To make up for the weeks of not giving any chapters due to not having enough time in the day to write. I was able to fit some writing in, like I said this chapter was written first but decided to submit the previous chapter first. You will understand why I chose to do that once you have read the chapter. I want to warn you that this chapter will be violent. I mentioned that there was a calm before the storm, well this is the hard winds and rain before the hurricane makes landfall. But there also will be fluff and smut. Enjoy!

Chapter 21: Pleasure before Pain
Kazui walked through his inner world staring up at the giant stars its brilliance was slowly being consumed by darkness. A darkness that felt familiar yet strange, it was difficult for him to explain this feeling he felt within himself. Inspecting the light closer, he couldn't define that it was being consumed more like merging with the giant suns. He walked towards the small temple in the middle of his world. His hollow stood waiting for him but his focus remained upward.
"Are you doing this?" Kazui asked his hollow. He smirked then focused his attention on him.
"He's doing it," his hollow claimed, flicking his head in the direction beyond the temple. Kazui focused his eyes on where his hollow wanted him to notice, but he couldn't see anything. As he stepped closer, dragging his feet along the liquid walkway, he began to perceive images, no, events playing out. Events that he had never seen before.
Images of Mitsuhide's grin, then a searing pain in his abdomen.
Another with Koemi in deathly pale features and blood surrounding her.
Kazui could feel his anger rising, causing the darkness to swiftly merge with the suns.
That's when he saw it.
A black silhouette standing there with a swarm of eyes that surrounded its form. Its multitude of optics looking around then abruptly focusing on him.
"What is it?" Kazui curiously asked his hollow.
"It? He's always been here."
Kazui looked at his hollow in shock, trying to understand what he meant.
"You haven't been able to focus on him, because you've lived somewhat of a peaceful life so he's stayed dormant, but now your emotions are escalating. Control them."
"I've always been able to control my emotions."
"Except your anger. There's nothing wrong with anger, it's the mindless rage you have to be wary of."
Kazui started to feel pain in his head and images of swords clashing and screaming, his knees gave out.
"I... I don't understand these images. My mind feels like it's on fire," Kazui hollered grasping onto his head.
His hollow bent beside him and spoke to him calmly, "You're trying to fight something that has seeped into you. You're afraid because this is something new, your father had already warned you about me so you were able to form a bond. Let this new power flow through you, but don't let it consume you. Control it!"
Kazui nodded and did just that, closing his eyes and exhaling. The pain slowly dissolved away and the darkness finally merged with the sun above him, causing them to brighten and implode within themselves. Forming new stars the colour of light blue, he could see more galaxies since several massive suns no longer blocked his view.
"Kazui Kurosaki," he heard a deep baritone voice call him. He looked up to find the eyes and black silhouette gone, but a figure of a dark-haired man dressed in white. Eyes black and piercing, looking at him with a stoic expression.
.
..
...
Kazui awoke from his inner world in a cold sweat, he glanced around finding himself alone. He tried to focus on what the dream was about, but it was slowly fleeting from his mind. He looked beside him to find Koemi had already started her morning with her side of the makeshift bed fixed. The weeks they spent together, they slowly moved closer with their beds. There were days when they would just cuddle and days when their hands and mouths would explore and stimulate each other. Yesterday, was one of those days and Kazui couldn't help but feel a hot blush creep into his cheeks just thinking about it. He didn't want to blame their steamy nights on General Zyden but he was one of the factors. His anger would rise and he would feel that the only way to fan out the flames was his need to have Koemi.
Zyden seemed like a pest, he would leave back to Forden Leis and return days later. Using excuse after excuse to Koemi, irritating Kazui further. Having Koemi all to himself during the nights they were alone or even mornings, had him smiling from ear to ear.
He confessed to her one night that he felt like he was using her, to quell his feelings of lust and anger. She responded by telling him that she didn't feel that way. It didn't help she enjoyed touching him as much as he did her. Publically Koemi was a picture of innocence but lately, he must have opened something in her, because from prying eyes she would playfully touch which lead to more sexually gratifying releases.
He stepped out of the tent they both shared to find the village busier than usual. It was then he remembered and now felt even more guilt for sleeping in. Oversleeping was something his father or his sister did, not him. The children were putting on a small play for the village occupants, to alleviate the tension of the upcoming battle. It was Elder Kalise that expressed the idea with the children who relayed it to the Princess. Zyden explained his dislike of the idea, and Koemi expressed to the General that he could leave if he disliked such useless nonsense as he put it.
Kazui made his way to Koemi, who was sewing last-minute adjustments to some of the girl's dresses.
"Sorry I'm late," he expressed to her as she turned to smile.
"I already told you've done more than enough, Kazui. It was why I left you sleeping. You looked so adorable, I didn't have the heart to wake you."
He blushed when he heard some of the older children giggling at the word 'adorable' and some girls blushing at his presence.
"Well, I want to help anything I can do?"
Koemi shook her head and smiled, "Ask Nestra if he needs help with the stage."
Kazui quickly kissed her cheek and headed for the lumbering man, who constructed anything the village needed. He was huge but a quiet and sweet man, reminding him of Chad. The large man specified to Kazui that he didn't need much, since it was almost done, but showed him last-minute areas that needed hammering.
When he was done helping Nestra, he looked around to find anyone in need of help. He helped Egno, construct more wooden swords for props in the play, then helped some of the cooks with the baking of bread. The atmosphere around didn't feel like people ready for an upcoming battle, more like a delightful celebration. It felt like one of those festivals he would go to annually with his family. He didn't even have the chance with being busy to see Koemi again, he knew she was pretty occupied with helping the children herself. He followed her spiritual energy to find her speaking with Vathyst, whispering something that caused her the young girl to blush. It seemed the governess of Valina came to give her some form of gifted apparel.
"There is the handsome man," Vathyst announced, spotting him as he came closer. The woman dressed in precious stones leaned to him to give him a light kiss and a seductive smile. "I'm so happy that you are here to provide such help to my princess," she divulged, hugging the blushing younger girl at her side.
"I love helping," he confessed, giving a bright smile as the older woman smirked.
"I'm sure you do," she giggled, having some inside joke he wasn't aware of, before he could ask, she interrupted. "Koemi why don't you go change while I speak to Kazui."
Koemi nodded, grasping what she had in her hand to head towards her tent.
"I come bearing gifts from Lothren. My soldiers have already gifted your students.. apologies, The Princess' Vanguard with armour," she fondly expressed with an endearing smile. "But I came to personally give Koemi a sentimental gift and you, your very own armour."
