Immortal Coil

Review Replies- Kai: uke syndrome is the perfect way to describe lil'Ichi. Also, check out the end note of this chapter about the StarrkxIchigo.
Yakumo: Thanks! I really love how much attention Kensei's getting in more recent chapters =D
usmorgan: Ichi's got short shorts!
VioletEyes: I love Starrk, he's so adorable!
Kiteeh: Yes, I'm sorry, I can relate. Honestly I don't really like UlquiOri, but I used it because it was convenient. I promise that it will only be briefly mentioned. I use some of the 'friend' characters over and over because I want to keep it as canon as possible, but I will take your suggestion to heart.
MasterAkira: Having Ichigo be so wanted is something cliche that I use a lot, but I can't help it =D I'm glad you don't mind!
Tiramisu: Thanks, I will!!!

Immortal Coil: Chapter 7

Shinji decided that they shouldn’t all go to Hueco Mundo in case something happened in the real world. It ended up being only Shinji, Hiyori, Kensei and Renji who would be going to rescue Ichigo while the others stayed at their base.

Urahara Kisuke, it turned out, was awaiting their arrival. He too had felt when Ichigo was kidnapped and it seemed that another one of Ichigo’s friends had been kidnapped as well, but Renji cared little for that. He just wanted to get Ichigo back.

He growled in impatience when the blond haired shop keeper offered them something to drink and Urahara cocked his head to the side.

“Ah, I know that you are in a hurry to rescue your friend but we are waiting for a few others to arrive first.”

“I don’t care.”

“No? I think you would if you knew it was someone that you once knew.”

Renji frowned but was saved the opportunity to respond due to the arrival of a large teen that Renji remembered as Chad, one of Ichigo’s friends, and a petite male with glasses that he may or may not have seen before.

“Aren’t you the one who kidnapped Ichigo to begin with?” The petite man asked and pushed his glasses up his nose.

Renji growled deep in his throat and the other man tensed. “Who are you again?”

“Ishida Uryuu. The last Quincy of-”

“Shut up already, I don’t care.”

“You should be more polite to those who are going to help us.” Shinji reprimanded lazily with a yawn.

“Him?” Renji raised a tattooed eyebrow and snorted. “He’s a weakling.”

“Now see here you-”

“Urahara Kisuke!” The door was suddenly slammed open and a dark haired girl rushed inward and skidded to a halt, staring at the red haired man seated at the low table.

Rukia gasped loudly and pointed at Renji. “YOU!”

“ME!”

“YOU!?”

She launched herself at Renji and encased him in a tight hug that immediately deprived him of oxygen. He gasped and Hiyori snorted before prying Rukia off of him.

“We don’t want him to lose more brain cells, do we?”

“Oi!” Renji snapped in offense and then glanced at Rukia who was staring at him. “Long time no see?” He tried sheepishly and Rukia gave a hysterical chuckle and then reached over and punched him in the face.

“What the fuck!?” He held his nose which wasn’t bleeding, but it certainly did sting a lot.

“Who do you think you are, disappearing like that on me?” She shouted and propped her hands on her hips. “I thought you were dead! And then I find you sitting here having tea-”

“I didn’t want any.” Renji grumbled but that seemed to make Rukia even more irritated.

“Why didn’t you let me know where you were!? That you were okay!?”

“Because Aizen was still in Soul Society and I couldn’t risk him trying to kill me again.” Renji frowned and felt slightly awkward as Rukia continued to stare at him.

“You-you…” She trailed off and Renji frowned.

“I?” He prompted.

“You’ve matured!” She said in awe and Renji glared at her in offense.

“You say that like I wasn’t mature before!”

“Well, not as much as I would have hoped…” She mused to herself and then finally looked around at the other occupants of the room. “Are we all going to rescue Orihime and Ichigo?”

“We’re going to rescue Ichigo.” Shinji said with a yawn and indicated Renji, Kensei, Hiyori and himself. “If this Orihime chick happens to get rescued along the way, so be it.”

“Who are they?” Rukia whispered to Renji.

“Vizards.”

“Vizards?” She eyed them and frowned. “Aren’t they…dangerous?”

“I’m a vizard too.”

Renji couldn’t help but feel a small amount of glee in the way Rukia’s eyes widened as she stared at Renji.

“So are we going now or what?” Renji asked Urahara. He was impatient to be there already. Who knew what Ichigo was going through?

…

“I’m not a fucking dress up doll!” Ichigo shouted as the female arrancars who were hovering over him began to do his hair.

“Shut up and take it like a man.” Mila-Rose said and tossed her own wavy hair.

Harribel’s Fraccion were bitches. They didn’t even coo over how ‘cute’ Ichigo was, they just used him because they couldn’t find anybody else to mess with.

“When I get my sword back-”

“Yeah, what? What are you going to do?” Apache who was holding his arms down asked.

Ichigo glared at them. “I’m going to fucking kick your asses, that’s what!”

“Ooh, I’m scared.” She tugged on his hair harder then necessary and Ichigo let out a yelp of pain. “Now hold still. Your hair is a little short but I think this will work…Hand me the hair band, would you?” She held out her hand and Sun-Sun who was sitting on Ichigo’s legs tossed it over to her.

“You bitch!!!”

“Oh yeah, you love it, you little cock slut.” Apache yanked on his arms and he swore.

