Chapter 5: Mending a wounded heart
IchigoXOC (X3)

A.N.: I forgot to mention this in the last chapter but if you were curious about the Trinity's zanpakuto names, they are Tenshi (Angel), Tsubasawashi (Winged Eagle) and Zōgehakushō (Ivory Swan). And the appearance of Aibara's Tenshi is based off the weapon in Buso Renkin, Angel Gozen.

A week later….
Karakura High

The three girls sat alone under a tree, quietly eating their lunches. Every five minutes or so one of them would look up to the roof and see Ichigo sitting near the edge, his back toward them and frown with sadness. For the past week, Ichigo had been avoiding them, not giving them a chance to maybe let them explain themselves a little more. They weren't sure if he'd told Uryu but the rest of his friends had picked up on his attitude and now everyone was giving them the cold shoulder. Ochiru still worked as a maid for his family but every time she came over Ichigo hopped out the window and walked away from the house, much to her disappointment.

Putting down her rice ball, Ochiru looked to Aibara and Asuka. "Should we leave? Maybe give Ichigo some space?" she suggested. "He's not going to talk to us for a while, is he?"

"No." Asuka shook her head. "I don't want to leave with Ichigo hating us. If we leave, I doubt we'll ever see Ichigo again. We need to mend our relationship with him. We have to show him that we do care about him and not just view him as some prize."

"For once, I agree," Aibara said, leaning back against the tree. "We know that Ichigo like us, so we need to set things right. Also, I don't wanna leave. I kinda like going to school." She looked at their classmates and sighed in content. "This is kinda nice."

"It is," Ochiru said while nodding. "But I'm not sure if we should stay here for much longer. The Soul Society is bound to come after us. If Ichigo hadn't already alerted them, they'd certainly have noticed the massive amount of hollows we destroyed last week."

Shrugging, Aibara took a swig of soda before scowling. "Come after us for what? Saving Ichigo? Most of the people we knew are dead and gone. Hell, after we pulled our vanishing act, I'd be surprised if Yamamoto didn't have our names stricken from the records. And besides, what can they do? We took out an entire army of Menos Grande; it's not like any of them could compete against us."

"She's right," Asuka noted. "And besides…I don't think Ichigo would just let them try to kill us."

Ochiru scowled. "But right now he hates our guts! If my mother came up to him and demanded to know where I was right now, I'd bet that he'd tell her he give me to her giftwrapped!" She stared down at the grass and sighed. She hated mentioning her mother; that vile, despicable woman.

Aibara raised an eyebrow. "Why would your mother come after you? I thought you two hated each other?"

"Girls, this is pointless," Asuka noted. "We need to focus on getting Ichigo's trust back. And I've got an idea. You remember how we saved Ichigo before?"

"Yeah, when he cracked his noggin while fighting those hollows. Why?" Aibara asked.

"Well… maybe we can make lightning strike twice…."

Ochiru continued to scowl. "That won't work, Asuka. Ichigo is no pushover. It was only sheer dumb luck that he sustained the injury in the first place. You aren't going to suggest that you create hollows with your shadow powers and sic 'em on Ichigo, are you?"

"No!" she quickly said, shaking her head. "I'm suggesting we sic 'em on ourselves!" Both Ochiru and Aibara looked at Asuka like she'd lost her mind, then looked at each other and then back to Asuka.

"Go on…."

The next night….
Karakura Town

Ichigo stood at the edge of the rooftop he was standing on, trying to find some peace in the tranquility of the sleepy town's silence. But he couldn't. Even after a week his heart still burned with pain from listening to the three girls. They'd been so obsessed with him and they just expected him to give up everything to live a happy life with them? Ichigo shook his head, wishing that he'd never met the three now. He truly was starting to like them, sex notwithstanding, but this felt like a knife in the back. He was done being used by anyone. Aizen, Ginjo and Yhwach had all used him for their own ends and he was done letting others decide things for him.

But still, the angel on his shoulder told him to be more considerate. They were only doing what they did because they cared for him. So maybe he should try to mend things between them and get on speaking terms. Turning to the direction of their house, Ichigo sighed, not sure what to do. His head screamed no but his heart, and lower half, said yes.

"KYAAAAAA!"

"What?" Ichigo turned to the direction of the voice. Leaping off the building, Ichigo ran down the street and headed into a dark alley, ready for anything. He drew his Zangetsu long sword and stepped into the darkness. "Hello? Anyone here?"

