At the Fourth Division…

Retsu Unohana led the worried Wonderweiss to the room where Sajin Komamura was resting, while his other father, Shūhei Hisagi, followed.

The hollow held his plushy with tender love and care as his fear for his father's life was apparent. Ichigo, Yoruichi, and Shūhei made sure Wonderweiss arrived safely at the Soul Society while looking for Rukia. They separated to drop Wonderweiss off. The capital was horrifically damaged, but there were no deaths, but many were severely injured in the siege, including Komamura. He lied there in a massive bed, bandaged, and resting as he looked peaceful.

"Awuuh…" Wonderweiss voiced sadly as he felt his adoptive father hurting.

"You must be very quiet and let him rest. He is still injured from the attack." Retsu advised the young hollow, who gave a nod to her and approached the sleeping captain.

Wonderweiss knelt down to Captain Komamura as he watched him sleep. He looked scared as he pressed his head to Komamura's arm and closed his eyes.

It broke Shūhei's heart to see him like this. Wonderweiss knows that his other father is in pain and can do nothing but stay by his side. His poor little Wonderweiss was suffering from fear of losing another family member and it was a scary thought.

"Wonderweiss." Shūhei spoke up as the blond turned his head to the man with a 69 on his cheek, giving him pleading eyes, "He will be okay. He's hurt but he will heal with time and your love will help him heal quicker."

"Awwuhh." He voiced but still looked sad but understood as he returned to bury his head into Komamura's arm, which was under a sheet.

Then, surprising both Shūhei and Retsu, warming their hearts as the hollow boy places his treasured toy under his father's arm to help him sleep at night.

"Awuh. Pro-tect." He ordered the plushy and returned to watching the captain that was sleeping in the plus-sized medical bed.

"Wonderweiss…" The lieutenant whispered as he watched the child, he and Sajin adopted to look after the sleeping werewolf with care.

The medical captain smiled sadly at the child. She understood why Wonderweiss held such a protective nature.

"It must be difficult for him…" She began, "To see another person he loves in so much pain. It is a harrowing thought to know the grief of losing a loved one. That is why he is so desperate to keep his family safe. He doesn't want to see another caretaker die."

Shūhei gasped at her words then gave a sadden look as he knew what she meant.

Captain Kaname Tousen…

He was the reason that they took in Wonderweiss in the first place. The only thing he loved was that Hollow and the Arrancar watched him get blown to bits. He could never forget that day.

Months ago, in the fake Karakura Town …

The traitor Kaname Tousen was ready to deal the final blow to his former comrade, not seeing his former lieutenant sneak up from behind with his sword.

"That is enough. You are not Captain Tousen anymore." Shūhei spoke in a cold yet grief-stricken voice, "Reap, Kazeshini."

The blade went through his neck, causing him to spew blood. Wonderweiss stopped fighting the two Visoreds and sensed Tousen in danger!

"Tou…sen…" He gasped then disappeared into thin air.

"Hey! Get back here, twerp!" Kensei Muguruma shouted but the Hollow was not listening.

The hollowfied man fainted as his throat was cut. He was still alive as Wonderweiss came to his side. He then spotted the two Soul Reapers that harmed him and growled at them. It astonished the two Soul Reapers to feel the protective energy from him. So, this was the Arrancar that imprinted on their once blind friend. They have never seen a Hollow show such emotion before, it was impossible.

Maybe, maybe it could be reasoned with.

"Awwuuhhh…" He growled at them.

"Please, Arrancar-." Shūhei voiced.

"Wonderweiss…" The Arrancar growled at them.

"Wonderweiss, please, we are done fighting him. We only want to reach a friend." Komamura spoke but the Arrancar did not trust them, not with weapons in their hands.

The captain realized this and slowly set his weapon down on the ground. Wonderweiss lessened his hostility and allowed him to get close. When Shūhei tried to follow, Wonderweiss growled at him and threatened with a cero! The man with the 69 on his cheek looked prepared to fight but realized that he was seen as a threat to Tousen. He did what the Captain did and set his weapon down, earning the trust of the Arrancar.

Wonderweiss allowed them to get close but not too close.

Then he saw his parent open his eyes.

"Awwuh~." The hollow voiced in happiness as the once blind Soul Reaper looked to him for the first time.

"Wonderweiss… you are more beautiful than I imagine… my sweet child." He raspy whispered as he touched the Arrancar's cheek.

"Don't try to speak, old friend. Your throat is badly torn. It is only with your Hollow Power that you are able to breathe. But save your strength." Komamura explained as Wonderweiss would not allow them to get close.

"Wonderweiss… it is okay… They can come close… I trust them." Kaname assured the boy, who was surprised.

They hurt him. But if Kaname trusts them, then Wonderweiss should too.

The hollowed allowed them to approach their injured friend as they talked. Wonderweiss did not understand what they were saying to him, but it made Kaname cry, not cry in a sad way but in a way that was good.

"Shūhei… please let me have a look at you… My hollow powers allow me to see… I have seen Sajin's face and my son, Wonderweiss's face… I want to see yours while I still can…" He requested.

"Captain…"

But before he could get close-.

SPLAT!

Wonderweiss watched in pure horror as his adoptive father became a puddle of blood! He couldn't feel him anymore! He was dead! He was gone!

"Captain Tousen! Captain Tousen!" Shūhei cried in horror!

"AIZEN! AIZEN, I WON'T FORGIVE YOU! AIZEN!" Komamura bellowed as they felt a powerful spiritual pressure coming from Wonderweiss!

He bellowed in pain and horror as tears drenched his face! His agony can be felt from everyone on the battlefield as it threatened to consume everything!

"Wonderweiss… Wonderweiss…" Aizen spoke, "Silence."

Then Wonderweiss was suddenly silenced as if he was in some sort of trance.

"Now, come to me."

Wonderweiss then teleported to Aizen and the rest happened…

After the Battle…

All that was left of Wonderweiss was a tiara for a moment, but as the clouds cleared, the mass began to form.

The Soul Reapers in the area watched as the mass grew and grew until…

SPLURT!

Wonderweiss burst out of the mass like a chick from an egg, naked and wet like his birth. The soul reapers were shocked that the Arrancar survived and was able to restore itself. They were prepared to fight, but Wonderweiss didn't even take notice of him as he began to wander around and call out! Komamura and Shūhei were stunned to see Wonderweiss alive.

Komamura approached the boy who was shouting and wandering around. He looked to the Soul Reaper as he covered and uncovered his eyes, making a confused sound.

He sighed as he knew he was looking for his adoptive father.

"Wonderweiss," Komamura began as he placed a hand on his tiny shoulder, "Kaname Tousen, your father is gone and is not coming back."

Wonderweiss teared up by his words but he bushed them away.

"I cannot promise to be like a father like Kaname, but as his closest friend, I promise to protect and care for you," Komamura promised as Shūhei approached.

"We both will," Shūhei added as this was the start of their family.

Present time…

It seemed like such a long time as Shūhei and Komamura grew to love Wonderweiss as their child and he in turn loved them as his family.

"I promise, he will not feel that pain again." He spoke quietly as he stayed with his son and fellow caretaker for as long as he could.
