Draconic Descendant

(Kyoto: Shadow Side. Night time)

Most people were asleep by now, drifting away to the realms of dreams, while others started their graveyard shifts of the various jobs that kept the city running. Some were able to enjoy time with their loved ones, either in the form of cuddling together while watching a show or getting very intimate with their lovers. Ichigo had engaged in such passions with Yasaka after putting Kunou to bed, but sleep eluded him as Tiamat's request still echoed in his mind. The warmth and softness of her body against his did little to sooth his thoughts.

'Can I have some time to think about this?' He asked the goddess in response to her request to father her newest daughter. One a personal note he was against having children in times of war since that created vulnerabilities that he'd rather not have and it wasn't exactly fair to mother or child to do this before he felt ready. He loved all of his children dearly but his job and position took away much time he could otherwise spend with them, even if he did all he could to create a place where they could grow up in peace. It was a blessing that they had so many they considered family that they never felt alone or too neglected. On the practical side of things, Tiamat made it clear to him that their daughter wouldn't be a helpless infant. That when she is hatched she'd be physically around the same age as most of her siblings but with a blank slate of a mind that would quickly learn and catch up to her siblings. If Tiamat was telling him the truth, she'd be the safest of his children. But was he ready for this as a father?

Ichigo released a sigh as he used Fullbring to gently pull himself away from Yasaka's embrace so as to not disturb her slumber. Once he laid her down and got himself out of the bed, he found a yukata and dressed himself before heading to the balcony in the hopes that the fresh air might clear his thoughts. He took a deep breath of the clean night air and looked up to the sky, weighing the pros and cons along with his own feelings before sighing in frustration and cursing the Khaos Brigade again for the trouble they've caused.

"You're supposed to be in bed. It's past your curfew." He said before looking to his left, finding Ophis wearing black pajamas with pink linings, holding stuffed dragon to her chest.

"Are you still thinking about Tiamat's request?" She asked, tilting her head. "Is it that hard to figure out?"

"From the perspective of a parent, it really is." He waved her to come closer, prompting her to stand next to him before he started patting her head. "In a practical sense there's no downside to doing this, but it's an emotional one and those are always far more complicated.."

"Why?" She asked, looking up with confusion still evident in her eyes.

"Because I worry for them." He started explaining before looking over the city spanning out below him. "I want to be there to watch over and protect them, to see them grow and shield them from dangers they're not ready for, to make sure they follow a good example throughout their lives to become strong and noble people in the future. As the leader of the forces protecting this whole country and the Balance of Souls as a greater whole, my time with them is limited and I worry for them despite any assurances that they'll be safe. Things only got worse with the Khaos Brigade." There was a silence as Ophis processed the Shogun's claims before she jumped onto the railing and started patting Ichigo's head.

"I may not fully understand your problems, but I can understand this. I like your children and want to keep them safe. If you can't be there to protect them, then I will. If you do have more children then I'll protect them as well. After all, that means more people that I can play with." Her expression was stoic but her eyes gleamed in such innocence and excitement that Ichigo couldn't help but smile.

"Starting to sound like a proper big sister." He said picking her up off the railing and setting her back on the floor of the balcony. "Thanks for this Ophis, but I'm going to need to think on it more." He gave a quick kiss to her forehead, idly noting that she seemed to grow taller during her vow, and gave her another head pat. "Now go back to bed little lady." The Dragon God nodded before fading away. 'What is my life now?' Ichigo thought as he questioned how things got to this point. "Something you wanted to add Yasaka?" He asked his Yokai bride as she stepped out onto the balcony, likewise dressed in a yukata.

"Easing the burdens of my lord husband should be the duty of myself and my sister-wives, so don't be afraid to come to us regarding any issue that might be troubling your mind." She claimed as she stood before him, reaching out her hands to gently caress his face. "You don't have to shoulder everything alone. There's no need to fret over everything and act like you're the only one capable of protecting what you love." She said with a smile as she pulled her hands back. "Sometimes I forget how, despite your power suggesting otherwise, you are still so young and reckless regarding your own health."

