~ BLEACH

Ichigo was having fun at the party with Gin, who continued to make him laugh. Though, he was still aware of Aizen's eyes burning into him, and he could feel the lashing energy. In fact, his back was begining to butrn a bit. "Hey, Ichi, are ya okay?" asked Gin, concerned. "Y-ya, I just need to use the bathroom." said Ichigo.

He left and headed into the men's room. He removed his shirt and looked to his back to see long, red, burn marks. 'He really was lashing at me.' thought Ichigo. "What happened ta ya back?" asked a voice. Ichigo jumped and saw Gin. "Why'd you follow me in here?" asked Ichigo.

"I was worried ya were sick." said Gin. Ichigo could see his aura still, he was telling the truth. But, he also saw something deeper he couldn't make out. "Ichigo, what's really goin on?" asked Gin. Ichigo gulped and the older man stroked his cheek.

"It's okay, just tell meh." said Gin. Ichigo let out a sigh and told Gin all the weird stuff that has been happening since he got here. From the weird steward, to the dreams, and the auras. "I-I don't understand what's happening, this Aizen guy I met, it felt like he was lashing at me from across the room." said Ichigo, shakeily. "What 'bout mine?" asked Gin, gently.

Ichigo looked to see blood red eyes and he smiled a bit. "It's the same as Aizen's in size, but, I feel safe around you, Gin." said Ichigo. Gin smiled and laughed a bit. "Theres a reason...I'm a demon." said Gin. Ichigo was shocked and Gin went on.

He told Ichigo his old life with Rangiku, how he became a demon, his friend; Yamamoto, the guild, Shiro and Zangetsu, and their mission. "I'm gonna get in a lot of trouble, but, since ya can see the demons easily now, it should be fine." said Gin. "Ya, but, holy shit, this all sounds like its from a damn horror story." said Ichigo, amused. Gin laughed with him as the teen put his shirt back on. They left the bathroom to see the lights dimmed and people slow dancing.

"It's the last song of the night." said Ichigo. Gin suddenly grabbed Ichigo's arm and pulled him towards the exit. "Wh-Gin, what is it?" asked Ichigo. "Tha party is almost over, Aizen is gonna strike." said Gin. "Wha-but where are we going?!" demanded Ichigo.

"Somewhere safe, away from Aizen." said Gin. Ichigo nodded and followed the demon man. They left the hotel and the two ran down the sidewalk and towards the downtown area. "So, where is this safe place?" asked Ichigo. "Tout en temps voulu, mon amour." said Gin.

Ichigo glared, he really needed to understand French. He stopped when he remembered and this caused the demon to stop. "Ichi, what is it?" asked Gin. "I looked up all the things you've said to me in French, why were you saying all that?" asked Ichigo. Gin was still, but then came over where he pulled the teen into a kiss.

The teen was still but found himself returning the kiss happily. Wrapped in the other's embrace, they stayed like that till they broke apart for air. "Je t'aime." said Gin. Ichigo didn't need a dictionary to know what Gin said. Remembering what else he saw in the book, he looked at Gin, smiling.

"Je t'aime trop." said Ichigo. Gin smiled wide and happily pulled the teen into another deep kiss. He pulled back and lead Ichigo down the street to where ever this safe place was. The teen could stop blushing as he gripped Gin's hand a bit tightier. He could still feel the fire from the kiss and he wanted that feeling again.

'Gin, you damn demon.' thought Ichigo fondly. They soon stopped and Ichigo saw they were outside a church. Gin pushed open the door and the two went inside. Standing at the front of the room was an albino man and the desk clerk at the hotel. "Gin, who have ya brought with you?" asked the albino.

Ichigo looked at the two, Zangetsu had blue aura that was the same size as Gin's, but well controlled, while the Albino who he believed is Shiro, had red aura that was wily and crazy. "It's Ichigo, the one Aizen is targetin." said Gin. "You told him everything, didn't you?" asked Zangetsu. "Ichi already knew, he even saw Aizen as he truely is, he can see auras like Yamamoto could." said Gin. "Doesn't matter, the rules say we have ta kill you now for revilin our secrets." hissed Shiro.

Ichigo paniced and the faced the albino. "Shut the hell up, Gin told me so I was more aware of the danger, besides, if I wasn't to know, why did Yamamoto give me all these warnings about the Scarlet moon and Aizen?!" demanded Ichigo. Both demons were shocked and Zangetsu went to him. "Yamamoto has spoken with you?" asked Zangetsu. "Ya, since I first got here, he even gave me this." said Ichigo, pointing to the earrings ribbon thing.

Zangetsu was silent and Shiro looked at him. "Things haven't been makin sense for a while now, if we could talk ta tha old man, tha'd help." said Shiro. The teen then had an idea and looked to the three demons. "What about his manor, in my dreams, I was always there, plus the time I saw in the real world, it was at his manor." said Ichigo. "It's worth a try, maybe we can finally chat with Yama-chan." said Gin.

The two demons nodded and headed for the door. Ichigo went to follow but was pulled back and kissed by Gin. "Thanks for stickin up for meh, Mon amour." purred Gin. "Anytime, Gin." said Ichigo. They shared another kiss and left the church to follow the other two demons.
