Chapter 16

Might Be Cheating

"I'm amazed to admit it but…I'm kind of jealous of you!" Rangiku sings with a smile as she pours Rukia another drink.

"Of me?" Rukia says with surprise, and Rangiku giggles.

"Your soon to be husband of course!"

"He is so hot!" Rukia declares, since she's already had a few too many and is currently working her way towards being completely smashed.

"Have you done it yet?" Rangiku asks, and even drunk, Rukia gets embarrassed, but she ducks her head and nods shyly.

"Apparently that's partly your fault." Rukia informs her and Rangiku raises an eyebrow.

"Maybe he should be marrying me then!" Rangiku says, and Rukia slugs her in the arm, hard.

"Not funny! No, really, because you told me about the pain…apparently on the night of the engagement party, I made demands of him." Rukia admits, being more open than usual.

Rangiku cracks up, and Momo blushes before protesting.

"This is an embarrassing conversation!"

"I think you need some more to drink. Come here!" Rangiku reaches out and catches Momo by her shoulders before she can get away.

"No! I don't want to get drunk!"

"Too bad, it's Rukia-chan's bachelorette party, so you have to!" Rangiku sings before she thrusts a strong drink in the girl's hand.

"I'm in complete agreement with her tonight!" Rukia says, laughing at Momo's shocked expression.

"Come on, Momo! Don't be a party-pooper!" Rangiku whines, and Momo sighs, relenting.

"If you can't beat them, join them." Momo says before she puts the drink to her lips, taking a big gulp.

This earns her cheers from her friends, but that's the last clear memory that Rukia has of the night. She wakes up in the morning in bed missing her shirt with both of her closest girlfriends in the same bed with her, not only that, one of them is naked. They stayed at the most expensive hotel in Tokyo.

"My head…" Rukia groans, and Momo sits straight up in bed before looking at Rukia with wide eyes.

"Rukia-chan!" Momo practically shrieks, which makes Rangiku start to mutter as she wakes up.

"Lower your voice Momo-chan!" A very naked Rangiku whines, but Momo frantically holds her hands up in the air.

"You both got way too drunk!" Momo finally bursts out, since she doesn't see why it's got to be her who breaks the bad news to the two knuckleheads who blacked out last night.

"What are you talking about…" Rangiku trails off as they hear the flush of a toilet and a tall, muscular naked blue eyed man with short dark hair, walks out of the bathroom into their view.

Momo squawks, blushes, and averts her eyes, and Rukia blinks in shock. Rangiku perks up a bit, while Rukia and Momo grab at the blanket to cover their chests, which thankfully were initially covered with bras anyways.

"They're awake?" A second voice comes from the bathroom which makes Rukia raise an eyebrow in confusion, but then the man's identical twin follows his brother out, naked as well.

"Oh my god they're identical right down to their-oomph!" Rangiku cries out as Momo's elbow cracks her in the rib.

"What in the hell happened last night?" Rukia wails as she tries to keep her eyes on their faces. Rangiku is blatantly looking at their midsections and Momo refuses to look at them at all.

Rukia is sure she didn't have sex…not even wasted off her ass would she cheat on Ichigo…

"You don't remember?" The first man who'd exited the bathroom pins his gaze on her, and Rukia shrugs apologetically.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd explain in detail…exactly what happened." Rukia says, and the man winks at her.

"Well…you wouldn't let us have sex with you no matter how much Rangiku-san begged you last night, so instead you two girls settled for a back massage, and then we both had fun with Rangiku-san." The man says, and then his brother chuckles.

"You watched."

"I did not!" Rukia sputters out red faced, not remembering any of it.

"Yes you did." Momo whispers, and Rukia gives her a quick glare. Momo puts up her hands in a defensive motion. "I tried to stop you…but there was no stopping you…"

"Why are you still naked?" Rukia asks, and the twins laugh again as they head over to the bed, and then they both sit down at the edge of it.

"Rangiku-san told us we weren't allowed to get dressed without her permission." The second man says, and Momo blushes.

"Sometimes my own intelligence impresses even me!" Rangiku sighs, since she's ready to have a round with the twins that she remembers. Momo squeals, and the men nod their agreement, while Rukia just shakes her head in horror.

"Wait! Did…anything else happen?" She asks nervously, wanting the naked men to get dressed and leave as quickly as possible, which doesn't seem likely the way Rangiku-san is chomping off at the bit to get to them.

