Warning: Lemon

Chapter 7: Love

Yumichika cuddled into Ikkaku's chest letting his breath ghost over the tan skin. Ikkaku suppressed a groan it was getting harder and harder to resist Yumichika who had been trying to seduce him everyday for the last week. He felt Yumichika's hand curl on his shirt and when he opened his eyes he couldn't help but smile at the peaceful expression on the gorgeous face. He sighed he'd been a fool for ever thinking that letting Yumichika go would be easy and he was sorry, so very sorry, that any of that had even happened. He felt Yumichika nuzzle his chest and smiled as he tightened his hold on Yumichika's waist.

"You're too fucking adorable Yumi..." Ikkaku grumbled as a small smile played on Yumichika's sleeping face. He sighed and watched Yumichika sleep for a while before the sleeping beauty opened his eyes and looked at Ikkaku in slight surprise. It'd become extremely rare for him to wake up in Ikkaku's arms but for the last week it had been happening, but it was still shocking, as the shock began to fade he smiled Ikkaku was still there.

"Thank ya Yumi." Ikkaku whispered kissing Yumichika's forehead. Yumichika's eyebrows furrowed in confusion Ikkaku had been thanking him every morning and night yet he didn't know why, but he wanted to know, he needed to know. He sighed he knew he wouldn't get an answer until Ikkaku was ready to tell him. Well he had gotten on answer but he didn't really know what Ikkaku meant 'Thanks for everything Yumichika, for more things then ya'll probably think worth thanking ya for.'

"Good morning Kaku. Did you sleep well?" Yumichika asked sleepily.

"Yeah what about ya pretty boy?" Yumichika smiled softly he'd been sleeping perfectly for a while now, it was amazing how easily sleep came to him when Ikkaku was next to him.

"Perfect." Yumichika said with a soft sigh as he stretched hearing his back pop. Ikkaku smiled as Yumichika got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower. He would have to go to Captain Kuchiki and find out everything that had happened for the last year but he wasn't sure he was ready to face that demon anytime soon. When Yumichika came out almost on hour later Ikkaku couldn't help but laugh his Yumichika was slowly coming back.

"What's so funny Kaku?" Yumichika asked with a pout. Ikkaku couldn't help but grin.

"Nothing Yumi... Nothing at all." Ikkaku chuckled as Yumichika continued to pout and started to get dressed. Ikkaku stood behind him and kissed the top of his head lovingly running his fingers through Yumichika's hair. He headed to the bathroom after kissing Yumichika. As he stood under the warm water he couldn't help but wonder if he should do something to make up for all the holidays that he'd missed in the last year anniversary, Valentines, Christmas, New Years, etc. He sighed he wanted nothing more then to demonstrate his love for Yumichika in anyway possible. He smiled he had a few ideas. Yumichika sat on the bed waiting for Ikkaku to get ready for once he was ready before Ikkaku although he did take an hour in the shower. As Ikkaku got out of the bathroom and went over to where Yumichika sat he smiled.

"Yumi ya know what we should do?" Ikkaku asked when Yumichika shook his head he continued.

"Lets go visit Kuchiki-Taicho and Renji." Ikkaku said and watched Yumichika smile brightly.

"I love that idea! I bet they'll be glad to see us." Yumichika stated as he got up and headed to the door. They would set out as soon as possible even though Ikkaku doubted they'd be back to Rukongai anytime soon.

Sixth Division Head Quarters

Renji sighed, again, he hated paper work and it was very difficult to concentrate on such a stupid thing when the hottest man alive was sitting right in front of him. He let out a growl ready to beg Byakuya for on early lunch break or tea break or some type of break. Byakuya smiled lovingly as he watched his lover struggle to do his work, again. He himself had been distracted lately they hadn't heard any news on Yumichika or Ikkaku all they could do was hope for the best. He got up and walked towards the window. Renji watched him with an amused smile as he got up and moved to Byakuya's side wrapping his arms around Byakuya's waist.

"What's wrong Renji?" Byakuya asked as he laid his hand over Renji's. Renji sighed he knew that Byakuya was just as worried about Yumichika and Ikkaku, well more likely just Yumichika, but still it was so hard to go on with their daily routines as if things were perfectly normal.

