AN:

So this is the last official chapter of this story. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I'm in the early stages of writing the next and final (hopefully) installment to this series, The Result of Greed. I believe that story is gonna be the BEST out of them all. Idk about ya'll but I'm excited about it. So enjoy because this chapter and the epilogue to follow will give some key information that you might want to remember for the next story.

Well… without further ado… I present you… The Final Chapter…

Rai, Byakuya, and Renji did not know any other way to get inside of the Main House so they thought that they would take a leap of faith and go through the Main Entrance.

Yes, right through the front gate.

The worst thing that could happen was that they would be imprisoned. But at least they would be in the Main House. And once word got to Reizo that they were there… who knew what could happen.

Rai, Byakuya, and Renji approached the front gate. A camera that had been attached to the wall nearby was heard, zooming in. The three of them stared straight into the lens of the camera, without a single flinch.

"Give me a moment," a woman's voice was heard through a intercom. The gate opened shortly afterwards. Rai, Byakuya, and Renji shared a look of hesitance but decided that it was worth giving it a try.

As soon as they walked through the gate, the front door opened and Yoruichi ran out to meet them.

"I did not think you would ever make it. Quickly, follow me," she said not giving them a moment to ask any questions.

The four of them silently rushed through the Main House. All the way until they arrived to their destination.

"The Council Room?" Byakuya asked. Yoruichi nodded her head.

"Just go. I would not bring you here for nothing," she told them. They walked into the room, to find Rukia and Reizo talking. When Reizo's eyes connected with Renji's… his whole demeanor changed.

"Father?" Reizo asked, recognizing him instantly. How could he not? Reizo was the spitting image of Renji, except with darker hair. Reizo did not know what to do. Nor did Renji.

"Well, aren't you going to at least hug your son?" Rukia asked. Renji's body would not move. For twenty years, he had not seen his only child. Right now, he was in a state of shock. He could not get over seeing him.

Byakuya gave him a slight push. Renji turned to looked at him. Both him and Rai nodded their heads. Renji moved then.

He walked all the way to where Reizo stood. And he continued to stare at him.

"Can you ever forgive me?" Renji asked, at a low whisper. Reizo nodded his head once and Renji grabbed him into a huge bear hug. When the embrace was completed, Reizo could only stare back and forth between his mother and father. He could not believe his own eyes.

"Hi," Rai said, extending his hand to Reizo. He and Byakuya had managed to walk where everyone else was standing. Since this their first time really laying eyes on each other, it called for a proper introduction.

Reizo extended his hand out to grab Rai's and shake it. "You must be Rai Kurosaki."

"And you must be Reizo Kuchiki. Nice to finally meet you," Rai said.

"Likewise," Reizo said, slightly nodding his head.

"Just great, my son and stepson have never met. And you would think that through all this drama, they would have been bumped heads by now." Everyone's attention turned towards the new voice. Rukia moved away from everyone to run to Ichigo. She jumped into his arms, taking him off guard a bit and gave him a deep, passionate kiss since she had missed him so much.

"Okay, I think that's enough, mother," Yoi said, walking in behind the kissing love birds, with Yoruichi at her side. Yoi actually had on the original clothes she wore when first breaking into the Main House, which was a very good thing for everyone.

"Yoruichi, I can only assume…"

"Yes, I took many liberties today. But I did not see where you could possibly disagree with anything that I have done," Yoruichi explained.

"You're right, I don't disagree at all," Reizo said, looking around at his family.

"You shouldn't. But I do." Only one person would say that.

Ginrei.

Everyone was in defense mode.

"But since everyone is here, I guess that mean's Reizo's play time is over. It's time to do what I want done," Ginrei stated. He came into the Council Room through another entrance that no one had been paying attention to.

"You keep saying that. You keep saying that you need me to do things for you but never once have you told me what you need done. So as Head of this Clan, I'm going to have to decline what ever it is that you want done. My life is getting back in order right now and I know how you can be, Ginrei. I don't have time for this. You either accept that I run this or get out," Reizo said, walking slowly towards Ginrei.

Ginrei let off a giant laugh, making everyone mad.

"What's so funny?" Ichigo asked.

"Don't you get it? If it had not been for me, you would never be here, standing before any of us now. It was I who made your parents marry so they could produce such a special child as yourself. You have the Powers of the Shinigami, so you the rightful head of ALL the clans now. Not just the Kuchiki clan. For several generations, we have not had the power we deserved and now it is finally ours. And there are some things that I want accomplished and done," Ginrei declared.

