As the month of January went by, and it was February the 1st a Sunday, Oichi had the house alone. She had been accepted to work in the 9th division within in clothing Alteration Services. That meant she was to go out and about to help with Alterations with those within the center and out through the city. She was also in the clothing department where they made clothes. There she could work on making her own outfits and if they were good enough, they could be sold on the center's website. When she's not working in her main unit, she helps Hisagi around his office and half's his work load. She also works with the 3rd division, working extra jobs. She had a new badge that was light brown and it had her name, the division name, and the symbol of the division. She had also gotten the cast off her ankle at the start of February, but she kept it bandaged up from time to time.
She had a nice time at work and it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. All the people there were nice and help her settle in nicely. Hisagi showed her around and she even got her own office for now. She would be getting paid every two weeks which she didn't mind. The pay out was way better then what she could have been making at the café or the bar.
Today was a windy day. Oichi was sitting outside enjoying the breeze. She was wearing a light blue sweater dress and black leggings and flats. Her hair was in a small bun and she was wearing glasses. She loved sitting outside and enjoying the outdoors. It was so peaceful. She smiled as she closed her eyes to listen to a wind. Suddenly a sharp pain hit her back. She jolted up and gasped out. She jumped up and turned around in a panic to see no one there. Her heart started to beat a little faster. "What…" She rubbed her back. "Was I imagining things?" She frowned and shook her head. "I think that's enough fresh air for the day…"
She walked back inside and closed the door. She sighs and rubs her back again. "I wonder…" She walked to one of the guest bathrooms and pulled up her sweater dress. She turned to the side and saw nothing. She turned over to her other side and saw nothing. "Okay…so it's not that…but that sharp pain in my back…No. I must be overthinking things. It can't be appearing again…"
She pulled her dress down, walked out the bathroom and headed to her room. She grabbed her phone and dialed her father's number. She frowned when it went to voice mail. "Of course…" She waited until she could leave a message. "…Hey papa…look I know your busy and maybe I am overeating here, but I felt a familiar pain in my back. The same as that day…I checked my sides and stuff, but I couldn't see anything but just incase can you bring the medicine for me? Love you." She hangs up. Oichi lays flat on her stomach on the bed. She rubbed her shoulders. They were getting stiff. "Maybe I'm stressed? It's been a while since I got stiff shoulders. I think a bath would help. A good nice soak or a spa. That would be cool haha."
Her phone rings. "Oh not…" She looks at it to see Rangiku calling. "Ugh…what could she want now?" She answered the phone. "Oichi! Let's go shopping today!" Oichi sighs. "No thank you. Every time we got shopping, we go out drinking. Every time we go drinking weird things happened. No thank you." "Aw come on Oichi. You're the best drinking partner ever!" "Rangiku…I'm just not up for it today. How about we just get brunch? My treat?" "Your treat!? Okay! Let's go to the café! I'll pick you up in 10 minutes!" She quickly hung up. Oichi rolls her eyes. "Great…"
Within 25 minutes, Rangiku pulled up. Oichi was waiting outside tapping her foot. She didn't change at all really. Rangiku rolled down the window. "Come on slow poke!" Oichi rolled her eyes. "Me slow and you're the one who is late. I hate being late Rangiku." Rangiku chuckled. "I know but you know what they say, People who are late are found to be more successful." "Oh please…" Oichi says getting in. "My, someone is very grumpy today." Rangiku says before she pulls off and heads to the café.
Oichi hasn't been back to the café since the day she got fired. She had heard from Momo and Kira that it wasn't doing to good and she knew that Nel had quit and went back to her old job. Rangiku pulled up to the café and parked. They walked in to see a few people in. An, worker walked around the corner and notice Oichi. His eyes went wide, and he walk to her. "Oichi!" He hugged her. Oichi giggled and hugged him back. She then felt a jolt in her back. She tensed up and pulled away a bit. "Hey! I see you are pushing it through." The male worker sighed. "Barely…Luppi is bringing this place down to the ground. Please tell me you're here to take over?" Oichi smiled sadly. "Sorry, I'm here as a customer today." The worker frowned. "I see. Well I hope everything is going well for you. Will you be dinning down here or in the café?" "Depends…where does Luppi usually stay?" "Upstairs…" "Then downstairs it will be." Oichi says. The worker chuckled and lead them to the booth. "The menu has changed a lot since you left." He says passing out the menu. "Can I just have the raspberries and cream Danish with vanilla glaze and some tea?" Oichi says without looking at the menu. Rangiku smiled. "You remembered the menu?" "Of course, these are the menu's that the old café used. You might like Iced raspberry Danish braid." Rangiku nodded and the handed the menu back.
Oichi rubbed her shoulders and sighs out. "Stiff shoulders?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah, I feel so tense…" She moved her hand down to her sides and around to her back. She could feel a little tingly burning. "Your back to?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah, I think I'll have a nice hot bath when I get back to the house." The workers came back with the tea. "Here you go. Your dishes will be here in a few more minutes." Oichi smiled. "Thank you." Oichi looked around the shop. She's never seen the shop this dead before. Why did they allow Luppi to take over if they knew this was going to happen? Oichi felt a bit annoyed and angry that she got fired from this place. Even if the two companies abandon the shop she would have still worked here and do her best to keep this place up. Luppi seem like he did not care and it was hurting the people who worked here. She signs and rubs her back more. Something wasn't right.
The worker came back moments later with their food. Oichi and Rangiku talked a bit about what was going on in their lives and it end up with Oichi listening to Rangiku go on and on about shopping, love, and other things. As the time went by Oichi felt something pinching her back. She frowned and reached to pull her dress down a bit. When she did, she pulled a bit harder then she wanted to and felt something rip off her back. Her eyes widen and her body tenses up. Rangiku notices her expression. "Oichi is something the matter?" "Oh…No, please keep going." Rangiku frowned and was about to get up when they heard laughing. "Well, well, well look who I see." Oichi frowned as Luppi walked to the table. He was the last person she wanted to see right now. She let go of her dress and grabbed her purse, taking money out and sat it on the table. "I guess we are done here?" She says looking at Rangiku who nodded. They both get up, ignoring Luppi. Luppi frowned and quickly jumped in front of Oichi. "Now wait a second. Aren't you going to say hi to me? I mean l did take your job you know. Shouldn't you be jealous of me by now?" Oichi sighs. "If you were actually running the shop then maybe I would give you props for taking my job but its clear to me that you aren't even trying. There is nothing for me to be jealous of. So can you please move out of my way." Luppi glared at her as she walked around her. "Now wait just one minute!" Luppi reached out and grabbed Oichi's shoulder. Oichi felt a sharp pain. She hissed out in pain and smacked his hand away. Luppi jumped back in a bit of surprise. Oichi held her shoulder. It was throbbing, and the pain was slowly going down to her lower back. Rangiku race to her, pushing Luppi out the way. "Oichi are you alright?" She reached out to touch Oichi but Oichi moved her hand away. "D-Don't touch me…please…" She bites her lip. "I'm sorry but I have to go." She ran out of the café. "Oichi wait!" Rangiku frowned and looked at Luppi. "You have a lot of nerve to put your hand on a customer! You will be hearing from me about this do you understand me!" Luppi brushed himself off. "I have done nothing wrong! She freaks out from a little tap then maybe she shouldn't even be allowed outside!" Rangiku shot him a very frightening glare that quickly shut him up. She then walked out the café calling Hisagi. Luppi sighs out and felt a shiver run down his back. He glances over to see a few workers frowning and glaring at him.
Oichi ran into the park. She looked around and saw the bathrooms and ran into the woman's room, locking the main door behind her. She shivered and looked at the mirror. She prayed that what was causing her pain wasn't what she thought it was. She walked up to the mirror and gulp. She raises her sweater dress like she did earlier and turned to her side. She bit her lip as she could see a layer of skin peeling from her body. Her heart race and she pulled her dress down. She hugged herself. 'Crap…Crap…not now…why now of all times…' Suddenly there was banging on the door. Oichi jumped until she heard Rangiku's voice "Oichi!? Are you in here!? Open the door!" Oichi brushed her dress down carefully, ignoring the pain for a bit. She took a deep breath. 'Just got to make it home…' She walked to the door and opened it. Rangiku grabbed her by her shoulders. Oichi tensed up in pain but didn't say anything. "Oichi are you okay!? Did he hurt you in anyways? Are you still injured from that time and you didn't tell anyone!? We need to take you to the hospital right away!" Before Oichi could say anything, Rangiku started to drag her out the bathroom. "I called Hisagi but I'll to tell him to meet me at the hospital." "Wha- No, Rangiku I'm okay really!" "Do not lie to me Oichi. You ran out that shop and even left your purse. I do not call that being okay. We are going to the hospital no if, and's or butts! You hear me!" Oichi looked down. Rangiku could be so pushy and motherly at the same time it was a bit confusing. "Rangiku I'm fine. I just got a little spooked you know…with me getting attacked and everything…" Rangiku stopped. "I do admit that I am still a bit scared when I'm around other people. I'm trying to get over it I swear but, that night was just…it's something I never thought would happen to me." Rangiku sighs and lets her go. "Oichi, you can't keep things like this to yourself. It's not fair to those who care about you and who are trying to help you. If you're in pain or your scared you should let someone know. Do you think we are going to judge you because of what happened? No. In this day in age things like that will happen. It's happened to many women, so you are not the only one dealing with something like this."
Oichi hung her head down a bit. "Yes, I know and I'm very sorry…I'm just trying to move on from this." Rangiku shook her head and placed her hands on her hips. "Come on, I'm taking you home. Maybe I was a bit pushy today. I'm sorry for that." Oichi smiled. "It's okay Rangiku. Thank you for caring so much. It really helps a lot."
Rangiku took Oichi home where Hisagi was just pulling in the drive way with hast. Oichi groans slightly to herself as she felt another rip coming from her back. "Oichi!" Oichi looked to see a worried Hisagi looking down at her. "Hisagi. Hi." He bends down to her. "Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?" "No, I just need to lay down…" 'And get up with my dad.' Hisagi nodded and helped her out the car. "You didn't need to come home Hisagi. You got a lot of work pilled up at the office." Hisagi shook his head. "It can wait. I'll head out as soon as you are inside and comfortable. I'll cook dinner tonight so just get as much rest as you can." Oichi nodded. "Thank you Hisagi."
A few days past since that day. Hisagi, Momo, and Kira were all standing in front of Oichi's door. She had locked herself in the room for a few days. Momo was worried. Unless she came out when they were working, she wasn't sure if Oichi was eating. Hisagi had put her on sick leave until they figured out what was going on. "Maybe we should call Nel? She might can get through to Oichi." "Yeah and we will lose a door…and get an ear full about not taking care of her…" Hisagi says. Kira rubbed his head. "True…and if she brings Grayson, I don't think I'd be able to go with his crying and screaming like at the hospital." Momo walks up to the door and knocks on it. "Oichi? Are you sure your okay?" They waited. "Yes…" They heard her say. "D-Do we need to call someone? You've been in the room for a few days." "I'm fine…" Oichi says. Momo sighs and looks at her watch. "We are going to come back during lunch okay? Please call us if you need anything." She didn't get a response. Momo looked down sadly. Kira placed a hand on her shoulder. "If she says she's okay then she's okay. Come on, let's go."
Once they left, Oichi in her room was laying on the bed in only her underwear. She had her phone in her hand and dried tear marks on her cheeks. On the floor was a towel and a bunch of light tan skin that looked like it had been peeling off in chunks. If anyone would walk in she wouldn't be able to explain what happening nor the sight they would see on her back. She bit her lip. Of all the times for this to happen, it would happen now. She tears up as she felt something ripping off her back. She buried her head in the pillow and waited until the pain faded a bit. She lets out a deep breath and turns her body slightly, letting the skin slide off her. Her phone beeped. She turns the screen and saw a message from her dad. "Finally…" She opened and it and said 'I'm very busy at the moment pumpkin. Can this wait.' Oichi frowned and texted back what was happening to her back. She was a little more upset since she told him the situation through voice mail. With him saying this, tells her that he didn't even bother to listen to them. She tears up in either anger or frustration. Her phone rings and she see that her father was calling. She almost didn't pick up but she had no choice.
