I do not any of the characters or the ideas created by Tite Kubo, however my OC and original storyline belong to me.

This is my first Bleach fic, so PLEASE REVIEW!

Waking from her white world of slumber, Delilah was truly confused at the past events which had taken place over the previous two days. Her mother had been horrifically murdered by menos grande, she had found herself having to fulfil the role of Delilah Ukitake and now regaining consciousness, she suddenly remembered how the white haired man had entered the chamber and disrupted her inner peace. Her heart sank considerably as she recalled how this man had introduced himself as her father and her head began to pound, as she remembered his name and his hair, and she was sure that he wasn't lying.

It was after a few minutes that she realised that the same man who had introduced himself as her father, was sitting beside her makeshift bed. She found it peculiar that her mattress had been made up on the floor but as she thought out it, the many lessons she had received from her mother and her teachers combined, it seemed to make sense. And thinking about her mother had suddenly made her feel extremely anxious and sorrowful and the emotions which had been trapped below the surface was beginning to boil, and her little mind found it difficult to adapt to all which had taken place.

Without the slightest hesitation, she shot up from the covers and her body began to feel weak. It seemed as if the world around her was starting to clash with everything she had thought would happen. And soon enough, her nighttime guardian had blinked as he had evidently seen that she had woken up in a frightful fit. His eyes were laced in concern but the warm smile she had seen him exhibiting the night before…She was sure that a new day had come from the sunlight blaring through the window to her left.

Not long after this, she noticed how the man who had identified himself as her father, had slowly began to approach her with his hands moving towards her ever so slightly. Her unsteady emotions had suddenly began to quiver once and her calm demeanour was breaking, and she was wondering how long it would take for her to completely lose control. And then she saw that the white haired man had nearly touched her but before he could do so, her breaths had become extremely laboured and her entire body began to shake violently.

But this did not stop Captain Ukitake from laying his hands onto her small form:

"There now…there's no need to be alarmed" his voice was incredibly soft and this only made it even worse for her to quell her burning emotions. And then she had lost all sense of self restraint, as she breathed almost as if she was choking and promptly large tears began to cascade from her cheeks. Accepting him was proving to be a difficult concept and before she realised it, he had clasped her into his slender arms and then her tears began full on sobs of utter frustration at not being able to deal with everything which was occurring…

…..

For the next half an hour, Delilah continued to sob and to shake more and more and she neither snuggled into her father's arms nor did she attempt to pull away. She had lost her mother to the terrible creatures who she was sure were something more then just your standard hollow. She was sure that she would have never come to the soul society, if she hadn't been knocked out by the young captain of the tenth division, then she would still problem be in limbo in the human world. And as she cried and cried and wondered if her secret companions would be able to fill the empty hole she felt as having lost the most important person of her life.

She had not taken much notice of the caressing hand of the head of the Ukitake clan on her back. But it was now doubt what was slowly calming down her aching heart and her pounding head. She had many thoughts of both lashing out at him and pulling closer to him. And after what seemed to be a never ending war, she had finally let herself go and swiftly Jūshirō began to cradle her completely into the depths of his arms.

…..

When his tiny child had broken down into heart wrenching sobs, Captain Ukitake had not hesitated in cradling her quaking body into his arms and keeping her there, to give her the opportunity to calm down and overcome her sorrow at having lost her mother. Even though the two of them had only spent one night together in intimacy, he was sure that this woman would have been an ideal mother. He remembered her beauty and her excellence in the healing arts and he was sure that he and his squad members would have never managed to return home had it not been for her assistance.

It as not soon after that her sobs ceased and he chose to speak to her with as soft a tone as possible, so to not frighten her or make her feel any less confused that she was already feeling like.

"There is no need for you to worry little one, I have brought you to my house, your new home"

The child's shaking had ceased and he could not help but grin to himself. He knew from sight that his daughter resembled him a great deal but with her aptitude of calming herself and listening to his words reminded her of her mother's silence and ability to listen with great intent.

"I am sorry that you and I have only had the chance to meet now, but I am sure that you will find that your life in the Seireitei will make a lot more sense then in the living world"

His daughter slowly pulled away and she gazed into his eyes, and he was so glad to finally see those unique indigo eyes that he had only ever seen with her mother. And then he saw her uncertain smile, and he sighed hoping that one day soon he would be able to hear her voice for himself.
