A.N.: This is a request by TheSinfulDragonEmperor. Normally I don't do requests like these with multiple OCs but I always try for new things; neither do I set it after the last arc since I don't know how it will end but I decided "what the hell?". This is a three or four shot!

After the Thousand-Year Blood War….

Ichigo walked through a lavish garden, his bare feet touching soft earth as he made his way through the beautiful, vibrant place. All the colors of the rainbow lavishly filled Ichigo's gaze as he walked by fields of roses, sunflowers, violets, lilies and other beautiful flowers.

Continuing to walk, he found himself standing in the middle of the garden, a beautiful fountain sprinkling water. A blush came across Ichigo's face when he saw that the fountain consisted of statues of Orihime, Rukia, Yoruichi, and Tatsuki; all four statues were naked and in lewd positions. "What is this place?" he wondered out loud. "Where am I?"

"Why, you're in our garden, love."

Whirling around, Ichigo's blush grew when he saw three girls walking towards him. Each girl was beyond beautiful and Ichigo had to fight his teenage urges. All three girls were flowing, elegant kimonos and they walked with such grace that it made them seem even more dazzling.

The one on the right had long, shimmering blonde hair that was tied up in a ponytail with a pink bow. Her emerald kimono was adorned with white roses. The garment only went up to her shoulders, showing off her very well-endowed chest. Red lips smiled at the staring boy while eyes of the bluest color stared at him lustfully.

In the middle was a girl with short brown hair. Her kimono was colored with orange and black stripes, like a tiger's body. Her kimono had a split in the side, showing off her smooth, creamy legs while she walked to him on her slender bare feet. Her hazel eyes stared at Ichigo with caring, as if trying to ease his fears with her soothing presence.

The girl on the left had hair of midnight, flowing freely in the wind. Her kimono was red with pink hearts stitched at the bottom and left little to the imagination, showing much cleavage and legs. She walked with swaying hips, her hands emerging from her clothes folds, showing her slender fingers with red fingernail polish. Her green eyes looked at Ichigo with longing, as if begging him to take her into his arms.

Ichigo walked backwards until he was backed into the edge of the spring. "Who are you? And what's with this fountain?"

The girl with the blonde hair folded her arms. "What's the matter, love? Isn't this what you wanted? A reminder of your dear friends you left behind?"

Ichigo blinked. "My…dear friends?" The boy shook his head. "Who are you? Answer me!" he demanded.

The girl with brown hair sat down on the fountain next to him, taking hold of his hands. "What has you in such distress, love? This is what you wanted." She made a gesture to the garden. "This is your home. We are your true loves."

"And where is here?"

The ebony hair girl sat down on Ichigo's unoccupied side, laying her head onto his shoulder. "Someplace far away. Far from the Seireitei, from Hueco Mundo, from the Human World. Somewhere where you can live a peaceful life, like you always dreamed of."

Ichigo shook his head. "No, all I ever wanted is to protect-"

"But even you had limits, Ichigo. Isn't that why you fought? So that you could end everyone's suffering? What about your suffering? YOUR happiness?" asked the blonde. "Beneath that desire to protect you desire to live your life peacefully, away from the battles and weary violence." She got down on her knees and put her head on Ichigo's lap. "But before any of that, it's time to choose."

"Choose? Who are you girls anyway?"

Ebony hair looked at Ichigo and giggled, interlacing her fingers with his. "Why, we're your lovers, Ichigo. Don't you remember? I'm your dear Asuka."

"And I'm Ochiru!" said the brunette, kissing his cheek.

"And I…I am Aibara." The blonde looked up with loving eyes. "Now, love, it's time to choose. We're so tired of waiting."

"Choose what?"

Aibara leaned up until her face was inches from Ichigo's, her pink, luscious lips just begging to be kissed. "Why, which of us you will take as your wife and will be the mother of your child, of course."

Ichigo snapped out of his dream and sat up, feeling hot sweat run down his body. "Whoa! That was one hell of a dream!" he gasped, panting. "It felt so real. I could still feel where they touched me…." His hand went to his cheek where Ochiru kissed him. "Just what was that?"

