I am finally fully finished with chapter 9. Hope you enjoyed it!
CHAPTER 10
Yukina
Ichigo opened the door and out of reflex stepped to the site. It was just in the right moment too because his father was about to kick him as a sign of welcome again.
"Dad can't you be careful! I have a kid in my arms!"
Isshin blinked and looked to Ichigos arms. There really was a kid there and it had snow white hair and pointed ears.
"My sun, have you finally decided to create a family as well?" yelled Isshin into his ears.
"Of course not you old fool. I am taking care of this child till the father awakens again. It was my fault after all!" and without saying anymore he passed his father and sat down on the couch. Isshin ran to the poster of his wife and yelled while letting tears fall: "My son is treating me badly Masaki, but he has grown so much!"
Ichigo just rolled his eyes and sighed. The really should put that overgrown poster down. It might have a bad influence to the baby how his dad reacted. He heard footsteps and saw his sisters coming down. Yuzu spotted the child and began to make cooing noises. Karin just stared at it. Ichigo looked back at Karin and shrugged his shoulders. She took it as a sign and sat down next to him and turned on TV. It had nothing to do with her anyway even thought she was curious. There was no way that the baby was normal. It had white hair and pointed ears after all.
"Ichi-nii, what is this baby?" asked Karin finally after having hoped that Ichigo would tell her.
"This is the baby of a mountain god of another world. She will stay with us till her father awakens. It's my fault he went into sleep any way."
His whole family stared at him. Isshin had gotten a little description before but he didn't really understand it. They all stared at the baby again. Ichigo looked at the baby and thought about it. This child was from the looks of it about one year old. He needed to find a name for her he couldn't just call her baby or child all the time.
"Yukina" Ichigo suddenly said. Everyone looked at him with questionable looks. "I will call her Yukina from now on. The father didn't give me her name so I decided that I will just call her that."
Everyone only nodded. It was true that she needed a name and it really fit her. Then she started to move. Seconds later her eyes opened and she looked around. Then she spotted Ichigo and smiled.
"Mama" she said in her language. Ichigo was thankful that no one understood her. He wouldn't correct her now because it wouldn't bring him anything. He pointed at her and said: "Yukina". She seemed to like the name or at least the sound of it because she clapped her hands and pointed at herself while saying: "Yukina"
Ichigo looked at his father and asked: "What happened while I was away. Have I missed something?"
"No, I just saw you disappear and about an hour later appear in front of our house again." Ichigo looked suspicious. "I felt you spiritual powers disappear and saw a golden pillar. That was enough to know that you disappeared. Same when you appeared again." Ichigo became pale. "Could normal people see it too?" Isshin shock his head as an answer and Ichigo sighed. He had been worried that the media would come again. Then Ichigo noticed something. Ichigo felt not one, but two pulls on his reiatsu and somehow he just knew that it came from the other world. Great more work for him.
Ichigo looked down at the baby again and noticed that she was trying to get his hand. He gave it to her and she started to suck on one finger. She sucked at his reiatsu as food source maybe. Ichigo went with the other hand through her hair and stopped at a sharp object that hindered his way almost in the middle. He moved the hair a bit out of the way and looked at it. His eyes became a bit wider and his family noticed it and looked also. She had a little horn there that was white also and so wasn't easily spotted. Ichigo sighed and looked at the watch. He was tired and really needed the sleep. He stood up and finally noticed that he still had the bag and the clothes from the other world on. He would put them into his closet and think about it later. He went up the stairs to his room and opened the door. He felt that something was different and opened the closet. He almost fell when he saw who was in there. Rukia was asleep in his closet and seemed to be happy about something. She was probably dreaming about her Chappy again. That damn bunny was really scary in his opinion. He would never let Yukina anywhere near it. He put the clothes and the bag into his closet and went to bed. He laid Yukina next to him and fell asleep. She had also fallen asleep and every time she woke up and became hungry she just sucked on Ichigos finger. Ichigo awakened like usually through his father. He was about to drop kick him awake and Ichigo dodge while taking Yukina with him. He was about to hit his dad back and yell at him when Yukinas eyes seemed to glow and the floor suddenly freeze. His father fell and Yukina seemed to really like that. She started to giggle and clap her hands.
Ichigo slowly stood up, careful not to fall and went to his closet. He opened it and had forgotten Rukia was in there. He closed it abruptly again when he saw what Rukia was doing. She couldn't just sleep somewhere else (his father had even organized a bed for her) she needed to make his life worse and change her clothes in his closet. She hadn't noticed that Ichigo had opened the door and closed it again but she heard the knock after that.
"Rukia can you give me my clothes? I can't really openen the door and just take them out right. I need my uniform to go to school."
