Chapter Twenty-One: Hisana's Confession
At the Kuchiki Estate (Note: Byakuya became the head of the clan in the five year span of not seeing Hisana)
"Where is Kuchiki-taicho?" asked a woman sitting at the dinner table. She sat along with the elders and members of the Kuchiki clan.
"I'm sure he'll be here soon," reassured Mameha. "He's been so worried about his lieutenant."
"He found a lieutenant?" asked an elder.
"You're a little slow on the update," said another man. "It's been over six months."
"What is his name?"
"I believe it is Sayuri," said another elder.
"Sayuri…" Mameha's husband said the name slowly. "I'm afraid I do not recognize that name."
"You wouldn't," Sao Feng spoke up. "I am told that his lieutenant lived in Rukongai before coming to the Seireitei."
Then the door the dining room opened and Kuchiki Byakuya stepped in.
"Ah, your home, Byakuya," said Mameha warmly. He nodded and beckoned a servant over to him.
"Please set the table for one more person," he said.
"Hai, Kuchiki-sama," said the servant.
Behind Kuchiki-taicho was a woman in Shinigami clothes with messy black hair whose head just met Byakuya's chin. They both sat at the table together.
"Aren't you going to tell us who your friend is, Byakuya?" asked Kuchiki Hiroyasu
"Of course, Uncle," said Byakuya. "Everyone, this is my lieutenant, Sayuri Hisana."
The table was silent for a moment until…
"Really, Byakuya, you made a woman your lieutenant?" Hisana brought her head up to see the owner of the voice. A man across the table who looked very similar to Byakuya was smirking.
"Ozai," said Mameha warningly.
"Unohana and Kyōraku-taicho both have women as their 2nd seats," said Hisana.
The man laughed. "That's true, but Unohana-taicho's squad specializes in healing, and everyone knows of Kyōraku-taicho's reputation as a womanizer." Hisana clenched her fists under the table.
"I'm sure my cousin meant that there should be more women within the higher ranks. Isn't that right, Ozai?" Byakuya gave the man a warning glare.
"Of-of course, Byakuya," Ozai reassured.
Dinner was a quiet affair. Hisana ate her food silently as she noticed Sao Feng give her less than friendly looks.
When Byakuya had finished he stood up. "Due to the injuries my lieutenant sustained from a Hollow, she will be staying with us for the next week while she recuperates. I trust you will all make her feel welcome."
Byakuya and Hisana both left the dining room.
"I've a few things to finish at the 6th Division," said Byakuya. "Please try to behave yourself."
"Geez, Taicho, you sound like I'm going to catch the house on fire. Relax!" said Hisana.
"Everything will be fine. You just go do those captain things you do so well."
She took his hands in her and held them to her chest. "But it will be so lonely without you, Kuchiki-taicho," she said with a sexy pout. Byakuya pried his hands away and walked swiftly down the hall.
Hisana let out a sigh of frustration and made her way to Byakuya's room. It looked the same as it did all those years ago, but then again, she wasn't really paying attention to the room at the time. She plopped down on the bed, took a pillow and screamed into it.
"I must say, you mind is quite a complex thing," said Takuaji, materializing at the foot of the bed. Hisana jumped.
"Takuaji! You…look different!" exclaimed Hisana. While Takuaji's eyes remained purple, his hair was now long and red with brown eagle wings.
"Don't change the subject;" said Takuaji, "Not even I saw that bargain you made with Byakuya coming. Why'd you do it?"
Hisana huffed. "I'm tired of only getting less than half of Byakuya. I'm sick of how he has a make-out session with me about once and month and goes back to normal like nothing's happened!"
Hisana punched the pillow. "I'm giving it to Byakuya on a silver platter. I need to know what he really thinks of me."
Takuaji shook his head. "For someone who was able to see past Aizen's charms, you must have gone blind if you cannot see through Byakuya's antics by now." With that, he vanished.
The estate was very boring. Hisana stayed in the safety of Byakuya's room, not really wanting to deal with Sao Feng or his granddaughter. She was relieved to see Byakuya slid the screen door open.
"Good, you're here. I was thinking of lighting the house on fire just so something exciting would happen," said Hisana, who had already changed into the blue nightgown given to her. Byakuya ignored her completely, walking over to the bathroom door and closing it behind him. Hisana narrowed her eyes and climbed into the bed, bringing the covers over her body.
Byakuya returned in nothing but a pair of red baggy pants, leaving his lean but tone chest open to Hisana's eyes. It was also the first time Hisana had seen him without his trademark kenseikan. Still not looking at her, he got into the bed on the opposite side, his back facing toward her and turned out the light.
Hisana's frown deepened. If she expected anything, it certainly wasn't the complete cold shoulder. There was silence for what seemed like an eternity.
"THAT'S IT!" Hisana took her pillow and flung it so it made impact with Byakuya's head. "What's the matter with you? Why aren't you even acknowledging my existence?"
Byakuya didn't move.
"Why is it that each time we have a monthly escapade, you turned around and act aloft like nothing ever happened?"
He didn't move.
"Why are you so bent on hiding your intentions?" Hisana demanded, getting angrier as the seconds flew by.
