Chapter 5- Half-Moon Delicates

".... Wh-what?" Rukia gasped in utter surprise, staring at the demon whom she had seen only several days ago. This couldn't be right, how can she be betrothed to Renji? The rare nue demon, who absentmindedly picking at his ear at the moment, looked back at her reaction and he expected that. He then glanced at Byakuya, who was usually stoic and quiet. But he noticed it, he could hear the two heartbeats thumping rapidly out of anxiety.

"Brother.... you're joking, right? There's no way I can be married to someone I don't know, demon or not!" she gasped, staring wide-eyed at the man.

".... It's true, Rukia, our family is contractually obligated to Renji Abarai," Byakuya calmly answered. "You are to be betrothed to him, now that you are of age--"

"But that can't be right! This is the 21st century, there's no need for an arranged marriage!" she said.

"She still doesn't get it.... Maybe if you can explain it to her, Byakuya?" Renji muttered. Byakuya almost bristled at the lack of formalities but frowned as he turned to his younger sister.

"Rukia, please listen.... there's something you must understand," he said quietly, and Rukia looked at him in confusion. "Over a century ago, during the Meiji Restoration, our ancestor-- who was the head of the Kuchiki hunting clan-- made an agreement with Renji Abarai when he was close to death by a demon attack. Abarai saved his life and killed the demon for him, but only if he made a request out of our family. I don't blame our ancestor's decision for wanting to live but.... Abarai asked the one and only thing from us though it took generations for it to happen."

"And it involves me....?" Rukia frowned in disbelief and Byakuya nodded.

"Considering our strong bloodline.... by the terms of the contract, Abarai requested the first female descendant of our ancestor through the main branch and make her his bride. And.... bear children with her...." The last comment jolted the petite girl as she could only stare, though Renji simply batted an eye as he stared at the two.

"Bear.... as in, I have to get pregnant by him?" she managed to choke out.

"Don't worry, that won't happen anytime soon," the nue demon spoke, catching her attention.

"But-- to be with a demon like you--"

"Like I said. First things first, I have to 'prepare' you for that to happen," muttered Renji. "Plus, you still got high school to finish up. I wouldn't want you sitting in classrooms with your stomach full of my offsprings." The nonchalant reply made Rukia all the more nervous, wondering what he meant by preparing her. But Renji observed her, his narrowed eyes gazed at her small body as he sighed. "But I wonder.... a girl her size is even capable of doing it."

"H-huh....?" Rukia saw the strange look on his eyes, before Renji sat up.

"Byakuya.... as the head of the clan, you should've read the contract," he said. "It was written a century ago but you should still stand by it. Unless you got some problem with it." Byakuya's frown deepened, his mental impulse to ignore the terms and remove Rukia away from him hackled up. But there was nothing he could do, as he nudged her forward.

"I'm sorry about this, Rukia.... but please go to him," he said quietly but Rukia flinched at his request.

"Brother--"

"We've no choice about this, it's in the contract," he muttered to her. "Please.... I'll explain it to you later." Rukia stared at her brother, who was one of the most prominent hunters in the city, being unusually placid before the nue. She really didn't understand, but she reluctantly nodded and stood up. With some hesitating steps, she walked up to Renji who smiled lightly.

"There's no need to be afraid.... It'll only take a few minutes," he said, before grasping at her wrists. Even without the firm grip, Rukia immediately felt the strength from his hands and shuddered in apprehension. Disguised as a human, Renji didn't really look bad in the teen's opinion, but the thought of his true form was terrifying to say the least, when Renji soon settled his large hands on her hips.

"Ahh...!" she gasped out, but couldn't wiggle out of his abnormally strong hold. "What're you doing....?"

"Your hips.... hope this pelvis is wide enough for childbirth," Renji mumbled to himself but Rukia heard it, with more anxiety building up inside her. "Pretty slim.... but I don't mind it...." Noticing her grey blazer, he moved to unbutton it.

"What--"

"Don't move," Renji muttered, with a slight hint of a warning growl. At that she stiffened, what could he possibly be doing to her? Opening up her blazer, the red-haired demon then went for blouse. All the while, Byakuya looked away, internally ashamed of forcing his sister into this. He had hoped Renji would give up on his family for this reason but besides the contract, he was still connected to the nue in more ways than one. There was no way of getting out of it.

Rukia shivered, practically in disgust, when Renji buttoned off her blouse. She couldn't believe that this was part of this contract. It didn't take long until she was being looked at, her ivory face tinted embarrassingly with red once those narrowed eyes gazed at her bra-covered chest. ".... So small...." Renji commented quietly at the A-cupped breast. "I could practically take it in my hand, see?" he pointed it out as he suddenly groped one, and Rukia flinched by the action.

"D-don't--" she yelped out when she tried to move away. But Renji instantly grabbed her by the arms, giving off another warning growl.

"Right now, I'm checking you out.... You have no protest over this, not even your brother can do anything about it," he muttered lowly, his garnet eyes glowed at her. "You are my bride.... I could simply take you away and make you bear my offsprings. I have already waited this long to have you, so I won't take no for an answer." Seeing this side of him made Rukia even more terrified, her blue-violet eyes widened to show her emotions.

She wanted to look at Byakuya, to see if he would do anything about it, but it was no use. He was just sitting there without a word, while she was being manhandled by this demon. Renji simply sighed, one of his hands tensed up until his fingernails immediately grew and sharpened into claws. "Let's see here...."

"Hnn....!" The petite girl flinched the moment he snapped off the bra straps. Her small breasts was exposed to the cool air, making the rosy pink nipples stand out unintentionally. Renji noticed that, and let out a subtle rumble of interest.

"I see.... I bet down there's just as small," he muttered, his eyes traveled down to her pelvic area.

"Ah, please...." she gasped but Renji just smirked lightly.

"Just lift up your skirt. I'm giving you enough honor not to have you naked in front of your brother," he advised. Rukia almost shivered, it almost felt like humiliation with the way he was patronizing her. But given no choice, she did what she was told, pulling up the front of her pleated skirt to reveal her underwear.

Renji suppressed back a growl, he could smell her scent. Even with the petite teen being afraid of him right now, her body was responding with some amount of lust from being stared at. "I'll know for sure...." he rumbled. With his clawed fingers, he easily ripped apart the cotton material. Rukia shuddered in fright, this demon ripped off her panties as Renji looked down there. He noticed her womanhood was bare saved for a tiny amount of black fuzz above it, before the teen attempted to squirm away from his hold once again.

"Not so fast...." he breathed, as he snaked his strong arm around her waist.

"Ah...!" she winced when she was pulled onto his lap. She could feel a deep rumbling from his chest, but this time she couldn't move as Renji slipped his hand up her skirt. "No, please....!" She flinched when she felt his fingers touching her, before one attempted to push into her. Her body was acting against her, much to her utter disbelief, when she felt her untouched entrance being breached and her inner muscles contracted around the demon's finger.

"Such a good reaction.... you're getting wet for someone who's pure," purred Renji, already smelling the sexual secretion oozing out of her. "As expected, you're tight and unused. Means you have all the right requirements of becoming my bride.... Good thing the clan made sure that you didn't lay with another male."

"I-I made that choice myself....!" winced Rukia, but she shuddered when he pushed further.

"Oh? Such a good girl you are...." he rumbled deeply, before removing his finger. Rukia just wanted to cry out of shame and embarrassment.... being molested by a strange demon in the presence of her brother. This shouldn't be right, she came from a family of proud hunters, and yet she was being autioned off to someone who was going to be her husband and father of their future half-breed children. Renji simply smirked, lessening his hold on her as he glanced at Byakuya.