"Nothing just worried about those two idiots." Renji mumbled as he sucked on Byakuya's ear lobe. Byakuya moaned quietly enjoying the touch a bit too much for his liking. He smiled knowing that only Renji could make him feel like this, as if he'd done nothing wrong, that he was the center of attention, that he was perfect, and that nothing could go wrong. He sighed and turned in the circle of Renji's arms. He gave Renji one of his rare smiles and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"You know they'll be fine and you know that you have to do your paperwork Abarai- Fukutaicho." Byakuya stated calmly earning a glare from Renji. Renji returned to his desk annoyed. Byakuya sat back down and attempted to work but he couldn't even read the first sentence without getting distracted by Renji's constant sighing. He smiled feeling a familiar spiritual pressure coming towards them.

"Renji." Byakuya said quietly which instantly caught Renji's attention.

"What is it Byakuya?" Renji asked curious about what could cause his lover and captain to stop working so suddenly.

"Yumichika and Ikkaku are coming this way..." Byakuya spoke as if it were nothing important but Renji knew better. They both got up and headed for the gardens. There they would wait for Yumichika and Ikkaku.

Yumichika and Ikkaku

Ikkaku was annoyed, almost pissed off, Yumichika refused to walk beside him. It had become a habit that Yumichika walk behind him like a woman or someone of lower rank.

"They're waiting for us already." Yumichika whispered. Ikkaku turned to look at Yumichika wondering who he was talking about then he realized he most likely meant Kuchiki-Taicho and Renji. He smiled glad that Yumichika had people that cared about him.

"Renji and Byakuya really love ya." Ikkaku mumbled. Glad for Yumichika, he couldn't help but smile at Yumichika's excitement something that he'd missed. Yumichika was excited for once not pretending to be so that Ikkaku would be happy.

"I'm happy Ikkaku. I finally found other people that see the real me. That don't try to make me something I'm not, something that I could never be." Yumichika whispered. Ikkaku felt a slight pang of guilt he knew the real Yumichika yet he hadn't noticed the changes, the pain, the loneliness in his eyes. He had known Yumichika forever or what felt like forever yet it took finding out that he'd been beating Yumichika while drunk, that Yumichika was taking anti-depressants, and that he was suicidal to bring some light into his world. He frowned wondering what Emiko would think if she knew what was happening between them. Better question what would the demon that was Hotaru do to him.

"Yumi do ya ever wonder what happened to Emiko and Hotaru?" Ikkaku asked wondering not for the first time what had happened to their old teachers. The first people that they became friends with.

"All the time Ikkaku I heard Emiko finally took the throne as the head of the Tomari clan. Poor Hotaru most have been furious. I mean they were hopelessly in love with each other in Rukongai, at least there gays and lesbians aren't rejected like they sometimes are here, and now they're in the same boat that Renji and Byakuya were or still are in. The clan rejecting the relationship because of lack of on heir, is the main problem, if not as long as they're equal in military rank or power the clan elders usually mind their own business." Ikkaku nodded he knew that Emiko would do anything for Hotaru it wouldn't surprise him if she busted a few heads to get her way. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Can ya imagine Hotaru's temper if the elders of Emiko's clan tried breaking them up after the hell they went through to be together. All hell would break loss." Ikkaku stated with a chuckle Hotaru had trained him to use Hozukimaru she was one of the only women he looked up to as a superior of sorts she was strong and confident, but had a vicious temper that could be lit by anyone at anytime, well anyone but Emiko, and then there was the mysterious Emiko she was Yumichika's teacher and he was willing to bet anything she gave him the idea of how to hide Ruri'iro Kujaku from him. If not she taught him how to she was a master at kido and hand to hand combat.

"That's true Hotaru's always been very protective of Emiko I don't know why Emiko's as tough as a nail when she needs to be... but..." Yumichika stopped remembering Emiko's crying face when she thought Hotaru had died. All those years ago when Hotaru had picked a fight that she couldn't win. He shook his head the sight of those chocolate brown eyes and usually cheerful face tear stained and frightened would always haunt him.

"But what Yumi?" Ikkaku asked concerned.

