Chapter 10! = )
Grimmjow woke up pissed. He angrily grabbed his alarm and threw it against the wall, hearing it shatter as it eventually became silent. He stayed in bed thinking about last night. Nel and him did not talk the whole ride, she only spoke to tell him to drop her at her home. When she got out of the car he saw her stand still for a few moments before walking towards her house. He angrily pushed down hard on the gas speeding back to his penthouse.
Forcing himself out of bed as he walked to the bathroom to get ready for the morning. Getting into the shower, feeling the hot water lightly scold his body. After he was done, he heard his intercom ringing a call from the front desk. He quickly dried himself and put on briefs rushing to get the call from the wall.
"What the fuck is it?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Jeagerjacquez, but there is a Ms. Oderschvank here to see you."
"Fine, she can come up," he said flatly. He waited until he heard the knock at the door. He opened it to reveal a wide-eyed Nel staring at his bare chest, reddening as she hesitantly looked up. She quickly walked in as he slammed the door, making her flinch and stare at him sternly.
"I would have called but you know how it is, not having a phone."
"What the fuck! You came here to start is that it?!" He shouted as he saw her put her arms to her sides clenching her fist tightly.
"No, I wanted to talk," she said angrily.
He walked to his living room as he gestured for her to sit, she nodded as she sat down. Heading toward the bar grabbing a glass as he poured himself a drink. He made to put away the bottle before he decided to take the bottle along with glass in hand. Making his way to the couch, placing the bottle on the table as he slouched down with his cup. He saw her glance at the bottle and then give him a critical look as she shook her head, not feeling like mentioning to him that it was too early in the morning.
"Well Talk!" He sipped his drink as he glanced over at her with wet strands of hair half covering his eyes.
"I.. I wanted to apologize for not listening to you. I totally ignored you trying to avoid that place for good reason."
Grimmjow glanced at her his brows creased forward, "And..."
She pushed a loose strand behind her ear as she exhaled. "I also wanted to say how you showed Kugo that you were unsure of yourself, when you let your jealous actions escalate to what you did last night."
"Unsure of myself? BullShit! Did you not hear what that asshole was saying about you?" He drank his cup and reached for the bottle for a refill when Nel grabbed it and as well as the cup in hand, casting them aside. She settled herself on the table in front of him, blocking his reach. He sneered and was surprised at what she had done.
"I heard him and I told you I can handle myself, this is not the first time a guys said things to me, in fact they say worse."
"Let me know, I'll punch them in the mouth."
"That's the point Grimmjow, you don't think Fuyumi's words hurt or made me jealous. It did but I showed her that it didn't get to me. I knew that I was better than her and she tried to upset me, I just ignored her. I only intervened because she was verbally abusing my friend who is sweet and kind but also critical of herself. Kugo seems like the type to say things like that to girls all the time, has he done it in the past?"
"Of course, but that was different," he fired back.
"Why?"
"Because.." He roughed up his hair with his hands as he yelled, "You think I cared about the girls I was with, they were there for eye candy and sleep with."
"Unless you don't trust me, which upsets me, " she could tell his jaw started to tense up as he stared not saying anything. She also stared for awhile, as she meekly sighed.
"So is that it?" She said as she stood up continuing to talk, " so if you think that I'm that type of girl Grimmjow, then let me just pay a visit to Kugo and let him fuck my brains out, " she yelled. She headed for the door making her way to open, when it was instantly slammed shut by his hand. She turned around to see an angry and distraught man, she had nowhere to go as she nervously stood firm.
She heard him punch the wall hard in anger as she jumped a little. He looked up to find her eyes starting to water as he held her face. Realizing she was starting to cry, he stared at her questioningly.
"I do trust you Nel, it's that fucker I don't trust. You make me want to be different, you mean more to me and he knew that. You just make me completely insane half the time and I don't really know what to do with myself. I never really been in this type of situation so the hell if I know what to do." He grunted as he held her face. " I know your not the type to do that shit with Ginjo. Just the thought of him touching you," he punched the wall again with more force. "Deep down it's probably because I'm surprised with a piece of shit like me, " he said slightly grinning.
She smiled as she grabbed his face towards her and kissed him, "You're my piece of shit."
He laughed as he picked her up, with her legs around his waist. He began to bruise her lips with forced kisses, "Mmmm, but what happened to me paying a visit to Ginjo?" She said teasingly.
"Your pushing it Neliel, I'll be fucking your brains out." She giggled and moaned as they both made their way to the bedroom. She laughed as he threw her on his bed, but she continued to laugh as he stared at her questioningly.
