Opposites Attract
Chapter 6 Together
Two weeks have passed since the day Ichigo accepted Kyōka as a second zanpakuto. During this time skip Ichigo and Tia have definitely reached the best friends of opposite genders that obviously have feelings for each other level of friendship.
Tia and Ichigo's sister acted like sister towards each other now. Tia played a great older sister role in Ichigo's eyes and his two sister looked up to her.
Most of the times where ever Tia was Ichigo is as well. The rumors in Karakara High school had risen immensely since the holding hands thing. Orihime was angry a lot and a little moody now since she knew her chances were slim now with Ichigo as she could see the chemistry between Ichigo and Tia.
Little did Ichigo and Tia know but today was the day their relationship would change. It started like every other ordinary day.
Ichigo got up and stretched his arms and looked over to see his bed empty. Ichigo got up and was surprised at what he saw. In the bathroom was Tia putting on a T-shirt but she was having some problems getting down her arms as she still wasn't used to wearing T-shirts.
Ichigo could see her bra and much of her tanned, lovely breasts quite clearly because of the fact her arms were up. Ichigo was aroused slightly at this amazing morning sight.
Every day Ichigo's feeling for Tia have constantly increased and he knew for a fact he loved everything about her. Ichigo could easily say he would do anything for Tia.
Tia finally got the T-shirt down and noticed Ichigo looking at her and decided to tease him as she learned that Ichigo was a bit of a prude over these days and what she has heard.
"Like what you saw?" She said with a sly smile on her face. Ichigo blushed at this and wondered what he should say.
"Uh...Yeah." Ichigo said while lowering his head finding the ground suddenly very interesting. Now Tia had a blush on her face and thought, 'maybe this means he likes me like I like him.'
The two then ate breakfast and headed to school. During this time skip Uryu has started to put a little trust in Tia. Tatsuki became good friends with Tia as well after a Hollow attack.
-One week earlier-
A hollow came out of a Garganta and headed towards its specific target: Tatsuki. Tatsuki turned to see a Adjucha level hollow looking her down. She knew Uryu, Ichigo, Chad, and Orihime weren't nearby to help.
Right when It was about to bring down its hand to smash her. It's hand got severed clean off by a Tia.
"I hate it when male hollow like yourself attack females even if this time it's a human since it brings back bad memories of when I had to eat souls." Tia said as she threw Tiburon right into the hollow's head.
"You okay Tatsuki?" Tia asked as she turned around looking at Tatsuki.
"I am fine. Why did you help me then? I have been not very friendly towards you." Tatsuki asked Tia who responded quickly.
"I helped you not on my own sake but for Ichigo. You are a close friends with him that I can tell and for that reason I protected you, because you are friends with the man I owe my life to." Tia said with complete conviction and honesty.
"You protected me because of that. Are you really a hollow?" Tatsuki asked because she couldn't believe a hollow could act this selfless.
"I am and I will prove it now." Tia said as she unzipped her jacket and made her mask fragment appear. The three on her breast showed itself to the world, the only sign she was ever a Espada.
"What you know is my name but what you haven't known yet is my rank. I am Tia Halibel the former Tercera Espada third strongest of the arrancar." Tia said as she sighed at bringing up her previous title.
-Back to present-
Tia smiled as she recalled the moment that led up to her and Tatsuki becoming friends. After a while Tia told Tatsuki about her feelings for Ichigo and Tatsuki kind of expected it from how much Tia wants to please Ichigo and make him happy.
Tia and Ichigo arrived in the school and the two were greeted by Tatsuki and Chad.
"Hello Ichigo and Tia." Both of them said to Tia and all four headed to their classroom. When they got into the classroom Tia and Ichigo were greeted by the teachers as usual. The rumors of Tia and Ichigo had spread to the point the two acted like they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Ichigo had opened the door for Tia and she gave him a kiss on the cheek very quickly you would have had to have a good eye to see it. Ichigo blushed lightly from the small peck on the cheek. The two walked in the classroom getting jealous glares from the other students.