"But Emiko hates killing with a deep passion and if I were honest I do too, sure I do enjoy fighting, but I hate having to kill. I always think what if they have a family or someone waiting for them to come home, of course, that doesn't apply to hollows unless they're arrancars then I still have conflicting feelings about it. On top of that I hate thinking of how I might lose you to a battle... It hurts Ikkaku because every time someone almost beats you I think of when you asked Kenpachi to kill you and Gods Ikkaku it hurts me to the very depths of my soul." Yumichika whispered the joy was gone as they both remembered how that ended up. Ikkaku grabbed Yumichika's hand he didn't care that they were in the middle of a street as he kissed Yumichika's hand softly.

"It wont happen again Yumi ya know that! I promised ya that I'd never go down without a fight again..." Yumichika shook his head in disappointment.

"You already broke that promise too Ikkaku, twice, in the recent years. Once with Ichigo you were alone and you didn't use your bankai! What if he hadn't patched you up I would've lost you Ikkaku. If Ichigo were anyone else he would have left you there to bleed to death! What would I have done than Ikkaku... The second time was during the winter war again you refused to use your bankai and you got hurt what if you'd died Ikkaku. When the pillar fell I was so terrified that you were dead nothing mattered but getting to you. When Hisagi got in my way I wanted to kill him I didn't care who it was whether it was friend or foe in my way, but I was useless I was knocked out by Kira... my last thought was that I'd wake up alone... That the first news I'd get were that you had died." Yumichika whispered hoarsely. Ikkaku pulled him into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry for that Yumi." He grabbed Yumichika's hand and began walking towards the sixth division.

"What about Suki and Hikari I haven't seen either one of them for a while?" Yumichika asked after his blush had disappeared and trusted his voice to not break in the middle of a sentence.

"Ya know how they are they come and go... Being a pain in the ass all the time." Ikkaku grumbled why were all the women in his life a pain in the ass although they were almost always right. They continued to walk in perfect harmony and all the way he never once let go of the soft hand in his. He wasn't going to hide his love for Yumichika any more. He was done hurting Yumichika he'd vowed to change and he would. Yumichika smiled happily for the rest of the walk to the gardens in the Sixth Squad, his hand fit perfectly in Ikkaku's.

As they got to the garden they found Byakuya and Renji waiting for them. Renji was holding Byakuya's hand and smiled when he saw Ikkaku leading Yumichika holding his hand. It was a tender sight, it was different from the normal way Ikkaku and Yumichika walked when people might see them together. Byakuya watched as Ikkaku and Yumichika sat down in front of them. They talked for a while about almost anything and eventually left for the manor. Ikkaku wanted to do something special for Yumichika but wasn't sure who to ask for ideas Rangiku was out of the question and almost everyone he could think of so he had asked Renji who had told him to go talk to Shunsui. That made him feel stupid since he knew Shunsui and Ukitake had been lovers for a long time. Hell he hoped he and Yumichika could be together that long. Yumichika was lead away by Byakuya to talk which had apparently become common for them in the last year.

"Guess we're gonna go see Shunsui 'bout yer issues with Yumi." Renji stated as he turned to look as his old friend and former teacher. Ikkaku nodded as they left in silence.

Byakuya and Yumichika

Yumichika smiled at his older brother when he asked how Ikkaku had treated him in the last week Yumichika didn't have any complaints. Byakuya, however, seemed distracted by something.

"What's wrong Kuchiki-Taicho?" Yumichika asked as Byakuya finally returned his attention to Yumichika.

"What do you know about the Tomari clan?" Byakuya asked slowly as if he didn't want anything to do with what was going on. Yumichika was slightly surprised by the question.

"It's one of the Great Four Noble Clans, it usually has a female head and they're famous for their use of kido, and water based zanpaktou's. The current head is on old friend of mine, my teacher from Rukongai, Emiko Tomari. Her zanpaktou is Yami no Umi or Wave of Darkness it allows her to heal almost any injury on herself, as well as her friends, and turn any water into a weapon. She's good at hand to hand combat although her lover is better at it than her, but she has a deep hatred for killing. She has a female lover, which was a problem a few years ago, her name is Hotaru and her zanpaktou is Amaterasu or Shining over heaven it's a fire based zanpaktou that burns anything that Hotaru concentrates on or swings at with her blade. It's almost like the Sotaichos except the fire is blackish blue. They're both very strong, kind, intelligent women who have suffered greatly and struggled to be together. I never got to see their bankais so I can't tell you anything about them." Yumichika stopped knowing that if he kept going he might say something he shouldn't. His worries disappeared when he heard the soft laughter that could only belong to Emiko he turned and smiled softly his sight blurry from tears of joy.

