A/N: Just a side note... School sucks. Ok enough said about college and finals. Anywho, when i saw the reviews for the 13th chapter I about fell out of my chair when I saw what was said and the reviews really made me feel better. I hope to keep getting reviews like the ones I have been getting. This chapter is a build up of things to come and I think it's a pretty fun Chapter, nothing like the Yumichika one but fun enough.
Hope that the chapter is to your liking!!!!
P.S. You know i really do proof read these things and there are always grammar mistakes that escape me, fuck my eye sight. (Excuse my language.)
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach, if I did I would jump for joy and rub it other people's faces. But I obviously will never get to do that... damnit
Ichigo had planned a meeting with Ukitake so he could discuss some things about Rukia and hoped he could convince the kind man.
Ichigo walked in Starlit and sat down at the bar area waiting for Rukia's adviser to show up.
"Ichigo, my dear boy, so what's this meeting about that you have planned for us?"
Ukitake came up behind him without Ichigo ever noticing that he was here until he had said something.
Ichigo twirled in his bar stool seat to face the man who always had a kind smile on his face.
"Please take a seat Ukitake-san."
"Ichigo, you can drop the 'san' there are no needs for formalities here."
Ichigo cocked his head in a confused manner. "Well, umm, ok if you insist."
"I do, well what do you have to propose for me? It's something about Rukia I presume?"
"Yes, you've guessed right. I was wondering if maybe… if maybe, since you are in charge of Rukia's finances, that you could open an account this one time for her to buy a car."
Ukitake was taken back a little by his request.
"Ichigo, how did you find out that I was in charge of her finances? I'm sure that was not informed to you."
"You would be correct on this, but Rukia herself told me that information."
Ukitake had a small smile that looked genuine on his lips.
"I'm stunned that Rukia told you about that. Did she tell you anything else?"
"Yes sir she did and I apologize but that information she has entrusted me with, I'd like to keep between her and me."
Ukitake knew things and couldn't believe that she would tell Ichigo about her past but he was pleasantly surprised that she was opening up to people again.
Ukitake's smile widened. "Sure Ichigo, if that is what you feel is best."
"Thank you Ukitake-san."
"What did I say? No more "san.'"
"Sorry, well back to what this meeting is about… like I said you're in charge of her finances and I was hoping that it would be alright for her to buy a car."
"I don't really see any harm in it. I need to go over it with her brother Byakuya though. But because he saw her name in the paper at the patron's banquette and read nothing but good things about her, he might just agree to it."
"Since you brought up her brother, I have a nagging question about him."
"What would your nagging question be Ichigo?"
"Where is Byakuya? I mean I know he has his own pharmaceutical company and he has no free time on his hands but why is he never around or why has he not at least called her?"
"They keep their visits to a minimum and have a very different relationship than… the normal brother and sister. It might be because Byakuya never really thought of this career for herself. Rukia loves her brother very much but she has her own free will. Byakuya is used to being in charge of everything around him and for something he used to have somewhat control over slip away from him… it might make him uneasy. I don't mean he locked her up in a dungeon in the tallest tower type deal but it was his way of protecting her. He made sure nothing bad had happened to her in high school. And now that she is living on her own and taking care of herself… he's just not used to it still."
Ichigo now understood more why she hit a "crazy streak" in college. Although it was mostly all Kaien's fault, her brother probably contributed a small amount to her actions.
"Oh, you can answer me one more question Ukitake."
"My, my Ichigo. If I didn't know any better I'd say you like Rukia."
Ichigo faltered back in his seat a bit and had to catch his balance.
"N-No, that's not it, it's just-"
"Your secret's safe with me. I won't even tell that hat and clogs boss of yours."
Ichigo composed himself when taking a drink. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Sure you don't my dear boy. So what is your other question?"
"Does she still like Chappy the Rabbit?"
"Do fat kids love cake?"
Ichigo had to be careful not to choke on his drink when Ukitake had replied with that comment.
"Umm, I'm taking it that would be a yes."
"You would be correct on this."
Ichigo and Ukitake finished up their meeting and left the restaurant with bowing to each other.
