Chapter 14

Intimacy

Rukia groans, feeling crappy from drinking too much the previous night...but before she can open her eyes, she feels herself being squeezed into a naked muscular warm male body. She gasps and opens her eyes, blinking from the sun streaming in through the window. She realizes she's in Ichigo's bed naked with him while he still sleeps, and she struggles to remember what happened the night before.

I don't even remember leaving the engagement party! What did I do with Ichigo!

She's afraid to move, because she's sure it'll wake Ichigo up if she does, and she is sure she cannot look him in the eyes at the moment.

I think I might die of embarrassment the moment he does wake up!

She realizes she has to move though, and try to do it as stealthily as possible to try and get clothed before he opens his eyes. She bites her lip, and attempts to get his arm from around her, but it's futile. He's got her like a vice, and there is no way to break free without forcing it, and that is sure to wake him up.

Rukia squeezes her eyes shut, as tight as possible and tries once more to remember the details of the night. She's completely incapable of doing so though, and that bothers her a great deal.

I don't believe this…what am I supposed to say since I don't remember anything!

Then all of a sudden, something starts to poke into her leg, and Rukia opens her eyes in shock as she realizes precisely what is pressing into her.

Oh my god!

Rukia makes another attempt to get out of his arms, but she's stopped an instant later.

"You're awake aren't you?" Ichigo's sleepy voice surprises her, and she gasps in shock.

"Ichigo…" Rukia sounds very upset, and he gives her a confused look.

"What's wrong?" He asks, and Rukia blushes hotly.

"Don't look at me…" Rukia says, as he releases his grip on her, and she gathers up the blanket around her before she shoots out of his bed like lightning.

That ends up being a mistake though, because then she can see all of Ichigo's naked body, and he looks amused at her expression, particularly because she's staring quite intently at his morning wood.

"Why can't I? I already saw you naked last night." Ichigo tells her, and Rukia's face gets redder, which he hadn't thought was possible.

"You took advantage of me?" Rukia asks in a small shocked voice, and Ichigo sit up immediately, another mistake since now she can see blood on his bed…evidence of her losing her virginity the night before and she gasps again right as he protests.

"That is not what happened! If anything, you took advantage of me!" Ichigo declares, but then he realizes she's staring at the bed. He looks to where she's looking and he sees the blood, before he lets out a big sigh.

"Tell me everything that happened then" Rukia says demandingly, as she goes through her luggage, searching for a pad and clothes to wear.

"When we got home last night, you ordered me to get naked…in front of my father I might add…and then when we came in here, you told me if I didn't get undressed, you'd undress me…and I told you that I didn't want you hating me in the morning, but you said you wanted to lose your virginity before we got married since your friend Rangiku-san told you it would hurt!" Ichigo tries to explain quickly in one long breath, and Rukia furrows her eyebrows, trying to figure out if it all rings true.

I wish I could remember something! Anything! I can't believe I did it with Ichigo and I can't even remember it!

"I told you to get naked in front of your father! But I know I didn't want you doing anything strenuous!" Rukia objects, and that's when Ichigo starts blushing a bit.

"You didn't forget that, even though you were wasted…you insisted that you would do all the work…and my dad heard you say that too." Ichigo informs her, and Rukia blinks in shock.

"No…" Rukia is horrified, but Ichigo nods his head yes at her, and Rukia bites her lip as she tries not to stare hard at his nakedness.

"I'm not lying. Want to go ask him?" Ichigo challenges her, but instead of taking his bait, her eyes well up with big tears.

"But I don't remember any of it!" She practically wails, and Ichigo is up on his feet before she can even realize what's happened. She's unable to react as he pulls her into his arms and envelopes her in a big comforting hug. She doesn't let go of the blanket though.

"Then let me spend the morning refreshing your memory." Ichigo's voice is right in her ear, and then he kisses her on her ear, and then her neck, making her suck in her breath from the intimacy of it.

"Ichigo…" Rukia whispers, and she sniffles a bit, but it's hard to cry when he's sucking on her neck in the pleasant way that he is.

