Author's note : Hi people I'm back with a new chapter. Bet you would like it. Remember the golden rule : Like = R&R. Don't like = don't read. Without further interruption, here is Chapter 2.
-Kurosaki Clinic-
Ichigo woke up in the morning with a tingling sensation on his lips, and he was surprise. For once his dad didn't jump into the room through the window or bash the door down, then woke him up the Isshin's way. His left side felt warm and his arm hurt. Looking to the left, he saw Hilda, his so-called wife, and baby Beel, his adopted son, still sleeping. Ichigo touched his lips, still remember the sweet flavor and the feelings he had last night, when his first kiss was taken. Hilda, by that time was awake, slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ichigo, smiled. But this was interrupted by the sounds of baby Beel waking up. She lifted him up, and climbed over Ichigo toward the window. She opened it, and called out to her demon bird, which was sleeping in the yard. Ak-Baba immediately flew up with a single swing of its wings, and hovered in front of the windows, Hilda's shoulder bag in its beak. After Hilda took the bag, it descended down and continued its nap.
Ichigo just looked at the woman before him, fingers still touching his lips while his emotions ran rampant. It's not like he had never seen a girl in a pj before, but the thing with Rukia was different. She was sleeping in his closet, and wore Yuzu's pj. To him, Rukia was like a sister. But when he looked at Hilda, he felt different. Having she woke up beside him, and she in his pj, which was a few sizes too big, making the clothes sagged a little, revealed her body to him, made him blush.
"You want her don't ya Kingy ?" his Hollow laughed. "Don't deny it. I'm you remember ? I know what you want."
"Just shut up" Ichigo said mentally. He looked at Hilda, who in turn was changing into her normal dress. This made him blush furiously and tried to fight back a nosebleed. He jumped out of the bed, snatched baby Beel who was laying on the bed and ran out of the room. Hilda was left in the room wondering, but then she just shook her head and continued to change.
Downstairs, Ichigo was munching on a piece of toast with eggs made by Yuzu, when Hilda tossed him a bag. He looked inside and saw that it contained 3 bottles filled with milk.
"These are food for the master. These should be enough for today."
Ichigo simply raised an eyebrow, wondering why she gave it to him but then Hilda spoke.
"Of course you are going to bring him anywhere you go. The master is attached to you, and if you are too far from him, he shall cry. You know the result."
Ichigo wanted to open his mouth to find a valid reason to decline, but found none. Then he just slammed his head to the table, causing it nearly to break. After that, he just took his bag with one hand, while the other one lifted baby Beel up and let him latch onto his shoulder and walked out. He got a lot of stares toward him, or to be exact, toward his shoulder. But no one dared to speak to him, considering his usual scowl on his face, added with his reputation around Kurakara Town, one would think it's wise to not speak with him. Ichigo didn't know what is wrong with him, or baby Beel, then realization hit him like a brick. Baby Beel was naked the whole time. He made a mental note to bring him and Hilda to go shopping for clothes after school. But now he had to dash to school or else he would be in trouble. He had been late too often due to his work that his teachers didn't care anymore, but Ichigo feel guilty.
-Kurakara's High School-
When he entered the class, all eyes were on him. Whispers started to spreading through the class, with the exception of his small group friends. But their reactions at the baby indicated enough that they have questions. Tatsuki just frowned, Chad's hair was covered his face so no one could tell what he was thinking, Uryu just adjusted his glasses and Orihime just smiled and wave at Ichigo and Beel. The first period went pretty smoothly, and for Ichigo's part, he just dazed out the window. But then during lunch is when the trouble began. Tatsuki was the first one walked to his table and stared at him questioningly. Ichigo just scratched his head and said.
"I believe you guys have a few questions."
"You are damn right we do." Tatsuki just slammed her hand on the table.
By the mean time the gang was gathering around him. Ichigo decided to choose his words carefully, another thing that he never did. He didn't want to involve his friends deeper in his mess, knowing that would only bring more troubles. His friends had suffered enough from all the battles they had gone through because of him. Taking a deep breath, he gave his answer.
"Well, after several complicated things, I've become a father".
The reactions were different. Chad just frowned, not that anyone can see anyway. Uryu put his hands on Ichigo's shoulder, and said "Congratulations". Orihime and Tatsuki just laughed at the thought of Ichigo being a father. Mizuro just stood there texting, nut gave him a thumb up. Keigo just ROFLed, unable to hold his tears.
"Please do not make fun of my husband please." An cold voice spoke.
