I do not own Bleach.
By the way, Yoshi and Yoshino are the two girls in the bount arc, not talking about super Mario or something. Yeah I know everyone hated that filler to the point no one even wrote about them at all lol. I guess I'll be the first then.
BDSM in this chapter, just a heads up. And no, it isn't rape...
Right?
Another long chapter, sorry guys :(
But I suggest you read through for those interested in the plot.
"Ichigo, we need to talk." Said an angry Tatsuki.
"What is it now Tatsuki!? Don't tell me you were waiting for me here all morning." Ichigo replied.
"Tell me Ichigo. Are you proud of yourself?" She said softly. Ichigo raised his brow in confusion.
"Proud of myself? What are you talking abou..."
"Don't play dumb with me! You know exactly what I'm talking about!" She yelled.
Ichigo sighed. "Is this about last night?" He asked and Tatsuki nodded her head. "Oh come on, all we did was fuck! No need to get your panties in a twist." He said in exasperation. "My only regret is that we didn't do it much sooner. One of the best lays I've had in a long time." He said smirking.
"How dare you speak like that after you defiled Orihime! You had no business getting your little nose involved in her life but nooo you just couldn't keep it in your pants could you!" She exclaimed in frustration. Ichigo wasn't the least bit fazed by her outburst.
"If you had a problem with it, then why didn't you cut the call hm?" He questioned. Tatsuki's eyes widened in horror. Ichigo chuckled as he grinned smugly. "Could it be that you enjoyed hearing little Hime, your friend, squirm and moan my name? My my Tatsuki I never knew you could be that naughty. I just hope you were able to resist... temptation."
"What! He-he knows! But how!? There's just no way. He's probably messing with me."
"You're wondering how I know right?" He said. "Simple, during my little 'workout' I saw the call screen on princess's phone on the floor with your name on it. And I could have sworn I heard muffled screams and panting, I have very wise ears after all." He explained with the smug look on his face. Tatsuki blushed furiously.
"That-that doesn't matter right now!" She shouted while letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "So what? I'm not the first and definitely not the last to do it! While you were gone, Orihime was engaged in a fight with that bitch Yoshi!" She exclaimed.
Ichigo's brows furrowed. "Princess? A fight in MY building! What the hell happened did someone get hurt?"
"No, other than that Yoshi received major slaps on her face." She said.
Ichigo's scowl softened.
"So princess slapped her? I don't see what's wrong with that as long as she wasn't the provoker. She stood up for herself for once instead of being a big baby. Heh, I'm proud honestly." He said with a small smile. "Besides, I'll deal with that bitch Yoshi later."
"Are you fucking serious right now!? Orihime has never ever fought before! She hates violence! But what I saw from her today was... a monster. She even swore for goodness sake!" She exclaims. "And it's all your fault Ichigo!"
Ichigo rubs his forehead in annoyance. "I don't have time for this right now okay? I have a lot of shit I need to take care of and so do you." He said as he slowly began walking away. Tatsuki rushed over to him and roughly grabbed his shoulder.
"Come back here you coward!" She yelled. "I have one request for you. Stay the hell away from Orihime!"
Ichigo's scowl returned. "I think we're forgetting something here. I'm your boss, your employer. Right now you should be at work as we agreed on your contract, and you aren't. I have a right to punish your disobedience or worse..." He said firmly. Tatsuki didn't seem to back down.
"Don't pull that whole 'I'm your boss' crap on me! I'll say it again, stay away from..."
"Oh, is that the sound of someone who wants to be fired?" He interrupted. Tatsuki hesitated. She wanted to say something but she knew she would be stepping on boundaries. All she could do was grunt in anger. "That's what I thought." He eyed her for a moment before continuing "You're just mad that I don't want none..." He stated before leaving.
At first Tatsuki was puzzled by his statement, then it clicked. He was referring to her body. Tatsuki frowned harder while clenching her fists. "This isn't over Ichigo! Not by a long shot!"
Getsuga Corp, Ikumi's office.
A middle aged woman by the name of Ikumi Unagiya bent down while sorting the numerous piles of boxes on the floor, most of them containing electric gadgets. She would put them in her van, as she is in charge of the transportation system of the company.
She's beautiful, with her long black hair tied to a ponytail. She wore a brown cape with goggles on top, a white long sleeved top with purple sleeves, her bust straining against it, black gloves on her hands and black jeans which hugged her mature things and legs.
Ichigo couldn't help but stare at her ass while she bent down, admiring the view. "Sheesh, talk about an ass." She jumped in fright when she hears
the door shut and saw Ichigo standing near the doorway.
"Crap Ichigo! You scared the hell out of me!" She said while they laughed a little. "Now quit staring and tell me why you're here." She said while smirking.
"Hehe busted. What's up Ikumi? I have some good news for you." He said while Ikumi raised her brow. "I'll be hiring a few people soon. They can help you out a bit for a short while if you need assistance."
"Nah I can handle it, even you know that." She said while carrying another box.
"Come on Ikumi, you could use a little bit of help. Besides, they are from Seretei In-cunt-eration so why not punish them by working them here?" He said.
"But why would they hire their own employees to your company? Don't you guys hate each other?" She questioned.
"That's what I want to find out." He said. "Just accept it okay? Then you'll have more time to spend with Kaoru." He reasoned. Ikumi sighed.
"Fine, as long as they don't get in the way then it's all good." She replied. Ichigo smiled.
"Then great. Speaking of Kaoru, how is that little rascal?" He said while chuckling a little. Ikumi laughed.
"Oh he's alright. He's still mad at you though after he caught us making the beast with two backs." She said, both grinning at the memory. She made her way over to Ichigo, a seductive smirk in her face. "I hope that was not the only reason you came here..." She said softly while starting to unbutton Ichigo's shirt.
Ichigo let out a small chuckle. "I know what you have in mind..." He said while squeezing her rear with one hand. "But I can't I'm afraid."
