A week later….
Karakura High Rooftop
Ichigo lay on his back and watched the clouds pass by. School had just let out but he found the quietness of the rooftop to be soothing. Unohana had finally taken her claws out of him and he was pretty sure that he didn't have anything left in his balls. The SWA let Ichigo have a reprive from his special duties in order to let him recharge his batteries.
Closing his eyes, Ichigo embraced the serene calm of the afternoon air, taking slow, deep breaths. His head was reclined by his backpack, keeping him from laying completely on the cold asphalt. He listened to the sounds of the town around him and breathed easy, happy for the reprieve he'd gotten.
When he opened his eyes, however, the reprieve was over….
"Hi'ya, Ichi!" Yachiru greeted. She was sitting next to Ichigo, looking down at the boy who'd gotten her pregnant happily. "What are you doing?"
"Resting," Ichigo said as he sat up. He grumbled something under his breath as he looked at the full-grown pinkette. He wondered how she was going to react when she had her baby and shrunk back down to her child size. "Yachiru, I uh, don't think this is the time for a quickie."
Yachiru shrugged and scooted closer to Ichigo. "That's okay. I needed to get away from Kenny for the day. He's been getting grumpier more and more for some reason."
Ichigo would've pointed out that the "some reason" was that Kenpachi's daughter was about to have a baby but decided not to. "Oh, okay then." He laid back down and sighed as he stared back up at the clouds, only to look over to Yachiru who laid down next to him. "Yachiru, what are you doing?"
The pregnant pinkette smiled as she laid her head on his shoulder. "Cuddling. I like it when we cuddle, like we did when you had your turn with Captain Unohana," she said, sighing as Ichigo's warmth slipped into her.
'Yeah, amongst other things…' Ichigo thought with a shiver.
Clouds passed over them as Yachiru and Ichigo laid together. It was actually quite touching for Ichigo, who was too used to having a woman glued to him for more intimate reasons. Deciding that maybe he should just enjoy the moment, he reached around her and ran a hand through her pink hair. In response Yachiru, snuggled closer to him, rubbing a hand on her pregnant belly and feeling the baby inside her kick.
It was a touching scene, which made it all the more fitting when they were interrupted in the worst of ways.
"ICHIGO!" Keigo shouted as he, Mizuro, Tatsuki, Chad, Michiru and Mahana walked through the school door. "Why are you lying on the school roof…with…a…girl…." Keigo's eyes widened in complete disbelief at the scene.
Ichigo curse himself. He'd told Orihime, Chad, Uryu and Tatsuki about his little assignment but he'd neglected to tell the others for obvious reasons. "Um…hi guys." He got to his feet and helped Yachiru up since she needed help thanks to her baby. "Tatsuki, Keigo, Michiru, Mahana, meet Yachiru Kusajishi. She's…um…a friend of mine."
Tatsuki raised an eyebrow in response, knowing that this was one of his Soul Reaper buddies. Like Orihime she wasn't exactly okay with what Ichigo was doing but took solace in knowing that this was way out of his control.
Keigo and the others were in sheer shock, however, to see Ichigo with a woman who looked in her twenties. All eyes turned downward towards her stomach and Mizuro asked the obvious. "So, Miss Kusajishi, you're expecting?"
"Yep!" Before Ichigo could stop her she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. "Ichi's the daddy!"
The gang, minus Chad and Tatsuki, all had their jaws hit the floor at the statement. "ICHIGO! YOU GOT HER PREGNANT?!" Keigo shouted. Both of the brunettes behind him all gasped and turned red at the notion of Ichigo in bed with this woman.
"Heehee!" Yachiru giggled, refusing to let go of Ichigo. "Yep! And not just me! There's Rangiku, Rukia, Momo, Isane, Kiyone-"
She stopped when Keigo walked over to Ichigo and got down on his knees, bowing before him. "You are a god, Ichigo! A god!" he proclaimed as he continued bowing.
Ichigo merely facepalmed. 'And that's why I don't like having Yachiru around….'
