Bonding of the twin souls

Grimmjow was walking down the many halls of his castle, his eyes frantically searching for any signs of an orange mop of hair. Ichigo had been gone since their morning meal and he hadn't attempted to tell them where he was at either, and now the blue haired panther was becoming increasingly worried about his much beloved mate.

He had asked everyone, including Kenpachi and his men but no-one seemed to know where he was. Grimmjow was so lost in thought that he didn't realize what happened until he made impact with the floor together with Isshin whom he had bumped into.

"Oh my, forgive me your majesty. I was not watching my step," Isshin apologized and extended his hand to help the young man to his feet.

"Oh no, the fault lies with me. I was lost in thought," Grimmjow replied, a worried scowl knitting his brows together.

"Is there something bothering you sir?" Isshin asked, his parental instinct having no trouble distinguishing the emotion written in the young King's face.

"I can't find Ichigo anywhere, he's been gone since our morning meal," Grimmjow replied looking at Ichigo's sire hoping the man would have an idea where he was.

"Ah, I would have thought it was something more important," Isshin said calmly and crossed his arms with a friendly and knowing smile on his face.

"How can it not be important, your son has been gone since morning!" Grimmjow yelled in an exasperated voice pointing a shaky finger at Isshin.

"Calm down your highness, Ichigo is perfectly fine," Isshin said.

"How do you know?" Grimmjow demanded.

"I know because he told me where he was off to after breakfast," Isshin calmly stated and smirked at Grimmjow.

"Then where is he?" Grimmjow asked.

"He is in his own room, I am amazed you didn't think to look there," Isshin said.

"I looked there several times already!" the bluenette shouted and threw his hands up in the air.

"Then you obviously didn't look well enough sir," Isshin replied with an amused chuckle.

"What the heck is so funny Ossan?" Grimmjow demanded and was even more annoyed when Isshin laughed even more.

"Oh your highness, you're so naïve. To think you wouldn't notice Genjutsu even when it is thrown right into your face," Isshin laughed resisting the urge to bend over and laugh hysterically. Grimmjow was about to yell at him again when the words finally sunk in and his cyan eyes shrank to mere dots in realization.

"Why the heck would he put up an illusion in his own room, what is it that you aren't telling me Ossan?" Grimmjow demanded with an angry glare directed at his mate's sire.

"It simply means he does not wish to be disturbed," the broad shoulder man in front of him answered.

"And why is that? You're being too vague Ossan, I demand answers!" Grimmjow declared and crossed his arms.

"He does not want to be disturbed because he and Shirosaki are linking their souls back together after they were so harshly separated when they were cubs," Isshin explained.

"And what exactly does that mean?" Grimmjow asked.

"It means they are indulging in mating to re-establish the link between their bodies which Aizen destroyed," Isshin began and caught Grimmjow's arm when he realized the bluenette was about to dash off to stop their coupling.

"Grimmjow, you must not interfere!" Isshin said sternly, the seriousness in his voice freezing Grimmjow.

"Ichigo and Shirosaki's circumstances are very special. Since they are so close to their animal heritage due to our overly thick blood their bodies and souls are unstable. You have no idea what Ichigo has been forced to deal with over the years since he was separated from his brother. Since they are twins the burden of their animal soul was evened out between them due to their linked souls, but since they were separated for so long their soul link shattered," Isshin began.

"Due to the shattering of their soul link Ichigo a few years later lost himself when trying to defend against some thugs, and he ended up losing his mind to the animal inside and killed not only the thugs but many innocent people and children. Ichigo has resented his very existence since them, and he attempted suicide many times in the past due to it. The fact that he is still with us today proves his will to live and fight," Isshin ended.

"Why did Ichigo lose himself?" Grimmjow asked, obviously shocked by what his father in law had revealed to him.

"As you probably know both my sons and I possess the ability to take on the form of a full cheetah, and the evolved form of our ears and tails being shown and our body morphing resulting in a humanoid cheetah," Isshin began.

"The reason we can do that is because ever since our kind was driven near complete annihilation, we were forced into mating our own siblings as a manner to replenish our severely lowered numbers. Since then it has been branded into our instincts to mate the one closest to us, and after generations I was the first to go against that instinct and mate Ichigo's mother. We never expected her to actually conceive because she was an eagle, but the Soul King saw fit to bless us with unique cubs," Isshin continued.

"However due to this my children have been burdened by incredibly strong instincts and if they lower their guard for even the blink of an eye, the animal soul will consume the human one. Reverting to our animal form always comes with the risk of losing our human soul to the animal and with the way Ichigo frequently does so he continues to expose himself to his animal side," Isshin said taking a long break.

