I am still continuing this story, even though I uploaded another one on my page. When I have so much in my head I have to type it out or it will bother the shit out of me, until I do.
So this chapter has a bit of others I haven't touched up on and then we're back to everyone together in big happily dysfunctional family. Also, I couldn't resist. I know Grimmjow a few chapters was quieted by the handsome Isshin Kurosaki but this untamed Cat can't be shut up forever, where's the fun in that =P. I introduced Ikumi and I received mixed feelings about her, I wanted to integrate her character with the others to cause a bit of trouble and hilarity. I hope you enjoy the chapter, and PLEASE send me your juicy reviews, it gives me life, literally it does.
"So where's this supposed cave, Rangiku?" Shuhei asked as he followed the blonde's direction with his younger sister and her boyfriend in tow.
"Just behind that brush," she clarified, pointing in the direction of tall bushes. Sure enough, as they passed the tall foliage, a cave entrance appeared with an old wooden sign.
"Okay, Awesome!" Shuhei said, turning on his light to glance inside handing everyone a flashlight. When he tried giving Rangiku a flashlight, shaking her head as she denied the portable light.
"Oh, I'm not going in there," she frightfully said.
"Okay, then you can stay out here all alone, by yourself," he grinned at her as she glared at him.
"Fine but I swear Shuhei if something touches me I'm going to hurt you," she angrily grabbed the flashlight.
"I don't think you have to worry about the creatures in the dark," he whispered.
"Eww gross! Can you two please stop, I feel my breakfast rising up in my throat," Tatsuki groaned, making hurling sound effects.
"Calm down, Tatsuki! You're so damn dramatic," her brother said kissing his girlfriend. He began to walk into the cave with Rangiku pressed up against his back, the action causing a groan feeling her breasts as her body tensed with fear.
"Just keep your light ahead and refrain from pointing it up, unless you want to aggravate the bats," Ulquiorra explained, with Tatsuki beside him who seemed to be enjoying herself.
"Yeah, I don't need a swarm of fuckers flying around me," Shuhei said looking at the cave floors, making sure the steps were sturdy enough to walk on. "These are man-made steps carved heading down, watch your step," he said helping Rangiku walk down.
They reached a pool of water that gave off a glow from the cave's natural light that shined from a large hole in the ceiling. It was majestic in a way, the reflection of the blue-green waters created a glowing abyss.
The party decided to shut off their flashlights finding the light source made it easier to see where they were going.
Screech! Screech!
"EEP!" Rangiku squealed, grabbing a hold of her boyfriend's arm.
"It's just fucking bats, they're actually scared of you," he told her, trying to prevent her from clawing the shit out of him.
"Shuhei is correct in his analysis, it's a Japanese pipistrelle, a species of the vesper bat. It won't bother us, it's diet mainly consists of bugs like beetles, flies, and moths," the quiet man stated, walking closer to the mammals, giving enough distance to not cause them alarm.
Tatsuki stood right beside him, glancing up at the hundreds of bats that hung from the ceiling
"Koumori (Japanese term for bat)! The Japanese, having been influenced by Chinese culture viewed the bat as a good luck symbol," he spoke, continuing to stare at the bat's movements.
"Its probably why you see them on a shit load of pottery and kimonos in Japanese ancient art," Tatsuki joked as her boyfriend affirmed her answer with a nod.
"Is it me or is he talking a lot?" Rangiku whispered, amazed at the green-eyed boy who seemed to open up more.
"He's usually a talkative little shit when something peeks his interest," Shuhei chuckled, watching his sister studying the nocturnal creatures. "Thanks by the way," he kissed Rangiku who seemed confused.
"What for?" she asked cutely, raising her brow.
"You knew he liked bats from what I told you about our time together at the beach," he looked at his girlfriend who just shrugged.
"Just thought it was something we can all do," she nervously laughed.
"Nah, you've always been like that Rangiku. You're always thinking about others and helping them out. You're a good person," he said giving her a hug and a light kiss on the neck.
"You think too highly of me, Shuhei Hisagi. It was just something to do to past the time with the others, nothing more," she let go of him, heading to the cave's pool as she gracefully sat at the edge, removing her shoes to place her feet in.
"Mmmm, you guys should try this, the water feels so good," she shouted causing a slight echo throughout the cave.
Ulquiorra and Tatsuki turned around, distracted from their observations on the bats to join the busty blonde.
Shuhei shook his head as he did the same as his girlfriend and joined the others as well. He knew she was trying to change the subject, not wanting people to find out her secret of being a kind and selfless girl. Deep down all her close friends figured her out, they just never said anything knowing she'd flat out deny it.
"You're right, it does feel nice. Lukewarm. Do you think anything is in there?" the spiky-haired girl asked, trying to look towards the bottom of the waters, some areas were difficult to see hidden in shadows.
Plop! A loud item caused a great splash.
"Ahh, Fuck!" Tatsuki jumped, along with Rangiku who screamed, grabbing her legs close to her.
Ulquiorra calm as always, still having his feet in along with Shuhei. Only the spiky-haired brother was holding his stomach laughing, for being the culprit of throwing a rock in the depths of the pool, causing the splash.
"You scared the shit out of me," his girlfriend complained as she began to hit his shoulders repeatedly.
"Fuck you, you asshole," his sister furiously shouted, sitting back down, embarrassed of freaking out in front of the others.
"Hey! You can't talk to me like that, show your brother a little respect," he grinned, receiving a glare from his sister.
"I'll show you respect once you stop acting like an immature dick," she angrily fumed, getting more riled up with his smug grin plastered on his face.
"You need to learn to show no fear. Especially if you want to become a fearless fighter," he mocked, swaying his hands around, finally stopping to create a karate pose.
"Suck a dick you prick," she barked.
"Oi! You kiss our mother with that fucking mouth," he shot back.
"Yep! On the same cheek, you kiss her on as well, you damn hypocrite."
"Alright! Enough children," Rangiku giggled as Tatsuki looked away biting her lip. "Do all siblings fight like this?" Rangiku criticized, looking at everyone than glancing over to the quiet green-eyed boy for confirmation.
He seemed to sense her stare as he looked at her, figuring she wanted an answer from him, " We have our disagreements but us yelling back and forth is not something done at our house. I mean, I haven't really had siblings growing up, so I highly doubt Sora and Orihime were like that before I came along," he explained receiving a few chuckles and giggles from the others.
"Please, it's almost sickeningly adorable how sweet they are to each other," Rangiku cooed.
"Yeah it's like watching an episode of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood," Shuhei joked, causing his sister and girlfriend to laugh hysterically. The only one who didn't seem to make so much as a grin was Ulquiorra as he glanced in concentration at the bottom of the pool's depths. Tatsuki immediately stopped her laughing as she nudged him, "Hey," she asked concerned. "What's up?"
He shrugged as he looked at her making a forced grin, "It's not that I don't understand the joke or find it untrue," he looked at the others and then back to his girlfriend, "It's nothing."
Tatsuki furrowed her brows not liking how he was lying and avoided sharing. "Nothing? Seriously?" her voice sounding a bit unnerved. She watched her boyfriend glare at her as he began to lift himself up and begin to put his shoes back on. "Where do you think you're -" Tatsuki began to yell when she felt Rangiku place her hand on her shoulder. She turned to find the busty blonde smiling with a finger placed onto her lip to silence her.
Tatsuki held her tongue, watching her boyfriend walk further into the cave to once again look at the creatures he'd come to love. Suddenly, she heard her brother exit the pool to put his shoes on when he rose up, he kissed Rangiku on the lips and a kiss on his sister's head.
"I'll be right back," he said, walking slowly to the silent green-eyed man.
Ulquiorra sensing the older man's presence glanced at him from the side, just waiting patiently, sensing he wanted to talk.
