Chapter 4- suprize,suprize!

Rukia opened the door and she watched as the captains and lieutenants were already lined up. With ichigo standing in the middle before yamato she didnt know weither to be happy or to be scared.

Aizen-well, well, well. look who decided to come back. he's alive afterall

Ichigo gave a smirk and then a chuckle. Rukia looked at Renji who didnt even say a word or blink an eye. she had every right to be scared on what would happen.

Ichigo- nah, i decided to stick around for a while.

He then turned and looked at his beloved who stood there without a blink of her watery eyes he smiled and turned to face her and she finally gave a blink of her purple colored eyes that let the tears fall down her cheek she ran into his arms when he dropped his bag and books and he caught her and smiled holding her close to his chest. Ruchiga stood at the cracked doors confused on whats going on. she looked at Renji who she believed was her dad. she listened as a few words were mumbled. Ichigo turned to Renji.

Ichigo- you say something?

Renji- yeah...i said, your a low life son of a bitch.

Rukia's eyes widened and Byakuya showed the only emotion he knew of at the moment, shock. He eyed his lieutenant and Rukia stepped up.

Rukia- Renji-

Ichigo- no, please let him continue

Renji- you expect to come back here out of the blue and everything be okay? Well its not! Not for ruchiga or me!

Rukia- Renji...

Ichigo- you think i didnt want to be there for her you think- wait...what do you mean you.

Renji- tell him Rukia, tell him who has been a father for Ruchiga way more then he has through out Ruchigas 5 years of life.

Yamato- Renji thats enough

Renji- NO! tell him Rukia!

Ichigo stood in shock, his arms loosend grip around his wife and he looked at her.

Rukia- Ichigo, i can explain...ruchiga needed a father figure and renji was-

Ichigo stood in silence.

Ruchiga- daddy...

She stepped in and Renji moved from his place with a whole hearted smile.

Renji- hello baby girl.

She ran to him and eyed Ichigo as she did so. Ichigo stood there with a whole hearted frown.

Ruchiga- daddy, hitai and me wanted to go get ice cream.

Renji nodded

Renji- very well, go tell hitai i said im comming and you wait by the portal for me okay?

Ruchiga nodded and she ran off. Renji turned to Ichigo

Renji- wake up and realize, there was a happy ending way before you even got here so don't go and confuse her.

And at that he was gone. The room remained silent and Ichigo stood confused.

Yamamoto- you all are dismissed. return to your stations.

The captains and lieutenants made their way around Rukia and Ichigo with light chatter amoungs themselfs.

Rukia- Ichigo, she needed-

Ichigo- Its fine i understand. i wasnt there so i dont get to be a dad.

Rukia- thats not true! we'll tell her!

Ichigo- no, he's right. shes too young, it'll just confuse her.

Rukia- i love you Ichigo.

Ichigo held his wife in his arms and kissed her forehead. she looked up at him and smiled and then dug her head back into his chest happily.

Renji and ruchiga

Ruchiga- who was that guy daddy

Renji- ...

Ruchiga- dad...you can tell me, i look nothing like u or mommy but i look like him.

Renji- you have her smile

Ruchiga- huh?

Renji- when you smile. i see her...you mother.

Renji looked at his clenched fists.

Hitai- we better get going, we have to go home before we get in trouble.

Hitai jumped out of his chair and threw his cone away and Renji nodded and then took them home.

When they took hitai home renji and ruchiga walked home together.

Renji- Ruchiga...about your question earlier-

Rukia opened the door and smiled at renji and took ruchiga's hand.

Rukia- thanks for everything Renji...

At that she shut the door smiling.

Renji stood outside the house he grunted and clenched his fists.

( "we'll be together forever right daddy?")

Renji- damnit.

Ruchiga was pulled into her room and she looked up at her mother.

Ruchiga- mommy, whats going on?

Rukia was trying to ignore her daughter alot had been going through her mind and with ichigo in the other room she knew it was going to come up.

Ruchiga- mommy?

She knew that it was just going to confuse her daughter.

Ruchiga- mom-

Rukia- he's not your dad...

Ruchiga- huh...?

Rukia- renji...he isnt your dad...

She threw her daughters pajama's at ruchiga and made her way out of the room.
