A/N
….
Soul Society 1st division HQ- two days after the duel.
"…and that's why we should throw them in jail at the very least" SoiFon finished. G14 without Ichigo and Zaraki debated on Tia's And Ichigo's future.
"I ask for a millionth time for what!" Shinji exclaimed.
"Those two are threat to S.S even his bitch said that he was losing control over his hollow" she spat.
"Apparently she had wrong info he seemed fine to me" Rojuro said.
"Then have any of your mask ever changed so suddenly?" Mayuri asked. The three visored captains remained silent" Thought so, this wild...evolution might cause trouble in future"
"I thinks you're exaggerating Captain Kurotsuchi" Unohana said" I believe Ichigo-san will handle it, he's having good support" she smirked.
"And where is his hollow pet now?" SoiFon asked.
"Tia-san is currently waiting for Ichigo-san to awake" Unohana replied.
"What? She can use it as a chance to escape!" she seethed.
"I doubt it, she hadn't left his side since he was placed there as well as Yoruichi-san" Unohana in slight mocking tone" Besides she's officially his vice-captain now why should she escape?" Soifon gritted her teeth and remained silent.
"But I think we should observe him closely now" Ukitake said" While I believe that he's controlling his hollow it would be wise to keep the hand on pulse" other captain nodded.
"But I have to say that I'm impressed I didn't knew that both of them were so strong" Toshiro said "That Kurohitsugi he casted wasn't normal"
"I noticed that too, deducing form it's power it was closer to 100th level than 90" Byakuya said "Not to mention his proficiently at using Arrancar techniques from what I saw he's more comfortable with sonido than shunpo"
"He's centrality interesting fellow" Kyoraku said but his face saddened" and so lucky he have two gorgeous ladies at his side" he sniffed.
"I doubt it, I heard them muttering something about beating him into another coma when he wakes up…" Unohana sweat dropped." Just like Zaraki"
"They beat him into coma?!" Captains shouted.
"Well yes… he ran to Ichigo as soon As I healed him and demanded a rematch unluckily for him Yoruichi and Tia san were there….and let's say that I had to heal him again" she chuckled." Those two are quite possessive" she smiled. That was the smile that in other era made most brave warriors soil their pants…well in that era worked as well. All other captains paled" The future will be interesting"
"But what would we do if he gets out of control?" Komamura asked." We should at least have some plan to contain him"
"I find Captain's Komamura suggestion valid, if case Commander Kurosaki goes berserk we should be able to stop him without killing him" C.C stated.
" I can prepare powerful sedative to calm him down" Unohana offered.
"I can work on it too" Mayuri said. Sparks started to fly between those two.
"You shouldn't bother, you're such a busy man I believe that I could handle such simple task" Unohna said
"While simple tasks are all you can handle I want that to be done properly" he stated. A perk of being a mad scientist is that you generally lack common sense.
"You seem really talkative today Captain Kurotsuchi" Unohana smiled one of her sweet/creepy smiles. She left the threat hanging. Before the fight broke out Ukitake decided to prevent it.
"Just both do it" Ukitake said in unusually serious tone" We have to be ready for any situation…."
…
4th division HQ, Ichigo's room
Since Ichigo was a Commander he had a privilege of having separate room if he ever was wounded. The room looked like the rest of the building. Wooden floors and white walls with large panoramic windows letting the sun in.
But the atmosphere inside seemed to dull even the bright rays of sun. Ichigo was lying on the bed unconscious. He was still sickly pale but his life thanks to Unohana's work wasn't in danger anymore. He had been unconscious for two days.
Tia and Youruichi had been by his side ever since. They were sitting at the opposite sides of the bed. Tia on right, Yoruichi on left.
These two were now the very definitions of the pain and misery. Their eyes were red and puffy from crying and had large bags form the lack of sleep.
The first hours were the worst. Ichigo lost vast amounts of blood and had multiple wounds some of them lethal. No one was sure how he survived but Unohana suspected that is was due to his hollow powers.
The operations took few hours. All that time both women spent in each other arms crying and trying to comfort each other. Yoruichi was handling it better than Tia. Not because she loved Ichigo less. She was more experienced and knew how to handle pain. Tia on the other hand just rediscovered herself and the man who helped her achieve balance and made her feel like a person again was now lying motionless on the bed. The sight was tearing her heart apart.
"Don't worry Tia he'll be fine" Yoruichi tried to cheer her up" He's been through worse, besides he fought Zaraki before and survived" she added in little strained voice. She disregarded the part that when they fought for the first time the power levels weren't nearly as high." You know that time I could control my feeling much better but now when I look at him…."
