Well now. I think after a hot and steamy chapter like that we all need a minute to simmer down. This chapter is gonna be a little bit more focused on training Ichigo to master both his natural abilities and the abilities of the soul king. So yes he's gonna be in a world of hurt.
As always read and review. Also no I don't own bleach.
"Speaking"
'thoughts'
"Special abilities/ zanpakutō speaking"
The next morning Ichigo woke up to the sight and smell of the ever lovely Yachiru Unohana. He smiled as he took in her sleeping form. Though he did feel a little strained for air as she was quite a bit stronger than Tatsuki and seemed to have an iron clad grip on him. He then wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead.
As Yachiru stirred she sat up and stretched. Her shihaksoū top sliding down her right shoulder revealing the red lace bra she was wearing. Ichigo blushed at how transparent it was. It was then that white spoke up "She puts most Victoria's Secret models to shame!". Ichigo mentally groaned at his perverted spirits comment ''Really the first thing you notice?'
"Yeah and what of it?"
'how about the fact that her groggy morning smile makes her look even more beautiful regardless of what she's wearing?'
"Hmmm. Click. Picture saved." White commented.
Of course he'd save this mental image for later. As Yachiru was about to lay back down and cuddle Kirio knocked on the door before entering with a mountain of a mountain of food. "No time to be lazy today my dear. You have lots of training ahead of you!". Ichigo gave her a confused look at the comment and said "what kind of training?". Kirio chuckled and explained. "You must master all of your abilities. Your shinigami, hollow and soul king powers. Unfortunately we need Bambi or Candy-chan for your Quincy powers. But that doesn't matter right now. Hurry and eat it's going to be a long day!". Oh how right she was. Everyone knew how little control Ichigo had over his reiryoku and reiatsu.
After eating and putting his top on and giving his two wives a kiss on the cheek each he made his way out of the palace to a massive arena-like structure. His two blades strapped to his back and right hip. Ichibe stood in the center with Rukia talking as Ichigo entered. "Ah there's our beloved king now!" He said jovially. Rukia gave Ichigo a cocky smile as she greeted him. "Oi. What's up Ichigo?". Ichigo smiled "what are you doing here?".
"I'm here to teach you kido. If anything would help you control your ridiculous reiatsu and reiryoku it would be kido. Kyriyaku soū taicho is also here to teach you how to fight with two swords given he's currently the only other person with a dual zanpakutō.". Ichigo chuckled in response as he crossed his arms. "Makes sense to me." He said as he looked around to see some of his other shinigami friends. Renji, Ikkaku, Rangiku, Yoruichi, Kisuke, and Kenpachi all sat in the stands with his two wives. "Let me guess. They tagged along to watch me mess up and have something blow up in my face." He said as he could very well tell that's what they were here for. Though he didn't see Kyriyaku soū taicho anywhere. "I thought you said that the Soū taicho was here as well.". Rukia laughed at his confusion.
"He had to use the restroom and tell Ise Fuko taicho what he was doing. That way he doesn't get beat for leaving all of the work on her like usual." Rukia explained. Ichigo nodded in understanding and asked what was first on the docket for training. Rukia decided to skip most of the low level kido spells as they were mostly binding and barrier spells which she figured Hachi and Tessai would be better for training him with. The first spell she decided to teach him was Soūkatsui.
After demonstrating the spell and what it was for it was Ichigo's turn and as expected it blew up in his face spectacularly. Renji burst out laughing the first few times as he remembered his training and how difficult it was. His teacher later explained that those with higher levels of power have far more difficult times learning and mastering even basic kido spells as they naturally put in more energy than is actually needed.