"You, Ichigo, and Fuyumi," she laughed again shaking her head in disbelief. "I mean what a bitch and you guys repeatedly?"
He growled bending down to her eye level sternly, " Are you trying to get rid of my hard on?"
"I'm sorry."
"Yeah, you keep saying that shit, " he said not believing her as he laid back pissed.
"Awww! I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you." He eyed her suspiciously as he saw her lift herself up kissing the top of his chest making her way down. Pushing down his briefs as he continued to stare at her, she pulled down until his erection was out and in full salute. She grinned as if she was up to no good, grabbing his member and lifted herself until she was above his erection. She descended taking him into her mouth. Grimmjow closed his eyes feeling the incredible mouth of his apologetic girlfriend.
Byakuya sat at a board members meeting, going over the final paperwork of Sora Inoue becoming partner. Rukia sat near him on his left side, with his other colleagues sat around going over the proper legalities before signing and making it official.
Everyone at the meeting table heard a commotion outside as they looked amongst themselves curiously, only the eldest Kuchiki seemed to pay no mind.
"I'm sorry Mr. Abarai, but you can't go in there, there's a meeting, " they heard the assistant say before the door was roughly kicked open. The red haired man stood, staring angrily searching for someone as he finally fixed his eyes on his soon to be brother- in-law.
"Byakuya! You got some nerve, you piece of shit." He looked fired up ready for a fight.
"Renji!?" Rukia yelled out wide-eyed and confused.
"It's alright! Please, gentlemen if you could excuse us, family business," the eldest Kuchiki said unfazed by the abrupt outburst. Everyone stared at each other nodding as they grabbed their things.
"Sora can stay, everyone else can get the fuck out of here," the red haired seeth, glaring at them as the employees hastily walked out avoiding his stare.
"You will refrain from using such language, Mr. Abarai."
"Mr. Kuchiki .. umm is there anything I can do for you?" The small assistant said shaking. Before she could get an answer the red haired man spoke, " Sorry sweetie, but not right at this damn moment," he slammed the door.
"Renji!? What the hell has gotten into you?" Rukia yelled, noticing that she raised her voice and looked to her brother apologetically, "Sorry Nii-sama."
"Renji, what has gotten you this upset?" Sora asked with concern, watching the angry stares from the red-haired man aimed at the calm collected Byakuya.
"This dictating son of a bitch is why I'm upset. I'm already pissed off at these ridiculous bodyguards you have with Rukia and then having men follow me 24/7. I put up with it because I loved and respected Rukia, I endured it and went along with it. But I will not have you dictating my career choices." He yelled at the calm man.
Rukia still confused, looked at her brother, " What does he mean, Nii-sama?"
"I'm only thinking about what's best for you, Rukia."
"Why don't you ask her what she wants."
"Nii-sama?" She eyed her brother as he remained silent when she nervously questioned him.
"Your brother was giving me a choice, give up my chain of tattoo parlors so that I can work here, or.." Renji paused as he banged the table startling both Sora and his fiance. "The wedding is off and I can forget about seeing Rukia, is that right? Did I leave anything out?" He eyed the calm stoic man who's eyes were on him. Renji continued to speak with a meaning grin on his face, " I'm sorry about the guy you sent to bring the paperwork and explain this to me, I sort of lost it and punch him in the damn face. How dare you not have the balls to tell me to mine."
Renji upset that this man continued to just stare and say nothing like it didn't mean anything. He aggressively walked up to him grabbing his collar with both hands as he shouted, "Say something you asshole!"
"Renji, Stop." Rukia yelled, but it was too late, her fiance didn't react in time to a fist that connected hard to his chest as he stumbled back.
"Nii-sama, please," she continued to cry out.
Renji even more heated walked back up to Byakuya grinning, "You wanna try that shit again."
Byakuya made to punch Renji but was blocked by a strong arm and a hard punch to his side. He quickly countered with a swift kick to Renji's legs, making the red haired men lose balance and fall.
"My sister means everything to me and if protecting her from making a wrong decision, then I'll do anything within my power to prevent that. I don't expect a low life dog to understand." Byakuya said looking down at his opponent on the floor, nursing his side.
"Nii-sama!?"Rukia yelled so everyone could hear, irritated that she had been ignored, she had her arms wrapped around her with tears cascading slowly down her face. "Do you strongly feel that I'm making a wrong choice in marrying Renji? I don't understand, we were all friends what happened, what changed?" She said through sobs.
Byakuya walked over to her, lifting her chin to stare into her eyes,"You! A Kuchiki deserves better, you deserve better."
