Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach) - Extra: Heal.

“Ensure that you monitor the progress of each subject.”

“Yes taicho!”

“Submit the results to me.”

“On it Taicho!”

“All of the experiments were a success. Get these to Nemu immediately.”

“I’ve got it, Taicho!”

You’re not sure how, but you’ve become his actual apprentice. Nemu is typically the one constantly at his side, and you’ve just been around whenever he requests helping Nemu however you can and running minor errands to ensure Mayuri’s research stays on track.

Initially you were worried that you wouldn’t be up to it, but you’ve learned a lot and he doesn’t seem completely annoyed by your presence the way he is with other reapers.

Like Kenpachi Zaraki.

Given the track record of that captain, you supposed you could understand why he would be irritated with the fight obsessed male.

You laugh at the thought. You’ve actually been learning quite a lot, and Nemu is always willing to guide you accordingly. You’d like to say that your feelings are under control, but that’s not true. Being around him so often has made things worse because you see all the sides of him. Like his enthusiasm when he makes a discovery, or even the fights he has with Kenpachi whenever they end up in the same room. Maybe even how attentive he is with you.

It makes you feel as though on some level, he might care. But then you’re reminded that for him, it’s unlikely and this unrequited love feels like a knife to your heart. You feel as though you’re not doing that good a job of covering your feelings. Then again, no one has noticed.

With a sigh, you shake the thought.

“There’s no use dwelling on unpleasant things.”

You should focus on your job as his subordinate.

That’s what you decide as you walk into his personal lab.

You’re used to coming and going as you please, so when you step into the room, you don’t think much of it.

“Kurotsuchi-taicho is there anything else that you would…”

You pause mid sentence, because his back is turned to you and his captain’s coat is hanging off his shoulder. It looks like he’d planned to get changed. His gaze shows disinterest and you feel as though you just stepped on a landmine, because if you’d come in just a few moments later, it’s possible you probably would have caught him in a much more scandalous state of undress.

“I-I should not have entered without permission, please excuse me!”

You tried to make a break for it, but he grabbed your wrist and you halted.

“You’re very transparent.”

That made you stiff. You didn’t have to turn around, you could almost feel what it all meant.

That he knows it, everything.

You tremble, lips quivering.

“I-I don’t know what you mean Taicho.”

All you can do is pretend, because being at his side is all you ever wanted. If he knows about your feelings, then this could all be over.

“Look at me (Y/N).”

Your shaky gaze moves to him, and you expect agitation, of the nonchalance he wears when facing situations that he has no interest in. But instead, he’s watching you, as if assessing everything. You mean to say something, clear it all up, but he takes one step forward and you let out a soft gasp at his simple movement.

When his lips press to your own, you’re almost convinced that you’ve imagined the whole thing. It takes all of two seconds before you’re grabbing him by the front of his robes to deepen the kiss. You’re holding onto him as if one movement will cause it all to vanish.

Mayuri is the one who pulls back, lets out a heavy breath, and you don’t give him a chance for much more. This time you push, and you see the look of surprise on his face when you both tumble on the bed.

You’re now straddling him, and the hooded expression is as clear as day.

You haven’t really loosened your hold on him, and he doesn’t get a chance to speak, because your lips claim his mid word. For a few moments he watches your desperate expression as you kiss him, and slowly, he closes his eyes, submitting to each heated touch.

His reciprocation makes you moan, especially when his hand slides into your hair and he gently parts his lips to allow you the access you so desperately want. Your tongues touch and his hand moves to grip at the robes on your waist. You just hold on tighter.

This is all you wanted and more.

You’re content, and from the feel of his kiss, so is Mayuri.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach) - Chapter 1

“Is that her?”

“Shh, not so loudly, she might hear you.”

You really wish you could banish what you feel. But you suppose you prefer them viewing you as a coward rather than a monster.

The sight of a few of the captains walking brings an unsettling feeling and even worse memories.

“(Y/N)!!!!”

Rukia’s call echoed, her body trembling. She could see the blood.

So much.

The sword protruding from your chest should have you crippled, but you were still standing. Rukia was paralyzed as you stood over the hollow. Byakuya watched. His sword had been drawn for battle, but you were standing before what seemed like the last hollow, remorse not present on your face.

“W-Wait you heartless reaper w-wa-”

You rammed your hand through its mask, its body disintegrating shortly after.

