Renji awoke in a very good mood, his arms wrapped around the orange haired god in his bed. The orange haired god however, was still fast asleep. His face was peaceful his lips parted in a way that pleased his partner no end. Renji couldn't resist any longer. Ichigo's eyes fluttered open as he felt pleasingly gentle kisses working their way up his navel to his chest, paying close attention to his collar bone and the nape of his neck. Renji was now straddling him with a contented smile tracing his lips, be leant forward and pressed his lips gently against Ichigo's. They shared a slow lingering kiss.

"Good morning." Renji purred, his lips barely leaving Ichigo's. Ichigo gave his partner his sexiest lazy smile. Renji started tracing his lips back down Ichigo's toned torso all the while his hands softly brushing every inch of Ichigo's skin. Ichigo's brain was addled by so many sensations, he certainly wasn't sleepy anymore. By the time Renji reached Ichigo's crotch he was more than ready for him but Ichigo was surprised as Renji's kiss skipped his midsection and started moving down his thighs all the way to his ankles. He looked up from Ichigo's feet unable to keep a cheeky smile from his lips. He softly placed a kiss on the head of his lover's neglected manhood, earning a moan of approval. Ichigo pushed his hips upwards to meet his lover's lips but Renji pushed his hips back down and gently rolled his orange haired lover onto his stomach.

"We're taking it slow this morning, Ichigo." His lips began they're tantalising route cross Ichigo's shoulder blades. His calculating deft hands began to brush against Ichigo's skin making Ichigo tingle from head to foot. Renji moaned at ichigo's taste. He worked his way down Ichigo's spine until his lips met his ass cheek, fingers kneading Ichigo's ass just below his lips. It crossed Ichigo's mind that he never knew Renji could be so gentle, but the thought didn't linger too long. Renji's tongue started moving its way down Ichigo's crack. He's not going to … … Ichigo thought, his heart pumping against his ribs. He did. Renji's tongue found the hole.

"Renji! That's dirty!" Ichigo gasped, he felt an embarrassed flush creep across his cheeks.

"I know." Came Renji's moan, ignoring his lovers protest his tongue continued its merciless assault. How can something so dirty feel so good? Ichigo began to moan, he pushed his hips off the bed to give his lover better access. He felt Renji slowly push himself inside with a groan, he began his slow gentle thrusts grabbing ichigo's crotch. Renji kept hitting that sweet spot inside ichigo but whenever Ichigo was about to come he'd slow, Ichigo felt like begging Renji to just take him hard, but there was no way Ichigo would say it. Renji suddenly couldn't take anymore and began moving quicker and it wasn't long before Ichigo came, tensing all around Renji sending him into heaven. Both men collapsed onto the bed and curled into each other's arms still panting and throbbing.

"That was the best wake-up call I've ever had." Ichigo whispered trying to catch his breath. Renji just nodded and planted a soft kiss on Ichigo's lips. Ichigo felt a warm feeling in his chest; he liked Renji like this, he felt … well, loved. He raised an eyebrow at the redhead. "What are you looking at me like that for?" Renji laughed.

"I didn't know that you could be so cute." Ichigo teased.

"Don't get too used to it." Renji smirked.


Ichigo was walking into the Rukongai with 5 other shinigami from squad six; they were all still lower ranking members with little experience so he was put in charge of the group. There was a group of hollows wreaking havoc in district 68; a simple extermination of hollows shouldn't be too much of a hard task. What worried Ichigo was that the others in the group seemed a little green. He felt a smirk crawl onto his face as he remembered his wake up call. Stop it! Baka! I'm on a mission!

"Kurosaki-san? Are you okay?" A young Shinigami asked looking at the team leader with worry. She was the only member of the 6 man cell that wasn't a little scared of him. All the new shinigami had heard of the Kurosaki Ichigo and his heroic antics, and his blatant disregard for soul society laws. Ichigo snapped himself out of his day-dream as he felt the reitsu of a hollow nearby and heard it screech. He instinctively pulled the girl behind his back and drew Zangetsu. The girl frowned and stepped out from behind Ichigo also with her Zanpakuto drawn.

"You forget I'm a shinigami too, Kurosaki-san." She chided and Ichigo replied with a grin. However, the rest of the team looked like they would have happily hid behind Ichigo. Ichigo was glad there was at least one of the team that wouldn't hold him back.

The hollow soon made it's appearance, it was adjuchas class and quick. This wouldn't pose a big problem for Ichigo but it could cause a problem for the others if another one showed up. He ran towards the hollow and used shunpo to get behind it to its blind spot and slashed at the back of its head. The hollow disintegrated in front of the wide eyes of Ichigo's team. They had never seen Ichigo in action before and it all happened so quickly that they couldn't even follow it with their eyes. Suddenly a huge reitsu was felt from the line of trees to their left. 5 hollows came from the forest towards the team of young shinigami; two of them were huge and were blatantly not ordinary hollow as they seemed to be directing the other hollow.

