Further Complications of Self Discovery

 

Rishou had a handle on his newly emerged yoki and his father was talking to him as an adult and not a child. His brothers were all in the Den Aqua Lounge having their weekly get together. He looked around at Zihao, Shinobu, Judafre, Asher, Jouichi, Osami, Kenji, Ang Chi, and Katsu. They all raised their glasses and downed their shots. The twins were speaking in Egyptian and the others were talking animatedly. It had been several weeks since the last appearance of the green eyed Arrancar and he found himself relieved and disappointed at the same time. He laughed as his oldest brother was telling of his mate's latest antics and Kenji sat next to him.

 

“Are you okay?” he asked.

 

“Yeah! I am fine Ken. No worries brother.” He said tipping back another shot.

 

“We all have been worried for you. You are the baby of us males.” Kenji said in mock sweetness.

 

“A fact that none of you let me forget I assure you. Do you think chichi favors the girls over us?” Rishou asked.

 

“I used to think that Rish but I have learned that he has a soft spot for them. They were always better at manipulating him then we were. He does not favor them as much as pamper them. He treated the girls better then he did haha at times.” Kenji said sitting back.

 

Rishou looked at his older brother who looked a little like their father but had the gold-brown eyes of their mother and their sire's wavy black hair. Kenji was serious in nature and was a curator of a history museum in Kyoto. His twin Iyo was every inch a child of Lord Ishin. She was a firebrand of a lawyer and quite the success. The two still shared a house in Kyoto and the apartment in Tokyo. Kenji was mated to a quiet kumo onna named Eriko. Iyo was still single and best friends with her sister in law. He sighed and the brothers managed to drink themselves quite silly and they started to break up their get together. Within the lounge they could come and go as youkai. Naraku had taken on the surname Matsuda and Ishin had taken on the surname Yamasaki as well as Nobu.

 

Rishou walked back with Kenji and they made it to the apartment building that their family owned. The Matsuda-Yamasaki Corporation had set up havens for all manner of youkai all over the world. To the ningen world they were a multi-national multi media corporation but in the youkai world they were creators and preservers of the youkai heritage. He made it to his apartment and opened the door with his key. He threw his wallet and other things on his dresser and went to take a shower. He stood under the almost scalding water and finally exited the stall. He wrapped a towel around his hips and walked into his kitchen. He heard a knock on his door and he moved to look in the peep hole. He was surprised to see his ex-girlfriend from the peep hole. He opened the door and Seina glided in. She was a tall ningen with long brown hair and very light brown eyes. She was a model and quite stunning.

 

“I am tired of waiting on you to call me back so I have decided to make the decision for you.” She said with a hand on her hip.

 

“Well then.” He said smirking.

 

She opened her short trench coat and revealed lightly tanned skin and full breasts.

 

“Ready to come back to your senses?” she asked.

 

“Hai. Most definitely.” He said grinning.

 

She moved to him and they ended up against the wall and then the floor. He felt relief as he gloried in her feel. He felt like himself again and they ended up on his suede sectional fast asleep. He still could not get the green eyes out of his mind but he was more then thrilled to have his sassy onna back in his life. He stared up at the ceiling as his hand went through her hair. His world seemed to make sense again.

Asuna was more then tired and she wore the amulet that allowed her into Soul Society around her neck. Yuzuna and Saaya wore them as well so that they could move back and forth between that plane and this one. She had purchased a large house on the coast not more then ten miles from Karakura Town. Unbeknownst to Ichigo, his name was on the deed as well. It was known only to her and her shinigami. She looked at the clock on her desk and stood. She stretched and moved to the mirror on the back of her door. She lifted her fitted purple button down shirt and stared at her belly. She sighed and knew there would be no way to keep it a secret much longer. She had sworn Shinobu to secrecy and he had done an ultra sound. She had stared at a very tiny being on the screen and she was filled with joy and worry. She ported to her old style house on the shore and she went to her room. She dropped her purse on the dresser and she was grabbed. Ichigo turned her around and she smiled at him.

 

“Hello Kurosaki-san.” She said teasingly.

 

“Sensei.” He said slowly unbuttoning her shirt.

 

“You have an insatiable apatite Ichigo.” She said smiling.

 

“Hai I do. How can I help it when you are so damn sexy?” he asked.

 

“Well thank you my beautiful one.” She purred in his ear.

 

“Do you wanna spar?” he asked.

 

“I am tired Ichigo. Come to bed with me.” She implored him.

 

“You okay? You have been sleeping a lot more.” He said rubbing his head.

 

“I am fine Ichigo. No worries remember?” she said lifting his long sleeve shirt off of him.

 

“You think I would turn you down? Come on.” He said pulling her into their bed.

 

She laughed as he pushed her back in the softness of the bed. She held him at bay and she rolled over to her side and opened the night stand drawer. She pulled out some paperwork and handed it to him. He looked curious and took it from her and flopped on his back. He began reading and he gasped.

 

“Are you serious?” he asked shocked.

 

“Hai.” She said grinning.

 

“Good Kamis! This whole place? I co-own this whole place?” he asked sitting up.

 

“Hai.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“Why would you do that?” he asked pressing his body to hers.

 

“Consider this my mating gift to you.” She said lightly.

 

“Really? So instead of a toaster I get a house?” he teased.

 

“Hai.” She stated amused.

 

“Well once again this is really cool. I am gonna go patrol and you get some sleep.” He said leaning over and slowly kissing her.

 

She responded to his soft caress and lust stirred in her. Her fingers went to his khaki pants and unbuttoned them. He sucked her bottom lip and undid her pants as well. They ended up making love several times before she passed out. He looked down at her from his shinigami form and he was madly in love with her. He knew logically that it was a weird and strange thing but he could not help it. He was not a normal ningen anyway. He kissed her forehead and went on about his patrolling. He kept his thoughts on killing the hollows and not on being with her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rishou woke up with a start and felt the presence that he had dreaded and wanted in his apartment. Seina slept as he slipped from the bed. He walked into the living room and there stood the unearthly creature with his hands in his pockets. Rishou circled around and blank eyes stared at him.

 

“Where have you been?” he asked.

 

“My duty.” The Arrancar stated.

 

“What are you doing here?” Rishou asked.

 

“Your call.” He said in no tone.

 

“Do you feel? I mean you do not show hardly anything.” Rishou commented.

 

“Do you?” Ulquiorra said in his toneless voice.

 

“You say I call and you are compelled to come but why? You say you do not care but yet you are here.” Rishou asked.

 

His green eyes stared at him and Ulquiorra cocked his head. Rishou stared back and he was compelled to see something reflected in the eyes.

 

“Unsure.” The Arrancar answered.

 

“Not much of a talker are you?” the youkai asked.

 

He did not answer and Rishou moved closer. He was more curious then anything and he pressed his hand below the hollow hole. Ulquiorra hissed softly and Rishou somehow knew he craved the heat. He stepped back and watched him.

 

“This Hueco Mundo is a cold place?” he asked.

 

“Hai.” Came his reply.

 

“What are you feeling?” Rishou demanded.

 

“Hunger.” He answered.

 

“What is a hollow exactly?” the younger asked.

 

“Starved soul.” Ulquiorra answered.

 

He barely touched the Arrancar and produced his miasma cloud and pulled them in. They reappeared in his other apartment across town. Ulquiorra looked around with what appeared no interest. Rishou had no clear clue why he had ported here.

 

“What are you feeling?” Rishou demanded again.

 

“Hunger.” He answered.

 

“For what? You want to devour my soul?” Rishou asked standing right in front of the emotionless one.

