After receiving those "gifts" if you could call it that Byakuya decided it was time to go home because if he got one more of those "things" he thought distastefully something or someone one was going to die and everyone knew to never deliver anything of that nature to the Kuchiki manor for that very same reason they would have to face his wrath.
Closing his eyes he let out another deep exasperated breath, what on earth had made those women give out those gifts. The sad thing was that this though was really biting at him because after all he was a man and for some inexplicable reason this was just getting the better of him. Because what were the girls going to do if the men found out who gave that gift to them. It would really be unfair if they out right rejected the poor boys plus he would have to deal with a pouting Renji for days and that thought along irked him because the boy would be all but useless and nothing would get done.
Walking silently into the house he felt Rukia's small exited presence somewhere and this thought exasperated and slightly depressed him more. He could not well he did not want to imagine his little Rukia using one of those things ,and when he did he just wanted to beat his head into a wall because he was her Nii-sama damn it he wasn't supposed to be thinking these thoughts. At the same time it angered him because he was a man, not a monk he had eyes, and he was not completely made of steel self control could only go so far and he was almost at the end of his rope .
He was not a weak man, but tonight he just needed to get his tea and go to bed early .Donning his night cloths he now set out to get his nightly tea. Walking down the hall he still felt Rukia jittery little presence in the house at the very least her knew she was getting a huge laugh out this that would be the only reason her raitsu was so high tonight. That was the final nail in the coffin no one and he meant no one would make a joke at his expense.
Turning down the main long corridors was when he saw her it was her but it wasn't her .All he could see was this little doll in a dark red kimono and a black obi that was tied in a bow he watched her pull and adjust the garment he couldn't help but smirk at her attempts as she cursed at it.
"Then you should have worn it properly and not had it tied so tight."
He said firmly and had to snicker as he watched here jump out her own skin and almost fall flat on her face because she turned to sharp in the kimono she was so unused to wearing . When she made it full circle he almost lost it again. In front of him was what looked to be a very X rated doll the kimono its self looked to be two sizes to small and hugged every piece of her little body like a glove leaving everything and nothing to the imagination . What made it worse was her obi that was tied around her waist was giving her a waist accentuating her hips and bust. Truly looking her over she was irresistible, and in that moment he made up his mind brother , clan leader , captain aside he was a man and he wanted her and there was no way he would let Abari get his hands on her.
Rukia smiled as she did one final adjustment to her hair sticks looking into the mirror she couldn't help but smirk. All the women were going to go out tonight dressed like the pretty little box's they had , had delivered today. Along with sending out the unique gifts they were also throwing a white day party like they did every year however, this year they would all be wearing red Kimono with black obi's then instead of the obi's being tied traditionally they would be tied like the bow's like the ones that they had placed on top of the box as well there hair would also be done up in black lacquer hair sticks. Each woman had her own personality that would show through but they thought it would be fun to not give a hint of anything else. This made Rukia giggle another thing for the men to try to unwrap.
Turning quickly like she usually did the Kimono got twisted around her calves and she stumbled and laughed it had truly been ages since she had worn one. Having sworn them off after the last extremely formal tea ceremony she was forced to perform for the Kuchiki elders. She shivered involuntarily at that thought that truly was a horrible day .She thought she would sweat through the seven layers she was wearing. Tonight she was significantly lighter due having significantly less layers and no starch making her a lot happier and cooler.
So taking much smaller steps she tried as quickly as possible to make it to the door before her Nii-sama came home because there was really no telling what kind of mood he would be in. Well it couldn't be that bad the vibrator she gave him was the smallest of the rest and the least offensive besides she did give him his normal white day chocolate he loved so much.
"Ugh!" she let out a frustrated sigh as she had to adjust her step yet again "Damn thing." She muttered under breath looking down at the tightly wrapped Kimono.
"Then you should have worn it properly and not had it tied so tight."
The deep baritone voice came from behind Rukia and almost made her jump out of her skin. Nii-sama wasn't supposed to be home at this time. . . He never was. Turning slowly so she could take her time and not actually have to face him because at this moment she didn't think she could without blushing knowing the gift she had given him today that, and she really didn't want to get wrapped up and fall flat on her face.
