Steam clouded the bathroom as the hot water poured down the teens back in the small confines of the bathroom. The teen ducked his head under the water to finish washing out his hair, as the water rushed over his scalp and added extra weight to his hair he leaned forward and rested his head on the cool tiles of the wall enjoying the change in temperature slowly he allowed his eyes to close. Turning off the water he stepped out of the shower and took the towel he'd prepared and left out on the sink, drying off his drenched skin. After slipping on a shirt and a pair of loose shorts he stepped outside the room and slowly started making his way down the steps quietly, the occasional sound of his feet drowned out by the T.V downstairs. The teen smiled and was about to announce his presence to his napping family members when the metallic smell of blood flooded his nose almost forcing him to gag. The teen poked his head further out from the stair well and barely kept from yelling his horror and emotional pain, his father was on the floor eyes opened unblinking. His mother was nowhere to be seen but his youngest sister, Yuzu, was on the couch, shirt opened and chest hardly moving. He couldn't find his other sister anywhere and he was about to risk running to Yuzu when there was a loud clatter from the kitchen and a light chuckle.
"Gin, you should be more careful in other people's houses," a man's baritone voice drifted to the teen resting on the stairs.
"I wouldn't have this problem if people left their stuff in easier to access places," another man's voice drifted to the teen's ears. A few moments after that his other sister's scream came from the upstairs bedroom.
"Aizen seems to be having fun," the first voice commented.
"And I'm stuck lookin' through pots," the other, Gin, responded bitterly. There were footsteps that came after his comment and the teen got a good look at an African man with blinders over his eyes.
"You enjoyed killing the father," the man standing in front of the teen called to the one called Gin who was, from the sounds of the pots being moved around, looking through the kitchen for valuables.
"Yeah, if the brother was home I would have enjoyed killin' him too but he's over at his friends," Gin continued to complain from the kitchen. Taking a silent breath the teen silently slipped behind the African man and behind the couch his sister was laying on, struggling for air. A few moments after another man came down the stairs and Ichigo found himself giving silent thanks to the sky that he moved out of the stairway. The man was fairly tall with wavy brown hair and was probably the man the others were referring to as Aizen.
"Have you found it yet," the man standing where Ichigo squatted mere moments before asked.
"NO! I AIN'T," Gin shouted from the kitchen furiously.
"Do try to keep your voice down, unlike you I have no desire to be caught with the bodies in this room and no excuse," the African man stated without emotion as he moved back towards the kitchen.
"Tousen, do try to remember the importance of group work," Aizen said from the stairs with a slight chuckle in his voice as he followed the others to look for whatever was in the kitchen.
Leaning over Ichigo allowed himself become visible and looked at his dad's unmoving body and took a shaky breath. Ichigo then gathered his little sister's body as she still struggled to take breaths and slowly backed up to the front door that hung opened. Ichigo had to stop a few times to make sure he was still moving in the right path and to look at his sister who's blonde hair was almost red from the blood seeping from a cut on her head and the sticky feeling that soaked through his thin shirt and onto his freshly washed body. After what felt like hours he felt a cool breeze run up his spine to show that he was at the door and after staring at the doorway between the kitchen and living room for a few moments and detecting no movement Ichigo turned and sprinted out of the house, adrenalin keeping him from becoming winded or slowing down. Ichigo moved past a few houses to an elderly woman's where he knocked on the door and looked down the street for signs of the people from his house. The door opened to show the worried face of the woman who, the second she caught sight of Yuzu, threw her door opened, yanked Ichigo inside, and promptly slammed the door behind him.
"Are you alright dear?" She asked taking Yuzu from Ichigo's arms and bringing his sister over to her couch. Ichigo didn't respond he just looked around lost before the woman pushed him into an armchair and grabbed a landline phone. She handed it to Ichigo and gave him a look that said 'you better call someone and explain what's going on.' Slowly Ichigo dialed the number for the police and in a shaky voice explained what he had left his house as. Not ten minutes later the sound of sirens sounded as they raced by the house Ichigo and Yuzu were resting in. Ichigo wasn't sure what he expected to happen or if he even expected anything at all but when a sudden explosion rocked the house around him Ichigo jumped and covered his sister's body with his own. Nothing else could be heard for a few minutes and then there was a sharp knock at the door and the woman, Ichigo was too in shock to remember her name, answered the door and allowed some officers into the house and introduced Ichigo and Yuzu to the men. Ichigo didn't pay much attention to what happened after that, he only really remembered them telling him that Karin got out as well by climbing through the bedroom window but they hadn't believed her about what was happened until Ichigo's call came in. There were lights and paramedics coming in and Yuzu being carried away on a stretcher and talk of broken ribs and head trama but nothing really registered in Ichigo's mind for the rest of the evening or the next few days. Not that anyone really noticed or cared.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if I should have even posted this because it seems kinda stupid but I got a cupple pushes to post so your ideas. I'm debating between two endings, one serious and kinda humorus. The other is more morbid with potential humor so tell me what you think. Also I'm fine with whatever pairing you want, review with who you would like and then if I deside to continue I'll show the pairing options you have posted and you can all just review option 1, 2, 3 exc. please review and tell me what you think.
