So, here we are with a new chapter and I did promise you guys something special, so here we go!

XXXXXXXXXX

We now come to the present and find Ichigo, Tier, Sung-sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose all resting on top of there home, enjoying the peace. Ichigo and the girls were all next to each other cuddling, while Apacci was about ten feet away. Tier still hasn't confronted Apacci about her theory, but still has it in the forefront of her mind. Ichigo told them what a grabboid was and to say they were curious about this creature he saw on a box that played images on it, was an understatement.

Right now, Ichigo has Tier in his lap, Sung-sun is behind him with her head on his left leg and he has his tail wrapped around her, Mila is on his right and is just enjoying his warmth as she leaves no space between there body's.

Tier then decides to try something. "Apacci." This gets everyone's attention. "Yes Ms Harribel?" She asks with respect and kindness. "Can you come here please?" Tier asks and Apacci doesn't miss a heartbeat, once in front of Tier and the others. "Would it be okay to ask you to lay down and put your head in my lap?" Tier asks with a kind and questioning voice and eyes.

If you could see it, Apacci would have a bright red face right now. "Um, o-of course Ms Harribel." Apacci then started to lay down and rested her head on Tiers lap. They were all being silent and Apacci was getting nervous, Tier then raised her left hand and started caressing Apaccis head and horns. Apacci made a whisper of a gasp and stiffened but after a few seconds she started to relax.

This got Ichigo to nuzzle Tiers head with his chin and sniff and massage her hair, this made Tier close her eyes and let out a relaxed sigh.

A mile away.

A man with a white haori, glasses, and brown hair was in front of a massive being that easily stood twenty feet and had greenish brown fur, looked like a gorilla but had long tusks, and had a tiki like mask. "Remember, if you complete this task you can have what you don't kill and I shall give you more power than you can ever imagine." The man in white reminded.

"Hmph, this will be easy and his woman don't look to bad either hahahaha." The giant ape like man stated with a disgusting laugh. The man in white just kept his visage blank. 'This will be the final test, if you pass…' The man grinned thinking about all the possibility's. "I'll be waiting." With that, the man in white vanished and the giant began his walk.

Back with the others.

Apacci was now sleeping peacefully with her head resting on Tiers lap, Mila and Sung-sun had also dozed off leaving Tier and Ichigo awake and alone. "Tia." Ichigo whispered to her. She opened her eyes and looked up to see his face. "Yes?" She asked very relaxed.

Ichigo then started showing signs of fidgeting as he was avoiding eye contact and looking around. "Ichigo, what is it?" She asked with confusion. Ichigo then stopped and looked down. "Do-Do you mind if I ask, how you died?" He asked in a hushed tone. This made Tier look down and have a blurred vision, seemingly in deep thought.

Ichigo thought he asked the wrong question and started nuzzling her with his cheeks, this got the desired effect as she came out of her deep thoughts and lightly chuckled and smiled under her mask. "Hey, don't worry, alright. You did nothing wrong, it's just...I really don't like to talk about my last few moment as they weren't pleasing in any manner." Tier reassured as she was now holding his left hand with hers.

"There was a time when I wished I could remember what it was like to live, only so I can experience what it was like for my last moments." He stated but then continued. "Now, I couldn't care less, because I have my reasons for living right here. All of you." This made Tier look at him with a look of love, if there was one, and she buried her head into his chest with a content sigh. Unknown to them both, Apacci was awake and couldn't help but feel happy knowing how important she is to him.

Ichigo all of a sudden jerked his head to three O'clock with a snap, this made everyone open there eyes. Ichigo then gently and quickly removed himself from his mates and walked to the edge. Everyone was on high alert now and followed his lead to the edge, they all could see a massive being, about a block away, walking towards them.

Ichigo then looked at them and said. "Let's go!" with that they all left and went to confront the being purposefully invading there territory.

When they landed ten feet away from the massive giant he immediately stopped. "You are invading on our territory! Leave now and we won't have to kill you!" Ichigo growled out, not the least bit intimidated.

"Ha! So you're the new big shot I've been hearing about!? You were even able to tame the female team eh? Mmmmm, not bad I-".

(RAH!Grrrrrrrrrrrrr)

Ichigo then started to growl in a deep tone that none of the girls had heard before. "Leave! NOW!" Ichigo demanded one last time.

The giant being smiled evilly under his mask. "Wait a minute? That hair, I remember it from someplace" This caused Ichigo to stop. "Ahh! Now I remember! You're the young-ling that I was trying to lure in on that one rainy day." The massive beast started to summarize and made Ichigo focus on his story.