" I guess feelings sometimes backfires on you" Tia said" I too wouldn't be worried from him so much at the beginning…but now…" She forced back a sob" Just what did you do to us Ichigo?" Yoruichi chuckled quietly.
" Ha…turning two strong gorgeous ladies into two gorgeous nerve wrecks" they shared a quite laugh. Tia took his right hand and Yoruichi his left. With dismay they noticed that his hands were way too cold. They looked into each other eyes with anxiousness.
Suddenly they felt his hands clenching on theirs. Yoruichi's and Tia's hearts skipped a beat and they turned to Ichigo with smiles building on their faces.
"Yo" Hichigo grinned with blazing yellow and black eyes.
…
Ichigo's mindscape
"Ugggh, I will never fight Kenpachi again" Ichigo had groaned and opened his eyes only to be greeted by familiar sideways town. Or rather a metropolis. The skyscrapers were everywhere and were even higher than when he arrived here for the first time. Ichigo also noticed something new. Small streams of multicolored energy we're traveling from one building to another.
"What the hell is that?" IChigo wondered aloud.
"This is the Kido energy you wield, I have to say that this is pleasant improvement" Zangetsu materialized next to him. They both looked at the colorful streams.
"So what am I doing here? Shouldn't I wake up? I bet Yoruichi and Tia are worried" Ichigo stated. Zangetsu sighed.
"Ichigo while fighting you demanded more power from your hollow…now you're going to pay the price" He said.
As on cue Hichigo appeared. Instead of his usual look he looked now just like when Ichigo was struggling to achieve his final getsuga tensho. Hichigo lifted his horned helmet.
"Yo, kingy it seems you used my power well" he grinned" But did you really think that I would handle it just like that?"
"I kind of hoped it" Ichigo replied rubbing his back sheepishly.
"You're an idiot" Hichigo sweatdropped "But you shouldn't waste time...you know what happens when we're fighting for control" Ichigo's eyes widen" Oh and our lovely slaves are waiting for you to wake up…I will surprise them a…." he couldn't' finish. Ichigo's blade already connected with his.
"If you hurt them…" Ichigo growled.
"Oh just a little" he licked his lips" Besides we still hadn't tasted kitty-cat, have we?" he pulled his helmed down hiding his face.
"Son of a bitch…Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo fired his blue getsuga at his opponent. Hichigo was pushed back by the force. But the used his white getsuga to counter it.
"Is that all you got?" he taunted. "Cero!" he fired white cero at Ichigo.
"Bakudō # 81. Dankū" the barrier deflected the blast. Ichigo dashed at his opponent and started thrusting his sword furiously. Hichigo dodged it with ease and countered with a vertical slash forcing Ichigo to jump back. No sooner Ichigo did that he was hit with Bala. Ichigo crashed into the building creating large hole in it.
"Aren't you going to ask since when I know this?" Hichigo laughed.
"Let me guess since I learned to use it?" Ichigo replied. His hollow started to clap his hands.
"Bravo you learned something!" he mocked/praised him.
"But I don't see you shooting Kido spells…is purely shinigami skills out of your reach.?" Ichigo could swear that he saw his hollow scowl behind his mask. "Good to know"
Ichigo jumped at him releasing another getusga in front of him. Hichigo dodged but Ichigo already anticipated that move.
"Bakudō # 30. Shitotsu Sansen" He created a glowing yellow triangle and shoot it at Hichigo pinning him to the neared building.
"Shit!" his hollow growled trying to break free. Ichigo took a dive and pushed his sword forward for one last thrust."Sucker" Hichigo shoot white cero from between his horns and caught Ichigo in the blast." You really thought that this weakass spell could stop me? HA! You're naïve!"
Ichigo hit the ground, his skin and robes burned from the blast. But his instinct screamed at him to get up. He instantly jumped on his feet and by the hairbreadth avoided having his head cut off.
"Woah! " he swung his sword at Hichigo's midsection. Both fighters jumped back." Let's get serious"
"Ban-kai/Ban-kai" they shouted in unison.
…..
Outside world
"Yo" Tia and Yoruichi froze at the familiar yet foreign tone coming from Ichigo's mouth "Missed me sharky?" he tightened the hold on their hands.
"You…" Tia growled. Yoruichi's head snapped to her.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with Ichigo?" she asked with anxiousness.
"His hollow took control.." Tia stated. Yoruichi's eyes widen. "..are you planning to fight us?" both ladies tensed.
"Tsk not in a way you think" he grinned" I believe that both of you would enjoy our fight" he laughed.
