meanwhile with Byakuya...

Byakuya had just gotten out of a meeting with the elders of his family and was fuming inside although none of it showed on his expressionless face. The elders had been unhappy about his decision to let Ichigo live with him and were arguing about him having no successors. He sighed and began walking back to his office. Then it came to him and he actually smiled as he hurried back to the Kuchiki manor to get something. After that he hurried to a certain candy store that made custom-made candies and placed an extra special order. Later on that evening , he went to pick up his order and smirked as he held a small bag with strawberry lollipops, with an extra special filling inside.

somewhere in the Rukon district...

Zaraki found himself in a field much to Yachiru's amusement.

"Eh? Where the hell are we?" Zaraki asked confused., his sense of direction as crappy as ever.

"You got us lost ken-chan." said the pink haired girl.

"You were the one guiding me."yelled Zaraki angrily.

"Kenny you shouldn't blame other people for your mistakes." said Yachiru pouting.

They argued a bit more then Zaraki got directions from Yachiru again and they started off. They finally came to a house with two statues standing before it that looked strangely like Ichigo and Ogichi fighting, their swords clashing to hold up a banner saying 'house of Kukaku Shiba.'.

They moved in for a closer look at Yachiru's insistence but were stopped immediately by the two twins. They were about to give the usual speech when they noticed that it was a captain and lieutenant standing there.

"Oh you're here to see our lovely lady." the 1st one.

"Come right this way Captain, she's currently in the backyard." said the 2nd one.

Before they knew what was happening , the two shinigamis found themselves being ushered around the side of the house to the back where they saw two people.

"You useless jackass!"yelled Kukaku. "I sent you to soul society to get me my favorite buns and you come back here empty handed. Two thousand pushups!" she continued screeching as she stomped poor Ganju into the ground.

"Die!die!die! Die you sorry excuse of a man!" she roared.

Then she noticed Zaraki and Yachiru watching her and a huge vein popped up on her forehead.

"You gotta problem?"she snarled.

Both shinigamis immediately shook their heads no. kukaku then walked over to them.

"Well what can I do for you?" she asked.

"Your idiot brother ran me down with his friends today and because of him my strawberry got away." Zaraki said angrily , pulling out his Zanpakto. "I'm here to thank him for it."

"Eh?"asked Kukaku angrily. "Did you just call my little brother an idiot?" even though she did, she allowed no one else to insult her brother.

"He is an idiotic pig straddler!" Yelled Zaraki becoming equally enraged.

Meanwhile the twins and Ganju began backing up when they saw her getting so angry and Yachiru shunpod off to stand on one of the statue's head, safely out of range or so she thought.

"Uh ! Uh ! Uh! Why you!" Kukaku yelled as her hand caught fire. She slammed her hand into Zaraki's chest, effectively turning his whole body black, hair and bells including.

Zaraki was never more happy to have such strong spirit energy that at that moment since he hadn't been seriously damaged. That punch had packed a whole lot of fire power.

"He he he heh he heh."he laughed gleefully , ready for a fight. "So you're Kukaku Shiba , the great fireworks expert huh? That the best you got?" he taunted.

Kukaku got even angrier and hit him again. The next thing he knew, he was on his stomach getting stomped into the ground like her brother was before. When she finally calmed down enough , he felt strangely charmed and not in the mood to kill her at all. Shocker much? Oddly, Kukaku found him kinda hot too and will wonders never seize, blushed prettily.

"Would you like to stay for dinner captain?" she asked feeling suddenly shy.

Zaraki grinned and nodded. Then he collected Yachiru and they walked into the house, with a bewildered Ganju following them. It had freaked him out to see his sister blushing , not to mention the fact that she was falling for the craziest captain in the entire sereitei , after Kurotsuchi of course, who was in a class all by himself.

After work that day, Ichigo hurried home and found Byakuya already there and waiting for him.

"Hey Byakuya." he said hurrying up to him to give him a quick kiss before breaking it off. "I'm gonna go take a quick shower and prepare for dinner okay?" he told him.

