It's been a while. I have made a lot of changes to previous chapters, mostly minor ones. It's not really necessary to read them again. The plot hasn't changed, but there are additional details and dialogues that might be important. So I suggest to check them out if you don't remember that much about this story. It's much better to read now in my opinion. Also, be warned! This is now M-RATED for obvious reason!

It didn't go as planned. This particular plot twist was not supposed to happen. She was supposed to be in control. She was supposed to make him beg dammit!

Ino found herself blushing madly again as she tried to take in how it ended up like this. He had ended up once again pinning her down on the bed, but where the hell had their clothes gone to? She was just too dazed to pay attention to what had been happening. She hadn't even got a chance to ogle his gloriously bare muscular body. Meanwhile, he must've been ravishing her nonstop if her labored breathing and sweaty skin were any indication. This was so unfair! She felt almost completely sated already before she knew it.

Just then, she shivered as she felt something hard poked her inner thigh. Oh, it felt so good... The male on top of her, however, couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you sure you're not a virgin, Yamanaka?"

"Huh? O- Of course not." Geez, she wasn't even like this during her first time!

"Stop blushing then at the very least. It really doesn't suit you."

"Jerk!"

"Okay, I'm done. You really kill the mood."

OH NO! She got to do something! Thankfully, before he could get off her, her arms moved on their own to wrap around his strong neck. It wasn't enough, though. She got to make some excuse to save her face.

"Please... It's been a while, okay? More than a year if our time in the Dangai counts." Yeah right...

In that case, she would've been wild after enduring for so long, not meek like this... Luckily for her, he seemed to believed her silly excuse somehow.

"Alright. Do you need me to start over again?"

"NO! I mean, I'm getting the hang of it now so..." As if she would embarrassed herself further!

"Good. Are you ready, Yamanaka?"

A blunt head of something huge began to part her wet folds this time. And she embarrassingly gulped.

"Y- Yeah. Oh wait, Toushiro! It's Ino, please... for tonight at the very least."

"Very well. It's my pleasure... Ino." And he smiled to her surprise.

The heartwarming smile was soon followed by a deep gentle thrust as he finally entered her. The effect was instantaneous. Her whole being just melted and burst in euphoria with him being surprisingly kind, tender, and so big! Oh, the way he stretched her completely until he couldn't possibly go any further felt almost painful, but so damn good!

She was done, just done. Her body felt so pleasantly weightless as her arching back hit the soft bed again. It was such a critical hit to her ego, but she just couldn't bring herself to care. She could die happy, and went to hell for all she cared after tasting such heaven.

Her partner, however, despite feeling good himself, couldn't help but sigh again as he noticed her eyes fluttered close lazily.

"Oh no, you don't. I would freeze you solid if you dare to sleep now."

"Huh? I'm sorry, darling... I just can't help it... but please... do as you please with me..."

She regretted it instantly. Her eyes went wide, and she could only gasped as he effortlessly flipped her around. She then found her face being pressed against the bed with her naked butt raised, facing the air. She quickly opened her mouth to protest, but all that came out was a muffled gasp as he roughly penetrated her again from behind without warning. It was so different than the first time but by no means less good!

This time, he didn't give her a chance to recover as he pounded her hard with such an inhuman pace. It went on for what felt like hours. All the while, she tried helplessly to endure the pain and the onslaught of pleasures that threatened her sanity.

The slapping sounds of skin against skin echoed around the room. She could only let out helpless cries each time his overly big shaft mercilessly drove into her. His free hand ravaged any part of her body it could reach, leaving bruises until it settled on her right breast. Her cry suddenly turned into scream as his rough hand squeezed the soft mound hard. Then it happened. She might as well combust on the spot as he gave one last powerful thrust to release himself deep inside her, violently shooting all of his seed into her womb. Each heavy spurt sent a tidal wave of ecstasy throughout her being till she could bear it no more. She cried out his name desperately for the last time before going completely silent.

It was finally over.

For a blissful moment, he relished the feeling of marking her from within with his potent essence as he waited for her hot body to stop trembling. And almost as soon as it did, she finally fell into slumber with barely energy left in her. Seeing this, he pulled his still hard member out of her with another sigh.

"You're lucky I don't expect you to make up for this, girl."

He gave her annoyingly happy face a halfhearted glare, but it soon turned into a tender look as he laid her nude body into a more comfortable position before covering it with a warm blanket.

What did he expect, really?

