But I'm Surrounded By You - Part Two

I left her apartment late after I helped her clean up. We got to talk about our future. After everything was said and done, we would be getting married in August giving us enough time to plan a small wedding and right before I would move to Tokyo to attend medical school. I told her to hold off on telling anyone, so I could talk to my dad. I have no idea what my old man was going to say. Sure, he acted like an idiot most of the time and made light of everything, but he did have his serious moments that were just as disturbing

I finally get home and hope my dad is awake, so I can get this conversation over with. Just my luck, Dad and Urahara are sitting around the kitchen table drinking. I sigh loudly, of course hat and clogs would be here.

"Uh, hey, I'm home."

My dad immediately begins his dramatic speech. "Son! Where have you been? Do you know how late it is? I know you've graduated high school, but you could at least call!"

I sigh, completely ignoring everything he just said. "Well, Dad, there's something I actually need to talk to you about." I glance over at Urahara, his eyes hidden but I see his smirk. Does he already know? How could he? Then again what doesn't he know.

"Well, my boy, quit stalling and just spit it out!"

I groan. "Orihime and I are getting married… soon… in August actually…" I hold my breath waiting for their reaction.

They both turn to look at each other not saying a word. I can sense an unspoken dialogue. I feel a headache coming on waiting for someone to say something, anything!

"It's about damn time son! How could you keep a beauty like Orihime-chan waiting this long! I see you've gone straight to marriage though! Is this because you can't wait to have se-" I kick his chair over cutting off his comment.

Urahara quickly chimes in, "Ah, Inoue-san will make a lovely bride. And of course, with a body like hers she will easily be able to bear your children and provide quality nourishment" He slyly adds. I suppress the urge to punch him.

My dad quickly recovers, getting back in his chair. "Yes, that is very true." He says rubbing his chin, looking lost in his own thoughts.

"Okay! That's enough out of the both of you! Quit thinking about Orihime like that!" They both burst out laughing. My blood starts to boil. "Oh, so you both want to fight, is that it?" I start to lunge at my dad when he finally stops laughing.

"Okay we're done," he wipes a tear from his eye, "but seriously, Ichigo, the first time with Orihime-chan may not be what you expect." I close my eyes trying to keep calm and not blow a fuse from embarrassment. I'd rather not have to hear it from my dad or Urahara, but honestly, I don't want to mess things up with Orihime. Then again, they're old, what do they know?

"Especially since you're not really normal. That hollow inside of you could make things a lot more difficult." Urahara says behind his fan. Damn hollow, how could I forget about him.

Maybe they would be of some help. Fuck, what am I getting myself into? I probably don't even have a choice. "Fine, just tell me what I know you're going to force me to listen to at some point." I manage to sound calm, but I know my face is bright red.

"Have a seat son." He pulls out a chair and I sit down as he hands me a small glass of sake. "You might as well have a drink since you're finally going to become a man." He laughs.

I eye the drink warily but take it and gulp down the awful drink. Maybe the alcohol will help me get through this conversation.

A few shots later I stumble up into my room sporting what I assume is a permanent red stained face. I know there are conversations that fathers and sons are not supposed to have and I'm sure 99% of them I just endured with my dad and Urahara. It was embarrassing as hell, but I have to admit that some of it might actually be helpful. Ugh my dad is such a pain in my ass. I fall face first onto my bed.

The next morning, I wake up with a horrible headache. I rub my face and head straight to the shower. The cold shower helps relieve the throbbing headache, but I know food will probably help the nausea.

I walk into the kitchen and see my dad sitting in the living room.

"Oh, good you're up son!" He grins like he didn't just pound a whole bottle of sake last night. What the hell?

"Yeah." I mumble. No thanks to all that alcohol.

"Here I wanted to give you this." He walks over and places a small box on the counter. "It's for my future daughter-in-law. I want her to have this. I know your mother would have wanted her to have it as well."

I don't have to open it to know that it's my mother's engagement ring.

