A/N: Happy Saturday everyone! Like always I responde to your reviews! Over 30 reviews! If you haven't, please review, favorite and follow the story!

Frigg Nevia07 - "Thx for update and Byakuya finally appeared xD. Thank you so muchhh Author-san... ;D"- You're welcome! Yes Byakuya is finally in the story now! Now the story is getting a bit spicy with more men fighting for Rukia haha.

FafaCute - "Oh nooo... Wrong move ichigo.. it will takes so dang long to get rukia's heart.. ( _). Im curious.. it's rukia's harem story ryt? Will rukia sleep will all those 4 boys?Want to know what happen next.. keep up the good work _" - Thank you! Yes It's a harem. Continue reading to see if other guys will sleep with other guys.

Guest - "Wahou so Ichigo is back and very jealous ! Wonder how Rukia will react. I bet she won't be happy, especially since he called her a all honesty, I hope Byakuya and Rukia won't have sex. They're brother and sister in the manga and it bothers me to imagine them being intimate, even if it's a fanfiction. I find their bond in the manga very interesting. They found in each other a family, they respect and admire each other. I wonder if it will be the same here. Rukia helping Byakuya overcome the pain of losing his wife. Byakuya being the sibling Rukia never had. For the harem, I guess the other men are Grimmjow and Shuhei pr Ashido ! Thanks for the update :)" - Ichi-Boy is quite jealous in the story haha. The ByaRuki bond in this fic is pretty strong, I tried my best writing the two. Good guesses on the other men! Let's see if your predictions come true!

Ichirukitrash4ever - "I wonder if you'll gonna follow the canon wherein Rukia and Hisana are sisters. I dont know how to feel with Byaruki xD I think I enjoy their brother-sister relationship more, but Byakuya is really a gentleman here, I hope he does something about Ichigo's asshole behavior (Though still supporting IR, but Ichigo needs a beating for manhandling Rukia xD). Would there be a byaruki lemon too? I am just curious how these two's relationship would progress. Thanks for the consistent update!" - I'll spoil this one detail with you readers: Rukia and Hisana aren't sisters in the story. There. The only hint I'm giving haha. You''ll see later why I didn't follow the canon, it will make total sense. (: Let's all gang up on Ichigo and tell him to be gentle and sweet to the Queen or else! Perhaps I'm writing a ByaRuki lemon chapter, or not.. hmmm.. continuing reading! (:

jobananasan "Oh thank goodness she got a break and just had to talk and pour drinks. She was probably still feeling a tad bit sore, I'm guessing. I think the way she's so deadpan and dull when she talks is so endearing. I hope she stays that way. *chuckles* I'm sure it's because of her life's circumstances and I'm not saying I want her to be unhappy forever. It's just that it makes her so down to earth and relatable.

Anyways, I don't have much to say about Byakuya at the moment. Much respect to him though for still being so devoted to Hisana. I'm not a ByaRuki shipper at all as I see them as siblings but this isn't too bad. Also he's so much older than her. At least he's treating her like an actual human being and showing her respect. No complaints from me.

The frickin' painting is totally bugging me! UUUUUGH! It was painted before she was born? A dream, maybe? The artist had a dream of a girl with violet eyes wearing a hoodie? This is going to bug me so much until you tell us the story behind it...

I don't know why but the image of Ichigo scaring the crap out of Shunsui is hilarious! Poor Shunsui. *chuckles*

"He went to her and yanked her arm none too gently, forcing her to stand up next to him...He then dragged Shirayuki out of the room, holding her arms like a leash."-Calm the fuck down, Ichigo, you caveman! JFC! He needs to chill out. *glares* I hope Rukia scolds him like a child because he's acting like one right now.

"The idea of another man fucking his little whore did not sit well to him. He had her first!...He could feel himself seething. How dare that whore go with another man behind his back? He was going to give it to her until she understood that he owned her until he stopped wanting her."-Excuse me?! Someone's a little entitled prick! Your jealousy is showing, Ichigo. I can practically hear him screaming, "MINE MINE MINE!" I just hope he doesn't take his anger out on her. I know he probably will and that will make me sick to my stomach. He better remember that there was never any agreement that she is his exclusively. That she is innocent in all this. That she's not a fucking whore. He said so himself in the last chapter. She's not used to any of this, she doesn't know any better. Look at me ready to throw hands for my girl! Anyways, he better not hurt her or I swear to god...I'm going to be so disappointed in him. My IchiRuki heart will break...T_T T_T T_T

"He surmised that maybe one of two fuck, the novelty of the woman would wear off and he could return to his normal state."-HAH! I don't think so bud! I hope she haunts him in his dreams forever! I hope he falls for her so hard and so deeply that he promises to his very soul he'll protect her forever! Man, I hope she gives him a chance...Maybe she can work some magic on him and bring out his soft loving side only to her. I'm sure she doesn't want to get involved with The Vizards but I can hope, right?

