Crazy trouble with love part 7

Female Kototsu and Ichigo

Series: Bleach

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Ichigo was working on his homework with Keigo and Mizuiro for a group study session." "Keigo, for the last time X does not equal Pie, it will never equal food." He groaned in annoyance.

"But I want some." He groaned while on the floor.

"Well there is none, now accept that." he growled in annoyance. "Mizuiro, do you know what the answer for number three is?"

"I got 347, what about you?"

"I got 16….that is definitely not a good sign." Ichigo said with a groan. "Damn it, I hate math."

"I need a break." Groaned Keigo sitting up. "Let's go out and get a bite to eat."

"Alright, I could use a bite to eat." Mizuiro said as he stood up. "What about you Ichigo, you coming?"

"I'll pass, I wanna try and work this out on my own." He said as he waved his hand.

"Ok, see you later then." Keigo said as they left the red head alone.

'Honestly I wouldn't mind visiting the Soul Society at this point, these stupid questions are driving me nuts.' He thought as he leaned back before his eyes widened. 'Say, why can't I visit them, I've seen the captains open portals through the Dangai all the time, plus it's been awhile since I've seen Rukia or Renji, if her bastard of a brother can open one then why can't I?'

He stood up and pulled his badge out from the desk drawer before using it to exit his body and made sure it landed on the bed before picking Kon up from the pillow and gave him a shake. "Hey, wake up, I have a mission for you." He said as the stuffed animals eyes opened. "I'm going to Soul Society and I don't know how long I'm going to be gone, so I am going to tell you this once, you are to act like me, not do ANYTHING perverted in my body, and if I am asked even one question about my behavior when I get back you're gonna be Yuzu's toy for the rest of your natural life, am I clear?"

"Relax, I'll put on such a good act it'll be like you never left." He smirked before the neck was squeezed, popping the pill out before it landed in Ichigo's body's mouth before he sat up.

"Remember, be on your best behavior, now I have to figure out how to open a portal to the Dangai."

"Trust me, everything will be fine, no one will know that you're gone." He waved off while Ichigo went through the ceiling with ease. "Now then, where did I hide the porn I bought last time I was in this body?" he chuckled as he looked around.

Meanwhile Ichigo was on the roof and scratching his head. 'Alright, maybe if I try to copy what they tried it'll work on it's own.' He said as he scratched his head. 'I think it had to do something with a butterfly? Aw screw it, if I was able to break into soul society it can't be that hard to enter the Dangai, right?'

He held his hand out and tried focusing on making a huge hole. 'Come on, you can do it!' He thought as he closed his eyes and concentrated. He felt power beginning to build up and tried to focus harder. 'Almost there, just gotta keep it up!' He thought as a black hole began to slowly form in his hand that was starting to slowly expand. 'I just need to make it bigger!'

The hole twitched the more power he put into it and expanded slightly faster. "I think I'm doing it!" He groaned as he pushed even more power into it. "Almost there…" When it grew big enough he stopped the flow and panted while it stayed there. "Whew...that took a lot out of me...I guess that's why they use those stupid hell butterflies. He panted as he looked at it. "Next stop, Soul Society."

With that he lunged into it and found himself in the Dangai. "Man, this place is just as freaky as I remember." He said as the portal closed behind him. "Ok, now I just gotta get out of here before that stupid-" He was cut off when he started to feel the ground shake. "Oh shit!' He swore as he looked behind him to see a single bright light on top of what looked like a moving black mass heading right towards him, so large it touched either side of the walls of the Dangai. "That!"

He turned and began to run as fast as he could, only looking behind him to see how close it was. "Shit shit shit, where's the portal?"

The Kototsu kept moving while making the substitute panic and kick his knees up. "Why does this stupid thing appear everytime I enter this place?!"

He kept running as fast as he could but there was no sign of the portal anywhere. He felt like the thing was getting closer and put more energy into his running, but looked up ahead and saw the tunnel seemingly go downward and paled. "Oh come on, is there a drop off now?!" He groaned as he had no choice but to run towards it.

