Burakku has been placed under arrest the moment he passed into the Soul Society. When Momo brought him before Kai who was having his wounds healed he was bound and surrounded by four Squad 5 shingami.

"Release him immediately," Captain Zetsumei ordered Burakku's restraints disappeared instantly. Kai stood and looked down at his 3rd seat, "You know Burakku I could have you stripped of your title, removed from my squad and thrown into jail for what you pulled?"

"Yes, Captain," he swallowed.

"Because not did you disobey a direct order from me, your Captain, but from Lieutenant Hinamori as well that's a serious offense."

"I know, Captain."

"But it shows me that you care deeply for your fellow shingami, and are willing to put yourself in harm's way no matter what the costs or a second thought."

"Kind of like you," coughed Yuroichi. Burakku smiled at this comparison.

"Why did you disobey me?" Kai asked.

"You're my Captain and when I became part of this squad I also took on the duty of protecting you."

Kai smiled at the young man shaking his head, and for a moment he thought he would start laughing, they were so serious when that line passed their lips, but then his face turned serious, "I give orders to protect lives and another part of being a shingami is following those orders," he paused wiping blood from his hands and arms, "My duty is also to protect my squad from harm. I can not always ensure your safety though. That's why I ask that you follow those orders, Burakku."

"I know that Captain Zetsumei."

"A shingami's abilities not only lye in their fighting abilities, but their abilities to judge situations and make choices based on those observations, but as a shingami you must sometimes follow orders you don't wish to. I make decisions that can endanger my life and save others, but there are times I make choices that endanger lives as well, now," he said, "Next time your courage tells you to stay and fight, don't! Unless it is absolutely necessary. I don't want to have to take you home in a body bag, am I understood?"

Burakku swallowed hard and nodded. Yuroichi tightened the bandages suddenly sending sharp pains into Kai's back, "DAMMIT!" he shouted. His muscles were tense as he excused Burakku.

"Your back will take some time to heal," Captain Unohana told him. Kai nodded as he stood grabbing his blood shirt and slipping the torn and bloody haori onto his bare and bandaged body.

"Who was supposed to relieve us anyway?"

"Squad 9," replied Momo. Kai nodded as Yuroichi walked him from the room for some reason she had a large grin on her face that Kai only noticed when they had stepped into the hallway.

"Alright, what's up?"

At first she said nothing, but continue to smile at Kai, "I have something to tell you, something very important."

"What is it?" he laughed.

She took his hand and placed it under her shirt and against her stomach, "Can you feel it?"

At first Kai was speechless. His hand rested gently against her abdomen. Her skin was soft and he seemed to be waiting and thinking of what to say and then a large smile crossed his face, and he looked into her eyes, "Are you sure?"

"Positive. I saw Retsu this morning."

"You're…you're…actually…" he couldn't get the word out.

"Pregnant," she laughed.

Kai didn't yell or shout, but the smile didn't leave his face as he looked at Yuroichi. Then catching her off guard he took her into a giant hug lifting her off the ground. He set her down and kissed her passionately and then he shot up, "I have to tell Byakuya, and other people." He kissed her again, "I love you."

Captain Zetsumei took off at a sprint, "Your back!" shouted Yuroichi after him, but he didn't hear her as he raced through the corridor dodging shingami and others as he made his way towards the Squad 6 headquarters.

"Captain Zetsumei!" cried one of his shingami.

"Can't talk!" he shouted back as he nearly knocked a female shingami off her feet. He skidded to halt in front of Byakuya's door breathing heavily. Some of Byakuya's shingami were outside looking at him strangely. Kai burst through the door, "Byakuya!" but he wasn't there. Kai was for a split second disappointed. Captain Zetsumei raced out of the room and grabbed the same shingami he had nearly knocked over, "Where's Captain Kuckiki?"

"At the training grounds," she muttered.

"Thanks," and he was off again. He was at the training grounds within a matter of seconds. Kai interrupted a training session between Byakuya and Renji, "Sorry more important business," he said to Renji who was ticked that he had been interrupted.

"What is it?" asked Byakuya calmly.

"Yuroichi's pregnant!" Kai blurted out.

