Two new Guardians

Ichigo walked down the hallway of the west wing of the royal manor and passed about 6 doors, before stopping in front of the seventh on his left. He briefly relived the memories of the bison's unique and slightly rough but yet gentle touch from the previous night, feeling his crotch respond ever so briefly. He shook his head free of the previous night's escapades and gave the door a three quick knocks.

"Kenpachi-sama, I am here to escort you to his majesty's office," Ichigo stated with his formal language and waited for the man to reply.

"Oh Ichigo!" The brute's reply came and Ichigo heard some rustling inside the room. "Come on in Ichigo, I aint quite ready yet," Kenpachi's gruff voice called seconds after and Ichigo smiled before sliding the door open and entering the rather spacious room, only to find his jaw hitting the floor as a nude Kenpachi rustled through his bag for clothing.

Ichigo didn't realize he had been staring until a seductive purr escaped Kenpachi as he said "Enjoying the view?"Ichigo jumped and quickly averted his eyes and blushed a deep red before replying.

"Ah no, I just didn't expect to find you naked in here," Ichigo said and moved to sit down on one of the cushions around the low dining table situated in front of the futon which Kenpachi sat on.

"Yeah right," Kenpachi chuckled and grinned at Ichigo, he had purposely refrained from dressing so he could play a prank on the beautiful cheetah.

The bison would be honest, he'd love to bed the fiery little spitfire of a feline if he had the chance, and he would damn right try to flirt his way into the hay with him again. Kenpachi smirked at Ichigo before finding his hakama and dragged them on, tying them at his waists to keep them from dropping before he stood up to tower over Ichigo with his impressive height.

Ichigo hadn't paid much attention to the brute's body while they coupled but now that he had a chance to look at the brute's still bare torso more closely, he realized the man's rough skin was covered in scars to many for him to even hope counting.

"Wow," Ichigo breathed as he studied the largest scars.

"Did ya say somethin'?" Kenpachi asked as he had just barely heard Ichigo whisper something.

"Oh nothing, I'm just impressed by the amount of scars you have. You sure you haven't died a few times already?" Ichigo began and ended the sentence with a joke which had Kenpachi let out a rolling laughter.

"There's been times when I should have died yes, but I aint gonna go down easily," Kenpachi replied with a grin before finding tying white bandages around his body from the hip and up to his ribs, proceeding to drag his haori on top and then tying a white sash which held the scabbard of his ever present katana in place around his hip. Then he dragged a white sleeveless open thin fabric coat on top of that again, the cape being torn across the shoulders and at the bottom, featuring the number eleven written between his shoulder blades and black diamonds and circles spread out in a repeating pattern at the bottom line of it.

Ichigo had liked the man's outfit the first time he saw it and it appealed to him in a certain way as it really brought out the raw and wild brutality of him, and once again he found himself appreciating the look on the brute.

"That outfit really suits you," Ichigo hummed before standing up to wait for the brute to finish.

Ichigo was surprised to find that the man actually combed his hair just a little before dipping the comb in water and used it as a means of dragging his hair back and keep it there.

Kenpachi hummed in agreement before taking Ichigo completely by surprise as he pounced at the cheetah and captured his lips in a deep kiss. After getting rid of the initial shock Ichigo growled and grabbed Kenpachi's hands and forced them off of him, using his lean but strong feet to kick the brute off of him.

"Not here in the manor Kenpachi, if the king and his soldier were to see you with me I am not sure what they would do," Ichigo snarled but softened at the confused look Kenpachi gave him.

"Look Kenpachi, I'm a cheetah. I have overly thick blood due to inbreeding in the past and my animalistic instincts are far stronger than with most other hybrids. That reason alone can cause me to lose myself during battle, but that reason is also why I cannot stay loyal to one mate alone. I already have three mates including Toshiro, but that didn't keep me from bedding you. Though I may love them I still feel no guilt for bedding you, although some may think that would be appropriate, and please try to understand that the same applies for you. I wouldn't mind coupling with you again, but it would have to happen outside of these walls," Ichigo said with a smile as if it was the most natural thing and Kenpachi quickly got the picture.

"I see, so his royal highness would fret if I laid hand upon his mate," Kenpachi chuckled. "The offer still stands though Ichigo," Kenpachi said with a purr and bent down to kiss Ichigo briefly again, Ichigo allowing it this time.

"Thank you for understanding, well then I believe we are already late. Please come with me," Ichigo said and turned his back to the brute and walked out of the door, leading Kenpachi through the manor and into Grimmjow's office.