"Tatsuki was always an impatient kid... whenever she saw someone who was sad or unhappy she would try to kick them out of their funk. Even if they were pissed at her, she didn't care, she wanted to be the band-aid to a person's wound. She sensed that when she first met Orihime, she told me how these little shits at school used to treat her and how she protected her. Even got Orihime to open up when others thought it was impossible. That's Tatsuki for you, headstrong, but most of all her heart refuses to see someone else hurt or depressed. She means well, even when she pushes a bit too hard," he explained to the younger man as he patted his back and headed back to the girls. Shuhei began to remove his shoes once again to sit by his lovely girlfriend as he squeezed her tightly.
"Is he okay?" Tatsuki asked, her whole focus on Ulquiorra as she asked the question.
"Just give him time, Tatsuki. Shit, don't they teach you patience at the dojo or being calm or some shit?" he told her as she turned to glare in his direction.
"It's perfect unity of the body through balancing strength, speed, focus, and control," she reiterated angrily.
"Well, you still need to work on control especially with the uncontrolled rage you have bottled up," he laughed at his sister's pissed off expression.
"Your brother's right, Tatsuki! Just give it time, he'll come to you when he's ready. Has he ever willingly spoke with you whenever you've had these ..." Rangiku said with her charming smile before Shuhei finished her sentence.
"hissy fits," he eyed his sister, who glared at him but seemed to listen when she shook her head.
"No! He's usually closed off when I'm yelling at him but then when we're separated or I've calmed down he's usually there to talk," she sighed, eyeing the couple who both wore smug grins as she rolled her eyes. She felt her boyfriend's presence come near as he began to remove his shoes once more to join them.
No one spoke, everyone seemed to patiently wait for something to happen. the squeaking of the bats and the occasional drips of water that magnified throughout the cave was the only sound amongst their silence.
"I don't mean to upset you with my lack of communication by staying silent," Ulquiorra said finally breaking the silence, raising his hand up to stop his girlfriend from talking when he heard her trying to speak, "Wait! Please let me express what I need to say."
Holding her arms around herself, Tatsuki bit her lip as she nodded along with the others.
"It wasn't the joke that upset me, it was what the joke was trying to convey about my siblings. From what I remember from Mr. Roger's neighborhood, it taught children how to express themselves, how to be kind, to treat a child with honesty cause they are a person too. My brother and sister personified that in their home, taught me those things when I felt it was pointless. There was nothing wrong with the joke, I'm glad that coming from the hell we grew up in, they were both able to pick themselves up and be viewed as a popular kids show," he said giving a rare smile that touched everyone who listened to him.
"Do you always view things with a microscope?" Shuhei stated as he watched the green-eyed boy look at him a bit puzzled before he continued," I was just making a dumbass joke and you turned it into something philosophical." He hit the waters that sprinkled a little at the silent Inoue sibling, "I might have you write my damn reports." Shuhei joked, realizing as he got to know his sister's boyfriend more, already aware of his intelligence he also displayed how much heart was hidden deep within him. It was only due to circumstances that turned him into the quiet and reserved person that he was. He couldn't blame him, years as a detective, seeing the shit he saw on the force, still haunted him.
"It was so beautiful, I think I might cry," Rangiku blurted out as she wiped a few tears that fell off her face. "You just mention Sora and Orihime being able to pick themselves up, but I would say the same for you. You're such a sweet boy and handsome too. No wonder Tatsuki couldn't help being attracted to you," she teased, causing the spiky-haired girl to roll her eyes and blush.
"I thought it was because I was such a charming social butterfly and an extroverted person," he proclaimed in his monotone voice, provoking the others to laugh, his own features producing a slight grin. Tatsuki pushed him away playfully as she chuckled at him trying to be funny, she found it endearing.
"Haha, funny guy," Tatsuki leaned in giving her boyfriend a kiss on the lips as she cupped his chin staring into his green eyes. "You sure it didn't have anything to do with you having a big ego," she said suggestively as he keenly eyed her.
"And... thank you for ruining a perfect moment, Tatsuki," Shuhei criticized, receiving a questioning look from his sister.
"I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about dear brother," she jested, looking in the direction of her boyfriend the whole time she spoke, giving him a teasing smile.
Growl*
The sound of Rangiku's stomach echoed for all to hear, distracting the young couple from their gazes.
"I'm sorry, my stomach is a little impatient," the beautiful blonde sheepishly held her stomach as she giggled.
"I thought Orihime and Nel were bad," Tatsuki laughed, leading the embarrassed blonde to jut out her bottom lip in a small pout, "I've always wondered where the food went, but seeing how it just goes straight to your hips and breasts, no wonder you guys are always eating," she made a jab at the blonde's curves.
"You know, I should be offended but I can't help but feel that was a compliment," Rangiku approved, grabbing the girl to squeeze between her abundant breasts.
"Okay, okay, Alright!" she squirmed away from the older woman's hold, blushing when she received a kiss from the blonde.
"Should we start heading back?" Ulquiorra inquired, glancing at the group who remained silent. Rangiku had the impression that the green-eyed boy still wanted to remain within the cave's dwellings.
"We all don't have to go, Shuhei and I will head out, you guys can stay here a little longer," she winked at the young couple as she started to put on her shoes.
"Guess I'll see you guys at dinner?" Shuhei asked, getting ready to accompany his girlfriend back to the castle. Rangiku held her boyfriend's arm, carefully making her way up the crafted steps, heading towards the exit.
Tatsuki scooted closer to Ulquiorra, holding his hand as she laid her head onto his shoulder. Rubbing his thumb against her small hands as she sighed.
"I've always felt that actions spoke louder than words. Growing up in a foster care system you grew up surrounded by people who would say one thing and with no remorse do something else. Lies were common in my life, you can always see the truth through a person's eyes. My mother's mouth told me she loved me but her eyes told something entirely different. I don't fault her, she hated me because I came from a man who she loved and he just cast her aside, causing her to despise me. Orihime and Sora showed the different side of the coin, what it means to have someone's honest affection," he recounted, giving her hand a light squeeze.
"I know I've shown you how much I care about you through my actions but you deserve more. You deserve to feel and hear what's in my heart," he slowly lifted her chin to give her a kiss. Both squeezing their eyes shut, using tongues to aggressively kiss each other as she pulled him closer, threading her fingers into his dark hair. When they came up for air was when she heard him whisper 'I love you.' Shocked, she opened her eyes to give him her full attention, staring at his gentle green eyes that darkened in the shadows of the caves.
"I love you," he said it again much louder this time, making sure she heard it. He saw her slowly smile, her eyes welling up with tears as she spoke.
"I love you too! That means so much coming from you, your actions spoke volumes to me. I know its hard for you to express your feelings and I didn't expect you to say it but thank you so much for saying those words," she gave him a quick peck on the mouth as she laid her head on his chest. They sat there together, looking up at the behaviors of the bats as he lightly rubbed her back. Feeling herself slip into contentment, wrapped in the arms of the person who made her happy. Even if he wasn't great in first impressions, all that mattered was what she thought of him, that she loved him and he felt the same.
Rukia lazily brushed her fingers against the muscular build of the handsome red-head as she watched the day come to a close.
"We've been here most of the day, maybe we should start heading downstairs," she asked her fiancee who rubbed her long raven-haired locks with his eyes tightly closed.
"We did spend last night and early morning at the beach," he grinned, eyes remaining closed as he confessed. She still remembered their sexual escapade as they explored each other in that small bungalow under the night sky and dawn's light. She giggled as she reminisced as her fiancee couldn't control himself, having her repeatedly again and again.
"Maybe it was a good thing that my brother had us separated for a while and kept you on a leash," she confessed, watching her fiancee finally open his eyes to glare at her. "Only because since you've been deprived, with us only having that little quickie in the limo that didn't satisfy that hunger of yours, especially having the need to screw me over and over again."
Renji growled, his glare staring intently at her as he moved to lay on top, her back against the bed. "You're playing with fire, Rukia," he murmured, sinking his teeth into her neck and licking the wound. She cried out feeling the bite that was sure to leave a mark, affecting her as her body became aroused.