"Ichigo and Shiro's souls were bonded the moment they were born, allowing them to feel each others pain, read each others thoughts and tell when their other half would be in danger. This link also allowed them to protect each other from the animal part of their soul's influence, creating a very fine balance. When their soul link was destroyed it disrupted that balance and since then everyday has been a constant fight for Ichigo and Shiro to keep their human mindset. As we speak they are trying to rebuild this very important link, and it is best done by indulging in each other physically. I will not allow you to disturb them. Ichigo and Shiro love each other as more than just siblings, and it shall remain that way. It does not mean he no longer loves you, Starrk or Toshiro, it is just how his nature is," Isshin ended and patiently waited for Grimmjow to get the full picture.

"I understand. Very well, I shall leave them be," Grimmjow replied before giving a grateful smile to his mate's sire. He was about to head for his office, his mind spinning with the new information when something revealed itself to him.

That fateful day when they had first met and he had sunk his fangs into Ichigo's jugular, the young cheetah had been well on his way to complete regression. And then those words the caracal had spoken, he knew now that he had hindered Ichigo from causing another massacre and saved him from yet another burden to carry on his young shoulders.

Grimmjow was awe-stricken, his entire being beginning to fill with respect and a terrible ache. His heart ached for the suffering Ichigo, how could he not have realized that behind the beauty of the cheetah laid a tormented soul who's past was less than desirable.