This particular mission had taken a turn for the worse. It became apparent that these hollows were too much when one of them had managed to get a hold of your blade. The very sword that is now impaled in your chest. The second the captains were alerted of the chaos, they’d rushed over immediately.

If they expected anything, it wasn’t a reaper taking out hollows with their bare hands.

Toshiro was in a similar state of shock.

There were multiple indents in the ground and they could only assume you had something to do with it. Rukia’s body was beaten, and yours seemed much worse, yet you were still standing.

You finally turned in their direction and Toshiro had to admit he didn’t like the dead look in your eyes.

“We need to be careful, she could be dangerous.”

That’s the word he used that day.

“Dangerous..”

Any other reaper would have been praised for taking down six hollows single handedly. That was something the eleventh squad members loved to boast about, but you’d practically begged the head captain to keep it all a secret. Every reaper below the title of captain was unaware of your situation.

Rukia was the only one who knew because she’d seen it first hand.

You wish that you could rid it, the terrified look she wore. When you finally gained consciousness, you woke up in squad four and you were circled by captains. All of which were looking at you as if you would strike at any moment.

You hated it, and you knew it wasn’t intentional. But you couldn’t help but feel like the enemy.

Like something that should be eradicated.

You kept your eyes forward as you stepped into twelfth division, you were greeted by Nemu and of course that crazy scientist.

“Ah, if it isn’t my favorite experiment."

He twiddled his fingers in that creepy way, smiling in a way that always had an unpleasant chill rushing up your spine.

“Please don’t do anything weird Kurotsuchi-taicho.”

Yesterday he’d literally made markers on your body when you fell asleep. You had to check just to make sure he hadn’t stolen an organ while you were just trying to catch a nap.

“I am only conducting the necessary experiments to fully study your healing. Nemu, bring me the syringe.”

“Hai, Mayuri-sama.”

She picks up the item from the table, walking over as she hands it to him.

“Sorry for the discomfort.” Nemu says beforehand.

The needle is quite long. You just give her a smile.

“Compared to the crazy stuff he’s already stuck inside me, I think the needle is the least of my problems.”

You hold out your arm, and Mayuri takes your wrist, injecting you with who knows what. His eyes are firmly planted on your form. More specifically, your lack of reaction. He casts a look in Nemu’s direction, and she nods soundlessly. You raise a brow with a tilt of your head.

Mayuri retracts the needle, dropping it into a nearby bin.

“Interesting.”

He reaches for a small clipboard, taking notes. When he’s done, he rips the sheet off, handing it to Nemu.

“Please send this to Akon.”

“Yes, Mayuri-sama.” She takes it, walking away. When the door shuts behind her you sit there waiting.

“Are we done?”

“For now. Return tomorrow.”

You nod, standing as you stretch your arm experimentally. The needle has left some residual blood, and you stare at it.

“We cannot take a chance of sending her on missions until this situation is dealt with. We have no way of telling who she sees as an ally or enemy in that state.” Toshiro argued.

All you could do is stand there as the captains decided whether or not you were fit to do your job.

“I can run the necessary tests to ensure that we have no reason to eliminate her.”

The choice of words made your eyes widened and Jushiro stepped forward, clearly displeased.

“She is not something to be removed!”

“Regardless of your personal views, we are unaware of what she’s capable of. I can help. Let me test her.”

Looks were exchanged around the room. No one really trusted Mayuri not to carry out crazy experiments, but the uncertainty seemed just as unnerving to them.

“Very well, starting today you will be in Mayuri Kurotsuchi’s care.”

You just bowed your head.

“Yes, I understand.”

It was painful watching them decide your faith like that.

You had no say in anything. In a way, you’re grateful to Mayuri. Not just for his input, but possibly his indifference. You chuckle, and he turns at the sound.

“Is something funny?”

He sounds a bit annoyed, probably because you haven’t left yet.

“It’s nothing really, it’s just that you’re probably the only one who doesn’t look at me like a monster.”

You smile, but there is nothing humorous about it.

Mayuri just watches you.

“You’re quite stupid.”

“H-Hey!!”

He waves his hand casually.

“Why would I look at such a precious specimen like a monster? Your entire makeup is exquisite. You can’t expect a simple minded being to understand the extent of your power. Fear of the unknown is for foolish beings who lack the understanding of how the world works. Do not insult my intelligence.”

You can’t really say much because that’s probably the nicest thing that this mad scientist has ever said to you.

