A/N: This chapter covers the Kasumioji arc briefly. Also while I know quite a few may not like it, I got quite a few PM's asking for a lemon... so you know, I just kinda happened to write one? C'mon if you have two hollows in your head fucking like rabbits you have to be at least SLIGHTLY effected. Besides we knew this would happen sooner or later, plus it'll help with certain plot points.

Plz don't hates me...

Also this chapter fought me you won't even believe, mainly because of the lemon. Sorry for the wait.

Chapter 28: Kasumioji - Alliance ARC

I sighed as we entered the school gate, slightly later than usual because of our... activities. Due to us being later than usual we came in at the same time as Ishida, who gave us a curt but tired nod.

''How's your training with your father going, Ishida?'' Asami questions as we walked.

''Not bad'' The teen sighed, wincing a moment later ''...but I underestimated his aim''.

She gave me a smirk ''Both of you have a bad habit of underestimating your fathers, funny considering you're cousins''.

I scoffed and scowled lightly, while Ishida did the same but our expressions held no anger. We passed through the hallways making idle chatter and ignoring the other school members whispering about us, we eventually make it to the classroom and find our seats, opening up the Kido channel to him too.

'How far have you gotten?' Asami questioned the teen again.

'I'm working on beating the manifestation, though I keep getting distracted because of his appearance' Ishida responded.

'Wait' I spoke 'How does a normal Quincy learn Halcyon Vollstandig? You just mentioned a manifestation, but you've also said in the past that your powers aren't sentient like a Zanpakuto...'.

'I'll explain' Asami said 'You already know the requirement for achieving the second release, for a Quincy-Shinigami hybrid its relatively easier - since you just have to defeat the manifestation of your Quincy powers in the real world. But for a regular Quincy it is much harder, since they have to have extreme willpower to create the manifestation from sheer willpower and skill, they essentially have to take on the aspects of a Shinigami'.

'Which I wasn't too happy with at the start' Ishida interjected flatly.

Asami nodded idly 'Not only that, but Halcyon Vollstandig was created by me, in other words it was created by a Quincy-Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid, not a regular Quincy. It is possible for a non-hybrid to achieve the second release, but it is easier if they are a hybrid or at least partly a hybrid'.

'But I thought Ishida was 'a regular Quincy', right?'.

'I was' Ishida said in a slightly grumpy tone.

'One of the requirements for Halcyon Vollstandig that I didn't tell you, mainly because it was pointless to do so, is that it requires Hollow Reiryoku to be at the users disposal' Asami continued 'Pure-blooded Quincy have zero anti-bodies against such Reiryoku, and as such it is fatal if even a tiny bit gets into their system. However for mixed blood Quincy they have SOME anti-bodies, meaning that their souls won't go through soul suicide but just become ill. Ishida is a mixed Quincy, and as such when his father injected Hollow Reiryoku into him, he went into a semi-coma for a few days where his soul underwent a form of Hollowification'.

'Since Hollows and Shinigami have somewhat similar Reiryoku it means his powers manifested into sentient beings, residing within his inner world'' She continued 'Now he must manifest his spirit in the real world and defeat it, then he will gain access to the second Quincy release'.

'I've been meaning to ask you, does Ryuken possess Halcyon Vollstandig? He's a true blood Quincy'.

The corners of Asami's lips twitched up 'He does, though how and why is not for me to tell'.

Ishida sighed, clearly dissatisfied that he couldn't learn the reason how his father could learn the technique and why. I smiled faintly, giving an idle greeting to Inoue as she walked in with Matsumoto and Rukia.


As we sat up on the rooftop making idle chatter and eating our lunches, I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding almost. Ishida was being pestered by Rukia about a medicine for Ukitake that could cure his illness, while the rest of the advanced team listened in. Keigo was nowhere to be found and Mizuiro was still off with a chest infection, so only spiritually aware people were on the roof.

So when I felt a slight increase in Reishi near the other side of town and Asami bristle slightly, it couldn't be good.

''Ichigo'' She said, pulling out a Gikongan and popping it into her mouth. I pull out my own modified Gikongan and eject myself from my body, the both of us doing so attracting attention from the group.

''We'll be back in a minute or two'' I say and without further fanfare both of us took off in a blur of silent Shunpo/Sonido/Hirenkyaku combo. In a single step we covered almost a tenth of Karakura, probably more if we had our limiters off.

''What's the issue?'' I yelled over the wind blast at the speed we were moving.

''The Kasumioji, they're early''.

