Reincarnated Into the World of Bleach

Kishin. Chigetsu Kishin. He was an assassin, student, grandson, one could call him many things but there was none more accurate than what he was right now. Dead...or so he thought. A loud roar echoed in the streets as a creature with a giant hole in its chest approached. He watched in disbelief as several Shinigami intercepted it. "I-It can't be. A Hollow? Did I...reincarnate?"

CHAPTER 37

Kishin stood to the left of the Captain Commander as the rest of the other Gotei 13 Captains took up their own assigned positions in the Captain's meeting hall. He gave his account of what had happened with Kariya and about his death which had ended the matter with the Bounts. According to Rukia and Renji who gave a report earlier in the day the number of Bounts that infiltrated Soul Society were just two. Kariya Jin and Koga Go as the other Bounts were defeated by them and Ichigo in the World of the Living. Aside from those two who made it there was also the rogue Shinigami Ichinose Maki, a defected member of the 11th division during the Captaincy of the previous 11th division Captain, Kiganjo Kenpachi.

Toshiro ended up encountering Koga in the Eastern district of Rukongai and also discovered Ichigo's kidnapped sister, Karin. In the end the 10th division Captain managed to kill Koga with little effort and successfully rescued Ichigo's younger sister. Kishin raised a curious eyebrow when he noted how Toshiro grumbled when mentioning Karin's name. Since the young Captain couldn't just abandon her he took her back to the 10th division barracks awaiting Ichigo's arrival, however no one knew that Toshiro had recovered Karin until just this morning and therefore she had spent the entire night with his division.

As for the defected member Ichinose Maki, he was discovered snooping around the Seireitei grounds heading in the direction of the 12th division. No doubt under orders from Kariya to steal the Jokaisho sealed and hidden there. In the process he ended up running past the 11th division and encountered Kenpachi. According to Kenpachi they dueled and fought with the end result being Ichinose's defeat, however he didn't know what happened to Ichinose as he left him bleeding to death on the ground. It was Unohana that mentioned how she came across his near death state and healed him before turning him over to the Onmitsukido. Soi Fon then continued on to narrate how she had confiscated his Zanpakuto and imprisoned him in the Nest of Maggots.

Kishin elected not to mention the situation with Ran'Tao as he decided that it wasn't necessary information the rest of the Gotei 13 needed to be made aware of. Since he surmised that the attempt on her life had to do with Nobility there wasn't much that the Gotei 13 could do anyways. The Noble Houses and Clans had more weight and influence than any of the Captains cared to admit. Unless there was absolutely no doubt in the evidence presented forth for the involvement of a Noble Clan in the assassination attempts on Ran'Tao's life, then things would go nowhere with investigating the aristocracy.

With everyone's recounting of the Bounts coming to an end the entire focus of the Gotei 13 returned to Aizen and coming up with a plan to stop him, but the meeting ended without much development. As Kishin began to trek out of the hall exiting the giant double doors he glanced to Toshiro who was walking beside him and curiously asked, "What happened with the girl?"

"What girl?" Toshiro grumbled in response.

Now Kishin was slightly curious at Toshiro's reluctance. "I'm talking about Ichigo's sister. Karin. You seem...a bit irritated."

Toshiro sighed and crossed his arms. "Tch. She's a handful."

"A handful? What did she do to you?"

Toshiro shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck. "Nothing really. She just...has too many questions and is curious about everything. But get this, she doesn't even believe in ghosts! Can you believe that?! Or rather I guess I should say she chooses not to believe in them EVEN though she can see them! Oh, and her oddity doesn't end there. She can see us Shinigami too but she chooses to believe that we're real. I mean, the ghosts she sees are technically pluses or souls that have yet to move on into the Soul Society but still, doesn't she sound a bit ridiculous? We Shinigami share similar traits to pluses and pluses that become souls in the Soul Society even have a chance to become Shinigami themselves, if they have the potential. But no, she simply argues back on how they're different trying to justify her choice to ignore ghosts. Do you know how long I wasted my efforts on trying to correct her? She's as stubborn as a big fat boulder!"

Several times Kishin wanted to interject into the conversation but he couldn't find an opening as Toshiro simply continued on his rant. "Oh, and another point about the ghosts. Even though she chooses to ignore them she keeps asking me about them and wants me to tell her how they come about and how to make them go away and if she could ward or kick them out. Doesn't that mean she implicitly believes in them anyways?" Toshiro finally took a breather and sighed, "Haaah...She's an weird one. Ah! And the tone of her voice...don't even get me started with that! She may seem curious and innocent and all but she doesn't sound interested at all when she talks. And she doesn't call me Captain! How rude. It's no surprise that she's Kurosaki's sister."

Kishin just blinked and gave Toshiro a long blank stare.

"What?" Toshiro asked, staring back at Kishin's odd look.

Kishn rubbed the back of his neck not knowing exactly what to say. "Ah...well, it's nothing. It's just, it seems like you spent a lot of time watching over her yesterday if enough stuff happened between you both for you to grumble like that. I thought you'd have Rangiku watch over her or something."

He then made a mental note of his friend's lively attitude and silently mused to himself.

Well...at least I'm glad something happened to take his mind off of Hinamori and her current condition.

Toshiro rolled his eyes at the mention of Rangiku's name. "I can't leave a kid alone with Matsumoto when she's drinking. After beating Koga she called in for the night and pulled out the booze."

Kishin smirked and playfully teased, "Aren't you a kid too?"

A thick vein popped on Toshiro's forehead as he pointed an accusing finger at Kishin. "I'm older than you! You just...cheated. Tch. And I'm still being denied the Growth Factor Pills. You bastard."

Kishin just let out a lighthearted chuckle. "Hey, being 160cm is a pretty good achievement for you in such a short amount of time. You're taller than Yushiro by 6 and a half centimeters. Not bad not bad."

Again a thick vein popped on Toshiro's forehead. "You...just you wait. I'll be taller than you eventually. We'll see who has the last laugh then."

"Ha-Hahaha!" Kishin laughed and nodded before asking, "So? What happened with Karin? Did Ichigo come pick her up yet?"

Once more at the mention of Karin's name it triggered a certain memory from last night in Toshiro's head to resurface.

Flash Back

"Hey...can I ask a question?" Karin asked with a serious look on her face whilst staring out the window. The silver light of the moon shone down on her shoulder length straight black hair cropped around her face. Her shadow was cast on the cool wooden floor as she stood at her full height of 136cm leaning against the ledge of the window in her white sports shorts and black colored t-shirt.

Toshiro glanced in her direction in silence for a moment as they were currently inside his office quarters. The only light was from that of the moon as it shone in through the windows. The room lights were currently turned off as Matsumoto was currently asleep on the couch snoozing away. He couldn't help but be impressed that Karin wasn't freaking out over her current situation. After another minute in silence he finally responded, "What is it?"

She slowly turned her head to look Toshiro in the eyes and asked, "What happened to Hinamori?"

Toshiro's shoulder slightly twitched at her question. It was just now that he recalled that Momo and Rukia had spent 3 months in Karakura Town living with the Kurosaki family. With Rukia being stationed there again after the incident with Aizen it was no surprise that Karin would have seen her around, however Momo never returned. It was only natural that she would be curious, however he wasn't sure what he was supposed to say. That Momo was fine? Of course she wasn't fine.

Karin took note of Toshiro's hesitance and depressed look and knew that she had asked something she probably shouldn't have. Closing her eyes deep in thought she turned back to look out the window and sighed. "Never mind."

"Huh?" He inquired.

"I said never mind." She repeated.

"What do you mean never mind?"

"Your facial expression. It tells me all I need to know. Hinamori is probably not okay right? But you look like you're hurting which means you care about her. Then I don't have to worry too much because you'll help her right? I probably won't be of any help anyways. Knowing will only cause me to feel more powerless. Just like knowing about my brother Ichigo. Even though I know what this place is and what he is I can't do anything about it."

Toshiro remained silent for a good long while until he finally decided to say with a soft whisper, "I don't know what to do either."

Once more Karin turned to face him and noted the dejected look in his eyes. "I see. Then I guess we're both just deadweight huh?"

"Yeah..." Toshiro agreed near inaudibly with a depressed tone of voice.

Karin furrowed her brow disapprovingly as she was making a pessimistic joke, but instead of refuting her he had instead agreed.

What?! He thinks he's deadweight? With the power he has? He defeated that Koga guy so easily how can he think he's deadweight? I was making a joke! If someone like him thinks he's deadweight then it'll really bring down my self-esteem!

She crossed her arms and decided to make another snide comment. "Well don't worry too much about it. You're still a kid anyways so it's fine if you can't do much right now."

Toshiro instantly snapped out of his depressed state and glanced at her with incredulous looking eyes. "W-What did you just call me?"

Karin smirked and repeated, "I said, it's fine if you can't do much right now because you're still just a kid."

A thick vein popped on his forehead as his gloomy mood instantly vanished. "M-Me? A-A-A kid?! Oi! I'm 5 foot 3 you know!"

"So? I'm 4 foot 5 1/2."

"I'm taller than you!"

"A very impressive feat, being taller than me."

"Y-You!" Toshiro grumbled at her jabbing remark.

Karin simply grinned in triumph. "What matters is your attitude. You're still a kid."

"I'm a Captain of the Gotei 13. I am not a kid!"

"Then stop acting like one!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Stop sulking about being a deadweight and think about how you can be helpful!"

...

Silence.

For a good long minute the only noise that could be heard was the snoring from Rangiku on the couch and her occasional nonsensical ramblings in her sleep. Finally Toshiro glanced at her somewhat stunned and questioned, "What do you mean?"

