“You work for him from now on..." so began start of the end of your life. You got a new job. ....Well it was complicated, actually you never wanted the job and you were not even sure if you could call it a job or if you should see yourself more as an gift without an free will. You life in the special zone, yes that place were vampires and humans life legally together. Well at least the most of them. There was also a clan or maybe more a gang you really were not so sure about this, who did everything criminal heard to be possible the coven. To your doom your father and mother got into problems with them. Even more of a problem was that your parents were arrested closely after this from the company and the coven decided that you would by them debt for them. You were just a young human woman nearly still a girl, how were you supposed to pay them in anyway. You feared the worst but then something unexpected happened. The coven got into problems with one of the leaders of the special zone. Zelman Clock. They thought it would be a good idea to calm his anger to give you to him as a present. A Maid or whatever he wanted you to be for whatever he wanted to do. You were always quite interested in Black Bloods. You had heard a few things about Zelman and what you had heard scared you. Now you were standing in front of a double door, dressed in a simple black dress, which was shorter than you would like it to be. You were a trembling mess and your wrist hurt because one of the coven members had been dragging you by it and was still holding it with way too much force. That would surely turn purple. At least they did not hurt you. You were supposed to be a perfectly intact present, so they did not even drink your blood. The doors opened, and you shut your eyes in fear. You were dragged forward again and stumbled over your chains, falling to the ground. No one helped you up and no one seemed to care. Neither did you, you were sure you would be dead soon and you hoped to be so, because the other options seemed even worse to you. Before this you would prefer to be a meal. You heard the coven members apologize for their failure: "Pleas except this gift as our apologize" "Fools, thinking you could erase the damage you have done like this. Get lost. "His voice was ice cold and you trembled even more. You felt that someone pulled at your chains:" That one is mine from now on." They let go of the chains and made a run for it. "Idiots..." you heard the cold now annoyed voice utter. Was this Zelman? "Sayuka, who is she?" "I am sorry Sir, but I do not know. There are no girls reported to be missing this night in the special zone. I already asked our informants at the police as I got the word of the covens doing, Zelman-sama." "So, no one is missing the little Missy? Well I guess we keep her." You did not dare to look up or speak at any point of their conversation. "Hey Missy, stand up, you are laying in the way." he sounded disinterested. You hurried to stand up but hissed silently as you needed to put your weight at your hurt wrist. Still you did not complain but stood up. You did not dare to look up so, you kept your head down. Suddenly your head was pushed back and two red eyes were staring directly in yours: " It is not kind to avoids someone's gaze like this, Missy. I really should teach you some manners, what do you think?" He came closer to your neck and you squirmed in his hold, but he had a too tight grip on your head and waist by now, to let you move away. "Quite a fighter you are, heh? Stop struggling, you will just hurt yourself. Also, this will feel good, even better than sex, but how are you supposed to know, you're still a virgin after all. Even more of a reason to taste you blood. "A single tear flow down your cheek and you waited for the pain, but nothing happened. "No not like this, this is no fun at all..." he sounded annoyed and you were sure he would drop you to the ground, because your legs were trembling too much to hold you. "Relax, it is not like I am killing you. That would just mean a mess to clean up for someone. So your legs gave up on you, poor scared red blood. Were this excuse from vampires of the coven that bad to you? "You did not dare to answer and were quite sure it was rhetorical from the beginning "Hey, are you deaf? I am talking to you!" for a 800 years old vampire, he surely did not speak noble. "I..I am sorry Sir." He looked not pleased: " I do not care if you are sorry, answer my question already." He was obviously annoyed. You did not know what to answer. Yes they did not put you into physical pain, but they stripped you out of your clothes, after you declined changing in the black dress right in front of them. They threatened you and hurt you with words, some tried to touch you in inappropriate ways but stopped to your luck before things got too far, because you were supposed to be Zelmans present and were not supposed to smell too much of other vampires. Still you felt dirty. They caught you and took your freedom from you and made fun of the situation of your parents....and when he said it it sounded like some children had stolen her sweets....also you were scared that he would like what they did and do the same or worse, or that the coven would get angry at you.."N-no, Sir..They..they did..." why was it so hard to say they did noting, when he was starring in your eyes. You felt like he was watching your soul. Seeing through your lie as if it was not even there " They did nothing, Zelman-sama..." Suddenly you were pinned against a wall your feet above the ground, hold up just by your arms, but to your surprise he somehow managed to hold you in a way you wrist did not hurt, was that by choice or just coincident? He looked pretty pissed and you trembled under his gaze:" Do not dare to ever lie to me again." His voice was cold and you were terrified. You felt like a lamp in the eyes of a predictor. "By the way you are a horrible liar, Missy" he sounded now rather amused and you were utterly confused. "So what am I going to do with you...?" "what is your name? How did you come in this situation?" Suddenly he took you on his arms for a few seconds and sat down with you on the coach. Putting you next to him, but turned in a way to you, that you were sitting directly in front him. "You can go for now Sayuka, I call you when you are needed" "Yes Sir." Then I was alone with the vampire. I tried to avoid his gaze but looked up confused, as a warm jacket was put around my shoulders. His jacket. Now he was just wearing a white shirt, which was button up a bit "You are cold" he stated simply, and you could not help the surprised look on your face. He started laughing" Do not look so surprised. I already told you I am not going to kill you." He shook his head laughing but then smirked "It seems really to no one has taught you any manners heh?" You realized your mistake and blushed "I am s-...I mean ...Than-you Sir." He patted your head and you blushed even more. Now he was chuckling again "Well I will make sure to teach you Missy. For now young Miss, would you finally consider to give me your name?" "(y-y/n)" you murmured looking away a bit shy. How was someone supposed to be able to be under this arresting eyes all the time. "Now, now do not look away" He turned your face to him again and gently stroke your cheek by that chance, making you blush even more. Suddenly he grabbed your chains and in the blink of an eye, they were broken, and you looked completely dump-forded. "The rustling was annoying" he simply stated then gently took hold of your hurt wrist. "Bunch of idiots, not even able to deliver a present without damage." he murmured under his breath and you were not even sure, if you had understood it correctly. He gently inspected your wrist. "You are lucky Missy, it does not seem to be broken, still you should not put weight on it for the next days, got