Unbeknownst to the young King a tear rolled down his cheek, and it was noticed by his loyal guardian whom had eavesdropped on his conversation with Isshin, his King's emotions reflected in his own face at the shocking truth. The knight and the King were left with much to think about that day, as they waited for the twin's to come out of their chambers.

~~~~BMBD~~~~

Ichigo moaned lustfully at the devious porcelain fingers that ran across is scarred yet sensitive skin. Predatory golden locked with his warm chocolate brown as a mane of white tickled his skin, the hair tie long gone as Ichigo loved to see his brother's beautiful hair catch the light in the most sensual ways possible. Just by the light touches he received he could already feel the nudging of his soul as it eagerly reached out for its dear counterpart.

Small enticing grunts and purrs left the far depths of Shiro's strong lungs as he worked his brother's skin. Both of their hives were so heavily scarred, the scars memories of the endless battles they had fought against others and the one they had fought against each other. Shiro knew exactly which scars had been left by his claws, and vice versa. His hand and body trembled as he traced those very same scars, the memories running through him making a single tear taint Ichigo's marred skin.

"Shiro?" Ichigo voiced with concern as he locked eyes with Shiro.

It was well hidden, but deep in those golden depths he could see how pained Shiro was. Ichigo. Ichigo let out a slightly distressed whine before he sat up and pulled his brother with him, dragging him into a warm and desperate embrace. Shiro was completely still for a moment before he accepted the hug of forgiveness, burying his head in the crook of Ichigo's neck, his ashen mane framing Ichigo's shoulder as silent sobs left him. For Shiro to show his emotions so clearly was a huge alert to how bad the albino really had it and Ichigo licked at his brother's sensitive ears while running his pointed nails through his mane.

"Shhhhh," Ichigo soothed, his velvet voice going straight to Shiro's heart. "You know what happened was not your fault or mine. I would never hold it against you, you're my dear brother," Ichigo purred into Shiro's twitching ears.

"M sorry King, here I am, goin' all sentimental on ya. I probably ruined yer mood already," Shiro excused himself.

"Baka," Ichigo chuckled. "There is nothing you could do to ever make me refuse you, nor could you ever ruin my mood by gracing me with your hidden feelings. I love it when you open up to me Shi, it makes me feel more deeply connected to you," Ichigo said with a happy tone, smiling warmly at Shiro who eyed him with a look of disbelief.

"Now don't leave me hanging Shi, I've been yearning for you for so long," Ichigo purred, his voice sultry and seductive as he put a finger to his lips and parted them slightly.

Shiro snapped out of his emotional haze and growled in a show of dominance at his otouto, before resuming his previous course of actions. It didn't take long for Ichigo to be a panting mess, sweat lacing his skin as he writhed and squirmed under his brother's touch. Ichigo mewled softly when Shiro finally paid attention to his swollen member and began pumping it softly; his clawed finger running through Ichigo's slit carefully making delightful shivers go through his little brother's frame.

At the same time he pumped himself until beads of pre-cum began streaming and he coated the fingers of his free hand with his bodily fluids, sensually circling Ichigo's puckered entrance and easing a digit inside when Ichigo mewled softly at him. Shiro purred seductively at his brother before he gracefully lowered his mouth with the navy blue tongue down onto his brother's begging member, his throat easily adjusting so that he could deep throat his brother.

Ichigo let out a long wanton moan as Shiro's sinful tongue swirled around him while he bobbed up and down, and his toes curled together with his slightly arching back as the boiling in his stomach grew to incredibly large levels. Ichigo never even realized Shiro had eased three fingers inside him before he hit Ichigo's prostate and the golden cheetah came hard into his brother's mouth.

Shiro moaned loudly when he felt the first few strings of their soul link melting together again for the first time in too long. Ichigo did the same and relaxed back into the comfortable bed as he rode the waves of his orgasm. He then let out a wanton whine and looked at Shiro with pleading eyes. Shiro smirked and leaned forward to engage with his brother in a sensual waltz of tongue's, his navy tongue going deep into Ichigo's warm cavern mapping out his mouth along the way.

Ichigo happily welcomed the slick muscle and curled his own tongue around Shiro's, both of them drowning moans in their counterpart's mouth while they danced. They released each other with a wet pop, a string of saliva connecting their open mouths as they panted.

"Shi," Ichigo whined spreading his legs invitingly. "I can't wait anymore, I feel so empty without you," Ichigo begged and reached out for his pale copy.

Not one for emotional talking during the act Shiro answered by snarling possessively and repositioning himself to lay comfortably between Ichigo's legs, running his tortured and neglected member over Ichigo's twitching entrance. Ichigo whined at his brother and was rewarded with a sting of pain mixed together with incredible pleasure as he was finally united with his brother, their link being fed greatly already.

"Haaaaaahn…n-ah…Shiro…hah-ah," Ichigo moaned loudly when Shiro began thrusting in and out at a slow pace, the tip of his cock just barely brushing against Ichigo's center of pleasure.

"Nnngh…so incredibly hah-nh…tiiiiiight," Shiro ground out as he continued to move in and out of his brother's incredibly warm cavern in sensual waves.

Ichigo was digging his fingers into the mattress, shredding it making feathers pop out while his toes curled due to the intense pleasure he received. While his brother thrust in and out of him he continued to pick up more and more of his brother's thoughts as their link grew stronger in a steady pace. When Ichigo no longer felt enough satisfaction from their current pace he raised his upper body and locked his arms around Shiro's neck, arching his head upwards to whisper into his brother's ear.

"This isn't enough Shi, ride me like you want me to crumble in your grasp," Ichigo purred into the white appendage and growled when a visible shiver wracked Shiro's body at the promise in those words.

With a loud growl Shiro pushed Ichigo down onto the mattress with force, pulling out of Ichigo completely and relished at the displeased sound of loss that left his golden gem's mouth. Without care he flipped Ichigo over and did what Ichigo had done to the caracal that day, hoisting Ichigo up by the hip so that the golden cheetah rested on his lower arms with his perfect ass in the air and legs spread wide.

"Oh you look so perfect like this," Shiro purred as he leaned over Ichigo's back to nip and lick at the offered neck as Ichigo purred wantonly and bared his jugular for his dominant to ravish.

