'How did she get into this situation' Jenna asked herself as Orihime and Tatsuki pulled her into a dress shop in the mall. "Come on let's go pick out a dress for you so I can take a look at Ichigo's face when he gets a nose bleed." Tatsuki said laughing. "Ichigo…" you say softly.

-Earlier that morning.

She didn't know why but Jenna sensed something was wrong with Ichigo. When she woke up this morning he was in the bathroom looking down at something. She went to ask what it was but he just smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead. He then walked passed her and went to start making breakfast. At the breakfast table he avoided looking at her most of the times and he hardly said anything to her at all. When she tried to hug him he wouldn't fully wrap his arms around her like he would usually do. When she tried to ask him if he was okay he ignored the question.

"So how are you feeling Jenna?" Orihime asked cleaning up. "I am a bit dizzy but other than that I am fine. Where did Ichigo go?" Jenna asked looking around. "Oh he got a phone call from his dad. Oh and Rukia and Renji had to go somewhere for some reason. I also have to get going since me and Tatsuki are going shopping today. Would you like to come with? I am sure Ichigo wouldn't mind." You looked at Orihime a bit shocking since it was very rare for her to ask you out. "I guess it could be fun." You finally say as the smile grew on Orihime's face.

Now she was out window shopping with Orihime and Tatsuki. They would pull her into the stores and make her try to make her try out some new clothes. She refused and quickly pointed out that she liked dresses. With that now known fact they dragged her into a new dress shop to try on new dresses. "Why don't you try this one?" Orihime held out a pink fluffy dress that had the character Domo on it in different colors. It had ribbons on the sleeves and around the rims of the dress. Jenna and Tatsuki both started at the dress until they came to the agreement of burning it. "Well, how about this one?" She picked up a slim tight blue dress that stopped at the hips. "This fits you since you do have the curves for it." Tatsuki says patting Jenna on the back. Jenna blushed and twirled the ends of her hair. "Um actually I want to look really nice for Ichigo…so um…" Suddenly sparks went up in Orihime and Tatsuki eyes since Jenna never really expresses how she wants look for Ichigo. They took off all over the store looking for a dress and left a puzzled Jenna alone.

In the end they weren't able to get anything since Orihime knocked over a new shipment of clothes. They were kicked out and temporarily banned from the store until everything was fixed. Orihime and Tatsuki pulled Jenna to the snack bar laughing from it. "Did you see that lady's face when Orihime knocked down those dresses?" Tatsuki laughed at a blushing Orihime. Jenna couldn't help but laugh along. They continued to window shop and enjoy themselves for a few more minutes. It wasn't until they were walking when Jenna realized that nothing bad has happen to her. No random things dropping on her head, no strange feeling that she was being watched, and no voices. It was very peaceful and she really enjoyed herself. They reached Jenna's home and saw Ichigo leaning against the rail. He looked like something was troubling him.

"Ichigo why are you outside? You know where the spare key is." Jenna says. Ichigo smiles slightly. "Actually we are staying at my place tonight. Do you mind?" Jenna shakes her head and smiles at him however, Ichigo waves good bye to Orihime and Tatsuki and without looking and without saying anything he pulls her along. She turned her head to see a worried looked on both the girls' faces. "Ichigo are you okay?" She felt his grip tighten around her hand. "Yea I am fine. I just have a lot on my mind." "Would you like to talk about it?" "No. It's not important right now." Jenna frowned but she said nothing else as they walked back to Ichigo's dad.

