Chapter Ten: The Earthquake

Everyone looked around as Ichigo and Rukia stared.

"Okay, everyone, we are going to go to houses and search for any survivors in the ruble. If you find someone alive, help them out. If you find someone dead, take a board or something and mark it with a red 'x' so that we can pull the body out and give it a proper burial. Am I clear?" Mrs. Ochi asked as she watched every student's reaction. "Okay, guys, split up into groups. I want everyone to make sure that they have at least two people with each other at each ruble site." With that said, everyone split up into groups. Ichigo wrapped his arms around Rukia as she continued to stare at the area around them.

"Rukia?" Ichigo questioned as he looked at her.

"This looks so much like the Rukongai District where Renji and I grew up." Rukia looked up at Ichigo and gave a weak smile.

"Will you be okay?" Ichigo asked as he led Rukia towards the others. Rukia nodded her head before inhaling.

"Yeah I will be." Rukia glanced around before spotting someone. "Captain!" Ukitake turned around upon hearing Rukia's voice call to him.

"Hello, Rukia, Ichigo." Ukitake greeted them as they neared.

"Hello. Why are you here?" Ichigo asked as the others neared as well.

"Soul Society is in a state of chaos in the Rukongai Districts. Besides my-self, a few other captains are here-along with a few lieutenants as well." Ukitake turned to the others as they stopped. "Hello Orihime, Lieutenant Abarai, Uryu, Chad, Nozomi, and Tatsuki."

"Hello." Everyone greeted in return as a second captain returned.

"Rukia, Kurosaki, Abarai, Quincy," Byakuya said as Rukia stiffened alittle.

"Brother, it is nice to see you," Rukia said as she bowed to him.

"Byakuya." Ichigo watched as Rukia straightened herself up after bowing to her brother.

"Captain!" Renji noticed that Byakuya ignored Rukia and was busy glaring at Ichigo. "Ichigo, why don't you and Rukia go start on the houses? We can send anyone that we find alive to your dad."

"Yeah. Come on, Midget…OWW!" Ichigo yelled as Rukia kicked him in the shin.

"DON'T CALL ME MIDGET!" Rukia shouted back as she walked next to Ichigo. Uryu and Renji glanced at each other before busting out laughing.

"They will never learn. This is going to be one interesting trip," Uryu said as he tried to calm down.

"That's for sure." Renji noticed that his captain left and ignored him as well. "Come on, we better get started as well. See you later Captain Ukitake."

"Bye, stay safe guys." Ukitake waved to them before leaving as well, going to give a piece of his mind to the Kuchiki clan leader. Once Ichigo and Rukia got to a house, they stopped and looked at it.

"I'll go see if there is anyone trapped." Rukia started to move forward, only to be pulled back by Ichigo.

"I love you," Ichigo said with a kiss, "be careful."

"I love you too. I will." Rukia smiled and turned back to the destroyed house. Going through the ruble carefully, Rukia discovered a woman. The woman was badly injured, but still alive. "Ichigo, I found a woman alive!" Rukia called out as she helped the woman stand. "It's okay, we are here to help you."
"Thank you. Please, find my son," The woman cried as Ichigo neared them.

"We will. I'll take you to my dad, he's a doctor." Ichigo lead the woman away towards his dad while Rukia searched for the woman's son. Rukia moved a few boards away, uncovering the decaying body of the woman's toddler son. Rukia gasped and ran to the streets holding her hand over her mouth. Once in the street, Rukia heaved and expelled the contents of her stomach. Ichigo came back to the house to Rukia dry heaving.

"Rukia!" Ichigo went to her and pulled her hair back from her face. "Are you okay?"

"No. Ichigo, I found that woman's child. His body was decaying." Rukia started to sob as Ichigo pulled her to his chest.

"Sh." Ichigo tried to calm Rukia down, with no success. Renji and Tatsuki came over to them an hour later to see Ichigo holding Rukia still as she sobbed.

"What's wrong?" Renji demanded as he stormed up to Ichigo, ready to sock him.

