Byakuya was bored. This wasn't something he was use to attending since these functions served no purpose but Rukia had simply pressed him to experience it just one time so he had agreed. He was just getting settled in when a neko maid walked up to him and offered a drink. He considered ignoring her, but there was something about this girl that he couldn't place so he took the drink with a small nod in thanks. The girl looked like she wanted to say something, but wasn't sure what to say first so he ended up watching her leave rather quickly. With a small shrug, he took his first drink of the night.

Shiori hid behind one of the barracks and groaned to herself. She had wanted Byakuya all this time and the one chance she had to talk to him without him knowing it was her she had blown it. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid, Shiori!" She growled to herself before sliding down to the ground and hugging her knees. "If there weren't so many people around…" She muttered before an idea hit her. "Of course." She smiled and shunpoed back to her barracks and was back before anyone could have noticed she had been gone.

"Captain, you didn't?!" Nanao asked as she stood facing Shunsui with a mix of anger and shock on her face.

"What? Do you really think I would spike the punch with a love potion?" Shunsui asked as he laid on the roof top while chewing on a straw of grass.

"You seem to be having a great time with all the girls." Now the shock in her voice was turning to hurt.

"It doesn't mean anything Nanao-chan." Shunsui replied as he lifted up his hat. "I stand by what I mean, you are the only girl I have ever paid any attention to."

"That's the spiked punch talking."

"No, Nanao, I have only given one other girl a nickname."

Nanao knew who he was referring to, the one that helped her to read and the previous Vice Captain, Lisa Yadōmaru. But she still couldn't accept the fact that he was speaking from the heart, that is, until he sat up and pulled her down before locking her into his strong arms.

"Nanao-chan, you're the only one I've ever loved." He whispered into her ear. Nanao had been about to smack Shunsui upside the head with her beloved book, but it fell from her hand and slide off the roof s she fully realized he was telling the truth.

"Captain…"

"Please, call me Shunsui when we're alone."

"Ca…Shu…Shunsui." She breathed as she tried getting used to saying his name for once.

"Yes Nanao-chan?"

"Do you… really love me?"

"With all of my heart." He pulled the straw of grass out before kissing Nanao passionately on her lips. She didn't respond at first, but soon leaned into the kiss.

Shiori sat in a tree and smiled as she brought out her flute and put it too her lips. She hadn't spiked the goblet so whatever Byakuya felt would be his own emotions, she just hoped that he could learn to love again and with that thought, began to play the melody she first played for him a month ago.

Byakuya was just standing up to find Rukia when he heard the strange mystical music playing. Instantly he could tell it came from the same instrument and the way the notes were played, he knew it was the same person playing the song. Instead of finding Rukia, he searched for the source of the music and found that when he looked at a particular tree, the music changed location so he followed after the mysterious flute player. However, the longer he listened to the music, the more the drink seemed to affect him and if he didn't know better, he was thinking the flute player was leading him on as if it was a game and Byakuya didn't like games. After removing the Ambassador Seaweed costume somewhere, he followed quicker but could never quite catch up to the music.

Their game of music tag took them through the woods and when he finally broke through the last line of trees into a clearing, he saw a familiar looking neko maid from the back. And the source of the mystical music was coming from her.

Shiori finished the last note and silently opened her eyes to gaze out at the midnight blue water that reflected the full moon above them. "It's beautiful is it not Byakuya-sama." She spoke quietly, as if afraid she would shatter the peace by speaking louder.

"You were the one that played that music the first night when I caught you."

"And the second time. And now for the third time." Shiori turned and looked at Byakuya, unsure how to proceed now that they were alone.

"The music is very captivating." Byakuya broke the silence. "But why did you play it near me?"

"Because I'm in love with you Byakuya-sama." Shiori admitted honestly. "I can't tell you why, but I feel calm when you're nearby, like everything around us will be all right in the end."

Byakuya was taken aback, not having expected a confession of love. Did he love her too? No, that wasn't possible since he barely knew her. "What did you do to my drink?"

