Coming Home

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach and I don’t make money from this work of fiction. If I did own Bleach, Byakuya and I would be spending some quality time in my bedroom instead of me sitting here writing this fiction.


AN: Warning this fiction is yaoi which means Boy X Boy so no flaming. Flaming does nothing but make you look like an idiot and gives me something to melt the marshmallows for my s’mores. Consider yourself warned. Alrighty, this is my first fic that I have put to pen so to speak so let me know what you think. That being said on with the show.

Coming Home

Pairing Byakuya X Gin

Prologue

The dust from the battle was beginning to settle. The sounds of zanpakuto clashing and the screams of the fallen had grown silent. The strength of the clashing reiasu caused all battle to halt as two former taicho of the Soul Society faced each other on the battlefield. Both Shinigami and Arrancar watched in shock and not a small amount of fear as Ichimaru Gin and Aizen Sosuke faced each other not as allies but as enemies. Many of the lesser Shinigami and Arrancar collapsing under the weight of the killing intent that encompassed the area.

Gin parried a jab from Aizen’s Kyoka Suigetsu and leaped away. Sweat and blood ran in his eyes and his body ached from various injuries. Gin knew that he had sustained a few broken ribs from an attack early on in the battle. The pain was slowing him down and gave Aizen an edge. ‘Fuck, this is getting tricky’ thought Gin as he sought to recoup from the extended battle with his former taicho.

“Gin….. Bastard. Who the fuck do you think you are turning on me.” spat Aizen as he charged toward Gin, his zanpakuto aimed for a killing blow. Gin lunged to the right to avoid Kyoka Suigetsu and pain shot through his side as he barely missed being skewered. The normally grinning Shinigami gasped for breath as he tried to calm himself. His trademark grin had long since been dropped and his slanted eyes no longer hidden but open to show crimson orbs. His violet colored hair was plastered against his face with sweat and blood. Various minor injuries dripped blood and his once pristine white uniform was now torn and bloodied.

‘That was too close’ thought Gin, ‘I need to end this fast or its over. I don’t have much strength left.’ Returning his trademark grin to his face, Gin turned slightly to face his former mentor.

“I’m sorry Aizen-sama” smirked Gin “but whatcha doin’ goes against my morals”

“When have you ever had morals?” calmly asks Aizen “Your lack of emotions and ability to kill with no remorse was what drew me to you.”

“I’ve been under the direct command of Yamamoto-sotaicho since I was ya fukutaicho.” answered Gin with a smirk.

Thoughts drifted for a moment and the past flashed through Gin‘s mind. Gin had approached Yamamoto-sotaicho with concerns about his new taicho, Aizen Sosuke. Gin barely a Shinigami for 30 years had been uncertain of what course to take when he witnessed some of the intrigues that Aizen was involved in. Yamamoto-sotaicho devised a plan of deep cover for Gin. Only Yamamoto-sotaicho and Soi Fon-taicho knew that Gin was undercover with Aizen. It started simply enough, but the closer Gin got to Aizen the deeper the cover became. Soon Gin was pulled into something far more sinister than anyone had expected. Yamamoto-sotaicho offered Gin an escape but though it was offered Gin knew that in truth Yamamoto wanted him to remain as an inside man. Someone Yamamoto could trust when things came to a head.

“Then prepare to die, Gin. Here is the reward for your betrayal.” snarled Aizen breaking Gin from his memories of the past.

‘Time to pay the piper’ thought Gin as he took a defensive stance, raising Shinso.

Aizen lunged towards Gin with Kyoka Suigetsu aimed directly for his heart. The light reflected off the blade and for a moment Gin thought ‘What a beautiful blade’ That moment seemed to last an eternity as Gin realized what he needed to do. This war of Aizen’s would end tonight. Shifting only slightly at the last possible moment, Gin dropped his guard and allowed Kyoka Suigetsu to impale him. Flesh parted as if his body was made of nothing but paper. Blood splattered and Gin gasped as pain radiated throughout his body. ‘Its now or never. It seems I won’t be able to keep the promise I made to you when we were children. I hope you can forgive me Rangiku, my friend.’

“See ya around, Aizen-sama.” Gin allowed his grin to widen as he grasped the blade of Aizen’s zanpakuto to prevent its removal from his body. The blade cut deeply into his hand but Gin was beyond pain at this point. Lifting Shinso with a surprisingly steady hand, Gin releases Shinso.

“Shoot to Kill, Shinso.” growled Gin.

Gin’s grin widened. He sees Aizen’s eyes widen in shock as Shinso extends its length and pierces straight through Aizen’s heart. With a vicious twist, Gin slashes Aizen’s body in half. Blood and flesh splatter on the ground. The smell of death and blood permeates the air surrounding Gin. Aizen’s lifeless eyes stare off into nothing. ‘Its over.’ Gin mentally whispered to himself.

Gin leans heavily upon Shinso, as he slow extracts Kyoka Suigetsu from his body. A wet sound is heard as the zanpakuto is removed and blood begins to gush freely from the wound. Unable to remain standing any longer, Gin collapses upon the blood and gore of the battle field. He grips Shinso to his chest and caresses the blade as a father would caress a beloved child.

‘Thank ya Shinso. I’m honored to have fought with you by my side for so many years.’ whispered Gin to his zanpakuto.

In the back of his mind a deep voice called to him. ‘You act as if I would allow you to die after all that we have been through together. What type of partner would I be to give up so easily.’ Although the words were spoken in his mind, Gin had already fallen into the deep and welcoming blackness that called to him and could no longer respond to the voice.
