Chapter VI

~Past~

'What a prick,' he thought to himself as he sat across from the raven-haired man. 'Who the hell wears kenseikan in their hair these days? Royal douchebag...' This man was definitely not his type and he hated his guts. He had this stuck-up attitude that basically screamed 'Im better than you,' and he always gave him pointed looks. Fucking creeper.

Rukia sat beside Ichigo at the pub Byakuya had chosen, wanting to spend time with his sister and absolutely insisting that Ichigo come along. Something was wrong with him for sure. There would be many instances where he would be left alone with Byakuya, and the man would make these small advances that pissed the orangette off to no end. Although, the ass made the advances so nonchalant that he couldn't exactly call him a pedophile... Yet.

Ichigo stood from where he sat, signaling to the door as he stated, "I'm going out for some air."

Byakuya was right behind him. "I shall go as well." He stood as Ichigo rolled his eyes, strutting towards the door and out. Not bothering to hold the door open for the bastard, it nearly hit him in the face. He snickered.

The setting sun cast orange hues on the objects around them; the sky yellow near the sun, then orange, and farther up it sunk into beautiful shades of purple and midnight blue. It wasn't humid, as it usually wasn't. The evening was a comfortable coolness that enveloped his skin and sent him into a bliss; closing his eyes and inhaling deeply.

The moment was lost when he felt strong, slim fingers grip his arms and pull him towards one of the many alleys, choosing one a few feet away from where they previously stood. His eyes snapped open and he struggled against the man's hold.

"B-Byakuya, what the hell? Get off me!" Ichigo tried to use his hands for leverage against the taller man's chest, but it was no use. Byakuya overpowered him in height and weight.

Damn himself for not being able to defend himself...

"Don't struggle, Ichigo. You'll just end up having to make me use force, and I don't want to have to do that."

"What the hell do you want from me?"

"Your body."

The words slid smoothly off of his tongue and Ichigo couldn't help but cringe.

"Asshole, you can't have me, now get off!" he yelled, using his strength to force him off. It worked for a second, Ichigo taking a mere few steps in attempt to escape before Byakuya had his arms again. He was thrust face-first against the brick wall, his hands secured firmly behind his back. A hand grabbed a handful of his hair and yanked his head back. He yelped.

"Let the fuck go!"

"I'll have you right here, I don't think we'll be able to make it to somewhere private without you escaping."

His hair was released, the hand coming around to unbuckled the studded belt he chose to wear that day. With eyes closed, he mentally prepared himself for what was to happen next.

"Get your hands off of him! What do you think you're doing to Ichigo?"

Said boy's eyes snapped open and he heaved a heavy sigh of relief to see Rukia. She stood at the entrance of the alleyway with a cellphone in hand, hopefully dialing the number to 911.

"Rukia." Byakuya released him, backing away from the boy. Ichigo scrambled over to Rukia, glancing at her phone to see she really had called the police.

"Rukia, put that phone away."

"No, I will do no such thing. Besides, it's too late."

Sirens sounded in the near distance, Byakuya looking as if he were trying to keep hold of his usual serene composure.

"Ichigo, reason with her," he pleaded. "I wasn't trying to harm you."

"No, you were going to rape me. What makes you think I'd accept something such as that from someone like you?"

"But-"

"Is this him, ma'am?" an officer asked, gesturing towards Byakuya, who was about ready to dash, but his personality keeping him in place.

Rukia nodded, a bit dazed at how quickly they had managed to arrive. They nodded and left his and Rukia's side to arrest the raven.

He gave a thankful smile towards her. "Thank you."

"Ichigo, he had no right. I'm so sorry that...my own brother was capable of doing this. Especially to you." She embraced him tightly before walking over to one of the officers to give a report on the incident. He followed, knowing they'd need the gruesome details from his side as well.

A hooded figure was leaned up against a tree not far away, foot propped up behind him on the trunk with a single blue strand hanging in front of his face. A deep scowl was plastered on his features as he watched the scene from a safe distance, disapproving towards what had just recently occurred. That raven-haired bastard was going to get what he deserved.

No one touched his Ichi.

-...-

Just weeks later, the man had been placed on parole, being restricted to his current area and not allowed to go anywhere. Of course, the blue-haired himself got sick pleasure off knowing that people spat on that man's good name. Well, hell. He deserved it.

Grimmjow watched Byakuya walk the partially empty streets, the man's head held high to retain what dignity he had left. A few of the people that were on the streets walked into restaurants and pubs, others turning down side-streets. This left Byakuya utterly alone.

With quick movement and the stealth to match an assassin, he lunged from his place behind his Camaro, dashing across the street to get behind him. A chloroform cloth was placed over his nose and mouth. He didn't have much strength to spare for struggling; the drug draining his ability to feel his limbs and finally claiming his consciousness.

Once he was totally out, he dragged him into a small alley where he pulled cuffs from his belt, securing the other's wrists behind his back. His ankles were taken care of with rope whilst his face was bound with a single long strip of cloth from an old handkerchief. It first went over his eyes and behind his head, crisscrossing before coming around to cover the mouth in another crisscross. He tied the extra cloth behind his head.

"Son-of-a-bitch," he said at the unconscious man, peering around the corner of the alleyway to make sure the coast was clear. Picking up the limp body and throwing him over his shoulder, he made his way quickly to his car. The body was placed in the trunk, darkness closing in when the door was slammed shut.

-...-

Byakuya's eyes opened to a dark room. He let his eyes adjust so he could check his surroundings. The first thing he spotted was a silver metal lab table beside where he lay on a cold slab of what felt like marble or smooth cement. An assortment of utencils were lined on a thin surgical sheet and he wanted to panic. His limbs struggled to move, but was held securely in place by leather straps around his wrists and ankles. He lay spread-eagle on the slab.

A door opened off on the far side of the room. Looking down over his feet where the light of the open door appeared, he saw a figure that was silhouetted against the light. He could tell the hair was a sexy mess and without waiting any longer, the man shut the door behind him.

With a racing heart, he tried to search for the man through the darkness, following the sound of heavy, threatening footsteps.

"So, Byakuya, was it? Ah, yes. The older brother of Ichigo's friend, Rukia. What a shame she won't have someone like you to look up to," the voice said, followed by a laugh.

"How dare y-"

"No, how fucking dare you. How dare you try to lay a hand on what's one touches what's mine, and I will make sure you remember that!"

Grimmjow turned on an overhead lamp, revealing himself to the raven. His face was smooth and flawless, though lines formed on his forehead in his anger as he scowled down at the man. Cerulean eyes pierced through Byakuya, causing him to shiver and, for the first time, he felt real fear. Fear that he knew he would not live.

His life now belonged to this man.

This chapter and the next, if you couldn't guess, are past events.

Warning: The next chapter will contain details that will make you squirm. You do NOT have to read the next chapter, since there is no real info crucial to the story. It's all about Byakuya's gruesome death. :3
