Wrong Attraction

The visit went rather well, minus the beating Byakuya�s pride had taken at being successfully bitten by a mere hollow cub. The cubs eventually got hungry and the Shinigami watched in various states of shock and interest as the cubs fed before darting off to play on their improvised jungle gym. One could almost see the love blossom further in Rukia and Jushiro�s eyes as the cubs played excitedly, tumbling about and just being their adorable selves.

Szayel had remained relatively silent during the evening, almost seeming to doze contently once it was established the Shinigami posed no threat to them. Yylfordt emerged at one point, pausing briefly to wearily accept introductions before heading to the kitchen to bring something back for Tesra to eat. Karin made sure her eyes were on the cubs since her father had made it very clear what he thought about his daughters watching hollows feed or staring at corpses (as if she hadn�t already seen her share of hollow corpses before but her father didn�t need to know about that).

Unfortunately it was a school night and that meant those still in school needed to get some sleep. Orihime volunteered to escort Karin home, the girls sharing hugs with Rukia and promises to keep in touch before the two human woman assured a sleepy Szayel that they would stop by tomorrow afternoon after school so he could get something resembling rest.

With it getting late and Ichigo also needing to go to school the next day he politely informed his guest it was time to leave. Jushiro thanked him for the hospitality and lead the way out of the warehouse with an invite from Ichigo to visit again.

By the time Ichigo was done escorting their guests out, set dates and times for another visit and returned to the main den, Szayel was already curled up in the large nest and was sleeping soundly with Hijastro curled up contently beside him. Ichigo had noticed the pink haired Arrancar was exhausted, but he hadn�t realized just how exhausted.

�Did he at least eat?� Ichigo asked concerned as he entered the den he shared with his own mate and child.

�Yeah, I managed to get him to get something down his throat while you escorted your friends out,� Grimmjow answered, sitting in the middle of the nest and brushing Cachorro�s fur out, the cub yawning sleepily and contently as he lay in the Arrancar�s lap.

�Good,� Ichigo yawned as he stripped and crawled into the nest next to his family. �He could take one of the side dens, I wonder why he chooses to remain in the main one?� Ichigo questioned curiously.

Grimmjow answered with a shrug, permitting Cachorro to squirm out of his lap to curl up beside his Sire, meowing softly for attention. Ichigo let out a soft sigh of content and rubbed his son between the ears.

�I can�t believe you bit Byakuya,� he admonished with a soft smirk of amusement.

�Was a damn good bite too,� Grimmjow smirked in pleasure, laying down himself and giving Cachorro a vigorous pat as well.

It didn�t take long for the family to settle down to sleep. It had been a long day for all around with the promise of another long day tomorrow.

Grimmjow woke with a start, glancing around in confusion to try and determine what had jerked him awake. He felt soft fur tickle his chest as one of the cubs shifted into a more comfortable position, but otherwise everything seemed normal and secure. There was no reason he should have�

Wait!

One of the cubs? As in there was now more than one in the nest with them?

Sure enough a second glance confirmed that Hijastro was curled up along side him and shifted as he did, making herself more comfortable. She let out a yawn and wiggled a bit more to get closer to her brother and his body heat before drifting off into peaceful slumber again. The sound of her soft purring reached his ears briefly before a deep sleep pulled her completely down.

While it wasn�t unusual for Hijastro to curl up with them (as far as she understood Ichigo was her Sire and Cachorro her brother) it was very odd for her to join them in the middle of the night when she had already bedded down with Szayel. What the heck had prompted her to join them? Szayel was very protective of his daughter and it was pretty damn unlikely he would let her out of sight after the stress of having Shinigami invade their den and touch their offspring; even if everything had gone smoothly and the cubs seemed to like most of them.

Before he could ponder on the mystery much further, he transferred his frown to Ichigo as he felt the hybrids reiatsu flutter strangely for a minute. It wasn�t that odd, the teen had no control what so ever over it, but compounded with Hijastro�s strange appearance in their nest and his own innate instincts to detect trouble, he felt his hackles rise.