"Maybe I want to get burned," she challenged, feeling him push his hard-on against her.
"I thought you wanted to start heading downstairs?" he whispered into her neck, thrusting in between her legs. The thin sheets between them doing nothing to provide a barrier, he could still feel how wet she was through the linen.
"Well, the only person who's seen us alive since yesterday was Jinta when you let him borrow the yacht," she moaned, thrusting her hips into him causing him to groan."Plus, we have guests."
Renji seemed to ignore her as he pulled the sheets that were preventing him from entering into her. Once the barrier was taken away he wasted no time shoving into her.
"Oh, Renji...mmmm," she cried out, opening her legs wider as he pushed into her deeper.
"They wouldn't mind if we stayed here until we were married," he said ferociously kissing her, hungrily wanting nothing else but her taste.
"MMM.. tempting," she breathlessly said, feeling his thrust grow harder and faster. "But ... we... can't," she whimpered as he bit her neck once more, causing her to scream and climax. Finding her mouth once more, he swallowed her screams as he continued to pound into her wet core, only to release inside her.
"Fuck," he whispered onto her lips, feeling her ragged breathing and hearing her soft whimpers. His head descended to her breasts to suckle, causing her to arch her back, crying out.
"Renji, we need to get ready," she giggled, feeling he was up for more. He growled in annoyance as he bit her breasts eliciting a loud squeak, grinning he let her go. She rose up giving him a kiss as she left to take a shower. Rubbing his head to look at the time, seven pm, he laughed they had been holed up in their room most of the day. Deciding to get ready as well, he entered the bathroom, finding his petite fiancee already under the showerhead. Standing behind her, appreciating her creamy toned body, she turned around to face him as she rubbed her hair with shampoo. Grinning, she watched him glance down appreciating the new angle, staring intently at her perky breasts and her tight clit. He growled seeing his handiwork of his bites all over her neck and breasts, finding some hidden between her thighs.
She noticed his lustful stares as he licked his lips, he moved closer to her as she eyed his actions. "Renji? I know that look and no, we need to get ready," she grinned, appreciating his feral grins and covetous stares.
"Don't worry, I just see that I missed a spot," he whispered into her ear as she felt her pussy begin to moisten. She felt him turn her around as he bent down to hungrily sink his teeth on her rear, opening her ass cheeks to lick and prod his tongue into every hole she was born with.
"Renji! Oh, Fuck!" she cried out, trying to hold onto the walls of the showers.
"Is that anyway for a lady of nobility to talk? What would your brother say?" he jested, eating her most delectable parts.
"What Nii-sama ... doesn't know... won't hurt him," she strained to say as he swirled his tongue causing her legs to weaken. Holding her waist, he opened her wider pushing his tongue further into her, as he grinned.
"That's my girl, there's no proper behavior when it comes to fucking," he growled, pushing his fingers into her asshole as his tongue pushed further into her. He spent the remainder of the time making sure she was thoroughly cleaned with his tongue before they actually used soap, after making her scream his name of course.
Byakuya sat patiently around the table as the guests began to file in one by one at the table. Only a few stragglers still had not arrived, specifically the guests of honor, his sister and his soon to be brother-in-law. Without hesitating, he called to his employees to set the food as they waited for the others. Nel entered along with Tatsuki and Ulquiorra, who finally arrived to take their empty seats.
Everyone seemed to not notice the missing couple when Nel walked in with a tight fitted shirt with the words S.L.U.T. with small letters that were written underneath. Grimmjow noticing the stares turned to see his smiling girlfriend as he glanced at her shirt and couldn't decide if he was pissed or turned on.
"Like it?" she asked him, giggling when he turned to get some food.
"Can I see, I wasn't able to see what the smaller words said," Rangiku looked at her chest as she found it amusing.
"Sweet, Little, Unforgettable, Thing! I like it, it's very cute, no doubt a conversation starter," she mused, Nel nodding her head in agreement.
"I thought it was hilarious, I usually wear this out to show my adoring fans that I don't care about their nasty rumors," she smiled triumphantly.
"What she means by adoring fans, she means the jealous girls and men who were cruelly denied Nel's love," Tatsuki chuckled, receiving a smile from the green-haired beauty.
"Oh, shut up Tatsuki," she moved her hair to the side as she began to eat.
"What? I was just joking, you know I even encouraged you to tell those assholes to fuck off," she quipped."But you love the attention."
"I can't help it, you can see it annoys the shit out of them when their words don't bother me," she batted her eyes.
"Aww! Nel-chan you never mentioned your classmates being so mean," Shunsui said with a concerned expression as he stared at his daughter.
"Rumors, Daddy! Nothing to concern yourself with," she laughed, brushing it off like if it was nothing.
"Like the rumors in the newspapers?" he asked.
"Oh, much worse," she ate her food, as she felt her boyfriend's hand brush against her thigh."Nothing I can't handle," she smiled, as his fingers brushed her inner thigh.
"Want me to scare the shit out of them?" he asked her, only to receive an endearing smile.
"You're only going to make it worse, Grimmy!" she stated as he gave her a questioning look.
"Worse?" he asked as his fingers suddenly stopped.
"Classmates know about the relationship she has with you, Grimmjow," Tatsuki shared, causing his blue eyes to glance over at the spiky-haired girl.
"What do they say?" he asked, feeling his girlfriend pull his arm to get his attention.
"Who cares," she smiled, giving him a light peck."This happens all the time and I learned to deal with my classmates and the media. Uncle, always handles the media making sure things don't get out of control. Right, Uncle Take?" she smiled towards the white-haired man, who seemed to avoid her stares. Disheartened, she looked to him concerned as he tried to smile.
"What's wrong, Uncle?" she asked, not liking how has tried to put on a fake facade at the others, leading her father to glance at his old friend.
"What's plaguing you, Jushiro!" he asked, not fully understanding his friend's apprehension.
"I rather not, you shouldn't be concerned... there's another time for such things. Let's just wait till.." he began to say only to be interrupted by his goddaughter.
"What is it?" Nel said a little too loud, not realizing how loud she was before she apologized, "Sorry, What's going on?"
He pulled out his phone to skim through his logs as he reluctantly handed her one of the slanderous statements against her. She eyed him as she grabbed the phone and began to read.
"Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, having a record of being deemed a talented womanizer is rumored to be linked with Princess Nel Odelschwanck, who will inherit a legacy of dojos. As if that wasn't enough, the Odelschwank dojo is in the process of combining with longtime rival Genrai Jaegerjaquez. It was long known for a while, that grandfather had cut ties with his grandson Grimmjow. It has been confirmed by sources, she also is set to hold a good portion in her boyfriend's stock in Pantera Industries, a multi-billion dollar company. This manipulative princess, known as the sweet, beautiful face of mixed martial arts, seems to have a few skeletons in her closet.
Classmate and ex-boyfriend, Tesla Lindocruz, mentions that 'she was not only flirtatious but very demanding whenever they were intimate,'" Nel began to laugh, as she gripped the phone before she continued, "Classmates close to her, once mutual friends, Loly Aivittne and Menoly Mallia, say that they became distant. The cause of their broken relationship was the rumors of her fraternizing with teachers to get good grades revealed to be true, stating, 'She does just about anything to get an A,'" she paused for a moment to swallow the bile that was rising in her throat.
"Mutual Friends?" she shook her head in disgust.
"Nel-chan, maybe you should stop reading this," Jushiro began to say, regretting his actions by letting her have his phone.
"No! I want to continue reading more of the bullshit and lies they have to say," she smiled uneasily, as she held the phone with both hands, continuing to read once more.
