Author's Note: It's been a long while my babies! I missed you; I literally had to re-read all my chapters to remember what was going on before I wrote this. So if it seems a little out of flow with the rest, let me know!

Side Note: To whoever reviewed my story with, "I have a feeling that you haven't watched Bleach..." I would like to inform you that I have watched Bleach. I own Season 1, 2, 4, & 5 on disc (Season three is in Volume's on disc). So technically I haven't watched all of Bleach… But the characters I am writing about in this fic I have seen enough of bleach to write about them. At least I think so. I'm sorry you don't seem to like my fic, but I can't expect everyone to like it I have accepted that. But to answer your statement I have watched Bleach.

On a lighter note: Here's the next chapter, and to keep all of you up to par I expect this story to have as many as six more chapters. I have them outlined already so hopefully you will bear with me as I try my best to finish what I started literally years ago! ENJOY! And review at your hearts content! I love hearing from all of you!

Disclaimer: If i owned bleach, there wouldn't be a disclaimer.

CHAPTER 10

Another shower later…

"We can't just cancel Kuchiki, she asked you a week ago and you already told her we would be there."

Byakuya came out of the bathroom; towel in hand, drying his silky black hair. He truly was thee sight to see; the water dripping down his shoulders, gradually making its way over every curve of his rippling chest. Ichigo trailed a stream of the water that had gone down the middle of his abs and had landed on the towel that had regrettably covered one of his favorite parts of his body.

I want you so badly right now… Ichigo thought to himself. He couldn't help but take in this perfect image in front of him. His eyes couldn't look any where but at Byakuya. It's like he was in a trance; or so he thought, he was pulled out of his day dream abruptly. "Hmm?"

"She really won't care, i'll tell her i have too many case files." Looking for a response; he looked up, Ichigo wasn't paying attention. Byakuya took this as his cue to get out of a dinner he really would rather not attend. He walked over to the bed, eyes staring at him dreamily. Hungry for more. With one finger he tilted Ichigo's head; they were looking into each other's eyes, "Ichigo," he purred, "Wouldn't you rather stay here?" Moving himself closer he gently laid Ichigo back on the bed slowly. Leaning his head in running his tongue along Ichigo's chest, along his neck; staying there for a brief second to nibble at the perfectly tanned skin, he moved to look directly in Ichigo's hazy eyes with his devious ones. The tips of their noses nearly touching now; tilting his head he gave Ichigo a passionate kiss, nipping at Ichigo's bottom lip and with a gentle bite and pull he pulled back slightly only to whisper into Ichigo's ear, "with me?"

"Mmph," Ichigo couldn't suppress a slight slip into pleasure; bringing Byakuya back to his lips, moaning.

Oh, fuck. You're perfect… I could stay here forever. I will stay here forever. Ichigo felt the heat of Byakuya on him, rubbing him in just the right ways.

"Fuck…" Ichigo hissed. He thought about it briefly. To indulge in this godly man who was treating him all the right ways, who had made him come, four? No, five times already today! It isn't even five yet!

"No…" Ichigo moaned. He turned his head away from Byakuya, struggling to release himself from there euphoria. "No, we already said yes! Besides, I want your sister to like me. Allowing you to indulge in… well in my ass is not the way to do it Kuchiki."

Byakuya was left dumbfounded on his bed. He seriously thought he was going to get out of this dinner. He lazily lifted himself off the bed and sauntered back into the bathroom to put some clothes on.

*Knock Knock* "So, uh… I don't really have any nice clothes. I mean… well, I don't have any clothes at all really… Do you have something? Like something I could borrow maybe?" Ichigo hesitated in the entry way of the closet; laughing nervously under his breath like he does.

Byakuya walked over to Ichigo, gently he pulled his wrist to his hip, landing his free hand to cup the side of Ichigo's face. He gently kissed him once on the lips then, a softer kiss on his forehead; pulling back with a gentle smile, "Come on in, allow me."

Byakuya pretended like Ichigo was a doll of sorts. Not allowing Ichigo to help in any way at all Byakuya dressed him. Starting with a pair of silky white/ grey boxers, which of course Byakuya took great care in pleasure doing. He then put Ichigo in one of the darker wash blue jeans he had. He found a white tank top to dress Ichigo in little did he know that Ichigo would shiver the entire time Byakuya slid it over his body. It must have been the way his fingertips lightly grazed over Ichigo's sides. Byakuya looked for a few minutes but finally found a black, long-sleeve, button-up shirt that matched the only pair of black dress shoes Byakuya had that fit Ichigo. When he was finished buttoning the shirt he pulled Ichigo in for a kiss… or rather a few kisses. He couldn't help that Ichigo looked; well fine as hell, in the clothes Byakuya chose.

After dressing himself and combing his hair Byakuya finally fish tail braided the top half of his hair. Then the two of them were off for what they considered to be their first date; with a tag-along.

While they have dinner, we will…

*Click Click*

"Mmph!" Gin smiled to himself at his silent victory. Opening the door he allowed a team of six to enter the Kuchiki home; uninvited.

"You four cover this floor and we will go cover the loft!"

Gin watched as two people quickly went upstairs, two went into the bedroom, one went out the back door and the other one remained in the living room. They all quietly and thoroughly installed several undetectable cameras throughout the home. Not an angle unseen by the cameras and not a sound unheard.

"The bathroom, closet and bedroom are all finished. I'm turning them on now." The man did as he said. Typing things into his computer and one by one images popped up on the screen; one covering the closet, two covering the bathroom and two more in the bedroom.

