CHAPTER 11: I am Your Slave Wife

Renji walk outside their small balcony bringing with him cans of beer. Tatsuki was already sounding asleep at their room. He tired her out making love until one of them relinquish. Renji smirk when their last activities cross his mind. He gets hot just the thought of it but he did not come outside just to get some fresh air, every time he tried to sleep the happenings of this day replayed in his mind like a movie. He was contradicting what to do, it was not his place to tell Rukia everything and he wanted to keep her safe. Telling her where she can find Inoue will just get her closer to danger. Inoue was involved in the hitch deeper than he can imagine. Taking a nip of his beer, Renji felt the cold wind hit his muscular body. He was wearing nothing but a low waist pants, showing his tattoo that go down to who knows where. He then lean down on the railings with his arms supporting his upper weight as he remember everything that happened after arresting Inoue Orihime.

…

"I will not run away but please Abarai-san, put your gun down. My daughter is watching at us." Renji followed the direction of Orihime's eyes and saw a young girl with dark brown hair, clutching her devil bat stuff toy. She was just stoically staring at nothing. Renji immediately tucked his gun under his belt. He doesn't want to involve children nor let them see things use in violence.

"I've been given orders, you understand what that means right?" Renji said. Orihime nodded and walk to her daughter. Renji move closer to the box and to his surprise he saw two bloodied pinky fingers.

"Can you please throw that away from here Abarai-san? I am at the very delicate stage of my pregnancy. I can't handle those kinds of things." Her face contorts as if she was going to throw up. Renji quickly draw out his handkerchief and pick the fingers putting it back in the box. He was not going to throw it since; for sure it involves another case.

"Can you hear first what I am going to say Abarai-san?" Renji look at Orihime and saw her serious yet pleading eyes. He nodded and accepts her invitation to have coffee with her inside. Renji quietly observe the house. He can tell that she just accommodates this place. There are still boxes that are not opened.

"We just move here around two and a half weeks." She said from the kitchen bringing a tray with two cups of steaming tea. "We've been moving from time to time. It's really tiring, you know?"

"Are you running away from us, the police?" Renji straightly asked. Orihime slightly shook her head.

"It's better to be chase by the police than them." She sadly said. "Don't ask any more questions about who they are Abarai-san. You'll only endanger yourself. I invite you inside my house because I want to warn you. It's better for you to not get involve with me. Consider that as an advice from your old friend." Orihime said distributing the cups of tea.

"I appreciate that Inoue but I am a cop now. My job is to maintain public order, solve and prevent crimes. Now, if you have more to say involving this conspiracy then you better come to our headquarters. We will hear your side from there. I am sorry if you can't keep things privately from now on. But then again you really don't have to worry unless you are guilty of doing something wrong." Renji seriously said.

"I understand, please watch over my daughter as I get dress." Renji again look at the emotionless kid. She even surpasses the coldness of someone he knows.

"I didn't mean to be rude but is she always like that?" Orihime sadly look at her daughter before standing up.

"She's sick… she can't talk and doesn't show any emotions."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Orihime just gave him a gentle smile and continue to get dress. At the police station Zaraki Kenpachi was manic. He was grinning at Renji and cruelly pats his back which he really didn't appreciate. His ways of saying job well done was also his way of giving him serious back injuries.

When the giant monster went inside the interrogation room he felt sorry for the pregnant Inoue inside. He knows she was scared of their captain. Who wouldn't be? From the weird eye patch, monstrous height, spiky long hair and let's not forgets the evil grin and thunderous cackle. He was someone you don't want to mess up. Before his captain can start his questioning, a man with spiky blue hair who smell like trouble came to their headquarters and bravely or should he say insanely challenge their whole division. The man was known as Grimmjow Jagerjaques who was the father of the child Inoue Orihime was carrying. Their captain invited the said man. Renji can never forget the insane look of their captain. He was more please that this Grimmjow man came.

