Chapter 19: June 17th

Ichigo and Rukia age 5

"Stwaberry?" the cute little raven haired girl asked her orange haired friend on their way to school.

"Don't call me stwaberry Rukia" Ichigo shouted. He was holding his mother's hand and Rukia was holding Hisana's as they all walked towards the kindergarten building.

"Shush!" she frowned. "I'm going to miss you today… Onee-chan why do I have to go to a different school?" Rukia whined to her older sister. Hisana laughed.

"Because you're a demonic princess. You have to go to the special vampire school."

"But…"

"He is different sweetie" she tried to explain. "He is one fourth vampire and doesn't need that much blood. You need to eat a few times a day and must go to a special vampire school because of it. Maybe when your older you can go to school with Ichigo" she smiled. Rukia just pouted until Ichigo kissed her cheek and grabbed her hand.

"Don't worry Rukia, I'll be there when you get out of school" he smiled. Masaki nodded.

"Ichigo's school gets out 10 minutes before yours does Rukia-chan" she smiled. "That gives us enough time to walk over to your school with Hisana and pick you up. So we can walk home together every day ok Rukia-chan? And then you and Ichi can play all night until it's time to go to sleep" she cooed.

"But vampires don't need sleep Auntie Masaki" Rukia grinned. Hisana placed a firm hand on Rukia's head and ruffled her hair. She got down in Rukia's face and grinned sorta like Yoruichi.

"Ah yes but little vampire princesses do Rukia-chan" she playfully warned. "And so do their little human boyfriends."

"Ichi isn't my boyfwiend!" Rukia blushed. Masaki and Hisana giggled, Ichigo blushed too.

"Yeah!" he added. They reached Ichigo's school and Ichigo kissed his mother goodbye. "Bye Rukia!" he grinned, waving his hand.

"Bye strawberry!" she waved back. Ichigo went into the building and Masaki went with Hisana and Rukia.

Ichigo's Class

"Class, we have a new student joining us today," his teacher shouted kindly as to be heard by the class. "His name is Ichigo Kurosaki; I hope you all make him feel right at home." Ichigo timidly smiled at the class. He had missed the first few days of school with Rukia while their families were on vacation. The only friend he really had ever had was Rukia, so he wasn't sure about how to act around the other children. He could do anything around Rukia; he was so comfortable with her. Not to mention, he couldn't say anything about the existence of vampires. "Ichigo, why don't you go play with Uryu and Renji in the sandbox?" the teacher smiled at him. He nodded and ran over to them.

"My name's Uryu!" Uryu grinned as Ichigo finally made his way to the sandbox.

"And I'm Renji!" Renji shouted making sure he was louder than Uryu.

"I'm Ichigo," Ichigo stated shyly. "Can I help you build your sandcastle?" Uryu and Renji nodded as Ichigo entered the sandbox. They looked friendly enough. Uryu was a small pale boy with shoulder length raven hair and glasses. He had a large grin on his face, matching that of his red haired companion. Renji had shoulder length red hair, held back in a ponytail almost resembling the top of a pineapple. They both had deep gray eyes, smiling happily to Ichigo. The first human children he ever played with (or so he thought). School wouldn't be as hard as he thought.

Rukia's School

Rukia was sitting alone in the corner of the school room. The rest of the vampire children wanted nothing to do with her. She was a demonic princess, a creature to be feared and respected. They held more power than most vampires could ever dream of, and could virtually bend others to their will. Rukia colored her coloring page alone, trying to fight back the tears. She had never been alone before. She had had Ichigo ever since she could remember. He was always there for her, he was her rock. She told him everything as he told her. They played together, laughed together, cried together. This new concept of loneliness was too much for her to handle. The tears started falling, making a few scattered water marks appear on her paper.

"The princess is crying" the black haired girl named Loly Mesu grinned. "The poor poor princess." The black haired girl turned to her blonde friend, who was frowning.

"Yeah, the poor lonely princess" the blonde named Menoly added. However she looked almost sadly at Rukia. Loly stood and went over to Rukia.

"Hime-san, why are you all alone?" she grinned evilly, pulling back Rukia's hair. Rukia didn't know 5 year olds could be this cynical. "What's da matter?" Rukia sniffed and looked at the blonde who came as well. The rest of the class and the teacher just watched.

"Why don't you wanna pway with me?" Rukia sniffed.

"Because daddy says demonic princesses are slutty trash who gets everything they want my just thinking about it. Well Miss Princess, you're not going to get something and I'll be sure of it!" As if to save Rukia the bell rang and school was dismissed, Rukia quickly grabbing her things and running sobbing out the door.

"Rukia-chan what happened!" Hisana gasped when Rukia ran out. She ran into her sisters arms and sobbed.

