I may need to edit this since I had a little trouble with editing this document but I wanted to get this posted before Sousuke's birthday was over.
"My brother-in-law is a good man. A little eccentric perhaps, but he has never been unfaithful or abusive toward my sister," Sousuke explained.
"That's good. May I ask what he does for a living?" Momo asked.
"He's a doctor," Sousuke answered.
"Wow, his parents must be proud of him," Momo said.
"They are, though unfortunately it's not enough for our parents," Sousuke said sadly.
"What do you mean?" Momo asked.
"My brother-in-law is from a family from the working class. Unlike my sister and myself he had to work his way through college and medical school. My parents didn't approve of my sister going out with someone from a working class family. Of course there are those who would be willing to marry for money rather than love, but my brother-in-law is not like that," Sousuke explained.
"I see. I'm sorry to hear that your parents don't approve of the man your sister married. But if he loves her and works hard shouldn't they be happy for her?" Momo asked.
"You would think that. But my parents don't like the idea of someone that they see as being less worthy of respect being involved with any of their children," Sousuke explained.
"That's terrible! How can they be so ignorant as to think that just because they're rich that they can just treat people like that?" Momo asked.
"Sadly they aren't the only ones in our circle who think that way. Byakuya's parents are rather snobbish that way. As are Juushiro's parents," Sousuke explained.
"Well seeing how mean Mr. Kuchiki was earlier I can believe that, but Mr. Ukitake seemed so nice," Momo said.
"Indeed, Byakuya really is quite arrogant at times. I hope he wasn't too mean to you. May I ask what it was that he said?" Sousuke asked.
"Well, he did say some mean things, but he apologized to me after Mr. Kyoraku and Mr. Ukitake spoke to him about it," Momo explained.
"I see. I hope they didn't make too much of a scene. I would hate it if they caused you any embarrassment," Sousuke said.
"I don't really know what they said to him. I remembered that I needed to let my room-mate know that I wouldn't be coming home tonight so I had to step out and call him," Momo explained.
"I see. I would imagine that Juushiro and Shunsui probably said something about it. Despite his parents' elitist attitudes, Juushiro is a rather decent and kind man. And despite Shunsui's womanizing he wouldn't just stand by while a woman was insulted or harassed by anyone. Not even a long time friend like Byakuya. I would also imagine that Nanao probably said something to him as well," Sousuke said.
"Well she did when Mr. Kuchiki was saying all those mean things to me, but when I left to make my phone call she followed me," Momo explained.
"I see. Well I hope that Juushiro and Shunsui made you feel welcome," Sousuke said.
"Yes, sir, they did," Momo answered.
"That's good to hear. It's none of my business, but if either of them propositioned you for your services you may feel free to accept or decline. I would have a hard time believing that Juushiro would make such a proposition, but can definitely imagine that Shunsui would," Sousuke said.
"Thank you, sir. None of them propositioned me, sir," Momo said.
"Well even if they did you don't need to consult with me and you shouldn't feel obligated to do so either. While they are my friends you are still a free person and I won't hold it against you. Whatever choice you make regarding any propositions," Sousuke assured her.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said looking down at her hands..
"It's not a problem," Sousuke said watching the young woman.
Momo looked very nervous and a little apprehensive sitting there. She also looked a little like a scared child who had gotten in her mother's makeup and was playing dress-up.
'What was I thinking, hiring this young woman to do the things she has done tonight? She's still a child compared to me. She never should've been working in such a profession! A girl like her shouldn't be working as a prostitute, she deserves better,' Sousuke thought to himself as he watched her.
'What did Byakuya say to her while I was taking Isshin's phone call?'
Toushiro finished his work on Karin's computer and headed back out to the kitchen while it was restarting. There he found Karin waiting for him.
"Hey, Toushiro," Karin greeted.
"Ms. Kurosaki, your computer is currently restarting but it may take a while since there were a lot of threats found on your computer. It will also be updating which means it will take a lot longer," Toushiro explained.
"Hey, I told you not to call me that!" Karin growled.
"Alright, Karin, your computer is restarting and updating and because of all the threats that you allowed to infect your computer," Toushiro continued.
"I'm sorry about that. I know I should run virus scans more often, but I have a rather busy life so I sometimes forget," Karin said.
"It isn't that hard to do when you do remember that you need to run a scan. And the more often you do it the less time it will take to get rid of all the viruses and malware when it's done scanning," Toushiro said.
"True. But then she wouldn't be able to see you as often," Ichigo said walking back in.
