Chapter Seventeen
"Kensei! Kensei!" Mashiro yelled, banging on Kensei's door, seeming quite cheerful. Kensei sighed, and walked out. He had been avoiding her as much as possible lately to avoid making the same mistake he almost made last time, that he would have made had his subordinates not interrupted. He had almost had sex with his lieutenant… With Mashiro… The one who had driven him crazy for centuries. Had he just been feeling sexual frustration for all those years?
Had he secretly, even to himself, wanted her all that time? She just kept knocking, though, and it didn't seem like she was prepared to leave. He had been waiting in his office for ten minutes, and she was still banging down the door.
"Mashiro knows Kensei is in therrrree!" Mashiro called. "She can hear his breathing! She can hear him gritting his tee-eeth!" She continued.
Kensei sighed and opened his door, fixing Mashiro with his meanest, angriest glare.
"WHAT!? What do you want, Mashiro!?" Kensei demanded, hissing angrily at the unseated officer whose eyes were drawn to the scene. The officer stiffened and ran off.
"Mashiro wanted Kensei to…do that… With her again." She whispered, her eyes glazing over with lust as she leaned in to kiss Kensei, who shoved her away more violently than he had intended to.
Mashiro leapt back and was immediately back on top of Kensei.
"Come on, Kensei! You weren't like this last time…" Mashiro complained. Kensei sighed and pulled Mashiro into his office, locking the door and putting a Bakudo on it so that nobody could get in.
"Mashiro… You're right… I-I… Wanted it so badly last time… I still do. But I can't make that mistake again!"
"M-Mashiro was… A mistake?" Mashiro asked, seeming heartbroken at this exclamation from Kensei.
"Yes! No! I-I don't know! I… Wasn't supposed to lose control like that!"
"Ahahaha! Silly Kensei! Love isn't about being in control! It's about being happy!"
"Wow… That's the first thing you've said that made sense in… Well, 200 years."
"Waaah! Kensei, you big meanie!" Mashiro whined, embracing Kensei tightly and kissing him passionately on the lips, her hand immediately going down to his crotch.
"Ahaha! Kensei is so naughty! He's been hard all this time, hasn't he?" Mashiro asked, Kissing Kensei's penis through his pants, causing Kensei to twitch slightly. He pulled down his pants with one hand and grabbed Mashiro's head with the other, forcing his penis slowly into her mouth.
"Now, blow me… This was what you wanted, right?" Kensei growled. Mashiro nodded, tears caught between fear and joy coming to her eyes. As she bobbed her head up and down on his shaft, occasionally licking the tip, kissing it for good measure, all the while masturbating herself as she did it, moaning in ecstasy until he, shoving his penis partway down her throat, ejaculated, causing Mashiro to cough and gag. This woke Kensei up to what he had been doing.
"Mashiro-chan… I'm sorry…"
Mashiro-chan? When the hell have I ever called her that? I'm going soft in the head, without a doubt… Ugh, I know there's no retirement from this job, but I need a vacation.
"No… Th-that was… Amazing! Kensei-kun is so powerful… Keep dominating Mashiro." Mashiro gasped, her chest heaving, caught between catching her breath and the intense pleasure she was feeling.
So that was Mashiro's thing? As much as she liked being free to do what she wanted, as much as she was kind of scatterbrained and had her head in the clouds, she enjoyed being dominated? Everyone had their own thing. Who was Kensei to judge?
It just didn't seem like her. But he was sort of enjoying actually being obeyed by her for once.
"Stand up." Kensei demanded. Mashiro rushed to her feet, standing at attention, still masturbating vigorously, moaning and sighing in pleasure.
"Stop masturbating. Give me your hands." Kensei ordered, grabbing Mashiro's hand and pulling her over to the bed, pushing her onto the bed, standing in front of her.
"Good. Take off your clothes." Kensei said demandingly. Mashiro nodded, removing her gi and pants, and throwing them on the floor before removing her bra and panties as well, lying there naked for Kensei, waiting for him to ravage her as she had been fantasizing about for weeks, now.
The captain got on top of Mashiro, gently rubbing her, kissing her soft, pink lips. He had almost lost her twice in the past. Once when they were fighting that childish Arrancar… Well, even more childish than Mashiro, and once when they were fighting the Sternritter. He never wanted to lose her again.
"I love you, Mashiro…" Kensei whispered, gently prodding her pussy,
"A-ahh… Ahhh!" Mashiro cried as, on the final prod, Kensei released a concentrated burst of reishi, causing Mashiro to explode, screaming out her orgasm.
"Mmmm…" She moaned as she rode out the rest of it, gasping for breath.
"Oh, Kensei! That was… Amazing!" Mashiro moaned, her vision still swimming slightly. Kensei merely smirked though, staying on top of Mashiro.