She handed him a dark silver wristband, he looked a bit confused as she placed the accessory around his other wrist. He watched as she pressed the inner part of the band, and felt himself being encased by metal. "Now you are starting to look more and more like a Shun Nyan, with armour and a bracelet of companionship," she lifted his other wrist to show the intricate silver bracelet. She smiled seeing the red tone on his cheeks from embarrassment.
Vathyst did a circular motion beside herself, there was a brief light and Kazui could see a reflection of himself in the circular area she created. It was an impressive dark silver armour. What caught his eye was the familiar turquoise six-pointed flowers that were displayed in the front of his chest. He noticed that the other soldiers had the symbol of the flower etched to the side of their arm, including General Zyden.
"Why is the Symbol of Fae differently located on mines than the other soldiers?" he questioned, feeling the craftmanship of the flower design, remembering his mother's warm shield with a smile.
"You're the son of the missing princess, your royalty, shouldn't it have been obvious. Those that serve under the royal family receive the honour of baring it on their arm."
"I already stated that I haven't proved myself yet. I don't feel right wearing something of that significance."
"Then should I tell Lothren that you are unhappy with the armour?"
"No," Kazui rushed to voice, receiving a teasing smile from the woman.
"Do not worry, my dear handsome one. There is more than just proving yourself in a battle that makes you a prince. Fuminori spoke of stories of his time with Prince Sora. No one could doubt his strength in battle, but it was Sora's kind heart that caused the people to love and accept him. You know I heard the Tree Sprite folk are very fond of you when you visited them a few days ago at Fadala. I heard you were as loud as a child, swinging from their vines."
Kazui blushed from embarrassment as she continued, "They were captivated by your sincerity. You have to understand most of Shun Nya has lost faith in the Royal Fae, it brings them great hope to see that someone descended from royalty is kind and on their side."
Kazui nodded and respected the older woman's insight. "Then I will wear it proudly and try not to disappoint."
Vathyst patted his cheek, "I was a little disappointed that you visited Fadala and not come to visit Valina."
She pouted causing the younger man in front of her to give a guilt-ridden expression, sputtering to give a valid explanation with nothing coming out. She couldn't help but laugh at his sorrowful expression, almost guilty for causing the glum face.
"Aww Kazui, I'm not that upset. You making my princess happy, more than made up for it." She kissed his forehead and patted his cheek again.
Vathyst noticed Kazui's focus wasn't on her anymore but something or someone behind her. She turned to find a beautiful form, in a light pink thigh-length dress.
The dress she had gifted looked stunning on Koemi. It first belonged to her dear friend, Koemi's mother. When Adaline married Fuminori, she wore the dress, it being floor-length back then. A few adjustments, she made it perfect for her daughter. She added more precious stones in the areas that had the floral pattern on the side of her tiny waist as the dress billowed out. The sleeves hung low to the sides of her shoulders and showed a hint of cleavage.
"Beautiful, positively beautiful. Now let us see the armour," Vathyst encouraged when she noticed Koemi's attention was on the boy behind her. The princess hadn't noticed Vathyst talking to her when her attention was fixed on the handsome man.
"Koemi, I know he is handsome, but let us see you donned in your armour," she giggled when she found Koemi reddening as she pressed the ivory armband.
The armour covered her breast and stomach, small portions of the armour covered like a skirt, still showing off the dress that was encased beneath. Her armoured boots reached to her knees, slightly showing a little skin as her pink skirt covered the rest. The armour's sheen an ivory white with turquoise six petal flowers displayed at the front of her chest. The arm guards reached to her elbows as a small portion of metal wrapped around her neck connecting to the chest plate.
Kazui couldn't place a word to describe her, she was beautiful but with her dress and armour, she was more majestic. She had received her armour from Lothren weeks ago, but she promised she wouldn't wear it until he received his along with the children. He could see her expression was somewhat embarrassed.
"What is it, Koemi, do you not like it?" Vathyst questioned, noticing the girl's expression too.
"Lothren ignored me. I specifically stated my armour was supposed to be no different from everyone else." She sighed after explaining, glancing at the royal symbol place in front for all to see. She glanced in his direction, noticing that it matched his as well.
"Now, Now, we all chose Fuminori as King of us mortals, when the Royal Fae left us to fend for our own. He is King which makes you by right our princess. When the time comes and we are liberated from the Royal Faes after this war, you will one day be our Queen. We all have faith that you will lead us, no one doubts that. The only one who doubts it is you."
Koemi felt Vathyst flick her forehead with her finger, the girl holding her head in pain.
"Ouch, Vathyst, no need to be so harsh. I know of my responsibility, but I also don't ever want it to be misconstrued that I am above anyone else."
Vathyst nodded and hugged the girl, the girl was so humble. "Understood, my princess. Now I plan to stay, socialize, and then be off. So I will leave you two alone. See you again, Kazui."
They both watched the older woman walk amongst the crowd. They both stood there silently, taking turns glancing at one another.
"Lothren did phenomenal work on your armour, Kazui. He even made enough room, so you can place your cloth you call 'hoodie' above your head." She made to show him, lifting her hands to raise his hoodie to cover his hair. She sweetly smiled glancing up at him as he glanced down, observing her.
"I fear that if I kiss you right now I'll either turn into a frog or I'll hear a clock chime and we'll both be in rags."
Koemi stared at Kazui with a puzzled look, causing him to laugh while leaning down, kissing her. "It's from the fairy tales I told you about. With everyone excited and you looking so ..." He began to blush as she looked up waiting for him to finish when he didn't get the chance.
"Princess Koemi, don't you look positively striking," General Zyden spouted loudly having some of his men behind him. He then glanced over to see Kazui, then down at his armour only for him to furiously glare at the symbol at his chest.
"That's an insignia for royalty, not peons," he growled out.
"Hold your tongue, General. If you want to express your distaste for the armour. I'd advise you express it with Lothren himself."
The General eyes scanned Kazui, who was eyeing him the whole time but remained silent. "I think I will pay him a visit after I leave here."
"and when will that be?" Kazui finally voiced, eyes remaining on the General, even when his men furiously glared at the young hybrid.
"When I have my fill of what this village has to offer." He looked at Koemi appreciating her figure in the new apparel. "Everything here is so sweet and ripe. I'd be a fool not to enjoy life's little pleasures. Enjoy yourself Princess Koemi and boy." He removed himself as his men followed. Kazui reined in his anger, then felt Koemi's hands on his arm.
"Let's make our way to the stage, I wouldn't want to miss it. The children have been working so hard in creating it as well as training. I'm naturally excited because I have no idea what they plan on presenting, everything was all in secret." She giggled.
Kazui nodded putting aside the irritation the General recently brought him in following his girlfriend to the constructed stage. Many eyes were on them, especially on Kazui which caused him to feel uncomfortable. They were some few that even bowed to them, causing Koemi to explain to them that it wasn't necessary. Some of them didn't listen, even elders were so happy it brought tears to their eyes.