"Dad…" I don't know what to say. I hadn't really thought about how I would get her a ring, Orihime of course told me not to worry about it for now, but now knowing that she'll have a piece of my mother with her seems more than perfect.

"You need to save your money and concentrate in medical school, so you can give Orihime the life she deserves." He pats me hard on the back.

"Thanks Dad, I know she'll love it." I place the box into my jeans and know where I need to go this morning.

Wedding

The months went by fast and slow at the same time. Fast because it wasn't enough time with Orihime. We were always doing something wedding related or our friends would butt in on our time alone. But when we were alone all I wanted was to touch her. So many times, we were close to crossing certain boundaries, but fortunately we were able to stop.

It was becoming harder and harder to stop though, so when the day finally came, I was ready to explode, but I would never admit that. I was getting enough shit from my friends.

"So, you ready for tonight, Ichigo?" Renji raised his eyebrows suggestively at me.

"Damn Ichigo, you're so lucky to be marrying such a babe! Not Fair!" Keigo whined, tears dramatically streaming down his face.

"Will you two shut the hell up?!" I close my eyes as my temper starts to flare. I can hear them whispering and snickering. These damn perverts.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up to see Chad giving me a thumbs up. At least I have one friend I can count on.

We're finally standing at the altar. I look to see my dad and Urahara giving me knowing looks but I'm getting too nervous to focus on them. I don't know why I feel so nervous, but the moment I see her enter the room. Everything else fades into the background. She kept her long auburn hair down and the white dress fit her curves perfectly. She transcended beautiful. She was an alluring angel, captivating my entire being. How did I get so lucky to have her?

It was hard concentrating on the ceremony until our vows. Orihime had told me to write down what I wanted to say but I figured I would just wing it, so I did just that.

"Inoue Orihime, I vow to love you, to care for you, and to protect you with my life. You are my ally, my friend, my all. From this day forward, you will never be alone. You have me, completely, Orihime. In front of our friends and family, I want it to be known, that it has only been and will only ever be you, for me."

"Kurosaki Ichigo, I vow to love you, to make you smile, to be committed to only you, and to treasure every moment we have together. My love for you is everlasting, so for however many lifetimes we live, I will, without fail, fall in love with you in every one."

I hold her hand tightly in mine after we place our rings on each other. Even now my love continues to grow for her as I hear her words. A warmth spreads throughout my chest as I look into her eyes.

"You may now kiss your bride."

I press my lips softly to hers and start to deepen our kiss until the whole room erupts into cheers and applause. I immediately pull back remembering we aren't alone. I look down to see Orihime blushing.

"Sorry," I whisper, "I forgot about them." I chuckle. She gives me a warm smile.

The reception was nice, but I was ready for it to be over. I couldn't stop thinking about what Orihime was wearing under that dress or what was going to happen tonight.

We said our thanks and goodbyes to everyone that came.

"You ready?" I gently squeeze Orihime's hand.

"Yeah, let's go." She whispers.

At her apartment

I carry Orihime inside, walking towards her room and set her down near the bed. My hands are sweating and I'm sure she's just as nervous as I am.

"Eh… I'll be right back!" She dashes into the bathroom and closes the door. I face palm and wonder what exactly she could be doing in there.

I start loosening my tie and take my grey jacket off and then vest. I hear the bathroom door open and nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. Orihime was dressed in white lingerie and white thigh-high stockings. Her lacy corset and panties were see-through. I knew I couldn't stop the blood flowing to my cock even if I wanted to.

"Hey. D-do I look okay?" She turns around agonizingly slow, her arms wrapped around her waist. Orihime, the embodiment of sweet and innocent and here she was seducing me? This can't be right. No, she doesn't even have a clue of how fucking hard she's making me just looking at her.

"You're breathtaking." I walk towards her trying to keep in mind that I need to be gentle with her. My hands grip her small waist and pull her into a slow and tender kiss. Her hands slide to my chest as she finishes unbuttoning my dress shirt. Her hands slip inside the material, running her hands across my abdomen up to my chest. Her feather light touches ignite my blood; my need for her growing deeper. I bring my arms down letting the material fall off my shoulders. Her hands slide back down towards my belt. She deftly unbuckles the belt and unfastens my pants. I feel my erection twitch with anticipation.

