So last week was my presentation week, it's basically hand in week and this weekend I slept through most of my time away.
I now have three weeks break so I will write and post as I finish the chapters not each weekend as a form of apology for my late updates.
So here is the new chapter!

Chapter 18: One day in Las Noches
Uryuu was honest to god scared.
This was not what he thought would happen, he imagined to come to Las Noches and possibly finding these hollows in trouble and they would offer their aid and Karin could see her brother once again and everyone could be happy but no…
Here he was being held by the throat being glared at by venomous red eyes, then he finds out that the blood-soaked grounds was Quincy blood followed up by a story of how they captured and either forced them into servitude or killed.
He didn't have the guts to argue.
Why would Ichigo lie about it anyway?
Karin slowly stepped closer.
"Ichi-nii, what's going on?"
Red eyes flickered over to her before they snapped to the blue haired man standing an ends way from them.
"Grimmjow, do we still have that shit Aizen had, those shackles and collars?"
Grimmjow looked up I thought as he tried to remember if they trashed it or kept it.
"Yeah we still have them, why?"
His answer was Uryuu being thrown in front of his feet. "Chain him up and take him to the dungeon."
"Ichigo!" Karin yelled and grabbed his arm as Uryuu was roughly dragged up to his feet.
"Grimmjow…"
There was a warning tone in his voice that sent every hollow and Arrancar stiff in fear. "He is not a prisoner, it if for his own sake." That got the red head a mountain of confused looks. Sighing Ichigo walked till he was standing in front of Uryuu once more and was looking down at the dark haired teen.
"You are a pure Quincy, what is to stop them from coming after you? They would want you to fight for their cause. I will not allow you to hurt my sister in any way. Me killing you would no doubt sadden my sister. I am keeping you here under lock and key so that you won't do anything stupid." Ichigo said never taking his eyes from the dark blue hues of the Quincy.
"Think about it, if they came to you, you and your pride would have chosen them over your friends." Ichigo stepped closer. "You would have even given up the chance to be with the one that makes you smell like a male in a rut." The whisper was hissed and Ichigo's eyes were hard making them look like rubies.
Ashamed Uryuu looked down, he knew he would have done so.
Grimmjow nodded when Ichigo looked at him and turned around.
"Come on, the dungeon isn't that bad. It's actually clean as we haven't even used it once."
Well, that made him feel a little better, Uryuu thought as he followed the blue haired Espada as the rest watched him like hawks.
The rest looked back at Ichigo who was now looking off into the distance deep in thought.
"Come." He said after a few moments and turned around. The group followed after looking all over the place now that they could in peace.
"Ichi-nii?" Ichigo looked over his shoulder at Karin who was just behind him, with a jerk of his head Karin came to his side and looked up at her brother.
"Did the Quincy really do what you said that did?"
Ichigo hummed as he led the group to the throne room, once they got there he went to his throne and sat down with a slump. He rested his chin on his fist as he looked down at the group of humans and Shinigami.
"Yes, they were here to gain a larger army to attack your precious Soul Society." Ichigo looked bored as he spoke up his eyes were alive as he looked down at the group.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you tell me they already attacked you."
Shinji who remained quiet till now shifted a little and walked forward.
"Ichigo…"
Hard blood red eyes did an 180 and softened.
Ichigo sighed and made a wave motion to those in the room and everyone including the Espada left.
Ichigo rose from his seat and walked down the five steps till he was back on the same level and then walked right up to Shinji and raised his hand to gently run in over the man's cheek.
"They killed head captain Yamamoto's lieutenant," Shinji whispered as he looked up into red eyes. Ichigo nodded and rested his hand on the other man's shoulder. "I need to think about this… You are all welcome to stay here." Ichigo said looking at the other who looked a little unsettled.
"I will need all the details before I decide what to do." That seemed to get their spirits higher and they all nodded.
