Chapter I

What was happening?

I awoke, squinting my eyes against the bright light. My mouth tasted like cotton, and in general, I felt like a bucket of dog crap. Not only that, but I couldn't remember what happened. Why am I here? Where is here?

As these questions filtered through my mind, I didn't notice the new presence entering the room. A smooth yet teasing voice infiltrated the room, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Ichigo Kurosaki. I never would have thought that you would get caught." A carefully concealed, yet obviously there voice taunted. "Aizen-Sama has shown some interest in you for some reason…" I twitched when I realized it was Gin Ichimaru, the biggest pain in the ass that was ever born. "He's going to be visiting you later with some interesting news. It makes it especially interesting since he won't tell me. Have a good day now."And with those final words, Gin left. Did he… Did her really come here just to taunt me? He must have a lot of time on his hands.

Finally, with much trial and error, I managed to sit. I looked at the room I was in. It was white. No surprise there, but it was large. The bed was rather comfortable. Oh, and the sheets and blankets were soft! So comfortable...

"Ichigo Kurosaki." I jumped at the noise. It was that Aizen's voice."It's good to see you again."

"I wish I could say the same, fucktard. Now what the fuck do you want?" Aizen merely smiled at my display of defiance.

"Ichigo, such a foul mouth does not suit a lady. Though I do admire your desire to get down to business. Your mother was the same, at least in that aspect."

"Why are you bringing up my mom?" I was horrified that he didn't even have the respect to leave the one person I had cared about most out of a conversation. "Leave her out of this!"I growled softly. A rage I hadn't previously thought existed, simmered below the surface, and I wanted to just let it go.

Aizen sighed, a weary sound that Ichigo didn't like too much, for reasons unknown. "That will be a problem, Ichigo, for she is a key component to have this conversation with you. I must bring her up to inform him about the lies you have been raised around, and the truth you will most likely be horrified and angered at." He paused for a moment, contemplating on how to phrase his next choice of words.

"You know, your father and I were friends a long time ago before I betrayed the soul society. We both met Masaki at the same time, on a patrol. Isshin and I both fell in love with her, but we knew we both could not have her." Butterflies raged in my stomach. "But, Masaki chose me." Stunned and horrified and sick were the only words to describe my feelings. " I know what you're thinking, don't interrupt. I took her back to the soul society, where we continued our relationship as lovers. But, one fateful day, there was a rip occurred between the soul society and Hueco Mundo."

Flashback

"GODDAMMIT!" A loud bellow shook Seireitei like an earthquake. "What else can go wrong?" Head-Captain Yamamoto hissed to himself. "Attack the hollows now!"

"Masaki." The charismatic Sosuke Aizen said the name so gently, one would wonder if it were truly him. "You… You must go to the world of the living… You'll be so much safer there, and you know Isshin will take care of you, and-"

"S-sosuke… I'm sorry, but I can't… I have to tell you something…" He raised a questioning eyebrow. "I-I'm… I'm pregnant w-with your baby…" Tears dripped down her face as she explained.

To say Aizen was shocked was a huge understatement. An almost-shocked expression went over his face before he schooled his feature back to their normal calm, though he was anything but.

"Masaki, this will hurt both of us, but I stand by my request earlier. You must leave, it's not safe for you, my love." He allowed genuine affection to slip into his voice, but it left as quickly as it came. "We both know Isshin will treat the child as his… But Masaki, you must never tell the child that I am it's father. Goodbye."

She shuddered at his commanding tone, but complied. "G-goodbye Aizen. I love you."

End Flashback

By the time Aizen finished the story, I was sick to my stomach. But hearing the words Aizen said made me vomit.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you are my daughter."

Do you all like how I did the story? I adopted it from look-on-the-dark-side-of-life and fixed it up!
