A/N: I've had a few people asking for their OCS in the story and to those people can you please send me a description of them! I don't have time or attention span to wade through loads of people's stories to find out what their OCs look like or act like just for a cameo. Thank you

Twister91: shut up Mal, you'll appear sooner or later ¬.¬ and stop smirking Onyx or I'll sick Ichi on you!

Malachite sighed for the thousandth time as his partner jumped at another bird rustling some bushes and watched her jump behind him.

'I miss Zaki' he mourned in his head, imagining his black winged girlfriend who would've no doubt made this trip to heck and back more interesting. Well for him anyway.

"Sapphire... it was just another bird" he said in a monotone voice and this quickly brought the blue monkey out from behind him, looking indignant.

"I-I knew that" she said quickly, trying to not shake and stomping ahead until another rustle brought her back behind Malachite. The green and white monkey sighed and pondered who'd got partnered with Zaki after she nearly mutilated Sprx.

"Lucky guy" he mumbled as Sapphire clung to him this time.

However, the guy who'd been partnered with Zaki was feeling far from 'lucky' as he tried to study some of the wildlife around them.

"Gibson! Move your big blue butt over here before I kick it over here!" hollered the vile tempered femme fatale, making the multi-coloured bird Gibson had been watching and taking notes on fly off. He sighed and turned to her,

"Yes, Zakuro?" he asked with gritted teeth, "what do you need now?" he would've added but was too frightened of the second in command's daughter to do so.

"I would prefer it if we got to the base of the mountain this year Mr Gibson" she said in a sweet dangerously low voice, making it clear to Gibson that he was one wrong step away from the Med bay in the Robot. He felt sweat run down his forehead and he laughed nervously,

"O-of course! I'm sorry that I held everything up! L-let's get going!" he said in a fake chirpy voice and he quickly hurried in front of Zakuro and up the path they'd cut towards the looming grey giant that was Mount Stripe.

Soon, all the pairs had gotton to the base of the mountain, or had started climbing it, and were making camp for that night under the watchful gaze of the looming geological giant. Close to the base was a natural hot spring, which encircled a third of the base, and many had decided to camp near here and rest in the hot waters.

One of the pairs who decided to do this were Onyx and Ichigo, who'd made it to the mountain base in the afternoon and Onyx had waited in some bushes for Otto and Jet to appear so he could attack Otto for stealing all their food. Which he done, much to Jet's disapproval, and came back to where Ichi was sitting in the camp with his arms full of the food he'd stolen back.

He grinned proudly when Ichi cheered at all the food he brought back and she began packing it away into a bag, apart from what they'd eat tonight. Onyx leant back, arms behind his head, in the setting sun, enjoying the last few rays of warmth it gave before it vanished behind the darkened horizon.

"I'm just going to the hot spring Onyx, do... do you wanna join me?" came Ichigo's tentative voice, full of shyness and uncertainty, and Onyx turned.

What confronted him was the last thing he expected. Ichigo, now in her human form, in only a towel. Onyx felt the blood rush north as well as south inside him and his brain seemed to shut down to Sprx level,

"Uhhhh..." came his ever-intelligent reply as the remaining sentient part of his mind tried to drag his eyes from Ichigo's body and up to her face, which was now clouded with confusion.

"Onyx?" she asked, clearly worried now, and walked over to him, "are you alright?" she knelt in front of him and Onyx thought his mind was going to explode from the sudden rush of hormones inside him.

"Fine!" he suddenly cried, "you're fine! Ack I mean I'm fine! Yeah, but thanks for your concern, Ichigo, you're the breast. AAAH, I mean best! Best!" he suddenly hid his face in embarrassment and Ichigo blinked then smiled.

"I'm glad you're ok, Onyx. So... you wanna join me in the hot spring?" she asked innocently and Onyx shook his head to try and dislodge the bad thoughts suddenly coursing through his mind. He smiled at her,

"Sure, I'd love to" he replied and got up. "Let me get changed first"

Ichigo nodded and turned,

"I'll meet you down there" she said and vanished into the trees.

Onyx breathed a huge sigh of relief and tried to calm himself down,

"C'mon Onyx, snap out of it! So's she's got a great body? So what? You've seen tons of pretty girls before!"

"But none like her I bet" purred a nearby voice and Onyx jumped. He turned and saw a monkey climbing out of the trees,

"And who're you?" he asked suspiciously, "have you been watching us this whole time?" the monkey chuckled.

"Well... you and your girlfriend are a lot more interesting than anything else on this planet!" she confessed then smirked. "And I can see you agree" she nodded downwards and Onyx quickly covered himself and growled.

"Get lost! Before I make you!" he yelled, threateningly and the monkey sighed.

"Please, drop the tough guy act! I'm not going to hurt you, or your pretty little girlfriend!" she smirked as he blushed.

"Why does everyone think she's my girlfriend! We're just friends! And she's married!" he cried angrily, but a hint of sadness still crept through. The monkey shrugged slightly,

"So? If you like her and she likes you than nothing should stop it, and trust me I can see that she definitely likes you" Onyx could swear this monkey was almost purring with glee. His eyes narrowed,

"Who are you?" he asked, walking towards her. "Any why do you care so much about my and Ichigo's relationship?" he felt like smacking his head when the monkey burst into giggles, "I don't mean that kind of relationship! I mean a friendly relationship!" he snapped.

"Oh I bet it is" giggled the monkey, winking and nudging him. She started walking away. as she left him blushing and spluttering profusely, "Y'know, you should try telling her how you feel. You might be surprised at what her answer is" the monkey jumped into the trees from where she came, "and my name's Nami!"

Onyx watched, looking stunned, before he looked down in thought. His body seemed to run on auto-pilot as his mind buzzed with questions that made his stomach knot itself up.

'Would she say she felt the same? Does Ichigo feel the same about me? But... what about Antauri? She's married to him, she must love him. But... I wonder...' then he re emerged from the trees into the clearing at the edge of the lake and he saw Ichigo sitting in the water.

'I wonder...'

She beamed and swam over to him happily when she saw him.

Onyx watched her body language and Nami's words rang in his ears,

'You might be surprised at what her answer is' Onyx looked up at Ichigo, his hand clenched tightly on the towels he brought with him and he walked over to Ichigo looking determined.

Ichigo noticed how serious he seemed and immediately looked anxious,

"O-Onyx?" she asked, edging closer to him, "what's... wrong?"

Onyx thought back to the many times they'd been in something together and how different and happy he felt with Ichigo, like he belonged at her side, and how much it tore at him when she died to save him and the team.

Lots of other members of the team had accumulated by the lake edge and they all noticed how serious Onyx looked. So, being the kind people they were they spied intently, eager to find out what had made him walk up so determinedly to Ichigo,

"Onyx?" queried Jet under her breath, watching her brother's body language. And soon, whispers flew throughout the camps and many gazed wide eyed with curiosity.

Onyx felt their stares and, for once in his life, didn't feel so confident in his decision. But he shook himself and stood up tall, he licked his dry lips and looked deep into Ichigo's eyes,

"I-Ichigo... I-I gotta tell you something" he started slowly. Ichigo blinked and leant closer to him,

"Yes?" she asked softly, looking very anxious now. Onyx closed his eyes and moved slightly nearer to the albino girl,

"I...I... lo-"
