Back to where we left off….
Fon Clan Grounds: 9:45 PM

Ichigo sat down next to Soi-Fon and laid back against the tree. It was apparent that Soi-Fon was feeling the same fears that he had. He could tell that his girlfriend was nervous; she was wearing a kimono, which was a first. She never wore a kimono before. There was a tension in the air as they sat under the tree. Both knew that this conversation was a long time coming and both Soul Reapers feared for its consequences.

The woman looked up at the cherry blossoms blooming above her and found her voice. "I've been thinking about us today, Ichigo. Remember when we woke up and you asked what was I dreaming about?"

Her boyfriend was silent but gave a quiet nod.

"You wanted to know what my dream was this morning?"

The Substitute looked at Soi-Fon with curious eyes. "Yes?"

Soi-Fon was silent for a moment before replying. "I dreamt that I'd given my position as captain back to Yoruichi. But then…she disappeared. I felt so lonely, but then you came and embraced me, like you did that night I got poisoned and my loneliness stopped." She turned to Ichigo and her face showed pain. "I never want to feel lonely again. When Yoruichi abandoned me, I felt like I wanted to die. For an entire century, I've shouldered the burden of being alone. When…when we started dating, I didn't feel alone anymore. You've done more for me than anyone else has in my life, including Lady Yoruichi. But I don't want to cost you everything. I…." She looked away from him and her hands balled into fists. "I don't know what to do."

Ichigo listened to her, wondering what he should say. What COULD he say? "Soi-Fon…."

Looking back at her boyfriend, Soi-Fon frowned. "Ichigo, we aren't children. You and I both know that for this to keep going, one of us is going to have to give. I am a Soul Reaper and when you get down to it, you're a Human. And I…I don't want you to give up your family and friends just for me." Her frown turned into a tiny smile, which surprised Ichigo. He'd never seen this side of her before in his life. "But I don't want to leave you. I've decided that I never want to leave your side, even if it costs me my rank as captain or-"

Ichigo put a finger to her lips. "No, Soi-Fon. I can't ask you to do that." When Soi-Fon's eyes widened in horror, thinking that he'd decided to break off their relationship, he immediately explained himself. "Soi-Fon, I've been thinking it over all day. Ever since I got my powers from Rukia, my life has constantly revolved around the Soul Society. I always knew that one day, I'd have to give up being Human and stay in the Soul Society. If it's to stay with you, I'm ready to do that."

Soi-Fon blinked. 'He's willing to give all that up…for me?' "Ichigo, but…what about your family and friends? I can't just ask you to say goodbye to them for my sake." She was worried that he valued his human life over her and now here he was willing to give it up.

Chuckling, Ichigo wrapped his arms around her and hugged her, knowing that she had been giving this some heavy thought. "I've been thinking about that all day too. I don't know much about this but…I want to stay with you too. My dad and sisters will understand; and it's not like I can't pop over and say hello to them whenever I want. I'm not scared of staying here with you anymore."

Soi-Fon, feeling more emotional than she'd ever been in a long time, pulled away from his embrace and looked at Ichigo with shock all over her face. "Ichigo, are you saying…you'll really leave the World of the Living for good just to stay with me?" She knew that the boy could make a hard sacrifice but this seemed surreal to her. "But…why?"

Ichigo's face turned cherry red, his emotions bubbling through his mental barrier. "Soi-Fon, in the time I've spent with you, I've been happier than I've been in years. And I can tell that you're happy too. I'm okay with staying with you here because you make me happy." His face neared hers and he smiled.

"You're really willing to stay here forever in the Soul Society…for me?" Soi-Fon's heart started to pound like crazy.

Ichigo lips said the three words nobody had ever said to Soi-Fon before, making the woman cry from shock.

"I love you….'

Soi-Fon immediately pushed Ichigo back against the bark of the tree and kissed him, confused as to why she was feeling so happy but not fighting the waves of joy she felt from that one sentence. "I love you too, Ichigo," she said when she finally broke the kiss. The two embraced in a sweet hug for a minute before the evening chill made itself known. "The bedroom?" Soi-Fon suggested.

"Yes." Ichigo picked Soi-Fon up bridal style and flashstepped all the way to Soi-Fon's bedroom. Locking the door, Ichigo carried his lover over to the bed and gently laid her down onto it. It didn't take him long to strip out of his clothes, dipping a knee onto the bed once he was naked. Soi-Fon blushed as he reached for her kimono. "You ready, Soi-Fon?" he asked, looking at her sweetly.