Looking down, you can’t help but flush. Him of all people shouldn’t be the one giving you a pep talk. This guy is pretty much a maniac.

Maybe that’s the lesson.

Monster, mad scientist..maniac.

Maybe the problem is the labels that are used to perceive things that are different.

Despite yourself, you smile, shaking your head.

“Arigatou, Kurotsuchi-taicho.”

He looks over at you, and the smile that you wear just makes him click his tongue.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. “

You still smile.

“Hai!”

There might be more to your abilities than what you initially thought.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach) - Chapter 8 -Final

When Renji was asked to deliver paperwork to the twelfth squad, he did not expect to hear what was going on behind the door.

“I-It’s too big! I-It won’t fit!”

Mayuri grunted.

“Quit your squirming, it’s almost in.”

Another sound left your lips and Renji slammed the door open.

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING!!”

He was huffing and you both turned your head. Renji’s face was blank when he saw the metal box in your hand. It looked like one of the many items the research lab tended to tinker with. You were holding one side as Mayuri held the other trying to push a pole through the very narrow hole.

“Is there a reason you’re yelling?”

Mayuri did not seem amused and Renji rubbed his head angrily, handing over the papers as he stormed off.

“Why was he so mad?” You quizzed.

Mayuri could care less. He dropped the device disinterested.

“I’ll have to construct a new one.” He advised.

You just nod, following his lead.

It’s not weird for you to be working with Mayuri. He’s begun to bring you in on a few of his projects. Nemu typically did most of the heavy lifting since you lack the knowledge in this field. So you just helped in any way you can.

Mayuri is digging through one of the closets and you stand at the side, waiting for instruction. He straightens, looking a bit irritated.

“It seems that was our last modifier. I’ll have to build another from scratch.” He doesn’t look too happy.

“I’m going to take a shower.”

He did that sometimes when he just needed to think.

“Don’t worry about a thing, I’ll be right here.”

With a bright smile, you salute. Mayuri is used to your behavior. You think he’s just going to leave, but he moves closer to you. When he places a hand on your cheek, you immediately flush. He leans in, pressing a kiss to your lips. When he pulls back, he just licks his lips, heading off. Leaving you there with steam practically coming out of your head.

“Kurotsuchi-taicho..”

He’s been doing that a lot. Hitting you with those little affectionate surprises. You watch the path that he’d left, cheeks warm.

“How unfair.”

He really knows how to get you frazzled.

For the next fifteen minutes you try to tidy up the lab. His space is typically a little messy and although he never voices it, he does appreciate when you organize his stuff. You’ve figured out a system where he can have a sense of organized chaos. This way he’s content and it isn’t messy.

Once you’re done you feel a sense of accomplishment. Your eyes spot a particular file and when you see your name, you can’t help but peek into it.

You flip it open, reading over the scribbled notes.

“(Y/N) (L/N) holds a remarkable amount of power. Her consciousness is physically linked to her zanpaktou. My studies have uncovered that during the rebellion, her weapon may have been of the few unaffected by Maramusa’s control. Her abilities need to be studied closely.”

You scan through the many notes, all with dates attached, marking progress and or breakthroughs.

“My analysis was correct, her zanpaktou is able to reconstruct itself. Intriguing indeed.”

“There has been a change since she has been reinstated as a reaper. Her body is not completely affected by physical injuries. Her healing factor has remarkably improved. I need to study her progress.”

One particular sheet seems tucked a bit under the rest. You slide it out.

“It seems I’m beginning to have a physical response to her. I initially thought my interest in her power was attracting me, but this is both chemical and emotional. I have been having certain thoughts. Examining her, exploring her, entering her..”

Your eyes widen and you drop the paper, face red.

The date on the sheet lines up with the time you’d started coming in more frequently after you’d been approved to return to duty. The thought of him thinking of you that way since then, it makes you hot. You always thought Mayuri was emotionally unattached back then. So of course you never even considered the both of you. It was enough just to be with him.

Seeing his thoughts so effortlessly expressed on the paper is affecting you.

Yes, you both have shared kisses, but it hasn’t advanced any further than that.

The thought of him doing all those things he’d written is invigorating, arousing.

“What are you doing?”

You spin around, ready to deny everything, but the sight before you is another shock to your system. The man standing there is not the one who’d walked out of the room earlier .