Ichigo was getting frustrated after the spell blew up for the thirty-seventh time in two hours. He began to feel like he'd never get the hang of this kido stuff. That's when Shunsui decided to give him a break from kido and focus on some zanjitsu. As Ichigo drew two Zangetsu Shunsui sighed and rolled his neck. "Since you're Zanpakutō is a constant release type I'll release me shikai just to be fair." He explained as his two blades transformed into the large blackened blades of Katen Kyokotsū. Ichibe then gave them the signal to start and the two combatants were off in a blur of shunpo. Rukia who'd gotten up in the stands could barely follow their movements. 'Soū taicho really is no slouch in a fight!" She thought in mild wonder as she watched the fight.
"Do not just think of them independently Kurosaki-sama. Each blade is an extension of your arm and will." Shunsui explained as he effortlessly, well as far as he'd show, blocked some of Ichigo's usual haphazard thrusts and swings. "Be mindful of the difference in their size. If you do not believe you can reach with the shorter of the two then you defend with it. You do not want to overextend yourself for an attack." He added as he demonstrated with his own as he slipped past Ichigo's guard and struck him. He was amazed for a moment as Ichigo's skin wasn't even scratched and sparks flew from the point of contact. 'Right. I forgot just how ridiculously strong Ichigo was to begin with.' he thought as he quickly had to jump out of the way of Ichigo's larger sword coming down at him.
Kisuke was half watching the fight and half watching Yoruichi and Ichigo's wives. 'poor kitty cat she wanted to join the berry boy's harem, but got cold feet. Maybe it's not too late to get her to open her mouth.' he thought as he turned his attention to the fight as Ichigo made a slash across Shunsui's arm. "Looks like I got one Kyriyaku soū taicho-san." He said proudly as the Soū taicho looked at his right arm. "Seems like it, Kurosaki-sama." Shunsui retorted. As they resumed their sword clash Shunsui used the rounded indentation of his blade to catch Ichigo's kyber knife blade and deflect it as he went in for a thrust at Ichigo's midsection which Ichigo jumped back from. "Why did you back away Kurosaki-sama?" Shunsui asked. Ichigo looked at him dumbfounded as if the reason was obvious. "You were gonna gut me like a fish!" He shouted to which Shunsui chuckled.
"Kurosaki-sama should remember that the higher of two reiatsu will push the weaker one weaker." Ichibe commented which Kenpachi laughed at. "You'd think he'd remember that lesson from when he first battled me for the first time. Guess becoming the soul king makes ya forget things.". In truth it was lesson one needed to be retaught as time went on to avoid complacency. Returning their attention to the battle they watched as the master swordsman that was Shunsui pretty much gave Ichigo a one sided ass beating. Yachiru licked her lips at the sheen of sweat building on her husband's torso and back. Ichigo had long since dropped his top along with Shunsui due to the heat building around them under the hot sun.
Tenjiro was busy making sure Rukia hadn't lost too much blood from the nose bleed she'd gotten when the two men took their shirts off. He hated having to deal with the Kuchiki fuko-taicho's perverse thoughts. A few hours later Shunsui and Ichigo had stopped their training when Ichigo was pulled into his inner world by white.
"Oi kingy! You're supposed to be training to master all of your abilities not just how to swing a sword." He said as he stood lazily with his color reversed versions of Ichigo's zanpakutō. Old man Zangetsu/ Ywach stood to the side feeling that this wasn't his place to do anything as Ichigo wasn't training to utilize his latent quincy abilities. 'I know, but I was actually having fun fighting for once.' Ichigo retorted. White snickered at this. He knew Ichigo hadn't enjoyed his many fights as they'd been fought out of sheer necessity unlike the sparring matches he'd had with Tatsuki so many years ago. Yes white was there he always had been. So white understood Ichigo's mindset. 'don't fight unless absolutely necessary.'.
"That said kingy you still have a lot to learn if you wanna master your hollow powers. And before you say something stupid. No you haven't mastered them. You can't control your full hollowific." White explained. On an instinctual level Ichigo knew it was true. He'd barely tapped into his hollow powers shortly before fighting Aizen and then after having his powers restored he never got to use them as Ywach had made his move and Ichigo had to get a properly forged zanpakutō. Even then white only taught him the horn of salvation technique as a minor substitute for actually learning how to control the nature of a hollow.
