I'm back my darlings!!! I couldn't stay away from this one for too long! Last night was just about the funniest episode I've ever seen with Hitsugaya. He cannot be left alone about his height! And you all seriously need to see the Bleach musicals! Especially Dark of the Bleeding Moon. Best one of them all in my opinion! I recommend you see it! And this is gonna have a bit of a song in it. Okay, enough. Let's get to the story! Yuki-hime~!

Hitsugaya: XxChocoMelloxX doesn't own Bleach or its characters and she doesn't own Halo.

Me: Congrats Yuki-hime!

Hitsugaya: On what?

Me: *evil grin*

WARNING: TOTALLY OOC TOSHIRO IN THIS CHAPTER!

Baby Strawberry Snowflakes

Ichigo's POV

"You're…what?" I couldn't believe this. Did he just say what I think he said?

Woah…go King.

This doesn't concern you! Go away!

Oh, but I think it does.

This isn't the best time! Scram!

Now having a clear head, I faced Toshiro again, "So you're pregnant?"

Toshiro nodded, "Unfortunately yes. You see, me being a Soul Reaper, we can get pregnant. But until we are ready to have children, we take birth control pills. For some reason it didn't work. I haven't figured out why yet."

I sighed and rested my hands on his shoulders, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. Not after what's happened. I'll stay by your side these next nine months."

"Only nine?" Toshiro got a worried look on his face, "What about the other three?"

"Other three what?" He wasn't making sense.

Toshiro raised an eyebrow, "Months. I don't know the length of pregnancy in the World of the Living but in the Soul Society, 12 months is full term."

My jaw dropped. 12 months? That's an entire year! This was not stuff he was told at the beginning of being a soul reaper. Of course it makes sense that they probably didn't want him to know. This year was getting more and more stressful, "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was a full year. I'll stay by you however long I need to be. I promise."

Toshiro smiled, "Thanks Ichigo. That means a lot. I wasn't exactly expecting to have a child but, now that I am I guess it can't be that hard. I hope this doesn't put a restraint on any plans you've planned."

I shook my head, "No. Have you told your sister yet?"

"She was the one to find out. I wasn't left alone for a good while." Toshiro grinned.

"Well, are you gonna be throwing up your guts these next couple months?" I beamed.

Toshiro chuckled, "Probably, but I know we can get through this together."

I smiled, "Yeah."

Then I leaned in and gave Toshiro a hug.

Hitsugaya's POV

After Ichigo hugged me we drew back and smiled at each other. We slowly leaned in again and pressed our lips together in a soft and short kiss. After talking for a little while, I excused myself because I needed to get home otherwise Rangiku would be worried. I waved goodbye to Ichigo and walked out the door. Just when I got out of earshot I fell on my knees and broke out crying. I almost lost it when he hugged me. Why?! Why did I have to get pregnant now?!

Stop your weeping my kit.

Hyorinmaru…now isn't a good time.

Ah, but it is. Listen, I was the one who made it so your birth control pill wouldn't work.

Wait, that was you who did that? But why?

Yes. You two seemed to be so in love. I thought I was doing you a favor by doing so. Be thankful my kit.

Hyorinmaru, you knew I wasn't planning on having any children.

Again, I thought I was doing you a favor. I can see that deep down you really wanted this dearly.

Well, he probably didn't.

He did. I talked to his inner hollow for a long time. His hollow could sense that Ichigo secretly wanted this. Believe in him. You will not be hurt when you are with him.

Okay. If you say so.

Do well my kit.

Ichigo's POV

When Toshiro had left, Ichigo fell onto his pillow and groaned.

"SHIT!"

What's the matter King?

Fuck off.

That's not very nice. C'mon, tell me what's wrong. As if I already didn't know.

I made a huge mistake.

Mistake? Is that what you call all of Hyorinmaru and my hard work? Che, thanks a lot.

Hard work? What the hell are you talking about?

Hyorinmaru and I were having a stimulating conversation while you two were uh…going at it.

I blushed furiously, Well? What became of it?

I'm glad you asked. We were talking about how much you two love each other. Hyorinmaru brought up the whole thing about Toshiro being able to have children. I mentioned how you always wanted to have kids. We concocted a plan to make that happen. Cuz she said that Toshiro had deep down wanted kids too. She would make Toshiro's birth control pill fail and he would end up pregnant. Exactly what you two wanted.

Wrong. We just met. Not to mention we were drunk and clearly oblivious to what was really going on. Sure we both wanted kids but not yet! What were you two thinking?!

Hyorinmaru and I were just trying to make you two happy.

Except, you're wrong. We aren't happy. I can sense Toshiro's spiritual pressure and it's in ruins. He is not feeling good about this at all. He's young and not experienced.

Oh and by the way, Toshiro lied about his age.

Really? How old is he?

