Intense confusion was all that Ulqui could feel as he looked down at his demon who was tucked away under the blankets of his bed. Murciel was tiny, in a body younger than his own now, his haunting eyes still closed tight as he reposed easily. Grimmjow and Pantera were already gone after having helped to carry the demon home after they'd rescued him…
"M-Master?" Murcielago uttered. His voice was youthful, and with a submissive softness that took Ulqui off guard. The demon struggled into an upright position, reaching out to Ulqui with that unfamiliar hand. He grasped Ulqui's sleeve and Ulqui helped him move closer, tugging the smaller form almost into his lap. "Master, you came~" He went limp then, passing out in Ulquiorra's arms.
Everyone was silent for a long time.
"Hmm…" the shopkeeper broke the silence. "How interesting."
Ulqui clutched his demon closer. "What have you done?"
The blond lifted his hands in a placating manner. "This was not my intention when I bound him; he was only supposed to be restrained while I studied him, not weakened to such a degree as to harm him like this." He flicked out a fan he'd had hidden in his sleeve and used it to shield the lower half of his face. "As it stands, this is a very unforeseen phenomenon."
Pantera grinned. "Unforeseen or not, if I take the Quattro out now, I'll move up in ranks." He took a step forward.
"Don't even think about it!" Grimmjow got in front of his advancing demon. "You're not allowed to take him out, Pantera. That's an order!"
Pantera sneered. "Who are you to get in the way of my progress as a Demon Lord?"
"Your Master!"
The beast of a demon made a face as if he'd forgotten about that. "But-"
"No! Besides taking him out after someone else did all the work of weakening him is underhanded and cowardly. I will not tolerate a cowardly demon, Pantera." He blindly pointed to Murciel behind him. "Now, help carry him home."
Pantera growled, but ceased his protest, and went to grab up Murciel from Ulqui's arms. "Fine. Let's get the bat back to his den."
"Master?"
Ulqui blinked and looked down at Murcielago.
Murciel grunted softly as he sat upright and shoved his blankets away, taking in his new form for the first time. "To have weakened this much… Ah." He gripped his throat. "My voice."
Ulqui swallowed. "Will… Will you be okay?"
"Hmm." He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, in thought or concentration Ulqui wasn't sure which, and was quiet for a moment. "Yes… but it'll be a while. Um… Master?"
"What?"
His lips trembled as he tried to get out his next words. "As I am now… you have complete control over me…"
Ulqui gasped.
"Will you… send me away and dissolve our contract?"
Silence reigned for a few moments.
"Do you… want me to?"
"Of course not!"
The teenager jumped at his outburst.
"I stayed all this time after all, didn't I? I could've gone home anytime I wanted to, but I stayed. I like it here, and I like you, Master. So, please don't send me away!"
Ulquiorra stared. This was his chance to be rid of the demon. A demon who raped and fed from him many times, including just the night before. Did he really want Fourth Demon Lord Murcielago around?
"I… won't"
The smile the little demon formed was honestly too much. "Really?!" He threw himself at Ulqui. "Thank you, Master! Ah!" He went limp just as he left the mattress and fell heavily into Ulqui's arms. The human was dragged to the floor by the demon's meager weight. "Forgive me, I didn't quite realize how weak I was until then."
Ulqui sighed. "Do you need to feed again?"
Murciel tensed and eased away as best as he could. "N-No… I can't. I fed from you two days ago, and then I got greedy and fed again last night. Oh…" He nibbled his lower lip, his fangs not piercing his soft-looking lips. "And then I mistreated you… with Pantera."
"Yeah." Ulqui helped Murciel back into bed. "I'm still pissed about that."
He nodded. "And you have every right to be." His eyes began to droop.
"Hey, don't fall back asleep yet, we need to figure some stuff out first."
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm just so weak…"
Ulqui huffed and pulled back the sleeve of the jacket he was still wearing. "Here, drink."
His gold on green eyes popped open once more. "I can't."
"Yes, you can."
"But I've already taken so much."
"Murcie, feed."
The demon gasped and flinched as if something just clicked. His slim hand shook as he reached for the wrist being offered. He brought it to his mouth and sunk his fangs into the soft flesh. He sighed blissfully and his eyes slipped closed.
Ulqui let the demon feed for a few seconds before he spoke again. "That's enough."
Murcie let go with another gasp.
Ulquiorra studied the healing wound on his wrist. "Did I make you do that?"
Murciel nodded solemnly, his gaze diverted.
That was all he needed to know.
"Scoot over a bit." Ulquiorra settled on the mattress next to him, and rested back against the pillows. "So now that you're weakened, what are you still able to do?" He toed off his sneakers and kicked them to the floor.
With a fresh batch of Ulqui's blood in him, the demon was able to sit up without a struggle. He was very much awake now, his eyes bright and focused on his human master, his posture straight in the cross-legged pose he was in. "Not much I fear. My transformation skills are limited, though I should still be able to assume my kitten form. I can't manipulate sound anymore; you know when I soundproof rooms?" he clarified when Ulqui gave him a look. "I have a natural guise that keeps me hidden from humans, but the Shinigami may be able to see me now since they're spiritually aware. I'm not sure. Oh, my flight speed will be hampered since my wings are so much smaller, and all of my senses are maybe a third as good as before, still better than a human's senses, but still…" He ducked his head and gazed up at Ulqui through his bangs. "Master… until I'm strong again, will you protect me?"
"Uh… yeah… I'm mean, I'll try."
Murcielago smiled again, softening his boyish face into something even younger. "Thank you, Master."
Ulqui looked away. "I can't help but feel like you're still manipulating me even though I can control you now…"
"Well, I am a demon. Manipulation is woven into our genes, but I promise, you," he scooted closer and rested his cheek on Ulqui's shoulder, "I'm being quite genuine right now. I'm glad I'm your demon. Oh!"
"What?"
"I won't be able to bathe you know…" He sounded quite crestfallen at that.
"Does it really mean that much to you?"
"Yeah. Not only is it my duty, but I really like to. I can't do it with how weak I am right now."
Ulqui huffed out a heavy sigh. "We can take baths together… I suppose…"
"Yay!"
x~x
The rest of the weekend proved to be rather quiet, and passed quickly. That changed when on the way to school that following Monday.