"Right. I'll go talk with my other wives about this, starting with you. What's your take on this?" He asked as Yasaka took a moment to think.

"I understand your concerns my love, but at the same time you're being rather selfish." She met his gaze again. "Tiamat requested this of you because she believed you would be a great father to her child and she likely has already considered everything that's bothering you. The difference here is that she has enough faith that this daughter will be safe with everything she has now. And lucky her that she can birth a child that we don't have to worry about." She mumbled that last part in frustration while Ichigo smiled with a quick laugh. Yasaka had been wanting a second child for a bit, and then everything got so much busier for both of them.

"Alright." He said before grabbing her yukata and exposing her large breasts to the air. "We'll discuss children when things settle down but in the meantime, let's soothe your tensions." He growled with desire before devouring her lips in a hungry kiss.

(The next morning: Shadow Karakura Spirit School)

It was a quaint building, two stories with a large perimeter as children of all ages made their way inside. Among them were those that appeared as normal humans while others had notable animal features, abnormal skin colors, horns, any Yokai that called the Shadow side of Karakura Town their home. By the entrance of the gate, smiling as she greeted every student that walked by, was the head of the school, Fullbringer Aura Michibane.

"Good morning everyone! Let's have a fun and productive day again today!" She said, wearing a white suit with a blue shirt and a necklace of a crystal ball while holding a binder in her hands with her hair in an asymmetrical bob cut with the left being longer. Aura was an interesting case among the Fullbringers that exist at the time, being a rare second generation Fullbringer. She lost her mother at birth after a Hollow attacked her, prompting her Fullbringer father to obsessively protect her until they could be free of their powers.

He taught her everything he could about literacy, physics, and her own powers, but he also kept her completely isolated in their basement with only him as her sole human interaction. The Fullbring leader at the time thought he found an answer to free them of their Fullbring powers, but it was actually a trap that nearly wiped out the Fullbringers with the survivors going into strict hiding. Aura was trapped in her basement until nearly dying from starvation had awakened her powers to free herself, but her ability to from any attachment was basically non-existent. She was taken in by her maternal relatives but never had anything beyond apathy for the world after losing her father and the slander aimed at him.

She lived her life rather aimlessly until she was approached by the same Shinigami noble that orchestrated the Fullbring massacre years ago and agreed to assist him to destroying world as it was. One day, while waiting for the next stage of their plans, she met up with Yasutora 'Chad' Sado and his Fullbring partners and decided to teach them a few techniques on a whim. Soon after the Quincy War ended she was found again by Chad who offered her a new position among the reformed Gotei. She easily accepted the offer since she wasn't too attached to the original plan anyway, nothing mattered to her. She spent some time continuing to teach the others capable of Fullbring and earn a decent living before Orihime approached her about creating a new school in Shadow Karakura, with her becoming the one in charge. During that time she grew to care for her students and finally attained a specific Fullbring power, one that she swore to use to protect all of her dear charges.

"Hey Aura!" The principal turned to see Esdeath and Bambietta escorting most of the Kurosaki kids. "How's it been going?" Bambi asked the Fullbringer.

"Just fine. Looking forward to another day with my darling students." She answered with a smile, looking down to the kids. "Are you ready for today kids?"

"Yes Michibane-sensei!" The kids responded cheerfully, making her giggle before she turned her attention back to Squad 10 lieutenant and Quincy Sternritter.

"But this is a combination you don't see too often. Usually it's Nel or Senna bringing the kids to school." She noted, getting a shrug from the two sister-wives.

"Ichigo called and said he wanted to meet up and ask something." Bambi told the Fullbringer. "Figured we'd take the kids this time since we wanted to spend more time with them." Esdeath knelt down and smiled to the children. "Now remember to listen to you teachers and behave yourselves. Don't start fights."

"But always finish them!" Yuuichi cheered, getting an elbow from Qin. Esdeath smiled before holding out her arms.