"Yes…" She says sniffing. "Oichi? Where are you?" "If you would have just picked up the damn phone this wouldn't be happening!" Oichi suddenly yelled bursting out in tears. "Oichi, I know, I'm sorry but I didn't think…" "You didn't think what I had to say was important!? All the voice messages I left you!? You didn't think something was up!? I have NEVER asked you for anything and the one time I do you IGNORE ME! I'm sitting here in pain with my back-skin cover peeling! You were the one who told me not show nor tell anyone about what's on my back and yet you aren't even helping me when I need you!" She cried a bit as her back peeled more. "My daughter please calm down…I'll be with you in a few moments of time." "You better…" Oichi says and hangs up on her. She turns to her camera and holds it up and tries to snap a picture of her back. She breathes out as she brings the camera down. She frowned as she saw her skin cover reviling three deep scars on her back. They ran from her right shoulder down to her left hip. She drops her phone and puts her face in the pillow. Those scars had a deep secret she's never told anyone not even Renji or Ichigo.
Later that day, Hisagi, Momo, and Kira were welcomed home by an irritated Dante. Momo walked up to him a little nervous. "Um…Excuse me?" Dante looked down at her. "Are you the owner of this house?" "Are you Oichi's father?" Momo asked. Dante tilts his head to the side. "I am…I need to get into your house to see her and she will not pick up the phone and I did not want to break your door down to get to her." Kira rubbed his head. "Well…we thank you for that at least." Momo goes to the door and unlocks it. They walk inside with Dante following them with a suitcase in his hand. "I'll show you to her room." Hisagi says.
Dante follows him to Oichi's room where they hear cries. Hisagi frowned and rushed to her room. "Oichi? Oichi are you alright?" "Go away!" She yelled. Hisagi knocks on the door. "Oichi. I'm not going away until you tell me what's wrong." "I said GO away Hisagi!" She cried out. Dante moved Hisagi out the way. "Oichi. If you can, try to come unlock the door for me. I have your meds." Hisagi rubbed his arm and looked at Dante with a confused looked. 'Meds? Oichi doesn't take any meds unless she's sick…' He heard Oichi sniffing from inside the room and heard a click from the door being unlock. Dante opened the door. Hisagi walked behind him, trying to get in as well but Dante pushed him back. "You are not needed boy." Hisagi narrowed his eyes at him. "Excuse me? If Oichi is in pain, then I'd like to do anything I can to help her." Dante raised his eyebrow and then chuckle. "How cute that you have feelings for my daughter but I'm sure you know that she is taken." He looked Hisagi up and down. "I do not think you even have what it takes to make her happy so know your place." He walked in the room and closed it, locking it behind him.
Hisagi gripped his fist at Dante's words. Sure, he and Oichi spoke about where they stood but he knows that he could have made her happy if she would have given him a shot. Hisagi sighs out and leans on the wall to wait. Just because he wasn't allowed in the room, he wasn't going to just tuck tail and walk away. Not until he knew Oichi was okay.
Kira and Momo walked to him. Momo had changed into a baggy pair of pants and a t-shirt. Kira was still in his work clothes. "Where is Oichi's father?" Momo asks. "In the room with her. He wouldn't let me come in, so I have no clue what's going on. She was crying when we got here." Momo interlocked her fingers. "I hope she's okay…"
They waited in the hallway in what seemed like hours. They heard no sound come from the room. There was a creepy silence between them but none of them wanted to leave.
They soon heard the door unlock and Dante walked out with a black bag. He was also wearing gloves. He sighs as he took off the gloves and tosses them in the bag and ties it up. Looking up to see Hisagi, Momo, and Kira, he frowned. "Your still here I see…" "We do live here." Hisagi says. Momo nudged him. "Right…I really must get Oichi out of here." He mumbles to himself. "Anyways, I need to go gather a few things. Since you feel like you need to protect my daughter, I will give you the task of watching her. Do NOT touch her nor wake her. I shall be back in one hour." He says and walked away. When he disappeared from their sight, Momo was the first one to run in the room.
When she did, she was hit was a strong honey scent. She looked to see Oichi passed out on the bed with bandages wrapped around her back. Momo walked up to her and looked at the bandages. "What on earth…" Hisagi and Kira walked in to see this as well. "Bandages? On her back? Why do you think that is?" Kira asked rubbing his chin. Hisagi had his arms crossed. "I don't know…there isn't anything on her back that would need to be bandaged like this." Momo sat on the floor cross legged. "It seems everyone has secrets, even Oichi…"
As Dante said, he returned within the hour and kicked them out the room. He had brought back a jar with a beautiful light blue and red rose. He stayed in the room with Oichi for another hour or two before he came back out. He had his suitcase and rubbed his neck. Momo was sitting on the floor texting Rangiku. Kira had left to make dinner and Hisagi was leaning on the wall. He and Dante locked eyes. "Well, I am done here." "What did you do and what is up with the bandages on Oichi's back?" Hisagi asked. "That is none of your concern." Momo stopped and stood up. "Oichi is our friend. Shouldn't we know so that we can help her the next time this happened?" Dante sighs. "Your help is not needed but I do thank you for looking after her. Unfortunately, what happened here will remain between me and Oichi for now. I'm sure that in the future things will change…or maybe not…I don't really care in some sense. Good bye for now." He says leaving. Momo huffed her cheeks out. "He is so rude and mean…how could a man like that be Oichi's father?" Hisagi pats her head. "I agree with that. Let's check on Oichi."
They walked in the room to see Oichi still out with a blanket over her. The honey scent was still lingering in the room. Momo walked over and pulled the blanket up a little to see her back. "No way…" she whispers. Hisagi frowns. "What is it Momo?" Momo moves out the way to let Hisagi see. The bandages were no longer on Oichi's back. Her back was bare and moist. "What the hell is going on?" Hisagi mumbles out. Momo rubbed Oichi's back gently and then looked at her fingers. "What is it Momo?" "Hmm…I don't know…her back feels kinda silky?" They both glanced at Oichi and then back at each other with confused looks.
Very early that next morning, Oichi woke up. Her body felt light and she could smell a hint of honey all over her. She sits up and the blanket falls to her hips. She looks down to see she was naked. Pulling the blanket up she looked around the room. It was around 4am so the sun wasn't up just yet. Getting up, she reaches for her lamp and turns the light on. She turned around and froze when she saw Hisagi and Momo. Momo was fast asleep on the chair and Hisagi was sitting on the floor, with his head back on the wall. 'What in the world? Why are they in my room?' Her face started to get a bit red when she glanced at Hisagi. Trying hard not to wake them, she tip toed over to the closet and opened it, grabbing a night gown. She then slipped into the bathroom and closed the door quietly and locked it. She sighs out and turns the light on in. Looking at the mirror she rotated her shoulders and turned around to get a quick view of her back. It was bare again and she felt no pain like yesterday. She smiles. 'I guess papa refreshed it. I need to call him and apologize for snapping at him.' She slips on her night gown. She placed her hands on the sink and put her head down. 'It's been a while since my back was uncovered…I hope they didn't see it.' She squeezed the sink a bit. 'I don't want them to look at me differently for what's happen to me…I've kept this from them for that very reason. Please…Please let them not notice…'
"Oichi?" There was a knock at the door. It was Hisagi. Oichi took a deep breath and straighten her self out. She opened the door and came face to face with a worried Hisagi. "Your okay…" He says sighing out in relief. Oichi smiled. "Sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to yell at you like that. It was rude of me and I know you were trying to help." Hisagi smiled. "It's fine. You must have been feeling quite bad to snap at me like that." Oichi rubbed her head. "Yeah…" There was an awkward silence between them. "Oichi…about last night…the bandages on your back?" Oichi held her breath. "O-Oh…that was nothing really…those were herb bandages to help with my b-back…" Hisagi raised his eyebrow. "herb bandages? What were they healing?" "Just…pains in my back…" "Uh huh…pain that had you in tears and lashing out at others?" Oichi said nothing. Hisagi crossed his arms. "Oichi don't lie to me. I was worried about you yesterday." Oichi sighed. "Hisagi…I hate lying to you but…I…there is nothing to say. It's a private matter that I do not want to discuss." Hisagi gave her a bit of hurt look but at the same time he understood that. "Everyone has their secrets." He pats her head. "I know you can't come to me about everything, but I hope one day you will find someone to open to fully."
Oichi smiled a bit. "Thank you Hisagi. I'm sorry." "No need to be sorry. I am glad that your better." He turns around to see Momo still sleep. "I'll take Momo to bed. You get some rest as well okay?" Oichi nodded. She watched as he picked a sleeping Momo up and left the room. Oichi hugged herself. 'Find someone to fully open up to…' "Maybe it is time I told him…unlike with Renji I'm sure Grimmjow won't judge me to much…or maybe he will find me disgusting…" She sighs out sadly. "I guess there is no point in thinking about it now. I should get to sleep. I have days of work I need to make up." She heads to her bed and lay down. "I wonder what Grimmjow would think of me if he saw them." She turns over and closes her eyes drifting off to sleep.
More day's pass and it was now the 10th, A Tuesday. The week of Valentine's day. In the bathroom, Oichi was rubbing her hair down with a smile. She was wearing a brown and orange strip dress with a brown cut shirt over it. Her matchings shoes were beside the bed next to her pocket book. She was clipping on her ear rings when there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" She yelled out. The door open and Hisagi walked in. "Oichi are you ready?" Oichi was putting on some light make up. Not to, much or it would break her out. She walked out and smiled. "I am! I just have to put on my shoes." "What has you so excited today?" Hisagi says asking her. Oichi giggled while slipping into her shoes. "I get to see Grimmjow soon! I got a word from Toshiro yesterday! I can't help but to be a little excited! I get to visit him every month on the 14th." Hisagi chuckled. "I see, is that why you took the weekend off?" Oichi nodded. "Yes, I get to spend two days with him. So long as he keeps behaving." She grabbed her purse and check to make sure her badge was in there. "Alright, I'm ready!"
Hisagi and Oichi walked out the room and into the kitchen were Momo and Kira were eating breakfast. "Good morning you two. Oichi those colors fit you to nicely." Oichi smiled. "Thank you." Kira noticed Oichi's good mood. "Something happened with Grimmjow?" Oichi smiled brightly. "Yes!" Momo laughed. "You get to see him today?" "No, Saturday! I'm a little over excited. I get two whole days with him." She clamps her hands together. She couldn't keep herself from smiling. Hisagi chuckled. "Come on let's go before we are late." Oichi nodded and waved good bye to Momo and Kira.
Once they were gone Momo sighs and puts her head on the table. "Momo?" "I can't keep doing this Kira…pretending like everything is okay when it's not." Kira sips on his coffee. "Yeah…but Hisagi says Oichi doesn't want to talk about it. So we shouldn't push her into it." Momo groans out. "I guess so…" Kira chuckled. "She will open up when she is ready. If you push her into talking, she will get upset and close herself off. You don't want that do you?" Momo sat up. "Of course not! I'll wait until she is ready to talk then call her silly for ever thinking we would think any less of her." Momo says.
At the hospital, Orihime and Ichigo were waiting on Uryu to see them. Orihime was munching on some chips as she laid on the bed and Ichigo was reading a baby book he had picked up in the front lobby. Uryu walked in with an ultrasound tablet. "Sorry to keep you waiting you two." Orihime smiled. "It's okay. We weren't waiting for long." "So how are you feeling today?" Orihime rubbed her two-month stomach. "I'm doing just fine." Uryu looked at Ichigo who sighed. "Just a few mood changes and morning sickness. Other than that she's fine." Uryu nodded and wrote something in his tablet. "Alright let's get your ultrasound on the way." Ichigo closed the book and walked up to the bed next to Orihime. Uryu pulled up Orihime's shirt and rubbed some jell on it. Orihime shivered at the coldness. Ichigo chuckled at her. Uryu handed them the tablet and placed the wand over her belly. He rubbed it around a few times before a picture came into view. Orihime smiles. "Look Ichigo! Our baby!" Ichigo smiled. "Yeah."
