Sup, I'm back. I want to thank y'all who've made it clear that ya like this story, it helps me keep goin'. I've been using my school laptop, it has issues with some letters so bare with me. I got a review yesterday about Grandfisher's evolution level, I 'ad to give Ichigo somethin' to suffer with as his young and hunger idled mind screwed his life over. Grandfisher was the reason Masaki died once, now because 'e was taunting Ichigo's hunger she died again. I don't own Bleach.

Uryuu was at his wit's end, Ichigo hadn't been to school in about a month and his friends were getting worried. So, to combat this new 'opponent', he went straight to his old friend's house to smack some sense into him. He was one of Ichigo's best friends and in a way, cousin since Masaki was raised by Uryuu's grandfather. He heard about Masaki and it hurt as well, but he was more worried about his hollow of a friend. Ichigo's being a hollow meant that emotional problems were heavy-hitting, a traumatic event like this could send him into the depths of his hunger for comfort or he could go on a killing spree out of pain.
He couldn't let his best friend, cousin, and possibly only friendly hollow, die from the inside out, 'Normally, Pluses turn into hollows from the outside in, but for Ichigo it's different. He was born out of the destroyed essence of the hollow trapped inside of Masaki, he's a hollow from birth. That means that anything precious to him will be his life-line from the hunger, normal hollows don't have that. They have fragments of memories and no one to turn to. Ichigo's the only true-born hollow in existence, he better not try to eat me!'
He reached the Kurosaki clinic and house with minimal trouble, aside from the red lights being at every other interception. At the door was Isshin, he had such a depressed face that it looked like he was dead, "Hey, Uryuu, Ichigo's in his room. Word of warning, he hasn't been on a hunt in weeks, he's going to be hungry. Try to be patient with him, he's lost one of the few life-lines he had. He's also under the impression that without Masaki-chan, that your Tou-san will kill him."
Uryuu looked shocked at this revelation, his best friend was afraid that his Tou-san would shoot him to oblivion? He hadn't been on a hunt in weeks?! That was cause for alarm, Ichigo needed major therapy. This kind utilized the patient, the therapist and a lot of running for the patient's life. He would use the old Ishida Method of cheering up the depressed, he'd 'shoot and miss' Ichigo a lot.
He got to Ichigo's room after fending off Karin and Yuzu, he listened through the door to hear...nothing! There was no sound, no footsteps or sobs of grievance. He entered the room quietly, to find Ichigo asleep with dried tears on his face. Uryuu decided that 'therapy' was in session, "Ichigo! Wake up, you need to hunt or you'll go insane...Then again you might die, or both!"
Ichigo didn't make even and attempt to respond, he just opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. He was so unresponsive that Uryuu was contemplating hitting him with an extremely weak arrow to the knee. Before he could decide on what to do, Ichigo made his existence known, "I failed, she let me eat him...but, she didn't survive. I made an unspoken promise to make sure that my hunger wouldn't be the death of anyone close to me...I-"
"STOP!" Ichigo looked to his best friend in surprise at his outburst, he didn't expect logical and calm Uryuu, to shout at him, "Why should I..." Uryuu thought on what his unsaid rival and best friend's question for a moment before speaking again, "If you keep on moping and grieving like this, her sacrifice of herself will be in vain! She tried and succeeded to save you from your hunger clouded mind from getting you killed!"
Ichigo had tears brimming at his eyes, he had never thought of it like that. The thought had never even crossed his mind, 'Kaa-san saved me from committing hunger induced suicide?' Not even a minute after that thought passed Ichigo's mind, Uryuu continued his life changing rant, "Honor, her sacrifice! Make her proud; to have birthed you, to have raised you, and to have died saving you! Live like you'll die tomorrow, live to protect like she did, MAKE HER SACRIFICE MEAN SOMETHING!"
