CHAPTER 20: I am Your Slave Wife.
Night came at the younger Kurosaki mansion. Rukia was leaning on the open glass door going to her garden. She was wearing a red, silk spaghetti strap gown, waiting quietly for her husband to come home. She read his note on their nightstand. She hopes he will let her help him.
Rukia smiled deliberately. Knowing his overly protective attitude, he will keep her protected no matter what grounds they are standing. She understands that but she also learned that waiting is not enough. You need to act and risk everything just like her marriage. She struggled, shed tears, endure pain, dignity was step on so many times, made mistakes and love someone so deep that it hurts.
The struggle is over now. At last, she had been bless.
A gentle cold breeze blow to her making her wrap her arms around her naked arms. To her surprise another arms protectively wrap around her.
"What are you doing here? It's cold." Ichigo huskily said, kissing the crown of her head. Rukia smiled, he is very warm.
"Welcome home, Ichigo." Rukia attempt to turn around but Ichigo hold her still. "What's wrong?" She asked confuse. Ichigo nervously chuckled.
"Don't freak out ok. I got band-aids and bandages all over me. It is _ Oooff! Ichigo was not able to finish his words when Rukia push him away from her, hitting his painful bruises.
"I'm sorry but wha-what happened? Who did this to you?" Rukia bombarded him with questions.
"It's just scratches, nothing to worry about."
"What do you mean scratches? These are no way near a scratch. Who did this to you?" Rukia stubbornly demand for an answer. Ichigo just chuckled. When she act like this he felt so special. He hates to admit it but man he felt his stomach flutter.
"I'm fine Babe. It is just how we say "hello". Remember… Zaraki Kenpachi, my mentor? When my dad decided to put me in the armed forces secretly? Remember the time I was absent at school for… 2 months?
"No, that was 3 months, 7 days, 7 hours, 4 minutes and 5 seconds." Ichigo was deadpan.
"Seriously? You remember all that?" Rukia's brow creased. Ichigo awkwardly chuckled, saying that it is nothing and raising both his hand to stress his point.
"I went to the U.S. to train then together with Captain Zaraki I was put in a mission. This time we are with the USMC. I don't know what and how many strings they pull to make that happen but I was actually sent to Afghanistan to join the war." Rukia's jaws drop.
"You got to be kidding me!" Ichigo chuckled for the second time and kiss his wife's lips.
"I'm afraid I'm not. Right now, I am a cop with a license thanks to my Aunt Yorouichi. I'm free to hunt down Aizen." Rukia is wiped out. How much can the Kurosaki Clan do? I mean the Kuchiki's can of course pull things like that but send your son to war that is suicidal and he is the only male heir of the Kurosaki Empire! Rukia gravely thought and still blown away by such information.
Ichigo scratch his head, too much information I guess. Ichigo gently turn his wife inside their home, and protectively wrap his arm on her shoulders. Rukia was quite for a while thinking.
"Who will manage the business?" She suddenly blurt out. Ichigo stop his tracks. He knows where this conversation is going.
"I assign very reliable people. Do not worry about the business. I had it undercontro-
"Let me handle it." Ichigo ram his hands messily on his hair. He is feeling uncomfortable.
"I would love to but not now. It is dangerous to go outside without me. I don't want to risk you." Ichigo said with pleading voice behind the tough demur. Rukia look up to him and caress his cheeks.
"I will be fine Ichigo, I want to help you."
"I know, I know. However, I will not stop worrying about you. If you are not here, you are not inside this place." Rukia playfully punch his abdomen with a smile on her face.
"You sound like you don't trust your bodyguards. I will have Renji with me. I will ask him to be my private bodyguard for now, how's that?" Ichigo's face contorted with jealousy and did he just pout? Rukia chuckled.
"I really want to go back working. It's been a while Ichigo, I miss all the paper works." Ichigo's eyes mirrored understanding. He quietly nodded. How can he say, no?
