I DO NOT OWN BLEACH

Hey guys!

I have had a real idea of what people like Byakuya/Kaien/Izuru/Toshiro will do in the future, so if you enjoy the nobles then you'll definitely like those four. For some reason I just pictured Kaien throwing someone over the balcony and I immediately found out what type a guy he'll be: An ambitious dude. So you'll be seeing a lot more of those four in around the 30s (Chapter wise) and in the third story, although some may die until then so make your bets!

Instead of doing a prequel (I honestly wanna try a few new different stories) I'll release Ichigo/Rukia's past around the third story. As well as Kaien's and what happened between him and Kukaku, his expeditions in the wars as well as HitsuKarin meet-ups and Byakuya's past. Also, what's on the horizon for Byakuya/Kaien/Toshiro/Izuru and what will Yamamoto and Bach do in the future as well. I'd say Kaien and Byakuya would be main-ish characters in the next 10-15 chapters (Post chapter 30) Kaien and Byakuya will be pretty badass, in their own ways. Toshiro won't appear for a while...but he'll get very big, not in size though. (Or the way you pervs are thinking, it's in status people! Status!)

Any way, I can't leave the other characters hanging. I can't wait to write Ichigo in the future, when they are a true legit army. He's going to be such a strong-minded guy then and so will Rukia. At the moment, Ichigo is still a bit shaky and often needs Rukia to back him up and he's, like Rukia said, a bit vulnerable at times. But when a few internal troubles happen (Which will be within the next four/five chapters) he'll realize that there is too many lives at stake and he's responsible for them and he can't be lenient any more, if he has to kill one of his men for the sake of them all, he'll do it. It's his way or the highway! Renji, Kugo and Grimmjow will be loyal to him, extremely. Kenpachi will be as well...but his bloodlust will cause a lot of problems for him, you'll see this in the future.

Any ways, let's get going!

Byakuya rolled his eyes as the nobles in the pulvanis that he sat it began to praise his friend Kaien in ways that he did not deserve. Byakuya wanted to comment with a taunting gesture, stating that 'There is some brown on your nose' but sadly, he could not. It would be foolish to do such a thing, sadly he had to sit and listen to the overestimated claims that Kaien was 'The greatest warrior in the Republic.' Byakuya was not...well he was arrogant, but he knew he was at least equal to Kaien in physical military skills, he and the Shiba trained to a tie all the time, it was just because Kaien arrogantly displayed his skills was the reason he received so much praise. Either way, the two weren't on a champion gladiators level, the two knew if they went against the likes of Ichigo, Grimmjow, Kugo, Kenpachi or Stark, they would most likely lose.

Byakuya and Kaien would be around the veteran gladiator level, which was quite a feat for a soldier. The trainings regime for the Seireiteians was not as strict for the gladiators and they did not fight as much, but Kaien and Byakuya were quite loyal when it came to the schedule, training for four hours every single day. From eight-am to lunch, then they would wash and begin their Senator and Praetorian duties at one-pm until eight-pm.

Byakuya digressed, the Shiba leader stood down in the arena, holding his fists to his mouth as he wiggled his fingers. Kaien was starting at a gladiator, a veteran one who wielded one gladius. Kaien had two cestus around his knuckles, which were leather fingerless gloves up to the mid-forearm, with iron plating around the knuckles. Kaien had brown boots with white fur trimmings, with dark leather wrappings around his legs and his chest bare as he looked at the gladiator before him. It was a rare and enjoyable view when a Seireiteian noble decided to take up arms in the sands, many emperor's past when the Republic was under dictatorship used to fight in the arena, although the enemy would be severely handicapped, many a hidden wound or drugged of the sort. Kaien rarely did this, only when he had the option of being handicapped himself. For example, heads or tails and whoever gets it right get's to be handicapped.

Either way, Kaien was now handicapped in this match.