She turned to face him and sure enough there was her Nii-sama , but she had to pause he was in his evening kimono . . What the hell? . . He was home and dressed down already? Did hell freeze over? he usually wasn't home until eight it was six and was never dressed down until about ten right before he went to bed and sometimes he never dressed down until after he got done with his walk at god knows what time am.
"Nii-sama!" She couldn't hide sounding as surprised as she was . Quickly she smoothed out her kimono and looked up at him and smile "I didn't expect you home this early." Rukia laughed nervously and continued to fidget or attempt to.
Rukia watched his face become unreadable as he looked at her seeming to take her all in .
"I had an interesting day at work and decided it best to come home."
"Oh?" she tilted her head to the side innocently "I hope it wasn't bad."
Byakuya's eyes seemed to boar into her as he continued "As I said it was." he paused for a moment as if he was looking to find the words "Interesting I received some unique gifts in surprisingly beautiful wrapping."
"SHIT!" her mind screamed as she kept a placid smile on her face. "He is not happy at all."
"And where they to your enjoyment?"
He looked her up and down once again. "Yes I did find your gift particularly pleasing."
Rukia let out a slow mental sigh of relief he wasn't angry.
She kept her pleasant smile on her face hoping to find out more . "And are you going to put this gift to good use?" she smiled prettily.
"I already have."
Rukia couldn't help it as her eyes got big in surprise.
"You know I always enjoy the chocolate that you give me every year Rukia."
His lip tilted up slightly into what could be the start of a smile the man actually had the nerve to do that . He never smirked or smiled or did anything like that . . . . Then it hit her. He was baiting her.
She wasn't going to bit "Well then I am happy my Nii-sama liked his gift." Straightening her posture so she could move a little easier and turned starting to make her way down to the door.
"Rukia."
She paused and looked back.
"You almost look like one of those beautiful boxes' I opened today. You wouldn't happen to know anything about those beautiful red boxes' tied with black bows that were going around today would you"
She watched him walk towards her with a look that could only be described as predatoril both lips tilted at the edges. He continued walking up to her with that look making her more and more nervous.
"No. . . . "Her voice stopped as she felt his hands rest on her shoulders adjusting the neck line of the kimono to show just the slightest part of her back and shoulders moving deftly to her hips he straightened the bow and smoothed out the ribbons that ran down the back making them just perfect .
Her brain hit the universal off switch as he touched her. "I don't. . . "Her voice came out like she had lost every piece of common sense she ever had .
Slowing walking around to face her he actually smiled , never in her entire existence had she ever seen that man smile and she could now see why. It was devastating the type of smile that made women worship at his feet if he were to ever grace them with it. Stepping away he looked to be assessing her
"Much better."
This was the Nii-sama she knew, the one bent on symmetry and perfection. Rukia almost rolled her eyes thanking god he did something to remove her from her pervious state of stupidity and remind her who he really was.
"But if I may ask Rukia dear, where are you going tonight dressed as such?"
Nervously she trying to smooth the tightly wrapped kimono without much success. "Well it is white day Nii-sama and you know the woman's association always throws a party."
He looked over her once more looking to ponder something. "You know," He paused "Those gifts that I got today were just to interesting to not join out in the festivities. Like I told you I received two red box's and it would be rude for me to just ignore the gifts and not acknowledge their creative owners."
"Two." Her voice came out shaper then she would have liked it. He was only supposed to get one , slowly she felt her little hand clench into a fist.
"Yes, I did say two I do not think I stuttered."
Rukia shook her head and bit her lip trying to keep her expression natural and not show the annoyance she felt. "No Nii-sama did not stutter."
Turning Byakuya started to walk down the hall but paused "And Rukia I truly did enjoy the chocolate you gave me today thank you."
After she watched him leave down the hallway she unclenched her fists and let out a frustrated noise. "How in the hell had he gotten two , which one of those stupid bitched would dare give him one after he was decreed off limits. He was hers damn it!
Byakuya head Rukia's muffled little scream as he walked away from her and smirked he would get the names of the women who gave him those damned gifts even if it took ever dirty trick he knew . He had a two hundred year old arsenal that he could pull from .He wasn't always as starched as what he was now he knew what pressure points to push and how hard to push and with the truths he and Rukia had learned during those three horrible days he knew he could push her buttons with just a simple smile and acting like a man not a stone .He would get what he wanted and then there would be hell to pay.