"I understand. I understand…
…
Rukia's pale hands are a contrast to his golden tanned skinned as it glimmer in the soft light from the lampshade. Rukia just finished nursing his scratches and bruises. Ichigo take Rukia's hand and put it back to his muscular chest. His eyes, the stunning amber orbs glimmering with passion as it intensify by the dim light from the lampshade. His eyes plead for her to touch him.
Rukia's hands trace down the godlike body of her husband. He is very beautiful. Ichigo's eyes did not leave her face, her eyes. It feels good when she touch him so softly. Rukia's lips moved to kiss his adam's apple and gently down to his chest, to where his heart is beating.
Ichigo didn't do anything to touch her back. He just closes his eyes and adores her kisses. It feels good, he feels so good.
"I love you." Rukia said moving her body closer to him. Ichigo angled his head and plant long open kisses on her neck. Rukia moaned which almost make Ichigo lost his control.
"You drive me crazy, Rukia." He huskily said lust drip from his voice. Ichigo untie Rukia's silk nightgown. It softly fall from her upper body this time Ichigo's lips was the one mapping out her body. He marked her, he possessively mark her porcelain white skin. Ichigo's hands move down to her ass and lift her to his lap. Rukia wrap her arms to his neck and pull herself up, knees on the bed, Ichigo between her legs as he feast on her breast.
"Don't stop Ichigo." Rukia said between heavy breathing. Her hands pressing Ichigo's head more to her chest as she sensually arc her body.
"You are mine all night long; make love to me all night long, Rukia…
…
"Be careful ok. Do not be drastic, we are not kids anymore Ichigo. You need to control your temper especially when you are fighting." Rukia worriedly said fixing Ichigo's collar of his new police uniform. Ichigo chuckled and wrap his arms around her slim waist.
Ichigo can tell Rukia is not so thrilled about his new job or should he say mission, based on the obvious deep crease on her forehead. "Maam, yes, Maam." He playfully said grinning at her. Rukia gave him the infamous Kuchiki glare. Ichigo sweat drop.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I will definitely bring peace back in our family. I will find and rescue Karin. Everything will be alright, trust me." Ichigo promise looking in her eyes. Rukia gave him a small smile and hold him close.
"Be careful Strawberry, I won't forgive you if you die and leave me…
Rukia see her husband leave in his new Police car. Before leaving, he barks orders to the guards around the mansion to stay alert and called Renji to escort Rukia to his office. He rudely ordered Renji to never let his guard down around his wife or he will have his head. These of course cause him another bruise on his shin.
Ichigo's car disappears as the massive gate of his mansion closes. Rukia was still staring at gate. A pleading and worried look was on her eyes. "God, keep him safe always." She softly prayed.
…
"Karin-chan, you have to eat." Aizen calmly said as he attempts to feed her. Karin pursed her lips close, deep hatred mirrored in her eyes.
"If you don't eat properly Karin-chan, you won't recover fast." Aizen never fail to visit her in the morning and have breakfast with her. Whenever he is around Karin will not say anything. She will just stare at nothing with hatred in her eyes. Aizen sighed.
"I think it's time to bring Yuzu here to take care of you." The plate Aizen was holding break on the floor and food scattered everywhere. Karin's right hand still suspended up in the air after slapping her food out of Aizens hands. Her eyes are burning with intense anger. She looks straight into his eyes without fear.
"Don't you dare involve Yuzu in this madness. You are crazy. You can never be our father. Remember this Isshin Kurosaki that old annoying goat chin is my father. We are a family; you can never be part of it. You may be able to hurt us but family never breaks even after death." It was disturbing how calm he looks at her. She cannot read anything in his eyes. He was empty.
"Supposedly, you are my children until that greedy half brother of mine stole your mother from me. Now, it is my turn to steal everything from him. No, that was wrong. I was just taking back what is rightfully mine." Karin's scowl deepens.