"Don't be mad at me Rukia…please." Ichigo whispers against her neck, and Rukia melts into him.

"It's not like I don't believe you…I just wish I could remember it…can you tell me in more detail, exactly what happened last night? I think I might be a bit too sore for a demonstration…" Rukia trails off and sucks in another quick breath when Ichigo's tongue begins to twirl on her neck.

He hugs her tighter, kisses her neck a moment longer and pulls away from her, giving her a look of love, it's filled with so much tenderness that Rukia can't tear her eyes away from the warm look in his eyes.

"Okay…I'll tell you everything." Ichigo says, and he pulls her over to the bed, blanket and all onto his lap before he takes a deep breath, ready to enlighten her with the truth by sharing his memory of the night before with her.


"Karin-chan! I can't believe we spent the night here!" Yuzu is obviously panicked, and Karin just yawns as she stretches at the edge of the bed wearing only a strapless bra and underwear.

"It's fine. I sent dad a text last night, telling him we were sleeping at a friend's."

"And you slept in the same bed without any clothes on, with Toushirou-kun!" Yuzu whispers, even as she casts a glance into the bed where the boy they're discussing is still out cold.

"We didn't have sex." Karin says in an unconcerned voice, and Yuzu just shakes her head at Karin.

"That doesn't matter! I know…I know you two were making out! With us in the room too!"

Karin can feel her cheeks heat up, and she glares at her sister. Yuzu seems to only be getting warmed up with her lecturing.

"You'd better not tell!" Karin's whisper is loud, and Yuzu quickly nods her agreement.

"Like I could repeat what you did to anybody! You're lucky Momo-san fell asleep before you climbed in his bed!" Yuzu says, and Karin just shrugs as she picks her dress up from the chair and puts it on.

"Yeah, she didn't even notice when you climbed into her bed." Karin says, glancing at the girl who fell asleep before them, and is still sleeping after they've already woken up.

"I wasn't about to climb into bed with the two of you!" Yuzu says defensively. "And besides, I felt like she and I became good friends last night…it's not like we did anything dirty…like you!" Yuzu says, and Karin sighs, but slips into her dress wishing her responsible sister would shut the hell up already.

"It wasn't dirty." Karin objects as she smoothes out the dress, feeling very out of place in it.

"I could hear you…it sounded like you were trying to suck off each other's faces!" Yuzu objects, and finally Karin gives her sister a threatening look.

"Stop it. Right now, just stop. I don't like how you're making it sound. What happened last night was very special to me. It was also very private." Karin speaks slowly, enunciating each and every word so that her sister stops degrading what was very important to her.

Yuzu crosses her arms and surprises Karin by continuing to battle her on the subject, like they're combatants, and it's an entirely new feeling for Karin.

"I understand that Karin-chan…but was it as special for him as it was for you?" Yuzu asks the hard question without fear, but the flash of fear that shoots in Karin's eyes isn't missed by her sister. Yuzu sighs in aggravation.

You don't even know, do you Karin-chan?

"If it wasn't, I'll make him regret it." Karin's voice is low, but her eyes are filled with resolve, and Yuzu glances over at the subject of their discussion.

I hope you weren't just playing with her…

Suddenly Momo shoots up into a sitting position, her eyes open wide.

"Where am I?" Momo sounds very confused, and she blinks the Kurosaki sisters into view, and remembers where she's at. She shakes her head and gives them an apologetic look.

"Are you okay?" Karin asks the girl dubiously, and Momo laughs nervously.

"Sorry, I sometimes do that when I don't sleep in my own bed…but I didn't realize you two were spending the night! We should all go get dressed and have breakfast!" Momo says, giving the girls a warm smile, not even bothering to wonder where they might have slept.

"We have to go home…I can't go to breakfast dressed like this." Karin quickly objects, but then another voice enters the conversation.

"I'd prefer it if you did. I'm sure my sister has something casual you can wear if you don't want to be in those dresses." Toushirou says, and Karin's cheeks heat up again.