Uryu pushed his glasses up. "In the second month the baby will start to develop facial features such as the mouth, tongue, and nose. Soon it will start to move around but you won't be able to feel it moving around just yet. By the end of the second month the baby will develop its organs, skeleton, and limbs. The placenta will have also formed and will start to provide nutrients to the baby over the rest of the pregnancy." Orihime rubbed her fingers over the screen. "When will be able to see the gender?" "Around 22 weeks or 5 months. Are you looking forward to a boy or girl?" "It doesn't really matter to me so long as it comes healthy. Right Ichigo?" He nodded. "Can you some pictures Uryu?" Orihime asked. "Yeah, of course, how many would you like." "Just four. I want to give one to Oichi!" Uryu chuckled and took the pictures. He then cleaned her off and handed them to her. "Oh, we heard that Rukia had the baby. How is she? We couldn't come see her snice she had the baby at the manor." Ichigo rolled his eyes. "Byakuya's idea no doubt…" Uryu pushed his glasses up. "She and her daughter are doing well. Renji was making a huge racket as always but he calmed down after seeing his daughter." Orihime smiled. "Having a baby can really change a person huh." Ichigo helped her off the bed. "Thanks a lot, Uryu can you make sure Tatsuki gets one of the pictures!?" Uryu nodded and waved good bye to them.
In the center, Oichi was carrying some paper work for Hisagi to sign. She had read over them a bit and had put them in the order of importance to Hisagi. She had learned that the former boss of this division had switched sides. It was the man Tosen that she had met at the café back then. It really sucked that he left them in such a hole but Hisagi was doing really well to keep things together. She knocked on Hisagi's office door. "Come in." Oichi walked in to see him drinking a cup of coffee. "Hisagi I have some things you need to sign." Hisagi rubbed his head. "Of course. You can sit them with the rest." Oichi smiled. "I placed them in an order of importance for you. The ones at the top are some you haven't seen yet but the ones under it are just simple regular ones you have already looked over." She placed it on his desk. Hisagi looked them over and removed three from the top. He smiled as he signed off on the rest of them. "That sure did help a lot. Thank you Oichi." Oichi smiled. "Any time Hisagi. Oh and…" She handed him a folder. "This is from the 3rd division. I was asked to give this to you." Hisagi leans back in his chair and opens the folder. "Hmmf…it's just something for another meeting. Thank you." Oichi nodded and walked out, closing the door behind her.
She walked down a floor to where she had one of the smaller offices to herself. She opened the door and walked in. The walls were empty, and the color was light brown with a hint of orange mixed in. She had a small L shape desk and an empty wall case behind her. She looked at it and sighed. "Well in due time it will be stacked up with something." She took a seat at her desk and opened her laptop. There weren't any schedule alterations at the time, so she was doing some spreadsheets for other divisions. They were a job request. She hummed a bit as she worked. There was a knock at the door. "Come in." She says. A large man with a top knot and large sideburns pops his head in. He had a large thick mustache above his lips and thick arching eyebrows that hang close to his eyes. "Ms. Yamamoto?" Oichi looked up. "Hello. Can I help you with something?" The man walked in. "My name is Toshimori Umesada I have been assigned to assist you with any work you may need." Oichi tilts her head a bit. "Who assigned you?" "Mr. Shuhei ma'am." "Mmm…well I'll talk to him about that later but, I don't really have anything to do right now so you can return to your station if you like." "Yes ma'am. If you need any help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask." Oichi smiled. "I will. Thank you." Toshimori nodded and left, closing the door behind him. Oichi sighs. "Really now Hisagi. If anything, he should be assigning people to help him with all his work." She shakes her head and goes back to her work. 'He must still be a bit worried about me. He is a sweetheart, he'd make a lucky girl happy one day.'
Minutes later, there was another knock on the door. "Come in." She says. The door open and Orihime and Ichigo walked in. Orihime had a pass around her neck. "Hi Oichi!" Oichi smiled. "Orihime! Hi!" Oichi got up and walked over to her. "Wow you have a nice office." Ichigo says. Oichi smiled. "Thanks. Wait until I actually start putting stuff in here Haha. So, what do I owe this visit?" Orihime held up an ultrasound. "We brought you this." Oichi smiled and took the picture. "Aw! Are you looking forward to a boy or a girl?" Orihime and Ichigo held hands. "It doesn't matter as long as its healthy." Orihime says smiling. Oichi giggled. "I'm super happy for you two. I can't wait until your belly starts showing more. I'm a little interested to see what your cravings are. I read that usually the baby would crave whatever the father's favorite food is." "You don't say?" Ichigo says. "Is that why you have been eating a lot of chocolate and mentaiko karashi?" Orihime licked her lips. "Mmm that sounds really good. I want to melt the chocolate on top of it and add a small tang of pickle juice." Oichi laughed. "Ew…but understandable. Pregnant women have some weird cravings. Be ready to run back and forth to the store Ichigo."
The door opened wider and an employee came in with a stack of papers. "Ms. Yamamoto? I was requested to send these to you." Oichi smiled. "Please put them on the desk." She looked at Orihime and Ichigo. "Well it looks like its time to get to work." Orihime smiled. "Alright then. Work hard. I'll bring you more pictures okay." Oichi nodded and waved good bye to them. Once they were gone. Oichi went back to her desk and started to work.
It wasn't until 12pm hit, when Oichi finally finished all her work. She ran her hand through her hair and sighed out. "Now, that's all the paper work out of the way now let's see how many orders I have." She picked up a paper and looked at it. "Hmm…I need to go to 6th division and help with alterations for…baby clothes?" Oichi frowned. "Great…" She ran down the list. "This really sucks...The only order I have and I have to go there" She sighed. "It's better than having none at all I suppose." She gets up and heads out of her office. She was holding onto to the paper. "Let's see…I need blue, red, and white fabric materials. A ribbon and needles." On the orders the person usually have what was needed for the job.
Oichi walked across the hall and went to the supplies room. It was where they kept all the supplies for the clothing department. Oichi kind of wanted that to change. Since there were so many people in the department there should be a personal bin for everyone so that people wouldn't get stuck at this one room. She understood that it wasn't busy for a major change like that, but you never know. It helps to be prepared. She grabbed a pouch and started to fill it with the items she needed. When she was done, she went to Hisagi's office. His door was open, so she just knocked on it. Hisagi looked up. "Oh, Oichi. Are you going to lunch?" "No, I'm heading to the 6th division for an alteration." She looked at his desk. "Is your desk pilling up more paperwork by the second?" Hisagi sighs. "Yeah as usual." "Did you need some help? I can at least organize everything for you. That way you don't feel so cluttered." Hisagi smiled. "I like that but first do your duties. I look forward on hearing a good report and try not to push yourself." Oichi nodded. "Yes sir."
She turned around and walked off. She liked taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Her badge was hanging around her neck since she couldn't get in without it.
She walked out of the building and headed toward the 6th division. As she walked, she took in more of this place. As she learned through the month, she worked here it was indeed just another city within a city. There was a bus station ran by the 8th division and it took people around to the different divisons, the living quarters, the academy, and it even took people outside the city if they didn't live here. For the bosses of each division there was a monthly meeting that was held in the 1st division area. After the bosses there were those who were like the underboss who was second in command. When the bosses were busy, they took care of everything else. Oichi saw it as a captain and lieutenant type of scenario or a General manager and an Assistant Manger. She wasn't sure what it was properly called around here but that was the best she could make sense of it. While she could have taken the bus, she loved walking around. She would discover something new almost every day. Just the other day she found a park were there was a Sakura tree and a small pond with the cute baby ducklings.
Reaching the 6th division she walked in and showed the badge to the clerk. "I'm from the 9th division. I have a request to make some alterations." The clerk looked at a list. "Ah yes, from Mr. Kuchiki. He is waiting on you in his office. Good luck." Oichi smiled at her and nodded. She took the stairs up to the 4th floor where Byakuya's office was. When she got there, she could hear a baby crying. She frowned but shook her head. She knocked on the door and heard him tell her to come in.
Opening the door, Oichi's looked around in shock. Byakuya's whole office had a lot of baby clothes that were on mannequins. They were all line up behind his desk and around the walls. "Oh my…" Oichi says walking in. "Oichi?" Oichi looked over to see Rukia holding a light pink blanket. She was bouncing it. "Hi there Rukia." "Ms. Yamamoto." Oichi turned to see Byakuya and Renji standing by the window. "Over here." Oichi closed the door and walked over to them. Byakuya was holding a cute blue one piece. In his other hand was red tutu that looked like it had been ripped from the piece. "Sir?" Byakuya handed her the clothes. "I ordered a few clothes for my niece but some of the clothes have been torn and ripped. While usually I would send the clothes back and sue whoever deliver the boxes, I figured this would be a good way to test your abilities." Oichi smiled. "Of course, sir. I will fix them to the best of my abilities."
Oichi took the one piece and the tutu and sat it down on the desk. She opens her pouch and got to work. Rukia sighed as she bounced her crying daughter. Renji walked over to her. "Maybe she's hungry maybe sleepy?" "She's not Renji. She's just in a mood right now. She will calm down soon enough. Is that right my little Ichika?" Rukia smiled as she started to rock her. It only made Ichika cry a little louder. Oichi sighed as she quickly handled the alteration. She really just wanted to leave as soon as she could. "Did you change her?" She asked. They looked at her. "She might have wet herself." Rukia and Renji looked at each other. "I thought you changed her before we got here?" Rukia asked. "I did." Rukia lays a fussy Ichika on the couch and opens the blanket. Ichika was wearing cute pink one piece that said 'I'm a ball of fire' That Renji had gotten her. Rukia quickly checked her and frowned. "She needs to be changed." She frowned at Renji who held his hands up in defense. "I swear I changed her!" "She's a baby. She's going to wet herself more than once within a day and she will cry until she gets changed. Trust me on that." Oichi says holding up the one piece to Byakuya. "I'm finished with this one sir." Byakuya grabbed it and looked it over. "Hmm…perfect. Now work on the rest of them. I look forward to the end results. If you need more fabric, I will send for more." Oichi got up and looked at a few of the outfits that were messed up. "Hmm…no I will be fine. Some of it is just patch work." Byakuya nodded. "Once you are done, I will send the money to your account information and give a detail report to your superior. Now if you will excuse me, I have a meeting to attend to." He grabbed his folder and walked out closing the door behind him.
Rukia had changed Ichika and she was finally calming down. "Here go throw this away." Rukia says handing him the dirty diaper. Oichi was busy doing a few alterations. Rukia picked up Ichika and got up. She walked over to Oichi. "Um…Oichi? Would you like to hold her?" Oichi stopped and looked at Rukia. She looked down in her arms to see Ichika. She had red eyes and large violet eyes. They were staring right at Oichi. Oichi smiled sweetly at her making her eyes sparkle a bit. "I'm sorry Rukia but I'm quite busy. I have to get this job done and head back to my office. I still have quite a bit to do." Rukia frowned and looked down. "I see…then I shouldn't bother you. Thank you for the advice though." She turned around making Ichika fuss a bit. "Calm down sweet heart." Rukia says rocking her.
Oichi blocked her out for now. She couldn't help to feel that same jealous feeling stirring inside her. She rubbed her stomach and closed her eyes. 'Stay calm Oichi. That is a life that you just weren't meant to have. You have Grimmjow now and no matter how much this hurts you must stay focus.' She opened her eyes and took a deep breath and got back to work. Renji, who had walked back in had saw her do this. He couldn't help but to feel a bit hurt watching her struggle about this but there was nothing he could say or do anymore. Now that Ichika was born he had to stop thinking about her and stop second guessing his feelings. He and Rukia were getting married in June and he could keep lusting after someone her. No matter how much he wanted to.
Oichi grabbed an outfit and rubbed it. "There is a tear here. I can sow it back up. She reached in her pouch to grab a needle. Suddenly Ichika let out a very loud cry making her, Renji, and Rukia jump. Oichi ended up dropping the needle. 'Shit…' Renji quickly went to Rukia who was trying to call Ichika down. "What's wrong now!?" Renji said in a panic. "I'm not sure. She just started crying." Rukia says.
Oichi bends down and starts looking for her needle. Renji turned back to ask Oichi for help until he saw her bending over. His eyes went right for her butt. He gulped as he tried turning away. Oichi cursed mentally as she got down to her knees. 'This is why I need my glasses. At times like these.' She rubbed her fingers carefully on the floor until she found it. "Got it!" She smiles and gets back up. She rubs her dress off and turns around to a blushing Renji and Rukia glaring at him. Ichika's crying got louder and her face started to turn a bit red. Oichi frowned. She placed her things on the desk. She really didn't want to do this, but she couldn't just let the child cry while her parents did nothing.
