It was raining as I walked down the street from the party at Tatsuki's home. Drunk off my ass was one way to describe the night. Drinking to subdue the pain of the two wars I had been in and the lives that I had to take had become a normal every night thing. Seventeen and being a war hero of two of the worst wars in soul society's history had to mean something but it only brought the pain of the lives I had to take in order to protect my friends and family to the front of my mind. But the worst was the friends that I couldn't protect. Sure they knew what they were getting into but did they really have to die? Each drink I had taken only subdued the emotion buried it under the surface but I knew I couldn't keep doing this forever. My friends and family had no clue how to help me and now that even the soul society didn't need or want me what was I supposed to do. Sure we had the occasional hollow every now and then but their deaths never satisfied my need to protect. So saki and whiskey would have to take the place of my emotions and hopefully would drown my sorrows away. My stumbling trip home hadn't gone unnoticed by the local thugs and sure I was way too drunk to fight the ten of them but that wouldn't stop me before and it wouldn't stop me now.
They were beating the shit out of me and for the first time in forever I felt good as this was my punishment for not being able to save everyone. Maybe they would kill me, maybe I would be paralyzed all I knew was that I had no way to stop them. My hollow was screaming inside my head to fight but I didn't care there was nothing to live for anymore but then out of nowhere a girl with crimson red hair was standing over me as the ten ran away. I was too weak to stand or walk alone and she knew it but that didn't stop her from helping me to my feet and taking me home. She was asking me simple questions like where I lived and what my name was but my only answer was
"You're beautiful"
The girl had blushed at my comment but then soon enough we were in front of my house out of the blue. She had helped me in and into my room without goat face catching me which was nice as his constant badgering about my drinking had become a sore spot for the two of us as he didn't want the twins following my example. Helping me into my own bed ever so gently I was mesmerized by her beauty and asked if I could have a picture of my guardian angel only to see her frown and whisper "I am no angel" but I didn't let her comment affect my thoughts. Taking my phone out she laid next to me and helped take a picture of the two of us but a sudden feeling happened. Something I had never had before was there dwelling in my loin and as I turned to face her I kissed her on the cheek. She was clearly shocked at my action and had turned to ask me why but I couldn't contain myself as I grabbed her and pressed my lips ever so gently to hers. Was it the alcohol or the lust that had consumed me I didn't know but the kiss was the most amazing thing I had ever experienced. I had given her my first kiss and she willingly accepted but then the passion of the kiss led to the most amazing night of my entire life. I had given her all of me and she had done the same and as we laid in my bed I prayed that in the morning I would find out the name of the goddess that would hopefully help me change my life.
Waking the next morning to an empty bed I wondered if I had dreamt the entire experience and told myself that it had to be but the moment I looked at my phone and found the picture I knew that I had to find her. Getting dressed and running down stairs to the kitchen to find Yuzu and Karin eating breakfast I had to ask "Hey did you two see a girl with red hair leave this morning?" Both were shocked at the question but when Yuzu asked "Ichi-nii , did you drink too much again last night?" I knew that neither would be any help. I had to find her! Turning to run back upstairs my father stood there all serious and before I could even ask he grabbed me by my shirt and put me against the wall. "Ichigo I have warned you about drinking, and now it's affecting your mind. I can't have that around the girls so my options are limited either you have to move out or quit drinking! You have lost a lot and I understand that but son you can't keep ruining your life or those around you."
I had a feeling this day was coming and yesterday I would have said I would leave but the girl was the only thing on my mind. I had never felt this way and here I was acting like a loon. Looking at my father I replied "I will never drink again but you have to help me find her!" Goat face was confused as I said this had he expected me to leave the family I had fought so hard for? "Who do you have to find Ichigo?" Pulling out my phone I brought up the picture of the goddess that had saved me. Pointing the phone at the three who thought I was going crazy I said again "I need to find her! I don't know why but my soul is telling me I have to find her." My family was in shock as they stood there staring at the picture in shock as they now knew I wasn't nuts but it was Yuzu who noticed it first "Ichi-nii is that girl in your bed with you?" I should have known what was to come but as my father began to scream "Masaki our grandkids are on the way" as he ran through the house I couldn't help but punch him in his jaw knocking the dumbass to the floor.
