Foul Mouths
Once every one hundred years, the Kuchiki Clan has always thrown a huge celebration, hosted by the head of the Kuchiki clan. It's been like this for thousands of years, and it happens to be that the party is due to be held. The party always lasts a minimum of twenty-four hours, and has even been known to last as long as seventy-two hours in the past.
This is Rukia's first time ever, attending the party. She hadn't been adopted at the time of the last one, and her brother sent a hell butterfly, letting her know that he had obtained spirit exchangers for her children, so that they could come along too, and that there would be a nanny so that Rukia and Ichigo could actually have fun.
Ever since they gave birth to their first son, a year ago, they've had their hands full, between the girls and their mischievous son, Ayumu. Rukia hasn't told Ichigo yet, but they're arriving a full day early, to give ni-sama some quality time with the kids.
"Damn it!" Ichigo's voice roars, and Rukia sighs. It's because of him that their beautiful daughters have already learned the fine art of swearing like a trucker. "Look at this fucking mess!" Ichigo seems really pissed off.
"What is it, Ichigo?" Rukia calls downstairs, as she was about to take Ayumu into the bathroom to bathe him.
"Rukia did you leave the flour out? The girls somehow got into it, don't ask me how, and the entire kitchen, and them are all covered in it!" Ichigo yells up, and Rukia cringes.
"I don't even want to see what that must look like." Rukia mutters, and she hurries into the bathroom and closes the door.
She swears she hears something after that, but she turns on the water, and blocks the nightmare downstairs, out of her mind. She would never get anything done, if she went running, every time Ichigo wanted to yell about something.
Downstairs, Ichigo looks around the kitchen, at a complete loss as to what he's supposed to clean first. He looks at his two identically cute daughters, covered in white flour.
"How in the hell did the two of you even manage this?" Ichigo asks, since he's at a loss for words, on how this could have happened.
His daughters watch him very carefully. They always seem very entranced, or amused whenever Ichigo is being loud, like he is being now.
When Rukia gets downstairs, twenty minutes later, Ichigo hasn't made too much progress on getting the kitchen cleaned up. Rukia's mouth drops open when she sees the mess. At least he got the girls cleaned up first, so that Rukia didn't have to deal with that.
"Why weren't you watching them?!" Rukia wails, as she looks around, at the hopeless mess they have on their hands.
How in the hell did they get flour, everywhere?
"I only turned my back for a few seconds! I don't even know how they got the flour off the counter!" Ichigo mutters, as he wipes off the counter.
"Mama! Mama!" Mika starts to chant, so Rukia squats down with Ayumu.
"I'll finish cleaning, just go and play with the kids, to keep them busy while I finish up in here." Ichigo says, and Rukia smiles gratefully.
She stands to walk out of the room, and the two girls immediately follow after her. They always do, unless Ichigo holds them back. All three of his kids are mama's kids…just like he was a mama's boy when he was a kid. He can't blame them, he loves to be with Rukia as much as they do.
Later…
"Do we have everything?" Rukia asks as she checks the diaper bag again for the third time.
"I'm pretty sure we have everything important." Ichigo says, as he pulls along two suitcases. One has his and Rukia's things, and the other has everything the kids should need, in addition to the diaper bag that Rukia is carrying.
"Okay, now for the stroller." Rukia says, "but first..." She pops her gikongan next.
She pulls out the double seated stroller, and seats the girls in it, and then she puts on the baby carrier, so that she can carry Ayumu without having to hold him. Ichigo puts down the suitcases, and arranges Ayumu in the sack. She can do it herself, when he isn't around, but it's always easier when Ichigo helps her with the carrier.
Ichigo runs upstairs to the baby's room to locate Kon. His daughters claimed him as their own property, ever since they were old enough to crawl.
"Ichigo! You bastard! Locking me in here with those two loud kids of yours!" Kon shouts, when Ichigo finds him in Mika's crib.
"Well you get to have a bit of freedom for a few days, but if I come back and learn that you did anything unpleasant, I'll find new and interesting ways of punishing you." Ichigo says, before he pops the pill out of the stuffed animal, and into his mouth.
"Like you haven't tortured me enough!" Kon mutters, and Ichigo grins at him.
"Chappy will be here to keep an eye on you too, so don't do anything stupid." Ichigo says, and Kon just rolls his eyes.
"Alright, see you." Kon says in a depressed voice.
Ichigo waves and flies back downstairs, to grab the suitcases.
"Keep an eye on Kon." Rukia orders Chappy, who salutes Rukia respectfully.
"Come on." Ichigo mutters, and Rukia nods. Ichigo opens the door, and Rukia pushes the stroller out. Once outside, Rukia unsheathes her zanpakutou, and pushes it into an invisible lock.
"Unlock!" Rukia calls out, and the gates leading to Soul Society open up.
It's habit, to hurry through, since it can be dangerous to travel like this, but Ichigo keeps alert for any sign of trouble. They both breathe a sigh of relief, when they reach Soul Society with no problems.
