Miquel's Speech - Ichigo's inner world

Unknown Inner Speech - Ichigo's inner world

"Nel I think it might be time for us to go, we have been here for a while." Well in reality it hasn't been a very long time, but I don't want to make her upset by saying that. It's getting pretty late, Aizen probably left an hour ago to attend to some things. We have been just standing here the whole time, Nel still has her head shoved into my chest and has been death hugging me.

"Okay Ichigo, it is probably getting late, let's go." Just like she normally does she started walking away and dragging me by my hand. I'm surprised she decided to go so quickly though. "Ichigo do you think we could just walk home today, I want to enjoy ourselves some more."

"Of course we can Nel, I would really like that." We reached the entrance of Las Noches and she finally started to slow down, I caught up and now we are just walking at a normal pace. She wrapper her arms around my right one and leaned her head on my shoulder while we walked. This is first, of course it is nice though.

"I'm really glad we did that Ichigo, I just can't think of a life without you. This shows people how close we are now and forever, it's more than just having others be able to see our bond though. I feel closer to you know than I ever have before, there's only one more thing that I can think of that can increase our bond. I think I'm almost ready to go through with it to." Wait she doesn't mean, no there is no way she would be talking about that.

We just kept on talking about things that brought us here; the day we met was something that neither of us has forgotten. We were almost at our palace, walking here definitely takes a while but that doesn't matter. "I think I'm just going to go to sleep Nel, sorry if you wanted to do anything but I'm really worn out form today."

"No Ichigo that's what I was planning on doing to, let's go before it gets too much later." Again she started dragging my off, I should just get used to this. We got to our room and Nel went into the bathroom and I got ready to lie down. I placed my swords up against my side table and laid my cloak over it. Nel came back out and she was carrying her sword and sash, laying them both on her nightstand.

I climbed in and Nel joined me quickly, she laid her head on my chest like she has been doing. I moved my arm around her and pulled her closer to me, "I love you Nel, and get some rest."

"I will Ichigo, love you too, good night." With that I let myself fall asleep. When I opened my eyes and found myself in what looks like my inner world but has some major changes. The tall grass field is now shorter, the tree's seem to be bigger or just closer I'm not sure. It isn't really a flat field anymore either, slight rises and dips are here and there. Lastly I noticed a small stream running about twenty feet away from me, the bank made of small stones.

Looking around some more I found Miquel, he was currently standing on top of one of the bigger hills around the area. I started to walk over to him and noticed I wasn't just walking on grass anymore, looking down I saw an old rock path that the grass has grown up through. I wonder why all of this changed. That would be from your new found connection with Nel. I'm actually somewhat surprised you went through with it, now I'm just waiting for you to claim her. Oh god, don't start on that.

Since your reishi changed so much your inner world had to compensate for that change, that's why you see so many new things. Nel's reishi was lighter and livelier than yours was, which caused all of this that your reishi by itself would never do. Well I'm glad it had some kind of effect on this place, I'm just wondering why did you bring me here Miquel.

That is somewhat complicated at the moment, right now just listen, I'll explain as much as I can. Okay this has to be important, he never acts like this.

Firstly I want to know if you are going to go through with killing Aizen or not.

I was planning on it Miquel, I'm just not sure when or where it will end up happening.

I want you to promise me you will always think before you act in the future. You will start to learn very important things about yourself , I fear it might change who you have become. Your parents never wanted you to get involved in conflict but it seems it has a way to find you, for all of your friends sake just don't act rashly because of what you learn.

Don't worry Miquel I'm not going to do anything that I would regret, I can't afford to make bad choices anymore. Was that all you wanted to talk about Miquel or is there more.

Just one more thing, when are you planning on taking Nel hmm?.

Jesus Christ Miquel why do you have to act like this, I'm not going to "take" her. I'm done with this, I'll talk to you later Miquel. I started to leave my inner world and I took a look over to Miquel who had a smile on his face. Don't deny it Ichigo, it will happen sooner than you think. I was back to the real world now and opened my eyes.

I decided to go for a quick walk, hopefully clear up my mind about these thoughts. I moved myself from under Nel as slow and softly as I could, definitely don't want to wake her up. I grabbed my cloak and swords, putting them in my sash on my way to the door. I took a quick look over at Nel and she is snuggling up to my pillow now, probably wanting something close to her. Maybe I should stay or wake her up, Miquel what do you think I don't want any smart ass comments either.