Ichigo silently slid open the door to his own quarters, trying to not awaken the caracal should be sleeping. Though Toshiro had his own separate room he still spent his nights in Ichigo's bed most of the time, so Ichigo immediately looked over to his own heightened futon to see if the caracal was there. Finding it empty he searched the room for the caracal's reiatsu.

Yes Toshiro had reaitsu, but Ichigo had never thought to tell him, thinking the small feline would not want to engage in any fighting. Little did Ichigo know that a Zanpakuto spirit had been haunting his mate's dreams and this would be the evening in which he would be told about it. Toshiro was in the room, he knew as much after having scanned the area quickly, and when he heard a small shuffling sound from behind him he turned around with a smirk and caught the pouncing caracal.

Ichigo cradled Toshiro close and nuzzled the crook of his neck purring, his own vibrating throat responded to by the small albino. Toshiro nuzzled Ichigo's jaw gently and looked up at him with teal pleading eyes.

"I have much time to make up for don't I my beautiful little mate," Ichigo purred seductively as he guided them over to the futon dropping them down into the comfy sea of covers.

Ichigo purred at the sight bestowed upon him. Beneath him the beautiful albino caracal laid dressed in a very see through night yukata of the finest silk, embroidered with silver dragons on its sleeves and held together by a teal sash.

"You should wear this more often Toshi," Ichigo purred as he carefully opened the yukata and slid it down of the smaller man's slender shoulders, Toshiro doing the same with Ichigo's attire.

Toshiro mewled softly when Ichigo's tongue found his collarbone and trailed it, his teeth nipping at his sensitive skin ever so slightly making promises of what was to come. The lean form of the caracal arched ever so slightly into Ichigo's gentle touch, as his fingers traced the caracal's slender but yet trained abdomen gently making delightful shivers pass through the silvette's body.

Ichigo quickly threw off the rest of his own clothing and made haste to get back into torturing his mate's body with sensual touches. Ichigo moved up to let his breath ghost past Toshiro's ears as the smaller male couldn't help but let his tail and ears come out of hiding. Ichigo knew the caracal had overly sensitive ears and he played with the soft appendages, licking and nipping at them making the smaller feline produce oh so lovely mewls and moans of pleasure.

Ichigo's groin was already aching hard, and his mate fared no better as Ichigo sealed their lips in a kiss, his hands sneaking down between their bodies to circle around Toshiro's throbbing member. The small silvette mewed softly when Ichigo's hand finally took grip of his hilt and began pumping his shaft into a proud erection, his nipples and collarbone ravished by the cheetah's sinful mouth at the same time.

When Ichigo finally engulfed the small member with his mouth, having no problem covering it all with his mouth the slightly sexually frustrated caracal didn't need much stimulation before he came hard into Ichigo's mouth. The cheetah happily swallowed the snow flavored substance and relished in the feeling of the slight infusion of reaitsu he got from his mate with it.

When Toshiro regained his mind he playfully flipped them over so that he straddled Ichigo and teasingly moved his hands further and further down while letting his mouth play with his alpha's nipples and nibble at his jawline. Ichigo moaned when the caracal began bobbing his member, his trained tongue swirling around his shaft to increase the pleasure and Toshiro purred during his actions to top it all.

Ichigo moaned softly at the silvette's ministrations and gently fisted his hands into those shiny locks of silver letting his hand follow Toshiro's movement as he arched his neck backwards to let his head rest on the pillow, doing his best to not buck his hips. One thing was for sure, Toshiro provided one of the best blowjobs he had ever experienced and control was a hard thing to keep with the sexy little feline on top. With a few more stronger bubs which had Toshiro hollow his cheeks Ichigo spilled his fluids into the warm cavern and Toshiro mewed in satisfaction as he swallowed his mate's seed, relishing in the unique flavor which he had come to love, his eyes unbeknownst to him glowing just slightly in the dim lighted room as his own reiatsu welcomed the infusion gotten from Ichigo's release.

Pleading turquoise eyes landed upon Ichigo seconds after, the want and lust swirling in those depths alone was enough to stir Ichigo's semi hard member into a full erection again. Ichigo bared his fangs in a dominant growl before flipping their positions yet again his mouth immediately latching onto the lithe male's jugular resulting in a submissive whimper escaping Toshiro's choice.

