Chapter one: Of Meetings
Hanatarou jabbed a finger into Ichigo's shoulder. "Ichigo-san, Urahara wants to brief you on something."
Ichigo blinked open brown eyes blearily. He sighed, muttering an affirmative, quickly releasing his Shinigami form from his human body. He slipped out his window, purposefully leaving it open. He used shunpo to get to Urahara's store as quickly as his sluggish legs would carry him. He slid open the door to the front of the store.
"We're in the back, Kurosaki-kun!" Kisuke's voice drifted out from the back.
Ichigo let loose another sigh, shuffling to the back. He opened the door and sat down, cross-legged before surveying the people of the room. Kisuke Urahara himself sat to Ichigo's right, next Yoruichi Shihouin, then Soi Fon, Renji Abarai, Rukia Kuchiki, Hantarou, Ukitake Jyuushirou, Shunsui Kyuuraku, and Hitsugaya Toshirou. Then his eyes drifted to the final figure in the large circle. Issin Kurosaki, in all his shinigami glory, Captain robe bunched around his sitting form.
Ichigo's eyes widened and he spluttered. "D-dad! What the hell are you doing here?"
"Why, I'm here to be briefed, just as you are." Issin replied with uncharacteristic calmness. This situation was far to great for his usual antics.
"You know what I mean." Ichigo snapped harshly, anxious at his father's attitude and appearance.
"I'm a Shinigami, son."
"Obviously."
Issin sighed, taking a deep breath. "I'm a former Captain of the Gotei Thirteen. I abdicated my position after I fell in love with your mother, a human. I'll explain in further detail later. For now, we have to deal with these Arrancar..."
"Right. Urahara?" Ichigo sighed.
"We've had a large number of Arrancar's appearing in the Karakura District, even after the fall of Aizen and the Espada. We are very worried about the situation..."
As Urahara continued to explain the situation, Ichigo's mind drifted, his thoughts racing. His father was a Shinigami Captain? Since when? What happened? Many different forms of these similar thoughts assaulted Ichigo as he stared at his fathers serious face.

AN: Just a little something I thought up. How would you guys like a story? Issin's story, to be specific. From his days in the Academy to his days as Ichigo's father.
Hmm?
Please drop a review or PM. Also, if I do, I'd like(but it's not needed) a beta for it.