Blue hair, even features. He’s wearing nothing but the bottom part of his robes, and you let out a shaking breath. You’d like to say this is another person, but that nonchalant stare and those eyes, you’d recognize them anywhere. You can’t believe that you never once wondered what he looked like underneath all that makeup. Your brain just sort of came to the conclusion that he was born that way.

His hair is still dripping, and he frowns.

“Are you that put off by my appearance?”

Put off was definitely not the word you would use. You can’t get any words out, and he flash steps, landing right in front of you. He looks ready to say something, but he takes in the way your eyes shake, your lips quivers. Cheeks bright red.

His eyes shift to the table, and when he sees the document you’d just been reading, they move back in your direction.

“Does it scare you.”

It sounds more like a challenge than a question. He’s just looking at you and you feel as though you’ll combust on the spot.

“Are you terrified?”

Another challenge, almost like he wants to hear your reply. He wants an honest evaluation.

You finally work up what little courage you have. Reaching out your hand, he just watches. You place it right on his chest, and your heart beat increases. This time when you look at him, Mayuri is the one who feels as though he should backtrack, because the desire you express hits him with the precision of a sharp blade, right through his chest.

“Mayuri..”

It’s the first time you’ve called him so informally, and he decides at that moment that he never wants to hear any different. His lips slant over yours with the urgency of a man that’s been starved. Your body is pulled to his and you welcome it. You don’t truly register it when he once again disappears. It only becomes apparent when you feel your back on the softness of a mattress. Mayuri parts, only to look at you. Those golden hues seem to have changed to a darker color, or maybe that’s just your imagination. His desire is a mirror of your own. He’s fairly built, not that you’re surprised. His robes have always given an outline of broad shoulders. Now you have the pleasure of seeing them without the restrictions of those clothing.

“Is this what you want?”

The fact that he asks, as if ensuring that you’re comfortable, makes you want it even more. You nod, reaching for your own robes as you begin pulling and tugging to get them loose. A smirk plants itself on his lips at your impatience. He helps you to sit upright, gently pushing your hands away so he can assist. 

Your hands lower, and he easily slides the knot at your waist loose. The entire garment comes apart, and the material sags on your shoulder. All of his movements are so slow, controlled, like he’s trying to enjoy this entire moment. Mayuri is so much more tender than you expect for someone who usually displays no emotional or romantic interest.

It takes a moment and you’re completely naked. His tongue slides over his upper lip, almost like he’s dying to finally kiss every inch of your body. He shoots forward, kissing you and you both fall back onto the bed. You can feel the tightness of his muscles, and the cloth of his lower robes that are brushing your legs. You moan at the friction. It’s when he finally cups your breast that you truly cry out. Mayuri pulls back, smirking as he litters your neck with kisses.

“What a beautiful sound..”

You whimper, because his lips seem to be moving down. You’re still a bit dazed from the touch, so you don’t register it until he parts your legs. Your brain picks up with the rest of your body and the last thing you see is that little smirk before his lips find your center. Your eyes spring open at the sensation and you grasp at the pillow at the sides of your head with his tongue invading your most sensitive area.

“M-MAYURI!!

Your scream could probably be heard from miles away. Your back arches, because his appendage is touching places you’ve only ever dreamed of. The shockwaves of pleasure that rush through your body are hard to control. The wet noises of his tongue lapping at you so hungrily is too much to take. His teeth nick your clit and your mind is gone. You jerk forcefully as your release rips through your body. Mayuri is more than satisfied, he licks and sucks until your body finally settles back and all he can hear is your little content whimpering.

Mayuri straightens, taking in the satisfied expression you display. Your chest is still rising and falling a bit quicker than usual. It's obvious you’re trying to get it all back to normal rhythm. He lifts a hand pushing his hair out of his face. The action gives you a beautiful sight of the tight muscles of his upper body. It’s only when he reaches for the tie of his bottom robes that you find yourself anticipating it. He frees himself of the garment and you drink in the sight of him. He’s erect, almost painfully so.

You can still feel the slickness between your legs. You’re twitching, desperate for him.

“Do you want this?”

Another question to confirm your consent. Tears prickle at the edge of your eyes because you want him so bad and it feels like he’s almost taunting you at this point.

“Please! P-Please…Please..”

You don’t care if you’re begging, you need this.