"We wouldn't want to impose…"

"How could it be an imposition, after all that happened last night?" Toushirou asks, and Momo looks back and forth between the Kurosaki sisters and her brother with a puzzled expression.

"What happened last night?" She asks, and everyone gets silent for a long moment.

"Nothing." Karin finally says, but she nods her head at Toushirou. "If you want us to…" She relents, and Toushirou grins at her, nodding.

"I definitely do."

Momo jumps out of bed and begins to go through her luggage. Within a minute, she's thrown clothes to each of the girls, and they head into the bathroom together to change. Once inside, Yuzu pokes her sister.

"This isn't like you, Karin-chan. You've hardly even noticed boys except for as soccer buddies!" Yuzu hisses, ,and Karin glares at her.

"I never met anybody like him before though. Can you try to be happy for me, instead of acting like I've committed some sort of criminal act?" Karin asks, and Yuzu just shakes her head at her sister as though she's a lost cause.

"I give up." Yuzu whispers sadly, and Karin looks relieved.

"Just don't tell anybody, okay?" Karin begs, and Yuzu nods her head reluctantly.

As if I could actually talk about such an embarrassing thing! I hope she knows what she's doing…I hope to goodness that breakfast goes well, or else Karin will have a hard time hiding everything that's actually happened…


Rukia takes a deep breath, since Ichigo just explained to her in great deal, everything she'd said, and done the night before. She's a tiny bit mortified, but also relieved when she hears the reasons she gave to Ichigo for wanting to lose her virginity when she did.

"I can't believe you asked me all of that." Rukia finally says, after a long minute of silence from him recounting the night before and Ichigo kisses her cheek.

"Somehow I figured you were too drunk…I had to be sure it was really okay. Your reasons made sense to me…" He trails off and kisses her again, relieved that she isn't angry with him.

They make sense to me too…but I still wish I remembered it…I can't believe I did all of that to him…

"I really hit you hard?" Rukia asks, and Ichigo raises his eyebrows at her in surprise.

"I'm positive the evidence is there if I stand up and bend over…" He says, but then he regrets it since she suddenly looks more optimistic.

"Let me see."

I knew she was going to say that…I should have just kept quiet.

"Come on, Rukia, I don't want to let you go right now." Ichigo protests, but it's obvious she's already got it in her head, and she isn't about to let him out of it.

She slides off his lap, and he lets her go reluctantly, before he sighs. He stands up, and turns around, giving Rukia a full view of his ass, and she can't hold back her giggles that he does indeed have some marks on his ass, some faded welts, and so she darts in and bites his ass in the same way he already described her doing the night before. He sucks in a quick breath of air, and Rukia pulls her mouth away, but then she kisses both of his cheeks lovingly.

"You have a nice ass, Ichigo." Rukia tells him, and Ichigo turns back around, allowing her another glimpse of his throbbing arousal.

"If you keep that up…you won't be able to blame me for what happens next." Ichigo warns her, and Rukia smiles, even though she gets a bit pink.

"Ichigo…about last night…did you…enjoy it?" Rukia is appalled that she just asked that, but she has to know…and even Ichigo looks at her in shock.

"I didn't know it was possible to feel that good." He whispers to her, and Rukia reaches out to touch his hard wood, hoping it will bring back a flash of memory.

"Did you really?" Rukia whispers, but then a loud pounding knock sounds on Ichigo's door.

"Hey! Lovebirds! You two probably need a shower! You can go in together! The girls aren't here!" Isshin's voice is like a sonic boom it's so damn loud, and the couple blushes furiously.

A shower together!

They exchange glances as they have the exact same thought, and both of them are blushing since they like the sound of Isshin's idea.

"In a minute!" Rukia calls out loudly, and Ichigo guffaws that she just agreed out loud to his father.

But she's out of his arms in an instant, gathering the sheets off of his bed, biting her lip with embarrassment when she sees the blood seeped through to the mattress.

"Rukia! What did you just say to my dad?" Ichigo asks, ignoring the blood that has his fiancé so agitated.