 

“No.” Ulquiorra said.

 

“Why do I supposedly call you?” he asked trying to understand.

 

“You do not know yourself.” Ulquiorra stated meeting his eyes.

 

“So you coming here is some sort of cosmic thing? You are not mortal or even youkai for that matter. Soul Society has no clue what the hell you are.” Rishou snapped.

 

“Warned you about shinigami. You tie yourself to them and I will have to destroy you.” The Arrancar said in uncharacteristically long words.

 

“I do not want to have anything to do with the shinigami as I have a nice and normal existence. You are messing that up.” Rishou said glaring.

 

Ulquiorra moved suddenly and pushed him backwards. He leaned down and stared into Rishou's face.

 

“You do not see truth. You see only this world and not all realities. I will make you see if I have to force it upon you.” The Arrancar said in his chilly tone.

 

“What am I missing?” Rishou demanded.

 

“Much.” He replied.

 

“You speak in the cryptic you asshole! I am nothing in the grand scheme of things. I am not my father nor my mother or hell even my siblings.” He yelled.

 

“More than that.” Ulquiorra said in a husky tone.

 

“You said before that it has nothing to do with sex but souls. What did you mean?” Rishou demanded.

 

“This is tiresome.” He replied.

 

“I will not lie and I am drawn to you for some reason but I am very attracted to onna thank you very much.” Rishou stated emphatically.

 

“The male or female does not matter.” Ulquiorra said in a toneless whisper.

 

“That is what your saying. Kamis this is fucked up.” Rishou said suddenly.

 

The other's green eyes blankly stared at him and Rishou suddenly got it. His father's soul had been drawn to his mother's and that was what this creature was telling him. He was telling him that their souls were drawn toward each other. Ulquiorra was impatient and pressed his cold hands to Rishou's bare chest. Rishou hissed at the cold and put his own over the Arrancar's pale ones.

 

“What do you want?” Rishou asked.

 

“This hunger is unbearable.” He answered.

 

Rishou could not believe what the hell was going on and touched the Arrancar's face. There was no emotion reflected but he knew that was not true.

 

“I am not ready for anything right now.” Rishou said breathlessly.

 

“The hunger is unbearable.” Ulquiorra stated in a slightly louder tone.

 

“That is great and all but I have a girlfriend that I am in love with and she would flip.” Rishou retorted.

 

He saw anger reflected and jealousy as well. He raised a brow and Ulquiorra looked for a moment ready to strike. This being was a predator but it was disguised by his chilly and analytical manners.

 

“Your heat is needed. The hunger consumes.” He stated flatly.

 

Rishou tried to push him back but the Arrancar was suddenly and brutally attacking his mouth. Foreign and forbidden things erupted in his gut as he felt the cold flesh against his. Ulquiorra would not stop his assault and his nails were digging into his neck and side. The hollow being was acting starved and it WAS consuming. Rishou ripped his mouth away.

 

“I will not be your plaything!” he roared.

 

“You deny half, why?” Ulquiorra demanded.

 

“You seek to dominate and I am not a fucking object!” he growled.

 

“This hunger is unbearable!” the Arrancar said in sudden anger.

 

“You will not force me again Arrancar. I am not a toy for you to take out and play with when you feel hungry so to speak. I have no idea what you eat but it sounds like you need to gorge.” Rishou sneered.

 

The pallid man undid his white jacket and threw it from him. Rishou saw a four tattooed on his right pectoral and saw his lean but defined belly. This creature was the only male he ever looked at this way. He was reviled and almost needy at the same time.

 

“You take then.” Ulquiorra stated.

 

“What?” Rishou said dumbfounded.

 

“The ache is unbearable.” He said in a harsher tone.

 

Rishou almost lost his mind. He quit thinking and fell upon the frigid male and pressed him back this time. He wondered if he gave into his fascination then it would go away. He knew he was too much like his mother. She always took what and who she wanted. He decided to do the same as the Arrancar had done to him and he stripped him of his pants. There was no anything but the draw and the need; he was more mindful of the discomfort and took time to make sure it would not hurt. There was a part of him that cried out that this was not him and he just did not heed. He joined them and the feeling was intense as he moved. The Arrancar moaned out and he found the feeling of power almost too much to think about. Ulquiorra dragged his fingernails down his chest and the heat was making him feel too much. He wrapped his hand around his partner's member and stroked as he moved. They were both caught up in the moment and the Arrancar groaned out loudly as he succumbed and Rishou joined him a moment later. He was breathing rapidly and it shocked him how it had been. He watched the pale man close his eyes and he seemed serene.

 

“Why are you here?” Rishou demanded.

 

“Gathering information on trash.” He admitted.

 

“So you are supposed to be doing a job and you are playing hooky to quench your lust?” Rishou demanded darkly.

 

“Hai.” He said in that monotone.

 

“Show more feeling damn you!” he hissed.

 

“Why?” he asked.

 

“Because! This is not me!” Rishou growled.

 

“Why?” Ulquiorra asked in his tone.

 

“I know you have experienced others. It is obvious.” Rishou stated.

 

“Hai.” He replied.

 

“You are seriously creepy you know? Kamis you are a mood killer.” The shape shifter growled.

 

His green eyes just stared at him unable or unwilling to say more. He watched silently as Rishou dressed himself.

 

“What does the four mean?” he asked.

 

“It is my number.” He stated blankly.

 

“Okay you know what? Get out! Leave me alone okay? This was a grand time and all so go be compelled by someone else. I have a girlfriend.” He snapped.

 

Ulquiorra stood up and neared him. He saw anger again and this being was capable of emotion.

 

“You think linear. You think of this world. Souls know no limits or bounds. This is only a shell. You could be the female and you would still call.” He stated flatly.

 

“Jealous? Well I am not going to stop my life because you show up. Really the sex is amazing but that is all it is. I am not ignorant of things Arrancar. I may be drawn to you but you are technically my enemy. You may not be of this world but I am.” Rishou said glaring.

 

“You are part of what I am. You call to me.” Ulquiorra hissed.

 

“So you take time out of your busy day of spying to come scratch an itch so to speak. I am not a fool Ulquiorra. So you have had onna as well?” he asked.

 

“Hai.” He said flatly.

 

Rishou nodded and the Arrancar held his jaw.

 

“Go away. Surely you must feel warmed.” He sneered.

 

“The others are trash and unworthy. You will be part or you will die.” Ulquiorra said dispassionately.

 

“Who says?” he demanded.

 

“Your energy is increasing and he has noticed. The shinigami will not last. I will not be able to shield you much longer.” The pale man stated without emotion.

 

“You think you are protecting me?” Rishou asked confused.

 

“I will not be able to shield you unless you are part.” He stated.

 

“Quit talking in Kamis damned riddles! I have no idea of what you really are or who HE is.” Rishou snapped.

 

“Discourse is inane.” The Arrancar replied almost disdainfully.

 

“This is not my reality. You wish us to be lovers?” Rishou asked.

 

“I do not know.” Ulquiorra answered honestly.

 

“Why pursue me?” he asked.

 

“The call.” He said.

 

“My yoki? You sense my yoki and it must nearly match yours. Who were you before you were this?” he asked.

 

“I was many.” He stated.

 

“Hollows are evil souls.” Rishou stated.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“So you are evil?” Rishou asked.

 

“To shinigami. I will shield you.” He stated.

 

“You do not want me to go back to my girlfriend.” Rishou stated.

 

“I do not care.” Ulquiorra stated.

