A/N: Thank you so much for continuing to read this story sorry about the delays in updating. A big thank you for all the reviews, comments, and favs.
Byakuya continued down the quiet hall. It was rare for him to need anything at this our so most of the servants had returned to their quarters for dinner. Byakuya had to travel to the other side of the mansion to find someone. Part of him worried as Yoruichi's spiritual pressure disappeared. He wondered if she would still be in his bed when he returned. Yoruichi had already implied he'd kidnapped her it would not surprise him if she escaped.
The thought caused him to sigh. What am I doing? I can't keep Yoruichi if she doesn't want to stay. I am not a kidnapper.
"Kuchiki-sama is there something I can help you with?"
Byakuya looked down to see one of his servants a petite girl with bright eyes. "Yes, I need for an order to be picked up from a place called MoJo Jojo." Byakuya handed the girl the order.
Her eyes grew wide as she saw the list of dishes. "Are you having a party Kuchiki-sama?"
"No" Byakuya turned and started walking away from the wide-eyed girl, "bring the food to my room." Byakuya disappeared into the darkness of hall as the young servant stared.
Byakuya was finally able to feel Yoruichi's spiritual pressure as he got closer to the bedroom. He relaxed as relief filled him. Then he heard her laughing. Why is she laughing? Is she laughing at me? Byakuya opened the door his frown in place "What so funny, Yoruichi?"
"You are, Big Pooh"
Byakuya slanted his eyes and stared at the demon cat laying comfortably his bed, "Big Pooh?"
Yoruichi started to crawl to the foot of the bed. There was something animalistic about her movements, which attracted Byakuya. He had walked to the foot of the bed without even thinking about it. He was enchanted by Yoruichi golden eyes and like a bird trapped in a cat's trance he waited for Yoruichi to pounce.
Yoruichi slide her hand under Byakuya kosode; heating his flesh with her fingertips. Her hands slowly moved up to his neck. Byakuya could not move he just stared into her eyes. Her fingers reached his hair and she pulled his head towards hers until their lips touched. She kissed his bottom lip softly. "You are Big Pooh" She kissed him fully as he opened his mouth to speak.
She broke the kiss and slid back on to the bed. "Big Pooh" she motioned her finger for Byakuya for Byakuya to come to her. It didn't register to Byakuya that she called him Big Pooh he just followed her command. He crawled onto the bed and over Yoruichi. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close recapturing his lips. Her hands explored his back as his kisses moved down her neck and to her shoulder. When his lips returned to meet hers she grabbed his bum. Byakuya's eyes widen at the aggressive response.
"Byakuya, how much time do we have?" She sucked his bottom slowing his replay.
"Time?" He returned to kissing Yoruichi.
"Yes, Byakuya," Yoruichi stopped as Byakuya nibbled on her ear, "before the food comes"
"Food," his lips returned to hers before could finish his statement, "I don't know 15, 20 minutes maybe" Byakuya's left hand move to remove the chocker from around Yoruichi's neck.
"Then we should stop now."
"But, 20 minutes is enough time, but" Byakuya gave Yoruichi the saddest puppy dog eyes.
She quickly captured his lips, kissing him until his eyes closed, "We have all night remember," she gave a quick peck on the lips, "Big Pooh"
Byakuya frowned and Yoruichi's index finger landed between his slanted brows. "Byakuya don't do that you'll make think you don't like your new nickname". Yoruichi started to laugh.
Byakuya rolled on his side with is face locked in a frown. "You could just call me Kuchiki-sama" The frown disappeared and was replaced by smugness.
"No" Yoruichi started laughing again this time louder and Byakuya frowned. "C'mon Byakuya I needed a new nickname for you" her eyes roamed over Byakuya's body, "I certainly can't call you Byakuya-bo anymore."
"And you came up with Big Pooh."
"Actually I didn't Orihime's phone did." Yoruichi took one look at Byakuya's face and knew he needed more info to be convinced of the greatness of Big Pooh. "It was a game on Orihime's cell phone. You just thought of the guy you like, type in his name, and then hold down your thumb for five seconds pressing the X on the touch screen. When you remove your thumb the perfect nickname appears."
"And you thought of me?"
"Of course, and it said Big Pooh" She gave him a quick kiss and a smile.
She likes me, she really likes me Byakuya's once young angry voice gave a reserved cheer. She didn't say love but it was start Byakuya knew what path he would take now. He would walk the path to Yoruichi. One day she would replace like with love.
"So what's my nickname going to be, Byakuya? Orihime's game works for girl nicknames too."
"I don't need any help. I already know the perfect nickname?"
