Furry Little Secret (ch.4)
#4 of Furry Little Secret
Chapter 4 of FLS - originally posted of Fanfiction, for those who have read the original from there, I've changed it a bit to make it more Furry, as I will do with my other chapters when I feel it is necessary. rated adult just in case.
Komamura awoke the next day as the sun crept through the window and struck him in the face. He growled softly and rolled over, reaching out to pull Sasaskibe to him and realizes he wasn't there. He got up and rubbed his eyes and looked around for Sasaskibe. The sound of running water in the bathroom made him smile, would Sasaskibe expect it if Komamura joins him in the shower? Komamura opened the bathroom door in time to see Sasaskibe turning off the water and walk out. He was a little disappointed that he missed the chance to be in the shower with his Chouji, but he was enjoying the sight of hot water streaming down Chouji's muscular body. He must have looked quite stupid because Chouji giggled and starting coming over to him,
"Well, are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna hand me that towel?" Chouji asked. He was back to his human form, and as an effect of his transformation, his appearance had become more youthful; his hair was now shoulder-length and the moustache was gone along with a few wrinkles. Komamura knows that this is the effect of Sasaskibe's Kitsune transformation; every time he goes into his Kitsune form and back, his human form changes some way or another in appearance. Sometime it's as subtle as his hair growing slightly darker, at other time, he seems to appear a couple decades younger. It seems like a few decades had melted away this time, Chouji now look as if he's in his twenties.
Komamura smiled, not that he minded the serious, experienced look on Sasaskibe, but a youthful Sasaskibe was surely a bonus. He took a few step forward and pressed himself against Sasaskibe, pushing him back into the shower,
"How about you join me in the shower instead?" Komamura grinned.
"Nuh-uh, sumimassen Komamura-Taichou, but you missed your chance. I already cleaned up."
Komamura shot Sasaskibe his best Puppy-Dog-Eyes, "Aww, but there's no harm double-checking?"
Sasaskibe smiled and tapped his nose, "Nope, sorry, not giving in to you this time. Besides, I should start getting ready, I'm already running late, the Soutaichou would not be happy if I'm...held up."
Komamura gave a wolfish laugh, and kissed his lover, "oh alright, yeah, wouldn't want Yamamoto-sama to be mad and take my Chouji away from me."
Sasaskibe smiled and wrapped his arms around Komamura's neck, "No one could take me away from my Komo-san."
Komamura grinned as he leaned down to nuzzle Sasaskibe, "Glad to hear, but are you sure? You are very close to Yamamoto-sama, anyway."
Sasaskibe laughed at this, "Oh come on, the Soutaichou is the last one you should be jealous of, his interest in romance is the same as Kuchiki Byakuya's, NONE."
Komamura laughed, "yeah, but hey, you never know!"
Sasaskibe scrunched up his nose, "Genryuusai Yamamoto, in a romantic relationship? EEEEW!"
Komamura laughed heartedly and came in to kiss Sasaskibe deeply. Saskibe let the kiss linger but broke it off shortly.
"Well, anyway, I gotta get going, the Soutaichou WILL be pissed if I'm any later. And shouldn't you be headed toward your squad's barrack too?"
"yeah, yeah, but that's the sweet deal about being a captain, I get to be late."
"yeah, yeah, lucky!"
"Nah, not lucky, I'm just gifted, you should know that firsthand." Komamura flashed his best wolfish grin. Sasaskibe actually blushed, and thumped Komamura playfully on the chest.
"Well, you can prove that later, couldn't you? Now, I seriously need to get going."
Earlier
Byakuya went to the Sixth Squad barrack and went straight to his office that morning as usual. As he slides the door open, he was surprised to see Renji at his desk, working away on reports already. Byakuya kept a skeptical eye on Renji as he went over to sit down at his desk.
"You're sure early today, fukutaichou." He greeted. Renji had never been on time, much less early.
