Co-written: Kureru and Lambentness
Disclaimer: How sad that I do not own this anime…
AN: I don't know how to explain the thing with who or what Ichigo knows, it was a spur of the moment decision soooo… hmm… sorry if it doesn't make sense…Please forgive me and my crazy friend!
Anyway.. On with the story!
"Renji!" called Rukia running towards him along the corridor. "You took longer than usual."
"Rukia onee-chan!" Kon yelled jumping off of Ichigo's shoulder and into Rukia's arms.
"Kon?" Rukia looked at the toy with surprise, "Why are you here?" she looked up at Renji for an answer and ended up seeing Ichigo. Mini Ichigo.
"Rukia!" Ichigo yelled giggling, "Look, Renji-kun's carrying me!"
"Renji…what happened?" Rukia was shocked.
Renji shrugged, "We were fighting a hollow and then it attacked Ichigo after I killed it and he turned out like this." Renji put Ichigo gently on the floor.
Ichigo ran over to Rukia, "Up!"
Rukia picked up Ichigo while Kon climbed on to her shoulder, "We should show my brother."
Ichigo nodded, "Will he play with me?"
Rukia shook her head, "He is not the type who plays, you should know that Ichigo."
"I want to play!" Ichigo whined, he looked behind Rukia and he brightened, "Hitsugaya! He'll play with me!" Ichigo jumped out of Rukia's arms and ran over to the captain , "Whitey-chan! Play with me!"
"Ichigo! Stop running around!" Renji commanded an angry glare on his face.
Hitsugaya kneeled down to Ichigo's level, which was very far from his own, "This is Ichigo?"
"Yes captain, he was changed by a hollow." Renji replied respectfully.
"Do you remember who you are Ichigo?" Hitsugaya asked curiously, "Do you retain all your memories?"
Rukia pulled Kon down from her shoulder and cradled him in her arms.
Ichigo nodded, "Ichigo remembers Whitey-chan! Will you play with me now?"
Renji moved forward ad picked Ichigo up, "Stop causing problems Ichigo."
Hitsugaya laughed, "It's alright Abarai-kun, I can look after him, when you need a break." Hitsugaya patted Ichigo on the head, "I'll play tomorrow okay?"
Ichigo grinned broadly, "Promise?"
Hitsugaya nodded, "I promise."
"We should go to see your brother Rukia." Renji said as Hitsugya walked away.
"Yay! I want to see Byakuya!" Ichigo yelled clapping his hands together, "He and Renji will play with me!"
"I'm not going to play with you, and Byakuya won't either." Renji glared off down the hall as he began to walk away, Rukia and Kon close behind.
Ichigo punched Renji in the face and jumped out of his arms, "You're mean Renji! I hate you!" Ichigo burst into tears and ran down the corridor into Hitsugaya's office. "Whitey-chan!" Ichigo yelled and jumped into the captains lap.
Renji sighed, shook his head and walked away to report to his captain.
"What's wrong Ichigo?" Hitsugaya asked, "Where's Renji?"
Rukia came into the office with Kon, "He went to report in."
"I thought Ichigo was going with him." Hitsugaya replied lifting Ichigo to sit on his desk.
Rukia shrugged her shoulders, "Renji's never been good with children."
"He was mean!" Ichigo cried, "He won't play with me!"
Rukia put her hand on Ichigo's head gently, "Renji is very busy Ichigo."
"I don't care! I said I liked him! So he should play with me."
"But if he doesn't do what he has to then he'll get in trouble, and if you like him you wouldn't want him to get in trouble would you?"
Ichigo shook his head, "No…but he could still play with me a little bit! Whitey-chan's a captain and he promised to play with me!"
Rukia nodded, "True, but Renji isn't good with little kids, he doesn't know how he should treat you."
"He could play hide and seek with me! Or…or play with my trucks!" Ichigo turned to Hitsugaya, "Will you play hide and seek with me Whitey-chan? Please?"
Rukia put Kon on the floor while she waited for Hitsugaya's answer.
Hitsugaya looked uncertain, but caved at the puppy dog expression Ichigo gave him, "Okay Ichigo, we'll play hide and seek."
"I'll leave Ichigo with you then." Rukia bowed as she left the office with Kon.
"Who's gonna hide first?" Ichigo asked looking very excited, "Can I hide first?"
Hitsugaya put Ichigo on the floor, "Alright you go hide and I'll count."
Ichigo ran out of the room, Hitsugaya watched him go and slowly counted to ten, "Ready or not, here I come Ichigo!"