"Please don't make me go back to school Sana-nee-chan" she cried. "They were so mean to me!" She sobbed into her sister's waist, Hisana and Masaki both wearing looks of concern. Hisana got down and hugged her sister, rubbing her back comfortingly.

"Shhhh it's ok Rukia-chan" she whispered. The teacher walked up and Hisana and Masaki both shot a glare at her. Ichigo played dumb, but he knew what was going on.

"The other children don't appear to like Rukia very much" the teacher sighed. "It probably has to do with her status amongst the vampires." The other children were standing in the courtyard, happily telling their parents about their day at school. Ichigo huffed, his now famous scowl etched onto his 5 year old face as he ran into the center of the courtyard. The lone human boy standing up for his best friend.

"Why don't you guys like Rukia!" he shouted angrily. The parents and children stopped talking and turned to the boy, the obvious human smell drifting off of him.

"Masaki not all vampires are as nice as us" Hisana worried. "They can smell that he's human and he's daring to question them. There's a few in that crowd that that fact might not sit well with."

"Don't worry Hisana" Masaki sighed, a glow forming in her palm. "He's a strong boy. But if something goes wrong….I'll defend him." Hisana's eyes grew wide as a snake formed in her hand, blinking up at her master. As opposed to the usual zanpaktou's red eyes, this zanpaktou was pure white, with a pair of pink eyes looking up at her master.

"When…" Hisana started, desperately confused. Did she become a vampire?

"For some reason" Masaki stated. "A few years ago, after Ichigo was born I noticed this voice in my head. I thought maybe it was some sort of postpartum depression. But the voice wasn't depressing, it was encouraging and helpful. She then told me her name, and told me she was my zanpaktou." Hisana's eyes widened. "I knew I hadn't become a vampire, but I didn't question it. She said a number of factors contributed to her appearance, but that she has been with me since birth. I learned to manifest and train with her, and now if I need to, I will fight with her." Hisana just looked on wide eyed. For knowing Masaki for so long, there was so much she didn't know.

"Rukia is the nicest person ever!" Ichigo shouted angrily at the crowd. "She's funny, smart, and really good and hide and seek" he glared in his childish way. His face was scrunched in anger and determination. He needed to get his point across to protect his friend. "I'm human and I'm not scared of her! She's my bestest friend in the whole world! Don't be mean to her!" he shouted.

"Stupid human, don't pretend to understand our ways" a black haired man growled dangerously. "Vampire society is much too complex for someone as simple minded as your kind to comprehend! You should shut your mouth before it gets you hurt, you lowly human!"

"Oh that's right, we human's are inferior and could never understand the intricacies of vampire hierarchy could we Sir Mesu" Masaki lowly growled as she approached her son. "You are Akito Mesu, head of the Mesu family" Masaki lectured as she approached her son. "You're a family of low nobility, ranking below the Ukitake and Kira families. However you believe that you are of more importance than you are. You are constantly feuding with the Kuchiki family and therefore used the little influence that you do have to convince the other families that Rukia Kuchiki is a horrible monster. Vampire's often follow those of higher status, the flaw which humans have given up. We think for ourselves and develop our own opinions, disregarding the opinions of those around of regardless of class if we don't believe or find merit in them. You, lowly vampire think we humans know nothing? My little Ichigo is the child of the Kurosaki and Natsuame families, 2 people who have known vampires of high class nobility and status their whole lives. You say we know nothing about your world? That we have no right to criticize? Well forgive me for overstepping my boundaries than my master, but you are a pathetic lowlife brainwashing your daughter and those around you for your own personal gain and hurting an innocent little girl in the process. You truly vampire or not are the scum of the earth!" Masaki shouted. She was pissed. Not only was this man brainwashing his daughter into bullying Rukia, he had just threatened her son, and that would not go unpunished.

"Masaki" Hisana gasped. "LOOK OUT!"

"You bitch! LEARN YOUR PLACE!" he shouted, drawing his sword for attack. Masaki calmly lifted her snake, its glow making the onlookers gasp.

"Shine, Taiyo no Shugojin (guardian of the sun). The snake glowed and a burst of light shot out, and when it faded, Akito's blade was being blocked by another, a blade of a beautiful golden color. The hilt was a deep red, the guard being pure black and shaped like a blazing sun. A black tassel hung from the hilt, blowing effortlessly in the wind. The blade was curved into a semi-oval, the golden color reflecting the sunlight.

"Impossible! How can a human posses a zanpaktou!" Akito shouted.

