Yuzuki blinked. Set had some very valid questions. WHY Was she so proud? What did Set do to make her proud? Yuzuki went to Set, and hugged his arm, not feelin quite as sick but still feeling like crap all the same.
She watched anxiously as the old lady went to them, and rolled her eyes.
"You two are more dense than a couple of plywood boards." she said smiling. Yuzuki looked at her and glared, a flare of impatience crossing her features.
"Hope you're ready to be a mommy Yuzuki-chan. Because soon there's gonna be a little mini you or mini Set running around here!"
Yuzuki blanched. What... She looked up at Set... she supposed she should have been happy... and she blinked... forcing a smile on her face, but inside...she was terrified. A mother...? But...but she didn't think she would be a good mother. Images of her past floated through her mind, and her hands shook as she held on to Set, suddenly, the noises all whirling through her mind as it all became incorherent noises and Hideki began to squeal in excitement.

♕♛ Okay.
This had to be bullshit.
Nobody ever gave him a manual which told him how to and how to not get a girl pregnant! His eyes widened, and all he was able to feel that moment was his girlfriend on his arm. Okay. This was something else. He was seriously going to be a father? To the children of himself and Yuzuki. They weren't even really married! That would...that would need to change. The thought made him blush but it was true.
He looked down at Yuzuki, who smiled at him. He felt her hands shaking. She was just as iffy about it. It wasn't that he didn't want a child with her, he just didn't expect it. And he wasn't exactly the best with kids! He had to learn somewhere though, right? He leaned down and kissed the top of her head, imagining Yuzuki without meaning to as he did so. He saw her with his child in her. She was really pregnant. She would be a mother and he would be a father. He didn't care how much it had to be repeated, he didn't know if what was going through him was excitement or fear.
Out of...something, he took Yuzuki and instantly began moving her to the other room. "I-i need to talk to me wife." He spoke frantically, going into the other room and closing the door behind him, turning to Yuzuki and staring into her eyes. "I....what do you think about this?" He asked.

Hitomi and Hideki were too b usy celebrating to notice, but Yuzuki's eyes were blank her smile painted on as if she were a doll. She hardly even noticed when Set ushered her into the other room. It took her a second to realize she'd been moved, and Set was talking to her. She blinked, her eyes suddenly focusing, and she shook her head.
"What? How... what do I think about this?" She said, in a dazed voice. She looked up at him, and bit her lip... her eyes casting down wards as the memory of her father cutting her down from the rafters of a dark room, after being bound for three days. Her lip trembled, then suddenly she burst into tears.
"I CAN'T BE A MOM!" She sobbed hysterically. "I'm...going...to be the worst mother ever!" she wailed between panicked sobs, her breaths hyperventilated and ragged, words choked out in fear.

♕♛ Honestly, when he heard Yuzuki say that, something snapped. Set had similar thoughts. He grew up alone in Hueco Mundo, he knew nothing about family at a young age. Children were the only people he couldn't show empathy. Still, somehow hearing Yuzuki doubt herself so much made him change.
"No...no, I can't sit here and let you believe that. Not you. I..." He gulped slightly, his eyes glossing over a bit. "I was drawn to you for your kindness and nothing else in the beginning, only beginning to notice how beautiful you are later." He spoke, his hands on her arms. "Our child...he or she will think the same. I know it. Neither of us will hurt them. Yuzuki, we WILL be good parents. Great parents, the best ever." His words were shaky but honest.
"You are..the only one I want for this. I want to start this family with you Yuzuki. Only you." He moved his hands up to cup her face, lifting it gently to see his own. "Because I'm in love with you. Yuzuki. I love you. If you can make that happen...then you and I together, we can raise a child as our own. I know it."

