Chapter one

Early morning

"ICHIGO!" Rukia yelled from the kitchen of the Kurosaki household.

"What?" Ichigo asked, a moment later as he stumbled down the stairs, half asleep and into the kitchen, where Rukia was pacing back and forward. "Is there are another Hollow; just give me a minute" he said as he turned around to quickly head back up the stairs. "Damn hollows, you can't get any sleep around here without one showing up" he thought to himself as he stretched his arms into the air.

"There's no Hollow, Baka" Rukia said as she sat down on the chair, and folded her arms across her chest.

"Then why the hell are you calling me at this hour in the morning?" a frustrated Ichigo asked while letting a huge yawn out, than he stared at the petite girl wondering what could be so important that it could not wait until later.

"I going shopping this afternoon and I need your help!" Rukia said with a smile breaking across her face.

Ever since staying in the world of the living, Rukia has been amazed that there are so many different and massive shops here, compared to the Soul Society, where there are only limited places to buy things and one the shopping centers in the world of the living is double the size of the shops in the soul society.

"Shopping? No way in hell!" Ichigo said as he walk slowly for the stairs to go back to his bed and get some sleep like any normal teenager his age would being doing at six thirty in the morning, also sleeping made him forget about that there is a war coming. "That's what she wanted me for shopping" Ichigo thought as he grabbed the railing of the stairs.

"Why not then? It's not like you are doing anything useful today!" Rukia explained angrily. She was right though, he did have nothing to do today unless a hollow showed up, but Renji is still staying at Hat and clogs so he would not mind taking care of it, if she asked him nicely.

"I do have something important to do today and it is called sleep and eat and sleep so more!" Ichigo replied tiredly, as he started to walk slowly up the stairs to go back to his room to go back to sleep. "Anyway until a hollow shows up" He thought bitterly.

"GO-OD MOR-NING ICH-IGO!" his father sang loudly, from the top of the stairs before leaping and heading for his only son with good morning kick. Ichigo dodged his father's attack easily. Isshin hit the ground and then got up quickly and congratulated his son for dodging his surprise attack, but not a moment later, Ichigo punched his child like father in the face.

"It is six thirty in the bloody morning and no normal father, would be attacking their son, when they are half asleep, wait scrap that, no father would attack their son full stop" Ichigo yelled at his father, who was now holding his right hand, to his sore red face.

"Looks like there is nothing more to teach you my son" Isshin said to a pissed off Ichigo.

"You say that every time" The substitute soul reaper yelled and was going to punch his father again.

"Good morning Isshin" Rukia interrupted, which stopped Ichigo from punching his strange father

"Ah good morning Rukia-Chan" Isshin said with a smile, and hurried over to the kitchen counter to get away from his son."What has you up this early?" He asked and then looked over at his son who now thrown himself onto the couch.

"I need Ichigo to go shopping with me this afternoon, to help me get presents for everyone for Christmas" she replied and gave him a small smile.

A big smile came across Isshin's face. "Shopping!" he said joyfully, as he was nearly dancing over to his only son. "Well son, I'm proud of you going shopping with a girl that is not your one of your sisters" he said, as he gave his son a light nudged in the head.

"I'm not going shopping with Rukia!" Ichigo said tiredly, as he hit his father's hand away from him.

"What!" Isshin shirked. "Son you can't let poor innocent Rukia go on her own, be a man" he whispered into Ichigo's ear.

"Dad but-" Ichigo protested, but was interrupted, by his father.

"No buts, you have to go and anyway you can't expect her to carry all the bags on her own, can you? And, because it is Christmas, you don't know who is around, someone could mug her or…"

"Ok, fine I will go if you just shut the hell up, but I'm going back to bed" Ichigo said as he got up from the couch. "And God help me, if someone disturbs me" Ichigo mumbled under his breath.

"Thanks Ichigo" Rukia said with a very satisfied look on her face, as if she knew Isshin would make him ago.

"Hmm" was all Ichigo said, as he dragged himself back up the stairs, to go back to the land of the sleep! "Seriously shopping, there are so many other things; I could be doing with my time then that, now I wish it was a hollow"

"My boy is growing up so fast" Isshin thought happily, as he watched his son go up the stairs, then looked over at Rukia and gave her another smile. "Do you want some breakfast Rukia-Chan you will need energy for your date this afternoon"

"No you got it all wrong, it is not a date he is just going to help me that's all" Rukia said embarrassingly and turned her head to try and hid the blush creeping onto her face.

"Of course, it's not" Isshin said sarcastly, before heading to the fridge to get them both something to eat. "My boy is going on his first date and a pretty girl at that" Isshin thought to himself.

Ichigo barged into his room and planked, himself on his bed and in matter of seconds, after his head hit the pillow he was fast asleep, dreaming of the days before, everything changed.