"Punk, I know men like us often get over protective to our mate especially when she's pregnant. I know that because I almost kill someone when he accidentally bumps my pregnant wife Unohana on the road. It was his fault I don't tolerate absent minded people but punk you should know your place huh? I also don't tolerate stupid people like you who thought that he can challenge my whole division." Zaraki Kenpachi's face was just a breath away from Grimmjow who was sprawl on the table from the other side. His neck was at Zaraki Kenpachi's mercy. Inoue can't help but hold her sobs, scared that she'll make the man in front of them angrier. She didn't know that Zaraki was not angry at all, he was having fun, a lot of fun.

"Why'd you take her here?" Grimmjow irritably asked as he yanked away Ken's hand.

"You know damn well why I had taken you two here. Now, you better start talking even if you don't want to talk. You still don't have any escape I can still hold you in here as the former members of the ESPADA. How many people did your organization murdered? Huh? Grimmjow? Or should I call you Sexta Espada." Renji nearly spit out his coffee after hearing the world Espada. His little joke on Rukia was for real. He can't believe that he was seeing the real members of the Espada who disappeared without a trace 5 years ago.

"We will tell you whatever we know but please, we need protection if you want us to testi-

"Orihime! What the hell are you talking about?" Grimmjow shouted at her.

"I am tired of always running away. What future can we give to our child if we keep running from our past, from who we truly are Grimmjow. If Ulquiora was still alive he will also choose this decision for Schii and me." Grimmjow look at Orihime's eyes which was now filled with tears. His eyes then travelled down to her swelling stomach. He was now going to be a father his decision is not only for his own good. He was still having a hard time adjusting to the new him. He was after all the former Sexta Espada; he was one of the strongest and most feared in the underworld.

After a long silence on Grimmjow's side he started talking. The whole division was engrossed listening to his stories. It was gruesome, inhuman but at the same time they can't help but be awed by the genius criminal behind their organization. Their leaders planning for illegal operations are at its perfection plus he knows how to choose his people to perform such operation and they are not just ordinary criminals. They are highly trained like the blue haired man before them, the father of Inoue's first child also a former espada, who has a higher rank than Grimmjow himself. He died 5 years ago protecting his unborn child and girlfriend. He then entrusted his family to Grimmjow and now she was with him starting their own family.

Renji tossed away his last can of beer. He was thinking now that the organization was back and had one goal to focus. He can't shrugged the idea that they will certainly be working their ass out and put their life in the line of death.

"Ichigo, you better straighten up your will and prepare yourself for war to protect your family. Things will get nastier than what you can imagine…"

…..

Earlier that night at the Kurosaki Mansion…

Ichigo was surprise to see Byakuya, Rukia, his sisters, Toshirou Hitsugaya, Urahara Kisuke, his wife Yoruichi and Jushirou the father of Toshirou who was also the current Chief Justice of the country. Ichigo met his father's eyes.

"Son, please sit with us. We will tell you everything and answer all your questions. Ichigo and my third daughter we are all the people behind your arrange marriage except for your sisters and Toshirou-kun here." Isshin begin.

"Before we start I wanted the both of you to know that all the decisions we made from the past was all for your own good. As your guardians we only wanted one thing and that is to protect the both of you and this family." Isshin sincerely said. Rukia's hands begun to sweat and Ichigo shift from his sit uncomfortable.

"Inoue Orihime your ex-girlfriend was the younger sister of Inoue Sora. He works for the Kuchiki Corp. as an accountant. Byakuya's grandfather trusted him with most of the funds in one of the biggest branches of the Kuchiki Corp. in Karakura." Yoruichi slide down a picture of Inoue Sora on the table.

"He was murdered when you two was still in high school. We found his body near our division in Yokohama." Yoruichi stated. Rukia and Yuzu grasp for air after hearing the horrible faith of Inoue's brother.

"Why was he murdered?" Rukia bravely asked.