"Damn pervert" Tia spat realizing what he meant.
"Oh come on he's not that bad" Yoruichi stated. Tia looked at her incredulously. "What? at least he's not hostile.
"I knew I had a reason to like you haha" Hichigo smirked" But I do not come here to talk about pleasantries"
"Then what do you want?" Tia asked.
" I'm here to give you a warning" his voice grew serious" After the show we gave, S.S will probably start to worry about Kingy's sanity, and the matter of controlling me"
"Well we clearly see that he's not able to control you" Yoruichi deadpanned.
"Oh he's now desperately fighting for control now hehe but I will let him win this time" he chuckled.
"Why so generous? Form what he had told me you always jumped at the smallest chance of overthrowing him" Tia stated making him laugh louder.
"I may be a ruthless psycho but I'm not a fool" he rolled his eyes" If I took control now S.S would hunt us down and kill us" he sighed" We're still too weak and that's where you two, that pink haired fatass and the black homo come in, you have to make him strong"
" how?" Tia asked
"Force him to train even harder and push him to the very boundaries he has to be stronger" Hichigo stated.
"And wouldn't that work to your disadvantage?" Tia asked. Hichigo laughed and moved his hand from her hand to her cheek caressing it. Tia tried to move but he clenched his hand on her face. He brought her face to him to they were now few inches apart. He looked deeply into her eyes.
Tia swallowed hard. While his stare wasn't as vile and cold as the first time she saw it, it still sent shivers down her spine.' How could two such different men exist in one body?'
"Aww I'm touched by your concern" he stared into her teal orbs"…but I'm now much more stronger than him" he kissed her deeply. Tia eyes widen and she tried to push back but his hold was firm. Hichigo tongue invaded her mouth and savagely took control of it. Tia protested weakly. She could always punch him but she would hurt Ichigo as well.
Hichigo finally broke the kiss. Tia gasped for air and looked at him all flushed.
"I'm really glad I didn't killed you back then…it would be such waste" he turned his eyes to Yoruichi which narrowed her eyes.
"Sorry but my mouth is reserved for the true owner of this body" she declared. His grin widen.
"Glad to hear it" in one swift movement Yoruichi was pulled by the hand he was holding on top of him. He slammed his lips against her pressing her closer with one arm while using his other to roughly grab her firm butt. He squeezed it tightly making her yelp quietly. Like with Tia he pushed his tongue deep inside, dominating her mouth. Yoruichi struggled in his hold but it was in vain. Not to mention the massage he gave to her butt started to turn her on. He broke the kiss." I'll be waiting to taste you my little Kitty" he said in husky voice dripping with lust. Yoruichi felt her body is growing very hot."Ah it seems that Kingy is ready to finish it….till then" Ichigo body limped and his eyes closed again. Yourichi looked at Tia.
"Ichigo must never hear of it" Cat lady chocked still feeling his hand on her butt.
"Agreed"
….
Ichigo's mindscape
Large explosion devoured few building as two warriors clashed. They were both trying to gain the advantage but seemed to be matched. Hichigo was more proficient in using hollow techniques than Ichigo but the latter nullified it with powerful kido.
Both of their sword clashed creating powerful waves of black and white energy. The recoil shoot them back. They managed to regain their footing and immediate jumped at each other. Their swords collided creating sparks. Hichigo started to thrust furiously. Ichigo ducked under it and delivered nasty upper slash. His hollow did a gracious back flip avoiding it. They both stared at each other.
"It's all you got?" Ichigo taunted. "Cause' if so then I will beat you very soon"
" Getting pretty full of yourself kingy!" Hichigo yelled
"I beat you twice already, this time won't be different" Ichigo shouted back. He was about to put his mask on when…
"You really thought that I will let you use my power?" he laughed.
"I can control your power!" Ichigo snapped back.
"No longer, the moment you demanded more power from me you lost the hold of my powers!, you have to fight for them again! HAHAHA" Hichigo lunged himself on Ichigo . He spun around and delivered powerful horizontal slash. Ichigo blocked it but was pushed back by the force. He gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't let his hollow win.
"Getsuga tensho!" he shoot point blank getsuga at his hollow. Hichigo replied with the same move and two waves of energy collided creating large explosion, sending debris everywhere. Ichigo used the dust cloud to get closer to his hollow.
He dashed at Hichigo's back and was about to slash when the latter used sonido and avoided the blow. He appeared behind Ichigo and was about to stab him but the orange headed boy was faster. He spun around and blocked the sword.
"Nice timing Kingy, but it won't save you hehehe" he mocked him. Ichigo raised his left hand to his shoulder right shoulder.
