Seriously though...what the hell am i doing wrong!!!!!! If any guys read this story, which i know you do, what do you look for in a girl. I really want to know why I have lived 17 years and never been asked out on a date. my mom is always telling me that it cant be because im not pretty because she says my friends are way uglier than me and have boyfriends and it confuses her.

Anyways I digress

Enjoy this chapter. And as a warning, there is some graphic stuff in this chapter. I do not condone what happens in this chapter (youll know when you read it) and I think it is extremely disgusting and disturbing. Anyone who does what happens deserves to go to jail and be burned alive by his inmates and rot in the depths of hell for all eternity!

I dont own bleach...blah blah

Chapter 17: Scarred Memories

Rukia sat down on the bed next to Ichigo, who laid back into the bed and groaned. He placed his hands on his face and sighed, running them down his face until they were on his chest.

"So what are we gonna do?" Rukia asked, setting the test on the desk.

"What do you mean what are we gonna do?" Ichigo scoffed. "We're gonna live with it and be the best parents we can at 16." He looked at Rukia with determination and motivation sparkling in his deep amber eyes, and Rukia smiled slightly. This was why she fell in love with him. He would never abandon her; he would always do the right thing, and fight for what he believed in.

"I thought you'd say that" she smiled. Her smile quickly dropped though. "Are we gonna tell anyone?" she asked. He sat up and scratched the back of his neck and sighed.

"That is entirely up to you Rukia" he replied. "You're the one carrying it. I mean you obviously can't hide it forever, but who you tell when is up to you. I won't tell anyone you don't want to know, and I won't say a word about anything until you're ready." He grabbed Rukia's hand and squeezed. "Don't worry. No matter what, it's going to be ok" he smiled at her. She smiled back and laid her head on his shoulder. He removed his hand from hers and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her in closer, and grabbing her hand with his free one. He stroked the back of her hand with his thumb and rested his head on hers, kissing it lightly. "Don't worry. It's all good." She nodded and they just sat there like that for a little while, not saying anything. Absorbing the life changing information that they had just been given.

"We have to tell Yoruichi" she murmured. This made Ichigo shoot up.

"YORUICHI!" he shouted. "Of all people we might need to tell you wanna tell Yoruichi!" he gaped. "She has a HUGE mouth!" he exasperated.

"Pregnant vampires obviously need more blood than normal ones, and I already need more than the average vampire as it is. I'm going to need the artificial blood if I want to survive this and carry a healthy child." Ichigo sighed and nodded.

"You need to see a doctor too" he sighed.

"A vampire doctor" she nodded. He did a double take.

"Huh?"

"If I go to a doctor they will need a blood sample. And you've noticed that we have different blood than humans" she lectured.

"Ya, I noticed that when my dad did my physical and was all freaking out about my blood test. I went to a doctor that sensei gave me the number for and he told him it was fine. Needless to say my dad hasn't been my doctor since" he sighed. "Alright, we'll ask Yoruichi to put us in touch with a doctor." Rukia nodded. "You wanna go visit her now? We're not doing anything." Ichigo nodded.

"We just have to be done before the meeting tonight" he added, lending a hand to help her up. She groaned.

"I forgot about the meeting…"

Renji's Apartment

Renji was laying on the couch lazily, sprawled out completely in a black hoodie and a pair of jeans. He had been absently flipping channels until he landed on this foreign sport. He believed it was called ice hockey. Tatsuki had been out shopping with Orihime and had just walked in, frowning when she saw Renji completely engrossed in the television. She went to their room and placed her bags next to the closet before walking out to find that Renji hadn't moved a muscle. She walked behind the couch and leaned over it.

"What are you watching?" she asked as she looked at the TV. At that moment a guy in red totally and utterly destroyed a guy in white with a devastating hit and smashed the glass panel around the ice into a thousand pieces, scattering over the excited fans behind it. The whistle blew and the guy in red checked to see if the fans and the guy in white were alright, before picking a glass shard out of the guy in white's uniform. The fans were screaming their lungs out in approval of the event and people ran out onto the ice with a new panel of glass and a broom. Tatsuki's jaw dropped. This sport was VIOLENT! And she liked it.

"Ice hockey" Renji mumbled. Tatsuki nodded and jumped over the couch, landing on the bottom of Renji's back. He oomphed but stayed put as they replaced the glass and the game continued. "It's addicting…."

