ZzZ.

As the wind blew through the park it brought the rick scent of cherry blossoms to the sensitive noes of the Hybrid that sat on the bench; helping to sooth the hybrid's troubled mind and provide him with a more calm state of mind. The scent helped to stop the deep panic he'd been feeling since earlier that day. When he'd first entered the park, the hybrid had been close to a breakdown, but the thrall of the nature around him halted the flowing dame of his emotional distress.

He honestly couldn't understand why she had left him. He had always been with her, for the longest of times he'd given her everything he had been able to; constantly striving to make her happy while often forgoing his own happiness. Also, he loved her. More than anything. More than she seemed to care for him anyway.

He had been given to the noble woman as a servant when he had been younger and he'd been devoted to his duty. Slowly, but surely, the hybrid had come to love the noble woman; always at her beck and call. However now she'd abandoned him.

Byakuya Kuchiki sighed heavily, his black velvety years drooping downward and his downy tail stilled in his sad mourning. Ever since Hisana told (ordered) him to leave, Byakuya had become depressed; losing his ability to hide his own feelings that for so long, he had been able to keep under lock and key. Byakuya's heart had become heavy within his chest; seeming to drag him down deeper into the abyss of depression he'd been feeling since that morning. Sadly even the park around him wasn't helping anymore to calm him, only bringing to his depression to light compared to the happy and healthy environment. Byakuya could feeling himself sinking further into his regret, depression and desperation; when suddenly the peace of the park was shattered.

Said disturber of the peace came in the form of an aggravated yell.

"OF COURSE!"

The pure volume alone was startling in itself, but the person who had raised their voice was more intriguing to Byakuya than startling. Well except for the fact that the man who'd yelled out looked like a low level yukuza.

The man was only ten feet away from the bench the hybrid was sitting on and appeared to be desperately trying to juggle several brown bags filled with food in his arms. However one of the brown bags had already splattered to the ground and now rest at the man's feet, the food that survived going in all directions.

Byakuya took the time to quickly take an assessment of the man only ten feet away. The color of the man's hair was a bright crimson, which Byakuya had never seen before. It was bright against the fading sun but dark when hidden in shadow. The crimson mane was pulled back into a pony tail at the top of the man's head that created a flowing waterfall of red. A black bandana covered the top part of the man's forehead and contained stray locks that Byakuya assumed had fallen lose during his struggle with his bags.

The red haired man's legs were covered by plain baggy blue jeans that the hybrid could see had been worn passed its uses. A grey shirt with a skull on it ( at least that was what Byakuya assumed it was as he couldn't see with the brown bags covering it ) the grey shirt covered the top part of the jeans and had a corner tucked into said jeans. A green hoodie prevented Byakuya from being able to tell if the shirt was long sleeved or short. He could however, see that two belts hanging from the man's hips. One red and the other blue. Overall the man didn't have much of a fashion sense compared to Byakuya himself, but he didn't look overly idiotic. Just, very different.

While Byakuya had been observing the man's appearance, another brown bag joined the first on the ground. The contents of the bag scattered just like the first, leaving the bag empty. This would cause the red haired man to put the other bags he still held down in favor of picking up the one's he dropped, plus the scattered food items. The dark haired hybrid sighed, he knew it would take the other far too long to do this all on his own. Standing up, the hybrid walked over to the struggling red haired man, bending to pick up a stray apple.

"Do you require assistance?" At Byakuya's question, the red haired man stilled in his 'juggling' and turned his head to fix Byakuya with a sharp stare. Byakuya was slightly startled by the color of his eyes. They too were a red color, but instead of a bright red his eyes were rusted instead. They penetrated Byakuya's soul and the hybrid found himself rooted to the spot. They locked eyes and neither looked away.

After a brief staring contest, the intriguing man looked away to take in the hybrid's own appearance, no doubt noticing his black ears and tail. When Byakuya raised a fine brow once they made eye contact once again, did the man finally respond.

"Yeah, that'd be great." Byakuya shivered at the husky voice and also cringed at the butchered wording. He'd always been more of a stickler when it came to speech. However he would ignore that for the time being. Once Byakuya had gotten the food back in the bags, he picked them up in his own arms; holding them much more securely and steadily than the other male had.

"Thanks, didn't know what I'd 'ave done without help." The man flashed Byakuya a grin that made the hybrid see the tattoo's on the man's face. "Do ya think ya' could help me get 'em to my place? I really would appreciate it."

Byakuya paused and thought about what the man was asking. While he didn't know him, Byakuya didn't think he would be hurt if he did follow the man. Besides, what did Byakuya have left to lose? He still hesitated before answering. "Very well."

"Cool.' The man gave the hybrid another grin and started walking with Byakuya following him. A confortable silence fell between them that Byakuya was shocked came so easily. Usually people wanted to start up meaningless conversations to fill the silence around them, but the red haired man beside him didn't seem like he wanted to.

While they were walking towards the man's home, Byakuya stole glances of the man from the corner of his eyes. The man didn't seem at all bothered with Byakuya's appearance. Quite the opposite in fact. The man seemed to be comfortable with the hybrid walking next to him. Most people would have at least stared for a limited amount of time before accepting the fact he was a hybrid. Only then would they be more secretive about their staring.

However the red haired man caught Byakuya staring and flashed a grin. Quickly Byakuya turned his attention back to the scenery in front of him, finding the path suddenly more interesting. He felt the slow flush of embarrassment for being caught starring. When his companion started to chuckle, Byakuya looked back towards him, noticing how the man was smirking with mirth in his eyes.

"Never seen someone with red hair before or something?" the man teased lightly.

Byakuya scowled at the teaser and gave the man a share glare. "Not particularly. I apologize for staring, it was rude of me."

Again the man snickered at the Hybrid's wording. It wasn't often he met someone who talked like this, next to never actually. In fact his usual crowd of people talked rather uneducated. Much like him as a matter of fact. However he himself had finished school to the fullest and was even working on getting his degree in marketing. Hopefully he'd be able to finish his classes this time. He also really didn't want to have to retake his classes again. Only if his job got in the way of course. Kenpachi was sure a dick when it came to hours.

Noticing the hybrid still glaring at him, he decided to cut the poor delicate looking man some slack. Besides it wouldn't do any good to make him angry. He might drop his food. "S'kay, I've never seen such a pretty guy before. You look like a woman from far away."

With that comment Byakuya flushed in embarrassment a growl leaving his throat in anger at the red head's comment towards him. He was not a woman! Nor did he look like one, even from far away. This, Neanderthal, was sadly mistaken if he thought Byakuya was a woman. However the hiss he let out at the man's chuckles only caused him to laugh that much harder until he was full blown roaring with laughter, shaking the bags be was holding and threatening to drop them once more. He was obviously undeterred by Byakuya. The hybrid only huffed and glared at the pavement, walking a little faster.

Thankfully, they arrived at the man's apartment flat, and entered the building. Byakuya noticed that the building wasn't overly well off, but a little run down in appearance. There were a few people who looked like they were gang members and when they caught Byakuya staring, gave the man warning glares and growls. Byakuya almost dropped the two bags he was holding when he felt their pure hatred from those cold glares. However a strong dominant male presence beside him had the other males across from them cringing and turning away.

Turning to face him, Byakuya saw the look of malice and anger focused on the men. The red head had an aggressive stance and was blocking Byakuya with his own body. It was then that Byakuya noticed he was taller than him. A good foot in fact. Byakuya was stunned at how he hadn't noticed this man was so tall.

All of a sudden the red head, turned to look down at him and Byakuya could see the same amusement and mirth as before.

"Ya good?" he asked quirking a brow. When Byakuya nodded again, he started moving towards the elevators. When they'd gotten inside, the red head pushed the button to the sixth floor and the car started moving. Again an easy silence fell between them, and Byakuya shifted the bags in his arms. They were getting heavy and since he wasn't use to manual labor Byakuya was starting to get tired.

Once they reached the door the red haired man braced himself against the door to fish out his keys from his hoddie pocket. Once the door was open, they both walked in. For a moment Byakuya was blind, even with his hybrid senses he couldn't see more than two feet in front of him. But when the light was turned on, he could see the area around him. The flat wasn't all that big looking. The living room was ordinary and he could see the dining room and kitchen from where he stood at the door. The living room was messy, with opened bags of chips on the couch, soda cans on the coffee table and takeout floor on the dining room table. Games could be seen scattered around on the living room floor as well as a few CD cases.

In fact it was so messy that Byakuya had the sudden urge to clean. However he knew he wasn't allowed to simple put down the bags and start cleaning. He didn't think the red head would take it so well.

"Come in, an' don't worry 'bout the shoes." Regardless of the red heads words however, Byakuya paused in the doorway and toed off his shoes, before following the human into his kitchen, setting down the bags.

The kitchen itself was just as messy and untidy as the living room. There were dishes and uneaten food sitting either on the counters or in the sink. Byakuya felt the shiver of his OCD need to keep things clean. However he tried to contain himself. The red head, who needed to have a lesson in keeping things clean, put down his several big bags of food and groaned when his arms were once again empty. He stretched and cracked his back with a sigh, and sagged against the counter before huffing and pulling out the food items.

For a moment Byakuya stood off to the side and remained silent while he watched the red head pull out the condiments. He was about ready to leave when he was once again caught in the rusted stare of his companion.

"Uhm, ya don't mind helpin do ya?" the red head asked. Byakuya nodded and was granted a brilliant smile from the man. Together they unpacked and the hybrid, following his human companion's instructions put away the non-refrigerated items into the cupboards. They didn't bump into each other, due to the rather spacious set up of the room. Byakuya was somewhat glad to be helping again, but it did drive a small pin threw him.

Once the food items were put away the two men stood in the kitchen and stared at each other.

The red head started conversation first. "So what's yer name?"

The hybrid paused before answering. "Byakuya Kuchiki."

The man smiled, "My names Renji. Renji Abarai." He then extended his hand out to the hybrid. When Byakuya shock his hand it was strong and firm.

"Pleasure to meet you." Again Renji smirked at Byakuya's speech. He really did find the hybrid funny. They released hands and Renji continued to stare. "So, you wanna stay for dinner or something?"

Byakuya was startled at the question asked. Why would Renji want him to stay for dinner? He was just a hybrid not to mention a stranger to the man. So why in heaven's name would he be asking him to stay for dinner?

Renji must have noticed the unsure look the hybrids was giving him because he suddenly started waving his hands in panic and was stuttering like a fool. "Oh my god, not like that I swear. Seriously, I just though that since ya helped me an' all I should you know repay ya or somethin'. I really didn't mean tuh sound like a creep. I-I mean I like guys an' all but, I didn't mean to- Aw hell, I'm sorry ok?"

Renji started to rub the back of his head in embarrassment, feeling stupid for stuttering. Byakuya had a full blown blush that was engulfing his whole face. He wasn't use to people saying things like that. Plus the red head was still looking at him in embarrassment when really Byakuya was the one who had made things awkward. He looked away and cleared his throat.

'It's alright, I didn't think that. I was simple surprised you would ask."

"Ahh."

An awkward silence fell, the first they had in fact since they had met. Byakuya couldn't help but fix his gaze on the floor in an attempt to avoid looking into Renji's eyes. He wasn't use to giving out his opinion to anyone other than Hisana. Even then he was careful not to say anything that might anger her.

"So, do ya wanna stay or do'ya got somewhere ta be?" Renji asked, still donning a blush. Byakuya looked at him briefly before looking back down at the ground.

"No I do not have somewhere to, be." Byakuya said somberly. He didn't know where he would be going now that he was homeless.

Renji frowned at the hybrid's tone. He sounded so confused and hurt. Like he was all alone in the world and -. Fuck that was it. He didn't have a home did he? That explained why he was sitting in the park earlier and why he was acting the way he was now. "Ya don't have a home do ya?"

