When they got to the first division building, Renji stood in front of the crowd 12 captions stood watching, along with their lieutenants, seated officers, and squad members, as Renji was about to take the final captions chair.
“Abarai Renji,” Caption commander Yamamoto said, Renji approaching him slowly, “You wish to fill the seat that Aizen left.”
“Yes sir.” Renji said standing up straight making direct eye contact with the caption commander.
“You have proven yourself in the past, your extraordinary strength, you honor and loyalty is also impressive, though your willingness to bend my rules, not so impressive, but that can’t be said of any other captions, who among you have not broken one of my rules?” Yamamoto said, his eyes looking over the group of captions, “speak out captions, what do you have to say, of this boy joining your ranks?” Yamamoto asked hitting his staff to the ground like a gavial.
“I approve,” Byakuya said in his, straightforward tone.
“He has my full support,” Kira said, he too had been promoted to caption, filling Gin’s seat.
“I think hell make a wonderful caption.” Unohana said with a smile.
“I approve as well,” Ukitake said.
“If Ukitake agrees, so do I.” Kyoraku added.
“He’s strong, what else do you need?” Zaraki said.
“He’s got what it takes.” Hisagi said in support.
“He still has much to learn, and room to grow, but I think hell rise to the challenge.” Soifon said in approval.
“I’ve seen him in battle with my own eyes, he dose wonders even under pressure.” Toshiro said.
“If Yamamoto-sensei approves of you than so do I.” Komamura said placing his fist over his heart.
“If everyone feels so strongly then, I have no choice, he is a great solider,” Mayuri said.
“We have a unanimous response, congratulations Caption Abarai Renji, Welcome to the fifth squad.” Yamamoto said proudly.
“Congratulations Caption Abarai” Soifon said leaving the hall.
“Congratulations Renji” Kira, said leaving.
“Caption Abarai” Unohana said as she quietly stepped out.
“Don’t mess up.” Byakuya said leaving.
“Good luck,” Komamura said.
“We should have a drink later to celebrate.” Kyoraku said.
“This will be fun.” Hisagi said leaving.
“Don’t lose your temper too much.” Toshiro warned.
“Don’t screw this up boy!” Mayuri scolded.
“You do fine.” Ukitake sad, patting Renji on the shoulder. The rest of the squad members had already filed out.
“Good job man!” Ikkaku sad.
“This is a beautiful accomplishment.” Yumichika cheered.
“Congrats Renji!” Matsumoto cheered.
“This will be a lot of fun.” Hinamori said handing Renji his Haori.
“Renji!” Rukia cheered running up to Renji, Ichigo behind her.
“Rukia! Ichigo!” Renji said in delight.
“Ichigo!” Zaraki said approaching Ichigo, “who the hell is that?” he asked pointing to Taro.
“My son.” Ichigo replied.
“Is he as strong as you?” Zaraki asked lifting Taro, who squealed in delight, especially when Yachiru grabbed his tiny feet and ticked them. Renji stared jaw agape at Taro’s reaction.
“Well he’s about four days old now,” Ichigo stated.
“Oh Kuchiki-san he’s adorable” Unohana cried, Isane following behind her.
“You’ve brought my nephew!” Byakuya said, with a tiny smile that sent everyone into a state of shock, especially when Byakuya picked him up and laughed.
“I had heard that birth could still be given once you come to soul society, but it never ceases to amaze even me.” Mayuri said taking Taro.
“So this is you little bundle.” Ukitake said admiring little Taro, “he looks just like you Rukia.”
“Aww he’s so cute!” Soifon said snacking Taro from Mayuri and lifting him n the air. Kira came over and rubbed the tiny babies head.
“He’s adorable. Kira said smiling.” Hinamori took his little feet in her hand and lifted them up and down, Taro was squealing with delight at all the attention.
“So this is who got me forced into shopping.” Toshiro said with a smile, “I no longer mind.”
“Cute!” Matsumoto squealed taking Taro from Soifon and cradling him.
“Good job Kurosaki, Nano-chan I hope out baby looks this cute” Kyoraku said smiling.
“Our baby! Nanao said in anger. Renji at this point was fuming.
“Don’t hog the baby!” he said annoyed, Taro began to scream when Renji took him. Unohana took Taro, and cradled him, he instantly stopped crying.