That’s apparently all the encouragement he needs, because he rejoins you on the bed, and the second he’s close, you pull him in for a kiss. One that he reciprocates happily. His hands spread your legs slowly, and you wrap them around his hips and he eases himself in. You both release a sound at the action. Mayuri breaks the kiss to gather a breath, and you hold on, ready for him to completely fill you up, make you entirely his.

He hisses at the resistance, and you shut your eyes. He pauses and you whimper again.

“I-I’m sorry..”

You haven’t exactly done this before, so it’s no wonder that he’s having some difficulty.

“It would be foolish to apologize for something like this..your body is exquisite.”

It sounds like he’s scolding you for apologizing for something clearly out of your control. You blush and smile. Mayuri turns, looking at you, a little glare on his face.

“You’re irritatingly irresistible, it’s vexing.” He mumbles.

Your smile grows wider.

Deciding that you might have to be the one to make the next move, you lick your lips and jerk your hips forward.

Mayuri staggers at the action, breath caught in his throat as your hips are now joined. He’s fully inside you, his breath at your ear, uneven.

“Y-You crazy..”

He means to say something else, but the warmth of you encompassing his length is almost too much for him to produce words right now. Maybe you should have taken a gentler approach, but Mayuri has always been the one carrying out tests, this time it felt like your turn.

“Gomen, I was impatient.” 

You mumbled, clearly just as affected by your new connectedness.

Your legs loosen their grip on his hips, and you urge him to move. The feel of his stillness is making you even more impatient.

“P-Please move Mayuri.”

You plead.

He huffs, trying to work up a glare. Instead, it looks more like desperation and lust. He pulls back his hips, right before he slams into you. The action makes you clutch on the muscles of his back as you moan helplessly. He grins, gripping your thighs as repeats the action. With each thrust your body jolts in rhythm and each cry is louder, more explicit than the last. His body keeps pace and you’re nothing but a mess of moans beneath him. He’s hitting a new angle each time. At least that’s what it feels like. Every jerk of his hips rocks you deeper and deeper. It’s almost too much. Too good.

One particular thrust touches just the right spot. Your legs seize involuntarily and you cum with an uncontrolled scream of his name. Your body tightening around him makes him groan, and he keeps moving until his body follows your release. You can feel his seed shooting up into you and another soft moan escapes you.

It takes a moment for you both to gather your breath, and your wits. Mayuri pulls out after a minute or two, laying down right at your side. His juices seem to be leaking out of you, and the thought has your body tingling. You grip at the sheets, a bashful expression covering your face.

When you feel an arm wrap around your waist, your eyes shoot open. Mayuri pulls you to his chest. You can’t help but peak up at him, just to take in his expression. His eyes seem a bit distant.

“K-Kurotsuhci-taicho..”

Your whisper makes his head turn.

“You are a minx.”

He states. Your blush darkens.

“Wearing such expressions, tempting me, you should be punished.”

You yelp when his hand moves down your body. You press your face into his chest. He expects you to shy away, but you grip at his shoulder.

“Please..punish me Mayuri..”

He grins.

“I intend to.”

Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach) - Chapter 4

"(Y/N)-san, are you alright?"

You sent a thumbs up at Nemu.

"Hai!!"

You were grinning despite your tattered robes and the clear bruises are over your body. When Mayuri stepped into the room he gave you one look.

"What is the meaning of this!"

You were still beaming.

"I'm here for my check up, Kurotsuchi-taicho."

There were literal flowers blooming around your body which was a complete contrast to your appearance.

"I can't conduct the proper experiments when you're in such a horrendous state. Come with me."

"Hai!!"

You followed behind him with a pep in your step and Nemu just watched with a small smile.

Maybe your elation is due to your new reassignment. You never thought you'd be this happy, even though you're clearly hurt from a mission that you've just returned from. It is obvious that you should have gone straight to the fourth squad, but you'd reported in here first.

"What a nuisance." Mayuri muttered.

Your eyes lit up when he sat you down and his hands began to glow that familiar emerald light.

"Kurotsuchi-taicho, I didn't know you could do healing kidos."

"Of course, I'm not some low level imbecile. Sit still." He ordered.

You obeyed, still wearing a happy grin.

"I'll assume that you are happy to be back out in the field. It would explain your clear reckless behavior. If you get mangled then all my precious research would be for nothing."

You could understand that.

"Gomen, I'll be more careful."

Your sunshine energy was really starting to become a frequent thing. Mayuri glanced at your face. When he looks at you he's reminded of how defeated you were when these experiments first started. He really shouldn't care if you're happy or not. However, he can't deny that he prefers this look on your face.