"We discovered a woman here alive and injured. She asked us to find her son. Rukia discovered him while I took the woman to my dad. The son didn't make it. The body is decaying." Ichigo explained as he held Rukia closer. Tatsuki grimanced and could understand why Rukia would be crying.

"I'll put a board up and mark it so that we can give him a proper burial later. Take Rukia and head to the hotel that we are staying at. We are paired up with-in our group, couples are together." Renji moved and picked a board up and stuck it in the ground.

"Thanks, Renji." Ichigo picked Rukia up and carried her bridal style to the hotel. Mrs. Ochi saw that Rukia was being carried and went up to them.

"What happened?" Mrs. Ochi questioned as she handed Ichigo their room key.

"She discovered a toddler's decaying body in the only house that we got today." Ichigo took the key and headed towards the elevator. Once inside the elevator, Ichigo turned his attention to Rukia. "Rukia, are you going to be okay?"

"I don't know. Seeing that child's body, it makes me not want to wait, but still it does. I can't afford to get pregnant right now. Not with the war coming up and everything else that is happening." Rukia sighed as Ichigo rested his head on hers while listening to her.

"I know. I know. I can only imagine the sight," Ichigo whispered as he pressed his lips into Rukia's hair.

Ding! The elevator announced to the couple that it was at their floor. Ichigo stepped off the elevator and walked down the hallway and stopped at their room. Ichigo opened the door and walked in, closing the door with his foot. Ichigo laid Rukia on the bed and took her shoes off before removing his own.

"Ichigo, I love you." Rukia smiled as Ichigo climbed on the bed and stretched out next to her.

"I love you too," Ichigo replied as he rolled to where he was above her, hold himself up with just his fore arms. Ichigo lowered his head and kissed Rukia, keeping his weight all on his forearms still. Rukia smiled in the kiss and opened her mouth for Ichigo as his tongue brushed against her bottom lip.

"Ichi-" Rukia broke off into a moan as Ichigo moved his lips down to her neck. Ichigo thrust against her as she buried her hands into his mane of orange hair.

"Rukia," Ichigo groaned as he looked at her, searching for any sign that she didn't want to go further. Rukia nodded her head, knowing that Ichigo wouldn't go any further if she was unsure.

-LEMON! Skip this if it offends you at all!-

"I love you!" Rukia gasped as Ichigo bit her neck hard. Ichigo ran his tongue over the pulsing skin before sitting up. Ichigo ran his hands down Rukia's front and opened up her shirt, revealing her pink lacy bra.

"God, you are so beautiful." Ichigo felt Rukia's hands push his shirt up to his chest. Ichigo pulled his shirt off and threw it on the ground. Rukia smiled as Ichigo laid back down and started to kiss her bare shoulders. Ichigo ran his hands down Rukia's chest, stopping at her breasts. Rukia moaned as she felt Ichigo's thumb brush across her fabric covered nipples.

" Ichigo…" Rukia moaned as she felt Ichigo removed her shirt and reach behind her to remove her bra.

"Rukia," Ichigo whispered as he continued to kiss down Rukia's chest. Ichigo reached the swell of Rukia's breast and looked up at her with a smirk grin.

"Ichi-" Rukia broke off in a moan as she felt Ichigo take her nipple into his mouth. Ichigo kneaded her neglected mound of flesh as he flicked his tongue over her nipple.

"God, Rukia," Ichigo breathed as he released one breast and switched to the other one that he ignored. Rukia could feel Ichigo suck and nip at her sensitive flesh while her hands trailed down his chest and back. Ichigo groaned as he felt Rukia's hands brush against his hard member. Rukia smirked before moving her hands to Ichigo's belt. Feeling Rukia's hands on his belt, Ichigo trailed one hand down unzipped Rukia's skirt. Rukia raised her hips, still working on Ichigo's pants, as Ichigo pulled her skirt off.

"Ichigo…" Rukia moaned as she felt him rub his hand over her clothed core.

"Rukia, I love you," Ichigo whispered as he sat up and helped Rukia pull down his pants, leaving both of them in their underwear.

