Chapter 20

In Hueco Mundo the middle of a few empty buildings there was a hotel called red wolf. Vega and Nirgge were walking into the lobby. "Are you sure they are all here?" "Yes, Abirama was practically yelling it in my ear as he so annoyingly does…" Vega says sighing. "I see…it is rare to see all of them in the room together again. The young ones didn't even know about the funeral. That woman really is a snake. But were we any better?" Nirgge says. "Lying to everyone? No, we were not better, but their safety was our main concern. I never wanted our master to marry her, but he got what he wanted out of her. Children." Vega says walking to the elevator. "That is true but, there were many women out there who could have set his needs. He made sure of that. Why not pick a woman who shared his goal of reclaiming what is his?" Nirgge huffs out following Vega.

Getting into the elevator Vega hit the top floor button. He leans on the wall as it went up. "What shall we do after this?" Nirgge asked. Vega rolled his eyes. "Isn't it obvious, we follow the young ones until they no longer need us. If we could have taken Kendric with us, then it would be better, but that woman refused to hand him over even when she didn't want him. She thinks keeping the child is a lifeline." Vega held up a camera. "However, now that we have proof that she's been doing what we have known, maybe we can get Kendric removed." "True again but that puts up another question Vega…who will take him?" Vega frowned. "Surely one of the older ones but then again…you may be right…I suppose we will have to see what they want to do. If they don't want him then…there is always her."

Reaching the top floor, they walked down to the end of the hall were two men were standing guard. One was a slim man with beautiful flowing yellow hair and gray eyes. He was wearing a black suit with number '2' on it. Next to him was another man or so. He was large, bulky, and muscular. He had long wavy black hair, large glossy lips, icy blue eyes, and curly long eyelashes. He was also wearing a black suit but…it was flasher then a normal. He was posing in front of a camera smiling and winking. "Well my dearest and beautiful roses, that is all this Rose Princess has to show you for today. Come back next week at 3pm when I go over the different shades of blush to use for your first date. Remember to be on time loves. A woman is just a beautiful when she is punctual. Ta Ta!" He winks and closes his phone. "Charlotte, I see you are still keeping up with your drag queen persona…" Vega says.

Charlotte frowned. "Excuse me!? This is no persona! My lesson helps those who wish to feel beautiful not only on the inside but the outside as well. One day I will meet a young spirt who rivals even my own spirit. I will then use all my power to make that rose bud blossom into a gorgeous rose!" Nirgge rolled his eyes. "Whatever, where are the others." Charlotte looked at Findorr. Running his hands through his blonde hair he sighs. "They went to go get food for the young ones." "How are they?" Vega asked. Findorr crossed his arms. "The same…at least they now share a more common goal. They would like to keep out of contact with their mother. Did you get what you need from meeting her?" "We didn't get a chance to…she left Kendric in the mall again, so we had to make sure he stayed safe." Charlotte scarfed. "That woman gives us all a bad name. How is darling Kenny?" "Not good…but we finally got proof of the abuse thanks to that woman." "Woman?" Findorr asks. "Oichi Yamamoto. Seems like her and her friend found Kendric in the store and treated him to a meal. We must report to the others." They nodded at him as he walked to the door and opened it.

Walking in he saw the four older children of Barragan and Tory. On the bed doing homework was a young girl with long straight gray hair and gray eyes. She had on an elementary school uniform. Her backpack was beside her as she worked. Vega went to her first. "Madam Shelia, you look well today." Shelia was the youngest girl of the four and ten years old in the last of middle school grade. After her 8th birthday she left the house without a word or rather she ran away unable to stand her mother. Even at a young age she knew something wasn't right about her. She cut contact with Tory, but she kept in touch with Barragan. She had been living with one of Barragan's associates. Her dream job was to become a doctor. Looking up at Vega she gave him a blank stare. "Don't call me Madam. I'm not some old hag like that woman. My name will do just fine." Vega nods. "My apologizes…"

He looked to see another girl. She was sitting in front of a mirror doing her hair and makeup. She had black hair that she was putting into a ponytail. She had green olive eyes and purple eye liner on. "Amanda? You are looking dashing as always." Amanda was the oldest girl of the four. She was in her last year of high school. She was 17 years old. She was a very expressive girl. She made it known to her father that she had no love for Tory and wanted to leave the house. He allowed her to leave on her 15th birthday and kept contact with her. "Hi Vega. Thank you for the nice compliment. I've missed the way you charmed me." Vega smiles. "Yes of course." "I miss Charlotte the most though. I am in love with his make up tips. I've had so many guys ask me out! Though they were all basic." "I'm sure you will find the right one soon enough princess." Amanda giggled.

Walking to the bar in the room, Vega saw a young man with short black hair, slicked back with olive green eyes. He had on a pair of glasses and a blue suit. Vega walked up to him but before he could say anything the young man held his hand up. "Before you speak to me remember your place. You will address me as Sir or master but never by name first is that understood? My father may be dead but as his children you will respect and serve us." "Of course, master Lexton. I will address you however you wish for me to address you." "Good, your loyalty has always been one of the best." Lexton was the second oldest child. He was 20 years old and had been over sees working on his up and coming business. He was following his father's footsteps but more of the political side. Where he lived, he was already known for being one of the youngest business owners to date now. He moved out from under his parents after he finished high school. He did not care much for Tory, but he did what he was told and gave respect until he left the house. He stopped having contact with her when she kept calling, asking for money. He found it distasteful of a woman who had everything wanted more and didn't care how she got it. "I see you are here to report about our youngest brother?" Vega nodded. "Where is Master Benjamin?" They heard the bathroom door open and the older brother, Benjamin or Ben, walked out with a towel around his neck. He had black hair that was slightly spikey, green olive eyes and was wearing a black t-shirt and black pants. He was the oldest of the children. He was 23 and had quickly moved out when he turned 18. He wanted to be a doctor and worked his way up to it but, he decided to quit and move on to something else. "Hey there Vega. Looks like you're still kissing up to the family. Nice to know nothing has changed about you people." "I do not see it that way. Your father did a lot for me and I pledge myself to him and his children if they need me."

"Calm yourself brother…" Lexton says. "He is right, technically, father did save their lives. As you can see, once Aizen lost his power these idiots did not know what to do. They are running around like a chicken with its head cut off. If father were still alive, he could have taken control and brought this place back down to its knees. However, he was killed by that coward. The least we can do is to offer those who don't know where to go into our folds."

Ben rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say brother. So, how did your reporting go?" "I was about to start. We found Kendric and we attempted to speak with Tory but as usual she left him alone in a shopping store." Amanda frowned and Shelia stopped working and looked up. "She left him!?" Vega nodded. "Yes, instead of following her we stayed and kept watch on Kendric to make sure he wasn't taken. Since she has a restraining order on us, we could not take him." Ben sighs. "That woman…" "On a good note, Kendric happened to run into Oichi Yamamoto." "The woman who pretty much took Aizen's top guns?" Ben asked. He smirked. "She's a very interesting woman and bold to. I heard she is with Grim these days. Even got some kids with him." "a set of twins and one on the way sir." Ben chuckled. "Never thought that guy would find a way to settle down. Moving on, what did she do with Ken? Take him to the cops?" "No, she feed him and got some answers out of him and she also got the proof we need." He held up the camera. "Everything is on here." Lexton took it. "Let's have a look then."

In the mall, Danni and Florina were just arriving. "Mom…are you sure about this?" Danni chuckled. "Yes, and your sister is on the way to help. If you are going to surprise Hisagi you need to get a fresh new sexy outfit to wow him and for him to take you seriously." "What does that mean?" Florina asked. "Well, Hisagi already knows that you want to wait for marriage. If you just rush up and tell him that you want to have sex he is going to back off and think someone put the idea your head." Florina frowned. "He will…" "Oh yes my little honeybee. I can see he is quite the clueless gentlemen who cares about you and your standards." "Mom! Sis!" They looked to see Izzy waving at them smiling. She skipped to Florina and hugged her. "Yay! I'm so happy that you are willingly to take this to the next level." She let her go. "Of course, sex isn't the only thing that should be required in a relationship but it a fun bonding moment and then one day poof! You might decide to have a baby like Oichi!" Florina's face turned red. "A-A-A-A baby!? With Hisagi!?" She put her hands on her cheeks. Danni and Izzy giggled at her. "One step at a time sweetheart. Knowing Hisagi he will use protection until you both are ready for that." Florina gulps but nods as she tries to cool her face down. Izzy grabbed her hand. "Now, let's go find an outfit! Too bad Oichi didn't answer her phone. We could have asked her to make you one."

Walking past the hair salon they failed to see Oichi in there getting her hair done. Inside, she was still upset about what just happened. Jess had left for a bit to talk to her uncle. Oichi huffed out while she got her hair washed. "Something on your mind sug?" The woman asked. "Yeah, I will never understand how horrible a woman can be towards a child much less her own…" She rubs her belly. The woman frowned. "I hear that dear. I don't think I could ever raise a child and that's why I don't have one myself." Oichi looked up at her. "You don't want any?" "Oh heavens no. I like being single without children. I do not have to worry about another mouth to feed and I can live my life how I want. Now, no offense to you and the other lovely mothers, but I don't see a child in my future." Oichi smiled. "None taken ma'am. Some go down this path and some chooses not to. It is your choice. I just don't like it when some women make that choice and purposely refuse to see it though."

The beautician sat her up from washing her hair. "I see…what about those who don't have a choice? Like the ones who get taken advantages off. They end up with their attacker's child. Frankly, I don't agree with them having to raise a child they do not want." Oichi frowns. "Again, it is their choice in my opinion…under those types of circumstances I can't speak for others. I have never gone through a tragic moment like that, so I have no way of knowing how some of those women feel. I do think that every child is innocent and should not have to be blamed for something they had no control over. Either way, I guess I do not have the right to butt into others' lives…that is one of my faults, I guess. My fiancé tells me that a lot…" The beautician chuckled. "Not always a bad thing. So, are we keeping the purple in the hair?" Oichi nodded. "Yes, but can you cut it down to my shoulders? Evenly?" The beautician nods. "Coming right up."

By the food area, Jess was there sipping on a Dr. pepper. She was on the phone with her uncle. She listened to him chuckle. "Jess, my darling niece. How are you today?" "Let's skip the pleasantries uncle Jetter. I need you to collect some files on someone one." "Oh? I see. Who is it on?" He asked. "Her name is Tory Luisenbarn. She has a small child I think he was around 2 or 3. He has black hair and eyes that match hers." "Luisenbarn!? Are you sure?" "Yes, look I don't care how you get the info. If you need to hack the cameras, do it. Oichi wants the files." "Oichi!? Oh my, that is rare. I thought she did not care for my tactics. Tell me, does she still dislike me?" Jess rolled her eyes. "I'm sure she still hates you even though she doesn't like using that word. So maybe doing this for her will make her warm-up to you again…" "You think? I never meant to upset her. I was only trying to do what was best for you. It saddens me to think she hates me so much. Maybe I could send her a bottle of wine?" Jess sighs as she sips on her drink. "Well it's your own fault and Oichi has children now, I don't think sending her high-grade wine will do anything to make up for what you did." "What!? Little Oichi has children now!?" Jess chuckled. "Of course, she had children. A pair of cute twin girls and another on the way." "My, My, I never would have thought a shy child like her would come to terms of motherhood. I tried to get files on her to keep updated on her." Jess then frowned. "What!? You tried getting a file on her!? I told you that Oichi and her family were off limits!" He chuckled again. "No need to worry, it seems like I was block from digging up anything one her." She raises an eyebrow. "You got blocked? How? I don't think I've ever seen you get blocked by anything…" She hums out. "Oichi did say Dante had a way with hiding information." "Ah yes, Dante Yamamoto. A man that is known to have secrets behind his secrets. Even one such as I have issues keeping up with his…activities. Not that I spy on him or anything. So long as he does not place you in great harm." She sighs. "Whatever, can you please just do what I ask." She hangs up on him. Leaning back in her chair she dialed Ulquiorra's number.

At the house, Grimmjow was playing with Naomi and Alisha in the living room. Ulquiorra was holding Nova would was looking at them with a curious look. Naomi giggled as she grabbed Grimmjow's hair. "Dada!" Grimmjow chuckled. "Not so hard." Alisha was hitting his thigh with a toy. "Dada up! UP!" She says raising her hands. Grimmjow smiled and picked her up making her giggle. Ulquiorra heard his phone go off. Getting up he walked to the kitchen with Nova. He answered the phone. "Jess? Aren't you supposed to relaxing at the spa?" Jess giggled over the phone. "We are at the mall love. How are you and Nova?" "We are fine. Is there something wrong?" "Mmm…yes and no…Oichi got into it with some woman." "I see…is she harmed?" "No…more pissed off then anything. What happened and why hasn't she called Grimmjow?"

"Called Grimmjow for what?" Ulquiorra turned around to see Grimmjow holding the twins. Ulquiorra sighed. "Oichi had a stand off with a woman." Grimmjow frowned. "She did what!?" "Put me on speaker." Jess says. Ulquiorra did what he was asked. "Calm down Grimmjow. I was with her." "What the hell happen?" Grimmjow asked angrily. "I said calm down idiot. She is okay and she is in the hair salon getting her hair done. We will be home after we finish shopping." "Okay, okay what happened!?" Grimmjow asked again. Jess sighed. "We found a child in the store we were in. He looked lost so we took him to get some food. I left to find a guard to find his parents, so I do not know what Oichi and the child talked about. All I know is that, when I came back, we saw bruises on the boy and before we could report it the mother came she and Oichi argued, the child stopped it, and then they left." "What do you meant the child stopped it?" "He went back to his mother instead of staying with us, so you know how Oichi gets and I know how she feels…so she asked me to call my uncle to get some files on the woman." Grimmjow bit his lip. "Tell her to not get involved with that!? It's none of her…" "You know Oichi by now, she can't help but to jump into something like this and I agree with her. I'm not going to ignore this. I wanted to at least let Ulquiorra know but now that you know do not and I repeat do NOT yell at her for this!" Jess says. Grimmjow sighs. "Fine, whatever…but don't think this isn't something I'm going to talk to her when this day is over."

He stormed out of the kitchen. "I swear I can't even relax a day without worrying about her!" Jess chuckled. "I'm going to go, see you when we get back. Love you both bye!" She hangs up. Ulquiorra puts his phone into his pocket and walked back into the living room to see Grimmjow laying on the floor with the twins crawling all over him. He had a frown on his face. "No point in getting upset about her actions. Isn't that the reason why you feel in love with her? Her good heart." "That is one of the reason's but dammit, she gets involved with to, much sometimes and your girl isn't making it better either. They are supposed to be in the mall enjoying themselves not fixing other issues!" Nova started to get fussy. Ulquiorra grabs her bag from beside the chair. He grabbed her bottle and sat down to feed her.

"Oichi will have her way in the end. So, moving on, dinner plans?" "At the limestone. You need a ticket as proof of reservations which I have for the four of us. Once we eat we can head over to the hotel and you do your things and I do mind and we end with happy women." He sits up. "Dammit all…I swear that woman…" "Let it go. Jess was with her. You think she would let something happen to Oichi or her child." "Yeah I know, your woman and her gorilla strength can be useful sometimes." Ulquiorra shook his head while feeding Nova.

Hisagi was in his office sipping on some coffee. He called Florina and asked her for lunch, but she did not pick up. He wrote it off as her being busy at the flower shop. It was Valentine's day after all. There was a knock on his door, and it opened without him saying anything. Ikkaku, Renji, and Kira walked in. Hisagi frowns. "Can you at least wait till I say coming in?" Ikkaku takes a seat on the couch. "Where is Yumichika and Momo?" Renji took a seat in front of his desk along with Kira. "Momo is busy with paperwork." "Yumichika is busy as well. With his escort club getting weight he has been called out a lot." Hisagi puts his cup down. "So why are you all in my office." "To talk duh. Aren't you dating one of Oichi's sisters?" Ikkaku asked. "Yeah and?" "Well, Renji told us that you haven't even made it to second base yet!?" Hisagi raises his eyebrow and looks at Renji.

"You do know that talking about Flo is a serious offense to Oichi…I can't stop Grimmjow from kicking your ass if it comes down to it." Renji groans. "I can handle my own ass, plus, I wasn't trying to talk about her. I was just saying that it must suck that you can't get any on the regular." "So, this woman, she really won't have sex until she's married?" "Her name is Florina, and that is none of your business." "I'll take that as a yes. What are you going to do?" Kira asked. "What do you mean by that…" "I mean the Hisagi I know does get it on the regular…even when you were trying to get Oichi you never had an issue getting a woman. I am curious though. Why pick the sister that fends off sex?"

Hisagi was getting irritated. "It is none of your business and you are going to stop speaking about Flo like it's a damn sin to not have sex until marriage. If you have nothing else to talk about then you can remove your asses from my office." Renji crossed his arm. "No one is trying to diss on your girl. I just don't want you losing control over yourself and doing something you regret." "Yeah, like what you did to Oichi?" "That's old news. We got past that…" Renji says sighing. "Yeah, but it doesn't stop you from fantasizing about her." Renji's face started to get hot. "I do not fantasize about her!" Ikkaku let out a dry laugh. "Then delete that picture off your phone. The one where she cut her hair? The one you claimed to have deleted but put it right back on your phone?" Renji sinks in his chair. "It's not like that. I am over Oichi. She got a family. I got a family. Let's move on. We are here to talk about Hisagi."

Hisagi took a sip of his coffee. "I'm not like you Renji, unlike you I can actually keep it together. I will respect Florina's wishes and if she wants to wait then I'll wait as long as she wants. Sex isn't the only thing a relationship needs." The guys groan. "Come on Hisagi. Maybe this type of woman isn't for you." Hisagi glares at them making then shut up. "Let's get one thing straight. The last thing I need is for any of you idiots telling me about my dating life. I care about Flo and I love making her happy. Now for the last time change the subject or leave before I really get pissed." The men sigh. "Fine…Ikkaku tell us more about this escort club." Renji says.

At the mall, Oichi and Jess was walking back to Victoria Secrets to finish shopping. Oichi's hair was cut short to her shoulders. Jess giggled as she ran her fingers through it. "It's so cute! Grimmjow is going to freak!" Oichi chuckled. "My hair grows back fast and with the girls starting to pull on hair I don't want them to see my long hair as a play toy."

Jess chuckled. "I might get my hair cut." Oichi gasp. "What!? No! I love your red hair and the braid makes you super adorable!" Jess laughs with a blush on her cheeks. "Adorable really? What if I had short hair like yours." Oichi pouted. "mmmm…I guess you can look cute like that to." "Aw! Your so cute when you pout." The women enter the store. "So back to what we were doing before…what are we getting?"

Oichi rubbed her belly. "Maybe I shouldn't…I mean how attractive can I be with my tummy poking out…" Jess shakes her head. "Oh please, don't pull the BS on me. When you had the twins, you couldn't keep your hands off of Grimmjow. There is a maternity section so let's check it out." They were heading to the back until they heard squealing. "So sexy! Pinks is so your color!" Oichi stops. "I know that voice…" Jess stopped at well. "I agree! Let's get this one. Oh no! This one is even cuter!" "That was Izzy and that loud voice is…mama!?" They followed the voices to the back were the dressing room was. They stopped and eyes widen to see Florina blushing as she wore a floral lace garter lingerie set.

"OH MY GOSH! SO CUTE!" Oichi ended up yelling out. Florina and Izzy were startled by her and turned to see her and Jess. "Oichi!? Jess!?" Florina squeaked out and covered herself. Danni chuckled. "Hi sweetheart. Hi Jess. I guess you two are shopping for the same reason Flo is?" They walked to them. "Same reason?" Jess asked. Oichi looked confused. "What does that mean?" Izzy chuckled. "Flo decided to give it to Hisagi." Oichi frowned. "What?" She looked at Florina who looked down. "Flo…are you sure about this? You aren't being push by anyone to do this right?" Izzy frowned. "Who would push her to do that?" Danni also frowned. "Oichi…we should be supporting your sis at this time…it's her own decision. She came to me and we talked about it. She loves Hisagi and wants to give him her first time. There isn't anything wrong with that." Jess sighs. "Unless Hisagi turns out not to be the one…" She mumbled. Oichi nudged her. "I understand that mama. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off like I don't support her but, I just don't want her to be pushed into this. Flo…"

Florina gulps. "I-It's true…I…I um want to have this with Hisagi. No one pushed me into this and I made up my own mind. I really like him Oichi…love him…He is a very amazing man. Never once did he tease me or pick on me that I wanted to wait. He even supported it. I've never been happier with him and…and…if I want to give my first time to anyone it would be him…s-so…yeah…" Oichi smiles. "I see. Hisagi is a sweet guy. I'm glad you both are happy." She looked Florina up and down. "I don't think this will fit your first time though. It's sexy but you need something a little bit tone down so Hisagi won't pass out from your cuteness."

She looked around and smiled. "That one looks super cute. Izzy go grab it." Izzy nodded and rushed off. Danni chuckled. "All my baby girls all grown up. I'm so happy. Of course, Jess this means you to." Jess smiled. Izzy rushed back over. "Here! Flo try this on!" Florina nods and grabs it. Closing the door Danni turned back to Oichi. "If you get something for Grimmjow make sure you look at the back of the store in the maternity section. I spotted something that may blow his mind." Oichi giggled. "Thanks mama let's see how Flo looks first. I want her first time to be special. This outfit will help Hisagi see that she is serious." Danni nods. "That's what I said. Flo are you done?" "Y-Yes…"

The door opened and she walked out wearing a lace baby doll halter chemise lingerie set. Oichi smiled widen. "Perfect! You look so cute Flo!" Jess and Izzy nodded in agreement. Danni laughed. "Yes! I agree! Hisagi will love this!" Florina smiled. "You think so?" "Yes, you should also get your hair done and fix him a good dinner!" Danni says. "Yea but not to heavy. Some men can't perform well when they have a full belly." Oichi says. "Talking about Grimmjow?" Izzy says chuckling. "No, Grimmjow can perform well on an empty or full belly. I was talking about Renji. This one time I cooked him a large meal for his birthday. The idiot fell asleep while I was in the bathroom preparing." The girls laughed at her. "What an idiot." Jess says laughing. They laughed more until Florina changed back into her regular clothes.

"Izzy are you and mama here to shop to?" Oichi asked. "No, I have plenty stored up for Yushiro." Izzy says. Danni chuckled. "I'm fine as well. Shunsui doesn't need much to get up when it comes to me." They giggled at her. "Hey, does that mean we are getting another sibling soon?" Florina asked. Danni blushed slightly. "I think pass the age of having another child. I'm more excited to have more grandchildren eventually." The girls pouted at her. "Come on mom. Having another sibling wouldn't hurt…" Oichi says. "You all are so cute, but I do not see another child in my future, and I doubt children are the last thing on Shunsui's mind. However, I wouldn't mind having a mini Shunsui running around." She sighs and rest her cheek on her hand. "Even if I did have another child you girl wouldn't think it's weird? I mean your kids would be older than him or her."

"So what?" Izzy says. "If you end up having another baby, we would love him or her just the same. Age doesn't matter between us when it comes to that." Oichi nods. "If having another baby with Mr. Shunsui makes you happy then we are happy for you." "Awww…you all are just adorable but, don't hold your breath. If it happens it happens, if it doesn't it don't. Okay? Now let us get Flo to the hair salon and figure out what she is going to cook for her man." Once they went their separate ways, Oichi and Jess headed to the back and started looking for their own outfits.

A few hours past, and Jess and Oichi were on their way home with the back set and trunk filled with bags. Reaching the house, they saw Nel's and Ichigo's care parked in the driveway. "Looks like the babysitters are here." "Ah, I have to go back and pack some things for Nova, take a shower, get things ready, ugh…" Oichi chuckled as she parked the car behind Nel's. "You will have plenty of time silly but while Ichigo is here I'll have him bring my bags in from your car." They giggled and got out. Walking to the door, Oichi unlocked the door and walked in. They saw Grayson rushing past to the living room before they heard him gasp. "Auntie!" They heard him yell. Oichi giggle as they watch him run back and run towards her. "Hi Gray." "Auntie I take sissys! I'll be good boy! Help mama!" Oichi smiles. "I know you will sweetie. Make sure you help your mom take very good care of the twins okay?" Grayson nods and runs back into the living room.

