~The Next Day~

Akina awoke late the next morning and stretched her stiff mussels. There was a knock at her door followed by a female voice saying, "Are you awake, miss? May I come in?"

"Yes, you may come in." Akina quickly called.

A young woman with a tray entered the room and said, "I brought you some tea and a bowl of fruit, since you missed breakfast."

"Arigato, I didn't mean to over sleep." Akina said guilty.

"It's alright but you now must hurry to eat and get ready." The woman stated setting the tray down on the small table.

"Why?" Akina questioned.

"Lord Kuchiki has requested you to meet him in the garden. He wishes for you to accompany him on a walk outside the grounds." The maid said with a smile as she left.

Akina hastily jumped off her futon and began searching for her clothes. She slipped on her tight soul reaper kimono that stopped at her mid-thigh, similar it Nemu's. She hopped around the room putting on her socks and sandals, trying not to fall over in the process. Then she wrapped a dark red obi sash around her waist and tied her sword to it.

"Mistress, were you with Byakuya last night?" Nami asked in Akina's head.

"Yes late last night. Why do you ask?" Akina questioned, with a light blush on her cheeks.

"Ugh, I was dreaming about Byakuya's Zanpakuto and I might have subconsciously let him in to this inner world." She moaned.

"How do you know?" Akina asked, quickly eating her fruit.

"When I woke up I sensed his spiritual pressure and I found a cherry blossom next me." Nami explained.

"That was sweet of him." Akina said with a smile.

"Yeah, but I still haven't seen him." Nami sighed as she left Akina's thoughts.

Akina downed her tea and practically burned her throat in the process before she rushed out of her room. She ran in circles around the vast property searching everywhere for Byakuya.

Seeing Kiyoshi playing with Rukia, she ran over to them and stopped a moment to catch her breath.

"Kiyoshi, be good for Rukia while I'm gone." Akina ordered.

"Yes, Okaa-san!" Kiyoshi said nodding his head.

"Rukia, where is your Nii-san?" Akina asked.

"He is waiting for you under the cherry blossom trees." Rukia said pointing over the bridge, then said, "Don't worry about Kiyoshi, Renji will be here soon and we're going to have a picnic."

"Arigato." Akina said turning to leave

"Have fun." Rukia called with a smile as Kiyoshi waved good bye.

Akina raced across the bridge and over to the cherry blossom trees, to a waiting Byakuya.

"I'm here!" she stated as she came to a stop and bent over panting.

"Good Morning." He said softly, his eye roaming her figure. Realizing she was reviling half of her breasts in this position, she quickly stood up and straitened her outfit.

"Good morning, Captain Kuchiki." She replied with a smile and a slight bow.

"I'm off duty today, Akina. You may call me, Byakuya." He said he reached up and picked a blossom off the tree.

"Alright." She said hesitantly. She noticing he wasn't wearing Captains haori or his scarf but he still whore his soul reapers uniform and of course his sword.

"I would think after last night, we know each other well enough for it to be alright." He stated, twirling the blossom between his fingers.

Akina's face reddened remembering how he carried her to bed. She quickly said, "I'm sorry about my behavior last night. It's just been so long since I've cried and-"

"There's no need to apologies." He said as he walked up to her and tucked the blossom behind her ear.

Her face reddened even more Akina whispered, "Thank you."

"If you are ready we can leave now." Byakuya said.

Akina nodded, following him out of the property walls and out into the beautiful day.


~Late in the Afternoon~

As they walked side by side, Akina couldn't stop herself from stealing quick glances at Byakuya. His dark hair and brood shoulders we're enough to make her heart race. They walked half way across a narrow bridge before a man with a large cart came rushing towards them. Akina was too busy thing and looking at Byakuya to notice.

"Akina, look out!" Byakuya shouted as he pushed her against the side of the railing and held her there with his body against hers. Successfully protecting her from the danger and keeping her there as the man with the cart passed by.

Her hands, lightly rested on his chest as his were firmly holding her hips. She blushed trying not to look at him as she felt the warmth of his body pressed against her.

One of his hands moved under her chin and lifted her gaze to his. Time seemed to have stopped in that moment when she looked up at him. His fingers brushing the side of her face gently, as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

'His eyes are like windows to his soul, they hold so much emotion. He's not as cold and heatless as people think; he's just full of sorrow and loneliness.' She thought, staring deep into his eyes.

Felling brave she stood up on her tip toes and softly pressed her lips to his. For an instant, she thought she felt him kiss her back but before she could confirm it, he pulled his lips and his body away from her.

