Chapter 8
Chapter 8
It wasn’t a big deal, not really. So what if there was the possibility of him not winning, it wasn’t a test to see if he could win, it was a test to see how much he had improved. Finals were over, he would be moving out and he was officially a Shinigami, there was nothing to worry about. Other than, trying to keep Shirosaki’s perverted hands off of him, which surprisingly, Kenpachi was a big help with. Ichigo tried not to dwell on that, though. On what that happy feeling in his chest was when Kenpachi was near.
Kenpachi forced Ichigo to ride with him on his bike while Shirosaki drove his own car to Seireitei with Yachiru. He was very amused that even after all of the time spent on the bike, Ichigo still clutched him tightly with his head buried against his back. It was comforting to have someone looking to him for protection, even if it was against something as mundane as wind.
Kenpachi was starting to get very confused about the emotions he was experiencing around Kurosaki. Did he think of the strawberry as a friend? He definitely liked spending time with him, but it seemed like there was more to it. Kenpachi had never been in a relationship and he didn’t have anything against homosexuals, but he had never pictured himself as being attracted to males.
But watching as Ichigo walked in front of him in those tight clothes that he likes to wear, he could see the soft flex of his ass as he walked into the castle and it made him want to touch it…anything to feel that muscle underneath his hand. Just out of curiosity to see what it would feel like to grab it and squeeze it. He wondered how Ichigo would respond if he did that. Would he yell and try to punch him or would he moan and arch into the touch…
Thinking about it sent a delicious shiver down his spine and he had to concentrate on not taking advantage of Ichigo. Kenpachi wished that there was someone that could just tell him what his feelings for the boy were so he didn’t have this uncertainty. Right now he was certain that he didn’t want Shirosaki to get a chance at Ichigo, but that didn’t mean he necessarily wanted a chance either…
They walked inside and Ichigo was instantly tackled to the ground by Rukia. Kenpachi watched as Rukia gave him a noogie and her older brother watched impassively. It gave him an odd feeling in his chest to watch Ichigo smile at the girl. He brushed it off, though. If those two were going to hook up they would have done so long ago.
The elder Kuchiki sibling made a coughing noise underneath his breath and Rukia finally released Ichigo and helped him up.
“Oi, Ichigo, you ready?” Rukia said as they walked into the meeting hall.
“Yeah, course I am. Do you know who it is yet?”
“Yeah…but remember, you don’t need to win. The point is just to show how far you have come.” Ichigo looked a little worried with that answered and opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Byakuya starting the meeting.
He droned on with the usual meeting procedure bull shit and nearly put Ichigo to sleep, but something he said snapped him awake.
“The new threat is a particularly dangerous one because the opponent generally appears to be just another spirit. For some reason there is a new breed of hollows that look like spirits but have the powers of hollows…and the desire to harm humans and other spirits. They are Arrancars. So far they are not great in number, but they are still very dangerous. From what the other branches of the Shinigami have told me they go for beings of high spiritual energy, so it is very likely that they will show up in Karakura. We don’t know much about them, so try and fight them as you would any other hollow.” Ichigo turned this new information over in his mind as Byakuya finished up the meeting. His eyes snapped to Byakuya, however when he said his name.”
“And Kurosaki please stay after.” Fuck! What name did he say? Who was he going to fight? An odd feeling came over him and it took Ichigo to realize that it wasn’t nerves or anxiety, but excitement. He was excited to have a serious fight. Gods, was Kenpachi rubbing off on him?
Wait a minute.
He didn’t mean it like that.
Ichigo guessed that Shirosaki was also passing on some traits to him, as well. He would never have caught the second meaning in his thoughts before he met Shirosaki. Anyways, he strode to the front and grinned at Byakuya. Everybody else had left other than Byakuya, Rukia, Kenpachi, Yachiru, Shirosaki and himself. So…who was he fighting?
Byakuya stepped forward. “We will be fighting with our swords only. Although they will be reinforced with our reiatsu but we will not use our powers in this fight except for that.” He eyed Ichigo. Ah, so that was who he was fighting. “I am eager to see how you have progressed.”
He swept out of the room, leaving them to follow. Kenpachi batted away Shirosaki’s hand from Ichigo before he noticed and put his own arm around Ichigo and leaned heavily into him. “You get to fight the prat! Lucky yooouu… I’d love to fight him myself, but I have been strictly forbidden against it.” Kenpachi pouted and Ichigo grinned at him.
