Ichigo laid on his bed sighing, It was night time but his mind kept him awake for some reason. Suddenly this large black portal opened up into his room. Standing up Ichigo managed to catch the figure that fell out of it before it closed back up. Turning on his lights Ichigo froze staring at the figure in his arms. There, wrapped in just a blanket laid battered form of Ryia Arashi. "Hey...are you ok? Ryia!" He asked the unconscious girl. Picking her up Ichigo ran out of his room and down stairs. "DAD!" Ichigo yelled catching the attention of the older male as he watched tv with his two daughters. Isshin Kurosaki's eyes landed on the girl in his son's arms.

An hour later Ryia laid on a bed still out cold. "What happened to her dad?" Ichigo asked frowning. "I can't say for sure but, she's about 7 months pregnant and was severely beaten by someone. "It wasn't a hollow was it?" Ichigo asked only for his dad to shake his head. "She was chained up then beaten." Isshin told him as he took out his phone and called someone.

Back in the Soul Society Kit sighed at the paperwork on her desk. She hasn't seen Toshiro around in days which was worrying her. Suddenly she felt a vibration in her pocket. Pulling out her phone Kit looked at the ID. "Why is he calling me?" Kit asked seeing Isshin's number pop up. "Yes Captain Kurosaki?" Kit asked as she pinned the phone between her ear and shoulder. "Kit, We have her, she's unconscious, but she's safe now." Isshin told her making Kit freeze. "Kit? did you hear me? I said we have Ryia here…" Isshin said again. "Y-yea, I heard you, I'll be right there!" Kit yelled as she closed her phone and ran out of the office and past Toshiro.

Kit looked at her friend frowning. "How bad was it?" Kit asked as Isshin sighed. "Pretty bad, I'm surprised she managed to escape at all and remain conscious." Isshin told her. Ryia laid before Kit all bandaged up, they had managed to clean the dried blood and foreign liquid off of her. "Thanks Captain, I appreciate you doing this." Kit told him as she gently picked the girl up. "Don't worry about it, just make sure she stays safe." He told her as he opened a Syukymon for Kit. Running through the gate Kit went directly for the 4th division. Once there Kit bursted into the room containing Unohana and Isane. "Help, her...please." Kit panting holding Ryia close to her.

Kit sat out in the hall sighing. Unohana had told her that thanks to Isshin's quick thinking Ryia was stable for the time being but the beating Aizen gave her left it's mark on her if not physically, mentally. "KIT!" Toshiro yelled running up to her. Standing Kit looked as her brother ran towards her. "I just heard, how is she?" He asked. "Last I knew she was still unconscious but stable. Bastard beat her real good this time though." Kit said as her brother rushed into the room. There laying hooked up to several pieces of medical equipment laid Ryia. Every part of her except her stomach and face was covered by either bandages or the blanket. "Ryia…" He whispered looking at the girl. This was his fault, if he hadn't let Momo kiss him that night then they would probably all be in his office right now happily. Sinking into the empty chair beside the bed Toshiro stared at Ryia's face, even after Isshin cleaned it up she was hardly recognizable under the bruises and cuts that littered her face. "I'm sorry Ryia, this is all my fault." Toshiro whispered.

Toshiro sat beside Ryia for days. Each day Kit grew more and more worried about her friend and brother. "Toshiro, you need to get some sleep.." Kit told him one night. "I'm fine, you go on ahead, I want to be here when she wakes up." Toshiro told her. Kit only nodded and left it at that as she walked out of the room. Him being here for her was all the confirmation she needed, her brother truly did love Ryia. Later that night Ryia groaned waking up. Looking around she saw nothing but a dark room and started panicking. "Ryia, Ryia, it's alright, you're safe…" Toshiro's voice suddenly spoke as the lights came on. "Toshi?" Ryia asked weakly as she looked up at the white-haired captain. "It's me." He told her smiling a bit as he felt Ryia curl into him a bit crying. Gently holding her the captain looked down at the now heavily pregnant woman. She was safe, right next to him where she belonged.

2 weeks later Ryia laid on the office couch as Kit did her paperwork and Toshiro was at a meeting. Ryia bruises were starting to fade and the cuts healing. "Kit, have you told Toshiro yet?" Ryia suddenly asked making Kit stop her paperwork. "Um…." Kit sweatdropped. "You know you need to, you can't hide the fact forever…" Ryia told her. "I just don't want to die…" Kit said as she placed her head on the desk. "He won't kill you, maybe yell at you but that's it…" Ryia said frowning at her friend. "Pretty sure he's going to kill me." Kit told her. "If you don't tell him I will." Ryia threatened making the demon look up at her. "You wouldn't…" She glared. "Oh I will….I'll tell him all about it." Ryia smirked. "Tell me about what?" Toshiro asked walking into the office. "Oh, just Kit's little secret." Ryia smirked at the demon. Toshiro looked over at his sister slightly confused. "Kit? is there something you want to tell me?" He asked looking at the demon.

