Ch 28
"I request your attention fellow shinigami!" Byakuya called out to the gathering in front of him.
His eyes were as cold and calm as ever as he prepared to announce the decisions that had been made within the Gotei 13. A few day's had gone by since Ichigo finished off the Central 46 together with his family and allies, and truth to be told Byakuya was proud of having played a major role in the battle.
He had been reluctant to aid Ichigo at first, but then he had remembered the words Ichigo had spoken to him the second time they crossed blades. Ichigo had trampled so easily on everything Byakuya stood for, and made him realize that family was worth more than pride and social status.
Although people generally though that he still had a stick up his ass, Byakuya's views and morals had changed quite the bit and it was all thanks to the carrot top. Byakuya had developed a soft spot for the orange hair, though he would never admit so and in secret he was truly happy Ichigo invaded Soul Society along with his friends all those years ago.
Now Soul Society would finally return to what it once was, Ichigo had even received word of appreciation from the Soul King. Byakuya was really proud of Ichigo and if it wasn't for the fact that Ichigo was already the heir to the Kurosaki seat, he'd adopt the orangette in as his successor.
Half of the shinigami that lived in Soul Society would lead a much easier life now, they would be able to experience the true purpose of Soul Society's existence, while the other half would return to routines they had nearly forgotten about.
Byakuya cleared his throat and let his cold gaze freeze upon the crowd.
"I am proud to announce the return of the 11th squad lieutenant Kurosaki Ichigo," Byakuya said and Ichigo stepped forward, his badge firm in place around his left arm.
"I am also going to step down from my positions as the Head Captain. This was decided by vote inside the Gotei 13, and I am happy to announce that all Captains' and Lieutenants' have come to the decision of promoting Kyoraku Shunsui as the new head captain. Myself I will take on the position as captain of the 6th squad, while Captain Abarai will return to his position as my lieutenant." Byakuya drew his breath and continued.
"I am also proud to announce the promotion of Kotetsu Isane whom will take on the role as Captain of the 4th division, while Yamada Hanataro will take on the position as Kotetsu's lieutenant." Byakuya took a short break to let the shinigami digest the information and then spoke on.
"Further on Urahara Kisuke has accepted the offer to return as Captain of the 12th division, while Kurotsuchi has been found guilty of helping with the assassination of several Kurosaki and has therefore been sentenced to a life time in the maggot's nest."
A loud chatter could be heard as the shinigami began talking amongst them. Byakuya had to cough to gain their attention again and continued his speech of promotion's and demotions.
"Also Yoruichi is returning, and Sui-Feng will be demoted to lieutenant, as Shihoin Yoruichi will return to her previous position as Captain of the stealth force." Another short break and Byakuya prepared to end the speech with the last promotions and demotions.
"Kuchiki Rukia have been promoted to Captain of the 8th division and Shiba Miyako will take Kuchiki's place as the lieutenant of the 13th division, may all of you have luck and fortune in your new positions," Byakuya said before bowing to the crowd and handing his Captain robes over to Shunsui. Then Renji came up with Byakuya's old Captain robes and smiled.
"I'm happy to be your subordinate once again Captain; it will be an honor serving you again." Byakuya's lips tilted a smile before he gave his lieutenant a light pat on the shoulder before returning to his rightful spot in the lineup of Captains'.
Rukia blushed as she got her robes and Kuchiki heirlooms, and straightened her back as she took place in the line of Captains'. Kotetsu gave a meek nod as she too received her white robe, and quietly took her place amongst the others.
Then Kisuke and Yoruichi received their robes and smiled as they finally returned to their home. Next all the Lieutenants' received their badges and took their place's behind their respective Captains'.
The crowd looked up at the Captain's once more as Shunsui stepped forward and cleared his throat.
"I am proud to take on the position as your Head Captain, and I will do my best to meet your expectations," he said with a smile. "Also I'd like to reintroduce a special someone to you all," he said.
He chuckled as the crowd began mumbling, struck with curiosity as to whom this person could be.
"I am proud to introduce the head of the 5th noble clan, Kurosaki Isshin!" At first there was silence, but then the older generation of Shinigami began clapping and cheering as Isshin stepped past his son and Captain Zaraki.
