Some say it was Mayuri Kurotsuchi's fault. They said that if he hadn't been trying to alter Ashisogi Jizô's poisen, they would never have gotten together. Other people said 'bollocks!' There was that much sexual tension between them, it would have happened eventually. Five years since the accident and it was still a favourite topic for the women association.

(Five years ago, Soul Society)

"Come on old Man! Is that all you've got?" Ichigo smirked, throwing another blow at Kenpachi, who was grinning like a maniac.

Since that morning, Ichigo had been sparring with Kenpachi Zaraki, the demon of Squad Eleven. His thirst for battle was as great as the need for air, and as big as his reitsu. Ever since Ichigo had defeated the pointy haired Captain when rescuing Rukia, he had been obsessed with fighting the strawberry. Not that Ichigo complained. Against Kenpachi, he could go all out, so these sparring session's were a regular occurrence.

This spar had started out in Squad Eleven's training ground, but had quickly moved outwards. Despite trying to keep collateral damage to a minimal, many walls and small buildings had been destroyed. The pair were quickly making their way towards the Twelfth Squad training grounds. Of course, neither knew that, too lost in the thrill of the battle.

Kenpachi took another swing with his nameless Zanpakuto, and managed to graze Ichigo's side. As Ichigo jumped to evade the brunt of the attack, he counter attacked, but he only managed to cut the Captain's sleeve. Said Captain grinned widely. He used a full strength attack and destroyed the wall leading to the training grounds. The strawberry shun-poed through the newly formed hole, hoping the big space would minimise damage to other innocent buildings.

"You idiotic fighting imbeciles! Get out my training grounds!"

The two 'fighting imbeciles' stopped their sparring and turned to see a very pissed off looking Mayuri Kurotsuchi. He was waving his arms about and shouting. Mostly at Nemu, for not stopping their entrance. Sometimes Ichigo felt sorry for the girl. Just as he was about to voice his objection to Nemu's treatment, purple gas suddenly enveloped both him and Kenpachi. When Ichigo realised that it was Ashisogi Jizô's poison, it was too late. Both he and Kenpachi had inhaled at least several breathes of the toxic gas.

Of course, Kenpachi being who he is, didn't ask for the antidote diplomatically, but shoved Kurotsuchi against the wall and demanded it. "Give us the antidote now, or I'll rip your head off!" Ichigo was surprised. He'd never heard the Captain raise his voice like that! As the strawberry moved to stop Kurotsuchi's suffocation, said crazy scientist started laughing manically.

"You fools! There is no antidote!" Seeing the confused look that both shinigami gave him, he continued. "Fine! I shall explain simply, so that even you idiots can understand. I have been experimenting with changing the poison that Ashisogi Jizô gives of, for interigation purposes and because I was bored. Of course, because of how big Ashisogi Jizô is, I had to do so outside. You buffoons are lucky. I had just made the alteration when you barged in. But you are also unlucky, for I have no idea what the affect is. But I know you won't die." Then he whispered "Unfortunately."

With that, Mayuri jerked out of Kenpachi's grip and stormed off. Furious that he had been interrupted by 'battling buffoons'. The strawberry and fighting demon looked at each other and shrugged. As long as they didn't die, they were A-OK. They called the spar a draw and separated. Ichigo went to Renji's (where he was staying) and Kenpachi went back to his room in the Squad Eleven barracks.

(Next Day, Captains Meeting)

The Captains stood in their official places, with Ichigo standing next to Mayuri. Normally he stood next to Ukitake, because the 12th Captain creped him out, but today, he had the strong urge to be in a position to look at Kenpachi. He didn't know how to explain it. Since he had woken that morning, this desire to see the 11th Captain had grown in him. In fact, Kenpachi had felt the same way. He desperately wanted to see the Strawberry shinigami, so he was glad that he standing in eye range.

Through out the meeting, the two had been stealing glances at each other. Always looking away when other people noticed. The close proximity to each other was causing them to heat up. Every time one of them moved, the other would twitch. When the meeting finally ended (boy did Yamamoto go on) they started to walk out together. Very closely. Because of a notch on the floor, Ichigo stumbled, bumping into Kenpachi.

The affect was instantaneous. Kenpachi grabbed Ichigo, shoved him against the nearest wall and devoured his mouth. Funnily enough, the Strawberry did not protest, but eagerly opened his mouth, deepening the kiss. Ichigo moaned as Kenpachi's tongue battled against his own. His entire body was unbearably warm, the need to rub against Kenpachi great. He wrapped his arms around the taller man's neck, trying to get more contact with him. Kenpchi sensed this, and moved his hands down to Ichigo's arse and squeezed both cheeks, causing the Strawberry to groan.

The rest of the Captains stared, very wide eyed. They couldn't believe it. Kenpachi, who favoured battle more than any other kind of physical contact, was shamelessly making out with the substitute shinigami. Grand Captain Yamamoto was appalled. He stood from his chair in anger.

"Separate them!" When no-one moved, "NOW!"

Immediately, Soi Fon and Byakuya grabbed Kenpachi and Kyoraku grabbed Ichigo, who had tried to get to Kenpchi. Yamamoto looked at them both. They were like wild animals, both trying to break from the people who held them. He talked to Ichigo, who seemed to be getting weaker, "Kurosaki! What is the meaning of this?!" All Ichigo did was growl. A very violent growl. And he eyed Soi Fon and Byakuya with a look that could have killed. "My mate! MINE!"

It looked like neither were going to give a proper answer. So Yamamoto raised his reitsu, directing it at only Ichigo and Kenpachi. He kept it high until they both fainted from the pressure.

"Get them to Squad Four! Captain Unohana, find out what is wrong with them."

All she did was nod before shun-poing to her Squad, along with Kyoraku with Ichigo, and Soi Fon and Byakuya with Kenpachi.


I know there wasn't a lot of lemon, but the next Chapter will have it. I hope you like it so far Koitoy! 'The Truth In Eyes' is still going, I've just got a writers block with it. Please continue to support me! (bow)