"Shaolin."

Ichigo blinked. "Huh?"

Turning away, Soi-Fon blushed. "When…when we're together, like this, call me by my real name: Shaolin."

Ichigo stared down at his girlfriend in amazement. She'd never told him that Soi-Fon wasn't her real name. For her to him this must've meant a lot to her. "Ok, Shaolin." Ichigo undid the tie to her kimono and pulled it away. Putting a hand on his chest to stop him, Soi-Fon got up and stepped off the bed. Putting her hands on her kimono, she slowly shrugged out of it as she parted the outfit's folds. Ichigo could feel his manhood spring to life as Soi-Fon stood there naked, stepping out of the pool of clothes at her feet and getting back on the bed. She and Ichigo embraced each other and rolled around on the large king-sized bed, each feeling the other up as their tongues battled each other.

Soi-Fon ended up on top and straddled Ichigo's lap, moaning into the dark ceiling as his hands roamed up her front, cupping her petite breasts. "Ichigo…that feels good…" she moaned, closing her eyes as Ichigo's thumbs circled her nipples. Without any more foreplay, Soi-Fon lifted her hips and sank down on Ichigo's cock. "Ahhhh…."

Ichigo's hands went to her waist. As she fully sheathed Ichigo's cock in her tight snatch, she leaned down and kissed him, her hips lifting and slamming down. "Shaolin…" Ichigo moaned as their lips parted, caressing her cheek softly. Soi-Fon's response was another kiss, quickly losing herself to the pleasure. Ichigo's hands grabbed at her ass as he thrusted up, making Soi-Fon cry out in ecstasy. Wrapping his arms around her, Ichigo, still making out lewdly with Soi-Fon, rolled over and pumped into her hard and fast. Soi-Fon clawed at Ichigo's back, feeling his cock rub against her sweet spots.

"Ah! Ichigo! Yes!" She buried her face in Ichigo's shoulder as he fucked her with abandon. Ichigo, wanting to go deeper inside her, set her legs on his shoulders and pumped into her as fast as he could, cherishing the look on Soi-Fon's face. The bed rocked and creaked as Ichigo leaned forward, keeping Soi-Fon pinned beneath him as he pounded away at her pussy. "Ichigo…" Soi-Fon moaned. "Faster! Harder! Deeper!" she pleaded.

"Shaolin…" Ichigo gripped Soi-Fon's legs tight and quickened his pace. Every thrust kept whittling away at his endurance; her walls continuously tightened around him. "I'm gonna cum!"

All Soi-Fon said was a lewd moan as she came. "Ohhhhhhh!"

Feeling Soi-Fon's pussy gush around him pushed the boy over the edge. "Shaolin!" he grunted before releasing inside her. Soi-Fon's eyes rolled into the back of her head as Ichigo creampied her, her body shaking beneath Ichigo. The two lovers stayed like that, connected to each other in the most intimate of ways, for a long time, panting while they kissed madly.

Finally, Ichigo pulled out of Soi-Fon and laid down next to her, pulling the short captain close. "Shaolin, I love you."

"I love you too, Ichigo," Soi-Fon said, burying her head in Ichigo's chest. "Are you sure about this?" she asked, needing to be reassured.

"Yes," Ichigo said, pulling the covers over them. "I'll let my friends and family that I'll be moving here and I'll talk to Captain Ukitake about how figuring out what to do with my Substitute duties. I want to be with you, Shaolin. That's a promise."

Smiling, Soi-Fon, or rather, Shaolin, snuggled into Ichigo's embrace and fell asleep right alongside him, confident that everything was going to be okay….

Weeks Later….
Soi-Fon's room

Soi-Fon yawned as she got out of bed, popping her bones back into place and got up. She'd been given several days off which she'd spent with Ichigo and his family while they were still adjusting to his decision to stay with her in the Soul Society. 'Alright, vacation is over. Now it's time I get back to train…to train…HRCKKK!'

Soi-Fon's stomach lurched and she immediately ran for the bathroom, vomiting into the toilet. Gasping for air, Soi-Fon paused for a moment before going back to throwing up. 'What's going on?! Did I eat something bad last night?' She dismissed the notion instantly. Yuzu's cooking was fantastic and during the few days she'd been with Ichigo's family she'd never once gotten sick. And besides, with her body's natural resistance food poisoning was out of the question.

