A groan escaped Ichigo's lips as he started to open his eyes. The wave of darkness that overcame him dissipated as he saw light. His back felt… heavy… if that's the right word for it. "Agh…!" The teenager scowled, as all sudden he felt a headache hitting him. "Grgh…!" He clenched his head, feeling as though Kenpachi bashed his skull in. "Fucking…!"
The pain started to subside after about another minute or so. After that, Ichigo started to lean forward, despite feeling a heavy weight telling him to go back to sleep. His back sure felt heavy. "That's gotta be one of the worst ways to ever wake up." Ichigo complained as he rubbed his head. "And I gotta be just about ready for the old man to—"
The orange haired lad widened his eyes. Memories of him using the Final Getsuga Tenshou and falling on the ground, writhing in agony came to his mind. "Wait a minute!" He exclaimed, now fully getting up. "What happened with Aizen?!" He used the Final Getsuga Tenshou, that much was clear. He couldn't remember what happened after that. Did it work? Did he beat Aizen? Or did he fail?
Anxiety came over, and adrenaline rushed through his body. Ignoring his body telling him to stay put, he started running. He opened the doors and started turning wherever felt closest. Come to think of it, where was he? This wasn't his house. Doesn't matter, he had to know what happened to Aizen. He ran through what he felt were hallways, ones who's patterns he was definitely unfamiliar with.
There were people there, ones he was also unfamiliar with. Ichigo could barely register the look of shocks in their faces as he hurried past them.
"Isn't that—"
"Wait, stop right there!"
"Hold on, sir—"
Their words meant nothing to him as he continued running. The place was huge. He continued to turn around, having no sense of direction where he should go. Again, where was he anyways? "Gah, where am I even?!" he yelled as he turned over to look at a busty maid. "Hey! Where the hell am I at anyways?!"
"Uh…" The maid in question stammered. "You're at the Shihouin household, sir… but why are you—"
"Shihouin?" Ichigo was confused. Shihouin was Yoruichi's last name, so what was he doing in a place like this? Wait, come to think of it. "Wait, so is Yoruichi here?"
"Lady Yoruichi is here, last I checked at least. Listen, if you want I can get—"
Ichigo ignored her as he focused his sensory skills to find Yoruichi's Spirit Energy. Come to think of it, it has been more difficult to focus on sensing others. There were some guards, telling him to cease, but he dashed past them without a care. 'For fuck's sake, why are there so many turns here?!' Ichigo thought.
It was then that guards pulled their own weapons, preventing him from going any further. "Cease this nonsense! Stop making so much noise when the Masters are busy!" one of the guards yelled.
"Alright, what's going on here?" Ichigo widened his eyes as he heard a familiar, feminine voice. He turned around to see Yoruichi standing from behind. He saw a semi surprised look on her face. "You're awake…?!"
"Please forgive us, ma'am." One of the other guards bowed his head to her presence. "I don't know what came over this man, we were simply trying to—"
"Don't worry about it. Just give word to father and mother that the Substitute is awake." Yoruichi said calmly. "And while you're at it, send word to the 13 Court Guard Squads that the Substitute Soul Reaper woke up from his coma."
"Of course ma'am!"
Wait… coma?!
"Besides…" Yoruichi glanced her golden eyes at him. "We have a lot to discuss as well."
"Is this always the first thing you do when you wake up?" Yoruichi asked in a tone mixed with half humor and half seriousness. She helped him settle down on his bed.
"Blame my father for waking me up in the most dumbest ways imaginable." Ichigo replied sarcastically without thinking. After that small fiasco he just made, he started to feel dizzy.
"Is that why you were running around making a mess?" Yoruichi asked as she folded her arms.
"Look, I just wanna know what happened to Aizen." Ichigo sighed as he scratched his long hair. "I don't remember anything that happened when I used the Final Getsuga Tenshou, except that I passed out. And also, just where are we anyways?" He asked, looking around the enormous room he was in. If he didn't know any better, he could say his whole house could fit in here.
"You did beat him. The attack you used was just enough to activate Kisuke's seal he implemented earlier. He won't be bothering anyone anymore, not for a long time." Yoruichi gave him a reassuring smile.
When she said that, memories resurfaced within Ichigo. He remembered Aizen having gone mad as he blabbered about something. Something about a king? And when remembering that, he remembered the overwhelming conflict and loneliness he felt within Aizen's sword. "I remember now…" He murmured. "But he's not really dead, is he?"
Yoruichi shook her head. "Afraid not." she confirmed. "Kisuke speculated that it likely wouldn't be possible to kill Aizen anymore. The seal he put was only temporary until the Research and Development squad came up with something to permanently seal Aizen. Right now he's been sentenced for 20,000 years in the deepest part of the underground prison where only the most dangerous criminals can go." she informed him. "As for your second question, we're in the Shihouin family compound… otherwise known as my birth place… where my parents live."
"Seriously?!" Ichigo was surprised to hear this. "What are we doing at your parent's house?" He couldn't help but be curious about what Yoruichi's parents were like. "Why am I not at my place?"
"Ichigo…" Yoruichi murmured softly. "You've been out for 10 days." He gave a look of surprise at this. 10 days?! What happened during that time?! "During that time, your Spirit Energy became extremely unstable. We didn't think it'd be good to place that state of your soul in your human body. There's no telling what could happen. We originally thought to put you under Captain Unohana's care so she can stabilize your Spirit Energy… except you weren't in immediate danger, and your body was more or less recovering on its own, but she told us to come to her when you recover enough on your own."
"So we got to your place instead?" Ichigo asked.
"Not yet. Rukia suggested putting you under her care in Byakuya's home, but he wasn't exactly the… biggest fan of letting a lowly human stay in his place unless it was a last resort."
"Why that… "Ichigo clenched his fists when learning of Byakuya's response. ''I save the whole wide world and I don't even get a thanks? Really?"
"And since you were already in the Soul Society, there's only one other place I could bring you in where you'd remain safe… as much as I didnt wanna go there… which was my birth home." Yoruichi sighed.
"So… my powers…" Ichigo wanted to know. He knew the cost of using the Final Getsuga, so were they gone? "Are they really…?"
"No, well not completely. But with each passing second you're losing them more and more. However… Kisuke explained that you'll be going under 2 phases that confirms your complete loss of power. When using the Final Getsuga, the user will undergo intense pain, lose consciousness, and the time lapse of everything you've learned will disappear as well." Yoruichi explained it to him.
Ichigo already understood most of these except the last part. ''What do you mean by that last part?"
"I'm saying that everything you've learned and experienced will disappear because of your loss of powers. Take a look at yourself. You no longer have that godlike power you had against Aizen. Both your hair and your height were supposed to be reduced to what it was before." Yoruichi pointed her index finger at him. Ichigo grasped the bangs, still the same as it was before during that grueling match with Zangetsu. Come to think of it, his Shihakusho was no longer in its damaged Bankai state. "Your hair didn't grow longer or shorter. Amazingly, it seems as though your body is fighting against these effects."
Ichigo continued to wait to see if Yoruichi had more to explain. "But that won't last forever. Sooner or later you'll gradually become weaker. At some point you won't be able to use Hollowfication anymore. When your Spirit Energy hits low, you won't be able to use Bankai anymore. You won't be able to use a Getsuga or any other technique, and at its worst, you won't be a Soul Reaper anymore. That's when Phase 2 hits. You'll lose consciousness again, and when your Spirit Energy stabilizes one last time, it'll be a total loss of power. You won't sense, hear, or even see Hollows anymore… not even a Plus."
The Substitute remained silent, letting all the information sink in. It was unfortunate, but he should have expected as much. "Well that sucks…" Ichigo murmured in disappointment before shrugging his shoulders. "Oh well. Should have figured as much."
"You seem… surprisingly calm on this." Yoruichi said, widening her eyes slightly. "I expected you'd be more upset."
"Zangetsu already told me what the cost would be when I used the Final Getsuga Tenshou. I knew what I was doing from the start, and was ready to pay the price. And even in this state, I'd do it all over again if I had to." Ichigo answered. "Though I gotta say… why do you sound so hesitant when talking about your family?"
"It's a long story, but basically I'm not fond of my parents. In fact I'm not fond of the entire clan… well most of them at least." Yoruichi rolled her eyes. "They badly wanted me to focus on being the next head of the clan, being a proper Noble, and yada yada… point is… you don't have to worry about that."
