Chapter 9

Dream come true?

Tamashiro opened his eyes. It was morning and this was the day to see if everything would become true or not. It had been a month since Unohana-Taicho had revealed the truth to Tamashiro about the reasons why he had been put to sleep for the past decades. Byakuya had been worried about him, but Tamashiro had been able to explain it without really giving any information. He did not want to make Byakuya upset. For the past month Byakuya had been behaving normally and Tomoaki had only appeared few times which had been the indication that Byakuya´s dream had not been fulfilled. Tamashiro had spent most of his time to regain his physical strength back and also conversing with his zanpakuto. In any case he needed to have a plan if what ever Byakuya truly hoped would not come true.

Tamashiro had asked from his lover about what the man would dream and hope for and the only reply had been their marriage and the fulfillment of it. It made Tamashiro very agitated. If the marriage between them was the matter that Byakuya had wanted all of this would have been prevented decades before by allowing him to marry Byakuya in the first place. Maybe the Destiny had something in its mind because then Rukia would have never gain Byakuya as her brother and family. And thinking about family and marriage, it seemed that Abarai Renji was going to gain footstep in the Kuchiki Clan as Byakuya had finally allowed his second in command to court his little sister. This of course had made Rukia so happy that she had jumped on her brother's neck and hugged him in front of everyone. Tamashiro laughed silently. Byakuya had been very awkward and did not really know how to hug his sister back, but the man had been very happy for Rukia´s happiness. Abarai had started to work harder without complaining the work load. Rukia must have whipped the man´s head and make sure that Byakuya would have no objections for them courting.

Tamashiro shook his head and smiled. But he needed to this about today. It was very important as it was the long waited wedding day of Byakuya and him. They would say their vows of this life together. Tamashiro hoped that it would end the appearance of Tomoaki.

The Kuchiki and Ishikawa Clans were invited and all who were able to be there had come. Byakuya had made sure that the wedding ceremony and the reception would go on without any disturbances. The Head captain would perform the wedding ceremony and also a representative from both clan´s would give their blessings. There would be a reception afterward and all of the divisions had been making some performances.

Tamashiro was nervous; he fiddled the small gift he would present the morning after. It was a small Sakura tree and on the bark was eight butterflies engraved. Tamashiro hoped that Byakuya would still like his work of art. Making the tree had helped Tamashiro concentrate on the future. He sighed and finally rose from the bed. He washed himself with the help of his servant who was beaming with happiness that his master finally was happy. Kero brought him a platter full of food for breakfast and after eating a small portion of the breakfast he finally changed to his ropes. His wedding outfit was made out of dark blue silk that was decorated both markings from his own and Byakuya´s clan. His hair was combed and it was partly pulled up to be decorated with eight silver butterflies. Later the day Byakuya would present him the small kenseikan.

Tamashiro sighed and stepped out from his room. The ceremony was about to start. He was showed to the garden and one of his older brothers stepped next to him to congratulate. Tamashiro was next approached by his father who only nodded. However Tamashiro could see unshed tiers of happiness on the old man´s face. His family was happy that he was finally able to enjoy life again. Tamashiro embraced his family and stepped towards the altar. On the end of it there stood Soutaicho, representatives from both Clans and Byakuya who was ready to kneel next to the altar. Tamashiro walked next to Byakuya and the ceremony was ready to begin.

The speech and blessing from the clans did not last long and the couples were able to make their vows to each other. Byakuya smiled and took a hold on Tamashiro's hands while pledging himself.

"I have been waiting for this moment for so long and now it is here. My feelings for you have been burning so strong for decades and when you finally woke from your dream I knew that my dreams would finally become true. I, Kuchiki Byakuya, swear on this and the next life that I will love you and honor you in sickness and in health for all eternity." While saying this the raven looked directly at the other man and slightly smiled.

"I have been truly blessed for you have waited for me, in my dreams you have loved me as much as I love you. Today my dreams are coming to life. I, Ishikawa Tamashiro, swear on this and the next life that I will love you in sickness and in health for all eternity." Tamashiro replied his vows to Byakuya. The blond smiled, but there was a slight weight of anticipation on his heart.

