I am a What?

About three hours after the abduction

Ichigo woke in a room of white.

He was in Los Noches, it was the only place he knew of that was devoid of color.

He gasped as he felt an intense pain upon waking. It felt like his soul had been split in half.

It has been king, Hichigo said softly. Grimmjow is our mate and we are separated from him.

Just breathe the pain will dull in a few moments, Hichigo said.

He knew the distance would cause both of them pain for a few hours but they could handle pain it was the other symptoms he was about. Hopefully they were reunited with their mate before those symptoms started to happen.

Ichigo soon found hichigo was right it did dull. The pain didn't go away but went to a very manageable level.

Then remembered something important.

RIKI, he had been holding Riki.

He instantly scrambled off the bed to go looking for his son.

He knew Kouki was still in soul society, call it mother's intuition.

Then he heard Riki giggling in a room that was joined to the one he was in.

He rushed into the other room.

What he saw absolutely baffled him and gave him a strong urge to laugh.

Ulquiorra was sitting on the floor playing patty cake with his son and two other little girls.

One girl had brown hair, brown fox ears and a tail, and chocolate eyes, she waddled over to Gin, who picked her up.

The other girl had silver hair, silver fox ears and a tail, and sky blue eyes, she hid behind Ulquiorra.

"Yer awake", Gin said from his place on his bed.

"See I told ya yer mama was ok", Gin said to Riki in a soft voice.

"Mama", Riki squealed before getting up waddling over to Ichigo.

"Riki I'm so glad you're ok", Ichigo said as he fussed over his child before kissing him on the forehead.

Riki kissed his mother's cheek before looking at his new friends.

It had taken Gin a few hours to calm Riki who had been traumatized after watching what Aizen did to Grimmjow.

Once the girls had woken up from their naps, Riki had cheered up quickly

Ichigo smiled down at the girls.

There was no need to upset the children, be it his child or Gin's.

He would have to have a conversation with Gin later though.

"Did you tell them your name?", Ichigo asked and Riki shook his head.

"Ree kee", Riki said with a smile.

"That's very good", Gin praised and Ichigo chuckled.

"What ya laughin about?", Gin asked.

"I never thought you would be such a good mother",Ichigo replied as watched Riki waddle over to the little girl hiding behind Ulquiorra.

"Well thank ya", Gin replied in a flat tone.

He didn't think he was a very good mother. He hadn't been able to protect his children from their father's coldness.

They thought their father didn't like them and it was their fault. They were very intelligent for their age; they took after their father in that aspect.

Ichigo raised an eyebrow at Gin's tone but said nothing.

"Will ya tell them yer names?" Gin asked his little girl's.

"Tomoe", the little girl in Gin's lap said.

"That's a pretty name", Ichigo said with a smile.

"Masumi", the little girl behind Ulquiorra said softly.

"You have a lovely name as well", Ichigo said.

He was surprised that both children spoke so clearly.

Riki gently pulled Masumi from behind Ulquiorra.

He started babbling, most of which could only be understood by Ichigo, about ears and tails.

"Yes I see, I see", Ichigo said as Masumi went and sat in Ulquiorra's lap.

Ulquiorra soothingly stroked her hair, she wasn't used to strangers.

Ichigo still couldn't believe the expressionless man was good with kids.

Suddenly Ichigo heard an infant cry.

Gin gently set Tomoe on the ground and walk over to a crib in the corner of the room.

Ichigo had been so occupied with his son and the girls, that he hadn't even noticed the crib.

"It's alright", Gin cooed to the baby as he lifted her out of the crib.

The baby had silver hair, ears, and a tail but hers eyes were brown.

The crying stopped as soon as she was picked up.

"Wha ha", Riki asked. He had issues with t's.

"That's a baby", Ichigo said.

"Bay be", Riki said before clapping, both Ichigo and Gin laughed.

"See", Riki said putting his hands up.

Ichgio picked him up so he could see the baby.

Riki reached out to gently touch the baby and she grabbed his finger.

He looked at her quizzically before giggling. "Bay be"

Ichigo smiled before he set his son down.

"What's her name", Ichigo asked.

"Yukiko", Gin said with his eyes open.

Ichigo finally realized Gin hadn't kept his eyes closed like he normally did.

Gin's children preferred to see him eyes.

Ichigo saw pain and loneliness in Gin's red eyes.

"She has a wonderful name", Ichigo said.

"Thank ya", Gin said as love for his children shined in his eyes.

A few hours later

"Do you know why my son and I are here?", ichigo asked softly as he sat on the couch next to Gin.

He had a feeling Gin wasn't the heartless man everyone thought.

"Aizen wants an heir", Gin said dryly.

Ichigo frowned but knew what Gin meant.

Aizen wanted a boy and he was willing to steal someone elses.

It made him sick that Aizen would not acknowledge his own daughters.

Gin looked at Ichigo with his eyes closed and his smile faltered.

"He never could forgive me for our stillborn son, Kira", Gin said softly.

Ichigo was surprised at Gin's confession.

Gin seemed liked someone who had trust issues maybe he confessed because he knew Ichigo would understand.

"I'm sorry but you shouldn't blame yourself, Aizen is a self-centered asshole anyway and he should rot in hell",Ichigo said caused Gin to grin.

"I think Grimmjow is rubbing off on ya", Gin said.

"Will you make sure that Soul Society won't kill my children?" Gin asked suddenly.

"If you change sides they would probably let you live", Ichigo said with frown.

"Their gonna execute me. I ain't gonna survive", Gin said with fake smile

"Don't be so sure but I promise I will protect your children as I protect my own", Ichigo said.

Ichigo would do his best to make sure both Gin and his children survived.

He already had suspicions about Aizen and Gin's relationship just from looking in Gin's eyes.

Ichigo looked behind him at his son who was cuddled together with Tomoe and Masumi on the bed and smile.

At least one good thing had come from being abducted.

His children wouldn't be alone anymore and neither would Gin's.