The Kototsu kept going, but when the ground went downwards so did it and the speed picked up immediately. It began to catch up to Ichigo at a considerable rate and soon it was right at his heels, almost touching them as it got closer and closer.

"Go away, don't you have anything else to do?!" He yelled feeling his life on the line and could feel some weird suction when it started getting near the back of his clothes. When he didn't get any response he just groaned and tried to put more energy into running only to finally realize how much energy he had used to to even make the portal in the first place and he was getting exhausted from all the running. He cursed before his arm went back too far and hit the Kototsu before he suddenly felt a fading feeling around it and wound up falling backwards into it to where he seemingly fell into black water.

His eyes widened as he tried to find a way out, but he just kept feeling like he was falling back farther and farther until he hit something that felt like a sheet of plastic as he began to slowly go through it until he fell out and landed on something hard with a groan. "Fuck! I got….killed?" He groaned as he looked up to see he was in what looked like a large dumpster with a door built into the side with random pieces of garbage around him. "Where the hell am I?"

That's when said door slowly opened and he saw light illuminate the inside causing him to cover his eyes. He blinked several times and saw the blurry outline of someone picking up random pieces of trash and bringing them through the door before he felt two hands grab him and pull him towards the door. "Huh? Hey, who are you? What's going on?"

"Wait, you're alive?! Wow, usually the ones I pick up are dead." He heard a female's voice say in amazement as he was brought outside of the dumpster as his vision began to clear up. He slowly saw he was in some kind of living room with random stuff all around before he was let go and fell on his back. "That's a first."

"Ugh….who are you?" He groaned as he looked up to see a tall skinny woman with average sized breasts and ass wearing a dirty pair of overalls and the tattered remains of a shirt that must had been white at some point. She wasn't wearing any shoes and her skin was purplish and her eyes were yellow with her hair being long and black.

"Oh! Well I'm the Kototsu." She said with a smile as she picked up a large bag that she began to put pieces of trash in.

"Wait...you're the Kototsu?! B-but then what was that thing out there that sucked me up?"

"Oh that was me too, but like, a big outer part of me, know what I mean?"

"...no, not at all." He deadpanned as he looked around. "So….this is inside the Kototsu where you, the Kototsu live? I am completely lost." He said as she grinned and picked him up with ease.

"Simple, you know how this whole spot is right in between the mortal world and the spirit world?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Well, I am in charge of keeping it clean. I get to pick up everything that's left behind by the shinigami or whoever else enters here and it becomes my new treasures!" She smiled. "The outer layer is how I can move around so fast, otherwise it'd take forever on foot, so in a way, think of it like one of those subway things you humans use plus holding a dimensional home inside for all the stuff I find."

"Wow, that's...kind of amazing." He remarked while she dragged him over and plopped him down on a worn out couch. "But wait, how long have you been around for?"

"Oh you know, a really long time, about since the Dangai was formed." She said with a smile. "So a few millennia or so, I've kind of lost track."

'Damn, that sounds older than that head captain.' He thought as she looked at him with a grin. "Sooo...you've been cleaning the Dangai since you appeared?" He asked curiously.

"Yep, plus I can't leave this place ever, this is my job and my purpose." She said with a sigh. "That's why it gets a little lonely, but when I get more stuff my collection grows and it feels much better." She said as she sat down next to him. "When I first appeared this place was empty and bare, but now it looks like a home! And today I just got a new great thing to add to my collection."

"What's that?"

"You! I finally have some company!" She cheered happily. "Now I don't have to be alone!"

"Wait what?!" He went wide eyed while she casually looked at the stuff around the room.

"Let's see, where would you go best...you do look good on the broken sofa but maybe you'd look good next to the old pictures I found?" She muttered as she looked around.

"Uh, sorry to break this to you, but I can't stick around."

"Or maybe you would look go- I'm sorry, what did you say?" She said as she turned to him.

"I can't stay." He replied standing up. "I have a home to get back to."

