Grimmjow and Gin got back mostly unharmed. Grimmjow had some cuts and bruises plus a slight limp. Oh and a black eye from Kuma. Gin had some cuts and bruises as well. Surprisingly good with kids, much to Grimmjow's surprise and relief. He was carrying Tori and was holding Kuma's hand while Grimmjow was holding Ela and Umi's hands. Grimmjow quickly opened the door to let everyone in.
When the kids spotted Shiro and Ichigo, their faces brightened as they broke from Gin and Grimmjow's grips, all squealing as they climbed onto the couch and hugged their parent and uncle. All four were squawking incoherently as they cried in Ichigo and Shiro's arms, the youngest, Tori, sucking on her thumb as she sobbed the hardest.
Kuma was being held by Shiro as she cried into his neck, repeating the singular word 'Uncle-Shi' Over and over again. She had missed her mother but her uncle was the only free pair of arms she could sob into at that moment. Shiro had an unusually soft expression as he pet the girl's hair, his other arm hooked underneath the girls bottom to hold her up.
Ichigo was holding Tori in one arm and Ela in the other arm and he was crying by now, slouched against Shiro's side. Umi clung to his middle, her thumb in her mouth as big tears fell down her cheeks. They were all wearing less than appropriate clothing, torn and ragged in some places, and it all looked to be about two sizes too big. "What a sweet sight" Gin stated.
Grimmjow nodded slightly, though all the crying he knew all of them were happy. "Th-thank you..." Ichigo said quietly, now looking at Grimmjow.
He bit his lip and looked down again, burying his face against the hair of two of his children. Grimmjow just nodded again, smiling slightly. He was happy that Ichigo was happy. "Were they out or in their cage when you found 'em?" Shiro asked, looking over at the two with a serious expression.
"Ela was out of hers but the others were still in their cages" Grimmjow replied.
"Infinity's slipping then. He always locks the locks himself." Shiro murmured, both Ichigo and Shiro hugging the girls a little tighter when they whimpered at the mention of their father. "I don want him to poke me wif a needle again..." Tori whimpered, her eyes red and puffy as she spoke. Her words were slurred, as if she had just learned how to talk- witch at her age she probably had. The other three nodded at the comment.
"Maybe…but the locks are pretty easy to pick and Infinity is a busy man…he can't always be locking the locks" Grimmjow sighed.
"I would say…he is influencing doctors, fighters, soldiers, people in general…power, speed, strength, obedience, intelligence…tch miracle drug my a-butt" Gin offered
"Still. He's in there three times a day for checkups and to check the locks... We only ever got an hour with them a day." Shiro sighed. Ichigo nodded.
"Damn he is a bad dad…locking up his kids and then keeping them away from their mom and uncle" Gin stated.
"Think Aizen…just 10 times more controlling and 100 times more demanding" Grimmjow sighed.
"…I would have killed myself in like 10 minutes" Gin responded.
"...He had told me that he had a few alphas that he wanted to breed me with, to see how the cubs turned out... last time I saw there were ten cages... He is always adding and taking.. always changing how many cubs he wanted me to have.. how many were there?" Ichigo asked, his voice softer than usual. Shiro glanced at him, worry in his eyes.
"About 15…only 5 used…but the 5th one wasn't human…and it was dead" Grimmjow replied.
Ichigo winced and didn't reply. "...That's odd, that place is only used for Ichi's cubs." Shiro said, running a hand through Kuma's hair. All four had quieted down, their eyes closed. Though Tori was still sniffling.
"My guess…test tube baby gone wrong" Gin replied.
"I-I don't like that..." Ichigo whispered after a moment. Shiro grimaced and nodded in agreement.
"I doubt Infinity was happy either" Gin shrugged.
Grimmjow sighed, nodding slightly. "I have to go to work now...you two stay here...Gin call me if anything happens" Grimmjow sighed.
Ichigo and Shiro watched him leave, before they started tending to the four cubs in their arms, whom had fallen asleep. Gin watched, just sitting on the couch. Ichigo had curled himself around his four cubs, all five of them sleeping right next to each other in a little ball as Shiro lay over them protectively. Gin despite his cold and creepy, almost snake like personality, he adored cute things like this. He smiled. He was SO glad Grimmjow had work tonight.
Morning came all too soon, Shiro already awake but still curled over the other five as they slept. Gin was curled up like a fox in a cave on the armchair. Grimmjow came in through the door silently. Shiro stiffened as he looked over at Grimmjow before relaxing. "Shh, they all still asleep." He said quietly as to not wake them. Grimmjow nodded. He was still in his clothes from yesterday. Much bloodier than before. He went to his room silently, changing real quickly. Shiro only watched, glancing down when Ichigo shifted slightly and stilled. He blew out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding and sighed softly when he realized that they hadn't disturbed any of them. Gin shifted, getting up and out of the chair. He snuck into Grimmjow's room to sneak the hell out of the other. Shiro watched with a smirk. Either Gin was about to get hurt or Grimmjow was about to get the shit scared out of him. Maybe both. Gin entered Grimmjow's room, surprised that the other was gone. He looked around, confused. "Out of the room" Grimmjow growled from behind Gin, scaring HIM. Gin jumped slightly, turning to Grimmjow. Gin's eyes flew open as he rushed from the room. He curled back on the chair, hands over his bleeding nose. Shiro nearly laughed at him. But he caught himself just in time. Smirking, he slowly crawled up and off of his family, whom were still all curled up into a ball. Ichigo squirmed slightly from the loss of warmth, but otherwise didn't wake. Grimmjow leaned against the bedroom door, wearing only pants now. He smirked at his silver haired friend. Gin glared at him, mouthing "I hate you so much"
Shiro walked up to him and chuckled quietly. "Yah got anythin' I can feed 'em? I normally get tha' food." He announced.
