IchigoXRukia

A.N.: This is a request by BlueShard20. To the anonymous reviewer who inquired what story I'd deleted, it was the Whackybiscuit Version of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. I decided it wasn't worth continuing while I had more pressing stories to write.

Meanwhile….
West Rukon District 2 Forest

Rukia walked along the woods quietly. She and her new recruit, Karin were supposed to go and investigate rumors of a hollow dwelling in the woods here but she had been caught up dancing with Ichigo and had lost all track of time. When she got to the meeting point she saw no sign of the black/orange-haired girl, figuring that she had left without her. She cursed herself for spending so much time with Ichigo and losing track of time.

'Ichigo….' Her thoughts turned to her friend who was starting to become something much more to her. She cared for the boy, of that there was no doubt. When he had sacrificed his powers to stop Aizen part of her felt sad, knowing that she was never going to see her friend again. She'd asked her brother if she could see him he'd denied her request, stating that her new duties as lieutenant forbade her from running off to the World of the Living on a whim. She understood that her brother was trying to help her move past the loss of Ichigo but the deepest part of her felt bitterness from being denied even letting him know she still cared.

Still, after he'd regained his powers, she was thrilled to be able to see him again and for him to see her. After all the time they'd spent together recently she was starting to see him as more than a friend. She could tell that he was feeling the same, catching him staring at her when he thought she wasn't looking.

'And that kiss….'

Rukia's face turned red as the memories of that night under the fireworks came to her. Then the memories of them dancing came to her next, her heart thumping madly. "Maybe…maybe I should talk to him after this…about us." She looked around but saw no sign of the recruit. "Seriously, where did she go? I hope the hollow didn't attack her before I got here." She kicked herself again for being late to their meeting spot. "I should-ACK!"

A black tentacle wrapped around Rukia's throat and lifted her up off her feet. Rukia realized she was so distracted that she didn't notice the presence of the hollow sneaking up on her. "Dammit!" she choked. She reached for her word only for another black tentacle to bat it away from her, the weapon clattering onto the ground.

The hollow that had snuck up on her turned her around, making her face it. Rukia's eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw the hollow's hideous face. It had a normal white face but it was heavily scarred, giving it a morbid appearance. Its sharp jagged teeth were mismatched, making its appearance more horrifying. She saw a turtle-shell carapace on its body with black tentacles coming out of its back; one of which was choking her.

"Well now, look what I have here…." The hollow threw its head back and cackled at its new catch. "Hello there, little Soul Reaper!" Rukia tried to struggle but the hollow tightened its grip around her throat. "Oh? What's that? I can't here you!" it laughed. "I could just eat you, but where's the fun in that?" the hollow asked, showing its sadistic side.

"Let's see how much pressure it takes before your head pops off!"

Meanwhile….
Squad 13

Ichigo sat up in his bed. 'Rukia….' Ichigo didn't know how but he just knew it:

Rukia was in danger.

He had a nagging sense that something was wrong. Getting up, Ichigo concentrated as hard as he could for her spiritual pressure. It was faint but he felt it from far away.

But then Ichigo could sense how faint it was growing, like a fire dwindling down to the embers. "RUKIA!" he shouted, jumping out the open window and taking off at a run. "Hang on! I'm coming!" He shouted, flashstepping as fast as he could.

Meanwhile with Byakuya and Hikaru….

Hikaru gasped as she clung to her uncle's chest. The pain inside her was growing and the pain was starting to become too much. "Uncle…" she cried, tears running down her face. "It hurts…."

Byakuya held the girl tight, his blood running cold as she began to become transparent. 'NO!' Suddenly he was faced with a nightmare. He was on the verge of losing not only his sister but his future niece was on the verge of disappearing. "Hang on, Hikaru!"

He could sense Rukia's spiritual pressure getting weaker and sped as fast as he could. Hikaru, all the while, clung to her uncle's chest, feeling weaker.

Back to Rukia….