They finally made it to the stage as others gathered in wait, sitting on the grass in front of the wooden construction. After about half an hour, the lanterns turned brighter on the stage.
An older child, wearing cotton on his head and chin to create a beard, held a scroll. He began to talk about the war that raged Shun Nya against the Underworld. Kazui saw small children wearing their newly acquired apparel from Lothren reenacting a historic fight. The narrator continued to speak about how they lost so many, as many behind him pretended to fall in defeat.
"Amarestsu promised a day when Shun Nya would be delivered from this darkness." The lights shut off for a moment to brighten once more, to show a child wearing an outfit that resembled King Fuminori, on his knees while another child wearing long strings of cloth over their head to create a man of long white hair.
"Please, Prince Mitsuhide. I ask that you spare us and my daughter."
"No, Princess Koemi belongs to me."
A small portal opened up to reveal Haji wearing a replica of shinigami apparel with several orange carnations bunched upon his head.
Kazui's eyes looked on in shock. Was that supposed to be him?
"You can't have her," Haji yelled, fighting with the Mitsuhide who on several occasions had to stop to pick up his clothed hair, having fallen off.
Kazui heard a soft giggle. He turned to find Koemi trying to hold in the laughter with her hands. He leaned in and whispered, "I take it that's supposed to be me?" Koemi turned to him still chuckling and nodding her head.
The fight ended with the miniature Kazui besting Mitsuhide and running back into a wormhole with the mortal King. It wasn't exactly accurate but Kazui felt flattered with their representation of him.
The scene moved to mini Kazui meeting Princess Koemi, who was played by Tani, wearing pink cloth and flowers on her head.
"Princess I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you," Haji expressed, as the small Fuminori placed a bracelet around his arm.
"I will wear this to protect you from Mitsuhide or until you find someone more worthy than me for you."
At that time, an older child walked in, wearing heavy bags tied to his arm and chest to represent muscles.
"I General Zyden will..." before the fake General could talk another child with black hair knocked down the General and placed his foot on his back to prevent him from getting up. Kazui glanced to find the actual General standing watching the play with crossed arms and vexed features.
"I don't think so General, it will be I, Haji." For some reason, the Haji actor was much taller than the fake Kazui.
Haji himself was smiling from ear to ear but didn't realize he was stalling the play when all eyes were on him. He coughed and raised a fake black sword.
"Let us set aside our quarrel for the love of the princess and defeat the Dark Faes that plague this world."
The mini Zyden on the ground was having a difficult problem getting up with the extra weight. Kazui couldn't help but blurt out in laughter, causing some to stare as he apologized.
The lights shut off briefly then reappeared to show the mini Kazui leading the charge against an army. Kazui was proud of the display of athleticism from his students and Haji using his shield that was much larger than when he first met him.
"Go back to where you came from and never return," the mini Kazui yelled, as the army that represented the dark faes slinked back off stage. The children all cheered in triumph. The mini Koemi walked on stage to place a kiss on the cheek of the orange-flowered hero, causing Haji to blush.
The other Haji came on stage, "I know I am a better man than you Kazui, but Koemi belongs to the hero that brought us victory, and for that I am grateful." All the children bent down to the ground on one knee, leaving the smaller versions of Koemi and Kazui standing in the middle.
Kazui looked beside himself, to find the real Koemi's eyes widen. He saw her smile falter a bit, but then she chuckled once more and began to clap with everyone else when all the children on the stage began to bow towards the audience.
Haji stood up proudly and yelled, "W... We would like to give our Princess a gift, please come up, Princess Koemi."
Koemi blushed a bit and stood up from the ground to make her way to the stage. She walked up in front of Haji, holding a small box in hand.
"This gift was not only from us but from everyone in this village that loves you. We ask that you accept this token as appreciation, we know you seldom ask for anything and you give more than you receive. Please accept this gift from us."
Tani opened the box, to reveal a circular tiara that matched her armour, with small turquoise flowers and diamond branches entwined. Tani whispered to the Princess to please lower herself as Koemi blushed and bent to the little girl's level.
"Thank you Princess Koemi, we love you." Everyone cheered and Kazui couldn't help but smile as happy tears cascaded down the princess's features. The tiara wrapped around her head snuggly, when she bowed it didn't budge it was a perfect fit. She kissed the ones she was able to kiss and blew kisses to the children she wasn't able to hug.
At the end of the play, the celebration continued with music playing and dancing. As Koemi danced with the children, Kazui leaned back mesmerized at how beautiful she truly was, the lights hit her in such a way, having her tiara shine, illuminating even more of her beauty. He decided to leave her for a moment to have fun with her people, while he walked to contemplate.
He should be grateful that the children and village saw him as some hero, but he knew he couldn't do this alone. The play was missing a key part, his family, especially his father. Haji was dressed in shinigami apparel with the orange flowers in his hair representing him, but it should have been his dad for it to be accurate for their turmoil to finally end. Not him.
Kazui was walking away from the village he didn't notice he was in an area he hadn't been to before. He wasn't aware until he heard familiar talking and moans. That's when he realized two reiatsu, they probably didn't notice him since he always trained himself to cloak his presence. He peeked a bit to find Vathyst bent over while General Zyden was behind her, pounding into her while he grunted and she moaned.
He also felt another familiar reiatsu. He turned to find Koemi looking for him, it looked like she hadn't spotted him yet but she was heading towards the couple. He had been training her to heighten her awareness of finding reiatsu, but with his non-existent, she believed she was following his. He shunpo'd in front of her before she could talk he lifted his finger to his lips to suggest to her to be silent. Her smile from finding him turned to one of curiosity. He was trying to pull her away from the area when she heard the moans herself. She looked through the shrubbery and Kazui could see her eyes widen and her tone redden. He proceeded to pull her away as she followed.
Kazui could feel her reiatsu become erratic, calm, and then erratic again. They made their way from prying eyes to the tent they both shared. He sat her down on the ground while he positioned the blue luminous plant near them.
"Kimi, Are you alright?" He glanced at her, seeing her look at the ground probably not even hearing him, "Koemi?!" he said a little louder.
She glanced up to find him staring at her and her eyes began to widen and felt herself become warm.
"I...I'm fine," she giggled, busying her hands with a sheet of paper as she made an origami butterfly. He proceeded to sit in front of her while preventing her from reaching for another paper by holding her hands.
She didn't bother looking at him, so he lifted her chin.
"Why avoid me now, Kimi?"
"I'm not trying to avoid you. I... I just need time to process what I just saw." He could feel her fingers shake a bit as she bit her lip. "T...That was intercourse?"
