Curiosity

Part 2

„Zaraki is actually dating somebody? You can’t be fucking serious!!!?!?!?!“
“Great Matsumoto. Shout some more would you? I doubt all of Soul Society is hearing you yet.”
“But Ikkaku! I always thought that guy is asexual! And now that!”
“To be honest – I thought so too.”
“Don’t be so unfair guys. Why shouldn’t the taichou feel something as beautiful as love?”
“It’s just weird Yumi. Gosh! Just wait until I tell that the Woman Association!”
“So much to ‘keeping that to yourself’.”
“Are you kidding?! How should I keep something like that to myself?”
“You are worse than Yumichika.”
“Hey! I am not gossiping around.... often!”
“See!”
“Well, you do it too Ikkaku!”
“You guys from 11th all gossip around! You are worse than schoolgirls!”
“We do NOT gossip! We are just having manly conversations.”
“Yeah... sure. But now really, you guys really have no clue who it could be?”
“Nope.” Ikkaku sighed. “Seems like the taichou doesn’t trust us anymore.”

“Awwww poor boy got crushed by his hero.”
“Shut it Yumichika! You don’t know either!”
“Pffft! At least we have a new lead...”

“Yachiru.” They said in unison and continued to walk down the corridor of 11th. They just came back from their day in the city. Of course Matsumoto demanded to know why Ikkaku and Yumichika spent more time on buying sweets for Yachiru than actually shopping.

They really didn’t want to tell her. As soon as you tell Matsumoto whole Society will know! [In Ikkaku’s opinion Yumichika was already bad enough! But Matsumoto and Yumichika knowing? As soon as the two stepped out of 11th Headquarters everybody would know instantly!]

But Matsumoto can be very determined and... violent. She held Ikkaku in a headlock for good three minutes before the bald one turned blue and his partner talked like a waterfall.

And now they are looking for the pink haired girl. And they just couldn’t find her. On top of that nobody of 11th Division they came across seemed to have seen her either [Ikkaku noticed though that some still were ogling his girlfriend! Haven’t they learned after the first punishment? Seemed like they needed some more extra training with Ikkaku].

“Hey guys! I am getting sick of searching! You live with her! You should know where she is!”
“Nah. Yachiru does what she wants.”
“Well, maybe the taichou knows.”

Ikkaku sighed again. “I guess we should ask him.”
“... you really sure he is dating somebody?”
“Definitely.” Yumichika said and grinned. “The hickey is proof enough.”
“He got a hickey?”
“On his neck. And he is disappearing every night.”
“And Yachiru asked Unohana-taichou about marriage customs.”
“But who?” Matsumoto whined. She has always been a curious person and not knowing drove her crazy.

“I have no damn clue.”
“Unohana?”
“Nah Yumi. I don’t think she likes younger energetic guys. Besides – I have heard somewhere that she and Ukitake have a thing.”
“Honestly now? From where did you hear that?”
“Why Ikkaku. I thought you don’t like to ‘gossip’”.
“Well, that‘s not gossiping”
“Oh no? What then? It can’t be “manly talk” as I am a woman.”
“Well – we are just ‘exchanging information’.”
“... nice way to put it.”
“What’s now going on between Unohana-taichou and Ukitake-taichou?”
“I thought we were discussing Kenpachi.”
“True.”
“I think the taichou has a fling with Kyouraku-taichou.”
“... you are so gross Yumichika.”
“What makes you think so Yumi?”
“The sake-parties of 8th and 11th. Kenpachi-taichou and Kyouraku-taichou are always hanging out together. And then the old geezer always has his hands on our taichou. Hugging and touching and... maybe he went under Kenpachi’s clothes now.”
“Ewwwww stop it Yumichika. Our taichou sure as hell is not gay.”
“But gay males are sooooo cute.” Matsumoto squealed.
“Trust me Ikkaku. At first there was nothing when I looked at our captain, but lately my gay-radar is screaming.”