It normally took at least two experienced females to fully satisfy him. He should've at least given this girl a credit for being able to make him feel this content in the end somehow. The only times he had ever felt like this was that first and only time he did it with his Lieutenant, and of course most of the time with his ex girlfriend... Damn, he really didn't need to be reminded of her at times like this.

He felt kind of bad for the sleeping girl for already thinking of another female just after they had been intimate.

―

A Senkaimon door appeared briefly in the night sky of the village hidden in the leaves. It disappeared as soon as a tall slender figure stepped through it. The figure was definitely female, a young and gorgeous one at that. Her standard Shihakusho and the badge around her left upper sleeve indicated her rank as the Lieutenant of the Eight Division of the Gotei 13. While the silver pieces of kenseikan adorning her long midnight hair, and the fingerless white tekko that extended above her elbows showed her status as a nobility of the Kuchiki Clan.

All in all, the young Shinigami lady appeared pretty much like the female version of the one and only Captain Byakuya Kuchiki. And the nobleman in question could not possibly deny such notion as he approached the only child of his beloved aunt. He stopped in front of her, and as soon as he did, his only cousin bowed gracefully at him before raising up again to look in his eyes.

"Byakuya-niisama. I'm the one who should've come to you."

"I was out for a walk. How did you manage to get here, Suzuya?"

"Well, with Lisa's permission and a bit of Rukia's help."

"If you're here to see Captain Hitsugaya, you'll be disappointed. He's currently away."

"I couldn't care less about him. In fact, I'm looking forward to see his execution. I also wish to thank the human girl who got him into such predicament. She had done all the females of Seireitei a great favor by instigating the demise of such a foul male."

The noblewoman looked convincingly spiteful, but her cousin was not impressed. He knew how much she still cared about the boy regardless all of her attempts to show otherwise. She was simply bitter that her ex boyfriend had seemed to get over her easily and even had the audacity to play around all he wanted with his so called fangirls ever since their breakup nearly a decade ago. Byakuya honestly sympathized with her, but he was also too professional to let such a private matter affect the way he viewed his fellow Captain.

"It's unbecoming for someone of your status to be this immaturely spiteful."

"You say that because he's your friend!"

"Watch your tone, Suzuya."

She stiffened instantly before bowing deeply at him again.

"Please, forgive me, Byakuya-niisama. I just couldn't help it. I know that you support him, but please understand my predicament. He defiled me for years, but refused to take responsibility in the end. I didn't even ask much from him."

"It would be good for you to try to accept his purpose as a guardian of Soul Society. His life is dedicated for his duty only, not a woman, even you."

"I understand."

He gave her an intense look for a moment, making sure that she really did understand. He knew her since she was born. And he always had a soft spot for her. She used to be a carefree girl, so different than him despite their nearly identical features. It used to be much easier to read her before her whole drama with the young Captain started. Unfortunately, after the sudden break up, she began to act more and more like himself to his irritation.

"So why are you here?"

"It's about the Central 46's decree for our family. Believe it or not, despite her constant nagging for you to remarry, mother doesn't agree with how it is forced upon you now. I think the same. We want you to know that you are much more important to us than the status of our clan."

It rarely happened, if at all, but at that moment, Byakuya Kuchiki felt genuinely touched. He didn't expect that his aunt of all people would be on his side this time. He loved her dearly. She was his mother figure ever since his own mother passed away when he was still a child. However, their personal feelings aside, she was like his main opposition within their clan. They disagreed more often than not regarding political matters. So this was honestly a surprise to him.

"Tell her not to worry. I have everything under control."

"That's good to hear."

He fully expected that she would gave him another bow and took her leave, but she just stood there stoically like a mirror, showing him his own expression.

"Why are you still here?"

"Mother also asked me to give you some latest references about the current most eligible noblewomen in Seireitei."

The nobleman's eyebrow twitched. He shouldn't have expected anything less from his dear aunt.

Unbeknownst to him, however, his sassy little cousin was actually there in a secret mission given by the Captain-Commander himself. She was supposed to investigate the mysterious new lady friend of his. She couldn't be more excited with this order despite her skepticism towards the rumor. And deep inside, she was also hoping to see him again after avoiding each other for so long.

She still wished for a closure.

―

She still wished for more, much more!

Oh Ino was perfectly sated alright, too perfect in fact despite the soreness all over her body. But as her eyes fluttered open, the first thing that she wanted that morning was him inside her again. She just couldn't help it dammit! He was just too addicting for his own good. And she cursed him for making her even think for a second about begging him for more. No way in hell that would ever happen.