She stared at him and blinked a few times before smiling and laughing. "Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my, t-that's a good one!"

"I'm serious." He frowned walking over to the door.

"Y-you can't leave, there's no way out of me." She laughed as he started to open the door. "Besides, you're mine now, I picked you up so you're part of my collection."

"Doesn't work that way with me." He replied before the door locked shut and wouldn't budge.

"I don't think you comprehend what has happened, you are inside me, I am a being whose one job is to keep in all the garbage I find and I can't let anything out, and why would I let you go, your the first company I've had in years." She said as she got up and walked towards him. "So I'd get comfy, you're sticking around for the rest of your life."

"What?! I can't do that, I have people waiting for me!" He shouted in annoyance.

"Well, for all intents and purposes, you're dead to them."

"But I'm in my shinigami form now, can I even die like this?"

"Shinigami form? You make it sound like you have more than one."

"Well, technically speaking I was a human, but I got turned into a Shinigami so I'm a temporary one, my soul is a shinigami while my body back on earth is human with a mod soul in it, it gets kind of confusing if I go into all the details."

"Hmmm, that is confusing, I don't follow." She replied bluntly.

"Just….look, I am a human, but currently I am a shinigami so I don't know if I can die like this, or at least of natural causes, ok?"

"Oh! Ok that makes more sense, why didn't you say so." She smiled making him fall down anime style.

"I did say that, you just don't understand." He groaned as he got back up. "Look, bottom line is I have little sisters back home who I have to get back to, and a goat faced father as well so could you please just let me out?"

"Mmmmm, nope, no can do." She said with a smile. "I've been without company for milenia, most bodies I find are wither corpses or disintegrating hollows, and those are no fun so I disintegrate them into spirit particles to help fuel me." She said with a smile.

'Shit!' He thought as his eyes widened. 'Am I stuck here until I can find a way out?'

"This is going to be fun, I've always wanted a room mate." She said with a smile as she sat down on the couch. "So what's your name?"

"It's Ichigo Kurosaki, substitute soul reaper." He said with a sigh.

"Great! Well, make yourself at home roomey, I'll see if I can get some guest bed set up." She said with a grin as she got up. "We're going to have so much fun! I'll get out the games I've managed to suck up later."

'Even if it's been millenia, it's not like there have been tons of those in here...right?' He thought as he watched her move towards the door and open it with ease. "How many rooms are there in here?"

"Mmm, just a few, my body doesn't have the need to sustain nutrients like humans so I have no need for something silly like a bathroom like humans."

"Alright… I might need one...or do I? I don't know…. So if you only have a few rooms, why do you have a guest bed?"

"I felt like it would fit." She called as she opened another door and began to get things set up. "It's not that big of a room though, just enough for a bed."

'Damn it, she's really set on me sticking around.' He thought as he got up and began to follow after her. 'I have to get her to realize I can't stay, there has to be something to convince her, she can't be serious about it being impossible to leave, right?'

"Sorry if it feels small, but after a couple hundred years you'll probably get use to it." She said as he approached her to see her in a small room a bit bigger than the closet Rukia had slept in back home with a worn mattress and sheets inside it taking up over half of the floor.

"I don't think I could wait that long." He muttered.

"Well, sorry, it's the only guest bed I got, the only bigger bed here is mine….my, you're quite bold, wanting to sleep in the bigger bed with me." She said with a blush.

"What? N-No! I never said that." He blushed.

"We've only just met and that's that's on your mind already? My new roommate seems to be a pervert!" She laughed making him look away embarrassed.

"T-That's not it at all and you know it! If anything you're the pervert for thinking that!"

"Come now, if we're gonna be living together now it's better to be open and honest, just try not to stare at me too long." She said with a smile as she began to walk out of the room.

"Well, I don't expect to be here that long anyway, like I said I have to go." He muttered as he looked around the room before following her. "Can't we come up with some kind of deal?"

"Like I said before, you can't go, and even if there was a way why would I voluntarily give up one of my greatest finds?"