"I like it…" she stared at the TV like Renji. After about 20 minutes the horn blew for the intermission and Renji and Tatsuki snapped out of it. However they sat there, Tatsuki sitting on his back. She leaned back into the couch and he shut his eyes. They sat there for a few moments with nothing but the commercials echoing throughout the room until Renji yawned.

"So did you have fun shopping?" he asked lazily. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He never asked her what she did when she was gone with Orihime. She smiled.

"Fun" she grinned. "Orihime dragged me into practically every store in the mall" she laughed. He nodded into the chair.

"So what'd you buy?" he asked. This shocked her again.

"You wanna see um?" she asked half excitedly. He nodded.

"Whatever, but you got about 10 minutes before the game starts again" he yawned. She grinned and jumped off his back.

"I'll model them for you" she laughed. Even with her tomboyish appearance, Tatsuki was still a girl, and was always proud of the clothes she bought. She ran into their bedroom and rummaged through the bag.

Hmm….what to show him? I don't wanna show him everything. He'll probably get irritated. But which one??? She continued rummaging until she found it. "Perfect" she grinned.

Renji was watching some guy with WAY outta style hair (Barry Melrose anyone?) talking about the hockey teams. He heard Tatsuki running down the hall and lazily lifted his head to see her. His eyes about popped out of his head.

"I think this one is my favorite" she smiled. It was a black halter top that wrapped around just above her breasts, hugging her tightly and exposing her curves. The top had red almost claw marks in it, appearing to be shredded. The bottom was a black frilled skirt with dark red stripes running at angles. "If I could get my hair to grow out in my human form it would be perfect" she grinned. "I'm thinking about growing it out. What do you think Renji?" she asked. However Renji hadn't heard her question. He was too busy staring.

I knew she was pretty. But she's fucking gorgeous!" How have I never noticed her body before? We've been friends for years and she's been living with me for two weeks! Oh shit…this is bad. He noticed that his blood was rushing southward, and a certain part of his anatomy was growing harder with each passing second. Damnit! I need to get out of here and fast before I lose it! At least I'm on my stomach and she can't see it. Damnit Tatsuki go back to the bedroom! That thought didn't do anything to help Renji, it only made it worst. Damn I suck at this!

"Renji?" Tatsuki asked when he didn't respond. He shook his head and tried to act normal.

"Ya?" he nervously grinned, feeling his pants getting tighter with every passing second.

"I asked you what you thought about me wearing my harpy hair permanently?" she answered slightly concerned.

Damn that would be hot! He shook his head. No bad! "It would look nice" he nodded. She smiled.

"Alright, I'll go change again. You wanna go out for dinner tonight? I forgot to go shopping for groceries while I was out" she laughed.

"No problem" he nodded. She ran to the room and the second he heard the door shut he jumped and ran towards the bathroom, shutting the door quietly so that she wouldn't know he rushed like a madman to get in there the second she got up. He leaned against the door panting, and looked down, noticing the tight tent in his crotch.

"Damn Tatsuki…" he groaned as he slid to the floor. He rested his head in his hands and sighed. "Why do I feel like this all the sudden? It was like BAM!" he looked down again. "You're gonna be the death of me dude" he sighed. He got up and went to the shower, setting it as cold as it would get. "Guess I'm missing the start of the third…"

Tatsuki walked back into the living room to find Renji gone. She looked around until she heard the shower running. She shrugged and sat down on the couch, propping her feet up on the coffee table and began watching the game again.

Urahara Shoten

Rukia and Ichigo slowly slid the doors of the shoten open. They peered around the corner to see if anyone was there. Luckily hat n' clogs appeared to be out so they walked in slightly relieved. They knew Yoruichi was usually in the back room napping at this time, so they went to the back and slid the door open. Sure enough, they found a little black cat curled up in a little ball on the couch sleeping. They sat down across from her and decided to wait for her to wake up, which didn't take long when Ichigo sat on a whoopee cushion that Urahara had randomly planted in his couches.

"What do you two want?" the black cat yawned. She sat up and looked at the couple. They were looking at the ground, unsure as to what they should say, or how they should say it. Ichigo sighed and scratched the back of his head. Rukia followed suit, but started.

"I'm not sure how I should say this, but we need your help. Desperately."

"Oh?" Yoruichi tilted her head curiously. "How so?"

