Disclaimer: I do now own 'Bleach'.
Ya moron! The bitch ain't dead! How the fuck did this happen? Ya messin' up, King.
Ichigo stared at the news with furrowed eyebrows. His hand was tapping on the armchair and his left eyebrow began to twitch as it continued to rant about his mistakes. Ichigo shut the TV off and grabbed his phone, closing his eyes and waiting for the certain person to answer.
"What can I help ya wit' today, boss?" Gin asked.
"I need you to finish Orihime off. I need her dead." Ichigo said, his scowl deepening when he heard Gin click his tongue.
"Can't do that. I got asked ta do anotha' job 'nd ain't in town ta be able ta help ya." Gin said, making Ichigo take a deep breath.
"What about that other woman you sometime work with?" Ichigo asked, his fingers tapping faster on the armchair.
"She be out visitin' her family. Sorry, but I can't help ya 'til I get back 'nd that'll be in a week or so." Gin replied.
"I need someone to kill Orihime now, not in a week, Ichimaru." Ichigo hissed, making it claw in his mind.
"Then ya're in a pickle. If only ya hadn't gone off 'nd killed Grimmy. He could've helped ya out. Talk ta meh when ya actually need meh, boss. It's time I get back to work." With that, Gin hung up on the angry man.
Ichigo stood up from his seat, looking through his contracts to see if he could find anyone who could do the job and not screw up. His eyes seemed to glow when the phone revealed one contact. He smirked before quickly calling the number and placing the phone to his ear.
"Yo."
"Ru, I have a job for you."
The smell of medical supplies and cleanliness clung to her nose. Ru walked through the hospital's hallways, wearing a white mask to hide her face. A long black coat covered her body, to hide the fact that she was a female. She grinned behind the mask when she saw the room that belonged to Orihime and stepped inside. The light of the moon was the only thing Ru needed to see the orange-haired woman who she came to kill.
Grabbing the needle on one of the tables, Ru filled it up with air before removing her mask. She neared Orihime, who was still in a coma, and raised the needle to the IV line in her wrist. Ru was grinning widely, her eyes narrowed as she stared at the face of the woman she could not stand. Slowly, she pressed the small amount of air into the IV line, watching as the heart monitor that watched over Orihime's heart beat began to act erratically before stopping completely. Now just beeping once and loudly.
She placed the mask back on her face, taking the needle with her, and left the room when she heard shouts coming from the nurses and doctors.
"I got the job done."
"Good. Your payment will be sent soon."
"… Before I let ya go, tell meh where Grimmjow is. I haven't seen the fucker in days."
"I sent him to a place he needed to go. I'm not sure when he will return, but don't hold your breath. He won't be coming back any time soon."
Ichigo hung up on Ru soon after saying what he needed to say. He knew she was only doing the job to find out where Grimmjow had gone off to, so Ichigo took that in his advantage and called up the woman. Ichigo hummed gently, looking at the basement door from the comfort of his living room. He had yet to visit his dead friend since Ichigo had killed him. He smirked, getting to his feet and walking to the door.
"Time to visit him."
Che, he prob' smells like shit now. Get rid of him, King. He's gonna stink the place up.
"And ruin the reminder I have that warns anyone of the consequences that will happen if they betray me? No thanks." Ichigo said, opening the door.
Then ya even mo' of a fucked up bastard than fox-face 'nd that's sayin' sumthin. Looks like my ways are rubbin' off on ya, ne?
"Don't get too happy. You give me migraines when you're too cheerful."
'Nd ya make meh wanna shoot myself when ya all borin' 'nd serious.
"Will you shu-"
King! Where the fuck his the body? Ya fuckin' idiot!
Ichigo stared at the old pool of blood where Grimmjow's body should have been. A small trail showed that the body had been moved, before a trail of footsteps told a different story. Ichigo walked in the path of the footsteps until he found himself standing in front of an open door that led to the backyard. Ichigo glared at the door, his jaw clenched and his fist shaking.
