Sorry-ish for the long wait on this chapter I hope I haven't lost all my readers due to the wait. But I've been having a horrible case of writers block, mainly on my main story No Longer Imaginary, can't think of anything at all for the next chapter in that, so I got irritated and couldn't write in this either, and I only had like three people review on the last chapter –thank you to those that did and answered my question- When I could finally think of something for this it kept coming out on the page weird so it took forever to edit it to make it worked…still not sure if I'm happy with it though so bare with me.

"Get off and let me go!" He hissed at them, but with both of them using their body weight to hold him in he couldn't do much and the space wasn't very big.

"Now why would we do a thin' li' tha'?" Si'ine said his hand traveling across Rouzin's chest slowly.

"Because I said to OFF!" he tried to push them away to the sides to escape between them.

"I don' think tha's a good reason. Ya Silane?" Si'ine asked with a devilish grin.

"Nope not a good reason at all." Siline agreed his leg pushing between Rouzin's making him gasp and fight even more. But again unfortunately for him with how they were positioned it only made it worse.

"F***…" he grunted as he tried to move off without rubbing on Silane's leg anymore.

"I guess he wants to play, rubbing himself on me like that." Silane said with a cocky grin.

"Go F*** yourself you know damn well I don't want to do this!" 'Yes tell them off, get the perverts to leave!' "Get off no-ung." He was cut off by his own groan as Silane shifted his knee. "F***…"

"Ya Sure ya don' wanna play?" Si'ine whispered into his ear before nipping his earlobe.

"Shit…stop it." Rouzin breathed as his two supposed guards and friend continued to grope him. "Get off!" he looked up between them and started to really freak out. "OFFOFFOFFOFF! NOW! GET OFF!" he yelled pushing them away. Ichigo who was looking through Rouzin's eyes was completely shocked by who he saw and what came out of Rouzin's mouth next. "This is so not what it looks like Dad, Uncle, I swear!"

'DAD!? UNCLE!? One of them is Rouzin's father!?'

Chapter 7: Who's Your Daddy? And a Surprise in Class.

()()()()

In front of Ichigo stood look a likes for Urahara and Aizen both having slightly shocked yet amused expressions as they watched the three -mainly Rouzin- tired to untangle themselves from each other.

"Then by all means my son do tell us what's really going on." the Aizen looking guy said with a slightly amused smile

'SON!? No not happening! Aizen can not have been my dad!' Ichigo thought freaking out.

"We were just messing with him majesty." Silane said shrugging still hanging on Rouzin.

"We was havin' fun to..." Si'ine complained also still hanging on him too.

"I was NOT having fun!" Rouzin growled still trying to get out from between the two and back out into the hallway.

"Well if they are having fun then there's no need to disturb them right?" the Urahara guy said amused. Ichigo could feel Rouzin giving the man a death glare.

"I don't see any reason to interrupt we were on our way to a very important meeting after all." 'Important my ass! You lying bastard! You too you Urahara wannabe!' "Don't forget you have training with your Uncle later this evening Rouzin." the Aizen guy chuckled lightly and with that the two walked off leaving Rouzin in the clutches of Silane and Si'ine again.

"Don't even think about trying to start that shit again." Rouzin warned with a growl after getting over the shock of being left there with no help at all.

"Wha' shit? We wasn' star'in any shit. Was we Silane?" Si'ine said turning and locking his hips against Rouzin's left side as Silane put his knee back between Rouzin's legs.

"Nope just some harmless fun." Silane said grinning before he licked Rouzin's neck making him shiver though he wasn't sure what it was from anymore. "I think he's starting to cave."

"G-get off me you bastards!" Rouzin said pushing on them again when that didn't work he shifted his body -and tried not to groan as he moved against Silane's leg- and sharply brought his own knee up nailing Silane hard in his precious parts making him yelp and fall to his knees. "So~ sorry, but you know desperate times and all that." Without Silane's weight there he could easily push Si'ine off and made a break for it heading straight to his room. He got in and locked the door and put a protection spell in place just as an extra precaution to keep everyone out. "Damn those two...now I have to get rid of this..." he sighed looking down at his lower half.

He went to his privet bathroom and closed the door and as he did the scene for Ichigo went black.