"Emiko!" Yumichika exclaimed and hugged the smaller woman. He was shocked to see her again when they had all said their goodbyes in Rukongai Hotaru had said it would probably be the last time they'd see each other but here he was with Little Emiko. He almost laughed if Emiko heard the nickname Ikkaku had given her she'd be mad. She was very small and delicate she was only 5'0. She was as light as a feather which had given Ikkaku the idea of calling her Little Emiko even though Emiko had been furious when she found out.

"Hello Yumi-chan you cut your hair! I liked it better long, but I'm guessing that ungrateful idiot that's Ikkaku told you to cut it..." Emiko mumbled over the years they'd known each other she started telling him things as she saw them instead of what was expected of her as the head of a clan.

"Did I do the right thing by trusting her Yumichika?" Byakuya asked his defenses weren't up like they usually were. Yumichika smiled at him.

"I never thought I'd see her again! She was like my older sister she taught me kido, well the basic, and how to use my shikai and how to hide it... She's the reason I survived that plague in Rukongai and she played matchmaker between Ikkaku and me!" Yumichika whispered as Emiko sat down to Byakuya's right.

"Hold on if you're here then..." Yumichika didn't finish his sentence Emiko was smiling a small mischievous smile that he had come to hate in a very short time. The first time he saw it Ikkaku had ended up in pain, a lot of pain.

"Hotaru is gonna pay Ikkaku a visit." Emiko stated drinking the tea that had just been placed in front of her by a servant. Yumichika almost winced if he knew anything about Hotaru it was her love for a good fight, much like Ikkaku, and her defensive nature towards anyone she cared about. Byakuya's small smirk didn't calm Yumichika down. Both nobles looked like cats playing with a mouse.

"You should be glad that I didn't let either Hikari or Suki help Hotaru that would have been too cruel even for my tastes. I've heard what happened between Ikkaku and you. I felt the need to come see you, both of you, but by the time Byakuya and I met up you were in Rukongai." Emiko mumbled and docked as a knife flew at her head. She sighed as Hikari and Suki came in.

"I hate you." Hikari stated in typical Hikari style she was annoyed they all had a bone to pick with Ikkaku right now yet Emiko was as calm as she was infamous for being even in battle.

"Hate me if it makes you feel good, I'm not the one ruining my soul by doing so, and besides I want to be out there as much as anyone else we all want Ikkaku to learn a valuable lesson." Emiko stated in a perfect monotone voice. Byakuya watched her when he had first met Emiko she had been a lot like Yoruichi except a lot more annoying, but now she was a perfect noble, no, she was acting the role she'd been raise to fill-in since before he'd been born. Rumor had it that Emiko had been trained by Ukitake and later Yamamoto Sotaicho to fill in as the next Sotaicho when he died or was killed.

"What are you three going to do to my Kaku?" Yumichika asked becoming more worried by the second. The three women in the room smiled softly they just wanted Ikkaku to stop being a dumb-ass no matter what the price was they were going to teach Ikkaku a valuable lesson.

"Wait Yumichika we still have one more guest coming." Byakuya spoke up over Hikari's growls and Emiko's taunts, more like smart ass replies since she didn't taunt, that only helped to fuel Hikari's rage. As the door to the gathering room was opened and Captain Ukitake came in Yumichika sat there confused. His confusion grew when Hikari, Suki, and Emiko bowed their heads in respect.

"It's been a long time sensei." Emiko said as she smiled. They all began to try to catch up in their respected absences. Yumichika felt glad to be among these people they were so much like him and he loved each one of them uniquely. Emiko had been his teacher and was like a sister, Suki and Hikari were his best friends other then Ikkaku, Byakuya was his Captain and idol, as well as, his brother, and well who didn't love Ukitake–Taicho he was the person you could go to for anything and everything.

