"Nii-san," Kikiyo yelled as she was running up to her brother, Ichigo Kurosaki, and then hugged his leg.

"Hm," Ichigo asked asked as he looked at his 4-year-old sister, "what is it?"

Kikiyo pointed to a spirit, whish was following her and yelled, "get him away, get him away!"

Ichigo sighed and said, "Kikiyo, he isn't going to hurt you."

"H-he isn't?"

"No, Kikiyo, he isn't."

"O-okay."

"C'mon, it's 10 at night. You should be in bed by now."

Kikiyo nodded, went into her room, and laid down on her bed. Ichigo then closed her bedroom door and went across the hall into his room. About two hours later, Kikiyo quietly walked into Ichigo's room and crawled into his bed, and then hugged him. As Ichigo was still awake, he looked at her and asked, "You can't sleep can you?"

Kikiyo shook her head and said, "That spirit still wont leave me alone."

"Kikiyo, all you have to do is tell him that you want him to leave you alone."

"But I don't want to talk to him."

"I know you don't but-"

Ichigo looked at Kikiyo, seeing as how she had fallen asleep as he had started his last sentence. He patted her short, bright orange hair, smiled, hugged her and fell asleep.

It was 8 in the morning the next day (Saturday), Ichihgo's father had come in to kick Ichigo awake, but then saw the little 4-year-old, Kikiyo, was wrapped in Ichigo's arms, and stopped. He then walked over to Ichigo's bed, shook Ichigo and Kikiyo, amd told them to wake up as he had left the room. Kikiyo woke up as she had felt Ichigo's hair on her face. As she had opened her eyes, she saw that Ichigo's head was right next to hers and that his hair was on her face. She soon felt his hair tickle her under her nose and stated sneezing. "Ichigo," she nearly yelled, "get your hair out of my face!"

Ichigo woke, sat up, and stretched then said, "Sorry about that Kikiyo."

She smiled and hugged him. As soon as he hugged back, they both heard noise coming from Ichigo's sighed, got up, walked over to his closet and opened the door. However, whenever he opened the door, a girl, who looked to be about Ichigo's age, came out. She had purple-ish colored eyes, short black hair that was curled up at the ends with a little strand sticking out and curling by her bangs, and she was wearing flannel pajamas.

Ichigo looked at Kikiyo and said, "Kikiyo, this is…"
