For the Love of a Shinigami

Disclaimer: I don't any part of Bleach or any of the characters; I am just borrowing them for a little fun.

Renji had one heck of a time trying to dodge all the captains and other squadrons of Soul Society, 'What the heck was I thinking, that bimbo tricked me into going outside, but why?' Running away from a bunch of guys trying to kill you gives a person a lot of time to think about what happened in his life up to this point. 'Rukia is safe with Ichigo, but I just don't know, I get the feeling that I have been purposely lead astray for some greater purpose, but what could that be?'

Little did Renji know that Rukia was far from hurt or injured, she was in euphoria due to the ministrations by Ichigo and the rest of the women in the hut. Taking one look inside it would be safe to say that any man would give their left leg to be in Ichigo's position. Bodies strewn everywhere, and the sounds coming from the hut were enough to make even the most devoted men think twice.

Although the gang had a great time and seemed to be able to last forever, the intrusion of individuals does put a crimp on one's love fest. "What are you women doing? He is a known felon, I insist you stop what you are doing immediately!"

"And what are you going to do about it? Your just a petty little peon who doesn't know his place in the scheme of things, now leave before I get really angry!" Not taking the hint, the peon charged at the group and for his trouble had his throat detached along with his head. "I told you to leave, now look what you made me do, hey Yoruichi-chan, don't have all the fun, leave me some."

"You had your fun Soi, didn't you enjoy beheading that man?"

"Well yeah, but still, I want some Ichigo too!" To say the other men were less then pleased to see their superior officer beheaded was an understatement, "Damn you woman, we will kill you for murdering our superior officer!" The men didn't get far, most were dead before they took more than two steps, "Like I told your stupid leader, you should of just left well enough alone. Now look what happened your all dead, you have no one to blame but yourselves."

"Uhh…..Soi did you really have to do that?"

"Of course, I mean if any of them got away then we could have been in big trouble."

"I guess, but what are we going to do with the mess?"
"Oh don't worry about that Ichigo-kun, I'll take care of it, or rather my men will take care of it." With a snap of her fingers Soi summoned a bunch of covert ninjas to clean up the bloody mess, within a few minutes the room was once again presentable. "A piece of cake, now let's get back to more important things."

More important things are different for different people, but one thing was for sure, Soi had her priorities in order, and Ichigo was at the top of the list. While the four women enjoyed Ichigo's company, two of the most powerful captains in Soul Society were heading toward their direction and Nanao-chan was following her lazy captain. "What are we doing Shunsui-san?"

"We are trying to find the missing ryoka and Rukia, I thought you knew that Nanao-chan."

"Don't embarrass her Shunsui, she is asking a fitting question, we are homing in on a build up of energy, it seems a number of high-energy individuals are converged in a hut not too far from here."

"What are we going to do when we find the ryoka? Are you going to let it go like last time Shunsui-san?"

"No, not this time Nanao-chan, we need to speak with him, his power is staggering and we must know how he is doing it."

The three leapt across the rooftops and all were lost in thought, Nanao wanted to know just how strong this ryoka was, from what she had seen ryoka had gotten more powerful lately. Shunsui was wondering the same thing, 'How can a normal ryoka, no matter how special, beat a seasoned captain?'

Ukitake was a more emotional person, he wanted to see his subordinate safe and sound, it didn't matter if she was in the company of a illegal ryoka.

Back to Ichigo and co.

Ichigo and his 'friends' were just finishing another session and it seemed that it was a very high energy one, the very air seemed to be infused with their combined energies. Crackling could be heard, "What is happening Rukia?"

"I don't know Ichigo, but we better watch out." The energy seemed to converge on the individuals in the hut, it clung to their very skin and caused warmth to spread all over their bodies. Sparkling in the hut, all occupants were intrigued by this new development, none had ever seen this happen before. "Maybe we shouldn't have been so energetic that last time, I think we overdid it."

"I think your right Soi, but we can't do anything about it now."

"Your too flippant about this Matsumoto, I don't believe this will bode well for us."

"What comes will come, what can you do, just let it go Yoruichi, plus I want more Ichigo anyways." Matsumoto once again darted to Ichigo's side, and once again energy crackled inside the hut, but this time it was from the four women who were fighting for the young man's affections and not from their previous activities. Unfortunately, or vice versa, depending on your point of view, Shunsui and Ukitake had arrived at the hut with Nanao. "What is going on in there? There are no lamps that emit that kind of light."

"I would stay back Nanao-chan, I don't think it is safe." Deciding that her captain was once again too lazy to investigate anything, Nanao took the lead and entered the house and confronted the people inside. What she saw was a bunch of women fighting over a blond young man, that was something that one did not see often, but add to that the light being emitted from their bodies, now that was something special. "What the heck is going on here?"

Before the occupants could reply the light reached a crescendo and soon the whole hut was engulfed in it. A scream could be heard and all was silent, running into the building both Shunsui and Ukitake were a bit too late to see what had happened to Nanao. "What the heck was that Ukitake? And where is Nanao?"

"I don't know Shunsui, but I'm going to find out, let's circle the house see what we can find." Wholeheartedly agreeing, Shunsui headed outside, too bad that the group was long gone, and where they went no one could reach for a long time.

Author's notes: Sorry for the short chapter but I am gearing up for the next installment, hopefully you can figure out what happened, tell me about any of your guesses. Anyways, again have a wonderful year and hope to write soon. Oh yeah, don't forget to leave a review, constructive criticism welcome.