"I must say, it feel's great to come home after all these years," Isshin said as he smiled to the crowd.
"I am proud to be able to say that the Kurosaki manor is under restoration and that I and my family members will move in shortly and resume our old tasks within the Seiretei," he then continued pointing at Ichigo, whom in turn pushed a resisting Karin in front of him.
The crowd once more cheered and clapped, making Karin blush and hide behind Ichigo.
"Now then, putting that aside I have a special announcement for everyone. I am proud to give Ichigo the title of honor Shinigami, and I expect all of you to pay deep respect to this young man," Shunsui said and dragged Ichigo to the front so the crowd could see him properly.
A large roar was heard as the Shinigami began stomping, cheering and whistling for the sunlight of Soul Society, and Ichigo was left with a slight tint of red on his cheeks.
"I am also happy to present two long lost and surviving Kuroski too you. I expect you to treat them like you would treat any other noble shinigami, and pay them your respect," Shunsui continued.
The crowd gasped as Grimmjow appeared at Shunsui's side placing his hand atop of Ichigo's shoulders in a brotherly manner.
"Yo everyone. Names Grimmjow Jeaguerjaques; but call me Grimmjow," he said waving to the girls in the crowd making several of them blush as the handsome man displayed to them. A few shouts of protests came from the crowd, claiming that they could never treat hollow scum like Grimmjow as shinigami. Grimmjow's keen ears of course picked up on the few lines and his cyan eyes quickly pinned the skeptic Shinigami.
"Do you have a death wish pal?" He growled warningly.
"Now now, please don't be mean. As I said I expect you all to treat Grimmjow here as the noble he is. Though he might have lost his shinigami appearance, his heart still remains half us, and half hollow and anyone whom disrespects Grimmjow or sullies the Kurosaki name can expect grave punishment," Shunsui said eyeing the crowd with glowing eyes.
Next Ulquiorra appeared quickly knocking Grimmjow in the head for causing a ruckus, before stepping up at Ichigo's side. His face emotionless as ever he presented himself.
"I am Ulquiorra Schiffer, please just call me Schiffer," he said. Then Ichigo stepped forward and coughed.
"I am sure you must be curious as to why Ulquiorra and Grimmjow here are connected to the Kurosaki and I shall explain to you. Ulquiorra and Grimmjow, along with their deceased elder brother were the children of my uncle, thus making us cousins. They will probably travel between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, but I need your hospitality to be at top whenever they decide to come here to stay for a few days." A short moment of silence spread through the crowd before they said "Hai Ichigo-sama!" Ichigo smiled and gave his gratitude and spoke once more.
"As of right now, I am the king of the arrancar thus I need to travel regularly to Hueco Mundo to keep the peace. While I'm away I entrust Madarame Ikakku to handle my duties as Lieutenant."
With approving nods of all Captain's Ichigo finally stepped back alongside his father, sister and brothers and the Shinigami were dismissed after being told there was going to be a get together later in the evening.
Ichigo and Kenpachi were venturing through the streets of the Seiretei talking casually, as they headed for the Kurosaki manor. The eastern houses had been restored already, and that was where the rooms for the top branch were located.
Ichigo's father had already gone back to the realm of the living in order to check on Yuzu, worried about his little girl now that she would be living alone. Karin had snuck of somewhere with someone, but Ichigo had a good idea of who it was.
The sparks had been there ever since Karin first met Toshiro, mistaking him for a grade school student like herself while he was on a mission in Karakura town. Toshiro had helped Karin's soccer team win a game, and later saved Karin and her friends from a hollow.
Toshiro had developed a sense of duty and care for the girl, and he and Karin got along well. Ichigo had no problem letting his sister's hand fall into Toshiro's palm; he knew they were meant to be.
Ichigo happily reached up to kiss his mate; ignoring the stares of those they passed by. Gay relationships weren't that uncommon in Soul Society, and there had even been married couples from time to time.
Of course Kenpachi had forgotten to tell Ichigo when he first advanced, and now Ichigo was half angry at the brute for making him worry so much about their social status.
