Gin had returned to Las Noches with Ichigo's newborn child in his arms. He had to admit, the little baby was cute, but Aizen would be disappointed when he heard about Ichigo's death from the child birth; after all he had a crush on the baby's mother. Gin bowed to Aizen when he arrived in the throne room.
"I see you returned with the child, Gin." Aizen said as he looked at the baby in Gin's arms. "Where's the baby's mother?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, Aizen-sama, but Ichigo died at child birth. When I arrived there, he was already dead." Gin lied.
For a moment, Aizen looked disappointed with the news of Ichigo's death. Even though they were both enemies, Aizen had always had a type of attraction for the orange haired Shinigami.
"So Aizen-sama, what are you going to do now that Masaki-chan is born?" Gin asked Aizen, curiosly.
"Masaki?" Aizen asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"Yeah, that was the name Ichigo-kun had chosen for her." Gin explained. "I heard him call her Masaki after his 5th month."
"Heh, Masaki is a too soft name for her. Gin, lie her down." Aizen ordered. "It's time to put the fruit of my project into action."
Gin saw a small orb in Aizen's hand. He recognized it right away, it was the Hokyogu.
"So, Aizen planned to use the Hokyogu." Thought Gin to himself.
Then, the little baby was trapped in a sphere as Aizen activated the orb's power. The baby's body started to stretch out. Her legs grew longer than her body, her hips widened and her chest started to enlarge. The baby's figure morphed into that of a model glass-like figure. Her orange hair grew longer. When the transformation was over, the sphere cracked open and a feminine figure lay down on the ground, naked with long bangs covering her face.
Slowly, the new female warrior opened her eyes to a face looking down at him. Slicked back brown hair and eyes with one strand falling in front of his eyes. He was smiling to her.
"Good to see you awake, Santine Roxas."
"Santine Roxas?" asked the girl.
Santine didn't move. She just looked at the man with a confused look
"That's right" the man said "My name is Aizen, I created you. You're not an Arrancar, either a Shinigami. You're a Deva, a natural hybrid between those two."
"A Deva? A natural hybrid between Arrancar and Shinigami?" she whispered. "The opposites…"
"You are barely a few minutes old but you understand the meaning of the opposites. No wonder since you're the balance of the power between them." Aizen said as he held out a hand "Take my hand Santine, enter this new world." Santine carefully grasped Aizen's hand, standing up with his help. "Halibel, take her to the changing room and give her a proper suit. As soon she's ready, we're going to the living world."
"Yes, Aizen-sama" said Halibel as she took Masaki…. no…. as she took Santine to give her a suit.

Santine found herself in a large room. She stood in the front of a mirror and she caught her reflection in it; Her long orange hair was now tied in a ponytail, two red stripe marks were on the left side of her face, cerulean eyes, she was wearing a black top with a open white jacket, mini white pants, high black boots and black cloves and there were twin swords around of her waist. She looked young around of 16 years, yet she was only a few hours old. Santine was still staring at her own reflection. Is that really herself? Santine didn't remember anything of her past, just a soft voice; a soft voice that sang to her.
"Remember the song." Two voices said in her mind
"Remember the song? What song?" whispered Santine. "All I remember is a soft voice. I have to find owner of that voice." Santine thought to herself.
Santine was finally ready. She and Halibel went back to the throne room where Aizen was waiting for them for the invasion of the living world. She hadn't noticed her twins swords had a faint aura around them.

Grimmjow was really having a bad evening. First, Ichigo went in labor in the worst time possible, and now he was arguing to the Quincy boy, who was blasting his arrows at him. It was the last time he saved his ass from any Espada.
"Hey boy, that's how you thank someone who just saved your ass?" Gimmjow asked as he avoided another spirit arrow.
"I don't care!" Ishida snapped, "I read the files in the folder. It had everything about this insane First-Born project. I will not forgive you for raping Kurosaki!"
Everybody but Mayuri and Nemu (Mayuri was busy reading the files about Aizen and Szayel's project and Nemu never shows any reaction anyway) gasped in horror when they heard Ishida say that the sixth Espada had raped Ichigo. Orihime didn't say anything as she looked down. Renji drew out his sword and pointed it at the Espada, with anger in his eyes.
"Give me one good reason why we should let you live." growled the red haired Shinigami.
"He was the one who took Ichigo back to my house." Urahara said to the group. "That might sound insane, but that big guy is in our side now."