"Yes! Yes it's all coming back to me now! You were nearly in my grasp but you were saved by your mother and I instead devoured her! HAHAHA! Oh what a chance is this for me!? I still devour you and then I take your mates, HAHAHAHA! Here, let me show you her face before I devour you!" The being finished with his back opening and a tentacle came out and it turned into…

Ichigos anger was rising to it's limit and was about to attack, but stopped when the tentacle turned into a certain someone. If you could see his eyes they would be large and wide because of who he was seeing right now, his mouth was open and he was making odd noises.

Tier and the girls listened to the entire confrontation and were speechless at what was said, but the thing that made them pause in shock was Ichigos reaction to the face being shown to him.

He was crying.

"M-M-Mom...mom?" The face then turned into a saddened one and was actually crying as well. "My Ichigo." After he heard her voice he was assaulted by memories.

"No, don't do it!"

"ICHIGO!"

"Hang on! I'll save you!"

"STOP!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

"mommy? Mommy? MOOOOM?!"

Ichigo had tears streaming down his mask and was clenching his fists so tight he was bleeding.

Tier, Mila, Sung-sun, and even Apacci were all looking at Ichigo with sadness and then looked to The Giant with a rage they haven't felt since that Hammerhead guy.

"Ichigo, my little hero, remember mommy will always love you. No matter what, I will always be proud of you, Ichigo, my little strawberry. My protector." Then there was a flash and everyone became blinded and the energy that was inside the tentacle went into Ichigos hole and disappeared.

"Hmph, that was weird, heh, but it was worth it to see how pathetic you looked! HAHAHA." During the distraction, the giant then used the tentacle and slammed it into Ichigo, sending him flying and then the giant shot a Cero at him and made Ichigo slam into their home and with an explosion made the place collapse.

"ICHIGO!" The girls shouted as they watched him get blown away with little effort, the giant then turned his attention onto them and licked his lips. "Mmmmm, let's see how you taste after I've b-"

(VROOOOOOOOOOOOO)

This river of power then fell on the giant and made him stop his victory speech and widen his eyes.

(HuuuuuuRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH)

Ichigo inhaled deeply and then roared to the heavens, every hollow in Hueco Mundo could have sworn they heard this.

Ichigo then moved at incredible speeds and slammed into the giants head while also ripping out chunks of flesh and bone with his claws and took a huge bite out of his forehead. The giant screamed in pain and then took a defensive stance. "Holly shit!" Thought the giant.

Ichigo then rushed in again and used his great speed to take giant chunks out of the beings tendons' in his feet and then he jumped and swung his claws at the giants face, effectively removing the top half of it's mask, his tail then went for the giants' eye and went into the socket blinding him on the right.

Ichigo then retreated back to his mates breathing heavily. "Ichigo?" Tier questioned. "Together!" After that word they all rushed the screaming giant. Sung-sun spat her venom in his face, Mila slashed out his stomach, the wound was so deep you could see inside. Apacci rammed him from behind and channeled her energy into a slicing Cero that sliced his back open, Tier then punctured his right lung with her giant spear like weapon.

The giant was now coughing up blood and was in so much pain and blinded. "This can't be happening! I was told you wer-" He was cut off by Ichigo ramming him to the ground and was now standing over his face. With a final roar, Ichigo swung his fist down into the giants head, effectively crushing it in the final blow.

The girls watched Ichigo deliver the final strike and were completely amazed at his power, but they noticed his body was shaking and he was drooling like mad, the drool was steaming and melting the flesh it dripped on. "Ichigo are you-" Sung-suns' words died in her throat as he turned around with a hunger in his black eyes that made her and the others actually fear him, but only for a second.

Ichigos' tail then started to get large and morph into something with large flat teeth, and the color was now grey. the tail then began to consume the giants body in giant mouthfuls, each chunk took out human sized pieces. After five minutes of hearing the chomping and ripping of bones and teethe, he was done, the only thing that remained was a giant arm. His tail then changed back to normal and the shaking stopped, he then fell to his knees and caught himself with his arms.

Tier and the others hurried over to him and were about to ask if he was alright but didn't get the chance as he put his head at Tiers feet and was again making noises that sounded like held in gasps and screams. Hers and the other twos hearts' started having this feeling they haven't felt for a long time.

Mila then lowered herself and nuzzled her left cheek on his head and licked his left cheek trying to console him. Sung-sun then wrapped her tail around his waist and was gliding her head against his as she was hissing but in a gentle manner. Tia then knelt down and rested his head onto her chest as she started caressing his hair with her left hand.

Apacci watched the others console him from three feet away and could only focus on the feeling she was having when she saw Ichigos' emotions come out so suddenly, for some reason her legs moved on there own as she was now standing behind Tia.

Tia looked behind to see Apacci and saw her looking at Ichigo and this made her scoot to the left towards Mila, Apacci then walked up to Ichigo and knelt down and to the surprise of everyone, started nuzzling his head with her nose.

