"OK, Rukia-chan. Now that you have mixed the flour in with the butter, it's time to add the curry powder."

"Lke this"

"That's right. Now stir it in."

Ichigo leaned against the door frame as he watched the two girls working over the kitchen counter. Yuzu always made curry from scratch. She learned the recipe from their mother's index cards and notebooks. Now she was passing it down to Rukia.

"What's up with the big smile Ichi-nii?" Karin asked.

Ichigo jumped a little. He didn't see her come up behind him. He scowled.

"It's nothing." He said.

He walked away.