Untangling himself from the pillows and blankets he moved towards the curtain that separated their den from the main room and looked over towards the large nest Hijastro should have been curled in. Szayel was clearly awake and moving slowly, wincing in pain as he stood up and stumbled a bit before catching his balance and moving towards the exit. He was walking with a very familiar limp and if that wasn�t damning enough his thighs glistened wetly in the dim light.

�What the fuck?� he silently questioned confused.

Without a single moment of hesitation he followed Szayel into the bathroom, stopping at the door to watch. Szayel paused to look at himself in the mirror before turning sadly away and stepping towards one of the showers, his body tightening briefly in pain as he did so.

With the brighter bathroom light Grimmjow could clearly see the white and red liquid running down Szayel�s legs, as well as a dusting of fresh bite and claw marks that would no doubt heal by morning but were probably stinging pretty bad right now. The traces were slowly starting to fade, but he could feel H�tsu�s disgusting reiatsu all over the Natural Born Beta.

It shouldn�t have been any of his business. He shouldn�t have giving a flying fuck about what H�tsu and Szayel did, but he did. He cursed Kurosaki to the nine hells and back again for making him begin to worry about others, for bringing about these maternal instincts thanks to their mating and offspring.

�How long has this shit been going on?� Grimmjow demanded in very displeased growl.

Szayel whipped around to face him so damn fast he was honestly surprised the former Espada didn�t get whiplash, but what shocked him the most was the look of pure terror that crossed Szayel�s face as they stared at each other.

Szayel opened and closed his mouth several times, clearly trying to speak but being unable to voice anything for several seconds, be it out of shock or fear it was hard to say.

�Grimmjow? What are you doing up?� he managed to ask nervously.

�Your daughter woke me up crawling into my nest, and don�t change the subject. How long has this shit been going on?� he demanded again, taking several steps into the bathroom.

Szayel backed up a bit until his back hit the shower wall, his fear practically radiating off of him in waves and he unconsciously bared his throat, averted his eyes and took a submissive posture expected of an Omega facing a furious superior.

The posture pleased him and soothed his temper, but only slightly. It wasn�t Szayel he was necessarily pissed at.

�I don�t know��

�Bull shit,� Grimmjow interrupted before Szayel could finish making any form of denial statement. �How long?� he demanded again.

The room remained silent for a minute before Szayel finally answered in a strained whisper.

�Since we moved here from Kisuke�s,� he answered weakly.

Now that took him by surprise. They had been here for a few weeks already and H�tsu had been out and about all that time without anyone the wiser! The mere thought of it sent a chill up Grimmjow�s spine as he recalled being pinned to Ichigo�s couch with violent golden eyes boring into his own shortly after his own mating. He went through several set�s of emotion; from fear to panic to rage. He ended on rage.

He turned about and started to march out of the bathroom, intent to deal with this problem here and now.

�Grimmjow wait, he�ll kill her!� Szayel cried out fearfully as he leaped forward and grabbed him by the arm to prevent his leaving. �He said if I let anyone find out what was going on he wouldn�t hesitate to kill her. Please don�t say anything, I couldn�t bear loosing her,� he begged with a strangled sob. �Not another cub, not after so many failures,� he added, damn near hiccupping.

Grimmjow felt a bolt of ice race up his spine. That any Sire could so easily threaten to kill their own offspring! This shit was stopping now. He�d had enough of H�tsu from the first time they had met and now the bastard had truly crossed the line. It was time the creature was put in his place.

�Do you honestly think any of us would permit that to happen?� he questioned sharply. �Especially Ichigo. The fool would sacrifice his own life for pretty much anything, let alone any of the cubs,� he pointed out as he jerked his arm free and marched back to their den.

