I know I haven't updated in forever, but I thought: "Hey, I think i'll update now." Its going to end soon though, I have new ideas and I really want to get this done. But it doesn't mean I wont make this story anymore less exciting! About 3-4 more chapters to go! (I also see from past comments on how you want more TxS (Tia and Starrk), but they are extremely minor characters in my story, but I will try and add some moments. Sorry lol)

Weeks went by as did the laughter and the tears. This just made the family grow closer and closer together. Now on her 13th birthday, she finally got what she has been yearning for. The truth.

"Blow out the candles!" Her mother squealed, jumping up and down. Mizuki tsked and turned away from the constantly, random shots her mother took with the camera.

"Wait! I have to make a wish." Mizuki closed her eyes tight then blew out the the candle shaped as a '13'. Everyone clapped, cheered, and blew party poppers (A/N I dont know what they're called lol). Mizuki gave a bashful smile to everyone and stuck her finger in the icing. She licked it and gave a dramatic "YUM!"

"Hey kiddo..." Starrk said, getting her attention.

"What-" She was cut off with the whole cake getting stuffed into her face. She gasped and stood up. Icing stuck to her inky black hair and covered her porcelain face. Fuyu, Chizu, and Makoto bust out laughing. Ulquiorra shook his head and all the adults laughed along to.

"Uncle Starrk! Ugh, you piss me off!" She mockingly scolded, but the smile on her face showed her true feelings. She took a chunk of the cake and hit him right in the chest. He scoffed.

"Its war now!"

"War? I daresay its unfair 'cause i've already won!"

"Child I don't know what or who your talking about."

As the two argued, Makoto took the mushed cake and slammed it in Mizuki's face again. She growled.

"Makoto! I'll kill you!"

"You have to catch me first!"

She lunged at him; tackling him to the ground and stuffing random bits of cake all over him. He then used some of his strength to flip her around to where he was on top of her, stuffing cake into her mouth. Her pupils turned into slits as she glared at him through cat like eyes.

"Y-you bastard!" She wheezed, spitting cake out. Chizu and Fuyu ran to her aid, getting Makoto off of her and sitting on him.

She took shallow breathes and stood up.

"Who's the bitch now?" She laughed. Orihime on the other hand, did not like the fact her dining room was getting destroyed.

"Alright, alright! War is over! I call a draw, tie thing!" Her mother shouted, catching the kids attention. They pouted, but complied as they all got off him. Hours passed and they all cleaned up the HUGE mess they made of the dining room and lets just say that stain in the red carpet isn't coming off. Ulquiorra didn't see a problem with it, but Orihime's face twisted into a sour expression. The guests left and Mizuki, whom had already cleaned the gunk out of her hair and off her face, plunged down face first on the sofa.

"So, what did you wish for?" Orihime gently asked her as she rubbed Mizuki's back in a circular motion.

"Why should I tell you? It will never come true if I tell you." Mizuki sighed.

"I wouldn't say that." Mizuki lifted her head up slightly in keen interest.

"Really?"

"Really, really."

Mizuki took a second to ponder this and then sat up.

"If you tell me your wish, i'll tell you my secret."

This intrigued Mizuki and she slowly nodded her head.

"Alright honey you first."

"I believe you know what I want. I want you to tell me everything."

Orihime smiled and hugged her daughter and told her the story. She told her of spiritual pressure, of the Reapers, of her powers, and of the hollows. Of who Starrk, Tia, Ichigo, and Rukia really are.

"Your father was an advanced type of hollow called an arrancar. He was a Vasto Lorde (A/N: IDK how to spell it) and was ranked number 4 in power. He had a half bone on one side of his head and strange tattoo's running down his face like tears. These arrancar lived in the capital called Hueco Mundo." Orihime took a deep breath.

"Mother, how did you meet him anyway? It doesn't make sense. Father is in this whole other dimension and he doesn't seem like the bubbly type like you are."

Orihime gave a weak smile.

"That's because he was deadly. He...He did things he regrets now because he has you and I. He only goes into that form to protect us when danger is coming close. He is so proud of you my dear. Back then he was forced to kidnap me to use as bate for the Soul Society. He was quite annoyed with me at first but the he started to grow fond of me. He would purposefully sit in the room with me while I was eating because he started to enjoy my company, though he would deny it if you ask. Then he and Ichigo got into this huge battle against one another. Ichigo almost killed your father, but I couldn't stand to see him die. I guess you could say my feelings at that moment were to strong. So I heal- ahm, reversed time with my Shun Shun Rikka. He started to live in the Soul Society with me until we moved to the human world so I could give birth and raise you."

Mizuki was silent and totally baffled at the knowledge she had acquired.

"Mother...Thank you for telling me!" She whispered and threw her arms around her mothers' neck. Orihime hugged her as if she were to let go, she would disappear.

"Your welcome, you needed to know. I was just so scared, I guess, that you would despise us about our past, but you deserve to know. You are developing your spiritual pressure as we speak!"

"Mother didn't you have a certain secret? Or was that it?"

Orihime's face lit up.

"Oh I almost forgot," She took her daughters hands into hers, "How would you like a younger brother or sister?"

Before Mizuki could even react, they both were startled by the loud thump of a grocery bag.

*Evil* Mwhahhahaha! ;) Like I said, I will keep it interesting! But I still have to bring in Mr. Shady. I know you miss him dearly. No worries, you will see him in the next chapter! ;) I still have 3 more LONG chapters to write!
