Gin: Cookie does not own Bleach or its characters!

Baby Strawberry Snowflakes
3 months
Ichigo's POV
Well Toshiro is in his 3rd month now and things are getting more steady. Due to Izuru being close to his due date I guess he requires more attention so Gin has been visiting less often. That makes things a little lonelier but it can be better because that means fewer interruptions at really bad times. Toshiro has started to show more since we've found out he's having twins. This just means he has to get more checkups by Unohana.
Toshiro walked into the room breaking me from my thoughts, "I just got back from another checkup."
"Oh yeah? How'd it go?" I asked.
"It went fine. She said that the babies are growing fine and that they are healthy." Toshiro informed me.
I nodded, "So do we know what the genders are yet?"
Toshiro shook his head, "No not yet. We still have a few months until we can tell. Remember, Ichimaru and Kira just found out the gender of their child last week."
"Well, I got that paperwork done." I said smiling.
He looked surprised, "Really? Wow thanks. I didn't expect you to be able to finish it."
I chuckled, "Yeah, Hitsugaya-taicho that makes me feel real good."
"Not like that!" the white taicho snapped.
Hey King. It's been a while.
I froze.
Toshiro tilted his head, "Kurosaki, what is it?"
I didn't answer him.
Hello? Can't you hear me? I know you can.
"Kurosaki, are you okay?" Toshiro asked, "Because part of your left eye is turning black."
My blood ran cold. He did not just say that. Then I heard Hichigo's demonic chuckle inside my head, "Get out Toshiro."
The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
Toshiro took a step back, "What? Why?"
Yeah King, why? Don't you wanna show me to him? It's high time he sees me don't ya think?
"Shut up!" I roared.
"Kurosaki you're starting to worry me. What it wrong with you?!" My taicho commanded with worry in his voice.
I turned to him, "I said get out dammit!"
King. I'm coming.
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it
Toshiro stood there and stared at me. Why did he hafta pick now to be stubborn?
Well, it looks like he isn't gonna listen to you. Tough break. But it's for the best don't ya think?
"Ichigo, your whole left eye is black. What the hell is going on?!" Toshiro demanded.
"No! You must leave!!" I screamed.
He shook his head, "I'm not leaving you here in this condition."
It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end
"It's dangerous for you to be around me right now in YOUR condition!" I retorted.
Toshiro took a step back, "Ichigo, you are starting to scare me."
I frowned, "I'm sorry. I just need some time alone."
Why fight it, King? You think I would stay away this long? I was just giving you time to get settled. Now it's time.
I threw my head back, "AAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!"
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
Hitsugaya's POV
Ichigo let out a scream of pain and there was a bright flash. When everything dimmed, what I saw was not Ichigo, but a monster. It had Ichigo's body but in no way was it him.
I took another step away, "W-who are you?"
The hollow laughed, "Hehehehe, who am I? How can you ask such a stupid question? I am who I am! But if you wanna be formal, I am Ichigo's beloved hollow. My name is…Hichigo Shirosaki."
"Hichigo? Well then, Hichigo, what have you done to Ichigo?!" I yelled.
He merely grinned at me.
My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
"Answer me!" I ordered.
I stared at him. Mostly I stared at the hollow mask. This must've been the hollow Hyorinmaru had told me about when I first met him. But it was to my understanding that it was tame. What has happened? And why now?
Hichigo frowned, "Why so quiet? Is it mere shock or is it…fear?"
I flinched at his words. His voice was as cold as ice. I scrunched up my eyes tight as I heard footsteps approach me. Then I heard a scream.
"AAAGGHHH!!!" Hichigo screeched.
My eyes flew open and I saw Hichigo struggling with himself.
"Toshiro!! Run while you can! I'll hold him off!" a familiar voice yelled.
I saw that Ichigo was trying to take over his body again.
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end
Despite Ichigo's pleas, I stood my ground, "No. I will not leave you to suffer against this thing."
Hichigo's voice scoffed, "A 'thing' am I? Well then…"
With a loud yell, Hichigo took control once again, "Such a shame. You had your chance but you blew it."