Karin sighed and turned away from him. "You have such incredible power. I saw how easily you defeated that Koga guy. If you're saying that you can't help Hinamori then how do you think I feel? Even Ichigo. That idiot brother of mine. Now that I know what he is and what kind of dangerous stuff he's doing I can't do anything to help him. I was so clueless about all of this before and even ended up being a burden getting myself captured and used as a hostage. I'm the real useless one."

It was then Toshiro realized his mistake and wanted to say something encouraging, however he didn't really know what to say. "I-"

He was cutoff however as Karin continued, "Even at home I can't do anything well. Yuzu is the one who cooks and takes care of the house. My stupid old dad is clumsy and acts like an idiot, but he's trying his best as a single parent and is always working to help keep our family afloat. And then there's Ichigo. Even though what he's doing is incredibly dangerous he's doing what he can to protect us. I'm...just useless. The only thing I can do is try not to be a burden on anyone but it seems I even failed at that, getting captured and all. Honestly I-"

"You're not a burden." Toshiro interjected.

"How would you k-"

Again Toshiro cut her off as he continued, "You're trying your best too aren't you? Just like your sister Yuzu, your idiot brother and stupid old dad, you're also doing your best. I'm sure they don't think of you as a burden. You're swimming in your own self-doubt...just like I am."

Karin remained silent for a moment before her lips curled up in a slight smile. "Then I guess...we both need to tough it out huh?"

A slight smile also appeared on Toshiro's face as he turned to stare out the window as well. "Yeah, I guess so."

End of Flash Back

"Toshiro?" Kishin questioned at his friends silence.

Toshiro snapped back to reality as he recalled Kishin's question. "Right...Ichigo's at the division, but he hasn't left. Instead he's spending the day there." He then silently grumbled, "In fact...Sado, Ishida, and Inoue are there too."

Kishin blinked and gave a blank stare at his friend. "Oh right...I think Rukia mentioned to me last night that they had all come together and split up to search for the Bounts. How did they all end up at your place though?"

Toshiro just shrugged. "Probably because Karin was there. They all decided to make themselves at home. And I didn't throw them out...yet. Actually Matsumoto likes the company."

"Heh. Figures. She is a social butterfly. Did they happen to mention when they were heading back?"

"No. Not yet. There wasn't much time for us to talk since we were called for a Captain's meeting early this morning. What about you? You didn't get to ask Kuchiki-san anything?"

Kishin frowned in dissatisfaction as he replied somewhat frustratingly, "We met Byakuya on the way back to Soul Society after I killed Kariya. Just my luck."

Toshiro snickered at Kishin's dismay. "So that's what happened. Guess she ended up returning to the Kuchiki Manor instead of with you huh?"

Kishin glared at Toshiro's jabbing remark. "Is it so wrong for me to want to spend a single full day alone with her? Even just a night? Is that really asking too much?"

Toshiro shook his head before slightly blushing in embarrassment as he caught the underlying meaning behind Kishin's words. He stared incredulously at his red haired friend feeling a bit lost for words.

"What?" Kishin curiously asked.

Toshiro's cheeks turned even redder as he couldn't help where his thoughts were taking him. "Y-Y-You...ahem. You haven't...well...with Kuchiki-san already right? I mean you both only started dating not too long ago so…"

"What are you talking about?"

The red tint on Toshiro's cheeks slowly crawled its way down to his neck as he turned his gaze away from Kishin, no longer deciding to pursue the conversation. "N-Never mind. Forget that I said anything."

Kishin gave Toshiro a suspicious glance, but before he could inquire further the two of them were interrupted by Amagai's voice. "Ah, Captain Hitsugaya, Captain Chigetsu. Great job on the matter with the Bounts! You both sure work fast. I feel a bit useless as I wasn't able to contribute anything."

"It's fine. The Head Captain already gave you the task of investigating the 5th division members right? How is that going?" Toshiro simply replied.

"Oh, ah yes. Progress is going smoothly. I've already detained several people who were working exclusively for Aizen Sosuke including the ones who were impersonating the guards stationed around the Central 46 Compound."

Kishin's ears perked up at this information as he realized now that the guards who attempted to stand in his way back when he went to confront Aizen in the Seijotokyorin were actually members of the 5th division. It was then Toshiro nodded his head as a solemn look clouded his eyes. "Have you...decided on a new Lieutenant?"

Amagai's expression became serious as he nodded with pity and sympathy towards Toshiro. "Yes. It is unfortunate about Hinamori Momo's condition. I hear she is awake again but that she was relieved of her duties as Lieutenant and is still in mental rehabilitation. The new Lieutenant that I've chosen is actually someone who served under me in the Expedition Unit of the Onmitsukido. His name is Kibune Makoto. He's been of great help to me in restructuring the internal affairs of the 5th division. Oh, and I wish to say thank you. To the both of you, Captain Hitsugaya, Captain Chigetsu."

"Mn? For?" Both Toshiro and Kishin asked.

Amagai embarrassedly rubbed the back of his neck and continued, "Well, with everything that happened in the 5th division I was somewhat shocked that there wasn't that much work that piled up for me to do other than secretly investigating the 5th division members. When I was out getting acquainted with Captain Kyoraku and Captain Ukitake the other day I heard from them that the reason there was hardly any work was thanks to the two of you. So...I wish to thank you both for making my transition into the 5th division much smoother. It seems to be about noon right now so could I...perhaps treat you both to lunch as thanks?"

Kishin and Toshiro glanced at one another before they both gave their answer at the same time, though they each had replied differently.

"I suppose." "No thanks."

"Eh?" Amagai blinked and stared confusedly at them.

Toshiro and Kishin then turned to glance at one another again.

"You...don't want to go?" Toshiro asked as Kishin was the one who turned down the offer.

Kishin just waved his hand uninterestedly. "It's not that I won't go, but I have something I need to do right now. I probably shouldn't put it off for too long." The image of Ran'Tao's angry face popped in his head as he figured that she was probably wondering if he was really going to honor his word and return to make a deal with her.

Amagai quickly rectified his statement and interjected, "Ahhh, no worries no worries. If lunch doesn't work then perhaps dinner later this evening? I not only wish to show my thanks to you both but I'd like to get to know all of you better as well if you'll let me."

Kishin gave a thoughtful look before sighing and nodding his head. "Alright. If all goes well then I suppose dinner will be fine."

Amagai beamed. "Excellent! Hahaha, don't worry Captains. Leave it to me. We can meet by the West Gate of the Seireitei around 7pm. How does that sound?"

"Alright." Kishin and Toshiro replied in agreement.

With having everything settled Kishin took his leave and walked off towards the 2nd division grounds. He couldn't help staring in wonderment every time he walked through the 2nd division as the buildings always looked so lustrous and luxurious. Obviously no doubt due to the influence of Omaeda.

"Jeez. He truly loves to flaunt his money. Then again…" A thought occurred to him as he realized that he never asked Akon how much money he had been able to raise from his reigar invention. "I wonder how that side of the business is doing? Come to think of it I haven't seen or spoken to Akon-senpai in awhile. I wonder if I should pay him a visit sometime soon."

Even though he wasn't a member of the 2nd division anymore many others who still remembered him had respectfully greeted him as he made his way to the Nest of Maggots. Especially since he was a Captain now. In fact, many members of the Onmitsukido felt a bit of personal pride due to the fact that many Captains had arisen out of their organization such as Yoruichi, Soi Fon, Urahara, Amagai, and now also Kishin.

Once more Kishin crossed over the familiar bridge and through a dark forest that led to the cave entrance of the Maggots Nest, though he was slightly surprised at what he found. Standing guard all around the area were several dozens of members within the Punishment Force Unit and seated with their eyes closed in front of the metal door was Yushiro. He looked to be asleep, but Kishin knew better that his playful friend was simply half resting and half alert.

Fwish!

A member of the Onmitsukido quickly dashed out in front of Kishin and knelt to the ground speaking with great respect, "Welcome back, Captain Chigetsu."

Kishin smirked, feeling somewhat amused and nodded in acknowledgement. "Hello, Kasumi. Has Yushiro been treating you well?"

Kasumi blushed beneath her mask as she noted how deep and comforting Kishin's voice sounded in her ears.

"Y-Yes…" She meekly replied.

It was then the sound of Yushiro's loud boisterous voice could be heard. "Kishin! You're back! Finally! I was wondering how long I was supposed to stand guard over the door."

Kishin awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck unsure of what to reply. Yushiro just glared at his friend and said accusingly, "Y-You! You forgot that you asked me to stand guard didn't you?"

"Haha...don't get so mad Yushiro. It's not that I forgot. It's just-"

"Just what?" Yushiro asked impatiently.

Kishin scratched the side of his cheek giving up on an excuse. "Alright, I forgot."

"Uh?!" Yushiro fell backwards hitting the ground feeling as if a cold bucket of water was just dunked on his head. He had somewhat expected that to be the case as it wouldn't be the first time his cunning mischievous friend had forgotten about the tasks that he assigned him, but it still didn't help when Kishin always so openly admitted that this was indeed the case. Yushiro didn't know if he should be glad that Kishin was always so blunt when it came to things like this or a bit unhappy that he didn't even bother or try to come up with an excuse.

Kishin just grinned and walked over to his dazed friend on the ground. "Oi? Yushiro? You alive?"

Yushiro blinked a few times before staring and pouting at Kishin. "Remind me why we're friends?"

"Heh. Because you wouldn't leave me alone when we were kids."

Yushiro awkwardly scratched the side of his cheek and stood back up. "Aha...I guess...it was my fault?"

"So you do know that you were an annoying brat back in the day that kept interfering with my work and training simply because you wanted to play tag and talk about your sister."