Renji beamed up at him, rubbing the back of his neck, "Heh, Morning Taichou! I was attacked with insomnia last night and gave up on trying to sleep, so I figured I'd start making up for all the time I've been late."
Byakuya allowed himself a smirk, "It would take you the rest of your career as my fukutaichou and you still wouldn't be able to make up the times you've been late, or slacked off at work, Abarai."
Renji raised his brows at Byakuya in surprise, _did he just tell a joke? _At this realization, Renji gave out a roaring laugh, "YEAH! Taichou, so you do have a sense of humor!"
Byakuya shakes his head slightly and smirks, "Well of course I do, I was a human once after all, it's just that I do not find yours and the other fukutaichous' crude vulgarity to be humorous."
A look of utter confusion was Renji's response; Byakuya would have laughed if he had allowed himself to show emotions in front of anyone. The stifled laugh from Byakuya was evident enough for Renji, he smiled adoringly at Byakuya,
"You should smile like that more often Taichou, you're beautiful when you smile." He cooed
Byakuya tried to suppress a slight blush flushing his cheeks, he cleared his throat, "You should watch how you talk to me, Fukutaichou; we don't want to invite any misconceptions, there's already for too many of them among the women of seireitei."
Renji laughed at the comment, "That's quite inevitable, Taichou; Seireitei's Women Association is full of lipstick lesbians and squealing fangirls, your own little sister think we should get together already."
One of Byakuya's perfect eyebrows went up at the mention of his little sister, "My imoutou ** **** ((a/n : little sister))**? Aren't you quite familiar with her though, Abarai Fukutaichou?"
Renji smile disappear as he gave a shrug, "Nah, I'm just the 'big bro' figure" he sighs, "don't you notice how close she is to Ichigo? And then there's that Aishido fella' from Hueco Mundo, whom she promised to return to."
Byakuya expression was uncaring, "There is absolutely no way I will allow Ichigo Kurosaki to be a part of the Kuchiki clan, nor will I allow Rukia to become a Kurosaki."
"Well, it's not like you could stop them if they do decide to get together." Renji laughed
"Oh? Can't I?" Byakuya glanced over at Renji with a raised eyebrow and muted Renji's laugh.
_But of course he can, _Renji thought, staunched.
"Well, what about Aishido-kun? Would you accept him if Rukia brings him to you?"
"That, we will have to wait and see. From what I've heard, he does seem a suitable gentleman, but I will have to let my own eyes and ears be the judge of that. But, enough talk of my Imoutou's courtship, back to work, Fukutaichou."
Renji nodded, "Hai, Kuchiki Taichou." He turned around and brought forth a teapot, "I made you Sakura tea, Taichou, I know they're your favorite."
Byakuya nodded his approval, as he accepted the cup Renji poured him, "Arigatou, Fukutaichou."
Renji gave him a childish grin, "Hai, Dou-itashimashite, Taichou."((a/n: You're welcome))
For himself, Renji poured another cup of coffee; he had become quite fond of the bitter drink, though he still adds more than the usual amount of sugar. Byakuya watched as Renji dropped one, two, three...sugar cubes into the mug.
"You are more knowledgeable than I am on the earthly etiquettes, fukutaichou," Byakuya started as Renji drops yet another cube of sugar into the drink, "but does it not defeat the purpose of a bitter drink if you're just going to sweeten it to the point of nullifying the bitter taste?"
Renji gave him a confused look, "Eh? I've only dropped 4 cubes in, Taichou. The first time I tried it, I had to add 5."
_That is not much less at all _Byakuya muttered, rubbing his temples with his fingers. "By the way, fukutaichou, I hope you're not under the impression that I'll allow you to slack off or sleep on the job just because you've gone to work early today."
Renji smiled at his Taichou, typical, he thought, "Rikai ((a/n: understood)) Taichou."
....
