I don't own bleach. So, here's a new story for y'all. So, who get's the title of the chapter and what it means?


Yuzu looked at her brother as she took a deep breath. Ichigo tilted his head in confusion and Yuzu nodded, "It's true. I-I remember Hell... I went to the weird shopkeeper guy and he told me so. I've been training for a while now."

Ichigo was shocked at his sister, but accepted it with a calm resignation. "Also, I've been to Soul Society with Yoruichi-san."

Ichigo took a sharp breath but said, "As long as you stay away from Kenpachi..."

Yuzu smiled and said, "Well, I really like Yachiru, so Ken-chan likes me. I really think Bya-kun is so KAWAII!"

Ichigo raised an eyebrow at his sister and he went into Soul Form. She pressed his badge to her chest, and he gasped when he saw her. She was in a form-fitting white Shinigami uniform with a cream-colored obi. Her sandals were Stealth Force's style, and black. Her hair was tied back, but the most impressive things were that her hair was a bright orange, like Ichigo's, and her eyes were a shocking blue, like ice. Her uniform cut off at her elbows, showing off her tattoo on her right forearm. It was five interlocking black chain links, and they looked eerily like the Chains of Hell. Ichigo was unnerved by that and Yuzu saw his look, "I think you got it right, Nii-san, I have control over the Chains of Hell. I was released from being a Sinner, on the condition that I could wrangle any that escaped."

"How did you hide this? It's been six years, you're eighteen now!" He threw his hands in the air as if to solidify his point.

Yuzu looked at her brother and giggled, "Can we go see Byakuya-Taicho?"

Ichigo sighed, and opened a Senkaimon. He had taken a vacation from his new post as 6th Division's Fuku-Taicho to see his family, only to learn of this. He knew he would've found out because he lived in the Seireitei now, so he accepted it.

He led her through as two Hell Butterflies fluttered out past them.

He watched as Yuzu's hair, now down to her lower back, fluttered in the soft breeze. He realized how much she'd grown. She was an adult now, she was up to his shoulder, not just above his waist. He sighed and watched her smile at him. Then he thought of something, "Do you have a crush on my Taicho?" She blushed.

"No... I..."

"Come on, Yuzu. You've always told me everything. I told you when I figured out I loved Rukia. I told you before I proposed to her! Hell, I told you before I told Byakuya!" She raised her hands in mock-surrender.

"Ichi-nii, I don't have a crush on him. In the line of a book I recently read, '...I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.'"

Ichigo whistled lowly, "That much, huh?"

Yuzu nodded and looked at her older brother with watery eyes, "But I know he can never love me back!"

Ichigo hugged her as they exited the Senkaimon, where Byakuya, Renji, Rukia, and Ukitake were waiting, "I thought the same about Rukia.

"You just have to give him a chance. Their family is a stubborn bunch. As I know well." He winked at her, and she blushed even brighter as he kissed her forehead.

He walked over, bowed to Byakuya, and hugged Rukia, careful of her baby bump. Byakuya looked at him as he put a hand on her stomach. "Have you been to Retsu yet?"

She shook her head, "Byakuya-sama and I agreed to wait for you. Are you sure you want to make Ukitake-Taicho the godfather?"

Ichigo smiled, "As long as Retsu is the godmother. She would kill me otherwise. She REALLY wanted to be my firstborn's godmother, seeing as she was married to Isshin before he lost his powers."

Rukia smiled, and nodded. Then Ichigo heard someone else chime in.

"So long as it is not the Were-cat, I shall not kill you... Yet, Kurosaki-Fuku-Taicho."

The group of five blinked. "Kuchiki-Taicho, You made a joke..." Yuzu said in a bubbly voice, before she fell over laughing.

The group, now minus Renji, made their way to the 4th. Retsu was waiting for them, and Ichigo hugged her, "Captain Mom." He said, being the only one that can get away with that.


After the examination, She smiled at them, "Do you want to know?" They looked at each other, and then at Unohana, nodding. "It's a boy."

Ichigo's eyes lit up, and he whispered something to Rukia, with her nodding, before looking at Byakuya, who had a hand resting on Rukia's stomach, a barely-there smile on his face. "We're going to name his Sojun Kuchiki."

Byakuya's jaw dropped slightly, and then he looked at Ichigo, "You surprise me, Lieutenant. You are taking my last name, and naming my nephew after my father?"

Ichigo smiled, "Actually, it was Rukia's idea, but yes, I went along with it. I thought it would make you happy, and I wanted to do something to get in your good graces for once."

Byakuya smirked at his Lieutenant, and Rukia put her hand on his, "Is that okay, Byakuya-sama?"

He nodded, and looked to Yuzu, "Are why are you here, Kurosaki Yuzu?"

She waved her hand, "Just Yuzu. I'm here because I came to train with you, Kuchiki-Taicho."

The two left, leaving the couple talking with Retsu. They walked in silent companionship to the training ground, and Byakuya drew his Zanpakuto. "I am not going to hold back, Yuzu."

She nodded, and he waited for her to make the first move. She made a fist with her right hand, and a chain snapped, just long enough to reach his sword. He Shunpoed out of the way easily, only for another snap of the chain, grazing his wrist as he jerked his hand away. She smirked, and used her own Shunpo, which could match his, to get closer. He moved out of the way, and they engaged in a dangerous, beautiful dance of alternating with attacks and defending. It ended when Yuzu trapped Byakuya's hands above his head with a black chain, but couldn't stop her momentum, and toppled into him. They fell to the ground, his arms above his head, and her straddling his waist.