She walked to Rukia and held her hands out. "May I try something?" Rukia nodded and handed Ichika to Oichi. Oichi walked away from them and gently rocked Ichika. "Shh…its okay little one. No need to cry now." She rubs Ichika's cheek with her finger. Ichika started to calm down a bit. Oichi starts to hum slightly and rocks her slowly. Ichika eyes opened and looked at her. A small smile came to her teary-eyed face. Oichi couldn't help but the chuckle. 'Such a slick baby' Oichi hums to her a bit more until Ichika's eyes started to close. Once Ichika was fast asleep Oichi gave her back to Rukia. "Thank you." Rukia says whispering. Oichi said nothing as she went back to work. Rukia smiles and looks down at a napping Ichika. Renji sighs as watches Oichi work.
When Oichi was done with her work she packed up her things and left a detail paper on what she did with each outfit. She then left without a word to Rukia and Renji but, it didn't stop Renji from following her out. "Oichi? Can we talk for one second?" Oichi ignored him and kept walking. Renji frowned and followed her out the office floor and out to the stair case. It was there that he grabbed her to stop her from walking. Oichi frowned and snatched away from him. "Don't touch me." She says brushing herself off. Renji took a step back. "Oichi please listen to me." "Renji leave me alone. I don't want to be anywhere near you nor listen to whatever you have to say. Nothing you will ever say to me will make up for everything you and Rukia have done to me." Renji looked out. "Even if I told you that I'm sorry." "We both know you don't mean that." "I do Oichi. I really do. I'm really sorry for what I did. I hurt you. I destroyed what we had. I do admit that I cheated on you behind your back and I do admit that I used you to keep Byakuya off my back. What I didn't count on was falling in love with you." Oichi kept her frown. "I just thought you were some random chick that like me for my looks but even when I did stupid things that no normal girlfriend would take you still loved me for what I was." Oichi closed her eyes.
Renji grabbed her shoulders. "I toyed with your feelings and because of the promise I made with Rukia and my feelings for her as well I found myself in quite a pickle. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to keep Rukia at my side forever but at the same time I wanted to stay with you to. When I did what I did my true feelings didn't start appearing until I saw you with Grimmjow. I felt pissed that he was touching you and that he had you and I didn't." His hands went down from her shoulders to her arms. "I didn't realize how much I truly loved you until you were in another man's arms. I hated that feelings and knowing this feeling hurts me every day. To know that you are feeling like this, seeing me with Rukia hurts Oichi…I…I don't know what to do anymore."
Oichi opens her eyes and pulls away from Renji. "I'm glad…" Renji looks at her. "I'm glad that you are finally understanding how I am feeling. You now know how it feels to watch a person you love being with someone else. To watch that person be happy with someone that isn't you." She places her hands together and takes a deep breath. "I forgive you Renji." Renji looked at her with shock and confusion. "Y-You do?" "The truth is. I forgave you a long time ago. You of all people should know that I can't really hold grudges like that…Even though you and Rukia betrayed my trust I forgive both of you but do not expect me to forget what happened. I do not trust anything you say nor will you earn my trust any time soon. So for the final time Renji. Please move on. You now have a child and Rukia will soon be your wife. Be happy with them. Love them and treasure them. Good bye Renji." She walked downstairs leaving Renji with a sad look on his face. He bit his lip and gripped his chest. He wish it didn't have to end this way. Why couldn't he have seen this coming." He sat down on the steps and placed his hands in his face. "I'm a damn idiot…"
Oichi quickly made her way back to her office. She wanted to throw herself into work as much as possible. It wasn't because she was sad though. She actually had a soft smile on her face. Her heart and mind felt clear. It is true in the back of her mind she had forgave Renji and Rukia for what they did but she never thought saying out loud to Renji would make her feel so good. There wasn't a weight holding down on her shoulders. Her thoughts of Renji and their past inch away from her mind. All she could think about now was her future with Grimmjow. Her smile grew wider. 'Grimmjow! I get to see him soon!' She giggled with pure happiness to where she had a little skip to her step. 'I hope he likes what I wear. I can't wait to see his face!'
Later that night, Oichi was packing a small bag. She had her outfits ready. She was wearing a batman t-shirt with short shorts on. She walked in the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet. She grabbed a gray bottle that had clear liquid in it. She frowned and rubbed her shoulder. While she was excited to see Grimmjow she remembered that she had asked him to come clean with everything he had done. While she knows he couldn't do that she decided that maybe it was time for her to come clean as well. She bit her lip slightly and gripped her shoulder. Maybe it was time to truly share her past with someone.
When she was done, she jumped on her bed and sighed. She pushed her thoughts away for a bit and giggled in her pillow. 'Grimmjow…I can't wait to see you.' Just then her laptop chimes out. She sits up to see a video chat icon was flashing. She got up and sat at her desk and clicked the button. Two screens popped up side by side. She smiled as her two sisters Florina and Izzy appeared on the screen.
Florina had dark skin with green and pink hair and pink eyes. Her hair was in a high ponytail and she was wearing a nightgown. Izzy had light brown skin with short light purple eyes and hair. She was wearing a tub top and was eating some chips.
"Hey you two!" Oichi says smiling. "Hi sis!" Florina says. "What's up Miko." Izzy says. "What are you two doing up so late?" Florina held up a plane ticket. "We just wanted to tell you that we are going to be coming down there soon. We got our plane tickets and we will be set to arrive in a week or so." Izzy held up hers to. "We already told daddy and he's supposed to be finding us a place to stay." Oichi leans back. "That's great! I miss you guys so much. How is the shop doing?" Izzy rubbed her head. "Well we closed it down." "Really?" "Yeah it wasn't doing to go in the sells, so we hope once we move there we can start over or something." Florina nodded. "Yes, Grandma is allowing us to bring some herbs like you asked along with some seeds from the islands. I'm going to open a flower shop." Oichi clapped her hands togethers. "So wonderful Flo! Your passions have always been flowers anyways. I can't wait to see how you do. What about you Izzy? Are you trying something new?" Izzy sighed. "I'm going back to school to become a photographer." Oichi smiled. "Wow! You've always had a skill for taking some amazing photos. I'm so proud of you both."
Both Izzy and Florina blushed a bit. "Sheesh, you always praise us for doing something so little." Izzy says hiding her blushing face. Oichi giggles. "As your big sister I will always praise you for your accomplishments. I will also be here for you when you think you have failed. It's an older sibling's duty to help and watch over their younger siblings." "Oh yeah? Then what about Mikey. He's never done much for us." Oichi looks down a bit. "Mikey is more like papa. He's out traveling the world doing who knows what. I just hope he is okay and eating and taking care of himself." The girls sighed at the same time.
"So, what's going on with you and your boyfriend? Is he handling himself as jail bait?" Izzy asked. "Grimmjow is doing just fine. I'm going to see him on the 14th." Izzy sighs. "I don't know Oichi. This guys seems a bit out of your guy code…I mean you hate flashy guys which is why I never understood your thing with that dirt bag Renji." She growls his name. Florina frowned. "I hope Grimmjow is nothing like Renji! That guy is the worst! Throwing you out your home that you mostly paid for AND for getting some other woman pregnant behind your back!" Florina frowned as her face got a bit red from being so angry. "Calm down you two. I told you already that Renji is in the past. I'm not thinking about him anymore. I have Grimmjow now and he would never do anything to hurt me like that." Florina huffed out. "He better not. I'll kill him." Izzy nodded in agree. "Me to! In fact, you don't deserve any men! We should kill anyone who even looks your way!" "Yeah!" Florina yelled, throwing her fist up in the air.
Oichi laughed. "You two are to much. There aren't that many bad men. There are good ones in the world." Izzy and Florina sighed. "Your so clueless when it comes to men sis…" Oichi rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Oh!" She got up and went to her dresser. She picked up the picture of Orihime's ultrasound. "Look! This is Orihime's and Ichigo's ultrasound for the baby!" Florina smiled and squealed. "Aw! Our Ichigo is growing up!" Izzy smirked. "So he finally got himself a girl. I'm proud of our strawberry head. He makes me feel like a mother hen watching her young grow up and leave the nest." Oichi chuckled. "He's five years older then you." "So what! That boy can be so clueless just like you. I was deeply afraid if you two ever got together. I wouldn't be able to stop worrying about you two!" Oichi rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, says the girl who's never had a boyfriend in her life." Izzy blushed. "That doesn't mean anything! Having a boyfriend is overrated! I have things to do in my life and a man will just burden me." Florina giggled. "You sound like mama."
Oichi shook her head and looked at the clock. It was hitting almost 10pm. "Well I'm going to head to bed. I want to get a good night sleep for work tomorrow but before I go..." She links her fingers together. "I think I want to tell Grimmjow about my back." Florina and Izzy gave her a stern look and then smiled. "If that's what you want to do then you should do it sis." Florina says. "Yeah but what if he looks at me like I'm…disgusting." Izzy leans back in her chair. "Your thinking to much about that Oichi. I told you that before. Just tell him and if he can't handle a small truth about you then he isn't the one for you. Just like when you tried to tell Renji and he got annoyed because you couldn't bring yourself to say it. That should have been the first clue that you guys weren't meant to be." Izzy says getting angry. "Calm down Izzy." Florina says. "Sis…just do what Grandma tells us to do. Follow your heart. If you want to share that part of the past with this guy and you feel like this is the right time to do it, then do it. Just know that no matter what we are here for you okay?" Oichi nodded. "Thanks, you two." Florina and Izzy nodded. "Alright, well we will see you soon then. Good night sis." Florina says. "Night Miko." Izzy says. They both turned off at the same time. Oichi got up and turned the lamp off. She got under her covers and got comfortable. However, before she could even close her eyes to drift off her phone started to ring. She wanted to just ignore it, but she sat up and grabbed it. It was her father calling. She answered. "Hello papa." "Hi there peanut. Were you sleep?" "No, if I was, I wouldn't answer the phone." Dante chuckled. "I found you a place. Though it won't be cheap. I understand that you are going to see Grimmjow this weekend? I would like you to see the place and tell me if you like it or not." "Alright papa. Thank you. I know I am asking a lot of you." "No, you're not actually. As you said before you do not ask much of me. This is the first time you have asked of me in your adult stages. I'm happy to help you whenever you call me." "I will keep that in mind Papa. Now what time should I be ready?" "Around 10am on Saturday. I also want to stop and get you a car. Don't worry about making any payments. I will take care of everything." Oichi couldn't help but to smile a bit. "Thank you, papa, I'm sorry if I never seem to ask for help. Mama always taught me to be so self-dependent that sometimes I can be a bit arrogant and try to handle everything own my own." Dante laughed a bit. "There is no reason for you to be sorry. Your mother taught you what she was taught. Not to depend on anyone especially a man. I hope by now that you are learning that it is okay to accept help when you need it." Oichi nodded. "Yes, I have. It's nice to know that my friends had my back and gave me a hand when I really need it. It's thanks to them that I can get back up on my feet over and over again." She yawned. "I'll let you sleep for now. Be ready and bring your things so that you don't have to make a back and forth trip." "Yes sir. Good night papa. Thank you for all of this." "It's no problem pumpkin. Good night." Oichi hangs up and lays the phone back down. She slides back under the covers and closes her eyes, letting the sleep overcover him.
Saturday at 9:45am. Oichi was standing outside waiting on her father. It was a little chilly outside, so she was wearing a low shoulder gray, white, and black patter sweater with black skinny jeans, knee high boots and a black jacket. Her duffle bag was by her feet and she had her new gray purse in her arms. She wiggled a bit in her clothes. Underneath it was something special for Grimmjow. Hisagi walked out with a cup of coffee and handed it to her. "Oichi are you sure you should be out this early? Your dad did say at 10." "Yeah I know but he always comes a bit early. He hates being late to anything." She sips on the coffee. "So he found you a place to stay?" Oichi nodded. "Yes, but I don't want anything super big like this place. A small house or condo would do really. Something for just me and Grimmjow at least." Hisagi put his hands in his pockets. "And a car?" "Yup, that's why I am up so early. Going to go pick out a car." "Your dad must have a lot of money." Oichi sighs. "Well he does own a few islands and if he wanted to, he could buy a lot of these places in the city or the city itself." Before Hisagi could say anything, the door opened and Momo and Kira looked out with a panic look. "Really? That much money? Wait you mean he is rich!? Wouldn't that make you rich!?"