"I'll let you know what Byakuya thinks about the idea in about a week from today. If he says it's a go then I'll have the money in an account for Rukia's use by next Saturday. Sound good?"
"Sounds perfect."
"Expect a call from me sometime around next Thursday. Oh, I don't know if I should ask but have you gotten a peek at the sculpture she is working on?"
"Ukitake you know she would have my head if I said anything about that work of hers. But as far I can tell, she seems to be working hard on it only taking a few breaks here and there."
"That's what I want to hear. Speak to you soon."
"Bye Ukitake."
It was late afternoon and Rukia was meeting Renji at a coffee shop to visit each other before he had to go to some sort of architect's convention.
Rukia waited in her seat while Renji got the coffee for both of them.
"Congratulations Renji, you took so long I am now 1000 years old. Look at these wrinkles I have on my face." She pulled down her face while harassing Renji for taking so long.
"Oi tiny woman, it's not smart to provoke someone who is caring a hot beverage for you. I could accidently spill it on you."
"You wouldn't dare. You'd lose your only friend and then where would you be?"
"Free of your crazy antics that get me in trouble. Paradise."
"You know you would miss me."
"Keep thinking that. So how is your work coming along?"
Rukia beamed at getting to talk about her art.
"It's coming along great. I think this might be my best piece yet. I've had so many ideas flooding my brain it's hard to filter through which ones I want to use the most. All that's left is for the patina so set and for me to drill holes in the copper and hang the glass in the way I want it."
"Sounds like you have it all planned out." Renji sipped his coffee while Rukia kept talking.
"Oh, I have a bit of information to tell you what happened at the patron's banquette that I didn't get to tell you at the art museum. Kaien was there and he asked me for a second chance."
Renji spewed out his coffee all over the neighboring table like a water gun. Renji was in total embarrassment with coffee dripping from his chin.
"Holy Shit I am so sorry! Here let me get you some napkins."
Renji quickly got up and got the coffee soaked people some napkins and handy wipes, he was sure that spit mixed hot coffee was something he wouldn't want to be drenched in either.
Rukia observed the people next to her and had to stifle a chuckle. She was remembering when she threw the coffee at Ichigo and soaked him in it.
After Renji apologized for the millionth time, he sat back down and demanded that she spill her guts.
"Why didn't you tell me at the art museum? Do Momo and Toshiro know about this?"
"No they don't but I don't think they have to know about this. And it was too crowded there at the museum to say anything."
"Why not? They know everything Rukia."
"Renji look at me." Rukia smiled and stared at Renji.
Renji finally came to the conclusion that she wasn't upset, in fact she looked happy.
"Oh God Rukia, please tell me you didn't accept his apology?"
"Nope, not at all."
"Then why do you look so-"
Renji shook his head when he realized what was going on.
"You, oh Rukia you didn't. You got involved with that Ichigo didn't you?"
"Why is that so bad?"
"Look I'm happy that you are saying 'no' to Kaien but Rukia, babe, he is your PR."
"I'm still not seeing the problem with this."
"He works for you! How do you know that he isn't just doing this to get on your good side and then when your contract is up he'll leave you?"
"He won't do that." Rukia held her ground and smiled when taking a sip of her coffee.
"For Christ's sake, you're in love aren't you? There might as well be blue birds flying around your head and you singing a Disney song."
Rukia choked a little but looked back up to Renji. "It's too soon to tell. But I do know that he makes me happy. He drives me bonkers with the things he does and says sometimes, but nothing is perfect."
"Rukia I just don't want to see you get hurt again."
"Renji don't worry about me, I'll be fine. After surviving what Kaien did, well I'm sure I can survive anything."
"Won't argue with you there. I still think you need to tell Momo and Toshiro though. What happens if they find out from someone else?"
"I'll tell them later but they better not find out from someone else, because you are the only one that I have told. No one else knows so you better keep your mouth shut. We are keeping things quiet for now."
"Uh-Huh. See there, the keeping things quiet thing. I don't like it."
"Renji shut up and trust me that things are going to work out. Promise me."
Renji gave up and sighed. "Sure. I promise that I won't tell anyone."
"Thank you."