She didn't tell me. When I asked if it was okay to make a 14 year old pregnant, she said that he lied about his actual age. She never specified how old he really was. He is a soul reaper.

Yeah, but I am too.

No. You are a Visored. That's why you have me.

Whatever. So this is all you two's fault.

You don't have to be so black and white about it but yeah we did this.

Hichigo, can I come into your world for a few minutes?

Why?

So I can make you pay!

Hitsugaya's POV

I was sitting in the living room waiting patiently for dinner to be ready. Rangiku wasn't out for once so she was cooking. Plus she insisted on celebrating what she thought was good news. I agreed since having her company would help cheer me up from the previous events that went on.

"Captain!" she chirped.

I sighed, "Yes, Rangiku?"

She ran into the room, "Dinner is ready!"

"Let me ask you one thing first. Is it edible?" I frowned.

She put her hands on her hips, "Of course! You think I can't cook?"

This was getting annoying really fast, "I never said that Rangiku. I'm coming. Just go back into the kitchen."

Rangiku went back into the kitchen and I got up and followed after her. The one thing on my mind at the time was what Ichigo was doing at the moment. He probably regretted having anything to do with me. I've ruined his life. No, he said he would stand by me no matter what. Through the entire year of the pregnancy. Ugh, this was gonna be a pain.

Ichigo's POV

Renji called after dinner to check up on me. Him being a close friend I told him the news.

"HAHAHAHAA! You're joking! That is priceless! You got someone pregnant?! That's insane!"

"Renji, I hardly find this something worth laughing about. I'm only in high school and wasn't prepared to start a family for another five to ten years."

"Yeah, but dude! That was hilarious okay? So, who's the lucky dame?"

"Actually, it's a guy."

"You're kidding right?"

"Unfortunately, no. He's a soul reaper and I guess they can get pregnant for some reason."

"First off, how could you not know that? Second, did he forget to take his birth control pill or something?"

"Answering your first question, they never told me that when I became a soul reaper. Answering your second question, no he didn't forget. The pill failed for some reason."

I wasn't about to let it slip on all the details. Toshiro will have his head if he finds out he told someone. All of the sudden, he heard the phone beep, "Oh hang on a sec, Renji. Someone's on the other line."

I pressed the button to go to the other person, "Hello?"

"Hey Ichigo. It's me, Toshiro. I need to ask you something."

"Sure, Toshiro. Anything you want. Ask away."

"Pardon me, I'll get straight to the point. Is me being pregnant ruining your life?"

"What? Of course not! What would make you think that?"

"It's just that…you have your whole life ahead of you. I've been around for…awhile and have been able to live my life as is. Even though I literally died at 10 years of age and became a soul reaper after that."

"You died when you were 10? Oh my god. I slept with a dead person!!!"

"Uhm, not exactly. I'm alive, kind of. I'm not gonna tell you just how old I really am, but I will say that I'm in my hundreds. Birthdays aren't very important to us and we tend not to think about them. If Hinamori hadn't been counting, I would've lost count like many other soul reapers. You are alive. That's why you are only a substitute soul reaper. You aren't dead yet."

"So you're saying that when I die, I can come to the soul society and be a full soul reaper and come see you a lot? I'm actually kinda looking forward to dying."

"I guess, I mean it depends on if you are put into my squad or not."

"Oh, I'm sure I will be. Don't you worry Toshiro."

"Did I say I was? Well, thank you for answering my question. This talk has made me feel a lot better. Thank you so much Ichigo."

"You're welcome Toshiro. Anytime."

"One last thing before I go."

"Huh?"

"I…I love you Ichigo."

"I love you too, Toshiro. I'll see you at school tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay then. Bye."

After that I hit the button to go back to Renji. "Sorry Renji, I got held up."

"Nah, don't worry about it man! It was probably the guy you knocked up huh?"

"Yeah. We had a few matters to discuss."

"I see, whether you two are keeping it or not?"

"No. That never really came up."

"Well if you want my opinion, I say get rid of it. If you ever wanna do something great in life, you can't let this little bump in the road slow you down! A'ight man, I gotta go. Still have homework to do."

"Kay, see ya Renji."

"Later."

I hung up the phone after two interesting conversations. One I preferred over the other. To clear my mind, I decided to talk a bit of a walk outside. I made it out of the door and started walking down the sidewalk. So many things were racing through my head at once. What if Renji is right? Should we get rid of it? What'll happen to my future? What if Toshiro dies during birth? Or what if he has a miscarriage? What'll I do then? What if-

KING!! LOOK OUT!!

Hichigo broke my trance in time for me to realize I had wandered out into the middle of the street and there was a car coming straight at me.

It hit me straight on. I could almost hear my ribs cracking, my blood roaring in my ears, my consciousness slipping. My eyes were starting to close and everything was fading to black. Hichigo was yelling at me in my head.

