A/N - Responding to the reviews last chapter.

FafaCute: "Wowww. It's longer chapter than usual .. thank you. Could it be Ichigo fell in love? (๑•﹏•) How many boys are fighting for rukia's heart? I can't wait to read the next chapterヾ(*'O'*)/ " - 4 boys will fall for Rukia. You'll find out the other three later on.

Guest: "Damn that was hot *_* so the name of the story is the name of the painting ichigo saw when he was a child. I wonder if this detail is important to the story. I think I enjoy shorter chapters more, but I quite like longer ones as well ! Thanks for the update" - Yes, the painting will have a big role in the story. It's connects all the characters and Rukia together in a unique way.

Ichirukitrash4ever: "I wonder who will be the next guy that will be smitten by Rukia and I wonder how this "harem" will go knowing Ichigo is getting possesive on Rukia already. I bet he'll ask Kyouraku to make Rukia exclusive only for him. This is getting interested! And I'm curious how will Rukia handle these attention she'll get, bet other girls would be upset and gang up on her. Looking forward to the next chapter! And thank you for the consistent update!" Well the next guy is introduced after this chapter! And thank you for your consistent reviews! I actually have most of the story already finished before I started posting on here, that's why I'm able to be update everyday/other day. I don't want to be like other stories that never get finished!

jobananasan:"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'M SCREAMING! OH MY FUCKING GOD, I'M SCREAMING! *breathe* *breathe* *breathe*

Okay, the smut *chef's kiss* I was on the edge of my seat anticipating so much, what each of them were going to do, how Rukia was going to react being that it's her first time, waiting to see if Ichigo was going to find out if she were a virgin and his reaction to that fact, what she was going to do about it, how it was going to be after they have sex. Oh my god, it did not disappoint! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can't stop fangirl screaming! LOL! But seriously, it went better than I ever expected.

I love that she wasn't scared. Cautious and nervous but she's pretty bold too; applying the things she learned on her own and from Lisa so as not to fuck up. I also like that instead of disassociating she's actually allowing herself to feel, allowing herself to open up to these new sensations, learning things about herself. I don't know how to feel about her reminding herself that she's a whore or that maybe she was born to be a whore. On one hand it kinda sounds like a lighthearted jab at herself but on the other hand it also sounds like she's putting herself down. I hope in the end she realizes there's nothing wrong with what she's doing and that she's a lovely and beautiful human being.

Awwwww Ichigo...I get that he's a "bad" person because of what he does for a living. But the fact that he was so considerate of her and her needs also is just so sweet. And Rukia can see through the hardness. *fangirl squealing* I bet it's the first time someone saw kindness in him. I love how deadpan she was when she was like 'Does it matter that I'm a virgin?' The girl just tells it like it is! I love it! And I'm guessing Ichigo made her first experience truly memorable and a positive one. Like I said, I'm sure this isn't how she pictured losing her virginity would be but I'm glad it's with Ichigo.

I'm gonna scream again because she's making him feel things! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! Now I know it's definitely not love. I mean they just frickin' met and it was all sex. But the fact that he's so taken by her, mesmerized by her, stirring up feelings inside of him, says A LOT! Even Chad sees it! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! That's me fangirl squealing! Anyways, Ichigo's probably going to ask Kyoraku why someone like Rukia is working as an escort? Because that's something I would definitely want to know. Curious to find out how much Kyoraku will tell him. What if he says something like she's working to make enough money to pay for her father's surgery? Wonder if Ichigo will come around more for her to help her out...I'm assuming Rukia will be part of his renegotiations. Hehehehe...

"His boss was a heartless hollow and hollows don't fall in love."-Well Chad, you about to witness your boss getting his heart back courtesy of one Miss Rukia Kuchiki. *smirk*

Oh my god I almost thought the girl in the painting was Rukia! LOL! It definitely fit her description, hoodie and all. Okay, so hear me out. What if the painter is Byakuya and he was painting Hisana? Hmmmm? Hmmmm? Then Byakuya, being a famous and rich painter, comes into the escort service, sees Rukia, and she reminds him of Hisana...

Oh, by the way, I love the longer chapter but I enjoyed it just as much as the shorter ones. Can't wait for the next chapter! :)

- Seriously, Jobananasan, I love your long reviews! I love your emotion, passion and enthusiasm you give along with details and context of the story when you leave your review. I'm glad you love the lemon. Don't worry, more hot lemons are in the story. Also let's just say Ichigo and his personality will change throughout the story. We will see if Ichigo continues to make appearances after this. To answer that last paragraph, that's a really good prediction about Hisana and the painting! But I can't say who or what the painting is referencing. Let's say it's a important part that connects Rukia and the harem's in a strange way.