Ichigo lay there stunned at his friend's emotional speech, he'd never known Uryuu to get this caught in the moment about anything! He laid there for a few minutes in silence, thinking about his friend/rival's harsh but true words. Uryuu was beginning to worry that he didn't get his point across, until the depressed hollow-child sat up and spoke without any sadness in his now determined voice, "You're right...I've been grieving and being depressed over a great woman's sacrifice...I'll live as if I'll die at any moment, live to stop anyone who's innocent and or close to me from dying, and...I, will make her sacrifice mean something...I will make you proud Kaa-san!"
The now standing little hollow-boy of seven years-old, was looking at the ceiling but seeing through it. Uryuu was smirking softly at the knowledge that he got Ichigo out of his self-deprecating actions, or lack thereof. Ichigo looked to the young Quincy of the same age as him and nodded in silent thanks, to which was answered with the same type of nod to him.
"Now, Ichigo, you've missed school and Tatsuki's been threatening your father with violence if he, and I quote, 'Didn't return Berryhead back over to them'...Hehehehe, why is it that she has a nickname for you?" Ichigo just blushed and looked away before chuckling at the fact that she threatened his father with martial arts as violence. He then realized what his drop in grades meant, "Uuhh, you're going to have to be my tutor...This is going to suck..."
Uryuu chuckled at his friend's complaining, "Hehehe, well I don't have to be your tutor..." He left that hanging, knowing that he had Ichigo beat. "Fiiinnnee, please be my tutor, Uryuu." "Hhmm, okay then Ichigo, I'll be your tutor." The two of them then went down stairs to begin tutoring, when Isshin interrupted them with a phone in hand, "Sorry boys, Ryuuken just called. Uryuu-kun, your father says it's dinner time." Receiving a groan from Uryuu, he left them be.

Ichigo was on the ground gasping for breath with a Mexican coin in his hand as he looked up at the, tied to a chair, giant of a teenager, "What's your name?" The young man had brown hair that covered his right eye most of the time, his eyes were brown, he had pronounced cheek bones and his darkened skin set him apart from most people besides his height, "Yasutora Sado, yours?"
Ichigo looked dead-tired even as he spoke, "Kurosaki Ichigo. What's so important about this coin, Sado?" Sado looked at the coin with a nostalgic face on, "It's one of my few mementos of my Abuelo, Oscar Joaquin de la Rosa. Tell me, why did you help me?" His voice was deep and smooth, he had been jumped by a group of junkies under a bridge and he wouldn't fight back as they beat him up, "Well, for one, you're all tied up so you couldn't help yourself. For two, I don't like watching people who are innocent, get hurt by scum like them," He gestured to the people on the ground around them who had obviously been knocked unconscious.
"Hey, here's a thought; how about whenever you're in a jam, I come and help you out?" Sado looked at him surprise on his normally calm features at this stranger's proposal, "Then, whenever you are in trouble, I shall do the same, Kurosaki Ichigo." After they got Sado untied, they left side by side from under the bridge.

Some teenagers were skateboarding around near a makeshift grave with a vase of flowers knocked over, when Ichigo came out of nowhere and stopped the kid in the front of them with a kick to the face, "What are you lowlifes doing?!" His demand was met with looks of astonishment and deadpans, "We're grinding, what's it look like? And even more important, why does it matter?" Ichigo was clearly irritated, brimming on pissed, with these ingrates, "Look over there, why are the flowers and the vase knocked over!"
His demeanor was one of, 'don't fuck with this', and the kids took notice. The lead skateboarder though, decided to act badass, "We probably knocked it over while grinding, no biggie." That, however, was the wrong thing to say to the seething hollow-born before them, "'No biggie?! No biggie, you say?!"
His voice changing set alarms off in the kids' minds as he shook with barely contained rage at their arrogance, "That! My friends, is a little girl's grave! She can't rest if you defile her grave like that, NOW APOLOGIZE!" His roar was terrifying to them, they then realized who he was, he was Kurosaki Ichigo; Karakura High's personal delinquent, the guy who never lost a brawl, the kid who was about to kick their asses if they didn't fix their mistake and fast, "S-sorry, we'll get new flowers and a new vase for her, let's get to that then guys!"
