All the Espada were situated on one side of the room while the Shinigami were on the other side.
No one trusting each other besides Ichigo.
"Wait. Let me get this straight." Renji says holding up a hand.
Ichigo nods, waiting for him to process the information.
"You got turned into a baby." Renji starts.
Ichigo nods.
"You have an inner hollow."
Nod.
"He got turned into a baby."
Nod.
"His name is Shiro."
Nod.
"He's your older twin."
Nod.
"A hollow took care of you."
Nod.
"You lost your memory."
Nod.
"He's technically your father now."
Nod.
"Every hollow got soft."
Nod.
Ichigo ignored Grimmjow's loud 'I HAVE NOT!'.
"Aizen stopped war because he got soft too."
Nod.
"Unohana-taichou. I need a mental check up. I think I'm hallucinating." Renji says.
"Abarai-fukutaichou, if you are hallucinating then what of us?" She replies as she gestured to every Shinigami in the room.
"Yes but you honestly can't expect me to believe that we are currently sitting down and having a chat with hollows over tea." Renji says with a small twitch of his eye.
"Well they aren't. Uncle Starrk and Kyouraku-san is drinking Sake." Ichigo points out.
"Not the point Ichigo." Renji sighs.
"But they are!" Ichigo says, thrusting his arms in the direction of the two.
"Ohh that reminds me! Uncle Starrk! Can I have some hot chocolate please?" Shiro begs.
"Why don't you ask Szayel? He's more informed about human children then me." Starrk yawns.
"Because you make better hot chocolate~" Shiro whines.
Starrk sighs but complies.
"Me too Uncle Starrk!" Ichigo calls out.
Starrk waves lazily with a hand before exiting the room to make them.
-Ichigo's POV-
"Hot chocolate? Really? In a serious situation like this?" Renji deadpans.
"When did you become so... Forgive me, childish?" Rukia asks.
"I dunno. Maybe because I was raised differently here. For me I've lived here my whole life as well as the living world." I shrug. "Plus! Hot chocolate that Uncle Starrk makes are the best!"
"Uncle Starrk isn't back yet? Where is he? I want my hot chocolate!" Shiro whines, shaking Lilynette.
"Stop it! Lemme go! How am I supposed to know!" Lilynette tries to stop his shaking.
Shiro ignored her and runs around, trying to make time go faster.
"Relax...I can hear you all the way from the kitchen... Here." Starrk says holding out two hot chocolates.
I rush up and run towards him, grabbing the mug and thanking him quickly.
Shiro perks up and Sonido's in front of Starrk, also grabbing the mug and thanking him quickly.
"Is it that good?" Renji mumbles.
Rukia shrugs.
"Want some?" Starrk asks as he gestures towards the door.
A bunch of hollows were holding trays filled with mugs.
"Don't mind if I do." Rukia says and stands to get a mug.
"Hey wait! Rukia!" Renji stumbles as he tries to stand up as well.
The other Shinigami shrug, following Rukia and Renji.
I sigh in bliss as I finish my mug of hot chocolate.
Renji and Rukia decided to start brawling in the middle of finishing their drink so I grinned and poke Shi-nii for his attention.
He raises an eyebrow and I point at the two hot chocolate's that Renji and Rukia had left on the side for their brawl.
He grins.
"Ohh. I like the way you think Lil' bro." He snickers.
"Don't you always?" I reply teasingly.
"Of course I do. It's why I love you so much." He back hugs me.
"Enough loving and more stealing then." I chuckle.
He gives me a quick grin and Sonido's towards both the mugs, stealing both and handing me one.
We gulped the remaining Hot chocolate before they even knew it.
"Ichigo! Did you just take my hot chocolate?!" Rukia yells.
"Of course not. He did." I point at my brother.
She glares at my brother.
"You still drank it! I was going to finish that!" Renji exclaims.
"Enough." Unohana-taichou says sternly.
Everyone goes quiet.
I snicker.
She directs a very sweet chilling smile at me and I run behind my brother, holding his slightly taller shoulders and peeking over.
He rolls his eyes.
He knows I'm not afraid of her and that I was just faking it for shits and giggles.
"We need to prepare to head back and report this new finding to the Soutaichou." She says and stands up.
"What about me? Do I go? Am I the new finding or is the information the new finding?" I ask.
"Of course. Kurosaki Ichigo is to come with us for interrogation." She says.
I pale immediately.
Interrogation?
It sounds like I did something wrong.
All Espada, including Uncle Aizen, Uncle Gin and Uncle Tousen, places a hand on their Zanpakuto.
"Fear not. If the Soutaichou deems him innocent then he will not be harmed. Much." She mutters the last bit.
At those words every Espada unsheathed their swords.
"If I find a single piece of hair out of place on my son's head. Soul society and the balance of life can go to hell." Grimmjow threatens silently as he places a protective hand on my head and lifts his Zanpakuto slightly higher.
"Dad..." I manage to mutter in my frightened state.
"Don't worry Cub. If they hurt you, I'll kill them for you." Grimmjow reassures.
"Don't forget about me! I'll gladly go on a killing spree!" Shiro grins maniacally, sword spinning above his head.
"Woah! No! No killing! Shi-nii. Sword down." I order.
He clicks his tongue and lowers his sword.
Most lower powered Shinigami relaxed a bit.
"Don't go scaring them Shi-nii..." I sigh.
"I won't~ but if they hurt you." He grins at the Shinigami, who shiver at the grin.
I sigh again and turn to my Shinigami friends.
"Ignore him, he's joking." I say with a reassuring smile.
'Easy for you to say!' was what they were all thinking at the same time.
"Very well. I will stay in Hueco Mundo for the time being." Uncle Aizen says.
"Don't die." Uncle Starrk pets my head.
I roll my eyes at him as I head out the door.
"At least get one cut on you so then we can kill them!" Shiro yells.
"That's my boy!" I faintly hear Grimmjow grin.
I chuckle.
"Ichigo..." Rukia taps my arm.
I look down and raise an eyebrow.
"If anything goes wrong... You can always count on us." She says and tugs Renji down as well.
"...Thanks." I smile.