"We already agreed that I'll wait until her high school is done.... but I still have to prepare her body to make it capable of carrying my kids," he said. "Meaning, this coming week, I'll have to sleep with her soon after our matrimony."

"Wh-what....?!" Rukia gasped sharply. This demon.... she has to marry him this week? And to lay with him for the first time....? Renji just blinked at her, as if he wasn't fondling her moments ago, before he simply shrugged.

"Your brother should have told you how half-breeds are properly conceived," he muttered. "A human female cannot handle such a pregnancy without absorbing the essence of the demon father. Meaning that, in order to have my kids, we have to keep fucking until you absorb enough to conceive."

"What?! No, I can't do that....!" she gasped. She wasn't sure if she could feel this horrified by the demon's plan. "I'm too young for that! I can't possibly think of having children at this moment....!"

"I know that.... but for now, we're just gonna fuck for the next few years," Renji answered almost dismissively. "And we'll do it naturally. You humans created those birth-controlling inventions, but I won't have that. No rubber, no pills... you'll absorb bits of my energy whenever I spill my seed inside you. That's how it works...." But Rukia was still mortified, this was all happening so fast to her. There was just no way she could do this.

".... Abarai, are you done here?" Byakuya finally spoke, his angered tone thinly veiled under his noble composure.

"Hmm, I could be," he replied, pretty much ignoring the emotions coming from the nobleman. "But.... I could stay around here, so she could get used to me. It would be disappointing if I were to come back a week later and take her virginity when she's afraid of me right now. I wouldn't like that one bit." At that, the noble hunter seemed to glower at him for such an idea. After the humiliating display of his little sister being pawed at, the nue had the gall to request taking up residence at his estate for the coming days. But.... seeing the apprehensive look on Rukia's face, she looked as if she wanted to reject the idea.

"Why don't you ask what Rukia wants out of this, Abarai?" he questioned. Renji frowned slightly but glanced down at the petite girl on his lap. He had waited for her to come around, yet it wouldn't hurt to know what she wanted.

"Rukia...." he adressed her by her name and the teen nearly flinched in surprise from that before looking up at him. "You're going to be my wife, according to the contract. You will do what I say, even if your brother is against it, including carrying my offsprings. But.... you'll still have your freedom. When I stay here, you don't have to be by my side every time. I won't corner you with threats or anything like it, as long as you will respect your role. But I'll mention it once and only once, I won't harm your family.... as long as you fulfill said role."

"S-so.... as long as I'm able to give you children, my family will be safe....?" she muttered.

"That's pretty much the deal," Renji said. "I'm a very strong demon, and I'm far older than you. Even the most experienced hunters cannot deal with a Class-A monster like myself." He leaned close to her, hearing her rapid heartbeats, before emitting a deep rumbling purr. "I'm not an evil demon who's doing it out of spite," he muttered. "Think of this as a form of alliance for you and your clan. Your bloodline will be stronger in the future.... because you possess this precious area right here," he added with a smirk, placing his hand over her flat stomach.

"But...."

"Like I said, I'll stay for the week, then we'll spend our first night together," said Renji, before he tugged her opened blouse close. "Just act like everything's normal.... but do what you want, I don't care." Staring at him, Rukia reluctantly fixed her blouse until she managed to get three buttons together.

"Can.... can I go now....?" she asked quietly.

"Of course, Rukia." The nue demon completely let go of her, and the teen girl soon got to her shaky feet.

"Rukia, it's all right.... you are dismissed, go to your room," Byakuya ordered. Rukia glanced at her brother, whose dark grey eyes were practically burning holes at the red-haired demon, and nodded before finally leaving the office. She just couldn't believe it.... how will she tell this to Ichigo, that she will be a wife of the same demon who was acting stupidly and handing out useless flyers days ago....?

"Shit...." she mumbled sadly, first she had to shower to wash away the shame on her. Meanwhile, Renji simply blinked at Byakuya, as if him being angry and humiliated was a common habit, as he frowned.

".... You know this was going to happen anyway, there's no need to lose face," he said.

"Lose face....? My young sister was groped by an unknown demon contracted to her, yet you think I'm in the wrong?" Byakuya muttered lowly.

"You didn't tell her anything at all about me, Byakuya," he debated. "You kept her in the dark, making her believe that she could have a normal life despite coming from clan of famous hunters. That's why she's afraid of me right now, thinking of me as a monster who sees her as a breeding stock."

"And isn't that what you said to her, that you'll make her have those offsprings if she doesn't comply to your words?" frowned Byakuya. At that, Renji smirked lightly as he leaned comfortably back into the cushions.

"Force of habit, I did run a few yakuza gangs some decades ago and my need to give threats simply came out," he said. "Now that I think about it.... I once threatened your great-grandfather not to purposely break the contract when his pregnant wife died in a traffic accident. I was pissed off when I found out that the unborn child was a female, but you Kuchiki are very persistent with keeping the male line intact."

"Well... here you are, waiting over a hundred and thirty years for one female--"

"And a wait it was, so I might as well take the opportunity now while I still have the chance," Renji smirked with a subtle growl. "I wouldn't be so sullen if I was you, Byakuya. Just be happy that you'll becoming an uncle soon."

"Do not patronize me, Abarai," Byakuya warned. "I will not going to stand by while you taint Rukia's honor. Not while I'm still alive...." Renji narrowed his eyes at him, but he smirked just the same.

"You're still the hot-headed boy I met those thirteen years ago," he chuckled. "Vowing to protect your little sister from me no matter what, when you found out about me and my connection to the clan. But you cannot hide her forever.... she'll be my wife and birth my children to replenish my race. On the brightside, by becoming resilient from the constant mating and pregnancies with a strong demon, she'll live longer and stay young. She could be the same teenage girl for the next few decades while you go grey-haired and senile."

Byakuya just glowered at him, the nue was still same cocky monster who teased around humans for his own amusement as he had remembered. Renji simply smirked, lifting his hand to his face and his tongue darted out to lap at the finger that was inside Rukia. "Better get used to me being around, Byakuya, and when the time comes for me to consummate the marriage.... you won't have to protect her for long," he muttered. "I'll do it as her husband, no danger will come to her no matter what."

"No danger except from you, of course," Byakuya countered. Renji simply sighed, before getting up, the aura strongly emitting from him but the hunter wasn't backing down as he stood up as well. He was barely at eye-level with the demon, who merely smirked.

"There's no escaping it, even with the first night," he said. "From when the contract was written, you have to uphold it. Even if you have to watch your little sister having her virginity taken as a noble witness...." With that, he walked past Byakuya to leave the office. Walking down the long hallway, he licked his lips before letting out a soft satisfied growl. He could taste Rukia's purity on his tongue.... it had been a while since he had taken a virgin let alone a human one. But it would be an interesting night he will have with her. The teen had a small and fragile body, and to take on someone his size will be rather painful on her side.

"Calm down.... you'll have your chance soon enough...." he muttered to himself with a light smirk, palming his arousing crotch through the front of his jeans. It will all be worth it, within two years he will get what he wanted.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Shivering a little, Ichigo opened her eyes as she woke up, now that the warm sunlight was in her face. "Hmmm...." she yawned quietly and stretched her arms out. She shivered again, feeling a presence within her bedroom before she slowly got out of bed. Instead of feeling the cool wooden floor under her feet, she only felt a soft warm padding of a futon mattress.

