I was in that dark abyss again. I hate the feeling of immobility and that is how I felt in the dream. I was on my back but my hair floated around me like if I was in water but not. I was suddenly being pulled deeper into the abyss. I was ok with it if it weren't for the bad feeling forming in the pit of my stomach again. Then I jumped.
"Sorry."
"What the? Shinji?"
"You looked sound asleep I didn't know how to wake you."
"Good thing you did."
"Why?"
I got up and rubbed my eyes, he was sitting at the edge of the bed looking at me.
"I don't know I think I was having a nightmare."
I removed the covers offering him room and he gladly accepted. I lay back down with him at my side. He smelled nice. It's rare for me to find a good smelling guy.
"Want to talk about it?"
"Hmm no."
I snuggled closer to him. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.
"Have you ever had long hair?"
"What?"
"I'm just curious since you have short hair."
"Yeah back when I was a captain in soul society. It was as long as yours is except I had bangs."
"Hmmm I like guys with long hair. Makes me wonder why I'm with you."
He tensed and I smiled. I kissed him.
"Seriously you're fun to mess with."
He pouted and turned from me as I was going to kiss him. This time I was the one on top. My hands were at either side of his face as I straddled him. He looked at me confused but still smirked at me.
"Want to have another session?"
"Hmm maybe."
His arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me down towards him. My hair fell like curtains around us as we kissed. Suddenly I heard it,
"You hear that?"
"Hear what?"
I stood up and looked out the window. I could vaguely see a shadow creep around the apartment.
"Tch she was right."
"Who was?"
"Gaz told me that something has been following us. I can't see it but she can. The reason I've been feeling weak is because of that thing. It's happened before but I never thought it would happen again."
"He looked out the window and I saw his expression change."
He pulled me away from the window.
"How long have you been getting this feeling?"
"Since we got here. It got stronger today, that's what caused me to faint."
I shivered.
"I'm going to check on Gaz."
I left the room. I knocked on Gaz's door,
"What's going on?" she asked me sleepy
"Sorry to wake you but that thing is outside. Shinji is here."
"Aw man."
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah."
She allowed me into her room and I concentrated.
"Nothing out of the ordinary."
"Good." she said as she went back to bed
"Call me if something happens."
"I will."
I closed her door and went back to my room. I felt around the house but everything was fine. Once I walked into my room it was different. Shinji was waiting for me.
"How is she?"
"She's fine. Do you know what it is?"
"Yeah it's a hollow but it feels different."
I started rummaging through one of my drawers and pulled out some sage.
"What's that?"
"It's an old family remedy. This herb cleanses the house or person of bad spirits."
"You believe in this?"
"I did it once before."
He looked at me as I stood in the middle of my room and lit the tip of the sage that was wrapped around in red thread. As it caught on fire I blew on it creating incense. I closed my eyes and breathe in the scent of sage, my favorite. I heard the door open and Gaz walked into my room.
"Is something wrong?"
"No but you know how much I love it when you cleanse."
She sat next to Shinji as she too closed her eyes and took in the scent. I started a small prayer and started to go around the room spreading the scent of sage. As I did so I could feel the heavy atmosphere disappear little by little. Shinji got up and looked out the window.
"It's gone."
"Hmm."
"Do my room!" said Gaz
I followed her out the room and did the same to her room. After I was done I figured I should do the same to the rest of the apartment. After I was done we headed back to our room, I turned off the sage and put it back into my drawer. I inhaled and stretched.
"Much better."
"Yay! Well goodnight." Gaz said as she headed to her room
I closed my door and jumped on top of Shinji who was on the bed. He was able to grab me and roll me on to my back. He smiled at me and kissed me, this time a different feeling formed in my stomach. I pulled him closer to me by his tie. I deepened the kiss as I gently nibbled on his bottom lip. His hands were messaging my thighs. His tongue slipped into my mouth and I felt his tongue ring rub up against my tongue. I was starting to get used to the feel of his tongue ring and I liked it. His lips left mine but they found something else, my neck. He sucked and nibbled at the spot he had found the night before.
"If I find those marks any redder by tomorrow morning, you're going to regret it." I said trying really hard to keep my voice serious
I felt him suck harder, my back arched as he bit down onto my bare shoulder. I grabbed his hair and pulled his head back as I started to suck his neck with as much force as he had done to me. I heard him moan as I found his pulse and suck it hard. His tie was getting in the way so I undid it and threw it somewhere in my room and started to unbutton his shirt.