Rukia opened the closet door a bit and gave Ichigo his clothes. Ichigo took them and started to put his uniform on. Yukina watched everything with interest and then started to try wobbling out of bed. Ichigo noticed that and caught her before she fell. He lifted her when he was finished and took his bag into his other hand. He didn't truest his father with a child and a god at that. He really didn't want to see the aftermath of what happened. He went out and was soon followed by Rukia who didn't notice the child at first.
"Ichigo we haven't told the soul society till now about you being a god but they have noticed that something weird is going on around you and want to talk about it." Ichigo nodded and she finally saw the girl that had stayed quiet until now. "Whose child is that and why are you taking it with you to school?"
"I don't truest my father when it comes to children and it is the child of a mountain god. Her father has fallen asleep because of me and so I am taking care of her till her father awakes again. Rukia just stared at the child. She just now noticed that the child was somehow different. Ichigos own reiatsu had covered it till now, but if she tried to look at hers closely she could feel it. It was a cold aura just like hers.
"What's her name?"
"I call her Yukina because her father didn't tell me her name."
Rukia nodded but said nothing anymore till they arrived at school. He told his friends the same as Rukia when they started to ask and finally arrived at his class room when the door rang. He had put the eye patch on and his hair was in a ponytail behind him. He looked like normal? He sat down and put Yukina unto his lap. She started to move around a bit but stayed quiet over all. That was one thing that Ichigo was grateful about. He didn't want to take care of a hyperactive child while in school.
His teacher came in and made eye contact. The almost seemed to be scared of talking to him since that incident the other day. The all avoided it to make him answer a question but they couldn't avoid it when they saw the child. The teacher didn't say anything at first and just seemed to have a staring contest with Ichigo. Then he sighed and said:
"Why do you have a child with you Kurosaki-san?"
"I am responsible for this child since her father is in coma. It was partly my fault so I am taking care of her. I am not letting her stay with my father because that would be bad influence to her and I do not trust him with a child at home." The teacher only nodded and let it be. Ichigo would get his will after all. They still felt guilty about the incident and wouldn't discuss with him.
The school went on as normally as it could be. Ichigo was quiet thankful. Only one incident had happened. Ichigo had even found it a bit of funny. The bullies had tried to annoy him again and had pulled on his hair. Yukina had thought of him as a bad person or as an attacker and had frozen the floor under him. He had fallen hard on his face and needed to be brought to the infirmary. Everyone ad wondered why he had fallen and Yukina had giggled and had clapped her hands again. The bell rung one last time and they could go home. Rukia brought him to the soul society.
"Why do I always need to run because of this cleaner? I am not even attacking so why is that damn thing active right now?"
"Oh shut up and run. You don't want to be flat at the end do you?"
Ichigo sighed but ran never less. He didn't really have a choice anyway. Yukina wiggled around in his arms and wanted to be put down. Ichigo held her tightly. He didn't want her to die. They jumped out of the damn portal and where finally save. Ichigo, for the first time landed on his feet while Rukia landed in a weird position. He looked around but no one seemed to be waiting for him. He noticed how Yukina still wiggled and finally put her down.
She seemed to be thrilled by the new surrounding and started to suck the air into her mouth. She sucked the particles of reiatsu out of the wall that was next to them and the wall slowly disappeared. That was just great. She was eating soul society. Ichigo took her up and gave her his finger. 'Better then letting her suck out the wall' Ichigo thought.
Ichigo had helped Rukia up and had looked around a bit. Yukina had many times tried to taste the thinks around her and Ichigo was just happy that she liked his reiatsu the most. He didn't know what to do if she tried it the whole time. They hadn't met anyone they knew so far and Ichigo was happy with that. They went through the gates and the barrier. The big guy (Ichigo couldn't remember his name) let them in. Ichigo stepped one foot into the barrier and suddenly the barrier had become a bit bigger. No one noticed it thought and when Ichigo was fully in the barrier suddenly widened. It became bigger and bigger and soon was even over some of the far laying districts.
Ichigo and Rukia noticed nothing of this. They were still to concentrated on Yukina, but everyone else did. Rukia had also seen what the little girl did and was careful with her. She noticed that something had changed but didn't react to it. They went on till they stood right before the meeting room for the captains. They had seen that suddenly the fuku-taichos also came together and where wondering why. Ichigo stepped in and looked around. Everyone was present, even Kenpachi and they were already talking amount themselves. The old man (Sou-taicho) noticed him first and made everyone else become quiet. They also noticed Ichigo but there interest seemed to be on the child in his arms.
"Ichigo, did you have a child before?" asked the Shunsui with a happy and easy going voice.
