Chapter 18
I woke up in the candy shop, or I should have, but instead I found myself surrounded by skyscrapers that latterly seemed to touch the night sky and it's unnaturally big moon. I groaned knowing full well were I was. The last time I was here I was strapped down and forced to swallow the blood of the demon and my Old Man. What was I doing here now? I needed to be with Rukia and to my unhappiness Orihime. When I got back to the shop with the girl slung over my should Yuroichi was about to have a fit and it only got worse when I told them that she was still alive. I sighed heavily. I didn't want this. I wanted to marry Rukia, became a doctor, provide for my sisters, and hang out with the Old Man. Now I'm finding out things that I didn't know where possible about myself. I starred at the moon and grinned at it. I loved what I was! A laughed excepted my parted lips;I licked my teeth. I could still taste Orihime, but she was nothing compared to my mate. Though I didn't taste her as much as the other, Orihime could not compare to my Rukia. I honestly don't think I want control over this.
"Are you sure about that Ichigo?" spoke a figure I didn't know.
"Who are you?"
I couldn't explain it, but this man made me beyond uneasy. I wanted to run, but those eyes behind those glasses silently dared me and I knew if I did, it wouldn't end well.
"You know me Ichigo, just in another form. What is my name?"
A middle age man stood before. On his face were narrow glasses, unkept facial hair, and his head was ragged long black hair. A long black over coat with red hues swayed to the right, just like his hair as if it were being carried by the wind when there wasn't even a draft. His face gave no emotion as he talked. He neither frowned or smiled like the white version if me did. That must have been the other form he was talking about, but talk about a personality switch! "Your him" I muttered.
He didn't seem to be bothered by my answer yet answer, "By him I assume you mean my counterpart. It is true he and I are one in the same, but that is not our name." he said the last part firmly, daring me to guess wrong again.
Surprising myself, I suddenly say, "Zangetsu."
He nodded in acknowledgement, than repeated. "Are you sure you don't want control? Before you answer, remember what has happen since your power has awaken. You killed your father, Aizen, have scared your sisters away, and turned your mate unwillingly. Don't you want to see them again and not have them afraid of you?"
I couldn't say anything to that. I did want to see them again. I hated that I killed our dad the way I did and in front of them too. What kind of brother am I? "No, I don't want them afraid of me, but Isshin killed our mom. I got angrey and couldnt control you. He deserved every second of what I did to him."
Zangetsu grinned at that, causing me to flinch away. It didn't look right on his face all. Suddenly he grabbed me by my neck. I kicked and punched at him, but Zangetsu didn't seem to feel any of it. Without warning, I was smashed into side of a building and when I looked up a wolf on two feet towered over me. Tints of red fur came to life under the full moon, black gold eyes surrounded in inky blackness glared at me, and black claws were inches away from tearing into my neck. "How I would love to watch you die Ichigo, but that can't happen. I need you aware, bloodthirsty, and savage, to live this life now. You seem to not understand that we NEED a pack! When I'm done with you, you'll truly be an Alpha and one that can rule other Alpha's.
RUKIA'S POV
When my eyes fluttered open. I found myself snuggled closely to Ichigo in his tight grip. Like a bear hug...only we were on a sleeping mat...and he wasn't a bear.
I tried to wiggle my way out from under him, it wasn't that I didn't want to be there; he didn't stink or anything, man do I love the way he smells...I was just hungry.
"I wouldn't try to leave Ichigo's side so quickly Miss Kuchki."
Looking up, a man in a stripped green and white hat stared down at me...I think. I couldn't see his eyes because the hat's shadow was obscuring my view. "Who the hell are you," I said before I could stop myself. Why the heck was I being so hostel? I didn't like this man being here...wherever here was-seeing Ichigo and I in such an enterment way "Where am I?"
Unexpectedly, he bowed before, but it wasn't like any bow I've ever seen. His eyes suddenly shined grey, close to a bright silver and he let out a soft growl with his chin to his chest.
"I am Urahara Kisuke, Miss Kuchki, and you are in my store, Urahara Shop."
As he spoke, he didn't look at me, now that I think about it, the only time he did was when he bowed. I sniffed the air and was shocked that he smelled like Ichigo's house.