"Hey! Don't you have something better to be doing?" Karin snapped at her brother.
"Not really," Ichigo said.
Karin let out a growl of frustration.
"If you are interested in asking Toushiro out I would suggest you do before mom or dad get home. Neither one of them are going to let you hear the end of it. Especially dad," Ichigo said to Karin before turning his attention to Toushiro.
"If you want to ask Karin out I would recommend you do so before our parents get home. My dad can be a bit of an idiot and I doubt Karin will accept if my dad is here to comment about it," Ichigo said to Toushiro before leaving the room and returning to his own.
Karin was fuming as she watched her brother leave.
"I don't suppose there is any truth in what he is saying. Is there, Karin?" Toushiro asked, choosing not to provoke her for the moment.
"Well, are you interested in going out with me sometime?" Karin asked.
"Only if you're asking," Toushiro said.
"Okay, I'm asking. Would you like to go out with me sometime?" Karin asked, still scowling.
"Well, long as it isn't in this weather, I think I would like that," Toushiro answered.
"Is that your way of saying yes?" Karin asked.
"Yes it is," Toushiro answered.
"Where do you have in mind?" Toushiro asked.
"There are a few restaurants around here if you can stay for breakfast tomorrow," Karin suggested.
"Wouldn't your father find out if we went out tomorrow?" Toushiro asked.
"Good point. Of course, I can simply tell him that I wanted to thank you for staying late to work on my laptop. Don't worry, you'll still be getting paid for all the work you did," Karin added the last part.
"Thank you. I suppose that could work. Momo probably won't be home so I won't have to worry about her giving me a hard time either," Toushiro answered.
"So I take it she is a lot like my idiot older brother than," Karin said.
"Maybe a little bit, except for the idiot part. She really is very smart, though she hasn't had a lot of luck with work, I'm sorry to say. She went to college for a few years until our foster-mother got sick," Toushiro said.
"That can't be easy for either of you," Karin said.
"No it isn't," Toushiro agreed.
Meanwhile, back at the penthouse, Momo and Sousuke were still in the living room talking.
"What about you, Mr. Aizen?" Momo asked.
"What do you mean, my dear girl?" Sousuke asked.
"Forgive me, Mr. Aizen! I shouldn't have asked such a question. Please forgive me," Momo said apologetically.
"There's no need to apologize, but please explain what you're referring to," Sousuke said, smiling reassuringly.
"Well, you said that your parents didn't approve of your brother-in-law. Have you ever been involved with someone that they didn't approve for any reason?" Momo asked a little nervously, still not sure whether or not she was over-stepping by asking him this.
"Oh, that. I suppose there have been a few in the past. No one I was ever serious about. I think they were more displeased by my involvement with prostitutes and occasional stripper. Truth is that it's been rather a long time since I was serious about anyone and it was always with someone from our own social class," Sousuke said.
"I see. So you've never had to worry about your parents driving away someone that you cared about," Momo said.
"No, I can't say that I have. As I said, every time I was serious about someone in the past it was from our social class," Sousuke said.
"Have you ever been married at any time?" Momo asked.
"No. Sadly I haven't had any luck with relationships. Of course it doesn't help that most of the women I've been involved with in the past were spoiled upper-class brats if I may say," Sousuke stated.
"Oh, I see," Momo said.
Momo was a good listener and Sousuke appreciated that about her. Even after the day she had and the evening she was having in part because of him she was still willing to listen.
"It's just as well I suppose. If I had married any of my past girlfriends it would've been a big mistake seeing as I can't imagine that it would ever last.
"I'm sorry to hear. It must be hard being alone. I don't have a boyfriend but I use to," Momo said.
"I would imagine a young woman as lovely as yourself would have had at least a few boyfriends over the years," Sousuke said making the girl blush deeply to which he smiled.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. I have had more than one, though never at the same time of course," Momo said hurriedly which caused Sousuke to chuckle a little.
"That's good to hear. I can't imagine that any man would want to share a woman as lovely as yourself with someone else. I know I wouldn't want to," Sousuke said.
Momo blushed deeply at the compliment.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable," Sousuke said.
"Oh, that's okay! I'm very flattered. It was very kind of you to say. Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said.
"Well, I meant it. You're a very lovely young woman. Any man would be lucky to have a woman like you," Sousuke said sincerely.
"Even so, thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said.
"You're quite welcome. I have to admit that I really enjoyed this evening thanks to you," Sousuke said.