Knowing I would get no help here I went to the only person I knew could help me. She would be pissed that I hadn't been around and would be even more upset that I was asking for her help out of the blue but I prayed she would help me. I had left my body at the house as I shunpoed to Kisuke's store. It felt good being in my spirit form I felt free. I hadn't moved this fast in the last six months and it was all coming back to me. Zangetsu was on my back and my hollow was screaming in my head "faster king faster!" All the while laughing. I could tell he was enjoying the show from inside and as we arrived the one person I had to be worried about beating my ass was standing there tapping her foot on the ground as if she knew I was coming. Kisuke was hiding his face behind his fan next to as if knowing what to expect but as I got in front of the two I did the only thing I could possibly think I apologized. Seeing her bright yellow eyes widen in shock she asked "Ok Ichigo what is going on that you need my help? Isshin said that grandbabies are involved and kept blabbering that you were a man now so spill it?"
"When I woke up this morning I thought it was a dream but I guess I made love to a girl last night when I woke up she was gone?"
The statement had surprised the two but when Kisuke asked "So how drunk were you last night that made this dream so real?" Smiling I took out my phone and pulled up the picture and before showing the two I replied "I was totally smashed and was getting my ass kicked by some thugs when she saved me. I don't remember much about getting home but I do remember the two of us lying in bed when I kissed her and then we" I couldn't believe my memory but the two in front of me were in shock. Letting Yoruichi and Kisuke see the picture they were stunned even more as I had proof of her existence. Before I could ask for their help the three of us noticed a hell butterfly.
"Ichigo Kurosaki please report to Soul Society Immediately"
This couldn't have come at a worse time! I wanted to tell the butterfly to tell the old man to go blow himself as I had something to do but I knew that if I didn't come they would send Kenpachi to retrieve me and I couldn't have that loon running around Karakura destroying the place. Sighing as I knew I had to go I asked to use the Zenkaikon in the back of Kisuke shop. Arriving at the gate I was welcomed by Rukia and Renji who had been sent to bring me to a captains meeting. Arriving at squad one and entering the hall I noticed all the captains staring at me as if happy to see me but I wasn't so sure I was happy to see any of them. Standing in front of Old man Yama I nodded which made him frown and nod back but before he could begin I asked
"Not trying to be rude but if this isn't important I need to get back to the living world I have something I have to do!"
Tapping his cane to the floor to silence all in the room had almost surprised me but when he replied " Ichigo Kurosaki I am sorry to disappoint you but this is very important. Tier Hallibel has informed us of a new threat in Hueco Mundo. The espada and the few shingami we have there have been trying to defeat a new threat but are having no luck. She has asked for you personally to join her and help in the protection of her home. Now while I know that you are still human and have a choice I am asking as is the Soul King for your cooperation as you are needed yet again."
Knowing that they wouldn't have asked unless it was important I accepted the duty of helping our allies. "Very well Kurosaki, I will inform the queen immediately of your acceptance. Now I must ask you to go to squad four for your required physical and then you will be leaving for Hueco Mundo. Nodding I proceeded to leave and when I arrived at squad four I was welcomed to a very happy Unohana who seemed insistant on doing my physical herself. I had noticed that the woman was usually the only one who ever saw to me when I was injured but seeing her squad ask if she wanted them to take over for her and her simple answer of "No thank you" I began to wonder what the deal was. Sitting down on the table before undressing the woman seemed her normal happy self but when she asked how I had been over the last seven months I wondered why she had a sudden interest.
"I have been fine, nothing new just looking to get this mission done so that I can get back home."
