Twisted Love Story

Disclaimer: Again, I don't own Bleach or any of it's characters. Just my OC's. And I want to thank Monk Gyatso! I went over the chapters that I posted and I realized that I hadn't even described Gail! How that happened, I have no clue. And this chapter's kindof long.

Chapter 5: Silenced Anger

Uryuu was careful as not to wake the beauty in his arms as he entered his domain, the doors of his castle opening upon his command. His servants gathered around him, hiding themselves in the shadows as he walked down hallway after hallway until he finally reached Gail's room. "Rukia, Orihime, I need you two to have Miss Gail's bed clothes out. Renji, I want you to go down to the cellar and bring a bottle of blood to my room. Ichigo, stand gaurd beside our guests' room and if she comes out, alert me as soon as possible. Now that you have your orders, get to work." The shadows lingered for a moment before heading off to their destinations. Two of the shadows soon took the forms of two young women, one shortand thin with black hair, fair skin and violet eyes; the other had a large bust, with orange hair, grey eyes and slightly tanned skin. Both were dressed in similar maid uniforms with the simple black dress and white apron.

They bowed in front of him before heading off to the tall white closet, whispering amongst themselves. Uryuu shook his head as he summoned the armchair to him, taking care as to not wake the girl. She sighed contently in her sleep, snuggling closer to him. Had he been human, his face would've been a bright red as her hand stroked his chest lightly. "Can you two hurry up?" He whispered harshly to the two maids, looking down at sleeping maiden who was playing with his shirt collar. She looked so peaceful, her fair skin now flushed as though she was having a nightmare. Uryuu placed a cool hand on her forehead only to draw it back hastily; Gail was burning up and her fever was getting worse. "Orihime, can you go get some cold water? Our guest has a fever." Orihime stopped what she was doing and walked over to her master, placing a hand on the girl's forehead. She too drew it back quickly and resumed her shadow form, racing downstairs to get what her master asked for.

Uryuu gently stroked the side of her face, brushing a lock of her dark brown hair out of her face. "Milord..." Rukia tapped him on the shoulder, causing him to turn to her. "You can put her down on the bed. It will only take a few minutes." He only nodded, gently laying Gail on her bed and exiting the room with haste. "Uryuu, what did you go to Rangiku for?" Uryuu stopped and pushed up his glasses, his back to the orange hair servant. "I don't know how many times I've told you to call me Master Ishida or Milord, Ichigo. But what I went to her for is my business." Ichigo scowled as the shorter man turned to him, getting a glimpse of his red eyes. "And it is wise for you not to ask. Lest you want to end up in the dungeons, chained like your brother." Ichigo backed away, his brown eyes blazed with anger at the mention of his brother. "Please, forgive me of my impertanence, Master Ishida." He drawled the name out as though it were poison, bowing mockingly.

Uryuu glared at him, then resumed his path to his room. Ichigo pulled himself to his full height and sighed, waiting as Rukia emerged from the dark room. "Rukia, do you think she can save him?" Ichigo muttered, watching his retreating figure disappear into the darkness of the castle. "Only if she can come to forgive him for what he's done to her. But then again, the way he acted earlier was enough to push her to the point where she wanted to leave." She shook her head in disappointment, pressing her hand against her temple. "Then there is no hope for him or us unless he is granted her forgiveness." Ichigo muttered sadly, not realizing that their master had been listening the whole time. "I'm going to go to the kitchen and see what we have left. When Miss Gail wakes up, she'll be hungry." Rukia returned to her shadow form and flew down the stairs, leaving Ichigo blushing. Uryuu slipped into the dark as she passed, sliding down against the wall until he was sitting on the floor.

'Ichigo's right though. If I don't earn her forgiveness and her love in six months, then we're all doomed to the Underworld. But how do I win her heart?' He sighed, picking himself off the floor and continuing to his room. Once there, Uryuu sat down in his armchair in front of a blazing fire and picked up the bottle of blood. "A positive. Just what I needed." He smirked at his sarcasm, opening the bottle and pouring the crimson liquid into the wineglass sitting next to it. Uryuu brought the glass to his lips just as Ichigo came bursting through the door, nearly knocking the glass from his hand as he grabbed his wrist. "Ichigo, what is the meaning of this?" Uryuu shouted, practically being dragged out of his room. "Ichigo! What the hell is going on? I order you to stop and tell me at once!" Ichigo obliged to his demand, turning to him with serious eyes. "It's Miss Gail, Milord. Her fever's much worse than before and the cut is starting to fester. Rukia thinks that she could've been poisoned by the hollow that gave her that scratch on her cheek." Uryuu didn't have time to think.