Ya didn't kill, Grimmy. The bastard is still alive… 'nd knowin' him… He's gonna come back fer us, King. Ya dumbass, how could ya let him slip through ya fingers like that!
"Shut up! I don't want to hear you right now. I'll handle this."
Ya gonna handle this? Heh, that's like meh givin' a monkey a loaded gun. Lemme handle it, King. I can get rid of him easy.
"No."
Ichigo ignored it as it continued to rant loudly in his head. He grabbed his cellphone and scrolled down his contacts until he found Grimmjow's number staring back at him. He hesitated for only a moment before pressing the call button and placing the ringing phone to his ear. He was answered by a loud cackling laughter.
"Ichigo! You miss me yet? HAHAHAHA!"
"You're suppose to be dead." Ichigo hissed, slamming the open door shut and turning back to walk up the stairs.
"You of all people should know I ain't that easy to kill off. I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to me, Kurosaki. No one betrays me!" Grimmjow shouted, laughing soon after.
"Heh, whatever you have planned won't work. I'm untouchable, Grimmjow." Ichigo said.
"Don't get too cocky now, Kurosaki. What makes you think that you're my target? I have someone else in mind. A certain little thing you call… Rukia-chan." Grimmjow purred Ichigo's nickname for Rukia before snickering into the phone. Ichigo growled lowly before opening his mouth to speak. He was interrupted when Grimmjow began to speak again.
"I'll get even wit' you, Kurosaki. Keep your eyes peeled! HAHAHA!"
Click
Ichigo shut his phone closed and stuffed it into his pocket. He ran his hands through his spiky hair, allowing some of it to cover his eyes. He was so close to getting what he wanted. He could practically feel his win on the tips of his fingers. Now, this had to happen and Ichigo found himself trying to come up with a plan. The doorbell rang, making Ichigo turn to the door and stare at it for a moment before a voice called.
"Kurosaki-sama. It's Rukia."
Queen.
Rukia stepped back a bit when the door was swung open before clearing her throat. Ichigo smiled down at her before making way for her to step inside. Rukia bowed before stepping inside and walking toward the living room. Ichigo followed after her, sitting beside her when he noticed some tears in her large eyes.
"What brings you here, Rukia-chan?"
"Orihime died last night."
Yeah, we know 'cause we were the one that had her killed.
Rukia did not resist when she felt the secure hands of Ichigo wrapping around her body and pulling her closer. She laid her head on his chest, allowing the tears in her eyes to run down her face freely. Her hand on his chest clung to the fabric of his shirt as she sobbed into his strong chest.
"My world's falling apart. First, my husband cheats on me and now my best friend is dead. I'm losing the people around me!" Rukia cried, gasping gently when Ichigo placed his hand on her lower back and began to rub it gently.
"Will it make you feel any better to know you will never lose me? I will always be right behind you, Rukia-chan. Don't forget that." Ichigo whispered, smirking when he saw the faint blush on Rukia's face.
Queen will neva' be alone. Not as long as we're here. She's ours 'nd we will be by 'er side so she's neva' alone again.
Out of impatience, Ichigo grabbed Rukia's chin and raised her head. Their eyes met for only a moment before Rukia squeaked when she felt his lips on hers. Her eyes closed at the warmth of the lips on hers, her grip on his shirt tightening when she felt him bring her closer to his body. When Rukia felt him gently nip at her bottom lip, she returned to reality and unwillingly pulled away from the kiss.
She taste so fuckin' sweet!
"We can't… I will not stoop down to Renji's level…" Rukia whispered.
Ya may not be able ta, Queen. But we can.
A gasp flew from her lips when she felt herself being pushed onto her back. Her hands now held onto the pillows beneath her while Ichigo loomed over her, his body caging her. His eyes stared down at her passionately, but Rukia could see his hazel eyes slowly mixing into the strange yellow eyes she feared. Her breath hitched when she felt his lips hover over her pulsing point, and she felt disgusted when her body began to react so willingly.
