"The Demon Lord's Daughter" • Bleach x Tensura

Ichigo howled in pain as she collapsed when reuniting with her injured friends from that battle against Aizen.

"Shit! This hurts!" she gasped out. "A-am I gonna die? Is this why...Zangetsu didn't want me to use it?"

What I wanted to protect...was YOU!

They knew...and for the sake of winning against Aizen, to protect Karakura Town from him and keep him away from the Soul King, something had to be done.

When Ichigo fought against Zangetsu, she felt her bitterness. Her hatred against what she protects. Her loneliness.

Zangetsu hated the shinigami for making her risk herself for them. Their problems were never hers to begin with. But since she and her family would be dragged into it, she made it her business.

If so, why didn't Isshin do Mugetsu?

Why have Ichigo do it?

Was their question of anger.

That was what she 'heard' before she accepted the blade through her heart.

"I'm losing my powers now...because I used it all up." she thought. "But I never dreamed it would hurt so much! This is so painful! It feels like my soul's being torn apart as I'm losing my powers!"

"I wonder if everyone's OK now that it's all over...I'm so tired." Ichigo thought as her body continued its throes of pain. "If I was born into a world where authorities actually do something, would Zangetsu be happy? They hated the shinigami for what they get me into. The only good thing about it in their opinion, was I'm strong enough to live through that. If I reincarnate, it should be a world without everything they hate."

"Come to think of it, yeah, I'm stupid." Ichigo thought bitterly as her life flashed before her eyes. "Mom's death was because of me. By meeting Rukia I got myself and my friends into all this. My name...I pretty much done goofed because I tried to live up to it."

The battles they get into was not their problems to begin with.

She realized that too late.

She sorrowfully regretted what she got her friends into, but she can never say sorry now.

Her death wouldn't be enough to make up for it all.

"If only I was smarter and not hot-headed, none of this would have happened." she thought. "But because dad's a shinigami to begin with, I'll get dragged into it later anyway. Maybe when things got this shitty and by then its too late anyway. Things would be a lot worse though." Ichigo thought as she imagined a possible future when at the time her father restored his powers, she would get stronger by influence later in life, making him decide to train her. It's inevitable she would become a Shinigami anyway and all powers she has. The difference being she is not trained when Aizen goes god-complex she would die for sure.

Somewhere within them as Ichigo was suffering her losses...

'Oi, do you hear that?' Zangetsu asked Old Man. They've been hearing a mechanically toneless woman's voice speak for quite some time now.

'Mm. Someone out there is giving Ichigo skills based on her thoughts.' said Old Man as they, being a part of Ichigo, could hear her thoughts.

'She finally understood where we're getting at, but too late.' said Zangetsu bitterly.

'But in a way, she was right...even if she didn't get involved months ago...Aizen still gets the Hogyoku...Ichigo would still be dragged into war by force when she sees her father fight and hears our voices to give her power to fight. But even if she gets us, she has no training whatsoever. She would die.'

'So in the end, no fucking difference!' Zangetsu spat in vexation. 'She still dies!'

'For now, let's make requests too. That voice seems to respond to Ichigo's wishes.' Old Man urged.

Zangetsu made wishes too before Ichigo died...

It happened when Rimuru Tempest awoke from his evolutionary slumber upon evolving into a Demon Lord.

He had just greeted everyone as they knelt before him.

But its not over for him yet.

A pulse of power burst from within him.

'U-ugh...!'

'Rimuru-sama?!' Shion gasped out as Rimuru became his human form and seemed to be in pain, clutching his stomach.

'Rimuru-sama, what's wrong?!' NOW everyone panicked worriedly. What on earth, can affect him now?!

"Great Sage, what's going on?!" Rimuru wheezed as he felt really sick and pain in the stomach. He was a train wreck of all pregnancy symptoms any mother in the world would pity him.

/Notice: a Reincarnator from the same world is being reborn as your child. You're pregnant with her now./

"WHAT?! PREGNANT?! HOW?!" he never kissed nor dated anyone nor did the bedroom tango with anybody! What the fuck?!

/Alert: Development is at a high-speed rate. Labor will be in ten seconds./ Raphael also took action, informing the newcomer on what she needs to know.

As Raphael spoke as Rimuru was unaware his skill evolved, he howled in pain as his stomach grew bigger, tearing his shirt up that his bulging stomach separated from him into what looks like a jelly egg, leaving him exhausted.

'RIMURU-SAMA!'

'D-did he...just lay an egg?' Gobta stammered shakily.

Yes, he did just that, they all thought, shell-shocked at what they just witnessed.

'That can't be, slimes are Genderless!' Ellen cried. 'He has no parts, he just identifies as boy for convenience!'

'Well, we tend to do that...' said Noir as he diagnosed Rimuru with his magic. 'Master is OK. But his power led him to conceive his own offspring...but such an instantaneous, hyper-speed pregnancy took a toll on him not to mention it was out of his control, he didn't see this coming.' he said. 'There's a reason females take time in pregnancy. The pregnancy symptoms are terrible for all women.' he told them. 'And he had what's supposed to be a year in a span of seconds. So...his pregnancy symptoms are a hundred times worse as what should have been experienced in several months, got compressed making things worse for him.'

'Is he alright now? Does he need a potion?' Vesta asked him, already a potion in hand.

'None. He has no physical ails and this is something potions cannot cure.' Noir shook his head. Rimuru isn't injured, just exhausted, and extremely nauseous he fainted.

'G-guys! The baby!' Grucius cried as they could now see an infant's silhouette in the egg...that's growing a tad too fast.

They waited nervously as the baby went from child...to adolescent...to adult...before the slime egg melted and the 'child' that turned out to be a DAUGHTER, is unconscious.

She has the same milky-fair skin as her father as well as the silvery-blue hair. Curled up like an infant in the womb.

Shuna quickly took off her outer robe and covered the daughter in it.

'N-now what?'

'We put them to bed, duh!'

Thus Tempest got anxious again.

Dwargon...

'WHAT DID YOU SAY?!' King Gazel howled as Vesta contacted him about the incident. 'Rimuru gave birth after waking up?!'

Becoming a Demon Lord aside to avenge and revive the slain, there was this, too?!

/Y-yes. Everyone is deeply concerned as he was pregnant and gave labor without warning in a matter of seconds...the unknown majin who was here said so. And to everyone's knowledge, Rimuru-sama has no partner as he was a male-identifying genderless slime to begin with...we have no idea how he got pregnant to begin with. We put parent and child in bed, now./ Vesta stammered out.

'I'm paying a visit!'

/Yes sire. We shall get a room ready!/