"Ichigo, HELP!" When Ichigo's eyes became adjusted to the darkness, he saw that the ones in danger were Asuka, Aibara and Ochiru. The three were in the grip of a deadly octopus hollow, its tentacles wrapped around their waists and hurling them around. On the ground was Ochiru's fans and Asuka's sealed zanpakuto. Aibara tried to shook the hollow with her bow but the hollows shaking kept throwing her aim way off, pink arrows harmlessly bouncing off the wall.

"Oh no!" Ichigo gasped. He didn't care what they did to him, he still wouldn't let anyone get hurt on his watch. "Getsuga…" his blade glowed as he arched his arm back. "Tensho!" the black blade beam hurtled over to the hollow, cutting it in half. As it crumbled to nothing, it let go of its would-be victims. Ochiru and Asuka rolled onto the ground as they were released and Ichigo caught Aibara as she fell. "My hero!" she squealed, hugging Ichigo's neck. When she saw the venomous glares of her friends she merely stuck out her tongue at them.

Ignoring their little feud, Ichigo set the blonde down and scowled. "What the hell, guys?! You defeated an army of hollows like it's nothing, but you get beat by an octopus?"

"Actually," Asuka said, walking up to the boy. "We weren't in any danger. Aibara and I created it by combining my shadow powers with her dimensional ones." When Ichigo was about to shout at them, she held up a hand. "That wasn't a real hollow. It couldn't hurt anybody. We only did this to get your attention."

Ichigo put his sword away and crossed his arms. "Another scheme to get with me, is that what this is?" he asked angrily. He turned around and stomped off, only to be intercepted by Aibara, who held up a hand. "Move."

"Ichigo, we only want to talk. You've been avoiding us and this was the only way for us to just get close to you without using force." She looked at Ichigo with sad eyes and frowned. "Please, just let us talk. If you want to keep hating us afterward, then that's fine. But please just let us say our piece."

The boy stood there, staring at the blonde for a moment. Finally, he sighed and took his hand off his short Zangetsu blade. "Fine. Let's talk."

Both Ochiru and Asuka let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, why don't we head to our house?" Ochiru suggested. "This alley's starting to get cold." All three of the other Soul Reapers nodded and together the four started to make their way to their house, Ichigo keeping a distance from the three….

Meanwhile….
Soul Society, Squad 13

"Lieutenant Kuchiki."

Rukia looked up from her paperwork to see the new Head-Captain, Shunsui Kyoraku, enter the room. "Yes, Head-Captain?"

The man seemed to be in a serious mood, as he wasn't wearing his straw hat and he didn't reek of sake. "I understand you went down to the archives with a request about a certain Soul Reaper, Ochiru Miyagi?"

"Yes, sir." The look in his eyes made Rukia worry for Ichigo. She hadn't gotten back with her friend after she'd found out that the records that had the information regarding the three girls Ichigo inquired about had been sealed for over nine hundred years, which added to the mystery. "Ichigo Kurosaki was the one who asked me about them. Why? Is he in trouble?" she asked, worried for her friend.

Scratching his beard, Kyoraku sat down in a chair and sighed. "Trouble from me? No. But as we both know, Rukia, trouble seems to find Ichigo well enough. When I was informed of your request, someone else also got the message and is heading for Karakura Town now."

Rukia blinked. "Really? Who?"

Meanwhile, back at the plot….
The Trinity's house

Ichigo sat on the couch while the other three took a seat. "Before anything else, Ichigo," Asuka started. "We're sorry if we gave you the wrong idea last week. It wasn't our intention to just nab you and take you away from everyone else."

The boy crossed his arms. "Okay, but why would you suggest that I would just willingly walk away from battle? You said you've been watching me for years. You must've known I'd never willingly abandon my friends."

Ochiru shook her head. "We have, Ichigo. We probably know you better than you know yourself. And that's why we want to stay with you, to stay by your side. The reason we want to take you away from here is because during all the years we've watched you, we've noticed something. Something that you would never tell anyone; not even yourself."

"And that is?"

Aibara finished their monologue. "That you WANT to step away from it all; but you don't want to leave things in the hands of other's. You live to protect your friends but at the end of the day, you were happy that your fight with Byakuya was over. You may have been sad at the loss of your powers but some part of you was glad you no longer had to fight anymore. And we could certainly tell that when you finally slew Yhwach, you were glad that the war was over and that you could lay down your sword, if only for the moment. The truth is, Ichigo, that we saw that deep down, you felt that you've fought enough. Part of you wants to walk away from battle. You have strong friends but your inner desire to protect them will cause you to live a life of endless battle. We don't want that. YOU don't want that."