"Now, hugs and kisses before you go!" She ordered, getting one from each as Bambi leaned down to do the same. As Hisana and Abareru were finishing things out, Ichigo appeared through a Garganta with Kunou in his arms.

"Hey kids!" The father greeted with a smile as he set his oldest daughter down. "Principal Michibane, thank you for looking after my children." He said to the Fullbringer with a grateful nod, earning a happy smile from the woman.

"Of course Captain Commander." She said as the bells dinged. "Alright you lot, get to class." She ordered while Kunou got in a quick hug and kiss to her two other mothers before rushing into the building. Yasaka agreed to let Kunou try attending school in Shadow Karakura while Ichigo was taking his week to be with his family as a trial period before making her final decision to let her daughter leave Kyoto for a time, so long as she was brought home each night. "They're in safe hands Kurosaki." Aura reassured as she followed them into the building, leaving Ichigo with two of his wives.

"So, I'm guessing this has something to do with Tiamat's request?" Bambi asked as they started walking down the street.

"Just skipping the hugs and kisses are we?" Ichigo dryly asked as he got between them and took hold of their hands. "I decided to ask all of my wives for their take on it."

"I say do it." The Quincy immediately stated. "If the only real issue is the amount of time you can spend with them then just do what you're doing now; Trust the people under your command to handle the things that don't really require you yourself."

"Every being has a primal desire to breed and leave descendants." Esdeath added. "Even long lived ones like Dragons, Gods, and ourselves knowing that souls can live very long lives. Knowing I have time now is the reason I wanted to wait until I really got comfortable as a Shinigami. Then this Khaos Brigade shit happened." She grumbled out before giving her husband a sweet smile. "Can I handle the torture of the next group of prisoners that we capture?" Ichigo and Bambi then looked to the sadist as they were reminded of her personal hobbies.

"....maybe." Ichigo relented. They were probably going to find someone that deserves it anyway.

(The next night)

"My thoughts?" Gabriel asked as she and Ichigo floated among the clouds of Shadow Karakura. "Is there any reason I should be against a new life being brought into the world?" She tilted her head curiously while Ichigo leaned back on the Reishi platform they were on.

"Just thought I'd ask." He said as he reflected on what all of his wives told him and fiancees told him. Pretty much each one of them was for it for either Tiamat's sake or expanding their family. The only hiccups were with Artemis and Candice for... reasons. He released a sigh as he sat back up and steeled his mind on this choice. "That settles it, I'm going to father another kid and make sure I spend more time with my family even after this week is over."

"Are you really that busy?" Gabriel asked with sad and worried eyes. She quickly became very attached to his children after meeting them, trying hard to be a good future mother... but that led to a number of messes and misunderstandings. Trying too hard too fast. "Do you really think you can handle more children?"

"I'll see if Kisuke can't make some kind of solution for me." Ichigo said, already calculating what was and wasn't necessary for him to personally deal with. "I don't like looking at this from a practical over an emotional angle, but they're right. There's basically no downside to having another child especially since they'll be basically untouchable here."

"So... would you be opposed to having more children if you know they'll be safe?" Gabriel asked in a curious and hopeful tone, prompting a raised eyebrow from the hybrid. "Well, when we get married, then we'll have to make a baby as well, right?" She asked with a completely straight face before clasping her hands in prayer. "Though this union may have been done for political purposes, I swear by my holy father's guidance that I will be a proper wife and mother. And I feel, no... I know that God will show me the way to being a proper mother if I bear a child." She claimed, smiling and shining with a radiant light.

"That sounds like it'd be fun." They heard a mischievous voice say, turning to find Serafall floating next to them. "Can I watch, maybe even join?" She asked, licking her lips as she looked at the hybrid and the Angel. Gabriel jumped to her feet and grasped the Leviathan's hands.

"Oh Serafall, I think it'd be wonderful for us to make Celdia a little brother or sister!" She said with her eyes shining while Serafall felt her previous momentum fade. "But it'll only work with our husband. Kissing you will do nothing." Serafall was about to get offended before she remembered who she was talking to.