Byakuya nodded and Ichigo hurried into their bathroom and took a quick shower. He got out and joined the others for dinner as soon as he was dressed. Afterwards , he walked into their bedroom, deciding then and there that he would get some paperwork done before joining his lover in bed. As he walked by his lover, who was currently undoing his kenseikan, he thought he saw a slight smirk but he ignored it. He walked into what was now both their office and noticed a small bag of custom-made candy lying on the desk. He walked over to it and smiled when he saw the note that Byakuya had left him.

Ichigo,

I know how much you like candy so I got these made especially for you. Try the lollipop first, its your favorite flavor.

Byakuya

Ichigo flushed with pleasure at his Koi's unusual thoughtfulness. He quickly opened the bag and pulled out the lollipop, his mouth watering as he looked at all the delicious candy surrounding it. He quickly removed the wrapper and popped it into his mouth. He hummed his little song as he sucked on it, all while doing paperwork. Half an hour later, the candy was all gone much to his dismay.

He sighed but continued to work for another hour but stopped when he felt a strange cramping in his stomach. He doubled over and gasped as it continued, wondering what he had eaten to give him such a nasty feeling. It felt as if his stomach was rearranging itself. Then the pain eased up and left as quickly as it had come a few minutes later and he sighed, promising himself never to eat so much candy all at once before going to join his lover. He was a bit glad that he hadnt called Byakuya when it happened or he would have felt stupid since it was obviously his own fault for his rapid sugar intake. He decided to just forget about it since he felt perfectly fine now and went to the bathroom to prepare for bed. He got out and then he walked over to Byakuya who was sitting up in bed waiting for him.

"Thanks for the candy Bya-koi. I really enjoyed them, especially the lollipop." he said cutely, not wanting to tell him that they had almost ripped his stomach apart.

"You're welcome luv." said Byakuya with a twinkle in his eye.

Then he leaned over and began to kiss his cute little berry, exploring the contours of his mouth with his tongue. As he kissed him , he trailed his fingers down the berry's hairless chest and down to loosen the strings on his pajama bottoms. Byakuya silently wondered why he wore them when he knew they would be off as soon as he came near him. He slid his hand down into his lovers pants and began stroking his arousal.

"Mmmm!"Ichigo moaned in pleasure, thrusting up into his lover's hands.

Byakuya broke their kiss and began placing butterfly kisses on his jaw and down the side of his neck.

"Bya-koi." the berry moaned as Byakuya bit him in the niche of his neck.

Byakuya slid down and pulled one of Ichigo's pale nipples into his mouth and began to sucking, licking and biting, making the boy whimper and moan in delight. He moved to the other and began his exquisite torture anew. Then he trailed little wet kisses down his torso as he removed the boys pants completely. He reached over to the side table and picked up the lubricant. Then he pulled the boys weeping tip into his wet mouth as he gently slid one lubed finger deep inside him. He began to prepare him as he let his manhood slide in and out of his mouth.

"Aaaaaaah ! More! " Ichigo begged, thrusting into his lover's mouth.

Byakuya began using a bit of teeth as he added two more fingers, sliding the three of them in and out of the boy, stretching him as he did so. Ichigo grinded his hips on the fingers lodged deep inside him, effectively impaling himself over and over on the digits.

"Byakuya!" he screamed as he exploded.

Byakuya swallowed his lover's essence eagerly before releasing him from his lips. He removed his own fundoshi and lubed his erection as Ichigo spread his thighs even wider, bringing his knees up and giving the older man a good view of his portal. Byakuya smirked as he positioned himself at the boy's entrance. He looked down at the boy who was eagerly waiting to be taken.

"Take me Bya-koi." Ichigo entreated. "I need to feel you deep inside me."

Byakuya thrust deep inside him, causing the both of them to moan in painful pleasure. He paused for a bit, allowing his lover to adjust to his generous size. Then he began to move, much to the boy's delight. Ichigo lifted his hips to meet each violent thrust, moaning and grunting in pleasure as he did so. Byakuya lifted the boy's legs and placed them on his shoulder, gripping his hips firmly as he continued to thrust into him. Byakuya began hammering away at his lover's prostate, causing the boy to go wild with pleasure.