The match was now on and the gladiator swung his single gladius, the tip grazing Kaien's nose as his head was quickly pulled back. The gladiator lifted his foot and smashed it into Kaien's lower torso, sending the Praetor on his back before he rolled behind and onto his feet again. Kaien kept his fists up, gulping as the sword came right at him, kneeling as the blade swung over his head. Using his squatting position to his advantage, Kaien shot his fist forward and hit the gladiator in the stomach, before standing and shoving his knee into the gladiator's face before spinning and swinging his fist, the iron knuckles crashing against the gladiator's jaw, forcing the trained performer to fall with a twist.

Kaien cheered and the crowd roared, but then the gladiator stood once more. With a sneer, the gladiator charged and swung, the blade slicing Kaien's chest, before swinging downwards and cutting his arm as Kaien turned in pain, the latter quickly leapt back to avoid any other injuries. Kaien sucked in a hissing breath through his teeth before moving again, pushing the sword-wielding hand away before delivering a hook to the gladiator. The blade was swung again, but Kaien snapped his fingers around the wrist and delivered three punches to the stomach, then scooped his foot behind the gladiators and pushed him down, straddling him and punching fiercely. With each punch, a squirt of blood splashed against Kaien's face as the crowd cheered. With one last devastating punch, Kaien stood and laughed, motioning his hands back and forth as if asking for cheers, which was requited joyfully.

Kaien was very popular with the crowd, as he always seemed to act like 'A normal person' which was very wrong. They did not know what went on behind closed doors, Kaien wasn't exactly a saint and he had a bit of a mean streak sometimes, although the people of Seireitei did not know that. Byakuya rolled his eyes as the people in the Pulvanis clapped and praised, a little hint of resentment coming on.

Kaien just cheered.

However, in Hokutan things were much more quiet. It had been a day since Ichigo and Rukia's wedding and things were getting a little...hairy in the bedroom. However, before you think it's anything sexual, it was not. In fact, Ichigo was shaving...or rather Rukia was shaving Ichigo. He sat in a wooden chair, his chest bare with his greaves, bracers, belt and loincloth still on. Rukia kept pacing around him, trimming off pieces of body hair.

The orange-haired rebel held his arm up as Rukia padded his underarm hair with a white, thick, paste-like specimen and spread it over the hairs. She knelt down and pulled the dagger from Ichigo's boot out and completely cut the hairs from his armpit clean off, comfortably too. "You like me better like this?" Ichigo asked as she spread more of the white, paste-like substance over his chest. Rukia nodded, giving a small 'Mmm-hmm' and slid the blade down the torso of her...husband. Rukia smiled at the title and cut more gently, but still firmly as the paste swept away with the hairs. Trimming around the nipple, she worked on the other armpit before grabbing a cloth and wrapping it around Ichigo's dagger, pulling all the rogue hairs and paste away, before dipping it in water and doing it again. She dried the blade with a clean cloth before dipping it in an oily substance and cutting away at his growing stubble.

"Is that all?" Ichigo asked.

Rukia pressed her knuckles against her hips, before raising an eyebrow. "You're hair is rather ragged, you look like an animal" She commented. "Come here, I'll cut it" Rukia said. She walked behind Ichigo and grabbed Ichigo's locks firmly and said "I'll cut it the way you used to have it" Rukia said "A bit longer perhaps"

Rukia cut away at the hair, orange locks falling to the ground. Ichigo winced as the hair tucked roughly at his scalp and often let out annoyed yelps, forcing Rukia to slap at his arm and order him to keep still. As the deed was done, Ichigo had his hair the way he used to have it. Short and spiky, but still a bit long and shaggy. His spiky bangs still reached past his eyebrows, but at least his ears weren't covered. Rukia ran a hand through his smooth hair and kissed his scalp "There now!" She declared to her husband "Now I can look into your eyes when we speak"

Ichigo growled "Now the hairs will itch at my back"

Rukia smiled slyly "You know what you must do?" She asked, placing her hands on Ichigo's shoulders from behind, squatting down so that her mouth was next to his ear. . Ichigo rose an eyebrow "Wash them away, in a bath" She said. Ichigo laughed as she began to heat up water for the bath, pouring it in when it reached the almost boiling temperature. Ichigo scratched his chin and asked her, his eyebrow risen.