Ikkaku and Renji

Ikkaku had a horrible feeling that everything was going to go wrong soon, but he choose to ignore it and kept walking towards Squad Eight's barracks. Ikkaku groaned explaining what had happened wasn't going to be fun. As they were lead to the captain's room and ushered in. They said their greetings and waited for some tea.

"What brings you guys to visit an old man like me?" Shunsui asked with his cheerful smile. Ikkaku's expression fell.

"I- I need some help..." Ikkaku wondered if this had been a good idea.

"With what?" Shunsui asked as Ikkaku looked more uncomfortable by the minute.

"It's probably better if you knew the whole story." Renji cut in. Shunsui nodded for them to continue, even though he knew why they were here Ukitake had told him everything after Hotaru had come by to talk with them. Ikkaku sighed he'd known he'd have to say something.

"Yumichika and I have been lovers since our days in Rukongai. He has been my only family for a hell of a long time and I love him beyond words." Ikkaku whispered he needed to say that before anything else was said.

"A few years ago I found out Yumi had been lying to me, more like keeping a secret, and I... I acted horribly and pushed Yumichika away it took seeing him hurt and so close to breaking down mentally and emotionally for me to realize what he meant to me." Ikkaku sighed he knew that he should have learned his lesson at that point. Yumichika hadn't thought twice about giving him a second chance he had thought that they were happy. He hadn't seen the sorrow in Yumichika's eyes.

"A year ago our captain found out about Yumichika's zanpaktou and well he was pissed off and told me to leave. I followed his orders and left. I didn't come until two days had gone by when I came back Yumichika was in the hospital... He tried to kill himself after he was kicked out of the Zaraki squad when I didn't come back to him he thought I'd left him and didn't see a reason to keep living." Ikkaku stopped he's voice had started to crack as he was flooded with memorizes. Shunsui nodded on encouragement for Ikkaku to continue when he didn't but that didn't help any. Ikkaku cleared his throat.

"Ikkaku why are you here though?" Shunsui asked still unsure where he could help.

"Yumi and I broke up... We both wanted what was best for the other but it didn't work out very well... I found out that I.. that I've been hitting him when I'm drunk." Ikkaku admitted softly he still didn't understand why everything had gone so wrong.

"In the past I've insulted Yumichika and I have hurt him physically and emotionally. I always thought if I hurt him Yumichika would stop me, that he would never let me do something to him that he didn't want, but I was wrong. Damn it! Ya have no idea what I wouldn't give to change that... I hate myself every time he tells me how much I mean to him or that he loves me all I can think of is how could ya love someone like me after everything I've done to ya. I've always known Yumichika deserves better than me but I've never shown him that. I've never been a good lover to him." Ikkaku whispered as he stared at his hands he didn't want to see the look on Renji's or Shunsui's face.

"Sometimes I wish that I had never met Yumichika maybe then I wouldn't have hurt him... I came here 'cause Renji thought ya might have some advice on how I could fix things with Yumichika or at least make everything better for him. That's all I really want to make sure Yumichika's happy." Ikkaku continued in a voice that was to quiet to be his.

"That isn't all that happened is it?" Shunsui asked as he watched Renji and Ikkaku closely he wasn't sure if he should help Ikkaku from the looks of it all the things that he had mentioned had been happening over and over and over again so why should he help Ikkaku give Yumichika hope if it was only going to be crushed in the end. He doubted that Yumichika could coop with that much emotional stress. He doubted he himself could deal with Emiko if something happened to one of her students.

"I... I cheated on him... I don't know what the hell came over me and I regret it deeply. Yumi is so beautiful, so precious, and he deserves so much better then me and I know that! I ain't stupid Yumi's more beautiful then most women... I don't deserve him and if I'm gonna lose him I might as well try to make this special in anyway I can. Just to let him remember what we had was a good thing not something ta be ashamed off... not something that he should regret." Ikkaku whispered a deep sorrow was obvious in his voice.

"I have a question knowing that you've done all of those things why do you want to fight for him? I mean if you've hurt him so much already do you really want to hurt him again?" Shunsui asked a long silence fell with two curious faces waiting for on answer the one they received didn't surprise them.

