Okay, I am glad everyone likes the story ad I know I messed up in the timeline, but I just felt like doing it and I had so many scenarios running through my head as I thought about this story and I just messed up the timeline. O_o oops… anyway, hope everyone likes the new chapter! ^^
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or Inuyasha, leave me alone about it.
Strangely enough, Ryuken did not have the test results as soon as he thought. He said the tests were either positive or negative, but it kept shifting. Kagome suspected it might have something to do with the baby being half demon, if there was a baby, not that she no longer doubted there was since she missed a monthly period.
It was Monday, a dreaded day in Kagome's opinion. Shippo was already in Elementary school thanks to Ryuken signing him up there, and she ended up meeting Ichigo's younger twin sisters. Shippo took an instant liking to Yuzu and made a powerful friendship with both twins in a matter of seconds. It was just part of his charm. Kagome only hoped his illusion didn't suddenly cancel out.
She was currently standing in the hallway, waiting for the teacher to invite her in to introduce herself to the class. She already heard quite a ruckus inside, sounding like it was mostly coming from one boy or from Ichigo and Renji. The door to the classroom opened and the teacher poked her head out. "You can come in," she said.
"Okay," Kagome replied as she entered the classroom after the teacher.
"Everyone, this is your new classmate," the teacher announced. "Be nice to her and I may spare you some homework during the year. Go ahead and introduce yourself."
Kagome gave the class a small bow. "Hello," she greeted. "My name is Higurashi Kagome. I just moved here from Tokyo to live with my uncle and cousin, even though a certain cousin doesn't live with said uncle." Uryu seemed to ignore the comment.
"Who are your uncle and cousin?" the teacher asked.
"Oh!" Kagome gasped. "My uncle's name is Ishida Ryuken, he's a doctor. My cousin is right there and thinks the desk is more interesting than all the boys staring at me with drool hanging from their mouths." Uryu glared at the male population of the classroom, making Kagome giggle. "Kidding, Uryu. Two words: Chill pill."
"Not funny," Uryu commented.
"Aw," Kagome pouted.
"Well since you're his cousin, why don't you sit next to him for now until you get comfortable here," the teacher suggested. "Better sit next to him than a delinquent."
Kagome noticed she was staring at Ichigo, who just looked out the window uncaringly. "Alright," she said, sitting in the recently vacant seat next to her cousin. The class passed without much excitement. The learning pace was steady enough for Kagome to understand and her notes were as flawless as Uryu's, though he took little. Lunch soon came around then she turned to look at the others that were gathering near Ichigo's desk. She stood before Uryu and went over as well.
"Ah, hello Kagome-chan!" Orihime greeted with a smile.
"Hi," Kagome said and smiled back before noticing the tomboyish girl next to Orihime.
She seemed to notice Kagome staring at her. "Nice to meet ya," she said. "Name's Tatsuki."
"Nice to meet you, Tatsuki," the miko replied before a bento box was in front of her face. Her eyes followed the hand down the arm and to the face of her cousin. "He told you I forgot my lunch, didn't you?"
"No," Uryu replied. "I just remembered that you always forgot your lunch when we were kids."
Kagome took the bento with a smirk. "Cheeky cousin I have," she commented. "But thank you for the thought."
"Not a problem," her cousin replied.
"So you adjusting to Karakura alright, Kagome-chan?" Orihime asked, sitting down on top of a desk.
"Yeah," Kagome replied with a small nod of her head. "Uryu's been making sure Shippo and I don't get lost, so he's showed us all these shortcuts to and from school as well as other places that would be important."
"That's good," Rukia commented as the young miko opened the bento Uryu gave her. "Though I hope you haven't been spending all your time with Uryu. Have you tried exploring on your own?"
"Shippo and I did look around by ourselves," Kagome replied. "Yesterday, actually. We went to the park for a little while. Uryu said he was busy with something for a while and would meet up with us later." She didn't mention that she saw something strange while at the part. It scared Shippo since he never seen a demon like it. A large gray beast with black swirl markings on its shoulder and back and a white mask for a face. "We actually met Karin there with some of her friends playing soccer. They kidnapped Shippo from me for a little while for their practice. He had fun."
"Oh, so your kid was the one that Karin wouldn't stop talking about," Ichigo commented. "Kept saying she met a red-head that was really good at soccer and had a kick that could rival hers. I doubted that, though. I felt her kicks before."
