Body Shock

Disclaimer: Bleach does not belong to me. I can only dream and use the characters as my puppets in the meantime.

A.N: An unusually quick update, huh? I know that you guys are getting impatient but I've done it on purpose. Sorry for making you wait so long but at least you're enjoying it. Hopefully. You won't have to wait much longer for the lemon part, I promise.

I haven't read much of the manga, so things will mostly be based on what's been said in the anime so far.


Everything was ready, Rukia was sure of it. She didn't have her spirit phone so definitely no interruptions. Kon and Ichigo were missing because Ichigo had taken Kon to Urahara for the night. There was nobody else in the house. She was wearing her new dress and her other clothes had been packed away neatly in the cupboard.

She could feel herself tingling with anticipation.

She would finally be able to see Ichigo entirely. And she was certain that he would be able to satisfy her more than her own fingers could. She was getting wet again; she knew it from that stirring inside her and the longing to be touched. She allowed herself one privilege, skimming her fingers swiftly up the inside of her thigh and slipping them inside her underwear, feeling the wetness that was starting to gather. She closed her eyes and sighed after touching herself for a little while but then realised that something better was to come later so she withdrew and shook herself.

She could probably stand to wait a little longer.

"Ichigo..."

Ichigo jumped out of the way as the hollow attacked and brought his zanpakutou forward, intending to easily cleave off the head and bring an end to this interruption. That didn't happen, since the hollow reacted quickly and moved out of the way, leaving Ichigo's sword to slam into the pavement.

"Shit." But Ichigo didn't have too much time to dwell on the failure of his attack as the hollow reached forward with a scaly hand, intending to snatch him up. Ichigo swung his sword up and skipped out of the way, planting a foot firmly on the hollow's hand and using it as a springboard to jump high enough to reach the hollow's head, intending to perform another deadly swing. But that didn't happen either because once again the hollow dodged his attack.

As both of them paused for a moment, a distance from each other, the hollow grinned. "Too fast for you, huh? Poor little shinigami!"

Ichigo gripped his weapon with both hands, pointing it in front of him. This hollow was a little too fast. Well, that just meant he would have to get a little faster.

With an angry roar, Ichigo charged towards the hollow. It was tall and skinny, lending it speed. But Ichigo was determined not to let it get away. He jumped straight up once again and brought his sword crashing down before the hollow had time to react properly.

There was a pause as Ichigo noted with satisfaction that his sword had left a deep cut in the hollow's head and taken a chink out of the edge of the mask. One more blow and that would be enough to finish it off...

He was taken by surprise when the hollow momentarily disappeared and reappeared elsewhere, fully regenerated. Ichigo spun around quickly, eyes open in shock as the hollow swept a hand towards him again, only just managing to roll out of the way and leap to safety.

"What the..."

The hollow chuckled again. "Surprised, are we?"

Kon reached the Kurosaki household quickly enough, letting himself in with the keys that were in Ichigo's pocket. He had been told to check on Ichigo's family first. "Let's see..." He took a moment to rearrange his face into a scowl appropriate for Ichigo and entered the main room of the house. But the room was dark and there was nobody there.

"Yuzu? Karin?" He made sure to deepen his voice slightly as well but there was no answer. He didn't dare to call for Ichigo's father. That man was more than a little strange.

He sighed and walked to the kitchen table, setting down the bag. He looked at the plushie for a moment, holding it right up to his face. Maybe he was a little dirty... "I should ask Nee-san to give me a bath," Kon said to himself with a grin but then he sighed again as he realised that Rukia would probably just throw him out of the window. He put the plushie back inside the bag and left it on the table, noticing also that there was a note.

Ichigo - emergency - accident further in town. Went to help out. Stay at home if you want. Dad.

"Ah." So that was why there was nobody there. Maybe it was another hollow? Perhaps he should tell Rukia. If there were hollows around, she would want to know about it. Kon screwed the note up and threw it away before heading upstairs.

It was quiet upstairs and a little dark but he was able to find his way around easily. He reached the door of Ichigo's room and knocked, just in case Rukia was in there.

"Ichigo?"

Kon heard her voice and stepped inside, about to give Rukia a hug when he suddenly stopped and stared.

Ichigo was breathing hard, hands still clutching his sword. His scowl had deepened now that the fight had been made more complicated. Was this some new kind of hollow that Rukia hadn't told him about? Something incredibly strong? Ichigo's eyes narrowed as he thought of what this hollow was spoiling. His night off. His night off! And he still had to fight one of these bastards because it had specifically come after him! What had happened to Ishida, Orihime and Chad?

Oh no...They weren't...

