Chapter 4: Breaking the News

~A/N~ This is now set at an undetermined time after the Blood-war where everything worked out and Ichigo kept his body.

Three words had escaped his lips and froze her in spot. Ikumi sat up so she could look down at her orange haired lover… to look straight into his eyes. Three simple words that she wanted to tell him with all her heart and soul. One phrase that was tossed around so willy-nilly now days came from him and it was directed at her. She heard how serious he was; he had thought long as hard about this. Ikumi couldn't believe it he said the very words she was going to tell him before he showed her those roses… The Roses… he was planning on telling her the entire time.

"What did you say?" Ikumi asked she needed to be sure she heard him right and that she wasn't hallucinating her heart's desire. Ichigo looked up nervously for a few seconds before his courage and resolve overtook him.

"I love you Ikumi Unagiya," Ichigo said again his hands moved from her ass to her hips then up to her face.

"You can't be serious…" Ikumi said before she could stop herself.

"No… I love you… and I mean it I've never felt this way with anyone. Not Inoue, not Rukia, not Tatsuki. I can't stop thinking about you. I shower and I think of our shower, I sleep and I think of you beside me," Ichigo explained Ikumi didn't know who the girls were that he brought up but she didn't care.

"You truly mean that?" Ikumi asked tearing up lightly.

"Yes with every fiber of my being," Ichigo replied.

"Oh Ichigo!" Ikumi cried dropping down to hug him tightly. "I love you too," she held him tightly sobbing lightly.

"Then why are you crying?" Ichigo asked forcing the two up his thumb wiping away tears.

"Joy… I thought my feelings would go unrequited," Ikumi said containing herself and stopping her tears.

"If I didn't love you I wouldn't be here… I wouldn't have come back… nor would I have been willing the first time," Ichigo replied. Ikumi leaned up to him pressing their lips together. She'd never felt this happy before as if a fog of pain and rejection was washed away by the light that was Ichigo Kurosaki.

"I love you Ichigo," she said as their lips parted. She would never get sick of telling him that.

"I love you Ikumi… more than I could ever convey," Ichigo said kissing her softly again. "Now let's go to sleep we can talk about where we go from here in the morning," Ichigo rolled Ikumi to his side and pulled the blanket over them.

"Ok," Ikumi replied curling up beside him. He'd never spent the night before now and now that he had confessed his love to her it seems the perfect time for him to stay and drift off in her bed.

'I did it… I told her. What now… do we live happily ever after or just take it day by day?' Ichigo thought as he looked up at the celling 'shit what about Kaoru… he hates my guts,' Ichigo wasn't sure how but he was going to make Kaoru ok with it… he wasn't going anywhere. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Family, friends, classmates, siblings, parents, obsessive orange haired girls and petite black haired girls were going to have to deal with it or get the fuck out of their way.

Ikumi was up long before Ichigo and in her kitchen preparing a full breakfast for her love and her child. Today was the day she would tell her son about Ichigo and their love for each other. And he would say something about hating Ichigo and how he wasn't good enough but that just wasn't true. He was everything she wanted and far more than she deserved.

The door creaked open and Kaoru stepped in he looked exhausted and very mad. Ikumi's face paled when he finally spoke. "How long?" He asked looking at his mother.

"What?" Ikumi asked praying he was talking about something else.

"How long has Ichigo been defiling you!?" Kaoru shouted. Ikumi froze nearly dropping the scrambled eyes she had made. Ikumi didn't know what to do how long had he known? From the beginning? From when he asked her to fire Ichigo?

"Kaoru… please sit down," Ikumi said putting the eggs on the counter.

"No tell me why!" Kaoru shouted.

"Because I love her," Ichigo's voice stopped both of them. "Kaoru I know you don't like me and there is nothing I can do to change that. But I am not leaving your mother just because I don't have her sons favor," Ichigo said walking passed him and over to Ikumi.

"You can't be with my Mom… she's too good for you!" he shouted. Ichigo closed his eyes for a moment then smiled.

"I think that too, every single day, how did I get this beautiful woman to love me? What did I do to deserve her? Both questions I don't have an answer for," Ichigo said looking at Ikumi.