Her hands had clapped over her face in her sobs, her legs feeling as if she were going to buckle under the world of pain and stress she'd just entered. She felt she'd been hit by a bus, or ran over by a train. Her sobs were quiet, but unrestrained, her body shaking as her legs threatened to give out. His words, she heard them, but she couldn't look at him, couldn't acknowledge him. A child! What was she going to do? He was drawn to her for her kindness - what did kindness have to do with her being a mother? Kindness was not what attributed to a mom! At least she didn't think so. Set's hands touched her arms but still she kept her hands up until his next words rang in her ears.
"Neither of us will hurt them. Yuzuki we WILL be good parents. Great parents. The best ever." She almost laughed at him. Even his own voice shook unconvincingly. THEM? The greatest parents. They were born and bred KILLERS! Not nurturing care givers! Her hands fell from her face, and she started to shake her head, hysterical laughter bubbling up in her throat - her chest constricted. "You are... the only one I want for this. I want to start this family with you Yuzuki. Only you." These words dimmed the noise of the panic in her mind and his hands braced her cheeks lifting up, her brown eyes staring up at him through blurry vision, tears streaming quietly down her face still. "Because I'm in love with you. Yuzuki. I love you. If you can make that happen... then you and I together, we can raise a child as our own. I know it."
Yuzuki sniffled a bit, uncertainly. Just because she'd managed to make him love her didn't mean anything to their parenting skills. But looking at him... he looked like he believed it. His face was eager, full of positivity. She blinked at him, calmer now, her own hands coming up and resting on his wrists, though they still shook. He believed they would be good parents? A Hollow and emotionally lame shinigami? Together? their children... Oh god... what were her children going to be?
It didn't matter though... she stared at him quietly. WHy was she so scared anyways? Why did terror race through her when she thought about the fact that a little life was growing inside of her? Of failure. It would get hurt. She would hurt it... From the moment Hitomi had opened her big fat old wrinkly mouth, Yuzuki had been terrified that she was going to end up hurting it. And that... that meant she DIDN'T want to hurt it, right? It meant... it meant she was actually okay with it.
She fought with these rationalizations in her mind, quietly, staring, searching Set's face for some kind of wavering, some kind of falter. He...he said he wanted to start this family with her. And only her. She stepped forward, needing more than his hands around her face, she buried her face into his chest.
She was terrified, her body still shook. But after a moment she was able to look up at him, her own shaking, doubtful, scared voice echoing his own.
"We can do it together. As long as its with you...I can do it. I...I think I want it too." She said faintly
and it was then that Hideki and Hitomo fell through the door, landing in a heap.
"That's the spirit Yuzuki-chan!" Hitomi said, shamelessly as she struggled to her feet , and Hideki helped his mother up, nodding, smiling.

♕♛ ~Months Later~
Time ticked by, and many occurrences happened. Yuzuki had begun to swell a bit with child, and both her and Set have taken every possible step to make sure their child came out healthy. The Soul Society had apparently fallen, and the Quincy contacted both Set and Yuzuki to inform them. Many had died, but plenty of their friends had survived as well. There was a bit of mourning, but time continued to pass, the couples happiness grew continuously as their baby was getting closer and closer.
Until a letter arrived for Set, from Youroka Daisetsu.
When he read it, the contents of the letter weighed heavily on Set's mind for awhile. It spoke of her and her true feelings for him, which he was never aware of. She mentioned what it was like, knowing she was about to die, and told him how it felt for her as an arrancar. She said she wanted her soul to be free so she could come back, but spoke that it wouldn't be fair, as she denied many souls that right. Her goodbye weighed on his heart and mind. She was a great friend and would be missed.
Set opened his eyes. He had passed out at his desk again, research notes everywhere on shinigami and arrancar physics. He found out the only way to do it, to change himself, but just didn't know how to ask Yuzuki about it.... She needed to stab him in the chest with her zanpakuto and purify him.
Getting up from his desk, he sighed. He had waited long enough. Moving up the stairs, he opened the door to the bedroom they shared. It was still pretty early. She would not have been asleep yet. "Yuzuki.. He'd speak softly, looking to her eyes. "I have a favor to ask you, and I know you're not going to like it." His eyes looked to her zanpakuto.
A pause was in the room. He was sure his heartbeat could he heard. "I need you to perform the hollow cleansing ritual on me. I want you to purify me, Yuzuki."