"To protect my sun from creeps like you!" she cried. "Taiyo Furea!" she shouted. A flame suddenly appeared on her blade, consuming it, flaring and blowing, alive on the blade. "Attacking a noble is a crime punishable by death to any vampire. However, I AM NOT A VAMPIRE!" She roared as the flame shot out of the blade, hitting Akito in the face. He jumped back shouting in pain. He landed and glared at Masaki, the blood dripping from his face. He growled when he noticed something. The spot where the flame landed burned, stinging like he had been shot in the spot. But what was most noticeable was the black sun on his cheek where it hit.

"Taiyo Furea is as its name suggests; a solar flare. A burn from the sun will sting forever. The spot on your cheek represents that pain. As time goes on the spot will grow, the more you get, the more pain and the faster they grow. If the spot reaches your heart, well, even a vampire could not withstand that." Masaki grinned. "If you know what is good for you, you will cease your lies about Rukia-chan, and….more importantly, NEVER threatens my son again!"

Akito was seething, the whispers swirling around the parents about how the things they heard must have been lies.

"You bitch!" he cried, rushing again, until a hand appeared in his face, stopping him dead in his tracks.

"You're done Akito Mesu. You have lost to a human" Hisana glared. Her demonic eyes froze Akito in his tracks. "You will never spread these lies about my little sister again. You will never threaten my nephew again. And NEVER attack a human. You have proven yourself a disgrace to all vampires by attacking a human. I will be sure to file a request for the de-nobilization of your family at the next meeting."

"No you can't you damn Kuchiki!" he raised a fist.

"Bite it…" Akito's fist froze in the air, and shakily made its way towards his mouth. His mouth opened and he sank his fangs into his own hand, the blood dripping out. "We princesses do have powers of which you speak of. I can make you do worse, so I suggest that you end this futile fight now. You will turn around, take your family, go home, and never bother my family again." She ordered. He growled. "You cannot deny these orders, your body will follow them regardless of who you are and how much you fight it. Now go!" Akito suddenly turned and grabbed his wife and daughters arms, walking towards his home, growling the entire way.

"I should have told him he had to like it" Hisana laughed. She turned towards the rest of the parents. "Please, do not believe whatever lies he was spreading. Rukia-chan is a sweet girl, right Ichi-kun?" she smiled.

"Yeah Auntie Hisana!" he grinned.

"Let's go home" Masaki groaned. "I need a nap…"

"You kicked his ass mommy!" Ichigo smiled.

"Who the hell taught you that word!" Masaki gaped.

"You and daddy did!" he smiled. Hisana burst out laughing as Masaki blushed.

"Never use it again!" she stuck her tongue out at him. She grabbed her son's hand and they started home. However Ichigo abruptly stopped and turned around. He ran to Rukia before stopping and grabbing her hand.

"Come on Rukia let's go home!"

7 years ago

"Come on Rukia let's go!" Ichigo shouted down the hallway of the Kuchiki manor. He was definitely older now, but he was still a child.

"I'm coming Strawberry hold your horses!" Rukia shouted as she through her jacket on. The beautiful raven haired 9 year old ran down the hallway, her yellow sundress flowing in the wind behind her. Ichigo smiled at the sight of his best friend. She reached him and they walked into the kitchen, where Byakuya and Hisana were in conversation with Isshin and Masaki. Karin and Yuzu were playing with the cats, keeping themselves entertained.

"That's so wonderful Hisana!" Masaki cooed. "I'm glad you and Byakuya can finally have your own child!" Hisana blushed and giggled, taking a sip of her tea.

"Thank you Masaki" Hisana and her happy husband smiled softly.

"Hey Masaki maybe me and you should give their kid a frien OMPH!" Isshin shouted as Masaki angrily elbowed him in the stomach, making him fall over to the floor.

"Not even" Masaki growled. Hisana laughed and gave Masaki a high five.

"Smooth" Byakuya whispered to his long time friend lying on the floor, trying to stifle a laugh. Isshin stuck his tongue out at Byakuya and got up.

"Mama, Daddy" Ichigo asked in his cute little boy voice. His parents looked at him, and smiled when they noticed him holding Rukia's hand. "Can me and Rukia go to the park and play?" he asked sweetly.

"I don't know sweetie, Hisana, Byakuya-kun, can Ichigo-kun take Rukia-chan on a little date?" Masaki giggled.

"Dating my sister is a very big responsibility Ichigo-kun" Byakuya tried to hide a smile as he sipped his tea.

"It's not a date uncle Byakuya!" Ichigo blushed.

"Me and Ichi just wanna go play at the park!" Rukia added. The adults laughed.

"Ok Ichigo-kun, you can take Ruki-chan on a date, but you have to take care of her and make sure she's home by 7 o'clock for dinner okay?" Hisana warned with a smile.