All heads turned to direction where the voice came from. There at the door stood Hilda, fully dressed in the Kurakara High uniform. She smirked, and walked to Ichigo, the latter had only one thought running through his head.
"Oh shit." He mentally cursed. His hollow just stood there inside his head and laughed like crazy.
"What are you doing here ?" Ichigo asked after found his voice back.
"Can't a woman come and look for the father of her child ?" was Hilda's answer before she lifted Beel up and proceed to sit on Ichigo's lap. This caused everyone else in the class to gasp. Orihime just smiled, and walked away while Tatsuki glared daggers at him. Before Ichigo can figure out what happened, Keigo just came crying at him with arms wide open, wailing "Ichigo you are so mean!". This earned him a double kick, each from Ichigo and Hilda. This time it's Chad that gave Ichigo a thumb up, while Uryu wished him good luck and walked away after Orihime.
"Oi, what the hell are you doing here anyway." Ichigo asked after everyone was gone.
"You forgot your bento." Hilda said as she picked his bento out of her shoulder bag. "Beside I'm the master's parent. I have the duty to watch over him, and the only way to do so is enroll into this filthy human school."
"Don't look so low on human. We are stronger than you think." Ichigo said, feeling insulted. "How do you enroll into this school anyway, you didn't kill or threaten anyone for this did you ? "
"Don't worry. I enroll into this school the official way. Being a high class demon has it benefits you know, such as the right connection." She smiled at him, making him turned away, slightly nervous. "I'm sorry if I insulted you, but that is the way I am."
"You seriously want to be my wife don't you ?". This earned him a nod from Hilda, who was currently feeding Beel with a bottle of milk. "Why ?".
"At first it was because the master chose you, so I have no choice but to become your wife. We don't want our cover to be blown, at least not until the master is fully mature. Secondly, we demon race are a race that looks up to power. Those with higher power deserve our respect, and with us females," Hilda looked at him and smiled, "our affections."
Ichigo's ears were as red as they could be. Did she just confess to him ? Well, sorta since she said he had gained her affections.
"Whoo ! Way to go King. You just scored big time. And here I am fearing that my karma was so bad I've been put into a gay guy."
"I'm not gay ! Zangetsu, what should I do ?"
"I don't see a reason to panic. Just accept her feelings. As part of you, I know you like her too, although it's just a bit."
Before Ichigo could wake up from his inner debate whether he would answer Hilda's "affections" or not, she already pulled him closer and took another kiss, more passionate than last night. Everyone in the room just instantly froze, and after the kiss, they all just gasped for air. In the meantime Ichigo had already noticed what his body felt, but it's already too late.
"Well, it's not like we can go back anyway." He said sheepishly at Hilda, who in turn smiled slyly at him. "We might just as well as work something out."
The bell ended the lunch as well as their conversation. The homeroom teacher walked in announced.
"Well guys we got a new student today." He looked around, but found none of the surprised faces like he expected, but found the reason sitting on Ichigo's lap. He pointed out to her and gave her an inviting wave.
"Would you please come over here and introduced yourself to the class."
Ichigo just nodded at Hilda, and she gave him Beel, who was still sucking at the almost empty bottle, and walked toward the board. She gave the rest of the class a slight nod and introduced herself.
"My name is Kurosaki Hildagard." All eyes rested on Ichigo, again. "You can call me Hilda. As you see my name has the Kurosaki part in it, because I'm Ichigo's wife." Again this caused the whole class to gasp for air, while some of the guys stared at Ichigo full with jealousy. As for Ichigo's part, he just put his face down against his desk to hide the embarrassment. Fortunately Orihime wasn't there, since she got gym with Tatsuki.
The rest of the day went quite well, much to Ichigo's surprise. Every time he sensed a hollow, before he could react, it was gone. Of course, this frustrated him, but he figured that afro guy must have taken care of it, since the amount of reiatsu was pretty low. Hilda was assigned to sit at the back, but she just took a seat next to him, by simply sending Keigo an icy glare, making the poor guy nearly stumbled on the floor. When class ended, everyone just left to spread the rumors throughout the school, with the exception of the gang, waiting for Ichigo to walk home together.
"Sorry guys, but I have something else to take care of." Ichigo said. "You guys just go home first, okay?"
"I'll see you at school tomorrow then Kurosaki." Ishida said.
"Okay, bye guys." Ichigo said when they parted ways at the gate. He turned to Hilda, and held her hand with baby Beel on his back. This little action made the both of them blush, although Hilda hid her emotions better than Ichigo, whose emotions were evident on his face.