"Why am I here?," I took another sniff to make sure, "and why do you smell like Ichigo's house. I tried to move out from Ichigo again, but Urahara suddenly spoke, "Please Miss Kuchki, do NOT move and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have. What you smell is Mr. Kurosaki's scent. As you know Isshin was a werewolf and Ichigo was half human because of his mother."
I nodded, knowing all this already but didn't interrupt.
"Isshin had a pack small pack of his own. My family here in the shop and a few others in this town as well. You'll find they also smell like Isshin. The reason for that is so that wolves can tell who is pack and who is not."
"So-wolves will smell like their Alpha's. Am I right?"
"Yes, Miss Kuchki, that is correct."
"Why an I here and why won't you look at me?"
"Would it please you if I did?"
"Yes, it would, and please, call me Rukia."
"Well Miss Rukia, Ichigo is the be the new Alpha as you know and you are his mate. Looking into an Alpha or his Beta in the eyes for too long is a sign that a wolf is challenging your leader ship as an Alpha and or Beta. If that happens the Alpha or Beta must fight to the death with that wolf."
"Beta? But I'm not a werewolf."
"Well that's where you're wrong and it also answers your question of why you are here. Two nights ago Ichigo marked you, quiet hard, and accidentally turned you in the process."
"Marked me? I don't feel any different."
"That's because the moon has passed and since you haven't changed once yet you won't be able to feel the wolf like I can feel mine now." As he said that, his eyes glowed again. "Yoruichi, hun, will you come here and show Miss Rukia my mark." He looked back at me, "Werewolves do this because we're territorial and want everyone to no what we claim so they can't take it."
A tall elegant female with the a chocolate skin tone, purple hair in a pony tail, and gold eyes walked in. They did the same thing as Urahara's did as she graceful bowed before me with a small growl.
"Oh, yes, I forgot. As I am sure you have already guessed, we do this as a sign of respect."
"It is nice to meet you Rukia."
I smiled and nodded. She did smell like Isshin.
Urahara spoke once more, "As far as any noticeable changes. You'll only be able to smell wolves from humans. I'm not entirely sure why the scent of smell is always the first thing to come, but we think it's for when Omega's or pups can't find a pack. Now, love go ahead and show Miss Rukia what I did to you the night I made love to you."
Yoruichi looked like she wanted to smack Urahara in the face, but looked at me and thought better of it. She turned around and lifted off her shirt. At first I only saw flawless skin; however as I starred at it longer, angry crazed scars ran horizontal and vertically across it and teeth marks were permanently tattooing her flesh. I couldn't help but gasp.
"Yeah, I know. When I saw what he did to me I was furious," Yoruichi was glaring at Urahara.
"Aw don't look at me like that Yoruichi, you know that was the best night of your life."
For what ever reason, he was suddenly hiding his face behind a fan. I looked at myself,or what I could see of it with Ichigo's big body around me, but couldn't find any markings like Yoruichi's. "Why can't I see mine? Do they look like Yoruichi's?"
They took a looked at me and they both winced. I couldn't feel anything wrong with me.
"No female and see their mate's mark, but lightly feel them and I must say Ichigo marked you really really hard Rukia."
I decided then, that I didn't want to know what they look like. I would get a good idea in the future anyway. So instead I asked another question. "Why can't I move?"
"You'll need to be the first thing Ichgo sees when he wakes up. As I speak Ichigo is going threw a major part of accepting is role as the Alpha and coming to terms with his wolf. Kurosaki will either wake up crazed and completely out of his mine or he'll be a dominate in charge Alpha...either way he won't kill you or the girl in the other room because you smell like pack. We need him calm and not trying to kill us so my family and the rest of Isshin's pack can become Ichigo's pack."
I nodded. It made since...wait...other girl? "What girl?"
"Last night Ichigo was supose to kill a human, but returned with her still alive and infected. Killing her would have made everything easier for Ichigo, but because he didn't, he is as you see him now." Yoruichi said with a rather annoyed looke on her face.
"Don't mind Yoruichi, she's just grouchy because she had to take care of her all morning."
"Do you know her name?" I asked.