"Ichigo," Ikumi said slowly her hands on his chest. "It's the other way around. I can't figure out why you'd wan-," Ikumi explained before he placed a finger on her lips.

"How could I not want you? Did you think you were too old? That I'd leave because of Kaoru? That I'd be put off by anything you'd do?" Ichigo asked before he openly pressed his lips against hers right in front of Kaoru.

Kaoru couldn't speak Ichigo had made it impossible to. He'd stolen his mother out from under him. His whole world felt as if it had just been shattered. "Kaoru," His mother's voice shattered through his worry. He looked to see her smiling at him her hand on his shoulder. "I know you don't like Ichigo but please… give him a chance… I love him very much. That doesn't mean I am going to forget about you. You're my son and nothing is ever going to change that or hurt how much I love you," Ikumi was on her knees in front of Kaoru hoping he'd be able to accept her love.

"O… Ok mom… I'll try for you," Kaoru said knowing he couldn't do a thing. "But if he ever hurts you," Kaoru started before Ichigo interrupted.

"I'd end myself before I hurt her," the seriousness in Ichigo's voice shocked Kaoru. He wasn't joking he really did care about his mom. "I'm never going to ask you to call me dad, or treat me as such… you can call me Ichigo or whatever you want. But I will not be leaving your mother for anything," Ichigo said.

"Fine… Ichigo… if you treat my mom good I will learn to deal," Kaoru said walking up to Ichigo he slowly rose his hand offering it as a deal to Ichigo.

"Sounds good to me," Ichigo shook his hand and looked to Ikumi. "I have to head home to shower and head to school," Ikumi gave a nod and blushed she'd forgotten that he was still a senior in high school. Ichigo looked down at Kaoru and gave him a reassuring nod before he turned to leave.

"I'll see you later my love," Ichigo said as he stepped out into the early morning sun.

"Ok," Ikumi blushed and turned to Kaoru. "Eat breakfast and shower you're going to be late," Kaoru nodded and sat down to his breakfast.

Ichigo stepped into the front of his house and stopped to see Yuzu and Karin both staring at him. "Where were you last night? You never came home," Yuzu asked looking at Ichigo.

"I spent the night at my girlfriend's house," Ichigo replied stopping the two in their tracks.

"GIRLFRIEND! That's my boy!" Isshin dropped down and grabbed Ichigo's arms. "Who is it? Inoue, Tatsuki, Rukia, that red haired girl? Or maybe that really serious looking thin black haired girl?" Isshin asked.

"None of the above… she's older," Ichigo said worried about his families response.

"How much older? All three asked in unison.

"Around ten years," Ichigo replied.

"Oh for a second I was thinking you had some kind of a mother fetish… but that's not… its Ikumi isn't it?"
Isshin started and quickly changed to a question.

"Yes," Ichigo replied.

"Well done she's a fine woman," Isshin said slapping Ichigo on the shoulder. "Treat her well and you will be fine," he added.

"Does this mean Ichigo is going to move away?" Yuzu asked worried.

"Not yet Yuzu," Ichigo said with a smile. "Now if you don't mind I need to shower for school,"

"Hey I want her and her son over here for dinner this Saturday," Isshin commanded as Ichigo went upstairs.

"I'll see what her plans are," Ichigo replied leaving his sisters in shock again.

"She has a son… do you think he's our age?" Yuzu asked looking at Karin.

"I'd assume he's be our age or a little younger," Karin said.

Ichigo stood in his shower smiling like a dork. His father was completely ok with her and wanted to meet her. He wondered what she would say to both of them coming over for dinner. She'd probably be ok with it. Ichigo paused Kaoru coming to his mind. 'He'd better not hit on Karin or Yuzu… that would just be weird,' Ichigo thought as he stepped out of the shower and dried himself reading for school.

He stood in his bedroom dressing when he heard his window open. "Long time no see Ichigo," a familiar for spoke.

"I'm getting dressed Rukia," Ichigo said as he put on his tight shirt; and turned to face the petite soul reaper. Rukia smiled lightly her black robes blew with the breeze that came into the room.

"How have you been?" Rukia asked.

"Really good actually, I'm passing everything in school, I have a girlfriend, Hollows haven't been to annoying, nobody's kidnapped any of my friends," Ichigo explained still smiling like a dork.

