Heuco Mundo

Night — 11:47 PM | Final Round

Moonlight spilled across the room in soft silver streaks, casting shadows that danced over the sweat-slick sheets and tangled limbs. The air was heavy—humid with the scent of sex and something deeper, rawer.

Rukia lay sprawled between Ichigo's legs, hair tousled, face flushed, lips locked around the base of his shaft like she was trying to memorize the taste. She didn't move quickly. No, this time it was slow… intentional. Every inch she took was worshipped, every bob of her head punctuated by a lewd, wet slurp that echoed through the room like a sinful lullaby.

Slrrrp…

Gawk—slup

Mmhh—glk…

Ichigo's head tipped back, jaw clenched, hands fisting the sheets before tangling in her hair. His thighs tensed beneath her, his breath catching with every downward slide of her mouth.

"Rukia…" he groaned, voice cracking under the weight of overstimulation. "F-Fuck… I give up. You win. You fucking win."

But Rukia didn't answer. She just moaned around him—low and needy—like his cock in her mouth was her only form of sanity.

Her hands gripped his hips tighter, nails lightly digging into his skin as she drove herself down harder, throat fluttering around his girth like a vice. Each motion was messier, wetter, filthier. Spit clung to her chin in glistening strands, her eyes glassy with a cocktail of exhaustion and blissed-out determination.

Finally, she pulled back with a wet pop, a thick string of saliva connecting her lips to the tip of his cock. She licked it off slowly, deliberately, her smirk smug beneath the glimmer of moonlight.

"Told you…" she panted, voice hoarse and fucked-out, "I could keep up."

Before he could speak, before his next breath even finished, she sank back down—mouth wide, throat open, taking him with a single, savage glide.

Ichigo gasped, legs kicking slightly beneath her, eyes blown wide with shock. He wasn't ready. Not for this. Not after everything. But she didn't care. This wasn't about mercy.

It was obsession.

It was devotion.

And as his final orgasm surged forward like a crashing wave, all he could do was cry out her name—shaking, gasping, mind going blank—while Rukia swallowed every last drop like she owned it.

"Damn," Ichigo breathed, chest rising and falling. "You really sucked me off the whole day. I'm impressed."

Pop.

Rukia pulled back, licking her lips with a dazed little smile. "Yeah… I'm surprised too." Her voice was raspy, satisfied. "So… what now?"

Ichigo smirked, the fire in his eyes far from dying. "You know what."

That night, they didn't stop.

Again and again, they crashed into each other like waves—relentless, hungry, insatiable. Their bodies tangled under moonlight and sweat, driven by a craving that no amount of release could satisfy.

They didn't make love. They devoured each other. Like addicts who couldn't get clean… and didn't want to.

....

For the next month, Ichigo watched over Orihime and Chad as they trained tirelessly. Their growth was astounding—far beyond what he remembered from the original timeline. Orihime had sharpened her healing speed and defensive capabilities until her Shun Shun Rikka felt nearly instantaneous, while Chad had refined both his arms, gaining speed and precision with destructive force that could rival a seated officer.

Ichigo couldn't help but feel a mixture of pride and unease. He had accelerated their progress, changed events, and now the story was spiraling in a direction even he couldn't fully predict.

Finally, the time came.

He sat atop a tall rooftop overlooking Karakura Town as the sun dipped behind the horizon, casting long shadows across the buildings. A gentle breeze swept through his hair, bringing with it the familiar scent of home—fried food from the corner shop, the distant rustle of leaves, the chirping of early cicadas.

He sighed, brushing imaginary dust off his pants as he rose to his feet.

"I've made a lot of changes to the story. I hope things go well."

The thought lingered in his mind as he leapt down from the rooftop, landing in a quiet alley with barely a whisper of sound. He began his walk home slowly, letting the silence settle around him.

Rukia had returned to the Soul Society to train under the Gotei 13's guidance, while Uryuu, Chad, and Orihime remained in Karakura, honing their powers.

Once home, Ichigo walked in through the door and immediately found his father lounging in the living room.

"I'm heading out for a while," Ichigo said, arms crossed.

Isshin's grin never faltered. "Oh no problem, son. Try not to get too hurt, okay?"

Ichigo smirked. "Yeah, don't worry. Also, when I get back—we're having a talk. About you being a Soul Reaper and never telling me."

Isshin blinked, then laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his head as Ichigo walked past.

'He's sharper than I ever expected,' Isshin thought, watching his son disappear up the stairs.

Before long, Ichigo descended again, now in his Soul Reaper form. He found Yuzu and Karin in the kitchen and pulled them into a tight hug. Yuzu smiled brightly while Karin grumbled, but still leaned into him.

"Geez, stop being so dramatic," she muttered, punching his arm lightly.

Ichigo smiled. "Yeah, yeah."

He placed his Substitute badge against his chest and felt his soul pull free from his body. Kon, already waiting nearby, was stuffed into his gigai in one smooth motion.

"Take care of my sisters, Kon," Ichigo said as he opened the window.

"No problem, boss!" Kon gave a mock salute before plopping on the couch like royalty.

With one last look back, Ichigo leapt into the night.

A few days earlier…

Ichigo had approached Urahara with his plan to enter Hueco Mundo early—before Aizen could prepare for his arrival. Even if the man was always one step ahead, Ichigo had an advantage: he wasn't the same Ichigo as before. Not anymore.

Urahara had raised a brow behind his fan but ultimately nodded.

"I'll help you open the Garganta," he said. "Just don't get yourself killed."

Now, Ichigo stood outside the familiar sliding doors of the Urahara Shop. He took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The wooden floor creaked beneath his sandals as he entered. The scent of incense lingered in the air, mixing with the ever-present trace of reishi and dust. His smirk widened slightly.

'This brings back memories… from two months ago. Feels like a lifetime.'

Down in the underground training area, he found Uryuu and Chad already waiting near the portal stone.

"Yo," Ichigo greeted casually.

Uryuu adjusted his glasses with a scoff, while Chad gave a calm nod in return.

"I thought you weren't allowed to hang out with us," Ichigo teased. "Must've missed me."

Uryuu's eye twitched. "I'll deal with you later. And for the record, we're still enemies, Kurosaki Ichigo."

"Sure, buddy."

Before Uryuu could respond, Urahara stepped forward, clapping his hands once.

"Alright, enough with the love-hate banter. Let's get to business."

He held up his cane and began chanting. Moments later, the air in front of them split open, forming a wide horizontal rift. Pale blue light poured out as a chaotic swirl of reishi spiraled within.

"This is the Garganta," Urahara explained. "It's the gateway to Hueco Mundo. Be warned—there is no solid ground inside. You'll need to form your own path using reishi under your feet. Head toward the darkness. That's your entrance."

The three of them stood silently for a beat. The air vibrated faintly from the raw spiritual pressure inside the rift.

Ichigo nodded. "Got it."

Without another word, the three leapt forward, their forms swallowed by the shimmering rift. The portal snapped shut behind them like the eye of a storm closing.

Hueco Mundo awaited.

This was the beginning—the true beginning—of the Arrancar Arc.