Warmth pooled in-between her legs and her nipples hardened. She let out a weak whimper when one of his large hands ran up her thigh and stopped at her waist. Rukia arched her neck, breathing heavily when she felt Ichigo slowly lick her neck.
So yummy. I want mo'.
"You're not doing anything wrong, Rukia. Renji has been cheating on you for so long. Isn't it time you get to enjoy the pleasure I am so willing to give you?" Ichigo whispered, nibbling on her earlobe playfully.
Rukia bit her lip to stop the moan that wanted to be released. Her nails now dug into his shoulders as she tried to clear her foggy mind. Thankfully for her, just as Ichigo's hand was about to cup her breast, the doorbell rang. Ichigo growled and sat up to look at the door, allowing Rukia the chance to sit up and fix her clothes. Instead of the bell ringing, loud knocks were now coming from Ichigo's door, making him stand up and glare at the door.
"Rukia! I know you're in there!" Renji shouted, making Rukia scramble to her feet.
Ichigo raised his hand, stopping Rukia from answering the door. She begged him with her eyes not to do anything foolish, only to make Ichigo stare at her stoically. Ichigo answered the door, not even caring when Renji glared. Ichigo only smirked when Renji grabbed him by his collar and brought his face closer to his.
"What are you doing to my wife?" Renji hissed.
"Why so upset? She's not the one doing all the cheating. Hell, I was trying to seducer her right her on my couch and all she kept saying was that she would not stoop down to your level." Ichigo said.
"You where trying to do what with my wife? I will kill you!" Renji shouted, shaking Ichigo as he stepped inside the house.
"Renji! Please stop!" Rukia shouted, grabbing her husband's arms and trying to tear them away from Ichigo. Renji obeyed, but only wrapped his arms possessively around Rukia and pulled her away from the smirking man. Renji growled lowly at the man as he stepped out of the house with Rukia still in his grasp.
"Stay away from my wife! You hear me? I will kill you if you ever touch her again!"
Ichigo only waved away the pair before closing his door. The smirk, that he had only placed on his face in spite of Renji, vanished and a dark look appeared in Ichigo's eyes. Ichigo glared out the window as he watched Rukia and Renji argue pitifully in front of the Kuchiki home. His heart clenched when he saw tears spewing from Rukia's eyes and his desire to kill Renji increased.
Though, he had something much better planned out for the red-head.
Ichigo took out his phone again and dialed a number that could help him.
"Szayel, how is the body?"
"How could you go with him, Rukia? I'm your husband!"
"My cheating husband! I trusted you, Renji!"
Byakuya opened his eyes from his nap when he heard the faint bickering coming from the guest home. He looked over at Hisana, who had become ill, and sighed before sitting up from the couch. He tried his best not to wake his wife, but failed when she opened her eyes the moment he placed his lips on her forehead.
"Byakuya-sama?"
"Shh, reserve your strength. I will return." Byakuya whispered, coaxing his wife back to sleep.
His eyes returned to their cold state when he looked toward the window where the shouts could be heard before grabbing his jacket and placing it on. He seemingly pushed opened the door threateningly, but the bickering couple paid no heed to his entrance. They only paid attention when Rukia was suddenly pulled away from Renji and into Byakuya's embrace.
"Abarai, calm yourself. Both of you are causing a scene. The police may arrive any minute now due to the two of you shouting like banshees."
"Otosan?"
"Byakuya! Let me explain."
Byakuya's eyes seemed to be drilling holes into Renji's very soul. They were filled with rage, a natural rage any father would feel when their daughter's were brought to tears by a person unworthy of having them. Rukia bowed her head when Byakuya looked down at her, feeling shameful of embarrassing her father and the fact that she could still feel Ichigo's lips against hers.
"Rukia, I will gladly take things over from here. Just enter the home." Byakuya said, making Rukia look up at him.
"But Otosan-"
Sirens began to grow closer to the home, making the trio look up as three police cars began to drive toward them. Byakuya glared at Renji, who had a confused look on his face, before shoving Rukia behind him so she could not see the heated gaze Renji was giving him. Rukia looked over her father when she heard footsteps walking towards them.