“What did you do to him?”  Nanao asked annoyed. Renji clenched his fist and marched off. That kid is just trying to piss me off! Renji grumbled. This is supposed to be my big moment, and that kid is taking all the attention, and making me look like an ass. Renji stormed to the filth squad building, and went into his quarters, he spread out over his new futon, and began to punch the ground.  Back at the first Davison head quarters, Taro fell asleep in Unohana’s arms she handed the baby back to Rukia.
“Thank you Caption Unohana” Rukia said smiling.
“Bring him by anytime” Unohana said, as everyone slowly filed out, getting a lat look at the tiny baby.
“When he gets old enough, send him by, I wanna see if he’s as strong as you.” Zaraki said with a devilish grin. Ichigo plastered a fake smile, but the fear could easily be seen threw it, Rukia clutching her baby boy, they retuned to the real world, Renji still pouting.
“I wonder why Taro dislikes Renji so much?” Rukia asked, feeding the hungry baby his bottle.
“Maybe it was just a bad first impression.” Ichigo said, “He’s good at making bad first impressions” Ichigo said with a laugh.
“What do you mean?” Rukia asked.
“I hated him too when we first meet.” Ichigo explained.
“Well he and Nii-sama were taking me back to Soul Society by force.” Rukia said shrugging “that could be understood.” Before they new it July was here, which meant Ichigo’s birthday, Rukia didn’t no what to do for him. Ichigo was officially 20 years old, Rukia decide to start the day my pouncing on him in his sleep. Ichigo woke with an annoyed expression, he looked up to see Rukia nuzzling him like a cat.
“Morning Ichi! Happy birthday.” She said sweetly. Ichigo wrapping his arms around her, rolling to the side, her body curved perfectly with his, his arms griping her tighter. There was a loud pounding at the door, but it quickly stopped. Oi!
“Renji!” Rukia said in shock.
“What are you doing here?” Ichigo asked sitting up.
“Came to wish you a happy birthday is all.” Renji said, climbing threw the window.
“Nice to see you Renji.” Rukia said.
“So what are your plans for today?” Renji asked.
“Well tell you after we figure it out.” Ichigo replied.
“I’m going to check on Taro.” Rukia said standing up, and heading towards the door.
“I’ll come with you.” Ichigo said following behind her.
“And I’ll come too!” Renji said following Ichigo. In Taro’s room, the tiny baby was wide awake his little arms reaching for his mobile, as Rukia opened the door, Taro’s head turned to it. He squealed in delight watching his mother walk into the room. Rukia lifted her smiling baby. Ichigo came up behind her, his hands on her hips, his head resting on her shoulder, she cradled her tiny two-month-old baby. Renji was walking towards the giggling baby when he tripped over Tao’s bouncer, Rukia and Ichigo quickly turned and ran over to Renji, who was hunched over the Bouncer, Taro laughing insanely at Renji. Before anyone realized Taro’s arms where held out to Renji, he looked confused.
“I think he wants you to hold him Renji.” Rukia said smiling.
“Really?” Renji said in confusion.  Rukia handed baby Taro to Renji. Taro. Renji was holding Taro by his underarms, Renji had never held a baby before. He smiled watching Taro swing his legs.
“I’ll get his bottle.” Ichigo said leaving the room. Rukia holding onto Taro’s feet as he swings them back and forth. Renji looked over at Rukia’s smiling face, his cheeks tinting red. Is this what it would be like if Rukia was my wife, and Taro was my son, instead of Ichigo. Renji smiled. Maybe I could… he thought wondering what would happen if he put his arm around her, his hopes were dashed, as Ichigo walked into the room, giving Rukia a tender kiss on the cheek and handed her Taro’s bottle. Ichigo took Taro, and cradled him, Rukia wrapped her arms around Ichigo waist, and fed Taro, Renji sat down in the near by rocking chair, his elbows pressing into his legs and his head rested on his hands. He sighed heavily watching the chubby baby drinking from the bottle. When the bottle was empty, Rukia set it on the changing table and took Taro, his hand resting on her shoulder, and she gently patted Taro’s back, until he let out a tiny burp.
