DISCLAIMER: don't ownnnnnnn anything
Ichigo went the quickest way to Urahara's Shop. He had tried everything he could to get to the Soul Socitey since Rukia left. He had even worked at the Urahara Shop for a while in hopes of Urahara sending him to the Soul Society as payment and if that didn't work: snooping around until he found a way there. But Urahara didn't pay him, and he didn't find a way there. Ichigo had asked everyone, Ishida, Inoue, Chad, the modified souls, Kon Tessai, Jinta and Ururu on how to get to the Soul Society. He even went as far as asking Karin what she knew about Shinigami's in a desperate attempt.
Ichigo saw Urahara standing at the front of his shop, a smug smirk on his face.
"What took you so long Ichigo?" Ichigo just contiued to walk inside of the shop and turned his head to the side and called over his shoulder to Urahara.
"Im going to the Soul Society." Ichgio said, fully of confiedence. Urahara followed him inside and closed the door, he had heard Ichigo say that same sentence day in and day out for the last few months.
"Goodluck with that" Urahara said as he walked infront of Ichigo and lead him into a room where there was hot coffee already set out waiting for them.
"There's a reason you're not sending me there" Ichigo said as he took a seat, Urahara following suit. Urahara just took a sip of his coffee and made a 'mmm' sound, ignoring what Ichigo had said.
"Just tell me why" Ichigo asked, his voice harsh and serious.
"Have some coffe Ichigo" Urahara said as he slowly pushed Ichigo's mug towards him.
"You've proberly drugged it" Ichigo muttered, shoving it back towards Urahara.
"I would never do such a th-"
"DON'T CHANGING THE SUBJECT!" Ichigo yelled, banging his first on the table.
"Now, now Ichigo" Urahara said in a dissaproving tone.
"Stop wasiting my time! I just want to see Rukia!" Ichigo yelled, his eyes full of pain.
"I just want to see Rukia…" Ichigo whispered again, his head hung low, and his fists were clenched tight.
"Please" Ichigo whispered, looked up at Urahara. His eyes begging and pleading, he had this gut feeling that something had happened to Rukia. He needed to protect her from whatever was happening.
"I want to let you see Rukia" Urahara said as he stood up, he motioned for Ichigo to follow him.
"Come back here tomorrow at around lunch time, I might let you go" Urahara said as he opened the front door to the shop.
"You better let me go" Ichigo said as he walked out the door, eyeing Urahara out of the corner of his eye
"Be here or be square Ichigo!!" Urahara called out as Ichigo started to walk home.
Urahara walked back inside his shop and smiled as Yoruichi stood leaning against the wall.
"I'll take him, he needs to know he has a kid" Yoruichi said as she yawned.
"Rukia and Ichigo have a baby boy" Urahara said, making Yoruichi smile.
Rukia opened her eyes slowly at the sound of snoring. Her whole body felt worn out, and for a moment she couldn't figure out why until her surroundings became clear. She had given birth last night. Rukia slowly raised herself up into a sitting postition and saw her brother watching her closly.
"Sleep well?" Byakuya asked with the smallest hint of emotion in his voice. Rukia rubbed her eyes and smiled sleeply.
"Yes, thankyou. He slept well" Rukia said as she looked into the crib to see her son asleep. In the corner of her eye, Rukia finally noticed where the snoring was coming from. Renji.
"Im guessing he slet well too" Rukia said as she rolled her eyes at her oldest friend. Byakyuya just nodded, another almost smile appearing on his face.
"Unohana said that you're okay to come back to the Kuchki estate today." Byakuya said as he slowly raised himself from the hospital chair.
"I'll leave you in Renji's care, but I have to go back to work" Rukia just nodded, the Kuchki estate was an empty mansion, and she wanted a real home for her and her son, a family. 'Don't be so selfish.' Rukia thought, as she mentally slapped herself. 'It wouldn't work out' .
"Oh and Rukia," Byakuya said as he was almost out the door, Rukia's head shot up, knowing what he was about to say.
"It's almost time," and with that, Byakuya dissapeared in a series of flash steps. Rukia let her head drop and she stared into her lap. After Byakuya found out about Rukia being pregnat, he immediantly come up with a solution so that Rukia could still uphold the Kuchki honer. She knew that it was the best thing, but she couldn't bring herself to say yes. Rukia's head screamed that it was the wise thing to do, that it would be best for her child to grow up in a family. But Rukia's heart cried out, the only family her son should grow up in was with his real father.
Byakuya had not spoken to Rukia all day. She had told him that she was pregnat. It was the first time in Rukia's whole life she had seen any emotion in her brother. He was a mixed between anger and dissapointment, but he took the news better then Rukia had thought. Then she told him who the father was. Everything went down hill from there.
It was the first time Byakuya had ever really raised his voice at Rukia.
"WHAT!?" Byakuya's emotions were in overtime. He was now furious and dumbfounded and his spitual pressure went higher then Rukia had ever felt it, and she started to get scared. She closed here eyes hoping that when she opened them he would be calm, and when she did Byakuya had dissapeared from Rukia's sight, he had flash stepped somewhere.
That was the last time Rukia had seen Byakuya. It was now nearing dinner time and Rukia awaited anxiously in the dinning room. It felt like centuaries that she waited in silence as the food was being served and still no Byakuya.
Rukia had eaten half of her meal when Byakuya finally made an appearance. He entered the dinning room and sat quietly at the head of the table. He started eating the food that was infront of him and didn't look at Rukia once.
"I have decided on a solution for your problem" Byakuya said, still not looking at Rukia. Rukia just looked across the table, confused, but continued to eat her meal in par with Byakuya.
"You will marry Renji, and he wil be the father of your child."
Rukia started choking on the food that she was chewing. She took a gulp of water and cleared her throat.
"Excuse me?" Rukia managed to say. Byakuya still didn't look at her.
"You will do the honorable thing by the Kuchki clan and marry. You can not have a baby without being atleast engaded."
Now it was Rukia's turn to be angry.
"So I tell everyone its Renji's baby and we get married and live happily ever after?" Rukia said, her tone oviously sarcastic. Byakuya finally looked up at her for the first time, his eyes cold and void.
"Do not speak to me like that. You will do as your told"
"I didn't ask for your help! Ichigo and I could do this you know! It could work-"
"No you couldn't Rukia, don't fool yourself. Don't you think you've altered his life enough as it is?" Byakuya knew that what he had said would of hit Rukia hard, he knew she always felt guilty for completely changing his world. Rukia fell silent, knowing what he said was true.
"Atleast this way, your child has a father, you have a husband, and you wouldn't have to do this alone" Byakuya tried to make his voice sound soft. He was doing this for Rukia more then for the Kuchki reputation, he didn't want her to have to raise this child on her own.
"But Ichigo…" Rukia could feel herself about to cry, she didn't want to do this without Ichigo.
"You would just cause Ichigo a lot of stress, I think its better that you don't tell him" and with that Byakuya had finished his meal and stood up.
"Think about it logically Rukia"
