The smell of breakfast woke her up early the next morning, as it had for the last few weeks. Tatsuki sighed and stretched as she slowly pulled herself out of the futon and grabbed a near by yukuta.

She walked into the small kitchen/dinning room, tying the belt off and came up behind the one waking her to such a succulent smell.

�Good morning.� She greeted, pouring herself a cup of tea from the pot kept warming on the stove.

�Good morning.� Tesra returned, expertly flipping the omelette he was preparing.

Tatsuki just shook her head. Sure she could make omelettes as well, but his were always perfectly formed and somehow always tasted better then anything she could make.

�How in the seven hells were you single for so long?� She asked, settling down at the table.

�Most of my time was devoted to Nnoitra-sama.� He answered.

�A lose for the female population.�

She smirked as she caught the barest hint of a blush. He was so easy to tease and she loved every minute of it. She hadn�t had this much fun since Ichigo was a snot nosed brat before his mother was murdered.

�I need to check up on Matsumoto-san and get her shopping list for the week.� He paused for a moment. �I would be pleased if you could come.�

�It shouldn�t be a problem. I believe Orihime-chan is suppose to be helping Unohana-san out at the fourth. Since the battle she has been spending a lot of time there and Ulquiorra seems to approve.�

�The fourth is probably the second or third most secure place here.� He admitted.

�Oh. What�s the other place, other then Aizen�s palace of course?�

�Szayel-sama�s Research Institute.�

�Of course, how silly of me. Although I must admit I have never been there. Other then Ukitake-san�s Estate and the house Ulquiorra owns, I really haven�t seen much of Soul Society.�

She smiled widely when Tesra set a plate down before her, the omelette looking positively exquisite. She took a bite, closed her eyes in pleasure and hummed in appreciation, savouring the flavour.

She cracked one eye open to see him blushing again and bristling. Oh he was far more fun to torment than Ichigo had been as a kid. The thought of eggs did bring one thing to mind though.

Tesra had offered to let her have his room and he would take the living room, at least until he could find a place with two rooms, but she had brushed the offer off. She was more then willing to share his bed and with the weather getting colder the extra body heat was kind of nice.

Despite the fact that he now technically owned her, he still seemed to remain a bit shy and hadn�t demanded a thing from her, even though she new that he most definitely found her attractive.

So far they had only enjoyed each other once since the Claiming, and she had been the one to instigate it since he was clearly going to shift uncomfortably all night instead of make a move and it had been driving her nuts.

�You know, I don�t mind sharing your bed, and I mean more than just sleeping, but there is one thing I do want to bring up.�

�What is it?� He asked nervously.

�No offence Tesra, but I don�t want kids anytime soon. There is enough going on around here as it is without mixing in a child. Do you know what a condom is?� She asked.

His face was bright red and he shook his head in the negative.

�Of course not.� She sighed. �Given the birth rate of Hollows they are probably pretty much obsolete. Unlike with Orihime, I am really not that stressed and neither was Karin. Human�s have a much higher fertility rate. I don�t mind having sex with you, but I do not want to get pregnant.�

�And this, Condom, will prevent that?� He asked in a rather squeaky voice.

�They have a pretty impressive track record.� She confirmed. �They are basically a plastic tube you put over yourself to catch the semen so it doesn�t go into me.�

�Oh.� He seemed a lot less nervous at her description. �What the hell did he think a condom was?� She questioned herself. �Anyway, I am sure Matsumoto will know where we can get some. I�ll ask her while we visit.�

He nodded and sat down across from her, setting his own plate down and they ate in companionable silence.

　

　

　

�No way. That�s amazing.� Matsumoto exclaimed happily and pulled Tatsuki into a large hug.

�Yeah yeah.� Tatsuki pushed the older woman off of her. �So anyway, you know where we can get some?�

�Of course. As well as some other things?� Matsumoto suggested with a smirk and raise eyebrows.

�Just the basics will do.� Tatsuki was quick to assure her.

�You are no fun.� She pouted.

�I have long since become immune to such pouting. By the way, what�s with the chain?� Tatsuki pointed to the gold chain.

�One of Nnoitra�s fetishes. He only ever lets me take the damn thing off the rare times I am permitted out of the house.� Matsumoto sighed in frustration. �He�s been rather frisky lately. What has been going on out there?�

�Bugs.� Tatsuki sighed. �Oh, I still got to return Starrk-san�s Katana!� She realized in surprise.

�Why would you have his Katana?� Matsumoto asked.

�Long story.�

�Unless hell is freezing over or the world is ending, I am not going anywhere anytime soon.�

�I was going to go with Tesra to see a bit of the town�.� She trailed off, looking his way.

He had been very silent as the two women had talked. Tatsuki had quickly learned he was the silent type, but she had a feeling his silence was due more to his mortification over the fact the two women were talking about sex, particularly sex that involved him, than the fact he wasn�t very talkative.

