Ichigo stared at the mansion before him and let out a sigh. While he was impressed at how quickly they had managed to build it, he was slightly off put by the size. He guessed that he did need it since a good number of the remaining Arrancar had followed after Tier and Neliel to stay in the living world. A barrier over Kyoto kept them from drawing the attention of Seireitei and the advanced hollows had taken quite the liking to the supernatural side of the city.

Kunou had cried all morning as she tried to keep him from leaving the palace. Even with the assurance that she could visit anytime and that he would still be over often didn't appease her. The building was ten minutes from the young girl's home, but she treated it like the furthest place possible from her. It took Yasaka sternly chastising the girl, and then lecturing Ichigo on being too soft to get her to stop.

Still feeling a little out of place, he hefted his bags over his shoulder and entered his new home. He found his [Queen] inside directing the movement of furniture as Arrancar bustled around to follow her orders. She turned to him and offered him a warm smile, one that was no longer hidden by collar or mask. Both she and Nel had found they could hide their masks when they suppressed their abundant energy.

"Ichigo, welcome home," her smile widened ever so slightly as he nodded at her before continuing to look around, "You have a few documents from Serafall-sama in your study. Your University books list has also been placed there. I would suggest you head to your room though, Yoruichi is waiting for you."

"Sure, thank you," he paused before leaving already sensing out the other woman's energy, "Are you prepared for tomorrow?"

"Yes, we have decided that myself and Yoruichi will go with you," the blonde's shoulders tensed and internally Ichigo felt bad for causing her the stress, "Neliel will watch over the Arrancar here, and Grimmjow will keep watch over those that stayed in Hueco Mundo, he rather likes acting like the King there."

"Good, that sounds like a plan," with a nod and a grateful smile the [King] started walking again, "Make sure not to overdo it today Tier, I'll see you in a bit."

The woman simply nodded and returned to her previous task. Ichigo moved deeper into the building eventually finding the stairs and made his way up towards where he could sense his [Rook]. He was a little annoyed to find it actually took him almost five minutes to find the room and couldn't help but grumble about rich people as he entered. He was met with the laughter of Yoruichi and a smile returned to his face.

"You know, I was one of those rich people," a Cheshire grin had Ichigo thinking she looked truly beautiful, "Big houses become easy to navigate after a while, but it does take some time when you need to appear fancy."

Ichigo lazily tossed his bags into a corner of the room before starting to look around. He noticed that Yoruichi had already moved a few of her personal things in, but not too much. He poked his head into the bathroom and nearly cursed at the size of it, he figured he could have almost twenty people in their comfortably. Behind him he heard his, girlfriend he supposed was the right term, shuffling around before the door closed. Turning around he was left speechless at the sight of his Goddess on the bed posed on her side and smiling at him.

"Ichigo, you've been tense lately, and others have noticed," she raised one delicate finger and motioned him forward, unlike when he was younger, he did not hesitate, "Let me help you… relax, before tomorrow."

Before the woman could realize it Ichigo had her flush on her back and was bent over her and the edge of the bed. His lips were upon hers and like everything else she had taught him he had improved his kissing rapidly. She felt a fog of desire grow in her mind as one of his hands trailed up and down her side as the other tenderly caressed her neck. When his tongue slipped into her mouth and began wrestling with her own, she gave a low moan before breaking the kiss with a small chuckle.

"Damn I'm a good teacher," gently she pushed him back and was happy to see the desire in his eyes, "Now why don't you get rid of those pesky clothes and lie down. Let your devoted lover care for you."

He looked nervous for only a moment before looking her in the eye and nodding. Steady hands undid the buttons on his shirt before letting it drop to the ground behind him. Her sensual smile faltered as here in the full light without steam from water to hide it she could see all of him, and as his pants slid down, she examined his entire body.

"I thought all of those scars were removed?" he winced, and she pulled him to her to show her support, "I only expected to see the last one that killed you. I haven't had a good look at your body obstruction free in a while."

"When I was made a Devil, I think my Spirit Form and Human body began merging into one. I don't need to separate to use my powers any more, I can just will them forward," he went silent for a moment and she contended herself by slowly tracing each scar with a gentle finger, "My soul remembered all of the wounds, and when it was restored it put all the scars where they were supposed to be."

She didn't say anything, instead she just caught his lips again and kissed him with all the love she could manage. When she backed off, she smiled at him until the warmth returned to his eyes and he smiled back. A hand traveled up his stomach to his chest as her smile became sensual again.