"Las Noches has many rooms, I'll let your friend stay with you in one of the many suits for the time being." That got the group of friends to smile thankfully.
Ichigo spiked his reiatsu and the Espada and a few servants came in. Ichigo instructed the servants to get the rooms ready as well as get Uryuu who by now had to have his cuffs on. After that, he led the group to what seemed like a large room used for gatherings.
Everyone found a seat somewhere as the room had many large cushions that looked more like beanbags, there were couches here and there and an occasional armchair here and there. Ichigo walked to the largest couch holding onto Shinji's hand.
Falling onto the couch and dragging Shinji down with him Ichigo motioned for everyone to find a seat. He then shifted on the couch so his back rested against the armrest with one leg on the couch and Shinji was on his side snuggled onto his chest with his cheek resting on Ichigo's chest near his shoulder due to the man having a large hole in his chest.
The human/Shinigami group watched as each Espada took a seat here and there, the most amusing one was the First Espada who walked to the one corner where a mountain of pillows was and unceremoniously flopped onto them face first and started to snore.
Shinji looked up at Ichigo when he felt Ichigo's chest move up and down with a low chuckle.
Ichigo looked down and stroked his cheek again.
"Starkk can fall asleep in an instant, it is rather amusing," Shinji smirked and snuggled into Ichigo's side uncaring about who saw.
What the two love birds didn't see was a shocked Orihime, she blinked and looked at Karin only to see her smirking with a gentle look in her eyes as she looked at the scene before her. What was going on? Ichigo and Captain Shinji seemed to know one another, worse they seemed to be in a relationship.
This wasn't right…
Looking back at the scene Orihime watched as the two spoke softly, Ichigo's hard look seemed to have melted and he was looking at Shinji as if he was the most beautiful person in the world.
Byakuya was looking at the scene but not with the same feeling of confusion, he just couldn't believe that such a frightening man was capable of such a face but the protective hold Ichigo had over Shinji was enough to tell him that there was real emotion.
"So what happened in Soul Society ?" Ichigo asked still looking at Shinji.
Byakuya was the one to answer.
"It was a normal day when we were attacked and when we were notified it was too late and they had already attacked and killed Head captain Yamamoto's lieutenant Chōjirō Sasakibe. When we found out that the Quincy king has woken we knew we would need your help but we were unable to get to Hueco Mundo, we were in fear that it could be the Quincy so we had Urahara look into it. Two days later here we are."
Kenpachi grinned and narrowed his eyes.
"Your turn, what made that blood bath?"
Ichigo gave Kenpachi a blank stare before a cheeky lopsided grin made itself known on his lips. "I did."
Kenpachi barked out his laughter as he eyed Ichigo where he reclined on the couch with Shinji snuggled against him.
Hyori snorted and shook her head.
"That doesn't surprise me." Her eyes held amusement.
"How did you do that?" Renji asked from where he sat on one of the large pillows, Rukia was sitting next to him on another pillow looking just as interested. In fact, all of the guests looked to be near sitting on the edge of his seat.
"Simple really, I just went into my release form and killed them all."
Renji and all those who had seen it blinked. Well… that surely explained it.
"Did you just attack them or do you know why they were here?" Byakuya asked as he looked around to see most of the Espada bristle at his question. Odd.
"We did wait them out till we knew what they wanted."
Byakuya sat forward resting his chin on his interlaced fingers.
"And what did they want?"
Ichigo sneered showing off his teeth as his eyes flashed a fiery orange.
"They wanted us."
The room was deathly silent. "They wanted you?" Shinji asked as he looked up at Ichigo who's hand that moved to his hip tightened.
"They wanted us to convert…"
"What?"
All eyes turned to Uryuu who had a red collar around his neck and two red cuffs, one on each wrist.
Ichigo leveled him with a bland look.
"Sit."
Uryuu sat down quickly, ironically it was right next to Orihime.
