Chapter Fifteen

"Hey, Ichigo… I know it's strange to say this, but we hardly get any time together. You've been really busy with your captain work, and well, I've been given more missions lately by Captain Ukitake. We've been on a few dates…"

"I'm sure I could pass some of the work to Lisa… She doesn't seem to have much of a life outside of teasing me, and reading dirty magazines. I'll make more time if that's what would make you happy…" Ichigo said, sounding completely out of character.

He was usually kind of stand-offish and even cold at times. But now, he seemed really tender, even. Suddenly, he stood and then sat back down next to Rukia, embracing her and kissing her warmly on the lips.

Rukia blushed slightly, but leaned into the kiss, hugging Ichigo just as tightly. Ichigo smiled as he gently put his hand on Rukia's back, his hand moving lower and lower, gently caressing her body. Even through her obi, and her hakama, she could feel his touch warm on her cool skin. Slowly, he began to untie her sash, and remove her hakama, dropping it on the floor, revealing Rukia's small but perfect breasts.

Ichigo breathed lightly on the left breast, kissing the nipple and sucking on it briefly, his tongue running over it, causing Rukia to yelp in surprised pleasure at the tingling sensation that ran through her body. Rukia gasped, trying to gather her thoughts, finding it hard to do. Finally, she took a deep breath, and although her voice wasn't as steady as she would have liked, she spoke.

"H-hhhow… Did y-you get so good at this…?"

"I read some of Urahara-san's pervy books. I wanted to make it perfect for you." Ichigo said, gently prodding Rukia's pussy with his index and middle finger, kissing her gently on the lips, his kisses moving from her lips to her cheek, then her jawbone, making their way down to her shoulder, then her arm down to her hand, slowly taking her pants off, leaving Rukia just in her panties.

Ichigo eased Rukia onto the bed, licking her pussy through the thin fabric of her panties. As he did, Rukia began gasping and moaning in pleasure, begging Ichigo for more. After a few minutes of this, Rukia exploded, her panties becoming soaked. Rukia had been imagining this moment for years in her more private moments.

When she was with Ichigo, she had to be all business. But when she was alone, she could be as perverted as she wanted. If Urahara knew about what she did when she was alone… He would never let her live it down. He would tease her forever. Of course, the rather illicit relationship she suspected he had with Yoruichi would not only incense Soi Fon, but could be fun to hold over his head… Again, for that exact reason.

Not only did Soi Fon despise Kisuke, she was immensely jealous of his good relationship with Yoruichi. So it could potentially be fun to tell Soi Fon, sit back and watch the bombs go off.

"A-ah! I-Ichigo! N-not so hard!" Rukia cried, wincing as he bit down a bit too hard on her, leaving more of a welt than a hickey.

"S-sorry… It's my first time." Ichigo said, feeling suddenly very lame for making excuses.

"Be… A-ah… A b-bit gentlaahh-ahh-ahh…! Gentler… Aaahhh…" Rukia cried as she orgasmed again, even harder than the previous time, tears of pleasure flooding her deep blue eyes.

Ichigo twisted and crawled up to lie on top of her, still kissing her gently, his hand lightly caressing her breasts and his other hand pulling her panties down so that her soaked panties were now on the floor. As Ichigo gently caressed Rukia, he positioned himself at her entrance, prodding at her pussy before slowly pushing in. Rukia gasped as his penis buried itself all the way inside her, breaking her barrier.

As her hymen broke, she cried out. Ichigo stopped her, kissing her gently.

"Are you alright, Rukia?" Ichigo asked, holding her tightly. Rukia nodded, gritting her teeth. A strange tingling sensation was beginning to overwhelm her. It wasn't that it felt good, but it wasn't entirely unpleasant.

"It…s common f-for a woman to feel… pain the first time… fool… K-keep going…" Rukia growled, her pussy heating up quickly. Ichigo nodded, already feeling close. He began to thrust, pulling in and out of her, growling in pleasure, kissing Rukia gently as he moved inside of her.

As he moved, he could hear, though just barely, Rukia crying out in ecstasy under him. Soon, he felt her walls begin to contract around him, and she orgasmed first. He felt himself getting close, but didn't want it to end yet, so he kept going, holding himself back using a combination of reishi, and self-control, until finally, he released inside her, shuddering as he finished.

Exhausted now, both from the physical exertion and from the expenditure of reiatsu, Ichigo collapsed next to Rukia, kissing her once before falling asleep.

After a few hours, Rukia woke up first, and got up, going to the bathroom in Ichigo's office, turning the water up as hot as it would go, and getting in. Although she had an icy cold zanpakuto, she appreciated hot water as much as the next Shinigami.