"Okay auntie Hisana" Ichigo grinned. "Come on Rukia let's go!" Ichigo kissed his mom and dad, Rukia kissing her sister and brother-and-law. He grabbed her hand and they ran out the door quickly.

"I'm thinking grandkids at 17" Isshin laughed, until Masaki elbowed him again.

"What if they do wind up falling in love, how cute would that be" Hisana grinned.

"If he ends up anything like Isshin he's not going near her" Byakuya smirked.

"Hey now!" Isshin shouted.

"I almost wonder if it will be more a brother sister thing, they've been around each other forever, and I don't foresee that changing in the future. They might think it's weird to fall in love" Masaki wondered.

"I doubt it. Those two already love each other, they are just too young to know it. We'll be sending them down the aisle one day… They complete each other with so little effort. I can foresee it; Ichigo is going to be a wonderful young man, and Rukia a strong young woman. Even if something tears them apart, they will find a way back to each other" Byakuya took another sip of his tea.

"You make it sound like something bad is going to happen to them" Isshin sighed.

"Always prepare for the worst Isshin…"

"Push me higher Ichi" Rukia giggled as she swung on the swing set. Ichigo laughed in response and pushed her as hard as he could, sending her extremely high. She shouted in excitement as the swing took her up into the sky. Ichigo laughed and ran to the front.

"Kay Rukia now try to fly!" Ichigo shouted. Rukia had been trying to "fly" like the older vampires could for a few months, but had always failed at it, causing a few scraps. Ichigo would always try to catch her, but she'd always fly farther than his human legs could take him. She would heal in a few minutes, but it never made Ichigo feel any better.

"Ok" she shouts. She gets to the top of the swing and jumps off, trying to balance the demonic energy in the air underneath her. She fell and fell, Ichigo running trying to get underneath her.

"You can do it Rukia!" Ichigo shouted. Rukia grew determined and forced the demonic partials under her together, creating a platform for her to land on. She landed and looked around smiling.

"I did it Ichi!" she cried, standing on the platform and smiling down at him proudly.

"HORRAY!" Ichigo threw his hands up in the air. However the platform under Rukia began to crumble and she soon fell. Ichigo wasn't about to let her fall this time, and jumped up, intercepting her and catching her. They crashed down to the ground together, him taking the brunt of the force.

"Ichi are you ok?" Rukia asked concerned, not getting off of Ichigo.

"Are you ok?" Ichigo asked Rukia. She sighed and smiled.

"I'm fine."

"Than so am I" he grinned. She sighed again, then punched him in the head.

"Baka" she laughed. She sat there on top of him for a while, and eventually laid down, resting her head on his chest. "Ichi…."

"Yeah?"

"If something bad happened to me, would you save me?" she asked sincerely.

"Baka of course I would!" Ichigo smiled, wrapping an arm around Rukia. "I'd do anything for you Rukia. You're my best friend!" Rukia blushed.

"Thanks Ichi." She laid there for a while in his arms. Even though they were only 9, there was an unbreakable bond holding these two together. A human and a demon princess, two species who were never meant to meet, falling in love early in their youth. They were too young to realize it, but that's what they were. They knew they would be together forever, neither could imagine life without the either.

"You know the Kuchiki elders will never approve of this marriage" Isshin sighed as he and Byakuya watched them from behind a bush.

"If it makes Rukia happy….screw the Kuchiki elders" Byakuya grinned. Isshin tried not to burst out laughing at the statement. Suddenly Rukia jumped up and pulled up Ichigo.

"Ichigo! Let's go play in the sandbox!" Rukia shouted with glee.

"But I'll get sand in my pants!" Ichigo whined. He hated playing in the sandbox because it always seemed to get stuck in his pants.

"You need to grow up and be a man strawberry. You're 9 years old for petes sake!" Rukia huffed in that childlike way of hers.

"Shut Up!" Ichigo blushed.

"You know what Ichigo?" Rukia suddenly smiled.

"What?"

"We should get married!" She glowed.

"But we're only 9 …." Ichigo added.

"So?" she asked as though it didn't matter.

"We should wait till we're older" he suggested.

"Ok then. How old?" she smiled.

"I don't know. What's a big number?"

"Well…how about…..umm…16? That's a big number." She grinned.

"Ok, we'll get married when we're 16!" he exclaimed.

"7 years! That's so long!" she groaned.

"It's not that long; it will go by so fast. I promise…" Ichigo kissed her cheek.

"You know Byakuya, brides family pays for the wedding" Isshin grinned.

3 weeks later

"Little bunny Fufu hoppin through the forest, scoopin up the field mice and boppin um on the head" Rukia sang. Ichigo then promptly bopped her on the head.

"Owwww! Strawberry!" Rukia growled.