Faster than Ichigo could grab him, he was standing next to the door of Gail's room, watching as a number of maids emerged and bustled about trying to get the proper materials to heal their guest. "Orihime, how is she?" Uryuu made his way through, now standing by the busty maid as she tried her best to heal the cut. "Not in good condition. We just need to keep her fever down, then we might have a chance. But after that, I don't think we can do it without professional help." Orihime turned back to the cut, wiping away the thick yellow pus as it slid down Gail's cheek. Uryuu growled before leaving, slamming the door shut for good measure. "Dammit, I guess I have no other choice."

"A very peaceful morning, don't you agree, Isane?"

Isane looked up, brushing a few strands of silver hair out of her eyes and then sipping her tea. "Yes, it is quite peaceful. Though I do hope they find Gail soon and that she isn't injured. She really is sweet- Miss Unohana?" Isane stood up, only to have her captain step in front of her. "It's alright, I don't think he will attack us." Unohana glanced at the figure hidden amongst the trees, then returned to her tea. "You can come down now, vampire. I'm sure you have a reason for coming here while the sun has risen." Uryuu lept down from the branch had been sitting on, tugging his cloak closer to him. "Isane, bring me my medical kit please while I talk with our guest." Isane bowed and left quickly, uncertain as she closed the door. "Now, who is injured this time, Mister Ishida?" Unohana smiled as he sat in front of her, once again pulling his cloak tighter to him. "If I told you it was a young woman with long, dark brown hair, fair skin, and eyes the glowed like emeralds, I think you would behead me on the spot."

"You're right, unfortunatly. So, Gail's at your castle? How, might I ask, did she get there?" Unohana smiled, which sent a shiver up Uryuu's spine. "I-I-I kidnapped her and threatened her family. But she ran away from me when I tried to explain things and was chased down by a group of hollows. She was injured by one of them and the wound is beginning to fester. My servants are cleaning it up the best they can, but they're not sure if she'll survive the fever." Uryuu bowed his head, a small tear landing on the floor. "I have no one to blame but myself and she's my last chance. If she dies, then I've doomed not only myself but my servants to an eternity in the Underworld." He sobbed, trying so hard to keep his desperation in. Unohana pulled a small hankerchief from her pocket and handed it to him, sighing with exhaustion. "I'll take a look at her. As long as the wound is kept clean, there's still a chance she can be saved."

"She's in here." Uryuu opened the door just as Rukia was coming out with an armful of rags and bandages, causing him to step aside and allow her to pass. "Has anyone given her any antiseptic in the past hour?" Unohana asked, only to get a negative head shake from Orihime. "Good. As long as she doesn't have any on the wound, then the anti-venom should work." Orihime got up, and allowed Unohana to take her place at the bedside. "Just last night, she was enjoying herself at the festival. Uryuu, if she gets through this, I won't be the only one after your head." Unohana looked over at him, a gentle smile on her lips. "She's in good hands now. Why don't you go get some rest? You've been up past sunrise and I'm pretty certain that you're exhausted." Uryuu shook his head, only to stifle a yawn. "You see? Go on now, shoo! I'll wake you when I'm finished and you can see if you can talk to her."

Unohana turned back to the wound, pulling out a vial of clear liquid and a needle. Uryuu didn't stay to watch; He left just as Gail moaned in pain as the neeedle was injected into her arm. "If she'll let me say anything." Uryuu sighed and retreated down the hallway again, passing numerous servants carrying clean linens as he continued to his room. "Hey Uryuu!" He cringed, but kept going and hoped he could out run that annoying voice behind him. "Weird to see you out in the sun. Trying to get a tan to charm that lovely lady that's sleeping down the hall? Man, she's cute. I bet you've already got her falling head over heels for you-"

WHACK!

