Ichigo was amazed at the training room underground, he had learned this was under Rukia's house.

His eyes wondered to said girl. She was the same as always , small and short, the stubborn bang in her face.

But she wasn't the same, she was a vampire, the beings he hated most in his life. Could he ever look past it?

The thought of his mother past through his mind, he knew she had a soft spot for them but was there more to it?

Had he been lied to all this time? He shook his head clearing his thoughts, he would find out soon enough.

"Ichigo" his dad called out to him, " Come here boy." he said in a serious tone. Ichigo knew this was going to be serious and in no joking matter, his dad never spoke that way.

He stood in front of his dad, holding his breath for the news he just knew wasn't going to be good.

His dad reached his arm out towards him, his hand reaching out and resting on his shoulder, " I'm sorry son." Isshin started out.

"The truth is, You are not just human. Your mother was half vampire and half human. But she wasn't an ordinary hybrid. She was from the royal clan of Ishida, which were one of the biggest pure blooded vampire clans. Her father fell in love with a human girl who also was a hybrid. So technically Masaki had more vampire blood than human blood.

"So then you.."

Isshin chuckled, "Yes I am also a vampire..but I was turned..by your mother. Your mother's clan was a powerful one who wielded many gifts. When Masaki decided to raise you kids in the human world, she casted a spell you could say."

"I can choose to be in vampire or human form as I wish."

Ichigo took in the information his old man was saying...

His beautiful mother was a vampire? Her radiant smile and warm hugs..they came from those monsters? They actually possessed such feelings and emotions? How could he doubt it now?

He scanned his goofy , obnoxious , annoying old man over. He was also a vampire? Someone like him?

" So now... what is going on with me then?" Ichigo asked.

Isshin sighed heavily, " Well Ichigo as you know, your mother was murdered by a vampire. I always had a suspicion of who did it but with no proof, the vampire society could not take actions. Her last wish was to protect you and by doing so, she suppressed your vampire side so you could live a peaceful life."

" Peaceful huh?" Ichigo scoffed, his heart felt shattered.. his beautiful mother used her last bit of strength to protect him..

" Respect your mother wishes boy, she always put her kids first, no matter what." Isshin gripped his son's shoulders a little tightly, " Now, vampires have mates. When one meets it's mate, their strength reaches true potential."

"And as you can probably guess now, Rukia is your mate." Hisana explained. " Your vampire side is fighting the spell. Your soul wants to connect and be complete."

Ichigo eyes searched for Rukia's but she hung her head ashamed of what was being said. An ache passed through him, she was hurting, she was also a victim of their cruel fate.

" But once the spell breaks, your powers will arise son. You are the last of the Ishida Clan. which means you posses Reishi , which means you can absorb and gain power just about with everything. " Isshin rubbed his beard in thought. " Thus making you a very powerful vampire son."

"And as I suspect, a certain someone figured it out and with Rukia being a full blooded vampire and your mate , you are indeed going to be a very powerful vampire Kurosaki-san" Urahara suddenly said appearing before them.

"Dare I say, maybe the next vampire King in the future." Yoruichi appearing beside Urahara as well.

Ichigo stared the couple before them , " what the hell! You guys are also vampires!?" he pointed a finger accusingly at them.

Yoruichi swatted his finger away, " Yeah yeah, get over it."

"But you knew-" Ichigo was starting to say before Urahara cut him off, " Yes Kurosaki-san I knew."

"But you let me.. you knew what I was-" Ichigo continued before, again, getting cut off by Urahara, " I know. In due time I was to intervene but all and all, everything is going to work out!" he chirpily declared.

" What the hell does that even mean!" Ichigo annoyingly yelled at him.

Before anyone could say anything else, a group of black clothed individuals flashed around them, masks covered their faces and all you could see were their eyes.

"Lady Yoruichi!" they called in union. " There's been an emergency! " a small petite person stepped out and bowed before the Lady, " there has been an assassination in the Kuchiki Towers this evening."

A...what?

Rukia quickly searched around for her brother, but he was gone. She caught Hisana's eyes but they held no emotion as to what she just heard.

Lady Yoruichi silently nodded and with a wave of her hand, dismissed them.

Silence fell over the room, Hisana being the first to speak,

" We are contacting the vampire society as we speak. Byakuya is on his way there. We must do what we can to protect Rukia and Ichigo."

Ichigo jerked his head towards her bewiled, Him?

"What do you mean Hisana?" Rukia asked first, " Why us?" Ichigo followed.

"Did you hear anything I just told you Boy! " Isshin planted a fist over his head, "It's time to wake up."

" I am awake you old goat!" Ichigo yelled. He was frustrated and just as confused as before, what the fuck was going on!?

Hisana sighed softly, her poor little sister.. to know how special a mating bond is and for them to rush it..it greatly disappointed her.

"You guys have to complete the mating bond." she gave Rukia a sad smile, " usually there's a ceremony to celebrate it but time is of the essences here."

" But why now? And does that assassination have to do anything with it?" Rukia impatiently asked, " Tell us the truth dammit!"