"Right… what about my friends? Are they alright?" Ichigo asked.
"They're fine. If you're worried about their injuries they got healed a while ago, so they're all good as new." Yoruichi said with a smile. "Right now they're currently staying at the 13th Squad Barracks. Though we didn't put you there since it can get a bit… chaotic…"
Ichigo sighed in relief. "And the Arrancars?"
"No clue." Yoruichi shrugged her shoulders. "They haven't bothered us, and they likely won't for a good while since you defeated Aizen. Although…" she made a frown, her eyes casting downwards.
"What's wrong?" Ichigo noticed the look she was giving. That didn't tell him anything good.
"In a place like Hueco Mundo that's like anarchy, a king is supposed to set his own set of 'rules' if he's deemed to be the most powerful to exist. Since you took out the king, you essentially created a power vacuum. Now things are becoming a little… hectic." Yoruichi bounced her head, swaying her hips to emphasize her point.
"What's going on there exactly?"
"A new ruler has been established, former Espada known as Tier Halibel." Yoruichi informed him. "Though it might take a bit to have the Hollows and Arrancars listen to her. Strong as she might be, it's hard for anybody to be Sosuke Aizen."
'Weird… I thought Ulquiorra would have been the one as a king. That personality of his seems to fit more in having people listen to him.' Ichigo thought. Then again, that wasn't really his business to step into. "Right… So what am I supposed to do now?"
"Shower, for one." Yoruichi raised her finger. Ichigo raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Don't gimme that look! You've been asleep for 10 days! And you spent nothing but fighting before!"
"Uh…" Ichigo blinked his eyes, letting the realization sink in. He moved his head to one of his armpits, sniffing it in the process. His head went numb, face turning green. "Ugh!" He reeled away in disgust.
"Told ya. Now get in one of our showers and clean up right away. You're not spreading your filth on my parent's mansion."
Her Captain had been at this for a long time after he had regained his senses, shutting himself off from the others in order to solely focus on honing his skills with his Bankai.
His lack of control and mastery over its power made him fragile and only served to stall an Espada before being cut down. And what did that bring the Gotei?
That Espada proceeded to stall Yamamoto for a small amount of time but enough so that he was unable to complete a technique he had in hopes of killing Aizen. In short, pun not intended, Toshiro Hitsugaya felt like this was solely the fault of his weakness.
As he created ice dragons and shot out icicles, Rangiku herself felt a heavy breath leave her lungs.
She heard of his death afterwards. Gin Ichimaru, traitor, had been killed by Aizen himself when Gin had betrayed him. Which meant Gin was a double traitor, was he a double agent, grew a consciousness or just plainly wanted to kill Aizen because he was actually a bastard?
She didn't know, no one would know it either. As the silver haired Captain died all alone, never confessing anything nor leaving anything else behind. He never left traces behind.
She always disliked that. But at the same time, Gin was basically her older brother, always taking care of her when she had to depend on him.
He probably knew that if he left something behind…She wouldn't be able to move on.
"Always so thoughtful even when he doesn't look like it." She smiled sadly as she couldn't help but feel the emotion build up. "Thanks, Gin…I always… …liked that about you." She muttered to herself as she looked up at her Captain.
The boy was already out of breath while she was just being dramatic. Renji and Shuhei had also immediately went somewhere to train nonstop, she heard from Yumichika that Ikkaku had gone along to help them hone their skills further.
Ikkaku did train Renji and Shuhei was also his senior, so perhaps both were trying to help Pineapple Man reach new heights?
Nodding to herself as she had finally settled on her decision. "Well, moping around won't serve any purpose." She walked into the ice rink Captain Hitsugaya created as she smiled confidently. "Captain! I hope you'd be fine if I decide to train with you as well!"
The sounds of ragged breathing rang in her ears. She felt an immense chill rolling down her spine when she stepped inside the cave that was somewhat covered in ice. Her Captain turned to look at her, his face being a mixture of frustration and exhaustion. "You want to train with me, Rangiku?" He asked, his face rolling in sweat.
"You bet!" Rangiku exclaimed, putting on a cherry grin as she held the handle of her sword. "How about it? It'll just be the two of us, and I promise I won't get in the way!"
Toshiro looked at her, as if contemplating whether to accept this or not. For a brief moment his eyes were cast downwards before looking at her again. "Sorry… but I can't have that." he told her in a semi neutral tone, holding a sense of edge. ''I suggest you train with someone else."
Rangiku wasn't going to have any of it. Not today. "Look, I understand you're frustrated, but y'know that tearing your body apart isn't exactly good for your health. " She teased at the last part.
"That's not the point." Her Captain spoke bluntly. ''I'm telling you it's not safe for you to train with me." Rangiku was stunned. "My Bankai… you of all people should know that out of every Captain in the history of Seireitei, it is the most incomplete, and the most immature. It's dangerous even for me to use." Captain Hitsugaya remarked, as his grip on the handle clenched tighter. "I couldn't beat an Espada... I didn't even come close to reaching Aizen. So I have to train my Bankai even more, and I won't stop until I perfect it. I can't promise you'll be safe if I let you train with me."
Rangiku was stunned at the thoughtfulness her Captain was showing. Studying her surroundings, she felt the coldness hitting her entire body. When she thought about it, with her Captain being the youngest in history, his Spiritual Pressure was unstable in a way. Maybe it would be better…
But even so, she couldn't help but feel a little hurt at being rejected. She could at least try to help controlling his Spiritual Pressure, but the Captain knew himself the best, so she supposed this would be better. "Well if you say so…" Rangiku sighed before she turned around to leave.
Men that always go above and beyond to prove themselves despite it causing ugly results… even when knowing what could happen to them… Rangiku never understood that, and chances were she never might. Well as the saying goes in the World of The Living, boys will be boys.
Orihime sighed as she stared at the sunny scene of the garden whilst in the 13th Squad Barracks. She and the others had moved here after Ichigo was put in Miss Yoruichi's home. It's been 10 days since Ichigo suddenly collapsed, and right now it wasn't known when he'd recover.
The rescued girl lumped her shoulders as she slid her arms, feeling a wave of guilt wash over her. If she hadn't accepted the decision of going to Hueco Mundo, maybe then Ichigo wouldn't have… no… thinking back on it, it was likely that Rukia would have been killed. So really… looking back… she really had no choice in the matter.
Still…
"What are you thinking about for you to be so lost in thought?" Orihime gasped as her thoughts became interrupted. She looked up to see Uryu standing next to her.
"Uryu!?"
"Mind if I sit?" Uryu asked in his ever present polite tone. Orihime nodded, and Uryu sat beside her. "I wanted to tell you that the Captain has gone off to a meeting with the Head Captain. Just thought you should know."
"Oh… well thank you." Orihime made a sheepish smile. "Is that all? Or did you come here because of Sentaro and Kentaro bothering you?"
"I… do not confirm nor deny this." Uryu pushed the tip of his glasses, confirming his reason. He was a bad liar. "But what about you? What exactly were you thinking about before I showed up?"
"Oh, uh…" Orihime giggled, rubbing the back of her head in a sheepish mamner. "I was just thinking of what to eat for this morning. And then in the afternoon. And then in—"
"With that glum face?" Uryu's words were like swords, piercing through her facade in an instant. Orihime smiled less. "You were thinking about Ichigo… weren't you?" Orihime stopped together and bowed her head, her lips curving to a frown. Uryu sighed. "I knew it. You don't need to worry about him so much. His condition isn't life threatening."
"I know… but…" Orihime showed a look of concern. "I can't help it… it's just…"
"What is it?"
"I…" Orihime sighed, trying to think of what to say. "I read up before about what happens to people when they're in a coma… and none of us know when Ichigo is going to wake up. It can take days, weeks, maybe even years…"
"Don't think like that. All you'll be doing with that is overload yourself, and you're the most optimistic person I know." Uryu pushed the tip of his glasses again. The girl wondered if that was some habit he liked doing… or he liked watching anime. Then again… "Well maybe a little too nice… but you don't need to worry that much. And who knows how long it'll take, but I have a feeling he'll wake up sooner than we think. If Ichigo could take down someone as powerful as Aizen, then no way is a simple coma going to keep him down. Though... I am intrigued to know how he did it."