Oichi walked in behind him with Jess and saw Ichigo holding Nova. "Wow…every time I see her, she looks just like Jess. It's a bit scary really." Jess pouted. "Your son looks like your twin to dummy." Ichigo chuckled and turned to her. "My bad. How was the trip?" "Great, can you bring my bags in before you leave with Jess?" "Sure." He handed Nova back to Ulquiorra and got up. Nel was sitting on the couch holding Alisha who had a pouty look on her face. "Aw man…Oichi…Alisha no longer likes me." Oichi chuckled. "I was told at the wedding that you and Harribel agreed for her to the Godchild of Harribel." Nel sighs. "She's spent more time with Harribel more then me so it shouldn't be a surprise I guess…but still I didn't think she would not like me so much." Alisha saw Oichi and reached out for her. "Mama! Mamaaa!" She started to get upset. Walking over to her she took Alisha from Nel.

Nel sighs "Maybe I shouldn't babysit the twins…" Oichi shook her head. "You will be fine Nel. As long as you keep her attention else where she will be fine. Grayson is great with that. Gray come here." Oichi says. Grayson ran to her. "Sissy!" Alisha looked down and giggled at him. "See. You will be fine and please remind your boy toy to watch his mouth around my daughters." Nel nods. "I already told him and enforced that in his brain." "Thank you Nel." Oichi says smiling.

Grimmjow walked down the stairs with the twins, bags and Naomi in his arms. She was fussing in his arms. He sighs. "Come on now…" Oichi frowned. "What's wrong with Naomi?" "I'm not sure actually…she's been fed, she's not wet, maybe she's fighting sleep…" Oichi handed Alisha back to Nel and walked to Grimmjow. "Come here sweetie." Naomi started to cry as Oichi took her. She bounced and rocked her. "It's okay Naomi, don't cry." Naomi rubbed her eyes and snuggled up to her chest. "Hmm…I think she knows we are leaving for the night. If you think about it we never left her or Alisha for this long I guess." Grimmjow put the bags down. "Okay, so what do we do…cancel plans?" Oichi hums out. "…No…but…" She looks at Nel. "Nel…" Nel sighs. "I know, it might be better any ways. Would it be okay if Grayson stayed with them? I'd like a little peace for the night at least." Oichi nods. "If that's what you want." "What are you planning?" Grimmjow asked. "Instead of the girls leaving here I can ask Harribel to come watch them. They are more comfortable around her and, they can also watch Nova if that's okay with Jess and Ulquiorra?" Jess looks at Ulquiorra. "I had already asked for the boy to do it but it is your decision." Jess smiles. "Let's wait til Ichigo comes back in with the bags."

On that note, Ichigo walked back in with a bunch of bags and sighs. "Man Oichi…you really went all out." Oichi giggled. "My man said I could go all out for today and tonight as well." She says finally calming Naomi down. Grimmjow smirked. "Tonight huh?" "No peeking, I want that promise dinner." Grimmjow chuckled and then noticed her hair. "You…cut your hair…" Oichi runs her fingers through short hair. "Yeah…I thought it would be nice to change it up…do you like it?" Grimmjow hums out. "Its okay. I like your long hair though." Oichi frowns. "Don't be a jerk." Nel says rubbing her belly. "How am I being a jerk!? I like her hair either way. She's cute mixed with a sassy sexiness." Oichi bit her lip but couldn't help but to let a giggle escape. "Sassy Sexiness?" She started to laugh. "What does that even mean?" Grimmjow chuckled. "You will find out later tonight."

Jess shook her head. "I don't see what she sees in him sometimes. Ichigo? We were talking about who to watch Nova. Oichi is going to ask Harribel to watch the twins since it seems they may have a fit if Oichi leaves…" Naomi started to cry all over again. "Way to go Jess…" Grimmjow says sighing. Jess frowns. "Sorry…" Oichi rolled her eyes. "Not your fault Jess. Its ours for spoiling them to much." She walked to the kitchen to calm Naomi back down. Ichigo chuckled. "She's a sharp baby so want to leave Nova here?" Jess nods. "If that is okay with you and Orihime. I know Ulquiorra asked you to look after her." "It's fine. We were just going to watch a movie and what not. With Kazui running around not much, we can really do." Jess chuckled. "I see. Thank you then." Ichigo nods. "I'll take these bags to the room and head out then." Grimmjow frowned. "Hold it berry, who told you that you can enter my room." Ichigo glared at him. "I told you to stop calling me that." Oichi peaked out of the kitchen. "Grimmjow leave him alone. Ichi in the room please. Thank you." She says returning to Naomi. Ichigo smirked at a frowning Grimmjow and headed upstairs.

"Then it's settled, do we need to go home and get anything?" Ulquiorra got up. "Yes, we can meet Grimmjow and Oichi at the restaurant." Jess nods and walks to the kitchen where Oichi was bouncing Naomi. "There you go. See, you don't have to cry. Your auntie Harribel is coming over to play with you while me and daddy are gone okay." Naomi sniffed rubbing her eyes. Jess smiled. "Is she okay?" "Yes, she hears mommy and daddy leaving and she cries her eyes out. I mean, its not like we have left them long so I understand but I can't help to wonder why she's fussy now…" Jess walked up and rubbed Naomi's belly. "Aw, she's just missing her parents before they walk out the door. The older they get the quicker the realize. Me and Ulquiorra are leaving and we will meet you at the restaurant." Oichi nodded. "I also talked to my uncle. He is getting the files you wanted. He also asked about you." Oichi frowned. "Why would Jetter possibly ask about me…" "He wanted to know if you still didn't like him and wanted to send you some wine." Oichi rolled her eyes. "Wine isn't going to make up for him taking you away." Jess rubbed her back. "I know, but at least he is trying right?" Oichi sighs. "I suppose…" Jess hugged her and poked Naomi's cheek making her giggle a bit. "Don't dwell on it. Let's have fun tonight. I'll see you at dinner." She then left with Ulquiorra and Nova.

Oichi walked out to see Grayson playing with Alisha on the floor. "Gray can Naomi play to?" Grayson smiled. "Yes! Here sissy!" He says holding his arms out. Oichi chuckled and sat Naomi down. Grayson frowned. "She sad…" He reached out and held her hand. "No more crying sissy. We play and have fun!" Naomi smiled and giggled. Alisha clapped her hands. "Hi! Hi!" Nel and Oichi chuckled at this.

At the hotel, Ben whistles. "Wow…that Oichi woman sure is something." He tosses the camera back to Vega. "I mean, you pick up a kid that doesn't belong to you, feed him, and then argue with the mother of that said child. Ha! I can see why Grim is so into her." Lexton pushes his glasses up. "Well we got a little proof, but it isn't enough." Vega frowned. "It's not." "Of course not. You only got pictures of just the arm. That could be anything to a judge. We need more then that. A lawyer could say that Grims woman just overreacting because of her pregnancy hormones. We need actual pictures or even our brother to speak about what she did to him." Amanda was pacing. "Whatever! Just get my little brother out of that woman's hands! We all know she's been abusing him and without dad there she's going buck wild! I want Kenny out of that freaking house!" Shelia frowned and looked down. "…We all got out of there before Kenny was born…I didn't know I had a little brother, or I would have taken him. She must have done it out of desperation for father…"

Ben sighs. "I told you we should have gotten rid of her." "You did but then we wouldn't have two sisters and a brother." "Well now what? Doing this was your idea. It failed." Lexton crosses his arms. "As the older brother you should be coming up with these ideas but let's use the woman. Grim's woman. The red hair girl next to him. She's a member of that Mikcloud family." They looked at him. "Mikcloud?" Ben says. He hums out and snaps his fingers. "Ah! The Mikcloud family. I remember father talking about them. The pain in the ass family descendant as Scottish royalty or whatever. All that matters is that their authority don't reach this far. I remember father didn't get along to well with that man, Jetter? Was that his name?" Lexton nodded. "The current head of that family, the red head must be related to him somehow as for Grim's woman her last name is…very particular." Amanda stomps her feet. "Okay! So what about her!? Who cares who is from where and last names, how will we get Kenny back!"

Ben walked over to her and rubbed her head. "Easy sis. What we are getting at is that those two can pull some strings to get Ken out of this. While I kinda hate the Mikcloud family and their name and everything they stand for, they are useful." He smirked. Lexton pushed his glasses up. "I have some connections overseas. They may need a tip or some sort to help with getting files on our dear mother. I'd hate for them to have missed anything." Shelia sighs. "If…we do get Ken back then what…he doesn't know us and how will we take care of him when we have our own lives to focus on. Brothers have to go back overseas to work and we have school…its not like dads associates are helping us live a better life…no offense to you Vega." Vega nods. "It is alright. You are not wrong. We do not have the skills to help you in growing. We are mere guards who will do anything you wish." Shelia rolled her eyes. "See what I mean. Who will watch Kenny?"

Amanda raised her hand. "I will! I can take care of him." Shelia frowned. "You don't even know how to fix you own breakfast. This woman Oichi. I want to know more about her. If she cared so much about Kenny, then maybe she can look after him? Can we have files pulled on her?" Vega shook his head. "I am afraid not. Her records are cleaned, sealed, and locked. Her father made sure of that. Dante Yamamoto." Lexton and Ben looked at him. "That Dante? I didn't know he had children?" "He has 2 blood children and 2 adopted children as far as we know, and they are all untouchable. All we can tell you is how she came to be associate with Grimmjow and anything up to date that we know of." Ben hums. "Fine…start and don't leave any details out."

At the center, Hisagi was working on some paperwork. He had finally gotten Renji and the others from out of his office. His phone was on his desk. Around this time Florina would have called so they could meet up for lunch. 'I wonder what's keeping her…maybe she is still busy?' He frowned and looked at his phone. "She wouldn't miss our lunch break together on purpose." Grabbing his phone, he went to his contacts and went to Florina's name, that had a bunny emoji beside it. Right as he was about to call her, his phone rings. He smiles to see Florina's name. He quickly answered on the second ring. "Hey, I was about to call you." "Hi, Hisagi. I'm sorry for calling late. I was with mama and Izzy." "It's no problem. Are you coming for lunch or are you going to be with them for the day?" "I'll be with them today. Sorry…" "No need to be sorry. I can find lunch here. Have fun today." "HeeHee. Thank you. Also, um…would you like anything special for dinner tonight? It is Valentine's day after all." "Hmm… I don't have anything in mind. Whatever you make I'll love it." "Okay, then I have a gift for you." "You do?" "Mhm!" "What is it?" "It's…h-hey! No fair!" Hisagi chuckled. "My bad." "Hmmf…it's a surprise and you will get it after dinner tonight." "Then I can't wait to see it. Anything from you will be special." "D-Don't say that…" "I can't wait to see you at dinner then. Enjoy your mother and sister." "Thank you! See you at home." She hangs up. Hisagi sighs. "Well, I wonder what she will get." He opened his desk drawer and pulled out a bunny wrapped gift. "I hope she likes mine as well."

The door to the manor kicked opened and Tory walked in irritated. She had bags in one hand and she was dragging Kendric who was still thinking about the food he was giving earlier. Tory kicked the door closed with her foot and dropped her bags. She dragged Kendric up to his room and threw him on the bed. "Do you think what you did was funny!" She yelled. Kendric frowned and looked down. "How dare you walk off with another person! I told you to stay put in that damn store! I don't work this hard to get this outfit for you to be hanging around with strangers!" She grabbed his arm and flipped him over. Kendric's eyes widen as he felt hard strikes on his back and on his butt. He tears up but doesn't make a sound. "I have had it with you! Your dinner is getting cut tonight!" When she was done hitting him, she tore all off his clothes. "You don't deserve to wear these clothes. You are a bad boy! A horrible boy! I swear if you face didn't look like your father I would have already…" She closed her eyes and tossed his clothes in the trash. Kendric curled up and held in his cries in. Tory ran her fingers through her hair. "I don't have time for this. Mikey is coming to take me out tonight. I plan to use him as much as I can to get his money. Once I blead that idiot dry I can live my life like I was meant to do."

She grabbed Kendric by his hair and pulls him into the closet. Along the way she grabs a few old rags of clothes. "You will stay in this closet and keep your mouth close. I don't want to hear a peep from you or else…" She pushed him in along with the clothes and slammed the door. She grabbed a key and locked it. "Spoiled brat. To think you would really walk off like an idiot. It's sad that you share your fathers' blood." She walks out the room slamming the door and locking it as well. In the closet. Kendric sniffed as he put on his clothes. He crawled to the corner of the wall and curled up in a small blanket. "Auntie Chi…" He mumbles out.

As the evening approached, Oichi was in the room getting ready for their dinner date. She was wearing a dark blue, v neck, maternity dress with black flats. She rubbed her belly just as it started to grumble. 'We are getting hungry huh…' She looked at herself in the mirror and rand hair fingers through her hair. On the bed was a bag that she got from the store and blushed. "I hope he likes it…then again if I come out just naked, I'm sure he'd like that to…" She pouted. The door to the room opened and Grimmjow walked in wearing a dark blue suit that matched her dress. She turned to him with a frowned. "You pervert!" She snapped. Grimmjow simply chuckled. "Thank you. Must have been thinking some pretty dirty thoughts about me." Oichi huffs out. "I was not…maybe I was…doesn't matter…" She turns around and went back to playing with her hair. "Uh huh. Are you ready?" She stands up and grabbed the bag. "Yeah." Grimmjow looked her up and down. "No, you're not." Oichi raised an eyebrow and watched him walk to his side of the bed. He opened the drawer and pulled out two boxes. "I thought I was forgetting something. Then I remembered my woman does not like wearing make-up. Not that you need it." He walked back to her and handed her the gifts. "A present." Oichi sits the bag on the bed and opens the first box. Her eyes widen to see a beautiful dark blue, heart shaped pendant with a pair of earrings to match. "Oh my! Grimmjow! T-This is so beautiful!" Grimmjow took it and placed it around her neck.

"I know you don't like a lot of jewelry, but I couldn't resist getting this for you. If you want, you can just wear it on special nights like this." Oichi smiles brightly and opened the other box that also had a matching bracelet and ankle bracelet. She giggled. "Are you trying to spoil me!?" "Yes, If you give me the chance." He grabs the ankle bracelet and drops to a knee. While he placed the bracelet on his ankle, she put on the wrist bracelet and earrings. He stood back up and took a step back. "Now! You look ready to go." Oichi giggled and grabbed her bag. They walked down the stairs and into the living room to see Harribel holding Alisha and Nova. Ulquiorra had brought her back over once they got her bag packed for tonight. Grayson and Naomi were on the floor playing with toys. "Harribel, thank you so much for watching the kids." "It's no trouble at all." "Where are your three dolts at?" Grimmjow asked. "Sealing the deal on a new place for us." Oichi smiled. "I'm a little sad to see you leave but I'm happy you found a spot for you and the girls. Please remember that you are always welcome here." Harribel smiled. "Thank you." Grayson looked up and his eyes widen at Oichi. "Auntie pretty!" Oichi giggled. "Aw, thank you sweetie. Now be good and watch over your sisters okay?" Grayson nods.

She walked over to Naomi who smiled up at her. "Mama!" Oichi picked her up and kissed her check. "You be good okay. We will be back soon." Naomi giggled as she was placed down. She grabbed Alisha and kissed her cheek. "Don't cling to your God mom to much okay." Alisha smiled as she was handed back to Harribel. Nova looked up at her and smiled. "You want a kiss from auntie to?" Oichi rubbed her cheeks. "Man…you look so much like your mom! It's to cute!" She picked Nova up and kissed her cheek making her wiggle in her hold. Oichi looked down and saw sparkles in Nova's eyes. It made her laugh. "So cute." She handed Nova back. "If you need us just give us a call. Jess said she made a list of things for Nova if she starts to get fussy. Nel is also on speed dial so if you need a hand call her." Harribel nodded. Grimmjow looked at his watch. "Oichi let's go before we are late." "I'm coming." "Bye auntie! Bye daddy!" Grayson says waving.

"Bye sweetheart." Oichi says as Grimmjow helped put her jacket on. She grabbed her purse, he grabbed the keys and they headed out to dinner.

At Jess's, she and Ulquiorra were getting ready to leave as well. Jess was wearing a beautiful black deep V hanging neck collar, fittings dress with a slit on the side and black high heels to match. Her hair was down and curled slightly. Her make-up was done flawlessly. She was holding her bag and purse. Ulquiorra walked up fixing his cuffs. He had on a black suit with a green tie tucked in. He had their jackets in his hands and the keys. "Ready?" Jess asked. Ulquiorra nodded and glanced down at the bag. Jess moved it from his eyesight. "No peaking. You will have to wait and see at the hotel." Ulquiorra let out a small irritated sigh that made her giggled. It made her happy that only she could see this side of him. "Let's go." He says.

At Ichigo's and Orihime, Renji and Rukia had come over with Ichika. In the kitchen Orihime was making dinner while Ichigo and Renji were in the living drinking a beer. Rukia was upstairs with the children. "You two had nothing better to do?" Ichigo asked sighing. "We did but with Ichika running around everywhere it's hard to get some alone time." "Okay, she has an uncle that spoils her. Could have taken her there?" "We tried but surprisingly he is busy tonight." "Whoa…that is shocking." "Yeah, one of the employee's got caught up in a scandal and he wanted to personally fix this, so the division doesn't fall behind. Then we were going to see if Oichi wanted to watch her, but she is on a date. Therefore, we came here. At least our kids can keep each other company." "I suppose that is true. Sheesh, if it was going to be like this, I should have done what Grimmjow and Ulquiorra did and plan a double date or something." Renji chuckled. "Na, they kinda owe the girls a night of pampering. I think we are set. A good dinner, the kids play and tire themselves out, and we can enjoy a movie or something. I call that a pretty good night right?" Ichigo rolled his eyes. "Sure if that's what you want to call that…"

Florina was in the kitchen cooking. She was making Italian sausage with onions and peppers. Hisagi was going to be a bit late with some work that he got at the last minute. Izzy had already left to go to Yushiro's place. She was nervous about tonight. What if Hisagi didn't take her serious and rejected her. Danni told her that she would beat the hell out of him, but she was really hoping it didn't come to that. She rubbed her cheek. 'A baby with Hisagi…' "I wonder how that will play out." Her heart skipped a beat thinking about it. Shaking her head, she went back to cooking.

At the limestone roadhouse, Grimmjow, Oichi, Ulquiorra, and Jess were just arriving and giving their keys to the valets. Oichi had her arm wrapped around Grimmjow and Jess was holding Ulquiorra's hand. They made their way to the door cutting the waiting line and was greeted by Ashido himself. He smiled at Oichi. "You must be Oichi, Danni's daughter." Oichi nods. "I am…um…have we meet?" "Only when you were a baby. My name is Ashido and I am the owner of limestone. Your mother was a dear friend of mine in the military and I promised her that if her children ever came to eat here, I would personally take care of them." Oichi smiled. "How nice of you! Thank you so much!" Grimmjow held up his tickets. "So were these things worthless?" "I'm afraid so, since I will be seating you but, I can give you your money back or you can save those tickets for another time? I can reschedule them." Oichi nods. "Ooo! That works! Can you do that please?" Ashido nods and takes the tickets. "Follow me to the waiting section and I'll get your tables ready. I wouldn't want you to stay on your feet." "Thank you so much Ashido!" Oichi says.

They followed him inside and was led to a room where others were waiting to get seated. Oichi let out a grunt as she sat down on a comfortable bench. She rubbed her belly. Jess sat beside her. "How are you feeling?" "Hungry…but not to hungry to rip someone's head off?" Jess laughs slightly. "I have some snacks in my purse in case it gets to that." "Aw thanks!" She glanced around. "This place must make a killing." "How much were the tickets?" "Don't worry about it. It's good they didn't go to waste." Grimmjow says putting his hands in his pocket. "Hmmm…" Oichi then spotted her brother standing up. "Hey! It's Mikey!" Jess looked where she was looking. "Wow. It is." Grimmjow frowns. "Yo Mike!" He says waving. Mikey heard this and saw them. Smiling, he walked over. "Hey sis. On a date?" "A double date!" Oichi says. "Nice, did you meet Ashido? Pretty cool dude. I thought he was just doing it because I was dating one of his employees. Didn't know he knew Danni, nor did I think he'd view me as her kid." Oichi nods. "Mom does see you as the son she never had. She only hates papa." Mikey laughs. "Seems like it." "You said your dating one of his employees? You don't mean Tory do you?" Mikey nods. "Who is Tory?" Oichi asked giggling. "Just a chick I'm trying to wine and dine. It's a favor for Yumichika." "What's she like?" Jess asked. "Well, she's…how to put it…" "A lying, backstabbing, abusing, bitch." Grimmjow says. "Grimmjow!" Oichi says frowning. "She's the widow of Barragan." Ulquiorra says.

Jess and Oichi's eyes widen at hearing this. They both looked back at Mikey who shrugs. "I had no clue either until they told me. Still haven't found any sighs of a kid living in that manor of hers." "Trust me, he is there. He goes to the daycare with Grayson and the others." "Wait…this Tory woman she couldn't be…" Oichi starts to say. "Mikey!? Where are you?" Oichi felt her blood start to boil. She recognized that voice and so did Jess. "Over here, just chatting with my sister." "Ooo!? I didn't know you had a sister!" Tory walked over wearing a stunning, golden dress with a low cut and slit on the side. Her hair was done and dyed light brown. She also had make up and her nails done with some expensive looking jewelry on.

She smiled until she saw Oichi. Both narrowed their eyes. Oichi stood up quickly. "YOU!" They both yelled. Some people turned their heads over to them. "THIS woman is your sister!" Tory yelled. "This woman is your DATE!" Oichi yelled at Mikey. "Wait a minute. Calm down a second." Mikey says holding his hands up. Oichi then pieced something together. "Oh my…are you hiding Kendric from Mikey!?" Tory bit her lip. Mikey looked at her. "I was told you didn't have kids." Tory sent a death glare to Oichi. "My son is none of your concern! I told you that at the mall! Mind your damn business!" "Your standing there in expensive clothes and crap and yet you can't even feed your own son! You are such a distasteful woman! How dare you try to trick my brother with your lies!" "I told you to mind your business!" "My brother is my business!" Oichi says. Marching to her with overflowing anger.

Grimmjow grabs Oichi's arm. "Oichi that's enough." "What!? It is not enough!" "Listen to your man girl." Tory says with a smirk. "You shut up to." Grimmjow says frowning at Tory. She frowned back at him. "Oichi, you gotta calm down." "But…" "Think about the baby…" Grimmjow says placing a hand on her stomach. "If you get to emotional you are going to hurt yourself and the baby okay?" Oichi bit her lip but nodded. Jess grabbed her hand and sat her back down. Mikey looked at Tory. "So you have children." "I…I have a son okay. I just thought you wouldn't be with me if I had children." "Let's cut the bull." Grimmjow says. "I don't need you ruining my night with my girl. He knows you have kids and don't try to lie we know you very well. Your using him for money aren't you." Tory avoid the looks.

Ashido rushed back over with a few employees with him. "Is everything alright over here? I heard yelling." He looked at Tory. "Tory…please tell me you aren't cause trouble even on your day off." Tory looked at him. "I am not! That girl is hassling me, and she needs to mind her business!" Mikey sighs. "That girl is my sister. I am going to ask you only once to stop disrespecting her. Your own lies got you into this mess." "Okay so I lied about my kids. What difference does that make!? It's not a big deal!"