Ichigo got in a ready stance a cocky smile plastered on his face. In the real world most everyone became worried as Ichigo had suddenly gone unconscious. Oh-etsu knew what was happening and explained "he's been dragged into his inner world by his zanpakutō. They're gonna teach him some tricks. Before y'all ask. I know because I'm the one who forges every zanpakutō. I know what jinzen looks like. This is a forced version. His hollow is probably gonna make him learn to control its powers. So I'd say we should be ready for a real fight soon.". Almost as if on cue the air around Ichigo's body became incredibly dense as a small crater formed around him.
Yachiru and Kirio looked on with mixed trepidation and curiosity as to what would happen. Shunsui stood ready for anything. He'd, like everyone, heard the stories of how violent his hollow was when it was in control. Yoruichi and kisuke who were given the low down on his visored training watched carefully partially out of skepticism. Rukia was still unconscious due to blood loss. Renji became worried. Kenpachi just had an even bigger grin if it were possible.
Back in Ichigo's inner world white had been giving Ichigo the crash course in controlling hollow powers. Delivering deep cuts on Ichigo's body via well timed slashes and balla. Ichigo barely could keep up. It wasn't long however until Ichigo actually thought to use his mask and that's when it all began to click into place. He first figured out the basics of sonido. Then he figured out how the pesquisa worked. Ironically the one time outside of this he'd ever actually tried to sense the reiatsu around him was in his fight against Aizen to make sure his imouto's were safe. He'd never had to use it given most of his opponents only he could sense anyway. Soon his inner world training came to an end.
In the real world Ichigo stood up slowly and worked his neck. "Sorry about that Kiriyaku Soū taicho. My zanpakutō needed to remind me of a few things." He said as he rubbed the back of his head. Shunsui chuckled and sheathed his blades. "I believe that's enough for today." He said lazily. In truth he was frightened at the prospect of fighting a hollowfied Ichigo. Especially since a base soul king Ichigo was more than a match for him in raw power alone.
The next day of training went much the same as the first. Wake up, have kido blow up, clash blades with Shunsui. Fire off cero's and balla's. However Ichigo was caught off guard when he heard Tatsuki shout at him for sparring with someone else. That's when he noticed that she and the rest of his wives had returned. He gave them a genuine smile. Bambi and Candice scoffed at his lazy greeting. Mila Rose and Tier seemed impassive until he busted out sonido against Shunsui. "Wait he can use sonido!?" Mila cried out as she grabbed the railing. Looking in awe. Tier was shocked at the sight, however only by his level of speed. She'd remembered sensing some level of hollow reiatsu in him.
Bambi and Candice gulped as they realized just how powerful Ichigo was truly becoming. They thought they'd have an easy time getting vengeance on him for the war, but now that idea was rapidly fleeting. Though Candice did get a secondary idea of just how to get back at him for ruining her hair.
While his wives were watching he looked to Shunsui and lowered his guard. Fear spread through the group, save for a few, until he spoke up. "Oi Shunsui! I think it's time we kicked it up a bit." He then smirked. Shunsui was confused for a moment until he felt the dark surge in power from Ichigo and then he knew what the boy meant. In a matter of seconds Ichigo had taken on his full vasto lorde transformation. Albeit with some minor aesthetic changes courtesy of old man Zangetsu. While mostly the same as its first appearance it no longer sported the blood red patches of fur around his wrists, ankles, and neck. Instead he'd gained more tribal marks going down his chest and arms. However the seal on his back remained untouched. It's tsubaki flower still in full bloom within the Byakuagan mirror design.
Now his friends and wives stared in a mix of curiosity, horror, and downright terror. It was a fearsome sight to behold. Then he let out a gutteral roar that bellowed into the air. Poor Tatsuki had to cover her ears as she thought that her ear drums were going to explode.