Once again Yushiro awkwardly scratched the side of his cheek and diverted his gaze from Kishin. "Haha...ahem. Was I angry? I wasn't I wasn't. I was just wondering when you were coming back that's all! Haha...ahem! Sooo...what're you going to do now?" Yushiro attempted to steer the conversation away, however a nervous bead of sweat dripped down the side of his forehead as he noted the look in Kishin's eyes that told him his friend was about to ask another favor.

Kishin opened the door to the Nest and paused. "I have a favor to ask, Yushiro."

Once more Yushiro felt like a bucket of cold water was dumped atop of his head.

Kasumi snickered nearby in amusement as even though she currently served under Yushiro, she knew that her new Commander never had an edge over Kishin.

Yushiro sighed and waved his hand in defeat. "Alright...I figured as much. So? What is it this time?"

Kishin curiously raised his eyebrow at his friend. "Really? You aren't going to complain that I'm asking another favor of you?"

Yushiro simply waved his hand in the air. "Forget it forget it. Can I even refuse your requests? You're lucky I can't come to hate you…" He grumbled towards the end.

Kishin smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder. "I only ask because you're super reliable."

Yushiro sighed and thought about Yoruichi.

Is this how big sis is with Urahara? She's always running errands for him too…

"Alright, what do you need?" Yushiro continued.

"Mmmm...I'm going to make a deal with Ran'Tao."

"Eh?" Yushiro blinked and cocked his head to the side somewhat intrigued. "A deal? What kind of deal?"

"Shinigami who are placed in the Nest of Maggots aren't lost causes. They have a chance at redemption and a chance to once more become beneficial to Soul Society as a whole."

Yushiro just blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about the deal I'm making with Ran'Tao. So long as she agrees, I'll take her out of the Nest of Maggots as a member under the 3rd division."

Yushiro widened his eyes in shock. "E-Ehhh?! You are?"

Kishin nodded. "That's right. Just as Urahara did long ago by taking several members out to work under him. What I'm doing isn't unprecedented, just...extremely rare."

Yushiro nodded in understanding. "I see. Since I'm the overseer the favor you want to ask of me is to sign off on the documents allowing for this to happen."

"That's right. Well, that is only if she agrees. If she doesn't then nothing will happen."

"Okay, but is this the right choice? If your hunch is right and she's being targeted by someone of nobility then wouldn't letting her out be more of a danger to her life than letting her stay inside?"

Kishin's expression became serious as he shook his head. "No. Think about it Yushiro. The assassins that were sent could infiltrate this deeply into the Onmitsukido headquarters. If it truly is nobility that is after Ran'Tao's life then it'd be easy for her persecutor to set a stage for an assassin to be captured and sent into the Nest of Maggots. Then they could simply plan how to kill her from the inside by playing the role of an inmate. And if they are true assassins through and through hired by that of a Noble, it's possible that the assassin would just kill them self after they've completed their task leaving no way to trace who was behind the incident. In the end her life is in danger either way."

Yushiro scratched the back of his head impressed that Kishin thought that far ahead. "You're...actually right. That actually seems like a real possibility. As a Noble myself I understand how a lot of them think. They really would go to extreme lengths just like you described to cover up something they want hidden. Alright. If you can convince Ran'Tao to join your division then I'll sign off on the necessary papers."

Kishin nodded in thanks and walked inside once more down the familiar dark cavernous cave and through the wooden double doors that led into the Nest. When all the inmates saw him return they shuddered in fear and shirked away into the distance keeping to themselves. The ominous presence of his reiatsu still lingered in the back of their minds and hearts from the other day when he had visited. Kishin smirked in amusement at how quiet the room became but simply ignored everyone as he walked on down back towards Ran'Tao's cell, however he raised an eyebrow in curiosity as he noted that there was someone else locked away back here in a different cell.

They were a man with a well lean-build standing at a height of approximately 180cm. They had brown eyes and short raven black hair with bangs falling down the middle of their forehead. They had fair skin and had somewhat sharp facial features with an angular jaw wearing the common white garments that all inmates of the Maggots Nest wore.

Hm? That must be Ichinose Maki. Soi Fon did mention that he was locked up here.

It didn't take long before he came upon the view of Ran'Tao's cell. The moment she caught sight of him she stood up and gripped the cold iron bars of her cage.

"Captain Chigetsu! So you've returned. That was...quick."

Kishin smiled and nonchalantly waved at her. "Yo, Ran'Tao-san. I take it that you haven't been bothered."

She sighed and took a seat back down on her prison mattress. "If you're back already then...could it be that the Bounts escaped?"

Kishin raised his eyebrow curiously at her and questioned, "You doubt the capabilities of the Gotei 13 that much?"

"Eh? What? Uh, it's not that I doubt the capabilities of the Gotei 13 to handle the matter with the Bounts, but it's just...it hasn't even been 24 hours since we last spoke. You aren't going to say that you actually managed to find the Bounts and defeated them all within the span of a single night are you?"

Kishin shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference on his face. "Why not?"

Ran'Tao widened her eyes in shock. "Wha-?! But-!"

Kishin waved his hand in the air cutting her off. "You underestimate the Gotei 13 a little too much. Granted it isn't your fault since you've been in hiding all this time. The Bounts might have some semblance of power in the World of the Living , but they're biting off more than they can chew here in Soul Society. Even with the slightly unstable aftermath of Aizen's rebellion."

A look of sadness clouded over Ran'Tao's eyes as she took in his words. "Might I ask...what...happened to Kariya?"

"I killed him." Kishin straightforwardly replied.

Ran'Tao slightly flinched, having already expected that to be the outcome, however she felt a bit of pity and sympathy as she was part of the reason and cause for their creation and demise. Kishin shook his head, noting the look in Ran'Tao's eyes. "If you're that weak hearted over the death of the Bounts then I'll leave you here in the Nest of Maggots."

His words brought Ran'Tao back to reality as she recalled the deal that they were supposed to make. "Right. Have you finally come to offer me a deal?"

Kishin nodded. "That's right. Here's your options. One, join my division and work under me. We're currently missing a 4th seat officer. I'm willing to offer you that spot. The information, knowledge, and skill set you possess are worthy of at least that much."

Ran'Tao was slightly startled at Kishin's offer but she still ventured to ask, "As for my other choices?"

Kishin shook his head. "You have only one other choice. Stay here."

Ran'Tao furrowed her brow. "I can't help but feel that this is somewhat of a forced deal."

Kishin smirked and nodded. "Then you'd be right to call it a forced deal. You either take it or leave it. There is no other option left. Just consider it yourself. I let you leave and you'll be hunted down and killed by assassins. Since you've shown yourself I doubt you'd be able to escape them now. There's no way after hiding for so long that your enemy would just let you disappear again. You stay here and perhaps someone will impersonate an inmate to get close to you and kill you in here. Then your best option is to simply join under a division once more such as mine. You'll be surrounded by trained members, have allies, be free to roam, have your status as exiled lifted, and best of all, your Captain will be me. If nothing else I'm a great killer."

Ran'Tao felt a bead of sweat drip down the side of her forehead after hearing Kishin speak so nonchalantly about his skill in killing.

With how easily he can say that and how cold and ominous I feel his reiatsu to be, it's a wonder why he isn't someone who bears the title of Kenpachi…

Kishin patiently waited as he let Ran'Tao mull over her thoughts on his offer. After several minutes in silence he heard Ran'Tao sigh and say, "Very well. What you said makes perfect sense. Then...please accept me into your division, Captain Chigetsu."

Kishin simply nodded and opened the prison cell. "Then welcome to the 3rd division, Ran'Tao-san."

She stared at the open door and hesitated for a moment before finding her courage and resolve and stepped out from within her iron cage.

Kishin simply motioned for her to follow behind him. "The paperwork will be taken care of by Yushiro. The issue is your current power. Since your exile you've had your reiatsu sealed off. As you'll become a member of the 3rd division now we need to restore your powers."

Ran'Tao glanced at Kishin's back and somehow felt in this moment that she had made the right decision to join him and his division.

"How are you planning to do that?" She curiously asked.

"Easy. First we'll have to stop by the 3rd division. Then I'll send you to Akon and Kinji. With their assistance you should be able to regain the powers that were lost to you from when you were exiled."

"T-Truly?" Ran'Tao questioned curiously.

Kishin merely smirked with confidence. "It shouldn't be a problem for them to do that much."

"And who exactly are they?"

"No need to be so on guard. Akon is the 3rd officer of the 12th division and current Vice President of the Research and Development Department. As for Kinji, he is the 9th division Captain and also the Commander of the Kido Corps. With both of their knowledge and skills restoring your full powers won't be a problem."

Ran'Tao blinked a few times before commenting, "It appears...you're well connected."

It was then Kishin stopped and stood in front of Ichinose's prison cell. Ran'Tao quickly halted her own steps at his abrupt pause.

"Captain Chigetsu, what's the matter?" She curiously questioned, however he merely raised his hand signaling for her to be quiet for a moment.

Ichinose noted how Ran'Tao addressed Kishin so he couldn't help but look at them in curiosity. "You're...a Captain of the Gotei 13?"

Kishin smirked and nodded. "That's right. I'm the Captain of the 3rd division to be exact. You're Ichinose Maki correct? Former member of the 11th division back when it was under the command of Kiganjo Gosuke."

Ichinose closed his eyes at the mention of his late Captain's name recalling the memories of that time. "That's right. I'm Ichinose. Is there something I can do for you?"

Kishin thought about it for a moment before he asked, "Why did you leave the 11th division?"

With a downcast look Ichinose replied, "I...couldn't accept the way that the 11th division operated. I hated Zaraki Kenpachi for killing Captain Kiganjo. I left because I lost my way. I was searching for my purpose. I wanted to change things but...I didn't know how. I left out of frustration. I thought that I had casted all my hatred and anger away when I deserted the Gotei 13, but...after meeting and confronting Zaraki Kenpachi again I realized that I had never casted anything away. I was only fooling myself. My rage and anger and hatred for Zaraki never dissipated and I lost myself in those emotions when I faced him once more."

