I'm back! Sorry life got in the way. lol! I'm introducing new characters into the mix I really hope you enjoy how I fit them into the story. Sort of like how I made Ulquiorra become related to Orihime and Sora, it just seemed perfect. I really am trying to keep the characters true to the manga in the AU world I created.
"Orihime? Did you hear what I told you?" Tatsuki yelled out.
"Oh, I'm sorry it's the blue men distracting me again." She stated nervously.
"I'm sure it's a man with a certain orange hair that comes to mind." Nel purred watching her friend blush.
"With our schedules, we haven't seen each other and you're off daydreaming," her spiky haired friend said.
She could hear her friends irritated tone, 'I'm sorry Tatsuki, I didn't mean to ignore you, I won't do it again."
Satisfied, she continued to talk," I need to tell you guys something," as she started to fidget nervously that was so unlike her.
"Oh this must be good, go on." Nel straightened up from the floor.
"Ulquiorra and I are...dating." She flinched at both girls high pitched squeals.
"I thought he annoyed you...How?..When?" Nel grew more anxious with her friend.
"He never said anything to me?" Orihime gave a confused look.
"That' s because I threatened him to not say anything until I told you. To your question, we've been dating for a couple weeks and I guess I've always liked him and so did he."
"How romantic..I'm so glad the two people I love and care about are together." The auburn haired friend beamed wrapping her arms tightly around her friend," Now we're officially sisters."
"Whoa, not so fast Orihime. We're just dating just because we had ..." Her eyes grew as she stopped herself from saying anything else. She turned beat read as she swallowed hard.
"Tatsuki's what's wrong?" Orihime said worriedly.
"OMG! You little slut." Nel giggled as her friend's eyes widen and became angry. "I'm kidding but you guys actually..."
Tatsuki closed her eyes exhaling as she nodded, 'yes'. Nel screamed hoping from her seated position.
"I don't blame ya... I've always thought Ulquiorra was good looking but I don't care for the strong and silent type. Also Sora ..but alas our love was never meant to be" she dramatically lifted her hands reaching for an invisible hand. "Sora's only gotten more handsome and masculine but now I have Grimmy."
"So you two?" Tasuki gave a questioning look.
"No.. not yet...we've been dating. I mean we kiss but that's all." The green haired sounded disappointed. "I mean I'm not ready ...but when we kiss and his hands are all over me." She began to hug herself as she reddens.
"Wow, and here I thought you've done every position and everywhere in his penthouse," Tatsuki slyly grinned.
"I get the feeling he wants to, and he's so sweet. I'm the one initiating the kiss and we start to fondle each other but when we go further I get scared. So I guess he senses that and he stops. But then we get on the phone and he teases me about sex. Argh! I hate him why does he have to be gentlemen." Nel pouted.
"Talking about sex on the phone?" Orihime whispered as both her friends began to laugh at their friend's lack of sexual knowledge.
"Phone Sex! It's talking on the phone with your partner and telling each other about what they plan on doing sexually to one another, then the conversation is so heated because it's described in detail that both partners tend to touch themselves." Tatsuki explained nonchalantly as Orihime began to redden at the thought of hearing Ichigo saying what he would do to her, she cupped her mouth looking at her friend's curious glances as she turned her attention to her fingers.
"So, umm .. would fondling. Be considered something sexual to talk about during these phone conversations?" She spoke biting her lip in embarrassment. "I guess so why?" Tatsuki said raising her brow questioningly at her timid friend.
"Since seeing Ichigo, she thinks that a matching sexy voice to the looks she wants to talk to him again about fondling her breasts." Nel chimed in laughing as she gestured cupping her own breasts making the auburn girl aggravated.
"Not only that" she pouted, " I can talk about more," she said sheepishly.
"Like?" Nel curious to know of her shielded friend's answer.
"Like removing my bra while he perks ….my nipples with his fingers and ...tongue," Tatsuki and Nel watched with amusement as her friend began to stutter but then there amusement slowly faded when they watched their friend close her eyes describing more without hesitation in her voice.
"Then he reaches between your legs and you're ashamed because he's found you completely. ," her tone was low as she grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly making her knuckles white. " He answers your pleas for more fingering you in and out. He finds out you're a virgin and you're disappointed when he stops," Then their confusion turned to concerned when they saw a single tear streak down their auburn haired friend's cheek.
"If you knew this was the last time he was going to touch you, you wished you would of forced him to go further," then her eyes opened aware of her surroundings glancing over at her friends stunned heated expressions. She hurriedly whipped away her tears and gave nervous laughs, "See I...I know enough."
"Orihime you honestly think we're going to believe that you made that up, Who was it?" Nel said as Tatsuki chimed in angrily,"Who do I have to castrate? Who touched you Orihime?" As the spiky haired girl began to fist her hands, eyes intent on hurting someone. Orihime's eyes widen and started to violently move her hands in front of her.
"Tatsuki! Please don't hurt Kurosaki-kun ...I ..I initiated the kiss that led to..." She stopped herself from continuing as she reddened.
"Wait! When did you guys meet again, during the party you didn't say a word to each other?" Tatsuki exclaimed her mouth agape.
"Well, Yuzu forgot to mention that she begged her brother to stay the weekend."
"So you not only met the family but slept in the same house as him... secretly did those things in the dark." Nel began to pout, "I am soo jealous."
"There's something else she's not telling us, Nel. Something happened what is it Orihime?" Orihime sighed drudging up the confession at the beach to the altercation that led to Ichigo's departure.
"Sure I thought he was a jerk but so is Ulquiorra I can't believe he did that. Your brothers were acting on impulse they're too proud and overprotective," Tatsuki fumed.