"Yeah… I guess you're right. Maybe I am a bit worrisome." Orihime sheepishly smiled. Suddenly, she then thought back to when Yoruichi was taking Ichigo to the Shihouin mansion… and the look she gave when she held him in her arms. She was curious… if she didn't know any better… it looked as though as if…
Ichigo finished his shower as he turned off the water. It took him a dozen minutes to get dressed in his Shihakusho and dry his hair with a hair dryer. "Man, even the bathroom looks so nice…" Ichigo murmured as he observed the large surroundings. He couldn't describe it, but everything was so detailed and fancy, even the floors where he could perfectly see his own image. "Can't believe this is where Yoruichi used to live…" He murmured as he turned off the dryer. "Kukaku's place looked messier than this…"
A small part of him couldn't help but wonder what it'd be like to live in a place like this…
"Ichigo, you just about done there?!" The Substitute heard Yoruichi's voice call out behind the door.
"Yeah! Just got finished!" Ichigo exclamed. He walked over to the door and opened it. "Why do you ask?" He asked, swinging the door open to see the purple haired woman.
"You feeling hungry?"
Stomach growled.
"Em…" Ichigo felt his face flushing. With all the battles he's been through, he hasn't had any time to eat.
"That's fine. I was gonna tell you that food is just about ready for you. It's been months since you ate, so I imagine you must be starving." Yoruichi said, folding her arms. "Just come with me. It's past breakfast, but they've been waiting for you to recover for a bit so you can meet them."
"Meet who?" Ichigo asked.
Yoruichi paused for a moment before sighing. "My mother." she said, rolling her eyes. "
"Eh?!" Ichigo was shocked to hear this. This was completely new to him. "Your mom?!"
"And well, my brother, maybe."
"You have a brother?!"
"Why are you getting surprised?" Yoruichi gave a blunt look. "You beat Aizen but somehow meeting my mom and me having a brother shocks you to the core?" she shook her head. "I swear, your way of thinking is so strange sometimes."
"You never told us anything about your family before!" Ichigo gave an almost cartoonish look as he was so baffled by the concept of Yoruichi's family.
"Oh yeah... I never did." Yoruichi gave a mock surprise look. "It was never your business, so I didn't need to tell you anything."
"But it is my business now!"
"Come on already." Yoruichi grabbed him by the hand and used Flash Step to sprint to the house. "Food is just about ready."
"Wait, what about Zangetsu?!"
"Why would you pick your Zanpakuto?! Just get it afterwards! It's not going anywhere!"
Before Ichigo realized it, he got dragged what felt like miles, transitioning in mere seconds as he arrived in what was the biggest kitchen to ever exist. The height of it alone could fit his house 5 times, and the width could fit 2 or maybe 3 times his house. It had an upper layer with extremely detailed, nigh cleaning… well everything honestly, from a large, crimson red floor to a food table that would fit about dozens of people.
And the food… he didn't wanna insult Yuzu's cooking, he really didn't, but it looked so good. The smell alone could kill just about anyone to hurl at the food and eat everything there was. "Woah…" Ichigo couldn't help but marvel at the kitchen. Was he exaggerating? Maybe. He didn't know. But if anyone else were in here, they'd know exactly what he was talking about.
"You may take a seat, Ichigo Kurosaki." A soft, feminine voice reached the young man's ears. He turned around to see several people sitting down. He gulped when he saw the figures sitting down at the end of the table.
"Er… right." Ichigo nodded as he walked over to the humongous table. Were all these seats for the servants working here? Well that would make the most amount of sense, at least for him. He sat down close to the edge, right next to Yoruichi. In front of him sat a… young boy? Teenager? Looks like a midget. Must be the brother.
The woman was a different story. The woman wore a purple kimono that had the Shihoin Clan crest embroidered on the chest and back. At first glance she looked like a slightly older version of Yoruichi. The resemblance was uncanny between them. Time had taken its toll but yet it hadn't brought down her beauty. Though she was definitely aged given the lines on her face, she looked beautiful. Even her hair, its purple color having lost its luster and had lines of silver, seemed to flow beautifully behind her. Even in her autumn years the woman was an exemplar of beauty.
"So, uh, you're Yoruichi's mother I presume." Ichigo said, trying to be as polite as he could. He wasn't very familiar with Noble's traditions, but this was still a guest's house. So he oughta act polite at least. "Nice to meet you." He then looked at the brother. "And you're—"
"My name is Yushiro Shihouin!" The boy spoke with energy so eccentric, Ichigo nearly cringed as he reflexively thought he was dealing with Keigo. "I'm the 23rd head of the Shihouin clan! And you must be Ichigo Kurosaki! Sis really told us a lot about you! Pleased to meet you!"
"Uh… likewise." Ichigo just nodded as he accepted a handshake from the boy.
"Yushiro…" The mother sighed. "What did I tell you about keeping your impulses in check. You're the head now, so please start acting like one."
"Aw but I can't help it!" Yushiro whined. "This was a great week! Sis finally comes back after a whole century and we get to meet the super duper strong Substitute Soul Reaper who's her boyfriend!"
"Uh…" Ichigo blinked his eyes. "I think you got the last part wrong. I'm just her stude—"
"Wait, so you're not my daughter's boyfriend?" Miss Shihouin asked with a critical gaze.
"Huh?!" Ichigo was baffled. Where were they getting this idea? The concept made him blush. "Boyfriend?! Where did you get that idea?!"
"My daughter said it herself." Miss Shihouin gazed at Yoruichi, who simply held a mischievous grin. "Unless it turns out that was a lie…"
Ichigo was starting to sweat profoundly. "Yoruichi… what's going on here?" he asked the dark skinned woman right next to him. "What the hell is this boyfriend thing you're talking about?"
For a moment there was a pause. Yoruichi simply stared at him with a naughty look. It made him uncomfortable. Yoruichi unexpectedly hugged his arm as she leaned her body against his. "What does it look like? I'm just telling my family about my new boyfriend."
…
His heart started racing. Sweat profusely coming from his body. His mind started racing, as millions of questions popped into his mind.
"You weren't aware?" Miss Shihouin raised her eyebrows. "My, my, it would appear my daughter has taken quite an interest in you, Ichigo, but it seems she hasn't informed you at all about your current situation." She then looked at the werecat of a daughter. "Would you mind telling me how you're with someone when they don't even know they've been taken?"
"With all that's happened in the World of The Living, mother, I didn't think there was a good time for me to tell him how I felt." Yoruichi snuggled closer, bringing her head closer, gripping his arm that much more tightly. "But I don't deny my feelings for him."
The older Shihouin woman sighed as she took a bite out of her food. "Still making things complicated, even today…" she shook her head. "I won't question your decision, Yoruichi, if this young man satisfies your tastes, I won't complain. However, surely you know you can't just up and take him without his consent." she looked back at the flushing teenager. "How do you feel about my daughter, Ichigo?"
"I…" Ichigo was honestly stuck on what to say. Anxiety rose. He couldn't begin to hide the nervousness that was beginning to show up. Suddenly, fighting Aizen seemed a lot less scarier than it did. Maybe it'd be better if he stayed in his coma… "I, uh…"
"Do you have feelings for my daughter or not?" Miss Shihouin asked. "What is your relationship with my daughter as of now?"
"It's…" His stomach growled on the inside, making it clear that he was starving.
"Oh, I nearly forgot you haven't eaten anything. Go ahead, dig up and we'll talk afterwards." Miss Shihouin told him.
An empty stomach saved him. Who'd have thought. Without a second thought, he started eating like a mad man, albeit rudely, but so would most people if they were in his position.
Before Ichigo realized it, half a day had gone by. The Seiretei had already received the information about his awakening, and during this time his friends had come by to visit him. It was nice to talk with them again, and he was especially glad with Orihime, knowing she was safe for good this time.
Still, everything was happening so fast. Time must be accelerating, because it usually doesn't go this quickly. His friends left relatively quickly so they could go back to Jushiro's squad, as they wanted to check up on him. Needless to say, Uryu's reaction to his loss of powers left him… bewildered.
Makes sense. When Uryu lost his powers, the man wanted to do everything he could to help them, sometimes a little too much during the Bount fiasco. Ichigo already accepted the cost the moment he used his Final Getsuga. So maybe it didn't bother him as much? Besides, he'd still get to have his powers anyways before they're gone.