Yoruichi's eyes lit up, "What?"
"Demon Cat"
Yoruichi was the one with a frown this time, and Byakuya was the one with his finger between her brows. She grabbed his finger, "Byakuya, you're supposed to come up with a new nickname."
"I like Demon Cat it fits," he kissed her softly, "perfectly"
"I want a new nickname."
"Yoruichi are you pouting?"
"I want a new nickname, Byakuya."
"Me too"
"The nickname I gave you is great, it rolls of the tongue so easy. Big Pooh" She gave him a quick kiss on his lips and smiled.
"So does Demon Cat." Byakuya watched as Yoruichi's smile disappeared. "Fine if you like the next time I see Orihime I will use her phone to pick out a new nickname. I have no plans to go to the human world so I will not be seeing Orihime, Demon Cat.
Yoruichi turned her attention to the door "The foods here"
"The food" there was a soft knock at the door, "oh the food". Byakuya looked at Yoruichi. She seemed to consume her body weight in food on a daily basis yet she had the body of a dancer. She was toned from head to toe. Byakuya's desire filled eyes roamed over her bare shoulder up her neck and half knotted chocker. His name drew his eyes to her lips.
"Byakuya are you going to answer the door?"
"Yes" Byakuya went to the door and retrieved the seven boxes of food from the two servants. He turned and looked Yoruichi who looked like a kid on Christmas morning. "Your dinner" She started eating before Byakuya opened his box. Her lust for food is quite great come to think of her lust for life is the same. " Byakuya let out an hmm sound as he ate his first spicy tuna roll. The food from MoJo certainly tasted much better when he was with Yoruichi. I wonder if she is as passionate when it comes to other things.
Yoruichi tore through the first five boxes then practically drank her bowl of ramen. "Ahhhh! That was good Byakuya" Yoruichi noticed Byakuya was only half the way finished with his order Byakuya you eat so slowly, but then again you do a lot of things slowly. That's why it so hard for me not to push you even though I really want to, but I'm not. We will move at your pace even if it takes 100 years.
Yoruichi slowly drank her cup of milk as she tried to remain patient as Byakuya ate his spicy tuna rolls. Byakuya finally finished his last roll. Finally "Oh you've finished. So would you like to take a bath or a shower?"
A shower would be quicker then we can go to bed "A shower or"
"A bath Byakuya, a bath"
"A shower would be nice" Byakuya noticed Yoruichi mouth twist and her eyes shift to the side, "but a bath would be nice too"
"Yes it would, Big Pooh". Yoruichi's lips found Byakuya's lips. She pulled away slowly leaving only her hand his thigh.
She wants us…"Ok than bath it is."
Yoruichi helped Byakuya up then followed him into the bathroom. Wow it's really plain and sterile "Byakuya you're bathroom so, so hmm white," I was hoping you'd have a huge tube but that's OK, "your tub certainly looks cozy." There were no salts or oils like in Yoruichi's bathroom but Byakuya was there and that was enough for Yoruichi.
Byakuya settled in the tub first that way he could gaze upon Yoruichi before she entered. One look at Yoruichi and suddenly the bathwater became extremely hot. Yoruichi stepped into the tub, but instead going to the opposite end of the tub away from Byakuya she settled between his legs.
She leaned back against his chest "Ah, nothing like a nice hot relaxing bath after along day"
Relax how do you expect me to relax? Do you know how hard it is for me to relax when you're lying against me naked? I know I'll recite the Gotei by-laws.
Reciting the Gotei by-laws did help a little too well as Byakuya did not hear Yoruichi's question, but she did hear him reciting the by-laws. "Byakuya I can't believe you, can't you relax for a minute? Look at me when I am talking to you." She thumped Byakuya on his forehead.
"I am relaxed." Byakuya's eyes flew opened and all he could see was Yoruichi. His eyes traveled up her damp mocha skin, lingered on her pouty lips then were locked with her bright eyes. "Damn" Byakuya cursed under his breath as his body started to react naturally to seeing the woman he desired so badly. All the time he spent focusing on the by-laws instead of Yoruichi became void in a matter of seconds.
Yoruichi's pout changed to a wickedly seductive smile after it became obvious why Byakuya was reciting the by-laws instead of whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Byakuya took a sharp intake of breath as Yoruichi slid her hands up his thighs and up his torso. She continued moving her hands until she reached his hair. She directed his head using his hair bring his lips close to hers. Yoruichi brushed her lips against his softly.
Byakuya followed her moves gently brushing his lips against hers. "Yoruichi, I thought you wanted a relaxing bath," he breathed against her lips.