"To be kind and considerate?"

"I clean the Dangai for free and the only thing I demand is that I get to keep everything I pick up, and I picked you up, so I got you fair and square." She giggled with a smile. "Besides, I gave you a nice guest room from my very small living space, isn't that nice of me?"

"Well, yeah, but-"

"Plus now I have a roomate, I'm no longer alone after countless years of just being alone, it gets boring in here when you're all alone."

'Did she really need to say alone three times?' He thought as he began to feel bad. 'Is she trying to guilt trip me into staying with her?'

"All alone in this lonely home, no one to say hello or morning too, and with me being basically immortal, it would be an unending nightmare." She said with a big sigh before looking at him. "But then I found you, a real person who's not a corpse, someone I can finally talk to, have a conversation with, someone I can actually do stuff with, it's great now I won't have to be alone ever again!"

He groaned. "Alright fine, I'll stick around." 'At least until I find a way out.'

"Great! This is going to be so much fun! So, what should we do first?" She asked as she looked at him with a big grin.

"I don't know, what do you wanna do?"

"Ummm….ooh, I got it, I'll go get the games I've collected!" She said as she ran off to another room. "Wait for me in the living room!"

He sighed before heading back to said area. "I wonder what games she's found in the Dangai?" He muttered as he sat down on the couch.

"Here they are!" she called running back with an armful of board games. "They're a bit worn but I think we can still play them, it'll be fun to play with someone besides myself!"

"Just what kind are they?"

"Let's see, we have this one that's called...checkers? It has a few red and black pieces but it doesn't say how to play." She said as she held up a ripped box that had the words 'checkerboard' on it.

"I think that's a western game."

"Really? Huh, if you say so, do you think we'll be able to play it?"

"Sure, I played it a few times." He said with a shrug as she opened the box to show a battered board and several checkers, though it seemed like about half of them were missing.

"Great, I could use tips since I'm lost on how to really play." SHe said as she set the board out.

"Ok, well, it's pretty simple, one person has red and the other has black pieces, and you place them on the black squares and you can only move on the black ones diagonally one every turn. You try to hop over the enemies pieces to take them off the board and once you have them all you win."

"Oh! That's sound simple enough, I'll be red."

"Ok, I'll be black." He said as he looked down to see there were only five black pieces remaining in the box. 'Figures.'

"Alright, you ready to play?" She asked a hse set up all her red pieces.

"Yes, but I think I'm going to lose."

"Oh come on, it won't be that bad."

(Later)

"I win!" She cheered with a smile as Ichigo groaned. "Let's play again."

"Fine, can I be the red pieces this time?"

"No, I like them!"

He groaned as they reset the board. 'Maybe I can psych her out and make her lose focus.' "So...what did you do before you met me for fun? Did you have a boyfriend?"

She blinked and blushed before looking away. "Y-You're asking me something like that out of nowhere? I knew you were a pervert, a bold one."

"Hey, there's nothing perverted about asking if you had a boyfriend before me, I couldn't have been the first guy you've sucked up, right?"

"Mmmm, well….there was a couple hollows who I tried to be friendly too, but they just kept trying to eat me so I had to kill them instead."

"Ok, so….you've never had a boyfriend then?" He asked as he double jumped two of her pieces.

"Nope, not one."

"Well, that kind of sucks, I hope you find one someday." He said as he jumped over another of her pieces.

"Hmmm….I just might." She said as she looked at him quickly with a grin. "I got a feeling I'll have one eventually."

'Why did I suddenly get a cold feeling?' Ichigo thought as he lightly shuddered as he jumped over another space. "King me. So, what did you do for fun here before you sucked me up?"

"Mostly organize my collection over and over to change things up." She said as she moved her pieces closer to him. "That and pick up more stuff for my collection, usually I only make my rounds once a week."

"Have you ever talked to any other shinigami?"

"No, though I have found the remains of some, their clothes make interesting decorations after I turn their bodies into fuel."

"So you can't even call them up for a little chat?"