After ten minutes on consoling, Ichigo finally calmed down, when he looked up he was greeted with four pairs of eyes all looking at him with worry, but the one pair he focused on was Apaccis'. She was looking at him and saw his gaze lingering on her and she was getting a bit annoyed, but before she could say anything he gently closed the distance and nuzzled her right cheek. "Thank you." He said in a soft and kind whisper.

Apacci was so caught off guard that she just stood up and looked at him with wide eyes, but after three seconds she composed herself. "D-Don't mention it, just don't get used to it or I'll kick your ass if you touch me again." She said, trying and failing to sound serious or intimidating.

This got Mila and Sung-sun to start laughing and made Tia have a smirk under her mask. "Awwwww, look at that Mila, our little Apacci finally opened up." Sung-sun said in a teasing way. "Haha, I swear I can see her cheeks getting more red by the second!" Mila joked with a nice laugh.

"Shut up you over grown moose! You too, you slimy worm!" Apacci yelled at them with heated words. Once those words left her mouth, it was an all out war with words against the three.

During the friendly bickering, Ichigo got up and was now standing on Tias' left with his hand holding hers, he was looking at the large arm he hadn't consumed. "Tia." This got her to look at him. "I'll explain everything to you and the others later tonight, I-I just need to think about a few things." Ichigo explained in a quiet voice.

Tia squeezed his hand with understanding. "I don't want you to tell us something you're not ready to speak about, but I do want you to know, we are here for you just as you are with us." Tia stated with conviction. Ichigo looked at her and was about to say something but saw a lone figure approaching them.

"Tia." Ichigo said with a firm voice, she looked in the direction he was and spotted what he did. "Mila, Apacci, Sung-sun!" This made the three stop their bickering and move close to her and Ichigo. All of them were watching the now identified male stop near the large arm and look at it and then them, he then started to walk towards them in a calm manner.

Once only five feet away the man stopped, the four Adjuchas and one Vasto Lorde were ready for anything. "Hello, my name is Sosuke Aizen and I apologize." The man finally spoke up with a very calm and smooth voice. "Apologize for what?" Ichigo asked with a hard tone.

"It seems two of the Adjuchas I gave power too, went off on their own and you five had to deal with them because they were so consumed in their own power, they did not heed my warning." Aizen explained with no emotions and kept his eyes on Ichigos'.

"Wait! That Hammerhead Vasto Lorde was your doing?! He almost killed me and my Fraccion!" Tia stated with anger in her voice. "As I said, I apologize for my mistakes and would like to offer you five something." Aizen offered them.

"We don't need anything from you Soul Reaper, just leave, and I advise you to not let another one of your mistakes trouble us again." Ichigo denied and warned in a cryptic and dark tone. Aizen was not intimidated by the warning and pushed his offer. "I understand, but I want you to know why I gave those two power. You see, I am a captain in the Soul Society and I am here without permission, the reason for this is because I want to bring peace to Hueco Mundo but if I choose to do this I will need all the help I can get and if I move forward with this plan, I will become a fugitive to the Soul Society." Aizen explained with a hint of passion in his voice.

This made Ichigo look at the others and they were all having a mental debate of what to do, Apacci was also included because Tia moved her left hand and placed it on Apaccis' neck. Aizen was watching with a critical eye. 'They seem to be able to have mental contact with one another, interesting.' Aizen concluded.

"What's your offer?" Tia asked. Aizen never left Ichigos' eyes as he answered. "My offer to you, is to come with me and help me and the other Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde, in bringing peace too Hueco Mundo. I will also give you power to help protect yourselves and each other, all I ask is for you to help me and I will promise you these things and more."

The group then had another mental conversation and were deciding on what to do, five long minutes latter. "We accept, but under three conditions." Ichigo answered and made Aizen smiled inwardly. "Name them." Aizen replied. "We want our own domain, we want to be left alone and we want to know what your entire plan is." Ichigo listed off their 'requests'.

"Done and I will explain to you what my plan is once we arrive at Las Noches." Aizen agreed to their terms. "Las Noches? Is that what you call your domain?" Sung-sun asked with curiosity. Again, without looking at her, only Ichigo, he answers. "Yes and it's more like a kingdom but once you see it, you can call it what ever you like."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Aizen strangely asked. This made the group look at each other and nod. "Yes." They said in sync. "Good, now we have a long journey ahead, so please excuse my rushing manner." Aizen said as he turned and started walking with a brisk pace back to Las Noches, but when he turned it hid the disturbing smile on his face.

Ichigo and the others started to follow but stopped and looked back at their home, wondering what they will do now, since their home is destroyed and if this is a trap then where will they live? Ichigo then looks to the giant arm and charges up a Cero and blasts the limb into nothing and then begins his walk with his three mates and friend.

They were all wondering what the future held for them, if this man was telling the truth.