Ikumi pouted. "Come on Ichigo. I promise it will be quick..." She wined as she planted small kisses on his neck while her other hand glided down and cupped his manhood. "It's been such a long time. I need that big fat cock of yours right now!"
"Be reasonable Ikumi. I have to meet my clients and investors in like...five minutes, probably to discuss about my little fight yesterday." He said.
"Five minutes is all I need..." She said before kneeling down and unbuckling his belt.
"Ikumi!... Grgh!" Deciding that it was pointless to fight with her while she's like this, he let her drop down his pants and boxers to expose his semi-erect cock. She took off her gloves and began stroking it vigorously with her soft warm hands.
"Ah.." Ichigo sighed in pleasure. Her soft hands always felt good thanks to the gloves. Once she stroked it to full length, she didn't waste any more time and swallowed the tip in her mouth. "Ohh... fuck..." He groaned in pleasure as she started licking the tip all around with her tongue.
She pushed his cock up and started licking the underside like a lollipop. He moaned again when she kissed the tip before swallowing half his length in her mouth. "Oh yeah, that's it..." He moaned while tilting his head back as she slowly bobbed her head back and forth on his cock.
"Mmm, Mhmm..." She moaned on his cock as she bobbed her head faster, sending pleasuring vibrations to Ichigo. She released his cock with an audible pop to take a breath. She licked it again and brought it back inside her mouth but this time almost swallowing his whole length, the tip hitting the back of her throat.
"Fuck! Oh shit Ikumi..." He moaned as she began a fast heavenly deepthroat. One of her hands reached inside her pants and rubbed her clit while the other squeezed his balls. His hands held her head and helped guide her in and out, enjoying the wet vacuum engulfing his length.
She closed her eyes while moaning on his cock, utterly addicted to his taste and scent, slurpy sounds reverberating in the office. "Crap! I'm- I'm cumming!" He exclaimed, feeling his release coming...
Knock Knock Knock!
A knock on the door interrupted them. "Mr Kurosaki! You're there! The meeting's about to start, they're just waiting on you now!" Rukia exclaimed on the other side.
"Shit"He cursed. "Wait! Don't go in! Be there in a minute!" He shouted. Realizing Ichigo's situation, she sucked him harder and faster, her hand squeezing his balls harder trying to make him cum faster.
"Uhrgh!" He grunted before grabbing her head and unloading a large amount of his essence in her mouth, her cheeks bulging. He stayed there panting as Ikumi gulped down the rest of of his cum.
"There. Happy?" He said frowning while putting back on his boxers and trousers.
"A little. Better than nothing I guess. But if you ever come back here that cock whether you like it or not." She said in a demanding yet seductive tone. Ichigo grunts before opening the door.
"Ikumi!" He yelled when she smacked his derriere. Ikumi just shrugged innocently. "I don't know who's worse, her or Yoruichi..." He thought before exiting the office.
He was met by an impatient Rukia on the other side. "Come on, they're mad as it is so we can't keep them waiting." She said. Rukia couldn't help but notice Ichigo's disheveled appearance. "Is everything alright Mr Kurosaki?"
"I'm fine!" He blurted out as he stormed off, Rukia following close by.
"What the hell happened in there?"
Main hall entrance, 7:15PM
"She left? Without even saying a word?" Rukia said to Tatsuki as they stood on the steps while chatting.
"Yep. The entire day she's been avoiding us. I'm gonna lose her at this point." Tatsuki said sadly.
"Glad this day is over. god this is one of the worst Mondays in a long time." Rukia said in exasperation. Tatsuki nodded in agreement. "You think she went to Uryu this time?" Rukia asked.
"Well, she did say she'll break up with him when he leaves the hospital so I'm positive she's with him right now." Tatsuki replied.
"Grgh! What's wrong with carrot top, sticking his nose in other people's business! Does this man have no limits?" Rukia said angrily. Tatsuki sighed while rubbing her forehead.
"Honestly, I'm tired of all the fighting and arguing." Tatsuki said in a defeated tone. "We'll only drive Orihime away." Rukia was taken aback by Tatsuki's defeated tone.
"So what? You're just gonna give up?" She said. Tatsuki shrugged.
"I don't know Rukia. I just don't think we'll win against Ichigo with just talking. No." Tatsuki said as her expression became serious. "Ichigo is too powerful for that. What we need to do is take action, take matters into our own hands." She said.
"Well, what did you have in mind?" Rukia asked.
"I'll have to think about it later. Right now I could really use a nap." She said while stretching her arms.
"Good idea." Rukia stated. "Well, I better get going. Good luck on whatever you have planned." She said.
"See ya tomorrow Rukia." They waved goodbye before going their separate ways.
Ichigo's mansion, bedroom, 9PM.
Whack! Crack! The sound of a whip hitting flesh reverberated in the room.
"Ahhh! Ahhh!" A girl moaned in painful ecstasy. Ichigo, naked as the day he was born, stood next to the side of the bed while holding a whip in his right hand. Yoshi, the dark skinned green haired woman from work lied on the bed on her back, also in her birthday suit. Her arms were spread out, her hands tied by metal chains which were in turn chained to the bed posts.
Whack!
He smacked the whip against her breasts which made her yell in pain and pleasure. She was a masochist at heart. Her entire body was covered in welts, especially around her breasts and around her bushy womanhood.
"Please, master. Forgive me! It won't happen again I swear!" She wined.
Whack! "Ahhh!" She screamed as he smacked her tits with his whip.
"You always say that crap but you never listen do you! How many fucking times have you disobeyed me!" He scolded before smacking her on the stomach.
"Ah! Y-you don't understand master! She was trying to take you away from me! I had to do something! And she's the one who assaulted me!" She defended.
Whack! Whack! Whack! Whack! He delivered a barrage of whips on her body. "Take me away? Bitch I don't belong to anyone, especially you! From now on, stay the hell away from princess or you'll receive worse than those slaps! You're nothing but a slut in my eyes, do I make myself clear!" He demanded. She quickly nodded her head in agreement.