The girls were jealous because while Ichigo didn't know it was that he was quite popular with the ladies. The guys were jealous because well that is kind of obvious- Tia's amazingly good looks and her big breasts were the reason.
The rest of the day past by extremely quickly until it was time to train. During the two weeks Ichigo mastered every arrancar technique except for opening a Garganta. Today Tia was going to teach and little did the two know but this day was going to change their relationship.
"Alright now to open a Garganta you must concentrate on going to Hueco Mundo. Usually it helps if you think about negative things to make a Garganta." Tia explained while putting her hands beneath her breasts.
Ichigo nodded while trying not to look at her now larger looking chest. Ichigo then focused about his mother's death and all the negativity he gets when he thinks about it.
A rip appeared in front of him but it was so large some of the reiatsu concealing ceiling fell apart. A whole bunch of hollows now came from their own Gargantas. They then heard Tessai running towards them.
"Get out of here now. Soul reapers are coming soon." Tia looked around and saw Ichigo's Garganta and grabbed both of them and they were hurdled through.
-Hueco Mundo-
Both Ichigo and Tia landed on vast desert of Hueco Mundo. Ichigo landed face first into the sand and Tia landed on top of his back with a loud oomph noise.
"Owww." Both of them said at the same time.
"Could you get off me Tia." Ichigo said as he looked up at a now embarrassed Tia.
"Sorry I didn't mean to fall on you." Tia said getting off Ichigo who dusted his Soul reaper robes getting the dust off it from the fall.
"It's fine you couldn't control where you landed. I am just glad you didn't get hurt too badly." Ichigo said kindly which made Tia's heart beat. She now had a blush on her face and looked around.
"It's been a long time since I have been home." She said looking around. Ichigo observed her looking at where Los Noches was.
"Do you want to see what is happening in Los Noches?" Ichigo asked more than willing to take the trip with her. She then looked at him with a small smile.
"Sure I wouldn't mind checking out my old home." The two then started running towards Los Noches and all Ichigo could think of was, 'I am having déjà vu.' The two kept running through the sand not giving a sign of being tired until they heard a sound of footsteps.
Ichigo and Tia turned to see 8 Vasto Lordes looking them in the face. Before any word was spoken the one Vasto Lorde in the middle of them threw a object at Ichigo. Ichigo had no time to react when the object wrapped around his arm.
"What do we have here boys. A arrancar and soul reaper. What has the world come to. Good thing I had the spirit energy disabler on me." The one who threw the object at Ichigo said.
He had a T-rex skull mask on his face covering his whole face. He had armored plates covering his arms that were colored a dark olive green. He had a sword shaped like two claws, his chest was exposed showing some well defined muscles and a six pack. He had claw like armored boots on his feet that made marks in the sand. Lastly he had a green tail whipping behind him.
"Ha looks like we caught a tough one huh, Scalor." A Wasp looking one said to the Vasto Lorde who caught Ichigo -Scalor.
This wasp looking Vasto Lorde had spiked yellow boots, decently sized winds, most of his face showing due to the gap in his mask showing his mandibles, and he had a stinger like sword.
"Shut up Wisp (very creative name I know)." A Vasto Lorde said to Wisp. This one had a blood red sword, a mask that he can open or cover his head like a helmet, talon like red boots, and razor sharp claws on his hands instead of a sword, and red plated armor covering his whole chest.
"Dracis I wish you wouldn't boss wisp like that." A female voice said making her appearance. She had fur covering her arms and most of her chest, bony armor that supported her C-cup sized breasts, the same bony armor covered most of her face except her face and her flowing silver hair. She also had fur on her feet and for her weapon was a regular dual sword that were on her back.
"What you going to do about it Slephy." Dracis retorted back at his ally who scoffed and looked away. One of the Vasto Lordes looked at Ichigo and said.
"That object is something I the great Radittes Lupre made. It saps most of your spirit energy disabling it for a while." The Vasto Lorde said with a extremely high ego.
Radittes had red hair that went wildly behind him and had a mask that completely covered his face. He had two hawk wings on his back, lion feet with armored boots, a long sword with lots of spikes on it, and feather on his upper part of his chest.