"Wait."
I guess he thought I was getting a bit out of control but seriously all I wanted was to get him back for biting my shoulder and I really couldn't accomplish that without removing his tie.
I looked at the time and it was past 2am. I sighed and got up.
"Come on lets sleep. We still have two days of school." I said as I started to feel tired.
I settled in and so did Shinji. He held me close and kissed the side of my head.
"Goodnight."
"Night."
It was after school and I had gone with Tatsuki to the dojo. They had ended their practice and I was speaking to the coach, apparently I did have some skill and they wanted me to join. After I accepted me, Gaz and Tatsuki were by a park when I started to feel something very wrong in the atmosphere.
"Gaz!"
There was a large explosion. There were screams and a lot of dust. I looked towards the area where the explosion had taken place and I saw two shadows. One was rather large while the other was small. Gaz and Tatsuki were getting up when something that I never felt before over powered me. I fell to my knees feeling as my very life essence was being sucked away. I was having trouble breathing, I looked to my right, Gaz and Tatsuki were having the same complications. But as I looked around the rest of the people around laid on the ground motionless. The heavy atmosphere lifted but I was still in a weakened state. The dust had cleared it revealed a large black figure in white clothing. The small one was abnormally pale with piercing green eyes. I made eye contact with the smaller one.
"Well looks like those three survived. Should I kill them Ulquiorra?"
"Ul…quiorra?"
The big guy started to approach us. Gaz and Tatsuki were still on their knees, I was able to get up. I faced him.
"Well seems like you're the strongest of the three."
He raised his arm. I knew what he was going to do. How I despise men who hit on the weak. I felt this surge of energy coarse through me as I got angry. I was attempting to block but another classmate named Chad appeared right before me countering the blow. Orihime was beside us.
"Tak-chan are you alright?"
"Yeah." I said weakly
"Orihime, take them to a safer place."
Orihime got Tatsuki as I got Gaz. She took us to a 'safer' place but as soon as another explosion was heard I nodded to her.
"Don't worry I'm not in a bad shape. I'll look after them."
I sat next to Gaz and as hard as I fought I couldn't keep my eyes open. I fell back into the black abyss.
I don't know how much time had passed but I awoke in a dark room. It was my room. I got up and saw Shinji get up from a chair that was close to my bed.
"Where's Gaz?"
"She's in her room, don't worry Kensei is with her."
"What the hell happened?"
He sat down on my bed hugging me close to him. He was upset, I didn't know how I knew but he was upset.
"Aizen, he's made his move."
"Bastard didn't have to kill innocent people."
"He doesn't care."
He gently grabbed my chin and made me look at him.
"Your training starts tomorrow. We can't risk you or Gaz targeted."
"We have school."
Sigh… "I know. I'll be picking you up and take you to school, I won't be sticking around but after school I'm picking you up and your training will begin."
"Ok."
He kissed me softly and laid me back into my bed.
"Rest, you were close to death today."
"As if I'll be going down without a fight."
He laughed as he got into bed with me. Sleep came easy and I didn't have any nightmares.
It was Friday and school went by fast. Shinji waited for us after school and we walked to the warehouse. They all stopped what they were doing and gathered underground.
"Ok we don't know what you are capable of so we are going to test you on a few things." said Shinji
"We work best together." said Gaz
I was looking around my surroundings. I wasn't paying attention to what they were discussing but I felt a change in the wind. I grabbed Gaz's hand and quickly moved to the left. Hiyori had swung her sword at us. It was sheathed so I grabbed the sword with my right hand. I pushed Hiyori back.
"What the hell?"
"Pay attention." said Gaz
Apparently she had told them we work best as a team and she was right. I was always the muscle in the group as she was the brain. This time Lisa took a shot at us, appearing behind us she kicked down towards us but I blocked with my left. She had jumped and gotten speed as she descended upon us but I was able to block with both arms and wrap my arms around her leg and swing her around. She landed on her feet.
"So far Tak is the one doing all the work." said Hiyori
"Are you sure about that?"
Gaz was by my side. Technically she hadn't moved. She yawned, we were both earth bound. So where I had strength she had speed. We figured it out when we were in a predicament back home.
