Hunt Me Darling Second Bite: Arrested
"Well Chappy, I hope you like this room, we'll be here a while..." Rukia mused quietly as she looked around the small hotel room. She sighed lightly and put the bassinet down, signaling for Chappy to get out and wander around. She set down her bags and started to slowly unpack, she'd have to feed soon... and when she wasn't feeding she'd have to go on a search for her necklace. She continued to unpack, figuring she'd just wait until nightfall, then, she'd find some food...
Breaking into a hospital wasn't an IDEAL plan but Rukia didn't want to risk revealing herself like that again, that cop had come too close to catching her the last time.
Rukia grabbed the blood bag out of the freezer ripping the top off, opening her mouth and downing it like a dehydrated man. Rukia moaned in enjoyment as she drank heavily.
"Enjoying your meal?"
Dropping the bag she turned around to see him, the same cop from earlier pointing a gun at her.
'How did I not hear him!' she thought in despair, then masking her surprise with her cold glare.
"Do you really think a gun is going to hurt ME?" she scoffed and he shrugged, "Let's find out." he replied.
Rukia was about to dash out of there, but before she could take a single step, the cop shot his gun. When the bullet hit her she wasn't prepared to fall to the ground and cry out in severe pain. She held her stomach where the bullet pierced and started to shake in agony. Tears brimming at the corners of her eyes as the bullet hole burned into her like a piece of hot metal pumping into her and making her slowly start to feel the pain everywhere.
"Maybe a lead bullet can't hurt you, but one filled with verbena might."
"V-Verbena?" she croaked, screaming again as the substance pulsed inside her.
"Yeah, it's where the plant vervain comes from, and I'm sure you know what vervain does." he said, walking towards her slowly.
Vervain was, to a vampire, like wolfsbane was to a werewolf; poisonous, painful, and possibly deadly. She gasped quietly as she felt herself start to loose consciousness from the pain and his shoes came into her line of sight.
"Don't move, it'll only help it spread." Was the last thing she heard before passing out.
"Ah, good, you're awake."
Rukia tiredly looked up at the man standing above her, the fact that the vervain oil in the bullet was coursing through her veins wouldn't let her move. The bars of the jail cell had vervain oil melted into them so she couldn't touch them. The orange-haired man opened the cell door and walked in, shutting it.
"I'll give you a choice, since you're a lady an' all. Tell me, do you want to be a good girl and have a quick, peaceful death, or would you rather struggle and die painfully?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest, "Why does it matter? I'll die in a month anyway..." she whispered, doubting he could hear her, but he did. Being an alpha wolf had the tendency to give one those types of abilities.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing, just kill me now." Rukia looked away awaiting her fate.
The cop looked at her, with a scowl in place. He grabbed her by the shoulder making her look at him. "Tell me." The two glared at each other then Rukia gave up.
"I lost my bloodstone some time ago, and at the end of this month I'll either become a monster or I'll be executed by my own people." she replied with a cough.
The cop watched her in silence, Rukia looking away from him again. Was that why she was here?
"Vampire... let me have your scent." he instructed, "It's not 'Vampire', it's Rukia Kuchiki."
"And I'm Ichigo Kurosaki... now give me your scent."
"Please, just so you can eat me alive? Don't make me laugh." Then the sound of a gun barrel was heard, pointing at her head.
"Either you can let me help you or I can put you out of your misery right here."
Rukia stared at him with anger, then she decided to give it a try since she had nothing to lose. She let down the scent guard she was mentally keeping up, letting her vampire scent drift through his nose. Ichigo lifted her up so his nose was near her neck, taking a big whiff. Suddenly his eyes went wide, "W-What...?" he muttered, it couldn't be. Ichigo took another whiff her neck. That scent... that SCENT ... that was the smell of a werewolf's mate... he gulped.
' How can this vampire be my mate... how?' He thought, but he couldn't get enough of her scent. It smelled so good. He couldn't control when his tongue came out and gave her neck a long lick, making Rukia shudder and gasp.
"W-what are you doing?" she croaked, Ichigo snapped out of his trance, letting Rukia go.
"Just making sure I got your scent." he muttered, covering his mouth. This was his mate... and as her mate he couldn't let her die.
"I'll tell you what Rukia, let's you and I make a deal." he offered.
