Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach it belongs to Tite Kubo.
A/N: Thanks so much for the comments, favs, and alerts. I thought there would be more not-so-positive QT comments I guess you all don't dislike him as much as Miko , love or hate him I don't mind. Enough about QT, this new chapter is another one I've been itching to finish and to share. It's hmm, well I am going to let you decide ;)
QT told Yoruichi he had taken care of everything and that there was no need to worry and that worried her. The entire situation worried her. She could feel Byakuya move further away with each step as he escorted her home. Yoruichi had had high hopes for the dinner, but all those were quickly squashed by the truth and a sweet but inappropriate gift. Yoruichi couldn't sleep every time she closed her eyes all she could see was the disappointment on Byakuya's face. It was the same face she wanted to avoid seeing 100 years ago. Now she would have to face disappointment she caused.
Yoruichi needed to do something she needed to move. The weight of the past was starting to get heavy again. She transformed into her cat form and started to run. The cool night air streaked across her black fur as she raced across rooftops. She basked in the freedom she could only find in her cat form. No one noticed her. She blended into the darkness so many feared but she enjoyed.
Yoruichi traveled an all too familiar path and ended up at an old friend's house. She watched Byakuya from one of the rooftops. He was by his koi pond. Her tail perked up as she thought that maybe things were all right and he was just planning for tomorrow. Then she saw a part of his face in the moonlight there was no peace. She started to leap down and to talk to him but second-guessed that thought. I doubt he would want to see me in my cat form. Byakuya's previous words played loudly in Yoruichi's ears"you couldn't even come here as woman you came as cat", he'd probably see it as an insult. She twitched her tail and pondered transforming and speaking to him but he never found any humor in her sudden transformations. The last thing she wanted to do was push him further away she could already feel the distance between them growing. She crouched down and watched him from a far. Byakuya sat and watched the koi in the moonlight for almost two hours and Yoruichi sat and watched him until he entered his home.
-Next Morning—
Byakuya had been distracted all day by QT's comments, Yoruichi's confession, and the koi. He even had problems focusing in the Shinigami Calligraphy Society's meeting. Byakuya actually dismissed the session early much to Renji's joy. Renji left the room before Ukitake could invite him to tea. Byakuya did join Ukitake and Unohana for tea after the meeting he wanted to occupy his time with anything other than thinking about Yoruichi.
Ukitake and Unohana were surprised Byakuya ended the meeting early. The two senior captains were caring and wanted to know if anything was wrong, but Byakuya did not seem interested in participating in the conversation. That was not unusual so Ukitake and Unohana assumed nothing was wrong. Byakuya was once again able to mask his conflict with a tight lip and stone face.
Byakuya sipped his tea and watched how Ukitake and Unohana had a very casual conversation. They seemed so relaxed and free. Ukitake had his arm draped around Unohana's chair. He was laughing at something she said and Unohana placed her hand on his knee.
Byakuya started thinking it would be nice if he and Yoruichi could actually spend some casual time together. Then he thought more about it. It wouldn't work we'd be interrupted by that brat QT, Captain Soi Fon, Vice Captain Omeada, Kisuke, a Shiba, Ichigo, a random service person, even Ukitake humph she's too popular. Byakuya frowned. Apparently, I am not even at the top of her list.
Unohana's gentle voice interrupted Byakuya's thoughts, "Captain Kuchiki is everything alright."
"I'm fine. I will leave you two alone." Byakuya walked away before Unohana or Ukitake could say anything. Byakuya headed back to his manor to check on his shrinking koi collection. At least no one will interrupt us tonight apparently Yoruichi's companions don't appreciate koi.
Byakuya decided it would be best if he worked on his calligraphy for the next two hours. Byakuya would not falter and go see Yoruichi until the appointed time. Most importantly he didn't want Yoruichi to know how badly he wanted to see her the need to see her surprised him. He had thought about her all night he wanted to be angry with her for not coming to say good-bye but she had protected him, which mean she did care about him on some level but not enough to say good-bye.