"Ohhh fuck!" She screamed when she was whipped right in her womanhood. "Please master, I can't take any more! I've-I've learned my lesson! I won't mess with that orange haired cow again I swear! Haha!" She laughed, which infuriated Ichigo even more.
Whack! He smacked her womanhood again which brought out another cry of pleasure from her lips, and a laugh. She wriggled her chained arms around, desperately wanting to free them and rub the many slashes on her flesh.
"It's obvious she will never listen master. You can't beat her at her own game." A woman said as she entered the room. It was Yoshino, a brown haired beauty, dressed in only her towel, her wet appearance signifying she just got out of the shower.
The two girls met Ichigo a few years back while working under Kariya. He ran a very illegal business and tried to take down Ichigo and Getsuga Corp from the inside, which ended up failing miserably. He was caught and arrested and the two girls begged Ichigo to not incriminate them as well. They even offered themselves up to be his slaves, to which the sly Ichigo agreed to.
"Then I'll just..." Whack! He said as he whipped her tits, which caused Yoshi to yell out loud.
"...Have to..."Whack!
"Aaahh!" She moans when he assaults her womanhood. "Oh shit! I'm gonna..."
"...Beat it out of her..." Whack! "Till she submits!" He yelled. One last smack to her nether regions tipped her over the edge.
"Owwwww! *pant*" She screamed as she came, her juices dripping out of her pussy. "Pl-please let me go master! I submit! I'm your... I'm your bitch! Ow!" She begged while panting heavily.
"Maybe she's suffered enough punishment master." Yoshino said as she looked at her friend's disheveled battered state.
"Hmp." Ichigo grunts and drops his whip. Yoshi laughed in relief as she saw Ichigo start to unlock her chains. Her laughing though made Yoshino rethink her words though. She looked at her master's erect cock and got a devious idea.
"I think you should punish her in...
a different kind of way." She said as she grinned. "After all, I did warn her about this but she said she didn't care what you'll do to her, that you can do whatever the hell you want. Obviously she was underestimating you master." Yoshi looked at her in horror.
Ichigo's scowl intensified. "Oh. Is that what she said? I see then." He said in a menacing tone.
"Wait! Don't listen to her master! She's making that up, I would never talk about you like that I swear! Please, you have to believe me!" She begged. She definitely did not want to endure another round of whopping.
"Look at her master, she's lying right in your face! Are you gonna. let her get away with it that easily?" She said with an evil smirk.
"No." He answered. He got on the bed and towered above the frightened Yoshi. He grabbed his cock and lined himself with her entrance.
"No wait don't! My pussy already hurts!"She exclaimed. Nevertheless Ichigo grabbed her legs and placed them on his shoulders and shoved his cock right in her bruised core. "Ohhhhh! Fuck you Yoshinoooooo! Ahhhh!"
Ichigo didn't wait for her to adjust and set up a harsh fast pace. Yoshino unwrapped the towel and fingered herself while watching Ichigo fuck Yoshi's brains out. Because she was tied up, she was forced to lay there and take the pounding and she could do nothing about it.
"Ohhhh Masterrrrr! Master! Oh god it hurts, it hurts so gooddd!" She moans as his dick penetrated the depths of her womanhood. The bed creaked from his hard thrusts, his intention to fuck the woman into the bed. "Oh yes! Punish me master! I deserve it! Ohh god!" She repeatedly moaned.
"Would you shut the hell up bitch!" He yelled but her moans only increased. Yoshino watched from the sidelines lustfully while fingering herself faster, secretly hoping for her turn after he was done.
"I'm cumming again! Ohhh masterrrrr!" She sultry screamed as she came around his cock. Ichigo didn't slow down his thrusts even during her climax. "Master..." She uttered before she passed out, either from exhaustion, pain or pleasure.
Seeing her unconscious form, Ichigo pulled out of her cunt and lied down next to her on the bed to take a breath, a little bit exhausted himself, his cock standing at attention.
Yoshino crawled on the bed to Ichigo. She sat on his knees and grabbed his cock with her hand. "Master, please can I have my turn? I would love to be punished as well..." She said seductively. Ichigo smirked.
"Hmm, I think I'll let you go for today for always being so loyal." He said. "Now come on, ride me." Yoshino nodded and raised herself up, her dripping cunt just above his length. In one quick motion, she speared herself down on his cock, her eyes widening as she felt it stretch her walls.
"Ahhh! It's...It's so big..." She slowly raised herself up and slammed back down again. She placed her hands on his chest to steady herself and started to ride his cock up and down.
"Ahh..." Ichigo moaned softly as her wet walls massaged his dick. He grabbed her ass and helped raise her up and down on his cock.
"Ohh yeah, ohh yeah!" She moaned as she rode him wildly, her breasts bouncing vigorously up and down with Yoshi still tied up.
Elsewhere...
"Perfect" A woman said as she shot up a dangerous toxic liquid of sorts from a syringe. On a flat table sat many other syringes, some ropes, gloves, pills, plastic bags, black tape, hand knife etc... This woman was definitely on a mission.
On the walls were various pictures of Ichigo in different places and times, most marked with a black marker much like a detective would. "Hm hm hm hm." She chuckled in satisfaction.
"Time to get rid of that abomination known as Kurosaki! Might as well include Yoruichi and Urahara while I'm at it!"
The following day...
Getsuga Corp main hall, 8am.
"Hmm hmm hmm..." A woman hummed happily as she entered the building, swaying her hips as she walked. All eyes fell upon her, loud whistling and gossiping could be heard in the room.
The woman in question is Rangiku Matsumoto. She had orange hair much like Ichigo's except her's was much longer, reaching to her lower back. She wore a formal white long sleeved shirt. Problem was, she had her top buttons unbuttoned, exposing a generous amount of cleavage for the world to see. Her bust, even bigger than Orihime's, strained against her shirt. She wore a short black miniskirt which showed off her creamy legs and high black heels.
She didn't come alone though. Behind her was a nervous Momo. She chose to wear a black blazer with a white shirt underneath and a black skirt reaching to her knees and black heels.
