They lived in the cave. They had lived there for about a month. Gin started hunting with Pantera. At least the meat caught was closer to what the girls had eaten before. The group was slowly working to cooked food. Living in the forest was relatively quiet. That was good for the hiding group. Ichigo had started showing quite allot, making Shiro not move from his side at all, even during the morning sickness. He would just sit there with him and rub his back gently and afterwards he would just hold him for a while. Tori had become inseparable from Gin, they had even caught her trying to sneak out to try and follow him when they went hunting... multiple times. Gin didn't mind much. Grimmjow and Ulquiorra were normally busy with the other girls unless Ichigo and Shiro were up for caring for them. Pantera was constantly stealing the girls and scolding Grimmjow and Ulquiorra for their 'horrible parenting'.

Right now Ichigo was resting against a rock that was slanted upwards, allowing him to sit and recline a little to relax. Shiro was draped across his lap on his stomach, rather, what he could lay across because some of his lap was covered by his stomach.

The floor of the cave was rather soft, it was like that dusty dirt you would sometimes find on bare spots in your yard on a dry spell was poured over the ground and patted down so it wouldn't stick to you, making the ground firm yet soft.

There was a rather large fire resting a few feet away from them in a hole that Pantera had dug out of the soft ground.

They were near the mouth of the cave so the moonlight would pour in but far enough back that they wouldn't be spotted and the rain wouldn't get to them if it should rain. Grimmjow and Ulquiorra had just managed to drag the girls into the cave. Gin and Pantera were still out for a quick late hunt. Umi and Tori pouted, the latter looking about ready to cry while Kuma and Ela merely huffed and crawled over to Ichigo and Shiro. "Gin will be back soon Tori" Grimmjow sighed.

"Gin will be back now" Gin chuckled, dropping his catch.

"Mr Gin!" Tori squealed, running over and latching onto his leg.

Shiro, apparently, had fallen asleep, most likely because Ichigo had been running his fingers through his hair. Gin picked up Tori and kissed her forehead. "I told you Gin is fine" he teased.

The little girl giggled and licked his cheek. Gin looked offended for a second before he did the same. That only made her squeal in laughter. Gin grinned at that. He adored Tori and playing with her. "What did you get? What did you get!" She giggled excitedly, tugging on his shirt.

"Guess" he smirked.

"Umm... bunny? Um... deer?" She asked, her faced pinched up in concentration.

"Yes, I caught a deer…but I caught something for you too" Gin smiled, holding a hand out. It was closed. When he opened it, a tiny butterfly sat there. It was an orange, white, and blue butterfly. She gasped. "Oh wow! It's so pretty!" Tori exclaimed, reaching a hand out to touch it, making the butterfly fly out of his hand only to land on her nose. Ichigo smiled softly at them. "I think so too…but I guess what people say is true…the prettier it is, the harder to catch it is" Gin chuckled.

"Can I keep it?" Tori asked, looking up at him with big, blue eyes.

"Maybe…but butterflies are normally social creatures…and they like flying around with other butterflies…but I think this one likes you a lot so it might stay" Gin smiled. "And if you keep it, you have to name it" he added.

"Ummmmm... Chō?" Tori asked thoughtfully as her eyes went cross eyed as she tried to look at the butterfly.

Gin moved his hand near the butterfly as he took one of Tori's hand as well. Cho pushed off of Tori's nose, landing on the hand Gin had Tori stretch out. "A cute name" Gin smiled.

She giggled and nuzzled him. Ichigo chuckled softly from his position on the floor. "I'm glad you two met.." He stated.

"I bet there are too" Grimmjow snorted, licking Umi clean. Grimmjow then mentally groaned. Pantera was affecting him. He stole a glance at Ulquiorra who was being cleaned by Pantera, despite his protests. Kuma was laughing at Ulquiorra as he tried to get away from the panther while Umi was simply giggling as she was cleaned. Grimmjow smirked at Ulquiorra as he continued to clean the child in his grip. Ulquiorra finally gave up and took his licking like an emo teenager.

"Mr Emo is funny!" Tori giggled from her perch on Gin's shoulders, the man having just put her there.

Kuma walked a little closer to the fire and plopped down with a yawn before she curled up in a ball on the soft ground. "He is…my little brother is" Gin chirped.

"I am older than you" Ulquiorra growled, trying to laid his hair flat again.

"But Mr Gin is taller!" Umi said, tilting her head to the side.

"Therefore older" Gin finished.

"You are a very bad influence on them" Ulquiorra growled.

"You are just jealous cuz you aren't as fun" Gin stuck out his tongue.

All of the girls giggled at that. Ulquiorra's eye twitched but he said nothing. Grimmjow snorted, rolling his eyes. Ichigo actually laughed loudly. Gin then did the diva snap thing. Ulquiorra groaned, laying his face in the ground, hoping to suffocate. Tori giggled and gripped onto Gin's hair. Umi pointed at the ravenette. "Is he okay?" she asked curiously as she looked up at Grimmjow.

"…Nope…Gin is a tough guy to deal with" Grimmjow smirked. Pantera grabbed the back of Ulquiorra's shirt, lifting his face, forcing him to breathe.

"Oh." Umi tilted her head to the side, her eyes wide and curious.

Grimmjow smiled, glancing at Gin who was tickling Tori. "At least to Ulquiorra Gin is a pain to deal with" Grimmjow chuckled. Tori was laughing loudly, causing Shiro to stir in his sleep, his eyes opening blearily as he grumbled to himself before turning on his side facing Ichigo. He slid his arms around the other's stomach and hugged himself a little closer before trying to fall back asleep. It made the orangetet blush and smile all at the same time before a chuckle slipped through his lips as he ran his hand through the other's hair soothingly. Grimmjow smirked. "Maybe the girls should go to sleep as well" Grimmjow suggested.

"AWWW! But I wanna spend more time with Mr. Gin!" Tori whined, hiding all but her eyes in Gin's hair. Umi pouted. Ela had wandered over to Ichigo's side and was curled up next to him, already asleep. Kuma had fallen asleep. Gin smiled. "We can do something in the morning…I am gonna go to the sleep too" Gin chirped, taking her off his shoulders and kissing her nose. Pantera released Ulquiorra and took Umi from Grimmjow. She curled up near Gin and Tori with Umi. Tori pouted but curled up in Gin's arms, her head snuggled into his chest. "Can I sleep with you?" She asked, not really giving a choice in the matter. Umi buried her face into Pantera's soft fur. Gin nodded slightly, laying down. He smiled. Grimmjow sighed. Pantera never let him have one of the kids. She always took them. Grimmjow sighed, crawling over and curling up with them. Pantera wrapped her tail around Grimmjow, purring. Ulquiorra picked up Kuma from her spot on the floor and lay her near Grimmjow who grabbed her and pulled her into the warm bunch. Ichigo had started to nod off, his head tilting to the side with his hair falling into his face slightly. He gently woke Shiro up, the white-haired man grumbling sleepily but let the orangette slide down into a sleeping position before he curled up next to him again, using his lap as a pillow, a scowl etched into his face even as he fell back asleep.

Yayz =D