"I want to fight for him... 'cause I love him. I know it's taken too long for me to realize just how much I love him but now that I see it I don't want to lose him. I don't wanna see him sad again! I want him to smile and laugh. I don't ever wanna see a single tear in those beautiful eyes not 'cause of me or anyone." Ikkaku whispered Shunsui nodded he had only one piece of advice for him.

"Talk to him, show him how much he means to you, and avoid hurting him again." Shunsui said calmly. Ikkaku stared at him he wanted more then that but something was something. He turned to Renji who gave him on encouraging smile.

One hour later

Yumichika paced back and forth he was worried about Ikkaku. He hadn't come back yet and it was troubling especially knowing that Hotaru was following him. He shuddered and watched as Emiko laughed softly. He was surprised to see long dirty blonde hair falling across her chest and hazel eyes watching him closely as Hotaru rested her head on Emiko's shoulder. She whispered something into Emiko's ear which caused a soft smile to appear on the tan face.

"So there is no need to torture, poison, or make Ikkaku mysteriously disappear?" Emiko asked when Hotaru nodded Yumichika exhaled the breath he didn't realize he was holding. Byakuya watched with cold calculating eyes what was going on before him. He watched as Yumichika talked cheerfully with both of his former teachers. He almost smiled at the sight when he saw Ukitake watching him closely he could tell that his former teacher was happy to be there.

As the chatting slowed down and they all headed off to bed. Yumichika was slightly worried about Ikkaku not returning but he remembered Ikkaku had a home to go to and had probably gone there instead of returning to the Kuchiki Manor where he'd be staying for the night. He smiled sadly. 'Why did I think it'd be different now? Of course he wouldn't stay with me! Why am I so stupid at times?' Yumichika thought weakly as he dressed and crawled under the covers of his king size bed, in the suite that had been given to him by Byakuya. He didn't want to wonder where Ikkaku was right now. He eventually drifted into a troubled sleep.

Ikkaku had stayed at a small garden with Renji to talk and think about what he'd do when he went to see Yumichika. He realized after a while that Yumichika had fallen asleep, troubled sleep, but sleep none the less. He smiled softly knowing that Yumichika wanted to wait up for him. 'He probably doesn't think I'll stay with him now that we're back in Sereitei.' Ikkaku thought sadly.

"I don't know what to do." He said with a heavy heart. He watched Renji sitting next to him with a thoughtful look.

"You once told me that if I made love to Byakuya he'd eventually fall in love with me or that he'd started showing more affection, why not try that?" Renji asked. Ikkaku smiled at the thought he knew Yumichika would be happy with the smallest show of affection but he wasn't sure if that was a good idea Yumichika would probably think he was being used.

"Why is this so fucking hard?" Ikkaku growled wondering why he was having so much trouble he usually acted without thinking.

"Byakuya once told me Friend's will keep you sane, love could fill your heart, a love can warm your bed, but lonely is the heart without a mate. It's by David Pratt. Maybe that's why it's so hard for you to let him go or to find a good way to make things right. He's not some random person ya wanna sleep with, he's someone very dear to ya, and ya don't want ta hurt him or lose him." Renji mumbled. Ikkaku had to grin at that.

"Maybe we should head back though I'm pretty sure that Byakuya is wanting to know what's keeping ya." Renji nodded, they first went to Ikkaku's apartment so that he could get some clothes and other things, and then they headed towards the Kuchiki Manor.

Ikkaku entered Yumichika's room without having to ask where it was he could always tell where Yumichika was at all times. He smiled at Yumichika's beautiful face lite by the soft moonlight that came in through the window. He quickly changed into a sleeping yukata.

"Beautiful." He whispered as he settled down next to Yumichika's sleeping form and gently caressed one soft cheek and smiled. He pulled Yumichika into a tight embrace as he started to plant soft kisses on Yumichika's face until beautiful lavender eyes opened to watch him sleepily.

"Ikkaku what are you doing?" Yumichika mumbled a light blush was apparent on his pale cheeks as Ikkaku continued to kiss him, gently he headed for Yumichika's neck sucking on the juncture between his shoulder and neck. Glad that Yumichika's sleeping yukata had moved to reveal one pale shoulder. He smiled as Yumichika moaned softly.

