Ichigo gently put his lips on Rukia's chest and kissed her sweetly. He gave her sweet kisses all the way down to her navel and started to caress her sweetly. He fondled her breasts while he caressed her with his tongue.

"Oh, Ichigo…."

"Mm…"

Rukia was in sheer bliss knowing that Ichigo cared so much for her and now they were taking the relationship to the next level. Rukia and Ichigo had been nervous at first but they soon got over it as they kissed each other longingly and passionately. Ichigo had wanted her to be his since he had realized that he was truly in love with her. This is how Rukia wanted it to be when she fantasized about Shiba Kaien in the days of old. She dreamt that she would marry a man such as him and one day they would have children.

Rukia definitely noticed Ichigo's similar personality when she had saved him and his family by giving him her powers. She never regret giving up her powers to Ichigo because she knew in her heart that he was truly strong and would not back down at any cost. Being with Ichigo like this meant that their love was to last an eternity. Rukia had only one wish: That he would be with her forever.

Then Ichigo had slipped inside of Rukia and she was gasping at how much of it there was. It only hurt for a moment though because the way that Ichigo had moved was calm and soothed her so that she was in heaven. They made love for the next few hours. Rukia had wondered where the time went because she was so distracted she didn't notice the hours flying by. Ichigo had came all over the bed and they both held each other for what seemed an eternity.

Ichigo got up to the shower and Rukia laid in the bed contemplating to herself.

"Oh, Ichigo," she thought to herself, "I love you so much."

Ichigo contemplated while in the shower room.

"Rukia," he thought, "stay with me forever like this, forever in my arms."

Ichigo had a weird feeling that something would take Rukia away from him, but he vowed never to let her out of his sight again. For the rest of the night, they laid together, and slept all through the night. In the morning Ichigo had taken Rukia to see her out of the front door. She had to visit Urahara's shop for some supplies.

"Hurry back now," Ichigo said, "don't keep me waiting here forever."

"I'll be back, just you wait and see," she said with a smile.

Ichigo watched her go and wanted to make sure she would get there safely, but he knew she wouldn't like it if he followed her so he watched her go and made the decision to wait until she comes back.

But, eight months had passed and Ichigo didn't see a sign of her. Not a trace, she left innocently and so suddenly, all Ichigo could do was blame himself. He had tried to call her cell phone, but no answer and not to mention all of the voicemails that he left on her phone. He was extremely worried and had asked everyone he knew about her. No leads to go off of, Ichigo just sat and waited, for her to return home.

The day came when the soul reapers came from the Soul Society and attended Ichigo's school in gigai form. He noticed none of them would talk to him and soon he found out why. Rangiku Matsumoto happened to be in class with Ichigo and when it came time to eat lunch, she pulled him into a space where no one would be able to hear them talking.

"Ichigo," she said in a hushed voice, " you haven't seen Rukia, have you?"

"No! Do you know where I can find her?" Ichigo was frantic.

"Yes," said Matsumoto.

"Where?!" Ichigo cried.

"Ichigo, that's what I came here to tell you."

"What happened to her?" Ichigo was close to tears.

"She's pregnant."

The bomb dropped hard. Ichigo was stunned and couldn't say a word. Though he would usually have something to say, he was speechless for a change.

"Are you serious?" Ichigo was in denial, "soul reapers can't get pregnant! You're joking around, right? Come on Matsumoto, you know that's not funny."

"It's true, Ichigo. What I tell you is true. She was too embarrassed to tell you and she didn't want to be a burden on you, Ichigo. Soul reapers can reproduce believe it or not." Rangiku had the look of a grown woman and Ichigo could tell that it must be true.

"You should go see her Ichigo and calm her down. After all, she says its your child. She's do at anytime."

"Oh, man," Ichigo was in shock. "What am I going to say to her? I haven't seen her in almost a year because I knocked her up. What if she hates me?" Ichigo thought. "All right, I'll go see her. Where is she?

"At Urahara's shop. She's got her own little room where she has been staying the entire time," Matsumoto said, "good luck, Ichigo."