 

“You have no idea what you are feeling probably because you have no idea what it is. Look you go do your Arrancar thing and leave me be. I am sure I will see you around.” He said in annoyance.

 

The Arrancar looked at him and held his jaw again. Rishou reached up and felt into his hollow hole. Ulquiorra fought back a groan and they stayed like that for a moment.

 

“I will shield you.” He said and stepped back.

 

He moved with grace and fluidity as he dressed and he suddenly was gone. Rishou was more confused then ever and he decided to take a shower. He felt no shame and wondered why. He put it out of his mind as the water washed away the evidence of their encounter.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Asuna had been summoned to Soul Society and she was a little miffed. She went to Squad One and walked in. She saw his lieutenant and he motioned for her to follow. She was brought in before Yamamoto and she bowed. The lieutenant left and she sat on a cushion across from Teruyoshi.

 

“You actually summoned me?” she asked.

 

“I gave you that device so that you could move back and forth for a reason. Has the Kurosaki boy found anymore information?” he asked.

 

“No.” she said raising a brow.

 

“I am sending in a team led by Captain Hitsugaya.” He said looking over paperwork.

 

“You called on me for that?” she asked.

 

“What would you have me do Asuna? Ring you up on a telephone?” he asked.

 

“We are alone.” She said staring at him.

 

“Fine as you wish.” He stated as he reverted.

 

“You called me here for more then that Teru. You could have easily called on Mizuki to get the information from me.” She said crossing her arms.

 

“You are right of course. I want to ask you something.” He said meeting her eyes.

 

“I am all ears.” She said.

 

“I want you to consider staying here some. I mean staying here with me.” He said bluntly.

 

“What?” she asked shocked.

 

“Hai. I find myself needing and that is not a place I like to be but I completely enjoy and desire your company.” He stated.

 

“You need an outlet.” She said smirking.

 

“When you put it like that no! I have had purpose and direction in my existence and this crap has made me weary alright? I am unused to being betrayed and so completely taken for a fool. I told you that I have liked you for along time.” He said sighing.

 

“You came to Tokyo that night for what reason?” she asked.

 

“I came to find you and feel.” He said with annoyance.

 

“I believe the modern term is booty call? Mizuki has informed me of this phrase. Apparently you keep Byakuya busy and he has to have a booty call every so often when Mizuki has to be in the living world.” She said amused.

 

“Call it what you will. I will not engage someone that I do not know and we have quite a history do we not?” he asked raising a white brow.

 

“I am not opposed Teru. Just do not hide it behind pretty words. Ask me outright.” She said candidly.

 

“Fine! I do not mean now.” He said in irritation.

 

She smirked and stood up. She moved over to him and lifted his chin. She kept her lips from his by centimeters and breathed softly.

 

“I have enjoyed you immensely and I do not like being dismissed. See you later.” She said barely touching his lips.

 

She withdrew and sauntered out of his office. He followed and she only made it out into the hallway. He gently pressed her against the wall and began pecking her lips. He was addicted to her lips and would have kissed her all day. He drew her leg up and squeezed her backside. She squirmed under his touch and she rasped. She arched her neck and roughly began nipping at her throat.

 

“Now!” she demanded.

 

“Mixing kiang shi and inu made a very amorous being. I am surprised your parents rise from their bed at all.” He said in her ear.

 

“I do not want to be talking.” She growled.

 

“I know. You were such a sight to behold in your natural form. I knew you were behind when I fought that boar and when I saw you. I had never seen a silver before and I was struck by your beauty in both forms.” He stated in her ear.

 

He again kissed her and she realized he was not asking for an available partner but he wanted more. She was becoming very needy as he touched her and kissed along her exposed skin.

 

“I need you.” He said hoarsely.

 

“Hai.” She managed.

 

They were still fully clothed and the needed garments out of the way as he was with her. He took his time and could not let up on nipping and sucking on her full lips. The shinigami were invading her life and her senses more then she could have thought possible. His slow possession of her senses brought about powerful climax that he somehow amplified. She cried out before he could shush her and she was getting insane in the pure feeling of it. He finally allowed himself to join her and it was almost unreal. There was knocking on the shoji further down the hall.

 

“I am fine Sasakibe!” he snapped.

 

“Captain General Yamamoto!” he heard.

 

“I said I am fine damnit!” he snapped.

 

“Hai sir.” The voice said retreating from the door.

 

He phased them to his bedroom and she fell back into his plush mattress. He held himself up by his arms and moved with fluid motion. She cried out for him again and again until she was hoarse. He yelled out as he fell against her and came hard. He was rasping in her ear and Asuna was stunned. Her limbs were leaden and he slowly pulled out and fell to his back. Both were languid and completely leaden as the post coital lethargy took them. She looked over at him and was amazed. He could not keep his eyes open and his fingers were laced in hers. The Captain General of the Gotei Thirteen was overcome.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rishou wondered again for the hundredth time why he was here and he steeled himself. He knew he sensed the Arrancar in this small suburb of Tokyo. He saw the teen that his mother had trained was in a fight with a huge Arrancar and he was beating him. Rishou watched and sensed the green eyed Arrancar near.

 

“This is not your battle.” Ulquiorra said from behind him.

 

“I was looking for you.” Rishou said turning around.

 

He stood there staring at the Arrancar and he suppressed his damn lust. He narrowed his mahogany eyes at Ulquiorra and he wanted the other alone.

 

“No time.” The Arrancar said bluntly.

 

“Oh you get to make the rules?” Rishou hissed.

 

He rushed him quickly and shoved him into the side of a building. The green eyes widened just a margin and Rishou morphed his hand and sank into the brick, effectively trapping the Arrancar. He smirked at Ulquiorra and undid his jacket.

 

“I have decided to make it my mission to see you show some manner of emotion.” He said deeply.

 

“This is not the time.” Ulquiorra stated without a change in tone.

 

“I make it the time!” Rishou hissed.

 

He leaned forward and pressed his lips to one male nub and sucked aggressively. The cool skin was tougher than normal and growled loudly. He sank his fangs around the nub and Ulquiorra did cry out. The blood was unlike anything Rishou had ever tasted. He refused to let go and he felt the cool hand of the other on the back of his ebony head.

 

“Enough!” Ulquiorra hissed.

 

Rishou lifted his head and met the green eyes. He growled low in his throat and slipped several fingers into his hollow hole.

 

“No, you have bewitched me or something and I swear you will cry out louder and beg me for more!” Rishou snarled.

 

The Arrancar's breath was caught and he was trying to resume it. The shape shifter was causing him to feel intense spasms of pleasure through his humanoid form. He knew this creature on an instinctual level and he had been shocked when he had felt the energy. His green eyes flew open as he was truly on overload. Rishou was applying a pulsing sensation and hum through his cock and backside. He rolled his head to the side and groaned loudly; he truly did not recognize the noise he made as another near yell was ripped from his chest. Rishou let him down and traced his cold lips.

 

“You do not make the rules my friend. I have a say as well. I have a bit of inu in me and you smell so fucking good right now. You think about how much you wish to tell me next time you see me and remember I too make you feel. You called out my name Ulquiorra and Kamis if it was not beautiful passing your lips. You think about speaking something besides the cryptic shit.” Rishou said stepping back.

