Chapter 1
Last Time:
Ichigo and Rukia were still a little bit shocked from their meditation, but they knew that they had to keep their daughter safe.
The barrier was still up and somone was knocking on it. Ichigo and Rukia looked at each other because knew they had to get rit of the DNA test that proved that Hina was their daughter and to keep her safe. So Ichgo handed the DNA test stick to Rukia who decide to destory it by using kido. Then Ichigo opened a barrier door to let the person in and the next thing he knew Rukia's fist went flying at the face of the man. Who happened have her brother and Lt. Abria with him.
Ichigo sighed and said in a tone of noblity, "I suppose he did deserve that."
Byakuya and Renji were stunned by Ichigo's tone but even more stunned that Rukia had just knocked out Kisuke.
"Why is a barrier up in here?" Renji asked curiously.
Ichigo just snapped is fingers and the barrier disappeared.
Renji was shocked that with the snap of Ichigo's fingers the barrier disappeared.
Rukia looked at Renji and said, "Regardless, of the barrier being here why are you and nii-sama here?"
"We detected a soul with spiritual power and couldn't find it until we came in the barrier." Byakuya said.
"I see and what do you plan to do with the person that has this spiritual power?" Ichigo asked curiously.
"We are to take them to the head captain." Renji said.
Suddenly Hina came up to Rukia and Ichigo and said, "Stupid pineapple."
"I'm not a pineapple, kid." Renji said looking at the kid.
Byakuya went to reach for the kid when Ichigo stepped in front of him.
"Kurosaki, why would you stop me?" Byakuya asked.
"Question for you, Lord Kuchiki. Would you protect a child?" Ichigo asked.
Byakuya was that Ichigo had said Lord Kuchiki instead of Captain Kuchiki; but he was confused by Ichigo's question.
Apparently, Rukia saw that her brother was confused by the question; so she decided to step in and said, "Nii-sama, Ichigo and I were dared to see if Ichigo and I could be parents to a child by Ichigo's father. This little girl is mine and Ichigo's responsiblity because to her we are her parents."
Kisuke was coming around finally to see a shocked Byakuya looking at Ichigo and Rukia.
"Did I miss something?" Kisuke asked finally.
"Nothing that is actually important to you." Ichigo said cool and calm.
Hina knew that tone in her father's voice all too well but didn't say a word.
Renji blinked in confusion at Ichigo's tone then he heard Ichigo say, "Lord Kuchiki, you never did answer my question."
Byakuya looked at Ichigo and replied, "I would protect a child."
Ichigo nodded to Rukia then Rukia said to her brother, "Nii-sama, reason Ichigo asked you that is because this young girl who is behind Ichigo is the one we both protect. In other words, we are acting like protective parents."
Renji was shocked at what Rukia had just said.
"The child must go to the Soul Society." Byakuya said.
"We understand this, Lord Kuchiki and that is why we will go with you as well." Ichigo said.
"Well this just got interesting." Kisuke said from behind his fan.
"As for you Kisuke, should you ever create something that could put a child in danger; wrath of the parents you will feel." Ichigo said looking at Kisuke as they left with Byakuya and Renji.
"Kisuke, you be a sciencist but think things thru before you let a child try it out." Rukia said following behind Ichigo.
Kisuke blinked in confusion at Rukia and Ichigo as they left with the little girl as well as Byakuya and Renji thru the Shikon gate. He also noticed that when Ichigo walked thru the gate that Ichigo was walking with nobility. He also wondered if Isshin had told Ichigo about his heritage of being a member of the Shiba Clan already; but he couldn't help and wonder why Rukia was standing by Ichigo's side as well as the little girl that would smile at Ichigo and Rukia while folding their hands. Then he recalled, that Ichigo had said that Isshin had challenged him and Rukia to see if they would be good parents; so he decided to go see his old friend, Captain Isshin Kurosaki that had married a Quinncy named Masaki Kurosaki and decided to take her last name.
...Soul Society...
Byakuya, Renji, Rukia, and Ichigo along with Hina stepped out of the gate. They were met by Captain Kenpachi who raring to have a battle with Ichigo.
"Captain Kenpachi?" Renji questioned.
"Ichigo, I'm challenging you to a fight now." Kenpachi said looking directly at Ichigo.
"I'm afraid not, Captain Kenpachi." Ichigo said suddenly.
"Are you afraid?" Kenpachi said.
"As much as I would enjoy sparring with you; I have something else to do that is very important." Ichigo said.
