You will be saved Ichigo

Disturbed by the information she crumpled the note and walked too the kitchen, the cooks stopped working and looked at her. But she went up to the wood stove and threw the note in. Turning around, all the cooks were still watching her

“It was private information for my eyes only, and what better way too destroy a note than burn it. Now please, get back too work.”
Walking into the other room and sat down, exchanging glances with everyone at the table

“He had a nightmare of the nights, didn’t he?”
Asked Orihme and Rukia nodded, they ate silently and went separate ways after breakfast. Rukia decided too stay in her room, which was a good a good idea. Because just as she got in her room Ichigo began crying out in his. Again she went in his room but he still slept as she entered, she whispered soothingly

“Shh Ichigo, relax you are safe. No one can hurt you. Everything’s fine, sleep easy I am with you.”
She managed too get to the bed and stroke his hair, watching him calm and reach out for her. They got in the same position as the night before without him waking up, she continued too stroke his hair as he slept. Hours later noon came and Ichigo started to stir, he tensed for a moment until he recognized the gentle touch and flipped onto his back to look at her

“What time is it?”
He asked while rubbing his eyes

“I’d say about lunch time.”
Bewildered he stared at her a moment before mumbling

“You stayed here this long?”
Smiling at him, replying

“It’s no problem, everyone went their own way today. And I was heading back to my room any way. Um Ichigo do you remember last night?”

“No not really, why?”

“Well before you went back too sleep I said, that perhaps your mother is here some where in Rukongai. And that maybe we would be able to find her.” At her last statement Ichigo sat up so fast, he thought someone had just shook the world in a tantrum

“But this place is so big. How could we do it?”

“Well you still have some time here maybe we’ll get lucky.”
A huge smile crept on his face

“Yeah I won’t get my hopes up, but it is great you would even want too help me try.”

“Well as you said last night, I’m the older sister you never had.”
Laughing he sat up again and Rukia left the room so he could change, putting a message on the table that said they wouldn’t be back until after supper they left. It had been several hours they had been walking around and Ichigo asked

“Hey Rukia? Do you think we can rest in the shade for a few?”

“Yeah sure.”
So searching a little they found a nice shady tree too sit under and laid under it

“You know it would be better if they organized this place. Like alphabetical or by year. You know.”
The question got her to chuckle

“Yeah right like that would ever happen. Although maybe they’ve just never thought of it. I guess a suggestion like that wouldn’t hurt.”
After ten minutes they got up and started walking again. Both completely shocked when someone grabbed Ichigo and flew out of site, she ran screaming

“ICHIGO?!! ICHIGO?!! WHERE ARE YOU?!!”
She heard him yell and a thump followed by a big dust cloud, running to the spot still calling him

“ICHIGO?!! TALK TOO ME!!”
Rounding a corner she saw him on the ground rubbing his ass, he screamed

“WHO EVER DID THAT BEST WATCH YOUR ASS!!! YOU DON’T MESS WITH ME WITH OUT LEAVING SCARRED FUCKER!!!”

“Ichigo!! I raised you better than that!! Such language is horrible!!”
Both twirled around, seeing a woman with hands on her hips and foot tapping

“Mom?.”

“That’s right, now what have you got too say for yourself?”
Ichigo looked at the ground, his whole body shaking

“I’m sorry mom. But I’ve changed greatly since you died. I wish I had died that day and not you.”
Masaki ran up to him and hugged him tightly

“Ichigo?! Don’t say that ever again!! Why would you even say such a thing?!!”
Rukia interrupted them

“I believe that is a conversation that should only be done in privacy, miss Kurosaki.”
Looking at Rukia and then her very stiff son she nodded, all of them went back to Kuchiki mansion. When they got there Ichigo brought his mom to his room, after having Rukia tell everyone not too come that way. They settled on his cot Masaki look at him

“Now Ichigo what is going on? Why would you want too be dead? What terrible things could make you want too be dead instead of me?”
Again he started shaking and tears fell from his eyes, which became blank when he looked at his mother

“Nights are the worst, I haven’t been the same since. He should have killed me the first time. I WANT TO DIE AFTER!! I NEVER WANT TO GO BACK!!”
She could only stare as Ichigo clung to her

“Ichigo? Who? What?”
Silence ruled for many minutes as he tried to compose himself, finally he admitted

“Isshin has been raping me since you died, I always fight. Sometimes he brings something in with him, too hurt me more.”
Numb was the only way to describe how Masaki felt when she heard him speak those words, tears fell as she held Ichigo tighter

