A/N:
Ichirukitrash4ever - "I expected that Rukia will sucker punch Ichigo, but sadly, she cried. My poor baby... I really wanted IR to be the endgame of this fic, so I hope Ichigo would learn to respect Rukia, coz if not, then Rukia is better off with Byakuya or UryuuI bet Uryuu would be one of the most decent of the four. Thanks for the consistent update by the way!"-Hey don't worry. The story isn't over yet! Plenty of IchiRuki left in this story. (:
CL "I am really enjoying your fic, very nice story, congratulations! The ichiruki's chemistry is unbeatable. Until now, we saw more of a Hichigo personality, I hope that the kind and selfless Ichigo personality will start to show. Xx" - Thank you CL! IchiRuki is amazing isn't it? (: Well Ichigo get's his personality from one of the founding members of his mafia group. Don't worry Ichigo will slowly change.
Princess-Sera - "This is so good , I love this story by far and I can't wait for the next chapter. I have a question is grimmjow also going to show up? Cuz that would be great if you add him to the harem" - New reviewer! Perhaps Grimmjow will show up later! I just don't know where to put him yet, but thank you for the support!
jobananasan - Bruh...My heart is breaking for Rukia! Poor thing...I feel so so bad for her...I love the thought of these men falling for her but I wish they'd stopped being stupid and feeling like they can have some kind of claim on her outside of that escort service. If someone from the club came up to Ichigo or Byakuya during their usual everyday life I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate it and more than likely would be pissed. Ugh! I hate that they're still treating her like a whore. *glares* Anyways, I really love that she stood up to Ichigo, didn't just let him have his ways with her. And on top of that threw away the bouquet! Yes, girl! Let them know you deserve to be respected as a woman and a human being! I love that she's determined to work for women's rights, to help those who probably feel powerless against what society dictates. Good on her. I hope she achieves all her goals. I also love that she's not acting like a victim, not wallowing in self-pity. I respect her so much for owning up to and standing by her decisions and actions. She's truly a warrior and survivor.
Ichigo...*sigh* He's probably so used to getting what he wants, including women. He just treats them like they're a dime a dozen because they actually are to him. But didn't he realize that Rukia isn't like any women he's ever met? The fact that she was only an escort for a week to raise money for her dad's surgery, and he even alluded that she doesn't belong in a place like that, these things should've been enough to tell him that he can't just waltz into her life and act like he owns her. What an idiot! Same thing goes for Byakuya. Anyways, I will give Ichigo credit for not forcing himself on her. Not gonna lie I was expecting the worst reaction from him. I really thought he was gonna grab her and "teach her a lesson." I also thought Byakuya was gonna show up and we'd have another showdown.
I'm really surprised Ichigo didn't sleep with another woman. I thought for sure he would because, you know, he can. He even had a eureka moment there when he realized the women he's been with are all so fake and superficial. Bravo, I guess. And thank goodness for Sado! I hope he can keep guiding Ichigo to becoming less of an ass to Rukia. Ichigo can still be a ruthless effective mob boss and treat her right. I'm rooting for him! I'm looking forward to seeing more of his character development. I just hope he's not just looking at Rukia as a challenge to be conquered, a trophy. I'm worried that once he's conquered her he'll get bored and drop her like he's done with all the other women he's been with. I don't know. I hope I'm wrong.
I love this chapter! Pretty emotional from Rukia's POV. Can't wait to find out what happens next. :)" - Hey I would be stupid too around Rukia. She's the type of woman that makes you stumble your words at her beauty you know? (: Ichigo is obessed with the 4'8 queen. He doesn't want to sleep with another girl when he's depress and the rain is falling in his head until he can see her again. Nah he won't drop her, there's a hidden secret that connects Ichigo and Rukia together in this story. (:
Chapter 15: The Piper's Call
Rukia's first period the next day was the Physical Education class. College gym class was very different from what she had in high school. Their high school focused on dances, and even though she was not much fond of it, she could say that she became a skilled folk and ballroom dancer.