Her eyes hid nothing from me and I could tell she knew I was lying and in her ever so polite and calm manner she responded with "Ichigo lets make a deal that we must not lie to each other. Now why do you need to get back to the living world?" She knew and now that I had agreed to her deal I answered "Up till last night I have been a wreck, the memories haunt my very soul and the only thing that suppressed them was the alcohol that I drank to deaden my mind. Then out of nowhere a girl saved my life when I was getting my ass beat. She was kind, beautiful and from the moment our lips touched the rain and clouds inside my soul vanished. And when I awoke the next morning she was gone and I thought she was a dream until I found this" Showing her the picture on my phone she smiled ever so warmly
"I have to find her, I have to know why she left. My soul is telling me she is the one and I have to know if its true!"
"I wish you luck on your mission then and hope that you soul is right young Ichigo, Now lets get this over with and get you on your way!" Leaving Squad four after receiving a hug from Captain Unohana I was now going through the gargantua to Hueco Mundo and thinking well that was easy enough. Finding out that a battle was already in going on upon my arrival was not. Having to instantly pull Zangetsu was not what I wanted but it was a must as I was under attack the moment I showed up. But this was not what I expected the hollows had turned on Tier and the others and were now trying to take over Hueco Mundo. Raising my reiatsu to stop the fight all eyes were on me crushing each of them in to the ground I declared to all " Either leave or die Hueco Mundo is now under my protection!" With that I lifted my Reiatsu and let the attackers leave. Tier and Nel along with Grimmjow were happy to see me but my mind was still else were.
Each day a new battle was waged on the grounds of Hueco Mundo and each day I fought just to try and return to the living world. It didn't help that my soul, mainly Shiro was screaming at me to leave this place and to find the girl that had changed me but I was needed here weather I liked it or not. Yoruichi and Soi Fon had sent letters of their progress but had suddenly stopped as I guessed that the two were not having any luck only worsened my mood as I began to wonder how a girl could vanish in thin air. Nothing in this world was meant to be for a tainted soul as I had been called so many times but for once I hopped Shiro was right that this girl was the one I had been waiting for. The hollows and arrancar had begun to get along after only a few weeks of my arrival and now having dinner like normal with Tier and her faction the four had known something was wrong from the time of my arrival but hadnt pressed the issue until tonight when I had hardly ate. "Ichigo why have you been so depressed?" Tier asked and now telling the four what had happened and what I truly wanted to be doing seemed to shock the four. I figured I had offended them but it was Tier that chuckled and said "Now I understand this sadness, has any one explained to you how a hollow selects a mate?"
Answering that I didn't know she smiled and began " A hollow's mate isn't something he or she finds but something that they feel in the depths of their soul. Each hollow will have the same feelings and it is done, some say its instinct others say its what we lack in a heart that lets us find true love. You should know though that if you feel this way now you will always feel this way even if the other doesn't share your love. It is truly a viscous curse but one that we have all had to live with."
Hearing her words and beginning to understand it was as Shiro had kept yelling that the red headed girl was the one and that we truly did need to find her made everything clear on what I needed to do. But we still had much to do here in Hueco Mundo. It had been three months since I had seen her and now a new sense of peace and prosperity had swept over the kingdom under Tier's rule. But it was now time for me to go home and find the girl that had been in my every dream since the night we kissed. I had looked at our picture ever moment that I could as she had become my reason to live in another war that was not my own. Being called back to Soul Society before I could return to my search I wondered what else they could want. Arriving back in soul society with the espanda and Queen of Hueco Mundo had gathered a crowd. But seeing my friends and family from the living world waiting for me had filled my heart with joy but there was still one person missing. I had to find her! I had to know why she left me that night. But more so I had to know if she could want me like I so desperately wanted her. Seeing Old man Yama and the other Captains waiting as well I knew this was not just my welcome back party there had to be something else and sure enough "Ichigo we have another mission for you if you choose to accept."
The answer was easy "I do not accept, like I said before I have something I have to do!"