Renji and Rukia talked about what had happened the night of the patron's banquette and how things were working out with the art. Renji was happy to see Rukia so high spirited but still worried about her. He knew that he would pulverize Ichigo if he hurt her in anyway.
Sunday rolled around and Rukia had nothing planned. She just wanted to be lazy and enjoy the day that was given.
"10:30, it's sunny and warm outside. I wonder if I could get Ichigo to relax with me and take a walk around the area. Maybe go get some ice cream."
Rukia knew he was coming over but Ichigo wasn't there yet. She didn't get to see him yesterday because he had paper work to deal with but that's all he said.
She could tell when he was lying about things and knew for a fact that he was not working on any paper work, however she tried not to think about it.
Knock Knock Knock
"It's open!"
Ichigo walked in with a pad and what looked like charcoal to Rukia.
He can't be serious, not today! It's perfect outside.
Rukia thought he was kidding about drawing her. He didn't seem to have one artistic bone in his body, but there he stood with a sketch pad and some charcoal in a small tin can.
"No, no, no. Not today, it's too pretty outside and I want to enjoy it Kurosaki."
"What in the world are you talking about? Are you high?"
Rukia would have fallen off her chair if she were sitting on one.
Doesn't he want to draw me today?
"What's all that in your hand?"
"My sketching utensils. But don't worry I'm not sketching you today. Just bringing the supplies over for when I want to use it."
"I still can't believe that you can draw."
"Don't be so harsh Shorty. First Chappy drawing I saw that you drew wasn't too pretty."
"I still can't draw that damn bunny to this day." She muttered.
"Hmm, what did you say?"
"Nothing. So if you aren't going to draw me today then what do you have planned?"
"Not much, I just figured we would wait until your drill press got delivered today."
"Damn Kenpachi, I forgot to tell you, he phoned in to tell me that it would take another eight days for it to be delivered."
"How long can it take? He has that beast in his shop."
"That one you can't buy, it's just for looks. They had to order it out of a catalog and ship it. He mixed up the order and refunded you around ten percent yesterday. The money should be back in your account sometime today."
"That's good to hear. Well then I have nothing really else planned. What about you?"
"I just want to walk around and enjoy the day."
"Not working on your art?"
"Ehhh, I need a break from it and taking a break every now and then clears my head."
"So what do you propose we do Shorty?"
"Let's go get some ice cream and play something like twenty questions. Except only I get to ask and you have to answer in full."
Ichigo crossed his arms and took a step closer to Rukia before he spoke.
"That's not fair."
"Oh yes it is. You have found out a ton of shit about me and I hardly know anything about you it seems."
Ichigo looked up and heaved a sigh. "If it's what' ll make you happy."
"As a matter of fact, it will." Rukia went to her closet to change into a different shirt and raggedy old jeans.
"Oh and do you have your wallet?" She asked peeking her head out of her closet.
"Woman I'm not buying you any more tools!"
"I didn't say you were. We are shopping for you today."
"Wha-What?" Ichigo could hardly get the word out.
"Oh, you took me shopping so I think it's about time I take you shopping."
"You HATE shopping. And there is nothing wrong with my closet."
Rukia began to shove against his back and push him to the door.
"Just go along with it Kurosaki. Trust me."
"I'll trust you like I trust a hungry snake. You know what happened when Eve trusted the snake in the Garden of Eden? Because of that stupid woman, man got kicked out of paradise and got stuck with her for life."
"Oi, shut up. I'm not going to make you eat any forbidden fruit today. Just go."
"Ok, ok."
Ichigo and Rukia walked out the door and hunted until they found an ice cream shop. Rukia got vanilla while Ichigo got strawberry.
They went back outside with cones in hand and Rukia thought about her first question.
"Question number one, where does your family live?'
"Here in Kaurakra."
"Question number two, do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Yes two sisters, they're twins."
"Fraternal or identical?"
"Fraternal."
Rukia swirled her tongue around the ice cream and caught Ichigo's attention. He loved her mouth, it was perfectly proportioned and a beautiful color. She never had to wear lipstick or make up for that matter.