"Nothing, whatever you're feeling now are true feelings." Shiori replied and could see he was still doubtful. "I swear on my honor, and the rank that I currently hold; that I did not add anything to your drink except for two drops of water."

Byakuya wasn't sure what to say to that. He knew that to most Shinigamis, the rank they reached were a badge of honor for them and he could see that she was no exception. "Tell me your name."

"Shiori, third seat of squad 2." Shiori replied, now starting to feel nervous that he might reject her right then and there.

"Shiori." Byakuya tried out the name and found it came to him even smoother than Hisana's name had, even with Hisana, it had taken him a while before he could love her but yet with Shiori… it was different, almost as if it was perfect. "I would be honored if you would have me at your side."

Shiori nearly jumped for joy when he said those words but managed to keep her calm as she was still speaking to a head of one of the four great families. Silently, but with a sincere smile, she walked over to Byakuya and hugged him while he returned her hug with his own.

She was surprised when his lips touched her neck which caused her to shiver a little, but from the cool air or his lips, she wasn't quite sure but it felt good. He then reached up and pulled the maid sleeve away from her neck before sucking on her collarbone which caused her to moan softly as she ran her fingers through his hair. Soon it wasn't enough and she was going to voice it when Byakuya merely pulled the maid top off and undoing the cloth to allow her C-cup breasts to be free.

With a smile, Byakuya held onto one breast as he used his thumb to brush over the nipple, causing it to stiffen immediately and for her to moan. However, the moan quickly turned into a gasp which melted into a louder moan as Byakuya took the other nipple into his mouth and grazed his teeth over it. Kneeling in front of Shiori, he looked at her toned stomach, flat and unmarked and found it beautiful. He said so which caused her to blush a little but she knew there was no point in hiding her stomach when he had already seen her boobs. Giving her belly button a kiss, he made short work of the bottom part but he didn't go any further with undressing her partly because Shiori had put a hand between his eyes and her panties.

"I wish to see you." Byakuya spoke softly as he guided her down onto her back onto the bed of leaves while she made the nya sound, then she slowly moved her hand away to let Byakuya remove the last barrier to her. With the panties gone, he took a moment to admire her in nothing but the cat ears and tail and her stockings before a scent rose to his nose, curious to find the source, he silently recalled Hisana had a different scent but that it originated from the same place. Without anything holding him back, he parted her legs to see a thin layer of moisture forming on her vaginal lips so he leaned down and gave an experimental lick.

Shiori nearly jumped as she felt his tongue probing in her yet it was too pleasurable so why tell him to stop? "Byakuya… don't stop." She moaned while spreading her legs more to give him better access. Quickly losing track of time, she could feel a burning sensation growing within her womb and at first it was warm, but as Byakuya continued to eat her out, the hotter it got. Soon she began to thrust his hips into his face while she gripped his hair to make sure he didn't pull back or anything.

Byakuya had no intention of letting Shiori suffer by pulling away so he just pushed his tongue in far as he could managed. Feeling her grabbing his hair, he grabbed her waist and pulled her to him while licking all the juices he could get. Shiori meanwhile was starting to get vocal about cumming so he moved his mouth up and sucked on her clit.

Feeling Byakuya sucking on her clit, she cried out with one last thrust upwards as she felt the hot juices explode from her, covering Byakuya's face before he could get his mouth in position to drink her sweet nectar, all the while just holding a finger on her clit so every time she started coming down from her orgasm, her body sent another spasm of pleasure through her which resulted in another orgasm. Finally, her body signaled that it needed to rest and Shiori panted from the workout she had received from Byakuya although she couldn't explain why she suddenly felt extremely giddy. "That… felt…so…good." She said, each word was followed by a giggle and Shiori felt like she was on cloud nine. Watching Byakuya remove the scarf, she slid it from his hands and held it against her cheek to feel the warm and softness of it and to inhale his scent and such as she was caught up in it, Byakuya had already removed the Haori and the Shihakushō top before she realized it. Sitting up, she stopped Byakuya's hands from undoing the obi and held the scarf towards him. "Please wear it?" She asked softly as the giddiness began to fade.

