~3~ Mind of Mates, Part Three
Night tensed as she felt Aizen run a finger down the side of her throat. He was still holding her in a vice like grip and it seriously pissed her off that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get out of that embrace. “Please….” She hissed as the infuriating man followed the path of his fingers with his lips… just ever so lightly touching her skin. It sent chills up and down her spine and caused naughty feelings to rush through her hormone infested body. Oh… the guy was good at seducing… very good.
“Please, what?” Aizen whispered against her skin, knowing perfectly well what the answer was. When he’d first become a soul reaper wayyyyy back in the day, he’d amused himself by seducing women. In fact, he knew that he excelled in it. It wasn’t arrogance… it was the truth. But he never did it openly in public like Shunsui. He did it secret, which made his affairs even more pleasurable and erotic. Women opened up to him even more because he always had the sense never to tell anyone their secrets. Nor… did he be anything less than a gentleman. Being a passionate lover also was a plus.
He inhaled her scent again and found himself a bit dizzy from it. What was it about her scent that turned him on so much?
Night stifled a growl in annoyance. The man knew perfectly well what was wrong, and she knew it. “Please don’t.” She said shakily, trying again in vain to push him away.
She’d just as soon try pushing through a brick wall.
“Don’t what?” He pressed gently, with a teasing smile. He suddenly had an impish idea and grazed his lips up to her ear. His tongue darted out and lapped at her lobe.
“Oh God….” She hissed through clenched teeth. How in Heaven’s outhouse was she going to get out of this without tackling him like some fuck bunny?
“Yes?” He asked playfully, his voice seductive. He continued to explore her ear lobe languidly with his tongue.
Not getting the ‘god complex’ the man had, Night ignored his comment. Instead she closed her eyes and shivered. Desire was coursing through her veins and there was nothing she could do to stop it. If he didn’t take the initiative soon, something very kinky and naughty would happen and he’d only have himself to blame. He really shouldn’t tempt her. She was a sex deprived cat like human. And it wasn’t like she hadn’t told him to stop, right? Oh… she hadn’t really, had she? She had said ‘don’t’, and sometimes men took that as ‘please take me I’m yours’.
“Please stop.” Night breathed out, her hands weakly pushing up against his well defined chest.
“I’ll stop, but only if you tell me what I want to know… and not try to run away.” He withdrew his assault on her ear and looked deeply into her blue green eyes. He asked softly, “Are we clear?”
“Yes.” Night sighed in relief as Aizen let go of her and stepped away a few feet.
“Now… why are you here?” He asked pleasantly, though with a hard glint in his eye.
Woa… this guy is very similar to a viper. One minute he’s all seducing… then the next he’s all powerful and dangerous. Night rubbed her arms, wondering why they still tingled even without him touching her. “I honestly don’t know. My friends and I had just wrapped up a demon hunt and then I… I… kind of… ummm….” She blushed and continued, “I went berserk.”
“Demon hunt…. Why do you hunt them?” He asked softly, manifesting a tea cup in his hands with fresh hot tea. He gave it to her and she took it gladly. He did the same for himself and sipped the calming beverage.
“Why does anyone hunt things?” She answered with a flare of her arm. She then sent him a smile. “We hunt demons because we feed off of their spirit levels.”
“Ah… so your world knows about reiatsu?” Aizen thought for a moment as she nodded. “How interesting.”
Ryu sighed softly as he sat down in front of the Espada. He mused over what was going on. He knew he was inside Stark’s mind. But he wasn’t quite sure how to get out. “Fuck… I want out of this place.” He muttered. It wasn’t that he didn’t like Stark’s company… quite the opposite. It was just that he wanted to be in familiar surroundings… with his friends.
“Dude, your thoughts are loud enough to wake the dead. Spill.” Stark said softly, sitting down across from the teen.
Ryu rubbed his face and bit out, “I need to get out of here. I don’t belong here.”
“Awww… and I thought you enjoyed my company.” Stark pouted… which looked totally ridiculous. Hell, it was worth a try though. Lilinette couldn’t resist his puppy eyed look.
Ryu blushed and mumbled, “Look… it’s not that. I mean, you seem to be a swell guy… but I need to get back to my body and my friends.”
“There are four correct?” Stark asked softly, leaning forward slightly.