'Seriously!? The f**** did I just see?!' he yelled out and heard his hollow laughing along with a snickering Grimmjow. 'I'm serious! Wasn't there a better memory to use to show me who my father and uncle were!?'

'It wasn' jus abou' tha' though King.'

'You need to know who we are the three of us.'

'We um never... You know actually?' Ichigo tried to asked scared of the answer.

'Who can say.' he heard both say chuckling making him annoyed 'But if we did I bet it was fun' Grimmjow's voice whispered in his ear as he felt hands on his body. He freaked out and pulled away waking up at the same time and consequently falling out of bed with a yelp as well.

"Ow damn it..." he looked down at his legs as he rubbed the bump now on his head "double damn it..." 'It seems you were affected just as much as your dream self.' "No shit. This sucks I'm not gay I shouldn't have been turned on by that." he complained standing up and getting fresh clothes so he could take a shower and get rid of his problem. 'Maybe you're bi?' Zangetsu offered highly amused by Ichigo's reactions and Ichigo sighed shaking his head he didn't want to think about it right then.

He snuck down the hall to the bathroom so he didn't have to deal with his hyper active father that would no doubt question his current state. Making it in without any problems he locked the door and sighed before taking his clothes off and turning the cold water on and stepping into the shower. "Shit..." he groaned taking care not to be to loud as his sisters' room was right next to the shower wall. He tried hard not to think of the dream but to no avail as images and feelings from it popped up in his head, "Damn those two... Damn these dreams...this sucks." he complained stepping out of the shower after finishing and washing off. "I hope I don't get anymore like that. That hope probably won't be fulfilled but still." he continued talking to himself as he dried off.

He got dressed in lazy hang around the house clothes before heading down to the living room to watch some TV. His sisters came down an hour or so later and Yuzu started making breakfast while Karin sat at the table and did some of her school work in between watching the TV. Isshin joined them in his usual manner of trying to attack Ichigo who more then easily dodged and promptly ignored him continuing to watch the program he had changed to. Isshin pouted and sat next to Ichigo who was rather reluctant to tell him about the new dream for rather obvious reasons.

"Something wrong? Did you have another dream?" Isshin asked as if sensing his indecision on the matter.

"...yes but I'd rather not talk about this one..." Ichigo mumbled

"Just because it's me or just period?" Isshin pouted playfully.

"Period if I can help it."

"Well you can't so spill!" Isshin began nagging and poking him like a little kid.

"I saw who my father was." Isshin ceased his poking and went silent waiting for more. "It...it was Aizen."

"Haha that's a good one Ichigo!" Isshin laughed holding his sides.

"I'm not joking. And Urahara was my uncle." Ichigo looked at him with a completely serious face that instantly made Isshin turn serious as well.

"Are you absolutely positive? You didn't mishear or something?"

"Positive. Not only did Rouzin call them father and uncle. Silane referred to the Aizen guy as majesty and the Aizen guy referred to the Urahara dude as my uncle. And he also called Rouzin son."

Isshin sat silently for awhile thinking about it "Anything else?"

"Not talking about the rest it isn't conducive to helping figure anything out other then the fact that Silane and Si'ine are perverted bastards." Ichigo mumbled the last part before standing and heading to the table. "Did Urahara tell you that I was staying over at the shop for a week starting Tuesday?"

"He did." Isshin nodded "He also said why after Tuesday. You sure going to the zoo like that is a good idea? Lots of weird stuff at night." Isshin teased waving his fingers

"You're such an idiot sometimes." Ichigo sighed shaking his head. "It'll be fine, besides I can't really back out of it I've no way to contact her and tell that I'm not coming. Not that I want to back out of it." he said as he sat down at the table where Yuzu was just now setting breakfast. "How was soccer Karin?"

"Really great I got an equal amount of points as Toshiro and would have had one more but the time ended."

"That sucks at least you tied though."

"I plan on beating next him next time."

"I have no doubt you will ya firecracker." he agreed ruffling her hair. She punched his arm and stuck her tongue at him but smiled when he laughed.

After trying to focus on some of his homework Ichigo gave up and changed into some jeans and a shirt and headed out to Urahara. "Oi Hat-and-clogs! You in?" he called out as he walked into the shop.