"Wow, I'm kind of nervous introducing Grimmy to father," Nel said biting her nails.
"Your father doesn't care who you go out with, he lets you do what you want." Tatsuki shot back.
"He does let me go out with whoever I choose but when I introduce them, he embarrasses them with lude jokes and scares the crap out of them by asking to spare with them. It's almost like he secretly telling me that they are not good enough especially when he tells me , 'That was fun Nel-chan, but it seems they don't get my sense of humor.' I tell myself that even without his approval I'll continue to date them but I end up breaking it off because I do want his approval... I'm afraid," Orihime scooted near her friend placing her hand to comfort her upset friend. "I value his approval so much and I really like this guy I don't know what I'd do if...your brave Orihime you were going to tell Sora even if it was Ichigo that told him in the end."
"I wanted to keep us a secret from Sora but he didn't deserve that, not when he's given me so much. Even though it ended the way that I had dreaded, a huge weight has been lifted and no more secrets between us." Orihime said with a saddened smile.
"I guess your right. Father does want to meet him and I keep putting it off," she said with a determined grin, " Okay I'll introduce Grimmjow.
"Oh, I'm glad to help, " she expressed smiling.
"I think you should still call him Orihime, " Tatsuki broke the silence.
"Tatsuki! My brothers told him to stay away from me."
"Exactly but they never said you couldn't, you can still talk to him on the phone. Listen Orihime, like I said your brothers are too overprotective of you as am I but there's a difference. I don't see you as a little girl. Big brothers in a way get jealous of another male getting their sister's attention. They have it in their stupid minds that you don't know any better and they should make all your decisions." Tatsuki huffed in annoyance.
"Sounds like you know from experience... did your big brother get on your nerves?" Nel laughed, " I guess you don't have to deal with it since he's been overseas for years. I've never even met him."
"I do miss him and I don't have to deal with him... Big brother's can be so stupid," she laughed as she stared at the other girls who's eyes widen and was staring past her looking at something in back of her. She hesitated as she slowly turned to see a tall built man with dark spiky hair and a tattoo of a 69 on his left bottom neck. He was much older than she remembered him but still had the same features, she eyed him in shock as he leaned against her door frame with a firm expression.
"Is that so... little Tats. I was under the impression that I was the center of your universe, " he said lifting himself off the frame eyeing his sister oblivious to everyone in the room.
"Shuuhei, when did you get back?" She stated with gritted teeth, 'What are you doing snooping in my room." She shouted in irritation.
"Such a harsh welcome, fine I'll be downstairs...waiting for our parents I'm sure they'll be more appreciative." He said as he realized her guests, his eyes widen to see beautiful busty beauties staring at him with a smile. He nodded then felt his cheeks flush as he turned around rather quickly leaving his sister's room.
"I guess you do have to deal with a big brother, Tatsuki," Orihime whispered.
Nel began to hastily rise from her sitting position on the floor heading towards the door before Tatsuki grabbed her arm firmly.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Well, since you so rudely not introduce us to your brother I'm going to say hi."
"Not without me your not."
"I'm so glad I don't have a hot brother I'd surely have a brother's complex." Nel blushed.
"That's gross Nel and my brother is not...ewww. Why am I even talking about this." Tatsuki began to turn a shade of green from disgust.
"I was just joking about the brother complex but not about how hot your brother is, I can't be the only one, Orihime?" The green haired girl gesturing to her auburn haired friend for recognition.
Orihime began to look around avoiding their eyes as she blushed.
"Orihime! I thought Ichigo made you get over my brother?" Tatsuki asked confused.
"Tatsuki just...just because I like Kurosaki-kun doesn't mean umm... I don't find him attractive."
'Exactly! I have Grimmy but I'm not dead, Tatsuki."
"Whatever, Let's go! And Nel...behave yourself." She eyed her green haired friend sternly.
"Who me?" She said mockingly with a finger to the cleft of her chin. Tatsuki rolled her eyes at the fake display of innocence as she continued to head downstairs.
She found her spiky haired brother in the kitchen making himself a sandwich. He looked up to see his sister and her friends as they sat on the bar stools in front of him.
"So you did miss me," he eyed her with a small grin as he put the turkey and condiments back in the fridge.
"Of course I missed you, you idiot. I just don't like you in my room without my permission," she spat.
He gave her a serious look as he took a bite of his sandwich and continued after swallowing, " Your pissed off because I caught you talking shit about me."
"I don't hide talking shit I'd say it to your damn face, jackass."
He chuckled as he spoke, ' I really miss these...what's the word? Ah yes! Heart to hearts we have."
"Oh shut up, anyways I wanted you to meet my two best friends this is Nel Odelschwanck and..."
'Hi, it's so nice meeting you it's Shuuhei Hisagi right?" She interrupted Tatsuki as she smiled at him.
He lifted a brow to her giddy smile and at her forwardness, " Yeah, Odelschwanck sounds familiar?"
"Oh, I'm his daughter."
"Really? I hear your dad is quite the character and one of the top skilled fighters." Giving a grin as he lifted himself off the kitchen counter.
"If you mean the rumor of him being a perverted skirt chaser. Then yes they are true." She giggled but quickly received an elbow from her friend for rudely interrupting her.
"And you remember Orihime Inoue?" She thumbed her hand in the direction of the girl in question as she began to blush as she slowly waved and whispered, "Hi, Shuuhei-kun."
Hisagi trying to clear his throat from a piece of food stuck in his airway, "Inoue? Wow, you've grown from a little girl to a …. Wow, " he stated his reddened face deepening in color causing the auburn haired to turn the same color.