Oichi rolled her eyes at them. "Technically yes, I can be considered rich along with my siblings, but I don't depend on my father's money. None of us do really. Our mother taught us how to be live without his funds, so we rarely ask anything from him. Other than when I was a child I never really asked much from him. Him finding me a house and buying me a car is…weird…but at this point I've learned that it's okay to ask for help sometimes." Hisagi smiled and pats her head. Momo pouted. "Your rich and you never told us!? I mean I'm happy that you don't rely on material things like most rich kids do but you could have been in a better situation then you are now." Oichi smiled at her. "I know, but I don't want to run to my dad every time something goes wrong in my life. I'm an adult and if I don't at least try to solve my own problems it won't look so well for me in the future." Momo sighed and Kira pats her head. Soon they saw a 2015 black Porsche Panamera pull up. There eyes widen as they see Dante get out. Oichi shook her head. "As you can see he has no issue flaunting his money every now and then to impress someone. I'll see you guys in few days." She hands her coffee cup to Hisagi and grabbed her bag.
Walking over to Dante she hugs him. "Morning papa." Dante rubs her back. "How are you feeling? Is your back giving you any trouble?" Oichi shook her head. "Are you ready to go?" Oichi nods and walks over to the other side of the car. She waves to the others before getting. Dante looked over the house and frowned a bit before getting back in the car and pulling off. "Seems like he doesn't like where she is staying." Kira says leaning on the door. Momo was on the phone with Rangiku and walked back inside. They could hear her making a racket over the phone.
Oichi leans back and sighs out. "I heard you got a job at the center." Oichi nodded. "Yes, I'm in the 9th division working in the clothing section. I've been learning a lot under Hisagi and the others. "Are you still trying to work on getting your own shop?" "Yes. I am." "Would you like my help in it as well?" Oichi crossed her arms. "…well in due time…like finding a location for it and everything. For now, I'd like you to focus on helping Flo and Izzy when they get here." "I see…then I will be happy to help all of my daughters any way I can." Oichi smiled at his words. Dante looked out of his rear mirror and his eyes narrowed a bit when he noticed a black car following them.
Dante soon drove up in a car dealership. He parked and he and Oichi got out. They went into the building and looked around until someone saw them. A young woman came over. "Hello there! Are you here to look at a few cars?" Oichi nodded. "Yes, ma'am we are." "Well why don't you follow me." She grabbed a clip board and led them outside. "So, tell me what type of car are you looking for today?" Oichi hums out. "Well something safe, I guess. Safe and comfortable? Nothing to fancy. Basic." The sells woman nodded. "Okay follow me and I will show you some that you may like."
For almost 30 to 40 minutes Oichi could not find a car that she liked. She was about to give up and just let Dante pick her out a car until she saw a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. She walked over to it with the saleswoman behind her. "Let's see…this is our 2012 Hyundai Elantra. Some do think it's a bit better than the Honda civic and Toyota corolla in some ways. The Elantra offers more value then most compacts and is well liked, pleasant to drive in, and has a very good safety record. It come with the standard manual transmission, air conditioning, sunroof, leather sheets and knobs, heated seats back and front, Bluetooth controls, touch screen, and other features. Would you like to take it for a test drive?"
"Do you like this car pumpkin?" Oichi nodded. "I do! I'd like to take it for spin though if we have time." Dante looked at his watch. "We have a little to spare." Oichi nodded as she and the sales woman get inside. Dante watched as Oichi drove out the lot. Dante took out a cigarette and turned around to head to his car. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw the same place car parked a few spots down from where he parked at. 'As I thought…' He says to himself.
Within 20 minutes or so Oichi came back with the sales woman. She got out smiling. "I love it!" "Great shall we get started on the paper work and the payments?" Dante nodded. "I will take care of that." They walked inside and talked a bit more. Dante did in fact ended up paying for it in whole at a lower price to Oichi's shock. She had to admit that she was impressed with his negotiation tactics. As they walked out Dante handed her the keys. "Your car is completely paid off with insurance to bet. That's one down and…" He looked at his watch. "We have plenty time to spare to go look at a house or two. Follow me." Oichi smiled. "Okay papa! Thank you for the car!" She giggled as she went to her new car. Dante smiled back watching her.
Driving down the streets, Dante led Oichi out of the city and more into the country side. Oichi has always loved staying in the country more then the city. It was a lot more peaceful and there was a lot more room to explore and what not. It was one of goals to have a nice house on the country side, but she would settle for an apartment in the city until that happened.
Dante turned down a road and Oichi followed him down few miles, pasting a few homes. He soon slowed down and parked into the driveway. Oichi parked beside him and got out. She gasped at the home in front of her. "Papa!? T-This house? It's huge!" Dante chuckled as another car pulled up. A man walked out with some papers. He walked up To Dante. "Mr. Yamamoto?" Dante nodded. "I see you are early. I'm Mr. Grains and I'll be showing you around the house today." Oichi walked up to Dante still a bit unsure about the house.
They walked up to the door. "This amazing house was originally built in 1930. It was designed after a house Located on in North Smithfield, Rhode Island. Since then it has been rebuilt and restored up to more of these modern times. Its Original hardwood floors have been newly restored. Two sets of staircases lead up to the second floor. Large wrap around porch and two sun porches. The property has a three-car garage and an in-ground pool. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 3,686 square feet." Oichi looked around. The cool air blew around her and a sense of peace flew into her. She smiled listening to the bird's chip and fly around. Maybe this wouldn't be to bad.
"Oichi come along." Dante says as they stepped in the house. Oichi quickly followed behind. "Ms. Yamamoto, your father here says you don't like big houses, but I assure you that once you get comfortable in it you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference. It's quite a good size to start a nice family as well." Oichi felt her cheeks heat up a bit after that statement. She pouted at Dante. "Papa! Don't be telling people about me!" "I had to. He must find the perfect house that fits you and your future family. I to also wish to get you a home a bit bigger. As your father I know your desires a bit more than anyone and I know this house will not last you as long as you think. With you and Grimmjow going at it like bunnies I'm sure your many children will fill this place up." Oichi's face turn red. "Dad please! Your embarrassing me!" Mr. Gains chuckled.
"This house has all of the charm and character of its original state along with the luxuries and amenities most desired today. This sprawling interior includes 3,686 square feet of living space, spread among 3 floors with 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and full third full floor of additional space to use to your liking." They followed him to the kitchen.
"First floor offers a brand-new modern kitchen with gorgeous new wood grain tile floor, new grey shaker cabinets topped with sparkling white granite counters with grey vein details, matching grey island topped with fresh new butcher block counter, open shelving, pellet stove to help with heating costs. Also, on first floor is a massive living room area open to a separate dining room with original built in hutch, a new half bath and cozy study. All rooms offer newly restored gleaming hardwoods and modern new or restored light fixtures throughout." They followed him to the staircase.
"There are two staircases ascend to the 2nd level with master bedroom with fireplace and 3 additional large bedrooms, sparkling new full bath with his and hers vanity sink and newly tiled tub & shower, and lastly a full size laundry room with washer and dryer. Finally, the rear staircase ascends to the third floor of additional space. On the exterior, the charm continues with a wraparound porch, 2 sun porches, and sprawling 2 acres of green grass, all extremely private. Lastly, there is a in-ground pool & 3 Car Garage."
Oichi rubbed her cheeks. All the information he was feeding her was a bit much. Dante pat her head. "Go look around dear while I talk to Mr. Grains." Oichi nodded and went upstairs to check it out.
At the prison, Grimmjow was working out in the training yard. He had to do something to distract himself from thinking about Oichi all day. He could barely contain himself. He was pumping iron when a man with black hair and blue eyes walked up to him. His hair resembles a pair of small horns, and he had a van-dyke beard and mustache. This man was Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio but he liked to be called Doni. He smirked as he stopped in front of Grimmjow. "Oi! Nino! It seems that you are working hard today yes?" Grimmjow rolled his eyes. Dordoni was a former, former employee of Aizen's he and a few others were sent here after they proved no use to Aizen. To be honest Grimmjow didn't really know him nor have even heard of him at all so he'd usually ignore him. Dordoni twirled around him doing dynamic poses. "Oi! Nino! Aren't you excited for your little Ninya to come visit!?" Grimmjow put his weights down. "Why the hell are you talking to me. Shouldn't you be dancing with your friends in the storage house." Dordoni chuckled. "Smooth jokes Nino…I only wished to give you some pointers to a brute like yourself. Considering your out here pumping Iron which you never do no?" Grimmjow sighs. "What the hell are you going on about?"
"You my little Nino have not felt the warmth of your lovers body for a few months no? Once you lay hands on your little cream puff you will instantly lose control of your emotions and go on a rampage causing you to…experience…pleasure first. I doubt you wish for her to see that side of you yes?" Grimmjow narrowed his eyes. He low key did admit to himself that he was a bit nervous about that. It was a bit embarrassing to lose face in bed. He rubbed his face. "You are wondering how I know? Well you have been in and out of this place Nino and not once have I've seen you so well behaved over one cream puff. You love her no? Then your desire to see her grows and before you know it…well you know where I am going yes?"
Grimmjow groans. "Fine would you shut the hell up already and tell me." Dordoni chuckles and sits down on a bench next to the weight. "Fear not my friend. I will tell you everything you need to know about the woman you love. Come and hear my words!" Grimmjow frowns and sits down but not super close to him. "Just shut up and tell me already. I'm on limited time here."
At Ichigo's apartment, Orihime was napping on the couch. Ichigo was sitting on the floor doing some applications to get a view of a house he was looking at for them to move into. With the baby on the way his apartment wouldn't be enough for them and since Orihime gave her place to Rangiku he didn't want to bother her. "I know Oichi said her old man was looking up houses for her. Maybe I should ask her for some help." He looked back at Orihime who was smiling in her sleep. He reached up and rubbed her stomach, making her mumble a bit. He chuckled and went back to applying. 'Maybe I should join the center to. Those extra jobs does help every now and then.'
In the center, at the 10th division section. Rangiku was throwing a fit in Toshiro's office. "That cunny little girl! How could she not tell her closest friends that she was rich! Does she realize how many issues that could be solved! We could buy a whole freaking mall and all the booze we wanted to drink!" Toshiro shook his head. He was trying to work but Rangiku had barged in interrupting him. "It shouldn't matter if she's rich or not. She obviously doesn't rely on her father's money or she wouldn't be in the situation she's in now." Rangiku pouted. "…but sir! That's not fair! Here I was spending Hisagi's money on her and she had plenty of money to have!" "If I were Oichi I wouldn't take the money either. That man…his money can be considered blood money. He has done very shady things but we can never tag his name to the work."
Rangiku sat down and sighed. "Money is Money sir. So much shopping we could get done. I'll give her an ear full the next time I see her!" Toshiro rolled his eyes and tried to focus on doing some paper work. "Instead of worrying about others you need to be doing your own damn work." He says tossing her folders. "They aren't going to get done themselves." Rangiku groans and then looks back at him. "Speaking of work…did those test result ever come back. On Oichi's attacker?" Toshiro sighed. "No, it wasn't in our systems. So, we can conclude that it might have just been some random person who saw Oichi as a target." Rangiku frowns. "What about the license plates Hisagi turned in? He said Oichi threw a fit when one of Aizen's goons touched her." "It came to a dead end…there isn't much we can do at this point. Oichi may not remember what happened to her but her body does. They way she reacted points that the man Ulquiorra must have something to do with her attacker but because he is with Aizen he is strongly protected. All we can do is hope they make a mistake."
It was 12:30pm, Oichi and Dante were now looking at her new house. They did go look at two more houses that were just down the road, but it was something about the first house that make Oichi feel so peaceful. She had considered Dante's words as well. She did want a lot of children and an apartment wouldn't be able to hold them. Now all she needed was her furniture and spice this place up then she can start calling this place home. "Papa, I don't know how to thank you for this." Dante was smoking. "It's nothing to be thanked for. I would do it again as many times as you would like. You and your sisters are important to me. I may not show it every now and then, but I truly love you all and I only wish for your happiness. Now you should be on your way. You don't want to keep your lover waiting."