She frowned, seven years had changed but she couldn't get used to the sight of Grimmjow sleeping in her room as before. The cat demon really had stayed by her side since she was a baby, slumped back in a rocking chair next to the crib and napped with one eye opened in case of trouble, from what her crazy father had told her. But Ichigo only felt more close to her parents regardless of her closeness to the one who was sleeping underneath the bundles of sheets and pillows.

But Grimmjow was really sleeping, his rumbling snores muffled as she moved to gather her clean and folded uniform on her desk. ".... Grimmjow.... get up, I need some privacy," she sighed, before she nudged him with her foot. The blue-haired demon snorted but let out a rumbling sound, before stretching out his limbs in his still sleeping state.

"Grahhh....!" he yawned out loudly in a growl-like sound. His sharp teeth bared as the joints in his bones cracked audibly once he rolled on his back.

"Ughh....! How can you make such a noise in the morning?" Ichigo grimaced at him. But Grimmjow yawned loudly again, managing to open his eyes to notice the teen standing nearby him.

".... Can't help it, my body was so tired after that incident," he grumbled, rolling over again as he tiredly got to his knees. The bedsheets fell off to reveal his upper body, scars from his battle with that nue monster were already fading as he then stood up.

"Can't you wear a shirt or something, Grimmjow? It's already weird enough that you're back sleeping in my room," she frowned.

"Tch, I'm already hot enough with these thin sheets," he sighed, sporting a spare gym shorts as he moved to fold up the futon. "Maybe if you put a fan in here, I might consider it."

"It's more than that," she said. "Being nine years old then and being a teenager now are two very different levels. To have a grown man sleeping in my bedroom would raise eyebrows, that's my opinion."

"Joke's on you, I've been an adult since Tokyo used to be called Tokyo City and was a prefecture of its own," he smirked a little. Unfurling her boyish slacks, Ichigo blinked at that. Depending on what type or class level the demon was, they usually have longer lifespans than humans, with some lived as long as the mortals themselves. Looking at the the demon who was putting up the mattress in the closet, she was beginning to wonder if her mother had asked the same question herself.

".... You've lived for how long, Grimmjow?" she asked quietly. Almost instantly, the bright cyan eyes fell on her, but Grimmjow seemed just as humanly curious when he shrugged.

"For just over a century," he replied.

"But don't you know what exact year you was born?" she questioned, remembering from her childhood. She knew that her birthday was close to his own by almost two weeks, but she was ignorant to notice why he hadn't aged much back then. Again, Grimmjow's quirky cat-like demeanor was coming out as he frowned lightly, closing the closet door. "Uh, sorry, if I came off too strong. I just never noticed that before as a little kid--"

"1906.... I was born on July 31, 1906," he muttered. "Not every demons lived in obscurity when I was actually raised like a human child. As for my mother, a bakeneko, she disguised herself as a human and worked as an entertainer." He turned to her, but smirked lightly as he walked up to Ichigo.

"Goodness, Grimmjow, I didn't expect you to be that, well...." she said in amazement.

"Yep. I grew like an actual human but then I stopped aging the moment after a few years of being an adult," he nodded. "Although.... I don't know which exact age since I was scavaging in the woods for most of my life. Does that answer your questions, kid?"

"Aside from your mother being an entertainer of some sort?" Ichigo inquired, mostly out of curiosity.

"Entertainer, as in a geisha...." he answered, and Ichigo blinked at that in utter surprise.

"Really?"

"A high-ranking one at that," he sighed, ruffling her orange hair. "But that's the tale for another day, I don't want you to be late for school, kid."

"Oh, right.... guess I have to tell Rukia that we made up," she smiled a little as she nodded. "She's not gonna live it down, I know her too well." Grimmjow smirked back before turning for the door.

"Do you want me to walk you to school or you prefer to go alone?"

"No, I... I want to hear about how you have been doing during the past seven years in the woods," she suggested. Grimmjow nearly paused opening the door, but he gave off a slightly sad smile as he nodded.

"Okay...." He stepped out of the bedroom and shut the door behind him. It hadn't occured to him before, and yet he had mentioned his mother as if it was casual. But thinking about it after decades of his adult life living from the human world, he had never realized how reverted he was before Masaki discovered him. He had lived as a human, remembering such a privilege in his childhood before the death of his mother. Even at a century old, the loss of her was still painful.

That was because, like Ichigo, his mother was killed in a random demon attack, but he didn't have a true family to support on. Walking downstairs, his nose wiggled at the salty smell of breakfast being cooked. He mentally frowned, though, that he didn't have a chance to take up Yuzu's offer to go shopping. As much as he liked eggs, it wasn't enough for his abnormal hunger, as he made his way to the kitchen.

"Oh! Good Morning, Grimmjow!" Yuzu smiled at him the moment he stepped in. Her sister, eating at the table, merely looked up and muffled out a greeting.

"Hey...." he nodded, sitting across from Karin. Almost on cue, Yuzu gave him his breakfast.

"Thanks a lot," he nodded, before diving in on the usual eggs and bacon.

".... We gotta feed you something else, Grimmjow," Karin spoke. "Don't think we can feed you nothing but eggs everyday."

"I know, I should ask Shiba so I can buy my own food," he sighed, chomping on the stripped meat.

"Like what? What can't you eat?"

"Well, for one thing.... I can't drink milk," said Grimmjow. "I tried it before but I got sick in the stomach. Your mother figured out that I got lactose intolerate, so I can't have dairy food."

"So.... you don't do so great in rain, and now you get diarrhea if you drink milk," the twin frowned. "For a strong demon, you got the dumbest weaknesses ever, Grimmjow."

"Maybe for the milk part..." frowned the cat demon.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

".... What the hell?" Ichigo stared at the empty desk next to hers in surprise. Rukia wasn't here at all, she was usually the one to be here before her. Maybe she was running late for school, a rare thing for that to happen, as Ichigo sat down. "Strange...." she sighed. As she waited, she wondered how to explain Rukia about her making up with Grimmjow. No doubt the petite girl will smack her around for being stupid and selfish, but she knew that she would be happy anyway.

As more and more students arrived to take their seats, Ichigo frowned. The bell was about to ring any minute and yet Rukia wasn't nowhere to be seen. Maybe she was sick and couldn't come to school at all. Looking around, she discreetly took out a burgundy-colored cell phone.

'Where are u, Rukia? R u sick?'

She sent the text, knowing that her friend would instantly reply. But after a couple of minutes, the device didn't buzz at all. She frowned, this time out of worry. Was there something going on at Rukia's house? The opening bell rang loudly just as the teacher walked into the classroom. "Shit..." she mumbled, putting away her phone.

"Morning, class.... before I begin my attendance, I was informed earlier by a call from the Kuchiki residence," she announced clearly, her statement caught Ichigo's attention and the teen frowned in confusion. "Rukia will not be attending school for this week, as she is pretty sick. Since she's only one who is absent from what I'm seeing, there's really no need to question it...."

Ichigo just frowned, there was some reason to question it. She had never remembered Rukia being sick at all from the years she had knew her. But nothing can be done about it as the lessons started, but still.... something wasn't right. If Rukia was truly sick, she would've told her first thing in the morning. Maybe there is something else, if she wasn't told about it.

Meanwhile, Rukia was still in her bed, buried underneath the thick bedsheets as she laid there long after waking up. She hadn't had a good sleep over the past weekend, ever since finding out that she was betrothed to Renji. That nue demon was right about staying here until they make the marriage official, as she could feel his presence nearby in a guest room. It was so confusing to her. She couldn't believe the way he had touched her, even inserting a finger up her womanhood right in front of her brother.

