-Ichigo's "apartment"-

After he made some milk for baby Beel in his own kitchen, he fed him. After putting the little guy on the bed, he went to sit near the window and went into his inner mind. The whole harem thing really put him into an awkward position. When it came to relationship, he was a rather traditional one. About Hilda, he liked her. Hell, you could even say he loved her. But the thing about Nell and Hallibel was different. He saw Nell as a friend, maybe like a little sister when she was in her child form, but that's it. He even barely knew Hallibel, let alone let her become his lover. He just grudgingly accepted the two as lovers because he didn't want to get on Hilda's bad side. She even threatened him over sex. Not that he was such a pervert, but admit it, any guy would be a complete idiot for declining sex from his own girl, and a hot one at that. This was the same for Ichigo, even though he didn't want to admit it. And so instead he wandered into his own mind, hoping to find the answers that would help him solve this matter.

He found his partner sitting on his ever so favorite flagpole, a grim expression on his face. His orange shades hid the eyes beneath, but Ichigo could notice that they were red and swollen. He knew that his soul was crying, but it wasn't anything serious, since the sun was shining so bright inside his head. Groaned, he tapped Zangetsu on the shoulder. The man just put out another black handkerchief and cleaned his eyes before looking up to Ichigo.

"I guess you need my wisdom again."

"Yeah. The whole thing about wife and lovers is really problematic." Ichigo pinched the bridge of his nose, his scowl deepened. "I mean, Hilda is fine, although I don't know if I'm moving on too fast. But adding two more girls who want to be my lovers, on top of that I barely even know one of the two."

"Look deep into your heart Ichigo." Zangetsu materialized a sofa and a couch, making it looks like some sort of psychiatric office. "Do you have any kind of affections towards them ?"

"No, not really." Ichigo settled himself down on the couch. "Nell is more like a sister to me. I mean I met her when she was in child form, so I never guess she was a grown up. Although she is really into that lover thing, I don't think I could respond her feeling." Ichigo took a sip from the orange juice that Zangetsu materialized before continued. "About Hallibel, I barely know her, so even if she's an Arrancar, I don't hate her, but I don't have any special feelings for her either."

Zangetsu, who had listened to the whole story, just nodded and started a wise man speech.

"Listen to me Ichigo. Your name means "One who protects". If you denied their feelings, they will be heartbroken. Would you be protecting them then ? Even though loving and protecting one may not be the same for you, it is the same for them. By loving them, you give them support, thus protect them. You may as well as act according to your name's sake."

"You couldn't expect me to love them right away could you ?"

"You made love with Hilda after know her for two days. You never met her before that. And it worked out fine, so why not with other girls ?"

"Are you serious ?" Ichigo yelled. "Do you really want me to have a relationship with multiple girls ?"

"Ichigo, I'm your sword, not your heart." Zangetsu simply stated as he faded away. "I can merely give you advices, but what you want to do is your own choice."

Ichigo groaned. He really didn't want to do this, and never thought he would, but he did one thing that he probably never would do it again. He asked that guy for advice. Frustrated, he called out for his Hollow.

"So my King want to speak with me ?" the hollow snickered. "If it's about the babes, I would agree with the old man for once. You better take them, or I will rip you from inside out and take over for some fun."

Yup, totally saw it coming. He knew his hollow often makes threats like this, but most of them weren't all that serious. But when it involves girls, that bastard was thousand times worse than Kon. So Ichigo took it to his heart that his Hollow would probably make that threat come true. Not that he was afraid that he couldn't take him on, but it was a frightening thing when Zangetsu and the Hollow agree on something. He knew this from his own experience when learning Mugetsu. But before he could respond the guy his mind was suddenly distorted as his vision blurred as everything went black.

"Do you reckon that we should tell him ?"

"King ain't stupid ya know. He'll find out soon enough." The Hollow cackled before flying away with a giant fly under his feet.

"Whoops, my bad." Nell said as she stroked Ichigo's swollen head gently. Apparently her tackle had too much force behind it, making Ichigo crashed his head against the window sill and blacked out. Hilda just stared at her in an icy gaze, but the air-head Arrancar never minded her. Hallibel just said nothing, but from her eyes, one could tell she was not really happy as well. But what made her and Hilda even more annoyed ( not that their expression would reveal their emotions anyway ) was that Nell had taken the opportunity to give Ichigo a deep kiss, letting her saliva flowing into his mouth as she broke the contact.

