Chapter 10
IchigoXSoi-Fon

A.N.: I tried to keep this in accordance with Japanese traditional traditions but you'd be amazed how much they coincide with Western traditions.

One week later….
Fon Family Manor; Great Hall

Ichigo stood in front of the crowd sweating through his thick kimono. He didn't like being the center of his attention but considering it was his wedding he figured it was par for the course. The kimono had been loaned to him by Byakuya, who'd helped him prepare for the wedding. That being said, Ichigo could've sworn that the man was secretly enjoying Ichigo's anxiousness while he was helping him get ready.

In the front row were Ichigo's fellow captains as well as his father and sisters. It had been a hell of a time for Ichigo when he went home to tell his family the big news….

Months ago….
Kurosaki Clinic

Ichigo knocked on the door and waited. He'd been able to take a day to come home after Soi-Fon promised to help coordinate the Squad's assignments for the day, even if she was no longer able to actively assist thanks to her pregnancy. "This is gonna be a long day…" he groaned, already imagining his father's reaction.

The door opened and Isshin stood in the doorway. The man smiled when he saw his son standing in the doorway. "Ichigo! You're home!" He pulled his son into a big hug. "Wait, where's Soi-Fon?" he asked when he realized Ichigo was home. "You didn't have a lover's spat and broke up, did you?" It was then that he noticed Ichigo was wearing her Haori. "And why are you wearing a captain's Haori?"

"One question at a time, Dad," Ichigo insisted, walking past his father and entering the living room. "Where's Yuzu and Karin?"

"Upstairs doing homework. So what brings you home, Ichigo?" Isshin asked as Ichigo sat down on the couch.

Ichigo stared at the floor for a few moments, trying to find the words. "Um, Dad? I uh…have something I need to tell you…." Looking up, he stared at his father before finally spitting out the words. "Soi-Fon's pregnant."

Isshin slowly sank down into a chair as he let the words sink in. For a moment, he stared at his son, his face showing a myriad of emotions in the span of a few seconds. Shock, disbelief, anger and finally….

"OH MASAKI!" the man screamed, jumping off the couch and throwing himself at the poster of Ichigo's mother. "WE'RE FINALLY GONNA HAVE GRANDBABIES! OUR SON'S BECOME A MAN! I'M SO HAPPY!"

Ichigo facepalmed. "Somehow I knew that'd be his reaction…." Looking back at his father he continued. "Yeah, Soi-Fon's pregnant. The Head-Captain's making me take over her position as captain while she's pregnant and we're getting married in a few months so the Fon family can avoid a scandal."

Tearing himself away from the poster, Isshin sat back down and looked at his son intently. "I see. I have to say, Ichigo, you sure know how to move fast."

All Ichigo could do was deadpan. "A lot of this was done without my say…."

Isshin got up and sat down next to his son. "Are you going to take responsibility?" he asked.

"Yes," Ichigo replied adamantly.

The man patted his son on the back before hugging him. "Then all I can say is I'm proud of you."

"OH MY GOSH!" came a voice from the stairs. "YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?! SOI-FON'S PREGNANT?!"

Yuzu came running down the stairs and hugged her brother. "That's wonderful! I'm gonna have a sister-in-law!" Karin came down as well, her face shocked after listening to the news. "Ichigo! Can I be a bridesmaid?" Yuzu asked. "Please?"

Ichigo chuckled and scratched his head, laying out the details for the wedding that had been arraigned by the Fon family….

Back to the Present….

Ichigo found that the Soul Society had weddings equivalent to traditional Japanese traditions. Beside him stood Byakuya, wearing a black kimono and acting as Ichigo's best man. When the doorway opened all eyes turned. There, standing in the doorway with the family's elders accompanying her, was Soi-Fon. She wore a beautiful white robe, a heavy hood covering most of her face. She walked in stride with the elders, holding a bouquet of flowers.

The elders led her to the front of the hall, guiding her to stand next to Ichigo. The Fon elder who had arraigned the marriage, the one Ichigo had initially met, walked in front of them and began the ceremony. After finishing the opening speech, he produced two sliver sake cups and poured the ceremonial sake in them both, offering them to the two. Turning around to face each other, Ichigo offered her his cup, lifting it up to her lips. Soi-Fon closed her eyes as she drank the wine. She'd only drank on rare occasions, most of the time with Yoruichi but she endured the bitter taste of the alcohol. Finishing her cup, Soi-Fon lifted her own to Ichigo's mouth, who drank it slowly. In order to prepare him for the strong taste, Kyoraku had been letting him drink small amounts of sake leading up to the wedding to get Ichigo accustomed to alcohol so he didn't choke from the bitterness. Ichigo drank the sake, feeling it burn his throat as it went down and continued to drink until her cup was empty.

