Chapter 1

Kurosaki Ichigo looked up from his newspaper to see his 12-year old

daughter enter the living room. He continued reading his newspaper,

asking, 'How was school, Hisana?'

'Fine'

'Just fine?'

'Yea. Oh! I have a project, I need to write an autobiography and I

need your help.'

Ichigo looked up from his newspaper again, 'Help with what?'

Hisana on a sofa facing the chair her dad was sitting in.

'Well, the first chapter in my auto-biography is going to be about you

and Mum. I'm also planning to write your history down.'

Hisana was startled when her dad's head shot up from his newspaper.

'If you don't mind-' Hisana started.

Ichigo put down his newspaper and called out to his wife, 'Oi!

Midget!' Rukia came out of the kitchen throwing an apple at her

husband's head, 'Don't call me that, idiot!'

Hisana turned to her mum. Hisana had been told (countless times) how

much she resembled her mother. 'Mum, I need to know your history for a

project.' Rukia looked at Ichigo, who shrugged, then sat next to her

daughter, 'what do you want to know?'

'Where were you born?'

'Here, in Karakura.' Ichigo replied.

'Inuzuri.' Ichigo looked at his wife who suddenly started stammering,

'W-what was I talking about? I was born in Edo, I mean Tokyo.'(A/N:

Edo was the old name for Tokyo.)

Hisana questioned them again, 'Race?'

'Shinigami,' Ichigo and Rukia replied.

'Obviously Japanese,' Hisana said without listening, 'wait, Shini-what?'

Ichigo stood up waving his arms and shaking his head, 'Nothing, it's nothing.'

Hisana looked oddly at her parents as her mother joined in on the arm waving.

'Alright, um, when did you two meet?'

Ichigo and Rukia looked at each other. Ichigo scratched his head, 'we

met when...um-' Rukia cut in, 'we met when I moved here, Karakura,

from Tokyo.' Ichigo nodded, 'we met when she moved next door, and then

she attended my school my school and she was in my class.' Hisana

looked oddly at her parents who were both nodding vigorously.