"Why would I make a deal with a lowly mutt?"
"Because I'm the 'mutt' that has you prisoner." Rukia looked away trying to cover the blush on her cheeks.
"I'll let you go, hell I'll even help you find your bloodstone, but there are a few catches."
"Like what?"
"One; I need you to help me catch a few criminals, werewolves don't have the mind power you vampires do, so I need you to use your hypnosis and seduction to help me reel in a few fish."
"What else?"
"I'll bring you some blood, once a day, but you stay in my house and you don't leave without me."
"Anything else?"
"Don't tell anyone about this or I'll never live it down." he instructed, she thought on that for a short moment before nodding her head in agreement.
"Alright mutt... I accept." she replied. Ichigo scowled at the word 'mutt' but brushed it off.
"Good, now, let's get that vervain out of you."
Rukia had always been told to not allow a werewolf anywhere near her, so it took going against every natural instinct she had not to attack him at this moment. With the door to his office shut and a first aid kit beside him, Ichigo gestured for Rukia to lay down on the desk she was sitting on. She hesitantly leaned back across his desk, noticing that he had moved his paperwork and supplies to the floor. He turned her over so that she was laying on her stomach and moved the strap of her dress down to her waist, trying to ignore her smooth, delicious looking skin.
Ichigo uncovered the red, pulsing wound where the bullet was, "I'm going to anesthetize the area so you'll feel a small prick." he warned, grabbing a syringe and a bottle of local anesthesia from the case of medical supplies.
"Do all first aid kits have local anesthetics in them?" she asked as he drew the needle, "No, but I keep it stocked in the police station because brawls break out here sometimes, between wolves especially, so if waiting for an ambulance or if the wounds aren't that bad I may have to do a little handy work myself." he explained, injecting the anesthesia into the area around the wound.
"Ah." she gasped at the sting of the needle. Rukia fisted her hands tightly to stop the feeling, eyes shut.
"I'm going to have to take you back to my place once the bullet is out and I've closed the wound, I don't have any treatment for vervain poisoning here." he explained, she nodded her head slowly, breathing a little heavy. Ichigo was trying so hard to focus on the her wound instead of her breathing, which was starting to make his pants a little tighter than usual.
"SO, do you have a place to stay?" he asked trying to distract himself.
"A hotel room."
"Well we'll have to go there and get your things once you're healed up a little, like I said before, if another werewolf finds you... it'll be huge trouble."
"I can mask my scent."
"I know but still, there's no telling how someone could find out, it's just not a good idea for you to stay someplace else." he explained, she sighed lightly, "Fine, but I hope you don't mind a house pet."
~+~ (Koda Kumi- KO-SO KO-SO help set the mood for this next part.)
Rukia watched on from his living room as Ichigo walked into his kitchen and started rummaging through the cabinets. She felt horrible, they had gone by the hotel and gotten her luggage (she was glad she had yet to unpack) along with her rabbit, Chappy, but the Vervain was definitely taking it's effects and she was starting to feel really sick as it spread through her body. The pain was one thing, but now her stomach was upset, she felt like she had the stomach flu.
"Here, drink this." Ichigo commanded, handing her a small cup of dark yellow liquid, she stared up at him in reluctance, "It's liquid silver, it'll detox the vervain, you should also drink lots of water so you can flush out any remains of it." he instructed. Hesitantly she lifted the cup to her lips, gulping down the liquid; it had no taste.
"So..." he said quietly as he sat on the couch next to her, "I have to get back to work, make yourself at home and try not to get sick on the carpet or the furniture, I'll be back with some blood for you later." he said, about to get up.
"Why?" she asked, he raised his eyebrows, "Why what?"
"Why are you helping me? What's it to you?"
"I told you already, I need your help." she shook her head, "No... I know there's another reason, what is it?"
Ichigo had two choices, either tell her the truth, or not tell her... he sighed, "It's a curse for a werewolf's mate to be a vampire... you know? A living, bloody, curse..." he said quietly, Rukia looked at him in confusion.
"Are you trying to say that I'm your mate?" he looked down, "I'm sorry... it's not something I would wish on anyone to be mated to an enemy species..." he said, then he heard her chuckling.
"What's so funny?" Ichigo said, starting to get ticked off.
