Chapter 28

Humming to myself as I casually strolled down the road heading towards the Tower, I couldn't help but grin at my haul. It took me a little over an hour to appropriate the appropriate appropriations, but I now had plenty of working appliances nestled safely in my Inventory.

No more burnt toast for this guy! I did have the idle thought that stealing objects from what was essentially someone's mindscape might not be the best idea, but at the same time, free fridge.

Hopefully it didn't contain any of Hiyori's childhood memories, but that was a risk I was willing to take.

Of course, Hiyori was none too pleased when I returned, yelling angrily at me. Pretty sure she wanted to attack me too when I refused to tell her what I was up to, but thankfully Kubikiri held her back.

I don't see what she's so mad about. I even put some clothes on for goodness sake! The other two seemed disappointed by that fact but I wasn't going through the Moonlight District with my ding dong out. It may not have been as cold as before, but I couldn't risk the frostbite.

Or the shriveling. Imagine, returning to the girls with my pecker turtling up. No thank you.

After getting chewed out for a bit, it was time to make our departure. As much fun as this was, I was eager to get the hell out of here. And I really hope I don't see any more ogres any time soon.

"Well, this is it ladies, time for me to hit the road," I said, standing in front of Kubikiri and Hiyori's Hollow with the petulant blonde herself standing beside me, arms crossed and looking annoyed.

Seriously, girl needs to get laid. Luckily for her, she had someone willing and able right next to her.

"Come back soon my love," said the Hollow, laying it on pretty thick. Like me, she also found a new pair of clothes as her last ones got kinda ruined. I may have been a bit overeager and tore them to shreds during our… activities.

Oops.

She was now wearing a pair of tight leather shorts colored black. Seriously, the damn things looked painted on. Did they use butter or something to squeeze her into them? Don't get me wrong, she looked good in them but I can't imagine they made it easy to breathe.

She also had on a white shirt that was somewhat loose, with a black leather jacket over it. I have no idea where she got them, and I wasn't going to ask. I figure it was just one of those things, you know? Best left alone.

"He ain't comin back here," Hiyori growled, still peeved at me for rummaging around in her head, making me roll my eyes at her. Thankfully, the others who occupied this place didn't seem to agree with her statement.

"Oh he's coming back alright. He and I have some… unfinished business," Kubikiri stated, licking her lips in my direction. I'm not ashamed to admit that I shivered at that, not out of fear but out of anticipation. I can still feel her perky rear on the palm of my hand. No way was Hiyori keeping me away from that.

"What kind of business?" Hiyori asked with suspicion. I saw her Zanpakuto Spirit give her a salacious grin. "The kind that involves me on all fours screaming, harder daddy!"

Hiyori's face went red at that and my balls went blue. She should not be allowed to say that in that tone of voice when I have to leave. Not fair. And judging by the smirk on her face, she knew it too. I'll have to make sure to get her back for that.

"Ugh, I'm surrounded by sluts…" Hiyori lamented, giving the other two women the stink eye.

"I am not a slut sister, as Ushio is the only man I'll allow to have me," her Hollow stated, sounding rather smug about it too.

"What she said," Kubikiri said, jabbing her thumb in the Hollow's direction.

"I'm not your sister! And you, don't encourage her!" Hiyori yelled, getting a chuckle from the spirit.

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you're not at least a little curious. I mean, look what sex did to her!" Kubikiri said, gesturing towards the Hollow again, who was positively glowing.

"Who the hell would want that!?" Hiyori yelled, face red.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, sister, but I seem to recall you making the most interesting noises when he kissed that ogre," the Hollow said. Now that caught my attention. I was happy enough to enjoy the show, watching them pick on Hiyori, but that damn ogre brought up some bad memories.

"Hang on, what do you mean by that?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at them.

"None of your damn business!" Hiyori shouted with a blush. Oh, now I'm more curious than ever. She should know better than to say something like that if you don't want someone asking about it.

"Oh come now, nothing to be embarrassed about. She and the ogre's senses were connected, and she seemed to enjoy the feel of your lips quite a bit," the Hollow said, much to her twin's frustration.

"Oh really? Who's the slut now?" Kubikiri said with a cat-like smirk. It was like she was staring at a defenseless bird, taking her time to enjoy the show before pouncing.

"S-shut up! Can't you see she's lying! No way I'd enjoy kissing baldy here!" Hiyori yelled. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

"Aw, come on. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm more than happy to give you a little kiss if you want," I said, grinning down at her.