“Yeah, lucky me. Maybe I can pay him back for all the time he tore me up with those fucking petals of his.” Kenpachi snorted and leaned off of Ichigo long enough so they could walk through the doors outside. Ichigo stretched as he waited for Byakuya to return with his sword. Kenpachi and Shirosaki’s eyes both fixed onto Ichigo’s ass when he bent over. Rukia saw this and tried to smother the giggle that came out of her mouth. She knew about Shirosaki, but Kenpachi!? That was priceless. She wondered if Ichigo knew that, over even if Kenpachi himself knew.
Kenpachi glared at Shirosaki and walked behind Ichigo and rested his elbows on Ichigo’s shoulders and propped his chin on Ichigo’s orange head. “You excited, Strawberry?” Ichigo tried to squirm away from Kenpachi and lifted his hands to push the elbows off but Kenpachi caught his wrists with one of his hands and fought not to nuzzle into that surprisingly soft hair. And instead continued to rest his chin on it. It almost appeared as though he was embracing Ichigo from behind now, but he ignored the implication and Ichigo didn’t seem to mind after his initial struggle.
“Yeah, can’t wait.”
Byakuya came out into the fighting area and gave Kenpachi and Ichigo a funny look. Shirosaki was glowering at the pair with jealousy and Rukia sniggered. They backed off so they wouldn’t get in their way leaving Ichigo and Byakuya in the center. There was a moment where both of them stood in stance with neither of them moving before they both darted at each other and clashed.
Byakuya’s eyes widened at Ichigo’s ability to stop his attack so easily as well as the power thrumming through his sword. The broke apart and came at each other again. Byakuya took note of how much faster Ichigo had gotten- for a split second he felt Ichigo’s blade held against his throat before Ichigo retreated with a smirk. His eyes narrowed. He had underestimated Kurosaki’s ability and if he had been a real enemy, Byakuya would be dead now.
He started to take it seriously. There movement became nothing more than a blur to the normal eye, but Kenpachi and Shirosaki managed to keep up with it. They both grinned as the recognized some of the moves that Ichigo used. The fighting became more intense as violent as both of them started to take less consideration of the possibility that their actions may hurt the other.
Byakuya managed to slash Ichigo’s shoulder slightly and Ichigo winced before turning on one of his heals, risking being off balance and slammed the hilt of his sword into Byakuya’s knuckles making him drop the sword. The few spectators cheered on the side line and Ichigo fought not to give a smug grin to Byakuya. It would probably come around to bite him in the ass if he did. In stead he bowed at the waist, placing his forehead against his sword hilt as Byakuya did the same.
Shirosaki immediately launched at him and grabbed at his waist as Ichigo walked over to them. Kenpachi promptly hit him on the head with his fist and Shirosaki let go of Ichigo to rub the spot. Yachiru leaped at Ichigo and snuggled her head into Ichigo’s shoulder comfortably.
“Come on, Strawberry. I’ll treat you to some dinner.” Ichigo ignored the nickname and smiled at Kenpachi.
“Thanks, can Rukia come?” He glanced over at Rukia who was fawning over her brother, making sure none of his knuckles were broken. She waved at him to go on without her absent mindedly and returned her attention to Byakuya.
“Guess not.” Ichigo said with a grin and allowed Kenpachi to use his shoulder to prop himself up. “I probably have to change first, though. I’m covered in blood.” He raised his arm slightly and examined his already healing scratch as well as a few others. Kenpachi happily observed that most were already completely closed and that only faint amounts of blood remained.
“Let’s go.”
Shirosaki drove Yachiru back to their house and Kenpachi yet again forced Ichigo to ride with him, guilt tripping him slightly that if Kenpachi is going to take him out to eat, the least he could do was ride with him. Ichigo had long since given up questioning why Kenpachi liked Ichigo riding with him on his bike, and he really didn’t dislike it as much as he pretended that he did.
Ichigo pulled a face as he slid the jacket over his bloody shirt. He would definitely be throwing this in the washer immediately. Out, damned spot! Not exactly as Shakespeare intended, but it comes down to the same principle.
Kenpachi was very amused with Ichigo’s visible grimace. He eyed Ichigo up and down with consideration. He was going to look so adorable with that jacket! Ichigo’s birthday was coming up on July 7th and Kenpachi planned on giving the jacket to him then. Ichigo didn’t know that Kenpachi knew when his birthday was. Kenpachi smirked, he didn’t know what Ichigo was planning on doing with his friends and family, but Kenpachi planned on having Ichigo spend some of that day with him.
With a smile he drove back to their house with Ichigo clinging tightly to him as he intentionally sped recklessly. Eh, the quicker they get back, the quicker they could go get something to eat. Ichigo pressed up against him was just a bonus. Just because he liked feeling someone rely on him, of course. The tingly feeling that raced through his veins had nothing to do with it. Nothing at all.