"I-I'm s-so-sorry!" She squealed, and disbanded the chain. He raised an eyebrow, and she shifted uncomfortably, making a lump rise in his throat as she was sitting on a rather... sensitive area. She saw a pink tint rise on his face, and seemed to finally realize the precarious position they were in. She hurried to get up, and he grabbed her wrist, "You are getting better, Yuzu-chan. Though, I would appreciate not getting tackled after a training session." She blushed, and he let her up, disappearing into his division. (A/N: I think we all know what for! ;) ) Yuzu sat in his office, on his couch, which was rather comfortable, when he returned.

"Where did you go?" She asked, standing.

"My third seat got himself stuck in a wall. They needed my help to get him out, the morons." He sighed silently as he sat at his desk. He had finished his paperwork for the day, and picked up a book. He pulled a pair of glasses out of his top left drawer, and she grinned, "I didn't know you wore glasses!" He looked at her over the rim of his glasses.

"Only you, Kurosaki-Fuku-Taicho, and Rukia know I wear glasses. I only wear them while I read."

Yuzu tilted her head, and rested a hand on his desk, reading the book over his shoulder. "They make you look... approachable, and younger. More sophisticated." He raised an eyebrow and turned in his swivel chair to glance at her sideways, "I do not usually appear sophisticated?"

She shook her head, and sat on his desk, "You do, just this gives more the appearance of... a college senior cramming for a test, or something." He chuckled briefly, and Yuzu blushed. He gazed at her, making her blush deepen, and making her shift on the desk. "Stop staring!" She demanded, and he started reading again. She sat on the couch again and called his name.

"Kuchiki-Taicho, come sit on the couch. It has to be much more comfortable than that chair." He stood and sat next to her. He read for a while, her reading while leaning on his shoulder. After a while, he set the book down, and made to get up, but Yuzu didn't move. He looked down at her, and realized she had fallen asleep leaning on him. He laid her down on the couch, and put his book and glasses away. He picked her up, not wanting to wake her, and carried her while using Shunpo to get home. She buried her face into his chest and sighed, "Byakuya..."

He looked at her, thinking she had woken up, but she had spoken in her sleep. He laid her in a guest room, and asked a servant to change her into a yukata. He got himself ready for bed, and made sure Rukia and Ichigo were asleep. Finding Rukia spooned against Ichigo, her hand under his protectively over her five month pregnant tummy. He smiled a bit to himself about how the boy's Reiryoku unconsciously wrapped around the two protectively, knowing Rukia was in good hands.


"Kuchiki-Taicho?" He looked at Yuzu sitting across the table from him and she said, "I heard you had the day off today."

"I do." He responded, and she bit her lower lip softly, his attention directed to how soft they looked, and how cute she looked doing that. He immediately pushed the thoughts out of his head, and continued, "Why do you ask?"

"I was wondering if you'd show my around Inuzuri?" He blinked.

"Why ever would you want to go there?" She wrung her hands together and said, "Well, I've always wanted to see where Rukia grew up. But I didn't want to go alone." He pinched the bridge of his nose, and closed his eyes.

After a moment, he relaxed and said, "I shall accompany you." She smiled and he said, "Change into an outdoor yukata, nothing fancy, and meet me by the gate in ten minutes."

She changed, opting to leave her hair down, and pulled on her shoes as she stepped outside. He was waiting for her, and they Shunpoed to the Rukongai. They wandered, and came across a run-down hut. Byakuya looked at it and said with a bot of venom in his tone, "This is where Rukia grew up." Yuzu immediately turned, "There's nothing you could've done, Kuchiki-T-"

"Byakuya. Don't say my name here. We don't need attention drawn to us." She nodded, flushing.

"Again, nothing you could have done... Byakuya-san." He looked at some of the looks she was getting from some men in an alley, and he put an arm around her shoulders, giving them the Kuchiki Death Glare. They backed off and he whispered in her ear.

"You are attracting unwanted attentions, Yuzu-chan." They walked past the hut, and entered a ramen shop. An old lady caught sight of Byakuya and smiled, "Byakuya-san!" She waved, and he nodded, sitting at the bar. they were each given a bowl of beef ramen, which they ate, and they talked for a while. they walked around, looking at some of the venders. While they walked, Yuzu caught sight of something.

She walked to the stall, and the old lady running the stand smiled at her, "See something you like, dear?"

She grinned, and pointed at a bracelet. It was a simple black chain, but had a sakura charm on it, the charm was pink, with a thin diamond outline. Byakuya walked up behind her, and put an arm around her waist, making her blush furiously, but she saw the looks she was getting this time, and was glad Byakuya would do this for her. "Do you want that?" He asked, his lips brushing the hair above her ear as he whispered it to her. He handed over the necessary amount of money, and she hooked the bracelet on his wrist.

"You two are so cute together. I hope you are happy. Ah, young love..." The woman smiled a toothless smile as Byakuya guided Yuzu away.


Well, I wanted to do a little different pairing for once, and I couldn't come up with a Zanpakuto for Yuzu-chan. So I gave her the Chains of Hell. They give her the power to bind any loose Sinners and send them back to Hell, or are just normal chains fused with her Reiatsu for normal people... or Shinigami. So what do you think? Should I continue? Review, please!