 

The blank look on his face infuriated the shape shifter and he wanted to hurt and bring the strange being to rapture. He growled and stepped back into his miasma and disappeared. The beating in his chest was unlike anything he had experienced before and the pull with this individual was irrational and against his calculating nature. He was cool headed and he never made a move that he had not analyzed. When he had sensed the yoki and recognized it on some primitive level; he had been affected strangely. He had been sent by Aizen to spy upon the shinigami and the ones known as Bounts, he had felt the youkai and had taken up spying on him till he could stand the pull no longer. He turned and saw the young shinigami had a hollow mask on. This intrigued him and he moved closer. He put the thoughts of the ebony haired youkai out of his mind. He would have to return later and speak with the young one and let him know who was really in charge.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Asuna was pacing the beach house when Ichigo returned. He looked haunted and she moved to him. He met her eyes and just grabbed her to him and held her tightly.

 

“The power within you, what is it Ichigo?” she asked.

 

“I have a hollow within me. That's what you felt when we were at your family's palace.” He said looking shaken.

 

“What has happened?” she asked.

 

“I was fighting a huge Arrancar when my inner hollow interfered. I have been approached by a group of former shinigami named Visoreds; they want me to join them.” He said looking away.

 

“What is with these former shinigami?” Asuna asked.

 

“They have acquired hollow powers.” He replied.

 

“So you are technically one of them already.” She said rubbing his shoulders.

 

“Hai I guess so.” He said in a depressed tone.

 

“You need to control this thing within you Ichigo. If these Visoreds can help you then perhaps you should consider.” She said seriously.

 

“Do you know how awful the process of regaining my shinigami powers was? You have no clue what it is like to have that control you!” he snapped.

 

“Eyal my uppyr mate was at one time possessed by a being called a Shouten wraith. They dwell within the same place as your hollows do. My daughter Hikari is a Tomoshibi and dwells within the same plane as Soul Society. When the wraith controlled him; he controlled me and raped me. I had not the power to control my own will. It was insidious.” She said watching him pace.

 

He turned and sighed deeply and moved back to her; he hugged her tightly and felt overwhelmed. She brought him to bed and rubbed his back to ease the tension.

 

“Where do you tell your father you are?” she asked.

 

“I tell him with Ishida or Chad. I really don't feel like having to explain every little thing to him. It's not like I am here every night. Hell you only have time for two nights at the most.” He said annoyed.

 

“I do my best Ichigo.” She said sighing.

 

Asuna slipped from the bed and disrobed. She went to the bathroom and slipped into the tub and tuned on the water. She was weary and closed her eyes. She had not seen him in nearly ten days and he slipped into the bathroom. She looked up and sighed again.

 

“Look I am freaking out okay? These Arrancar are like nothing I have ever seen.” He said looking down.

 

“I understand.” She nodded.

 

She finished bathing and she stood up. Ichigo was watching her and he scowled as he came over to her. He moved her towel and stared at her barely swollen belly. She growled and he looked up in hurt. He stormed through the house and went to the beach. She dressed in a long shirt of his and ran after him.

 

“You know I know all about you but reality just hit me. Who's the lucky one?” he asked in a raw tone.

 

“Do not dare be upset or angry Ichigo!” she said shaking.

 

“Yeah I guess I should realize that I am a just a distraction for you.” He said kicking the sand.

 

“How dare you! Do you really think I would have bought this place so that I just have fun?” she yelled.

 

“You tell me Sensei! You tell me what the fuck this is! Tell me Sensei what the hell I am to you!” he screamed.

 

“I told you this was not what you wanted and how dare you act this way! I am not a mortal Ichigo; I have no need of the same moral expectations as some ningen onna who may live a century!” she screamed back.

 

“You know what? I so do not need this right now! I love you and I put you first in almost everything! So fuck your Kamis damn sense of morality.” He said slapping her.

 

“Fuck you too!” she said walking back towards the house.

 

She felt a strange presence and she was thrown backwards onto the sand. She stared at a male that had blue hair and intense blue eyes. He wore a short white jacket with a black collar that was open to reveal a sculpted body with a whole in his belly. He had an arrogant smirk on his face and what looked like a piece of white jaw bone on the right side of his face.

 

“Wrong person. Shit! Who the hell are you?” he asked rudely.

 

“Who are you?” she demanded.

 

“I asked first.” He snapped.

 

“You are on my property!” she hissed.

 

“Well that is fucking dandy. Get out of my bitch!” he growled.

 

She began growling and her eyes flashed. A huge grin broke out on the beast's face and she extended her hand. Her fang appeared and she was already very angry. He began circling and suddenly jumped up and came down hard with his blade which she blocked over and over. He kept laughing hysterically and he extended his right hand and released a red energy. She held up her hand and it was repelled right back at him. He had to duck and he disappeared and reappeared right behind her. Asuna jerked her arm sharply to the left and he went flying. They began hitting their blades; he was fast and it was almost as if he was shunpoing. She whirled around and her hand took on a greenish glow as she began flinging her Dakkasou at him. He was burned and he began hissing furiously. He came back at her and began hacking at her as if his katana were a cleaver. She whirled again and released the Supaida Nami from her right hand. The beast did not see it coming and he was thrown backwards into the surf. She reabsorbed Konkisaiga and she willed herself to change form. When the blue haired male jumped up from the water he was faced with a growling and snarling giant inu.

 

“What the fuck?” he asked in surprise.

 

He watched her paws take on the green hue again and she swiped at him and caught his chest and gouged him with her toxin. She was also releasing acidic saliva and she went to snap at his leg. He released his red energy and it hit her squarely in the shoulder. She whined and transformed. He was in awe but he laughed hysterically again. She grew her whip and lifted her hand and it flew in a wide circle and cut into him deeply and he grunted in pain. He fell to his knees when she threw him with her will against a huge boulder. She heard Ichigo yelling from the house and she fell to her side.

 

“Who are you onna?” he demanded.

 

“Your death.” She growled.

 

“I am Grimmjow and I will face you again. Next time you will be dead under my feet!” he snarled.

 

She crawled forward and reached into his hollow hole and tore it open further with her claws. He screamed and disappeared. Her hand was covered in a blood so dark red that it appeared black. Ichigo hauled her up and pressed his tee shirt into the wound.

 

“That was an Arrancar!” he said in shock.

 

“I think he was looking for you.” She said closing her eyes.

 

“I am taking you to my dad.” He said firmly.

 

“No.” she said making herself stand.

 

“Why not?” he hissed in anger.

 

“Because then he would know that I carry your son!” she snarled.

 

“What?” he said dumbly.

 

“Hai Ichigo. The bastard I carry is yours! So fuck you.” She said staggering.

 

“But…” he said confused.

 

“The day you defeated Kariya, I knew but I did not want to ruin your life. I do not need you in this.” She said coldly.

 

“Excuse me?” he asked furiously.

 

“I said I do not need you. I did not want you to find out anyway. I was careless but you should not concern yourself with my child.” She said as she walked to the house.

 

She made in it inside and dialed Shinobu. Ichigo was behind her and she could feel his fury.

 

“Son. I need you at my coastal house. Hai. I was attacked and I am wounded. Hai. Hai.” She said quickly.

 

She went to the sofa and fell upon it. She closed her eyes and heard Ichigo breathing hard and she could scent his skin.

 

“I guess I never had a choice did I?” he asked.

 

“No. You are too young for this for one and two you automatically assumed this was not your child. I knew this would happen and I tried to save you the drama. I will see to your things.” She said unemotionally.

 

“You're a piece of work. You never gave me a damn chance. Prove yourself right; you obviously wanted it this way. I wouldn't have lied to you like this. Hope your fucking happy.” He said leaving.

 

She stared out the bay window and watched the surf crash up onto the beach. She had known better and she was in a way relieved that it was over. He could move on and hate her now instead of dragging it out.