"Well, one way."
"You mean that's just one, h...how many are there?" She looked up to him in shock and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Kazu," she whined, "You're making fun of me, that's unfair."
He leaned close to kiss her on the lips. "No, you look so hopelessly cute. I couldn't help but laugh."
She turned in embarrassment, fidgeting with her dress.
"To answer your question, I'm not entirely sure, some say 46 and others say well into 100 positions."
He looked over to find her nervously giggle and then began to touch her cheeks, her complexion turning even redder. Kazui removed her hands to hold them in his. He leaned in to kiss her. Then kissing her more aggressively.
"What are you thinking about, Kimi?" He kissed her neck as she sighed. She didn't answer as he continued to kiss her, "Are you thinking of General Zyden?"
Koemi moved her face to prevent him from kissing her, as she looked up at him upset, "I wasn't! I felt what they were both feeling. The position looked like he was hurting her, but she felt anything but. He was causing her extreme pleasure and I imagined myself in Vathyst position but with you."
She looked down ashamed of herself.
"Turn around," he whispered. His hands went to her arms to press the button to disengage her armour as he did his. He kissed her neck from behind as he slowly pushed her forward so she was bent over with her bottom up facing him. She felt his hands lift her skirt and untie the cloth undergarment that shielded her center. She didn't wait long to find two fingers investigate between her legs and then enter her. "You've been wet for a while, Kimi. Was it since we found them having sex or since this morning?"
"Mmmm, stop you're making me sound like one of perversion," she whimpered, feeling him thrust his fingers deeper.
"I wouldn't think less of you, Kimi. When I'm always thinking of you. You have no idea how difficult it was this morning without you there, to make matters worse, you look so good in that dress and armour." He growled out, and she could hear his hollow start to appear in his voice, "Are you making me feel this way on purpose?"
"NO!" she yelled out orgasming all over his fingers. She slumped down as he turned her to lay on her back. He removed his hoodie and shirt, watching as her half-lidded eyes glanced at his body. He then removed his pants swiftly, leaning onto her, and kissing her. He pushed the top of the dress down to remove a breast as he fondled her nipple. She moaned feeling already sensitive.
"Kazu, Wait! Mmm, Kazui!" She placed both hands on the sides of his face so he can stare at her face to face. He could see her in tears and he became worried.
"What is it, Koemi? Was it something I did?"
She sniffed as he whipped the stray tear that was falling, "Yes and No." He looked at her confused while she pulled his face in close for another kiss. "You're amazing Kazui. It's not only me that sees it, but everyone else here. You probably didn't think you were special, for the simple fact that your world couldn't understand what you were, it's not their fault. If your world was spiritually aware of things, they'd see how great you are. I'm ashamed because I want more of you, you make me feel things with your hands and mouth and seeing the General and Vathyst like that. I feel deprived, I want to experience everything with you."
"Koemi, if we go further-"
"I don't care," she insisted, her tears were pouring more, "Didn't you tell me that Ichika was thankful to you that she experienced someone loving her?"
Kazui lifted himself to sit down, his back facing her, while he held his head. "Why are you bringing her up, Koemi?"
"Because you deserve to at least experience that much, to truly feel loved," she wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, "I want to give my-"
"Stop!"
"No, I'm telling you what I feel. I understand that this will be your first time as well. I'm just proposing it because it's what I truly want. If it is not something you want I will understand. I...I just wanted you to know it's my choice and my feelings for you haven't changed."
Kazui turned to see her smiling as well as in tears. "What if tomorrow-"
"If tomorrow we are separated. I told you I will treasure our memories. I won't regret it. I ...I promise."
He wished he could feel what she was feeling, deep down he knew her feelings were true. He just felt like shit he wasn't quite there yet.
"It's okay if you don't love me, I already said as much."
"I don't want to also bring a child into this?"
"Well, Vathyst gave me something for that."
Kazui remembered the older woman handing Koemi a dress and whispering in her ear.
"We have a plant. Its leaves are edible, preventing the man's seed from completing in entering the female's egg. Once taken it's good for a week. It's only located in certain areas in Shun Nya. One location being Valina."
So this world had a form of contraception. "I'm guessing you told her about us."
Koemi nodded and blushed. She picked up a small tin case, opening it to show him the leaves. Kazui glanced at it and waited for her to eat one.
"I... I ate one when I was changing," she stated, closing the case and avoiding his stare.
"So confident I would say yes that you already planned ahead?" Kazui smirked causing her to blush further.
"No, I... I-"
Kazui interrupted her stuttering with a kiss to her lips and pushed her down with his body on top. He was ecstatic to give his first time to a princess, he was more worried about her. "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure," she kissed him widening her mouth for his tongue. He wasted no time, removing his briefs, while also helping her to completely remove her dress. The many times they fooled around he hadn't seen her completely naked, she tried covering herself from him, only for him to remove her hands.
"You shouldn't hide, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You're beautiful." He kissed her as they both moaned. He could feel her wetness against his hardened member. He glanced down to find his erection already sliding between her insides. It felt good as he closed his eyes. He aligned himself against her, as he looked at her for a moment while she smiled. He pushed a bit in, finding it tight. He almost ripped the cloth on the mat, to prevent himself from releasing himself. He could see on her face that she was feeling discomfort.
"I'm sorry, I know it hurts."
"I know, I trust you." She expressed with such warmth in her eyes.
'Shit,' he thought. This was too fast, he was falling hard. As he pushed furthermore, it felt too good to stop. He waited till she was okay before he slowly pushed all the way in. He kissed everywhere, played with her clit to get her mind off the pain. When he felt her squirm a bit, he moved up and slowly in. She moaned and the feeling of going inside her slowly, nearly made him burst once more. This felt great. She felt so good. He closed his eyes thinking of nothing but thrusting in and out of her and preventing himself from cumming. He listened to her small breaths and cute whimpers.
That's when they both heard the clink of metal hit the ground, he opened his eyes to find the bracelet of companionship on the ground. His eyes widened and Koemi, maneuvered his face to look at her.
"Don't worry."
"I won't. I promise I'll protect you. If Mitsuhide ever touches you, he'll regret it." He growled, irises filling black and his hollow voice returning. She couldn't help orgasming from him desperately thrusting into her. He didn't realize how fast he was going before he came himself. He was out of it for a bit, but he could feel himself start to harden again, from being so snug and warm inside her.
"Oh Kimi, you feel so good, are you okay to go again?"
She was feeling sore down below before but she was feeling much too good to feel any pain, "Yes," she muttered, kissing him before he shoved deeper. He watched as she moved her hips and smiled at him, it only ignited him to push deeper. Her mouth opened wide to reveal no sound, he smiled finding her sweet spot. Thrusting more she shivered from orgasming. She was tightening around him as he held one of her legs up to widen her further.