Both Byakuya and Renji were stunned that Ichigo turned down a sparring match. Then they watched as Ichigo dodged what appeared to be a ball of kido which caused Ichigo to cock an eyebrow.
"Sorry, captain." A young female soul reaper running towards them said.
"It's okay." Kenpachi said.
"I take it that this is the first time that a female soul reaper has been in Squad 11?" Ichigo questioned.
Kenpachi nodded.
"I'm sorry, sir that I nearly hit you with some kido." The young female soul reaper said to Ichigo.
"No harm done. However, I find that a young woman such as you is dealing with a lot since Squadd 11 is usually all male and comind you on how you handle yourself with a squad full of men." Ichigo said.
The female soul reaper was stunned that she was recieving praise from the sub-soul reaper.
Byakuya along with the others were stunned with the exception of Rukia and Hina that Ichigo had praised someone else. Then Ichigo began walking and Rukia plus the little girl followed him. Byakuya and Renji immedately followed because they had to take the little girl to the head captain. When they caught up with and Rukia as well as the little girl; they found them standing in front of Squad 1 which was where the head captain was located and Ichigo was speaking to the little girl in a different tongue. He watched as the little girl nodded her head and then hugged Ichigo and Rukia.
Both captains approached then Ichigo spoke to Byakuya, "Lord Kuchiki, we will remain outside but Hina will be in your care."
Kenpachi blinked at Ichigo's tone with Byakuya.
Rukia decided that the nobility tone of Ichigo's was giving a way to the truth that she decide to hit him.
"What the hell, Rukia?" Ichigo said rubbing his head.
"Good, you're back to normal." Rukia said.
"Huh?"
"Never mind, strawberry."
"Okay, Voilet."
Byakuya cleared his throat.
Both Ichigo and Rukia turned to face Byakuya to see what he wanted.
"Ichigo, what were you saying to her?" Byakuya asked.
"..." Ichigo was silent.
"Ichigo just told her that there was nothing to be worried about." Rukia said.
...Back In The World of the Living...
Kisuke went to go see Isshin right a way because he wanted to confirm something with him. He had a feeling that Ichigo was hiding something and Rukia was the only one that knew the truth. When he reached the Kurosaki household he heard a young girl shouting and he figured that must be Karin because she was like Ichigo at times. So he decided to knock on the door of the Kurosaki Clinic. He heard another female voice say, "I'll get it."
The door opened in front of him and there stood a young girl that favored Isshin's deceased wife then he asked, "Is your father here?"
"Yes and who are you?" Yuzu asked curiously.
Kisuke had to think of something quick because as far as he knew the two girls knew nothing about their brother being a soul reaper. By pure luck, Isshin appeared behind his daughter and said, "It's okay, Yuzu this is a friend of mine and his name is Kisuke."
"Okay, dad." Yuzu said letting the guy in.
"Isshin, I need to talk about somethings of the past." Kisuke said once inside.
Isshin looked at Kisuke for moment and noticed that he was serious about the conversation that they would be having; so he turned Yuzu and said, "Yuzu, why don't you and Karin go out for a while since Kisuke and I have some catching up to do."
"Okay." Yuzu said as she went to retreive her twin sister.
When Yuzu was out of ear shot; Isshin turned to Kisuke and asked, "What is this all about, Kisuke?"
"I was wondering if you have told Ichigo about his heritage from your side of the family?" Kisuke questioned.
"Not as of yet. Why?" Isshin asked curiously.
"Because he was starting to talk like a noble all of the sudden and on top of that a little girl that favors Ichigo and Rukia is with them." Kisuke said.
"WHAT?!" Isshin shouted in shock.
Both Yuzu and Karin rushed downstairs when they heard their father shout suddenly.
"Dad, is everything okay?" Yuzu asked worriedly.
"Dad, what's hat n clogs doing here?" Karin asked curiously.
"Everything's fine, girls. Why would you ask plus why did you call him hat n clogs, Karin?" Isshin said.
"I've heard nii-sama call him that before." Karin said pointing to Kisuke.
"We heard you shout and don't usually shout unless something has happened to nii-sama or when you are about nii-sama." Yuzu said.
Isshin just smiled at his girls and told them that everything was fine. He also told them that Kisuke was a long time friend of his and he was just telling him some news that shocked him.
"How do you know our dad?" Karin questioned Kisuke.
"Your father and I are friends from college." Kisuke said thinking of something on the spot like that.
"Wow, we have never met any of dad's college buddies before." Yuzu said with a smile.