"So you were hiding a demon!"
Ulqui lifted his head so his hair and hood wasn't obstructing his view. Rukia stood before him and the other Shinigami in tow. Ulqui took a peek at Murcielago over his shoulder. The little demon was hanging back a few paces, his shorter legs hampering him just a bit. He was only able to summon a simple decorated skirt that hung low and went to maybe mid-thigh on him, the rest of his pale skin was on display, and his feet were uncovered, but that was hardly bothersome for the weakened demon. His collar was wrapped snuggly around his throat to complete his odd look.
"They can see you now?"
Murciel nodded. "It seems so. Just as I feared." He sighed. "Should I return home so I can't cause any problems for you?"
"You will go nowhere, demon." It was the long-haired one who spoke.
Ulqui sighed and looked back at the black-clothed figures. "You may as well leave us alone," he murmured. "You cannot hurt him. Besides, he's harmless."
"Demons are not harmless," Rukia said. "They are abominations that cannot be allowed to roam the human or spiritual realm."
Ulqui just sighed and began walking towards them. "I don't care; I'm going to school. Come on, Murcie, you don't have to go home because of these guys."
"Don't ignore our judgement!"
The teen had long since put his head back down, and had stopped paying attention to who was speaking, so he didn't notice one of the Shinigami break rank and rush for him, sword drawn.
"Master!" Murciel jumped in front of Ulqui just as the Shinigami brought his sword down in a deadly arc. He brought his hands together, easily catching the blade. The Shinigami gave an angry shout just before Murciel gave a twist and snapped the blade in half.
"Waagh!" He stumbled back and goggled at his sword. "Damn you!"
Murciel cocked a slim hip and placed a fist on it. "Listen here, Shinigami." He began to transform then, his short horns slipping past his dark locks, and his tail growing out of his spine. "My Master is just a human that I'm contracted to. I can do nothing that goes against his wishes, and you cannot harm me, so you may as well save yourself the trouble and leave us be." His wings grew out with a thunderous crack and he lifted into the air before grasping Ulqui under his armpits . "We'll be going to school now, good day to you."
Ulquiorra couldn't help the undignified yelp that escaped him as he was yanked into the air, none too gently, and then dragged through the sky, lack the grace and altitude Murcielago was usually able to achieve before his unfortunate weakening. They made it to maybe half a block away from the school before Murcie had to put his master down. He landed as well, and fell to his knees, panting deeply.
"That took up so much more energy than I'm used to…"
"Do you have enough energy to turn into a cat?"
Murciel nodded and morphed into the cute kitten everyone would recognize, and Ulqui picked him up and put him in his hood, behind his neck, before heading the rest of the way to school.
x~x
"Ah! You brought him again!" Orihime was more than ecstatic to see Murcie at lunchtime.
"Mew…"
"Oh, Ulqui, he doesn't sound too good."
"He might be sick," he muttered. "I'm keeping him close."
"Aw. You take such good care of him." She brought up the usual, big bento box and set it on the desk. "Here, trade. I'll take care of Murcie for a bit while you eat."
Ulqui nodded and slipped the weak demon-kitty from his hood. Orihime took him in her gentle hands and brought him close to cradle his little furry body against her breasts.
"Aw, ish okay widdle Murcie, I'll take good care of you." Her baby talk was downright obnoxious, but at the same time endearing because it was Orihime.
Ulqui opened the bento to dine on the strange meal of twice fried and twice baked sweet crab cakes, a squid ink creamed vegetable medley, bamboo rice and a curry carrot cake. Yum. Orihime settled Murcie in the crook of her arm and began to dine as well. Their relatively quiet meal didn't last very long, however.
"Don't touch that!"
Orihime gasped and whipped around to look at the speaker. "Rukia? What's wrong?"
"That cat! That's what's wrong!"
"Hmm? But it's just little Murcie. Ulqui brings him to school from time to time." The orangette held the black and white kitten up. "Besides look at him. He's not feeling good."
Rukia, however, would not be swayed, now knowing that the harmless-looking cat was the demon they'd been hunting for. "Sick or not, cats shouldn't even be in the school. I demand that you put it outside."
"No way!" Orihime cried. "Ulqui, tell her no!"
The teenager only huffed and set down his chopsticks. He held his hand out for Murciel. Orihime whined, but didn't fight as she handed the kitten over. The look Rukia wore was smug yet determined, but that changed when Ulqui only stuck the furry demon back in his hiding place in his hood, and went back to eating.
The orangette smiled. "Oh, here, I have a spoon for the creamed vegetables."
Ulqui took the utensil being offered to him and took a bite of the strange side dish. "Mm…" was his response.
Orihime clapped. "I'm glad you like it!"
"That is not what I meant!" Rukia hollered. "Get that thing out of here!"
Orihime frowned at her tone, but Ulqui just kept eating. "Why are you being so mean today, Rukia?" she asked. "Just the other day, you couldn't wait to meet little Murcie."
"That was before. Animals do not belong in school."
"Pfft," Murciel scoffed in the teen's head.
The teacher walked in then. "Class is starting get to your seats."
There were groans and squeaks of chairs and desks being moved back into their proper places.
Orihime checked the watch on her wrist. "How did 30 minutes go by so fast?" She sighed and began to pack up what was left, leaving out the cake and a small plastic fork. "Here, gobble this up. I made sure to add extra curry!" She wrapped up her bento and stood, but Rukia was still standing there, in her way. "Excuse me, Rukia."
The black haired girl stepped out of the way without a word, and Orihime headed towards her seat. "I hope you're in a better mood later."
Rukia was still silent, her gaze icy as she glared at Ulquiorra. Ulqui just gobbled up the cake and a few quick bites and stashed the fork and the little paper plate it'd come on in his desk to be thrown away later. He hummed as he licked away stray crumbs from his lips. The cake had been tasty.
"Ms. Rukia, please find your seat."
Ulqui lifted his head the minimum amount to see the girl still standing next to him. "This isn't over," she muttered and stormed away. Ulqui watched her retreating back.
Murciel scoffed again. "With Shinigami, it's never over…"
b~~~d
I practically fell out of my kitten form the moment my master reached his room. His arms wrapped around me as I tipped forward, and stopped me from falling to my knees. "Hmm?" He'd said something but I hadn't heard him.