"Don't you touch me!" Hiyori said, backing up.

"Well, if she doesn't want it then I'll take it!" the Hollow said eagerly, practically racing towards me. It was more than a little weird seeing her act like this. I never thought sticking my dick in crazy would turn out like this. Guess there's an exception to every rule.

Shrugging, I bent down to do just that. My lips met hers in a soft embrace, like two lovers being reunited after years apart. I kissed her softly, a far cry from earlier. At that time it was all anger and passion as I basically hate fucked the hate out of her. Never knew that's what they meant by that.

We parted after several seconds, with the Hollow panting for breath afterward, her pupils shaped like hearts. I didn't know that was even possible. Is this the true power of Big Dick Energy? I'll have to test it thoroughly later.

"What about you Kiri? You want one too?" I asked, feeling a bit cocky. She looked indecisive, biting her lower lip in thought. After contemplating it a bit, she gave her answer.

"Not this time, big guy. Fraid if I start, I won't be able to stop. But I expect to be thoroughly satisfied next time, got it?" she demanded.

"Yes ma'am!" I said, giving her a salute.

"Alright, that's enough of that! Time to go!" Hiyori yelled, pushing me towards the exit.

"There's no need to be jealous over them, you know? If you want a kiss that badly, I'm more than happy to oblige," I said, looking back at the frustrated girl.

"Don't even think about it!" she yelled back. I waved at the two girls as we departed.

[You are now leaving the Dungeon]

Everything started to swirl around me, almost like I had taken a shot of acid. Or eaten more of Karin's cooking. Come to think of it, I'm surprised that thing could be destroyed. Kind of thought it would live on forever, a constant threat to humanity.

Or maybe it faked its death, allowing it to amass power without anyone the wiser. Hopefully that wasn't the case.

When everything stopped spinning, I found myself on the cold, hard ground. I groaned as I tried to move, but found myself unable to, like something was pinning me down.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to wake up. How was your time in Neverland?" asked a voice to my left. I looked up to see the smirking face of Kisuke. Not only that, but I once more found myself surrounded by the Visoreds, all staring at me with differing looks.

I also saw the slumped over visage of Hiyori, a red string tied to her finger. All around me was pure white bones that were rapidly disintegrating into light particles. I imagine those were the parts of the Hollow that must have fallen off as I tamed the beast. At least it looks like I was in my own body again, which was a relief. I was a bit worried that I would be back in hers after getting out of there.

"Great, fantastic. Nearly died several times and had my first gay experience. I'd love to tell you all about it, but I seem to be stuck. Mind letting me up?" I asked, wiggling my body around.

"I don't think so buddy. Not until we know what happened to Hiyori," stated the squinty eyed fuck, Shinji. I plopped my head on the ground and groaned. Knowing my luck, the angry little midget would say something that would get me in trouble. I might be here forever.

Just as I was thinking that, the girl in question opened her eyes. She put her hand to her forehead and moaned. I wonder if her head was pounding like my own. Felt like I spent a few days at a frat house asserting my dominance. Hangovers suck.

"Where… what happened?" she asked, blinking away her confusion. Everyone looked relieved, and Shinji looked like he was about to say something, so of course I interrupted him.

"Hey there Princess, glad you could join us," I said. Hiyori's whole body went rigid as she turned to look at me, fury written all over her face.

"The fuck did you just call me?" she growled.

"Why, I called you princess, Princess. Something wrong? I mean, I did save you from a tower you know. Pretty classic damsel in distress trope, you know?" I asked, a teasing glint in my eyes. One I don't think she saw.

"Like hell! I could have gotten out of there myself! I didn't need you!" she shouted, her face red from a combination of anger and embarrassment.

"Maybe not, but I'll always be there for you," I said, my voice going completely serious. Her face turned even redder at that, her mouth opening and closing without so much as a sound. Looks like I broke her.

Gain 1 Affection to Hiyori Sarugaki (13/100)

"As much as I'd love to continue watching this adorable scene, perhaps we should discuss what happened tonight?" suggested Kisuke, hiding his shit eating grin behind his fan.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Huh, the hell are you doing here, dumbass?" Hiyori asked, glaring up at her former Captain. He merely continued to smirk, waving his fan.

"I heard you were in trouble so I came running as fast as I could. But it seems like some other hero has beaten me to saving the girl," he said.

"You wanna die too!" Hiyori yelled, getting up and shaking her fist at him.