�I can show you another day.� He was quick to offer.

�True.� Tatsuki agreed. �I see now. Poor Matsumoto. She has been caged up in this house alone for the heavens knows how long with nothing but an egotistical pig and the most shy creature I have ever met as company.�

�Well then, we will see you in a bit.� She agreed.

Tatsuki�s guess was right. The moment Tesra was gone Matsumto dived right into �female talk� like she had been starved for years, which given her company she probably had been.

She demanded every tidbit of gossip Tatsuki knew, which while it wasn�t much, was still a novels worth more than the caged woman knew.

�Those two are so cute together, and probably the only consensual relationship in this forsaken city.� Matsumoto sighed as Tatsuki finished catching her up on Karin and her family.

�Oh?�

�Well, other than you and Tesra. I still can�t believe you asked him. �

�Hay, if you guys had told me what Claiming felt like I would have been nipping at an Arrancar�s heels ages ago. Just wow. I wasn�t sure what to expect from my first time, but that sure as hell was not it!�

�Their only redeemable quality.� Matsumoto chuckled. �Still, it is good to hear that Orihime and Ulquiorra are getting along so well. That poor girl has had such a hard time for one so young.�

�Yeah.� Tatsuki agreed sadly, having been there for a fair amount of it.

�So, do you think you will be able to accompany Tesra over again?� Matsumoto asked with uncharacteristic hope.

�I don�t see why not. Now that I think about it, I got a feeling one of the reasons he was so willing to accept my request was due to this little perk of being able to drag me here.�

�For a Hollow, he is such a darling. Oh shit.� Matsumoto suddenly yelped.

�What?� Tatsuki jumped to her feet in alarm.

�I got to get started on dinner before Nnoitra get�s back. What in the world am I going to make?�

�How much time you got?� Tatsuki asked.

�Half an hour, min.�

�What do you got to work with?� Tatsuki asked as both women quickly ducked into he kitchen.

Matsumoto read out what she had to work with while Tatsuki quickly planned. She was a master of the 30 minute meal having been exceptionally busy with sports and school when she was younger.

�Get the rice going, that will take the longest.�

�But what are we going to make with it?� She asked, pouring water into a pot and measuring out the rice.

�Stir-fry is the fastest.� Tatsuki answered, pulling vegetables out of the fridge. �And I will even share my mothers secret ingredient. Does Nnoitra like spicy foods?�

�I don�t know. I have never cooked any.�

The sound of the door opening caused both of them to jump slightly in surprise before Tesra walked into the kitchen loaded with bags.

�Does Nnoitra like spicy food?� Tatsuki asked him.

�Hai.� He answered.

�Perfect. Okay, you slice up the beef and I�ll get these vegetables going after I get the secret sauce started.�

�Alright.�

Tesra finished bringing the supplies he had picked up into the house while Tatsuki set two woks on the stove and set to work. She hummed as she got the sauce going in one and the oil heating in the other before setting onto the vegetables with a skill only a person well trained with a knife could accomplish.

�Marital arts, good for self defence, good for exercise and good in the kitchen.� She advertised like a late night commercial.

Matsumoto laughed as Tatsuki made exaggerated motions with the knife as she sliced up the vegetables.

�Meats cut.�

�Good, looks like the sauce is bubbling nicely. Throw the meat in the wok with the oil. It should be heated by now so be careful of it spitting.�

�Aye aye, Cap�n.� She saluted smartly and scraped the meat from her board into the Wok.

Tatsuki finished up the red peppers and scraped them into the bowl she had been storing the prepared vegetables in before starting on the onion.

�Meats done.�

�Perfect.� Tatsuki passed the bowl of finished vegetables over. �Add that and turn the heat down. How we doing on time?�

�I would say about ten minutes, since a shower still sounds nice.�

Both girls jumped and yelped in shock as they turned to face the entranceway to the kitchen. Nnoitra was leaning against the door frame and grinning at them while Tesra stood meekly to the side.

�Welcome home, Nnoitra-sama.� Matsumoto greeted him warmly.

Tatsuki couldn�t tell if it was real or fake, but either way it seemed to appease Nnoitra for his smirk widened and he disappeared up the stairs.

�Shit, the sauce.� Tatsuki quickly turned about and turned the heat down, giving it a good stir. �How long was he standing there?� She asked, directing the question to Tesra.

�Since you put the meat in the wok.� He admitted.

�He didn�t seem upset I didn�t notice he was home, did he?� Matsumoto asked nervously.

�No. Nnoitra-sama seemed amused if anything.�

Matsumoto let out a sigh of relief before checking on the rice.

�Is there a good, drinking, red wine around?� Tatsuki asked.

�Not here, no.� Matsumoto answered.

�I will pick one up. There is a shop not far from here.� Tesra offered.