She seriously needed to get her mind off this.

Lazily, she shifted a bit, trying to sit up. That was when she felt it, the warm fluid leaking from her aching sex... And she stiffened instantly as she realized what it was. To be fair, she had never felt such a thing before, seeing that she had always made sure all of her previous partners used protection. But to hell with them all. It was her first time doing it raw... And she was reminded that she hadn't received any form of birth control herself for more than a year if her time training counted...

For some reason, she blushed madly all of a sudden. Oh, this was so not the reaction she wished to have in such a serious predicament! And certainly, this was not something he wished to see on her face that early in the morning.

"Seriously, Yamanaka. Your sudden tendency of blushing disturbs me a lot. You don't look cute if that's you're hoping to achieve so just stop already."

A pillow was quickly thrown at his sitting figure near the window. He didn't catch it. He smashed it back so it hit her annoyingly flushed face instead. And all it did was made her face even redder if that was even possible.

"You bastard. Argh! Why did I even let you touch me last night?!"

"Well, there was that lovely confession followed closely by your desperate plea to have me inside you."

"And here I thought you've become a bit nicer to me the moment you said my name so sweetly." Oh how she wished to hear it again...

"Oh? So you remember? I thought you were asleep the whole time."

Ouch. She had the decency to look down in shame even though she didn't even have one to cover her still naked body. It was not that hard to understand. She too would feel insulted if her partner fell asleep during sex. But she was sleepy for an entirely different reason! She needed to make him understand.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I just couldn't help it, you know. It just felt way too good, unbelievably good! Did you... feel good too?"

"I did."

And she couldn't be happier. Though it disappointed her a bit that he was already fully clothed, clean, and ready to go. She wanted to show him that she could make him feel even better. She really wished to make it up to him... Oh well, she could at least make sure that she had the chance.

"We can have more of this, you know, much more... I promise I'll do better next time! So please, stay with me?"

"You know I can't."

It broke her heart. It really did, even though she was not surprised by his answer. But she could not let him see this or he would look down on her even more. She got to go back to be her usual cheeky self as soon as she could.

"So, darling..." She grinned smugly. "I'm the prettiest girl?"

"One of the two."

"Damn you. That's like cheating, you know! Who's the other one?! It's your Lieutenant, isn't it?"

"No. It's Captain Kuchiki's cousin. My ex girlfriend."

"Y- You had a girlfriend?!"

She shot up in surprise, showing him a pleasant view of her jiggling breasts. He took a moment to admire their fullness as well as the rest of her perfect curves. The time in the Dangai had really given her body time to develop so beautifully. She looked so tempting, even more so with the light bruises he had left all over her milky skin last night. And he almost couldn't refrain himself from taking her again right there and then as he saw the remains of his semen leaking down slowly out of her raw nether lips. The desire to claim this blond female was simply overwhelming.

Despite his inner turmoil, however, his face remained as stoic as ever. Even then, it would be better to get his thought elsewhere, like the past...

"She broke up with me long ago."

"Let me guess. It was because you slept around with your fangirls, wasn't it? Hah! You got that coming, you cheating bastard!"

"No. I had no such fangirls back then."

"So why did she dump you?"

"I refused to marry her."

Oh well, that shouldn't be a surprise. He seemed to be the type of person who was married to his job. It still dampened her spirits, though. And somehow, she could sympathize with his ex.

"Oh... She must've been heartbroken then." She knew she would.

"I don't think so. The very next day, she swore that she would never let any males touch her ever again."

"Really? That sounds kinda extreme..."

"Not really. She likes females too."

"You mean she's bi? Your girlfriend was a bi?!"

"Actually, I'm the only male she has ever been attracted to."

That only proved how attractive he was. Damn him. It seemed like the whole relationship was responsible for his inflated ego. Still, she couldn't help being curious about how it started.

"How did you two get together in the first place then?"

"Well, she was just a snotty new Lieutenant, but she had the audacity to look down on me, one of the most esteemed Captains."

"Oh, I already like this girl! She made you taste your own medicine! What did you do then?"

"During one Captains - Lieutenants meeting, she dared to question my competency just because I looked a bit younger than her. And the next thing she knew, I ravished her sassy mouth senselessly in front of the others until she could barely stand on her own."

Damn. She didn't expect such answer, and it really turned her on. She was suddenly filled with an overwhelming desire to have him kiss her in such a way. And honestly, she shouldn't give a damn about what he might think of her anymore after his rejection.