Not that he cares.

Of course he doesn't.

It's ridiculous to even suggest that.

"Despite the clear injuries her wounds are healing faster than expected."

Mayuri isn't ignorant to your power, everyday there seems to be something else he learns. Information that he can implement for future reference. Given how many wars they have survived, it always paid off to be careful.

He finished fairly quickly, and the moment you realized you turned to him with a salute.

"Arigatou! So what crazy experiments do you have planned today?"

He was still looking at you a bit inquisitively and you blink. It's rare to see him space out like this.

"Kurotsuchi-taicho?"

He finally lowers his hand, bending over and leaning closer slightly. You flush at the lack of distance.

"W-What's wrong?"

Mayuri squints.

"Are you in any pain?"

You shook your head.

"No, I feel fine. You just healed me didn't you?"

"I did, but before that, were you in pain?"

He finally straightens, folding his arms and you hum.

"I guess not. I got tossed around a few times because I let my guard down, but other than the initial hit it didn't really hurt. Rukia kept insisting that I see Hanataro but I really am fine."

He taps his finger on his arm.

"You are quite the specimen. Your body seems to have adapted quite nicely. By shattering your blade that day, your reiatsu may have reinforced your power. In a lot of ways you should be thanking me." He boasts.

You light up, jumping to your feet as you grab his hands.

"Arigatou Kurotsuchi-taicho!"

This smile is as bright as the first and Mayuri frowns.

"You're very simpleminded aren't you?"

"Compared to you, definitely."

Most people would not readily agree to that clear insult. You release his hand, and he finds his eyes following them.

The warmth that once encompassed his usually cold palms.

It's irritating how those little gestures seem to be intruding his thoughts lately. He has never viewed any of his experiments as more than that. Nemu was quite honestly the only one he had any attachment to.

But Nemu is different.

This is different.

"How infuriating."

His statement confuses you.

"Is something wrong?" you question.

Mayuri just turns.

"Come, we need to continue with the tests."

"Ah, hai, hai!!"

You follow obediently.

He needs to be careful.

He's afraid he might end up acting on these impulses.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach) - Chapter 6

The headache that came with a hangover was brutal. Jushiro had merely laughed when you came into the squad looking like a zombie. He offered you a cup of tea and advised that you take the remainder of the day off to recuperate. You couldn’t exactly fight when your coordination was still realigning with the rest of your body.

“I’m never going out with Rangiku again.”

That was obvious.

You went through the majority of the day fairly easily after that. Yet, you kept feeling like you were forgetting something.

It’s only when you decide to visit Hanataro that it dawns on you.

“Crap!!”

You definitely had an appointment with Mayuri today.

Flash stepping, you intended to do just that. But the second you made it to his lab, you could feel the residual haze begin to clear.

“Was I..here last night?”

You hadn’t remembered much.

“Now that I think about it, how did I get back to my squad?”

You couldn’t have gotten there on your own. Not in your state at least. Alcohol makes you completely useless. Stepping inside, you look around. The second your eyes land on Mayuri you smile, your intention is to walk over, but your body pauses at the memory that flashes right before you.

“If I fulfill your request, will you return to your squad without protests.”

“H-Hai!”

You were frozen in place at the explicit images and Mayuri finally caught you standing there.

“Why are you just standing around?”

He isn't acting weird.

You walk over stiffly.

“Hai!”

For the next twenty minutes you run through the routine checks. You’ve realized that you are apparently the only one frazzled. Because Mayuri’s behavior hasn’t changed. If anything, he looks more focused than usual.

“Why do you test me?”

Those words, you couldn’t have imagined them. Nor the affection behind his kisses.

The silence of the room provides the courage you so desperately need. Because clearly Mayuri has no intention of addressing what happened.

“I remember everything.”

You feel like your heart has increased significantly. You’re thankfully that it’s just the both of you, because if not, you would completely lack any confidence to confront him.

“I prefer that you keep your childish activities to a minimum.”

Of course he’s irritated. You basically assaulted him.

“Gomen.”

You bow.

Mayuri just frowns. He expects this.

That when you come to your senses it would change nothing.

You straighten.

“If that is all you can leave.”

He has no time to dwell on such mundane things.

“I need to focus on my work.”

Even if it is just a distraction right now.

“I’m not leaving.”