Ulquiorra didn't repeat himself, he just helped me to the bed and laid me down. I fell face first into the pillow with my legs dangling off, and his warm hands gripped my ankles to swing them up onto the mattress. He tried to roll me over.
"I'm fine like this master."
"Oh… okay." His hands left me, but his presence remained at my side. I felt warm. "Go and do your homework, Master, I'll just take a nap."
"Okay…" His presence left me, but I still felt warm. It wasn't a disconcerting warmth, so I didn't pay it any mind, and slipped into blessed darkness.
A dream?
It's been a while since I dreamt last.
Years…
Decades…
At least, it seemed, I had control over this one. I can shape it into whatever I want.
I dreamt I was big again. My form formidable, my wings wide, my horns threatening. My Master under me, weak to my advances. My strength.
He writhed for more, while begging for less in that cute contradicting way. The energy from taking his body enlivened me as much as his blood. Maybe more since he was my master. The one my contract is bound to. More. I needed more.
More of his blood.
More of his seed.
More of his screams.
His mewls.
His moans.
Something changed, and suddenly I was underneath my master. I was still big, still strong, but now it was him thrusting into me. Making me moan his name and curl my clawed toes. I still felt energy pouring into me, but the feeling was overpowered by pleasure. Why didn't I do this more often?
I gasped as I awoke, unaware of how much time had passed. I turned my head to face Ulqui's desk. He was still there, playing Solitaire now. I wondered if he actually did his homework.
A hardness against my stomach drew my attention, and I shifted my hips, feeling my erection a little clearer, as well as a slight wet patch near the head. I hadn't come, but oh how I was close. With just a thought, my slip of a skirt was gone, and I was bare but for the collar I'd grown so fond of. In the past, when certain contractors had collared me with metal or even ornate necklaces, I'd felt nothing but distaste, but this collar was different.
I called to him, but my voice was too soft, and roughed by sleep; he didn't hear me. I tried again.
"Master?"
"Huh?" Ulqui moved another card on the computer before turning. "You're awake?" He stood and walked over. "Are you alright? You've been asleep for two days."
Two days? My dream didn't seem nearly long enough for that. I feel rather cheated.
"When did your skirt disappear?"
The remark reminded me of my current predicament, and I widened my legs a little. "Master. Fuck me."
The human jumped. "Wh-What?"
"I feel so weak. Fuck me and give me energy."
Ulqui stammered, and looked as if he would outright refuse, but seemed to think again. Red filled his cheeks and he looked down. His cheeks looked a little gaunt. Once I was big again, I'd be able to order him to eat regularly again. But for now…
"Can it wait until everyone's gone...?"
"Anything you want, Master. Thank you."
"Yeah…" He turned and went back to his game.
I glanced at the alarm clock then. If Latigo was already gone then it would be maybe thirty minutes before Solita would leave as well. That is… if she went out on her usual errands and whatnot, sometimes she strayed from her schedule. I wondered, then, if I could still "nudge" her.
I'll try, but first…
My tail was whisper soft as I dragged it up my leg and danced it along my spine up to my face. I took the pointed tip into my mouth and began to suck on it. It didn't feel like much. Maybe the sensation could be akin to sucking on one's finger. Once I'd soaked it properly, I danced it back down and teased myself with it.
I flinched at first, unused to feeling anything at my anus, but I widened my stance and proceeded to prepare myself; my inexperienced master wouldn't know how to do it, so my comfort was up to myself. I widened my legs more and pushed the tip inside. It burned at first, and I pulled away. I brought my tail up to soak it some more.
After a third soaking, I was able to get it inside. I sighed at the breach, and gasped when I found my prostate. "Oh~"
Ulqui turned. "Murcie? What are you doing?!"
I grazed my prostate again and clenched my thighs together. "Preparing myself for you, Master."
"You… you don't…"
"Hm~ Did you want to do it?" I pulled out and danced my tail tip along the cleft of my rear; it tickled.
"N-No! I just… Why are you doing that right now?"
"So that I can be ready when your mother leaves."
As if on cue:
"Ulqui! I'm heading out! I'll be home for dinner, so don't worry!"
"Okay, ma," Ulqui said back, his tone distracted.
The door slammed shut moments later.
"She's gone," I said. "Will you still fuck me?"
I saw my master's throat bob at that. "It'll… help you?"
"Yes, very much so." I brought my tail back down and teased my hole. It was still pliant from my ministrations, but not nearly as wet as I'd like. "Master, could I persuade you to lick me?"
He went pale and then red. "No, that's gross!"
I widened my legs. "Not even a little?"
Ulqui shook his head vigorously.
"I didn't think so…" I moved my tail and poked my rear up a little in invitation. I wiggled it when he remained rooted to his spot. "Mount me, Master?"
"Uh… yeah…" He removed his clothes and climbed onto the bed, but not before I saw the ruddy erection he sported. I was glad I still enticed him even in this form. "Wait." I struggled to roll onto my back. "Come closer, I'll suck you."
More adorable redness. "What? Why?"
"You won't lick me, so I have to suck you to get you wet enough to fuck me."
Ulqui diverted his eyes, and crawled up my body until I could reach his member and wrap my mouth around it. He gasped as I licked it and mouthed his glands. The taste of precum filled my mouth quickly. Very soon, he was trembling and I was sure he was ready to mount me. I patted his thighs to make him move away, and rolled back onto my stomach. I settled and relaxed my body to accept him for when he would work up the nerve to enter me.
It was quiet for a while, and still as well. I could only hear his breaths and his quick heartbeat. A tentative hand brushed my hip before settling there, gripping it with the gentlest of pressures. I felt a tremble from the hand.
My master was so very nervous.
I felt a nudge at my entrance.
Master swallowed and pressed.
"A little harder, Master," I urged softly, "or you won't breach me."
"Right." His voice sounded so small. I pushed out as he pushed this time, and he managed to get his head in with a small gasp. "Tight."
I smirked at the comment. "Don't stop now. Get inside me all the way. Shallow thrusts."
He was quiet as he followed my directions, thrusting deeper and deeper until he was thrusting in full. He was already moaning softly.
