Unexpected problems & guest

Ichigo sat on the back porch over looking the beautiful garden while sipping on some tea Orihime had made for him and him alone. After five days of school Orihime had confessed her true feels. He accepted of course, Orihime's been there since the begining of his crazy life and he would be lying if he said he didn't felt the same for her as she did for him. "Ichigo may I sit with you", Orihime said gaining the attention of her Ichigo. Ichigo turned to speak only to be distracted by the sight before him. Orihime wore a beautiful pink turtle neck that hung on her shouders and reached just above her knees. "Aaa, I mean yes of course you can", Ichigo said watching as Orihime sat right next to with their arms inner locking eachother as her head laid upon Ichigo's shoulder. They sat there within eachothers embrace without a care in the world as if only eachother exists in this moment.

"It's beautiful today is it not ", Orihime stated as the afternoon reflected on ther surface of the pond that's built in and round the garden. "Yeah but, I know of one thing that makes this moment truly beautiful", Ichigo replied making Orihime move off his shoulder to look at with pleddding eyes. "What could that be", Orihime said aloud. "Hmm maybe this", Ichigo said leaning in capturing Orihime's lips with his own.

Lime moment those of you under the age of 18 look away

He pressed his mouth against Orihime's, while laying her on her back. Their kissing grew in intensity and soon, they began to kiss each other more intensely and Orihime responded as she opened her mouth to Ichigo's gentle prodding and when she did, he opened his mouth as well. Ichigo deciding to take it further slowly licked her teeth, making Orihime moan and when Ichigo placed his tongue into her mouth gently tempting her to do the same.

When they began to deepin the kiss they knew that it wouldn't until they reach nirvana. Orihime moved her own tongue and the moment their tongues touched...both moaned as they tasted and touched each other. As they broke their kiss, they gazed at each other for a moment. They inspected each other, Orhime's turtle neck had loosen during their act of lust. Ichigo had found that her sleeves fell off her shoulders and came half way down her arms only to be stopped by her breast. He could only imagine what they looked, feel, and tasted like. She noticed the look Ichigo is currently giving her as she looked toward the object that caught his eyes.

Only to find he is staring at her breast. "It's ok Ichigo, you can do with them as you please just be gentle ok", Orihime said as she took off her sweater. "Are you sure Orihime, I mean we don't have to if you don't want to", Ichigo replied with a hint of concern. "It's find really Ichigo I've always dreamt of us being together and now we are", Orihime said smiling beautifully. "Well you guy's may not think it's a problem with having sex now our back porch, but I do", said the familiar voice of Tatsuki.

Lime time over (great job Tatsuki for ruining a beautiful moment)

Both teens paused as they turn to find Tatsuki, Chad, and Uryu standing just a few feet away. "I thought you guy's were at the store", Ichigo said as he began to sweat with Tatsuki smiling so sweetly. "We came back just in time to find Orihime and you shacking up in the backyard", yelled Tatsuki. 'Great just what I need mama Tatsuki cock blocking me with only a few days before we have that match with Rias and Sona", Ichigo thought. "Ichigo, do you feel that energy", Chad asked as he look toward the church within the distance. "Yeah it feels as if Rias decided to move against the fallen angels, but I think that we focus on the visitor that came to speak with us so how about you come out", Ichigo said gaining the attention of his friends.

"It appears that hiding from you would be pointless would not Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki", said a tall man appearing to be in his late twenties with average build, black hair, golden bangs and black goatee. He also possesses twelve jet-black feathered wings that grows out of his back. He wore dark red leather coat with bblack leather accessories and belts wrapped around his waist and arms, grey dress pants with black leather accessories around his ankles and brown dress shoes.

With the man out of hiding everyone could feel the spiritual energy coming off him. They've activated their skills and/or powersto defend themselfs. Uryu drew his Heilig Bogen and created a Heilig Pfeil as he stood behind Ichigo's right shoulder. Orihime moved toward Ichigo's left giving her a perfect vantage to attack, defend, or heal anyone. Tatsuki released her improved Ten no kishi no yoroi as she moved to protect Orihime. Chad's right arm changed to Brazo Derecha de Gigante as he moved in front of everyone. "Easy I am not here to fight anyone just the opposite really", the man stated wavy his hands in front of himself.