"Gabriel, how do you think babies are made?" The Devil asked, making the Angel tilt her head.

"A man and a woman that love each other deeply kiss and their union creates a new soul that grows in the woman's body." She answered, completely seriously while Ichigo and Serafall stared at her in disbelief. "I tried watching over a couple make their first child, but they were wrestling naked for some reason. Uriel took me away and no one was willing to tell me anything about it." The Shinigami and Devil blinked as they tried to comprehend what they were just told. Serafall opened her mouth to say something before Ichigo clapped his hand over it.

"L-let's do the wedding first. Then I'll have you talk it over with..." Ichigo thought for a moment, looked at Serafall who wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. "Literally anyone else." He decided for the sake of peace in Heaven.

(The next day: Devil Capital)

"Any leads yet?" Sirzechs asked as he and Ajuka walked down a hall of the central Devil capital building, often the home of discussions regarding the future of all the Devils that aren't aligned with the Khaos Brigade. The stated intention of this meeting was to discuss new security and investigative measures to be taken so that a repeat of the attempted OSF ambush would not happen again, but the real intention was to expose Ichigo as Hell's champion to see who among the Great King Faction would be willing to switch sides and aid in the investigation regarding the King Pieces.

"Diehauser has two suspects and is following rumors regarding a third." Ajuka answered as they neared the door to the meeting hall. "We'll move on them as soon as we can make sure they disappear convincingly."

"Excellent." The Lucifer opened the door to reveal a room with the assembled heads of the various pillars of the two ruling factions of Devils on one side while Falbium and Serafall were on the opposite side with two more empty seats. "Good, I see everyone decided this was worth their time." Sirzechs smirked as he spied his grandfather, Zekram Bael, among the gathered. He bore an aura anyone would recognize as dignified with black hair and violet eyes in his fine clothes.

"Letting those humans rampage in our territory was too much!" One of the heads yelled out, getting murmurs of agreement. "We should be the ones defending our homes and people!" "We're not so weak that we need others to fight our battles!" "Who do they think they are? Showing us all of that?" "There's no denying though, some of those Shinigami are deserving of such a title." "Serafall! You need to see if you can't find out more and anything we can use!"

"Order." Sirzechs ordered as he slammed his hand on his desk and the resounding clap quieted the rabble. "Ichigo and I learned about the attack from some prisoners taken during the attack on the peace summit and we made an agreement. He'll slaughter our enemies while I focused on making sure as many of our innocent civilians were safe. I agreed to this because I am personally tired of killing my kind. How about, instead of thinking of what we can exploit from them, we actually work toward improving ourselves like some of our youth are doing." He sent a pointed look toward Zekram. "The points of our discussions here today is to review what we can possibly do to prevent another such attack and how we can strengthen our people as a whole."

"To that end we believe we should question Diodora Astaroth, whom we believe to be a key figure in planning this attack." Ajuka said, taking note of all the sneers and confusion that swept among the heads.

"Diodora is dead and we saw him get dragged into Hell. How do you propose we question a damned soul? Or was Sirzechs hiding such a power?" Zekram's son, the standing head of the Bael family asked.

"No. Admittedly, my connection never allowed me to do anything like that. Instead, I've asked Hell's current champion to arrange things." Sirzechs said as a Sitri seal appeared in the center of the room with Ichigo's form appearing, making many of the Devils sneer before realizing what he said.

"You expect us to believe Hell favors a human soul over a proper Devil!?" Bael demanded indignantly. Ichigo said nothing as he pulled out Rensa Seigi, silently activated the spear's Shikai, and tapped the butt of it on the ground. Instantly the Hell Gates appeared in the room and opened, revealing the damned youth dressed in rags and impaled through the chest on a massive golden spike that brought Diodora through the door.

"Thank you Soi-Fon." The Captain Commander said as he grabbed Diodora's head and ripped him off of the metal stinger claw, which receded back into Hell silently. "Listen up shit stain." Ichigo growled as he lifted the Devil up and smacked him until consciousness returned to his eyes. "You're going to answer every question we have and I'll see to your release from your suffering."