"What?" Ichigo laughed.

"Play nice you two" Hisana scolded. "This is the river bad things have been happening at lately we need to be careful."

"Isn't this the river where Uryu's mom died?" Ichigo asked. Masaki nodded.

"Apparently a bad vampire attacked her. I wonder if his family knows that?"

"The Ishida family has a long standing history as hunters, I'm sure they know Masaki" Hisana sighed. "I'm more worried about them hunting us all down than the vampire himself." Masaki nodded. The rain was starting to come down softly, Masaki and Hisana both pulling out umbrella's.

"Here sweetie we better get…" Masaki stopped when she sensed something wrong. A motherly instinct that something was going to happen. Her sense was confirmed when Hisana screamed.

"RUN!" the princess shouted, before a giant tentacle pierced her stomach. She coughed up blood, realizing she wouldn't die from the injury….but "my baby…." She gasped. Masaki turned and growled.

"Run kids! Now Shine! Taiyo no Shugojin!" The golden blade formed and Masaki slashed off the tentacle, Hisana falling to the floor gasping for air. "Hisana are you alright!" Masaki gasped.

"Run you fool!" Hisana coughed. But it was too late. Masaki didn't have the senses that Hisana did, and never anticipated the giant claw running her through. She looked down and coughed. The claw was sticking out through her chest, the claws twitching as the red blood and tissues slid off in the pounding rain, making a sickening plop as they splattered onto the wet pavement. The flashes of lightning the only thing allowing Masaki to see.

"Mama!" Ichigo shouted.

"Run Ichigo now!" Masaki demanded in a raspy voice, the rain coming down harder. She was trying not to lose consciousness as the claw was ripped out from behind and the bleeding increased, pouring over her shirt, staining it red.

"F..ly" Hisana started. "Tsuki no Shugo-Sha" (Guardian of the moon). Hisana's zanpaktou started to form, pure silver, almost glittering. But before she could do anything.

"ONEE-CHAN!" Rukia screamed, as she watched her sister's heart be torn out of her body. The tentacle had wrapped around her, preventing her escape as it ripped her heart out. The still beating organ pulsated as Hisana's eyes went dark. The powerful princess Hisana Kuchiki had been killed almost effortlessly. The heart remained beating as Hisana's body fell limp, as a slimy creature appeared in thin air and devoured her body, her heart beating in its grasp until the body was gone, then it was stored in a pouch of hair on the side of its body.

"HISANA!" Masaki cried. "You bastard!" she shouted at the monster.

"Hmmm, all these women so delicious have been coming here lately. How do you not expect me to attack?" the beast snickered. The monster roared and launched itself at Masaki, she lifting her sword in a weak defiance.

"I have to do something!" Rukia cried. "DANCE! SODE" she stopped when she felt an arm wrap around her.

"Please Rukia don't!" Ichigo begged. "I don't wanna lose you!" he almost cried.

"Ichi…" Rukia did start crying. Ichigo screamed as he watched mother get slashed across the chest, the blood splattering everywhere, its thickness making it easily distinguishable from the rain. She fell to the ground, staring at Ichigo and Rukia.

"Ichi…Ruki…" she weakly coughed. "Stay together…..always…." she coughed again. "I…..love…" she never finished the sentence. In horror, the two nine year olds watched as her head was slowly ripped apart from her body. The skin stretching and finally snapping along with her spine until it was sloppily removed. Masaki's cold lifeless eyes continued to stare at them, the blood spurting out from the wound bathing the sidewalk in the red liquid. The hollow laughed and slowly and deliberately devoured her, ripping out the heart and storing it in the same pouch as Hisana's.

"MAMA!" Ichi screamed. His legs were trembling in anger, sadness and fear as the hollow turned towards them, snickering with a deadly smile.

"Lord Aizen told me I had to kill the women and the boy" the hollow grinned. "ALRIGHT!" the hollow shouted. He lunged towards them, knocking Rukia who tried to release her zanpaktou again away, causing her to hit a tree, her zanpaktou flying from her hands. She was knocked out and the hollow stared down Ichigo. "You will die human boy!" the hollow shouted.

"No…..I will protect Rukia like I have always done!" he shouted. The hollow ran him through, but he grabbed the tentacle weakly. "I will….I will…." The hollow threw Ichigo away, landing right next to the discarded sword. Rukia had learned how to release it recently, but hadn't had a chance tonight, both attempts thwarted. Ichigo weakly reached out and grabbed her sword, standing as the hollow inched towards him, like a lion stalking a gazelle. He shakily raised the sword, the blood dripping from his wound as he faced the hollow with increased determination.

Ichigo…. Your own powers are beginning to awaken. Your heart and love of lady Rukia along with your own powers, release me and fight Ichigo!