He was in his room trying to do his damn calculus and he was still feeling the sting of betrayal. She had known for three months and hadn't said a damn word. He was shaking in anger and he figured she wanted to drive him away. He was reeling and he decided to patrol. He loved her with his whole heart and he felt like a stupid idiot at the moment for even attempting to reach her. His dad was annoying and crazy but he knew how much his parents had loved each other. He jumped out of his window after having separated and he began walking the streets of Karakura Town. He felt a familiar spirit pressure and turned to see Rukia.

 

“Hey what's up?” he asked.

 

“Came to see what all the activity was. How are you?” she asked.

 

“In a pissy mood.” He answered honestly.

 

“Why?” she asked.

 

“It doesn't matter Rukia. Come on.” He said as he walked the streets.

 

Memories of the Seireitei and her kiss invaded his brain and the sting of Asuna's betrayal assaulted him. He whirled on Rukia and picked her up. She was shocked at his treatment and struggled a moment until he lowered his lips to hers. She released a surprised squeak and began kissing him in return. They made it back to his room and he made it back into his body. He ended up taking her hard as he joined with the only other onna he had adored in such a manner. Asuna was not far away and had witnessed the kiss. She kept herself stoic as she accepted it. She had tried to push the boy at Kuchiki anyway. She ported away and made plans to sell the house.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////

Yuzuna stared over at Jyuushiro and ran her hand up his side to wake him up. He grunted and she giggled as he opened his warm brown eyes.

 

“Hello Ukitake-sama. How is the most perfect man in the Seireitei?” she said grinning down at him.

 

“Waiting for my head to explode.” He teased.

 

“Well Toushirou and Saaya are getting married today. He wanted it done before he went into the living world.” She said stretching beside him.

 

“Then I guess we have to get up and get dressed.” He said lightly.

 

“How about I watch you get dressed and drool while you do so?” she said smirking.

 

“I love you.” He said seriously.

 

“I know. I love you more.” She said as she jumped up.

 

“If something happens to me for any reason; my family has been instructed as to my wishes.” He said softly.

 

“Do not be silly!” she said holding his face.

 

“This situation is more serious then the Bounts Yuzuna.” He said honestly.

 

“I am not without yoki Jyuushiro. I am almost pure inu. I have a few tricks up my sleeves. Come as we are dressing formally.” She said lightly.

 

He stared at the onna he was in love with move around his home in the barracks. He had not asked her to marry him because of his health. He felt guilt and as if he was using her but he just could not bring himself to do that to her. If they remained as they were then she could leave at any time. He dressed in his formal robes of white and navy. She put on a kimono of soft pink and a dragon on the back. She was tying the obi and stepped into jeweled slippers. His throat constricted at her beauty of her heart and soul. She haphazardly threw up her hair and slipped in gold and ebony chop sticks. She looked back at him and grinned. He smiled back and she ported them to the Kuchiki estate. Byakuya had suggested his family home as a backdrop for the wedding and Mizuki had run with it. Yuzuna saw her mother and she hugged her tightly. She smiled softly and nodded to her. Asuna wore a hanfu of silver and light blue. She wore her hair up and a diadem was on her forehead of white gold and diamonds. She bowed before guests and she was unusually quiet. Rukia Kuchiki was in a formal kimono of red and she was flanked by Kurosaki Ichigo. Yuzuna noticed her mother was not even acknowledging the young shinigami. Captain General Yamamoto appeared and all bowed low. She watched her mother stand beside the Captain of Squad One. She was talking softly with him and she noticed the dark circles under her mother's eyes.

 

“Something is wrong with haha.” She said under her breath to Jyuushiro.

 

“What do you mean?” he asked softly.

 

“This way. She will hear us.” She said as they walked through the formal gardens.

 

“She is overly stiff and formal right now. She would have least acknowledged the Kurosaki boy considering she took the time refining his wild ass fighting style.” Yuzuna said.

 

“Go talk to her.” He said.

 

Yuzuna walked over to her mother and hugged her. Asuna looked at her inu daughter and smiled. A tear fell from her eye and she touched her face.

 

“Your chichi would be so proud of you. I know you make Yuudai proud every day.” She said softly.

 

“Thank you haha.” She said softly.

 

Yuzuna lifted her nose and caught a faint smell and her mother put up a hand.

 

 

-Say nothing! I am handling it. - she thought to her.

 

-Haha are you going to be okay? - Yuzuna pathed in return.

 

-Hai. I slept with him a couple of times in a lust. He does not need to know. I told him that I miscarried. - She pathed back.

 

-Oh haha. - Yuzuna pathed in regret.

 

Asuna stood ramrod straight ahead and watched as the wedding began to unfold. She watched as her ga daughter became Hitsugaya Saaya. She was so proud of her girls that she was overwhelmed. All of her pups made her proud and she slipped away after the ceremony. She never even looked at Ichigo and she could feel his anger at her treatment. She went to the room she stayed in sometimes and lay on the bed and closed her eyes. There was knocking on the shoji screen and she slid it open with a wave of her hand. Ichigo stepped in and he was angry and his reiatsu was flaring.

 

“Do not dare make a scene at my daughter's wedding.” She commanded without opening her eyes.

 

“You cannot even look at me?” he demanded.

 

“No. I am tired Kurosaki. I fought that beast again and I was injured badly.” She said in a dead voice.

 

“What? Are you stupid?” he demanded.

 

“He seems to think I have to loose to him. Why are you not by your girlfriend's side?” She asked in a frozen tone.

 

“I wanted to talk to you and see how you were feeling.” He said gritting his teeth.

 

“I am fine but I am no longer with child. I said I was injured badly but that should not matter to you.” She said closing her eyes again.

 

“What?” he asked in shock.

 

“Hai. It is a relief to me. You may go. You have no concerns of me anymore. I am leaving Japan for awhile. I am going to Budapest. You and Kuchiki look well together.” She said slipping from the bed.

 

“I see why Hakushin learned to hate you. Frigid and hateful bitch!” he yelled as he left.

 

She sighed and moved to the courtyard. She bowed before the guests and Yamamoto and left Soul Society. She appeared in Eyal's residence and moved to their room. She fell upon the bed and passed out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ulquiorra was in the window of Rishou's room in Sendai and he watched the shape shifter sleep. The idiot Grimmjow had been hell bent on causing mischief and he was getting fed up with the trash. Rishou sat up and stared at him.

 

“You gonna spill your guts this time?” Rishou asked.

 

“No.” the Arrancar answered.

 

“Get out.” Rishou said rolling to his side.

 

“No.” he replied in his flat voice.

 

“You know I am telepathic. You planned on teaching me who was in charge? You are hilarious you know.” He said crossing his arms across his bare chest.

 

Ulquiorra said nothing and slipped from the window. Rishou watched with feigned disinterest and saw the Arrancar slink over to him.

 

“I took Seina in a rather passionate haze a little while ago. She was tight as she always is. She let me take her hard too.” He said seeing if he could get a response from the green eyed hollow.

 

Ulquiorra still said nothing and not even a flicker passed his features and Rishou grew annoyed. He had been practicing with Mizuki about changing his physical form and he had not lied about Seina. He had taken her back to Tokyo only the hour before. He decided to ignore the pale being and he rolled to his side and pretended to not care. He was rolled to his back and stared up into the melancholy face.

 

“Were you created oh so delightful?” Rishou asked.

 

“There was intense hunger and the hunt. It was an evolution.” He stated.

 

“So you were just a barrel of laughs. You know your hands are freezing!” Rishou growled.