"It is when you can't even account for your own son." Jess says. "Let us all calm down. Tory…Oichi is a welcome guest of the woman you also insulted months ago." Tory eyes widen and looked at Oichi. "This is Danni's daughter and her son." "You…You both are related to that woman!" "If mama was here, she'd knock you into next week…" Oichi says sighing. Mikey rubbed his head. "Not related to Danni by blood but she did take care of me. I am tired of this. I'm leaving." "Wha…What!? You cannot leave! We have a date!" "I'm more concern with the child you left home alone…" He looked at Oichi. "I'll call you later sis. I'm sorry if I've upset you." Oichi smiled softly. "It's okay…" Mikey grabbed Tory's arm. "Let's go, I would like to meet this son of yours." "What!? Why!? We had a date! Unhand me!" Tory yelled as Mikey dragged her away.

"Oichi are you alright?" Ashido asked. "I am…I'm deeply sorry for causing a scene. I usually can keep my composure." Ashido smiled. "It is alright, Tory isn't a person you can handle with calm feelings. She is quite a handful. Why don't we get you seat so you can eat and take a load off from this unsettling event?" Oichi nods. "Thank you." Grimmjow took her hand and helped her up. Ulquiorra felt Jess wrap her arm around his. She was on her phone. They followed Ashido to the back of the restaurant where the windows were. It gave them a clear view of the sky. They table was decorated with red and blue colors and a wine bottle, a pitcher of ice water, and fresh bread and butter was sitting in the middle of the table.

"Here you are." Grimmjow pulled a chair out for Oichi and pushed her in. She went straight for the bread. Jess and Ulquiorra also took their seats. Ashido handed out menus. "I'll give you a moment to look through the menu and Ill be back for your drinks and your starter meals." He left to help another table. Grimmjow watched as Oichi stuff her face with bread and butter with a sad look in her eye. He grabbed her hand. "Don't beat yourself over what happened." Ulquiorra pored her a glass of water. "Tory Luisenbarn…she is a sad and cunning woman who is trying to live off her husband name. You shouldn't get rattled by her." "How. After seeing Kendric today and how he nearly destroyed all his food like he hasn't eaten at all and then seeing her buy new clothes and stuff for herself…" She starts to tear up. "How can she just neglect her own son like that…all for money?" Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she ate. "How could any mother care more about herself then her children? You heard her. She cared more about the stupid date with Mikey then Kendric."

Grimmjow held her hand tightly. "Oichi…" "I'm going to take care of it." Jess says. They looked at her. "My uncle can have everything on her within a week. I know you both want us to mind our business, but you can't expect us to just sit back while we have the resources to do something about it." Grimmjow and Ulquiorra looked at each other. They both sighed in defeat. Grimmjow kissed the back of Oichi's hand. "Alright, we get it. I happen to be a little close with one of her brats. I can talk to him and see what we can do." "She has more kids?" Oichi asked. "In total she has 5 but, the other four are grown and cut contact with her. I don't even think they know they had another sibling. Now, that we have that settle, let's enjoy dinner and not let this ruin our night?" Oichi smiled and nodded. Grimmjow grabbed a napkin and cleaned her face. She grabbed it from him and. "I can do it…thank you hunny." Grimmjow reached out and rubbed an extra tear out of her eye. "Anything for you babe."

"In truth…I'm more worried about Mikey." Oichi says. "Why is that?" Grimmjow asked. "…Mikey…takes it personal even more then me if a child is being abused…if he sees Kendric and notices the bruises, I shutter at the thought of what could happen to Tory…" Jess frowns. "He is still like that?" Oichi nods. "Yeah, I don't think he will ever get over that." "What happened to him?" Grimmjow asked. Oichi had a sad look on her face. "Like you know, Mikey isn't related to mama. Before my dad was with her, he was with another woman, Mikey's mother. When he was a child, he caught an awfully bad illness that had no cure so basically, he was on his death bed. Papa did everything he could to try to help him. He left the island for days and weeks even to find a cure or something to ease his pain. Even when he was gone he would try to call and checked on Mikey every day. His mother was suppose to be watching him but instead she didn't take care of him, hit him every time he tried to ask for food, and even told him that papa wasn't going to save his life…Then one day she just disappeared. She left Mikey and didn't tell anyone."

Grimmjow frowned as he took some bread and started to cut it in the middle. He scooped up some butter and put it in the middle before placing it on Oichi's plate. "That's harsh…what happened next?" He asked. "Luckily, my grandma came to check on him and found him. Papa was upset. If Mikey were left alone for one more day, he could have died. It was not an easy thought to process, and he sent out a warrant for Mikey's mom to be arrested and left her." Ulquiorra seemed interested in the story. "The illness your brother had, what was it?" "I'm not really sure. I know that it attacked his cells and made his body very weak." "So how did you dad find the cure?" Grimmjow asked. "Or does he still have it?" Ulquiorra asked. "He found the cure a few days later by using the dragon rose. Remember what I told you about it?" Grimmjow nods. "Yeah, something about how it has good healing properties? If that is true how come he does not smell like honey? Like you do?" "Mikey didn't bathe in it every day like I did. Papa made a potion of some kind out of it and he had to ingested it for a week before it started showing results. About a month after that he started getting better, eating, walking around, and soon, he was cured. Papa had the potion made and store within the medical labs in case more children caught what Mikey had."

Oichi bit into her bread. "I thought he would be to young to remember what his mom did, but he remembered all of it and I think it created a trauma maybe even a trigger. He has not had any contact with his mom and never talks about her. He cannot stand when he learns about child abuse. Sometimes he takes it way to far." Jess nodded. "I remember him breaking a guys arm because he hit his son one time…" Oichi shivered. "Yeah. I worry about him, but the result does help the children. If anyone can put Tory in her place it would be him but, I am not sure what he will actually do. Sometimes he can be an adorable cinnamon roll and then in a second, he becomes…someone different. Cold, emotionless, and it scares me. He is like a version two of papa…" Grimmjow shivered this time. "I deal with your dad enough times to know that's a bad thing." Jess chuckled. "That is true. One Dante is enough to deal with it." Oichi laughed. "Yeah. I have to agree with that statement."

Danni, Yoruichi, Shunsui, and Kisuke were sitting at a bar drinking together. "Aw! So little Flo is ready to become a woman!" Yoruichi says. She started chugging her drink. Danni laughed. "I know! It was so cute seeing her so flustered! I'm so excited!" She also started chugging her drink. Shunsui and Kisuke chuckled at the woman as they drink. "Looking forward to more children?" Kisuke asked. "Grandchildren. Yes. Hisagi is kinda sexy. He has some good genes and Florina is just so adorable! I'll get cute grandbabies just like with Oichi and hopefully one day Izzy." Danni says nudging Yoruichi. "Haa…I suppose having a niece or two wouldn't hurt. My brother is already annoying but being with Izzy has mellowed him out to be somewhat tolerable." Danni laughs. "Damn straight! My girls are amazing when it comes to changing a man!" Shunsui was frowning. He was following the conversation up until the point where Danni said Hisagi was sexy.

Kisuke chuckled at his frown. "Oh Danni. I think you might have upset someone over here." Danni looked at Shunsui. "I did? What did I do?" She asked with concern. "Calling another man Sexy while you got a hunk like me over here." Shunsui says sighing. Danni chuckled. "Okay? It's not like I'm heading over to hop in bed with him. I'm only doing that with you." Shunsui smirked. "Really now?" "Duh, why would I make the effort of taking my daughter's man when I have a man who is in fact a hunk, right his beside me." Shunsui laughs. "I love it when you flatter me so openly." Yoruichi rolled her eyes. "Enough of the love stuff, let's drink! Danni! Take me on!" Danni raised her eyebrow. "You sure you want to take me on? Last time it didn't end so well." "Bahhh! The past is the past. We are celebrating Valentine's day. The guys can keep count, take us home, and then tell us who won in the morning! Are you in? Of course, you are. Hey bar keep we are going to need a few of your bottles!" She got up and went to the bar. Danni sighs. "Making decision for me again I see." "Hey, you two plan on having kids?" Kisuke asked. Danni glared at him slightly. Shunsui chuckled lightly. "I honestly haven't thought of that. I wasn't even sure I was going to get Danni so I'm just kind of making my way as I go." Danni looked at him. "My girls asked me about that today. They seemed more excited to have another sibling." "Oh? What did you say?" "I told them I wasn't thinking about having another child." "Ah…" Shunsui says a bit down. "…but…whatever happens, happens. If you think about it, we are playing Russian roulette." Danni could see happiness light up in Shunsui eyes and it made her blush. 'Looks likes that answers any questions about having kids…' Yoruichi came back and slammed the bottles down on the table. "Danni! You should open a bar!"

Danni raises her eyebrow. "What brought this on?" Yoruichi chuckled. "I just though it would be cool for you to run your own nightclub. Then we wouldn't have to keep coming here and buying out their store you know." Danni hums. "I guess I could if I decided to retire from the military. Then having a nice nightclub would be nice." Yoruichi smiled. "Great! I agree and I already know where you can put it, the name, and everything. I have connections you know." Danni chuckles while she opens a bottle. "It seems you already planned out another stage in my life. I hate it but its one of your best qualities that I love about you." Yoruichi smiled and held up her glass. "Cheers! Let's drink the night away!"

Hisagi rubbed the back of his neck as he walked in the house. The smell of sausage filled his nose. "Mmm…smells good in here." He hung his coat up, took his shoes off and dropped his keys. He walked to the kitchen to see Florina humming as she set the table. She had put a red tablecloth on the table with a candle lit in the middle. A bottle of wine and two glasses. The plates were set, and the food was on the stove settling. Florina was wearing a cute pink top and a pair of black leggings. Her hair was down in a single ponytail. "Looks nice in here." Florina looked up and smiled brightly. "Welcome home!" She skips around the table and hugged him. He hugged her back and kissed her forehead. "Thank you. Sorry I was so late. I'm glad your cooking won't go to waste." Florina pulled away. "Did you want to get changed first? I can start setting out the food." "That would be lovely. I'll be back in a second." He heads upstairs to the room.

Florina turned around and takes a breath. "I didn't cook a lot so his stomach should be fine. We can drink a little wine, then I led him upstairs for his surprise." She gulps as she started to get nervous. She shakes her head. 'No, I'm going to follow though.' She started to set the food up on the table. "Tonight, I'll give myself to him."

Izzy and Yoshiro were heading to the movies tonight for their date. They were walking hand in hand to the theater when they spotted Jinta and Yuzu standing in line. Izzy smiled brightly. "Yuzu!" She jumped hearing her name. "Izzy!? What are you doing here?" Izzy let Yoshiro's hand go and skipped to her. "I'm here on a date. What are you doing here? On a date with Jinta?" They both blushed. Yoshiro chuckled. "First date? Awesome Jinta." Jinta rubbed his head. "Just don't tell Ichigo or her dad. Did you know how hard it was to convince Karin to let me take Yuzu out." Izzy laughs. "She can be quite overprotective. What movie are you two going to see?" Jinta shrugs. "Some romantic comedy?" Yuzu giggles. "It's called Aroma of love." Izzy smiled. "Really!? We are seeing that to! Although Yoshiro picked it out." She locked arms with him. "Seat buddies?" Yuzu nods and grabs Jinta's hand who blushed. "Seat buddies!"

They got in line and waited a few minutes before getting to the counter. They got their tickets and walked in. The girls were excited about the movies, until they stepped into the theater. Izzy frowned as a sour smell ran across her nose. "Ew. What's that smell?" Jinta waved his hand. "Smells like cat piss mixed with rotten milk." Yoshiro gags. "Come on man don't say that. It makes the smell 10 times worse." Yuzu covered her nose as they made their way to food counter which had one person working. "Welcome. What can I get for you…" The employee says in a bored tone. Yuzu smiled. "Hi! Can I get a small popcorn, and blueberry slushie?" Jinta pointed to the candy inside. "Add a box of those gum drops in that order and a large root beer." The employee sighs as he put in their order. He went to the back and grabbed an old looking carton and stuff popcorn into it. He then grabbed two cups and started the automatic soda machine while he fixed the smoothie, sloppy like. He sat the food down almost spilling it. "14.95…" Jinta frowned at the mess. The popcorn looked like it was about to bust from below the bag and their drinks were leaking. "You expect us to pay for this slop? This isn't even worth buy!? Can you at least get a clean new bag for the popcorn?" "Take it or leave it brat…" The employee says. Jinta growled until Yuzu taps his arms. "It's okay Jinta. We can get some napkins and clean up on the stand over there."

Jinta frowned but nods. "Alright, if that's what you want." He took the money out his wallet and slammed it on the counter. After glare knifes at the guy, he and Yuzu went to stand to get napkins. Izzy frowned. "I don't know if I want anything from such a nasty looking stand." The employee rolled his eyes. "I don't have time for your complaining, buy something or move on." "You are a pretty rude guy…" Izzy says. "Can I just have a hotdog with chilly on it." "I'll pass on the snacks." Yoshiro says, watching a small mouse run in the back. "In fact, cancel that order. We can eat at home." He grabbed Izzy's hand. "Hey. I know the stuff looks nasty but…" "Trust me babe. You don't want to eat any of that. We can stop by the burger joint after the movie." Izzy hums out. "Okay. Let's hope the movie will be a better experience then the service here."

The door to Tory's manor slammed open and Mikey walk in dragging Tory in. She snatches away from him. "Mikey what is your deal!?" Mikey closed the door. "Where is your son?" "He isn't here!" "Don't lie to me anymore and don't make me angry please. Tell me where your son is?" "I told you he isn't here!" Mikey tilts his head and his eyes gave her a blank look. She shivered at the coldness in his eyes. "I see…" He lifts his hand and punched a hole in the wall. It made Tory scream slightly. She watched in shock as the crack from the hole started to spread outward. "I'm going to ask you nicely again…unless you want your house destroyed you will tell me where the kids is…or…" He walked up to her and held his hand near her throat. "Or…would you rather be destroyed?" Tory felt her heart drop. Fear ran through her body like a wave. Sweat started to run down her forehead. "O-Okay…" She said in a whisper.

Kendric was sleeping, curled up in a blanket. There was a bowl of water and an empty plate with crumbs in. The door to his room opened and Tory walked in with Mikey behind her. He flipped the light on. She walked to the closet and took out a key. "Hold it." She froze. Mikey grabbed her arm and took the key. "I don't need you to be giving him any signals to not talk to me." He pushed her away. He unlocks the door to the closet and looked down to see Kendric. He closed his eyes and returned to his normal self. Squatting down tapped Kendric a few times until he woke up.

Kendric yawns as he sits up. He rubs his eyes. Mikey notice a fresh bruise on his cheek. "Hey there." Kendric looked at him. "Hi…" "My name is Mikey. I'm Oichi's big brother." "Auntie Chi?" "Yes, I am Auntie Chi's big brother Mikey." Kendric smiled. "Hi! Auntie here?" "No, she sent me here to stay with you a bit. Are you hungry?" Kendric nods then frowned. "N-No…I been bad…no eat eat…" "Huh!? I see no bad boys here. How about we get you cleaned up, and some food in your tummy." He held his hand out. Kendric took it and Mikey picked him up. He frowned at how light he was.

Walking out Tory was near the door playing with her fingers. Mikey walked past her with Kendric and headed downstairs. Tory followed him. In the kitchen, Mikey sat Kendric on the counter and opened the fridge. The only thing in it was a carton of spoil milk. "Unbelievable…" He closes the fridge. "Tory. Get over here." Tory quickly went to his side. "Y-Yes?" Mikey took his wallet out and took some money out. "I want you to go to the store and buy food for Kendric." "Okay…" He grabbed her wrist tight making her gasp. He glared down at her. "You have 30 minutes. If you have not return, I will find you and you will be looking worse then your son over there. Understand?" "Y-Yes…I'll bring food back. I promise." "Good. Now go." Tory rushed out the kitchen. On her way to the door she felt her heart racing. It had been a while since someone made her feel this way. She'd forgotten how good it felt to be told what to do. To be demanded to do something. The cold look in Mikey's eyes excited her. Licking her lips, she made it to the door and ran out.

Rukia walked down the stairs and saw Renji in the kitchen with Orihime. Ichigo was on the couch picking out a movie. She went to him and sat down. "The kids are currently coloring upstairs. Kazui sure does have a lot of toys." "His mother, Godmother, and idiot grandfather buys him something every day. They are spoiling him rotten." Rukia chuckled. "Tell me Ichigo, did you ever think we all would have came this far with children?" He scratched his chin. "In due time it would have happened I guess." Rukia leans back into the chair. "I think I would like another child. What about you?" Ichigo shrugs. "Right now, I want to survive the terror that is my son." She chuckled and took the remote from him. "Let's watch something with some romance in it." "The hell?" He took the remote back. "That's going to be no. We are watching something that won't put me to sleep." "Come on Ichigo. It is a special night. Orihime would agree with me." "Then go bother her!" Ichigo held the remote up high so she could not reach. "Ugh! You are such a jerk sometimes." Rukia says pouting.

"Telling the world what we already know babe?" Renji says bring out plates of food. Ichigo rolled his eyes. "Shut up. What movie you guys want to watch?" Orihime came out the kitchen taking off her apron. "How about a romantic comedy? That way if the kids come down here they wont see anything to bad." Ichigo smiles. "That's a good idea. I can sit through something like that." Orihime smiled and pulled up the rolling trays and placed the trays on it. She had made porkchop, baked beans, and mash potatoes. "Oh the drinks. Are we drinking or sipping?" She asked. "Sipping for now." Renji says. "We do have to drive home." Orihime nodded and rushed to the kitchen to and brought back some bear foot and four glasses. She handed them out and gave Ichigo the bottle so he could open it. She sat down and sighs out. "A nice meal with good friends! What a night yeah?" Ichigo poured the glasses halfway. Renji found a movie and hit play. "I can agree with that statement."

At Nel's, she was relaxing on the couch that was placed in the nursery room. In her hand she had a list of baby names. Nnoitra was in the room painting and Tesra was downstairs cooking. The nursery was yellow and white to match her baby shower theme. In the crib there were four sets of owl stuff animals. The dressers and bookcases were covered in owl feathers. "Nel, where do you want this owl clock to go?" She looked up and pointed over the bookcase. "Thank you dear." She says flipping the page. "Did you find a name yet?" He asked moving the clock. "I told Oichi I found a name, but I didn't like it. So, no I haven't found a name yet.

Nnoitra hammered in a nail and hung the clock up. "Shouldn't you hurry up and pick a name? She'll be here in another 2 months right?" Nel frowned. "This is your daughter to! How about you help me pick out a name!" Nel says snapping at him. Nnoitra groans and snatches the book out of her hands. He flips through it and comes to a page that was bent back. "Here, damn…" Nel grabbed the book and saw a name that was circled. "Sophie? Oh my, that is a cute name! Why is it circled." "I circled it dumbass. I told you I had a name, but you did not want to hear it remember. That is the name I picked out. Your welcome." He walked out the room. Nel frowned and rubbed her belly. "Maybe I own him an apology…I didn't mean to snap at him." She sighs. "My dearest Sophie…once you get here I hope things will change for the better."

Back at Florina's house, she and Hisagi were cuddled up together on the couch. She was drinking a glass of wine while he had a beer. "Dinner was amazing. You did an amazing job." He says kissing her cheek. She giggled. "Thank you." She sat up. "Are you ready for you gift?" "I am but first yours." He held out the gift. She giggled at the wrapper. "Bunnies! So adorable!" She opened the gift and her eyes widen to see a beautiful necklace with a bunny head on it. It had her name engraved on it. "Wow! It's so beautiful!" Hisagi smiles. "I'm glad you like it." She kisses him on the cheek and back up a few inches. Hisagi cups her cheek gently and brings her in for a deep and passionate kiss. They parted for a second before going back to kissing. He takes her gift out of her hand and sits it on the stand beside the couch. It's also where his beer and her wine glass ended up.

He pushes her down on the couch and starts to rub his hips against hers. He could smell the sweet scent of strawberries lingering on her. His hands ran down her hip and grabbed her shirt. He suddenly felt her hands push against his chest. He didn't really want to stop but he broke the kiss and towered over her. Her face was flushed, and she was breathing hard. "W-Wait…I need to…give you your…gift…" He chuckled and sat up.

Florina sat up rubbed her chest. Her heart was beating out of control. "I am curious on what you could have gotten me." She glanced at him and grab his hand. "It's upstairs." They walked upstairs to her room. "I'll be right back. Sit on the bed please." Hisagi nods and sits down while Florina heads to the bathroom. "I wonder what it is…" He waited for a few moments before he started to get worried. "Flo? Are you okay in there?" "Y-Yes…" The door opened and she stepped out wearing the outfit she got today. She watched as his eyes grow wide. He looked her up and down. "F-Flo…what are you wearing?" She put her hands behind her back. "Your gift…is…um…me." Hisagi got up and went to her. He took her hands into his. "Flo, you don't have to force yourself to do this. Didn't you want to wait till you got married to do this?" "I did but, spending time with you and seeing how much you respected me when others would laugh or make fun of me…how…could I not fall in love with you." "Fell in love with me?" He asked. Florina nods. "I love you Hisagi and I want you to be my first…if you will have me?"

"Are…you sure? I want you to be sure. Has anyone put anything in your head that I was unhappy?" Florina frowned. "What? No! Are you unhappy with me!? D-Did I do something wrong? I thought…we shared the same feelings." She looked down with a hurt expression. "No, No, nothing like that…" He sighs and brought her to the bed and sat her down. "I'm happy that you want to give me your first time. What I won't be happy about is if I find out someone bullied you into doing this." "Why would you think someone bullied me into this?" Hisagi rubbed his head. "Renji and the guys came in today, talking about this…mainly made fun of me for waiting for you and all the sorts. I can handle that because I care about your feelings and support everything you do. However, I worry about you when I am not around. Who knows if people are trying to mess with you and put stuff in your head?"

Florina frowned. "Renji was talking about me…" She looked down and then smiled at him. "I promise you. I am the one who wanted this. I talked to mama about it and even though it went against what she taught me she supports me fully." Her hand slips from his and she moves to sits on his lap with a blush. "I'll say it again. I want you to be my first and if…um…you don't take me seriously; I'll tell mama and she will beat you up." Hisagi chuckled and wrapped an arm around her. "Okay, I believe you. Then thank you for this wonderful gift. I promise to be as gentle as I can with you. If you want to stop let me know okay?" Florina nods as he lays her down on the bed. "I love you Flo." She smiles sweetly. "I love you to Hisagi."

At the restaurant, Oichi and the others were enjoying their dinner. "You want to take the twins to the zoo?" Jess asked eating a piece of her steak. "Yes, I think that would be better then a party in the back yard. I think the girls will be thrilled to see all the cute animals there." Oichi says. Jess looks at Grimmjow. "What about you. I would have thought you would have disagreed with this." "What? Why would I?" Grimmjow asked sipping on a glass of wine. "I don't know. You are an overprotective bully when it comes to the girls. Some little boy might take a fancy to Naomi or Alisha and try to get close." She says with a chuckle. Grimmjow frowned. "That won't happen. My darling babies have noticeably short attention span just like their mother." Oichi raised her eyebrow. "I do not…I don't think I do…" She hums out. Grimmjow chuckled. "The twins will be so into this little zoo trip I doubt they will have time to be noticed by some jack rabbited boys." Jess rolled her eyes. "Sure." Oichi chuckled.

At the theater, Izzy was not happy. It smelled worse in the seating area. Poor Yuzu's popcorn ended up spilling though the bag all over her pants and Jinta got watery soda. There were only a few people in the theater, and they had the same disappointed face. "How am I suppose to enjoy the movie under these conditions…" "Yeah…it's hard to focus on the movie when the smell is terrible…how can I be romantic with you if I have to hold my breath." Izzy chuckled. "Wanna leave?" "Please? We should have just watched a movie at my place. Let's go get those burgers I promised you." Izzy smiled and turned to Yuzu. She was putting up a frontal smile, but Izzy could she was not enjoying herself. Jinta was frowning trying to contain the anger from such a run-down place and the fact that Yuzu's popcorn busted all over her. He wanted to go jack up the guy in the front, but he was talked out of it. "Why don't we invite Yuzu and Jinta? I will feel bad if we leave them here. This is their first date after all." "Sure, I don't mind." Izzy kisses his cheek. "Thank you. Yuzu, Jinta? Would you guys like to get out of here and get some burgers?" They looked at her. "Really? Aren't you two on a date?" "Bah, don't worry about it. Let's please get out of this trash bin. I don't want to carry this smell around me." Yuzu smiled and looked at Jinta. "What do you say?" He nods. "Yeah let's go before I wreak this place." Leaving their drinks and destroyed popcorn, they left the theater and headed to get some burgers together.

