AN: Hi guys! Sorry for the absence, life gets in the way of me doing things I'm sorry. My Winterguard season is almost over, however! So I will have time. Sorry if this is a little shitty, I've had a migraine for four days straight. I drew Masaki, btw. If you follow me on Tumblr I posted it there. I'll probably re-draw when my head isn't pounding. I've been working on this for a couple of weeks so hopefully it's good enough!
I uploaded this from my phone so forgive anything odd. When I can I will fix it on my computer.
Disclaimer: I own not an inch of Bleach. Nothin'
But The kiddos are my idea!
Shiro grunted, taking the hit from Grimmjow's blade and spinning to meet Ulquiorra's. The sidelines held the other Espadas that had joined them in the human world and now we're sparring. They watched as the Cero took on the Sexta and Cuatro Espada. The Shinigami had gone back to Soul Society for a meeting and to regroup, so at the moments the Arrancar were in charge of keeping everyone safe. Which was a huge leep of faith seeing that some of the captains hated the Arrancar still.
Shiro was pushed back by the two Espada. "Stop holding back!" Nnitora yelled. "Shut up!" Shiro growled and lept back from a slash from Ulquiorra.
He had given everyone a chance at him and aloud some hits. He was taking hits from each of his Espada as a sorry, even if some didn't agree with it. This time he around he let two at him at once. Shiro got distracted by a patch of orange walking to the session, Ichigo was out of bed and the sudden distraction sent him flying in the closest rock. "Distracted so easily." Szayel commented and Shiro rolled his eyes, rolling the shoulder that took the brunt of the hit.
"Ichi what are ya doing out of bed." This caught the attention of Nel and she glared at the substitute Shinigami. "Yoruichi is gonna fry you." "I'm fine, She said I should get up and walk around" "and that was cause for coming down here?" Stark inquired, sounding slightly concerned but also bored.
Ichigo scowled "I wanted to see what was going on. I have a few stitches, I've had worse." "You also just gave birth to two babies a month early." Halibel added, crossing her arms. Ichigo sighed and sat down. "I'm just restless alright?"
Nel walked over and plopped down in front of her friend and smiled softly. "I know you're eager to fight but you gotta let yourself heal, it's been five days Ichigo." Ichigo sighed and lifted his shirt to show the stitches had started to disappear* and it was adding to the older scar. Shiro's eyes widen and he walked over. "How the hell is it already disappearing?"
Ichigo chuckled softly. "You act like its something new." Ichigo's eyes narrowed at the bruise Shiro had on his jaw but didn't question it. "The boys asleep?" Shiro said, taking a seat.
Grimmjow huffed at the loss of opponent, prompting Ulquiorra to throw his sword out, almost cutting his nose. Nel looked amused and got up, locking blades with the blue haired man to keep him entertained. Ulquiorra took the opportunity to sit down next to the group, leaning against a rock. The sound of battle became background noise, some watching while others didn't care. Nnitora laughed when Grimmjow was thrown on his ass by a blow from Nel.
Ichigo took Shiro's face in his hands and inspected the black bruise on his normally hard to bruise skin. "It's fine I-" "Shush." Shiro shut his mouth and let the orangette observe it, Ichigo let go after he was pleased. "You keep letting people hit you, why?" "It's an apology." Shiro supplied and Ichigo sighed softly and took the albino's hand.
"Stop that, you hear me?" The man kissed his Cero's hand then made eye contact with him. "If you keep hanging onto it, you will never move on. You taught me that. So, stop being me."
Shiro smirked at him and then grinned "I taught ya tha', huh?" Ichigo rolled his eyes and poked the man's chest. "Don't get cocky." "To late~"
Ichigo let a smile come to his lips, not caring that they were still at war for a moment and letting the worries slip away, letting himself relax for a moment. Shiro leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "But ya never answered my question, are the boys asleep?" "Yeah, Masaki is with Dad and they went to get her something to draw on." Shiro tensed slightly at the mention of them going out.
Ichigo caught it. "They'll be fine, Dad has Kon this time is something happens." Shiro nodded then burst into laughter at the idea of Kon in Isshin's body. Ichigo was terrified by the thought. Shiro quieted down and sighed.