"I will take this to the manager!"-Well...I can't wait to see how Shunsui handles this. If he had any balls, he'll take Byakuya's side since he did pay for her time. I'm guessing Ichigo will probably begrudgingly accept it since in his line of work he knows the importance of honoring agreements. Or am I expecting too much from Ichigo? Rukia's probably wishing she had gone home for the night. XD

I don't know who the other two will be but as someone already mentioned I hope one of them is Ashido Kano. AshiRuki one of my favorite Rukia crack pairings. *whispers 'As long as there's no Renji.'* :P *chuckles* I can't remember the titles of the other IR Mafia AU fics I've read. They're older ones for sure. Looking forward to your next update! :) - The one and only Jobananasan back with another super long review! :D Of course the Queen needs some rest after that hot crazy sex with Ichigo! I see I got you invested in the painting hahaha. Let's both throw hands at Ichigo and teach him a lesson! I think Rukia is gonna haunt him. Good guesses for the other males by the way!

Chapter 10: Hunt for You

Rukia winced at the tightness of Ichigo's hold on her arm. During Byakuya and Ichigo's confrontation, she was mostly silent from shock, but now, she had regained her senses.

"Fuck, that hurts," she complained but Ichigo just ignored her. Annoyed with the way the mob boss was treating her like some dog to be dragged, she planted her feet on the floor. It was not easy considering that she was so petite compared to the force of Ichigo's bulky body. Nevertheless, she succeeded with getting the attention of the seething man.

"I said you're hurting me!"

Ichigo abruptly stopped, but tightened his hold on her arm. She was going to get a bruise there tomorrow. "Shut up, bitch! Who said that you can complain here?"

That made her indignant. She knew the rules when she came into the service. "I specifically remember Shunsui telling me that abusing the escorts is not allowed, which is exactly what you're doing right now!"

Her statement made his hold on her arm slacken a bit. "There. Happy?"

She promptly yanked her arm back and massaged it while Ichigo merely sneered at her gesture.

"Who said I cared about some rules? I fucking own this service," the mob boss said and then yanked her arm back, although it was noticeably a bit lighter than his hold before.

"What the actual fuck?" Rukia could not help but whisper under her breath as she was being dragged by the tall man again.

She found herself inside the VIP room again, the place where she lost her virginity to the same man in front of her. After slamming the door closed, he turned to her with a fierce expression on his face. Rukia was a bit less afraid of this man now, having already handled him alone for a whole night. Still, Rukia could not help backing away from him.

Ichigo's voice was low when he asked her, "Why were you with that guy earlier?"

Rukia was positively confused with his question. "I was earning my keep, of course…"

He advanced towards her more and she backed away again in response. "Didn't I already pay you enough money? Why did you return here?!"

Ichigo's aggressive tone startled her and she backed away from him even further, but she found her back against the wall. He then seized her shoulders, effectively trapping her.

"I am under a week-long contract," she replied, confusion coloring her voice. "What the hell is your problem anyway?!"

He opened his mouth to reply but they were interrupted with knocks on the door. They heard Shunsui's voice coming from the other side, asking Ichigo to open it. The mob boss cursed under his breath at being interrupted but proceeded to open the door.

"What?!" Ichigo snarled right after opening the door.

Shunsui and Byakuya greeted them on the doorway. Rukia was still reeling from shock and confusion at Ichigo's sudden intrusion with her conversation with another client and his displeasure at her actions. It also did not help that she was still bewildered at his earlier gesture of paying her too much for one night.

"Sir Kurosaki, Atty. Kuchiki informed me that you interrupted his time with the escort. Atty. Kuchiki is a prized client so I believe we should settle this carefully," Shunsui said in a diplomatic voice.

"Listen, asshole. I don't give a fuck about any pussies because I make the goddamn rules here. I want Shirayuki for the night and for the whole week for that matter, so take this fucker outta here so I can start fucking my whore tonight!"

B-but, Sir Ichigo…" Shunsui was obviously distraught.

"I believe it is my right as a client to choose my escort. Besides, Shirayuki was with me first," Byakuya interjected.

"Ya, maybe the client does, but I own 75% of this damn company," Ichigo growled.

Byakuya sucked in a breath and proceeded to say, "You might be forgetting, Mr. Owner, that I'm the top lawyer of this country. You don't want to be sued, do you?"

Ichigo laughed out loud and walked towards the lawyer, trying to intimidate him. Byakuya stood his ground. "Ya might be the top lawyer of the country, attorney, but I am the top dog of one of the biggest Mafia groups in Asia and Europe. Ya don't wanna mess wit' me." He backed away a bit before smirking.

"Besides, ya don't want people to know ya been to a place like this escort service, do ya?"

Byakuya's face hardened but it was already clear that Ichigo had won this round. The lawyer promptly walked out of the room, leaving the three of them there.

Shunsui obviously was not comfortable with being in the same room as this man. Rukia herself was unsure if she was to say something to diffuse the tension. To be honest, she had not known what to do earlier either. Diplomacy was not something she was an expert at.

"Well, Sir Kurosaki, I must get going. Have a fun night with Shirayuki," Shunsui said nervously.

