Again with you
Chapter 3: Unexpected visitor
Ichigo and Rukia kept leaning against each other. Anybody who dared to look at them would had thought they were a couple.
"They left." She said suddenly.
"Who?"
"The squad sent to kill you."
"Not at all… you're still here…" And I hope you stay forever… Said Ichigo. "Where did they go?"
"Soul Society probably. My betrayal could might have changed the situation of soul society and also because the problem you got powers and know the truth might have also made this 'mission' harder."
"They probably didn't knew what to do since what I did wasn't expected to happen. We normally don't take decision with a high importance by ourselves so they went so soul society to ask for orders and discuss the situation or they noticed that now you overpower them so they're going to train."
"That means you can't go anymore to soul society?" Asked Ichigo, regret showing on his face for what he had done to her life.
"Yes" She said no comments about his regretful face.
"Rukia I'm so sor-"
"Ichigo shut up, stupid sentimental strawberry. You think I didn't expect this to happen? If I had the chance to live that day again, I would do exactly the same I did. And you know what? I haven't been happier since that day." She said completely mad.
She was smiling happily at him, when he moved his arm, and snaked it around her should and pulled her into an embrace. But for his bad luck, something happened to Rukia as she screamed and her happy face turned into one of pain.
She dropped to her knees, and screamed in agony.
Isshin heard Rukia's screams, and flash stepped as fast as he could. Once he was next to both, he kneeled next to Rukia and examined her, making Ichigo go tense, full of rage as he could do nothing more than to wait for it to go away.
"Ichigo, something is wrong, her reiatsu is raising and dropping fast, if it keeps changing constantly her strength will drop fast, and she won't last more than three hours. Even if she were to control her reiatsu, she would go into a coma because she is seriously intoxicated and she is suffering for it." As Ichigo heard the word 'intoxicated' he went into shock. How did she get intoxicated? Ichigo Wondered. He was still trying to think of way to help Rukia.
"Ru – Rukia?" His voice only made her scream louder. Tears fell down from a brown eyes, deep feelings showing on his eyes.
Isshin saw this, and didn't knew what to say for the first time in his whole career as a doctor. Her signals didn't show any kind of intoxications for some she ate, or drank.
"What have you done to my sister, kurosaki?" Kuchiki Byakuya arrived at the worst moment, standing a few feet away from them. He unsheathed his sword and was ready to kill with just one wrong answer.
"Wait, let me-" Wrong answer, thought Byakuya and charged. Isshin was faster and blocked his attack.
"Ichigo, take Rukia somewhere safe, she might be affected and weakened by our reiatsu if we fight here and raise it. I can handle Byakuya." He said while he charged to Byakuya.
"But-"
"DO IT NOW! IM NOT ASKING YOU!"
Ichigo picked Rukia, and ran to the waterfall, he got into the cave behind the waterfall with Rukia.
Rukia had stopped screaming when Ichigo lifted her, but she was panting heavily, and slowly going unconscious.
"Rukia! You have to fight! Rukia!" he said again and again.
…..
"Shire, Sembonsakura." The sword divided in millions of blade petals. Each petal moved in Isshin's direction and attacked.
"Too slow, Kuchiki." Said a cocky Isshin. He shunpoed away and made a cut all across Byakuya's back and on his right arm. Blood was running down his back and arm. "What are you here for, Kuchiki captain?"
"I want to know what is wrong with Rukia and see if Kurosaki Ichigo is able to protect my little sister."
"Wait here. You make a move, and I'll return you in pieces to soul society."
Isshin called Ichigo but he said he wouldn't leave Rukia alone.
"Bring her here then, I'll take care of her!" Isshin shouted back. One second later Ichigo was next to Isshin, Rukia in his arms.
He handed Rukia to Isshin and then faces Byakuya who was waiting.
"What do you want Byakuya?"
"You have no respect. Fight with me or I'll take Rukia back to soul society." He said and then dropped his zanpakuto to the ground "Bankai."
Many swords appeared, not too late Byakuya commanded "Shire, Sembonsakura Kageyoshi."
"BAN-KAI!" Shouted Ichigo, releasing Zangetsu to its maximum power. "Tensa Zangetsu." He used the same technique that he used on Rukia's execution. He shunpoed around Byakuya and then striked, but somehow his bad luck showed now because Byakuya had already covered that blind spot to his defense. The petal were all around him, leaving no way to go in.