Back at the manor, Tory had came rushing back in with bags of food. "M-Mikey I'm back!" She says in panic tone. She put the bags on the table. "Good, now start cooking something for Kendric while I give him a bath." "What should I um cook him…" She says with a blush. Mikey gave her a disgusted looked that made her body heat up more. "What kind of question is that. You don't know what your son likes to eat…of course you don't. Trash like you don't think about anyone but yourself." He looked at Kendric. "Do you know what you want to eat Kendric?" Kendric rubbed his belly and then pointed at the fridge. Mikey turned to look at a picture of a burger. It looked worn and torn. "You like burgers? Cool choice. I'll make you some." He rubbed Kendric's head and then snatched the bags from Tory. "Get out of my sight." Tory shivered at the coldness of his voice. Like a train puppy dog, she did what she was told. Mikey had a strong desire to just snap her neck but Kendric came first. 'A twist woman is what she is…' "Okay Kenny let's make you that burger."

As the hours went by, at the restaurant, Ashido had come back with dessert and the check for Grimmjow and the others. At first, he was going to allow the meal to be free but Grimmjow insisted that they pay. Once dessert was done and the bill was paid with a large tip, they started to head out. Ashido meet them at the door. "I hope you enjoyed your time here." "We did! The food was amazing! I would love to come back again soon!" Oichi says. Ashido smiled sweetly at her, making Grimmjow frowned. He wrapped an arm around her waist. Ashido handed her four tickets. "I had these changed for you. All you have to do is show these to the sever here and they will take exceptionally good care of you." "Thank you so much for taking care of us tonight." Ashido nods and watched them leave.

"That was so yummy!" Oichi says as the valet brought their cars. "Yeah, next is the hotel. Hope your ready." Grimmjow says smirking. Oichi blushed as he opened the door for her. "Please remember that I am currently carrying your child. Try not to get carried away." Grimmjow shrugs. "I don't make promises I can't keep babe. The twins came out well considering we had some crazy nights." He kissed her cheek making her blush. She then returned the favor and then kissed him on the lips. Grimmjow pulled her closer to him starting a make out session that made some people blush. "Can you at least wait till you get to the hotel…" Ulquiorra says. Jess chuckled. "They can't keep their hands off each other." Oichi broke the kiss with a flustered face. "S-Sorry!" Grimmjow licked his lips. "We should go before I take you in front of all these people." Oichi gasps and hit his arm. "You wouldn't dare!" Grimmjow smirked devilishly. It made her squeak and rush to the car.

At the center, Kira, Yumichika, Iba, Nemu, Isane and Nanao, were in the break room eating together. They were staying late to finish up extra work, or so that is the excuse they gave.

"So, let's recap here." Iba says putting his cup down. "Mr. Hitsugaya and Momo are an official item?" The group nodded at him. "Whaaa!? Since when!?" Yumichika shrugs. "I mean the sighs have been there for the longest. I'm glad they finally crossed that bridge." "I'm more worried about how you didn't know…" Nanao says. "At the point everyone should know." Iba frowned. "Well if you people tell me stuff like this then maybe I wouldn't be behind in everything!" He yelled. Isane covered her ears. "I don't think you should yell…we are supposed to be doing work, not slacking off and eating." Kira sighs. "Isn't this a little pathetic. Are you tell me that none of his had Valentine day plans?" Yumichika chuckled. "Nope, I have to make sure my little project is up and running. Ikkaku is home as promised to spend time with his wife and daughter." "Normally you are with him even then." Nemu says. "Sometimes but on Valentines Day, I promised Emma and her mother that I will let them have their alone time. It's not my place to keep Ikkaku all to myself."

Kira shook his head. "I get it…Momo and Hisagi have lovers now so we don't even take breaks together anymore. I doubt I could find someone like that." "That's so downer talk." Iba says. "Oh yeah, then what about you?" Kira asked. "Meh, I don't have time for women right now. My work is more important." "Exactly what a virgin would say." Yumichika says chuckling. Iba blushed and turned his head. "No one asked you!" He started to eat the food that was set up." "What about you ladies?" Kira asked.

Nemu looked down at her drink. "I was kicked out of the lab for failing again. I was going to go home but I was dragged here. No plans were made so here I am." Isane chuckled. "Sorry about that. If we were going to rent this room out we needed a lot of people. At least five. Iba was here out of luck. As for me…um…well I got dumbed…" Their eyes widen. "Dumped!?" Kira says. "Wait you were dating someone?" Yumichika says. Isane rubbed her head. "I date a lot actually, but I get dumbed a lot as well. Normally I tell this to Rangiku, but she's been keeping to herself for a while now. I know it has something to do with Gin but, she won't speak about it." "Who was the guy you were dating? What is he like?" Iba asked. "D-Don't worry about it." Isane says with a blush.

They all then looked at Nanao who was sipping on her tea. She put the cup down and then tilts her glasses up. "My plans were changed when Mr. Kyoraku left to go be with Ms. Tanaka. That is all." Yumichika leans on the table. "Speak of that, how is that going? Your boss trying to settle down with Danni and all. I heard he doesn't even look at other women anymore." "That part is true yes, as the for the settling down I do not know. I was aware that Danni had no plans of having more children but who knows if she changed her mind or not." They all hummed out. "Could you see a mini Kyoraku running around? Who would it take after? Him or Danni?" "Well look at how Oichi turned out. She isn't angry or violent like Danni. She is more passive aggressive." "Yeah, but that trait could have just skipped her. Danni might pop out a whole demon baby for all we know." They all started to laugh. "Then think about Mr. Kyoraku genes." Iba says. Nanao sighs. "His pervert side…God forbid if their child gets all their negative trait's…" They started to laugh all over again.

Danni sneezed as she puts her glass down. 'The hell…is someone bad mouthing me?' The room was spinning slightly, and everything was getting all fuzzy. "Whoa…" She felt the glass being taking away from her hand and then something warm run across her lips. The feeling was removed, and another glass was placed in her hands. She licked her lips slightly before sipping on her drink. She noticed it was water. "Ha? What the hell?" She heard a muffle sound and an arm wrap around her neck. The glass of water was taken and replaced by something else. "D-Don't stop us! We are going all out!" She heard a loud voice says. "Right Danni!?" "Huh!? Oh yeah!" She says holding her glass up. She drinks it and sighs out as the liquor made her chest hot and tingling. "This is amazing!" She says smiling. She heard more muffles and then laughing. Something warm hit her lips again, she deduced it was a kiss, and she could not help but to hum out. She felt something warm run across her lips. She parted them and enjoyed the feelings or her tongue dancing around. Her born felt like it was on fire. She pushed more into the kiss until it was broke. She sighs out slightly. "I can't wait to get you home" She heard a whisper in her ear.

Grimmjow and Ulquiorra pulled up at a hotel called Bright leaf. With Oichi and Jess in tow they walked inside where they were greeted by the front desk staff. "Welcome to Bright leaf hotel, one of the most relaxing hotels up to date. How can we help you this fine night?" "We have two rooms under Jaegerjaquez and Cifer. The young lady at the front typed in something and smiled. "Ah yes! Both rooms are set up as you requested." She handed him a key and Ulquiorra one. "Your rooms are on the 6th floor Room 610 and 611. Please enjoy your night and if you need anything, the office is open 27/7."

Oichi tugged on Grimmjow's arm. "I have to use the bathroom. Like now!" She says frowning. "Bathrooms are down the hall to the left." The lady says. Grimmjow picked Oichi up making her gasp and rushed off to the bathroom. Jess shakes her head. "Shall we go to our room then?" She held up the bag. "I know you have been waiting to see what's in the bag." She says with a smirk on her face. Ulquiorra grabbed her hand and quickly led her to the room. Jess couldn't help but let out a giggle. 'I wonder if he knows just how cute he is being.'

In the bathroom, Oichi sighs out as she barely made it. "That…was scary." When she was done, she headed to the sink to wash her hands. "I guess I should check in on Harribel and the kids. I'm glad we didn't get any calls, but I can't help but to worry." She grabbed a paper towel and dried her hands off. Using a fresh paper towel, she opened the door. Grimmjow was waiting and held it up as she tossed the paper into the trash. He handed her the bag she had been carrying. "Did you peak!?" "I wanted to, but I like surprises." He says taking her to the elevator.

Getting to the 6th floor and their room, Grimmjow used the key to open the door and held it open for Oichi to walk in. Her eyes widen looking around. It was a large room with a kitchen on one side and small living room on the other. She walked in more and headed to the bedroom area. There was a large bed that had a Valentine basket on it with a teddy bear, a box of candy, and some champagne. There were also candles lit and it gave out a wonderful honey smell. On the table in the middle of the room was a covered tray. Oichi picked up to see a bowl of strawberries, fresh banana's and whip cream under it. A note was there, and it said 'enjoy' Oichi's head slowly turned to Grimmjow. "Um…honey…you aren't planning to do what I think you are planning." Grimmjow chuckled. "It's going to happen. It's a dream to eat off that beautiful body of yours." Oichi felt her cheeks heat up. "Gosh you are a grade A prevent…" "Yeah? You know you love and have agreed to marry this so call grade A prevent. What do you think that makes you?" "An innocent bystander that got swept away in a strong passion of wild love." Oichi answered. Grimmjow snickered. "Yeah, sure. What's in the bag?"

Oichi took off her jacket and shows. "Excited, are you?" "Yeah, duh. We can't use the hot tub since your pregnant." "There is a hot tub in here!?" "Yeah but what's in the bag." Oichi pouted. "Don't ruin the mood, get yourself ready and call Harribel while I prepare." She walked to the bathroom with the bag in tow. Grimmjow sits on the bed and starts to take his shoes off. He picked up the phone and dialed Harribel number. It rings four times before she answered. "Hello Grimmjow." "Hey, calling to check on the kids." "They are asleep." Grimmjow raised his eyebrow. "All of them?" "No, Alisha is still up with me, she is fighting sleep. Jess called a few seconds ago to check on Nova. She sleeping in Alisha's crib. Naomi is asleep and after a hot bath, Grayson is now asleep in his room." "It's weird that Alisha is still up." "Yes, but it will only be a few more moments. Everything is well here. Enjoy your night with Oichi." "Right, thanks for watching the kids tonight." He hangs up.

In Ulquiorra's room, the only clothing he had on was a towel around his waist. He was pouring two glasses of champagne. He walked to the back where the hot tub was. Jess was in it relaxing. Her hair was up in a bun. She wasn't wearing any clothes. "I didn't know we had a hot tub! Boy, you both went all out huh." She says smiling. Ulquiorra put the glasses on the small tray beside them and removed his towel. Jess glanced away slightly and waited until he got in. "You always turn away when I have no clothes on. Why is that?" He asked sitting down. "I don't know…it's more of a reflex I guess." "We will be getting married eventually. You should be use, to seeing me naked by now." She put her hand on her cheek. "I know, but like I said it's just an innocent reflex." "Mhmm…what was in the bag?" Jess took the glass and handed him a glass. "You will find out once we make it to the bed. Let's enjoy the hot tub for a little bit."

In Grimmjow's room, he had stripped down to his boxes. He huffed out with impatience. "Hey babe!? You okay in there!?" He did not get an answer. Frowning, he got up and heads to the bathroom. "Oichi?" He knocks on the door with no answer. He starts to get a bit worried. "Oichi!? Are you okay in there!?" He hears a click and the door opens. Oichi peaks her head out. "I'm fine." "What are you doing in there." Oichi gave him a sad look. "My gift…it…it ripped…and I can't fix it. Now its ruin…" She says tearing up. "Let me in." Oichi sniffed and opened the door wider. His eyes went wide to see her wearing a stunning light blue, lace baby doll maternity lingerie, with a long lacy robe. "Whoa…" He then notices it was torn on her side and down to the back. "I…I don't understand. It fit well on me and now it tore when I put it on…I destroy your surprise. I feel so horrible." Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Wait, no, no, don't cry." He grabbed her cheeks. "Even torn, you look amazing in that." He kissed her. "You do know if you would have walked out completely naked, I would have loved it even more. You do not need outfit to get me fired up. He helped her remove the outfit. "See, your just as sexy when your naked. Plus, it eases off the work. I've been thinking about ways to decorate your body with strawberries." Oichi rubbed the tears out of her eyes and giggled. "You're an idiot." He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bedroom.

Renji and Ichigo walked upstairs and opened up Kazui bedroom door. The kids were sleeping on a play mat in the semi destroyed room. "Looks like they left you something to do in the morning." Renji says chuckling. Ichigo rubbed his face. Renji walked through the piles of toys and picks up Ichika. "Thanks for letting us come over. We should do it again one day." "Sure, whatever." Ichigo says.

Renji walked back downstairs where Rukia was waiting for him at the door. Orihime was handing her some leftovers. "This was really fun. Have a safe trip home." Rukia smiled. "Thanks, Orihime. We should all be able to get some few more hours of peace with the kids out cold now." Orihime nodded in agreement. She waved to them as they left. Walking upstairs she peaks her head in to see Ichigo was dressing Kazui for bed. "My, this room is a mess." She went around the room picking up toys. "Tell me about it. It does look like Kazui had fun through. Should have seen the way his eyes sparkled when I brough food up for them." She giggled. "I'm glad he enjoyed his food. We should really do this again. I'd love to go on a double date like how Jess and Oichi did or a like a joint family dinner?"

Ichigo hums out. "We do that at Thanksgiving don't we." Orihime blinks and gasps out. "I forgot about that. Well never mind then." She laughed putting the toys away. Ichigo shakes his head and tucks Kazui in.

Lexton, was in the red wolf lobby on his laptop. He had a cup of coffee on the table and a small cake. He had a bunch of emails opened and some files being transferred. His phone started to ring. "About time…" Picking it up her saw the caller was unknown. "Hello?" "He answers." "Color me impressed. It's not every day, I get backtracked on collecting information." "Trust me, it was not an easy feat, you left no openings but not everything is perfect. Everything has a loophole and if it does not, I can make one." "Who is this exactly." "My name is Lexton Luisenbarn. Second son of Barragan Luisenbarn. I believe you know him well." "To a degree." "Good, then this conversation will be nice and sweet so there is no need for you try and track my location. You can call your goon squad off, as I pose no threat to your niece as well. As businessmen I am sure you can agree with that. Right, Jetter?"

Jetter chuckled. "I've had your location the moment you tried to hack my systems. At any given time, I could have shut you out but the information you had was very compelling. I will allow you 10 minutes of my time. I am a terribly busy man you know. "All I will need is five." "Very well then. Speak child of Barragan. I am interested in what you can provide for me."

The next morning, Grimmjow was up and getting ready to go downstairs to get breakfast. He decided not to ask for room service since he didn't trust people to bring Oichi's food. He was wearing a pair of gray sweats and a black t-shirt. Looking over at Oichi, she was still fast asleep. After the wild night that had she wouldn't stir awake until another hour or so. After she pasted out, he got them both clean and dressed her in a sleeping gown. "Ulquiorra should be up by now." He says. Leaning over he kissed Oichi on the forehead, grabbed the room key and heads to the door.

He opened it and paused to see Jess walking out instead of Ulquiorra. She was wearing a pair of red and black shorts and a matching T-Shirt with Harley Quinn on it. Her hair was down and covering her shoulders and neck but Grimmjow could still see the hicky's that were made. "Guess you wore him out." Jess turned around. "No, he is up. He got a call from someone and I decided to come check on Oichi." "She's fine." Grimmjow says closing the door with a slight slam. Jess raised her eyebrow. "What's your deal this morning." "Nothing. Go back to bed or something. Relax or do whatever you women do in the early of the morning." "Normally that would be taking care of my child and fixing breakfast." "There is a kitchen in your room." "With no food. Expect me to cook something from air?" "Who knows, with that gorilla strength of yours who knows what else you could be hiding." Grimmjow says going to the elevator. Jess followed him. He hit the button on the elevator and waited.

"Grimmjow? Do you have a problem with me? I thought we were past whatever this was?" "I have a lot of problems with you. I've even made a list." "A list of…things you don't like about me?" "Sure, let's call it that." Grimmjow says watching the number on the elevator drop. "What's on the list?" "Ha…think I'm dumb enough to walk into that? I don't feel like getting knocked into the floor." Jess frowned. "Well maybe if you stopped being a jerk then maybe I wouldn't have to hit you in the first place." "No, maybe if you stopped meddling in places you didn't belong in then I wouldn't have to be a jerk in the first place…then again I adore being a jerk so that wouldn't change anything." "How have I been meddling!?" Grimmjow let out a low chuckled. "That list is far to long and personal to even explain to you right now." The doors opened and he walked out. Jess huffed out and followed him to the lobby.

The staff was putting out food for the waiting company. One of the staff notices Grimmjow and blushes. She eyes him slowly stopping at the sweatpants. Smiling, she walked over to him. "Hello sir. Do you need a hand?" "Just need a plate to take back upstairs." She smiles and took a step closer. Jess frowned. 'Is she really making a play on him? Doesn't she see the damn ring on his finger?' "Is there anything I can help you with?" She leans down a bit so he could get a clear view of the top of her breast. "Yes, taking those fake tits of yours and back off. I have a woman with kids. Don't have time to play with bimbos." The woman gasps at this and watched him walk off to the food table. Jess smirked and walked by the woman. 'He may be a jerk but at least I don't have to worry about him getting snatched up by someone else.'

Grimmjow grabbed a plate and started going through the food to get Oichi food. Jess also grabbed a plate to get some food for her and Ulquiorra. "Did you check on the kids?" "Yeah, they were fine. Alisha was still up when I called." Grimmjow says grabbing a second plate. "She was? That's rare?" "Its because of Harribel no doubt, she's attached to her." Jess chuckled. "How cute. Make sure you get her some fruit." "Yeah, yeah…they got a fruit salad." "Why didn't you just order room service?" "Think about what you said. You really want a random person bring morning, pregnant, Oichi food?" Jess blinks. "Ah, you are right…"

Grimmjow started to put strawberry pancakes on the plate when someone stopped in front of him. He waited for a few moments to get to the cups of syrup. Jess peaked from behind him. "Why did you stop?" "Waiting for this guy…I'm not a complete ass. Plus, Oichi would kill me if I made a scene here…" Jess held back a chuckle.

A minute or so passed however, and a line was forming behind them. At this point Grimmjow's patience was fed up. "Yo buddy? Can you move the fuck out the way?" The man didn't answer. It did not sit well with Grimmjow. "Hey, your holding up the line!? I got a pregnant woman to feed!" Jess sighed. "Really now. Your holding up the line sir…"

They head a chuckled. "The old Grim would have already punched my lights out for getting in his way. You sure have changed." Grimmjow raised his eyebrow. 'Grim…not maybe people call me that…' "Look if I owe you something, we can talk outside, right now I have to take this food to my girl. Now get out of my way…" Another chuckle was heard, and the man turned around. Grimmjow's eyes narrowed… "Well…this makes since…you were always the most annoying one of the brats." "Who is this?" Jess asked. Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "This is the older son of Barragan, Benjamin." "It's Ben. Nice to meet you."

"Now that I know it's you…Get the hell out of my way!" Grimmjow grabbed Ben's shoulder and tossed him into a table almost knocking it over. He laughed as Grimmjow kept making the food. "A little extreme Grim, don't you think?" "Don't come near me or my room or I'll make sure you go missing." Grimmjow says finishing the plates. "Jess grabbed some fruit juice." "I got it…his older son? That means Tory is his mother?" Ben frowned. "Let's not say that woman's name…but speaking of that broad I need to speak to you woman Grim? Just a quick chat?" Grimmjow stopped and turned slightly and glared deadly at him. He shivered. "Don't you dare come anywhere near Oichi. I'll rip your eyes right out your head." Ben frowned. "L-Look…it is not what you think. In fact, it is about my younger brother? Kendric? I heard that she had a run in with her…" Jess eyes widen slightly. "About Kendric. Oichi would want to talk to him."

"No, I don't trust the brat." "Come on Grim…I know we had some issues back then, but I was a kid back then. So, I stole a girl friend or two from you. I'm not going to steal your woman unless she wants me." Jess sighs. "That's it. I'm shutting this down before anything gets started." She grabbed Ben by his wrist and started to squeeze. Ben's eyes widen as he felt pain shook up his arm, like she was about to rip his arm off. "This is a serious matter. I do not have the time to deal with your pissing contest with Grimmjow. A child is at stake right now. You will respect Oichi and if you even upset her even once on purpose, I will rip your arm off and beat you with it. Are we clear?" She says narrowing her eyes at him. Ben gulps and nods. "Sure thing…" Jess let his wrist go and walks off to the elevator. "I guess that gorilla strength comes in handy sometimes. Let's go brat." Ben rubbed his wrist. 'That must have been that Mikcloud gene Lex was talking about.'

Getting back to the room, Jess went to her room and Grimmjow had Ben open the door to his room. Ben pushed it open to see Ulquiorra taking care of a crying Oichi. "Uh…" Grimmjow pushed him out of the way. "What the hell? Jess your man is in here." He says. Jess walked over and gasp to see Oichi crying. "Oichi!? Ulquiorra what happened!?" She rushed in and put the food on the table. Grimmjow did the same. "She fell, trying to get up and go to the bathroom." Ulquiorra says moving out of Grimmjow's way. "How did you fall? Where you hurt?" Oichi sniffed. "My side…" Grimmjow moved the blanket but before he lifted her dress he turned to Ben who sighed and turned his back.

Ulquiorra stared at him while Grimmjow checked on Oichi. "Why are you here…" "To talk." "There is nothing you can provide that needed a face to face greeting." "That's harsh. I just wanted to see the lives you and Grim now have." "Every time you and your brother stick your nose where you do not belong, chaos follows. This is not the place or time for another one of your childish schemes. Leave now." Jess tugs on Ulquiorra shirt. "It's okay love. We had a nice chat downstairs. He won't pull anything funny." "Yes, until something goes missing." Ben sighs. "So cold and hostile. I see you haven't changed as much."

Grimmjow was looking at a bruise that was forming on Oichi's side. "How did you fall babe?" "I was getting up to use the bathroom. I was rushing and the bed sheets caught my ankle's…I fell but I needed to pee and just rushed to the bathroom. When I was done, I felt my side hurting and I couldn't find you." "So you went to Ulquiorra?" "I wanted Jess, but you stole her!" Oichi says snapping slightly. Jess chuckled lightly. "We had to get you some food sis. Let me see where you fell." She went to her while Ulquiorra kept his eyes on Ben. "You got us food?" Oichi asked with sparkles in her eyes. Grimmjow nodded. "I'll fix you something now." Oichi nods and finally notices Ben. "Who's that?"

Jess looks at the bruise. "It doesn't look bad. How are you feeling?" "Hungry and my side hurt but other than that we both are okay." Her stomach then growls making her blush. "Okay we both are hungry…" Jess laughs and pulls her gown down. She helped her sit up while Grimmjow came over with a tray with food on it. "It smells so good!" Oichi says smiling. She started to dig in humming in delight. Grimmjow sat on the edge of the bed and Jess went to go eat her food. "Oichi, the random werido here wants to talk to you." Ben turns around and smiles sweetly at Oichi. "My, you are quite cute. I'm shocked Grim was able to collect a rose like you." Grimmjow growls. "Watch it." Oichi giggled. "Thank you, and you are?" "My name is Benjamin Luisenbarn." Oichi stopped eating and frowned at him. "Luisenbarn…one of Barragan's children?" She asked. Ben nods with a smile. "Yes, the oldest one in fact. Thank you for not bring 'her' name into this."