He walked up to me and lifted my chin, "What a beautiful and flawless face. No wonder Ichigo loves you so much. You're too perfect."
"Don't touch me." I spat.
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
The hollow grunted, "Such impudence isn't tolerated." He smacked me across the face.
I coughed up blood as I felt the stinging on the side of my face, "You bastard. If you were really Ichigo's hollow you wouldn't treat his expecting lover like this."
"Well, I'm not exactly as gentle-hearted as that pathetic wimp. I'm a bit more abusive and dominant." Hichigo said smiling.
Before I knew it, I felt his lips pressed against mine. He pushed me against the wall and deepened the kiss. I was struggling as much as I could. But that only made him smile as my lips began to bruise. He pulled on my hair which caused me to gasp. He took this opportunity to shove his tongue into my mouth. I could feel his razor sharp teeth puncturing my lips like vampire fangs. It was pure agony. My helpless screams were muffled so no one could hear.
It's hiding in the dark, its teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster
I tried to shove him off of me as best I could but it was no use. I was running out of air. A searing pain went through my back as I felt his long nails digging into my skin and his teeth drawing blood on my lips. At last, my prayers were answered and he finally had to break for air.
I fell to the floor gasping for breath, "What…the fuck…is wrong with you?!"
Hichigo stepped back and grinned, "To be honest, I don't know myself."
"THAT'S ENOUGH!!" someone shouted.
I lifted my head to see Ichigo fighting to get his body back again, "Ichigo…please…stop him." I whined.
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
"I'm trying." He assured me, "But he's gotten stronger!"
Hichigo's voice sounded, "Of course I have! So that I may finally defeat you!"
"Never in my life!"
"But you life is over!"
"Shut up!"
"Make me!"
Ichigo roared, "I WILL!"
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control, he something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster
Ichigo struggled once more to get the mask off and finally, it started to crack. Then I got an idea.
I stood up, "Brace yourself Ichigo."
Ichigo froze, "What are you doing Toshiro?"
I started walking toward him, "I'm sorry, this may hurt, but it should get rid of that mask. You hafta trust me."
"Okay." Ichigo nodded.
I took a breath and pointed my finger to the center of the mask, "Hado 4 Byakurai."
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
A beam shot out and punctured the mask as well as Ichigo's skin underneath it. At last, the mask shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
Ichigo fell to his knees and started coughing up blood.
I gave him a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry Ichigo but I had to get it off you. Otherwise he would've easily overpowered you again."
I knelt down to him hugged him. After a few seconds, Ichigo weakly hugged back.
"Don't ever try to keep secrets from me again. And if that happens again, I beg of you, let me help." I said.
The strawberry nodded and buried his head into my chest, "All right, I promise."
Wasn't that the sweetest? Well the end part anyway. I really loved this chapter even though it took me two days to write it!
Hitsugaya: I hafta admit. It was pretty good.
Gin: I guess it was. Not havin' me in it was a bit of a problem.
Me: You had an entire chapter to yourself last time. You aren't the main character in the fanfic, Gin.
Hitsugaya: Hey, what did you name Ichimaru and Kira's baby again?
Me: Blayne. Why do you ask?
Hitsugaya: Just wanting to make sure. It sounds really cool and I still don't want some lame ass names for my daughters.
Me: Well I hate to tell all the readers but I might not update for a while.
Gin: Why?
Me: Because the community play I'm in is having rehearsals almost everyday now and it's gonna be harder to find time to write.
Hitsugaya: What play are you in?
Me: High School Musical. The community youth acting group I'm in is doing it and I was cast. If I can, I might take a little part of it and post it on Youtube, put up the URL for it and the readers can see it!
Gin: Sounds interestin'.
Me: Yep! Oh, speaking of Youtube URLs, there is an awesome Bleach video with the song that was in the chapter that you should see!

Hitsugaya: So do you want me to wrap this up?
Me: Eh, sure. My fingers hurt from typing.
Hitsugaya: REVIEW SO YOU CAN SUGGEST NON CRAPPY NAMES FOR MY DAUGHTERS!!!
Me: Nice.