This time Mashiro attacked us. She had a mask on and charged at us with great speed. I clapped my right hand with Gaz's left and as soon as we felt each other we set up a counter attack. Gaz charged first and swung at her but Mashiro moved to the left and that's when I emerged from beneath Gaz, I hit her with my fist that sent her flying upward.
"MASHIRO!"
The only problem when Gaz and I tag team is that we can't control how much strength and speed we share. That's why we always just stay close by one another.
"Oops."
I joined Gaz and waited for the people to calm down. She wasn't badly injured, I hoped. Hiyori was the first to raise her voice.
"Maybe we should go." said Gaz
"Good idea."
We both grabbed our bags and told Hachi to shut it since he was the one who remained at our side.
"Where are you going?" he whispered
"We are getting out of here." said Gaz
I held out a peace sign at him pretty much saying 'later'. Gaz and I high five each other and ran out the training ground and out the warehouse. We were still running when we decided to stop at the river where Shinji and I had talked.
"You think she's alright?" asked Gaz sounding a bit worried
"I wouldn't know. She felt alright."
"I had a bad feeling about the whole tag team thing."
"Hmmm."
I felt them. I high five Gaz but they were already there.
"Why'd ya leave?"
I didn't say a word. Gaz looked at Kensei and then at Shinji.
"Is she alright?"
"Mashiro is fine, just a minor bruise." answered Shinji
"Gaz."
She looked at me and nodded. She got right next to me.
"I don't think you have to worry about us. We'll be fine."
I raised my hand to high five her.
"Wait!"
I stopped and looked at Shinji.
"We can help ya control it."
Gaz looked at me. I knew how she felt. She didn't want to push them away, especially Kensei. I sighed,
"We'll stay." said Gaz
'I hope we don't regret this later on.'
'Yeah.'
We went back to the warehouse and found Hiyori glaring at me, of course she would. I was the one that held strength. I felt it, since the moment she found out about me and Shinji, she doesn't trust me. I apologized to Mashiro who had a swollen cheek. She gave me one of her killer hugs. We practiced a bit more, this time I tried really hard not to use my strength but it resulted in getting yelled at by Love.
Gaz and I stopped, making everyone look at us.
"We have to go home."
"Why? It's the weekend." said Shinji
"We have a date tomorrow."
"With who?" I heard both Shinji and Kensei say in unison which made me and Gaz smile at each other.
"Tatsuki and Orihime. They told us they were going to show us around."
They both had a look of relief on their face but Shinji's changed.
"You can't go."
"Huh?"
"Ya need to train."
"I'll train after I'm done."
"No, you'll train until you-"
I had punched him in the rib causing him to double over for the third time.
"Any objections?"
The rest of the gang shook their heads. As Gaz and I left we couldn't help but feel relieved to get out of the warehouse.
"I don't want to go back."
"Me neither."
"Should we avoid them?"
I looked at Gaz. I knew this was going to happen, she did it quiet often. We got to our apartment and decided to eat. We hadn't eaten since lunch time at school and we were both hungry. I fixed us up something quick and that would help us regain our strength. Gaz had gone up to take a shower as I cleaned up. I started to feel weird as I thought about Shinji. I couldn't help but feel regret from the last time I hit him.
"He's getting to you that much?"
"Hmm."
"Don't worry its happening to me too."
Gaz had gotten out of the shower.
"You should go relieve yourself. It might help."
I turned to look at her smirking face.
"Is that what you did while you were in there?"
"Maybe."
"So… was he good?"
I felt her tense and I smiled.
"You're a jerk."
"Don't worry I might just take your advice into consideration."
"Well whatever I'm going to bed. At what time did Tatsuki said she was going to drop by?"
"Um 11am I think."
"Alright. Goodnight."
"Hmm."
I finished cleaning the kitchen and went to go take a shower. After a very satisfying shower I went to my room to change. As I entered my room I felt a gust of wind.
"I don't remember leaving my window open."
I looked towards my closet and felt him.
"Get out of there you perv."
The closet door opened and out he came holding his nose.
"What's wrong with your nose?"
"Nothing." he said too quickly
My wet hair was sticking to my skin as I held onto the towel that wrapped around my body loosely. He got up and turned around as soon as he saw me. I grabbed him by his tie and threw him out of my room.
"Stay."