Byakuya was shocked that Renji had figured it out so quickly. He made eye contact and nodded his head in shame, looking away to save some of his remaining pride. When Renji didn't say anything else, Byakuya figured he must be thinking about how pitiful he was. Not having a home or anything else for that matter.

"No." he whispered gently. There was no use denying it.

Renji frowned, so Byakuya didn't have a home. Fuck that wasn't right. Looking at the hybrid, Renji knew how upset he was and how lonely he looked. Renji didn't like to see the look on the hybrid's face. He rubbed the back of his head trying to think of something to make the other feel better but knew he didn't have anything that was even remotely helpful to say. It wasn't like he could ask the other if he wanted to live with him or anything.

Renji froze when the thought crossed his mind. Wait he could! He had the money and the space for the hybrid. There wasn't any reason why Byakuya couldn't live with him. It was a far better alternative than the man becoming a hooker or something. Plus it would be safer. Renji looked at the black hair hybrid. Now all he had to do was convince the other it was a good idea.

"Hay, you could live here." Renji watched the hybrid stiffen in shock and meet his eyes. "I hav' the room an' money ain't an issue or notin'. So ya could stay here fer a while if ya like. I don't mind."

He couldn't speak he was so shocked. Renji was being honest with him and offering him a place to stay. He hadn't thought the human would be so kind or generous towards him. He could only blink and nod his head. While he didn't know why the human had even offered him a place to stay, Byakuya knew that if he were to stay here he would be teaching the red head a thing or two about keeping a clean house. Renji only grinned when he timidly accepted, and Byakuya gave a small smile in response.

It had been a year since Byakuya had meet Renji and accepted his invitation to live with him. In that time, 0both the hybrid and the human had gotten to know each other and were good friends. While Byakuya was still rather cold and proper in his manners and demeanor; Renji was still able to interact with him without any problems and seemed to enjoy bickering with him on several occasions.

Since Byakuya had come to live with Renji, the apartment had been much cleaner. Renji now remembered to put his dishes in the sink if he was done and wasn't going to wash them instead of leaving them lying around like he used to. Byakuya had also managed to get the human male to put his clothes in his room and keep them there. Plus the house was being cleaned every second day. No more mysterious smelling couch to sit on.

Byakuya, with the help of Renji, had gotten a job as a waiter at a local restaurant. He only worked part time, but always came back to the apartment with generous tips. As a hybrid be attracted attention already, but Byakuya was also very good looking and had a natural way with dealing with people in a polite and civil manner that made him quite popular in a short span of time.

Renji himself was a frequent costumer at the restaurant and had brought several people with him as well. Since Byakuya had been living with the red head, he'd come to know that Renji was an automotive mechanic and worked for a man called Kenpachi Zaraki.

Byakuya didn't mind the large giant of a man and enjoyed looking after his daughters when they needed babysitting. Yachiru and Nelliel were the adoptive children of Kenpachi and his partner Mayuri. Byakuya felt a small shiver of fear go up his spine as he re-called the man who lived with Kenpachi. Mayuri wasn't bad per say, but he defiantly induced fear in others with his scientific talk and creepy way of looking at people like he wanted them to drop dead so he could dissect them. However he was finding it easier to be around the man with each meeting. Now he barely felt any fear. It also helped when Mayuri had surprisingly backed him up when a costumer had gotten angry because of a mix up in his order. Mayuri had the power to stop people with a single look. Byakuya himself was trying to copy that look. So far it had worked on Renji when the larger man had refused to put away his clean clothes.

Currently Byakuya was balancing three plates on his arms while walking through the restaurant avoiding the few children running around. He'd long since given up on stopping them from their games of tag. Now he simply tried to avoid walking into them.

"Here are your orders, enjoy your meal." He smiled at the little girl who waved back and giggled. Children were cute when they were little, but then they grew up and were little terrors. Nell and Yachiru were living proof of this statement. He cringed at the memory of the last time he and Renji had taken the girls for the night. He'd been forced to endure the embarrassment of having his hair braided and make up placed on his person. His only consolation was that Renji was subjected to this treatment as well.

"Speak of the devil." He whispered, Renji had just walked in the doors, looking tired and exhausted from the day's work. He nodded his head at Byakuya, who returned the gesture, and went to sit down in the hybrids section. When Byakuya got closer to the table Renji was seated at he could see just how tired Byakuya really was. Something was wrong.

"Are you alright?" he asked, concerned something bad had happened. People tended to harm themselves sometimes while working in the garage. In response Renji put his elbows on the table [Byakuya had to reframe from scolding him] and put his head in his hands.

"When's your brake?" Renji mumbled.

Byakuya frowned deeply, "I'm off in fifteen minutes. What's wrong Renji?"

"I'll tell you when yer off okay? Mind if we 'ave dinner here while we talk?"

Byakuya felt a chill of dread go up his spine. "Alright, you'll have your usual then?"

"Yeah, oh could I 'ave some coffee too?"

Byakuya nodded and wrote down Renji's order and walked into the kitchen. It was busy inside and Byakuya could hear the head chief yelling at her underlings. Hiyori was brutal socially, but she was a brilliant cook. Handing her both their orders, Byakuya picked up the finished ones for the other tables he was waiting on.

"Do I fucking look like yer slave Neco-chan!" Hiyori yelled after him. Oh how he detested that horrid nickname she'd come up with for him. Perhaps he shouldn't have corrected her on her speech.

"Here you are, I apologize for the wait." He was still worried about what Renji wanted to talk about, but he had a job to do right now, he couldn't afford to have any distractions.

When the end of his shift came, Byakuya clocked out, changed his clothes and picked up their dinner before walking back over to Renji, who was currently frowning at his cup of coffee like it was the source of all his problems. The red head was obviously stressed with his tense shoulders hunched over and tight. Byakuya cleared his throat.

Renji startled out of his thoughts and jerked where he sat. "Oh, hey done work already?"

Byakuya barely held in the urge to roll his eyes. "It was only ten minutes, Renji."

The man looked down sheepishly and moved so Byakuya could place the plates down on the table. He stayed silent even after Byakuya sat down, instead twiddling his thumbs in thought. Several times he tried to open his mouth to speak but each time no sound came out. Finally Byakuya intervened.

"Eat your food, Renji. You can tell me after we eat. You look hungry; did you not eat the lunch I packed for you?" Byakuya asked, raising his eyebrow already knowing the answer he would get. After knowing Renji for the length of time that he had, it had become apparent that when the man was stressed, he wouldn't eat. Thankfully it didn't happen often, but Byakuya needed to go to the market more often than he needed to.

Renji rubbed the back of his head, not looking at the hybrid. "Uhm, naw, I wasn't hungry."

Again the urge to roll his eyes, Byakuya only shook his head and began eating his pasta. Renji too, started eating his steak and potatoes, although he did so without his usual enthusiasm. What could be troubling the man?

They eat in silence that was only cut when they both had finished their food. Renji cleared his throat and shifted in the booth. Byakuya himself braced himself for the bad news that Renji was no doubt going to bestow upon him. Maybe he was no longer welcome to live with the red head.

"Okay so ya know my boss an' Mayuri right?"

That was a stupid question to ask, but Byakuya would play along. "Yes Renji, I do." Well, a little sarcasm never hurt, but Renji just rolled his eyes at him. Thankfully he relaxed in the process.

"Smart ass, anyway, They kinda got into a row, and well-" Renji broke off and began looking rather uncomfortable.

"They had a fight." Byakuya stated, hoping this would help his companion to finish. He really didn't like getting only half of the story, and this one sounded important.

"Well, they got into a fight 'cause Kenpachi…..he cheated on Mayuri, with a woman."

Byakuya was stunned. He was aware of the many fights the giant man and Mayuri got into, having witnessed a few themselves, but never about cheating. Kenpachi loved his partner too much to cheat on him, and Mayuri saw cheating to be below him. This was defiantly not what he was expecting to talk about with Renji.

"I'm stunned."

Renji smirked, "Yeah, I was too. They argued this morning at the office, we all kinda heard it. Anyway they split up and Mayuri needs a place to stay."

Renji looked back up at the hybrid. Byakuya didn't understand what the problem was with that. "Then he may stay with us, correct?"

"Well yeah, but he 'as the girls and …look I wouldn't be askin' if there was another choice, but they need a place to stay where the girls are confortable and Mayuri can think 'bout what happened. I only 'ave one other bedroom, and that's yours-"

Oh, now he saw where Renji was going with this. It was true though. There was only one extra bedroom, his room. If Mayuri and the girls were to stay for an extended period of time then they would need a room to stay in then. He could deal with sleeping on the couch for a while he supposed. The only thing he would need to really move was a few of his possessions he'd recently acquired and his clothes to another closet. Other than that he saw no reason to fuss over having them staying.

Judging by the look on Renji's face, he'd been thinking for a long time and the red head was obviously thinking he was going to say no. Foolish man.

"I see no problem with giving them my room; I would only need to move a few of my things and my clothes. I have no problem with sleeping on the couch."

"Really! Ya'd be okay with that?" Renji exclaimed.

This time Byakuya did roll his eyes. "Of course, I understand where Mayuri is coming from. Having a person you love most betray you is something that can take a long time to heal."

Renji froze when Byakuya said that. He'd almost forgotten what had caused the pale hybrid to come live with him. He nodded his head in understanding. This all worked out perfectly, Mayuri and the girls could have the bedroom and Byakuya would sleep on the-. Wait a fucking second.

"Yer not sleeping on the couch!"

"I see no other place where I can sleep." Byakuya replied.

Renji closed his mouth at that. True. After thinking for a few seconds, he came up with a solution. There was no reason Byakuya should be forced to sleep on the couch. His bed was a king and the was more than enough room for two people to sleep on it. Sure he was attracted to the male in front of him, how could anyone not be? His dark hair looked like silk and shone like onyx in the light. Byakuya's smoky grey eyes always seemed to beckon people towards him, speaking of hidden secrets that lay beneath them. His slim muscular figure was enticing and sexy. However, even though he was sexually attracted to the other male, he wouldn't take advantage of him. He would never stoop that low as to have an unwilling partner.

"Ya can' sleep in my room. Ma' beds big enough fer two people to sleep on and I 'ave extra closet space too." He didn't have that many clothes in his closet. Most of them were located in his dresser anyways. He'd just have to empty out one for Byakuya.

Byakuya was silent. He didn't even think to mention that, nor ask. Renji truly was a saint. A messy one though, and he needed lessons on how to speak properly but still, a saint. "I suppose that could work."

Renji beamed, happy his idea was met with no complaints like he knew would have been voiced a year ago. "Cool, I just need to call Mayuri an' tell him."

When the blue haired man and his adoptive daughters did arrive at their house that evening, Byakuya was suddenly very glad he had consented to them living with him and Renji. The poor man looked distraught and on his last thin line of sanity. Byakuya himself knew how Mayuri was feeling, but that didn't lessen the sting his memories provided. The girls, thankfully seemed unaware of what was happening, thinking that their house needed work done on it to make it livable again. It was half true, Mayuri and Kenpachi's home did need some electrical work done, as well as some pluming.

It was a weak story, but the girls didn't know any better. Nell and Yachiru thought Kenpachi was helping, and that they were sleeping over until the house was finished. Byakuya was glad for their child minds. They would remain ignorant as to what was really happening.

"Uncle Byakuya." Looking down from were he stood in the kitchen, he could see Nell, but not her face. She was looking down at the floor rather than up at him.

"Yes Nell, do you need something?" He asked hoping the little girl would tell him what was wrong.

She didn't reply right away, appearing to be thinking about what she was going to say. "Did Papa leave Daddy?"

Then again, children were more perceptive that he gave them credit for. He knew she was talking about Kenpachi and Mayuri. Kenpachi was called Papa, and Mayuri Daddy since the blue haired male spent the most time with the little girls. Though they attended school, and were in grade one, Mayuri still was the one to get them from school and bring them home with him. Byakuya had heard from Renji that Mayuri and Kenpachi had had many fights about who would work part time once the girls arrived.