I didn't feel much, the boy's cock only massaging my anal walls and missing my prostate, but it didn't hurt so I just relaxed and enjoyed the inexperienced rutting.
He slowed suddenly, and his thrusts became calculated and questing. I couldn't help my smirk growing wider. I arched my back and lifted my rear more, leaving my chest to rest against the bed. "A little lower, master."
He stiffened at my sudden instruction, but followed it after a moment.
"Deeper."
He changed his thrusts again.
"Getting closer."
The next thrust pegged my prostate and my entire body jerked. "Ah!"
Ulqui stopped. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, yes. You found my prostate, Master. Please hit it again."
Ulqui was hesitant, but thrusted again.
"Ah! Yes, there, Master. There!"
He picked up a rhythm with his thrusts, hitting that delicious bundle of nerves almost every time. My cock reached full mast under his ministrations, leaking pre on the blanket, the head turning rosy. I moaned and trembled every time now. When his hips connected with my rear. When his balls slapped mine. When he-
"Aah-AAH!" I couldn't stop my enraptured cry when he reached around and grabbed my member. "M-Master, what…?"
I was short enough, now, that when my master came to rest against my back, his head ended up next to my cheek. He breathed warm puffs of air against my already heated flesh. "Sorry, I've never been on the working end of these situations." He continued to thrust, but they were shallow, grinding movements.
"Tired already?" I gasped out my tease as he thumbed my slit. Apparently, he'd been paying attention to all the times I'd played with his body. "I'll – nn!- I'll have to let you be more active in our coupling once I'm at full strength again." His other hand left my hip to roll my testicles. "Ngh!" My thighs trembled, and every part of me seemed to tingle; close, I was so close. "Master! Ah! I'm c-!" I couldn't get the words out before I came. My cock spat out thick streams of cream on the dark-colored sheets while desperately thrusting back against my master's length, He took the hint and lifted off my back, gripping my hips and taking up a brutal pace that kept pegging my pleasure spot each time and prolonged my orgasm. Tears sprang my eyes and my shouts dissolved into jumbled babbles.
When my orgasm finally stopped, Ulqui was still thrusting. I was sensitized after my released, to the point of feeling pain rather than pleasure from his thrusts, but I dare not say anything. My master's thrusts lacked rhythm now, sloppy as he reached his own apex.
"Ngh. Ah! Murcie!" He slammed into me one last time, and shuddered his release.
I felt it the moment it hit me. Power. Raw power dripping in sexual energy. Almost as potent as my master's blood, but it made up for what it lacked with his quantity. Usually his semen gave me a slight buzz, but weakened as I was, I was thrown into blissful drunkenness.
A dry orgasm shook me to my very foundations, stealing my voice, and making me fall limp once it passed.
We fell into a blissful heap, panting heavily. Sweat slid down our skin, and our faces were close enough to breathe in each other's exhales. When I managed to catch my breath, I leaned forward and kissed him on the nose. "That was wonderful, Master."
His eyes were closed, but he grunted and moved to get off me.
"Where are you going?" I asked, a little disheartened, as he slipped from the bed.
"I need a rag… to wipe-up with."
Aw, my winded master was even going to do aftercare. I felt quite revitalized after taking in his essence, and I could've cleaned myself, but letting him clean me would be so much better, so I remained limp on the bed and waited for his return.
He returned shortly, his groin damp from cleaning himself in the bathroom before coming to me. He kneeled on the bed next to me, and wiped me down.
"Thank you, master."
"Mm hm," he mumbled, a post-coital lethargy falling over him as he dropped the soiled rag on the floor and climbed into the bed again.
I chuckled and raked my fingers through his sweat damp hair; I wished that I could bathe him.
Once he fell into his dreams, I got up to put away the rag.
b~~~d
"You're bigger," Ulqui found himself murmuring as he and Murciel showered the next morning.
"Am I?" the demon asked and lifted his head.
Sure enough, Ulqui was looking the boy-shaped demon in the eyes, rather than down at him. "Yeah."
A smile took over Murciel's face. "Absorbing some of your power through your seed seems to have helped!"
Ulqui took a moment to rinse his hair. "So… you'll want to do this again, huh?"
"If it pleases you, Master, then yes," Murciel said and ran a soapy rag over the other's chest.
Ulqui made a face.
"Master, if you don't mind, could I go with you to school today?"
"Sure, Orihime was wondering about you."
x~x
"Murcie~!" the oranget cheered when Ulqui got to his seat, boldly holding the kitten-shaped demon in his arms, rather than hidden in his hood. He took a seat and handed the demon over to the overjoyed girl who immediately crushed him to her chest. "There you are cutie! I was worried about you these last few days." She grinned at Ulqui. "You're such a great pet owner."
Ulqui just looked down.
Orihime giggled.
The day was normal, and the lunch delicious. Rukia only glared at him every chance she got. The week continued like that until Friday when a new cat walked into the classroom during lunch.
"Oh, a white cat!" Orihime exclaimed.
"Is that one yours too, Ulqui?" Chizuru asked.
Ulqui took a bite of rice and looked up to see the new cat. He immediately knew it was Pantera with its snow-white fur and golden eyes. He strutted over to the teen's desk and hopped up on his lap, and then onto the desktop to sniff at the food. He turned his nose up at the meal and wandered over to Murciel who was still in Orihime's arms. He meowed at the demon kitten. The girls awed.
"There he is."
They looked up once more as Grimmjow entered and walked over to them. Tatsuki stood in defense.
"I swear, if you're here to mess with Ulqui-!"
He sneered at her. "Sit the fuck down, I ain't here to mess with no one; I'm just here for my cat." The bluenet bumped by here and went to the pale teen's side. He grinned and shoved back Ulqui's hood to muss up his hair. Ulqui flailed at him before replacing his hood.
"I thought you said-!"
"Would you chill out?" Grimm said before grabbing up the white cat that'd been in the midst of licking the kitten's face.
"Oh, wait," Orihime implored. "Snowball was cleaning Murcie."
Grimmjow made a face. "Snowball? Don't just go naming other people's pets; his name is Pantera."
The orangette pouted but then smiled. "That's a cute name too."
Grimm shot her one of his signature cocky grins. "Not as cute as you."
The oranget blushed and diverted her eyes with a small smile. Tatsuki scoffed.
