Inner Hollows Talking/Kido & Hollow Skills

'Ichigo Talking to Inner Hollow'

'Inner Thoughts'

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach just this story and my OC's

Ichigo Kurosaki, all of Ichigo's friends received injuries so severe they were unable to return home and as a result they had to stay in the Squad 4 barracks on total bedrest or face the wrath of the Captain of Squad 4, Unohana Retsu, and nobody in their right mind would dare ignore her, she may seem kind and sweet but she's really the devil in disguise not that anyone would actually say that.

'It's been a week since I killed Aizen,' Ichigo thought as he lay in bed staring at the ceiling. The thought brought up a host of other thoughts and emotions.

After a two weeks of rest Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Uryū, and Yoruichi returned to the world of the living. As soon as they returned Ichigo knew something was wrong Hat and Clogs couldn't even look at Ichigo, Ichigo looks confused as does the others until Ichigo speaks "What's up Hat and Clogs."

Kisuke sighs as his shoulders slumped forward and in a soft even tone, he said, "Ichigo, I have some bad news, I don't know how to tell you this but one of your friends died during the attack."

His head whipped around as Ichigo contemplated all the possibility's as shock slowly set in, everyone knows how much he cares for his friend's safety, so to lose a friend must be hard.

"W-Who was it, Keigo, Mizuro, Ikumi." He asked, as a sudden realization came over him as he though, "No not Tats….."

His thoughts trailed off as Kisuke sighs telling him, "Tatsuki Arisawa." Confirming his worst fear.

Ichigo can't believe it neither can Orihime, Tatsuki was Ichigo's oldest friend and Orihime's best friend, Chad, Uryū, and Yoruichi look at both Ichigo and Orihime knowing just how much they both care for Tatsuki.

For Orihime, Tatsuki was her best friend and she doesn't know what she'll do without her it's just not fair why Tatsuki.

Before Orihime fully understands the impact of what she is feeling she can feel the traces of the tears as they slowly work their way down her cheeks

Even though he has spent years as a Soul-Reaper and has experience controlling his emotions, for Ichigo the news cut's deep, deeper than most people realize, Not only was Tatsuki, Ichigo's oldest friend, she was also one of his best friends, if it wasn't for Tatsuki he doesn't know how he would have gotten over his mother's death.

Now who will help him to mourn her death, it's not only that, he never told anyone, but he loved her, he's not sure when it started, maybe it was when his mother died, but he knew he loved her.

Distancing himself from her was to help her although it was painful, he couldn't let her get involved in his secret life, because if she found out she'd want to help, that's just the type of girl Tatsuki was, and after all that she still got dragged in.

First the Mod soul's incident, then the Fullbringers incident and now this, Aizen that bastard even in death, he's broken Ichigo.

Ichigo didn't say a thing he just walks off, Orihime tries to go after the man she loves but Yoruichi gently places a hand on her shoulder telling her to give him some space, let him grieve.

Orihime molded herself to Yoruichi and sobs into her neck!

He is doing what he has always done, bare his pain in silence, both women watched at the man they both cared for walked off into the sunset alone. It was two weeks before anyone saw Ichigo again and you could tell Ichigo just was not himself. The others returned to school, but they all felt different two important people in their lives were missing one was dead and gone, the other was grieving and in pain.

Ichigo he just stayed in his room the whole time, it rained for two weeks straight it's like the heavens are weeping also, maybe they are, and if Ichigo thought that was bad then in his inner world there's thunderstorm's, Zangetsu could not get through to Ichigo he refused to reply.

When he ate there was no conversation between the family, Karin, and Yuzu knew Ichigo was hurting how could he not, Isshin tried to keep himself busy but he was worried about his son.

Ichigo's not even spoken to his dad about him being a Soul Reaper and deep down Isshin can't blame him. Isshin does know that he will have to talk to him about his past and Ichigo's lineage, Ichigo's a Shiba and is the Shiba Clan Heir.

Isshin did reluctantly visit Kūkaku and spoke to the Shiba Elders, they know about Ichigo, Kūkaku was actually-pissed he was her nephew, but with losing someone so close to him they have given him time to grieve.