Chapter 8: Cruel

When Ichigo knocked on Shunsui's office, he surprised the hell out of the manager. Shunsui was feeling tense. He really did hope that Rukia – or Shirayuki as she would be known in the service – did not fuck up this night. Why, of all people to be Rukia's first, did it have to be this scary man? Damn, Rukia's luck was probably cursed.

Shunsui smiled widely, trying to appear calm and congenial, when he was feeling the opposite. He led him to the chair in front of his desk as he went on to sit on his own.

"Sir Kurosaki, you surprised me! Forgive me, but I thought that you left with your men already. I saw them leaving a few minutes ago," Shunsui said in a lively, respectful tone.

"Yeah, well, I sent them ahead of me. I wanted to talk to you first before I leave for the night," Ichigo answered in a gruff tone.

"Of course, Sir Kurosaki! What is it? I hoped that the escort you picked was to your liking," Shunsui said with a smile. Behind his back, he crossed his fingers. Please, let him be satisfied with Rukia's performance.

"She was a virgin," the man said in a straight voice.

Shunsui assumed a shocked expression on his features that he hoped that Ichigo bought. He did not seem to take notice of it though so Shunsui merely continued on his charade. "Oh, my! I hope that she did not give you a hard time, Sir Kurosaki. She did not tell me that she was a virgin."

Shunsui couldn't have been prepared when Ichigo suddenly lunged at him and held him by the throat. "Shirayuki is not a whore. If I found out that you coerced her into this service, I'm going to kill you," the mob boss said in a threatening voice while choking Shunsui hard by the throat.

Shunsui's knees quivered. He knew about the rumored cruelty of this man. He heard about the supposed merciless ways that this man dealt with those who dared to cross him, but he did not expect to be a first-hand witness of it. "I swear I didn't, Sir Kurosaki," He explained, his voice trembling, shaking in fear of Ichigo. "It was her who came to me, asking for a job. Her dad needed to be operated on right away, so she needed a large amount of money."

Ichigo slowly relinquished his hold on Shunsui's throat. When he finally let go of his throat, Shunsui immediately massaged it. It might bruise later. He was still catching her breath when Ichigo spoke again.

"How much did she need?" The cruel man asked.

"About ¥715,000," Shunsui answered back.

"That's a meager amount. Why did she have to sell herself?" Ichigo asked.

"That's a pretty big amount for ordinary citizens, Sir Kurosaki," Shunsui said as he was rubbing his neck.

"That's chump change for me. How much did Sado pay for her?" Ichigo asked interestedly.

"¥71,500 for the night, Sir Kurosaki, a bit higher than usual because she was new," Shunsui explained, hoping that Ichigo would buy it.

"Send the bill to me in email. Since Shirayuki is a virgin, I'm going to pay ten times more for her service."

"S-sir Kurosaki, you… you're not joking, are you?" Shunsui's eyes widened like saucers after hearing what the man said.

"I never joke, Shunsui. Like I don't joke when I tell you I'm going to choke you for real if you continue gaping at me like a fish out of water," the man told him roughly. "What are you waiting for?! Hurry up and prepare the papers for the additional payment!"

"Yes, sir, right away!" Shunsui did what the man wanted right away. If he could send this man away faster in any way, he'd do it. His mere presence suffocated him. But his curiosity was also killing him, so he couldn't help but ask the lingering question, "Why are you doing this, Sir Kurosaki? Forgive me, but you never did this for the other girls you had before…"

The man looked down briefly before raising his stormy-hazel eyes to him and grinning in a feral way, "My old man always told me to reward those who serve me well. She gave me the best fuck of my life. Plus I get this strange connection with her the moment I saw her, like I met her in a past life or something. So I felt like helping her out."

Shunsui just nodded to convey his understanding, although he was feeling elated inside. This meant that Rukia had passed her first night as an escort with flying colors. He glanced back to the waiting mob boss. "The transaction was completed, Sir Kurosaki. Thank you for your patronage."

"Tch," the hateful man merely snorted before walking out of the room with his swagger, walking like he owned the whole world.

It wasn't until Shunsui was sure that the man was completely out of the premises that he was able to breathe out peacefully. He glanced at the mirror she had in the office and shook his head. He was definitely going to have bruises in his neck. Fuck that mob boss.

When Rukia woke up that morning, she was sore all over her body, especially her pussy. She found that she had been left alone in the spacious bedroom. Not finding it in herself to move out of the bed yet, she observed the room first. She couldn't do so last night because the lights had been off and she was too occupied thinking about how to go about her first night to take notice of her surroundings. It was a luxurious bedroom, with high glass windows that revealed to her the view of the city in the morning. It was probably the nicest room she had ever been in her entire life.

She glanced down at herself. She was completely naked under the covers and she noticed some bruises in the sides of her hips. There was dried blood down her thighs and when she looked around, she caught a glimpse of a blood stain on the middle of the bed. She crawled to investigate it– it was definitely her blood. That was when it sank into her: she was no longer a virgin. Well, it was not as if she was like some old-fashioned womanwho would cry over this. It was simply the consequence of her decision. Rukia's musings were cut off when she heard Shunsui's and Lisa's voice behind the bedroom door.