"Glcckkk!" Rukia choked, her face starting to turn blue from the lack of oxygen. The hollow, meanwhile, laughed away while it tortured the girl, staring as its prey slowly died a slow, agonizing death.

'Brother…' Rukia thought as her life flashed before her eyes, her vision becoming blurry as she choked. 'Renji…Orihime…Ichigo….' Her last thoughts turned to the boy she'd shared her powers with, the one who charged into the Soul Society to save her. 'Ichigo…I never got to tell him…I…I…I love….'

"GETSUGA TENSHO!"

A massive burst of blue came at the hollow from two sides, severing the tentacle at Rukia's throat and hitting its side. "Gah!" Rukia gasped as sweet air filled her lungs, collapsing to the ground before she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Rukia!" She was suddenly aware that someone was holding her and opened her eyes. As her eyes managed to get back into focus she realized that was being held by none other than Ichigo.

Rukia coughed as her friend held her. Ichigo's heartbeat slowed down from its frantic pace as he saw the color come back to Rukia's face. "Rukia! Are you alright?!" he asked, holding her shaking form in his arms.

The hollow growled in anger as its kill was denied. "Hey! You ruined my fun!" Its shell cracked as more black tentacles erupted from it, this time the tips were covered with malicious red spikes. "Fine! Killing two Soul Reapers is better than just killing one!"

Ichigo's top priority was Rukia's safety, so instead of going on the offensive he dashed away. Wood snapped and splintered as the hollow slammed its tentacles at them, Ichigo avoiding its attacks as best he could. Rukia clung to Ichigo as they fled, her head pressed tightly against his chest. Despite the danger to their lives, Rukia felt a thrill in being held by Ichigo, her heart thumping in her chest.

Sadly for the two the hollow was fast, even though it couldn't perform Sonido like an arrancar its speed was good enough to keep up with Ichigo's flashstep. "Keep dodging!" it mocked as its tentacles continued to assault them. "It's like a game! How long can you keep this up until I shred you? Let's find out!"

Ichigo gasped when the hollow jumped over his head and landed on the tree in front of him, its spiked tentacle hurling toward them. Caught in midair, Ichigo knew he couldn't block it while holding Rukia nor dodge it. Holding her tightly he braced himself, intending on shielding her with his body.

"Scatter: Senbonzakura!"

"Eclipse: Tsumegetsu! Shingetsu: Fukai Tōketsu!"

Blurs of pink filled Ichigo's vision, severing the attacking tentacle. When his field of vision was clear of Byakuya's deadly blades, he saw that the hollow had been frozen to the tree, its frozen tentacles crumbling. When he landed on the ground he turned to see his saviors. "Byakuya! Karin!"

Hikaru dashed over to her future parents and kneeled down to look at Rukia. She knew that something had saved her mother when the pain suddenly stopped and she became whole again. Byakuya too breathed a sigh of relief when Hikaru turned back to normal; she'd almost disappeared in his arms completely. "RUKIA!" Hikaru hugged her mother and fought back tears. "I'm so glad you're okay…."

"Yeah…" Rukia patted her head. She appreciated the gesture but part of her wondered why the new recruit was being so emotional; they had only known each other for a few weeks. "I'm fine. Throat's a little sore but I'll live," she said, rubbing her aching throat.

Byakuya stood by and looked at the three, able to see the resemblance Hikaru had with her parents. Seeing the girl smile suddenly felt his heart with joy, knowing that his sister had such a loving daughter.

The happy reunion was interrupted when they all heard a cracking noise. They turned and saw the ice encasing the hollow crack and break. "We should deal with that hollow before anything else," Byakuya advised.

Both Ichigo and Hikaru stood up. Ichigo reached for Zangetsu and pulled it off of his back. "Stay back, Rukia. I'll handle this."

"Me too," Hikaru said as she gripped Tsumegetsu. This hollow had almost cost her Hikaru's mother and her very existence. She was going to plunge it into an icy hell like her mother showed her to do whenever she was pissed.