Kagome giggled before her phone started to ring. She pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. "I'll be right back, alright?" she told them as she got up and went into the hallway, her phone still ringing. Once in the hallway, she flipped open the phone. "Hello," she greeted.
"Kagome," her uncle's voice greeted back. "It seems that the blood tests finally decided to settle for an answer." She inhaled deeply, her hand already laying on her stomach. "I tried a mildly different approach and the results came back positive. I want you to come in later for an ultrasound. We may not see much, but it wouldn't hurt."
"I guess it wouldn't," she agreed. "Alright. Do you want me to come over after school?"
"Yes," Ryuken replied.
"Alright," she sighed as her hand went from her stomach to her forehead. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a lean blonde boy with wide lips staring her direction. The look in his eyes made him seem like he found her suspicious. "I'll see you later, Uncle."
"Very well," he said before both hung up.
Kagome stared at the blonde down the hallway and he stared back. "Do you have a staring problem or something?" she asked. He didn't reply other than a shake of his head then went into the classroom. "Weird-o."

"Why are we in the hospital, okaa-san?" Shippo asked, still in his human disguise and holding onto Kagome's hand.
"Because Uncle Ryuken wanted me to come in after school to make sure of something," she replied. "And we may get a peek at your future baby brother or sister, if there is one."
"There is," Shippo told her confidently. "Your scent changed a little bit. I smell something new on you, like a mixture of your scent and Grimmjow's."
Kagome smiled down at her adopted kit and removed her hand from his to pet the top of his hair gently. "Then I guess we do have something to really remember him," she said with a sad smile.
Shippo's little smile fell. "Don't get sad, mama," he said. "I don't like it when you get sad."
"I'm sorry," the miko sighed. "Come on. Let's hurry up so we can go to the candy store after this."
"Yeah!" Shippo exclaimed with a bright smile. "And I wanna explore the park some more after that!"
Kagome giggled. She was thinking of taking him to the park afterwards anyway. He needed to get rid of the extra energy he would get from all the candy he was bound to consume. She stopped a nurse in the hallway and asked her where Ryuken was before the nurse told her the way to his office then continued on. Many of the patients and nurses kept awing and cooing at Shippo, saying he was the cutest little boy they ever saw.
The two made it to Ryuken office to see him typing on his computer. He glanced up when the door closed and smirked at them. "I was on the phone with your mother, Kagome," he stated. "She shed a bit of light on this for me."
"What did she say?" Kagome asked as Shippo ran over to the couch and jumped onto it.
"She told me about your ex," Ryuken stated before his smirk fell away. "I am sorry that you had to see the cruelty of the world like that. She said that though she never met him before he was murdered, he did make you happy so I will only lecture you, but not pressure you into aborting or giving the baby up as soon as he or she is born."
"What's aborting?" Shippo asked, tilting his head to the side.
Kagome shook her head at him before Ryuken got up from his desk and went over to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I know you are still healing from his death," he said, gently squeezing Kagome's shoulder. "And I have a feeling it may be one of the reasons why your mother sent you here. But don't let your grief consume you. Not with Shippo and this little one to worry about."
"I know," she shakily sighed.
Ryuken nodded his head. "Let us go and do that ultrasound now," he suggested.
Shippo tilted his head again then ran over to Kagome, taking her hand once more as Ryuken led them to the room where the ultrasound machine was. "What's this do?" Shippo asked when they got to the room and saw the machine before he sat in the chair next to the bed Kagome laid down on.
"Lift up your shirt a little, Kagome," Ryuken instructed. Kagome did as she was told before Ryuken spread a gel over her stomach. She shivered. "Yes, I'm sure it's cold. As for your question, young man, this will allow us to see the child. It sent ultrasonic sounds through her and will come up with an image on this screen so we can see the baby. It will be small right now, but we will be able to see something."
"Sugoi," Shippo said in awe as Ryuken removed a small object from the machine that was attached by a curled cord. "Kind of like a bat!"
Ryuken nodded as he pressed down on the gelled spot of Kagome's stomach after turning the machine on and moved the device over the area. "It is very small, still in early development, but it is there," Ryuken stated, pointing to a small, white dot on the screen. "We'll be able to see it better in a few months and eventually, we'll be able to tell it's gender. Possibly around the sixth month."