Of course Byakuya would feel bad about the situation, when he assured her that she could stay home for the time being and she immediately agreed. But she couldn't help but think about Ichigo. She knew that her phone buzzed with a text message from her, but she didn't want to answer it. She couldn't just go and answer that she was staying at home to get used to some demon she was being married off to. No doubt her friend would come charging in with sword in hand.

Suddenly, Rukia felt the demonic aura wavered before getting stronger, meaning that Renji was coming around here. She shivered in apprehension, she didn't want to see him. She was already hiding herself for the past two days, and yet she wasn't scolded for her behavior.

Then again, this doesn't change the fact that she must face him every day after their marriage. Reluctantly, she climbed out of her bed, scratching through her frayed hair. She has to do this, as she moved to the bedroom door and open it.

Almost on cue, Renji was in full view, just when he passed by her door. "Oh.... there you are," he grinned lightly at her. "I was just wondering when you were coming out of your hibernation."

"I...." Rukia frowned and looked away from the nue demon, who was sporting only a pair of jeans and a white undershirt that snugly stretched over his six-pack, as she fiddled with her fingers. There was no way she could act so casual to a stranger who groped her not long ago. Renji seemed to notice that, and sighed deeply before stepping up to her. "Ah...!" she gasped and instinctively stepped back.

"Oh? You still don't like me or something, Rukia....?" he questioned.

"Well.... who would like you after what you've done to me?" she managed to say. Renji blinked at that, as if it was an odd question. But he already understood it as he took a deep sigh.

"Blame me all you want, but that was pretty much a part of the contract," he sighed.

"Huh?"

"Yeah.... My bride has to be a virgin," he simply replied. "I had to personally make sure that you didn't give it away to someone else. Otherwise, your brother has to pay the price."

"My brother? Why....?" she frowned in confusion.

"That's what your ancestor had agreed, that should the clan attempt to break the contract in any way then I could.... you know, take his life." His answer sent a disturbing shiver down Rukia's spine. This demon would kill Byakuya if her family had tried to break the contract, but Renji appeared so nonchalant at the thought of it as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Hmm.... looking back on it now, it looked like I was acting like such a bad guy," he muttered. "Guess having a powerful hunter begging for my help, I couldn't help but take advantage of a good opportunity. And I wanted to make sure that I got my end of the bargain...."

He glanced at the petite teen before frowning a little. "But.... it seems that I got the short end of the deal," he deadpanned, much to Rukia's dismay.

"Wh-what does that supposed to mean....?" she questioned despite of herself.

"Your body.... it's pretty small, like a little kid," he sighed. "I'm pratically a giant compared to you. I'll probably break you on our first night together if I'm not careful."

"Careful? A strong demon like you, being careful on me?" Rukia frowned out of apprehension.

"Yes, Rukia, you are going to have my children after all--"

"Please, don't bring that up," she shook her head, and Renji noticed her distressed expression. "It's already bad enough that I'm being forced into marriage out of the blue-- to a demon out of all people. I don't want to be reminded that I'm going to be popping out kids for your sake."

"Oh... is that what you believe, girl?" he sighed deeply.

"I.... well, to be honest, I don't want to do this," she admitted. "I don't want to be married. I don't want to have children so soon, when I wanted to have a normal life. Can't you understand that.... Renji?" The nue demon stared at her with his narrowed eyes for a while, before putting up a small smirk.

"Do you honestly think you can have a normal life?" he muttered. "You've come from a prestige line of hunters, no doubt some rogue demons will come after you. And because Byakuya prohibits you from training to become a strong hunter just for my sake, you're even more vulnerable." He stepped forward, going inside her room before closing the door.

"Wait a minute.... what are you doing?" Rukia gasped softly.

"Thinking about it, you couldn't become a hunter because you have to become my bride," he muttered, letting out a soft growl. "But without that option, the only choice you have is that you let me protect you. Meaning that you must marry me, Rukia...."

"But...." The red-haired demon walked up to her and she stumbled back, until her legs hit her large bed "Ah....!" she gasped sharply once she bounced onto the mattress. A second later, she was instantly pinned down by Renji, whose garnet eyes glowed at her as he gripped her wrists firmly.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you...." he growled softly, but he could hear the petite girl's heartbeats thumping very fast.

"Please...." she managed to whisper out.

"I said don't worry, I'm not gonna fuck you yet," he breathed out. "I know I already inspected you to check your virginity. But.... I want to know how you will look like.... underneath me."

"Wh-what--"

"Shh.... you need to get used to this, Rukia," he rumbled out a deep purr. "I can't have you being afraid of me, like some sadistic monster who wants to rape you."

"B-but.... you will...." she whimpered softly and Renji blinked at that. "I have no choice but to be with you.... it might as well be rape...." Renji frowned, but shifted his hold so he could grip her wrists with one hand.

"I'm not a bad guy, but I'm a demon," he rumbled. "I'm trying my best to act like a civilized human, but my instincts are aching in my mind, saying I should just take you." With his free hand moving downward, he gripped at the hem of her pajama shirt and slowly pulled it up. Rukia shuddered, feeling the fabric being pulled away until her small breasts were fully revealed. "Right now.... I just want to see you fully, Rukia. That's all...." he purred, letting go of her wrists.

"A-ahh...." she gasped and shivered, feeling the large hands groping her.

"As expected.... you're reacting to my touch," he rumbled as he used his fingers to lightly pinched the hardened nipples. Rukia immediately flushed, mostly out of shame for reacting like this for her soon-to-be husband. She tried to breath evenly to calm herself, but Renji continued to play with her, rubbing his thumbs over the rosy buds. "You're not gonna feed our babies that fake milk those humans invented," he reminded. "You'll nurse them with these tits and I'll make sure of that."

"Mmh....!" Rukia wanted to look away. But in some way, Renji was right. She really couldn't be afraid, not when she has to get used to this. With her violet-blue eyes stinging with unshed tears, she looked down to see one hand traveling down her flat stomach. "Wha....? What are you trying to do?" she whimpered, the moment the fingers hooked at the waistband of her shorts.

"I mentioned that I might break you if I'm not careful," he muttered. "Not that I'm exaggerating but.... I'm not considered 'average' when it comes to my dick. But I doubt that it'll be a problem once we get used to it." With that, he pulled down her shorts, moving her slim legs with such ease as he took it off completely. "Interesting, huh....?"

"What....?"

"Even though you're still wary of what I'm doing, your body's saying otherwise," he smirked lightly. "I can smell it, it's the natural reaction since I'm doing this to you." Removing his other hand from her breast, he gripped underneath her knees before pushing her legs back.

"Ahh....! Wait--" Rukia blushed even further when she noticed the lust-like stare on Renji's eyes. But the nue demon rumbled as he looked at her panty-clad crotch, seeing that the cottony fabric appeared damp with her secretion.

"You're wet.... it means that your body's getting sexually excited," he smirked. "I can really smell it, and it's a good thing too.... You didn't have your period yet, did you?"

"H-huh....?!"

"Did you or didn't you?" he purred. "I don't want to knock you up as soon as I go in there."

"Uhh.... just a little over two weeks ago," she replied with hesitation, and Renji grinned at that.

"That's good...." With one hand removing from her leg, he palmed at her covered womanhood. Rukia flinched greatly from his touch and wanted to squirm away, but the demon's hold on her was firm as he growled softly. "Let's look down here, shall we....?" he rumbled, as he slipped a finger underneath the fabric.