To the surprise of everyone, the hollow burst not only out of the ice but its shell. Now free from its cracked prison, the hollow was more fish-like with black scales around its body and now had razor sharp claws, the tentacles only a part of its shell. It stared at the four with bloodthirsty eyes. "I am DONE!" it roared, the winds shaking from the boisterous voice. "You are dead! DEAD! I WILL RIP YOU LIMB! FROM! LIMB!" It reared back on its hind legs and opened its mouth, the jagged teeth grinding as it stared at them in sheer anger. It had never felt so vulnerable before, having to leave the safety of its protective shell. And he was denied his kill again as well. Anger couldn't describe what he was feeling.

No, it was absolutely livid.

"Kill you!" it screamed as it charged at Ichigo and Hikaru, its mind flashing with images of chewing on Hikaru's corpse while ripping Ichigo to shreds. "KILL YOU! KILL YOU! KILL! KILL! KILL!"

Had it had any sense of self-preservation it would've realized how outmatched it was. Hikaru had been trained well by her uncle and dodged its initial strike, jumping high over its head. Ichigo sidestepped its strike easily and cut off its arm, the horrid appendage hitting the ground. Hikaru pointed her sword at the hollow and unleashed her most powerful technique.

"Mangetsu: Fuyu no Jigoku!"

Hikaru's spiritual pressure flared blue as ice swirled around her, a snowflake symbol appearing at her feet. Byakuya, Rukia and Ichigo stared in amazement as her spirit energy warped and twisted, creating a towering white Rukia above her, armed with a massive sword. With a downward motion of her sword, the massive Rukia drove her sword into the hollow's leg which froze and disintegrated in an instant, Hikaru's sword's freezing capabilities cranked to eleven. With another swing the hollow was deprived of its other leg.

"GYAAAAAAAAA!" The hollow rolled around on the ground and flailed with its remaining hand in agony at the loss of its limbs, sensing its end was nigh. "ARRRRRRGHHH! DAMN YOU!"

Hikaru ended her technique, the giant Rukia fading away to diamond-dust and she leapt over to her future father. Byakuya watched with intrigue as both Ichigo and Hikaru held their swords over their heads in identical poses, Rukia's mouth gaping in shock. She'd no idea the girl was capable of such power.

Both father and daughter brought their swords down, unleashing the Kurosaki's greatest technique. "GETSUGA TENSHO!"

The hollow let out one last scream as it was obliterated. As its remains faded to dust everyone let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness," Hikaru panted. Ichigo caught the girl as she wobbled on her feet, her technique taking a large drain on her spirit energy.

Ichigo picked the girl up gently and carried her over to Rukia and Byakuya. "That was incredible!" he said as he laid her down next to her mother. "Where'd you learn to use the Getsuga Tensho?"

"And that technique of yours," Rukia said. "It looked just like me. Where'd you learn that?"

"Um…" 'Oh crap…too dizzy…can't think straight…' She forgot that she did those techniques in front of her future parents, all too caught up in the moment and her mind was drawing a blank. "I uh…." She tried but failed to come up with an excuse.

Thankfully, she was saved by her uncle. "I caught her developing that move when we sensed your spirit energy fade. She fashioned it in your likeness because she looked up to you."

"Aww…" Rukia hugged the girl. "That's so sweet!"

"But how come you knew the Getsuga Tensho?" Ichigo asked.

"Ichigo, your technique is just sending your spirit energy into your blade and releasing it in a downward swing," Byakuya said, saving Hikaru again. "I caught Renji doing it the other day. Even I can do it."

Rukia looked at Ichigo's stunned reaction and smiled. "Don't worry, Ichigo. You're still the best." She hugged Ichigo tightly, making Byakuya and Hikaru look away.

"If you don't mind," Byakuya interrupted, stomaching this for as long as he could. "Why don't we leave this place? You three can stay at the Kuchiki Manor tonight."

A look of astonishment came over Rukia's face. Byakuya offering Ichigo a place to stay was unthinkable. "Thank you, Brother," she said, bowing in respect once she got up. Ichigo gently lifted Hikaru up and brought her along as they went to Byakuya's home….