"No, I don't have any way to contact anyone outside or in the Dangai, plus when people see me they run away." She sighed with a frown. "You are literally the first person I've ever talked too."

"Wait, if you just clean the Dangai once a week, what do you do with the other six days?"

"Well, usually I either look over my collection, or I talk to myself, or I sleep even though I don't need too." She said with a shrug.

"Well I mean like your outer body, does it keep moving or just stop altogether?"

"Well, it usually stops and sinks into the floor of the Dangai and I remerge to start my rounds, during that time I focus all my consciousness into this part of my body." She remarked moving a piece. "King me."

"Well, that sounds kind of….boring, how have you kept yourself from going insane?" He asked as he moved his piece and took one of her pieces again and grinned.

"I lost the concept of that a long time ago." She remarked before letting out a loud cackle while holding her sides before resuming her calm expression and moved her piece.

"O-ok….good to know." he said as he looked at her in shock as he moved his piece.

"Don't worry, after an eon or so you might be just like me." She said with a smile as she moved another piece. "King me."

'Shit! I REALLY gotta get a way out then!' He thought as his eyes widened in horror as he looked down and moved his piece again and hopped over her king before grinning. "I win."

"Huh?" She blinked looking down. "Aw man!"

"Well, that was fun and all, but what other games do you have?"

"Well there's this one game called 'spin the bottle' but I never got what was so fun about it." She replied putting a box down with a plastic bottle attached to it.

"Um...uh….that's ones not really fun so we don't need to play it!" He spoke quickly with a blush.

"Really? But this box says that it's 'the funnest game in town' and that it's 'the most fun you'll ever have'. Are you saying they're lying?"

"Yes, yes they are, they'll put that for just about any new game that comes out." He said as he shook his head. "Besides, you said it wasn't fun, right?"

"Yeah, but it says it's a multiplayer game, plus it's one of the only ones I have so even if it's no fun I wanna play it!" She smiled before looking at the instructions on the back. "Let's see….."

'Damn it, why do I have the feeling this isn't going to go well?' He thought as she read the instructions before blushing a bit and grinning.

"Ooh, we're definitely trying this one."

"Um, t-that's not necessary, trust me, ok? Why don't we play checkers again?" He said quickly as she shook her head.

"Forget it, let's play!" She said as she set the bottle down on the floor and made Ichigo sit down next to it as she set down on the other side. "Alright, should I spin it or should you?"

"Uh….hey what's that!" He yelled pointing behind her.

"Huh? A new thing?! Let me see!" She said as she turned her head around quickly before looking confused. "That's just my wall, what were you pointing at Ichig- hey!"

Ichigo ran off into the guest room and slammed the door shut while rattling his mind for something to get him out before it clicked.

"Ichigo get back here right now!" She called as she got up and walked towards the guest room holding the bottle.

'Maybe if I try like last time I can open a hole to use!' He thought as he began to hold his hand out and concentrate as the began to bang on the door.

"Ichigo let me in right now! You are not getting out of this!" She yelled knocking on the door.

"Um….kind of busy!" He called as he tried to gather his energy into his palm.

"Open up or I'm coming in! We're still in my body and I can just appear in there!" She threatened as she kept banging on the door.

He strained harder, but nothing happened before the door opened up and she walked in.

"Ichigo what are you doing, we still have a game to play, now come with me, I'll spin the bottle first. Wait….are you trying to open a door out of here?"

"Uh….no?" He said nervously as he tried to put more energy into his hand with nothing happening.

"You are, aren't you!" She glared before grabbing his wrist and dragged him out of the room. "Not on my watch!"

"Hey, let me go! I have to leave!"

"Oh no you're not! You're stuck here damn it!" She made him sit down and sat on his lap making him blush. "Now let's play."

"Um….do we have to?" He asked as she glared at him.

"Yes, now be quiet." She set it on the board before giving it a spin. "Come on, land on me, land on me!" She said as it kept spinning before it began to slow down and pointed at them.