"Well, Ichigo…" Asuka asked. "Are we wrong in assuming that?"

Ichigo stared at the floor. As much as he wanted to tell them off, tell them that they were wrong and that he wanted to keep fighting…he couldn't help but acknowledge that what they were saying had truth. He WAS tired of fighting. He DID want to stop. When he killed Yhwach he had convinced himself that there was nobody left to fight. But when that army of hollows showed up, Ichigo felt a feeling well up inside him along with the dread of staring down thirty Vasto Lordes: Exhaustion.

The three could tell that Ichigo knew the truth and scooched closer to him. "Please, Ichigo," Ochiru pleaded. "We only want to help. We're not asking you to just come away with us and abandon everyone. But for once, don't you think that you've earned a rest from battle?"

"I…"Ichigo looked away, his head a swirl of conflict. "What exactly are you asking of me?"

Getting up, Asuka walked over to Ichigo and sat down next to him. "We want to be your lovers, Ichigo. And when you're ready, we want one of us to become your wife and the mother of your children. That's what we want for ourselves. What we want for you is to be happy. That's all we're asking." She put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "And I'm sure your friends will understand. We wouldn't dare dream of trying to tear you away from them. We could make it to wear you can visit them anytime. But if you stay with us, away from the troubles of the Soul Society, you might have a chance for actual happiness."

Ichigo stared at Asuka for a long moment, then at Aibara and Ochiru. Sighing, he sat back against the couch. Their words had truth but he'd been fighting for so long that to just walk away, to never think about having to fight hollows anymore…. Part of him liked that. "Maybe…" he finally said. The three smiled at Ichigo before Aibara and Ochiru moved toward him. Asuka laid her head on his shoulder, Aibara laid her head in his lap and Ochiru ran a hand through his hair, her breasts pushing against his arm

All three girls sighed heavenly as they snuggled with Ichigo. "It's okay, Ichigo. We don't expect you to make up your mind right away. We'll wait for however long it takes," Ochiru said, caressing his cheek. "But can we at least be your friends again?"

This time, Ichigo's decision was immediate. "Okay."

Aibara looked up at Ichigo and grinned. "Then why don't we reacquaint our friendship with a steamy foursome?" Both girls giggled as they got up, pulling Ichigo up off the couch. "This way, Ichigo…."

His hormones spurring him on, Ichigo followed the three girls into the master bedroom. Along the way, the floor became littered with clothes as the four stripped. When they reached the bedroom, all four were naked. Giggling in anticipation, the girls pulled Ichigo onto the bed. As they pushed Ichigo onto his back in the middle of the large bed, the girls laid down, Asuka and Ochiru on his sides and Aibara lying on top of him, and took turns making out with him. As she made out with Ichigo, their tongues lewdly coming together, her hips began to grind against Ichigo's, working his cock to life. Feeling his hardness press against her stomach, Aibara slid down Ichigo's front, kissing his chest as she made her way down his front. Ochiru left Ichigo's side to join her.

Both Aibara and Ochiru pushed their breasts together, smoothing Ichigo's cock. The blonde and brunette grinned as they squeezed their breasts and began to run them up and down Ichigo's manhood, giving the lucky boy double-paizuri. Any moans that might've escaped from Ichigo's lips were devoured by Asuka as she and Ichigo made out. The black-haired girl caressed Ichigo's cheek as she pressed herself against his shoulder. Losing himself to his lust all over again, Ichigo's hand came up and cupped her large breast. Pulling away, Asuka giggled and cupped her large rack. "You like?" she whispered as she leaned forward. Ichigo's answer was came when he leaned forward and wrapped his lips around her pink nipple. "Ah!" the girl moaned as that hot sensation began to flow through her chest. "Oooooh!" Ichigo's eyes widened as hot milk flooded his mouth. "Teehee! That feels good, Ichigo…" Asuka purred as she ran a hand through his hair. "I never got the chance to mention it. After I got my powers, my breasts filled with milk." Ichigo eagerly drank from Asuka like a baby, all the while enjoying the bliss of Aibara's and Ochiru's paizuri.

Ichigo's eyes widened again when the two girls at his crotch began to lick the dripping head of his cock, the two moaning as their nipples rubbed against each other. Taking his mouth off of Asuka's leaking nipple, Ichigo laid his head back against the pillow and moaned, feeling close to release. Seeing Ichigo close, Asuka laid down next to him and kissed him, tasting her milk on his lips as her tongue explored his mouth. "Cumming!" Ichigo grunted as he pulled away, the head of his cock pulsing before exploding all over Aibara's and Ochiru's faces, covering them with his cum. Both girls let out a loud sigh as Ichigo gave them a bukkake, licking their lips as they tasted Ichigo's spunk.