Shaking his head, Ichigo got out of bed and started to get dressed. He decided to put it out of his mind. He had school to go to.

Several Hours Later….

Ichigo sat down at his desk, nodding hello to his friends Uryu, Chad and Orihime. He sighed as he opened his book, hoping that this day would go by quick. Still, thoughts of last night's dream continued to plague him.

"Who were those girls?" he muttered. "And what did they mean by "A reminder of my dear friends?" Just what was that?" he pondered.

He was interrupted when he saw the teacher walk in. "Students," Ms. Ochi addressed. "I'm pleased to tell you that we have three new students who will be joining us." She turned to the door and gestured for them to come inside. "Ladies, if you please?" Ichigo watched with mild interest, too busy pondering his dream. "Ladies, why don't you introduce yourselves?"

"Hello, I'm Aibara!"

"I'm Ochiru!"

"And I'm Asuka!"

Ichigo's head snapped forward at the names and he gasped. 'It's them!' They were the girls from his dream. And that was when he noticed something else….

All three were looking at him with knowing eyes.

"Ladies, why don't you take your seats? There's three seats right by Ichigo Kurosaki," Ms. Ochi pointed.

Ichigo merely stared as the girls in shock as they walked over to him. Uryu looked at Ichigo, confused about his bewildered expression but held his tongue. The girls ignored Orihime, who waved hello to them and took their seats next to Ichigo.

"Well hello there, Ichigo," Ochiru greeted. "It's nice to meet you."

"Um…thanks," Ichigo quickly said. "Hey uh…have we…met before?"

Aibara turned her head and slowly smiled seductively. "Not exactly…but you will be getting to know us in good time…" she said cryptically.

Ichigo was about to ask what she meant when Asuka shushed him. "Not now, class is starting!" Ichigo nodded and turned his attention back to the teacher. Still, he was quite unnerved by all of this, throwing glances back at the new girls all day, the three giving him cute smiles every time he glanced their way….

Later that day….

Ichigo walked out of the school and looked around, wondering where the new girls were. His answer came when hands came out of nowhere and covered his eyes. "Guess who?!"

"Um…Aibara?"

The hands removed themselves. "Awww! You figured it out! That's no fun," Aibara pouted. Beside her walked Ochiru and Asuka. "So, you're Ichigo Kurosaki, huh?"

"Uh, yeah that's me." Ichigo was put off by the looks the trio was giving him. "Um…going back to what I asked before…have we met?"

"Well…" Asuka shyly said. "We were wondering if you could walk us home?" she asked, her eyes looking at him with the same want she had in the dream. "We don't know the neighborhood very well and we figured we could talk to a new friend."

Ichigo was a bit apprehensive of the girls. First he dreamed of them, then they showed up at his school and now they were asking him to walk them home? Something was very strange about these girls…but Ichigo decided that he should be neighborly for now. Maybe he'd get to the bottom of what's going on if he stuck around with them long enough. "Okay," he said while nodding his head. "Where do you live?"

"Oh, it's a little ways from here. Let's go!" Ochiru cheerfully said. Ichigo blushed hard when Ochiru took him by the hand and led the way, the other two girls glaring daggers into her back. "Teehee! This is so much fun!" Ochiru giggled as she led Ichigo down the street.

"Um…so who are you girls?" Ichigo asked.

Asuka, keeping pace with Ichigo, put a hand on his shoulder. "Oh that's right! We haven't fully introduced ourselves. I'm Asuka Tatsuhime," Asuka took Ichigo's unoccupied hand and shook it.

"I'm Ochiru Miyagi!" the brunette happily said, flashing Ichigo a knowing smile.

"And I'm Aibara Benihart!" the blonde added. "And you're Ichigo Kurosaki!"

Ichigo stared at the blonde before stopping when Asuka did. He looked up and saw a large house in front of him. "You three live here? Where are your parents?"

Asuka looked up at him with sad eyes and squeezed his hand. "Our parents died a long time ago. The three of us have been together so long we're practically family." Ichigo stared at the girl, not sure what to say or how to comfort her, feeling pain flowing from her emerald eyes.