Cleaning her face in the sink, Soi-Fon hobbled out of the bathroom before she spun around and saw something on the sink's counter; something that she'd completely forgotten to take in the past few weeks:

Her contraceptives. She wasn't having food poisoning. She was having morning sickness.

Soi-Fon's eyes widened in alarm. 'OH NO! I've completely forgotten to take those after Ichigo and I had our talk! This…this can't be happening!'

Grabbing her Haori, Soi-Fon hurried to Squad Four. She needed to speak with Captain Unohana….

An Hour Later….
Squad Four; Unohana's Examination room

Soi-Fon sat on the exam table, her heart thumping in her chest as she waited for Unohana to come back with the results. The woman had been taken aback when Soi-Fon had run up to her asking for a pregnancy test but had complied with quick efficiency. After running a few quick tests, Unohana left to go check the results, leaving Soi-Fon to wait and ponder.

Sweat rolled down her back as she sat there, praying this was just a figment of her imagination. She wasn't ready for children yet. Hell, she didn't think she'd be ready for children ever! "What am I supposed to tell, Ichigo? What am I supposed to tell the other captains?" A pregnant Commander of the Stealth Force was something unprecedented and knowing the Head-Captain there's bound to be repercussions from this.

The captain swallowed the lump in her throat as Unohana came back into the room, holding a clipboard. "Well, Captain Soi-Fon, I suppose congratulations are in order. My tests confirmed it: You're with child."

Soi-Fon's face turned bone white at the news. No doubt her clan would be happy to hear it but she didn't know what Ichigo's reaction will be. Looking down at her pregnant body, she took deep breaths before looking back up at Unohana. "Thank you, Captain Unohana," she said as she got up, her legs feeling wobbly. "If you'll excuse me. I need to inform Ichigo…."

Unohana watched her fellow captain leave with a worried look, knowing that this was going to shock the teen immensely.

Several Minutes Later….

Soi-Fon found her boyfriend chatting with Renji Abarai, with Byakuya speaking to Komamura and Kensei nearby. Gulping from anxiety, Soi-Fon composed herself and walked across the courtyard, making her way to Ichigo. Renji saw Soi-Fon approaching and bowed in respect. "Oh hey, Soi-Fon," Ichigo said, smiling at the woman. "Where've you been all day?"

"Squad Four," Soi-Fon explained. "Um…Ichigo? I…need to tell you something…alone." She glared at Renji, who got the drift and excused himself.

Ichigo saw that she had a nervous look on her face, which was as abnormal for Soi-Fon and frowned. "Squad Four? What's the matter? Are you okay?"

Taking a deep breath, Soi-Fon spoke softly, not wanting the other captains to hear the news just yet. "Ichigo…I'm-"

"Hey Ichigo!"

The two turned to see Kyoraku and Ukitake walking up to them. "Well now, look at you two lovebirds!" Kyoraku exclaimed, obviously hitting the sake early today.

Ukitake, smiling his friendly little smile as always, turned to the young man. "Ichigo, Rukia is going to go train in the squad's grounds today and she wanted to know if you and Renji would like to train with her."

Ichigo nodded and was about to reply when Soi-Fon tugged on his sleeve urgently. "Ichigo! I'm talking to you!" Soi-Fon barked, getting angry at having been interrupted.

"Sorry," Ichigo said, turning his back on the two captains. "What'd you want to tell me?"

"Ichigo, listen to me…I'm…I'm…" Soi-Fon took another deep breath, "I'm pr-"

"ICHIGO!"

Soi-Fon bristled in frustration as Kenpachi and Shinji came out of nowhere and walked over to them. "Kenpachi, I'm kind of in the middle of something!" Ichigo insisted, slowly backing away from the massive man.

"Relax, Ichigo," Shinji said. "He's got bigger problems with Yachiru wanting a puppy."

As Ichigo broke off into a conversation with Shinji and Kenpachi, Soi-Fon became more and more agitated at being interrupted every time she tried to pull Ichigo away from everyone. Finally, she had enough. 'To hell with subtlety!'

"Ichigo…" When Ichigo didn't hear her she shouted at the top of her lungs "ICHIGO! I'M PREGNANT!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at the woman. Ichigo, for his part, turned bone-white at the declaration. His jaw dropped as he stared and knew from the look on her face that she was serious. All of the captains in turn stared at the boy in shock, and in Renji's case admiration.

For the longest time, all Ichigo could hear was Kenpachi slowly clapping….