Grimmjow looked back to Ulqui. "I'm coming over today; just a heads up." He shot another grin at Orihime before turning and leaving. "See ya later."
Ulqui only sighed through his nose and went back to eating.
x~x
Grimmjow showed up at his house maybe an hour minutes after him, lugging a small plastic bag. Solita greeted him cheerfully with a peck on the cheek and shooed him off towards Ulqui's room, promising to make a little more for dinner for him, and warning him not to spoil it.
The bluenet was grinning widely as he came up the stairs. "Sup."
The pale teen only grunted, too focused on the card game on his computer screen. He jumped and lost that focus when Grimmjow dropped the bag on the desk next to him.
"I said, 'Sup.'"
Ulqui looked up at him through his dark hair, and still said nothing.
With Ulqui's attention, Grimm continued on, stooping over to set down his bag and unzip it. "So, Pantera told me something interesting today." The white cat hopped out of his backpack and quickly morphed into his humanoid demon form.
"I'll tell him," Pantera rumbled, his gaze lock on to the bat demon who was once again snoozing on the bed.
"Go ahead," he conceded as he pulled out a pre-packaged snack cake and proceeded to spoil his dinner.
The panther demon slinked over to Murcielago and mounted the bed, and straddled the small male. "I can help him regain his strength faster."
That had the emo's attention, and he swiveled his chair to face him. "How?"
"I could fuck him."
Ulqui made a face, scoffed and turned back to his game. "Get your horny demon out of here, Grimmjow…"
Mouth full of processed cakey goodness, Grimm said, "No, no, hear him out."
He sighed and took his hand off the mouse, and crossed his arms.
Pantera supported his head on a fist and carded the fingers of his free hand through the sleeping demon's hair. Murciel sighed, and Pantera spoke. "Murciel is one of the few demon lords who draw power from fluids: blood and semen to be specific. They have specific energies to them, and I believe he draws more from blood, but it all works the same in that it keeps him strong and healthy. Human fluids are all fine and well, but nothing is better than the fluids of a fell demon lord."
"And you are willing to help him?" Ulqui asked incredulously.
The albino panther nodded. "Mm hm?"
"What happened to trying to take advantage of his weakened state?" he asked, referring to when they'd first discovered Murcielago in his new form.
Pantera shrugged. "Grimmjow was right. Taking him out now when I had no hand in weakening him would be cowardly, and I am no coward."
Grimmjow grinned, the last of his snack cake making his cheeks bulge.
"So, I will help him get back to full strength, and then I'll take him out and move up in ranks."
Ulqui nodded. "Can't you just give him your blood then?"
He carded his fingers through Murciel's hair again. "I plan to give him my blood as well as fuck him."
"And what do you want in return?"
"I believe you humans call it an 'IOU'?"
"With me or him?"
"Him of course."
Ulqui couldn't help but be skeptical. "And that's all you want?"
"Don't underestimate the power of a favor. It's almost a currency for us." He grinned a decidedly cruel smile.
Ulqui sighed and turned back to his virtual card game. "You'll have to wait until he wakes up and ask him."
He got up from the bed. "Then I'll just take him."
"Take him?"
"Yes, there's no way he'll say no, so I'll just take him somewhere more private now."
"Then why did you bother asking me?"
Pantera jerked his chin in Grimmjow's direction. "He told me to. I honestly just wanted to take Murcielago away without a word when he commanded me to help him."
Grimmjow shrugged as he gazed consideringly at another packaged cake. "I figured you'd freak out with his way."
Ulqui didn't say anything; it was true though. He remained quiet as the albino demon picked Murciel up in a bridal carry and headed for the window. What was it with demons and windows?
"I'll bring him back in the morning," Pantera said before slipping out.
b~~~d
I quickly realized I wasn't in my Master's bed as I roused and all of the little alarms went off in my head as I tried to figure out not just where I was, but how I'd gotten there.
"I know you're awake. Your heartbeat changed."
I relaxed slightly and opened my eyes upon hearing Pantera's voice. I sat up and looked around and found that I was lying on the grassy floor of a forest, probably the one behind Grimmjow's domicile. It was dark making the world appear to be shades of deep blue to me. A slight breeze blew through, ruffling my hair. "Why are we here?"
The beast demon who'd been lounging on a fallen tree gracefully got to his feet and removed the long loincloth he was wearing, proudly displaying a burgeoning erection. "Were going to fuck."
"Wh-What?" I managed to scuttle back a few feet before the larger demon was upon me, capturing my ankle and dragging me back, undoing the distance I'd managed to frantically put between us. I ended up back on my back, my legs spread wide and Pantera kneeling between them. I pushed at his chest. "Wait! What's brought this on?"
Pantera grabbed me around the neck and pinned me to the ground, a dangerous and hungry leer in his eyes. "It's hardly been a week and that boy has me on edge. How he challenges me, so ignorant of just how out of his league he is. I long to put him in his place."
I gripped at the hand around my neck which had tightened uncomfortably. "Then why don't you?"
Pantera glared. "His father."
I made a face.
"The little blue-haired bastard failed to mention that his father is an ex-demon slayer, from a long line of demon slayers."
"Ah yes, he did mention that his father hunted demons at some point, I didn't know he'd been an actual demon slayer though."
Pantera nodded, his teeth gritted in frustration. "So not only can that man see me, but he can ward against me."
My eyebrows arched.
"He's warded the house against me, with the strongest wards being on my human's bedroom. Grimmjow can of course break these, but not when his father will just put them back." He huffed and jammed his nose into the side of my neck before licking a hot stripe up it. "I have to wait until that annoying seed-donor is gone before I can finally have my human." As he spoke into my throat, his hands roamed along my sides and legs. "I want to reveal his powerlessness to him and begin taming him into the perfect pet, but I have to wait, and patience has never been a strong point of mine."
"Don't I know it?" I moaned as his hand strayed to my entrance and tickled it with a careful claw. "And you wish to exploit my current weak state to release some frustration?"
"Yes, it just so happened that this will help you too. Scratch my back, scratch yours and all that."
"Very well then," I pushed at his shoulders, and he rose up to loom over me, "start scratching."
b~~~d
Ulquiorra turned when the window suddenly slammed open behind him, and Pantera climbed in cradling a still-small, whimpering and trembling Murciel to his chest. He stood and Grimmjow sat up from where he was resting on the bed under the window. "What's wrong? Did it not work?"