"Would you rather a bath? I can draw you two lovebirds a bubble bath if you'd prefer!" Isshin calls back, and Ichigo looks like he wants to ram his fist through the door, and Rukia wishes she weren't bleeding since a bath sounds nice.

"No we'll just shower!" Rukia calls back, and then she locates a dark towel in Ichigo's closet.

"What are you doing?" Ichigo asks, as Rukia peers around his room some more.

"Looking for something to clean that up with!" Rukia whispers loudly at him while pointing at the bloodstain, and Ichigo shakes his head at her.

"Yuzu puts all the cleaning supplies away. We'll have to go out in the hall in the closet to get them" Ichigo tells her, and Rukia gives him a desperate look.

"You go and bring it back, I'll clean it up!" She says, and Ichigo sighs as he nods his head.

"Fine."

It takes Rukia ten full minutes to completely remove the stain from the bed, and then she grabs another towel, her clothes and the pad she'd located earlier, and heads for the door, motioning him to follow her. She breathes a sigh of relief when she opens the door and Ichigo's father isn't right there.

Ichigo has a towel wrapped around his waist, following her, anticipating a shower, seeing her naked, and thinking some very erotic thoughts.

Once in the bathroom, Ichigo starts the water, and Rukia finally drops the blanket she's had pressed against herself ever since she exited his bed. Ichigo's eyes are locked on her naked body, and Rukia blushes at how intently he stares her up and down.

"Stop staring Ichigo." Rukia covers her crotch with her right hand, and her breasts with her left arm.

"I want to wash you." Ichigo says, with a half lidded seductive stare, and Rukia nods wordlessly as she's shocked by the depth of emotion in his voice.

He'll be touching me all over…how will I stand it?

Ichigo sticks his hand in the shower, satisfied with the warmth of the water he feels, and so he drops his own towel and steps in, beckoning Rukia with one finger.

"Come here, Sexy."

Rukia blushes, but she stops covering herself, and gets into the shower with her soon-to-be husband. With water dripping down his tall sexy body, her breath catches in her throat, and she's once again amazed that such a gorgeous man has fallen in love with her.

"I want to wash you too." Rukia says shyly, as she reaches out to touch his rock hard abdomen, where the stitches are still visible.

"I want to make love to you right here and now." Ichigo says, with a bit of frustration in his tone, and Rukia blushes again.

"Don't you even try it." She warns him, but she steps closer to him in order to reach the soap on the shelf.

She lathers up her hands and then hands him the soap before she begins the exciting task of washing him all over. She hasn't even finished his chest when he begins to massage her shoulders with his soapy hands, and Rukia's body tingles with every inch of her bare skin that he touches.

It feels like we're already a married couple, doing something like this!

"Your skin is so soft." Ichigo remarks, and Rukia reaches around to clean his rear end, which makes his middle press closer against her as the water rushes about them.

"Turn around so I can really clean it good." Rukia says with a sweet smile that troubles Ichigo, but he turns around as she asks. Rukia gives his wounded ass a nice scrubbing before she bends down to bite it some more.

"knock it off Rukia, or I'll do it to you!" Ichigo threatens, and Rukia giggles before pulling away.

He quickly turns around, giving her one of his sexy grins.

"No I'm the one with the obsession," she tells him playfully, but Ichigo begins to clean her in between her legs, which stops all of her talking, giving him a chance to reply back.

"Looks like I've developed the same obsession for you. I never imagined you'd have such a cute butt." He murmurs, before he reaches around with his free hand, giving her rear end a good squeeze.

They end up staying in the shower, until the water runs cold, and it's a disappointment for both of them, since they were enjoying the water play.

"You know what Ichigo?" Rukia asks, as she dries herself off, and he rubs the towel into his hair.

"What?" He asks, and she can't help stare at his penis which is bouncing all around from him trying to dry off his hair.

"I can't wait for our honeymoon." Rukia tells him, before she reaches out and gives his still hard penis a good squeeze.

Ichigo whips the towel away from his head and considers entering her on the spot, but only holds back because he knows she's sore.

Me either Rukia…I can already tell you're going to leave me with blue balls today…