Rukia paced the main hall waiting for her brother to get redressed which was taking much more time than it usually did. She knew he was a particular man and everything about him was always impeccable, straight, ironed and starched. Letting out a long sigh all she could do was think of his smile putting that together with the vision of him when he was practicing with her shirt off made shiver . How could she have acted like such a total utter moron when he adjusted her earlier? It should be a crime for a man to look that good , it just wasn't fair. Pausing mid stride she caught herself he was her Nii-sama her bloody Nii-sama she shouldn't be thinking of him in this light it wasn't right, it was totally wrong and it was totally unfair that she couldn't act on any of it.
"Gahhhh."
She let her frustration out audibly besides no one was around she thought bitterly. She started to pace again. She was getting cranky she couldn't believe it she was actually getting frustrated at just the thought of that man . But what was she thinking she had given him that stupid vibrator, did she honestly think he would do a bloody thing beside's kick her out of the family once he found out it was her. All she really had to work with was those three stupid days that serum ran through their systems and who really knew if that was real or just stupidity running rampant. What the hell her thoughts were bouncing around like a bloody yoyo and in doing so she was just getting herself even more worked up over that self, centered ,egocentric ,ass hole! Whatever, if she just ignored him he would just go away and things would go away because she was the last person on earth anyone would think would do that and with that final thought she had convinced herself she was happy.
There was a knock at the door interrupting her mid stride. Turning she had to walk slowly to the door and in her process there was another impatient knock .
"Hold on" she snapped.
Opening the door she saw Matsumoto at the door.
"Well hello to you too Rukia." The other woman smirked down at the litterer one "Has this Kimono really made you that grumpy? I thought you noble types got off on this stuff."
Rukia gave the other woman an exasperated look and sighed internally. It was also really unfair for women like her to exist in this world as well. They ruined for all other women with their perfect bouncy breasts , flawless figure and just all around themness . The one thing that made every male with in eye shot drool.
Rukia really had to get her bitterness under control this was supposed to be a fun night.
"So what are we waiting for?" the blond woman asked curiously as she smoothed out her own equally tight fitting Kimono.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out "Nii-sama is going to join us tonight."
"What!" Matsumoto squealed excitedly "He really is going to join us."
They heard a very male voice clear his voice.
"Yes, I really am going to join you."
There was a momentary pause as both women could not help but stair at Byakuya he looked , well he looked amazing there really were not words for it . He had brought out his formal Kenseikan and had his hair brushed to a glossy shine. Gone was his captains uniform and there stood a living breathing man in normal cloths. He had on a nice black silk Hakama complete with black haori and a black obi. There was no scarf no gloves. Rukia was pretty sure she had taken on that same stupid expression she had managed earlier that night.
"Taichou Kuchiki." Matsumoto said breathlessly.
"Yes." He arched his eyebrow and tilted his lip up into that start of a smirk as he walked forward extending his hand to Matsumoto inviting her to join him.
"It is good to have you coming to our humble party."
What was this brain dead twit doing acting like she actually had manners, was she the one who had given him the other vibrator Rukia thought suspiciously. By this time Rukia was actually getting prickly and was fighting to keep her pleasant face on.
She watched as he allowed a full fledged smile to grace his lips as he extended his other hand to Rukia .
"Would you mind if I escorted you two lovely ladies ."
Begrudgingly she gave him her hand gracefully , she was not going to fall for whatever he had planned or whatever drug might have been placed somewhere in his food or drink.
"It would be our honor Nii-sama."
She heard Matsumoto mumble something incoherently and watched as her friend lost close to all of her brain cells.
"Oh." Byakuya paused in mid step as they walked to the gate. "I almost forgot something I was going to give to you to complete your outfit tonight Rukia."
What in the world was this man doing she thought irritated try to mask all of her feelings. Letting go of both of their hands he reached into his pocket and pulled out a large Onyx choker . Again she head the brain dead twit next to her gasp, she just gave Byakuya a very unimpressed expression that only he could see . Securing it around her neck he smiled even more.
"There it looks perfect, don't you think so Rangiku ."
All the other simpering woman could do was nod.
"Thank you Nii-sama it is truly beautiful." And she meant it too but she still was not going to give into whatever it was that he wanted to know. She would not get sucked into that orbit that was now known as Byakuya Kuchiki.
He smiled again then reached out for Matsumoto's hand and hers alone leaving Rukia to herself , but it didn't matter at all she thought to herself petulantly he could take whom ever's hand he wanted she could care less .