Later that night….
Kuchiki Manor; Rukia's Room

Rukia sat down on the futon next to Ichigo, neither one speaking for the longest time. Hikaru was sleeping in a room provided by Byakuya while the man himself retired for the night in his chambers, leaving the two friends alone. "Ichigo…" Rukia turned her head to look at her friend. "Thank you for saving me. I was almost done for when you showed up."

"I know." Ichigo's heart began to pound in his chest when he realized how alone they were. "Your face was blue. I…I was scared for a moment that I'd lost you."

Touched by his words, Rukia put a hand on his shoulder. "I see. How did you know I was in danger?"

Looking away, Ichigo replied, "I just…had a feeling that you were in danger. I couldn't let anything happen to you. I couldn't…." Before he realized what he was doing he pulled Rukia into a warm hug. "I thought I'd lost you…" he said, his head swamped with emotions.

Rukia ran a hand down his back and laid her head on his shoulder. She could feel the warmth radiating from him and she liked it. "Ichigo…while I was being strangled, my life flashed before my eyes. I kept thinking about you. I was scared. Not just because I was about to die; but because I thought I'd never get to tell you…tell you…." Now it was her heart that was starting to thump wildly. She remembered when she was about to die and how she never got the chance to say those three little words.

"Rukia?"

The girl took a deep breath before looking up at her friend, their faces just inches apart. "Ichigo. I've thought about this for the longest time. To me, you're more than just a friend." Her hand caressed his cheek as she leaned forward, her lips grazing his. "I love you, Ichigo."

Time stood still as Rukia kissed Ichigo, her soft lips pressing against his. To Ichigo this was a dream come true, having always imagined it but never believing this could happen. When Rukia pulled away he wrapped his arms around her and leaned forward, his forehead pressing against hers. "I love you too, Rukia," he said before kissing her again.

As the two lovers kissed Ichigo leaned down and laid her down on her futon. Rukia pulled Ichigo on top of her and wrapped her arms around his neck and kiss him. Both Soul Reapers could feel their emotions overflowing as they made out, their inhibitions melting as their tongues collided. "Ahhhh…" Rukia moaned when Ichigo started to kiss her neck, moans filling the room as he reached for her shihakusho. "Ichigo," she slurred. The boy had no idea that his name could sound so dirty.

"Can I?" he asked as he began to take off the girl's top.

"Yes." In response she reached for the tie to Ichigo's top and pulled it off, her eyes gleaming when he shrugged out of the black garment. Ichigo's hands gently spread Rukia's shihakusho and took it off of her, tossing it and his top to the side of the room. Rukia pulled Ichigo back on top of her and kissed him with much more passion, cooing when the boy cupped her small breasts. Ichigo couldn't believe how soft her breasts were. She might have not had Rangiku-sized jugs but she was the epitome of petite, which Ichigo found adorable. Rukia arched her back as Ichigo traveled down her front. "That feels good…" she moaned as Ichigo sucked on her pink nipples. "Ichigoooo…."

Ichigo's blood heated up to magma-levels as his lips pulled on her areola. To him, Rukia's skin was as soft as a cloud and tasted of floral soap. It made him want her more. "Mmmmh…" he moaned as he switched nipples, adoring her hardened pink nipple with his tongue before gripping it with his teeth. Rukia arched her back and ran her nails down his shoulders, moans of ecstasy escaping her lips. Sitting up, Ichigo grabbed Rukia's hakama and threw caution to the wind. As Ichigo tugged off her pants and underwear Rukia cupped her breasts as the dirty feeling inside her grew like wildfire. Sitting up, the naked Rukia wrapped her arms around Ichigo's neck and kissed him as he pulled her into his lap. Shivers ran down the girl's back as Ichigo's hand trialed down her skin, the hairs on the back of her neck standing up as he pulled her into another kiss. With every kiss the two gave in more and more to their wildest desires.