Ichigo sighed and rubbed his face with his free hand. "They wanted to get a big enough army to… overwhelm us and to capture our five highest rankings and lower if possible, then they were to force change onto us. Make us into something I don't want to think. It probably would have made us stronger but I wasn't even going to give them a chance to ask as they had been killing hollows just for wanting to be left along."
Eyes all looked at Ichigo as he looked down at the blonde haired man looking up at him with toffee brown eyes.
"Why?" Uryuu asked and this time, it was Shinji who answered as he was older than Byakuya.
"Because it is mostly to do with revenge, after all, we did kill many of you Quincy but you didn't give us any other way. You were killing so many hollows that the balance between the worlds began to shift into instability and that would cause the end of the world. We didn't like it let me tell you but we had to. Now with a serious lack of soldiers they wanted to bulk up."
Uryuu looked down at his hands with a frown on his face.
"Quincy is the enemy of the balance." Ichigo said in a monotone voice as he stared off into the distance.
Uryuu looked up at Ichigo ready to snap at the man but when he looked into the man's eyes he saw sadness.
"And sadly… you Quincy have pride that is worse than Shinigami, you all think you are right when you are not. You kill countless innocents who have nothing to do with your wars. Your wars are to force your viewpoints and morals onto the other. You are so similar in your duplicitous ways that it almost makes me sick. There is, however, one thing that makes the Shinigami better than you Quincy."
By the middle of his speech he had stood and started to walk to the side of the room that sported windows, the light shone through making his hair light up making it look as if it was on fire.
"And what is that?" Uryuu asked looking at Ichigo who was stalking back and forth.
Ichigo stopped and looked at Uryuu.
"Shinigami have showed me that they are willing to change."
Uryuu blinked as he looked at Ichigo who had a sad look in his eyes again.
"Quincy have pride that will send them to their deaths, if you join the Quincy I will kill you. I know Karin and her friends will be hurt by it but I will not let the Quincy harm those I love and the balance."
The whole room chilled at the threat as Uryuu gulped at the look in Ichigo's eyes. He wasn't joking, he wasn't playing around. He was serious in his threat and Uryuu liked living thank you. Even if he was a pureblood Quincy he wouldn't be that stupid to go against Ichigo. They all knew Ichigo was still holding back on what he truly had in power.
He nodded accepting his temporary stay in Las Noches.
Orihime looked uncomfortable as she too looked into Ichigo's eyes.
This was a man she knew she would never have, he was far too strong and well just out of her league as well as… well dead.
It made her a little upset, the man was just so… alluring.
Ichigo then sent the group off into separate groups being a Shinigami group sans Karin and the Human group with Uryuu to two suits that would have enough rooms for them all.
Shinji stuck to Ichigo refusing to leave when Byakuya asked if he was coming to.
He was lead to Ichigo's room that was eerily quiet, it felt like there was something missing. The room looked so… unlived in. "This is my suite; do you want to take a bath or shower?" Ichigo asked as he looked over his shoulder. Shinji shifted where he stood looking around at the bland white walls, white couches, white everything.
"No… I…" Toffee brown eyes locked with red.
The red head seemed to understand what the blonde wanted and walked till he was in front of his mate. Gently Shinji was lead by hand to the largest double door. Inside was a room that looked far better than the main room, it was still neat but there were a few things here and there to show that Ichigo more or less lived in this room.
He was then pushed down onto the large white bed, his hair fell around him like a sheet of liquid gold.
*Warning Yaoi starts! Read till the next bold text if you want to skip it!*
Shinji gasped as cold hands smoothed over his cheeks, something in Ichigo's eyes bothered him, it was a haunted look.
"I sometimes regret making you go back to Soul Society." Ichigo said softly. Shinji frowned as he looked up into Ichigo's face. "I… with this war you will be in danger, I know you are not weak but I still worry." Cold fingers gently made their way down his neck, over his clothed chest to the white obi.
It was undone with ease and with no restraints his outer layers were removed leaving him only in his underwear which was a pair of boxer briefs. Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "What no traditional underwear?" He asked with a smirk.