She pushed his hand away gently as she began to talk, " Nii-sama! I have someone who loves me as much as I love him. If I were to ask him to give up anything to be with me, I know he would, but I would never ask him to do that because I love him."
Rukia was referring to how proud she was of Renji's accomplishments, from leaving his services from the Kuchiki Manor to pursue his dream of being a tattoo artist. He strived to be the best and became the best, having a slew of parlors all over Japan, having many talented artist wanting to work for him. He became so popular many pop idols and famous movie stars came to him regularly for a tattoo. She was so proud of him. She whipped her tears as she continued to speak to her brother.
"I thought we talked about this and straighten things out, do you still not want me to be with Renji?" She looked at him heartbroken and confused.
"Rukia, I'm okay with whoever you choose but if he can't sacrifice something to make a life that you need his line of work is frowned upon and can't give you the things you're used to. He is selfish and undeserving."
Rukia still clasping her brother's hand as she nodded in understanding," I understand Nii-sama," she said walking towards her fiance helping him up. "I really did not want to do this but I have no choice."
Renji, who looked sadden nodded as well, "I understand Rukia. Do what you have to do, I'll stand by whatever decision you make." He wiped the tears that she wasn't able to get rid of as they both smiled at one another.
"I love you so much and this hurts me but," she stood by Renji and looked at her brother shattered. "You left me no choice, Nii-sama. I said I would be with him with or without your approval. It hurts that you went behind my back to make a life altering decision for me. I'm sorry but I'm moving in with Renji." Byakuya's demeanor changed from calm to shock.
"Rukia, I was thinking of your future."
"You forgot to think of my heart."She made her way to leave when Renji stopped to turn to Sora who seemed to be battling something internally.
"Orihime may not have a personality like Rukia but she seems like a girl who's strong-willed and determined in her own way, even if she is hurting inside."
Sora looked at Renji with confusion and displeasure, "Don't presume to know my sister, if you'll excuse me. Byakuya we will finish our meeting later, I need to be somewhere." He bowed to both Renji and Rukia, then bowed to Byakuya making his way to leave.
"He's another stubborn asshole, " he looked at the older Kuchiki who stared out the window ignoring the couple, Renji looked at his longtime friend with sympathy.
"Let's go Renji," Rukia said, he could hear the strain in her voice, he had been both happy and sad about her decision. Rukia's choice. Happy that she had choose him but he felt her pain knowing it came with a price, of her losing someone else she loved.
Sora drove frantically to Tatsuki's house, moments ago he was at Nel's place of soon found out from Jushiro that Orihime had not been staying with them the past few days, and Nel had been with her boyfriend. He knocked at the door impatiently, when he saw a tall spiky haired gentlemen who's face looked familiar, walking from his car towards the door.
"Sora?"
Sora looked and it dawned on him he was looking at the friend he remembered as a skinny boy, but now had a muscular build. "Shuuhei? Wow you've grown, but what happened to you?" He was referring to the bruises on his face.
"Yeah, long story," he laughed giving him a quickly patted hug as he took out the keys to open the door.
"What brings you here?" Shuuhei asked Sora letting him into the house, just then Tatsuki came out with a stunned look as she hid back trying to get to her room. She was blocked by Ulquiorra who noticed his brother standing with Shuuhei with both confused expressions.
"I'm here to see Tatsuki, judging from her trying to avoid me she knows exactly why I'm here." He crossed his arms looking sternly at her. Shuuhei looked at his sister who looked everywhere as she avoided the question.
"Tatsuki?" Her brother interjected.
"I.. I don't know," she said nervously.
"If Orihime is not with Nel or you, where is she?" Sora said angrily staring at the girl.
"Maybe she's at the hospital," Tatsuki said avoiding his stare again.
"Nice try, I called Restu Unohana and she says she's not there."
"Tats, now you're upsetting me, would you let Sora know where his sister is," Shuuhei glared at her crossing his arms.
"I.. I can't, " she sounded desperate.
"I know," Ulquiorra said calmly avoiding Tatsuki's angry stare.
"Ulquiorra, you said you wouldn't say anything," she said hurt.
"I also said Sora would find out eventually, he has a right to know," he said to her as she sat down angrily.
"So you knew Orihime was not at Nel's?" Sora asked his brother confused.
"Yes, I was aware of it last night when Tatsuki told me," he stated flatly never keeping his eyes on his brother.
" So where is she?" He said irritated.
"Kurosaki's"
"She's with Yuzu and Karin?" He felt relief swell throughout him until his younger brother nodded 'no'.