Clock time down this empty street all alone.. I’ve never given it up this way
Please don't say goodbye... ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉ ❦Captain of Division 8 - Stronghearted Guardian❦
Days turned into weeks, and weeks had turned into months. Yuzuki was about eight months pregnant now, and their life had been peaceful... up until a few weeks ago. The letter he'd gotten from someone she considered a sister disturbed her. She'd read it time and time again, unable to wrap her mind around it.
The quincy had come knocking at their door and Yuzuki had been prepared for war, three months ago, five months pregnant, zanpakuto in hand. But they'd wanted peace - and talks. Seiretei destroyed... everyone who was there dead. Something about a wondering soul realm. The quincy were desperate - and it would explain why Set and Yuzuki had had to fight an astonishing amount of hollows lately... Set stayed up late most nights, at his desk looking for an answer to something. Most days he was gone - either at his human job or in the soul society helping rebuild. She and he had some how been appointed leaders of the Seireitei's rebuild. She wanted to help but Set absolutely would not hear of it when she breached the seventh month mark. She'd been helping find people, surviving rukon's people, establishing a reconnection. Some of the people she'd known had survived the initial attack. She honestly could not fathom ...
Tystra...gone. Tadashii...gone. Luna and Youroka...gone.... Did Wasure and Takeshi make it out? What about her squadmates? What about her brother Oday? Often she lost sleep but she made sure not to show Set. She still went to work at the school, though she was not doing much dancing or martial arts lately, she established politics with the quincy, and began to take on the handle of being a part of the new Central 46.
Tonight was no different. She sat in her bed, looking over reports , wishing her lover was closer to her. As if on que, after the fiftieth sigh, longing for Set to come to bed for once, he appeared in the room. A little thread of hope dared rise up in her stomach, but the expression on his face did not do much good for her. He'd not even had time to find out about her...condition.
He'd been working, and busy - A few weeks ago she'd gone for an ultra sound. Twins. One boy. One girl. Yuzuki hadn't wanted to tell him at just ANY time. She wanted to catch him at a good time... a time where he would be able, or at least have the compulsion to stop and celebrate with her.
He said her name, the soft tone, the eye contact. She put her paper work aside, dread crossing her features. What now...? A favor? One she wouldn't like. He wasn't approaching her, his eyes flicking to Estrakulius.
"I need you to perfrom the hollow cleaning ritual on me. I want you to purify me Yuzuki."
Yuzuki looked up at him, and stared, silent for a moment. Did he understand the risks...? What the HELL? During a time like this? What was he THINKING? She gathered every paper around her, and put them neatly on the night stand before standing up, her white night gown almost sheer enough to see through.
"I'm sorry...I don't think I heard you right." She said as she approached him, her face hard, her brown eyes glittering in anger. "What the HELL did you just say to me? Because, I swear, I thought I heard you tell me to cleanse you. WHICH! Haha, wouldn't make sense right? with all the risks?"

♕♛ He understood the risks, knew what he had to lose, but there was a reason. "It's exactly what I said, Yuzuki." He spoke, a bit of guilt and grief gripping him. He knew how she was lately. Longing for more time. The past few weeks though..."Do you know how many souls are inside of me? Thousands. Not just hundreds. You've seen the soul society. You know what we need. If we do this...If we do this then we can actually have a chance to bring things back to normal." The soul society would be filled with thousands of new souls. "Then there's...Not just the risks of me losing my life here. I can hurt you, Yuzuki. I can hurt you and our child. If I'm the only arrancar in this new society, how long do you think it'll take before I turn feral? Before I betray everyone. I'd rather die than do anything to you or our child, so if dying is the risk I have to take to make sure it never happens, so be it.
" His golden eyes were sad. "Yuzuki, I care about you more than anyone in the world. I don't want you to see me in that kind of light."
He moved close, pressing his hands at her sides, moving them to rub her stomach affectionately. "I wouldn't want our child to see me like that either. When it sees me for the first time, I want him or her to see me smiling, not tearing myself apart." He gave a weak, sad smile then. "Besides, I won't die, sweetheart. You know that. I swore to you that I wouldn't leave, right? I'll hold onto my soul. I won't let it slip from me. I have too much to fight for. Too much to live for."