"Now, now, no need for violence," Kisuke said, holding his hands up in surrender. His eyes then turned serious and dare I say it, warm. "But seriously, I'm glad you're ok Hiyori."

She turned her face away from him, arms crossed over her chest. "Tsk, whatever."

"Aw, isn't her tsundere side just the cutest?" I asked. Not sure if that was the wisest decision I could have made, but it's far from the worst. She turned to look at me, an expression somewhere between a Honey Badger and a serial killer.

"Think you're funny do ya? Let me show you what I think of comedians," she said, advancing on me, cracking her knuckles.

"Woah, come on now, there's no need for this! Hey, let me out of here already! Seriously, I don't like the look in her eyes! Guys!"

"Sorry kid, but you brought this on yourself," someone said. It was that guy I could never remember who was who. Love or Rose, one of those assholes.

"I'll remember this!" I shouted.

*Line Break*

"I can't believe you did this to me…" I said, sitting on a crate in one of the numerous, shady warehouses. Shinji, or was it Kisuke? Somebody suggested we move the conversation somewhere more comfortable.

I don't think these people know what comfort means.

"Oh don't be such a big baby," Hiyori responded, waving me off. But she did have a massive grin on her face. You might be wondering what she did to me? I wish I could say she just punched me in the face or kicked me in the bean bag, but no. The indignity I am currently suffering is far greater. For you see, she did something so heinous it may very well scar me for life.

She drew hair on me with a permanent marker. And not just any permanent marker, but one specially made by that asshole Kisuke. I swear I'll get my revenge someday.

"After all I did to save you, this is the thanks I get…" I mumbled, making her snicker at me.

"I think it looks good on you," Shinji said, grinning. I flipped him off, making everybody laugh.

"Can we just get this over with? It is a school night you know," I said, yawning. I may have gotten some sleep in Hiyori's mind, but I was still exhausted. Especially after channeling the ultimate power of the universe through me and using it to bang for two hours straight.

"Right, little baby has to get ready for bed," Shinji mocked. I should be mad at that, but I get the feeling he's jealous that I saved Hiyori and he didn't. Wonder if he has a thing for her. If so, the best way to get back at him is pretty obvious.

NTR.

"Yep, he sure does. So if the asshole could speed this along, that would be great," I said, with a deadpan.

"You little…"

"Now, now, Shinji, let's all remain calm. Hiyori, mind filling us in?" Kisuke asked.

"Fine. It all started when I found that Hollow you warned us about…"

It took several minutes for Hiyori to explain everything, especially with the constant interruptions. I wanted to look at my Quest, having heard the ding that let me know I have goodies to look through. But I don't really have a chance with all these people around. I know they can't see the screens or anything, but I don't think staring at nothing was a good idea. Last thing I need is for them to think I'm crazy or something.

Or, crazier, at any rate.

She got to the point where she was chasing me through the warehouse district and blacked out when I nailed her in the balls. That's apparently what allowed the Hollow to fully take over.

"My bad," I said to her, getting a glare in return. But then of course, it was my turn to give my tale.

"So young man, mind telling us what part you had to play in all this?" Kisuke asked, a glimmer of intrigue in his eyes. I sighed, feeling way too hungover for this crap.

"Well, it all started when I ate some bad curry…"

You know, as I was telling my riveting tale of heroics, I got the distinct impression that they didn't believe me. Mostly because Shinji said, "I don't believe you." I wonder where I lost them? Was it the horny ogre tied to a bed with a blindfold and a ball gag? Or maybe it was the part where I had to turn on the heaters to stop a blizzard? Either way, escaping a psych ward may be in my future.

I didn't actually tell them about all the game stuff, figuring that was no-no numero uno. I am not ready for them to know about my bullshit powers yet. Maybe in the future, but for now, better to keep them in the dark.

Thankfully, dear, sweet Hiyori could actually confirm a lot of my story. Granted she may have called me out on an embellishment here or there, which was uncalled for in my opinion, but they couldn't refute it when she explained that the Hollow was watching me through what was essentially a computer screen.

Which was weird. You'd think I'd remember seeing some cameras or something, but nope. Either they were far too well hidden for my expert, ninja eyes, or there were some other hijinks involved. I'm leaning toward the latter.

They got a good laugh at the part where I made out with the ogre, but Mashiro, who appeared sometime during the story with Kensei, cooed at how I avenged Hiyori's death. Which the little blonde terror blamed me for, but I still got an extra point of Affection for it. The tsundere strikes again.