Bambi and Candice knew from the daten that Ichigo had a vasto lorde transformation. They had never seen it before. Only Ywach's successor Ishida Uryu had and even said that he never wanted to see it again. Their knees threatened to buckle under them from the sheer aura of power and untamed ferocity that Ichigo exuded in this form.
Yachiru, Kirio, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Renji, Ikkaku, and Kenpachi stared on completely dumbfounded by the sudden transformation. Though Ikkaku and Kenpachi got malicious smirks on their faces thinking of when they'd get the chance to fight Ichigo using that form. "I heard from Inoue-san that his hollowfied form was intimidating, but this is unreal. It's almost like we're staring at a completely different person." Kisuke remarked with some scientific curiosity. Yes he knew that Ichigo had a powerful hollow inside him. But he was a scientist at heart and he wanted to study this form of Ichigo's.
Mila Rose and Tier were absolutely shocked at the transformation. Though for drastically different reasons. Mila was terrified of the raw power she felt. While even she understood that no one could sense Ichigo's reiryoku and reiatsu unless he himself wanted them to. One didn't need to be able to sense it to feel its weight against you. She actually took a step back. Yes the lioness stepped back.
Tier clutched the railing while leaning forward to get a better look at Ichigo's form. No not his form. His emotions. She could feel it. His aspect of death. The aspect he would have embodied had he been born a hollow. The aspect of protection. She could vividly feel the protective aura. While the others were terrified or curious Tier was intrigued and comforted by it. And a tad excited. She recognized a true warrior and king when she saw one and here was the Pinnacle of that.
Shunsui began sweating bullets as Ichigo looked him dead in the eye. Shunsui decided that if anything were truly wrong then the zero division would have intervened already and he put on the mask of the carefree man he was. "Yare, yare Kurosaki-sama. That's quite the impressive and intimidating form you've taken on. Is that your zanpakutō's true shikai ability?" He remarked with some genuine curiosity.
Ichigo's laughter surprised everyone. That maniacal laughter. "Not quite Shunsui! See the way my hollow powers work is that they are linked to my shinigami ones, but they're still somewhat separate. The way Zangetsu explained it was way better." He explained. Everyone stared in fascination at Ichigo's explanation.
Then the fight resumed as the buzzing sound of sonido echoed in the arena. Shunsui was on the back foot for the moment. That was until thirty-eight seconds passed and Ichigo's hollow form broke away like over heated porcelain. Ichigo stumbled before Shunsui caught him.
"Thirty-eight seconds. You can do better ." White snorted.
'Yeah. I guess I got caught up in being a show off.' Ichigo retorted.
"No excuses. You can do better."
'yeah. Now we have our baseline. And a good scale of where we fit against Captain rank threats.'
Shunsui patted Ichigo on the shoulder and made his way to the exit saying he'd be back in a few days. Ichigo sonido'd up to the stands where Yachiru was waiting with a towel. As he grabbed the towel and started wiping away the sweat he could feel eyes on him. "So how long have you guys been back?" He asked as hung the towel around his neck and shoulders. "A hour or so." Tatsuki replied. Ichigo then smiled as he walked up to her and planted a kiss on her forehead. This act made all but Kirio and Yachiru blush. Especially Tatsuki who's brain short circuited.
"Oh so now you get over the prude act!" Mila shouted as her usual high energy, combative nature returned from the shock of Ichigo's hollow form. "Jealous?" He retorted causing her to stumble over his words. Truth be told Ichigo was very much still insecure about acts of affection where his wives were concerned. However his spa day with Yachiru and Kirio plus the recent training has given him a big boost in confidence.
Mila who was still stumbling over her words began to pout. For once in a battle of words she'd been bested without intervention from Tier. She began blushing and stuttering when Ichigo weaved his way through the group and made her bend forward so he could kiss her forehead. Making her swoon on the inside.