"Hm...I see, but you don't look like a man who has been consumed in hatred or rage. You look more like someone who is a shell lost in a sea of waves drifting along the bottom of the ocean as if you're waiting to be picked up."

Ichinose lowered his head in shame. "Yeah...I realized during my fight with Zaraki Kenpachi that...it was not that I hated him. I hated myself for being too weak to do anything. I knew what being a member of the 11th division meant and I knew what its rules were. Captain Kiganjo believed in justice and I shared his dream and vision, however I realized during my fight with Zaraki that I was not pursuing justice. It was revenge. I was blinded by my hate and weakness and was easily dragged along by sweet words and empty promises. I wish to search once more for what path to truly walk...however I'm truly useless. I have no idea where to even begin."

A moment of silence filled the room as everyone seemed to be lost in thought, however Kishin then smirked as an idea popped into his head. "Why not come with me?"

Ichinose immediately widened his eyes in shock and stared up incredulously at Kishin. "What do you mean go with you?"

Ran'Tao was also stunned, but Kishin merely continued, "You look like someone who needs a direction to follow. Being stuck down here isn't going to help you at all. Also, I heard that you fought relatively well against Captain Zaraki. Your skill and power would be wasted being trapped down here. Furthermore you're looking for a new path are you not? With everything that has happened in the Soul Society it seems that many things are beginning to change. Perhaps you can be a part of that change. What do you say?"

"But...why are you offering me such a chance?"

Kishin shrugged his shoulders. "I simply thought it would be a pity to waste your talent and skills in a place like this, but you can stay if you like."

He then began walking off with Ran'Tao in tow, but before he could walk even seven steps away he heard Ichinose shout, "Wait!"

"What is it?" Kishin indifferently replied.

"Are you...do you truly believe it is possible...for me to find a new path?"

"Sure I do. Your world view is too narrow. Before you said that you were not pursuing justice because you were instead pursuing vengeance. This is why I say your world view is too narrow. Revenge and justice are the same thing. A coin flipped heads or tails hasn't changed the value of the coin. Instead you're only choosing to look at one side and ignoring the other. The path you need to search for is not justice."

Ichinose felt his heart skip a beat at the way that Kishin put things into perspective for him. "Then...if the path I need to look for is not justice...what is it that I should be searching for?"

"Isn't it obvious? You're like a bird with wings that is too afraid to use them. The path you should be looking for is the one where you can feel at ease doing the things you want to do. Just as I am doing now." He then pointed to Ran'Tao. "See? She's a prisoner of the Nest but who cares? I'm deciding to bring her out." He then pointed to Ichinose and continue, "Even you. You're a prisoner who was just captured the other day yet I'm offering you a way out. You think I needed to discuss this with anyone else and be given permission before I make a decision? Obviously not. I'm simply doing what I want to do the way I'm comfortable doing it. In essence, the path you should be looking for is the path where you can be yourself."

Just as he turned around to leave again the sound of Ichinose dropping to his hands and knees sounded out in the dark corridor as if the light of thousands of new paths opened up before him. Kishin glanced over his shoulder and smirked. "So? What do you say? With your skills and abilities I'm willing to let you take up the position of 5th ranked officer."

Ichinose clenched his hands into fists and nodded. "If...you'll have me..." He then fiercely bowed his head inside his cell. "Please accept me as a member of your division! I wish to...I wish to see with my own eyes a different way."

A triumphant light flashed by in Kishin's eyes which Ran'Tao didn't miss picking up on. "You...manipulated him into joining didn't you?" She whispered.

Kishin merely gave a playful wink and whispered back, "Manipulated or not it's not like I lied. I really think someone of his talent would be wasted trapped in here." Without missing a beat he arrived in front of Ichinose's cell and unlocked it. "Then welcome to the 3rd division, Ichinose Maki."

No more unnecessary words were exchanged as both Ran'Tao and Ichinose followed Kishin back out of the Nest of Maggots. The first person to greet them was Yushiro as he dashed over. "Oh?! So things went well the-?!" Yushiro cut himself off and stared at Kishin in wonderment as he noted that it wasn't only Ran'Tao behind his friend, but also the traitor Ichinose Maki.

Kishin simply smiled and replied, "As you can see. Things went very well."

With a confused look Yushiro replied, "Errr...but, I mean, then-"

Kishin grinned and pointed at Ichinose. "Yeah. Sorry Yushiro but can you fill out a form for him too? I'll be taking him with me as well."

Yushiro's jaw dropped towards the ground as he was somewhat baffled at how this happened. "I mean...I, you...haaaah..." He sighed and shook his head deciding not to question Kishin's methods as he knew that Kishin always did things his own unique way. In the end he scratched the side of his cheek and nodded. "Alright. Well, I suppose it's not a problem. I already did all the paperwork for Ran'Tao anyways since I figured you'd succeed. It won't take long to get Ichinose's profile updated in our archives. Well, at least I don't have to stand guard here anymore."

Kishin nodded and started walking off with Ran'Tao and Ichinose in tow. "Thanks Yushiro."

"Mn! Good luck Kishin!" Yushiro replied whilst waving in the back.

Kishin grinned as a dark glint flashed in his eyes the moment they stepped foot outside the 2nd division. "Well fancy that. Seems we have some guests."

Ran'Tao's heart slightly trembled. "Is it...assassins?"

"Assassins? Why?" Ichinose inquired completely confused.

Kishin simply nodded his head ignoring Ichinose's confusion. "Seems to be that way. It appears your movements are being closely monitored Ran'Tao. These assassins are just as skilled as the ones from before."

Ran'Tao clenched her hands into fists. "W-What should we do?"

Kishin waved his hand nonchalantly. "Didn't I tell you earlier?"

"Eh? Tell me what earlier?"

"Heh. That your biggest perk for taking the deal was me as your Captain."

It was then Ran'Tao recalled how Kishin spoke of his ability to kill. Before she could say a thing she felt that her mind must have blacked out for a moment because one moment Kishin was in front of her and in the next he was gone.

"Wha-?! Captain Chigetsu?"

Thud.

The sound of something dropping behind her and Ichinose echoed in their ears greatly startling them. As she and Ichinose turned around they widened their eyes in shock. Lying on the ground before them were 5 dead bodies cloaked in black garments. No doubt the assassins. It was then they whipped their heads around again as Kishin's voice sounded out from where he was before as if he never left.

"Well that takes care of that. I've got to say though I'm impressed. The second they realized that they were outmatched and couldn't escape they opted to instantly kill themselves."

Ran'Tao merely blinked in shock. What happened was too much for her to take in.

He...killed them? Already? So fast!

Ichinose was just as bewildered.

Why are there assassins after Ran'Tao? What's going on?

Kishin ignored the shocked expression on their faces and continued walking off again. "If you both don't keep up then I'll leave you behind."

Ran'Tao and Ichinose quickly snapped out of their thoughts and dashed back behind him. "What about the bodies?" Ran'Tao curiously asked.

"Don't worry about that. Since it happened right by the 2nd division I asked the Onmitsukido gatekeepers to take care of it."

She gave him a questioning glance. "How is it...that you command such respect within the Onmitsukido? You seem to be on friendly terms with the Punishment Force Commander. When we walked out of the division many of the Onmitsukido members greeted you as if you were once their superior. You even have connections with the Vice President of the Research and Development Department and can ask favors of the Kido Corp Commander?"

"Does that all sound very amazing to you?"

Ran'Tao thought about it for a bit before answering, "Yes...it does. The Gotei 13 have never been a complete cohesive military entity. It has been that way since the very beginning of its founding so the fact that you have personal ties with the Kido Corps, Onmitsukido, and the Research and Development Department are somewhat shocking. I reckon that not many other Captains of the Gotei 13 would be able to say or do the same."

"Perhaps. Perhaps not. The connections I have right now weren't intentional. They simply happened to play out in my favor. Call it my luck. Or it's simply a matter that the people I grew close with happen to also be extraordinary in their own right. In fact, you yourself seem to be a person of great intellect and talent and you hold quite a bit of knowledge having served under the very first 4th division Captain herself. Perhaps you too will in time be considered a person of extraordinaire. You as well, Ichinose."

Ran'Tao was at a loss for words as she wasn't sure how to respond to that. She had only gotten to know Kishin for less than 24 hours but she felt that instead of learning more as time went on, he only seemed to become more mysterious and unfathomable. Ichinose had a similar feeling as he noted that Kishin was incredibly different from how Kiganjo Gosuke had carried himself.

Finally they had arrived back at the 3rd division grounds. Kishin had yet to find time to properly introduce himself to everyone, but then again mostly everyone in the division knew who he was already. While he only served in the 3rd division back when Ichimaru was Captain for a single year he did happen to be well known within its ranks and therefore the division members were fine with not holding an official greeting or welcoming ceremony. He was greeted left and right by everyone as they walked through the division grounds.

"Captain Chigetsu, you've returned." Kira said as he walked out from the Lieutenant's building.

Kishin waved and stepped aside revealing Ran'Tao and Ichinose behind him. "Kira, I need you to do a favor for me."

Kira gave a curious glance at the two new faces before nodding in agreement to Kishin's request. "Of course Captain. What is it you need?"

"First. Let me introduce the new 4th seat of our division, Ran'Tao and the new 5th seat officer, Ichinose Maki."

Kira was momentarily stunned at the random suddenness, however he soon nodded his head and greeted them. "Hello. I'm Kira Izuru. The Lieutenant of the 3rd division."

Ran'Tao nodded in acknowledgement. "I'm Ran'Tao. A pleasure."