He spoke, but still didn't move. "You're not exactly one to talk about hiding things, Hisana…"
Hisana's blood went cold. "Aizen…"
"Do not think that I haven't noticed your frequent visits to Rukongai," he continued in his usual serious voice.
Hisana's heart sank, "Even worse…"
"Y-You want to know…" Hisana's voice started to tremble. "Alright, Mr. High and Mighty, I'll tell you! I wasn't always the tough gypsy you met on the bridge that could take care of herself. When I died in the living world I was sent to Inuzuri along with my baby sister."
"Life there was difficult. We were both starving and I was weak. By being a woman, I was ever more prone to thieves and almost got raped a few times. I had reached my wits' end on how to survive. I couldn't even look after myself so…so I abandoned my sister…and ran."
Byakuya shifted his position and was now starring at Hisana. Now Hisana was the one not meeting his eye. She punched the pillow and turned her back on Byakuya.
"So, that's why I go to Rukongai, because I want to find her. There you go, Taicho, wasn't the answer you were expecting, was it?" Tears were now streaming down Hisana's face.
The next thing she knew, two strong arms were wrapped around her and drew her closer to a very warm body. Byakuya rested his head in the crook of her neck.
"Please, forgive me, Hisana," she heard him say. "I did not know…"
"Of course, you didn't," Hisana sniffed. "Only Ukitake-taicho knows and I asked him to keep it a secret. I'm sorry if I fooled you to think that I was someone with a higher morality than the rest of those in Inuzuri…"
Byakuya stopped her apology with his lips. His tongue invaded her mouth and fought for dominance. He turned her around so he was on top. She wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him tightly.
"You…" he bit her neck. "…have more honor and integrity…" he grabbed the sleeves of the nightgown and tugged at it. "…than all the nobles in Soul Society." He attacked her collarbone. Hisana moaned.
It was a good thing that Byakuya's bed was so big because they kept rolling on top of one another, hoping to gain control. During this time she ha lost her nightgown and now was under him, completely naked.
Byakuya kissed her passionately. Hisana clawed at his back, the painful scratches only increasing the overall sense of pleasure. His left hand went downwards to caress her inner thigh.
Hisana stopped kissing him. "Mmmm, don't tease me…"
He nibbled on her lower lip. "Why not; I think some punishment for being so flirtatious is long past due." He slipped a finger into her. Hisana moaned loudly.
"That's it, Hisana. Be vocal. We have a long time ahead of us with nobody to hear you scream." He kissed her again, his tongue mimicking his fingers below. She was tugging at his hair with one hand and running her other hand over his chest. Hisana felt herself clench around him. She knew she would come soon. But before she could, Byakuya removed his hand. Hisana whimpered at the lack of contact.
"Patience, Hisana," said Byakuya smirking, "can't have you come just yet." He nibbled on her ear affectionately.
"Hisana," said Byakuya.
"Hmmm?" she said.
"I love you," he stated. Hisana's eyes went wide. The words she had wanted to hear for so long. She shoved him on his back.
"Took you long enough," she said, "And I guess I love you too."
"You guess?" said Byakuya. Hisana leaned in and kissed him.
"Convince me, Kenseikan Boy," Hisana taunted. He rolled her over so she was under him again.
"Such impertinence," said Byakuya, making quick work of his pants. He threw them onto the floor along with her nightgown. He flipped Hisana onto her stomach. He was surprised to the character of the number six tattooed on her back.
"Kaien thought I should be more daring…" Hisana began.
Byakuya furrowed his brow. "Rule Number 1, Hisana, no mentioning other men while in my bed."
"Jeaslous, are we?" smirked Hisana, but she soon moaned when she felt something long and hard between her legs.
"I'm a very possessive man, Hisana," said Byakuya, sliding his hands up and down Hisana's hourglass form. He leaned closer to her ear. "Tell me you want it, Hisana…"
"I do, I do want it," Hisana moaned.
"And…what exactly do you want?"
"You," she moaned. "…only you."
Byakuya bit on the back of her neck and entered her in one thrust. Hisana bit her lip, but couldn't hold in a quiet moan of pain. Byakuya was leaving open mouthed kisses along her back. He withdrew a little and buried himself in her again. Soon the pain was replaced by sheer pleasure.
"Uhhh, more…Byakuya," Hisana turned
her head to look at him and licked her lips. He bent down to claim them and increased the pace. Hisana's moans were muffled, but nevertheless arousing. Suddenly, he withdrew from her completely, flipped Hisana on her back and entered her again.
"Holy…" Hisana's head was banging back and forth in raw ecstasy. The entire bed was shaking.
"Hisana, look at me," Byakuya ordered. She did, those grey eyes piercing her very soul. Their foreheads pressed together, Byakuya went faster. Hisana was so close. She licked Byakuya's lips. When she felt him rub her nub as her penetrated her, any sense of her being snapped in two.
"BYAKUYA!" Hisana screamed, her body falling on the bed like a rag doll. Byakuya must have followed soon afterward because he then collapsed onto Hisana, breathing heavily.
They stayed like that for a long time. Hisana was stroking Byakuya's hair.
"Once again, you have proven yourself, Kenseikan-taicho," said Hisana, "But next time, I get to be on top."
"Whatever you want," said Byakuya. "I think I like having a dominate woman."