"Is this about Kendric?" Oichi asks as she went back to eating. "Yes, actually. I heard from…my helpers…that you picked up Kenny at the mall yesterday." "I did, he was left in the store and he ate like he hasn't hand anything in days. The poor dear…" "That woman, our mother, she is providing a bit of trouble for us these days. We had no idea that she had another child until recently. Hell, we didn't even know our own father had died since she had instructor all of our helpers to not speak of it. Only, when Vega tracked us down it was then we learned what happened. "Vega?" Oichi asks looking at Grimmjow. "Remember, when we went to the funeral and a skinny guy and fat ass walked up to us?" "The ones you beat up?" Ben chuckled. "So savage, Grim…anyways, once we learned about his death we also learned about our little brother. None of us wanted him to live with that woman and we have been trying to get him from under her, but she is fighting us tooth and nail."

Oichi sighs. "Can you tell me more about Tory?" Ben rubbed his head. "To be honest I can't. I can tell you that she is very manipulative and will do anything for money. Its why I believe she married my father. Why he stayed with her I will never know. It's not like he had better choices. If anyone would know about her it would be the two you are with now." Grimmjow grunts off. "Na, never had much contact with the she devil. She was annoying." "Agreed…" Ulquiorra says. "She was no more then an afterthought. A woman who had a simple background and came from a family that was…normal I suppose." Ben chuckled. "I don't know her like you think I should. As soon as I could I quickly got out of there and cut contact with her. The others did the same."

Oichi hums out and bit into her pancake. "Okay, well there is a back up plan for that. Instead can you tell me more about yourself and your siblings?" Ben gave her a confused looked. "You want to know about us? Why so?" Oichi shrugs. "Well you can't tell me about your mother, so I'd like to know more about you and the others and possibly your father. If you want to talk about it." Ben rubbed his head. He was a bit caught off guard. Not many people wanted to know about his family. "I…well…haha…I'm not even sure where to start…" "Do you feel uncomfortable talking about it? Maybe in front of Grimmjow?" "It's not like Grim doesn't know me but…" Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "A little to late to be embarrassed now. Take a seat and talk. I've told you before that you can't keep yourself stuck in that backwards past of yours. If you wanna pour your heart out, go ahead. I wouldn't disrespect you by laughing in your face…at least not in front of Oichi…" He says mumbling the last part to himself. Ben stares at him and then laughs. "Wow! You have changed!" "Yeah. Yeah. You have already ruined my morning. So get to talking."

Florina was sleeping on her side peacefully. Beside her Hisagi was waking up. He yawns and sits up. He felt refreshed and recharged. He looked at Florina and smiled softly. Last night he was happy to be her first and didn't want her to regret choosing him. He slips back under the blanket and slides closer to Florina. Wrapping an arm around her he held her tightly. She shifts a bit in his hold and lets out a happy sigh. He chuckled. 'So cute…' Moving her hair to the side he started to kiss the back of her neck. His hand rubs her stomach and then moves up to her breast. She moans out softly as his kisses move up to her ear. Biting on her outer rim of her ear his hand started to rub her breast. "Flo…" He whispered. "Hmm…" "Good morning." "Mhmm…" "I'll make it quick okay. Then I'll make you something really delicious okay." "Mhm…food…" He smiles and kisses her cheek.

His hand then slides back down between her legs. He felt her jump as he enters a finger inside her. Kissing the back of her neck, again he added another finger and using his free hand he adjusted her legs. His face started to heat up while his lower area happily woke up and was standing at attention. Removing his fingers, he reached over to his dresser and grabbed a condom out of a recently open box. He ripped it open and place it on himself. Turning over her gently, on her stomach he pushed her leg up. He rubs her back, down to her butt, and stopped at her thighs. 'So soft…' He positions himself at her entrance and pushed himself in. Florina's eyes opened. Hisagi started to thrust inside her, holding her hips. "H-Hisagi…" She moans out, still half sleep. She grabs the pillow and buries her face into it right as her moans started to slip out.

At Tory's, Mikey was giving Kendric a bath. He was tapping the water with his hands while Mikey washed his hair. At the same time, Mikey was looking at the bruises on his body. Some fresh over new ones and made it places were most people will not see them. There were not many over his body only a few on his arms, thighs, and back. Of course, the one of cheek as well. It seems like Tory just bruised the same spot to keep it looking decent. More then that, he could see the boy's ribs just about. When covered in layers of clothes it was not noticeable but, looking at him now, Kendric was nearly just skin and bones.

"Do you want some strawberry waffles after this?" Kendric smiled and nodded. "Juice?" "Sure little man. How about apple juice?" "Mmmm!" Mikey chuckled. Tory walked to the door. "Stop there." Mikey says without turning around. Tory stops and stands right outside the door. "Did you need something?" Tory hangs her head low. "P-Please…don't tell anyone about Kendric. I…I beg you please." "Now why would I not tell someone? You are putting the kid in harms way you know." "It's not like that." "Then explain the bruises. Don't give me some lame excuse." Mikey says rinsing Kendric hair out. Tory was silent. "Right…so this is what I am going to do. I will give you a chance to turn yourself in for hurting Kendric." Tory's eyes widen. "What!?" "Just an FYI my sister is already looking into you and with Grimmjow's help I'm sure she will come and get Kendric either way." "NO! Do not take my son away from me!" "Quiet." Mikey says in a stern voice. Tory froze and stopped talking.

Mikey smiled at Kendric who was rubbing his hair. "Hey Ken, do you want to see aunt Chi? She makes these amazing waffles that are super fluffy." "Auntie Chi!" Kendric says smiling. Mikey chuckled and grabbed a towel. Tory bit her lip. "Please…I'll do anything…" Mikey ignored her while he dried Kendric off. "Don't take him from me please. He is the only thing I have left of my husband…I swear I will do anything you tell me to do if you just don't take him!" "Your words fall on death ears. I took pictures of Ken's bruises and I sent them to Danni. Once they make their way to the center then trust and believe Ken will no longer be in your hands. I'm being nice by still being here. I truly despise mothers who abuses their child for selfish reasons. You are incredibly lucky that I don't…" He closed his eyes. "I'm going to take Kendric to my sister's. At least Kendric can have feeling of a loving figure in his life."

Tory bit her lip in anger. "NO! MY SON STAYS HERE WITH ME! You have no right to take him!" "You are endangering his life at this point so yes; I will take him. Are you willing to do something about it?" He gave her a blank look. She shook. "I…I…" She looked at Kendric who really was not paying attention to the conversation. His stomach started to growl. "Eat Eat…" He says holding his stomach. Mikey picked him up in the towel. "I know Ken. Let us go get you fed with some yummy food." He walked past Tory who grips her fist. Her face was flustered. 'What a man…'

At Oichi's, Harribel was cooking breakfast while the kids were in the living room playing. Mila Rose was over since the others were working. Rose chuckled as she watched the girls lay all over Grayson. They were both wearing matching fairy one pieces. Grayson was in a blue beetle one. He was on his pad, laying on his stomach, watching young justice. Alisha was on one side of him with her head on his back, blabbing. Naomi was on her feet taking steps to get to his pad, but she never makes it. She ends up falling back on her butt. "You guys are very active in the morning." She grabbed Naomi and stood her up. "Why don't we surprise your idiot dad and your excitable mom by walking all by yourself." Naomi giggled. "Mama! Dada!" Rose chuckled and started walking her around the room.

Back in the kitchen, Harribel was finishing breakfast when her phone started to ring. She picks it up to see Mikey was calling her. She answered. "Mikey? Good morning. Checking on the girls?" "I am sure they are fine with a mother figure like you there." Harribel let out a soft chuckled. "Ah, looks like my words do affect you. Nice to know. Is Oichi there?" "No, she and Grimmjow are still at the hotel." "Alright, thanks. I might be over later today." He hangs up. Harribel puts her phone down and walks into the living room to see Alisha sitting up now. She was watching Naomi walk around with Rose. She started to pout. "No!" She started yelling. She got on her knees and crawl to them. "No! NO!" She yelled getting upset. Rose stopped and let go of Naomi who giggled as she sat down. Alisha crawled quickly to her and tackled her sister on the floor now in full tears. "Nooooo!" She cried out. Naomi frowned seeing her cry and started to get upset. Grayson sat up. "Sissy?"

Rose looked at Harribel in confusion. "I'm afraid I don't know what's going on?" Grayson got up and rushed to his sisters to calm them down. Harribel crossed her arms. "I'm quite clueless as well. I've never seen Alisha act that way before…" "Should we call Oichi?" "No, I'm sure we can handle this. Let her enjoy the rest of her morning. She needs the break." She walked over to Grayson who had pulled Alisha off Naomi. "No cry sissy. I here!" He hugged her making her calm down. "Besides, with Grayson here he makes things easier. He does love his sisters after all." Naomi sat up and crawled over to Grayson. "Me!" She says sniffing. Grayson smiles and hugs her to. "My sissys!" He yells. The twins smiled and giggled at him. "Amazing…it's hard to believe he shares blood with Grimmjow." Rose says shaking her head.

Back at the hotel, Jess and Ulquiorra had went back to their room for a while, leaving Ben to talk with Oichi. Grimmjow was getting their things packed since check out will be in another 3 hours or so. Oichi was interested in Ben, listening to his words very carefully. She frowned at the challenges he had to overcome just by himself alone.

Ben sighs. "Being the son, mainly the oldest son, of Barragan was never easy. I had everything I wanted, and no one could tell me otherwise. However, my father always was strict and made sure that I knew what I wanted to do with my life and that was to be a doctor. He put me through the best schools, made sure I had the materials I needed to be the top person in that field. People saw him as cold, heartless, and a ruthless dictator but I did not see that much side of him. Sadly, I wasted all he did for me. Now I'm here lost and don't know what I want anymore…He was kind to me and the others. A wonderful father…and it pains me to know that a man, this amazing father of mine…settles…with a woman like Tory. She is selfish and only cares about herself. She came from a low breeding family. She has no interesting talents, barley could hold down a job, hell she could not even raise us! It's a damn shame that he had so many women on the side but only picked her…HER…to have children with!" Ben was getting angry. He gripped his fist. "She a worthless piece of trash and because of her our family was torn! That witch didn't even tell us about his death…what kind of hateful human being does that…and now the possible thinking that she's taking all of her anger out on my younger brother makes my blood boil…"

Oichi could see the anger, sadness, and even a little fear in Ben's eyes. Moving the tray off her she got up. Her body moved on its on as she walked up to him. She grabbed his head and placed it on her belly. His eyes widen as she rubbed his head in a smoothing manor. Tears started to swell up in the corner of his eyes. He raised his shaking arms only to hesitate. Grimmjow sighs seeing this. "No time to hold back brat…just…let it go." Oichi smiled. "It's okay." "I feel so useless as an older brother. I can't even protect my own family. I don't even know what I want in my own life. How can I do anything for them when I wasted father's only opportunity for me. "Failure…I'm such a failure…" An arm wrapped around Oichi's waist as he buries his face on her belly. Tears ran down his cheeks. "My brother needs me, and I don't know what to do…" Oichi rubbed his head as he cried. "You are not a failure. You came here the moment you heard your brother was in trouble. I never met your dad, but he raised a fine man that care for his family. I am so sorry that you had a mother like Tory. You cannot give up though. Kendric needs you now more then ever. I am willing to do everything I can to remove him from Tory. As a mother, seeing something like that is heartbreaking. To know a mother has such hate in her heart to take it out on her child is 100% unforgivable."

Ben pulls back from her and rubs his eyes. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to cry on you or your baby." He looked at her belly and rubbed it. He smiled. "It's weird to know that Grim has kids with another on the way. I bet they are all wild like him." Oichi laughed. "His son is. He is very active and protects his sisters all the time just like how you protect your siblings." She rubs his cheek. "You are a great brother and really, you remind me of my own big brother. He isn't doing much with his life but somehow he is always there when his little sisters need him." She smiled sweetly at him. "Just keep doing your big brother duties and keep your family safe. They may not say it but they all depend on you now. You are the closet thing they have to their father." Ben's heart started to flutter as a warm feeling started to rise up inside him.

Oichi's phone started to ring. "Hm? I wonder who that could be." She went to the dresser and picked it up. "Speak of the devil. It's Mikey." "Who?" Ben asked. "My big brother." Oichi says chuckling. She answered. "Hi Mikey." "Auntie Chi!" Oichi's eyes widen. "Kendric!?" Ben and Grimmjow looked at her with surprise. "Hi auntie!" "H-Hi sweetie. Where are you?" There was a quick pause. "Hey, sis, what room are you in?" "Mikey? What are you doing with Kendric? D-Did you…" "No, she's at the manor. Do not worry I didn't harm her. What room are you in. Ken is hungry and we got some waffle mix for you to cook him." "610" "Great I'll be up in a second." He hangs up.

Oichi looks at the phone with a concern looked on her face. "Does your brother have the kid?" "He does…I guess Tory let him take Ken…" She frowned and looked at Ben. "My brother…he is a victim of child abuse. His mother wasn't to kind to him and took her anger out on him when he had a bad illness. It is something he hasn't really…gotten over. He does not tolerate abuse. A prime reason why he is so overprotective of us. However, the results are not all that good when he comes in connect with those types of people." She rubbed her arm. "He almost beat a man to death for abusing his own daughter. He also almost did jail time for mentally breaking a woman into almost killing herself for abusing her son so I fear what he could have done to Tory." Ben frowned. "Gave her a piece of her own medicine…is what I would like to think…but she likes to be dominated. She's like an obedient puppy that does everything she is told without question." Grimmjow sits on the bed. "Maybe that's why the old fart kept her. Finding a woman and breaking her in to your liking takes years. Why go and find a new one and do it all over again. He didn't keep Tory by choice. He kept her because she was already broken in." Ben sighs. "Maybe…"

A few moments later, there was a knock on the door. Oichi went to open it. She smiled to see Kendric being held by Mikey. "Auntie! Eat eat!" He says reaching out to her. Oichi smiled and took him and couldn't help but to snuggle him. "Of course. You want some waffles?" Kendric nods. Mikey walked in and put the waffle mix on the table. He noticed Ben. "Who is this?" "Ben…Kendric's older brother." Mikey's eyes suddenly darken. Ben stood up.

"Mikey…" Oichi went to him and grabbed his arm. "It's not like that. He didn't know…Tory kept it a secret from everyone…" Ben looks at Kendric who was staring at him. He looked away. Oichi turned to him. "Don't Ben…" She went to him. "Kenny…this is your big brother." His eyes widen. "Bruh Bruh…" Oichi smiled. "Yes hunny." Kendric looked down. "H-Hi…" Ben rubbed his head. Kendric had the looks of their father. "Hi…" "You eat eat to?" Kendric asked. "Sure." Oichi looked at Grimmjow who sighs. "I'll push the time back. Good grief feels like I'm in some kind of drama film or something." Oichi gigged and handed Kendric to Ben. "I'll start cooking!" She grabbed Mikey and pulled him to the kitchen area.

"How did you get him?" She asked taking the stuff out the bag. "I took him." Mikey says shrugging. "You can't just take someone's child! She could file charge against you! Papa isn't around to bail you out if you get thrown in jail!" Mikey put his hands in his pockets. "Not to worry sis. I took pictures of Ken's injuries and sent them to Danni. She will send them to the center so they can start a case against Tory. Once Danni sends in the report, we can officially remove Ken from Tory. Don't worry, I'll take him back and keep watch over him until they can get him out. To prevent Ken from going into a home or whatever, we can get a temp order to have him stay with you and Grimmjow for the time being. I've thought this through, trust me. Plus, with you being friends with Jess I'm sure whatever dirt she can get on Tory will help the case. Trust me?" Oichi sighs and nods. "Okay bro…I trust you." Mikey smiled and looked at Ben who was talking to Kendric and was on the phone. "So…what's the deal with this Ben guy?" Oichi sighs as she started to cook. "Such a broken family…I want them to get a happy ending."

Over were Ben was, he was on the phone with Lexton. "I see…this is an interesting turn of events. One of your plans went through. I'm actually impressed." "Let us see him!" Ben heard over the phone. Lexton sighs. "Fine, fine…switch to video chat." "Okay." Ben says moving the phone away. He went to the video chat and held it down to Kendric's face. Shelia and Amanda's face appeared. Their eyes widen and sparkled at Kendric. "So cute!" Amanda says. "Hi Kenny! We are your sisters!" Kendric blinks. "Sissy?" "Yes! Yes! Oh my gosh I want to cuddle him so bad! Ben, I demand you to bring him to us right now!" Amanda says. The phone was taken and Lexton appeared. "Ignore them. How did you get your hands on him?" "It seems like Oichi's brother was with her and took him. From the look he just gave me, she is being obedient to him. He must have a plan. I will tell you all about it when I get back. For now, I need to get Ken some food. "Eat Eat Bruh Bruh." Lexton nods. "Alright, see you when you get back." He hangs up. Ben smiles down at Kendric. "Let's get that tummy of yours filled up." Kendric nods. "EAT EAT!" He says holding his hands up. Ben laughed.

Danni was frowning as she lays in the bed. She had ended up at Shunsui's house after a night of drinking. He had worn her body out right after that. She currently could not feel her legs. She was looking at the pictures Mikey sent. "That poor child…and knowing Mikey and Oichi they won't stop until that child is safe." She sits up with the blanket wrapped around her body. "Guess I should lend a hand. I should at least get the boy out of that house." The door opened and Shunsui walked in with a tray of food. "Morning love." Danni smiled. "Morning. Had fun last night dominating me?" Shunsui chuckled. "Even when drunk you mostly dominated me." He placed the tray on the dresser. "What are you looking at?" Danni sighs. "Mikey sent me a picture of a young child, the youngest of Barragan's children in fact." "Oh? He had another one?" "Yeah, the mother kept him hidden and Oichi ran into him yesterday. The child has bruises and looks like he has been starved. Mikey has asked for help to get him out of the house and out of the mother's custody."

Shunsui took the phone and swiped through the photos. She slides over and grabbed a piece of bacon. "Hm…I wonder…" "Wonder what?" "Oh nothing. Why don't you let me take care of this?" Danni chuckles. "I work for the same people silly. You want to help the child so that you can grant a favor with that old muffin's kids?" He chuckled. "Something like that. Having the second son, Lexton, on our side can rule in our favor. As the son of Barragan, he would be able to help with rebuilding and merging with us to a degree. Of course, you were also close with Barragan so learning that you helped their brother will increase that chance." Danni grabbed another piece of bacon. "Sounds about right you sexy sneaky man. So help your lover out. Let's get the child out hopefully by the end of the week. I am sure Mikey will stay with him until the child service come." "Done…and…done…I've sent them straight to the top." He closed the phone and puts it down. He grabbed her waist and pulled her down. "Now, before we get to work, how about another round?" Danni giggled as she eats her bacon.

At the hotel, Jess and Ulquiorra were dressed and ready to leave. They had went back over to Grimmjow and Oichi's room only to find Kendric stuffing his face with Ben and Mikey. Oichi was in the shower and Grimmjow was sitting on the couch in time out for cussing at Ben and Mikey. Jess blinks and looks at Kendric. "Um…what's going on?" Grimmjow waves his hand. "Mikey got the brat, the brat met the big brat and the others, Oichi fed him, staying another hour longer…" He turned the TV. Kendric's cheeks were full of waffles as he hums out in delight. Mikey and Ben chuckled. "Is it yummy?" Mikey asks. Kendric nods. Ben bites into his to. "It's so fluffy. Amazing!" Mikey laughs. "I know. It is like cotton candy. Fluffy and melts in your mouth. Yeah?"

Jess walks up to them. "You both looks like you are getting along?" Mikey chuckles. "Hey there Jess, since your up and walking I guess Ulquiorra didn't fully do his boyfriend duties." Jess blushed. "S-Shut up." Ulquiorra looked at Kendric. "Is that the boy…" Jess nods. "He looks like Barragan…disturbing…" Kendric stops and looks at Ulquiorra. "…I…Bad boy?" Jess frowned. "No sweetie." She smacks Ulquiorra's arm. Kendric pushes his food away. "I…bad boy…no eat eat…" He starts to tear up. "No hun. You're not a bad boy at all!" Jess looks at him with concern. "Does your mom say words like that?" "I…ugly…bad boy…she not like face…" He rubs his cheek where it was patched. "She angry. No like me…" Ben bit his lip. "You're not ugly Kenny and you're not a bad boy." He pushed the plate back to him. "You can eat as much as you want." Kendric did not touch his plate. "Oh dear…" Jess says.

The door opened and Oichi walked out with a happy smile. "Such a good shower!" She was wearing a floral maternity dress with black leggings. She noticed Jess. "Hey Jess! I was about to call you." Tears started to roll down Kendric's cheeks. Oichi panicked. "Kenny? What's wrong dear!?" Mikey sits back. "Jess's boy toy upset him." Oichi frowned at Ulquiorra. "Really Ulquiorra? He might be a toddler, but he still clearly understands certain words! You need to watch what you say around him! Go sit next to Grimmjow!" She says snapping at him. Ulquiorra let out a sigh. Jess shot him a glare. Without another word he went over to sit by Grimmjow who chuckled. "Welcome to the time out area."

Oichi walked up to Ben and took Kendric out his lap. She then sat down and grabbed the plate of food. Kendric rubbed his eyes through his tears. Oichi moved his hands and rubbed his teary cheeks. "Don't cry sweetie. It's okay." "I bad boy. No eat eat…Yummy food good! I be good!" He says crying more. Oichi smiles softly. "You are not a bad boy and you can have all the yummy food you want. Your auntie Oichi will make all the yummy food you want." Kendric sniffs as she dries his cheeks. She took the fork and put a piece of waffles on it. She lifts it to his mouth and he opens up to eat it. A smile returned to his face as he ate. "Very good! Such a good boy!" Oichi says rubbing his head. Kendric's eyes widen and started to sparkle as he ate more.

Jess sat down at the table. "The poor boy…" Oichi sighs. "Did you hear from your uncle?" "No, not yet." "I see…Mikey bought us time. He sent pictures to mama so hopefully we will hear something by the end of the day." "Does that mean Kendric will go back to his mother?" "For now. Mikey will be there to make sure Tory doesn't try any funny stuff." Mikey nods. "When they send child services, we can have him stay with Oichi until they get a case on Tory. Hopefully, your uncle can get some good stuff." Jess nods in agreement. "Trust me. My uncle won't fail and if he does, I have other methods that will help. No child deserves to grow up in an abusive environment. It's sad that the center is so full of these cases that there is nothing they can do about it." Ben looks down at thoughts started to fill his head.

Kendric finished his waffles. "A-Auntie?" Oichi looked down. "More…" Oichi smiled. "I'll teach you better manners one day." She reached over and put another waffle on the plate. She cut it up in small pieces to help him eat easier. "I hope mama can pull the case through. I don't want him back with Tory. It makes my skin crawl to know what she has been doing. Mikey I would lecture you on your choices of woman but…I'm glad that you were here for this." Mikey nods. "Yeah…let's hope this is all works out."

When Kendric ate his fill, he fell asleep on Oichi. She did not want to let him go but Mikey took him and headed back to Tory to wait on child services. Ben also took his leave thank Oichi for all her help. Then finally, they all left the hotel to head back home.

A few days passed; it was now the 17th of February. Jess was home cooking lunch in the kitchen. Ulquiorra was in the living room with Nova. She hums to herself as she cooked. Oichi was keeping her updated with the situation with Kendric. Child services had payed Tory a visit. They had deemed even though she lived in perfectly good manor it was no way she could have raised Kendric on her own for much longer. Also, they had taken Kendric from the home and sent him to the center to get properly checked. He had been there for the past day or so now. Mikey was with him and Oichi went to visit him. Tory was put under an investigation for child abuse and was placed under house arrest for the time being. Oichi had hoped that the court would allow Kendric to stay with her will the case was going. She really wanted to know if there was a way to keep him permanently, but it was one step at a time.

