At Inoue's Apartment

Inoue looks at Rangiku-san who's planning on going back to Soul Society shortly. Matsumoto notices a bracelet on Inoue's counter and she asks Inoue what it is, since she can sense a strange spiritual pressure from it.

"It's what the espada gave me to hide my presence to everyone except them. They made me wear it. When I left Hueco Mundo, I kept it, since it was the one time I felt like Kurosaki-kun might care about me," Inoue says, sighing. "It allows me to pass through physical objects as I desire in the living world, I was unable to pass through the wall of the room Aizen had imprisoned me in though." Inoue says, looking at the bracelet.

"You shouldn't tell people about that ability! You're a good girl, Orihime. If I were you, with those feelings for Kurosaki, I'd have used that bracelet a long time ago to my advantage!" Matsumoto sings as she heads over to the table and grabs a candy bar.

"What?" Inoue asks, and blushes, as she remembers when she used that device in the living world last, she had very nearly stolen a kiss from Kurosaki-kun. "Would it be so bad if I used it again to see him?"

In The Kurosaki Kitchen

"Ichigo," Rukia says softly. His family's in the next room watching a dumb movie that they're all into. Ichigo looks at Rukia and flippantly replies.

"What?" Ichigo's completely unprepared for the next words to come out of her mouth.

"I have a problem, and I want your advice on how to deal with it." Rukia says to him very seriously. Ichigo knows it's not like her to ask for help with any problem. She's always pounded it into his head that she's a self sufficient woman and doesn't need him to take care of her. Ichigo gives her his undivided attention.

"What's the problem?" Ichigo asks, studying her carefully. Rukia seems nervous. "Tell me, I'll help you any way I can." Ichigo says encouragingly. Rukia gives him a sad smile.

"I hope so. This is not something I ever thought I would need to express, but I've been doing some research on my own, with the library and the internet, and it seems there is a specific order of events for humans, and if I want to get across the bridge I have to cross it by doing something I really have always been very afraid to do." Rukia tries to explain slowly without just blurting everything out. Ichigo scratches his head as he contemplates what she said.

"So in order to get something you want, you have to do something that you're afraid to do?" Ichigo asks, making sure he understands her situation.

"Yes." Rukia whispers. She stares into his eyes and he returns her stare as he thinks about what she said.

"Is what you want important enough to risk doing what you're afraid of?" Ichigo asks her softly.

"I believe with all my heart that it is, but that doesn't stop me from being afraid of what I have to do to get there." Rukia says in a depressed voice.

"The thing that you're afraid of doing, would it kill anybody? Is it morally wrong?" Ichigo asks next.

"No, it's just extremely scary…terrifying. It could inadvertently make me lose something that I value the most." Rukia says softly. "It's something I value more than my life that I could end up losing." Rukia gives Ichigo a pained look and he immediately feels awful for her.

"That sounds like a difficult decision to make. Is what you want that important?" Ichigo asks again.

"It is worth it, if I can get up the courage to do what scares me." Rukia whispers achingly. Ichigo leans closer to her with his arms on the table. He's only quiet for a moment, and then he looks at her carefully.

"Can you elaborate?" Ichigo finally asks. He watches as Rukia stands and paces silently for a minute. Finally she walks around the table until she's standing next to him. He sits back in his seat and looks up at her. He's a bit surprised when she sets a hand on his shoulder. He watches her face as she closes her eyes tight for a moment and then opens them to stare at him with her huge blue eyes showing her vulnerability.

"See, I'm actually pretty selfish. I have always been so content, but lately what I have isn't enough. I want more." Rukia says, and Ichigo gives her a confused look.

"You are not selfish!" Ichigo says with conviction.

"Yes I am. It's because I want more." Rukia says as she squeezes his shoulder. Ichigo senses that she's extremely emotional right now and so he just contemplates her words for a second before disagreeing more strongly than before.

"You are not selfish. If you were, you would have never transferred your powers to me, so long ago." Ichigo answers her with his steely eyes telling her he won't allow her to convince him differently.

"Why can't I be happy with what I have then?" Rukia is practically wailing and Ichigo puts his hand to his lips and points towards his family in the next room.