"But what if I make an error?" He asked innocently "I would need someone to wash my back"

"Who could do such a thing?" Rukia asked. "Ah! I know!" Rukia gasped in a false tone "Your new wife" She grinned. Ichigo smiled and cupped her face, his eyes staring into hers.

"I think the husband agrees" He said, catching her mouth in a kiss. Rukia moaned and quickly swung her leg over Ichigo, sitting on his lap on the wooden chair. Ichigo planted feverish kisses at her neck as she let out small, enjoyed moans throughout. "We'll let the water cool down for a moment" He said, hooking his finger with Rukia's belt and pulling it out on one, clean swoop. Rukia's dress began to loosen as he sent his wandering hands up her back, still placing hot kisses around her collarbone as she straddled his waist on the little wooden chair. Ichigo untied the kot to Rukia's cuirass/dress and the upper-part of the dress fell down, revealing her breasts to him.

Ichigo caught them in his mouth immediately, his hands squeezing Rukia's rear end tightly as she began to grind herself into his hips. Rukia rested her chin on Ichigo's scalp as she bit her lip, shutting her eyes tightly as Ichigo nipped at her nipple. Suddenly, Ichigo bent down and loosened her sandals and greaves, pulling them slightly off. Rukia kicked the remainder off them away and fiddled with Ichigo's loincloth, pulling the whole thing off alongside his bracers, greaves and shoes alongside her husbands help.

The orange-haired rebel lifted her, the latter's legs wrapping around former's waist as he walked over to the now cooling bath, slightly dropping her in to the bath, the water hotter than she expected. Ichigo quickly fitted himself in and grabbed her ankles and pulled her onto his hips.

The bath was an iron tub, basically. It could fit a seven-foot tall man, so Ichigo and Rukia fit in, easier if Rukia sat on his hips. Rukia cupped Ichigo's face and shot her tongue into his mouth as she eased down onto him, Ichigo's hands wrapped around her back, his hands hooking around her shoulders. Rukia let out a squeak into Ichigo's mouth as she moved again, sliding her hips up slowly and down slower. Ichigo bit her lip, she was so tight! "Ugh!" Ichigo grunted. Rukia giggled into his mouth as she began to move faster. Rukia placed two hands at either side of Ichigo's head, gripping the rims of the bath tub and started to roll her hips.

Ichigo rested his head on the rim of the bath tub as Rukia leaned down and kissed his neck. Ichigo let out a masculine, shuddered breath as Rukia let out a feminine yelp. Gripping tighter, Ichigo shot up and kissed Rukia's neck, biting it firmly as Rukia's eyes shot wide in shock, not that she was complaining. Ichigo flipped Rukia over and she placed her foot at either side of the tub, resting her ankles on the rims. Ichigo looked down at her, the water kept splashing around their bodies so now Rukia's breasts were glistening with the liquid, her hair damp as she quivered with anticipation. Rukia placed her hands on Ichigo's abs, sliding them up and down his torso as she groped at his muscles, before hooking her arms with his shoulders as he began to seriously pound into her. Ichigo's hips never made contact with Rukia's as he stopped just a centimetre away from the collision before pulling back and pushing forward, doing the same again and again, creating a pleasuring, teasing rhythm for Rukia as her nails dragged down as wet back, begging for harder strokes. She placed her lips on his. "Faster..." She begged "Please"

Ichigo smirked, operations were now in order as he began to move faster and harder, the water of the bath splashing and moving, causing mini-waves as his moved his hips, sliding into her as her toes curled furiously, her eyes rolling into the back of her head. Ichigo looked at Rukia, her pleasured demeanour and her soaking wet hair was a glorious sight as he leaned down and kissed her, groaning into her mouth as their soaking, glistening bodies entwined and her legs wrapped around his waist as he pulled her up into his lap, his arms around her back as he knelt. Ichigo held on to her for dear life as she buried her nose into his neck, squeals of delight coming from her delicate mouth as a heavy blush stained her face. Ichigo felt her tighten around him and he knew she was going to have an orgasm soon, she was going to come.