Ichigo was so caught off guard with her mouth on the ice cream that his ice cream began to drip down his fingers that were holding his cone.
"Ahh, shit. Do you have a napkin Shorty?"
"I'm the one asking questions here."
"I really do need some help. Look!"
Ichigo held up his cone to Rukia's face.
"You don't need a napkin, here."
Ichigo was about to protest to what she was about to do but stopped. She took the cone out of his right hand, placed it in his left and licked the ice cream off his fingers.
Rukia's tongue felt warm to the touch and with the cold ice cream that was on his fingers, the two temperatures that were being mixed felt enticingly good.
Ichigo closed his eyes and reverted back to the night at the museum when she sucked on him before and then how he sucked on her.
"There, all better." She licked her lips and kept walking.
She never knew what she had started up, it was literally up.
"Thank God for fitted jeans." He murmured to himself.
Ichigo quickly had to think of something that would… calm him.
Something sad, something sad, something unappealing, Jerry Springer! There we go.
"Hey how did you fall so behind?"
"Sorry, had to take care of something."
Rukia shrugged her shoulders and kept on the trail.
"So what's your next question for me?" Ichigo asked when he caught up to her.
"Let me think… Oooh I got one. Where did you get all your scars?"
"Well, the three on my back were from some kids at school would beat on me because of my hair color. And then the one on my shin and the two on my side were from my father. The one on my chest was from one of my sisters come to think about it."
"Christ's sake, you have an abusive family!"
"My father is a little crazy, but he means well. He does these things to toughen me up. And surprisingly they worked."
"Yikes, I don't know if I could ever meet your family."
"Who says you were ever going to?"
Rukai blushed and regretted saying it. "I didn't mean that I was going to meet your family anytime soon I was just-"
"I'm kidding Shorty, it's ok."
Rukia went back to her ice cream and bit the waffle cone.
"Out of questions already, we haven't even hit six yet."
"I've only asked you four."
"Nope you asked me why I had fallen behind when walking. That counts as one. So there has been five."
"You suck."
"But you like how I suck." He bent down to her ear and blew in it.
Rukia shuttered and then turned bright red. "Oi just shut up." She couldn't even yell at him because she liked how it felt.
"Ok then, question number six, how many women have you had?"
"You really want to know that?"
"Who's asking the questions here?"
"Fine. I've slept with about… seventeen, you included."
Rukia stopped and gapped at Ichigo.
"That's a lot of women."
"Don't worry. I'm free of any STDs or anything like that. I've been tested."
"I wasn't really worried about that. I was more worried that you are far more experienced than I am."
"Shorty, by the way you act in bed and around me, no you're not."
"Hey I'm not a whore!"
"I didn't insinuate that you were. I think it just comes naturally to you. Rukia you do things with out realizing them."
Rukia smiled to herself and licked her ice cream and continued walking with Ichigo as a small sense of satisfaction crept over her.
"Question number seven, where are all of these women?"
"Oh, a lot of them were in college. I met a few here and there when I got out of school. There were a few one night stands and then there is Nelliel from work."
"Did you not sleep with Orihime?"
Ichigo busted out in hysteria. "Oh God no! I have only considered her a really good friend. She liked me a lot but we never did anything."
"Have you ever been serious about anyone?"
"You should already know the answer to that Shorty."
Rukia popped the last bit of cone in her mouth and shook her head, even though she was sure she did know the answer.
"I'm pretty damn serious about you." Ichigo wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her up for a quick peck on the lips.
"Time for question number ten, are you ready?"
"Ready for what?"
"Ready for me to take you thrift store shopping?"
Ichigo's mouth dropped a little. "What? You've got to be kidding me right?"
"I'll take that as a no. But seriously it'll be fun, just come on."
Rukia tugged on Ichigo's shirt like she always did when she was stubborn about doing something.
"Please no, I have a pair of holey jeans and a few old wife beaters."
"Those jeans don't look church appropriate to me." Ichigo got what she was saying about his jeans being "holey."
"You know what I mean."
"Yes I know what you mean but you need to have some more comfortable clothes. Look at you; you're in a dress shirt with really nice designer jeans."
"So?"