Ichigo went to his room… well… the room he was taken care of, that is, as he released a breath of fresh air. He saw his Zanpakuto (In its Shikai State), which rested near the bed he was on, sheathed bandages and everything. Ichigo smiled, seeing that his Zanpakuto was still with him. He walked to pick his massive sword, but when grabbing the hilt, he immediately felt something wrong as he widened his eyes.
It's as though the presence behind the sword felt… empty. A husk. It was similar to when he first got to the Soul Society before learning more about Zangetsu. 'I don't sense Zangetsu's presence anymore…' He thought to himself. Refusing to believe his spirit was gone, he focused harder to find his Zanpakuto. And after about a minute, he widened his eyes as he sensed something. 'No… it's still there, but there's barely anything left. But what about the Hollow?'
Earlier, Yoruichi told him that everything he's learned will be gone. If the Hollow was gone then he wouldn't be able to access his Mask anymore. With Zangetsu he wasn't sure if he could even use Bankai in his current state. Well not that he might need it, but still…
"I figured I'd find you here."
"Gyah!" Ichigo nearly jumped back from as he turned around to face Yoruichi's mother, who stood close to where he was. ''Give a warning next time!"
"You should have been able to sense me coming…" Miss Shihouin spoke with a blunt look. "Is that your Zanpakuto?"
"Yeah. I just came here to get it. It felt weird going without Zangetsu for a while." Ichigo answered, holding on to his handle.
"Why… exactly is it shaped like that?" Miss Shihouin asked with a critical gaze. "Is that its Shikai release?"
"Yeah, but it's always like that."
"What… do you mean?"
"I don't remember, but…" Ichigo recalled the words Yoruichi told him before his Bankai training. "Yoruichi told me something that my Zanpakuto is in a permanent Released State or something. She said that I said have so much Spirit Energy but I can't control it… and well... I sort of got the hang of it, but in my current state it's hard for me to control just about anything honestly." He chuckled as he explained.
"So you can't seal it at all…" Miss Shihouin didn't seem to be impressed with the explanation. "You're like the Captain of 11th Squad then… my daughter sure has strange taste in men…"
"Meh. Even if I could control it, I'd prefer staying in Shikai. It's more convenient for me to fight like that, besides I'd stayed in that state for a while so I kinda got used to it." Ichigo shrugged his shoulders.
"I see you weren't told anything about how to behave with Nobles as well." Miss Shihouin then sounded… disappointed? He wasn't sure how to say it. But she was less impressed than before. "Come to think, I did hear from the Kuchiki family that you were plenty disrespectful to Byakuya Kuchiki."
'Not this again.' Ichigo rolled his eyes over this. "Look, given our history I don't think I'm ever gonna call that guy by his full name. I get he's an important noble person and whatever, but I just treat him like how I see the rest of my friends."
"I…" Miss Shihouin seemed stumped by his response. He wondered why. "I don't mean to sound offensive… but is everyone from the World of The Living this… rude?"
"Look, enough about me. I don't like having attention. What exactly did you wanna talk to me about? Or did you just wanna chit chat with me?" Ichigo asked.
"Chit… chat?" Miss Shihouin blinked her eyes, as she seemed confused by the term. "Is that something that's said in the World of The Living?" she shook her head. "Nevermind that. I came here to talk to you about my daughter."
"What about it?"
"How do you feel about her? Don't think I'll forget what happened just because you ate food like a barbarian." Miss Shihouin got to the point. "You spent 20 bowls, ate about ⅓ of the meat my servants prepared, and if that weren't enough you even had seconds after all that."
"Oh… uh… sorry about the food. I was really hungry." Ichigo bashfully rubbed his head, feeling embarrassed at how he ate like a pig.
"The food doesn't matter. What I care about is my daughter. You and her. Do you have feelings for her or not?"
"I…" Now Ichigo felt stuck. He honestly wasn't sure how to answer. When he thought about her, he couldn't help but think of the other girls he's… been with to an extent. If he got with Yoruichi then this would get complicated. What could he even tell her about that?
Though come to think of it… "I'm not sure how to explain it, but lately I sort of feel…" He felt attracted to other women, whether his age or older than that. He didn't know why. Previously he felt shy, timid and even bashful when he so much as even thought of… dirtier parts of them. But now he felt… attracted, even if just by looks. That included Yoruichi. "I do think I feel attracted…"
"I see. Now is it because of her looks or is it deeper?" Miss Shihouin asked, as she seemed patient to hear from him.
That's where Ichigo felt hesitant. He honestly wasn't sure if he had those types of feelings for her. He himself wasn't sure if he was ready to be in a relationship with her. He hasn't gotten that much time to spend with her… unless maybe there was something he was missing?
"I'm not… really…"
"So… is that a no then?" Miss Shihouin asked, disappointment hinting her tone. "Listen to me, Ichigo, I can't have something unsure. All I need is a simple yes or no. Do you feel anything for my daughter or not?"
"I don't mean to put pressure on you, Ichigo Kurosaki, but I don't want any complications. A process with Nobles isn't a simple matter, I don't want anything to be half and half." Miss Shihoin made a sigh. "Look… how about you talk with my daughter and then we'll get to the matter at hand."
"I guess that might work for the best." Ichigo rubbed the back of his head. "Where is she right now?"
"In one of our private hotsprings, she's by herself. It's a floor below here, go to a small hallway and in there you'll find one of our hotsprings, and you should be able to find where she is." Miss Shihoin said.
"Alright, thanks. I'll go there right now." Ichigo said, putting his Zanpakuto on the floor before he walked to exit his room.
"You're going in there right now?" Miss Shihoin asked with a tint of confusion laced in her voice. "I suggest you do think about this Ichigo. If you do choose to go with my daughter, then one day you may as well marry into the clan, even though she's been in exile, the position still stands for her to be a clan head. However, since you're only a Substitute, that makes things a bit complicated."
"Wait, marriage?!" Ichigo was baffled by this. "Hold on a second! We're not even dating yet!"
"I wasn't finished…" Miss Shihoin spoke with a tone of annoyance at having been cut off. "Because you're only a Substitute and not a full fledged Soul Reaper, it's therefore impossible to have you be married into the clan when you're settling matters in the Living World. That's also if my princess decides to be a clan head again. But in case neither of those happen, then you won't have to marry into the clan. But even then…"
"Then what?"
"Don't take any offense to this… but I don't really see what my princess sees in someone like you." Miss Shihouin put it bluntly. Ichigo couldn't help but look grumpy at this. "As I said, we are grateful for you having defeated Aizen. I'm not sure how, but we're grateful, but the laws must be obeyed, and therefore you're only a Substitute that cannot marry. The only reason you'd be allowed to become her lover is because of your achievement. You can't even seal your Zanpakuto because of your lack of control. You're quite rude as well."
"Any more you wanna say?" Ichigo reflexively spoke up in a sarcastic manner.
"Of course." Miss Shihouin also replied sarcastically. "Don't think I also forgot about your little invasion to the Seireitei when you and your friends charged in as Ryoka to save Rukia Kuchiki."
"Oh…" Ichigo felt somewhat embarrassed by this. "That…"
"You also picked a fight with the head of the Kuchiki clan. Multiple times might I add, and insult not only him, but the laws of what the Nobles hold sacred."
Ichigo stayed quiet. In the past, he would have gotten into a heated argument without a second thought. He still felt irritated, but he tried to keep himself composed. "Let me tell you a little something… the only reason I did what I did is because it's my fault Rukia was stuck in that position. What was I supposed to do? Send a request to talk about this peacefully? Fighting was the only option I had. There's no way I can stand by while someone gets executed because I wasn't strong enough to help, and because of some death sentence when there wasn't any other choice to help me save my life. As weak as I was, I did something that nobody stronger than me did a damn thing to do anything about it. I did something like that again. And I'll do that as many times as I can."
Miss Shihoin widened her eyes a bit. For a moment she stayed silent. Ichigo wondered what was up before she spoke up. "I see… going up against the 13 Court Guard Squads is suicidal. If it does help, even we were a little suspicious of Rukia Kuchiki's severe execution. But… it doesn't seem you understand the severity of what you and your friends did. You have to understand that if we were to go against the Soul Society's laws just because we felt personal, we'd lose everything we held over the eons. For you, Ichigo, it's lucky you that it turned out it was Sosuke Aizen plotting everything behind the schemes."
"Why is that?"
"Because if he and the other traitors weren't behind this, then it's very certain you and your friends would have been sentenced for execution."