"Calm down, pup, he's fine. His body is absorbing all of the energies I poured into him and he'll be like this until he's done." His eyes landed on the door to the storage room. "What's through there?"
Ulqui shrugged. "Junk room."
Pantera headed towards it and the humans quietly followed. Inside, they watched Pantera gingerly set the out-of-it bat-demon in the old hoop chair and begin searching the tubs and boxes. "I'm just looking for blankets and other soft things to build a nest with," he rumbled when asked for an explanation of what he was doing. After that, he found the box of thick, winter blankets and took a few of them to the darkest corner in the room where he began arranging them.
"Why a nest?" Grimmjow asked. "Just put him in bed."
"Because in this state, he might mindlessly feed from whatever happens to be next to him with a heartbeat. He bit me at least three times on the way back here." With the nest done, he settled Murcielago into it. With a thoughtful grunt, he retrieved a long length of Ulqui's father's climbing rope and bound Murciel in loose intricate knots, binds that, as his body grew, would grow with him. It seemed ineffectual to the humans, but Pantera appeared to know what he was doing, so they didn't question him. "Okay, it's done. Don't untie him until he's lucid."
"Okay."
Grimmjow crossed his arms. "You're being awful nice to him."
"I'm not being nice. What kind of dominant would I be if I didn't provide aftercare to my submissive?"
"Aftercare?"
Ulqui blushed, knowing what the demon was talking about.
Pantera looked pointedly at Grimmjow. "Aftercare is very important. Remember that."
Grimmjow made a confused face, but dropped the matter.
The introverted teen looked to his weakened demon in his blanket nest. "How long until he's back to normal?"
With a shrug, Pantera murmured, "Week, week and a half tops. If you're feeling brave enough, give him a few drops of blood from time to time, just don't let him get his fangs in you."
"But what if he does?"
Pantera rumbled as his eyes looked to the ceiling in thought. "Pull his tail. If you pull it hard enough, it'll cause a shock of pain up his spine that should make him gasp and slacken his jaw."
Ulqui nodded.
He looked back to Grimmjow. "Are we doing anything else here?"
Grimmjow gave a noncommittal shrug. "Just hangin' out now, I guess. Since we're not at home, we can actually hang out in the same room, and I can look through the books without my dad running in on me."
"Books?" Ulqui murmured incredulously. "You're going to study?" He followed the pair as they left the room, and shut the door behind him with a quiet thump.
"Yeah, but not what you think." He hopped onto the bed which already had books and papers out; the desk looked much the same. The homework he'd appeared to have been trudging through was pushed away uncovering a tome that'd been hidden under the mess. Ulqui walked closer to see the new book.
It looked old, and ragged in a "well-loved" sort of way. The leather was dark and cracked in some places, and the pages were yellowed and looked soft around the edges. As Grimmjow flipped through the pages, Ulqui saw pictures done in ink that looked more brown than black, and had depictions of demons and curly writing he had to squint and lean closer to read. He got to a page that had a slip of paper marking the page. The "bookmark" looked interesting as well. It was the newest thing in the entire book, probably only newly made. The paper was thin, but wide and had characters scrawled on it.
"One of the ward papers," Pantera murmured, his position notably distant from the bed.
"No, I drew this while you were gone." He held it in the albino demon's direction. 'How's that? Feel it?"
Apparently, the knowledge that this was a fresh made ward emboldened Pantera to step closer until he simply plucked it from the human's fingers making the bluenet frown. "It's uncomfortable, but not nearly as potent as what your sire has around the house."
Grimm snatched it back. "Damn old man's that strong?!" He growled and started reading the old book with a focus Ulqui hadn't been aware he possessed.
Pantera glanced over his shoulder. "What are you trying to do?"
A page was flipped with an annoyed grunt. "Since I summoned you guys with special runes to protect you from demon-slaying weapons and stuff, I figured I could do something to make you immune to wards. Maybe tattoo I'd on yah, or something…" He sighed and looked at his failed ward. "But I can't make a good ward-blocker if my wards just suck. Hmm… maybe I-"
He was interrupted by his phone ringing, blaring an alarm and a funny voice announcing that his father was calling, and he groaned and slipped the phone from his back pocket. He hesitated for a moment, probably considering ignoring it (Ulqui was guilty of doing that very thing many times), but after the third repeat of "Warning! Warning! Your father is calling!" he answered.
"What do you want old man?"
Ulqui could hear the stern man's icy tone. "Come home, right now."
"Why?"
"Because I know that wherever you are, that demon is there as well, now come home."
He scoffed. "I keep telling you, Pantera isn't a danger, you don't have to try to protect me from him."
"And I've told you, time and time again, that you don't know what you're talking about, and you've meddled with forces you shouldn't even know about. Now come home, right now, or I'll track you down, and drag home."
"Like to see you try."
The senior Jaegerjaquez grunted and went silent for a moment, prompting Grimmjow to smirk triumphantly until the elder returned. "What are you doing on Oliver Blvd?"
Grimmjow's eyes widened in shock. "You chip me or something?!"
"Please, nothing nearly as invasive as that. Now, come home."
The call ended, and Grimmjow growled and shoved the device back in his pocket, muttering obscenities as he shoved his stuff into his bag. "Man! I was looking forward to having Mrs. Solita's home cooking too!" He threw the bag of snacks in his bag last and zipped it up with an angry yank. There was more muttering as he did a once over to make sure he'd gotten everything before he looked to his demon. "Are you alright going back?"
White eyebrows went skyward. "You're asking me?"
"Well yeah, you're the one who has to go back to the forest 'cuz my dad's being a tight ass. You're okay out there, right? Need another blanket?"
A pleased rumble emanated from his chest though the feeling didn't reach his face. "I'll be fine, but yes, another blanket would be nice."
Grimmjow nodded. He looked to Ulqui. "See you Monday probably."
"Yeah, bye," Ulqui murmured as he watched them go down the stairs. He heard the quiet murmurings of the bluenet apologizing to his mother for not being able to stay for dinner before they finally left. It was quiet after that, but for the sounds of his mother cooking. His eyes strayed to the door of the extra room. He wandered over to it.