Seeing the old man open one of his eyes I knew there was something up as he usually would have given up by now but when he said "We know about the girl and possibly her location Ichigo. We wanted to help you find her since you helped us. The moment you left Yoruichi came to us asking for Captain Soifons help and the two might have found the girls location but we have to speak to one of the many rulers of the area. You see this will be a very delicate situation something I know that you are not used to." But I had heard only one thing and that was that they might of found her I had shunpoed to the Zenkaikon only to be detained by Soifon and Yoruichi. "Ichigo you need to come with us before we let you go see the girl. There is some sensitive information you need to know before you going running in full force." Looking at Yoruichi I wondered what they weren't telling me but did the best I could to listen when we arrived at squad ones barracks. Seeing Old man and the other captains along with the Espada waiting I knew something wasn't right.
Standing in front of them the old man began "Ichigo like I said we might have found the girl. But in order to see if our new knowledge is true we have to go through certain individuals in order to get you even close to her. You see we believe that the girl is a member of the 72 pillars, with that and who we think she is we have to go about this in the most delicate way possible. So tomorrow you will meet with the leader of the Yokai in order to get permission to enter their territory and to find out if our suspicions are in fact true of her identity."
The last sentence had shocked me as I was hearing that I was meeting a Yokai but whatever that meant I would be prepared. But the old man had not finshed his statement "As you will be going there I have decided that you will not be going alone. Per orders of the Soul king your true identity cannot be reveiled unless you or your guardians are in life threatening danger. As such your new name will be your fathers true last name from this point forward you are to be addressed as Ichigo Shiba as will the guardians who will be acting as your parents and sisters."
Guardians, true identity, and for once it seemed even the soul king was involved in this so something could not be right or I wasn't being told something. Accepting the orders I asked who would be my guardians while on this mission which even the captains were wondering who the soul king would want to go with me. Seeing the old man stiffen he tapped his cane to silence the whispers and "You will have four guardians sent with you. Captain Soifon had volunteered along with former Captain Shihoin of squad Two. Now the two other Guardians have no choice in this matter as they were ordered per the Soul King himself that Captain Retsu Unohana and Captain Kenpachi Zaraki. However Captain Unohana will meet with you once you arrive as she is on a special mission."
Shock was one word that had swept over everyone in the room the room was filled with commotion but before the Oldman could gain control Tier Hallibel raised her Reiatsu to gain control of the situation. Seeing what she had done the Old man decided to ask the Queen of Hueco Mundo if she had anything to add. Seeing her step forward she began "Over the last three months I have gotten to know the character of the boy standing before us. He is loyal to a fault and when he says something he will do it. After discussing it with my council of other espada. We have decided that from this day forward that Ichigo Kurosaki Shiba will be the crown prince of Hueco Mundo and any action taken against him will be viewed as an act of war as he will one day be my successor! We will also be sending a Guardian of our own as his personal protector."
Everyone was now silent as they took in her words and watching her stand before me and placed a hand on my chest a new feeling of pain came through my body seeing as she lifter her hand and a crown and hollow mask was now tattooed on my chest, I knew it signified my new title in Hueco Mundo. Now wondering who she would send as my body guard I got a sudden death hug I knew all too well and Nel saying as fast as she could "That she was now my personal protector." Seeing the team they had assembled I had to ask as there still wasn't something that wasn't being said but that didn't matter now as I had to pack for my trip to Kyoto. Getting to my home in the living world and packing while Nel waited downstairs I hoped this would be an easy transition but something was telling me with how many people they were sending they expected differently. Three of the strongest captains in the gotee thirteen along with a former captain were here to act as my guardians. And then to top it off the second strongest espada and my friend had been sent as my personal body guard.