Ichigo widened his eyes because of this. "They'd what?!"
"You really shouldn't be so surprised. The… political side of the Four Great Noble Families is far more complicated than you can imagine. To put it short, we have a large, important history with the million year history of the Soul Society, so much so that if anything were to go against it, we'd lose everything. But besides that, you have Central 46 to worry about. They'd do anything what they deem fit to protect the Soul Society. Even so much as insulting a Noble, a death sentence wouldn't be surprising."
Ichigo couldn't help but feel disturbed. What she was describing went beyond protection. This went to the extreme. This was anything but protection. The thought of what could have happened if he and his friends had been captured after his battle with Byakuya… or sometime before that disturbed him. Anxiety rose up from within.
"Not to mention that you're inexperienced, a bit naive, and rather careless from everything I've heard about you. So I'm not really sure how to feel about my daughter choosing you as her lover." Miss Shihouin continued to speak before smiling. "Although... I have a feeling everything might turn out fine. So go ahead, talk with my daughter while you can."
"Right…" Ichigo nodded his head, still processing from what he was told. "Don't need to tell me that."
Ichigo managed to find his way to where Yoruichi's mother told him to go. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't just wait until she got out, as Miss Shihoin told him she takes a particularly long while till she got out of the baths, and not being one to wait long, and eventually finding nothing to do, he went to the hot springs.
Though he made sure to speak to the woman while he didn't have to look at her… too much at least. He only hoped that she didn't have to tease him. When he entered the spring bath, Ichigo immediately felt incredible warmness washing over his body. Using his sensory skills to find Yoruichi, the Substitute went ahead to find her in the private hotspring. And it was private indeed, there was literally nobody in here, and frankly he preferred it that way for now.
"Yoruichi… you in there somewhere?" Ichigo put his hand next to his mouth as he called out her name. He really needed to talk to her. "Look, I gotta talk with you real quick. This is kinda important."
No response. Was she taking a nap or was she not responding on purpose? Seriously, this was an important talk, and yet here she was, not saying a word. "Yoruichi? Are you there?"
Still no response.
Ichigo was growing more irritated. He started walking faster. "Hey! You asleep or something?"
"You needed me?"
"Arh!" Ichigo spun around, practically jumping off from where he stood. "What are you doing sneaking up—" his words felt silent as he saw Yoruichi standing in front of him, her body completely bare and wet from the water, once again the rare sight of her with her hair down was presented. "Agh!" Ichigo spun around again, covering his eyes. "Why are you out naked?!"
"I was taking a spring bath, you dimwit." Yoruichi responded in a mocking tone. "And I thought for sure you'd like seeing me naked."
"That's not the point!" Ichigo felt his face heating, and something else entirely. "I just wanted to talk!"
"Really? About what?"
"I…" Ichigo looked down. He felt something beginning to throb in his pants, but he tried to ignore it. "I just wanted to talk…" Anxiety began to rose up, along with a bunch of conflicted feelings. "About this… about us, me being your boyfriend thing."
"Ohhh…" She still sounded teasing. "Could you be a little more specific?"
"Oh come on! You know what I mean! I want to know what's your reason for calling me a boyfriend!" Ichigo rebuked.
"Silly, it's because you invoked feelings within me." Yoruichi spoke in a singing tone, and it sounded kinda cute on her.
"Well, uh…" The sight of her beautiful, nude form still came in his mind, and was finding it hard to ignore it. "Yeah… that's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about." He spoke in a soft tone. "Why exactly do you have a thing for me?"
"Hmmm… you want a long answer…" He felt his body shudder as he felt Yoruichi's hands on his shoulders. "Or a short one?"
"Uh… long answer I guess? I don't think I'm going anywhere…"
"Then let's take a bath together."
"Huh?!" Ichigo was perplexed as he felt Yoruichi's hands leave him, and her footsteps started going at front. "Why a bath?!"
"Duh, I'm naked. I'm not gonna talk like this with you, that'll just be awkward." Yoruichi spoke bluntly. "Besides, we took a bath before back in your training. So this shouldn't be new."
"When you were a cat!"
"Was it…?" Yoruichi sounded puzzled. "I could have sworn I was in my birthday suit when that happened… oh well… get in and we'll talk… in private."
The sounds of her footsteps echoed in his ears. "Alright... I'll be there I guess." In order to get this over with, Ichigo nervously took off his Shihakusho and put it in the place where his clothes were stored.
Before he knew it, he was already butt naked, and the man traveled to his destination. He turned around a corner, and saw a decently sized pool, and in there stood Yoruichi, even as most of the water enveloped her body, she still looked gorgeous with her arms spread on the surface.
"Come on in." Yoruichi said, her tone welcoming. "I promise I won't make fun of you."
He was confused, until seeing his member throbbing. It wasn't fully erect, but it was easily noticeable. "Nnh…" He grunted, braced himself for impact as he quickly dashed towards the water as fast as he could. "There."
He saw a look of surprise filter her face. "That… wow…" She genuinely looked stunned. "That looked really big."
"Can we not mention that?" Ichigo spoke in embarrassment at Yoruichi seeing his thing.
"Oh come on, what do you have to be embarrassed about?" Yoruichi said bluntly. "I've already seen men naked before, and a beautiful woman may as well be welcoming to a man like you. Unless… you're not by any chance a virgin?"
"Look, can we just…" Ichigo made a sigh to himself as he tried to calm down. He shouldn't be this nervous about this. It's not as though seeing a naked woman was something intimidating when he's gone much farther than that. "Look… sorry about that. Let's just talk. Why did you call me your boyfriend in front of your mom? And why did you mean when I invoked feelings in you?"
"What can I say, a woman such as myself got swooped by someone as powerful as you." Yoruichi smirked, still keeping her sly smirk. "It's simple."
"When did it begin?" Ichigo asked in a simple tone, suddenly finding new courage in himself. "Your thing with me… it can't really be because I'm strong, can it?"
Yoruichi looked up, pausing for a moment. "Well... I suppose it began during your time with your vigilante stuff." She hummed to herself, and Ichigo couldn't help but take a moment to stare. "I still remember when you practically crawled to me for help. I won't lie, that was a very weak start from you."
"We're off to a great start." Ichigo sarcastically replied.
"But…" Yoruichi hummed to herself. "You started to… what's the word… get better." Ichigo waited to see what she meant. "You started improving on your own, and became more competent without much of my help… well besides tearing your clothes apart."
"I was doing what I could…" Ichigo grumbled under his breath. "But what does that have to do with—"
"Because you started acting less like a kid and became more of a man." Yoruichi told him. "Your resolve to protect others is what caught my attention… Similar to always but at the same time so different from before." Ichigo formed a quizzical expression. "I already noticed it back when you were training to achieve your Bankai. You're still a crazy, reckless guy… but whenever you set something in mind, it's like you're a different person entirely. You don't really give up at whatever is coming to you, you keep moving forward that would break most men I've seen… well except some, but you get what I mean."
"So why me then?" Ichigo felt… intrigued? The thought of an older woman noticing him like this is something most boys his age would jump at the opportunity and say yes. "Why not go with the other guys you know about? I can already bet they're older and more experienced than I am. "
"Maybe it's because your behavior is one of maturity… but also not." Yoruichi answered vaguely. She looked back at the strawberry teen with that same, sly grin. And looking at the woman, the young man couldn't help but feel his member throbbing more. "I feel as though having a relationship with you… would be interesting. You are younger… but not too young… and I feel as though older partners should help guide their lover… that's what I want to do at least. Unless you think lil ol me will take advantage of you instead."
"I don't think you're that type at all…" Ichigo answered simply. "If you could already do that, you'd already have done stuff back in my Bankai training."
Yoruichi sighed in relief. "Well that's a relief that you trust me. So… does this make it official now?"
"Well… that's what I wanted to talk about." Ichigo gulped, preparing himself for the inevitable. "It's about my own feelings…"
"Oh, this I gotta hear." Yoruichi suddenly started swimming towards him without the use of her hands, which made Ichigo's heart skip faster at the sight of her flesh. "So… what do you see in me? Any deep, harvesting emotions you crave or is it just my dashing, pristine looks?"
"Well… you are really good looking… beautiful even."
"Aw~" Yoruichi smacked her lips, clicking her tongue. "Go on…"
"And…" Ichigo felt hesitant, remembering his… intimacy with the other girls. "I'm honestly not sure if I'm cut out to be in a relationship with you."