She stared at him, her body beginning to shake as he confirmed what she heard. No. She wouldn't do it. She would NOT do it. She didn't give a damn... She turned away as he began to talk about filling the soul society again, refilling the soul cycle. The world was now off balance, Quincy, not all of them knew yet how to purify the hollows plaguing the world without killing them. And she..well she was enormous. Twice the size of a woman pregnant... not to mention Yuzuki was a tiny woman anyways. Her small body could not move very well with two little mini-set-yuzuki's in it. Set began to talk about hurting her and she rolled her eyes, turning back to him.
Yeah right. Like he'd actually do that! He'd never turn feral! She shook her head vigorously, stubbornly, the frustrated held back yell held within her. Then he gave that weak promise that he wouldn't leave. That he'd hold on to his soul. He could not promise her that!
She looked down as he touched her ballooned belly. She understood it was out of love he was doing this... and out of some strange sense of duty that Arrancar's should have never felt in the first place. She looked up at him, her eyes filling with tears as she stared at him, angrily.
"Our children. Not child." She suddenly snapped at him. "You don't want him and her seeing you in a state I dont' think you'd ever actually go into? but you'd risk me having to raise them by myself, no father. I couldn't! You said we'd do this together! I only have faith that I can do this because of you!" Her voice was accusatory as she spoke to him.

♕♛ "I-!! Whatever he was going to say was caught off at the mention of children...a boy and a girl. They were having twins? His breath was caught in his throat, and her accusing words hit hard. Still. He was dead set on what he wanted to do. "Yuzuki, I won't allow myself to hurt you, and that's that. Nor will I hurt these kids. I said I wouldn't die, and I've never failed on that promise. You have faith that we can raise these kids because of me, you have to believe that I have faith that I'll live because of you.
"I have a strong soul, Yuzuki. I'm powerful, and I'm determined to live no matter what because I have you. Because I love you. Because you're all I'll ever need, Yuzuki." All words that he'd spoken before, and each one true. "Please. Trust me. I want to be a father to these kids. I want to be your lover. But at the same time I want to be myself. I don't want to lose you because of something that can be resolved now."

Yuzuki hated it. Confessing love for her that was so strong it would prevent him from dying? She had other fears. What if he changed when she cleanse him? Wouldn't his entire persona be....different? She sat there, shaking in front of him. She knew she wouldn't be able to change his mind. She could always refuse to do it... but he would just go to the Soul Society and find someone else too. She knew that much about him. She turned and went to the corner, and grabbed her zanpakuto - she'd managed to get the tools to manifest it in person. Slipping in and out of the gigai was now impossible due to the fact that the souls of her children kept her bound to it.
She picked up Estrakulius and drew him from his sheath, and walked up to Set once more, her hands shaking slightly as she raised him, her hands positiong themselves on the hilt, and she turned to her side, aiming him. She was so angry...upset... Her elbow raised above her head, as one hand was upside down, the other, right side up, the very tip of her Zanpakuto pressed against his chest. She stayed there, silent, and eerily still as she looked down at the floor.
"You know. Not once have I ever said it out loud to you. At least, not while you were awake. Time and time again you've told me you've loved me. And each time I smile, and say nothing in return. Sometimes...sometimes I say it to you while I know you're fast asleep and cannot hear it. I... didn't want to say it. Not because...not because I don't. But that word. I've come to treasure it so much. It's used so lightly in every world, in every corner where human intelligence is... flung around like a common vowel. So I kept it... I kept it so that the first time I could say it back to you could mean something extra special. So that the first time I said it to you, I could feel how completely right it is for me to say it to you. But now...now I'm pointing my god damn sword at you. And regardless, you may not be able to stay with me. No matter how you try some things you just can't control." Her voice cracked, her long hair had been in her face as she looked down at the floor.
After taking a ragged breath, she looked up at him, a single tear falling, she was clearly trying very hard not to break down. The fear was in her eyes - god she was scared. "So...I'll tell you now. I love you too Yumaki Set Kuraishi. I love you, with every fiber of my heart and soul. With every heart beat of both of our children, with every single molecule and particle of my small existence. I love you. And... and if you don't live through this...I'm going to be SO mad at you that you'll feel it from where ever you end up!" With this, a little choked sob escaped her, and she pressed the blade into his chest, closing her eyes.
Never before had the sinking of a blade into an Arrancar or hollow bothered her. But this... this was not just any Arrancar or hollow. This was the father of her children, and her heart shattered in her chest as she forced herself to watch him, her body trembling, as she delved deep within her, pulling on her reishi, channelling it.
She honestly didn't believe in prayer - but she prayed. She prayed as hard as anyone could pray, as her entire body shook with the effort it took to get her blade all the way through his chest, before yanking it, out, her purple energy filling the room as she did so.