"SO?!?! Loosen up."
"Compared to the me when we first met, I am loosened up."
"Won't argue with you there but there is always room for improvement."
Ichigo mumbled his statement, "This is not an improvement."
"I heard that!"
"Cause I wanted you to!"
Rukia went through all of the old clothes and found some comfortable sweats and t shirts for him to wear. She even found some work out shorts that were black and two pairs of jeans that were a brand name that had holes in the back pockets and in the knees. Ichigo handed the cashier his credit card to pay for his "new" clothes.
"I'm guessing I'm only allowed to wear these around you now?"
"Pretty much, but not to certain social events that you have planned. I understand that you have a reputation to up hold."
"These clothes better be the most comfortable that I have ever worn or they're being thrown out."
"I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed." Rukia and Ichigo continued walking back to the apartment to put the clothes up.
"Ok so back to our little question game, why did you switch out of the art class my freshman year?"
Ichigo spaced out a little and then came back.
"It's not what you think."
"Well what I think is because I punched you and you got so pissed off that you switched."
"Naw, that wasn't it."
"Really? Then spill my good sir."
Ichigo stopped and scratched the back of his head.
"It was because of my mother. She was diagnosed with a rare cancer and they weren't sure how long she would live. So the school decided that I could switch my schedule around and leave school early so I could spend more time with her. She passed away the summer that I graduated."
Rukia could tell she had trespassed on some touchy territory and felt bad.
"I'm sorry."
"We were really close. It was just painful when she passed away."
"We don't have to continue the questions, I can-"
"No, please continue. I'm ok, really."
Rukia hesitated but spoke up after a few minutes.
"What are your favorite memories?"
"The ones dealing with the family and my mother. I remember one time that my mom had let my sisters play with one of the neighborhood kids who was a boy and my father flipped out and told her that the kid would impregnate their little angles. My mother slapped him upside the head and told him he was paranoid. I've never seen my father so shocked when she did it. The moment was priceless."
"Mmm, let me think… what's your favorite food?"
"Well, I eat mostly health food but my sister Yuzu cooks the best meals. During a holiday or a birthday I have to make sure to eat carefully because I will over eat her food."
"How old are your sisters?"
"They're both 20. My dad is flipping out about their birthdays coming up soon because they'll turn 21. I think he has hit that point in his life where he is having a mid life crisis because of it."
"Hahaha I bet that's funny to see."
"More like scary. He bought an Elvis suit to wear around the house and sang A Big Hunk O Love for days. Oh the agony!" Ichigo sarcastically covered his ears and shook his head.
"How long has it been since you've seen them?"
"Not too long, maybe about two months. I'm planning on going and seeing them within the next few weeks."
They both walked up to the door and stood around.
"How's about I save my other questions for later? Would that be ok?"
"Sure, What? The last few answers scare you about my family?"
"No not all. You're luck Ichigo, to have a family that you can be yourself around."
Rukia pulled out the key and unlocked the door to let them in.
Ichigo put down his bags and turned Rukia around to face him.
"Hey Shorty, you alright?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"No you're not, I can tell. What's wrong?"
"I'm jealous. You have a family that accepts you no matter what you chose to do. My brother loves me and I know that, but we never laugh or talk the way you and your family do. You're so lucky; please tell me you know that."
Ichigo understood what Rukia was getting at.
"Shorty, maybe your brother is just worried about you. He might even worry so much that he's tried to suffocate you with protection that he didn't realize he was doing it."
Rukia could tell that Ichigo was dead serious.
"Thanks. I'm sure I've known that but just needed someone to remind me about it."
"No problem. So what else do you want to do today?"
Rukia and Ichigo continued their day with going to the park while sleeping in the sun and watching movies all night.
"Hey Rukia?"
"Yeah?" She called from the studio.
"I have to go and speak with Urahara today but I'll be back tonight. Want to go and have dinner somewhere?"
"Sure, but let's just go somewhere casual."
"When you say casual, I might be thinking of something different than you." Ichigo had a skeptical sound to his voice.
"I mean nice jeans and a nice shirt. I promise not to wear sweats or anything like that."
