Ch.25

Before he knew what was happening he felt the door break on his back as Nnoitra sprinted outside with him in his arms. Seizing the thin arms that encircled him he began to squeeze, kick, pinch and bite in an effort to free himself; screaming the whole time in righteous defiance. He didn't have to wait long as he felt the man knocked over by what seemed to be a bull but was simply Kenpachi, he tasted sand and blood in his mouth as he unsteadily struggled to his feet, still in a state of shock. He saw Kenpachi barreling into the thin black haired man pushing him back, allowing Ichigo a reprieve.

"On yer' feet Ichi, you need ta' fight him" Kenpachi yelled over his shoulder, fending off a six armed sickle wielding Nnoitra.

"Fight him?!"

"Yes" Starrk said, smoothly appearing beside him. "Mi amigo is suffering terribly and until he dominates you or is dominated by you there will be no helping his condition, lo siento." Ichigo shook his head, so he had to win a fight? That seemed simple enough to him, he cocked his head watching intensely as Kenpachi easily held Nnoitra at bay.

"Why do I have to fight him? Kenpachi's doing a good job over there."

"He is only able to because they are already bonded, but he has also chosen you. And as such only you can free him from his instinct" Starrk looked at him seriously, his blue grey eyes sparking with intelligence. "You need to win or submit, whichever happens you must give your body."

"MY WHAT!?" Ichigo screeched. Starrk covered his sensitive ears with his hands as the resonance of Ichigo's rather womanly high pitched outrage hammered wickedly against his ear drums.

"Oh hell no" he muttered, hands raking through his orange locks "I am not lying down with that gap toothed freak!" He pointed at Nnoitra who was clawing at Kenpachi's arm.

"Then you'd better beat his ass Ichigo" Kenpachi yelled at him "and hurry it up this shit is boring and I want to do somethin' fun."

"Why don't you join in?" Ichigo asked somewhat innocently, he knew he had a better chance of winning if Kenpachi and his insanity got involved. Sure enough the big man couldn't pass up the chance; a wide grin split his face as he began to laugh like a maniac.

"Really Ichigo, can't you stay out of trouble?" A disconnected voice asked harshly, the group turned to see Kasai standing there in his lizard form, tail around Tatsuki's swollen waist.

"Kasai" he breathed, for once glad to see the hollow.

"I swear Ichi, I could feel ya getting all worked up. Just beat the asshole up and be done with it."

"I have to take his body you moron!" Ichigo yelled at his white counterpart, not amused by his nonchalant attitude. Kasai just flipped his white hair and rolled his eyes before uttering a single word.

"And?" Ichigo growled and was about to strangle the hollow when he noticed Starrk beside him. The taciturn brunette was panting, his eyes dilated, sweat dripping from his brow, hands clenched into fists and his sharp teeth bared.

"Hollow" he said under his breath, his voice hoarse with effort. "I apologize however it appears your pretty mate has affected me." He watched as Kasai's black gold eyes narrowed in annoyance.

"I appreciate your honesty espada, however, we both know who will win."

"Yes" Starrk said brokenly "I am afraid while I acknowledge your strength it is not enough to quell my instincts."

"Then" Kasai smirked "you are stronger than I thought, but that's to be expected as you are the primera."

Ichigo watched in fascinated horror as Kasai picked up Tatsuki by his tail and moved her out of harm's way, planting a kiss on her forehead. Turning back to his current problem at hand he nodded to Kenpachi who let a struggling Nnoitra go, crashing towards him in an array of limbs and sickles he heard metal ring out as he engaged the ever grinning espada.

This was simply ridiculous, all of this imprinting, fighting and fucking without anyone asking what anyone else wanted. She knew she didn't get much of a say, but wanted to stay with Kasai. There was no arguing the primera was good looking, hell he was downright sexy, his wavy brown hair, sculpted features and half hooded eyes yet she spared him no more than a lingering glance. Her eyes stayed fixed on her mate, who had changed to his rather impressive, and if she was honest dead sexy, Vasto Lorde form.

Be safe Kasai she whispered in her mind, her hands wringing with worry as she watched the fight start.

I will, just make sure you are safe, don't get involved. She heard his deep voice in her head, sitting down on the sand she watched the battles unfold. Since Tatsuki did not have an "inner world" so to speak their mating had merged a different way, which she noted; came in very handy during sex. She loved being able to speak with him through their mental connection, and in addition to that the frequently could feel each other's emotions.