"Just another thing to find sexy about you," pushing him back into a small mountain of pillows she let her hands wander lower, "Now, I seem to recall you teasing me yesterday about my pretty little mouth," she leaned up and caught his earlobe between her teeth for a second, "Let me show you how naughty this pretty little mouth can be my love."

She balanced herself with one hand on his shoulder as her lips danced over the skin of his neck and chest. Occasionally she would bite down on a spot before running her tongue over it. Her other hand went directly to her prize, capturing his penis and stroking it until it fully erect. Loving the sound of his deep, panting breaths she bit down gently on his nipple while shooting him a smoldering smile before sliding her body down, so her face was even with his crotch.

"You used to yell so much about the smallest things that I always assumed you were going to be just as loud during sex," she paused and kissed his tip causing a sharp intake of breath from him, "I find it exceedingly cute that you try to be the silent type, it will make it all the better," her tongue was out and slid from his base back to the tip in a maddeningly slow movement, "when I make you yell out for me."

Finally, she popped the head into her mouth and swirled her tongue before starting to bob up and down taking more and more each time. Out of the corner of her eye she watched as one of his hands fisted the sheets of the bed. She soon found that two thirds of his dick fit in her mouth before he was at the entrance of her throat.

She let out a moan and felt his breath halt in the moment of pleasure. As she continued to suck him his pants returned, slightly shallower now and she grinned around the cock. She paused for a moment when his other hand reached her shoulder, but instead of moving to her neck or head like she expected he carefully pulled her arm up until he could comfortably hold her hand. Glancing up she found slightly unfocused eyes staring down at her as he squeezed her hand.

Not needing anymore prompting she resumed her activities, enjoying the way his thumb absentmindedly made circles on the back of her hand. A few moments later she took a deep breath on an up stroke and held it as she reached her initial limit. When she pushed further, taking him into her throat the pressure on her hand increased and she felt his entire body tense. Making it to the base she let out a moan of pleasure and was rewarded with a very primitive grunt. His hand left hers and found purchase on her wrist and she took that as his signal and pulled of just in time to receive his load all over her face.

She chuckled as she wiped his essence from her face, and when she could see again, she felt immense pride as he simply lay there. His eyes were slightly glazed, and lips parted as he panted as though just completing a marathon, if he were a normal person anyway. She couldn't see an ounce of stress in any of his muscles.

"I think I like that look on you," her hand slowly started pumping again, coaxing him back to a ready state, "Now, are you ready for the real deal."

"Wait," she gave him a confused look as he sat up and gently grabbed her hand, "I kind of want to wait for that. I want to have a proper date with you, and without having any thoughts about stuff like tomorrow at the time."

"Oh, um, of course," internally she didn't know if she should be embarrassed or annoyed as she tried to back away, "Sorry."

"Hold on, I was hoping you could teach me one more thing in the meantime," before she could question it he had moved and pined her on her back, "I want to know how to please you in other ways, I want to be more than one of those guys who can only use their dicks before being done."

"Now that's a good boy, but as a note for the future say that before you decline, I was a little pissed for a moment there," she heard him mumble a sorry before he claimed her lips in another kiss, and quickly she pushed him back, "Ichigo! I haven't had a chance to rinse my mouth yet."

He stared at her in slight shock for a moment as she simply blushed. In that moment she didn't seem like his teacher, or someone who routinely kicked the crap out him, or even the insatiable flirt. In that moment, with her eyes slightly averted, her nose bunched in a pout and her cheeks darkened in a blush she was simply the woman he was in love with and she was gorgeous. So, with a laugh he cupped her cheek with a hand and brought their lips together again.

She would deny it later, but Yoruichi actually squeaked into the kiss but quickly gave in and let him do as he pleased. His hand eventually trailed down her cheek and trailed down to her breast giving a light squeeze before continuing down her flat stomach. Instead of the direct path that she craved, he then veered off to stroke her outer thigh before settling on her ass and giving a strong grope making her moan. He broke the kiss and when she looked in his eyes, she felt herself moisten further at the desire that radiated from him.

"I always knew you were an ass man," she grinned as he flushed slightly, even as his lips started to descend onto her throat, "I like it, and first lesson, when you go for my breasts again use a little more pressure, but not too much alright."

He acknowledged her by biting the junction her collar bone met her throat. His bites were a little harder and a lot longer than her own and she could tell that wouldn't be a thing he would change. He was definitely marking her whether he realized it or not.

Unlike him, she was vocal in her approval of his actions, and small moans and whispered instructions helped him direct her pleasure. As he trailed kisses down her toned stomach both hands reached up and just as she requested squeezed her breasts with just the right amount of strength drawing the loudest satisfied moan yet.