"Nyaah! Harder please Byakuya-sama!" he half begged , half demanded in a husky voice thick with arousal.

Byakuya smirked but did as the boy demanded, giving it to him hard and fast, just the way he needed it. He loved it when the boy spoke to him that way, it turned him on even more. He tilted the boys body a bit more, lifting his hips completely off the bed and most of his body as he continued to pound into him. He loved the fact that the boy was so flexible, he really enjoyed putting him in various positions. Then Ichigo began stroking his revived arousal as Byakuya too him.

"Nnngh! Give it to me Byakuya-sama!" he screamed as he spilled all over them.

Byakuya joined him a few seconds later, emptying himself deep inside his lover.

An hour and a half later, after a few more sessions of Byakuya's intense fucking, Byakuya cleaned him up and then pulled him into his embrace. Ichigo smiled to himself as he wrapped his arms around his lover's waist. He always felt safe from everything whenever Byakuya held him this way and he liked that feeling.

"Ichigo I love you." said Byakuya quietly in the darkness, thinking that Ichigo was asleep.

"I love you too Koi."Ichigo replied , startling the older man.

To be honest, Ichigo was a bit surprised by the sudden confession. Byakuya was never the type to say things out in the open like that. He grinned as he began to fall asleep, thinking that it was nice to hear his lover say it out loud for a change. As he drifted off , he heard something that almost woke him up.

"Forgive me Ichigo," he heard his lover sigh .

Ichigo wasn't sure if he had heard what he did, he wanted to check , but he was too far gone into exhaustion to bother try waking up now. He fell asleep then and forgot about it. As he slept, unknown to him, deep inside him a newly developed egg had been fertilized and was growing. The pain that he had felt earlier was him growing the female reproductive organs. While his outer appearance wasn't altered just yet, inside him things had changed.

a month later...

Ichigo woke up and made a mad dash to the bathroom and locked the door before doubling over the toilet and puking his guts out. He had locked the door because he felt a bit self conscious and really didn't want Byakuya to see him like this. As soon as he was done , he quickly showered and got ready for work.

Ths was the fifth morning that he had woken up feeling sick and by now he had admitted to himself that there was something wrong. He decided that he would speak to Unohana-Taicho as soon as the meeting had ended. Sighing he went out to have breakfast.

Lately, he had noticed that Byakuya was even more quiet than normal, if that's even possible. He was a bit puzzled by all this but decided to leave it alone for a bit, right now he was more worried about his health. They finished breakfast and left for the captains meeting that was mandatory for both. As they assembled for the captain's meeting, Ichigo began to feel tired and a bit nauseated.

The 1st captain continued to drone on and one but by now Ichigo had tuned him out due to Nausea. It was all he could do to keep the contents of his stomach in. He desperately tried to hang on until a powerful wave of it hit him. He shunpod across the room and into the bathroom nearby and could be heard puking his guts out. By now the meeting had paused by since it was unusual for Ichigo to act this way or to be sick at all, fight wounds not withstanding.

Ichigo emptied his stomach of the breakfast he had eaten earlier and after rinsing his mouth, weakly walked back out to rejoin them.

"My apologies, I haven't been feeling well lately." he said tiredly as he continued back to his spot. "I was actually planning to see Unohana -Taicho today after this meeting was over."

Unohana gave him a serene smile. "What are you symptoms Ichigo?" she asked simply, knowing that if there was anything wrong with him all the captains would have to be informed anyway.

"Um, its kinda strange." he began. "As soon as I wake up I feel nauseous and it continues until lunchtime. I feel strangely tired and my stomach feels as if there are little butterflies flying around in there or something. Maybe I have a stomach virus." said the boy worriedly.

"Well, lets see then shall we?" she said beginning to walk over to him.

