vayshti. I never could've done it without you, and if you ever need anything, I would gladly give you kidneys and delicious babies.Setting: This is an AU fic in which there is no Hougyoku - meaning Rukia was able to regain her powers after giving them to Ichigo, and stayed in the living world for six months. With her and Urahara's training, Ichigo became immensely powerful, achieving bankai and protecting the town alongside the legal shinigami. Though after six months, Aizen executed his plan without the Hougyoku and left for Hueco Mundo, leaving Soul Society in chaos. Rukia was beamed up and replaced with a higher ranking officer. Guess who.
A/N: I have many to thank for this achievement: Lee, for the MSN convo that started this whole thing (though you probably don't remember), Helen, for the sex (okay, that sounded wrong), Yael, for the fluff (see, I kept it!), Gel, for existing (and helping with meltdowns), and finally - my beta, for giving it the last gigantic push (kidneys and babies).