"Now this should wake him up." She smiled as innocently as ever. And of course, anyone who knows Nell would know that her saliva had a healing ability. True to her words, a few seconds later Ichigo blinked and slowly opened his eyes, only to see three figures towering above his head. He could feel a strange taste in his mouth, bittersweet and wet. He saw that Nell was smiling sheepishly, and he knew what happened. This time they didn't tackle him, but pushed him into their open arms for a group hug. It was forceful, but gentle. If this was Kon, he would die happily being buried in a sea of cleavage, but as the prude as he is, Ichigo really had a problem looking around, since everywhere he saw was a girl pushing him into her bosoms. And thus he closed his eyes, blocking the view which every man would kill for. To his relief, and slight disappointment ( probably from his hollow ), the hug didn't last long. But it was due to Ichigo's constant squirming and pushing the girls away. Nell just pouted, while Hilda and Hallibel looked with disappointment in their eyes.

"Ichi-nii, dinner is ready !". Yuzu shouted from the kitchen below.

"Be there in a minute !". Ichigo shouted back and turned to the girls. "Let's freshen up and head down. After dinner I want to have a talk with all of you."

After that, he snatched his adopted son from his cribs with the bottle still in his mouth and flied down the stairs. Ichigo frowned at Karin, who was being nice enough to drag Isshin toward the couch and let him lay on it. Like she knew what he meant, she simply answered.

"He would only get in the way if he lays there."

"Good point."

Ichigo sat down while letting baby Beel drinking the bottle in his hands. In the meantime, Yuzu already set up the table and the girls were coming down, each wore one of Ichigo's shirts. Nell was tugging at the hem of his shirt and almost squealed like a high school fangirl, Hallibel wore one of his rare turtlenecks, the collar covered her lower jaw, and Hilda just wore a black and red T-shirt with a 15 pattern on the side and jeans. If Ichigo was drinking water, he would spit it out right now. Somehow the girls looked really hot, and that came from a guy who had no experience complimenting girls. He could hear his Hollows wolf whistled and throwing a party inside his head, while somehow he could hear more sobbing from a flagpole. Ichigo ran a hand through his head and let out a sigh.

"Um, your dad isn't going to join us ?" Nell asked.

"Nah, it's better if he stayed there for a while." Ichigo said, ignored the frowns from both of the Arrancars.

Upon hearing this, Isshin immediately rose up from his "coma" and ran to the poster of his late wife, cried out about "cold-hearted children" and a bunch of his rants before heading to his clinic and curled up into a ball in some random emo corner and began to rock back and forth. Somehow Ichigo cracked up a smile and soon the rest would follow.

After dinner, Yuzu and Hallibel, to the surprise of anyone, cleaned up the table and soon she would follow Ichigo to his room. When Hallibel opened the door, she saw that Ichigo and Hilda were sitting on the edge of the bed while Nell was sitting on a chair, a free seat next to it. Needless to say, she sat down the remaining chair without any question.

"Ahem" Ichigo cleared his throat and started speaking with an authoritative sense in it. "Well, girls, I want to speak to you about our relationship. First Nell, I see you as a friend, but I'm not sure if I can return your feelings. Let me finish." Ichigo raised his hand when Nell wanted to speak. "But my heart told me that if I reject you, it would break your heart, and it is the same to you Hallibel. I know from my own experience, to have someone dear to you to leave you, it's painful. So I decided to stick with you guys, and I hope one day our feelings can be mutual. So are we clear ?"

Instead of answer the question, Nell gave him another hug, this time less forceful and to her surprise, Ichigo wrapped his arm around her, and motioned with the other hand for Hallibel to come closer and hugged her. The two Arrancars kissed him on the cheeks, and Ichigo was kinda flustered about this, but still, he preferred this rather having his face buried in their bosoms, again.

They chatted after a while to know more about each other. Of course Nell and Hallibel knew about Ichigo's job as a Shinigami, and he was a part Hollow. But they knew nothing about his "normal" life, his school and family. Ichigo told them pretty much everything about his life, his friends and their powers, his crazy dad, with the exception of his mother's death. Hilda had made a phone call and arranged that the Arrancars could enroll in Kurakara High, much to the displeasure if Ichigo.