Shinji blushed scarlet and looked off to the side.
"They're comfier."
A thought came to him, he looked at Ichigo remembering he hadn't even seen if the other male wore any undergarments.
Ichigo grinned as he caught on.
"I don't wear underwear."
Shinji gasped as Ichigo crawled over him and rested his full body weight on his making him feel how much Ichigo wanted him. His blush grew as Ichigo ground his hips against his making a lovely sensation of friction soothed over his frazzled nerves only worsening his lust for the man that was slowly becoming his world.
"Please…"
Ichigo looked him in the eye, waiting to hear what he wanted.
"Take off your clothes."
Ichigo smiled more gently and nodded before he rose and slowly undid his clothes, it wasn't a full on strip tease but the slow movements and hungry eyes made Shinji shiver as skin was revealed.
Again the black bandages around Ichigo's stomach remained on, Shinji had to wonder what they were for, clearly they weren't just normal bandages for looks but they did something. He was about to ask when Ichigo removed the last bit of clothes and slithered his way up Shinji's body peppering it with kisses and bites here and there at random, each time he got a small jump.
Once they were face to face Ichigo claimed Shinji's mouth in a slow but passionate kiss that sent his mind spinning.
He felt slightly warmer hands slowly slipping his briefs off and the feeling of pure skin against skin was heavenly to his Ichigo starved body.
He arched as he was driven mad by teasing touches, never going where he needed to be touched the most. He nearly whined when Ichigo pulled back but he watched as the man reached over him, his longer body making the distance to the bedside table. The long strong muscles stretched and his mouth waters at the sight of the pale skin just above his face.
Unable to resist he leaned forward and gave the chest before him a long languid lick making Ichigo pause in whatever he was doing only to shiver slightly.
"You shouldn't stir me up Shinji." Ichigo warned with a breathy growl. It sent shivers up his spine and goosebumps over his skin.
When Ichigo was back from his stretch to his bedside table Shinji saw that Ichigo had gotten lube. A small fear came over him.
Had Ichigo taken another while they were apart?
Ichigo looked into his eyes and saw the sadness and doubt as he looked at the half-full bottle. He quickly put two and two together and sighed as he placed the bottle next to Shinji's head.
"I had sex yes but when I finally had you, the day I claimed you as mine I never touched another, I had no need to. I had you." Ichigo said as he gently ran a finger down the side of Shinji's face.
That raised his spirits somewhat, yes he may have had sex before but so did he.
"That's good, I don't have to kill anyone then." Shinji said as he stretched his arms around Ichigo's head and wrapped them around the broad shoulders of his mate. "I don't share." That got a lopsided grin from Ichigo as the heat returned tenfold into those eyes melting the cold frozen ruby like irises into molten blood flowing out of an open wound. He shivered when Ichigo leaned down and whispered into his ear.
"I don't share either."
He didn't get a chance to say another word as his mouth was thoroughly claimed and invaded by a devious tongue.
To the side, he heard a faint click but in his hazy mind, he didn't put much thought to the noise till he felt a chilly finger slicked with lube probing at his entrance. He shifted to a more comfortable position and gasped into Ichigo's mouth as the finger pushed in.
Ichigo broke the kiss to look down at Shinji who panted as he looked into red eyes.
"Do you play with yourself?" He asked is a breathy whisper.
Shinji moaned as the finger was joined with another, it wasn't as hard as it wasn't at the first time. He moaned again when the fingers started to move, remembering that Ichigo has asked a question he nodded.
"When I was alone at night, thinking of you."
That got him the reaction he was hoping for. Ichigo slipped his fingers out and coated his member with the lube and positioned himself at the small hole.
"You said that just to rile me up didn't you?" Ichigo asked with a smirk as he tilted his head making the waterfall of hair fall over on of his shoulder. The white strips standing out in the moonlight. Shinji caught the sight of one of the strips with a bead missing and flushed as he remembered the bead still in his hair.
