Hey peoples. I'm back with the new chapter. WHOO! Anyway, it's been a long week. I had another Physics Test today (yes I'm writing this on Friday) and I feel like I did really well on it. Thank you for all the reviews, it made my horrible week a large bit better. Let's just say that the girl I like A LOT is pissed at me, long story short, she invited me to a ball game then started to flirt with some guys. I got pissed, yelled at her, called her some things, and left. And now she's sad, like all the time, so now I feel like a major asshole. Then Ole Miss lost their first game? . it's been a hella week.
I know you guys are looking forward to more blood and gore and action, but these next few chapters are going to be more of Ichigo recovering and revealing his past through dreams, nightmares, and flashbacks. There will be some action, both kinds of action, but mostly stories being told while Ichigo heals, then we'll get back into the swing of things…I promise. Then poor Rukia gets to meet Isshin.
(Pregnant Rukia+ Ichigo on Morphine+ Yuzu & Karin+ Isshin * Orihime / Aizen) ^ me = massive amounts of chaos…and that's the only math I can do without failing :P
Now on to my always favorite part (beside writing this Fanfic and watching Bleach of course) my always wonderful reviewers.
To BlackWhiteZangetsu- Ah…action and romance, my two favorite things when it comes to stories.
To shnizlefritz- no no, thank you. And you're very welcome
To Nivek01- You're welcome for the blood blath. It'll take some time for Ichigo to get back, but get back he will. I sent you a request so I can share documents with you, so I'll send you a preview of Chapter 12.
To hinataellis- I know right? I'll have to recall all the weddings I've been to to make it as real as possible, and yes I will add some honeymoon chapters. I promise!
To Aizawa Ayumu- all secrets will be revealed in due time my friend…all in due time. ;)
To gummibear09- Thank you soooo much! I enjoy writing this story and I'm glad that you enjoy it too. As always it's my pleasure to try and make everyone's day a little better.
To stella- I'm sure Ichigo would marry you…oh wait, if he didn't have Rukia…as long as it's not Orihime he marries *grimaces*. And no way in HELL am I saying anything about that Physics test.
To KuroKuchiki- Yeah, I'd hate to piss off Rukia too, and I'm the one who is directing her movements lol. action is always good, and so is sweet. I guess you could say it was a bitter-sweet moment? I know I know, the joke is fucking horrible, but I felt like saying it.
To Rukes- well they will all die eventually…no one can live when Rukia is pissed off.
To moonshine- That's where I got it from too…but it's true sadly. And I love the lobby killing scene, it's awesome lol…don't worry, my parents may take my laptop away, but I still have the school computers to write on, and my grandparents house to update on. My parents can't take away internet from me! They won't even try to because I would just be back on a few days later.
To pamianime- yeah, it sucks when you love someone that you can't have.
To rukia01- glad you love the story…I love it too, and I love you for reviewing on it ;P
To ieaturcat- it may not be inflammable, but does it really matter? Lol I mean I get your point don't get me wrong, but it's a story, I can make pigs fly if I want to right?
Disclaimer- I do not own Bleach in any way shape or form…yadda yadda yadda, whatever…does the great writer of Bleach even care?
"God damn it!" Aizen screamed and threw a chair across the dining room. It slammed into the wall and broke, leaving two of the legs in the wall and a few more holes from the arm rests. "How does Gin get captured? How?" Aizen was turning red with anger as Orihime sat at the table and Tosen leaned against the doorframe.
"Sosuke, calm down," Tosen said and Aizen took deep breaths as he tried to get calm. "There's not much we can do about it at the moment. I'll get it set up so that he goes on trial pretty quickly. We can get him while he's being moved from the jail to the courthouse. That's when he'll be the most vulnerable."
"Okay. You and Orihime get back to the station and get everything planned out," he ran his hands through his hair as he walked into the kitchen. "Do you want something to drink?"
"No, thank you," Tosen said.
"I'll have a glass of Jack," Orihime said and Tosen glared at her.