Byakuya held out his hand, but instead of a hand shake he got a hug from the Squad 5 Captain. Renji tried to hard to keep in his laughter.

"Right…who else knows?"

"You're the first person I've told, but Momo, Ichigo, Rukia, Tatsuki and a lot of other people need to know."

"Go then…tell them."

Kai nodded and was gone. He burst into Momo's office to find her doing paperwork which he yanked from her hands, "Don't worry about it, I'll finish it."

"Are you okay, Captain?"

"Never better, Yuroichi's pregnant."

"Congratulations," she hugged her Captain and then he was off. Rukia and Ichigo were in the human world so he decided to pay them a visit.

"Oi! Ichigo!" shouted Kai as he rounded the corner Yuroichi next to him. The Captain was in gigai form and wearing blue jeans, sandals and a plain white t-shirt.

"Hey Kai, Yuroichi, what brings you here? I thought you would be recovering?"

"How'd you hear about that?"

"Rukia's been around. She actually went to get some of that rabbit stuff or whatever."

"I have really good news. So good I'm treating everyone for dinner, but first you have to guess."

"I don't know."

"You suck Ichigo, Yuroichi's pregnant."

"Awesome. Any idea what it might be?"

"Not a clue," smiled Yuroichi.

Karin and Yuzu stepped from the house and greeted the two. They were quickly informed of the news just as Rukia rounded the corner. She was hugged and told the news at the same time. Neither of them had ever see Kai act like this. It wasn't his character.

Before they could even decide where to go out of nowhere came a shingami from squad 9. He was young and covered in blood. Kai's demeanor quickly changed, "What is it?! What happened?!" he demanded gripping the shingami by the shoulders.

"Under attack…" he choked, "Two arrancar ambushed us, many are dead. The rest are still fighting." The young man collapsed into Kai's arms. He was still alive, but losing blood, "Yuroichi contact the Soul Society and get him a healer," he looked to Ichigo, but didn't have to say anything and the orange haired body immediately understood. In an instant Kai was in his shingami uniform. He struck Ichigo with the end of his sword. The two raced off down the street. Yuroichi knew Kai wouldn't have let her go, not now, not with a baby on the way. He wouldn't risk their lives. She stayed behind with Rukia, Karin and Yuzu to look after the man.

Night was falling as the men came into a clearing. Bodies and blood were everywhere. Only a few shingami were still standing trying to fight off the arrancar. Kai could sense their spiritual pressure and it was low. These two arrancar were weaker. But none the less they had nearly killed all of Squad 9. Captain Hisagi and other unnamed shingami were fighting a dark-skinned woman with blonde hair and a large man with spikes coming out of the top of his head. Kai or Ichigo had never seen them before.

They rushed into battle already knowing their targets. The large black arrancar drew his fist back to strike the downed Captain when Kai flash stepped in front of it he grabbed the fist with his bare hand twisting it and slamming the arrancar to the ground.

"Captain Hisagi, get your squad and dead out of here," said Ichigo as he parried an attack from the woman.

The Captain stood and immediately nodded, and gathered the survivors of his squad and left in a flash.

"I will not let you ruin one of the happiest days in my life!" shouted Kai as the man tried to strike him again, but Kai easily dodged the swinging fists, "Who are you anyway?"

"I am Yammy and I'm going to kill you!" he boomed.

"That's what Nnoitra said, but it didn't happen. Who's your friend?" Kai unsheathed his sword.

"My name is Halibel," she said proudly as she and Ichigo fought ferociously. Ichigo caught her off guard and kicked her in the face. They were fighting in pools of blood and both men were trying to make sure neither of the arrancar damaged the dead anymore. Kai leapt over Yammy and sliced through his back and hip, but it didn't fell the giant arrancar, but it did draw a lot of blood. Ichigo flash stepped in a circle around Halibel and sliced through her thigh, but she struck anyway nearly catching Ichigo in the forearm.

"Why did Aizen send you?!" demanded Ichigo, but the arrancar didn't answer.

Yuroichi had contacted the Soul Society and they immediately sent reinforcements. Lieutenant Hinamori and Squad 5 were the first to arrive on the scene followed by Captain Kuchiki and Squad 6.