"Okay," Kagome said as the machine was turned off before her uncle gave her a clean rag to remove the gel. "Well I'm gonna take Shippo to the park for a little bit," she stated once the gel was gone and she was off the table. "He's been wanting to go back for a while."
"Very well," her uncle sighed. "I'll fill our prescriptions for you and get you the vitamins you need for your pregnancy. We need to keep a close eye on you during this since you are still very young."
Kagome nodded before Ryuken waved his hand slightly. The teenaged miko took Shippo's hand and the two left the hospital, heading for the candy store first since she did promise her adopted son. After Shippo was happy with the amount of sweets he got from the store, they went straight to the park that was just around the corner. Though there was something strange happening. Many of the people they passed by suddenly fell to the ground and it appeared as though their souls were being sucked out of the bodies from a distance.
She didn't want to leave Shippo alone but she also didn't want to expose him to any danger. With a small sigh, she knelt down to Shippo and held onto his upper arms. She knew Shippo had been through a lot during his short life and can handle himself. She knew that if he felt that he couldn't, he would hide away somewhere safe. She had to trust that her son would listen to what his instincts tell him. "Shippo, I don't know what we are going to see, but you do as I say, understand? If I tell you to leave, then you leave. Do not ask questions. Understand?"
"But okaa-san," Shippo started.
Kagome shook her head. "I can handle myself," she assured him. "But I want you to stay safe. Alright?"
"Alright," Shippo muttered lowly. He wouldn't run, though, even if she told him to. She was his mother and he was going to have a baby brother or sister. He didn't care if he would get in trouble later on, he was going to try and keep his mother safe.
She grabbed his hand again and the two ran towards the center of the park, following the souls to the point where they were being swallowed by a large man with bumps on the top of his bald head (well, bald for the exception of the red ponytail that was at the back of his head and black sideburns on the side of his face) and dressed in white. There was also a bone lower-jaw attached to his chin and red markings under his eyes. He made a comment about the souls tasting terrible before they noticed a second person standing there.
He was much shorter and his skin was pasty white. His emerald eyes looked around briefly. There was one thin green line under each of his eyes, disappearing under his chin. On top of his black hair was something like a helmet, only it covered half of the top of his head and had a horn on it. He, too, was dressed in white but there was a black spot at the base of his neck.
"That looks like Ulquiorra!" Shippo exclaimed in a whisper.
"Yeah," Kagome agreed as the large man looked at something not too far from her and went over. She glanced as well, eyes widening when she saw Tatsuki on the ground. Conscious, but barely. The man stopped right in front of Tatsuki and asked Ulquiorra if she was the one they were looking for. Ulquiorra said no and that she was trash. The man moved in a way that made Kagome jump out in front of Tatsuki, startling the much larger man into stopping his attack. Ulquiorra went wide-eyed when she appeared in front of the larger Arrancar.
"Who the hell are you?" he growled.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kagome yelled at him. "She's hurt enough as it is and you were going to attack her? What is the matter with you? Demon!"
The man made an angered face and raised an arm to swat Kagome to the side. As it came down, Ulquiorra suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped his arm. "If you attack this miko, Yammi, then you will have many of the Espada after your head," he warned, throwing Yammi's arm away from him before looking towards Kagome. "It is good to see you again, Kagome."
Kagome nodded at him. "Nice to see you, too, Ulquiorra," she said. "I can barely recognize you."
"Yes, many things can happen through the course of 500 years," he said. "You just saved me the trouble of looking for you."
Yammi was confused about this. Ulquiorra didn't get along with many, yet he was speaking to this woman like they were old friends. He looked around for a split second before seeing two newcomers. "Hey, Ulquiorra," he spoke. "Either one of them?"
Ulquiorra looked for a moment. "Yammi, you must work on your sensing. Both of them are too weak to be our target. They're trash."
"What's going on?" Kagome asked as Shippo came out of his hiding spot and stood next to Kagome.
"We are here looking for someone," Ulquiorra explained to her. "Though we were given a description, I do not know why he keeps asking me whenever he sees someone new approach. Of course, I was going to look for you as well, just without many others knowing."
"Mama!" Shippo suddenly exclaimed, pointing towards Yammi and Sado. Kagome gasped, hands covering her mouth when she saw Sado's arm practically torn apart.
Ulquiorra watched as well, surprised when a bright orange barrier formed over him and started to heal the human's arm. "Interesting," he commented. A triangular barrier formed in front of Orihime, but shattered when just Yammi's fist punched against it. The hand then swat at her, tossing her to the side. Orihime then shot a small black object, but Yammi crushed it in his hand.
