Burning Down the Mountain

Ch.4: Captives Play

"Alright you mangy dogs scatter." The red head barked snapping the laughing bandits in order. His sharp brown eyes had not left Ichigo. "It looks like your bosses have business." Once the last bandits had left he moved to sit down to the left of the dark haired leader. He sat with his legs spread. He was a fit specimen of a man with toned arms and legs covered in old scars and gashes. His visible limbs and face were decorated in a very distinct black pattern called tattooing, Shiro had heard occurred somewhere in the Far East.

"Well, well it seems like the nobles' in this part of the world ain't that bright." The monstrous brunette who was currently sitting on the right side of the dark haired leader jeered. He cracked his large knuckles and rubbed his eye patch. "To bad my bed's full or I'd certainly take one of 'em off your hands." He leaned back resting his arms behind his head and yawned. He was much larger than anyone else in the room. His skin was a different shade of tan indicating he too was an outsider. "So what has the cat dragged in?"

The dark haired leader continued to look at the two noble sons through analytical stone grey eyes. He had yet to utter a word, not because he was insulted by the boy's statement but merely because he was surprised this boy was here. Stone grey continued to hold a captive audience with a pair of warm curious brown eyes.

Grimmjow motioned to Ichigo, "Apologize."

Ichigo turned to the blue haired man. "For what? She is beautiful. Why do I have to apologize to her for that?" The orange haired teen snapped angrily. "Just because she's living a hard unlawful life does not mean she cannot be beautiful. If she agreed right now to stop this foolish behavior I'd take her home to be my wife."

The large brunette snorted before falling over in a fit of laughter. "Oh for the love of Non." Tears were falling from the man's eyes. "The brat gave a mighty fine confession."

The red head growled standing up. "And what do you know about anything. I should just rip you-" His words fell silent when a pale hand rose ever so calmly into the air.

"That's enough Renji." The leader finally spoke. His voice was calm and cold like a frozen pond. It commanded attention and demanded obedience. "I do believe this noble son is confused." The dark haired leader stood up and slowly undid the strings around his collar causing his shirt to open. "Let me introduce myself," He noticed the blush on Ichigo's face. "I am Byakuya and I am the leader of this group." He informed the two sons as he moved to open his shirt. "I am also a man."

Ichigo's blush deepened as his eyes took in the sight of Byakuya's pale well-toned and muscular chest. His eyes roamed over toned pecks and slowly took in the sights. Ichigo's heart beat wildly in his chest. He imagined how firm and smooth that skin would feel under his fingertips and maybe even under his lips. He had never felt this way about any maiden he had seen before. Actually he preferred to hide when his father spoke of marriage contracts to eligible maidens in and around the kingdom.

"Nii-san you're drooling…" Shiro replied shutting his brother's mouth as Renji got up and blocked Byakuya from view. The red head had turned his back to them and was seemingly having a discussion with Byakuya. The discussion ended after a few moments with Renji kicking a bucket and storming out of the tent.

Grimmjow sighed, "Look I didn't bring them here to cause dispute. I brought them so we can decide what to do with them." He returned the attention of Byakuya and Kenpachi to the matter at hand. "Keeping them here is dangerous but letting them go presents a larger problem."

"We could kill them." Kenpachi offered scratching his long brown hair to relieve an itch.

"Our stay is still in agreement for a few more days. It has given the caravans time to regain confidence with trade in that city." Byakuya replied retying the string of his shirt. ". Grim, you have room in your tent for one more take them with you."

Grimmjow was about to protest.

"Tell your partner I ordered it." Byakuya replied looking in the direction Renji had gone. "That is all, Kenpachi, Grim." He bowed his head slightly and left the tent.

Kenpachi left mumbling about what might be for dinner back at his tent.

Grimmjow groaned and lead them out of the tent. "Great now I'm stuck babysitting." He complained as he led them through camp.

Shiro turned to his brother, "What was all that about?" he asked looking at his brother concerned. "You looked enamored with that guy."

"I think I might be." Ichigo replied unable to shake the other man's image from his mind. This was new for him but it felt oddly familiar at the same time.

Across camp, Renji opened the flap on his tent and taking off his shirt. He'd kill that brat how dare he look upon Lord Byakuya's body like that. As if the former noble was no better than a common wench, the lust in the teen's eyes was enough to make Renji commit murder. He dunked his head in a small water bath before moving further into the tent. His boisterous entrance had not arouse the sleeping man in his furs. Seeing the other made all the anger Renji felt towards the orange haired teen dissipate.

He walked over to the bed of furs and kneeled down running a large hand through the sleeping man's short black hair.

The other was sleeping with his back towards the tent flap on his side. His bare chest rose and fell calmly indicating a peaceful sleep.

Renji kneeled closer and gently ghosted his fingers over the vertical scars along the man's face. He leaned down and kissed the other's sleeping lips happy to feel it reciprocated.

