It's been roughly three months,
Three months since Rukia came to him and told him she was pregnant. Three months since he told her he'll take care of them. Three months of watching and witnessing the growing embryo in her tummy, their child.
It was a pain, he wouldn't lie. Her uncontrollable mood swings that will leave painful bruises on his face, sides, any where she could reach. The constant vomiting in the morning and her sudden urges to sleep were also a pain, but he wouldn't take it back either.
During those three months, he has fallen in love with the four foot woman and all her aggressive nature. She was honest, different, short, a true friend, and in his eyes, beautiful.
Funny, right?
He might have never seen her again after that night, he would have missed out on being with such a woman.
Now, he was running. Toushiro and Renji close behind trying to stop him.
He was on a rampage, destroying anything that just happened to be in his way.
His target?
The man that hurt his woman and took away his son.
"Wait, Ichigo!" he could hear Renji screaming behind him, surly out of breath trying to catch up with the angered man, Ichigo still kept running. "You don't even know where he i-"
He stopped when Ichigo came to a halt.
A crowd stood in front of them, police cars all around.
This was where Rukia was attacked.
Ichigo shoved people aside, making it to the center.
"You caught me.."
"Azien." Toushiro's venomous voice made Ichigo clench his fist. That man was the one that took Ruchi away...
His feet moved on their own, pushing aside the police officer that had him down. Right when Azien was roughly turned around by Ichigo, his face was met with a hard punch. Then another to his stomach, then another to his face again.
"Ichigo!" Renji shoved him back, causing Azien to fall, face first, to the concrete ground.
But just as Renji separated the two, Toushiro had run passed them, kicking Azien, extremely hard, in the face. Renji reached out to grab his other friend, but missed when he leaned over and began punching the man repeatedly.
Police officers quickly swarmed around them, pinning both Ichigo, whom was on the verge of attacking again, and Toushiro to the ground. A few others picked up Azien, his bloody face covering a devilish smirk.
"Let them go, I can explain!" Renji shoved a officer off Ichigo, quickly blurting out excusing words.
Both Ichigo and Toushiro glared as the man was pushed into the back of the police car.

Momo didn't know how long she was staring into space after the nurse came out and told them about Rukia and Ichigo ran off.
"Momo," Rangiku shook her, causing Momo to look up.
Tears quickly followed before falling to her already bruised knees. Her hands quickly covered her face as her sobbing became louder and more intense.
"H-how is she?" Rangiku cracked a bit as Momo heard light foot steps come towards them.
Momo took a peck up, seeing the nurse's apologetic frown.
"She hasn't woken up yet, but she'll be alright."
Rangiku patted Momo's back, that was the only thing she could do now. She was in pain too, all of them were.
"W-where did they go?" Momo whipped her face, looking up at Rangiku with blood-shot eyes.
"Ichigo went after him." Rangiku whispered, saying it in a venomous tone. "Renji and Shiro went after him."
Momo pushed herself up, head held low "I'll personally make sure he rots in jail.."
Rangiku ran her fingers through her strawberry blond hair, falling back on the seat behind her. "He will."

Blurry.
Everything seemed to be blurry in her vision.
Rukia began opening her eyes a bit wider, noticing the light beeping of a monitor beside her. She squinted her eyes, noticing the monitor was wired to itself then to her arm.
What the hell?
She pushed herself off her back, only to fall back by the sudden sting to her side and stomach. She abruptly looked down at herself, wires and needles where on and inside her.
She closed her eyes, trying to remember what had happen.
He eyed Rukia, whom held her belly tightly,
"You all know what to do..." He smirked before turning around "Tell Momo I said hi."
Azien.
She immediately pulled the covers off her body, only to see a suddenly flatten tummy.
..Ruchi.
"You're awake?"
Rukia eyed the doctor that walked in, his glasses covered eyes meeting hers.
"You woke up much sooner then expected." he pushed up his glasses, taking a seat by Rukia's bed side.
"My baby..." Rukia asked immediately, noticing the man close his eyes.
"Sorry, the fe-baby didn't make it.."
Rukia mouth dropped, tears already escaping her purple orbs to the white sheets on her lap.
-x-
"Hisana?" Byakuya repeated, noticing his sister's mouth drop slightly. She stared off into space, hands clenched to the phone near her ear. "Is something wrong?"
She slowly looked his way, eyes giving off a small glint of bright light. Byakuya placed the cup on the table.
"Hisana?"
Her gaze dropped, the phone pressed against her chest, "Rukia..."
"Rukia..?" he stood up immediately, walking steadily towards Hisana and placing his hands on her shoulders, "What happened to Rukia?"
"She's in the hospital.."
Byakuya's eyes widen,
-x-
"You should be with Rukia, not chasing that man." Renji sighed, pushing the front doors of the hospital open.
Renji was stilling trying to catch his breath, after pulling god-knows-how many men off Ichigo and Toushiro and after explaining breathlessly to the officers why they were doing such a thing, he wanted to drop on the floor and rest.
Troublesome.
"You're lucky he didn't press any charges on you two idiots!" Renji emphasized, laying back on the elevator's side wall.
"He had it coming.." Toushiro muttered, looking down at the many buttons and pressing the eighth.
Ichigo simply stood there, rubbing his slightly swollen hand from the punch he gave Azien.
-x-
"B-Byakuya..Hisana.." Momo pushed herself of the seat, now standing in front of both Rukia's siblings.
"Where is she?" Hisana pleaded, eyes bloody red.. She must have been crying.
Rangiku took a step beside Momo, placing her hand on Momo's shoulders. "She's in that room, but we can't go in th-"
Rangiku didn't finish, since Byakuya was already making a quick, steady pace towards the door.
Before Rangiku could repeat herself, Byakuya was already in.
-x-
Rukia and the doctor looked up, surprised, as the door suddenly opened.
"You can't be in he-" he was stopped when Rukia began talking.
"Nii-sama," Rukia wailed, face covered in dry and new tears while holding on to her suddenly flatten tummy. "Wha-"
She was suddenly in an embrace, Byakuya's long, flowing hair touching her left, wet cheek.
Her eyes stayed wide for a moment, not believing the sudden embrace from her older brother, but soon, her crying returned, clinging on to his white dress shirt.
"Rukia.." Hisana was soon in the room too, wrapping her arms around both her and her brother.
"Ruchi..." she sobbed in her brother's shirt, feeling him pat her head softly.
-x-
"Her brother?" Renji pulped to the seat, looking up at the girls.
Rangiku nodded her head, rubbing her arm once she looked over at the other.
They looked depressed.
"He barged in, but they haven't escorted him out..."
Ichigo began walking toward the room, but was stopped when Momo held his wrist. He looked down at the girl, noticing her reddish colored eyes and swollen cheeks.
"Let them talk alone.." she slowly slid her hand off, eyes still locked on Ichigo's. "I know you want to be alone with her when you two talk..."
Ichigo, a bit reluctant, dismissed his plan to see both Rukia and her siblings.
A/N: No Ichigo/Rukia in this chapter, had to give Azien a beaten first..:3 About Byakuya, I hope he wasn't to ooc, I tried my best, deal with it. -.-
Wow, 20+ reviews on one chapter. That's record for me, Arigato! You all are just the best.
Review!
So, a little side story,
My baby, Mia, is a huge fan of Byakuya. I was reading her a bit of my fic and she was like "Mommy, why doesn't Yakuya(that's how she says it) hug Rukia? Doesn't he lub his sister?" I stayed staring at her for a minute cause really, I was not expecting her to say that of all things.
So that part probably belongs to my one year old. :3
