Affected By Death

Chapter 14: Intimacy

Rukia groans, feeling crappy from drinking too much the previous night...but before she can open her eyes, she feels herself being squeezed into a naked muscular warm male body. She gasps and opens her eyes, blinking from the sun streaming in through the window. She realizes she's in Ichigo's bed naked with him while he still sleeps, and she struggles to remember what happened the night before.

I don't even remember leaving the engagement party! What did I do with Ichigo!

She's afraid to move, because she's sure it'll wake Ichigo up if she does, and she is sure she cannot look him in the eyes at the moment.

I think I might die of embarrassment the moment he does wake up!

She realizes she has to move though, and try to do it as stealthily as possible to try and get clothed before he opens his eyes. She bites her lip, and attempts to get his arm from around her, but it's futile. He's got her like a vice, and there is no way to break free without forcing it, and that is sure to wake him up.

Rukia squeezes her eyes shut, as tight as possible and tries once more to remember the details of the night. She's completely incapable of doing so though, and that bothers her a great deal.

I don't believe this...what am I supposed to say since I don't remember anything!

Then all of a sudden, something starts to poke into her leg, and Rukia opens her eyes in shock as she realizes precisely what is pressing into her.

Oh my god!

Rukia makes another attempt to get out of his arms, but she's stopped an instant later.

"You're awake aren't you?" Ichigo's sleepy voice surprises her, and she gasps in shock.

"Ichigo..." Rukia sounds very upset, and he gives her a confused look.

"What's wrong?" He asks, and Rukia blushes hotly.

"Don't look at me..." Rukia says, as he releases his grip on her, and she gathers up the blanket around her before she shoots out of his bed like lightning.

That ends up being a mistake though, because then she can see all of Ichigo's naked body, and he looks amused at her expression, particularly because she's staring quite intently at his morning wood.

"Why can't I? I already saw you naked last night." Ichigo tells her, and Rukia's face gets redder, which he hadn't thought was possible.

"You took advantage of me?" Rukia asks in a small shocked voice, and Ichigo sit up immediately, another mistake since now she can see blood on his bed...evidence of her losing her virginity the night before and she gasps again right as he protests.

"That is not what happened! If anything, you took advantage of me!" Ichigo declares, but then he realizes she's staring at the bed. He looks to where she's looking and he sees the blood, before he lets out a big sigh.

"Tell me everything that happened then" Rukia says demandingly, as she goes through her luggage, searching for a pad and clothes to wear.

"When we got home last night, you ordered me to get naked...in front of my father I might add...and then when we came in here, you told me if I didn't get undressed, you'd undress me...and I told you that I didn't want you hating me in the morning, but you said you wanted to lose your virginity before we got married since your friend Rangiku-san told you it would hurt!" Ichigo tries to explain quickly in one long breath, and Rukia furrows her eyebrows, trying to figure out if it all rings true.
