Hello again! I am back with another update! This one won't be quite as long. I've been re-watching Dark of the Bleeding Moon, the second of the Bleach musicals. I forgot just how awesome it was. So there will be a little bit of song in this one. It's called Tsuki Yo Oshiete Kure, translated into: "Moon, please tell me." This is the translated version of the song. There are gonna be a few surprises in this little chapter. And Gin will be kinda OOC. But oh well, let's see how this goes.
Toshiro: Cookie doesn't own Bleach or its characters.
Me: If I did, Bleach would be SO much different.
If you wanna read a REALLY funny Bleach mpreg fanfic, read BleachPreg. It is hilarious, I loved it. It is complete with the cracky pairings and WTF moments! Also look in the reviews for a funny review I did for it!!

Gin's POV
Izuru had been released from the 4th Division a few days after Blayne was born. I made sure to keep him in his room for a while to let him heal and so he could get some rest. I was doing some work in my office when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Gin Ichimaru." The voice sounded.
I turned around to see who it was and surprisingly enough, it was Tosen, "Tosen, what a nice surprise. What are ya doing here?"
"Lord Aizen has ordered me to take you back to Hueco Mundo where you belong." He said.
I chuckled, "I'm afraid I can't do tat."
Tosen raised an eyebrow, "Why not?"
"Because, I have family to take care of." I told him.
The former taicho scoffed, "Very funny. Everyone knows you don't have any relatives."
I rolled my eyes, "I know that. I'm talkin' about my lover and our child."
"Child?" Tosen repeated, "When was this child born?"
"Just a few weeks ago actually." I said proudly.
Tosen grunted, "Congratulations. Although it is a pity."
"Hmm? What do ya mean?" I asked.
"You are going to leave them so early in life." He said.
With no reaction time, my hands were behind my back and Tosen forced me to look up at him, "You have one hour to gather your things and come to Hueco Mundo. If you do not show within the time limit, your lover and child will be murdered."
He let go of me and disappeared into thin air. I was in shock of what had just occurred. I knew Tosen was not one to give empty threats. I gathered up my things and wrote a quick letter to Izuru and made my way to Hueco Mundo. I only hoped that Izuru would understand why I had to do this.
Three days later
I sighed as I sat in my jail cell of a room. When I arrived at Las Noches, I was branded a traitor and a prisoner, and I was quickly locked up in my old room. There was only one window which was high up where I couldn't reach. All I could think about was Izuru and the baby. I only hope he got my letter. Aizen was obviously still upset about my leaving and was determined to get me back. I had next to nothing to do in the bland room except sleep and stare at the walls. I started to think back when I first started in the Soul Reaper Academy. There was a song they taught us to sing whenever we felt depressed. Well I got nothing better to do, "Moon, please tell me. What was the meaning of me becoming a Soul Reaper? Just what…do I want to do?" That song was so contagious when we were younger. If one started singing, everyone else would follow. How I wanted to watch my son grow up. I guess that's just another hopeless wish. I just hope Izuru is okay.
Toshiro's POV
I laid in my hospital bed in silence. I had encouraged Ichigo to go back to the 10th division and not to worry about me. After much arguing, he finally did. But now I feel lonely in my dark room. I was taken off most of the machines because I had improved dramatically. I was still pretty banged up with bumps and bruises though. I was still held here to keep an eye on the twins. They were being quite restless. My mother used to sing to me when I couldn't sleep. What was that song I learned in the academy? Maybe that would calm them down, "Moon, please tell me. Ever since I became a Soul Reaper, just what…have I done?" I could feel them settling down a bit. I could tell that they were hurting. I felt bad for putting them in such danger. Since Gin's disappearance, Izuru has been so depressed and lonely. I feel so bad for him.
Izuru's POV
I sat there alone in my room cradling the baby in my arms. Gin couldn't have left on purpose. He wouldn't escape when he was so excited about the baby coming. I feel so depressed. When did my life take such a dark turn? I used to be so happy when I was younger. I was a bit shy at times but I still had Renji and Momo as friends. What was it that drove us apart? I loved the Soul Reaper Academy. There was so much to do and learn. Especially that one song that everyone knew. It would always bring everyone together in a sort of truce. I kissed the top of Blayne's head. Maybe singing it would make me feel a bit better, "Moon, I want you to tell me. It might all be my fault. I just don't know. Just who…and what should I believe in? Moon, I want you to tell me."
I noticed Renji walk in the room, "Renji, what is it?"
He placed a letter in front of me, "A letter for you. It was in Ichimaru-taicho's office."
