Chapter 6: Sweet taste

Two weeks past since that day and things were very hectic for the former forth espada. Orihime was like two completely different people to him. When they were home, if he had said or done anything to irk her in any way outside of those walls, she was that dominant and scary woman who took pleasure in torturing him. When they were outside though, she was that kind and sweet girl everyone knew. It's not like anyone would believe him if he said she was treating him terribly since he was technically a prisoner. His skin had gotten some color to it, a little bit of a tan, and most thought the only 'torture' he was going through was eating Orihime's cooking on a daily basis. That would cause anyone to try and run from her.

Sometimes Orihime treated him like an object for her own pleasure, sometimes she would be gentle, sometimes it would be painful, sometimes it involved rather odd fetishes of hers. Regardless, every time was something new from her. She was constantly getting supplies and such from Isshin, who was all too happy to sell his products to her. If it was one thing he knew, it was how the body of any soul, whether it be soul reaper or arrancar, worked. That was very useful information for the burnt orange haired girl.

The very odd and messed up part to all of this, was that Ulquiorra was starting to enjoy it.

But where one is experiencing pleasure through pain and torture, the other was receiving it through other means.

The other? Why, the other former espada within the world of the living of course.

Halibel had been living a pretty normal life with Ichigo ever since she and Ulquiorra were imprisoned to the two. At first she despised the idea of a man owning her like this, but after a week she realized that Ichigo wasn't like other men. He was strong but not arrogant. Brave but not selfish. Protective but not controlling. She liked that about him. It was about the only thing keeping her sane at the time.

The loss of her loyal fraccion, the betrayal by the man she served without question, her near death experience, and her imprisonment were all just nails in a coffin she wished she could just rest in. It was being given to Ichigo Kurosaki, the man who defeated Aizen, that felt like the last straw to her. She wanted to beg him to end her right then and there, but hesitated when she actually saw how he acted to others, especially his sisters. He was kind and caring to them, not traits she was used to in men. This held her tongue for a few days until she finally started opening up.

Since the Winter War, Ichigo had told his sisters about the spiritual world as best as he could and even mentioned how he was a soul reaper like their dad was. To his surprise, Karin already figured as much, but Yuzu was shocked to say the least. She cried a bit when she realized that Ichigo puts himself in danger to protect others only for Ichigo to reassure her that he will always come back and still protect them as well.

Halibel was conflicted by hearing that. How could man be this strong and yet this kind? It was foreign to her.

When Ichigo introduced her to his family and explained why she was here, Isshin tensed for a moment while Karin kept the same passive look. It was Yuzu that was awed by the former third espada. She wound up asking Halibel a lot of questions that the tanned woman was not prepared for. Seeing her uneasy expression, Karin smirked and stopped Karin's question assault and simply welcomed the woman to their home. Isshin saw how the former espada was reacting, how she was actually taken aback by the two twin girls acceptance and he went back to his goofy persona. This earned him a confused look from Halibel and a foot to the face and back courtesy of Ichigo and Karin respectively. Halibel actually smirked slightly at the exchange.

After she had adjusted to the family and living as a normal person for once in her life, Halibel had started to enjoy herself as time went on. She had her own room, which was the guest room, her own sets of clothes she got from the mall with Ichigo's help, and she even learned some things from each member of the Kurosaki family. From Isshin, she learned a few medical tricks such as CPR, just in case. She learned how to cook from Yuzu, albeit it took her many attempts and trial and error to do so. She learned how to play soccer with Karin and was surprisingly enough a natural at it. She learned of many human forms of entertainment and knowledge from Ichigo.

One of the first places they went to was the amusement park. It was the first time that Ichigo saw her really smile as they went on ride after ride. Surprising to the hero, he found that Halibel was a bit of an adrenaline junkie as they kept going on roller coaster after roller coaster. Despite Ichigo's protests at first, he enjoyed his time with her.

After the some time, the two began to become close. To bead it all happened by a pure accident.

To break it down, one day Ichigo was about to take a shower and head out to Kisuke's shop to train. Simple, right? That is, until he opened the door and saw Halibel standing there completely naked and covered in water droplets from the shower.

The sight he saw would be etched into his brain for who knows how long as he saw everything on her beautiful body. Her large and round breast that seemed to just defy gravity and looked soft to the touch. Her darker nipples that were erect for some reason at the time. Her curvy body that just seemed to have not an inch of imperfection towards it. Her wide and shapely hips that led to that delicious chocolate mocha ass of hers that he his eyes glued to. And finally, the small patch of yellow pubic hair right above her perfect pink slit. The second Ichigo saw her body was the second he saw her in a whole other light, especially when he had the hardest erection of his entire life.

Of course when Halibel noticed him standing there staring at her, full blown red face, she couldn't help but also blush beat red in embarrassment. She threw a towel at his face and shut the door as quickly as she could, but the damage was already done. He saw her whole body and reacted like any other man would.

Halibel dreaded the inevitable next time they would meet up. It would be all too awkward for the two when they saw each other not long after.

Not much to say here other than a lemon in the next chapter between Halibel and Ichigo.

Till then, stay awesome and as always,

PEACE!