"I believe it's Inoue Orihime."
Orihime! What the hell Ichigo! At that momment the orange head female decided to peek through the door. I sniffed and my eyes widen. Besides the smell of bread I could smell Ichigo all over her. Hostility began to creep inside me again. I knew all about Orihime's crush on Ichigo. Everyone new it, but Ichigo until the end of eighth grade. She never shown any signs that she was heart broken by it, but we all knew. Even while Ichigo and I began dating I had a feeling she still was crushing hard over him.
"Aw Miss Inoue! I'm glade you decided to pop in!" Urahara said happly, "I must turn my attchen away from Miss Rukia towards my wife. I'm sure you must want to talk to her." As he said this, Urahara got up and at the same time pulling Yoruichi to her feet.
Orihime nodded and took the two lovers place. I curled up closer to Ichigo's form. Secretly I wanted her to see that I belong to Ichigo. She didn't seem to notice and just smiled at me. I noticed that she didn't bow like to me at all. Not that I liked being on a high horse , but it irritated me that she didn't submit. This had to be the wolf.
I let her think about what she wanted to say, but after five minutes I decided to go first. "It's nice to see you again Orihime."
"You too Rukia, it's been a while." We both nodded at that.
"So I guess-"
"He's mine."
"-Yoruichi told-what did you just say?"
She looked at me right in the eyes and I saw the unspoken challenge in them that stirred something in me. Just when I was starting to not hate this chick. Her brown eyes began to glow, she bared her teeth at me, and snarled, "Kurosaki-kun. Is. Mine!"
Before I could speak she yanked down the collar of her shirt revealing many patches of red purplish skin and a few scratched...hickies! I silently screeched to myself.
"Those are not Ichigo's." I said more to fool myself than her, but I had to face it. Her necked reeked of Ichigo.
"Cut the crap Rukia, I know you can smell him on me," she purred lovingly.
At that moment I wanted to smack the bitch so hard that her head would spin, but I didn't dare want to risk waking Ichigo. Ever since she came in her Ichigo's grip on me only seemed to tighten and I was finding it hard to breath. Or it could have been the rage that was building in me that I found it so hard to breath.
"You wanna know what he did to me last night?"
Stay calm Rukia. I told myself. Nothing she can say will get a rise out of you. Don't spoil the Kuchki's name by snapping out at her childish taunts.
"First it was the night of the party."
A slight small crack blemished my wall of anger, but it was nothing serious.
"I was wasted and when I spotted Ichigo with his unbutton shirt," Orihime let out a shiver, "I couldn't help it. I had to taste him. His abs and chest where just out there like a platter of yummy steamy hot steak."
In and out Rukia, In and out.
"I dragged my wet tongue slowly all over his eight pack and he shuddered under me."
He crack on my emotions suddenly got bigger. Breathing wasn't doing he trick so I let my eyes roam everywhere, but Orihime's face.
Then last night, I was wearing the shortest dress possible. Nothing you could ever were with that small chest of yours and Kurosaki-kun showed up at the club. He said he was hungrey, so I offered to make him something to eat since the bar didn't serve food. I took him to the wolds, he didn't seem to mind because before I new it, his hard sexy body and lips were pressing against me."
The cracks in the wall were joined with bigger cracks and I could feel the anger bleeding into me. No doubt Ichigo did them. I could hear the truth in her words, but they were laced heavily with lies. The poor girl didn't seem to realize that Ichigo had no planes of turning her. "Orihime," I finally say, " Ichigo tried to EAT you!"
"Yeah I know," she smiled hands on her cheek like she was ready to swoon at the memory, "and boy did he eat me."
That did it. I knew fully well what she was implying and it pissed me off to no end! I found myself bearing my teeth and growling, and actually animalistic, at her. She smiled at me with a glint in her eye then said, jealous Kuchki?"
With that, I tackled her to the ground out for blood.
A/n-This chapter is long for me. I wanted to put the fight in this chap, but that would have been another thousand. Please don't flame me for mistakes. My computer on bitching again and the auto correct for iPods are annoying!
P.S.S- Check out THE DARE by bluemoon101! I am co-writing it with my twin.