 

“Warm them.” Ulquiorra retorted.

 

Rishou grinned at the words and grabbed the creature and ported into the hot spring near the castle. The Arrancar felt the warm water and sank back clothes and all.

 

“So you do crave the warmth.” Rishou stated.

 

The blank face stared at him and Rishou had no idea how any creature could be so devoid of expression. He supposed it made him fierce and frightening in battle but it made him determined to see his face crumpled in passion.

 

“Since you are of a high hollow stature that means somewhere in you there was a ningen soul that had regret or great pain. Seeing your face I am guessing you were once a sadistic and very sad person.” Rishou stated.

 

“Quit speaking.” He commanded.

 

“Hit a nerve? Well you know I am the son of a being who was similarly created. A very sadistic ningen named Onigumo had been burned horribly and decided that he really liked this ningen miko. He took in youkai to be stronger. Well those youkai were led by a kumo soul named Hisashi. He was a very bitter and pissed of former youkai lord. Mix that with a pissed off mortal and you had Naraku. Well chichi went and fell in love with my haha. So we pups all have a reminder of what our sire is. Mine is no where as big as his but this is my birth mark.” He said turning to show the kumo shaped scar on his lower back.

 

Ulquiorra moved forward and touched what appeared to be marred flesh. Rishou smirked back at him and ended up pushing him against the side of the spring.

 

“So which were you? A sadistic fuck or overly sad?” Rishou asked.

 

“Both.” The Arrancar stated.

 

“So you may have known me either this life or perhaps a past one.” The shape shifter stated.

 

“Perhaps.” He was answered.

 

“So you can answer.” Rishou said turning.

 

The blank eyes stared at him and he stared back. Rishou began slowly undressing him and saw the hollow hole.

 

“Why do you keep coming back?” Rishou asked.

 

“I feel.” He replied.

 

“You mean you want to feel. Just like the warmth.” he retorted.

 

A tiny smile curved the Arrancar's lips as he beheld the shape shifter.

 

“Then make me feel.” Ulquiorra said in his monotone.

 

He watched the shape shifter become predatory and a shiver of delight went down his spine. He knew there was another that was supposed to be here but was not. He truly had no idea how he knew but he knew. Rishou was surmising right but memories were not to be had; only feelings from the soul. He gasped suddenly and sudden heat coursed through him and his head fell forward. The heat was addictive in of itself and he also realized that it was Rishou who truly had the upper hand. The shape shifter was hell bent on making him come truly alive and he actually succeeded in making him show feeling. Tremors shook his body and he tried to catch his breath as that inferno coursed through him. He was so tired but Rishou had no intentions of letting him go. He was rasping as he was engulfed.

 

“Your skin has lost its chill. Why will you not tell me more?” Rishou demanded in his ear.

 

“Losing thoughts.” He admitted.

 

“I see. Well you started this and I cannot be blamed for the results. You pursued till I could not stop. My name is beautiful as you gasp it. You have no idea what a sight it is to see you show something in your features.” Rishou stated in a husky tone.

 

“Sleep!” The Arrancar demanded.

 

“No. I want you to moan my name whilst your face crumples under the pleasure.” He said fiercely.

 

It occurred that he had awakened a powerful persona and he again shivered in response to the feelings that were coursing through him. His body was responding and his gasps were harsh to his own ears.

 

“I want you to tell me something!” Rishou groaned against his ear.

 

“Cannot.” He gasped.

 

Rishou leaned over his body and sank his fangs into his neck and Ulquiorra gasped out loudly. The burn raced through his body and he yelled out as they both succumbed. Rishou bent his head back and possessed his mouth. He finally let him go and sank back into the water.

 

“You are mine now. I hope you can handle that.” Rishou whispered fiercely.

 

“This is not my course.” The Arrancar stated.

 

“Right. See you do not speak of your course so I am to assume that this pleases you even though you will not say it.” Rishou snapped.

 

“This pleases me.” The Arrancar said.

 

“So the man can speak! Go slink back to your wasteland and report to this Aizen fellow. I will not be here for awhile as I actually have to work occasionally. Who is this third you are thinking of?” Rishou demanded.

 

“Unknown.” He responded.

 

“Well I am tired.” He said coolly.

 

“Sleep.” He stated.

 

Rishou growled and grabbed the Arrancar. He brought him to his room through his miasma and shoved him onto his bed. He glowered down at him and fell beside him.

 

“Sleep before you skulk off. Surely even you hollows have to rest as some point.” Rishou snarled.

 

“You are the only one who will ever speak to me as such. There is no toleration otherwise.” He stated.

 

“What your Arrancar buddies do not defy you?” he demanded.

 

“No.” he replied.

 

“Well I am not an Arrancar and you sure as hell are not my commander. I want you to say it Ulquiorra!” Rishou said growling.

 

“What exactly are you inquiring after?” he asked without tone.

 

“Why did you come after me? Why do you still come to me?” Rishou asked.

 

“I know you.” He said unemotionally.

 

“Say it!” Rishou demanded.

 

“I feel.” He replied evenly.

 

“Say it or never show your face again!” Rishou said glaring at him.

 

“You cannot accept what is? The physical still angers you. You do not accept that this transcends this flesh.” Ulquiorra asked without his tone changing.

 

“I would accept it better if I did not feel so fucking dirty afterward! I have to accept that I am obviously not who or what I thought I was. You are the only male I even think this way about! So if you cannot say anything else besides your cryptic shit then stay the hell away from me!” he snarled in an angry voice.

 

“I do understand what I feel. I know I feel but I have no experience to name it.” He said in his cool voice.

 

“Oh.” Rishou said dumbfounded.

 

“Arrancar can sleep. I choose to sleep.” He said closing his eyes.

 

“Describe the feeling.” Rishou commanded.

 

“I have to shield you. I have to keep the others from knowing your true power. I have to keep.” He said under his breath.

 

“I see.” Rishou stated lying next to him.

 

“We are three. We are missing our third.” Ulquiorra stated.

 

“Uh huh. Let me know when you find him or her.” Rishou said passing out.

Erena was laying in her bed in Vietnam and things were happening around her. She felt things she had not felt since the times of her great mother. She closed her eyes and saw the phantom images and the deaths. Tears leaked from her eyes and there was in ache that never went away. These strange feelings continued to course through her and she sat up. She ported to the wilds of Tibet and walked through the cold forest. She found a huge open web and her brother sitting near the top sleeping.

 

“Lazy!” she called up.

 

-Well the breeze was nice! - he pathed amused.

 

“Change and come down here!” she demanded.

 

Jouichi changed form and slid down the web. He grinned at his sister and she punched his arm.

 

“So what brings you here?” he asked playfully.

 

“I feel them.” She stated.

 

“Sister they have been dead since the battle that took our mother. That has been a very long time ago.” He said.

 

“I know! I am telling you I feel them!” she snapped.

 

“Okay, why now?” he said gripping her shoulders.

 

“No idea. They are out there and they feel it too.” She said closing her brown eyes.

 

“Erena go back to Vietnam. Forget about them.” He said softly.

 

“I cannot! Things are happening. Big things are happening.” She said looking haunted.

 

“I know you lost much when mother died.” He said gently.

 

“Hai. We all did Jouichi but hai I did loose the most important people besides you all.” She said softly.

 

“Tenma and Ataru would not want you wasting away!” Jouichi said.

 

“Go back to sleep. I am sorry I bothered you.” She said looking away.

 

“Go to Asa. That is my advice. She creeps me out but you may actually get some information.” He said.

 

“She is still in Kinki?” Erena asked.