Ichigo got distracted by a scream from the petite girl, and got hit by Byakuya's Kidou. "Bakudo 61, six lights rod prison."
Ichigo was hit in his weak spot. Kidou.
Byakuya was about to give the final blow when Ichigo used the hollow mask and broke the binding spell.
"GETSUGA TENSHOU!"
The massive black reiatsu wave hit Byakuya's petals and didn't stop. It pushed the petals and got a frontal hit on Byakuya, after the wave passed and exploded, he was seriously injured.
"Oi, how longer will you stand there?" asked Ichigo behind Byakuya.
Byakuya's eyes widened when he noticed the change of speed. He sheathed his Zanpakuto and turned to face Ichigo.
"I see that you're able to protect Rukia better than I can. If something were to happen to her, hide forever because if I find you, I'll take your heart, I'll cut it into pieces, and give every piece of it to the hollows."
"Tha – Thanks… I think…"
Byakuya nodded, and opened a senkai gate and finally left to soul society.
Rukia was still panting but almost faded to nothing.
"Rukia, I'm here." Said Ichigo, trying to understand what was causing her this much of pain.
He touched Rukia's face and noticed how cold it was.
"Jeesh Rukia you're freezing!" She started screaming again, her reiatsu changing again.
Isshin touched her hand, and pulled it back quickly. "Check her Zanpakuto." he said.
Ichigo took her zanpakuto and unsheathed it. The second he fully withdrew it, he dropped it because of the brutal change of temperature. The zanpakuto released itself to shikai, and showed black marks all along the blade, a complete different appearance that in the usual white blade.
"Rukia!" he screamed, panic rushing through his veins.
"A hollow poisoned her and Sode no Shirayuki." Said Isshin while he examined her, after he finished he closed his eyes and sadness showed on his face. "She's going to die."
"NO! RUKIA, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT!" Screamed Ichigo.
"Ichigo calm down. She's fighting, but she almost has no reiatsu left."
"Then I'll lend her mines!" He picked Rukia carefully and positioned his zanpakuto above her heart. He pushed with all his strength, and transferred a big amount of his reiatsu.
….
In Rukia's inner world she was fighting the hollow she'd fought some days earlier with Renji. She was severely injured, panting heavily. The hollow attacked once more and Rukia couldn't contain the scream. She didn't know that when she screamed there, she also screamed outside.
She felt defeated and weak. She had no strength left and the only thing she wanted was to lie there and rest in peace or at least stop the pain that covered her body. She didn't feel the air, if it was cold or hot. She didn't hear a thing, she couldn't move or smell. She didn't feel the snow under her fingers, the only thing in her mind was the pain that came from everywhere.
Suddenly someone appeared, she looked like a normal human carrying a zanpakuto and dressed with shinigami clothes. Her eyes, black and gold.
Rukia thought she was dead, but the pain didn't go away. Her zanpakuto was poisoned, the poison just about to kill her and a stranger ready to give the final blow.
Suddenly Rukia felt power rushing through her once more, she felt strong and felt as light as a feather.
With one swift movement, she was on her feet, her hand clenched into fists ready to hit. Her eyes focused on the stranger.
"Calm down queen, I'm not here to fight you… for now."
""HAGOD NO SAN JOU SAN, SOUKATSUI!" Rukia attacked the hollow and finished all of her pain. She went running to Sode no Shirayuki who had many black marks all over her skin. Rukia used Kidoh on all of her marks, healing her zanpakuto.
"Thank you Rukia-sama." Said the white dressed woman.
"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" Rukia was completely annoyed and Shirayuki couldn't help but smile at the sweetness of her owner.
'I couldn't have had any better owner than Kuchiki Rukia' Thought the Zanpakuto.
Somebody clapped and Rukia turned to glare at the newcomer.
"Beautiful. You're very skilled at Kidoh, queen. But are you as skilled in Sword? I don't think so. I will help you queen, so you don't end up your fights with that level of injuries and… ragged clothes." Rukia looked at herself and found her body barely covered by anything. Her bra was exposed and her panties almost fully covered. The hollow stepped in front and offered a mask to Rukia. It covered the right cheek of her face and had a violet semi full moon on it. "Take it as my gift for living now here."
Rukia looked at Sode no Shirayuki who nodded. She took the mask saying nothing, leaving her inner world.
She opened her eyes slowly and found herself in a bed at the Kurosaki's house.
