Big Mamma

Theme Song: Funny Days – Yumichika Asegawa
Authoress Note: I got this idea whilst sitting on the city bus heading to my school. I was sooooo tired, and then I began to think of what the Shinigami from Bleach would look like as children. The cuteness that ensued would make any fangirl squeal… and I do mean any. Then I got to thinking… what kind of a person would take care of such roudy children? I then got the idea of an orphanage, and then it kind of went from there… the idea for the 'big mamma' character came from a hentai video I was watching… I DO WATCH THOSE FROM TIME TO TIME… And the girl just did not look like the type to be doing such things with men, but more of a… mother type character… So do enjoy, I plan to make this into a romance, this is M for swearing and *ahem* SEX.
Story Summary: What ideas might you get of the childhood of a Shinigami? Hopefully you don't think that they all have families. No I don't mean Marechyo or Yoruichi… I mean the shinigami that you see that have NO families. Those are the ones that were raised in Big Mamma's Orphanage. Who is Big Mamma you ask? Well, her name is Suzuki Haragiro…

Suzuki looked about. All of the children, save one, were accounted for. And this one lone child that could not be accounted for… was none other than Hisagi Shuhei.
"Shu-chan!" Suzuki's melodious voice called out. "Shu-chan! It's time for dinner!" She heard a noise in a nearby thicket and went to investigate. There she found the boy, hung by the back of his sack-cloth shirt to a thorn tree, struggling to get loose.
"B-Big mamma!" He looked down at her and smiled in happiness. "Big mamma, please help me down! I'm stuck!" Suzuki simply smiled and freed the boy easily.
"Shu-chan, whatever were you doing in the thorn tree?"
"These big men came up to me and threw me up there saying that when I was a man I could get down! Then they just left me like that…" He looked up at her, tears beginning to form in his gentle brown eyes. "Big mamma, will I ever really be a man?"
"Of course you will" She pulled him into a deep hug, laying his head in motherly fashion against her bosom. "Those men you saw today weren't real men. You shouldn't listen to them."
"They're not? Then what are they?"
"Imitation men. They wish to be real men, like you, but they don't want to go the way real men go. So they pick on others who aren't real men yet, and torment them. This makes them feel like they are powerful and they think they are men. But they only wish it." Shuhei looked at her.
"Then… how do you become a man? Big mamma have you ever met any real men?"
"Heh… I have. Some of them grew up in this orphanage just like you. They all protect people and uphold the law… but they also know when to break the law."
"You mean they do bad things?"
"No, they simply ignore a law in order to do what is right, because not all laws are right all of the time."
"Well… How do you know?" She smiled at him.
"When the time comes, you will feel in your heart so strong that nothing anyone says can change what you know… and you will know deep down that it is right, with no doubts." With that, she ruffled his hair gently. "Now let's go home… I've got your favorite." His eyes lit up with glee.
"FRANKFERTERS! YAY!"