Company is always nice Ichigo, I'm sure you know that very well. Yeah it is, I guess I'll see if she would want to come. Hopefully she doesn't get upset or anything. I walked over to her side of the bed and put my hand on her shoulder, I gave her a light shake. She started to wake up and let out a big yawn, "What time is it Ichigo."

"Sorry Nel, I couldn't sleep so I was going out for a walk I was wondering if you wanted to come."

"Yeah just give me a second to grab my stuff." She got up out of bed faster than I figured and tucked her sword in her sash. "Okay I'm ready let's go." We started walking outside and once we did I felt the cool breeze hit my face, it actually feels really nice. I reached over and took Nel's hand and we started walking in a random direction.

"Ichigo, do you ever dream." That is a bit odd, I'm sure everyone dreams at some point or another.

"Yeah I do on occasion, why have you not had any dreams or have you had nightmares or something." She let out a small chuckle to this.

"Yeah I have dreamt almost every night I can remember, I also don't have nightmares Ichigo. I was just wondering what you dream about." Oh that makes sense, can't believe I didn't figure that one out.

"Most of the time I dream about us, you know what our future is going to be like. Sometimes I dream about doing things with our friends. Other times they aren't about anything nice, just really bad memories or things I hope never happen." While I was saying I dream about us and our friends Nel had a smile on her face and looked happy. Once I mentioned about the bad ones she dropped her smile.

"I'm sorry Ichigo I didn't think you would dream about that kind of stuff, yeah now they memories and stuff." I looked over at Nel and put my free hand on her shoulder, and I looked her in the eyes and could tell she was upset that she asked what she did. She seems a lot like me in that regard, kicking yourself over something you didn't even know about.

"Nel I don't mind talking about it, I know that those things are behind me and now I know what's ahead of me. You Nel, you're my future and I want you to know that. Nothing you do will make me mad at you so don't beat yourself up over this okay? Please." She pulled me into a hug and laid her head on my shoulder.

"I know I shouldn't beat myself up over that kind of stuff but it is hard not to." I know that all too well too.

"Okay Nel lets keep going, I'm sure there are other things you want to talk about." I pulled away from the hug and looked at her, now there is the smile I love. I leaned in and gave her a quick kiss, "Come on Nel."

We walked for a while longer just enjoying it, I could feel Nel wanted to ask some questions but was keeping them to herself. "Nel if you want to ask me something you know I don't mind." She started to blush slightly and looked down at the floor a bit.

"I know Ichigo, it's just kind of embarrassing to talk about." What is so embarrassing, maybe it's about something with our sleeping arrangement. Or maybe it's about our bathroom, which could be kind of embarrassing to talk about. You are so helpless Ichigo, how can you be so dense now but when I talk to you about it you just go nuts. What are you talking about Miquel, I don't get it. Exactly Ichigo you are hopeless, however lucky for you Nel is trying here.

Oh whatever Miquel. "What is it you want to talk about Nel, I'm sure it isn't that bad." She looked up at me and still had a big blush on her face.

"Well it's about us, well more specifically something we would do." What on earth is she talking about, oh man I'm so confused.

"Nel to be honest I still don't know what you are want to talk about. If it is too embarrassing though we don't have to talk about it okay."

"No I want to talk about it; first I was wondering what do you think about me." She knows how I feel about her why she needs to ask.

"You know how I feel about you Nel, I don't understand why you asked."

"I didn't mean like that Ichigo, I meant about me...physically. Like are you attracted to me in that way?" I didn't expect that, I do like her in that way to of course. I just never knew how she would react.

"Of course I'm physically attracted to you Nel, I just don't want you to think that is the only thing I like or want from you." She gave me a big smile to that.

"Thanks Ichigo, I know you don't see me as just that. I'm glad that you do find me attractive though, I was starting to think maybe you weren't. I'm just wondering if you want to do that." Ah, what exactly does that mean. Come on Ichigo, use your head. I'm thinking I just can't think of anything. Do I have to spell it out for you, she wants to have SEX. Wha… No way, she wouldn't be asking to do something like that.

Go ahead and think what you want Ichigo, you will eventually find out that is what she was asking. Maybe she was I doubt it though. "I'm sorry Nel but I still don't really know what you're talking about. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually so just give me some time, we should probably head back home and take a shower."