As Ichigo sat up with his back against the headboard of the bed, he watched with aroused interest as Asuka scooted down to her friends and eagerly licked their breasts cleaned, purring at Ichigo's taste. Aibara and Ochiru licked Ichigo's spunk off each other's faces before the three met in a hot, steamy three-way kiss. When they pulled away, they all smiled together. "You ready, girls?" Ochiru asked. Aibara and Asuka nodded.

"Rock! Paper! Scissors!"

The three girls put their hands out. Asuka had rock, Ochiru and Aibara had scissors. "Yay! I'm first!" Asuka squealed before crawling back over to Ichigo. Lying down next to the boy, Asuka stroked his cock for a few seconds, making the moan at the feel of her soft hand before she pulled him on top of her. The two Soul Reapers were locked in a blissful kiss as she wrapped her legs around his waist, his manhood rubbing her wet entrance. "Ah!" she gasped as Ichigo slowly pushed into her, holding on to the boy as he filled her womanhood. "Ichigo! You're even bigger than I remembered!" she moaned.

Having been deprived of the pleasures of the flesh for a full week, Ichigo was once more shocked at the hot and wet feel of Asuka's womanhood, almost forgetting what a woman felt like. The large bed the four were on began to creak as Ichigo began to pump in and out of her, holding her small body still in his arms. His hands ran through her ebony hair as he kissed her neck. Asuka dug her heels into Ichigo's back and cried out in ecstasy. She missed having sex with Ichigo, the feel of her love inside of her. Running his tongue up her neck, Ichigo kissed Asuka deeply, their hands threading. "Asuka…" he whispered as he pulled away from the kiss.

"Mmmmh!" Asuka purred, arching her back. "Ichigo, I had no idea my name sounded so sexy coming from you." She kissed Ichigo's cheek. "Say my name again, please?" she begged.

As he continued to piston into her tight honeypot, Ichigo leaned down and whispered into her ear. "Asuka…." The girl moaned uncontrollably from the erotic sound of her own name on her love's lips. She groaned when Ichigo sped up, his hips slapping against hers rapidly. Pressing his full weight against her, groaning as he could feel his sac tighten. "Gonna cum," he moaned into her ear.

"Cum on my tits," Asuka pleaded. She wanted so badly to have Ichigo cum inside her but not now; not until he was ready and he had chosen her to be his bride. "AH!" she cried out as she came. "Ichigo!"

Ichigo quickly pulled out of Asuka and stroked his cock quickly, grunting the girl's name before shooting his load all over her tits. Asuka lay on the bed as she felt her breasts be covered in heat, sighing with pleasure. Coming down from his high, Ichigo sat back on the bed and panted hard, his skin covered in a sheen of sweat. But his respite was not to last when a hand was place on his shoulder. "Mrrrrow…It's my turn next, Ichigo…."

Ichigo was a bit confused when he saw that the hand on his shoulder was…a paw? Turning around, he was shocked, only partially though, to see Ochiru in a sexy cat getup. Wearing fuzzy pink cat-paw gloves and cute pink cat-ear headband, Ochiru purred as she stalked over to Ichigo, a anal-bead tail inserted into her derriere. "Um…Ochiru?" he muttered as she crawled into his lap, nuzzling his neck like a cat. "What is this?"

"Mrrrrow!" the girl purred before nibbling on his earlobe. "Haven't you learned by now, Ichigo? I love cosplay. And my favorite outfit…" she whispered as she nuzzled his neck, "Is a sexy kitty." Ichigo wrapped his arms around her as she kissed him, running a hand up her back. Feeling her grind her lower half against his, Ichigo's hands went to her ass, squeezing her cheeks softly as he lifted her up. "MRRRROW!" Ochiru purred as Ichigo lowered her down onto his cock. "Ooooh! That feels good!" she moaned, putting her hands on Ichigo's shoulders and bouncing on his cock hard. "Make this kitty feel good!"

Ochiru wrapped her legs around Ichigo's waist as he lifted her up and down on his manhood. She'd almost came from the intensity of her bouncing. Ichigo pressed his lips against her neck and started to suck on it, leaving marks that would be seen later, thought Ochiru wouldn't mind. Her breasts rubbed against Ichigo's chest as she bounced harder and harder, her nails digging into his back. When Ichigo's hand brushed agasitn her anal-bead tail, he got a dirty idea.