This interrogation went on for about an hour and a half, and by the end of my story, my head felt like it had been kicked by a mule. Honestly, the whole thing could have waited until tomorrow, but noooo, they were far too curious to wait.

Jerks.

"Well, that was an… interesting tale. But it does give us some insight into this Hollow we're dealing with. I think it's safe to say none of you should try and go after it," Kisuke said, an air of seriousness surrounding him.

"Don't tell me you actually believe this brat?" Shinji said in disbelief. I cannot wait until I am strong enough to punch him in the face with no repercussions. In fact, that might be a bigger goal of mine than kicking Aizen's ass at this point.

"You calling me a liar, Shinji?" Hiyori asked with more than a little heat in her tone. Guess that by calling me a liar, he was also calling her one too.

"No, but who knows how that Hollow could have influenced you. It could have shown you exactly what it wanted you to see," he stated, trying to save his ass. Judging from the angry scowl on her face, I don't think she bought it.

"I believe you Hiyori," I said. I might be mad at her for giving me an ink toupee, but I disliked Shinji even more.

"Shut up, dumbass!"

"Can we get go back to the part where he fucked her Hollow? I'd like to know more about that," asked Lisa. Her question made Hiyori's face turn red. I wonder what she was thinking about? Could it have been my glorious naked form afterward? Of perhaps the sounds of lovemaking she was subjected to?

"Why do you want to talk about that, pervert!?" Hiyori yelled. Lisa shrugged, "It sounds interesting."

"There was nothing interesting about it!"

"We'll never know unless we talk about it."

"No!"

"Actually, you bring up a good point, Lisa," Kisuke said, a hint of the mad scientist within coming out.

"Huh? What do you mean by that Kisuke?" asked Love.

"Did she really say you could use her powers all you want?" he asked, a curious gleam in his eye. Made me nervous as hell.

"Uh, yeah. That's what the bitch said. Why?" Hiyori asked, crossing her arms over her chest again.

"Well, if what she says is the truth, then you might be able to hold your Hollow form indefinitely," he said, making all their eyes widen. I had already suspected something like that, so it didn't really surprise me. But to hear the same thing coming out of a genius's mouth made me feel pretty damn good about myself.

"So does that mean you aren't interested in what positions I used? Cause there was this one where she was upside down and-"

"Shut it, baldy!" Hiyori yelled. I snickered at her red face. She was way too easy to rile up.

"What's wrong? Are you embarrassed because she looked just like you? Are you picturing yourself in her shoes? For shame, Hiyori, for shame," I said, shaking my head in disappointment.

"That's it, time to die!" she yelled, leaping at me. Guess I teased her a bit too much.

As the two of us wrestled on the ground, with me trying to prevent her from strangling me to death, Kisuke turned to the rest of the Visoreds. "We'll have to experiment to see if my hypothesis is true. If it is, this could be a game changer."

"What, are we supposed to let the kid into our Inner Worlds so he can have his way with our Hollows?" asked Lisa in disbelief. Not that she was particularly opposed to it, it was just… weird.

"I don't do dudes!" I shouted, a pair of tiny hands around my neck.

"No, nothing like that. But it could provide some clues to help control them. I… don't know how yet, but I'm sure there's something there," Kisuke said, sounding unsure of himself. Not that I could blame him, it sounded fucking ridiculous.

"Whatever, it's late, and I'm tired. Let's just call it a night," Shinji said, rubbing his head. I know how you feel buddy! The loli trying to kill me wasn't helping matters either.

"Good idea. We can deal with this shit later," Kensei said, standing up. Mashiro, who was next to him, leapt onto his shoulders. "Weee! Kensei, I'm sleepy, carry me!"

"What? You just don't want to walk," he grumbled, but carried her all the same. Big old softy. I bet they're banging.

With that, they began to leave, one by one, until it was only Hiyori and I left in the warehouse. They weren't just going to leave me here, were they? Nobody was that cruel. But as the lights turned out and I heard the door slam shut, I knew nobody was coming to save me.

"Wait, hang on! Don't leave me alone with her! Oi!" I shouted, but I was ignored.

"Hey," a voice said. It was soft and dare I say it, demure. I looked up towards Hiyori, who was straddling me. Under normal circumstances I would be enjoying the fact that there was a beautiful woman on top of me, but when that woman could beat me in an arm wrestling contest and wanted to choke me out, well, that removed some of the enjoyment.

