Chapter Eleven Close Call, the kiss, and Mommy

My jaw tensed, I didn't like this guy. This Aizen Sosuke guy and I could tell the small girl behind me didn't like him either because she was clutching the back of my school uniform.

"Why do you want----" I started but was interrupted by my old man, who for once in his life was serious.

"Ichigo, let me handle this." He said in a calm, cold, monotone voice a voice I never once heard from my old man. Numbingly I nodded my head.

"If you would be so kind as to leave my property, Sosuke-san." My father said in the same tone of voice he was talking to me in, I felt Rukia clutch my uniform tighter and I heard her gasp a little I could tell she was surprised with how my father is acting. Sosuke smiled in a creepy like way.

"Of course, but I will be back." He said as he stood up and left, passing by both Rukia and I with a glance. After he left through the door I felt more weight against my back. I turned my head, getting out of the defensive position that I took and what I saw made me panic inwardly. I saw Rukia leaning up against me, her whole body looked as though it was about to collapse. So I slowly turned around and put my arms around her in a hug like fashion.

"Rukia, are you ok?" I asked her as we slowly make our way to the floor, I could feel her whole body shaking.

"Aiko, Keitaro, we…..we…I….you….we almost lost them Ichigo!" She said in a whisper. That's when I realized that what she said was true, I had almost lost them, if I opened my mouth. My dad saved us, saved Keitaro and Aiko, I felt myself wanting to shake but I couldn't, Rukia needs me to be strong and I need to be strong in front of my father.

"Ichigo take Rukia up to your room." My father said in the same cold voice as before. I nodded and brought the petite girl into my arms, I stood up and walked to my room. When I got to my room, I opened the door with some difficulty but I still got it open and when I entered my room I shut the door behind me with my foot and I placed the small girl on my bed. I was about to get up but Rukia wouldn't let me go.

"Please Ichigo, don't leave me alone. I know this is silly but with the amount of time I've spent with those kids, I actually feel like their apart of my family." She started to blush even though she had tears pricking at her eyes. "I feel like we're just a small little family." She clutched at my school jacket, harder than before. "And I don't want that to go away, I like that feeling." She mumbled the last part into my jacket, I now was lying next to her and I could feel myself smiling a bit.

"I know what you mean, I feel the same way Rukia I really do." I said as I looked down at the girl, she looked up at me too and we both smiled and looked into each other's eyes. I never noticed how blue-violet her eyes were, and just how much emotion you could actually see in them if you looked. I felt my eyes drop and I tilted my head down to go to her level, the blankets under me crinkled as I leaned over, I felt my pulse speed up as we both drew closer. I finally closed my eyes all the way and I felt our lips touch, it felt like a lightning bolt coursing through my body this was defiantly a feeling I wanted to feel again. I jumped slightly as I felt Rukia's tongue glide across my lips, I opened my mouth a bit seeing if this is what she wanted and it was I felt her tongue glide into my mouth, so I did the same to her. Rukia tightened her grip on me and I did the same to her, suddenly a knock was at my door, and we both broke apart as though we were just informed we had the plague.

"Wh----What?!" I tried to yell, but I was to out of breath to actually yell.

"Your kids are back Ichigo!" My dad said, he was back to his usual self.

"Alright." I said back, I then turned to the girl. "Rukia, what are we," I started, but she only shook her head.

"We'll talk later Ichigo; right now let's spend as much time with the twins as possible." She said as she got up off the bed, the previous happenings not crossing her face. I smiled and nodded, happy we didn't need to face anything right now, after what just happened really had my emotions all dis-configured. I walked to my door and opened it, immediately I was thrown to the floor by two little bodies.

"Daddy!" Aiko and Keitaro yelled as they pounced on me, tiny backpacks on their small backs. Aiko had a small bright pink backpack with little white bunnies all over it, while Keitaro had a light blue backpack with little green airplanes.

"Hi to you too. So how was your first day in pre-school?" I asked as I sat up, wrapping one of my arms around each of them as I did that. Aiko brightened up as she heard those words come out of my mouth and she began to wiggle out of my embrace, but just to have fun I tightened my hold on her.

"Daddy! Let go of me!" Aiko said as she pouted and stared up at me with her violet eyes. I chuckled she looked like a miniature Rukia, she must have learned that trick from Rukia. So I let her go. Aiko giggled as she walked over to Rukia, and I saw Rukia wink towards Aiko.

"I told you that trick would work, didn't I?" She giggled as she tried to whisper to Aiko, but she should realize that she will never be able to whisper for her life.

