Ichigo walks into Kisuke Urahara's office in the 12th division, "Kisuke, what with the mysterious phone call?"

Looking at Ichigo with a placid smile the Captain of the 12th. When you find out who your son is crushing on, you're going to have kittens…

Walking into the main viewer area with Captain Urahara he notices what's up on the screen and hears his son sigh.

Up on the screen was footage of Tier Harribel on a loop.

My son is crushing on Tier Harribel? Ichigo walks up to his son, "Kazui… something you need to tell me."

Turning just a shade of crimson he told his father, "I… I think she is beautiful!"

"Well, at least you have good taste!" His father said softly.

Shaking his head Kisuke, "What is it with Kurosaki men?"

"Well… Shiba men like strong women." Ichigo replied offhandedly.

"Dad?" The face on his son's face told Ichigo everything he needed to know.

"Why don't we find out what Tier has to say first hmmm"

"W-Wait" Kazui looks at his father, "You're on a first name basis with her?"

"Yes… why don't you wait in the hall for a moment!"

"Okay dad."

Shaking his head Kisuke looked at him as he walked out, "So much like his mother!"


Later that day in his office Sui Feng and Yoruichi walk in.

"Close the Door!"

Both Women recognize the hand signs for a soundproof Kidō.

"I went to the 12th to pick up Kazui, I discovered who his first crush is"

Sui Feng looked at him, "This is news why?"

With a light smile followed by a chuckle Ichigo looked at his wives, "Think back to the Winter War, do you remember The Arrancar that Captain Hitsugaya fought.

"NO." Both, women state, "That's his crush."

Ichigo nods

Coming to his left side Sui Feng looked at him, Well!"

Standing by his right side Yoruichi came in with, "Shiba men do like strong women."

"That we do" Ichigo said hugging them both.

"It looks like a peaceful trip to Hueco Mundo is in order!"


Hours later as Ichigo, Kazui and Yoruichi make their way to Las Noches at the very center of Hueco Mundo, the trio notices something odd as they pass, a group off hollow stop and bow their head.

The hell?

In the back of his mind Ichigo heard a voice he hadn't heard in years (His Hollow)

Think genius when you defeated Sōsuke Aizen he was King of Hueco Mundo Correct.

And?

By right of conquest, you rule Hueco Mundo… My King… nod in acknowledgement…

Although your self-appointed regent is doing a decent job of it.

Who?

Tier Harribel!

Turning to face him, Yoruichi, "Ichigo?"

"I just had a conversation about that… with an old friend, turning to face the group of hollows Ichigo nods as they continue on their way.

"And."

"Please don't get upset!" He replied looking at his wife, "Think about who I defeated in the war and what he was."

She nodded, and Ichigo said, "Now layer rights of conquest on top of that!"

Yoruichi started putting the pieces together, Sōsuke Aizen was the de-facto ruler of Hueco Mundo, and Ichigo… The means

Letting that train of thought trail off wide-eyed Yoruichi looked at Ichigo and mouthed the words, Your King of Hueco Mundo!

His only response was to slowly nod.

In the back of her mind Yoruichi, no wonder Hueco Mundo's been quite, for 20 years.

Approaching the thrown of Hueco Mundo, the disembodied voice of Tier Harribel filled the room, "You haven't come here to start trouble, have you Ichigo?"

"Well, that depends on your definition, can we speak privately."

"That's a request not a command!"

"So, you know about that do you!"

Approaching Tier cautiously, Ichigo, "I just want to talk."

"About what?" Tier asked raising her brow to a high speculative arch.

"My son wants to ask you on a date!"

Tier looked at him, "Is this some kind of a joke."

"Kazui." He called

Tier watched the boy approaching, "Ichigo who is his mother!"

With an undertone of sorrow to his voice, Ichigo said, "Orihime, she died giving birth to him!"

With a light smile at the memory of the girl Tier said, "He has her eyes!"

Forcing her mask to recede Tier said, "Hello Kazui."

Captain Urahara's video recording don't do her justice., Looking at Kazui, "Y-You're beautiful!"

Looking at the Sword on his hip Tier, "You know how to use that?"

"Yes… I do, I was taught by Ouetsu the best swordsmen in the entire Soul Society, he is currently a member of Zero Division."

Both Ichigo and Yoruichi looked at one another, each with the same thought, He never trains anyone, who made introductions?

Smiling Kazui looked at her, "Shale we take this outside… wouldn't want to destroy the place."