They smiled and kissed to seal their vows. Clapping and occasional hoorays were heard and soon it was time for the celebration and dancing. Everyone was behaving and even Kenpachi kept his mouth shut.

After few hours of celebrating Byakuya took a hold on Tamashiro's hand and led him inside the mansion and to a bedroom that was from this day on officially theirs. No one was wondering where they disappeared in the middle of the festivities and none of the quests were expecting them to stay to celebrate long. This moment was for them only.

The bedroom was illuminated only with few lanterns. There was a small table that had few beverages on them and a large futon had been placed in the middle of the room. It was rather obvious what the night would bring. They sat down in front of the low table and they poured sake on the cups. With silence and inner pledges they drank the alcohol. Byakuya smiled. When they laid their cups on the table Byakuya produced a small package under the table and gave it to Tamashiro. The blond man knew what would be inside it. He had seen the small box on the Kuchiki healer's possession. He knew that it would be him that they expected to take them. Ever since the day they had been engaged he knew that it would be him to be responsible for producing an heir for the clan leader. These medicines would make it possible. What he had not expected was that he would need to take them immediately on their wedding night. But if this was what the counsel wanted them to try then he was willing to do it. Anything for Byakuya. There would be several herbs and a small pill to be consumed. He took them and swallowed then with water. They tasted bad, but somehow he had been used to taking different medicines so it did not matter.

Byakuya smiled sweetly to him and mouthed a silent thank you. Now it would be up to them if the medicine was put in to use. With or without those herbs existing they would be consummating their union that night.

Tamashiro realized that he was now more than nervous. He was inexperienced where Byakuya had been married once before. He had never been intimate with anyone unless you counted the few and brief moments of kissing and touching with Byakuya. He knew what was expected of him, but now he realized that he was blushing like a virgin in front of his husband. Well, he was really. Byakuya was watching his expressions with curiosity while now sitting on a large futon that was made for them. Byakuya lifted his hand and beckoned Tamashiro to move.

"Come to me Tamashiro."

The blond man only nodded and kneeled in front of Byakuya. He did not dare to touch, he was no longer sure that he should do. Byakuya only smiled and laid his hand on top of Tamashiro hair. He removed the clips and kenseikan and soon he removed the same item from his own hair and laid them on a box where they belonged. He took a portion of those long lavender blond strands on Tamashiro hair and pulled his spouse for a kiss. Tamashiro noted that Byakuya was breathing a bit faster.

"I have been waiting for this moment so long. I cannot recall a night of not dreaming about you and for this moment to finally lay like this close to each other without rules or limitations. Even those times when you slept and I held you thru the night I dreamt of you waking up and making love with me. You have been my most precious dream the moment I saw you. I love you so very much Tama."

Tamashiro only could nod. He swallowed and tentatively kissed Byakuya. Soon Byakuya responded, changing the shy kiss to a passionate onslaught on tongues. Byakuya's hands disappeared inside Tamashiro's clothing pulling the man under him on the futon.

"I am to make love to you Tama, I want you to know and feel how much I love you."

Byakuya removed Tamashiro's clothing piece by piece while kissing every part of skin that was revealed. Tamashiro could do nothing but enjoy the new sensations Byakuya caused in him. He noticed new places on his skin that caused him shivers. Byakuya touched, kissed and licked every part of his reveled skin and the pleasure was something Tamashiro had never felt before. He enjoyed every caress and kiss, but it was making his also impatient. He wanted to make Byakuya feel the same and he tried to copy the movements, but Byakuya only stopped him and told him to only lay there and let him do the pleasuring this time. Soon both of them were naked and panting in passion. Tamashiro wanted to feel Byakuya inside him and moment later as if reading his lover´s mind the raven head prepared his lover for the intrusion. Byakuya tried to ease himself inside Tamashiro with less pain that was possible and he could see the slight discomfort on his lovers face. Gently and slowly he rocked his hips trying to find the spot that would make it all go away. Soon the soft gasp made Byakuya smile and he began to rock his hips in with precise punctuation. Tamashiro´s world was seeing stars and soon both of them were moaning in great passion while releasing their essence. Byakuya rolled next to his spouse and they tried to regain their breathing. They gently kissed again and soon they both fell asleep while holding each other.

