Chapter 4: Get to know one another pt:2

~ Byakuya and Renji ~

" This will be our home." Byakuya stated , pride shining in the dark depths of his eyes.

" It'r really big." Renji said in awe as he looked at the place he would live and raise his children in.

" Come. I'll show you around inside." Byakuya said softly as his heart strated to melt for the younger shifter.

" O-okay." The crimson haired teen sputtered cursing Ichigo for being right about the raven haired male just being the shy stoic type. He found himself actually attracted to the black lion.

Walking up the the wooden steps he removed his sandles on the wrap around proche before following the lion in and gawked as he entered the spacious living area. The room was light and open with large plush red cushions placed around the fire pit which was used for cooking meals and boiling tea for guests. The walls wear decorated with various animals skins, some used to cover windows a, but could easily be pinned back. Once he was done looking around he followed the other to the restroom and found himself in the lap of luxury as he found a stand with basin of water placed in front of a large free hanging mirror ,so that he could see himself when he washed his face and took care of his hair. The next thing he oogled was the large wooden tube that looked like it could hold both of them with out breaking, but the one thing that had him puzzled was the square box with a hole thesixe of a plate in its center.

" What is that?" Renji asked in puzzlement.

" The toilet or chamber pot." Byakuya said slowly."

" Doesn't it leave a stench?" The crimson haired tiger asked confused.

" It's a very deep hole that leads out the side of the mountain." The raven lion evplained feeling his pants tighten as his guest blushed in embarassment for not knowing any of what he was talking about." My father knew a mole shifter and he dug it as a favor to my father." He went on to explain further.

" So it just goes down and out?"

" You have to pour water down it from time to time, but it's much more efficent that a regular pot." He said before moving the cloth aside and stepping from the room giving Renji the signal it was time to move on to the next room.

Saving the bedroom for last, Byakuya moved the animal pelt to the side so that the other could walk in and see their room.

" This will be our room." The stoic lion rumbled softly.

Once again in awe, he looked at his surroundings. On the walls was ink paintings and decorative wepaons replica's, but what he liked the most was the decorative fans that eached had a Sakura tree painted on them in fullbloom. In the middle hung a black sheathed sword with a white hilt, black dimonds running down the center of it, which was habging on the wall at the head of the bed.

" Is that real?" Renji asked curiously.

" Yes, it's been passed down from my mothers side to the next heir when he or she comes of age." Byakuya said proudly.

" Oh, cool. Where did you find the fans?"

" My father actually painted them as a home warming gift."

" What! He painted those!." Renji all but spazzed.

" Yes, you'll be meeting them later tonight. We will be having dinner with them."

" Sure." The crimson tiger teen answered nervously before going back to looking around.

He noticed the bed next as It was different from what he was used to. The futon cott was big enough for two, but he was used to that since his parents had one, no it was the frame it was on. It looked to be on a thick slab of wood held up by six sturdy eight inch stilts. At the sides of the bed were strips of bear pelt so the when you stepped out of it your feet wouldn't freeze on the cold wooden floor and at the foot of the bed lay a chest where he guessed his and his mates clothes would be stored.

" Where will the children sleep?" Renji asked worried, but looked up timidly at the thought of mating with the man before him.

" I have four other rooms, but they are empty...for now." Byakuya answered in a sensual tone.

" Oh!" Renji snapped up to look at the other in surprise before his lips were caught in a chaste kiss.

Having wanted to to kiss the other since they walked in to the bedroom, Byakuya couldn't stop himself from deepening it. They jumped apart as they heard a thuud from the other room and Grimmjow shouting for the black lion. Walking out , the two spotted Grimmjow standing there pissed, but smug with and unconscious Ichigo lay on the gound next to his feet. Seeing his downed cousin, Renji ran to the orange haired tiger.

" Ichigo! What did you do to him?" Renji growled as he placed the other red tigers head in his lap.