"Ichinose Maki." Maki simply replied.

Whilst Kishin let them greet each other he took out two Hell Butterflies and let them fly off before continuing, "Kira, I need you to escort Ran'Tao with several other division members to help as guards to see Akon and Kinji. I just sent them a notice. Due to certain circumstances Ran'Tao has had her powers stripped from her and currently has a target painted on her back. Ichinose, you go too."

Kira widened his eyes in shock unsure of how to feel or respond, however he recollected himself a moment later deciding to place his trust in Kishin. "Very well...then I will do as you ask Captain." He then turned to Ran'Tao and said, "While I don't know what exactly is going on...the fact that Captain Chigetsu personally chose you as the 4th seat officer means you probably have some extraordinary skills and are trustworthy. I'll believe in the Captain's decision. Since you're a member of the 3rd division now we'll protect you from whoever is targeting you." He then glanced at Ichinose somewhat skeptically, but again he resolved himself to trust in Kishin's judgement. "Ichinose-san, I'll be counting on your help if things go south."

Ichinose silently nodded whilst Ran'Tao expressed her appreciation. "Thank you...then I'll be in your care."

Kira turned his attention back to Kishin and asked, "Is there anything else Captain?"

"Hmmm...well, once Ran'Tao has her powers restored please introduce her and Ichinose to the rest of the division. In the coming days I'm going to restructure the training regiment and coordination of the 3rd division's internal fighting force. So just make sure that everyone knows who they are before then. It'll make things easier."

Kira raised his eyebrow in curiosity wondering exactly what Kishin meant by restructuring the internal fighting force of the division, but in the end he simply nodded and obeyed. "Alright. Leave it to me Captain."

Kishin nodded in appreciation before walking off and waving his hand in the air. "Lieutenant Kira is capable so just leave things to him Ran'Tao. And Ichinose, perhaps you can learn a thing or two from Kira." With that he disappeared out from their sight.

He arrived soon after in front of his new office door. As things happened in quick succession since the moment he became a Captain he hadn't yet set foot in this room.

I wonder how much work I have to do…?

With great reluctance he opened the door, but to his shock he saw nothing. Well, not nothing nothing but nothing as in no work. The room was simple with a bookshelf to the left, a soft rug in the middle of the room with a couch to the right of the room. There was a coffee table on top of the rug and in the back end of the room was a window that overlooked the courtyard with a wooden desk in front of it with NO paperwork.

Kishin inwardly rejoiced as he slowly entered the room and over to the table. With his right hand he softly ran his fingers over the smooth table top with a giant grin on his face. "It seems...that I should thank Kira. He remained diligent and didn't let the work pile up taking care of all matters in the 3rd division even with Gin gone. He even did the work required of the Captain."

A playful glint then flashed in his eyes as he quickly dodged to his left as the loud shout of Rukia's voice echoed behind him.

"Ha!-Eh?!" She exclaimed as she attempted to surprise him with a tackling hug, but he had moved out of the way before she could succeed and crashed on top of the wooden table.

"Ooft…" She groaned from the impact.

Kishin smirked and quickly returned to his original position leaning down and pinning her right onto the desk from behind.

"Ack! K-Kishin!"

"Yes?" He teasingly replied.

She squirmed and wriggled but to no avail. Her hands were pinned down by her shoulders by Kishin's large hands. His chest pressed down into her back keeping her stomach pinned down on his desk whilst her legs laid trapped between his thighs. She was effectively immobilized. She could feel the warmth of his breath tickling down her neck causing goosebumps to appear on her skin.

"Kishin...get off."

"No."

"Kishin."

"Nope." He merely replied while leaving a soft kiss on the nape of her neck. "You promised that you'd spend time with me when you got back. Well, you're back but you immediately left with your brother back to the Manor."

Rukia bit the bottom of her lip as she warmly shuddered from the feeling of his teeth grazing and nipping her neck. "I...Mmmm...I came here for that reason. Unf...Kishin…" She started to heavily breathe from the way he was working on her body.

He leaned forward a little more enough to reach her lips and showered her with soft gentle kisses. "So you're here to finally be with me?"

She moaned into his lips and nodded her head. "Mhm. Nnnfff...we can't...Kishin. Wait."

He frowned and released his hold on her, finally letting her off of his desk, but when she turned around thinking that he was stopping she yelped completely startled as he grabbed her and shoved her down on the couch nearby.

"Wha-? Unnnfff...Kishin, wait-Ahhh!" She squirmed under his touch as his hand snaked down between her legs.

"Wait this wait that. No! All I've done is wait! I just want YOU senpai."

She closed her eyes and nodded her head wrapping her arms around his neck. "I-I know."

Kishin growled into her ear. "Do you?! I feel like you've been avoiding me...like you don't even want me anymore…"

She squeezed his neck tighter and hooked her legs around his waist pulling his body close to hers. "You idiot! Don't go making assumptions on your own. When have I ever given you that kind of impression?"

Kishin didn't reply as he pouted and buried his face into the crook of her neck. She smirked at his silence knowing that he was fighting against his emotions and trying not to scare her away with some extreme thought of his. After a good long minute of the two of them simply holding each other in a tight embrace they finally parted and sat on the couch like normal.

"So...what now?" Kishin awkwardly asked.

Rukia fidgeted in place on the couch also unsure of how to act. A moment ago Kishin made her all hot and bothered, but then she asked him to stop because she wanted to talk to him. The problem was she forgot what she was going to say because all she could think about was how good the feeling of his touch was. Her cheeks started turning red as she thought about what would have happened in this very room if they had continued.

Kishin cocked his head to the side and stared amusedly at her being embarrassed. "Are you okay senpai?"

Rukia immediately became flustered and waved her hands in front of her defensively. "Huh? Ah? Oh, y-yeah! Of course. Ahem. I-I'm fine. I was not thinking about anything indecent so rest assured."

Kishin just gave her a curious glance as a warm fuzzy feeling filled him up. He couldn't help falling for her cute little antics and it made him wonder what was wrong with him. In the end he couldn't stay mad or frustrated at her. She was doing her best to be a Shinigami and a member of the Kuchiki Clan. He had no right to stop her and stunt her progress, but he was a bit unhappy that he was being momentarily sidelined. Then again...he had no family and didn't have to deal with trying to care for a lot of other people's feelings and whatnot so it wasn't his place to judge and berate Rukia for spending less time with him in the recent days.

Rukia noted that Kishin didn't respond to her as he simply stared at her with confused yet warm eyes. Seeing that made her finally calm down and helped her gather her thoughts again. She scooted closer to him and placed her hand atop of his. "Kishin...so you're a Captain now…"

He smiled and nodded. "Yeah." He softly replied.

"How did that happen?" She curiously asked.

"Heh. I'm exceptional!"

She pouted at his answer as he gave her a playful wink. He noted her dissatisfaction at his answer so he grinned and pulled her into his chest. He lightly rested his chin atop of her head and continued, "Well, to be honest you didn't miss that much. I was only officially made a Captain yesterday you know."

Rukia blinked with surprised eyes. "Really? Then...I guess I really didn't miss that much. I even returned to Soul Society two days earlier to chase after the Bounts. I'm sorry I didn't contact you. I should have been there to congratulate you on your promotion."

Kishin softly squeezed his arms around her body. "It's fine senpai. I'm the one who ended up letting you take on the mission to investigate the matter in Karakura Town. You were just doing your job and prioritized your mission and the safety of the Soul Society."

Rukia softly sighed and lightly gripped his arms apologetically. "Even still...I wasn't there for you on one of your big days."

"Heh. I'm heartbroken. So heartbroken that I feel abandoned by you senpai." He teasingly replied.

Rukia huffed and lightly elbowed his ribs. "B-Baka! You're purposefully rubbing salt on my wound."

"Haha, well if you keep sulking like that then you make it easy for me to play the victim."

Rukia merely smirked at his playful banter. "Still. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. You can still make it up to me."

She nodded beneath his chin. "I know. I'm trying to do that now. I don't want you to think that I'm neglecting you or anything. I just had a lot of things to juggle around between performing my duties as both a Shinigami and as a Noble. And...ahem...doing my best to convince Nii-sama to let me see you."

Kishin sighed at the mention of Byakuya's name. "Your brother is...a handful."

Rukia smirked and poked his arm. "Nii-sama is just...well...Nii-sama."

Kishin grinned and said, "Do you know what your brother told me?"

Rukia simply blinked having no idea what they could have talked about. "Why? What did he say?"

A mischievous flash of light passed by his eyes as he continued, "After I introduced myself as an official Captain of the Gotie 13 during my first Captain's meeting your brother told me not to overstep my bounds."

"Eh? Not to overstep your bounds? Like wha-..." Rukia immediately cut herself off as she quickly understood the underlying meaning behind Byakuya's warning to Kishin. By not overstepping his bounds would mean to not engage in any sort of intimate physical interactions. She recalled how Byakuya seemed ready to rip Kishin's head off when he saw him simply rest his hand atop of her shoulders.

"Haha..ha…" Rukia nervously laughed as it was really really too late for that. She glanced up at Kishin with her cute violet eyes and worryingly said, "We cannot let Nii-sama know about...ahem...what w-we've done…"

Kishin smirked and slowly began to let his hands roam freely around her body. "Does that mean," he licked behind her earlobe, "I shouldn't," he left a trail of wet kisses down her neck ending right at her shoulders and whispered, "leave any marks?"

Rukia felt a warm shiver down her spine as she leaned back into his chest. "You...are going to get me in trouble." She heavily breathed out.

His right hand tilted her chin up to face him as he dipped down his head and claimed her lips with his own. "I was never a very good follower of the rules." He seductively growled.