Feeling suddenly so confidence of herself, she left the bed with every intention to get the kiss she wanted. Her move was simply sensual as she closed the distance between them. And soon enough, she was straddling his lap. The kiss was within reach! Surely this boy, Shinigami Captain or not, couldn't resist the temptation of her innocently parted lips. What was left was for him to ravished them senselessly just as he did with his ex.

A fully pleasant gasp left her waiting lips. It wasn't because he complied to her bold invitation, though. Instead of finding her mouth, his mouth closed in on her left breast. Her disappointed mouth could only moan and gasp then as he began to suckle on her nipple. Yes, she didn't exactly get what she wanted, but no way in hell she would say no to this! Even so, she needed him to pause once in a while if she didn't want to embarrass herself again. She got to make his mouth left her breast even just for a second. She got to keep their morning talk going!

"What happened next?" A sigh left her lips then as he pulled away slightly.

"The next morning, she barged into my office, demanding me to take responsibility and become her boyfriend. It was very rude of her. So to teach her a lesson, I took her virginity right then and there before I agreed."

"SERIOUSLY?!" Oh gawd, she got turned on even more.

"Well, she was the most desired girl in Seireitei. I was also in the peak of puberty back then so it was only convenient."

"So you were only using her to satisfy your urges?! You're a real bastard, you know that?"

Her hand grabbed a fistful of white hair to make him look up at her angry face. His expression remained unchanged, though. He didn't get why she suddenly got this bothered over something that had nothing to do with her. But strangely enough, he felt the need to explain himself.

"I won't deny that I only used her for sex at first. But before long, I found myself wanting to hold her throughout the night instead of asking her to leave after we finished as usual. I found myself enjoying her company more than I liked to admit."

"You were falling for her... Do you... still lover her?" No, no, no, please no!

To her disappointment, or maybe not, he pretended like he didn't hear her timid question. He returned his attention to her tempting breasts. His mouth found its way back to her abused nipple while his hand moved to gently fondle the breast he violated last night. Her moans and gasps were like music to his ears. But after a while, he suddenly found his head being jerked back by his hair until his gaze met a pair of angry light blue orbs.

So she still expected an answer, he realized with a sigh.

"It doesn't matter anymore, Yamanaka."

"Fine." She frowned then. "Hey! Yamanaka already? It's Ino please, Toushiro..."

"No."

"Jerk. Did you also call your girlfriend by her surname?!"

"Of course not. I so did not wish to call her cousin's name while I was with her, especially in bed."

"Ugh, that would be horribly awkward indeed... What's her name anyway?"

"Suzuya." His voice was surprisingly tender as he uttered the name.

And her worry made a return. This was not good. She tried to convince herself that he was only feeling melancholic for a bit there. The one being with him in the moment was her, not the other woman. She really wished to hear some kind of reassurance from him at least. No way he would give her one on his own, though. She needed to get it herself.

"Did you... Did you also said her name so sweetly in bed like you said mine last night?"

"Not that I can remember. Most of the time, we growled or shouted each other's name."

That made her smile. So his brief sweetness last night was meant for her only. Despite her relief though, she couldn't help but frown as her thought returned to what he just revealed about his previous relationship.

"That doesn't sound so healthy..."

"Well, our relationship basically could be summed up as who could conquer the other."

"But you still loved her..." No, no, no, again, please no!

"I guess."

That hurt. Damn him. He really did love her... No! She refused to accept that the relationship was a meaningful one! Perhaps it was actually one-sided?

"Did she love you?" No, no, no, for the last time, please NO!

"I don't think so. Sometimes, it seemed like she only wished to see me bow down to her."

What a relief. But strangely, she didn't feel that much better. Even worse, she just knew why...

"Yet you fell in love with her. You're so unfair, Toushiro. If you can love such a woman, why can't you at least be nice to the one who actually loves you?"

"... You mean you?"

"Duh."

"Let me try then."

Before the surprise even registered in her mind, he pulled her head down until their lips met softly. They kissed. They really kissed. They finally kissed! And what a wonderful kiss it was. The way his lips moved so sweetly against hers resonated deep with her heart. It was as if he was really trying, trying to convey his feelings to her. She nearly teared up then. It was such a new sensation to her, a whole new kind of pleasure that reached her very being.

The precious moment only ended when he gently pulled away. He still looked pretty much impassive, but his eyes showed his hidden desire.

"I'm sorry, Yamanaka. I want you now."

"Huh? You mean... all this while, you've been wanting to..." She blushed then to her frustration.

"Yes."