"Do you really mean that, Mr. Aizen?" Momo asked a little surprised.
"Yes, I do," Sousuke replied kindly.
"I'm happy I was able to help. Though I have to admit that I'm surprised as we didn't spend that much time together this evening," Momo said. Just then her mind wandered back to when she and Nanao had arrived back in the dining area only to hear him talking with the other three men and overhear Byakuya saying some rather unkind things about her.
"Maybe so, but I have to admit that I haven't had as pleasant a time with any woman than I have with you," Sousuke said sincerely.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. That's very kind of you to say, Mr. Aizen, sir," Momo said blushing deeply at his words.
"I mean it and I hope you can have as pleasant a time if not even more so with a gentleman sometime in the near future on a date of course," Sousuke said.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. I would like that," Momo said sincerely.
"A beautiful young woman like you should have no trouble finding a young man who would want to go out with her," Sousuke said.
Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said.
Sousuke couldn't remember the last time he was with a young woman like her. Of course he normally went out with tall, leggy, busty model types.
'She's so sweet and innocent,' he thought to himself.
Sousuke smiled at the young woman.
"Mr. Aizen?" she said bringing him back to the present.
"Hmmm?" Sousuke replied.
"It's getting late. Maybe we should be going to bed soon. I remember you saying that you have to be at a breakfast in the morning," Momo said.
"Of course. Thank you for reminding me. Byakuya won't be pleased with me if we're late getting to breakfast," Sousuke said.
"I'm sorry to be rude, I just don't want you to be late for an important meeting or anything," Momo said apologetically.
"No it's alright. If we don't get to bed soon it will be difficult to get up in time to get ready we will be late," Sousuke agreed.
They got up and started heading toward his room.
Momo started to fidget a little.
She knew that they would be having sex again and she was dreading it.
"We don't need to have sex. I know that you must be a little anxious about that and we don't need to have sex if you don't want to," Sousuke told the young woman as they headed toward his room.
"It's alright. I need to get use to having sex with strangers anyway. Besides, Ms. Ise looked it up for me and she found out that sometimes bleeding will stop after a woman has sex the second time," Momo said.
Sousuke was a little surprised by this.
"So I take it you told her," Sousuke commented.
"Yes, I'm sorry I did, but I was worried because I didn't know if it was normal to bleed a lot after losing my virginity so I asked her if she knew and she looked it up for me," Momo said apologetically.
"It's quite alright. If you have any concerns about your health or well-being it's perfectly alright to ask someone about it," Sousuke said kindly.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo replied.
"Not at all," Sousuke replied as they entered his room.
Haribel had changed the sheets of the bed, but they were the same colors as the previous ones.
"Sir, would it be alright if I took a shower before we...continue with the evening?" Momo asked.
"Oh course," Sousuke said.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. I better take off these earrings and this necklace first. Can you help me with that?" Momo asked.
"Of course. Just wait here for a minute or two. I need to get the boxes they came in. I think I left them in the guest bedroom where you got dressed," Sousuke said before he left the room.
"Yes sir," Momo said taking a seat on the bed.
She fiddled with the purse before setting it aside on the bed. She then set it aside before she started examining the beading on the shawl. The beading on both items were beautiful. She took off the shawl and folded it up admiring the beading on it before setting it aside neatly on the bed. She started fingering the necklace and then the earrings. She dreaded what they were going to be doing after she was done with her shower, but even so she would go through with it. She needed to get through this. She hated herself for doing this but...
'If Toushiro and I are going to survive I need to get through this. At least until I find a new job and who knows when that will be?' Momo asked herself.
Sousuke went to the guest room and retrieved the jewelry boxes and returned to his room. As he entered he saw the young woman fingering the necklace that she was wearing. She wasn't wearing the shawl and her shoulders were bare and she looked quite lovely. Sousuke felt drawn to the young woman. She was nothing like any of the women he was accustomed to. She wasn't busty and was quite emaciated and didn't look anything like the typical fashion model types that one would see in a magazine or on the fashion runway, and yet there was something so pure about her. An innocence and sweetness that he never had the pleasure of tasting before this evening. As much as he didn't like the idea of a girl like her working in the sex trade a part of him wanted her to continue so that he could retain her services. Exclusively if possible. For some reason this was one young woman that he didn't want to share. Sousuke didn't mind that the other prostitutes he slept with had other clients but for some reason he didn't like the idea of sharing this girl with another man.
Sousuke entered the room.