Sora looked upset beyond belief as he gritted his teeth, " If you could excuse me I need to go."
"I'm coming with you," Ulquiorra stated as Sora turned to nod as he opened the door to exit.
"So am I," Tatsuki said.
"Oh, no you don't," Hisagi grabbed her, " You let them sort it out between their sister, you stay out of it."
She looked to Ulquiorra who nodded in understanding as he spoke, "Tatsuki, I'll call you."
When the door closed her brother let her go, " It's not fair, I want to be there for Orihime."
"She can't always have you defending her, she needs to deal with things on her own."
She nodded in understanding as she looked at her brother's bruises.
"Are you going to tell me what happened?"
"Sure," they both sat on the couch as Shuuhei recounted the last few days with his sister.
Orihime had awoke to find a missing Ichigo and a note on the bed, where he should have been.
I'll be right back, I just need to do something as a surprise and also left breakfast on the stove.
Love Ichigo
She felt like she could fly out of her body as she bounced on the bed, realizing she still just wore her panties. She giggled running to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. After, she walked into Ichigo's closet finding a gray t-shirt that hung over her thighs as she put it on. Even though it was washed she could still smell him on the shirt. She headed towards the kitchen as she heated up the breakfast and began to eat.
There was a loud knock on the door as she jumped, standing up as she replied, "Did you forget your keys, Kurosaki-kun?"
"Hime! open the door!" Hearing Sora's angry voice, she froze unable to move.
"Sora?"
"Yes, Hime. Open the door," hearing his voice again, confirmed that it was him. She quickly willed herself to head to the door as she nervously opened it. Sora walked in upset with Ulquiorra following close behind.
"Ichigo," Sora yelled.
"He isn't here at the moment, " she whispered.
Sora went over to her and hugged her tight, "Are you okay? I've been worried about you."
"I'm okay, Sora." He smiled at her but his demeanor slowly changed to anger once he saw her attire.
He walked to the guest bedroom to find the bed unslept in, then made his way to Ichigo's room to find the bed sheets sprawled and unmade.
"Where have you been sleeping, Orihime?" He asked, never facing in her direction, feeling his insides start to turn.
"Ichigo had me sleep in the guest room since I got here, but last night I.."she blushed nervously and couldn't finish what she wanted to say.
"Did he.?" Sora couldn't finish his words as Ulquiorra took it upon himself to finish his sentence.
"Did he take advantage of you?" He asked as he saw his brother to preoccupied staring at Ichigo's bed.
"No, he didn't want to do anything, we just laid in each other's arms."
"Don't lie to me, Orihime," Sora shouted at first but his words ended low noticing he had frightened her.
"I'm not lying, Sora! Honest!"
"Stop trying to protect him," he saw her face as she started to tear up.
"Let's go Orihime," he walked by her grabbing her hand but she didn't move.
"No, I'm staying here, I.. I love him and he does too, " she stood firm.
"I do believe you do have strong feelings for him I'm not questioning that Hime but your gonna get hurt."
"Ichigo is not like that Sora, you above all should know, you were once best friends."
"Yeah a best friend who knew all about his female conquests, do you think I want my own sister be on that list?"
Just then they heard the door slam shut to find an upset Ichigo, it seemed the door had been left opened, he had heard the voices mainly Orihime sounding upset.
"I was worried to see the door opened and Orihime sounded distraught, to think she had just gotten over being upset." He eyed Sora who stood near Orihime as Ulquiorra stood there quiet, eyes fixed on him just observing. He walked past the men placing bags he had been holding on the table, before he walked towards a weeping Orihime.
"Orihime, are you okay?" He lifted her face to find her trying to smile as she nodded 'yes.'
"Would you kindly get you hands off my sister, " Sora said as he gently grabbed Orihime and stood between her and Ichigo.
"I wanted to see if she was okay and secondly your sister has a mouth," he growled out.
"She's blinded by a crush that your taking advantage of, I know about your past Ichigo."
"It's exactly that, in the past you think Orihime doesn't know about my bad choices. They didn't mean anything I told you all this Sora why are you being such an asshole, not only to me but to her as well."
"Don't you dare, I sacrificed so much for her. I won't let you get the chance to hurt her."
"I would travel through hell and back again for her, before I would ever cause her pain."
Both men stood towards each other face to face, their anger both not letting up.
"Stop!," she whispered as she felt everyone's stares on her. "You don't have to burden yourself anymore on my account, Sora. You don't have to sacrifice anymore for my sake."