"Yeah…kitchen that way…can't find anything for them and I can go to the store" Grimmjow replied.
Shiro nodded and wandered off to the kitchen. A few minutes later he walked back in with only a few boxes of plain grain cereal. When Grimmjow gave him a questioning look, he chuckled bitterly. "Gotta give 'em light food. Don' wanna hurt them with anything that'll hurt their stomachs like cooked food..." He paused for a moment.
"'Bout four years ago infinity started givin' us supplement pills and water instead of food, though we got real food sometimes, it was... well, raw." He sighed.
"Tha' cubs have never really eaten real food before so we gotta slowly transfer 'em." Shiro growled softly after he finished before walking over to his family curled up on the couch and setting the cereal down on the side of it.
"I like Infinity less and less with each word you said" Gin muttered.
"I am surprised you guys could be this healthy on that crap…yes it's good for you but it doesn't give you EVERYTHING you need" Grimmjow growled.
"I know." Shiro stated in a rather soft tone, before slowly setting a hand on Ichigo's head and running his fingers though his hair. He leaned over and whispered into his ear, Ichigo's eyes slowly opening. The orangette tensed and looked around with wide eyes before relaxing when he realized were they were.
"Morning Ichi" Grimmjow greeted softly.
Gin was now staring at his phone. "Seems Aizen thinks I'm dead or worse" he chuckled softly.
"Why would he thi…how texts are there?" Grimmjow asked.
"Over 200 texts, 128 missed calls, all with voice mail, umm 17 facebook posts, 873 twitter posts, 95 emails, and… a youtube video" Gin replied.
"…Your dad is insane" Grimmjow muttered.
"...Wait- what?" Shiro asked, staring at them.
Ichigo was no better. He looked baffled and lost at the same time, though part of it was most likely the fact that he was still half asleep. Tori started to stir, her head slowly lifting as she yawned. She was in the middle of the ball, the rest of them huddled around her. Shiro looked down at her before leaning down to nuzzle her forehead.
"I have a crazy adopted dad…he is very protective of me cuz I had a messed up childhood" Gin shrugged. "Also that is adorable" he added when Shiro nuzzled Tori's forehead.
"...Unkle-shi?" Tori asks groggily, her eyes already falling closed again. Shiro chuckled quietly, carefully removing her from the ball and letting her rest her head on his shoulder while one arm hooked under her bottom and the other wrapped around her middle. tori began to suck on her thumb before she noticed the boxes of cereal. "What is thwat?" She asked.
"It's cereal…which is food" Gin replied.
"...Cerweal?" She asked, looking at him curiously. Shiro smiled lightly. "Yeah. It's real good. It's better than that pill and water." He said, his voice soft and warm. "...Really?" Tori asked, looking at the boxes curiously.
"It's very good Tori" Grimmjow replied.
"Can they have milk?" Gin asked.
After a moment Shiro shook his head. "Water and cereal will have to do for now. Even now I think that it's going to be hard on them..."
Ichigo spoke for the first time that morning. "I don't want them to get sick..." His voice was muffled slightly because he was nuzzling Ela's hair.
"...I dun wanna get sick!" Tori said, now looking warily at the cereal. "The needles made me sick and I dun like it..." She whispered, her hands balling in Shiro's thin shirt.
"You wouldn't get sick" Grimmjow promised.
"...You sure?" Tori asked, looking up at him with hopeful eyes.
"Very" Grimmjow replied, giving her a slight smile.
Tori smiled back, before putting her thumb in her mouth again. Ela started to stir, her eyes opening slowly as Ichigo nuzzled and kissed her forehead. "Momma..." She said softly, looking confused that she was still with her mother.
Umi and Kuma woke up soon after. "...Momma... I'm hungry." Umi complained, the four of them sitting up now, though they were all huddled close together. Shiro chuckled and set Tori down and crawled off of the couch and grabbed the boxes of cereal.
"How much are you gonna give them?" Gin asked, sitting next to a bunch of bowls of water, each with a spoon.
Grimmjow sighed, sitting in the slightly blood covered arm chair. "Not much. Their not used to so much and I don't want to make them throw up." Shiro sighed, opening the box. All four of the little kids looked at him curiously.
"Well I got some water…and I can get more if needed" Gin chirped.
"You are an idiot" Grimmjow muttered.
"Yet you let me near sharp objects…maybe you are just as stupid" Gin teased.
"Are you just going to stay at my house till Aizen calls the police and reports you missing?" Grimmjow asked.
"Yup~" Gin grinned.
Ichigo just stared at them. The four kids stood up and crawled off of the couch and over to Shiro, looking at him curiously.
"What?" Gin asked, cocking his head to the side, smiling at Ichigo.
Ichigo blushed a little and looked away, but made no move to get off of the couch. Shiro looked over at him. "You okay?" He asked as he put a little cereal in the bowls. "I-I'm fine..." Ichigo murmured. "Just... not hungry..."
"Eat something at least Ichigo" Grimmjow sighed.
Ichigo shook his head and leaned back on the couch, his arms wrapped around his abdomen. Shiro frowned, staring at Ichigo for a moment before giving the bowls to the four kids. He showed them how to use a spoon and told them to make sure to chew allot before he got up and went over to Ichigo.
Grimmjow opened his mouth to ask Ichigo something when a loud knocking sounded at the door. He got up and went to the door. "What the hell you want" he growled as he opened the door.
