Set about a few years after Aizen's defeat. Ichigo and Rukia are married, and Ichigo is now working in Ishida's hospital as one of the head surgeons.

STAWBERRY WHITEMOON

Kurosaki Ichigo is shunpoing as if there is no tomorrow.

Silently cursing at the distance Ishida's Hospital is to his home, trying to shake the immeasurable fear forming inside his body with every second that pass. Be safe.. Rukia. Please.

He was in the middle of a by-pass heart operation when he felt Rukia's surge of reiatsu, followed by the unsheathing of her zanpakutou. It was only a matter of seconds when he felt Sode No Shiyaruki's first dance - "White Moon". His body tensed as Rukia kept using her 'first release', almost every five minutes. He was at the brink of total wreck when Ishida suddenly appeared beside him, wearing his gloves and surgery masks, nudging him to go home to check his family. He can't recall if he was even able to thank his quincy friend, what he remembered though is that he probably had broken the Guinness record's fastest human to spirit transformation for he was in his shinigami form in almost one second.

It could be a menos grandes, or another arrancar – for Rukia will never release her zanpakutou just to defeat an ordinary hollow especially when she is with their sons. Even after Aizen's death few years ago, and the destruction of the houyogku, they had remained vigilant for the possibility of having a new 'breed' of hollows, and what a perfect time for these kinds of hollow to attack. Argh. Where is his freaking son of a bitch father when he needed him most? The orange haired substitute shinigami frustratedly thought. The old pervert has been constantly inviting himself in their house for the past few weeks, and he – Kurosaki Ichigo has been literally kicking him out every chance that he gets.

Ichigo clutched Zangetsu tightly as he turned towards their house, feeling more and more anxious with the eerie silence that greeted him as he entered their living room,

"RUKIA?"

"RUKIA??" another surge of panic started attacking him, when no one answered his call.

He started walking around the room, keeping an eye to sudden movements around him, but still, no signs of Rukia nor his twins. Finally deciding that he is not liking any of these, he gripped Zangetsu with his both hands and shouted..

BAN-KAI!!

As the smoke of his bankai cleared, a certain raven haired shinigami suddenly kicked him in the shin, leaving him bewildered, lying on the floor.

"What the.. R-Rukia? The kids..?"

"What do you think you're doing baka?! Going bankai mode inside the house?! Why are you here anyway?! Don't you have a by-pass something something at the hospital??" A glaring Kuchiki Rukia pressed her foot on his chest, making him immovable for a moment.

"I… I.. S- Sode No Shiyaruki's first dance.. I thought you're in danger.." obviously still under the state of shock, Kurosaki Ichigo looked confusedly at his wife who is now starting to laugh uncontrollably.

"Wh-What's so funny?! I was worried, you bitch! I left an important operation and you're just going to laugh at my face?! What's happening here Rukia??" the orange haired shinigami started picking himself up and glowered at his Mrs Kurosaki who is now laughing maniacally, tears flowing freely from her eyes.

"I… I never thought you'd panic like that.. doing.. bankai on the living room..HILARIOUS! .. I can't.. wait to tell Renji..or Nii-sama.." Rukia tried to reply in between laughing and wiping her tears.

"I.. I was trying… to make strawberry ice cream for the kids, the refrigerator isn't working, so I tried doing it with my first dance instead.. Oh my Ichigo, you should see your face!!" she added, still finding it difficult to stop laughing.

"Strawberry… Ice… Cream… ??"

"Yeah! It was your dad's idea, he's in the kitchen, eating with the children!" his wife answered, wiping the remainder of her tears.

Ichigo sighed gripping Zangetsu even more, Kurosaki Isshin is a deadman.