"You aren't supposed to drink on the job," he said as Aizen came back in with a glass of clear liquid in one hand and a glass of amber colored liquid in the other.
"Just let her have a drink," Aizen said to Tosen and handed Orihime the glass of amber liquid and she took a large gulp, surprising both men.
"My question is this; how do we get Ichigo?" Aizen took a drink of his glass and looked at her.
"Still obsessed with him are we, Orihime? Well, I still have to think on that one. He's probably going to be in the hospital for a while," Tosen said and Orihime looked at him.
"Why? What did you do to him?" she asked angrily and stood and Aizen looked at her.
"We made him pay for hurting your feelings," Aizen said softly and smiled, defusing her anger.
"How?" she asked more calmly this time.
"We beat him. He's got broken legs, broken hands, probably some head trauma," Orihime turned red and jumped at him.
"You bastard! You said you wouldn't hurt him!" Aizen grimaced and stepped to the side, sticking his arm out. He grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air.
"Watch what you call me you bitch," he growled and she grabbed his hand trying to pry it off as she turned blue. "I took you in. I adopted you into my family, and this is how you treat me?" Tosen put a hand on his arm lightly and Aizen looked at him out of the corner of his eye.
"It's time. Call them together again. We have a job to finish," Tosen said and Aizen nodded, letting Orihime drop to the floor. She started coughing and grabbed her throat as she regained her breath. Aizen readjusted his cloths and stared down at Orihime.
"Now, get back to the station and get ready for phase two," Aizen said quietly and Orihime slowly picked herself up. She walked through the door and Aizen let his gaze linger after her.
"You know that she's not going to sleep with you. Only Gin and Ichigo are "allowed to touch her"." Tosen said and Aizen turned to him.
"Since when have I ever followed the rules," Tosen thought back to when they had been kids living on the streets.
"Good point. But I seriously wouldn't try for it now. Give her a day or so," Tosen said and laid his hand on Aizen's shoulder.
"Okay, even though we only have about 6 days until Gin's first trial, I'll wait," Tosen nodded once and walked away. "And Tosen."
"Hmm?" Tosen looked over his shoulder at him.
"Thank you. For all the help you've given me," Tosen smiled slightly.
"I owe you Sosuke," Tosen said simply and walked away as Aizen nodded. He sat down and stared out the window, thinking to himself.
One Week after Rescue-
The white moving truck sat across the street from the court house. Aizen, Tosen, and Orihime all sat in the back with weapons in their laps. Two members from the Hollows were also sitting in the van as well as a member of the Arrancar's gang.
"Are we ready yet?" asked a man with a balaclava over his face, some blue hair spilling out from the mask. The mask had the print of a broken jawbone on the right side of his face over the jaw.
"Soon, Grimmjow," Aizen said softly and pulled back the hammer of the M9 in his hand. "We just need to wait for Gin to go on trial before we break in and rescue him. Now, everyone load the cop killers."
"Why are we going to wait? Why not get him while he's outside?" Orihime asked and Aizen looked at her as they loaded the cop killers into their guns.
"It's time to let people know what they are dealing with. We go in and rescue Gin with guns blazing, just make sure not to hit him," he looked at his watch and pulled the balaclava over his head. The others followed his lead. Aizen's mask was plain black, as was Tosen's and Orihime's masks. The two gang members pulled their masks down. Both masks had skulls printed on the front in a yellowish white color. The radio stopped blaring out music and an announcement came on.
"Gin Ichimaru is now going on trial for the kidnapping of police officer Ichigo Kurosaki who is currently in critical condition in the Tokyo Hospital. Gin is also on trial on four counts of murder, two counts breaking and entering, five counts arson, six counts of assault and battery, two counts assault with a deadly weapon, and thirteen counts of rape/sexual assault. We will cover this trial as it starts momentarily, please stay tuned," Aizen pressed a button and looked at everyone.