"I do," her hand slid down his stomach, "but I want you more".
- Friday-
Four days later Yoruichi lay asleep in Byakuya's arms. Byakuya knew daybreak was only moments away and he'd have to let her go once again. Soon the larks will be singing a song, Byakuya preferred not hear, waking Yoruichi. Byakuya got to hold Yoruichi all night but that wasn't enough. He couldn't kidnap her during the workweek or could he? He still couldn't believe Thursday he practically stormed into her headquarters demanding to see her because had not seen her four days.
Byakuya had given Yorucihi allowance for not seeing him on Monday and Tuesday since she was spending time with the Shihoin clan members but when she didn't come to see him on Wednesday he missed her so much all he could do was think about her. He even forgot to attend a meeting about the Gotei dress code and the significance of each item of clothing.
Today he'd have to attend a make up session so he really could not kidnap Yoruichi. Maybe I can kidnap her after the meeting. Byakuya's thoughts were interrupted as the larks began to sing. He felt Yoruichi body start to stir in his arms. She's waking up Byakuya's grip got just a little tighter.
Yoruichi's eyes fluttered open and she smiled, as the first thing she saw was Byakuya's face. "Good morning Byakuya."
It is good but soon you'll leave my arms "Good morning"
Yoruichi pulled away and started to stretch. "Its morning so does this mean I'm free to leave or were you planning on kidnapping me for the entire day?"
"I did not kidnap you, Yoruichi, we're in your quarters"
"So you held me hostage instead, you're a bad man Big Pooh" She kissed him before he could argue against the nickname. "Byakuya, its time to get up."
"I know."
Yoruichi heard a twinge of disappointment in his voice and it tugged at her heart. She knew they had to leave each other duty called and Byakuya was not the type a man to abandon his duty. His loyalty to what he believed in was something she liked about Byakuya. It gave her a reassurance she could rely on him, it was one of many things she liked about him. She liked that he was uptight at times especially around others but around her he could be different. Yoruichi had been pulling emotions out of Byakuya since they were children. She was the only one Byakuya showed his hidden desires. She was the one to turn his world upside down with a smile; she was the one to cause him to use bold actions.
She was still recovering Byakuya's boldness from yesterday. Yesterday one of her officers had informed Yoruichi that Byakuya came in demanding that she see her. Yoruichi's original plan was to see Byakuya after her meeting was over so she was happy Byakuya decided to come for a visit. She had the officer escort Byakuya to her quarters until after her meeting.
When Yoruichi made it back to her quarters she found a not so happy Byakuya. Byakuya did not say a word but she felt like she was being scolded with his eyes. She tried to lighten the mood with a smile but Byakuya's face did not change. She started to explain why she had not seen him in four days, but before she could speak Byakuya pulled her body against his. Her heart raced as his stare seemed to drill through her soul. Next he took her lips kissing her so hard her knees almost buckled.
It took a Yoruichi a moment to realize he was pulling her backwards. His kisses were clouding her mind so she wasn't as aware of her surroundings and she had no idea where they were moving. She didn't care. She missed him the past four days and his body was telling her he missed her as well. Byakuya picked Yoruichi up and the next Yoruichi felt the soft feel of the mattress beneath her.
Byakuya kept her in that room from the rest of the day and that night. Yoruichi didn't mind she rewarded his boldness, but now it was morning and she had to leave that room and Byakuya at least for a few hours. Lying in bed next to him wasn't making anything easier she to took a deep breath and pulled herself out of bed. She didn't look back at Byakuya it would have made matters more difficult.
Byakuya watched in silence as Yoruichi moved toward the bathroom. He wanted to say comeback to bed, but he didn't utter a sound. He instead just stared and fought his urges to stop her from leaving the room.
Yoruichi entered the bathroom and closed the door hoping it would make things easier. It did not work. She leaned her back against the door wondering how she was going to leave after her shower. Byakuya would still be lying in bed and she'd still want to crawl back in bed with him. This isn't going to work. Yoruichi burst through the bathroom door back into the bedroom. "Byakuya you could join me this way we could both leave at the same time "if you" Byakuya was by Yoruichi's side before she could finish her statement. Byakuya you know if you moved that fast when we play tag you just might catch me.
Yoruichi's idea worked partly. Yoruichi and Byakuya were both ready to leave and start their day at the same time however it didn't make it easier to leave.
"It's time to go Byakuya." Yoruichi walked to the door expecting Byakuya to follow.
"Yes" Byakuya didn't move.
Byakuya don't make this any harder, "I'll see you later."
"We can meet later for lunch."