I said as I slammed the door. I quickly changed to my large basketball shorts and a black muscle shirt. I opened the door finding him sitting up against the door. So he had fallen backwards as I opened the door.
"Sorry."
"Save it."
He got up and got into my room. I closed the door and laid on my bed, I was looking up to the ceiling. Well to the poster I had stuck on earlier of my favorite movie.
"The Warriors?" he asked
"You've lived for over 100 years. What have you been doing all this time?"
He stood quiet and I knew why.
"It's not healthy you know. Be glad that you are alive."
He was playing with a lock of my wet hair.
"Hey what's that?"
He got my left arm and inspected my brand.
"It's a wolf if that's what you are wondering."
"Aren't you a little young to be getting tattoos?"
"What are you my dad?"
He sighed and traced my tattoo that was on my bicep. I shivered.
"Ticklish?"
"That part has gotten sensitive."
"Did it hurt?"
"The shading stung, it was like a burning sensation. I was able to bare it."
"Burning sensation huh."
I looked at him as he got on top of me. Immediately we had started to make out. I was having a hard time keeping up with him as he held my wrist up above my head. I wasn't fighting him so he let go and his hands traveled down my arms, down my torso and to my hips. There his hands dug underneath my shirt and got a firm hold of my bare hips. He pushed me further up my bed so my head lay in the pillows. He started to remove my shorts which made me jump a little but he kept kissing me. He removed my shorts leaving me in my black muscle shirt and black boy shorts. I wasn't able to stop him as he removed my boy shorts as well. He had gotten a hold of my wrists with his left hand as he removed my shorts with his right. He started to kiss me down my jaw line to my neck and kissed down my clothed torso.
"what-"
"Shhh you have me now. There's no reason for you to pleasure yourself in the shower."
I blushed, literally. He knew?
I was about to protest when I felt him kissing my inner thighs. My legs automatically closed but he kept them apart which made me blush even more. I felt his tongue and my body jumped, he held me down though. His licks were long. He was savoring me I could feel it as he kept licking me and sucking on my lips. It felt good, way better than the shower. He found my clit and sucked on it making me jump. My hand was on his hair gently twirling my index finger on a lock of his hair. I felt something built up in my stomach. I felt it before but this was different my legs felt weak and my breathing picked up. My back arched as his tongue went deeper. I couldn't hold it anymore.
"Shinji!"
I let go and I felt him suck me more. I was trying to catch my breath when he kissed his way back up to me and kissed me hungrily. He had placed himself between my legs and I felt it. His throbbing member was pressed up against me. His hips started to grind up against me making me gasp. I started to push him to the side so I could relieve him but he stopped me.
"Shinji."
"No. I'm fine."
I got to hand it to him for not jumping at the chance at his dick getting sucked but it made me feel, I don't know, bad that he was 'suffering'.
"Don't worry I'll make sure we won't go too far." I whispered to his ear as my hands worked his pants.
He tried to stop my hands but I bit down on his lip as I kissed him making him surrender and lay down.
"Trust me." I kissed him and worked my way down south.
He was pretty hard. There was no way he would be able to cure this with a cold shower. As I pulled his pants to his thighs I was sort of getting nervous. See I had never done what I was about to do before. Good thing my hair was covering my face as my lips kissed his tip because I felt stupid. I didn't know what to do with it. I relaxed as I kissed the side of his shaft trying to remember something similar to this that I had encountered. Banana? No that won't work. Then it came to me, an ice cream of course. Well those ice pop thingies or whatever they are called. So as I was at the base when I licked him from the base to the tip earning me a shutter from him. I figured there was no way I could fit him all in my mouth, I could but one step at a time. My hand grabbed the base as I took as much as I could of him in. I started to bob my head and work my hand in a rhythm. His hand was messaging my scalp and intertwining his fingers in my hair. I heard him groan as I used my tongue to put pressure on him. His grip got tighter on my hair and that's when I felt it. His member throbbed and a warm liquid filled my mouth.
"Tak!" he hissed
I was able to swallow everything to my surprise. I sucked him clean before pulling his pants back on. I looked for my boy shorts and shorts and put them on when I found them.
Shinji was still breathing hard when I lay next to him giving a gentle kiss on his cheek. It was almost 1am and I was tired. I fell asleep but was pulled from my slumber as Shinji pulled me closer to him kissing my lips. I smiled and kissed him back. We both fell asleep.