Yoruichi's lips curved to that of confusion. "Why is that?" She asked. "You don't feel anything for me?"
"It's…" Ichigo felt nervous. Again, fighting Aizen seemed to be a better option to go through then this. He sighed. "I've already been with other girls… sort of."
"Hm?" Yoruichi seemed confused. "What do you mean? Do you already have a girlfriend?"
"I… no… well…" Ichigo honestly wasn't sure how to say this without telling the truth. "I don't know… the truth of the matter is… I've been… intimate with other girls… but I'm not exactly in a relationship with them… I think."
For a moment Yoruichi didn't seem so shocked. She seemed interested. "Intimate with who? In what regard?" Yet she asked in a… demanding tone? He didn't know how to say it, but there was firmness.
"There were these two girls…" Ichigo started, and he sank further as Yoruichi got closer. "One of them is from my class… you don't exactly know her, but she's somewhat involved in my vigilante stuff. Her dad died in a crossfire when I was fighting the Green Goblin… and I confronted her, since I know what it's like to lose someone close to you like that." Ichigo frowned at the thought of that memory. "But… something went… weird. I felt… attracted… I wanted her, and I didn't even know her that well and yet-"
Yoruichi chimed in at that as she hummed. "And yet it just clicked for you two?"
"Sort of?" He wasn't fully sure yet at the same time it felt like it was the only way to describe it. Him and Gwen just…Did it, an odd compulsion to say the minimum of it. They were two amateurs going at it like animals if anything; almost like nothing else mattered at the moment, probably because they desperately needed an escape from the situation they were in. "I don't know how else to say it. And the second one she…Well she's incredible."
"In bed or her for herself?"
The thoughts of laying with the Black Cat made the red on Ichigo much more apparent but in truth… "I haven't had sex with her, only Gwen and well…Nel"
Yoruichi was puzzled at the mention. "Nel?" Was there a third girl, why not mention her before?
Noticing her confusion the substitute quickly composed himself. "Oh right, she's an Arrancar that helped me, Uryu and Chad rescue Orihime."
"And you two fucked?" Yoruichi actually raised a eyebrow at that. "She sounds like someone you only knew the name of and barely much more."
Remembering the situation they were in Ichigo just laid back as he thought of how to explain it. "It was…More so necessity than anything really. She said she could help me get back to full strength since I had just wasted some energy fighting a Privaron, it was through a-"
"Tantric ritual…" Yoruichi finished. "Don't look surprised, I know of the practice. You two must have been really low on options but at least it's a method that does work wonders when done right." She then smirked as she laid a hand on her breast. "I'm guessing that since those were your experiences regarding it…A lustful outburst between two hurt teens and a desperate measure only for pragmatism…" She slowly reached out to his hand as he attempted to not stare too much. "Ichigo…It's fine, you can look." Her tone was now warm and welcoming as she took his hand.
"I…" He couldn't help but finally relent, looking at the dark skinned beauty he actually saw a different smile on her face. It wasn't the confident smirk she wore in battle nor the snarky grin she used when playing around, it was a honest and gleeful smile that she had. Looking at her naked now didn't even feel wrong anymore either, like she wasn't trying to trick him or anything but honestly inviting him. "I still don't know what am I even supposed to do."
"You're my boyfriend now, it's only fair for you to learn about what it's like to have intimacy through an honest desire." She led his hand to her bountiful bosom as he instinctually gave it a squeeze. "How does it feel?" She asked in a soft tone, as she guided his hand to grasp the soft feeling of her flesh.
And oh boy did it feel good…
"It's good…" Ichigo murmured, now this being the third time he's ever felt a woman's breast.
"Say it louder." Yoruichi spoke in a firmer tone. "Say it like a man. You may be young but you have more than enough maturity to be bolder. Say it like how a man takes his woman."
"It feels really good…" Ichigo answered a bit louder. "They're soft… and so…" He couldn't describe the feeling well, as he now circled his hand all over the dark skinned woman's bountiful breast. "I can… go deeper… right?"
"You're naive…" Yoruichi gave him an earnest smile. "I told you it's natural to know what intimacy is like through honest desire. But I guess that's what makes this relationship unique. I'll guide you to be a better man… but do you wanna know what my honest desire is, Ichigo?" She began to approach closer, her wet face drawing closer to his.
"Uh…" Ichigo felt his groin stiffen. He couldn't hide his erection anymore. It was poking through the water now, and could easily be seen. "No, what is it?" Ichigo murmured in nervousness, marveling the beautiful woman who had fallen for him.
"Make love to you… and go all the way until the sun sets." Yoruichi spoke so softly that it touched Ichigo's heart. "And you can bet other girls want you too… and think of this… as a reward… for defeating Aizen when no-one else could." She bent forward and kissed him fully on the lips.
Ichigo felt bewildered, but nonetheless the instincts within him acted on their own and kissed her back. "Mmmhm!" The two lovers passionately made out, Ichigo being on the offense as he wrapped his arms around Yoruichi's back, her soft breasts barring against his muscular chest.
"Easy…" Yoruichi backed away from the kiss, their lips connecting with a string of saliva. "You're way too rough. You could have bit my tongue."
"Sorry…"
"That's fine. It's what experience is for. But now… let's get to other matters… if you agree of course." Yoruichi remarked as her tits bounced. "Are you fine doing this? You want oral? Or do you wanna go all the way?"
It took Ichigo a second to realize she was asking for his consent. "I... Yeah I'd go all the way." His excitement got the better of him.
"Your father is fine with this, so don't worry about it." In Japan, in order to give consent you have to ask both sides of the parents to agree to have sex when you reach that certain age.
"And did you think of asking me this before?"
It was Yoruichi's mother. Her voice made Ichigo nearly jump back as he completely missed her presence. There she was, standing literally behind them with a stern expression, seemingly not caring at all that they were naked.
"Wait, I—" Before Ichigo could explain, Yoruichi already beat him to it.
"Oh please, you already know I'm old enough to make my decisions. Besides, I technically don't belong here anymore." Yoruichi made a teasing grin, not at all bothered by her mother catching them. "And talking to you about this would have made things complicated."
"Always disobedient, right till the end." Miss Shihouin rolled her eyes as she pinched her nose in annoyance. Ichigo felt anxious. "I still don't know about this boy being your lover."
"He beat Aizen, isn't that already enough?" Yoruichi replied with a snark.
"But to have sex… here of all places?" Miss Shihouin pinched her nose. "Why must you be so frustrating…"
Ichigo was honestly lost as to what to say. "So are you gonna stop us?" Yoruichi asked.
"No, I'm just annoyed you didn't talk to me about this part specifically." Miss Shihouin remarked. "Are you so against becoming the Clan Head that you didn't ask me to give consent to your love making?"
"Well do you?"
"If you want it so bad… then yes we'll just have to do this in an old Shihouin clan fashion." Miss Shihouin said with a sigh. "Are you contempt with that?"
Yoruichi seemed a little surprised. ''Wait… you're really going with that?"
"Your partner is too green… if that's the right way of saying it." Miss Shihouin said. "And frankly I don't know what kind of experience you had with men, I find that a little hard to believe considering the amount of times you rejected the men we set up for you."
"I had a 100 years, give or take. You really think I'm not up to the task of pleasing my man?" Yoruichu snuggled close to her boyfriend. "And besides, none of those fit even close to my standards when I was younger."
"Fine… if that's the way you want it… then he'll have to prove it the old fashioned way." It was then the older woman did the last thing Ichigo expected her to do. She began to take off her clothes.
"Wait, what are you doing?!" Ichigo felt his face heating up anymore as he saw the elder woman taking her clothes, full intent of becoming nude.
"You're not aware of this, Ichigo, but we Nobles have… different customs of proving customs of approving a Noble clansman to be a lover than that of the Living World." Yoruichi smirked, not at all bothered by the sight of her mother undressing herself, revealing her gorgeous body. "And in this case, the mother has to join with her daughter and her lover to teach them how to properly please one another, making the couple that much closer together." Miss Shihouin then began to enter the hot, steamy water.
Ichigo felt frozen. He couldn't take his eyes off the mother at all as she entered the spring bath. "This… really has to be done?" He stammered, as the sight of gorgeous naked women standing next to him was something he could never take his eyes off.