"Hehe yup!"Aiko said also trying to whisper, but she is almost exactly like Rukia. "Here you go Rukia! I made it in school." Aiko said as she took off her backpack and took out a piece of paper, on the piece of paper from what I could see is that it had four stick people one with orange hair, and three with black hair. "See this is Daddy." Aiko said as she she pointed to the tallest one and the only one who has the orange hair. "This is you." She said as she pointed to the second tallest and the first one with black hair. "And this is me and Kei-kun." She said as she pointed to the two smallest ones, the only difference was one had spiky hair and the other had longer hair. Then Aiko started to bit her lip nervously, and started to fidget. I felt a tug on my jacket and looked down to see Keitaro staring up at me; he pulled me closer to him.

"Daddy," Keitaro whispered in my ear. "Do you think Rukia will accept?" I pulled away a little bit and only looked at him with a raised eye brow, he pulled me in again. "Do you think Rukia will want to be our mommy?" He whispered again, and I felt a smile grace my lips, and I hugged him while saying:

"Yes Keitaro, yes." He laughed as quietly as he could. Behind my back I felt Keitaro raise his hand.

"Rukia," I heard Aiko begin, "Uh…. Do you think…..do you think that… uh maybe you would…… uh… Can we, me and Keitaro, call you mommy?" Aiko said as she fidgeted some more. I looked at Rukia and as soon as I did she looked at me, I could see her violet eyes shining in happiness and her face broke into a smile.

"I would love it Aiko, Keitaro." She said as she broke her gaze with me and stared at Aiko, who launched herself at Rukia.

"Mommy!" Aiko yelled as she launched herself onto Rukia, who in return giggled. I then got an idea I pulled Keitaro to me and whispered in his ear again. After we parted Keitaro had a wide smile over his face.

"Mommy, since you are our new mommy. Do you think we could go to the park, as a family?" Keitaro said as he climbed onto my bed and sat in front of Rukia. The said girl's eyes widened but then a smile slide across her face.

"Of course Keitaro, hey why don't we make it into a picnic! We can make it a huge family one, we can have your family, and my family. Oh can we Ichigo? Please?" Rukia said as she stared at me, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Sure Rukia, were going to need to get the band together this weekend." Rukia huffed.

"Why?" Rukia said, but then brightened up. "Let's talk about this later I wanna go to the park and spend the day there." I sighed.

"Rukia, Yuzu and Karin are at school." Rukia blinked, and started to pout.

"When do they come home?"

"In a----" I was cut off when I heard the door opened and heard Yuzu great our father. "They're here." Rukia brightened up and immediately raced down the stairs. "Don't worry Keitaro, Aiko we'll go to the park!" Rukia yelled as she raced out of my room. I chuckled and stared at the twins who were now staring at me. I raised an eyebrow.

Aiko giggled "Daddy, do you like mommy?" I raised an eyebrow again.

"Of course, she's a good friend of course I like her." I said finally getting off the floor, I walked to the bed.

"That's not what I meant daddy." Aiko pouted and put her hands on her hips. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"You're too young to think about that stuff."

"We are going to the park!" Rukia exclaimed as she ran into my room and jumped on the bed that was occupying the twins and me.

"Hurry up Daddy!" Keitaro yelled I chuckled, but didn't hurry my pace; I liked watching from a far, both my families interacting my father and my two sisters and the twins. Yuzu was chasing Keitaro around both of them were laughing and giggling. Karin was chatting with Aiko and they kept passing around the soccer ball Karin brought with her, while my dad was just mixing in with it all. I heard Rukia sigh next to me I looked over at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I slowed my pace even more, Rukia looked shocked.

"Nothing, I just happy, but also a little sad that my parents couldn't make---" I looked at her face to see a surprised happy smile on her face. "Mother! Father!" She yelled as she took off running, I looked over to where she was running to see a couple, both with black hair the woman was wearing a pure white dress, while the man was wearing an all black suit. I continued my walking but at a slow pace to wait for her to catch up to me again. After a few minutes she runs up to me and we continue to walk in silence. I begin to think back to the kiss, I ran my hands through my orange hair I didn't know that just kissing someone, especially Rukia could bring those emotions through my body. It's actually, really nice. I left my body tense as I felt my hand being grabbed; I looked down to see a pale blush on Rukia's face and I saw our hands connected. I felt a smile spread across my face and squeezed her hand. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Rukia look at me with surprise, I turned towards her and smiled her eyes widened even more but she to smiled. A silent message passed through my eyes to hers, she got the message to because her smile widened and she said:

"Yea Ichigo I agree, I truly agree."