"No, I don't have a child and I am taking care of it right now, till the father awakens again. Oh and a wall disappeared at the gate. It should be recreated soon."
Everyone looked at him confused but then Soi-Fon said: "You can't just bring a living human child with you. It is not allowed!"
Ichigo looked a bit confused and opened his mouth to say something when Unohana said: "This child isn't a human being is it?"
Ichigo nodded, he really didn't want to explain it again. He didn't notice that he had taken his finger out of her mouth and she was trying to get his finger again. She didn't get it and looked around. Then she started to suck on the air. A few chairs till Ichigo noticed it and held his finger before her mouth. She gladly took it and sucked on his reiatsu again.
Everyone stared at the baby. They didn't know of creature that looked like a human and ate reiatsu. Sou-taicho didn't look happy and said:
"What is this baby and where did you get it?" he asked with a demanding tone.
Ichigo sighed and said: "This is the baby of a god. I was summoned into another world and through a mistake of mine the mountain god there went into sleep. I promised him that I would take care of this little child, or god till he awakens again." No one said a think and everyone stayed quiet. Then they thought about it and Ukitake asked: "Could it be that this child is the reason that the barrier widened?" Everyone thought about it and it would be plausible. Ichigo looked at them and asked: "What is with the barrier?" They looked at him as if he was dumb. Ichigo really wanted to just go home. "The barrier expanded and we all were trying to find out why. When I think about it, we felt a chance around you. Since when did you have the child?" Toshiro asked Ichigo.
"Since yesterday, why do you ask?" Mayuri was looking interested to the baby. Ichigo gave him a glare that told him: "Try it, but don't whine about the conscience." Mayuri backed away. Even he had some self preserving instincts.
Yurina seemed to be full and pushed the finger out of her mouth. Then she said: "Mama, want to go" in her language.
Ichigo answered in the same language: "We will go soon. I also do not want to stay here for much longer."
"Mama, I want to go now!" Ichigo just sighed. First the disturbing thing that she called him mama and now that she wants to go.
"Why do you want to go?" Ichigo asked her patiently.
"It hot?" she answered. Ichigo had an idea and picked her up. He gave her to Toshiro that looked a bit taken back. Yukina looked up to him and then smiled and cuddled herself into his arms.
"What is the meaning of this Kurosaki-san?" Toshiro finally asked.
"She said she was hot in here and wanted to go. I thought since your body temperature is colder than normal humans that she would like it. She can stay on your arms can't she?"
Thoshiro understood Ichigos logic and nodded. He thought that Ichigo wanted to make fun of him but it seemed that it was not the case. Now that he thought of it, Ichigo had never tried to make fun of him. He had only said that he was small sometimes and even if he wouldn't admit it it was true. Matsumoto behind him squealed.
"Taicho is holding his own child and he himself is one, how cute!" Two thinks made him angry. One she said that he was a child and two that it was cute. The temperature around them dropped rapitly and Yukina squealed. She liked this temperature. When Matsumoto went on the temperature went into minus and Yukina started to make snow with it. Now they were standing in a room that had have disappeared and it was now snowing in it. Everyone had started to shiver expect for a few. Matsumoto, because she was always with Toshiro, Yukina because it was normal for her and Ichigo because he didn't noticed great changes anymore. He knew it was cold and felt it but he really wasn't having problems with it.
Byakua said: "Stop it Thoshiro or do you want to freeze us to death?" he said this in his normal emotionless voice. Toshiro finally also noticed the change and stopped. The snow didn't stop thought and everyone looked at Yukina in Thoshiros arms. Ichigo sighed and said:
"Yukina stop the snow, not everyone likes it." It was in her language and she finally stopped but pouted. She liked the snow. Ichigo looked around but suddenly felt a stab in his site. He looked down to see that a hollow had cut him. No one had noticed him till now like he had been invinsible to the eyes and he had somehow managed to go through the barrier. Ichigos blood spluttered to the ground and everyone looked shocked at him. The ground suddenly started to tremble and everything around them started to grow. Living plants that shouldn't exist in soul society closed around Ichigo and started to attack the hollow. Ichigo didn't notice the pain because he had become numb. It was a deep cut but not dangerous only if he lost to much blood. He had much of that, if not he hadn't survived all the times in his battle. He himself had seen how much he had lost and most of the times thought that he must already be dead with that much blood lost. The plants grew more and more around him and he tried to get out of them. Something was attacking and he wanted to help. Ichigo finally freed himself and let a bit of his reiatsu go. At the same time he went into battle stance, a very strong reiatsu was felt and all the sou-taicho said was: "The soul king!"