She had a small frown on her face but said, "Okay Ichigo, I guess I'll just have to start being more forward." Okay hopefully it isn't anything too crazy. I'm ready for a nice hot shower, we have another mission starting today to. We both headed towards our palace in a buzz of sonido, reaching it a lot quicker. We headed straight for our room, and I went for a shower. I was getting it ready when I heard the door open, Nel was peeking her head in.

"Can I come in Ichigo?"

"Sure Nel, I'm just getting the water going I can give you some privacy if you need to use the bathroom."

"No I don't need to." What else would she be doing in here than, it doesn't matter anyways. I checked the water and it was perfect, I looked over at Nel who was currently looking in the mirror. I quickly took off my clothes and stepped in, it feels amazing. I'm going to wash my hair first, so I grabbed the shampoo and putting some in my hands. I started rubbing it through my hair but heard the shower door opening.

"Do you need anything from in here Nel?" She didn't answer me which surprised me. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and it freaked me out.

"No I don't need anything Ichigo just going to take a shower." Uh what?

"Uh Nel? What exactly are you doing, why are you in here." I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair and looked over at her, she just put her hand on my chest and captured her lips on mine. She was putting a lot of emotion behind it, I quickly put some of my own emotion into it as well. I don't know why she is doing this but I like it.

She opened her mouth a little and I slipped my tongue into her mouth, she quickly started fighting with my tongue. I could hear her moan slightly and lean into me more, her chest started to press against mine. I never imagined her breasts to be so soft, I put my hands on her hips and pulled her closer. We broke apart from our kiss, both out of breath as she put her head in the crack of my neck and started to breath lighter.

"Let's just enjoy this okay." I uh I'm not sure how to respond. Before I could say anything she captured my lips in another kiss, just as passionate as before. We enjoyed this for a while before breaking apart again, I could feel her hand sliding down my chest. What is she... oh man. I nearly lost it, I never expected this.

She was lightly resting her hand on my penis, than slowly moved along it. "We can at least enjoy this Ichigo, but I want to wait a little while until the real thing okay." She started placing kissing on my neck and continued stroking me.

"Of course Nel, I want it to be special for both of us." She crouched down and started to pick up the pace, I could feel her breathing on me and now I'm going nuts. She put her mouth over the tip of it and started swirling her tongue in a circle on the tip. Then she slowly started putting more and more in her mouth, it feels so amazing too.

After a couple of seconds she worked about half of it in her mouth, it kept feeling better and better the more she took in. She started to bob back and forth and I think I'm starting to lose it, this feeling is driving me crazy. After a couple of minutes of this I could feel myself getting close to an end, "Nel I'm gonna... gonna cum!" I expected her to stop but she kept going faster than before, I can't hold it any longer.

I let it all out on the back of her throat, I could hear her let out a small gasp. After a couple of seconds she let go of me and started breathing in heavily, she looked up at me with a small smile on her face. "That was a lot more than I had expected Ichigo, next time I'll be more prepared." Wait she wants to do this again, uh I'm at a complete lost here.

I heard her get up and she wrapped her arms around me, "Let's finish getting ready Ichigo, we can talk about this later if you want."

"Yeah sure thing Nel, I just have to ask why you did that." She got a slight frown on her face from hearing this.

"Because I love you, and this is the kind of stuff that people will eventually do when they love each other. I just figured you would enjoy it sorry if I disappointed." How can she think I'm disappointed, I just don't understanding why she decided to do this.

"I'm not disappointed Nel I just don't understand why you decided to do it is all."

"I want to be with you Icihgo, I want to make you happy and I was talking with Harribel and she said that sexual interactions could help make you happy. I'm not sure if I'm ready for real sex yet so this was the best I could think of, I thought we both enjoyed it though." Oh man Harribel, I never would have expected you to tell her about that kind of stuff.

"Nel we don't have to have sex for me to be happy with you. To be honest with you, though it was enjoyable it was just very surprising at the same time. We don't have to do this often or make it a common thing between us if you don't want to. Let's finish getting ready now Nel, we have to be ready for the mission."

It didn't take too long to finish getting ready after that. After getting out of the shower, we both got dressed and headed down the stairs. Now we just have to go to the meeting room and meet every one. "Are you ready to go Nel?" She gave me a quick nod and walked over to me, grabbing my hand and running out the door.