A couple of times, Kenpachi had been sleeping on their couch since he'd been banished from the house. If Byakuya was honest he was a little terrified of Kenpachi. Thankfully, Mayuri had managed to find dependable lad assistants who would be able to watch over his lab while he was away. They knew how Mayuri worked and didn't require him to look after them. If they needed help all they needed to do was call him or talk with him over his lap top, which was currently sitting on the coffee table.

"Why do you ask Nell?" He really hoped he wouldn't have to be the one to tell her.

"Well, Daddy's sad and I heard Papa saying mean things to him while we were packing our toys. Daddy was crying in the car too." It seemed that as soon as she remembered Mayuri had been crying she started crying as well. "Are they no longer gonna live together? Are we gonna have to move away?"

Nell was bawling by the time she stopped talking and was trying to whip away her tears with her still chubby hands. Byakuya kneeled down next to the small girl and wrapped his arms around her, pulling the crying child into his arms like he'd seen Renji do. His shirt would get wet, but she needed someone to hold her.

"Shh, it's okay Nell. I'm sure your parents will be fine in a few days. You'll be moving back into your rooms in no time." Despite his words Nell continued to cry into his shirt and cling desperately to him. He honestly didn't know what to say or do in this situation. He wasn't all that good with children, so when Renji rounded the corner, Byakuya sighed in relief. Perhaps he will be able to calm down the little girl better.

A flash of worry passed over Renji's face before it was replaced with understanding.

"Heya Nell, yer dad needs ya to get ready fer bed okay?"

Nell looked up from Byakuya's tear stained shirt and nodded. She sniffed a few more times before walking away from Byakuya's arms, but before she followed after Renji, Nell gave Byakuya one last hug. Renji smiled at the little girl who held the proud hybrid. The little girl stroked Byakuya's tail as it passed her by, giggling when it flicked her back. Renji only shook his head.

Byakuya went back to cleaning the kitchen from dinner now that Nell was getting ready for bed. He knew Renji would be helping Mayuri put the girls to bed, leaving him to clean up after the mess that was called the kitchen. The girls would occasionally throw their food at each other, thou he'd brought that particular habit down to a minimum. He wasn't going to allow himself to be caught in the crossfire, thank you very much. Mayuri hadn't really been all that helpful when it came to stopping the girls from their bad habits, but that was understandable given the circumstances.

Once the kitchen was back to its perfectly clean condition, and everything was in its rightful place, Byakuya walked towards the bedrooms, drawn by laughter and Renji's deep voice. Looking around the doorframe, he could see Renji and Mayuri tucking the girl's into the large queen bed. Mayuri still looked as though he wanted to crawl into a deep and dark hole, but he still put on a smile for his daughters: kissing them good night.

Renji walked out of the room just as Mayuri pulled out a book at the last second to read to Nell and Yachiru as the girl's squealed. Byakuya gave a soft smile and followed Renji down the hall when the red head man beckoned him to follow with a jerk of his head.

"How is Mayuri?" he asked sitting down beside Renji after the man had flopped onto the couch.

"I think he'll be okay, but I ain't great with seeing what people 're thinkin'. All I know is that he's hurtin, an' I can't do a thing 'bout it." Renji huffed out an angry breath and sunk lower in his seat. The man was obviously upset about the turn of events and Byakuya couldn't blame him. He too, was angry about what Kenpachi had done, even if the man had been drunk, it was no excuse for cheating on his lover and partner.

"Fuck." Renji hunched over, putting his elbows on his knees and grabbing at his head in frustration. "Why would boss do somethin' like tha'? Mayuri loves em, and I know boss care for em' deeply too, so why?" Byakuya shook his head.

"There is no point stressing yourself over this Renji. It is not our place to say anything. All we can do is be there for Mayuri and help him look after Nell and Yachiru."

"Yeah I know, but still." Renji's voice was still angry, but it was softer than before. Byakuya could see the stress in his shoulders. If this obsessing continued, Renji would be up all night thinking about it. Time to rectify that. Standing up from his seat, Byakuya walked around the couch until he was behind Renji with his back facing him.

"Renji, lean back." He commanded, rolling up the sleeves of his white dress shirt.

"Wha-?" Renji looked behind him, confused, but obeyed his dark hair companion none the less. Byakuya waited until Renji's back was flush with the couch before placing his hands on the larger man's shoulders. A deep groan sounded from Renji's throat when he dug his thumbs into the tense muscles of Renji's shoulders. He was far more tense than Byakuya had assumed.

Renji was in heaven. Byakuya's hands were sinful, digging in just the right places to be both pleasurable and hurtful. It had been ages since he's gotten a back rub. His last lover had indulged him a couple of times. Byakuya's hands were warm against him, and the pressure felt good. Slowly he could feel himself starting to relax with the hybrid's hands guiding him.

Byakuya's sharp hearing picked up each and every groan that Renji let escape his throat and even when he held them in, Byakuya's enhanced hearing could still pick them up. His ears were swiveled forward and erect to help him pick up Renji's groaning voice better. Obviously this man needed to have a back rub more often. Too much stress in his life had cause for his back and shoulder's to be unusually tight. Perhaps he should give back rubs to Renji more often.

"A little lower." Renji grunted leaning forward to give the hybrid more room to work and sighing in pleasure at having that particular not in his back pressed into and soothed out. The warm hands moved lower on his back, gaining grunts and groans of pleasure from Renji with each push from Byakuya. He should ask the hybrid to do this more often. It was working wonders on his stressed muscles.

"Were'd ya learn this?" He groaned out threw clenched teeth when Byakuya started to rub out another tight muscle. For a moment those magic hand paused from where they pressed into his back, but were back a moment later with just as much pressure. Byakuya didn't answer right away, letting the silence continue while he worked Renji's back muscles.

"Hisana, my old—owner demanded that I learn for when she required a back rub after a long day. I'm just as able as any other masseuse." Renji winced as Byakuya pressed hard on his back, damn that one hurt like a bitch.

"Sorry.' He mumbled.

Byakuya only hummed as he went over Renji's back once more, looking for any missed spots, before gently rubbing his hands over the large mass of muscles concealed by Renji's grey long sleeved shirt. He allowed his hands to remain on Renji's shoulders though, reluctant to cut the contact between them. Renji was unusually warm for a human.

"Are you more relaxed now?" He asked, slightly rubbing Renji's shoulders, gently willing all the man's stress away.

"Yeah, thanks. I feel a lot better now" Renji rolled his back and shoulders, not dislodging Byakuya's hands, instead sighing as they remained. He smirked at a stray thought. "You'll make a good wife someday."

There was no stopping the flaming blush that enveloped his face, burning with embarrassment at Renji's snarky comment. "I will not." He protested.

"Ha-ha, sure ya will. Yer good at cleanin, washin clothes. Ya cook like a god, and ya know how to make somebody feel better. I'd say you'd make the perfect little wife." Renji teased, looking over his shoulder at his blushing companion. He loved getting a rise out of the hybrid. He watched as anger surged in those steal grey eyes, and those black ears flatten against Byakuya's skull as he flacked his hands and dug in his claws. The sting made Renji laugh.

Byakuya couldn't believe the audacity of this man. How dare he call him a 'perfect little wife'? There was no way in hell he would allow someone to have say over him the way a wife did. Only Hisana had come close to that, and she had abused her power then thrown him away like a used rag. No, no one would ever hold that kind of power over him again.

"Silence." He hissed when Renji continued chuckling. "I will not be anyone's wife."

Renji hissed when Byakuya dug in his claws deeper. Okay that did hurt. "You'll just be mine then?"

Byakuya halted in his 'punishment', of the human who teased him. Renji couldn't possible mean what he was implying. There was no way this human could mean his words.

"What?" Renji asked, a small smile on his tattooed face. "Don't wanna be my 'little wife' anymore?"

Byakuya frowned, his ears coming forward in defense as his tail fur bristled. This man-

"I'm not your 'wife' Renji. Nor will I ever be such a thing." He scoffed in distain. Just as he was lifting his hands from where they had laid on Renji's shoulders, a calloused hand grasped his wrist, gently but firmly.

Renji's face softened. "That's not what I meant, an' you know it. You ain't a wife to me Byakuya."

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and just what I'm I to you then Renji?"

The read haired man chuckled, pulling Byakuya's wrist closer to him. He leaned in and placed a small kiss to the pale skin of the hybrid, staying a moment to take in the smell of the other, before releasing him. He looked up into surprised grey eyes. "Someone I care about and deeply trust."

Curious, Byakuya thought. Apparently Renji was able to talk properly. He didn't know what to think about the man's words however. Renji cares about me? Trusts me even. He wasn't expecting Renji to be so truthful towards him. They may have lived with one another for a year now. It wasn't like everything had been sunshine and roses. They had had their share of fights about meaningless matters that could have been avoided. How Renji was able to trust him as much as he was claiming to scared Byakuya. He did trust Renji, but to a point. However, perhaps he should open himself to this human and learn to trust him just as much.

"I-I, Renji, I don't, sigh, I just-." Byakuya scolded himself. Now he couldn't even form words it appeared.

Renji just smiled. "You don't have to answer Byakuya. I know it'll take you some time for me to have your trust. I'm okay with that. I won't disappoint you, I promise."

Byakuya could only nod in response.

"Come on, I have to get up early tomorrow, an' I'll need a good sleep. Ya comin' with?" Renji asked, standing and offering Byakuya a hand.

Byakuya rolled his eye. And the improper speech is back. I knew it was too god to be true. She shook hi head. "I'll be along in a moment."

"Gotcha'." Renji left the room, walking back down to the hallway to their now shared bedroom. For how long he didn't know.

Byakuya sighed, leaning against the couch for support. He had a lot to think about.

"He isn't lying to you." Byakuya sharply looked behind him to see Mayuri seemingly appear from the shadows.

"What do you mean?"

Mayuri jerked his chin in the direction of the hallway. "Renji. He wasn't lying when he said he trusted you."

"How do you know?" Byakuya asked. Just what did Mayuri know?

Mayuri smirked at the hybrid. "He doesn't usually allow others to touch him like you just did. He's very cautious of who he lets near him."

Mayuri walked into the room and sat down in one of the recliners. He gestured for Byakuya to do the same. After getting comfortable, Mayuri continued.

"When I first met him, Renji had been dating a man called Shuhei Hisagi for two year prior. I didn't know the man personally, but I did know Renji cared deeply for him. This was years later. K-Ken-, he and I had already been together for almost sixteen years." Byakuya could tell that even Kenpachi's name seemed to be hard for Mayuri to say. Byakuya still felt a sting when he mentioned Hisana himself. "Anyway, Shuhei ended up having an affair with another man-"

"What?" Byakuya exclaimed. "Renji was with another male?"

Mayuri sighed impatiently. "Yes, he leans more towards men. Always has as I'm told. Does this bother you?"

"No, it doesn't. I am merely surprised."

"May I finish now?" and that was part of the reason, Byakuya found Mayuri to be annoying at times. The man was occasionally arrogant, but Renji said that came from Mayuri being a genius and dealing with people less than his current, intellectual, level.

"Yes." Byakuya sighed.

Mayuri smirked. "Anyway, Shuhei cheated with another man called Kensei Muguruma. Renji found out about Shuhei's less than truthful interactions with Kensei, who he told Renji was just a friend. They broke up after Renji and Muguruma fought, which resulted in wounds I was forced to clean." Mayuri huffed out, but Byakuya could see the pride in his eyes as he talked, "Shuhei left Renji for that trash Muguruma and Renji became distant afterwards. Even after Yachiru and Nell entered his life, he was cautious of them. I suppose it was due to the betrayal Shuhei branded into his brain and memories."

Mayuri's voice grew bitter, and Byakuya could see it wasn't just Renji he was talking about anymore.

"I see." Byakuya glanced at Mayuri's face, seeing the pain and betrayal reflected there. "Will you ever trust him again?"