Oichi nodded and then rubbed her chest. "Actually, before I go papa there is something, I wanted to tell you." "Is that right?" Oichi nodded and took a deep breath. "I want to tell Grimmjow about my back." Dante blew out smoke and burned his cigarette on the heel of his shoe. "Alright then." Oichi looks at him with awe. "T-That's it? You're not going to tell me no or give me reasons why I shouldn't do it?" Dante chuckles. "I've met the boy and I have to say that I am impressed with him. Unlike your last boy toy, he didn't back down from me so that tells me he is willing to go the extra mile for you. If you wish to share that detail with him then you are welcome to do so and if you don't like his response, I'll kill him."
Oichi smiled and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, papa. Thank you for that, the car, and the house." Dante rubs her head. "Later we can look for more furniture when your sisters get here." Oichi nodded let him go. She went to his car to grab her bags and then hopped in her car. She waved good bye to him and drove off to the prison.
Once she disappeared from his view, Dante walked down the path of the driveway and towards the road. He stopped before he walked right in the middle of it. As soon as he did a car had came speeding towards him. Reaching in his pocket he took out a small device that was circular and flung it in front of him. It landed a couple feet away. He watched as the car gain speed towards him. Dante stood right in the way unmoving. As soon as the car ran over the device, it beeped and attached itself to the car. The car quickly started to swerve left and right before it came to a complete stop right before it hit Dante.
Dante took out another cigarette and lit it. He took a long puff and blew out smoke. Placing his hands in his pockets he walked around the car and knocked on the window. He waited and waited. "If I must knock again, I will rip the door off. Roll the window down." He says in a flat tone. He got no response. Dante blew out smoke. "Have it your way then." He grabbed the door by the handle and with ease, pulled the door right off the car. The man inside was shocked and jumped at Dante tossing the door on the ground. His eyes by passed the man and went to the seat next to him. There he could see various pictures of Oichi from this morning. He narrowed his eyes and grabbed the man by the collar of his jacket. "You…have a lot of explaining to do and if I were you, I would talk quickly and answer every single question I have for you correctly or I will see fit that you will no longer speak a word again."
As 1pm drew closer, Grimmjow was being led towards the back of the prison. There the guards opened the door and led him outside where there were a few trailers far apart from each other. They each had a fence around them with guards surrounding them. The guards led Grimmjow down a path to the last trailer. Ikkaku was waiting with a smirk on his face. "Well then, I hope your ready." The guards uncuffed Grimmjow. "Follow me." Grimmjow rubbed his wrist and followed him towards the trailer. They opened the door and walked in to see Yumichika looking over the place. Inside was very simple almost boring from what Grimmjow was thinking. It had a bed in the back, a small bathroom, a cheap tv seat, and a small kitchen. "The fridge has a bit of food in there for you and Oichi, mostly Oichi though since she's the cutest little glutton I have ever saw." Grimmjow glared slightly at him but it only made him laugh.
"Well make yourself comfortable, Oichi will be led this way shortly. You have two days alone with her. The trailers may look dull, but they are sound proof with no cameras on the inside." He pointed up to a timer on the wall. "This is the timer. Once it reaches zero your time is up, and you go back to your cell until next time. Got it?" Ikkaku says. Grimmjow sat down on the couch in front of the tv. "Yeah I got." Yumichika and Ikkaku chuckled at him and then left. Grimmjow sighs out and waited impatiently for Oichi.
Minutes later, a guard was leading Oichi out to the trailers. She had a smile on her face as the guard explained to everything to her. There were to be no electronics there, so he had taken her phone and tablet which she didn't mind. Two days with Grimmjow were greatly worth it. Once she reached the trailer, she saw Ikkaku and Yumichika waiting for her. "Hi guys! Is Grimmjow in there?" Ikkaku nodded. Oichi giggled and was about to walk in there until the stopped her. "One second Oichi…first we just want to apologize." Oichi looked at them with a confused expression. "Apologize about what?" "Well…we promised that we were going to find your attacker but everything we had leaded to dead ends…" Oichi smiled and lightly punched them both in the shoulder. "It's okay no need to be sorry. The good thing is that I'm okay. Plus, I work at the center now and thanks to Hisagi I don't have to worry about being attacked again or anything like that. He has taken great care of me. So have Momo and Kira. I don't know how I can ever repay them for what they have done for me." She flashes a huge smile at them. "I owe you guys a lot to! You watch out for Grimmjow and keep him well behaved! It's thanks to you that I can finally spend time with him even if its only for two days heehee. So thank you!" She hugs them both making them blush. Ikkaku rubbed his head and cleared his throat. "No problem. We will be back in two days. Enjoy." Oichi let them go and walked to the door. She took a deep breath as she opened the door and walked in, closing it behind her.
As soon as she did, she was pulled into fiery kiss. Oichi moans as she wraps her arms around Grimmjow's neck. She felt him placed his arms around her hips and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist tightly and grids a bit on him causing a groan to ease out his lips. He walks them over to the back were the bed was and lays her down.
He breaks the kiss and sits up, hovering over her. "Oh babe. Your look so sexy right now." Oichi giggled with flustered face. "You say that now, but you don't even know what I have on under here. Don't you wanna see? I wore it just for you." Grimmjow smirked and let her up. Oichi headed into the bathroom. "Don't go nowhere." Grimmjow sat on the bed. "Like I want to go anywhere without you." He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down as he waited. 'Don't get to over excited. Don't get over excited.' He says to himself.
The door opened and Oichi walked out in a light blue sexy see through lace bra with a lace ruffled T-back set. She was blushing madly as she walked to a wide eye Grimmjow who's eyes were roaming every part of her body. "Fuck…" He mumbles out as his pants tighten. "S-So what do you think?" She says as she turns around for him. "Sexy enough for you?" "Damn…if I were lava right now, I think this whole prison would being melting." Oichi giggled. "So lame…" She walked over to him and sat on his lap. "I missed you Grimmjow." She kissed him gently and pulled back. "I missed you to. Don't worry, I'll be back to you before you know it." He flips her over and kisses her deeply. He starts to rub up against her. "Mmmm…Grimmjow…" Oichi felt his fingers trail down her body and down to her womanhood. She gaps in the kiss as she felt him push his finger inside her. She broke the kiss and turned her head. He kissed her cheeks and down to her neck. "You're not going to take my set off?" Grimmjow chuckled. "Hell no, I want to fuck you in this sexy outfit you got for me. Then maybe I'll consider stripping it off you later on." He pushed another finger inside of her making her moan out. "Oh…please hurry…" She says. Grimmjow licks his lips and he pushed a third one inside her. "You want me?" "Yes. I want you." "How bad? How bad you want me Oichi?" "D-Don't tease me. You know I want you just as bad as you want me." Grimmjow laughed and removed his fingers. He lifted them up so that she could see her wetness on his fingers. He then licked them clean making her face go redder. He spreads her legs and pulled down his pants to show his thick hard on. "You're not going to take your clothes off?" "Later…What's your deal with clothes. Just enjoy this alright." Grimmjow says as he positions himself. "Right now, I just want to be inside you." He says as lust grew in his eyes.
Over in Las Noches, in a private luxury condo, Ulquiorra was just arriving from work. He undid his tie and walked to the kitchen. Grabbing a light beer, he walked to the living room and sat down. There he sat and waited staring at the blank screen of the tv. There was a knock at the door and it opened. Ulquiorra's eyes shifted to the door as a person in a black overcoat jacket walked in with a suitcase. "Sir…my apologizes for being late. It has been quite a hassle getting close to her, but I have new information for you." He walks over to Ulquiorra and sits next to him. He opens the suitcase and hands him a black envelope. "It seems one of my men was caught. I am not fully sure what information he let slip but I assure you that I will take care of it." Ulquiorra took the envelope. "Caught by who." "The father…sir…" Ulquiorra looked at him but then turned back to the envelope. He opened it and pulled out a picture of Oichi at the car dealership. She was smiling as she looked at a car. His eyes widen just a bit and then when back to his normal flat expression. "I will send the money to your account and see that your man is 'taken care of' Do I make myself clear?" "What if he hasn't told anyone anything?" "I do not care. The fact that he got caught makes it clear that isn't good for this job. Now leave me." The man nodded and left.
Ulquiorra got up and headed to his room. In his room there was a nice king size bed with a dark green comforter. The walls were jet black. He had a few awards hanging up but the wall were mostly bare. There was a single desk with a laptop on it and a single bathroom. He walked to a closet door and opened it. He flipped on a light switch and the light relived photos of Oichi posted to his wall. There was a photo of her from months back with Ichigo. There were some in her cafe uniforms and even at the club she had went to with Grimmjow. Ulquiorra took out the picture he had gotten today and placed it in the middle. He looked up at a picture above it and rubbed it with his middle and index finger. This picture looked much older then the others. It was a picture of Oichi when she was in high school. She had very short hair and she was smiling as she read a book. Ulquiorra eyes kept locked on this picture as he felt something stirring deep inside him. "I find it hard to believe that you could have ever lower yourself to be with a dog like Grimmjow…your nothing but a dog who wags her tail for the next man…" He rubs his fingers around the photo. "…and yet…I can't stop myself from wanting you. Making you mine. I need to find out why you are so attached to such trash. What can I do to make you loyal to me as you are to Grimmjow?"
As the day went on into the evening time, Oichi and Grimmjow had yet to leave each other's arms. Grimmjow was holding on to her hips as she bounced on top of him. Their naked bodies were sweaty, and they were panting heavy, lost in their pleasure. Grimmjow's eyes slowly looked up at Oichi's body. His right hand rubbed up her side and up to grab his breast. Oichi moans out as she tosses her head back. She was getting close. She had already lost count in how many times she climax. Grimmjow sat up and held her hips down on him. They both groan out as they started to grind on each other. "G-Grimmjow…" Oichi moans out. She was pushed down on her back with him towering over her once more. He started his wild thrusts that she loved so much. She reached and wrapped her arms around his neck, bring him down for a kiss. She could feel him throbbing as he pushed harder and deeper inside her. They both moan as their climax soon reach the top and exploded. Grimmjow thrusts a few more times before finally going limp on top of Oichi.
He pushed his head in the crook of her neck. Oichi smiled as she ran her fingers through his hair. "Your hair got longer." She says. Grimmjow sighs out and then sits up. He pulls out of her making them both groans. He then grabs her arm and pulls her up. "Grimmjow?" He cups her face and rubs down to her neck. His eyes narrowed until Oichi placed her hand on his. "I'm okay Grimmjow." His hand went back up to her cheek. "Are you really? On the outside you might look all happy and cute, but I know you. On the inside your scared, aren't you? Still nervous about that night wondering if it will happen again." Oichi smiled. "Yes…I am scared but the thought of you protecting me, wrapping me in your arms, and telling me everything is going to be fine, makes me feel so much better."
Grimmjow frowned. "That doesn't make me feel better. How can I do that when I'm in here." Oichi placed her hands on his chest and pushed him down on the bed. She lays down next to him, placing her head on his chest. "I love you." Grimmjow wrapped his arm around her. She giggled. "What's so funny?" "I can hear your heart beating faster." She snuggles up closer to him. "Its true though. I do love you. My heart swells up with so many emotions that it gets hard for me to think sometimes." Grimmjow chuckles. "Well you are kind of a airhead so that much doesn't surprise me." Oichi pouted. "Don't be so rude after I just created a lovely movement." Grimmjow kisses her forehead. "Rude is in my charming personality. If you love me then you should be even more in love with my rudeness, right?" "I guess so…" Oichi puffed her cheeks out more. Grimmjow smiles and turns over on his side so that he is facing right in front of her. "Your so cute. Give me like 10 more minutes and I'll pound you into the bed all over again." Oichi giggles and cuddles up to him.
The next day, Grimmjow woke up to an empty bed. He frowned and sat up. He had bite marks on his shoulder and scratches on his back. 'Dammit it all, she knows I hate waking up like that.' Suddenly something caught his nose. He got up and walked towards the section of the kitchen and stopped to see the table in the middle of the trailer, was full of food. Some of the food he didn't even recognized but they looked and smelled amazing. He heard Oichi humming and walked towards her. She had a pair of blue paw print panties on and a blue t-shirt.