However, when she entered the university, the PE classes that she wanted were mostly about self-defense. She was aware of the dangers that lurked in the streets, and knowing that she was petite, she thought that some knowledge on self-defense would help her greatly. Last year, for the first semester, she took up the Arnis class and learned how to fight with sticks, although it was very basic. For the second semester of her first year, self-defense classes like Judo, Taekwondo, and Karate were unfortunately filled, leaving her no spot so she was forced to sign up for the Table Tennis class.
The next year of the first semester, she was left with no spot again so she ended up in the Aerobic Dance class. Now, for her last PE class, since they only needed four PE classes for the whole four years anyway, she made sure that she finally ended up in a self-defense class. That was how she found herself taking up Judo.
She did not know most of her classmates in that class, except Tatsuki who was her seatmate Orihime's best friend. However, they weren't close so it did not matter. Their professor was this portly man who used to be a champion Judo-ka in his youth, Sir Marechiyo Ōmaeda. After dressing up hurriedly in their Judo attire, they waited patiently for the man to arrive. Since Sir Ōmaeda was large, he mostly just used his students to demonstrate the moves as he instructed them while sitting in his chair. It was not the ideal way to teach students but they had no choice. Rukia would have liked a more hands-on demonstration.
The conversations between her PE classmates instantly ceased when instead of the familiar bulging belly of Sir Ōmaeda, a lean, but muscular orange hair person greeted them. Rukia herself was astonished and her jaw almost dropped to the ground, even her heart.
No way… Nope! This shit ain't real! She even pinched her own arm to see if she was still dreaming. She wasn't.
"Good morning, class! I'm your new PE instructor, Sir Shiro Zangetsu."
The new instructor swept his eyes around the vicinity, settling on Rukia. And then he grinned, that familiar feral one.
"It is my pleasure to be teaching you," he said, his voice taking a sensual term (at least in Rukia's ears).
A cold shiver ran down her spine.
It was so amusing to see the shock in his little whore's face again. Seriously, surprisingly Rukia was fast becoming Ichigo's second most-favorite hobby. Of course, the first one would be fucking her, but that's another story.
After his talk with his right-hand man, Sado, Ichigo realized that his usual tactics of conquering women might not work on Rukia. Deny as he might, Ichigo was quickly realizing that his interest in Rukia was not normal anymore. If he was going to be honest, it was bordering on the obsessive. Just the thought was annoying to him – it was a blow to his pride. To think that he would go as far as to infiltrate a school just for this whore that used to suck his cock… But then again, it would also be a blow to his pride if he admitted to himself that there was one woman he could not conquer.
Maybe that was why he was so obsessed with the bitch in the first place… Even when she was his personal slut, she did not submit to him completely. In a way, the opposite happened a lot of times. Rationalizing that, he resolved to take on Rukia as a challenge. Once he had fully made the whore submit to him, he could finally move on to more conquests. Until then, he'd enjoy invading Rukia's world.
The idea of infiltrating the school was not his idea; it was Sado's. His right-hand man figured that school was a very big fixture in Rukia's life and that his presence there would make her more aware of his existence. So he negotiated his entrance to the school in just one night.
It was so easy. After all, the university president, Mr. Yamamoto, was indebted to him. He was involved in some smuggling trade and Ichigo was one of his protectors. After finding out Rukia's class schedule, it was just a matter of choosing which class he could penetrate. He was a mob boss, but he was educated in Oxford. His credentials even include an MBA that helped a lot in running a business empire like their Mafia group. But he did not need to go further than that because the Judo class presented the perfect opportunity. After paying off the instructor, who was a deadbeat old man who graciously accepted his offer right away, he was appointed the same night.
He decided not to use his real name, because the class did not need to know anything. He decided to use his second name Shiro and one of his cousin's name Zangetsu, and then his cover was complete.
One student, a wimpy looking kid, raised his hand.
"Sir, can we ask what happened to our former instructor?"