Mayuri sucked in a breath through clenched teeth. He swallowed and wetted his lips. "I- I don't know yet. With time perhaps, but that could take a very long time. He's never acted like he has before."

Mayuri's voice was soft. Like a wounded animal seeking answers.

"Would you like to talk about it?" he asked, not really expecting Mayuri to answer. Yet the blue haired man nodded.

"He was so angry when he told me. I've never seen him like that before. Not even when we fought, he was frightening, and to be truthful I was afraid. He's never hit me before you see." Mayuri gulped in more air. "But for a moment, I thought he just might."

Byakuya was silent. He'd never seen Kenpachi hit anyone, intimidate them maybe, but never raise a hand against anyone. Mayuri was continuing.

"When we were in high school, he use to protect me from others. They use to bully me due to my appearance. It was never my fault my mother had dangerous chemicals spilled in her drink while she was pregnant with me. Yet they still ganged up on me. He stopped all the humiliation, protecting me. Never leaving me alone, constantly following me everywhere. It went on for two and a half years before I kissed him."

Byakuya must have shown his shock, because Mayuri laugh at him. "Yes I was the one to kiss him. It was during the summer. My parents had gone on vacation while I choose to stay home. He'd been sleeping over since I'd come to accept him in my life. We were watching some silly movie he'd brought over when I leaned over and kissed him. At first I thought I would be on the receiving end of his fist for once, but he simply turned silent and stone like. We didn't talk for the rest of the movie, but that night he crawled into my bed and returned my previous kiss with such passion."

Mayuri had a faraway look on his face and Byakuya could see the love and adoration Mayuri felt for his lover.

"He demanded I be his boyfriend the next morning and he even told my parents that I was his boyfriend. Surprisingly they accepted him in my life easily. They were used to him and his behavior by then I suppose. When school started up again, it was our senior year, he declared his feelings for me by staking his claim and kissing me in front of the student body. The rumors were entertaining, as were the administrations attempts to separate us by informing our parents. His didn't care and mine stated they approved. After that all we suffered were the occasionally rude comments and rumors. We took each other virginity that winter while my parents were at a Christmas trip with their friends."

Mayuri had a delicate blush on his face as he spoke. He looked so lost yet happy in his memories of their first time together. Byakuya himself was a virgin, he was curious about what sex was between two men, but knew now was not the time to ask. Mayuri cleared his throat.

"We moved in together after high school. I went to collage while he took online courses in business management to get a degree to open up his own shop. When he opened the shop, I helped him look for employees and gave him customers from both my collage classmates, and later my colleagues. I met Renji ten years later when he came looking for a job. I interviewed him, but he made the final decision to hire Renji. A year later the drama with Shuhei happened. After six months, we decided we wanted children, so we started looking into adopting. We met with several mothers who didn't want their children. I ended up meting a teen mother who was looking to give up her child to finish school and become a lawyer. She knew she wouldn't be able to give her child a proper life and I made the decision to adopt her unborn child. Nell's mother would live with us for some time until her birth."

"Funny enough he met with a different woman while I was at work and Yachiru's mother was also going to be joining us. Since we couldn't just turn either woman away once we realized our mistake, we adopted both babies. It was hell those months until the women went into labor. Pure hell, but worth it in the end. We named the girls and took them home while their mothers left numbers we could contact them with. They still have visitation rights but choose not to see the girls. However they have stated that when the girls are older and wish to met them they can."

Mayuri looked over at Byakuya, silent in his thoughts.

"When Renji told us that he'd taken in a hybrid and was going to allow the man to stay with him: I almost hit the idiot. That is until I met you. Surprisingly you are able to make that fool down the hall clean up his depressing act, continue his schooling and finally get some form of balance back into his life. He's more open now. He really does care for you Byakuya."

For the first time in a while, Byakuya spoke. "I understand. However it will take me some time before I can come to trust him fully. I'm sorry."

Mayuri only chuckled. "Don't be, he will wait for you."

Before Byakuya could reply, Mayuri had stood and began walking down the hall, but turned around at the last second. "Thank you for listening, I needed that."

Byakuya nodded, and watched as Mayuri disappeared down the hall.

Now he knew how Kenpachi and Mayuri met and become a couple, as well as part of Renji's story. His red head companion appeared to be fairly scarred himself. Maybe they did have hope together. Not that he would roll over and become a 'good little wife' should that happen. He did have his pride after all. Renji would still be an idiot to him no matter how much he came to care for him.

And, he thought as he walked towards his and Renji's room, now I know who to go to for information on how men have sex should Renji and I become a couple.

When he came out of the bathroom ready for bed, Renji was already in bed and appeared to be asleep. When he pulled back the covers on his side and got under the sheets, Renji rolled over onto his side facing him. For a moment they stared into each other's eyes.

"Mayuri tell ya?"

"Yes, he told me part of the story between you and your past-lover. He also told me of his and Kenpachi's history. It's beautiful, I think. How could Kenpachi do something like cheat on the man who's been with him for so long?"

Renji shrugged. "Who knows why people betray the one's they love. All I know is that Kenpachi's an' idiot who's gonna get the cold shoulder for a while."

He smirked. "I take it you disapprove of how he has acted lately." He asked sarcastically.

Renji snorted and glared at the wall passed his shoulder. "What was yer first clue?"

"He will come to his senses and when he does we will make it difficult for him to forget what he has done. I know very well how to make him suffer. I won't allow him to simply ask Mayuri for forgiveness. He may see the girls but will need to court Mayuri properly before I allow for Kenpachi to take Mayuri back with him."

"Wow, protective much."

He raised an eyebrow. "And you are not?"

"Oh, I am too." Renji snorted, "But I'll let you deal out his punishment instead. Its much better than anything I could have come up with. Besides-"

Renji shifter closer, until they shared they shared the same breath. Byakuya's heart stuttered in his chest and his eyes lowered to Renji's lips as they ghosted over his in a mock kiss. "Kenpachi needs to realize how deeply he hurt Mayuri. It isn't somethin' that can go away with a 'I'm sorry'."

Renji's breath fanned over his face, and Byakuya couldn't move from where he lay. Renji was all he could focus on, his intense hearing picking up on Renji's breaths as he breathed deeply through his nose. Renji didn't close the space between them, but lowered his head to his shoulder and breathed in deeply before backing off and lying back down on his side.

Byakuya listened to Renji breath as they lay side by side, and rolled over into Renji's side when he was sure the human would least expect it. Renji startled, but didn't comment or move away and for that Byakuya was grateful. He may not love this human, but he could learn to, with time.

And this is the end of this fan fiction, pretty great huh?

Just kidding, don't kill me. I wouldn't leave it here, but it would make a good ending huh? How'd you all like Mayuri and Kenpachi's history? At some point in life I may write a fan fiction for them about their history together, but that could be a long while in the future.

Any way one with the rest of the story. XD Enjoy.

A knock on the door made Byakuya pause in his cutting of the vegetables in front of him. He looked at the clock and smiled. It was five thirty, which meant Kenpachi was here to get Mayuri for their date.

It had only been seven months since Kenpachi cheated on Mayuri and they were just getting serious again. Mayuri would usually go out with Kenpachi and come back sometime in the morning or afternoon sometimes. He didn't think Kenpachi deserved to have Mayuri at his side, but he promised Mayuri he wouldn't get involved anymore. For the past six and a half months he'd been the barrier between the two, stopping Kenpachi from getting closer to Mayuri until he deemed it okay.

Mayuri had asked him to stop three weeks ago once afternoon, when they had gone out to buy more food while Renji baby-sat. He wanted to try and get closer with his once lover, and maybe continue where they had left off. Byakuya could see how much his blue haired friend wanted to be with the giant man and had promised to stop his intervening in their 'love life'.

Renji walked past the kitchen with a smirk and went to open the door. Byakuya could hear them talking with one another from where he stood, but didn't hear what they were saying when Mayuri walked into the kitchen with a worried look on his face.

"Do I look alright?" he asked, gesturing to his clothes and shifting from one foot to the other as he waited.

Byakuya looked over what he was wearing. A dark green suit with a navy blue dress shirt the shade of his hair and the purple tie that was messy.

"Besides the tie, you look debonair. Much too good for Kenpachi." He said, dropping the knife and walking over to Mayuri to straighten his tie out. Really this man needed to be taught how to tie a tie properly, he thought, re-tying the purple silk.

"Arg- this stupid thing infuriates me. I hate these damned things. They are no use what-so-ever." He groused, leaning his heads back so Byakuya could fix it himself.

"It completes the outfit Mayuri." He said as he finished, smoothing out the tie. "There now you are ready. Where is he taking you by the way?"

Mayuri shrugged, 'I have no idea, he only said to dress formally tonight."

Byakuya watched as Mayuri checked over himself once more, making sure everything was perfect. "Are you sure you can watch the girls tonight?"

"Of course Mayuri, we have before."

Mayuri smirked and waggled his eyebrows. "Without any illicit displays of affection?"

Byakuya couldn't stop the blush that burned his checks. In the past seven months, he and Renji had become closer, a couple now officially. They had done nothing more that kiss and cuddle in bed, though he would deny such a thing when asked. Renji had yet to press him for more, and Byakuya was happy they they could share their mutual feelings for one another without actually having sex yet. He didn't feel like he was ready for such acts yet. He still could barely deal with Renji's morning erections that were pressed into him before the man woke fully.

"J-just, be gone with you! You know we won't." He hissed, the fur on his tail rising while his ears flattened. "I wouldn't allow Renji to do such things like that in front of the girls."

Mayuri cackled and walked away.

That infuriating man. How dare he think those things? Renji and he haven't even see each other naked yet. Byakuya took out his frustrations on the food in front of him, savagely cutting into them and putting them in the pot on the stove, moving on to the meat already cooking in a pan.

"Wow, Mayuri say something?" Renji's voice teased lightly from behind him.

"He suggested we would expose the girls to displays of affection. I would not allow such a thing to happen." Byakuya hissed.

Renji chuckled and walked forwards until he was directly behind the man he'd come to love. "Why not? Kissing should be fine, and we can hold each other without them asking questions."

"I think not, Renji. I refuse to have to explain to Yachiru and Nell about the 'birds and the bees'. That is one discussion I will not be having with either of them."

However, Byakuya didn't object to Renji winding his thick arms around his torso and resting his chin on his shoulder while he cooked. Renji chuckled and tightened his hold, inhaling the hybrid's scent. He was using that cherry blossom shampoo again. His hair smelled like the flower his love adored so much. Renji had even come home with a miniature cherry blossom tree for him. He'd asked and begged Mayuri to make a smaller version of the tree.

"When's dinner gonna be done?" he asked, still nuzzling Byakuya's neck.

"In a few minutes I believe. You should get the girls washed up. I'll set the table."

"Gotcha'." Renji said. He released Byakuya and made his way down the hallway into what use to be the hybrid's bedroom. Inside, Yachiru and Nell were playing Barbie and were doing their dolls hair. Renji knew from experience that the girls were good at braiding. Both he and Byakuya had had their hair braided before by the two tiny girls.

"Hey ladies. Time to wash up." Renji watched as they squealed in surprise. He loved doing that.

"Uncle! That was mean!" Yachiru shouted, running towards him and hugging his legs while scowling up at him.

"Yeah, not nice." Nell said, pouting cutely.

Renji chuckled, "Okay you terrors, let's get you washed up, dinners done."

Before nine o'clock rolled around, Byakuya had given the girls a bath, brushed their hair and was waiting for them to pick out a bed time story for Renji to read to them. He could hear Renji finishing cleaning up the kitchen from dinner and impromptu desert.

"Beauty and the Beast!" Nell shouted, with Yachiru clapping her hands next to her sister.

"Alright, calm down or you won't get a bed time story." He threatened, pulling the book from the small shelf above the dresser.

"What!" the girls said, looking at him with horror.