"Nnoitra Gilga, a former teacher at Karkura University, was let go from allegations he believed to be false but left in any event with his dignity still intact. He states, 'I was just a victim, a teacher who cared about his students, only wanting Ms. Uderschvank to seek help, I saw teachers who took advantage of this poor girls flauntingly using her body to change her grades. I am disgusted with the school handling of the situation, keeping this quiet because they were paid to do so. I hope Ms. Uderschvank learns that she is a very smart and beautiful girl that doesn't need shame herself in using her body, I just hope she seeks help before its too late.' Does the bachelor Grimmjow know what he's got his claws into? Maybe they are both right for each other, living a life of privilege and using others to satisfy their needs. Written by Cirucci Saderwicci." the green-haired beauty was silent for a moment as she couldn't contain her laughter.
"They really are creative aren't they," she laughed once more before she shrugged her shoulders and handed Jushiro the phone.
"What a fucking bitch," Grimmjow sneered, pushing his plate, losing his appetite.
"Maybe sleeping with someone who works for the press, wasn't the brightest idea," Ichigo said, causing the blue-haired man to glare at him.
"Would you shut the fuck up, don't act like your a fucking saint," Grimmjow spouted.
"Well in any event, even if this Ms. Saderwicci has some personal vendetta with you Grimmjow, others are also involved that we need to speak with. I was speaking to Mr. Kuchiki on the best course of action with dealing with the paper and to make sure that this doesn't get out of hand," he placed the phone into his jacket, smiling at his god-daughter.
"Obviously Menoly and Loly didn't learn their lesson when we scared the shit out of them for bothering Orihime," Tatsuki added, obviously quite upset with her friend's harsh comments against her.
Suddenly Nel dropped her utensils with a clang as she pushed her chair aggressively out of the way, "I just need to be excused to the little girl's room," she said matter of factly.
"Nel-chan?" Shunsui said with worry in his tone, trying to rise up only for Grimmjow to hold out his hand to prevent the pink kimono wearing man from getting up.
"I'll go," he specified, whipping his mouth and leaving his napkin on the table as he followed his girlfriend.
Once he slammed the dining hall doors open, he found her walking up the stairs completely walking past the restrooms.
"Oi, you forgot where the restrooms are?" he yelled out, as she turned towards him as she feigned ignorance.
"Oh, I must have completely flaked," she giggled, making her way to the girl's bathroom in a brisk stride.
Nel entered the bathroom, heading towards the sink to wash her face as she patted it dry. She glared at herself until she saw her boyfriend leaning against a bathroom stall door with his arms crossed staring intently at her.
"Do you mind, you're entering a restricted area," she said, crossing her arms annoyed with him not giving her a moment to herself.
"You act like that has stopped me before," he told her snickering as he made his way to stand in front of her.
"I'm sure," she rubbed the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes, "Look, I need a moment to myself."
He looked at her, examining her for a while as she waited for him to leave.
"So you want me to go away and pretend like this is nothing? Circucci is just a bitter bitch," he stared at her, leaning closer.
"I don't give a shit about some bitch who can't get over your dick, Jushiro will deal with the newspaper," she said, noticing he was not going to leave her alone, she decided to leave instead. She didn't get far, his arm blocked her path as she tried to push him off, "Would you please move."
"No! Who is Nnorita and while your sharing you can tell me about this fucker, Tesla," he sneered as his features displayed that he was beyond pissed.
She sighed making herself comfortable as she sat on the sink's countertop and narrowed her eyes at him.
"Tesla was this guy I used to date, he was blonde and handsome, all the girls wanted him. We were going out for like three months when he invited me to his house since his parents were out. I was into it, he fondled me as he kissed me. He totally turned me off when he tried to use his phone to take a video of my breasts and proceeded to finger me. I told him to stop and that I wanted him to delete it. He showed me he did, he tried taking things a bit further when I told him no. He got upset and I told him he was an asshole and I broke things off with him. So at class, he started to show his friends his phone, finding their snickering suspicious was when I saw them watching a video of me. The piece of shit had made a copy when I wasn't aware and showed be the deleted copy. Of course, I made a big deal in class getting the teachers attention, Nnoitra Gilga. He wanted to see both of us after school and confiscated the phone saying, 'he was going to bring this to the head master's attention.' After school, he mentioned that Tesla was not with us because he was expelled. I asked why I needed to be there, he brought up the rumors about receiving extra credit from other teachers by doing sexual favors. He, of course, wanted to know if I'd be interested. Fucking asshole and when I let him know just that, he tried to use the phone to con me into screwing him. I answered him by breaking his nose and leaving to tell my father and uncle. Let's just say that they were able to obtain the phone and spoke with the school, he was charged for a few months, revoking his license to ever teach again. There... that's who they are, can I go now?" her voice sounding irritated as she avoided his stare.
"So what were you planning on doing Nel? Huh? Avoid everyone, because these dickless mother fuckers wanted to spew bullshit about you. Fuck them! Don't let them upset you. In fact, make them regret the day they fucked with Neliel Odelschwanck," he said cupping her chin to give a feral grin, staring intently at her beautiful eyes.
" I don't give a fuck about them... I cared about what you thought," she yelled, her voice sounding so low. "I'm not sure why I never mentioned it, I guess I didn't want you to know about my naivete or stupid choices I made in the past," she hung her head low but was quickly lifted by his finger as she stared at his Cheshire cat grin and blue eyes.
"It's in the past, whatever was done whatever was said, I already told you how I feel about you, nothing is going to change that," he said kissing her lips and placing his hands to squeeze her hips. "Now get your ass back to where everyone is at," he told her, giving her another kiss as he patted her bottom.
When she hopped off the countertop she looked at him, " Aren't you coming?"
"Yeah, I'll be there, just need to make a few calls," he said taking his phone out of his pocket. Nel nodded, making her way out the bathroom to return to the dining hall.
"My beautiful baby girl, Are you okay?" her father rose walking towards her to give her a hug.
"I'm fine like I said I just needed to go to the bathroom," she smiled giving him a kiss as they headed back to the table with the others taking their seats. Nel glanced at Tatsuki and Orihime who looked at her concerned as she gave them a huge grin, "I'm fine you guys, no need to fret over me."
Rukia and Renji briskly walked in, giving their humblest apologizes, mostly Rukia giving them to her brother. "We are truly sorry," she bowed before she sat down in her chair along with her fiancee.
"There's no need for apology, I'm sure it was something of great importance that kept you held up," he said, his eyes glancing down at his cup after taking a sip.
"Of course, Nii-sama," she nervously agreed, glancing at her fiancee who grinned causing her to glare at him, as if warning him to keep silent.
"I'm sure it was extremely important," Rangiku mused, leaning close to her petite friend. "Sometimes when Shuhei and I are caught up in those 'extremely important' times, it's like the world around us doesn't exist," she giggled. Rukia wanting to strangle the blonde, could only cough very loudly and glare at her maid of honor. "You didn't have to come down on account of your guests, we would understand if this 'extremely important' thing kept you from seeing you for a few days," the blonde began to reiterate as the red-head began to snarl.
"We decided that it would be rude of us to neglect our guests," she sipped her drink nervously, glancing at her brother who remained silent.
"We! more as you decided," he grumbled, not at all happy with their current arrangement, receiving a kick from his loving fiancee. "Ow!"
Grimmjow entered the room at that moment, to sit beside Nel giving her a light kiss on the head. He then looked over to find Renji and Rukia, nodding his head to acknowledge their presence.
"So now that we're all here, I wanted to bring up what we were discussing earlier this week regarding our little sparing," Shunsui gave a sly grin, mostly to Grimmjow who nodded in agreement.
"I'm game, who else is going to be in this little sparing?" Grimmjow asked, continuing to eat the food he had left behind.
"Well, you and I of course along with your father and Jinta," Shunsui said causing the young red-head to raise his hand and smile.
"Looking forward to it," Jinta grinned.
"My son and I would like to join this sparing," Isshin boasted, causing the orange head to stare at him a little puzzled.
"When the hell did I ever agree to this?" Ichigo asked angrily, wiping his hands and glaring at his father.