"He committed treachery to our family Rukia." Byakuya spoke this time. The youngster's eyes widen in disbelief that includes Rukia and Ichigo.

"Di-did you order to murder him Byakuya?" Ichigo accusingly asked. Byakuya turn his cold eyes at Ichigo.

"Use your head Kurosaki. The Kuchiki family will never use such low method of punishing useless people. Death was such a quick escape." He coldly said.

"Ara, Ichigo-kun… Inoue Sora was not just an ordinary office worker. He was one of Aizen's minions. All the funds he had bootleg from the Kuchiki's were use by Aizen to widen his influence and to transact other illegal operations across the country and abroad. He wanted to change his life and tried to sabotage Aizen and disappear forever with his sister but he was caught by Aizen and was killed." Kisuke explained.

"Who is this Aizen? What does he has to do in all of this. I think it's the police job to take action about him." Ichigo said looking at Yoruichi who just smirk at him.

"He was my half brother Ichigo." Ichigo and his sister's jaws drop from what they just heard came out from their father's mouth.

"What trash are you talking about old man?" Ichigo was frantic he never heard that his father has a brother. The last time he checks he was the only son and heir of the Kurosaki Empire.

"I am telling you the truth. My father committed adultery to my mother… until your grandfather's last breath he was regretting what he had done to your grandmother. Your great, great grandfather Yamamoto didn't want to disgrace the family so he banish and paid the woman to leave with her child. But it was such a small world. Aizen's mother married another businessman who was a business partner with the Kurosaki's. Aizen was a very ambitious young man. He wanted everything to be on his way that's why when his mother told him he was also a Kurosaki. He wanted to get what was rightfully for him. I was willing to share with him everything but except for one thing." Isshin pause for a while taking a deep breath. "Your mother." After the mention of their mother Yuzu started crying. Ichigo was stunned he didn't know what to say. Karin was lost in her thoughts. Rukia was worriedly looking at the Kurosaki sisters.

"After my secret investigation regarding your mother's death with this great people in here I had found out who killed her." Ichigo's body stiffen, Karin raise her head to her father. "His underground name was Grand Fisher. He was one of Aizen's men in the underground organization he had founded called Espada. He's back now to continue his vengeance against us." Karin didn't want to cry but her tears voluntarily falls down. Rukia was being absorbed by the sad emotions the Kurosaki's were feeling. She can't help but cry with them too.

"Ichigo, Inoue was a member of Espada. He was hired by Aizen after her brother's death. He had taken advantage of her pain and put wrong things in her mind like revenge for her brother. Your first meeting with Orihime was planned; your relationship with her has been plotted by Aizen. He wanted both our family to fall down starting from the inside, starting from you. She tried to use you, son to penetrate inside the family" Ichigo clench his fist so hard that his nails started to break into his skin. Pain was clear in his eyes.

"I am sorry Rukia-chan. I thought you two will just be fine getting married to break Aizen and Inoue's plan. We all saw how you care for my son but I think we were wrong. We never thought that Ichigo will truly fall in love with Inoue. I am also sorry son for breaking your heart I thought you weren't serious about her. I am just trying to protect you. I don't want anything to happen to you knowing that your mother had risk her life just to protect you. It was now my turn, to protect this family no matter what." Rukia can't help but think how unfair everything is for her. She knows it was wrong to feel like this but they had played and used her feelings for Ichigo without them knowing it was the most precious thing she had in her life. As if Byakuya was able to read her sisters thoughts he had spoken such unexpected things.

"Before the arrange marriage gets any deeper I asked you if you want to come with me to London and just forget everything but you refuse telling me you don't want to leave that boy. I had always given you a choice Rukia and you always choose to be with him." Byakuya coldly said. Ichigo move his gaze to Byakuya and to Rukia whose eyes were tightly shut, tears falls like endless droplets of rain. Her hands were firmly clenched on her lap. He didn't want to see her like that he never thought it will hurt this much.

