(Yuzu's pov)

Chpt 5 a Lovers Nightmare part 2: kirosaki clinic, upstairs, Yuzu's bedroom, morning

Last night everything I wanted to do came together; I finally realized my feelings for Ichigo, I got him to admit he does love me, and finally I got him to stay here. All in all a wonderful night for me a least. By far the best part was going to sleep with him, I've never sleep better, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt like I was waking back up. I expected to wake up and nuzzle up to Ichigo. I felt around, eyes still closed, thinking he must have move over to the edge of the bed.

"Unh Ichigo you can't hide from me," I moved over and finally opened my eyes, "huh?" I noticed he wasn't in bed or anywhere in my room. 'Where did he go?' I would have got out of bed but I was still sore from last night. I finally thought 'today was the day he was supposed to leave wasn't it?'

"He wouldn't have," tears bubbled up, "he wouldn't have left after everything I did... would he?" I balled up and pulled the covers over me. I heard the door open and close and expected it to be dad, probably to see why I haven't gotten out of bed yet, but it wasn't.

"Ichigo," he was carrying a tray with breakfast on it, "I thought you have left already."

"I did, just to get breakfast." Ichigo smiled a smile I had seen only a few times in me life. It always made me feel better. I dried her eyes the sheet hanging around me. He walked toward the bed, "I would have been here sooner, but I ran into Orihime downstairs." He sat the tray across my lap, it was Ichigo's idea of a good breakfast, a bowl of corn flakes and a glass of orange juice lay on it.

"Orihime? Huh."

"Yeah. She heard Karin had gotten hurt. You know how things like that get out."

"What else." I asked just to be nosy. In fact Karin once said that "your nosiness knows no bounds rather it was watching Ichigo from the window, when he left the house, or having a glass in hand against a door just to find out what he says." it made me giggle thinking about that.

"Let's see... where should I begin." he sat down on the bed. Me feet slid down and bumped against him

"How about when you got out of bed."

"Ok I woke up and..."

This is not really a flashback it just makes what happened easier to understand. I hope.

(Normal pov) that morning

'I'm cuming... Yuzu... aah I'm cuming.' Ichigo woke up in a cold sweat. He finally realized it was all a dream. A hell of a dream in fact, it all felt real. He moved thinking of going back to sleep then he realized his arm was around something. Something he assumed was an extra pillow or the wadded up bedding. He removed his arm and felt that "something" move. Ichigo knew that a normal pillow was not supposed to move or at least he hoped it couldn't.

He debated whether or not to find out what was in bed next to him. At last, in the span of a couple of minutes, curiosity got the better of him. He reached around trying not to move and found what he hoped for, with a click, the nearby nightstand lamp clicked on. What he found wasn't something he had expected, Yuzu. Ichigo just about fell out of bed, if it hadn't been for her arms around his waist. The dream came back to him.

'Oh god! What happened last night!' just as fast the dream came, it went and a new thought popped up, 'she could have just crawled into bed with me; between Karin getting stabbed and she trying to kill herself. Maybe she didn't want to sleep alone. She did use to do that when a bad storm thunderstorm came around.' his mind was trying to rationalize this situation any way it could. Just as his mind started to accept this thought, Yuzu rolled over exposing her breasts and Ichigo's lack of clothing.

'Oh my god! What have I have been doing!' once again the dream, at least he hoped it was, came back. Then his mind tried to once again rationalize it, ' okay I occasionally do sleep in the buff and maybe Yuzu got hot and took off her clothes. No problem'

He looked around trying his best not to stare but couldn't help look down her body. Suddenly becoming fixated on a small red spot on the sheet around her. It was about the size of a balled up fist and right between her legs. The dream thrice came again. Yuzu was a virgin and in the dream, he deflowered her. Ichigo knew there would be blood right where that stain was.

'Holy shit! That dream can't be real!' like the dream, his mind re-rationalize the situation. 'She must have just cut herself getting into the bed. That must be it.' feeling confidant that his mind has taken care of all the problems; he however was going to take care of another problem. The early morning erection, morning wood as is was, and he was hoping to burn through it. Whether or not Yuzu was in the bed, he was going to take care of it. Every morning for the last three years, he has woken up to the "tent" on the bed. This time however, what he grabbed was the thin air; he looked down surprised he had actually missed himself.

