Chapter 10: The News

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach

Ichigo Kurosaki

"Rukia why did you put it in there? You know being in his room gives me the creeps…" He said uncomfortably as she opened the door and stepped inside.

"If you're scared you can stay outside, although I still have to look for it... It might take a while and he could find you loitering outside his room." She said acting innocently, one of her more annoying habits. He groaned and followed her inside. He knew that there was no one around because Byakuya and Hisana were attending to guests at dinner and Rukia was probably just bluffing, but he wasn't going to risk it happening either way. Besides, they probably wouldn't get another good chance to dig around looking for the stupid CD Rukia lost. She was acting convinced that she left it near Hisana's stereo, but he could tell that if truth be told she wasn't completely sure where she actually left it. Great, she lost it.

He stood in a corner watching her go through the CD's around the stereo, probably checking each one three times before putting it away. It was as if she was desperate to prove to him that she in fact did not lose it, so she kept looking around for it even after clearing every single CD from the rack and around the stereo.

"What was that you said midget?"

"Shut it." She said as she rummaged through the drawers of the table underneath the stereo. He scoffed and looked around the big room. Freakin' place is so huge… Everything has to be huge with this guy, probably hinting at something there… Or making up for it.

He held back his snicker, careful to not let Rukia hear him. She would kick his ass if she caught him sullying her precious Nii-sama's image.

"Maybe Hisana saw it and put it somewhere else." She said as she put her thumb in her mouth and softly bit on it.

"Now you're just lying to yourself, admit it. You. Lost. It." He said with a smirk while settling himself on the bed, tired of standing.

"Shut it. I'm not admitting defeat that easily…" She got a wicked gleam in her eye and started walking over in his direction. Suddenly lifting her skirt an inch and hopped onto his lap, straddling him. He was about to protest, when she smashed her lips onto his and firmly put his hands on her ass, making him squeeze it. When he finally let go of his better judgment and let his teenage hormones take over, she moved her mouth to his ear and started licking the shell of his ear.

"I. Didn't. Lose. It."

He immediately shifted and threw Rukia on her back on the bed, putting himself on the top position this time. "I'm. Not. Falling. For. That."

He said as he teased her neck, his hands on her thighs. She moaned when his mouth left her neck and started heading south, her fingers lost in his messy orange hair. Just when he thought that she had succumbed to his will, she crossed her calves around his hips to hold him in place and in one swift movement undid all the buttons on her blouse, holding it open and thus revealing her black lace bra underneath.

"Are you sure?" She asked, acting innocent once again, shoving her chest against his face. He swallowed and tried to back away, but she was holding on tight and was not about to let him escape.

Damn midget… Can't I get things to go my way for once?

Hisana Kuchiki

"Maybe it isn't what we think... We really shouldn't make assumptions." She said hastily to her fuming husband. He was pacing back and forth, hand inching up to where his zanpakuto normally ought to be. His hand thankfully only found emptiness as he was only wearing his night robe.

"I-It could have been Yoruichi… Yeah, it was probably one of her pranks. You know very well that she's capable of these things." She concluded hopefully from her side of the room, the bed standing not so innocently between the couple. She wanted desperately to hop over it and help her husband navigate through the storm of rage he currently found himself in, but she really didn't want to touch the bed.

He looked at her, not being completely convinced yet. Good, that got to him. Now to put the finishing touches and I'll have treated the most immediate of the psychological wounds.

"She could have easily planted the evidence, and if you'd had fallen for it she'd probably end up saying that you're a pervert for thinking such things…"

"If it was the cat monster, she would have done a much better job at it and it would have been much worse… Hisana could you-.."

She nodded and leaned over the bed, peeling the offending object from between their sheets. She frowned when she confirmed that it indeed was Rukia's. This only means trouble… Tonight of all nights too…

She had planned this evening countless times in her head all day today and the last thing she expected to happen was to find a pair of Rukia's Chappy panties between their sheets on their bed when she finally got him to come to bed. She had initially planned on breaking the news over dinner, but she lost the courage upon seeing all the extra eyes on them at the table. She then decided to deliver the news when they were alone again after dinner, but of course her husband had work to finish and finally waltzed into their room much much later, catching her off-guard as she was dancing in her nightgown to help calm her nerves. There was no way she could fall asleep waiting for him to return, she had to keep her mind occupied somehow.

"I'm going to talk to her calmly and ask her what happened." She eyed her husband carefully, somewhere deep inside she was feeling that it would be a bad idea to leave him alone.

"I see… Well I think I'll go have a talk with Kurosaki and-"

"No, you stay right here. You have no business hunting that boy down in the world of the living at this hour. Besides, I still have something important to talk to you about. Do me a favor and be right here in this room when I return… I'll call a maid to replace these sheets for you. Please don't go wandering off… I won't forgive you if you do…" She whispered that last part in his ear and planted a chaste kiss on his lips. With having said what she wanted, she turned and hid the pair of panties in the pocket of her black silken robe. It was probably not the most appropriate choice of clothing to be wandering around the big house in, but the thought of changing her seductively short robe for something else hadn't occurred to her until she was already halfway to Rukia's room. The maid she found on the way there unconsciously looked her mistress up and down and blushed a little as she was being given her orders, hastily walking away to go find some clean linens.

After finally reaching Rukia's room, she knocked softly, praying that she wasn't waking her up. She got no response so she went ahead and opened the door slightly to peek inside the dark room, her other hand reaching for the light switch next to the door.