♕♛ Set closed his eyes as the blade pierced his chest, her words running through him every second. He was happy. Even if he did here he'd die complete. Though...he wouldn't. He couldn't. It took a few seconds after Yuzuki pulled back her blade, leaving Set to almost topple forwards as blood dripped from his chest, his golden eyes now open. It dripped down his white shirt, flooding it with crimson.
His vision was blurring, and it seemed like it didn't work, but...there was a rising feeling coming from him. He didn't know how to explain it. Like his body was ascending and becoming lighter. His vision filled with nothing but white, then gold, and then it happened.
It was a beautiful sight really. From the exit wound shot thousands and thousands of golden and white orbs that shout out through the ceiling and up to the Soul Cycle. A sound of tremendous pain left him, though his body...felt glorious after. The tearing out of his very being hurt, but after each soul left he felt better and better. Stronger. That was till the last soul came. Overcoming even Yuzuki's purple reiatsu was a humongous gold light coming from him body. His soul, struggling to get out. Letting out a yell, he gripped at the wound on his chest, pulling at the light, pulling it back into his body. He wouldn't die. No. He wouldn't lose his soul, not after all this.
Thoughts of Akane, Youroka, Kahlua, Serah, Kira, Kodokuna, Katey, and many others ran through him. Those that died or disappeared from his life all together. Then came Yuzuki, her smile, telling him she loved him. The thought of the two babies inside of her. His children. His love. His family. He always told Noct to find someone else to continue the name of Kuraishi, that it was just a dead name, but now it was something different.
It all gave him the strength to pull his soul back into his body, and then letting out one more grunt, his spiritual pressure left in a huge burst. His extended hands now held something. A nodachi, large. It was a shinigami weapon. But...at the same time, tied to his arm by a loose thread was....a mask. He...He had changed into something else.
Falling to his knees, he touched his chest. The spot was no longer bleeding. He'd done it. Looking to his lover, he'd just smile, smile as he dropped to the floor with a thud.
your life is like an ocean
I want to dive in naked
Lose myself in your depths
I want to be with you
To find myself in the best of dreams
Your love feels like trumpets