"Uhm... why are they looking at us like that?" Momo said nervously. Rangiku smirked seductively.
"I think I'm the one attracting all the attention and deservedly so." She said while looking around the hall. "Oh, now there's a familiar face." She said as she spotted Orihime walking to the cafeteria.
"Oh yeah, it's that girl from the restaurant, supposedly Mr Kurosaki's girlfriend." Momo said. "Heh, never in my wildest imagination did I think the drinking goddess Rangiku would be beaten in a drink off." She said while chuckling.
"Hey! She just got lucky that time! Beginner's luck is what they call it. Next time I'll show her!" Rangiku said in determination. She looked around again and sighed sadly. "Hm. Shame. I don't see Mr Kurosaki anywhere..."
She said in dissapointment. Momo strangely blushed at the mention of his name.
A petite dark haired woman entered the building and made her way over to Rangiku's direction. She goes by the name Sui Feng, though some like to call her Soi-Fon. She was rather beautiful, the only problem was her rather permanent scowl like Ichigo's. She wore a simple black vest and black pants with a silver watch on her left wrist.
"Oh, hello Ms Soi-Fon. Glad to see you could make it." Momo said while bowing her head.
"Well I'm definitely not glad." Soi-Fon said while glaring daggers at anyone who dared look at her eyes.
"Oh lighten up Soi-Fon. We're in Getsuga Corp! The biggest company around town! And we'll get to see Mr Kurosaki on a weekly basis!" Rangiku said with stars in her eyes.
"That sounds like torture. Can't imagine seeing that face everyday. And don't let that alcohol get in your head Matsumoto! Seretei Inc is and always will be the biggest countrywide!" Soi-Fon exclaimed.
Rangiku pouted. "Well, with the way things are going, Getsuga Corp will soon rise to power..."
"And that's exactly why we're here. " Soi-Fon interrupted.
"Uhm, excuse me." A deep voice said from behind them. They turned around and saw Chad. "Hello there." He said while raising his hand up in greeting.
"Oooh, hello~there..." Rangiku said in a sultry voice which made Chad blush.
"Uhm, are you Rangiku Matsumoto, Momo Hinamori and Sui Feng?" He asked to which they nodded. "Okay then. I'm Yasutora Sado, but you can just call me Chad. Co business owner alongside Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Yeah, we heard." Momo said.
"Good, then please follow me for your interview." He said as he gestured to the elevator
3 hours later... Ichigo's office.
Ichigo looked at the large flat screen in his office, supervising the news production side of the company. Today he decided to wear his usual white unbutucked He smiled as everything went smoothly, with Yoruichi using her 'assets' to gain more viewers. He was interrupted as someone entered the office.
"Sorry, am I interrupting Ichigo?" Chad said.
"Nah. Come in." Ichigo replied. "So, have you questioned them?" He asked.
Chad nodded. "Yes, I did. Even showed them around the building. Should I tell you about it?" Ichigo nodded.
"Well, the short girl, Momo Hinamori, seems alright. She has fair experience in the business world and she says she's very good at editing, animation and advertising. Check." He said as he handed Ichigo some of her files. Ichigo nodded in appreciation.
"Hmm, she seems useful. She can definitely help out in the production side of things." He said. "What about big tits, Rangiku?"
"Well..." Chad said while blushing, remembering the uncomfortable interview because of her seductive staring and him trying not to stare at her mammoth puppies. "...Uhm. She doesn't seem she has that much experience other than being Hitsugaya's assistant."
"A horrible one at that judging by Toshiro's complaint in the meeting." Ichigo added. "She was sent here because of disciplinary issues. Well that can be arranged. I'll just send her to Ikumi." He said.
His expression great serious. "And the other one? What's her story?" He asked.
"Sui Feng? From what I can tell, she has the most experience out of two." Chad began. "She's never been late for work, has a respectful attitude and has a great reputation amongst smaller companies. She's the ideal employee if you ask me Ichigo." Chad said. But something just didn't sit right with Ichigo.
"If that's the case, then why would Seretei Inc give up one of their very best? And for only 2 months? Hm." Ichigo questioned while scratching his head. "Tell you what. I think I'll make her my second assistant, keep her close. Besides I could use one more, my work is already too hectic and if she's as good as they say then we'll have no problem." He said. Chad nodded at his decision.
"Should I tell them of their new workstations?" Chad asked.
"Yeah. Also tell them they start next week Monday at exactly 9am. Later than that they're fired. I'll send the midget out in case they need more help." He said.
"Oh okay. Later Ichigo." Chad said before exiting the room. Ichigo sat there, pondering about the new recruits.
"I have to find Kisuke. Maybe he knows what the fuck is going on. Problem is he's on leave. Meh, I'm sure he'll..."
"Mr Kurosaki! I've just finished the memo, all I need is your signature." Rukia said entering the room and gave Ichigo a piece of paper.
"Ey midget. Do you happen to know three women by Momo, Rangiku and Sui Feng?" He asked. Rukia's eyes widened in surprise.
"Uhm yeah, sort of. How come you know them?" She asked.
"I don't. I'm asking because they're gonna be working here for a while." He replied.
"Really? Why?"
"Long story. Now will you please tell me more about them." He said impatiently.
"Hm, where do I start? Okay, me and Momo are very close friends and we live in the same neighborhood with Rangiku. Momo is alright, but I think Rangiku may be a bit of a problem. She's lazy and a drunkard who only uses her looks to get by." Rukia said, her tone getting angrier as she spoke about the busty orange haired. "I don't know much about Soi-Fon other than that she's respectful and a little harsh to her subordinates."
"Soi-Fon? Subordinates?" He asked.
"Oh yeah. We used to call her that in the Seretei." She replied. "But I recommend you do not call her that."
"I'll call her whatever the hell I want." He said firmly. "What else can you tell me about her? What was, or is, her occupation?" He asked.
