AN: I know Ichigo and Orihime had a son, but I had this story with one other thought before that was revealed and made official. I am in the progress of thinking of using Kazui and our precious little princess in this story for another one and having Kazui on his own adventure, but I don't know when that will happen. This will also reveal why she didn't know about soul reapers in her story. One more thing to keep in mind is that this as well as some of my other Bleach stories follow along the anime, not the manga.

The Soul Society has been at peace with those in Hueco Mundo, the World of the Living, and their own world. However, all that is about to change. Down in a prison like building, two soul reapers were keeping guard of a certain prisoner and they stayed firm.

"Did you sense something?"

"No." It was dark so they couldn't see a thing. That was bad as a mysterious cloaked figure appeared behind them and killed the both of them before they even knew what was happening. The cloaked person opened the door and stepped inside. She went inside and was faced with someone that was a special restriction trail.

"Lord Aizen, I have come to set you free." Aizen, one of the most dangerous enemies of the Soul Society and former captain from the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.

"I am most impressed that you were able to come here all on your own…Loly." The cloaked figured showed her face and it revealed to be Loly, one of his arrrancar minions. "I've greatly underestimated your abilities."

"I've been training for the all these years, ever since we lost the war against the soul reapers." Loly said. "I've done it all for you. This cloak helped keep my spiritual pressure hidden and I've studied the layout to get the keys. Szayelaporro made a useful device and you still had prints of the layouts."

"I would love to hear more about this, but you might want to get me out of this. It won't be long until you are found out." Aizen said and he was right because she began to hear sirens go off.

"Don't worry Lord Aizen, I'll have you free." Loly said.

"Excellent. I shall vengeance on those who put me in here." Aizen said. "Ichigo Kurosaki is going to regret not finishing me off when he should have."

Karakura Town

It has been around six to seven years since Ichigo's powers of a soul reaper have returned and he defeated X-cution. A lot has changed since that happened. Ichigo has gotten his own house and he already got married to Orihime.

"Orihime, sit down. You need to take it easy." Ichigo said.

"I'm perfectly fine." Orihime said as she was cleaning around the house. The problem Ichigo was having is that Orihime is nine months pregnant and was due in any day now. Ichigo stepped up to her and snatch the duster from her hands and guide her to the couch.

"I know you keep saying your fine, but you really should take it easy. We have to be ready for when our baby comes." Ichigo said.

"I know you're concerned, but I'm handling myself perfectly fine." Orihime said, but Ichigo knew that she was lying.

"You're feet are killing you, aren't they?" Ichigo said.

"I can't see them, but the pain is still there." Orihime cried. Ichigo hid a small chuckle and they heard a knock on the door.

"Be right there." Ichigo said as he walked over to the door. He opened up, but he saw someone that he hasn't seen in a long time.

"Hey, stranger."

"Rukia?!" Ichigo said and Rukia let herself in. Orihime heard him and saw Rukia come in.

"Rukia!" Orihime cheered. Rukia went over and embraced her.

"It's so good to see you again and apparently a lot has happened." Rukia gestured to her extended stomach. "How many sweets are you having?" She joked.

"What's with the surprise visit? We haven't seen you in almost a year. Renji has barely seen you from the last time I saw him." Ichigo said.

"I'm sorry, but I had some….personal matters to take care of." Rukia said. "However, most of it has been solved and I'm doing everything I can to get things back in order with a little help from Byakuya."

"What do you mean? Is everything okay?" Orihime said. That put a discomforting look on her face. "The reason I came here wasn't just for a reunion. I have troubling news to tell the both of you. It's Aizen. He's escaped." That struck fear into the both of them.

"No way. Are you serious? Has Aizen really escaped?" Ichigo said.

"Yes and he has one thing on his mind. Revenge on you." Rukia said.

"How did this even happen?" Orihime said.

"It happened just a few nights ago." Rukia said. "Somehow, one of his minions snuck into his prison and was able to gather the keys that unlocked his restrictions on his body and his power. Knowing how intellectual and dangerous Aizen is, he probably has already gathered forces to assist him in whatever devious plan he's got."

"But didn't Aizen lose some of his power after I defeated him?" Ichigo said. "Kisuke said that the Hogyoku no longer recognized him as his master."

"That is true, but during his imprisonment, he did speak about it." Rukia said. "He might have found a way to restore the power he once had."

"Can he really do that?" Orihime said.

"I'm not sure, but this is Aizen we're talking about." Rukia said. "He probably had preparations made long before his capture and have been waiting for the day that he returns. Ichigo, as you can probably already guess, you might be the only one who can stop him. While it's true that Aizen has lost some of the power he once had, he's still very powerful. What's more is that when your powers returned, you had the power of all captains and lieutenants with many more. Aizen must be aware of that, but it's the only chance we've got. You might even hold the power to finish him once and for all even if he is immortal."

"This is the worst possible time. My child is suppose to come any day now." Ichigo said. "I can't be dealing with Aizen, but I do understand the situation. Aizen has to be stopped and since I hold more power than I did before, I'll stop him."

….

Aizen

Aizen has regained his throne in Las Noches in Hueco Mundo. Even though he's been sitting on a chair for years, he still had the freedom to move in one. Having the light of Hueco Mundo's moon with the light of Las Noches canopy felt great to bask in again.

"Lord Aizen, everything is just how you said it was." Loly said as she was down on one knee. "All the new arrancar have trained for all these years for your return and your new set of Espada are awaiting your orders." She was right as ten shadows stood behind her.

"Thank you, Loly. I've been able to follow the rumors because of those incomputable guards would not stop talking." Aizen said. "If everything I heard from them is true, this will work out better than I thought. I need someone to give a message to Ichigo Kurosaki."

Karakura Town

Chad hasn't changed all that much since Ichigo's final battle except that he recently had a daughter. He was near the park and was doing some jogging. He was completely unaware of what was happening. A garganta started to open up in the sky and something crashed down into the park and that gained the attention of a lot of people.

"What was that?" Chad said as he went to investigate. People gathered around a crater, but saw nothing because they couldn't see the arrancar that was there. This arrancar was male with blonde hair that reached his shoulders and his mask was a Y shape on his face and nose with a set of horns.

"It's much easier when they gather." He said. He took in a deep breath and that extracted the life out of all the people and swallowed them all. He stepped out of the crater, but when he did, he came face to face with Chad. Aizen and his forces have returned and the first battle of a possible war is about to take place.