"Thank you, Shuuhei-kun...nice to meet you again," giving him a smile.
Tatsuki saw her brother's pink tone change darker his gaze lingering too long on her friends.
"Gross, Shuuhei! Stop picturing my friends naked, you perv."
His eyes widen dropping his sandwich on the floor, "What the fuck, Tats. I'm not picturing... I'm not a perv..." He gave his sister a glare then looking down at his sandwich, "Shit, you made me drop my sandwich."
"Whatever, I hate to burst your bubble but Nel is dating Grimmjow and Orihime is dating... well is in the process of getting back with Ichigo." She told her brother flatly as he threw his fallen sandwich in the garbage. After he was finished, he gave a critical brow at the girls in front of him, " Jeagerjaquez and Kurosaki?"
"So you know them?" Tatsuki said.
"Yeah, met them from Renji Abarai, Haven't spoken to him yet, how's he been?"
"Well, he's getting married to Rukia Kuchiki."
"That son of a bitch does have balls, and here I thought he be too scared of Byakuya." He said laughing uncontrollably.
"From my impression, it seems Byakuya doesn't like him," Tatsuki added.
"Nah, he has respect for Renji he just pissed off that he's banging his sister."
"See what did I tell you girls, it's a stupid brother thing," Tatsuki said rolling her eyes.
"So Shuuhei, do you have that mentality" What would you do if little Tats got herself a boyfriend?" Nel chimed in getting death glares from her spiky haired friend.
"Pfft Tatsuki having a boyfriend weren't you all for stringing men by the balls." He grinned seeing the flames in her eyes.
"Screw you, Asshole. It just so happens I do have a boyfriend." She glared at her brother who was standing there looking at her sternly as both siblings crossed their arms.
"So when do I meet the eunuch?" He leaned back on the fridge doors waiting for an answer.
"Pfft...never."
"Yeah, like that would fucking happen. You tell him to meet your brother unless he knows whats good for the punk."
"Please, Shuuhei-kun, he's not a punk," Orihime interjected sheepishly, " my brother is very kind just misunderstood."
"Wait...Sora! What the..." Hisagi yelled in confusion looking at Tatsuki.
"No dumbass... Orihime has a half-brother who's a year older, they found him in foster care gave him a home." Tatsuki informed her brother who was in the process of calming his heart.
"Oh, well still Tats I'm going to meet him with or without your permission... maybe I'll pay my old pal Sora a visit."
"Fine! You are so annoying... you can meet him but it won't dissuade my decision of seeing him if you choose not to like him."
Both siblings glared at each other then a small ring was heard from his coat pocket. He reached out a finger to his sister telling her this conversation was not over, as the older man flipped his phone and answered with a grin. "So future Kuchiki, you do have balls," he smirked from what the person on the other line was saying as the girls listened intently.
"Nothing much it was a long flight." He yawned stretching out his arms. "I'm always in for getting drunk, you know me so well. He laughed as he leaned up from the fridge door walking up to the girls, " I'll meet you there at 8, see ya Renji." He hung up the phone placing it in his jeans pocket.
"Anyways Tats will finish this conversation later, I have to go somewhere."
"For your date with your bro," she grinned arrogantly.
"Cute, that's something you won't be doing till I meet your boyfriend," he grinned defiantly.
"You can't just come in and tell me what to do," she shouted.
"Where's my car keys...there," as he made to grab them, " Alright nice meeting you lovely ladies. Tats see you later."
"Don't ignore me dammit!"
He lifted a hand to wave without glancing at the angry girl as he closed the door.
"Shuuhei, it's been awhile, it looks like you got a tattoo, please tell me it means something else the obvious." Both men partly hugged each other as they sat at the booth along with Ichigo and Grimmjow.
"It was my Marine infantry squad # before I joined to be an ATF agent. Though I do get a great attention from the ladies." He grinned as the men at the table chuckled.
"Wow ATF agent, but you haven't changed being a perv," Renji stated.
"Yeah, I heard you still the same love sick puppy, Mr. Kuckiki."
"Touche Asshole... Whatever you remember Grimmjow and Ichigo right?" As he motioned to the men beside him who at that moment their gazes respectively were on him giving him their full attention.
"Yeah, who could forget all the rumors in Karakura precede you guys, but rumors in Karakura is mostly bullshit." He said taking a sip of his drink as Ichigo and Renji nodded in agreement.
"Bullshit, most of it is probably true, " the electric blue haired man grinned rather proud of himself.
"Speak for yourself Grimmjow," Ichigo muttered in an irritated tone, " most of the shit that's said about me is bullshit."
"Nah, I'm pretty sure the gay rumors are true," Grimmjow spat.
"Fuck you, I'm not gay."
"Come on not this shit again, we're here to chill out," Renji yelled.
Grimmjow rolled his eyes as Ichigo gritted his teeth and leaned back.
"Anyways...so you here for good?"
"Yeah, there was a team being set-up in Tokyo and I jumped at the chance but I didn't have to beg. I was sent highly recommended, they trust me enough to head it up."
"So seeing as you're here permanently, you're invited to the wedding."
Thanks, but don't you need Rukia's permission." This made everyone grin as Renji's eyes began to twitch.
"Shut the hell up I don't need her permission to invite a friend. Besides I talked to her earlier about you arriving, she's excited."
"Well, Congratulations! I know how much you love that crazy pint-sized female. So when's the bachelor party?" His question received a chuckle and a grim look from Grimmjow and awkward movement from Renji.