"Shut up Pesche. I'm not in the mood to listen to your prattle." Uryuu sent the blonde arrancar flying into a pillar, his fist clenched and bloody. The blonde arrancar slid down the pillar and landed on his head, muttering a number of curses under his breath. "What was that for? I mean, yeah, you usually tell me to shut up, but smacking me so hard that I go flying? Man, who pissed in your blood today?" Pesche got up and follwed him, only to stop when they got to the west wing. "I just need to sleep for a few hours and don't you have somewhere to be?" Pesche squeaked before running off, leaving a rather pissed off Uryuu behind. "I swear, if he's the one that wakes me up, I'll be putting an arrow up his ass." He muttered, walking down the west wing hallway to his room.

After slamming the door for the upteenth time that day, Uryuu plopped down in his chair again, bringing the forgotten glass of blood to his lips and taking a sip. "I don't see how I can win her over. Flowers, chocolates, promises I don't intend to keep... well, that last one will get me slapped again. She seems to like books though. I wonder if she's read any that are in my library. Or if she has any that she hasn't read yet." Uryuu stared at the now blazing fire, massaging his temple in annoyance. "Milord, may I come in? Miss Unohana sent me to make sure you got some rest. You better be sleeping when I come in there in five...four...three...two...one!" The doors burst open to reveal another maid, only she had brown hair and eyes, black retangular rimmed glasses, pale skin, and a pair of fox ears and nine tails. Uryuu glared at her at he was struggling with his nightshirt, her eyes wide with embarrasment at the sight of her master half dressed.

"Briana..." He growled, only to have the dreaded piece of clothing yanked over his head, his glasses falling to the floor and landing next to the maids feet. "If you needed help, all you had to do was ask. I've seen guys half naked before anyway." Briana picked up his glasses and slipped them onto his face, pushing them up with a clawed finger. "You mean you've seen Byakuya half naked. I'm your master; You should've knocked." Briana pulled back with a sigh, her tails swishing around her. "I know, but then you would've ignored me and I would've been standing out there for hours, which would've made me miss my appointment with Byakuya." She turned back to the door and started to walk away when she felt a cold hand on her wrist. "Wait, um, can I ask you something? What does it take for a man to win a woman over?" Briana pulled away, hand on her chin as though she was thinking.

"Well, to be honest, I don't know. It all depends on the woman and what her interests are. We don't fall for the same things, you know. What works on me can't work on Miss Gail. Though, every woman has one similar weakness. And that would be...cheesecake!" Briana held up a plate with a slice of strawberry cheesecake on it, grinning as Uryuu stared at her as though she had grown another head. "...Nevermind. I'll figure out something while I sleep." He muttered, turning to the white coffin in front of him. Briana sighed again and walked over to it, opening the lid for him. "Enjoy your rest, Master Ishida." Uryuu rolled his eyes at that, placing his glasses on the nightstand and then slipping into the coffin's soft, red velvet interior. Briana began to close the lid just as he got comfortable, letting it go as soon as she was sure he was asleep.

"You had better come up with something soon. Otherwise, we're all screwed." She muttered, grabbing th bottle of blood and the wineglass, then left as though she had never been there.

Gail's emerald green eyes fluttered open, signaling to Unohana that she was awake. "Ah, welcome back to the world of the living." Gail jumped at her voice, recognizing it immeadiatly. "Miss Unohana!" She quickly got out of bed and hugged the older woman, tears pricking the corners of her eyes. "There now, no need to cry. You're alive and that's all that matters." Gail looked up at her, trying to hold back a sob. "You came to take me from this awful place, right? I don't want to end up like those other girls." Unohana sighed before letting go her, leading her back into bed. She sat next to her, rubbing her shoulder gently. "I know. But why not stay and get to know Uryuu? I know he's kidnapped you and threatened your family, but you should at least give him a chance." Gail watched her as she got up, packing up her medical supplies and turning to her as she held the door open. "If you do, you'll find that he's not all that bad to be around. Believe me, I should know." And with that, she left a dazed Gail sitting on the bed, her eyes filled with puzzlement.

'Give him a chance? No, he's a vampire, a blood sucking demon, a creature of the night! But, he did save me, twice for that matter.' She grabbed her bedrobe and slipped it on, looking both ways before stepping out of her room. 'I guess it wouldn't hurt to see what he's like. But if he pulls something, I'm running out of this place like it was hell.'

Yeah, I started this last night and now it's up! But anyway thanks for the reviews so far! And I added the cheesecake part for my friend, who happens to love cheesecake.