Also, from what Ulquiorra was telling her, the investigation on Aizen was ending. They had all the evidence they could get their hands on. They wanted Starrk to be the one to fully testify but he was still unable to be found. Grimmjow had now refused to take the stand but gave a detailed statement. Ulquiorra, Nel, and Nnoitra, did the same. The only one who would be taking the stand against him was Harribel snice she had been with him the longest. They planned to arrest Aizen and raid his company soon. Jess could not have been happier to hear that. She was sick of this cat and mouse game that was going on. Any longer and she would have made the choice to end this herself.

The doorbell rings, knocking Jess out of her thoughts. She cleans her hands and heads to the door just as Nova started to cry. She did not like the doorbell and Jess was thinking about either removing it or change the tune. Reaching the door, she opened it and gasp to see a handsome man with burgundy hair and deep forest green eyes that matched her own. He was wearing a dark green suit. Behind him closing the door to a limo, was another handsome man, with silver hair wearing a black suit and holding a suitcase. "Uncle Jetter!?" Jetter smiled. "Jess, my lovely niece. So nice to see you." "What are you doing here!?" Jetter chuckled. "Are you going to let me in?" Jess frowned and moved to the side. Jetter chuckled and walked in. Jess turned to the other man. "Oh Joy…you brought Frank." Frank smiled and bows. "Lady Jess, it has been a while." "So, like my uncle to bring you as a bodyguard." She walked away. He chuckled and closed the door behind him. They all headed to the living room, Where Ulquiorra was calming Nova down.

Jetter looked around the house and then his eyes landed on Ulquiorra. He frowned at him and then hid it behind a smile. "You must be Ulquiorra. So nice to finally meet the formal criminal who has stolen my nieces' heart and blessed her with a child." Jess frowned. "Be nice Uncle…" Jetter held out a hand. "As you know I am…" Ulquiorra looked at Jess. "Nova wet herself. I'll go change her while you talk. I'll bring her back down." Jess sighs. "Ulquiorra…" Ulquiorra walked by Jetter ignoring his handshake. Jetter frowned. "My, what a rude fellow…I didn't even get a chance to hold my great niece…" Jess rubs her head. "Uncle why are you here? You could have called first."

Jetter took a seat. "I brought you files on the woman you wanted. I figured I would come hand deliver them to you and to check out the area you have been living in. Also, I wanted to catch up with some old friends and be granted some favors that were owe to me." Jess sat down and crossed her legs. "What are you scheming now uncle…" Jetter puts on an innocent face. "What makes you think I have plans? Consider it a slight vacation you know. Even I need a small break." Jess raised her eyebrow. "Right…I'm sure you already know but your influence doesn't reach this far out…yet anyways…knowing you I'm sure you will try something." Jetter laughs. "My niece knows me well. I am not fully bother that I have no influence here. It is not like I need it. Half of this place is run by criminals all I need to do is wave money in their faces and I can get what I want. It is sad really. Why you picked such a place to live I will never know."

Jess sighed. "Can you get to the point. Where are the files." Frank walked around and sat down. "Should I put us on a cup of tea? Or something you favor?" He asked Jess. "No, this is a bit more important right now." She says. He placed the suitcase on the table and pulled out a thick file. He handed it to Jess whose eyes widen. "This is all of hers!?" "Yes, I was a bit surprised as well. The woman has quite a history. It is a wonder how she even got to be the wife of Barragan." Jess started to look through one of them. "Judging that you know him by the first name you must have known him?" "Oh yes, I plan to visit his grave later. We did not get along, but we made a very promising deal. One that would have given me a little influence here." "You just said you didn't care if you had…" "I know but, it wouldn't hurt. Moving on, everything you need is in that file. Now, when do I get to hold my darling great niece? Also, I would love to meet Oichi. I have a gift for her and her family. As an apology for everything, I hope." Jess closes the file. "She is at the children's hospital visiting Kendric. She should be home in a few minutes. Don't think buying her expensive gifts will change her opinion. But I must warn you both that if you mess with Grimmjow she will possibly get pissed and kick you out her home. She's very protective of the jerk." Jetter sighs. "Yes, that man. I will have Frank hold back should he come off as disrespectful." Jess rolls her eyes.

Ulquiorra walked back downstairs with Nova. She was smiling while holding his finger. "Love, can you let my uncle hold Nova?" Ulquiorra let out a sigh and then nods. He handed Nova to Jetter. He smiled brightly. "Amazing. She is the spitting image of you! How adorable! I cannot wait to spoil her up." Jess shakes her head. Jetter's smile soften. "If your mother were here, she would be thrilled to hold her granddaughter. I hope you know that she is enormously proud of you." Jess smiled. "Yeah…I know." Nova looked at Jetter with a blank look. "Hello little Nova. I am your uncle. It's nice to finally meet and hold you." Nova did not react to him at all. He blinks and looked at Ulquiorra who also had a blank look. "I see…it looks like you got a special trait from your dad. How…annoying…" Nova frowned and started to fuss in his arms. Jess chuckled. "Careful. She is a daddy's girl. She may be a baby but, she knows when her dad is being insulted.

Jetter bounced her. "There, there, don't cry." Nova grabbed his finger and squeezed hard. Jetter's eyes widen as he felt a crack in his finger. He jumped up, pulling his finger away. Nova started crying loudly. Jess gasp as Ulquiorra took Nova away from Jetter. "Uncle are you okay?" Jetter held his finger. "She has…quite a strong grip already… I think she broke my finger…" Jess frowned. "I'm sorry, her strength comes in pulses really." Ulquiorra bounces Nova, taking her to the kitchen. A soft smile came to his face. "Good girl…" He whispers.

Frank got up. "Lady Jess, your first aid kit?" "In the bathroom, down the hall on the right." Frank nodded and rushed to the bathroom. Jetter chuckled. "Quite interesting…"

At the children's hospital, Oichi was sitting down watching a nurse change Kendric's bandages. They wanted to keep him for a week. He was very malnourished and needed to be kept on a diet to make sure he did not get sick from eating. Toshiro had taken more pictures of him to send to Unohana for a full report. She would be later in today to see Kendric herself. She was currently getting a case ready for Tory. Kendric yawns. "Hungry…" He says rubbing his eyes. The nurse smiled. "Your lunch will be here soon Kendric. Let me finish bandaging you back up." "Just wait a little a bit more hunny." Oichi says.

When the nurse was done, she left to get the food. Oichi rubbed Kendric's head. "How are you feeling hun?" Kendric rubs his tummy. Oichi chuckled. "Don't worry, she will bring you back something yummy." Kendric frowned. "…Want your food auntie…food not good…" Oichi chuckled and grabbed her bag. She pulled out a homemade fruit bar that she started making for Grayson. She opened it and broke it in half. "Here sweetie. This is a secret okay." She says putting a finger to her lips. Kendric eyes sparkled and nodded as he took the bar and started eating it. He hums out, making Oichi giggled. 'He is so cute when he hums out to eat. I just want to snuggle him!' She squeals internally.

The door opened right as Kendric finished the bar. The nurse chuckled as he brushed his hands off and hide them under the blanket. Oichi chuckles as well. "To cute." "I have some food for you Kendric." She puts the tray down and shows him his regular meal. Cut up chicken and broccoli, with a cup of peas, some applesauce, and a cup of both water and juice. Oichi helped him sit up and helped with the tray. Handing him a plastic fork he started to eat slow. He didn't hum at all while eating, showing that he didn't like it. "Ms. Yamamoto may I speak to you for a moment." Oichi nodded and got up. They moved ear shot of Kendric. "Ms. Yamamoto. I know you care a lot for the boy…" "His name is Kendric…" Oichi says with a frowned. "I'm sorry. I know you care a lot for Kendric but, he has to follow this diet strictly. No short cuts." "I understand this. But a simple fruit bar couldn't hurt and he is eating everything you bring out even if he doesn't like it."

The nurse frowned. "I cooked those meals myself. Excuse me for saying, but no child has turned their nose up at my food." Oichi had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. "I didn't say that you couldn't cook but Ken doesn't like your food but, like a good boy he eats it so he can get better." The nurse was getting upset, over the wrong things to Oichi's annoyance. "My food here is the greatest! I just think you are spoiling him to much. He has to eat what was given to him." Oichi sighed. "Again, I understand. It was only a half of bar and after what he has been through, he has the right to be spoiled." The door opened and Unohana walked in with a folder. "Oh, Oichi, I didn't know you were still here." "Yes, I was about to leave when your nurse here caught me for feeding Ken a fruit bar." Unohana laughs. "There is nothing wrong with giving him a fruit bar." The nurse frowned. "But…"

Oichi pulled out the bar. "I assure you it has nothing but fruit and good vitamins in. I know his diet has to be strict, but this couldn't hurt him much." She walked back to Kendric with the nurse and Unohana following her. Kendric had a frown on his face as he ate. He has not touched his applesauce at all. "Kenny you have to eat." "Food not good…" He says mumbling. The nurse looked away slightly embarrassed. Oichi held up the bar. "If you finish your food you can have the rest of the bar." Kendric perked up and looked down at the food. Going back to his normal speed of eating, he quickly finished his plate. "I finished!" He says with an excited tone. Oichi laughs and handed him the bar. He bit into it and hums out happily. Unohana laughs. "How adorable. Looks like he didn't like the food. Maybe I'll have his diet changed a bit." The nurse sighs out.

Oichi looked at her watch and frowned. "I have to go…but Mikey should be on his way here." Unohana nodded. "Everything will be in the file, once I am finished." Oichi sits on the side of the bed and pokes Kendric's cheek. "You behave okay? Uncle Mikey will be here in a bit. I have to go pick up my girls okay. I'll be back tomorrow after work." Kendric frowned. "No…stay auntie…" "I'll be back tomorrow sweetie. I promise okay?" Kendric kept his frowned but nodded. She bends down and kisses his forehead and then rubbed his cheek.

The door then opened, and Mikey walked in. He had a basket of fruit and sweets in his hands. "Oichi? What are you still doing here?" He asked. Oichi got up and walked to him. "Waiting on you to get here. I'm leaving now." She kissed his cheek and left. Kendric looks down. "Auntie…" Mikey walked up and took a seat. "She will be back tomorrow. I got you a gift once your exam is over." He held up the basket. "Oooo!" Kendric says looking at it. Mikey chuckled.

At the daycare, Oichi arrived less than 15 minutes breaking the speeding laws in a rare fashion. Chad's car was there. Parking beside it she went inside and headed to the office where she heard Chad and Rose talking. "I um…I want to thank you for looking after Elijah and Bella." "Huh? Well it kinda my job to do that…" "Yeah…sorry…" "Don't apologize or whatever. I'm here to look after the kids." "…You are helping Eli stand up for himself." "Yeah, but I shouldn't have to. You're his father, aren't you? A world class boxer? Teach the kid to stop being a cry baby. Unless he wants his sister to always fight his battles for him." "I know but, Eli has had a…" Rose sighs. "You men, always with your excuses." Chad went silent. Oichi shook her head and walked up to the door. She knocked on it to make herself known.

Chad smiled. "Hello, Oichi." "Hi Chad, Mila…" "Hey, the twins and Elijah are sleeping in the nap room. Nel already came by and got Grayson." "Thanks Mila. Chad would you like to walk with me?" "Sure." He glanced at Rose and flashed her a smile. "Thank you for your time…" Rose turned her head. Chad walked out the door. Oichi frowned and shook her head. "Learn how to take a freaking compliment." Rose blinked. "Say what?" "Don't be rude Mila. Chad was thanking you for your help. Eli has been through a lot, way more then a child should have to go through. Seriously, do not berate Chad for his fathering skills. He is amazing at what he does and is a great father. Downplay him again and you will make me angry." She walked out to catch up with Chad.

Rose huffs out and leans on her elbow. "…I didn't mean for that to sound mean…" She sighs and looks down at her hand. 'A great father…that is true.' Chad's smile flashed through her head and she gasp as she felt something in her chest bump faster. Her face started to get a bit hot. "W-What the hell?"

Chad and Oichi walked to the children's room. Oichi huffed out. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snoop." "It's alright. I just wanted to thank her for her help." Oichi looked up at him and saw his face was a bit flushed. Her eyes widen and then giggled. "Do you…like Mila?" Chad stops. "What do you mean?" Oichi nudged him. "Come on Chad. You can't hide that from me. Your so innocent that it makes someone like me easy to read you. I didn't think Mila was your type." Chad rubbed his head. "I didn't know I had a type…she is…She is amazing Oichi. I watch her play with the kids even if she has an annoyed look on her face. She has a calm yet, beastly aura around her and takes charge. It's actually a bit scary but I can't help feel drawn to her." Oichi's smiled brightly. "Wow Chad? I don't think I've ever heard you speak about someone like that. You should ask her out on a date!" Chad frowned. "…a date…" "Yes! Me and Grimmjow can watch Eli and you can take Bella over to Emma's. Something simple. A movie, dinner, a nice walk in the park or something…or whatever you consider as a simple date." She hooks her arm around his. "This is so exciting! I'm so happy that you took an interest in someone!" Chad could not help but chuckle. "Thanks…I guess?"

Back at Jess's, she was feeding Nova while Ulquiorra was in the living room with Jetter and Frank. Jetter's finger was wrapped up. "So…Jess tells me you are in the construction business." "I am to a degree. It's Grimmjow's company. I just do the actual paperwork for it." "I see…and tell me how your life has been since you dropped down and swoon my niece?" Ulquiorra did a simple glace at him. It sent a shiver down Jetter's spine, but he put on a strong face. "Fine…" Ulquiorra says. "Just Fine…you should be lucky to have a woman of her Caliber. A strong, beautiful, woman with a kind soul just like her mother. Has she told you anything about her? Her mother…" "…Her name was Dawn…She passed away in a car accident…I didn't pry any further."

"I see…Then in her place I will tell you this. Should you harm Jess in any way, no one in this city will be able to hide you from me. Do I make myself clear?" He says in a commanding voice. Ulquiorra's look did not change. In fact, during Jetter's polite threat he had taken out his phone and started doing some work on it. Jetter's eyes twitched slightly. 'Why this uncultured brat…' Jess came back in holding Nova who yawned. "Love, she's ready for a nap. She won't sleep unless her dad holds her." Ulquiorra got off his phone and took Nova. She looked up at him and smiled before yawning again. She cuddled up in his arms. Jess smiled. "She looks so happy when you hold her." She then pouted. "I wish she would look at me that way. I guess this is how Oichi feels with the girls…"

Jetter chuckled. "Speaking of Oichi, is she home yet?" Jess sighs and grabs Ulquiorra's phone. She dials Oichi's number and put it on speaker. It rings twice before she picks up. "Hello?" "Hey Oichi. It's me, Jess." "Oh? Hey Jess. Lose your phone again?" Jess blushed. "N-No. Are you home yet?" "I'm just leaving the day care with the twins. Why? Did you need something?" "No, will Grimmjow be there?" "Ehhh….he should meet me at the same time depending on how work is. Hey, what's up with the questions?" "No reason, I'll be over in a bit." "Okay…oh! Before you hang up I have some news!" "What? Your having more twins?" Oichi chuckled. "No it's just one baby in this belly this time around. It's about Chad! He finally took a interest in someone!" Jess's eyes widen. "Really!? I…" She looked around and frowned. "We can discuss this another time." "Alright, well see you in a bit I guess." Jess hangs up.

Jetter sighs. "Why didn't you tell her I was here?" "I don't want her to be defensive. I am coming with you to see her, so she does not snap at you. She is pregnant and I do not want to risk her emotions flaring up. I am going to change. I'll be right back." She heads upstairs. Jetter shakes his head. "Frank go get the limo ready." "Of course, Lord Jetter." He grabs the suitcase and heads out the door. Ulquiorra was watching Nova as she slept. When she slept, she usually hums out like a small tune. Jetter chuckled. "Jess hummed out when she slept as a baby as well. You have a good thing going boy. Try not to mess it up?" Ulquiorra looked up and then looked at Jetter.

"I don't need someone like you to tell me not to mess this up." Jetter narrowed his eyes. "Excuse me?" "I do not repeat myself. I'm sure you heard me the first time." Ulquiorra said in a flat tone. The air started to get tense around them. "You are getting pretty cocky there. You do know I can make your life a living hell if you so much as do anything to Jess's and Nova's happiness?" "I've already seen hell plenty of times. There is nothing you can do it me." He stands up. "When I almost lost Jess, that is a hell that I will never allow to happen ever again. It weighs more on my chest then you could ever imagine." Jetter's eyes widen slightly. "Almost lost…what do you mean by that!?" Ulquiorra headed to the stairs and a tiny smirked appeared on his lips. "Guess you don't know every little thing. Shocking…" He says in almost a mocking tone." He headed upstairs. Jetter bit his lip and then sighs out. 'It is official…I do not like him at all…'

Oichi arrived home and saw Grimmjow out in the driveway talking to Danni. Her car was parked behind his. They moved out of the driveway and watched her park. Oichi turned the car off and got out. "Hi Mama." Danni skipped to the car. "Hi sweetie!" She opened the back door to see the twins still sleeping. "Hello my cute, sleeping, adorable grandbabies!" Oichi chuckled. "Figures." Grimmjow walked over and grabbed her things from work. He then kissed her forehead. "How are you feeling?" "Tired. Jess is coming over in a bit." Grimmjow sighs. "Of course, she is. Doesn't she have her own kid and future husband to bother." Oichi let out a soft laugh. "I think she is bringing someone over." "Greaaaat…" Grimmjow says. Danni had the twin's bags and car seats. "Get my daughter off her feet Grim." She says walking by him. Grimmjow shakes his head and grabs Oichi's hand. "I'll make you something to snack on."

About 20 minutes later, Jess arrived in the limo with Jetter and Frank. Jess got out the back wearing a black shirt with a jean jacket on and blue skinny jeans with white converses. Jetter stepped out behind her and looked at the house. "Well, looks like little Oichi is living her best life." "She's been through a lot…she takes pride in her work but, never forgets to stay humble." Jess says heading to the front door. Jetter and Frank walked behind her. Jess knocks and waited. "Why not ring the doorbell?" "Everyone mainly stays in the living room, dining room area so no one really uses the bell at times." They waited until they heard a click. Grimmjow opened the door with a frown. He looked up at Jetter and Frank. "…Jess…" "I'll explain everything. Can we come in?" Grimmjow opened the door and they walked inside. Jess led them to the living room where they saw Danni on the floor playing with the girls who were now awake.

Danni was holding up Naomi. "Who's the cutest grandbaby in the world!? You are!" She says and snuggles Naomi who squeals out in laughter. Alisha was standing up and holding on to Danni's legs. "Na! Na!" She called out. Danni put Naomi down. "Aw! You called me nana! I'm so overjoyed I could cry!"

Jess chuckled. "No time for waterworks yet Auntie." Danni chuckled and turned her to. Her face then went cold to see Jetter. "Jess…" "I know…I know…I can explain. Is Oichi upstairs?" "Yeah…you might want to let her in on this before she comes down." "Right." Jess rushed upstairs. Jetter took a seat. "Danni, nice to see you again." "Sure it is." Danni says going back to play with the girls. Frank smiles brightly as he sat down. "Danni…it's been awhile." Danni smiles at him. "Yes, so it seems." "You have gotten more beautiful over the times. You have a special glow about you." "Mhmm…thanks I suppose." "How have you been?" "Great. Taking a break from work. Spending it with my grandkids. Hoping for more." Frank chuckled until he noticed a hicky on her neck when Naomi pulled her hair. He bit his lip slightly before turning his head. 'Was I to late…'

Upstairs, Oichi was coming out of the bathroom. She rubs her belly. "You have quite some timing little one." She was wearing a pair of yoga pants and a blue t-shirt. There was a knock on the door. "Oichi? Can I come in?" It was Jess. "Sure, I was about to come out." Jess opened the door. "Hey." "Hey. What's up?" "Well…my uncle got the files on Tory. It's pretty thick." Oichi smiled. "Really? Wow, this is awesome. I guess I owe my thanks to him." Jess rubbed her head. "Right…actually…he um…he is here. Downstairs, right now." Oichi's smiled dropped. "Before you get upset just know that he popped up on me. Please sis, just hear him out?" Oichi sighs. "Fine…" Jess grabbed her hand.

They walked downstairs. Danni was still playing with the girls until they saw Oichi. "Mama!" They screamed out. "MAMA!" Naomi pulled away from Danni and stood up. She trots over to Oichi and hugs her leg. Oichi smiled and picked her up. "Careful Oichi. You can't keep picking her up you know." "I know, I know." Oichi says hugging Naomi. She looked to see Jetter who smiled softly at her. "My, my…you have grown into a beautiful woman Oichi." "…Thank you…" Oichi says going over to sit down. She put Naomi down and watched her walk back over to Danni. "Jess says you have the files on Tory?" Jetter nodded as Frank put the suitcase down. He took the files out and handed them to her. "Thank you, Frank. Nice to see you again." Frank smiles and nods.

Oichi flips through the files. "I thought it would be thicker…thank you for the help." Oichi says in a flat tone. Jetter kept his smile. "You are welcome. I would do anything for you and Jess. All you need to do is ask." "I would have asked my dad, but he is elsewhere, you were the only option left." Oichi says closing the file. Jetter frowned and then rubbed his fingers through his hair. "Oichi, I know you are still upset with me, but we are all adults here now? You should not hold your anger over my head? It is a bit childish don't you think?" Jess frowned. "Really Uncle…what did I just tell you at the house?" "Mama…can you take the twins upstairs?" Oichi says. "Gladly, before I have to knock him through the wall." Danni says glaring at Jetter.

Danni grabs the twins and heads upstairs. Oichi links her fingers on the files and sighs. "You thought, this place was no good for Jess." Oichi says. Jetter kept his frown. "That isn't it." "It is…you thought she was better than this place and figured you would do 'what's best for her' and you took her." Oichi closes her eyes. "Oichi dear that isn't…" "Let her talk Uncle." Jess says. Oichi opened her eyes and looked at him. "For years, I was angry at you. I even consider that I hated you. The only reason why my anger did not turn to hate was because you let me visit Jess every now and then until after we graduated our different schools and I thank you for that. Even so, deep anger was still held in my heart. You didn't even give Jess a choice in what she wanted to do."

She looked down at her hands. "It was frustrating trying to figure out what you just assumed she would be better elsewhere…it…it wasn't fair…" She squeezes her hands together. Jetter gave her a sad look. "Oichi I…" Jess gave him a look that told him to shut up. "However, now that I am a mother of my own, I finally figured out why you did what you did. You wanted a better life for Jess and honestly by looking at this place, there isn't much of a future here. I want the best for my little girls and all the kids around here. I want them to see that even if you from a different upbringing you can choose who you want to be and walk down a path of their own choices. So, in a way you are right. It is a bit childish to hold on to that anger for you." Jetter smiles brightly. "I am happy that you agree. I honestly wanted Jess to feel like she didn't have only one choice in life. I wanted her to see that if this free style life of hers didn't work out that she still could have another one."

Oichi sighs as she flips through the files. "I suppose…" Jess rubs her back. "Thank you sis…" She whispered. "More so." Jetter says. "I have a special gift for you." "Really now…" Oichi says unimpressed. "Frank?" Frank nodded and went outside to the limo. Grimmjow walked out with a plate of finger sandwiches on it. "Here, eat this." He says. Oichi smiled and grabbed two. She pops them in her mouth. "So yummy!" She says chewing. Jess chuckled. "Can I have one?" "No. I didn't cook for you I cooked for my woman." Jess frowns and rolls her eyes. "Ass…"

Jetter frowned at Grimmjow. "You are quite a rude brat." Grimmjow looked at him. "And you look like a stuck up prissy old man." "Grimmjow…" Oichi says patting his arm. Jetter signs. "Honestly, I worry about you and Jess. Having such ruffians for lovers but, I commend you both for taming such a rag tag bunch." Grimmjow eye twitched. "Who the fuck are you calling…" "Honey! Please…don't…not today." Grimmjow glared at Jetter and stormed off into the kitchen. Jetter chuckled. "A wild beast just like the report said. Well done in training him Oichi." Oichi sighs. "Please stop upsetting him or I will have to ask you to leave." "My apologizes." Jetter says with a sly smirk on his face.