After she got out of the shower, wrapping a towel around her, and going back to the office, being greeted by Ichigo as she walked in. He hugged her, kissing her gently on the lips, and leading her over to the bed. He was still naked from earlier, and rock hard. He slowly unwrapped her towel, gently caressing her breasts, flicking her nipple with his tongue.

"I love you, Rukia-chan." Ichigo whispered, kissing her on the lips again, his hand wandering down to her pussy, prodding it lightly. Rukia hissed in pleasure as his fingers brushed against her clit, nearly causing her to orgasm. Ichigo kept going until she came, feeling it even more intensely than last night.

This went on for a while, Ichigo playing with Rukia until finally, she found herself practically begging for him to enter her. Ichigo whispered something in her ear, causing Rukia to turn bright red. Ichigo had always been so plain vanilla that she never had considered that he thought about that kind of thing. It wasn't that she minded. But… Wouldn't it hurt?

She nodded, nonetheless, though, and got on her hands and knees, and waited, taking a deep breath as she felt the head pushing into her ass. As it went deeper, she groaned in pain, feeling her ass stretching around him. She wouldn't be able to sit right for a week after this. But Ichigo gasped in pleasure, finally burying himself to the hilt, and staying still for a minute, exercising incredible self-restraint to keep from simply plowing her immediately.

After a few moments, Rukia nodded that he could move, and Ichigo began thrusting, moving in and out at a slow, languorous pace, gritting his teeth already with ecstasy. He wanted to make this last as long as he could, so he held himself, breathing and continuing to thrust. However, as he buried himself again, Karin walked into the office and spoke immediately.

"Hey, Ichi-nii! What the hell!? What the hell!?" Karin yelled, seeing Ichigo having sex with Rukia. This distraction caused Ichigo to orgasm immediately, shuddering in intense pleasure at the tightness of it. How could she manage having his dick in her ass like that? She had heard about it in the halls, stupid boys talking about the pornos they watched. But she never considered it a possibility. She was caught halfway between morbid fascination and disgust at the thought.

"K-Karin-chan…" Rukia gasped, her face bright red in a combination of intense pleasure, and embarrassment at having Ichigo's little sister seeing them like this. Ichigo jumped down from the bed, struggling to put his clothes on as quickly as he could.

Rukia seemed to have an easier time of it, slipping into her clothes with the graceful ease of a dancer. She smiled slightly guiltily at Karin.

"Let's go for a walk, Karin-chan…" Rukia said with a smile. Karin nodded, still slightly breathless. She was slightly jealous. She wished, in some part of her, that Ichigo would do that to her. But she also knew that she had agreed to go out with Toshiro, and that she legitimately liked him.

She didn't just agree to go out with him because he asked. For a moment, Rukia and Karin walked in silence, not looking at each other. It was pretty quiet in Soul Society at that time of the evening. So they didn't exactly have to whisper to not be overheard.

"Listen, Karin-chan… Ichigo and I… We…"

"You d-don't need to explain yourself, Rukia… Couples are s-supposed t-to do things like that… I-it's… Completely… Natural…" Karin muttered, tears stinging her slate grey eyes.

"No, that's not it… I-I… I know you still have feelings for Ichigo. You can't hide it from me. Ichigo may be fooled, but he was oblivious to the fact that Orihime was in love with him. What does that say about his sense of perception?" Rukia asked with a smirk.

"I-I do… But I know I can never have him… I… How could you do that in front of me!?" Karin demanded, her voice breaking as she broke down in tears. She never cried. Never. She had promised that she would never cry again after her mother died.

"I-I didn't mean to, Karin-chan… You just sort of walked in… We should have locked the door, I know. But… I didn't expect to be doing that again in one night…"

"Twice!? You two fucked twice in one night!? No, i-it's not my business… I-I have to go back to school… I'm getting promoted two class levels. They… They're really impressed with me, but I need to pass a test to be moved up."

"Stop… You're not going anywhere in that condition. Would you like to get something to eat?"

"With you!?" Karin asked scathingly. "Hell no!"

"You don't have a choice. We'll go to a great American restaurant they have around here. Excellent steaks." Rukia said cheerfully, grabbing Karin's arm and half dragging her to the restaurant.

"Listen, Karin-chan… I'm sorry you saw that. But… Did you expect us to remain celibate throughout our relationship? We've been dating for months, and Ichigo is a healthy young man. And I'm… Well, young by Soul Society standards, anyway…" Rukia said with a sheepish laugh. Karin laughed at this as well.

"How old are you, Rukia?" Karin asked. Rukia scowled.