"I'm gonna show ya how much ya mean ta me." Ikkaku whispered. Yumichika smiled as he kissed Ikkaku softly when Ikkaku sucked on his lower lip he opened his mouth instantly and let Ikkaku's tongue battle for dominance with his own. He eventually lost and felt Ikkaku's tongue press gently on his own making Yumichika moan. They continued to kiss heatedly for a while wanting the moment to last forever. As they pulled apart for air Yumichika smiled.

"I love you Ikkaku." Yumichika whispered as he nibbled on Ikkaku's ear lobe. Ikkaku groaned loving the feel of Yumichika's body pressed flushed against his own. He settled on top of Yumichika's frame with one leg between Yumichika's who started to grind against him as they shared several heated kisses before Ikkaku kissed down Yumichika's neck and kissed him lightly behind the ear before moving further down. He kissed and sucked and bit at Yumichika's neck and shoulders wanting to taste every bit of delicious skin available. It'd been too long. He loved the whimpers that escaped Yumichika's soft lips. He grinned as he undid Yumichika's obi pulling the yukata and everything else off. He sucked on his right nipple and bit down on it gently before changing to the other one while twisting the right one between his fingers. He groaned softly when he felt Yumichika's nails dig into his clothed shoulders.

Yumichika moaned, whimpered, and begged for more at each of Ikkaku's ministrations. He smiled at Yumichika's flushed face before moving down between Yumichika's legs he kissed Yumichika's inner thighs before grabbing Yumichika's hard cock and running his thumb over the slit. Yumichika moaned opening his eyes to watch Ikkaku as he took his cock into his mouth. Ikkaku held Yumichika's hips down as he suck on the head before pulling back to lick the precum off the slit and blowing cold air onto it. He curled his toes and tried to buck into that hot mouth and the fingers scissoring him. Ikkaku took his sweet time teasing Yumichika slowly taking in inch after inch of the throbbing flesh into his hot mouth, licking and sucking along the way. He grin, he could feel that Yumichika was close, but before Yumichika could find his release Ikkaku stopped and kissed him softly.

"This is gonna be special Yumi." Yumichika smiled softly as Ikkaku caressed his cheek. It was a moment that Ikkaku would always cherish. He watched as Yumichika reached towards his nightstand opening the drawer and pulling out a small bottle of lube. Yumichika spread his legs apart as Ikkaku gently pressed one lubricated finger into his tight entrance. He was surprised at how tight Yumichika had become over one year. When Yumichika started moving against the first digit he started sucking on Yumichika's hard length trying to distract him as he pressed the second finger in and began a scissoring motion. Yumichika winced but eventually started moving in time with the thrusts. Soft moans filled the air as Yumichika started writhing in pleasure as Ikkaku inserted a third digit he heard Yumichika moan in a mixture of pleasure and pain. He continued to stretch Yumichika switching between hitting Yumichika's prostrate head on and completely avoiding it. When he was sure that Yumichika was ready he removed his fingers earning a disapproving whimper from Yumichika.

"Yumi what do ya want?" Ikkaku asked huskily as he undressed.

"I want you to make love to me Ikkaku..." Yumichika whispered softly. Ikkaku nodded as he pulled Yumichika up and claimed his lips in a slow passionate kiss. When Ikkaku simply continued kissing him. Yumichika, thinking he would lose his mind if Ikkaku didn't take him soon, moaned in protest against the possessive lips on his. When Ikkaku's sword calloused hand skimmed down his torso, Yumichika shivered. Ikkaku guided Yumichika's legs around him and Yumichika trembled with anticipation.

Yumichika was expecting to be taken swiftly like Ikkaku usually did, Yumichika's breath caught in his throat when Ikkaku's huge cock slid into him slowly. Ikkaku set a slow sensual pace. Yumichika moan as deep inside him his sweet spot was expertly tormented. Yumichika's breath was finally released in a loud moan. "Gods Ikkaku I missed this!"

