Chapter: 30, Woot! Woot! Bow-chica wah wah!!
Title: Miracle
A/N: Last chapter we found out that out that our favorite dark skinned goddess was a preggo! Now, whats a woman to do with such knowledge? Will she wait patiently for Ichigo to return presumably victorious? Or will she get all hot headed and go after her man! Read and Review! Please :) I thrive on my reviews!
"I wonder how far along you really are." Kukaku pondered, laying back on the moutain of cushions she and Yoruichi had thrown about for their comfort. Though, if you had just walked into the room, you'd swear they were pms'ing with the way things looked. Not like they cared...
"I don't know." Yoruichi mumbled, her face buried in a pillow. She was so conflicted right now. Ichigo was away, fighting for all of their lives. And here she was, delusional about the fact that she was pregnant! If they did survive this battle, she still had to tell him of the news.
"How are ya gonna tell him?" Ugh, really Kukaku did pick the most un-easy and mind racking questions at the worst possible time! The question had only sent Yoruichi's warped mind into another dimension altogether.
That was the worst part.
Ichigo was new to the whole 'love' concept. She'd taken his virginity for god sakes! The poor boy was still in his teens, barely 18 now. Of course, that was only thanks for his time progression training in Kisuke's under-developed training chamber. She had no idea how he would take the news of being a father so early in his life. Hell, she didn't even know if she were ready for a child. It was something she'd never considered, never even crossed her mind in the past.
And Yoruichi was no virgin. She'd been with her fair share of men; had her fair share of relationships. None, however, had ever been as serious as the one she now shared with Ichigo. She'd never even felt this way for anyone. Though she wasn't new to the dating scene, she still felt as if it were her first time with the young reaper. He made her feel so many different things, hightened her life completely.
"Well you have ta tell him." Taking a long puff on her cig, Kukaku closed her eyes, her legs crossed over each other as she tapped her foot on the ground. Really, how could the woman be so calm at such a crucial time? Sometimes Yoruichi just didn't understand her old friend.
"Show a little compassion." Yoruichi groaned, tossing the pillow at Kukaku. The goddess stared up at the ceiling; wondering how the fight was going. She couldn't sense Ichigo's spiritual pressure flexing yet, so she guessed they were still scheming their plan or preparing for the battle. "Its just too sudden, Kukaku. Not only are my nightmares back, but this Takashito bastard is out terrorizing soul society... For Ichigo!"
The dark skinned beauty couldn't help but feeling as if she were on some tv drama reality show. Though, she knew who the father was so that part of the drama was excluded...
"Life sucks sometimes."
The comment earned Kukaku a sarcastic glare.
"We haven't been 'alive' for centuries Kukaku." Yoruichi stood, wrapping her arms around herself. Ichigo was powerful, she knew that. But she couldn't shake the feeling of fear that had managed to sink its way into her heart. It was ripping her apart from the inside. Being pregnant only added to her stress. Now that she knew she was carrying his child, she was more afraid of losing him. If anything happened to him, she definitely couldn't go through with having the baby.
Setting a hand over her lower abdomen, the dark skinned flash mistress furrowed her brow. Did she ever have it in her to be a mother? To raise a child? For all her charm and woman aspects, she wasn't exactly motherly. She trained pupils, fought hollows! She didn't raise children from scratch.
Kukaku watched as her old friend stepped out of the room. Fading foot steps could be heard going further down into her pad.
'Yoruichi..'
Ichigo gritted his teeth as he blocked the falling debri. They had just made it to the spot where Takashito had been raging hell. And hell literally had no affiliation with the wreckage they saw.
"Looks like this little beasty has caused quite the mess." Kisuke grinned, pushing his hat further down. Ichigo lifted his zanpackuto, holding it out in front of him as the beast known as Takashito emerged from the ruins of district 5. The thing that revealed itself was no small creature. Red eyes were the first noticable feature through the smoke and falling rubble. A loud screech was heard before an enormous white and black hollow appeared. It had human features, but it was rather tall. Two horns stuck out from the top of its head; each horn Ichigo guessed was about 3 feet long. It had a tail bone; pointy and bone sharp, ranging from 11 to 12 feet long. The beasts talons were sharp and pointed, and it seemed to have the ability of regeneration. Each time a limb was cut off, two more grew in its place.