His mind reminded of that fact over and over as it played Yoruichi's words "Byakuya, I wasn't coming to say good-bye to you" again and again. Then there was QT just the thought of QT caused Byakuya to ruin his brush stroke ruining his calligraphy piece. He knew if he arrived early he and QT would have a "discussion" and QT had already crossed the line and Byakuya would not let that happen again. A discussion with QT would not make his grandfather or the clan happy. Byakuya knew he had to find a way to deal with QT. He would not let QT unravel him. QT was royalty and that made him untouchable. Byakuya would not dishonor his clan by being provoked into an altercation with an arrogant disrespectful brat.
It was finally time for Byakuya to head to the Shihoin mansion. Byakuya arrived at exactly 7:00 PM and Yoruichi had to be awakened from her nap. A yawning Yoruichi emerged from the dark halls of the Shihoin estate within 10 minutes.
"Byakuya why I am not surprised you came at exactly 7:00 PM", she yawned, "I was in the middle of a nice nap."
"Why am I not surprised you were napping?"
Yoruichi smiled at Byakuya's counter. The sleep was finally gone and Yoruichi noticed that Byakuya wasn't wearing his scarf, she had already noticed he wasn't wearing his haori this evening he was looking more like her Byakuya-bo the grown up version which was even better. "You know you'll have to make it up to me later. As I remember you already owed me one nap so now you owe me two."
"Yoruichi, how can someone owe a nap?"
"Technically it's not the nap it is the napping spot." Byakuya looked confused, Yoruichi rolled her eyes. "Let's go Byakuya while there's daylight."
Emeka and Adaeze walked in just as Byakuya and Yoruichi were about to leave.
"Young Kuchiki you're leaving so soon", Adaeze moved closer to Byakuya dragging Emeka with her, "Emeka tell him to stay."
Yoruichi could tell by Emeka's "deer caught in the headlights look" her Pa Pa needed to be rescued. "We can't stay Nin Nin we have to go catch koi and take them back to Byakuya's pond."
Suddenly Emeka was cured from being dumbfounded and asked with a stern look at Byakuya, "What time will you be back?"
Pa Pa you can't be serious you're trying to intimidate Byakuya into bringing me back early from catching koi, of all things. Yoruichi wanted to laugh but she managed to hold it in. "Don't worry I'll be back well before midnight", sooner than you think.
Byakuya and Yoruichi arrived at the Ginrei's koi pound very quickly, mostly because Byakuya wasn't talking and Yoruichi was in a hurry to get
the koi catching over with then maybe she and Byakuya could talk. They found Ginrei at his koi pound. Ginrei stared at Yoruichi as she and Byakuya approached.
"Good evening Yoruichi. Byakuya, I thought you were coming to get the koi this evening."
"I am grandfather."
"And I am here to help."
"Byakuya you brought Yoruichi to help you to catch koi."
"Yes, I took your advice you said I should find someone with speed and patience."
"Byakuya that's not what I", Ginrei covered his mustache with his hand and shook his head, "fine. I'll leave you two alone". Ginrei turned and walked back to his home. He sighed and shook his head the entire way. He couldn't believe Byakuya actually asked Yoruichi to help him catch koi.
"OK Byakuya lets get started so we can get this over with. What do you need me to do?"
"Just sit there", Byakuya pointed to a large stone near the koi pound, "and catch the koi as I toss them to you. Then put them in that tub. We should be finished soon."
Byakuya kneeled at the edge of the koi pond. He waited and waited until the koi he wanted swam close to him and then he tried to grab it, but he missed. He missed four more times and by this time Yoruichi was so bored she could cry or take a nap. After missing the same koi for the fifth time Yoruichi decided to give him some advice.