"Yes Rukia-chan." Urahara answered, " You see, there's a man out there who wants to overrule the vampire king. I'm afraid he has discovered the truth. Thus, you and Ichigo are in danger."

"You guys have to mate before you leave this mansion." Lady Yoruichi explained, " I will cast a spell and send you to a special chamber."

Ichigo heard everything, yet he was in disbelief, how had his life changed all so sudden within a matter of days. Had it been days? He wasn't even sure.

"Wait just a minute, how does this bond even work?" he asked.

Lady Yoruichi and Isshin smiled like mischievous cats, Urahara hid behind his fan and Hisana's cheeks went bright red.

"You're 17 sweetheart, do I really have to explain?" Lady Yoruichi chuckled, " I don't think you want that."

Ichigo could feel his face go hot as hell, what the hell did he even ask that for! He made the mistake of looking over at Rukia and could see her face glowing from embarrassment.

Suddenly Lady Yoruichi shot a long, white piece of cloth at them both, the cloth wrapping around them, Ichigo could feel his body go light as a feather. Rukia gasped from the sudden chakra she felt.

"Sentan Hakuja!" she yelled.

They could see bright white lights growing larger around them, Rukia looked at her sister, she could see the guilt in her eyes. Hisana smiled sadly and waved at her.

" Make me proud son!" Ichigo could hear his dad yell at him. He wanted nothing more than to disappear.

And just like that, they were gone.

Ichigo felt like he was in a dream, he felt very light.

He opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings, The room had candles lit up, the dark red curtains hung high on the windows. The bed he was laying in, was decorated with red silk bed sheets.

The walls of the room seemed stone like..like they were in a castle.

He suddenly felt movement and looked to his left and saw Rukia waking up as well.

"Where.."? Rukia looked around confused. "Where are we?"

"It doesn't matter now. " he said. " I can't believe those two..."

"Wait , how do you know them?" Rukia asked. A powerful vampire like Lady Yoruichi and that madman, Urahara, they were mates?

" Since childhood, they were like an uncle and aunt. Although, now I see why." Ichigo frowned. All this time, he was being lied too. By everyone.

He sat at the edge of the bed, his arms on his knees and head resting on his hands, "I.. I even went to him and told him about me wanting to be a hunter." He chuckled bitterly, what a joke.

" I'm sorry Ichigo.." Rukia whispered.

"Are you?" he turned to look at her, " I mean, I guess you didn't ask for this either."

"Do you think anyone would want this? to be this? " she pointed at herself. " I know I'm a monster."

He stood up quickly and reached, grabbing her suddenly and pulled her close to him. He placed his hands on her face and gently kissed her.

"Ichigo..I.." she whimpered. "I don't deserve you." she let the tears roll down.

Tears stained her face. He saw pain in her eyes. He gently wiped her face...and he softly pecked her lips again. He imagined a place where they could be together. A place where nothing nor no one existed but them.

"And for some reason, I don't believe that, Rukia." he grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, over his heart. "this beats for you..forever."

Rukia shook her head lightly, "How can you say that..after.."

"Stop." he said. "Forget about all that. Its you and me right now. Just Rukia and Ichigo."

Rukia felt her whole world stop and felt her heart melt. Just Rukia...just Rukia. JUST RUKIA.

She pulled him close and crushed her lips to his. She opened her mouth and their tongues battled for dominance. Her fangs stayed in place and for a split second she thought about "Why?" and she quickly forgot about it as Ichigo kissed the life out of her.

She always held back because of her instincts but in this moment of pure happiness, she let all worry go.

"Are you really okay with this Ichigo?" Rukia searched his eyes for her answer.

Ichigo closed his eyes and thought, what was he suppose to do now? His mother turned out to be a vampire, and she did get killed by one but it was to protect him. He had alot of questions left still.

" I don't know honestly." he whispered.

Rukia bit her lip and nodded. " I'm sorry. I really am."

"Shhh, he hushed her and kissed her lips again, "I hate that it had to be this way but this mating bond crap, we gotta do it?" his cheeks blushed from embarrassment.

Rukia also went bright red, " I...think so... but , but if it's with you then, I'm okay with it." she smiled softly at him.

Ichigo smiled softly back and really looked her over. Her hair was flowing effortlessly over her shoulders, her beautiful purple eyes were looking at him, love in her eyes.

Her cheeks tainted soft pink and her lushes lips slightly swollen from their previous kissing. He loved her. He knew that.

He carefully laid her down, him hovering over her. He knew he should be pissed, he knew he should be mad, that he should hate every bit of Rukia Kuchiki but that would be saying he also hated who his mom was and he could never do that.

Rukia placed her hands on Ichigo's cheeks and guided his lips to hers.

She sighed in content, feeling his warmth over her and hearing his heart beating, slowly increasing.

He slowly placed kisses on her neck and down to her chest. Rukia took a deep breath, never having gone that far with him. She nodded to him and he gently removed her top off.

She blushed all over, having to expose herself like this to him. He slowly placed his hand over her perfect sized mound and kneaded it softly.

Rukia gasped, the foreign feeling consuming her, she whimpered and mewled at the new sensation he was creating. She traced her finger light across his chest, spelling her name out.

