Chapter 10

Uryu faltered as he started to fall Ichigo who was the closest to him caught him helping the young man into a chair. They all saw Uryu flinch any time Byakuya or Tetsuya even made a move to get closer to him. He looked around at the small group. He took a deep breath. "If it's me he wants I will go" Uryu said before continued he paused for a moment. "He needs me so he won't hurt me at least not right away" the answer to his suggestion came very quickly.

"Absolutly not" Byakuya and Tetsuya said in unison. Both nobles knew this was not going to be easy. Uryu had already made up him mind.

Tetsuya excused himself going into the hall fallowed closly by Renji who wanted to make sure Tetsuya didn't do anything stupid. They left the others to deal with Uryu. "Leave me alone Renji I am going to get my husband back" he said hand on his sword ready to draw it if need be. No one would stop him not even his friends. Tetsuya was not in the habit of attack his friends but if Renji tried to stop him he would use any means nessisary to complete his task. He was not thinking about himself all he thought about was his husband. He had not been able to even look at Uryu due to the guilt he felt now he was worried since the young man clearly blamed himself for Grimmjow being taken.

Renji put a hand on Tetsuya's shoulder "put your faith in the king he will do all he can to get Grimmjow back for you" he started. "Try not to blame the king or Uryu I know it would be easy to do so but just don't it will not help anything" Renji and Tetsuya were out in the gardens by this point since they were walking as they talked.

"I don't blame anyone but Aizen for this. I do not blame my cousin or Uryu if I were a lesser man I would. What would you do if it were Ichigo taken anything you could right so please do not try to stop me" Tetsuya froze when Renji asked about the baby. The red head was right Tetsuya was not worried about his husband suriving he was strong after all. No he was worried about the baby. He had to be calm while the baby was growing inside him especaily at the current stage of development. He was also worried that his cousin would blame himself and that Uryu would refuse to listen to reason.

"In the war room Ukitake was trying to defuseing the situation. "You are right Uryu it is you he wants. He needs you for whatever he is planing which is why he must not get you. We don't know what he plaing having you could be just what he needs to complete something horrible" Ukitake too Uryu's pale hand in his own. "Yes the letter says Aizen wants you in exchange for Grimmjow. But even if we gave him what he wanted there is no garente that he would let you come home. He is an evil man. The king loves you stay here where we can keep you safe" Ukitake knew he was useing Uryu's heart and his guilt aginst him but the advisor was doing what he needed to. He needed to keep the king happy and foucused and if that ment guilting the dark haired young man then he would do just that.

"That is enough" Byakuya said. "Leave us" he said causeing the others to leave the room. "I know that look Uryu I saw it when as a child you told me one day you would make beautiful things for me one day. I saw it again when you agreed to work for me. It is a look or determination and stuborness. I know you do not fully trust me bacause of what you saw just know I would never do anything to hurt you" Byakuya took a deep shaky breath. "That being said I am very sorry. Gaurd" the king waited as one of his lesser gaurds came into the war room. "Lock Ishida in his room no one but me or Sado is allowed in or out. Post gaurds outside the door and window" with that a crushed upset Uryu was taken back to his room to be locked in. Leaving Byakuya to hang his head in utter misery he risked Uryu hating him but he had to keep him safe. "Please forgive me my love" he wispered to the empty room. "You can come back in" he called after a few moments knowing the others were just outside.

"Was that really nessisary" Ichigo asked the king who looked misserable. "You are going to make him hate you" the orange haired man was not trying to make things worse but he knew he was. Ichigo looked at the king who looked tired but as strong as ever. The small group tried to figure out their next move.

Grimmjow had fought being chained to the wall breaking a few jaws along the way. He had finally lost when he felt a blow to the back of his head and everything went black. When he woke he was chained by his wrists to the wall a large chain secured him to the walll arms above his head. He looked around the large cell Aizen had called it the pit and from what he could see it was an acurate description. Suddenly he noticed movment in the shadowed corner of the cell. There was some light from a few small high windows. "Who's there" Grimmjow growled hands flexing as if he had claws. He was not prepared for what came next.

"Hello Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez" Yumi the former king said stepping into one of the small shafts of light. He wore a tattered dirty kimomo like robe that slipped off his even skinnier alabaster skined body. His wrists were bound with large heavy looking shackles his body covered in bruises. There were bags under his eyes from sleep deprivation he shook as he stood there inching towards Grimmjow.

The wild man saw red and wrenched at the chains bolting him to the wall going forward as much as he could go but Yumi was just out of reach since he was only able to get about 2 feet off the wall. He snarled like the beast most claimed him to be straining against the metal that held him.

"You won't get loose this metal is like nothing I have ever seen before. Are the whispers true to you marry that little half breed. I am surprised someone domesticated you" Yumi who was not chained to the wall sat down just outside Grimmjows reach. There was something about the former king that seemed almost sane or at least clearer. "I was a fool to ever trust Aizen. He used me. I was never in control I know that now. I also know I was bat shit crazy . My mind is clearer now but I can still feel my sanity slipping it is a terrifying feeling to lose ones mind." Yumi was not making exscuses he was just stating a fact. "The whispers also say that you are expecting a child that little freak is more talented then I gave him credit for." Yumi had to jump back as the chain gave a little letting Grimmjow a little further off the wall. He laughed "still fiesty don't worry they will beat that out of you" Yumi said a haunted look in his eyes. His arms wrapped around his once flawless beautiful body showing the marks of his beating more.

Grimmjow did not feel sorry for Yumi for a second. "Paybacks a bitch" he growled. Hearing his mate a baby be called freaks pushed him to be even more angry. "You had been hope this chain never breaks if it dose I will kill you with my bare hands" he snarled like the monster he knew he was. He then closed his eyes ignoring the vain little brat he was forced to share a cell with. "Hana" he breathed he would get back to his mate and child no mater what it took.

Uryu pushed against the door to his room it had been a week and he still couldn't beleave Byakuya had locked him in. Chad who was visiting had left going to talk to the king again not that it would do any good. Uryu had to act quickly he carfully slipped to the window of his workshop. He had been right the gaurd was at the bedroom window forgetting this one sence it was covered by a large hydrangea plant. He slipped out of the ungaurded window jumping down into the gardens. He had nothing with him not even his bow the one weapon he could use with any skill. He was rare whle most in the kingdom if they had magic it was chaneled threw a sword. His power was wielded threw his bow so he did not need actual arrows. Still he did not bring it.

He slipped out of the castle grounds running towards the town nearest to the castle he had to find out where Aizen was. Suddenly he skidded to a stop as he passed a building and saw the shadowy figure Aizen often spoke to. Uryus eyes widened "you work for Aizen" he asked seeing the mark of one of Aizen's men a piece of a bone mask on his head. Uryu swallowed as he got a nod he lifted his hands to show he was not armed. The shadowy figure steped towards Uryu snapping thin cuffs around his wrists.

"Take me to him. Take me to Aizen."