"I'm not sure. I think she was part of the Seretei stealth force or something. That organization doesn't give off much info, for now I'm just speculating. Why are you asking me all this Mr Kurosaki?" She questioned. Ichigo stayed silent for a few moments processing the information.
"Stealth force? The one Yoruichi was at? But why would the old man send out a former stealth force agent?"
"Alright, thanks for the info midget." He said. "By the way, Soi-Fon... Sui Feng... whatever. She's gonna be my new assistant."
"What! No no no! You can't be serious! Mr Kurosaki, are you firing me!" She said panicking. Ichigo laughed at her reaction.
"Holy shit midget calm down. I'm not firing you. In fact, I'm giving you an upgrade. Congratulations, you're now my EA, executive assistant. Soi-Fon will be my assistant, but she'll be under your command. You'll be taking on more important tasks while she'll cover the rest. And also you are allowed to attend most of my meetings, if I happen to not be there you and Chad can fill in for me. Makes our job much easier don't you think?" He said.
Rukia remained speechless. She did not expect a promotion this early, especially from him. Inwardly she was screaming in excitement. "Thank you Mr Kurosaki! This means a lot to me you have no idea! I promise I will not disappoint you!" She said while clumsily bowing her head down. Ichigo smiled at her enthusiasm and show of respect.
"You're welcome Rukia. Now work hard or I'm gonna demote that cute ass of yours." He said. Rukia shot her head up in surprise and blushed. He then realized the implecation of his words when she saw her blush. "Wait, did I say that?" He said while blushing a little himself. D-don't get any ideas midget! I did not mean that... yes you are cute but I didn't mean it in that... Gyargh! Just get out my sight okay!" He yelled as Rukia quickly rushed out the room.
"What the fuck got into me!" He pondered. "Relax, it was just a moment of weakness." Shaking his head of those thoughts he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
Rukia jumped around embarrassingly in the hallway like a school girl, inwardly screaming from excitement.
"I got promoted! And I haven't even been here for a year! All that hard work is finally paying off!" She thought.
"... yeah yeah Kisuke I know..." Rukia heard Ichigo speak, supposedly having a phone conversation. "Is he calling Urahara?" She pondered. Curiosity got the better of her and moved closer to the door. She always wanted to know what role Kisuke played in the company since it was always kept secret.
"Look, just meet me tomorrow... I don't give a fuck... get your ass here by tomorrow... parking lot, got it." He cut the call.
"Parking lot?" She questioned. She shrugged it off, deciding it was none of her business.
Gestuga Corp cafeteria, lunch break
Tatsuki, Senna and Rukia sat at their own table while eating their lunch miserably. They were nowhere close to being joyful, well maybe except for the latter who was somewhat neutral after she just got promoted.
"Girls! You won't believe it! I just got promoted to EA!" Rukia said, trying to lighten up the mood. The other girls didn't even seem to care much.
"Yey, good for you Rukia..." Tatsuki cheered lifelessly while lifting her arm in mock celebration. Senna just stayed quiet and ate her burger.
"Come on guys lighten up. You're totally killing the mood." Rukia said.
"Don't bother Rukia. It's just not the same without Orihime. And how can we kill the mood if there wasn't one to begin with. She's the one who lightens up the mood and now that she's not here... well, you can see for yourself." Tatsuki said boredly.
"Speak of the devil, here she comes right now." Senna said pointing to Orihime in the doorway. Tatsuki immediately sprang to life again.
"Orihime! Over here!" She said as she waved towards her friend... if they even are still friends.
"Hmp!" Orihime grunted while closing her eyes and folding her arms. She ignored them and went to the menu stand to order her food.
"Well that's my cue." Senna said before standing up and making her way to Orihime. Once Orihime took her food, which was pizza and coke, she exited the cafeteria all the while without even sharing a glance at their direction.
"Haha ouch. Brutal..." said Senna while laughing.
"This isn't funny Senna!" Tatsuki said. "How you even find this humorous is
beyond me. If we don't do something, we could lose her forever, and I'm not about to let that happen!" said a determined Tatsuki.
Senna sighed. "How about starting with an apology? Ever thought of that?" She said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Don't you think I've tried that already! It didn't work!" Tatsuki exclaimed angrily.
"You know what I mean Tatsuki. You have to apologize for badmouthing Mr Kurosaki. She said if we're unwilling to accept him in her life then she won't be friends with us. It's that simple." Senna explained.
Tatsuki laughed. "Me? Apologize because of Ichigo? Never!" She said.
"And that's where the problem is." Senna replied. "Tatsuki, you have to let go of your pride and this silly rivalry with Mr Kurosaki. Why do you hate him so much anyway? Can't you guys just be friends like you used to be?"
Tatsuki sighed. "Look, I don't hate Ichigo, I just hate what he's become." She explained. "The Ichigo I knew was kind, sweet, caring. He always put others before him, and he certainly didn't boss people around." She added. "Now he's just a hateful, selfish, uncaring asshole!"
Senna frowned, not happy that her boss was being badmouthed like this. Rukia just sat there awkwardly while watching the heated exchange.
"Wow Tatsuki, so honourable." Senna said sarcastically. "You know, he isn't as bad as you think he is. He is still kind despite his rough exterior. He once told me all the hardships he went through which you couldn't possibly understand! He's only like this because; one, he's obviously now a businessman, two, it's just his way of shielding himself!" Senna ranted while breathing heavily.
She stood up from her bench before glaring at Tatsuki angrily. "And if you can't accept him, then maybe you don't deserve to be my friend as well. Don't make me chose between you guys and him, because you'll lose!" She said before leaving and going back to the cafeteria kitchen.
"Hey! Aren't you gonna eat your food! Urgh! Seriously!?" Tatsuki said exasperated. "Wow, I have to praise Ichigo. Whatever dick he uses has to be magical, probably tiny too." Tatsuki said while clapping mockingly.
"Don't think about it! Don't think about it!" Rukia told herself as her treacherous mind drifted off to the scene she saw in his office. "You're wrong Tatsuki. It's humongous! Like nothing you've ever seen before. God stop it Rukia! You can't keep thinking about it like this! It's been days now!"