"You sure you don't want a threesome or a foursome…or just group sex with all of us?" The one brother asks and the other nods.

"No!" Momo and Rukia answer in unison, with Rangiku giggling.

"You two are boring! It'd be fun to do it all together! I'd even keep it a secret if that's what you really want to do!" Rangiku says, and Rukia feels her face heat up.

"No!"

"Oh well then…more for me." Rangiku says, and Rukia scrambles to locate her blouse, with Momo following her lead.

"I'm dreading telling Ichigo about this." Rukia grumbles, and Rangiku's eyes widen.

"Why on earth would you tell him?" She asks, and Rukia sighs.

"The guilt will eat me alive if I don't." Rukia says, wondering how long it will be before Rangiku-san finishes having her way with them.

"That's probably best." Momo says, not wanting to tell Rukia the worst news.

"Don't take too long," Rukia tells Rangiku as she locates her blouse and gets it on as fast as possible. Momo actually finishes getting dressed first, so she grabs Rukia's purse along with her own, and then she grabs her engaged friend by the arm and leads her out of the room.

"Momo, you remember everything right?" Rukia asks nervously, and Momo nods her head yes.

"I just want to make sure I know everything before I head back to Ichigo." Rukia tells her, and Momo bites her lip, dreading sharing the piece of information that she's kept hidden so far.

There were camera flashes when we entered the room…it was probably reporters…

Ichigo nearly craps his pants when Tatsuki comes swinging into his bedroom through the window.

"How in the hell did you manage that?" Ichigo growls, and Tatsuki gives him a satisfied smirk.

"I came from the roof."

"I'm still mad at you, I hope you know." Ichigo tells her with a serious look to emphasize the point, and then he crosses his arms.

"I know you want me to leave, but before I do, I just was wondering how is it that you're going to marry a girl who'd go into a hotel room with another guy, when you could have Orihime, a girl who would never cheat on you." Tatsuki says, and Ichigo glares at her.

"Get out."

"Answer my question first." Tatsuki says, and Ichigo rolls his eyes.

"Rukia is just as into me as I am into her!" Ichigo says, and Tatsuki shakes her head.

"No. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying your beloved little fiance went into a hotel room with two girls and two men last night. Identical twins in fact. I don't have any video of what happened in the room, but I have some audio recording from outside of the room." Tatsuki says, and Ichigo frowns.

Rukia never came home from the bachelorette party last night…

"I'll wait for Rukia to tell me about it." Ichigo says, not wanting to hear anything more.

"Then we'll compromise. If she doesn't tell you about it by tomorrow, I'll come back over and give you all the information I have." Tatsuki tells him, and Ichigo sighs.

"Fine."

"Ichigo…"

"What?"

"Don't stay mad at me, okay?"

"I'll forgive you after I marry Rukia."

Tatsuki turns to leave, glad that he does plan to forgive her. She figures all of what she has to say to him can wait one more day.

On the way back home, Rukia replays the day from when she did the interview with Hisagi-san, in particular the later part of the day.

It was after their ice cream date, and they had both been relieved to see that Inoue and Tatsuki had disappeared. When they entered the house, nobody stood in their way, not even Isshin. Ichigo had pulled Rukia up the stairs, with her looking pink as could be.

"Ichigo, I'm still not sure what you want-" Rukia had started to say, but Ichigo looked pretty smug when he interrupted her.

"Yes you do. You know. …I want you naked...now." His eyes twinkled a bit and Rukia turned bright red since she remembered he told her what she'd said to him when she'd been drunk.

"I don't think so Ichigo." Rukia had tied to say, but her opinion didn't seem to matter…as he'd promised earlier that day.

"Oh, but I do." With those words he slid in front of her so fast she wasn't sure what his game was, but he didn't waste any time getting to work on her and she got the idea real quick.

His hands are all over me…he's undressing me…I like it! No…I love it! I want him to touch me even more…

Rukia didn't fight it, instead she watched his face with interest, and how his breath quickened as he rid her of her clothes had particularly intrigued her.

He had taken his sweet time, using his tongue to make her feel tingly excited all over, using his fingers and lips to torture her entire body sweetly.

