Surprise

Chapter Twenty-five

"Wow, that was cool." Renji remarked to Ichigo as he walked over to him after the final attack. "How did ya guys come up with that?" Renji asked.

Ichigo placed his Zanpaktou on his back and smiled at him. "Well, we practice a lot in the underground of Urahara's, also in the past when we fought each other for dominance, we both noticed we had the same moves. It wasn't a major jump in reasoning to do the mirror image when we started to fight side by side."

"Oh, how is that guy doing, is he up to his same old tricks?"

"Slipper hat and clogs is the same as always. I still always feel like he's got somethin hidden up that green sleeve of his, though. Maybe we should stop by sometime while you're still here. By the way how long is your leave?" he asked casually trying not to show his worry. God, I don't want him to leave, I just got him back. What am I gonna do!

"Yeah, that sounds like it would be a good idea. Oh, I don't have a set time bein a Taichou and all. I make up my own schedule." Renji answered smugly "But I do have to check up every once in a while. I'd say no longer than a month, though." Only a month, that's better than nothing I guess, thought Ichigo.

Ichigo tried not to show how much it hurt just thinking of Renji not being there with him. "I'm sure he would love to see ya , you being his favorite Freeloader-san, and all." cracked Ichigo earning him a punch in the arm from Renji.

"Oh, by the way I was wonderin about earlier, what was…" he paused trying to say it the right way, "Well, damn, I guess I'll be frank about it; Do ya want to have a threesome with Shirosaki?"

Ichigo mouth dropped open at the question Renji just asked him. "No o o!" he stumbled. "Umm, we were just messin with ya, but … I…, I do kinda feel bad that I didn't tell ya before we had sex that there was a chance that Shiro could feel us." he added nervously then he became quiet, lost in thought. "I guess I've been tryin to make you feel more comfortable with him so it won't be so strange, and it's just that I really wasn't thinking about it and all. My mind was on other things at the time, and…" Ichigo rambled on clearly showing he was uncomfortable about the question that Renji had just asked. Ichigo was starting to worry that maybe Renji was actually interested in having a threesome with Shirosaki and him. He thought back to when they all had been flirting and Renji didn't show any reluctance when he had groped Shirosaki. 'Oh Fuck,' rang through his mind, 'me and my pervert mind games!'

Renji interrupted him, pulling Ichigo from his hysterical thoughts. "Ichi, I'm not upset at that. I admit it was a shock when I heard it from Shirosaki, but I can understand it, I think."

"Ren, ya gotta understand I don't want to share ya with anyone. You're finally mine and …."

"Ichi." voiced Renji seeing that Ichigo was distressed.

"But well, there's also the fact he can take over my body, if I let him." he continued on.

"Ichigo!"

"No, let me finish please. I've thought about this a lot, and if ya want, please oh please I hope ya don't, I wouldn't mind that since I'm aware of what's going on. But I don't think I would feel comfortable with ya and him in the flesh together, so to speak. And…"

"ICHIGO," yelled Renji finally getting the overly concerned strawberries attention. "I don't want to sleep with him!" he practically shouted.

"Huh," gasped Ichigo, "but I thought...that ya wanted…" he stuttered.

"Ichi," Renji said cutting him off as he looked him directly in the eye, "I'm really glad that it was just all talk." Renji noticed that Ichigo's eyes still showed concern. "I mean, well hell, he looks exactly like ya, and man that's fuckin hot, but he's not, …he's not you." He said the last part softly causing a red taint to flush upon Ichigo's cheeks which Renji noticed just before Ichigo turned his head away in embarrassment.

After a minute or so, Ichigo finally met Renji's gaze, now feeling more self assured that Renji was only interested in him and not Shirosaki, "Does that mean ya think I'm funkin hot, Ren?" he smirked.

"What do ya think?" Renji answered huskily in Ichigo's ear as he grabbed Ichigo's ass with both hands pulling him flush against him. Their groins collided, Renji swiveled his hips causing delicious friction that sent shivers down both of their spines.

"I'll take that as a yes." Ichigo muffled into the nape of Renji's throat just before his tongue traced one of Renji's alluring tattoos. "Fuck, Ren, I want ya so damn much."

"I know Ichi, but we gotta behave, everyone's around." sighed the red head.