Your words confuse him.

“I’ll admit that I was in the wrong, but you kissed me back.”

“You were acting like a spoiled brat, I had no choice.”

You smile.

“I think we both know that’s a lie.”

He clicks his tongue.

“You care about me Kurotsuchi-taicho. I felt it when you kissed me.”

“That’s impossible, such feelings cannot be felt through a kiss.”

It’s humorous that he’s not denying that he has feelings for you. He just doesn’t think you can tell with just a kiss.

You move closer, and with each step, his eyes stay focused on you. You stop when you’re directly in front of him.

“I like you, Kurotsuchi-taicho.”

Now he can’t use the excuse of you being under the influence. He looks away.

“Do not get ahead of yourself.”

You smile. It’s clear that he’s the reluctant type. But that’s okay.

You’re more than patient.

[animeloverskylarmoon]

Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach) - Chapter 7

“Is that….”

“IT’S HER!!”

Your body flipping over the hollow had the reapers below staring in awe. You landed easily, sheathing your sword with a smirk. When you turned, its body was already fading in the air. You straightened and they all began clapping.

You sent them a thumbs up and the three males were gushing. Renji rolled his eyes.

“I had them.” He grumbled. You just giggled.

“It’s okay to ask for help sometimes, lieutenant.”

He growled under his breath as all of you began heading back to the squad barracks.

Renji had the displeasure of listening to the three males that follow him gush about your skills.

“She’s so strong and beautiful.” One stated.

“Forget it, you wouldn’t stand a chance.” The other said.

“How do you know, I might be her type.” He countered.

“Believe me, none of you are her type.” Renji interrupted. 

They all turned.

“Then what’s her type?”

Renji didn’t have to say much. Ahead they could make out a few other reapers. Your face lit up for a particular one.

“Kurotsuchi-taicho!”

You basically leapt to his side and their faces turned pale.

“SERIOUSLY!!!”

Safe to say they had given up on that dream.

After a very easy mission, you’re back at the lab with Mayuri.

“I think I’ve gotten faster at flash step. For a moment it felt like the hollow was suspended. "

He nods, marking it all down.

“Quite impressive indeed.”

You smile at the praise.

Seated here, it feels like any other day. The computers are filled with notes and information that you barely understand. His desk is covered in papers, not that you’re surprised. Nemu has been coming in and out all day.

But..right now it’s just the two of you.

“What else?”

You don’t register the question, not until he’s directly in front of you.

“Are you experiencing another advance in your power?”

You blush, shaking your head.

“N-No, gomen."

“Hmm, very well.”

He moves to get back to his sheets laid out, but you grab the back of his coat. Mayuri halts.

“What is it?”

You swallow.

“I want to know what it’s like..to kiss you.”

The first one didn’t truly count, because although you remember the feeling, you want the pleasure of feeling it all while you aren’t intoxicated.

“Have you already forgotten?”

You shake your head cutely.

“T-That one didn’t count.” You reason.

“It does, so does this one.”

You barely get a word out, because in a matter of seconds he has you in his arms. Your eyes widen when he presses his lips to yours. A little sound escapes and you shut your eyes, body trembling.

The familiarity, this scent, it’s having a very strong reaction.

His hold is firm, you can feel everything. Everything about him. Legs shaking, you do your best to keep them steady when he deepens the kiss. His tongue is exploring your mouth and you whimper. Your chest feels warm. If you were expecting anything, it wasn’t this. Especially from him. Mayuri is very blunt with his words, but it appears his actions might be more honest.

Mayuri pulls back, and you let out a soft breath, trying to get your heart to calm down. Your head is still spinning from the heated kiss.

“Are you satisfied..”

It sounds like a tease. You nimble on your bottom lip, shaking your head. The last thing you should be doing is trying to get it on in the lab. Nemu could walk in at any moment.

He separates, taking your hand.

“Come with me.”

You nod, still very much dazed from the kiss. He’s definitely got a few places for you to both hide and make out.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi (Bleach) - Chapter 3

These meetings always make you anxious. The second you stepped through those doors your chest felt heavy.

The captains were all lined up and Jushiro sent a sympathetic smile. You're technically still a member of his squad, but you practically live at the twelfth division now.

"Kurotsuchi, present your findings."

The head captain's tone never truly held much emotion unless he was scolding. It still made you weary. You're at the center, just waiting.

"Very well."

He stepped over to you.