Ichigo moaned deeply at the licks and nips and used his tail to stroke Shiro's back suggestively, a needy whine erupting from him together with the action. Ichigo arched his back and let out a yowl of pleasure as Shiro mercilessly thrust into him with power Ichigo had never experienced before, nailing his prostate making his very spine tingle with stayed like that for a moment, enjoying the feel of being so intimately connected to each other.

"Oh god yes!" Ichigo yowled when Shiro pulled back and thrust into his prostate again, Ichigo's fingers curling into the sheets beneath him as that unmistakable pressure throbbed in his crotch yet again. Shiro set up a wild and ruthless pace and they both moaned each other's names with each and every thrust, Shiro continuing to bite and lick at Ichigo's still bared throat growling possessively.

"Hah-hnn…fuck Shi…hah-ah….ah-nn…I'm gonna…cum soon," Ichigo moaned between his short intakes of breath and moaned loudly when Shiro did a particularly hard thrust into his prostate.

"Mhhhnn…hah-hnn…me too," Shiro groaned and thrust into his brother yet again.

As they continued their wild coupling they slowly changed forms, their bodies reverting to that of their animal soul. Soon Shiro's claws dug into Ichigo's furred sides, as he bit down into the scruff of Ichigo's spikey mane. Ichigo's tail curled over Shiro's white furred back as they both grunted and meowed in pleasure, snarls of genuine animals leaving their slender throats and muscles chests as they neared completion.

When Ichigo arched his feline back with a yowl of intense pleasure, Shiro joined him with a menacing roar and they exploded together, wings shooting out from just behind their shoulders as their link came into completion once again. The unique twin brothers who's existence was a miracle bestowed upon the world by the great Soul King, finally tapped into their true form as the most beautiful eagle wings inherited from their mother grew from their slender forms as they came into full completion.

The brothers collapsed atop of one another as they panted heavily, their bodies not returning to their human form so that they could make sure the link was stable again. Ichigo was the first one to come down from his high and shook his brother off of his back and tumbled out of the bed, getting up on four shaky limbs.

When Ichigo looked at his new appendages tears ran from his eyes as he closed them with a look full of sorrow on his face.

"Mom," he sobbed loudly, his wings fluttering in distress as he felt like the very soul of his mother filled his being, her warmth embracing his battered and bruised heart for the first time in so many years.

He let out a mournful whine before he was joined by Shiro who looked just as distressed as he did. The brother's hugged each other tightly, their heads resting across the opposite's shoulder.

"It's like mom's very soul is in our hearts," Ichigo said with a sad voice.

"I know," Shiro agreed.

"But you know, having mom so close makes me feel like I can overcome just about anything," Ichigo said.

"You're right, I feel as if I've finally become the one I was always meant to be," Shiro said, his usual way of speaking cast away for a moment.

They really didn't need to voice their feelings, with their link back in place they could easily feel each other as if they lived in the other's body and they smiled at each other before letting their noses touch. Ichigo licked his brother's pink nose before he began transforming back into a human, Shiro doing the same and as soon as they were back standing on to feet they indulged in a very passionate make-out session.

Ichigo went over to his walk in wardrobe and found clean fundoshi's, and then had Shiro tie his before returning the favor. Ichigo then did a few quick hand signs, and the genjutsu barrier fell. Minutes later Grimmjow and Starrk came into the room, Grimmjow immediately approaching Ichigo before halting in his steps, his jaw hanging open in awe.

The aura surrounding the two twins was so menacing that he was frozen in his step. Even as young as they were the two emitted an aura which demanded respect, brought fear and told of knowledge, experience and power. In that very moment Grimmjow didn't feel like he could be the superior of the pair, for a fleeting moment he felt completely helpless and at their mercy and he was stricken with fear. Starrk had the same experience and he shared the look and emotions of his old friend. Grimmjow and Starrk shared a nervous look which did not go unnoticed by the twins. As quick as the intense aura had weighed down on the room, it disappeared completely and Ichigo dragged the both of them into a warm embrace.

"You idiot Ichigo, why didn't you tell me about this. I was searching for you like crazy before your father told me what you were doing," Grimmjow said angrily, his cyan eyes swirling with emotion.

"I'm sorry Grimm, I didn't think to tell you," Ichigo replied with a genuine look of apology in his eyes before he gave Grimmjow a passionate kiss, and Starrk got one as well. Both of the two were surprised when they got the same affectionate kiss from Ichigo's pale copy and they looked at him with wonder.

"Don' look so confused. King feels so strongly fer ya tha I's rubbin off on me as well," Shiro explained a faint tone of blue dusting his face as Shiro blushed for the very first time in his entire life.

The feelings Ichigo held towards the King and the Guard were so strong, and Shiro felt it just as strongly now that their link was mended. Anyone Ichigo loved, he would love just as much. Although he would never admit it, he already had a thing going for the lazy and relaxed guard with the beautiful electric grey eyes and wavy brown hair. At the thought of the wolf Shiro's crotch ached just a tiny bit and he held back a moan. Ichigo looked outside and saw that the sky was dark and he got a look of determination in his face.

"Tomorrow we will retrieve our Zanpakuto, and we shall bring to justice the one who harmed our family and so many others, including Toshiro," Ichigo growled his emotions raw and showing on his emotion was immediately reflected in Shiro's face; even without the soul link they would have still shared the same expression. Grimmjow smiled a sad smile and walked up to his golden gem and embraced him from behind, resting his head on Ichigo's shoulder.

"As much as I want to keep you safe here, I know I couldn't hold you back even if I tried love," Grimmjow said and licked at Ichigo's throat which resulted in Ichigo letting out a low barely audible moan.

"I know Grimm, and I am forever in your and Starrk's debt for allowing me into your home and rescuing my family, I love you both so much," Ichigo declared and smiled when Shiro and Starrk joined their warm embrace.

"Let's go to bed for now and tomorrow we shall protect the holy contract and fulfill the duty which the Soul King bestowed us," Starrk said and nudged them over towards Ichigo's bed.

None of them made any protest and soon they were piled together, sleep easily coming to their eyes as they had their last peaceful sleep for a while, their sleep without dreams as they charged their batteries for the battle to come.
