Procrastinating is a serious profession of mine…..

Last time I will be saying (or typing) this

I do not and will never own the rights to Bleach. Ask anyone who knows the anime and they will say Tite Kubo owns it

I do not own the rights to Assassin's Creed, nor Ubisoft. No matter how much I wish I could meet the team I will never.

You know that fuzzy feeling?

That fluttering in your stomach?

How your body heats up and your face shows the world how you feel?

That's love.

"Altair." I mumbled in disbelief. I noticed Orihime; next to me; go ridged as Altair's comment rolled off of his tongue in a heavy accent.

He looked at me with his golden eyes coldly but a smirk graced his lips. "Well?" he asked "Where's our hug?"

"Ichi-nii!" I turned to my right to see Yuzu and Karin come running out of the huge library. "You're ok!" Yuzu yelled with glee and launched herself at me in a hug. "We were so worried…" she said as I felt my shoulder soak in her warm tears.

"I'm safe Yuzu you never have to worry about that." I said reassuringly as I hugged her back.

"b-but… I t-thought w-we l-l-lost you!" she said stammering along the way as I put her down and kneeled down to get shorter than her and give her a smile. She wiped away her tears as Karin walked up.

"Glad to see your ok." Karin said with a smirk like smile.

I stood up and looked around the room. "Where's Dad?" I asked looking at Altair.

"He is just in his room taking a bath. The trip here wasn't partially an easy one." He replied as he waved his left hand in the air. Noticing his missing ring finger triggered something.

"Hey where's your hidden blade?" I asked after realizing it wasn't attached to his forearm.

His creed rules when he was a teenager were different than the ones I grew up to know. The hidden blades required a sacrifice and a ritual, something that tied you to your Brothers. A finger had to be cut off in order for the blades to slide out. Oddly enough, once you had the blade out of its gantlet you didn't need to keep your hand in a fist.

"Broken. We ran into some cocky high ranking guards and knew what I was" he said as he looked up at his hood with a frown. "The asshole hit the inside of the bracer somehow and the blade slid right out and fell out." He said as he huffed a breath of aggravated air out. "I need to fix it."

"Are you going to modify it like mine?" I said to him with a look of questioning on my face. 'At least I have all ten of my fingers' an echo-like voice said in my head that shocked me a little.

"No." he looked at like I just grew horns and a tail.

"But you created the second hidden blade. You don't want to change it?" I asked a little angrily.

"Why would I change? I didn't created the blue prints, the apple did. I just merely wrote them down. I grew up the hidden blade being like the way I have it." He said with a rising voice; trying to rein authority over me.

"But you learned it from the apple plus your master betrayed your brothers. He betrayed the creed. He forced your brothers with the apple to kill you. Yet you still keep your hidden blade as it is! You should listen to the apple!" why am I yelling? I feel like I lost all control of my vocal cords.

"Watch your tongue boy. Yes my master was a templar and you should learn from his mistakes. He was arrogant and I had to kill him because of it. But he taught me to hold my tongue when I talked to my elders." He said as fire dance in his eyes.

"Oh really? And what makes you think that I need to listen to you? You, the man that was the reason that his own wife died!" I said without meaning to saying it. 'What the fuck is going on?!'

He grabbed the sword at his hilt and before I could defend myself I opened my mouth slightly to try and calm him with my words but before I could say anything, a cold metal slid across my lip and sliced my tongue a little. The taste of warm metallic liquid met with my taste sense. I whipped my hands up to cover the new cut.

Looking at me with sympathy Altair left. I should consider myself lucky, and I do. He could have done much worse and for that I am grateful.

Looking at him walking out of the hideout made me realize that I was alone. And due to me and him being alone that is the reason for him lashing out at me and storming away.

I grunted as I tried separating my lips to call for a doctor or someone but pain rolled over my cut lips

Orihime came in and noticed my hand over my mouth with blood slowly creeping its way down my neck and through my hands.

"Ichigo!" she said worriedly as she ran up to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "Let me fix this!" she quickly led me to our bedroom and left the room. When she came back she had her hands full with medical supplies.

She walked over to me and took off both of our hoods but she also took off the top half of my shirt to clean the running blood.