With a practiced movement of his hand, he freed his aching member out of its confines in no time. Also in no time, her eyes grew wide and her mouth fell open as she finally got the chance to really witness it. No wonder she felt like being split in half last night. Oh, it wouldn't do good for her self confidence if she kept thinking of its legendary size. She needed to focus on something else, like how perfectly marvelous the shape was! No! Bad thought! It only made it harder to resist, not that she intended to. It was just she needed to be a bit in control this time.

"Take me then. But remember. It's Ino to you, Toushiro."

She let out a light squeal then as he grabbed her round butt before lifting her up to align her entrance with his erection. He could see her shivered in anticipation so he decided to really try to be nice to her.

"As you wish, my Ino."

A long drawn out moan escaped her mouth as he slowly impaled her down to his rock-hard shaft. The penetration was nearly painful like she remembered, but combined with all the pleasure it elicited, brought her an instantaneous release like before. She whimpered his name as she reached for his shoulders to steady her quivering body. It was just too good, but unfortunately for her, it had also costed her too much energy.

She looked up at him pleadingly. It'd better be embarrassed than having to stop so soon.

"A little help here, darling?"

He only smirked in amusement before his grips on her butt tightened again. Her pleasured moans and gasps returned quickly as he repeatedly lifted her up and brought her down gently to meet his thrusts. Unlike their first time together, this was pleasantly intimate. The sensations were still too much for her, though. With each thrust, the little energy she had left gradually dispersed in small bursts of pleasures throughout her body. And she could only lean closer and closer to him for support until her heaving chest met his face.

It was not possible for him to pass up the bouncing temptation. His mouth hungrily began to devour those plump breasts of hers as he increased the pace of their coupling. She whimpered and gasped helplessly but still tried to endure so they could finish together. It was not possible for her to last any longer, though. In desperation, her hand reached down behind her until she found his heavy shack, and she squeezed it without warning. The result was instantaneous. He bit her nipple and slammed her hip down. His member twitched violently as he ejaculated deep inside her, filling her womb fully with his seed once more. And again, the sensation of being filled to the brim with his essence made her cried out his name in ecstasy as all those pleasures erupted at once.

Everything went quiet then, and the world might as well not exist for the two of them as he held her close to him.

―

The rest of the journey was such a wonderful experience to her. Along the way, they bickered most of the time, but it was a good thing! That meant their relationship had really returned to normal. It was even better, though, much better. They had become lovers...

Also he had stopped calling her by her surname! At least half the time. And he never forgot to remind her about that.

"Stop being so clingy, Yamanaka. It's even worse than your blushing face."

She immediately let go of the arm she had been holding close to her chest before pushing him away. It didn't matter that in fact she just did as he said. She was too angry to care at this point.

"Fuck you, Toushiro!"

"Maybe later. It appears that our destination is on sight."

Sure enough, from the distance, the dark towering buildings of Amegakure came into view.

It was not the time to argue, she realized then as she flash-stepped closely after him. The closer they got, the rain became more prominent. And they were wet by the time they finally arrived. But it didn't matter, because they were soon greeted by the sight of a Plus running desperately in their direction. What really caught her by surprise though was the familiar black and red coat the female soul wore.

"She's that female Akatsuki! And she's dead too!"

The woman's eyes widened in surprise as she heard that, and her frantic steps faltered. Everything happened so fast then. An impossibly long blade suddenly shot out of the darkness right behind her. But just before the sharp tip could pierced her clean from the back, it was blocked by the Shinigami Captain's own blade. His eyes were completely cold as he looked back at his female companion.

"Get out of here, Ino. Take her with you. As far away as possible. Now."

She had never seen him this serious before, not even when he fought against that scary Shinigami. But she understood. Besides, she needed to appreciate him for calling her preferred name in such a dire situation. So without further ado, she grabbed the Plus' hand before dragging her away. And with a bit of Shunpo, she managed to get the two of them a safe distance away from the town quickly enough.

It was then that she remembered that she was helping an Akatsuki. Still, she had no reason to be hostile since the woman was already dead.

"Hey you. What were you running from?"

"I - Thank you for helping me. I believe it was a Shinigami that tried to eliminate me. I know I'm already dead, but all I could think about was run away..."

"A Shinigami..." It must be one of the scary kind.

Just as she was about to question the woman more, she suddenly went pale as she saw Amegakure out of the corner of her eye, or to be exact, what just happened to it. In a blink of an eye, the town, the whole towering metal structures had been horizontally cut clean in half...