that?" "Ye-yes, Si-" shit did your voice just break there. You were getting calmer in his present which was no good at all, because it made it so much harder to hold the tears back and you could not trust him, he could do so many things to you and his personality seemed to be really complicated. "you smell of them, way too much...you will take a bath later" "y-yes, Zelman-sama". "This low-life's will never again lay an hand on you, I will not allow it. You belong with me, from today on." "y-yes...S-sir" why did he say with me and not to me ...was this just an accident? "Geez, did this idiots hurt your head or are you really that slow? Okay I will put it simpler for you. You are not an objective in this house or to me. Still I do not like the idea of just letting you walk away. You will work for me and stay with me. You caught my interest Missy. Also your blood smells delicious~" You shivered and tried to hide in his jacket, which made him laugh. "This will be fun!" he laughed. Suddenly you had a coke in your hands: "Drink, you are awfully pale my dear. Did they even give you food?" You shook your head shyly. He looked a bit surprised but then annoyed again: " I thought at least that they would have done, they are really a bunch of idiots. Are you hungry?" You were not sure if it was okay for you to nod but your stomach beat you to it with a slight growl which made Zelman laugh again. You on the other hand were struggling to open the coke, how embarrassing... you huffed completely and utterly annoyed at yourself which made Zelman smile kindly at you. Somehow he found you endearing and had the strange desire to protect you from harm. "Say do you like burger?" He asked you and helped you open your coke, which you made sure to drink really fast because you had been thirsty for hours. "Now, now...slowly Missy, you can have more. Come we are going out getting you some food." You stood up, but nearly lost your balance "Careful, like I said take things slowly" he had an arm around your waist now, supporting you. "I...I am sorry, Sir.." He sighed "Is there anything you are not sorry for?" he laughed but the look he was given you was serious. "I ...I do not. ..at least not know..." you really did not know. The last month it seemed you did everything wrong. You were even asking yourself if your parents were thinking you were a mistake. They were yelling all the time and you never seemed to be good enough for them, no matter how hard you tried. You tried to tell yourself it was just because of the trouble they were having, but with every day it got harder to do so and after they did not even spare you a glance as they were arrested or told the police that you were their daughter, that someone should make sure no one would hurt you, because of them. At that day you were not able to say a sound, you just watched from a bit afar...the police did not realize you belonged to them, they seemed to not even know of you, witch was kind of strange honestly. So now as Zelman asked you, you had no idea...you lost your friends as your parents took you with them in the special zone a year ago. You were too shy to find new friends and the old ones felt betrayed by your leaving, even if it had not been your fault. You did not even realize you started crying until a warm hand touched your cheek and made you look up: "Listen now, and listen good. It does not matter what has happened what you think about yourself or what others said about you, never be sorry to be alive, never be sorry to be yourself, that is nothing to be sorry for. It is something to be proud of." You nodded weakly and he shook his head:" You won't stop crying for some time now, heh?" He patted your head:" It is okay...calm down." after some time you really calmed down and were straight down embarrassed, but he just smirked at you and took you bye your arm and lead you out of the room. "Zelman-sama?" you heard his assistant ask. "We are going out, Sayuka, oh be so kind and let a room for her be prepared and also some clothing." "B-but Zelma-sama Member of the coven came here to talk to you." "Sayuka, do you dare to tell me what to do?" he sounded cold. " No, of course not Sir" she apologized right away you on the other hand had problems to breath and began to feel dizzy. They were here again...did they come back for you..."(y/n)..(y/n)! calm down. You need to take slow breath...you need to calm down...look at me, I said look at me just me." Suddenly he made you look at him and something flashed in his eyes and everything just went black, the last thing you felt was something soft catching you.

You woke up again in a car. "wha-what happened?" you asked confused. This car was going fast. "You freaked out because of the coven members who came to the mansion. I took your consciousness from you, because you would not calm down one bit and carried you in the car. We are going to get burgers right now. You like burgers don't you" You nodded shyly. "I..." you were not sure if to say thank-you or sorry. "it is quite alright. Sayuka should have thought about mentioning them in front of you." The car came to a hold and he got out. You did the same and insecurely went to his side. He just huffed: "Stop being so afraid. How do you plan to work for me if you are scared that every step you take is a mistake?" To your surprise he took you by your hand and you two went into a burger restaurant. He ordered for both of you and made sure you eat slowly. He asked you more about you and you answered shyly. "Why were you even still living with your parents. You are an adult, still a young one but you would be allowed to live on you own." "I ..never was brave enough to tell them I would leave. Scared they would get angry...even if this was extremly dump..." "You are really troublesome, Missy. You will have to learn a lot." He stood up and you followed him. You got back to the mansion again and he brought you into a room. "In the bath are more comfy clothes go and change, please" "yes, Zelman-sama" you came back, and he sat on the bed." Come here and sit down" you did as you were told and were shocked as he pulled you into his arms. You felt his lips at your neck "relax...just relax...everything is okay" he spoke softly to you and you felt intoxicated by his proximity and smell. "zelma-" you murmured confused and slightly scared: "Do not be scared, you will like the feeling I promise. I will make sure you will forget the events of the last month for the night. I will make you feel safe. Let me make sure every vampire knows you belong to me and what will happen to them if they dare to harm you in anyway" He gently kissed your neck and you shivered slightly. You could not bring yourself to fight him, strangely you really felt safe. "Please, allow me to bite you" whispered softly and you were surprised he let the decision at your hands. You were still scared but he seemed to really mean good for you, so you moved a bit to give him a better access. You felt him smile on your neck. "Such a good girl." You felt him kiss your neck again, gently holding you, to make sure you would not move too much and then his fangs pierced through your skin. The first second it hurt but then you felt pleasure and warmth. You felt like he was all around you. You felt really good and safe in his hands. You were at a loss for words and just registered at the back of your mind that you began to feel dizzy. Suddenly you felt Zelman let go of your neck, licking the wound gently and helping you lay down on the bed, putting the covers over you and kissing your forehead: "Sleep now." You still felt his presents in your mind, seeing yourself through his eyes and were surprised by the warmth of that gaze. You were dizzy and had problems to hold your eyes open. "Thank-you for the delicious meal. I bet you are a bit dizzy now, that is okay that always happens. Sleep for now. You are safe."