As he ended up between her legs, he pulled her right leg over his shoulder so he could keep massaging her breast and playing with her nipples. His other hand started kneading her other inner thigh and for a moment the woman considered she had somehow signed up for an erotic massage.

"Alright Ichigo, I need it," for the first time since he started this special 'training' he ignored her and started planting feather kisses over her legs, this time getting a groan of need from her, "Please Ichigo!"

Suddenly both of his hands stopped moving and in near frustration she snapped her eyes down to him. He started at her for a moment, "I love you," and with that his mouth was on her quivering slit. Yoruichi felt her chest swell with warmth even as her head shot back with a loud moan that she knew could be heard outside of the room.

"God damnit, OHH, you strawberry bastard," her hands were now fisting his hair, not to direct him as she enjoyed his clumsy work for the moment, "I love you too. Ohh, for all that is good or bad or whatever in this world keep going!"

He complied while sliding her left leg over his shoulder letting him reach new angles as his hands came to possessively grab her hips. She could feel her release beginning to build up and started to gently scratch his scalp as her moans came un-interrupted now.

Yoruichi mentally cursed as she could hear a voice outside the door. Before she could even think a warning several very loud knocks could be heard. While Ichigo stopped to look at the door the extremely frustrated female pulled a pillow over her face and proceeded to yell into it. Her disappointment was obliterated in the next moment.

"Come back later!" no other words were said, and his tongue was suddenly buried in her snatch. Instinctively her legs squeezed down on his ears as she was forced to bite down on her pillow to try and control her moans. She was suddenly very self-conscious of whoever was at the door and could most likely hear her.

She was moments from her orgasm when one of his hands moved to her center and in a very clear accident managed to start rubbing her in the perfect spot. Her mouth opened in a silent scream as her body did a full spasm. Her legs and hands wrapping around Ichigo's head in a probable attempt to suffocate him on accident.

As her mind blanked out and her body slacked Ichigo moved again. She realized that he was definitely a man who enjoyed kissing when his lips were once again devouring her. She wasn't able to muster the strength to do anything more that gently moan under his lip assault. When they separated again, he remained leaning over her, just resting his forehead on hers as they each panted.

"I'll have to try that lesson again later," he grinned at her as she just gave a small hum, "You quit teaching halfway through, and I know I can do better."

"And you will," she reached up and trailed a hand over his jaw, loving how he leaned into the touch, "But I rather enjoyed your uncoordinated methods this time, be sure to throw that in every once and a while, it's cute."

"I'll remember that," standing up he tried to commit the sight of her to memory, "I'm going to clean up real quick and go see what was up, do you want to join me or stay here and rest?"

"If I go get cleaned up with you, you won't get a date before I make you mine my berry."

"Alright, do you want me to bring you anything if I can?"

"That's alright, I'll get up after you get done with your shower."

He bent down and kissed her temple once more before walking off to the bathroom. Yoruichi let her eyes trail down to his ass as he went. A chuckle escaped her before she gave him a wolf whistle making him duck his head slightly and walk faster. As the door shut behind her she let her head hit the bed and released a content sigh.

Ichigo gave a satisfied groan as hot water rained down on him. He found himself needing to focus to stop the smile that was fixed on his face for a moment before just not caring and working to wash his body quickly. He mentally set a reminder to plan a date soon and had to turn the water to near ice at his resulting thoughts.

When Ichigo made it back to the welcoming room of the mansion he was greeted by an ever-stoic Tier and a blushing Neliel. He tried to ignore slight embarrassment that filled his mind. As he got closer the green haired woman averted her eyes and the blond nodded to him.

"Ichigo, we have received word from Grimmjow," Nel turned to the other woman with shock written on her face, "I tried getting you when it first came through, but now that you are unoccupied we should discuss it."

"I tried telling you that you shouldn't disturb them!" The greenet's stern look vanished under Tier's impassive stare, "Whatever, we'll work on your timing later."

"But my reaction time is better than yours?"

"…" the woman suddenly slipped into her more emotionless persona and simply walked away.

"Anyway, what did the panther want Tier?"

"After deciphering his more vulgar language," the [Queen] let out an uncharacteristic sigh at that, "He reported that the Squad Two Taichou, Fukutaichou, and several members garbed in 'Ninja' outfits entered Hueco Mundo and have set up around the area that you planned to the meeting tomorrow."

A sudden flush of anger ran through the hybrid and all the work that Yoruichi put into relaxing him vanished in a second. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down and think. It was a possibility that Yamamoto hadn't sent her, for all he liked to posture, most of the Captains worked to their own tune, especially concerning him. Tier frowned as she observed her [King]'s body tense even worse than when he arrived at the mansion earlier.

