A/N: Hello! I am re-hauling my very first fic ever. My goal was to write a story as quickly as possible, updating every single day. Now that it has been awhile and I have finished the story, I am going back through and adding things, fleshing it out, and making it better. As best that I can! My goal here, despite the OC's, is to keep everyone IN character. There will only be 2 OC's that play a major part in this story. They will NOT be taking away from the Bleach characters. Their JOB is to bring out the best in the Bleachies and cause a little destruction here and there, both emotionally and physically. I have fixed the story so that in the end the OC's can leave the Bleach world as though this was simply an Arc in the main Bleach story. The ONLY pairing is IsshinxOC and even then that doesn't work out, give or take a few feelings. Also implied OrihimexIchigoxRukia. Just make note that these OC's are not power buffs! While one OC is beautiful she does have her own faults which set her apart and make her unique, different, and normal.

If you are looking for some extreme action this story does have it. Sadly, it is all mostly muddled at the end, but it is very good. The beginning is the Kurosaki family getting used to a new woman in their life. Which also includes her meeting Ichigo's friends. I have this disclaimer because I know people do not like OC's and I don't want anyone wasting their time. I will be covering some emotional things so expect drama. It will also be comedic though, and should give out a few laughs and hopefully not at the expense of the characters. So without giving away the whole story, please enjoy!

Prologue: Set before the Winter War, right after the Bount Arc. Isshin falls in love with a visiting Doctor and Ichigo must come to terms with his father's happiness. He must also juggle 2 possible love interests and learn to trust a woman that might replace his mother. While also trying to not go insane. Welcome to Infinite Whole.

~`*`~

Ichigo slammed his locker and heaved a sigh. Tests all this week, not to mention round the clock shinigami training, keeping a watch for hollows, or anything else out of the ordinary. V-day was almost here too. Life never stopped. Down the hallway a curvaceous young lady bopped along towards Ichigo.

"Hello Ichigo!" Orihime beamed.

"Oh, hey Inoue."

He stood up straight, walking towards his next class. Orihime skipped along taking notice of his dullness. "So what are you doing this weekend?"

Ichigo replied aimlessly, "Nothing."

Her eyes widened as she shadowed him along the crowded hallway. "Really! Great! You can spend Valentine's with Tatsuki and me!"

"Wa, what! No I'm… I'm busy."

She tilted her face, "You just said you weren't doing anything."

Ichigo replied, "Yeah well, my sisters will probably have something for me to do so…"

"It's O.K. I get it. Well, see you later."

Three hours later, Ichigo found himself standing before his home; anticipating an attack from his father. Opening the door slowly he shuffled in, pretending to be non-observant. His backpack slipped down his arm to his elbow, in a stealthy manner. Ichigo walked up the stairs to his room; silence, nothing.

"I'm HOME!" he yelled. Listening Ichigo made his way into the kitchen.

"Well nobody's here. 4:00 pm, Hmmm." Smiling, he grabbed a chair and reached into the top-most cupboard.

"Ha! Karin can't keep that candy away from me! Serves her right miss, 'Ichigo you'll never find where I hid the Valentine's candy!'" Grasping greedily into a dark corner he suddenly heard a loud snap. A few emotional facial changes and Ichigo yelled, leaning back, and falling to the tiled kitchen floor.

"Karin, why!? Ever frig'n year the same thing!" Holding his throbbing right hand, Ichigo looked down.

"A mouse trap!? What the worst, little, AGHGHHG!" Pulling it off of the side of his hand Ichigo got back up, resolved to find this year's candy. Regardless of the painful obstacles placed before him. Standing again on the chair he reached back in... Then, SNAP!

The front door opened as his sisters raced into the kitchen. "Caught you Ichigo! You thought you could get away with eating our candy!" Karin looked on; quite pleased with herself.

While amused, Yuzu obviously had other things on her mind. "Um, Ichigo? You are O.K.? Your hand I mean."

Ichigo hopped off the chair and pulled 2 more mouse traps off of his hand, "Yeah, I'm fine Yuzu. You got me this time but, Halloween is my time, Karin!"

They laughed a little then, Ichigo noticed. "So where's dad?"

Yuzu tilted her head, thinking, and tapping her chin. "I sent him to the grocery store but..."

Karin smiled as Ichigo put the chair back, blurting out, "She thinks dad likes this lady at work!"

Yuzu's eyes transformed, "What... wait, no I..."

"Yeah you know it. Yuzu says she saw them talking together and smiling together and..."

"NO, I mean not like THAT!"

Ichigo waved a silencing hand. "What do you mean 'like that'?"

Karin quieted, waiting on her sister's response. Yuzu looked down and spoke, "Dad's been really lonely; I think with Valentine's and all. Then, then some Doctor was supposed to come and teach at the clinics and hospitals around here, and Daddy became even more solemn. But, then when she showed up, Dad... well, he seems so much happier."

