CHAPTER 11
Momo was annoyed. The image in front of her was far from what she ever expected in her wildest dreams. It started like this:
She got the notice that Rukia had returned to Soul Society with a badly injured Renji. Apparently, the hollows put up an ambush and Renji suffered the worst of it. She knew that Ichigo went with them, because she was the one who helped Rukia to convince Nanao to forge the letter. Where was he? Moreover, what could have happened with Shirou-chan? She didn't see him when Renji was admitted on the Medical Division.
Finally, after Renji was left under the care of the Fourth Squad's hands she could talk to Rukia. The short-haired shinigami explained to her that she couldn't help Renji because she was trapped in a kitsune spell. Renji was attacked by the ex-shinigami, Aizen, who apparently was the original owner of the white and orange nekobito. Everything was a mess, and Rukia was annoyed.
"If he'd explain a little more of what happened," she said and pointed to a very cute nekobito. "Maybe we could understand what is really going on."
Momo blinked. This cute white cat...
"Shirou-chan?" she said to the nekobito and the kid blushed, annoyed by the nickname and her surprised face "You recovered your human form?"
"Yes..." the kid replied uncomfortably.
"Yay," Momo grinned, she was going to jump over him and hug him so hard! He was so beautiful like this... if the other one hadn't stepped in the way.
Another demi-human stopped her before she could even touch Toushirou. It appeared behind the white cat and it looked like him, but his ears and tail were different, and had a mocking grin that unnerved her.
"Who are you?" she asked, annoyed.
The fox ignored her and hugged Toushirou in a very possessive way. THAT was the weirdest thing she had ever seen.
"Gin! Let go! What are you doing?" said Toushirou, unable to stop a blush.
"Gin?"
"This is the fox that lived in the shrine," explained Rukia.
Toushirou finally got free of the kitsune's grasp. "Yes, and he's also a pervert!"
Momo glared at the fox.
"You! Let go of Shirou-chan!" yelled Momo, now angry.
"Fat chance, don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong" snapped the fox, barely opening his eyes but the red shine made Momo freeze. "This cat entered my territory and until he pays me for the trouble he caused, is mine."
"I'm not yours!" shouted Toushirou, raising the cold energy around him. "Who said anything about me paying you anything, and like that?!"
"Quiet all of you!" yelled a nurse "This is a place where sick people recover! Go outside to discuss!"
The group was kicked out of the room and crossed paths with Byakuya and Uryu. Rukia hoped to see her brother later, but the moment of doom came early.

Grimmjow finally got away from Yachiru. He never had to deal with children's "love", so the hyperactive shinigami was something new and extremely annoying to him.
He walked through the halls until he smelled something familiar. Toushirou's essence and it wasn't far.
He saw the black ears and the tail first and recognized the nekobito. Next to him was a tall shinigami with a very uptight look. Toushirou was with two short-haired girls and another with the hair tied up and a silver fox. He licked his lips; this was going to be fun.
"You! Black cat!"
Uryu turned around and flinched. What was he doing here?
"You must be happy, your enemy is gone," said Grimmjow, getting closer.
"Who are you and what are talking about?" asked Byakuya, with his usual cold tone.
"Byakuya-sama..."
"Grimmjow?" said Toushirou. Could this situation get any stranger?
"Oh, so he only took Ichigo in the end?" was all Grimmjow gave "And you must be the fox Aizen talked so much about." he looked at the fox a moment before returning his attention to Uryu "So, black cat, happy now?"
"Answer me" said Byakuya with a frozen shine in his eyes "What are you talking about?"
Even Grimmjow couldn't keep his self-confidence under that tone.
"This black cat was the one who told me about the mission and where it was. I only gave the info to Aizen."
"What?" asked Toushirou.
Byakuya grabbed Grimmjow by the collar "If you appreciate your life, explain yourself."
"As I said, he told me everything," said Grimmjow, holding Byakuya's look "Because he didn't wanted the orange cat near his beloved master."
Byakuya let go of Grimmjow and turned to Uryu. The black cat cast his eyes down along with his ears and his tail waved side to side with anxiety.
"Uryu-kun..." Rukia started to say "Is that true?"
"Uryu" said Byakuya "Look at me"
Uryu didn't comply.
"It's an order."
Uryu flinched under the authoritarian tone of his master's voice and hesitantly lifted his face. His master's cold eyes pierced him.
"Is that the truth?"
"Yes... Byakuya-sama..."
