Healing His Solitude - Aizen Sousuke Love Story

Chapter 38 - New Life

Shiori pov:

"Shiori.....what is going on here?" Ichigo asked shocked.

I gave him a sheepish smile glancing nervously at all the other shinigami who had gathered around us. They weren't very happy but they weren't attacking because they could tell Sousuke had somehow become weaker and a pregnant girl was sitting rather comfortably in his embrace.

"Uh, well the thing is...." I started hesitantly.

"Oi Peanut, don't talk." I glared at Kaijin as he spoke. "I'll be the one to explain things here."

"Hey!! Don't call me that in front of so many people!" I complained only to receive more suspicious stares. Kaijin just raised a brow at me and I pouted before looking away.

"Okay, so....lets start from the beginning shall we?" Kaijin said getting everyone's attention as he began to narrate how everything that had happened before had led to this.

>>Timeskip

"So you're saying that you reduced Aizen to a low level shinigami?" Ichigo asked still not believing everything that Kiajin had narrated.

Kaijin had started off by introducing himself and telling people the whole story of how he was related to Sai, why he attacked Soul Society, me being taken to Hueco Mundo by Sousuke, everything that happened there, how I understood that Sousuke was merely unable to be normal because of how he saw the world with his level of power and finally.....that I was going to have his child.

I think that was the most shocking thing. People were gawking at me when I told them about the baby. I felt really awkward under their gazes.

But everyone was kind of relaxed that Sousuke no longer posed as a threat to the human world or Soul Society. They weren't defensive anymore and merely stood around us calmly.

"Ichimaru Gin. You have accepted your crimes also stating that you followed Aizen for revenge." Kuchiki san stated in a monotone.

Ichimaru san was relaxed too and he didn't bother trying to act strong. His Zanpakuto had been confiscated and he had a calm yet sad smile on his face. "Yeah....I was angry at Aizen taichou when he tried ta hurt Rangiku a long time ago. I guess it doesn' matter anymore. Shiori chan seems ta have changed his heart for the bett'r. Besides, I think she needs him now more than ever.....I'm tired of runnin' away and I guess I could let Aizen taichou off since Rangiku ain't really hurt."

"Gin...." I looked at Rangiku san when she spoke. Her eyes were glazed over, her expression one of shock. But she looked relieved. So relieved.

"Yare yare....I don't wanna see ya lookin' like that, Rangiku. I came all this way ta see ya smile....not look like that!" Ichimaru san teased. I smiled though, holding Sousuke's tattered shirt a little tighter as Rangiku san didn't hold back from running to Ichimaru san and falling into his chest.

She buried her face in his shoulder, silent hiccups escaping from her lips. Ichimaru san opened his eyes, a warm, loving emotion swirling within them as he hooked at her. He looked calm.....all the emotions of sadness no longer in his eyes. He lifted his hand and placed it gently on her head holding her back to comfort her. "I'm sorry, Rangiku."

"Doesn't it feel good to see people reunite?" I looked up at Sousuke with a smile. He had been silent the whole time just taking in everything that was happening around us.

He still had his arms around me in a rather protective embrace. I couldn't tell if he was happy or angry with what had happened. I mean, suddenly losing all his powers to become a foot soldier shinigami; I know I did it because I didn't want him hurt by Soul Society and I wanted him to be with me as we raised our little family. I'm not sure if Soul Society would second that though.