Szayel stared after him stunned before shaking it off and chassed after him. Fear was practically radiating off of Szayel in waves as the scientist babbled incoherently to try and stop him. He completely ignored it and grabbed Szayel�s wrist, before he could attempt to run once they reached the entrance to the den he shared with Ichigo, and dragged him in forcefully against his will.

�Oi, wake up Kurosaki,� Grimmjow snarled.

Ichigo jerked awake with a start, causing the cubs to meow softly in complaint. Szayel stiffened in his grip and ceased all attempts at trying to escape now that the pack Alpha was coherent.

�Grimmjow? Szayel? What�s wrong?� Ichigo demanded groggily, concern evident in his voice.

�This is what,� Grimmjow growled and forced Szayel to turn around so Ichigo could see the damage, ignoring how stiff Szayel suddenly went in his arms and holding him still despite the weak resistance.

It took a moment for the teen to register what it was Grimmjow wanted him to look at, but when the Pack Alpha finally figured it out both former Espada nearly stumbled under the wave of enraged pressure that skyrocketed out of Ichigo. The cubs meowed loudly in protest at the crushing force before Ichigo managed to reign it back in.

The wave of anger was almost on par to the anger he had felt Ichigo give off when Kurotsuchi had threatened their cub and his cronies had nearly beaten Szayel to death. Despite the anger Grimmjow felt and the shiver of fear that raced up his spine as Ichigo�s reiatsu washed over them, he also felt his blood stir towards lust as he recalled that this powerful creature was his mate, had chosen him to bear their offspring and, so help him, would one day bear his.

�How long?� Ichigo demanded sharply.

Szayel remained silent so Grimmjow gave him a firm but short shake, pulling a whimper out of his prisoner and making it clear he had better answer.

�Since we got here,� Szayel answered weakly.

�Why didn�t you say anything?� Ichigo questioned sharply.

�He said�� Szayel shivered and clamped his mouth shut. Grimmjow gave him another firm shake and growled lowly under his own breath in warning, causing Szayel to cringe and somehow shrink into himself even more. �He said he would kill Hijastro if I didn�t let him have me or if I said anything,� Szayel finally forced his answer out in a rush of barely understandable words and ended in a strangled sob.

The room was silent for a moment and Szayel�s tear filled, fearful eyes remained fixed on his daughter, as if terrified she would suddenly just disappear from before them.

�Watch the cubs,� Ichigo ordered in a cold voice neither Arrancar had ever heard him use before as he untangled himself from the blankets and stormed off, fury in every one of his steps.

�You heard him,� Grimmjow growled as he finally released his prisoner and gave him a shove towards the nest and cubs.

Szayel stumbled a bit at the shove but wasted no time rushing to his daughter and sweeping her up in his grasp, holding her tightly and curling up around her protectively. His entire body was shaking with pent up emotion.

Hijastro meowed in protest for a moment before settling down. Cachorro just curled up beside them before letting out a large yawn and going back to sleep.

Grabbing his own Zanpakuto�s from its place on the weapon�s rack that was mounted high up on the wall so little cubs couldn�t get to them, Grimmjow followed after Ichigo. There were a large number of things Pantera was going to be explaining to H�tsu weather Ichigo wanted his help or not. He only paused briefly to make sure Szayel was going to obey their orders and not attempt to run with his daughter and hide, but his fellow former Espada was damn near catatonic and clearly not going to be moving anytime soon.

The cubs, now that they were awake, were clambering to be fed and Szayel did shift his position curled up around them so they could feed.

Satisfied, Grimmjow stormed off in Ichigo�s wake, following the teen down the stairs that led to the underground training facility and firmly closing the door behind them so the rest of the pack wouldn�t have to feel the battle and so that there was a barrier to prevent H�tsu from escaping from them long enough to live up to his threat should the hollow foolishly attempt it.

Ichigo looked over at him curiously for a moment as he joined the teen before giving him a small smile of pleasure. Fortunately, the teen said nothing of his presence and simply hardened his will once more before H�tsu appeared before them, seeming somewhat sleepy and confused. Neither one of them gave the hollow a chance to recover as they both brought their Zanpakuto down upon the one being punished for overstepping his bounds.