Without a second to breathe, Reizo punched the hell out of Ginrei. And he placed so much power into the punch, that Ginrei flew to the opposite side of the room. Reizo flash stepped to Ginrei's position and looked down on him.

"Fuck… you…" Reizo whispered so only Ginrei could hear. He knew Ginrei was still alive and conscious. He might have thrown him hard, but he didn't do it hard enough to kill him.

Though he should have.

"You've ruined the lives of many people in this room for the benefit of you. And I'm not gonna allow it anymore. Either get your shit and get out. Or die. Your choice. Make it good," Reizo told Ginrei. Ginrei stared Reizo as if he didn't hear him.

"I don't think he understood you, son," Renji said, appearing beside Reizo. He look at Renji and shook his head.

"I don't think he did either," Reizo confirmed. He grabbed Ginrei by the throat and lifted his body up from the ground, slightly choking him. "I said… get out or die."

"O-ok-kay," Ginrei sputtered out. "I will l-le-leave."

Reizo dropped him to the ground and smiled. "I guess that was a wise choice. Yoruichi, have a few men accompany him to make sure he gets his things and gets the hell away the Kuchiki Main House. He's not welcomed here anymore."

Ginrei stood up and shook his head. "You're making a mistake," he said as he rubbed his bruising neck.

"Oh well. Then it's my mistake to make," Reizo stated.

Yoruichi walked beside Ginrei as he made his way of the room.

"Wow," Rukia stated. "Wait, what was Ginrei talking about when he mention you have the Powers of the Shinigami?"

"Rukia, let me explain," Byakuya spoke up and gave everyone in the room the full story. The real story.

"So you mean that all this time…" Ichigo said, trailing off into thought.

"I WISH I HAD KNOWN THIS BEFORE YOU TOLD GINREI TO GET OUT! I WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM!" Rukia shouted. She was heated now.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. What's important now is that all this drama and mess has been resolved. We should not have anymore problems any time soon," Rai spoke up. Rukia nodded her head but she was still mad.

"So what do we do now?" Yoi asked.

"What else is there to do? We make this dysfunctional family right. For years, we've been fighting and searching. Now it is time to just make things right," Ichigo declared.

"I agree," both Reizo and Renji said at the same time, with everyone else nodding their heads in agreement.

With that said, everyone made up in their hearts and minds that they were going to bond and grow into one big family.

Like it should have been from the beginning.

-J-

Ginrei was push forward. And since his hands were tied behind his back and his face was covered, he could not balanced his body properly before falling to the ground.

"I'm very disappointed in you, Ginrei. You said you could deliver to your word and it looks as if your word is no good anymore," a very calmed voice said to Ginrei. Ginrei began to panic, mentally. He knew from the start that these characters were nothing to play with. But he never anticipated on Reizo going against him like that.

"I cannot help that Reizo has learned the truth about his origins and how he came about. But the boy is powerful, I cannot deny that," Ginrei said, remaining calm.

"It doesn't matter," the calm man said. "You can't deliver." The covering over Ginrei's head was snatched off and he found himself in a dark room with only two other men. One was a man Ginrei was very familiar with.

Sosuke Aizen.

The other was a man with icy blue hair and eyes the color to match.

Ginrei had never seen him around in his dealings with Aizen, so he assumed that he was young and newer to the group.

"Grimmjow, kill him," Aizen commanded, still as calm as ever. Grimmjow removed his katana from its sheath and walked towards Ginrei.

"WAIT!" Ginrei shouted. Grimmjow kept moving. Aizen looked unamused. "What if I told you his half-brother possess the powers as well?"

That grabbed Aizen's attention. "Grimmjow, wait," Aizen said. Grimmjow paused. "How is this possible?"

"I do not know. I only recently just learned that myself. It seems, though, that Ichigo Kurosaki is a descendent from Kasumioji clan," Ginrei informed.

"And Rukia was from the Yukimora clan. Hmm," Aizen said, now pondering this new information. "This is… something we can use and it has spared your life for a little longer. The fact that there are two people who possess the powers is a rare thing. And information like this… hmm… How developed are the half-brothers' powers?"

"He is still unstable. But once Reizo discovers that his brother has the capabilities as well, I'm sure he will start training him," said Ginrei.

"How long do you think it will take for him to become stabilized?" Aizen asked.

"I give him five years."

"Five years it shall be. Come, we have a new plan to discuss for this… this changes many things," Aizen explained. Ginrei stood up and followed behind both Aizen and Grimmjow to his new location.