"I love you too," Rukia groaned as she felt Ichigo move her panties aside and brush against her clit. Ichigo smirked as he rubbed his thumb over it again, earning a moan of pleasure from Rukia. Ichigo pulled Rukia's panties off of her, before returning his fingers to her special place. Rukia moaned as Ichigo started to kiss his way down her stomach. Rukia felt Ichigo's thumb flick over her sensitive bundle of nerves as she threaded her fingers through his hair. Ichigo inserted a finger into her, feeling her tense slightly. Ichigo pumped his finger into her slowly, letting her get used to it.

"Rukia, do you want me too-" Ichigo cut off into a groan as he felt Rukia put her hand down his boxers and wrap around his throbbing hard-on.

"I want this, Ichigo." Rukia nodded as Ichigo smiled. Ichigo nodded his head as well and went back to pleasuring Rukia. Rukia was could feel a coiled spring tightening more and more as Ichigo started to move his finger in and out of her faster. Rukia groaned in pleasure as Ichigo inserted a second finger into her. Rukia started to pump Ichigo, trying to pleasure him as much as he was her. Ichigo kissed her hard as he flicked her nub and sped up his fingers.

"Rukia," Ichigo groaned as he felt Rukia pull his boxers lower to give herself better access to his member. Rukia felt the coil in her stomach start to strain.

"Ichigo, I am so close…" Rukia trailed off as she panted, arching her back each time Ichigo brushed her clit. Rukia removed her hand from Ichigo to grip the sheets beneather her. "ICHIGO!" Rukia screamed as she came. Ichigo removed his fingers from her and licked them clean. Ichigo moved so that his member was right at her opening before lowering his head to hers. Capturing her lips in a kiss, Ichigo let Rukia taste herself.

"Last chance." Ichigo watched Rukia's face as he teased her opening.

"I want too. Please," Rukia panted. Ichigo kissed her once more before slowly entering her. Rukia winced as she felt her body stretch to accommodate him. Ichigo felt her barrier and stopped. Looking up at Rukia, Ichigo watched as she nodded her head.

"I love you." Ichigo pulled back, only leaving his head in her, before thrusting into her, tearing her hymen. Rukia cried and whimpered a little in pain as Ichigo stilled. Ichigo waited and kissed Rukia, wishing to remove the pain that he had just caused her.

"Ichigo…" Rukia trailed off as she lifted her hips, signaling Ichigo that he could move again. Ichigo kissed her as he started to move in and out of her slowly.

"God, Rukia. You're so tight." Ichigo groaned as he felt a spring tighten in his stomach. Rukia could feel the coil tightening again in her stomach as Ichigo thrusts slowly increased.

"Ichigo-" Rukia broke off into a moan as Ichigo's hand reached between them and brushed her nub.

"Rukia…" Ichigo groaned as he kissed Rukia's face. Rukia gasped as she felt the coil tighten even more.

"Ichigo…I'm so close." Rukia felt Ichigo's lips against her neck as she moaned in pleasure. Ichigo continued to kiss Rukia's neck. "ICHIGO!" Rukia screamed as she orgasmed for a second time. Ichigo grunted as he felt Rukia's walls clamp down around his member, causing him to go over the edge as well.

"RUKIA!" Ichigo screamed as he released his seed into Rukia. Ichigo collapsed against Rukia, panting as he raised himself to look into her face. "I love you."

"I love you too." Rukia replied as Ichigo kissed her neck and shoulders before claiming her lips. Ichigo pulled his now soft member out of Rukia and collapsed onto the bed next to her.

-END OF LEMON!-

Rukia snuggled close to Ichigo as he pulled the blankets around them, holding her close. The next morning, Ichigo and Rukia woke up to the sound of their door being smashed in.

"What the hell?" Ichigo demaned as he sat up in bed, making sure that Rukia was covered from whoever just busted to the door. Renji and Tatsuki entered the room two seconds later.

"Are you two going to lay around all morning?" Tatsuki asked as Rukia sighed and laid back down.