He nodded and gasped as Ichigo pushed himself inside and didn't slow till he was sheathed deep and brushing against his prostate.
"You asked for this." Ichigo hissed as the tight heat surrounding him tightened. He began to thrust at a slow but hard pace, he changed his angle with each thrust looking for that spot that would put stars in his eyes and he knew he had it when Shinji gasped and clung to the sheets.
Leaning down he growled into Shinji's ear.
"Scream. My. Name." With each thrust, the words came and Shinji had not reason to deny his mate as he started to moan the name of the man that was making him see stars and feels as if he was high enough to actually touch them.
As each thrust came, his voice became louder, his pleasure was too much to hold it in as his body was pounded into. "H-harder!" He screamed as Ichigo nailed his prostate over and over again. His body was heating up; his mind was solely focused on the man making love to him. He yelled and panted as his body was pleased by heavy thrusts that sent it closer to the edge of oblivion.
Forcing his eyes open Shinji looked up and moaned at the sight. Ichigo was looking at him, his eyes glowing faintly in lust as he took in each and every reaction Shinji made. The gaze was fixed on his face as Ichigo made the occasional grunt or soft moan but Shinji's favourite was when Ichigo groaned his name.
It all soon became too much for Shinji. "Please…um t-touch m-m-me!" He screamed as Ichigo increased the tempo of his thrusts. A now warm hand wrapped around his member as he was pounded into at an inhuman speed that matched the hand wrapped around his stiff member.
He screamed Ichigo's name to the fake sky as he came tightening around Ichigo, that sent the man off the edge along with the look on Shinji's face as he came, the kiss-swollen lips stretched out as it formed his name before they went slack along with the rest of the body with the small quiver here and there.
Shinji moaned as he felt the hot release of semen into his body and panted as Ichigo stilled over him. He was out of breath and felt so sated he didn't think he could move even if he wanted to.
He moaned when Ichigo pulled out and allowed a small trail semen to follow.
Heavy eyelids fluttered open.
*Alright! Yaoi scene is over!*
The near slumbering blonde watched through heavy lidded eyes as Ichigo got up and walked to another door, it was shown to be a bathroom. Shinji heard a faucet open and the rushing sound of water before it was closed and Ichigo came out cleaned off and a washcloth in hand.
He was cleaned up and lifted up as Ichigo tore the sheets from the bed and laid him down before he left the room again only to reappear with clean sheets. Ichigo gently covered him before climbing into bed himself. Shinji snuggled into the larger body.
Ichigo's warm hands gently caressed his arm and back, it all lulled him to sleep as he listened to the rhythmic breathing of his mate.

Back with the humans, the teens all but threw Chad and Karin into one room with the only double bed.
Both teens blushed hard as they eyed the bed.
The two teens then eyed each other.
They would just… share a bed… right?
Sighing both teens undressed and got into the spare clothes handed to them, Karin in the bathroom and Chad in the bedroom.
Once done they got settled in the bed with the awkward feeling of being too aware of the world around oneself, the two teens were hyper aware of one another. Chad hated the feeling of being so awkward. He slowly inched closer and hugged Karin close to his larger bulk and remained as he was leaving the rest up to Karin.
Karin stiffened with the initial touch but relaxed when she felt the warm chest against her back and the feeling of Chad's reiatsu surrounding her like a blanket. However, when she started to wiggle to get a better sleeping position she heard Chad inhale sharply.
Her face coloured bright red when she felt something twitching at her backside. Her heart threatened to escape her chest cavity by how hard it was beating. Slowly she turned around to face her boyfriend and looked into the eyes she could barely make out.
The two teens looked at one another and a silent conversation went by as they both tried to gauge one another in the moment of heat.
(Um… so hetero love here… um, no sex but… um, fingering and a handjob? I don't know what the term for it is… oh well.)