"Orihime, I didn't mean it like that you were never a burden, you mean everything to me."
"I know that's not what you meant," she smiled which made Sora smile with relief, " but you've done so much for me. You lost someone you loved for years but you found her again. Please pursue it and don't hesitate, I didn't want you to lose her again on my account. You deserve to be happy and please believe me when I say I sound someone I want to spend the rest of my life with,"
Sora looked confused, as did Ulquiorra as she moved from behind Sora to stand next to Ichigo taking his hand in hers.
"He asked me to marry him," they both looked to each other, gray met amber, as they both smiled.
"Damn you, Ichigo, you lied about sleeping with her before and got her pregnant!" He rushed at Ichigo grabbing him and pushing him roughly against the wall.
"Sora calm down, it's not like that. I told you we haven't gone that far." Ichigo yelled out, he stopped talking to react to a fist that was heading towards him, he grabbed Sora's arm as he pushed him off making the older man fall.
"Sora would you fucking listen." Ichigo said but he didn't have a chance to gather himself, as a leg aiming towards his chest that belonged to the other brother. He guarded the leg kick in time as he held his opponent's leg, " Trying to catch me off guard, don't try that shit with me," Ulquiorra surprised reacted instantly as he used his other leg to twist and hit Ichigo across the face.
"Is that what you were referring to, by catching you off guard," Ulquiorra said watching the orange man pick himself up, holding his jaw as he grinned.
"Nice kick, let me try."
Ichigo got up ignoring the protest of Orihime as he aimed a fake punch, to surprise him with a knee to the bent over, then felt Ichigo's hard right hit him square in the jaw making him collapse. The green eyed man picked himself up still on his knees feeling anger as he saw Ichigo's slight grin.
"Had enough?" He heard his opponent say amusingly as Ulquiorra's eyes widen, fully standing as he headed towards the orange man but was blocked by his sister.
"Please stop," she yelled looking at both men who were ready to go another round until they saw the tears stream heavily down her face.
"Do I not deserve to be happy, am I being selfish for wanting to?" She said through tears, after a few moments she stopped without saying another word as she made her way to the guest bedroom. After awhile, she came back all dressed up in a new outfit and her bag in hand.
"Let's go Sora," she said softly.
"Orihime?" She heard Ichigo's confused voice as she looked at him and quickly turned away. She choked back the tears the she felt were coming.
"It's better this way, Ichigo."
"For who? Who is it better for? Not me, especially not for you. Orihime don't let them..." He sounded like a man angry and hurt as she interrupted him.
"No one's making me I made my choice."
He made to walk her way when he felt a hand grab his arm, " She's made her choice, Ichigo. Leave her alone." Sora said.
Infuriated, Ichigo shrugged off Sora's hand, " Get your damn hands off of me. Orihime, if this is what you want then I'll respect your decision." He said through gritted teeth still staring at Sora.
When she saw Ichigo glance at her again, she shook her head with a huge forced smile , "Sorry for being so rude and leaving and not staying for the... surprise? " she said sheepishly as she remembered the bags he left on the table. She turned heading towards them, very curious to see what he had brought. She made to pass him when she felt his hand grab her arm firmly, she turned to look at him to find Ichigo's eyes downcast.
"Please...Please don't Orihime." He looked up with a pained expression.
"But ..Kurosaki-kun you woke up really early to go out of your way, the least I can do is see what it is." He looked at her with sadden eyes that hurt her heart as he nodded letting her go.
Nervously she giggled afraid to see what it was as she carefully made her way to the bags. She saw a bag from Choco cakes as she smiled, "Mmm you were going to spoil me with dessert." She giggled again but heard nothing from the man that was unable to stare in her direction. It was then she continue to look through the bags, that a small bag in particular caught her attention. The small black bag was from Hibiscus Jewelers, she reached in to find a small black box. Looking wide eyed as she turned to stare at the orange haired man again who noticed her staring as he looked down again.
Her stomach started to churn as her heart started to beat louder. She finally found the strength to open the box, she saw a beautiful princess cut diamond. It was so stunningly gorgeous, she was about to place it on her finger. Quickly realizing what she was doing, she put it back as she felt the tears start to pour down her face. She ran past Ichigo and her brothers as she headed for the door, "I'm so sorry, Kurosaki-kun." He heard the hurt in her words as she saw her disappear out of his apartment, Sora and Ulquiorra followed soot. Sora hesitated, stopping to look at Ichigo to say something but changed his mind leaving him to wallow in his pain as he closed the door.