He wanted more of her.
He kissed her neck while thrusting in.
"I love you," he heard her whisper, and he couldn't help but thrust harder and release in her once more.
He looked at her to find her exhausted, he kissed her head as she sighed and smiled. He leaned onto his back laying beside her, pulling her into his arms.
Kazui looked down to find himself upright again.
'Damn it. It'll go down.'
He'll just close his eyes and drift off to sleep.
-o-
'slurp'
Kazui awoke, to find it being morning but the sound of slurping noises and his cock still rock hard. He looked down to find Koemi servicing him with her tongue. When she realized he was awake, she grinned.
"You're awake, I was trying to get your attention," she leaned forward to kiss his lips.
"Huh?"
"Well, you said yesterday it was difficult for you since we didn't do anything in the morning. Before I started my day, I want to make sure you didn't have to deal with this during your day." She explained softly grabbing his cock.
"Sure I said that, but I was just teasing. You don't really have to," he panted.
"Well, I also want to feel good again." She straddled his hips just under his hard cock. "Kazui, would it feel good if I was on top instead?" she expressed innocently, he could feel himself pulsating.
"Let's find out," he said using one hand to guide her hips while his other hand aligned himself. She placed her hands onto his arms, widening herself. She could slowly feel him enter as she pushed down going way too fast.
"Oh SHIT!" Kazui hollered out, grabbing her hips a bit too hard.
"MMM," she couldn't talk for a moment, but when she was able to she questioned him, "Are you okay, did I hurt you?"
"No, the opposite," he chuckled breathlessly, grabbing her for a hug and kiss. "You're going too fast, I was going to cum right then and there, with you feeling so good." He gasped as she tried to use his arms for support. He watched as her determined face scrunched and slowly was teaching herself to ride him. He held himself from thrusting into her, instead used his hands to grab her hips to help guide her.
"Kazu, don't help. Let me please you," she pouted. In response, she felt him thrust upward. He felt her tighten and watched as her eyes fluttered.
"That's cute how you want to please me. Don't you know you have power over me, every time you tighten I'm this close to cumming in you?" He thrust upward, whispering into her ear, "Cum for me, Kimi."
She glanced at him with her eyes half-lidded, her cheeks flustered as she whimpered, "Okay."
He stopped his thrusting in awe at how pure she looked before she moaned out her release and tightened, he thrust upward holding her hips steady as he released as well.
After a bit, he felt her get up. He quickly held her close not wanting her to go. She giggled as he smiled.
"Kazui remember it's my day to watch Tara for Bindusar."
"I know, it doesn't change that I want to spend today here with you."
He hugged her a bit more before letting her go, "What about what we discussed about bringing her to meet the children? We don't have to mention anything about her powers or who her mother is. She can slowly build a relationship with them, that they won't even care." He asked as Koemi, went to the bowl of water and cloth to clean herself. Koemi mulled it over.
"I have to discuss this with Bindusar first, he has the final say."
"Yes of course," Kazui began to wash with another cloth as he leaned to kiss her. "You should continue wearing what you were wearing yesterday," he said when he saw she was planning on wearing her usual apparel.
"How would I look later when I'm digging through the dirt?" she scrunched her nose.
"Like a princess," Kazui chuckled, he watched her hesitate as she proceeded to wear the pretty garment. She was sure Tara would love seeing it too.
"Well, it does feel comfortable and it goes with my armour," she mumbled.
Kazui reached down to show her the bracelet, "Do I tie a string and connect it."
"No, I don't want to hide what was done between us, there's no need for it." She ignored his concerned features to ask him a question, "If you want, we could spend most of the day in bed tomorrow. How about it?"
Kazui liked the idea so much he passionately kissed her before she waved goodbye and left.
-o-
Koemi smiled and continued to giggle to herself as she walked towards the home that housed Bindusar and Tara. She could still feel soreness where she was penetrated but the ache only caused her to blush and think more about what they shared. She tripped on absolutely nothing while steadying the basket of food and goods she held. She needed to pull herself together. She stopped for a moment, inhaling and exhaling, then proceeded to walk down the path.
She stepped closer to the home to find his door already ajar. Koemi first knocked and then proceeded in, "I apologize for being a bit late. Bindusar?" She opened the door more, to find the man holding onto Sonja and their child desperately glancing at her presence sorrowfully.
"Sonja? Oh, praise Amaretsu you escaped!"
She watched as Bindusar held onto his wife tighter, who began to cry, and looked up at Koemi, "I'm truly sorry, Princess Koemi."
Before Koemi could register his meaning, the door shut closed. Covering the whole room in darkness for a moment, before fire sparked out from where the door was. Lighting several candles around them, lighting the small home. Koemi saw the features of the man she never wanted to see.
"Prince Mitsuhide," she whispered, feeling nauseous as she dropped her basket.
"Astonishing, you've grown even lovelier Princess Koemi. To think I told my father that this would be a waste." He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms glaring at her.
"Bindusar place your hand on Princess Koemi," Mitsuhide ordered.
Bindusar swallowed glancing at the Dark Fae Prince, "Your majesty I already explained the bracelet of companionship is worn."
"What's a little pain, Bindusar, haven't I expressed my thanks by gifting back your wife?" Bindusar glanced at Sonja who was afraid of letting her husband go while clutching her daughter tightly.
"It's okay, Bindusar," Koemi assured, walking towards him with a smile.
"Princess, you have to understand I did it to protect them. I didn't mean to-"
"There's no need for that Bindusar. You are still a good man in my eyes," she expressed as he cried, reaching out his hand to hold hers. Looking up surprised to feel no pain.
"That's disappointing," Mitsuhide hissed, leaning up from the wall, "Either someone lied about you receiving the bracelet of companionship or-."
"Your highness I never lied," Bindusar pleaded, only to feel the arm that touched Koemi sliced off. The man yelled as blood sprayed. Sonja screamed as Tara held on to her mother in fear.
"-Or Princess Koemi gifted her maidenhood to someone else. Was it you Bindusar?"
"NO, I would never-" he groaned holding his cut, feeling himself become light-headed. Koemi tied a cloth around, to suture the wound.
"Like you wouldn't take one of my concubines?"
Koemi shielded the strike that was heading for the man's heart, she had regretted not reacting fast enough to the first time he attacked.
"Leave them alone, your quarrel is with me."
"Oh, but my quarrel is with them as well. No one steals what belongs to me and lives. Don't worry I won't kill you Koemi, you're too tempting for that. I will kill them and kill the one who entered you."