It’s like you don’t even own what you’re selling me
Clock time down this empty street all alone.. I’ve never given it up this way
Please don't say goodbye... ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉▉ ❦Captain of Division 8 - Stronghearted Guardian❦
Yuzuki had stumbled back as the souls began to pour from Set. Her eyes grew wide...tears slowing down her cheeks. How many souls... how many souls had she just freed? Her heart beat quickened, as she watched. It was hard to comprehend... Set was right. There were so many... so very many souls inside of him. She looked at the Arrancar she loved as he began to struggle with his own soul. She didn't even realize she'd begun holding her breath, silently begging. It seemed to last forever but suddenly, another blast of spiritual pressure and Yuzuki was thrown back against the wall, and the air she'd been holding in was forced out. Looking up at Set she blinked...
He was holding a nodachi now...completely different from his original weapon... and to his arm a mask... "How...how? Vizard...? She asked nonplussed, and confused. He simply smiled at her, a triumphant little sweet smile, as if it had been the easiest thing, before he fell.
Yuzuki scrambled - and she nearly screamed in frustration when her large pregnant body would not move as fast as she was used too. Had she not been so... so.... GINORMOUS she could have been there to catch him. She shook him, fear racing through her.
"Set? SET?" Yuzuki whimpered worriedly, the tears now stemmed from flowing as she tried to tend to the man she'd just confessed her love for.

┌─────────────────────┐♱ ♱ ♱ Set Kuraishi ♱ ♱ ♱└─────────────────────┘ your life is like a mountain
And your heart is like a church
With wide open doors
And to be with you
Is to find myself in the best of dreams
♕♛ He looked up at his girlfriend, his hand placed to her stomach. Set was exhausted, that was obvious, but he was happy. So overjoyed to still be with her. "Stop crying so much." He'd say, and before he himself, Set, the new Head Captain of the soul society could actually let tears fall, he leaned up and kissed her lips, passionately, full of life.
~ One month later ~
A lot had happened. They went back to spending every night together, falling asleep close to each other, saying "I love you" to each other before slipping into sleep. They had grown remarkably closer, and Set had not changed a bit.
Well, that wasn't true. He was powerful. So much more than before. His spiritual power was vast after the weight of ten thousand souls was lifted from him. He was a vizard now as well. It felt odd, having a zanpakuto that was an asauchi, and...a zanpakuto spirit. An inner world where he could relax. He still contained his hollow presence though. That would never change. Neither would his personality and love for his family.
Set and Yuzuki though were about to approach a new chapter. While going grocery shopping, Yuzuki's water broke. It was time. His children were going to be born. Their family. Set didn't know what the hell to do as his wife groaned in pain and shrieked in fear. Some neighborly people offered to direct him to the nearest hospital though.
Now Set sat down as Yuzuki went into labor. God she was loud. He could only imagine the pain. Probably worse than getting stabbed in the chest and having thousands of souls ripped out of you. "I guess now would not be the greatest time to decide on their names, huh?" He asked, with a nervous smile and in blue scrubs as he held her hand, trying to lighten the situation with humor. It probably wasn't working. The doctor guided her through it, but he blanked her out completely. That lady was the last thing on his mind. Right now all he could think of was the subtle breaths turned wines of pain, then the thought of their children. God he wanted to see them so badly.
your life is like an ocean
I want to dive in naked
Lose myself in your depths
I want to be with you

Pain. It seared through her like a hot branding stick . It was the worst pain she had ever felt. Well... almost. The last few hours had been a blur, Set had panicked unsure of what to do. Now finally she was here in the hospital, Set dressed in a delivery scrubs, and a midwife coach her through rhe contraction.
"Come on Yuzuki breath!" She said for the thousandth time. Yuzuki was gonna breathe her ib the face. After a final painful grunt the first child came out. He had a healthy pair of lungs that he'd decided to put ti good use. They showed him to Yuzuki. She reached for him weakly before whisking him away to clean him up. More pain. . And after nearly 13 hours of hard labor Yuzuki held in her ams her children, both suckling gently at her breasts hungrily.
It had been strange at first but the nurses showed her how to hold them. And it helped that Set was here helping her do it too. She stared down in wonder at their children, quiet and reserved for a long time. It would've been almost impossible to get Yuzuki to respond to him. Finally after a while she allowed herself to be separated from one of the children so that her lover could have a turn.
Look what we made... she told him, visibly swallowing back tears. She had her Doubs but.. everything was right for now. Carefully she brushed her fingers against the face of her sleeping son. We should have agreed on names weeks ago.