There was a long silence. The group stayed still, admiring the scene. The black cat, deeply in love with his icy master. The master, surprised by the treason.
"Why?"
"Because I love you, master."
Master. A term that Uryu never used, and it sounded so heavy.
"And I didn't want that cat to get near you... To take you away from me... I didn't want him to be hurt... Only away..."
Uryu was crying. He closed his eyes when he saw the hand of his master rise. The tears flowed from his eyes while he waited.
A pair of arms circled around him and brought him close to a warm chest.
Byakuya said nothing. He only hugged him, like when he was a small boy, when he was so scared and alone. He only wanted to be keep what he had.
Amazed by this scene, nobody noticed Gin snatching Toushirou away.
*****
"Let go already!"
Gin stopped on a rooftop and finally released his load. The white nekobito wasn't happy. He turned to look at the silver fox, his ears back and the tail rose. It was something more comical than scary.
"Now why did you take me away?"
"I supposed that was an intimate moment?" said Gin, suddenly the mocking absent on his behavior. Surprised, Toushirou found himself speechless and his anger faded. Maybe this fox wasn't so bad…
His tail waved absently side to side.
"And so I can get to know you better!" said Gin, grabbing Toushirou's tail. The cat flinched and felt an electric shock run through his back. In his cat form, it never felt like that!
"Let go...," he whispered. Gin moved his face closer.
"Why? You like it."
Gin hand didn't let go of the tail, and his other hand caressed his back. Toushirou's hands went to Gin's chest.
"I said..."
He was almost breathless.
"What, Shirou-chan?"
Gin's tongue was on his chin moving to his cheek, and tasting him, wet and shameless. Even with the embarrassment painted of red on his face, Toushirou remembered how nice it felt to be touched like that, how nice it was to be desired like that.
"Shirou-chan..."
Aizen voice purred on his ears. "Tell me what you want... My cute chibi..."
"Let go!" screamed the cat, pushing Gin away and freezing everything around him. "You... Pervert pedophile!"
"If you are a child, why did you let me touch you in the first place?" asked Gin "At least I don't pretend to be something I'm not. You like to act and be treated like a child, even when you are nothing like that and also say that you are not a kid."
Toushirou didn't answer. The cold crystals shined around him and under the sun. Even when everything was frozen around him, he felt his body burn.
"And by the way, you reacted to my charm back there, I'm sure you're not indifferent to me."
He was right. Since the first time he saw the silver fox under the moon, shinning beautifully, he was amazed by him. He desired him, not like a child wanting a adult's attention. Like a man desiring another man. His now grown body was uncontrollable, screaming at him for touching the other, to kiss him, to posses and let to be possessed. Like when the fox licked his arm and erased the marks made by Aizen.
Those feelings scared him. It made him remember repeatedly what he lived through under Aizen's hands. It made him remember that. Even when he wanted to recover from his childhood, it was long gone. He wasn't a child anymore, even though his body looked like one.
Not to mention, this damn fox was so alluring… he could have given in from the beginning.
"So Toushirou," finally said the fox, crouching in front of him "what are you going to decide?"
Toushirou looked at the fox. The red eyes were fixed on his. When he was about to say something, everything started to tremble.
"What's that? A tremor?"
"No," said Gin, moving his ears and closing again his eyes "It's a portal forced opened."
All the Soul Society trembled and the ground screamed. All the shinigamis got outside, surprised or scared.
"So, he's finally going to try to reach it."
*****
At LAST! I could finish this chapter, even when is so short, it took me a lot to write it down. I have the end of this story almost done, so don't worry about me letting this down. The thing was, many changes happened in my life in this last two weeks: I changed of job, my old pals made me a goodbye party and now, when I reach my home, get a bath, eat and when I want to write something I'm so tired that I almost fall asleep over the keyboard, 'cos I got up very early on the morning. But I don't complain 'cos is better than the one I had, now I'm at an office and I'm sit almost all day (in the other I was 4 hours stand up and got to endure many stuff), I have a pc and a nice environment (not that I didn't have that in the other, I left many good friends there and I really miss them), so I must say I'm ok.
BTW, I found a very sweet doujin at Aarinfanatasy . com called "THE LIFE OF LOVERS", about inuRenji and nekoIchigo. For what I could understand (it's in japanese), Rukia purchesa a cat for her and a dog for Byakuya and they give the names. Al the story is about how this two fights until they accept that they like each other. Very sweet! You can see the cover and some inner pages on the gallery I have on my profile!