"N-no....!" gasped Rukia, but her underwear instantly ripped apart. Renji made a deep rumbling now that he could see her womanhood. The lips were bare, with a bit of pink tint of color on it. "A-a-ahh...." Rukia shuddered from the stare on her exposure but Renji set his narrowed sight on her.

"Spread it...." he purred, and she flinched in surprise. "I know that girls touch themselves and you're no exception. Just reach down there and spread it open, Rukia."

"I...." Without any way to argue against, she reluctantly nodded as she moved her hands down to her crotch. Her cheeks felt hot when her fingers moved to spread apart the lips, revealing the tiny entrance that was oozing out the secretion.

Renji looked down and chuckled. "Good pink color.... and your hole's so tiny," he purred deeply. "Wonder how you'll push out our babies out of there, let alone taking in my dick...." Without warning, he pressed a thumb against the entrance before pushing the digit in. Rukia shuddered at the intrusion but didn't move, although her inner muscles clenched out of reflex as Renji pushed it further. "Interesting.... You're reacting so good, Rukia...."

".... It's strange...." mumbled Rukia, breathing heavily. "Feel so strange...."

"It's okay...." he rumbled, pumping the thumb in and out of her. More slimey secretion oozed out, before he leaned close to her. The teen could feel his extra warm body heat as she saw him licking his lips. "It wouldn't be fair if you don't see what I'm packing now, would it....?"

"Huh....? What do you mean....?" she panted lightly. Her body was reacting to his touch, and it was starting to feel good to her. She didn't get it.

"Heh.... even though I'm in my human disguise, my penis is a little different," he grinned. "Forgot to mention one thing.... my demonic instincts become too strong whenever I'm aroused. Meaning, I'd shift into my true form if I want to fuck and right now, I'm trying hard not to do that." Rukia shuddered at the thought of it. To see Renji's manhood in full view.... she had never seen a man's one before. "Huh? You're squeezing around my thumb. Are you really thinking about seeing my dick?" he teased.

"N-no way...." she panted. But Renji smirked as he slipped his thumb out and stood up.

"Think you are... your baby hole is practically gaping for hunger," he purred, eyeing at the entrance that was winking a little. "I don't blame you, your arousal's more than enough to prove that you're willing to become my wife," he added as he then sucked at his soaked thumb, but Rukia shook her head.

"It's not true...." she mumbled until she heard a dull sound of zipper being pulled down. She flinched and sat up in time to see the demon undoing his pants. For a second she wanted to tell him to stop but her mind seemed to prevent her from doing it. Why? Did she really wanted to see it despite of herself. She watched with wide eyes, as Renji fished into the slit of his boxers.

".... Here it is," he rumbled, pulling out his lax member and Rukia shivered at the sight of it. It was big, even not aroused, and it appeared heavy even in the demon's large hand. The skin on it was a bit darker and seemed loose and wrinkled, with the tip covered by the foreskin. The teen girl gulped, Renji wasn't outwardly aroused but the size of it was making her apprehensive. "See this, Rukia? Do you understand the point of our marriage, of what we're supposed to do?" he grinned, enjoying the look on her face.

"....But...." Rukia was lost for words, staring at the limp manhood in disbelief. That thing could not fit her, her internal organs might get crushed from something like that. And yet.... she felt her lower regions tingling at the thought of it inside her. It didn't make sense to her.

"Fuck, you're getting more aroused from seeing this....?" Renji growled softly as he inhaled. "Heh, I expected that from a young teenager like you. It makes me wonder.... if you want to give it a try, Rukia."

"What?! N-no, I really don't--" Rukia stammered, but she was suddenly pushed back down on the mattress by the demon, who already positioned himself between her legs. "Ahh! Ah...!" She felt the penis pressed against her soaked womanhood, before Renji plopped the organ onto her stomach.

"Damn, it's just past your navel and I'm not even standing tall," he smirked.

"Please....! I don't want to do this now....!" she whimpered.

"Are you sure? I just want to put the tip inside to see if it could fit," he joked, tugging the foreskin back to reveal a reddened tip at her. "My dick's so hungry for a lovely virgin like yourself. It's not like I'll knock you up right this second."

"No...!" She shuddered and clamped her hands over her eyes. "Not like this, please..." Renji growled but leaned down to suddenly nuzzle against her cheek.

"I already told you.... I'm not a monster who's simply going to rape you out of your innocence," he rumbled. "Like I said, I'll wait until our wedding night so I can have truly have you. And then soon afterwards, you will fufill your duty as wife and present yourself to me whenever I'm in the mood for it. And if you become pregnant before you finish high school, that's fine by me as long as the contract stands...." With that, he planted a soft kiss against her cheek, and Rukia nearly flinched by that action.

She hesitantly removed her hands to see that Renji moving away from her, tucking his manhood back into his pants. She was utterly confused by his demeanor, one second he would joke around and then the next he would become dominating and threatening. "Jeez, I'm running late for work," the nue demon sighed. "The downside of running business...." He glanced at Rukia, who felt exhausted from the episode, and smirked lightly. "Please don't worry about it too much, Rukia," he said. "If you do get pregnant during high school, that would be my fault on it."

"Huh....?" Rukia frowned as she sat up. "What... do you mean by that?"

"It's my natural instinct to mate a female whenever she's 'in heat', that's why I asked the last time you had your period," he sighed. "Can't have you carrying my kid after just one fuck, that's too dangerous for your body to handle so soon."

".... I don't get you," she mumbled.

"Hmm?"

"Why do you act so concerned about me, when you only see me as baby-maker....?" she asked with an apprehensive frown. Renji glanced at her but simply shrugged as he walked up to the closed door.

"Making children is actually the second thing that I'm concerned about.... I just want you to get used to having me as your husband and protector," he replied quietly and Rukia blinked at that. "After we're married, you can still stay home. I don't want to make you feel miserable for being with me, that's all...."

He opened the door and muttered a 'see you later' before leaving the room, leaving Rukia alone as she fixed her shirt. Maybe his demonic side often comes out at a bad time, that could explain the confusion she was having about him. So he didn't really see her as an opportunity to repopulate the nue race. He wanted her to know that she still had her freedom during the marriage.

But that was hard to believe it, when he had just toyed with her womanhood earlier. She glanced down at herself before gingerly touching between the lips. It felt sticky from her secretion, but she didn't like it. To get aroused by Renji molesting her was making her mind in a tizzy. But instead of feeling ashamed like before, she only felt odd from his touch.

Maybe it was teenage hormones that were going in a different direction, but she was still afraid of her virginity being taken away this coming weekend.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Ichigo grimaced at the food Grimmjow was hoping to buy. He knew that his diet was different from most, but having nothing but beef liver slices and raw chicken pieces in the shopping basket seemed weird to the average person's mind. "Is that all you're gonna eat for this week, Grimmjow?" she frowned, watching him picking up a package of ground turkey.

"This week? These meat are gonna last me for the next couple of days," he huffed.

"All of that? That's over 5,000 yen's worth of meat, and you're gonna eat that for two days?" she scoffed in disbelief.

"Of course, I've been so hungry but I didn't want to bother Yuzu about it," he sighed.

"She wouldn't mind," Ichigo smiled lightly as they wandered down the meat aisle. Out of the corner of her eyes, she had been noticing curious but wary stares on Grimmjow. He would look out of place considering that he was taller than most Japanese men and his facial expression was intimidating to the eye. "Oh.... let's get this one also, Grimmjow," she suggested, picking up packaged hamburger patties. "We could make burgers for the weekend."