"The broadcast is now being recorded. Let's move, we only have 10 minutes before the tape shuts off," he said and unlocked the doors, and rolled up the windows.
Tosen opened the back door and jumped out. Grimmjow was right behind him. The two hollows were right behind him and they were followed by Orihime. Aizen climbed out of the van last and locked the door. Aizen put the gun in his pocket and walked across the street to the court house. Grimmjow cocked the SCAR-H in his hands and followed Aizen, hiding the gun under the long coat that matched the ones everyone else wore. The two hollows cocked their MP5ks and hid them by their sides. Orihime held the SPAS shotgun by her leg and walked up the stairs to the door. Tosen clipped the M4 to his belt and pulled out a silenced M9 and opened the door. The two guards saw them and stood up pulling weapons on them.
"Who are and what are you doing here?" one of the guards asked. Tosen fired a shot and the guard on the right fell to the ground dropping his gun as he pressed his hands to his chest, trying to stop the bleeding from the hole in his heart. The second guard looked to his friend and fell to the ground as a bullet found his head, just behind the left ear. Tosen stepped over their bodies and the others followed. They quickly walked up the stairs, Tosen in the lead, and he looked down the hall and saw two guards by the court doors.
"Two guards by the door, both carrying automatic assault rifles," Tosen said and pulled out his M4 and aimed down the hall. He pulled the trigger and fired the clip down the hallway. The man closest to Tosen took a bullet in the shoulder and he twisted away to protect himself but was struck in the upper back between his shoulders by three more bullets. He fell on his face and didn't move. The second guard took a two bullets in the same leg, one in the calf and one in the thigh, and he fell to the ground holding his leg in pain as blood seeped through his pants.
"Go," Aizen said and Tosen ran to the door followed by everyone else. Aizen brought up the rear, though he walked slowly. "Take care of this trash," Aizen said pointing to the guard who was whimpering in pain on the floor
"Allow me," Grimmjow said and grabbed the man by the leg and arm and threw him over the railing and they heard a scream as he fell to the ground. There was a crack as he hit the floor and broke his back. There was screams from inside the court room as everyone wondered what was going on.
"Go," Aizen said calmly and stood there as Tosen kicked open the door and threw himself down as the bailiff and two cops in the room opened fire on the door. Tosen rolled behind the benches and knelt down. Orihime, Grimmjow, and the Hollows rolled in and ducked behind more benches. "NOW!" Aizen screamed and stepped into the doorway, the M9 raised. Tosen, Orihime, Grimmjow, and the two Hollows jumped up from behind their cover and returned fire. The bailiff flew backwards into the judge's stand as Orihime hit him in the chest with shotgun shells. He slid to the ground and went limp.
Tosen's bullets went through one cop and he jerked as bullets passed through his body and thudded into the wall behind him. The second cop ducked behind the benches and the others moved forward over the dead. The six of them kept firing at the remaining civilians that hadn't been killed in the cross fire. There were people lying on the ground, between benches, on benches, anywhere there had been people watching the trial there were bodies. Since there was no door other than the one they had come through, they couldn't escape and were all killed.
"I got him!" one of the hollows shouted. The cop jumped up and fired three shots while running away before Tosen shot him in the head, coving the wall with blood and brains. The cop did a barrel roll as the billet struck him and he hit the ground face down. Out of the three shots two struck one of the hollows, one bullet in the shoulder the other in the face. As he hit the ground he clutched at his face a screamed. The last bullet hit the other hollow in the chest and he slumped over.
"Are you okay?" Orihime asked as he stood up again, slipping slightly in the blood that covered the floor in a thick sheet. The cameraman still stood by the camera, shaking in fear as he was the last one left alive.
"Yeah I'm fine," he nodded and rushed over to his brother and helped him up.
"I can stand," he said thickly and ripped off his mask revealing a hole in the left cheek. The teeth were shattered and blood dripped everywhere. Orihime winced as she looked at his face.
"GIN!" Aizen yelled and Gin stood up slowly.