"I'm back. Here are the boxes," Sousuke said as he entered. Momo looked up when she heard his voice. She had a beautiful face, the purest, most innocent and guileless, brown eyes. They reminded him of a puppy's eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said standing up. She tried to take the necklace off, fumbling with the clasp a little again.
"Let me help you with that," Sousuke said, placing the boxes on the bed.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said, turning her back to him and allowing him access to it.
"I'm sorry, I'm normally very good working with my hands, well at least with things like sewing and I can't imagine that taking jewelry off is much different," Momo said apologetically
"It's alright. I don't mind helping," Sousuke said, undoing the clasp and placing it back in it's box.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. This isn't the first time I've worn jewelry and I don't normally have this much trouble," Momo said fumbling with the right earring.
"Perhaps you're just tired. Let me help you with that," Sousuke said. Momo moved her hands and turned to allow him to help.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. I probably am a little tired," Momo admitted as Sousuke removed the earring before moving to remove the other.
Sousuke smiled a little at this.
'She is quite sweet and really cute,' Sousuke thought to himself.
"Maybe a little nervous too," Momo admitted.
"There's no reason for you to be nervous," Sousuke said removing the earring.
"As I told you earlier," Sousuke said, picking up the box before taking a seat on the bed.
"We don't need to have sex again and you can say no to anything at anytime," Sousuke said as he put the earrings back in to box.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Aizen. I know and if I don't want to do something I'll tell you. I'm just not use to doing this kind of thing. I need a little more experience, that's all," Momo insisted.
"If you insist. I'll let you take that shower now," Sousuke said.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. I'll try not to take to long," Momo said heading for the bathroom.
"Take as much time as you need. If you need take the time to help you relax," Sousuke said.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said just before entering the bathroom. She closed the door and locked it behind her. She leaned back against the door and let out a breath.
'I really don't want to go through with it, but Mr. Aizen seems to be a very patient man and if I'm going to be doing this long term than I need the experience. The next man I do something like this with might not be so patient with me,' Momo said to herself. She looked at herself in the mirror before she started trying to undo the lacing in the back with no luck. She let out a slightly frustrated sigh before turning and unlocking the door.
"Um, Mr. Aizen?" Momo said, opening the door and peeking her head out into the bedroom.
"Yes, Momo?" Sousuke replied.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm having trouble untying the laces in the back," Momo said.
"Do you need some help with that?" Sousuke asked, getting up and walking over to where she was.
"Yes, please, Mr. Aizen. I'm afraid that I may have tied the knot in the back a little too tight," Momo explained, stepping out of the bathroom and turning to allow Sousuke to help her.
"Yes, I can see that," Sousuke said as he examined the knot.
"I'm sorry that I'm taking so long," Momo said apologetically, fidgeting a little.
"It's quite alright. I don't mind waiting. Just relax and don't worry about it," Sousuke said as he started undoing the knot.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said.
"You're welcome. There, done," Sousuke said as he finished.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. Um...do you think you would like to join me?" Momo said a little shyly.
"Are you sure about that?" Sousuke asked smiling kindly at her.
"Well...um...I...thought...that..." Momo trailed off, looking down, fidgeting.
"Maybe next time. There's no reason for you to try things that you aren't ready to do yet," Sousuke said, though he realized the irony of what he said the moment he said it.
"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said going back into the bathroom, once again closing and locking the door behind her.
Her dress now untied she slipped her shoes off before she carefully slipped off the dress. It was beautifully made and no doubt expensive. She carefully folded it up and placed it on a clear spot on the counter. She then removed her bra and set it on top of the dress. After that she carefully removed her underwear and then carefully removed the liner. She set the underwear down with the rest of her garments and disposed of the liner. She then removed the hair pins and set them down on the dress with the rest of the things.
When she was done she stepped into the shower and turned on the water.
She felt like kicking herself when she realized she didn't have any makeup remover, but she shrugged it off and just decided to improvise. She squeezed a little of her body wash into hand and carefully started washing her face. She closed her eyes and carefully washed off the eye shadow and mascara. Being careful to keep her mouth closed she washed the lipstick off her lips.
She looked beautiful this evening, but she didn't feel beautiful. Instead she felt ugly. This evening she wore clothing and jewelry fit for a queen, but she felt cheap and worthless. And even as she scrubbed her skin until it was red she still felt filthy and disgusting. She cried a little as she thought about what she had done this evening. After allowing herself a good cry she continued with her shower.