"Hmm.... I know what they are but I don't like the smell of it," he shrugged. "They put too much salt and spices on it and cook it too much to the point of burning. Plus they like to add gross stuff like-- what, mayo or something?"

"Mayo's not gross, at least not all the time," she laughed a little, putting the food into the basket. "Tell you what.... I'll make you a burger for yourself. If that's what you want...." Grimmjow turned to her in slight surprise, his eyes appearing curious thanks to his quirky cat behavior.

".... I don't really like my meat cooked, though," he nodded. "But.... I'm willing to try it if you're making it."

"That's good to know," grinned the teen girl. "And instead of that nasty mayo, I could top it with eggs since you like it so much." Grimmjow almost purred out in excitement but quickly suppressed it with a light smirk.

"Very observant of you, kid," he smirked.

"I remembered you eating it night and day when I was a little kid, that's all." Sticking her hands into her pockets, Ichigo suddenly touched her phone. She realized that she hadn't called Rukia all day and she frowned. She needed to do it, wondering why her friend was really sick. "Give me a second, Grimmjow, I need to call Rukia," she sighed.

"That girl? I was wondering why she wasn't with you today," he muttered. "Okay, I'm gonna be over there...." As the demon wandered to another aisle, Ichigo took out her phone and quickly dialed the number. She wanted to find out if Rukia really was ill, and if so, she wanted to know why she hadn't been notified about it. She heard the ringing about four or five times, until suddenly the voicemail came up.

"This is Rukia Kuchiki, please leave a message...."

"Leave a message....?" she frowned in surprise as she heard a beep. "Uh.... Rukia, this is Ichigo. I was wondering why you weren't at school," she muttered. "I just wanted to know if you're feeling okay since you're sick and all. I'll talk to you later, okay....?" She ended the call, and let out a deep sigh. Something must be wrong if Rukia didn't bother to answer her. Maybe she could go to her house to see what was the matter, but she was still on punishment for going against her father's words.

She was only getting off for today because she was helping Grimmjow with the grocery. But if she can convince her father to see her tomorrow, she could talk to her friend.

"You're done, Ichigo?" Grimmjow muttered, coming back to the aisle with five cartons of eggs tucked under his arms.

"Yeah.... Rukia's sick, and I wanted to know if I could see her tomorrow," she sighed, putting away her phone. "But I'm not sure if Dad's gonna let me. Considering that I acted like an asshole to you."

"Nah, I don't think so," he shook his head. "Shiba wouldn't act so mean to forbid you from seeing your friend. If you're that concerned, then ask for his permission. I'm sure he won't mind."

"Yeah...." she nodded, but she was still worried. There was nothing she could do about it for now.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"Sorry, but you can't go, Ichigo...." Isshin frowned, the moment the teen got home and went straight to his clinic office. "I know you're worried about your friend, but it's only the first day that she's sick."

"That's what I'm talking about," Ichigo said. "Her being sick is what's making me worried, she was never ill before as long as I had known her."

"I understand your concern," he sighed. "However, my punishment still stands. You're grounded for the next couple of weeks, meaning that you cannot go to your friend. You can try to talk to her over the phone, but that's it."

"But...." Ichigo sighed in defeat. She didn't want to argue against her father, just when she had just mended her relationship with Grimmjow. "Okay, Dad.... I'll do what you say," she muttered, turning to leave.

"I'm not doing this out of spite, darling," he said. "It's for your own good. You need to learn how to be a better hunter once the punishment's over."

"I know that...." As she left the office, her frowned deepened. So there was no way that she could visit Rukia. Walking into the kitchen, she saw the cat demon by the table munching on the raw liver he bought. "You're eating it raw....?" she frowned at him.

"Yeah.... though it's not really fresh," he mumbled, gnawing on the squishy organ. "I like it better coming from a newly killed game, though, but this is all I can have." Licking his lips, he glanced up at Ichigo and frowned when he noticed her disheartened expression. "Didn't turn out so well, huh?"

"Nope...."

"Well.... as much as I wanted to help you out, I agree with Shiba," he sighed. "It wouldn't be fair to break off the punishment against just because you want to do things yourself. So don't worry about it so much, okay....?"

"All right, Grimmjow. I'm.... just gonna do my homework," she muttered as she walked out of the kitchen. "Call me when dinner's ready...."

Grimmjow frowned and let out a deep sigh. He wanted to help in any way, but he had to agree with Isshin and let her deal with the punishment. He wished he could find a way to make her feel better. "Shit... hunter or not, humans get ill so easily," he mumbled as he resumed eating.

A few days passed and Rukia had yet to return to school. Even more so, she hadn't called back Ichigo, who was getting more worried. She didn't bother her father again into letting her visit, knowing that would bring more trouble to her. Not that she was a true loner within the school, but she felt more connection to her because they came from great families of hunters. She could never relate to the 'normal' classmates even if she wanted to.

She didn't like it one bit. She doesn't believe that Rukia was truly sick, as she had attempted to call the Kuchiki residence instead of her friend's cell. Like before, she was told that Rukia couldn't be bothered due to her unknown ailment, and she couldn't help but feel rather suspicious about it. The dismissal bell rang, and several student got up to leave. Eventually, she grabbed her bag and got up, before going with the crowd for the exit.

The students were already used to seeing Grimmjow standing by the school gate by now, though some of the girls would attempt to talk to him before they ran away with embarrassed giggles. Grimmjow merely rolled his eyes but saw Ichigo walking up to him. "Hey there, Ichigo.... you're doing okay?" he muttered as they began walking.

"Somewhat...." frowned Ichigo, and the demon saw her brooding expression.

".... You still haven't get in touch with her, huh?" he asked.

"No.... not even the servants working in the house will give me the right answer," she mumbled.

"Hmm, don't worry about it too much, Ichigo," he sighed. "Don't know how illnesses affect humans since I've rarely get sick myself. But if it's that serious, then maybe Rukia can't be bothered by you."

".... Still.... I know her, she would have tried to call me regardless of it," sighed Ichigo.

"Goodness, kid, you act like she's the only friend you have," he commented before he realized what he had said and glanced at her. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that--"

"I know.... but that much is true, Grimmjow," she replied quietly. "I'm not like the rest of them, I can see the true things that no normal human can. They don't know that there are demons are walking among us, including you, and that I'm a hunter who have to kill those who stray."

"Yeah...."

"Even growing up.... I couldn't tell anyone that I could see them, thinking that I'm either crazy or I have too much imagination," she said as she looked at him. "Even you, Grimmjow.... I once told my kindergarten teacher that you were a cat demon with a crayon picture of you but she only dismissed it as make-believe that I created."

"Oh, I remembered that," he nodded. "It didn't look nothing like me, it looked like a big-headed cat with pointy teeth when you showed it to me." Ichigo laughed a little though it was a sad one.

"Don't know what happened to it though.... since you left," she muttered. Grimmjow frowned, he didn't want her to be sad right now when they are finally together.

".... Which way is Rukia's house again?" he suddenly asked as he stopped walking.

"Huh?" Ichigo stopped as well, and she saw him taking out his cell phone.

"Tell me, kid. It's been a while since I last went there," he muttered.

"Uh, it's to the east of our route home, but I don't get why-- wait, what're you doing, Grimmjow?" she frowned, noticing him dialing up a number.

"Just a second...." sighed Grimmjow as he held the phone to his ear. ".... Shiba, it's me...." he greeted much to Ichigo's surprise. "I was just wondering if I could take Ichigo to one of those fast food places for a quick bite.... Okay, we won't take long before going home anyway, see you later."