Deciding against the idea to drag it out any further, Ichigo lifted her hips and began to push and pull Rukia into him as he thrusted into her along with the rhythm. Rukia let out yelps as felt felt her climax come, before an even louder scream came from her as Ichigo came, who let out a deep grunt as he climaxed as well. Rukia let out a final, heavenly moan that made Ichigo's mouth water, when she orgasmed she really sounded like an angel and Ichigo loved it, he loved the fact that she was hers. He wouldn't sugar-coat it, she was his wife and she was his, forever. As he slid under Rukia, her back to his chest he wrapped his arms around her waist as she tiredly buried her head in his neck. "It feels...ever more intense after" Rukia said

"After what?" Ichigo asked

"Marriage" Rukia smiled "Making love is even better than before" She grinned. Ichigo smiled, running a hand through her wet hair as he kissed her head. Tracing his hand up and down her soft tummy, he reached over and grabbed a cloth, rinsing it and then dragging it across her tummy gently. The cloth began to move up to her shoulders, wiping her neck and behind her ears as she rested into his chest contently. Ichigo wiped the cloth over her back, then lower and lower, squeezing a certain area on the way down. Ichigo lifted his knees and in turn, her knees and began to drag the cloth over her thigh and behind her knees. Scooping it in her her groin and slightly over her sensitive area, wiping away any of the juices they had both shot out. Ichigo replaced the cloth with a clean one and then he said "Put your back to the other side"

Rukia did so and he slowly began to clean her leg, Rukia resting contently as he cleaned her small feet, massaging them slightly. The washing turned into a massage as he gently squeezed her legs, feet and thighs as she lay there lazily. As Ichigo was about to move upwards, Rukia shot up and kissed him. Ichigo returned it and was surprised once Rukia turned around, wiggling her behind towards him. Once again, he became erect and placed his two hands on the rim of the bath, as did Rukia after she guided him into her.

Ichigo's breath shook before chuckling, this was supposed to be a simple haircut.

Rukia knelt in her normal attire, her hand gripping something hard. Before you think it, it was a wooden spoon which stirred a pot of soup which she was making for herself and Ichigo. It had cooked boar meat in it, with all different herbs and spices. Rukia would take the meat out and it would be so tender the meat would practically slide off the bone. There was different kinds of vegetables in another pot as well, which she stirred. Ichigo lay on a small sofa-chair and had his eyes closed, resting. Rukia wandered over and kissed his forehead, forcing him to open his eyes slightly.

"You must be exhausted" Rukia commented offhandedly. "After the wedding, leading the rebels and...well our previous interludes" She blushed "I'm making dinner!" She smiled "I learnt a few things when I was still in Yoruichi's service. Unohana often cooked and she was good at it, I watched and learned basically" She smiled. "Unohana often spends time with Orihime now, teaching her how to heal. Did you know that?"

Ichigo shrugged "I did not" He said "It is good for her though" He commented. "I do not know what is up with her these days. In Karakura she'd pine after me and in slavery she was married to Uryu. Out here..." Ichigo mused "I never see her much"

"A shame" Rukia mused "I enjoy her" She said. "She's a nice girl"

"She was annoying" Ichigo said "But Ii could not say anything bad about her either."

"I couldn't blame her, who wouldn't be in love with you?" Rukia smiled "But you're mine now" Rukia finished "Forever"

Ichigo laughed "I was just thinking that!" He said, trying to get up but he was too tired. Rukia rolled her eyes and noticed that the food was almost finished. Quickly grabbing wooden trays from the counter of the villa, Rukia quickly scooped the meat out and put it on one tray before dividing it between two, then pouring the soup into two bowls. She did the same with the vegetables and quickly walked over to Ichigo, who stood and took the tray.