What evidence did he have for that, though? Perhaps they got tied up elsewhere. Perhaps there were just a lot of hollows around tonight. Maybe that would explain his feeling of apprehension earlier before he went out to get the...

...Strawberry puddings.

"Dammit!" Ichigo yelled, charging forwards once again. One blow. He had made a hit before and he would sure as hell make another hit except this time he would finish off that hollow completely. He wouldn't give it time to regenerate or heal itself or whatever the fuck it managed to do. He would just cleave its fucking head off for making him so mad.

But Ichigo stumbled as his sword nearly cut into nothingness as he made his attack. The hollow had moved again and Ichigo looked behind him to see it bringing its hand down. And there were claws on the ends of its fingers that didn't look pretty at all.

Rukia looked towards Ichigo who was standing in the doorway and staring at her. She started to wonder whether she had something on her face, or whether something else was wrong with her appearance. The dress was black, short-sleeved and simple with buttons down the front. Nothing special so why was Ichigo staring at her like that?

"You look..." Kon swallowed. There was some light coming through the windows of Ichigo's room, making the place look blue, illuminating Rukia's dark beauty. Part of her hair shone and half of her face was hidden in darkness. She looked a little pale in contrast to the black dress she was wearing but with the light through the window, it made her look somewhat...mysterious and spiritual. Magical. "You look nice." Kon swallowed. He was so surprised that he hadn't thought to glomp her like he usually would have.

"Thank you." Rukia cleared her throat. Ichigo was looking strangely at her, his eyes slightly wider than usual. Was that a good thing? Well, it must be if he had complimented her. He was staying some way away from her, though.

There was a pause between the two for a moment.

That was his Nee-san. So lovely...simply standing in her presence was delightful. Kon suddenly smiled with the thought.

Rukia returned the smile and there was quiet for a moment, both of them just smiling at each other before Rukia spoke again. "Where's Kon?"

"I'm..." Kon paused. He was going to say that he was right there and he remembered why he had been sent back to Ichigo's house in the first place. "I..."

"Did you already take him to Urahara?"

Kon frowned. "Urahara? What does that bastard have to do with anything?"

"Remember? I suggested earlier that he could go there for the night." Rukia looked questioningly at him.

Why doesn't she... Kon was still frowning, but in confusion. Why doesn't she know that I'm in Ichigo's body? Surely anyone would be able to figure it out from miles away? His expression suddenly changed into a weary grin. All of that frowning was wearing him out. He should come clean, and just tell her about the hollow.

Rukia was still looking at Ichigo. He looked like he was thinking to himself and she cautiously took a step forward. "Ichigo? What is it?"

If she couldn't sense that he wasn't Ichigo, then did that mean her spiritual sense was failing? Was he simply good at impersonating Ichigo? Then he remembered the time when that stupid kid with the bow and arrow had engaged in some sort of competition with Ichigo. Rukia had only recognised Kon when he came to her rescue because he had turned and glomped her. So that really meant...

Rukia was hesitant to move any closer but Ichigo wasn't moving any further away. She stayed where she was for the moment and waited for a reply. Ichigo was looking at her as if he was trying to figure something out. It was starting to get annoying. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I just..."

Rukia reached forward and took hold of Ichigo's hand. His hand was a little cooler than her own but it was firm and strong.

Kon's eyes widened a little as Rukia touched his hand. Ichigo's hand. His hand. It was nice not to be treated horribly for once. Perhaps he should just enjoy it. He would pay for it later, probably. He found himself looking into Rukia's large dark eyes and he was captivated. Her hand was small, soft and warm. Kon curled his fingers around to clasp hers and smiled once more. He was happy that she wasn't beating him up. "I...took Kon to Urahara like you said."

"No noise from him tonight, then." Rukia's heart was fluttering and her stomach felt empty, light. She didn't want to let go of Ichigo's hand.

"Y-Yeah...No Kon."

"What about your family?"

"...Some emergency in town. They had to go help out."

"So it's just us, then."

"Looks like it."

Another pause and Rukia looked down for a moment. "It's our night off."

"Yeah."

She couldn't breathe properly. Everything was just so tense. She tried to take a couple of deep breaths to steel herself. She hated talking when she couldn't think properly so she decided to simply just act. But as she looked up and met Ichigo's eyes, she had to take another deep breath. Her hand was still holding his and his fingers were quite slim and full of strength. Just feeling them and Rukia was stirring again.

"What's wrong?" Kon asked. "Ne-"

But before he made the mistake of calling her 'Nee-san', Rukia went on tiptoe and pressed her lips to his.

Ichigo had luckily managed to escape much of an injury. "Man, you hollows! Always messing up people's plans."