"Works for me. I'll be back around seven ok."
"See you then!"
Ichigo left Rukia's apartment to go to the office.
As he got up to the conference room he saw Grimmjow there.
Why is he always in my meetings with Urahara?
"Urahara… Grimmjow. How's life?"
Urahara smiled and fanned himself. "Life is wonderful Ichigo. Our meeting today is about Byakuya. Have you figured out if he is going to see Rukia anytime soon?"
Ichigo already felt uncomfortable.
"Well, I think he might show up when Rukia's art is being presented. But that's only a maybe."
"That's more than the rest of these lazy asses have found out. Good job Ichigo."
"Thanks."
"Has Rukia eased up on you? Or are things still a bit bumpy?"
"No they're fine."
"Have you considered what I said on…complying with her demands."
"Yes, but I don't think that I can do that. I'd rather just be professional Urahara."
"I'm so proud of you! That was a test to see if you would give into temptation."
Ichigo coughed when his boss told him that. "Umm, sir you were dead serious about doing what you were insinuating."
"Only about maybe taking her out on a few dates for fun. Sleeping with her, no."
Ichigo could see Grimmjow messing with something in his coat, it looked like a pen. Grimmjow smiled when he noticed it bothering Ichigo.
Stop clicking that damn pen and interrupting my meeting you moron.
"Anyways, keep up the good work and report back to me if you find out anything about Byakuya alright."
"Can I ask why Grimmjow is here?"
"He is here for your competition. He is the back up if you don't stay Rukia's permanent PR. It was decided yesterday."
Ichigo clenched his fists.
"Yeah right. You wish Grimmjow, she's mine."
"Oh Kurosaki, lighten up. A little competition is good for the soul." And with those final words Grimmjow left the room.
"I really don't like him Urahara."
"You're going to have to get over it. He is bringing in some good money and publicity with Orihime and his other clients."
"If you say so. Well I'm off. I have to take care of something with Rukia."
"Take care." Urahara waved at him with his cane.
Ichigo walked back in the apartment and heard the shower running.
"Hey Shorty, I'm back! When do you think you'll be ready?"
Ichigo heard her speak but couldn't understand her. The music was too loud as usual.
For the love of all that is holy. I swear she'll be deaf in just a few more years at this rate. God what is she listening to? It sounds like porn music.
Ichigo walked in the bathroom and saw Rukia in the shower.
Big mistake, we're not going to dinner tonight.
Ichigo started to take off his clothes and in record time.
He opened up the door and startled Rukia, so much that he had to catch her so she wouldn't slip and fall.
"Oh God, don't do that!"
"Don't do what?" And Ichigo began to knead her hips against the front of him.
"Umm-uhhh- y-you can do that all you want."
"Glad I can be of service." Ichigo pushed on Rukia to back her up against the wall without a faucet.
Rukia was digging her fingers in his "fuck me lines" and licking the water running down his chest.
Ichigo wondered if he should have started this up, he didn't have any condoms with him. "Rukia we can't have-"
"I'm on the pill." She said it so quickly that Ichigo wasn't sure he had heard her right.
"How in the hell did you get on the pill so fast?"
"Do you really want to talk about that now or act on my words?"
Rukia's eye brow cocked up in a sexy arch and had a side smile on her lips.
Ichigo threw his questions out the window and brought her up to his mouth and ruthlessly kissed her. Rukia wrapped her wet legs around his waist and settled him in her.
Ichigo pushed her more into the wall when she did and moaned uncontrollably.
Rukia started to bite at his neck and shoulder when he would thrust her against the wall.
"Ichi-Ichigo!"
Ichigo sat on the small bench ledge that was in the shower and kept Rukia on his lap while he was still in her.
Rukia grounded herself against Ichigo and threw her head back.
Ichigo's hands tightened on her hips. He couldn't help but stare at her breasts that were perked up, soaked and moving in rhythm with her every move.
His mouth went directly to the right one and sucked away.
"Bite me." Rukia moaned out.
Ichigo was a little surprised but did what she asked and found out it was one of her weaknesses. She screamed in pleasure and closed any gap that was between them. Ichigo could feel her inner walls contracting and wanted her to come for him.