"He resigned. Seems like he got sick over the holidays," Ichigo smoothly lied. Mutterings erupted among the students.
Another student raised her hand. She was a fine-looking bitch, but she wasn't his type. Frankly, Rukia was his sole type of girl these days.
"Sir, are you an MMA fighter? You look like one."
That made Ichigo grin. He was actually, just the underground type, the kind that did not have rules like the legal kind, but of course he couldn't exactly brag about that.
"I used to train for it, but I'm actually more versed in varied styles than those usually used in MMA. I have tried a lot of martial arts forms like Karate, Taekwondo, of course, Judo, Muay Thai, Jiu-jitsu, and even hand-to-hand combat like Kali, Silat, Krav Maga, and my own Systema," Ichigo explained, this time, not lying at all.
A sound of complete wonder was heard among the students. Another girl raised her hand, her fangirling attitude already apparent.
"Sir, I'm glad that you replaced our instructor. I'm excited for the lessons!"
Another question came up, but he did not see who asked it.
"Sir, do you have a girlfriend?"
Heh. He didn't need one. But he wanted to get down to business now, so he stopped their incessant questions.
"I will not answer any questions anymore. I'll be the one to ask them now. What have you discussed so far?"
A lanky boy raised his hand. "Sir, we are still in the basic moves like the Forward Foot Sweep and the Knee Wheel."
Well, the teacher Ichigo replaced was certainly lazy. These kids were so lucky to have him. The things he did just for Rukia… Damn. He shook his head.
"I see. Those moves are very basic indeed. For today, we will try more advanced moves and for that, I will need a volunteer." Ichigo was certainly adjusting to his sensei role well.
The mob boss made a pretend gesture of looking for a volunteer, although his mind was already made up. His eyes settled on that familiar head obviously trying not to get noticed.
"Miss third from the fourth row, can you come here in front?"
If looks could kill… But Rukia's glare just made her look hotter in Ichigo's eyes. Oh, this would be so fun. She was dragging her feet as she walked towards him.
After Rukia settled beside him in front of the class, Ichigo continued his explanation.
"Today, I will be teaching you two choking techniques: the nami-juji-jime or normal cross choke and the hadaka-jime or naked choke." He deliberately injected a sexual overtone there.
He turned to Rukia. "Miss, if you will, can you face me?"
Rukia rolled her eyes at him but did as he told her. He smirked inwardly.
"For the nami-juji-jime, first cross your arms on the person's neck and use your wrists to squeeze the neck of your opponent," he demonstrated. As he put down his arms though, he deliberately caressed Rukia's neck. Ichigo saw how she stiffened instantly.
The students mimicked his demonstration with their partners and performed the move easily. It was time for the second move.
"For hadaka-jime or naked choke, you need to stand behind the opponent." He gestured Rukia to stand in front of him. As he settled behind the girl, he locked his arms in her neck. "Then you choke her neck like this," he finished.
Getting close to Rukia like this, a scent of lavender assaulted his nostrils. Ichigo was tempted to bury his head in the crook of her neck like what he used to do after they fucked before. Damn, this bitch always tempted the hell out of him. As payback, he "accidentally" brushed his bulge in her back. Ichigo would literally do anything to have Rukia doggie-style right now, with him holding her hair tightly as he pounded into her until her knees buckled… but it was not the time yet.
After the students finished the demonstration, he showed more choking techniques with Rukia, his partner the whole time. He made sure to touch, caress, and rub his cute little lady "accidentally." When it was time for the class to finish, he addressed the students.
"Since I am new here, a class representative will assist me. I appointed Miss Rukia. Also, don't forget to bring your index cards filled with your contact details next class." Ichigo turned to Rukia beside him, standing awkward in front of the class. "Rukia, stay back for a couple of minutes after the class. I have some reminders for you."
Ichigo did not miss the panic in those beautiful eyes and it fueled his lust all the more. Nothing beats the feeling of cornering one's prey. Rukia wouldn't be able to escape him now.