"The greenhouse, living area and kitchen are all finished." Two other men said as they joined the group around the screen. Four more images popped up on the screen; the entire greenhouse. Two more followed showing the living area and one more showing the kitchen.

"We're done up here." The last of the group came to the group just as three more images popped up on the screen; the loft.

"Thorough. Well done. Now pack up and leave nothing suspicious behind. When you are finished meet me in the hall for your payment," Gin smiled his typical gruesome smile and left. Locking the door behind him waiting for everyone to come into the hall; as they came out the door Gin handed them there payment. The last man to exit handed Gin the computer, told him how to look through the video files and other such things, "As you requested, double the sum; goodnight gentlemen." Gin closed the computer and left the building.

As he got into his car he picked up the car phone and dialed. "It's done, sir."

At the restaurant…

"I can't believe how many parents in this town allow their children to play with money! Seriously, if you think that your baby isn't going to think something so small is edible then why bother having a parent?" Rukia babbled. She was very upset with the number of patients she had today. Twelve of them had swallowed something they weren't really supposed to swallow. One had gotten something small and unrecognizable stuck in their nose, along with a couple dozen other normal-ish cases.

Ichigo was trying to focus solely on Rukia and her problems at work, he was having a hard time avoiding the gazes from across the table. Those dark eyes seemed fixed on his every movement. He couldn't help thinking… This is nice. It's my first family dinner since mom died. Ichigo's expression changed. He looked a little lost concern crossed his face and was washed over with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong Ichigo? Is everything alright? If I upset you with something I said please excuse me. I don't really have a filter when I talk in front of my brother." Rukia seemed concerned that she had upset Ichigo.

"Ichigo…" Byakuya inquired. What's wrong?

"Hmm… Oh." Ichigo scratched his head. He laughed under his breath hesitantly. "No, Rukia your wonderful, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about my mom." Ichigo looked to Byakuya then. Ichigo told him everything about them. He never got around to telling him how he ended up on the streets though.

"Your mom?" Rukia asked. She was a little confused. Why would he look sad if he was thinking about his mom?

"She uh… Well she died when I was little." Ichigo could see the remorse in Byakuya's eyes. Eyes filled with care and concern. "She was the best mom any kid could ask for, both of my parents were great! But, when she died… I don't know. My dad just couldn't cope I guess. I think for him, he loved her so much. Anyway, he left us after she died. He just didn't come home one day." Ichigo saw then; that click, that flicker, Byakuya had finally understood the entirety of Ichigo's life. Everything that had happened to him; how everything had happened, it all seemed to fit together now like a puzzle that hadn't been finished.

"Oh, Ichigo. I'm so sorry, she sounds wonderful! I'm sure if she could see you now she would be so proud of the person you've become!" Rukia smiled!

Byakuya knew all too well that Rukia had just said all the wrong things. She didn't realize what she was saying. She did not know about them.

Ichigo looked pained for a moment but; out of respect for Byakuya's sister, he put on his charming smile, "Thank you, Rukia. Really, you don't know how happy it makes me to hear that!"

Byakuya looked toward Ichigo waiting for him to tell him he really was okay. To show him with those beautiful amber eyes of his that he was truly happy as he said he was.

Ichigo felt eyes on him, he looked to Byakuya. His eyes were full of love, they were grateful eyes, patient eyes, happy eyes. They lost themselves in each other's looks for what seemed a small infinity. Then suddenly they were pulled back into the reality around them.

"What's going on you two?" Rukia propped her head up with her hand and just glared at the both of them.

Ichigo looked lost and at a loss for what to do, so naturally he looked at Byakuya for guidance.

"What do you mean Rukia?" Byakuya asked in his driest tone possible.

"You two fucked didn't you?" Rukia was leaning across the table now looking Ichigo dead in the eyes. She knew he would be an easier egg to crack. "You've been making eyes at each other all night. What did you think I wouldn't notice?" Rukia turned her head to Byakuya. His head was turned. His eyes fixed on some other topic. She turned back to Ichigo and leaned in further.

He's starting to sweat… Hmmph. Looking Ichigo dead in the eye she said softly but bluntly, "Did you give it to him good Ichigo?"

Ichigo jolted and his face flushed of any color; his cheeks were dusted in a light pink.

"Or was it the other way around? Ichigo? Did my brother fuck you?!" Ichigo's face went red. "Gotcha!" She turned back to Byakuya.

"Rukia, what is it you wish to know? Were we involved? Yes. We were, it was nice. Now drop it." Byakuya fixed his eyes on her; eyes that told her to back off now while she still had it good.

"Aww, how sweet, I knew the first time he came to the hospital you liked him! You were just to upset about his disappearance not to like him!" Rukia smiled to herself. She knew Byakuya was giving her a grimace… she didn't care.

Ichigo shot up with wonder. He was upset about me leaving the hospital? He liked me then? So this entire time… He fucking got me thinking it was me who was all crushed out! Oh I am so topping when we get home Kuchiki.

Back at the mansion…

"So it's done then?"

"Yes sir." Gin walked over to the desk. He placed the laptop in front of his boss. "There are fifteen cameras all together. Nothing will be missed. Whatever happens in that house you will see." Gin showed him how to use the laptop and how to do damn near anything with all the live feed cameras.

"Wonderful, you may leave." Jin didn't peel his eyes off the screen. He made the feed to the kitchen; where the front door was, full screen. He then waited.

So, I'm reading this over editing it... I just don't know... Help me i'm so confused. If this was awful. Tell me. If it was good. Tell me. I need some serious reviews before I do the next chapter because I'm having second thoughts on my writing here... ughh. Help me you beautiful angels! (This is when I dream of having a Beta)