"We need access to the artificial blood….and a lot of it" Ichigo still wouldn't look at the cat.

"You're going to have to tell me why?" she frowned. Ichigo and Rukia gulped, looking at each other and nodding. Rukia then turned to the black cat and sighed.

"I'm pregnant." They looked at the cat, who had the widest eyes they had ever seen on an animal. The cat opened her mouth and stuttered.

"Run…that by me again?" she asked.

"I'm going to have a baby. And Ichigo is the father." The cat stared at them for a minute before falling to the floor. "Yoruichi!" Rukia and Ichigo shouted. The cat jumped up and jumped on Rukia's lap.

"I won't tell anyone" she grinned. "On one condition."

"What's that?" Ichigo asked.

"I wanna be the godmother" the cheeky cat grinned. This time Ichigo and Rukai fell over. "And yes you can have access to the blood."

"Thanks…." Ichigo spattered.

"Oh Ichigo, Uryu and Chad wanted to go hunting with you before the meeting" the cat reminded. "I want to talk with Rukia anyway, so if you would?"

"Oh right!" he remembered. He jumped up and kissed Rukia goodbye before running out of the shoten. Yoruichi turned towards Rukia and sighed.

"I'm going to tell you a story. My intention isn't to freak you out…but I feel like you should know." Rukia nodded and stood to go the front of the store. "I'll be there in a minute, let me change." The cat ran to the back of the store to change and Rukia took a seat at the table. Minutes later a fully human and fully dressed Yoruichi walked out and sat across from Rukia.

"Now Rukia. Are you and Ichigo really ready to be parents?" she asked sternly, looking Rukia straight in the eye. She was leaning on her arms, which were placed firmly on her legs, leaning forward to confront Rukia. Rukia leaned back and sighed.

"No. We didn't plan for this to happen. But Ichigo and I decided we are going to be the best parents we can to this child, and do whatever we must to care for it" Rukia smiled. "Ichigo really loves me, and I can tell he already loves this baby." She placed a hand on her stomach and smiled at it. "I love the baby too. We may be young, but we're bringing a new life into this world, and we're going to make sure we do it right." Yoruichi could only sigh and smile at the young princess.

"You're still so young, yet you say words so wise" she smiled. "Ok, I'll tell you my story. Because I don't want you to suffer the same way me and Kisuke did…"

13 Years Ago

Yoruichi and Kisuke Urahara were a very happy couple living in the middle of Karakura town. They had been married for about 100 years, however had failed to conceive a child.

Until now.

Yoruichi had missed her period and immediately taken a pregnancy test. She was pacing back and forth in the bathroom waiting impatiently for the results to come back. Her and Kisuke had been trying so hard to conceive for years. The timer beeped and she ran over to the test, which was sitting on the sink. She was almost too scared to look, but she did, and her face almost exploded when she saw the result.

"OH MY GOD KISUKE!" she screamed, running out of the bathroom. Kisuke heard her and jumped up from his desk to find her.

"What's wrong Yoruichi!" he gasped, just having ran to the front of the house.

"Nothing…" she was smiling giddily. She was breathing almost as hard as he was. "We're having a baby!" she shouted, jumping up and down like a little girl who had just gotten a pony for her birthday. It took a moment for it to sink into Kisuke's mind, but he soon grinned as much as Yoruichi and hugged her tightly.

"It's about time!" he laughed. They were jumping up and down in excitement. They ceased after a minute and held each other in a tight embrace.

"I'm so happy Kisuke" Yoruichi smiled tearfully. "I've wanted this for so long now…"

"I know sweetie, me too" Kisuke grinned, kissing her ear.

"So how is this bad?" Rukia asked. "You and Urahara were so happy" she smiled. Then she thought and made a strange face. "But wait a minute…you and Kisuke don't have any…" Rukia's eyes widened as Yoruichi's soon began to fill with tears. Rukia knew something bad had happened with the child. There was no child in the Urahara family, and the goddess of flash and the former leader of the Special Forces never cried. Yoruichi looked away and sniffled.

"No you're right. It was a very happy moment…until it all went wrong…."

A few months later Yoruichi and Kisuke had helped Orihime and Sora when they had their little incident. Sora was now working to help Yoruichi since she couldn't do as much as she used to being pregnant. The pregnancy was going smoothly and Kisuke and Yoruichi discovered that they would be having a little baby girl. They were extremely excited.