"That isn't necessary." said Byakuya suddenly, surprising the others. "I already know what's wrong with him."

Everyone secretly thought that was odd but didn't say anything.

"You do?"said Ichigo surprised, turning to look at his Koi.

Byakuya sighed, wishing he had told Ichigo the truth before today, as he would not be in this awkward position now.

"Yes."he answered looking straight ahead, not wanting to see the anger and possibly hate that was about to be on the other man's face. "Your carrying our child Ichigo, my heir."

Ichigo's ,"what?!" could be heard all the way in Karakura town.

"That's impossible Byakuya, I'm a boy remember?" Ichigo said disbelievingly, wondering if his koi had lost his mind.

Byakuya didn't respond and most of the other captains who knew were shuffling around nervously.

"Actually there is a way for a boy to get pregnant her Ichigo." said Kurotsuchi, he hadn't forgiven Byakuya for their fight and he was glad to finally be getting back at him. "But it is known only to the nobles, particularly the heads of the families. It's a potion that allows you to grow the proper parts for such an endeavor."

"But I dint take any strange potions or anything." Ichigo said confused.

"It can be given to you in your food as it is odorless and can be made into any particular flavor you want if required." Kurotsuchi informed him. " have you eaten anything that seemed a bit unusual lately?"

"What you're saying makes no sense Kurotsuchi." Ichigo told him. " I didn't take anything like that and Byakuya would never do something like that without my consent. Besides, we eat the same thing together everyday , well except for the custom-made candy he got me..." he trailed off , paling even more.

He turned to look at his lover, wishing he would deny it all and make everything better. "It was in the candy wasn't it?" he asked him. "That's why I was in pain after eating it right?"

Byakuya didn't respond.

"Well why don't you answer me Byakuya. " Ichigo asked incensed. "If you're brave enough to do it, then you should be able to say it. WAS ...IT...IN...THE...CANDY?"he asked dragging the question out.

Byakuya disliked speaking about private matters in public but he knew he had no choice now. "Yes, it was."

The look on Ichigo's face was almost to painful to watch. He looked broken and lost for a minute before pure rage took over. His pupils turned yellow as his mask began to form. He reached over his shoulder for his zanpakto but Byakuya's voice stopped him.

"You cant fight in your state, it will harm our child." he told him.

Ichigo let go of his zanpakto's handle and the mask on his face shattered as it faded away. It was obvious to everyone that he not only had full control over his inner hollow, but that he would never knowingly harm his innocent child. He stood there desperately trying to calm his temper. He slowly turned to face the 1st captain.

"Captain yamamato, I would like to formally request permission to visit my family for a while." Ichigo said.

"No." Byakuya said immediately. "I'll never allow you to leave me nor will you take my child anywhere. Our laws forbid that you leave soul society while pregnant and especially not with my heir."

Ichigo hissed and his eyes turned yellow one again as he turned to look at the noble. "I'm leaving you wether or not you like it even if I'm unable to leave soul society." he told him coldly.

"Then I dare you to try it." Byakuya said angrily.

Ichigo turned his back to Byakuya and waited for the first captains answer. The old man sighed , he really didn't want to be in the middle of this mess right now. This was one of the times that he really hated being in charge.

"Unfortunately Ichigo, what Kuchiki - taicho said is true. You are not allowed to leave soul society while pregnant, especially with a noble heir. I'm sorry but your request is denied." he told him.

Ichigo said nothing else but his eyes were still in there current state and the killing intent was rolling off him in waves. His Reiatsu was brimming with anger, hate , despair, betrayal and various other negative energy and if it weren't for the fact that these were captains, they would have all been unconscious by now. The others felt sorry for him since all his choices had been taken away from him by the man he loved.

As soon as the meeting was over, Ichigo turned and shunpod out of the room to his office. Byakuya, immediately went after him, knowing that they need to talk. The other captains followed as well, except for the 1st captain of course, wanting to eavesdrop on what was about to be the biggest scandal in souls society since Rukia's almost execution and the war that followed.