The elders then said Ichigo must be informed about him being a Shiba and the Clan Head a conversation Isshin is not really looking forward to, although, with all the women who like Ichigo he might be OK, of course, he knows his son will not be with the one he truly loves how he knows it's a father thing.

Ichigo still hunted Hollows and if you were a hollow with half a brain you wouldn't want to be in Ichigo's warpath, unfortunately, Hollows don't think so there cut down before they can do anything.

When Ichigo did return to school he just sits there in a trance, hoping for it to be lies and Tatsuki would come through the doors like nothing had happened. Of course, the next week went by without that happening.

When the week was up, and the weekend arrived Ichigo spend it in his room. Like he has for the last three weeks. Orihime has been worried about Ichigo she knows he's in pain so is she, she loves Ichigo she doesn't know if he loves her but as long as she can be there for him it will be OK.

She met Yuzu during the three weeks, and she told Orihime just how close they used to be, it all changed after their mum died, and it was Tatsuki who helped him through it. Yuzu said jokingly that maybe he was in love with Tatsuki and that's why he's taking so long to mourn.

She ended up following Ichigo home once so now it's the weekend she decided to visit him when she knocks on the door Isshin opens it and is surprised to see Orihime "Well, Hello, Orihime, what brings you here to my door."

Orihime smiles at him all-be it a semi force smile as she asks softly, "How's Kurosaki-kun."

Looking up from his coffee Isshin sighs and said, "Trying to make the best of the situation" telling her matter of factly, "Stays in his room hardly leaves… ever"

Orihime nods as her eyes fill with sadness asking in a brittle voice, "Can I speak to him."

Moving aside Isshin nods and gestures with his hand saying in a gravelly voice, "Maybe a friend will help, she was your best friend to correct"

She realizes, Isshin is hiding his own pain, trying to be strong for… Orihime just nods saying, "Yes, Mr. Kurosaki."

Isshin smiles as he walks saying, "Follow me."

Isshin took her upstairs and knocks on the door and then walks downstairs at first there's nothing then the door opens and Ichigo's surprised to see Orihime "Inoue, what are you doing here."

She smiles at him saying, "I came to see how you are, everyone's worried about you."

Ichigo sighs "I can't believe she's dead, I tried so hard to keep her out of this and yet she still dies."

He thinks 'Why her!' Orihime watched as his fists tighten to the point where his knuckles turn white. Orihime puts her hand on his "It's OK, Kurosaki-kun, I miss her to, and maybe we'll see her again someday."

Ichigo nods and slowly walks to the window and she follows him Ichigo's in deep thought for a minute then it just hits him "I've not felt her spiritual pressure I haven't seen her spirit anywhere I've checked all over."

Her eyes widen as a realization hits her Orihime sighs then smiles "Hey, this is a crazy thought, but do you think she's in the Soul Society, now, you know the Rukon District, that's what it's called right."

Ichigo shakes his head speculatively looking at her saying, "It's a big place Inoue… but it's worth a try!"

Orihime smiles and Ichigo notices a brightness in her eyes as she offers, "We can look together four eyes are better than two right."

Ichigo nods "Still, even if we find her, what then she'd have no memories of us right."

Orihime smiles "Maybe, I could try my healing thing it's done some amazing things who knows what could happen."

Grabbing his badge Ichigo nods then tells her, "Let's go."

Orihime pumps her fist in the air "Operation, Find Tatsuki, underway."

Ichigo smiles and they head downstairs "I'm going to the Soul Society, back whenever."

Isshin nods "OK." As soon as they leave Isshin smiles "At least she got him out of his room I wonder what they're going to do, I might have to follow them in case the Shiba Clan talk to him that should be my job." He looks around "Oh yes, the girls are at the cinema."

A short time later Ichigo and Orihime are back in the Soul Society they went straight to the Rukon District they don't care how long it will take they will find Tatsuki.

They start looking through the districts first one then another and another with Isshin sneakingly following, as he's following them he hears his name and spins around and sees his third daughter, "Rukia, how nice to see you can't talk right now, following my son and Orihime they seem to be looking for something, wait could they be looking for Tatsuki."

Rukia is shocked "Why would she, no she died didn't she."

Isshin nods "Yes, Ichigo took it hard; I thought it was bad when his mother died but I was wrong, far this is worse."

Rukia nods in understanding as she says, "Well let's follow them, but what will they do if they find her."