"We're not done yet." Kensei growled, pulling his gi off and kissing Mashiro passionately, slowly pushing into her, groaning in unexpected pleasure at how tight she was, Mashiro breathing deeply, trying not to cum right away, her nails digging into Kensei's back, crying out in ecstasy with each thrust.
Kensei was feeling the same at the moment. It felt so incredible. He was wondering… Had he always been in love with Mashiro? As much as she annoyed him, as obnoxious as she could be, she never annoyed the rest of the Vizard like she annoyed him, or rather, her behaviour wasn't as annoying to them as it was to him. Maybe it was a sign that he should have taken long ago.
Kensei thrust slowly, wanting the moment to last as long as possible for both of them. Even the feeling of Mashiro's nails digging into his back was ecstatic. He thrust harder this time, releasing blasts of reishi unintentionally, only partially keeping control of his spiritual power to the point that the pressure in the room seemed to flux between very high and very low at points. Even people outside were beginning to notice, and get concerned about the captain's welfare.
Finally, Kensei couldn't hold it anymore, grunting as he thrust a few more times, releasing inside of Mashiro, whose own orgasm, if anything, was even more intense as the lieutenant screamed out, her fingers digging into Kensei's back, drawing blood. Finally, Kensei pulled out, breathing heavily for a few moments before catching his breath. Upon coming back to himself, he started realizing that he was feeling a bit cold. He had used up more reishi than he had intended.
Rather than releasing occasional bursts to enhance Mashiro's experience as well as his own, he seemed to have been blasting reishi almost constantly. Now, he needed rest badly, collapsing next to Mashiro, his last waking thought being to make sure that he didn't crush Mashiro underneath him as he fell asleep. Mashiro smiled happily, pulling the blankets up over them, and rolling over, falling asleep in her beloved's arms.
"Hey, has anyone seen the captain recently?" A young member of Ninth Division asked. The other member shook her head.
"No. Or his lieutenant. The way they always bicker, they might have killed each other, though." She mentioned. The two laughed, and went about their business.
"Hey… Have either of you seen Mashiro… Um, Lieutenant Kuna?"
"No, sir. We were sort of wondering where they were as well."
"It's not a problem. I need to see her to ask about whether she planned to train with Karin today. I can get someone else to instead, probably." Ichigo said, heading out. He could train with her, himself. He didn't have anything else to do that day.
Karin was feeling better, and she wanted to start training again. Ichigo was actually kind of glad that Mashiro wasn't around. He felt almost certain that Mashiro had no ability to limit her strength. He was sure that, as lithe and acrobatic as Karin was, she would get hurt in her weakened state against a foe like Mashiro. So he headed to the school, grabbing a bokken and a wakizashi bokken, heading to Karin's dorm.
"Hey, Karin. Oh… Um… Um…" Ichigo said, snapping his fingers, trying to remember the new girl's name. "Crap. Himura-san… Damn, I'm usually pretty good with names. Is Karin here?"
"Captain Kurosaki-dono…" She said, bowing politely, grabbing at her glasses, barely catching them before they slipped off her nose. Ichigo sighed. He had noticed this in the past.
"Here, Himura-san." Ichigo said, handing Himura a string with rubber hooks on the ends.
"Please, call me Alice. What is this?" The girl said in a distinctly English accent. If she was faking it, it was an excellent imitation. Ichigo had only heard an English accent once in his life when a person from London came to teach English at his middle school, and Alice sounded just as authentic.
"It's a rope to hook on the ends of your glasses. That way they won't hit the floor if they fall off your face, as they seem to do fairly often."
"Oh! Thank you, Captain Kurosaki-dono! This is really nice.
"So this'll stop my glasses from falling?"
"Yeah… Oh, and don't call me –dono. Do you know where Karin is?"
"Yeah. She said she went down to the dojo. Why do you ask, Captain?" Alice asked. Ichigo turned and started heading down.
"I promised I'd spar with her today." He said, just as he got out of hearing range.
"Hm… They're such great siblings. I'm actually kind of jealous." Alice said happily as Ichigo went into Flash Step speed, getting down to the dojo and finding that he must have passed Karin on the way, because moments later, Karin walked in.
"Hey, Ichi-nii. Did you find Lieutenant Kuna?"
"No. I looked all over the place, and went to the Division Nine barracks. She wasn't in any of the places I looked, so I'm going to be your partner today." Ichigo said. Karin seemed excited about this, grabbing her bokken and going into a ready stance to fight Ichigo. Ichigo put the wakizashi away. He didn't want to overwhelm Karin, especially when she was still convalescing. He stood at the ready, too, waiting for Karin to attack.