He took hold of her around the waist when he got up and slammed her against the wall so hard that she thought she might have a bruise later.
Rukia's and Ichigo's mouth fought for authority while Ichigo's thrusts quickened their pace. Their bodies created an unusual sensation when they were both soaked from the water.
Rukia couldn't control her breathing and had to lift her head up so she wouldn't faint from lack of oxygen.
She couldn't hold on any more and let go of her release. Ichigo could feel the liquids spill on him and that's what did it form him.
He filled Rukia with his orgasm and almost collapsed. Ichigo still had hold of Rukia and had to sit on the bench ledge. His arms wrapped around her and kissed the area in between her neck and shoulder. Rukia just whimpered when his arms tightened around her. Their bodies were soaked on the outside and inside.
Ichigo looked down to where they were still connected and saw their fluids mixed. It was a sight he loved. Ichigo pulled back on Rukia's hair to tilt back her head and licked her neck. Her throat vibrated with moans that Ichigo was providing her with.
"I wouldn't mind if you came here and did that more often."
Ichigo smiled and slid his hands down to her ass.
"I wouldn't mind making this a routine part of our day." He whispered in her ear and tickled the baby hairs on her.
Rukia slid Ichigo out and kept her arms around him while she got off of his lap.
"Well since you dirtied me up when I was clean, I need to get cleaned up again. And looking at you and the state you're in you need to be cleaned off too. So how's about you clean me and I clean you."
"You don't have to ask me twice."
Rukia had to bat Ichigo away a few times so they wouldn't have sex again and so they could actually get clean.
The rest of the night was eating in Chinese take out and working on her art.
Ukitake's cell phone rang loudly while he was in his office.
"Hello, Ukitake here."
"Ukitake it's me, Ichigo."
"Ichigo, I was just about to call you."
"So did her brother agree to the account for her car?"
"He did in fact."
"Did he have any conditions about what type of car that she had to buy?"
"Nope. All he said was to make sure that it was a car that she would enjoy for a long time."
"I take it he's not going to let her buy multiple cars."
"That would be my guess. The account will be set up tomorrow so Saturday should be a go if you want to take her car shopping then."
"Thanks Ukitake."
"No Ichigo thank you."
The conversation ended there and Ukitake smiled and decided that he was the best pick for Rukia and her art work.
"Get Up, Get Up! Rise and Shine Sleepy Head!" Ichigo was acting like a kid on a sugar high at Rukia's apartment.
Rukia peered at the iDock and saw it was seven in the morning.
"Shut the FUCK up and go back to bed you idiot. It's too early in the morning for this shit."
"Oh my, did mother nature decided to grace you with her presence this morning? I thought you weren't due for another two weeks."
Rukia shot out of bed and chased Ichigo with a pillow around the entire apartment.
"That is none of you business you bastard!"
Ichigo had to dodge the pillows being thrown at him at full velocity.
"Oh but I think it is my business considering I'm fucking you."
"Oh where is my cup of coffee when I need it to throw at you?"
Ichigo ran up behind Rukia and grabbed her by the waist and hauled her in the kitchen area and sat her on a stool.
"Here you go, and be sure to get enough caffeine. You want to be wide awake this morning."
"Why? A warm and comfy bed is where I want to be. Not up at the crack of dawn."
"Trust in me Shorty."
"Uh-Huh. Sure."
Ichigo was pulling out Rukia's nice jeans and her nice blouse for her to wear.
"Hey, it's hot outside and I want to wear shorts."
"Nope not today, you're wearing this and not complaining."
"Why, oh God I'm not being set up for an opening with kids or meeting another beauty pageant consultant am I?"
"Nope, you'll have fun. Now get dressed and hurry up."
What on earth does he have up his sleeve? He's acting like a lunatic.
Rukia got dressed and brushed her teeth and put her hair in a low ponytail.
As soon as Rukia got close to the door Ichigo put a blind fold on her eyes.
"Wha-Hey! Ichigo what the hell? Ok you should know this about me but I'm not the one for much kinky sex, I mean once in a while yeah but-"
"As much as I would love to have kinky sex with you right now, this is not that. Although I might have to try that out sometime with you. This is a surprise. No fussing. Come with me."
