It's time to screw around with Ichigo! Hooray! Okay, maybe not really. So I know I said that I wanted an equal amount of yaoi and yuri pairings, so this is the yaoi pairing I've been meaning to do. It's Byakuya/Ichigo, from the picture on deviantART where Rukia is showing a picture to Ichigo of Ichigo marrying Byakuya (if you know what I'm talking about, that picture is made of AWESOME).

1. At their wedding, Ichigo was the one in the dress.

2. There had been an argument about this, but as Byakuya was seme, he got to wear the suit.

3. Ichigo pouted about it, but as Byakuya finds pouting Ichigo sexy, he didn't get to for long.

4. Then entered the problem that Ichigo has Isshin's lovely shinigami genes, so he can have babies.

5. So Ichigo holed himself up in the Kuchiki estate, as it was rather embarrassing to be pregnant.

6. It was a wonderful plan, except Rukia liked annoying him by getting gushy over his pregnant belly and drawing pictures of what his and Byakuya's baby would look like.

7. He was not amused by the fact that she kept drawing little girls.

8. And then they actually had a little girl.

9. "What the hell?" was Ikkaku's response to the squirming little female baby bundle.

"Aw, she's so cute!" Yumichika said, cooing and cuddling the baby.

"I blame Rukia for jinxing us by drawing all of those pictures of us with little girls," Ichigo muttered.

"Maybe you'll get luckier the next time," Renji said, trying to get a good look at the newest Kuchiki. Ichigo glared at him. "What?" Renji asked.

"Never mind, just give me my daughter back!" Ichigo said.

10. Byakuya, of course, was a doting father to his little Aoi.

11. She got named Aoi because she came out with black hair with a blue sheen.

12. She has bright green eyes, though.

13. Her favorite as a little child was sleeping on her otousan's lap while he worked.

14. Most people learned not to bother Byakuya if he had Aoi sleeping on his lap.

15. He is very protective of Aoi. Mayuri once looked at her, so Byakuya kicked his ass.

16. As she grew older, Aoi's favorite pastime became calligraphy.

17. And ink paintings with poetry on them.

18. Yes, Aoi writes poetry.

19. She also uses it to insult people.

20. It goes over most people's heads.

21. Especially people who currently are or who have ever been in the Eleventh Division.

22. Oh, and Ichigo lucked out the next time, too.

23. They had another little girl.

24. Byakuya named this one Mariko.

25. She's got Ichigo's bright orange hair and Byakuya's eyes.

26. She likes to hang around Ichigo, who really doesn't know what to do with her.

27. But that's okay. Yumichika does.

28. Especially as he's expecting his own child with Ikkaku.

29. And yes, Ikkaku's the pregnant one.

30. Yumichika wants a little girl so that Mariko has a playmate.

31. Ikkaku and Ichigo are both disturbed by this idea, as Yumichika is a guy wanting to have a little girl with another guy.

32. Aoi taught Mariko calligraphy, or tried to, but then Mariko told her she didn't like doing calligraphy.

33. So, instead, Aoi makes pictures for Mariko to hand on her wall, as Mariko really likes Aoi's pictures.

34. She also likes watching Aoi make the pictures, humming softly to herself and occasionally chanting some poetry.

35. Just in case you're wondering, Aoi and Byakuya speak to each other entirely in prose. Their favorite form is haiku, but occasionally they branch out into something like the sonnet.

36. Ichigo's totally lost, but Mariko (from spending so much time with her sister) can follow what they're saying most of the time.

37. Mariko, however, prefers climbing trees and getting dirty.

38. While Aoi is refined and poised, Mariko is a little wild child, splashing through puddles and falling out of trees and throwing rocks at people who say nasty things about her family.

39. But not matter how dirty she gets, or how hurt she is, or how much trouble she gets into, she can always count on Aoi to come and help her.

40. Aoi has no problem cleaning her little sister, or wiping away her tears, or explaining the problem to their Otousan so he sides with Mariko.

41. She also has no problem singing Mariko to sleep when she's had a nightmare.

42. Byakuya, for his part, begins to teach Mariko the martial arts much younger than he did Aoi.

43. Mariko loves it, and Aoi often joins them in the mornings, before she goes off to do her painting.

44. But what Mariko loves most about when Aoi joins them is that her sister and her Otousan speak in prose, and Maiko loves the sound.

45. She also likes spending time with Ikkaku and Yumichika's daughter. They're great friends.