"Huh? Grimmjow, what did you do?" frowned Ichigo once the demon hang up his phone.

"Giving you the opportunity to see your friend, kid," he smirked at her.

"But-- I'll get in trouble for it, Grimmjow," she frowned in confusion.

"What are you talking about, you can't get in trouble if nobody tells your idiot father," he replied with a sly wink. "Come on.... we should get going, kid. I'm sure Rukia could give you an explanation out of all of this bullshit."

".... Yeah, let's go...." she smiled as she led the way.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Though Karakura Town wasn't that big, the route to Rukia's home was longer than expected due to the seclusion of the wealthier area at the edge of the city. Ichigo and Grimmjow walked through the very quiet neighborhood, passing by the large Japanese-style manors with high walls and gates surrounding them. Habitually, the cat demon scanned his surrounding. He often wondered why a rich girl like Rukia would rather walked back and forth to school rather than being driven around in a limo but remembered that she was different from the rest.

Much like Ichigo, who frowned as she thought about how to confront her friend. She had already tried several times to call her but it was going nowhere. This was her last chance to do this, as she turned around the corner of a street. All of the sudden, she felt an odd disturbance in the air. Apparently, Grimmjow seemed to feel it as well and froze in surprise, letting out a low growl.

"You felt it too, Grimmjow....?" she muttered as she turned to him.

"Feel it? I could smell a demon nearby," growled Grimmjow, his cyan eyes narrowed as he looked around. Ichigo's eyes widened, why would there be a demon in this area?

"Damn it, how could that be?" she scowled. "Maybe we could find out by tracking it--"

"No, it's the same one, that fucking monkey who tried to kill me," he growled lowly, baring his teeth at the thought of that confrontation.

"Wait, you mean Renji....?" she frowned in disbelief.

"And his scent.... it's right where we're going, to Rukia's house," he gritted. "What the fuck's going on here? Why is he even here in the first place....?" Ichigo's eyebrows tensed, she remembered Byakuya mentioning that Renji was supposed to meet him. But that was days ago, so was there a reason he was around the Kuchiki residence? ".... Let's go, Ichigo, we can't be here," growled Grimmjow.

"Right, we can't confront him and get in trouble again--" Ichigo agreed.

"No, I meant that we should still go," he rumbled, and she blinked at him in surprise. "Even if that monkey's associated with the clan or not, we shouldn't be intimidatied by his presence. Not when you have questions to be answered."

"But...." Ichigo frowned before reluctantly nodding. She hadn't seen the nue demon since that confrontation, but she wasn't sure why a monster like him had anything to do with the Kuchiki clan.

"Come on, we need to be careful about it...." he huffed, going to the direction of the scent.

"All right...." Slowly, they walked, not wanting to bring alarm to their own presences. Grimmjow was trying his hardest not to let his own personal feelings flare out, demon or not, sniffing the air as they turned another corner. There, they froze almost immediately and Ichigo stared at the walking figure.

Sure enough, it really was Renji, though he didn't appear as the strong demon as he had before. Her initial opinion of him looking dorky was true, as he was carrying two boxes of donuts in his arms as he distractedly munched on one. And they were right.... he was going to the Kuchiki manor as he walked down the street. "Shit...." frowned Ichigo.

"Ichigo.... I'll go on the walls and the trees, I'll be right behind you...." Grimmjow rumbled quietly. "Just be careful...."

"Okay...." she nodded. Grimmjow nodded back before he leapt onto the high wall with ease. Ichigo watched him walk evenly, before she moved ahead. As soon as she got across the street, Renji seemed to sense her right away, as he looked over his shoulder.

".... Fuck, can't you just leave me alone for a change?" he grumbled, jelly stained around his mouth after taking a bite of his treat. Ichigo just frowned as she took a couple of steps forward.

"Believe me, you're the last guy I wanted to come across...." she frowned. "I'm only surprised that you're around here, just when I was about to visit Rukia."

"Rukia? Oh right, you guys are friends," Renji realized, as he resumed eating. "But.... do you have to bring Whiskers along just for a friendly visit?" he added, seeing the cat demon right behind her on the high wall. Grimmjow, with his hands in his jeans pockets, responded with a lot threatening growl and bared his sharp teeth but that was ignored as the nue turned his eyes back to Ichigo.

"To be honest, I'm supposed to be grounded right now because I picked a fight with you," she answered. "It's just that.... I was told that Rukia was feeling sick and would be out of school for the week. I just really wanted to see with my own eyes if she is really okay." Finishing one last bite of his jelly donut, Renji blinked in mild surprise and cocked his head.

".... Sick, you say....?" he muttered.

"Well, of course," frowned Ichigo. "I called the Kuchiki residence but they didn't answer. That's why I'm here."

".... Huh, so that's why she's staying home," mumbled Renji. Ichigo blinked at his words and her frown deepened in confusion.

"Staying home....? What do you mean by that?" she scoffed. "Is Rukia really sick? Or is there something you're not telling me, Renji?"

"What is there to tell you?" he frowned back.

"I thought you were associating with Byakuya, from the last time I've heard," she argued. "And why does Rukia have to do with you, for that matter?"

"Ichigo...." Grimmjow warned with a growl. But Renji sighed tiredly before shaking his head, as he opened the pastry box to take out another jelly donut.

"Fine then, if you must know...." he muttered, teeth ripping into the baked dough. "The reason Rukia hasn't been coming to school and ignoring your calls.... is because she's being prepared to get married." His answer rung loudly in Ichigo's ear, as she felt her jaw dropped in sheer shock.

"M-married....? As in, Rukia's being betrothed and her family's going along with it?" she gasped in disbelief.

"Her family's rich and old-fashioned, what do you expect?"

"But.... that can't be right! Rukia can't go along with it!" she scoffed. "How can she get married to someone she doesn't even know?! This isn't like her at all!"

"Well, it is called arranged marriage after all," frowned Renji. "She's getting married and that's that, little girl."

"What? What do you know?! Why does it have to do with you of all people?!"

"For one thing.... you're talking to her future husband, she's getting married to me...." he revealed, and Ichigo halted her ranting. It felt a brick had struck her heart as she stared at the nue demon with widened eyes. It couldn't be.... the same beast who toyed with her and nearly killed Grimmjow was going to take her friend as his bride....?

".... You're lying," she muttered but her voice quivered a little.

"Tch, why do you think I'm associated with the Kuchiki clan? That Byakuya stopped our fight because he can't have me bothered?" Renji questioned. "It's because I made a contract with his family a long time ago. I only want one thing out of that family, after I saved that ancestor of theirs over a century back."

".... You want Rukia...." she realized.

"Technically, I wanted the first direct female descendant of the Kuchiki family," he corrected her. "But after generations of nothing but males in the main branch, your friend's unfortunately gonna be my wife. I can't change that, that's the obligation of the contract."

"Then.... then I'll find a way to break that stupid contract--"

"You don't get it.... this deal was sealed with blood, little girl," he scoffed. "The only way to officially break it is if I either die or the entire clan is dead. And if someone dares to break it, then her family has to pay. You think Rukia would like it that I kill her brother if that were to happen....?"

"What....?" Ichigo gasped. This wasn't right, Rukia would suffer either way but she doesn't want this happening to her friend. Watching in silence, Grimmjow frowned in disbelief. Like them, that petite girl was bound to Renji with a blood contract but this was different. She was being forced into marriage to that nue, all because of some ancestor who acted cowardly before him.

But.... for some reason, it almost felt similar to the contract he has with Ichigo. Something he doesn't want to think about right now.