"Whoa whoa whoa back it up there… what's this about a Girlfriend?" Rukia asked catching him trying to pass over it like it was nothing.

"Yeah an awesome woman," Ichigo replied smiling happily taking Rukia by surprise. He'd never smiled this purely before; his smile was that of love and joy beyond everything she'd ever seen from him.

"Wow she's a real catch if she makes you like this," Rukia said blinking.

"I've never been happier I can't lie about that," Ichigo said walking to his door. "You coming to school or just doing a checkup?" Ichigo asked.

"I think I can be there for a day," Rukia said to interested in finding out who this mystery woman was and how she got into Ichigo's life so quickly.

"See you there then," Ichigo said stepping out of his bedroom.

Sure enough Rukia sat in class as Ichigo stepped in. "ICHIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kegio shouted running head long into Ichigo's arm.

"Morning Keigo," Ichigo said still in a ridiculously good mood.

"What put you in such a good mood?" Mizuiro asked.

"Oh it's just a good day for once," Ichigo said his vision went to Rukia and his eyes widened he knew what she was thinking and what she was about to do.

"It was this mystery woman wasn't it?" Rukia asked before he could stop her.

"MYSTERY WOMAN!" Keigo, Mizuiro, Orihime, Tatsuki and many more students said in shock at Ichigo.

"Ugh thanks for that Rukia," Ichigo said running his hand through his hair.

"You have a girlfriend Ichigo?" Orihime asked seemingly crushed. Tatsuki looked in disbelief, Keigo had passed out in shock and Mizuiro smiled at him he was clearly happy for him.

"So what's her name?" Mizuiro asked.

"YEAH WHO'S THE WOMAN STEALING YOU FROM US?" Keigo shouted suddenly awake.

"Stop yelling," Ichigo growled. "And her name is Ikumi," Ichigo added.

"Ikumi… nice name," Mizuiro said before a sly grin came over his face. "Say isn't that your-" Ichigo clasped his hand over Mizuiro's mouth.

"Yes Ikumi is my boss," Ichigo said before Mizuiro could say it.

"Your boss… so who wooed who?" Keigo asked.

"Nobody wooed anybody it just kinda happened one day," Ichigo said his face reddening saying more than he meant to.

"You've slept with her haven't you," Mizuiro said just eating this up. Ichigo flushed and looked away.

"Oh… my… god," Rukia said unable to believe the information she was getting.

"Hey we are together and I don't plan on breaking that up any time soon. So either deal with it or get out of my life," Ichigo growled.

"Oh don't get us wrong man we fully support you but it's just we didn't see it coming," Keigo said still digesting the information.

"Yeah Kurosaki-kun if you're happy we are all happy for you," Orihime said knowing her chance was gone but she would be there to support her friend.

"Thanks guys," Ichigo said sitting down in his desk as the day started.

Ichigo walked down the street it was time to ask Ikumi if she wanted to have supped with his family. And for once hope their meeting did end up in sex. Ichigo reach Ikumi's house and knocked lightly. "Come in," Ikumi's voice almost seemed to sing. Ichigo stepped inside to see Ikumi smiling happily as she mopped the kitchen floor.

"Ikumi-san," Ichigo said getting her to look at him.

"Hi Ichigo," Ikumi said moving over to him.

"I'm here to ask if you'd like to have dinner with my family this Saturday… Kaoru is invited as well," Ichigo said leaning against the doorframe.

"Of course I'd love to meet your family," Ikumi said her hand now on his chest. Ichigo leaned in his lips gently pressed against hers. They stopped hearing a 'ugh' from Kaoru whom entered the room.

"What? This is what people that are in love do. They kiss," Ichigo said seeing Kaoru's distain.

"You have to do it in front of me," Kaoru rolled his eyes.

"What's wrong with you? You should be happy that your mom is happy," Ichigo said wrapping his arms around Ikumi.

"I want mom to be happy. But you're still not good enough for her," Kaoru said leaving the room. He had said he would deal but it was clear he was going to have a problem for a while.

"Leave him be… he'll come around," Ikumi said resting her head on Ichigo's chest. Ichigo held Ikumi in his arms simply enjoying the smell of her hair.