Squaring her shoulders she looked at both of them with a polite smile. " I will meet both of you at the party I have something I forgot I must attend to." With a perfect smile she nodded to Byakuya and sashayed off elegantly as if she had done it all her life.
She could not stomach seeing him hold Matsumoto's hand again it just wasn't fair and she wasn't that big of a masochist. Who was she really kidding no matter how bitchy and cold she was to him she could not ignore her tug of jealousy that was pulling on her. He was gorgeous, charming, and brilliant in her eyes and had a smile to die for she had sufficiently fallen for her Nii-sama. She could kick herself for it.
Byakuya smiled as he watched Rukia glide off he knew she had nothing to take care of that she was using it as an excuse to get away. He could practically feel her body humming with tension and anger but he wasn't quite sure why she was so angry. Regardless he had gotten under her skin and he knew it and it pleased him. If he could crack Rukia he knew he could stop all of this foolishness.
He just had no idea that merely acting like a man would set her off in that direction but it did. He thought it would just make her thaw enough to talk to him not look like she wanted to slap him into next week. As a matter of fact he thought she would love the necklace he had given her to wear with most women as he remembered it was a step in the right direction to show a growing affection towards them .
Sighing internally he looked over at the woman by his side a woman he did not want by his side he wanted that little woman that has walked away from him so angrily there instead. That had been the hole point and it looked like this was going to blow up in his face . He was knee deep in it now and there didn't look like there was a way of getting out of it.
Thankfully relief was only a few feet away they were almost at the hall they were holding the party at he could finally drop Hitsugaya's Lieutenant off and pray the night would go fast and he could at least get some information on who sent him those two horrid gifts.
Upon entering the hall he ever so politely thanked Matsumoto for the honor of letting him escort her to this gathering as he put it . He watched her giggle and utter some sort of non sense before walking off thank god that was quick and painless .
As Byakuya looked around he realized this night would be fare from painless , it would be excruciating for every male in the room . It was turning out that the Women's Associations day to make every man in the Seireitei hard. The room was decorated almost like well he was quiet sure but it looked tortuous to any male with hormones , instead of the tables and chair that should have been there were large round cushions scattered around room . There were tables but instead of regular food they had put out an assortment of sinful finger food as he was currently watching Shunsui look like he was going to have a heart attack as his little Nanao tilted her head back and eat the better part of a chocolate covered strawberry with a look of pure ecstasy as she curled into his kimono . Byakuya really couldn't believe what he was seeing he watch the normally strict woman laugh and pull his fellow Taichou closer to her and offer him the rest . After he ate it he leaned in to kiss Nanao but she grabbed her glass of champagne kissed him on the nose and fluttered away even to Byakuya that was cruel.
Looking around the room some more he realized the lights were dimmed and there were various candles light everywhere giving the room and seductive ambiance . As well each woman of the Association was wearing the same thing the same skin tight red and black kimono that left nothing to the imagination and looking exactly like little gifts to open. Some of the women were walking around with trays of champagne serving them liberally laughing and flirting with these poor men who looked like they were about ready to explode.
It amazed him each woman had her own personality in the same outfit , Like his little Rukia had more exposed then he had ever seen her , Matsumoto actually had her bust covered making it look like with one little pull on her black obi everything would come out. Nanao if possible had her kimono falling off her shoulders and possibly the most horrifying thing he saw was Soifon actually looked softer and wearing a full kimono hair undone from her braids and done up, Byakuya didn't know if he should be more afraid of her like this or in her uniform because now she could kill someone and look hot doing it.
"They really out did themselves this time didn't they." He heard Ukitake's voice next to him.
Looking over he saw Ukitake and Kyoraku standing next to him and couldn't help but nod.
"But what brought you out tonight Kuchiki?"
Byakuya opened his mouth but before he could say a work Kyoraku chuckle.
"Let me guess you received one of those lovely little devices in the box's that look ever so much like our dear little waitress's do."
"I got two." Byakuya said coldly
Both men look impressed
Shunsui took this time to harass his young disciple. " We always knew you were a heart breaker."
If looks could kill the older man would be dead.
"But let me get this clear so we are on the same page both of you two got vibrators as well."