With that, they ran off, leaving Ichigo alone with the ghost of the little girl, "Sorry for putting you on the spot like that, and for scaring you with my hollowfied voice..." He left that apology hanging, feeling like the little girl would still be scared of him and that she would reject his apology. His voice was truly apologetic as the little girl's ghost figured out, "I-it's alright, I just...wasn't expecting that much Reiatsu and hollow like energy to come off of you. You're forgiven, now it's getting late, you should head on home."
Ichigo nodded and walked home. He reached his house without any real problems, a few hollows tried to eat him and he ate them in response. When he got into his house, he was greeted with a flying foot to the face, "SONOVABITCH! Do you want to tell me why you decided to kick me in the face?!" Isshin was in Ichigo's face now, glowering at him as he talked, "YOU'RE LATE FOR DINNER! Also it helps me relieve stress..." Ichigo just glared at him for a moment then let his voice be heard, "What happened to your yoga classes?"
Isshin just stared at his son then said, "It ended like all the others, in a vice grip with my foot up it's ass!" "Tou-san, you're weird, you know that?" Isshin just smiled and gave a thumbs up as a ping appeared on his teeth(WHAT THE FUCK POSSESSED ME TO DO THAT!). Ichigo suddenly got a chill up his spine with thoughts along the lines of, 'Well, someone's out to get me again...Or it might just have been Tou-san's antics again...Probably Tou-san's antics.' He went up to his room, exhaustion evident in his stride, he got to his room and found a short young girl.
She was about five feet tall, her frame was petite, light skin, purple-ish eyes, jet black hair with a lock or two in front of her eyes, but the most noticeable thing about her was that she was wearing Shinigami garb. He looked at her like he didn't see her in hopes that she would think he was just another human...No such luck, because the next thing he knew after walking passed her was that he was face down on the ground and she was sitting on his back, blade to the back of his neck.
"Cut the act, I know you can see me! Now, why do you have the Reiatsu of a Hollow?!" She pressed the blunt of her blade to the back of his neck, obviously from a lack of resolve to kill. He would use this later on when the time was right, "Um, could you explain this whole Hollow thing to me as well as WHY THE HELL YOU'RE IN MY ROOM!" He demanded this and threw the little bitch off his back to give her his trademark scowl.
"Uuuhhh, you're lying! I can tell from your Reiatsu, now ANSWER ME!" He looked at her with a deadpan, to which she blushed realizing she didn't use quid pro quo. "Ahem, I'm Kuchiki Rukia, I'-" She couldn't finish because Ichigo took the initiative to state the obvious as well as throw her point of view on life out the window, "A member of the Gotei 13, Fukutaicho of the 13th Division, a member of the astounded Kuchiki Clan, and clearly adopted into the said clan's esteemed name." He said it all in a bored tone, while the now named Rukia was so stunned she couldn't think of a response.
It took a few minutes of Ichigo staring at her, waving hands in her face, and speaking at her to wake up. When she awoke from 'stupids-ville', she grabbed her Zanpakuto which she trained for his heart, "O-Okay, you know about m-me, now tell me a-about you and...how the he-hell do you know so much about Soul Society!" Her voice was shaky as she stuttered, amusing Ichigo to no end until he reciprocated with information about himself, "I'm Kurosaki Ichigo, student and personal delinquent of Karakura High, and right now, the person who's probably going to send a certain little bitch on her way soon..."
His calling her a bitch made a tickmark appear on her forehead as she glowered at him while she drew something to piss him off. The end drawing was that of a rabbit being beaten by another rabbit that looked suspiciously like Rukia, "I'm a bitch am I? Well than..." She then got out her markers and drew a mustache on Ichigo's face, "AH, oh you can go straight to Hell!" Before he could attack her after speed-drawing on him, she used a Kido he didn't know the name of to keep his arms behind his back.