They made it to the car after a quiet elevator ride down. Orihime opened the back seat which was unusual as she loved sitting in the front. Ulquiorra sat at the passengers side as Sora made his way to the driver's seat. He looked at the rearview mirror seeing her silently cry and wiping her eyes.
"So what was the surprise," Ulquiorra asked without hesitation, it was something Sora wanted to know as well but couldn't find the heart to ask. He saw her look up as she wiped at a tear, " Just an engagement ring... nothing really." She started to smile but it soon failed from turning into one as more tears started to fall down as she covered her face with her hands.
He felt helpless, he was just protecting her but it only caused her pain. He always made the hard decisions in their lives but in the long run he found that it was for the best. Why did this one hurt so much? He stood strong and felt it was the right thing to do as he turned the key to the car, driving off with muffled cries behind them.
"I didn't get my ass kicked. Rangiku stopped before I knocked him out."
"Whatever, how many times do you have to hit a guy before he's knocked out, it should of been on the first hit," Tatsuki grinned.
"There's no talking to you, " Shuuhei said irritated as he told her everything to have her laugh at his face. He started to get up when he felt her arm grab him.
"Okay, Okay, I'm sorry I'll be nice.." She stared at him as he sat back down, " So it's that pretty blonde Rangiku you have the hots for?"
"Ah.. Yeah. You can say that I've had it for the longest time."
"but she was with that guy..umm Gin I met at the party."
"Yeah," he sneered.
"Look she's confused, I mean you may have implied she was a whore but I'm sure she'll forgive you."
He gave her a look as he got up, " Your not helping."
"Where are you going?" She asked curiously.
"To the bathroom, do you mind?"
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes as he disappeared.
As she waited she saw a flashing light on the kitchen table belonging to a cellphone, it was her brother's phone. She tiptoed to the phone, displaying the screen going straight to contacts. She found her name "Rangiku" as she dialed it looking up in the direction of hallway. It rang for a few minutes until her voice abruptly picked up,sounding non to pleased.
"I'm not in the mood to talk Shuuhei."
"Wait, Wait, Don't hang up."
"Who is this? Are you one of his floozies?"
"Eww, no! It's Tatsuki, his sister."
"Okay, did he have you call me that cowardice son of a bitch."
"Actually no, he doesn't know I'm calling, he sort of in the restroom. Look, he's pissed at himself for ruining his chance with you."
"Oh...really?" She sounded intrigued.
"I mean yeah but I don't think he should beat himself up that much it's not entirely his fault."
"So he told you what happened?"
"Yeah, how he let some guy beat the shit out of him."
"That's not entirely accurate."
"You know you won't find anyone as good as him."
She was silent on the other line as she sighed.
"Shit where the hell is my phone. Tats did you …. Who are you talking to?" He realized it was his phone as he yelled, " Who are you talking to with my damn phone, Tats?" Tatsuki froze and quickly turned and raised the phone to him grinning.
He quickly grabbed his phone as he angrily said, " Hello?"
"Hi, your little sister is real cute and must really care about you."
Realizing who it was he glared at Tatsuki, " Rangiku, sorry I .. I didn't know that she was calling you."
"No, that's fine I'm glad she did, I've been meaning to call you. I really didn't like how things were left."
"Yeah, me neither."
"Gin took a morning flight to the states, I'm really sorry for forcing you to drop the case. Gin is still someone close to me."
"He's no longer a person of interest, I've set my eyes on something bigger."
"That's good! So...how ya been?"
"Like shit! I want you to know I honestly didn't use you Rangiku."
"I know, I overreacted a little."
"A little?" He laughed.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for treating you the way I did all those years."
"I'm sorry for implying that you were a high class street walker, that was really shitty of me."
"I just thought you saw me that way."
"No, I never saw you that way"
"BULLSHIT, Ulquiorra! Put her on the phone," Shuuhei heard his sister yelling on her phone.
"What the hell does that mean she doesn't want to speak to anyone, put Orihime on the phone."
"Someone sounds upset, seems bad if the sweet Orihime doesn't want to talk to anyone," Rangiku mused over the phone.
"Yeah let me find out hold on," Shuuhei said eyeing his sister.
"Just tell her... Never mind you screwed up shit anyways. Bye!" She hung up the phone as she shouted out.
"Yo, what the hell happened?"
"I told you I should of gone. Orihime is so upset she doesn't want to talk to me, ME. Ulquiorra won't give me the full details of what happened, like he's avoiding something."
"Well, Orihime should of never spent her days at Ichigo's without telling Sora."
"What?!" Hisago heard a yell on the other line.
"Rangiku?"