Kit glared at her friend as she just shrugged. "Better now than never Kit." Ryia said. The demon looked back at her brother who was obviously getting pissed at the whole conversation. "Um...well….I…..I'm….pregnant…." Kit said softly as Ryia could have sworn Toshiro's eye turned red for a minute. "YOU'RE WHAT!?" He yelled causing both girls to cover their ears as the door started freezing shut. "Care to repeat what you just said Kit?" Toshiro asked looking at the demon. "I-I-I-I'm…..pregnant…" Kit repeated hiding under her desk as the room started freezing. "Toshiro….." Ryia said as she wrapped the blanket on her lap fully around her.

Before long there was several shouts at the door as the squad members tried opening the frozen door without success. Suddenly the door opened as several Captains walked in to find the Captain and Lieutenant at war with each other while Ryia sat on the couch clutching her blanket shivering. "WIll you two knock it off!" Ryia yelled frowning as Toshiro glared at his sister. "Who raped you?" He asked frowning. "No one raped me! If you would just calm down I'll explain!" Kit yelled as the Fire and Ice dragon clashed again. "ENOUGH!" Yamamoto's voice suddenly yelled catching both's attention. "Both of you seeth your zanpakuto's immediately!" The Captain Commander ordered as Unohana and Jushiro went to check on the frozen pregnant woman on the couch as she suddenly screamed out in pain. Toshiro turned as he seethed his zanpakuto to find Ryia on her side holding her stomach in pain. "Ryia…" He whispered as he watched Kenpachi pick the girl up and follow the other two Captains out of the room.

"I have to say I'm disappointed in both of you. Because of your actions you caused Miss. Arashi to go into early labor!" Yamamoto yelled at Toshiro and Kit. "We really didn't mean to Head Captain, but someone wouldn't just stop and let me explain." Kit told him as she glared at Toshiro. "How did you expect me to react to finding out my sister is pregnant with that bastards child?!" Toshiro yelled. "It's not his!" Kit yelled back silencing the male. "Then who's is it?" Toshiro asked looking at her as she looked down. "Grimmjow…" She muttered low enough Toshiro and Yamamoto couldn't heard her. "What was that?" Toshiro demanded frowning. "I SAID IT"S GRIMMJOW!" Kit yelled blushing. The two captain stared at the girl who stood there blushing madly as a loud scream pierced the building. Looking towards the squad 4 barracks Toshiro listened as screaming stopped. "Go to her Captain Hitsugaya." Yamamoto said and the captain took off.

Outside the door Toshiro listened as Ryia cried in pain. He was the cause of this, he over reacted and stressed Ryia out to the point she went into labor. "TOSHIRO GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" Ryia yelled in pain causing the male to look up. Opening the door Toshiro looked at the sweating girl on the table. Looking over Ryia smiled weakly at him as another contraction hit her causing her to scream in pain. Toshiro walked over to the girl. "I'm sorry Ryia…" He whispered looking down at her. "Just remember, if you do this to me I'll cut it off and shove it down your throat!" Ryia yelled grabbing Toshiro's robes. Toshiro nodded quickly as Ryia hit another contraction. Looking up at Unohana, Toshiro frowned at the concerned look on her face. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Neither baby is in the position to come out, if they don't move soon we're going to have to take them." Unohana said softly. "GODDAMN IT!" Ryia yelled crying.

Ryia laid on the bed for another 2 hours before they kicked Toshiro out to perform a c-section on the girl. Sitting out in the hall Toshiro listened as Ryia continued to cry at the now numb constant pain. "What's going on?" Kit asked walking up with Renji. During Ryia's absence from the Soul Society Renji had asked Kit out and was now around here every chance he got. Toshiro, while he was depressed about Ryia's absence allowed it. "They have to take the babies, Unohana said they wasn't in the right position to come out." Toshiro said still looking down. Kit frowned and leaned against Renji who started blushing. Before long there was two loud cries causing kit to cover her ears. A few minutes later Isane opened the door. "You can come in now." She said smiling. Toshiro jumped up and went to Ryia's side to find her laying there covered in sweat. "Oh hey Yoshi….when'd you get here?" Ryia slurred looking up at the male. "She's going to be like that until the anesthesia wears off." Unohana said from her position over a table.