"She's still scared of me, Ichi." "I talked to her, she said she forgives you. I think she's just trying to take everything in still Shi. She saw your soul form and it wasn't that great of a first experience. She's gonna come around, just give her time."
Shiro nodded. "I think after this is all over she should see everyone's soul forms." Shiro said, Ichigo nodded and looked at the group who were once his enemies. "I think so too." "..because I'm damned sure she's gonna start showing signs soon." Ichigo nodded.
After a moment of thoughtful silence, a thought came to Ichigo. "Hey, you guys haven't seen the boys have you?" He looked up at the Espada who looked down at the man. "No, we haven't, but I'd love too." Szayel said and pushed his glasses up.
A loud 'oof' from behind Shiro got his attention. Nel was seated on top of Grimmjow, who had his back on the ground and she laughed, leaning down and kissing him. "I win, kitty." Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah."
Ichigo got up at that point, chuckling. "I'm gonna head back up." "Can we go?" Someone asked from the group of the Espada's. The group looked from Ichigo to Shiro. Ichigo looked at all of them then his husband.
Shiro chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, get your gigai's on first." Ulquiorra had a look of slight relief pass on his face, catching the attention of the group. "Woah." Nnitora said then grinned widely. "You showed emotions."
"Shut up Nnitora." Nel challenged and Nnitora looked at her. "Wanna go?" Nel smiled "Sure, some other time I can beat you."
Ichigo looked at Grimmjow. "Congratulations, you ruined Nel." "Huh?! I did not." Shiro snorted, having gotten into his gigai. "Riiight." Shiro laughed at the look Grimmjow gave him.
Ulquiorra started walking to he ladder. "Ey! Wait up!"
Upstairs, They found Orihime cooking. Everyone froze, Shiro finding an escape when he heard one of the boys begin to cry. He couldn't have disappeared fast enough and Ichigo glared at the spot that originally held the albino. The woman turned around and smiled widely, hand on her stomach. "Hi guys!"
Ulquiorra went over and kissed her temple gently. Orihime smiled and giggled. There then was a wave of understanding through the group, well the few that were..slow. Ichigo looked at Orihime and Ulquiorra knowingly, the closer the date got it seemed the clingier your husband got, if they were Arrancar. Shiro hadn't been around so they didn't get to see that side of the albino again.
Shiro walked out with the two babies, catching everyone's attention. Kaito was whimpering, Ichigo walked over and looked at his sons, seeing Ryuu's lip was quivering. Ichigo smiled softly and took Kaito from Shiro. The room had gone silent to watch them, Shiro chuckled at the silence. Shiro made the blunge into the small kitchen of the shop and got into the fridge.
"Hand me one." Ichigo told him, he nodded and grabbed one, putting it on the table not far from the fridge and grabbing another one. Ichigo walked over and grabbed the other one, taking the bottle and giving it to Kaito to him gently. Shiro followed the same with Ryuu, grinning. "Aww, look at the two of you." Orihime cooed.
They both looked up, she was smiling and you could see the excitement behind her eyes, Ulquiorra watched from next to her. Isshin walked in with a giggling Masaki, she was clutching a drawing pad and some markers. The two men holding the twins looked over, Ichigo rolling his yes at his fathers antics. "Welcome back" Ichigo said and Masaki looked up at her parents. "Looks what Grandpa got me!" She held up the new items with pride.
"Tha' looks really cool, squirt." Shiro said to her, she looked at the albino and smiled softly. "Yeah!" Ichigo sighed softly in relief, Shiro visibly brightened at this. Ichigo looked at the group in the kitchen, he walked over to Halibel and silent asked if she wanted to hold Kaito.
The small albino watched this, having finished his bottle when his sister arrived in favor of looking around curiously. Halibel smiled softly, though it wasn't seen easily due to the scarf her gigai wore. The little boy stared at her puzzled and then looked around at the group that had given Kaito their undivided attention. Masaki giggled at the look her baby brother gave and then she looked at her other brother who cooed at the gain of his fathers pale finger. Shiro grinned at him.
