Chapter 12: The Princess

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach

Ichigo Kurosaki

"Ichigo, sto-o-oh."

The closet was too cramped to be doing this in. They have done well in sneaking around ever since the last incident with the panties, from which they miraculously made it out of unscathed, but now they're just pushing their luck… Again. Why was it he always had a knack for living life on the edge? Whatever. Who the fuck cares now?

Ichigo was despite everything still serious about doing it in the utilities closet on the training grounds at the mansion. It was small compared to the grounds at the 6th division, but that didn't take away that it was still huge no matter what you compare it with. Nobody was going to show up and bother him and his girlfriend here, not today. Why? Because he had a good feeling he was going to get lucky of course.

It started out very innocently with just regular training and like any good soul reaper out there, they worked up a sweat. Slashes were flying off his Zangetsu and were easily blocked by her Sode no Shirayuki. She had gotten quite good because she was really keeping up with him with no trouble whatsoever and he thought it was quite hot actually. By chance he had snuck up on her and managed to catch her in his arms. How they wound up in the utilities closet he couldn't remember.

"What was that? Wanna repeat that princess?" He whispered to her as he continued to suck on her neck and was trying to slip off her uniform. She couldn't see it, but he was just plain smiling like a cheeky devil right now.

"No, she will not repeat that."

"Yeah, that's what I thought." He said as he continued what he was doing, he even threw in some slow, rhythmic grinding against her this time around. In his head everything was normal, despite Rukia suddenly developing a deep voice. Deep voice?

"Get off my chair. You are violating my furniture."

"What are you talking about Rukia?" He turned his face away from her and looked around. He could not find the chair she was referring to. He turned back to look at her and ask what she was talking about, but before he could, he wound up immediately pushing her away. That sweet, sometimes downright devious face he adored so much had been replaced with one he did not ever want to be that up close and personal with. The one and only Byakuya Kuchiki was now the one who was in his arms, ass in his hand and all.

"WHAT THE-" He suddenly felt a great force collide with his head and he jolted upright. After that he saw nothing but brightness coming out of nowhere.

"Welcome back to the land of the living, I hope you enjoyed your stay in Neverland. Was 'princess' good to you?" Now this was the sharp, sarcastic voice of an angel he had come to love. At least now he knew he wasn't completely losing his mind.

"What happened?" He asked while he rubbed the sore spot on the back of his head. He fully opened his eyes to see an annoyed Rukia standing near a Byakuya whose face was as unreadable as ever. He saw that he was in Byakuya's study and in his little seat behind the desk to be exact. Please don't tell me I was dry humping Byakuya's paperwork just now…

"You fell asleep Baka…" She huffed from the other side of the room and slowly strode further into the room towards the desk. Ichigo looked over and got a good look at Byakuya standing a few steps behind where Rukia was standing just now. The little circles around his eyes gave away that he had been without rest for a few nights now. Already? I thought you were supposed to start losing sleep once the baby actually arrives.

He then looked at Rukia as she walked towards the desk, he looked at her feet in particular because he noticed that one of her sandals were missing. At least now he knew what had hit him in the head just now, it made sense because he knew for sure it was no pillow.

"And it looks like… You enjoyed… The dream?" She said deviously with her palms flat on the desk and peering over at Ichigo's crotch area. She let out a raucous laughter when Ichigo nearly fell off the chair while trying to hide his predicament after that last observation of hers. His cheeks instantly turned a shade of red when he saw that not only Byakuya was in the room with them but Hisana was walking in at that very moment as well. He was afraid to look down at her feet in case he would spot a black cat licking itself there, he did not need that on top of everything now.

"I'm glad you got yourself excited…" All the people in the room stood there quietly staring at Byakuya like he had just announced he was Arrancar or something. Ichigo in particular was especially horrified at that statement. WHAT THE FUCK?

Hisana was the only one who's shocked expression turned into one of wickedness. Ichigo subconsciously started backing away from the apparently crazy people until he backed right into the wall behind him, knocking down a framed picture of a flower. Jeez don't tell me that she's into that kinda shit. I don't want to know about that! Although it's kind of hot-… NO. STOP THINKING.

He frantically started looking around the room for any escape routes because he had a bad feeling about this entire situation. First the dream and now this. And now grabbing his sword and slowly pulling it out of its sheathe. Ichigo knew that look in his eyes, he's seen it many time before and it spoke of a painful death awaiting him. He was thoroughly confused now.