"I'm sorry," he finally said, knowing what it was like to lose a parent.

Ochiru took hold of his other hand and squeezed lightly, returning the gesture. "That's very sweet of you, Ichigo. Thank you."

Ichigo turned to the brunette and stared at her hard, not sure of how to ask her if they'd met before. The trio seemed to be dodging around the issue, despite knowing Ichigo's apprehension and it somewhat unnerved Ichigo by how they kept looking at him.

"HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW!" his combat pass suddenly screamed in his pocket, startling him. "Oh, uh…I gotta go ladies. Something's come up!" he said, quickly walking away from the girls. Because his back was turned he didn't notice that they were staring at his pocket, hearing the same screech Ichigo did.

"Bye bye, Ichigo!" Aibara called out waving. "We'll see you soon!"

"Yes…" Asuka murmured as she watched Ichigo leave with lust in her eyes. "Very soon…."

The girls walked inside and stepped into their living room. Ochiru turned to her friends. "Wow. He's even more handsome up close!" She was shocked by the looks of scorn her two friends were throwing her. "What?"

Aibara glared at Ochiru. "Don't think we didn't see that! I thought we decided that we would get started the day AFTER we met Ichigo!"

Asuka nodded. "Yeah, we had a deal!"

Ochiru merely crossed her arms, inadvertendly pushing up her breasts through her school uniform. "So what? I wanted to feel Ichigo's hand in mine. I already told you that I was going to be the one who'd father Ichigo's child!"

"Not in this or any other lifetime!" Aibara growled, lunging for Ochiru's throat. "He's mine!" she roared as she choked Ochiru. "You hear me? MINE!"

Ochiru's struggle to breath ended when Asuka broke a chair over Aibara's head. "In your dreams, blondie! If anyone's going to share his bed, it'll be me!"

Everyone outside the house cowered when they heard the sounds of what sounded like jaguars thrashing around inside. The catfight continued until they felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure. Ochiru let go of Asuka's hair and stood up, reaching into her pocket. "That's Ichigo. I'm going to go help him." She pulled out a small pill and swallowed it, popping out of her Gigai.

"Oh no you don't!" Aibara popped into her Soul Reaper form and scowled. "You're not going alone! I don't want you seducing him with that shy act of yours before I get my shot!"

"Same," Ochiru noted, already in her Soul Reaper form. The three bolted out the window and left to go help the object of their affections: Ichigo.

Meanwhile….

Ichigo dodged another blow from the giant hollow and panted. "Where are these things coming?! There's just one after another!" He cursed himself for not grabbing Uryu or Chad for help. These things were tougher than they looked!

A large ape-like hollow smashed his fist at Ichigo, the boy barely getting out of the way before the roof caved in from the impact. "Damn! He's faster than he looks!"

A sneak attack from a frog hollow caught him off guard. "Damn it!" Ichigo cried out as its tongue wrapped around his leg, slamming him into the ground below. As he hit the ground, Ichigo's head hit a rock, causing his skull to crack. "Ugh…" he groaned, feeling dizzy. The whole world spun in his vison, not noticing the advancing hollows ready to make a snack out of the substitute.

"Pierce the heart: Tenshi!"

Pink arrows rained down from above, skewering the hollows about to engorge themselves on Ichigo. Ichigo looked up with weary eyes. 'What was that? That wasn't a Quincy's arrow like Uryu's….'

"Soar: Tsubasawashi!"

Blades of wind slashed at the hollows hovering above Ichigo, slicing them to ribbons. 'That…that was a zanpakuto….'

"Cherish forever: Zōgehakuchō!"

Ichigo's vison was blinded by a bright light, the rest of the hollows eliminated by a fast blade. "Who… who are you?" he muttered, still dizzy from his bleeding head. He closed his eyes as he felt soft hands cradle his head, setting him on something soft and warm.

"Rest, love. We promise we'll take good care of you…."

Ichigo lost consciousness as he felt his rescuers lift him up, carrying him to safety….