The two trays were a flat surface, with two stands at each side so they could eat it sitting or laying down. Rukia stole Ichigo's seat and quickly lay down, nibbling at the food with a small fork. Ichigo sighed, lifting Rukia's legs and setting them on his thighs as he sat down, quickly barking down his food. Rukia was a rather good cook, the meat was one of the best things he had ever tasted.

It was quiet and peaceful, was this what it would be like after the war? When everyone settled down and raised families? Ichigo wouldn't mind it if he spent the rest of his life like this. He looked to his wife who was nibbling at her food indifferently with a little innocent look on her face. Ichigo knew from experience Rukia was far from innocent, in and out of the bedroom. As they ate the meal contently, Ichigo looked at her and she looked back. "Again?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Why not?" He smirked. "I know you love it"

"Do you know?" Rukia asked slyly "Well show me-"

The opening of Hokutan's gate was heard and Ichigo rose an eyebrow. "Should that have happened?" He asked. He turned to Rukia "Should it have?" He asked again. Rukia shrugged and Ichigo cursed "Fuck!" He growled. Ichigo walked out of his villa and out to the balcony, thinking the worst. He sighed in relief when he saw Kenpachi come in with the three other former doctores, Azashiro, Kuruyashiki and Kiganjo behind him. At least one-hundred men were with him as well, Ebern and Luders being two of them and some of them were covered in blood.

Ichigo sighed and left the balcony, moving down the steps. He paced over to the indifferent Kenpachi as he laughed around with his friends. Ichigo rose an eyebrow as he arrived at the scene. Ichigo folded his arms and asked "Where were you?" He said "You have left without words?"

Kenpachi laughed "I left with around two-hundred men, we found a little village and enjoyed ourselves!" He laughed "We got ourselves a load of weapons, coin and loot for the whole army! Enjoy!" Kenpachi bellowed.

Ichigo rose an eyebrow "You said you left with two-hundred men"

"Yeah...so?"

"The people behind you do not add up by my count" Ichigo said "Kenpachi...how much men did we lose?" Ichigo asked. Kenpachi scowled and remained quiet, Ichigo growled and was now getting angry. "Kenpachi-"

"One hundred and thirty or so" Kenpachi scowled with his arms folded "But that does not matter! We are winning this war, a few causalities for supplies is alright!"

Ichigo's eyes are wide. "You left, without my permission, to raid a village, without my permission and lost one-hundred and thirty, fucking men because you were what, bored?!" Ichigo demanded "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Ichigo yelled. Kenpachi rose an eyebrow and raised two hands in his defense.

"Calm yourself Ichigo!" Kenpachi said.

"No I won't!" Ichigo defied "You have no right to do that!" Ichigo snapped "Those were my men, my soldiers and my friends! Those could have family to others in our cause and they have perished because you your recklessness!" Ichigo sneered. Kenpachi was quiet, but his face clearly looked annoyed and, much to Ichigo's seething disdain, indifferent. "I swear you this, if you so much as put any more of my men in trouble" Ichigo said loudly, so that everyone would hear "I'll kill you myself!" He vowed.

That shocked Kenpachi.

Nothing much happened. Ichigo and Rukia are going through the honeymoon period and Kenpachi is getting reckless, which will have a plot point sooner or later I think. This will also be the start of Ichigo not taking any shit from his men. So this small chapter is sort of like the catalyst for things to come, so hopefully I'll be able to pull them off well. Also, it also show's Kaien's overly hot-headedness, which will also play a factor later on.

About their hair, Rukia's is still long. But when I try to imagine Ichigo I find it hard. I try to have the rebels give off a very punky, rock thing vibe but when you see Ichigo with his dangai hair, he seems more bishonen than his old punk self. Also I got the shaving idea from a Renly/Loras scene from GoT. Pretty cute romance ways so I couldn't help but not do it, even if it was based after two guys.

Any ways, Bleach chapter.

Ichigo and Rukia are bare-assed, things should happen.

'Tis all.
