Chapter 4 – Wabisuke
He couldn't remember when he woke up or why, he just remembered the black eyes watching him intensely from the window, tail switching and ears moving. Kira sat up carefully, having the sudden urgent feeling covering himself properly. Slowly reaching out for the clothes he touched bare ground, raising an eyebrow and turning his head. His Yukata was somewhere in the Room, laying crumpling in a corner and his whole belongings where a mess. Sighing the young man stood up, whinching a bit when streching his back and cursing the boy. Not only he left his room as if a tornado was there, he also couldn't stop thinking of it. The blonde mostly just was the one being taken, laying passive till it's over he got the money. Or being abused by the man he feared and hated with his whole heart. But this boy let him act and teach him till he dominated the other, but even then he wanted his reaction and action. Getting his dirty clothes he got some towels and made his way to the Onsen.
Rose inner World was in turmoils, seeing him after all this years hit him hard. He really thought he was over the things happening back then, but after the grey-haired mentioned them they all came back – harder then before. Rubbing his face with both his hands he shook his head, thinking about a married man wasn't like him. He had his own life and a responsibility for his subordinates. He may have a brothel, but he cared for the inhabitants as if they were his family. When they were sick he got them a doctor and rest, he never wanted them to be hungry so he always made sure to have enough food around. And he knew that the job they had was something nobody would enjoy, but he still wanted them to be happy as good as they can. But sometimes he wondered what he wanted for himself, knowing deep down what it is. Otoribashi would never mention it, not even to his closest friends, but his whole life he searched for a family. And meeting this boy ; big blue eyes, short blond hair and fearful expressions on his still young face years ago; this was when he suddenly thought he found it. He could never forget the sight of the boy, pressed flat with his body on the wall in an alley, being raped by this fox-faced man. Even after he stepped in and pointed his sword at the taller male he didn't show any sign of anger or surprise on his face. He just let go off the boy, letting him slide down the wall and close his uniform before turning to him, smiling. Coming to him, still with this prominent smile on his lips he stood in front, eyeing him head to toe before he spoke. „Ya want too? This little guy is trained well, i'm sure he can please you with whatever you want" Ignoring the sword pointed at his chest he passed, patting his shoulder as if they were good friends and then he was gone. Later he knew who has was, Ichimaru Gin the new Captain of District 3. He never heard any good things about this man, it seemed after Sousuke Aizen became the new Head Commander off all the Districts the time got cruel. At least he could safe the boy, or so he thought. Not long after this event Ichimaru showed up in his brothel, payed him too much and only wanting Kira. One nigth he stepped in his way again, asking why he only wanted the blond, after all Otoribashi had much more expert males and girls under his command. „Why? Because it's nice to see him broken. His eyes goin' empty whenever seein' me, the pained screams when we're together and the sobs after I'm finished. Izuru is my gem, nobody will have 'm but me. Because nobody will want 'm but me"
Coming back, freshly washed and getting clean clothes, the blond stoped. It was still there, hadn't moved from his current spot and raising his head when hearing him enter. Ignoring it for sometime he cleaned his room, getting rid of the traces of his former encounter, making his bed with fresh clothes and getting the old ones for washing. Putting all the dirty laundry in his basket he walked to the river, getting ready to clean it. The blond stoped when he heared soft steps behind him, turning around abruptly. His eyes widen as he saw he was followed, not directly and still being far enough to run it followed, stopping when he did. Slowly he put the basket down and reached out and as if it was waiting for this sign he came, going around his legs before stopping to be patted. „How long have you been there kitty-cat?" Kira asked, stroking it behind the ears and smiling a bit before watching it closely. The cat didn't look well fed, it was skinny and the long black fur was dirty and uncombed. Two small red strings around the Head made it look as if the cat was wearing hair-items and a grey bigger string was around its body like a belt, but it didn't seem as if the animal seemed to mind. Purring under the ministration he rubbed his head on the boys leg, switching his tail excitedly. „Do you have a master?" forgetting his task about wanting to clean his clothing the blond sat down and kept stroking the cat more, letting it curl up in his lap and feeling delighted hearing this pet purr under his touch. „I'll take care of you little guy"
„Otoribashi-sama..." the man looked up from his current task controlling todays cash and smiled, putting the papers aside to show that the boy had his full attention. It was rare that Kira came to him and asked things, it often broke the older nan's heart because he knew the boy ignored him most of the time, even if he felt nothing but parental love – Kira was his son and he would do everything to see him smile and protect him, even if the boy said that he was annoying and he should leave him alone. „Izuru. What is it?" Blue Eyes looking to him and then something black and furished was shoved into his field of view. „I found it. And I want to keep it." Spitting out some hair the blonde man blinked and got a hold of the hissing monster in his hands, feeling clawing and biting. Not showing his discomfort whenever the sharp teeth met his flesh he forced a smile, holding it out to the boy. „Whatever you want Izuru" Just after the door closed behind him and he heard the steps fade away he cursed out loudly and observing his hands, swearing to himself that he will make gloves out of his fur if he ever met it alone.
Putting a dish with meat on the ground he watched the cat eat it hungrily, gobbling it down right after seeing it. Chuckling a bit the blond observed the animal eyeing the other dish with water carefully before slowly walking up to it, tasting and then drinking it slowly. „You need a Name" the boy just said and as if the pet heard him it stopped his task and looked at him interested, perking his ears up. „Let's see. You looking a bit gloomy and it seems you also had some hard time behind you. I think you must be lonely, that's why you came here right? And you also lost the fear of us humans because you're hungry and cold. We two are alike" Stroking the now soft fur he got the cat on his lap and massaging its tummy, while thinking of a good name for it. „How about Neko-chan?" The Cat looked at him as if it was saying that naming him after his race was silly. „Ah, true true. Naming a cat cat sounds really stupid. Your right. So, what's with meat? You like meat.." Again the cat looked to him with an expression as if it thought he was joking. „Alright, so that's also not good huh? I'm not good with finding names..." Izuru apologized and scratched his cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed. Looking out his window his eyes fell on the flowers outside, his favorite ones. Marigolds. Thinking about its meaning something inside him suddenly came up with a name, looking down at the cat on his Lap. „Now i know how I'll call you. From now on you'll be known under the name: WABISUKE"