“Well yea… and who knows what’ll happen if we are out of our bodies too long.” Ryu said, sighing and scowling at the black floor.
Suddenly he felt arms around him. He stiffened and was about to let out a yelp, when Stark pulled the boy into his lap and nuzzled his neck. “Calm down, sunshine. We’ll think of a way to get you out of here and back to your friends. Just… relax.”
Ryu felt his body melt traitorously against the firm chest of Stark’s. His scent was incredible. It was like a spicy aphrodisiac of the highest concentration. And when Stark nibbled his neck, the teen was done for. He moaned out, “Stark… I…”
“Shhh… just… relax.” Stark shushed the teen, lazily licking the boy’s neck and ear lobe.
Ryu let out a strangled moan, arching his back and hissing out, “Please…..”
“Shhh… I know… I know….” Stark murmured as he reached up to tilt the boy’s chin. Once he had it just right, he kissed Ryu, slowly, and sensually.
Gin watched as several Arrancar and Espada helped move Aizen, Ulquiorra, Stark, and Grimmjow into the med lab. Since Szayel was no longer with them, Lindor had been found and trained. He was the new Eighth Espada. He wasn’t as ‘strange’ as Szayel had been, but he still was a formidable foe and had a knack for healing. Kaname was talking with the doctor now, relaying the events that lead to the collapse of their leader and fellow Espada. He made no mention of Aizen’s health or revelation. Gin figured that this was a good idea, even though the doctor probably already knew all about it. Still… it was good to keep this from getting out for the time being.
“Have there been any other intruders since Ulquiorra fell?” Lindor asked curiously, not being able to sense any other. He examined Aizen’s body first, of course.
“One other, but it doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing.” Kaname answered as he lounged by the door of the med lab.
“Ah… so it’s still in the throne room, then?” Lindor asked.
“No. It followed us here, but nothing more.” Kaname sighed softly.
Gin wondered why. The strange spiritual pressure entity was hovering beside him… as if it was observing everything. “Maybe its job is to just observe?”
Kaname turned to Gin and thought for a moment. That did sound plausible, but still. He wasn’t so sure. “Maybe, but I wouldn’t be so certain of that.”
And then he noticed that the closest one to the entity was Gin, and he looked the former shinigami over. What was it that was preventing the entity to entering Gin’s mind? It obviously was sticking to the fox like ex soul reaper like a lamb to its mother. Finally, he noticed that Gin’s hand had never left his Zanpakuto’s hilt. So… Shinzo was still waiting to be called. Something inside of him clicked as he looked at all the other fallen comrades.
“I think I know why it isn’t doing anything.” Kaname said slowly, looking over at Lindor.
“What is it?” Lindor asked softly.
“All the other times the entities have attacked one of us when our hands aren’t anywhere near our Zanpakuto.” He gestured to Gin. “He has not withdrawn his hand from Shinzo since the attacks happened. Shinzo is still aware and is ready to fight. Apparently, the entities can’t enter their target’s minds with a Zanpakuto aware. It makes sense.” Kaname said as he touched Gin’s hand that was attached to Shinzo.
Gin looked down at their connected hands and he sighed. Part of him was insanely curious about these entities… but part of him was still shinigami reflexive. Did he want something to connect to him? The doctor smiled and gave them thumbs up.
“Looks like the entities are actually harmless to their hosts. In fact… they are actually doing a bit of good for them. Look here.” He pointed to his monitor showing all three hosts and their vitals. “Ulquiorra, Stark, and Grimmjow are experiencing high levels of endorphins that are strengthening their reserves… much higher than if they were actually sleeping. But Aizen is the one who is more amazing. Look at his levels.”
Gin looked it over and smiled. “Our Aizen-sama is getting better.”
“Yes. His condition is improving, and it looks like whatever it is that is in his mind… is healing his body slowly and renewing his nervous system. If it keeps up… Aizen could be completely cured of his illness.” That just proved to Gin and Kaname that the doctor of course knew about Aizen’s condition. “He told you about it too, right?”
“Yes… just this morning right before he collapsed. He didn’t get a chance to say what he was dying from, though.” Gin mused.
“King Aizen was suffering from -“ Lindor was cut off by Kaname. “The tissue around his brain has some sort of cancer, centered above his ocular nerves.”