"Whatever, I still don't trust him." Ishida snapped again.
"Grimmjow changed." Said a green haired Arrancar woman. "He made his choice, he chose his feelings for Ichigo and the child over his loyalty to Las Noches.
"And who are you?" the sixth Espada asked.
"Why, I am Nell, Gwimmy." Nell smiled to Grimmjow.
Grimmjow's jaw dropped. That big chested woman was Nell?! But she was just a squirt the last time he saw her and it was just a few hours ago! What the hell was going on there?
"Since everyone is here, I think it's better we return to my shop. Aizen still plans to have an invasion in the living world and I want Unohana-san here check on Ichigo. By now he must have given birth." Urahara said, as he took a device from his pocket. When he pushed the button, in a blink of an eye, they returned to Urahara's shop's property.
Everyone gasped in surprise when they saw the shop destroyed. Unohana and Isane rushed to the unconscious kids. Jinta had recovered his consciousness and he told them Gin was the one who attacked them. Suddenly they felt a strong spirit energy. They turned to the destroyed house as they say Yoruichi and Tessai using their energy to get out from the debris, holding Ichigo's body with them.
Yoruichi laid down Ichigo's body on the ground, apologizing to Urahara because they couldn't stop Gin from taking Ichigo's child. Grimmjow growled in anger as he clenched his hands into fists. Orihime summoned her flowers to heal Ichigo. Unohana was about to say the girl that was too late for him when Grimmjow stopped her. He explained Orihime's powers were special, because as Aizen had said, she could break god's laws.
A few minutes later, Ichigo's wounds and the opening from the cesarean closed and Ichigo's eyes snapped and gasping for air.
"Kurosaki-kun!" cried out Orihime as she summoned back her flowers. The girl kneeled beside him. "Are you alright?"
"I-Inoue?" whipered Ichigo, as he looked at the people around him. "Guys? You're really here?" Then Ichigo's eyes snapped as he quickly rose up in a sitting position and started looking around to find another one who should be there.
"Masaki! Where is Masaki? What happened?!" asked Ichigo in a panic as he grabbed Yoruichi's cloth. Yoruichi just turned her head and she looked at the ground.
"I am sorry Ichigo, Gin attacked us in surprise. He took your daughter."
Ichigo eyes widened in pure horror. That can't be happening to him. Not his little Masaki who was just a few hours old. The Shinigami substitute growled in anger and he tried to snap the collar out from his neck. He wanted his power back, and now!
"Ichigo…" whispered Urahara
"Take this thing off!" Ichigo snapped in anger "Take it off now! I want to go after those bastards and take my daughter back!"
Ichigo's eyes were showing pure anger and hate for his daughter's kidnapers. Ichigo would show them. There was one thing more dangerous than an Arrancar in an Espada level; the wrath of a furious mother.

Barrangan had just sent his four man Fraccíon to go to the four pillars of power to destroy the replica of Karakura town. Santine sweat dropped as she saw Liline beating Stark. Wasn't Stark supposed to be the Fraccíon's leader? The old man Barrangan, Halibel and their own Fraccion seemed to be ignoring this embarrassing scene.
Inside the barrier, Aizen was not worried. Not even a little bit. That barrier meant nothing to him. He wanted to see how well the top 3 Espada would take care of those members from the 13 squads, especially Santine, since she's the balance of the power between Arrancar and Shinigami.
"Hey Aizen-sama. Are you sure this is ok? Masaki,… I mean Santine-chan is only a few hours old." Gin asked Aizen.
Aizen just smirked before answering to Gin
"Don't worry Gin." Aizen said. "Unlike the Espada, Santine Roxas will not have any problem with them. She's the balance of power between Shinigami and Arrancar."
Santine looked a little nervous. She felt a big tension between both the sides. She wasn't sure if Aizen was wise to bring her there since she was only a few hours old and the top 3 espada were much older and much more experienced on the battle field than her. She felt a hand on her shoulder, it was Stark.
"Don't worry, kid. You will do just fine." Said Stark to Santine.
Meanwhile the Shinigami were waiting for the enemy to their first move; While Kira, Hisagi, Ayasegawa and Madarame were protecting the pillars, they would face Aizen and the Espada themselves. None of them were letting their guard down. Matsumoto blinked a few times as she looked at the orange haired girl with Stark. Her aura was somewhat similar to Kurosaki Ichigo's who disappeared months ago.