Ukitake laugh and nodded his head "Though I must say as far as it goes I think I may have gotten the most interesting one. It was a clear anatomically correct one with little hearts in and around it. It was the oddest thing. In all my years I never knew they came with different speeds apparently this one comes with three and it does more than just vibrate it actually moves in circles, up and down and heats up a little .
Kyoraku whistled " Wow your women went all out with you didn't she because I thought mine was the most interesting but I think your has put mine to shame . Who ever gave me mine gave me one that was neon purple and it has the damndest thing an inch below the head it has beads that look like pearls and they move around in circles . I didn't look to see if it had any other speeds or functions the beads alone just about blew my mind." both men laughed
Byakuya couldn't believe what he was hearing he felt like his ears were going to bleed if he heard any more. Had everyone lost their minds this white day.
Both men now turned to Byakuya with ear to ear grins. "And what two did our little Byakuya get." Ukitake chuckle not being able to keep a straight face as he said this.
Byakuya's face turned bright red . "I am not discussing this with you two."
"Hmm he sounds quiet petulant doesn't he." Kyoraku smirked as Ukitake nodded. "Much like he did when he was a child" both men laughed as Kyoraku laughed he picked up a glass of champagne from a passing Soifon who just winked flirtatiously causing all three men to blink in pure confusion, borderline horror and fear. Letting out a sigh of relief as the danger known as Soifon passed, he handed the glass to Byakuya "Have a drink , relax our girls are just having a little fun."
Suddenly the croud hushed as the door opened and in walked Captain commander Yamamoto in a black satin smoking jacket and silver hakima pants, and a big black bag in hand with a sly grin.
"Commander!" A very sober Masumoto bounced over to him taking him by the hand not looking the slightest bit frightened of him as she lead him to one of the larger cushions " What are you doing here?"
The old man smiled and patted her cheek "I have just come to see my little darlings who game me such wonderful gifts and give them gifts of their own."
Byakuya watched in amazement as he gave Matsumoto a little black bag .The woman giggled and kissed the old man on the cheek before lounging back on the cushion he was standing in front of .
Before he realized it Yamamoto was surrounded by the woman on the cushion , and he looked to be eating it up as he gave the women a gift or got a kiss on the cheek .
They all watched the old man take a seat on the cushion and smile letting each woman doted on him . The older man was laughing with each of the girls and looked them over appreciatively as they stood up or crawled over to get there gifts , and it seemed he got a bigger kick watching the women blush when they saw what it was .
Looking over to Unohanna he smirk "I have to make sure my girls are happy."
"And you did such a good job." She kissed him on the cheek and lounged next to Momo who was behind him whispering and giggling.
The three men watched as Yamamoto pulled a smiling Soifon over to his lap " And here is my number one girl." They watched and held their breath as Soifon sat docilely in his lap crossing her legs letting them catch a glimpse of flesh that had never been exposed .
"Oh god," Byakuya whisper " I seriously thought he was going to die."
All three of them looked like they were going to witness a mass slaughtering.
Soifon kissed him on the nose "As it should be." She smiled arrogantly looking over the rest of the girls with an air of supremacy.
Every man in the room watched the old man look over and appreciated what was supposed to be there white day gifts making every one of them jealous that ,that old man t could get that much action.
The women were on and off the couch laughing and giggling not seeming to care if a stray piece of skin from there leg or there arm showed as they looked completely at ease with each other and the old man himself.
Byakuya watched a laughing Rukia detangle herself from Nanao and Matsumoto and slip her way off the cushion pulling her kimono back over her shoulder where it had slipped off .
Walking over to the three men with a glass of champagne of her own she smiled brightly her cheeks were pink with having been laughing as she looked up at Byakuya "Oh relax Byakuya ." she bumped his thigh with her hip. "We are just having some fun." She reached up and kissed him on the cheek and went to walk away before she could get two steps away to go to talk to another group he had her by the wrist .
Growing quiet annoyed and not sure what the hell was going on he looked down at Rukia.
"What is the meaning of this?" he demanded . He shook his looking increasingly angry. "No." he said harshly "I really don't want to know." Looking back over at the cushions with Yamamoto in his smoking jacket and the girls around him Byakuya let out a little growl. "That's it we are going home." He snarled and pulled her to the door.
Shunpoing so fast she lost her glass somewhere along the line she quickly found herself in the main hall at home with a very angry looking Byakuya
"What was the meaning of that!" he yelled at her.