Read this beautiful Story from @whiskey-bumblebee it is really seriously great

Power Outage

for @sophielidaris

You winced as thunder cracked overhead. Calling out to your flatmate, you flicked on the kettle.

“How long is this one going to last?” “I’m a detective, not a meteorologist, thank you.” You felt him behind you and turned to face him, rolling your eyes.

Have fun ^-^ Oh and I would be so happy about comments and votes. Also english is not my first language please tell me were I made mistakes! Thanks beforehand^^ Now really have fun ^~^

It was cold horribly cold, and you were scared so, so scared. It was in the mid of the night and you were wandering around in the soul society. You were still an inductee in the academy and honestly you were not supposed to wander around. You would get in quiet some trouble if someone should catch you, but you needed to get out of there. Away, just away from it all. Away from the memories, the pictures, the nightmares. You thought a walk would calm your nerves, but you were still so in thoughts that you did not notice that your environment became foreign for you until you realized you were utterly and completely lost. Standing in a huge forest with not the slightest direction. You were wandering since the late afternoon in this forest without finding your way. The lessons ended near to noon today because of some reason you have long forgotten. You had fallen asleep from exhaustion, since you had trouble to sleep ever since...since then. You had woken up from a horrible nightmare and went for the walk. Now it was probably near midnight maybe even later and it was snowing since hours. You were freezing. Your clothes were not meant for this kind of weather. There had been sunshine but now it was snowing and storming since hours. Your hands were beginning to get blue and you were not even sure if you did feel your toes anymore the way you should. Your teeth were shattering, and you were beginning to wonder if you would find your way back or if you would freeze out here. How was this forest so huge and how did you manage to get this lost? You began to see black dots but tried to walk on, you knew you could not stop walking, you would be dead when you stopped, but your body was slowly given up. “Some please help me...” You whispered already too weak to scream anymore. Suddenly you heart a voice. That was not possible was your mind playing tricks on you? There again “Hey, you! Hey are you alright? Hey what the hell are you doing here?!” Without a warning your body was swanked around, and two turquoise eyes were looking straight at your soul. “Geez, you are freezing. What the hell are you doing out here!? Do you have a death wish or something!” “Please…” was the only thing you managed to say, before stumbling a bit. Before you stand a young man with spiky white hair and   turquoise eyes. “You are an inductee?” Your clothes were the proof for that. “Honestly, you are not even aloud to be here” He was clearly annoyed with you, but you could not care less you were so thankful he was there. You now probably won't have to die out here. You wanted to say something to apologize, but your vision was getting more blurry and you lost your balance again. You were sure to fall to the hard ground, but the impact never came. The stranger had caught you in his arms and to your great shock pulled you in his chest” You are way to cold” he sounded concerned. Suddenly there was a scarf around your neck. It was warm and you were thankful for it. Normally you would have blushed because of the action but you were too cold for that. Now that you were close to his chest you realized you were a bit shorter then him, but even more important you finally noticed what he was wearing, making clear to you that you were in huge and you meant really huge trouble. He was not only wearing the black cloth of a Shinigami but also white and there is only one rank who was allowed to wear that. A captain.... The young man before you was a captain. You were too exhausted to ask yourself what a captain was doing here, but you still worried about being punished. But what should you do, everything was so blurry... “I-”you started but he interrupted you. “Stop talking idiot you are wasting your energy and you need every bit of it. You are more than lucky you are not already dead. You are cold as ice and your lips and hands are blue. I bet you do not even feel your fingers or toes anymore.” At first, he sounded annoyed and angry but to the end his voice became softer warmer. “I guess it can't be helped. I need to get you out of here.” He sighed and simply picked you up. You were too weak to protest in anyway. You felt your eyes closing but he shook you “Listen, you need to stay awake. This is no good, in your state we never make it back. Neither to the academy or to the quarters.” You began to become scared, would you die after all. You tried so hard to stay awake, but it was so hard. A small whimper escapes your lips “I... want...I want to live...” His eyes became determined at this “and you will. Just stay awake and keep looking and me. Do not give up, just don’t give up” He was already running with you in his arms. Everything was a mess for you, the only thing you could clearly see was his face. His eyes looked in front of you and his lips were pressed together. A few times you nearly lost your consciousness “Stay, with me! Just a bit longer” he pulled you even closer to his chest. Suddenly the storm got weaker and eventually seemed to just stop and it got darker. A cave? He set you down. “stay awake. Don't you dare and die on me.” He vanished out of your few for a moment and then you heard him say something and there was a fire. A small campfire. He put more wood on it to make it bigger than he came back to you and brought you closer to the fire. It got warmer but you were still cold. So cold. He kneeled before you and made you look at him “I apologize in advance, but when you want to live you need to get your wet clothes of and both of us know, you can hardly move on your own.” He blushed while saying that. You just nodded weakly. You knew he was right. Even when you did not like the idea, you knew it would be stupid to protest. “Thank-you for not making me force you out of them” he sounded relieved. He helped you out of your clothes except for your underwear, what was to your luck at least somewhat dry. You were so embarrassed and thankful you were too cold to blush. To your relieve but also great surprise he took of his white haori and wrapped you in it. Then without a word he brought you both even closer to the fire and pulled you against his chest wrapping his arms around your torso and tangled his legs with yours. Your head fell from exhaustion against his chest, but he shook you awake “I am sorry, but you cannot sleep just yet. You just must fight a bit longer, until you are warmer. I kept the storm out of here, but you need to stay awake.” “I... I ...can’t „you muttered weakly. “You have to” you heard whisper him whisper something and warmth was taking over your body. Was that a healing kido? Slowly you began to feel your toes and fingers again and it the beginning it hurt, badly. You tried your best not to whimper or anything not wanting to seem weak in front of him or annoy him any further with that. “I am sorry. Just endure it for a bit longer. It will stop soon and then I will let you sleep.” He promised putting his chin on your head. The gesture made you feel save. After a few more minutes the pain faded, and you tried to move your fingers and toes. Relieve washed over you as you were able to. “See you are going to be okay.” He gently spoke to you, a bit like he was speaking to a child, but you could not care less. Actually, it made you feel better. Because you had felt like a lost child. Lost, alone and near to death just like your younger version before she found you, but know she was gone. She was gone and you had not been able to save her. No at the end it had been her who saved you, even when everything happened because of you and now you nearly wasted your life. The life she gave hers for. A broken sob escaped your lips. “Oi, do not cry. You'll be okay. You are alright. Everything will be alright so please stop crying.” He sounded a bit