Hi everybody! I know I haven't updated in a while (I did warn you tho...) so here is the next chappie! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.
Warning: Slight yaoi... ;)
"What do you mean Kurosaki is here demanding to see Unohana-taicho?" Isane Kotetsu was hysterical at this point. Once her direly-calm captain heard about this, she was not going to be a pleasant person to be around. "What about that idiot of a hollow? He was supposed to keep him in bed for at least another couple of days!" The timid receptionist for fourth squad shrugged and then Hanatarou appeared. He was a mess of bloodstained shinigami robes and he looked as though he had one hell of a night... And then it dawned on her.
"Please tell me you didn't see what I think you saw..." Hanatarou blushed while Isane sighed. "Well then needless to say Unohana's orders have been broken.." "Which orders, Isane-chan?" She turned around to see her tempermental captain. "The ones where Kurosaki wasn't to strain himself..." She awaited the burst of spine crushing reiatsu, but it never came. She opened her eyes to see her captain looking rather sad. "What's wrong, Taicho?" Her captain just shook her head, "Let Kurosaki in please..." Isane heard the receptionist scurry off. When she turned to follow her captain, Unohana merely shook her head and left Isane in the hallway. Apparently this was going to be an important conversation. One that she was not meant to hear...
"So what brings you her Ichigo?" Ichigo tried not to flinch at the sound of the fourth squad's captain'; voice. For some reason it always seemed that she was too sweet... "I want to know why Hanatarou was in my house and I want to know why a week's worth of memories are missing!" Unohana sighed, and that seemed to only make Ichigo only more aggrivated. "You are missing memories because you were taken as a prisoner of war and tortured in such ways that you were barely alive after the one day you were gone. We have made it so that you will remember nothing of your encounter. To not mention what happened in Hueco Mundo was the first of my orders. The second set was that you not be given any missions for the next two months; you have no idea what damage has been done, internally alone! My last set of orders were the most important: You were not to be strained physically,mentally or emotionally. Though according to Hanatarou's report, it seems as though that order was the first out the window!" Ichigo's eyes widened... Did that mean that Hanatarou had seen all of that? Every kiss, touch... That seemed to trigger some memory... When Renji saw... And then Grimm showed everybody... After that everything was gone.. "It has something to do with Aizen, am I right?" She nodded gravely and her gaze seemed to linger on his exposed wrist.
Ichigo looked down at his wrist and gasped. On them were marks, as though there had been something chafing against them.. But that had never happened before.. Then he remembered. The first night he and Grimmjow had been together, the next morning he had woken up with similar markings, but not to this degree.. But that would mean.... !
Everything came back to him. Aizen had tricked him into going into his room.. Pain, that was all he could conciously draw up. Pain as he wa pounded into, pain as he disobeyed, endless pain. And then at the end of the night he had ben thrown into the cold dungeon, not to be sent for until night struck again..
He felt a cool hand on his forehead and opened eyes which he hadn't even realized that he had closed. He was looking up into the suddenly kind eyes of the fourth squad captain. "It's over Ichigo... He isn't going to ever claim anyone else from Soul Society or Earth as his plaything!" Hearing this declaration, combined with things Ichigo had rather forget, made Ichigo go over the edge and he cried and cried.
"Grimmjow-san! I don't understand! So please enlighten me! How hard are my orders!? All I asked for was that Ichigo be given a few more days to rest and recuperate! Because you couldn't control neither your libido nor your idiocy, Ichigo is suffering from those memories that I worked so hard to supress! If theres an excuse as to why you failed to comply with orders, I would sure love to hear it! Grimmjow bit on his tongue, to stop from shouting at the ice queen of a captain. He knew he was at fault for all of the suffering Ichigo had gone through. If he hadn't been such a idiot and had to prove to those other idiots that he had in fact popped Ichigo's anal cherry, he wouldn't be in this mess! Because if he hadn't done that, Ichigo would never have summoned that portal from nowhere and he wouldn't have gone to Hueco Mundo. He didn't deserve the title of Ichi's boyfriend. " I am waiting Grimmjow!" Grimmjow tok his mind off of his wallowing and refocused on the lecture he deserved. But one thing was for sure. Even if Ichigo thought he was the literal incarnation of the phrase 'selfish bastard' he would change that. He loved Ichigo and nothing would ever change that; he just hoped that he wouldn't be too late come Monday.