Asami slowed down and I followed her to a rooftop, carefully keeping my Reiatsu suppressed. I saw two guys and a young girl down there, one was tall, broad and bald while the other was slim, dark haired and had a small shaved beard. The girl had long, straight blonde hair, bright green eyes and wore a pink-based royal outfit.

''Where are they, Enryu?'' The dark haired teen said.

The large man shrugged, making the dark haired man sigh before pulling out an all-too familiar white coin ''Perhaps we could draw them out''.

Before I could blink the man crushed the bait and turned to leave, though he was interrupted when Asami raised a palm at him ''Rikujokoro!''.

Two sets of Rikujokoro slammed into the duo's midsections, while a wordless Hainawa gently wrapped around the girl. I land in front of the trio just as the Garganta open in the skies above, drawing all attention to Asami as she lightly flared a small part of her Reiatsu. Thankfully the bait seemed to be a weak version, as it only brought in around thirty hollows, easy for Asami to dispatch.

Asami drew not only her whole sheathe from her Obi sash, the Zanpakuto inside being Megami I believe. She held the sheathe horizontally in front of her, completely ignoring the panicked cries of her captured. She held up the sheath with her left hand while her right hand held onto the handle of the blade still in the sheath. Realising what she was doing, I Shunpo in front of the blonde girl and block her view, the Hainawa preventing her from moving. In a single fluid motion she drew her blade out of the sheath with blinding speed, making a flash of silver white consume my vision for all but a half second.

''Hitotsume: Tepukatto''. (Tran: The First; Ribbon Cut).

The light vanished just in time for me to see all thirty hollows literally get cut to ribbons by an invisible force, the ribbons of flesh then turning into Reishi. Asami had her arms diagonally backwards with her blade pointing out, no blood dripping off it. In a fluid motion long since practiced she sheathed her Zanpakuto and reattached her sheath into her Obi before turning back to her prisoners, who had paled slightly.

''While it was a low-level hollow bait, why did you use it?'' She said icily ''If we weren't around, would you have just fled?''.

''We-''.

''Answer truthfully'' She interrupted with narrowed eyes, an air of hostility about her.

The dark haired man hung his head ''Hai...''.

''I know of your purpose here, but using hollow bait that could've endangered innocents was a bad move'' She continued ''If even one innocent had died because of those hollows, I think you'd find the exact opposite of help - i.e. death''.

''A-Apologies'' The dark haired man slumped ''However we couldn't detect your Reiatsu-''.

''Then you're obviously not very good at it'' Asami said and pointed to the building behind us ''We were standing on that building a few moments before you crushed the bait''.

The man hung his head in shame and after a few moments, Asami sighed and dismissed the Bakudo ''You have a problem with Kumoi, correct?''.

''Hai'' The man said, looking confused ''How...?''.

''I think you'll find that most of the Seireitei has bugs planted all over it'' She said in a slightly smug tone ''But anyway, Kumoi will be assassinated by nightfall, his own assassins will be dead themselves after Bambietta is done with them, so for now just stay in the house you've bought until tomorrow morning, then Rurichiyo may take the throne''.

With no other words, Asami disappeared in a blur with me obediently following. We landed on the roof just in time to see everyone begin packing up, both of us silently blurred onto the rooftop and gave our body/Gigai and ejecting the Gikongan. Nobody batted an eye and just continued down the stairs and both of us followed a moment later, Ishida slowing down a step to talk to us.

''The Kasumioji?'' He asked and Asami nodded, making him also nod in acceptance before smirking at us ''Was it necessary for both of you to go? The two of you are like a married couple - bound by the hip''.

Asami smirked back at him and I could practically hear the reply before she spoke ''Well we aren't married at the moment''.

Let it never be said that Ishida was an idiot, judging by how his eyes widened and his jaw went slack as he looked between the both of us. I snickered at my cousins expression as we slowed down more, allowing the rest of the group to reach the classroom while we walked down the near empty hall.

''How long?'' He asked with polite curiosity.

I shrugged ''About... four to five days? Maybe a month if you count the time we spent healing in Jikan Yari''.

''Huh'' He said ''Would you prefer me to keep this a secret or does it not matter?''.

I shared a quick look with Asami before we both shrugged, Asami saying ''Doesn't matter if you tell anyone or not, we don't mind''.


[LEMON START]

''I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be hectic'' I muttered as I put on a spare shirt and slip into bed, Asami snaking in with me in a black shirt and white shorts.

''Probably'' She smiled slyly and kissed my jaw ''Since we've got some peace, wanna continue from this morning?''.