"He's kidin' ladies." Renji said, walking into the room and taking the book Byakuya handed him. "I wouldn't let the mean old hybrid take away from yer story time. Promise'."

Byakuya shook his head and left the room as Renji began reading from the chosen book. Now he had time to get ready for bed himself. He wouldn't need a shower, as Nell and Yachiru had gotten him wet with their bath water. No point in that.

He undressed and pulled on a loose pair of pants and a shirt. However the shirt was too big on him, falling down his frame at the shoulder, exposing it to the air. Looking down, he realized he was wearing one of Renji's nigh shirts. Shrugging he placed his dirty clothes into the hamper and pulled back the covers on the bed. He walked into the small bathroom that was connected to the main bedroom and picked up his brush. While brushing his hair he thought about Renji and his relationship.

They'd only kissed and cuddled since they'd become a couple, but Byakuya found himself suddenly wanting more form his partner. Perhaps it had something to do with what Mayuri had said earlier, but he knew that he wanted more than kissing and cuddling. For some time now, he'd been feeling the same arousal as Renji in the mornings, and it was hard to keep taking care of it himself. He'd heard Renji doing so in the shower once while he'd been getting dressed. The human had called out his name softly and had been panting while giving soft groans of pleasure.

Putting the brush back down, Byakuya entered the bedroom again only to run into Renji in the doorway.

"Oof." He said, stumbling slightly while Renji's arms caught him around his waist.

"Sorry, thought ya saw me." Renji said sheepishly. Byakuya looked up at the man about to scold him when he noticed the blush on Renji's face. His maroon colored eyes were fixated on his exposed shoulder and Byakuya could hear Renji's breathing and heart rate spike as a subtle musk of arousal hit his nose.

"Uhm, I-I just need in the bathroom, to-uhg-shower." Renji stuttered out still looking at Byakuya's shoulder.

He smirked; maybe he could use this to his advantage to get Renji to touch him. "Very well."

He quickly stepped out of Renji's loose embrace and walked over to the bed. He raised one leg and placed it on the bed before looking back over his shoulder to the human standing in a stupor by the door.

"Be quick about it, Renji." He husked out. He heard Renji suck in a breath threw his teeth and the abrupt sound of him grabbing a change of clothes before shutting the door to the bathroom.

While Renji showered, Byakuya thought about how he would instigate intimacy between them: it wouldn't be hard, knowing Renji. If just exposing some of his skin aroused him, then surely he wouldn't have any trouble arousing Renji and hinting what he wanted.

The shower shut off and Byakuya could hear Renji drying off and putting on his night clothes. He didn't have to wait long for Renji to emerge from the steamy bathroom, clothed in a white shirt like the one he wore and black sweat pants. He was toweling his long red hair as he walked around to his side of the bed and sat down. They didn't say anything, but Byakuya pulled the covers away from himself to move to where Renji was sitting. He took the towel from Renji's long fingers and took to drying the crimson locks himself.

He applied pressure to Renji's scalp when the hair was dry enough for him to fall asleep without wetting the pillow. He knew Renji liked his head massaged just as much as he liked his back rubbed. Speaking of which, he thought.

Renji groaned softly when Byakuya pressed into his back, rubbing at the hard muscles that moved as he massaged them. He started at the shoulders and moved down slowly, loving each noise Renji let out. His tail was swaying contently behind him while he worked out the kinks in Renji's broad back. When he arrived at the flesh above Renji's pants line however, Renji suddenly stood up from where he had slouched on the bed.

He grabbed the towel and tossed it into the hamper and locked his eyes with Byakuya's own grey ones. Byakuya swallowed thickly at the lust in those maroon eyes, shivering when Renji towered over him. He trusted Renji not to abuse that power he held.

Renji said nothing as he crawled back onto the bed, not looking away from Byakuya's eyes as he moved closer to him. Byakuya leaned back as Renji moved forward, until his back was flush with the mattresses and Renji was crouched over him.

"You sure Byakuya?" was the gentle question.

"Yes." Renji closed his eyes briefly before re-opening them and lowering himself over Byakuya.

His heart was pounding as Renji came closer, he knew Renji would feel it once they joined chests, but he couldn't slow down his breathing or his heart rate. Anticipation had him shivering slightly. Renji finally rested on top of him and Byakuya shivered at the heat he felt from the other. This time it was different, he could feel Renji's arousal against him and he didn't shy away from the contact like he usually did. Instead he returned the arousal with his own.

Renji had been careful to note where Byakuya's vulnerable tail was before resting his weight against him. He'd crushed the tail under him before and wasn't looking forward to a repeat of Byakuya's scolding again. He didn't want to hurt the other.

He felt the tremors Byakuya had, but didn't stop from leaning down to kiss him. Byakuya's lips were full and soft against his own, wet with saliva that Byakuya had wet them with when his tongue had run over them. He closed his eyes and shifted his head to the side to press deeper against the other. A soft groan sounded from Byakuya's closed mouth and Renji wanted to put his tongue into that moist orifice.

He briefly pulled away to speak, "Open your mouth."

Byakuya sighed at Renji's soft command, obeying with a moan when Renji's hot tongue entered his mouth, immediately tangling with his own. When Reni had first French kissed him, Byakuya had been hesitant, but now he pushed back against Renji's probing tongue. A hand in his hair distracted Byakuya from the lip lock enough for him to gasp.

Renji grinned against his lips and pulled away, "How far are we doin' this?"

Byakuya shifted from where he lay, "I'm not ready to-I think just a little-"

Renji kissed him again before he could finish. "I understand, touching maybe some petting but nothing else?"

Byakuya nodded.

"Gotcha'."

"R-Renji!" he moaned out into the bedroom. Renji grunted and rocked back against him. Renji was between Byakuya's thighs and rutting against him as he ran his fingers over Byakuya's nipples threw the too big shirt he wore. They hadn't taken off their clothes, so far only petting and rutting through the material.

"Shit. Byakuya, I'm sorry." Renji panted out, stopping his ministrations and pulling away from Byakuya's exposed shoulder and neck. "I'm going too far aren't I?"

Byakuya huffed and lifted his hips off the mattress, running his hands down Renji's back. "N-no it's all fine. I don't mind this."

"Y-you sure?" Renji grunted as Byakuya rubbed their cores together, gasping at the pleasure he felt.

Byakuya pulled Renji's head back down for a deep kiss, running his fingers through the red hair framing his and Renji's face. It was one of those times it wasn't pulled back into a pony tail and bandana. He hooked a leg over Renji's just below his ass as Renji harshly ground into him.

"Renji!" he cried softly. They couldn't be too loud. Nell and Yachiru might hear. He clung to the human as a hand rubbed at his ears and scalp, hips rutting together desperately.

Renji growled into Byakuya's neck, he was so hard right now. Byakuya wasn't making it any easier either. He was gasping out and giving soft cries that made Renji want to forgo keeping their clothes on and just suck Byakuya into his mouth. But as much as he wanted to give the hybrid pleasure, he wanted to honor the dark haired males request more. He wouldn't do anything Byakuya didn't want.

Byakuya clung to Renji's shoulders as they rutted together, shifting his legs wider so Renji could come closer to him and grind harder. He wanted to cum, but couldn't yet. It wasn't enough for him to. Byakuya could only hold on as Renji directed where their dance went. He couldn't hold back his vocalization of his pleasure when Renji placed a hand on his thigh and grip it hard. He gasped at Renji lifter the leg not curled around his ass higher up in the air, holding it there as he grinded against the hybrid.

Renji gritted his teeth, holding the leg up and pressing against the other. They were both close, there was no doubt. They'd been going at it for at least an hour now, and Renji was reaching his end. He needed to end this soon, or they'd be going farther than discussed.

He grunted and licked at the neck in front of him, pressing the body beneath him deep into the bed. Byakuya shuddered against him and keened softly when he bit softly at the pale neck. He rolled his hips in small circles against Byakuya's erection, moving the hand that had been petting the soft ears back to Byakuya's chest to rub those hard nipples through the fabric of the borrowed shirt.

Byakuya's cries changed pitch and Renji started seeing white in his vision. He jabbed his erection into Byakuya's with small, hard thrusts that brought them both closer to the edge. He sealed his mouth over Byakuya's just in time to catch the raw cry that let his lover's mouth as he climaxed. Renji kept thrusting against his partner, and finally felt the edge drop him off into the sea of pleasure Byakuya was swimming in.

He grinded against Byakuya a few more times as they calmed down and for a finishing touch pressed their clothed, sensitive members together, hard and echoed Byakuya's yell of intense pleasure.

They lay there, tangled up in each other as they calmed down their breathing. Renji panted against Byakuya's open mouth as he felt his heart rate slow. Opening his eyes, he looked down that the hybrid. The black ears were pressed so close to his head that they disappeared in Byakuya's hair. He felt the velvet fur of Byakuya's tail curled around the arms still holding his leg up. Slowly he lowered Byakuya's appendage and smiled at Byakuya's soft moan at the movement.

He could feel cum from his release sticking to his underwear and shivered at the feel of it. He needed to clean himself up, as should Renji, but he didn't want to move. He was relaxed from where he lay underneath Renji. He felt intense satisfaction from what he and Renji did. He never expected Renji to be so intense or dominating. It felt nice to be pressed into the bed. He knew he should feel some soreness from where their hip bones ground against each other, but he only felt the aftershocks of pleasure.

Renji shifter above him and Byakuya finally opened his eyes to Renji's satisfied smiling face. They kissed for a few minutes, Renji softly moving his mouth over Byakuya's and gently sucking on his tongue. After a few chaste kissed, Renji moved off him and groaned.

"Damn, that felt good." He glanced over at Byakuya. "Was that okay?'

Byakuya chuckled and rolled over onto his side to lift himself up. "I am deeply satisfied and wouldn't mind a repeat performance."

Renji grinned stupidly and helped Byakuya stand up. The hybrid grabbed a change of underwear and pants, doing the same for Renji and placing them on the bed while he walked into the bathroom, purring softly as he went. Happy that Byakuya was satisfied, Renji grabbed a few tissues and wiped himself off before changing into fresh cloths.

He was already under the covers when Byakuya walked back into the room, freshly changed, but still wearing his shirt. If he hadn't already cum a few minutes ago, he would have been ready to go all over again, but for now, he simple watched das Byakuya joined him in bed.

Byakuya sighed as he lay down and relaxed against the bed. After such an intense orgasm, he was happily sleepy. In fact he pressed into the arm Renji threw around him and rested his head on the red head's chest.

"Night Byakuya."

"Good night Renji."

Renji placed a gentle kiss on his lips and curled around him before his breath evened out. Byakuya joined him shortly after.

The next morning Byakuya woke up before Renji, as always, and found himself unable to move. His face was pressed against Renji's chest and the red head's arms were locked tightly around his frame holding him hostage against Renji's side. He couldn't even move his legs, as they were tangled with Renji's. The only part of his body he could move was his black tail. Hmm, he thought, How to wake him up?

He smiled deviously while curling his tail up to his mouth to give it a few licks, wetting the fur and shifted it in the direction of Renji's head. His ear to be exact. IT was hard to find with Renji's hair all over the place and covering half his face with the crimson locks. Once he did locate the vulnerable opening, he skillfully sticks his wetted appendage into Renji's ear. Effectively giving him a 'wet willy'.

"GAHH!" Renji bolted up right, causing Byakuya to roll away from him. Immediately after seeing Renji's reaction, Byakuya went into a fit of laughter. He didn't think it would work as well as Yachiru had said it would. He owed the small pink haired girl a treat.

Renji turned sleepy accusing eyes towards him. "Did you just do tha'?"

"Yes." He chuckled. "How else was I to get my freedom?"

Renji sighed and flopped back down. "Could 'ave asked, ya know."

"Yes but this was more entertaining."

Renji pulled the covers higher up under his chin and rolled onto his side facing Byakuya. "Evil hybrid, so deceiving. Handsome, but ruthless."

