it i a good idea" Itchigo tried to be angry but he couldn't he gave Renji a soft kiss before going back to sleep.
Back in Byakuya's room the king was watching Uryu sleep he as happy there was no trip had seemed like a bad idea at first but now it seemed good. It could help them grow closer which was good. Letting his mind go to other things he tenced thinking about Grimmjow being back and what that ment for his cousi. Due to Tetsuya's pasy Byakuya was very protective of him that was the main reason he disapproved of that beast Grimmjow. But all that was not important right now the important thing was Uryu ad his well being. Byakuya loved Uryu and was willing to do anything except push the younger man to move faster then he was able to go. He was sure that when they fell in love again it would be purer and deeper then before. After a few more worried yet loving looks at Uryu Byakuya lay his head on his pillo and let sleep reclaim him.
Tetsuya stood, quietly looking down into the bubbling, sweet scented water of the palace's opulent bathing pool as his attendant slid the silken, royal blue yukata from his shoulders and set it neatly aside. Tetsuya stepped down into the water, his mind wandering and one hand trailing down onto his slim belly.
How shall I tell him?
Grimmjow is such an independent person. He is so spirited. I love him just as he is. I just wonder of this will be too much for him to accept. I think he will be happy. I hope he will. But what will I say to him when he gets back?
He felt his attendant's hands began to rub soap onto his bare, wet skin, then to work it slowly into a lather. His brow furrowed as the hands that touched him, and that had started out feeling calm and respectful, began to touch him with more intimacy. Startled, he turned his head to look and found himself sinking into Grimmjow's blue eyes as his lover busied his mouth with a long, deep and very wet greeting kiss.
"When did you get back?" Tetsuya asked, holding Grimmjow tightly and meeting him for several more equally passionate kisses, "I was worried sick. I hate that Byakuya had to send you."
"What's to be worried about?" Grimmjow chuckled, his heart warmed by Tetsuya's concern for him, "You know…cats…nine lives? Jeez, you did miss me, didn't you?"
The two dropped into the water with a resounding splash, hastily winding their bodies into an erotic tangle that quickly overwhelmed the two and left them flushed and panting as they laid in the shallow water, looking up at the ceiling.
"Grimmjow," Tetsuya said, looking at the blue-haired man out of the corner of his eye, "I have something that I must tell you. I…I hope you won't be angry. It's something that you probably won't expect, but I think it is a good thing."
"What's a good thing?" Grimmjow asked, his hand playing gently over his lover's warm, soft privates, "How could this get any better?"
"I know you're very independent. You haven't had many attachments, but what we have is good, isn't it?" Tetsuya asked.
"Hell yeah," Grimmjow chuckled, "I tell you every time we're together how crazy in love you make me. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I know your cousin doesn't like me so much, but I stay out of his way, follow his orders. Whatever it takes so he won't get pissed and stop letting me see you."
Tetsuya gave Grimmjow a sweet little smirk that set off a fresh bout of animated kisses.
"I don't think it's the seeing that he minds."
"Yup," Grimmjow snickered, "I think it's that he gets irritated thinking of me putting my paws all over you."
"Byakuya knows I love you," Tetsuya said firmly, "Although…I am worried about him knowing what I've discovered. It may test his limits when it comes to you and me."
"What? How?" Grimmjow asked.
"Well," Tetsuya said, capturing Grimmjow's wandering hand and moving it to touch his soft abdomen, "what if I told you that I'm a little bit…different?"
Grimmjow frowned.
"Different how?" he asked, confusion in his voice, "Honey. I've been all over that hot, sweet little body of yours, and you look perfectly beautiful and very normal to me."
Tetsuya blushed. He looked around the chamber, not seeing the attendant who still lingered nearby, but was screened by a tall, white pillar.
"It isn't something you can see," he went on, "It's something inside me. I am…made a little differently, and because of that, even though I am male, I am able to…have a child."
Grimmjow blinked in surprise, connecting with Tetsuya's eyes and reading the mingled hopefulness and worry in them. He felt a beautiful little quiver in his chest that seemed to travel down into his own belly, weakening his legs.
"You're not saying anything," Tetsuya said worriedly, "Are you angry, Grimmjow?"
"Angry," the blue-haired man repeated, shaking his head, "I'm not angry. I think I'm about to pass out. I can't have just heard you right. You're saying, you're…?"
"I'm going to have a baby," Tetsuya said, swallowing hard and biting at his lips.
Grimmjow gazed raptly into Tetsuya's lovely, happy eyes and felt warmth spread through his whole body. Then, a little chill stabbed through his insides as another thought hit him.
"Damn," he whispered, "Hana, the king's going to kill me with his own hands, isn't he?"
"I won't let him!" Tetsuya laughed sweetly, grabbing his grinning lover and hugging him tightly, "I just have to think of the right way to tell him."
The two young men began kissing again and soon were wrapped tightly around each other's bodies and unaware of the attendant as he slipped silently out of the bathing chamber.
Byakuya was drawn from sleep by a soft knock. Opening the door he found Tetsuya's attendant. "Is everything alright" he asked the young servent. He listened carefully to what they had to say. Calmly as ever he slipped a robe over his night cloths tieing it around his waist. He made his was to the baths his eyes searched around finding the lovers quickly enough. He cleared his throat drawing the attention of his cousin and his beast. He was not angry but he wanted Grimmjow to think he was. But in reality he was more concerned then angry.
"I think congratulations are in order. Grimmjow the two of us need to talk...now."