"I love you Ikumi," Ichigo said kissing her forehead.

"I love you too," Ikumi replied. The two stood in their embrace for several long moments before Ichigo finally pulled back.

"I'll come get you Saturday before dinner… I'm going to show you the time of your life," Ichigo smiled.

"That sounds truly wonderful," Ikumi said kissing Ichigo.

"I was hoping you'd like that," Ichigo said kissing her again. "I have to head home now, Yuzu demands that I'm home for supper so we can chose dinner for Saturday night… and by 'we' I mean she," Ichigo said giving Ikumi one final kiss before he left.

"Ok I'll see you then," Ikumi said watching Ichigo walk away. She knew it wasn't forever but she hated to see him go. She wanted to ask him to move in with her, but she knew that was moving too fast. Ikumi closed the door and turned to see Kaoru looking at her.

"Do you really love him mom?" Kaoru asked.

"I really do Kaoru… I really do," Ikumi said. "Just thinking about him makes me smile and puts butterflies in my stomach," Ikumi explained.

"As long as that all he puts in your stomach," Ikumi's eyes widened.

"Kaoru," Ikumi pulled her son into her arms. "The love I have for Ichigo is different than the love I have for you… and if I ended up having a kid with Ichigo it wouldn't replace you. I'll always love you son," Ikumi said holding Kaoru close.

"I know mom I just want you to be happy with someone who's perfect for you," Kaoru said.

"Ichigo is perfect for me. He loves me the way I am and hasn't asked me to change a single thing," Ikumi replied.

"I guess I should get use to him then," Kaoru said sighing.

"Would you please? It would mean so much if the two most important men in my life got along," Ikumi said smiling at Ikumi.

"Only if you stop hiding yourself from me… I know you don't spend the whole day in a skirt and apron mom. I've known for a long while," Kaoru said.

"Ok no more secrets in this family," Ikumi said standing. "Would you like dinner now?" she asked.

"That sounds good," Kaoru replied.

Ichigo walked into his house to hear his father yelling on the phone about something while Yuzu made dinner and Karin played a boxing video game. Yuzu turned to him with a smile. "So is she coming over for dinner?" she asked.

"Yup this Saturday," Ichigo replied.

"Oh that's good I can't wait to meet her," Yuzu said with a smile.

Ichigo awoke in a good mood it was Saturday, he was going to spend the whole day with Ikumi until he brought her home for supper. He showered and dressed into a pair of tight black dress pants with a red button up shirt. He said goodbye to Karin and Yuzu leaving to see Ikumi. He stopped by the flower shop and picked up another bouquet of roses and made his way towards Ikumi's.

"Hey Ichigo… where ya heading?" a voice called out.

"To see the most beautiful woman in the world," Ichigo replied looking at Keigo who was on his way to Mizuiro's.

"Wow you are really head of heels for her?" Keigo asked.

"Yes I am," Ichigo replied returning to his walk as Keigo waved goodbye returning to his walk.

Ikumi stood in her bathroom combing her wet hair into submission before she got to her make-up. She didn't normally wear make-up but this was a special occasion. She didn't just want to look nice for Ichigo's family she wanted to stun them. She moved from the bathroom to her bedroom trying to pick out what dress she wanted to wear. Nothing to casual but definitely not to formal either; she finally picked out a mid-shin length red sundress with gold a couple of golden flowers on it.

She picked up a pair of matching red heels to complete her look and headed for the living room to wait for Ichigo. She stopped when she heard Ichigo talking to Kaoru. 'He's here early,' Ikumi thought as she peeked to see him. She felt her mouth water seeing him in his tight pants and red shirt. But he seemed like he was in a deep conversation with Kaoru and hadn't noticed her yet.

"Answer something for me Ichigo," Kaoru said having already had Ichigo's undivided attention.

"What's on your mind?" Ichigo asked.

"Do you really love my mom?" Kaoru asked. Ikumi bit her lip she wanted to hear what Ichigo was going to say when she wasn't around.

"No… Love it to weak… what I feel for your mom is beyond love. She invades my mind all day every day. I can't get her out of my head. I'm completely obsessed with her. I don't know what I would do if she decided she didn't want me around," Ichigo explained.

"So what are you plans?" Kaoru asked.