"YES! YES, ANYTHING!" Diodora immediately said, frantic hope and panic in his eyes as he turned to the assembled Devils. "What do you want to know?" And thus the Devil spilled his guts, what little he knew about the Old Satan Faction and the Khaos Brigade, why he sided with the terrorists, and the full details of his particular hobby of getting 'holy maidens' excommunicated from the Church before snatching them up to be his sex toys. Asia was meant to be just another conquest but her and Orihime's healing powers made him crave them deeply as useful assets. "There! That's all I know! Now keep your word and free me!" The Devil pleaded to Ichigo who was watching him with a cold fury that put all of the Devils on edge.

"Of course." The Captain Commander said as he pulled out a calligraphy brush. "Sirzechs, I'm going to be taking a... single night from the Netherworld to do this." He said, confusing the room but the Satans assumed this meant something bad and planned on asking him about it later.

"Fine. We've plenty to discuss so meet us at the bar. You know the one." Sirzechs said as they looked over their notes.

(2 Hours Later: Howling Wolf Bar)

"I think you need something stronger." A young man with short black hair and pale gray eyes in a white shirt and black vest and pants said to the two Satans and Soul Reaper at his counter. "Give me a moment. I keep them in the back." He said before walking off. He was known as Slash Dog, real name Tobio Ikuse, and he was one of the stronger agents of the Grigori. Due to that strength and his skill with his Sacred Gear, Azazel helped him open the Howling Wolf Bar as a sort of neutral meeting ground for the adults of the different factions of the alliance.

"This is going to be a tough one to tell Michael." Sirzechs groaned, leaning against the counter and nursing a second bottle of strong Devil alcohol. Ajuka was in a similar state but was being more careful about his liquor and water ratio while Ichigo just used Rune magic to eliminate the alcohol entirely after swallowing it. "And what was that about taking a night?" He asked the Shinigami who just finished his glass.

"I used a special ritual that completely destroyed Diodora's soul. The price is a certain number of nights in about a year to a century from now. Heck, might even be tomorrow night where it won't even be dark out." Ichigo explained, not giving the full details and only what seemed necessary.

"Couldn't I have just done that?" The Lucifer offered, only to get a head shake.

"No. All of our scans suggest that you would've left something to be reincarnated. What I did eliminated that option." The hybrid said as he downed his glass. "Well, I need to go. Got another daughter on the way. Tell him to put it on my tab." He said as he got up and turned around while opening a Garganta. "Whatever it is, please talk to them about it. I have something I have to do." He said before vanishing, leaving Zekram with the two Satans.

"So, what do you want lord Zekram Bael?" Sirzechs asked, turning to face his grandfather.

"Don't think I haven't seen through this little display Sirzechs." The first of the Bael line said. "I know you only revealed that to get my attention. And you have my aid, provided it's within reason of course."

(Back in Tiamat's Roost)

The Goddess was still cradling her egg as she watched the children play in her nest. They've been staying with her as much as they could since they didn't want to miss the egg hatching. Tiamat could see the image of a girl around the same age as the others with long silver hair and golden yellow eyes with two tiny black horns wrapped around her crown in a cute white dress happily playing with the other children. She smiled warmly as she sensed a tear in space, the vision fading while Ichigo came out with Senjumaru Shutara, a pale woman with an asymmetrical hime haircut and a large gold flower hair ornament with a large crescent in a long white Shihakusho with six golden skeletal arms on her back. Following the two of them were the rest of his wives and brides to be.

"So, you've finally made your decision?" Tiamat asked as the hybrid stood in front of her.

"You knew I would say yes in the end, didn't you?" Ichigo accused as he used Fullbring to bring the bowl of Albion's claw powder to him.