"You're going to have to take my hand, I can't see genius."
"Oh yeah, here." Ichigo grabbed for her.
Rukia felt herself lifted up in a cradle position and being carried as soon as he said it.
Rukia was kept blind folded in the car the entire ride and didn't know what to expect.
"Are we there yet?"
"Almost. You know I have heard little kids being more patient than you."
"What do you expect from me? I'm blind folded and hauled off to God only knows where, you better be glade I'm not calling the cops on your ass."
"After this, you'll be kissing mine Shorty."
"I highly doubt that."
"I'll make you a deal, if you love what I am about to do for you, then I get to tie you up and do whatever I want to you."
"Oh, it's a deal. And if I don't love whatever it is you're doing for me I get to us a whip on you."
"I thought you said you weren't a kinky type of person."
"I said most of the time."
"Well I might have to find that whip of yours."
"You'll never find it Kurosaki."
Ichigo parked the car and got out. Rukia could hear the car door being shut and looked around.
As if that's going to help, you're blind folded Einstein.
"Here's my hand, be prepared to beg for mercy when I undo this blind fold." Rukia could hear the grin on Ichigo's face.
"Be prepared to call me master when I get my whip out. Oh just so you know there is no safety word." She warned him.
Ichigo undid the blind fold and Rukia gasped. There she stood in the middle of a vintage car lot with dozens of cars. Rukia twirled around to stare at Ichigo who was beaming at Rukia's expression.
"What is this?"
"You my soon to be tied up friend, get to buy your own car today. I talked to Ukitake and he put money in an account for you just for this."
"How in the world?"
"Remember the banquette that we went to? Your name was mentioned in a column about that night and nothing but good things were said about you and your charms. Your brother read about it as was impressed. He allowed Ukitake to let you do this."
"And you asked this for me?"
"Well I know how you like fancy cars and love to drive mine, so I thought that this would be a fun outing for you."
Rukia spotted the car she wanted out of the many that were there on the lot. She ran to the car that caught her eye, an Aston Martin DB2/4 Bertone Spyder 1954. It was the color of her eyes, a deep violet color and white leather interior.
"This one! Oh I want this one!"
She hopped in the driver's seat and hugged the steering wheel.
"This lady buying a car today?" The car salesman asked.
"Sure is, here is the credit card. She can pay it in full."
The car salesman took the card with eagerness and went to get the paper work for Rukia to fill out.
"So what was it about you telling me that I was the one who was going to be screaming 'master'?"
Rukia sweetly smiled at Ichigo. "Have I ever told you that you have the sexiest smile in the whole wide world?"
"Why thank you Shorty, and just so you know, I will find that whip and here's another bit of information…" Ichigo bent down to Rukia hovering over her head. The grin that was on his face was nothing short of evil.
"There's no safety word when I'm master either."
Rukia gulped and wondered if she was going to be able to walk or move for that matter for the next few days after Ichigo was done with her.
"Kaien, I can get you two back together. All you have to do is follow my lead."
"Why should I trust you? You have an ominous feel about you and besides, what's in it for you might I ask?"
"Do you want the girl back or not? I have other things to be doing with my time and I could be spending it the way that I want instead of trying to help some helpless man."
"No. I want her back, but things are so messed up that I don't even think God could fix them."
"My friend, God does not have the tricks I have up my sleeve."
"What? Do you plan to set up something and take pictures and send them to her?"
"Not at all. Pictures can be digitally altered. For her to believe what I'm going to set up she has to see it and hear it for herself."
"She's not as irrational as you think."
"Precisely why I'm going to have to time everything perfect. I need any information you can give to me about her, including her brother."
"I really don't have anything on him."
"You dated for two years, I'm sure you have something."
A/N: WHAT??? More Drama to come with Kaien? Ooooooh the torture! HAHAHA. Sorry I am a bit delirious from lack of sleep.
Hope that you guys thought the chapter was good!
And guess what, some happy news for all... Christmas Break is coming up! FREEDOM! I'll update soon like always.
THANKS