Matsumoto laughed. “Ok, ok. So let’s say Kenpachi is gay. I dunno if it’s really Shunsui though. He seems smitten with Nanao.”
“He is ‘smitten’ with everything.”
“True. I just wait until he goes stalking after Komamura-taichou.”
“... you guys think it could be Koma?”
“Gosh Matsumoto. What have you smoked today?”
“True. I think we can safely say that our taichou has nothing going on with Komamura-taichou, Kuchiki-taichou and Tousen-taichou.”
“Yeah – he would never ever do anything with those three.”
“Dear Ikkaku. I believe you meant to say that THEY will never have anything to do with HIM.”
“Their loss, really.”
“Awwwww... my boyfriend has a crush on his captain~”
“I DO NOT!”
“Ikkaku and Kenpachi. Sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S...”
“SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!”
Both giggled.
“Can you two please turn back to normal again so we can discuss this like adults?”
“Geez, ok-ok. Party-pooper.”
“Well – who else is there?”
“Soi-Fon?”
“Too obsessed with cats.”
“Gin?”
“... could actually work..”
“Yeah. He is always tying our taichou up. Kinky bastard.”
“Yes. But our taichou seems to dislike him.”
“Why would anybody dislike Gin?”
“Taichou says that he and Tousen are cowards.”
“Well then it really couldn’t work.”
“Aizen?”
“Nope. We would have known by now.”
“What ya mean Matsumoto?”
“Well. His crazy stalker Momo would have found out by now and cried our ears out.”
“...true.” the males said in unison.

“Kuchiki?”
“We already said that that guy is a very big ‘No’.”
“Our taichou respects him.”
“Yeah, but that Kuchiki-ass hates his guts.”
“And you seem to hate him Ikkaku.”
“Well... that stuck up asshole doesn’t know just how much of hell our life was before, yet he thinks he has the right to judge us. Stupid sissy boy would never have survived what we did; he would NEVER have survived what our taichou did.”
“... I just hope it’s not him or you’ll explode.”
“Gosh. I hate him Matsumoto.”
“Indeed. The way Kuchiki-taichou is treating our captain is truly not beautiful. Hitsugaya?”
“You are gross Yumi.”
“Kurotsuchi?”
“You are so very very gross Yumi.”
“Then we have nobody left.”
“Yamamoto?”
“You BOTH are gross.”
“Then we really have nobody left.”
“Well, who said it has to be a captain?”
“Gosh. We will never find out like that. I just hope Yachiru will spit it out.”

They sighed and continued their way down the hallway. They still haven’t heard anything of Yachiru yet.

“I just hope the taichou is in, so we can ask him.” Ikkaku said and came to a halt in front of the wide office doors of the 11th Division Taichou.
He slid it open.

“Shouldn’t you knock?”
The bald one turned to her. “Why should I? Ken... what’s wrong with you guys?”

He saw their eyes widen and jaws fell.
He turned around.

There, sitting ON the table, was their captain. Back to them and legs around somebody’s hips. His size was keeping them from seeing the other one, but the hands on Kenpachi’s ass were definitely male.

“Taichou?” Ikkaku chocked out before Yumichika managed to clap his hand over the other’s mouth.

They saw the back stiffen. Then, slowly, one blushing Zaraki Kenpachi was looking at them.

“Don’t ya know how to fuckin’ knock?”
“That is your own fault. I always told you that you were too lax on them.” A smooth, cold voice said.

Oh please no... That’s the voice of...

All three took a step back as nobody else than Byakuya Kuchiki stepped out from behind Kenpachi and looked uncaring at them.

“I guess you know now.”

They nodded.

“And I am quite sure that I do not have to inform you that I will send Senbonzakura after you if you let ANYBODY know.”
“Bu...”
“No Matsumoto-fukutaichou. Especially not the Shinigami Women Association. And now leave. Kenpachi-taichou and I have... business to attend to.”

They nodded once more, stepped out of the room and closed the door.

...

“Fuck. I need a drink.”
The other two nodded.

~~~

“Damn it Kuchiki! I told you ‘not here’!”
“But does not the risk of getting found out spice everything up?”
“Fuckin’ kinky bastard.”
Byakuya only smirked.