"And you? What's your problem?" Tatsuki asked as she saw Rukia shake her head around.
"Oh don't worry about it, just a little headache." Rukia said. The two ate their lunch in silence for around 5 minutes. "Tatsuki?" Rukia broke the silence. "Don't you think it's about you let go? You've already lost two of your friends. Is it worth it?" She said.
Tatsuki sighed. "I know. But I'm doing this to save not only them but Ichigo as well." She said sadly. "I'm surprised you're saying this to me Rukia. Has the promotion gotten to your head?"
"No, just being reasonable." Rukia replied. She took a deep breath before continuing, "Look, I'm not sure if I should tell you this or if it's even accurate, but if it's what going to make you stop...I overheard Ichigo speak to Urahara through the phone."
That piqued Tatsuki's interest. "Kisuke. I always found him to be a bit creepy. Well? What did they talk about?" She asked.
"I couldn't hear very well, but I do know they are scheduled to meet in the parking lot tomorrow. Not sure what time though." Rukia replied.
"Why didn't you tell me much earlier! This is great news! The more we know about Kisuke, the more we'll find dirt on Ichigo. Don't worry, I'll go!" Tatsuki said with excitement.
Rukia sighed. "Buuuut, if you do get caught, don't bring up my name or say I'm the one who told you." She said to which Tatsuki nodded.
"Oh boy why did I say that." She thought while face palming. "Something tells me this will end badly."
Somewhere in Seretei district. 9PM
"So? Tell me your progress..." Genryusai Yamomoto asked.
"Not much progress at the moment Mr Mayor. There is a small problem..." Soi-Fon replied. "Mr Kurosaki has made me his assistant instead of Matsumoto as you hoped."
"I'm surprised the boy didn't pick Matsumoto considering all her 'assets'. I guess he's not as stupid as I thought. If he did, then she would distract him while you found out more inside info and strike when the opportunity arises. But now it's much more difficult as he'll be able to keep an eye on you at all times." He explained. "Sui Feng, you have to make sure he chooses Matsumoto to be his assistant instead."
"But how Mr Mayor?" She questioned.
"Just get Matsumoto to flaunt her breasts around, to use her body to seduce him to submission. No man can ever resist her charms." He said.
"Yes Mr Mayor." Soi-Fon bowed.
"Now, tell me about Getsuga's internal structure."
"From what I saw, it has around 15 to 20 floors, a testament to Kurosaki's growing power. I'm guessing his office is at the very top, but no one is allowed to go there without permission from security or Kurosaki himself. Not to mention it's super busy." She described.
"Hm, so it's not easy to access his office I see. I'm sure he'll grant you access seeing as you are now his assistant. Good job Sui Feng." Yamomoto said.
"Thank you sir." She bowed.
"Remember, you have limited time to do this. Make sure it looks natural as possible, don't let any evidence trace back to us. And if you get captured, DO NOT SAY A THING! I repeat, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING!" He warned.
"I'm aware Mr Mayor. That is our code at the stealth and punishment force." She said.
"Good. You're dismissed for now."
Next day, 6PM.
When her shift ended at six, Tatsuki, dressed in a black hooded jersey and black skinny jeans, immediately went to the well lit underground parking lot. This was the chance she's been waiting for all along. She hid behind one of the pillars and waited patiently for the perpetrators to arrive...
An hour passed and there was still no sign of them. "Come on, where are they!" She thought angrily. She sat there for an hour watching cars go in and out, each one passing by scaring the shit out of her with the possibility that Ichigo and Kisuke are in it. But Ichigo's car was parked neatly in the corner and she kept a close eye on it.
Another hour passed and they still had not yet arrived, and Tatsuki was starting to grow frustrated. A bunch of people started questioning her why she sat there alone in the parking lot to which Tatsuki simply said 'Fuck off.' "What's taking so long, when does his shift end anyway?"
Yet another hour passed and with no sign of their coming. Tatsuki had resorted herself to playing mediocre games to pass the time. The number of cars and people drastically reduced and Tatsuki grew impatient.
She sighed tiredly. "I don't see them anywhere. Maybe Rukia didn't hear right or all this is some hoax." She thought. She was about to stand up when she heard footsteps come down the stairs. She quickly hid herself properly on the pillar and peeked a little behind her.
And that's when she saw Ichigo in all his scowling glory walk down the stairs. He dressed himself in a white shirt, blue blazer, a red tie and blue dress pants. Scowling with his hands in the pocket, he walked to the center of the parking lot and waited, presumingly for Kisuke. He didn't seem to notice Tatsuki hidden in one of the pillars though.
Five minutes later a car arrived shining it's lights, specifically a green Honda Jazz, and parked nearby Ichigo. Kisuke got out of said car, dressed in his classic green clothing, brown sandals, a black haori and a strange green bucket on his head. He made his way over to Ichigo. Tatsuki quickly took out a voice recorder device from her pocket and held it by her hand.
"Now why did bring me out here so late Ichigo? Couldn't you just say it on the phone?" Kisuke said tiredly.
"Sorry Hat'n'cloggs It's just that you're the most knowledgeable person I..."
"Oh thank you Ichigo. I have an IQ far higher than Einstein's after all hehehehe" He said while fanning himself with his fan.
"Yeeeahhh..." Ichigo said with a bored expression, instantly regretting his words. "Forget I said that. Anyway, do you happen to know the girls Momo, Rangiku and Soi-Fon by any chance?" He asked. Kisuke's eyes widened.
"Huh, who are those?" Tatsuki questioned.
"Them? Of course I do. It's been a while since I last saw them. Why do you ask? You're hiring?" He said to which Ichigo nodded.
"They come from Seretei In-cunt-eration is where my problem lies." Ichigo said.
"But Rukia also came from there and you didn't have a problem with it." Kisuke replied.
"But this is different. My gut tells me
something is wrong here and I've learned to trust my gut." Ichigo said.
"Hmm, if so they why hire them?" Kisuke asked.