-o-
Kazui spoke to the children about Tara, expressing to them that she needed friends. Some were curious as to why her parents forbade her to see others. Kazui informed them that he couldn't go into detail, but told them it was her family being shunned and them fearing their child would receive the same treatment.
"Well, if Princess Koemi loves the girl as much as she loves us, I'm sure we will love her too," Haji yelled out.
"I'll make sure to pick a lot of flowers for her, so she can bring them home and show them to her family."
"That's great, Tani. So they can see how well she was treated making it easier for her to visit again."
Tani squealed with delight from Kazui's words and ran to pull wildflowers.
General Zyden decided to show his presence without any of his lackeys, Kazui couldn't see them but he could feel them posted around the field. Watching. Kazui couldn't help but smirk.
"Morning, General."
Kazui deciding to see where today's altercation would bring them, by saying hello first.
"Spare me your pleasantries, boy. We both know we tolerate each other due to the mutual respect of the Princess. I came to update her on findings we found on the banks of Kesia."
Kazui knew that Kesia was ten miles away from this particular area.
"What findings?"
Zyden glared at him. "I only answer to King Fuminori and his daughter, I sense Koemi a mile from here. So I will wait for her return."
He crossed his arms. Kazui couldn't help but shake his head.
"Any information concerning this village is something I need to know. You will keep the information, that may be beneficial in protecting the King's daughter?"
Zyden growled, thinking it over before he decided to speak.
"Two of my men scouted the area, to find mermaids so far from Korrale. They whispered amongst themselves of Mitsuhide's growing impatience, how the dark army was spotted near Korrale's palace."
"You believe he's making his way to the Sands of Korrale?"
"No," Zyden was deep in thought, "It strikes me odd, mermaids so far from Korrale to talk amongst themselves. They are sexual creatures, only concerned with populating themselves than the concerns of what is on land. They used my men and fled as if.."
"As if their main goal was to deliver a message. When did your men come upon this?"
"Last night after the festivities had ended. I wanted a sweep of the area. Generally, I would have taken this information and proceeded to head to Korrale, but something in my gut told me to wait. Discuss this with the princess before heading out."
"Your decision was correct," Kazui began to head towards the children, pressing the button to show his armour, along with activating his Shinigami powers. "Zyden hurry and tell your men to ready themselves with an invasion."
Zyden's eyes widened glancing around sensing nothing, but gritted his teeth, he saw the seriousness in Kazui's face.
"MEN, SET ARMOR. THE FIRST UNIT NOTIFY THE REAR OF INVASION, BY SENDING TWO SCOUTS."
Kazui sped fast to the children, "Listen, all of you! I have to make sure our princess is ok, set your armour, notify the villagers that forces are going to invade here."
The children's eyes worried, some were in tears, while others had a brave face. "I'm not sure when, but I need for you to be brave and leave to where the hidden shelters are. You all should escape before they can come."
Kazui didn't feel anything wrong with Koemi's reiatsu, she was far enough from the village not to be harmed. It was a secluded location from the village, but he needed to be by her side, in case.
"Honestly, Here we thought Zyden was brawn and no brain."
Kazui heard a familiar voice and felt their reiatsu, it was Lord Iki-Ryo walking out from the trees alone. "We so much wanted his soldiers away at Korrale, so that it would be much easier to burn this pathetic village. No worries, it changes nothing. You all will die."
Portals sprung out to show his soldiers and royal guards mixed together.
"Don't underestimate our forces, Lord Iki-Ryo you piece of shit," Zyden yelled, "SECOND UNIT, PROTECT THE VILLAGE, FIRST UNIT STAY HERE WITH ME." The General then sneered down at Kazui, "Boy take those children and protect our Princess or I will."
Kazui gave a menacing stare and glanced at the direction the children were headed being blocked by the enemy, "BANKAI!"
The immense power blew across the fields, shaking some of Zyden's men that were near him, losing their balance. Kazui shunpo'd in front of the children and raised his sword.
"GETSUGA TENSHO," he blasted the soldiers that were blocking the children's way. "GO NOW AND ESCAPE."
The Haji noticed him following them, "We're fine, this is what you trained us for, protect our princess," the small boy yelled. Kazui could tell he was scared himself, but he held onto a crying Tani. It was showing he was trying to be strong for her as his little body shook.
"AVOID CONFLICT AND ESCAPE. FIGHTING IS ONLY WHEN ITS THE LAST OPTION YOU HAVE. OKAY?"
All his students nodded and began to run.
He was headed in Koemi's direction when Lord Iki-Ryo blocked his way.
"Now I can't have you interrupting Mitushide and Koemi's reunion." The words rolled out of his tongue menacingly like his smile.
It was then Kazui felt Koemi's reiatsu spike, a cold uncomfortable unease washed over him. Kazui could feel his hollow scratching the surface. Kazui sped at the man who was blocking his path to saving the one person he promised to protect.
Zyden stood his ground, making sure his eyes were on the enemies. "UNIT 3, ARROWS!"
Arrows from the trees shot out, hitting the ground near the enemy's group. They looked at the arrows curiously, as a rush of air flooded through their ranks. Some of the Dark Faes glanced at the royal guards in amusement.
"What manner of bullshit is this? Fill us with a rush of air in hopes we get fucking dirt in our eyes." One Dark Fae arrogantly said. Zyden quickly released his fairy as its red blade rushed at the laughing man. The blade sped into his eye and out of his head. The Dark Fae placed his hand over the wound, as another royal guard tried to heal him, his arms were shortly cut down.
"You only delayed the healing, but you assholes cannot kill-" the Dark Fae stopped in mid-talk for his eyes to roll back and drop to the floor. Zyden used his fairies blade to rip through the heart of the one he made armless.
"You bastards hide behind your immortality, but if small amounts of water from Lenavi were to be put in gas form and entered your system. Then it's just mortal vs mortal. I like those odds. UNIT 3, ARROWS. UNIT 1 ADVANCE WITH ME. LET'S SHOW THESE ASSHOLES THEIR MISTAKE IN COMING HERE."
A barrage of arrows came raining down, some filled with the gas others went right through the heads of the enemy soldiers, killing them instantly.
Kazui hardly fought with Iki-Ryo trying to pass him, concerning himself with getting to Koemi than deal with an insignificant pest. He was easily dodging his attacks and shielding himself against his poisonous fairy. Kazui felt the sadness and anger that was flowing from the direction of where Koemi was. When he made to create a portal, Iki Ryo kicked him and Kazui had to block a hit that was aimed at his head.
"You shouldn't worry about the princess any longer, you should worry about your fight with me. She'll be treated like royalty."