"Hado no 30 Jūgeki Byakurai" beam of red energy went through his hollow shoulder. Hichigo yelled in pain and jumped back." Bring memories eh?"
"Tsk you and your bitchy Kido, what had happened to the rush into Kingy?" he sighed.
" I guess I grew up a bit" Ichigo smirked." Let's finish it" he took a stance with Zangetsu in both his hands. Hichigo mirrored it. They both pushed their reiatus to their limits. Like on silent order they charged at each other.
"Getsuga Tensho/Getsuga Tensho" Their swords clashed. The waves of energy shoot in every direction. They seemed matched but it was only an illusion. In one moment Hichigo's reiatsu sky-rocketed. He started to push Ichigo back. Ichigo was giving his all but his hollow was winning.
'No I can't lose!' Ichigo pushed harder managing to stop his hollow advance. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he gathered all remaining power he had left.
'Still no good enough kingy, but I will let it pass' Hchigo pretended to be overcome with Ichigo's power and let himself be slashed across his chest. He fell to his knees."Tsk you got me again Kingy" Ichigo looked at him in silence." What's the matter not going to gloat?"
" You let me win" he stated shocking his hollow.
"Wha? I don't know what are you talking about kingy" Hichigo said. Ichigo grabbed him by his shirt and lifted him up. Then he removed his helmet and looked into his eyes.
"You humiliated me…I don't know what are you planning but you lost your last chance to take over" Ichigo growled dropping him on the ground" I will get stronger and beat you" he stated and disappeared for his inner world. Hichigo started to laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Zangetsu asked
"Because kingy is not so foolish after all…and he's playing right into my hands hahaha"
…
Outside world
Tia and Yoruichi were waiting impatiently, watching the storm of emotions on Ichigo's face. From anger to determination. It would be almost funny if it was not for his last one…shame. He had an expression like he was just deeply humiliated.
"Kami, what is happening there?" Yoruichi wondered still on top of Ichigo.
"I don't know but if that bastard harmed him…" Tia narrowed her eyes.
"But he said that he would let him win this time…well if it wasn't a lie" she added anxiously. But soon they received their answer. Ichigo groaned and opened his eyes, his normal brown eyes.
First thing he saw was a pair of cat-like yellow eyes staring into his. Then he was crushed into powerful hug."Ichigo!" Yourichi chipped.
Before he could say anything another pair of hand wrapped around him. Tia said nothing, she was just happy that he was alright after all.
So now Ichigo was being hugged by two gorgeous tanned ladies. The situation couldn't be better but…
SLAP
Ichigo's head shoot to the right
SLAP
Ichigo's head shoot to the left
'Well having two girlfriends have some disadvantages' he thought idly. But when he looked on their faces he discovered that having two girlfriend would also meant that he would have to face two angry women.
"You do even know how worried we were!" Tia shouted keeping stubborn tears in check." You almost died you moron!"
"You are really an idiot why the hell you took this to such extent! He already said that he would vote for her!" Yoruichi seethed." We were dying from worry"
"Oh come on Yoruichi last time you took it much better" Ichigo quickly regretted his words when she furrowed her eyebrows.
"It was because then you were just a boy that Urahara asked me to help but now…." She gripped his sheets tightly."…idiot…idiot" she mumbled.
"Ichigo…"Tia attracted his attention"…if you died I would have no reason to live" she said shocking him"I know it will sound selfish…. but please don't do that to me" she looked at him with sadness" I wouldn't survive that" One stubborn tear slide down her cheek." Please…" she whispered.
Ichigo suddenly felt like the biggest asshole in the world. The weight of how much grief he caused to them hit him hard. He hugged both of them.
"I'm sorry" he whispered.
"You think simple apology will suffice?" Tia mumbled to his chest.
"You are banned from fighting Zaraki ever again!" Yoruichi said. Ichigo felt a pang of regret in his heart. He really enjoyed the fight. It was his first fight were he hadn't anything to lose well except for his life. The moment Kenpachi said that he will vote for Tia the fight changed from the usual aka rescue one to fight purely for both warriors enjoyment.
While reluctant to admit it Ichigo found himself craving for a re-match. He wanted to beat the battle thirsty Captain. A draw wasn't satisfying him at all . But when he looked at the two women in his arms…
He felt a lump in his throat. He knew that another duel would probably end in similar way and he would be gravely injured again causing them more pain and yet he wanted it. He was torn.
"Ichigo swear that you won't fight him unless it's absolutely necessary" Tia said. Ichigo was about to speak but his voice was stuck in his throat.
