Hollow child

Chapter 6

Rukia sat with Homura in her arms as she rocked back and forth. "Ichigo," she called out, catching the orange haired man's attention as he sat next to her rubbing his growing baby bump.

"Huh?" Ichigo asked, eyebrow rising in confusion.

"Isn't your appointment with Unohana-taichou today?"

Ichigo nibbled on his lip before something made him flinch. Looking down at his stomach, he smirked. "Bad Ringo…you're supposed to be on my side," he pouted as he rubbed his stomach.

"You okay, Ichigo?" a male voice asked, catching the younger man in surprise and then shock.

"You said my name," Ichigo choked out while Rukia was still staring at her brother in shock.

"Complain later about it. We need to head out so we're not late," Byakuya countered as he helped Ichigo stand to his feet.

Ichigo hugged Rukia. "I'll see you tomorrow and let you know what Unohana-taichou say," he said. With that, he left with Byakuya.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*

As they walked, Byakuya kept his arms freely hanging at his side and stayed as close as possible to make sure nothing happened. The walk was peaceful with no problems until they arrived at the 4th squad offices when Ichigo turned paled when an elderly man with a long beard and a taichou's hoari came into view, with a man with white hair and tan skin following behind him.

"Kuchiki-taichou, Kurosaki-taichou….how are you today?" the old man asked.

Byakuya bowed quickly before he answered. "Fine, Soutaichou." Ichigo had kept quiet as he tried to squeeze his body closer to Byakuya.

"Kurosaki-taichou doesn't look it, though," the old man said, eyeing Ichigo as the orangette's skin paled even more, hands wrapping around his stomach protectively and his remaining unfocused.

"Well, I believe it is time for us to be on our way," Byakuya said, as he tried leaving with Ichigo, but suddenly stopped when the old Soutaichou grabbed Ichigo's wrist.

"Kurosaki-taichou, answer my earlier question," the man said as an unfriendly look took over his face.

Ichigo eyes widened before his mouth started to move.

"PAINT THE WORLD IN BLOOD, YAMISORA," he screamed as two wolf-shaped beasts appeared on each side of him. Their black fur rustle in the wind and their hackles raised their hollow masks onto the opposite side of their faces.

"Yamamoto-Soutaichou, I believe you should let go of him," Byakuya stated, as the man behind him nodded in agreement.

Ichigo continued to try and free his wrist, failing to control his panic, which in turn made him unable to focus his spiritual pressure. The wolves noticed this and started to bear their fangs and claws. "RELASE MOTHER!" they growled before snapping their jaws and getting ready to attack.

Yamamoto frowned before releasing Ichigo wrist and walking away.

Byakuya release the breath he had been holding, just in time to catch Ichigo as he passed out, breathing heavily.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*

Unohana Retsu was sitting at her desk patiently, but that changed when she saw Yuzu run into her office. Just the look of panic and worry on the young girl's face was enough to make the captain jump from her chair, and follow her to the front of the Squad 4 Infirmary. She didn't like the sight that greeted her…..Byakuya standing there with an unconscious Ichigo in his arms.

"What happened?" she asked as she signaled Byakuya to follow her as she opened one of the doors on the nearby exam rooms.

Laying Ichigo down, he looked over at his fellow taichou.

"No clue. We meet Yamamoto Soutaichou on the….."

He didn't even get too finished, as the normally peaceful and cheerful face of Unohana's change to one of complete anger. "HOW DARE HE!" she snapped, as she rushed over to the bed Ichigo laid on after she gave some orders to Yuzu.

"Why does it seem like I am missing something?" Byakuya asked with concern as Unohana started to examine the unconscious male.

"At the time, you were not in the Seretei when Ichigo had returned, so it stands to seem that you would not know," she stated as Yuzu and a young boy with straight black hair came running into the room.

"I found Hanatarou," Yuzu said, pushing the boy so he was now standing next to his taichou, before he ran to the other side of the bed and started to help her with her work.

"Yuzu, explain to Kuchiki-taichou why we threatened the Head Captain," Unohana ordered before refocusing everything she had back onto Ichigo.

"Wait! You saw him today?" Yuzu asked. Her normally friendly eyes went demonic as the 6th squad taichou nodded.

"What have I missed?" Byakuya asked as Yuzu frowned.

"You know that Nii-san was sent to Hueco Muendo for six months, right?" she asked as the noble nodded. "Well, that assignment was given after Yamamoto had crossed the line."

Byakuya started to scowl. "Explain."

Yuzu started fidgeting, so Hanatarou explained for her. "He got very close to assaulting Ichigo, but luckily I had a delivery of medicine for him," he said. Looking at his captain, he could see the confused look on her face as she scanned Ichigo's stomach.

"Also for payback for resisting, he was sent on that mission," she said. Blood lust started to find a home in Byakuya's eyes, as the young girl continued. "Then when Nii-san came back, we all almost had a heart attack at his body's state. It was beyond our understanding how he could even make it back with all the damage that he had."

Byakuya smirked. "That's not surprising really that he would still make it back."

Yuzu frowned as she turned back around when Unohana sighed in relief. The baby is fine; as well as Kurosaki," she said smiling, "but I want to keep him here to make sure and also I have some questions that need to be answered."

"Any that you think I can answer?" Byakuya asked, as he walked up to the unconscious strawberry and started to rub his stomach, which held his unborn child.

"One maybe," Unohana started, as Byakuya's eyes returned to her, "was Ichigo in hollow form when you slept with him?"

Byakuya frowned as he did not understand. "No, but his hollow half as been blending into his human half," he answered still confused, but his normal stone cold mask hiding it well.

"Then that doesn't explain why the baby is half-hollow," she said, as Byakuya's eyes went wide.

Ah oh Ichigo's got some explaining to do.