"Well, it's about time you showed up," Gin grinned and Tosen punched him in the face making him fall. Aizen reached down and picked Gin up and punched him on the other side of the face.
"That's for getting captured," Tosen said as he picked Gin up a second time.
"And that's for making us come and get you," Aizen added and then both Tosen and Aizen hugged Gin briefly. "Let's go," Aizen said and they walked towards the door quickly.
"Not so fast! You can't leave yet," they turned around and saw the grey haired lady in judges robes stand up from behind the stand, a .44 magnum pointed at them.
"YOU!" Grimmjow screamed from just outside the door and fired his gun from the hip. Everyone hit the ground, Tosen and Aizen both throwing an arm over Gin to protect him. The judge fell to the ground as bullets thudded into the stand. "I've been searching for you since I got out of prison! Now I have you!" he dropped the gun and ran towards the stand as the judge rose slowly. She pointed the gun at Grimmjow who had drawn a M9 and both of them opened fire on each other. The judge stood there as she fired six shots to Grimmjow's ten. One bullet struck her in the upper arm and she fell to the floor. Grimmjow scaled the stand and grabbed her by the lapels.
"I remember you," she whispered. "Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. I had you put away for murder, but you escaped," Grimmjow grinned at her.
"Of course I escaped! Life in prison for one murder isn't very nice. You couldn't even prove it! You put me away cause you didn't like the way I looked cause I was a 'punk' as you called me," Grimmjow sneered and pinned her to the wall.
"We all knew that you killed her. We all knew that you were guilty," she said and Grimmjow picked up the gavel and hit her hard over the head.
"Good for you. Now you have the deaths of 13 people on your hands, not just one," he said and pulled four foot long nails from his coat. "I've kept these for just this occasion. Those who judge others must be judged themselves," Grimmjow picked her up and grabbed two chairs. The others watched as Grimmjow took the nails and stuck them in his mouth and took the gavel in one hand. He pinned the judge to the wall and she looked at him.
"You killed all the jurors who put you away too didn't you?" she asked quietly and Grimmjow nodded and climbed onto the first chair. "What about the cops?" Grimmjow shook his head and dragged her onto the second chair. "Why not them?"
"They were doing their jobs by catching me. If you had tried me fairly and found me guilty fairly I wouldn't do this. Now, stand still," he placed a nail against her wrist and used the gavel to hit it. The judge screamed and everyone cringed as the nail pierced her flesh. Blood flowed freely from the wound as she grabbed at Grimmjow who hit her over the head with the gavel. Orihime rushed from the room as the others looked on. Grimmjow hit the nail a second time, then a third, and the nail embedded itself in the wall and the judge cried out.
Grimmjow took a second nail and set it against her other wrist and repeated the process. Blood ran down both the wall from both sides as Grimmjow took the third and fourth nails and nailed her shoulders to the wall. By this time the judge had stopped screaming and was just standing there on the chair sobbing as blood poured from her wounds. Blood covered Grimmjow from where her wrists had sprayed him. He grimaced and stepped off the ladder.
"I'm sorry that I had to do this," he said and looked up at her as her chin settled against her chest, blood running from her parted lips.
"No, you aren't sorry. You will burn in hell for this," she said and Grimmjow grinned.
"Maybe I will, but I have a feeling that someday I'll have a chance to repent and save as many lives as I've taken," he said and smiled, a light touching his eye briefly before he kicked the chair from under her feet and she dropped, her body now supported by just the nails. She screamed again and Grimmjow grinned as he walked from the room. He was followed by the others. As Aizen walked by the cameraman, who had been taping for the news the entire time, he raised the gun and fired one shot without looking. The bullet took the man between the eyes, snapping his glasses in half and he fell backwards to the floor. They heard sirens outside and Aizen cursed as they ran down the stairs and past the now dead guard who was lying in a pool of blood.
"Fuck. We took too long," he growled and they sprinted from the building. The cop cars sped around the corner.
