Summary
Ichigo knew that he had just begun the most difficult part of his life, made even more so with his lover and daughter so utterly out of reach. Between university, work, and some spiritual extracurriculars, he didn’t even have time to find some sleep, much less figure out this fatherhood thing. Still, his universe had shifted to revolve around the new star at its center: his son, and the only piece of Rukia he had left.

“Ichika-chan, I didn’t know you had passed the Academy! You must be the youngest graduate yet!”Ichika ran up to her mother, launching herself into her arms. “One day, I will! I’m going to learn lots and get strong and be a shinigami!”
“Oh, should I hold a spot for you here at the Thirteenth then? Or should I talk to your Pops and uncle over at the Sixth?”
“Neither! I’m going to join the Eleventh!”
Rukia exchanged a wry look with her third seat. “Now, there’s a nightmare.”