"Now Dance! Sode no Shirayuki!" Ichigo screamed. It was half the inner voice and half his watching Rukia before, but the flawless command released the sword, the pure white blade glistening in the lightning, the tassel flowing behind him in the wind.

Listen to me Ichigo

"Tsugi No Mai…. HAKUREN!" A white wave flooded foreword, surprising the hollow and encasing him in a solid sheet of ice. Ichigo planted the sword firmly in the ground and leaned heavily on it. The demonic energy that he did possess was basically drained in the attack, and the stress had only served to make the wound worse. The sword fell out of his hands, but the energy from it continued to surround him, trying to heal his wounds. Rukia's eyes began to flutter open, seeing Ichigo bleeding, and the hollow encased in ice.

"Ichi…" she groaned, until the ice began to crack. "ICHIGO!" she screamed.

"Scatter….Senbonzakura" a stoic voice commanded. Suddenly thousands of sakura blossoms flew forward as the ice shattered. They surrounded the beast, who was roaring in pain. Rukia found the strength to run to Ichigo, collapsing at his side, sobbing.

"Ichigo!" she shouted, shaking him fervoursly. The rain splashed from his hair to the ground, but his eyes remained closed.

"Ichigo!" she screamed again. There was still no response.

"ICHIGO! PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!" she sobbed, bringing her head down to rest on his bloodied chest.

"Ichigo! Ichigo! You're the only friend I've ever had, please don't leave me ICHIGO! This thing took my sister, and it took your mother, I WON'T LET IT TAKE YOU!" She continued to cry and shout as some of Ichigo's blood touched her lips. The taste reminded her of what she could do. She quickly removed his shirt, staring at his bare and pale neck. She had never drank the blood of a human, let alone what she was about to do. She licked her fangs and lowered her mouth towards his neck, then quickly sinking her fangs into his neck. However, instead of lapping up the blood that started flowing out, she injected her own venom and blood. Injecting just the venom would transform a human into a vampire. Injecting blood would poison the human to death. However, the mixture of the two would grant temporary vampire powers, more importantly, temporary vampire healing powers. She lifted her head, his blood mixed with hers dripping from her fangs. She could tell it was working, as his wound was already healing.

Rukia jumped when she felt a wet hand touch her shoulder. She turned to see her older brother looking at the orange haired boy with sad eyes.

"He got away Rukia…." His eyes teared. "I am so sorry that I failed you…"

"It's not your fault nii-sama" Rukia sniffed. "I wasn't strong enough…" Byakuya bent down and tightly embraced Rukia, the last living member of his once perfect family. He knew he needed to get Ichigo to Isshin quickly. He let go of Rukia, who grabbed her snake, and gently lifted a still injured Ichigo. The rain blended with his own tears as he watched the two children he loved fall apart. He then grabbed Rukia and shunpoed off towards the Kurosaki clinic.

"It's not your fault Byakuya" Isshin tried to comfort, fighting off his own tears as they sat in the waiting room in the clinic. Isshin had done everything he could for his son, and know all they could do is wait for the vampire healing to wake him up. Rukia refused to leave the room, clasping onto Ichigo's hand for dear life, promising to tell them when he woke up.

"I should have sensed it earlier; I should have gotten there sooner!" Byakuya was extremely distraught. "Not only did I fail Masaki and Hisana, I failed you Isshin….I failed my and Hisana's unborn child, I failed Ichigo and Rukia, who had to stand by and watch their mother figures die in front of them. I don't deserve to be called a father….I don't deserve to be ruler of so many…I failed…" Byakuya was holding his head, his wide eyes staring at the floor. "Their gone…. I can't do anything… I will never hold Hisana in my arms again… never read bedtime stories to Rukia with her again…I will never hold our child…your children will be without their mother… unable to see her smiling face… I failed everyone damnit!" he shouted. Suddenly however he felt a painful jolt in the side of his head, falling to the ground. His head throbbed as he looked up to see Isshin holding out his fist where his face once was. Isshin's eyes were full of tears as he glared at Byakuya.

"I said it isn't your fault idiot!" he shouted. "There wasn't anything more you could have done! Don't play the what if game, don't think that if you did anything differently, replay your life trying to figure out what you could have done to save them. You can't turn back time and what's done is done" Isshin shouted. He lifted a shaking finger and pointed in the room where Ichigo was.

"All I know is that we have two motherless children in that room who need us now more than ever. And we have to protect them and help them in every way we can." Byakuya looked up at his long time friend and nodded, getting up and wiping the imaginary duct on his pants.

"I know what to do…" Byakuya looked away.

"What's that…" Isshin cocked his head.