".... So now what? Am I supposed to stand by and watch as you take my friend away?" she frowned. Renji just gazed at her, munching the donut but he shook his head.

"We're getting married.... but she's still young," he mumbled with his mouth full. "I rather have her stay home for the time being. And don't worry about it too much, she'll still be your friend and go to school with you. Maybe that's why she hadn't answered your calls. Knowing you, you'd come bashing in with murder on your mind...."

"I.... well, that much is true," she grumbled. "I wouldn't hesitate to cut you down. Mostly because I find it hard to believe that she's going to marry to someone like you." At that, Renji smirked a little.

"Is that right? Guess our first impressions to one another was rather bad the last time," he smirked. "And I guess me poisoning your partner was a dick move on my part. Maybe I hope we could get that past us for your friend's sake, right?"

".... I don't know...."

"You can forgive me sooner or later, but that's your decision," he grinned before glancing at Grimmjow. "Am I right, Whiskers? No hard feelings, right?"

"Fuck off," came Grimmjow's growling response as he bared his teeth.

"Fine.... sulk all you want, but I'll promise not to harm her in any way," he said as he turned back to Ichigo. "I'm not a terrible demon, it's just that if I'm being threatened then I must fight. That's the instincts of us demons, you should know that and so does your sour-faced partner up there."

".... I don't want Rukia to get hurt from all of this, either," replied Ichigo. "And you're right, I would kill you if you dare to harm her. But.... if you have your word on it, then I have no choice but to believe you."

"Tch...." Grimmjow scoffed under his breath. He didn't believe any word at all from that nue, not when he nearly died from that venom of his.

"Of course, Ichigo. As her future husband, it's my duty to protect her, after all....!" he grinned though Ichigo grimaced at his goofy demeanor. "Well, if that's all you have to say then here. You can have some of my snacks...."

"Huh....?"

"Here, hold out your hands," he muttered, opening the box to take out two chocolate frosted donuts.

"Uh.... okay...?" Ichigo frowned in slight confusion but stepped forward with her hands extended. Grimmjow growled in warning, but nothing happened when the teen took the donuts. "Thanks, I think...." she muttered.

"Just wanna get off at the right foot," nodded Renji. "It's the monkey part of me, I wanna socialize to avoid creating enemies. But I doubt I can ever be friends with someone who's burning holes at my head." With another bite, he turned to leave, but not without one last look at Ichigo. "Later, Ichigo.... hope we can talk again," he grinned.

"Uhh, I guess so...." Ichigo muttered, watching the nue walking away. She wasn't sure what to make of him, when before she only saw him as another beast who wanted to lure humans in. Then again, she was acting biased against him so she doesn't really know his true personality. If he was a human, she would have seen him as some dummy.

"Are you really gonna accept that, Ichigo?" Grimmjow scoffed as he leapt off the wall and landed beside her almost without a sound. "Throw those away, they're no good if he touched them."

"Grimmjow, calm down...." she frowned at him. "I'm mostly concerned about Rukia, for that matter. I just really can't believe that she's getting married to some demon. And it happened to be the one we went against."

"More like you who went against him, you acted like a fool to even mess with him," he grumbled.

"All right, I get it. But still.... I can only hope that Rukia's okay about this," she sighed deeply. "I just couldn't imagine her feeling scared about it, to be with a demon for the rest of her life...." Grimmjow looked at her and frowned, before letting out a deep sigh.

".... We should get home, Shiba'd get suspicious if we take too long," he muttered.

"All right," nodded Ichigo as they turned to leave. She wished she could talk to Rukia right now, to see if she could comfort her. But it was out of her hands, as this was the business of her and her family alone to deal with. "Hmm...." she sighed, deciding to nibble on one of the donuts.

"Hey, you shouldn't eat that crap that stupid monkey gave you," scoffed Grimmjow when he noticed her eating.

"I'm hungry anyway, you promised to get me burgers," she mumbled.

"I only said that as a lie," he huffed.

"Lie or not, I'm hungry."

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"There you are.... thought you were hiding in your room." Standing by the koi pond in the garden, Rukia looked up in surprise to see Renji stepping out with a grin on his face. She sensed his aura calm and sure, believing that he was in a good mood, before noticing the donut boxes in his hands. "Brought us some snacks. Do you want some....?" he asked as he as he sat down on the platformed floor of the outdoor hallway.

"Uh.... I'm not really hungry," she muttered. Renji blinked at her but shrugged as he took out a custard-filled donut.

"More for me, then...." he sighed. "But still, sit by me. I got something to tell you, Rukia."

Rukia blinked at that, wondering what he meant by that, but nodded a little as she walked up to him and sat down with the boxes separating their distance. ".... Saw your friend a moment ago. Ichigo, was it?" he asked, taking a bite.

"Huh? Ichigo....?" she frowned in surprise and confusion and looked up at him.

"Actually, she ran into me, coming to your house," he muttered as he glanced at her. "She wanted to see if you're okay, being that you're 'sick' and all."

"Oh.... I see," she frowned as she looked down at her lap.

"That was a stupid lie, even I was surprised by that," he replied. "Didn't have a choice but to tell her the truth." He saw her flinch from his comment and frowned. "You're that ashamed that you didn't tell your friend, that you're betrothed to me due to the contract....?"

".... I didn't want her to worry, that's all," she sighed.

"I could understand that," he muttered, eating his snack. "But.... I wonder how you will tell her that you have to carry my children," he added and again Rukia flinched by that.

".... You didn't tell her?"

"I spared her feelings for your sake, Rukia," he replied. "We both know how bad that would be if she were to find out, she would probably tried to castrate me if that was the case. But you could keep it as a secret until, you know, your stomach becomes too noticeable to hide."

"Please stop joking around," she frowned at him. But Renji snorted before leaning close to her, hearing her heartbeats rising out of apprehension.

"Joking or not, I already told you that I have to prepare your body in order to have my offsprings," he muttered quietly. "So whether it means that we must fuck every day or only a few times a week, if you get knocked up in the process, I'll make sure that you're all right during the pregnancy."

"Despite of my age or even my size....?" she questioned, looking away. "I can't be a mother at fifteen...."

"Why not? It was pretty common back in my day," he said.

"A different era then, we usually wait until we have everything in order," she said.

"But the contract stands nonetheless," sighed Renji, licking his lips after finishing his food. "Back then, my bride has to be young so she could be fertile. I think I mentioned fourteen or fifteen, but I guess I was right with the latter." He glanced at her again, subtly noticing that she wasn't a bra underneath her sundress, with the outlines of her nipples were obvious under the snug cotton fabric. The sudden thought of running his tongue over them was making his instincts rile in his mind. He wanted to suppress it, but a new thought suddenly popped up.

That his future wife's breasts would become large and leaking with milk during and after her pregnancy. He wondered how it will taste, to feel the creamy substance on his tongue even though it meant for his offsprings. He sighed loudly to get out his imagination, before standing up. "I ate enough for the day.... think I'll hit the shower," he sighed.

"Oh.... okay then," Rukia muttered. She watched him go inside, before she looked at the pond. She expected that she has to marry young, considering that the contract was written before Japan became fully westernized. But her concerns shifted to Ichigo. Maybe she should have responded to her texts and voicemails, to let her know that she was okay, then she wouldn't have to feel so shameful about her ordeal.

After sitting in silence for a while, she decidedly reached inside the mostly empty donut box and picked a strawberry-frosted one. "Can't believe he wasted one full box plus three more just to settle things with me...."