'Kinda hard not to if we're the only two here.' He thought as he rolled his eyes as she grinned.

"Yes, now let's see if it lands on you!" She said as she spun it again. "I really hope it does~."

'It's just gonna point away.' He thought as it began to stop and pointed away from them. "Oh no, it's not pointing at me, oh well."

She frowned before whistling and nudged it before it pointed at him. "Oh would you look at that."

"Hey, you moved it, that doesn't count!" He said as she looked at him with a grin and licked her lips. 'Shit! She's not listening!'

"Now then, I think I owe you one kiss, it's the rules after all~." She said as she began to move her head towards his.

He blushed before she grabbed his cheeks and pressed their lips together. His face turned as red as his hair as he felt her soft lips against his. 'I-Is this really happening?!'

'This is so much more fun with two people!' She thought keeping her grip before licking his lips asking for entrance. His eyes widened as his lips parted as surprise, letting her tongue in before he realized what happened. 'Yes, he loves it as much as I, I think I found my new favorite game!'

'I can actually taste her tongue!' He thought as he blushed even more before he tried to pull his head back. 'I think this has gone far enough!'

She wrapped her legs around him and moaned while rubbing all across his tongue with her own. 'I don't want this to ever end, I just want to spend the rest of time like this!' She thought as Ichigo's eyes widened as in his attempt to move back he fell on his back with her on top of him, pinning him to the floor.

'Crap!' He thought before he managed to push her up by the shoulders while she sighed and he was stunned. "Y...you frenched me."

"Is that what that's called? Well, either way I liked it, let's do it again!" She said with a grin.

"N-no, we're not doing it again, alright?"

"Why not? Didn't you like it?"

"Well, uh….t-that's not the point!" He said with a blush. "L-Let's just play another game."

"Awww…..fine, but we're playing the bottle one later for sure!" She said with smile as she got off of him.

'I gotta get out of here.'

(Timeskip)

"And checkmate." Spoke Ichigo who looked older with his hair grown out and having a beard before putting the knight down.

"No fair, you won again!" She groaned as she crossed her arms. "You keep winning all the time, it's not fair!"

"Practice makes perfect." He chuckled while she pouted. "Relax, it's only a game."

"But I wanna win!" She groaned as he got up. "Where are you going?"

"To my room, I'm kind of tired."

"But there's so many other games I wanna try."

"I thought you only had a few games, where do you keep getting them all from?" He asked as he started to walk out of the room.

"Not my fault if they wind up in the Dangai, now stay and play!" She groaned as she reached out and grabbed his leg. "Come on, it'll be fun!"

He groaned before walking back over. "Fine."

"Yay! You won't regret this, I'll go get one from the game room!" She said with a grin.

He saw her run off before looking down at his beard with a sigh since it had felt like eternity here, which made sense due to the dangai's time flowing faster which made him feel worried and concerned about how much time had past back home. For all he knew a thousand years to a single hour could have passed, it was driving him crazy trying to figure out how long he had been here. Every time he'd asked Kototsu she'd just shrugged and asked to play a game.

He touched the beard and could only imagine what his family must have been since for all he knew, they were dead. "Damn it, this isn't fair, after everything I've done I don't even know if they're alive, this is torture! I need to leave, I don't care if I learn they're dead, I need to know what's happened!"

"I'm back!" She called happily with another board game in her hands. "This ones called Life, I wonder what it's about?"

"Kototsu, I'm sorry, but I can't stay here anymore."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Are you dying?!" She asked as her eyes widened in horror.

"In a way. Look at me, I've aged for who knows how long, and you won't give me the answer on just how long I've been here."

"So? Is it that bad? Time is weird here, plus why do you need to know, it's not like you're ever going to leave."

He groaned and facepalmed. "Because I need to know what's going on!"

"Well, you got sucked up by me and became mine, we're currently living together for all eternity….and we're about to play Life." She said as she sat down and opened the box.

"I meant for my home!" He snapped before standing up. "And I'm gon-" he was cut off when they suddenly felt the place around them shake out of nowhere. "What is going on now?!" he shouted as he looked around in confusion.