"I instructed him to subtly keep tabs and only to attack should any of them try and break into Los Noches to cause damage," at his satisfied grunt and appreciative nod she continued, "Now, as I have undone whatever Yoruichi did to calm you, I shall take responsibility. Please tell me how she eased you so I may do the same."

For the first time in a long time Ichigo went full blush a sputter as he tried to find a way to say anything to that. On the stairs Yoruichi had just started descending when she heard the shark woman speak and she nearly lost her footing as she also felt herself blush. With one acrobatic move she was in front of the blond and placing her hands on her shoulders.

"We can talk later about that, for now Ichigo will just need to survive," receiving a curious look and nod the darker skinned woman gave a relieved sigh, "Good, I want to get a little further before I start letting him start romancing other women."

"What?!"

"Oh come now Ichigo, I thought I already told you," she turned to him and he was surprised to not see a teasing look, but rather the loving one she had been giving him often now, "We are going to find you many, many women to love and protect you."

Ichigo found himself speechless as he started at Yoruichi. He noticed as both Neliel and Tier nodded their heads in agreement and suddenly he felt very conflicted inside. He grabbed Yoruichi's hand and dragged her along as he quickly moved path both prior Espada. The woman was surprised and nearly stumbled at the unexpected tug but managed to just keep her feet under her.

"Ichigo?"

He ignored her as he moved deeper into the building. As he spied an open door that led to a lightly populated room, he altered course towards it. Inside he found a number of the Arrancar that followed his [Queen]. As he entered, all eyes turned to him and all of the advanced Hollows felt their flight instincts act up.

"Leave."

"Ichigo what's wrong?" all the Arrancar pushed out of the room as quickly as they could and Yoruichi was forced to wait for the door to close before trying again, "Ichigo-"

"I don't want many, many women!" the woman took a step back as Ichigo whirled towards her, "I'm not… I just… No."

"Come here," she led him to a couch an sat down making him lay next to her with his head in her lap, her fingers started to lightly play with his hair, "I'm sorry. I should have found a better way to tell you, but you will have a lot, and I mean a lot of heart broken women if I keep you to myself."

"I don't even deserve you; I can't try and be worthy of you if I have to try and also be worthy for others."

"You foolish little berry. You don't get to decide if you deserve me, because I do, and I love you. That should be enough for you," he remained silent before nodding into her lap, "Besides, you have a lot of royal blood to promulgate. Your boss is a Maou and you're a devil, so that is to be expected, and the Kurosaki and Shiba names… need… to… um forget I said that."

"Sh-Shiba?"

"Now Ichigo, if you remain calm, I'll give you a blowjob right here right now."

She took it as a credit to her skill that for a long moment he contemplated it, but years of his father lying to him won out.

XXScene BreakXX

"I'm telling you Isshin, she loves him and now that they are together, she is going to accidentally let it slip."

'Kisuke, I'm not telling him. He isn't ready to know.'

"You're fucking stupid." That may have come out to harsh.

'What did you say I couldn't hear you?' small blessings it seems.

"I said you're being silly. Your son is more than ready to know. In fact, he needs to know, I think his Quincy powers have come clean with him about a lot of things."

'What do you mean Quincy powers? I thought he lost them all.'

"He regained his powers several days ago, I actually thought he would have told you somehow, huh."

'See it runs in the blood, we keep secrets… wait. Damnit, he sent me an email two days ago…'

"Have you been ignoring contact from your son?"

'I, I haven't wanted to talk. He was just going to push the issue.'

"I lied earlier, what I really said was that you're fucking stupid, I stand by that."

'Kisuke, that's extremely rude. I'm your friend damnit! Have faith in me!'

"Not when-"

Urahara's entire shop rumbled as a wave of energy washed over it. Dread formed in the pit of the blonde's stomach and he glanced in the direction of the new Kurosaki Household. Part of him wanted to think that Yoruichi could go for a week before accidentally telling her lover anything by accident, or on purpose, the jury was out for now.

'Kisuke, I just felt something. If felt stronger than Aizen before-'

"That was your son. I guess even I overestimated how long Yoruichi would keep from letting something slip. It was nice knowing you, but I'll likely be dead soon, though I suppose you will too."

'Now isn't the time for jokes! What do you think the Old Man will do when he gets word of this?'

"Take two minutes and read that email you ignored before. Go on, I'll wait."

For almost exactly two minutes the other end of the phone was silent. Absentmindedly Kisuke pulled out his fan and carelessly waved it in front of himself. When a large sigh was given over the phone, he paid attention again.

"Well?"