'what are you going to give your freedom away, Kingy?' his hollow whispered' You are really going to allow them to put leash on you?'
"Ichigo?..."Yoruichi asked with worry seeing the conflict on his face. Tia bit her lip. She could see that he really didn't wanted to give her his word.
'Do I have the right to demand such thing?...but I don't want to see him hurt' she looked into his eyes.
Ichigo now was looking at the two loves of his life looking straight into his eyes with growing hurt on their faces. With each passing second their expression grew more desperate.
"I…" Ichigo have made final decision"…Swear" the look of relief on their faces was almost comical.
"I should slap you again for keeping me in suspense" Tia growled but the happy look on her face lessened the threat.
"What took you so long? Are you really so into fighting Zaraki…" Yoruichi grinned mischievously" or into Zaraki himself? " Ichigo looked at her mortified while Tia roared with laughter.
"Arg! That's disgusting!" Ichigo screamed at top of his lung. Two ladies were now laughing at him. Soon smile appeared on his face and he started to laugh too.
And that was how Unohana saw them. The trio were laughing uncontrollably with tears literally jumping form their eyes. She cracked a small smile.
"Ehm…" she coughed attracting their attention." It seems you're having a good time"
"You bet, making fun of berry-chan it the best" Yoruichi giggled.
"Ehhh, I can't remember when I laughed so hard" Tia wiped her tear.
"Are you feeling alright Ichigo-san?" she asked.
"Yes, I feel fine Unohana-san, I think I'm good to go" he said.
"Of course we will release you tomorrow morning" she replied. Ichigo learning from previous experiences didn't complained." Yoruichi-san, Tia-san I believe you can now go to wash yourself and catch some sleep, since you've been sitting here for two days." She stated.
"I was out for two days?" Ichigo chocked." And you two have been sitting here ever since?" by taking closer look he saw the barks bags under their eyes. Again he felt horrible. His face fell depressed.
Tia and Yoruichi shoot Unohana dirty look. The latter had a decently to blush slightly.
" I think Ichigo-san needs to rest now" she stated." You can collect him tomorrow." Ichigo's girlfriends gave him quick peck on each cheek and left the room with Unohana leaving him alone.
Ichigo waited patiently for their reiatsu signature to disappear. He stood up from the bed and left the room. He walked
Through the corridors and finally found the room he wanted. He opened the doors and saw the man he was looking for sitting on the veranda at the exit to the garden drinking sake.
"Hey Zaraki" he greeted his fellow captain.
"Ichigo, it's great to see you" he started to reach for his sword.
"wait! I didn't come here to fight" Ichigo sat next to Zaraki enjoying the sun. Zaraki handed him spare cup and poured some sake. They both drank."Huaa, that's some strong stuff, how did you get it?"
"I asked Ikkaku to bring it here" Zarakin grinned" Now tell me what the hell happened to you during our fight?"
"If you're asking about my mask I guess that it kind of evolved, giving me access to more hollow powers" Ichigo stated. "While we're at unexpected what the hell happened to you? I don't remember you being so strong…why hadn't you fought me seriously then?" he asked.
Zaraki closed his eyes thinking on the answer.
"And where would be fun in that? If I bet you then I wouldn't get badass fight now, besides you fought well for a rookie so I decided to cut you some slack"
"Geez thanks, I never knew that you were such considerate soul, pour some more" Ichigo asked.
"So when we will have our re-match?" Zaraki asked. Ichigo's face fell.
"Not in the nearest future" Ichigo sighed and sipped his alcohol " I've got a ban on fighting you"
"HAHAHAHA…that's gold! You're so whipped" Zaraki roared with laughter. Ichigo scowled at him.
"it's so funny that I forgot to laugh" Ichigo spat.
"Don't tell me you actually will listen to them" he saw Ichigo's expression" I can't believe that….mind telling me why?"
" Because I value them more then battles" Ichigo said softly " I want their happiness more than anything even more that totally awesome duel" he grinned.
"Tsk, pussy" Zaraki said.
"Have you ever been in love?" Ichigo suddenly asked. Zaraki pondered on this question.
"No" he replied.
"Then you won't understand" Ichigo chuckled." Sometimes one plea or even slight pout can make you carve in" he drank his cup" It's really nice feeling"
"What the fuck is wrong with you? You start babbling all that emotional crap" Zaraki shoot back" grow a pair!"
"You say that admitting that you love someone makes you weak?" Ichigo asked receiving nod from Zaraki" Then Yachiru doesn't mean anything to you?" Zaraki froze." Knew it, you are just too scared to admit it" Zaraki glared at him.