It came as one hell of a shock to the hollow when H�tsu suddenly found himself manifested in the dessert of the underground training room. He had been sleeping contently after enjoying a wonderful evening with his pet. When he was done with his toy he had deliberately forced Ichigo�s reiatsu to fluctuate, but the teen had simply slept soundly through the disturbance and showed no signs of noticing one of his pack members was clearly suffering distress.

As much as it pissed him off Ichigo could remain so oblivious to what was happening right under his nose, Zangetsu was annoyingly right when the Shinigami part of their shared soul pointed out just how much pressure Ichigo was under between his school work, ruling the pack and parental obligations. It was no wonder Ichigo was constantly asleep so deep that it would take an earthquake to awaken him.

H�tsu tossed the thoughts aside as he stared up at two sets of eyes glaring at him with murderous intent. He had watched the teen�s mind for several minutes after finishing with Szayel and Ichigo had shown no signs of stirring, so clearly Ichigo hadn�t noticed that something was up, and least not on his own. But if Ichigo hadn�t figured out what was going on and had been contently sleeping until a moment ago�

H�tsu turned his attention to Grimmjow. The Arrancar had been the one to have figured it out! And what more, had brought it to Ichigo�s attention. This was not something H�tsu had been expecting. Instead of getting the pissed off, instinctively driven �I must irrationally protect all� hybrid he had been expecting, he was being confronted by a united front. The Alpha pair was furious and ready to defend some nigh worthless Omega, who only had value because he was a Natural Born Beta, as if he was one of their own cubs.

This just didn�t make sense to him. Ichigo he could see, and had planned for, simply because of the hybrids nature, but Grimmjow? What care did the violent hollow have for some weak creature who should have been able to defend himself? It just didn�t make sense. Szayel was neither his mate nor his blood so what did Grimmjow care about what happened to the Beta outside of being able to feed his cub?

�They are no longer just hollows.�

Zangetsu�s comment came back to him just before he barely had time to start dodging. It was unlike Ichigo to attack without speaking first, thus it was a testament to just how pissed the teen was. H�tsu barely managed to dodge the surprise attack only to move into another attack launched his way by the hybrid�s equally displeased mate.

This was definitely something he had never expected to face, the two working in silent tandem to see as much bodily harm done to him as was possible. He almost swore he could feel Zangetsu giving him a knowing look behind those black shades of his, as if saying �told you so idiot� without actually saying anything.

The battle, if it could be called that, last about half an hour before H�tsu felt his mangled body dragged violently back inside of Ichigo�s inner world. Zangetsu stared silently down at him as he lay in a growing puddle of his own blood that stained the glass window crimson.

�Shut up,� H�tsu snarled at his roommate, but didn�t have the energy to do much more as he lay prone on the side of the slanted building.

Rain was coming down in torrents and lightning flashed across the sky chased by loud claps of thunder. H�tsu hadn�t seen this world in such turmoil since Kurotsuchi had gone after Ichigo�s pack and family.

�Not quite the response I was expecting,� H�tsu chuckled, although it came out rather gargled thanks to the blood running down his throat.

Ichgio materialized before them, his eyes cold and narrowed in fury.

�Why?� the teen demanded darkly.

�You were becoming weak again,� H�tsu answered, staggering unsteadily to his feet.

Ichigo�s eyes narrowed sharply at H�tsu�s answer, clearly not finding it to be adequate enough.

�Pleasuring your pet, asking the others for their input,� H�tsu spat. �You are the Pack Alpha. Alpha�s don�t ask for shit, they order it,� H�tsu snapped.

�They are no longer just hollows,� Ichigo growled, unknowingly echoing Zangetsu�s earlier statement. �They are part Shinigami now too. If you ever dare to hurt another soul or threaten any of the cubs, I will personally see your existence extinguished,� Ichigo declared coldly before turning his attention towards Zangetsu. �And you knew about this?� The teen demanded.