“All better now?” Rukia asked lifting her baby into the air, “Who’s a gassy baby? You are!” Taro squealed with joy.  Ichigo grabbed Taro’s bouncer and the group headed into the living room, Rukia set Taro in his bouncer, he kicked his legs, and sent the bouncer up and down, Ichigo turned on there new TV.
“Put chappy on!” Rukia asked.
“I don’t wanna watch the rabbit crap.” Ichigo replied.
“Don’t insult Rukia’s taste!” Renji demanded.
“Don’t be a kiss ass, Renji.” Ichigo replied.
“But Taro loves chappy!” Rukia said grabbing Ichigo’s arm. Ichigo rolled his eyes.
“But it’s my birthday.” Ichigo wined, “can’t I watch something half way decent?”
“But it will make Taro happy, and when Taro’s happy, I’m happy,” Rukia leaned in and whispered, “and when I’m happy, you’re happy.” She said slowly.
“So chappy then? Alright sounds great.” He said turning the channel. Rukia and Taro squealed, and clapped, Rukia as dancing to the theme song, Taro bounced up and down giggling. Ichigo stared into the distance annoyed, while Renji sat enjoying the view of Rukia happy.
“I’m ganna get some chips, anyone want anything.” Ichigo asked.
“Water please.” Rukia replied.
“Got it. Renji?” Ichigo asked.
“I’m good.” He replied. Ichigo walked into the kitchen, and gathered up the chips dumping them into a bowl, Renji stretched his arms, he wanted to lay it across the back of the couch, but he didn’t want to betray Ichigo, or get injured by Rukia, or get his heart broken again. I’m just getting comfortable. He thought, laying his arms across the couch. Ichigo came back handing Rukia her water, and put his arm around her shoulders, his hand draped over her shoulder, Rukia laced her fingers threw his draped hand, and leaned her head on his shoulder. Renji sighed he felt his heart twinge with pain. There was a loud nock at the door.
“Can you get that Renji?” Ichigo asked.
“Sure.” Renji replied standing up, and opening the door.
“Happy birthday Kurosaki-kun!” Orihime greeted running over to Ichigo giving him a hug.
“How does it feel to be twenty Kurosaki?” Ishida asked.
“Doesn’t feel much different from nine-teen” Ichigo replied, “Orihime…”
“Yeah, Kurosaki-kun?” she asked.
“You can let go of me now.” He replied.
“Sorry!” she said jumping back in a panic.
“It’s ok.” Ichigo insisted, “Chips?” he said gesturing the bowl of chips towards Orihime and Ishida.
“No thanks Kurosaki. But what are you watching?” Ishida asked.
“I’m not, Rukia and Taro are watching chappy.” Ichigo replied.
“I see.” Ishida replied adjusting his glasses.
“I’m not watching this rabbit crap!” Ichigo insisted.
“Its not crap!” Rukia yelled thrusting her elbow into Ichigo’s ribs.
“Any way Kurosaki, we got you a gift.” Ishida said.
“Here you go Kurosaki-kun!” Orihime said cheerfully handing Ichigo a nicely wrapped gift.
“You didnt have to.” Ichigo said smiling, and taking the gift. He quickly opened it, it was a coffee mug, inscribed, I’m not over the hill, but I’m all most there.
“Funny,” Ichigo said smirking. Renji glanced over, maybe I should of got him something for his birthday, Renji pondered, even though, it doesn’t look like Rukia got him anything, Renji thought for a second, who am I kidding, she’s probably saving her ‘gift’ for tonight. He said with a sigh. Ichigo.
“Oh, hey Chad.” Ichigo said, watching Chad walk threw the open door.
“Happy birthday Ichigo.” Chad said, handing Ichigo a card. Ichigo pulled it out of the envelope. Ten games for when you’re a ‘tad’ older. Ichigo opened the card 1. Sag, you’re it 2. Pin the Toupee on the bald guy 3. 20 questions shouted into your good ear 4. Kick the bucket 5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says Bend Over 6. Doc Goose 7. Simon says something incoherent 8. Hide and go pee 9. Spin the Bottle of Mylanta 10. Musical recliners.
“Many I remind you who the oldest here is.” He said gesturing towards Rukia, who once again elbowed Ichigo.
“I’m not old.” She protested, Ichigo in pain.
“Stop elbowing me midget!” Ichigo scolded in anger.
“Stop making fun of me!” she replied.  
