Limbo

Standing before the Head captain with Hoshi beside him, Loki held an orb of shattered glass in his hands with all the captains staring at him, all sporting eyes of awe.

"Are you certain this Limbo, will not touch the living world?" turning to Yamamoto, Loki spoke with the orb vanishing.

"As long as we have an anchor to keep it stable, then yes" turning to Hoshi, the beautiful creature spoke.

"I am willing to be the anchor as you're forces strike against Mundus, however I will need protection due to all my power being focused to keep the stability, the only downside to Limbo is it's chaotic nature and pursuit of spreading" giving a nod, Sui-Feng spoke.

"How exactly did you come to gain control of this sentient dimension?" the one to answer was Loki whose head had become covered by a horned skull helmet.

"I killed the demon king in one dimension" the many stares of disbelief was worth that little spat of info.

It didn't help he grinned as the mask vanished.

"Ironic his name was also Mundus, was a demon in human form, and he had the entire human race by the family jewels… before I tore his spin out and shoved it back in through his mouth" this gained him very uncomfortable looks.


Laying on Ichigo's chest as they slept through the stress, Yoruichi gave a soft hum as she snuggled further beneath the blanket, the beauty let out a soft sigh of contempt… before her eyes snapped open at feeling bile rising in her throat.

Flashing to outside, she relieved herself of this sudden vomit with a cough, leaving her stuck with the taste in her mouth.

"Oh god!" coughing with a shiver, the sound of a snort of amusement made her jump in alarm.

Turning she spotted a silver haired woman in leather attire holding a bottle of water to her.

"Don't worry, I'm part of Loki's group" tossing the water to Yoruichi, the werecat caught the bottle to drown the taste from her mouth.

Sighing as the taste faded away, Yoruichi turned to the woman to notice one thing… one she was floating, and two her eyes were glowing a soft silver.

"Names Aeron, now go back to sleep, I'm sure Unohana will be glad to check up on you tomorrow" giving a hesitant, nod, Yoruichi returned to ichigo's room with a smile, seeing him still asleep, she went to climb back into his bed until she froze at hearing a cleared throat behind her.

Turning she gulped at seeing Isshin with his arms crossed.

"We need to talk"


Sitting within the Kurosaki Kitchen as Isshin paced before her with an even look, he was speaking up a storm.

"When I asked you to keep an eye on my son, this is not what I meant Yoruichi" hell even his voice was even.

Looking down with a frown, the father continued.

"When he brought you home in you're cat form, I was fine with that, but when he started coming home with Hickey's and such after each training you gave him, I was beginning to suspect you were doing far more than training and tonight with you leaving his room and coming back has gotten me suspicious" leaning on the bench with an even stare, Yoruichi gulped at his seriousness and close proximity, Yoruichi began to worry until his goofy persona came out of nowhere.

"When's the wedding?" seeing the man smile like an idiot, Yoruichi nearly hit her head on the bench.

"You- you're not mad I'm literally sleeping with you're son!?" half yelling to make sure Yuzu and Karin didn't wake up, Isshin shrugged.

"To be honest I was suspecting he was gay, which I was okay with but than you actually helped him grow a pair. Which to me means I can expect grandkids in the future, just imagine kids turning into little kittens running around with you and Ichigo chasing them" smiling at the image, Yoruichi was about to yell at him before her eyes widened as bile rushed up her throat, making her rush to the sink with Isshin stopping his stupidity to rush to her side, reaching for a hand towel, he held it for her as she threw up, turning the tap on while wiping her mouth, the woman held a frown of worry.

"Yoruichi… did and Ichigo?" sighing at the man's question, she turned and gave a small nod of acceptance, and seeing Isshin's eyes widen he was about to yell out in joy until his mouth was clamped shut by an angry Yoruichi.

"You so much as yell I will sew you're lips shut!" nodding in fear at the angry woman, her eyes widened as she quickly released him. Sighing while rubbing her face with her hands, the woman slid down the cupboard as Isshin went to a medical cabinet.