Ichigo nibbled the area and licked it, pleased to see a hickey forming there to tell of their coupling before he let his fingers linger in front of the caracals mouth, purring when a slick tongue swirled around them leaving the digits coated in saliva. Ichigo hummed in approval when the caracal eagerly spread his legs and

Ichigo gently slipped a digit inside that warm and pulsing entrance, relishing in the feeling of the tight passage clamping down on his finger as he moved it back and forth. When the feline began thrusting back onto his fingers a second was added, and scissoring movements were applied to stretch the warm entrance of his beautiful silver gem.

When oh so delightful whimpers and mewls began escaping the caracal, Ichigo lined up with expertise and thrust right into the silvette's sweet spot making Toshiro arch his back off of the futon with a strangled cry of pleasure.

"Oh god Ichi… N-ah hah…Move teme!" Toshiro moaned and cussed and mewed loudly in pleasure when Ichigo pulled out and drove in nailing his prostate yet again making a whole galaxy swim through his vision.

Ichigo grabbed Toshiro's hips and lifted him up slightly from the futon so that he would be able to go deeper and he groaned loudly in pleasure when Toshiro's lean feet locked around his own waist as the caracal did his best to meet Ichigo's gentle but strong thrusts.

"Hnn-ah," Ichigo voiced as Toshiro began timing intentional clenching of his cave to Ichigo's thrusts. "God Toshi…so fuckin…a-hn hah…tight," Ichigo panted as he felt the feline begin to quiver in his grasp signaling the caracal's second release was nearing, the cavern clenching tighter and tighter on Ichigo's cock until they both came together with loud yowls of joint pleasure before collapsing against each other.

Ichigo rose on his elbows panting heavily, enjoying the sight of his flustered and flushed mate beneath him. Toshiro's silver hair was splayed out on the futon in a wild mess and danced with the moonlight coming in from their window as the small feline panted heavily with dazed eyes still full of lust.

"Ready for round two?" Ichigo purred as he bent down to nibble at Toshiro's still visible caracal ears before his hand gently stroked his sensitive tail, making the caracal moan and arch into Ichigo's sweat slicked body.

"Please Ichi, more…n-ah," Toshiro demanded and ended his sentence with a wanton moan as Ichigo's member brushed his own creating pleasurable friction which made his need burn strong for the third time.

Ichigo purred lovingly as he flipped his mate over and hauled him up onto bent knees to rest his torso on his elbows, before he parted Toshiro's cheeks and slid into the revealed entrance. For the second time Ichigo rode his partner, his rhythm and pace wilder, harder and faster this time than the first which drew strangled cries of pleasure from the caracal with each thrust.

Once again nearing their end Ichigo sneaked a hand forward to grasp the silvette's member as he continued his merciless thrusting, the caracal arching his back at the combined pleasure before they both came with loud cries of satisfaction.

Completely exhausted they laid sprawled out, their limbs entwined with each other as they tried to regain their senses. A few minutes later Toshiro cuddled closer to Ichigo's body and slung his arm across Ichigo's chest before he raised his head to rest on the joining of Ichigo's shoulder and collarbone.

"Ichigo?" Toshiro said not completely certain if his mate was still awake.

"Hmm?" Ichigo mused and looked down into worried turquoise eyes. "What's wrong Toshi?" Ichigo asked and pulled the silver gem closer to his body.

"I've had this strange dream while you were gone. Every time I went here for a nap I dreamed of myself walking the same path each time through this snow filled, ice cold and stormy mountain," Toshiro began. "And I always ended up in the same place; it was like a large open field of snow surrounded by large and beautiful ice formations. And whilst I stood there admiring the beauty the storm would pick up and the wind would bite my skin, and then I would see this blurry shape up in the sky and a voice speaking to me, yet I can never make out its words. And every time I've woken up from that dream the room has always been ice cold and a barely visible layer of ice covered everything inside, yet the cold didn't bother me, no it almost made me more comfortable than before," Toshiro ended and looked up at his mate with questioning eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt Ichigo knew more than he let on and was hiding something from him and everyone else.

"So you've finally awakened," Ichigo mused as he stared into space absentmindedly combing Toshiro's gravity defying hair with his fingers.

"What do you mean I have awakened?" Toshiro asked.

He gasped when Ichigo turned golden eyes at him and a faint blue glow began hugging his figure and the air suddenly felt much heavier and Toshiro felt like gravity had just raised a couple of notches.

"You've begun to awaken as a guardian of the Soul Contract," Ichigo said hauling in his reiatsu while you spoke.

"Guardian? What are you talking about Ichigo?" Toshiro asked completely bewildered by everything running through his head at the moment.

