Demon's Blood

"Byakuya." The vampire looked around him to see the orange haired demon sitting on a familiar bed.

"A month has gone by since I've seen this room." Byakuya said smiling, he moved to step closer to the demon and was stopped. "Ichigo?"

"I'm sorry Byakuya, but I can't... Not yet." Ichigo looked up with eyes that had darkened with sadness. "The messanger I sent to Grimmjow had returned with a letter, Grimmjow had said you attacked Lord Ichimaru."

"Why does it matter?" Byakuya asked uncertainly.

"Byakuya, there is no reason to get violent, I only needed time to accept that you saw me as more than just a breeding bitch!" Ichigo bit the words out.

"I have never seen you as such!" Byakuya shouted still trying to get closer. "Please Ichigo, I have to touch you."

"I'm sorry..."

"Stop saying that! Are you scared that I'll rape you?!"

"No! Never! I would never be afraid of you Byakuya, it's me. I scared of what I might do if I let you touch me, you may shatter my resolve and bring me crawling back! I won't crawl back! I want to be able to come back of my own accord! Without anyone pressuring me about being the prince of the demons, without having to worry..."

"Worry about what Ichigo?" The vampire tilted his head questioningly.

"Not yet, I will tell you everything when we meet up again." Byakuya growled and moved forward again, feeling no resistance he continued slowly until he stood in front of the demon. Ichigo was looking up at him, a small smile pulling into place. "Will you just hold me?" There was a sadness in the demon's eyes, the vampire just wanted to wipe the sadness away, smiling he nodded and wrapped his arms around the demon. They fell back onto the bed, just wrapped up in each other's arms, Ichigo snuggled up close to Byakuya. Finding comfort for the first time in a month, he was with the one he loved, but that was only so long as he was asleep.

"What are you thinking about?" Byakuya asked burying his face in wild orange hair, he heard and felt the puff of air from the deep sigh.

"What I can tell you now and what can wait until later..." Ichigo muttered. "Why aren't you in the mortal death?" Ichigo felt the vampire shrug.

"I am not suseptible to the sleep of my people." Byakuya merely stated then smiled. "What about you? Why are you sleeping in the middle of the day?"

"I've been travelling all night."

"Where are you? Let me come get you myself..."

"No, I'm close, almost home. There's no reason for you to come to me." He sighed again. "There is someone close to me, I have to wake up now." Ichigo sat up, forcing the vampire to release him, Ichigo leaned back down and gave Byakuya a gentle kiss.

"Ichigo?" The demon prince sat up and looked around his room, the drapes had been pulled making it dark as night. His senses flared, he smiled when he realized who the person was.

"Grimmjow, how did you get in here?"

"You're seriously asking me that?" Ichigo stopped and thought for a minute before mentally slapping himself in the forehead.

"Window." They said simultaneously, then burst into quiet laughter.

"I knew I was forgetting something when I went to sleep this morning." Standing up from the bed Ichigo stretched until he felt his back pop, then fell back against the bed again.

"You always did forget to lock the window, a bad habit that I have yet to break you of, but if you really do become Byakuya's mate then maybe I won't have to." Grimmjow paused and tilted his head. "Someone's outside." He mouthed and saw the prince nod then reach over for the potion he had set next to the dream charm, drinking it he sat for the few seconds it took the transformation to take effect.

"Miss Karin, are you awake?" A woman asked from the other side of the door.

"Yes." Ichigo answered when he was sure his voice had changed.

"May I come in?"

"One moment." Ichigo panicked for a moment looking at Grimmjow, the teal-haired demon moved towards a closet and closed the door once he was inside. Looking around himself, Ichigo saw a robe hanging off the back of the vanity chair, getting up he slipped it on. He moved towards the door and unlocked it, just as he finished tying the lapels of the robe together Cirruci Thunderwitch walked in as though she owned the place. "Lady Thunderwitch? How can I be of service?"