She sat next to me and cleaned my wound and silence fell upon the room. I looked into her stormy grey eyes as she was working and I guess you can say that the pain just went away. I felt content in my life. No pain, no sadness. It felt like my world was finally at peace. But why did I say that to Altair? I've known this man my entire life. And I have always respected him. So why did I lose control and yell at him for a stupid reason?

"Ichigo…" she said as a slight blush crept on her cheeks.

"Hm?" I hummed in replied curiously.

She opened her mouth several times as if to say something, "Never mind it can wait." She said looking at her hands as she now cleaned my neck.

I grabbed her by the hips and I pinned her to the bed by her wrists. Hovering over her I leaned my head down to her neck and kissed it softly. "What is it?" I said against her neck. I pulled away to look at her beat red face.

"I-I forgot…." She said with an honest face.

Smiling I left go of her wrists. "I guess I'm going to have to tickle it out of you!" I said as my hands started tickling her.

"HAHAHA S-Stop! That Tickles Ichi-ichigo!"

"Tell me and I'll stop!" I said with a big smile across my face.

"Ok! Ok! I'll talk just s-stop!" She said laughing.

"Good." I said stopping and I laid her on my lap.

"I just w-wanted to say that I-I can't stop t-thinking about our k-kiss this morning." She said looking down.

"Why?"

She looked me in this eyes "you're a good kisser."

"Oh really?" I said with a smirk.

"Yes."

I cupped my hands around her cheeks and I pulled her face to mine. She froze but she softened up and pushed her chest on mine and kissed harder. I licked her lower lip and she gasped in reply and I shoved my tongue in her mouth. I wanted more and more of her, but a burning feeling in my throat reminded me of my earthy needs. We pulled apart and I went straight to her neck as she panted hard.

"Ichi…" she said quietly.

This needs to stop. Why can't I stop? I don't want this right now. Please I need to stop!

"Ichigo, stop you should take a bath." Orihime said with a voice crack in the middle of her sentence.

She was nervous. I could tell she was.

"Orihime I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing." I told her honestly.

"We can try later but I'm not ready yet." She said as she looked away.

"I know." I said as I stood up and carefully took off my shirt. "I am going to take a bath. Feel free to use the female bath house. I won't be long." I said as walked out with a towel.

"Dannazione!" I yelled as soon I was in the bath house. "What the hell was that?" I screamed.

"Son!" I turned to see my dad running to me happily… naked

"MI DIO! PADRE, INDOSSARE QUALCOSA!" I yelled at him as loud as I could while shielding my eyes from the awkward male anatomy.

"Ezio… your lip…" he said as he stopped in front of me.

"I waved my tongue in front of Altair." I said with sadness. "I completely an utterly deserved the lash. I insulted him, I made fun of his master's betrayal," tears started filling up in my eyes, "I brought up Marias murder…" I choked out. Tears began to fall down my face. I hurt him, I hurt Altair. He has enough of his own demons. I feel so bad.

Altair's point of view. Age 48

My beautiful wife, Maria and I just came back from a 10 year trip with our first son Darim. I left Masyaf's Assassin order to my closest friend Malik and my younger son Sef. A student of mine ran up to us and welcomed us home. This assassin didn't care much about anything else but his own blood lust.

"Welcome back Master!" He said.

"Where's Rauf?" I asked "he was assigned the role of our welcoming." I looked around for him, but I didn't see anything besides the novices training.

"His demise came during your absence from a fever." He said. Maria gasped next to me.

"But he never got sick…" she said with shock. My wife proved a very valid point. Something isn't right here…

I turned to Maria and Darim, "Shall we go and see how Malik is doing?" I asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid to say that Malik has been plotting to take the entire assassin order for himself, and he has been thrown in the prisons."

"What?!" I hissed as him and spinning on my heels. "What happened to Sef?!" Maria put a hand on my shoulder to calm me.

"Due to the absence of a master assassin we started council with Abbas as the head. He fled to the village of Alamut."

"I'm going to find my brother." Darim said as he hugged me and his mother as he ran back down the hill to the stables.

"Darim wait!" Maria yelled.

"Let him go Maria. I need to take a rest. You can take your leave now Swami." I shot him a cold stare as he bowed and turned back the way he came.

"Let's go." I said as I kissed my wife.

We returned to our massive master bedroom. I began thinking about all the pain that I caused Malik.

"No, not Malik. Malik loved the brotherhood. He would never cause pain to it!" said while acing as Maria undressed.