"What is it that you want so badly? If it's this important to you, I can try to help." Ichigo says, wanting to see the sadness leave her eyes. She laughs, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes.

"Ironic that you would say that, because your help is actually necessary in this endeavor." Rukia says in a choked voice.

"Huh?" Ichigo asks, more confused than ever. His eyes widen a bit as she sets her other hand up against his cheek and takes the hand on his shoulder and puts it on the back of his head.

"You see, I can't have what I want or say what I want until I do the scary thing." Rukia says in a low voice as she lowers her head and stares directly into his eyes. Her face is fairly close to his, and Ichigo looks at her and breathes slowly. His heart starts to pound as she moves her hand on his cheek. He can't do anything other than stare into her eyes for a few seconds.

"Don't keep me in suspense," Ichigo says in a soft voice. Rukia looks away for a split second before bringing her gaze back to his. In front of his eyes, he watches as she goes from scared and uncertain to defiant and determined. He couldn't look away if he tried. Her gaze is making his throat dry.

"You're right. Dragging it out isn't helping at all. I love you Ichigo. I have loved you for a long time. Lately, I've grown to love you so much that I want to touch you, hold you, or even make love to you." Rukia's soft voice is sultry and Ichigo watches as her face draws closer.

"Rukia," Ichigo whispers because he can't do anything else. He feels her hand tightening on the back of his head, grabbing at his hair and she keeps caressing his cheek even as she comes closer.

"I've been dying to touch you like this for so long," Rukia tells him just before she drops down on his lap and brings her lips to his. Ichigo couldn't be more shocked. His eyes close and he wraps his arms around her as she kisses him with all the emotion she feels in her heart. He responds in kind. Everything he's been holding back, he gives her in this kiss.

"Rukia," Ichigo breathes heavily as their lips finally tear apart.

"Ichigo!" Rukia says it with a lot of emotion and when he looks into her eyes, he sees tears forming.

"Don't cry. You shouldn't have worried or called yourself selfish. I'm sorry you've been hurting so much because of me. I never wanted that to happen. You mean more to me than anyone," Ichigo says quietly in a heartfelt voice.

"I don't want you to give me anything that you don't want to give, though," Rukia says softly even as his arms tighten around her. She's still touching his hair, and she moves her hand from his cheek and traces his lips with her index finger.

"I want you as much as you want me. I love you as much as you love me. I want to touch you as much as you want to touch me." Ichigo whispers before pulling her back in for a kiss.

Outside Inoue's Apartment

"Come again soon, Rangiku-san!" Inoue says, waving as the woman goes through the gates that lead to Soul Society.

Inoue goes inside and stares at the bracelet the espada gave her. She takes a deep breath and she slips it on, and walks briskly to the Kurosaki residence.

She climbs up to Kurosaki-kun's window, and sighs in relief as the bracelet allows her into his room. It still works. She looks around and then sits at his desk, running her fingers over the books on his desk. She looks at the door when she hears footsteps approaching.

Ichigo walks into the bedroom carrying Rukia and Inoue quickly jumps up, concerned Kuchiki-san is injured. Neither Ichigo nor Rukia notice the sliding of his chair as she stands. She's taking a step, when Ichigo closes the door and then strides over to his bed and lays Rukia down in it. Inoue's mouth drops open when he falls into bed on top of her and starts kissing her.

Inoue goes to the door. She tries to go through, but can't, all of a sudden. Why can't I pass through? Is it because deep down, I don't desire to? Inoue's heart sinks as this truth crashes down on her. She turns back towards the bed and watches, stomach dropping, as Ichigo kisses Rukia's lips, her face, her neck, so lovingly and gently that it makes her ache.

"Rukia, thank you." Ichigo says it softly. Inoue stares at them in bed as Ichigo's hands run up and down Rukia's arms and he leans in and kisses her passionately.

"This is a nightmare." Inoue whispers as Ichigo starts pulling her dress down around her arms and when he hears the material ripping from stretching it around her arms, he yanks more forcefully until he's exposed her bra.