helpless and you really felt sorry for him, but you just could not stop crying. Suddenly he turned you around and pulled you again against his chest, wrapping his arms around you. “You need to stop crying. You are way too weak right now, you should not waste so much energy.” He made you look up and put his forehead against yours so that you had to look at him, while he strokes your tears away. His arresting eyes seemed to see through you, it felt like he could read your mind if he wanted to. His eyes were determined, yet warm and full of protectiveness. You felt like you were drowning in his eyes and after some time you calmed down. “Now, this is better.” He wrapped you again in his arms. “What is your name?” “(f/n), Sir” “And your last name?” You shook your head “I do not have one, never had, taicho.” “A strange young woman, you are” To your surprise he began to stroke your head” Now, the more important question. What were you doing out there?” You kept silent. Not knowing what to say. Now that you were still alive you knew you were in some other kind of trouble. You tried to turn away from him not being able to stand up to his gaze. “(f/n)” he slightly growled making you flinch. He then sighed and turned you around “Listen, you do not make anything better for yourself when you do not talk to me. Also, I have a feeling that this is about more than you just deciding to walk around in a snow storm in a place you are not allowed to go.” “I did not mean to... I got lost...and, and it was not snowing, well at least than...” he did not say a word, he just looked at you with somewhat reassuring eyes and nodded from time to time, to make clear you should continue. You did not know, why but you told him, told him everything. Even what you had not told your senseis about the Incident that took the life of your dear friend. You even told him of your past. Explained how she saved you when you were still children. How you came to the academy and how she was a real genius in honestly everything, while you kept messing up. How she always told you that you were just failing because you were scared of it and of the people around you, you had not the best experiences of people when you were a child, and that you two would become great Shinigami one day and how you would be at each other’s side. You also told him about some guys and girls from the academy who were above you. How they decided to pick on you and make your life a living hell. How your friend stood up for you and tried to protect you. How the guys and girls got into trouble and nearly got dispelled from the academy, because of it and how they threaded you. You told him of the fire, how you both somehow woke up far too late and how she pushed you outside before everything broke down on her. How you tried to free her but were not strong enough. How no kido seemed to work out and how you heard her scream from pain until she had lost the fight. You did not stop to try to get her out until you were pulled away from the flames. You had spent days in bed to recover from injuries but never really slept because her screams and the fire were haunting you. How you came back to the lessons and the people made fun of the death of your friend and how you realized that they had something to do with it but were too scared of them to tell anyone, since they were much stronger and older, and the teachers believed them because of their family status.  How you were scared that they might one day kill you too. How it was your fault your friend died and how days became weeks and how you decided to go for a walk just around the academy to get away from it all. That you got lost and everything until he found you. At the end you realized you began to cry again. “Geez, you are troublesome. I cannot even be mad at you. Still it was naive from you to just wander around like this and to not ask anyone for help. I understand why you did not, but honestly what were you planning to do in the end? Just hoping they might leave you alone one day?” He sighed “I guess it can't be helped. I will bring you back and we will find out who was responsible for that fire. Also, I will put an end to this people picking on you. Such cowards hurting someone younger and weaker than themselves. Also, for your punishment from now on you will be doing extra training. We will meet once a week to train, if you still want to become a Shinigami and for fill the dream you both had for the both of you. By the way I will tell not a single soul where I have found you. Be thankful for that, normally you would get dispelled from the academy or worse. We will make something up in the morning.” “Huh?” Was your only brilliant answer but who could blame you. He seemed to really believe you. Also, a captain going so far out of his way to help a mere inductee? That was seriously something unheard of.  More importantly how was getting the possibility to train with a captain a punishment?! Of course, that would mean more training but only the thought that he was willing to give some of his time, and you knew captains are really, busy, even so he just heard from your very own mouth that you were a complete failure. You just could not make any sense out of it. A shiver ran through your body, you were still quiet cold.  You were pulled closer to his chest as he had noticed that shiver too and he began to rub your arms in an attempt to get you a bit warmer. “Did I not make myself clear?” he asked you in a teasing tone. “B-but why...I do not understand…” You stuttered a bit overwhelmed with everything. “Firstly, it is the duty of the strong to protected those who are in need of protection, secondly as a captain I cannot let an inductee and promising new Shinigami making herself go through the suffer and pain you are feeling, watching you giving up on yourself. We would lose a good Shinigami, I cannot let that happen. You may think of yourself to be a failure, but you are wrong. I see the same potential in you, your friends must have seen. You are a fighter; most people would had already given up out there, but you did not. Also, when you cried you lost control over your spiritual pressure and even though you are quite weak right now because of what you went to it was strong enough to put someone who is not a Shinigami out of his balance, which is already quite impressive for an inductee of the first year. I wonder how none of your teachers noticed that and helped you out it is quite clear you do not know how to control it yet.” He sounded annoyed and you really hoped his annoyance was directed at your sensei’s and not at you. “So, do we have a deal?” He asked you shortly after. You nodded, only an idiot would decline that. “Good, it is Toshiro Hitsugaya by the way. I am the captain of the 10th division. Call me Captain Hitsugaya, Taicho what you like more. Oh, and when we are alone you are allowed to call me Toshiro.” You looked up stunned. You have heard of THE captain Hitsugaya, the young genius, the really, really strong young genius. Also, you were quite sure you heard mummers that there were really, and you meant really few people who were allowed or more precisely tolerated to call him by his first name. “Thank-you, Tai-Toshiro…” You blushed lightly. “It is quite alright. You seem to really need a friend and I would be glad to become one for you.” At this you began to cry, yet again. “Now, now, no more crying.” He hushed you. “Thank-you, thank-you so much…” You sniffed. “It is alright, everything is alright now. Oh and (f/n) do not dare to blame you for her death for a second longer, it was not your fault.” You cried even harder at that and were thankful for his strong arms wrapping themselves around you, bringing you in a close warm hug. “Common stop crying, how do you want to come in my squad when you cry all day.” He lightly joked and let go of you a bit to strike your tears away. You gasped as he let himself fall with you to the ground “Sleep now. Your body is warm enough now and you really need it.” As if his words were a command you felt your eyes close and you drifted off to sleep. “Who have thought a simple training trip would end up like this. I am just glad I collected some firewood in advance.” You heard Toshiro mutter before your world became silent and sleep took over.