Their type of relationship wasn't shunned here, like it was most places in the living realm and Ichigo enjoyed the freedom to shower his brute with love in public. They had talked it over with Shunsui, and he had smiled and told them that it was fine.
You need not worry about their private life mixing with their work, that was what he had told them winking to Ichigo with a knowing smile.
It was then Ichigo got it, Shunsui himself was in love with a colleague and it wasn't all that hard to guess who it was.
As Ichigo unlocked the gate in front of the manor he was stunned by the beautiful garden. There was a beautiful little creek running through the yard, ending in a shallow pond filled with colorful koi fish.
A beautifully carved wooden bridge ran across it, and as Ichigo and Kenpachi crossed over the wind sent its breath through the many sakura tree's in the garden. The display of dancing sakura petals dancing in the air, bathing in the moonlight was beautiful and he sighed peacefully.
He then continued to lead and slid a door open. They came into a large greeting hall, and on the wall hung the Zanpakuto that had been wielded by the very first Kurosaki.
Though most Zanpakuto crumbled and turned to dust when their master died, this Zanpakuto along with its master had been so great that the sword had been sealed with a special kido that prevented it from fading away.
Ichigo could feel the spirit of the Zanpakuto, and as his lithe finger's brushed across the scabbard electricity shot through his body. All the knowledge and memories of the Zanpakuto was transferred to Ichigo and he smiled at all those happy and bright memories he saw.
Children were smiling and greeting him, adding sama to his name all the time. Adult's bowed and asked him for opinions on different matters, and he was offered dinner or tea at every doorstep.
On the sidelines Kenpachi watched as Ichigo's figure softened while he held the Zanpakuto and he smiled. For the very first time, there were no signs of pain, torment or hate in Ichigo's beautiful face, and Kenpachi enjoyed the view making sure to hammer the picture so hard into his mind that he would never forget it.
Ichigo drew the Zanpakuto from its scabbard and both he and Kenpachi were truly amazed by it. The katana was just like your regular katana, only with a black blade. It was just like Ichigo's Ban Kai, the only difference was the guard and the lack of a chain at the end of the hilt.
It was truly beautiful, and Ichigo caressed the blade swearing he heard the soul of the Zanpakuto purr in delight. Ichigo sheathed the black katana and hung it up on the wall again, before he continued to walk sliding open yet another door.
This was the official greeting room for the leaders, and leading out of it were 5 doors. One led to Ichigo's quarters, while the other three led to Isshin, Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Karin's room.
Ichigo smiled at how they had chosen to identify the rooms. Ichigo's door was decorated with a large gothic zero, while Ulquiorra's was painted with a gothic one. Grimmjow's had a gothic two, while Karin's had a gothic 6. Isshin's door was decorated with a beautiful Japanese dragon, clearly identifying the quarter as the leaders.
As Ichigo entered his room, his eyes fell upon a large square chamber. In the middle there was a large futon, which looked really comfy. Separated from the rest of the room by thin walls, was a small dining area, and a large wardrobe.
There was no kitchen area, seeing as once the Kurosaki household was up and running again, there would be servants there to make dinner preparations and everything. On the left wall there was a door, and when Ichigo slid it open he and Kenpachi stepped into their own private garden.
In the middle of the garden there was a natural hot spring, which looked very welcoming. The edges of the spring were crowned by beautiful young sakura trees and the whole scenery was enchanting. The manor was so beautiful Ichigo couldn't describe it.
Without a warning he dragged Kenpachi with him down into the hot spring, not caring to strip them off their yukata's.
Ichigo snarled in excitement as his pale body was thrown upon the comfy futon. His navy blue tongue slid sensually across his lips as his golden eyes flashed at the brute hovering above him.
Black fingernails dug into Kenpachi's shoulders as Ichigo forcibly drew his mate down into a searing kiss. Kenpachi moaned with lust, as his crotch throbbed and he deepened the kiss.
Ichigo purred into Kenpachi's mouth as their tongues twirled and danced until Kenpachi finally dominated Ichigo completely. Ichigo shivered with excitement as Kenpachi's rough hands gently ghosted across his pale flesh down to his waistline.