Rukia's mind turned dirty and she pushed Ichigo down onto his back. "Ichigo," she whispered in his ear, "I don't think I'm the only one who should be naked…." Kissing his cheek, she imitated Ichigo's previous motions and kissed her way down his front, pulling off his hakama. Ichigo sat up and pulled her back onto his lap. His hands cupped Rukia's peachy ass and squeezed her soft cheeks, earning a groan from her as he attacked her neck again while Rukia ran her hands through Ichigo's orange hair. Just when Ichigo didn't think this could get any hotter Rukia began to grind her body against his. "You're so hot…" Rukia gasped when she felt her bare womanhood rub against Ichigo's long shaft, her body beginning to ache with want. "Ichigo?"

"Yes?" Ichigo asked as he took his mouth off her neck, leaving a mark that Byakuya wouldn't like when he saw it the next day.

Cupping his face, Rukia looked at Ichigo with a deep smile. "I love you. Please…take me…."

For the second time that night time seemed to stand still as they kissed again, Ichigo lifting her up. Rukia's womanhood pressed against the head of Ichigo's cock, her juices dripping down the long shaft. The kiss between them became sloppy as Rukia sank down on Ichigo's cock. "Mmmmmmhhhh!" she moaned, sucking on Ichigo's tongue as Ichigo stretched her pussy. Ichigo felt like he was entering heaven as he felt Rukia's pussy wrap around his cock, inviting him in further until he'd reached the base of his cock. "Are you okay, Rukia?" he asked when he pulled away from the kiss.

"Yeah," Rukia groaned, "You're so big…" she whispered into his ear. "I love it."

"Rukia…" Ichigo rolled his head band moaned as Rukia rolled her hips. His hands gripped her ass and began to bounce the petite lieutenant up and down his cock.

"Ohhhh…" Rukia arched her back as the pleasure pooled inside her. Her nails dug into Ichigo's back as she bounced higher and higher, feeling his cock rub against all of her sweet spots. "Yes! Yes!" she moaned, losing control over her body. Soon her hips were moving with a mind of their own, as if her body's only desire was to feel Ichigo's cock inside her.

Wanting to take control, Ichigo wrapped his arms around her and rolled over, putting Rukia on her back while he pumped his cock in and out of her. "Rukia…Rukia..." he moaned, loving her name on his lips.

"Ichigo…" Rukia moaned, holding onto her love tightly, her legs wrapping around him. "I love you…."

"I love you too, Rukia," Ichigo replied before speeding up. He held Rukia's quivering form still in his arms as he fucked her with all his soul, feeling bliss he'd never known. "Rukia…I'm gonna cum…."

"Me too…" Rukia kissed him deeply as she bucked into his thrusts. "Please cum with me!" she moaned, unable to contain the cauldron of pleasure bubbling over inside her. "I…Ichi…ICHIGO!" she shouted into the ceiling, holding onto Ichigo for dear life as she came. The futon beneath them became stained as Rukia climaxed, her juices gushing from her pussy.

"Rukia!" Ichigo moaned, kissing her one final time as he came inside her, his seed shooting deep into Rukia's womb.

They stayed glued to each other for several minutes, their sweaty bodies sticking to each other as they basked in the afterglow. Finally, Ichigo pulled out of Rukia and laid down next to her, pulling his lover close. "I love you, Rukia. Always."

Rukia laid her head on his shoulder and snuggled into his embrace, running a hand across her belly and feeling the heat of the cum inside her. Unbeknownst to either of them, Ichigo's seed had taken root inside her, resulting in the conception of the baby who would be born as Hikaru. "I love you too, Ichigo. With all my heart."

The two lovers pulled the covers over them and fell asleep, their love burning brightly like the stars in the sky….

Meanwhile…when Rukia and Ichigo were making love….
Room next to Rukia's

"Ew! Ew! Ewwww!" Hikaru groaned, her fingers in her ears as she struggled to not listen to her parents literally make her. She rolled over and put the covers over her ear. "This is worse than when I caught them doing it in Aunt Yoruichi's hot tub!"