After more speeches about Ichigo and Soi-Fon's love and union, he turned to the two and nodded. Taking a deep breath, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring he got for her. "Soi-Fon, do you accept me as your husband?" he asked, slipping the ring on her finger.

"I do," Soi-Fon said, staring at Ichigo through her white hood. She offered from the sleeves of her robe her ring, a priceless gold band that had been in her family for centuries. "Ichigo, do you accept me to be your bride?" she asked, putting it on her finger.

"I do," Ichigo smiled at his bride and felt a happiness he'd never known.

The elder smiled at the two. "Then by the laws of the Soul Society you are now man and wife. Ichigo, you are now a member of the Fon family and from henceforth you shall bear our name proudly as Ichigo Fon. Ichigo, you may kiss your bride."

Ichigo reached for Soi-Fon's hood and lifted it up. Taking hold of her hands, Ichigo leaned forward and gave her a kiss to remember, the crowd going "Aww…" as they watched the touching union. As Ichigo ended the kiss, Soi-Fon turned around and threw her bouquet of flowers into the air. All eyes turned to the bouquet as it soared into the air… and a laugh was had by all when Captain Kurotsuchi caught it.

An applause went up as Ichigo took Soi-Fon by the hand and led her down the middle of the hall, listening to everyone congratulate them. As they left the hall for their room, Ichigo turned to his new wife. "Are you and the baby okay?"

Soi-Fon was silent, but only for a moment. "Yes. I'm quite tired," she said. Squeezing Ichigo's hand, she rubbed her pregnant belly and could feel the baby inside. "I can't believe I'm married…."

"Do you regret it?" Ichigo asked, although he kicked himself immediately afterward. Asking his wife if they regretted their marriage seconds after they became married might not have been the best thing to say.

The black-haired woman shook her head. "Never. Right now, I've never been happier. Come on…" she said, opening the door to our room. "Let's head inside."

Nodding, Ichigo gently reached around Soi-Fon and picked her up bridal-style. Any other person, save for Yoruichi, and Soi-Fon would've slugged him but Soi-Fon smiled and laid her head on his shoulder as he carried her into the room. When they reached the bed Ichigo set her down on it and began to strip out of his heavy kimono. "Ah! Finally!" he breathed as he pulled it off, allowing his sweaty skin to feel cool air. "I thought I was gonna fry in that!"

Chuckling, Soi-Fon shook her head. "You realize of course that that's one of Byakuya Kuchiki's finest robes?" She sat up and put her hand on her husband's chest. "So, are you ready, Ichigo Fon?" she asked smirking.

"Always," Ichigo replied, kissing his wife deeply. As they lay back on the bed Ichigo undid the ties to Soi-Fon's robe, exposing her pregnant belly. Soi-Fon closed her eyes and took a deep breath as Ichigo kissed her stomach, putting an ear on it and feeling the presence inside. "So what do you think?" she asked.

Ichigo closed his eyes and detected the presence of the child inside of Soi-Fon, like an ember buried deep inside. He could sense something peculiar but didn't pay it any mind, not wanting to spoil the moment. "I bet it's a boy."

"A boy, eh?" Soi-Fon chuckled. "Lady Yoruichi and I think it's a girl. Ah!" Soi-Fon groaned when she suddenly felt a twinge of pain as the baby kicked.

"Heheh, a kick like that? Definitely a boy." Ichigo put his lips on her pregnant belly and kissed his way up Soi-Fon's naked front. Reaching her swollen breasts, Ichigo wrapped his lips around one of her nipples and began to suck on her. Soi-Fon threw her head back and cried out as milk shot into Ichigo's mouth, her husband milking her like a dairy cow.

When the pressure became too much she took Ichigo's head and guided it towards her neglected boob. "Ah!" She clutched the sheets as her husband milked her. Over the past few months the woman had found that the pressure in her breasts would become too much now that they'd swelled with milk, causing her to grab Ichigo wherever he was and have him milk her. As for Ichigo, he couldn't get enough of the treat, always glad when Soi-Fon pulled him into an empty room or locked the captain's office so that he could attend to her.