It was heaven…please don't let him be mad…

Ichigo eyes Rukia as she enters his room, and she's wearing an expression he's never seen before. It's a mixture of anxious, scared, and perhaps even a touch of guilt.

"You're finally home…I missed you." Ichigo says, feeling like an imbecile, but Rukia gives him a hopeful look in response.

"I've missed you too, but I've kind of got a confession to make." Rukia tells him, and Ichigo holds his breath for a long moment, but she doesn't spill it.

"Okay…go ahead…" Ichigo says, prodding her into responding, but instead she bites her lip nervously like she's afraid to speak.

"I'm…not sure how you'll take it though…" Rukia says, and Ichigo takes a quick breath before asking the obvious.

"Did you cheat on me?"

"I don't think so, but you might!" Rukia replies quickly, and her answer doesn't make him feel better at all.

"What in the hell is that supposed to mean?" Ichigo asks, his voice rising with his emotions.

"Exactly how it sounded!" Rukia responds, and Ichigo resists the urge to grab and shake her.

"Enlighten me already!"

"I won't tell you if you're mad…" Rukia says, backing away from him, and Ichigo drops his head before smacking his own forehead with his right hand.

"For the love of….Rukia, I'm about to lose it. Just tell me everything, before I go nuts!"

"Not until you calm down." Rukia says stubbornly, and Ichigo visibly struggles to gain control of himself, while staring her down as if that will give him answers.

"I'm calm."

"No you're not, you're just saying that." Rukia counters, and Ichigo shuts his eyes, forcing himself to not start yelling in response to that, because he's sure that will get him nowhere…

But it might feel really good to yell at her anyways!

"The reason I'm having a hard time staying calm is because I'm imagining the worst." Ichigo says, with his voice audibly strained.

"Well I didn't have sex with anyone, or oral sex, and nobody touched my private places…do you feel better?" Rukia asks, and to her surprise, his expression looks a great deal calmer after hearing that.

"Yes…so I'll ask again…what did you do that you don't consider cheating that I might?" He asks, and Rukia ducks her head while blushing.

"I got a back massage at the same time as Momo from a pair of identical twins…" Rukia starts out, and Ichigo scowls, not liking it, but he isn't feeling a rage beyond control either.

"I think I can forgive you for that-" Ichigo is cut off by his lovely fiancé.

"That's not all." The only words he was hoping she wouldn't say just came out of her mouth…

"Okay…what else?" Ichigo asks, and Rukia takes a deep breath before she spills it.

"I also watched those same twins have sex with Rangiku-san…but I don't remember any of it, I swear!" Rukia says, and Ichigo squeezes his eyes shut tight before asking the obvious.

"Then how do you know you didn't have sex too?" He asks, and Rukia crosses her arms while looking him square in the eye.

"Momo didn't get drunk. She swore nothing else happened…besides, I didn't wake up naked, and Momo isn't a liar." Rukia says, and Ichigo begins to feel himself calm down.

"I don't like it that you watched that…or that another man touched you…but I don't consider it cheating since it was your bachelorette party. You'd better not pull that shit when we're married though." Ichigo tells her, and Rukia grins at him.

"It's only a few days away now." She says, and Ichigo smirks at her.

"You thought I was going to call it off?" He asks, and Rukia looks away shyly.

"I worried about that…" Ichigo stands up and walks over to his fiancé to give her a bear hug. Rukia sighs and hugs him back happily.

"It won't be as easy as that to get rid of me. You think I'd let you get away? You're the love of my life…and besides, you weren't mad at me over what happened at Inoue's apartment." Ichigo tells her before he kisses the top of her head, and Rukia smiles into his chest.

"I missed you Ichigo…in a few days you'll be my husband." Rukia whispers, and Ichigo smiles at that thought.

"My bachelor party wasn't nearly as interesting as yours…Sado, Keigo, Mizuiro and I went to a few bars, ran away from Inoue, and then I came home." Ichigo tells her, and Rukia laughs into his chest.

"Must you always run from that girl?" Rukia asks as she rubs her cheek into his chest, feeling infinitely happy…even though Ichigo snorts in response to her question.

"As far and as fast as possible." That's all he says about that, and Rukia giggles.

"Thank you," Rukia says softly, and Ichigo kisses her head again.

"You're welcome," Ichigo whispers, and Rukia tilts her head up to look at him, so he leans down to kiss her.

Nothing will stop me from marrying her…nothing.