"I'm not scared of anything" he replied
"Then say that you care about her" Ichigo smirked.
"Screw you" Zaraki turned his head. Ichigo grinned at his minor victory.
"Pour some more" he gave him his cup.
"You finally say something with sense, after all I have five more bottles…"
…..
4th division baths
Unohana showed them the way to the bath or rather division's hot-springs. The place was divided into men's and women's section separated by high wooden wall. The pool was surrounded by large stones so the whole place appeared natural. Tia and Yoruichi left their clothes in the locker-room and walked to the hot-water enjoying the warmth. The hot water was washing all the tension form the last days off.
Tia sighed in pleasure feeling her tense body loosening. She turned to Yoruichi and saw that her face was in deep thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked.
"Just trying to figure out what Ichigo's hollow is scheming" she replied." Why would he want for Ichigo to be stronger?"
" rather not form pure arrogance, while he is a wild psycho he is able to think rationally…I think" Tia stated." There must be some part we're missing…"
"What would he gain if Ichigo gets stronger?" Yoruichi wondered.
"Maybe we should ask Ichigo about his fight? With details I mean" she said.
"Ok we will do it first thing in the morning…now let's change subject to something more interesting, how was it?" Yoruichi grinned.
"Was what?" Tia replied not understanding.
" You know…your little adventure" she told her. Tia blushed when she realized what she was asking.
"It was…fine I guess" she muttered embarrassed.
"Well that was vague give me some details!" Yoruichi exclaimed. Tia looked around nervously. The place was deserted at that hour but you could never be caution enough. She moved closer and started, whispering to Yoruichi's ear.
"I see….Mhhh…. that's a good boy…awww that's soo sweet…" Yoruichi licked her lips" …oh really…damn you're making me hot"
"He's really great" Tia giggled" I really can't believe that it just happened three days ago"
"Well technically it happened yesterday by human time, here time goes seven times faster so one day equal a week here" Yoruichi said.
" Oh I see…but back to the topic I never thought that it would fell so great…" she fell silent" well it surprised me much" Yoruichi hear the short pause. She had found Tia's hand and squeezed it gently.
"We can speak about it if you want" she offered. Tia considered the offer. She never spoke about it to other female. Karin and Yuzu were too young to be accounted for. Maybe the purple haired woman could help her out a little.
" I don't know where to start…my life was…complicated." Tia muttered.
"Hmm it would be best to start from the beginning" Yoruchi said.
"Well I was born in Honolulu in Hawaii in 1908…." And she began her tale. She told her everything from her childhood to the fight with her inner self. At few points Yoruichi couldn't hold her tears. When she finished Yoruichi hugged her tightly. Tia blushed felling Yoruichi's naked body pressing against hers.
"Tia…I really don't know what to say" she chocked " I can't even imagine it"
"Geez that made me feel better" Tia said dryly. Yoruichi chuckled.
"I mean that you are really strong willed person, for you to endure that much and not break, I have you say that I admire you" Yoruichi said. Tia blushed at the compliment.
"I'm not that strong….if Ichigo wasn't there for me when I remembered, I wouldn't have make it" she smiled dreamily" I owe him great debt" Yoruichi looked at the water ashamed. She wasn't aware how much Tia suffered in her life. She had her share of pain too but it was nothing compared to hers. Yoruichi knew that Tia deserved happiness more than anyone else.
'And yet I'm taking a part of her happiness' Yoruichi bit her lip" Sorry" Tia looked at her surprised.
"For?" she asked
"For taking Ichigo's from you" Yoruichi replied. " I guess I was too selfish" Tia remained silent looking at her." I know that that time I put a pressure on you…and used Ichigo's kindness you my purposes to made you agree to it…you must have felt horrible"
"I did" Tia said softly. Yoruichi flinched slightly" I felt like I wasn't good enough, like he would just got bored with me…but luckily that was not the case…" Tis smiled"…why were you so desperate to be his girlfriend? Well I can guess few reasons but tell the main one"
"I guess to fully understand it you would have to know my story" Yoruichi said and told her story. Her life was pretty much filled with luxury and love till the fateful night 110 years ago. She told her everything about her exile and her relationship with her brother.
"Can I ask a personal question?" Tia asked
"Sure" she replied
"Weren't you in love with Urahara?" Tia looked at her with curiosity.
"I guess that in one point we were but…our feelings eventually faded away, we parted on good terms" she told her
"Why?" Tia couldn't stop herself.