"Hey captain."
"What is it, Matsumoto?" asked Hitsugaya
"Don't you think that girl over there looks like Ichigo? Her aura is even similar to his." Matsumoto commented to her captain
Hitsugaya looked at the girl that Matsumoto had mentioned. Indeed she really looked like Ichigo in a way. Even her aura is similar to his. The young white haired captain wondered who that girl really was. He felt somehow aura of Shinigami and Arrancar at the same time from her.
"Kid!" Barrangan cried out as Santine looked at him very nervous. "You go ahead."
"What?! Why me?! I am just a rookie, a new born!" yelled Santine to the elder Arrancar. "Are you out of your mind, old geezer?!"
Hitsugaya blinked confused, her angry expression was even similar to Ichigo whenever he's mad as well as her angry attitude. What's going on here? Matsumoto even thought that Aizen had turned Ichigo into a girl or even having made a female clone, though neither of none those possibilities were his style. Then, he saw the old Arrancar glaring at her.
"You take my orders, brat. I want to see you how you fight. After all, our leader has a high expectation from you since he started that long project to create you."
Santine and the others Shinigami didn't understand what Barragan meant by Aizen's long project. Santine wasn't sure, but she had follow Barrangan orders since Aizen was still behind the firewall barrier. She drew out her twin swords zanpakatou like other Shinigami.
"Well, well, looks like we have a different Arrancar. She has twin swords like us, Junshiro-kun." Shunsui said, as he made one step forward.
"Shunsui, what are you…."
"I know she said she's a rookie, but that old geezer also mentioned she's Aizen's project." Shunsui explained. "From what I can see, she's the only Arrancar that has two zanpakatou. No doubt she's strong."
With that, Shunsui threw away his pink flowered kimono and his Chinese hat as he smiled at Santine. Santine looked him very confused like she didn't know what to do.
"I am Shunsui Kyouraku, captain of the 8th division. And what's you name little Arrancar?"
"Well, Aizen-sama calls me Santine Roxas. From what I know, I am not an Arrancar. Aizen-sama says I am a Deva; a type of balance of the opposite powers."
All the Shinigami looked at the girl. They didn't understand what she had meant by being the balance of the opposite powers. Then, Shunsui and Santine started to fight in high speed as their swords crushed each other.
Shunsui was surprised, for someone saying it's a new born and a rookie, that girl fights very well. Santine didn't understand how she was fighting so well, it was like the swords were guiding her. The Arrancars were surprised as well. They hadn't expected a child would fight so well against a Shinigami in the captain rank.
"You're not bad for someone who calls yourself a rookie. But we have to finish this off." Shunsui said, finally calling out the name of his zanpakatou.
Santine looked confused as the swords changed their form. She also saw there was something behind him. A shadow? She saw there was a human like figure behind the 8th division captain. Then, she also heard voices in her mind.
"Say our names!" said the first voice.
"You have to do it. It's the only way to find the owner of the song." said the second voice.
Santine knew what those voices were talking about. It was about a song that someone sang to her. She knew the owner of that voice was important to her and she had to live to find that person.
"Yes, I have to live to find to find that person." Whispered Santine
She raised both the swords up as she looked seriously to Shinigami. She would do anything to find the owner of that voice; the voice who sang a song to her. Even if that meant she had to kill them.
"ROAR TOGETHER!! YASHA!! SHURA!!"
0000
Meanwhile, away from the battle field, Ichigo and the others felt a strong spirit energy. It was like someone has released their zanpakatou's shikai power. Ichigo recognized that energy.
"Masaki…" he whispered, very worried.
0000
After saying their names, the call of power protruded as trails of smoke spewed out of the blades. The smoke swirled in wave-like patterns while encircling Santine's entire swords, changing them into another form.
The right sword had become black with a red gem on it, while the left sword had become pure white with a blue gem on it.
With a wave of the black sword, a gust was created, making the Shinigami use their arms to protect their faces. They didn't understand what she did because that attack didn't hurt them. Shinsui gasped in horror when he noticed his zantakatou had returned to their normal stages as he saw his blades were covered by a thin ice. Hitsugaya and the others drew out their own swords and they saw all their zanpakatou were covered by a thin ice. Hitsugaya tried to call Hyōrinmaru's power but nothing happened.
"It useless," said Santine to them, "I sealed the power of your zanpakatou."