I gasped, "Ichimaru-taicho? For me?"
"You're lucky I found it. If it were someone else, they may have taken it as evidence. It might not ever have reached you. I don't know what's written there. But if my taicho's last words were for me, as a fukutaicho, I'd be happy. It'll be alright, Izuru." My former schoolmate told me.
I watched him leave, "Thank you." I muttered. I opened the letter and read it.
Izuru,
If you are reading this, I am not around for you or the baby. Don't lose faith in me. I have been taken against my will back to Hueco Mundo. I don't know when I'll see you again. It may be tomorrow, it may be in a year. But I promise, I still love you and Blayne with all my heart. Don't come after me for you will probably be killed on site. I love you Izuru. Don't forget that.
Gin
My eyes widened, "Aizen!"
Ichigo's POV
Toshiro ordered me to go back to the division. But I still worry about him constantly. When Gin disappeared, I knew it wouldn't be on purpose. Aizen had to have kidnapped him. That's why I sent a hell butterfly to Hueco Mundo to tell an old friend about it and to bring him back safely. There is no reason Izuru should be abandoned again.
Gin's POV
"In the shadows of your bloody tears, my skin melts. It exposes my true self. Why, moon? Please tell me."
I stopped singing and sat in silence. All of the sudden, the one window shattered as a young woman with blue green long hair jumped through it.
I stared at her, "You are…"
"Neliel Tu Oderschvank, Espada number 5. Long time no see, Gin." She interrupted.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
She held out her hand to me, "I've come to save you."
END! I told you it would be a short chapter. It wasn't as short as I thought it would be. If you wanna hear the song, go to YT and type in "Dark of the Bleeding Moon Sub" and watch part 5. It's a lovely song and Izuru's voice is so pretty in it! While the roles are somewhat reversed from in here, you can still enjoy it! Tonight they are showing the first Bleach movie.
Toshiro: You mean Memories of Nobody?
Me: Yes.
Gin: I'm not in that one.
Me: You aren't in any of the movies. As for as I know, you are MENTIONED ONCE in the second movie.
Izuru: Why are they showing the movie instead of new episodes?
Me: Because Bleach is going on hiatus for a while. I'm pissed as hell, lemme tell ya.
Toshiro: I bet you are.
Me: Oh I am! Even though the next season is a filler arc, I don't care! It has Izuru in it!
Izuru: The Amagai arc?
Me: Yeah. The Bount arc was long enough. I'm just gonna hafta resort to the subs for now.
Toshiro: So what's this about the Bleach musicals?
Me: Yeah! There are a lot of them! There is Saien, Dark of the Bleeding Moon, Live Bankai Show Code 001, No Clouds in the Blue Heavens, The All, and Live Bankai Show Code 002. Unfortunately, the last two aren't fully subbed. But you all are in them!
Gin: Even me?
Me: Yep! The Bleach musicals helped me fall in love with you! Izuru too! There are some differences between the anime/manga and the musicals.
Toshiro: Such as?
Me: Toshiro is taller than Rangiku. Yoruichi doesn't get naked (she just dances around talking about her breasts). Uryu, Yachiru, Yumichika, Ganju, and Ukitake are the most noticed of the bunch of characters that are absent through all the musicals. Rangiku is absent in a couple musicals because of various reasons. During the battle with Byakuya, Ichigo doesn't get overpowered by his hollow. Some women's chests aren't as big as they are supposed to be because the traditional Japanese woman isn't exactly "well endowed". Some bankais don't look the same due to it being kinda hard for a GIANT ICE DRAGON to randomly appear on stage. Aizen isn't actually shown dead. Neither is the Soukyoku shown. And there isn't as much blood and gore as there is in the manga.
Izuru: That's a lot of differences.
Me: Yep. But all in all it stays pretty loyal to the manga. They can only do so much. Uryu is the character most questioned in why he isn't in them. The answer is simple. Do you think it would be safe for his arrows that he doesn't have complete control over to be flying around the stage? No. Of course not. But besides all the negatives, they pull it off really well. The songs don't seem out of place. The characters are well portrayed. There is some humor in it that is always a treat. And the kickass music is awesome.
Gin: What is yer favorite out of them all?
Me: I would hafta say a tie between Dark of the Bleeding Moon and Live Bankai Show Code 001. Dark of the Bleeding Moon has the best music and is the most loyal to the story. Live Bankai Show Code 001 has the most humor in it.
Izuru: Alright, I think we need to close this.
Me: Agreed, it's getting way too long. Izuru, would you like to do the honors?
Izuru: REVIEW TO HELP SAVE GIN!!!