The mob boss turned to the manager with a threatening countenance. "Don't forget what we have talked about here tonight. Arrange everything necessary to schedule Shirayuki for the whole week as my escort."

"Ye-yes, sir! Right away!" Shunsui squeaked before scurrying out of the room, leaving Rukia and Ichigo alone in the room once again.

Once left alone, Rukia's confusion at the mob boss' actions resurfaced. She needed to find out why the man was doing things like paying her a huge amount of money, stopping her from attending to her client, sending the offended client away, and even going as far as to reserve her for the whole week.

"Why?" She whispered softly.

"What?" He turned to her abruptly. "What did you say?"

"Why?" She repeated in a stronger voice. "Why are you doing this?"

"What do you mean?" He scoffed, but it was obvious he was trying to avoid the issue when he averted his eyes and focused on something on the floor.

"You know what I'm talking about, Ichigo."

Something about the knowing tone of her voice triggered the man in front of her. He snapped his blazing eyes back to her and cupped her chin. Rukia refused to back down and stared back defiantly.

"I don't know. You tell me, ya fucking witch. After that one time, I couldn't get yer peachy ass outta my mind. What the fuck did ya do to me?"

Rukia's brows creased out of confusion. "I-I didn't do anything." She regained confidence in her voice. "But it seems that it's not my problem anyways."

"Oh, is that so?" Ichigo closed the distance between their faces, their breaths mingling until he moved to whisper in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine, "But it is your problem, because I'm gonna fuck you until I figure out what happened to me and finally get tired."

Hearing his words made her eyes widen marginally. "What–" Rukia was not able to finish what she wanted to say because the mob boss promptly muffled her mouth with his.

For three consecutive nights since that fateful Wednesday, Ichigo had Rukia have been in his bed. The first night, he fucked her doggie style, taking her from behind. His thrusts were so violent, her knees buckled but he didn't stop or soften his force. When she complained about it, he stopped abruptly, before holding her down by her nape and thrusting even harder. Rukia's juices burst from the combined pain and pleasure. She promptly fell asleep from exhaustion and when she woke up, just like the first time, he was gone.

Thursday found her and the mob boss in the 69 position, Rukia's first experience. She blacked out a bit from the intense pleasure through Ichigo's joint action of sucking her clit while ramming her pussy with his three long fingers. On her account, she made an improvement with her blowjob performance and she made the man fill his condom with his cum after sucking it. He had to get another condom before she rode him until they both came for the second time.

Friday was even more intense. They did not even reach the bed when Ichigo aggressively advanced on her as soon as he closed the door and he fucked her against the wall. He merely lowered his fly while her dress was just raised to her middle and her panties shoved aside, the burning need of the man not even leaving time to have them properly undressed. After cooling down for a bit, he promptly threw her down the bed and ravaged her for another round.

Rukia did not want to think too much during these encounters. She had previously thought that she could dissociate herself from reality, but it was too hard to ignore the sensations that Ichigo made her feel. Each time, she tried to deny herself the pleasure, but she always ended up succumbing to it. Each morning after, she couldn't help but feel shame about the fact that she was turning more and more into a whore. It was as if fate and her past had destined her to be a whore During those times, she could only loathe herself.

She could not let herself be swallowed by her thoughts. After all, there was a light at the end of the tunnel for her. After this week, she could leave this chapter of her life behind, a dark interlude meant to be forgotten. She did not regret what she did, because after all, it was what saved her father's life. A lot of others were not as lucky as her. Lots of them were like Lisa and Shunsui; their lives doomed to be whores until they were no longer fresh enough to be picked by patrons. With that thought in her mind, she could face Ichigo each night that he came to her.

Saturday was unexpectedly different though. Ichigo did not even kiss her. He came into the VIP room looking thoroughly haggard and was injured, although not too seriously. He just collapsed on her chest, giving her a hard time standing upright while supporting his heavy weight. She had to get Shunsui's help in transferring him to the bed where he managed to rest his bandaged head on her chest. When she tried to ask how he got injured, he merely told her to shut up and help him sleep by combing her fingers on his soft wavy locks. She had no choice but to obey and in the process, fell asleep with her fingers still tangled on the strands of his orange spikes. When she woke up the next day, it was the first time that Ichigo had not left her alone on the bed. He was still sleeping and she had to wait until he woke before she could move from her position. Recharged with sleep, his arrogance returned in full force and he just pissed her off with his cocky smirks, to which Rukia merely responded with her deadpan manner.

She did not see him that Sunday because the escort service was closed during that day. She used the whole afternoon to assist her dad with his discharge from the hospital. He still did not know that she had gotten into something like an escort service and when he asked how she got the money to have him operated, all she told him was that Shunsui helped them a lot and the health insurance balance was used to cover all the debt.

When they got home, her aunt Retsu organized a mini-party to celebrate Jūshirō's recovery. Even Shunsui was there. Shunsui and her dad talked for a long time. It seemed that they knew each other from way back before she was even born. However, Rukia was usually not interested in concerning herself with other people's private matters and she busied herself with assisting the visitors and making them comfortable in her own fumbling way.