"I don't know!" She spoke before seeing a sudden hole tear open in the wall where Ichigo saw Rukia pop her head in with surprise on her face.

"Ichigo? Have you been in here the whole time?"

"R-Rukia? Is that you?" He asked in surprise. "W-What is going on, h-how are you here?"

"Who are you, how did you get in here, I didn't suck you up!"

"No, but I managed to open a portal up when I found out Kon was using Ichigo's body and went in search for him. I headed off to check Soul Society, but the portal opened in...wherever this is." She turned to Ichigo. "Wow, you've aged a lot in here."

"Wait...how much time has passed since I disappeared, is Yuzu and Karin ok?!" he asked quickly.

"Well if we're counting how long you left after breaking from your study session with your friends, I'd have to guess….about half an hour."

"...a half hour? I've been here for just half an hour?!" He asked in shock.

"Well in human world time, yes, in here though, I'm not sure, but you've certainly grown out a beard your father would be proud of." She turned to Kototsu. "Now tell me, just who are you?"

"I am the Kototsu, well, I'm part of me, we're currently inside me at the moment...are you going to try to take my Ichigo away?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Wait...your Ichigo?"

"Yes, my Ichigo! I sucked him up so he's mine, by the rules set when I was first created he belongs to me! I won't let you take him from me, I will not be alone again!"

"Um….so you two have bonded this whole time inside….yourself?"

"Yes/No!" They said at the same time, Kototsu with a big grin and Ichigo with a blush.

"I was talking about just talking." She deadpanned. "What else did you think I meant?"

"Nothing!" Ichigo said as he covered Kotetsu's mouth. "Well, this was fun but we better go Rukia, bye Kototsu."

"No!" She spoke before tackling him onto the floor making Rukia blink. "You're mine!"

"No, I'm not! You can't just own me!"

"Well I do, everything I suck up becomes mine!"

Ichigo tried to pry her off him while crawling towards Rukia. "Little help here!"

"Um...this is kind of out of my league Ichigo, we're told never to let the Kototsu touch us in the soul reaper academy...I don't know if that still applies here or not." She said sheepishly.

"Just pull me through the hole!"

"No! I won't let him go, I will not be alone again for all eternity!" She shouted as she tried to wrap her legs around him. "Just give in Ichigo, please!"

"Uh...maybe I have a solution." Spoke Rukia.

"Is it letting me keep my Ichigo?"

"Something more like in the middle ground."

"How is there a middle ground, it's either he stays here or he leaves me all alone forever and ever and ever, just soul crushing loneliness!"

"Well technically if he can manage to enter here like he did before...which reminds me Ichigo, just HOW did you get here to begin with?"

"Well, I pulled all my energy into my hand and a hole opened into the Dangai and I jumped through, but I couldn't find the portal into Soul Society."

"Ok, then when Ichigo gets the hang of opening portals up, he can come visit you from time to time."

"But that could take forever! And what if he dies out there, I don't want to risk losing him!" She said as she tightened her grip on him.

"Trust me, saying he'll die after all he's been through would be like admitting Kon isn't a pervert."

"I don't know who that is, and I don't want to be alone! Can't….can't he just stay here with me, please?" She begged as she looked at him with big eyes. "Please?"

'Crap, it's like when Yuzu use to use those on me when she was little.' He thought as he tried not to look her in her eyes. "I-I can't stay, I have to get back to my sisters."

"Bring them here then!"

"I can't just take them away from their lives!"

"Why not? I don't want you to leave ever but you want to leave because you want to be with your sisters, so if they come here you won't want to leave me ever again!"

'Is this really the Kototsu?' Sweatdropped Rukia.

"Please don't leave me, I can't leave the Dangai or my outer body so you need to stay here!"

"Rukia a little more help here!"

"Um….I don't think Ichigo wants to stay here with you, he has a life to get back to, besides isn't it a bit cramp in here with both of you?"

