Summary: As of late, Rangiku has been more and more depressed even though it's been four years since the defeat of Aizen's army. Ichigo has been reclusive of late since their is hardly any hollows to fight since the fall in Hueco four years ago and rarely finds anything exciting. Friends of both parties have tried everything to cheer them up and yet everything failed. In a last attempt, they bring the two of them together and it's an instantious click. But will forces of the unknown threaten to tear the relationship apart?
A/N:Wow, It has been a long time since I updated ^ ^. To let you guys know, the story has leaped into next year already so now were in Feburary (I wouldn't be celebrating either with all the hell going on...) BUT! I'll make sure now to include the holidays into the story now :). Unfortunately still the NelxByakuya story will take a bit since Im still figuring out the story line. Now for the disclaimers, Toushirou?

Chapter 11: Mirrors
"Hows my lil Ran-Chan doing?"
Looking at her guest, Rangiku sneered. "Go to hell Gin." Touching her stomach, she cherished the small bump that was showing more and more everyday. Rubbing it, she felt one of the twins move.
"Aww! Are our kids moving?"
"Not yours." Narrowing her eyes, she touched Hanieko's hilt as a warning though she had her back to him.
"What..."
"Now, now Gin, leave her be... After all she is a mother to be."
Sitting on her new bed, Rangiku kept her back turned to them and her hand on Haineko's hilt. Closing her eyes, she blocked out all noise and entered her zanpaktou's realm...
"Rangiku!"
"Hi there." Smiling down at the neko, the strawberry blonde sat on one of the chairs presented to her. Shifting so that she got comfortable, a sigh escaped pale lips.
"Still bad out there?" Looking at her owner, the neko frowned. Relaxing back on some pillows, her brows furrowed even more when she saw her nod. "Then do something or what not!"
"Not that simple" Opening blue eyes, Rangiku looked at the tense spirt.
Sighing, Hanikeo let her tail lounge across her waist as she sat up to look at her guardian. "Rangiku..."
Sensing a disturbance, Rangiku stood up. "I have to go..." Exiting her zanpaktou, she slapped the hand away aimed for one of her developing breasts.
"Nice to have you back."
Glaring into brown eyes, she looked away and out towards the night sky. "Leave me alone."
"You need your rest anyway."
Feeling a kiss on her cheek, Rangiku wiped it off as the the occupants left and the door closed. Getting up off of the bed, the expecting mother to be made her way over to the bathroom and locked it. Turning on the shower, she stripped of her new outfit given to her and stepped into the warming waters. Feeling another kick, she brought her hand down to where the twins rested and rubbed them. "Easy now..." Washing herself up, she paid special attention to the little jerky movements she felt and smiled. "You guys like the water." Giggling when she felt two little taps, she washed her hair before turning off what little comfort she had and stepped out of the shower. Drying herself off, Rangiku walked back naked into the other room. Stopping in front of a body lenght mirror, she paused and looked at herself. 'Wow... Everything has gotten different." Touching her hair, she noticed now that the light colored locks fell to around her knees. Touching her chest, she winced a little at the tenderness from swelling. Resting her hands on her abdomen, she looked back at her reflection. Tears welled up in her eyes as she kneeled down to the floor once the image of her and Ichigo popped into her mind. "Ichigo..."
"You sense it too right Gin?"
"I do my lord."
Walking down the rebuilt walls, Aizen thought deeply. "Those will be powerful children... Rangiku does not know of the power that she contains in her body right now." Placing his hand on the wall, a door opened to let Gin and himself go threw. Closing it behind them, he walked over to the table and sat down at the head chair.
"Yes, Ichigo's children will be marvelous little things when there born and raised."
"Thats the problem, Ichigo's children..."
"So?"
Looking up at Gin, Aizen noticed that the gold ring was fading slightly and frowned. 'It must be wearing off... I'll have to fix that later...' "You know Ichigo will now be out for blood since we took her away."
"Then we'll just kill him." Smiling sadistically, Gin tilted his head to the side and started at his leader.
"Touche... But that is no easy feat either since he has that hollow and all of soul society at his back too..." Interlinking his fingers, a sudden shock of reitsu sent him slightly into attack mode. "What was that?"
"Ichigo?" Drawing Shinso from its sheath, Gin looked ready to race off and attack the subsitute soul reaper.
"Wait, its not him..." Rising from his seat, Aizen opened his palm and a orb floated upwards. Expanding, it showed Rangiku laying under the sheets. "Its her..."
"Mmmm..." Shifting under the covers, Rangiku frowned as she started to dream...
"Rangiku!"
"Haineko!" Looking around, Rangiku gasped in shock when the ground beneath her began to shake. Breaking, she fell downwards into the darkness frantically searching for her zanpaktou spirit. "Haineko! Haineko!"
"Shut up."
"What?" Slamming against something hard, the strawberry blonde blacked out...
"Wake up."
Blinking, everything appeared blurry to me until I saw a pale white hand reach out to me. Snapping out of my daze, I looked around to see were I was at. "This...Is like an inverted Karakura Town... What the hell?"
"Kheh... Foolish asshole."
"Whose there?" Standing up, I heard cackling laughter echo around me and the tip of a blade in my back.
"Hello there Rangiku Matsumoto."
Spinning around, I screamed when I saw the person behind me. "Who... Who are you?"
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Rangiku Matsumoto." Bowing, silver hair floated down over shoulders. Standing up, midnight blue eyes flickered with mirth and amusement at the astonished face before. Alabaster white skin seemed to reflect the sunlight off as a crooked smile etched its way across her face.
I froze for a second. "But I'm... Oh no... You can't be..." The person supposed to be me cackled and I fell to the floor of this backwards world.
"Thats right dear... I'm your hollow..."