“Oh god Ichigo, my baby. If I had known I would have stayed around and protected you!!”
They stayed that way crying for a long while, until he fell asleep. After a while Rukia opened the door and began lighting the room

“He feels safer with lights on. I had lent my shinigami powers too Ichigo. So he could protect his sisters and on the second night of staying in his closest. Isshin came in and did that. I had wanted too kill him for it. And the many times after.”
Both had tears when they looked at each other

“It’s just so hard too believe my loving Isshin would do such a thing.”
Sighing sadly Rukia walked to the door but stopped adding over her shoulder

“Be careful at nights, he tends too have nightmares.”
Masaki was grateful that Ichigo slept through the night. But she was concerned that he was still asleep when all his friends were up, then Rukia walked in

“Since he has been here, Ichigo has been sleeping soundly till noon. If you want you can come too the dining room.”

“Alright I will, but I’ll leave a message for him.”
Once she left the note beside his head they went too the room, Masaki commented

“Oh wow it seems my son has found a good number of friends.”
As she sat down Orihme greeted her

“Good morning Mrs. Kurosaki. It has been a long time.”
Masaki stared at her dumb founded and Orihme giggled

“It’s me Orihme Inoue, though I have changed a lot since you last saw me.”

“Oh my! Little Orihme? Yes you have changed, wow is your hair ever long now. I remember the first time I met you. You were so tiny and fragile.”
The comment caused Orihme too blush and make a face

“I’m not so fragile now.”

“Oh of course not dear! You have turned out to be, a very strong young woman.”
Smiles spread around the table, then breakfast came and idle talk went through out it. They all decided too wait around the mansion till Ichigo woke up and went to the gardens, which wasn’t far from his room. All were startled when they heard Ichigo scream and ran for his room, Masaki threw open his door yelling his name. Ichigo bolted from the cot and turned on everyone with his sword but then quickly lost interest with them. He kept looking around his room franticly, he was growling and in a battle ready stance

“Ichigo? What is it? There’s nothing there!”
Asked his mother. Suddenly lieutenant Yachiru Kusajika jumped in the window bubbly as ever, yelling

“Hi everybody!!! What’s with all the screaming?!”
It was unfortunate timing for her, she screamed as Ichigo swung his sword her way and a power blast caused her too fly through the air. The group didn’t know where the tiny lieutenant went or how far, as they had too run when Ichigo bolted out of the opening in his wall

“WHAT’S GOING ON?!!”
Yelled Masaki and Rukia replied back slightly lower

“I don’t know! This has never happened before!!”

“Well whatever’s happening!! We better stop him before he destroys something or someone!!” Shouted Uryuu as he ran ahead of them they all caught up too him, but they couldn’t see Ichigo again Uryuu yelled

“Damn!! How fast can that guy run?!!”

“As fast as a mod soul!!”
Rukia commented

“YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!!!”
Disbelief and annoyance laced his voice, they could see dust rising up and ran that way all calling

“ICHIGO!!!”
They heard him scream and when they got there they could see Kenpachi wrestling with him, Rukia pleaded

“Kenpachi let him go!! He won’t calm down until you release him!! Please we can wake him!!”

“AFTER WHAT THIS LITTLE BRAT DID TO YACHIRU?!! THIS KID DESERVERS A GOOD BEATING!!”
Everyone got mad at the comment and Rukia screamed at the captain

“IT’S BECAUSE OF BEATINGS HE’S LIKE THIS!! SO LET HIM GO!! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!”
He stopped fighting with Ichigo and just held him, everyone staring at her in shock

“WHAT?!! I’M OLD ENOUGH TOO SWEAR!! NOW LET HIM GO!!”
Slowly Kenpachi let him go, Rukia and Masaki ran too catch him before he took off again. Both speaking softly too him

“Ichigo it’s OK, your safe. Nothings here, nothing can hurt you.”
Spoke Rukia while Masaki started singing

“My little one so sweet and true. Always I’ll be there for you. As I do watch you sleep. Know if you leave I shall weep. My precious baby never hurt. For if you do I shall feel that hurt. Brother of beautiful girls. Watch them as they twirl. Protect them as I do you. And you’ll always have good news. Be happy my sweet little babe. Look for rainbows on rainy days. My little one so sweet and true. Always I’ll be there for you. Know if you leave I shall weep. My precious. Sweet. Little. Babe.”
Ichigo sunk too the ground holding Masaki and began sobbing, crumpling in on himself with his head on her lap.