"What is he doing?" Kagome nearly shouted, about to run over to help Orihime but was stopped by Ulquiorra.
"Being a complete buffoon," Ulquiorra replied like it explained everything. "Where are your bow and arrows?"
"I can't exactly walk around in this time with weapons," Kagome pointed out. "Where have you been, under a rock?"
Ulquiorra was silent for a moment. "In a desert consumed by an eternal night," he stated. "In Hueco Mundo." He watched a black blur suddenly stop in front of Yammi's fist, holding it back by a thin black sword. Yammi once again asked him if this was the one they were looking for and Ulquiorra confirmed it. The fight truly did start then and there when Ichigo removed Yammi's arm with his thin sword.
"What's going on?" Shippo asked fearfully.
Ulquiorra looked down at the disguised fox demon then placed a hand on top of his head. "You will know soon enough," he replied. "I can already assume once I report back, Grimmjow will want to come here and get you himself. If he doesn't get into trouble first."
"Grimmjow?" Kagome repeated, yet keeping her eyes on Ichigo, who suddenly froze up, not that it deterred Yammi any. The larger man didn't seem to care why Ichigo froze up, only that he wasn't fighting back and then started to beat him.
"You will know soon enough," Ulquiorra told her, noticing another woman and a second man enter the fight and started to beat Yammi up. He could tell the fight was going to end soon, and with these opponents, it would probably end with Yammi's death unless he released his zanpakuto. "I hope to see you again, Kagome," he told her before standing in front of the attack the man with a hat and clogs shot towards Yammi. He raised an arm and slashed it through the air, stopping the attack.
"Ulquiorra," Yammi said before the pale man turned and struck him in the stomach, bringing Yammi to his knees.
Ulquiorra spoke for a moment then opened a rip in the sky as Kagome and Shippo ran over to Orihime and Ichigo. As he disappeared, he told them that he would tell Aizen that Ichigo was not even worth killing. Kagome didn't understand what was happening or why this Aizen wanted Ichigo dead. In a way, she had a feeling that this 'Aizen' was just like Naraku, and most likely was.
"You can see me like this?" Ichigo asked in astonishment before Kagome's hands glowed a soft blue over Orihime's injuries.
"A miko," the blonde man commented. "I heard they died out 500 years ago. Since the Shikon Guardian disappeared, actually."
"A miko?" Ichigo copied in confusion. "What the hell is that?"
Kagome nodded her head once as she ran her hands down Orihime, going from injury to injury and healing them. "A miko is a shrine priestess with spiritual powers," she told him. "When there were still many of them, mikos were believed to purify demons. I am a miko, but I thought there weren't any demons around here. Uryu doesn't know. I don't know how to tell him."
"Well I'm sure he wouldn't care much since he isn't exactly a normal human either," the dark-skinned, purple-haired woman kneeling next to Ichigo stated. "Uryu himself is a Quincy."
"A Quincy?" Kagome repeated when she was done healing Orihime's wounds then went to work on Ichigo's.
"What is your name?" the man asked her.
"Higurashi Kagome, I'm new around here and Uryu is my cousin," Kagome replied.
"Well, my name is Urahara Kisuke and this is Shihouin Yoruichi," Urahara introduced. "Perhaps we should all go to my shop so Chad, Orihime, and Ichigo can recover and so you can possibly explain a few things for us."
Shippo looked up at him mother, unsure about this human. He didn't smell right. And Ichigo, though clear as day, didn't have much of a scent at all. "Alright," Kagome agreed, placing a hand on Shippo's shoulder to calm him down. "We'll go."

"So you deemed him unworthy to kill?" Aizen asked his most loyal Arrancar.
"You're too soft!" someone exclaimed.
"Grimmjow," Ulquiorra greeted, looking over his shoulder to see the former-panther demon surrounded by his 'pride', as Grimmjow called them.
"When you're given permission to kill, you kill," Grimmjow commented but noticed a looking Ulquiorra's eye. Grimmjow's own eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that look. It was the 'talk later, I have something important to tell you' look. Not many could read Ulquiorra, but Grimmjow and few of the other Espada could.
Ulquiorra's report eventually ended and the rest of the Arrancar left the throne room. Grimmjow went straight over to Ulquiorra, silently demanding to know what Ulquiorra found that was important. The pale Espada looked over at Nnoitra and Szayel. Both came over as well, along with Tesla.