"Stop bragging Radittes, you are the weakest of all of us. I, Mala am the second strongest of our little group." A female Vasto Lorde said who had blade on her arms, a bony ninja like mask covering all but her eyes and brown hair. She had b-cup sized breasts and she had a ninja like garb on with two katana on her waist.
"Stop talking Mala, your annoying so just let me rest." A male voice said. The male Vasto Lorde had the appearance of a dolphin with the dolphin tail. He had a blue cloak covering all of his body except his face which showed he had a look of complete boredom on his dark skinned face.
"Enough talking Tempest it's time to fight. Radittes you fight the soul reaper." Scalor said instructing the weakest member of the group who went to charge Ichigo who had a hard time dodging with his Reiatsu disabled.
He drew Zangetsu and the long sword and Ichigo's cleaver like sword collided. Radittes easily won in the clash with the reiatsu weakened soul reaper. Tia saw this and turned to help Ichigo quickly using her Resurrección , but was blocked by her opponents.
"You really think we will let you help him." A Vasto Lorde whose name hasn't been said yet. While Tia could easily handle one of them all seven of these Vasto Lordes easily overwhelmed her.
Scalor slashed her with his sword which left a deep gash causing blood to explode everywhere. Then Slephy attacked from Tia's left slashing her across the side of her stomach causing more blood to come out of her.
Ichigo saw this and was angered so with every bit of physical strength he had he threw Zangetsu and it hit Mala whose Hierro blocked it from cutting her. Ichigo was then cut down from the stomach to his chest by Radittes.
Tia was stabbed by Mala on both sides of her shoulder causing Tia to scream in pain. Tia then fell to the ground almost dead. She looked over at Ichigo and became made when she saw Radittes stabbing Ichigo multiple times. A yellow light enveloped Tia.
When the light ended all Tia's wounds were gone. She had a ribcage like bony armor barely covering her breasts. She had a short white skirt that showed a lot of her legs. She had white boots with what looked like a shark fin right on the back of her boots. She had the same shark like fins on the elbows of her gloves. On her rear end a shark tail was waving behind her. Lastly she had a shark tooth necklace on her neck and her body was illuminated with yellow reiatsu making her definitely look like a goddess.
"Resurrección Segundo Etapa." She said like it was natural while grabbing her now shorter shark fin shaped sword.
"What the Hell!" Scalor said in complete confusion as Tia charged him and plunged her sword into his stomach causing blood to spray over her tan body, the blood made her armor now glow red.
"You have made me reach the peak of my anger." She said in a angry calm voice. Unlike Ichigo when Tia becomes mad she still stays calm then act out of pure anger.
"Tia..." Was all Ichigo could say as before Radittes could hit Ichigo with another slash Tia cut off the Vasto Lorde's arm.
"I haven't forgot about what you did to Ichigo and as a result I will kill you in the most painful way you can imagine." She said with fury towards the Vasto Lorde who hurt Ichigo so badly. She then jabbed her sword into his ankle causing him to shout loudly in pain.
"You b..itch." He barely managed to say as she moved her sword to the side halfway severing his ankle so the lower part of his leg was dangling.
"You just made me reach my breaking point. Anyone who hurts Ichigo will get the most pain I can inflict on them..." She then had a rare maniacal grin on her face."It's not my fault I am a hollow."
Tia was now releasing the darker side of her and was acting like a normal hollow did. She then with her bare hands ripped off what was left as his ankle while the other Vasto Lordes watched in terror and curiosity. After she ripped the appendage off Tia slashed upwards with Tiburon causing a giant gash.
The gash went from Radittes' stomach to his left shoulder blade causing more blood to spray on Tia coating her face with blood. The other Vasto Lordes finally got a grip on their senses and charged.
Scalor want to slash Tia and managed to cut some of the skin on her arm. Slephy managed to slash some of Tia's back. Ichigo watched this and was full of anger. He watched helplessly as the one he cared about was being hurt. He felt anger coming straight from within.
