Expiriment (Bleach IchigoxRukia, slight other pairings)

“It's special healing medicine,” Urahara Shop employee Tessai Tsukabishi told the teenager folding his arms. “It's supposed to help with stressed out muscles.”

“Supposed to?” Ichigo asked staring at the horrid drink. “Damn it, I was thinking some bandages or something would help, not crap in a cup.”

Tessai's glasses gleamed for a second as he swiftly pinned Ichigo to the ground shouting “Drink!”

“Get off me idiot!” Ichigo tried fighting back against the much bigger man's brute strength, however he found it futile and soon was guzzling down the remainder of the medicine.

“Ah, Ichigo,” Shopkeeper Kisuke Urahara appeared in the room. Rukia's been looking around for you, she said there's something urgent she needs to show you.”

Ichigo spat on the ground once more and stood up crossing his arms. “Fine, it's better than staying here after all,” he groaned and rubbed his arms. “Hey, that stuff you made me take isn't working.” Tessai's glasses gleamed once again.

“Believe me Ichigo,” he said. “It's working, now get going. Ms. Rukia doesn't want to be kept waiting forever.”

Ichigo nodded turning to leave the shop, as he walked out of the front, Tessai leaned in close to Urahara and whispered “Did you get the right 'equipment'?”

“You bet,” Urahara grinned giving him a thumbs up.“But I'm starting to feel a bit guilty now.”

Tessai nodded in agreement with his long time comrade. “However, this is for an important research project right?” he asked.

Urahara was silent for a bit before grinning mischievously. “Suuuure.”

“Hm? No one's here.” Ichigo rubbed the back of his head as he stood in his room. He noticed that when he arrived no one was home, and from the looks of it Rukia wasn't around either.

“What the hell? Urahara said-”

“Bakudo number 64! Futaku!” Ichigo didn't even havea chance to dodge the flash of green light that hit him and sent hit flying into the wall.

“Heh, you need to watch your surroundings Ichigo,” Soul Reaper Rukia Kuchiki said with a smug grin.

“What the hell Rukia?” Ichigo groaned rubbing his head. “What are you trying to kill me for?”

“Ichigo!” Rukia's tone suddenly turned very demanding and fierce. “Apologize to me!”

“I'm sorry!” Ichigo yelled out all the sudden before covering his mouth. “W-What the.....I didn't.....”

Rukia's grin widened as she put her hands on her hips and walked around the teenage soul reaper and began examining him. “Ichigo!” she said in the same tone. “Show the proper respect you are supposed to display to a member of the Kuchiki family!”

Ichigo felt himself immediately get on one knee and bow before the girl. “Why am I doing this?!” Ichigo demanded. “I can't move from this position! Rukia what's going on?!”

“Looks like it worked,” Rukia said kneeling in front of him. “I learned from a certain comrade of mine an old forgotten kido spell. Bakudo number 64, futaku, forces the person hit with the spell to submit to the will of the one who cast it. Of course it's rather useless and only works on exceptionally weak hollow and soul reaper and of course your average human.”

“Then why is it working on me?” Ichigo demanded still trying to fight out of his bowing pose.

Rukia's smug grin returned. “I had help from our good friends at the Urahara shop.” Ichigo's eyes widened in realization.

“That nasty medicine Tessai gave me-”

“Not medicine at all, it's mostly just seawater made with special herbs from the Seireitei. Said herbs have the ability to hinder a soul reaper's abilities for a few hours depending on the person, your extremely powerful so I don't expect anything more than 40 or 50 minutes.”

“When did I say you could use me as a guinea pig?” Ichigo growled.

Rukia stood and walked toward his bed lying on her back. “It's useless to fight,” she said. “You might as well just go with it. It won't be bad being my slave for a while, now come here Ichigo.”

Ichigo immediately stood and walked to the edge of hisbed where Rukia lied staring up at him, he noticed that she was wearing her sister's clothing again which was nothing more than a plain white tank top and some orange shorts. For a moment he felt his face heat up for staring at her for an extended period of time. [/SIZE