"I don't know okay!?" Ichigo yelled. "They told me they have disciplinary issues or something. I guess I just agreed to make up for my reckless fight at hell's arena. Besides, I won't even have to pay them a penny so it seemed like a good deal at first." Ichigo explained.
"Are they here long term or..." Kisuke asked.
"No, only for two months. Stop with the questions okay! Just tell me the more important stuff I need to know!" Ichigo exclaimed.
"Okay sheesh, no need to bite my head off. From what I can see, yes I agree to some extent about the disciplinary part. Toshiro sent them to you right?" Kisuke asked. Ichigo nodded. "Then he may have sent Rangiku in the hopes that she'll improve under your guidance. Momo is probably tagging along to keep watch over her. It's Soi-Fon who raises the big question though. Ichigo, do you know who she is?"
"Haven't I already told you? I don't know!" Ichigo said.
"Well, Soi-Fon is my... ex girlfriend. Yes..." He said while hiding his smile behind his fan. "She used to have a huge crush on me back at the academy. We eventually started dating, had some fun here and there hehe...Until I dumped her for the much better Yoruichi, with that perfect ass and... Ouch!" He yelled as Ichigo stomped on his foot.
"You idiot! Am I even supposed to believe that garbage story?!" Ichigo yelled at him while rubbing his head in frustration. "I said I want important details, not fake ex lovers Hat'n'cloggs!"
Tatsuki looked on in amusement from her hiding place. "Wow, they get along pretty well." She thought.
"Okay okay Ichigo I'm just joking. You broke my pinky toe last week no need to break my other one..." Kisuke wined.
Kisuke's expression grew serious. "About Soi-Fon..." He began.
"I heard from Rukia that she's rumoured to have once been in the stealth force, like Yoruichi." Ichigo stated.
"Except that it's not a rumor. She was and still is part of the Stealth and Punishment force, in fact she's the current head of said organization." Kisuke said. "Ichigo, that means that the old man sent someone to spy on us."
"Gyargh! That old geyser! This can prove to be a big problem." Ichigo grunts. "I've made her my assistant, just to keep watch. Can't let her roam around too freely." He adds. Kisuke stayed silent for a moment which confused Ichigo. "What is it?" He asks.
Kisuke sighed. "Ichigo, I think the old man may have some sinister intentions behind all this." His expression turned serious. "If he wanted to spy on you he could have just sent anyone else, NOT the head of the force. And Soi-Fon isn't just that, she's also an assassin, a bounty Hunter..."
Ichigo's eyes widened in horror. "You don't mean that... that the old man wants to get rid of me!?" He yells.
Tatsuki was beyond horrified. "There is no way that's true... there's just no way..."
"Yes Ichigo. It makes sense, your influence and power almost rivals Seretei, something no one has ever seen since the Quincy empire decades ago. He sees you as a threat, a threat that should be eliminated." Kisuke said.
Ichigo facepalms. "Wow. The old man has stooped down to a new low if he has to resort to measures like this." He said in exasperation.
"Hmm... so here's my assessment about the new hirings." Kisuke began. "Momo was sent to supervise the two, and because of her rather innocent looks she would make sure you wouldn't suspect a thing. Rangiku to seduce you in hopes of lowering your guard while Soi-Fon snoops around for the perfect opportunity to strike. You won't fall for her charms now will you Ichigo?"
"Ichigo's gonna... gonna get killed! What have you gotten yourself into? Whoever this Soi-Fon is I gotta stop her!" Tatsuki thought.
Ichigo broke out in laughter. "Come on Hat'n'cloggs you know me better than that." He said. His expression turned sinister, "If things have reached this far, then I'll have to resort to my own measures..."
"Hm, what do you have in mind?" Kisuke asked.
"You know Retsu Unohana right? Is she his assistant?" He asked and Kisuke nodded. "Good. I'll keep her close and hopefully squeeze any info out of her. She even agreed to a date so that's a step in the right direction." "Crap, forgot to take her number."
"Eesh... You sure Ichigo? Unohana is almost impossible to break." Kisuke pointed out.
Ichigo smirked. "Nah don't worry about it. She'll break, they always do..."
Kisuke lifted up his arms in defeat. "Okay then, if you say so... But be careful Ichigo, looks can be deceiving..." Kisuke warned.
"Then after I can squeeze info out of the tits girl. That shouldn't be really difficult judging by her drinking habits. She'll be more receptive to my advances. I'm not sure about the Momo girl though. I'll have to get to know her better to see what I can do." He explained. "And as for Soi-Fon..."
"Oh I forgot Ichigo, Soi-Fon and Yoruichi know each other pretty well. They were other like sisters back in the day." Kisuke said.
Ichigo nods. "Then Yoruichi can help out. As for the girl... I'll try to make sure to play dumb as much as possible. I'll play along, give her false information, lead her off the path. I'll try to capture and question her when the opportunity arises, and trust me, she WILL break! No one threatens my fucking life and lives to tell the tale." He threatened in a sinister tone.
"What does he mean by that? Will he kill her?" Tatsuki thought horrified.
"Looks like you got everything planned Ichigo. And just in the nick of time too." Kisuke said in a positive tone. Ichigo raised his brow.
"What do you mean by by that?" Ichigo asks.
Kisuke sighed. "What the old man doesn't know is that someone else is planning on destroying him from the inside, and her plans are already in motion." He said.
"Her?" Ichigo said.
"Yep. She's also the woman who framed us, Aizen if you will."
"Aizen! That creepy woman from the meetings?" Ichigo thought, remembering her creepy gaze every time he was in the Seretei meetings. "Yeah, I recognize her from the meetings."
"She's a master hypnotist. Be careful around her Ichigo." Kisuke warned. "She's already seizing immense power among the hollows and she's planning on taking over Seretei Inc. Once she's done that, she'll go after you and Getsuga Corp."
"Hmmm. Thanks for the heads up Hat'n'cloggs." Ichigo said while pondering about the woman.