Then a huge cyclone of wind went everywhere and Ichigo was enveloped by a cyclone of wind from the rise in his power. The Reiatsu disabler dissolved from his power. Zangetsu changed semi drastically.
Zangetsu's appearance changed, giving the blade a silver hilt with gray wrappings, and a short length of chain at its base. The blade itself becomes slightly reshaped, curving inwards at the backside of the tip, similar to a trench knife.
Kyōka Suigetsu also changed a little bit. The blade now had what looked like spikes on its blade now. (It looks like Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu after he regains his powers after his fight with Aizen except it is white.) The sword glowed a lustrous silver.
Ichigo had four black vertical lines on his forearms and black, tattoo-like bands crossing over his chest, wrists, and ankles. Similar bands, but with white ends, lie around his neck as collar. His captain's Haori also changed as the sleeves were tore off a lot like Kenpachi's Haori.
"Now you will pay for hurting Tia." Ichigo spoke coldly as he charged the Vasto Lordes who have wounded Tia.
"What the hell." All of them said at once. Ichigo quickly cut a unnamed Vasto Lorde right in half giving him a quick death. Ichigo's zanpakuto then began charging a Getsuga Tensho.
"Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo yelled and fired the attack at him easily killing him by disintegrating his body completely. Ichigo then charged Wisp and hit the Vasto Lorde with the hilt of Zangetsu knocking him out.
Ichigo quickly went towards Slephy and used a open palm punch to knock her out completely. 'You have gotten good king with the increase in our power. It figures we just keep getting stronger.'
'Is it because we are both more accepting of each other now and are no longer fighting each other?' Ichigo questioned his inner hollow. 'I honestly don't know, but I do know we have a talent for getting stronger after every battle. ' Shiro said with a confident grin on his pale face.
Ichigo now had a grin on his face as he thought, 'I guess you are right this time Shiro."
"I don't like having to hurt women so you don't have to worry about being killed." He said as he turned towards Mala. Once he turned Dracis attacked from the side with his hands which Ichigo grabbed before they could damage his skin.
Ichigo then punched Dracis hard enough to knock him out. He then flash stepped towards mala and put his hand on her head. Ichigo then used his reiatsu to knock her out .
Tempest then charged Ichigo only to get cut down the middle by a wounded Tia. All of the adrenaline know left his body and Ichigo started to fall thanks to his previous wounds that were having their toll on him.
Tia looked at Ichigo and the only thing going through her head was that she had to help him. 'I enough energy to make a Garganta and bring the two of us trough I just have to hope that anyone who finds us are people we know.
Tia then flicked her hands creating a Garganta and limped towards Ichigo. She picked him up carrying him barely. If Ichigo had woken up he would have found his head in between her boobs.
She Then dragged the booth of them into the Garganta.
-Human World-
Tia and Ichigo landed in a park with Tia trying to break Ichigo's fall. Tia saw two peoples silhouettes.
"Please help Ichigo." She pleaded not knowing she was asking Ichigo's soul reaper friends Renji and Rukia. Rukia's first thoughts were, 'Who is this arrancar?'
Renji felt some respect for Tia as he saw how she tried to break her and Ichigo's fall. Rukia also hoped that Ichigo didn't have a romantic connection with this women as she had yet to admit to him that she liked him.
"Rukia let's get these two to Orihime she can heal these two up." Renji said to her.
"Renji why do we have to take the hollow with us she probably tried to hurt Ichigo." Rukia said wanting a excuse to not take the beautiful arrancar woman with her.
"You seen how she was holding him trying to soften his fall. Also she knew his first name which means he told her that and usually that idiot doesn't tell his enemies that unless they are powerful." Renji pointed out.
"Fine." Rukia said with a huff. Renji picked up Ichigo while Rukia picked up Tia and the twpo darted towards Urahara's shop.
-Urahara shop-
Once Rukia and Renji arrived at the store Urahara greeted them.
"Good evening Rukia and Renji... I see you found Ichigo and his new friend. Tessai come and get this two and start healing them!" Urahara said which made Tessai come into the room.
