Lets start over Sometimes I wish I was smart I wish I made cures for How people are I wish I had power I wish I could lead I wish I could change the world For you and meA week and a half later, by 6:30 in the morning Masaki was out of the hospital, all packed up and ready to go to rehab. Ichigo was okay, the dotoxation had been their greatest concern; not knowing if his frail body would handle the withdrawals. It did though, and though he’d had several intense muscle spasms he was deemed completely alright to go home with the Kuchiki’s. She stayed long enough to load the car with things for Ichigo, get him from the hospital, and see his meeting with Byakuya. Byakuya Kuchiki was a two year old with milky white skin that seemed paler then it was against his dark hair and eyes. He was incredibly shy, greeting Isshin and her with small smiles and peeking around his grandfather at Ichigo.
Masaki had been too scared to touch him since the incident, so before her departure she asked Byakuya to come over. She kissed his cheek and asked him to give that to her baby for her. He blushes but happily did it, not questioning the teary eyed woman and gave the squirming baby in his grandfather’s arms a big sloppy wet kiss on the cheek, to which Ichigo laughed at. It was one of those screaming loud laughs. Byakuya grinned widely and said proudly, "That was from your momma! She's that one, right there!" pointing her out as she smiled with a tear rolling down her cheek. Ginrei put Ichigo in his car seat and set it on the grass to he could properly say his goodbyes to Masaki and Isshin while Byakuya spoke enthusiastically to Ichigo. As Masaki sniffled out a sob and waved goodbye to Byakuya, he told Ichigo, "Goodbye ma'am! Say bye-bye Ichi-berry!" Masaki cried and got into the car. Isshin kissed Ginrei on the cheek goodbye and said he would be over for dinner at eight before driving off to the Rehabilitation Center four and a half hours away. After watching them off Ginrei, asked if Byakuya wanted to help him set up the guest bedroom for Ichigo. He declined and cried out, "No! Ichi-berry wants to sleep with me!" to which his grandfather chuckled and didn’t even bother arguing.After four long years, Masaki was out of rehab and clean at last. She had just given birth to Yuzu and Karin two days ago, and was marveling in happiness that they were completely healthy. After returning from rehab she and an almost four year old Ichigo (his birthday was in two months) had become extremely close; her and six year old Byakuya being the center of his world. The two boys spent every other day with each other, Byakuya being mean to Ichigo at times but apologizing for him immediately after realizing he'd upset him.
Ichigo occasionally had fits, somewhat like mini-seizures. He would get a distant look in his eyes, faint or collapse, break out in a cold sweat, and shake convulsively. Byakuya, being very protective of him, held him when these attacks happen and refused to let anyone near Ichigo, even his parents who still worry. They were small bits of shock that occasionally ran through his body due to the missing drug that he was born with and had running through him when he was still in Masaki. They were harmless so much as he didn't injure himself when he fell down down. Byakuya called referred to them as “daymares.” Ichigo only allowed Byakuya to call him Ichi-berry, and Byakuya allows him to call him Bya-ya-chan but glares playfully and blushes a bit whenever he's called it. Ichigo blushes and grins widely when he calls him Ichi-berry. Ichigo's parents’ and Genrei would joke that they would get married one day during dinner that night. Ichigo announced that he wanted to be the girl and look pretty like his momma when they did and the two boys couldn't look happier, Masaki cooing softly at them while Isshin sighed and Ginrei snickered. Byakuya slept over, and the next morning Masaki said that she was going to spend a week with Ichigo alone in the house while Isshin showed the twins to his parents. Masaki was staying home to recuperate from birthing the twins and would have liked Ichigo to keep her company. He happily agreed and went into his room with Byakuya to tell him the news. They played for a few hours before Masaki and Ichigo drove Byakuya home. She watched as they held hands with goofy grins on their faces as Ichigo walked Byakuya the five feet to his door. As Ginrei opened the door for his grandson, the six year old swooped down and kissed the significantly shorter boy on the cheek before running inside and yelling bye. Ichigo yelled bye to Ginrei and the already gone Byakuya. He ran to the car and yelled "Mommy he loves me!!" when she lifted him to put him in his booster seat. She played along and said, "Oh my how romantic! We'll have to plan a wedding soon! There'll be roses everywhere!" They talk about the wedding and Ichigo insisted that unless they have Cherry Blossoms, Byakuya's favorite, he would "find a new weddinger to make his wedding!"Please Rate and Review!
