Bang bang ba…

"GODDAMMIT MINORU!" shouted 12-year old Ken'Ichi as he looked up from his history textbook. He looked across the room from his desk and glared at the 10-year old boy sitting on the top bunk of the bunk bed they both shared. The boy had short dark brown hair with eyes shined a magnificent shade of hazel. He had on a plain red t-shirt with dark blue jeans that appeared completely faded at the bottom.

"Shut up Ken!" Minoru shouted as he rolled his eyes and resumed throwing his baseball at the ceiling of the wall. He had put particular force into that last throw and as the ball had hit the ceiling, it came back down with a loud BANG and made impact on Minoru's forehead with a loud THUD.

"AHH!" Minoru wailed in pain as he rubbed his bruised forehead. Ken'Ichi laughed silently at the situation as Minoru shot a glare at him.

"That's what you're dumbass get anyway. You didn't stop when I told you to and now look." Ken'Ichi said, snickering at the same time.

"Don't make me come down from here" Minoru threatened. "I was only doing that because it's so boring! There's nothing good on TV and its raining outside. There is never anything to do on Sundays afternoons."

Ken'Ichi shook his head and went back to his studies as a knock went on the door. "Come in!" Ken'Ichi and Minoru shouted in unison as the door creaked opened. It was one of their fathers, Ichigo.

"There was this huge accident on the highway so I won't be back from the hospital until probably tomorrow." Ichigo said as he put on his raincoat. "There is plenty of food but your dad is bringing home pizza when he comes back anyway. Oh and Tetsuya is asleep so please try and keep it down."

"Yes daddy" Ken'Ichi and Minoru shouted once again in unison.

"Do the dishes, wash your clothes for school tomorrow, and don't stay up too late." Ichigo said as he waved to the boys and closed the door.

As the door closed, Ken'Ichi frowned as he looked back down to his textbook. He should've been used to this by now. Ichigo had followed in his father's footsteps and became a doctor at a local hospital. It was annoying how often Ichigo would be called into work on such short notice.

"When is dad coming back from work?" Ken'Ichi asked.

"Why are you asking me?" Minoru replied. "Dad's been gone a lot lately. I don't even know if he has work today."

"Well he should be. He took the Nissan Teana. You know the two-toned with the black on top, blue on bottom. He always takes that car to work."

"Dad uses that car to go any and everywhere." Minoru replied as he pulled out his iPod from under his pillow and began listening to Bad Religion at full volume.

Ken'Ichi sighed. His other father, Chad, had been pulling a lot of Houdini acts for some time now. He would disappear for hours at a time and not even call or anything. When Chad would come home, it would be late in the night or early in the early in the morning. Ken'Ichi got up from his chair and walked out of the room to the hallway. He and his family lived a 3-bedroom apartment in eastern KaraKura town. It was somewhat small but they all lived comfortably. As Ken'Ichi walked down the hallway to the living room, he stopped to look at the family portrait that included him, his fathers, and his two brothers.

Ken'Ichi looked at himself and saw a rather tall and thin boy when light brown hair, emerald green eyes, and rather tan skin. Ken'Ichi found out last year that he had been adopted. When he was a month old, Ken'Ichi's biological parents had been killed in a fire and he was sent to a foster home. When he was four months, 20-year olds Ichigo and Chad adopted him and he became Ken'Ichi Kurosaki- Sado.

Ken'Ichi then shifted to the boy standing next to him. Three years after Ken'Ichi was adopted, Ichigo and Chad decided to adopt again and came home with a then 1-year old Minoru. Minoru's background had been tougher. He had been abandoned in a dumpster by his biological mother, who according to the adoption agency, was raped and didn't want anything to do with the child that came from her rapist. She only left a note that told of Minoru's date of birth and why she didn't want him. It was difficult for Chad and Ichigo to tell him this especially at the tender age of 9 and they worried that he would be too young to understand, but they were surprised when Minoru said that he didn't care and that they were his family now and always.

Ken'Ichi then looked at the baby in the picture and smiled. Tetsuya was only 2-years old. He was adopted only as an infant, as his biological mother decided that she was too young to raise a child. His bright smile, little dimples, baby blue eyes, and all around cute and adorable disposition would always lift the spirits of the family even in the toughest of times.

As Ken'Ichi looked up at the two men standing behind, he sighed. Even after finding out he was adopted, it was still weird to think it have same-sex parents. He had always new that his family was different. He would walk around and see children his age with their moms and dads. Then he would look at his own parents at see two men instead of a man and a woman. He would always question this, even now he would wonder if two men raising a family was a "proper" example of a family.

As Ken'Ichi continued to ponder the concept, he was snapped out of his mental train of thought and back to reality when he heard the phone ring. He ran down to the living room and picked up the phone from the coffee table. He looked and saw his Chad's name and cell phone number on the caller ID.

"Hello?" said Ken'Ichi.

"Ken it's me" replied Chad in his deep voice. "I won't be home until late so go ahead and order the pizza without me."

Ken'Ichi sighed and simply replied "Alright dad."

"Bye Ken." Chad said as the phone dial dropped from his end. Ken'Ichi was used to his dad being a man of few words but he didn't understand why he was even out in the first place. Chad disliked being in the rain and he was pretty sure he didn't have work today. Chad usually didn't have to work on the weekends. It was as If he was doing something else in secrecy.

'His been like this for months' Ken'Ichi thought to himself as he hung up the phone and walked to a nearby window to stare at the raindrops falling.

"Dad… what are you doing?" Ken'Ichi muttered as he continued to stare into the grey atmosphere.

Just outside an apartment building pulled up a Nissan Teana, two-toned with black on top and blue on bottom. The driver's door opened and out came Chad as he leaned on the side of the car holding an umbrella. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. After two rings, the person on the other end picked up and said "Hello?"

"I'm outside" Chad replied.

"Ok" said the other person as they hung up the phone. A few minutes later, out came out a slim yet fairly built man. He had on all black with a hoodie that concealed most of his face. The only parts of his face that were visible were his aqua green eyes and a few strands of hair that gave away at his red hair color.

The man walked down the stairs and walked to up to the large man standing in front of him. They both stared at each other, apparently wanted to start a conversion. However, the attempt failed as they both simply got in the car and drove off.

Ok, that's the first chapter. I really hope it was ok and I hope people liked it. I'm sorry if it seemed slow but it was to shed some light on the family background a bit. Please Review. I don't accept flames but I do take constructive criticism. The next chapter well be up soon!
