Two days later, we knew we were in for it big time when we got back home. Yet, we didn't care.

"Are you OK, you don't look so good," Ichigo asked me worriedly, grabbing me in case I fell.

"It's just weird. Nothing feels different, but at the same time, nothing feels the same, not even kissing you," I shook my head.

"Well, we can work on fixing that, " He kissed me.

I smiled and slapped him away playfully, "No, because my lips are already numb from you using them so much. No, I mean different in a good way,"

He hugged me, "I think I get you,"

I hugged him back, "No, you have me,"

Just then, the door flew open and the entire family, and Rukia and Renji, pulled us into the house. I'm sure that were I simply observing, it would have seemed quite comical. We wound up sitting in the kitchen, it being able to hold everyone more comfortably.

"Where were you two?" Isshin demanded.

Ichigo and I looked at each other, "Well, at first we were here, then we left to another part of town,"

"And which part would that be, Miss Sarcasm?" Karin asked me.

I bit my lower lip, letting Ichigo tell them what we were really doing, "I believe that is up to Yasu,"

They all turned back to me. I blushed, not liking all this attention. Ichigo shrugged apologetically at me. I took a deep breath, as if I were heading for the guillotine to receive it's deadly purpose.

"Well, I really don't feel comfortable saying, but I can guarantee that this absence was needed," I glanced nervously at Ichigo.

"Yasu has spoken," Ichigo pulled the attention back to him, "But I'm sure you'll find out sooner or later,"

"I'm sorry," I muttered, looking at the floor.

"It's fine. You are both at that age, so I guess all there is to do now is to ride along," Isshin shrugged.

Karin looked back at her kooky father, "But dad!"

He looked at her seriously, "Ichigo's a good kid, so I know it's nothing to worry about. Yasu, you don't-"

The rest of Isshin's words were lost to me as I fainted, completely. I woke up, not lying in a bed, but on Ichigo. It looked like he had stayed awake the whole time I was out. I didn't need to think about much else, as everything became clear to me. I was in Ichigo's arms, and it was mid-afternoon. The room, which I almost immediately recognized as his, was empty of even Kon.

"Ichi, what happened?" I blinked a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

He frowned down at me, though I could tell he was uber relieved to see me up and moving, "We really need to talk,"

I tilted my head and readjusted myself in his arms, "What about?"

He blushed, hating to have to discuss this, "You and Aizen. You mentioned his intentions for you after you two...Well, you know,"

I looked down at my feet, "Oh. That. Well, as I told you, he told me that he wanted to use me for a breeder via injection,"

Ichigo nodded, "But as far as you know, nothing happened?"

I tensed in his arms, "Not exactly. We did fuck, so......"

"Do you think that he had already injected himself?"

"You spoke to Kisuke, didn't you?" I looked at him in the eyes.

"Yeah, he was here,"

I knew that meant Isshin couldn't figure out what happened, so Rukia or someone had summoned Kisuke over to check me out, "Was he any help?"

Ichigo's face darkened, "He did figure out what the problem was, yes. Or rather, problems is more accurate,"

I looked at him in confusion, "Problems? What's wrong with me? Am I going to die? How much time do we have?"

Ichigo laughed, but it was only because of my dramatics, "The odds are in your favor, more or less,"

My eyes widened larger than saucers, "More or less?"

He held me tighter to him, "Sorry, health wise, the odds are certainly in your favor. I meant in others ways,"

I pushed him back slightly, but still kept him slightly too close for comfort, "Ich, what is it?"

He sighed, "Yasu, Aizen gave you something, something that I'm not sure is what we need,"

I raised my eyebrow.

"But I promise that I will be here," He grasped my hands in his.

I smiled, "I know. In my life, that is the one thing I know will not change,"

He kissed my hands, "Yasu, I love you,"

I kissed his cheek, "I love you too, but you really need to hurry and tell me what is wrong with me,"

He nodded reluctantly, "Yasu, Kisuke determined that Aizen, via the same potion that conceived you, got you pregnant,"

I froze and my limbs turned into lead. How could this have happened? Er, scratch that question. No, the real question was how could Ichigo be so calm about this? How could they have found out this soon? Actually, Kisuke was a bit of a mad genius, so I'm sure he had some kind of equipment that told him. Wait, how were we going to handle this?


Sorry it took so uncharacteristically long to update! I had to rewrite the chapter, and I was too lazy to to it, so I delayed it for a few days. Sorry!

I don't own Bleach.