"Afraid there's no other choice. If you want my approval, then this has to be done in such a manner. I have to trust my daughter's decision." Miss Shihouin said, all while Ichigo studied her body. Her figure looked to be an older Yoruichi, only with a bigger bust. "But remember, this is purely for practice. So don't get any weird ideas about this. Now then, Yoruichi, would you be kind enough to demonstrate your skills to your boyfriend?"
"Very well then…" Yoruichi giggled. "Let's have some fun…" She began to speak in a husky tone.
Lust took over. The younger Shihouin backed away as the water rippled around her, focusing only on her beautiful body. She sank lower, her head staring hungrily at his meaty rod. "Such a large tool… especially for your age. I suppose you must have inherited good genes." Ichigo hitched his breath as he felt her face brushing against the surface layer of his rod. "Where was this thing back when you were training for Bankai."
She began to stroke his massive, 10 inch cock, with her hand, giving a look of desire. She wanted him. "I wouldn't have minded giving you some, even back then, y'know." She spoke in a husky tone. "At least not all the way, just so you didn't die without knowing the experience of being with a woman…" Ichigo was left gasping, his dick feeling sensitive. Very sensitive.
Was he already reaching his limit? But that can't be. He wasn't like this with Gwen nor Nelliel, was her hand just that good? "Such a big, strong, manly dick. It makes me want it all in me." Yoruichi licked the tip. "Would you like that, Ichigo? Would you want an older woman to be taken by a big, strong man such as yourself? Making me just—"
"Y-Yoruichi…" Ichigo was trying his best to hold it in. But he just couldn't. If he was gonna end it like this, at least let it be somewhere else. "Use your mouth!"
Yoruichi smirked. "Now that's more like it." She gave a predatory grin, doing as she was told. She opened her mouth, obeying his order as she put her mouth in his tool.
The feeling was like heaven. There was no other way to describe it. He didn't want to compare, but it was miles better than either of the girls he was with. It was like a warm, open cavern that sucked him off like a slut that she was. Yeah, that's fucking right. She pulled in and out. In and out.
Oh no.
"Yoruichi—" Ichigo tried to warn her. "I'm gonna — ahhhhh!" He yelled across the spring bath as gallons worth of semen exploded from the tip of his penis like a volcano. Right now all Ichigo could feel was pure euphoria, and nothing else mattered. "Oh fuck! I'm cumming!"
"Guurgh…" Yoruichi seemed surprised as trickles of white ooze were gushing out of her mouth, her eyes widening in doing so. Ichigo grit his teeth, writhing his body forward at the inconceivable pleasure he felt. The Shihouin bitch seemed to take whatever she could before pulling out, coughing up some semen as more kept coming out.
"Ahhhh…" Ichigo felt his body and mind twitch simultaneously. "This… holy…" No words could be described. "Haaaaa…" He kept shooting over and over for long periods of time before it finally settled down. Ichigo's cock and balls felt so stimulated that he couldn't begin to explain.
"I can't believe you actually had this much in you… and that you were so sensitive as well…" Yoruichi sounded surprised, as Ichigo took a breath to regain his composure. "Though I suppose it's because you've been pent up for so long…"
The young lad was shocked to see how much semen he had produced. It nearly made a quarter of the puddle filled with white. "Oh man…" Ichigo scratched his head. "I didn't know that I…"
"It'll be cleaned up… but I'm impressed you can still keep at it." Yoruichi teases as she takes a state at his penis, which feels as hard as before. "Unless of course that's all the juice you had."
"No… it's just…" Ichigo took a moment to calm himself down. "I never released that much… and I…"
"Did you ejaculate prematurely?" Miss Shihouin asked in a blunt tone with a surprised look on her face. Whether it was out of shock for the volume of his semen or his premature ejaculation was beyond him.
"No, I…" Ichigo tried to think of something to save himself the embarrassment but Yoruichi beat him to it.
"Cut him some slack, mother. He hasn't had any relief for months, and being in a coma on top of that, it should be no wonder he'd cum so easily." Yoruichi said with a giggle. ''And look, he's still as hard as before." she pointed to his cock, still as heavy as a rock.
"Hmmm... I suppose you're right. I'm surprised. Many others would have been left tired after releasing that much semen. Do you feel tired, Ichigo?" Miss Shihouin asked.
"Well… not really.. I think." Ichigo felt his dick as stiff as before, now beginning to calm down so that it felt less sensitive. That rush was indescribable. "I can still keep going…"
"Well my daughter had her turn, so let me have mine. I'll show her a way of pleasing a man." Miss Shihouin said, moving her glorious body within the water, and surprisingly Yoruichi listened. "Though I'm not too fond of her hearing such a dirty mouth."
"I'm just making him feel confident, plus it's not so bad once you get into it." Yoruichi giggled, listening to her mother as she backed away from her boyfriend, letting her mother take over.
Ichigo couldn't believe this. Any man would die to be in the position where he was in right now. A gorgeous, older woman announcing her love for him and consenting for sex, and now her beautiful mother was joining as well that might turn into a threesome? Truly he was a lucky man.
"Are you ready, Ichigo?" Miss Shihouin asked as she sat down, his eyes only glued to her enormous rack. "And you better pay attention as well, Yoruichi."
"Duly noted." Yoruichi sarcastically replied.
Miss Shihouin got between Ichigo's legs. Cupping her large tits, Miss Shihouin wedged Ichigo's thick cock between them. "Ohhh fuuuuuck…" Ichigo moaned as the elder woman gave him the best paizuri imaginable. "It's so good…"
"Of course it does… though I'm glad to know I can still please a man." she purred seductively, a devious smile on her face as she slid her tits up and down, surrounding Ichigo's manhood in a fleshy vice. "Do you like breasts like these…?"
Ichigo's cock throbbed in Miss Shihouin's fleshy vice, now completely at her mercy. He dug his nails on the wooden cabin beneath the water, the feeling of being given a paizuri heavenly. The teenager's breath hitched when she started to lick the sensitive tip. "Oh yes!" he groaned, her hot tongue feeling sublime. Sweat rolled down his chest as the heat in his manhood increased, threatening to melt in Miss Shihouin's tittyfuck.
The elder clan head could see that Ichigo was close and smiled. Her breasts were something no man could endure for long, even after centuries. "Go ahead, Ichigo. Cum for me," she purred, licking the pre-cum from Ichigo's weeping tip. "I know you're sensitive, and it's a rare opportunity to see a Noble covered in a man's semen." she teased, squeezing her breasts tighter around Ichigo's cock.
The throbbing man meat pulsed in Miss Shihouin's tits, Ichigo's balls tightening up. Squeezing his eyes shut, Ichigo threw his head back and groaned as he climaxed all over the older Shihouin's huge breasts. "Can't take it anymore! I'm cumming!"
Tilting her head back, the purple haired woman smiled as Ichigo's cock erupted with white hot cum. The hot cum-bath made Ichigo feel like he was sent to another world. He felt like he was going to spontaneously combust, her hands smearing the sticky substance all over her breasts like sunscreen. "Wow!" she breathed, amazed at how much Ichigo let out. "You sure were pent up. My daughter wasn't exaggerating at all that you're sensitive right now.
Ichigo couldn't give an answer with how heavy he breathed. "Still hasn't gone down…" Miss Shihouin murmured. "Where do you get all that stamina?"
"So, let's get to the main part already." Yoruichi said. "We've done enough playing around."
Miss Shihouin sighed. ''Well I can't object. If you know how to do something like that, then I won't stop you."
As Ichigo began to regain his senses, he saw his older girlfriend climbing on top of him, with a predatory smirk on her face. "Wait… what's—"
"We're about to get to the really fun stuff, Ichigo." Yoruichi said with a tint of arousal and excitement. As she said this, Ichigo was shocked to see the tip of his dick meshing with Yoruichi's cunt. "You ready?"
Ichigo didn't answer, rather nodding his head at the response. "Get ready… for the best experience in your life." Yoruichi moaned as she lowered herself down onto Ichigo's cock.
"Ohhhh!" The Substitute gasped when the werecat started to move, her pussy moving around his cock, stirring up the hot cum inside her. "Yoruichi! You…feel amazing!" he gasped, his hands instinctively going to her hips.
"Oh yes!" Yoruichi's ass jiggled as she rode the boy like a cowgirl. She put her hands on the boy's knees to steady herself while she slid up and down his shaft. She grabbed her boyfriend's and guided them to her breasts, letting him cup her soft globes again. "Your cock feels so good inside me!"