The hollow seemed to twist its lips into a grin. "But my plans are working out perfectly and that's all that matters."

He couldn't resist. Ichigo looked up at the hollow. "What plans?"

"Plans to attack as many of you as possible!" This was followed by another swipe that Ichigo easily avoided. It seemed that this hollow had no other ability other than simply being able to regenerate itself or disappear and reappear in other places. But plans?

"As many of us as possible?"

From across town he heard a large crash.

"What was that?" Orihime didn't want to admit that she was a little afraid in front of Ishida and Chad, who had done so well this evening. But that loud crash had alarmed her slightly.

"It sounded like it came from nearer the centre of town." Ishida looked in the direction of the sound, wondering what had caused it but then he turned around and saw a hollow standing behind him.

How had he failed to notice it? And at such close range as well! "MOVE!" Ishida yelled at Chad and Orihime. All three of them jumped to the side as the hollow sent a hand crashing down.

Ishida got to his feet and quickly summoned his bow, ready to fire another arrow. But as he fired, the hollow simply dodged, leaving Ishida with his mouth open in shock. That was the second time tonight! Completely unacceptable!

But he was forced to forget about it when he heard another cry from Orihime at the sight of an identical hollow rounding the corner, stopping to stand not too far away. What the hell was going on?

Chad looked back and forth between each hollow. Both of them were exactly the same, and the distance between them was not too far. Him, Orihime and Ishida were standing in the middle of them: a bad position. Both hollows were still, as if they were waiting for the perfect moment to attack. Both of them ready to attack together...

He ran and grabbed Ishida with one arm and Orihime with the other, sprinting out of the way as both hollows slammed down their hands. Chad could feel the rush of air and dust at his back. They had to move to a place less crowded where they could fight properly before things got too out of control.

"There are two of them?" Orihime cried as all three of them started to run. "Sado-kun! Ishida-kun! What are we going to do?"

"Find an open place and fight them," Ishida called back. The hollows were in hot pursuit, the sounds of their feet crashing into the ground as they loped along drowning out most of his speech. "We'll fight them as best we can!"

Chad grunted in agreement and Orihime responded with a determined nod, raising her hands to the two hairpins she wore.

"Ichi-nii..." Karin said quietly, looking up to the sky. There had been a small car crash, and she was certain that it hadn't been because either of the drivers weren't looking. Some other people who had been walking around had been hurt a little bit by flying debris and the Kurosaki family were helping to tend to those who had minor injuries while anyone more seriously hurt was taken to the hospital. But...she had seen one of those...things...again. She had seen it look at her when they had arrived on the scene and then pause before turning as if sensing something else.

"Karin-chan?" Yuzu, holding a box of supplies, looked towards her sister.

Karin returned Yuzu's gaze and simply shook her head. "It's nothing." She started to move towards where her father was helping treat people with cuts and bruises.

"Stay safe, Ichi-nii." Karin whispered those words to herself as she walked beside Yuzu.

There had been a pause as Rukia had quickly kissed Kon but that was over. Now the pair were standing in the middle of Ichigo's room, Kon with his arms wrapped around Rukia tightly as she stood on tiptoe, helping to support her so that she could keep her lips pressed against him. She was small and light, easy to hold and so soft. Kon hadn't ever kissed anyone before but he knew that he sure as hell liked it. Feeling Rukia open her mouth in a sigh and skimming her lips with his, slipping his tongue in her mouth to find hers and playfully lick it before slipping back out again...it was a feeling that he didn't want to give up straight away.

Rukia felt dizzy. And this was just saying hello? Ichigo was holding her so firmly and the kissing had quickly escalated from a simple peck to grabbing at each other, wanting to taste more and more. Why hadn't she done it earlier? The time simply hadn't been right. But it was now. Oh yes, it definitely was now.

They broke apart for air and stood staring at each other, both gasping slightly. Neither of them had anything to say but were trying to calm down.

What did she have to do now? Rukia studied Ichigo who looked back at her. She slowly calmed herself to regain her breath, getting ready to take the next step. When she had sufficiently calmed down, Rukia stood straight and tall, looking proudly at Ichigo.

"I've had this planned for a while. And I've found out strange things about this body." As she said this, she slowly lifted her fingers to the top button of her dress. "And I think that...I need this from you. If you are willing to give it to me." She undid the first button, revealing a little more of her throat. "And I think you are willing to give it to me." She undid another button, revealing part of her chest. "Am I right?" Another button and she had revealed the flat space between both of her breasts. "What do you think?" One more button and more of the skin on the way to her belly was revealed.