"Does anyone else want one?" He asked as he looked to the rest of his wives. Tier seemed to shrink. She wasn't used to that kind of close contact and was a bit like Ichigo in regards to love. Bambi and Candice rolled their eyes at him.
Tatsuki was still in space from the kiss. Her mind racing with the possibilities of more intimate contact. Then Yachiru spoke up "since Kirio and I have spent the last two nights sleeping in Ichigo's room. I believe we should decide between Bambi, Candice, Tier and Mila Rose.". The others looked at him incredulously which Ichigo admitted there had been nothing sexual happening.
Bambi gave up the opportunity because she didn't care. Candice passed since she didn't wanna have to expose her nightly self care routine and she hadn't properly finished planning her vengeance. Mila practically jumped at the opportunity still being sore about losing the first night and wanting more of those tinder forehead kisses.
Tatsuki well she was going to pass because she'd already had a turn and secretly wanted to plan out the proper night time outfit. While she was home her mom had been told what happened and took her lingerie shopping. And boy was that a trip.
Tier was busy off in thought weighing her decision. On the one hand she would need to get used to the idea of sharing a bed with him and more intimate things. On the other she was scared of how her mask fragment and hollow hole would affect intimacy. So she opted to just let Mila have the night with him.
As they made their way to Kirio's dining room to eat they were amazed at Ichigo's increased appetite. Which Kirio explained as a natural result of his intensive training. Candice made the snide comment of him gaining weight which Kirio again explained he'd have to eat a thousand times what he was eating now to even begin to affect his weight. Which immediately shut Candice up.
While they were eating they began talking about who'd have their turn after Mila. To which Yachiru and Kirio said they'd opt out of because they'd gotten two whole nights with him. The order while not fully decided ended up with Tier taking her turn after Mila. Candice and Bambi still refused to decide. And Ichigo being Ichigo wasn't going to force the issue. After they finished eating and made their way to their rooms. Ichigo and Mila went into his room where Ichigo immediately went to take a shower.
As Mila sat on the bed a devious idea formed in her head. Since this would be the first time Ichigo was sharing a bed with her. She'd spring the fact she liked to sleep nude on him. As Ichigo came out of the shower in nothing but a towel he went to his closet and picked out a shihaksoū that was royal blue and purple. Ichigo didn't really care for the colors but he needed something. He went back into the bathroom to get dressed.
When he came back out and got into bed that's when Mila started to undress. "Oh you're going to change for bed? But I didn't see you grab any clothes to change into." He said as he looked away for modesty's sake.
"No I can't sleep with clothes on." She retorted
"Huh?"
"I have to sleep nude or else I get too hot and can't get comfortable."
"Oh... Ok."
As Mila got down to her underwear which was a simple pair of pink lace panties and a matching bustier she looked back at Ichigo and wiggled her hips. "You know most normal husbands would be staring and trying to rip these off to have his way with his wife." She cooed. Knowing Ichigo was a supreme virgin she figured doing this would get a reaction out of him. However the one she got wasn't the one she expected. "Well if you want to. I guess we could have sex." Yes he was blushing but not as much as Mila who squeaked at his comment before donning an angry look. "Pervert." Was all she said. "You're the one who suggested it and tried to tempt me to do so. So who's the bigger pervert here?". His retort made Mila yet again stumble before she finished undressing. First her panties hit the floor with a soft thud. However as she was undoing the clasps of her bra she began to struggle. She'd forgotten that she'd grown a bit over the time of the war and so the bustier didn't quite wanna cooperate with her so she sighed and asked the question she didn't want to. "Can you help me get this stupid thing undone?" Ichigo hesitantly crawled over to her. As he did Mila moved her long hair out of the way causing it to brush past Ichigo's nose.
As it did, Ichigo was hit by her subtle lilac and lavender scent. He fumbled with the clasp with shaky hands. As he did Mila tossed it to the floor with a sigh of relief as she began rubbing her delicate mounds. "Oh that's much better." She sighed huskily. The sound made Ichigo's blood hot. "You're welcome Mila." He said after swallowing the lump in his throat.