"Well look who came for a visit! It's my favorite soon to be daughter! Come and give your father a hug!" Ichigo's dad jumped and leaped towards Jenna with his arms outstretched. Ichigo pulled her out the way slammed his foot in his dad's face causing him fall to the floor. "I told you to not jump on her like that. She may take you as an old pervert." His dad jumps up, completely unaffected but the hit, and launch toward Ichigo. "Whaaaat how could anyone think of me as a pervert! I just want to give her love hug!" Ichigo threw a punch at him and he blocked it. He through another punch and it was also blocked. Now they were in a stand still. "Calling that a hug a love hug is proof old man." Jenna watched the two fight it out before she started felling sickly. She slowly walked towards the stairs and when she saw that the coast was clear she took off towards the bathroom. She closed the door and locked it and made it to the toilet just in time. "Ugh…why am I feeling sick now…?" When she was done she cleaned up and made her way to Ichigo's room. He was already there now fussing with a stuff animal. "Ichigo why are you yelling at a teddy bear?." He blushed a bit and threw the bear into his open closet. Jenna walked over and sat beside him. He still looked troubled and she couldn't help but wonder what was on his mind. "Ichigo…" "I know it's still early but you must be tired. You should lie down and take a nap." There was a small hint of harshness in his voice but she decided that she just imaging things. Jenna crawled into bed and got under the blankets. Ichigo watched her and when she was comfortable he rubbed her cheek as she drifted off to sleep. He frowns as he moved to sit at his desk. He opened the desk drawer and looked at the pregnancy box.


I will always be here to protect you…Jenna…

Jenna woke up alone in the room. She rubbed her head and groaned. She was having such a good day and now the voices wanted to taunt her. Jenna looked out the window and realized the street lights were coming home. "How long did I sleep?" She sat up, stretched and yawned. There was a knock on the door and it then it opened. Ichigo walked in and smiled softly at her. "Hey, looks like you are finally up." Jenna smiled. "Yea, I must have had been more tired than I thought" Even though Ichigo was smiling she felt something was a little off. "Hey Jenna…" Jenna looked up at Ichigo was walking towards her with something in his hand. She looked a little confused until she notices what it was. Ichigo sat down on the bed, rubbed his head, and took a deep breath. "How long…" She looked at him with confusion. "Jenna…it's time to cut the crap. I found this in your trash when I was over at your house." He throws down the pregnancy box in front of her. Jenna looks at the box and puts her head down. "Ichigo…I can explain…" "How long Jenna…" Jenna signs. "Only for a couple of weeks…" Ichigo nodded his head and got up. He walked around the room like he was trying to figure out what to say. "So who is the father?" "…I don't know…" Once again Ichigo nodded and chuckled. "So you are pregnant and you don't even know the father. The father is obviously the last man you slept with!" Ichigo said blurting out in an outrage. Jenna jumped at the sudden out bust. "I haven't slept with anyone Ichigo…I swear I haven't!" "Jenna you can't just get pregnant without having sex! That is impossible. You have been lying to me for weeks so the least you can do is tell me." Jenna jumped up out the bed. "Ichigo please listen I swear to you that I wasn't doing anything behind your back! I am still a virgin I haven't done anything!" Ichigo slammed his fist on the desk and glared at Jenna. "Listen to yourself Jenna! You are not making any sense if you can't tell me the truth then…then…" He rubbed his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. "…then what…Ichigo…" Tears started to form in her eyes. "I think we need some time apart." Jenna sat down slowly on the bed and she processed this. "I…I don't understand. Why don't you believe me…?" Ichigo looked down at her and frowned. "You are telling me that you got pregnant without having slept with someone, you didn't trust me enough to tell me in the first place, and you have been lying to me for weeks about this!…How can I even trust what you are saying when it makes no sense…" He watched as Jenna tried to stop the flow of her tears. He walked up to her and grabbed her hand. "Look…if you tell me the truth then maybe we can go work something out. All you have to do is tell me the truth." He squeezed her hand and she looked up at him. "…but I am telling the truth. I am." He looked into her eyes and she looked back into his. He then let go of her hand. "I'm sorry Jenna…I don't think we should be together for a while until you decide to tell me the truth." "Ichigo please…I am sorry that I lied to you but…I didn't know how to tell you. I didn't want you to leave me…please you have got to believe me. Rukia said…" Ichigo turned to her with anger in his eyes. "So you tell Rukia about this and not me! Haven't these two years meant anything to you! I thought…I thought that you would be able to trust me especially about something like this." Jenna walked up to Ichigo and tried to hug him or grab his hand but he backed away. "Jenna…I'm sorry but you need to leave. I have to think about some things…" Jenna felt her heart shattered as she watched Ichigo open the door. She hesitated but she slowly walked out and down the stairs. She heard his footsteps behind her as she walked to the front door. "Oh Jenna you don't look to good. I know Ryuken is your personal doctor but I can give you a quick check up if you want. Jenna smiled and was about to replay but Ichigo stopped her. "She is fine dad she has to get going and doesn't have time." "Hum…" Ichigo's dad studied both of their faces and narrowed his eyes. "Alright, then Jenna if aren't feeling well you are always welcomed here." Jenna nodded and opened the door. Ichigo walked out with her. "Ichigo…I'm sorry if I hurt you in anyway but…" "Save it Jenna just go home." Jenna watched as he turned away and walked back in the house.