"You are sick, sick as hell. Your reasons are too shallow, love they say never meant to hurt but you are hurting everyone around you. Do you think mom will be happy in what you are doing? Wake up, bastard. No one has stolen anything away from you!" Aizen stare at her for a while, then adjust his glasses and walk away but before opening the door. He turns back at Karin and this time his eyes showed emotions.
"You didn't know what I have been through. If your mother is alive, she will definitely understand, Sensei will understand. You will never understand how to strive hard for anything because everything has been provided for you. Do not lecture me with Justice Karin. I've experience injustice countless of times within the Kurosaki Clan." With that he walks away leaving a confuse Karin.
Karin was staring at her tightly closed fist, on her lap above the white blanket covering the lower half of her body. "Injustice?" She whispered. "Where can Toushiro speak in this matter to you Aizen?" She tried to hold her tears but they just came down, remembering how it hurts to lose him forever.
…
"Thank you for your service Renji and I'm sorry for the trouble." Rukia said bowing politely at Renji.
"Come on, don't do that. You embarrass me." Rukia raised a brow at him.
"What's so embarrassing about that?" Renji uncomfortably scratch the back of his.
"Nah, the Kuchiki heiress bowing at an officer? That doesn't sound so good ." Rukia's face contorted.
"Since when did I give a shit about that?" Renji knowingly look at Rukia and they both burst out laughing.
"Shall we?" Rukia looks at the skyscraper building of the Kuchisaki Corp while Renji is holding the car door of their black Mercedes Benz.
"Let's make some money." Renji cannot help but grin, making money sounds so badass.
…
Rukia's first work is on her husband's boring office room. She cleaned, arrange his things, papers, move some furniture and add some colors in his black and white office by placing fresh flowers here and there. Rukia loosen the buttons of her white polo and patted some invincible dust on her pencil skirt.
"Wow, maam! What a makeover. Those orchids are so cool I haven't seen any of those here." Rukia chuckled leaning away from the huge Mahogany table of her husband. She approached the young half-Indian, half-Japanese assistant of her husband and helps him with the papers he is carrying.
"Oh, no Maam. I can handle this."
"It's ok. We will be working together for a while. So let's help each other ok?" Rukia said smiling sweetly at the young man. The poor young Indo-jin is not able to hold his blush.
"So what are these?" Rukia ask as they walk to Ichigo's table.
"Um, they are documents that needs Kurosaki-san's signature. These here Maam, are from the airlines, and the one you are holding are from the local branches of some of your well known businesses and those papers needs your approval, and signature since Mr. Kurosaki is not here. Oh, I almost forgot these are reports and request." Rukia nodded as she scan and read some of the papers presented to her.
"Will you be alright Maam, with all these paper works? I can help you Maam." Rukia patted his shoulders.
"Thank you but I can do this. Did Ichigo always have these much paper works?" Rukia curiously ask. The young Indo-jin scratch the side of his cheeks.
"Actually these are just half of what he usually do Maam. He asks me to send half of the work today to him. Oh, I am not supposed to tell you that." Rukia laugh as she shook her head. This person is somewhat weird in the funny way.
"Oh, Maam, please don't tell Mr. Kurosaki that I told you about it. It was supposed to be a secret. I promised I will not tell you but I slip again. Mr. Kurosaki can just easily fire me or worst tear me limb by limb." Rukia can feel him shiver at the thought of it.
"It's ok, it's ok. Do not worry about it. I have it under control." Rukia reassured him. The scanty man sighs in relief.
"We haven't introduced. I am Mrs. Rukia Kurosaki. Ichigo's wife, I will be your officemate for a while. Let's work hard together, shall we?" Rukia said extending her hand to the young man. The Indojin furiously nodded and smile at her.
"Tanaka Mujeeb. It's nice to finally meet you Maam."
"Rukia, call me Rukia."
…..
"This house in here has illegal transactions of firearms. It is one of Aizens turfs. Moreover, many of this transactions in some cities in Southern, Japan are extended. Aizen is in this city he has been spotted. So the chance is high that Kurosaki Karin is kept in one of his properties here."