They had picked out a room in the back where the baby would sleep, right next to their room. They had bought an adorable pink crib with a matching changing table. The room was painted a rainbow of purple colors with a bubble design, and her soon to be name was painted in big letters the wall where her crib lied…

TIA……..

The months progressed and Yoruichi grew larger. Her friends and the council threw her a baby shower, all excited for the next heir of the Shihouin family to be born. They were all excited, awaiting the day of the birth.

One night 3 weeks before her due date Yoruichi went out shopping. She was walking home that night with a bag of groceries in one hand, and the other resting over her tummy.

"And when we get home we're gonna make some delicious dinner how's that sound Tia?" she grinned. She then heard something and turned behind her, only to see air. "That was weird…" she muttered. "I swear I heard something…" She turned back around and resumed walking when she sensed it. She materialized her zanpaktou and blocked an attack from behind, only to gasp in horror when she saw who was attacking.

"AIZEN!" she screamed. She jumped back and dropped her groceries, trying to protect her stomach as best she could. "What the hell are you doing?!?!" she shouted.

"Isn't it obvious?" he grinned in that sly way of his. "You have something I want…" He lunged forward and slashed at Yoruichi. She lifted her sword and blocked his attack.

"Hado number 61! Rikujokoro!" A blast of lightning burst out of her hand and shot towards Aizen, who shunpoed away. He reappeared behind Yoruichi and slashed her arm before she shunpoed away, landing on a nearby rooftop, bleeding heavily out of her shoulder. "Damn" she growled. The pregnancy had slowed her down, and was draining much of her demonic energy. Normally she wouldn't be struggling this much, but she had to be extra careful as not to harm the baby. She decided to end it right here. She stuck her sword out and gathered her demonic energy.

"BAN…KA"

"Uh uh uh…" Aizen sang when he appeared in front of her and grabbed her sword. He sliced her across the chest and tied her down with various kido.

"What the hell…" she struggled.

"This child…will be of use to me" he grinned.

"No…." she panicked. "No!!....NO!!!" she screamed and pleaded. However it was all in vain. Aizen took his sword and held it over Yoruichi's stomach. He bent over and whispered into her ear.

"This will hurt me more than it hurts you Yoruichi" he smiled. "Screaming will only make it worse…" He then slowly and meticulously sliced her stomach open, prolonging the pain as much as possible. Yoruichi began screaming as she felt the blood running down her body, more pain than she had ever experienced in her entire life. "Now now Yoruichi what did I saw about screaming?" Aizen chuckled as he dug his sword in deeper. He finally had enough of an opening to work with and cut the uterus open, pulling the baby out of her womb. He sliced the umbilical cord and the baby started crying, Yoruichi screaming the entire time.

"Don't you dare hurt Tia!" she screamed. Aizen just smiled.

"So her name is Tia hmm?" he grinned, shunpoing off, leaving a bleeding Yoruichi to die on the rooftop. She was screaming her lungs out, hoping someone would find her, that this was all a bad dream. That she would wake up in Kisuke's arms and Tia would be safe and sound. However, she knew this wasn't the case. Her baby was gone, that traitor Aizen stole her. For what purpose she didn't know, but she did know that she was going to die of blood loss on this rooftop.

Yoruichi's eyes slowly fluttered open the next day. She looked around, noticing her surroundings were white, and that she was lying in a bed. She noticed an IV running into her arm, and that her stomach was mostly healed. She realized that she was in a hospital, that she was alive. She was initially overjoyed, until she noticed the lack of a bump underneath the bed sheet where her stomach was. Her eyes began to redden when the door opened and a dark haired man walked in.

"You're lucky Ryuken happened to be patrolling last night, otherwise you may have died on that rooftop" the doctor smiled. He was holding a bottle full of a red liquid, which he handed to her. "You lost a lot of blood, so drink this." She nodded and took it, taking a sip. She soon realized it was blood and gave him a strange look. "Don't worry, I may be human, but my best friend is a vampire, I've known about you guys for years" he laughed. She nodded and looked back down at her stomach.

"She was just taken…." She shook. He nodded and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I don't know the best time to tell you this miss, but now's as good a time as ever. Your uterus was very badly damaged. You won't be able to carry a child anymore. I'm so sorry." He sighed. She nodded and the tears slowly began falling down her face. "I need to know your name so I can contact your husband. He must be worried."

