Sorry about the late posting! A lot has been happening these last few weeks. The night before Thanksgiving, I got into a car accident. I'm fine, but my minivan didn't do so well! Either did the rock wall, fence, or tree that I hit. It shook me up for a few days. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I already have around 25 pages written for the future chapters. Thank you to all that have reviewed and added me to your favorite list and alerts. Gabby

Surprise
Chapter Twenty-three
"Their coming!" Karin announced as he turned her head and met GrimmJow's eyes with seriousness.
A few moments went by when all of a sudden the sky opened up and hollows began to appear. The Shinigami's cell phones hollow alerts went off and Ichigo's substitute shinigami's badge flashed.
Renji just was about to take a look at the two guys and judge who was larger, but he was literally saved by the bell! Well, in this case the beeping alarm. Renji stood between Ichigo and Shirosaki as they faced his sides. "Awe, looks like we'll just have to save this for the later boys." Renji said as he looked at both of them with a seductive smirk that clearly promised them one hell of a good time later on. Both of the men openly gaped at him upon hearing the tone of his voice and the salacious look he gave them.
Renji inwardly beamed at their expressions, knowing he had them hook, line, and sinker, because he wasn't done with them yet. Ichigo and Shirosaki had to pay for teasing the shit out of him, and he knew exactly what to do to get back at them. With both of his hands that already had a hold of each one of each one of their hakamas, he let go and slipped his hands inside the front of them. "Did I happen to mention, boys, that I'm ambidextrous?" he sexually mewed while he wrapped his hand around both of them. This made them both let out the same squeal of shock.
After a gentle squeeze and tug, he quickly released the two of them and briskly walked off like nothing had occurred. He could feel the heat from their combined stares upon his back, but did nothing to acknowledge it. Renji just simply, innocently slowly bent down to recover Zambimaru that he had discarded before the so called judging took place to give the boys a nice view of his ass. He shifted his hips very slightly to one side and looked back at them with a wicked grin seeing the flustered look on both of their faces. "Come on boys, we got some hollow ass we gotta kick."
Both Ichigo and Shirosaki snapped out of their daze state, and followed suit by grabbing their own zanpakutous. As they did so, Shirosaki made the comment, "King, ya sure know how to pick'em, he's really good at playin the game."
"No, shit! He's not only really good at it, he's fuckin amazing." responded Ichigo with a laugh. Renji overheard the exchange between the two, and was overjoyed knowing that he had beaten them at their own game.
Renji happen to miss the following part of what Ichigo said to Shirosaki though since Ichigo said it in a hushed voice, "But don't ya go an get any ideas, he's mine got that, Shiro!"
Shirosaki stared wide eyed at Ichigo possiveness, and smirked, "Sure, King, I won't touch y'er precious Renji, well at least not by my own hands," he chuckled in his sinister way, but then he stopped in place and met Ichigo's eyes with utter seriousness, "just as long as you do the same concernin the Old Man."
Ichigo grinned back at Shiro, "Damn we're a lot a like, Shiro! We both protect what is ours don't we?" He stepped forward, moving in closer to the hollow, and placing his hand upon his shoulder saying, "Ya, have my word. I never looked at the Old Man that way anyways, but I understand ya might have been worried and all since him and I do have a special bond. And even if I did feel that way I would never do that to ya, I know that you care deeply for him, Shiro."
Shirosaki shrugged off his hand while he spat, "Whatever, King, or should I call ya a Queen since ya getting all girly on me." Even though Shirosaki was harsh with his words, he had a small smile on his face.
Ichigo noticed and knew the hollow was trying to thank him in his own fucked up way. He didn't say anything back to him about it, and decided to continue with the sparring of words. "And what would that make ya if I was a 'Queen', my pretty little pony?" Ichigo joked as they once again started to make they're way over to where the hollows came out. They finally caught up to the red head shinigami when Shirosaki took it upon himself to reply to Ichigo's sarcasm.
"Sure, King, I wouldn't mind being y'er pretty pony, but only if ya would ride me bare back."
"Fuck, ya two never stop, do ya?!" Renji gaped, shaking his head at both of them.
Ichigo cracked up, and he just couldn't hold in what came to his mind when Renji said that, "Please forgive me, but I just gotta," he laughed even harder, "I'm so sorry…you're right…'laugh'…Ren, we're like the…'laugh' the Energizer Bunny….'laugh'…we keep going and going and going." Ichigo was bent over with laughter, Shiro had a wicked smirk plastered on his face knowing full well what Ichigo was referring to and implying, and Renji was once again confused.
"Nani, Energizer Bunny is that like Chappy the bunny?" he asked.
Ichigo mind was so in the gutter at this point, he responded between his laughter, "Only if Chappy was takin Speed and Viagra at the same time!" He actually fell to his knees laughing so hard. Shiro finally let go and stared to crack up too, the mental picture was just too much. Leaving a bewildered Renji just standing there looking at the two fools.
Hitsugaya finally stepped into the disarray. He knew he had to do something about this current situation, "Kurosaki-san, you need to get a grip of yourself, this is a serious matter here."
"I know, Toushirou, but…" continued to laugh Ichigo. His face all flushed from the laughter and stood back up.
"That's Hitsugaya Taichou to you!"