Their kids are already popular with the highest ranked Shinigami. Almost everyone of importance has met their young children already. Kenpachi smiles when he sees Ayumu on Rukia's back.
"So one came out looking like you, eh Ichigo? I wonder if he will be able to fight as good as you." Kenpachi says, as he licks his lips. Yachiru pops her head up and waves at the couple.
"Welcome back! Icchy, will you be able to play with Ken-chan today?" Yachiru asks, and Ichigo turns white at the mere idea of it.
"No…I won't ever be able to play with Kenpachi, sorry. I have kids to live for now." Ichigo says, and Kenpachi laughs at that remark.
"What the hell?" Rini suddenly says, catching Kenpachi's attention.
"What the hell is this?" Mika suddenly says next, causing the couple to turn bright red. Yachiru starts to laugh so hard that she loses her balance on Kenpachi's shoulder. He catches her in time before she flies head first into the ground.
"Mika! Rini!" Rukia says in horror before she glares at Ichigo. His eyes are wide.
"They choose now of all times, to start repeating what they've heard today?" Ichigo groans, and Rukia doesn't look too thrilled.
"Just before we're supposed to see ni-sama…" Rukia mutters, and Yachiru laughs as Kenpachi sets her onto the ground. She hurries over to the stroller. Mika scowls at her and reaches out to swipe at Yachiru's pink hair.
"She scowls, just like Icchy!" Yachiru says with an amused laugh, and Kenpachi laughs at her statement.
"They sound like him too." Kenpachi says, and Rukia blushes harder.
"I hope they got that out of their system." Ichigo mutters, and Rukia nods her head.
Renji suddenly appears, and he smiles at the family.
"The captain sent me here to greet you, and help you carry stuff to the Kuchiki manor." Renji says, with a happy grin.
"Renji!" Rukia says excitedly. She hasn't seen him in months.
"Long time no see, Rukia." Renji says with a grin as he approaches closer.
Ayumu lets out a shrill scream, right near Rukia's ear, and Rukia jumps at that.
"Want me to take him?" Renji asks, and Ichigo tosses the suitcases at him.
"I'll take my son. You take these." Ichigo tells him, and Renji is forced to either catch the suitcases, or be hit by them, so he catches them, and watches with a small envious smile as Ichigo pulls his son off of Rukia's back.
It's scary, how much the father and son resemble each other. Renji finds himself wishing he had a small boy who resembled himself to carry around.
"How cute!" Yachiru squeals, the moment Ayumu is grinning happily from his father's arms. Even Ichigo's a bit surprised. Typically his son prefers to be with Rukia.
Ichigo looks over at his wife, who looks relieved to have her back free of the added weight of their one year old son.
"Alright we'll see you all tomorrow at the party. Rukia and I are heading to the house of doom now." Ichigo says, and Rukia glares at him.
He's never been one to be excited when they are visiting with Byakuya ni-sama.
At The Kuchiki Manor…
"Where is your brother at anyways?" Ichigo asks as the servants have already led them to their room, where three cribs are at for their convenience.
"Ni-sama is a very busy man. I'm sure we'll see him shortly." Rukia answers, as she puts all three of her kids into the cribs.
"What's beyond that door?" Ichigo asks, pointing behind the cribs.
"The bathroom." Rukia answers absentmindedly, as she presents each girl a sippy cup filled with juice, and her son a bottle.
"I can think of a way to pass the time…" Ichigo says, as all of his kids are no occupied. Rukia glances up, and her eyes widen when she sees the look in her husband's eyes.
"We can't! Not now!" Rukia argues, but Ichigo just gives her the same sexy smile that convinced her to get into bed with him to conceive the miracles, currently in the room with them now.
"Come on, Rukia…I don't have the rabbit costume, I'd put it on right now if I did." Ichigo says, still grinning at her.
"The children!" Rukia exclaims, and Ichigo begins to hop towards her, making her feel a tingling on the inside. She can picture him as a rabbit perfectly.
"They're busy…we can just go into the bathroom, and make love." Ichigo says, and Rukia begins to smile.
"Alright…" Rukia says, and Ichigo grabs her hand and drags her behind him, into the bathroom.
Rukia can't help but to laugh, the whole way there. When they get inside, Ichigo begins yanking his robes off like he's starved for sex. He proceeds to do the same to Rukia, and then ogle her for a minute before kissing her passionately.
"You're as sexy now as you were the first time we made love…" Ichigo groans in her ear, and Rukia smiles, before she replies.
"You are too, my delicious strawberry bunny." Rukia whispers, and Ichigo kisses her fiercely.
"I'll get you back for that…" Ichigo says suggestively, and Rukia laughs. Ichigo sinks to his knees and looks up at his gorgeous wife with desire. "I'll make you scream." Ichigo promises.
"I'm counting on it…" Rukia whispers, before she lets out a long moan of pleasure. He sure has learned the right ways to get her going quickly, he knows her body inside and out.
Ten Minutes Later…
"Mama! Mama! Mama!" Rini shouts at the top of her lungs.
"Mama! Mama!" Mika joins in.