"Orihime slept over Ichigo's? What did I miss? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"It seems Orihime has feelings for Ichigo, since she was younger and he feels the same towards her."
"Aww he's the mystery guy and here I thought he just had bad luck in his choice of women or secretly liked men." She giggled.
"Ummm.. Okay except Sora doesn't approve of the match. She stayed with Ichigo for a few nights, her brother found out and took her back him, hence her being upset."
"Awwww poor thing. I'll give Sora a piece of my mind when I see him. What are you doing tonight is it okay for you to come over?"
Shuuhei looked at his sister who seemed to be in tears which shocked him since she hardly ever cried.
"Rangiku, I need to be here for my sister she's in tears and upset."
"If Tatsuki doesn't mind can I come over there?"
"Tatsuki, can Rangiku come over?"
As if realizing she was being talked to she quickly wiped her eyes and said, " Of course."
"Sure Rangiku see you then."
"Okay see you there, " he clicked the phone then headed to his sister's side as she leaned into him giving each other a hug.
"I'm sure things will work out," he told her, she didn't answer for a moment before she shook her head.
"Are all men idiots or completely oblivious?"
"Sometimes," he said sarcastically hugging her.
"I'm serious, I so want to go over there and knock some sense into Sora and Ulquiorra. I can't believe them."
"You'll only make things worse, you have to see it from Sora's point of view. Ichigo's known for being a bachelor and well sleeping around. Finding out your sister is alone in his house, I don't blame him.
"I know but people change," she said under her breath.
"Yeah, that's true," he thought of himself and the women he had been with, but he just wanted one person and all the women in the world couldn't compare to her.
They sat there as he comforted her, he turned on the television as they fought for the remote. They sat there pigging out on snacks.
There was a knock on the door as Shuuhei got up and saw a familiar blonde at the peephole. He opened the door, she looked gorgeous with a pencil gray skirt and pink camisole shirt. He had the urge to grab her and take her right there and then, he controlled himself and settled for a quick kiss. She smiled and came in, " Wow, it's still the same I haven't been here since... sheesh a long time."
"Shuuhei's room is still the same!" Tatsuki grinned making her brother glare at her.
Rangiku saw where this was going, " I heard Sora that his brother has been spending his time at a certain girl's house."
Shuuhei looked at Tatsuki and realized when he came to visit she was alone in the house with him, " When I got here you were alone with him, has he been spending the night, when our parent's are out vacationing?"
"We've been studying."
"Studying, Bullshit."
"Whatever, I'm gonna go to my room."
"This isn't over Tatsuki," SLAM! He heard her door.
"Leave her alone, they are young, plus we were fooling around in here younger then them. I heard Ulquiorra is a good kid."
He contemplated on that, he knew she was right but it still irked him.
"You hungry?"
"No, I just ate. I'm just a little thirsty."
Shuuhei went in the kitchen to find a glass. "Water?"
"Sure," she stated as she continued to look around the house. Remembering her younger self walking through the halls, she found herself automatically walking into his room. His sister was right; it was exactly the same, his bookcase, his desk, and his bed was exactly how it had been when she last came. She felt his presence behind her as she turned around to grab the water as she sat on his bed.
"My parent's left everything the way it was before I left." He answered her as if reading her mind.
Closing the door and leaning against it as he eyed her on his bed. She continued drinking the cold glass of water, hoping it could quench the heat that was starting to appear from his heated stares. She put the glass down on a nearby table and scooched over and patted the spot beside her.
"Come on and sit by me, I feel guilty with you standing there."
He nodded as he settled his glass beside hers, sitting near her on the bed. He saw her redden cheeks and her tongue peeking out to moisten her lips. At that moment he just stared at them and grinned jumping on the blonde as she squeaked. He started to kiss her missing the taste of her mouth like they been apart for years, settling into her moans searching her mouth with his tongue.
She came for air frantically as she laughed, "Geez, it's only been a couple of days," as he continued to kiss down her neck , reveling in her sighs and giggles.
"With you, a couple of days is like a fucking year."
"But your sister is here."
He looked at her as he lifted her skirt pushing her panties aside as he unzipped his pants pulling out his member. "I'll be quick, you just have to keep your pretty loud mouth shut." He whispered into her ear as she felt him situate himself between her thighs.
"I am not l... OUD," she yelled feeling his member shoved deeply into her. He held her hips with one hand as the other covered her mouth.
"Not loud, hunh?" He grinned.