'How long have I been out?' She wondered as she tried find any sign to show how long she was in her inner world.
"Let's say since you received my mask, at least a pair of weeks…"
'TWO FRICKING WEEKS?' Rukia snapped back, completely shocked.
"By the way. I'm Koria."
She moved to the side and saw a night stand with some fresh violet flowers and a closet door. She was in Ichigo's bed. Suddenly her face turned red and she felt embarrassed. She tried to move but everything hurt. She lifted the covers and saw herself covered in many bandages. The thin fabric didn't seem really protective. 'So my wounds got on my physical body eh?' Rukia moved to the other side and left her back to face the door. She felt somebody going upstairs, and walk slowly to her room. She heard a hand being placed on the handle of the door, and seeming scared of opening the door. She covered herself quickly, but not enough so she only got to cover from her waist and down. For her luck the bandages covered all of breast. Apparently it was the only part from her waist to her shoulders that was covered in bandages. Her arms were bare and her wrists had bandages on them. Two of her fingers from the right hand had bandages.
Ichigo moved the handle and finally opened the door.
He saw her in that state. Almost naked in front of him. He got red and couldn't help but to stare. He checked every curve she showed, every curve that he could roam his eyes on.
'THAT'S IT KING! NOW KISS HER AND THEN FUCK HER HARD!"
'Shut up Hichigo!'
Ichigo soon noticed he was still staring at her, and with effort he managed to look at her eyes. Rukia didn't seem to mind Ichigo staring at her body… she liked that…
"I'm so sorry Ichigo…" Rukia didn't have enough strength yet to move so she stayed still on her position.
"For what?" He asked. His eyes now trapped on the depth of her eyes.
"I passed out when I needed to be there to fight by your side. I…"
"You got poisoned. It's Renji's fault. He didn't protect you."
"I was careless…"
"Stop it. If you were careless you would be dead now." He involuntary took some steps and sat down on the bed next to her. He ran his hand from her shoulder to her hand, then going back and again back down to her hand.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing Ichigo?" She didn't sound angry. She was enjoying it, Ichigo's caress sent chills down her spine.
"No – nothing…" He looked at the ceiling to evade looking at her. He was embarrassed. She moved her hand to his face, and made him to face her once more. She leaned onto Ichigo and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you for lending me your reiatsu." (A/N: Did you really think I would rush their first kiss to the third chapter once more? Oh no! I will take my time to work my way there so I'll make all of you suffer mwahahhaha :D)
"ICHIGO, BREAKFAST IS READY!" Rukia moved her covers and stepped out of the bed. Ichigo was still shocked and didn't move. Rukia took her time, and searched her school clothes. She got dressed and went downstair while Ichigo looked at the empty wall where once was Rukia's face. When he noticed he was alone, he touched his cheek and smiled. Soon he scowled and disguised his happiness. He went downstairs and found Rukia already leaving.
'I'll catch up later.' Thought Ichigo… at least until she fell. Ichigo ran to Rukia and helped her to her feet.
"You know midget. I'll just carry you. He said, going back grabbing his backpack and lifting Rukia onto his arms, bride style and carrying her on the snow.
"Let me down you overgrown beast!"
"Shut up Rukia."
"NOW!"
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP."
"ICHIGO YOU HAVEN'T ATE BREAKFAST YET!"
"I DON'T FUCKING CARE RUKIA. YOU CAN'T WALK. I'LL CARRY YOU AND BUY SOMETHING TO EAT AT SCHOOL. THAT'S IT I WON'T DISCUSS THIS ANY MORE."
Rukia buried her face on this chest and let his scent go into her nose. 'He smells good.'She thought smiling.
Ichigo could smell her scent and enjoyed every second of it. He could feel Rukia smiling against his chest. After all, he knew she cared for him as much as he did for her.
School was horribly long for both of them. They longed to be next to each other, to be near each other again and smell their delicious scent.
As they walked home, Rukia noticed that her strength was back.
"Hey Ichigo. You need to train and so do I. I'm at full strength now, why don't we go to the valley and train for a while?"
"Sure." Answered Ichigo. Ichigo texted Isshin and told him that he would skip school with Rukia to train.
'Queen can I kill the scowling orange haired guy?' Came the question from inside.
'FUCK, NO!'
'Why noooottt?' Whined the hollow like a little child.