Kasai threw himself against the brunette, his hair lashing violently in the wind as their energy exploded around them in a blast of blue and white. Shielding her eyes she squinted, desperate to see the two men through the waves of intense reiatsu. Starrk had called upon his resurrection and was flanked on either side by softly glowing wolves, pistols in each hand he aimed and cocked them at the pale man.

"Lo siento mi amigo" his tone apologetic. "I seem to have made a mistake; I was not after your pretty mate. It appears I have imprinted upon you." Kasai's mouth dropped open, hell hers did too as his words registered. She knew what happened if a forced mating was not completed, and she would not wish it upon anyone.

"Kasai! What does this mean?"

"It appears he has imprinted upon me instead of you. Which is good, I would not want to share you with another."

"BAKA! You think I want to share you?" She heard the soft tendrils of amusement reach her mind.

"No, but I don't think you have much of a choice unless you wish for Starrk to die."

"I know, and I would never wish that for anyone. What will you have to do?"

"Fight him to prove my worth as his mate; it could get messy since he is the primera. Once his instincts deem me worthy I will have to lay with him. I am sorry." She heard the regret in his tone clear as if he was speaking to her.

"Do not apologize; it will be one more person in our "family" right? And he is strong; he will also help protect us and our child. I do not like this but I understand this is something that cannot be controlled."

"We can hope he is agreeable to that, since I don't plan on losing I will be the dominant one in our pack it may come naturally." She sent waves of relief to him.

"Do me a favor love?" She asked, this was important.

"Yes?"

When you mate please go somewhere else and do it.

"Anything for you" he said simply, his deep laugh resonating in her mind.

She hadn't realized she had made Kasai laugh out loud but there he was, two pistols pointed at him and laughing. Starrk looked thoroughly confused and Kasai must have explained because he sputtered slightly and then he grinned crookedly locking eyes with her he nodded in deference. Her hands subconsciously went to her expanding belly, she knew the primera wanted this about as much as Kasai did but neither wanted to suffer the terrible consequences of incompletion.

"Lo siento mi amiga, I understand you are his mate by choice and instinct?" The cool smell of mint hit her nose and she realized the espada was behind her. She nodded, slightly freaked out by his proximity and how quickly he had gotten there.

"Please be assured we are only doing this because we must, I do not require your permission but I would ask that you accept this as we are helpless."

"Yes" she said softly, her hands still on her stomach. "He has explained this to me before, we are mated as he imprinted on me. Because I am human we show our bond in a different way." Starrks eyes wandered to her stomach.

"He did say you with con nino, por favor do not believe you are in any danger from me" he smiled then, and she noticed his canines were sharper and longer than his other teeth.

"I appreciate that, now go deal with yourselves" she said, lightly touching his arm. He was warm, and gentle, she felt sure that she would grow to like him. Quelling the jealousy she felt she consoled herself once again that this was not something either of them could help, and that she truly had set foot in a different world. She set her jaw, she would do whatever it took to survive in this new reality.

On Ichigo's top ten list of shit he never wanted to do fucking Nnoitra was on the top three. Hell, he had not even had time to figure out if he was truly gay or not, he had enjoyed both men and women; he figured sex was sex. Then there was sex with Nnoitra, which was absolutely NOT happening, not to mention Nnoitra looked about as thrilled with the idea as he was.

"Come on Ichi" Kenpachi hollered, brandishing his sword. "Fucker's gonna come at us hard so we need to strike fast."

Ichigo readied his stance, he was grateful to Kenpachi that he had backup in this fight even if it was the battle crazed captain. Nnoitra seemed to understand why his current mate was helping his future one, even if it was a bit unfair. He dug his feet into the sand and felt the warmth on his bare toes; his sweaty palms grasped Zangetsu as Nnoitra's blade rang out against his. He looked up into the leering face of the 5th espada and was disturbed by the ferocity of his gaze. It was obvious his mind was not his own, and in dealing with someone who was already batshit crazy this was not a good development.

"Oy Kenpachi, you gonna stand there and watch or you gonna get in on this?!" he yelled to the giant who simply grinned. As Kenpachi jumped in between the two Ichigo felt a wave of relief over take him, but his relief was to be short lived.