"Rukia and Byakuya have planned instead a traditional bathhouse celebration," Ichigo informed Hisagi noticing the other men's silence.
"What the...Renji you owe it to your bros that put up with your ass and Rukia's loud ass comments, " his voice began to rise startling customers.
"Well if your that unhappy, you can speak to Rukia about your disappointment," Renji gave him a look as if daring him.
The spiky haired friend just leaned back and crossed his arms in defeat. But the silence was cut short with a ringtone as Shuuhei picked up his cell looking aggravated.
"I'm not in the mood, Tats" his irritated look quickly changed to confusion, " Nel? W..Why are you using my sister's phone?" He could see the electric blue man's features turn from curious to anger in a matter of seconds. Hisagi ignored the man's tightened grip on the glass cup as he listened to the girl on the line. He rubbed his face with his hand as he continued with gritted teeth, "Sorry...but put her on the damn phone." All the men listened especially an angry Grimmjow who was not too happy with his choice of words and tone to his girlfriend.
"Nice try using your friend to tell me your intentions. I don't care if your too pissed to speak to me, I said we're having this conversation when I get back... Tats... TATS... Nel! I'm sorry but let my sister know I'm serious... Oh."
Then he looked at the blue haired man across and handed him the phone. Grimmjow put his glass down as he looked at the phone with a confused look then at the spiky haired man. He growled and grabbed the phone, "What?" It was direct and to the point, " Yeah, Yeah see you later." He hung up and slid the phone back to him. Shuuhei still irritated downed his cup and poured himself another glass and downing that as well.
"Slow down... What the hell was that?"
"Oh yeah, you remember my sister, Tatsuki?"
"I do remember you having a half sister when your mother remarried, but I totally forgot her name. Yeah so if it's the same Tatsuki who's friends with Nel we all saw her at Rangiku's party a month and a half ago." Renji stated.
"The one with that red revealing dress, except her mouth ruined the look." Grimmjow smugly said.
"Yeah, she's really an expressive girl... Wait! Revealing dress...she what?" He looked at the men around the table who avoided eye contact except for the sly grin of Grimmjow who continued to look at him as he answered.
"It was a short red number with spaghetti straps, it plunged down and opened in the back, I would say that caused a few stares. I was paying more attention to Nel's formed fitted dress." Grimmjow growled in delight.
Shuuhei's jaw dropped at his sister's display of skin, as he could feel a vein begin to pop out. "By any chance was Orihime and Sora's brother there?" He stated with gritted teeth.
"Yeah, the little piece of shit was there, sitting next to her," Grimmjow said with a displeased look.
"Hmpf I liked the kid you're just pissed off because he embarrassed your ass with his comments. Sora says he's a smart kid and Byakuya is interested in having him in his practice once he passes the bar exam." Renji inputted.
Ichigo sucked his teeth as he glared at his cup, this went unnoticed by the blue haired man who grinned.
"Yeah, at least I didn't take shit from him like a scared little bitch." Directing it to Ichigo.
"Fuck you Grimmjow, I didn't feel like kicking his ass especially with Orihime being there." Ichigo's temper flared.
"I don't give a shit, I would of beat his ass in front of that bitch."
Ichigo rose and leaned in front of Grimmjow grabbing him roughly, " You don't fucking call her that, EVER!" He said through clenched teeth.
"What?... A Bitch?" He grinned daring Ichigo. Ichigo leaned his fist back only to be caught by Renji's hand.
"Chill the fuck out Ichigo, and Grimmjow...seriously, shut your damn mouth. Dammit!"
Ichigo leaned back trying to contain his anger as he took a swig of his drink ignoring Grimmjow's laughter.
"Why do you ask about Ulquiorra anyways?" Renji inquired.
"That's his name... my sister's seeing him and she's pissed at me because I made an ultimatum, She's not to see him until I meet him."
"You don't have to worry Hisagi, she wants you to meet him, but forcing her is not going to help the situation," Renji said point blank.
"Unless they're already fucking, then she's just hiding something," Grimmjow blurted out.
This caused the spiky haired man to pale and his fist tighten.
"Fucking hell Grimmjow! Do I need to gag you, I told you to shut the hell up," Renji said dryly, " Shuuhei don't do anything rash, don't start your relationship rough after so many years being apart. Look, if you stop her from seeing him, she's gonna find some way to do it behind your back."
Shuuhei grinned, "I guess your right especially her advice to Orihime."
"Advice?" Ichigo clearly intrigued with the mention of Orihime.
"Yeah, Tatsuki said Orihime is in the process of being in a relationship with you again."
"It's not a process because we're done according to Sora. He made it very clear even going as far as us never being friends again. I don't want her to jeopardize her relationship with her brothers because of me." He said downing the rest of his contents from his glass.
"Well, she's planning something with my sister and Nel," he chuckled as he saw the orange haired man disheveling his hair in irritation.
"You guys make shit complicated, I'm planning on meeting Nel's dad and I don't give a shit what he thinks," Grimmjow said shaking his head.
"You won't but she will if this is getting serious she's going to care what her daddy thinks of you" Renji grinned.
"Pshh, Whatever!" He hesitated as he looked at the contents of his drink, deep down it did bother him, the thought only pissed him off.
Tatsuki was so upset, everyone could tell by her body language. She had run out of her house this morning avoiding her parents' and brother's calls, slamming the door in the process. Her movements when sparing at the dojo was more fierce, her opponents were knocked out in a matter of seconds. Nel had been picked up earlier by Grimmjow which left her alone with her boyfriend.
The walk was silent for a few minutes until it was broken by his low tone, "Your upset."