"There, now that we're introduced, answer the damned question!" Her reward for the paralysis was a scowl and a dark chuckle from her 'prisoner', "Do you really want an answer little girl..." He let it hang like a string while she had a vein pop visibly on her forehead for the 'little girl' comment, "Of course I do! Now, give the answer!" Her response was a dark chuckle as Ichigo got up and moved his hands from behind his back as if they were never restrained, shocking Rukia a great deal, 'H-HOW! Not even some of the strongest Shinigami can break my Kido, so how can this human do it like it wasn't even there to begin with?!' Her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Isshin from down stairs, "ICHIGO! Get some food in that blackhole you call a stomach! You can flirt with the Shinigami later, we're hunting tonight!"
At this, Ichigo perked up and wiped some drool from his mouth at the thought of eating, "I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN TOU-SAN! Yeah, I got to go, never see you or your horrible drawings later!" He left before Rukia could attack him for insulting her great(I can't believe what I've subjected myself to, *shudders at Rukia's drawings* they suck) drawings.
Down stairs, Ichigo was getting ready for hunting while Isshin was telling the girls to stop the strange Shinigami from leaving the house towards them. The best response that was given came from Karin, "Yeah yeah, we'll make sure the midget bitch doesn't cause you guys trouble, now go before Ichigo tries to eat us!" Ichigo scowled at her for insinuating that he had no self-control and that he would willingly eat his family or a human in general. Isshin however was proud that his children were so grown up at such young ages, and very amused at Karin's aloof attitude to the situation.
"Alright we're off, come on Ichigo! Time to feed the beast, so to speak, hehehe," He began to feel nervous when his son began to glower at him for the unnecessary comments and hints towards what he was. They had a fucking Shinigami fukutaicho upstairs for crying out loud! But, that was neither here nor there as they left to sate Ichigo's hunger for the time being, although Yuzu just found her older brother's personality and reactions hilarious to everyone else's actions and personalities. It brought spice to life in a way, while she was reminiscing she and Karin noticed that Rukia was listening to the last part of their father's little 'take care' speech. Karin spoke for the both of them in a blunt and crass way, "Alright Shinigami bitch, come out of hiding! We can sense your Reiatsu, and didn't your adoptive family ever tell you it's rude to eavesdrop?!"
Rukia was unnerved and pissed that she was so easily read and caught red handed, 'WHAT THE HELL'S WITH THIS FAMILY?! How is it that they all know about Soul Society and act normal like it's common knowledge while still a secret, it's like they've done this for years!' Yuzu decided to defuse the situation before Rukia picked a fight with Karin, who always found a way to kick any challenger's ass, "Hehehe, easy Karin, we don't want Soul Society to give us trouble because you picked a fight with a fukutaicho! We've been fine without them on our case, we don't need them to give Tou-san anymore trouble than they have in the pas-"
It was too late, Rukia heard what Yuzu was going to say and was now glaring at Karin for helping Yuzu cover her mouth, "What are you talking about? What do you mean, 'give Tou-san anymore trouble than they have in the past'? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!" Her patience was thrown out the window with all the questions flowing through her mind. The girls, even sweet little Yuzu, glared daggers from Hell at her. They looked between each other, having a silent conversation, 'We can't tell her anything, but if she doesn't get any answers Tou-san and Ichi-nii! She can't know about Kaa-san, after all, she's probably no older than a few hundred years old by her physical appearance. Which also means, she's never heard of Quincies or of Tou-san being the 10th Division's taicho!'
Yuzu's eyes were gentle, unlike Karin's hard and protective stare, 'We can't tell her nothing, she'll call the Gotei 13 or worse! The soutaicho, then we'll be given over to the 12th Division and used for experiments! We can't fight her without showing that we're not fully human, and we can't do nothing! This is going to be hard...' Karin's stare had softened a bit as she placed a calm hand and a comfortingly gentle squeeze on Yuzu's shoulder, 'I know, but we haven't any other choice. We might as well try our hands at the Kido we have...Uuhh, Tou-san and Ichi-nii are going to flip, but we can't let her leave the house!'