Nanao looked at all of the boys playing and sighed. She was one of the only girls in the orphanage. Isane and Kyone were always together off gathering flowers. Rangiku was with Gin off somewhere. So that more or less made her the only girl who was always there. But she simply enjoyed staying with big mamma. The little girl smiled at the fond memory of being brought to the orphanage.
"Nanao… You cannot simply run about as you have…" An old man in her rukongai district scolded her. "It isn't proper for a gentle girl like you."
"Then where will I go? No one will take me in." He smiled sadly.
"Oh there are many who would, but only one will give you a safe haven." He took her hand. "I will take you there… the woman is very kind you shall see." Nanao simply followed him to the orphanage.
"Oh! This is a place for boys! I can't stay here!" She began to walk away, but the man held her hand.
"This is a place for children who have nowhere else. This is a place for children who don't belong anywhere to belong to… This is a home for those children who no longer have homes, or who've never had homes." He led her up to a young, voluptuous young woman with long, waving blood red hair.
"Oh, who's this?" She looked to Nanao and smiled. "It's alright, child… My name is Suzuki, but you can call me big mamma." The man cleared his throat.
"Miss Suzuki… Nanao-chan here has nowhere to go…"
"Well, she does now." Suzuki thanked the man and led Nanao into the orphanage. "You'll have the room next to Kyone and Isane. They are the only other girls here, and they are sisters… maybe you three can have some fun girl time together."
"Miss…. Big mamma…"
"Yes?"
"Why do you take in children? Don't people look at you funny?" The woman laughed gently and nodded.
"Yes, a lot of people do. But a lot more people think of me as a kind person with a good idea." Nanao smiled.
"I think so too!"
"Really? Oh, I'm so happy, thank you, Nanao-chan!"
"Big mamma?"
"Mmmm?"
"When I grow up, I wanna be a lady just like you!"
Yes… Nanao wanted to be just like Big mamma. She was beautiful, kind, compassionate, and creative. She was also protective, straight forward, and never once did she not do something that she said she would do for them. And… She was a wonderful cook! Just the other day, big mamma had taught Nanao her secret recipe for sweet bean jelly, it was Nanao's favorite food of all that the woman cooked. Of course, big mamma's cooking was always amazing, so no matter what she was making all of the children would eat it. Just then, big mamma came out and looked over the bunch. She looked worried.
"Has any one seen Ikkaku or Yumi-chan?" All of the boys stopped playing. One after another, they nudged each other until Shinji Hirako was pushed to the front. He looked shyly up at big mamma and gulped.
"Big mamma… they left."
"Left?"
"Uhu. Ikkaku-san said he wanted to learn to fight and Yumi-chan went with him to keep an eye on him for you." The large-breasted woman sighed.
"Well… at least one of them has some sense… and I was going to make Ikkaku-chan's favorite too…" She shrugged. "Ah well. I can't very well go after them and make them come back…" Nanao rose and followed the woman back into the house. "Oh, Nanao-chan what's wrong?"
"Can you teach me how to cook more now?" Big mamma smiled.
"Of course, Nanao-chan!"

Suzuki finished dinner with Nanao's help and then Kyone and Isane helped them set the table. They boys all came in and ate, Shinji and Kisuke wouldn't stop fighting over the extra seat next to big mamma. Nanao sat on the other side, and no one would dare fight her. Isane and Kyone sat together next to Shuhei, who sat across from big mamma. Rangiku and Gin sat together on the other side of Shinji and Kisuke. Kaname sat at the furthest end of the table. He was the oldest of the group and he was getting ready to leave on his own, even though he was blind. Yes… to Suzuki, everything was going very smoothly.
But little did she know what was to come that night…
Just as she finished putting Nanao to bed, she heard a commotion outside. There were a lot of men, with torches, clubs, swords, and all sorts of other weapons. She stepped outside to see what they wanted.
"Suzuki Hiragiro?"
"Yes?"
"You run this orphanage? You take care of these worthless children?"
"These children are worthless only to those who would try to use them."
"If you love children so much have your own…" One man grabbed her arm. "We can help you with that." Another grabbed her shoulder. But she didn't panick, she merely shoved them all back with her kido. Then she smelled burning wood and turned. The orphanage was on fire! Ignoring the men, she rushed into the blazing building and began to wake the children and usher them out of the blaze. She got them all out in time, but the men were waiting.
"Let's kill em!" Suzuki rushed the children into the woods, hiding them all about the woods until she was running on her own. Then the group of men cornered her, pinned her to a tree with knives.
"Don't worry… We won't hurt you… much…" Just as they were about to cut her clothes off, another man came rushing in, with a pink-haired child upon his back and began to kill them. Once the last of them were either dead or running for their lives, he turned to her. She gasped, feeling his reiatsu pouring over her. He pulled the knives from her dusty kimono and helped her stand.
"Th-thank you."
"Hn. You should be more careful. Why were you running in the woods?"
"I used to own an orphanage not too far from here… Those men just burned it to the ground. I was able to get the children out and hide them in the woods…Now I just need to find them."
"Lady, do you realize how far you've just ran?"
"Huh?"
"You're in Kusajishi." She blanched.
"Wha… But… that's three districts away!" The man grunted. "Finding the children will be harder than I thought… Thank you… Um… I don't happen to know your name…"
"Kenpachi. Kenpachi Zaraki."
"Well, thank you, Kenpachi, for saving my life. I must be going now, I need to find the children."
"Good luck. I hope you can find them all." The man simply disappeared through the trees. Suzuki blanched at the daunting task ahead of her… having to find all of her children, who could be in any of four districts!