"Rukiaa?"

There was a sharp gasp and then a relatively loud crash in the blinding darkness immediately followed. She could hear a male voice swearing as he fell from the bed. Please tell me this isn't happening...

She turned on the lights, seeing Rukia with the covers over her naked torso and a leg sticking out of the covers, indicating that she was the one who kicked Ichigo off the bed, who was holding one of Rukia's Chappy pillows over his groin while scrambling for his pants. She put two and two together in the blink of an eye and immediately shoved her way all the way inside, slamming the door shut behind her. Her hand covering her eyes, giving Ichigo a chance to pull his pants back on.

"Have you two LOST YOUR MINDS?!" She said in a harsh whisper, afraid to raise her voice in the slightest. When she finally opened her eyes and got no response from the two teenagers besides them fixating their gaze on the nearest wall, she threw the pair of Chappy panties on Rukia's bed. Her facial expression turned to one of absolute horror when she saw it.

"BAKA! I thought you said you remembered to pick it back up!" Ichigo looked at her, his hands frantically searching his jeans' pockets in vain.

"You two do realize that one of the most powerful men in the Gotei 13 is sleeping in the same house? What pray tell would you have done if I hadn't convinced him against storming in here himself after we found this in OUR BED?"

"We didn't go all the way on your bed; not like I have a death wish! But I was sure I didn't leave any evidence." Ichigo protested while lightly punching himself beside the head, punishing himself for his stupidity.

"I'll kill you before Nii-sama gets to you, BAKA. How could you do something so stupid?"

"It's not all my fault! It was your idiot idea to start seducing me while we were in there looking for that CD of mine you lost! So quit acting so innocent princess!"

"Shut up!" Rukia shouted as she hurled another Chappy pillow at Ichigo's head. Hisana was losing her patience; she could also start feeling the dinner they had earlier threating to make a reappearance on top of it all. Not already…

She clutched her stomach and the fingers of her other hand pinched the bridge between her eyes, all the while there were Chappy pillows flying all over the room... Their shouting was getting louder and it wasn't helping her feel any better. The two bickering teenagers halted their pillow tossing when one accidentally went off course and hit an unsuspecting Hisana square in the face. This was the first time in a long time that Hisana's patience had run out completely and was on the verge of screaming at the first thing that moved.

"ENOUGH!" Her voice sounded so authoritative, that it even scared herself a little. I don't think I've ever done that in front of Rukia…
She was starting to feel faint and dinner was definitely not sitting well with her, but she had to finish this matter first.

"Ichigo time to go home. Rukia, we'll talk in the morning… I'm not telling Byakuya so consider yourselves lucky for now. Get going." She said in Ichigo's direction when she saw that he was still sitting on the floor being petrified.

"Y-yes ma'am!" He bolted off the floor and grabbed the rest of his clothes, hastily kissing Rukia on the lips before heading out the door Hisana held open for him. She looked at Rukia's guilty face and started feeling bad for losing her patience so easily. She winked at her with half a smile before heading out after Ichigo, she didn't see Rukia's reaction after that since she was suddenly in a hurry to find her way to her bathroom.

"Get going, but if you get caught I can't and won't help you any further." She said sternly at Ichigo before turning and heading into the hall in the opposite direction.

"Y-yeah thanks…" He mumbled before finally leaving.

As she made her way to the end of the hall, she found herself switching from a leisurely pace to outright running to her room. I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make it.

Her hand covering her mouth all the while, as if it would help keeping it in if she didn't make it in time. She ungracefully threw the door open and ignored her husband's questions, asking if she was alright. She bolted right into the bathroom, leaving the bathroom door wide open. Thank the gods… I made it. And with that thought she finally emptied the contents of her stomach, a pair of hands making their way through her hair, holding it back for her. His fingers slowly massaging her scalp and his heavenly voice mumbling soothing words as she wretched once again. I don't recall eating this much…

When it had finally passed her, she shifted to sit back against her husband's legs as he flushed and reached for some paper.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he sat down on the floor, moving her in between his legs and handing her the paper to wipe off her mouth.

"I'm fine… Dinner must not have agreed with me tonight." She said with a light chuckle as she made to get up and wash her mouth at the sink; however she never made it up due to the muscular arm around her waist holding her back.

"Don't lie to me." He was serious. She smiled back and kissed his cheek, whispering in his ear.

"I am not sick, now will you please let me rid myself of this foul taste in my mouth?" She said with a soft smile, he didn't seem convinced yet he reluctantly let her go and lifted himself off the floor. He helped her up and as soon as she was up, headed out the door without a word. The bedroom lights were switched off a moment later and she could hear him rustling the sheets. He doesn't believe a word of it, that's what I get for lying to him about my health for so many years.

I'm gonna have to tell him tonight…

She finished brushing her teeth and took one last look at herself in the mirror before shutting off the lights and heading off into the dark room, hopeful that she wouldn't trip on anything. As she kicked around to find the edge of the bed, she could sense by his breathing that he was not asleep yet. When she found the bed she got on and instead of crawling over to her side of the bed, she crawled over to him and straddled his sleeping form. He was lying on his stomach and thus his back was beneath her. He groaned slightly as she shifted her weight and moved her head to place soft kisses over his muscular back. Moving her way up with every kiss, moving his hair away from his face as she reached his neck and cheek. After the last kiss on his cheek, she moved her arms under his armpits and wrapped them around his shoulders.

"I'm not sick, I'm pregnant." She whispered in his ear.