A silent nod passed between them before they turned to Rukia and took simple battle stances. Rukia for one, was a little put off by their resolve to do as their father said to keep her there. She almost forgot her rank at that moment, seeing their eyes glow a small bit of blue. Yuzu's normally gentle brown eyes glowed lightly but dangerously as she glared at the stranger that was their temporary charge. Karin's already hard-glaring grey eyes glowed brighter than her twin's, but they were both equally intimidating to the 'young' fukutaicho before them.
Rukia came out of her stupor with a shake of the head and a phony, confident smirk, "You two, a couple of human twins, against me?! A fukutaicho of the Gotei 13, and the 13th Division no less?! HAHAHAH! You wont be able to-" Her thoughts were broken by two sets of the same incantation from the twins, "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat! Bakudo 9: Horin!"
The incantation and proclamation of the name was said in perfect sync between the twin girls of thirteen. Rukia was suddenly restrained by two different orange-hued and yellow patterned tendrils from the middle and index fingers their right and left hand. Rukia was now held to the ground by them as the rope-like tendrils left from their fingers to hold her down on their own, "H-HOW! ONLY SHINIGAMI KNOW KIDO, OF ANY FORM! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?"
The twins shared a nod between them as Yuzu said, "I think we need to use that Kido developed by Hachigen-san-sensei taught us, we still aren't that good with barriers, but..." Karin picked up where she left off, "Yeah, we can't let anyone come in on us while she gets out and attacks us...UUUHHH! I hate, the Soul Society even more now!" Rukia looked on as they said things she couldn't understand or remember after they said them, after a few moments a surge of Reiatsu as a barrier erected around the house of the Kurosaki's.
Rukia was stunned, they said they weren't very good at barriers but they made one that she was positive even a skilled Kido user couldn't break, "W-what...What is this? I don't recognize this Bakudo! Who-What-The HELL IS WITH THIS FAMILY! YOUR OLDER BROTHER HAS THE REIATSU OF A HOLLOW YOUR FATHER"S AT LEAST TAICHO LEVEL IN THE REGARD OF REIATSU AND NOW I FIND KIDO SPECIALISTS AT THE AGE OF THIRTEEN?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE! YOU CAN'T BE HUMAN!"
Karin suddenly tensed and then grabbed Rukia by her shihakusho's collar as she lifted her off the ground by three feet, "What would a lowlife Shinigami," Rukia heard the venom in the word Shinigami and could feel that Yuzu was radiating with hate at her, "Know about what humans can and can't do, HUH! YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS KILL THAT WHICH YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND AND OR CAN'T CONTROL! The Quincies are almost extinct, the Shinigami who were forced Hollow powers upon, the Bount were slaughtered by you and the Quincies, who you stabbed in the back!"
Yuzu decided that her two cents was needed, "The good that Shinigami do is outweighed by the bad you've done! You people are horrible! You would execute anyone who gave a human their powers...Huuh! The MOD SOULS! YOU PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE TO DESTROY THEM, YOU COULD HAVE GIVEN THEM THERE OWN GIGAIS OR INANIMATE OBJECT FOR THEM TO LIVE AS! BUT NNNOOO! THAT'S NOT THE SHINIGAMI WAY IS IT! YOU HAVE TO KILL WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE OR CAN'T CONTROL! YOU BASTARDS ARE CRUEL!"
Karin was shocked at her twin sister's aggression, she knew Yuzu was especially close to Hachigen so she would be aggressive. She didn't expect this much aggression from Yuzu though, she expected a talking down in a harsh yet calm tone, not an all out shouting fit! Rukia was beginning to feel tears at the brim of her eyes, she hadn't even heard of most of these things, yet a pair of not-so human thirteen year-old twins were giving her a historry lesson. A history lesson of sorrow and anguish, "I...I don't know*choking up* what you two are talk-!"