Monday Morning
Ichigo walked into class and sat in the very back, away from the available seat next to Grimmjow. It's not that he blamed Grimm for what Aizen did to him, but he did blame him for causing it to happen. Had he just kept his mouth shut about what happened the night before, and then go as far to show his friends what happened, well that was just too much! Did he hate the Hollow? Not by any means. He loved the man, but Ichigo had the feeling that for the Hollow he was just another piece of ass.
"Ohayo, Kurosaki-kun," Ichigo turned to see Ishida staring intently at him. "Oh hi Uryuu..." There was an awkward silence and then they both hard something very disturbing. A hollow scream. "Stay here Uryuu, cover for me if Sensei comes in..." With that Ichigo pressed the badge to his chest and jumped out the window. Uryuu sighed. When had he ever listened to the teen before? He popped a piece of soul candy into Ichigo's mouth and then created a particle clone of himself. He looked around and then jumped out the window as well, all the while homing in to Ichigo's reiatsu.
He followed the reiastu out to Shingaku Park and then his eyes widened. Before him was one of the strangest Menos Grande he had ever seen. HE was twie as tall, with a long black robe, but his eyes were shooting rays while tentacles were trying to capture Ichigo. Ishida pulled back his arm and collected the spirit particles... Only a few more seconds. Then he released the arrow. It shot straight past Ichigo and into the heart of the Holow. Except, the Hollow didn't die. He just was distracted for a moment. Ichigo only needed that one moment. He swooped down onto the Hollow and borught his blade down. And then it disingrated, leaving both Ishida and Ichigo very much alone. "Weren't you supposed to cover for us?" Ishida laughed at the mocking tone of the substitute shinigami "And since when did covering for us mean I have to miss the fun?" Ichigo looked puzzled and then groaned. Kon. Great. "Please tell me you didn-" " No, I didn't use Kon. I took the liberty of picking up another batch of soul candy from Urahara." Ichigo visibly relaxed and then sighed. "So what d'ya wanna do now that we have the day off..? Uryuu pondered this for a few seconds and then smiled. "How about we hang out at my apartment?" Ichigo smiled and nodded in agreement.
Ichigo was less enthusiastic when he realized it was uphill. Then a thought struck him. "Hey Ishida, climb onto my back, I'll Shunpo us!" Ishida looked at him looking properly uncomfortable, while his inner self shouted for joy. He climbed onto the taller teen and they were off.
In next to no time they were in Uryuu's neat apartment with tea on the kettle. "So you live alone?" The Quincy nodded. "I wanted to embrace my heritage, and my father told me 'Well you can embrace it outside my house..' And so he sends me checks every month to pay for the groceries and rent." Ichigo couldn't help but feel sorry for his friend. How would he fare, if he was in the same position. The answer was easy. He wouldn't. But didn't Uryuu ever get lonely?
"Ne, Uryuu.. Don't you ever get lonely?" The sudden question from the object of his affection took him off guard and he blurted out the cheesiest answer in all of history. "Not when I'm with you.." He put a hand over his mouth, sure that his psycho boyfriend, Grimmjow would bust in at any moment yelling at him. "Really?" And then Ichigo realized something that was so obvious, he should of realized it sooner. "Uryuu... Do you like me?" Ishida felt his eyes widened and then he smirked. Well if he was going to hell he might as well do it thoroughly. And so he kissed Ichigo.
O.o cliffhanger minna-san. As per my promise to one of my reviewers I am going to have some IchiXIshi and before anyone flames me for this development.. Just keep in mind that Grimm is very possesive... Lol ;) if you catch my drift. And he will do anything to keep from losing... The next chappie should be interesting.. Review!!!