"Ah Kurosaki-san, how are you?" he asked coming out of the back of the shop.

"I uh...had another dream/memory/thing last night..." Ichigo said scratching his head as he remembered the dream. "It was...um...long..."

"Come sit." they headed back to the circular table and sat down. "So tell me...and no holding out on me." he said from behind his fan making Ichigo blush.

"Well I started by just walking down a rather fancy hallway and I saw Silane and Si'ine and they started...um...flirting...with me..."

"Really? Like last time?"

"More then last time...they pinned me to a wall and were...touching me...bastards..." Ichigo mumbled blushing at the memory making Urahara snicker earning a glare from the young orange headed boy. "And then sometime after um...my or rather Rouzin that's what I'm called in the dream, his father and uncle showed up."

"Really? Who were they? Anyone I know?" Urahara asked interested leaning closer.

"yeah...you were his uncle and ...Aizen was his father."

"..." he blinked a few times trying to process what Ichigo had just said. "Wanna swing that one by me again? I'm not sure I heard you correctly." he chuckled humorlessly.

"From your reaction I'm pretty sure you did. You were his uncle and Aizen was his father. Or your past selves were anyway, if I'm right on these being memories and not dreams."

"...that would make me and him ...brother in-laws?"

"Just brothers more from what I saw no in-law attached." Ichigo said scratching his head. "And you assholes just laughed and left me to get molested! Stupid jerks!" Ichigo ranted accusingly. "I can totally see you doing that!"

"...Yes well I'm more interested in the fact that someone that looked like Aizen was you father."

"No you are trying to change the subject but I'll go with it this time. What do you think it means?"

"Well...I'm not sure...it's a strange mix of people you have around you. Grimmjow and Shiro seem to be very close to you, Kuchiki-chan and Moocher-san are your guards of some type. And I'm apparently your uncle and Aizen your father... And let's not forget the others you've seen."

"Yeah but I don't know who they are...also after the last two everything fades to black and I can hear Grimmjow and Shiro, them not their past selves."

"What do they tell you?"

"Well this time I asked why I was shown that memory to see who my father was instead of one where I wasn't basically molested but they said it wasn't just for showing me my father and uncle but some more of my relationship with Si'ine and Silane...bastards started teasing me again too..." he grumbled

"And the time before that?"

"The one at the pool, the Rukia looking girl had mentioned someone that I'm assuming Rouzin was in love with and I had asked if I could see more about her and what had happened to make it such a touchy subject that Rouzin would yell for her to shut up about it. And I was shown a still image but it was fuzzy and faded quickly. They said I wasn't ready to see it yet or something like that."

"Hmm...What do you think that means?"

"I think it means that I can only see certain things till I know more about what's going on..."

"Yes that makes sense, so the more you see the more you find out which lets you see more stuff. How curious, such a round about cycle."

"I want Tuesday to get here faster..." Ichigo sighed laying his upper half on the table. "I think if I go back I'll be able to find out more about the others...I just hope I'm not just going crazy even if Zangetsu says my inner world is completely fine..."

"If he says it fine then you aren't going crazy. Don't worry so much Ichigo. We'll figure this out for now we just have to wait and see what else your dreams have to tell us."

"I hate waiting...I've never been patient..."

"So you say, but that's not what I've seen. You are a warrior yes so you like when things are moving along and stuff is happening, but you are good at waiting when you need to be, I think you'd make a good hunter." Urahara added off handedly.

"I told Rukia about the dreams and stuff...I told her to come on Tuesday to see what we find." Ichigo said as he stood getting ready to leave.

"Alright." Urahara said standing as well.

"Well I have homework, see ya."

()()()()

Ichigo woke up to his alarm clock after a dreamless sleep. "Ugh...why do I feel more tired when I don't have one of those dreams then when I do..." he went to take a shower to get ready for his class that started in a three hours. After finishing he got something to eat before going over his work to make sure everything was finished. Making a few more touch ups he packed it all up and headed out just as his sisters were waking up. "Later you two."

"Bye Ichi-nii!"

"See ya."