"So where are we going ?" Hilda asked. Ichigo pointed at her and Beel, simply stated.
"You two can't be like this all the time, you know."
"What do you mean ?" Hilda asked.
"Well, for instance, he's naked. We can't have him doing that all the time. Secondly, I want to buy you some clothes to wear. I don't think the Lolita dress can't be worn all the time, right ? Beside, you can't just wear my pj every night."
"But I like your pj." Hilda pouted a little, making Ichigo blushed. He never thought a demon woman could be looking this cute. Not to mention the fact that she was trying to take his life yesterday, and totally fawning over him today.
"Just go with me, okay. Think of this as a date, and then we can learn more about each other."
Hilda just nodded. She knew that this is a custom for human to go on dates to learn about their partners, but for herself this would be the first time she go on one beside the theories she learned back in the Demon World. Of course, this is the same for Ichigo, as it's the first time he took a girl out for a date. Lucky for him he's loaded. Apparently saving the world from an evil Soul Reaper with a god complex and killing 2 Espadas had earned him enough money to live through the rest of his life with comfort, not to mention the money he earned from his daily duty as a Substitute Shinigami.
-Kurakara Town-
On his way to the mall, there were whispering about the three of them. The old folks commented between "Young love" and "Kids these days", while some other couples just looked at them and frowned. Even some punks had the nerve to walked up to them and tried to hit on Hilda. Needless to said, they were all defeated in less than 30 seconds by said woman. Their date went smoothly, and they ended up buying a lot. Baby Beel got 5 pairs of matching clothes sets for now, all of them must be to Hilda's liking, as she said "must be worthy for the master". For Hilda, Ichigo bought her a few summer dress, 2 yukatas and a black kimono with autumn leaves designs on it, together with fishnet stockings. As for lingerie Ichigo let her decided for herself, but Hilda insisted on him check it out for her, and Ichigo ended up having trouble holding his flood of nosebleed back.
-Kurosaki Clinic-
The surprise his father got in store for both of them was when they were home. Of course, Isshin didn't greeted Ichigo with his usual "Daddy's Miraculous Flying Kick", but just his usual goofy smile, and lifted baby Beel from Ichigo's back and went to the living room to play with him. Yuzu greeted them and told them that dinner would be ready soon, and they should go and get changed. But the real surprise is behind his door.
As Ichigo opened the door to his room, he just dropped his bags and his jaw nearly touched the floor. His old room was gone, and instead he found a new room, not really a room, but rather an apartment. Gone were his old desk, bed, closet and drawer. But instead he found a double king size bed, and next to it was a baby cribs, complete with a dream catcher hovering above it. Looking to the right, he saw his old school stuffs, next to 2 office desks, fully equipped with computers and references books. Looking to the left, he saw that he got his own kitchen, linked to a bathroom and shower.
Ichigo just let all the bags there and went downstairs. Looking at his dad playing with Beel, he asked.
"Did you and Hat-n-Clogs adjust my room to a warped dimension ?"
"Yes we did. Think of it as a present for your wedding, and thanks for you to bring me a wonderful grandchild."
"Thank you." Ichigo said back. This brought tears to Isshin's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. Leaning closer, he whispered into Ichigo's ears.
"By the way, we made the area around the bed soundproof. Just hit the button on top of the bed to switch the barrier on or off. The condom box is in the drawer. Have fun. Having a demon as a wife is not easy.".
"Don't ruin the moment dad." Ichigo said, annoyed, after refraining himself from smashing his dad into the wall. But then he realized what he father just did say, and he's shocked.
"How did you find out ?" He asked.
"I'm your father." Was Isshin's simple answer.
Decided not to press on this matter further, Ichigo left. Figured that Hilda was a demon, seeing some kind of warped dimension wasn't fazing her at all, and even so, she wouldn't let it shown on her face. Walking back to his room, he found that Hilda had already putting all the bought clothes into their respective drawers.
"Let's change. After the dinner we need to go somewhere." Ichigo said. She in turn just looked at him with a curious stare.
"I wanna go a give my gratitude to the guy who made this room for us."
Hilda just nodded and finished cleaning up their clothes while Ichigo go to the bathroom to change. Even though they are currently dating and living together, not to mention the fact that they are posing off as husband and wife, Hilda just can't help but laugh at his shyness, and this is the same for his Hollow.
"Oh come on King I can't believe you just didn't bang her brains out right now on your freakin soundproof bed. What the hell are you thinking. Do you really want me to go all out to take over and start the game ?".