"Then tells us who you are as well to why your here", Ichigo said. "Very well the name is Azazel it's a pleasure to meet you", Azazel said with a bow. "And for the reason I'm here is to ask one Ichigo Kurosaki for a favor", Azazel continue as he raised his head. 'A favor form the former Governor General of both the Fallen Angels and the Grigori', the old man said with a skeptical looked. 'Yeah what the old man said king, I mean what the real motive', Shiro said to Ichigo. "What's this favor you want to ask me Azazel", Ichigo said. He lowered his hand to his side showing his friends that Azazel is telling the truth as well to tell them to be ready in case trouble goes down. "My favor is to save a comrade of my by the name of Raynare", Azazel ask. As he looked to Ichigo hoping he will for if he does not then his fears that the last of his loyal followers will die.

"Very well but, I expected you to explain why after I return with your friend", Ichigo said. Surprise by what he heard, Azazel went to thanked Ichigo only for Ichigo to shunpo toward the church to retrieve this Raynare chick.

At the church during the final battle with Raynare and Issei

It appear to Raynare that she will not only lose this battle against Issei but, lose the opportunity to complete her lord Azazel's final requested. "Rias please finish this for me please because I can't find it within me to kill her even though she hurt Asia", Issei said looking to Asia's body. "Very well Issei but, I hope that after this you realize that even though your heart is in the right place you will have to end your own battles", Rias said. 'So this is the end please forgive me lord Azazel and I hope that we will meet within the next life', Raynare thought. As she closed her eyes flashbacks to all the times her lord Azazel taught her.

Rias summon the power of destruction within her hand, took aim then fired the sphere of massive energy. Raynare took one last breath as she waited for the sweet embrace of death. But only for it to be denied as she was in the arm of what look to be a handsome man with orange shoulder lenght hair cutting the sphere of death with a single swing of a short sword. Those within the general area were stunned by the sudden appearance of an immense power where the blast was. But what they saw shock them far more then they would have thought.

There stood Ichigo clad in white armor covering his chest, arms, shoulders, and feet, with stripe running across his face. Underneath this, he wears a completely black bodysuit. The badge he usually carries grows a medium-sized, black, machete-like blade, with a sliver edge, simple white cloth-wrapping around the hilt, and a flat base. The badge itself becomes the guard, with a black cross marking on it. Finally hung across Ichigo's back is a white sheath.

The shock for the man she found to be her friend only made her say two words. "Why Ichigo", Rias question. Those two words in which Ichigo could only respond back with is "Sorry Rias I know said I would not intrude in your problems with out a good reason but, this would be one of those "I'll tell you later" kinda of deals".

Rias knew what Ichgio said is true but still 'Why would Ichigo save a fallen angel', she thought to herself. Rias also knew she or her peerage could not stand against him."Fine by me but, I will be expecting an explanation", Rias replied. "Thank you Rias, now you must be Raynare", Ichigo said looking at the beaten fallen angel.

Raynare could only shake as she stared in awe at figure before her. Ichigo sheathed his sword and lift Raynare up in his arms holding her princess-style. "Hold tight", Ichigo said not waiting for a reply he shunpo out off the church.

Back at Ichigo's house

"So what your saying is that your companion was tricked by one of the current leader of the Grigori and Fallen Angels, Kokabiel to kill Issei and obtain Asia's sacred gear", Uryu repeated of what Azazel told him, "And you believe that this plan is but, one piece of the puzzel", only for Tatsuki finished. "Yeah that pretty much somes it up", Azazel said while sipping the tea Orihime gave him earlier.

"Special deliver for a Mr. Azazel", Ichigo said appearing with a young woman held within his arms. "Ichgio", everyone yelled. The young fallen angel looked to see a group of people walking out to see if Ichigo (who she assume to be the man who saved her) was wounded. Azazel walked onto the pourch to see that Ichigo had done what he asked. "Raynare, I'm glad to see that you are alive", Azazel said as he came face to face with his loyal commrade. "Lord Azazel, but how we had all thought that you die", Raynare question.

"That's a long story so to make it short Kokabiel betried me while spreading false rumors of my death", Azazel respond as he walked toward Ichigo. "Ichigo Kurosaki I, Azazel former leader of the Grigori, can't begin to thank you for what you've done for sweet Raynare and myself, If there's anything you need please just ask and we'll follow", Azazel said as he bow to Ichigo. "It's find Azazel you don't have to bow please raise yourself I was not one for formalities, but I do believe there is something you could do to make it even steven with us", Ichigo said.

A/N; Well what could it be that Ichigo want from Azazel and what will Ichigo say to Rias that will not cause problems between each other? Find out in the next chapter of Three Factions becomes Six.