He saw her furrowing her brows at him but he quickly thrust into her repeatedly as her face changed from frustration into bliss. Continuing to push forward deeper igniting louder muffled moans. In and out, faster and harder, she felt her tighten as she climaxed feeling himself about to cum. After a few thrust he felt himself unload inside as he groaned and collapsed out of breath.
"Do you still love me?" She said between breaths.
He lifted himself up wearily just enough to stare into her eyes.
"I don't think I've ever stopped."
She smiled as they both kissed, "Me either, I think I was denying it for so long. I'm so sorry but I do love you, Shuuhei."
"Don't worry, I know," he said moving her hair behind her ear as he kissed her more passionately.
Ulquiorra came to classes the next morning earlier than usual. Since he didn't have his bubbly sister with him, he was trying to avoid a particular set of someone's, particularly his girlfriend. He just didn't feel up to the confrontation, they didn't have the same classes which helped. The last class finished as he was on his way home, today he didn't feel like visiting the dojo all he thought about was his sister being so upset. He didn't intentionally try to get into it, he was just going to be there to observe but when he saw his brother being pushed off it was just instincts and all he thought about was to protect him.
"Not planning on going to the dojo? Have you been avoiding us?" He heard a familiar voice as he stopped to turn, finding Nel hollering out of a blue sports car. The car stopped near him as she exited as well as Tatsuki. He also caught a glimpse of blue and saw the angry faces of the girls out of the car, especially from his girlfriend.
"To be honest, I was trying to avoid this but it seemed there's no way to, " he said sighing in irritation.
Tatsuki's anger escalated as she closed her eyes trying to calm down, she became more irritated when she heard the snicker from Grimmjow.
Nel looked at her boyfriend, giving him a look that told him to shut up, as he rolled his eyes and leaned against his car.
"Is Orihime home?"
Ulquiorra nodded yes.
"She doesn't answer her phone?"
"She's been in her room since yesterday and she really doesn't talk to us. She told Sora that she didn't want to go to classes today, because of a stomachache."
"Dammnit, Ulquiorra! What the hell happened and don't give me that shit that you don't want to talk about it or nothing happened. You have a bruise on your face, where is that from, you didn't have it when you left my house yesterday?"
Ulquiorra sighed, was silent for a moment before he divulged about what happened to Nel and Tatsuki. They both had shocked faces when he honestly described the fight that had erupted. Grimmjow started to laugh before he spoke , "Sounds like Ichigo put you down for getting into it."
Ulquiorra glanced over at Grimmjow annoyed but it never showed on his face.
"I wouldn't talk, Grimmjow!" Tatsuki intervened, " I saw Ichigo pound the shit out of you at the party." He raised up from leaning on his car, " Excuse me, that's fucking bullshit and you want to say that shit again when your looking at me."
"You want to refrain from speaking to her in that way," Ulquiorra directed to Grimmjow.
"You want another beat down, I'll be glad to give you a matching bruise on the other side of your face," Both men was walking towards each other glaring until Nel got between them.
"This is going to solve shit, our best friend is by herself heartbroken and we're here bickering, cut this shit out," she looked at both men as they avoided staring at each other.
"Ulquiorra, if you don't mind we'd like to take Orihime out with Sora has a problem with that you can come with us to keep an eye on her if not, he can deal with us," Nel said seriously.
Ulquiorra looked at Nel and then to his girlfriend who huffed and crossed her arms waiting.
"She made it clear that she did not want to be bothered." Ulquiorra felt like adding.
"I don't...mmmm" Tatsuki screamed loudly before her mouth was covered by her friend, she held the fiery girl down, " You let us worry about that, come on let's go," Nel said.
"I'll walk," Ulquiorra eyed Grimmjow.
"I don't think so, Grimmjow doesn't mind, right."Nel smiled as he grumbled before getting into his car.
"See."
The green eyed man looked at Nel and stood there. She got in the car as Tatsuki looked at him and yelled, " Well, come on."
He sighed then gingerly walked towards the car getting in, Grimmjow hit the gas making a loud screech with his tires and pulled out.
*hides in the corner and puts her hands up* Please, don't hate me I do love Orihime, I swear. lmao! It was hard writing this part of the story I swear there is a reason for Sora's hesitance. So much angsty in the chapter, I feel bad for Rukia she is sooooooo adorable, even though I am a Orihime fan I can love Rukia as well. = P
If you need to blow off some steam to me about how angry this chapter made you feel, don't hesitate to review or PM. I want you to, because I did my job. = P
I also feel bad for Ichigo not only for having Orihime taken from him twice, but he's has to aching from not having sex, especially from Orihime being half naked last night. = P I am soooo bad.