Trigger warning : Mobbing and insecurities After you got readyyou joined the rest of the 10thdivision. The day was quite good until it became evening. Rangikuagain asked you to bring her papers to the captain but this time theywere actually finished. You began to have a feeling that there was aplan or system behind her always making you deliver the papers. Youwere quite close to Toshiros office already and were glad you had notto call for him in hopes he would here you or send him a massagetoday, meaning you had to caused any trouble for him, when suddenly ahand was put over your mouth "Have we not told you to not tellanyone and yet your wounds are healed as far as I can see even thescratches at your cheek have been taking care have. You had torealized that until now. Had Toshiro healed you while you weresleeping? "I do not remember you to be able to use healing kidos,or most kidos for that fact since you never mange to speak the wordscorrectly how pathetic." He laughed but then got dead serious. Heturned you around to face him, still with the hand on your moth andhis zanpakuto on your neck. One of the other ones, took yours fromyou. You had been so deep in your thought you had not felt them, evenwhen they were this near. You had been so close to the office. Justaround the corner down the floor. "Tell me who have you told?"His voice was silent to not get caught by anyone, but still it madeyou shiver. He suddenly grabbed your neck and but pressure on it,taking his hand of your mouth. You tried to kick him, but he justpushed you against a wall "Tell me!" you were not able to scream,there was only a whimper escaping your lips while you were fightingfor air. "Tell me, or you will be punished or maybe I should punishyou either way, what do you think of some fun with us?" The otherschuckled and his other hand began to move to your chest. No! PleaseNo! "Tai-cho...please..." Suddenly there was a huge spiritualpressure. It made the group around you stumble and look around inpanic, some were having trouble to even stand. Out of nowhere youwere let go but something stop you from falling down holding you upright against something warm and soft. Another body? The man beforeyou had fallen to his knees holding his arm which was covered inblood and ..ice? The ice was spreading all over his body. He began toscream, to beg for mercy, but the ice would not stop. You noticedeveryone around you was meeting the same fate their bodies wereslowly taken over by ice. "Mercy?" You heard your captains voicebut it was not warm like the times he spoke to you neither annoyed,it was cold, cold as ice. "You are pathetic. Hurting a single youngwoman, nearly still a girl. Five against one, you must be reallyscared of her. You pitful cowards. You are banned from my divisionand there will be a trial for what you have done. You are lucky I donot kill you or make you suffer than just giving you a fewfrostbites, but if you ever dare to hurt her in anyway or even justscare her, you will deeply regret it." Now you understand how itcame that people said he was cold and emotionless, still you feltnothing but safe by his side and h about the fact, that the handwhich was not at his zanpakuto, rubbed small calming circles at yourarm while pressing you against his chest. The ice continued to growuntil they had visible problems to breath, but were still somehowable to do so " I am just returning the favor" Toshiro spoke thenhe turned you around and let his eyes wander over you. You tried tofight back the tears, but it was hard so really hard and the momenthis eyes became soft and warm you lost the fight and a sob escapedyour lips. He pulled you up in his arms and flashstepped away withyou. He brought you in his office and gently laid you down on thecoach. " I lost th-the papers.." you were still barely able tospeak and it hurt, it hurt a lot even just breathing hurt. "I-""Hush, now" He put a finger on your lips silencing you. "Stoptalking you idiot, you hurt yourself" he said, put his tone waswarm. Then he began without another word to heal you. After hefinished he stood up and left the room returning with tray and twocups of tea and one cup of water. In the meantime you had managed tosit up but you did not dare to look in his eyes. You had been sohelpless and caused him trouble. "Here, drink" he was holding thecup of water in front of you. You tried to take it but your handswere shaking badly. "I guess it can't be helped" he said softlyand if you had looked up you had seen his warm small smile. Hewithout letting you more time to react put the cup to your lips andmade you drink. He was making sure you drank the whole cup beforeputting it back to the table. Then you heard him growl "I shouldhave punished them more, now I see how scared they got you and howbadly they affected you, you are still shaking..." his voice wasgetting softer to the end "How long?" "Si-ince the day I camehe-here" "I should have made you tell me the first day I noticedsomething was off. They threaded you to not tell anyone, right?"You just nodded weakly, You still felt pathetic and weak. "You knowyou could have beat them yourself, you are stronger then them believeme. Do not think of you as weak, I know you do, I can see it clearlyin your eyes and your body language is screaming it, really. Stopbeing sorry or thinking about being a burden, having caused troubleand I do not know what else. You know being afraid is not generally abad thing. You react better, when you are scared, notice more, areeven able to use more of your physical abilities but being terrifiedcan also be like a poison when something brings us to the point ofnot being able to move. You must have been so scared. Feeling alone,afraid to tell anyone, or what would happen when you fight back,until it all did not matter anymore, because you just were terrifiedwhat they would do next. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It is noteasy to get your feelings under control especially in a fight  andfear is one of the hardest to contain. That needs practices andexperience. This is definitely nothing you were supposed to learn atthe academy you know?" You shyly look up and saw his gaze directlyat you, when your eyes met new tears began to form in your eyes. Without a word he pulled you in his chest and wrapped you in his arms "You are safe now." he promised you and you stopped fighting againstit and just cried while rambling words and thoughts " I- I was ..I..so scared...they ..th-they tried t-to want-" "Hey, it's okay. Iwill never let them harm you." He held you close until you calmeddown. Then he persisted for you to drink some tea. "I am sorry ittook me so long. I was keeping track of your spirit pressure all thetime the moment I sensed the change I was in a meeting with Commander Byakuya so it took me a moment to come back to the quarters.""Y-you just left him standing there?" "Ye-eah" he admitted "I just said I had to take care of something. I guess I have toexplain it to him later. " "There is no need. I fully understandnow why you needed to go. My apologies for interrupting. I followedyou since this behavior is not like you,  Commander Hitsugaya" Wereit your nerves or did Byakuya really sound warm and understanding? "Iwill take care of the group outside if this is alright with you."Hitsugaya nodded " Thank-you that would be a great help" Byakuyaturned around " Oh and you should make sure the poor girl eatssomething she is quiet pale" Commander Byakuya added and left. Toshiros gaze was on you again " He is right you should eatsomething" You