"Wow, Really! What gave you that impression," she continued to walk until his hand grabbed her arm.
"Tatsuki, there's no need to be angry with me," he said leaning her gently against the wall leaning giving her a kiss. Her anger subsided as she forgot what made her mad in the first place, she wrapped her arms around him. She moaned once he forcefully plunged his tongue into her mouth deepening the kiss. A forced cough interrupted them, she turned to find her brother's scowl at their display of affection. Ulquiorra continued to hold her under him as he glanced over at the man.
"Can we help you?" Ulquiorra commented, making the man's eye twitch.
"You can start by getting off my damn sister," he said through gritted teeth. Ulquiorra made no attempt to move, as he turned his attention from the man to the girl under him. She nodded to him as he leaned off releasing his hold. Ulquiorra stood between the siblings as he continued to stare at the man with an expressionless face. Tatsuki's anger returned as she gave her brother a scowl crossing her arms, " Are you seriously spying on me?"
"No, I need to talk to you but you ran out this morning, didn't you hear us calling you?"
"Yes, I wasn't in the mood this morning."
"And now?"
"Still not in the mood."
"Well you better be in the mood because we're talking. I need to speak to her alone." He directed his last words to the green eyed young man. Who glanced down at his girlfriend who glanced up at him, " Could you give us a moment." He nodded then staring intently at Shuuhei before heading across the street. Shuuhei rubbed the bridge of his nose as he sighed, " Look Tats, I don't want this bad blood between us especially since I've been away for so long, I've missed you."
"I wanted you to meet Ulquiorra but you decided to be an ass about it. I know how to make correct decisions on my own. I'm not a little girl!"
"Yeah, I guessed I missed out on you growing up into a woman, but you're always going to be Lil' Tats to me."
She didn't notice him slowly close the distance between them, as he wrapped his arms around her. She felt a small tear fall down her cheek as she heard him whisper, "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have been angry with you, you were just being a brother."
"A stupid brother," he smiled.
"Yeah!" She laughed making him tighten his hold. They stood that way for a moment as he released her. She began to talk whipping her tears. "So would you like to meet my boyfriend?"
"Sure," he watched her gesture for the boy to come back, walking back to them calmly.
"Ulquiorra, this is my brother Shuuhei Hisagi, Shuuhei this is my boyfriend, Ulquiorra Schiffer."
Both men shook hands firmly, the older man felt uncomfortable under the younger man's scrutiny and expressionless stares.
"So your Sora's and Orihime's brother, I can see the slight resemblance. My pal Renji says your planning to be in the same firm with your brother and Byakuya?"
"Yes, I have a high interest in law. Even though I find it somewhat corrupt, instead of sulking in the past I plan to do something." He said with conviction as Tatsuki started to speak.
"Ulquiorra is interested in taking on the cases involving foster care or defending children who are victims of child neglect." Shuuhei saw the pride in his younger sister's eyes as the young man made no attempt to boast.
"That's very noble of you, in my own way I'm head of a task force in Tokyo who specialize in catching these corrupt people in society."
"So you're here permanently, that's great why didn't you tell me, dumbass?" She punched his arm.
"You ran out his morning remember."
She blushed from the embarrassment as she avoided her brother's gaze.
"Well, it was nice meeting you Ulquiorra, I'll see you tonight Tats. I have a briefing that I've got to get to," he kissed her forehead and nodded to her quiet boyfriend, then entering his car leaving the couple alone.
"If only all brothers were as accepting." She glared at her boyfriend who turned to gaze in her direction.
"Would he be so forgiving if he knew we were having sex?"
She blushed as she looked at him sternly as he continued," Orihime feelings are fragile she doesn't need a man like Kurosaki who becomes easily bored with woman,"
"If you're trying to protect her feelings you're doing a shitty job," in her defiant tone, " you're a hypocrite."
"She's my sister your brother would probably have done the same to me. I told Kurosaki to stay away from her and he decides to do exactly the opposite."
"It's natural to be upset, you're her brother but let her make her own choices."
"Even if I wanted to change my mind, Sora still has the last say."
Tatsuki bit her lip," your both idiots," she turned heading home as Ulquiorra followed.
A curly brown haired man with a cup of sake, Shunsui Oderschvank, laid out on the floor. Dressed in a pink cherry blossomed yukata. He watched her daughter pace back and forth nervously across the room.
"Nel-chan why are you so nervous, I'm always on my best behavior."
The green haired girl dressed in a white and crème yukata, looked at her father sternly, "Pfft your idea of being at your best, is having some run out the door."
"Nel-chan is correct Shunsui, not everyone enjoys your blades flying across inches from their head." Jushiro Ukitake with long white hair dressed in a gray suit entered the room.
"Oh, Uncle Take! Please reconsider joining us for dinner, he always behaves with you." She asked her father's assistant and childhood friend.
"I'm sorry Nel-chan but I have business to attend to in our Tokyo branch if I don't see to it your father most certainly won't." He patted the green haired girl who pouted.
"He does have a point Nel-chan, I told you I'll behave. That incident with the swords was showing a fellow swordsman my skills in swordplay, who knew he couldn't take a joke."
"A joke? The sword nicked him on the cheeks." Nel-chan said with an irritated tone.
"He boasted himself the top in his class and in Japan, who knew he couldn't dodge a simple attack." He took a swig of sake.
"Please, Uncle Take! Please!" She expressed with sincere puppy dog eyes.
"Again I am truly sorry but I'm also already late... and Shunsui lay off the sake."
"You know I'm at my best with a few drinks." The already drunk adult lazing about on the floor.