'I need to go, there are a lot of emails I probably should read.'

"How many is a lot?"

'…Just don't ask.'

"Damnit Isshin."

'I'll talk to you later.'

"Sure, if we are alive, oh and I'm telling Kukaku and Ganju, bye."

'Kisuke don't you-*click*'

"You owe me another one," the shopkeep plastered the biggest smile he could onto his face before spinning in place, "Kurosaki-kun! What a wonderful surprise!"

"Do you have a way to contact Kukaku?" Kisuke's smile faltered, this clearly wasn't the angry young man he expected, "I want to let her know."

"Ichigo, are you ok?"

"No," Ichigo walked deeper into shop and simply slumped down in the cushions that Yoruichi normally used, "I'll get over it, but I think I'm finally done with Kurosaki Isshin."

The blond wanted to object, but only for a split second. Instead he just nodded his head and made his way to one of his secret labs to look for one of his many inventions. He returned only a few minutes later with something no bigger than an I-pad, but clearly different with extra nobs and buttons on the back.

"I'm not going to lie Kurosaki-kun, but knowing those two they probably lost and or broke the counterpart to this device," nimble fingers stopped and sad eyes turned to his favorite student, "I should have told you, I'm-"

"Stop," finally a hint of anger, "It wasn't your job, or Yoruichi's job, or anyone else's job. It was his! So fuck him, I'm done. He doesn't want me as part of his family anymore then fine, he can consider us done. I'll keep trying with the twins, and as soon as they tell me to stop I will."

Kisuke just nodded and went back to trying to connect the device. After several minutes he gave a sigh and shook his head in the negative. Ichigo buried his face in his hands for a moment before running them through his hair and letting out a deep breath. He gave a nod and sat back staring at the ceiling for a few minutes, the shop keeper just watched. There was a sudden beeping and the device turned on showing a much to close frame of Ganju.

'Sis! I got it to work! I told you I didn't break it!' a hand was suddenly pushing his face away, 'Ow, that hurts, cut it out!'

'Give it here you idiot, you really will break it!' Kukaku's face was now in the screen but at a more appropriate distance, 'Why am I staring at a ceiling, Kisuke-baka where are you!'

"One moment, I have someone here to talk to you," picking it up he handed it to Ichigo, "Don't break it please~."

'Ichigo! How have you been Berry boy!'

"Hey Kukaku, sorry I didn't get in touch sooner, I didn't know about this thing."

'It's all good, you just have to go drink for drink with me next time. That blond bastard said it was only for when you learned about somethin', don't know what but I guess you did.'

"Yeah, I learned something alright, does the name Isshin mean anything to you?"

'Well we had an Uncle Isshin, but he died a while back. He was a big shot Taichou even if he was an idiot. Why?'

"Yup that checks out," Kukaku frowned at the momentary face of rage she saw, "Your Uncle Isshin is my father, Kurosaki Isshin. I didn't know he was related to you, but when Aizen attacked he admitted to being a Shinigami and a former Taichou of the 10th division."

Ichigo was forced to watch as her face went through a litany of emotions. She started out stunned before gravitating to hopeful. Hope was crushed by hurt and confusion and soon anger mixed in. Then as if hit by a train her eyes snapped back to him in almost absolute horror.

'Ichigo-'

"Are you alright?" his question cut her off, she stopped and after a moment tears welled in her eyes and her face scrunched trying to stop them, "It won't help, but I feel the same right now."

'Yeah but you aren't breaking your tough reputation,' she let out a soggy chuckle and Ganju could be heard balling in the background, 'Guess you really are stronger than me now, huh brat.'

"Nope, I just ran out of tears for my relationship with him, I'm pretty sure it's over now."

'Ichigo? No, it isn't my business I'll but out.'

"Are you alright with us being family?"

'Of course! Geeze at least I know your still stupid,' Kukaku faltered as he let out a tense breath and his own eyes finally watered, 'Are you ok Ichigo?'

"A lot of people have been asking me that lately," he gave her a genuine smile and she felt her heart skip, "As long as I have my family, my new one and the one I didn't even know, I'll be fine."

'Hey, do you think we could come visit?' the question made Ichigo pause in surprise, 'It's stupid boring here and I could use a little excitement.'

"If you're so bored, do you want to just live here?"

Kukaku took her turn at being shocked before a huge grin settled on her face. For the next hour the two made a plan for how to move the last two true Shiba, and their two-member extended family also known as the twin guards, to Kyoto, Japan. Internally Kukaku felt a little giddy, as she stared into Ichigo's eyes as he smiled at her, she felt fireworks exploding in her heart.