Grimmjow walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her making her jump in his arms. He chuckled. "Grimmjow! You know I hate that!" Grimmjow turned her around. "Well you know I hate waking up without your sexy ass in the bed! How the hell am I supposed to take advantage of you when you're not there!" "And THAT is the reason why I try to make it out of bed before you. If you had your way, we would never leave a bed room!" Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "I got one more day to fuck you till you go crazy I think your reasons should be overshadowed by that alone." Oichi sighed out. "You got all day to that. Right now, don't you want to eat? I made you a lot of food!" Grimmjow looked back at the table and his stomach growled. Oichi smiled. "See your tummy wants to eat." She looks down and blushed a bit. "Put on some underwear!" Grimmjow ignore her and went to the table. "Why should I when we are going back in the bed after I eat. Bring me some juice." Oichi huffed out but brought him juice.
Once she got to the table Grimmjow pulled her down onto his lap. "Feed me." He says smirking. Oichi chuckles. "You want me to baby you all day huh." "Pretty much." Oichi ran her fingers through his hair making him sigh out. "That feels nice?" "Yeah, I can see why Grayson loves it so much. Now feed me and tell me what's going on out there."
She picked up a fork and some food and drove it to Grimmjow mouth making him chuckle. "Well, I know its not a topic to start out but Rukia had her baby. She named her Ichika." Grimmjow rolled his eyes and then looked up at Oichi to see her usually sadness in her eyes but this time there wasn't. She held up a fork and smiled. "Say ah." Grimmjow got caught of guard and blushed when she said that. Oichi giggled. "She is quite cute you know and Rukia still wants me to be the Godmother. I'd rather not though. It's nothing against Ichika, I can't blame her for being born. I just don't hold any trust or love lost with those who stabbed me in the back…I forgave both of them, but I don't want to be a part of their lives…am I bad person for that?"
Grimmjow took the fork from her and started feeding himself. He swallowed a big proportion and licked his lips. "No. If I were you, I wouldn't have even forgiven those bastards. They want you to stay out of their lives and move on and yet they keep trying to bring you back in. That is like a slap in the face to me." Oichi leans on him as he ate. "Yeah…but I think Ichika became attached to me anyways." "How so?" "Well when I was working Rukia held her up to me and I saw sparkle or tingle in Ichika eyes. I just kinda brushed it off. When Rukia took her away she started to scream her lungs out and I mean scream. It's like when Grayson threw that tantrum when you wouldn't pick him up." Grimmjow shiver. "I thought I would have to cut my ears off." "Yeah…Rukia and Renji couldn't figure out what was wrong with her and I couldn't work so I asked if I could see her. I rocked her and hummed a song and she calmed down. When she opened her eyes, she smiled at me and give me this look like she won."
Grimmjow laughed. "Slick kid." "Yeah, so I can't help but to wonder how that will turn out. Oh, speaking of babies. Orihime and Ichigo are having a baby!" "Really!? The strawberry head is gonna pop one out? Hot damn! I didn't know he had it in him." "Orihime is two months now. She doesn't really care for the gender so long as it comes out healthy." Grimmjow drinks so of his juice down. "So, I guess I can mark Ichigo off my list." "What list?" "A list of guys that I was going to kill." "Huh!? For what!?" "Any guy that looks at you or desire you should die. You're my woman and that's how its going to stay. If anyone, including your scum of a father, got a problem with that, then they can go to hell and I'll be the one to send them." "Even papa? Sheesh…that sounds kind of…sexy really hee-hee." Grimmjow chuckled. "I told you that I'm a sexy fucker. So, anyone else popping out kids?" "No not that I have heard so far." "Then that means your up next." Oichi blushed. "G-Grimmjow don't say that." "I'm just saying. Eventually your gonna get a bun in your stomach by me." Oichi rubbed her burning cheeks.
"Anyways…Oh! I got a car and I found a wonderful house for us! Though it is pretty big for just two people." Grimmjow leans back. "A car and a house huh. Your old man got it for you?" Oichi nodded. "Yes, He brought me both the car and the house and when my sisters get here, we are going to go shop for more furniture." "Your sisters are coming this way?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah, seems like the shop went under and they want to start over. Flo wants to have a flower shop and Izzy is going back to school. I can't wait to see what they do in the future." Grimmjow burps loudly and pats his stomach. "Ugh…your such an animal." Oichi says. "You love it though. Are you going to eat? You know I can't eat all of this right." "I know. I just wanted to let you eat something other then what they are giving you."
She sat down and grabbed a plate full of a dish. "When you have eaten your food, your little pup will happily finish of everything else." Grimmjow chuckled. "Little pup?" "Yes! I don't want to be called kitten. I don't really like cats like you do." Grimmjow rubs her head. "So, you're my little pup now. I can deal with that." Oichi giggled and wasted little time to finish off the food. They soon heard a knock at the door. Grimmjow frowned. "What the hell…" He got up to go answer the door. Oichi eyes widen as she gulped down her food. "W-Wait a minute! You don't have any clothes on!" "Like I give a fuck." Grimmjow says. Oichi slides out her seat and runs after him. "Noo! What if it's a woman officer!" "So!? What does it matter if it's a male or female!?" Oichi stands in front of him. "You're my man! I don't want anyone else seeing you naked but ME!" She yelled with a flustered face. Grimmjow looked down at her and busted out into laughter. "Fine, fine. You win but, I'm going back to the table in case I gotta kick somebodies' ass." He turned off and went back to the table. Oichi couldn't help but to watch his butt as he walked off. The knock at the door snapped her out of her gaze.
She opened the door just a bit to see Yumichika standing there. "Oh. Yumichika." She opened the door wider. Yumichika smiled and hummed out. "I knew it. You cooked didn't you." Oichi smiled. "I did. Thank you for putting so much food in the kitchen." Yumichika chuckled. "Your welcome, if anyone knows your gluttony its us." "So, did you need something?" "We were doing a routine check and I know you would rather have me instead of Ikkaku barge up in here." Oichi nodded. "That is true. He can be very rude sometimes. Hmm…since you went through all the trouble, why don't I pack you up some of the food I made! I made extras in case Grimmjow was hungry, but it seems like I cooked to much." Yumichika smiled. "That would be wonderful! Can you make some for Ikkaku to?" He held up two boxes. Oichi giggled. "If you wanted some food you should have just asked. Give me a moment okay?" She grabbed the boxes and closes the door behind her.
She walks over to the fridge and takes out rice balls and placed them in one, cut up slices of grilled chicken and pickled veggies. In the other one she put in stir-fry tofu in sweet Asian sauce with some fruit on the side. Grimmjow was watching her with a little annoyance in his eyes. "You cooked for those assholes?" Oichi shrugs. "I didn't mean to, but I figured that they may come around since there was so much food in here." She closes the boxes and grabs two bottles of water. She opened the door to see Ikkaku standing next to Yumichika this time. He looked at Oichi and blushed seeing what she was wearing. He turned his head and cleared his throat. Oichi handed the boxes to them. "Enjoy guys!" Yumichika smiled. "Thanks, Oichi!" Oichi waved at them and closed the door.
She walked back over to Grimmjow who was brooding. "If you don't want other women seeing me naked then I don't want any other men eating your food." "I'm afraid that is impossible. I do cook for everyone when we get together. As much as I would love for you to own every single part of me you have to learn to share hun." She kissed his cheek. Grimmjow went back to brooding. Oichi smirks and slips into his lap. "Don't be like that. She turns her body forward and presses her body against his. She grinds her lower hips on him, quickly feeling him get hard. "If you keep brooding you won't have time to ravish me." Lust grew in her eyes making him smirk. "You're such a vixen."
Outside the trailer Ikkaku and Yumichika were walking outside the fence. They took a seat at the bench and opened their box. The smell hit their noses making them hum out. "Ah, Bento boxes from Oichi. How lucky are we!" Yumichika says taking some chopsticks out. He handed a pair to Ikkaku who was silent. His face was a bit red. Yumichika chuckled. "What's wrong Ikkaku. It's not like you haven't seen a woman in her panties before. You did say Mizuho use to walk around like that all day when she came home from work." "Yeah…looks let's not talk about it. I don't want her to even think that I saw someone else's underwear." Ikkaku says gulping. Yumichika laughed as he took a bite of his food. "Mm Oichi's cooking is getting better. I hope you have a good explanation for when Mizuho brings your lunch." Ikkaku nearly choked on his rice ball. "Shit! I completely forgot!" He quickly closed the lunch box. "Dammit! What am I going to do! Mizuho is going to kill me when she finds out I ate another woman's food!" Yumichika couldn't help but to be amused by his friends' reactions.
A little over two years ago Ikkaku had gotten married, almost forcibly, to Mizuho Asano, the older sister of Keigo. Many didn't know since it was a small and private wedding and Ikkaku never wore his wedding ring to work because the first person to insult his wife would die a most painful and brutal death. Ikkaku has usually been a private person so he never really told anyone about his settle life unless they were close friends to him such as Yumichika. Then there were those who ended up finding out and blackmailing him such as Rangiku. Ikkaku and Mizuho also had a two-year-old daughter that the named Emma. She was quite an active toddler.
An idea popped into Yumichika's head. "Give the lunch to Emma." Ikkaku looked at him. "Say it was a gift from a co-worker." Ikkaku rubbed his head. "You think that would work?" Yumichika shrugs. "If it doesn't you can always say your admirer gave it to you." Ikkaku shook him a glare. "Are you trying to get me killed!?" Yumichika laughed. "It's to bad. This food is great. Maybe Mizuho should take lessons from Oichi." Ikkaku let out a dry laugh. "Like that will ever happened." "It might happen if you just tell her that her cooking is kinda dry." Yumichika says chuckling. "Well until you decided which gender you want to go for I'll explain to you why that is a bad thing to say to any woman." Ikkaku says. He looks down at his box with regret in his eyes. "Dammit it all…on all the days to come she'd come today."
An officer ran up to them. "Sir! Your wife and daughter are here!" He yelled out. "Alright I'm coming, stay here and hold the spots. "Yes sir!" The officer says. Yumichika chuckled and got up. He was coming to help back up Ikkaku's lie, but he doubts that would help since Mizuho likes to listen to herself and only herself.
They walked back into the building and turned the corner to where the visitor side was. They walked down a long hallway that led to the employee's break room. Sometimes family members or spouse were allowed back her to drop of things. Ikkaku sighed as he opened the door. He took a step in and felt something hug his leg. He looked down to see a cute little girl with short brown and black hair and large brown eyes. She was wearing a cute dress that was black up top and red, black, and white plaid colors on the bottom. She smiled up at him. "Daddy!" Ikkaku smiled as he bends down and picks her up. "Hello there Emma." Emma giggles and hug his face. She then saw Yumichika. Her eyes sparkled. "Uncle! Down daddy! Down Now!" Ikkaku sighs and put her down. Emma ran up to Yumichika and squealed as she held his leg. "It's nice to see you to my little sugar plum." Yumichika says laughing.