As he scooted over he began blushing as Mila turned to get in bed. He took in her beauty. From her slender yet toned legs up to her wide sensual hips desperately avoiding her delicate folds up to her stomach and breasts. Nestled between which was her hollow hole. As he met her gaze one thought hit him 'fuck!'. Mila leaned back and bent up her right leg before speaking. "Enjoying the view pervert?". In truth she was enjoying his eyes on her. Seeing he couldn't really put words into motion she relented with a laugh. "You were bound to see us naked someday might as well get used to it now." She said as she relaxed into the bed. "Just make sure your little sword doesn't stab me too much or else I'll have to do something about it." She said sternly.
Ichigo nodded and laid down beside her. The instant he was fully on his back Mila rolled over and latched onto his side. "Also when we lived in Los Noches me and the other tres bestia would cuddle every night. The desert can be a cruel place and it was our one source of warmth and comfort." She explained. Then she felt Ichigo move and was going to protest until she felt him wrap an arm around her midsection. Being careful to not let his hand stray too far north or south. He then kissed her forehead for a second time in one day and told her it was ok.
The next morning Ichigo felt a familiar presence and heard the familiar voice of his father. "GOOOOODDD MORNING ICHIGO!". Mila Rose who'd just barely woken up watched as Ichigo in a split second catch his father mid flying kick and slung him back out of the door whilst screaming "not today goat chin!".
The other ladies came to see what happened only to see Ichigo's eccentric father face first on the ground and a pissed off, shirtless Ichigo in a position as if he'd just thrown someone. Yachiru who knew Isshin well understood the situation. Tatsuki rubbed her eyes blissfully unaware that she hadn't covered herself. "What's going on?".
Yachiru explained it to her and advised her to go get at least a robe to wear. To which Tatsuki began blushing and darted back to her room. Bambi and the others then looked into Ichigo's room to see if Mila was angry as well only to see her blushing and covering herself with the sheets.
"My my Ichigo, you certainly didn't waste time losing your virginity." Yachiru said as she cupped her cheek. Ichigo then began blushing and trying to say nothing happened until Tier explained that Mila liked to sleep naked.
After Mila and Tatsuki got dressed and everyone went to breakfast there was a thick tension surrounding Ichigo. He looked around and began talking to his zanpakutō 'uh... Help.'.
"I believe they are upset that Mila-san slept naked in your room." Old man said calmly
"Don't look at me I have no idea what to do here." White blurted out.
'what should I say? Hey I'm sorry she likes to be naked at night and I had no problems with it?'.
"Perhaps it would be best to let them vent their frustrations."
"Yeah maybe if you go a few rounds of training with them they'll be too tired to be pissed. Hahaha"
'I'll think of something.'
Whilst Ichigo was deep in thought he hadn't noticed the deadly glares that Bambi and Candice had been giving him. "First you sleep with that flat chested tomboy in her underwear then you sleep with the slutty arrancar naked and we're supposed to believe that you're a prude." Candice snidely said.
Ichigo was brought out of his musings and was at a loss for how to recover the situation. Thankfully Yachiru saved him. "Now now, Candice be nice. It's not our dear husband's fault if his wives have their own preferences for how they would like to dress for bed.".
Candice scoffed at the notion while Tier simply ate in silence. After breakfast they made their way to the arena where Bambi and Candice stood in the middle with Ichigo.
"So where do we begin with the whole quincy training?" He asked as he rubbed the back of his neck. Candice explained that he needed to learn how to manipulate reishi by drawing it in and condensing it to whatever form he desired.
Ichigo chuckled at this which made the two Quincy girls stare him down. "That's exactly how Old man Zangetsu taught me how to use the Getsuga tenshoū and getsuga Jujishoū. Kind of ironic isn't it?" He explained after he saw their glares.