Ulqui opened the door and could only then hear the soft whimpers coming from Murcielago. In his darkened corner, he laid trembling and weak as his body absorbed the massive amount of energy he'd been given. It made Ulqui wonder if it would've been better if they'd just continued on with what they'd been doing. Just allowing Murciel to absorb the meager amount of energy he could provide with his intimate fluids. At least then he wouldn't be like this. So vulnerable and oblivious to the world around him. Especially, when the Shinigami knew, not only, of Murciel, but also where Ulqui lived.
On a sigh, he entered the room and moved closer to the bat demon who seemed unaware of his presence. For some reason, he expected Murciel to already look a little different, but the demon still looked the same as he had that morning; there was always tomorrow.
He watched the demon for a few moments more before he left.
x~x
Ulqui checked on him the next morning, and was gratified to see a physical change in the demon. He looked older then Ulqui did, so about 21 perhaps. He was longer, bulkier, his hair longer, and his demonic traits bigger and more threatening.
And his fangs were out.
Ulqui swallowed nervously at the sight of them.
He turned and left the room and found himself walking to his bookshelf. Kneeling in front of it. Pulling out a thick hardback book from the bottom shelf. He reached into the vacated space and pulled out a little plastic case that looked akin to an SD card case before going back to the demon.
He opened the case then, revealing four shiny blades. The sight of them brought of dark thoughts, but he shoved them away. He was just feeding his hungry demon. Nothing more.
Nothing more.
He cut his palm instead of his wrist, and moved closer to hover his bleeding hand over the demon's gaped mouth.
Murciel tensed as the first drop hit him, and his tongue rolled out to catch more of the drips.
Ulqui flexed his hand to increase the flow until he finally felt he should stop. He gathered up his tools and retreated back to his room where he stayed for the rest of the day.
x~x
Ulquiorra fed Murciel blood on Sunday, and again on Monday before leaving for school, noting the slight physical changes that had happened over night; his tail was longer and his wings bigger.
Orihime was disappointed that Murcie wasn't with him that day, but Rukia was downright suspicious. He ignored the annoying woman, but that didn't sit well with her.
She cornered him in the hall while they were transitioning between classes.
Ulqui just sighed. At least the corner was familiar. It was one of the many dark alcoves of the school that Grimmjow would, in the past, trap him in for a round of "Fuck with the Weird Goth Kid". He gazed at Rukia through his bangs.
"Where is it?"
"Where's what?"
She scowled, or rather the one she already wore became more intense. "The demon."
"Why is that any of your business?"
"Because if the demon isn't here with you, then who knows what it's doing?"
"I am well aware of what he's doing. Now, leave me – us! - alone." He tried to bump by her, but she stuck a deceptively strong arm out to stop him.
"You're not going anywhere until I get answers!"
"Rukia!"
Ulqui looked over her shoulder as the orange-haired Ichigo appeared. The teen's eyebrows quirked when he saw Ulquiorra.
"What's going on here?"
Rukia didn't spare a glance his way, keeping her glare trained on Ulqui. "Questioning him about the demon he's protecting."
The oranget sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Ulqui. Your demon. Is it dangerous to others? Does it have any plans on destruction?"
"No, he was summoned with special runes to keep him from doing all those things."
Ichigo nodded. "Okay, Rukia, let's go." He proceeded to drag the irate ravenette away. "See you later then."
Ulqui watched them disappear. He huffed and headed to class.
x~x
Both Rukia and Ichigo were mysteriously missing the next day, but Ulqui ignored it in favor of getting some work done before he had to subject himself to three hours of work at the bookstore. He was glad that he'd managed to avoid most of the stupid questions during his restocking, and the dark walk home relaxed him.
His mother greeted him when he entered. She looked dressed to leave.
"Welcome home, sweetie. Your friends arrived a little early, so I sent them up to your room."
Ulqui toed off his sneakers. "Grimmjow?"
"Oh, no. A nice dark-haired girl and a boy with rather vibrant orange hair."
He groaned. The Shinigami were infiltrating his house now? When would these people just leave him and Murciel alone. They were no threat to anyone. On a quiet growl, he stomped up the stairs. The growl got a little louder when the pair wasn't in his room, and the door to the junk room was open.
"What are you doing?" he demanded as he entered to find them too close to the vulnerable demon. "Get away from my demon, and get out of my house!"
They both ignored his demands, thought Ichigo at least had the decency to look abashed. Rukia, however, moved a little closer. He heard Murciel growl quietly. "What's wrong with it?"
"Get out," Ulqui answered instead, his eyes lingering on the demon's mouth as fangs lengthened. He'd fed him just this morning, so he shouldn't have been hungry, right? "Seriously, leave."
Rukia ignored him and squatted near Murciel. "If he's so harmless, then I'm fine right?"
"I never said he was harmless."
"So, then you admit that he's dangerous!"
"Only to you because you're too close! Get away from him!"
Suddenly, the demon's eyes, an unnatural red, snapped open, and with a snarl he struck, fastening his teeth low on the girl's leg.
She screamed.
"Rukia!" Ichigo shouted and rushed to aid her.
Ulqui just groaned and went to help as well. While Ichigo tried to fruitlessly pry the demon's teeth out, Ulqui straddled his body and yanked his tail as he'd been told.
As Pantera had said, Murciel gasped and released Rukia, and Ulqui rolled him back on his back, and sat on him, pinning him down. Murciel struggled until Ulqui discretely ground his butt on the other's groin. He shushed him gently and rubbed at his bound arms. "Get her out of here while I calm him down."
Ichigo nodded and ushered her out.
Murciel relaxed once the door clicked shut.
Oh, he wasn't hungry, he felt threatened. With an understanding nod, he used the edge of one of the blankets to clean the blood dribbling from the demon's mouth before leaving.
Rukia was perched on the edge of his bed while Ichigo kneeled in front of her, tending the bite on her leg.
"I raided your bathroom for the first aid kit," he murmured in lieu of an apology for the light snooping. "Hope you don't mind."
Ulqui crossed his arms. "Yes, I do mind. This wouldn't have happened had you just listened to me, and had left well enough alone. For someone who thinks demons are dangerous, you got pretty damn close. Idiot."
"Excuse me?!"