"Oh god that taste" moving to get a glass of water, Isshin spoke as he held a box to her.

"Here, just to be sure" taking the box from the man, her eyes widened slightly at the pregnancy test in her hand, she turned to see Isshin at the kitchen table with a newspaper.

"Isshin, i-"

"Stop, just stop." Turning to the woman with a small smile, he spoke.

"Just be sure he doesn't fail you like I did Masaki" sitting down with Yoruichi looking to the box, she sighed while stepping up the stairs, staring into the toilet room beside Ichigo's door, she looked to the box before opening it quickly. Closing the door behind her quietly she failed to see Yuzu and Karin peeking out of their room with smiles, glad their Ichi-ni finally got a bit of joy in his life.


The next morning


Standing on the shoreline with Hoshi and the captains, Loki stared at the tree in the distance with a critical eye.

Seeing the clouds above swirling like a hurricane, he turned to Yamamoto as he stepped to his side.

"Do you mind if I question you to sate my curiosity?" turning to the head captain with a nod, he spoke.

"When you mentioned dimensions, you looked at the Gotei thirteen and myself with recognition" turning to Loki as he smiled with a shake of his head, he continued.

"How many other worlds like ours did you visit in a time of crisis?"

Turning to the head Captain with a respectful smile, Loki reached into a small vortex to bring out a haori… with the first divisions emblem on it.

Seeing the sight, Yamamoto looked to Loki who smiled sadly.

"You were a great sensei, Yamamoto, came close to being a surrogate Grandfather to me" staring at the man before him, Yamamoto gave a nod of acknowledgement before they turned to Hoshi after a ripple in the air spread out towards the tree.

"The rift is ready, Have Kurosaki and his friends arrived yet?" moving to answer her, Loki and Yamamoto noticed the ragtag group of teens arrive with Tatsuki wearing an… outfit.

Making him scratch out his idea of a female Nero due to her wearing an outfit mixed with Lady and Trish, her upper body sporting Ladies off-white leather short jacket with the white long sleeved blouse which showed her midriff it was accessorized with gray and black rider goggles and a black buckled belt which was connected to her jacket. And on her legs were a pair of trish's black leather pants with Nero's boots.

Staring at the group, Loki looked to Yamamoto before he approached the teens.

"HEY, glad you lot could make it" approaching them he stopped with a scent entering his noes, sniffing the air his eyes widened as the scent was exuding from Yoruichi who began to blush at his eyes.

Shaking his head he turned to Tatsuki who stood straight.

"You'll need gear if you're here to help" reaching into a vortex with both hands, he turned to Tatsuki.

"Ever fired a gun?" seeing the girl shrug she spoke.

"Once or twice on a dare, why?" seeing Loki grin, he pulled out of the vortex to show two weapons, a sword and a two barreled revolver.

"May I introduce you to Blue Rose" handing her the revolver, her eyes widened at the weightlessness it held, she looked it over before looking to the sword after Loki revved the Motorcycle handle.

"And Red Queen, these two belonged to a warrior by the name of Nero in a dimension I had visited, after he retired to raise his family, he allowed me to hold onto these" looking to the sword with a smile, he looked to Tatsuki who stared at it in awe.

"Now they are yours… take good care of them" holding the sword to the fighter, she held it with care until Loki spoke.

"They're not easy to break, give them a test drive before we jump feet first into a sentient hell" moving to leave, Ichigo spoke.

"Where exactly are we going, the tree is pretty far away?"

Smiling as he turned to them, Loki spoke.

"We're going to Limbo" saying that, the entire world shook as the air took on a yellow light despite it being midday, the clouds could be seen flying above.

Flinching as the ground shook beneath their feet, Ichigo and the others turned to see Karakura shifting upward like a rubics cube puzzle growing upward.

Seeing the sight, they heard a voices yell with a laugh.

"WELCOME TO LIMBO, KIDDOS!"

Turning to Loki as he grinned at their looks, they all failed to notice a Garganta open within the area of Limbo.