Jushiro shook his head and said his apologies to the girl again and left.
"Come here, Nel-chan," he watched his daughter sigh as she made her way to her tipsy father, "I already said you can choose whomever you want to be with... you don't need my approval." He grinned as his daughter nervously smiled with downcast eyes as she whispered, "I know."
Then entered the servant announcing a guest's arrival.
"Ah... just in time send him in and give us 15 minutes before sending the food."
"Of course, Sir!" The servant nodded as he escorted the man behind him to enter. Grimmjow stepped in dressed in an expensive gray suit as he looked around the lavished dining area before his gaze found his girlfriend.
"Well, Shit Nel! Aren't you the spitting image of a princess, " he said sarcastically Nel blushed from her boyfriend's prolong stares that were directed everywhere but her face.
"Father! This is Grimmjow Jeagerjacquez. Grimmjow this is my father Shunsui Oderschvank."
"Please, Nel enough of the formalities and let's drink. Grimmjow have a seat." He motioned to the seat in front of him as he gave him a cup filled with sake. A glint formed in the eyes of the blue haired man who formed a wide grin, " Can't argue with that." He took the cup in front of him and began drinking he did this three more times before he stopped. He noticed his girlfriend was giving him a few glares.
"Already had your fill?" Kyouraku responded noticing the younger man's hesitation in drinking his cup.
"Nah, I figured I'll have some later, wouldn't want to spoil my dinner. Right Nel?" He made another sarcastic comment as he huffed and downed his last cup.
"I guess your right, here Nel," handing her the sake," until after dinner." She nodded as she rose from her seat to put away the sake.
Grimmjow saw the older man reach in his yukata grabbing a flask (he was pretty sure wasn't filled with water) as he took a swig and placed it back before Nel returned."See Nel, on my best behavior." Grimmjow smirked at the older man's actions and comment.
"Fuck That!"
"Grimmjow!" She squealed.
"What?" The blue haired man glanced at her curiously.
"Your language!" She stated.
"Your joking right?" He raised a brow at her as she eyed him warningly, " Ahh shit" as he scowled.
"Come now Nel-chan! I've said far worse, you know I'm the furthest from having decent behavior just ask the maids," he whispered the last part to Grimmjow as he gave a wink.
"Oh my God!" Nel whispered palming her face from the blush forming on her cheeks. Ignoring his daughter's embarrassment he continued to chat with the younger man, " So... my daughter tells me you're a mechanic who owns his own business in developing 'Pantera' luxury cars you yourself created?"
"Yeah, I've been always into fast cars."
"Something your grandfather disapproves of?" The older man added glancing at Grimmjow's reaction. This made the blue haired man click his teeth in annoyance at the mention of his grandfather.
"Yeah, the old bastard is pissed because he cut me off trying to teach me a lesson. I showed him didn't I, that I don't need his damn money."
The older man began to laugh, " You're as stubborn as the old man, Genryuusai."
Grimmjow glared at the older gentlemen but was interrupted with servants entering, as they placed the food on the table.
"Ahhh food is here! I'm starving!" The older man yelled.
As the plates were placed, Nel could see the tension in her boyfriend's shoulders, he never talked about his past. She could see that the subject of his grandfather upset him, she was suddenly interested.
"Daddy, how do you know Grimmjow's grandfather," Nel asked nervously as she saw her boyfriend's jaw tighten focusing on his plate.
"Master Genryuusai, as your Uncle Jushiro and I used to call him," the older man smiled reminiscing. "We were both his top pupils; he drilled in us to be the best, he was a strict asshole but he was the best for a reason, no one could match him. His successor was his beautiful daughter Kiyoko. I'm afraid my flirtatious attempts of wooing her failed," he grinned staring into the distance.
"I believe forcing her into marrying one of the other rich families sons sent her into a corner, pushing her into another man's arms. This infuriated him, when she became pregnant under wedlock he shunned her. The man who impregnated her, seemed to not have loved her at all, he left as soon as she was cut off."
Grimmjow continued to stay quiet listening to the story as he ate, Nel seeing him wanted to comfort him but made no attempt to reach out.
"It hit Ukitake and us the most we basically grew up together. When she no longer was at the dojo it was empty without her. I shouldn't be telling you this since your Uncle would kill me, but Jushiro was secretly in love with Kiyoko. When Master Genryuusai disowned his daughter he wanted Jushiro or me to take over his dojo. Ukitake upset with his treatment of his daughter and grandson, he left the dojo in search of her. It wasn't the same without him so I followed him as well. I found him in a rented apartment with Kiyoko 3 months pregnant. Jushiro always the gentlemen stayed with her as a friend keeping his feelings secret. We decided to open up a dojo of our own, with her knowledge of running one we three worked from the ground up. If it wasn't for her we'd probably be on our asses."
Shunsui began to laugh but his smile soon faded as he continued, "Labor was hard on Kiyoko as she gave birth to a son. Master Genryuusai came wanting to speak to his daughter, Jushiro disapproved greatly but it was Kiyoko's choice in the end. After speaking, she choose to stay with the old man as he acknowledged her again as his daughter and her grandson as his successor. Jushiro was excited for her but deep down he was sad and it showed. She passed away a few weeks after the hospital from an aneurysm. I've never seen a man so broken as Jushiro, guilt because of not being forthcoming about what her felt for her. At the funeral he was a different person, I've never seen him so upset, he said a few ugly words to Master Genryuusai before he left. We could of had our main dojo in Tokyo but Karakura is special to us, it's where Kiyoko's spirit remains."
The room was silent, Nel whipped away the tears that were forming before a small chuckle from her boyfriend broke the silence.
