Chapter 1

"Oh Shuhei. This is a lovely spot." A white haired, golden eyed, olive-skinned beauty said as she leaned against a man. He had black hair, three scars over his right eye. On his left side he had a blue tattooed stripe and a 69.

Placing his arm around the woman's shoulder, Shuhei kissed the top of her head. "I'm glad you like it, Yuizoran." Shuhei placed his hand on Yuizoran's swollen abdomen.

Yuizoran smiled as she placed her hand on top of Shuhei's, "I'm glad I fell in love with you several years ago." Yuizoran tilted her head up.

Shuhei looked down as he smiled. Looking down into her lovely golden eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her. At that moment the baby that was growing inside of Yuizoran kicked. Shuhei pulled his head back and smiled. Yuizoran smiled back. Looking down she said, "This is a really active one."

Shuhei removed his arm from around her shoulders and was about to say something when he was interrupted by children squealing as they bowled him over.

"I win!" A girl with black hair on top and white on bottom said as she hugged Shuhei.

"No, I win!" Another girl said. She looked just like her sister. Shuhei smiled as he laid his head back and hugged his two girls to his chest. They had black hair on top, white hair on bottom. The only difference was their eyes. One of the girl's left eye was golden, while her right eye was black. Her sister's eyes were the opposite. Her left eye was black and her right eye was golden.

A black haired, golden eyes girl came running over. Stopping, she bowed and said, "I'm sorry Father. I tried to keep them busy longer, but they left when I turned my back."

Shuhei looked at her from where he was laying. He sat up holding the two girls. "Don't worry about it Yuzuki."

Yuizoran spoke from where she was sitting with her hands on her stomach, "We didn't expect you to keep them for long." Yuizoran patted the blanket next to her, "Come sit next to me Yuzuki."

Shuhei stood up and then asked from where he was standing with the two girls in his arms, "Where's Chisaki?"

Yuzuki jumped up from where she had just sat down, "Oh, I better go and get her. She's gathering flowers." Yuzuki took off in the direction she had come from, her hair flying behind her.

Shuhei walked over to place the two girls down next to Yuizoran. After placing them down he extended his hand out to Yuizoran. Yuizoran took his hand, "You know Shuhehi, if this next child is a girl you'll be teased even worse than what you are now."

Shuhei pulled Yuizoran to her feet, "I'll just tell them that I'm surrounded by the prettiest girls around." He tapped Yuizoran on the nose causing her to smile. "I'll have to beat the boys off with my zanpaktou."

The girl with the left golden eye trotted over and tugging on Shuhei's hakima asked, "Are we really pretty?"

Shuhei bent down and placing his hand on the girl's shoulder said, "To me you are, Harumi."

"What about me?" The girl with the right golden eye asked, not to be left out.

Shuhei turned to her and placed his hand on top of her head, "You're pretty too, Ayame."

Yuzuki ran up to a white haired, black eyed girl. The girl was bent over, picking flowers as she was humming a song that Yuzuki knew that their mother sang. "Chisaki!" Yuzuki called waving her hand to get the girl's attention. Chisaki looked up and smiled at her older sister of two years. "We're getting ready to leave, Chisaki." Yuzuki said as she came up behind Chisaki.

Chisaki nodded as she stood up with an armful of flowers. "I'm ready." Joining her sister they turned and started to leave the meadow.

A man with red hair and tribal tattoos was walking with a tall woman with long black hair. "Oh look Renji, isn't that Yuzuki and Chisaki?" the woman asked the man. Pointing in the direction she was indicating.

Looking in the direction she was pointing in, Renji saw the two girls heading their way. Renji and the woman walked towards the girls. When they got to them, Renji asked, "Yuzuki, Chisaki, where are you're parents?"

Yuzuki smiled, "They're up there with Harumi and Ayame." she pointed up the hilltop behind Renji.

Renji turned and squinted, trying to see the people that Yuzuki pointed at. "You're kinda far from them, aren't you?" Renji turned to look at Yuzuki questioningly.

"Not really." Yuzuki said looking back at the figures on the hill. Yuzuki then turned to the woman that was with Renji. The woman had black wavy hair and a white sash over her shoulders. "How have you been Isha?" Yuzuki asked.

Isha smiled, "I've been well, how's your mother doing?"

Yuzuki turned her head as she started walking, "She's doing fine, but, "Yuzuki stopped walking, "she's been really tired with this one." Yuzuki got a worried look on her face. "She also said that it's almost time for the baby to come."