Yoruichi turned her head and Ichigo met her with a passionate kiss. The Substitute Soul Reaper began to feel his mind melt as his tongue melded with hers. He'd never felt so good before. Until now he'd no idea that a woman could feel so sublime. He didn't care if anybody caught them like this. It'd have been worth it in the end.
Soon the water began to shift, as Yoruichi's womanly juices dripped onto the dick. White spunk began to leak out of her from Ichigo's cock, the feeling oddly satisfying to the boy. The werecat arched her back when Ichigo, out of nowhere, pinched her nipples. Yoruichi's face began to show a smile as the pleasure in her loins overwhelmed her. Her moans became even louder when she felt the 10 inch tip touch her cervix, her toes curling in response. "Fuck! Yes! Oh!" she moaned with each slide down Ichigo.
She leaned back into his muscular chest and panted like a bitch in heat, feeling the cauldron of pleasure inside him. 'Fuck! So fucking good!' he lewdly thought. 'No way! Am I gonna cum again soon?!'
Miss Shihouin stayed and watch, and for a moment Ichigo glanced over, seeing her making odd breaths, and noticed her fingers were going somewhere forbidden in her own area. Was she enjoying this? Was she masturbating to her own daughter fucking her boyfriend?
Ichigo couldn't think, panting as he squeezed Yoruichi's breasts, unable to get enough of the woman's tempting body. He pulled her against him and began to meet her bouncing with his own long thrusts, earning louder cries from the werecat. It was fortunate that this was soundproof, otherwise the whole mansion would hear the sex.
The pleasure started to feel so good to both that they each felt their climax. "Don't stop!" she cried out, squeezing her eyes shut as she threw her head back. "Fuck! I'm gonna cum!"
"Me too!" Ichigo grunted, holding the larger woman tightly against him. His balls tightened for a third time and he knew this was the end. "I'm gonna cum too!"
Unlike before, it was Yoruichi who came first. The woman smiled lewdly as she came, her moan echoing throughout the room. "OHHHHHH! I'M CUMMING!" She shouted. Her pussy gushed around the cock, plugging her insides, staining the water. She turned her head and kissed him once again, swallowing his moan when he came inside her again. Heat burned inside her womb, feeling his entire body melt as the man emptied his balls inside her. "Mmmmmh!"
A good, solid minute had run by before Ichigo felt his dick finally stop sending a wave of cum one after the other. The two lovers separated in order to catch their breath, letting the cloud nine die down. "That was incredible…" Ichigo panted with a happy grin on his face.
"It was… but now we have to do this again. Except this time, you're doing my mother."
"Huh…?"
"We're not close to being done, dear." Yoruichi mockingly said. "This was just the beginning. We won't stop until we're all satisfied." As she said this, Yoruichi pulled away, travels of his cum leaking from her pussy. The mother began to approach him, her curvature figure only had one thing left for Ichigo to say.
"Oh boy…"
They went at it like rabbits. All three of them. Skin slapping skin was all what could be heard in the hotspring, and no servant dared to approach that area. During this time, many positions for sex were taken that Ichigo lost count of what they did.
Missionary, doggy style, 69, cowgirl, you name it, they did it. Many hours had gone by, yet the threeway never stopped, no breaks were taken at all. And all Ichigo could feel was pleasure and nothing else, feeling as though his brain had turned to mush from all the experience.
Miss Shihohin had left hours ago, as she could no longer keep up with the stamina that he and Yoruichi had. She was left sore to say the least. And wouldn't recover for a while.
"Ahhhhh!" Ichigo groaned as he came yet again, sending sparks of his juices inside Yoruichi's overflowing womb that he's been in so many times now.
"I'm cumming!" Yoruichi shouted, her pussy juices mixing with Ichigo's manly semen.
The two lovebirds stayed together, hugging their heated bodies as their lovemaking finally came to an end. Ichigo never felt so tired, not even in all his battles, yet felt so satisfied as he felt his penis beginning to go soft.
"Are you finally done?" Yoruichi asked, rubbing Ichigo's wet hair as she sat on top of her boyfriend.
"Yeah... I don't think I can go another round anymore." Ichigo answered with a chuckle.
"That's a relief. I think I've just about hit my limit as well." Yoruichi replied. "My body's starting to feel sore."
Ichigo began to think. "Say… how long have we went at this?" He was curious. They were in this room for a long time. To say they've been here for hours would be an understatement
"Oh, the sun is coming up again, so I'd say it's been about 26 hours."
"WHAT?!" Ichigo refused to believe this. There's no way the threeway happened for that long.
"Why so surprised? Your soul body can dish out whatever your human body can and more." Yoruichi spoke bluntly, as though stating an obvious.
"I know, but, 26 hours?" Ichigo was left bewildered. "I didn't think that was possible…"
"Well, it happened." Yoruichi giggled. "So then…"
"Yeah?"
"How do you feel about me now?"
"Honestly…" Ichigo honestly smiled. "I'd gladly have you as my girlfriend. You're smart, strong, encouraging, serious, funny… dunno what else to say but... I want you Yoruichi Shihouin."
He earned a deep kiss from the older woman. "You don't know how good that makes me feel." Yoruichi kissed him again. "But why the hesitance?"
"It's… I dunno… the other girls I've been with… and then—"
"Don't worry about it." Yoruichi smiled. "While you were pounding my mother, I got an idea to fix this whole mess you bought for yourself."
"What's that?"
"A polyamorous relationship." Yoruichi answered with an earnest smile.
…
"Wait… you mean…"
"Yep… you don't get to have just me, but other girls whom you're interested in as well, and vice versa."
"But how can that—" Ichigo knew a relationship like that would be complicated. And it'd likely fail as well. What she suggested was a harem. And he heard of news that didn't end so well. Most of the time at least.
"Let me do the talking with the girls and see where it goes. Besides, better to do this than getting stuck in a one note relationship you'll make things complicated."
Ichigo thought about this. Maybe she was right. He didn't wanna break Gwen's heart. And he certainly didn't want to go through cheating if his damn hormones don't calm down like they are now.
"But remember, this is only a possibility. Besides, better make all the girls happy than let them down, right?" Yoruichi's tone became more serious.
"I suppose you're right…"
"Good." Yoruichi kissed him again. "I'll handle the girl talk. Meanwhile you head to Captain Unohana when you feel better. With how long we've been going like rabbits, I think your Spirit Energy should be stabilized by now."
"Oh, now that you mention it…" Ichigo checked his spiritual energy. It felt far more stable than it did yesterday.
Yoruichi used her Flash Step to get out of the bath. "Oh and by the way... I say you look better with that long hair. It suits you rather well."
"Oh… well thanks." Ichigo noted the compliment as he grasped his extended hair. He felt Yoruichi disappear as she used her Flash Step.
Defeating Aizen, saving the universe, and having a threesome with both a mother and daughter, and potentially gaining a harem…
Yep, things were starting to look up for him.
Hey everybody, sorry this took so long, but I hope the wait was worth it. A lemon chapter with Yoruichi and her mother. I originally intended to put Halibel in this, but considering the situation at hand, that wouldn't have mixed very well. The idea from Yoruichi's mother came from Whackybiscuit, where he did a one shot Ichigo x Yoruichi's mother, which he gave me permission to use her character in the story.
Now if the Yoruichi thing feels so sudden and feels there wasn't a proper build up, that's because Chapters 10 to 25 fucked everything up. Because I wasn't sure where I was leading the story and how everything started to change over the years. I am working on multiple projects at the same time, making new stories I haven't published yet, that and I've been having serious problems to deal with. So I'll try my best to make this seem as reasonable for Ichigo x Yoruichi pairing as possible when rewriting the chapters, which is why Orihime and Rangiku haven't been mentioned to have sex like in the original version, which will be rewritten. So it's a little convoluted.
Now that that's over, the next chapters will either focus a little more on lemons in the Soul Society for Ichigo, because this will be a harem story from now on, so I'm giving a warning from here on out. Ichigo will be paired with women his age and older, though with Yoruichi I'm making her in her early 20's so I don't make readers uncomfortable because of legal age, age of consent, and stuff like that. That or we go back to the Living World stuff where we wrap up loose ends for Spider-Man stuff and head for Fullbring arc next.
So with that said, we shall meet again in the future.
