Author's Note: I came up with this idea after I saw the last episode in season 15 of Bleach and it had to come out.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Twenty years have passed since Ichigo Kurosaki lost his soul reaper powers and said goodbye to his soul reaper friends and he now lives in Tokyo, Japan with his wife Orihime, their seven year old son Hiroyuki, who has spiky hair just like his father's but the color is like his mother's and his eyes are just like his father's, and their seven year old daughter Hoshiko, who has long, golden-silvery hair and bright green eyes. After Ichigo graduated from Karakura High School, he decided to become a doctor and hopefully own his own clinic just like his father, but right now he is working in a hospital in Tokyo.

It was nighttime and he had just tucked in his son and while he was staring at him drift off to sleep he came to realize he missed his home and his old friends. Recently, he had become aware that his powers were returning because he could sense spirits again and his wife, Orihime, could sense that he had spiritual pressure again. While he was walking past his daughter's room the floor creaked softly and he gasped, afraid that he might have woken her up. He looked inside her room and saw that she was asleep and sighed in relief, but just as he was about to leave he heard a soft voice say, "Daddy?"

He looked behind him and saw that his daughter, Hoshiko, was sitting up in her bed and rubbing her eyes. He sighed and walked over to her and whispered, "Shh...now go back to sleep, little one."

"But I can't sleep daddy. Can't you tell me a story?" Hoshiko complained.

"Alright, I guess can. What kind of story would you like?" He asked.

"How about those friends of yours that I heard you and mommy talking about?" She said starry eyed and clasped her hands in front of her, almost as if she begging.

He was amazed that she knew about that because he and Orihime had talked about that when they both realized that his spiritual pressure was returning, but as far as he was aware was that Hoshiko had been playing outside with her friends, her brother, and her brother's friends when they had talked about that. But him and Orihime decided that out of the two of them, Hoshiko was the smartest and apparently had really good hearing, so he replied, "Alright, but after this you have to go to sleep."

"Okay daddy, but with all the details of how you met them," she said smiling, making her big, green eyes sparkle.

After she said that, he began to wonder how much she knew because it sounded like she already knew a lot, so he began with when and how he first met Rukia Kuchiki, then when he battled and fought with Uryu Ishida and wounded a monster, but he was stopped after he told her about how he met and fought Rukia's friend, Lieutenant Renji Abarai and her brother, Captain Byakuya Kuchiki. "Daddy, were your friends magic users?"

"No, but I'll answer your questions...," but he was interrupted by Hoshiko again.

"But daddy, please?" She said making her puppy eyes that no one could refuse.

"Alright and no they aren't magic users, they're Soul Reapers."

"Soul reapers? What's a soul reaper?" She asked, confused.

"Soul reapers are beings that fight monsters known as Hollows and perform konsos on souls that just died. And before you ask what a Hollow is, they are souls that have been left alone for too long and have become corrupted," he said.

"So you had two friends that weren't human," she said.

"Two?" He questioned.

"Yeah, that boy you talked about," she said smiling.

"On no, Uryu is a human. Uryu is a Quincy. Quincies use their spiritual power to form a bow to destroy Hollows."

"Oh, but how do you know all this stuff? Do you have powers too, daddy?" She exclaimed.

"I used too," not mentioning that his powers were returning, "But I used all my power to help the Soul Society defeat one of their own," he explained.

"What's the Soul Society?" She said.

"The Soul Society is the place where souls go after they die and the Seireitei, which is in the middle of the Soul Society, is where the soul reapers live," he explained.

"So you're a hero," she exclaimed.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. Now go to sleep, Hoshiko. If you want I could tell you more tomorrow night?" He said.

"Okay daddy, goodnight," she said yawning.

"Goodnight my little star child," he said while tucking her in and giving her a kiss on her forehead.

He left the room and closed the door quietly and went downstairs into the living room to see his wife, Orihime, sitting on the couch reading a book and she said without looking from her book, "You were up there for awhile. Were they having trouble sleeping?"

"No, the floor creaked outside Hoshiko's room and it woke her up and she asked me to tell her about our soul reaper friends," He said coolly.

"I see. I really do miss them," she said teary eyed.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I miss Rukia's drawings," he said, and both he and Orihime were laughing the rest of the evening.

End Note: The beginning chapters might be a little slow because I have to set up the plot by introducing the characters and such, but hopefully soon there'll be some action in it.

Review if you liked it and thank you for taking the time to read my story.