Going downstairs to find my family and friends waiting to tell me their goodbyes I almost cried at seeing each of them but naturally Kisuke had to ruin the moment when he announced "Ichigo-kun I have brought gifts for you! I have been making these to help suppress your enormous Reaitsu along with a way for you to be able to use all of your abilities with your special body that the soul king bestowed on you. But I am most proud of this" seeing the small necklace in his hand I had to ask what it was for and as he handed it to Nel and pressed the gem stone in the center and I watched as the busty arrancar began to change into a younger teen version of herself. Seeing that now she was smaller and younger appearing, Kisuke said "Now young Nel here can be by your side all hours of the day as per Tier's orders. Also there has been a change of orders. Kenpachi will not be joining you and the others to Kyoto as it was decided his help was more suited for Hueco Mundo then for Kyoto instead a replacement has been ordered and is waiting for you outside. I think you will enjoy who the soul king and the old man have sent" Knowing Kisuke was up to something and as I opened the door and saw his smug emotionless face as he said "Gaki" I couldn't help but wonder why the hell he was sent stepping forward I asked "What the hell are you doing here Byakuya! I don't remember you ever being invited and you don't even like me so why are you here?" His stone face showed emotion as he began "I am here on orders just like the rest however I was given this letter and I will not go against the kings orders. But to say I do not like you Ichigo is a misunderstanding, you gave me the chance to know my sister and saved her life but also helped me keep a promise to my Hisana as such I owe you a debt and this is the way I will wipe the slate clean."
Hearing his words I knew I would have no choice and turning back to my friends and family I thanked them for see me off and that I would miss them but now it was time for me to find the girl that I had been dreaming about. Gathering my things and ready to go I was pulled into my inner world by the two spirits that I had long accepted as a piece of my souls seeing the two standing before me with small smiles . "King we both don't like this, there is something they aren't telling us! Don't tell me you're not thinking it as well"
Shiro was right I had been thinking the same thing but seeing the Old man Zangetsu come forward and put a hand on my chest he smiled "Ichigo while I agree there is something not being said and that worries me, the girl has changed everything in here and the rain is gone. While I agree we must find her we also must keep our guard up as nothing will stand in our way of helping you find your happiness!"
"Damn right its not! We will find the Queen and any that stand in our way will deal with ME!"
Laughing at how excited the two seemed to find her I left and hoped that there enthusiasm would be rewarded. Going back downstairs with my bags and ready to leave I met up with my five guardians and couldn't help but chuckle at the way the family would look arriving especially with Yoruichi and I not have the standard black hair but it was Soifon that reassured me that everything would be just fine. Like we had planned Kyoto was our first stop and now seeing the Shrine that we were told to meet at it Byakuya that stated "Whatever happens here Ichigo let the four of us handle it, do not I repeat do not let your emotions take ahold of you. This is the very reason I was sent, I will negotiate everything in a Noble manner. Is this understood?" Nodding as I knew it would do no good to argue Byakuya asked Yoruichi and soifon to get infront of me and he and Nel took the rear in a four way defensive pattern. Wondering why they did this it was Byakuya that whispered "Everyone keep an eye out, these people do not know us and we do not know them but above anything else protect prince gaki!" Hearing them chuckle I wanted to smack the asshole but couldn't help but chuckle myself. Being welcomed by a group of armed men and now being escorted to a hall deep inside the shrine I couldn't help but think we were walking into a trap but when the halls opened up and the four of us noticed a young woman sitting on top of what could be considered a throne and a small girl on her lap the mood began to lighten.
Seeing the woman wave off her guards and asking us to sit Byakuya stepped forward and began "Greetings Lady Yakasa we are here to ask permission to pass through your territory" before he could say anything else she had put a hand up to silence him and now staring directly at me began "So this is the new crowned prince of Hueco Mundo, I am surprised that the hollows would ever allow a shinigami to hold such a title." Knowing what she meant I answered "I am not just a Shinigami but I understand your notion as I would have never saw me becoming a prince ether." Seeign her smirk at my statement and ask "So if your not just a Shinigami then what are you?" Looking at Byakuya for confirmation I told the woman known as Yakasa "I am what they call a visord I also have hollow powers."