Ichigo slightly separated his torso from Renji so he could peer into his amber eyes. He gave him his puppy dog look and pouted. "Do we really have too?" slyly asked Ichi as he ground his hips against Renji's making them both moan in pleasure and frustration.

"Awe fuck Ichi, ya need to stop before I lose my mind and throw ya down and take ya right here." Renji groaned as he placed his forehead to Ichigo's.

"God, I love the fact that I can cause ya to …" Ichigo couldn't finish his sentence when Renji captured his lips in a deep lustful kiss.

Rukia broke the two of them up as she commented rather loudly, "Damn, you two get a room for crying out loud."

Renji blushed and laughed, "I guess we were being bad again, Ichi."

Ichi grinned back at him and replied, "Speaking of being bad, I wonder what Shirosaki's up to?" Causing Renji to chuckle as they both began to scan the area for the hollow. They saw him joking around with GrimmJow.

Shirosaki had his arm swung over the back of GrimmJow's shoulders. They had huge smiles on their faces and Grimm was laughing at something Shirosaki had said. "Hey, Ren, let's go see what they are up too, huh?"

After the battle, Shirosaki and Cookie started to joke around with one another. They didn't notice Renji and Ichigo crossing over to them. When Ichigo overheard Shirosaki asked Cookie if he missed being an Espada, his ears perked to attention. Ichigo overheard Cookie's response and let's say he was quite surprised by it. He apparently wasn't the only one listening in, he was soon to discover, so was Rukia. Ichigo knew this because both of them questioned 'Nani?' at the same time out loud to GrimmJow's answer. The response they both overheard that shocked them was "Yeah, sometimes I do. I miss the fightin and let's face it, the sex.

"Nani," Ichigo and Rukia both questioned him. They looked at each other in surprise, but quickly recovered and then turn their attention back to GrimmJow. Ichigo and Rukia hurriedly crossed over to where GrimmJow was standing with Shirosaki. Renji following right behind Ichigo, but Ichigo was too interested in what the vaizard had said to notice.

Shirosaki being no one's fool, stepped back from the vaizard not wanting to be sucked into the hole he just dug for himself. If anyone took notice of him, they would have seen that he had a smug look plastered on his face. God, how he loved to cause mischief!

Oh, shit! Me and my big fuckin mouth. GrimmJow cringed inwardly as he realized that he was overheard.

Once again, but more precisely from the eavesdroppers, "Nani, Sex?"

Grimm thought to himself, Damn I really did it this time, so I guess I'm goin to have to explain it to them. But shit what if they don't understand!

Trying to dig out of the hole he just throw himself into he asked, "What, ya didn't think that the Espada had sex?" in an accusing manner.

"We'll, I never really thought about it," confessed Rukia slightly feeling like an idiot.

"Neither did I." replied Ichigo.

Seeing his plan had started to work in his favor, GrimmJow continued hoping to make the others feel shameful. "Damn, ya Shinigami didn't care what so ever about what the Espada were, the fact that we were living, breathing beings that had personal lives, ya just thought of us as the enemy. Ya, never really tried ta understand us at all." He huffed and returned back to his conversation with Shirosaki once he saw the guilt ridden expressions upon both their faces, and noticed the hollow was not there anymore.

He quickly looked around and finally his eyes came to rest on an ,oh so happy looking hollow. It suddenly hit him that he had been played. 'MOTHERFUCKING GOD DAMN ASSHOLE!' He screamed to himself., and glared at the damn inner hollow making his thoughts completely readable through his blood lust gaze, I'm gonna rip off your head and shove it straight up your fuckin ass! He unconsciously let out a slow growl while he stared at Shirosaki overly smug expression. He quickly recovered from his killing rage when he remembered he was already in enough deep shit at the time, and after calming down from wanting to tear Hichigo limb from limb he began to think, Please God let my stupid plan of a guilt trip work, and not have them ask anymore, he prayed as he turned back around to face them with a downcast look.

"Umm, sorry" both of them mumbled and were about to turn away until Ichigo did a double take.

"Fuck, no you're not getting out of this. What the hell? Ya, miss the sex? Who the hell did ya fuck?"

DAMMIT! GrimmJow inwardly shuttered, I have ta try an' explain I guess. "Kay, I'll try ta explain myself to you two, but ya gotta understand Espada and Shinigami/Human are not a like." GrimmJow took notice that their conversation was now being listened to by the others, but he had no choice but to continue on.

