CHAPTER 6: The Trouble with Gigais

"Then they'll…" Ishida felt sick.

"I can handle them," Ren said defiantly.

"Ichigo can barely handle one with help," Yorouichi folded her arms over her chest.

"How is Ichigo by the way?" Urahara had slipped through the door without a sound," Isshin's quite worried about him."

"He should be doing fine now, but I'll take another look at him," Ren subconsciously played with her hair as she thought about the look on Ichigo's face, how sad and upset he'd been when Ishida was in pain.

"Please do, his little sisters are about to freak out," Urahara rubbed his temples.

Ren patted Ishida's arm," I'll be back soon," she promised as she left. The door clicked shut behind her and she pushed her hair out of her eyes as she headed for Ichigo's room, in mid-thought she forgot to knock on the door.

Renji and Ichigo had slipped out of Ishida's room rather quietly so Renji could "check" Ichigo's injuries," Ichigo! Someone is bound to notice us gone!" Renji squirmed as Ichigo pulled him into his room and closed the door.

"This coming from someone who has sex in the bathroom at a stranger's house?" Ichigo whispered in Renji's ear feeling the other soul reaper's body twitch with excitement.

"Fuck you," Renji hissed.

"I'm on top today," Ichigo grabbed Renji's shirt and pushed him onto the bed. He unbuttoned his own shirt, revealing a well-toned chest covered in bandages and bruises.

"You're worse for wear, I can't let you do this while you're beat up like this," Renji sat up.

"Who said you had a choice?" Ichigo let his pants fall to the ground, he straddled Renji and grabbed his ponytail jerking his head back and exposing his throat. Renji stifled a moan as Ichigo licked a trail from his collarbone to the tip of his ear," That's more like it," Ichigo unbuttoned Renji's shirt and slid it off his shoulders, tracing the lines of his tattoos all the way down to his belt.

"Fine, just don't strain yourself," Renji leaned into Ichigo's kiss, sometimes he enjoyed kissing him more than having sex. Ichigo, however, wasn't wasting time as he gently pushed Renji onto the sheets. The two ground against each other, teasing their erections as their kisses became more passionate. Renji broke their kiss and propped up on his elbows, Ichigo wriggled out of his boxers and was kind enough to free Renji of his as well. Ichigo knelt over Renji's chest and groaned as he felt soft lips envelop his cock, he took Renji's hair down and ran his fingers through it. Ichigo thrust gently as his dick grew with the pleasure; the other soul reaper's mouth was warm and inviting, Ichigo looked down and felt himself twitch as he watched Renji work his magic. He hissed in a breath as he pulled out of his lover's mouth who reclined on the sheets waiting for Ichigo's next move.

Renji stroked himself as he felt himself stretch to accommodate the throbbing member being inched inside him, he choked back a growl as Ichigo hit his G-spot. Ichigo met his gaze," You okay?" he always asked before continuing, sometimes Renji wished he was more forceful but was happy for the tenderness on occasion. He nodded and continued massaging his own erection, Ichigo began pulling out. Before filling him again, he licked the precum off of the tip of Renji's penis. Renji couldn't hold his moan back this time as Ichigo gripped his hips and began moving.

"Reenjiii…" Ichigo bit softly on his ear and started breathing heavily, Renji decided to make him finish early as not to strain his body too much. He put a finger in Ichigo's mouth.

Ichigo's muscles were so tired, but Renji felt too good to stop. He pounded harder and knew he'd come soon, he moved his head away from Renji's intruding finger and bit his neck instead. Renji's body stiffened and Ichigo felt his cock twitch again, he pulled out and pressed the underside of his dick on Renji's; taking both in his hand he began jerking them off until he saw Renji's face turn as red as his hair. Both men came and Ichigo collapsed into Renji's arms.

"We'd better clean up fast," Renji breathed into Ichigo's ear. He picked up the other soul reaper and carried him to the bathroom, showering him with kisses on the way.

Ren opened the door and heard water running," Ichigo?" she called.

"Just cleaning up," Ichigo shouted back," I didn't want to bother you."

"You shouldn't be moving around so much on your own yet," Ren got closer to the door.