"Byakuya maybe you have on too many clothes, it's disrupting your flow." Yoruichi meant it as joke but Byakuya to the advice literally. He took off his black kosode and rolled the sleeves of his white shitagi to his shoulders suddenly Yoruichi wasn't bored as she watched the remaining sunlight dance across his firm arms. He laid the kosode on the shore and went back to his position. My, my, Byakuya, hmm "Byakuya maybe you should take the shitagi off as well".
"This should be fine." He kneeled back into position another koi he wanted swam by this time he almost caught it. The slippery silver koi slipped from his grasp splashing him a little.
Yoruichi used the little incident to her advantage. "Byakuya, if you get all wet you're going to catch a cold, warm weather colds are the worst."
Maybe she's right, I wouldn't want to catch a cold it would be most inconvenient. Then much to Yoruichi's delight Byakuya stood up and removed his shitagi. The heat of Yoruichi's eyes racked across Byakuya's bareback. He turned around just as Yoruichi licked her suddenly dry lips. The action caused a disturbance in Byakuya's lower region. He quickly turned around and focused all his energy on catching the koi. This is going to be harder than I thought.
After a couple more tries Byakuya finally caught one. Byakuya half expected a jab from Yoruichi regarding the many tries he took just to catch one koi, but there was no jab just a smile as he tossed her the koi.
Time seemed to pass slowly and Byakuya and Yoruichi had been out at the koi pond for hours in silence but Yoruichi didn't mind she just enjoyed the view. It wasn't everyday she got to see a shirtless Byakuya working hard. Her eyes continued traveling over his bare skin the same way she wished her hands could. He was quite the fine specimen. He wasn't cut or very muscular, but he had a nice lean athletic build. Yoruichi couldn't help but think about Byakuya's firm arms around her waist and the feel of his bare skin against her own. I've should've suggested he remove the hakama before removing the shitagi.
Byakuya caught three more but by then his back was tired and he realized why his grandfather said this was a two-person job. Catching koi was much harder than he expected. The task had taken a long time and now it was nightfall and he still had not caught the orange and black Butterfly koi along with a small Kin-rin.
Yoruichi sensed his tiredness, she could tell by the change in his body language. She knew he was at the point where he would take her help if she offered. "Byakuya would like for me to catch the last ones, I don't mind I did come to help."
"Very well", Byakuya rose to his feet and started walking over to Yoruichi. She didn't say anything she just watched him with predatory eyes, but Byakuya was too tired to notice. "Just grab a Kin-rin and the black and orange Butterfly koi, she's a fast one." Byakuya had spent most of the evening trying to catch the Butterfly koi but she was too slick and too quick.
Yoruichi's thoughts of koi had been pushed aside by the sight of Byakuya's defined chest and hint of a six-pack. She managed to crack out an"Oh OK sure." She moved to the edge of the pond and Byakuya took her spot on the rock. She was surprised by Byakuya's choice many koi owners only preferred traditional koi some even shunned Butterfly koi.
Byakuya started to say something else but he stopped when he saw Yoruichi remove her arm guards and then the elusive red hair tie from around her wrist. Yoruichi tied the hair tie around her neck. All Byakuya could think about was removing the hair tie along with her other clothing 's eyes ran across every inch of Yoruichi's exposed skin he loved looking at her in the moonlight.
Yoruichi was too busy preparing to catch koi to notice the desire in Byakuya's eyes. She immediately saw one of the two koi and pounced she easily caught the Kin-rin. Byakuya was impressed but not very surprised. She is a demon cat, granted a beautiful demon cat. I should've let her start catching koi hours ago.
Next up was the black and orange Butterfly and Yoruichi quickly pounced and she missed. She tried again and she missed again and then again. The koi was very fast. She's too damn fast to be caught this way.
Yoruichi stood up and moved toward Byakuya. "Are you giving up?" His eyes locked with hers for a moment and they dance together in the moonlight. He wanted to touch Yoruichi so badly he had to lightly grab the legs of his hakama to avoid grabbing her.