She brought a hand to her lips, shocked and amazed at what she had done.

"Forgive me..." She breathed out and she rushed past him felling rejected.

She ran back along the path they had come, retreating to the manor and to her only privet place, her room.

"How could I have been so stupid! He didn't what to kiss me he just saved me from that man with the cart. I was a Baka for thinking it was something more." She mumbled though tears as she ran along the dirt path.

"He will probably try to avoid me now. I should leave before I cause him anymore problems." She sobbed out, her vision blurry with tears and she covered her face with her hands in shame.

Arriving at the manor, she hurried into the house and hurried through the halls that led to her room. She stumbled onward, letting the rest of her tears freely fall not bothering to brush them away.

Suddenly Byakuya flash stepped in front of her saying, "Akina, wait!"

Not able to stop soon enough she skidded into him and he grabbed her waist to keep her from falling to the floor. Using her hands, she franticly tried to push away from him but he immediately grabbled both of her wrists in one hand, while the other held her waist tighter.

"I can't stay here anymore… I have to leave..." She cried out and struggled to get away from him as more tears streamed down her cheeks.

"You're not going anywhere." He said sternly as he forcibly pulled her into an empty room to their right. He pushed her back against a nearby wall and slid the door shut.

"W-what are you doing?" She asked in a shaky voice, fear and confusion stopping her tears.

"I'm continuing where we left off on the bridge." He stated intently as he put his arms on the wall at either side of her, blocking her in.

"But you didn't want to kiss me, you pulled away. You don't want me." She whispered, slightly afraid of this side he showed.

"I've always wanted you." He breathed out looking deep into her teary eyes.

"Wanted to be near to you…" He said, stepping closer so that there were only centimeters between them.

"Wanted to touch you…" He said as one of his hands grabbed her hip roughly making her gasp.

"Wanted to kiss you..." He said as he leaned in just inches from her face, his breath warm on her skin. Her breathing became uneven as her heart raced and her lips ached for his.

"B-but you pulled away…" she stuttered, her eyes big and red from crying.

"Earlier on the bridge we were in public. It would not have been proper for a Captain to make such a display of not being able to control himself. Behind these closed doors that's not an issue." He said with a smirk, making her forget any other objection she had.

"Oh!" Was all she could say, before he attacked her lips with his. Her mind was spinning and her knees buckle making her slide down a little. Byakuya quickly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back up to him. She moaned as she willingly gave herself to him and he used the opportunity to slip his tong into her open mouth. She locked her arms around his neck silently begging him not to leave her and he responded by deepened the heated kiss. He caressed her tong with his and explored every corner of her mouth.

They separate for air, much to their annoyance and dissatisfaction. Leaning in he began gently kissing her swollen lips as she tried to even her breathing.

She nipped at his lower lip and sucked it making him groan before he slammed his mouth to hers again. Their kisses quickly became hungry and demanding as their lust filled the room.

Bulling apart they looked at each other breathlessly before Byakuya dove at her neck, kissing and nipping his way down as she ran her fingers through his hair.

"Byakuya..." She sighed pleasurably.

He grunted in reply as he sucked at her collar bone while his hands explored her sides. His mouth moved to where her neck meet her shoulder, he sucked and bit at her skin intent on leaving a mark.

Suddenly the door slid open and little Kiyoshi came running into the room.

"Okaa-san! Okaa-san!" he shouted but stopped when he saw them, his eyes wide in confusion.

"Oy, Come back here!" Renji called as he and Rukia rushed in right behind him.

Byakuya lifted his head from her neck to look at the intruders with a disapproving look on his face.

"Nii-san…" Rukia whispered in disbelief.

"S-sorry Captain." Renji said his cheeks almost as red as his hair. He quickly grabbed Kiyoshi and Rukia, dragging them out of the room.

"I should have locked the door." Byakuya mumbled as he let go of Akina and stepped back.

"This isn't good." She whispered, her hands covering her face.

"I agree, next time we make sure they're not around." He said annoyed.

"Next time?" she asked spreading her fingers to look at him.

"You didn't think I would let you go after this did you?" He asked gently pulling her hands away from her face and kissing her again. It started light but quickly became hot and needy, taking away any doubts she had. He pulled back with a grunt, releasing her and leaving her breathless again.

"Well, when you but it that way…" she sighed happily and followed him out of the room to deal with the interrupters.


That all you get for now. I promise thing will get, how shall I put it... hotter but you have to wait.