Strong tan arms wrapped around Renji's neck pulling him down onto the bed. With the kiss broken calm brown eyes looked into restless brown and the waking man sat up. Calm fingers traced black tattoos along Renji's face. "What's the matter?"

Renji avoided the other's words and kissed him again pushing him back into the bed of furs. "Later." The red head mumbled into his ear as he began to remove the sleeping man's clothes.

The other nodded as he began undoing the string on Renji's pants adjusting the waist so he could fit him hand inside. A throaty moan escaped the redhead when knowing fingers embraced his member.

Renji moved to lie down beckoning the other forward. "I want to see all of you." He replied pulling some sheets away from the other's body. "Hisagi is very pleasing…" Renji praised as he moved to straddle the other's lap then continued to slide down his body.

Shuuhei smiled at Renji and let out a groan when the other leaned forward and took him into his mouth. Renji's tongue was masterful and his skill set was diverse and magnificent. Shuuhei could not help but rock his hips into the other's inviting heat, his own task of bringing Renji to completion forgotten. The red head pulled Shuuhei up and continued his assault on the other. He found a lot of joy in this soldier's body and had no intention of ever letting him go. That's why he's spread the rumor Shuuhei had been killed. Just when Shuuhei's belly began to tighten Renji pulled away leaving the other unfulfilled and letting out a string of curses. The red head smiled and wiped his mouth.

Shuuhei sat up and looked deep into the red head's lust filled brown eyes. The anger had dissipated which was good. That would mean Renji would certainly be in a talking mood later. Shuuhei reached behind the bedding to furs to retrieve a bottle when Renji stopped him reaching into his back pocket to reveal a new slim bottle.

Shuuhei looked at the red head distrustfully as the other popped the cork and preceded to rub some of the ointment on his fingers.

Renji noted instantly it had a pleasant smell and left his fingers feeling tingly and on edge.

The red head's callous fingers began to rub the liquid down the other's thighs and copiously on his shaft.

Shuuhei's head fell back and he let out an audible cry as his groin was lit a fire with passion. He cried out when Renji's touch left him and moved to massage his groin himself. It was not painful as much as it was pleasantly agonizing.

Renji held Shuuhei's hands in his. "No that's cheating." He teased seeing the distressed look in Shuuhei's eyes. He leaned forward and kissed the other enjoying his taste on Shuuhei's lips. He smirked when the other took their closeness as a chance to grate their hips together. Renji groaned as the ointment rubbed off of Shuuhei onto him.

Before long the two were grappling with one another for whom would be on top. The battle ended when Shuuhei grabbed Renji's long hair and held him down. (Who really fights fair when you're high on pleasure and endorphins anyway?)

Renji let out a groan as he was entered by the other man. He let out a grunt when Shuuhei began to move. He let out a string of curses when even after two releases Shuuhei was still going strong and he had no want for the other to stop.

Finally Shuuhei collapsed onto Renji's chest spent and completely sated. He was still buried in the other and made no effort to remedy the situation.

Renji groaned coming out of his post orgasmic high rolling them over so Shuuhei was under him. The other let out a low hiss as Renji slowly rose his hips freeing himself of the other. Renji collapsed onto his back and sighed. That had been fantastic. He would have to thank Hanataro again in the morning. For now he pulled the sleeping soldier closer to him and drifted off to sleep, dawn was still hours away.

Grimmjow made sure to securely tie Ichigo and Shiro to a post in his tent. He had already dealt with the volatile melt down that came with introducing them to his partner. Ulquiorra was not very big on sharing his space or Grimmjow with just anyone. He had reacted violently when he saw the way Grimmjow handled Ichigo and then Shiro. He was very insecure about their relationship do to events in the past and anything that set to upset their balance was something Ulquiorra would seek out and destroy.

Shiro looked over to where the pale dark haired man slept in the fur bedding. He had never quite seen two people have sex like that before. The man currently tying his hands had been so rough and forceful but you could sense the desire was there. He was still in bit in shock that they had had sex with him and Ichigo still in the room. Shiro turned to see Ichigo was still unconscious from when he had collapsed.

"Is he your servant?" Shiro asked breaking the silence as Grimmjow finished tightening his bonds.

A blue eyebrow rose. "Who?" He asked following Shiro's line of sight to Ulquiorra. He chuckled. "No, we're lovers."

"Lover's don't do what the two of you just did. That might as well have been rape." Shiro accused gasping as the sudden tightness of his bondage.

Grimmjow's electric blue eyes snapped to Shiro's and his grip on the other tightened. "Don't run your mouth about things you don't understand. What would a virgin like you know about sex anyway?" he released the teen watching him fall to the floor with an audible thud. "I don't care whose son you are. You ever say something like that to me again and I will cut your tongue out."

With that promise Grimmjow blew out the lantern and settled himself in the furs beside Ulquiorra to get some sleep.