"Sorry Byakuya, I am having a lunch meeting with the Shinigami Women's Association and this time you can't come" I certainly don't want to endure another Captain Kuchiki fan club meeting, "it's women only today" we're deciding which men to use for the calendar.
"Oh I see" I can't kidnap you with those women around anyway, dinner would be much better we can have it at my home and we can just stay here the rest of the weekend "we can have dinner"
"Byakuya I promised to have dinner with Ukitake and Shunsui tonight." Byakuya frowned and Yoruichi finger landed between his brows. "Don't be like that Big Pooh." Yoruichi gave Byakuya a quick peck on the lips took his hand and led him out of her quarters. "I am going to concert tomorrow night you should come with me."
"OK"
"It's a date we'll leave at 4:00 PM for the human world." She gave him another kissed then flashed stepped way.
"It's a date, wait the human world" Byakuya shook his head, "at least we'll be together."
Byakuya knocked on Yoruichi's door at exactly 4:00 PM. "Right on time Byakuya, I'd expect nothing less from you, Big Pooh." Yoruichi draped her arms his necked and pulled him into a warm welcoming kiss. Byakuya's frown disappeared, as he tasted her smile.
Soi Fon burst through the door a few moments later. Her face turned bright red as she saw Yoruichi and Byakuya kissing. She wanted to step back out but her feet were frozen in place by embarrassment.
Byakuya noticed Soi Fon his lips tighten. Yoruichi knew the kiss would have to end Byakuya was not one for public displays of affection. She hesitantly pulled back. "Soi Fon"
Soi Fon face was a red as beet. She started to apologize before Yoruichi could turn around. "I am so sorry Yoruichi-sama. I should have wait outside. I apologize my actions were rash and I acted hastily. It's just that I was late but that is not an excuse."
"Don't worry about it Soi Fon", Yoruichi smiled, "it's no big deal let's go besides I am sure Kisuke can't wait to see you."
"Yoruichi-sama!"
Yoruichi let out a boisterous laugh, "I m kidding Soi Fon, you really need to lighten up".
The trio quickly arrived at Kisuke's shop. From the huge smile on the pervy shopkeeper's a face one could tell he was very happy to see his guest.
Kisuke ran over greeting his guest, "Yoruichi-san, Byakuya-kun, Soi Fon" Soi Fon cut her eyes slicing his smile to pieces.
"Kisuke do you have the gigas ready?"
"Yes, Yoruichi-san right this way."
"C'mon Soi Fon you look great."
"But Yoruichi-sama," Soi Fon tried to pull her short floral circle skirt down three inches to reach her knees, "its too short and I need a jacket."
"It's not too short and the weather is perfect to go sleeveless. I am not wearing sleeves."
Soi Fon took one look at Yoruichi's barely there cami decided that maybe her olive satin tank was not so bad and at least her skirt was longer than Yoruichi's shorts. Soi Fon stood blushing until Kisuke walked into the room and her embarrassment was replaced an evil eye that locked on to Kisuke in his weathered surf washed blue jeans.
Kisuke removed his green and white-stripped hat and fumbled it clumsily in front of him as tried to think of something to speak to Soi Fon. His eyes quickly ran over outfit locking on to her cowboy boots. "You look very" his locked with hers "lovely Soi Fon."
Yoruichi smiled as she saw the blush once again fill Soi Fon's cheeks. Yoruichi's smile changed when Byakuya entered the room. She took one look at Byakuya's attire and a 100 ways to tease him popped in her head. Her eyes filled with mischief and just as she was about say something she heard her Nin Nin's voice speaking on the sensitivities of men. Yoruichi had already inadvertently embarrassed Byakuya earlier today and she wanted tonight to go very well so she fought back the urge to tease him.
She went a different route. "Byakuya my don't you look handsome in your suit", she stroked his tie, "but it's a pop concert not a business dinner".
"You don't like the suit"
"No, it looks great on you", she undid first button his blazer, "and when we go to a more formal function in the real world you can wear it then. Maybe Kisuke has something else you can wear. Kisuke"
The shopkeeper was too preoccupied making semi-comfortable small talk with Soi Fon to hear Yoruichi.
"Byakuya, Yoruichi-san, nii-sama"
"Looks like the gang is all here," Kisuke put his hat on, "we should leave soon."
I thought it would be just Yorucihi and I, but now it's Soi Fon, Urahara, Rukia, Orihime, Chad, Ishida and Ichigo this not a date it's a party.
"Nii-sama are you coming with us?"
"Yes"
Their eyes grew wide. Ichigo cut through the shock silence, "Dressed like that?"