"No, he's out of town, he probably doesn't even know" she sighed. "But he'll come home when he gets the call" she sighed. "The name is Yoruichi Urahara" she faked a smile.

Rukia tried to fight back her tears after hearing Yoruichi's story. Yoruichi however wasn't holding up as well. The tears were slowly rolling down her cheeks, as she clutched the teddy bear she had brought out with her.

"If you're wondering about that room we never let anyone in, it's Tia's room" she continued. "We have preserved it, to remind ourselves everyday of what we had…and what we lost." Rukia nodded.

"I'm so sorry Yoruichi…." She sighed. Yoruichi shook her head.

"Do't be, it's not your fault. It's that bastard Aizen's."

"Why haven't you turned him in?" she asked.

"Aizen is one of the most trusted lords in the 13 clans. They didn't believe us when we did say something. They said someone was framing him. But I knew it was him. That's why we were suspicious of this ration. We figured he was behind this somehow."

"What about the doctor?" Rukia asked. Yoruichi smiled.

"He's still one of my best friends to this day. He helped me so much. He and his family. They were so kind to me, helping me and Kisuke get through it. He's one of the best men I've ever had the fortune to know" she grinned. "He is the only reason I made it through that time." Rukia nodded.

"I'm not telling you this to scare you Rukia. I just want you to be careful" she warned. "Don't you dare end up like I did…you will never forgive yourself…" Rukia nodded. "Well now the meeting is going to be starting soon, you should get going" Yoruichi ushered. "Stop by in the morning and I'll give you your blood substitute. "I'll call a friend too to see about a doctor. And don't forget, I'll be here if you need me" she smiled. Rukia nodded and hugged the former lord.

"Thank you Yoruichi" she bowed. She took off, leaving Yoruichi standing at the door. She looked up, noticing that the moon was now visible amongst the horizon. She shut her eyes and let the smells of autumn waft through her nose.

"Thank you Isshin….because of what you've done for me, this is the least I can do for you" she sighed. She suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and a head rest on her shoulder.

"Tears…?" he sighed. "Thinking about Tia?" she nodded.

"I wonder…if she's ok now?" Yoruichi sighed.

"We can only hope…"

The Other side Of Town

The sun just beginning to set in the east, the cold autumn wind blowing against the 3 figures which stood on a rooftop in Karakura town. A werewolf, a vampire, and a vampire hunter all on the lookout for hollows. Suddenly Ichigo yawned and groaned.

"Nothing has shown up for 2 hours" he complained. "And you guys are about as entertaining as my toenail!" He kicked a rock and it flew off the side of the building, earning an OW from a passerby. That made Ichigo laugh.

"Shut up Ichigo, at least we don't have to hurt people to entertain ourselves" Uryu growled, pushing his glasses up his nose.

"I didn't hurt him intentionally, it just happened to hit him on the head, and it just happened to be hilarious. Maybe if you could start and hold a decent conversation I wouldn't HAVE to kick rocks for entertainment!"

"Are you insulting my social skills Kurosaki? Because last time I checked you had the social skills of a rabid raccoon!" Uryu shouted.

"Um guys?" Chad asked, scratching the back of his ear with his rear foot.

"At least I can hold a conversation! Just because people piss me off doesn't mean I'm not social!"

"Guys?"

"That's exactly what it means Kurosaki! Until middle school you didn't have any friends outside of Renji and I and how you have so many now is beyond me! I don't know how I put up with you to this day!"

"Guys….."

"You want me to kick your ass four eyes?"

"BRING IT STRAWBERRY!"

"WROAF!" they heard a loud bark come from behind them. They turned to find Chad looking at them with a serious look on his face.

"I didn't know you could bark" Ichigo said, making Chad and Uryu sweat drop.

"Don't you have a meeting Ichigo?" Chad asked. Ichigo looked at his watch.

"DAMNIT!" he shouted, shunpoing off the roof towards the hall. Once he was gone Uryu walked over to Chad.

"Do you ever get the feeling he's not telling us something?" Uryu asked.

"I've just gotten used to it…" Chad answered.

The Meeting Hall

Ichigo arrived just before the meeting started and took his seat next to lord Ukitake.

"You were this close to being late again Ichigo-kun" the white haired vampire laughed.

"Ahh, but I wasn't!" Ichigo grinned.