"Kisuke….he just loved his little innovations and toys more than me" she smiled sadly" and I guess that this is first reason that drew me to him…I was horribly lonely at the times, I had no one to open mouth to, and then after some time Kisuke called me….heh first time in few years and even then it was mostly business" Yoruichi chuckled but Tia could her old hurt behind her cheerful expression" and then it was how I've met Ichi-chan, he was loud, obnoxious , immature brat who had little to no common sense…but he was also fiercely loyal to his friends ,honest and courageous, not to mention he was powerful and quick-learner, he achieve ban-kai in three days" Tia's eyes widen in surprise" I know he really didn't looked so capable...and he was really funny to tease"
"I heard that you were first woman he saw naked" Tia smirked" You know that you almost gave him a heart attack?"
"Yeah it was so funny, anyways my respect for him grew when he defeated Zaraki and Byakuya I couldn't believe that a fifteen years old brat with two-months long shinigami powers did that…and I guess shortly after I was started to get attracted to him" she played with her fingers" Even when the times were busy he found time to drop by and ask how I feel or just to talk, it really meant much for me, I have to admit that I felt jealous for Inoue when he went for her to HM, sometimes I wondered if I should get captured so he would rescue me" she giggled. But soon her face saddened." Tia I know it's little too late for that but…if you want I can…break up with Ichigo" Tia looked at her shocked.
"What?" she asked.
"When I heard your story…I guess I realized that I just wallowed in self-pity and never really thought that others could do worse than me" she sighed" if anyone deserve him it's you and only you"
Tia was speechless .Now she had a chance for her to get Ichigo for herself only. With one word she could end this love triangle.
'What should I do?...I guess I could demand it but it just wouldn't feel right…' Tia bit her lip deep in thoughts.
'Hmmm but you know having Ichi-chan for ourselves is really tempting…" Tiburon said"…but…"
"Well I have grow to like the Kitty, she was always honest with us and helped us on numerous occasions, like now.." Ningyo said
'Well it would be more depression to sit alone with unconscious Ichigo, she even tried to cheer me up..' Tia looked at Yoruichi firmly.
Teal into yellow
"At the very beginning I would jump for such offer…" Tia started" But you kind off grew on me…."she smirked" You certainly have some uses" Yoruichi's mouth hung agape.
"Uses?" she smirked mischievously. Yoruichi crept closer pushing her body against Tia's" Only some?" she purred. Tia blushed madly. "Aww you blush so cutely, turn around I will give you massage" Tia did as instructed and Yoruichi started her magic.
Her hands started with Tia's arms gently loosening her tense tendons. Yoruichi's hands trailed over Tia's smooth skin.
'So soft…' Yoruichi wondered. Gently massaging the arrancar lady. A quiet moan escaped Tia's lips when her hands moved to the remnants of her hollow mask on her back. As on cue Yoruichi started to tough it gently in various places. To her surprise she found Tia's hollow mask was smooth and warm. And it wasn't thanks to the water.
"Yoruichi…stop…it's sensitive.." Tia moaned. She couldn't see the smirk on cat lady's face. Yoruichi doubled her efforts. Now she was petting massaging her hollow mask.
Tia started to wriggle, with moans escaping her lips. Yoruichi's hands were simply magical. All the tension disappeared replaced by pleasurable relax. She yelped quietly when she felt something warm and wet going down her spine.
"Y-Yoruichi we can't do it here" Tia shuttered embarrassed. Yoruichi hugged her from behind pressing her naked body to her. Her hand moved to Tia's belly and started to wander in circular motion. "Someone might see"
"Do what? I'm just massaging you…ohhh someone have a dirty mind, have my massage turned you on?" she giggled.
"I-I don't have dirty mind!" Tia yelped when Yoruichi's hand came dangerously close to her breasts.
"Really? I beg to differ" Yoruichi rested her head on her shoulder breathing into her ear.
Tia felt her face heat up even more. She could feel the other woman assets pressed to her back. Despite herself she enjoyed the closure. She felt rather comfortable in that position
"You have to teach me how to do it" Tia said.
"Finally someone will return the favor to me " Yoruichi giggled. The duo continued the bath for some time. At some point they decided to get out and went to sleep since neither of them had closed eye in last 48 h.
….
Next morning
Yoruichi woke up, refreshed and full of energy. She stretched feeling her joints pop back to their right places. She looked around the room that Unohana gave them. It was really simple. Just two beds and small toilet. Yoruichi looked at her friend/future lover. Tia was still sleeping soundly hugging pillow like a giant teddy brear. Yoruichi chuckled and started to shake her gently.
"Wakey Wakey Ti-chan it's morning already" Tia turned to the other side.