I growled lightly and wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me, smashing my lips against hers. Her hands travelled under my shirt and roamed over my chest idly. My own free hand wandered down to the hem of her shirt and snuck my hand up her stomach, my fingers slowly dragging along her skin teasingly making her moan into the kiss. My hands stopped at her bra, wordlessly questioning.

She broke off from the kiss and gave a hazy smile, moving with swift grace and sliding on top of me. She gave me a lopsided grin as she reached down and lifted her black shirt up and over her head, making her brown hair ruffle slightly.

She smiled slyly, her mild unease well hidden ''Like what you see?''.

''Yeah'' I leaned up, meeting her lips in a heated kiss ''Should we even be doing this?''.

''If you don't then we don't have to'' She smiled slyly.

''I never said that'' I growled playfully ''I just don't wanna force you into it''.

She broke the kiss and smiled ''Your not forcing me, feel better?''.

I chuckle, kissing her again ''Heh''.

My hands travelled behind her, fingers working their way to unclip the bra. After several seconds a soft 'click' was heard before the bra slid slightly down below her ample chest, I place one hand on her back with the other trails down her spine, making her shiver and blush. I break off from the kiss and leave a trail of butterfly kisses down to her chest, the hand trailing down her back stopping and moving to her left breast, giving it a playful squeeze. She moaned and clearly tried her best to repress it, judging by her biting her lip shut.

Smirking slightly I take her other breast in my mouth, playfully biting it making Asami gasp at the sudden action. She put a hand on the back of my head and held me to her chest, I raised my gaze to hers and found she was blushing heavily and avoiding my gaze. Smiling at her unusual timid nature I roll her nipple between my teeth gently, making her groan delightfully.

I felt my crotch harden when she bucked her hips, both playfully and lustily. I let out a low groan and Asami smiled slyly, repeating the action and with all the deftness of a cat burglar slid my shirt over my head, depositing it somewhere on the floor off to the side. Nimble fingers travelled over my chest as the sly smile refused to fall from her face, a free hand wandering down to my boxers and rubbing softly.

''Ne, wanna go further?'' She whispered heatedly, making me raise an eyebrow at the 'Ne' part - she never says that.

Smiling lightly I reply ''Are you sure?''.

She rolled her eyes, an amused smirk on her flushed face ''Yeah, I'm sure, are you?''.

Giving a nod, she pushed me back onto the bed with one hand while the other slyly slid my boxers down to my knees, making an embarrassed flush reach my cheeks as my erection was freed. Asami gave a half-sly, half-comforting smile as she tucked her thumb into the waistband of her shorts and slid them down her thighs, showing a pair of plain black panties that was also pulled down with the shorts. I smiled at Asami's own embarrassed face, seems like I wasn't the only one who was new to this.

''You ready?'' She smiled as she positioned herself above me.

I chuckled ''I should be asking you that''.

She smiled ''I'm sure''.

With no other words she eased herself onto me, hissing in pain as her barrier broke. A small trick of blood slid out from where we were joined as her jaw remained clenched for a half a minute before she bit her lip and nodded, a crooked smile coming to her face. With a gently slow thrust I buck my hips up, making her body jolt and a moan release from her lips before she closed her mouth, a dark blush coming over her face.

Grinning at her timidness I place my hands on her hips and repeat the action, gradually easing her to the action. She groaned and started herself as well, slowly bobbing up and down in sync with my own thrusts. She smiled softly and leaned down and gave a lusty kiss, which I returned with a sly grin. We broke apart from the kiss and she blinked at my sly grin, only for her to let out a surprised and undignified 'eep!' as I flipped us over, with me above her on my knees and her lying on her back, all while still remaining connected.

I lean in close and gave her another kiss, only rougher and more passionate ''I'm on top now''.

She pouted cutely ''Who knew you were so dominative?''.

I don't reply, instead increasing the pace of my thrusts while watching for any signs of discomfort. Judging from her moans however I quickly forego that train of thought, momentarily losing myself in the feeling her tight warm walls. Her walls abruptly tightened making me grunt as pleasure coursed through me, Asami's teasing chuckle echoing throughout the room. In a swift movement she flipped us over again, with her now on top with a cocky grin.

''And you called me dominative'' I smirked and she chuckled, bucking her hips roughly making me groan. She began bouncing up and down heatedly, as if I was a spring board. I bucked my hips in sync with her, making her let out a half-squeak half-pleasurable moan. Bucking my hips again I hit the same spot I did before and she let out the same embarrassing noise, clearly enjoying that spot.

''Ichi- ah! I'm nearly'' She was cut off again as I hit the spot again, but the message was carried across.