Byakuya's brow immediately lowered and his stern glance moved to Ichigo. Rukia interrupted before Byakuya could cut Ichigo down. "Nii-sama looks very classy, unlike some he takes great care with his appearance".
"Orihime my I borrow your phone." Yoruichi took Orihime's phone loaded the game and handed it to Byakuya. She whispered in his ear, "You know what to do Big Pooh."
Byakuya frowned but completed the game and found a new nickname for Yoruichi. He gave the phone to Yoruichi but did not tell her the nickname. She waited for a moment but Byakuya she stared off in the distance not looking at her. "Kisuke and Ishida help Byakuya find something a little more suitable for the concert."
You expect me to take fashion advice from Kisuke Urahara, but the Quincy is from this world and doesn't dress as shabbily as the other males. "Very well"
It was a quick change and when he returned Byakuya still had on his blazer, tie, and crisp white shirt but he did have on jeans. The others just stared with their mouths open slightly.
"Let's at least loosen the tie" she moved so close Byakuya he could feel her body heat. He stared down at her she loose his tie a little. The others stared too at the intimate exchange. "That's better Big Pooh," she said softly. "OK let's go everybody."
"Right behind you, Lovely Peanut."
Yoruichi stopped and turned back to Byakuya. " What"
"I said Lovely Peanut." Byakuya's response was just loud enough for the others to hear.
Kisuke started to snicker, which ended as soon as Yoruichi shot him a look.
Byakuya face was stone serious as he asked, "What you don't like the nickname?"
"It just doesn't fit"
"Well actually Yoruichi-san when we were younger your head" Kisuke stopped and backed up under Yoruichi's glare.
"I think it has a nice ring to it and the game can't be wrong can it, Yoruichi?"
"I guess not, Big Pooh," Yoruichi turned quickly away from Byakuya and started walking, "lets go."
The Sierra and Zero concert was packed. Byakuya enjoyed a couple of the ballads but there were too many people and it was too crowded for his liking. He did however like that Yoruichi positioned herself in front him near the end of the concert. She leaned back until her body made contact with his. He placed his hand around her waist and rested his chin on top of her head. They suddenly became an audience of two and the Sierra and Zero were performing just for Byakuya and Yoruichi. Byakuya and Yoruichi were lost in each other and the song, This is my Heart.
After the concert Rukia insisted that she and others attend the after party instead of returning to Urahara's shop. Byakuya was pleased to see Rukia and the others leave it meant he'd only have to get Yoruichi away from Soi Fon and Kisuke, which he knew wouldn't be an easy task. Byakuya cut Kisuke and Soi Fon with his eyes but they were too busy looking at Yoruichi to notice. Byakuya groaned he knew that would be a hard task. I have to get rid of these two somehow, but how?
Yoruichi grabbed Byakuya's hand. "Kisuke make sure Soi Fon gets back safely. Keep up Byakuya." She pulled Byakuya and flash stepped away leaving a stunned Kisuke and Soi Fon.
Soon Byakuya and Yoruichi stopped. "Those two really need some time alone, Big Pooh." Byakuya's face was more twisted than usual. Byakuya sometimes you can be a real…" What bit you Byakuya?"
"You, well actually you didn't three times."
"What?"
"Where's my kiss? If you insist on calling by that horrible nickname I deserve my kiss."
Are you serious? "You want a kiss" Yoruichi smiled as she thought back to the times she'd called Byakuya "Big Pooh" he was right she kissed him every time except for tonight. It was unintentional but she was the one who started kisses for "Big Pooh." "I am sorry, Big Pooh"
Byakuya was so shock to hear her apologize he stopped frowning. Yoruichi tugged on his tie pulling his head down. She kissed him softly until his lips parted allowing her to kiss him fully. Byakuya didn't seem to mind that they were on a public sidewalk he kissed her back wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Byakuya if you're going to call me Lovely Peanut I want more than just a kiss." She teasingly bit his lip.
"Oh really" Byakuya pulled her close to him eliminating any free space between them, "what?"
"Ice cream"
"Ice cream" It was not what he hoped to hear but it was so Yoruichi.
Byakuya felt the seeds of happiness start to sprout in his stomach almost making him laugh. "So the Demon Cat wants ice cream," He noticed Yoruichi's frown, "oh right its Lovely Peanut." Yoruichi still frowned until he kissed her.
"I still want my ice cream"
"I know"
She took Byakuya by the hand, "I know a place that sells 65 flavors".
"So they have vanilla."
Yoruichi rolled her eyes. "Vanilla, you should get the chocolate cheesecake", She smiled and leaned into Byakuya as they started to walk to the ice cream parlor, "I've always wanted to taste that one."