Yumichika whined when Ikkaku withdraw completely, but was rewarded when Ikkaku rose up on his knees and pushed forward. The new angle allowed for even deeper penetration. Slowly and methodically Ikkaku moved on him until Yumichika thought he'd lost his mind. Ikkaku had never drawn so much pleasure from him not so effectively. It was perfection. Ikkaku started to pick up his pace making Yumichika moan with ecstasy as he thrust into Yumichika, Yumichika moved against him creating even more friction. Finally, with Yumichika's hands desperately trying to pull him closer Ikkaku laid down over him. With Yumichika clutching onto him as if his life depended on it he was able to hear Yumichika's moaned words.

"Please more Ikkaku... Deeper please..." Those words sent desire surging through him at being able to make Yumichika become so submissive. Ikkaku reached for Yumichika's neglected cock and began stroking him in time with his erratic thrusts. Together their moans and groans filled the air as their passion climbed even higher. Moments later Yumichika spiraled over the edge crying out Ikkaku's name as he cummed on both their stomachs Yumichika arched trying to get as close as possible. Yumichika's walls clenched around Ikkaku's swollen cock becoming incredibly tight. He slammed into Yumichika as he too came deep inside his love, with his lovers name upon his lips. He collapsed on Yumichika he was to far gone to realize that Yumichika had lost consciousness. When his breathing returned to normal he pulled out of Yumichika and laid next to him pulling Yumichika into a tight embrace.

"Yumi." He whispered softly as he kissed Yumichika's forehead slowly Yumichika's eyes fluttered open and turned to him with a questioning look.

"Ikkaku... please tell this wasn't a one night stand, that you aren't playing with my heart, that you did this because you love me." Yumichika whispered softly.

"I promise Yumi I will never hurt ya like that again. I was a fool and I didn't realize that I had everything I could possibly want right here in my arms." Ikkaku whispered holding Yumichika tightly. Yumichika cuddled into his chest. They slept in a tight embrace neither moving during the night.

"If we're right they're making there move soon. They want Yumichika dead in this dimension..." Emiko whispered sorrow laced her words. Hotaru held her tightly knowing that something horrible was going to happen soon.

Emiko sighed as she was released and they moved towards the eleventh division she had a horrible feeling that something had happened to Captain Zaraki, and she knew they were to late. She turned to Hotaru and they began to move in the shadows they needed to know if they were right and if they were it wouldn't be good. Hotaru grabbed her hand and held it gently, forcing them to stop, running her thumb over the back of her hand. She knew that Emiko was worried they all were. Eventually they continued to move silently. Moving towards a fight they wish they didn't have to fight.

Yumichika and Ikkaku awoke after their night together feeling perfect to them it seemed that everything was working out for the better. They shared a gentle kiss and showered and got ready to have breakfast with Byakuya and Renji. As soon as they entered the room they could feel the tense atmosphere, something had happened. Emiko and Hotaru weren't there. Yumichika sighed knowing they wouldn't be informed of anything for a while.

Several weeks went by and Yumichika began to feel sick on Byakuya's orders he went to the fourth to see Unohana the shock and fear that gripped Yumichika left him wide eyed and unable to respond. He sat down wondering what he'd do now. He and Ikkaku hadn't solved all there problems they hadn't said they were back on the terms they used to be in. So many question ran through his mind but mostly he wanted to know how it was possible that he was in this situation. Everything had been going perfectly with Ikkaku for a while now, but he wondered if this would ruin everything. 'No it wont he'll be happy...' Yumichika thought weakly.

Yumichika thanked Unohana and began to walk towards the training grounds of the eleventh division wondering what would happen when he got there. He didn't know if his heart could deal with another rejection. He sighed as he saw Ikkaku training alone it would be easier that way if he got rejected at least no one would be there to judge Ikkaku, no one would be there to see his sorrow. He gripped Ruri'iro Kujaku tightly for some reassurance as he walked towards Ikkaku. He watched Ikkaku look up at him with a happy grin that fell when he saw the fear and worry on Yumichika's face.

"What's wrong Yumichika?" Ikkaku asked instantly. Yumichika's right arm was wrapped protectively around his abdomen. Yumichika looked at him, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his pounding heart. 'He'll take it as good news!' A voice in his head said.

"Ikkaku I... I don't know how this happened... I wont blame you if you leave... and I wont hate you for it... I-I don't know how to say this Ikkaku," Yumichika raised his chin and looked him in the eye as he said the one thing Ikkaku never expected to hear, "...I'm pregnant."