"She is in Karakura Town," Ulquiorra told them. "She found us shortly after Yammi sucked out the human souls."
"Did you tell her anything?" Grimmjow asked.
"I mentioned you and told her it would be explained at a later date," Ulquiorra replied. "She also has Shippo with her, though he is using one of his kitsune illusions to disguise himself as a human. She has not changed much."
"She lives in this time," Grimmjow pointed out. "What's been 500 years for us has probably been a week or two to her."
"Still, she defended another human from Yammi and called him a demon," Ulquiorra said with a chuckle.
Nnoitra burst out laughing. "So do you think we can bring her into Las Noches without much trouble?" Szayel asked.
"I do not know," Ulquiorra replied with a shake of her head.
"I'll get her and bring her here!" Grimmjow declared confidently.
"How are you going to explain the hole in your gut?" Nnoitra snickered behind his hand. "Same with the jaw on your face?"
"I'll explain it to her when I get her here," Grimmjow grumbled.
"Good luck with that," Nnoitra scoffed. "I'll be laughing if you come back with an arrow in your back."
"She wouldn't do that."
"She's dealt with demons shifting forms before, what makes you think she won't be a little paranoid about you when you have a hole in your stomach and a bone jaw on your face?" Szayel commented with a smirk.
"You shut up," Grimmjow growled, pointing at the pink-haired Espada.
"So how will you explain to Aizen-sama about this?" Ulquiorra broke in before it turned into an argument.
"Two birds, one stone," Grimmjow chuckled. "I'm gonna kill that brat you failed to kill and I'm gonna get Kagome."
"I already told you that if anyone was to kill the trash, it will be me when he gets stronger," Ulquiorra pointed out. "Aizen-sama made him my responsibility."
"Too bad!" Grimmjow exclaimed with a smirk. "Besides, I'm fucking restless. I need a good fight. I'm sure my Fraccion is feeling the same way."
"You'll get into trouble," Nnoitra pointed out blandly.
"Which only makes this more fun," the Sexta stated, grinning ferally. "When I come back, not only will I have a good fight, but I'll also have Kagome here."
Ulquiorra sighed and shook his head. There would be many things going wrong, he could tell. Actually, he would be surprised if Grimmjow did manage to come back with Kagome. It may have been 500 years of Grimmjow wanting nothing more than to get Kagome back, but the panther had changed. There was no denying it.
Unknown to the conversing Espada, a certain silver-haired Shinigami was listening to them with a grin on his lips. This was something Aizen should be told about. After all, if this 'Kagome' was so important to Grimmjow, they could probably use her to control the rebellious Espada. With that thought in mind, Gin made his way down the hall.
12345678987654321
"Mama!" Shippo exclaimed happily, dancing around the aisles. "He sells candy here! He sells candy! Can we get some candy? Please, please, please, please?"
"Calm down, Shippo," Kagome giggled before turning her attention to Urahara. "So who starts the Q&A?"
"Well I think we should wait for your cousin to get here," Urahara replied, lowering his hat a little bit to shadow his eyes. "He should be here soon. It would actually save you the trouble of explaining everything again." Not too long after he said that, the shop door opened to reveal Uryu along with the other Shinigami, whom did not have their gigais. "Yay!" he exclaimed happily with a wide grin. "Everyone's here now!"
"Kagome?" Uryu said. "What are you doing here?"
"Ah, she is one of the reasons why I call you all here," the shop-owner answered before Kagome could. "The other reason would be the attack in the park."
"Everything was over and done with by the time we got there," Ikkaku stated. "No surprise since we were all on the other side of town."
"What kind of attack was it?" Hitsugaya asked. "A powerful Hollow?"
"What's a Hollow?" Shippo asked, sitting next to Kagome.
"Well let me explain it like this," Urahara started, snapping his trademark fan close. "When someone dies, they become a spirit, right?" Shippo and Kagome nodded. "Well there are Shinigami, like these guys, which help the souls go to a place call the Soul Society where they could continue on with their afterlives, become Shinigami themselves if their reiatsu levels are high enough, or have a chance at being reincarnated."
"You just ratted us out to a human," Renji pointed out.