"Rukia, are you decent? I'm going to come in," Lisa shouted over the other side of the door.

She tucked her naked body under the covers again and shouted back, "Yeah, it's fine. Come in."

Rukia heard the rustling of keys and moments later, Lisa and Shunsui entered the room. A scarf was wrapped around Shunsui's neck. "How do you feel?" Lisa, one of her mentors asked her as she took a seat beside her in the bed.

"Sore," she answered briefly.

Lisa just nodded at her and pursed her lips. "That's to be expected. It was your first time after all. You can take tonight off."

Rukia's eyes widened. "What? No, don't worry about me. I can work tonight." She pleaded with both of them, "I need to make more money."

Shunsui patted her bare back. "Rukia, it's fine. Sir Kurosaki paid you ten times for your performance last night!" The older man had an excited look on his face. "You can send your dad to the operating room right now!"

Rukia's jaw dropped. "He… He did that? Why?" Wonder mixed with confusion colored her voice.

"It seemed that you totally pleased him last night." Shunsui's tone turned somber. "He thought I coerced you into this and choked me." He gestured at his neck.

Rukia gasped. She peered at the scarf-covered neck and saw bruises encircling it. She felt anger rising in her gut. "That bastard!" And here she was thinking that the guy was actually nice!

"No, don't worry about it. Sir Kurosaki was known for things like that. His arrogance, hollowness, and cruel personality was built from his father and one of the founding members of his mafia group. It's better if we don't piss him off more. What's important is that you finally have the right amount of money," her mentor placated.

Rukia just shook her head. Sometimes, she wished she had more power in her hands. Being weak was annoying. But Shunsui was right. Her priority right now should be her dad. She could finally have him operated on. But there was one thing she had to clarify. "But my contract was for one week, right? What happens now?" She asked her mentor.

"That's true. So you'll return tomorrow, Wednesday. After all, Tuesdays are usually lazy anyway. Only a handful of girls are needed tonight. Use the whole day for your dad," Shunsui informed her with a smile.

With that, Rukia got ready to fix herself up. She had a long day ahead of her. She got up with a wince. Fuck, her soreness would be an inconvenience for the whole day.


Ichigo just finished his transaction for the day with a daughter of a Yakuza group who wanted to invest in the party drug monopoly business they were establishing in the country. The bitch was too obvious in her advances. He got annoyed and set on giving it to the bitch. He was not averse to casual encounters after all. But as he kissed the bitch – he forgot her name – flashes of last night flooded his mind: Shirayuki's soft lips, the gentle swell of her breasts, the tattoos sharply contrasting her pale white skin. He tried to shake out those thoughts and kissed the Japanese girl harder, but the image that burned in his mind of Shirayuki's petite body sprawled on the bed wouldn't leave him. Not understanding what was happening to him, he threw the bitch out of the room and sent her away.

Seriously though, what did that whore do to him? The pink haired Japanese girl that he had in his bed earlier was undoubtedly gorgeous: big-boobed, long-legged, voluptuous, his usual. However, having had a taste of how it was to fuck a petite body, whose every part was small and soft, his much body completely engulfing it, giving him the feeling of total domination, Ichigo wondered if his preferences were changing. He dropped down on his bed spread-eagled, totally naked except for his boxers. He was still hot and bothered, but he couldn't go over the edge with the bitch he had earlier. He was thinking hard on how to solve his predicament when he suddenly remembered what he had brought from his encounter last night.

Ichigo promptly got up and went to his bedside drawer. When he opened the topmost one, he immediately found out what he was looking for: Shirayuki's lace panties. He sniffed it and he was overjoyed when he found out that her scent was still in it. He lied back down on his bed and dipped his hand into his boxers. He palmed his cock and massaged it, slowly at first, all the while sniffing Shirayuki's leftover womanly scent in her panties. In his mind, he was reliving the moment when Shirayuki was stuffing his cock in her mouth.

"Mmm…" His cock was totally erect now, precum dripping down his slit. His strokes got faster, as he imagined the little whore deep-throating his cock now. Shirayuki's sweet scent was making him feel heady. Needing more friction, he used the lace panty to rub on his shaft harder, his balls tightening. Anytime now, he'd fall over the edge. As white light engulfed his senses, all he could shout was, "Shirayuki!"

Loads of thick cum shot out from his cock, thoroughly drenching the lace panties he had on his hand. Damn… that felt good. But he was not yet completely satisfied. He needed the real thing. He resolved to go back to the escort service tomorrow to see his little slut. As he laid there catching his breath, he wondered how something like this could happen to him. He was going to have a little experiment. Maybe if he fucked the whore a couple more times, he'd get over his hunger for her.