"No of course not, what's the fun in giving up." Yorucihi grabbed a hand of food and returned to the pond. Yoruichi tossed the food in and all the koi moved to the food. She waited until the Butterfly started eating and then she caught it. Yoruichi smiled her victorious smile as she placed the koi in the tub. "That was easy enough, sometimes you just have to give them what they want."
"I see, then you sneak up on them and catch them. So that's the demon cat way."
"I prefer to call it catching them off guard."
Byakuya quickly put his clothes back on much to Yoruichi's disappointment. She'd hope watched Byakuya's muscles flex as he help carry the tub. Byakuya and Yoruichi carried the tub to his koi pond.
It was almost 11:00 PM when Byakuya and Yoruichi were finished. There was a kind of awkward hesitation between them. They had been together for almost four hours but had barely spoken. Byakuya figured the next move would be to take Yoruichi home but he preferred just standing alone with her dark admiring her beauty in the moonlight. He rubbed the back of his tired neck as he tried to think of something to do or say to avoid taking her home so soon.
Yoruichi noticed the change in his stance and the rubbing of his neck. "Byakuya does your neck and back bother you? You were cramped in an awkward position for quite some time."
Byakuya removed his hand from his neck. "I'll be OK."
"You know I give a great message. It was part of my training, well kind of."
Byakuya raised an eyebrow, "Training"
"Yes, part of my training was learning special pressure points, that along with my magic touch have made me a massage master."
"Oh really".
"C'mon I'll prove it you'll free of pain in no time."
Byakuya was intrigued after learning of Yoruichi's new talent. It would be a perfect reason for her to stay longer. Yes! She would be his for a little longer tonight. "Very well."
Byakuya and Yoruichi entered the Kuchiki manor the first thing Yoruichi noticed was the calligraphy Byakuya had been working on earlier. Byakuya calligraphy sheets were huge. Yoruichi moved to look at Byakuya's work she had not seen his calligraphy in many years. Thoughts of their session with Master Yoshi crossed her mind as she looked at the first sheet. The thoughts brought a small smile to her face. Your calligraphy skills have improved so much, I am glad you held on to something that made you happy. "These are excellent, Byakuya."
Byakuya puffed out his chest just a little at the compliment. Of course they are I, "Oh". Byakuya gently grab Yoruichi by the arm just as she started to look at the other symbols. He quickly pulled her away, "Yoruichi it's getting late you may attend one of the Shinigami Calligraphy Society meetings and view more".
Yoruichi frowned at the thought having to attend a boring Shinigami Calligraphy Society meeting. "I'll think about it, Byakuya."
Normally Byakuya would have shown off his work, but not tonight the last thing he wanted Yoruichi to do was realize he spelled her name out in kanji on separate sheets. Luckily for Byakuya Yoruichi had only seen the sheets he did for elements fire and water. The very next sheet contained the kanji symbol for dark/night, Yoru, and next sheet had the symbol for one, Ichi.
Byakuya was in such a hurry he led Yoruichi to his bedroom without thinking. He opened the door and paused for moment as he realized he had taken her to his bedroom. Yoruichi moved passed Byakuya and into the room. Yoruichi's eyes grew large as she saw the huge mahogany king size bed in the middle of the room. "What a big wonderful bed Byakuya? I bet it's great for napping." She hopped on the bed. "I expected you to have futon."
"I did but Captain Unohana suggested I get one after my first stay in the hospital. It is for medical purposes."
"Oh I see." Yoruichi stared at Byakuya for a moment. He had not moved from the doorway and he wasn't moving. "Byakuya I am good but I am not good, I can't give you a massage if you're standing way over there."
"Oh." Byakuya moved to the bed. He was second-guessing this decision. He was already feeling just a little too good about Yoruichi being in his bed and the thoughts that were playing in his mind did not include medical purposes. Byakuya started to sit down on the opposite side of the bed.