Yakasa was clearly stunned at my statement and now asked if I could prove what I said as she had never heard of such a thing but I refused as I explained "if I released that aspect of my soul here I could hurt if not kill a lot of innocent people just by the surge of my rieatsu. However I can manifest my hollow if you like." Seeing her nod and releasing Shiro to the open I was surprised when he didn't go ape shit like always and was respectful for him as he waved at the little girl on yakasa's lap and asked "Do you want a real show or is this good enough as your guards that surround us are getting nervous?" Seeing Yakasa nod and answer "That is good enough thank you Shiro returned to my inner world. Now getting to the business at hand Yakasa began "While I know who the girl you seek I am afraid that you could not come at a worse time. However I do not want to make an enemy of you or your factions and ask that if I give permission for you to pass through my lands and give you the girls location will our factions continue peace?" Looking to Byakuya and seeing his nod I answered "I would like that very much" to which she smiled and said "Thank you, the girl is in a small town near by called Koah. I will set you up a meeting with one of the four leaders of that faction as you will also need their permission to be there. I hope everything goes well for you." Without another word the woman and her daughter walked us out and we were now on our way to Kuoh.
Arriving in the small town I had an eerie feeling but I had that same feeling where ever I went anymore. Getting to the house that they had been told to go to I was stunned at the two story home. Getting inside and being greeted by Captain Unohana who I assumed arrived earlier I now took in the features of the large home. It was fully open and clean and smelled of lilies. Wood floors along with modern furniture made the home warm and now seeing the happy Captain Unohana take charge of the five of us that just arrived I wondered what we were in for
"Lady Yoruichi and Captain Soifon you will scout the entire area as your arrival has surely drawn some attention. Report anything back to us immediately! Also while we are here I would like us to not use formalities and titles as we are now a family and I will look after each of you as if you were my own. In public I will be called mother at home just Retsu will be fine. As Byakuya will be considered the father of the house hold you will address him as father when in public or Byakuya at home. As for the rest of you ladies you will all be considered our daughters and Ichigo's sisters. Each of us was brought here for a reason and while we are here we will act as a family or you will deal with me is that understood?"
Everyone of us knew not to anger the woman of two smiles and feared what she would do if we didn't agree but we also knew she was doing this for all of us. Watching as the two who had orders from our new mother left I wondered what tomorrow would bring as hopefully I would get to see the girl I had been dreaming about. But first we must get past the guardian of whose land we were on. Retsu had prepared tea for our visitor along with cookies and as we waited. The girls had made it back safely before our visitor and Byakuya even had time to start teaching me about being a Nobile as it would someday be a part of my life as a new prince.
As we had expected a knock was at our front door and as Soifon answered the door a small teen like girl with twin braids and what looked like a magical girl clothing and even had a wand. Surely this couldn't be who they had sent but sure enough I was wrong. Retsu was a natural at entertaining and even Byakuya was enjoying himself with the child like women. But then the seriousness took over and the talk of business had begun. The woman known as Serafall Leviathan began
"What are Shinigami doing in Kuoh?"
Retsu had smiled at the girl and answered "We are here so that our son can finish school"
Serafall had looked in my direction and smiled but then turned back to my new mother and her look of seriousness would even scare me. "Let's cut the lies right now. I know who you are Retsu Unohana of squad 4 as well as all but the young man and the green haired girl. It is my job to know anyone from not around so please let's not lie to each other. Why are you here?"
Before Unohana could respond to the woman Byakuya began "We are here to make sure the boy finishes school. He is of great importance to the Soul King and for that reason he sent us to guard him."
Nodding at his statement she smiled and replied "I will allow it but don't see the point of three captains and a former captain all being dispatched here to look after this boy. So please do not cause trouble in our home. And while I understand why you're here I also feel there is something you are not telling me and while I do not care I will find out."