"Short term… I plan to spend all the time I can with her, without hindering her work or her relationship with you. Long term… marriage… but that's a while off," Ichigo said.

"You want to marry my mom?" Kaoru asked.

"One day yes… while it's not on the top of my to do list with her it's there. I want to spend the rest of my life with her," Ichigo said looking up. His eyes made contact with Ikumi's and his face went redder than Renji's hair. "How much did you hear?" Ichigo asked. Kaoru shot up turning to see his mom in the doorway. Ikumi said nothing only moved towards him.

She got within a few inches of him and wrapped her arms around his neck making Kaoru roll his eyes and leave the room. "Every word," Ikumi said pressing herself against him. Ichigo leaned in pressing their lips together. Ichigo slid his arms around her back pulling her into their kiss. Ikumi pulled back after a few moments.

"Are you ready to go my love?" Ichigo asked. "Kaoru we'll be back at five thirty to pick you up for dinner," He added.

"Gotcha Ichigo," Kaoru replied, Ikumi was surprised she didn't hear any malcontent in his voice. He actually seemed to be ok with it.

Ichigo said they would that he would show her the time of her life and he was right. He took her for a wonderfully peaceful walk through the park, to a great movie where she was able to snuggle up against him, and a lusty make out session in a dressing room at her favorite store. They walked hand in hand towards her home to hang out for a while before they went to him place for dinner.

"Ichigo," a voice called out. Ichigo looked to see Rukia and Renji standing a ways off. They were in their gigais thankfully making it so Ichigo could reply.

"Who are they?" Ikumi asked not knowing many of his friends.

"Good friends," Ichigo replied. "Hey Rukia, Renji how are you guys?" Ikumi looked over the two. The girl was shorted with black hair and a cute smile. She wore a yellow sundress with blue flowers on it. The man was bigger than Ichigo and looked like he was made from marble. His long red hair was kept in a spiked fox tail; he wore a tight red shirt with a rabbit's face and bell bottom jeans.

"You must be Ikumi," Rukia said offering her hand.

"Yes, I'm sorry but I don't know either of your names," Ikumi said slightly embarrassed.

"Oh it's no problem. I'm Rukia Kuchiki, this is my boy-toy Renji Abari," Rukia said hitting Renji's stomach.

"Hey… I'm no toy… I'm AN ACTION FIGURE!" Renji shouted posing showing off his muscles.

"Knock it off Renji," Ichigo said sliding his hand from Ikumi's to her shoulder draping his arm over her. Ikumi wrapped her arm around Ichigo's waist pulling them next to each other.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet some of Ichigo's friends," Ikumi said

"Yeah…are you his girlfriend?" Renji asked.

"Yes she is," Ichigo said.

"HOLY SHIT! Way to go Ichigo! You hooked a real babe," Renji said getting Ruki to hit him in the stomach.

"I told you he had a girlfriend," Rukia said.

"Yeah but you didn't says he was a babe. You just said and I quote 'Oh Ichigo is dating someone' the other night," Renji said as Ichigo and Ikumi passed by.

"We'll catch you later we are gunna be late for dinner," Ichigo lied to get away.

The two made it another two blocks before they were stopped again this time by Orihime whom came flying around the corner and nearly ran into Ikumi. "Whoa careful Orihime … where are you going?" Ichigo asked.

"Oh I'm late for a date," Orihime said smiling.

"With who?" Ichigo asked.

"Not that kind of date but with Sado," Orihime said.

"What kind is it?" Ichigo asked.

"One to see if there might be something between us," Orihime said moving around Ichigo giving Ikumi a smile. "I'll see you later," she added before she took off.

Ikumi curled up on her couch next to Ichigo her head resting on his shoulder. They had an hour before they were expected for dinner. She tilted her head back and kissed him lightly. Ichigo gave a chuckle and pulled her closer to him. "Did you really mean it when you said you wanted to marry me?" Ikumi asked.

"Eventually yes," Ichigo said in complete seriousness.

"And do you really think about me all the time?" she asked.

"Yes it's nonstop. Not that I'm complaining," Ichigo replied.

"I'll make sure you get one hell of a reward tonight," Ikumi said.

"I look forward to it," Ichigo replied.