"I will heal them pronto okay boss." Tessai said looking at Urahara as he dragged Tia and Ichigo into another room. As soon as he left the room was filled with tension that anyone could cut with a knife.
"Where should I begin?" Urahara said as mysteriously as possible while he let out a sigh. 'Ichigo should have told these two about this earlier. He should have know they would support him.'
"Start at the beginning Kisuke." Rukia said very firmly and Renji nodded agreeing.
"Well It started after his battle with Aizen. He found Tia when he was investigating her Reiatsu traces as he could tell it was from a injured arrancar. When he found her she was almost at death's door. All she said was she had to get revenge on Aizen. " He then paused dramatically.
"To cut it short he brought her to Orhime who healed her reluctantly, then Ichigo agreed that Tia should stay with him. The he revived Miss Halibel's fraccion as a favor to her. I have been keeping a watch on them as Ichigo couldn't possible hold them all. I also have noticed Tia and Ichigo have gotten very close in the time the two have spent together. It may have only been about three weeks but I can tell the two greatly care about each other." Urahara said in complete seriousness.
Rukia clenched her fists when she heard how close Ichigo and Tia had gotten, while Renji thought, 'Wow Ichigo you are one sly dog getting a attractive girl like that.'
The two soul reapers decided to wait for Ichigo to wake up to decide what action to take, though Rukia planned on giving Ichigo a good talking too about the risks of keeping Tia safe.
Tia woke up before Ichigo and quickly went beside him. 'If I was stronger I could have prevented him from getting so hurt.' She thought as a lone tear went down the side of her cheek.
Rukia then went in the recovery room and tried her best to ignore the arrancar because she was worried she would start thinking about how Tia had a better chance at being with Ichigo.
Ichigo woke up after a while and saw Rukia when he woke up.
"Where is Tia?" He asked worriedly not noticing the tan arrancar was right behind him.
"I am here. How are you, Ichigo?" She asked concerned about him.
"Fin-" Ichigo was saying until he got interrupted by Rukia punching him on the head.
"You idiot! Do you know the risks of keeping a arrancar safe? You will be killed as soon as the S.S finds out. Plus how do you know you can trust this women. You have just been trying to play the hero." Rukia said thinking Ichigo hadn't planned a thing while completely worried he might like Tia.
Tia realized the risks Ichigo was taking now and while it hurt her heart she thought of one solution. All this time she had been ignoring the fact that what Ichigo was doing might be also dangerous for him.
"Ichigo I am going to go. I have put you in too much danger by being in your house. Not only am I a danger to you but also your family. Goodbye." She said while tears ran down her face as she ran out of the shop.
Ichigo got up quickly and turned to Rukia.
"Rukia did you forget I did the same for you. S.S. wanted to kill me back then as well so I expected more from you." He said as he gave her a disappointed look before taking after Tia.
As Tia ran each step made her heart ache. She wanted so badly to go back to Ichigo yet she didn't want to put him in danger.
Ichigo hurriedly used Pesquisa to find where Tia was and started flash stepping towards her in a very panicking way. Ichigo was worried he wouldn't be able to find her and hoped his hurried Pesquisa found her and not another arrancar.
Ichigo's flash steps eventually made it so he was in sight of her. He was rejoicing inside his mind overjoyed he found her. Ichigo then did a shocking move by grabbing her shoulder effectively stopping her.
Tia turned around and was surprised to see Ichigo looking at her with a overjoyed expression. He surprised her by embracing her, resting his head on her shoulder.
"Why?" She asked confused as to why he would chase her. "Why did you chase me when I put everyone close to you in danger? Why did you chase me when it puts your family and friends in danger?"
"Because..." He then looked her in the eyes with a very sincere look on his face. "Because I would do a lot of things for you. Because I care about you Tia. Because you are the rainbow that awaits me after the rain." Ichigo said with all the compassion in the world as his arms wrapped around her back.
"Ichigo." She said with compassion in her voice. "What do you mean by that you care for me?"