Karin was the one to make the first move as her hand went up the big man's shirt, she pushed it off till it reached his shoulders where he took it off himself. They wouldn't have sex, it was too early and they were too young for that but the moment and the looks one another gave as well as the raging teenager hormones spurred them on to get some sort of physical touch as well as release.
Now that the male was shirtless Karin ran her fingers over Chad's chest, scars littered the man's chest but Karin didn't think them ugly. Chad's big hands were rubbing the back of each arm slowly moving up to her shoulders where he kneaded them slightly.
Once that got boring the hands moved to the front, they hovered over perky breasts, he was hesitant he knew this but hell this was a major jump in their relationship and he didn't want to screw it up. Smaller paler hands moved over his and lowered them so they rested on the swell of flesh with only a thin shirt between full skin on skin contact.
Pale hands went back to his scarred chest, the hands mapped out the hard slopes and grooves that formed the muscles of his chest.
Both their hands moved lower in sync, the hems of their pants were slowly pushed down just enough for hands to slip in but not to see. It wasn't like they could see anyway as it was nearly pitch black in the room. Chad inhaled sharply again as smaller pale hands with a heavy layer of callouses gripped him a little too tight but the hold relaxed as the hand started to move back and forth.
Chad's hands parted ways as one moved to the smooth skinned hip while the other lowered till it reached a dark patch of pubic hair that was still soft due to lack of sexual interaction.
Hesitantly he slipped a finger into the slightly moist folds, the tip of his middle finger touched something slick and pebble like. Unsure of what he was doing he pushed down on the nub a little and was nearly as startled as Karin when she gasped and shoved her face into his chest to keep herself quiet.
"Do that again." She moaned as her hand started its tempo again. He nodded even though she couldn't see it. He moved his finger in a small circle. He liked the way she shivered and gasped while her hips jolted here and there. Feeling a little braver he lowered his fingers, the lower he went the wetter it got and he knew he was close to her core.
Swallowing around the lump in his throat he gently pushed his middle finger into the wet core, his bit his lip to stifle his groan of appreciation, the hold on his finger was tight and wet as Karin's inner muscles tightened in surprise.
Karin herself was panting slightly as Chad moved his finger back and forth, Karin moaned something but Chad couldn't make out a word but guessed and hoped he was doing the right thing.
He slowly entered another finger and was relieved to hear Karin moan into his chest as her hand sped up in her own pleasure.
The two teens having no stamina in anything sexual quickly found release and kissed to swallow each other's cries of ecstasy.
Once the heat of the moment had passed and their bodies started to cool they snuggled up and sighed as they felt oddly content and sleepy.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next morning found Karin rudely woken by her phone going off, she answered sleepily but woke up in a snap as her father's panicked tone spoke words she didn't want to hear.
She dressed in haste when the phone call was ended and Chad got dressed quickly following her out to the hall where the Shinigami's suite was opposite their but Rukia was already up and looking just as frantic. Something must have shown in their reiatsu because Ichigo was in the hallway looking at them with a worried Shinji at his side. They both looked pristine and somehow that wasn't what most expected but when Ichigo leveled his sister with a look she started to speak so fast that even Byakuya was looking at her with wide eyes.
Everyone thought Ichigo would ask her to repeat herself but the slam of heavy angry reiatsu dismissed that theory.
"Oh really now…" Ichigo growled and looked at Rukia who still looked frazzled.
"Soul Society is under attack, captain Yamamoto has called as back this instant."
Ichigo looked at Karin.
"Go to Soul Society and help your friends. I will go to the human world."
Shinji looked at Ichigo when the man turned around.
There was a question in the man's eyes.
Swallowing Shinji spoke.
"I'm coming with you."

Riiiiight
So any guesses on what's going on in the human world?
There will be more scenes in Las Noches with the Shinigami in the next chapter, mostly Kenpachi with Yachiru meeting Nel.
Thanks for reading!