"Come now, what's wrong with a little sparing it would be fun," he winked, watching his son close his eyes in irritation.
"I'll pass," Ichigo clarified, content with his father's pout at his answer.
"Figures!" Grimmjow chuckled.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Ichigo already pissed off, glancing at the blue haired man who turned to him.
"Exactly what it means, scared of a little friendly match?" he goated him, relishing in the angry glare the orange head gave him.
"Scared? You're going to regret saying that. Okay, I'm game," Ichigo said with a sneer as his lips curled into a smile.
"I'm in too," Tatsuki shouted, as she looked to Ulquiorra who nodded also, "And Ulquiorra as well."
Shuhei raised his hand, "I guess I'll do the same."
"Well shit! I'm game too," Nel said pumped up.
Jinta feeling a little overwhelmed, "I've never fought a girl before, are the rules the same or are there going to be rules?" he asked honestly trying to be courteous.
"The rules are don't punch below the belt for a guy and girls below the neck," Tatsuki snickered, seeing Jinta trying to understand what that meant. "I'm fucking with you, Jinta. I don't think there are rules, Am I right?" she looked around at her friends.
"I guess not hitting each other between the legs is off limits," Jushiro specified.
Tatsuki sucked her teeth not liking that particular rule.
"Tatsuki if your so hard up in hitting a guy in the nuts, Spare with Grimmjow, he's always rock solid," Nel laughed as the spiky-haired girl reddened, almost choking on something caught in her throat.
"That's gross, Nel!" she wheezed out, seeing the blue-haired man grin as well with his girlfriend.
"I'm jesting," she smiled, hugging her boyfriend."Not really," she whispered receiving a low growl from him when she playfully brushed her hand against his length.
"I... I would like to enter in if that's okay," Toshiro asked looking at the older men as Shunsui and Jushiro nodded. "I also studied martial arts as well."
"Wow, Toshiro! You seem to excel in just about anything?" Rangiku purred, causing the young white haired boy to become uncomfortable. "You're such a lucky girl Karin, he's such a gentleman, always learning new things, doing strenuous training to run back and forth on a field. I bet you never get tired especially with your fortitude," she playfully teased watching the couple squirm nervously, as the white-haired boy fiercely held his gaze at the blonde in irritation.
"Rangiku, would you leave him alone," Shuhei chuckled into his cup, watching his girlfriend get a rise out of the young boy.
"Okay, I'll stop," she winked at the flustered young man as he rolled his eyes looking the other way. "I'd cheer for you but I rather cheer for Shuhei. My screams of encouragement always get him pumped into action," she cooed seductively, creating the man to choke on his drink at the hidden innuendo in her statement that seemed to fly over the head of the sweet Kurosaki twin as Yuzu clasped her hands in excitement.
"I will cheer for Jinta-kun as well, I'm sure with my encouragement it will help in your upcoming fight. Right Jinta-Kun?" she glanced over at him with her expressive eyes, he began to profusely redden as she leaned closer.
Both Grimmjow and Renji couldn't contain their laughter as the blonde Kurosaki girl looked puzzled.
"Fuck off, you two," Jinta yelled obviously a little upset at his girlfriend being laughed at his expense.
"It's just that Grimmjow and I find it very thoughtful that Yuzu's..." Renji paused trying to find the right words.
"Moans," Grimmjow provided, causing Renji to throw a piece of noodle in his direction.
"SHOUTS of encouragement can help you..." Renji once more trying to think of something appropriate to say, only to have Grimmjow fill in the blank.
"Perform!" the blue-haired quipped, Jinta and Ichigo not at all pleased with their little playful banter, even though others found it hilarious as a few snickers escape from mouths.
"I''m afraid I'm not a fighter myself. What about you Rukia?" Retsu asked the petite woman, trying to sway the conversation elsewhere.
"Oh Renji and I would have loved to enter in this spare, but I have a wedding and do to obvious reasons I rather not have my husband sport a black eye," she smiled, causing her fiancee to look at her briefly with annoyance.
"Oi! What do you mean get a black eye?" he scrutinized.
"Please Renji, you're rough playing always gets you in trouble. I'm too cautious to ever receive such things," she boldly proclaimed drinking from her cup.
"Besides there's no need to exert yourself before the wedding, I myself will watch as well with my colleague," Byakuya mentioned tipping his cup to Sora who smiled nervously, sitting quietly with Retsu.
"I'm sure that bite marks she's trying to hide have nothing to do with exerting herself recently or could it be due to Renji's how did you put it Rukia, 'Rough Playing'?," Rangiku smiled deviously, Rukia quickly held her hand over her neck as she nervously swallowed, pale skin turning a deep red.
"I think that's none of your business, Rangiku," she growled through gritted teeth as the blonde giggled.
"Oh stop being so ashamed Rukia, I'm sure Byakuya has received love bites. Right?" she angled her head looking at the quiet man who had been trying to block out the whole conversation.
"Rangiku I think that's highly inappropriate to ask the person you work for a question like that?" Sora nervously chuckled.
"But we're not in a working atmosphere, now are we?" she grinned smugly causing Byakuya to look at the blonde as she raised a brow.
"I agree with your assessment of not currently being at a workplace, but I also agree with Sora that it is indeed inappropriate," he said with ease glancing down once more.
"Oh please, Byakuya. Your old but I'm sure your noble tool still works," she boldly said. Renji spat out his drink from laughing as Grimmjow chuckled hysterically.
Shunsui decided to put his two cents in to answer for the stoic man.
"Well, I can't speak for the other older man at this table but I can assure you that I don't have that problem," he grinned, causing the blonde to chuckle.
"Father, I think everyone knows about your exploits its not a damn secret," Nel frowned as she rolled her eyes.
"I understand Nel-chan, but I don't want to be lumped in with those who need those contraptions or pills as they get older," he was snapping his fingers trying to think of what the brand of pills was called, "I'm not sure what they are called, Isshin if you could help me out with the name of those blue pills I'm sure you're so fond of," he drank, glancing at the elder Kurosaki who eyed him with a grin, understanding the game Shunsui wanted to play.
"The answer is Viagra, the medical field is aware of such pills and I myself have prescribed to some of my older patients. I can assure you that I have no issue with erectile dysfunction. If you're interested Shunsui, you can stop by the clinic I'm sure there are pamphlets I have somewhere," he smiled, watching the straw hat man's expression still holding it's smile. Other's at the table started to feel the tension between the smiling men as Jushiro shook his head.
"Did I miss something?" Nel asked watching her father turn to her as he chuckled about to explain when he was interrupted.
"No, Nel-chan! I think your father is starting to realize that his body is not at the speed it once was, maybe you should calm down on the drinking, Shunsui, too much alcohol contributes to it," Isshin exclaimed, the straw hat man keeping his calm composure.
Shunsui tried to reach for his bottle only to realize Isshin held the glass item in his hand, dangling the bottle above his head, with a face of merriment. Both men seemed to be playing but their expressions said otherwise.
"I never had that issue especially with drinking too much, tell me is it from experience?" he reached for the bottle, but it was difficult to pry it from Isshin's grip as the spiky-haired man smiled, releasing his grip to let Shunsui have the bottle back.
"I apologize, I don't know my own strength. You know...strengthing yourself is something I like to mention to my patients. Maybe I should give you a few pointers to help in your lack of vigor," he took the bottle from Shunsui's hand when he noticed he wasn't pouring the contents, "Let me help with that Shunsui," he poured the amber contents into the curly haired man's cup as well as his. Both men continued to eye each other, slowly drinking from their cups, Isshin winked giving a smug grin.
"I think that's probably enough drink for the both of you," Jushiro calmly said, taking the bottle as he handed it to one of the employees.
"I think I'd like an explanation from one of you? " Nel asked, eyeing her father and then to Isshin and Jushiro. "Don't tell me it's nothing, because I'm old enough to know what a pissing match between two men is," she raised a brow waiting patiently, as the three men looked around noticing the faces from everyone.