Jenna slowly walked down the sidewalk back to her home. It was already dark and it was getting chilly. It didn't help much that the tears refused to stop and that her heart felt like it was tearing itself to pieces. "Why wouldn't he believe me? What can I do to show him that I am not lying?" Suddenly it hit her. That paper that Mr. Ishida gave her weeks ago. If she showed it to Ichigo that should be enough proof right? Without a second thought she started to race home. "If I show Ichigo he will believe me." She was a few minutes from her house before she started to get a horrible headache. She stopped and rubbed her head. The throbbing pain was getting worse and when she tried to keep walking everything started to get blurry. Then a loud voice started calling her. It was so loud.

-Jenna…don't cry Jenna I can end it all for you

Jenna come here I will protect you

-I will end your suffering

I wont let anything happen to you Jenna

-Walk into the street Jenna, follow my voice

You are precious to me

Jenna…Jenna…Jenna…Jenna

"Stop…Stop! It hurts! Please no more!" Jenna dropped to the ground in pain as the voices continue to overload in her mind. "Please Stop it hurts…Someone please help…" The pain started to overcome her as she felt blood dripping down her forehead.

Jenna!

"Shut up! Leave me alone please!" Jenna got up and started to run. She ran passed her house and out of the town and into the woods. The voices only seem to get louder. She then tripped over some branches and rolled down a hill. The voices stopped as she laid there still. "I…Ichigo…Please help me…Ichigo." Jenna cried as she outstretched her hand to nothing. Her vision started to fade and just when her hand was about to drop someone grabbed it. She looked up to see a figure looking down on her. "I…Ichigo…" The figure chuckled. "My my are you so out of it that you compare my good looks to Ichigo's?" Jenna felt herself being picked up and carried. "Who are you?" She asked trying her best to keep her eyes open. The figured smiled again. "I have been watching you Jenna…don't worry we will keep you safe." It was the last thing Jenna heard before she blacked out.

The next morning Ichigo was woke up back a loud bang. He fell out his bed and looked up to see Rukia and Renji out of breath. Ichigo rubbed his head. "What is your deal don't you know that people are sleeping here!" He said irritated. "Ichigo we *pant* have a problem *pant* it's about Jenna." Renji said. Ichigo frowned and sat on his bed. "I already know that she is pregnant." Renji and Rukia looked at each other then back at Ichigo. "Ichigo…where is Jenna" Renji said walking up to him. "I sent her home I needed some time to think." "So you didn't realize it…" Renji said in anger. "Realize what." Suddenly Renji grabbed Ichigo and punched him in the face, sending him flying on his bed. "What the hell! What was that for!?" Ichigo yelled. "You idiot! How could you not realize that Jenna has disappeared!?" Ichigo eyes widen as another fist connect with his face.