Masaki felt safe, she felt happy as she looked around the room. Soon, Rukia, Renji, Karin, Jinta and Yuzu came into the shop and joined them as they ate the food (due to the beaming woman and her husband that dared anyone to bail.) Ichigo sensed they had stuff to discuss but he was more concerned with the fact his family was together. "Where's Toshiro?" "He stayed behind to get something's done in Soul Society."
Masaki looked at the adults, interested. "Soul Society?" Ichigo looked at his daughter, everyone holding a breath. Isshin watched his son. Ichigo smiled softly and nodded. "Mhm, I'll explain it more later honey."
"Really?" "Really." Masaki smiled and Shiro smirked, kissing Ichigo's cheek.
Arsen stared at the wall, he had been pissed when he found out they had lost the bond with Shirosaki. He was meant to be the one to deliver the girl to him. He needed him and his daughters hollow, which she has. He could sense it, even if it lay dormant. He needed it to gain the upper hand.
He shifted his attention to the door when Ayumu walked in. "Brother, when are we going to take action?" He sat in a chair and tapped thoughtfully on the arm. "Soon." Ayumu huffed.
"Is there a problem?" "Well, I think we should strike now, we can go after the..new additions. They could be useful, we could raise them after we slaughter the Espada and Shinigami." Arsen looked at Ayumu, impressed. "You continue to exceed me expectations. We'll strike in two days. Get the pets ready, you will go and confront the people that will more than likely be stationed to watch the children." "Won't Ichigo be there?" "Yes, but I doubt he's ready to fight. Anyone else shouldn't be an issue."
Ayumu smiled and nodded
"Yes brother"
Ichigo and Shiro laid in bed it was the middle of the night and they had just got done putting the twins down again. Downside of Twins, when one starts crying, the other does too. Ichigo was curled up to Shiro, who was holding Ichigo. "How's your incision?" "Dad said it was healing well, it's just tender really."
Shiro hmm'd and buried his face in the his hair. "He's gonna come soon." "I know..the others will be back soon." "I still don' think you should fight." "Shiro.."
"I'm serious Ichi, it may be healed but ya need to rest not strain yourself." Ichigo sighed and nodded. "I'm restless, Shi." "I know, but you can Hollow hunt again soon. Szayel said tha' the "demons" are gonna stick around even after Arsen and his sidekick are gone." "How did he figure that out?"
Shiro shrugged. "He said somethin' about it being more of an infection for the lower level hollows. So after this is all over there will probably be a squad for that cause I know I'll have some fraccíon workin on it." Ichigo nodded. "Alright..I'm worried about Arsen more than anything else." "Ditto."
Ichigo raises a brow, pulling away and giving him a strange look. "Ditto?" "Mhm" Shiro grinned. "You're such a dork, go to sleep."
Shiro laughed. "But I'm your dork~" "Yeah, Yeah." Ichigo moved closed to Shiro, shivering. Shiro smirked, Ichigo didn't like the winter. Not just due to the past but he just hated cold things.
So naturally at home there was a pile of blankets on their bed and Ichigo always pressed to Shiro. They weren't home right now, however so Ichigo was clinging to his husband. Shiro rubbed his arms and back, making sure he had a blanket covering every inch of him. He didn't care if he was cold, it was funny because he hated behind hot. He preferred being cold than being a sweaty mess.
Only time that was aloud was in training, battle or alone time with Ichigo.
Ichigo hummed softly, closing his eyes and falling asleep. Shiro kissed his head after seeing he was asleep and soon followed.
AN: Awe, Hichiichi Fluff. Anyway, I estimate this will have two or three more chapters before I start on the sequel. I probably won't start that until I have writers block or finish Fate Bound. It's going to be basically the kids older, Masaki, Kaito and Ryuu's life being not so Normal and how Shiro and Ichi deal with it.
ALSO I'm slowly getting the chapters up for this on Wattpad and once I do, update along with , same name and my author name is the same
Review! Favorite! Follow! Critique!
*= There is a type of thread or whatever they use for stitching that falls away or..disappears on its own. I've had it, it's so they don't have to go in and remove it again. Sorry I couldn't think of the words for it, oh well
That's all my little Hollow's, See Ya next time!