'Because I… because he is a friend of mine. Let's make a deal. I'll let you kill, non important shinigami and hollows and you don't kill my friends and let me fight the shinigami I choose.'
'Agreed' Said Koria.
Rukia's legs were covered in bandages. She took a pair of really short shorts and wore them before releasing all of her bandages. She folded her skirt and placed it in her bag. She was on a short that left almost all her thigh to see. She wore her school blouse, and the lace was soon discarded and placed in the bag with the skirt.
She made Sode no Shirayuki appear, and drew the Zanpakuto slowly. She felt powerful so she held the sword with one hand pointing it at Ichigo while moving her head to the left to see Ichigo. Her legs ready to move at the sight of danger.
Ichigo ripped his shirt away, and held Zangetsu with one hand, pointing it at Rukia and going into the same position, his face going right to see her. Both of their bodies facing the lake and waterfall.
"1…" Counted Rukia, exhaling all of her breath.
"2…" Counted Ichigo, adrenaline rushing through his veins.
"3…" Both shinigami disappeared and a loud BANG of swords clashing sounded all over the place.
Ichigo was distracted, if not to say drooling with Rukia's bare legs. Well, Rukia was at least controlling herself, even if it was hard with Ichigo's muscular bare chest.
Ichigo was having problems with keeping up with Rukia's speed since he was used to being at top speed and strength while fighting. "BAN – KAI!"
"Mae, Sode no Shirayuki."
Ichigo grunted at the change of temperature when her zanpakuto was released.
"Tsugi no mai, HAKUREN!" Ichigo evaded the attack effortless.
"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" Ichigo fired the black wave of reiatsu at Rukia. For his luck, Rukia was fast enough to shunpo away. Ichigo sped away with her, and took her by surprise with a vertical slash from her right. If it weren't for his bad aim that she didn't get hurt.
This was her opportunity. They were both in the air so she dropped her zanpakuto from her hand and as soon as her hand was bare; she pointed it at Ichigo's face and shouted "HADO NO SAN JOU SAN SOUKATSUI!" There was no way to fail at that distance. The fire crashed and sent Ichigo flying onto the lake.
"Bakudo n°1 SAI!"
Ichigo lost several second to get away from the binding spell and out of the water. When he managed to get again into the air, he couldn't find Rukia anywhere.
"Fourth dance, Ice mist." (A/N: I'm too lazy to write it in Japanese right now, I barely have time to write which pisses me off often so I'm trying to end the 5 chapter I've been writing on my Math book hehe, so that means I will update 4 more chapters as soon as I have time. Right now I should be studying science but I'm bored of it.)
'LOOK QUEEN GOT A NEW MOVE!'
'Shut up Hichigo'
'Let me fight! YOU SUCK!'
'Try to fight her. Let's see how long you last.'
Ichigo changed places with his hollow. The mask formed one Ichigo's face and his brown eyes where hided by the black and gold ones.
"What the fuck…?" Said Rukia as she felt the change of reiatsu.
Rukia stopped her game and went on full power to get the hollow out of the control. "BAKUDO NUMBER 66, SIX LIGHTS ROD PRISON! BAKUDO N 3 SAI. HADO N 63 SOUREN SOUKATSU! HADO NO SAN JOU SAN, SOUKATSUI!" Rukia fired each spell like it was a child's game. She had mastered the Kido but didn't have strength to use it.
"Tch she has an amazing strength. Rukia and her fucking spells." Complained Hichigo while he tried to get out of the blinding spells.
'Didn't I tell you?' Said a mocking Ichigo from inside.
Finally the massive blue fire crushed on Hichigo and sent him flying all over the place.
To be continued…
Sorry the chapter was longer, but I don't know when I'll be able to write again. Also my book had many lucky shots with the first 50 pages I showed to the publisher so they told me to end it and they would see if it was a good potential to be a good book. Wish me luck guys. I'll be writing as soon as I can. I really loved your reviews and it seems that I've got more people reading this story more than my first ichiruki story. I read that one again and I really thought it sucked. I like this one, and already plotted I till the end so, I wont drop this one. I might take long to update. But I'll do my best. I hope I'll update in a pair of weeks and if I'm lucky, in one week. This week I have 4 exams, and next ill have 5 so Im not sure what I'll be able to do. Next chapter will have the second part of this one, and the fourth chapter so it will be long. I hope this one wasn't really short :S.
Love 'ya all