"Oh, she's a miko!" Urahara happily chirped. Seeing the Shinigami momentarily stunned, Urahara continued his explanation. "Now, every soul has a Chain of Fate. As time goes on, that chain shortens and a hole opens where their heart once was. Eventually, if not dealt with, the soul becomes a Hollow – an evil spirit that devours other souls to fill the void inside of them. Shinigami exterminate these Hollows, but some Hollows generally get too powerful for a single Shinigami, sometimes more than one, to defeat.
"Now pay attention, you guys, because this involves the attack," he told the Shinigami. They nodded once. "Now there are two different types of Hollows, as all Shinigami know but I'll explain it for the rest of you. There are the normal Hollows, weaker than the second type. Ichigo, a majority of the Hollows you have encountered are these regular Hollow. You only encountered one Hollow from the second type.
"The second type of Hollows is the Menos, which come in three different classes. First, there is the well known Menos Grande, known as a Gillian –or foot soldier- in the Hollow Realm, Hueco Mundo." Kagome gasped lightly, but Urahara kept going. "Second, there is the Adjuchas. Gillians are normally the same, there is no individual. But there have been a few that have a single personality stand out more and those Gillians evolve into Adjuchas.
"Third are the most powerful, the Vasto Lordes. There are few of them, and they are the smallest, not much larger than a man, but they are the strongest. But there is another type of Hollow that Shinigami are not very accustomed with. The Arrancar. An Arrancar is a Hollow that tore off its own mask to gain the powers of a Shinigami. They have broken masks, a Hollow hole somewhere on their body, and a zanpakuto."
"Zanpakuto?" Shippo repeated, tilting his head to the side.
"It is a Shinigami's weapon," the blonde man said, holding out his cane before unsheathing the sword it held. "Each one has its own name and own unique power."
Shippo let out a low hum before looking up at Kagome. "So those two from earlier were Arrancar?" Kagome asked in a shaky voice.
"Yes," Urahara replied.
Kagome's eyes closed as she inhaled deeply. If Arrancars were spirits, then that meant Ulquiorra was dead and in the spirit world. "Wait, if they are spirits, how can we see them?" she asked.
"Those with low reiatsu can generally see a shape or disorientation in the air when a Hollow or Arrancar are near them," Hitsugaya answered this time. "The higher the reiatsu is for a certain being, the clearer the spirits are. Eventually, one cannot tell what is a spirit and what isn't unless they know exactly what to look for. We Shinigami are spirits as well, yet you seem to see us clear as day."
"Meaning you have high reiatsu," Uryu pointed out, looking towards his cousin. "Shippo, too, since he can see them. But I wanna know something, Kagome. How can you see them? You've never noticed spirits before."
"No, I haven't," Kagome sighed with a shake of her head. "Because my powers were still locked away. I didn't even know about them until…"
"Until what?" Uryu pressed.
"Until I fell down the Bone-Eater's Well and traveled 500 years into the past," she replied. "I might as well be truthful." She inhaled deeply then started to tell her story. No one interrupted her. They all sat quietly and gave her their undivided attention. As she mentioned Shippo was a young fox demon, he cancelled his illusion to show his fox feet, pointed ears, and fox tail, much to the delight of the women in the shop (Rukia stole him from Kagome's lap). When she was done, there was silence for a few moments.
"So you're the legendary Shikon Miko," Urahara commented lowly. Kagome nodded. "You have a barrier on the jewel to hide it, correct? If not, Hollows may come after it. Either the Hollows, or Aizen will."
"Who is Aizen?" Kagome asked. "Ulquiorra mentioned him."
"You know the Arrancar?" Yumichika spoke up.
Kagome nodded. "He was the bat demon I mentioned," she stated. "But if he's an Arrancar, then that means he's dead."
"But we saw him!" Shippo pointed out. "Maybe we can see Grimmjow, too! And you can tell him about the baby!"
Everyone froze. Kagome went red in embarrassment while Uryu started to turn into an overprotective brother. "Kagome, what baby is he talking about?" her cousin asked in a strained voice.
"Um…well, see it's like this," she started.
"Females her age were considered as full grown women in that era," Urahara helped cheerfully, grinning widely. "No surprise, really."
"You're not helping," Kagome told him with a glare. He chuckled.
XD I could not help that last part. I just couldn't! next chapter, will Grimmjow and Kagome reunite? Will Grimmjow take Kagome to Hueco Mundo? Will Tousen still cut off Grimmjow's arm? Well you can guess, but I'm author here so it's my decision. XP review, plz!