"Byakuya remove your kosode and shitagi first so we can get started". Yoruichi smiled wickedly at him as she waited for him to follow her command. Byakuya turned his back to her and took of his tops. Yoruichi quickly moved the tops from his reach. Byakuya started mentally running through the Gotei's bylaws. He needed to concentrate on something other than the woman waiting on his bed otherwise he'd give into his desires and he wasn't ready to do that yet. He could not afford to be lead blindly by his desires when it came to Yoruichi. His mind cautioned him of the danger.
He turned around and Yoruichi had Byakuya to lie on his stomach. Yoruichi began to massage Byakuya's back. She placed one hand between his shoulder blades over his heart. Her hand was so warm and soft his body started to relax. She began to gently apply pressure using her thumbs along both sides of the spine. Next she used one long smooth delicate stroke and slid both her palms down both sides of his spine until she reach his pelvis. She keep contact with his skin and scooped up around the hips bringing her palms back up to the shoulders and then to his neck. Byakuya let a small moan slip from his lips after the first round of Yoruichi's touch. Yoruichi smiled.So you like this, Byakuya. She completed the same set of touches varying speed two more times and each time the moan got just a little louder. Then suddenly she stopped.
That's it that was a tease. Just as Byakuya was about to express his disappointment and call Yoruichi on her so-called great massage to his pleasure and surprise she straddled part of his lower back and bum. "Yoruichi" she felt Byakuya tense up as he said her name.
"Just relax", she started to knead the muscles at the top of the shoulders. Yoruichi leaned over her upper body lightly touched his bareback causing a tingling sensation where their bodies touched. She whispered in his ear, "This is the best part". She then proceeded to caress his shoulders. Yoruichi felt Byakuya relax under her touch. "Byakuya", she whispered his name but there was no response. "Byakuya," she said his name a little louder and still no response. I can't believe he went to sleep; maybe my massage was too good. Yoruichi decided to leave and let him sleep, but as soon as she moved he caught her off guard and flipped over on top of her pining her to the bed.
Byakuya's resolve was wavering as he stared intently at the dark beauty. He had to act and quickly before he missed his opportunity or fell prey to her stare. Byakuya took a chance and attempted take back his hair tie.
Yoruichi grabbed his hand just as he was about to touch the red hair tie that had eluded him for so long. "Byakuya, you little sneak", Yoruichi looked into his steel eyes she could see the ambers burning, "still too slow." She flashed that infamous Cheshire cat grin at him.
Normally she'd already thought of a 1000 ways to get out of his hold, but this time was different Yoruichi didn't want to escape. She was imprisoned by a need to be close to him. Byakuya you are a handsome man, the words stayed on the tip of her tongue locked behind a coy smile. Yoruichi waited for Byakuya's next move. She expected him to frown at her and then sulk in the corner, he was predictable or so she thought.
Byakuya did not frown or move his stare intensified as his eyes filled with desire. He liked being in this position, the feel of her being beneath him, the comfort of being between her legs. He stared at her admiring the dark beauty's smile. He moved his hand, which Yoruichi thought would be the start him moving away from her but it wasn't he instead made himself more comfortable allowing his body to settle more on top of her. "You know you're very beautiful from this view," he said almost as if he was surprised.
Yoruichi quickly picked up on the tone and a slight frown appeared on her brow line. "Oh so I am not beau-" Yoruichi stopped as Byakuya's lips captured hers in a passionate kiss. Her heart pounded quickly in her chest as soon as their lips touched.
When the kiss finally broke they both were a little breathless. Catching his breath Byakuya whispered, "So very beautiful." He caressed his slender fingers along the side of her cheek.