Without another word the girl snapped her finger and a magic circle appeared under her feet and then she disappeared. Not knowing what to expect for tomorrow I made my way to bed as it had been a long day and hoped that tomorrow I would get to see the girl of my dreams.
Waking the next day to a screaming Hollow and a very excited arrancar was not my idea of a good morning but see that Nel was in her new disguise and yelling "Mommy made breakfast!" I knew I had better eat as it was going to be a long day. Arriving at my new school along with Nel and Soifon it should have felt like any other school but here I was surrounded by girls and there were very few guys from what I could see. Dropping off Nel at her first class and walking with Soifon to our first class I noticed a girl walking in front of me with the same crimson red hair that I remembered her scent had swept into my soul and even Shiro was screaming in my head "ITS HER KING! IT'S THE QUEEN!" But there was something wrong. She was surrounded by a group of friends I was assuming along with two males. Her scent had somehow changed and as she turned as if knowing that someone was watching her I found out why her scent had changed she was pregnant!
How could this have happened? Well the answer was obvious but was it mine? Not wanting to be disappointed I couldn't fight the urge to run as I needed to clear my head. Running past the other students even before Soifon could keep up I was outside and on the roof. How could this have happened from just one night? Was this my destiny? Sure we had sex but it was just one time and even if it was just that once I would have assumed she would have been on the pill. But I was sorely mistaken. I had decided that I would not go to class today as I needed a personal day to gather my thoughts and would send Soifon or even Nel later to ask the girl over for dinner. But the worst part of this my father was right his and my mother's grandchild was on the way.
The rest of the day was a blur as I stayed on the roof until the end of school and Nel and Soifon had found me. Asking if I was going to be alright with what was going on I still had no answers. Soifon on the other hand was not as caring as Nel. "Kurosaki I am sorry for your luck but we need to go home our new mother will be waiting and I am not going to be the one to explain to her that we were late cause you are having a mental breakdown." Looking at her after the last comment I could tell she was trying to get me out of my own head and it had worked. "Thanks Soifon." Seeing her nod I asked if they were ready to go home when I heard a girl scream. The voice I had heard before and now looking over the edge of the building a could see a man and a group of women beating the crap out of the friends that were trying to protect her but it was his words that set a fire in my soul.
"You Whore! Couldn't wait till our wedding night and had one of your peerage take what was rightfully mine and now you will have his child! I think not if it is the last thing I do I will rid us of your dishonor!"
The blonde man was searing with anger as he yelled at her while she cried for him to please stop. But her words had fallen on deaf ears. Hearing her screaming not to hurt them and they weren't the father did nothing for the blonde man but it told me what I needed to know. My orders were clear "the Blond haired bastard is mine!" Just as he was about to hit her with a closed fist I appeared and prevented his attack while sending him flying into the group of woman with a kick to his stomach. My rage had consumed everything I was seeing and if not for the old man I would have probably let Shiro out as he continued to scream that he wanted the bastards blood! Not even caring that the man was now on his feet I turned and I had gotten lucky when Soifon and Nel had gotten behind me and in front of the girl in a battle position. "Get the girl and her friends to mother I will deal with this personally" with that the two understood what I was about to do. Watching as the two grabbed the girl and her friends and shunpoed away I couldn't help but smile as we had taken them by surprise. The blonde bastard with his smug look had now finally took me seriously along with his group of females and asked "What business do you have with my fiancé?"
The answer was easy but I knew better then to show my hand right off the bat and replied "My business is my own but you will leave her alone or you will face the consequences of your actions!"
"My name is Riser Phenex of the Phenex clan of the 72 pillars peasant and since you are interfering in a matter of my clans business prepare to die!
His words had made me laugh but it was now my turn to introduce myself! "I am Ichigo Shiba and I will be the one who decides if I live or die today!"
Before I could even pull Zangetsu from my back a new crimson haired man and a silver haired maid began walking forward and the man seemed pissed! Now this guy was radiating off some power but still it wasn't enough to make me worry. Hearing him yell "STOP THIS NOW" I didn't know if I should listen or not but I wasn't about to back down till I heard "Scatter Senbonzakura!" Byakuya was now standing in front of me as his pink petals swirled around us in a formation to protect the two of us from this new man and his maid.