Byakuya smiled at the complements and scooted over to Renji's curled up form. He pried the blankets away from Renji's fingers and pulled them around himself. He lay flush against Renji's front and placed his head under Renji's chin in apology. Renji accepted by wrapping his arms around Byakuya protectively.

They lay contently against each other until Renji started to shift around, and give aggravated huffs of air that moved Byakuya's hair and caused him to fold his ears away from the air. He strongly disliked that feeling of having air pushed into his ears. Just as he was about to ask Renji to halt his movements or at least stop blowing air into his ears, Renji shifted enough for Byakuya to feel exactly what was bothering the red head.

Renji froze and held his breath when he brushed against Byakuya. He hadn't meant to, but the erection that was currently straining in his pants had been getting uncomfortable and he was trying to find a position in which he could relax and wait till it subsided.

"Sorry." He mumbled against Byakuya's hair.

Renji's words jolted Byakuya out of his musings. "It's alright."

"I'll go take a shower." Renji said rising from the covers and Byakuya's side, but was stopped when Byakuya's tail wrapped around on of his arms. Looking into Byakuya's shy face, he grinned when he saw the hidden lust in those grey orbs. "I can take care of it."

Byakuya bit his lip, "L-lay back down, please?"

Renji's eyes widened in shock, was Byakuya saying what he was hoping he was? When he was tugged down, Renji swallowed his suddenly dry throat. Guess Byakuya wanted to try, not that he was going to complain, but maybe he shouldn't pressure the hybrid. "You really don't 'ave to do this Byakuya, I can-"

"I want to." Was the mumbled reply as Byakuya shifted and rolled over until he could sit up. "Let me-?"

Renji was silent as he looked into Byakuya's eyes, he couldn't see anything that resembled doubt. He nodded and allowed Byakuya to push him back against the bed.

Byakuya took in a deep breath and lifted his legs to straddle Renji's waist, placing his core over Renji's hot and hard erection. He gasped softly as Renji's head feel back and he groaned deep in his throat. Renji's big hands suddenly grasped his hips, and Byakuya rested all his weight onto Renji.

"Uuhh." Renji gently moved Byakuya from when he was perched until they were rocking together. Byakuya picked up on what he wanted and after placing his hands against Renji's stomach; moved with him.

Byakuya watched as Renji became more lost in his pleasure, and felt the stirrings of arousal in his own groin. Giving Renji pleasure wasn't as hard or difficult as he thought it would have been. He'd felt some fear that he wouldn't be able to, but so far Renji seemed to be deeply enjoying how they rocked together.

"Ahh." Byakuya felt Renji's hands stray towards his ass and shivered when they squeezed him. God it felt good. "R-Renji."

Byakuya suddenly got an idea. He remembered when he'd asked Mayuri what Kenpachi liked him to do without actually having sex, and he'd told Byakuya how he could mimic the feelings of sex without actually have intercourse.

He braced his hands on Renji's taught stomach and lifted himself up a few centimeters before dropping his full weight back onto Renji.

"Fuck!" Renji cursed. The sharp zing of pleasure hit them both, and Byakuya felt himself fully harden against Renji's own erection. Mayuri was right, it did feel amazing. Gathering his blank mind once more, he rose and fell against Renji, mimicking the motions of sex against their cores. Renji responded by helping him rise each time and thrusting his own hips up when Byakuya fell. They both cried out at the sharp waves of pleasure that were slowly wiping their minds of thought.

Renji grabbed at Byakuya's ass and squeezed as he raised Byakuya up, jolting the other when their cores connected once again. God this was going to send him over the edge faster than last night. He could tell.

Suddenly on a particularly hard downward thrust, Byakuya tipped forwards until their chests were pressed against each other, and Byakuya's hands were placed over Renji's lungs, moving with his each heaving breath. The change in position added to their mutual pleasure, and Renji wrapped on arm around Byakuya's waist to hold him against his chest. The rise and fall motions didn't stop, but Byakuya's cries did come out more feline like. He was giving almost inaudible yowls of pleasure that Renji barely picked up on. His own vocalizations of pleasure had been reduced to grunts.

Byakuya could feel each breath Renji had, and bared his teeth in pleasure at their rutting. His ears were pitched forward as he took in Renji's face. His features were scrunched up and snarls were coming from the human's throat that spurred Byakuya into rutting against Renji harder and lifting up his tail.

Even in his virgin, pleasure induced brain, Byakuya knew what that meant. He was ready to have sex and was moving his tail up and away in invitation to mate. Had Renji been behind him or not so focused on thrusting against him, he may have seen what Byakuya was offering. Thankfully Renji didn't seem to see. Which was good. Byakuya wasn't ready for that type of intimacy quiet yet.

Unknown to Byakuya, Renji did see his tail lift in invitation, but choose to ignore the natural reaction the hybrid was having in favor of bring pleasure to the other without taking him up on an unconscious reaction. He didn't think it would be welcomed.

Instead he captured Byakuya's mouth with his own, their cries mingling together as they kissed. They were both ready to cum and were waiting. He could feel his balls lifting and Byakuya's wild thrusts were a clear indication he was ready. Renji bent his knees and raised them, forcing all of Byakuya's weight onto him. The hybrid bent his own knees until they were pressed against Renji's side, only then did Renji abruptly sit up, while still keeping their fevered pace.

Byakuya jolted in surprise at the sudden changes but allowed Renji to hold him up as they rubbed against each other. He was almost there, just a little more. The change in position helped bring them close and allowed him to wrap his arms around Renji for support as he bounced on Renji's lap.

Renji grunted as Byakuya's movements and helped him balance his weight. Now! He thought. They were still lip locked and Renji left Byakuya's lips just enough to talk against the hybrid's lips.

"Cum for me, love." He whispered. "Let go."

Byakuya was helpless and obeyed with a yowl of pleasure that Renji was quick to muffle with his lips. They continued to rock as Byakuya came, and when he was finally spent, Byakuya whispered back at Renji.

"Cum!" he hissed. Renji roared into Byakuya's mouth and thrusted hard against him before going ridged and pressed against Byakuya's spent member. For several minutes Renji jerked against Byakuya until, finally, he relaxed and gently released his grip on Byakuya's frame. He lowered then back onto the bed and panted along with the hybrid as they caught their breath.

"I'm suddenly glad my walls are think." Renji mumbled.

Byakuya started laughing. He was too; they were louder than last night. Byakuya still felt the flush of pleasure and heat on his checks, and snuggled into Renji's embrace. Their breathing returned to normal, but they didn't move, simply enjoying each other's body heat and presence.

"Thank you Renji." Byakuya said lifting his head to capture Renji's lips with his own. "I needed that."

Renji smirked, "Nah, I think I needed it more, babe."

Byakuya raised an eyebrow, "Babe?"

Renji smiled and nuzzled Byakuya's chin with his nose. "Don't like?"

Byakuya thought, "I will allow it."

Renji chuckled and shifted from where they lay. "I think we should get up now."

"Agreed."

"You want the shower first?'

"Please."

"It's all yours Babe." Renji said helping Byakuya stand and kissing his temple. Byakuya disappeared into the bathroom, and Renji made the bed listening until the water started to leave the room.

Half way through breakfast, Mayuri walked into the kitchen/dining room. He looked tired but happy. The girls didn't see him until he walked up behind them and blew in their ears.

"Daddy!" they cried, turning to hug him. Byakuya watched with amusement as the girls interrogated their Dad, asking him question after question. Once they were happy with the answers Mayuri gave them, Nell launched into a story of what they had done the night before, with Yachiru ending the tale with talk of the story Uncle Renji had read to them.

"You had fun then?" Mayuri asked, taking a sip from the mug filled with coffee that Renji had placed in front of him.

"Yeah, Uncle Byakuya was mean thou!" Nell said, sticking her tongue out at the hybrid in question.

"Oh, how so?" Mayuri asked, smirking at Byakuya.

"He said we had to be real good or we won' get a story." Yachiru said proudly. They were still working on her speaking skills.

"Well then, you'll both just have to be real good now won't you?" Mayuri said, "No getting into trouble you too. Or no more sweets."

"But Daddy!" the girls cried.

Mayuri chuckled, "Go play." He shooed them off with a wave of his hand.

Once they could hear the bedroom door slam and the peals of laughter from the two little girls, Mayuri turned towards Renji and Byakuya with a serious look on his face.

"Kenpachi asked me to marry him." He blurted out.

Renji chocked on his coffee and started coughing up the liquid. Byakuya, though shocked, placed a hand on his back and rubbed trying to help his lover. That wasn't expected in the least. Byakuya could see the dark flush on Mayuri's checks. At least he looked embarrassed for saying it so abruptly.

"He what?" Renji asked his voice ruff from coughing.

Mayuri huffed, "He asked me to marry him."

Silence. You could reach a hand out and touch it.

"What did you say?" Byakuya asked, sitting down besides Renji.

"I said yes- that I would marry him."

Renji appeared to have gone into shook. Byakuya rolled his eyes at his lover's systems shut down. Apparently he would have to do all the talking with Mayuri.

"When will you be having the wedding? Are you planning on telling Nell and Yachiru?"

Mayuri placed his arms on the table and rested his chin on them, not looking at them while he answered the questions. "We don't know yet, but it will be sometime this year, hopefully in the fall. That'll give us five months to plan it. And yes I'll be telling the girls today, at some point or another."

"How big will you have the wedding?"

"Just family and friends, noting big. I hate being around so many people for too long." Mayuri said, sitting back up to sip the coffee he was nursing. "I think we'll be moving back in soon, but I don't know yet. We're working it out."

"Fair enough. Perhaps no would be a good time to tell the girls. Renji and I will clean up while you tell them." Byakuya suggested.

Mayuri nodded, looking happy but reluctant. "I suppose I should tell them."

Even after Mayuri had left the kitchen, Renji had yet to move. Byakuya tried calling the idiots name but it was proving to be difficult to get the man to respond. Really, did this silly man plan to stay a statue forever? Flicking his ears didn't do anything, as Byakuya tried something else he'd once seem a pair of Hisana's servant's do when they thought no one was looking.

With a blush, Byakuya stood behind the human and pulled gently at the man's shirt until a section of his neck and shoulder were exposed. He licked his lips nervously before placing his lips against Renji's neck and gently sucking on the skin provided.

At first nothing happened, but then Renji jerked and gasped when Byakuya sucked harder at the flesh underneath his lips. He soothed the agitated flesh with his tongue and nuzzled Renji's neck as a hand wrapped around his head holding him there. He let go and backed away blushing red from his own boldness.

Renji didn't say anything regarding the hickey Byakuya had given him, instead giving his lover a deep kiss. This hybrid was worth falling in love with.

ZzZ.

"Hold still Mayuri, I'm almost done."

Whine. "Hurry up Byakuya; I'm going to be late."

"Nonsense, the bride is never late. The groom is simple to impatient."

Chuckled. "As true as that is Byakuya, I think we've made them all wait long enough don't you?"

"Impossible, time is needed to create perfection; I will not have you walking down that isle looking less than perfect. Kenpachi may not deserve you, but I will see to it that this day is perfect."

Mayuri could only role his eyes at his friend and 'bridesmaid/best friend'. The man had an obsession with perfection when it came to clothes. Renji himself was even reaping the 'benefits' of that reward. Although the red hair man did look better dressed lately. Mayuri held himself still as Byakuya finished tying the belts of his kimono.

Kenpachi had wanted him to wear a dress, but there was no way in hell he would be wearing such a thing in public. He glared at his fiancé anytime it was brought up. No dresses. At least not until the honey-moon that is. Mayuri smirked at that thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Byakuya asked suspiciously.

"Oh nothing," Mayuri said pinning Byakuya with a leer. "Just thinking of those clothes you and I went and bought. You remember the ones."

Right away Byakuya's face was cherry red. "cough, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Denial~!" Mayuri said in a sing-song voice while waggling his eyebrows.