"Old bastard never changed, I guess I wasn't disciplined or dedicated in running the dojo. He hated my interest in cars so much I was fucking forbidden to see car shows. Well since I fucking couldn't do that I snuck out to street race. You should of seen the look of disapproval on his damn face when he had to bail me out from getting caught. My grin at his disapproval only pissed him off, so he decided to take away my car. I continued to defy him, so he demanded I give 100% to the dojo or I wouldn't see one cent of my inheritance. So here I am with no help from his ass," he grinned showing his canines. "Nel how about bringing back the sake, I need a damn drink"
Shunsui grinned turning to Nel as she gave both of them a smile and went to retrieve the bottle.
"Grimmjow, if you could do me a favor and keep what I told you about Nel-chan's Uncle, let it not leave this room. I'm sure he'd be upset for divulging his personal information. It sure is a small world, I had no idea my Nel-chan was seeing you. Since I found out who you were, I thought it was only right to share."
Grimmjow nodded in agreement as he took the cup Nel poured for him and chugged it along with Shunsui. The older man leaned towards his daughter and whispered, " He's fun Nel-chan I think next time you bring him, we'll spare." He grinned eyeing his daughter lovingly as she jumped up and down wrapping her arms around her father, " Thank you Daddy, that means so much, I'm glad you like him," she whispered back."
"Where's my hug? Keep neglecting me like that and I'll ask your father to direct me to those maids he mentioned earlier," he grinned mischievously.
"Ahh...but they do more than hugs," he winked.
"Don't encourage him, Daddy," she pouted as Grimmjow leaned over and whispered, " I may reconsider if you gave me a hug in a maid outfit." Then he gave her a peck on the lips leaving the girl in a red tone. He rose to bid his farewell, "That was interesting, I usually am asked to leave when I meet a girl's parents. This is the first."
"Your next visit we can spare, hope you're up for it?"
"Pshh, don't come crying when I beat your ass."
"Likewise!"
Both men nodded and grinned.
"See ya Nel! Oh and Shunsui don't go disappearing on our fight."
"I'll be here." He raised his sake as he watched his daughter walk her boyfriend out.
Orihime did take what Tatsuki said about talking to Kurosaki-kun secretly, but deep down she didn't want to defy Sora. So when Karakura Hospital where her crush worked, was asking for volunteers, her friends wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. They filled out the paperwork and turned it in before she could say yes or no. So here she was sitting in a pediatrician office, Dr. Unohana was her name. The older woman had a kind gentle face with long dark hair that was braided together. She smiled as she gave the three volunteers instructions. Their job was to help entertain the children, since the nurses were held up with other responsibilities.
Orihime was nervous at first wondering if they would like her, but her bright smile and creative wild stories made her the favorite among the volunteers.
"You sure this is your first time with children?" Unohana asked joining the auburn haired girl at the cafeteria.
"Ummm...yes," she nervously said eyeing her tray of food.
"You're a natural it's been your first day and the children already love you. I'm curious Ms. Inoue, you are the only one from our volunteers who is not studying medicine. I don't mean to pry but I'm just curious, what made you volunteer at the hospital?" The older lady asked politely.
"It's okay...I understand it does look kinda weird," she blushed.
"Just a little weird," she agreed as both women laughed.
"You can say my friends sort of forced me into it," she didn't lie but she didn't want to give her the whole truth, that she was stalking a premed student who worked here.
"Well, I'm glad they did and I'm sure the children do too." She gave the auburn haired girl a smile as Orihime nodded and thanked her. As she made her way to leave the older women spoke again.
"Umm one more thing..." The auburn girl nodded nervously hoping she hadn't figured out why she really volunteered.
"Are you by chance related to a Sora Inoue? I know the last name is sort of a common name, I was just curious."
"Yes, I have an older brother named Sora, do you know him?" She asked curiously.
"You can say. We were close when we both lived in Tokyo but that was long ago. Can you tell him I said hi."
"Of course, I'll be happy to tell him."
"Thank you, Ms. Inoue," she waved as she watched the girl disappear.
"You saved her Sora, I'm so glad your alright," she half-smiled fighting back the tears as she made her way back to her shift.
Sora opened the door to his apartment after a day of extensive meetings.
"Is that you Sora?" He heard his sister shout from the kitchen.
"I've made fish and rice, your favorite. I promise I didn't add anything special." She smiled once she saw her brother come into view.
"Thank you, it smells delicious!" He placed his suitcase down, making his way to the table as he sat.
"So how was volunteering at the hospital like?" He asked not really excited that she choose to volunteer at the same hospital Ichigo worked, he let it slide for now it wasn't like she hid it from him.
"It was great, the children loved my stories they were sad to see me leave, which made me sad. I can't wait to see them again." She stated twirling around in the process almost losing her footing but caught herself before she did any damage. Sora smiled at her display of excitement.
"I'm glad you had fun, see there was nothing for you to be nervous about, I told you, if you were yourself the children would love you."
"Thanks, your always right, Sora," she handed him a plate. " Ulquiorra is in his room he and I already ate." She stated when he looked around for his presence.
"I'm sorry I was late today, it was nothing but long meetings one after the other."
"It's alright we know your doing your best, just don't strain yourself," she said concerned she knew he didn't but recently he been coming late because of a certain important case. The case that if he won would make him partner. She knew it was important to him, that's why she didn't complain about her lack of seeing him recently.
"Thank you, Hime! It'll be over soon we're about to settle."
"That's great," she pumped her fist up in cheer," Go Team Sora."