I'm shocked as she goes down to the floor pulling my boxers and pants down. I kick my pants and socks away. I watch her, now knelt in front of me, I reflexively reach out to the back of her head, running my fingers through her soft hair. Is she really going to do what I think she is? She grips me firmly in her hand. I groan loudly finally feeling her skin on me after all these months.

She slowly starts pumping me with both hands. I can't help the smirk when I see how big I am in her hands. Her grasp barely reaches around me.

"Uh… Am I doing this right?" Her sweet voice brings my attention back to her.

"Yeah, don't worry, anything you do is good."

I clench my jaw suppressing a loud groan when her tongue licks up and down the length of me, she stops to suck on certain spots, and then continues her licks. I feel her tongue swirl around the head until placing it in her mouth, her hands still wrapped tightly around me.

"Yeah that's really good…" I grunt.

Her hands join her mouth and they start moving in sync. Up and down. Up and down. It's so warm and wet.

I look down and see myself in her mouth. I can't stop watching her. My hand on the back of her head instinctively guides her on how fast and deep to go. I'm so close to releasing. "Fuck, Hime…" I groan loudly, shutting my eyes tight, the deeper she takes me. I can feel her tongue flick and swirl around the head and she sucks harder, deeper. It's driving me to that edge. My whole body is hot and tense. Pressure builds where her mouth is and I'm so close.

"Shit… Hime… I'm about to…" I try warning her through gritted teeth. She moves faster and faster until I can't take it anymore. "Ahhh…" I open my eyes, keeping them on her feeling my blood pump hot in my veins, electricity coursing through my entire body, before I come harshly in her mouth. Fuck! This feeling is so intense as she keeps sucking, taking everything, I give her. I flop out of her mouth and she smiles shyly up at me licking her lips. Damn she looks so fucking sexy.

"Was that good?"

"Hell yes. My turn." I lift her up, grabbing her under her arms and guide her down towards the bed. I lay beside her.

"Lay on your side, with your back to me." She does as she's told. I sweep her hair out of the way and kiss the nape of her neck. She shivers as my hand starts unhooking the back of her corset. I place kisses across her back to her shoulder. Her familiar, sweet, floral scent invades my nose and I inhale deeply. I'm already addicted to her smell and I can only wonder what her taste will do to me.

"You smell so good, Orihime." I get a small moan in response as I unhook the last clasp and the corset falls away. I slide my hand over to her flat stomach toward her large breast. I cup her and massage her gently. Another sound resonates in her throat. I roll her nipple making her body arch beautifully against me. Her ass grinding against me. I feel my desire start to build again. I kiss and suck the soft skin beneath her ear and down the side of her throat and bite her gently. A louder moan comes from her mouth as she buries her head in the pillow. Her hand grasps my thigh as I continue kissing her neck. I try to ignore the hollow stirring within me.

My hand slides back down her stomach into her white panties. I feel a small, soft patch of hair before I reach my destination. She's drenched. Her grasp on my thigh tightens and she lets out the most erotic sound. I continue to feel around, spreading her open until I find the small nub of flesh between her folds and start rubbing her lightly. She gasps and moans loudly pushing her back against me. I move back letting her lay flat, so I can catch her nipple in my mouth drawing out more pleasure from her body. My middle finger slides further down to the source of her arousal. I slip my finger inside as my thumb takes over her clitoris. She's panting now.

"Ichigo!" Her eyes closed, moaning louder, her hand grasps my forearm.

My ring finger slides in as well as I start to slide my hand in and out. I feel her fluid run down my hand making me aware painfully aware of my erection. All I want is to taste her, here. But I take my time and start with her delectable mouth. I hover over her body, settling between her legs, and kiss her roughly, savoring her taste. I work down to her large breasts sucking the soft skin searching for her nipple. When I find it, I nip it softly and suck her hard. She squirms under my touch breathing heavily, moaning louder than the last. I reach her stomach, kissing and nibbling her. She giggles, abruptly stopping to let out a small moan when I kiss her between her thighs. I skim my nose along the inside of her thighs, up and down. She smells intoxicating the closer I get to her sex. It's heady, musky, and sweet all in one. I have to close my eyes to concentrate in staying in control.