“What did you call me!?”

“What the fuck are yah whores doing to him?”

Nnoitra had apparently decided to show up finally, with Tesla trailing in his wake.

“Go fuck yourself, number 5.”

A vein on Nnoitra’s head twitched. “Listen, yah little cunts, just because your mistress is a higher number than me…doesn’t mean I won’t fucking waste yah right now!”

“Ooh, I’d like to see you try, pussy!”

“Why you-”

Tesla sighed at their antics and walked over to calmly extract Ichigo from the three. He watched in amusement as Ichigo yanked out the hair clips and bands and threw them to the side.

Nnoitra finally drew away from the three Fraccion who continued to yell and heckle him.

“They’re all just lesbian sluts yah know.” Nnoitra said to Tesla who said nothing in either agreement or disagreement.

Ichigo ignored his venomous words like always. “Can we get something to eat? I’m starving.”

“Tch, so am I.” Nnoitra glanced at Tesla who was looking at Ichigo with the same sort of admiration usually aimed at him. He narrowed his eyes and frowned deeply.

“Tesla, got get us something to eat already.”

“Yes, Nnoitra-sama.” Tesla was unfazed by the rude demand and bowed before leaving to do as Nnoitra commanded.

Ichigo watched him go with a slight scowl. As much as he didn’t like being in Hueco Mundo most of the time, he didn’t completely hate all of the arrancars and Tesla happened to be one that he pitied sometimes.

Nnoitra picked up on it right away and tapped Ichigo under his chin hard enough for his teeth to snap together painfully.

“That look doesn’t suit yah at all, Pet.”

“Don’t call me that.” Ichigo grumbled to himself and ran his tongue over the slight hurt.

“Whatever. Let’s go before Grimmjow decides to show his ugly mug.”

“Why is Tesla so loyal to someone like you?” Ichigo asked curiously as he jogged to keep up with Nnoitra’s long strides.

“Because I’m fucking powerful, that’s why!” Nnoitra snarled as though insulted Ichigo would think anything different.

Ichigo rolled his eyes but wasn’t stupid enough to comment on that. “But is that the only reason?”

“That punk-ass bitch has always done that since I snagged him and a few others to bring them to Aizen-sama. He was the only one to survive that batch and he just started following me around.”

Nnoitra glanced at Ichigo from the corner of his eye but quickly turned his head back when Ichigo looked at him.

“You would think he would know better by now.” Ichigo mused and chuckled when Nnoitra’s anger began to rise.

“What, yah don’t think I’m good enough to have Fraccion!?”

“It’s not about your power, more like your pissy attitude.” Ichigo said and slipped inside Nnoitra’s rooms where he usually ate.

“Yah are the one with the pissy attitude.” Nnoitra snarled and shoved Ichigo with one hand, sending him luckily into the couch.

Ichigo’s eyes flared and he stood up and moved to hit Nnoitra in the stomach but Nnoitra grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. He slammed Ichigo against the wall and pressed hard up against him to keep him still.

“Yah are making it really hard to keep my promise to Aizen not to hurt yah.”

“Nnoitra-sa…ma…” Tesla stared at the position Nnoitra and Ichigo were in and nearly dropped the tray of food he had in his hands. “I’m sorry for interrupting Nnoitra-sama.”

His face was red as he gave a short bow and set the food on the table before making a hasty retreat.

“…” Nnoitra and Ichigo stared at Tesla for a second in confusion before they both realized what he meant.

“It’s not like that!!!” Nnoitra yelled after Tesla frantically and leaped away from Ichigo like he had burned him.

Ichigo didn’t particularly like that Tesla thought he and Nnoitra were doing things, but his amusement over Nnoitra’s disgruntlement.

“What’s wrong, Nnoitra, ashamed?” He reached a hand up and ran his finger over Nnoitra’s jaw line and had to stifle a snort when Nnoitra turned red immediately.

Tesla shook his head. “I don’t care if you and Kurosaki are-”

“I said it’s not like that!”

Nnoitra tried to reaffirm his sexuality but a mischievous Ichigo who hadn’t been able to have much fun in Hueco Mundo snuck up beside Nnoitra and grabbed his arm.

“See, he doesn’t care, Nnoitra.”

“Yah fucking bitch!”

Nnoitra shook Ichigo off and sat in his chair to sulk while he ate the food Tesla brought in. Ichigo sighed dramatically and gave Tesla a look.

“He’s such a handful to look after.”

“Go fuck yourself!” Nnoitra said around a mouthful of food.

“See what I mean?”

Ichigo sat down to eat as well while Tesla hesitantly left, wondering if Nnoitra was just in denial or if Ichigo was messing with Nnoitra. If it was the latter then Ichigo should be prepared for the consequences of poking a sleeping beast.

LINE

So my mom got this Border collie puppy and named her Tesla after Nikola Tesla who was an electrical inventor… And it kind of cracks me up because Tesla follows Nnoitra around like a puppy XD In case anyone was wondering, I didn’t even help pick out the name. Its pure coincidence.

And, gasp! Ichigo and Nnoitra are acting almost friendly!?

IMPORTANT!!! I have been getting a lot of requests to make this a StarkxIchigo, is there anyone interested in an alternate version that ends up being StarkxIchigo? I would rewrite the beginning a little and change the ending completely.