 

“Hai.” He nodded.

 

“Thank you Jouichi.” She said kissing his cheek.

 

Erena produced a shoki cloud and ported to Kinki and the caves below. She felt thousands of kumo and she called out.

 

“Lady Asa? I am Erena. I am the eldest daughter of Ayana Agelina.” She yelled out.

 

“What does the babe of my babe need?” a voice said.

 

“You know all about our kind. I need to know.” She said loudly.

 

“Things are shaky amongst several planes Erena. You wish to know if the elite warriors of your father's army have come back?” she asked as she stepped forward.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

“You were a naughty girl were you not?” Asa asked.

 

“Who my mates were are none of your concern grandmere.” She said coldly.

 

“Well your mother only shared the two but you took it one step further. You are more brazen then Ayana ever was.” Asa laughed.

 

“I admit I was not traditional but I had my mother's example did I not?” she snapped.

 

“Tenma and Ataru…the two strongest warriors of your sire's command. Hai they are alive. Ataru had to waken Tenma.” She said cryptically.

 

Erena closed her eyes and opened them with tears.

 

“You have to be careful Erena as this evil is unlike any you have encountered. You may have to fight against and alongside the shinigami.” She stated.

 

“Shinigami? What the hell have they ever done? I am a youkai and not mortal scum!” she snarled.

 

“In this era there is no distinction. Dust off your fang Erena as you will have to help your mother.” Asa said stepping back.

 

“Lady Asuna refused to acknowledge us!” she said in anger.

 

“She could not handle the tragedy of yet more death Erena. She loved Jouichi as a man in this life and not as a son. All souls travel around each other and in one life they are son and mother and in the next they are enemies. You will know when you see them.” She said with a strange look in her eyes.

 

“Jouichi was right and you are creepy.” Erena said porting out.

 

Asa knew that this would not pass any time soon and felt for her extended family.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

He was Los Noches when he felt it. He could not understand what he was feeling exactly. He opened a portal into the living world and stepped through. He saw shiny brown hair and she turned around. She blinked at him and he openly stared at her.

 

“What are you?” she asked.

 

“Arrancar.” He stated without emotion.

 

“What is your name Arrancar?” she asked.

 

“Ulquiorra Schiffer.” He replied.

 

She moved in front of him in the blink of an eye.

 

“What is an Arrancar Ulquiorra Schiffer?” she asked in a low whisper.

 

“Hollow.” He stated in his devoid tone.

 

“What? How? How in the hell?” she asked furiously.

 

“I do not understand.” He said in his lifeless tone.

 

“How is it an Arrancar comes about?” she demanded.

 

“It is evolution. The hollow mask came off.” He said in a low tone.

 

“Why? You had to wallow in what? Kamis damn you Ataru! What did you do to yourself? Fuck!” she screamed.

 

She was crying and he stood there impassively. He felt but did not know and she obviously did.

 

“Who? Who is this Ataru?” he asked.

 

“Kumo!! My cousin to be exact! Hai we were a dirty little lot. You sorry son of whore! Where is Tenma?” she asked.

 

“I know not of who you speak.” He stated.

 

She pressed her hand to his shoulder and blackish energy surged through him. He was thrown backwards and through a wall. It was eerily similar to his own cero and he stood up.

 

“Maybe you will jog his memories. His soul was youkai! How?” she hissed.

 

“Unknown.” He said walking forward.

 

She pulled him to her and pulled him to her lips. It was violent and passionate in its intensity. He felt intense pulls on his consciousness. They lost their balance as their lips bruised the other. Her claws barely scratched his skin and he felt the same intense lust he felt around the shape shifter. She tore his hakama and freed his painful erection. She pulled her kimono up and he shoved himself into her. Her moans were deep and he was deeply affected.

 

“This. I have felt this before.” He rasped.

 

“Hai.” She said as her hands gripped and dug into his flesh.

 

Neither lasted long and she snarled out as they climaxed hard. She made him look at her and she ran her fingers along his face.

 

“Where is he?” she asked.

 

“The third.” He stated in his way.

 

“Hai our third. Where is he?” she asked.

 

“I do not know. He is not near and I do not feel the pull right now.” He said tonelessly.

 

“I am Erena. Try to remember when you go back to wherever.” She said crawling away from him.

 

“We were forbidden.” He said looking at her hard.

 

“Hai. Jouichi was your uncle and my father.” She said softly.

 

“I must go.” He said rising.

 

“What is your purpose now?” she asked.

 

“Power.” He said looking at her.

 

“Who pulls your strings?” she asked with pained eyes.

 

“Aizen-sama. Our third is not here.” He said blankly.

 

“What is his name now?” she demanded.

 

“Matsuda Rishou.” He replied.

 

“You have been with him?” she asked closing her eyes.

 

“Hai.” He said just staring.

 

“You loved us both. We shared everything.” She said with trembling lips.

 

“I have to return. He will find one or both.” Ulquiorra stated looking down at her.

 

“I will find him. I believe I know of who he is. We are again forbidden.” She said standing.

 

He watched her port away and he was very confused. He opened the dimensional portal and stepped back into Hueco Mundo. He heard Grimmjow and his day just got worse.

Asuna was in Japan for the time being and she was in her office in downtown Tokyo. She was dealing with matters of tariff laws and she found herself enjoying this aspect of this job. Her hand was on her belly and she felt him move under her fingers. Mizuki came in and handed her papers.

 

“You know it looks like this deal that I have spent almost three years in achieving may actually go through.” She said to her mother.

 

“Hai. I want this bastard to suffer for his arrogance.” Asuna said viciously.

 

“Haha, how come you will not tell us who sired my baby brother?” she asked.

 

“Because it was a drunken encounter and of no consequence. I have had to listen to your chichi, Ishin, and Nobu all bitch and hiss at me. I told them it was just a stupid mistake and now they are speaking to me again.” She said not looking up.

 

“You think I would judge you?” she asked.

 

“No, I think I want to forget about it. I am tired and Captain General Yamamoto has called on me.” She said rubbing her temples.

 

“You two have gotten to be good friends.” She commented.

 

“He insists that I eat with him a couple of times a week since you three have become unofficial members of the Seireitei. I will be back tomorrow. I have connections within the Diet and hopefully we will repeal at least this set of taxes.” She said softly.

 

“Okay. That is wonderful. See you tomorrow.” She stated.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

Asuna walked outside and head towards the apartment. She walked for the exercise and she felt the annoying presence of the Arrancar. She whirled and slammed him against a brick wall.

 

“You will keep loosing until I kill you!” she snarled.

 

“You are knocked up!” he said looking at her.

 

“Hai. Screw off!” she hissed.

 

“Have your brat so I can wipe your ass all over the place and rip your spine out of your mouth!” he said laughing manically.

 

“I will get right on that idiot. What is your purpose except to annoy me?” she demanded.

 

“Oh we are to rid our oh so fucking glorious leader of his problems. You have become a problem.” He laughed.

 

“You are insane.” She said walking forward again.

 

“Hurry up and have your brat! You will be begging for death soon enough.” He said suddenly gone.

 

She shook her head and sighed. She walked to her penthouse and went up the elevator. She went to the door and she felt a hand on her shoulder.

 

“What!” she growled.

 

“You lied to me!” Ichigo said in fury.

 

“Go away please.” She said angry.

 

“I need a way into Soul Society. Things are bad in Karakura Town.” He said tightly.

 

“Fine. Give me a few minutes.” She stated.

 

“Fine!” he said barely suppressing his fury.