Karin pitifully looks at her kind sister in law. She was such a brave, strong and wonderful woman. She had done everything for her brother. How lucky can her brother be to find such a rare friend, lover who truly love him despite all the chaos his family and his life had.

After some warnings, planning and regulations to protect every member of the family they decided to end the meeting. Everyone was having different emotions as they exited the Kurosaki Mansion. Some are feeling the determination to protect; some are loathing, self pity, regrets and remorse. Before Rukia can exit the Kurosaki Mansion with her brother Karin and Yuzu came to her holding a medal.

"Rukia-nee, this is for you. I wanted to give this to you the medal I won as MVP from a soccer tournament." Karin said.

"I can't accept that Karin-chan that's something precious to you-

"No, Rukia-nee… you are more important to us. We can never thank you enough for taking care of my brother and this family. This medal was just a symbol of how much I respect you with Yuzu here. We are not going to beg you to stay for my brother. You are free now to choose whatever you want Rukia-nee. You have taken care of us for a very long time. We wanted you to know that no matter what decision you make in life from now on. We will always be here for you waiting and loving you." Rukia's tears were back in full force. She was so move by Karin's words.

"Come here you two." Rukia said engulfing the two girls in a hug.

"We love you Rukia-nee. Please, keep yourself safe and healthy." Yuzu said. Isshin saw the heartwarming exchange a sad yet warm smile escape from his lips.

"Rukia-nee, The Most Valued Person in the Kurosaki Family reminiscent of our Mom…" Yuzu and Karin unanimously said putting the medal on Rukia's neck.

…

Rukia walk with her brother to their car. She was slightly feeling better after her talk with the Kurosaki sisters. Rukia held the medal to her chest, a gentle smile emerge from her lips.

"They are very sweet and caring. I know Karin and Yuzu that you want me to reconcile with your brother but I don't know how to escape my own remorse towards him. I am afraid to forgive because I don't want to be hurt anymore." Rukia sadly thought.

"What do you want Kurosaki?" Rukia move her attention ahead where she saw Kurosaki standing before her brother's white Limousine. Ichigo ignored Byakuya and walk passed him. He moved closer to Rukia his lips grazing her forehead. He was standing so close that she can feel his warm body warm her through.

"I wish we could be laughing instead of standing here asking you "Do we really have to end this night like this?" Rukia can we make it last somehow. I don't want to leave all alone. Please, come with me even just this night." Ichigo plead. Rukia step back from Ichigo and look away from him.

"I don't want to-

"Please don't say anything tonight Rukia if you'll just going to say goodbye." Rukia can hear the sorrow behind his husky voice. "I'm begging you just this night, stay with me."

"You played a dirty trick on me, up to now I am another ill-fated lover. I never hated myself as much as I do now." Rukia coldly whispered at Ichigo. She then turns to her brother and respectfully bows down to him. When she met his eyes she can read into them the thoughts of her brother saying "You made a mistake again." Rukia sadly nodded at her brother in understanding and walk away to the direction of Ichigo's car. Ichigo walk after Rukia. He tried to see her face but it was shadowed by her hair.

"Don't assume anything Kurosaki. I can't still forget what you've done to me. I don't want to care for you anymore but look at me now, walking and staying with you for the night. There's some serious problem within me." Ichigo quietly listen to her. Rukia's words hurt him but this is better than spending the night without her. He opened the passenger's door of his car for her. When both of them was settled inside Rukia pull her legs up to her sit and put her arms above her knees then hide her face on her arms.

"Why are you so selfish Kurosaki? Are you taking advantage of my feelings for you again? Why do you still want me to stay with you knowing you only make me remember all the bullshit you've done to me? Do you really mean it? What you said before that the whole point why we are together is not me, not you are supposed to be happy?" Ichigo had seen everything in her eyes happiness, sadness, pain, regrets and sorrow but never the look of surrender and hopelessness.