nodded weakly. "ca-captain?" "Mhm?" "I-Iknow i-it is not my my pl-place to ask an-and really qu-quite sillybu-but could I stay in your a-arms just a moment l-longer" youspoke, softly getting quiet to the end, afraid of his reaction. Toyour great surprise he pulled you without a word  in his arms, sothat your head was laying safely at his chest. "Thank-you taicho"you shyly muttered " and thank- thank-you so much for rescuing me"He shrugged " Kind of comes with the job description. I am yourcommander it is my duty and my honor to watch over your safety. Ohand (y/n) you are really welcome." A yawn escaped your lips. Thestress of the last hour was taking its tool on you making you tiredand your mind dizzy. A wave of exhaustion hit you and with the smellof you captain and his warmth  you began to feel intoxicated."Taicho? Why do you call me by -by my f-first name. You  seem toca-call everyone else by there their lastnames." Toshiro began tostroke your hair in a calming manner "That is true there are fewpeople I call by their firstname. For you there is quite a simplereason. I figured it would make you feel more save. Matsumoto saidyou always flinched when she choose to use your lastname so I decidedagainst it. Also you should know I heard a few thinks about yourfamily from Captain Kuchiki. He met your family a few timeswhen you were still a bit younger he even met you, but he said youwere probably too young to remember. He told me the way your parentsact to you and some more things and I want you to know that it doesnot matter if  they think  you are good enough, the only one you needapproval  from is yourself. If it helps I would be really proud if Ihad a daughter who made it in the 13 Gotei and left the Academy withthe grades you did. Also I am proud of you as your captain." Hepatted your head "Come now we need to get you something to eatbefore you fall asleep..wait are you crying yet again? Geez you aretroublesome" but he laughed about the last part and you had tothink that his laugh was beautiful. "Taich" "Leave theformalities when we are alone (y/n). I am not even using yourlastname, it would only be fair like this." You blushed at this.You knew for a fact that his title was important to him cause he wasso young and he did not want to be underestimated by people."Thank-you Toshiro" "See, better." He stood up and simplypicked you up along with it "Tai-Toshiro? I-I can wa-walk youknow?" He gave you a look "In all honestly I highly doubt that.Not after that state you were in. Also it really su-suits you whenyou blush" Wait was he, was THE captain Hitsugaya flirting withyou?! And did he just blush? That was not possible, definitely notpossible. You meant yes you had a crush on him, since the very firstday you saw him walking by when you were still in the academy and hewas there for you actually did not know what for, but you were morethan sure someone like him would never as much as spare you a glance.Yet, he ... he... "Cat caught your tongue?" He teased havingfound his cool and cold manner back. You shyly look up and found hiseyes directly at you. "I...I" You blushed "you, you are reallyare adorable" and there he blushed again, but he did not look awaythis time. "I would like to test something, but please...do..do nothit me yeah.. I just have a feeling you might will like ...likeit..." Suddenly he had but you down on your feet again, but wasstill holding you with one arm near his chest, while he grabbed yourchin with hos other hand lightly titled it up and kissed you. Youfelt his lips on yours, the kiss was soft, not in anyway demanding,just soft, caring, lovingly. You were so confused, your heart seemedto run and you felt your legs getting weak as you shyly  kissed back,your eyes closed. He gently broke the kiss and you opened your eyes,looking directly in his shining orbs and this was the moment yourlegs simply gave up and you would have fallen, if it had not been forhis strong and protective grip on you. "See I told you I doubt youwould be able to walk" He teased you and you blushedprofessionally. "T-to-toshi" "Mhm?" He hummed and picked youup yet again, holding you close to him. "I take it you like me, toosince you kissed back" He was smirking proudly, but there was alsoa small blush evident on his cheeks.  You nodded shyly and tried tohid in his chest, but he was not having that. He dipped you in hisarms "Good then there is no reason for me to not do this" and thenext moment his lips claimed yours again, this time more passionate.He left you breathless. "You...you know..that was the other reason,why I really wanted you in my division. I sorry I must have caughtyou of guard with all this, it is just after I saw you hurt like thatI could not help myself but wanted to make you feel loved andappreciated." Now he was definitely blushing, a lot. "Every timeI was in the academy to get a look at the skills o you and others Ifell more for you. For the way you acted to others, every singledetail I had the luck to see of your personality and of course in thebeauty of the beautiful shinigami in my arms. You know I was thinkingoften about talking to you back there, especially when you felt down,but I always fearded I would not be able to hide my feelings and didnot want to push you in any direction or give you the feeling you hadto join my division or something like this" Toshiro all butstumbled over his words you smiled at him and you knew your face wasreally, really red and your heart was warm and beating fast. Shylyyou put a hand to his cheek and tried to get up a  bit in his arms,so you put your hands on his shoulders and really wanted to kiss him,but your shyness was getting in your way and you began to think aboutit way too much until suddenly he was kissing you. "You areworrying too much" he whispered between two kisses "do not bescared" He encouraged you and kissed your forehead. You blushedagain but were still too shy to began a kiss yourself "(y/n) juststop thinking and kiss me, Captains order" he smirked at you andthe way he look at you took your breath. You were sure he would bethe death of you. He got a smock grin on his face. And say they youare emotionless, they have no idea, you thought. You took a deepbreath " I..I really like you ...captain" and with that youfinally kissed him. " and I you" He responded after the kiss andhis eyes held so much warmth. " Now we really need to get yousomething to eat" he stated. He walked with you out of the quartesand outside he said you down because he figured you would not like tobe in the middle of the attention and oh you would have been for sureif he continued to carry you, still he did put his arm around yourwaist and pulled you close to him. After you both had eatensomething he said you should head back and you were confused when hedid not lead you to your quarters but to his "Like I said I can notleave you alone after what had happen earlier  and I also do not wantto allow you to leave my side." He gave you some clothes from himto sleep and they really were a bit to big for you and waited foryou. This time you fell a sleep in his arms to him whispering sweetnothings in your ear. "sleep well there is no need to cry anymore I will protect you"~

a lot of fluff, self consciousness, angst

