AN: This appeared in my head while writing chapter 6 of The Noodles. I had to get it out sometime. Takes place while Kankura is in the rukongai. And yes, I am in support of Ichigo's paring. It is actually emotionally possible, as of current chapters.
32 Relationships with the Kurosakis
One. It was during the middle of the Shinigami's Winter War when Yuzu had her first date. He had no idea why floating tablecloths and mysteriously moving signs kept appearing in front of him.
Two. Ikkaku knew that Isshin and Ichigo were needed in the war- that being, neither could afford to be sent to prison for murder.
Three. Yuzu had three dates from the Urahara Shoten. One from Jinta and the other two from Ururu.
Four. Ichigo and Karin knew about the date with Jinta and were sworn on their mother's grave that they would not interrupt the dinner or do anything to otherwise compromise it. It was entirely a coincidence that Chizuru saw them kissing and protected Yuzu in the name of sisterhood.
Five. It was only Isshin who knew about her dates with Ururu at a small tea parlor in the Rukongai. He only hoped his daughter wasn't developing a Lolita complex.
Six. In an act of teenage rebellion, Yuzu went on a long date with Ichigo's friend Uyru. They spend the entire weekend in the human world at a sewing and crafts convention. Isshin in pissed on principle, Karin is ready to kill the dork for not being responsible.
Seven. Only Ichigo is somewhat relieved that she went for Uryu instead of Keigo or Ikkaku- he only admits this after Uryu sews himself up to stop the bleeding just enough to get to a hospital.
Eight. Karin was ready to get a restraining order against Yuzu second girlfriend- Chizuru herself. Thankfully the would-be relationship ends before gossip can reach the Shinigami. Tatsuki provides the 'soft reminder' that Yuzu is both a minor, barely into puberty, and has deranged psychos as relatives. Then she reminds Chizuru of Yuzu's father.
Nine. In a fit of boredom Yuzu goes on a courtship meeting with a lesser nobleman's nephew's son, with all the flavor of real one. He expected a dainty flower. He forgot what his great-great uncle Jushiro told him about the Kurosakis.
Ten. Isshin and Ichigo worry when Yuzu takes an interest in cats. Karin remains confused about this one.
One. Karin has had fewer and far less curious dates then Yuzu but for the most part they were long lasting.
Two. Her first boyfriend is a completely human boy who can barely stand to come near her own spirit pressure let alone her family's. His name was Mikami.
Three. During Karakura's movement to the Rukongai, Karin went out with Mikami for seven months. Their relationship ended when he began wondering about the town's odd isolation and began reading old myths about other worldly phenomena.
Four. Karin would just like to make it perfectly clear that she and Jinta never dated, nor will they ever date.
Five. They also agreed to ignore the night they sat by the river and he cried about losing Yuzu. Karin might have hugged him.
Six. Although not a relationship, Karin's longest crush to date has been on Chad. Only Ichigo knows this. It is one of the few 'what if?' he wonders.
Seven. The first time she met Toshiro Hitsugaya she had no idea what to call him. She's heard him screaming to enough people to call him Captain, but the white jacket was on the busty women behind him, who giggled through their entire conversation. It was the only noise heard.
Eight. After three off duty visits and two snow cones they finally exchanged names. The hollow that tried to attack them coincidently heard them too.
Nine. Karin decided that she actually liked Toshiro after he let her hit his fifth seat for calling her a freak show. She decided that she came very close to actually loving him when he tells Ichigo that yes he is dating her. If nothing else, he certainly earned her respect- it takes a lot for him to deal with his fellow captains( Jushio and Shunsui) decorating his office in little pink hearts and flower petals.
Ten. She is both insanely happy and morbidly scared when she finds out that Isshin used to be the Tenth Division captain. And for the same reason too. It gives the word "replacement" a whole new set meanings.
One. Ichigo had no idea how he would explain his first girlfriend to his family. He knew that they expected either Rukia( Isshin), Orihime( Yuzu), or Tatsuki (Karin). Instead he came home with a scared arrancar.
Two. Isshin comments how her near constant frown matches his scowl. Yuzu is a little afraid since he mask looks like a western devil's horns. Karin just gapes at her- she has a bigger bust then Orihime.
Three. The Kurosaki children watched their father during dinner since he seemed to be both very excited for Ichigo and horribly insulting. Only the goat could tell a young...thing that human souls were not for dinner but she could spend the night.
Four. Neliel approached Ichigo's sisters differently. With Yuzu she accompanied on grocery trips and went for the high shelved items. With Karin she just made a promise to not leave him alone.
Five. Ichigo is bit selfishly happy about Nel being the former third Espada. She has enough life in her to fight for it.
Six. Unlike Rukia who invited herself into Ichigo's closet, Nel asked for it. Other families might have imagine it a little rushed for their eighteen year old son to have his girlfriend living in the same space as him, but it certainly lightened the household. Only Ichigo's shinigami friends felt awkward at seeing women's clothes in their friends room.
Seven. In a private talk between Isshin and Neliel, he asks her why she's still interested in his son, especially after his half hearted attempts to get her away. She smiles and simply tells him she's a masochist and Ichigo understands that. Father and son went three weeks without making eye contact.
Eight. Neliel knows that her bestial Adjuchas form was like a desert goat and still feels some of the insists she wishes away. Ichigo is happy because someone hates the rain just as much as him.
Nine. For a few minutes before their first kiss, Ichigo wonders how his friends will react to them. He hears Shirosaki and realizes he's damned anyway so he may as well enjoy this.
Ten. Ichigo hopes that Nel never runs out of abusive names to call him. It makes her fit in with his family even more.
One. Isshin decided that he raised his children well. A concerned neighbor decides that Isshin has ruined his children's lives. His son's beau verbally abuses him, the dark one is with a boy who scowls as much as her brother, and the youngest seems to be a nymphomaniac. Isshin still thinks he's done a fine job.
Two. Kon has no idea about what to do. Ichigo's girlfriend frightens him and he's too scared of Yuzu to go near hers. In an act Hara-kiri he throws himself into a paper shredder to spend a few weeks with Uryu and Orihime- oh sweet blessed Orihime.