''Me too'' I grunt, bucking my hips more fiercely. I pull almost all the way out before slamming all the way in, Asami crashing her lips against mine as we seal what we started. Our releases mix and I pull out, Asami laying on my chest exhausted but with a smile.

'I just... finished... inside her, doesn't that mean...?'.

Before I could speak the words on my mind she smiled softly ''Don't worry, its my safe day''.

I blinked and mutter ''Safe day?''.

''I guess they don't teach much in sex education nowadays'' She smirked ''In short; I won't get pregnant, since you seemed concerned about that''.

I smiled wrapping an arm around her and holding her to me ''I love you''.

She blushed and returned the smile ''And I love you too, strawberry''.


Tsuki no Megami manifested besides the bedside where Ichigo and Asami slept in the nude, the blanket lazily pulled over their exhausted frames. The graceful woman smiled softly and began picking up their discarded clothes and general mess, like a mother would do.

Shiro and Kuro were practically howling with excited cheers for their wielder, Zangetsu felt a sense of pride in his wielder while Denki stared at them all in innocent confusion, and all her questions were subsequently deflected. Sokyoku sat in the background, her flaming body blowing gracefully in the gentle breeze as she silently reflected on her existence, and prayed for her current wielders existence.


We walked onto the school grounds at our usual time, if not slightly later because of their late night escapade. Rumours must've gotten out because almost everyone whispered whenever we passed by, which stopped being a coincidence by the third time. Obvious neither of us were bothered by it, we simple walked to class and sat down, waiting for class to start. Asami quickly went through with the same mental Kido, encase something needed to be discussed away from prying ears.

''You know Inoue will be upset that we're dating, right?'' Asami whispered to me, her hand resting just below her nose to hide the mouth movement.

''Yeah'' I reply with a slightly sombre tone ''I probably should've told her I never felt the same back when it became obvious, but I didn't wanna break her heart''.

Asami hummed non-committedly, pulling out her phone and tapping with all the speed and grace of an assassin ''We'll probably have to go knock some sense into Amagai after school, make him see Genryusai didn't kill his father''.

I hummed in acknowledgement and any further conversation on the spirit world halted when the rest of the class began filing in, many of the non spiritually aware sending both of us curious glances while the advanced team looked confused as to why we were getting the stares.

I smirked behind my hand, I wonder what their reaction to us dating would be?


With a soft sound of wood hitting wood, the Senkaimon closed behind us as we landed on the roof of the first division. The fires from the former assassins lair burning in the distance, apparently Bambietta was successful in killing the men and women who dared to try and kill a child.

''There's Amagai'' Asami whispered as the man Shunpo'ed towards us, before entering through the open office below us. We stood there for nearly a minute before in an explosion of flames, Ryujin Jakka and Raika were released. Both of us quickly Shunpo'ed out of the way as the roof we once stood upon was burned to ash, Asami putting up a wordless Kyakko to conceal both of us.

''You fight him, show the difference in strength between you two and either make him submit or injure him enough to stay a month in the fourth'' Asami asked/ordered and I nod. We waited until the man released the Bakkoto and neutralised Yamamoto's powers before I broke the nearly invisible barrier with a fist, making a shattering sound. Both fighters paused and turned their gazes up to me, my now-favourite trench coat billowing in the gentle breeze.

''Ichigo Kurosaki'' Yamamoto rumbled, but had a tint of curiosity in his tone.

In a display of speed I appear in front of Amagai, with the seal my power was limited to slightly stronger than a captain, so I'd have to play it semi-carefully.

''Amagai-san'' I greet with a nod ''Can I ask you stand down?''.

''No'' He said crisply ''He must pay for killing my father''.

''He didn't'' I reply sharply, hoping to end this before it started.

''Lies!'' Amagai roared and cleared the distance between us, swinging his hook-tipped sword at me. I duck under it, using the combined effects of all three high-speed movement to appear in a blur inside his guard, my fist crashed into his abdomen and sent him rocketing into the wall behind him.

I straightened up ''Don't make me fight you, Amagai-san''.

Amagai walked out of the smoke cloud, a scowl on his face ''If you do not let me pass, then it is unavoidable''.

''Very well'' I sighed and shook my head in faux pity.

It did the job and he bristled ''Bankai!''.

In an explosion of fiery Reiatsu his blade shifted, becoming larger and making the hook blade a crimson red. A hollowed seashell looking object concealed his hand, likely being used a shield. He dismissed the flames with a wave of the green-bladed Bakkoto, his face deadly serious.

''Do you believe you can beat me?'' I ask calmly, further antagonising him.