Ichigo nodded trying to find a comforting answer, but was cut off as she continued, "I don't want Daddy to be sad or anything. He just... really seems to like her. She is really nice though and..."

Silence, scratching his forehead Ichigo began as best he could, "Yuzu, its O.k. for Dad to like other women. As long as you two act like yourselves that will be enough to drive them all away."

Karin's mouth dropped as she stared at her brother while Yuzu walked away. Once she was out of ear-shot Karin spoke, "You are heartless, big meanie!"

Ichigo jumped up, "What! What did I do!?"

Walking away she turned around, "Just opened your big mouth, that's all."

Ichigo stood there, helpless. He really did not know what to say, and didn't understand how his comment had so obviously hurt his sister.

"I should have called somebody that's a girl. Or maybe I should have just shut-up."

An hour later in his room, Ichigo listened to music, waiting. Lying on his bed, reminiscing over days gone by; friends made and lost. A door slammed, immediately bringing Ichigo back to reality. He listened and heard his dad, suddenly remembered what Yuzu had said. "What if he really is falling for this woman?" he thought, "Who is she anyway?"

Ichigo raced downstairs then comfortably transitioned himself to the feel of the room; trying to appear undisturbed. "Hey," Isshin Kurosaki turned, "Catch!"

Holding up his good hand, Ichigo easily caught the handles of the plastic bag. It was the bottom he forgot. Staring at his father cockily, Ichigo then squirmed. The bag had broken. With a thunderous thud the contents smashed his foot. Everyone laughed as Ichigo grimaced, sideling to the nearby kitchen table and chairs.

Isshin grinned, "Come on, Kurosaki! What's wrong with you? Where are those lightening fast reflexes? Don't cry!"

Ichigo mumbled inaudibly, while his father picked up the spilled cans. Sitting next to her brother, Karin whispered, "Serves you right."

Ichigo only glared. In the kitchen Yuzu was putting stuff away. "Daddy, why did you buy so much food? Some of this stuff wasn't even on my list."

Karin replied, "That's because we are feeding an army; an army of Ichigo, anyway."

More laughter and even the pouting Ichigo chuckled. Mr. Kurosaki re-entered the kitchen and thoughtfully answered his daughter, "You won't believe who I saw at the store and invited to dinner. Guess!"

Yuzu held back a sigh, "Um, Ichigo's girlfriend?"

He shook his head.

"Don Konoji!" Karin yelled.

Their father answered, "No, Ichigo can you guess?"

More inaudibly muttering.

"Come on Daddy, tell us!" both girls whined, exasperation seeping through. Partially in their minds they had formed an idea of who it was, but were too embarrassed to say; not wanting to be taken wrong.

Mr. Kurosaki kept the suspense a little longer, while all eyes gravitated on him. "Well," he began in a girly voice, "while I was in the store, I got the lettuce which..."

"Dad!" they all yelled.

"Just tell us who it is!" Yuzu said.

He smiled, "Dr. Trisha Connely."

The girls gasped.

"What... but," Karin was cut off as Yuzu asked, "What time is she coming?"

"Hmm," Isshin looked absently at the clock, above the sink, "around 6:30 tonight. Better get cooking."

Yuzu threw up her hands in exasperation. "I can't believe you didn't tell us! This is impossible, to have dinner ready so soon!"

Her father only chuckled, "I didn't tell her at work, I met her later at the store."

Karin gaped at her father, and over-spoke her confused brother, "What!? Why did you even ask her? She isn't poor or anything and who said you could talk to strangers!?"

Mr. Kurosaki stood in the kitchen, "Well as I was trying to tell you before..."

Ichigo stood up, "Wait! Who is this woman?"

Karin looked blankly at her brother before her father could explain, "She was sent to inspect and train hospital staff and clinic staff in new techniques. Dad continue."

She grabbed Ichigo's badly mouse trapped hand, and pulled, making him sit.

In the kitchen, Yuzu bumped into her father. "Daddy, if you're not going to help then, please, get out of my way!"

Banished from the kitchen, he joined Ichigo and Karin at the table, but made sure to speak loud enough so Yuzu could hear. "While at the store I ran into her at the checkout. She was in front of me, and just had a few things. I overheard her conversation. Someone had cancelled dinner with her. When she turned to leave the line, I suppose it was so she could get some food, she bumped into me. We started talking and I invited her over."

Karin examined her dad, eyebrows raised. "That's all?"

"Well she is of course going to rate the clinic so, I have to be nice don't I?"

"Not that nice," Ichigo interrupted.

Yuzu peeked over the counter, "Oh, Ichigo! Daddy that was very nice of you."

Her father sat up, "Why thank-you, Yuzu."

"Watch, "Ichigo mused, "she'll be all ugly, crooked, and haggard."

Karin laughed. "I think that's the most definitive amount of words you have ever spoken in a sentence. Look Dad, Ichigo is getting smarter!"