"Stupid" Rukia coughed, earning a scowl from Ichigo. He was about to say something when Yamamoto started.

"Alright everyone. As you know this have been a very trying time for vampires and their allies. We are under a heavy ration, and we are under attack by an enemy we believed was dead. It is of upmost importance that everyone pays attention in the meeting today. First order of business! Lord Hitsugaya! I would like your report on the movements of the arrancar!" Toshiro stood and cleared his throat.

"After the attacks 2 weeks ago I sent a team out to investigate the areas around the attacks. Evidently the area contained vampires belonging to our council at the time of the attacks. This shows that our members are the ones being targeted. We have tried to determine their location, motivation, and leader. However all attempts have so far ended in failure. We will however continue our investigation." The captain sat down and a few murmurs traveled around the room, but it soon quieted.

"Alright, we must keep a vigilant lookout for the arrancars. Next order of business, Lord Komamura! What is the status report on the amount of blood we have?" The dog like vampire rose and delivered his report.

"My clan has conducted a thorough investigation, and found that the vampires are under no shortage what so ever. It is as Lord Fon said; we are the only country on ration. Me and my clan have deduced that we should no longer be on this ration."

"Very well, that means that…"

"Lord Yamamoto if I may interject?" Tosen asked. Yamamoto stopped and urged the lord of the 9th to continue. "I have conducted my own investigation and concluded that we are not alright to be off the ration. In fact, I believe we need to ration further! I am unsure as to where my friend received his data, but I received mine directly from the suppliers themselves. We cannot afford to drink blood so freely! I propose that we cut the ration to 1 bottle every other day, as to insure we have food."

"Are you crazy!" Lord Kurotsuchi interjected. "We can barely function as is! And you want us to cut back further, just because your evidence contradicts that of Lord Komamura? I for one will not ration myself any further! Who agrees?!"

"I agree my Lord!" Nemu rose.

"I second Kurotsuchi's refusal!" Ichigo rose.

"As do I" Renji stood. Then lord Ukitake, Lord Fon and lord Kuchiki all agreed. Following Ukitake agreeing, Kyouraku followed and Unohana after that. Hitsugaya eventually followed, and all their demi-lords followed suit.

"Wait my fellow vampires" Komamura sighed. "Tosen is a good and honest man. If he has found these reports they must be true. I may have failed in my research somewhere. I do not second the motion, I agree with his ration" Komamura sighed in defeat. The room gasped and no one caught Aizen's small smile.

"Alright, as stands, the ration will continue, and you will all be reduced to 1 bottle every two days" Yamamotto rang out.

"Now wait just a minute!" Soi Fon shouted. "We're going to put ourselves in danger based on the opinions and research of one vampire!"

"Silence Lord Fon!" Yamamoto barked, surprising Soi Fon. "Lord Tosen is one of the most trusted Lord's in all the 13 clans. His information shall be trusted, especially if Lord Komamura agrees. This is final" he ordered. "I know all of you are hungry and tired, but for the survival of all vampires, we MUST do this."

"What if we all lose our sanity and turn into hollows!" Kyoraku shouted.

"Then you will be eliminated" Yamamoto decried. "My final act for tonight" he demanded. "I want you to think about a new proposal I have received. The mythical kingdoms are coming together, and thinking about revealing ourselves to the humans!" The room suddenly grew loud with words flying between the vampires. Reveal themselves to the humans? Are they insane? "Now remember this is just a proposal, we have decided nothing and it will be a while before anything is decided. I just wanted to make you aware of the situation and let you think about it. Dismissed!" He then stood and left, leaving the vampire lords and demi-lords wondering amongst themselves.

"What are we going to do Ichigo" Rukia sighed.

"We're going to figure out what is going on" Soi Fon entered from behind.

"Sensei" Ichigo and Rukia replied.

"Ukitake, I would like permission to use your subordinates in my own investigations. May I?" she asked her old friend.

"Of course lord Fon" the sickly vampire replied.

"Good, you'll see what I'm planning soon enough" she grinned.

Ichigo and Rukia returned home late that night after the meeting, slightly distressed over the news about the ration. They went up to their bedroom and flopped down on the bed.

Now what? The artificial blood will help me a little, but real blood is what me and the baby need, and now we're being rationed even further? What are they going to do about all the pregnant vampires? This isn't nearly enough for us to survive on. Damnit!