"Mmmmmmm…" Rukia hummed against his lips and buried her head into his chest. "I missed you." She finally let out.

"Me too." He quietly replied gently caressing the side of her cheeks. "How long are you planning to spend time with me?"

Rukia gave a thoughtful look before replying, "As long as I can give?"

Kishin slightly frowned at her answer. "That's not very specific. That can range anywhere from one hour to one week."

"Hehe, then how about we just set a schedule?"

Kishin perked up at her suggestion. "Are you suggesting we set a time to meet each other every day?"

Rukia poked his cheeks and shook her head amusedly. "Nice try Kishin, but I was thinking once every week to start with. After all, now that you're no longer the Lieutenant of the 13th division I need to find out how things are going to be managed. Plus, you're the Captain of the 3rd division now so I'm sure you've got some things you need to be doing as well. On top of that, there's the issue of everyone preparing themselves in the coming fight against Aizen and his army of Menos. And last but not least, Ichigo, Ishida, Inoue, Sado, and Karin are here in Soul Society. We need to find out exactly what they plan to do and send them home. It's best if they don't get involved in our fight against Aizen."

Kishin sighed and rested his head against her shoulders. "Always the voice of reason aren't you...well, regarding the involvement of Ichigo and the others, it might be impossible."

Rukia blinked and questioned, "What do you mean?"

"Guess I'll fill you in since this information was only discovered recently. Aizen is planning to create the Oken by sacrificing 100,000 souls on an enriched spiritual zone which happens to be Karakura Town. Ichigo and the others are now involved by default. The question is how exactly will they react to this news and what will they plan to do about it."

Rukia widened her eyes in shock at this revelation. "Then...was a counter plan discussed at the Captains meeting?"

Kishin sighed and leaned back against the couch. "Sort of."

Rukia tilted her head to the side at Kishin's reaction. "You don't seem to like the plan that was discussed."

"Well...I don't, but then again I suppose the Captain Commander and the others have a point. Currently Mayuri is building a fake Karakura Town and Urahara is creating a Tenkai Kecchu to transport the real one in a remote place here in the Soul Society. When Aizen arrives in the World of the Living to begin his creation of the Oken he'll be in a fake Town instead of the real one."

Rukia nodded in understanding. "I see. And you don't like this plan because?"

"If the Hogyoku awakens in 4 months-well, 3 months now. But if we simply wait until that time then wouldn't it just give Aizen time to prepare his armies? I figured it'd be best to charge into Hueco Mundo before Aizen has finished gathering and strengthening his subordinates, wiping them all out in one clean swoop."

Rukia furrowed her brow deep in thought as she let Kishin's idea sink in. "That would make the most logical sense, but why was your idea rejected?"

"The issue is entering and leaving Hueco Mundo. Since Aizen has aligned himself with the Menos he can easily gain access to the Garganta and travel between realms with ease. We on the other hand can't. If we enter Hueco Mundo and Aizen knows he could simply leave and fulfill his goals."

"Ah...so that's why. This is a bit problematic. Finding out how the Garganta works would be a tall task. The mysteries behind that form of travel still remain largely unknown to this day. Many Shinigami have tried to recreate it but have all failed. Or so I've heard."

The two of them remained completely silent and simply took a moment to enjoy being in the company of each other's arms. It was then he heard a jingle from his denreishinki. Rukia blinked and stared at him with questioning eyes. "Who's sending you a message at a time like this?"

Kishin just shook his head. "Don't know."

Fwip.

He flipped open his device and read the contents of the message before he realized that it was nearly 7pm. Rukia noticed his somewhat guilty, astonished, and reluctant look. "Is something wrong?"

Kishin put his denreishinki away and held Rukia tighter. "Earlier today Captain Amagai asked to treat Toshiro and I to dinner to repay his thanks for when we temporarily took over the 5th division's work. I ended up agreeing, but...now that you're here and can spend some time with me I don't want to go."

Rukia blinked several times before letting out a light laugh. "Pffft, hahaha! Kishin, I'm happy that you want to spend so much time with me and believe me, I want to spend my time with you too, but isn't it unhealthy if you neglect everyone else just for me."

He grinned and shook his head. "Can't I be selfish just for you?"

She smirked and squeezed his hands. "Mhm. You can be selfish all you want for me because then I can be just as selfish as I want when it comes to you too!"

He poked her nose and grinned. "Then, that means I'll just have to turn them down and-"

"Kishin, Toshiro is your friend isn't he? You shouldn't leave him alone like that. Oh, and by the way who is this Captain Amagai?"

A lightbulb clicked in Kishin's head as he realized that Rukia hadn't yet been informed of the new Captains. "Right. Aside from me the new Captain of the 5th division is Amagai Shusuke and the new 9th division Captain is Kinji. Anyways, don't switch topics on me senpai. You just said I can be selfish for you so I want to stay here with you."

She reached up with her hands and pulled down his head so she could peck him on the cheek.

Muah!

"We'll have plenty of time together. Remember our talk about a schedule? How about we meet at the end of every week? We'll spend the entire day together. Just us."

Kishin's lips involuntarily curled into a smile as he nodded. "Fine. You win. Then let's do that." He reluctantly let her out of his arms and stood up to head for the door, but just as he was about to step outside he paused and curiously asked, "Senpai, have you ever been outside and explored the Wild Lands of Soul Society?"

"The Wild Lands? Huh...well, no. It's not a place often explored by the Gotei 13. Actually I don't really know much about the Wild Lands."

"I see. Then you probably never heard of the Canyon of Rift and Sorrow either right?"

Rukia tilted her head to the side in cluelessness. "No...what is that? A place in the Wild Lands?"

Kishin nodded his head. "It was the place where The Great Hollow War took place nearly 870 years ago. Senpai, the Kuchiki Clan is responsible for documenting the history of the Soul Society right?"

Rukia nodded her head. "That's right. Ah, do you want me to see if I can look up information regarding The Great Hollow War and the Canyon of Rift and Sorrow?"

Kishin smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I'm sort of interested in that part of the Soul Society's history so...if it's not too much to ask."

Rukia shook her head. "Consider it done. Is the information regarding this place urgent?"

"No, not really. It's more to fulfill my own personal interest and curiosity. That's all."

"I see...then, I'll take a look through the Clan's archives when I have some time."

"Thanks senpai. You're the best!"

She gave him a beaming smile feeling warm and giddy at his compliment. "Baka! This is nothing."

It was then Kishin recalled something else and awkwardly scratched the side of his cheek.

"What?" Rukia curiously asked.

"Ahem. Actually I just thought of something."

"What is it?"

"Errr, could you also check the Kuchiki Clan's archive to see what you can find about the war with the Quincys about 1000 years ago?"

Rukia tilted her head in confusion and somewhat startled at his question. "War with the Quincys 1000 years ago? Did...something like that also happen?"

Kishin shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure either. It's just something I heard about from Ran'Tao."

"Eh? Ran'Tao? As in the one responsible for the creation of the Bounts? When did you talk to her?"

"Before I found you in Northern Rukongai. Anyways we made a deal and now she's the new 4th officer of the 3rd division."

Rukia widened her eyes in shock. "W-What?! Is that...alright?"

Kishin thought about how Ran'Tao was being targeted by assassins that were very likely hired from a Noble family and shook his head unsure if it was the right move himself. "Honestly senpai? I don't know, but there's no doubt that she has some value and can contribute to the Gotei 13. Especially for my division."

Rukia had a somewhat sour look on her face as she quietly mumbled, "And she's also very pretty…"

Kishin smirked and immediately stepped away from the door shoving Rukia right into the couch.

FWUMP!

"Ah! Kishin?!" She grumbled both startled and amused.

He pinned her right beneath his body and began laying wet smooth kisses all over her body.

"Ah! Haha! Kishin! St-...haaaah...mmmmm! That feels good…"

He grinned and licked the base of her neck trailing his tongue all the way up to the corner of her lips tasting the sweet and somewhat saltiness of her skin. She shuddered in his arms and lightly whimpered beneath his touch. Their breathing grew heavy in the wake of their foreplay as Kishin groaned with aching pleasure when he felt Rukia softly rub her thigh up against his growing erection. He clenched his teeth and decided that Toshiro would completely understand if he decided to skip out on the dinner. In the end he sent a quick message to Toshiro with his denreishinki telling him that something came up and he wouldn't make it. Without another look at his communication device he dropped it on the floor and cradled Rukia into his arms.

She took in a heavy breath of air as she buried her face into the crook of his neck leaving light airy kisses on him. "Kishin...hah...hah...you'll be late."

He grinned and disappeared with her in his arms, arriving in his new Captain's living quarters quickly shutting and locking the door behind him. As he hadn't yet had time to redecorate, his room was plain and simple looking. The room itself wasn't incredibly large. The floors were styled with light tan colored tatami mats with a brown colored bed frame and a white colored mattress and bedsheets placed low to the ground. The walls were a light green tea color and a small wooden table stood off to the right of the sliding panel entrance door. A painting of a persimmon tree was hung up on the wall above the head of the bed.

Although this was what the room currently looked like Kishin and Rukia didn't even pay attention as he simply located the bed and laid her down on it. Without missing a single beat the sound of his Captain's Haori and the top half of his shihakusho hitting the ground echoed in the small cozy room.

XXX

"Kishin...haaah...what about-mmpf!"

He simply cut her off by claiming her lips with his own. His tongue entered her mouth without resistance massaging the top of her own soft silky tongue. They moaned and groaned from the feel of each other's body heating up in between them. His right hand kept his body slightly propped up above her chest so he wouldn't crush her under his weight whilst his left hand found the string by her waist as his fingers nimbly and expertly untied the sash that kept her clothes together. Just as her shihakusho came loosely undone they finally parted lips. A wet string of saliva kept their tongues in contact as they stared at one another in the eyes. Lust and passion and longing were reflected in Rukia's cool pure violet eyes and Kishin's crystal diamond golden ones. They both breathed heavily as if they were starved of air. Then again from what they just did it wasn't that far off from the truth.