He ran off meeting some of his classmates on the way chatting about the weekend as they went. They offered Ichigo happy birthdays and pats on the back as they asked about his party. He told them what he could about what had happened the past two days. They went to their seats to wait for class to start as they had arrived early so the teacher wasn't even in yet. Soon enough though the teacher came in and greeted them.

"You look tired Ichi-kun." he said to Ichigo who was staring out the window he was sitting next to.

"Ah, yeah I didn't sleep good last night. Don't worry Atsuko-sensei I'll be able to stay awake." he said smiling, Atsuko was a fun teacher even if he did basically hit on half the male students constantly just for laughs since most were straight. Ichigo himself had had it happen a few times, but after hanging out with Keigo so much he easily either toned it out.

"I hope so I've arranged for a surprise today." Atsuko said happily making everyone sit up more interested what he could have planned for them. He always had good surprises for them, the last one included going on a surprise field trip to an exotic animal shelter type place.

"What is it?"

"Come on sensei tell us! Please!?"

"Yeah we got here early we should get to know!"

"Haha! Nope you get to find out along with everyone else!" he laughed as the others whined but Ichigo just smiled and laughed at them acting like kids. "Aren't you interested in the surprise Ichi-kun?"

"I am but I know you won't tell so I'm not going to ask. Besides if I did then it wouldn't be a surprise would it?"

"Ah, how right you are." after another few minutes the rest of the class arrived. "Alright now I sha-"

"Ah! Run!" Voices from the hallways could be heard through the door.

"What the hell!?"

"G-get away!"

"Captain!" the only none scared sounding voice called out.

"Huh!? Captain?!" Ichigo's head shot up looking towards the door before running to it and opening it only to be pushed backwards onto the floor, "Ugh! Ow...Hi Capt'..." he grunted after seeing the large cat rubbing his head on his chest. "What are you doing here?"

"Cap-! Oh hey Ichigo! Guess that's why he ran off." Clair said appearing in the doorway out of breath. "He took off the moment we came in the door. Guess he must have scented you and came to find you." *yip!* "Oh I brought Kit too." the small silver fox jumped off her shoulder onto captains back which irritated the big cat who sat up abruptly to throw the fox off. "Be nice." Clair chastised.

"Ah! Air!" Ichigo said dramatically taking a deep breath when captain got off him. "I think you got heavier in the past two days." he teased making captain growl and flop back down onto him making Ichigo grunt.

"Cap!" Clair yelled pulling on his scruff. "Get off he can't breath you'll kill him!" captain rolled off him.

"Thanks." Ichigo sat up and gave him a scratch behind the ear. "Soooo~ Atsuko-sensei? Is this the surprise you were talking about?"

"Ye-s...um how... Do you know each other? And why is the panther...um...rubbing and… cuddling for lack of better terms on Ichi-kun?"

"We met at the zoo on Friday." Ichigo said heading back to his seat captain following along behind him and Kit swatting at his tail making the feline growl in annoyance. "Leave him he's just trying to get you going, it's obviously working how sad..." Ichigo shook his head in mock disappointment, "I thought a panther, a hunter, would have more patients." he teased still using the disappointed tone but had a small smirk. Captain huffed and laid down at his feet glaring at the fox that was grinning. It seemed the fox wasn't done annoying the cat just yet and hopped up onto Ichigo's desk then down onto his lap and gave Captain a smug yip. "Alright enough!" he said pushing Captain's growling head down and putting kit on the window sill when Captain went to bite the small fox. "Good grief it's like dealing with children!"

"I know right!?" Clair asked leaning on the chalkboard at the front of class. "By the way did you hand in all that stuff you were writing and drawing?"

"Oh no not yet, thanks for reminding me!" he found the folder in his bag and took it to Atsuko. "I did scratches and small reports on all the animals that were new to the zoo."

"Really? Let's see...small reports huh?... Your idea of small is strange," he chuckled holding up three papers, "three pages on the panther is small?"

"Ah-ha...yeah..." he scratched his head "Well for the most part they are small then."

"Hm, it's alright I'll look over them later." he put the pages back in the folder then the folder onto his desk. "Now, I'm sure most of you are aware but this is Clair Smistin the one whose work we've been studying the past few weeks, and she agreed to come in with some of her new finds and talk with us."