After she had explained that, the Arrancar admired this type of power, and at the same time, the firewall that trapped Aizen, Gin and Tousen was gone, now that Yamamoto's power was sealed. Aizen smirked. He knew Santine was powerful, but he never expected this type of power. Indeed the power of the balance was handy.
With quick moves, Santine was beating them badly. Aizen came to Barragan and he looked at him.
"So, what do you think about the first born, Barrangan?" asked Aizen to the elder Espada.
"I am impressed, Aizen-sama. To think she has the power of sealing Shinigami's zanpakatou's power indeed is amazing." Said Barragan to Aizen. "Are you sure she's a few hours old?"
Though only relying on the swordsmanship, the Shingami group was losing badly to Santine after she sealed the power of their zanpakato. Even though she was beating hell out of them, Shura and Yasha; her twin zanpakato, kept telling her to remember the song. She was very confused why her own Zanpakatou kept on telling her this. She was about to give the final blow on Matsumoto when….
CLANK!
A giant blade blocked Santine's twin blades. Everybody's eyes widened in surprise when they saw Ichigo blocking Santine's attack. Aizen glared at Gin, who was sweating cold. He had sworn to his boss that he was dead when he arrived at Urahara's shop. The others arrived and were already to help their fallen comrades.
Santine jumped back to the Arrancar group. Ichigo's eyes widened in horror when he saw the girl amongst the Arrancars. The same blues eyes, the same orange hair, and the same birthmark.
"No… please…. Don't tell me that's Masaki?" his mind was denying that, but his heart knew that that girl is his daughter Masaki, stolen right after her birth.
Santine was looking at the man who blocked her attack. Who was he? Why did she feel he knew him somewhere?
"Ichigo, what's wrong?" asked Grimmjow, appearing beside Ichigo.
"That girl, I know it's Masaki."
Grimmjow's eyes widened in surprise. He looked at the girl. Except for the blue eyes and the birthmark, the girl really did look like a female version of Ichigo. Grimmjow theorized to Ichigo that Aizen might have used Hokyogu on her to make her grow up faster. That's how hollows could turn into Arrancars so fast.
"Well, well. Look who here. I never thought you would betray us, Grimmjow." Said Aizen. Grimmjow only glared at him.
"Heh, looks who's talking. You betrayed Soul Society, only to you turn yourself into god." Snapped Grimmjow as he drew out his sword.
"Kurosaki…." Hitsugaya called. "Be careful with that girl. She has a weird power; she can seal the zanpakato's power."
"If it's the case, you better leave now. You will be only in the way." Said Ichigo.
"Are you nuts, Ichigo?!" yelled Matsumoto. "You can't deal with them by yourself!"
"Who said he was by himself?" said a new voice.
Suddenly Shinji, Hyori and the other Vizards appeared on the battle field. Aizen had recognized his old captian from 100 years back. Shinji looked at Aizen with hate in his eyes. He had been waiting so long for a chance to get his revenge for everything Aizen had made them go through. He would get it right now. Nell, Yoruichi and Urahara, who were also there, they had joined to them in this fight.
(A/N: since my battle writing style really sucks, please, imagine how the big fight between the vizards vs arrancar would look like. If anyone wanna write a battle scene for me, I will be very thankful)
While the others took the wounded ones to somewhere else, Grimmjow and the Vizards would take care of the Arrancars, Urahara would take care of Aizen with Shinji's help while Yoruichi and Nell would deal with Gin and Tousen.
Ichigo was blocking Santine's each attack. He didn't want to hurt his daughter. Santine was having doubtful thoughts. Why was that Shinigami not attack her? Why was he only blocking her attacks. Ichigo didn't know why every time his daughter's twin blades crashed into Zangetsu, he could hear a voice telling him to remember the song. What song?
Then, she stopped attacking him when he heard a scream. Santine's eyes widen in horror when she saw Stark being defeated by one of the Vizards. She rushed back where Stark was, ignoring Ichigo calling her Masaki. But when Santine took Stark, she saw he was already dead. A fury stared to rise up as aura rose up as gusts started to blow. Stark was the only one who was cool and nice with her and now he was dead. Time to get vengeance.
"Bankai."
Everyone didn't unexpected that as Santine started to summon her Bankai form.