"Where the fuck did you get this information?" Ichigo ask with a deep crease in his forehead. Kenpachi laugh at him.
"From you ex-girlfriend's boyfriend who happens to be a former Espada member." The beast openly mocks him.
"Where is he now?"
"Why? Are you going to beat him up for fucking your girlfriend in high school?" Kenpachi and Ikkaku burst out laughing again. Ichigo's veins are almost at its bursting point too.
"Shut the fuck up! Why can't you be serious, you motherfuckers?" Yoruichi and Ukitake with a smile shook their heads in amazement. When will this group of people grow? It is hard to believe that these men before them are one of the strongest and most intelligent men in Japan.
"Ok, ok enough of the cat fights girls. We have important missions to plan, so may have your attentions ladies?"
"Fuck off, Urahara." They chorused.
…
What is taking her so long?" Renji asks taking his phone out of his pocket. They are about to go home when Rukia forgot something in Ichigo office. He frowned when he notice three messages. First, is his horoscope? Second, is an update from his Twitter account and last from Rukia. He open Rukia's message and it terrified him.
"You won't believe me! I saw Aizen! He is buying coffee. I will follow him. I will be back soon, promise."
"Rukia are you getting yourself killed? Fuck this! Ichigo is going to kill me first!" Renji openly cursed catching few attentions. He fidgeted checking the message time as he ran to his car.
"10:15 AM and my current time is ten fucking forty five! She texted thirty fucking minutes ago! Fuck!" Renji hurriedly get in his car and forward Rukia's message to Ichigo and try to reach her phone.
No answer.
Fuck! Answer the fucking phone Rukia! He dialed again and speed up to who knows where.
"Hello?"
"RUKIA! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?" He shouted.
"I'm following Aizen's car. I saw him at the coffee shop across our company building. He had not changed much from what I saw in the photo shown by Yoruichi-san." Rukia explained. Renji can hear determination in Rukia's voice. It is obvious, she is eager to meet the man that cause everything to almost fall and break them. Renji gritted his teeth.
"Calm down Rukia, we have the right time for this." He thought.
"Rukia, turn your car away from wherever you are now and come back to the Kuchisaki Main Building. Do you understand?"
"NO! I had a feeling that he is going to the place where he keep Karin-chan because we are almost out of town. This place is almost secluded."
"Wha- What secluded? Where exactly are you?"
"I don't know exactly but I am sure we are now at the locals. Trees are everywhere here, the mountains in the south perhaps?"
"We are fucked up." He screams in his mind gripping the steering wheel hard and firm. "Get your ass back here Rukia. You do not know how dangerous you are doing right now. God knows what your insane husband will act and do to me when he knows this."
"I have to continue my way Renji. I can help you know. I can. Don't worry too much I am too far away from them. I'm just trying to see where they are going then you can to do the rest whatever the outcome of this."
"That's our job Rukia, not yours. Now get back here." Renji firmly said.
"Whoaah, I can see a very tall wall at this distance! I think this is it. Renji I'll call you later promise I won't get near them." And the line was cut.
"Damn it!" Renji cursed and was about to dial again Rukia's number, when his phone vibrated and his screen flash a certain strawberry. Renji sighed. "Talk about another pain in the ass."
"Hello."
"What the fuck are you doing and my wife is out there?" Renji's eardrum almost burst. He immediately secures his phone away from his ears. "What kind of bodyguard are you? If something happened to her, I am going to kill you I will kill you, you useless son of a bitch!"
"Look, I know I am at fault but your wife tricked me." Renji tried to reason out.
"What are bodyguards for motherfucker? I can never trust her to anybody including you." His voice is full of remorse and he rudely cut the line.
"Fuck this!" Renji throw his phone away almost breaking it at the back sit.
Mean while at HQ.
"What's wrong Kurosaki?" Ukitake ask.
"Deploy a search Ukitake! My wife is following Aizen!"