Isha walked over to Yuzuki and laid her hand on Yuzuki's shoulder. Yuzuki turned to look at her. Isha smiled, "Don't worry. She wouldn't have left the Seireitei if the baby was going to come any time soon."

Yuzuki smiled at Isha before trotting off to catch up with Chisaki. Renji walked up to Isha and placing his arm across her shoulders, leaned against her. Isha, feeling his weight, almost fell over. Bracing herself, she jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow. Renji grabbed his stomach as he groaned and leaned over.

"What was that for?" Renji asked as he looked up at Isha.

Isha glared down at him as she crossed her arms, "You know better than to use me as your post."

Renji grimaced and looked down at the ground before he stood up straight, still holding his stomach with one hand. Isha smiled mischievously before she turned and took off for the meadow that Chisaki and Yuzuki had just left.

Harumi and Ayame took off running down the hill but then turned and hid in the bushes, watching their parents. Shuhei had taken Yuizoran into his arms and as he lowered his head to kiss Yuizoran, Harumi covered Ayame's mouth while Ayame covered Harumi's mouth. They watched as Shuhei kissed Yuizoran and giggled quietly.

Feeling another sharp pain in her abdomen, Yuizoran turned her head away from Shuhei as she grimaced and placed her hand on her swollen belly. Getting a worried look on his face, Shuhei took Yuizoran's hand, "Is something wrong?"

Yuizoran turned back and plastering a smile on her face said, "It's nothing."

Harumi and Ayame looked at each other worriedly from where they were hiding. They had never seen their father getting worried over their mother. At that moment Yuizoran got a shocked look on her face.

Renji and Isha sat up from where they were laying in the meadow. Looking at each other, they jumped up and started running in the direction they felt the immense spiritual pressure.

Yuzuki looked towards the hillside where her family was. As she looked up, Renji and Isha ran past, swords drawn.

Renji yelled as he ran past, "Stay back!"

Yuzuki stood still as she watched as terror ran through her body.

Yuizoran leaned against the tree, holding Harumi and Ayame as she panted. Pain ripped through her body as she bent over groaning. Harumi and Ayame snuggled closer to her as Shuhei fought the monster, protecting his family. Renji came over the hill just as, what Renji thought was an arrancar, threw Shuhei to the side against a tree, knocking him unconscious.

"Puny soul reaper scum." the male arrancar chuckled, "I wasn't after you..." His sentence was cut off as Renji came down with his sword. The arrancar raised his sword to block Renji's attack.

"Why is it everyone is attacking me when I haven't even challenged them." The arrancar said nonchalantly. Renji leaped back in surprise. At that moment he heard Yuizoran bite back a scream.

Turning to Isha, Renji said, "Take care of Yuizoran!" turning back to the arrancar, he placed both hands on the hilt of his sword, "I'll take care of this monster."

"That's not very nice." the arrancar said, "calling somebody a monster just because you don't know their name."

Renji growled as he blocked the arrancar's attack. Isha sheathed her sword as she went to Yuizoran. Placing her hand on Yuizoran's sweaty face, Isha looked at her. Pulling her hand away, she gently touched Harumi and Ayame. They looked at her. Looking at them, she asked, "Do you think you can move your dad over here?"

Harumi's lip quivered, "I think we can."

Ayame agreed, "We'll try."

Isha took Yuizoran's hand, hoping Renji would be able to keep the arrancar at bay.

Several minutes later, Harumi and Ayame came back, dragging Shuhei. Panting they laid him down next to Isha. "Here he is, Isha." Harumi said out of breathe.

At that moment, the arrancar threw a spiritual blast towards them, hitting the tree above Isha and the others. Turning to Renji, Isha yelled at him, "We need help!"

Renji turned his head, momentarily taking his eyes off of his opponent, to glare at her. "What else do you what me to do?! I'm trying!" Renji looked back at the arrancar, "I just can't seem to get an attack in."

Using Zabimaru in shikai form Renji kept the arrancar busy for what seemed like hours. Just as Renji was getting fed up with not being able to wound the guy, he heard a baby's cries. He ducked to avoid an attack, causing it to hit the tree again.

"Renji!" Isha angrily yelled.

Renji turned and asked, "What would you like me to do?! Stand unguarded and dance in front of him?"

Yuizoran tiredly raising her hand gathered her spiritual energy, "Why do I have to do everything myself?" she asked as she sent the blast towards the arrancar.

Renji got a horrified look on his face as the ball of energy came at him. As it got closer, his life flashed before his eyes.