"Byakuya" Again Byakuya captured Yoruichi's lips with a kiss this time it was even more intense. The intensity of the kiss shocked every nerve in her body. He deepened the kiss and Yoruichi returned the kiss fervently. She ran her hands down his bareback and he moved the kiss from her lips to her chin and down her neck. Yoruichi moved her hands back up his back and ran her slender fingers through his long dark hair. Byakuya began to suckle the exposed skin just above her breast and response Yoruichi brought her right leg up wrapping it along his buttocks bringing their bodies even closer together she wanted to feel every inch of him. It was at this point Byakuya realized that he really should stop and Yoruichi realized that she really didn't want Byakuya to stop. She could feel his desire for her and she enjoyed the feeling. Yoruichi moved her left hand down the side of his stomach and slide her fingertips under his sash. She started sliding her fingers a little deeper in to his hakama as her hand moved more towards the faint trail of hair down the center of his stomach. The thought of where her hand would end up raised Byakuya's excitement to a new level, which they both felt. Yorucihi smiled through their kiss and moved her hand further toward her prize.
Byakuya broke their kiss and pulled his lips reluctantly from hers. "Yoruichi we need to stop." He moved quickly from on top of her a sat beside her on the bed.
Yoruichi popped up. "What?" She did not try hide or mask her confusion and disappointment. "You started this and now you want to stop. Why?"
"If we don't stop now I may not be able to stop later." He moved back closer to her brushed his cheek against hers and whispered, "Besides you're the one that told Emeka you'd be home before midnight," he said with a slight smirk. He kissed her cheek and moved off the bed. He started getting dress so he could take her home. She's probably angry. Byakuya looked over at Yoruichi who had not moved even an inch. She doesn't really look angry, it almost looks as if she's pouting. Yoruichi's pouty mouth actually made her look even more tempting. Byakuya couldn't help but stare at her pouty lips. Then he saw them transform into a smile.
Yoruichi fell back on to the bed. I can't believe you got me Byakuya and you even used my own words. Who knew an evening of catching koi would end up like this?
The fact that Byakuya was able to turn a boring night of catching koi into such pleasurable experience actually heightened her desire for him. She turned and looked him with such desire in her eyes they almost made Byakuya climb back into bed with her. Byakuya, I can't have you wining the entire night. "You're right and it's almost midnight", she smiled seductively.
Byakuya did not respond he did not speak he was afraid of what he might say. He was one that pulled away and he couldn't start it again or could he? Yoruichi stared at him as she crawled over the bed. Moving slowly toward him like cat that targeted her pray and like a mouse Byakuya was completely enchanted by her desire filled eyes. When she finally reached him she moved her hands slowly up his exposed stomach and chest. Her body followed sliding up his frame until she wrapped her arms around is neck pulling his head moving his mouth closer to hers. She pressed her body against his. Yoruichi moved her mouth closer stealing his breath.
"Byakuya" she said softly. Then she lightly licked her lips and added, "we better hurry."
"Hurry," he whispered as he moved in slowly to kiss her.
Yoruichi quickly moved away and before Byakuya knew it she was standing in the doorway, "I'll race you." She smiled mischievously then flash stepped away.
"Race, flash step, I am in no condition for either, I don't even think I can walk", Byakuya sat down on his bed and shook his head," that woman".
Soon that woman was entering the gates of the Shihoin estate. Yoruichi made it back in record time. The first person to greet her was her grandfather who just happened to be practicing his golf swing. Emeka was happy and surprised to see Yoruichi alone.
"Hey baby girl, how was your evening?
"It was very hmm educational Pa Pa".
"Educational?" Emeka had this perplexed look on his face.
"Yes and we managed to move Ginrei's koi over to Byakuya's pond".
"Yoruichi you're home, how's was your evening?" Adaeze eagerly asked her granddaughter. She hoped that Yoruichi and Byakuya had a wonderful evening. Adaeze
Emeka answered for Yoruichi, "She says it was educational."
Adaeze's golden eyes sparkled from Emeka's comment. "That so wonderful."
His wife's reaction along with Yoruichi's one word description made Emeka worry about the meaning behind this educational date.
"I am going to bed, night Nin Nin, night Pa Pa,"
Thoughts of Yoruichi had made it very hard for Byakuya to sleep last night. He questioned his decision to let Yoruichi leave his bed. What happened between them was not something he expected. He was hoping to catch her off guard and get his hair tie back, but she was too tempting. Her smiles, her lips, her touch, were now all he thought about. His body was aching to go and find her to finish what was started, his mind cautioned him with each thought reminding him he needed to tread lightly when it came to Yoruichi. His heart just wanted her back but his heart was the one part he refused to listen to.