After what was considered breakfast, they went to work in silence for the remainder of the day until dusk fell. It wasn't until the servants brought in dinner that they looked up from their work. Alarmed at the late hour, Renji looked out the window; a full moon tonight, dammit, Renji thought as he felt his blood begin to boil and beast slowly waking up.
Hot white rice and raw salmon was on the menu today, along with lotus root hot soup. Renji and his Taichou ate in relative silence except for a few idle comments about the sixth squad and Seireitei in general. After dinner, they both enjoyed a small flask of Sake ((the wine)). The whole time, Byakuya noticed that Renji kept looking outside and then at Byakuya as if wanting to tell him something, but can't for some reason. It finally got to Byakuya's nerves, and he voiced up
"Is there something you need, Fukutaichou"
Renji cursed inwardly, and was still trying to decide if he should tell Byakuya, when he noticed his body hair growing and turning blood red. Shit, look like I don't have a choice
"Uhm Taichou," Renji started, his voice was already getting hoarse, "There is something I gotta tell you, or well, as the case may be, in a little bit, show you."
Through the dim moonlight, Byakuya could make out Renji's changes now, he placed a hand firmly on his sword, "And just what would that be, Fukutaichou?" he asked slowly
"Well...you see....I'm not just plainly what I appear to be...." Renji replied, his voice a near growl. The thick blood red hair was growing in more rapidly now, and Renji's eyes and ears grew larger. "Every full moon....I go into a Lunatic stage...and...." Renji's mouth and nose starts to lengthen and fuse into a muzzle, and he letted out a howl of pain as his muscles grows in mass.
Byakuya allowed surprise to betray his demeanor as Renji's clothes rips from the morphing. He was terrified, and yet to his great confusion, he finds himself strongly aroused. Renji's ripped uniform showing his now massive package might have something to do with it. Byakuya closed his eyes and gulped, shaking off his arousal, he had a werewolf to deal with here!
"T-Taichou....if the beast get the better of me, and I attack you.....please don't hesitate to cut me down!" Renji howled as he was already tearing the room apart.
Usually, Byakuya would have no problem agreeing to that; usually, Renji wouldn't even have to tell him that, but for some reason, Byakuya is finding himself, struggling to will himself to attack Renji.
Renji lets out a blood-curling howl and pounced, bolting for Byakuya, who shunpo-ed away just in time. Renji landed on the ground with an earth shattering quake, looked behind him at Byakuya, and pounced again. Werewolf Renji brought down one his massive claws on Byakuya's chest, and left a huge scratch mark on Byakuya's now exposed chest. Byakuya brought his blade up to slash at Renji's chest as well, but this only angered the Werewolf and he delivered a massive blow to Byakuya's gut, which sent him flying back. Byakuya had only had the chance to stagger up to his feet, holding on to the doorframe for support when Werewolf Renji flew at him again, Byakuya raised his right hand
"Bakudo no Roku-juu-san ban; Sajou Sabaku!" Byakuya cried, as chains of ropes shot out from his fingers and snaked themselves around Renji, causing him to fall to the ground. As Renji growled menacingly and struggled to break free, Byakuya straightened up, pointed his blade to the ground and panted,
"Bankai, Senbonzakura, Kageyoshi"
The sword melted into the ground, and a wall of giant blades appeared, trapping them both within it, the wall dissolved into thousands of sakura petals that engulfed werewolf Renji, cutting into him. Renji lets out another blood curling howl, and when the petal cleared, he was laying naked on the ground, cutted up and panting hard. Byakuya gulped down a gasp at the site and walked over to Renji, sword in hand.
Anticipating execution Renji slammed his eyes shut, and braced himself for the killing blow but it never came. He soon felt a warm, soft tongue licks at his wound, and it felt as good as it was alarming. Renji's eye shot open to see...a cat licking him all over. Byakuya, with cat ears and a long cat tail looks up at him with an uncharacteristic smile,
"You're not the only one with a Furry secret, Abarai-kun."