Inoue covers her mouth with her hand and sinks back onto the chair at his desk and puts her face down and starts to cry.

"Ichigo!" Rukia's voice sounds like she's very affected by his passionate kisses.

"Rukia, let me show you…how much I love you. Let me…" Ichigo stops talking as he pushes her bra out of his way and starts kissing her breasts. Rukia lets out a lusty sigh and Inoue can't help it. She looks at them again.

She's so jealous right now. She wants so much to be in Ichigo's arms with his lips pressing firmly all over her body. Saying those sweet words to her. Wanting her so much that he's ripping off her clothes. All of this is Rukia's, and Inoue just wants to trade places with her.

Rukia starts letting out little moans at the magic Ichigo is working with his mouth. Ichigo pulls back and starts yanking her dress down more. He finally gets it off and quickly removes his shirt. He leans back down to kiss her again. Inoue stares at his body, at the scars, at the muscles and she feels ashamed that can't look away from him.

Rukia moves her kisses from his mouth to his neck, and she lets her tongue twirl around his neck, and he calls her name out in desire as she runs her hands up and down his chest.

"I want you Ichigo. I feel like I'm on fire." Rukia whispers. Ichigo quickly hops out of bed and pulls off his pants and boxers. Inoue stares as he's close enough for her to touch him, but she doesn't dare.

"I want you too. Lets take these off." Ichigo says in a low voice as he removes Rukia's panties and climbs into bed with her. Rukia presses her naked body up against his and Ichigo lets out a turned on moan.

Inoue puts a hand on her chest. She has now seen him in all his glory, naked, and he's more perfect than she had even pictured in her dreams. She feels a wave of longing wash over her and she makes another attempt at going through the door. Once again she's unsuccessful.

Inoue leans up against the wall as she watches Ichigo and Rukia kiss each other hungrily, like they can't get enough of each other.

"God, Ichigo!" Rukia cries out when he moves his kisses from her mouth to her chest, then down, down, down, until he reaches her most sensitive area. Rukia grabs the pillow and presses it up to her face so that her moans are muffled. He still hears her sharp and passionate gasps of pleasure.

"You taste nice." Ichigo whispers as her body reacts to his tongue on it.

"Ichigo, come here." Rukia says in an aching voice. Ichigo moves his head up near hers and starts sucking on her earlobe. Rukia sucks in a hard breath. His legs are positioned in between hers and she can feel his hardness pushing into her stomach.

"I love you. More than anything or anyone, I love you." Ichigo whispers into her ear. Rukia's eyes fill with tears of happiness. She places a quick kiss on his cheek before answering.

"I love you too, Ichigo. I want you bad." Rukia says, as she runs her hand down his front and firmly takes hold of his most sensitive place. He gasps in pleasure at her touch. She marvels at the contrast of smooth and hard and runs her hands up and down, causing a sexy moan to emit from his lips.

"You make me feel so damn good." Ichigo says before leaning back a little and positioning himself to make love to her. Rukia looks up at him with love shining brightly in her eyes. Ichigo nearly comes undone. He can feel the love radiating from her entire being.

"Rukia!" Ichigo calls her name loudly with need as he starts to slip inside of her, warm and really tight. "God, you're the most perfect woman!"

Inoue cries and slowly slides to the floor. She isn't looking anymore, just hearing is more than enough. She bawls as she realizes her dreams have been shattered right before her very eyes. She can feel their reiatsu mingling and even from her position on the floor, she can sense the loving feelings that are enveloping the room. She can smell the sex in the air.

"Ow!" Rukia cries out and digs her fingers into his arms, hard. Ichigo stops, mid-thrust, ignoring his body's natural instinct to push the rest of the way in. "That really hurt!" Rukia exclaims in a small voice.

"Rukia?" He asks her, worried. She's taking quick breaths. She looks up at him, and he sees the pain reflected in her eyes. He doesn't dare move, he stays completely still as she keeps breathing from the sharp pain of his entry. He watches as she gets calmer. "I'm sorry I hurt you," he whispers, feeling very guilty.

"I'm okay, Ichigo. Promise. Make love to me." Rukia demands softly, and that's all he needs to push himself the rest of the way in, moaning while he does so. He looks down at her in all her beauty and he thrusts into her again and again.