Starrk had easily submitted to Kasai after only putting up a halfhearted fight. Truth to be told he knew he would lose and he wanted it over and done with so he could catch a nap, the second his instincts were satisfied he laid down for the impressive hollow. His looks were not displeasing and in fact the albino was quite easy on the eyes in addition to being powerful was everything the primera could ask for in a mate. He had expected to be taken forcefully and hard but he found Kasai was as gentle as he was fearsome, and while he didn't have to he took care of Starrks pleasure too. This was quite unusual for hollows and Starrk bet his pregnant mate had something to with the gentle side of this fierce man,something the brunette was grateful for. It was quick, their instincts driving both men to completion as Kasai prepared and quickly entered him, howling his dominance as he thrust deep inside the brunette. He had taken Starrk far out into the desert, away from the eyes of his mate, to complete the process. As Kasai howled above him, his cock driving deep into Starrk, hitting his prostate the brunette whined in need, he felt a hand grasp his own weeping member and begin to pump viciously. As Kasai snapped his hips harder and harder Starrk began to squirm as he felt the familiar burn in his belly. Throwing his head back and screaming in completion his thick pearly fluid littered the sands; he stiffened and stayed upright while Kasai continued chasing his pleasure. With a flare of his reiatsu and several more deep thrusts he came deep inside Starrk, a low growl emanating from his throat as he bit the brunette's bare shoulder. He then drew Starrk to him in a warm embrace and kissed the side of his sculpted jaw as he stroked his back. Starrk settled into the pale arms happily, his chest feeling tight as they both rested for a few moments.

Now that the matter of who was dominant was decided, the hierarchy was obvious. Starrk knew he would be helping Kasai take care of Tatsuki and her baby as in this threesome he was the omega, something the espada was not used to yet was surprisingly fine with. He was happy to be mated to such a powerful being; after all it could be worse. It could be Kenpachi, someone he would rather die than lay with. Sonido'ing back they watched the fight between Ichigo and Nnoitra unfold, Kasai standing behind Tatsuki, arms around her protectively and Starrk at her side. She raised an eyebrow questioningly at Kasai who simply nodded, and then she turned to Starrk.

"Welcome to our fucked up little family" she stated simply, amusement sparking in her eyes.

"Do you feel that?" Renji asked Ulquiorra, the black haired man cocked his head and nodded.

"That reiatsu, it was Starrks" his jade eyes widened in realization.

"And it felt like Ichigo's too" Renji added, a smile breaking out on his face. "Ulquiorra we found them!" He got up from his seated position and began to dance around like a madman at the news. Ulquiorra couldn't help it; he began to smile at the red head's antics. To be honest he had grown fond of the rather unconventional brute, who while still being trash also held an amusement factor for those around him.

"Shall we go then?" He said, blinking his big eyes at the still dancing shinigami.

"Hell yea we should go! Let's get pinky and get over there!" They quickly gathered their things, and slinging Szayel who was only slightly conscious, onto his back Renji jumped into a flashstep. He was followed quickly by Ulquiorra as they headed toward their friends respective reiatsu. Not realizing the clusterfuck they were about to entangle themselves into.

"Oh goddamnit Bya, get on your side of the bed" Grimmjow mumbled as he slowly came to. He glanced over to see Byakuya lightly stirring in his sleep; his raven hair billowing out across his face, obstructing the view. Grimmjow smiled as he brushed it out of his mate's face, placing a soft kiss on the shell of Byakuya's ear he pressed his body against the smaller mans.

"Go away Grimm" he said sleepily "I don't want it right now." A low, throaty chuckle escaped from the blue haired man's mouth and he rolled his mate over. Straddling him he felt the Kuchiki's hardness and pressed his hips against it.

"You sure-"

His sentence was interrupted as both men felt a powerful burst of reiatsu shake their bodies. Now wide awake and all thoughts of fornicating quickly forgotten they bolted out of bed and to the door of the house. Tatsuki and Kasai stood to one side, the hollows body in front of hers as if protecting her; and she was pressed against his back, eyes wide. Kenpachi laughing and grinning like a maniac stood by Nnoitra whose jaw was slack and one violet eye the size of a dinner plate. In between everyone stood Ichigo and Starrk, Ichigo in his bankai and Starrk in his resurrection. Both looked absolutely miserable and completely vicious.

"What in the three worlds?" Byakuya murmured, taking in the sight as Grimmjow's arm tightened around him protectively.
