Shinji sat in a tree a few meters away biting his fingernails. He wanted to help his lover but he wasn't sure how to do so without making the situation exponentially worse. His first instinct was to throw himself into the middle of the fray and pry them apart, but from listening to their disjointed conversation, he had gathered that this was the hollow that had taken the young man's innocence, and he wanted to let his boyfriend have any sort of retribution he wanted. Had he arrived while Ichigo was still resisting Grimmjow, he would have intervened, but his boyfriend was already moaning wantonly for the large dangerous creature sucking his cock when he got there, making him second guess a rescue attempt.

He wondered how long it would last, how far his lover would go with the creature. They were as fascinating as they were unnerving to watch. The espada seemed equally aroused and displeased by the situation and was apparently unwilling to leave. Shinji knew that while the arrancar each had their own set of ethics, but he doubted that there were many who would do what this one was doing.

The comment that a lot about Ichigo had changed since the last time Grimmjow saw him without pants made Shinji cringe a little. Sure, getting the young man to open up and explore his more sensual side had been fun, but he didn't like the way Ichigo made it sound like his experiences up to that point had somehow prepared him to face this 'attacker' again.

Then, he tried not to laugh at the espada's intimidated and incredulous expression after the orgasm that sent Ichigo into unconsciousness. This guy obviously got more than he bargained for, but as far as Shinji was concerned, it was better than he deserved.

He had been hoping that would be his chance, that the espada would make his exit and he could swoop in and reclaim his lover. No such luck. He nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw those golden eyes crack and the wicked grin just below, and he felt sick to his stomach.

He had waited too long and now that the hollow was out, Shinji could tell that it wasn't a lack of effort on the espada's part that had allowed it. It was the fact that he was an espada and that Ichigo had been too wary of the larger man to give back any of the reiatsu that he had gotten through their exchange. All that pent up hollow energy meant only one thing.

The fact that the espada didn't seem inclined to fight Ichigo's hollow was what made Shinji's hesitation to intervene continue in hopes that they would wear each other out before things got much worse. He prayed that at that point, it would only be a matter of waiting until the espada passed out and stepping in because it was apparent that pulling them apart at this point might be akin to suicide.

He began wishing once again that he had stepped in when he felt another espada level reitsu approach and began to wonder when it stopped about the same distance away that he was hiding, but in a different direction. How many spectators would the unusual couple draw before things were resolved?

That question quickly left his mind when the second arancar approached the pair with the information that it was time for Grimmjow to leave. That made Shinji breath a sigh of relief right up until the dark-haired espada grabbed his lover's collar and forcefully pulled him upward.

He nearly lunged across the distance to prevent his lover from receiving any further abuse at the hands of these two. When the hollow pounced on the second arancar, he did finally take action. He carefully sauntered into the clearing even though drawing any closer than he already had would impair his judgment more than the young man's feverish reiatsu already had.

"Oi," he called as the green cero started to form.

"Boy, I'm popular tonight," the hollow giggled foolishly. "I wonder how many other loves I could call here."

"I'm the last one," Shinji informed seriously. "You know you won't need anybody else after me." He would be extremely exhausted afterward, but he had the capability to make Ichigo spend the hollow reiatsu that kept his consciousness imprisoned.

"Good, I'll get to ya after I'm done with this sweet piece of ass," he boldly reached down and roughly grabbed Ulquiorra's butt with both hands.

The subsequent flinch of the sudden groping almost made Ulquiorra release his cero, but not quite. Instead, he turned his head slightly to look at the man who had just approached. "You want this piece of trash?" he offered.

"I'm here for Ichigo, but I'll take his hollow too, since it's a package deal," he bitterly replied.

Ulquiorra's cero faded and he attempted to get up off the young man.

"I don't think so," the hollow rolled them over again.

"You know he can't really help you. In fact, these two are only making it worse," Shinji chided as he leaned down and started to sensually run his fingers through his lover's fiery hair.

"Not worse. Better. I've never felt so alive!" the hollow raved. "With these two, I could probably go for days!"

The blond grumbled and rolled his eyes. "I don't want to have to fight you about this but either way, you're leaving here with me," he informed flatly.

The hollow, finally sensing the seriousness behind the vizard's voice, frowned. "What I told ya that these were the bastards who raped your precious berry-tan?"

Grimmjow snickered at the word precious but was ignored.

"I know who they are," Shinji snapped, finally tearing the teen's body off the fourth espada. "And it doesn't change anything. I'm not here to satisfy your need for revenge."

"Then why are you here?" Ulquiorra questioned as he carefully put some distance between himself and the vizards.

"To keep Ichigo from doing something he might regret," the blond retorted.

Ulquiorra finished brushing himself off and when it looked like the blonde man had sufficiently subdued the teen, he made his way over to Grimmjow. "Get up," he ordered the larger man before turning back to the vizard. "And for the record, that boy was perfectly willing to be had by both of us."

"At least part of'em was anyway," Grimmjow added bitterly as he stood.

"Just get the hell out of here," Shinji growled. It was getting difficult to hold the hollow back and their continued presence was only making it more difficult.