"Erase their memories of the event." Isshin looked at him with big eyes. "We can make them forget witnessing it, and tell them that the girls were in an accident. The trauma of witnessing such a thing…"

"Maybe that would be the best for them…" Isshin nodded. The door then opened and Rukia rushed out.

"Ichi is awake!" she shouted. Isshin ran in with Rukia to his son's side. Byakuya slowly approached the door, pulling out a memory replacer from his pocket.

"Byakuya he's alright!" Isshin smiled, turning towards the door.

"I am….sorry Isshin" Byakuya choked, shutting his eyes and pressing the button, creating a giant explosion of light. Isshin, Rukia and Ichigo into unconsciousness.

"Forget about our world Isshin….we have brought you to much pain and suffering. Rukia will forget all of you, and you will forget us. The world of humans and vampires should never cross, and I am only too sorry that I realized it so late.." he choked again as he lifted Rukia off the floor. "You will not forget Masaki, but you will forget us." He bent down and kissed Isshin softly on the top of his head. "Goodbye….Kurosaki."

Ichigo and Isshin woke up the next morning with no memory of the vampires. They thought Masaki had died in a car accident and Ichigo was with her in the car. Rukia woke up the next morning, also with no memories of the boy who had been her best friend for 9 years. Byakuya was depressed for some time, but remembered that he still had to raise Rukia and did so to the best of his ability. Little did they know that what Rukia did by giving Ichigo her blood and venom, would spark a chain of events that would not only bring the two lovers back together, but change his life forever. Awakening his own powers and mixing them with her own, a pureblooded vampire being born from the blood hidden in him for centuries.

Present

"Isshin…" Byakuya started as he took a seat across from Isshin. "I'm…"

"Why did you do it?" Isshin sighed. "We were best friends…more than that for a while" he weakly laughed.

"I thought I told you never to speak of that again" Byakuya lightly chuckled.

"And I thought you trusted me" Isshin glared. "We were best friends Byakuya…what on earth made you think that my life would be easier and better without you…that Ichigo's life would be better without you…what on earth possessed you to think that!" Isshin barked. Byakuya looked down and sighed.

"I thought that forgetting about us would make your lives easier. Our world brought you so much pain…I found that the best way to atone for that" Byakuya sighed. Isshin stood and slowly made his way towards Byakuya, staring him down in the eye the entire time.

"You think that making Ichigo and Rukia lose their best friend after the death of their 'mothers' would make things easier?" he asked coldly, still walking towards a stunned Byakuya. "Did you think that leaving us alone would make it easier, forgetting the people we've known our whole lives!" he shouted a little louder. He reached and looked at him with a forceful sigh.

"Did you think forgetting my best friend would make things easier?" Byakuya stared at him with wide eyes, before sighing and breaking down.

"Your right, I'm sorry. It was a stupid selfish decision on my part…can you forgive me?" he sighed. Isshin smiled and hugged him.

"Of course…but you know your acting really OOC again" Isshin laughed.

"Shut up" Byakuya returned the hug. They separated and sat down, Byakuya pouring some tea.

"There was a reason I sent Rukia to live with Ichigo. I never would have sent him to live with a random stranger like that" Byakuya began.

"I didn't think anything of it, but then my memories came back and I realized she was the same Rukia. I have to say Byakuya I'm really happy for them. Maybe things will go better for them. They will remember eventually if I did. What are you expecting in terms of reaction?" Isshin raised an eyebrow.

"I'm expecting your son will….. 'go bankai on my ass'" Byakuya sighed, sending Isshin into a fit of laughter.

The Next Morning

Ichigo and Rukia stretched as the sunlight poured into the room, waking the sleeping couple from their slumber. They were both still exhausted from lack of 'food' but they would manage…for now. Rukia got out of bed and yawned, giving a weak smile at Ichigo.

"Mornin" she smiled.

"Mornin" he returned. He got up and hugged her from behind, kissing her neck. "You wanna shower first?" he asked.

"Look at you being all polite today" she teased. "Kay, I'll be out in a bit." She kissed him quickly and left the room. Ichigo sighed and laid back down in the bed with a sigh.

"I wonder how long we can keep this a secret" he sighed to himself, rolling over and looking out the window. He then heard someone opening the door and thought it was Rukia, until he realized it wasn't her scent.

"Ichi-nii" he heard Karin's unmistakable voice ask. He rolled over and faced the door, looking the 12 year old girl in the face. She was standing in the doorway, almost cowering behind the side. However, she was looking him straight in the eye.

"This is stupid Ichi-nii…we need to talk today" she almost demanded. He huffed and smiled at her.

"That's pretty accurate I'd say" he laughed.

"After school?" she asked.

"Hmmm" he nodded.