The older man watched her over extensive display of excitement, then she suddenly stopped with her eyes widening as if remembering something.
"I almost forgot... I met a friendly Pediatrician today who knew you from Tokyo.. Her name is Retsu Unohana, she's very pretty and nice. She told me to say hello."
Sora eyes widen at the name then averted his gaze from his sister to his food as he smirked. "So she did become a pediatrician?"
"Yeah, so you know her?"
"Yeah we were childhood friends, we did everything together, we started dating in high school until..." His eyes were distant and calm.
"Until you left for Karakura with me." His sister whispered.
"She knew about my parents, so she would help me take care of you. I told her about my plan and she wanted to come with me, but I couldn't do that to her. So I left and I didn't have the heart to contact her. She was studying to be a pediatrician, I couldn't let her jeopardize that I'm glad she became one."
"I'm sorry Sora," tears were forming in his sister's eyes.
"What do you have to be sorry for,"
"If I wasn't..." She began to talk through tears as she was interrupted.
"Don't ..Don't ever say that... Don't you dare say that. I never regret leaving and I never regretted how my life turned out. We're a family Ulquiorra, you, and I, that's all that matters." He reached over grabbing her hand as she smiled and wrapped her hand in his.
"It's just, you sacrificed so much and I haven't done anything..."
"You being here is enough, you've taken care of me numerous times don't ever think you've done nothing, because you have. So cheer up and smile that always makes me happy."
She whipped the rest of her tears as she gave her brother a bright smile.
"Now sleep Orihime, it's late and you have classes in the morning."
"What about you, you have work?"
"I have the day off tomorrow, Byakuya has seen me working late. He wants me to rest all day Thursday so come Friday, I'll be well rested for the case."
She eyed him for while as she nodded and kissed his forehead bidding him goodnight.
A Dress Consultant was concerned for her most important client, she was taking too long with the bridal dress she gave her 15 minutes ago. As she walked closer and closer to the fitting room she started to hear disturbing noises, soft moans, grunts, and loud thuds on the wall.
"Ms. Kuchiki? Are you alright?" The loud thuds stopped as she heard the woman in the dressing room door speak sounding out of breath, " I..I'm fine just ...mmmmm Oh GOD...not feeling well."
The lady concerned began to ask, " Is there anything I can do to help?"
She heard a hard pound and muffled growl.
"YES, YEs ...if you could get my friend Ms...Ahhhhh mmmmm Matsumoto."
The dressing consultant nodded and rushed out to find the busty blonde in the store, " Okay Right away. Stay where you are."
"I'm not going anywhere."
Rukia heard the rushed footsteps leave, she glanced down at the scarlet haired man who she was wrapped around. He pulled his shaft from her entrance with a growl as he zippered his pants. She eyed the neglected wedding gown she never put on as she started to dress back to her regular clothes.
"Renji! You need to leave, next time you want to surprise me, warn me first." She sternly said with heated cheeks. He leaned down to give her a quick kiss on the lips giving her a grin.
"Then it wouldn't be a surprise, besides I didn't see you complaining a few minutes ago."
"Whatever..go before she sees you..." She opened the door as the scarlet haired man swore and walked out of the dressing area unseen. A few seconds went by as the dressing consultant came back with the busty blonde. They found the petite woman flushed and sweaty.
"Are you alright, Ms Kuchiki?" The lady asked worried.
"Yeah, I'm a little dizzy, can we reschedule tomorrow?"
"Sure, Same time?"she asked relieved.
Rukia nodded as she walked out with Rangiku out the bridal store.
"When Renji said he wanted to talk to you, he really wanted to talk...fufu." She waggled her brows to the petite woman.
"I don't know what came over him, he didn't say anything he just pounced on me."
"Well, can you blame him Rukia! Your brother has a tight leash on you, plus Renji's horny."
"I wonder who's fault if that?" The petite girl grumbled at the blonde.
"Who me? I was just joking."
"Well, Oni-sama didn't find it funny informing him about Renji's late night visits."
"Okay, okay! I'm sorry. I'll make it up to both of you," she batted her eyes innocently.
"No! You've done enough already."
The busty blonde crossed her arms scrunching her face in a pout. Rukia a bit happy at her irritation, she grinned as she thought of something to further upset the blonde.
"So...Renji's old friend arrived and we invited him to the wedding...you remember Shuuhei Hisagi right?"
The blonde stopped and gulped as she began to flush," Oh is that right, he came to visit?"
"Nope, seems he's setting up an office in Tokyo...so he'll be here permanently."
"Wow great for him," she half-smiled.
"Renji found out his little sister was Tatsuki. You remember Orihime's friend."
"I remember him having a sister but I never met her or his family back when... when I knew him," she said flatly.
"You know you broke the fool's heart."
The blonde gazed distantly as she half-smiled , "I guess I did."
"I'll never understand your relationship with Gin, it's just sex and …"
"Sex," the blonde giggled finishing the petite girl's sentence. "Shuuhei deserves someone, someone who won't hurt him."
"You don't really mean that do you Ran?"
"Ahhhh! Come Rukia look at these beautiful clothes," Rangiku ran, oblivious to the petite woman's annoyed stare. The busty blonde eyed the display store items as Rukia took the hint of her wanting to change the subject, as she reluctantly followed.
I've always felt Renji and Rukia were so hot for each other, that they'd do it anywhere. So thought of Renji surprising Rukia who undressing for her wedding dress and seeing her in her underwear, he completely loses it, lol. Also, I like Shuuhei's character and I wanted him in the story, I first wrote him having the tattoo on his face but I like the idea of him having it on the side of his neck *giggles*.