After Momo was done with her shower she turned off the water, squeezed her hair out a little before she opened the door a little and grabbed herself a towel and started to dry herself off. She wrapped herself up in it and stepped out of the shower and onto the floor mat where she wiped her feet off. She grabbed another towel and started patting her hair dry before wrapping it up in a towel. Slowly she unlocked the door and hesitantly she opened the door and peeked her head out she saw Sousuke sitting at the table in the chair facing in the direction of the bathroom.
"Mr. Aizen," Momo said, causing him to lookup.
"I'm sorry for the wait," Momo said stepping out of the shower.
"Not at all, my dear. I was just, taking care of one or two things," Sousuke said closing his laptop and standing up.
"I'm not sure where to put the clothes I wore this evening, so I just folded them up and set them aside" Momo explained.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure they are fine where they are for now," Sousuke said.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen," Momo said.
"Just sit down and relax. Can I get you something to drink?" Sousuke asked.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. I'm fine thank you," Momo said drying her hair off with the towel.
"Well if you change your mind, help yourself to anything in the fridge. I recently had it restocked with a variety of beers," Sousuke said.
"Thank you, Mr. Aizen. If I do I will," Momo said smiling.
Meanwhile, at the Kurosaki residence Karin showed Toushiro to the guest bedroom.
It was nice and big with a queen size bed with navy blue sheets. The bedframe was light colored wood and there were matching nightstands, one on either side. The door to the walk-in-closet was to the left of the bed and there was a window across from the bed.
"Are you sure this is a guest room?" Toushiro asked.
"Of course I'm sure!" Karin snapped, then upon realizing it she added more politely, "I mean yes, it is. We sometimes have a lot of out of town guests and part of having a lot of money requires that we make our guests feel at home," Karin explained.
"Well it certainly looks like it belongs to a member of the family living here," Toushiro said looking around.
"Well, I'll let you get settled in for the night," Karin said.
"Thank you. I'll go get my overnight bag," Toushiro said.
"You brought an overnight bag?" Karin said.
"Of course I did. I always do since I can't always be sure whether or not I'll make it home. Sometimes I have to sleep at work or stay at a friend's home," Toushiro explained.
"I see. I'll let you get that then," Karin said, stepping out of the way and letting him get past her.
"It's about time you started acting like an adult rather than an immature brat," Ichigo said, he was standing behind her.
Karin was a little caught off guard. She spun around to face her brother.
She glared at his smug expression.
"What are you doing, Ichigo? Are you spying on me or something?" Karin yelled at her brother.
"No, I just happened to walking by and I overheard your conversation," Ichigo said before he turned to walk away.
"Yeah right!" Karin snapped.
"Believe what you want," Ichigo said as he walked away.
Karin let out a growl of frustration before storming off.
Sousuke stepped out of the shower and dried off. Wrapping the towel around his waist he started towel drying his hair. He wiped the fog off the mirror, then used the corner of the towel he was using to dry his hair that was now draped around his neck to wipe the fog off of his glasses before putting them back on.
Sousuke looked at himself in the mirror and started to question whether or not he should take advantage of this girl like this.
'If she's alright with it than why not?' Sousuke asked himself as he looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was a mess(like he wears it in canon before he revealed his true nature). Sousuke ran his hands through his hair, slicking it back before he opened the cabinet and got a condom out of the box before closing the medicine cabinet before leaving the bathroom to join the young woman.
Momo was sitting on the edge of the bed looking a little nervous as she fidgeted a little with the towel she used to dry her hair and was now draped around her neck.
"Are you alright, Momo?" Sousuke asked the young woman.
"I'm sorry, I guess I'm just a little nervous. Maybe I should take that drink after all," Momo said.
"Alright. What do you think you would like?" Sousuke asked.
"I'm not sure. I don't know a whole lot about beer," Momo admitted as she continued to fidget with her towel.
"Maybe we should go with sweet wine instead," Sousuke said.
"Alright, sounds good to me," Momo said.
"Wonderful, I believe I have a few sweet wines from a small vineyard in the South," Sousuke said.
"Sounds delicious," Momo said.
"I'll be back in a few minutes," Sousuke said grabbing a bathrobe before leaving the room. On his way to the kitchen he slipped the condom in his pocket so that his hands would be free to carry the glasses.
Sousuke returned with a sweet white wine. Momo was sitting at the foot of the bed her hair was draped over her left shoulder and she was fidgeting with it. The towel was in her lap. She really was quite beautiful.
God bless y'all.