Ichigo didn't see anything not the "tent", the erection, or anything. This finally broke his rational mind.

"Holy fucking shit! I actually had sex with Yuzu!" he just about shouted that to the heavens, made Yuzu stir next to him, and finally causing him to fall the edge of the bed. If that wasn't bad enough the "thud" he caused woke up Yuzu, well just about, causing her to speak or in this case a moaning slur of the word "breakfast" before turning over. He dragged on the pair of boxers from the pile of clothes mostly Yuzu's clothing she was wearing last night. He left the room in a hurry careful not to slam the door and made his was downstairs toward the kitchen. Not yet realizing the room he left wasn't his own.

Ichigo literally felt like he was running inside a nightmare. One of which the inner hollow would torment him by playing it over and over. He reached the kitchen shaking, mouth dry thinking what might have happened, he grabbed a cup and ran some water. The shaking calmed down but not before getting half of the water in the cup on him. Just as he was about to quench his thirst he felt a hand grab his shoulder. Ichigo just about jumped out of his skin splashing the rest of the water on him. He turned half expecting to see his dad and expecting him to beat the ever-loving shit out of him for what he did to Yuzu.

"son what do you think you have done." Ichigo froze just as he turned to see his father staring at him, arms crossed, " I know you need to take a shower but do you think the kitchen is the best place for one." Issin smiled and ruffled his son's hair.

"y-yeah I know. I'm just a little nervous."

"nervous... nervous about what? Shit Ichigo hoped he wouldn't keep going with it. At least he knew where Yuzu got her nosyness.

"uh... about Karin and Yuzu." Issin grabbed Ichigo's shoulder shook him a little rough.

"it's good to see my son is still worried about his little sisters. Oh before I forget Orihime came by to see you. Well actually she came by to see Karin, I don't know how she found out so fast, she said she wants to see you after Karin. Try not to let her get away." he spread the hint about Orihime fairly thick as he does all the time.

"Yeah I-I sure will." he refilled his glass and actually managed to drink it.

"Well anyway I really wanted to ask what happened to Yuzu was last night." Ichigo froze mid-gulp, still expecting Issin to beat him, "I came up after dealing with Karin. I was hoping to console her and find out what was going on. I came in and saw that you were in bed with her." Ichigo remained where he was, unmoved. "It's been awhile since she crawled into anyone's bed. It's great to see her big brother trying to console her."

"oh… yeah." Ichigo barley managed to get out.

"oh yeah. To sleep in her bed with her, just to make her happy." Issin slapped Ichigo hard in the back, " you would do anything to make her happy. So was this a one-time thing or is she going to get lucky again tonight." He had a big grin on his face obviously noticing what he had said. Ichigo forced a small laugh.

"I don't know?" Ichigo looked over to Orihime who just entered the room. Issin saw her as she walked over obviously wanting to talk to Ichigo.

"well I'll be on my way." He turned to leave.

"Dr. Kirosa-." Orihime started but Issin cut her off.

"it's Issin or possibly dad." His smile got bigger, " either one is fine. I hope it's dad if not now hopefully one day in the future. I got to go and check on Karin to see if she's ok." He turned back and left before another word was said.

"your dad's really nice about letting me come over all the time; although why does he want me to call him dad?" Orihime propped up against the counter next to Ichigo.

"I have absolutely no idea," he lied Ichigo knew why exactly why. He doesn't like to lie but with things getting more complicated he was going to have to do more of it, " maybe since you really don't have any family."

"I guess but I still don't why he thinks that. After all tatsuki's family and," she moved closer to the now more composed Ichigo, " your kinda family too."

I Know this isn't much of an update. hell it's just probably a thought I managed to type. surprisingly I managed to get this done with all that time to spare in the world. To be perfectly honest I've been busy trying to get into college and actually take classes but this story will not go down. it's just going to be a lot longer than i would have liked to update. I am still writing this story just my updating is behind. when I work College out I will UPDATE to finish this story. You all will just have to do without for a couple more months. Sorry...