Ikumi, Kaoru and Ichigo walked through the front door of the Kurosaki home. Ichigo lead them around the corner to see Yuzu in the kitchen cooking, Karin sitting on the couch once again playing a video game and Isshin had just finished buttoning up his black shirt. "Dad, Yuzu, Karin this is Ikumi and her son Kaoru," Ichigo introduced them as his family walked up.

"Ikumi, Kaoru this is my dad Isshin. And my little sisters Karin and Yuzu," Ichigo said.

"Oh you two are adorable," Ikumi said looking at Karin and Yuzu both of who blushed lightly hearing her compliment. Isshin walked up to her a very serious look in his face. Ikumi was about to offer her hand when he pulled her into a hug.

"It's great to meet you. You're the one I have to thank for making my boy a true man!" Isshin said happily as he hugged her. "And you little man," he knelt down so only Kaoru would be able to hear him.

"Yes?" Kaoru asked.

"Keep an eye on my son, he's a tricky one," Isshin said only to get a foot in the face.

"I am not," Ichigo retorted to his father having heard him.

"What I said nothing," Isshin said standing up.

"So what did you make for dinner?" Ikumi asked looking at Isshin.

"Dad can't cook. I made a roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, scalloped corn, breadsticks, and an apple pie for desert," Yuzu said smiling.

"Wow you did that yourself?" Ikumi asked.

"Yeah Yuzu is best cook," Karin said hooking and arm around her twin.

"The breadsticks should be done in a minute then we can eat," Yuzu said freeing herself to check on the food. Ichigo gave Ikumi a kiss on the cheek then followed Yuzu to help carry the food in.

Karin ushered them over to the table sitting Kaoru in between herself and Yuzu's spot leaving Ichigo to sit next to Ikumi just like he would want. Ikumi paused seeing a large picture of a stunningly beautiful woman on the wall. She had long brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, eyes that Ichigo had inherited.

"That's our mom, she died in an accident a little over ten years ago," Karin explained. Ikumi gave a nod knowing the day in question. She nearly had a panic attack that day; Ichigo had dropped off the map that day. She couldn't reach him at all. His cell was off and nobody answered the house phone, she was only calmed when she had called the clinic to hear they were closed for a special reason.

And then in came dinner, Ichigo carried the roast while Yuzu managed to carry the potatoes and gravy leaving Isshin with the breadsticks and the corn. Ikumi still couldn't believe one little girl cooked all of the food herself. It all smelled wonderful and made her hungry just thinking about it.

It got late fast and before Ikumi knew it Kaoru, Yuzu and Karin had all fallen asleep on the couch. "Maybe you should spend the night," Ichigo said looking at Kaoru whom had hit it off with Karin and Yuzu. They both liked him as a brother even though they would be his aunts if he married Ikumi.

"Where will Kaoru sleep?" Ikumi asked.

"We have a spare bedroom," Isshin said picking up Karin and Yuzu. Ichigo gave a nod and picked up Kaoru taking him to their spare bedroom.

Once the kids had been put to bed Ichigo and Ikumi sat on the couch to watch T.V. for a while before they went to bed themselves; Isshin on the other hand had already clocked out in his arm chair.

"How about we head to bed?" Ikumi whispered seductively into Ichigo's ear.

"Sounds like a plan to me," Ichigo replied.

Ikumi laid under Ichigo her sundress already removed and forgotten along with his shirt. "God that dress was stunning but I like you like this more," Ichigo whispered into Ikumi's ear as he started to kiss her neck just below her ear slowly moving over her. He liked doing this more than actually having sex, simply kissing her everywhere, showing her how important she was to him. Something he wanted to make sure she knew everyday.

"I love you Ikumi," Ichigo said huskily. Ikumi ran her hands up Ichigo's chest smiling.

"I love hearing that from you. And I love you too," Ikumi said letting Ichigo have full access of her body. For him she was an open book she would do anything to make him stay with her. Ichigo's kisses slowly trailed down Ikumi's body. Over the breasts that he always gave so much time and attention to, down her beautifully toned belly. The belly Ichigo wished to see grow with his child, something he wouldn't be telling Ikumi yet, how badly he wanted to be a father with her. But it was way too early in his life and their relationship for a child.