Jushiro decided to break the ice, feeling like he was the only one to be fully honest with this ridiculous conflict between these two.
"I've known Shunsui for years and his love for beautiful women has always been his weakness, getting them has been an ego boost. He doesn't take to kindly to another dominate male stalking what he deems prey," he smiled receiving a pout from the man himself.
"Now Jushiro, you're painting me out to be a lion?" he frowned at his friend's description of himself.
"Well if the shoe fits," Jushiro shot back with a chuckle, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Dad is this about your supposed crush on his late wife? That was like how many years ago? Get over it!" Nel yelled at the stupidity of her father's pettiness.
"Nel-chan, he has gotten over it. You have to understand that it wasn't the fact he failed to get Masaki's attention, but Isshin tends to rub salt in the wound. Namely, his need to show off, he even did it to his late wife's ex-fiancee," Jushiro detailed to his god-daughter.
"I didn't show off to Ryuken...," he paused in thought for a moment before he laughed a little, "You're right I did, that was only because he was a know it all prick," Isshin said with much irritation.
"Jeez, goat chin. At some point mom was his fiancee you didn't have to be an ass about it," Karin said, shaking her head at her father's blunt smugness.
"A daughter should not talk to her father like that," Isshin pointed at her as she rolled her eyes.
"So my dad is a smug- prick, what else is new, doesn't explain why if Shunsui is over it what's with the current hostility?" Ichigo asked, eyeing the older men.
"It may have something to do with Shunsui having his sights set on a woman that is an acquaintance of Isshin," Jushiro said, chuckling nervously.
"First, gross and Secondly, what's the point of having sex at your age?" Karin asked with a nauseous expression when a bun was thrown at her.
"Karin would you stop being so blunt with Dad like that, its just weird," Yuzu yelled after throwing the item.
"Who said anything about sex, she's an acquaintance who you already know," he crossed his arms.
"Who?" Yuzu and Karin both asked.
"You remember Ikumi Unagiya," Isshin stated, getting a shocked look.
"I remember her, she's sweet. How has she been and her son?" Yuzu asked sweetly.
"She's fine, works here and son is studying to be an architect," he answered.
"That little bastard is studying to be an architect?" Ichigo shouted, receiving a glare from his fiancee. "What? He was a little shit," he shot back.
"Oh I remember Kaoru, but his mother I vaguely remember as black hair ..." Karin was tapping her head trying to remember when her eyes shot out from her sockets staring at her dad. "Eww, No way in hell. She's like what in her thirties?" she laughed as her dad drank from his cup.
"Thirty-two, like I said we are just friends nothing more," He flatly said.
"Oh Karin, there's nothing wrong with the age difference. I'm thirty-one, and if I didn't have Shuhei. Let's just say after seeing your father on the beach I most certainly wouldn't mind calling him Daddy," Rangiku giggled, her flushed face hinting that she may have had too much to drink.
"I think that's enough," Shuhei shook his head trying to reach for her cup as Rangiku shoved his hand away.
"So if you state you are just friends, you wouldn't mind if I were to talk to her?" Shunsui looked at Isshin who smiled at him.
"By all means Shunsui, I don't own the woman. Who's stopping you from talking to her?" Isshin raised a brow as a challenge, Shunsui continuing to eye him.
"Okay, now I am curious," Rangiku said, looking to Byakuya, who glanced at her.
"I will not bring an employee here so you can gawk at her," Byakuya voice was calm but had risen a little with finality.
"Please, Please, Pleassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssse," she annoyingly pleaded.
Byakuya tightening his hand around his cup as he beckoned for an employee to come over. "Please ask Unagiya, if she would like to join my friends for dinner. Tell her that it will not ruin her schedule and have Ms. Grantis take her place. Mention that it is her choice no one is forcing her hand."
"And she will be heavily compensated," Rangiku shouted, as the employee looked to Byakuya for confirmation.
"She is not a prostitute Rangiku," he stated, "But mention that whatever she wants I will not hold it against her."
The employee left swiftly as Isshin began to rub his head in irritation, drinking from his cup heavily.
After a few minutes, the woman in question walked through the doors with the employee. She gripped her hands together nervously as she vaguely glanced at everyone before her full attention was towards her employer.
"Mr. Kuchiki, you requested for me to be present?" she bowed out of respect, smiling in her blue kimono.
"It seems your quite popular with my guests. If you could please join us if that is adequate?" he asked, nodding as she looked among the guests for a seat to sit. Another employee placed a seat between Renji and Jushiro, as she nodded at both of them before taking her seat. "Hello everyone!" she waved as everyone acknowledged her with a simple nod and hellos.
"Good to see you again, Ms. Unagiya. I do apologize for us keeping you away from your duties. I hope it's not an inconvenience," Jushiro admitted to the newcomer, extending out his hand for a shake as she smiled accepting his hand.
"It's quite all right I had a feeling I was going to run into you guys again, just didn't expect the whole family," she nervously laughed as a cup was poured for her, looking at the cup then to Byakuya. He waved it off, allowing her to drink as she chugged the whole thing in one go.
"Wow, you're quite the looker, I don't mean to offend but ... if I was a guy I'd certainly try to get into your pants... Wait! Who am I kidding I'm drunk enough to do that now," she spurted out, chuckling as Shuhei finally was able to grab the glass and bottle from her.
"Technically I'm wearing a kimono, but you're not so bad yourself," she winked chugging another cup as she giggled.
A cough*
Byakuya interrupting as he straightened his collar, motioning to Ikumi towards his guests at the table. He introduced her by naming everyone as some familiar faces caused her to smile.
"Aww, you girls have grown so much and beautiful too. Are those your boyfriends next to you?" both girls answered by nodding, each sporting red cheeks, "Good Lord! What are they feeding you boys, you have this old lady blushing or I'm seriously getting a little tipsy," she laughed as the young men blushed at the woman's forwardness. "Ichigo, you've grown quite handsome yourself. I've always known you'd be drop-dead gorgeous, I see you've matured a bit too, grown out of your funk and became responsible," she snickered.
"Still the perverted old lady with the creepy ass kid," he shot back giving her a grin.
"Oi! You leave my baby boy out of this. Are you still mad about him wrecking your room?" she argued.
"He spewed chocolate syrup all over my room because I wouldn't give that little shit chocolate milk," he hollered, receiving a glare as she placed her cup down hard on the table.
"He said it was your favorite thing to eat," she furrowed her brows as she looked sadden. Orihime seemed to fidget a little as she began to blush.
"Oh, that's right... that cute auburn haired girl who's friends with Yuzu and Karin, Orihime, right? No wonder the name sounded familiar. You were adorable then and now you're a fox, this punk's fiancee?" she laughed, causing Ichigo's eye to twitch.
"The only punk is your devil spawn of a son," he growled out.
"Hey! Don't call him a devil spawn as if implying he's spawned from hell," she shot back.
"If the shoe fits, Ikumi," he alluded.
"You're still the same, little jerk. Anyways, I believe your fiancee can speak for herself. Orihime how have you been?" she asked her as Orihime blushed and answered with a nervous smile.
"Oh I'm sorry, is she mute? She didn't have any problems speaking when she was little just a little shy," she asked concerned as her best friend began to talk.
"No, Ms. Unagiya she can talk but now that you mention it," Tatsuki grilled her as her friend redden considerably, trying to shy away from her friend's scrutiny, "Orihime, you've been quiet this whole time? What's wrong with you?" Tatsuki mused, staring intently at the red-faced girl.
"It's nothing!" Ichigo said, avoiding everyone as he looked to Orihime who glanced at him with a pout.
"Bullshit it's nothing," Tatsuki growled, ignoring the orange head as she talked with her friend. "Orihime, would you just spit it out."