"Don't you know never to ask a lady her age? No, it's fine. I'm 159 years old…" Rukia said with a smile. Karin gasped. She had known that Rukia was older than she looked. But she was practically robbing the cradle with her age difference from Ichigo. Or maybe he was robbing the grave, depending on one's perspective.

"Are you serious? I had no idea Shinigami could live that long… How old is that old man with the ponytail… The Captain-Commander?"

"Well, I'm not sure… At least 2,000 years old…

"He's old, even by Shinigami standards. Frankly, he was one of the previous Captain-Commander's first students, and Captain-Commander Genryusai was around 3,000 years old… Give or take a few centuries… Most Shinigami don't keep track of their age after they reach their 200th anniversary or so, so most Shinigami can only estimate their ages based on events that they remember."

"Lieutenant Kuchiki… It's an honor to have you here… Can I take your order?" The waiter asked, coming up to their table, bowing politely to Rukia and Karin. Rukia ordered first.

"I just want a cheeseburger and fries."

"I'll take the steak and potatoes, please." Karin said.

"What kind of vegetables would you like?"

"The green beans, please…"

"How would you like that cooked?" The waiter asked.

"Um… Medium, please."

"Say, aren't you Captain Kurosaki's sister?"

"Yes, I am…" Karin said tartly, clenching her teeth, not quite wanting to talk about her Ichi-nii at the moment.

"S-sorry… I'll be right back with your drinks…"

"Just water, please…" Both girls said together. Rukia had no head for alcohol, and Karin was underage, though she wasn't when she was in Soul Society.

"So, Karin-chan… How are your classes going?" Rukia asked. Karin smirked.

"Pretty well… I'm hoping to graduate within a year. Ichi-nii's help has gotten me a number of sparring partners. Between Lieutenant Kuna, Toshiro, Ichi-nii, Captain Soi Fon, and the other students, I have all the partners I need. Rukia… Who was your first crush?" Karin asked, blushing slightly. Rukia started slightly. She wasn't expecting that question.

"Well… My first crush was my Lieutenant, Kaien-dono… He… Was actually a lot like Ichigo… I was surprised when I first saw Ichigo how much he resembled Kaien, both physically and in personality. Ironically, they're actually related. Your father's last name used to be Shiba. So was Kaien's. I'm not sure what their actual relation to each other was. Thank you…" Rukia said as the waiter put their plates down. Karin began eating immediately.

"Wait… A-are you saying that you only like Ichi-nii because he reminds you of Kaien!? What the fuck!?" Karin demanded, perhaps looking for a reason right now not to like Rukia.

"Not at all. I only said that I was surprised at first at how similar they were. But Ichigo… My feelings for him go much deeper than just a crush… I love him."

"I'm sorry, Rukia… I…"

"No, no need to apologize. I love you and Yuzu as well. You two are like my sisters. How's your steak?"

"It's… Really good… Japan is well known for its steak, but none of it tasted like this… What part of the cow is this from?"

"It's spiritually charged meat. It's Filet Mignon, but it's filled with the spirit particles that suffuse Soul Society, so it's unusually tasty. The same is true of the fish here, and really all food. Our foods tend toward the extremes, and our chefs are some of the best in history. We seek out the best chefs to prepare the food in our restaurants."

"Amazing…" Karin said, taking another bite of the steak as Rukia took a small bite of her cheeseburger. She wasn't a big fan of cheeseburgers, but she was fine with it.

"Karin… Would you like to spar with me sometime? Ichigo always said that you can learn a lot about a person by fighting them. Technically, I'm not supposed to spar with students, since I could theoretically harm them. But, I think with a talented woman such as yourself, you should be fine."

"Really? Y-you… Want to spar with me? Even after I walked in on you, and accused you of what I did? I'm surprised you even want to be my friend anymore." Karin whispered. Rukia smiled.

"Not at all. Listen, I understand how you feel. With Kaien, I was incredibly jealous of his wife. She was so beautiful and talented, and I wanted Kaien myself. My jealousy was… Unseemly, or so my Nii-sama said. But, I couldn't help it. So, I understand your feelings.

"Maybe someday, we can be friends."

"We are friends… I've known you for what? Two years? Three years? Yuzu would be ecstatic if you became our sister. I don't know how she's doing with her Quincy training. I'm doing alright, training under Ichi-nii and Ishida-san when I go to Earth occasionally. But Yuzu has a lot more time, and doesn't have the Shinigami powers to distract her. Yuzu-chan was always the intelligent one of the two of us.

"I would like to spar with you… Maybe tonight?"

"Not tonight. Too late. Maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow is a day off for the Shin'o Academy. It's a perfect day."

"Deal."