C'mon King! Get up! You can't die like this!!! Don't leave me! Don't leave Toshiro or the baby!

Remember those walls I built
Well baby their tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

KING!!! KING!!!!

People started surrounding the area to survey what had occurred. I could feel hot tears and blood stinging my eyes. Hichigo was right. What about Toshiro and the baby? Will I never get to even see them? No…Toshiro said that if I die I can be a full soul reaper. But, what about my family? My sisters will obviously be devastated. I can't even begin with my father. Toshiro…I…

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

Hitsugaya's POV

I was watching the news when I heard a familiar name.

There is a car accident in the suburbs of Karakura Town. Someone was walking into the street and was hit by an oncoming vehicle. The victim's identity has been recognized as Ichigo Kurosaki's.

My heart skipped a beat. No, Ichigo couldn't have been killed, could he?

"Rangiku! I'm going out for a while." I said quickly.

I never heard a response because I was already out the door before she could say anything. Ichigo…I had to get to him before it was too late. If he dies, he needs to know how to get into the Soul Society when he does.

I finally made it to the scene. The cops at first told me it wasn't safe but then they heard a faint voice.

"No…let him in. I wanna talk to him." The voice croaked.

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

I was allowed to where Ichigo was. He looked awful.

He chuckled, "Hey you. Where ya been?"

I looked at him in awe, "I-Ichigo. You're severely wounded. If you aren't treated soon…you could die."

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

He had a bloodstained face but still found a reason to smile. He coughed up blood.

"Toshiro, I guess that uh…I'm probably gonna go to the Soul Society soon huh?" he coughed.

I smiled, "Yeah. I came here to tell you how to get in."

Ichigo's spirit energy was dropping. He didn't have much time. Ichigo frowned, "Are you sure your okay with me dying?"

"Ichigo, you're my everything. It hurts inside, but I know that you will be going somewhere you've been before. Now listen carefully…"

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can see your halo
Pray it won't fade away

"…what you need to do, is go to the gate and just tell them your name, okay?"

Ichigo was struggling for breath, "Y-yeah. Toshiro. Since this may be the last time we see each other for a…while. Can we skip that and just enjoy these last few moments?"

Tears fell down my cheeks, "Whatever you want."

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through the darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

Ichigo turned to me, "Say Toshiro…I have to ask. How exactly did…you…die?"

I shut my eyes for a moment, "I actually don't remember that much. My mother and father were taking me to a surprise place. It was my 10th birthday. Then someone jumped out in front of the car, and they shot my parents. I can't remember much after that. I figure they shot me next."

"If I could, I would find that person and have them pay for what they did." Ichigo coughed more blood.

"That's not necessary. The man got the death penalty anyway. But you know what? Sometimes I wonder where exactly my parents were taking me."

Ichigo smiled, "I'm sure it was a special place…I…I…"

I could feel his spirit energy vanishing, "Ichigo? Ichigo don't leave me! No not yet!"

But the strawberry was still.

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

"No…no…ICHIGO!!!" I bent down over the still body and started crying and just letting the tears fall.

I held him close until every little bit of his spirit energy had dissipated.

All I could think about was what would happen once he got to the Soul Society. Where would they place him? I had an available seat on my squad but so did a few others. What if he ended up in another squad and they would never be able to see each other?

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Wiping my tears away, I decided I would tell Rangiku and the head to the Soul Society to see if he was there. I really hoped that he was because being away from him is killing me. This stress is obviously not good for someone in my condition.

I ran home and was met by Rangiku, "Captain! Terrible news!"

"Yes Rangiku I know. Ichigo's dead." I sighed.

"Well, are you gonna go to the Soul Society to see if he's there?" she asked.

I ignored her stupid question and walked out the door.

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

I made it to the Soul Society and walked into my office. The smell of nostalgia was the sweetest smell of all. It was then I heard a voice.

"Hey. What took you so long?"

I turned and saw Ichigo sitting on my bed with a smug look on his face and all his wounds healed.

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can see your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I ran up to him and hugged him tightly, "Have they placed you yet?"

Ichigo nodded, "Yeah, I asked to be in your squad and they said as long as you were okay with it."

"Yes." I beamed, "Of course I am."

YESSSSS!!!!! THIS CHAPTER IS FINALLY OVER! It's really long isn't it? I just couldn't stop typing it. Then it turned into a song chappie. It's been four hours since I started typing. Amazing huh? Well I will promise you that it is going to be up and down a whole lot with the mood. Whether it's happy or sad or whatever. I hope you enjoyed it!

Hitsugaya: I was such I wuss in this chapter.

Me: Cuz Ichigo died! I warned them that you would be OOC in this chap. And you didn't listen. Shame on you.

Ichigo: REVIEW DAMMIT!!!

Me: lol