"But we're practically family Toushirou," scoffed Ichigo still slightly laughing as he ruffled Toushirou's hair.
Suddenly they all heard a low growl coming from the smaller shinigami and the air around them became cold.
"Oh, fuck ya did it now, Ichigo" scowled Renji eyeing the scene in front of him slowly backing away.
Ichigo glanced over at Renji and then back to Toushirou quickly realizing he was in some deep shit. He pulled his hand way as fast as he could.
"Ichigo!"
"Hai, Hitsugaya Taichou," gasped Ichigo since he was no fool, he didn't want his balls to be frozen off.
"Much better, glad to see that you're taking this more seriously."
"Hai gomen, Toushirou!" Ichigo said before thinking and then slapped his hand to his mouth trying to take back what he just said.
Hitsugaya rolled his eyes at the substitute shinigami. He chuckled to himself, Ichigo, will never change, but that is why I and the others have grown so fond of him over the years.
He's still like a breath of fresh air in our stifled society. Outwardly though he just walked away to meet up with the others. He had his classic scowl of indignation on his face; he had to keep up appearances of course. Hitsugaya Toushirou, Taichou of the Division, didn't want anyone to think of him as weak, and he constantly had to show his authority because of his child like appearance, but when it came to Karin he could let down his guard and be himself. He made his way to her side, and the scowl instantly disappeared and in its place was a warm, caring smile. She returned the smile that he was giving her. This made his heart lighter as he went to face the hollows. Hitsugaya knew that he had finally found that missing piece he had longed for so long. Hitsugaya had fallen madly and deeply in love with Karin Kurosaki.
He scanned around him and looked upon his follow comrades. They all finally were prepared to take on the hollows that came out of the expanse of the sky. Karin was on his right side holding her zanpakutou, Kuroi Doku (Black Poison) in her hands. GrimmJow stood next to her with his vaizard mask on his face. It was the shape of a panther's skull, and his hair had grown longer cascading down his back like a shimmering waterfall. The power radiating off of him was quite impressive even to a Taichou like himself. Rukia was to the vaizard's left and had her zanpakutou, Sode no Shirayuki (Sleeve of White Snow), out ready for the ominous battle. Renji, Ichigo, and Shirosaki were now by his left side waiting for the hollows approach.
Hitsugaya was still taken back that he was about to fight the hollows with his girlfriend, who happen to be a mysterious and strangely powered shinigami. His two dear friends and trusted comrades Rukia and Abarai Renji Taichou of the Fifth Division, the two powerful vaizards that without their help Soul Society would never had won the war against Aizen the shinigami traitor of Soul Society, and now the inner hollow of Ichigo was also fighting at his side. War time and battles sure made for some weird bed fellows, he thought to himself. He let out a laugh when the thought flowed through his mind, and he received some strange startled glances from those around him. Damn, he thought the laughter and raunchy humor is contagious!
And with almost perfect timing to emphasizes his thoughts, GrimmJow turned to Karin and commented, "So babe, are ya going to bring out the twins?"
"Do ya think I'll need to? They can be a bit shy ya know!" she replied back to him with laughter in her voice.
"Oh, ya know I love it when you pull them out for display." He flung his arm over the back of her shoulders and crouched down placing his chin on her shoulder focusing his stare on her zanpakutou.
"Well, if ya insist I must then." Karin raised Kuroi Doku with both hands grasping the handle and chanted, "Nibai Dageki Tsuin Shikon (Double Strike Twin Fangs)." Her zanpakutou became two twin blades that formed a wave pattern. The wavy edges were serrated from hilt to tip. When looking upon them the blades, they appeared to move on their own accord with a semi hypnotic effect much like the slithering movement of a snake.
Hitsugaya crossed briskly over to them, "GrimmJow, kindly remove yourself off of her." He said in his authoritative voice.
GrimmJow's lip curled to the side and moved back from Karin. "She's all yours Toushirou." He said as he moved back over towards Rukia while Hitsugaya scowled at him for not using his proper title.
"What do ya think, Toushirou, do ya like the girls." Karin asked Toushirou who was now bluntly staring at her zanpakutou.
"They are rather eye catching aren't they?" he commented while watching the dance of her zanpakutou.
"I know they are beautiful to behold, huh?" she replied also staring down at the blades in her hands.
Hitsugaya looked from the rhythmic movement of the blades and then directly at her face. "They are not the only beauty I see before me." stated Toushirou to Karin causing her to blush profusely.
Suddenly the ten hollows that appeared began their attack. The hollows were in a variety of different forms; some insect like, some animalistic, and others were just monstrous hideous creatures. These new hollows that they began to face after the war were not ignorant or solitary anymore. They had grown in intelligence, and learned to work together realizing that more than one of them would be more difficult to kill. They also learned battle strategies while cooperating with each other. Aizen had managed to change Hueco Mundo irrevocably with the War causing some major side effects. One of these was that the hollows were more powerful, more deadly, and more dangerous than ever before. It was as if it was his final stab of revenge after his death, to make it more difficult for the shinigami to try to live a relative peaceful coexistence.
The comrades in arms all turned and faced the enemy that was before them, no more jokes were made, no more laughter was heard, no more beautiful affections were said, it was time to fight, to protect, and time to kick some ass…