Now what! Rukia needs real blood, as do the rest of the vampires. We're all going to lose our sanity. It's hard enough as it is! And now he wants us to reveal ourselves? Why so the humans can kill us out of some primordial fear? Damnit!

"Ichigo…." Rukia sighed.

"Hmmm?" Ichigo wondered, rolling over to face her.

"What do you thinks gonna happen? I mean the humans finding out about us? The ration? What is gonna happen to us?" she wondered. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in against his chest.

"I don't know. But don't worry Rukia. A lot has happened today, and all we can do is wait and see how everything plays out. And don't forget we already have humans who know about us, and they are perfectly alright with us. Let's just sleep and hope tomorrow is a better day. Don't forget we have school tomorrow." Rukia nodded and snuggled further into his chest.

"Goodnight Ichigo" she yawned. "I love you."

"I love you too Rukia, sleep tight" she smiled into her hair. The couple slowly drifted off to sleep. Little did they know that a certain doctor was watching through a crack in the door. He shut the door and smiled lightly.

"What could have happened today?" he asked himself as he walked down the stairs. "I guess now's as good a time as ever to go see him…" he stopped and grabbed his jacket. Opening the door the cold autumn air fluttered around him, making him shiver. "It's been 7 years… I wonder what he's been thinking this whole time…"

"Sosuke-nii!" Kai shouted as he walked into his brother-in-laws home. He looked around the large mansion and detected his demonic energy before making his way to the room. When he opened the door he saw Sosuke Aizen sitting at his desk smiling at him.

"Welcome Kai, I've been expecting you" he smiled.

"Sosuke-nii! Me and Tu are going to be parents!" Kai grinned.

"That's wonderful Kai-sama" Aizen smiled slyly. "Would you like to join me for some tea?" Kai nodded and sat down at the table, taking a sip of the tea Sosuke placed in front of him. He quickly noticed something wrong however… He was choking. He grabbed his throat, gagging.

"What…"

"You're a powerful vampire Kai….but now; you shall work with me….Ulquiorra Cifer…"

Everything went black.

Ulquiorra shot up out of bed, panting heavily, and sweat dripping from his pours. He was cold, shivering even though it was plenty warm. He grabbed his arms, trying to figure out what these dreams were.

"Ulquiorra-kun!" he heard Orihime shout from the hall. She ran into the room and turned on the light. Ulquiorra was stunned by her beauty. He hair was pulled into a lose bun, and nothing but a thin pink nightgown hung over her body. Her eyes twinkled with concern as she went to Ulquiorra's side. She kneeled down next to him, sitting on her shins. "Ulquiorra-kun, what happened? Did the dream come back?" she asked. He nodded and held his forehead with his hand.

"I don't understand what they mean. I don't remember anyone by the name Kai, I don't remember this Tu person. The only one I remember is Aizen…." He sighed. "What does it mean?" He rubbed his eyes and felt Orihime lean on his shoulder.

"I'm not sure, but it's obviously trying to tell you something important" she sighed. Ulquiorra wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in.

"Will you stay with me tonight Orihime?" he asked softly. She nodded softly.

"If it helps you sleep, I'd be more than happy Ulquiorra-kun." She kissed him lightly and she turned off the light. The couple lay in each other's arms slowly and quietly drifted into a peaceful slumber.

"I can't believe Ukitake made me go out drinking with him" Byakuya sighed, finally pulling up to his house. "Kyoraku was wasted in 20 minutes!" he sighed and got out of the car, slamming the door behind him. He rubbed his temples and walked towards the house. It had been a long day and he was still taking in all the information that they had been given at the meeting. His biggest concern was Rukia. She was a demonic princess. They needed much more blood than the average vampire, and he knew this was going to drain her. Not to mention the fact that she is still being hunted.

"I think I do need a drink" he sighed, turning on the lights in the entrance way. The house rang out in its eerie silence. Ever since Hisana's death the house had been quiet. The only other companion Byakuya had was Hisana, Rukia, and his own 3 cats, but they were probably sleeping somewhere. His footsteps echoed through the large household, captured by the plush furniture and muffled out into space. He entered his office and turned on the light, intending to get a drink. However he noticed someone sitting in his chair.

"Took you long enough to get home Byakuya" he snickered. Byakuya was initially stunned, but could only hide his small smile for so long.

"It appears you have gotten your memories back…

…

Isshin Kurosaki."