"You know, the sheer dress you bought for Renji to tear right off you."

Byakuya looked at Mayuri in horror; he knew shopping with this man was a mistake. He'd forced Byakuya to go with him shopping for a honey-moon outfit to wear for Kenpachi and somehow Byakuya had been forced to try things on as well. Hence the very dress Mayuri was talking about. It wasn't that bad. See-threw and feminine but not overly so.

It was a strapless dress that was tight enough not to fall down. It zipped up on the side and had several small chains sewn and hooked into the fabric around the bust to give the illusion that Byakuya had a chest. The chains also fell around his waist, making it seem smaller too. Ankle bracelets and slave arm wraps were an added bonus according to Mayuri. For added affect, there were ear piercings that Mayuri had forced Byakuya to get put in, as well as a golden chain tail accessory. Two straps of pliable metal would be secured to the end of his tail and near the base leaving three inches left on either end that showed Byakuya's black fur. The middle section between the gold bands is where Byakuya would have to hook about 20 smaller gold chains like the ones on the dress. This way his tail was mostly gold chains and some peaks of fur. Over all it was very sexual.

"And the slave jewels to add to your debauched look when he walks into the bedroom and you're lying there on the covers with candles flickering light off of your twitching form, Renji will positively devour you." Mayuri hissed out, leering at Byakuya's flushed and horrified face.

"Not a word more Mayuri or I'll take longer to do this." Byakuya weakly threatened.

Mayuri cackled, "Fair enough."

A few moments passed in which both men were lost in their thoughts.

"Say Byakuya."

"Yes?"

"Why aren't you showing off your pierced ears?"

Byakuya flushed once more. "I'm wearing black studs in for now, no one will notice. I want it to be a surprise for Renji tonight."

"Oh yeah tonight's your big night too. I forgot about that with the wedding and all."

Byakuya nodded. He'd almost forgotten what he planned for Renji. They hadn't had sex yet, he had been postponing for a special occasion. Instead they'd finally bathed together and had started oral sex between the two.

However, tonight was when his heat was going to kick in. Usually it wasn't a problem for him to go through his heats, but this time he wanted Renji to participate. Before they'd become sexual involved, he'd taken care of himself alone and at night, with Renji sleeping a few feet away not knowing what Byakuya was doing.

Plus it was a night to remember with Kenpachi and Mayuri getting married. Thankfully, Mayuri's parents were taking the girls. Mayuri had arranged for it, so Renji and he could have some time alone, to experiment with his heat.

"There done."

Mayuri went to the mirror and looked himself over. It was a simple white kimono with blue and pink streaks of color that stood out. Mayuri's hair was longer than before. Byakuya had the girls help him braid it the night before, leaving it wavy today and easy to pin back his bangs. The kimono's obi was a brilliant gold and yellow color that had been loosely tied around Mayuri's wait. It wouldn't fall down, but Mayuri was doing to be changing later anyway.

Underneath was a long green tunic that went down to Mayuri's thighs, stopping just before his knees. It was fitted and didn't require a tie. For pants he had a loose black hakama that had little flecks of gold stitched in.

Mayuri looked pleased with his appearance and turned around to face Byakuya. "Now may we go?"

Byakuya chuckled at Mayuri's impatience. "Yes, Nell and Yachiru are already there."

"Good, I can't wait to get out of this kimono, it's bothersome." Byakuya only shook his head.

ZzZ.

The ceremony had been wonderful. Renji had walked down the aisle first with Yachiru as her escort, holding the little girls arm and afterwards taking his place next to Kenpachi. Renji wore a simple black suit with a gold flower over his left breast. Yachiru and Nell both had teal and pink colored dresses that went to the floor and pooled out like they wanted. True princesses.

Next Byakuya and Nell walked down the aisle. He had been wearing a white suit the same shade as Mayuri's kimono. He'd gone to stand where Mayuri would be in a moment. Renji sent him a wink.

Mayuri had been walked down the aisle by his mother, with his father laughing quietly along with the rest of the guests. Unusual, but touching all the same. The vows were short and before long the wedding guests were cheering as the newly married couple kissed passionately.

Currently Byakuya was sitting at his and Renji's table watching as his lover danced with Nell, twirling her around. Two other people had also rented out the large building to have their parties in separate ends. A few times Byakuya had seen bridesmaids walk in to look around before leaving in fits of giggles.

Mayuri didn't seem to care, and Kenpachi was too focused on Mayuri and his outfit to notice anything else. Yachiru was now joining them in their dance, giggling as they held her. Renji abruptly walked over to him while Nell went to join her family dancing.

"Wanna dance?' Renji asked with a grin on his face.

"As long as you refrain from stepping on my toes, I see no reason why not." Renji rolled his eyes and took ahold of Byakuya's hand, dragging him along until they were joining the other dancers.

He pulled Byakuya into a slow dance, holding him gently within his arms and Byakuya only smiled when Renji started to sing along with a love song playing. A song by Nate King Cole if he was correct and Renji was singing alone in tune, dipping Byakuya back and swaying along with him.

For once since Hisana had sent him away Byakuya was truly happy, here in Renji's arms dancing with him and listening to Renji sing to him, Byakuya was happy Hisana had gotten tired of him. If she had not he would never have met the man he loved more than anything.

"I love you Renji." He whispered against Renji's neck. Renji stiffened but continued in their dance shortly after drawing Byakuya back to look into his eyes.

"I love you too, Byakuya. More than anything Babe." Renji said, placing a chaste kiss on his lips and twirling him around with more enthusiasm.

The evening passed with dancing, drinks, food, stories and love filled kisses. Byakuya was totally focused on Renji for the rest of the night, but laughing along with the other wedding guest at the embarrassing stories of Kenpachi and Mayuri's school days. Before long, people started leaving. Mayuri's parents talking the sleepy Nell and Yachiru home with them . He and Reni left shortly after.

ZzZ.

Renji was taking a shower and Byakuya was starting to panic.

He'd put out candles, rose petals decorated the floor and a scent of chocolate filled the air. A soft romantic mood was in place. The sheets were no longer the plain grey Renji had changed them to a few days ago. Byakuya had changed them into a deep plum color and had changed into his outfit for the night.

His heat had started around the time they left the wedding party, and now Byakuya was highly aroused and nervous about seducing Renji. He didn't want to make any mistakes tonight. He'd changed the black studs in his ears, and replaced them with the gold pair that Mayuri had purchased for him as a gift.

"For losing your virginity." He had teased.

The tail ornament had been difficult to put on, but it was snugly in place and offered no pain when he moved it around. The sheer fabric he wore was pure white and shifted when he moved, the chains making soft tingling sounds as they brushed together. He'd made sure the bracelets on his fore arms were confortable before purchasing them together with the dress. Now they gleamed in the candle light.

The ankle bracelets jingled softly as he paced the room. There were small bells that had been chained on them, and added to the length down his foot. It matched a similar gold necklace Mayuri had given him before they'd left. On it were three small red ruby's that dangled from three smaller chains. Essentially it was a chocker, but more expensive than most. Mayuri had been given it as a wedding gift from his mom, but would never wear such a thing. Hence he'd given it to Byakuya instead of Nell or Yachiru.

His hair was down around his shoulders, framing his face. He'd taken a shower before Renji and had brushed his hair several times to try and cool his nerves. Renji was taking far longer than usual. Just when he thought about entering the bathroom to see if he was still alive, the water shut off, signaling Renji was done.

Byakuya felt his heart hammer in his chest and he crawled onto the fresh plum sheets. He nervously played with the chains on his belt as he waited for Renji to exit the bathroom. Finally he heard the door open and looked up in time to see Renji exit the bathroom wearing only a pair of sweat pants and toweling his hair. He abruptly stopped in his tracks upon seeing Byakuya.

Byakuya watched as Renji's mouth opened and closed several times and felt a blush when Renji started talking in his appearance. He wasn't wearing anything under the sheer fabric and knew Renji could see his arousal with no problem.

Renji's Adam apple bobbed a few times as he swallowed. Finally Renji's wandering eyes locked with Byakuya's. Pure lust and adoration were reflected in those dark eyes. Renji was slowly moving from his spot near the bathroom and was walking towards the bed were Byakuya was sitting. He let the towel fall from his hands and for once Byakuya didn't scold him on not putting it in the hamper or hanging it up.

"Babe, what-"

Byakuya cut off Renji, wanting to explain himself. "I'm ready for this Renji. I want this to happen, tonight works best for me. It's a special occasion with the wedding and my heat on the same night."

"Wha-your heat?" Renji questioned as he stood in from of his lover.

Byakuya swallowed, "Yes I've been going into heat since age 17. I'm 24 now. I've been experiencing it for some time now."

Renji looked bewildered, "While you've been here?"

"Yes." Renji seemed to be thinking about his words and Byakuya looked away. He felt nervous about what he was asking. He didn't know if Renji even wanted to go further in their relationship.

"You look hot in that by the way." Renji husked out, his voice dropping in tone and pitch. "Like a virgin sacrifice waiting for their lord to sully them with pleasure and turn them into a sexed lover."

Byakuya shivered. "T-that's the idea Renji. Tonight I'm yours, to do what you want with."

Renji knew how much trust was being placed on his shoulders right now. Byakuya had created a romantic atmosphere while he'd been in the shower and had slipped into a sexy dress that Renji wanted to tear right threw. He could see Byakuya's arousal, and felt his own throb in response. The gold chains and jewelry that were hanging off the sexy hybrid added to his want, and when he looked up at those soft ears, he saw the piercings that had been placed into them. Byakuya had even pierced his ears for this.

"I won't disappoint ya." He promised, dropping to his knees in front of Byakuya. "Scoot closer please."

Byakuya sat on the edge of the bed and watched as Renji toyed with the chains on his ankles, before moving further up his legs and wrapping his arms loosely around him. Renji leaned up and slowly engaged Byakuya in a kiss, sucking on his bottom lip and drinking in Byakuya's low moan.

They kissed with passion, lips molded together and tongues tangling. Renji lifted his hands from around Byakuya's waist and cradled his face; cupping both flushed checks and deepening their kiss.

Pulling away, Renji stood back up and gesture for Byakuya to move to the center of the bed. Once the hybrid was where he wanted him, Renji joined him on the bed and went back to the soft lips of his partner, running his hands over Byakuya's sides and feeling the warm flesh separated by the sheer material Byakuya wore. Twice he ghosted over the zipper that held Byakuya's dress together, but didn't unzip the article of clothing. He wanted to enjoy this for a little while longer.

Byakuya could only pant as Renji teased his sides and started licking at his jaw and neck, giving soft nips with his teeth which were smoothed over with a hot tongue. He tilted his head back to give Renji more room to work and lifted his jeweled arms to run his hands through Renji's red hair. It was still slightly damp, but he could easily run his fingers through the soft and silky tresses.

When Renji moved his mouth away, Byakuya glanced down to see Renji looking at the chocker. Moments later he trailed soft kisses over Byakuya's exposed shoulders, moving the black hair out of his way to have more access. Byakuya's skin was soft and creamy. Renji ran his tongue over the warm flesh a couple times before focusing on the skin just above the dress line, Byakuya's collar bone.

He placed nips and soft bits on the flesh, liking the quiet moans he received in response. He gently grasped Byakuya's hips with his hands and lifted him into kneeling on his knees, putting his height about Renji's own from where the red haired man sat on the bed. Once Byakuya was in position, Renji started playing with the chains on Byakuya's waist/.

He wanted to coast into sex, not rush head on like Byakuya seemed to be thinking he would. No, he could tell how nervous Byakuya was. Even with his heat, Renji knew he needed to treat Byakuya like the sacrifice he was. Virginity was a precious thing, and Renji wouldn't taint Byakuya's first time with fear and pain. He loved him too much to allow that.