Let's try something new this time, before we started using sonido I picked her up bridle style. Looking down and giving her a quick kiss, "Hold on Nel I'm going to go pretty fast." I've never shown her how fast I really am when using sonido, because I never wanted to leave her behind. We were gone in a second and in front of the meeting room after a couple more. The look on Nel's face told me she was not expecting that and was a little shaken up by it.

"Uh Ichigo how did you go so fast, I couldn't even sense where we were." Maybe I over did it a bit.

"Sorry Nel, I didn't mean to stir you up or anything, just wanted to do something different." I let her down and held onto her shoulders because I didn't want her to stumble while trying to catch her bearing. Looks like Ulquiorra is almost here, I heard the buzz of sonido and looked to my left and found him standing there.

"Nice to see you Ulquiorra, how have you been lately?"

"Nice to see the two of you as well, I have been alright just waiting for this mission." Yeah I get that. Nel was starting to get herself back to normal when I sensed Harribel heading our way. She appeared right next to Ulquiorra in a buzz, she looked over at us and gave Nel a smile.

"So how was your night Nel, anything interesting happen?" Okay I get what she is doing, I wonder how Nel is going to deal with this one.

"No nothing really happened Ichigo and I just went for a nice walk early this morning." Harribel's smile grew even bigger at this.

"Really, is that is all that happened? What was up with the fluxes in your reishi's then?" What? I didn't notice our reishi fluctuating. I looked over to Nel and found a slight blush on her checks, I guess it did then. Harribel started chuckling at her reaction, "I didn't actually expect for you to go through with it Nel, I'm impressed." Oh someone please stop this conversation! I heard the doors open and my prayers were answered.

Gin was standing there with his big grin, "Oh do tell about what happened, I would love to hear about it." Okay I'm not doing this, I reached over and grabbed Nel's hand and went through the door. We reached the table and sat down, everyone else followed us and sat down in their normal spots.

"Do you guys not have other things to talk about besides our relationship?"

"Oh come on Ichigo it's just to fun to pester you two." Oh man Gin why do I even try.

"Thank all of you for being here so early, your mission is very important to me. If we can get more members for my army then it will surely benefit us. Anyone that you feel will benefit us then try and bring them in, if they deny you and becomes a threat then eliminate them. That's all you need to know, you may go now." I was actually expecting something more than that, I guess it's good there wasn't though this is going to be hard enough.

"Let's go guys, don't want to make this any longer than necessary." I got up and sonidod to the entrance of Hueco Mundo, it took a couple of seconds for anyone else to arrive.

"Ichigo we can't go as fast you, you know, Nel and Harribel might not be able to keep up as well." That is true man, I can't believe I didn't think of that.

"Okay we'll just go in short bursts until we get close then we can walk, does that sound good to you guys?" I got a nod from Ulquiorra and Harribel, Nel walked over and grabbed took my hand in hers.

"Only if we spend some of it together" I should have expected that, I'm glad though it will make this trip better.

"Of course Nel, let's get going." We started heading towards the Menos Forest in bursts of sonido, even with sonido this will be a fairly long tip. It was to, it took about two hours to finally get close to the forest canopy. It has been so long since I have been here, last time I was an adjuches too. This time won't be as bad though.

"Okay guys we can just walk from here, we should be close to the canopy." Ulquiorra and Harribel both stopped next to me.

"I didn't think we were that close yet, I guess I didn't factor in my new speed compared to the last time traveling that distance." That's Ulquiorra for you, always thinking about something most others won't.

"Yeah we should be close enough, let's just get going before it gets too late. We can make camp when we get there, we'll stay above ground though. I don't want us being down there when it's that dark out."

"Yeah that would probably be the best plan, down there in the dark we could be ambushed. While I doubt that anything major would happen it is better being safe than sorry." That's definitely true, that is the main reason I don't want to make camp down there.

We have been walking for a while now, just making small talk along the way. We ran into a couple of low level hollows but they ran away once we got into their vicinity. It's almost dark out so we going to set up camp here. "Let's set up camp up ahead, it looks like a good place."

Up ahead was a big boulder with a sand dune building up on one side, it would let us get out of the wind it least. That is better than sitting out in the open. Once we got there we fixed ourselves an area to sleep, really all we did was smooth out part of the sand. "Ichigo we are going to sleep next to each other right?"

"If you'd want to, that sounds great Nel, come over here and get settled down."