He felt his skin burn with every touch she made. He looked deeply into her eyes and he kissed her again and again and again.

The candlelights flickered around the room.

Rukia felt light headed and she felt like a feather floating in the air. Ichigo continued to kiss her and then down he went to her navel. She shuddered at the feeling he created.

She tugged at his hair lightly, encouraging his lovely assault on her body.

He paused at the hem of her bottoms and looked up at her, asking for permission.

Her whole face reddened and she quickly nodded closing her eyes, giving him the yes.

Ichigo had no idea what he was doing but something deep in his soul just knew her body, her wants and desires.

Gently, he pulled her bottoms down and then she was bare for all him to see.

Rukia could feel him staring at her and she peeked at him with one eye and saw the look on his face.

"Beautiful" he mumbled softly.

She squirmed and shyly tried to cover herself before Ichigo stopped her. "You're perfect Rukia."

He dove in, kissing her again, making her forget all about her shyness. Ichigo removed his bottoms and slowly parted her legs apart, placing himself in the middle of them.

Rukia felt it and she suddenly began to feel nervous. "I won't hurt you." Ichigo whispered, placing his forehead onto hers, "I promise."

Ichigo felt a burst of warm air fill his lungs. What was this feeling? He suddenly felt like he needed to be buried deep inside Rukia.

She nodded and took a deep breath, she felt him put pressure on her and felt him grunt. Ichigo moved forward slowly, inching himself into her.

Rukia gasped and held tightly onto his arm, she squeezed her eyes shut releasing a bit of spiritual energy to help ease her pain.

Ichigo felt an odd sensation around him again, he continued to slowly push into her, He stopped when he felt his tip hit her barrier.

He looked down and into her eyes, she saw his amber eyes glister with the flickering flames around the room.

"I love you.." she whispered softly.

"I love you.."he whispered back, he captured her lips at the same time he pushed and broke her barrier.

"Ichigo!" she moaned painfully.

"Shh..Shh." he soothed her. He stopped and waited for her body to ease her pain.

He started to rock gently and they both moaned with pleasure. Suddenly it was like a movie playing out in front of them, they saw each other playing as little kids.

"Stupid berry head." Rukia stuck her tongue out at him.

" Come here !" he tried to tackle her down and Rukia shunop'd out of sight.

He could hear her giggles floating around him.

"Okaaa-sann! , he whined "Rukia is using shunpo, thats not fair!."

Young Ichigo then proceeded to let out his spiritual energy and he threw a kido ball at Rukia.

Rukia easily dodged it and taunted him, " Ha-Ha-Ha. Slow poke!"

Masaki and Rukia's mother stood by and watched their children play, "How crazy will they act when they figure out they are mates hmm?"

Rukia's mother giggled and nodded, " Very."

Rukia could feel her fangs spring out and like instinct, found Ichigo's vein and harshly bit into him. She felt the bliss of his warm, sweet blood in her mouth.

"Hmmm." she moaned seductively. " delicious "

Ichigo felt his body burn but he couldn't stop himself from his assault, and like his body knew what to do, he felt his canines sharpen and bit into Rukia's neck.

He tasted her sweet blood and moaned in ecstasy. He felt his body grow stronger, he could feel his blood pumping faster and faster.

Everything around them felt like pure bliss. It was like the world grew brighter. He could sense things he never felt before. Ichigo felt a powerful wave of nostalgia hit him.

His soul just knew this feeling.

Rukia moaned loudly, Her fangs tainted with her lover's blood. She licked her lips and panted like a dog in heat.

"more." She demanded.

Ichigo sat her up, his member still in her. Rukia wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her neck to the side.

"Drink" she whispered.

Ichigo without a second thought, bit into her again. Again and again he felt complete bliss drinking her sweet blood.

"Rukia" he grunted. He held onto her thighs tightly, thrusting harder into her as he drank.

"Ichigo!" She moaned. She felt her whole being on fire. She couldn't get enough. She dug her nails into his back. Submitting into the pure passion she felt.

He licked her wounds and continued to pleasure his lover until they both reached climax.

Rukia could hear the birds chirping away.

It was morning now.

Her body felt extremely heavy and tired.

She rolled onto her side and was immediately shoved against his body.

Ichigo smirked with his eyes closed.

He felt her move around and as soon as her scent filled his nostrils, he had to have her near.

" Morning midget." He whispered, planting kisses on her forehead.

Rukia felt her heart ache in happiness. She never thought they would be here. In bed. As mates. Ever.

He suddenly rolled her on top of him, she was straddling him now.

"Hmm, so early?" She teased as she rolled her hips slowly and seductively.

Mating was something wild. Ichigo could feel her desire burn around the room, as could she.

His eyes were burning with need, amber eye's smothered with desire. He watched as she teasingly licked her lips.

"Like what you see?" She purred.

And that did it. He grabbed her head and smashed his lips against hers.

They moaned and panted in want and need. Both desperately needing each other again.

Long time huh? -hides-

I promise I will update and wrap this up!

Xoxo.