Taking the link that held the belt together, Renji unhooked it and allowed it to fall onto the bed. He'd move it later. He looked up at the nipples that were directly in front of his face and licked his lips. Byakuya gave a harsh gasp when he aggressively covered the nub with his mouth, uncaring of the material in his way. He sucked and used his other hand to rub against Byakuya's other nipple, smirking when Byakuya's hands cradled his head to his chest.

Byakuya rocked slightly, holding Renji's mouth against him, and biting his lip when Renji rubbed harder against his other nipple. He'd never paid much attention to them himself, but Renji seemed to have an intense obsession with them. He always paid them lots of attention.

The sucking through the material was starting to become uncomfortable, but Renji switched to gentle licking without Byakuya needing to say anything. He switched and took the other into his mouth, but used his free hand to rub at Byakuya's back.

With both nipples hard and red, Renji moved on to the zipper of the dress.

Byakuya sighed as Renji unzipped him from the dress, careful not to catch his skin and gently coxing the garment from Byakuya's frame. He peeled the white fabric away from Byakuya exposing the creamy skin he so wanted to lick. He allowed the fabric to bunch up around Byakuya's waist and started mouthing the torso of his lover.

Byakuya gasped in pleasure as Renji teased his sides with his mouth. The lips against his chest and lower abdomen licked and sucked all over, covering Byakuya's torso in a light sheen of saliva.

"Ohh, feels good." Byakuya said, petting the hair on Renji's head as he rocked against the other. He pulled on the strands when Renji bit gently at his side. He wanted more. Renji sensed this and pulled the rest of the dress off Byakuya's body and flung the forgotten material onto the floor. Now, Byakuya was naked and panting from Renji's ministrations. He kissed Byakuya's stomach before moving down to the erection demanding his attention.

Byakuya cried out when Renji licked at his man hood. "Renji please~!"

Renji grunted. They needed a change of position and he needed to get out of his pants. He released Byakuya, pulling the sweats form his hips, feeling Byakuya's eyes on him as he did so. He pulled them off completely and leaned back against the pillows. Getting confortable he locked eyes with his lover. "Come an' sit on my chest."

Byakuya didn't understand what Renji was getting at, but moved to do as he ordered, blushing when he came to realize just why Renji had wanted him to sit there.

"In my side draw is a bottle, can ya reach it?" Renji asked, as Byakuya settled. They were close enough that Byakuya could reach it without problem. Handing the bottle to Renji he leaned back waiting for Renji to take the lead.

Renji didn't say anything, just grinned before pulling Byakuya's hips towards his head until his breath ghosted over the bobbing erection in front of him. He didn't allow Byakuya any other warning, just opened his mouth and sucked Byakuya in.

"Uhhg~!" Byakuya jerked in Renji's hold and tensed.

He didn't start sucking, allowing Byakuya time to get use to the feeling. He bobbed his head a few times to test the waters and when Byakuya started moaning and crying out, he added more pressure to the cock in his mouth. He knew the sucking would set Byakuya off fastest, and settled for bobbing his head taking in the cock deeply. He didn't want to set the other off by deep throating him just yet.

While Byakuya was so focused on Renji's mouth, he slipped his hand away to apply more lube to his fingers, rubbing them together to warm the liquid. He placed his hand against Byakuya's ass bellow the decorated tail and rubbed against the checks. The tail soon, lifted in invitation and Renji slipped his fingers against Byakuya's crack ignoring the startled jerk from the hybrid.

He rubbed against the entrance of the other and waited until he was relaxed enough to gently apply pressure. The tip of his index finger slipped in and Renji gagged slightly when Byakuya thrust forward.

Renji was careful, and pushed his slicked finger in deeper. Once he had his finger in as deep as it could go, he started moving it around. Pulling in and out of Byakuya's entrance to get him use to the feeling. After several minutes, he added another finger to the one already in Byakuya.

Sucking hard on his cock, Renji distracted Byakuya from the feeling of another finger pushing into him, until it was fully in. the he moved them both in and out in time with the bobbing of his head. Byakuya was moaning above him and moving with Renji's mouth and fingers: accepting them and rolling his hips into them. Byakuya's hands joined Renji's, holding the humans wrists, gripping onto him as he rode the pleasure Renji was giving to him.

Renji started to notice Byakuya's entrance was becoming moist without the addition of lube and for a few moments thought he'd hurt and tiered Byakuya's lining, but when the sweet scent started to waft into Renji's nose, he knew Byakuya was fine. He'd heard of hybrid's having a natural wetness during their heats.

The added slickness helped Renji to thrust his fingers into the other without risk of hurting him. He added a third finger but stopped when Byakuya cried out. Looking up into the grey eyes of his lover he could see pleasure and lust but no pain on his features. Carefully he continued adding the net finger and thrusting it in with the others.

Byakuya was panting harshly. He could feel Renji's slick fingers moving around in him and the moist heat around his length was distracting. He wanted more, but couldn't bring himself to more. He felt so good right now. At the manor, he'd heard the first time hurt, but he wasn't experiencing any pain, only mild discomfort and pleasure.

"Please, no more Renji." Byakuya pleaded, rocking against Renji's chest. "Please ."

Renji allowed Byakuya's erection to slip from his mouth and pulled in a few deep breaths. He didn't remove his fingers but continued to thrust them into the hybrid. "I don't wanna hurt you."

"I-I know~." Byakuya cried, "But I don't feel any pain. Please~"

Nodding Renji removed his fingers, kissing Byakuya's hip when he whined softly. He maneuvered Byakuya off of his chest and laid him down onto the bed, watching as his sweat slicked chest rose and fell.

As he caught his breath, Byakuya took the time to ogle his lovers tattooed chest. He loved the black lines that littered the man's body. The one's on his back were Byakuya's favorite. Renji was flushed above him, and his own thick erection was bobbing with each beat of his heart.

They stared at each other, before Renji leaned down to kiss his lover, and rock their erections against each other. He groaned deeply into Byakuya's mouth as the hybrid echoed his pleasure. He thrusted against Byakuya mimicking what they would be doing in a few moments.

"Are you ready?" he asked the hybrid when he pulled away. Byakuya's legs were on either side on his own, allowing Renji to move in between the creamy thighs and settle against Byakuya's lower body. He watched as Byakuya nodded slowly and leaned back fully.

Byakuya rested against the sheets and bent his legs to lift them higher against Renji's hips. He arched into Renji and instigated another kiss. While they tangled tongues, Byakuya could feel Renji grab the bottle he'd been using earlier. Renji poured some into his palm and brought his hand down to his erection to rub the liquid against himself: hissing at the coldness of it.

It was the moment of truth for them both and Byakuya could only close his eyes and feel as Renji shifted against him until he was placed at his entrance. He knew he was slick with his body's arousal and was saliently glad for the added wetness.

Renji waited, and then pushed in.

At first Byakuya didn't feel anything, and then Renji was inside him. He opened his mouth in a wordless cry and his ears flattened against his head in pleasure. There was pain, but only form the sudden stretch. It burned as Renji went further in, but Byakuya felt full, and cried out as Renji bottomed out inside him.

Renji panted into Byakuya's hair when his balled pressed against Byakuya's ass. He was fully in the other. Looking up into his lovers face, Renji could see Byakuya's mouth opened in a silent cry. A stray tear slid down Byakuya's check, but the hybrid only gasped and squeezed around Renji tighter. He'd never been with a virgin before, and could now see why people often had sex with them. Byakuya was tight and Renji had a hard time holding still.

His control, as thin as it was, snapped when Byakuya arched his back and rolled his hips, forcing Renji to move inside. After that Renji started a series of small thrusts into Byakuya while the hybrid cried out and licked at Renji's chin. Instinct was running Byakuya now since his brain had stopped thinking logically ages ago. It felt better that Mayuri had ever said it did. What they did before together paled in comparison.

Reni grunted and pulled almost all the way out and then rammed into Byakuya with force. He was losing his ability to be gentle and hoped Byakuya was okay with him being more forceful. Byakuya keened out and clawed at Renji's back when he repeated the harsh thrusts into him, striking that spot deep in him that had him gasping for breath and tears forming in the corners of his eyes.

They rutted together and Renji bared his teeth when Byakuya nipped at his chin and cried out each time he roughly thrusted into the hybrid. Renji felt the natural liquid from Byakuya coat his erection and his thrust became smoother. He continued his pace, in and out, piercing into Byakuya, each time striking his prostate.

It could have been hours or minutes since they started and Byakuya knew he wasn't going to last much longer. He was in too much pleasure to last long. Renji was driving into him so deeply, and all he could do was hold on and cry out each time that hard erection reentered him.

Renji abruptly rolled over onto his back, staying in Byakuya. The change in position changed where his erection rested with in Byakuya. Now it rested fully against his prostate, adding the deliciously painful pleasure and leaving Byakuya a shaking mess on top of Renji.

The erection thrusting into him was still drilling hard into his prostate, and Byakuya yowled each time Renji bottomed out, his balls slapping against Byakuya's. In and out that hot length went. He was full and loved every second. The jingling of his chains added to the sounds of Renji's growls and grunts against Byakuya's cries and yowls.

Renji wrapped his hand around the base of Byakuya's tail and held on as Byakuya jerked hard against him. He tightened his grip and pulled on the soft appendage as he lost the rhythm of his thrusts, wildly ramming into Byakuya's soft entrance.

"FUCK!" He shouted as Byakuya squeezed him. Byakuya was close to coming. His walls were tightening and fluttering against his cock and he was getting more and more vocal.

"Auuuhh~! Oh Renji!" Byakuya cried, rolling his hips harshly as Renji's pace turned wild and desperate: plowing into him deeply. "A-almost-there~!"

Renji bared his teeth to the ceiling, "Fuck, me too."

"Renji- Renji-RENJI~~!"

"GAHHHH~~!"

Byakuya came, pushed over the edge and fluttering around Renji, an inhuman cry pulled from his throat as he spurted against Renji's stomach. Renji continued to thrust into him as he rode out his orgasm, and he could feel the semen shot into him. Renji didn't stop until he was completely spent and only then did his body relax with Byakuya boneless atop him.

Byakuya heaved air into his lungs, feeling the aftershocks of pleasure as he lay atop a sweaty Renji. He tried to speak but couldn't form words yet. He felt the mixture of cum and his natural slickness seep out around Renji's softening erection.

"Are ya okay?" Renji asked his voice horse. His arms wear still holding Byakuya to him, with one hand still wrapped around the base of his tail. Even his tail was limp.

"Y-yes." He whispered into Renji's chest.

They lay there in silence after that. It took ten minutes before their hearts had returned to a normal beat, and for their bodies to fully relax. Byakuya was content to stay on top of Renji until morning but he needed to clean up and remove the gold jewelry that had stayed on. The chocker had come off some time ago and was lying a top of the covers.

Byakuya moved first, sitting up and echoing Renji's groan when the movement caused Renji's spent member to slip out of him. He was sore, but pleasantly so. Renji leaned up to place a chaste kiss on his lips and rubbed the base of his tail affectionately.

They finally moved from the dirty sheets and cleaned up; changed again before returning to blow out the candles and remove Byakuya's remaining jewels.

"I like these." Renji commented as he unclipped the bracelets on Renji's fore arms. He fingered the gold earrings in Byakuya's pointed and fury ears. "Looks hot."

Byakuya blushed as he moved into bed and under the covers. "Mayuri made me get them. I'm thinking of keeping them in."

Renji kissed his nose as they settled down. "I'll buy ya some more if you like. How 'bout some red ones?"

Byakuya shifted until he was pressed right up against Renji, laying his head onto Renji's shirt covered chest. "I'd like that."

Byakuya closed his eyes and relaxed into Renji's embrace, He was content and happy. A little sore and raw around and in his entrance, but he would he fine in a few days, and now that they had the flat to themselves, Byakuya intended to encourage mating between Renji and himself more often.

DONE! Thank god, I was about to run out of muse and steam. My fingers hurt so bad, been typing for two days on and off to finish this.