Rukia thinks, 'I owe him more than I can ever repay,' and she understands all to well the dangers of the Rukon District.

She didn't know how she knew that's where they were headed but she knew it for a certainty as Isshin shrugs "No idea." Rukia just nods and they follow Ichigo and Orihime.

Ichigo and Orihime have been searching for several hours with no luck, Orihime notices that Ichigo's getting more depressed by the minute but they can't give up.

Elsewise in the Soul Society, a short distance away Kūkaku is walking around bored out of her skull this whole situation with her nephew which she's still not happy about, not that he'll be the new Clan Head, she doesn't care about that it's the fact that Ichigo's her nephew in general and she didn't know, of course there were similarities to Kaien but she just thought of it as a coincidence nothing more.

As she's walking, she happens to spy on two Soul Reapers acting suspiciously she then looks further ahead and sees her Nephew 'How Ironic, wait that's Isshin why is he spying on his son, might as well find out what he's up to.'

As she's walking, she hears a scuffle and sees a kid come flying in front of her and a girl follows him out she has Black Spiky hair similar-to her own seems she's just kicked the kid's ass 'That's my girl.'

Whilst she's watching her Ichigo and Orihime notice her and stop beside her Ichigo sighs "Hey Kūkaku, been awhile."

Kūkaku nods "Yeah just saw a girl kick a guy's ass bigger than her too, quite the spunk on that kid."

That comment got his attention as Ichigo nods saying "OK."

Orihime then sees her 'Tatsuki.' She nudges Ichigo with a gentle elbow to the ribs, saying, "We found her, look."

Ichigo follows her finger and stops dead in his tracks at seeing "Tatsuki."

Kūkaku remembers the name then it hits her "Wait your dad said she died."

Ichigo looks at her "You know my dad."

Kūkaku growls 'The bastards, why hasn't told him yet' She looks over their shoulder "Isshin, get your ass over here."

"NOW"

Isshin acts casual as he walks up but the tone of Kūkaku voice let him know she was in no way asking him but telling him as he said, "Oh, hey son what brings you here."

Kūkaku fold her arms over her chest and rolls her eyes and in a semi rough tenor said, "Quit the Bullshit you were following him."

Orihime has split up from Ichigo and moved to the side as he approaches Tatsuki

"Tatsuki." He calls softly.

Tatsuki hears someone speak and turns around asking, "Do… I know you."

Orihime smiles slowly walks up saying, "Yes, well it's complicated; you see you're my best friend, but you died so you don't remember me."

Tatsuki nods eyeing them trying to decide are they friend "You sure, I think I'd remember if I was friends with you."

Just then Ichigo approaches "Tatsuki it's really you, it's me Ichigo."

Tatsuki looks at Ichigo "I suppose, I know you, to right."

With a slight chuckle Ichigo nods saying, "You're my oldest friend."

Tatsuki nods looking at his outfit saying, "You're a Soul Reaper, nice blade by the way."

Isshin walks up to his son and his friends saying, "So you found her so what's your next step."

Orihime looks at Ichigo "Well, I was thinking to try and get her memories back with my Soten Kisshun."

Isshin raises an eyebrow speculatively asking, "You sure that will work."

Ichigo shrugs nonchalantly saying, "Worth a try what harm can it do."

Tatsuki looks at them asking, "Your saying, I can get my memories back from my past life."

Orihime shrugs but looks hopeful as she says, "I'm not certain but I can try, but only if you say it's OK."

Tatsuki was trying to work it all out in her head saying, "I've had a weird feeling since I got here and seeing you three makes me think I know you so sure whatever… knock yourself out."

Orihime nods slowly saying, "This won't hurt, I hope." She steps towards Tatsuki and touches her hairpins "Soten Kisshun, I Reject."

An Orange Dome appears around Tatsuki, Ichigo watched on anxiously, Isshin put his hand on his shoulder in encouragement. After 10 minutes Orihime stops and steps back waiting to see what happens. Kūkaku and Rukia have also joined the small group. Ichigo scratched his head "Tatsuki, did it work."

Tatsuki's been looking around checking out everything it's like she's in Feudal Japan but when she hears her name, she looks straight at whoever spoke 'Ichigo, Orihime, Rukia, and Mr Kurosaki.' "Ichigo where am I, it looks like I'm in Ancient Japan."