You're not sure what's about to happen because he hasn't exactly been very forthcoming with his research.

"She possesses power that most of you cannot comprehend." Those clearly aren't the words they want to hear. A few of them shift, and Toshiro's eyes are focused on you. This wasn't exactly helping your case.

"You all fear her because you don't understand her power, it's actually quite pathetic. She is not a threat to us. Let me demonstrate."

You aren't really sure what exactly he intends to demonstrate. When he reaches for your blade you flinch. He pulls it right out of the sheath.

"W-Wait what are you doing!"

He lifts his own blade that glows. You gape when he raises your blade and brings his own down. It strikes your zanpakuto and you're shocked when the metal shatters into pieces. Your eyes shake and the entire room looks stunned.

Mayuri drops your broken sword, disinterested.

You drop to your knees, staring at the shattered weapon.

Jushiro is enraged.

"What is the meaning of this!!"

He looks ready to fight, but Shunsui grabs his arm, shaking his head.

Mayuri sheaths his zanpaktou.

"Is this not what you all wanted? For me to get rid of the threat." His words sound like a jab, and Toshiro looks a bit guilty.

"You view her as an enemy, why should it matter if she no longer has a weapon? Would that not give us the advantage? You fear her. Her power makes you uneasy."

You're still trying to process that it's gone.

You still recall when you got it.

"No way (Y/N)-chan, you have a zanpaktou!!"

The voice of your friend catches you by surprise. Growing up in Rukongai was rough. That's why when you all finally made it to the academy, it felt like a dream.

That morning you had woken to shouting.

You turned your head, and sure enough there was a blade right at the side of your futon.

"W-What! That's impossible! It can't be mine."

A few of the others were staring in awe. No one had truly gotten their weapons yet. You were all in the first phases of the training. According to the captains, attaining a blade usually took months.

You stare at the weapon, hands hesitant.

"Are you..really mine?"

You aren't sure what you're asking, it's not like it can hear you.

"Akaya. That's my name."

Your eyes widen.

"Did you hear that!!"

Your friend shakes her head.

"Hear what?"

You can't believe this. You must be hallucinating.

Unless...

"Akaya."

You say aloud.

It glows and gasps echo throughout the room. You don't know why, but it's almost like it's calling you. Reaching out, you pick it up and the familiarity of it is amazing. You feel connected.

"I'll treasure you, Akaya."

You finally understand what they meant when they spoke about the bond between a reaper and it's zanpaktou.

"I'm in your care."

Sitting there, it feels like you've broken that promise.

The somber looks are shared throughout the room.

"Akaya.." You whisper.

The light that elects from those pieces catches you off guard. Mayuri just smirks.

The entire room lights up and the gush of wind has your hair flying around wildly. A few of them cover their faces. When the light finally dissipates, your zanpaktou is airborne, hovering right in front of you.

Good as new.

On instinct you hold out your hands and it drops right into your grasp.

They just stare, astonished and you grip it.

"Akaya..y-you're okay.."

The second it was broken you should have been more worried about your title of a reaper, but the thought of being here without your blade was much more painful.

"I have adjusted the properties of my blade to reconstruct in the event that it is ever destroyed, but (L/N) has the ability to do it at will."

You look up at him.

"She's not dangerous. That day her zanpaktou was merely protecting her. Like all of us, our blades are part of us. She has just reached a higher feat. One that I intend to implement into my studies."

He's wearing that creepy grin whenever he finds something he'll like to tear apart, but you can't be happier. You're about to express your gratitude, but your head lolls forward.

Mayuri pauses, curious. When you lift your head, your gait changes. Your eyes are glowing.

"I appreciate you trying to prove your point reaper, but the next time you cause harm to my master, emotional or physical, I will not take it lightly."

Yamamoto stands, bringing his staff down.

"You are Akaya."

He questions. Your head nods.

"My alliance is to my master, no one else. Tread lightly."

That is surely a threat.

The spark in your eyes disappears and you blink.

The stares directed at you have you a bit uncomfortable.

"A-Ano..is something wrong?"

Jushiro just smiles.

"Welcome back, (Y/N)-san."

Your face lights up and you're beaming, because Yamamato just takes a seat.

"You'll be approved to return to your previous position. That is all."

Nothing else is said. With a thankful smile, you turn to Mayuri, bowing.

"ARIGATOU!!"

Turns out all you really needed in your life was this crazy scientist.
