Chapter 24: An awkward explanation

The next day

Ichigo slowly opened his eyes as the sun shined down onto him. The one downside of always having his curtain never drawn was that damn morning sun. Always waking him up at the crack o dawn. He opened his eyes at the annoyance of the light and was pleasantly surprised and filled with joy at the bundle of dark hair leaned up to his chest. He smiled as he parted the hair and saw the face of the arrancar that he claimed last night in a very rough way. Quorro was sound asleep from their escapades last night, her ass and loins most likely still a little sore from Ichigo's rough treatment, but a content smile on her face. Ichigo drew the curtains so that the light wouldn't hit her face either and gently parted himself from her body. As much as he wanted to lay there with her, watching her beautiful sleeping form, he had a few things to do today. Most likely she would leave while he was gone, but that was okay in his opinion. He had an idea that Kisuke knew what was going on. Two of these arrancar not that far apart from appearances and both attracted to him. One wanting to fight, the other to spy on him. Something was definitely going on that he needed to know about.

Ichigo got out of bed and got dressed in jeans and a white shirt. He decided not to shower right away as he sometimes secretly liked the smell of musk and sex on him. It was nice and turned his girls on to no end all of the time. Ichigo made it downstairs and realized he was the only one up.

Not wanting his father to break his window or kick down his door to wake him up in a ridiculous way, Ichigo knocked on his door. "Hey dad, I'm goin out for a bit!" He yelled from the other side, not waiting for an answer.

He left and went for the front door, completely unaware that the door cracked open and a pair of eyes watched him leave.

Ichigo made his way towards Kisuke's shop, wondering just what this arrancar army had anything to do with him. Sure, he was already a very popular topic throughout the spiritual worlds, but something didn't make sense to him. If what the head captain spoke of was true, then why would an army be needed to grab him? This all sounded a lot deeper than just him, which was both good and bad. Good for him but bad for everyone else.

He shook those thoughts from his mind as the shop came into view, and on the front porch was none other than Tessai herself as she was opening the shop.

"Hey there Tessai." Ichigo spoke up as he walked up to her.

Tessai was surprised to hear anyone else's voice aside from anyone who lived here. She turned around and saw Ichigo walking up to her. She blushed a bit as she tried very hard not to see what all the fuss Yoruichi went on and on about Ichigo was all about. "Hello there Ichigo." She started in a hesitant tone. "What brings you here this early in the morning?"

Ichigo smiled to her and she looked away with an even heavier blush. "Is Kisuke up yet? I need to talk to her about something important."

Tessai nodded as she went inside, motioning for the strawberry to follow. They went past the storefront and into the halls as they passed a few rooms. Ichigo looked in a few and saw one room with both those two kids that are always here sleeping soundly. One room had a stirring Yoruichi in her human form and naked as well, her glorious breast on full display. She saw Ichigo with her tired eyes and immediately perked up.

"Ichigo?" She started as he winked at her and kept walking behind Tessai.

Yoruichi quickly got out of her bed and got dressed to follow the two. Tessai led Ichigo to Kisuke's room and knocked on the door.

"Boss." She started.

"What Tessai?" The tired voice of the former captain could be heard from the other side.

"Ichigo Kurosaki is here to speak with you."

The three heard a loud bang and a few other things falling over before hearing quickening footsteps to the door. Said door flung open to show a disheveled Kisuke wearing a crop top and her panties looking directly at the orange haired teen. "Ichigo?" She started in a surprised tone. "What are you doing here?"

Ichigo smirked at her before answering. "Well, I guess I wanted a good view of you." Ichigo answered as he looked Kisuke up and down. Those legs looked delicious. Kisuke blushed hard before closing the door to put on some pants. When she opened the door, Ichigo got a bit serious. "I was wondering if you know anything about arrancar's, Kisuke."

The word caught the three's attention quickly and they all shared a serious look among themselves. Kisuke motioned for him to follow her inside her room. Tessai went back to the front to open up the shop while Yoruichi went inside with the two. Kisuke's room was very cluttered. Stacks of papers everywhere, some weird devices scattered around the floor, a futon mat in the corner of the room, and a small table with various vials and test tubes strewn around it. Ichigo wasn't all that surprised by the room in all honesty.

The three sat down in some open area near the center of the room on cushions and Kisuke asked the all important question. "How do you know that word Ichigo?"

Ichigo didn't back down from her serious gaze and answered in kind. "Not that long ago, an arrancar named Grimmjane Jaegerjaquez attacked me and Kon on our way to a hollow presence." The two women weren't really surprised. They felt the spirit energy and went to investigate only for the fight to be long over by the time they arrived.

"I assume this visit isn't about that though?" Kisuke asked him.

