Furofushi Saito

[A/N: Thank you for 1 Million Reads, it means a lot. This is the 3rd Story on my account that hit this milestone. 

First of all, I apologize if things get "Meh". This was written right when my shit schedule began. Soon, I'll try to get to a proper Flashback to the Quincy Invasion and whatnot. 

Patreon is ahead by 10 chapters, go and read them if interested.

Also, my bad. I accidentally published the chapter that was after this one, that's on me.]

(Genryujin's POV)

"You think this is wise?" Retsu asked, "All three of us here...." 

I looked at her, "Why not?" I asked, "It's good that she sees you lot." 

Retsu looked at Soi Fon who was standing behind us, "I mean her." She said, "You know how Saito can get." 

I nodded, "Right." I said

"Quiet." I heard Gramps said, "They're bringing her out." 

We were in front of the gate to the Squad 1 Underground Prison, Gramps was personally going to greet Saito when they bring her out. 

Katori, Retsu, Soi Fon, and I were here, waiting for her so I can take her home. She's to be walking freely for 10 years before they attempt to lock her in again. 200 years ago, she threw a fit and nearly slaughtered a good portion of Gramps's men. 

Despite that, I'm going to try and get her sentence lifted. I think my poor Saito has suffered enough.

The gate slowly opened as several armored shinigami walked out, holding long poles that were attached to the bindings on a pink-haired woman's arms and legs. She was wearing a mask and I could see her serious but sad eye, her eyepatch was still in place. 

I sighed, "Good, they don't have bindings on her neck this time...." I said as I stepped forward

As I did so, Gramps cleared his throat, "Former 6th Division Captain, Furofushi Saito." He said as they approached us, "I, Captain-Commander Yamamoto, welcome you back to the Seretei." 

Saito was wearing a simple white kimono and her hands and legs were bound with heavy metal locks. She gave me a serious look, completely ignoring Gramps and what he said. 

I looked at the guards, "Release her." I said

They shifted nervously, "W-We need the Captain-Commander to do it himself..." One of them said, "Last time....it didn't end well...." 

"Fuck's sake..." I said as I looked at Gramps, "Give me the keys, I'll do it." 

"Do as you wish." Gramps said as he handed me two different keys, "You lot, step away from her." 

I walked over to Saito as she stood there calmly, "Hey..." I said softly as I crouched down and undid her bindings on her legs, "How have you been?" 

I then straightened up and undid the ones on her hands, watching as she rubbed her wrists. She didn't say anything, merely looked at me with a serious look. 

"Say something." I said as I undid the binding on her mask, "You're worrying me." 

I took her mask off, revealing her pale and beautiful face. It was odd, not seeing her trademark smirk. She was serious, giving me a frown. 

"You bastard...." She said with a dry throat, "You married another one?" 

I looked back at Soi Fon who merely looked away. 

"This is my queue to leave." Gramps said as he turned around, "I wish you good fortune, Grandson." 

I looked back at Saito, "Listen..." I said, "You know-" 

I was cut off by her punching me in the stomach, buckling me straight onto my knees. 

"You betrayed me!!" She exclaimed, "You told me I was to be your third!!! How dare you, Genryujin!!" 

"S-Stand down!" the guards yelled

"It's okay." I heard Retsu say, "Do not fear, you can leave us be." 

"Oww...." I said as I rubbed my stomach

"Saito-san!" Katori exclaimed as she walked over to me, "Calm down, we can explain." 

"Katori, you know the promise he made me!" She exclaimed with her voice shaking, "H-How.....can he do this....after everything I went through...." 

I looked up at her, her eye was filled with tears and her lips curled. She was trying not to cry. 

"Saito..." I said as I stood up and looked at her, "I'm sorry....." 

"200 years.....Gen.....I've sat in that chair...." She said softly, "And you couldn't wait for me.....?" 

I placed my hands on her shoulder, "Saito....." I said as I pulled her in for an embrace, "I'm sorry, a lot can happen in 200 years....." 

"I've missed you terribly, Gen....." She sobbed into my chest, "Why do you do this always?" 

I placed my hand on her head, gently stroking her hair, "I visited you many times per year, Saito." I said, "Don't pretend that I forgot about you. This time, my beautiful psycho.....this time it's for real....." 

"W-What?" She said as she looked at me

I smiled, "I'm keeping you out..." I said, "I mean it." 

"Don't make promises you can't keep." She told me

I put my hand on her chin, "These past 200 years must've softened you up, dear." I said with a smirk, "Where's the spunk you always have?" 

She frowned, "I....a lot happened in there...." She said softly

I reached for her hand and held hit, "Come, lets go home." I said, "Meet my third wife, Soi Fon...." 

I pulled her alongside as I walked over to Soi Fon and Retsu, Katori followed along. 

Soi Fon bowed slightly, "I'm honored to be in the presence of a Founding Gotei Captain." She said, "I am the Captain of the 2nd Division, Soi Fon." 

"2nd Division? That's Chika's squad...You're not a Shihoin...." Saito said, "What happened to his successor?" 

Soi Fon frowned, "She...uhm..." She said

"Long story." I said, "I'll tell you all about it over dinner, eh? Let's go." 

She nodded, "Okay..." She said

Retsu smiled, "Glad to have you back, Saito-san." 

"That's right~" Katori said

Saito bowed slightly, "T-Thank you for having me again..." She said shakily, 

"I apologize for my past behavior..."