Ichigo smiled gently at his mate before explaining everything to Toshiro in a similar way to how he had told Kenpachi, the only difference was that Toshiro got the complete picture with all details and info. About half an hour later a completely baffled Toshiro was trying to memorize and process all the info he had gotten out of his mate.

"So you're saying I'm having this dream because one of the great named Katana is trying to reach me?" Toshiro asked.

"Indeed, I believe it to be so," Ichigo said. "I'm pretty sure which of them it is, it is one of the most powerful ones in existence and it has been refusing any Guardian whom has tried to wield it for centuries," Ichigo said with awe in his voice.

The Zanpakuto he spoke of, was one of the most beautiful and powerful spiritual swords ever to be forged. It was the great Hyorinmaru, the ice dragon which was calling upon its chosen master.

"What's its name?" Toshiro asked and Ichigo suddenly looked really serious.

"That is not for me to tell you. All Guardians must earn the right to learn their Zanpakuto's name, and if you continue to try and make contact with it in your dreams I am sure you will learn its name. Once you've learned its name and your souls have bonded everything else will come naturally," Ichigo said and smiled reassuringly at his mate.

"But what if I don't want to be a guardian?" his mate asked.

"One cannot deny the call of a Guardian, to do so would be to forfeit one's very soul. You cannot deny the call; it could very well kill you if you tried to reject the power bestowed upon you." Ichigo said sternly before he rubbed his mate's hand in a reassuring manner.

"Believe me Toshiro, once you have mastered your call your strength will be able to measure up to mine, you'll no longer need my protection all the time," Ichigo said with a smile before catching his mate's lips in a deep and passionate kiss.

"Now sleep, there will be much to do tomorrow," Ichigo purred before he began humming a tune which his caracal mate loved, lulling the small feline into sleep within 2 minutes.

Ichigo ran the back of his hand across Toshiro's face in a loving manner before he snuggled in close to his mate and let the land of dreams drag him out of the harsh reality and into content sleep.

~~~~BMBD~~~~

Ichigo watched with a smile as he and Toshiro watched Starrk and Grimmjow grill Kenpachi on how to draw out a Zanpakuto's strength. After Shiro had arrived and Grimmjow had learned of Ichigo's true heritage he had gotten his suspicions of Ichigo being a Guardian confirmed. And better yet Ichigo had discovered Kenpachi's hidden call and brought him along.

Guardians were the most powerful warriors one could imagine, and the more their troops had the better. They were in a secluded part of the manor, a huge training area which was private to the king and Kenpachi was enjoying a hard lesson in how to bond with his Zanpakuto and bring out its potential, as well as training himself in the arts of controlling his reiatsu to turn it into an effective weapon.

Even before Kenpachi started his training Ichigo had been able to foretell that Kenpachi's reaitsu would reach uncontrollable heights and he had consorted the wise Unohana for a way to lock away his reaitsu adorned Kenpachi's face now instead of that plain eye patch, was a seal in the form of one.

The new eye patch had style and finesse to it, the black leather adorned by beautiful golden seams along the three straps. One strap protruded from the right corner of the patch and went across his forehead in a diagonal line, halfway along changing into a silver chain which went through his thick and wild mane to connect with the collar around his throat at the center of the neck atop of the spine.

The second strap protruded from the middle of the patch's bottom and went across his high cheek bones and down to connect with the collar, while the final one rested atop of his ear and connected with the one behind his head where the chain was broken off with a ring, only to continue on after it on its path down to the collar.

The eye patch would later prove to become a great ace in the sleeve for Kenpachi on the battlefield. Ichigo looked over to Toshiro and once again admired the beautiful Katana sheathed on his back.

It had only taken Toshiro a day to learn his Zanpakuto's identity, and the blade had heeded its master's call and appeared by his side during the night. Toshiro had already earned himself the name of a Guardian Prodigy from Ichigo, as he had quickly learned more than half of the secrets his Zanpakuto held, and Ichigo was incredibly proud of his strong and beautiful mate.

In just 3 days they would ride out with Grimmjow's army to a rendezvous point in which all the armies fighting on for Pantera would gather on, and Ichigo was itching to behead the man which had ruined his and undoubtedly Toshiro's life, for even though Toshiro had never spoken his abusive masters name Ichigo just knew Aizen had been the one to destroy Toshiro from the core and out, leaving the pieces for Ichigo to put back together.

Oh how he looked forward to a sweet revenge, and oh how much pain the bastard would endure when Ichigo set his claws upon him.

With those thoughts in mind as a motivator Ichigo left Toshiro to watch the training session and strolled off to find his twin brother for a much needed synching of their battle techniques and reaitsu.