�I will not hold your hand Ichigo,� Zangetsu commented. �While going about it the wrong way, I agree with the ideal behind his actions. You are the leader, and yet you failed to notice one of your pack was being abused right before you. Is your greatest desire not to protect others?� Zangetsu questioned.

Ichigo�s fury was quickly extinguished and turned to a more stricken/horrified feeling as Zangetsu�s words sunk in. He had completely failed to notice anything was amiss with Szayel other than he was constantly exhausted, but he had attributed that to caring for the cubs. He should have noticed something was up, Grimmjow had and Grimmjow was not as concerned over Szayel as he was.

It was a sign just how much his mate had changed that Grimmjow had noticed anything at all and than had actually acted upon it. The same Grimmjow who had firmly declared that Szayel would only be permitted to remain for as long as it took Hijastro to hatch, who had felt nothing but contempt for a Beta that couldn�t appease his Alpha.

Despite his own inner self loathing for failing to protect one of his companions, for basically being the instrument for his pain, he felt a small sense of pride for how far and how much Grimmjow had changed over the months. Having a cub had certainly brought out a less violent side in his mate.

�You going to mope King,� H�tsu taunted. �Remember, the moment you lose your resolve I will take over and place you beneath me. Than I will be able to enjoy your pet as well as my own! Maybe even both of them at the same time,� he added with a lecherous smirk.

Ichigo felt his resolve return to it�s iron will as he glared at his Hollow counterpart with barely suppressed fury. H�tsu smirked, and than disappeared into a Sonido as the hollow left, leaving the teen alone with Zangetsu.

�Iron will, always look forward,� Zangetsu reminded him.

Ichigo nodded his head and left his inner world. Grimmjow was standing near by, panting lightly from their exertion over beating the ever living crap out of H�tsu. The expression on the former Espada�s face was one of satisfaction, and yet hunger.

�Well?�

�I doubt he will be an issue again,� Ichigo answered, giving his head a shake and forcing himself not to dwell upon H�tsu�s accusations about how he had failed to protect his own. If he dared to wallow in self pity Zangetsu would no doubt lecture him, and if Rukia ever found out it would be another lecture plus a beating.

�Good,� Grimmjow grunted. �We should get cleaned up before heading back upstairs.�

Even though the suggestion was sound, something about the smirk on his face and the look in his eye led Ichigo to believe that �cleaning up� was the last thing on Grimmjow�s mind, at least not without getting dirtier first.

�A good idea,� Ichigo smiled at him.

Both of them made their way over to the hot spring but were stopped halfway there when Szayel dared to creep hesitantly down the first several stairs.

�What is it?� Ichigo called concerned.

Something big must have been happening of Szayel dared to come anywhere near where he knew H�tsu was and to leave the cubs, especially his daughter, unattended and out of his sight when he was clearly so distraught. Although it at least looked like he took the time to clean himself up a bit and pull his Yukuta on.

�Tesra and Yylfordt�s egg is hatching,� he answered quickly with just the barest hint of excitement before going back up the stairs in a hurry.

Both men shared a surprised glance before rushing to the hot spring to wipe most of the blood off and racing for the stairs themselves, all though of passionate, after battle sex suddenly off of their minds.

Well, most of the renovations are done and a good amount of stuff is unpacked. The munchkin is sleeping a bit better and I have a few minutes I can finally call my own. This is one of those chapters that would have been infinitely better animated and I am not all that pleased with how it turned out, but I ain�t going to make you all wait longer. Not much left to this story and I just hope I can get the time to finish it off in a reasonable time frame.

/love all of you that took the time to review. I have a thing about giving out too much personal information on the net, so sorry for those of you that asked, but I won�t be giving out my son�s name. Heaven forbid years down the road someone read this and put two and two together and torment the poor lad about how his mother wrote smut online. We chose a very unique name so it wouldn�t be hard.