"Fucking cops!" the Hollow with the hole in his face screamed and fired at the cops with the MP5k. The bullets shattered the windshield and blood splattered the remaining glass as the driver was hit. The car skidded to a halt and the cop in the passenger seat opened the door and hid behind it and returned fire with a pistol. The Hollow took a shot to the shoulder and he fell to his knees. He reloaded the gun and fired again as he two more to the chest before he fell backwards, his glassy eyes staring at the sky.
"NO!" the other Hollow fired at the cop and the cop's head snapped back as bullet passed clean through the eye and out the back. The Hollow laughed loudly as a second car sped around the other corner and both cops opened fire. The Hollow stood in the middle of the street, shooting his MP5k as the police car headed straight for him. "Come on you fucks. Let's dance!" he screamed and the car slammed into him going about 50 with a loud crunch. He flew down the street and slid to a stop next to the other cop car.
The second car screeched to a halt and the two officers climbed out and rushed to the two Hollows. Both Hollows lay in pools of blood, both dead. It took about 30 seconds from the time the first Hollow opened fire to the time the second Hollow was killed. More cops showed up and pulled to a stop, rushing to either the shot up cop car, or the dead gang members. The moving van was gone.
Two Weeks after Rescue-
Rukia sat next to Ichigo's bed and held his left hand lightly in both of hers, running her fingers over the rough cast. Her back was to the window and door so she didn't see a very large Yoruichi walk in. to the room. Yoruichi stood there and leaned against the door, staring at the two. She brushed a strand of purple hair from her face and sighed.
"Rukia, you need to go back home and get some sleep," she said and walked over to her. Rukia looked up at her as Yoruichi put a hand on her shoulder.
"Why should I?" she asked and turned back to Ichigo.
"You have school tomorrow Rukia. You haven't missed a day of school in two weeks, and I'm not going to let you start tomorrow."
"But tomorrow is Monday," Rukia said and Yoruichi growled and grabbed her by the arms lifting her from the chair.
"Listen to me, Rukia. You need to finish school if you ever want to get a job."
"I have a job," Rukia said and tore away from Yoruichi's grasp.
"Oh really? Please tell me what that job is," Yoruichi glared at her.
"I am going to be a wife," Rukia glared back at her. "Ichigo's wife. I'm part of two of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Why should I have a job?"
"Those are not jobs. What is it that you've always wanted to do, Rukia?" Yoruichi asked and Rukia sat down in the chair facing Ichigo again.
"I've always wanted to be a teacher," Yoruichi's eyes softened for she had had a similar dream at one point.
"Then go to school and follow your dreams," she said and laid her hands on Rukia's shoulders.
"But I don't want to disappoint Ichigo," she said and Yoruichi blinked.
"And how would that disappoint Ichigo?"
"Because he's going to be head of a mafia family some day. What kind of wife would I be to a mafia head if I was a teacher?"
"You'd be his wife. He loves you, not because of what you do, but because you are you," Yoruichi said and pulled her from the chair again. "Now say good night. You're going home," Rukia nodded and bent down to kiss Ichigo on the lips softly.
"Please come home to us," she said and walked from the room. Yoruichi kissed Ichigo on the cheek and followed Rukia. They walked down the cold white hospital hallway until they got to the door. It was dark outside and it was raining. Urahara had the car out front and he climbed out and walked to the door under an umbrella. Yoruichi and Rukia climbed into the car and waited as Urahara got back into the driver's seat.
"To the mansion slave," Yoruichi said with a smile.
"Yes ma'am," he growled with a smile and drove away from the hospital. Rukia looked out the window and unconsciously played with the engagement ring on her finger. She wore it around school and there were rumors going around that she was nothing but a whore. Tatsuki of course supported her and was happy for her, and Tatsuki was the only person other than Soi Fon who knew she was pregnant. She was going to tell Ichigo before she told anyone else.
"When we get to the house wake me up," Rukia said and leaned her head against the window and fell asleep.