"Yes as you can see the panther and the fox are two of those finds. The fox is much like a mixture of different types, swift, fennec, red, and arctic. Along with his second tail, Kit come here." the white ball of fluff ran along the windowsill to her and jumped to her arms. "All the animals that I found are incredibly intelligent, and have very human like characteristics." she motioned to Captain, "As you can tell they also have very good memory too, Captain met Ichigo several days ago and came to find him as soon as he realized he was here. Kit remembered him as well didn't you?" he barked looking back at Ichigo from her arms, he was busy having a staring contest with Captain.

"What do you want furball? I ain't got nothin' for ya." he asked the cat. Captain bit his hand lightly "Attention seeking brat." Ichigo mumbled but petted his head regardless still looking him in the eye. 'What did you expect?' "A less clingy cat..." he muttered low enough that only the two animals could hear, making Kit yip smugly and Captain huff and glare.

"Something wrong?" Clair asked amused.

"Not really I mean at least he's not crushing me this time to get attention. Unlike back at the zoo. Ow! Why you!" Captain bounded off a few paces after nipping Ichigo's leg. "Whatever I'm not chasing you." he looked back out the window which only irritated the cat. Captain came back and did it again but Ichigo still didn't follow. So he pawed at his leg and whined, "I'll pet you but I'm not chasing you, the classroom is too small for that and there's too much stuff is in here." the feline huffed and plopped down next to him and put his front paws and head on Ichigo's lap.

"No fair!"

"Why's he like you so much?"

"I wanna pet him too! Why's he only letting Ichigo?!"

"He's so good with animals~!"

"Ichigo is just amazing period~" Ichigo rolled his eyes and Captain huffed in more of a scoffing manner.

"Shut up you stupid fan girls! He ain't that great!" while Ichigo didn't care what others thought Captain obviously did and growled at the boy who had said that.

"Careful when captain decides that he likes someone he doesn't take well to others insulting them." Clair warned amused. "And captain you could be sociable and go around the classroom, look Kit is going to different people." Kit had jumped out of her arms when the others had started complaining and was hopping from desk to desk eating up the attention. Captain growled at the fox and put his head back on Ichigo's lap looking up when Ichigo tapped on his head.

"Go." he whine but Ichigo just told him to go again, caving Captain roamed around the class ignoring the people that had talked bad about Ichigo, "To everyone you fuzzy smartass." he huffed again at getting caught.

"Wow...he doesn't even listen to me that well." Clair said amazed. Ichigo shrugged and Clair continued talking about the two she had brought as well as passing pictures out of the others she found and talking about them. After going around the room once captain came back and resumed his position of paws and head on Ichigo's lap pouting all the while making the orange head chuckle.

Lunch came and everyone scattered to their normal eating spots but Ichigo just pulled out his lunch to eat at his desk which wasn't uncommon. "Mine keep your nose out of it." he said shooing Captain's nose away from his food. "Go ask Clair for food I'm sure she must have something for you." captain tilted his head then bounded over to where she was talking with Atsuko. Ichigo shook his head as he watched the large feline beg for food with an adorable kitty pout. As he ate he took out his sketch book and started to draw not really knowing or paying attention to what he was doing.

"He's cool looking, who is it?" Clair asked looking over his shoulder startling Ichigo. "Oops sorry didn't realize you were that lost to the world."

"Nah it's fine I zone out a lot when I draw like this..." he looked at the picture and froze "Um..."

"So~ who is it? He's hot!"

"...it's um...Silane..."

"Slain?" she asked confused at the name.

"no si-lane." Ichigo pronounce more clearly, "he's...um...Grimmjow as a cat person...I guess..." Captain came over and looked at the sketch and gave Ichigo a smug look, "oh bug off!"

"Huh?"

"Talking to the cat..."

"Well if that's anything like what your friend/rival Grimmjow looked like...mm I wish I could have met him." Clair said humming in approval. Ichigo laughed and did some touch ups to the sketch before starting to add color. "I know you said his hair was blue but was it really that blue?!"

"Yes, it was like the sky on a clear day."

"Mr. Poet." she teased. "Sure you didn't have a secret crush on him?" Ichigo groaned. "I guess I'm not the only one to ask that huh?"