"Five more...minutes…Ichigo" she muttered making Yoruichi chuckle more.
" Get up Tia we have to collect berry-chan and take you to your new division" Yoruichi stated. Tia got up with a groan.
"Uhhh…yeah give me five minutes" Tia said and walked to the toilet and washed her face. Both ladies changed to their attire. Yoruichi to her orange vest and black skin tight spandex suit and Tia to her new shinigami robes. They walked to Ichigo's room only to find it empty.
"Where did he go?" Tia wondered. Yoruichi concentrated and located his spiritual pressure. She noticed that it was very dim.
"He's nearby, let's go" they walked few meters and opened the doors to the room. Yoruichi went first.
"Ichigo what are you doing here….BUHAHAHAHAH!" she burst out laughing when she was the sight.
"Hey what's so f…HAHAHAHAHA!" Tia followed the suit. Both ladies grabbed their sides trying to contain the laughter. Tears were literally jumping out of their eyes.
Because they were now looking and completely wasted Ichigo and Zaraki surrounded by six large empty bottles of sake. But that wasn't the best part. Both men were lying on the floor...hugging. Zaraki was lying on his back with one arm wrapped around Ichigo. While the latter's head was resting on Zarakis' chest with both arms around him. They could see small trail of drool coming out of Ichigo's mouth
"Kami hahaha who's hah got a hahah camera!" Tia roared with laughter.
"First class black..hahah…blackmail material HA!" Yoruichi's grabbed her stomach" Damn haha my stomach hurts hahah"
Ichigo started to wake up. He had a head-spitting head ache and his mouth resembled desert and there was that annoying sound resembling laugher.
'Why they can't just shut up?' he cracked his eyes opened and turned his head to the source of the sound. He saw his girlfriends laughing their asses off." Hey what so funny?" he slurred.
"Turn haha your head hahah" Tia chocked. Ichigo did as instructed. And he saw a chest. Broad, large, hairy and definitely manly chest. He looked up in terror and saw soundly sleeping Zaraki. He also felt strong arm around his waist…..
"KYAAAAAAAA!" Ichigo let a girlish scream jumping on his feet "KYAAAAA!" he started to tremble disgusted" OHH FUCK MY HEAD!" the sudden movement after a night of drinking caused him severe pain" EWWW! God fucking damn it! I'm going to puke!" he ran to the garden and soon the sound of stomach empting could be heard. His actions amused both ladies even more. Now they were literally rolling on the ground with laugher.
Ichigo came back pale as death. He looked at Zaraki and started to shiver.
'They not going to let me live through this' fake anime tears slide down his cheeks "I'm going to dress up and we will go to my HQ' he said stiffly. Only response was hysteric laugher.
He walked back to his room and dressed in his shinigami robes and took Zangetsu.
Tia and Yoruichi were waiting in front of his room. They started to snicker when they saw him.
"Not a word" he growled. Making them snicker more. To his agony, his ladies started to talk about homosexuals and how it's nothing wrong with it. Ichigo was ashamed and embarrassed to no ends. He sighed in relief when he finally saw familiar black walls. Yoruichi and Tia's conversation stopped abruptly when Tia saw the majestic building.
"Wow" she whispered.
"Welcome to Kido Corps HQ, Tia" IChigo said with smirk.

Guest 6- yeah can't wait to see what his ban-kai looks like in manga
Austin4- because last time he fought Ichigo to standstill and in her opinion that would be enough to declare Ichigo as the looser and thus kill Tia
Digitize27x 14- for starters thanks for all your reviews. Now I will answer your questions. There was no mention that he can't perform Kido, it's just he never learned it and just used his basic powers so I decided to fill that hole. And they appointed him because they wanted to have control control his actions. As for nose I meant it just that he sniffed her through his mask. For him going to school well he's still a living human and have friends there it's not like he's going to abandon his life in HW for SS. As for him being delinquent well he fights often and beat people not to mention he is constantly skipping classes. As for his division, in later chapters it will be explained why he met them so lately. Simply because that there were no Kido corps. They were just reformed. As for his heritage is still in the dark about it. Also thanks for all your pointers. And also know that I loved your story ,, Yellow and Red makes" totally badass I will soon start reading your other one ,,Small Changes" so except reviews from me soon.

Mickkeee- thanks
JakMartheDarkWarrior- he only have instant regeneration in his full hollow mode, his mask is now something between his normal mode and full hollow mode. It gives his access to more power but not all. As for lack of getsugas I wanted to show the evolution of his fighting style, in cannon he was to dependent on them.