Hey calm the fuck down. Damn hollow.

I can't when you're taking so fucking long!

Shut the hell up and stay back! You're making things worse!

"I-Ichigo w-what are you doing?" She tries closing her legs. I shake my head trying to concentrate on her again.

"This." I tug her panties down her legs and toss them aside. I grab her thighs and spread her open. She's quite a vision, completely soaked and the most perfect shade of pink I've ever seen. I quickly dive my mouth down on her. Finally tasting her, which was definitely worth the wait. My hollow surges forward. I can feel his presence lingering throughout my body. At this point I don't know whose actions are whose and I don't really care anymore as her scent and taste invade my senses. Her hips buck up instantly, a loud moan filling the room. I lay my arm across her hips to keep her steady. I use my tongue to open her and she's a whimpering mess. I smirk into her and glide my tongue up to meet her clitoris. She moans my name so loud I'm sure she could be heard next door. My possessive nature is taking over, and I want her all to myself. To own her in every way.

I focus my mouth on her, kissing, sucking her clitoris. Both of her hands are in my hair, tugging so hard I'm groaning into her. I keep working my mouth over her enjoying her sweet taste. I slip my tongue into her, her essence flowing down my tongue and throat. I tighten my grip on her thighs opening her wider, wanting more of her. She's small here and it's easy to devour her. It's not long before I feel her convulsing underneath me as she comes loud and hard. I feel more liquid seep into my mouth. Her small frame spasms as her hips lift off the bed, my mouth staying on her, letting her grind against my mouth. Fuck. My erection is so hard it's almost painful. I wrap my hand around myself, stroking up and down trying to find some relief.

I rise up and kneel between her legs, wiping my face on the back of my arm and smirk down at my work. She's lying limp on the bed, legs trembling, breasts rising and falling with each breath. Her face and chest are flushed a bright red, eyes hooded and dark. I want to be inside her. Now.

I lean over her kissing her parted lips. "You're so beautiful Orihime. Just like this." I rub the tip of my penis against her slick heat searching for her entrance.

She's breathless. Her hips rise. "Take me, Ichigo." I kiss her again softly as I grip my erection in my hand.

She squirms but my other hand holds her firmly in place. I feel her small opening and push in. She whimpers quietly, and I kiss her gently. She starts relaxing and I push further. Her nails dig into back making it harder to resist from slamming myself inside her. My breathing turns hard and fast, fighting to control myself. At least Dad had warned me about this, had he not, I might have just given up and decided I just wouldn't fit. I kiss her soft breasts seeking her nipple. I latch on and suck deeply. She arches her back and I continue pushing fully inside. I groan loudly as she cries out. I kiss her trying to ease the pain. Fully inside I nearly see stars with how good it feels. So much heat, thoroughly soaked and tight. Tighter than I had imagined, which honestly, I did quite a few times.

"Sorry, Hime."

"I'm okay, I promise." She smiles up at me cupping my face in her hands. My hips instinctively start rocking in and out of her, slowly at first until her whimpers turn into soft moans and I'm plunging faster, deeper. My fucking hollow is raging against me again, trying to gain full control. Bastard.

Orihime's sounds fill the whole room, not that I'm being quiet but she's all I hear. I feel myself getting pulled into my subconscious. Fuck not right now! I can still feel my body but the hollow has just as much control as I do.

I hear Orihime gasp. "Y-your eyes, Ichigo."

I close my eyes and lean my head down to her shoulder trying not to frighten her. Her small hands wrap around my neck. "I'm sorry, he… won't stay back, but I'm still here so please…don't worry."