Ichigo looks uncertain until Tatsuki jogs up to him and hugs him and punched him in the arm "All that stuff was real, idiot why didn't you let me fight with you."

Then Tatsuki realizes, 'He didn't even flinch, that punch should have knocked him down!'

"Hey Ichigo" Tatsuki said calling over her shoulder, "Next time we fight I don't want you holding back"

Isshin is shocked "It actually worked, Orihime, you're amazing."

Orihime blushes at the compliment, saying "Thank you"

"You don't know what you're asking Tatsuki!" Ichigo said flatly

"Yes, I do Ichi" Tatsuki states

Ichigo's voice was cold and calm as he replied, "NO, you don't"

"Remember history class when they showed pictures of Hiroshima, and Nagasaki" Ichigo deadpanned.

"Yes!" Tatsuki said nervously.

"Now imagine that 1000… no 10,000 times more destructive that's what this place would look like." Ichigo said, "That's what you're asking"

Kukaku grins 'Nice one nephew.' "

"I'm serous aunt Kukaku" Icigo said.

I know you are, but your scaring her!" Kukaku said, "."

Tatsuki looks at her childhood friend thinking, 'The amount of discipline it takes to keep all that in check!'

"Now that the heavy stuff is out of the way let's head to my house and we can talk, and I mean Isshin and Ichigo TALK."

Moments later Ichigo seems confused and Isshin looks pale. Tatsuki smiles "Hey, Rukia."

Rukia smiles "Hi, Tatsuki welcome back, … I guess."

Tatsuki smiles "Thanks, Rukia, so this is the Soul Society thought it would be more you know flashy."

Rukia smiles "This is the Rukon District, I guess you could call it the poor part of the Soul Society where most spirits remain it's lucky, we found you this is a massive place with so many districts."

Tatsuki nods "Well they found me that's all that matters right."

Rukia looks at Ichigo and Orihime who seems to be talking to Isshin she then looks at Tatsuki "You're in love with Ichigo aren't you."

Tatsuki blushes and stated loudly, "What."

"I know that look!" Isshin states, "It's the look you use when you're interested in someone or something, but you're too proud to admit it… to yourself"

Rukia smiles and as if to confirm the facts says, "Come on, I saw the way you looked at him, your best friends with Orihime but you ran to Ichigo and hugged him like your life depended on it so."

Tatsuki sighs "OK, Yes I do but you know it's complicated with Orihime liking him also."

They then hear a chuckle and see Kūkaku "Well as soon as Isshin has his chat with my nephew he'll be Clan head which means he has certain responsibilities."

Tatsuki is confused as she looks at Kūkaku asking, "Like… what."

Kūkaku grins trying to hold back laughter as she said, "Like finding wives plural meaning more than one, so the whole Orihime thing hardly matters he can have you both, but the rule is he picks the brides and they must accept also."

Tatsuki thinks, 'Wives… Wives, really…I hope that's a joke,' She smiles and said, "Wow, he's going to be a busy boy."

She starts to laugh as she said, "Ichigo the pimp."

A short while later the group arrives at Kūkaku's house, of course, Tatsuki thinks the designs weird. Ichigo just tells her that's Kūkaku's weirdness, luckily she didn't hear that comment and he's glad she didn't he'd rather not get beaten up by her, What is strange is that she has given him odd looks.

As soon as they all arrive, Isshin takes Ichigo into another room to talk, the others are confused but Kūkaku says there is some stuff Isshin needs to explain to his son. She smirks 'Ichigo's going to so kick your ass Isshin can't say I blame him.'

Ichigo looks at his dad as he paces around the room "Will you quit doing that, you wanted to talk, so talk."

Isshin sighs and sits down "Son, there are things I haven't told you."

Ichigo rolls his eyes thinking, 'That is the understatement of the year dad!' At this point Ichigo was in no mood for games as he said, "No shit dad, like the fact you're a Soul Reaper I know that already."

Isshin smirked "Well it's not that I'll get straight to the point my name is Isshin Shiba."

Ichigo raises an eyebrow and he had a what are you talking about now look on his face as he asks, "What are you talking about dad, your surname's Kurosaki."