Like brother... like brother.
"You can definitely tell this one was related to your old friend." Really, Kisuke didn't know when to shut his mouth. Even as a large talon came crashing down from above; he still had the wits to crack an unwise joke.
"Friend? He tried to kill me and almost killed Yoruichi." Ichigo growled, bringing his blade down across Takashito's arm. "I wonder if this freak talks..."
It hadn't taken long for Ichigo start his big-mouth.
"Hey you! My names Ichigo Kurosaki! Your after me aren't you!?" Takashito turned his frightening glare towards the orange haired reaper, slowly making his way over to him. Ichigo furrowed his brow as he stared up at the vizard.
"We've got a score to settle..." Ah, so it did talk.
"And you need a tic-tac." Urahara sighed, waving his fan in front of his face. The comment earned a hiss and several rays of cero. Dodging, the trio drew their zanpackuto's, each one calling for their bankai.
"Hey dad, leave the finishing blow for me." Ichigo grinned, watching as his father charged his power and then charged the beast.
'Yoruichi...'
Said goddess sighed as she laid back on the small bed she'd dawned when staying over at Kukaku's. She'd felt her love's spiritual pressure rise, as well as Kisuke's and Isshins not but a few moments ago. She could sense they were fighting; could feel it deep within her. And god was it killing her to just sit back and do nothing!
She hated missing out on fights; especially when someone important to her was fighting that fight. The whole reason she had left souls society with Kisuke in the first place was to explore new things; take the risk. She was all for risk taking; all for the thrill of things.
Though lately, she found herself lagging in that area of enjoyment. She knew what it was. Had known for some time.
It was her knew feelings for Ichigo that had surpressed her wild side.
And being pregnant with said reapers child only made it that much worse.
How did she manage to become prenant in the first place?
Though she never used protection with Ichigo, one would think that her ability to conceive died with her body along time ago. It would seem rather logical. Fact being that her body was no longer of 'living' status. She was a soul reaper; a soul who had particial spirit distribution.
It was a miracle that such a thing could happen. But then again Ichigo was conceived under the same pretenses. His father had only been in a gigai when he'd met Misaki; when he had provided the sperm for the fetus. How as any of it possible.
Yoruichi found it harder and harder to concentrate, she could feel the pressure of Ichigo's power.
"Damnit!" Ichigo shouted, hitting the ground hard. Grunting, he stood, one eye blurred by the blood running down his forehead. Holding his hand in front of his face, he began calling his spiritual power. All too soon had a mask covered his face, his power whirling around him as he flash stepped, charging Takashito. He'd had the beast on his last breath, could sense he was almost doen for. But he couldn't seem to land a finishing blow with the demons regeneration technique.
"Try aiming for his head!" Isshin shouted, clashing blades with a mirror image of Takashito. Kisuke had been having the same problem...
"Its not fair this freak can multiply..." Gritting his teach, Kisuke pushed the vizard minion back, blasting him with his bankai. "Ichigo, hurry up and kill him already!"
"Easier said than done!" Ichigo growled, slashing away at the flesh of the vizards torso. "What the hell!"
Kisuke and Isshin turned their heads, eyes widening. Both Ichigo and Takashito had disappeared... And in their place was an enormous red dome.
"Ichigo!" Yoruichi's heart dropped as she felt his spiritual pressure fade away. Kukaku came running into the room, nodding her head when Yoruichi glanced to her. Without a second thought, the two were on their way to the battle ground.
A/N: Not the best chapter. But its an update. I realize my writing rather sucks; I've been reading over it and I'm thinking about putting my Yoru/Ichi and Bleach fics on Hiatus. I'll finish them at some point or another... But I've realized my writing sucks. I need to work on my skill a bit. And I also think I've butchered two great characters. I hate myself for doing that but I do intend to make this better. I do intend on making another Yoru/Ichi fic. I might, however, remove all my Bleach stories. So if you get on one day, looking to read my stories (not likely) and find they are gone, I took them off. And so the question remains, Should I stop writing Yoru/Ichi fics? Please, please, please Review.