Their conversation were cut short when the Vizard and the Arrancars felt something off. It was there in the air, in the middle of their room. The air was tingling, and the spirit particles were concentrated at one spot. It felt like someone opened up a Garganta, but it felt different than a normal one. Ichigo immediately popped a Soul Candy into his mouth and throw the dispenser to Nell and Hallibel, who also swallowed one each and got into battle position. Hilda just remained passive as ever, however, Ichigo could see that she had a new umbrella ready next to her feet. After telling the mod souls to hide in the bathroom, Ichigo unsheathed Zangetsu and held it firmly in one hand.

Right after their bodies were gone, the portal opened, and four people stepped out, and the portal immediately closed. What Ichigo noticed was that the first person who stepped out was a 10 years old boy with the same hair color as Beel. Following him was three girls, who also wore the same black Lolita dress as Hilda, and one of the girls looked exactly like Hilda, only with different hair style. Although stunned at this, Ichigo still held his hand firm and pointed the tip of his sword at the figures.

"Who are you, and what are you doing in my house ?". Ichigo asked.

At this, Hilda's other twin launched herself at Ichigo, a mop in her hand, ready to fight him off. But her attempt was thrown off by Hallibel, who gave the poor demon a kick in her mid-section, sending her falling backward, clutching her stomach in pain.

"No one disturbs my man when he is talking." Hallibel stated it as a simple fact.

The other girl, the one with the glasses pulled a white flag out of nowhere, when the boy started to clapped his hands, an evil grin plastered on his face.

"Relax, Mr. Parent of the Demon King. We came in peace. Please forgive my subordinate's incompetence. She's a little hot-headed, that's all."

The boy made a slight bow while the other three girls kneeled down to their knees, and started his introduction.

"My name is En. Lord En, the older brother of Beelzebub the 4th. The girl that your woman attacked was Hilda's twin, Yolda. The glasses girl is Izabella and that girl over there is Sachura."

After his introduction, Izabella takes out a book, and summons a large chair from it, for En's leisure to sit in, while Yolda fans him, and Sachura gives him a Sprite. Somehow Ichigo couldn't fathom how these girls managed to get all these from, but none of that really mattered to him.

"You still haven't answered my last question. Why are you here ?" Ichigo asked, lowered Zangetsu, but still held it firmly.

"I'm coming up with that. Actually, I was sent by my father to destroy mankind, since by little brother here," En took a sip from his Sprite while motioned toward Beel. "…hadn't done it yet after spending such a long time in the human world."

"The master must be matured before he is able to do that." Hilda spoke for the first time since their arrival.

"Truth be told, I'm not really interested in destroying the human world or anything." En said as he gave the empty bottle to Sachura.

"Again, why are you here ?" Ichigo asked, and very annoyed.

"Well, I'm here because I love video games, that's why. I heard that the human technology is very advanced, so I set out to discovered it. I heard that they even sell the PS2 here, which is why I must have it. I will leave destroying mankind to you."

"I don't know about what kind of news you heard, but let's make a deal." Ichigo said, and sheathed his sword to his back. "I will give you a PS3 and a monthly worth of the latest games if you leave my house and never disturb us again."

"You got me at the PS3." En's eyes were shining and brimming with joy. "Deal. Yolda, Izabella, Sachura, we're leaving. I shall come again to collect the PS3, and that would be the last time we met."

Izabella held her book open and a portal appeared in mid-air. En entered and the rest followed, and a few seconds later, it was closed. Ichigo gave a whistled and the mod souls came out. Ichigo, Nell and Hallibel soon returned to their respective bodies, and Ichigo asked Hilda.

"You have a twin ?"

"She is not exactly my favorite twin. Let's just say she is a lesser twin."

"Lesser ?" Ichigo frowned.

"Yes. I exceeded her in every aspect and every subject. I'm superior compared to her."

"Yeah, whatever. What's the deal with the kid anyway ?"

"He is Lord Beelzebub's brother. You shouldn't underestimate him. He had an entire army at his disposal, and he can raise hell on earth if he wishes for. Even I can barely hold off with one of his elite soldier."

"Che, I have had worse things against me than some stuck up noble brat. Anyway, it's getting late. Let's go to sleep, we have school tomorrow, again."

At this, Nell started to jump up and down excitedly, only to be silenced by Hilda, who didn't want her master to wake up. Hilda changed into her pj, while Nell and Hallibel just put on a t-shirt of Ichigo and wore their undies and went to bed. Ichigo just gulped as the girls patted on the bed seductively and motioned him to come closer. He was pulled to the bed when he was within their reach. Each of the girls gave him a goodnight kiss before turning off the light. Ichigo just stared at the dark ceiling and wondered what the hell he was doing with his life.