Soi Fon was dressed in a tight black leather suit. The shoulders were bare and she had on black gloves that left the finger tips bare. She was holding an umbrella in her hands as she walked towards the hospital. The rain was coming down in hard sheets so thick she could barely see the hospital 30 feet in front of her. She walked in the door and shook the water from the umbrella before she closed it and walked to the elevator. She hit the button for the 3rd floor and rode the elevator to her stop.
She walked down the hall slowly, her braids swinging softly, the rings tied in them banging lightly against her hips. She walked through the door to Ichigo's room and sat in the chair that Rukia had recently vacated. It was still half warm and Soi Fon relaxed a bit.
"Ichigo," she called and he jerked awake and looked at her. "I'm leaving," Soi Fon said and lay ran a hand through his hair.
"Why?" he asked hoarsely and looked at her.
"Because I feel like I'm not welcome here anymore," Ichigo glared at her as she poured him a glass of water.
"And why do you feel that way?" Soi Fon folded her hands in her lap and looked down at them.
"You asked her to marry you," Soi Fon said and Ichigo sighed.
"Soi Fon I know where this is going and I am sorry. I don't love you like I used to. I love Rukia, with my whole being. I do love you Soi Fon, but it's a different kind of love. You're like a sister to me now," Ichigo waited as Soi Fon looked at her hands. There was a long pause before she spoke softly.
"What happened between us Ichigo? We had something, and then it just…disappeared."
"We went our separate ways. You remember the conversation we had when the group split apart?" he asked and her mind went to the past.
Ichigo stood in the shade of the trees and stared at the lake, hands in his pockets. Soi Fon walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Ichigo placed his hands on hers and sighed.
"You're leaving," he said simply and she nodded against his back.
"I want you to come with me," she said and he licked his lips.
"Tempting. Where are you going?"
"Everywhere," she said. "I'm going to continue being a soldier for hire," she said and he turned to her.
"Then I can't come with you," she blinked and frowned.
"Why not?" she asked and looked up at him.
"I'm training to be a cop Soi Fon," Ichigo said sternly. "How can I be a cop and be with a mercenary?"
"So you're breaking up with me?" Soi Fon asked softly and he nodded. She sighed and looked away from him. He placed a hand under her chin and lifted her face.
"It's better for both of us. What kind of relationship would it be? We'd be at each other's throats all the time," Ichigo said and she nodded, sniffling.
"Fine. Just remember that I love you Ichigo," she reached up and kissed his lips softly. He closed his eyes and stood still and let her kiss him but he didn't kiss her back. She pulled back with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Soi Fon," he said and turned back to the lake.
"Do me one favor at least please," she said and he looked over his shoulder at her. "Fuck me, just one last time. Right here," she said and he turned to face her fully.
"Why?" he asked and she looked him in the eyes. His eyes were hard as he looked at her.
"Please Ichigo, just one last time. I know that when I'm gone you'll find someone else eventually," Ichigo's eyes softened and he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her close to his body and he leaned down to kiss her.
"Fine. One last time," he said smiling softly and kissed her again. She kissed him back and he ran his warm tongue over her lips and she opened for him. Ichigo's tongue explored her mouth and she moaned. Ichigo laid her on the grass softly and his hands worked at the buttons on her blouse. He undid the last button and pushed the fabric apart and let his hands play over her purple bra.
His hands pushed her bra above her breasts and his fingers played with her nipples as he trailed kisses down her neck to the valley between her breasts. He ran his hands down her stomach to her pants and undid the button there, pulling the zipper down. Soi Fon kicked her jeans and panties off and wrapped her slender legs around his waist and locked her ankles together.
Ichigo leaned back and she came up with him. She ran her hands down his front and grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head. She threw the shirt down and kissed him running her hands down his chest and stomach to his pants. She undid the button and pulled down his pants and boxers. She grabbed his cock in her hand and stroked it gently. He hissed into her mouth as she stuck the head against her folds urging him on.