"Can I ask you something in complete secret? Without you saying anything to anyone?" Ichigo flashed a quick look towards the closet, then he smiled and nodded. "Do you enjoy working for Harribel?"

"Of course I do, why do you ask?"

"Is that the truth?"

"..."

"Tell me the truth, do you enjoy working for Harribel?"

"No I don't."

"Would you like to be part of the war? We're going to rise against the vampires! In the middle of the day we're going to drag them out into the sun and watch as they burst into flame!"

"I don't know... Why would you want to do something like this?"

"I don't much care for the vampires and I hear that you had a thing for Lord Madarame, if we destroy the vampires you could have him!" She paused and tilted her head listening. "I have to go, let me know what you decide." She smiled and left the room, Ichigo followed, locking the door he turned towards Grimmjow.

"What's been going on?"

"There are demons and vampires who are willing to start a war, they don't care who gets hurt, I heard from Nnoitra that they're rounding up the vampires who think this. Without you there Ichigo, we can't do too much about the demon rebels."

"I guess that means I'm coming back sooner than I had thought I would... Or rather sooner than I had wanted to..." Grabbing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt Ichigo dressed quickly, he turned back to the charm on the bedside table. Looking at Grimmjow again he nodded, the older demon stepped out onto the balcony and moved towards where his room was. Placing a hand to his brow Ichigo looked up at the sky, it was cloudless day. Turning around he exited his room and knocked at Rangiku and Harribel's door, he was shocked when Harribel herself opened the door.

"When did you get strong enough to stay awake during the daylight hours Tia?" The two turned to see Byakuya standing a few feet past Ikkaku and Yumichika's door.

"Sometime ago, if you will excuse me Lord Kuchiki, I think Karin has something she wishes to speak to me about in private." Ichigo nodded and avoided looking at Byakuya, he did not want to see the man in the waking world. After the door was shut Ichigo sighed in relief, he looked at Harribel who had taken a seat on the edge of the bed. "What can I do for you Karin?"

"I would like to leave your service." Ichigo said sadly.

"Why would you ever do such a thing?"

"I need to return," Ichigo paused.

"This has more meaning than returning to the north, you wish to return to the life you left behind?"

"Yes, they need me, I didn't realize how much until I was told what was going on."

"Then you are granted your freedom but we will miss Karin. Head back north, then take the potion and work your way back here?"

"That's the plan." Ichigo said then bowed as he turned and left the room. Returning to his room, he sighed as he began packing the few things he had brought with him, he looked at his wrist then smiled at the charm. He would finally be able to take it off and leave it off if he wanted, he doubted he would leave it off, if the vampire lord became to irritating Ichigo would just have to cut him off. He smiled at the thought as he packed the last of his few meagre belongs, he exited his room and walked into the ample bosom -1- of Rangiku.

"I hear you're leaving." She said raising a brow, at Ichigo's nod she all but shrieked in indignation. "And you weren't going to say good-bye to me!"

"I'm sorry Lad-"

"Stop right there young lady!" Rangiku reprimanded. "I have asked you repeatedly to call me Rangiku!"

"I am sorry Rangiku, I was hoping to slip away unnoticed." Ichigo looked at the floor in embarrassement, when he risked a glance at the woman he felt his heart break at the tears in her eyes.

"You weren't gonna say anything to me?" Ichigo could hear the tears in Rangiku's voice, when the woman dropped down to the ground and started crying freely Ichigo knelt down and wrapped thin arms around her.

"I'm sorry Rangiku, it's just that when I went to talk to Lady Harribel you were asleep and I didn't want to disturb you." Ichigo muttered into her hair, then looked up at Ikkaku who had come to find out who was making so much noise.

"What's going on?" He asked as he moved closer.

"I hadn't wanted to disturb Lady Matsumoto and was going to leave without saying anything to her, but I didn't figure it would upset her this much..." Ichigo explained then reached and grabbed her shoulders and slid her other arm under her legs. "Would you mind opening her door for me? It's three doors down from here." He lifted her with some slight difficulty, then carried her after Ikkaku.