"You will stand down Shinigami at once!" The man yelled but Byakuya stood his ground letting the petals continue to swirl around us at an even faster pace. "That was an order from Sirzechs Lucifer Shinigami it would be wise if you do not want to go to war to stand down NOW!" But Byakua didn't budge and now stated in his ever so cold tone "Your people have already declared War by letting that man and his followers attack the girl and threaten the boy!" His statement had shocked the two and seeing that Byakuya was not standing down from the man or his maid. The man turned to the Blonde bastard and asked if what we had said was true the man didn't deny his actions as he felt it was well within his right as her intended but now as he pointed to me I smiled as the man now known as Riser Phenex spoke "This isn't over! You will be held responsible by the Maou for interfering peasant!" And with that a magical circle appeared and he and his group disappeared. Seeing the maid step forward and ask where the girl and her peerage were, Byakuya didn't answer but instead asked "Are we done here?"
The question was not answered by the maid but instead by the man known as Sirzechs Lucifer "When you tell me were my sister and her peerage are then yes we are done here!" The girl was his sister? Looking at Byakuya I nodded and he sheathed his sword. Seeing the maid and the man loosen up a bit after the sword was sheathed I decided to ask "Does this mean we are at war? Since I stopped his attack and as he threatened your sister and myself? I would figure as a member of your fraction that decided to threaten us in front of his ruler this would be considered an act of war. Is that what his threat meant? Does your fraction want war?"
"While I do not know who you truly are, I will say that Riser Phenex does not represent our fraction but is a member of the 72 pillars and under my rule. While I am glad that you defended my sister in her time of need you also have to understand that she is betrothed to him and that he feels that a great injustice has been done because of her actions. And as such he is well within his rights to question her about what she did. As she dishonored her own clan and his by doing what she did! I am sorry if you feel that his act of disrespect was an act of war towards you but that was not what he intended nor do we want a war with soul society."
The man was a smooth talker but not nearly as smooth as one of my mentors but when I replied "Oh I didn't consider his challenge to me the act of war. I considered him and his peerage attacking the mother of my child an act of war and one that will be punished by my hand!" The man and the maids eyes grew large the moment I had truly told them why I was here.
"You are the one that did this to my sister?"
The man was boiling with anger I could see it from his skin tone and when I answered that "Yes I am the one that caused this and now that I am here no one will harm her or my child! I swear this on my life nothing will stop me from protecting her or the child nothing, so if you or your fraction try and harm her again you will deal with me!"
I could tell he wanted to attack me but his maid was holding him back. Byakuya decided to interrupt the two of us before the battle began and asked the maid "Would you care to have tea and an early dinner with us this afternoon so that we can discuss this situation in a more civilized manor? I feel that we all need time to calm down and I put it on my honor that your sister is not in any danger as she is with the boy's grandmother and the best healer in all of soul society. I would like to invite you and your family along with the girl's parents tonight. Will you accept?"
Now I was confused at the new information but the maid stepped forward and bowed "We will accept you invitation on the grounds of peace. There will be five of us coming tonight and we look forward to your hospitality."
Watching the maid bow and now turn to the still fuming man and whisper "Dear it's time to go" I knew now that she had to be the girls family as well as they disappeared via their magic circles. Turning to Byakuya I could tell by his expression that he had given away too much but my only question was "Is she really my grandmother?" Not answering my question and pulling out his phone I watched as he dialed Kisuke and as soon as he picked up he gave hat and clogs no greeting or anything but said "Get here as soon as you can we have a problem!" Looking back up at me after putting his phone away I asked again only to get "You need to talk to her about that." Before he shunpoed to the house with me closely on his heals ready to see the girl who I had been dreaming to see since the night she stopped the rain.