Isshin sighs "Well yes, I took your mother's Surname, I used to be a Captain, but I left that life behind son."

Issin started shifting his weight from one foot to the other and back again trying to find a way to soften the blow, "I was also the Head of The Shiba Clan, Kūkaku is your Aunt and Ganju is your Uncle, I gave up my Rank and everything it holds."

Ichigo looks at him bewildered asking, "But you're still the Clan Head right."

Isshin sighs "No, son, everyone thought I was dead, so it was passed on to my sister Kūkaku, but she's only a figurehead Clan Leader."

Ichigo seems confused as he looks to his father trying to read his face asking, "What do you mean."

Isshin sighs as he is forced to admit, "Some Arcane Law that was created, only a Male can be Clan Head, My grandfather, My father, myself, so you see Kūkaku can't be its ruler and as for Ganju no offence to my idiot brother but he's brainless and unfit to lead the Shiba Clan."

Ichigo feels the knot in his gut start to harden as he sighs asking, "You're telling me all this… Why."

Isshin smiles remorsefully saying, "The Clan Elders know about you and are not happy with me in the slightest, first for being alive, and angry I had a son and didn't tell them."

Ichigo groans as the other shoe drops saying, "You better not say what I think you're going to say."

Isshin grins as he said, "Yep, you are the new Shiba Clan Head."

Ichigo groans and stands up and turns away from his father, for a few minutes they're both silent Ichigo sighs "So what does this mean for me."

Isshin smiles "Well you'll still live at home with your family, but you will have to spend time here, also the elders are my mother and father and my grandfather, how he's still alive I don't know they will want to know their Grandson and Great Grandson."

Ichigo notices their little smirk "What aren't you telling me."

Isshin rubs his chin "Well there's a certain something that the Clan Head must do it's one of the reasons I gave up my old life when I met your mother."

Ichigo groans "I'm guessing it's something bad for you to do that so tell me. What is this certain something I would have to do?"

Isshin grins "Well."

Kūkaku grins "In 3, 2, 1."

Tatsuki, Orihime, Genju and Rukia all here "WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME, I'M SO GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS."

The next minute Isshin comes flying through the doors and Ichigo follows him out he grabs him by his clothes and starts punching him "YOU, (Punch) STUPID, (Punch) SON OF A BITCH, (Punch) YOU (Punch) WANT (Punch) ME (Punch) TO (Punch) MARRY (Punch) SEVERAL (Punch) WOMEN (Punch) ARE YOU (Punch) FUCKING CRAZY (Punch) THAT'S WHY YOU RAN WAY (Punch) LIKE A COWARD."

Kūkaku grins "Definitely a Shiba, you finished beating on your old man, nephew."

Ichigo looks up and sees everyone staring at him. Ichigo lets go of his unconscious dad and stands up "He asked for it."

Kūkaku grins "He did, now get your ass over here and give your aunt a hug Shiba Clan Head." Ichigo sighs but walks over and gets a huge hug Kūkaku grins "So you better get started searching for your wife's Nephew the rule says you can pick your own but now you're officially well soon you will officially be the Shiba Clan head you will have six months to find your first if none is found they will pick your first for you."

Ichigo groans "That's just great." He looks over and sees Tatsuki and Orihime they heard it and Rukia seems shocked Ichigo smirked "How about that Rukia, I'm a noble now, huh."

Rukia smirked "So you are Ichigo Shiba."

Ichigo nods as if its commin knowledge at this point, "Hey, Tatsuki can I talk to you for a minute."

She nods and follows Ichigo as he walks back into the room they were in earlier, Orihime is sad, that he might ask Tatsuki first, but like Kūkaku said he has to have others she just hopes he chooses her.

Meanwhile, in a small anti chamber just off the main hall Ichigo sits down on a cushion like Tatsuki does and he sighs "I guess you heard everything."

Tatsuki smirks as she pretends to slap his arm saying, "Pretty much I'm guessing the whole of the Soul Society heard it."

Rubbing the back of his neck nervously Ichigo smirks saying, "Yeah, probably, well, I want to tell you why I never told you about this life, for one I knew If I did, you'd want to help and with no powers well you get the idea and I couldn't allow that, the second reason is well you're my oldest friend and I don't want to see you hurt of course that failed because you died."