Rukia scores his back with her nails as he holds his body weight with one arm and rubs her nipples with the other. They both moan in pleasure, Rukia never imagined she could feel so good, so right being this close to him. The heat radiating from his body onto hers is making her a bit lightheaded.

"Rukia! You feel so good," Ichigo mutters as the waves of passion begin to wash over his body. "I'm going to-" Ichigo lets out a loud moan at the pleasure he's experiencing, he climaxes so suddenly he has no chance of even getting out of her. He closes his eyes at the intensity of the pleasure of making love to her. He pulls himself out of her and rolls over to her side and wraps his arms around her. He had no idea that it could be this good.

"I love you so much," Rukia's soft voice reaches his ears and he smiles at her.

"Is it as much as I love you?" He asks her, with wonder in his eyes. Rukia giggles a little at his expression.

"More." Rukia replies as she places a kiss on his neck.

"Thanks." Ichigo whispers into her ear.

"For what?" Rukia asks him.

"For everything. For your love, for your confession, and for your touch. Now that you've given it all to me, I'm never going to let you go." Ichigo says in a resolute voice. "It would kill me if you took away the only light in my life. I'm going to keep you now that you've given yourself to me." Ichigo declares before climbing out of bed to go to the restroom and clean up.

"I wouldn't expect any less from the man I've fallen in love with," Rukia whispers. "Being in your arms and returning your love feels better than anything I've ever experienced before in my life." She pulls his cover up over her body and watches him grab a towel and leave the room. "I'd never give it up!"

Inoue's finally able to leave. She heads home, walking slow. It's time to let go. She wishes so badly that it'd been her in Ichigo's arms and not Rukia. She pulls the bracelet off angrily. She witnessed a very private moment, something that should have been theirs alone. It's time to move on. Kurosaki-kun will never be mine.

"Rukia, are you sure you're okay" Ichigo asks in a concerned voice. He felt bad that he'd hurt her. Really bad since he'd felt nothing but pleasure.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just happy I got to experience something so wonderful with you. It's what I've been wanting but it far exceeded my expectations. I'm head over heels in love with you. Take care of my heart Ichigo." Rukia whispers as she stares into his eyes.

"I will with my life, because I love you." Ichigo whispers back before kissing her.

"Make love to me again." Rukia commands.

"Really?" Ichigo whispers before pulling the cover away from her body. He leans down to kiss her and he presses his body against hers, when his bedroom door flies open and his whole family stands there, looking at the couple entwined in each other's arms. Rukia screams.

"Your Dad!" She yelps.

"Shit! Close the door!" Ichigo roars at the top of his voice, causing Rukia to flinch underneath him.

Isshin quickly shuts the door, glad that their private parts had been pressed against each other so that the girls hadn't seen anything except them in each other's arms. He's shocked. He looks at Yuzu and Karin who look back up at him, both looking a little disturbed by what they just saw.

"We should probably always knock from now on." Karin says angrily before turning and stomping away.

"Were they-?" Yuzu starts to ask and Karin spins around mid-stomp to cut her off.

"Yes! Obviously we shouldn't barge in his room anymore. He's been telling us for ages. Thanks a lot old man, I should've never had to see that!" Karin yells.

"Shut up!" Ichigo's voice penetrates the door. "Get away from my door!" He roars.

"Come on, Yuzu, lets give your brother some privacy." Isshin says. Karin turns around and snarls at her father.

"You think?" Karin is officially in a bad mood.

Ichigo and Rukia stare at the door as it sounds like they've left.

"I don't even want to think about them. Ichigo, make me forget." Rukia orders in a bossy tone. Ichigo smiles into her big blue eyes.

"Gladly!" Ichigo claims her mouth again but tboth groan and pull away for a second to roll their eyes when they hear his father from clear downstairs.

"Nice going on becoming a man Ichigo, I'm so proud of you! Make sure you do it right!" Isshin's voice seems to be loud enough to carry throughout the neighborhood.

Ichigo grumbles angrily at his father's words before losing himself in Rukia again.