"Hollows! They are real? Aren't they...". Tatsuki thought in horror.
Ichigo's expression turned sinister again, smiling wickedly. "If all else fails, then I'll send out my hollows. In fact, I'll send some very soon, just to teach the old man a lesson. Maybe the vizards too if they want..." He said.
Kisuke sighed. "Alright fine, but make sure nothing traces back to us. We could be incriminated for life." He said.
"Ichigo and hollows!? This must be a mistake. I know he's changed and all, but I didn't think he'll involve himself with the likes of them!" Tatsuki thought.
"Well I better get going if that is all. You did interrupt my beauty sleep after all." Kisuke said. But as he turned around, he spotted something peculiar amongst one of the pillars and he smirked. "Looks like we've got a dirty rat hiding among us..." He said.
"Shit! Does he know? But how?" She thought as she slowly stood up.
"Your shadow gave it away so there's no point in hiding anymore." He said. Ichigo moved towards her direction and before he knew it Tatsuki sprinted out passed him.
"Tatsuki?! What the hell?! Get back here!" He yelled as he quickly chased after her.
"Ey Ichigo! You gonna leave your car here?!" Kisuke shouted but his words fell on deaf ears as they ran out the parking lot. "Argh this is troublesome. All I wanted was to get some sleep, is that so much to ask for."
Ichigo chased her on the main streets at breakneck speeds. He almost caught her several times but she was smart and ran around buildings and alleys and jumped on and over cars to confuse Ichigo. They ran so far until they reached the town market.
"Perfect... hopefully this will throw him off the trail..." She thought. The town market was always a busy place with people packed like sardines even during the night. It will be quite the task to catch her here.
"Grgh!" He grunted in anger as Tatsuki disappeared among the crowd of hundreds. It didn't help that the crowd got even closer to him due to his popularity and status. Many were shouting his name especially the women, pleading for autographs and photos and whatnot. "Get off!" He shouted as he forcefully pushed through the crowd.
Once she thought she lost him, Tatsuki paused and leaned against a wall to take a breather. "He's much faster than I thought... At this rate I don't think I can last much longer... should have brought my bike." She thought. Minutes later she saw Ichigo running ahead elsewhere and turned around when she saw him. "Crap!" She continued running but much slower this time.
She looked behind her and saw Ichigo steadily catching up with her. She saw one of the market stalls and teared it all down with all it's baskets of fruits and vegetables on the path. It seemed to work as Ichigo had to slow down and jump over them. The owner of the stall wasn't too pleased as Tatsuki had to evade a few apples thrown her way.
She ran until she stopped at the pavement. She saw the large 10 lain main road ahead and hesitated. She had to cross it or she'll get caught, and the overhead bridge was a little too far.
"It's over Tatsuki. I could have sworn you were holding a device on your hand, so bring it here." He said while bringing his hand out and moving closer. Tatsuki spied on the road and calculated her chances. "Tatsukiii... I know what you're thinking and it's dumb. So you better... Tatsuki!" He yells as she saw Tatsuki rush into the road.
"Oh good I'm dead." She thought as she rushed in. She had to stop when she saw a car rush past her, mere inches from running her through. Cars hooting and the wind blowing through as the cars rushed by scared her to no end. A car's wing mirror grazed her shoulder as she carelessly crossed the road. Luckily she was able to make it through, her heart breathing rapidly.
"I'm never ever doing that again!" She assured while holding her knees and panting. She looked to the other side of the road. Ichigo was nowhere in sight. "Thank heavens he's gone. Still not taking any chances though..." She said as she ran to a destination she knew she'd be safe, or so she thought...
45 minutes later, Karakura Dojo
Tatsuki sat down on one of the dojo's benches and calmed herself down. For the past few minutes she played the recording, analysing the conversation. She wondered who the other women Ichigo was talking about, Momo, Rangiku, Soi-Fon, Unohana and Aizen. She concluded that Soi-Fon and Aizen seemed to be the most dangerous of them.
What shattered her heart was the fact that Ichigo himself is somehow associated with hollows. Hollows are considered the most cruel of people around town. They are cold blooded killers, rapists, traffickers, arsonists and robbers. In fact once one ever gets arrested, the minimum sentence is at least ten years. Everyone fears them, but thankfully the Seretei force, Soul Reapers if you will, have been able to keep them at bay. They rarely make an appearance but when they do, they cause absolute havoc, leaving families wailing and mourn.
It didn't help that Ichigo's life is also threatened. Tatsuki closed her eyes and scowled, trying her best to hold back the tears. "This is what I wanted right? Dirt on Ichigo?" She berated herself. "I didn't think things were this bad, that Ichigo is too far gone. What was I thinking! Was this all worth it?" She thought as a tear threatened to leave her eye.
"Rukia was right, I should have let it go. Who knows what I got myself into now." She thought. She picked up her phone and texted Rukia;
"If you have time please visit my dojo immediately. I found something very interesting and Ichigo is currently hot on my tail- Tatsuki."
"Argh!" She suddenly heard screaming, struggling and grunting coming from the other rooms as well as bodies hitting the floor. She stood up and got into a fighting stance, ready to face the intruder. The large doors of the dojo sprang open, revealing a pissed off Ichigo.
"Ichigo! How did you..."
"I knocked them out. Your security's pathetic. And I had a feeling you might be hear. The direction you ran to was opposite your house's so it made sense you'd be here." He explained as he took slow dominating steps towards her form. She retreated back in fear until her back touched the wall.
"Now give me the recording Tatsuki."
"N-no!" She said in defiance.
"You're playing a dangerous game Tatsuki! Do you have any idea what would happen if something like that got leaked out?" He said.
"Yes, you'd go behind bars and deservedly so! Ichigo, I can't believe you're associated with the hollows! Those guys are murderers!" She yelled.
"You wouldn't understand!" He defended.
"Then make me understand!"
"Just give me the damn recording!" He demanded.
"I'll only give it to you as long as you'll leave Orihime alone!" She replied...
To be continued, or this chapter would be too long.
