Brown eyes opened looking up at the dark blue ceiling. One closed as the man rubbed his eye. Looking over he could see his son lying on his stomach reading a book. The man honestly couldn't remember the last time he slept alone. The fear of losing his son again bothered him so much that he had to sleep with him. It didn't help that his son also had the same attachment issue. The child was afraid that if he woke up without his father next to him he would go back to his instinct side. What Ketsueki Sukuizu had done still haunted him and he had nightmares due to the experience. Brown and teal eyes met making the man smile, "Hey kid, want to go out to eat today for breakfast?"
"I'm okay with that." The child replied closing the book he had been reading. His teal eyes looked troubled bothering his father.
"Was is the same nightmare Toshiro?" Kensei rolled to his side to look at his son looking away from him.
The white haired child played with the book cover, "Yes, but it was worse." Teal eyes closed trying to block he image, "He made me kill you this time." He covered his eyes, "There was so much blood. It was staining the ground. He laughed at me as I cried."
Kensei pulled Toshiro to his chest, "He's not going to come back. I won't let him take you from me."
"I don't want to hurt the people I love." Toshiro griped his father's shirt, "He made me hurt Hinamori and the others. He wanted to kill you and I felt helpless like I couldn't do anything to stop him. I can't do this without you."
"And you won't. I will be with you every step of the way. You will get past your demons that haunt you. I swear."

Ryuu looked up from the paper he was reading and at his son. He smiled when he saw the look on his face, "What are you doing?"
Akira continued to smile like the trouble maker he was, "What makes you think I'm up to something?" The dragon mythical hollow raised an eyebrow causing the teen to laugh, "I was going to go get Toshiro so we could go find a fun activity to do together."
"Wait till he's down on his own time. He and Kensei need each other right now. You know the mornings are the hardest on them." The griffin pouted and sat next to him looking at the paper curiously, "This is from Soul Society. We are trying to work out a truce that works for both sides. The last thing either side needs is a fight. There would be much blood shed."
Akira nodded, "Yeah, we are lucky that we had a common enemy the last time." He leaned against his dad's arm, "How's the truce coming along?"
"Well enough. There is still a few kinks and it isn't just us they need to have a truce with either. They have to work out something with the vizard's too as well as Shuhei. They are trying to put it all into one letter what they want to do but I can tell they are still scared and there are some that don't want to have a truce with us."
"That sucks." The teenager said with frown.
"Yes, but that is life for you. We can try to make it as easy as we want to but there will still be hardships no matter what." Ryuu looked up calling out to the half hollow that was walking by him and his son, "Shuhei, you need to see this. I'd rather the three different group's talk about this together but I want you to have you own opinions first."
The brunette walked over and took the paper, "Okay, I'll hand it to one of the others when I get done reading it." He walked away reading the paper as he did.
Ryuu looked over at Kensei as he walked into the room with Toshiro, "Ah, Akira was waiting on you."
The teenager looked at Toshiro excitedly, "Do you want to go play a game with me? I saw a soccer field nearby."
"I'm actually about to go eat in town with Dad." Toshiro replied, "But I'll see if can do it later."
Akria nodded in understanding and bounded off to find his sister. Ryuu chuckled lightly to himself, "I swear he's gotten crazier with you as his friend."
The vampire gave a tiny smile then looked at the little girl smiling at him, "Parks."
The eight year old pouted, "It's Lizzie, you must call me Lizzie."
Toshiro looked slightly uncomfortable as the blond child younger than tried to hug him. And she would have had her mother Amanda not pulled the young girl to her. "Now Lizzie, what have I told you?"
The little girl frowned, "Not to force it. But…"
"No buts… I didn't raise you to be rude. Let young Hitsugaya say your birth name on his one time. You force it you lose his possible friendship." Amanda smiled at Kensei who had put Toshiro behind him, "I'm sorry about her."
"It's fine. She's young. She will learn." The man guided his son to the door, "We will be back after we eat."
Amanda looked at her daughter's baby blue eyes after she fixed the young blond's dark blue summer dress, "Lizzie, I know your instincts are telling you to love on him but if you force yourself on him he will shut down."
"But mommy, he's lonely." Baby blue eyes looked down at her black flats that she had on.
"Let him figure things out sweetheart, he's just gone through traumatic experience. It's going to take him a bit before he's comfortable in his own skin again." She lifted her daughter's head gently, "In time he will comfortable around you just give him time."
"Yes ma'am."
