CHAPTER 18: I AM YOUR SLAVE WIFE

Ichigo remove his blazer and drape it on Rukia. He then gently kissed her forehead as she peacefully sleeps on his arm that was stretched to her sit. Ichigo's fingers were tenderly caressing her bare shoulders, lulling her to sleep. They were on a plane ready to depart back in Tokyo. It was night in Paris, Rukia felt tired. The sudden notice of departure occupied her all day packing and preparing their things. She was so busy that she forgot to arrange an appointment for Ashido to show her gratitude for his entire warm acceptance towards her broken self. She felt really awful Ashido had done nothing but please and comfort her. He is a very good friend that's why she had promise in her email sent to Ashido's email account that when they meet again, she'll make exceptional preparations for him in their mansion. She thanked him and told him that he can visit her anytime.

….

Rukia is back in his life now. He felt so happy, satisfied and most of all complete. He can't ask for more, Rukia is beside him, leaning on his arm needing his warmth and support. He felt so manly, he felt so… again complete. Ichigo touched Rukia's hand that was on his chest, brought it up to his lips and gently plant a kissed.

She gave him a second chance and he swears to himself and to God that he will never fail her. He will love her more than any man can, more than Ichigo Kurosaki; his own self can love someone like Rukia Kuchiki. He can never deny that right now, his world revolves around her, only her. But he can't help but feel threatened the conflict between his family and Aizen might take her away from him again.

With that thought Ichigo's scowl deepens. He possessively holds Rukia's small form with his strong arms closer to his own body.

"Why are you scowling so much again strawberry?" Rukia sleepy asked rubbing her eyes. Ichigo smiled and lovingly kissed her forehead.

"Sorry, go back to sleep." Ichigo said tucking her head under his chin and gently run his fingers in her hair.

"Is something bothering you?" Rukia asked.

"Mmmh…" He wasn't sure what to say. Rukia untangled herself from Ichigo and look at him in the eyes.

"You know you can tell me everything." She seriously said. Ichigo instantly melted even if his scowl was still on, it was very obvious the tender look in his eyes as he looks at her. Ichigo with hair hooded eyes, pull Rukia back to his arms.

"I don't want you to get involved and put your life in danger." He said burying his face on her hair, breathing her unique, sweet scent. "I've done a lot of damage to your whole being Rukia and because of that, I wanted to focus my whole life compensating for all my mistakes and making you happy. But faith is so cruel to me. I've got myself, my whole family into another mess. Our wounds are still fresh and my guilt is still here." Ichigo take Rukia's hand and put it on his chest. "It still haunts me in my sleep. I wanted to make up to you this instant but look where in hell am I taking you?" Ichigo grumpily move to look at Rukia's eyes with his scowl in full force. "I believe that the right thing to do is to take you somewhere roman-" Ichigo did not finished what he was about say because Rukia's hand is all over his mouth and pressing on his pointed nose.

"Hold it, strawberry." She said.

"Bow't Wukia…"

"I said hold it!" Rukia pressing her palm even more on his face.

"Who am I again to you, Ichigo?" She asked. Ichigo had this confuse look on his face but he obediently answered.

"Maw, wife." Rukia nodded, palms still on Ichigo's face.

"Where should a wife stand when difficulties and trials comes in the family?"

"Beside her husband."

"And who is my husband?"

"Me."

"Oh, I thought you don't know." Rukia said sitting back to her seat and pulling up Ichigo's blazer to her neck as if it was her blanket.

"But this is so unfair to you. You've done enough for me. You don't deserve to be involved in this predicament Rukia." Ichigo reasoned out. He wanted to tell her so badly that he was afraid of losing her. Ichigo heard his wife sighed beside him.

"Ichigo." Rukia gently said running her dainty fingers on his sleeved arm to his hand that was now tightly clench to a fist. She entwined their hands together. "It doesn't matter Ichigo. We've finally reached each other. We don't have to think anymore of our pass, the painful marriage we both shared. I know it won't be forgotten that easily. We will be hunted with those painful memories for who knows how long but knowing that we are both trying to stand up again with love in our hearts now. Then, it won't be impossible anymore to heal, Ichigo." She move this time and cup his face.

"Let's create a happy family on our own from now on, ok?" She said with gentle, teary eyes. Ichigo move his hand and tenderly sweep away the tear in her right eye that threatens to fall. "Let's clear everything for the safety of our children if God grant us one, ok?" She said snaking her arms on Ichigo's neck and buries her face on the crook of his neck.

"He'll not just grant us one. I'll make sure to work harder to have a dozen." He said smirking at his own thought as he rubs her back. Rukia chuckled on his neck.

"Pervert!" She said her voice muffled because she was pressing her face firmly on his neck. Ichigo chuckled this time. Angling his head on his side to give butterfly kisses on the side of her head to her rosy cheeks.