Ichigo slowly pushed into her and she moaned in pleasure. Ichigo started to thrust and Soi Fon reached up to kiss him. Soi Fon could feel her orgasm coming quickly and that's what she wanted. Ichigo would agree to almost anything after sex and the faster he finished her the more control she had over her mind and mouth. Ichigo kissed her roughly and reached down to thumb her clit, throwing her over the edge after just a few minutes. Ichigo groaned and shot his cum deep inside her pussy. Soi Fon went limp on the grass and tried to slow her racing heart.
Ichigo pulled out of her and lay down in the grass next to her. She curled up next to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Please stay with me Ichigo," she begged and he sighed. He sat up and pulled away from her. He reached over and grabbed his pants.
"Put your cloths on Soi Fon. We've already had this discussion," he pulled on his pants and boxers.
"Why not though?" she asked and pouted.
"I can't date a mercenary when I'm going to train as a cop," Ichigo said annoyed as he pulled on his shirt.
"Then don't train as a cop. We can leave this place. You're rich Ichigo. We can get married, and go on a long honeymoon," Ichigo looked at her and shook his head.
"If you want that then why don't you give up being a mercenary?" he asked and crossed his arms. Soi Fon knew by the scowl he was wearing that she had crossed a line.
"Because, it'd be much easy to stay a mercenary. I've already trained to be a soldier and you did as well. Doesn't it make sense-"she said as she pulled her bra back down and started to rebutton her blouse.
"No it doesn't," Ichigo said cutting her off. "Why do I have to give up what I want to do yet you don't? When you decide how it's fair and if you can come up with a compromise then I'll consider coming with you," Ichigo started to walk back to the house when Soi Fon ran in front of him and stopped him.
"You're right, it's not fair. But please consider it," she said and looked him in the eyes.
"I've given you my answer," Ichigo said and Soi Fon stood up on her toes to kiss him softly. When she was done with the brief kiss she settled back down and patted Ichigo's forearm.
"If you ever need any help, don't hesitate to call me. I'll always come to your aid," she walked off and picked up her cloths.
"Yes I remember. You remember my offer? It still stands," Soi Fon said and Ichigo glared at her.
"I'm getting married Soi Fon!" Ichigo shouted and she looked away.
"I understand," she said and stood up. "Goodbye Ichigo," she kissed his cheek and walked from the room. She heard Ichigo call after her but she kept walking down the hall. She walked out the front door and into the rain. The freezing drops where big and quickly soaked her to the bone. She shivered and looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Goodbye Ichigo," she whispered and jogged off into the night.
Three Weeks after Rescue-
Ichigo lay in the hospital bed, both his legs were covered in casts and hanging in slings at the end of the bed. He looked down at his hands which were also held in casts. He was in pain, but didn't want any pain killers because Rukia was coming to visit.
"Please, let us give you some morphine," one of the nurses said and Ichigo glared at her.
"You've been giving me morphine and pain pills the last few weeks. I'm asleep when my girlfriend comes to visit. For once I'm not going to be asleep," Ichigo said and a doctor came in.
"We'll just give you a bit of morphine. Not enough to knock you out but enough to at least dull the pain," Ichigo winced as his hands wanted to curl into fists, but couldn't.
"I'm fine. I endured the torture then, so I'll do it now," he said and looked passed the doctor and nurse to the door. Rukia looked him in the eyes and dropped her bag to the floor in surprise.
"You're awake," she gasped and rushed over to him. She pulled up a chair and sat next to him. Ichigo smiled and held out his hand to her. She took his hand lightly and saw him wince. "Sorry," she let go of his hand and he raised his eyebrow.
"I'm not that fragile Rukia," he said and she took his hand again.
"I'm glad to see that you're awake after three weeks of a coma," Rukia said and Ichigo glared at the doctor.
"I wasn't in a coma, Rukia. They kept giving me pain pills to knock me out," Rukia glared over her shoulder at the doctor.