"Just shut up. I'm not a pervert like you okay. When the time comes, it happens, no need to rush it. Besides, I want to get to know her better first."
"Well I shall be patient for now, just because you are my King. But if you go along with this whole thing you might just as well seal the deal.. so …"
And it was suddenly quiet. Ichigo was wondering why the connection was cut when Zangetsu spoke.
"I just shut him up for you. He was getting on my nerves to. Especially when he starts to project inappropriate images."
Wondering what was so inappropriate, but then knowing his hollow was a pervert, it's better not to ask. Ichigo didn't even want to know. He said goodbye to his sword and went downstairs for dinner with Hilda, who in the meantime had already changed into a yukata.
-Urahara's Candy Shop-
After dinner he took baby Beel on his back and said that he was going with Hilda for a walk. They went to the candy shop of Urahara, only to find its owner sitting in his living room, his ever present white-green striped hat on his head and white paper fan in his hand, his cane on the floor next to him. What surprised both Ichigo and Hilda is that the person sitting next to Urahara.
"Oi, you are the drowned guy yesterday." Ichigo pointed at the man.
"I wasn't drowned, simply floating." He answered.
"Whatever" Hilda said. "Explain to me why you are here Alandelon ?"
"You know him ?" Ichigo asked, only to meet Hilda's cold stare. Realizing his mistake, he slapped his forehead. "Oh yeah, he was carrying baby Beel. But that still doesn't explain why he's here."
"About that, he's just a business partner." Urahara answered. He was met by both Ichigo's and Hilda's stares.
"What ? You don't think that I, an exiled from the Soul Society, could waltz into Squad 12 and ask for supply, right ?".
"I never heard of such things. Is this true Alandelon ?" Hilda asked.
"Yes Hilda-san. By the way, here is the item you requested."
Alandelon just split himself open again and pulled out a box stamped "Demon Delivery Express" and handed it to Hilda.
"Okay that was disturbing." Ichigo said.
Urahara and Alandelon just smiled while Hilda said nothing.
"Anyway, I just want to come along and say thanks for fixing my room." Ichigo continued.
"The pleasure is all mine Kurosaki-kun." Urahara said, a smile behind his fan. "By the way, from now on, your duty is to deal with the hollows from menos and up. All low class hollows shall be dealt with by Zennosuke-san."
"Who ?" Ichigo asked. He wasn't so good at remembering people he barely knew.
"The afro guy."
"Oh." Now Ichigo remembered. He had come across him during his fight with Aizen. He turned to Alandelon and said. "I still have a question for you."
"Yes please feel free to ask." Alandelon said and sipped at his tea.
"Why did you give me baby Beel ?"
"Well, when I was floating at the river when I felt your power. That was really significant. Then I saw you wounding the hollow, and yes we demon are fully aware of them and shinigami, let it suffered, and gave it a mouse and cat game, making it hopeful and took away that hope by blocking his way. The you finished it off mercilessly when it was at its knees. Then I knew immediately we are the guy we are looking for. And I was right, look at how Master is so attached to him."
Ichigo just looked at the Freddie Mercury look-a-like, rubbing his temples in frustration. Technically, what the guy said, from a demon point of view, Ichigo indeed did what he said. But the guy just made him look so evil, and that he was not. Not fully, anyway.
"Tsk, whatever. I have done what I wanted to do here, so we are going home." Ichigo said, and waved goodbye back to the two men on his way to the gate. It was a long day, and on his way home, Ichigo can't help but wonder what his friends in the Soul Society gonna react when they heard he got a wife and a kid. But, knowing Urahara, he believed the news shall be spreading faster than Yoruichi can shunpo. But for now, all he cared was to get a good night sleep.
Author's note : And that's it for now folks. Thanks anyone who even bother to read my story, and special thanks to my reviewers, I love your reviews. 145 hits and 98 visitors in the first 3 days, that's quite a lot, and I'm so proud of myself. As how the story developed, I have no idea, just kinda go with the flow. But I already have an end in mind so don't worry, it shall be updated regularly without writer's block.
A bit too much fluff, don't you think ? if you wonder why baby Beel didn't shock Ichigo not even once, it's because his power are feeding Beel, causing him to calm down. I'm going to remove the limit between Ichigo and Beel, it kinda get in the way of the fight. Of course there shall be a demon mark, but not on Ichigo's hand. If you can guess where it's gonna be I shall grant you one adjustment to your choice to the story itself. Next chapter is up next week, but I don't know when, so you will just have to wait for it. Bye now guys, see you next chapter.