"Do I have to spell it out? I l-lo-o-ve you." He stammered with a red blush on his face this caused Tia to look up at him.
"Ichigo... I don't know is what I feel towards you if love as a arrancar has never experienced as far as I know, but I know I like you... more than a friend." Tia said with slight pauses.
Ichigo gave no worded response to her words but sis respond with a action. He pulled her towards her so that their bodies were closely pressed together and kissed her passionately.
Tia wrapped her arms around Ichigo's head while his hands wandered down her back and found their resting place above her waist. Ichigo then deepened the kiss by slowly entering his tongue into her mouth which she didn't mind and she let out a quite moan.
Both of their hearts were beating extremely quickly and they were overjoyed. Tia had never felt such a good feeling as she did while she was kissing Ichigo. They slowly broke apart from the kiss before starting kissing each other again.
Ichigo was glad he got to have his first kiss with a great women like Tia. Once their make out session was over you could see a thin line of spit connecting their mouths.
Tia lowered her hand so it reached Ichigo and the two of them smiled at each other.
"Tia would you like to be my girlfriend?" Ichigo asked her even though he had a good idea of what the answer would be.
"Of course Ichigo. Why wouldn't I?" Tia said with a sly smile on her face.
"I am just glad that you are my girlfriend." Ichigo said relieved that she accepted even though he expected it after their first kiss.
"Was that your first kiss as well?" Tia asked him with a now nervous look on her face as she dreaded that someone else once was with him.
"Nope you were the first and I couldn't imagine any better women to share my first kiss with." Ichigo said while grinning at her.
"We should go home now." Ichigo said to her.
"But..." Tia said while looking away.
"Forget about it. I always knew of the danger and so did my dad so my home is your home, plus you are my girlfriend. Got it."Ichigo said while making her look at him while he looked intensely at her.
"Okay." She said with a smile as she gripped his hand tightly. The two of them then started walking towards his house with big grins on their faces.
Both of them were thinking about how great the kiss and make out they had was. Both of them had been mystified at how it felt.
"I almost forgot we have to get our Gigaies." Ichigo said as he remembered their bodies. The two then rushed off to get their bodies.
-Ichigo's house-
After they got their Gigaies back, Tia and Ichigo returned to their home. Ichigo opened the door and was surprised to see his dad didn't try to kick him. The two then walked in while holding each other's hand.
Ichigo saw Yuzu making dinner just as she turned around and saw he was holding Tia's hand.
"Hi Yuzu. Where is Karin and dad?" Ichigo asked his little sister whose jaw dropped now. Ichigo now realized she was looking at his hand which was holding Tia's.
"Helllllllllooooooo Icccccchhhhiiiggoooo!" Isshin said as he now tried to get Ichigo from behind with a roundhouse kick which Ichigo expertly blocked with one hand.
Isshin then gasped when he noticed Ichigo's hand.
"MASAKI OUR SON HAS A GIRLFRIEND NOW! WE ARE GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS!" Isshin exclaimed while hugging a poster of Masaki.
"Relax we only have become boyfriend and girlfriend it is too early to have a child!" Ichigo exclaimed while he gave his father a kick to the head.
"So you two are together now?" Karin asked her brother and Tia. Both of them started blushing.
"Yes we are together now."
"We expected this would happen." Yuzu said which surprised Ichigo and Tia.
"What do you mean by that." Tia asked Yuzu while she was raising on of her eyebrows.
"What she meant was it was so obvious that you two like each other. You two always are following each other. Both of you always are blushing when you get in close contact so you are not being subtle." Karin said.
Both Ichigo and Tia blushed and thought, 'We were that obvious.'
"You have great taste in women son." Isshin said while making movements with his hand. Ichigo responded with kicking his dad again.
"Shut up!" Ichigo yelled at his dad. He then grabbed Tia's and dragged the both of them upstairs. Once they got upstairs Tia started nervously fidgeting.
"You can sleep with me tonight if you want. I don't mean any other way then just sleeping beside me." She said while blushing crimson.
"I don't mind and my mind wasn't in the gutter so don't worry." The two then lied down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