Their eyes are staring hard at the bathroom door, where they just heard their mother let out a scream. They hear their father let out what sounds like a very loud grunt, and then a moment later, he begins to chuckle loudly. They hurry back out, still pulling their clothes into place.
"Jeez Ichigo! Were you hoping to get caught by ni-sama?" Rukia asks with a blush.
"I always keep my promises to my Rukia…isn't that why I'm here right now?" Ichigo asks, as he looks around the room with a sigh.
"If you didn't come with me, I'd stay here with the kids in Soul Society for a month." Rukia grumbles, and Ichigo snaps his gaze at her.
"Don't even joke like that. I don't even like being away from you for more than a day." Ichigo tells her. "Since a day without you already feels long as hell." Ichigo says, as he remembers fighting in Hueco Mundo without her at his side. One day had felt like well over a year...and that hadn't even been a full day.
Rukia smoothes out her hair, and then she hurries over to pick up Mika. Ichigo does the same with Rini, and it's at the moment that both of them have a child in their arms that Byakuya busts in the room.
"Rukia!" Byakuya exclaims, "Are you okay?" Byakuya asks. "I heard you scream." Byakuya says, and Rukia begins to blush.
"Who in the hell are you?" Mika asks, pointing at her uncle.
"What the fuck?" Rini says next, and this causes the married couple to both blush a deep shade of red, while Byakuya stares at his nieces completely speechless.
Ayumu picks this moment to pull himself into a standing position in his crib. He looks over at Byakuya.
"Fuck!" Ayumu loudly repeats, after his sisters, and Rukia coughs.
"Ni-sama…" Rukia says, and Ichigo doesn't meet his brother-in-law in the eyes.
Three for three. All three of them just fucking swore at him.
Byakuya appears to be trying to stay calm, while Rukia looks terribly nervous.
"I trust that they can all say more than just that?" Byakuya asks in a suffocating voice.
Rukia's head begins bobbing up and down.
"Oh yes, ni-sama…I'm sorry about that!" Rukia says, feeling like she could die of embarrassment.
"Fuck you!" Mika says, right at her uncle, and Rukia claps her hand over her daughter's mouth.
"I really don't know what's gotten into them! They don't normally do this!" Rukia assures him.
"Mama!" Rini starts to reach out for Rukia, and Ichigo rolls his eyes.
"Sorry, Byakuya." Ichigo says, and Ayumu instantly snaps his head back to his uncle, after watching his father.
"Sorry Bekooya." Ayumu repeats, childishly.
Byakuya steps over to Rukia's son's crib and picks up Ayumu, who is instantly enthralled with Byakuya's long hair.
Byakuya looks at the child, but there is only one feature that is Rukia's, and that is the shape of his eyes. The color though, is just like Ichigo's, and if he narrows his eyes and scowls, he can probably mimic his father perfectly.
"I forgive you." Byakuya says, as he looks at the tiny child.
Rukia starts to breathe easy, and she slowly removes her hand from Mika's face.
Rukia sets Mika down, to take Rini from Ichigo, and Mika runs over to grab on her uncle's robe.
"Up!" Mika orders him in a loud voice. Ichigo walks over to collect his son, and Byakuya picks up Mika as she ordered him to do.
Byakuya can feel his insides twisting with emotion, since Mika looks so much like what he had always dreamed a daughter of his and Hisana's would look like.
"I wish Hisana could have met you, minus the swearing." Byakuya tells his niece, and she smiles as she grabs his face with her hands and leans forward to kiss him on the nose.
Byakuya blinks. He hasn't been kissed in decades. The last person to kiss him, was his wife.
Ichigo and Rukia both exchange a nervous glance with one another as Byakuya stares at Mika in wonder, and then he looks over at Rini, in Rukia's arms.
"You have beautiful children, Rukia." Byakuya says, before he smiles at his niece.
"Thanks, ni-sama..." Rukia says, in amazement.
"Want to explore?" Byakuya asks Mika, and Rukia holds up a hand.
"Ni-sama? The girls have been getting into an awful lot of mischief lately, I hope she won't be a bother!" Rukia says, and Byakuya smiles.
"Don't worry about us." Byakuya says, and he goes around to show off his niece to everyone in the Kuchiki clan.
Hisana would have adored you, even if you did say fuck you to her.
Back in in their room, Ichigo and Rukia just stare at each other in shock.
"Well, that could have only gone worse if he'd entered the room a minute earlier." Ichigo informs his wife, who nods her head in agreement. Then she smiles at Ichigo.
"At least he left me with the daughter who isn't stinky." Rukia says, as she hugs Rini with a smile. Ichigo rolls his eyes.
"Now that they're practically potty trained, it really won't matter too much longer." Ichigo says, even though he thinks his wife looks completely adorable, hugging Rini like she is. As the girls get older, they only resemble their mother more and more strongly.
Having a family makes Ichigo extremely happy, in ways he never even imagined that it could.
It's because of Rukia, that I'm this happy, and because of her that I love having a family of my own. Even if my kids do have foul mouths.