Kishin finally found the words to respond to her earlier question as he answered, "I already told them I couldn't make it. It's just dinner anyways. It's not as important as you."

Rukia madly blushed at his words as a burning fire began to rage inside of her. She ran her hands along his chiseled chest and body feeling the indents and curves of his godly defined muscles. "Are you sure that's okay?" She struggled to ask as she felt herself become soaking wet beneath her hakama anticipating what was to come.

Her light airy touch caused his breath to slightly hitch as he started to crave for more physical contact. He groaned and without warning, he knelt up on the bed pulling Rukia up with him. In one fluid motion he slipped off her loose shihakusho and threw it on the ground where his Haori currently lay.

"Stop asking questions. It's just you and me right now." He responded with a somewhat hurried breath.

It was then he noticed that she wasn't wearing a bra and something clicked in his head. "S-Senpai...were you...did you…"

She blushed and quickly brought her hands up to cover her breasts. "I-Its been a while since we last...and I wanted to surprise you...I didn't know what to get you for your promotion to Captaincy…Eh?" She questioned near the end as she suddenly felt something poking against her stomach. "K-Kishin?"

He simply growled and shoved her back down on the bed pulling her hands away from her chest. "Don't cover yourself up! I want to see you."

Rukia turned her head to the side avoiding the gaze in his eyes as she anxiously said, "They...they aren't big at all...I-I know that they probably don't satisfy you...I do-AH!"

He immediately cut her off by sucking directly on her left hardened nipple. The only words escaping Rukia's lips now were moans and pants as he swirled his tongue around her knob sucking and pulling and nipping, grazing his teeth every now and then along her silky breast while kneading his hand in her other.

"Ohhhhh...hah! Mmmpfff!" She couldn't help letting out moans of pleasure causing Kishin to smirk against the valley of her chest.

He planted rough impassioned kisses there and said with a dark lustful voice, "Don't you ever dare think that these don't satisfy me! They are just as much mine as they are yours!"

Rukia groaned again as she felt him squeeze a bit harder around her breasts and could only nod in agreement. She wasn't about to argue with him when he always made her feel so good! Not only with how he stimulated her body everywhere he touched, but how he made her feel good about her body. He made her feel more confident and comfortable in simply being herself and that knowledge made her feel just as pleasurable as when he pushed her buttons. In fact, his constant acknowledgement and assurance only made her more sensitive to his touch.

I...ahhhh! I want to make him feel good too! Oooohhh god why is he so good at this? Mmmppfff!

She bit her lip and fought to control the rhythm of their current situation as she rubbed her thigh up against the tent of his hakama. Kishin widened his eyes in shock and paused what he was doing as he felt a wave of pleasure course through his body from her actions. Rukia grinned in triumph and took that opportunity to push up and roll them over forcing them to switch positions so she could be on top. Once more Kishin was startled and shocked as she was definitely stronger than she looked.

Rukia mischievously smirked and placed a finger to his lips to stop him from saying anything. "Just wait, Kishin. I want to make you feel good too!"

His eyes instantly wavered with desire as he swallowed down his saliva with want. Rukia felt her heart beating a thousand miles a minute as it was her first time ever being so dominant. Kishin bit his lips seeing her nervousness and said, "Rukia, it's okay. You don-"

"No!" She immediately cut him off. "I-I just need a second."

She deeply breathed calming her nerves before seeing the loving look in his eyes. His gaze gave her the courage she needed to continue on and so she slowly bent down and kissed his neck. It was a bit awkward at first since she wasn't sure what she was doing. She was simply trying to remember how Kishin worked on her own body and tried to do the same to him, though she wasn't even sure if it would bring about the same results. The low groan that came from Kishin's throat however fueled her confidence and unknowingly, her nervousness and awkwardness started to melt away. Instead she began to move with the flow and licked down his nape before crossing right over to his adams apple.

Kishin shut his eyes heightening his physical senses feeling the warm soft grates of her tongue massaging against his skin and muscles. He never imagined that he'd be so turned on by what Rukia was doing to him at this moment. As he felt her move down lower and lower across his chest, licking his abs, and kissing the deep V-lines running into his hakama he couldn't take the teasing anymore. Even though hakama's were fairly loose his hardened member was still tensely straining against the article of clothing.

"Rukia." He growled darkly causing her heart to fiercely pound against her chest.

She could feel his giant member poking through his hakama right up against her breasts causing her to shudder at the memory of just how large it was and how it felt to have it inside of her. Without wasting another second she untied his red obi sash and slipped off his hakama from beneath him freeing his engorged erect pole. Her breath caught in her throat as she swallowed down her saliva with both hesitation and anticipation.

H-He's way too big! N-No way he fit that into me before! A-And it's been so long since we last had sex!

Her eyes wavered in nervousness, but the longer she stared the more she grew to want him. She remembered the complete fullness of him inside of her. The burning passion and pleasure that wracked her body every time he thrusted into her. A throbbing ache began to pulsate deep inside her stomach. Biting her lip and swallowing down her hesitance she slipped off her own hakama becoming just as bare naked as he was. It was also at that moment when Kishin sat up to see why she had stopped, and what he saw left him speechless and desirous. He took in her perfectly soft milky skin and athletic petite body, but what really caught his attention was the pooling wet fluid that was dripping down between her legs. He was just about to make a comment when he widened his eyes in shock at her next action. She had knelt down between his legs and gripped his cock between her hands.

"UUUUUFFFFF! R-Rukia..." He shakily breathed out.

Rukia's hands trembled around him feeling his member throb inside her palms. She failed to close her fists around his meaty girth as the heat and weight of it unknowingly made her drool a bit. She began to pump both of her hands up and down along his thick veiny shaft eliciting heavy growls from Kishin's throat. He involuntarily bucked his hips into her silky palms every so often to create more friction.

His head leaned back as he groaned out, "You can...haaah...you can squeeze harder senpai...unffff! And move faster-ugghhh! Like...uhh, like that!" His breathing quickened at her ministrations feeling a fire building between his legs.

Rukia became wetter and hotter as she watched how hot and bothered Kishin was becoming under her touch. The way his abs and muscles contracted was mesmerizing. The sound of his shaky breathing fueled her courage and without knowing what came over her, she dipped down her head and sucked him.

"Rukia wai-!" He attempted to stop her, but it was too late. He immediately shut his eyes and gripped the bed sheets by his side.

"FUCK!" He cursed aloud as he felt her wet cavern struggle to take in his mushroom head. The heat and wetness of her mouth was amazing! The softness of her tongue moving and lapping against the veins of his cock coupled with the forceful sucking of her lips! It was a sloppy blowjob, sure, but it drove him mad nonetheless. He couldn't help gripping the sides of her shoulders doing his best not to shove her head down his massive cock. He didn't want her to choke, but he was seriously having trouble holding back his physical urge.

Saliva and pre-cum began to drip down the sides of Rukia's lips as she couldn't take more than three inches of him in her mouth. She'd gag and choke if she took anymore than that so she continued to use her right hand to pump the rest of his cock that she couldn't suck off whilst her left hand rested against his waist to keep her body steady. Just then she felt Kishin begin to push against her shoulders and off of his member as he struggled to breathe out, "St-Stop...Stop! I'm going to cum if you keep going Rukia."

Pop!

With one final push he managed to get Rukia off of his dick whilst huffing and puffing to calm down from the pleasure that she gave him. Rukia also deeply breathed restoring her air circulation as she slowly wiped off the pre-cum and saliva from the side of her lips and nervously questioned, "W-Was it not good enough?"

Kishin just growled at how clueless she was and forcefully shoved her down into the mattress.

"Shut up senpai! You have no idea how crazy I'm going for you!" He then roughly kissed her lips before giving her an encouraging and warm gentle look. "Don't ever doubt yourself and what you do to me! Just a single touch from you is enough to make me want you." He didn't wait for her to reply and immediately dipped down below her waist planting soft and wet kissing against her labia.

"Rukia, you're so dripping wet, but it's been awhile so I need you to cum for me okay?"

She shuddered and simply nodded, unable to form coherent words as he smirked and instantly shoved his tongue deep inside of her.

"Hnnnngggghhh!" The whimpering cries and moans of her voice made Kishin work faster and faster as he flicked his tongue up and down and left and right to taste her smooth curvaceous walls. His right hand rested against her clit pressing down and rubbing in deep concentric circles. She was bucking and squirming and writhing beneath him feeling a volcano building up to eruption.

"Kishiiin! Aaaaahhh! It's-It's too much!"

He grinned and shoved two fingers inside of her and began to move his tongue in circles. He knew she was getting close from the way her vagina began to clench and tense around his tongue and fingers. With one final stretch he pushed his skilled long fingers right up against her G-Spot causing her to let out a deafening cry in orgasmic bliss. Kishin continued to lap up her juices for several long seconds before he licked back up her body, leaving a wet trail of saliva from her now incredibly soaked entrance right up to the corner of her lips.

"You're ready now." He whispered in her ear.

She simply took in an exasperated breath and nodded. "Please Kishin! I need you!" She whimpered whilst bucking up her hips.

"Me too." He lowly growled out.

A light green glow formed a thin membranous barrier around his cock before he slowly guided himself into her wet folds. Once more Rukia opened her mouth and let out a moan as she felt him split apart her entrance. Every inch that entered her caused her to feel a burning pleasurable pressure. Even with Kishin preparing her inside cavern he still entered her incredibly slowly so as not to rip her apart from his intrusion.