"MRRRROOOOOOWWWW!" Ochiru screamed when Ichigo gripped her sexy tail and started to play with it, pulling it out of her then pushing the beads back in. "OH! NOT MY TAIL!" she cried out, holding onto Ichigo for dear life. "My ass is too sensitive!"

Smirking, Ichigo continued to play with her ass, Ochiru putting both feet on the bed and bouncing on his cock of her own will. He gasped as her pussy would tighten around him every time he pushed the beads back in, making him try his hardest not to cum every time. Cupping Ichigo's cheek, Ochiru kissed him passionately as she felt the knot inside her stomach about to snap as Ichigo pulled out the anal beads completely. "Ahhhhhhhh!" she screamed as she came. The tension caused Ichigo to snap. Pulling Ochiru off of his lap, Ichigo stroked his cock only once and exploded all over her body, covering her just like he did Asuka. "Meow…" Ochiru purred while licking her lips. "So hot…."

Panting, Ichigo sat back on the bed, his vision swirling from the rush of blood. Despite everything, he was still hard as a rock. Looking around for Aibara, he saw that she was gone. "Um…Aibara? Where are you?"

A head of golden hair appeared at the edge of the bed. "Down here, Ichigo." Ichigo crawled over to the edge of the bed and saw Aibara on the floor. Aibara was on her hands and knees, plunging three lubed-up fingers into her asshole. "Come fuck me in my ass!" she said lewdly, sticking her tongue out as she felt her fingers go deep in her bottom. "Don't worry. I'm all lubed up for anal sex."

Losing himself to the sight of Aibara wiggling her ass, Ichigo got off the bed and mounted her. Aibara grinned from ear to ear as Ichigo slowly pushed into her ass, feeling him stretch her asshole to its limit. Ichigo gasped at the hot tightness of Aibara's ass. He'd never done anal sex before so he was not used to how tighter a woman's ass was. "Aibara…" he gasped as she bucked into him, driving the last few inches of his manhood into her.

"MMMMMMH!" Aibara lewdly moaned, her nails digging into the carpet beneath her. "So big…my ass feels like it'll break…." Turning her head, she winked at Ichigo. "Go ahead, Ichigo. I'm a big girl. I can take whatever you give me."

Deciding that if she said it was okay then it was okay, Ichigo nodded. Gripping her waist, Ichigo started to push into her asshole, not stopping until he'd shoved every inch of him into her ass. "Ahhhh…" Aibara moaned, her tongue sticking out as Ichigo started to move around inside her, relaxing her muslces so Ichiog could slide in and out of her unobstructed. Soon however, it mattered little since her body soon yielded to Ichigo.

Ochiru and Asuka looked over the edge of the bed and watched Ichigo pound Aibara's ass like there was no tomorrow. Feeling kinky from the sexy blonde's lustful attitude, Ichigo gave her ass a good smack. Crying out as his hand left a red mark on her bottom, Aibara grinned. "Ooooh! Ichigo! Do that again!"

Smirking, Ichigo started to spank the blonde more, groaning as her tight hole clamped around his cock with every smack. Aibara reached down and started to rub herself as Ichigo pounded her asshole. "Fuck!" Ichigo groaned. "You're so tight!"

"Heheheheh… Ichigo. Have I ever told you how hot it is, hearing you talk dirty?" Aibara slurred as she bucked into Ichigo. "Guhhhh!" she grimaced. "Fuck! It feels like you're hitting my stomach!" She arched her back as she pushed two fingers into her soaked pussy. "Gonna…gonna…CUMMING!"

Ichigo was caught off guard as Aibara came, her juices gushing all over his balls while her asshole tightened around him, making him feel like she was trying to choke his cock. "Aibara!" he cried out, cumming inside her ass, his eyes crossing as the pleasure inside him exploded.

Only when he something soft hit his back did he realize that he was back on the bed, Aibara next to him, a quivering mess as she basked in the afterglow. Asuka and Ochiru cleaned his cock before lying next to him. "Well, Ichigo? Are we friends again?" Asuka asked.

Chuckling, Ichigo nodded. "Yeah. Friends."

"Goody!" Ochiru cheered. Running a hand up his chest, she laid her head on his shoulder. "It'll be exciting the next time I'm cleaning your house again, huh, Master?"

Smiling, Ichigo kissed the Trinity's foreheads and pulled the covers over them, the four falling into a deep sleep, happy once more….

Meanwhile….

Unbeknownst to the four, somewhere in Karakura Town a Senkaimon was opening up….

To be continued….
