Chapter 9

Days when by and Byakuya would visit the redhead and discipline him. Soon Renji lost track of how long he had been locked up in the basement. The noble came each day with food for him and they would eat together. Since he was trapped in the basement he couldn't do chores upstairs but Byakuya had found other use for his husband. In the past he had used the other as a punch bag but that was nothing compared to now. Every little thing that displeased the noble would be let out on the redhead. To make sure that no one would find Renji, the noble had a special bracelet made which blocked the redhead's spiritual pressure. This also made it impossible for the younger man to fight his husband.

Renji had tried to resist but in the end Byakuya got his way, as he always did, at the cost of some new bruises for the younger man. Renji soon found that his desire to fight, or even live, was as good as gone. During the days when the noble was at work he would have to do all the things Byakuya instructed him to before leaving the house. Byakuya had also gotten more cruel and creative when it came to punishments. He would sometimes tied up Renji, shove a toy inside him, put in on full speed and leave him there for the day. Later when he got home, Renji would be almost unconscious.

Days past and Renji grew more and more tired of living this way. When he woke up one morning, more sour then usual, he glanced around the room only to find it empty. He looked at the small clock next to the futon and saw that it was almost 3 am. He let out a sigh of relief and slowly got up to clean of all the blood on his body. Byakuya had been on a particularly bad mood when he got home last night. He had yelled something about it being his fault that some of the clan elders were upset with him. The noble had never been so harsh with his husband and the redhead had thought that he'd finally lost his mind.

Renji had managed to get to the small bathroom to clean himself of and was just about done when he hear the door open. He hurried back to the bed, Byakuya tended to get angry if his "lover" wasn't waiting for him when he came down. "Good afternoon husband" Renji said and bowed his head as the noble threw himself next to him. "Good? What's so good about it? The head captain is just a grumpy old man who is an idiot that should mind his own business! It's not my fault the division is full of incompetent bastereds!" the other yelled causing the redhead to shrug away, moving towards the other side of the futon. The noble quickly noticed this and in a flash he had forcefully grabbed Renji's wrist and squeezed it as hard as he could.

"Ah B-Byakuya, please stop. Please it hurts" the redhead pleaded up this only made the noble press even harder. "And where do you thing you're going? You think you're the one who decides when you can leave my side?!" Byakuya yelled as he slapped the other. The redhead fell back onto the bed. Luckily for him, the noble had used the hand that he had hurt Renji's wrist to slap him. As he laid on the bed, he didn't make any attempt to get up since he knew it would only make his situation worse. He looked over his shoulder and saw Byakuya walk over to the small dresser on the other side of the futon and bring out a thick leather belt.

Seconds later he felt the cold air sweep over his body as Byakuya ripped of the blue kimono that the redhead was wearing, throwing it to the side, raising his arms arm and brought down the belt on his husband's back with all the strength he could muster. He continued until his arm was staring to ache. Renji's shivering body was now covered in sharp red marks that where sure to leave pretty bad bruises. The noble leaned over the other, grabbing onto his chin, making the redhead look at him. "Have you learned your lesson?" he said with a sly voice. Renji didn't answer, he was too afraid. "WELL?!" the other suddenly yelled, letting go Renji's chin only to grab onto his red lock, pulling him up so that he was now kneeling on the bed in front of the noble. "Y-yes husband" the redhead whispered. He fell back onto the bed when Byakuya let go of his hair. "Good boy" the noble said as he walked around to the other side of the bed, running his hand over the bruised body, making the man shiver even more then before.

The hand soon left Renji's injured back. Had he left? The redhead carefully lifted his head to see where to other had gone but he soon found out. A gasp escaped his lips when he felt two fingers entering him. Byakuya was sitting on the other side of the bed, on hand busy raving his lower back and the other on his shoulder keeping him down on his side. This position made this even more painful since every time Byakuya made him flinch he would feel a chock of pain from his back. "P-Please Byakuya my back" he tried to the noble wouldn't listen. He continued to thrust more fingers inside of him before harshly turning him over on his back. Renji couldn't help but whimper when his bleeding back bit the bed.

"Now what is this? Are you denying me again?" the noble said slamming down his hands on either side of his husbands head. The redhead staid completely still, just shaking his head slightly as he saw a twisted grind on the noble's face as Byakuya draped Renji's legs over his shoulders and thrusted into the smaller man. A sharp scream cut through the air. This made the noble quite annoyed as the redhead kept crying out in pain. A hard slap landed on Renji's face as Byakuya stared to yell down at him. "SHUT UP! You're ruining it. It's you job as my husband to please me. You are nothing more than a slut, nothing more then a sex toy. I bet that's the only reason you when with that brat in the first place. You just wanted another man to fuck you!" The noble kept verbally abuse him as his thrust began to speed up. The redhead remained silent for the rest of the act, tears running down his face and biting his lip so hard that blood was drained.

Byakuya shot his seed deep within his husband who just looked to the side with an empty expression on his face, tears still running down his flushed face. A pale hand forcefully grabbed the redhead's chin, turning his face up towards the panting noble. "Mine" he hissed and forced his tongue inside Renji's mouth once more. The redhead was too tired and numb to protest, he just laid there starring up at the ceiling. Byakuya stood up and dressed himself and just as he was about to talked to his husband again, a loud knock caught both men's attention. With a few quick movements had the noble tied Renji's hands to the headboard and tied a rag over his mouth. "Just so you don't get any ideas about calling for help"

Byakuya flung the door open and was face by Ukitake and the brat. The longhaired captain gave the noble his usual warm smile while the orange haired man's eyes looked like they were trying to kill him. "Captain Ukitake, Ichigo. What can I do for you?" he asked in his normal calm voice.

"Sorry to bother you Byakuya but Ichigo insisted that I came with him to talk to you". The noble crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

"Well, let's hear what he has to say". Ichigo gave the noble another glare before stepping forward.

"I know it was you who took Renji from my apartment, Urahara confirmed it, and now I want you to let him go" Byakuya was ready for this statement but Ukitake wasn't.

"W-what are you taking about Ichigo?"

"I'm talking about this prick abusing his so called husband!" the orange haired yelled this time. The white haired captain looked with big eyes from one to the other.

"Is this true, Byakuya? Have you been hurting Renji?". Byakuya took a deep breathe to calm himself so that he would rip the brat apart. "I don't know what he's talking about. Renji and I are quite happy as a matter of fact". He knew the other captain would believe his word over Ichigo's.

"Is that so? Then why haven't any of his friends seen him since Urahara's party?" Ichigo threw back with voice that shook with anger.

"If you must know, he has been sick and still is. I did not think that it would be good for him to be outside since it would most likely make his condition worse."

"Damn he good" Ichigo thought. He was brought out of his thoughts when he felt Ukitake's warm hand on his shoulder.

"I know that you are worried about your friend Ichigo but this to take it too far" the thirteenth captain said with a sad smile.

"Sorry to have bothered you Byakuya" he said and dragged the other with him.

"But captain, Renji told me that Byakuya was hurting him." The orange haired man tried.

"If that's true we need evidence Ichigo. You can't just throw out those kind of accusations without making it look like you're just trying to ruin the Kuchiki clan's marriage" Ukitake said in a serious voice.

"But please believe me." There was a long pause before the captain spoke again.

"If you can give me proof of that Byakuya has been hurting Renji, then you have my full support."

"Consider it done" Ichigo said and took of running.

"Hold on Renji. I'm going to save you"