As the espada left, the hollow shouted, "Yer just lucky this bastard showed up or you'd both be more than used up by the time I was done with ya!" Once they were gone, he leapt upon the blonde vizard. "You had no right to interfere!" he reeled back to punch the older man in the jaw.

The blow was barely deflected. "You know I had to step in. You're lucky I waited as long as I did. I probably should have stopped you sooner," he muttered.

"Perv. How long were you watchin' me pound the hell outta that blue-haired bitch?" the hollow taunted.

"Long enough to know that Ichigo wouldn't regain consciousness with them around," Shinji replied. "Now, where would you like to go?" he diverted.

The hollow eyed the blonde man suspiciously. "I ain't goin' anywhere with a kill joy like you." He turned and started to stalk off. He didn't know where he would go but that didn't matter. All that matter to him at this point was ditching Shinji and finding someone else to satisfy him.

The older vizard grabbed his lover's arm and turned him back around. "I just want to make sure you end up some place safe. I won't stick around if you don't want me to," he regretfully proposed but he had to tear his eyes away a moment later. The young man's reiatsu was almost starting to overwhelm him and he was beginning to regret his decision against at least asking someone to come with him.

With a malicious grin, the hollow lifted the blonde man's chin to force eye contact once again. "Yer pathetic," he spat. "You don't really give a damn about the King. You just can't stay away," he let his espada amplified energy flair and watched the older man's knees nearly give in response.

Shinji felt his stomach turn and his hand fell away from his lover's arm. "Fine, do what you want," he grumbled. He wanted to start stalking away but he was too drawn to the other vizard that he couldn't bring himself to move away.

"Tch, you'll probably just follow me anyway. How is that anyway, being completely addicted to somebody who can't even fathom how you feel?" the hollow continued to taunt. To emphasize his point, he pressed his body against the fair man's, pushing his hip against the other's erection. "Heh, you're even harder than I am."

"I just wanted those guys to leave. Do what you want from here," Shinji cringed as he spoke because even just that rude attention made him want to cum in his pants.

"Really..." The hollow didn't sound convinced, but he was more than willing to test the older man's conviction. He took a slow step away and watched as the blond's body strained to follow him but somehow managed to keep from taking a step forward to follow. "You think you could really do that?" he pressed with a smoldering stare.

The look he was subject to made Shinji feel like he was being undressed with those creepy hollow eye,s and it made him shudder lightly. "If that's what you really want. I know you're piss'd that I let those guys get away, so you probably don't want to see me right now anyway, even if I am the one person who'll do whatever you want."

"What if that's the problem?" The hollow proposed haughtily. He had intended to storm off but leading the other man on was just too much fun to to resist completely.

"What do you mean?" Shinji tried not to snap. He could tell the hollow was messing with him, egging him on with his energy while verbally putting him off.

"I mean, what if i want a less cooperative partner?" he crudely proposed.

Shinji frowned deeply. With a threat like that, he would definitely be compelled to follow the hollow to make sure it didn't cause too much trouble. Then, he found himself laughing a little, though it was dry sad little chuckle.

"What's so funny?" the hollow hissed.

"I was just thinking I could play like that, if you wanted, but that's not what you want, is it?" he grumbled. "Go already...before I jump on you," he dismissed and actually managed to force himself to take a small step backward.

The creature possessing Ichigo's body leered at the fidgeting blond for a long moment. He was still angry about what the man had done, and he wanted him to pay for that transgression. He just wasn't sure the best way to go about that yet. Should he take his anger out on him? Or should he leave him hanging? A moment later, he decided he would try to do both.

He closed the distance between himself and the blond again and pressed their lips together in a crushing kiss. As he expected, he immediately yielded to the advance, melting in his arms. The kiss broke when the hollow roughly grabbed Shinji's erection through his pants, causing him to gasp sharply.

"So, what? You're just gunna tease me?" Shinji managed between panting breaths. At this point, all he wanted was more contact and he didn't care how he got it.

"Nope. I gunna fuck your shit up and ditch your ass," the hollow replied in a snotty voice as he descended to clamp the young man's blunt teeth down on the side of the older vizard's neck.

Shinji gasped again at the painful pleasure. He could tell that the hollow as really out to hurt him and he wondered how far this would go. He was bitten several more times before the hollow grew bored of that and pulled back a bit to see what kind of effect his attentions had. He wasn't disappointed.

Shinji stood, his eyes half-lidded, angry crescent bruises on his fair throat, and his pants bulging.

"Slut. You're practically bursting," he grumbled with disgust then backhanded the fair man.

The older vizard's head turned with the force of the blow. "I guess I like it rough," he taunted.

"We'll see about that," the hollow chuckled darkly before pushing his partner back up against a large tree. One of his hands took the older man's wrist while the other found his throat and immediately started crushing his windpipe.

Shinji was about to fight back when he felt their erections press together once again. Instead, he was left swiming in oxygen deprived pleasure. He gasped and choked for air but couldn't manage to do more than that before he blacked out as he came.

The hollow cackled with delight as the blonde vizard gracelessly slumped to the ground when he let go a moment later. He was just going to leave him like that but decided against it at the last minute. Instead, he drug the unconscious man over to the tall lamp lighting the nearest park bench where he undressed him, using his clothes to tie him to the lamp post as securely as possible.
