For, Shiro, things take unexpected turn when he finds out that his Lover Renji Abarai is pregnant with his children. Also, Ichigo's children are alive and well.

9. Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - "Promise me, will see Each Other Again."

Ichigo's P.O.V:

After been told by Shiro, when me and Kenpachi, had returned from the Temple that Orders that all Captains and Vice-Captains return, I now stood with my children as Keio and Rye - the twins - and Li-Li in the arms of Grimmjow as he stands waiting for Senkaimon to be opened by the Soul Society.

Renji, is standing next to him in his Soul Reaper Uniform, after already saying goodbye to Shiro, who is standing in the doorway as the Senkaimon appears, the doors sliding open as Rukia, appears.

Both me, Kenpachi and Renji, all tense as we see who is behind her and recognise the wizened old face, but with hidden emotion of the Head Captain of the Soul Society then he comes up to us.

His eyes flick over to the children, while feel Kieo and Rye hide behind my legs as I place a hand over their heads to reassure that everything was alright and this person wasn't going to harm them.

The Old man doesn't say anything at all to me and just heads over to Kenpachi, indicating him to follow him so they can talk without being overheard then I watch silently as the two talk, Kenpachi trying to argue that he needs to stay with me and with our children.

I felt scared and frightened at the same time, that this War when it happened would change everything.

Would it be the same for us?

Would Kenpachi, be allowed to stay?

I could see that he trying to keep his rage down, clenching his fists slightly and soon slumps in defeat as the Old man, says more words then they come back over. He doesn't say anything to Renji, just heads to the Senkaimon and waits for the rest Ikkaku and Yumichika, plus Yachiru, who after saying goodbye to her little sister and brothers as she called them, handing them each a bag of her special candy, clambers up onto his shoulder.

He's about to go into it, when he stops and turns then comes right up to me, taking hold of me with one hand, while the other tilts my chin up so he can kiss me as I place my hands on his chest.

It is gentle, making me quiver against him and tears form in my eyes then he lets go as I breathe shakily as I look at him.

"Promise me, you will come back to us." I said, while he looks at his children and kisses me again as I find myself not wanting to let go of him.

"I... will...Ichigo. I'll come back to you and our children, I promise. Also, look after the Moon-flower for me." He says, pulling away from me and heading into the light, looking back one last time as I see a single tear run down his cheek, before the doors slip close behind him.

I head back inside and my Father, with my sisters, come over to me and hug me as I begin to cry into his chest, while my little one's hug my legs to comfort me.

"Let it out, let it out." He says, while I just allow myself to be held by him, my family and my children.