Yoruichi stayed on his mind throughout the morning. She even made it very hard to concentrate in the captain's meeting. Once the meeting was over Byakuya headed straight for Yoruichi's told himself it was just to talk and to thank her for helping with the koi. When Byakuya arrived she was nowhere to be found. He went to the Shihoin mansion to search for her.
"Good day Young Kuchiki have you come to join us for tea." Adaeze smiled at Byakuya the same way Yoruichi did when she wanted something. There was no doubt Yoruichi's charm came from her grandmother.
"I am sorry, I can't I just came to speak to Yoruichi."
"Ah yes, Yoruichi I was told she helped you to catch koi last night", Ai's emerald eyes shined brightly in the most enchanting way yet another trait Yoruichi inherited, "and she didn't get back until midnight you must have had quite the time", she smiled mischievously, "with the koi that is."
Byakuya was somewhat caught off guard. He paused in responding as he tried to think of a good response. Both of the Shihoin women smiled at his delay. He realized Ai and Adaeze were a lot more dangerous the Yoruichi they were twice the trouble.
"Kuchiki, Yoruichi said the evening was educational," Emeka gave Byakuya a look that would make a harden criminal break, "care to elaborate, what made it so educational?"
Byakuya thought about the question and responded rationally under Emeka's interrogating glare, "It was a learning experience for the both of us." After Ai and Adaeze gave each other knowing looks and exchanged smiles Byakuya knew his answer sounded much better in his head than it did out loud. Even Az raised an eyebrow at the response.
Emeka frowned and started to grill Byakuya but Adaeze stepped in and stopped the interrogation. "Emeka have some more tea," Adaeze filled his cup and gave a look that he knew meant stop now or end up in the doghouse later. She turned her attention back to Byakuya. "Young Kuchiki I am sorry but Yoruichi isn't here, but we'll make sure to let her know you want to speak to her".
"Thank you."
Byakuya returned to his office and Yoruichi was still the only thing on his mind. He wondered if she was upset with him, where she was, what she could be doing, he sighed as he pushed his paperwork aside. "I keep appearing because you keep thinking about me", yeah right then where are you? I guess it only works if I close my eyes. Humph, I should get back to work". Byakuya grabbed a report but could not focus on the report. He sighed and closed eyes, I have to complete my reports I shouldn't be thinking about that demon cat she's probably somewhere taking a nap.
Byakuya was wrong Yoruichi was wide-awake and standing at his doorway. She admired his handsome face from afar. Yoruichi wanted to kiss him until he opened his eyes, but she froze in place she wasn't exactly sure how Byakuya would act seeing her or even if he wanted to see her. Last night had stirred up a lot of emotions and desires but in the end he pulled away from her. Physically he definitely wanted her but what if that were all there was that wouldn't be enough for either of them. So it wouldn't be a surprise if that were the reason why he pulled away. Byakuya was not the kind man to randomly sleep with women. There may also be other reasons such as a part of him really does hate her. Byakuya's anger when he discovered her in his hospital room played vividly in her mind. That thought was enough to make her turn to leave.
Then she heard Byakuya's whisper,"Where are you, Shihoin Yoruichi?" Suddenly Byakuya felt the delicate touch of a finger between his slanted brows. It can't be, I can't just say her name and she appears.
"Byakuya, so you really do sit at your desk and think about me. I don't know how you get any work done."
Byakuya's eyes fluttered open and he saw Yoruichi leaning on his desk smiling at him. She was giving him "his smile". There was just the slightest upward turn of the corners of Byakuya's lips in response. It wasn't a real smile but it was a sign he was happy to see her. Yoruichi rewarded Byakuya with a kiss. It was a soft and sweet kiss.