"We had uncover the truth behind this marriage… the reasons are acceptable and now nothing are holding us back. We are free from the mystery of the past. I don't want to be a slave of my feelings for you Kurosaki, not any longer. It's time to let go of everything. We can never fixed how broken our relationship had become. It's better for us to end this mar-

Rukia did not finish what she was about to say when Ichigo grabs her face and silence her with his lips crushed on her. Rukia tried to fight him but Ichigo's hold on her just tightens. The kiss was forceful at first but when Ichigo's lips started to demand more it became more gentle and passionate.

….

Ichigo and Rukia arrived at the Kurosaki Mansion. Ichigo lead Rukia to his room and kiss her again. Rukia let him, her mind scream to stop him but her heart and body didn't want to.

"I will remember this Ichigo your kisses, your rough hands gently caressing every inch of my body, the passion and lust in your eyes, the warmth of your body and the pleasure that only you can give. I will remember them all." Rukia sadly thought. She felt Ichigo gently laid her down to his bed and climb above her. She felt his face buried at the crook of her neck as his lips ravish her skin. Rukia can feel how strong and powerful this man above her. With shaking hands she touches him feeling his strong muscles under his sun kissed skin.

"No wonder any woman will want you. You are beautiful." She thought again. She heard him passionately breathe her name as his hands gone under her dress and move her skirt higher and higher until it exposed her body. Ichigo had swiftly removed all of Rukia's and his clothing. She can see how he lust for her body. He was raggedly breathing scanning her naked body from head to toe. She met his eyes that were telling her he was going to be gentle. It was the first time she experience such gentle pain and intense pleasure.

After their love making Ichigo was sound asleep on Rukia's naked chest, his strong arms engulfing her petite body closer to him. Rukia was on her side gently running her small fingers on his sweaty, unruly mane. She had given everything to Ichigo. She has nothing left for her anymore but memories.

"Thank you Ichigo. It was such a pleasant dream." Rukia said kissing Ichigo's forehead as tears run down her eyes. "Goodbye, Ichigo… I'm going to breathe for the first time on my own. "

….

Private Cemetery in Tokyo, 12:00 AM

One look at the guard sitting inside the guard house, he seems to be sleeping and ease up of his job but no he was actually dead his faith was sealed when he refuse to let a man with heavy rimmed glasses enter the property. The said man's car enters the cemetery like nothing happened. His jaguar XJ220 stops at a certain grave stone, its headlights lighting the particular area. His leather shoes tick tock as he exited from his car, holding with him a bottle of champagne and bouquet of white flowers. He adjusted his tie and check his perfectly flatten brown tux for the last time after removing his glasses and flip backwards his dark brown locks. His handsome face can make the dead rise up from their grave.

"It's been a while Sensei." Aizen said walking closer to the grave. He then put the flowers on her grave smiling at the photo of a woman with long wavy hair. "You still make the butterflies in my stomach flutter whenever I see your face even if this face of yours was already frozen by time." Aizen opened the champagne with a loud popping sound and take out two wine glasses filling them with the wine.

"It was nice to see you again. I miss you…" He said raising his glass in the air. "I wouldn't be visiting you here if only you had chosen me. I'll give my all to have just one more night with you. I'll risk everything to feel again your fingers combing my hair as I sleep in your lap after school. A gentle woman like you should have chosen someone like me who can protect you not some who only have a silver spoon on their mouth. I am selfish and I want everything only for myself including you but look at what he had done. He had taken you away from me and I'll make him pay for that. Everything…" Aizen said his expression darkening.

"Don't you worry I will take care of your children. They were after all supposed to be our children if only you let me have you. I love you forever Masaki-sensei and now that I am back watch me as I shake their whole world once again." He said pouring the remaining wine on her grave. Aizen silently stood for a while with his hands inside his pocket, watching the picture of his unrequited love. He had let love burn him and let the darkness in his heart consume him. He can never walk in the light that's why he will rule over darkness until he will meet her again.