“Yes… how did you guess?” Lindor asked.
“Can’t say it’s surprising. Aizen’s had so many headaches lately.” Gin mentioned.
“Yes. I naturally assumed it was either cancer or a tumor by how he was acting strange lately.” Kaname agreed.
In all the fuss, Gin leaned in to look more at the readings… and in so doing let go of his Zanpakuto. Before he could realize his mistake, the entity beside him attacked. Gin stiffened and gasped, eyes for once open in shock. Kaname shook his head and pulled his comrade onto a nearby lab table. Why was he not surprised?
“I wonder if there is any more of those entities.” Kaname said softly, watching Gin promptly pass out. Tche… the guy even smiles in his sleep. “We wait. That’s all we can do right now.” He continued, straightening out Gin’s uniform.
Jade blinked, finding herself in a very strange forested area with a lake nearby. How peaceful… certainly more so than her own mind. But why had she been drawn to this man’s mind? She vaguely remembered following Night through the wall of the warehouse and falling several feet down and then… nothing. Now she was here. From the smell of the place… and the feel of it… she was definitely in a man’s mind.
“How curious. You look just like us.” Gin spoke directly behind her, making her jump nearly a foot in the air.
Jade turned to look at the man who had just startled her nearly to death. Wow… this guy was very much like a fox. His eyes were closed for the most part and his mouth was spread into a long grin. She looked him over carefully, taking in the very bright white clothes that had black trim. He had grey silver hair that hung on his head limply… but not devoid of life. She wondered what his eye color was…. He obviously wasn’t blind… his previous words described that he wasn’t.
Gin took his time raking his almost closed eyes over her form. She was a bit short for his taste, but not too bad. She had a slender build with shoulder length red hair and vivid jade eyes. Pale complected, but not in a bad way. Overall… she was delectable. “I am Gin Ichimaru from Hueco Mundo, and you are?” He decided to take the forward kind approach. Kaname had said that they meant them no harm… so why not get as much information out of her as possible the nice way?
Jade trembled as his voice struck something deep inside of her that she’d thought had been hidden for years behind a wall of scars. She watched him come closer, feeling like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car. If he was who she thought he was… she’d be a fool to let him get any closer. Still… something inside her wouldn’t let her back away.
Gin stopped a foot away from her and asked again, “What is your name?”
Jade swallowed with difficulty. She wondered if the others had suffered similar fates. If so… then all of their bodies were somewhere out in this strange world with no protection. Damn… what do I do? She thought. Finally she answered him, “Jade Hollinger from the planet Nemrid. I came with four others. Where are they?”
He arched an eyebrow. Apparently this woman wasn’t aware of where she was or how she got in his head. So… this was all a strange accident. Interesting. “Your friends are currently habiting four other comrades of mine. Since they aren’t harming them for now, I have chosen to be kind to you.”
Too bad she couldn’t see his eyes. She always could see expressions in eyes to tell if anyone were telling her the truth or telling her a lie. “So… where are our bodies?”
Ichimaru’s eyebrows shot up to his hairline at that one. He regarded the woman with opening his eyes a bit more. Those nearly crimson eyes captivated Jade as he asked, “So you all are not just spiritual entities?”
“No. Not at all. We have bodies just like you see here, but I think we were knocked out of them when we came to your world. I fear I must go so I can make sure we return to our physical bodies before time passes much longer. How long have my friends been inhabiting your comrades’ minds?” Jade explained in a rush, thinking hard.
“Not even thirty minutes, I suppose. Though… the time we are spending here might have made that longer. I am not sure.” Gin closed his eyes more, his face back into its fox like mask.
“Thank you, Gin.” She looked around. That’s a relief. If they’d been out for more than two hours it would not be good.
“What is it?” Gin asked softly, though he probably already knew the answer.
Jade blushed slightly, “How do I get out of here?” Dang… he smells good. He smells more exotic than my previous mate…. No… she mustn’t think of him like that.
“Hmmm… good question.” Gin said softly with a bigger grin. Inhaling a long breath, he caught her scent. And suddenly he understood why Aizen had gotten so aroused by his own attacker. If that attacker smelled as good as this one did… then things might turn out much better than he thought.