"You two aren't going to be doing anything tonight are you, there are other people here if you didn't notice."

"What!? No Harribel we are just going to sleep like we normally do, give us a break would you?" She smiled at us and gets ready to go to sleep. I took my swords out of my sash and leaned them up against the boulder as Nel did the same thing with her sword. I pulled off my cloak and laid that down next to my swords and lied down. Nel found her way to my side, quickly getting comfortable.

"Night Nel, hopefully we can actually get some sleep."

"Yeah that would be nice, goodnight Ichigo." I'm surprised I actually slipped into sleep really quick, and just like normal I didn't really dream much. I had another short nightmare about the upcoming war, I keep dreaming that Nel and everyone else ends up dying. I don't know why I can't stop thinking about it either.

Opening my eyes I could feel my back was killing me. I can't believe that one night on the ground was that bad. After stretching for a minute to loosen up my back I went to wake Nel up. "Nel come on it's time to get up, we have important stuff to do today." Her eyes started to open and she let out a big yawn.

"Really Ichigo, do we have to get up right now?"

"Yeah Nel we should get down to the forest and start looking." She sat up and let out another yawn and held her hand out, I grabbed it as I helped her get up.

"Now that you two are awake we should probably get moving." What? They are both already up.

"Yeah we will get going in a minute, when did you and Harribel got up though?"

"I have been up for a while and Harribel woke up after you two started to mutter things in your sleep. It almost seemed like you where talking with each other while you two just snuggling. All in all it was quite entertaining, I never would have thought I would see the Cero in that position." Damn Harribel is probably going to give us lots of crap about this.

"Okay let's just get going before we wait too long, come on guys." I grabbed my cloak and threw it on, pulling up the hood while doing so. Then I grabbed my swords and put them in my sash, I'm going to have to make an opening for us aren't I.

"I'm going to make and opening in the canopy everyone stand back a ways." I started to charge a small cero and let it blast through the tops of the trees. The ground collapsed in on itself, a huge cloud of sand blocked my view from the forest below. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yes Harribel and I are fine."

"Nel are you okay, where are you?" Nothing, did she fall down there. Damn I can sense her down there, how did she fall down there though? "Nel is down there and I'm going down, you guys wait until the dust clears." With that I left the two of them and jumped into the forest.

I dropped about one hundred feet, landing on the ground with a loud crash. Looking around I noticed that the forest is pretty thick down here. I can see that it clears out in the direction we were heading, Nel might have gone that way. "Nel can you hear me?" Damn still nothing, I can barely sense her now to.

Looking up I saw Ulquiorra and Harribel jumping down. "Ichigo have you found her yet?"

"No Harribel I don't know what happened to her, but I can sense her reishi from that direction. I'm going to get her, if you guys want to come with me that's fine."

"We will accompany you Ichigo, hopefully we will find her quickly." I do to Ulquiorra, I just can't believe I let this happen. Ichgio you can't blame yourself for this, she got sucked in with the sand and something made her go in that direction. That's what I'm worried about Miquel, I just don't want her to get hurt. I couldn't live with myself if she got really hurt because of something I did or didn't do.

"Let's go guys." I can't slow down for them, I need to get to her as fast as possible. "I'm going full speed, just keep heading in my direction." Before they could answer I was gone in a buzz of sonido, please be okay Nel.

Somewhere Deeper In the Forest (Nel's POV)

"What are you people doing, let me go." How did this even happen? I was with everyone when Ichigo shot his cero. The floor caved in and then I don't really remember, I just hope that Ichigo can find me soon. These arrancar that took me have been going as fast as they can in this direction, what do they want with me though.

Looking ahead I can see the forest clearing out, which must be where we are going. We busted through to the clearing and I finally got a good look at who had been taking me. The one holding me is a very tall man, with dark skin. His hollow mask is a shoulder plate on his right, it runs down to his mid arm and is covered in spikes. He is wearing a normal arrancar outfit but there is a black skull stiched on the back.

Next to him is a much smaller man, about my height. He has short black hair, and blue eyes. His mask circles his right eye and has a long spike running down his check. He is wearing the same outfit and with the same skull symbol. What is up with these guys? For the first time since they took me they started talking.

"Arsenius what did the boss want with this girl anyway." The smaller guy, well I guess Arsenius just looked down and shock his head.