Enjoy ^-^ This story plays after the 4th season. John and Sherlock decided that John and Rosie should life in the Baker-street together. Sherlock thought it would be better for John who was still suffering from losing Marry and he also actually liked to have Rosie around him, not that he would ever admit that in front of anyone except for small little Rosie, yet everyone somehow already figured it out and just smiled silently about the detective. John on the other hand thought it would be better for Sherlock to not life alone and even if he did not want to really say it out loud he knew deep down the he just know needed a true friend by his side and his best friend was without any doubt Sherlock Holmes. Also Rosie loves Sherlock and Misses Hudson became like a Grandmother to her. Oh and do not forget about the third person living in Bakerstreet 221B (y/n) (l/n). She was a young university student and Rosie's Babysitter. How she came to live with the three of them? At first she was simply Rosie's Babysitter, but then her friend she lived with in a small cheap apartment close to the university had to change her place of study because of her fathers wishes. (y/n) was not able to pay the bills on her own and was desperately searching for a new place, but finding a not too expensive place became an unmanageable task.  Then one day John asked her again to watch over Rosie and despite her stress and problems she could not say no to the man looking pleadingly at her. It was late at night Rosie was fast asleep and you were trying hard to stay awake in front of your computer, currently writing yet another message in hopes of getting a place to stay. Your time was running short and you began to feel helpless. Tears started to sting in your eyes, as suddenly your laptop was closed . You jumped and nearly screamed but Sherlock had put a hand on your lips: “ We do not want to wake up Rosie, do we?  I am sorry for scaring you, dear.” he let go of you and you took a deep breath still a bit straddled but now getting calmer knowing it was him. He always had something about him that calmed you. You smiled sheepishly at  him, a little embarrassed to get scared so easily and not noticing him beforehand. He just looked at you and for a short second you thought he looked worried, but you must have imagined that. Sherlock never looked worried at people except for very few very special people and you surely were not one of them. You were still surprised you were even worth his attention. “Oh (y/n) you are still awake? You know you could sleep on the sofa or take the bed in the spare room.” Yes, the apartment had more rooms than it would seem. There were John's, Sherlock's, Rosie's, the main room, the kitchen, the bath and the spare room.  “Well, yeah..” you laughed silently but it sounded hollow to you . You did not want to bother them with your problem so ..“ I still had some work from university I..” “Liar” Sherlock interrupted you looking not very pleased with you. It was hard to stand against his gaze so you averted your eyes and looked down. “She is desperately looking for a place to life, since her friend is leaving the apartment and probably even the university” Sherlock explained for John. “How do you..” said man started and Sherlock rolled his eyes: “ It is obvious really. The fact that something is wrong was evident since you asked her yesterday. She immediately excepted. Normally she would need few minutes to ask  her friend if she was okay with it, because they only have one key, since she lost hers  a few days ago when she came here, meaning they would have to match their plans. Could be vacation but it is  the end of the term and the exams should start the next few days, no student goes for a break so close to the exams, so something has changed. When she arrived here her whole body was tensed and her smile was clearly forced, even you noticed it John, you mentioned to me you were worried about her, when we got the cab. Also she was clinking to her apartment key for her dear life. She has long left her apartment but instead of putting it in her bag she  held it all the time. My line of thoughts was confirmed when I found her just a minute ago with tears close to spill in her  eyes and  shaking hands in front of a page with many apartments. The only question is..” he looked at you again “Why did you not ask for help? I know you have not a really close relationship to your parents. You talk with love and admiration about everyone in your life, but you only talk about your parents when you are asked about it and even then you only give short neutral answers. Also they are quite distant and strict towards you. You were utterly confused when you saw first how John behaves towards Rosie. He is a really caring dad and Rosie loves to cuddle a lot. There was something sad in your eyes, also you were constantly afraid to make mistakes in our eyes and make us angry, more than people would normally worry about it. Could also have been a abusive or short tempered boyfriend but you did not lie when you answered Misses Hudsons Questions, saying you never had a boyfriend, also I never found you in physical harm. Your roommate also could not be the reason, you love her dearly. So for a behavior this strong with out a recent trauma, it must be a behavior learned on from a young age, so probably parents. Which fits with you never talking about them. This out of the way, the true question is, why did you not ask us for help? John is quite thankful for your work and made it clear to you he would be happy to help you out if there would ever be the need, still you just lied to us. If you asked me, you stupidly believed it would be wrong to bother us, but if you need help you should take every help you can get especially if someone already told you he would gladly help you.” When Sherlock finished you felt exposed and like an total idiot but on the same time you knew he was right. Also it really surprised you how much he had watched over you. You had always thought he would see you as unimportant and would ignore you, seeing he usually does not really talk to you, or spare you more than a glance. “ I...I am sorry...You are right..I really need a place to stay...and I am going out of options...” “Say John, do you feel like we really need a spare room?” Sherlock then asked to your grate confusion. “You mean...” John started and then understood” of course she can live here. Rosie would love it and I think she would be a joy to have around and Misses Hudson surely is not against it she  really likes (y/n).” “The bill is not even expensive when we share it through two, with three people it would be more than affordable for you. I hope you have nothing against violins. You should already be used to my experiments.” Sherlock finished. So this was how you ended up living with Sherlock, Rosie and John. One weekend John and Rosie went to visit Johns parents leaving you and Sherlock alone in the flat. You were sitting on the table in the main room and working on a exam while Sherlock was playing the violin. You were already exhausted but you felt like you were not doing any good and still needed to do way too much to stop for now even when you still had some days time ahead of you. You never had much self-confidence but this exam and the always shouting professor of the class were getting the worst of you. One day he had picked you out of the mass of students and made you feel like a complete idiot in front of everyone asking you question you never heard or knew the answer of . Before that, you thought you could manage this class but since that day you just found you failing over and over at the exercises and could not find yourself able to follow the lessons. To even worsen your situation, the exam you had to finish was quite important and you were scared to mess it up. Still you had not talked