"We know that ya, baka." expressed Rukia with a Duh stare on her face.

"Well, ya know that hollows don't have emotions, right?" He paused and saw them both nod in understanding and continued, "The Espada, being the highest form of hollows were graced with the form of a human. We, they, didn't have emotions like the rest of the hollows, but we still had physical needs so sex was just a physical thing. Nothing more. It was like a battle in a lot of ways. We fought for dominance in battle, and sex was looked at similar manor. The higher rank you were, you had the right to dominant the lower rank."

"Oh, I think I got it." Ichigo said. "Let's say I was ranked number one so anyone under that I could have."

"Yeah."

"But hold on, you were ranked six so that means the five above you could have ya, and those under you, ya could take." Ichigo stated.

"You're getting it, but it's not as simple as that." he sighed really not wanting to do this. "The Espada that was dominated had the right to refuse if they didn't want to, but ya had to be careful because if they were more powerful than you most likely they could get ya anyways. Ya, also got to consider just because an Espada was above your rank didn't mean he, umm they, would want ya that way anyways."

Rukia looked over at Ichigo their eyes connected and she could tell he was also wondering the same as her. She just didn't understand why he cared about it, though. Still puzzled by Ichigo interest she looked straight at GrimmJow. "I guess we get it. It was just physical, no emotional attachments, and it was based on rank. But I think both Ichigo and I are wondering is who did YOU have sex with?"

Ichigo piped in, "And come to think about it, most Espada were male."

FUCK! This is what I didn't want ta explain. Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves GrimmJow looked at them, "You' re right most of us were male, Ichigo, but as an Espada we didn't look at gender the same way as you guys do. It was based on how powerful one was; that's what attracted the other. Someone of lower rank could initiate sex with someone of higher rank, but it was always up to the higher rank to consent. And the higher rank would have their own personal reasons to except or not, but most of the time it was simply to dominate the lower rank, and if they enjoyed that partner they would continue with them."

"Got it, but once again who did YOU have sex with?"

"Ichigo, that's umm personal." GrimmJow said softly.

"But if it was just sex, and that's all it was, then why can't ya tell us." Ichigo continued his interrogation of his friend.

"Cause it was just sex, but no matter what I say or who I say I had it with, you're gonna thinkit was more than that. It's just human nature. That's why ya can't get it, ya can't understand!" GrimmJow snapped clearly aggravated at the whole situation.

"Grimm, if you don't want to say we understand, don't we Ichigo?" Rukia voiced looking over at Ichigo.

Ichigo glanced back at her and then peered at the ground in front of him, shaking his head from side to side. "No, I won't understand. You've been my best friend for years. I've told ya everything about me." And then his head shot up and he glared at GrimmJow. "Everything!" he shouted. "And you didn't, couldn't be as open with me. Fuck you, GrimmJow!" snapping at the vaizard.

Renji who was standing beside Ichigo listening in on the verbal exchange was taken back by Ichigo's sudden outburst. He gazed over at Ichigo's facial expression wondering to himself, Everything, he told him everythin, was Ichigo and GrimmJow that close!

"Ichi, please." GrimmJow reached forward to grab Ichigo's shoulder.

Ichigo back away saying rather harshly, "Don't fuckin touch me ya bastard." Ichigo's eyes followed the movement of Grimm's hand. When GrimmJow halted the forward movement of his hand, he let it drop back down to his side. Silence filled the air between them which Ichigo broke as he looked back up to Grimm's face, "Did our friendship mean so little to ya?" Ichigo said sounding wounded.

GrimmJow lost all his control, and roared, "Fuck you! Our friendship, how the fuck can ya say that!" GrimmJow's mouth clenched, he ground his teeth together, as he stared back at his angry friend. He then spat back at Ichigo, "Fine! Ichigo, I'll tell ya if it means our funkin friendship." He stepped forward closing the distance between them and he got right up into Ichigo face. His lip curled upwards in an evil smirk, his eyes piercing the brown ones in front of him. "I had four partners, kay. Two lower rank and two higher, and they were Luppi, Eilforte, Ulquorria, and Gin." He growled under his breath. "But what I'm wonderin is why the fuck do ya care who the hell I fucked?"