"Didn't you hear Otieno, he wants as many female arrancar as he can get. She is only the second that we have been able to get our hands on, now let's just keep moving we need to get back." Why would they want female arrancar and who is this boss? We left in a buzz of sonido again, heading in the same direction we have been. I'm just glad I can still sense Ichigo.

After another ten minutes we stopped again, I can make out a building in the distance. It's about as big as our palace but it isn't made of the same material. It is a dark stone almost black, with light gray strips running through it like wood grain.

"We're finally returned Arsenius, I'm tired of running around like this."

"Just shut up Otieno, we need to report in, let's go." Getting closer to the building I noticed a couple of other men standing by the door with the same clothes on. "Otieno and Arsenius reporting back from our mission."

"Looks like it was a success as well, the boss will want to know about this, head straight into the throne room." Arsenius nodded and we walked through the door. The inside was very plain, no real decorations or anything special. At the end of the hallway was a big door, it went all the way to the ceiling. Once Arsenius opened the door my attitude changed.

Sitting on the top of the throne in the center of the room was the man they have been calling boss. He had long blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore the same outfit as everyone else but he also had an overcoat on. His mask fragment covered his left cheek and wrapped up around his eye.

"We have returned Kauko, we found this female arrancar in the forest about ten miles from here." Kauko got up and raised his hand, Otieno put me down right away and backed up. Kauko kept walking closer and closer until he was right in front of me. He reached up and touched my cheek, sending a shiver down my spine.

"It is a pleasure to have you here, will you please give me your name."

"Nel." He came closer and kissed my other check.

"It is nice of you to join us here, it gets rather lonely out here. Arsenius would you please take her and Aysu to my chambers I will be there shortly."

He gave him a quick bow, "Of course sir, please come with me Nel." He motioned for me to follow and started to walk out of the room.

"Don't worry Nel you are my guest here, I will see you shortly." Please hurry up Ichigo I don't like they way all this sounds. I caught up with Arsenius in the hallway, we kept walking and then he suddenly stopped.

"This is his chambers please go in and make yourself comfortable. He should be here shortly to indulge you and Aysu." Once he said that he was gone in a buzz of sonido, I guess I have to don't I? Opening the door I noticed the room looked a lot like mine, there was a younger girl sitting on the bed. She looked around fifteen, with long dark brown hair and golden brown eyes.

Her mask fragment looked like earrings, a big diamond shape on the lobe and a small ring on the top of the ear. A chain ran from the ring to the diamond piece. Each ear had one of these on them. She was wearing a pair of white pants and a white shirt. Her outfit was very basic but suited her nicely, she had a tan sash wrapped around her waist with a sword on her left hip.

It had a golden colored sheath and a diamond shaped guard. The handle was wrapped in a tan cloth that was the same color as her sash, the way it was wrapped left several small diamond shapes running down the length of it. (Think of Ichigo's old bankai sword handle just different colors) They were the golden color of the sheath, in all it looked really nice.

"Hello I'm Aysu, it is nice to meet you, what's your name"

"I'm Nel, it's nice to meet you Aysu. I'm wondering why are you here?"

"I was out in the desert and those two guys just appeared out of nowhere. It was a couple of days ago and I have been here since."

"I'm sorry to hear that Aysu, I was with some of my friends when we got separated. They should hopefully be here soon and then you can come with us if you want." I took a look at her and she got a big smile on her face.

"That would be nice Nel, I would love to meet your friends. It has been really lonely for me the last couple of months." I heard the door open and Kauko was standing there.

"It is nice to see the two of you, I'm glad that we can enjoy this time together. We can go ahead and get started." Wait he doesn't mean, no he can't do this. I don't want to do anything like this with anyone but Ichgio.

"No you can't make us do this, I won't do something like that with you."

"Oh don't tell me that you have a crush on someone else, or maybe you have a little boyfriend. Either way it doesn't matter because he isn't here, so I'm going to enjoy myself." He walked over to me and pulled me into a kiss. I tried to pull back but he held onto my too tightly. He let me go after a second and I looked away from him, how could he do this?

He pushed my down onto the bed and laid down on top of me, forcing me into another kiss. "You do taste so good Nel, I now understand why that man of yours loves you so much." No Ichigo isn't anything like that. "Please stop, I don't want this."

"I don't care what you want, this is about what I want. I want to enjoy myself and have some fun with the two of you."