For a moment, the two of them stood there, sizing each other up. After a moment, though, Karin slashed the air, sending a blast of pressure at Ichigo, who dodged, and blocked Karin's next strike as she closed on him, jumping and pushing off her hand, spinning upside down in the air and swinging at Ichigo. He dodged under the next strike and thrust with his hand, striking Karin in the stomach, hard enough to send her flying but lightly enough to not harm her unduly.
Karin twisted midair and slid across the room, righting herself and preparing to fight again. She was beginning to get out of breath, though. She ran at Ichigo, seeming to disappear mid-charge, and appeared behind Ichigo, who spun and blocked, pushing back with his sword and pushing Karin away. This time, she wasn't able to right herself, attempting, but tripping over her own legs and falling on the ground.
"Karin! Are you alright?" Ichigo asked, hurrying over to her.
"I'm fine!" Karin snapped. "Stop taking it easy on me, damnit!"
"Karin, you shouldn't be sparring at all! Kinoshita said to take it easy for two weeks! It hasn't even been one! I shouldn't have agreed to spar with you. Listen, Karin… I admire your passion and your drive.
"I did what you're doing right now a lot. I refused to wait and heal before I started training again. I fought battles that I knew I couldn't win, and would most likely die in. But… Well…"
"You're going to tell me that I don't have the same expectations on me as you did. That you needed to save lives and fight for the fate of worlds, and that I'm just going to hurt myself for nothing, right?"
"No. I won't tell you to stop training. I won't even force you to go back to your room and see you into bed. I know I can't convince you to stop. I know because you're just like me. If I wouldn't have stopped training, why should I think that you will? But I'm not going to encourage it. You'll have to train on your own or find someone else to train with you." Ichigo said. He wasn't angry, nor was he being condescending or at least not intending to be.
"Just firm. He knew that their father would never forgive him if he allowed his sister to get hurt on his watch. He also wouldn't forgive himself.
"Ichi-nii… I-I guess I'll just go get some rest, then. If I got hurt, I'd have to take more time off from training." Karin said, seeming upset. Ichigo put a hand on Karin's shoulder, hugging her tightly. Karin gasped. He was never this affectionate, especially in public.
"Karin… I think you made the right choice. I can take you back up to your room if you like." Ichigo said. Karin sighed.
"Thanks." She said putting her sword away and heading out. Ichigo threw his back and followed her back up to the room, where she opened the door and headed in with Ichigo.
"Karin, this room is a mess! Is this stuff yours?"
"Um, no, Captain Kurosaki… Most of it is mine. Kurosaki-san is actually surprisingly tidy." Alice said politely. Ichigo sighed.
"Well, see you two later, then. Karin, I hope you feel better soon… Himura-san, nice to see you again." Ichigo said, walking out of the room.
"Kurosaki-san… Your brother is very handsome."
"God, don't remind me…" Karin muttered helplessly, flopping down on her bed, groaning.
"Kurosaki-san, are you… By any chance… In love with your brother?" Alice asked, sitting down and writing furiously, handing Karin a sheet of paper.
"What the hell is this?"
"A plan to win your brother's heart. Incest isn't my thing, she said quietly. "But it's not my place to judge." She said in her pleasant English accent. Karin shook her head, ripping up the page.
"It's brilliant. It takes everything into account."
"But… You can't bring yourself to do it?" Alice asked. Karin nodded. "Rukia and Ichigo are really happy together, and I'm happy with Toshiro. Ichi-nii may have been my first love, but Toshiro is really nice, and although he's a little bit grumpy, and super serious, he's really kind. Back when I was a human, he took time out of his schedule to help me win a silly little soccer game. He didn't have to. But he saw me get hurt, and wanted to help.
"And, well… He's a really good person. I like him… As important as Ichi-nii is to me, I need to get past my infatuation with him."
"Oh, you needn't convince me. I respect your decision. Besides, my 'plan' was all a lot of hot air. If you had paid attention to it in anything more than a passing respect, you would have realized that while it passes rudimentary inspection, it fails the most basic tests of practicality.
"It's simply far too convoluted to be implementable by simple academy students with no real contacts outside the ones you may have as a result of your brother's position." Alice said with a proud smirk. Karin actually laughed at this.
"You were just testing me, weren't you?" The young Shinigami to be asked. Alice looked at Karin innocently, shaking her head.
"No, no… Well, in a way… Perhaps a little bit. I trusted you to make the right decision. I wanted simply to see if you were worthy of that trust." Alice replied.
"But your brother probably brought you up here so you could get some rest.
"You did run dangerously low on reishi less than a week ago. Get some sleep. I'll head on out for a while. See you later, Kurosaki-san…" Alice said cheerfully, putting on her sandals and running out of the room, locking the door behind her. Karin sighed in relief.
She fell down on her bed, pulling up the covers and falling asleep almost immediately, taking a long nap.