 

She went to her room and slipped out of her business attire and slipped a white button down on and jeans. She was pleased by the trendy clothes for pregnant onna and she stepped out. Ichigo stared at her in hatred and she stared back with no emotion. She used the amulet and a gate appeared slowly. It opened and she stepped through along with Ichigo. She ported immediately to Teruyoshi's office and appeared within his outside office. His lieutenant stood and bowed.

 

“He is in a captain's meeting but he will be done soon.” Lieutenant Choujirou stated.

 

“Thank you. The Kurosaki boy is on his way here.” She said sitting in a low chair.

 

She closed her eyes and she pressed her hands to her abdomen. She had forgotten how hard it was carrying a hanyou. Her body was exhausted to the point of her sleeping all the time. She had already fallen asleep when she felt herself being shaken awake.

 

“Asuna?” Teru said from his old man guise.

 

“So hard. The same but different. Needs are different.” She moaned in delirium.

 

“Get Captain Unohana.” He commanded.

 

“Kurosaki Ichigo is here Captain General.” His lieutenant stated.

 

“Let him in.” he sighed.

 

Asuna passed out and he looked concerned. He gently shook her and she was not responding at all.

 

“Now! Get her here now.” He yelled.

 

Ichigo came in and his eyes widened. He ran to her side and Captain Yamamoto looked nervous.

 

“Sensei!” Ichigo said shaking her.

 

“Kurosaki, I have already tried.” He snapped.

 

“Shut up! Sensei! Asuna please wake up. Asuna please!” he said urgently.

 

Captain Unohana came in and turned her onto her back. She opened her shirt and pressed her hands to her belly. She looked concerned and shook her head.

 

“She needs the living world Captain.” She said softly.

 

“What do you mean?” Ichigo yelled.

 

“Her baby is not moving.” Unohana said.

 

Teruyoshi yanked the medallion off of her neck and produced a gate. He picked her up and Ichigo snarled.

 

“What are you doing with her!” he yelled.

 

“Trying to save her.” He said in anger.

 

He stepped through the gate followed hotly by Ichigo. They were near the hospital and Captain General Yamamoto shunpoed to the family's hospital. She would not tell him who the sire was and he had quit asking. He brought her in and Nobu's eyes widened.

 

“Shinobu! Nanami!” he called urgently.

 

“How far along is she?” Yamamoto asked.

 

“Thirty two weeks.” Nobu said clenching his jaw.

 

Nanami brought a portable ultra sound and Nobu checked on the boy.

 

“Shinobu prep your mother now! The baby is in trouble.” He said urgently.

 

“What the hell is going on?” Ichigo snarled.

 

“Blood pressure.” He said quickly.

 

“Father!” Shinobu yelled.

 

Asuna began seizing and Ichigo was horrified. Yamamoto looked the same and his eyes were wide.

 

“I told her no more! I told her.” Nobu snarled.

 

“Father, she would not let me draw labs.” Shinobu said ashamed.

 

“You know son that you should have told me sooner!” Nobu said furiously.

 

“Father, the baby is hanyou.” Nanami said looking at some reports

 

“Here and now.” He said quickly.

 

“Go back to Soul Society. Thank you for bringing her.” Nanami said softly.

 

Shinobu assisted in a crash section and Ichigo was dragged out by a nurse. Yamamoto paced the halls and he wanted to change his form.

 

“Kurosaki, I have to return to Soul Society. You will let us know how this goes.” He said looking at the young mortal.

 

“Hai.” Ichigo nodded.

 

It appeared he left and he waited a little while. He came back as himself and he felt like a fool. Kurosaki looked at him funny and he glared at him.

 

“Who are you?” he asked.

 

“A friend of Yamamoto's.” he replied.

 

Nanami pulled out the blue infant and Ichigo's hands were shaking slightly. Nanami rubbed the baby's back hard and suddenly a shrill cry broke out. She looked down at her nearly bald baby brother and he was beautiful.

 

“He looks ningen.” She said in amazement.

 

“He has strawberry blond hair.” Nobu said holding the screaming baby.

 

“I will take him to the nursery.” Nanami said.

 

Nobu and Shinobu worked on closing her stomach and Nanami had wrapped the boy in a blanket and was pushing him to the nursery.

 

“You are the shikyo konjou!” Nanami said to Teruyoshi.

 

“Hai. Is she alright?” he asked.

 

“Hai. Could you go to her penthouse and bring her some things Kami-sama.” Nanami said bowing.

 

“Hai.” He said looking down at the beautiful boy.

 

Teruyoshi faded out and Nanami walked slowly. She waited on Ichigo and he looked stunned.

 

“I suggest you see him now before my siblings converge. She protected you both from recrimination. She told me in confidence a few days ago.” She said as they walked.

 

“Is he okay?” Ichigo asked.

 

“Hai. We have red haired relatives so no one will question his hair color. She wanted you to not be involved.” She said under her breath.

 

“I want to hold him.” He said biting his lip.

 

“Come later. Mother should never have become pregnant. Her body is not strong enough anymore for it.” She said glaring at him.

 

He nodded and he stepped back against a wall. He was in so much shock and to actually see him; he felt as though he was sucker punched. Nanami brought him back around and she lifted him up for Ichigo to see.

 

“His power is coming off of him in waves. He will be powerful.” She said.

 

“I want to hold him.” He said shaking.

 

Nanami gently laid him in Ichigo's arms and he looked down. His little mouth yawned and he sucked on his fingers.

 

“She is a very good mother. She is an overprotective mother. She will love him and care for him well.” She stated gently.

 

“You're saying she will keep him from me?” he asked in a hoarse voice.

 

“It cannot be helped and it is her will.” She said taking him back.

 

Nanami took her baby brother to the nursery and Ichigo left suddenly. He was full of emotion like when his mother had been killed. He went back to Karakura Town and he went in search of any hollows to kill.

Asuna came to and she looked over at Teruyoshi. He was holding her sweet baby and she reached her arms out for him. He laid him in her arms and she looked down at him.

 

“Hello Hinata. You are so beautiful my son.” She said softly.

 

“Asuna, who sired him?” he asked.

 

“I was drunk Teru. I am ashamed of myself but it does not matter. He is mine completely.” She said smiling down at him.

 

“Bring him to Soul Society and he can take my name.” he said softly.

 

She looked over at him surprised and raised a brow.

 

“He is only half ningen.” She said.

 

“That boy is leaking reiatsu and yoki. He needs to be around other shinigami. I know not who you encountered but they obviously had spiritual powers.” He said looking down.

 

“It was right after the Bount defeat. I was in our family's lounge and a brave and rather brash mortal just came in. He was flirtatious and smelled rather good and I indulged. He was not Japanese.” She said looking down at her sweet boy.

 

“I will raise him Asuna. He will carry the name Yamamoto and it is one of the Four Noble Houses.” He implored her.

 

“Hai.” She nodded.

 

He picked up the boy he had fallen in love with. He held him up and looked into brown eyes.

 

“Hello my son. Yamamoto Hinata.” He said softly.

 

The hanyou's lips trembled and he let loose a cry. Asuna smiled and felt better then she had in awhile.

 

“I never asked can you have offspring?” she asked.

 

“Hai. I have two sons who are in Central Forty Six.” He said softly.

 

She laid her head back and knew she would continue to protect Ichigo from all concerned but she would not allow him access to his son. He was too young and she had no wish to be blamed more then she already was. She could see Teru's brow and she knew that things were bad for Soul Society. She put it out of thought and took Hinata from Teru and began feeding him. She shut out any thoughts of anything else for the time being.