"It was another reason why I decided to ask you." She admitted as Ichigo used Blut to make his blood come out of his hand and into the bowl, dying the white powder a deep red. Tiamat took the mixture and scooped out a handful, rubbing it against the eggshell. Everyone watched as the blue shell absorbed the mix and seemed to glow brighter and brighter. Once it was empty and the last trace was absorbed by the egg did it start to crack. The shell broke away as human arms and legs pressed against it from the inside slowly revealing the girl Tiamat foresaw. Dress and all, to Tiamat's surprise.

"Done." Senjumaru said, twirling a large sewing needle between her skeletal fingers and getting the Goddess's look of surprise. "Have you two thought of a name?" Everyone looked to Tiamat, who looked to her newborn daughter staring at her with quiet curiosity.

"Melusine." She said with a smile. There were two pops as everyone looked to Senjumaru, who had triggered a pair of party poppers and was holding two fans that said 'Happy Birthday!'.

"Sometimes I forget how playful you can be." Ichigo said with a deadpan tone and look.

(Next Morning: Garganta)

The rest of yesterday was spent getting Melusine acquainted with her family and new home and true to Tiamat's word, the newborn Dragon absorbed all of the information like a sponge. By the end of the first hour she was talking and able to hold a conversation, becoming more eloquent as time passed. When night fell and everyone went to their respective beds, Ichigo went into the void. The week was nearly over and he had to deal with the incoming Valleys of Screams before they crashed into the core world, closing in as a result of Great Red's presence and actions during the OSF attack earlier. He got to the edge of the event horizon, got into a meditative position, brought out the Hogyoku, and focused.

Minutes passed before massive tendrils of Reishi started flying toward him, each one shooting straight into the Hogyoku as it greedily devoured all of the energy within the offshoot worlds. Some were completely empty, simply barren wastelands that couldn't sustain anything but the hardiest of life. Others were lush and vibrant with plant life, possible gardens for new life had they the chance to grow. Finally there was those that had fully developed civilizations and history, some being stagnant or on the verge of collapsing while others were still developing into their own, those were set aside for later to determine what to do. Soon the threads of Reishi vanished as the incoming threat was ultimately removed and Ichigo no longer needed to absorb any more of the Valleys, but one in particular had his attention.

'It can't be.' He thought in disbelief before flashing to a spot in front of one distant Valley. 'I need to confirm.' He decided before entering the Valley, appearing in the lower atmosphere of the this particular world and releasing a massive Pesquisa pulse as he fell from the sky. 'Ten years but I can still recognize all of you.' He thought as he looked down to a sort of Russian European mixed city before righting himself to look down to the city square with a statue of a man that was familiar to the hybrid. "Looks like you're all doing rather well, eh Akame?" He asked before looking up to a Soul Reaper woman with long black hair and piercing red eyes.

"Hello to you too, Ichigo."

(Omake: Stuff that I forgot to add earlier)

Ophis settling in

It was her first day as the 'prisoner' of the Soul Society, starting it off with Yuuichi barging into her room and dragging her out for breakfast with the family. After the morning meal, Ichigo announced his intent to have some special bonding time with his children, so she took the chance to explore the realm completely on her own. She wandered about until she heard the sounds of combat, leading her straight to the Squad 11 barracks. Inside was a blue haired girl sparring with a bunch of other Shinigami, but one giant of a man noticed her and came over.

He introduced himself as the 'Kenpachi' and that he was Yachiru's father. Like Ichigo, he thanked her for being friends with his daughter and then asked if she didn't mind allowing him to test his strength against her. The terms were simple, he would swing his blade and she could respond however she wanted. She agreed, after some convincing from Unohana and Yachiru, and the game played out. Kenpachi swung his blade, Ophis caught and broke it in her fingers, and then pushed the giant man all the way to the edge of Kirio's domain in the South. When they caught up he was already back up and having breakfast at the Gatonden, which they joined him for. Ophis now loves pancakes and waffles.

After that she continued to wander and followed a scent very similar to Ichinose, ending up near Squad 12. She came across a man in an elaborate outfit and white and black make up that introduced himself as Mayuri Kurotsuchi that offered her some candy, but Kisuke appeared and immediately punched the man unconscious while stealing her treats. Something about them being terrible for consumption and to never trust clowns. He did make up for it by showing her a picture of a man she could get candy from safely. So she went to Shin'o Academy and found Jushiro Ukitake in search of free candy. Her mission was a success and she got a bag of candy, and a picture book that he offered to read to her.

