Grimmjow was on bitch patrol. At least that is what Grimmjow called searching for unmarked betas. Mating Season started a bit earlier than usual, so Grimmjow and Nnoitra were kinda just threw out to find unmarked betas and bring them back with them. Grimmjow had 7 betas latched onto him. He was a strong and attractive alpha, so betas usually threw themselves at Grimmjow's feet, begging to be taken. Grimmjow thought of them as simply whores. A loud roar ripped through the air. Grimmjow shook all the betas off himself, rushing towards the familiar scent mixed with an overpowering, almost intoxicant beta smell. He blinked upon seeing the orange haired Shinigami, a bandage over his left eye. The Shinigami was on his back, barely holding the large Hollow away from his face. "GET THE FUCKING HELL OFF" Ichigo screeched. The Hollow pushed its head closer to Ichigo's. "I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU BRAINLESS ALPHA" the orangette added with a snarl.

Grimmjow walked over, throwing the alpha away. He stood in front of Ichigo, growling at the other Hollow. The stupid alpha leaped at Grimmjow. Grimmjow simply raised a hand, throwing the Hollow back again, a cero firing just as the Hollow hit the ground. The Hollow was pretty much nothing at this point. "What is a Shinigami beta doing in Hueco Mundo?" Grimmjow asked.

"Shut up…this wasn't really my choice" Ichigo growled, eye narrowed at Grimmjow.

"Grimmjow-sama…do you really need to take that thing too?" one of the wh- err betas asked.

"By thing you mean" Ichigo growled, already on his feet again.

"Some worthless Shinigami bitch" the beta who spoke snapped.

Ichigo shook his head, a evil grin appeared on his lips. "Worthless bitch who can and WILL kill you if you continue to insult me" Ichigo purred, his voice low and goosebump worthy.

All the betas nodded, scared. "You an't a bitch berry" Grimmjow snorted.

"Yes I am…probably one of the biggest you will meet…I don't take alphas and their shit…I don't care what any of you idiots think…and I have been told I am feisty as hell and deadly when angered…sounds like a bitchy bitch to me" Ichigo snorted.

The other betas took a silent vote and decide Ichigo was their new leader. "Yet I will guess this is your first mating season" Grimmjow rolled his eyes.

"Second" Ichigo sighed.

"And you managed to get by without an alpha…I don't believe that is possible kitten" Grimmjow snorted.

"Betas aren't as weak as you think" one of the betas snapped, claw on her hip like a sass girl.

"Thank you" Ichigo smirked.

Grimmjow instantly knew 8 betas, one of them being someone that kicked his ass, against him wouldn't end well for him. "Look kitten, you are an unmarked beta so you are coming to Las Noches" Grimmjow commanded.

"…No" Ichigo replied, turning to walk away. Grimmojow grabbed the orangette's arm, pulling him back. Ichigo squeaked, falling back on Grimmjow. A black rope necklace with a golden pepper shaped gem hung on the end thumped Ichigo's chest. Grimmjow couldn't help but blink at it, the gem was giving off Hollowed Reistu. Ichigo quickly tucked it back under his robe with a scowl. "Leave me alone or I will kill you got it?" Ichigo snarled before racing away. Grimmjow watched. Ichigo was doomed without Zangetsu or any knowledge of Kido. At least that was Grimmjow's thought on it.

Ichigo was now curled up in a small cave. No big Hollows could get in. Ichigo thought back to what Shiro told him almost a year ago. Ichigo was the key. He was a hybrid of Human, Hollow, and Shinigami. Ichigo spend most of his first mating season in the 'safety' of the Soul Society. Only 5 people knew Ichigo was the Key.

"So Ichigo is a super powerful uke who can make his seme a god?" Renji asked.

"Correct" Shiro nodded.

"So who and what are you?" Shinji asked?

"Are you his seme?" Rukia smirked.

Ichigo blushed, getting up from Shiro's lap. "In a way yes…but when the Key was originally born it was dubbed much too powerful, even before it could move around much. They were trying to spilt it exactly in half but most of the Hollow and a small amount of Human was spilt. That part surprisingly evolved into an alpha instead of a beta. That part was me." Shiro explained.

"What happened to have Ichigo reborn?" Renji asked.

"He was tricked…since he was mostly Human and Shinigami, he believed in love. He was weaken to near death by his 'love'…he was sealed in a gem" Shiro started, motioning at the gem Ichigo was given a bit ago. "It was smashed accidently and he was killed"

"So you have lived through all that" Rukia gasped.

"I knew he would be reborn…as long as one of us lives the other would come back" Shiro responded.

"So why do you have a necklace on…it's kinda…girlish and you are an alpha" Renji asked.

"Ichigo's gem was smashed so I had to fix the necklace…"

"Why do you have Ichigo's gem" Shinji asked.

"I have his so I can find him easily and he has mine so he can find me…it's just sorta an extra connection" Shiro shrugged.

"When does mating season end?" Rukia asked.

"Can't wait to get ridden of Shiro and me?" Ichigo teased.

"A few more days" Shinji replied.

Rukia nodded. Ichigo smiled, glad to know his closest friends understood everything so far and he wouldn't have to lie about it later. A small Hollowed reistu has the group alert, well all but Shiro. A tiny white kitten-like Hollow staggered in, bloody with cuts and scratches. it had black ears and a black tip of its tail, along with a dark red slash looking mark under its left eye. "…A tiny Hollow?" Renji asked.

"A baby Hollow…probably 2 months old…they get teeth and claws around 3 months, learn ceros around 6 months, and finally get their survival instincts around a year" Shiro explained as Ichigo scooped up the kitten. Ichigo held the cub gently, with a motherly carefulness. "It's mom was probably killed by an alpha and it came to Ichi, knowing he was a beta, a childless one" Shiro added with a smirk.

"He's staying" Ichigo stated.

"All betas want a child...a much better idea for Ichigo to just adopt one" Shiro smiled, kissing Ichigo's forehead.

"Why is adoption a better idea?" Renji asked.

"Only other way…pregnancy…Ichigo is violent now…do you want more violent, more emotional Ichigo for a few months to a few years" Shiro smirked.

"No" Renji gulped.

"What's with that large gap between?" Rukia asked.

"Depends on the alpha type…cuz Ichi doesn't really have a type cuz of his blood" Shiro replied with a smirk.

Ichigo was now cleaning the blood off his new son. "What are you going to name him?" Shinji asked, kneeling next to Ichigo.

"…Koneko" Ichigo replied.

Everyone smiled. "Koneko…I'm Koneko" the cub squeaked happily. Ichigo gave him a kiss on the forehead

Ichigo's heart ached for his son and his counterpart. His son was about a year and 2 ½ months old now. Ichigo opened his right eye, realizing he had fallen asleep. Shiro sat near him, a guilt look on his face. "Shiro!" Ichigo squealed, hugging his counterpart.

"Hey Ichi" Shiro replied, his normal cheer replaced with regret.

Ichigo pulled back to look at his white twin. "Where's Koneko?" Ichigo blinked.

"As soon as he saw you, he opened a gartanga and tried to follow you…I couldn't stop him" Shiro explained.

Ichigo stared at him before breaking into tears.