"Oh hello Karin" Rukia smiled, seeing the two siblings at least talking.

"Hello Rukia-nee" Karin turned and smiled, seeing Rukia wet in her towel. She raised an eyebrow and smirked at Ichigo. "Am I interrupting something?" she asked devilishly.

"Well, it's not like it would cause anything that hadn't already happened" Rukia sighed, causing Karin to spit out the imaginary drink she was drinking.

"Wait….your…"

"We'll fill you in after school Karin" Ichigo sighed.

5th Clan's Mansion

The giant double doors clanged shut, symbolizing the start of the meeting. The part of the mansion cut off to anyone other than Lord Aizen and those he saw fit to enter, namely Ichimaru and Tosen.

The room was more like a giant meeting hall, the only noticeable color being white. 11 chairs were placed around the giant white table, but only 10 of them were occupied. At the front of the table was a bored looking man, appearing to be in his late 20's with shoulder length brown hair. There was an angry looking old man with various scars running across his face. A darker woman with a very large chest, only partially covered by her jacket which did cover her mouth sat next to him. Her hair was a beautiful sandy blonde, and she looked as angry as the old man sitting next to her. There was an empty chair, where the former 4th used to sit. Then there was a man resembling a spoon, long black hair and a crazed expression on his face. He was Nnoitra Jiruga, one of the ones who attacked Renji and Tatsuki. The blue haired man named Grimmjow sat across from him, the one who had attacked Rukia and Karin. There was another dark man, bald with spikes on his head, looking like he was meditating. A pink haired man sat across from him was a pink haired man, pushing his glasses up his nose with a creepy smile capturing his face. Next to him were two figures, faces hidden by masks. They sat side by side, arms crossed, completely silent. They were the 9th espada. The 10th sat across from them, a big tanned man who looked pissed and hungry with a ponytail coming out of the back of his head. The 9 of the 10 espada that were left.

In the front of the hall were 3 chairs, one closer to the table than the other two. In the back two sat Lord Gin Ichimaru of the 3rd clan, in the other Lord Kaname Tosen of the 9th clan. And in the middle chair, sat their leader; Lord of the 5th clan, Sosuke Aizen.

"Welcome my espada" he stated in the cool calm way he does. "How are you all on this fine morning?"

"It's too early damnit" The first man, the bored looking one yawned.

"Shut up Stark, maybe if you went to bed at a normal hour you wouldn't be as tired all the time" the old man groaned.

"But I'm nocturnal" Stark yawned again.

"I'm peachy thanks for asking" the large chested women sarcastically remarked, checking her finger nails.

"Always so sarcastic eh Tia?" Nnoitra grinned.

"I'd shut your mouth before I shut it for you" Tia Harribel glared.

"Awww, just because mommy and daddy don't love you doesn't mean you have to take it out on all of us Harribel" Grimmjow smirked.

"I'm going to rip your throat out in about 30 seconds!" Tia roared as she stood.

"That's enough Harribel" Aizen calmly ordered. Tia growled again before looking at Aizen and submitting, sitting back down in her seat. "Tia you seem to be very angry lately….how about we let you get your revenge?" Aizen grinned.

"I'm listening" Tia turned.

"You're mother and father abandoned you on the streets because your being an arrancar. They hated you and left you to die. How would you like them to suffer they fate they thought was meant for you. They would come face to face with the baby they left for dead 13 years ago" Aizen grinned. "I know where they live. How does that sound?" he raised an eye brow.

"Where do I sign up?" she glared. Aizen smirked.

"One week from today." Tia nodded.

"As for the rest of you. You know that the ration was strengthened this week. The vampires will be getting weaker and weaker. Soon, our plan will be set in motion."

"And what exactly is your plan Lord Aizen?" One of the 9th spoke in a soft but demanding feminine voice.

"Well, as we know Rukia Kuchiki is the last living Demonic Princess. The ancient vampire prophecy says that the last princess will produce the most powerful child the vampire world has ever known. I want to ensure that that child is mine" he smirked.

"So why did you try to have her killed?" The other 9th spoke, also female.

"To see if she was worthy of having my child. Her survival means that she will be suitable. If she has a child that is against us, we will all die eventually."

"Now Aizen-sama" Gin spoke up. "There is still the question of who will fill the hole left by Ulquiorra's betrayal?" he grinned.

"That has been taken care of" Aizen grinned. "You may come in now." The double doors opened, revealing a small frame standing in the doorway, an angry look on her face. Her hair was dark, pulled back in a bun, which was the remnants of her hollow mask, growing out like a crown or tree branches almost.

"I hope I prove useful to the espada Lord Aizen" she bowed.

"Welcome….Momo Hinamori."