"…Because you are about to die at my hand now Kurosaki." And there was the rest of the response he was waiting for. Shit, I knew it. He managed to touch his side with his hand to confirm that Zangetsu was still where it ought to be.

"Look Byakuya it was just a dream, nothing happened. Put that thing away…" He told him confidently once he confirmed that the katana was indeed within arm's reach.

"-Before you get hurt too badly." He smugly added once Byakuya lowered his own katana just the slightest bit. Ichigo just couldn't resist to push Byakuya's buttons sometimes. He cockily gestured with two of his fingers and signaled for him to bring it on.

"Insolent little-" Byakuya hissed back a response, but was interrupted by a sharp whistle coming from the very pregnant woman next to Rukia with two of her fingers in her mouth.

"Go kill each other, but do it outside my house! And Byakuya put that thing away, your pregnant wife is in the room and you should know better than to act like such a child." Ichigo took this as his chance to walk away from the wall he got cornered into. He took one look at Byakuya putting the katana away and thought of just one word: Whipped.

"Look who made it into the doghouse." Ichigo whispered to Rukia when he stood behind the desk close to her again. Hisana and Byakuya seemed to forget that him and Rukia were still there, he was apologizing and she was still nagging.

"Oh you mean yourself? You still haven't answered me Kurosaki, who the hell was this 'princess' person? "

"What do you mean? Of course it was yo-" He never got to finish his sentence because one of his unsuspecting feet got stomped on by a sandaled foot. For someone so small, she could really pack some power behind her hits. Despite the bones in his foot feeling like they had cracked, he tried once again to explain himself. He wanted nothing more than to avoid pissing Rukia off unnecessarily.

"Save it. That's what you get for falling asleep like that! I told you to wait here while I went to inform Nii-sama that we were going out for dinner. That was certainly NOT an invitation for you to sit at his desk and fall asleep on it. And the wrongness of that 'fun' little dream of yours goes without mentioning!"

She interrupted him before he could finish explaining himself and took Hisana's arm and they both walked out the door without another glance at the two male soul reapers they left behind. He could swear he heard the sound of multiple whips cracking in the background somewhere as the two almost identical women strode further away from them.

The room was awkwardly silent for a few seconds, the two captain leveled soul reapers were completely and utterly stupefied. When he couldn't take the silence anymore, he spoke up with the first thing that came to mind.

"Fuck." That one word was the only word Ichigo could use to describe all the thoughts going through his mind right now. There was nothing else he could use to possibly describe how fucked up things turned out.

"My sentiments exactly." Was the quiet and very much unexpected response he got from a tired looking Byakuya Kuchiki. He wondered how long it must have been since he's seen any action, no wonder he was eager to pick a fight. What's the matter with you?! Damnit for the LAST time, stop thinking about those two and sex!

It unsettled him even more when he thought that it was going to be him in that very spot one day. And with Rukia, who was an even bigger firecracker than her more mature older sister. He closed his eyes and started rubbing the spot on the back of his head where Rukia oh so gently woke him from his slumber.

"Wanna fight?" He asked, already knowing what the response was going to be. Byakuya probably had a bigger need to slice something up after what had just happened. He waited a few counts for any kind of response from him, but was only given silence. He wanted to speak up and ask if he had heard him, but instead was interrupted by Byakuya. And of course, instead of answering with the usual and simple yes or no, Byakuya had to answer in typical Byakuya fashion.

"The eastern grounds. And don't keep me waiting."

Of course he makes being nice to him so difficult sometimes... Fine. No mercy then 'Byakuya-boy'. And with that thought he followed Byakuya out the door, the adrenaline already pumping through his veins. He was so ready to throw some slashes at this guy...

Hi.

I have a lot to apologize for, firstly sorry it took me 3 damn months to update this. And sorry for the short ass chapter on top of it. In my defense I was seriously sick all through September and October. The rest was just pure procrastination. No excuses. But I'm going to start publishing chapters that are a wee bit shorter than usual because then I can update more regularly and not let it sit here on FF for 3 months :P

On an irrelevant note, THIS STORY IS GOING TO TURN 1 PRETTY SOON! I was thinking about doing something special to commemorate, but that depends on you guys. Let me know if there's something you guys want me to do to celebrate it and I'll consider it. If not I'll just buy a balloon and a party hat and sit here by myself.

Let me know and until next time,

~Snikee