"Darling!" They looked up to see a young woman with brown eyes and long brown hair that was tied in a ponytail with a red hairpiece and two long bangs on both sides on her face. She was wearing a long sleeve white blouse with a yellow fitted skirt, high heels, and had a purse to match. In her hands she had a light brown bento box. "My love I have brought your meal before I go to work!" She says smiling before she looked down at his hand to see another box. Her smile dropped, and she gave Ikkaku a dark look that make him jump out of his skin. "Darling…" She said with an almost venomous tone. "What do you have in your hands?" Her grip on the box tighten and started to crack it. "W-Wait a minute Mizuho before you do anything hastily this is not for me! I swear it!" "Oh? Then who is it for? Which one of those low down dirty, husband stealing hussy gave that to you!" She yelled. Emma whimpered and hid behind Yumichika's leg. "Mama scary…"
"This box isn't even for me! I-Its for Emma!" Mizuho frowned. "One of those hussy's made food for my daughter AND you took it!? What if it's poisoned or rotten!" Ikkaku frowned. "There is nothing wrong with the food idiot. You really think I would take something from a random person to give to our daughter!? This food is from a good friend of mine and she's been going through a harsh time right now. She likes cooking and she made a little too much, so she gave me some for Emma since all I want to eat…is y-your wonderful cooking." Mizuho let the words process through her mind and she smiled. "Oh, my darling! I guess when you put it that way, I can overlook this…but I want to taste the food just in case. I know this person is your friend, but I still don't trust it." Ikkaku nodded and opened the box. Mizuho noticed the half-eaten rice bun and took it. "Well it seems like she can make a basic meal for a toddler. I'll give her that." She bit into the rice ball and smiled. "Not half bad! Emma dear come here." Emma came around from Yumichika's leg and ran up to her mother. Mizuho leans down and handed her the rice ball. Emma smiled. "Rice ball!" She grabbed it and bit into it. "Mmmm!" She quickly gobbled the rice ball down. Mizuho and Ikkaku chuckled at her. "More mama More!" Emma says holding her hands out. Mizuho sighs. "Well I guess since Emma likes the food, I will let this pass. I would like to meet this friend of yours though. What is her name and where does she work?" Ikkaku gulps. "Why do you need to know all the info for? I already told you that she didn't make it for me." Mizuho crossed her arms. "It doesn't matter! If she wants to make my daughter food then I wish to meet her! Is that so wrong!?" "She's going through a bad time right now Mizuho. I don't want you to bother her with your weird accusations." Mizuho gave him a look that told him to shut up. "The more you deny this the more I get weird accusations."
Yumichika sighed he was starting to get a headache from hearing them go back and forth. "Her name is Oichi Yamamoto." Ikkaku and Mizuho looked back at him. Mizuho raised her eyebrow. "Oichi…Yamamoto? You mean the girl with red eyes? The one who was friends with my idiot brother? I thought she moved away or something after that whole café thing blow up in her face." Yumichika frowned but reframed himself from saying anything. "It didn't blow up in her face nor was it her fault that she was used. Anyways…Oichi currently works at the center in the 9th division. All you must do is ask for her and speak with her yourself. I don't wish to tell you to much of someone else's life." "It's never stopped you before…" Ikkaku says mumbling. He felt something grab his pants legs. He looked down to see a teary eye Emma. "A Rice ball daddy!" Ikkaku sighs and hands the box to Mizuho. In return she gave him the crack box. "Come on darling you can finish your yummy food in the car." Emma smiled. "Yay!" "Say good bye to your dad." "Bye Bye daddy!" Ikkaku bends down and rubs her head. "Thanks Emma. See you at home." He stood up and frowned looked at Mizuho. She chuckled and walked up to him, kissing his cheeks. "See you at home darling." Emma skipped to Yumichika and hugged his leg. "Bye Bye!" "Good bye my sugar plum." Emma giggled and skipped out the room with Mizuho following behind her.
Once they left Ikkaku sighs out. "Why is she so damn scary!" Yumichika chuckled. "You're the one who feel in love with her." He handed him his bento box. Ikkaku grabbed it and sat down at the table. "I swear that woman is crazy sometimes…I only hope that she doesn't accuse Oichi of anything…" Yumichika sat in front of him as he ate. He took his phone out. "Well I better send texts to Oichi so that she will know what's going on." Ikkaku sighs out. "I hope she doesn't blow a cow to…"
On Monday morning, Oichi was still sleeping in bed. Grimmjow rubbed her head as he watched her sleep. He had made love to her all night as many times possible before their time was up. He now had to wait a whole month just to do this over again…unless Dante came through for him. He sighed mentally. He didn't tell Oichi of the deal he had with Dante and even though he knew Ikkaku said there weren't no cameras in here, but he still didn't trust it. There was no way in hell he was spilling anything until he got out of here for sure. Oichi started to stir a bit in her sleep. Grimmjow turned to look at the clock. They had about 4 more hours together. He didn't mind watching her sleep like this for the remaining of that time. He rubbed her hair. "The other day you told me that you love me. Well my sexy pup, I love you as well and as soon as I get out of here, I will show you just how much. You've stuck by me during this and your holding your own without me. I feel like a failure as your man, but I'll change all that. I promise you."
"I know…" Oichi mumbles as she opens one of her eyes. Grimmjow jumped a bit and sighed. "Dammit…" Oichi giggled. "I couldn't help it. How come when I'm sleeping you tell me your true feelings. Do you think I will laugh at them?" Grimmjow rubbed his head. "No, it's just…weird okay. I don't often speak about stuff like that. Coming clean and all that stuff." Oichi hums out. "I see…well we can work on that when you get home." She sits up and sighs. "You know Grimmjow…you promised me that once you were out of here you would come clean to me about your life. Like everything." Grimmjow frowned and sat up. "Yeah, but I would rather not bring them up around here." "Yeah I know…well…I want to do the same. Come clean about my past." Grimmjow raised his eyebrow.
Oichi gulps and takes a deep breath. "Um…it's something only my family knows and…its hard to explain without going into much detail." She climbs over him and grabs her bag. Digging in it, she pulls out a gray bottle with the clear liquid in it. She stares it a bit. "What is that?" Grimmjow asked sitting up. Oichi got up and grabbed his hand. "You will see in a second." She pulled him to the bathroom and she stood in front of the mirror. Holding the bottle with two hands she felt her heart racing in fear. 'Maybe this isn't the time to do this.' She thought to herself.
Grimmjow was watching her expression through the mirror. He scratched his head before walking up close behind her and hugging her. He placed his chin on her head. "Look, you don't have force yourself to tell me anything. I get it. You have secrets just like everyone else and you will tell me when you are good and ready." Oichi felt her heart skip a beat a little. "E-Even if it makes you second guess your relationship with me?" "It would have to be a very huge secret for me to even consider that…like mega life, do or die, type of changing." Oichi looks down at the bottle and closed her eyes. "I see…well…I want to do this. You promised me that you were going to come clean about everything and you said that you didn't want us to keep any secrets from each other. I believe from the bottom of my heart that I can finally share this with someone outside the family. C-Can you let me go?"
Grimmjow nodded and backs up. Oichi opened the bottle and a sweet honey scent pours out. She holds up the bottle and slightly pours the liquid on her shoulders and behind her neck. The liquid spreads out on her shoulder and down her back. Grimmjow watched the liquid as it drips down her skin until something weird happened. The liquid looked like it was slowing down and sinking into her skin. "Oichi? What's happening with your back." Oichi put her head back. "My dad you know, he likes to invent things. He has a lot of crazy inventions and this was one of them. What you see on my back is not my actual skin." "Say what?" Grimmjow says, still looking at her back. He watched as her back started to get lighter like her entire back was peeling at the same time. "What you see is a cover skin. It like fake skin and it hides a secret that I have kept since I was young." She pinched the cover skin by the edge and started to pull. Thanks to the liquid it came off easy.
Grimmjow eyes widen as Oichi slowly peeled off her cover. There on her back he saw her scars. Three long deep scars that ran across her body. Oichi rolled up the cover skin and sat it on the sink. She placed her hands on the counter. "…I've never shown these scars to anyone in fear of being called a disgusting freak…I'm sure if any man saw this he wouldn't want a damage body like mines right?" When Oichi didn't hear Grimmjow response to hear she teared up a bit. She bit her lip and was ready to turn around and just leave when she felt his hand touch her back. Her body tensed up from this. Other then her father no one has ever touched her scars. She heard a light chuckle.
"This is what you were scared to show me? A few scars? It's not something I would consider a secret though unless it retains to how you got the scars." His fingers carefully trace down her back. Oichi's body shivered at this feeling making him chuckle. "Since no one has ever touched your actual back it must be very sensitive to foreign touches, like this." He leans down and kisses the middle scar. Oichi jumps at this. "D-Don't do that." Grimmjow grabs her by her arm and spins her around until she was standing facing him. He then planted a kiss on her lips. He pulled back and bumped foreheads with her. "You are an idiot. You think I care that you have scars on your body. It won't change how I feel for you and if your trying to chase me away then it wont work. I don't need to hear your backstory on what happened. You don't have to force yourself to think that you must be perfect for me. You are mine forever and I don't plan on letting you go. No number of scars on this sexy body is going to stop me from thinking that." He picked her up and sat her on the sink. He kisses her neck. Oichi's heart was doing flips as tears ran down her cheeks. "You don't find me disgusting?" Grimmjow leans up. "Don't be stupid. There is nothing wrong with you. Besides the only one who will be looking at you is me so focus on that." Oichi wrapped her arms around his neck and slammed a kiss on him, surprising him. She wrapped her legs around his waist. When they broke the kiss apart, Oichi leans to his ear. "Please…make love to me…" Grimmjow smirks and lifts her off the sink. "Of course, babe. I plan to from the start."
A taxi pulled up in front Renji's house. A beautiful young woman with fair skin and burgundy red hair that was braided down to her side and reached to her belly button, got out. Her green eyes looked up and down at the house. She was wearing a black t-shirt with said 'Village Witch' with a black jean jacket over it. Black skinny jeans, converse shoes, green open finger gloves, and an emerald green necklace around her neck. She grabbed her duffle bad out the back seat and walked up to the house. She frowned as she looked at her phone. She went to her contacts and scrolled down to Oichi's name. She hit it and her phone automatedly dialed Oichi's number, however the tone was dead just like it had been for months. The girl huffed out in a bit of annoyance. "She better have a pretty good reason of why I haven't heard from her in months."
She walked up the door and rings the door bell and waited. She tapped her foot a bit impatiently. She sighs and knocks on the door this time. There was no answer. "I swear… that girl better not be sleeping…" She looked around and walked over to the bushes. She bends down and places her hands under the bush and pulls out a small box. She opened it and took out a small key. "Well, I rung the door bell, I knocked, so now I'll just let myself in." She walked back up to the door and was about to unlock the door when she heard someone walking towards it. "About time." She placed her hands on her hips, ready to give Oichi a lecture. The door open and Renji appeared. His eyes widen when he saw the girl. "Jess?"
Jess smiled. "Hi Renji! Long time no see huh? Sorry for popping in randomly but I've been trying to call Oichi for the last few months and she's not answering. May I come in?" Renji rubbed his head. "Uh well…no…" Jess narrowed her eyes. "Excuse me?" "I mean, Oichi is very tired right now Jess. She's been working hours left and right and today is her day off." Jess looked at Renji. She could tell he was lying. She placed her finger on his chest. "Renji, get out of my way please. I won't ask nicely again." Renji shivered at the look in her eyes. He backed up and let her in.
Jess walked in the house and looked around. She frowned. There was nothing in here that belong to Oichi. "What the hell is going on Renji?" Renji gulped. "W-Well you see…" He sighs. "The truth is…" "Renji is someone at the door?" Jess and Renji look up at the stairs to see Rukia walking down with a sleeping Ichika. Rukia gasps when she see's Jess. "Jess? I didn't know you were coming back." Jess eyes went to Rukia and the baby in her arms. Her eyes went down to her finger where she spots a familiar ring. A ring that she has seen many times through pictures and emails. A ring that was supposed to be on Oichi's finger. Her head slowly turned to Renji who jumped. "Renji…may I have a word with you? Outside?" Renji nodded and followed her outside. He closed the door behind him. Rukia sunk down on the steps. "Oh no...please don't kill him. Please don't kill him." She says.
Outside in the backyard, Jess was glaring at Renji deadly. "You better start talking now…" Renji shook a bit. "Me…Me and Oichi are no longer together. We haven't been together for a while now." Jess closed her eyes. "I see…what happened and where is Oichi? I can't get in contact with her." Renji looked at her and cursed mentally. 'I can't tell her what happen…I'll get beat to a pulp.' "I…It…S-She cheated on me." Jess eyes widen a bit. "She did what?" Renji avoided looking at her. "Y-Yeah…She cheated on me Jess and we had a bad argument and we broke up." Jess gripped her fist. She knew everything coming out his mouth was a lie. It wasn't hard to tell. "I'm going to ask you one more time Renji and it better be the truth. What happened." Renji backed up a bit. "I told you. Your friend went batshit crazy. She cheated on me and when I caught her, she tried to shift the blame on me! She even tried to attack Rukia when she was pregnant! I don't know where she is nor do I want anything to…" Before Renji could even say another word. He was welcome with a hard-clean fist to the face.