The day was starting to end as she continued her exploration, eventually finding Ichigo and his children as they were finishing up a game of flash tag and started to settle down. Most of them just laying on the grass as they recovered from exerting themselves while Ichigo was content to wait for them, Kunou making herself comfortable resting on one of his legs. The hybrid seemed to notice her and waved her over, patting his other leg in a gesture suggesting she join them. She took him up on that offer and rested her head on his lap, feeling his hand stroke her head. It wasn't the silence of the Dimensional Gap, but she decided that this was something she could get used to for the next hundred years.

Xenovia's Request

Captain Rukia Kurosaki nee Kuchiki was finishing the last of her paperwork when her little sister and lieutenant, Homura Shiba, told her that Xenovia Quarta had come by begging to speak to her. So now here she was with the former Church Exorcist turned Shinigami, sitting across from each other in her office. Rukia looked over the teen and smiled a little, taking note of her growth from the frustrated girl unable to awaken to her power and the now more focused and confident person she is now.

"So, what is it you wanted to speak to me about?" Rukia asked, maintaining an air of dignity as a Captain but still showed her eagerness to help the bright young Soul Reaper.

"Captain Rukia, what can I do to have Commander Kurosaki's baby?" The blue haired girl asked, completely serious in her request. Rukia blinked a few times as she tried to process that sudden question.

"Ah... w-why are you asking that?"

"I've spent my entire life serving what I thought was a higher purpose and denied myself many wants and desires. So now I want to know every experience I can as a woman, having children is at the top of that list." She said with the same serious and determined expression. And then she got a karate chop to her head.

"THEN YOUR LIST IS ALL MESSED UP!" She roared as Xenovia nursed a steaming lump on her head. "The answer isn't a 'no', but you definitely need some work before I properly consider it." The teen nodded with teary eyes.

"Y-yes ma'am. Please educate me."

Shovel talk attempt

Ichigo finished his talk with Gabriel and Serafall regarding Tiamat's request and escorted the two back to their respective rooms, after making absolutely sure Serafall wouldn't do anything to corrupt the pure and innocent mind of the Seraph. Once that was settled he went out for one last walk among the clouds to clear his head. Speaking of his head, he sensed something coming for his and easily caught it by reaching behind his head. Feeling some heat, he turned to find a familiar fiery blond Angel holding a flaming... shovel made of light?

"Uriel, is there a reason you're trying to split my head open?" He asked as the Seraph tried to pull his weapon out of Ichigo's hand.

"Oh, just trying to protect my sister's innocence." He said while making literally no progress in freeing his weapon. "Do me a favor and let me cause trauma induced amnesia so you don't defile her."

"Understandable concern, but there's a flaw in your plan." Ichigo said before Uriel suddenly found himself face down with Ichigo's foot on his back and the hybrid balancing the shovel in his palm. "And that's the flaw."

Why Candice is against it

"No, don't give her a kid. Our twins are the best looking among their siblings and I do not want any demigods one upping my babies in the looks department!" The lightning Quincy stated as she was sketching a new dress.

"...Really? That's what you're going with?" Ichigo asked dryly.

"Should I have any other reason?" She asked, clearly not caring. Ichigo could only sigh.

Why Artemis is against it

"YOU ALREADY HAVE MORE WIVES THAN PEOPLE HAVE FINGERS AND YOU'RE TRYING TO SEDUCE ANOTHER ONE WHILE HAVING TWO MORE FIANCEES!?" She roared out while shaking him by his collar.

"I'm just helping her hatch an egg Artemis." The hybrid calmly stated while being thrown back and forth by the angry Olympian.

"And having a child together! No more kids until you marry all your fiancees!" The Goddess demanded with a pout. Ichigo could, again, only sigh.
