A/N: Hey, I'm new here, so it may not be great. I know it won't be tremendously bad, but there may be a few errors. If there are, don't hesitate to inform me! P.S there are some slight crossovers with Hamtaro!

"RUUUKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ichigo screamed hopelessly as the barrier between him and Rukia vanished, rushing to her side, blood streaming down her face.
"Don't worry about me, I'll… be…fine…" Rukia whispered quietly into Ichigo's ear.
"Rukia, no! RRUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" Kaien started grinning triumphantly.
"It's futile, she's gone! Hahahahahah!!!!!" Kaien laughed as he slowly disappeared back into Hueco Mundo.
"Ichigo, time to get up!" Yuzu called, Ichigo woke up, his head thumping with exasperation.
"Damn, I had that dream again, Rukia…" Ichigo trailed off into his thoughts, recalling the horrible memories of Rukia's death. As soon as he got downstairs and into the kitchen he was startled by the three words he never expected to hear.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ICHIGO!!!!!!!" Yuzu and Isshin bellowed.
"Happy birthday…" Karin stared quietly into the distance, thinking about Chad.
"Guys… Thanks." Ichigo was still depressed about his dreams, but at least his family could cheer him up a little.
"Ohayo… Oh! What's going on, we having a party or something?" Renji asked puzzled about all the commotion, just waking up from his stress-free two day nap.
"Rukia, if only you were here to see how happy everyone is…"
"Ohh, Rukiiiiiiiaaaaaaa!!!!!! It should have been me who was killed by Kaien!!!!!!" Renji ran off, tears thumping onto the ground.
"Renji is such a baby when it comes to Rukia, geez, gives me a headache." Toshiro grumbled.
"Oh, don't let it get you down captain!" Matsumoto hugged Toshiro so hard he couldn't breathe.
"Ugh, Matsumoto! If you don't let go of me you're going back to soul society!"
"Nnnnnnoooooooo!!!!!!! I can't get a moment's peace in there because of every last damn perverted shinigami up there!" and at that moment Matsumoto let go, afraid of what was going to happen next.
"Hope that teaches you, man why don't I just fill the submission to have her demoted!" Toshiro was annoyed, and a lot more than he normally is when it comes to Matsumoto.
"Aww, Matsumoto isn't that bad, in fact, I enjoy her company, a lot!" Grimmjow jagerjack the Husky plushie replied smugly sitting on Matsumoto's lap.
"Now that everybody's here… LET'S PARTY!!!!!!" Isshin bellowed, everyone cheered happily, impart for Toshiro who just mumbled;
"Yay," then realised why Grimmjow was cheering happily as well. "Hey, Grimmjow, why are you happy, you hate this guy and you only accepted Isshin's and Ichigo's invitation to live here because you had nowhere else to go! So what gives?"
"Well, my not-so good friend, you see, whenever Matsumoto is happy, I'm happy!" Grimmjow replied, exceedingly happy about how Toshiro scowled as soon as he said 'I'm happy!'
"Ichigo, Open your presents!" Yuzu called through the entire racket.
"Okay, hmm, let's see… hey! Dad got me a… poster of mum… real great."
"You see, Yuzu! I knew he'd love it!" Isshin whispered triumphantly.
"Why would Ichigo want a poster of mum when we've got a huge one right over by the T.V" Karin complained
"Oh, darling! Karin's reached adulthood too fast; soon she'll be one of those girls who are covered with-with… Tattoos!"
"Dad! I don't want to be like Akira and would you stop speaking to that poster!"
"Whoa, Karin! Calm down otherwise you're gonna burst a blood vessel!" Ichigo franticly tried to calm the situation down by opening some more presents.
"Hope you like it!" Matsumoto gestured to the most distinguishable present out of the lot, this one had a massive orange ribbon, tied up very lazily, it was also the largest in which everyone thought that Matsumoto went a bit too far.
"Woah! It's huge! What is exactly in this thing?" Ichigo was confused by the 10 foot Barrel that lay before him.
"Why it's sake of course! You're eighteen now so you're officially allowed to drink this lovely, thirst-quenching, helluva drink! Come on, take a quick sip." Matsumoto was really smug about what she got Ichigo but only everyone but Grimmjow agreed that maybe that wasn't so great.
"I think I'll have some later, but thanks!" Ichigo was now staring to regret letting the shingami's live here but still, he had company that he could trust, even though he hasn't become a shinigami since because Kon, with Ririn, Kuroud and Nova 'went shopping' and hasn't come back since, there have also been reports of bank robberies by talking plushies of a lion, bird, rabbit and turtle.
"I ho-hope y-you enjoy y-your pre-present!" Renji burst into tears and ran into his room thinking about Rukia.
"Hey this is one I can enjoy! Sweet a training sword shaped like Zangetsu in its shikai form!"
"Happy Birthday… you haven't used me in a while now, haven't you?" a mysterious voice came from the wooden Zangetsu, although everyone realised it was the spirit that inhabited the hulking sword.
"Old Man? How did you manage to get into this replica?" Ichigo was Puzzled but not nearly as confused as Yuzu, as she was the only one who didn't know that Ichigo was a shinigami.
"Captain level shinigami can transfer the spirits of zanpakuto's into wooden replicas, as long as the wielder can achieve at least shikai, the spirit is then transferred into the replica in its shikai form, it's quite simple really." Toshiro knew more about zanpakuto's than Sosuke knew about the Hollows.
"Hey! Are we late?" just then Inoue, Tatsuki, Chad, Ishida and the rest of Ichigo's friends appeared.
"I'm in heaven! Onee-san!" Mizuiro ran straight for Matsumoto, who swiftly punched Mizuiro square in the nose. Inoue ran straight to the kitchen table to put her gift and her strange food down so she could meet Ichigo.
"Hi, Ichigo, Happy Birthday" Chad spoke very few words when it came to birthdays, and he always avoided the centre of attention, seeing as how he was big
"Chad, aww come in here ya big lug! The party's just getting started!"
