In Hueco Mundo, Ichigo noticed that Shiro's spiritual pressure had drastically risen, to the point in where Ichigo was having slight breathing problems and Kon was knocked out cold. Shiro realized it himself as well, and tried to control the insane amount of power within.

"Shiro, where should we go now?", Ichigo asked as he broke the silence and stood by Shiro. Kon soon came back into consiousness then.

"Hey! Ichigo!", Kon yelled out, only to be ignored by the shinigami and the hollow. They were too worried about what they would do to care about the mod soul. They all then stayed in silence while they thought. Then, all three felt a strong spiritual pressure, and it was headed in their direction!

Karakura town, Morning of the next day

"Goo~d Morning~, I~CHIGO!", Isshin yelled out as he jumped into Ichigo's room. Normally he'd jump right into Ichigo's face but now he was being cautious because of his son's pregnancy.

"Ichigo~!", called out Isshin, only to receive no then got suspicious and looked under the blankets on the bed, only to discover that pillows had been placed there to look like his body. Isshin then realized that the hollow was missing too. 'This isn't right', he thought. He then knew what he had to do, and he had to do it before Yuzu and Karin would awaken.

Hueco Mundo, Random place which is nowhere near anywhere

Ichigo and Shiro looked for the spiritual pressure, Shiro ready for battle. As it got closer, neither of the two could feel it. Kon much less since he was entranced by it.

"My my...look what the cat dragged in... two stray kittens in need of a home..."

Shiro and Ichigo both looked behind their backs to see Aizen, clad in white as his 'Las Noches'. Shiro and Ichigo scoweled angrily with hate at the man.

"What the fuck do yah want with us?!", asked the hollow angrily, ready to fight if he hurt his strawberry. Aizen merely smirked and responded, "Capture them." Soon all three fell into a sea of darkness.

Soul Society, Captain Yamamoto's quarters

Yamamoto sat by the fire, warming his old, frail hands against the heat of the hearth. His zanpakuto, Ryujin Jacka, provided continuous warmth. Soon, a shinigami shunpo'd into his office and delivered some news to him.

"I'm afraid you were right. Ichigo and his hollow are no longer in the world of the living. They have betrayed us.", reported the shinigami in a hurt tone. It saddened him for an odd reason.

"Yet another reason for them to be executed, for being traitors! It may as well seem that your son may have acompanied Aizen this whole time.", Yamamoto theorized. He then turned around to see the former shinigami, Isshin Kurosaki, sad for the fact that he would have to kill his own son, and his only granchild, whom was innocent to the entire incident.

Hueco Mundo, Las Noches

Shiro hazily opened his eyes. He was lying on a bed and a big one at that. He looked around to see Ichigo sleeping next to him, clad in a white espada suit. It was similar to his bankai clothing, except that it had no sleeves, was loose in the center and had a ripped design on the neck, similar to the ends of the coat, white on top, black below. He was dressed the same and he noticed that Ichigo had a marking on his neck, written in a gothic style like print, ' 0 - 1 '. Shiro then lightly rubbed his finger over the marking, earning a small flich and groan of pain from his lover. He then realized that it was a marking of some sort, a mark of ownership. As he thought this,Aizen walked into the room they were staying in.

" I see the you have risen from your slumber.", Aizen said without any feeling what so ever. This pissed Shiro off a bit.

" You bastard, marking Ichigo as you're territory...I should kill you right here, right now for that."

"You'd best not if you know what's good for him.", Aizen said as he pointed towards Ichigo. "Every time you try to show resistance against me, he will suffer your mistakes. The mark on his neck not only symbolizes ownership, but it also acts a type of taser that'll shock his body, and who knows? Maybe the child will go along with him."

Shiro then sat there, wide-eyed at what he had just heard. "How do you know about our child", Shiro demanded. Aizen just looked at him, only to say the punishment also went vise-versa and that neither of them were alloud out of their room for the week. He soon left, leaving Shiro feeling helpless. Soon, Ichigo awoke to find Shiro laying on the floor, staring out the high window, looking at Hueco Mundo's everlasting moon.

"Shiro, where are we?", Ichigo asked as he looked around. Shiro got up, and explained the situation to Ichigo. He saw that Shiro was right, proof was Shiro's mark, engraved on his neck, ' 0 - 2 ' .

After about 2 days, both men were bored with just laying around, doing nothing. Shiro had tried to ecape, only to find out the walls were harder than the strongest material on earth.

"Ichigo, i'm bored. There's nothing to do. Not even the food is any good.", Shiro complained. Ichigo just stared at him, wishing he knew what to do. They had played every game possible without a gameboard, except for the 'Adult' games.

"Shiro, think we should resort to that?", Ichigo asked, slightly blushing and looking off into space.

"Well, it beats doing nothing.", Shiro said as he got up and headed over to Ichigo. "Let's do this, it'll be fun."