Once Ichigo had his fill of her milk, he reached for the white robe and gently helped her out of the white robe. Ichigo slid her underwear off and got off the bed, taking off his pants. Soi-Fon embraced her husband as he got on top of her, tasting her milk on his tongue as they kissed passionately. Soi-Fon ran her hands down Ichigo's back, her fingers tracing his spine. When she felt something hard poke her inner thigh, she reached down and started stroking him.

Deciding to skip the foreplay for today, Ichigo spread Soi-Fon's legs and sat back, rubbing the head of his cock against her entrance, looking her in her eyes. "Are you ready, Soi-Fon?"

The married woman nodded. "Just remember to go slow so you don't hurt our baby." Soi-Fon laid back and watched as Ichigo slowly pushed into her, the young man being as gentle as he could to his new wife. Small moans escaped Soi-Fon as Ichigo slid in and out of her, rubbing her hand over her pregnant belly while Ichigo began to quicken his pace. "Ah! Ichigo! Go faster!" she pleaded. Ichigo complied, watching as her pregnant belly shook with each thrust. Leaning down Ichigo sucked on her nipple again, drinking Soi-Fon's milk while he pounded away at her pussy. Soi-Fon clawed at the sheets beneath her as her husband gave her twice the pleasure.

The bed rocked as Ichigo and Soi-Fon made love. Not satisfied with just lying there, Soi-Fon put a hand on her chest and stopped him. Getting up, Soi-Fon got onto her hands and knees and backed herself into Ichigo, gripping the sheets as the tip of his cock pushed back into her. "Like this, Ichigo."

Gripping her waist, Ichigo began to fuck his pregnant wife doggy-style. Soi-Fon's arms wobbled as her clit was slapped against Ichigo's balls with each thrust, arching as the boy hit her G-spot. "It's so good…." Her pregnant belly wobbled with each thrust, rocking the baby inside her.

Ichigo sat back on his hauches and pulled Soi-Fon close, his hands wrapping around her pregnant belly as she began to bounce on his cock. Soi-Fon turned her head and kissed Ichigo in a sloppy kiss, her tongue sticking out when his hand began to rub her clit. "Ichigo, I'm gonna cum!"

Kissing his new bride, Ichigo held Soi-Fon tight and bounced her on his cock faster, feeling close himself. At the elders' insistence the two had abstained from sex for the past seven days so they were both aching to climax in each other's arms again. Soi-Fon squeezed her eyes shut as she came, her mouth forming a soundless moan as her juices stained Ichigo's lap and the sheets beneath them. Sensing that Ichigo was about to climax, Soi-Fon got off of Ichigo and laid down in front of him. Knowing what she wanted, Ichigo stood up on his knees and jerked himself off in front of her, his cock pointed at her face. "Ahhh! Ahhhhhh!" Ichigo moaned loudly as he came on Soi-Fon's face. Soi-Fon panted as her face was given a bukkake by the boy. 'No, not boy anymore…' she thought as she basked in the heat of Ichigo's seed. 'He's my husband. He's my everything.'

Ichigo grabbed a piece of white cloth on the nightstand and wiped Soi-Fon's face clean. Once she was cleaned of his spunk, Ichigo lay down next to her and pulled his new wife close, running his hand through her hair soothingly. "I love you, Shaolin," he whispered, using her original name.

"And I love you, Ichigo Fon," Shaolin whispered as she cuddled into Ichigo's embrace.

Ichigo pulled the covers over them and sighed happily. "We're gonna have to start thinking of names for the baby soon."

"Babies, actually."

Ichigo stared down at his wife in shock. "Babies!"

Shaolin chuckled and held up two fingers. "Unohana confirmed it the other day. I'm carrying twins."

For the longest time Ichigo stared at her before smiling from ear to ear, hugging her tightly. "That's wonderful!" He put a hand on her stomach and concentrated, finally understanding that weird presence he felt inside her. Now he knew; she wasn't carrying one presence inside her, she was carrying two.

Shaolin laid her head on his chest and reached for his hand, entwining her fingers with his. 'I'm married. I'm married to a substitute Soul Reaper and I'm carrying twins inside me…and I couldn't be happier.' "Good night, Ichigo," Shaolin whispered as she fell asleep.

"Good night, Shaolin."

The two fell asleep, enjoying their first night together as a married couple in each other's arms….