The swords were gone, now substituted with gauntlets in both her arms as armor spread across her body. Her clothes were now covered under these layers of strong, impenetrable armor. Her entire right arm was equipped black gauntlet with the red gem settled at the center of her right hand, while her entire left arm was equipped with a white gauntlet with the blue gem settled at the center of her left hand, which was equipped with sharp claws. Her shoulders became covered by large armored shoulder plating. Her bust was covered by bits of the armor. The armor covered her waist and hips entirely. Her legs were covered by long, high-heeled boots.
But the most dramatic change was her look. The right side of her hair has turned into a black raven color while the left side had turned into a white silver color. Cat ears, one black and one white sprouted from the sides of Santine's head. Two tails; the right one was black and the left one white, slashed the air behind the girl like some kind of whip. Santine now had a look of a wild feline. Her new Bankai form looked like an Arrancar in its released form.
Santine in her Bankai form growled at them. It seemed she couldn't recognize any of them as her friends or her enemies so she began to attack like a furious cornered predator. Just one wave of her white gauntlet made all the Arrancars, including the Espada returned to their original stage. Grimmjow's eyes widened in horror as he realized he wasn't in his Pantera released form anymore. He had no idea that his child had this power. The same thing was done with the black gauntlet, the blow of the power sealed all the Shinigami's zanpakatou. Now neither of the groups could use their own zanpakatou's power. Aizen's eyes widened in horror. That can't be happening to him! Before he even realized, Santine, with a quick move chopped off his limbs.
Ichigo's eyes widened in horror as he saw his daughter attacking everyone like a wild animal. He wanted to make her to stop that senseless violence and to see the once little angel he had held only for a few minutes after her birth.
"That's enough! Stop Masaki!" He approached closer, almost tripping over his feet but managed to continue running. "That's it! No more! You don't have to..."
WHAM!!
Like a gunshot fired, Santine lashed her right arm slapped Ichigo aside. The blow registered as Ichigo's head snapped back. Ichigo fell back and rolled across the ground.
"Ichigo!" yelled Urahara, Shinji, Nell and Grimmjow together.
Then, two blades came out of Santine's gauntlets. Ichigo coughed up blood as Santine jumped forward and stabbed Ichigo in the chest. Ichigo didn't do anything, just smiled as he hugged the girl. Santine, even in her wild stage, looked confused with Ichigo's actions. Even though he hurt badly, Ichigo could still speak, but in a whispered tone.
"I know you're confused, angry and frustrated, Masaki-chan." Said Ichigo as he was still coughing up the blood that filled his mouth.
He held her close as the blade dug deeper into his chest. "But I finally figured out how to make you feel better."
Then, Ichigo started to sing the same lullaby that he used to sing to calm down her when she was still in his womb.
Hush now, my baby
Be still love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember
My lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Santine…. No…. Masaki's eyes widen in surprise when she heard the lullaby song. That was the voice who sang that song for her. Tears were rolling down her face.
"Ma…Mama…" she whispered
Then the gems in Masaki's gauntlets glowed as both of them were filled with a bright light. Everybody was blinded by that light. When that light was gone, everybody was surprised in the sight before them; Ichigo's wounds were gone as he was standing up and holding a little baby in his arms. Ichigo smiled at his baby daughter in his arms.
"Thank you, Masaki." Whispered Ichigo happily
"That's impossible…." Growled Aizen laying down in the ground limbless as he saw his weapon had returned to baby form. "How….How could she force the …effects… Hokyogu … out of her body?!"
"There's something you will never understand Aizen." Said Urahara as he and Shinji stood before him. "The bound between a mother and child is stronger than you think, making miracles happen."
"I really don't understand what happened, but one thing I know Aizen, is that you lose." Said Shinji as he gave the final blow on Aizen, finally having his revenge on the one who caused so much pain to the others.
Aizen was dead now. The war between Arrancar and Shinigami was now over.
0000
The sun was setting, with the top 3 Espada and their Fraccion dead, Grimmjow , Nell and her brothers were the only ones left. They were in the park with Ichigo, holding Masaki. Rukia, Renji, Orihime , Chad and Ishida was also there.
"So, you really will return to Hueco Mundo?" Said Ichigo, holding Masaki in his arms.
"With Aizen dead, we have no reason to be here anymore, besides, we have to return and fix all the mess Aizen did to our world." Said Grimmjow as he patted Masaki's head. "Don't worry, I will come to visit you once in a while."
"Grimmjow…."