"Um, yes, how may I help you?" I asked. I felt her small hands move away from my neck, making me sigh in relief. I'm all for getting a bit kinky in the bedroom, but that was a bit much.

"Look, I just… What I'm trying to say is… Ugh, why is this so damn hard," she grumbled, leaning back. From this position, the light from the streetlamp coming through the window lit up her face at just the right angle. She was blushing, her eyes darting towards me and away repeatedly. Is this the rare, shy Hiyori? I felt like I just found a shiny Pokémon without using cheat codes.

"Hey, is everything ok? I know you probably have a lot to process right now, so I'm sorry for joking around. It's just, that's how I handle stressful situations and that Shinji guy was being an ass so-hmph!" I shouted in surprise. Why am I surprised you ask? Well, that's simple.

Hiyori was kissing me. Her small mouth was pressed against my own and I could feel her trembling. I wonder if this is her first kiss? But rather than think about stupid things, I have more important matters at hand.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, making her startle. It was so tiny I could almost touch my fingers together. I wasn't forceful, I didn't want her to feel trapped, but I was firm. I pulled her body flush with mine as I kissed her back.

It was strange. Her lips felt so similar and yet so different from her Hollow's. I'm not sure how that's possible, considering they're basically identical. Maybe because one of them is a Hollow? Who knows.

She relaxed, and I heard her start to moan. Her hands went to my head, her finger tailing across its smooth surface. It was rather tame, all things considered, even if she was grinding into me a bit. I had to fight every instinct I had not to grab her by the ass and take her. Somehow, I doubt she's ready to go that far yet.

After nearly a minute of making out like horny teenagers, of which I actually am, Hiyori pulled back, a trail of saliva connecting our lips. I looked into her eyes, our faces inches apart and I could see something I didn't expect to see. It wasn't love or anything like that, but rather, sincerity.

"Hiyori, what was that?" I asked, feeling out of breath. The make out session didn't exactly help with my headache, as all the blood rushing south just made the pounding worse, but I sure as hell wasn't going to stop her. It was worth the pain.

"A kiss, dumbass, what else?" she responded in her usual snarky tone. I rolled my eyes, "You know what I mean. Why did you kiss me?"

"I just wanted to know what all the fuss was about," she said, pushing her face away from mine while looking away. "And, you know, to say thanks. For saving me."

I smiled as she mumbled the last part. "You're welcome. But let's try not to make a habit out of it. If I have to rescue you too much, I'll have to change my name to Mario," I joked. Not sure she got it, but that's fine. The joke was for me anyway.

"Whatever. Let's just get out of here. I'm ready for bed," she grumbled, moving to get off of me, only to stop. I stared at her, confused, as she sent a glare my way. "Oh, and you tell anyone about this, you're dead."

"It'll be our little secret," I said, making her snort. She leaned backwards, ready to get off me, when she stopped, again. I raised an eyebrow at her, but let out a groan as she wiggled her hips.

"What the hell! Is that-Are you?" she asked but was unable to finish her sentence.

"Well what did you expect? A beautiful girl laying on top of me and sticking her tongue in my mouth. How could that not excite me?" I asked. She continued to try and say something, but she couldn't find the words. And me, well, I was scared that if I moved a muscle, I'd find myself on the wrong side of her hand. I did not want to get slapped.

"You… you… pervert!" she yelled, jumping off of me. I watched in amusement as she fled. I don't really get what the big deal was, she's seen me naked. Whatever, girls are weird.

As a girl, I must disagree. You are the weird one here.

"Oh, hey Sarah. Been wondering where you were," I said, standing up. I dusted myself off before leaving the warehouse. It was now time for the long trek home. Fuck, why did they have to be on the other side of town?

Sorry about that, I didn't want to distract you during the fight. And then there was what happened with the Hollow and I've been a bit… distracted.

"Well I hope you enjoyed the show," I remarked as we left the home of the Visoreds.

That… I wasn't… Research, I was doing research!

"Is that what they're calling it these days?"

Oh shut up. Anyway, are you going to check your Quest?

"Naw, I'll deal with that tomorrow. I can barely think straight as it is," I said, yawning. The whole thing with Hiyori took less than thirty seconds in the real world but I spent damn near a day in there. I was more than ready for some shut eye.

Sounds good. Try not to walk in front of traffic.

"Yeah, yeah," I muttered.

I survived my first Dungeon. Now all I have to do is survive high school.

Fuck…