"Do you mind? I want to talk to Ichigo alone," she said putting emphasis on 'alone'.
"Fine, but don't blame me when he passes out from pain," the doctor snapped and left the room.
"Look Ichigo, if you need pain pills-"
"Shut up and kiss me," he said and leaned up to her. She smiled and leaned down to kiss him lightly.
"I've been waiting to talk to you Ichigo. There are some things that you need to know. So, I have good news, great news, bad news, more bad news, and awesome news," she said and leaned back to sit in her chair.
"Oh? Like what?"
"Well, the good news is that during our rescue we captured Gin and put him in prison. The great news is that I after the rescue I got a present," Ichigo raised his eyebrows and she held up her right hand and smiled. Ichigo's mouth dropped open and then he smiled brightly.
"You accepted," he said softly and she nodded.
"Of course I accepted," she said and put her hand down on the back of his.
"What else?" he asked a smile still on his face. Rukia frowned and looked out the window.
"About two weeks ago Gin went on trial, but Aizen, Orihime, Tosen, and a few gang members attacked the court house and rescued Gin. The cops killed the two gang members but the others have disappeared and that would of course be the bad news," Ichigo sighed and shook his head. "The judge was also found nailed to a wall," Ichigo looked up at her in surprise and then frowned.
"Well that is a bit of bad news. So what's the awesome news," this time Rukia folded her hands and set them in her lap. She blushed and looked down at them.
"Well, it's awesome to me," she said quietly and Ichigo blinked.
"What is it?" he asked and she sniffed.
"I'm pregnant," she whispered, her head was down so she missed the look of shock that crossed his face for a brief second before a smile appeared and he leaned closer.
"What? I couldn't hear you," he said and she shook her head.
"I'm pregnant," she said again a little louder and Ichigo leaned away.
"I still can't hear you," he said and smiled as she looked up and screamed at him.
"I'M PREGNANT!" Rukia took deep breaths as she tried to calm down. She saw Ichigo laying there smiling at her and she turned a dark red and stood up. "You heard me the first time and you still made me repeat myself?"
"Exactly," Ichigo said and smiled. Rukia calmed down enough after a few moments to see the smile and she grinned.
"You're not mad?" she asked and sat down again. Ichigo smiled and shook his head.
"Why would I be mad?" he asked.
"Well, we never talked about having kids. Not to mention I'm only 18," Rukia said calmly.
"Well, you'll be 19 in a few months, so when you give birth you'll be 19 right?" Rukia nodded. "So what's the problem?" he asked and she sighed.
"We'll talk when you're feeling better," she said and stood up.
"Sit down Rukia," Ichigo said sternly and she sat down. "Now, what's the problem? Why were you afraid to tell me that you were pregnant?"
"I was afraid that you wouldn't want me. I was afraid that you would leave me because I can't have sex anymore until after I give birth," Ichigo stared at her then laughed and she glared at him.
"What's so funny?" she almost yelled, turning red again.
"You are. I'm not with you to use you as a sex toy then leave you. I'm here to stay Rukia, because I love you. I will not leave you under my own free will, I swear," Ichigo said with a smile.
"Thank you Ichigo," she said and kissed him lightly. "I'm sorry," Ichigo blinked and opened his mouth when he suddenly felt no pain. He looked down and saw her finger on the button to the pain medicine.
"But…Rukia."
"Shh," she stroked his hair. "Just go to sleep Ichigo. I love you," she whispered in his ear as he tried to keep his eyes open.
"I…love…you too," Ichigo said, his eyes were closed and he started snoring softly. Rukia leaned back in the chair and pulled out some books to do her homework. She looked down and placed a hand on her stomach and smiled.
Hope you liked the chapter everybody. I'm trying real hard to explain some of the back story to make everything clear and bring the story together. And yes, I have started to bring in the Espada, though they won't make a real prominent appearance until the sequel.
So until next weekend with the next update, with love…Daslaer