Byakuya paused as he looked from the scarf to Shiori, part of him didn't want a symbol of the Kuchiki clan on him during this night but the other part wanted to please Shiori. For him, it really only took a minute to debate it, but it was one of those eternity feelings. Taking the scarf from Shiori, he put it around his neck much like he always wore it and in that time span; Shiori had managed to untie his obi and was working on his hakama so he let her be. As hid dick was freed, he couldn't held to shiver as the warmth met the cool air but he didn't need to wait long before Shiori had his dick in her hand and stroking it. Unlike most functions as the head, when Shiori hesitantly kissed the head of his dick, he moaned his pleasure instead of staying silent. Looking down at Shiori, he watched as his dick disappeared into her mouth, the sight causing his dick to twitch in her mouth and she smiled the best she could.

She didn't keep his dick in her mouth for too long and when she pulled back, a thin strand of saliva connected her still until she wiped it away before stroking him as she found his balls. With a light touch, she took them into her hand and didn't notice that Byakuya had tensed up but she felt him relax after a minute of her fondling him. While she pumped him, she could feel his dick pulsing in her hand so she figured she would explore his balls later and gladly took his dick back into her mouth to suck on it.

Byakuya couldn't believe that she was doing a pretty good job and when she started to slowly lick him from balls to tip, he was sure his knees would give out but they didn't. Feeling the warm wetness of her mouth enclosing around him, he put a hand on the back of Shiori's head but still let her control the action with his body responding where no voices were. Feeling the hot cum churning in him, he slowly moved his hips forward as Shiori came in and hit the back of her throat but she didn't gag and they both found it enjoyable.

Without much warning from Byakuya, his first shoot of cum hit the back of her throat which caused her to pull back and take the next couple of shots to the face before she recovered enough and closed her mouth around his pulsing dick. She wasn't sure if she would enjoy the taste, but she felt it would be rude to let his cum go to waste when he had drunk hers so she swallowed to clear her mouth. Feeling the intensity of the cumshots dying down, Shiori removed her mouth before planting a kiss on the tip. With a smile, Shiori proceeded to wipe her face off while Byakuya sat down besides her and they shared the first kiss, tasting their cum on the other's lips. She had planned to let him rest for a few minutes, but a glance at his dick told her he didn't need rest.

Placing a hand onto his shoulder, she rolled him onto his back before kneeling over him. Lowering herself, she rubbed her pussy on his dick which caused them both pleasure but also the need for more. Without waiting, she held his dick before finding her hole and sunk her body down on him, causing her to throw her head up and moaning loudly but she didn't move for a minute so she could relish the feeling of being filled by Byakuya. "I wish I could keep your dick in me forever." She said with a smile before leaning down and kissing him.

"You may have it whenever you wish." Byakuya replied after the kiss ended for he wanted to stay buried into her forever, to be able to feel the soft moist velvet all the time.

"I might take you up on that offer." Shiori giggled as she started to slide back and forward while he thrusted up in time to meet her coming back. After a while, Byakuya lifted Shiori off and rolled her onto her side before he got behind her and lifted her leg so he could enter her pussy from behind and while he made love to her, he also nipped at her neck while playing with her boobs. Sometimes Shiori would have her hand on his, other times she would rub herself or play with his balls with the only sounds being their moans or the whispers of names. Byakuya could tell that Shiori was getting close as her hand sped up masturbating her clit and the walls were tightening up, making him have to pull out harder for her pussy sucked him right back in until they both hit their orgasms at the same time. Shiori's coating his dick and thighs while his shot deep into her, only being stopped by the cervix.

Together they laid like that as Byakuya's dick began to shrink and Shiori could feel his cum oozing its way out of her just as the first ray of sunlight shone through the trees. "I thought you were beautiful, Shiori, not a mark on you until now." Byakuya said as he traced the scar on her back. "But now you're more beautiful."

"Why?" Shiori asked tiredly as she snuggled into his body.

"Because it means that you're not perfect, to me, that makes you unique and that is better than perfect." Byakuya answered, but whatever reply he was going to receive never came as Shiori had fallen asleep. With a smile, he snuggled into her after pulling the Haori over them and joined in sleep.