Karin interrupted with a punch to the face, "OF COURSE YOU DON'T! WHY WOULD THE SOUTAICHO TELL HIS SUBORDINATES WHAT AND HOW HE FUCKED UP AT!" Her question was rhetorical, it wasn't even a question, and it pulled at Rukia's heartstrings to know that her profession had hurt so many innocents.
With Ichigo and Isshin
Ichigo and Isshin were about three blocks away from their house when they felt the barrier being put up, "Well, looks like we're going to be out here awhile. Any complaints Ichigo?" Isshin was given a shake of the head no, to which he chuckled, "Either way, we'll need Hachigen to deactivate Hachigyo Sogai. The Visored said they might stay in Karakura because of how calm it is with little activity of Hollows because and aside from you."
Ichigo groaned in protest, "Why?! We can stay out here and keep hunting all nigh...Oh right, you have to sleep, I don't. Huuh, the midget they keep as a pet is a bitch to mmmeee!" Isshin laughed at his son's whining, "You always piss her off, Ichigo. You know, if you didn't try to piss her off, she wouldn't abuse you so much."
With the Vizards
Hiyori was attacking Shinji as usual for whatever he had called or said to/about her, "Call me a midget huh? Think I'm a kid huh? Well I've got some words fro-ACHOOO!" Shinji and the others looked at her in surprise, she never let anything interrupt her rantings, never! "ERGH! DAMN IT! WHOEVER'S TALKING ABOUT ME IS GOING TO PAY!"
Back with the Kurosaki males
Ichigo felt a sudden chill run up his spine, "Ererer," Isshin looked to his now goosebumps covered son, "Something the matter?" Ichigo just looked at his father with a mix of irritation and nervousness, "Feels like Hiyori-one-san was talking/out to get me...Or, it was Tatsuki planning my demise!" Isshin just looked at his son before bursting into an uncontrollable laughing fit.
While Ichigo was glaring at his inconveniently laughing father, a small creature walked up to them...on a wall! It sat 'down' right beside the two Kurosaki males next to an apartment complex. It was about three minutes until Ichigo noticed it, "What the hell?! A...CAT?! Wait, you're an Adjuchas. Which explains why you're literally sitting on a wall!" Isshin looked up from the ground after getting his laughter under control, and there indeed was an average house-cat sized Hollow. It's white bone-like armor was covered in tribal looking markings, the most interesting was on the top of each paw. On top of each paw was a swirl with three triangles pointing in the direction of three toes per paw.(Picture the symbol for catwalk in Okami)
The cat made no move at them, just stared at them disinterestedly. Without any threateningly sudden movements, it yawned and laid 'down' on the wall. Ichigo and Isshin were perplexed, they couldn't feel any Reiatsu coming off the small Adjuchas and it was clearly a strong one if it wasn't trying to eat them right away, so why couldn't they feel anything off of this tabby-sized Adjuchas?
Ichigo made a subtle move towards the little thing, it made no move to stop him as he touched it's forehead. On it's brow was the same symbol as on top of it's paws, "If you are confused about why you can't sense my Reiatsu or why I'm not trying to eat the two of you...It's simple, I'm almost to the evolutionary level of Vasto Lorde. I don't need to eat constantly anymore, but I still need to eat regularly so as not to regress. You won't have that problem, young Hollowborn. For your origin of power must have been strong, now you will have a quicker time becoming strong, but you will have to eat more. Right now, you are still only at a Gillian's level, you will become stronger for that there is no doubt. Good bye!'
With that, the cat ran off on the wall away from them. They continued onto the Visored more popular haunts to borrow Hachigan from them. They reached the abandoned and beat up warehouse without any interruptions, when they reached the place is another story. For the moment Ichigo opened the big doors, a foot belonging to Sarugaki Hiyori became intimately familiar with Ichigo's face, "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU! IS IT YOUR HOLLOW OR IS IT YOU BERRY-TEME!"