After a few minutes of silence Ichigo stuck out his right arm and began focusing, having asked Old man for help since this was technically his area of expertise. It wasn't long before the familiar red and black of his reishi began to ooze out and coalesce around his hand. It formed a long recurve bow shape in which the arms ended in bladed edges.
Bambi and Candice both gained tick marks. It took them months of practice to even get a halfway decent bow formed and here was a man who'd barely been training ten minutes and already had a perfect bow formed.
Ichigo stared at his bow. It was primarily black with red swirls all over. There were also some bright blue lines spreading out from the grip. As he looked to the bladed ends he mentally accredited that detail up to his and White's more melee combat style.
"Ok now pull back the string and do the same to form an arrow." Bambi growled. As Ichigo did so she face palmed. Like a true novice he held the string all wrong. He held it with just his index and thumb, he also had it way too close to his face. Bambi sighed and walked over to him.
She began lightly smacking him all over to correct his posture while explaining what he was doing wrong. Ichigo the ever fast learner quickly complied with her instruction. As Bambi went back over to Candice she mentally noted that with what little they'd done he looked almost like a seasoned sternritter.
Ichibe had targets setup for Ichigo to use for both kido and this type of training. Ichigo did his best to aim dead center and let his area fly. As it launched even he could tell it was too high well before it sailed over target, just barely skimming the edge.
"If you were going for a warning shot I'd say not bad, however we both know that that's not where you were aiming. Again." Candice shouted. As Ichigo readied another arrow Old man Zangetsu gave his advice and with it Ichigo managed a solid hit on the outer rim of the board.
This continued for a few hours until they took a break for lunch. Again the girls were shocked at Ichigo's ridiculous appetite. After lunch training continued for hours more until dinner. After which the group made their way back to their rooms.
As agreed Tier headed to Ichigo's room with him. As Ichigo finished his shower and got dressed he came out of the bathroom and noticed that Tier was just sitting on the bed. "You ok?" He asked, concerned that she was uncomfortable about sleeping with him.
"Yes I'm fine. Just thinking about how this would work." She calmly said. "How would what work?" Ichigo blurted out missing the obvious. "Intimacy between us. And no I don't just mean sex. There are other acts of intimacy and affection that I feel would be impossible given my appearance." She explained.
Ichigo still wasn't getting the idea of what she was talking about until she turned and pointed to her mask. Then it clicked in his head. 'Honestly that makes sense. Kinda can't make out or even share a kiss if your mouth is always covered and you can't remove it.'
"She can't but you could." Old man said trying to give Ichigo a hint.
'How?'
"You are the soul king. And as Ichibe stated your very will can make things change."
'huh?'
"You can literally warp reality at will and take her damn mask off dumbass!" White said in frustration.
'oh... How?'
"I dunno.'
"It is worth trying."
Ichigo then climbed into bed and set his palm against her cheek "it's ok if we can't share those kinds of things. But don't you have ressurectioné?" He asked genuinely. Tier nodded and explained that the transformation takes a massive amount of energy to maintain so to just use it for simple kisses would be too exhausting.
Ichigo sighed and rubbed his thumb across her mask. His eyes widened as he saw bits breaking off. "Woah." He said dumbly. Tier was confused and touched where he was rubbing and felt the missing section. As she sprang up she felt it grow back and she gave Ichigo an inquisitive look. "I guess as the soul king I can take it off as long as I touch you." He guessed as he flexed his hand.
Tier then sat back in bed and leaned into Ichigo. "Perhaps you can try." She said with a waver in her tone. Ichigo could hear the apprehension in her voice and wrapped his arms around her.
And that's chapter 6 done. Jeez this is a long one. I guess that's what happens when you plot out some chaos and start writing it out. As for why Mila Rose likes to sleep naked. I felt it was an interesting idiosyncrasy that she'd most likely have.
See ya later space cowboy.