Ichigo purred seductively as Kenpahi began hitting his buttons, and moaned loudly as his perked nipples were caught by massaging fingers. All the while a warm and rough tongue traced Ichigo's lithe muscled abdomen making the ashen haired arrancar writher and moan in pleasure.
Kenpachi groaned as the pressure built in his crotch, and rubbed his and Ichigo's erections together making the smaller male mewl happily. Kenpachi took a moment to stop and look at the sight beneath him. There on the futon, laid his Ichigo covered in sweat shivering with excitement.
"So fucking beautiful," he purred as he reached down grabbing the throbbing member of Ichigo.
Ichigo growled ferociously as his throb was dulled some by Kenpachi's stroking hands and small moans and mewls escaped his pale lips as Kenpachi worked his erection.
Kenpachi loved how the sounds Ichigo made seemed to come from all directions at once, the distorted voice was so enchanting and mystical and a big turn on for the brute.
"Damn, I can't believe we didn't try this before," Kenpachi panted as he lowered his head letting his tongue probe at the head of Ichigo's length.
A soft mewl escaped Ichigo, as he eagerly bucked his hips forward in an invitation. Kenpachi hummed and took Ichigo's full length inside his mouth to jerk his lover off.
As the throb in his dick decreased, the throb in his behind increased and Ichigo fisted his hands into those long beautiful locks of black hair that framed the manly face of his lover so well.
"Mmmm…So good," Ichigo moaned.
Kenpachi grinned around Ichigo's dick as he increased his force and speed, leaving Ichigo to writher in ecstasy beneath him.
"Shit…gonna…cum…" Ichigo groaned, and shortly after his orgasm exploded and filled Kenpachi's mouth with salty semen, which had a touch of strawberry to it.
"I love your fluids," Kenpachi growled as he swallowed and licked his lips in a most feral way, his eyes glowing as he did so.
"Fuck Kenpachi…Take me already!" Ichigo growled impatiently as the throb in his ass became too much, and Kenpachi raised a brow.
"Take you dry?" He asked.
"Fuck yeah; I can handle the pain…" Ichigo groaned as he clawed at Kenpachi's arms.
Ichigo groaned as Kenpachi pushed through his unprepared entrance and winced at the pain that shot up his spine.
"You ok?" Kenpachi asked worriedly.
"Yeah…I'm fine…Just give me…some time…to…adjust," Ichigo breathed.
Once Ichigo had adjusted to the intrusion he growled, making Kenpachi begin rocking his hips back and forth. Ichigo winced as Kenpachi rubbed his dry walls, but the pain soon turned into pleasure as Kenpachi brushed his prostate lightly.
As a satisfied mewl escaped Ichigo, Kenpachi knew he had found it and increased his pace hitting the knob of nerves harder with each thrust into the warm cave. Ichigo began yowling and screaming in pleasure as Kenpachi rammed his prostate and his black fingernails shredded the arms of the brute as his mind was clouded with pleasure.
"Oh…mmmm…so fucking…good," Ichigo gasped as he began meeting the brute's thrusts further increasing his ecstasy and pleasure.
Ichigo soon drifted into a void of pleasure and as his cave began clenching and throbbing around Kenpachi's member the brute growled in unison with his mate.
"Gonna…shoot…soon," Ichigo moaned.
"Me too," Kenpachi huffed as he increased his speed and force even more.
Ichigo screamed in pleasure, clamping so hard down on Kenpachi's arms that they would surely bruise later as he came, followed by Kenpachi whom bruised Ichigo's hips clenching down on them as he released into the silky cavern.
Kenpachi landed on top of Ichigo breathing heavily, feeling Ichigo reach his arms around his wide back clenching to him tightly.
"I love you," Ichigo whispered into Kenpachi's ear. Kenpachi smiled and kissed Ichigo before rolling off, dragging the pale arrancar into his side. He watched as the pale color gave ways to sun kissed bronze skin and orange hair and he dug his face into Ichigo's neck kissing it
. "Love you too," he hummed as they both faded into sleep dreaming of each other.