"Ichigo please help me!" A second later it came, a huge amount of reishi. It seemed to coat the air, making it weigh down on you like crazy. It's Ichigo, thank you so much. Someone barged through the door, looking over it was Arsenius.

"Boss we have a prob..." That was all he got out before a cero blasted through the wall and disinitegrated him.

Kauko started yelling, "What the fuck is that." Then he ran out of the room in a fury.

"What is that Nel? Is it going to kill us?"

"No Aysu, that's Ichigo, he is here to take us back." She loosened up a little bit and let out her breath.

"That is good, we should go and see what is going on though." Yeah we should.

"Come on Aysu, stay close to me okay."

Outside Five Minutes Earlier (Ichigo's POV)

We finally made it, I can sense her perfectly now. She is in the back of the building with someone else, they don't seem to be hostile. "Okay guys, this is the place. Are you guys ready?"

"I'm ready to go Ichigo, just give us the word."

"I'm also ready Ichigo."

"Okay good Nel is in a room somewhere in the back of the building, she is with someone else. They aren't an enemy so don't attack them, everyone else is to be taken out." Wait someone else is with her. Ichigo Please Help Me! Who is that, Miquel that wasn't you was it. No that was not me Ichgio, I do have an idea of who it was though. You should be very aware of who it is, she is very close to you.

Nel, how could I hear her though? You two share many things now, just think about your inner world. You don't think that there would be other thing that you would share. So we can talk to each other through our minds or something? In a way yes, but you can't do it all the time. It seems that only when one of you are in serious trouble you can do it.

Okay well I have to do something, let's see how they handle some reishi. "I'm goanna release a lot of my reishi guys, I'm only going to do it for a few seconds though." With that I let out ninety percent of the reishi I have in my current form. That should hopefully show them what they are dealing with.

Damn it another guy is moving towards them, I guess I'll just give them a cero. I started charging up a cero on my left hand. It looks different now, it is still black but the outline of it is purple. Guess I should have figured that would happen, since it is an attack based on my reishi. I let it go after a couple of seconds and it tore through the building.

"Let's go guys, I'm getting Nel out of there."

"We are right behind you, don't worry." Running up to the rest of the building I could feel three reihsi signatures. One is Nel's, the next on is the one that was with her earlier. Then there is the one that must be the one the is holding her.

"NEL ARE YOU OKAY!?"

"You must be that man she was talking about earlier, don't worry she is fine right now. You just interrupted our little play time, but I will get back to that after I deal with you."

"You bastard, if you even touched her I will kill you!" She is okay it least, her reishi is calmer. "Why did you take her anyway?"

"It gets very lonely out here all by yourself. I have been craving to have a companion for a long time. Do you know how few arrancars exist? Did you know how rare female arrancars are? I finally found someone that suits my taste, but too bad you interrupted it. Your Nel is very gorgeous, she would have been very nice."

You fucking bastard! I'm going to tear him apart. I didn't even notice my reishi pouring out in large amounts. Ichigo you need to calm down, he didn't do anything to Nel! You made it in time! Just calm down and handle this the smart way. Not this time Miquel I'm going to destroy him.

"You better prepare yourself! I'm going to destroy you for what you have done to her!" I drew my blade and rushed at him, I didn't even notice Nel and the girl with her. They were standing there the entire time, but they never said anything.

Okay sorry about the cliff hanger ending but the chapter is over 7,000 words so yeah. Next chapter is going to be the fight of course but there will be a surprise as well. Aysu is also going to become a character in the story, not going to say what role she will play but I think some people already can guess. I brought in some short sexual content because I figured some of you guys would enjoy it. I didn't think that it was a good time to have an actual sex scene so I just went with this. Anyway thanks for reading and let me know what you think so far, also what you would like to see happen.

Next Chapter - Ichigo vs. Kauko, Dealing with instincts, and something I can't talk about yet.

I also wanted to talk about the new story idea I'm coming up with. I won't start it until I finish this story because I want to focus as much time as possible to this story. It is going to be a Bleach fic with Ichigo as the main character. It won't be an espada Ichigo story, his hollow side will play a part in the story though. I'm planning on it being an adventure fic with some romance. Probably similar to this stories romance, it will just take longer to actually get the couple together. I would say who the pairing will be, but I don't want to yet. Thanks for reading, I really great full for all of you who are reading.