Kit walked over next to Unohana and smiled down at the twins who laid on the table fussing. "They're so cute!" She said happily as Unohana swaddled them in a blanket before taking them over to Ryia and Toshiro. "Here's your daughter and son Ryia." Unohana said as she placed the twins in Ryia's arms. Ryia looked down at them. the girl had brown hair while the boy had Ryia's jet black. Toshiro smiled softly and looked at Ryia who was focused on the twins. Even though she just had two children from the person she hated the most she still smiled at them. He knew that deep down Ryia was still that hyper, kind-hearted spirit he somehow fell in love with. Someday….someday maybe she would bear his child, a proof of their love for each other. "So have you thought of any names?" Unohana asked looking over a clip-board. "The boy's Yudai and the girls Yuuki." Ryia said softly as Toshiro wrapped an around around Ryia's shoulder. "They're perfect." He told her as he full on kissed her ignoring the stares they was receiving from the other to woman and male. Why should he care, he had the most important being back in his life.

"Alright, let's let Ryia rest for a bit shall we?" Unohana finally spoke smiling as Toshiro laid the twins in the bassinets. "Toshi….can you stay?" Ryia asked grabbing his hand as he passed her. Ever since her escape Ryia had been scared to sleep alone. Toshiro remembered the first time he had left to get started on paperwork, he no more got to his office before he heard a frantic scream coming from his room. Running back down with Kit on his heels they found the bed completely empty and a quivering figure in the corner. Since then if Toshiro awoke before Ryia he would just lay there until she woke up. "Of course." He said softly as he sat the chair beside her bed as she dozed off. He didn't know what Aizen did to her but if it left Ryia afraid of sleeping alone he knew it couldn't have been good.

Ryia slowly closed her eyes, she was grateful to Toshiro. Even after all she put him through he didn't abandon her. The whole time during her return Toshiro focused on making her comfortable and happy. Then that night flashed across her mind, did Toshiro really have a part in that? or was it all Momo's fault? She'd have to ask him when she woke up.

~Dream~

Ryia ran down the long hallways, why was she back here…..why was she back in Hueco Mundo? She was just in the Soul Society. "If you really think running is going to save you you're horribly mistaken Ryia." An all too familiar voice spoke causing her to run faster until she stopped at a dead end. Turning around Ryia backed away from the approaching figure. "My dear little Ryia, do you honestly think you can escape me? I've told you before, you are mind, you always have been and will be mine." Aizen purred as his face became visible to her. "Fuck off, Why can't you understand I want nothing more to do with you?" Ryia asked frowning only to receive a chuckle from the taller male as he grabbed her. "You have no right to deny me, or are you wanting your little soul society friends to die?" He asked in her ear causing her to freeze.

Aizen smirked at terrified girl. "You will be at my side once again, and once you are, your little friends will all be dead." He told her chuckling grabbing her chin. "I'll come for you soon, my little innocent flower." He said as his figure disappeared into the darkness.

~End Dream~

Ryia shoot up in bed screaming waking Toshiro up. "Ryia!" He yelled looking at the girl as she started to visibly shake in fear. Sitting on the edge of the bed Toshiro pulled her into his arms as Unohana and Isane ran into the room. Ryia sobbed into Toshiro's chest, she can't take it anymore, why was this happening to her…..why did she have to be so special to him? The questions kept running through her mind as Toshiro rocked her in his lap. Toshiro, Yuuki, Yudai, Kit, Renji….everyone, they could all be dead because she was alive. Everything was her fault, because she was even born here, born with powers to control the shadows, she risked everyone's lives. "You don't have to be scared, we're going to protect you Ryia, I'll protect you." She heard Toshiro said softly. After everything she put him through, he still wanted to be with her. "Why...why are you doing this? you'll all get killed…" Ryia sobbed. "Because you're one of us, and we protect our own." Another familiar voice said. Looking up Ryia saw Jushiro standing there in front of her holding Yuuki.

"Regardless of what you think, you're family here, and we're going to protect you and the children." Jushiro continued handing Ryia the baby. "Remember what I told you after the winter showdown?" Jushiro asked. Ryia looked up at him. "That even though someone might have done wrong to someone they love, they're still family, and will be protected from the greater evil." Jushiro reminded her. Ryia sat in Toshiro's lap staring down at her sleeping daughter. "Thanks everyone….." She said softly looking at Yuuki's face as Toshiro nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck. "There's no need to say that." He whispered softly. "You're here and this is where you're going to stay." He continued