Orihime looked to Ichigo as she sat up straight and began to nervously smile, "S...Sorry Tatsuki," she said in a hoarse whisper as those around her could barely hear, "I must have lost my v..voice," she tried to speak a little louder to no avail, as she touched her throat.
"How the hell did you lose your voice?" Tatsuki yelled as she looked at Ichigo with a grin, "It wouldn't be because of screaming too much?" she stared at Ichigo intently. as he stared right back at her. Orihime nervously grasped her hands together as they both eyed each other.
"I guess chocolate isn't your favorite thing to eat anymore," Ikumi suggested, while others at the table stared at her boldness as they began to laugh, except for one who gave a furious expression.
"Seems it has been demoted to second," Isshin retorted back with a chuckle.
"ALRIGHT! Enough! What I do with my fiancee is no one's business so stay out," he growled, Orihime lightly pulled his collar to whisper into his ear, causing the orange head to halt his anger in surprise at his fiancee's forcefulness.
"Orihime says she apologizes for straining her voice due to ...," he hesitated with his words before looking over to her as she looked at him urging him to continue. Sighing he began to speak, " her expressing her ... joy at the beauty of this island," Ichigo expressed, avoiding everyone's stare as he looked to Orihime who smiled holding his hand.
Grimmjow chuckled along with Renji who laughed at his interpretation of how Orihime lost her voice. The orange haired man gave them both the deadliest look that rolled off their shoulders like nothing.
"You sure it was the beauty of this island?" Renji inquired, drinking from his cup with a grin. Ichigo held his utensils tighter, as he steadily stared at the red head's face.
"Just let it go Renji," Sora finding the conversation inappropriate and uncomfortable. "This subject has lingered a bit too long for my taste."
Grimmjow smiled at Renji, who shook his head no, trying to dissuade him from saying what was on his mind.
"Seriously! After what he just fucking said and I can't follow-up?" Grimmjow sneered at Renji.
"Yes, Grimmjow! I suggest you don't," Ichigo answered for Renji, amber brown eyes staring into fierce blues. Grimmjow showing his canine's as the orange head waited for the next words to come out of his mouth, before Grimmjow's phone rang. Rolling his eyes while licking his teeth, he proceeded to grab his phone. Glancing at the familiar number, grinning as he held the phone to his ear, having an inkling as to who it was.
"Hello? The person you are trying to reach is unavailable to speak to a crazy ass fabricator like you," he said in his professional tone, waiting for the inevitable screech on the other end.
"DONT GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT, YOU FUCKING DICKLESS MOTHERFUCKER. HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME, I WILL SUE YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE. I FUCKING HATE YOU," a woman on the other end yelled so loud as everyone could hear, Nel looking at Grimmjow curiously
"There's nothing I need to say to you and you can speak to my lawyers who are eager to hear you slander me much in the same way you like to conjure bullshit for your papers about me. This isn't the first time Cirrucci, I may have fucked a few mothers but I can assure you I am not dickless, that I'm sure you can vouch," he smugly laughed as the screech yelled again.
"FUCK YOU, GRIMMJOW!"
"I think I'll pass," he said not in the mood for this as he attempted to hang up the phone,
"THIS ISNT OVER GRIM..." he hung up the phone on the upset reporter when after a few second it rang again, growling as he angrily pulled the battery out.
"What the hell was that about?" Renji asked before Nel could as she looked at him with a concerned face.
"That reporter chick, ran something in the papers about myself and ...," he looked to Nel as she looked at him, "Nel, so I called her place of business saying that I was interested in having this particular newspaper outlet to be the first to have first dibs on any interviews and exclusive rights on any new Pantera creations before anyone else. I also informed them that I was very disheartened that there's a particular reporter, that has said things about myself and the people I care about. They apologized profusely and was quick to tell me they would take care of it as I had my lawyers draw a contract to make it official. It also helped that before I made the call I bought 40 % of the shares for that newspaper," he arrogantly flashed his teeth, as Renji shook his head.
"You smart son of a bitch," Renji cackled.
"You didn't have to do all that, Grimmy," Nel looked at him with a warm smile.
"Who said I did it for you?" he grinned as she gave him a kiss.
"You look familiar?" Ikumi began to say as Grimmjow and Nel broke the kiss to look at her.
"Well he owns Pantera, you may have heard about him on the news?" Jushiro specified.
"NO! I know that but it's something else," she couldn't put her finger on it as she drank again and then looked to Renji, "Have you always been friends?"Renji looked to her, shaking his head to agree as she shrugged it off.
"Nevermind, it will come back to me. My memory is so bad, I just hope it doesn't get worse when I get older. Yet, I have the capacity to remember how to make any drink like a Mojito to a Leg Spreader," she claimed, sipping from her cup feeling a bit warm.
"That's a drink?" Karin amusingly asked, glancing at the dark-haired woman, who looked at her to answer with a nod. As Isshin rubbed his temples in aggravation, not at all happy with having this subject with his daughters in the room.
"Oh! How about Screw me Sideways?" Rangiku purred.
"Of course!" she put down her drink, "I used to work at a ... bar too when I was younger."
"Ms. Unagiya, a woman after my own heart," Shunsui flirted, raising his glass, as Nel rolled her eyes.
"Actually anything in a bottle is sexy to you, so I guess a woman handling bottles is a damn aphrodisiac, huh Dad?" Nel blurted out.
"In a sense," Shunsui laughed.
"I bet you say that to all the bartenders, even the scruffy looking ones," she laughed.
"How did you know?" he jested causing the woman to laugh, "So how long are we going to enjoy your company?"
"Well, I work the late shift and take the ferry home in the morning," she smiled politely.
"The reason I ask is that we are having this sparing match tomorrow," he asked her.
"What time are you planning this event? I arrive around 12:00?" she asked interested, eyeing Isshin who was eating from his plate.
"We really didn't set a time but we could wait for you," he smiled. "Do you dabble in martial arts?"
"Not really just did a little boxing, mostly to protect myself and at my other place of employment to keep the drunkards from coping a feel."
"This must be a step up from your previous employment then?"
"Of course, especially with the pay and wearing more clothing," she lifted her glass to Byakuya as she winked, " but I sort of expected that from my previous jobs."
"What sort of bar was this?" Nel asked raising her brow.
"Yeah, well... I worked in other reputable bar establishments but my first bartending gig was at a strip club. You'd get a lot of assholes that try to feel you up when security is not looking. Knee to the groin or their arm twisted in an unnatural way usually does the trick."
"Only bartending? Did you also dance on stage too?" Nel asked, leaning in closer with an expressive smile.
"Oh Hell No! I have no rhythm whatsoever," she covered her mouth to laugh, as others chuckled along with her.
"How old were you when you started?" Retsu asked, interested in the fiery spirit of the newcomer.
"I started working at Pretty Pink and Leather at seventeen after high school. Where I met my late husband ... I know what a place to meet your soulmate," she laughed with a hint of sadness.
"Oh, sorry for your loss," Nel said as the older woman shrugged it off.
"He worked as a bouncer, I got pregnant at nineteen but we worked together at the bar until ...," she didn't finish, almost understanding her reasoning for not proceeding with her story. "But enough about me, let's change the subject from the dreary... Shit!" she yelled. "That's where I remember you," she pointed at Grimmjow, who looked a little uncertain, "and him too," also directing her extended hand at Renji.
Renji and Grimmjow looked at each other, looking to Ikumi for some sort of explanation.
"Gosh, Little boy blue. Have I changed that much or do you go through woman like drinking water that you don't remember me?" she smiled, when Grimmjow's eyes widen and Renji began to understand as well.
"Coyote Stark's girl? I Cum!" Renji joked, causing the girl to glare at him for the vulgar name that was given to her from drunks who couldn't read her nameplate, generating the name amongst the patrons like wildfire.
"Ha ha very funny! It's really Coyote Stark Unaigya, he thought using his middle name would sound cooler than Unaigya," shaking her head.