He kissed passed her womanhood going down her leg, kissing her thigh, her knee, her shin and her foot before he moved to the other and worked his way back up from foot to thigh. Ikumi moaned lightly a hand clasped over her mouth, the last thing she wanted was to wake Karin or Yuzu.

"Don't worry Ikumi… my room is sound proof," Ichigo said Isshin had done so a few years back when Ichigo went through a heavy metal, death metal music phase. Now it served a better purpose. Ikumi believed him and let her moans out, and was it music to Ichigo's ears. He loved to hear her moan from his kisses and licks.

"Ichigo…" Ikumi moaned his name as he reached his favorite spot to kiss. He draped her legs over his shoulders as he started to lick her. His hands moved up her body caressing her skin, he couldn't get enough of her.

Ikumi started to moan more as his tongue and lips worked on her femininity. He flicked his tongue over her clit and kissed her lips several times before he finally slid his tongue into her. Ikumi gripped the sheets moaning loudly now, her back started to arch as he ate her out. Ichigo had gotten way to good at it, he knew all of her sensitive spots and exactly when to hit them to cause the best effect from her.

"Ah Ichigo," Ikumi gasped out as she climaxed. Her body shuddered as her ecstasy shook through her body. Ichigo lapped up her juices and took his time moving back up her body.

"Oh god Ichigo… you're so damn good at that already," Ikumi said her eyes trailing down his body they made contact with the bulge in his pants making her lick her lips. She loved to make him squirm with her mouth.

"I know what you want," Ichigo said unbuttoning his pants. Ikumi made short work of his pants and boxers shortly after that. She got over him; it was her turn to kiss his body. She did the same starting at his neck kissing down his chest. She licked at his nipples and over his stomach giving each one of his abs a few kisses before she reached her main course. Her hand had already started to stroke him to his full size while she kissed his body. With another lick to her lips she took his cock in and sucking straight down to the base. She had gotten use to his cock pushing down her throat and was able to restrain her gag reflex to giving him all the attention he right deserved.

She pulled off licking down to his balls giving them several kisses before she took him in again. Ichigo moaned as she worked over him. She had gotten so damn good at head. Her tongue never stopped working over his length nor did her teeth ever come close to touching.

"Ikumi I can't," Ichigo moaned as she gave a soft moan of understanding. Ichigo let himself go and burst into her mouth. Ikumi gulped down wave after wave of his seed making sure that she got every last drop.

"Delicious," Ikumi said remembering the first time and how bitter it tasted, now he tasted good a little on the salty side but still good.

Ichigo waiting until she had moved back up her body and pressed their lips together, the remnants of their mutual appreciation of each other still lingered on their lips as they kissed. He debated on letting her start on top or if he wanted to take her. Ikumi answered his question for him; she mounted him and slid him into her in one solid movement. She moaned as his size sunk into her. Ichigo grabbed her hips as he started to thrust up into her. He loved that her body fit him like a glove. She quickly worked herself into a fast pace of bouncing; sex with Ichigo had quickly become her favorite form of exercise, entertainment and intimacy. He always made sure she got everything she wanted from him. Ichigo pulled himself up his hands sliding up her back as they started to kiss while she rode him. Their lips lustfully traced over each other's as Ichigo's hand intertwined in her hair.

"Ichigo," Ikumi moaned lowering herself back. She laid back offering her body to the man she loved. Ichigo dropped over her still buried in her; he started his thrusts back up. He felt Ikumi's legs wrap around his waist as he plowed into her. Ikumi ran her hands up Ichigo's chest her fingers running over his light chest hair.

"Ikumi… I love you," Ichigo said kissing her neck pumping into her with everything he had. Ikumi moaned loudly as she neared another euphoric high. Ichigo knew she was about to climax he had become so in tuned with her body he knew her weak spots and hit them over and over.

"Ichigo!" Ikumi cried out as she climaxed onto Ichigo. Ichigo held out from erupting he wasn't done yet. He wanted so much more form her tonight.

"Ichigo…," Ikumi said softly.

"What's wrong?" Ichigo asked.

Ichigo became intensely more worried as the moments ticked passed. She'd never been this quite around him or much to his worry she had never looked this worried. "My period is late,"