In a blur he appeared in front of me and in a flash I drew my blade, clashing against his and my eyes widened ever so slightly by the fact the Bakkoto was draining/sealing my Shinigami powers, similar to Aizen's Zanpakuto/Bakkoto hybrid. I narrowed my eyes and twisted out of the way of his Zanpakuto, landing a roundhouse kick to his side and sending him flying into the walls.

He got out in a flash and I appeared in front of him, two fingers on his chest ''Hado #63: Raikoho''.

His eyes widened before he was consumed by the explosion, blinding me from him. I blurred back and waited, waited and waited for almost two minutes before the smoke cleared, revealing Amagai with a badly burnt torso, unconscious.

''Our job is done'' Asami said as she appeared in a silent blur beside me and I grunt. Completely ignoring the commander Asami snapped her fingers and the fancy doorway from before appeared, leading to HQ. I detected the suppressed Reiatsu signatures of almost all the current captains around us but pretend not to notice, walking with Asami into the portal and disappearing into the light.

When we appeared in the hallway and the door shut behind us I spoke ''Did Jii-san really kill his father?''.

She was silent for a moment before replying ''Technically yes, but in reality the man was possessed by a Bakkoto and was freed from its control. His father was Genryusai's lieutenant some two hundred years ago, when Chojiro, his current lieutenant, fell into a coma after a hollow attack. Since Chojiro usually handled the first division while Genryusai handled the duties of being the captain commander, his third seat was temporarily promoted so to help him. After rumours started flying about the Bakkoto and the Kasumioji, Genryusai sent Amagai's father to investigate, hence he was possessed by a Bakkoto and Genryusai was forced to kill him''.

I blinked ''Will Amagai-san be okay? He did attack the captain commander after all''.

She sighed ''Ever since Toshiro escaped from soul society five years ago, the tenth hasn't had a captain. Twenty years prior your father left to marry your mother, so having a third captain leave captaincy will do bad for reputation, not to mention they'll be down four captains, and when war lingers on the horizon its never a good thing to be short of captain-class fighters. On another note, you didn't need to overpower the Kido spell''.

I blinked again ''I did?''.

''Using a full incantation with a Kido is when it is at its strongest'' Asami explained ''Using the Kido type and number puts it at around half strength while only using the name of the attack puts it at twenty percent power. Not verbalizing the attack at all drops the power down to five percent, unless your like my father, Tessai or Yamamoto and a master in Kido''.

I nodded as we exited the hallway, entering the HQ. Like before Starrk was lying near the entrance, Lilynette was lying against a nearby tree with Liltotto and, to my surprise, Yuzu and Karin. But if they were here, then where was-

''HELLO, ICHIGO!'' Isshin yelled. Ducking under my fathers sneak attack I grab his ankle and throw him into the ground to my right, making him grin and give me a thumbs up.

''Ichi-nii!'' ''Onii-chan!'' ''Asami-nee!''.

The only one of the four girls who didn't cry out was Liltotto, though she smiled in welcome to us. I smirked as Asami's eyebrow twitched at what Lilynette said and I hug my sisters when they reached me. Both had grown almost a years worth during their training, making them a few inches higher, added curves to their growing bodies and longer hair - which probably needed to be cut soon.

''What are you two and goat-chin doing here?'' I question idly.

''Tou-san said we could make some friends here'' Karin grinned, emphasising her point by wrapping an arm around Lilynette's neck while Yuzu gestured to Liltotto. I smiled at my sisters and chuckled.

''As long as you don't end up blowing up anything'' I joked and Karin glared.

''Hey just because I'm not as good in Hado as Yuzu!'' She barked embarrassedly.

''I told you not to use a spell over #100 without proper guidance'' Asami smiled at my sisters embarrassment.

Karin scoffed and looked away in embarrassment, but smiled lightly all the same.


A/N: So what do you guys think about the lemon scene? I know quite a few may question how soon in their relationship it happened, but I wanted it out of the way so we can focus more on the actual plotline. Again if you want my excuse, blame the inner hollows :3

I changed how Amagai's father got his position so it fit in better with canon. Since Chojiro was in a coma, he was selected to temporarily take his place and thus died as a lieutenant but without removing Chojiro and sitting better with canon.

Hoped you like it, sorry for the long update times.

OOHH I ALMOST FORGOT! Check out my other bleach story 'War of the Worlds' which I'm about to post, it'll be 9.5k-10.5k per chapter instead of this story's 4.5k-5.5k.

As a final note, the next update will be just as unknown, if not longer because I haven't even started it yet, as I'm too bus reading 'Don't judge a fanfiction by its cover' and for those who like crack fics, its worth it, TRUST ME.
