Chapter 9- Violence and Bubbles

Warnings-none really maybe slight violence

Dark eyes watched him carefully, waiting for an answer. Kisuke felt his breathing become more difficult, he couldn't answer. Dismay presenting itself unwelcome and choking him as he lowered his head, his eyes closing as he tried to block out the world for the few seconds he could. "Well, do you have an answer?" the shield broken as the blonde glanced up at the sickening smirk before him, his words suddenly unraveling as anger took fear's place.

"Shut up..." His glare fixed upon the brunette causing the victorious grin to fade "Do you seriously think that I would answer that question?" His eyes darkening further with each said word, the looming presence of intimidation flowed within the harsh bite of his voice.
"By that response I'll just have to assume you won't give in willingly." Sosuke's eyes narrowed flickering with a hint of anger, annoyance at the sudden arrogance of the blonde, his smile fading further to his displeasure as he let slip a noise embodying his dissatisfaction. "I wish you wouldn't have chosen to be so difficult."

Aizen threw the blonde to the ground, a sinister smile travelling across his face as he watched the victim of the sudden violence writhe in pain "I could have been nicer..." He said uncaringly as he kicked Kisuke in the side "It could have been easier for both of us..." He thrashed the blonde again, lifting up the pale tear streaked face before his own "You may have forgotten but I still need to punish you for your little escape attempt. I was going to overlook that...but now the situation has changed. You've only made this harder on yourself."

Kisuke's body throbbed with pain and anxiety from the beating, he retaliated, unleashing a kick to fight back. His leg caught before he was thrown across the floor, his head connecting with a wall. He winced as he grasped his head in pain, glancing up to meet his attacker once more. The brunette loomed over him, he braced for another attack, his body tensing again in anticipation. Instead he was pulled to his feet, his legs weak as he struggled to stay upright.

"Consider that part of your punishment for disobeying me earlier." He watched the blonde trembling as he wrapped his arms around him, negated thoughts and unspoken apologies emerged steeped in regret, screaming within his mind "I don't want to have to use violence again, do you understand?" Sosuke held the blonde in an embrace as he waited for an answer. Kisuke decided it was best to agree with no violence, his body reminding him of the sudden torment he had just endured. "Yeah, I understand, I could do without all this pain." He pulled a weak smile, his expression belying his true emotions that were agonizingly tearing him apart, he forced himself to suffer in silence as he grasped his arm in pain while maintaining the false face.

"Good." Sosuke replied in a lighter tone as his grin re-appeared "I would hate to "break" you before I even get started." his voice seductive and alluring as he walked towards the door "I trust you will wait here this time." he said before leaving the blonde in the vast emptiness of the room. Kisuke ran his hands through his hair as he sat on the edge of the bed "How do I get myself into things like this?" The empty words spoken to himself as he glanced out the window. The door clicked open again minutes later as Aizen renewed his presence once more.

"I take it you would want some time to clean yourself up." Sosuke went to hand the blonde a dark crimson towel receiving a puzzled expression in return.
"...and here I was thinking you were going to abuse and violate me some more. How do I know you're not going to "force" me to?" Kisuke smirked as he teased the brunette, trying to lighten the mood and hopefully postpone whatever that man had planned. Sosuke paused, pulling the towel away as he grinned "Well I could join you if you wish." his words making Kisuke freeze, regret grasping him tightly.
"No, no that's ok." he replied with a nervous smile as he shakily stood up.

"Then shall I show you where the bathroom is?" Sosuke said while gesturing towards the door waiting for Kisuke to move. He silently walked towards the brunette before following him out. Once again he was travelling through the vast white halls, he remembered how it was mere luck during his escape that led him the right way. Though with a guide it was far easier, less ways to get lost this way. After a few turns they arrived at the bathroom,he sighed a little as Aizen turned the handle, he half expected it to be plain white like the rest of the mundane building, he felt it would drive anyone insane if they stayed long enough. The door slid open revealing a black bathroom, the glint of the white lighting reflecting off the dark polished tiles. The room actually felt welcoming, a brief pause from the bleak surroundings even if it was only black, the shower was lined with lightly frosted glass and silver railings with another red towel draped over the door while beside it lied a perfectly white bath already filled with a pleasant scent emanating from the heated water, some kind of a mix of jasmine and green tea, the steam clouding over the nearby mirror.

"I will be back..." he said before walking out of the room and closing the door. Kisuke stood there unmoving, hesitant for a while he was a little paranoid about undressing. He knew exactly what that meant. Thoughts plaguing his mind he fought them off, clearing his head as he started removing his torn shirt, revealing the bandages he no longer needed. The door silently opened as he instinctively turned to face the direction of the chilling presence. Aizen stepped into the room before closing the door effortlessly, slowly traveling his eyes over the half-naked blonde. He moved closer and ran his hand over the part bare chest barely obstructed by bandages. He paused, a deep chuckle presenting itself as a sign of his amusement at the display before him "I like this look on you, Kisuke."

He playfully tugged at the bandages before slipping them off "I hope you don't mind, of course I intended to join you." His voice emanating from behind the blonde as his heated breath washed over pale skin. "You never said I'd be alone, did you?" Kisuke said in an almost defeated tone as he realized. The blonde swore he could almost hear the grin as it was lightly pressed to his neck "I thought you wouldn't realize." Aizen replied as he released his hold before slowly taking off his haori, later following with his kimono leaving him partially bare as he began leisurely removing his hakama. Kisuke turned away shielding his eyes "I didn't ask for a strip show." he mumbled from the parted gaps between his fingers, he was more than happy to be blinded by his palms and facing a blank wall considering the latter.

He was slightly curious at the lack of response as he was tempted to turn, his mind warning him to be cautious, seeing Aizen naked was not on his "to do" list. He warily turned around until he was facing the bath. Slowly parting his fingers he noticed Aizen was already in the bath, the bubbles creeping across his chest and blocking view of his...body. "Well aren't you going to join me?" He asked casually while smiling, watching Kisuke intently. "Uh, no thanks." His reply shaky as he backed away searching for the ruins of his kimono. The brunette sighed as he ran his finger in a circular motion through the bubbles "Do you really want to test my patience?" his gaze changing to an intimidating glare sent in the blonde's direction.

"I don't think that really matters now..." the reply sombre as his hand began desperately searching for the door handle behind his back, aware not to break the eye contact between them. His fingers brushed over cold metal, he was certain that was it and curled them slowly around, carefully turning the handle. "Do you really think that running is a wise idea? Where are you going to go if you do?" Sosuke inquired in a slightly annoyed tone as he watched the other man turning the handle further "It doesn't seem like a rational choice."

Kisuke released the handle. As much as he hated to admit it Aizen was right, running was a stupid idea. He felt compelled deep within to run, to at least try to escape again, his thoughts turning to the moments of his escape how free he'd felt only to end up back where he started. He desperately wanted to leave but the cold reality hit him again crushing his resolve further. He sunk down the wall slipping to the ground in defeat, he wanted to scream out all of his frustrations to just wake up from this nightmare. If only it were just another nightmare...