"I'm helping him," Renji cracked the door open," I figured he'd be less embarrassed if another guy was here."

"I see, you can take off those bandages and let him soak a bit in the tub," Ren motioned to a button on the wall," push this when he gets out and I'll put fresh bindings on him."

"Okay," Renji shut the door and giggled.

"Close call," Ichigo said as he tossed the used gauze into the trash.

"Too close," Renji agreed as he let his towel fall," but we won't be disturbed now," he climbed in the tub and settled behind his friend, Ichigo lay his head on Renji's chest and snuggled beneath his chin.

Isshin met Ren in the hallway on her way back to Ishida's room," Ren," he grabbed her arm and began leading her back in the direction he came from,' something's wrong,' obvious fear wrought on his face, Ren stumbled behind him and felt the glue holding her leg together give slightly.

Renji dried Ichigo off with a towel, carefully avoiding the stitches, he was amazed that the other soul reaper wasn't in pain,' Ren must be good,' he thought to himself. Ichigo stood and began walking towards the bathroom door, still somewhat wet," Ichigo," Renji called putting a hand on his shoulder," Ren-san said that when you got out she'd…" Renji's sentence was cut short as Ichigo turned and backhanded him," Ichigo?" Renji's face stung, Ichigo turned and aimed a kick at his chest," Kurosaki?! What the fuck?!" Renji barely blocked his leg before another fist crashed into his stomach, he crumpled a bit trying to catch his breath.

Ichigo grabbed Renji's hair and pulled him out of the room, he smashed his head on the wall and began furiously attacking him. Renji blocked as many as he could, then Ichigo suddenly stopped and turned around; a shocked expression came over Renji's face as Ichigo picked up Zangetsu and unsheathed it, his face was void of any emotion at all as he fingered the tip of the blade. Renji reached above him and hit the panic button Ren had told him to use to page her. He hoped she'd come quickly.

Isshin kicked the door open and Ren gasped as she saw Renji trying to defend himself with random furniture that was now strewn across the room. There was blood everywhere, soaking the bed sheets and splattering the walls, Ichigo's stitches had been ripped loose and blood ran down his bare form," Isshin go get Kisuke, hurry!" Ren pushed Isshin behind her and looked around frantically for a syringe of sedatives, Renji screamed as Zangetsu bit into his side and ripped a line across his chest. Ichigo took advantage of this weakness and pinned Renji to the ground with his foot, he raised his sword Ren lunged at him and grabbed Zangetsu's handle. She tried to wrestle the blade out of Kurosaki's hands but his grip was amazingly strong despite the blood gushing from where his stitches had been ripped through, he put all his weight on the hilt trying to drive the blade into Renji's chest. Renji pushed off the wall trying to escape, he felt Zangetsu scrape his neck and struggled to get to his knees.

Urahara burst through the door, syringe in hand," Hold him!" Ren threw herself backwards onto the bed, taking Ichigo with her. His back landed on her chest as she put an arm over his neck, she locked herself in place and wrapped her legs around his waist. Kisuke pinned his legs and aimed for a bicep, he missed and the needle stuck in the sheets; he cursed and tried again, this time hitting Ichigo's thigh. Ichigo struggled violently, when Urahara pulled back Ren let him go. Ichigo's sword clattered to the floor and he staggered for a moment. He put his hand on a wall as if to steady himself, Urahara put his arms out to catch him if he fell, but he didn't fall. Instead he turned and glared at Ren, he dove towards her and pinned her on the blood-soaked sheets. His hands closed around her throat, Ren saw Kisuke trying to pry him off her as her vision swam. Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, Ichigo appeared to wake up. He let go of Ren and looked at his hands in shock, then looked at his chest and all around him, he seemed to yelp as the pain finally hit him and collapsed in a dead faint.

Ren sat up and coughed, gasping for air. The room was silent, save Renji's labored breathing and groans. Ren and Urahara picked up Ichigo and Renji, Isshin wheeled in gurneys. She was running on barely any sleep and knew it was catching up to her as she ran down the hallway pushing Ichigo towards the OR.