"Can't you guys call me on my phone if neither of us answers the door?" Ichigo asked as he stretched his arms up. Rukia yawned and turned so that she was laying on her stomach. Ichigo looked at Rukia before leaning down and pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Dude, we have been knocking for like five minutes." Renji sat down on a chair as Ichigo sighed and looked at him.

"Still, couldn't you have called one of us?" Ichigo smiled as Rukia sat up a little, allowing him a look at the tops of her breasts.

"Ichigo, can you get me a glass of water?" Rukia asked, her voice still laced with sleep as he reached for a pair of pants that were on the floor next to his side of the bed.

"Yeah." Ichigo kissed Rukia's neck and then pulled the pants on. Once out of bed, Ichigo covered Rukia better and walked to the bathroom. Ichigo entered the room again a few minutes later with a glass of water. "Here."

"Thanks." Rukia smiled as she sat up, making sure that her chest was covered with the sheet of the bed. Rukia took a drink as Renji looked at her. "What do you want, Renji?"

"Why do you have the sheet covering you? Don't you have clothes on?" Renji questioned as Ichigo glared at him. Rukia sighed and yawned.

"I don't have a shirt on because I got hot last night and didn't feel like changing into something cooler. So I just took off my shirt." Rukia watched Ichigo as he was shuffling around in his bag.

"Here. Put that on and get out of bed. We need to get moving." Ichigo threw a large shirt over to Rukia who smiled in thanks. Rukia pulled the shirt on quickly, never letting go of the sheet. Once the shirt was on, Rukia let the sheet go and pulled it out of her shirt before getting out of bed.

"Can you guys leave so that we can get dressed?" Rukia looked back as Tatsuki and Renji stood there.

"Yeah, see you at breakfast." Tatsuki and Renji left the room and headed towards Chad's and Nozomi's room.

"Bout time that they left." Ichigo smirked as Rukia pulled her bag over to her and sifted through it. Ichigo went up behind her and kissed her neck, wrapping his arms around her waist. Rukia groaned in pleasure as she felt Ichigo pull her gently back against him. "I love you."

"I love you too," Rukia replied as she pulled out panties and a bra, having pulled a shirt and pants out earlier. Ichigo kissed Rukia's cheek before releasing her to change in to better clothes as well. Once both of them changed, Ichigo and Rukia walked down the hall towards the others as they all waited for the elevator.

"Morning guys," Ichigo called as Chad and Nozomi turned to them.

"Morning." Nozomi smiled before going up to Rukia. "You owe me details."

"I don't think so." Rukia smiled back before leaning against Ichigo.

"What are we doing today?" Ichigo questioned as he wrapped his arms around Rukia and pressed a kiss into her hair.

"We are looking for more victims that are still alive. But there is an earthquake that is predicted to hit today, so we have to be careful." Uryu watched as Rukia turned her head, causing Ichigo to capture her lips with his.

"Great." Ichigo groaned as he broke away from Rukia. Once the group ate breakfast, they all decided to hit one building that was really unstable together.

"Rukia, be careful," Ichigo said as all the girls got ready to head inside the building.

"I will. Love you." Rukia waved before entering the building. Rukia had gotten to the stairs before flairing her spiritual pressure, signaling the other girls that they could come in. Suddenly the ground began to shake.

"What's going on?" Renji asked as he and Uryu widened their stances to stay balanced.

"It's the earthquake. It hit earlier than expected. GIRLS GET OUT OF THERE!" Uryu shouted as Nozomi, Orihime, and Tatsuki all backed away from the building.

"RUKIA!" Ichigo shouted as the building started to shake. Suddenly the building collapsed, trapping anyone inside.

"NO!" Nozomi cried as the ground stopped and everyone looked around. Keigo and Mizuiro ran over and helped them up.

"Is everyone okay?" Keigo asked as Ichigo watched the dust cloud settle.

"RUKIA!" Ichigo shouted as he collapsed to his knees in despair.

A/N: So what do you think? I have been playing with the idea of having Rukia and Ichigo come across a small child who lost both his parents and they take him in and become his parents. What do you think? I won't post again until I get another review. Read and Review please!