"No, baby, it's what you call a hard working husband. Making his own desire come true and at the same time pleasing his wife and giving her happiness and honor of becoming a mother to his beautiful and outstanding children, to our beautiful and outstanding children"

"It sounds perverted when you're the one saying those things." Rukia said teasing her husband. She can fell his grouchy pout on her head and she can't help but giggle.

"Stop making fun of me." Ichigo said tickling her side. Rukia laugh at his antics as she tried to escape from his hold.

"Can we take snacks in your office while you're working?" Rukia asked her cheeks rosy and red because of laughing too hard.

"Of course, you guys can." Ichigo said kissing her forehead down to her smiling red face. "The boys will be with me inside, observing their awesome father as I work and you girls will bring us some treats."

"Can we go to picnic every Sunday?" Ichigo open his left eye to peak at Rukia's face. He saw her beautiful huge eyes; shinning, unfocused, swimming in the wonderful ideas she had in mind with their future children. Ichigo can't help but smile and nibble on her nose. She looks so beautiful and innocent.

"Yup, picnic every Sunday."

"Vacation during summer break!" Rukia added excitedly.

"Ok, vacation during summer break."

"Can I decorate their rooms?" She asked her fingers drumming on her lower lip as she think. Ichigo chuckled removing her hand on her lips and was about to replace it with his own lips but stopped when he heard something awful and childish. "Can we have a Chappy themed room for them?" She asked with excited eyes. Ichigo groaned.

"Not that god forsaken rabbit again." Ichigo cursed in his mind. He was about to protest but was met by his wife's hopeful eyes. He was trapped, it was a trapped. "Fine, but for the girls only, ok." He bargains, pulling Rukia back in his arms.

"Why only for the girls?" She complained. "Chappy is a guy, you know?" Ichigo didn't actually care if that fur ball was a male or a female. He doesn't like him, period.

"Him? Oh, great! I just recognize the fur ball as him." Ichigo whine in his thoughts. "That fur- I mean rabbit is not a good model for our boys. He looks so weak." Ichigo said. Rukia's eyes widen in disbelief. She furiously shook her head.

"You don't know a thing about Chappy, Ichigo. In Chappy Adventure 1st Arc, he challenged strong people from a new world of Spirits and save the Princess of Ice Kingdom who was imprisoned in the White Tower of Mentos Candy. He was the bravest character I've ever known." Rukia exaggeratedly said. Ichigo can't help but roll his eyeballs. He swear to never hate someone after what had happened in their marriage but the way Rukia admire that rabbit is making him… is making him… unbelievably jealous. Plus knowing that, that fur ball was just a fiction character! Damn, he must be crazy, crazy in love with the woman beside him.

"You know Chappy is the best role model we can have for our kids Ichigo." Ichigo heard her continue talking. Ichigo moved his lips in front of Rukia and huskily whispered.

"You know I can easily get jealous when it comes to you. Chappy is a guy you said. I'm a guy, I can't help it." He felt Rukia smile and teased his lips. Ichigo smirk, he was glad she got his point. He immediately captured her lips, tasting her, loving her.

"You're such a baby!" Rukia said, pinching his side. Ichigo jerked up, chuckling as he tried to stop Rukia's attacks on his sides. When he caught both of her hands, he pin them in his right arm pit and with both hands he lifted Rukia from her sit to his lap. Rukia squeal in surprise making other passengers to curiously rise from their sits and look at them. Ichigo was thankful for taking the first class flight they have blinds for privacy. Ichigo immediately move the curtains to hide them and bury his face at the center of Rukia's chest who was now embarrassed.

"Don't do that again Ichigo. We are disturbing other people." She scolded him. Ichigo just smirk and press his face more on her chest.

"Who cares, I am your baby." At first Rukia didn't get what he said but after a while they were both laughing.

…...

Ichigo and Rukia arrived in Tokyo early in the morning. The sun was just rising from the east. Ichigo and Rukia were both wearing sunglasses as they went out of the plane. Ichigo didn't wear his blazer it was on Rukia's shoulder since she was just wearing a strapless black and white dress that was perfectly hugging her curves and only reach her mid thigh, contrasting her flawless, snow-colored skin. She also partnered it with black and white flats. Ichigo was simply wearing his neck tie, his fitted, white long sleeve polo tucked under his long slacks, and shiny Italian black shoes. Ichigo was holding his leather case in his right hand and Rukia's hand in his left as he gently pulls her while they walk to the baggage counter. They look like some celebrity couple hiding from their paparazzi.

When they reach the exit, they both saw Shuuhei, Rukia's butler back in the Kurosaki Mansion. He was wearing a black suit. He immediately bows down to them with arms, tightly pin on his side. Behind him was a black and shiny Lexus luxury car. Rukia show her respect to Shuuhei by returning his gesture. She runs to him, pulling the carrot head with her.

"It's nice to see you again, my Lady and Master Ichigo. I whole heartedly welcome you back." He said, smiling at them.

"It's nice to see you too, Shuuhei-san. I can't wait to go home." Rukia said, taking Shuuhei's hand and shake hands with him. Ichigo smiled, he was glad she still consider that place, his place as her home.