"Nope." Ichigo answered her before continuing. "Just last night I caught a woman in a white soul reaper outfit spying on me from afar." This caught their attention. "After some, persuasion, she told me her name and that she and Grimmjane are arrancar." The two noticed the emphasis on the 'persuasion' and could only blush at what he did to her. "She didn't tell me who their leader was, so I was wondering if you knew what was going on Kisuke."

Kisuke sighed as she answered him. "Right now, the soul society is at war Ichigo."

"War?" He started with a raised brow. "With who, these arrancar?"

"Worse." She answered. "Three captains have just gone rouge not too long ago and allied themselves with the hollows."

"Who were they?"

"No one that you know all too well." Kisuke answered. "Their names are Sorako Aizen, Gina Ichimaru and Kaname Tousen." Kisuke sighed. "They were the ones who killed the central 46 and were the reason behind Rukia's dated execution Ichigo."

Ichigo went wide eyed. He remembered the head captain telling him about the dead central 46. Not to mention the fact they pushed Rukia's execution date. At least now he had a reason to be upset at them.

"If one of the arrancar were sent to spy on you, no doubt that Sorako, the leader of all this, is particularly interested in you Ichigo." Kisuke continued. "Where is this arrancar now?"

"I left Quorro back on my bed. Most likely she's already left by now." Ichigo answered her.

"Wouldn't be surprised really." Yoruichi answered as she leaned onto Ichigo's left shoulder.

"Well if that's the case," Kisuke continued on. "Arrancar are hollows that have removed their mask and gained soul reaper powers. That's why they're stronger than standard hollows."

Ichigo nodded now that he knew what he was dealing with. "Well, if that's all, I guess I'll be more careful from now on."

"That would be wise Ichigo." Kisuke started. "Aizen is a relentless woman who is as cunning as she is deceitful. If she has eyes on you, it can't be good."

Ichigo nodded. He was about to get up to leave when Yoruichi spoke up to him. "Ya know, my room isn't that far Ichigo." Her seductive voice was all the conformation Ichigo needed. "Wanna have some fun while you're here?"

Kisuke's face flushed as she heard her best friend practically tell Ichigo to fuck her in her room right now. She stood up quickly, grabbed Ichigo by his wrist, and dragged him out of her room. Yoruichi pouted as Kisuke just ruined her fun.

The shopkeeper pulled Ichigo outside and looked at him with an annoyed look. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly and chuckled a bit. Kisuke left him there as she went back inside the shop. Ichigo smiled and shook his head, thinking about how he still needed to repay Kisuke for training him, and also punish her for lying to him about her being a former captain. Boy, that would be a very fun experience. While Ichigo thought of that, he decided to head on home to see If Quorro had already left or not. If not, then he wondered if she was up for round two.

Las Noches

Right now, Sorako had her espada and their fraccion all together in a meeting area. She had a confident smirk on her face as they were all waiting for Quorro to return with information on Ichigo Kurosaki. Because of Grimmjane's rash actions, they at least knew how well he adapts to battle situations and that he values the lives of his friends. Now it was time for them to know just what else he could do.

As they all waited, some were getting restless. There was obviously Grimmjane and her fraccion. They were very impatient and Grimmjane just wanted to fight something, or fuck it senseless. For her, it really sucked that she was in heat and her body was acting up on her.

Another one becoming restless was the number two espada, Baraga Louisenbairn. She was the oldest looking espada among the group. Dark skin, bit of wrinkles along her face and body, short white hair and a form fitting white outfit on. She was currently sitting in her chair with her chin resting on her fist which was propped on the arm of the chair. She hated waiting for someone so insignificant in her one eye.

Another that was getting rather irritated was a tall and skinny woman that was the fifth espada, Nnoitra Gilga. She may be skinny, but she had curvy hips that could make anybody turn their head towards her. She wore a tight uniform with a spoon top behind her head and she had black hair that reached to her upper back.

The last was the the biggest out of the group. She was large and muscular while also having killer hips and a large rack. She was the tenth/zero espada, Yamma Llargo. She wore the standard white pants but the top she wore only covered her arms and a small bit of her breast. She never wore wrappings or anything under the top.

The rest of the espada and their fraccion were waiting patiently for Quorro. They didn't have to wait long as only ten minutes later the forth espada came out of a garganta. Sorako was expecting the same, emotionless and dedicated look to her loyal and well polished arrancar, but what she got surprised the hell out of her and the others all around the room.

Quorro had a disheveled look to her. Hair unkempt, clothes ragged with her obi torn off so she had to hold her hakuma up by hand, and her usually emotionless face was flushed red.

"Q-Quorro?" Sorako started as she got the espada's attention. "What the hell happened to you?"

"Yeah, you look like shit?" Nnoitra spoke up while grinning.

Quorro blushed as she removed her eye. This was going to be really awkward.