Her hands lift my head up. I open my eyes and look into hers. "Hey, it's okay. I'm not scared… really." She places a kiss on my lips. I kiss her back and finally stop resisting against my hollow. I can feel us both move as one. My strong desire for her more prominent as I fill her over and over. Putting the ultimate claim to her body. How I feel inside of her right now is primal. I don't even have to think anymore as instinct takes over. It feels like me, but I can see and hear the hollow's thoughts as if they were my own. This is what possession must feel like. I am the hollow right now and he is me.

My hips slam into hers and she's crying out our name. Her nails slide down my back feeding my lust. My lips crush down onto hers, my tongue searching for hers. I can feel her walls spasm around me. Tightening and relaxing until I hear her coming again, around me this time. God, I love that sound. She's slicker now, as I slip in and out. I kiss my way down to her neck, sucking and biting the soft skin, wanting to mark her delicate body. Earlier I was just a bystander, but now in full control I'll do things my way.

I roll us over without breaking contact and look up at her amazing body. I look into her eyes and I can sense hesitation. She says she's not scared but she doesn't look at me the way she does King. I smirk. Maybe after thoroughly fucking her she would come around.

Her large breasts bounce with every thrust, arousing me even further. I grip her hips bringing her down onto my cock as I thrust up. Her hands are on my shoulders, her head thrown back. I lean up taking her nipple into my mouth, biting her while still pounding into her. Her moans are so loud, making my blood hot, fueling my need for her.

I lean back looking at where we meet, and I remember I didn't get a proper taste earlier. Fucking King… I lift her easily by her hips bringing her to my mouth. Her thighs on my shoulder. I raise my knees up as she holds onto them for support.

"You taste so fucking good." I push my tongue inside her heat. It's not long before her thighs are shaking as she screams coming in my mouth. I kiss the inside of her thigh before biting her hard and sucking her soft flesh, putting my own mark on her body.

Her body collapses but I catch her before she falls wrapping my arms around her hips and back as I ease myself back into her.

She's soaked, and I fill her over and over going deeper with every thrust.

"I-I don't think I can take anymore. Please…" She's panting and moaning.

"Yes, you can. Just a little longer..." I groan into her mouth taking another kiss. I grip her ass and help move her body. I push my tongue against hers eliciting her body to awaken again as she starts riding me on her own. She breaks the kiss leaning her head back as she moves faster, up and down. Her hands on my shoulders, digging her nails into my skin. Shit. That feels good. I thrust up harder into her. She moves her head back into my neck. Her soft lips kiss my neck.

"More, bite, there." I say through gritted teeth. She sucks on the skin until she bites me firmly. "Harder." Her teeth sink harshly into me.

"Fuck!" I finally release inside of her. Grunting and panting. I wring out every ounce of pleasure I can from her body as my hips lazily thrust up and down. Her body is light in my arms, still lifting her up and down until I'm fully satisfied. I fall back down onto the bed as Orihime falls onto my chest. Our breathing hard and fast. I slip out of her as are breathing returns to normal.

The next morning, I wake up to feeling a tickle in my nose. I open my eyes and see Orihime snuggled up against my chest. Her hair sprawled wildly with some trying to get into my nose. I move her hair causing her to stir. Her bright eyes look up at me and she smiles. God, she's so beautiful. My wife. I hold her close as that unnerving feel of possession grows inside of me, again.

I'm relieved to feel like myself again. Being inside the Hollow's mind I was surprised to know he loved her as much as I do. His love more lustful and rawer, but the same intensity. At least now I knew she would never be in danger around him.

"Morning." I rub her back and kiss her hair. "You okay? We… didn't hurt you, did we?" I ask as vivid flashbacks play through my mind and wonder if my hollow and myself were too rough with her. Thankful that he had receded for the moment.

She shakes her head. "N-no… that was amazing, actually."

I smirk. "Good. I feel the same." I let out a breath.

"But I was surprised to see him."

"Yeah, we thought he might become a problem so we tried to come up with a plan to keep him at bay, but nothing worked. I figured I could probably hold him off, but you know how that went." I give her a sheepish smile.

"We?"