"Ugh...Rukia! Haah...haaah...you're...unfff...it always feels so good inside of you! Always so tight and wet!"

Her legs trembled and quaked beneath him as she gripped his neck tight in her arms. She did her best to spread wide her legs to make it easier on his massive cock. "Kishin...Ahhhhhh! It's been so long since we-HHHHMMMMmmmm!" The whimpers she let out were blissfully high pitched.

"Oh god I missed you!" She heavily breathed out towards the end.

Kishin finally stopped pushing in, deciding not to enter her all the way cause if he did then he'd be shoving right up against her cervix. He didn't want to overstimulate her just yet. He wanted to make love to her first. To feel their sweating bodies moving and grinding in the wake of their passion. After letting Rukia get used to him again for several long moments he kissed her cheek and asked, "Ready?"

Rukia simply nodded. "I'm ready-AH!" She yelped aloud as he pulled back his hips and thrusted. He gripped the bed sheets above her head whilst she clung onto his back and shoulders. Her head was buried right into his chest as he was a little more than an entire foot taller than her. The sound of his balls rhythmically slapping against her butt cheeks made crisp clear noises in the room. His low grunting entered Rukia's ears as her moaning whimpers egged him on. He continued to pump into her, never shoving himself fully inside. Even though he barely avoided pounding against her cervix this way he still continuously rubbed against her G-spot. It made Rukia go wild as he was always hitting her where she felt the most sensitive.

He felt her begin to clench tightly around him and knew that she was getting close. He could feel his own climax approaching so he started to pick up the pace, that was when he heard Rukia struggle to pant out, "H-Harder…"

"Fuck!" He cursed and immediately propped himself up on his arms. He laced his fingers through her own and pinned her hands above her head. Now propped up at arm's length away the added height allowed him to thrust even fiercer than before.

"Kishi-OH! OH GOD!"

Before Rukia could ask him to thrust even harder he squeezed her hands and lifted his hips before harshly slamming back down right into her.

"Fuck! Rukia! You're clenching so tightly! Ugh! You're mine you hear me? Fucking mine! Go ahead, tell me you want it hard and rough!" He shakily breathed out slamming in and out of her now shoving as much of his cock that she could take right into her warm wet cavern.

Rukia's eyes immediately rolled back into her head as she felt him finally push right into her cervix. Her entire body immediately shook from the over shocking stimulation that each of his forceful thrusts was bringing her. She flailed on the mattress from how deep he was hitting with every slam of his hips. Her legs shook on either side of his waist as her arms remained stuck beneath his hold. She clenched her fingers where their hands were intertwined with what little strength she had left. "Oh God! FFFFffffff-Kishin! UH! Mmmpff! I-Oh! I love it! Ahhh! It's too much! It's! It's! C-CUM-CUMMING!"

Kishin grunted and felt her walls immediately clench around him pushing him over the edge. He immediately dropped down on his elbows and cradled her into his chest as he pushed one more time to bury his massive cock deep inside of her.

"Nggghhhh!" He groaned and shook, bucking his hips into her cervix. After shooting several long strands of cum into the membranous barrier around his cock he slowly removed himself from inside her vagina. Rukia laid on the mattress huffing and panting with her eyes closed as sweat dripped down all over her body. Kishin's own sweaty chest was moving heavily up and down as he worked to calm his post orgasmic high. With a quick flourish of his hand the barrier around his cock was removed and was immediately replaced with another. He stared down at Rukia with desirous eyes. His member still incredibly hard. Without warning he gripped her side and flipped her onto her stomach.

"Wha-? Wait, Kishin?" She questioned confusedly with a winded breath.

He merely growled and hovered atop of her back. His arms stationed on either side of her whilst he dipped down and claimed her lips.

"We aren't done yet. Rukia." His voice had a mischievously dark sounding seductive tone to it causing Rukia's entire body to tremble. He merely grinned and snaked down one of his hands to rest along her stomach. "On your hands and knees senpai."

She whimpered with anticipation and immediately did as he commanded. Kishin instantly licked his lips as he stared at her smooth peach shaped ass. Without warning he gripped her tiny waist and shoved his cock into her soaking pussy from behind.

"AH!" Rukia cried out in shock and pleasure as she felt him hit all of her deepest spots from a different angle.

"Ki-Mmmm...ahhhh! This is...haaah...this position is embarrassing…"

Kishin simply growled and slammed his hips into hers even harder generating another cry of pleasure from her lips as he continued to pound into her doggy style.

"I'm not letting you go today Rukia! Tonight! Unf!" He slammed into her so hard that her arms gave out causing her to face-plant into the mattress. He pressed down his body right into her back and planted rough wet kisses all over her shoulder and neck. "Tonight you're all mine! I'm going to fuck you until you can't scream anymore. I'm going to show you how much you mean to me."

He pumped his cock into her core eliciting mewls and moans from her soft plump lips as he gripped her hand and placed it against his pounding heart. "Can you feel it senpai? How hard my heart is beating for you? I'm going to make you feel good. Okay? Tonight, it's just you and me."

Rukia was lost for words. She hadn't really registered what Kishin was saying on a conscious level due to the constant stimulation she was receiving from his large and powerful thrusting cock, but she subconsciously seemed to understand as she simply nodded her head and shakily breathed out, "M-More…"

A loud hissing noise filled her ears as Kishin sucked in a deep breath of air between his teeth losing his mind at how adorable and sexy she was when asking for more.

"Fuck! Rukia you're driving me crazy!" He immediately shoved nearly the entirety of his cock into her pussy from behind with every thrust pushing against her cervix every single time. Rukia could barely scream now as she had to struggle just to breathe. She could feel him in her so deep that it was as if he was in her stomach.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

The sound of his hung balls smacking against her clit caused both of them to groan. Rukia gripped the sheets in front of her so tightly that her knuckles began to turn white. She was close! Oh so very close! The way that Kishin pounded into her with reckless abandon. The rough yet still loving way that he fucked her. God she loved him!

"I'm-Ah! Oh God Oh God Oh God!"

Kishin grunted and grabbed both of her arms holding them up behind her, hoisting her body off of the mattress. He slammed his hips into hers faster and faster causing her breasts to wildly jostle around and her back to arch upwards. Her hair flew everywhere as her head flung back. He could feel her building towards release so he panted out encouragingly, "I know baby! I know! Just hold out a little longer!" He groaned and grunted pistoning his giant shaft in and out of her slick wet cavern.

"Kishin! I-I CAN'T! I don't know if I-OOHHH! Ahhhh! P-Please!" The sound of her begging for his permission to cum at the end drove him nearly insane.

He grunted and knew that she wouldn't last. He was getting close himself so he immediately pulled her all the way up and spun her around right on his cock so they were facing each other once again. Rukia immediately wrapped her arms around his neck to keep herself from falling backwards whilst he hooked his arms beneath her thighs and gripped her milky waist, slamming her down onto his large veiny cock while bucking upwards at the same time in his kneeling position.

"AAHHH! IT'S SO GOOOOD!" Rukia screamed at the top of her lungs from how forceful and pleasurable the new position made her feel. Their bodies glistened with sweat as each thrust of their bodies splashed the salty wetness everywhere around them. Rukia's hair was completely disheveled with multiple strands covering and sticking to the side of her face and lips. Her mouth hung open and her eyes shut tight. Her head leaned back and her legs hung loose. She no longer had the strength to do anything except for keeping her arms wrapped tightly around Kishin's shoulders so she wouldn't fall down from their intimate position.

"I-haaaah...I…" Rukia couldn't speak anymore as she could only heavily breathe.

Kishin roughly plowed into her cervix several more times slamming down her waist onto his massive cock and growled, "Cum Rukia! It's okay now. Cum as much as you want right on my cock. Don't hold back baby!"

His words were instant freedom as she immediately arched her back and forcefully threw back her head screaming with whatever voice she had left, "AHHHHHH!" Her entire body shook uncontrollably as her thighs began to quake and spasm from her fiercely squirting on his cock.

Kishin let out his own scream in ecstasy as he reached his own climax a split second later. "HUFFFFF-Uhhhhh! NNNGGH!" He tightened his grip around her waist, definitely leaving a mark on her body as he kept her quivering pussy locked deep against his pulsating cock. It wasn't until nearly 12 seconds had passed when they both regained their calm.

Rukia laid completely limp within Kishin's arms, her face buried deep into the crook of his neck too weak to move. He gently stroked her back and slowly laid her down on the bed. They took a moment to gaze into each other's eyes from what was definitely the most wild and rough sex that they had ever had.

"Kishin." Rukia struggled to breath aloud.

"Yeah." He huskily breathed back.

She smiled at his sweaty yet incredibly handsome face and said, "Congratulations on becoming a Captain."

His heart skipped a beat at how cute she looked when saying that and immediately, his penis became rock hard once more. Rukia's cheeks flushed bright red as her eyes opened wide in shock from feeling his large member poking her stomach. "You...are you…"

A lustful and mischievous look flashed by in his eyes as he gave her a simple reply. "I told you didn't I? That tonight, you're all mine!"

"AH! Hahaha! Kishin!" She laughed and moaned as he immediately reclaimed her lips with his own.

MISC.

Now the chapter was somewhat slow but needed for other paths to be paved in the future. Karin has been exposed to the world of Shinigami. How will that impact her life later on? And maybe Ichigo's life as well?

The matter with the Bounts is over but what about Ran'Tao? Who wants her dead? And Kishin has picked up two new members for his division.

What might Rukia discover in the history documented by the Kuchiki Clan archives? Ahem...when she and Kishin are finished copulating that is. If only Byakuya wasn't so clueless a raging petal storm would be razing Soul Society to the ground right now.

What will Amagai's fate be? In the same manner, what will Hinamori's fate be?