Kon stood transfixed. Was this really happening? Rukia was starting to undress herself in front of him... He could feel his heart rate increasing; it had slowed down as they had stopped kissing. And there was a strange tingling sensation in lower parts. With a mixture of fascination and horror, he realised that he was getting hard at the sight. In Ichigo's body.

The horror disappeared as Rukia undid another button and showed her flat belly and the top of her underwear. He felt another rush and realised that he wanted her very badly. But...Was it right? He couldn't help but hesitate.

"Ichigo..." Rukia undid the last button, the dress hanging loosely around her. She could see Ichigo's eyes taking in what she was showing of herself and wondered what he thought. "Are you...all right?"

Kon nodded slowly. He was fine, he was definitely fine.

"Ichigo...I want this."

She wanted Ichigo. Kon sighed mentally. She didn't know that he wasn't Ichigo. She couldn't tell. The fact that she didn't have any spirit power, for whatever reason...Was she really not recovering? The thought would upset Rukia to no end and Kon didn't feel like revealing himself to her just yet. And this was the night she had wanted to have fun. It was her night off. She deserved to have a good time.

Kon took a step forward and reached out a hand, taking one finger and tracing it from Rukia's throat, down her chest and belly and stopping to hook at the top of her underwear. "You want this..."

"I want you, Ichigo."

I'm going to give her a night to remember, Kon thought determinedly. And I'll show that I'm much better than that bastard Ichigo is. Nee-san deserves this, and I'm going to be the one to give it to her.

He slipped his finger back up Rukia's body along the same path, stopping at her chin this time and tilting her head upwards so she was looking directly into his eyes. Rukia noticed a sort of fire in them and could feel herself tensing with anticipation.

"Fine then." Kon leaned in and kissed Rukia roughly, grabbing her and holding her tightly against him. Rukia couldn't help but sigh slightly at the warmth of Ichigo's body between his t-shirt and her skin. There was only fabric separating their bodies right now. And soon enough, there wouldn't be anything at all.

Ichigo had started to run. He needed a much more open space to be able to fight properly. That crash he had heard...Was there another hollow wreaking havoc in town? Had there been an accident? Had people gotten hurt? He couldn't wait until he killed this damn thing.

"You think you're going to win?" the hollow cackled as it chased after Ichigo. "Pathetic little shinigami! You're already running away and my images are already causing trouble elsewhere!"

Images? Ichigo wondered what the hollow was talking about. What images? Did he mean...other hollows?

He turned around and faced the hollow, who also came to a stop. He pointed his sword defiantly. "What images?"

The hollow laughed. "That's my power, shinigami. Two images of myself, able to cause trouble! Like robots, or drones. Part of me as well! That's why I'm able to capture so many delicious things to eat, and cause so much pain! That's how I'm able to survive so long!" Its laugh rang through the streets, the triumphant sound of it making Ichigo sick to his stomach.

And without thinking too hard, Ichigo knew what he had to do. He started to run again, the hollow still laughing while it gave chase. Ichigo had to kill the images as well...But where were they?

"Shit!" He couldn't help swearing but at least something was on his side. There may have been two images and one obnoxious hollow, but at least there were three others out tonight who could help with the fighting.

Maybe this was going to take longer than he thought.

He thought that he heard stamping and some shouting nearby. It didn’t sound panicked, either, which was probably a good thing. That meant it wasn’t any innocent bystander getting mixed up in things they weren’t supposed to. He started to run towards the sound, winding along the streets. He knew that it wasn’t far until a place where the streets were wider, a place with a large road that wouldn’t have too many cars, hopefully. And hopefully not too many people around.

“You guys!” Ichigo roared above the noise. “You guys!”

“Was that Kurosaki-kun?” Orihime was hopeful as she asked Ishida and Chad.

“I think so,” Ishida said, still running.

Chad simply turned one way, the others following him. Soon they were all in a place where the street was wider and the road was bigger. More space. Much more space. And a figure in black clothes with bright orange hair speeding in their direction with another hollow in pursuit.

“Another one?!” Ishida ran with the others towards Ichigo. “What the hell is going on here?”

“We have to kill them all!” Ichigo yelled to the three, running to meet them and standing with them as the hollows approached from either side. “And at the same time! That thing regenerates!”

“What the…” Ishida looked at Ichigo. “How do you know this?”

“Damn it, Ishida! It’s my night off! I shouldn’t be spending it fighting never mind explaining things to dumbasses like you!”

“You—”

“They’re coming,” Chad interrupted.




A.N: Points for ablirim for guessing what was going to happen. You didn't think I'd make it easy, did you? But don't hate me. It's not over yet.