"So let's say I live long enough to do something about it... and let's say I even WANT to do anything about it... how could we live together?" he sighed, "It'll be complicated... I'd have to mate with you to begin with, and then ... you'd never be allowed to go back to your home. Since mating is such a big deal for werewolves, my people are the only ones who understand enough to let you slip under the laws... but I don't remember the last time hybrids were born... it'd be so much EASIER if vampires turned when they were mated like humans did..." he sighed, rubbing his hand on his face and Rukia frowned. He had showed her mercy, GREAT mercy... even if it was for his own selfish reasons...
Rukia got up from the couch, walking over to Ichigo. She grabbed him by the tie, bring him down to her level. "So you say I'm your mate, right?"
"Y-yeah..."
She turned herself around, rubbing her bottom into his hips, making him shudder.
"Does this make you want me...Officer?" She asked in her seductive tone, eying him over her shoulder. Ichigo gulped.
'What's she trying to pull?'
Rukia pulled on his tie, bringing his head to her shoulder. She ran her fingers through his hair, her mouth an inch from his.
Ichigo was more than willing to grab her and take her right here and now. He could feel his mouth watering with a need to taste her. Just as their lips were about to touch...
Ichigo was lying on the floor with Rukia's foot on his chest.
"Well let me tell you now, Officer. You better be prepared for a game of cat and mouse." the little vixen said, smirking at him.
Ichigo returned her smirk, fire blazing in his eyes, "An cop is always ready for a challenge, just don't let your guard down."
"I could say the same for you."she said, taking her foot off of his chest.
'This vampire is something else.'
Ichigo stomach started growling... he just wanted to go by the diner and grab something quick to eat... but he had to get this blood back to the house. He'd just have to cook something for himself ...eh... he hated his own cooking.
"I'm home!" he hollered as he walked into the house with a small gift bag in his hand.
"It's about time, didn't you forget to tell me about someone?" Rukia asked as she walked into the living room with his dog by her side.
"Oh yeah... Percy is so well behaved I sort of forgot that I needed to warn you..." he said, tossing the gift bag to her and leaning down to coo to his Black Lab.
"Hm? You put the blood in here?" she asked curiously as she pulled out two bags of blood from the hospital Ichigo had just gone to.
"Yeah, it's less conspicuous..." he replied, she sighed and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a glass out of the cabinet and opening the blood bags, pouring the blood into the blue glass, creating a slightly purple tone.
"Listen, I've gotta get some food and then we'll go out and start looking." he said, walking into the kitchen and looking down at her glass, "That's fine." she said, taking a sip and noticing him watching her.
"What?" she asked, annoyed.
"It's just... you drink it out of a glass...? Like a person..?"
"No, I go into a maddened frenzy and rip the bag into little pieces like a shark, what do you think of me?" she said with an obvious hint of sarcasm.
"I just... when you attacked those guys yesterday you were so hungry..." she looked down, "I had to drive a long way. I was starving. Besides, they deserved it, trying to attack a poor helpless woman." she explained as he looked around in the fridge.
"You all of them out without breaking a sweat, in like five minutes, I don't think that's a helpless woman." he said.
Rukia walked up behind him and peered over his shoulder, "Oh... so do you drink from people most of the time or is it usually blood from donors?"
"Donors, in my town there are two kinds of blood donors, the kinds that are generous and give blood like they do here, for medical reasons, and I drink that, I have bottles of it delivered to me weekly, then there are the live donors who are either kidnapped or suicidal and go to a special housing unit in town where vampires feed off of them until they die, there are some rouges who just attack out of no where too but that's illegal so it's rare... mmm... that meat there looks good, I could cook something with it if you want." she offered, swaying her hips slightly, he looked up at her.
"Wait, you can cook?"
"Sure, I can eat food just like everyone else, I need blood but I like other foods too. " she said, he sighed lightly, "Well if you can cook..." he muttered, she shoved him out of the way and bent down slowly to look in the fridge, making Ichigo look at her round bottom sway from side to side. "I'll make dinner, then we can leave." she suggested as her hips kept swaying back and forth, he stared at her for a moment and licked her lips, she looked good... tasty... and he wasn't just hungry for the steak anymore...
'I'm gonna have to keep my guard up more than usual.'