"Oh… yeah…my dad, Urahara, and myself… It's sort of a weird story I never want to relive." I grimace trying to push those thoughts away.

She giggles. "Well I'm okay with the results."

"Yeah?" I give her a small smile.

"Yes." She leans up and kisses me. Her small innocent kiss immediately awakens my desire for her. I place my hand on her waist slowing sliding down to grab her bottom.

She gasps. "I-Ichigo!"

I smile at her. "Sorry, I don't think I can keep my hands to myself anymore when we're alone."

Her blush turns bright. "It's okay I was just surprised." She smiles timidly. "So that means I can touch you, too… when I want?"

"Yeah, you are my wife after all." I grin widely at her and place my hands behind my head.

"Then maybe in the shower?" She smiles brightly.

My eyes open wide and I nod. "Let's go!" I grab her arm heading for the shower. I notice her wince a little. "What's wrong?"

"I guess I am a little sore." She gives me a small smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I should've known. You need a bath then."

I go in to the bathroom to fill the bathtub for her. When I walk back in the room, I pick her up easily and walk back in the bathroom placing her in the tub, going in with her.

"Thank you Ichigo-kun, the water feels perfect."

"Glad to hear it." I lean my head back against the tub. I feel her move in the water towards me and I look down at her.

"I knew you'd be a great husband one day, I only hoped I would be lucky enough for you to be mine." She says quietly, laying her cheek on my chest. I wrap my arms around her body.

"I'm the lucky one Orihime."

Goodbye For Now

"Something to remember me by." She hands me a small envelope right before I get ready to board the train. I tear it open and my mouth immediately falls open, my blood pulsing south. It's a few pictures of Orihime, one in the red dress from the graduation party, one in a bikini, and one in her high school uniform, with Kon! That bastard is dead the next time I see him. They are all in innocent but teasing poses. Holy fuck! What on earth possessed her to do this?

"O-orihime, wha-, who-, when did you take these?"

"A few days ago. Rangiku-san came to visit, and she actually picked the outfits. She insisted these would help you in your alone time, so I agreed! I want to help you in any way that I can." She raises her arm in the air. That damn lieutenant is corrupting my innocent wife. I glance back at the pictures and tuck them into the pocket of my jeans, for safekeeping purposes of course.

"Well, uh, thanks, Orihime. For wanting to help I mean." I smile and shake my head. She's too naïve sometimes, but that's what makes her, her. I run my fingers through the strands at the back of her head and lean down kissing her forehead.

"I'm really going to miss you Orihime," I murmur against her skin.

"Me too. I love you, Ichigo-kun." I look down at her face and see the steady stream of tears running down her face.

"Hey, no crying." I wipe away the tears with my thumbs. "Remember I can still turn into my soul reaper form and I'll get to you as fast as I can."

She sniffles. "No, I don't want to be selfish and take you away from your school work. We'll both do our best in college and focus on our studies!" She gives me a small smile.

"Yes, we will." I lean further down and kiss her slowly, savoring her sweet taste. I reluctantly pull back. "I love you, Orihime. I'll call you when I get there."

She sniffles. "I love you, too."

These months apart were definitely going to be hard, but I had to get through them, for her, for us, and for our future family I knew I wanted to start as soon as we could. I smile knowing I finally got my girl and as long as I had her by my side, I could fight through anything in my life.

AN: I tried a lot of different things in this story, so I hope it didn't fall flat. I didn't want to make this story super long that's why I skipped ahead to parts and didn't have many other characters talk. I knew if I made it longer, I would never finish till next year lol.

The title is from a Christian song called Surrounded by Michael W. Smith. When I first saw this lyric, I pictured Ichigo surrounded by his enemies, but having no fear because he is surrounded by Orihime's presence and he can do anything with her by his side. Or from Orihime's perspective: she thinks/sees him surrounded by his soul reaper duties, his friends, and family but she has no idea that he's thinking about her, surrounded by thoughts of her, surrounded by his love for her.

As I said before I've only watched English dubbed Bleach, but I understand the importance of names, so I tried to be more authentic in that perspective for this story.