"After all, I need check on you once in a while since you're lost without me around." Said Grimmjow, smirking as Ichigo glared at him.
"Baka!" yelled Ichigo angrily, "I was helpless because of that damned collar sealing Zangetsu! You know that!" Then, Grimmjow kissed him in the lips to make him to shut up.
The others couldn't help but sweat drop. They still didn't understand what kind of relationship they had. Ishida asked to Orihime if they were always like that. Orihime simply said that Grimmjow always had a thing for Ichigo, but only now he finally opened up his feelings for him.
"Don't worry, Ichi-moma. We will visit once in a while. After all, Masaki-chan is my little sister." Said Nell, happily.
"So…." Started Pesche "If Masaki-chan is Nell's little sister… that makes her our little sister as well?"
"I think so. Ah, that means we can play eternal tag with her!" said Dondochakka happily.
Ichigo only glared at the two weird Arrancar.
"I want you stay away from my daughter!" he snapped.
Then, the Gargantua opened. Grimmjow, Nell and her brothers said goodbye to the others before returning to Hueco Mundo, their home world.

It was night time when Ichigo was in his room and was singing the same lullaby to put Masaki to sleep. After everything was over, Ichigo had finally told to his family about what happened while he was out. Ichigo was surprised when he learned his old man was in the fact a Shinigami all his time and he knew everything that went through as a Shinigami before he was taken to Las Noches. Though this surprised of finding his father was a Shinigami all this time, Isshin still acted like a fool around them. And he got more silly (when Ichigo thought it was impossible for his father get more silly) when he saw his granddaughter for his first time.
He got pretty emotional when he found out that Ichigo named her after her grandmother. Lucky for Ichigo, Isshin had still kept Yuzu and Karin's cradles when they were babies and Ichigo just needed one of them for Masaki. When Masaki finally fell as sleep, he placed her in the cradle and he smiled at her sleeping form.
"Good night, my little Masaki-chan." Ichigo whispered.
"You look happy, Ichigo." Said a familiar voice. Ichigo turned around and smiled when he saw Zangetsu in there.
"Sure I am." Said Ichigo. " She's now my treasure."
"I know," said Zangetsu. "Thanks to her, your inner world is brighter. The garden is still there."
"I see," said Ichigo. "That means I still might get pregnant"
"That wouldn't be a bad idea to give our little princess a little brother or sister. Don't ya agree, Queen?"
Ichigo growled as he saw Hichigo beside Zangetsu. Looks like after Makasi was born, her cats were not in his inner world anymore, which meant that Hichigo was back to torment him whenever he wanted.
"I don't plan to get pregnant again. Besides, stay away from my daughter, you pervert!"
"Like she can see me." Said Hichigo.
"Indeed, she can." Said two new voices.
Ichigo turned around and saw two cats beside Masaki's cradle. They were Masaki's zanpakatou's spirits Yasha and Shura. Ichigo didn't know who Yasha was and who was Shura, but he really didn't care now. He realized that they were not little kitties anymore, now both of them were in a tiger size and their voices changed as well; they weren't in chipmunk style anymore. Now their voices were deep and their faces didn't look childish, now they looked more elegant, like how big felines are.
"How do you think she can seal zanpakatou's power in first place?" asked the white cat.
"She has the especial ability to see the zanpakatou spirits from the other Shinigami." Said the black cat.
"Really?" asked Hichigo animatedly. "That's great! I can teach our little princess some important stuff like…"
Hichigo never had the chance to finish his phrase as Zangetsu and Ichigo punched him to make him shut up. Like hell they would let Hichigo teach Masaki something very perverted.
"One more thing Ichigo," started the white cat.
"This will be our last time we will see each other." Said the black cat.
"I see." Started Ichigo. "Now that she's born, you will be in her inner world for good, right?"
Both the cats nodded.
"That's right. It's time for us go to guide her until the day she accepts our power for good."
"Just like your day when you accepted Zangetsu's power." Said the black cat.
Before the cats vanished for good from Ichigo's life, they said to never forget the love he has for his daughter, because that's his supreme weapon. Ichigo nodded as the cats returned to Masaki's inner world. Ichigo wondered how her inner world looked like. He hoped it was not weird like his. Zangetsu and Hichigo had also returned to Ichigo's inner world (Zangetsu had to drag Hichigo with him to go back). Ichigo once more looked at his sleeping daughter. Yes, the future looked bright for her.