"More adjuchas?! What's going on?" Ichigo groaned. All the shinigami were soon back to back in a circle as the hollows closed in. "I'll take care of the two adjuchas you guys take care of the others'"

Ichigo stepped forward lunging at the first adjuchas which blocked his attack with a huge tentacle like arm. "You're an ugly fucker ain't ya?" Ichigo taunted the Hollow, It suddenly occurred to him that the jibe was more like something Renji would say. He used shunpo to get behind it again and built up his reitsu in his right arm.

"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" the power ripped straight through the adjuchas, tearing it in half and crashing into the other making short work of it.

The other hollows span around to look at the threat that was Ichigo. The Shinigami girl took advantage of their distraction and slashed across a small hollows mask, it took two more slashes but the hollow was finally defeated. The other hollows started to retreat. "Don't let them escape!" Ichigo yelled at the men who were just stood gawping.

This seemed to give them courage as they started to run down the remaining hollow. Ichigo flash stepped towards the girl who was clutching a cut on her arm, it was only shallow, it would heal in a few days.

"Well done." Ichigo gave her a warm smile and he dashed off to help the rest.


When the team reached Seretei it was nightfall. After he gave his report in at squad six's barracks he started making his way through Seretei maze-like streets. He turned a corner and stopped in his tracks, his heart in his throat. Renji was stood with his face inches away from a blonde shinigami girl, his fingers playing with her hair; and even though it was dark Ichigo could see the blush creeping up the girls cheeks. A man was thrown out of the bar behind the pair disturbing them. Ichigo span around and stormed back through the centre of Seretei. He could feel the hot rage bubbling up inside of him; he clenched his fists until it hurt and could feel his arms shaking. He couldn't really understand why he was so pissed off. Renji could do what he wanted, it wasn't as if they were in a proper relationship, or were they? Ichigo stormed passed bar after bar but froze as he heard Rangiku's laugh echoing out of the bar into the night air. He stepped into the bar and soon set eyes on his friend sat with her arm draped over a young shy looking shinigami.

"Ichigo!" Rangiku said delighted that her young friend had turned up. Hisagi Shuuhei was sat at the other side of the table, who greeted him with a clap to the shoulder.

"Kurosaki-san!" The female shinigami exclaimed a smile on her face. She was the girl shinigami that was in his team earlier. Ichigo couldn't remember her name.

"Oh it's … er .. you." Ichigo smiled feeling awkward, fortunately no one noticed he had forgotten her name and they got chatting about how the pair met this morning. The girl animatedly retold the story of the adjuchas from earlier that day, the story was a little far from the truth and was told as if Ichigo was a knight in shining armour. Ichigo rolled his eyes at Hisagi hinting that that's not how the story went. Hisagi was openly laughing and Rangiku was biting a chuckle back. The girl was oblivious.

"Kira!" Hisagi yelled as he saw his friend enter the bar and he got up to go over to him with Rangiku. Ichigo was suddenly left alone with the girl. He saw the flush creeping up her cheeks. She stood up and announced that she was going to the bathroom, Ichigo stood to let her past as she tripped, seemingly over her own feet landing against Ichigo's chest. Ichigo grabbed her waist to stop her from falling. Both the pair froze, their closeness becoming quite apparent. Her head tilted back as her lips crept towards Ichigo. Ichigo's first thought was of Renji, which made him angry. He decided he was furious at Renji so he was going to get his pay back. He pushed his head down so his lips met the girls, whose name he still couldn't remember.

"Ahem." He flinched as he suddenly heard a male voice clear their throat directly behind Ichigo. He instantly knew who it was. He slowly turned his head to see a heavily muscled tattooed redhead with the darkest expression Ichigo had ever seen. It felt like an icy dagger had been plunged into Ichigo. He dropped the girl and stepped back quickly. The girl looked confusedly from Ichigo to Renji. Ichigo felt the fury building up inside of him and he snapped.

"What the hell are you looking at me like that for?!" Ichigo snapped pushing his way through the crowded bar, just as he got outside he felt Renji grab his arm but he yanked it away and spun to face him.

"What?!" Ichigo yelled, tears stinging his eyes.

"What the hell was all that about?! What am I to you?" Renji yelled back, just as angry.

" You're not one to lecture me! I saw you earlier!"

"What are talking about?!" Realisation dawned on Renji. His face suddenly morphed from rage to amusement as he began to laugh almost hysterically. Ichigo scowled at the man holding his chest, laughing.

"Baka! The girl you saw me with? Well she got caught in the middle of a bar fight and ran outside the bar crying as I was walking past. I stopped to see if she was alright!" He was still laughing.

"Sure, I always wrap my hands in girls' hair when I ask if they're ok." Ichigo snapped, refusing to believe he had jumped to conclusions.

"I was getting the glass out of her hair." He was still grinning. Ichigo looked at the floor. This made more sense. He touched Ichigo's chin, pulling up his face so that their eyes met.

"I'm still pissed off at you."