Frank walked back in carrying a large box. He sat it down in front of Oichi and opened it up. Her eyes widen along with Jess's. Inside the boxes were different colors or rare fabric that was hard to come by. Oichi put the folders down and reached in to grab some. "Whoa…some of these fabrics aren't even in stock anymore. No one can get these at all…" Jetter crossed his legs. "As Jess explained to me a few days ago, you are not the type to take a simple bottle of expensive wine, or Jewelry. I knew you still had a knit for fashion, and I was surprised that you know own not only a store but a division that supports fashion. I am impressed and proud of you." Oichi rubbed the fabric and sighs. "Don't think this is all over…but thank you." Jetter smiles brightly. "Since you like them so much, I could be your suppler." Jess sighs. "Uncle, come on…" "I am a businessman dear. I have to try." Oichi leans back on the couch and Jess could feel a vibe change around her. "That isn't my call. I'm sure you know that." Jetter eyes lit up slightly and he sat up straight. "Yes, you have to talk to your head boss but think about how this will be for not only your division but the store as well. Having high brand fabric from such a wealthy benefactor will surely give you a big boost in your career." Oichi crossed her fingers. "Let's say this become a thing. How much will I owe you to have this in sales." Jetter rubs his chin. "I say…a 70/30 spilt in my favor." "Uncle!" Jess says. "You would be laughed at for a deal like that." Oichi says staying calm. Jess blinks and sinks back into the chair.

"Yes, you do provide the fabric but what you would need is someone to buy them, sell them, and make them into a profit. To most people this is nothing but useless trash but to someone with my skills I can make them into the most amazing pieces of fashion that you would ever see. Fabric is nothing without a creative mind to bend the shape into it. So how about we do a 40/ 60 spilt in my favor. If this does go well than we can talk more about that. However. If this does fail, you won't take much of a hit like I would." Jetter ponders this. "Interesting choice of words little Oichi…your father has taught you well." "No, he hasn't taught me much, but I've been in more of these with different high-ranking people. I learn from my mistakes and I get more insight for a next opportunity to expand my own brand." Jetter chuckles. "I see…you have grown from that shy child I met so long ago." Jess was overly impressed at the conversation. She was going to step in, but it seems like Oichi handled it very well. "Are you serious about helping Oichi?" "Of course! If she let's me. I hope that if I do, she will forgive me for splitting you two apart. I truly feel awful for what happened, but I assure I only wanted what was best for Jess."

Oichi let out a sigh. "I know…thank you for the gift. It was kind of you. The files as well. Hopefully, we can get Kendric our of her claws for good." Jetter nods. "I see that the center is being overrun. I thought they would have catered more to these types of situation." Oichi chuckled. "A lot has changed…the center is running full force but, the petty war against Aizen has run thin. Without a head in charge over there, the center doesn't have room to help them or stop them from collapsing on itself." Jetter rubs his chin. "I see…I'd like to hear more about the situation. I can have Frank cook you a wonderful meal for you and the kids and of course…your lover in there." Frank smiles. "I can make you pudding cups." Oichi eyes lit up slightly until she cleared her throat. "N-No thank you. I can't really tell you much other than personal experience. Plus, I'm sure Jess needs to get back to Nova and Ulquiorra." "Actually, I was cooking over there. Why don't we all have dinner at my place?"

Grimmjow came out with a frown. "Why…so we can be questioned and judged by your fancy noble side." Oichi looked backed at him. "Honey…at least we wouldn't have to cook tonight?" Grimmjow growled under his breath. "You don't have to come." Jetter says. "I look forward to the company of my adorable niece and little Oichi way more then the company of men." Jess blushed. "Can you stop calling me that…" "I am not leaving my woman with a creep like you. I'll go get the twins ready." Grimmjow says with a glare at Jetter. He mumbled a few cusses under his breath as he stormed off. Frank cracked his knuckles. "Shall I punish him my lord?" Oichi frowned. "You touch Grimmjow and I'll make you sorry. I won't forgive even you Frank so back off." Frank sighs. "Of course…" Jetter shakes his head. "My, very overprotective…" "I told you…" Jess says getting up. "Let us go. I'll see you over in a bit?" Oichi nods. She watches them leaves and then looks down at the file. Grabbing the cordless phone, she dialed Mikey's number. She waited until he picked up. "Hey sis, Ken just went to sleep." "That's good. Jetter is here." "Ha…the prick came down from his throne? Surprised." "He isn't all bad. Cut him a little slack. Plus, he brough the files on Tory. That should be a pass, right?" No. It is not. I still hate him." "You and Grimmjow both…anyways, I'm going over to Jess's for dinner. Come get the files and bring them back to Unohana yeah?" "Yeah, I can slip over there with the extra key I swiped." Oichi chuckled. "Okay. I'll leave it on the table."

Danni walked down the stairs with a pout. Oichi chuckled. "You can have play time with the girls later mama." "I know, I know, I'm going over to your sisters. She has yet to tell me how her first time with Hisagi went." "Ooo! Let me know to! She has been avoiding me!" Oichi says. Danni nods and walked out the door.

Getting down the stairs she noticed Jess has not left yet, in fact she was yelling at Jetter about something. Frank was standing a bit away not wanting to get into the crossfire unless he needed to. Spotting Danni he smiled and walked over to her. "Heading home?" "Going to see my other daughters. What is going on?" "Lady Jess is lecturing Lord Jetter about how he called Oichi childish. I didn't want to get in the middle unless I was needed." Danni crossed her arms. "Good. I would hate to have to kill both you and Jetter." Frank chuckled and then placed his hand in his pocket. "So, Danni are you…free tonight?" Danni turns to him and gave him a sad smile. "Sorry Franky, but I'm a taken woman again." Frank sighs and smiles softly. "I see…I was much to late huh." Danni shrugs and then nudged him with her arm gently. "That night we spent together…It's a night I will never forget. It had been a while since I was held so…passionately. I hate thinking that our small fling could not have been more. I wouldn't have mind starting a family with you one day." Frank chuckled. "I feel the same. It saddens me that I'll never be able to hold you like that again. I am happy that you found someone though. However, should he ever give you any trouble know, that I am just a phone call away." Danni chuckled and walked to her car.

She frowned at Jess and Jetter. "Hey! Excuse me!?" Jetter and Jess jumped. "A-Auntie?" "It is rude to do whatever you are doing in someone else's driveway! Mainly my daughter's driveway! Get a move on now before I slam you through that damn car!" She snaps at them, really glaring only at Jetter. He gulps and quickly get into the limo. Jess let out a laugh. "Between you and mama it is always funny to see you both put him in his place." Danni chuckled. "Your mother wouldn't have approved of him having his way. I do not mind taking her place to keep him steady. Make sure you feed Oichi well. Ta-Ta!" She says getting into the car. She starts it and drives off to Florina's house.

Frank walked over with a sigh. Jess shakes her head. "Leave it Frank. She is happy with the man she has now." "I know Lady Jess…" Frank says with a heavy heart. Jess got in the back and he closed the door. He got in the front and drove back to her house.

In Hueco Mundo, Ikkaku and Yumichika were sitting in an undercover car doing a stake out. The office had just gotten word that Tosen had been spotted around the city with some unsettling people. Ikkaku sighs out as he sips on his coffee. "I hate state outs. Why are we doing this again!" Yumichika was looking at the mirror brushing his hair. "Well, Rangiku is on another assignment and honestly would you want her in here complain about how bored she is?" Ikkaku sighs. "True statement…" "We use, to leave this stuff to Renji but he has his own desk job now just like Hisagi and Kira. Plus, I don't think Hisagi has the guts to see his former boss again." Ikkaku rolled his eyes. "That's what makes him weak. That bastard is a traitor. Any respect for him should have already been lost."

They both sat there in silence. "Isn't Testuzaemon suppose to be here with coffee. Why can't that idiot do anything right!" Ikkaku says leaning back in the car. "No need to get upset, you were the one to pick him instead of a more profound member of a squad." He chuckled. Ikkaku groans out until he heard a knock on his window. They jumped and saw Iba standing there with coffee in his hands. He smirked as he got in the back seat. "Looks like you both are slacking off!" He yelled suddenly. Yumichika held his ear. "No need to yell we are literally right here." They took their coffee.

"So, anything happening yet?" Iba asked. "No. Nothing. I am starting to think Aizen is pulling our leg for one last bout. He has been silent for the past month with his business failing and all. How about you? Any luck on finding Starrk?" "No, he is like a ghost. Everything about him just disappeared like he did not exist. Oichi's father has not contacted her so all we have is Harribel's statements and the others testimony. That will be enough along with the evidence we have collected so far. Finally, we can put the rat bastard in jail where he belongs." Yumichika frowned. "Okay…we got that but what about Luppi? He is still on the run and he is still after Oichi. I know Danni's team is on it, but the trail seems like it is going cold." Ikkaku sips on his coffee. "Oichi refuses to go into a witness protection protocol. So, she was offered a portal unit to run through her street every now and then. If Luppi makes a move on her at her home, she will be safe." Yumichika bit the back of his nail. He had a strange vibe running though his body. Like something bad was going to happen.

Just then, two black cars pulled up to a building. Ikkaku sat up. "Finally some activity!" "Shh!" Iba says. "Get the camera ready." Yumichika pulled out a camera and started snapping pictures. First of the cars. The doors opened and a bunch of men poured out. Two of them were holding large suitcases. Out of the second car, in the backseat, Tosen walked out. He looked around and brushed himself off. Behind him was a young boy with bright yellow hair and a lost look in his eyes. One of the men grabbed him roughly and pulled him harshly inside the building. Tosen walked inside with the others following him. Yumichika had captured all the pictures and sat back. "He is up to something…who was that kid?" "I don't know but judging how they ragged doll him in there, he isn't with them." Ikkaku frowned. "We need to go in there." "No, we can't leave our post." Iba says. "If this were a regular state out, I would agree but they have a kid in there! You really want to wait and see what happens!?" "We have orders! We can't abandon them!" "What!? You could never cut it in our division! Your weakness and lack of damn skill will never get you to a high position! You can stay here and follow your own orders; we are going in!" Ikkaku yelled. "Let's go Yumichika." Yumichika nodded. They grabbed their guns and got out the car leaving Iba alone.

"Damn fools. It didn't cross your minds that this could be a trap…" He grabbed his gun and got out the car to follow them.

Ikkaku and Yumichika checked out the car and saw no one was inside. They nodded at each other and opened the door. The building was more like an old apartment complex. Walking in they searched the rooms with Iba as backup. When it was clear they found a set of stairs and went up them. Reaching the top floor, they slowed down their walking as they heard voices. "We aren't getting paid enough for this…" A voice called out. "Shut up…it's not like you have anything better to do. Without Aizen's rule you really think you got a chance in the center? I'd rather die then to be sat in some cell awaiting their judgement on me." "I agree. Screw their rules, we live how we want."

Yumichika and Iba got beside the door and looked at Ikkaku. Ikkaku nods and rushed the door, kicking it up he held his gun up. "FREEZE! NO BODY MOVES!" He yelled. Yumichika and Iba jumped out beside him ready to shoot. There were 6 men inside. They all looked unsurprised. The two suitcases were sitting on an empty table in the room. "Looks like we got visitors…" Ikkaku narrowed his eyes. "Cut the crap. Where is the kid and where is Tosen!" They chuckled. "I won't ask again…" Ikkaku says walking forward. "You are all under arrest, now tell us where Tosen is." Iba says walking in. Yumichika frowned looking at the suitcase.

"The kid now!" Ikkaku says. The men smirked and reached for the suitcases. "Stop! Don't you move or we will shoot you! Answer the damn question!" Iba yelled. "Whoa now coppers. You might want to take a look at this…" The man opened the suitcases. Their eyes widen as they saw a time counting down from five. "It's a…!" Iba says. Suddenly both Ikkaku and Iba were grabbed by Yumichika and pulled back out of the room. Ikkaku eyes widen as the countdown in the suitcase went down to one. He saw Yumichika smile at him right as everything went up into a light.

The building exploded forcing the building to catch fire. A second explosion happened, bring the building down. Outside near an unmarked car, Tosen was standing there looking at the building. "My, what a destructive way to silence some pestering rats…isn't that right Wonderweiss…" He heard a groan from the backseat of the car. He shook his head and pulled out his phone. He dialed a number on his phone. "911 what is your emergency." "Yes, I'm calling from the Morgan street, I saw a man with a bald head run into a building and now it's on fire. Please send help." He hangs up the phone. "If you three aren't dead then I hope you three will live in regret that I saved your life. Either way, it puts Aizen's plans into action." He got into the car and it drove off. Wonderweiss looked back into the window, watching the flames ingulf the building.

At Jess's, Ulquiorra was putting down a play mat for the twins. Frank was in the kitchen getting dinner ready. Oichi was sitting down holding Alisha and Jess was holding Naomi who was standing on her lap bouncing. "Yay! Yay!" She yelled clapped. Jess giggled at her. Grimmjow was on the floor holding Nova, something he was forced to do by Jess. He didn't complain since Nova eyes were sparkling at him. "Hmm…I think I was in this situation before." Oichi chuckled. "Yeah, when we were forced to babysit Ichika." Grimmjow hums out. "Ah yeah…I gave her the nickname of dumpling. Would you like a nickname, mini monster Jess." Jess frowned as Oichi tried to hold a laugh in. "Really? Monster?" "Fine, Gorilla monster…happy?" Jess narrowed her eyes. "Such a freaking jerk…" Grimmjow ignored her. "Let's see…how about…Sunshine?" Nova's face went blank. "Ugh, I agree…hmm…how about…Dove?" Nova puffed her cheeks out. "Your right…that name sucks…Damn this is hard." He tapes his chin. "Ah! How about Ladybug?" Nova's eyes sparkled again, and she let out a cute baby giggle. "Bingo. Your Ladybug right along with dumpling."

Ulquiorra sighs. "I don't approve of you calling my daughter Ladybug…" "Oh yeah? Well tough shit. You can get in line behind Renji." Grimmjow says. "Isn't that right Ladybug." Nova smiled and wiggled in his arms. "See she likes it." Jess shook her head. "Just let it be honey." Jetter walked down the stairs. "I see you all are enjoying yourself." Ulquiorra let out a sigh and walked up to Jess. Naomi smiled brightly as she reached up to Ulquiorra. "UP! UP!" She yelled in a excited voice. Jess chuckled as she held her up. Ulquiorra took her and watched as she snuggled up in his chest. "Awwww!" Oichi and Jess says together. "So cute!" Ulquiorra avoid their looks until Alisha stood up on Oichi's lap. "U-Up!" She says holding out her hands. Oichi smiled and held her up. "Can't hold one without the other Uncle Ulquiorra." Jess giggled at this. Ulquiorra took Alisha who also cuddled into his chest. Grimmjow frowned at this. "Hey! What the hell!?" He gets up with an excited looking Nova in his arms. "You both are too silly…" Oichi says. "When are you and Ulquiorra going to have more kids!" Oichi says to Jess. She blushes. "O-Oh well…um…it's not like we aren't planning or anything. We have the wedding to focus on and the shop that's opening…" Oichi smiled. Jetter took a seat. "Grimmjow was it, may I hold Nova?" "Eh? Ladybug is pretty happy in my arms."

"I haven't had the chance to bond with her yet. Do not make me ask again boy." Oichi rolled her eyes. "Grim…" Grimmjow groans out. "Fine." He handed Nova to Jetter who smiled down at her. "Hello again Nova." Nova gave him a blank stare and turned her head towards Grimmjow. She frowned to see him leaving and heading to the twins. "Don't hog MY daughters." Grimmjow says with a low growl. Ulquiorra ignored him and took the twins to the playmat. Jetter sat Nova up a bit, trying to get her attention. "Come on hunny, look at me." Nova turned to him and he smiled. "There we go. I am going to make sure to spoil you right up." He chuckled. Nova puffed her cheeks out and tears started to come to her eyes. "Wha…n-no no sweetie don't…" Nova suddenly bursts into tears. Jetter frowned and tried to bounce her to calm her down but it made her cry louder.

The twins, who were now sitting on the floor turned to her with a curious look on their face. Ulquiorra started to walk to Jetter. Jess could feel an uneasy vibe coming from him. Jess stood up and placed a hand on his chest. "Calm down love. Nova just needs some time to get use to him okay? Do not be mad." Grimmjow raised his eyebrow. "You can tell if he is mad or not? weirdo…" He walked to Jetter. "Hey there Ladybug, your making a huge racket you know." Nova started to calm down. She sniffed and looked at Grimmjow. "Is your old worn out piece of shit uncle giving you a hard time? You don't like him, right? Well you can join the club huh?" Nova smiled at him. "There you go. A nice big smile." Jetter could feel a hint of anger rising out of him but on the flip side he was glad Nova wasn't crying anymore. Grimmjow reached down and took Nova from him. "I was still holding her…" Jetter said. "You were upsetting her by the looks of it and look, she seems to be much happier with me." Grimmjow smirked and walked over to the playmat.

Jetter let out a deep sigh and ran his fingers through his hair. Jess shakes her head. "Uncle do not take it personally. Nova is use to Grimmjow. It may take a while before you win her over. For right now let her be happy." Grimmjow let out victorious chuckled and sat down on the play mat with the twins. "Dada!" Naomi screams out. She got up and wobbled over to him and grabbed his pants leg. "DADA!" She screams again. "I hear you Nao." Grimmjow says helping Alisha to her feet. She stumbled a bit as she walked. Naomi started to bounce while holding on to his pants leg. Oichi took out her phone. "So cute! I need pictures and videos! You are so adorable when babies flock to you!" Jess chuckled. "Agreed. I wonder how people will see you when they learned 'big bad' Grimmjow is nothing but a softy when it comes to kids." She says teasingly. "I'll just beat the hell out of them. Simple." Grimmjow says sitting Nova up so the twins can look at her. Jess sat down with a groan. "As always, such a barbaric answer. Oichi how can you put up with this?" Oichi hums out. "It's one of his charms?" She says shrugging. "Ha charms of what? An animal?" Jess says sitting back on the chair. "An animal that stole my heart." Oichi says with a giggle, snapping pictures.

Rangiku was running down the hall, she was breathing heavy as she rushed to the office as quickly as she could. Reaching Toshiro's office, she slammed the door opened, almost hitting Momo. Toshiro frowned at this. He was sitting at his desk doing paperwork and Momo was bring him some dinner. "Rangiku!? What the hell are you doing? You almost hit Momo!" Rangiku walked up to the desk with a pale face. "I-It's an emergency sir!" Toshiro put his pen down. "What happened?" "There was a call that was sent to the local hospital. A building was seen in flames, it was collapsing. In Hueco Mundo. The rescue unit recovered bodies, three were alive the rest dead." Toshiro got up. "Who were the three?" Rangiku bit her lip. "It was Iba, Ikkaku and Yumichika…" Toshiro narrowed his eyes and walked around the desk. "Let's go. Now! Momo inform Kenpachi and Sajin! You tell them to meet me at the hospital as soon as they can. Also, if it hasn't been done already, spread the words only to the heads and their co appendants." Momo nodded and ran out.

Toshiro and Rangiku headed out. "Where you able to gather anymore information?" "Not much…only that the call was from a blocked number, they described a bald man walking in, and…" "And what?" "They said, Yumichika took most of the blast…I don't know his condition, but it didn't sound to good." Toshiro bit his lip. "Dammit…how could this happen. They were only supposed to be on a stake out!"

At Renji and Rukia's, Rukia was laying down panting beside Renji. "Wow…I don't know what riled you up today but that was amazing." Renji chuckled. "Thanks babe. Ichika asked me if she could have another sibling. Another sister. I told her she'd have to ask you after her nap." Rukia blushed. "She really asked you that?" "Yeah. I think when she sees Bella with Elijah or Grayson with the twin's she feels a little lonely. Plus, I couldn't help but to get excited to see another kid running around here." Rukia sat up. "I see…so…do you want to have another child?" Renji shrugs. "I don't think it would be bad. We are doing a pretty good job with Ichika. I think we can handle one more." Rukia giggled and snuggled up beside him. She felt his arm wrap around her. "Then I'll stop taking the pill. We are getting a bigger house anyways. One more addition shouldn't hurt." Renji smiled down at her. "Agreed."

Rukia smirked and sat up. She crawled up and sat on his lap. She could see lust building up in his eyes and affecting his lower half. "I guess we should get started before Ichika wakes from her nap. Reaching under the blankets she rubbed his half harden member and raised her hips. She positioned herself over his member and moans out as it slips inside her. Renji closed his eyes and put an arm behind his head. Rukia moans out as she started to ride him at a steady pace. "Oh Renji…" His free hand grabbed her hip. "Rukia…" His hand went up to her side. "You're so beautiful…" Rukia's face became flustered as she bounced up and down. The both let out soft moans, careful not be to loud.

Just then, Renji's phone rings. He ignores it and let it go to voice mail. Rukia's phone rings. She also ignored it and let it go to voice mail. Renji's phone rings again and they ignore it as it goes to voice mail again. Renji held Rukia by her waist and started thrusting up, meeting her thrusts. Their pants and moans get more intense, they were reaching their peak until Renji's phone rings again. "Oh, come on!" He yelled. He grabbed the phone while Rukia kept riding. Looking at his phone he saw that Byakuya was calling him. "I-It's your brother…" Renji says holding a moan. Rukia frowned and stopped moving. "Answer it." She says breathing out heavy. Renji picked up. "Hello?" Suddenly his eyes went wide, and he sat up quickly but not before grabbing Rukia and holding her so she wouldn't fall. "What!? Are you sure!? Y-Yes sir of course! I am heading down there now! Yes sir!" Renji hands up. "I have to go Rukia." He says pulling her off him. She frowned. "Why? What happened?" She says pulling the sheets over her lower body. "I don't know all the details but Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Iba were caught in fire or explosion or sneak attack who the hell knows. I've been order to head to the hospital and keep an update on their conditions."

He got up and went around the room and slipped his boxers on. Rukia frowned. "Caught in a fire? I know they were going on a stake out tonight. Did their car blow up?" "I do not know hun. I'll call you when I got more info." He threw on some pants and a shirt. Grabbing his head tie he quickly left the room. Rukia sat on the bed and looked down with a frown. "What were those guys doing…I hope they are okay." She reached over and grabbed her phone to see she had a missed call from Jushiro.

At, Florina's, Hisagi was enjoying his day off. He was sitting on the couch relaxing with good vibes. After Valentine's day, he and Florina nearly did it every day. It had been a while since he felt very relaxed like this. In the kitchen, Florina was cooking until she walked in with his cell. "Hisagi, you have a call from Momo. It's urgent." She handed him the phone and went back into the kitchen.

"Hey Momo. What up." "Hisagi! Why wasn't you at your phone!?" "It was charging in the kitchen. Normally I don't have to worry about people calling me on my day off. So what do you need?" "This is an emergency Hisagi! I need you to contact Oichi and tell her what I am about to tell you!" "Emergency? What happened?"

In the hospital, Uryu was directing traffic when Toshiro and Rangiku walked in. "Uryu. Can we have a report on what happened?" Uryu pushed his glasses up. "Right now, all I can tell you is that Iba will be fine. He escaped with minor burns some scrapes and bruises and a broken arm. Ikkaku has first degree burns. He has a swelling knot on his head so he will be out cold for a while. As for Yumichika…I do not know what happened in the building, but he has third degree burns on his back and torso. It looks like he has shards in his back. I won't know until I operate. He went into shock a few moments ago just before you two walked in." Rangiku placed a hand over her mouth. "Has anyone contacted Ikkaku's wife and daughter?" "I did, they should be on the way here right now. I assure Mizuho that Ikkaku's life wasn't in danger but just like her brother she overreacted and should be breaking a bunch of laws trying to get here." "When will we learn about Yumichika?" Rangiku asked. "I will let you know something as soon as I am finished. Stick around if you want but do not cause a scene in my waiting room please." Uryu says grabbing a clip board and heading off.