“But you look so cute frustrated.” Ichigo responded.
“Then I bet I’m adorable!” she said kicking him in the shin, and storming off. Ichigo hobbled after her, he went into their room behind her and closed the door, Orihime, Chad, Ishida, and Renji all followed behind in curiosity. From outside the door they heard Ichigo and Rukia yelling at each other.
“This just sounds like the normal Rukia and Ichigo, nothing new.” Ishida said.
“Is it me, or did it just get really quiet?” Chad asked.
“Yeah, it is really quiet, do you think they killed each other?” Ishida asked. There was a sudden crash.
“Oh no! Rukia finally killed him!” Orihime shirked. She shot over to the door, throwing it open, Rukia shrieked, Orihime shrieked, Rukia shrieked again, Orihime quickly closed the door, slamming it shut. She turned towards Chad, Renji, and Ishida, her face beet red, her eyes bulging, her skin pale drained of all color.
“Is he dead?” Ishida asked.
“There both vary! Alive…” she said quivering.
“What was that crash?” Chad asked.
“They both fell over.” Orihime replied biting her lips.
“Were they?” Renji asked, Orihime just nodded slowly. Ishida ran over to her giving her a hug.
“It’s ok.” Ishida said, Orihime just stood there the image had been burned into her mind. A tangled mess of limbs and sheets, Ichigo was perched over Rukia, who was still in shock about Orihime walking in, Ichigo sat up, Rukia pulled the sheets over herself, and Ichigo was rubbing the back of his head.
“What do you wanna?” Rukia started to ask.
“I really don’t know.”  Ichigo replied, he glanced down for a moment, then back over to Rukia, “wanna get dressed and apologues, for doing this before they left?”
“Yeah.” Rukia replied, scooping her cloths off the floor. The group was sitting downstairs on the couch, Orihime trying to get that image out of her head, Ichigo and Rukia walked downstairs their faced a bit red, from the incident.
“Sorry.” Ichigo murmured.
“It’s not really your fault” Ishida said, “maybe you should have locked your door though.”
“We didn’t really plan for it… to… go… there…” Rukia said nervously.
“Were did you plan it to go?” Renji asked.
“No were actually.” Ichigo replied laughing.
“I think I’m going to head home.” Chad said standing up and heading out the door. Renji played a cell phone ring tone.
“Oh! Mo Mo’s calling, I must be getting back to my squad.” Renji said ducking out the acquired situation.
“So Orihime, weren’t we going to stop by your brother’s grave today?” Ishida asked.
“No.” Orihime replied.
“Well we better get their before the crowds do!” he said pulling Orihime along.
“Well that was acquired.” Rukia said with a sudden perk. Ichigo sat down on the couch, Taro was still enjoying the TV. Rukia sat next to Ichigo.
“What now?” she asked.
“Wanna…” Ichigo asked.
“Ok.” Rukia said, with a smile. She stood up wand walked upstairs Ichigo’s behind her his hands on her hips. Rukia fell back onto the mattress. Ichigo ran his hand down her side. Ichigo pulled his shirt over his head, while Rukia took off his belt, letting loose his jeans. Ichigo’s hand ran down her back, her body curved into his touch, the zipper following his fingers down her back. Her selves falling down her arms, her legs dangling over the edge, her dress failing down her legs, Rukia scooted up farther, Ichigo climbed over her. He kissed her neck, her hot breath caressing his skin. In the next room Taro began to tire, and cry.
“You want me to?” Ichigo asked.
“I got him.” Rukia replied. Se slid from under him, her hand gently caressing his skin and she moved from under him. Her dress wrapped around her legs as she walked towards the door.
“Rukia!” Ichigo warned watching her fall over her dress. Ichigo couldn’t help but laugh, he got up helping Rukia up. Ow, ow, ow. She whimpered, standing up. She rubbed her head, Ichigo kissed her forehead.
“It hurts here too.” She said cutely, pointing to her chest, he gently kissed were she pointed, “And here,” she said rubbing her stomach, he kissed her slender tummy, he stood up, “and here.” She finished kissing his lips with great force. She pulled back, Grabbing Taro from his bouncer, he stopped crying, his eyes heavy, she smiled at her adorable son, turning the TV off and tucking him into his crib. She grabbed Taro’s bottle of baby oil, and She went beck into her and Ichigo’s room he was laid out, his arms hanging over the edges of the mattress, Rukia climbed onto the mattress, she said down by his feet, she lubed up her hands, and gently taking Ichigo’s feet in her hands, she started to rub, and massage his feet, switching feet every few minuets.