Out of the warehouse came a battered up Shinji and Mashiro, who heard the 'berry-teme' remark, "HUUH, IT'S BERRY-TAN!" Mashiro ran over to the downed Ichigo and bear hugged him to near death. Shinji was chuckling along with Isshin at Ichigo's 'popularity' while Hiyori was glowering at Mashiro for getting in the way of her smacking of Ichigo's pride, "MASHIRO! LET GO OF BERRY-TEME, I NEED TO MURDER HIM FOR INTERRUPTING MY RANT AT THAT FLAT-FACE, SHINJI!"
Mashiro reluctantly let go of the now gasping Ichigo, who was about to get pulverized by a 'midget devil' as he called her, "AAHH, WHY DOESN'T THAT LITTLE DEVIL HAVE A LEASH ON!" His remark made Hiyori even more livid and made all the Visored come out to laugh at Ichigo's misfortune. After a few minutes of Ichigo getting the living shit beat out of him he let his status as alive be known, "To answer your question*coughcough* I don't have a Hollow, I am*coughcough* a Hollow. And all of you guys don't have Hollows either, just the personification of your masks. Damn, that hurt! Shinji, haven't you been pleasing her in-"
He was interrupted by a pair of voices and feet to his face, "WE'RE NOT AN ITEM!" Shinji and Hiyori's feet met Ichigo at the same time, sending him flying into a support beam. The other Visored, except Hachigan, were watching Ichigo's exchange with Hiyori and Shinji amusedly. Rose, Lisa, and Love decided to play their hand at this game. Lisa went first, while still reading her dirty manga, "HEY! Shinji, if you need some ideas, you can borrow my magazines!" "I'M NOT INTO MIDGET DEVILS LIKE HER!"
Love, finding this more entertaining than his regular manga, spoke up. "Hey, with how you two are always fighting, it would imply that there's a lot of sexual tension between you two!" Hiyori's voice portrayed her feelings of betrayal, "LOVE!" Rose spoke next, putting his guitar away for proper focus on their teasing, "Hey, they're right, why don't we let Mashiro have her fun with them and match making?" The two who were targeted paled at the thought of Mashiro playing match-maker and they made this obvious, "NO/NO!"
Mashiro of course found the idea wonderful, "Yaaa-aaaahhh..." She went back over to her part of the building to talk to herself after groaning in disappointment. Kensei came out of the make-shift kitchen with a toothbrush in his mouth to see what all the noise was about. He saw that Shinji and Hiyori were being targeted for teasing this time Ichigo visited, he remembered that Lisa was the last target.

That's a wrap! Now, one review requested that I expand on the Uryuu and Ichigo friendship. I did in the beginning, later on in this chapter I went to around the first episode's timing and had my way with it. Since Isshin was a Shinigami and their mother as a Quincy, Yuzu and Karin would be taught to defend themselves by Isshin since Masaki died before they could be taught in the Quincy techniques. The interactions between the Vizored and the Kurosaki family is because of Urahara's intervention of their deaths. Because Urahara saved the Visored and Masaki with special gigai, I thought it would be interesting if the Kurosaki's were tight with the Visored. Also, since Ichigo's actually a Hollow, and they have Hollow manifestations, they would be closer as friends as well as having the twins being taught what they could be without killing them. Hachigan is the gentlest of them and I saw him as a child friendly Kido teacher. Love, Rose, and Mashiro would be okay teachers, but they don't specialize in much besides zanjutsu. I got the Adjucha cat from Kabegami in Okami.
Because the Kurosaki's are close to the Visored and to some degree, Urahara Kisuke, Karin and Yuzu would find having a Shinigami very irking. since those they're close to were almost killed by Soul Society. The Bakudo I used was relatively simple, while having Hachi as a teacher meant he would more than likely teach his own barrier to them. I think I also made their family a little closer knit than they were in the manga/anime, without the secrets being kept from the children they could grow up and learn faster than the canon version.
I'm starting to monologue, so SEE YA!