"Excuse me what?" Rukia asked, wanting to know the history and hating the fact of being in the dark about things, especially when it came to her fiancee.
"The guys at the club would call her that instead of her actual name, used to piss her off," Renji laughed, drinking from his cup. "It's also because most of the guys there jacked off to her."
"Including you?" Rukia yelled, impatiently waiting for an answer.
"No! I just went with Grimmjow to hang out, he used to bug the shit out of me because he wanted to go but he was too young to get drinks. So he'd pay me on top of the money to buy the drinks and I'd sneak it to him until he was of age."
"Very responsible, Renji!" Rukia rolled her eyes.
"More money in my pocket," Renji shrugged. Grimmjow stayed quiet which Ikumi took note.
"You're quiet little boy blue, very uncommon for a loud mouth like you," she jested.
"No one calls me that anymore," he growled clearly annoyed.
"Why did they call you little boy blue?" Nel asked curiously as she smiled at her boyfriend's embarrassment.
"His hair for obvious reasons and he was so young and adorable," Ikumi laughed making the blue-haired man slightly uncomfortable being called adorable.
"It's also because of his loud mouth and getting his horn blown from the woman at the club," Renji grinned.
"Fuck you, Renji," Grimmjow growled, not taking too kindly being the butt of jokes.
"I called him that because even though he was loud and obnoxious, he was honest and such a gentleman to all the girls, compared to some of the pricks that came in," Ikumi professed, getting a few who couldn't believe it.
"Grimmjow?" Tatsuki questioned as one of the unbelievers, getting a glare from Nel.
"Yes, Tatsuki! I know you can't fathom it but Grimmjow is as sweet as a pussycat deep down, especially when he was younger, " Rangiku added.
"That's because he learned, like me, that being the nice guy, gets you fucked over by a pretty face," Shuhei whispered, just enough for others to hear as he grabbed Rangiku, kissing her neck.
"Awww who was she?" Nel grabbed her boyfriend's chin as he scowled.
"She was no one, "Grimmjow yelled, turning away.
"Her name was Tier Hallibel, even though she slept with men, she preferred woman more." Ikumi giggled.
"Aww did she break your heart?" Nel said trying to baby him by giving him soft kisses to which he tried to move away from, causing his girlfriend to laugh as he fought.
"You too, Ikumi!" Renji pointed out.
"How did I?" she looked confused but also finding it very amusing.
"He used to stroke his horn..., " Renji started to say when Grimmjow threw a bun at the redhead who ignored the intended projectile, " ...to you until he found out you were Stark's girl," another item of food narrowly dodged as the redhead continued to laugh, his eyes filling with tears, "...and then he stroke it some more, until it blew."
"Shut the fuck up, Renji!" Grimmjow yelled out, obviously upset the thrown food was not stopping his friend from causing him further embarrassment.
"There's no need to be embarrassed Grimmjow. With that type of setting, I was used to it, plus it's normal. I'm dealing with a fourteen-year-old who locks himself in the bathroom for one hour and swears he's washing his hair," Ikumi said, everyone at the table laughed, except for Grimmjow who sucked his teeth.
"As a doctor, I can vouch that it's completely normal. During the prime of an adolescent, most cases boys relieve themselves two to threes times daily. Just ask my son," the words came out of the elder Kurosaki, giving a deep hearty laugh. Ichigo, not at all liking his father's insult, grabbed him with dishes flying everywhere as his father's body was pulled across the table.
"I think it's time for your bedtime old man," hands still locked onto his father's collar as he walked towards the double doors causing it to open when he aggressively used his father to open them. With both Kurosaki men gone, it seemed to be quiet for a bit.
Until Ichigo flew right back in the dining hall, his back hitting the floor when his father seems to have escaped his hold, punching him hard in the chest.
"Now I taught you better than to let your guard down," Isshin came in again as the orange head narrowly dodged the punch that was aiming for his head. "That's my boy!" the elder Kurosaki hollered.
"Something is mentally wrong with you," he kicked his father hard, crashing his leg down on the older man's back.
Orihime tried to say something but her voice was too low, trying desperately to do something to stop it. Yuzu kept on calling for her brother and father to stop, with neither one acknowledging her. Others didn't mind as they felt it was some form of entertainment to add to their dinner. Orihime took a piece of chicken she had on her plate and threw it at them, hitting Ichigo in the back of the head.
"What the hell?" Ichigo touched his head to feel sauce on his head and glanced at Orihime with a puzzled look, while she covered her mouth in shock. It caused the orange haired man to pause for a moment before his father swept the leg from under him, causing him to collapse.
"I taught you not to be easily distracted, even if it's the beautiful Orihime-chan."
'P ..Papa-san!" she voiced, sounding like it was getting better but you could still hear the strain. Isshin stopped his movements to look at his future daughter-in-law with concern when his son took the opportunity to kick the older man square in the chin.
"What was that about getting distracted?" he breathlessly said, staring at his father who held his wounded chin. They both stared at each other breathlessly, one with a heated scowl and the other with a proud smirk.
"Save it for tomorrow, you idiots," Karin yelled out as they moved from their spots to head back to the table.
"On that note, I think we should retire. With the Kurosaki men displaying their lack of etiquette and causing things to be in disarray, I see no need to continue with dinner," he got up, beckoning for the other employees to deal with the clean-up. While Isshin and Ichigo avoided everyone's stares as they proceeded to look at the ruined table.
Ikumi made to start clearing the dishes when Byakuya held out his hand. "There's no need Ms. Unagiya, you have the rest of the night off as well as tomorrow. You are allowed to use the grounds like any other guest or you can choose to head back home. It's your choice to return to watch the sparing event tomorrow. The least I can do with you being subjected to my friend's lack of discipline. You will also receive more pay and as promised anything else," he told her as she let go of the dish and nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Kuchiki, but it was really no trouble, I had a good time. I will stay for a bit then head home. If I don't see you again tonight, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," she bowed in respect, as the elder Kuchiki nodded and left.
"So planning on staying for a bit?" Isshin walked up to Ikumi, who snickered seeing a red mark on the side of his chin.
"Yeah, just for a bit. Still battle hardening your son?" she continued to laugh as the elder Kurosaki nodded his head.
"This is great news Ms. Unagiya, Jushiro and I was just planning on walking out to the terrace that has a nice view of the night sky. Would you like to join us?" Shunsui asked, holding onto the tip of his hat as he smiled.
Ikumi glanced in Isshin's direction who was looking at his daughter Karin who wore a worn-out expression, using her boyfriend for support. "How about you Isshin?" she asked him as he furrowed his eyes in thought sustaining eye contact with his dark-haired daughter.
'Must have been the vigorous training that she had this morning with Toshiro,' he contemplated within his mind.
"I think I'm going to see how Yuzu and Karin are doing," when he made to head in their direction of his daughters, a soft arm snaked around his to prevent him from going.
"Aww, Why would you want to bother those girls when they are having so much fun with their boyfriends. Wouldn't you want to have the company of friends instead of being the fifth wheel." Isshin glanced at Jushiro and Shunsui than to the dark-haired woman who held his arm as he sighed.
Ikumi used her other arm to wrap around Shunsui giving him a smile, "Okay, Mr. Odelschwanck, lead the way."
"Please call me Shunsui," he recommended, placing a warm hand on the woman's fingers that gripped his arm as she nodded. Jushiro followed the trio to their destination, wondering what kind of night was this going to turn out, shaking his head with a grin across his face.
I hope you enjoyed it, I know my favorite character couldn't speak in this but I was too tempted to show you the outcome of how incredibly goo Ichigo is with his tongue. lol
Always love writing Renji and Rukia, especially Renji who has that untamed fire in him, Jesus is that guy HOT.
That shirt Nel wore I got that from a song I over heard my husband playing, I thought it was cute. I mean some of you might find that it's negative and I apologize for that.
PLEASE AGAIN! write back on what you thought.