“Turn over.” Rukia said finishing up on the foot message.
“Why?” he asked curiously.
“Trust me.” She said smiling. She straddled his back, she applied more oil to his back and slowly moved up and down, pressing her palms into his back, and rubbing his shoulders vigorously, Ichigo flipped her over, and onto the mattress hovering over her she smiled, her hands still covered with oil, she held Ichigo’s face, his cheeks becoming shiny, he passionately kissed her lips, as she felt their bodies merge, and he felt her warmth enveloped him, her hands running up and down his slick black, each gentle thrust filling her with joy. Rukia’s cell phone suddenly going off.
“Who that?” Ichigo asked annoyed.
“That’s Renji’s ring tone.” She replied rolling her eyes, “ignore him.”
“Deal.” Ichigo agree continuing along in a rhythmic pattern when Rukia’s cell went off yet again.
“Dammit! Renji!” Ichigo shouted pissed off. He reached over garbing the phone.
“What the hell do you want Renji!” Ichigo demanded.
“Can I talk to Rukia?” he asked. Ichigo handed the phone to Rukia.
“What?”  Rukia asked, short of breath.
“You sound tired.” Renji said.
“Well I’m kinda in the middle of something Renji, what do yo want?” Rukia asked annoyed.
“What are you in the middle of?” Renji asked
“I don’t really wanna tell you.” Rukia said.
“Come on you can tell me.” Renji insisted.
“I’d rather not.” Rukia insisted back.
“Please.” Renji begged.
“Fine,” Rukia sighed, “I’m in the middle of a large muscle penetrating the space between my legs and I’d rather concentrate on that right now.”
“Huh?” Renji asked.
“I’m having sex with Ichigo, and I was trying to say it with some humor.” Rukia said annoyed hanging up the phone. Ichigo was laughing at her remark.
“At lest you found that funny.” Rukia said smirking. Ichigo grinned, he grabbed her waist, and flipped Rukia over, so she was sitting above him, his hand moving down grasping her hips, slowly puling down, Rukia lend in her hands on the sides of his head, she pulled a pillow under his head. Kissing passionately while pressing her hips down, Renji called yet again.
“Ow!” Rukia cried pulling back.
“Oop’s sorry.” Ichigo said, grabbing the cell of the nightstand.
“I can’t believe you bit my tongue.” Rukia said trying to look for a bite mark. Ichigo laughed watching Rukia trying to investigate her tongue.
“What the hell do you want Renji!” Ichigo demanded harshly.
“I just thought of something.” Renji announced.
“Your thinking, we should be scared.” Ichigo replied.
“Ha, ha. NO but went you two, going at it earlier? Are you like horny or something?” Renji asked.
“What my wife and I do is none of your concern.” Ichigo stated.
“Fine, I’ll just tell Caption Kuchiki.” Renji replied, “I’m sure he’d be interested in the frequency, you two have sex.”
“I doubt Byakuya would care, he knows what married couples do, he was married once too.” Ichigo replied.
“Wait he’s ganna tell Nii-sama!” Rukia asked nervously.
“That’s what he just said he should do.” Ichigo replied. Rukia snatched the phone.
“Renji!” Rukia shouted.
“Oi, Rukia.” Renji said cheerfully, “How are you?”
“If you tell Nii-sama anything, I’ll never talk to you again.” Rukia demanded.
“Rukia?” Renji said confused, “I’d never do that to you, just to Ichigo.”
“Well if you hurt Ichigo, or get him in trouble with Nii-sama, we go back the I’ll never talk to you again thing.” Rukia said hanging up the phone, and throwing it across the room. Rukia leaned back in, running her tongue along Ichigo’s cheek, he giggled latching onto his ear gently, and tugging on it, and Ichigo laughed and continued to move in deeper. The moon was setting, and being replaced by the sun Rukia was snuggled up in Ichigo’s arms, she gently licked his cheek, much like a puppy, Ichigo ran his hands down her back, lessening to Rukia purring.
“Happy birthday.” she said softly.