"I got use to it after a few hundred years and he has to." She said as she tried to pin him to the floor. "It's not like I can exactly expand this space you know, if I could I would!"

"Like I said, Ichigo can come visit when he masters the technique."

"But who knows how long that will take! It could take years, and it'll take even longer in here!" She groaned as she tried to pull him away towards the door. "I don't want to be alone!"

"Wait, I might have an idea." Spoke Ichigo.

"What is it, I'll take anything at this point." Rukia groaned as she leaned against the wall.

"Kon was last seen in my body, right?"

"Yeah, though when I found him he was reading a lot of porn, so your wallet might be a bit empty."

He felt his eye twitch hearing that. 'Now I won't feel so guilty.'

With said mod soul he was smiling while flipping through a magazine. "I love it when Ichigo leaves me in his body!"

"Who's Kon and what does he have to do with this?" Kototsu asked in confusion.

"I'm about to give you a temporary roommate, that is unless you don't want one."

"...Go on." She said as she said as she kept her hold on him. "What do you mean by temporary room mate?"

"Someone to keep you company while I'm away and who will keep you entertained."

"Will they be as much fun as you? So far you're the best roommate ever." She said as she looked at him with a pout.

"Well, he'll be fun, and while he keeps you company I can live on earth and learn how to master the portal and visit you from time to time."

"You swear you'll visit me again and again?"

"Of course, ok? I'm sure you'll like your new roommate."

"Ok….but if I don't like him I want you back."

"Rukia, can you get us out of here?"

"Of course, all you have to do is get the Kototsu off of you and we can go."

"Wait, who's my new room mate?"

"You'll see." He said as he tried to get up. "Can you let me go?"

"...Fine, but I want to see you soon, and I want something before you go." She said with a grin as she licked her lips.

"Like what?" He asked with a shiver.

"Oh, just a kiss~." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What?!" Rukia said in shock.

He went wide eyed before she pressed their lips together while feeling her tongue go inside without hesitation. 'Damn it, she really likes french kisses!'

'I'm going to miss him, I just hope the next room mate is as nice as him...but if he isn't I'll just make sure Ichigo never leaves me again!'

(Omake)

"Ichigo you bastard!" Yelled Kon squirming in Ichigo's arm who casually floated in the air.

"Says the guy who used all my money to buy porn? You aren't getting any sympathy from me." He said as he began to focus his power into his hand.

"But it was...it was a gift to you! Not me!"

"Then why did I catch your hand in my pants when I came back?!" He shouted angrily as he began to open up a portal. 'Damn, this technique still needs some work.'

"Uh….to make sure your body was healthy!"

"Uh huh, yeah, well, I am going to take care of you in a way that will make you someone else's problem for awhile."

"Aw come on!" He groaned before seeing a portal start to open up. "Oh god, are you throwing me into Hueco Mundo?"

"Course not." He replied before throwing Kon inside where he ended up landing on a solid ground. "See you in awhile Kon!"

"Where am I?" He groaned as the portal closed.

"So you're my new temporary roommate?"

"Huh?" He said as he turned to see Kototsu staring down at him in disappointment.

"You don't look like Ichigo."

"Huh?" He stood up and looked around. "Where am I?"

"You're inside me, the Kototsu...do you know when Ichigo is coming back? I miss him." She sighed as she picked him up by his head.

"What? Wait, he's making me stay with you?"

"Yeah, at least until he can come back to me...it's been so long! I want my Ichigo back!"

'Did Ichigo meet this cute girl while he was gone? And he wants to make me stay with her? Score!'

"He even promised to send me a room mate but all he did was give me a talking stuffed animal...I wonder where I should put it?" She groaned as she looked at Kon.

"Hey I'm not just some toy, I can move and talk all on my own." He smiled.

"Really? Huh...I still wish Ichigo was here, next time I see him I'm never letting him leave me again!"

'Damn it! Even when I'm gone he manages to get too friendly with a cute girl.'

'When Ichigo comes back I'll make sure he never wants to leave again!'