"Would you like me to carry her?" Ichigo shook his head then gave a slight huff, before they reached the door, he concentrated on not hitting her head on the door frame.

"Thank you Lord Madarame, if you could leave us." Harribel said from her place at the vanity. "What happened?" She asked as Ikkaku shut the door and left them in peace.

"She's upset that I was going to leave without saying good-bye."

"Ran-ran, hunny, Karin hadn't wanted to disturb you. She also wanted to leave without anyone noticing until later at least, the Demon Prince is coming back." Harribel said quietly, they both looked at Rangiku as her eyes widened, she looked at Ichigo for confirmation.

"That's right." Ichigo said smiling.

"'Bout damn time, I was thinking there was gonna be a full out war before he returned!"

"Yea, now may I leave Rangiku?" Ichigo asked, the woman held her arms out and Ichigo smiled as he hugged her.

"Take care of yourself." She whispered. "Byakuya doesn't deserve you." He smiled into her hair.

"I will and I'll tell him you said so." He muttered before she let him go, he left the room and saw that he had dropped his backpack, his blood froze when he saw that Ikkaku had found it. "What the hell?!"

"What's all of this?" He asked looking at Ichigo, he held the charm and one of the potions, Grimmjow appeared behind his friend and grabbed his shoulder.

"It's rude to go through another's belongings." He stated.

"I don't give a damn! This is a shifting potion, who the hell are you?" Ichigo looked at Grimmjow for help, he saw his friend sigh then shrug.

"Ikkaku, we've been asked by Lady Harribel to escort Miss Karin to the northern border." Grimmjow leaned in and just barely whispered. "I'll explain on the way." He pulled away and smiled. "Shall we go? We'll be back long before Yumichika wakes up and baby Yachiru is well taken care of thanks to Lady Unohana, who sent for Nemu." Ichigo walked up and took both dream charm and potion from Ikkaku then began walking towards the entrance of the expanse manor, Byakuya stopped them in the last hallway before the entryway.

"Thank you for coming Miss Shiba, I wish you a safe trip home." Ichigo felt his heart begin racing and knew that the three men could hear it.

"Thank you Lord Kuchiki, I hope you find the Demon Prince." Ichigo said, knowing that it was common knowledge that the lord was looking for the prince.

"Thank you, please do not hesitate to ask for help should you need it." The vampire gave a bow before heading back upstairs towards his rooms, Ichigo watched him go and out of the corner of his eye he saw Grimmjow holding back laughter. Ichigo glared, growled and stepped on Grimmjow's foot before heading towards the door, the teal-haired demon hurrying forward to open the door still holding back his laughter but now limping.

"So... Do I want to know why Grimmjow's laughing?" Ikkaku asked after they had walked a good ten minutes, Grimmjow still chuckling softly.

"I don't know, what do you think Karin?" Ikkaku looked from one to the other.

"So..." Ichigo paused then sighed. "Ikkaku-"

"When are you close enough to call me by my first name?"

"Ikkaku, it's Ichigo." Grimmjow said, then smiled.

"This isn't Ichigo..." Ikkaku said looking at the woman walking next to him.

"Yea it is." Grimmjow smiled.

"No it isn't."

"Yea, Ikkaku... I'm Ichigo."

"Prove it."

"How?" Ikkaku paused and started thinking, then he smiled.

"How did I meet Yumichika?"

"After a meeting between the Demons and Vampires." Ichigo said with a smile. "Grimm had been hurt that day and we had missed the actual meeting but we had gotten there in time to mingle among the elders." Grimmjow raised a brow and his smile got even wider. "If I recall correctly, he had called out to you, calling you... What was it? 'Houzukimaru.' You looked shocked and called him 'Ruri'iro'. Grimm got pissed that you had ignored his question and then we both left you two alone." They both looked at Ikkaku and saw his shocked expression, a moment before Ikkaku grabbed the small demon and hugged him tightly.