about it. Not even with John who was looking after you like you were a younger sister or a second daughter, neither did you talk to Sherlock even when you got his look that said 'There is clearly something wrong with you talk to us. Sherlock would never say it out loud but he was looking after you just like John. In his own special way Sherlock look after you like you were a little sister to him. That went so far that even Mycroft   started to watch over you. Yet, you never realized that the Holmes brothers especially Sherlock cared about you. You liked both of them very much, but you were too self conscious to think these two genius could care about a simple girl like you. You thought Sherlock took you in, because it would make things easier for John and Rosie and the bill for everyone shorter and that he talked to you because you were simply there, same going for Mycroft. Of course the two brothers noticed, but being them they found it hard to show you how important you have become for them in the last months. You sighed frustrated as you read the same line for the third time “ You know you should go to sleep, you look awfully tired, young lady” Sherlock spoke up. “I..” you yawned “I just have to get a bit further” Sherlock rolled his eyes “ and you believe you will be any good in you current state?” He stated the obvious.  “Just a little bit more....” Sherlock said nothing to it and began to play again. After a few seconds you realized it was a lullaby. That clever bastard, you thought. You could see him smirking when you took a look over your shoulder. He knew that you have fallen asleep to him playing this exact song, he had written a few months ago, many times before. Every time you went into the kitchen to get some water after another nightmare, you had quite many because of bad car accident you had to witness a few weeks ago, Sherlock was still awake not saying a word to you but when you went back into your room you heard him play this song. The first time you thought of it as coincidence the detective has the oddest hours to play, but after a few times you realized that that by no chance could be a coincidence anymore. You began to really love the song. It made you feel save and remembered you that he was there, playing. You were not alone, you were save at his watch. He never spoke about it but you somehow just knew the meaning of his song and always fell asleep to it. This fact was making it really hard for you not to fall asleep and before you noticed your head was on the table and you were dozing off. You felt something warm circling around your waist and arms and your eyelashes fluttered but a gentle voice made you close them again “It's just me, you are okay. Sleep you are save” you knew this tone. He uses it for Rosie and also when he ever has to calm the few people he sees as friends. It is a gently tone, gentle caring and protective and you were more than honored when he first used it for you. It was straight after you had seen that terrible accident. You had somehow found your way to the baker-street. You were a trembling mess. Sherlock and Mycroft were playing a party of chess, while everyone else were out for a walk in the park. “Dear God what happened to you,(y/n)?” Mycroft had asked and you remember that you were confused he remembered your name, when your legs gave up on you and you just fell to the ground crying. That day was the first time Sherlock used that tone on you. It was also the first time the detective hugged you. He even carried you to your bed and pulled the blanked over you. You had never seen someone die before. You cared much for other people so that experience haunted you. You were totally overwhelmed. You faintly remember Mycroft and Sherlock talking to you. Getting an idea what had happened and tried to calm you down. Even when John arrived Sherlock did not leave your side. You apologized a day later at the two for having had to deal with you but Sherlock just said it was a completely normal reaction especially for someone your age and Mycroft agreed. “Sherlock” you mumbled “Please I really still need to work on that exam.” “No you will not and there is no need to it for today. I know for a fact that you have several days left to finish it” he lifted you in his arms and began to carry you to your room. You knew you had by now more than lost against the detective but you were too afraid to go to sleep and kept on trying. But when you started to move his grip just got tighter. He was really stronger than one would expect. “Stop fighting a fight you know you have already lost.” he was still using this soft tone knowing it was calming you. He put you down on your bed and to your great surprise sat at the side of your bed. It was already dark in your room. He had turned out the lights and you could see the stars John brought to the ceiling, saying it might calm you when you wake up from a nightmare. You at first felt like a small child, but then you realized you loved it. Your parents never did such things for you, saying you needed to be an adult even when you were still a kid and quite scared of the dark.   A hand began to stroke your head and you froze before giving in to the feeling. It was a nice feeling. It was just strange for Sherlock to act like this. Still you really liked it. Suddenly you felt like you should talk to him about your exam. Like he wants you to talk about it with him. “Sherlock..?” “Mhm, what is bothering you  (y/n)?” you slightly said up and were surprised that Sherlock put an arm around you to support you, his hand gently rubbing your back in  a soothing manner. “ I...I am scared..I...I feel so dump and like a total idiot...I can not pass that exam  Sherlock...I just won't make it..I am scared...I see it ..I still see all this pictures in the night..” you told him everything about the exam, about the bad experience with your professor and about the nightmares and how they stole your sleep. He just listened and when you finished you realized you were crying and you could not stop. You know it was not a life threatening thing you had to deal with, but it still really scared you and stressed you out. Also you had for too long kept silent about it. Sherlock surprised you by pulling you into a hug. You knew he hates hugs, at least he always states it, but he seemed to know that you needed one and was willing to give you the feeling  safety you needed. “Your okay, ….calm down... your alright. Get some sleep. Tomorrow I help you with your exam, what do you say? Also you will see everything gets easier when you have slept a bit. You can do this, dear. You are more than clever enough to do it. You are just self conscious and stressed. Everything is alright. I think I will have to meet your professor and  have a serious talk with him.  Do not worry about the exam. You got this, you will see and I am here for you. This also goes for the nightmares. You can always come to me, even when I am a sleep, I will do my best to calm you and they will get better with time and you talking about the whole thing, so that your head can comprehend everything that has happened. You can also go to John he often said he would feel better when you would come to us when you had another nightmare instead of crying alone in your bed until you cried so long that you need a glass of water and normally  meet me in the main room.” he helped you lay you down “Sleep now...you are save, I watch over you” just before sleep consumed you you managed to mutter “Thank-you Sherlock” and somehow you knew he was smiling.