"I don't believe it either love. I may be an ex templar but even I know this isn't right." she said as she walked up to me and rubbed her hands on my chest. "You're filthy."

"Oh I am, am I?" I said with a smirk on my scared lips and I pulled her towards me in a seductive hug.

"Very." She said while laughing at me. As she took off my robes and kissed me deeply and pulled me on the bed.

We released years of pent up sexual frustrations within half an hour.

"I'm going to go find Malik." I said as I rolled off the bed.

"I'm coming too." She said jumping up and over to her closet.

"Oh no you aren't." I said and I put my gray trousers. I hopped around on one foot a bit before falling on the bed.

"You can't stop me. Plus you are having quite the hard time getting your pants on." She said laughing. "I think you are gonna need me."

"No, absolutely not." I said with a stern voice and I started putting my boots on.

She giggled as she finished dressing and ran out of the bedroom. "There is no way to catch me now." She said laughing.

Quickly throwing on my master cloak as chasing after her, laughing. We slowly walked to the prisons under the castle.

"We need to lay low and stay quiet. If there is a conspiracy like I think, they wouldn't want us down here."

She nodded as we walked down the cold hallway. Once we got to the prisons I jumped up and grabbed a hold of the bean over our heads. I swung around it and landed on top. Once I was on I helped Maria up.

"I could have done it myself you know."

"Sure you could."

"Altair…"

"Shh." I silenced her.

"Don't let your anger get a hold of you, my love." She added

We ran across the beams as quiet as we could and barely a creak came from the beams. We looked at all the cells but there was nobody in them.

"Altair he's not here…"

"We have to try. I was the reason his arm is gone because of me his brother died at the age of 12. I own this to him." I whispered to her as I jumped faster. When we reached the end of the prison cells I found a single guard sleeping in front of a cell. Inside was practically a skeleton. It had long shaggy black hair and a missing left arm… Malik. I quietly hopped off of the beam.

"Malik!" I whispered. He looked up at me in shock. I was enraged yet relieved at the guards resting. I opened Malik's cell with my hidden blade. I noticed out of the corner of my eye; the guard started stirring and waking up. Grabbing the back of his head I slammed it against the cell bars successfully knocking him out cold. I pulled Malik's arm over my shoulder and Maria and I carried him back up to our room.

"Abbas! He has been creating a coup for the last two years. Sef…" his eyes started to water up. "Your son is no longer with us. He was executed by Abbas. I sorry! If I had been a better leader I could have stopped this!" Maria behind me gasped and fell to her knees and broke into a fit of tears.

"I don't blame you Malik. You tried your best. Rest now my friend."

Once Malik fell asleep and Maria calmed down we went to find abbas. We walked around the castle a couple of times to find him but ended up failing we decided to just take a stroll in the garden. We walked hand in hand as the sun began to fall. Abbas and Swami walked u to us.

"You are not a fit leader Altair! Give me the apple now!" Abbas yelled at me.

"Fine here take it." I reached in my pocket to get the apple. Swami was sent to collect it from me.

"Oh by the way Altair," Swami began "I told Sef that you ordered his death." He said with a sinister smile. My anger was sent into the apple. The apple flung into action and shrouded all four of us in its glowing gold light. Swami's body was mine to control now. I had him take out his short blade. Maria jumped in front of me.

"Altair no! The apple! You mustn't let your anger get a hold of you!" Maria shouted at me. My strength on the apple weakened, and swami stabbed Maria in her spine.

"MARIA!" I screamed as I finished Swami off by stabbing him in his torso repeatedly. "I'm sorry! I love you don't leave me please!" I said while crying. She kissed me with all her love and she died him my arms. I grabbed the apple and ran down to the stables as the assassins ran after me.

"Father help me please!" Darim yelled as assassins tried air assassinating him. After throwing a couple of throwing knives. We got to the stables. We grabbed the two fastest horses and ran away.

Maria I'm sorry please forgive me…

Ichigo's Point of view

After taking my bath I got dressed and walked into our bedroom. But she wasn't there.

'She must be in the bath house.'

I walked over the women's bathhouse but she wasn't there either. After looking around the underground assassin hide out I ran back to our room. I looked around to see if I noticed anything odd. I went into the bathroom.

There was a letter and drops of blood on the floor next to a broken window. I frantically read the letter.