Kazui realized the Lord was right, he hadn't been concentrating on his fight with him. Kazui's mask formed on his right side as his eyes were no longer his own. "Worried?" he chuckled as his hollow voice talked, his horned mask began to cover most of his face. A Mask covered in black, with yellow irises, and dark pupils staring at Lord Iki-Ryo. He grabbed the older man by the throat, shoving him against the tree.
"You're the one who should be worried."
"Kazui, leave him to me. Find Koemi I sense her in distress," Zyden claimed a little unnerved when those dark eyes focused on him for a moment before letting Iki-Ryo go.
Kazui shun-poed, disappearing before their eyes.
"That was a mistake on your part. I'm still immortal," Iki-Ryo stressed to Zyden.
"Good so I can keep hurting you and you won't die," Zyden smiled releasing his fairy's form towards his enemy as it scratched his cheek.
Iki-Ryo launched his poisoned fairy, for it to be blocked by Zyden's shield.
"I've been trained since I was young by King Fuminori. Someone who is a hundred times the man you'd ever be, Iki-Ryo. You're a coward and worse than the shit from a Penteons' ass."
"Fuminori a better man? Such nonsense coming from a mortal to a god," he quipped, seeing the man disappear, suddenly having a blade digging into his shoulder blade. Iki-Ryo growled in pain, glaring at the man who stood in front as his fairy dug its blade deeper.
"This man is going to see a god plead to die today."
-o-
"Run please far away from here," Koemi screamed to the family behind her as she tried to hold her shield against Mitsuhide.
"This is too adorable," Mitsuhide smiled, breaking her shield, to shove her against the wall.
The Dark Prince felt a hard shield shove him away as he glanced up to find, Bindusar cradling his arm.
"Koemi take my wife and Tara, then leave." Koemi began to disagree when he interrupted. "GO NOW!"
Koemi rushed out of the house, noticing Sonja and Tara made a head start, looking behind them to see Koemi following.
"Don't stop, continue running," Koemi yelled, pushing Sonja to move forward, noticing her hesitance in waiting for her husband.
Sonja looked behind one last time at their home before, carrying a fearful Tara.
Sonja screamed in agony falling forward as Tara flew out of her arms and into the dirt.
Koemi saw the woman's legs were no longer there. Something had burned the lower part of her legs clean through. Koemi turned to see the house turned to flames as the fires turned from orangy red to blue.
"Mommy," Tara sniffled, crawling towards her mother.
"Don't come closer. P...Please take her away. She doesn't need to see this," Sonja yelled in tears.
Koemi didn't have time to think before she grabbed Tara who hollered and fought.
This was her fault.
Koemi heard a gut-curdling scream before it ended as she continued to run. She felt Tara's little hands grab onto her and cry into her arms. She looked forward, finding smoke and screams in the direction of her village. She ran closer, to find the nightmare in front of her eyes.
Her Fault.
She saw bodies laying on the floor, her people, people who loved her, who were now lifeless on the floor. She soothed Tara, telling her to keep her eyes shut. She could feel Kazui's spiritual pressure, it was aggressive.
'He must be fighting.' She thought.
She saw Zyden's soldiers ahead of her fighting, trying to protect some of the villagers who were able to escape.
She stopped to look in horror to find Haji using his shield to prevent a soldier from injuring Tani. The little girl was trying to use what little strength she had to heal her mother. Haji was in tears but yelled as the soldier angrily tried to hit through his shield. When the shield broke, Koemi pushed the soldier with her shield, knocking him out.
She ran towards the children who looked surprised and grateful.
"P...Princess, You shouldn't be here," he wiped his little face as he trembled, "If they find you, they will kill you."
Tani wasn't able to heal the wounds as the light from her mother's eyes gave out.
"Haiji, I need you to do me a favour."
Haji nodded at his princess.
"T...Take Tani and Tara far away, head to the hidden shelters I showed you."
"What about you?" Haji looked on with worry.
"It's an order, Haji." She didn't mean to yell as the little boy nodded.
"Tara please go with them, they will keep you safe," she placed the little girl near Haji, "Tani, I'm so sorry. Please run away." She held the little girl's face, who finally looked away from her mother.
Haji held both girl's hands and ran as fast as his little feet could. He almost made it to the trees with them when he felt a hand grasp his throat.
"Now, Koemi. Why give these children false hope?" Mitsuhide tsked shaking his head.
"You... leave ...them ...alone," Haji coughed, trying to use his small shield in front of Tani and Tara who stood in fear.
"or what?" he narrowed his eyes at the boy and squeezed a little harder.
"MITUSHIDE!" Koemi yelled running towards them, using all her strength to attack. She found herself missing her target and twirled into his arms, with her facing Haji and her back facing Mitsuhide.
"Coming to save an admirer, Koemi. Well, can't have him growing up to be competition. Him being so defiant at such a young age. Instead of squeezing so hard his eyes pop out, wouldn't you like to see him die slowly?"
Koemi heard Haji choke and his eyes begin to roll back. She elbowed Mitushide as hard as she could, having him lose his grip as the boy fell.
"Run!" she screamed not before she was hit violently in the face. Her eyes blurred for a moment, trying to see what was going on.
She saw a dark figure with wings.
-o-
Mitsuhide's anger flared as blue flames surrounded the circumference of his fairy. He was about to burn the sniffling children before an ominous presence blocked his sight. A figure donned in Royal Fae armour, with black tendrils of cloth and eyes around his form. Dark Wings spread and floated behind his back. The presence had quickly carried the children to safety as they disappeared into the forest, escaping. It then checked on Koemi's figure before it glanced in his direction.
It said nothing before something shot out from his wings, pinning him against a tree. Mitushide looked at his shoulders to see arrows protruding out from his body. The form was face to face, yellow eyes staring at him in anger.
A hand shot grabbing his neck, placing pressure so he had troubled breathing. He heard a menacing warped voice speak to him.
"If I were to squeeze hard enough, would your eyes pop out of your head as well?"
The voice sounded as if it was smiling in the delight of its twisted joke, but with the mask covering its features, it was hard to tell.
Mitushide then heard the beginnings of something breaking. Then suddenly the mask broke apart, showing the features of the spawn of Orihime.
Kazui felt his power drain suddenly.
Shit.
He tried to form his mask across his face, before a well-aimed punch connected from under his chin. Kazui felt pain in his jaw and dodge other incoming strikes from Mitushide. He felt a white-hot searing pain in his abdomen before he smelt charred skin. He looked down to see blue fire extinguish as a hole formed where his stomach should have been. He fell on his knees trying to place the healing dome. He was able to heal a bit before he was kicked in the face. Mitushide grabbed his orange hair roughly to face him as Kazui coughed up blood.
"I just needed you to heal yourself just enough to stay alive. I want you alive to see this."