Few hours later Tamashiro woke up for a feeling of being cold and alone. Byakuya was no longer in the bed and Tamashiro rose himself. He noticed the sliding doors to the private garden ajar and he guessed that Byakuya had decided to take a walk. He clad himself and stepped outside to the warm summer night to find his missing spouse.

Byakuya was sitting in front of a small pond and was watching to the sky. He was smiling to himself and Tamashiro decided to sit next to him. He took Byakuya´s hand on his own and kissed him gently. Byakuya kissed back, but suddenly bit the man's lips drawing blood. Tamashiro tried to remove his hold but failed. The grip Byakuya had taken on him was strong and it was moving Tamashiro's head back to be able to kiss again. This time the kiss was strong and less gentle. When Byakuya finally stopped Tamashiro was able to see the man's eyes. They were dark and dangerous. It made Tamashiro's skin crawl.

"I did not go anywhere. Unfortunately Byakuya had you first, but it does not mean I won't be taking you next."

Tamashiro only sat quietly. He wanted to scream and cry. Marrying him was not Byakuya's dream and desire after all. It had been something different.

Tomoaki smiled and claimed Tamashiro's lips again. He craved the tall man like breathing air. It boiled his blood that his controlling persona had been able to claim the man first but he was not going to lose the game. Tomoaki wanted nothing more than to surpass Byakuya on this body's mind. He wanted this man in his arms so badly for himself that he had fought so hard to remain in existence. It had been true that Byakuya's greatest dream had been to marry this man, but Tomoaki resting inside Byakuya had been silently whispering to the raven head new dreams so he could stay. And what a dream had he created to the stoic man's heart. It was something that could definitely happen especially after Tamashiro had consumed the herbs, but before that offspring would come to the world he would have time to win. So now with a new and desperate dream of a family inside the clan head he could stay and continue his love with Tamashiro. Tomoaki was sure that with time he would gain the dominating existence inside the body of Kuchiki Byakuya, he really wanted to completely remove the other persona and become the master. The raven head smiled and continued his assault on the blond.

Tamashiro involuntarily moaned. The hands and the body caressing him was Byakuya's but the man and mind was not. It made Tamashiro shiver in both disgust and pleasure. The memories of heated moment's only hours before flooded back into his mind and he felt his body respond to the images. He felt like he was cheating on his lover, yet he was not as this man was Byakuya. He could not fight for the intruding hands as to an outsider it looked like the head of the Kuchiki had taken a wicked mind and deciding to ravish his spouse in their garden. No one would come for his help. Tamashiro knew that it would look odd to everyone if he fought Byakuya on their wedding night. He could do nothing, but to accept the cold caresses and lips on his own. He wanted to cry.

Tomoaki decided to be kind and surprisingly gently claimed the man beneath him. He wanted to make sure that there was an imprint of their union inside Tamashiro and that the man would remember him in the morning. With strong thrusts he claimed Tamashiro over and over again and climaxed inside while making sure that the blond would also find his peak. It would only make sure that the man would be as responsive as he was now the next time.

He laid the tall man back to the grass and kissed his tiers away. He smiled again and stood up. He would have to stay close as he did not really want Byakuya to see this. He looked at Tamashiro who laid there breathing hard and partly crying. Tomoaki sat next to the blond who chose to cover himself. The look on the man's face was shameful and it made Tomoaki chuckle a bit.

"There is no point for you to be ashamed, my love. As much as Byakuya loves you as much do I. It will depend on him and you how long these matters stay like this. And if I can win this, the dream inside Byakuya will be ours and we all can live happily together. Do you not want to live happily, my love?"

Tamashiro looked at the man and swallowed. He could try to stay and find the new dream or he could finish this once and for all, but that would mean he had to break Byakuya's heart and it was a thing he dreaded to do. He would do it only if necessary.