�Perfect. Red goes the best with beef. Okay, this looks just about ready. Let�s drain the vegetables and beef and add the sauce.�

�Drain them?� Matsumoto looked at her in surprise.

�Yes, otherwise there is too much liquid and it will go mushy.�

�Oh. I never thought of that.�

�Here, dump it in here.� Tatsuki held out a clean bowl and Matsumoto dumped the stir-fry into it.

Tatsuki took the wok of sauce and poured it liberally over the food before grabbing a serving spoon and mixing it together. Matsumoto set the wicker basket of rice in the center of the table while Tatsuki came up behind her with the stir-fry.

Tesra came back in and handed Tatsuki the bottle of wine.

�Perfect. Glasses?�

�Right here.� Matsumoto handed her over four glasses.

By the time they finished setting the table Nnoitra was coming back down the stairs wearing a comfortable, white yukuta with his hair down and still damp.

He sat down and Matsumoto sat to his left. Tatsuki gave a mental shrug and sat to his right while Tesra took the other end of the small table. Nnoitra served himself first, taking a liberal portion and if Tatsuki hadn�t seen and witnessed how much an Arrancar could pack back, she would have thought he was nuts.

Matsumoto helped herself next. Tatsuki paused a moment and considered what she knew of Nnoitra and his personality. Other than Karin complaining he was a sexist pig, she really didn�t know much about him.

Sexist pigs she did know a bit about and thus she waited until Tesra served himself before filling her own plate. Since she was clearly the servant of the servant she fully expected to be the one on the bottom.

Everyone waited and watched a bit nervously as Nnoitra took the first bite of food and chewed slowly.

�Shit this is good!� He exclaimed as he swallowed. �What the hell did you put in here?� He demanded, his eye on her.

�A secret Arisawa ingredient.� She answered.

�And that would be?�

�Wasabi.� She smirked. �Just enough stirred in to give it some kick without overpowering the flavour.�

�I like it. You picked a half decent broad, Tesra.� Nnoitra commented.

�Thank you, Nnoitra-sama.� He blushed lightly and bowed his head.

The ice seemed to have been broken and the rest of dinner was consumed in comfortable silence. Tatsuki helped clean up dinner afterwards and shortly after that it was time to leave.

�That went rather well.� Matsumoto commented as she dried the last plate.

�Indeed.�

�Wasabi huh?�

�Just a little bit. It is one of those really powerful ingredients. Good for a stuffy nose too.� She chuckled.

�I will remember that. Thank you, for coming over and staying to chat.�

�Any time. Orihime has been busy at the fourth so it�s been getting a bit lonely for me as well.�

�Tatsuki.� Tesra called from the entrance.

�Coming, Tesra-sama.� She called. �Until the next time.�

�Yeah, later.�

The walk back home was silent and rather pleasant. The first district seemed to be the quietest and full of gardens and parks. Not surprising giving it was where most of the noble families lived.

The sound of insects buzzing might have been more pleasant if it didn�t come with the annoying memory of being covered in gore.

�A nice night.� Tatsuki was the first to break the silence.

�It is.� Tesra agreed.

�I still need to return Starrk-san�s katana.�

�We can stop by tomorrow if you like.� He offered.

�That would be nice.�

�We can also pick up some more clothes. I didn�t realized you had so little clothing.�

�Well, that�s Ulquiorra for you. He really doesn�t have much use for un-necessary possessions and I can not imagine going clothes shopping for two females is a pleasant experience for any male of any technical race.�

He nodded in understanding. Tatsuki had no doubt that Tesra had been the one to pick out Matsumoto�s wardrobe so she was pretty certain he knew exactly what she was talking about.

The rest of the walk was pleasant and they crawled into bed shortly after getting home. It was still a little strange having someone in bed next to her, but it was a kind of nice strange.

She was just getting ready to drift off to sleep when she felt him shift beside her. Hesitantly, his arm came around her body and he nestled up behind her, barely making contact and giving her plenty of space and opportunity to pull away.

She smiled softly and closed the distance between them, silently accepting his request for intimacy. She drifted off shortly after that, nestling into the warmth their combined body heat created.

　

　

Ah, the FLUFF, IT BURNS. Anyhow, hope you all enjoyed this cute little chapter.

Is it just me, or do people really not read the warnings? No one is forcing anyone to read something they are not comfortable with, and yet I do get the odd rant about it. The warnings are clearly marked, both in the summery and at the top of chapters so why would someone disregard them and than complain about it?

Anyhow, it just kind of leaves me baffled that people do that and than complain when they read something they didn�t like.

This weeks question: In the cannon Universe, who WOULD be the best person for Ukitake? I can�t help but to think he needs a woman in his life and I can not for the life of me think of someone to put him with other than maybe Unohana, but she is neck deep in her own troubles.

Next Chapter: Ajuga and Hana play with Starrk and we get to see some of what Orihime has been up to. I really do try to include Ulqui/hime, but he is such a royal pain to write.