Shuuhei quietly drive with a smile on his face. He silently steals a glance at the back of the car by the rear view mirror. He saw how Rukia laugh as his Master try to steal a kiss from her. They look like they were back to being teenagers. He was very glad that he was able to see her laugh again. Truth is, their Master is the only one who can hurt her the most but no one can also change the fact that he is the only one who can make her laugh like that. He just hopes that no one will steal her smiles ever again.

When they arrived at the mansion Rukia was slightly disappointed no one was out of the door waiting for her return. She was expecting to see even just Hanatarou but no one was there. Ichigo quietly observe his wife, he smirk. She was pouting.

"Go, ahead Mrs. Kurosaki." He said. Rukia sighed and Shuuhei open the door for her. To her surprise colorful confetti rained over her, then party poopers popping everywhere and the very loud "WELCOME HOME MR. AND MRS. KUROSAKI-SAMA!" echoed inside the huge mansion. Rukia put her hands on her mouth, speechless. Everybody looks so beautiful in their uniforms. The maids are in their black uniforms with white fluffy apron. The chefs are also in their plane white coat and black slacks. The butlers like Hanatarou were in black tuxedo together with the musicians accompanied by their lovely instruments.

The mansion was decorated colorfully. With delicious food on the table but the most eye-catching of all is the violet and orange 5 feet tall cake with Ichigo and Rukia's mini-figures on top. Rukia almost bounce in joy. Matsumoto and the others came to hug her and she gladly returns them. Ichigo remains at the back of them. His eyes showed contentment and relief. They were home.

The party started. Everyone was very lively. Matsumoto started drinking the wines like a mad woman. They were just in the middle of their program but she was already drunk. Momo and Hanatarou tried to restrain her but she was too much for both of them. So they let her drink and waited until she passed out but to their surprise, based on their observation it won't happen anytime soon. Games started, Rukia and Ichigo joined the news paper dance. And they both reached the part where only half of Ichigo's huge shoes can fit on the newspaper and he have to lift Rukia with him. They were against Kyoraku their best sommelier and his girlfriend, Nanao the head maid.

"Boss, I'm glad you are back but we won't lose." He playfully said. Nanao slap her boyfriend's shoulder and bow down apologizing to their master and his wife. Ichigo and Rukia who was gently swaying with the music, arms all over each other, laugh at the two.

"We say the same." Ichigo said and the music stops. Ichigo immediately lift Rukia bridal style with him and put the front of his right shoe on the news paper, his heel not touching the floor. Rukia close her eyes and snake her arms on Ichigo's neck. She was nervous yet very excited. Ichigo saw the look on her face, and he smirk. He slowly bends on the other side, then on the other side, rocking Rukia up, down, and right, left while still maintaining a good balance.

"What are you doing idiot, we are going to lose." Rukia firmly whispered with eyes tightly closed.

"Why is your eyes close?" He said lips dangerously close to Rukia's ears. Rukia frowned and was about to retort back when they hear Kyoraku's dumb comment.

"Nanao-chan, I think you are getting heavy. Are you gaining weight?" He foolishly asked. Nanao's face instantly turns red. They can't tell if it's because of embarrassment or anger?

"How dare you say that in front of this people, you-you o-old lo-looking man!" Nanao said pushing her boyfriends face away from her.

"Aah, aah, Nanao-chan stop doing that we are going to fa-" Kyoraku did not finish what he was about to say because he already landed on his butt. "Ouch, ouch." He said. Nanao immediately stand up from Kyoraku's arms and ignore his call for her help. "Come on, Nanao-chan I'm just joking." Everyone inside the mansion who witnessed the scene started laughing, especially Rukia. She was also very happy because they won.

"Prepare the sofa tonight Kyoraku-san!" They heard Shuuhei shouted from the other side, watching the funny argument of the couple.

"Shut up, Shuuhei!" Kyoraku shouted back as he follows his girlfriend. The mansion was filled with laughter as they continue their programs, activities and games which both the Kurosaki Couple willingly joined.

"Are you happy?" Ichigo asked as they dance. It's getting dark outside. Most of the people inside the mansion are all drunk. Rukia chuckled as she saw Hanatarou sleeping at the end of their grand stairway. Face red and he was saying something in his sleep.

"Very happy, thank you." She said snaking her arms around his neck, looking at him in the eyes.

"I know it's not enough but I'll do better than this. Every day I'll make you happy." Ichigo passionately said. They were gently swaying with the romantic, mellow song.

"For me, you alone Ichigo, loving me like this is enough." Rukia cup his face and seriously look at him in the eyes. "From now on let's not talk anymore of the past. I already forgive you, so stop thinking about it. No more, ok. I love you." She said capturing his lips. Ichigo immediately return the kiss, engulfing Rukia, pressing her body to him. He always wanted her to be beside him. Her warm, her scent, her whole being and her love, he desire them all only for himself.

"I love you more, Rukia…"