"Are you Abarai Renji?" One of the man said.
"Yeah. Listen officer, I can-"
"I am Officer Shiba. I am here to investigate your car."
"What? Why?"
"We had a tip called in that told us that you may be behind the disappearance of Sato Miyu."
Rukia stared in disbelief as the tan police officer began to reach toward Renji. Renji tried to back away, shock apparent in his face before allowing the officer to hand cuff him. A shrill cry echoed around the neighborhood, making Ichigo smirk.
Hazel eyes stared out of the window in his office as the body of Miyu was discovered. Being preserved kept the body fresh as if she was killed only days ago. Ichigo knew his ex-wife and Renji had an affair while he was engaged to Rukia, making this seem even more believable. Ichigo had his cousin, Kaien Shiba, do the deed of arresting the man and distracting the family while Szayel had the body placed in Renji's car. Finally, Ichigo could see some hate in Rukia's eyes.
All of it directed toward the man she was married to. He laughed, gently at first before it became louder and more sadistic. He spun in his chair as he laughed, his head thrown back as he and it continued to laugh as Renji was arrested.
Queen is gonna be ours! HAHAHA! Renji Abarai is as good as dead!
Ichigo's laughter had calm down immensely, only snickering in pure joy. Even though he had to worry a bit about Grimmjow, he could honestly care less of the world around him. Ichigo felt victory even closer to him, making him stand up and stare at the three houses that surrounded him. He crossed off the Ishida home with his fingers before pointing toward the Hitsugaya home.
"You are next."
Ichimaru Gin stood on top of one large building, a sniper-rifle in his hand. He raised his head, feeling raindrops hit his pale and smiling face. His grin grew when his target came to view and zeroed in on the brown-haired woman walking through the thick crowed. He opened one blue eye to stare at Hinamori Momo through the lens. With one simple shot, Momo feel to the ground with a bullet drilling through her skull.
People scattered like scared animals when blood spilled onto the concrete floor from the wound in her head. Gin chuckled, putting down the rifle and enjoying the sight of people scurrying away and screaming at the dead body of Hitsugaya's lover. Gin then began to whistle, before singing as he walked toward the door.
*"I can see clearly now. The rain has gone! I can see all the obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind! It's going to be a bright, bright, bright, bright sun-shiny day!" Gin sung, closing the door behind and laughing as he walked down the set of stairs.
"So that was why you were busy, Gin? Very good." Ichigo said, the news of Hitsugaya's lover adding to his enjoyment.
"I wanted ta leave it as a surprise 'nd tell ya when I got back, but I felt ya needed ta hear this. Hope it brightened up ya day. Bai-Bai now."
Ichigo chuckled at Gin's trademark goodbye before placing his phone down. Though there were a few bumps, this day was perfect. Renji was in jail, the Ishida's were long gone, and Toshiro may have lost the love of his life. To top it all off, Ichigo finally had a taste of Rukia. A taste that never seemed to leave him. Ichigo placed his fingers to his lips, smirking at how delicious Rukia's lips felt on his.
Ya still could've gotten it in. Then that fuckin' pineapple had ta get involved. I want 'im dead.
"And you will get his death soon. Patience is our main factor here."
Even the most patient man loses his sanity waitin' fer too long. I can see ya crackin'. Hell, I felt the rage ya felt the moment Renji interrupted ya moment wit' Queen. Keep tryin' ta wait this out 'nd it'll eventually eat ya alive, King. 'Nd I'll be there ta take over when ya finally break.
Ichigo glared at nothing, closing his eyes when it decided to laugh in his mind.
Close your eyes
So many days go by
Easy to find what's wrong
Harder to find what's right
I believe in you
I can show you that
I can see right through
All your empty lies
I won't stay long
In this world so wrong
Say goodbye as we dance with the devil tonight
Don't you dare look at him in the eye
As we dance with the devil tonight
~Dance With The Devil by Breaking Benjamin~
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter! See you next week!