Tatsuki sighs "Ichigo, what you said was true, I would have wanted to help and yes I wouldn't have been much help, but I care about you Ichigo I hated that you kept it from me."

Ichigo looks at Tatsuki "I care about you to Suki, What I'm trying to say is, well you know."

Tatsuki smirked "You want me to be one of your wives."

Ichigo scratched his head "Well, the thing is I'm kind of in love with you, it's stupid because we hardly hang around each other anymore."

Ichigo is looking towards the ground so he doesn't notice the blush on Tatsuki's face but she's happy because she loves Ichigo also but because of the whole Orihime thing never did anything about it. "Ichigo, I love you too."

Ichigo looks up "Really."

She smiles and stands up and kneels in front of Ichigo and just kisses him on the lips "Yes, really so I will be your wife my mum and dad know, wait do they think I'm dead."

They both don't know but Isshin pokes his battered and bruised face in "They do but we can simply change their memories and say you were on one of your Karate Tournaments or something."

Tatsuki is shocked "You can do that."

Ichigo nods "It's how everyone forgot about Rukia remember."

Tatsuki nods "Oh, yeah."

Isshin walks into the room and hugs them both not that they want it and Isshin grins "Welcome to the family daughter number 4." The next thing that happens is he's punched in the face by two fists one from Ichigo and the other from Tatsuki. They then smirk and Ichigo leans forward and kisses her again and she immediately kissed him back.

After a few minutes of making out, they break apart as they kind of need some air, they both have blushes on their faces and smile at each other. Tatsuki grins "I've wanted to do that for years."

Ichigo grins "Me too."

Tatsuki smirked "Well, I know Orihime is kind of in love with you how do you feel about her."

Ichigo smirks "Well at first we were just friends but now it's different, I mean this is weird the whole multiple wives thing, but we have gotten close so if she says yes then that will make two."

They both hear "Yes, Ichigo, I want to marry you."

Ichigo stands up and motions Orihime forward and they hug for a moment then he kisses Orihime on the cheek but as soon as he backs away, she leans forward and kisses him on the lips, so he just allows it and kisses her back.

When they break for air after their little make out session the three of them grins at each other than Tatsuki smirked "So who's next."

Orihime smiles "Well there's, Yoruichi, Rangiku, Rukia, maybe not sure, Nel if she's alive, maybe that Visard what's her name the one with Black Hair."

Ichigo gulps and he goes pale saying, "You mean Lisa, seriously."

Ichigo thinks, 'Lisa scares me sometimes.'

Tatsuki looks at him and grins then states, "You got quite a lot of fangirls Ichi… When did you have time to fight hollows HHHHMMM."

Flinching Ichigo grunts saying, "Just great, come on let's go."

The three of them walk out of the room Kūkaku grins "So you found wives number one and two already you move fast nephew."

Ichigo blushes "So I'll have to meet the Clan Elders right."

Kūkaku nods "Yep your grandparents and Great Grandfather, might as well get it over with they've been waiting to meet you might as well bring your Fiancé's with you."

Ichigo along with Kūkaku, Isshin, Tatsuki, and Orihime visit the Shiba Compound, Rukia wishes them luck before leaving. She watches them go and she sighs 'I wonder who he will pick, I doubt he'll pick me, I'm not sure how he sees me, like a sister, maybe I should ask Byakuya, no forget that but who, I can't tell Rangiku she'll want to marry him she does always tease him after all.'

Meanwhile, The Shiba's, along with Tatsuki and Orihime arrive at the Shiba Compound the guard sees Isshin, Kūkaku and the others when he sees Ichigo he's shocked 'He looks just like Kaien, apart from the hair colour.'

The guard opens the gates and allows the group to enter wondering who the kid is. As the group enters the main house Isshin tells Ichigo and his Fiancé's to wait there whilst he enters with Kūkaku.

Ichigo, Orihime, and Tatsuki look around then 10 minutes later Kūkaku calls for them to come in. Ichigo, Tatsuki, and Orihime enter the council room and see three people sat down and Isshin also sitting down in front of them. Ichigo sits down next to his father and Aunt whilst Tatsuki and Orihime sit behind him.