Rangiku bit her lip and crossed her arms. "Those idiots…I told them not to do anything rash!" Toshiro sighs and pulls out his phone. "I need to make some phone calls. Stay here and keep me updated." Rangiku nodded and watch him leave. She walked over to the waiting room with racing thoughts in her head. 'You better not up and die on me Yumichika…I will never forgive you if you leave here.'

Back at Jess's, they were all sitting at the dinner table. The twins were in a highchair that Jess had for them. Nova was in Ulquiorra arms getting excited by a bottle Jess had made. Jess giggled as she shook the bottle. "Whenever her auntie is here, she gets excited about her food." Oichi chuckled while Frank started passing out the plates. He had made meatloaf with the side of green beans, white rice, cornbread, and of course he had pudding cups on the side for Oichi.

"Who doesn't get excited by a good meal! Mainly one made by Frank! The cooking King!" Oichi says as she took a bite out of her meatloaf. Frank chuckled. "Thank you for the high praise." Grimmjow frowned at this. 'King she says…' He could feel his eye twitching slightly. "Careful Oichi. You are hitting Grimmjow in the pride." Ulquiorra says. Oichi looked at Grimmjow who was frowning more than usual. "Aw, I'm sorry hunny. You are my king in first place." She pokes his cheek. "I love you my King." She says smiling. Grimmjow huffs out with his slight blush. Jess let out a laugh. "Jealous over Frank's cooking skills? He is one of the best. Take some cooking lessons from him." "Like hell I will…" Grimmjow says. Oichi chucked.

The twins were looking at Frank with widen eyes. He smiled at them. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you two." He grabbed two fruit bowls off the counter. They were cut up into very small pieces so they wouldn't have any issues eating. He handed them to Grimmjow. The girls started to fuss at him, ready to eat. "Okay, Okay don't rush me." Grimmjow says sighing. Jetter chuckled. "Seems like your girls know what they want from their father." Oichi rubbed Naomi's cheeks as Grimmjow fed her. "Yes, they have him wrapped around their cute fingers."

Jess handed Ulquiorra the bottle for Nova. "How long will you be staying uncle?" "Another day or two. I have some things to take care of. It's best if I settle all my debts here." "Debts?" Jess asked. "Now, Oichi…" Jetter says by passing Jess's question. "Why don't you tell me a little more about what's going on around here." Before Oichi could start with anything, her phone rings. "One moment." She says getting up. Her phone was in her purse, in the living room. Reaching it she grabbed her phone to see Hisagi calling her. "I wonder why he could be calling me." She answered. "Hello?" "Oichi…I have some news…" "News? Did something happen?" "Yes, early today, Iba, Yumichika, and Ikkaku were pulled out of a building that had caught flame." Her eyes widen. "What!?" She yelled. In the kitchen, Jess heard her and frowned. "I'll be right back." She looked at Grimmjow who sighs.

She walked into the living to see Oichi pacing. "Oichi?" "Are they okay? What happened!?" "I don't know all the details all I know is that they are at the hospital." "Then I'll…!" "Stay home." Oichi frowned. "You seriously can't expect me to stay home! I'm going!" "You think I'll let you go while you're pregnant. Listen to me, I will keep you updated, I promise." Oichi bit her lip and rubbed her face. "Can you at least tell me their status?" "I will as soon as I get there." Oichi lets out a deep and long sigh. "Okay…thank you for letting me know and please call me back when you hear anything…" "I will." He hangs up. Oichi stands there with an upset look on her face. Jess walks up to her. "Oichi? What's wrong." "Iba, Yumichika, and Ikkaku were pulled out a building that was on fire. They are in the hospital." Jess gasps. "Are they okay?" "I don't know…and Hisagi doesn't want me there…I should go. They are my friends to!"

"No." Jess and Oichi turned around to see Grimmjow walking in. "Ikkaku works for Kenpachi right." Oichi nods. "Then there is no way in hell I'll let you be around him. I have seen how pissed he can get when one of members get injured in a bad way. Sure, he is a hard ass but, he does care about 5% of them. You should not be there when he gets all riled up about his guys landing in the hospital. Even I do not want to get on his bad side. So, you are staying here." Oichi frowned. "…okay…" She looked down sadly. Jess rubbed her back. "Those knuckleheads are strong. They will pull through. Let's go back and eat we will go to the hospital together to check on them." Oichi nodded and Jess led her back into the kitchen with Grimmjow.

Her phone suddenly rings again. She saw that Unohana was calling her. "I wonder what Ms. Unohana could want…" She picks up. "Hello." "Hello, Oichi dear. Do you have a moment to talk?" "Sure…" "I'm sure you already know about what is happening with Ikkaku and the others, but I am calling to speak about Kendric." "Is he doing okay?" "Yes, he is fine. Your brother gave the file on Tory and I have gone through everything. Tomorrow, I will have her picked up and place in a holding cell. I plan to question her myself. I can assure you that there will be trial." "Okay, Is there anything I can do?" "Yes, actually. I would like for you to appear at her fist hearing so that Kendric and be placed under your custody until the trail is over. Once the courts decided on what to do there is a high chance that you can keep Kendric in your custody or even adopt him. It will be up to you." Oichi smiled. "Really? That is wonderful to hear! Thank you so much!" "Of course, dear. Also, one more thing. It says in the files that Kendric has siblings?" "Yes, I think four more." "If possible, I would like to speak to them as well." "Um…I will see what I can do." "Thank you Oichi. I will speak to you later when I give you the date of the hearing." "No, thank you Ms. Unohana. If only there was a way to help more children out of a bad spot. Thank you so much for your help and support."

They hung up at the same time. Jess peaks over her shoulder. "Good news this time?" Oichi nods. "Thanks to those files Tory will be taken in and Kenny will be with me hopefully during the trail." Jess smiled and hugged her. "That's good. I'm happy for you sis!" Oichi giggled. "Let's eat."

Walking back in the kitchen, Jetter had took it upon himself to move Naomi over to him. He was scooping up the fruit and feeding her. She giggled as she ate. Grimmjow of course wasn't to happy but he still had to fed Alisha. "Why is Naomi next to you…" Oichi says trying not to frown. "I couldn't help myself dear. Grimmjow looked like he was having a time feeding them both so I didn't mind helping. She seems to like me." Oichi shook her head. "She only likes you now because you have food." She took her seat next to Grimmjow, Jess sat in front of her. "Hey Grim? Do you think you can contact Ben?" "Why…" "Ms. Unohana wants to speak to them about Tory. It will help with her case." "…Sure…I think I know where he is." "Great, give him my number to so we can stay in contact. I'd love to meet the rest of his siblings and they should get the chance to spend some time with Ken." "Ugh…fine but if he calls you at the wrong time, I'm breaking your phone and breaking his legs." Naomi slammed her hands on the highchair. "YES!" She yelled out. Grimmjow chuckled. "That's right princess, daddy will beat up any man who looks at your mom the wrong way." Oichi chuckles. "Let us not feed her tendency's please. Now I believe you asked me something Jetter?" "I did but let's back up. Unohana is still working?"

"Yeah…" Oichi says. Jetter rubbed his chin. "She was quite a beauty back then. How is she? Married with children with Jushiro yet." Oichi raises her eyebrow. "I wasn't aware that she and Mr. Jushiro had any feelings for each other. They kept it professional whenever I see then." Jetter chuckled. "Confession time, I came here when I was younger. It was a much, much better time before any of this. Hence why I know a few people around here. Dawn met Danni they became best friends, my mother enjoyed the company with Madam Faye and Ronnie though he was a hard ass." Oichi chuckled. "That is true. Grandpa always told me that he wished he could just punch you in your rich boy face. He said he was glad his daughters weren't attracted to snobby guys like you."

Jetter frowned. "Snobby!?" Grimmjow and Jess laughed. "I didn't think Ronnie would say that." Jess says whipping a tear out of her eye. "Grandpa was ruthless with his words." Oichi says laughing with them. Jetter pouted slightly as he ate some of his food and then fed Naomi. "As I was saying…Unohana and Jushiro were a, item back then. I saw kids and marriage in their future, but I guess not huh." "No kids that I know of. Plus Mr. Jushiro is focusing on his health right now." Jetter hums out. "Yes, I did hear that he came down with a sudden illness. I should pay him a visit. Ah, yes, Oichi dear, you were telling me how everything has been. Why don't you share with me how you and Grimmjow meet and the events that led up to it?" Oichi blushed. "Why would I share that with you?" "Practice." "Practice? Meaning?" "Well when your children get older, they are going to ask how their parents meet so many times. Why not get some practice on it now. Don't worry, I was going to ask Jess the same thing." Jess frowned. "Seriously? I would like for my love life to stay out of a file uncle." "Of course, I just want to spend time with you and Oichi. So who is first?" Both Jess and Oichi sigh out in irritation.

The next morning, Ikkaku was laying in the private wing of the hospital. His head was wrapped along with his arms and one of his legs. He groans as he opens his eyes. He could hear sniffing. He also felt someone right beside him. He turned his head slightly to see Emma with dried tear marks on her cheeks. "…E-Emma…what are you…" He rubs her head gently. "Darling!?" Ikkaku looked to see Mizuho rushing to his side. She had died tears marks but they were replaced with new tears that were running down her cheeks. "Oh my sweet darling! Your okay!" She started to cry. "Hey, stop crying. You know I hate that." "Daddy?" He felt Emma sit up and rub her eyes. "Daddy!" Emma yells in tears as well. She crawls on the bed and lays her head on his shoulder crying. Ikkaku rubs her back. "I'm okay Emma, don't cry. You to Mizuho." He reached up and cupped her face. "Quit it with the tears." Mizuho sniffed and grabbed his hand. "I need to go get Uryu." She dabs her face with a tissue and leaves the room.

Moments later, she comes back with Uryu and Iba came in following. His arm was in a sling with a few bandages on his face. "Well look who is finally up." Ikkaku frowned at him. "Shut up. What happened and where is Yumichika?" Uryu grabbed the chart from the edge of the bed. "You were caught in a burning building. You suffered some burns on your arms and leg. You also were knocked out due to the blast." "Blast…" Ikkaku's eyes widen. "Blast…that's right!?" He sat up holding Emma. He ignored the pain in his body. "Yumichika! That dumbass! Where is he! That bastard! How dare he try to sacrifice his life for mine!" Uryu pushed his glasses up. "You need to calm down. Your body needs to rest." "Where is he!" Ikkaku yelled.

"Enough." Ikkaku went silent as Toshiro and Kenpachi walked in. "Kenpachi Sir…" Ikkaku says sitting up fully. "Quit your babying Ikkaku. Yumichika is alive but he is the least of your concern. You have some explaining to do." Ikkaku frowned and pulled Emma off of him. "No Daddy!" She tears up more. "I'll be with you in a second Emma. Go wait outside with you mom…" Emma frowned. "…Okay…" Uryu took her off the bed and led her outside, closing the door behind him.

Toshiro crossed his arms. "What the hell happened out there?" Iba sat down. "I apologize sir…" "I don't want to hear any of that crap coming out of your mouth. You are Sajin's issue to deal with not mine." Kenpachi says. "I want answers and I to know who I need to kill for laying hands on my guys. You are lucky I don't kill you to while I am at it. Now talk." Ikkaku sighs. "…Me and Yumichika were doing the stake out like we were forc…uh…I mean asked…Tetsuzaemon came with the coffee and we sat there and waited for something to happened. In which it did. Two black cars pulled up. You should be able to get the pictures from Yumichika's camera in the car. A few guys got out carrying two suitcases. Then Tosen got out. We snapped more pictures and that would have been it, but he pulled out a child." Toshiro narrowed his eyes. "A child…" Ikkaku nodded. "It didn't look like he was with them since they handled him so roughly. We then assume this wasn't just a simple stake out anymore. I know it was against normal orders, but we couldn't let them do whatever they wanted to that kid. I assume chicken feet over here was going to tuck tail and run. Even call for back up. I didn't expect him to come with us. Anyways, we followed them in and cornered them but the kid nor Tosen was there. Those goons were and in the suitcases were bombs." Ikkaku griped the sheets. "That was when we were pulled back by Yumichika…he did say he had some bad feeling about it. He pulled us back and took most of the blast himself. I heard another explosion go off, but everything went dark after that."

Toshiro rubbed his chin. "You said the child and Tosen was no where to be seen?" "Yes sir. They were gone but I swear we all saw them walk in the building." Kenpachi growled lowly. "You idiot. You didn't think that was a trap to set you up?" "I did consider it was a trap, but we couldn't let them do whatever they wanted to that kid." Toshiro closed his eyes. "I see…Yumichika had to go into surgery. He had burns on his back and torso along with scrap metal plunged into his back. He went into shock when we got here yesterday but Uryu was able to fix him up. He will be getting transported to the center and place under strict supervision within Unohana's division." Ikkaku looked relived at the news that his friend was alive. "For now, we are placing you and Yumichika on leave to get healed up." "What!? No! I need to find that kid! If he gets mixed up in Aizen's crap, then…" "We don't have time for your lip service. You are going on the break. Unless you want to be punished. I can have you stripped of your position for placing members of the division in danger with your brashness." Kenpachi says walking up to the bed. "You should be grateful that I don't care for politics. In my book you reacted and maybe saved a life but to others you risked their life for a trap. That kid could have been working for Aizen for all you know. Now we have to go and clean up this mess…so take the damn leave." Ikkaku looks down and nods. "Good. Now with that done, I'm heading out." Toshiro nodded. "I'll handle the reporting." "Kenpachi chuckled and walked out.

Once out the door he saw Emma waiting. She was frowning and glaring at him. "Y-You better had not fire my daddy!" She yelled, pointing her finger. "Oh? A spit fire as ever." Kenpachi says with a grin. "Your dad is fine. He just needs a break. Make sure you take care of him back home." He let out a laugh, walking down the hall. Emma pouted at him. Mizuho shakes her head. "Honey what have I told you about talking to him that way. That's your daddy's boss." Emma crossed her arms. "He is mean mommy! A big fat meanie head!" Uryu chuckled. "You are your father's daughter."

Oichi's, she was in the room sitting down looking at TV, on low, Grimmjow placed in the room. She had a tray of food in front of her eating some finger sandwiches Grimmjow had made her. The twins were taking a nap on the bed beside her and next to them was Damien and Pantera who were watching them. She was watching a cop show she had discovered a few days ago. Even since she called Frank the king of cooking last night, Grimmjow had been deep into cooking books that morning. She giggled. "Such a silly man." Today he made her a regular looking sandwich it had lettuce, ham, pickles and something spicy. Normally when she didn't like spicy food but as she learned from carrying the twins her love for spicy food could rival the devil himself. She pops one in her mouth and hums out. "So yummy."

Damien's head popped up and wagged his tail. That meant someone was coming up the stairs. 'Must be Grimmjow bringing me food. He is so cute when he is jealous.' Grimmjow walked through the door carrying a plate. A spicy smell hit her nose. "That smells super good." She rubs her belly. "Don't you think so heehee." Grimmjow smirked and then frowned. "You got a visitor…"

He walked to the bed and removed her empty plate off her tray. He put down a plate of BBQ beef burgers. The smell almost made Oichi's mouth water. "Oh my…" "I made these with a special sauce but its only for when your pregnant." Oichi grabbed one and bit into it. Her eyes lit up. "Oh my Grim…this is freaking amazing!" She covered her mouth quickly and looked at the twins who were fast asleep. "Oh good…I don't want to wake them up and feel bad about not letting them have this." Grimmjow chuckled. "I'll get you something to drink. By then the brat should be leaving…" "Brat?"

Grimmjow got up and Oichi saw Ben and another young man at the door. "Ben. Hi, so nice to see you again." Ben smiles gently. "Hey there Oichi, Grim said you wanted to talk to me?" Oichi nodded. "Who is behind you?" "Ah yes…" Ben says walking in, past Grimmjow who left to get something to drink. "This is my brother Lexton." Oichi smiled. "Hello Lexton. It's nice to meet you. Can I call you Lex?" "…I would prefer you not to, but because you helped with our brother, I will allow it." Ben frowned at him. "Don't be rude…she's not a server to follow your commands and please don't let Grim hear you speak to her like that. Remember the last time you pissed him off?" Lexton pushed his glasses up. "Yes, I do." "So did you need something?" Oichi nodded and grabbed a card off the desk. "It's about your mother. One of my division leaders wanted to speak to you and your siblings about her. She wants to leave no stone unturned." She held up the card.

"This is a temporary bypass card for you to get into the center. You showed this to the guards, and they will send you to division 4 where Ms. Unohana is. All she wants to do is to ask you questions. Please answer them truthfully. The more things we can rack up against Tory the quicker we can get her away from Kendric and have her thrown in jail." Ben took the card and looked at the twins. "Are these your babies?" Oichi nods. "Yup, my cute little twins. Naomi and Alisha." "Fascinating…that a man like Grimmjow would even consider settling down. A man like him shouldn't have even been thinking about having a family." Oichi frowned at this. "Lexton…come on man…"

"It's okay. I've been told worse actually. Grimmjow has been called…a lot of things. Bad things. Things I cannot defend but, he has not done anything to harm me or his children. He loves me, our girls, Grayson, and our new addition. You might see him as some kind of murdering monster but I see him as a loving man, a wonderful father and a better man." Lexton sighs. "If you say so…I thank you for helping us with our brother but I can't help but to question your taste in men." Ben rubs his face. "Lex…" Oichi looks down with a frown. She reached over and grabbed four sets of ear plugs and put them into the twins ears. "It's makes me sad to hear someone who shares Ben and Kendric's blood. I guess not all of you have a nice…so…I'll just punish you if that's okay?"

Ben eyes widen slightly. "Ben you might want to move away." Oichi says as Damien's head pops up and he wags his tail. Ben moved away. Lexton raised an eyebrow and gave out a dry laugh. "You. Punish me? If that was a joke I'd pay to see you do shows." Oichi looked up with a hurt expression, tears started to roll down her cheeks. Lexton frowned. "Wha…Why are you…" Grimmjow walked through the door right as she started to cry out.

Grimmjow's eyes widen and he rushed to her side putting the cup of juice down. "Babe what's wrong? Is it the baby?" Oichi cried out more and then pointed to Lexton. Next then Lexton knew he was being punched in the face. His back collided to the wall. Damien sat up and started barking while Pantera sat their and watch. Lexton held his jaw and looked up to an angry Grimmjow. He was picked up by the collar of his shirt and slammed against the wall. "You must have a fucking death wish! What did you say to her!?" "I…just told her the truth…that your not fit for a life like this…" Ben sighs. 'Brother…you idiot…'

Grimmjow was seeing red at that point and dragged Lexton out. He slammed the door closed behind him. They could here rumbling going down the stairs. Once everything went silent, Oichi sniffed and grabbed a tissue. She starts to dab her eyes. Ben was a bit shocked. "Wow…I mean…wow…" Oichi chuckled a bit. "I feel bad for using him like that, but I was hurt by your brothers comments. I could have simply told Grimmjow to beat him up but that would be to easy on your brother. I gave him more…medium like punishment." "Medium?" "Oh yeah, just think if the girls were crying to. I don't think Lexton would be walking tomorrow."

Ben rubs his head. "I'm amazed. I never seen him care about someone other then his job and himself. He prided around the company thinking he was the King of everything…now to see him in this environment. It's mind blowing." Oichi smiled. "It is, that's why I believe you did not waste your father's chance. You can still do something to make him proud you know. I just want to let you know that I am rooting for you." Ben chuckled. "You only met me a days ago…how can you have so much faith in me?" Oichi laughed. "Well, it's a mother's duty to have faith in her children. I know I'm not your mother but since life gave you a horrible one, I'll do it in her stead haha!" She flashed a bright smile at him. Ben felt the same feeling in his chest again. It was warm and filling.

The door opened and Grimmjow walked back in with a scowl. He glared at Ben. "Honey, Ben helped calmed me down." Oichi says cleaning her face. "He apologized for his brother. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get upset." Grimmjow scowl disappeared and he gave Oichi a gentle look. "No, you have every right to get upset. That bastard likes to say things to rile people up." He walked over and rubbed her cheeks. "Finish up eating and take a nap before the girls wake up and jump on you." Oichi nodded. Grimmjow looked at Ben. "Out. Now. You had better do everything she has told you to do." Ben chuckles. "Of course, Grim. I don't think that would be smart again." He smirked at Oichi. "See you around mom." Grimmjow's eyes widen. "WHAT!?" Ben laughed as he chased after Ben. Oichi chuckled and took the ear plugs out the twin's ears. "Looks like our family is growing faster then we could have imagined.

At the center, Tory was sitting in a room. She was hand cuffed. In front of her was Unohana. She had a file sitting in front of her. "Good morning. I hope your ride here was easy." Tory was silent. Unohana opened the file. "I'm sure you know why you are here. You are facing charges of child abuse and neglect. Originally, you were going to be charged with a gross misdemeanor with a maximum possible sentence is one year of imprisonment and up to a 3000 fine. However, once I saw these files it seems like you are no stranger to abuse. In fact, your oldest son and oldest daughter went through it to." She went through some pictures. "I have their medical files from years ago of you taking them to get treated for 'falls' or 'accidents' I'm sure your connections at the time you either paid someone to stay silent, or had them brush off the incidents. None the less, I will be charging you with a felony." Tory's eyes widen. "What!? I never touch those brats!" "Then explain your son's condition right now. Are you telling me you had nothing to do with that?" Tory bite her lip. "Your chances aren't looking good here Tory and with your former husband here to bail you out, you are on a sinking ship." She closes the folder. "It is disturbing what you put that child through but, do not worry, he will be with a wonderful family that will shower him with love and show him he does matter." Tory glared at her. "You will not give my son to that bitch! I won't allow it!" Unohana laughs. "As if you have that choice now. Guards you may take her away. Your hearing will be on the 28th" She walked out the room. Two guards walked in and grabbed Tory by her arms. "Unhanded me! Let me go! That woman will NOT have my son! HE IS MY SON! MINE! I WILL MAKE HER PAY FOR THIS! YOU ALL WILL PAY!" She yelled.

At a small tea shop, Jetter was sitting at a table by himself drinking some rural tea. He looked at his watch. He sighs and looked at the small menu. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a car pull up. The door opened and it stayed opened for a bit. Jetter ignored it and went back to looking at the menu. A few minutes later, the door opened and Lexton walked in with a patched up jaw, a mediocre head bandage, and his shirt was torn a bit. He had files in his hands. Walking to the table Jetter and took a seat. Jetter raised his eyebrow. "You know, when someone comes to a meeting, they would have dress somewhat…better…and you head…"

Lexton sighs. He had no glasses on since Grimmjow broke them. "I had to stop by and see the Yamamoto woman and Grim." Jetter chuckled. "You must have upset Oichi somehow then." "Something like that. She just started crying and Grim went ape on me like the beast he is." Lexton put the files on the table. "I don't have a lot of time. I have to go to the center and answer some questions about my mother and younger brother. As we agreed, I give you the files you need and you help fund me with my companies." Jetter took the files. "Yes, I agree to that." He snaps his fingers and Frank walks up with a man in tow. "I will help with your funding, but we do have to go over a few things about our agreement. I have other things to take care of back home so I will leave a represent my spot for now. Come introduce yourself to the boy."

The young man walked out in front of Frank and took a seat at the table. He had black eyes and black wavy hair that was shoulder length. He was wearing a fresh suit and had a book in his hand. "Hello there, young son of Barragan. My name is Shukuro Tsukishima. I look forward to working with you." Lexton nods. "As do I." Jetter looked down at the file and smirk came to his face as he read one of the names to himself. 'Luppi Antenor, I think its time to bring this cat and mouse game to a close.'