Yoruichi pulled away leaving Byakuya wanting more. The kiss was too short for Byakuya's liking. Byakuya craved the sweetness of Yoruichi's lips. He hastily recaptured her lips his kiss was considerably more passionate. It was a bold move on Byakuya's part and Yoruichi encouraged his boldness by opening her mouth allowing him to kiss her fully.
Byakuya was embracing his boldness and Yoruichi. He pulled her into his lap and continued kissing her. He was right she did fit perfectly in his lap but she would not be napping. He pulled her closer until her breast pressed against him. Byakuya's hand roamed all over Yoruichi's bare back. The feel of his fingers on her bare skin was even better than she imagined. Byakuya's calloused hands delighted in the softness of Yoruichi's velvety soft skin. She ran her fingers through his silky long dark hair and made herself even more comfortable on his lap.
She felt the same desire he had for her last night. Yoruichi whispered, "You are happy to see me aren't you Captain Kuchiki?"
She called him a lot of things but never Captain Kuchiki. The name released a primal desire Byakuya had locked away. His body had taken over completely mostly due to the sudden loss of blood to his brain. He kissed her hard with a burning desire as his hands began to explore every inch of exposed skin her uniform would allow him access to. Yoruichi moaned into his mouth as his hand slid along the sides of her breast.
Their lips parted breaking the passionate kissed and gasped for air. She could tell by the look in his eyes there was no doubt he wanted her, and from his body's response she knew he wanted her right now. His raw desire sent a sensual shiver down her spine.
"Now I wish I had made this my first stop instead of my last." Byakuya didn't like the way she said the statement. Yoruichi dropped her hand from around Byakuya's neck and laid it on his chest. She looked into his eyes and continued, "Byakuya I stopped by to let you know I was leaving."
Byakuya dropped his arms like a heavy weight. He pulled back from her a little. Yoruichi felt his body turn ridged. "Oh I see," his voice was void of any passion.
No, no, you don't see, don't do this Byakuya. Her soft golden eyes stared deep into his eyes breaking him a little but she could see his eyes were quickly returning to their usual frigid state. Don't you dare close the door again.Yoruichi pressed her lips against Byakuya's lips. He soon gave into her lips' softness surrendering kissing her fully. His arms were still locked at his side. She caressed his cheek lightly with her fingertips, "It'll just be for a few days." I promise I'll be back.
She kissed him again he wrapped his arms around her. His hold on her was not as tight this time but at least he was holding her again. She relaxed in his arms. "You know you now owe me three naps, when I return I expect payment in full."
"Three"
"Yes, because of you I couldn't sleep last night," she kissed him lightly on forehead, "now you owe me another nap."
An exhausted Rukia rushed to Byakuya's doorway. "Nii-sama," Rukia faced turned a bright red as she saw Yoruichi sitting on Byakuya's lap. Rukia's jaw dropped and she just stared at them for a moment. She finally blurted out, "Yoruichi-dono, nii-sama, I am so sorry."
"Its okay Rukia, I was just getting ready to leave. I'll leave you two alone." Yoruichi motioned to stand.
"No, please don't leave", Rukia waived her hands rapidly, "I only came because Ginrei-sama sent me to let nii-sama know he needed to go look for you, but nii-sama has already found you so please stay", Rukia backed up out of the doorway, "I'm the one that should leave."
"No, It's really OK, I have to head home anyway." Yoruichi finally left Byakuya's lap. She stretched and started moving toward Rukia. Yoruichi glanced over her shoulder at Byakuya when she reached the doorway "I missed my nap for today, Byakuya now you owe me four."
Both Kuchikis blinked and Yoruichi was gone. Byakuya quickly grabbed a report from his desk and started reading over it avoiding eye contact from Rukia. Rukia quickly figured out what he was doing. "I'll leave you to your work nii-sama."
"Very well," Byakuya grumbled out with his eyes glued to his report.
Rukia smiled and left Byakuya to his work.
