Chapter 10
This story is no where near done, so don’t go scurrying off just yet! This story WILL have a happy ending, I promise! Information on the vote is on the bottom.
This is a short chapter that is more of a filler than anything else.
The Crumbling World: Chapter 10
Kenpachi’s POV
While Ichigo slept I collected his horse, moving silently around the sleeping men still at camp. The woods were still pitch black as I picked Ichigo up and set him on Zangetsu, making sure he wasn’t going to fall off and then beginning the walk. He mumbled something in his sleep and I shushed him, smoothing my hand over his brow. Beautiful boy. My beautiful boy. I already regretted what I was about to do.
It took all night to break through the wood line near Kurosaki Castle. I paused and flitted my eyes over the silent walls, looking for sentries. Seeing none, I lifted Ichigo off the horse and held him against me, my chest tightening painfully.
“Ichigo…” I whispered and pressed my lips against his. He stirred awake and kissed back sleepily, his tongue shyly meeting mine and he pushed himself closer to me.
“What’s going on?” He mumbled and rubbed his eyes, blinking as he took in his large castle in the dim light. “Kenpachi?”
“I couldn’t make you stay knowing you were only with me because I forced you to be.” I said, the urge to hurt something that wasn’t Ichigo welling inside of me.
“But, Kenpachi-
I cut him off with another kiss, groping his body desperately. “You will always be mine. Remember that.”
“Kenpachi!” I let go of him and ran before he could say more. “Kenpachi!” His scream followed me as well as the voices of the guards when they heard him. It was better this way. Wasn’t it?
Ichigo’s POV
My dad literally lifted me off my feet in a tight hug when he saw me. I knew I should be happy to be back with my family, but all I felt was numb. I was aware of my mother pulling me into her loving embrace, but it all seemed so distant. My sisters clung to my legs while Rukia and Renji hovered nearby anxiously. I gave them a half-hearted smile and told them I was really sleepy and wanted to rest. They made me promise to tell them everything in the morning and I went to bed.
I didn’t sleep. I stared at the ceiling trying to push away the painful feeling that had developed in my heart. I never thought something like this would hurt so much. I just wanted the pain to stop, but the only way that would happen is if I’m with Kenpachi. I love my family, but I’m in love with a large brute of an outlaw. An outlaw that has both saved me from harm, and has kidnapped me himself. It’s wrong, but it feels so right. And I just want to be with him.
Kenpachi’s POV
Yachiru has been crying non stop since I told her I took our Strawberry back. No amount of sweets or offers to let her use Ikkaku as a chew toy has helped. I wasn’t any better either. I wanted to kill almost everyone in sight to help relieve this weird sensation in my chest. This isn’t good. I was content with my life before Ichigo came along and made me want more, made me want him.
It wasn’t better this way.
Ichigo’s POV
A week had passed since Kenpachi brought me back and I still miss him. The guards were currently trying to find out where Aizen and his men went so they could bring him to justice. I also got the feeling that they were keeping something from me. When I had asked what had happened when I was gone even goat-face wouldn’t look me in the eye. Rukia stuttered a little bit and Renji wouldn’t stop staring at me, his mouth set in a firm line.
“Just fucking tell me already.” I growled to my father, my eyes flashing in warning.
“Don’t curse, Ichigo.” Mother reprimanded and set her hand on my arm.
“I don’t know what you mean daughter!” Isshin yelled with an innocent look that I didn’t believe for one second.
“He’s your son.” Masaki said with a hint of exasperation.
“Tell me what happened!” I yelled. Urahara and Renji who were also in the room exchanged a glance.
“Ah, Kurosaki-sama, you have to tell him sometime.” Urahara commented.
“No we don’t, he’s not that smart, he won’t figure it out.”
“Um, I’m standing right here.”
“I think it will be kind of obvious when he marries-
“What!?” What the hell?! What was going on!?
Mother sighed and gripped me by the shoulder, turning me so I faced her. “We didn’t tell you right away because we thought you had enough on your mind about the kidnapping.” She paused with a frown that turned into a smile as she cupped my cheeks. “While you were away Renji-san asked for your hand in marriage, and we agreed.”
Oh shit.
I looked over at Renji who was a little red but was holding his head up high.
“I know this is kind of sudden.” He stepped towards me hesitantly and laid a hand on my arm. “But I love you and I will do me best to take care of you.”
“But…” I really didn’t know what to say. An arranged marriage…I didn’t love Renji! I love Kenpachi! “Do I get a say in this?” I hissed, my anger boiling in the surface.
“It’s about time you got married.” Mother said soothingly. “Renji loves you, and you will grow to love him as well.”
I jerked out of their grasp and stormed up to my room, slamming the door shut and throwing myself onto the bed as tears welled in my eyes. I hate this, I hate this!!! I want you Kenpachi, where are you?
Third Person POV
“Give him some time.” Masaki told Renji with a smile. “He’s been under a lot of stress lately.”
“That means it is up to us to plan the wedding.” Urahara said with a hint of excitement.
“Yes! Get your cat, we need to plan everything!” Isshin responded and started bouncing up and down and swung Masaki into the air in a big hug.
“Perhaps you should let me handle most of it.” She said with a laugh.
“But…” Isshin and Urahara whined in unison.
“No buts!” The two sulked in the corner while Urahara cuddled his cat for comfort.
“Er…” Renji rubbed the back of his head and Rukia gave him a pat on the shoulder.
“He’ll come around.” She assured him. “You two will be very happy together.”
“Yes.” Renji gave a large grin. “We will.”
Kenpachi’s POV
“Um, Kenpachi?” Yumichika said as he stepped up to me. I had been in a constant state of drunkenness since Ichigo had left, since I had let him go. Fighting hadn’t helped. Drinking hadn’t helped. Killing hadn’t helped.
“What?” I grunted back.
“There’s been some news on Ichigo.” He said hesitantly. I frowned at his uncertain demeanor that wasn’t at all like him.
“He hasn’t gotten kidnapped again has he?” I asked with a heavy scowl. That kid really couldn’t stay out of trouble.
“No. But…”
“What!?” I shouted in aggravation. Yumichika jumped and he looked over to Ikkaku pleadingly.
“The damned brat is getting married.” Ikkaku said plainly.
Ichigo….getting married? It was amazing how fast anger could sober me. I stood up abruptly and they stepped away from me fearfully.
“Ken-chan?” Yachiru asked, her violet eyes staring up at me in concern. “Ichi isn’t really getting married, is he?”
“No, he’s not getting married.” I growled. “You can’t have a marriage if the bride isn’t there for it.”
Dun dun DUN!
LINE
For the vote (which you can still vote for) I need to specify some thing for those that asked: It would be Grimmjow raping Ichigo and I wouldn’t make the story all angsty (because I suck at writing angst). Hope that clears everything up!
The vote thus far (combination from ff.net and aff.net):
A willing to read it: 26
B not willing: 12
Depends on who is raping Ichigo: 5
If A does win (as it looks like so far) I will give lots of warnings so you can skip over it if you want. Rape is a touchy subject and it is understandable if you don’t want to read it.
This is a short chapter that is more of a filler than anything else.