"You heard me. Now when he's done, I want you gone. Both of you. And don't come back either."
"You can't stop us from pursuing this demon. It needs to be destroyed."
"Well you can't, so stop wasting your breath, and my time." He watched Ichigo finish up the bandage job and tossed everything back in the clean white case. "Good, you're done. Leave."
"This isn't over," Rukia murmured as Ichigo helped her to her feet.
"Well then at least be smarter next time. If that's possible for you." The scathing comment was allowed to hang in the air as the two dark-haired teens glared at each other. Ichigo just quietly helped Rukia out of his room and eventually out of the house. Ulqui followed only so he could lock the door, and the retreated right back to the junk room to check on Murcielago one more time.
He hadn't noticed earlier, but during the time of him leaving for school, and returning from work, Murciel had returned to a form like that of his original. Everything was the right size now, and his fingers even had the ominous darkening that made it hard to tell the claws from his actual digits. He no longer whimpered as well, only deep soothing breaths as he reposed. It made him think that the demon would awaken soon. Thursday, perhaps.
He flinched when Murciel groaned and arched a little, his bared cock stiffened a little.
Ulqui blushed at the sight of it. Yeah, you're doing a lot better…
x~x
He was tired when he got home the next day. He'd been accosted by Rukia and two other Shinigami both on the way to school and during school, they'd played dodgeball again for gym, and due to his success last time, people wrongly had a high expectation of him, and at least 10 people managed to catch him at work. Not even the quiet walk home had quite relaxed him.
His parents weren't home which was fine with him, and a covered plate of dinner had been set in the microwave for him. He wasn't hungry so he drank a bit of water and headed upstairs to check on Murciel, do his homework and then pass out. He set the glass of water on his dresser as he passed it on his way to the junk room and slipped inside.
"There you are."
Ulqui let out a humiliating yelp at the sudden voice and looked to the demon who gazed at him with warm half-lidded eyes. He had a sleepy smile as he stretched his body and flexed his hands which were still bound over his chest.
"Come here, master."
His feet moved automatically to obey. "I thought you wouldn't be awake until tomorrow, maybe." He grunted when he was captured by the demon's tail and yanked down to lay atop of Murciel. He lifted himself to straddle the other's body, and began to unbind him.
"I'm still not completely awake, but awareness grasped me and wouldn't let go, so I just waited for you to come home." When his wrists were free, he wrapped his arms around his human and pulled him down in a warm embrace. He rolled onto his side so that Ulqui's back was to the wall, and curled around him, his nose buried into Ulqui's neck.
"Are you hungry?"
"No." He licked Ulqui's neck nonetheless.
"Are you sure?"
"Mm hm." Murciel sucked a bruise into his throat and Ulqui could feel his member harden against his groin.
"You're horny."
He smiled against the mark he'd made. "Just a bit."
Ulqui sighed. "Let me take everything off first."
With a pleased sound, Murciel rolled back on his back to allow Ulqui to get up and undress. "So accommodating."
Ulqui just blushed as he stood to drop his pants. He was confused when the demon stopped him from straddling his body again.
"There's a small black bag hidden under the hoop chair; get it."
The teen was quick to comply again, retrieving the velvet bag and passing it off. He blushed when he realized that the bag contained the other toys the bat-demon had bought so long ago. "I don't want to use those…"
Murciel removed a tube of lube, and tossed the bag and the rest of its contents to the side. He asked Ulqui to settle between his legs as he squeezed some of the clear gel onto his fingers, and reached down towards his own entrance.
Ulqui tensed. "What are you…?"
The demon just grinned as he pushed two fingers inside himself. "I want you to fuck me again."
"What? B-But you're big again!"
"I did say that I'd let you be more active in our couplings."
Ulqui looked down. "I didn't think you were serious…"
With a chuckle, he removed his fingers and he used his tail to urge the teenager closer. "Now remember what I told you before." He widened his legs and propped himself on his elbows to watch Ulqui.
Ulqui didn't move. But he was still hard.
His smile was still deceptively warm even as his whip-like tail wrapped around the introvert's balls. He pulled Ulquiorra closer by the delicate package until the head of his ruddy cock bumped his well-lubed hole. "Go on."
Nervous yet emboldened all the same, Ulqui placed his hands on his demon's hips and guided his member in the welcoming orifice. He shuddered and moaned with Murciel, the demon loose enough that Ulqui slid inside in one stroke, but still tight. To urge Ulqui on, the demon gave his balls a squeeze, and with a grunt he began to thrust.
He knew he'd hit the demon's prostate when he jerked with a sharp moan and let his head fall back, exposing his neck to the human who found himself fixed on the vulnerable area. He leaned closer, but Murciel was too tall to reach the other's neck.
"Trying to – ha! – bite me?"
"I – ah – I think so. Mmph. Maybe?"
"You could've when I was smaller."
"I like this better." He gasped, already feeling the familiar coiling sensation of an approaching orgasm.
Murciel chuckled and framed Ulqui's face with his hands, his fingers curling into the shorter dark tresses and his thumbs running over thin lips. "You missed me. This form of me." His tail released Ulqui's balls, and slicked by traces of lube and pre, snaked into Ulqui.
"Aah! Ngh!" He collapsed on top of Murciel his hips still rutting as his own prostate was teased. "Ah! Ah, coming! Coming!" He jerked and stiffened as the coil snapped and he felt himself shooting long strands of jism into his demon until he fell still. He panted harshly. "S…Sorry…"
Murciel curled his body so that he could kiss the sated human's brow. "It's okay." He pulled and Ulqui's spent member slipped out of him. He rolled over, and Ulqui remaining limp and pliable while he was arranged on his side facing the wall. Murciel spooned him and gently pressed his still hard length inside him. He shushed the human as he gasped and cried out.
Ulqui expected the demon to take him in lazy short thrusts, but Murciel just cuddled with him, his tail even coming into play, wrapping around Ulqui's thigh with the tip just brushing his intimate bits. The demon then stilled and his breathing deepened as he slipped back into slumber, effectively turning him into a naughty teddy bear, or warm body pillow of sorts.
Accepting the situation, and the fatigue of sex adding to his weariness from the day, Ulqui settled in the warm embrace for a nap.
His homework could get done later.