He let go of Kazui's hair, to walk up to Koemi dragging her in view of the orange-haired mortal's sight.
He kissed her mouth as her hands pulled at his long hair to shove him away. "You'll get used to it, Koemi. Some of my concubines always cry and fight in the beginning."
Kazui shot forward with not enough momentum before he was shoved back by a shield. He spat out more blood onto the floor while holding his stomach from internal bleeding.
Koemi looked at Kazui with worry as she felt her body being shoved to the ground. Mitsuhide was trying to lift her skirt. She fought him, grabbing his wrists and screaming at the top of her lungs.
Mitsuhide smirked at her attempt at trying to stop him until she saw his grin falter and his hands flew up to his temple.
She saw his body convulse onto the floor as he screamed continuing to hold his head.
"What... are you doing... to me," he said venomously as he glared up at her.
It was her doing this?
She didn't understand as she watched the Dark Fae Prince, scream in pain. She didn't know how to prevent it from happening, and she wasn't sure she wanted it to stop. Her body was hit hard from behind, slamming against Kazui's form. She looked up to find Lord Iki-Ryo running towards his fallen son.
"My son are you alright?" Lord Iki-Ryo uttered, making sure his son was fully conscious. The older man didn't look the least bit better, with his body bruised and cut.
"We need to leave. I will take Koemi."
Mitushide flew past his father to grab Koemi, shaping his shield to stab her in the stomach and twist. He kissed her cheek.
"Now bleed out you little bitch."
"What are you doing, Mitsuhide?" Iki- Ryo shoved his son away, placing his hands over Koemi's wound.
"Let that conniving slut, die."
"She's important-"
"To She'ol or to you? Father, if you long for a young cunt, I'll find one for you."
"You're not finding shit. You cowardly fuckers," Zyden proclaimed, glaring at Iki-Ryo who stood. "This is where you ran to."
The General let his fairy lose, it's red blade soared towards iki-Ryo. When Mitsuhide made to attack he was blocked by a shield. He glanced over to find Fuminori.
"Come to save your cunt of a daughter," The Dark Prince ranted.
"F...Father," Koemi cried out.
Fuminori glanced at her, seeing the blood seeping from under her as Kazui tried to stand. He generated an access gate and sped towards the fatally wounded couple.
"There's no time for reunions. Kazui if you could hear me, I'm making a way for you to head to Hueco Mundo. Guard and Protect her."
"Wait, come with us," she yelled.
"Take this bag with you, inside are herbs from Pythia to you," Koemi looked surprised, taking the bag and looking at her father. "I need to protect the people of Shun Nya."
"Then I will come with you."
"NO!" He hollered, blocking another hit from Mitsuhide. His eyes focused on his General instead of his daughter, seeing he was in battle with Lord Iki-Ryo.
"Zyden, your place is not here. Take the remaining villagers and protect them with your life."
Zyden looked to Fuminori and then towards his enemy, hesitating before making his decision.
"Boy, don't you die on me, you bastard," He yelled, before opening a wormhole and disappearing.
Fuminori pushed his daughter as well Kazui into the access gate. Koemi watched as her father was left to contend with two immortals. The world she knew since birth disappeared to be surrounded by night and a sea of sand.
"Koemi," she heard Kazui whisper as she was snapped back to reality. "I'll heal your wounds."
"No, you're worse," she cried out, seeing Kazui's pale features as he tried summoning his healing powers only for it to flicker and disappear.
"Just... My side hurts. I...I see the world spinning," he said before he passed out. She investigated the side where he said it hurt to find a wound that looked too familiar. Lord Iki-Ryo must have found a way to hit Kazui with his poison unawares.
She remembered the bag her father had given her from Pythia and searched to find the herbs she needed. Mixing them together and placing some on the poisoned wound and into his mouth.
Her father had said that Kazui's family and friends were in Hueco Mundo. It was such a desolate place, she looked around to see a huge structure in the distance. She couldn't possibly drag Kazui with fatal wounds all the way there. She couldn't even heal him. This was her fault as well as being useless. She started to cry but stopped herself, she didn't have time for this. Kazui was dying and she needed to find help. She concentrated on the large structure to try to find a reiatsu that she could warp to.
She closed her eyes and saw many flickers of reiatsu, one had stood out differently from the others, something familiar. She had played with sensing spiritual pressure before with Kazui. She had mentioned to him the reiatsu that stood out in Shun Nya. He could only tell her he wasn't sure what that meant, shrugging it as possibly being familiar due to it being family. She was probably feeling her father this whole time in Shun Nya, but it felt odd and when she really concentrated on that reiatsu it didn't feel at all like her father. Maybe this particular one was her brother, Daichi. She honed onto the familiar presence, calling her access gate. Summoning powers in desperation, she pulled Kazui from under his arms and dragged him. The pain in her stomach was hurting, but she didn't let go until they were both through.
She was in a room with white walls and furniture. A man with black hair who was reading a book was eyeing her in surprise.
"Princess Koemi?"
The man glanced down to find Kazui on the ground as he glanced at the princess who had blood seeping from her stomach. He noticed they were both wearing the type of armour that the Queen and Noboru along with their guards wore.
"A..Are you Daichi?"
"No, My name is Hideyoshi."
She wobbled as he swiftly stepped near to steady her. Hideyoshi felt several reiatsu heading towards his room.
Arrancars and Shinigami stormed in with blades at the ready. Koemi turned in fear, glancing down at Kazui.
"Don't touch him," she screamed in her weakened state, struggling against the man who called himself Hideyoshi. She only stopped when someone came in pushing through resembling a much older Kazui. She watched him bend down to put his fingers to his son's neck and sighed with relief. Then glanced up at her. She saw the same colour eyes but not the friendly round ones that framed Kazui's features, his brows shot down with concern.
She gave a teary smile as she figured out who this man was.
"Grump-san!" she mumbled, feeling herself fall and her world turning black.
-x-
Sorry for the cliffhanger. You have no idea how long this was in my head. I needed a dramatic way to get Kazui and Koemi to Hueco Mundo, and I apologize for hurting them in the process.
I felt so bad writing the perfect day for our cutest couple only for me to ruin it, but at least they are safe. *sweatdrop*
I also want to know your thoughts on Kazui being OP, I always thought so with him taking Yhwach's remaining power. I also wanted Kazui to run into trouble to get there. As much as I liked in Bleach of Ichigo knocking the shit out of people I also liked his struggle to get stronger. I also wanted Kazui's form to be black mixed with his hollow, Quincy, and etc to be the opposite of his sweet personality. I still want Kazui to still have Orihime's traits of being kind, I just wanted his power to come from his anger.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, really want to know your thoughts.