Ichigo's kind of nervous about all this until his grandmother speaks "So this is Ichigo Kurosaki-Shiba the one who caused such a ruckus a few years back, I even heard you beat several Captains including Byakuya Kuchiki, Kenpachi Zaraki, along with Lieutenant Renji Abarai, Ikkaku Madarame the 3rd Seat Squad 11, you are very strong grandson, I see by the beating your father has that he told you about your role as Clan head are these two women your wives to be" When Ichigo nods she smiles "Perfect."

Another of them speaks "So Great Grandson what are the names of your fiancé's."

Ichigo nods "To the left of me is Tatsuki Arisawa my oldest friend and the girl I've kind of been in love with for years, to the right is Orihime Inoue, another friend for a few years who's helped me in battle and another girl I've grown to love."

The third member smiles "Marrying for love, is the best kind but two is not enough I'm afraid."

Ichigo is shocked "If I may grandfather how many do, I have to marry."

His grandfather chuckles "Well four more should do it but as they say the sky's the limit, just don't wait too long Izumi, here wants to see her great-grand kids before she dies."

Ichigo, Tatsuki, and Orihime all blush at the accusation and everyone laughs.

Ichigo's Great-grandfather then speaks again "My name is Kenzo Shiba, you heard my daughter's name my son-in-law is Mitsuo Shiba, now we have the names out of the way, when you visit the Soul Society, you'll be staying here so we can get to know our Great-grandson and Grandson respectively."

Izumi smiles "Yep, what Mitsuo said, grandchildren hop to it, but first, it might be a good idea to visit the Head Captain Yamamoto and inform him of your position."

Ichigo smirks "Understood, Grandma, I guess this is where dad gets his craziness from."

Izumi chuckles "Probably, now run along grandson and within a year I want to see some Great-Grandchildren."

Ichigo nods "Of course, Granny Izumi, I'll be going now."

Ichigo, Tatsuki, and Orihime leave as quickly as possible all of them quite embarrassed about what just happened. Tatsuki grins "Man she's as bad as your dad."

Ichigo groans "I know come on Suki, I'll show you the Soul Society."

Tatsuki nods "Lead the way, Casanova."

A short time later they arrive it seems there's a council meeting going on, they're all shocked when the door opens and Chōjirō Tadaoki Sasakibe, The Lieutenant of Squad 1 beckons them all in.

Yamamoto nods "Ah, Ichigo Kurosaki, what brings you here."

Ichigo scratched his head "Well, I kind of came to speak to you about something I just found out, I found out my dad's a Soul Reaper but that wasn't the shocking news."

Yamamoto nods "And who might your father be, Ichigo."

Ichigo sighs "Isshin Kurosaki but you'll probably know him as Isshin Shiba, Clan Head of The Shiba Clan, well he was, Now I'm the Clan Head."

A few of the Captain's and Lieutenant's starts talking until Yamamoto bangs his cane on the floor "Quiet." He then turns back to Ichigo. "So, what do I call you Ichigo Kurosaki or is it Ichigo Shiba now."

Ichigo thinks to what his Granny called him "Ichigo-Kurosaki-Shiba, Head Captain."

Yamamoto gives a sly smile and nods "Well Ichigo congratulations on becoming The Clan head have you been informed of the Role as Clan Head and what it entails."

Ichigo inwardly groans then replies "Yes, Head Captain, I'm aware."

Yamamoto nods he then sees Orihime and another girl "So are they your first two wives then."

Ichigo smirks "Yeah, Kinda, but I have to find more it's such a pain."

Yamamoto laughs saying, "I'm sure it is, Kurosaki-Shiba, now is that all."

Ichigo nods "Yes, Head Captain."

Unohana then steps forward "If I may ask Kurosaki-san we heard that a friend of yours died from what I heard it looks like your friend next to Orihime."

Ichigo nods "Oh, Yea, she died me and Orihime found her and Orihime, was able to return her memories back to her."

Unohana nods "Interesting, well I'm happy you have your friend back."

Ichigo smiles "Thank you, Captain Unohana."

Ichigo, Tatsuki and Orihime all walk out and start walking off showing Tatsuki around a few minutes later someone wraps their arms around Ichigo "Ichigo, just how many wives are you having."

Ichigo groans 'Typical, Rangiku' "Hello Rangiku."