"No you aren't, and no I didn't. I just get randomly descriptive with colors sometimes."

"That's fine I do that too. What color are his eyes?"

"Ever changing blue like the ocean."

"Cool I know someone he's a good friend of mine his eyes change depending on the shirt color he's wearing."

"Seriously? That would be awesome!" Ichigo said looking up curious.

"Yours change too, not much but it's noticeable to people who are always looking for colors."

"They do?" he titled his head skeptically.

"Normal they are brown with a slight tint of red not much though, when you're excited the get a brighter shine to them looking more amber in color, when you are lost in thought they turn a more burnt reddish brown color. Wonder what they look like when you're mad. Not that I'd get you mad just to see though." Ichigo just stared at her mouth open a bit. "Ah-ha...um sorry am I creeping you out?" he shook his head. "Oh good, my brother says my eyes change a bit too, like when I'm happy they are more amethyst or when I'm mad they turn a darker blue-violet. I think everyone's eyes change just a bit depending on their mood just it's more noticeable in some then others."

"Yeah that makes sense...'specially since it's said that eyes are windows to the soul. It's like having built in mood stones. I'll have to look for that could prove fun." 'And possibly helpful.'

"True, very true. So any reason you drew him?"

"Not really I didn't even realize what I had drawn till you came over."

"That's always fun, to just let go and see where your pencil takes you. I do that when something's bothering me and I can't figure it out, it normally shows itself in the drawing. Maybe something about him has been bothering you and you aren't sure what to do about it."

"Yeah...maybe..." 'You've no idea how right that statement is.' "So I didn't really ask but what time was I supposed to meet you tomorrow?"

"Ah right um...does somewhere near eleven work?"

"That's fine with me." they finished talking just as students started to come back. Ichigo put his drawing stuff away and waited for class to restart.

()()()()

Class ended and Ichigo basically had to pry Captain and Kit away from himself. Kit mainly because they fox was trying to irritate the cat and it was working which led to Captain being more clingy too. He sighed to himself as he walked home "If I doubted who they were before not so much now, not after that." he mumbled to himself as he unlocked the door and ducked out of the way of his fathers kick. "Seriously? Can't you knock it off already? I swear if this house wasn't already nice and close to my college I'd move out."

"My son, don't say such things! You'll make daddy cry!"

"Good." Ichigo shrugged as he dodge a flying hug. "I got homework I'll come down when dinner is ready. And you better not bother me!" He said as he headed up stairs hearing Isshin whine to no one but the picture of Misaki that was still hanging on the wall. "Why does he have to act like a child?"

'Why have you never acted as one?'

"Shit! Who?!" Ichigo shot out of his chair looking around his room for the somewhat familiar voice that had spoken. "That wasn't you was it Jii-san?" 'Was what me?' "That answers that..."

'Hm~' the voice hummed amused pissing Ichigo off, 'I'm sad that you don't remember my voice, has six years been so long a time for you?'

"...A-Aizen?"

'You do remember.'

Dun-dun-dun! Bet ya didn't see all that coming did ya?! Well some of you might have, but I hope I got some of you. So how is Aizen talking with Ichigo? Guess you'll have to wait, I know but I'm not telling so HA! Does this count as a cliff? I think it does, that's like two cliffs in a row isn't it? … I have a habit of leaving my chaps off at cliffs don't I?

Please do review, it really truly does help me write, my Muse is much more helpful when she knows people like what they are reading (which is why I can't think of anything in my other story only one person reviewed last chap in it…yes I'm venting deal with it) I'm not asking because I want higher numbers really truly honestly I'm not. I just need what every author out there needs, to know people like my work. I mean really how would you feel if you spent hours of your time on something asked a simple question of 'Was it any good?' and no one answers? You'd think they didn't like it right? So what's the point of writing more… Sorry I'm venting again you guys tend to be good with reviews from what I've seen even though the updates are really, really random and I thank you for that.

Again I don't really know when the next chap will come out it might actually be sooner then later but, you know, don't hold your breath you'll turn blue. I will give a teaser though, you get to hear about the baddies in the next chap from Aizen…can he be trusted? Guess you'll have to wait.
