Hello my lovelies! I am so sorry it took me so long...things have been kind of crazy lately. But...enough about me! On to the story!
(this was meant to be a Christmas special, but I had a different idea in mind)
Chapter Seven
Meiko had to admit, Byakuya was a man of his word. When he told her the night before that he would give her 'so much more' in the morning, she thought he was exaggerating. He wasn't. Not in the slightest. That man most certainly did give her more...and more and more and more...he didn't seem to notice (or care about) the fact that Hawk, Dante, and Marcus returned. Meiko had a feeling that Hawk couldn't help but listen to them from behind the door. 'Which is really creepy.' She thought. Next to her, Byakuya napped peacefully. At least, that's what Meiko assumed. She never knew what was going on in that man's head. She smiled, brushing a lock of ink black hair from the noble's forehead. 'He's so cute when he sleeps.'
"Mmmm...what are you doing, Meiko..." Byakuya grumbled sleepily. Meiko chuckled and kissed his temple. "Nothing, Byakuya. Just...thinking." She replied, getting out of bed and slipping on Byakuya's dress shirt. The woman opened the bedroom door, but slammed it shut as soon as she saw the other guys. All of them had knowing smirks on their faces. 'Pervy bastards...' Taking a deep breath, Meiko opened the door again and glared hotly at Hawk, Dante, and Marcus. "Care to explain why you're standing outside my door like a bunch of creeps?" She asked as she left the room, shutting the door behind her. Her bare feet made very little noise as she walked to the kitchen for a drink. Opting for something non-alcoholic, she grabbed a carton of milk. Hawk leaned on the marble surface of the island. "So? How was it?" He grinned at her.
Meiko chugged her glass of milk and licked her lips. "Nunya." She turned and put the milk back before grabbing a bag of M&M's. Hawk rolled his eyes. "Come on. You get to poke your little nose in my sex life but I can't do the same to you?"
Before Meiko could say anything, Byakuya walked in the room. The woman smiled and winked at him as she walked back to her room, purposefully swaying her hips a little more than usual. She looked back at Byakuya, smirking at him sexily before disappearing into their room. Marcus poured tea into a black and white mug and sat down on the couch.
"Tell me, Byakuya. How was it?" Hawk asked, grinning like a fool. Byakuya willed down the blush that threatened to stain his pale cheeks. "That is for me to know, and you to not know." The noble replied stoically.
Hawk pouted, but let it go. He would find out soon enough.

"Whaaaaat? We have to leave?" Meiko whined. She was having so much fun in America. Byakuya sighed, packing the rest of his and Meiko's clothes in the suitcase. "Meiko, we have to get back to Shutter Box. Remember why we came here. Not to go on vacation, but to retrieve firearms from the American government."
Meiko cocked an eyebrow. "Retrieve? Don't you mean steal?" She smirked at him. Byakuya simply zipped up the bags and took them to the living room. "Aw, come on. You're no fun." She called after him. Meiko grabbed her shoes and hopped down the stairs. Hawk looked over to her and asked, "You ready? Our plane leaves in an hour." Meiko nodded.
"Yep. Let's go." She walked out of the room and down the hall. Byakuya held back a long-suffering sigh. She still hadn't put her shoes on(1).

"Hey Crow, when's the last time you got action?" Dante teased. Meiko rolled her eyes.
"A lot sooner than you, that's for sure." She shot back calmly. Next to her, Byakuya stealthily placed a hand on her thigh. Meiko blushed. The man had been a lot more affectionate toward her since they 'got dirty' last night. 'Maybe he...no. That's not like him.' She pondered. She reached into her bra and pulled out a photo. It was of her, Byakuya, and Ginrei from before Meiko became a member of the Royal Guard. A smile took up her features as she remembered those days. She missed the old Byakuya, before he became Ice Pick. Byakuya squeezed her thigh and kissed her temple, catching we by surprise. He wasn't exactly the PDA kind of guy. "What are you thinking about?" He mumbled in her ear.
Meiko slid the old photo back into her bra. "Nothing. Old times, is all."
Byakuya reached over and grabbed her hand. "That's not nothing." Meiko chuckled under her breath and leaned on his shoulder. "We'll talk more about it when we get back."
*another page break!*
Shutter Box was very different from America.
First of all, Meiko was allowed to walk around barefoot and not get strange looks from everyone. Second of all, privacy wasn't an endangered species. Which meant she could finally have time alone with Byakuya. (And, by 'time alone' she meant 'time to get dirty')
Meiko and Byakuya lay on the latter's futon, curled up and legs entangled. The man was practically insatiable. But...Meiko was up to that challenge. Six weeks had passed since their trip to America. Now, they were ready to go up against Aizen and his army of hollows.
Byakuya stirred in his sleep, pulling Meiko from her thoughts. Then, something jumped in her stomach. She hopped from the bed and dashed to the connected bathroom to empty the contents of her stomach. When her stomach was finally empty, Meiko leaned on the wall behind her. For the past week this was going on.
"Are you alright?"
Meiko turned her head toward her lover. "Do I look alright?" She snapped. Byakuya's eyes widened a tiny bit. "Maybe you should go see Unohana." He suggested calmly.
"I'm fine." She mumbled. Suddenly, a thought came to her. A slightly disturbing thought, at that. 'I can't be...can I?'
She shot up from her place on the floor and pulled on her short kimono. As soon as it was tied shut, the woman dashed out of the room, leaving Byakuya in the room alone. What was going on?
Who can guess what's happening? Cookies and milk to the first person who gets the right answer!
(1) Meiko hates wearing shoes or socks. The reason for this is unknown.
Im sorry my update is so late. I'll try to update again soon! Love you all!
