Bleach and all of its characters belong to Tite Kubo, along with almost everything else in this story.
"Speaking"
"Thinking"It had been a little over a month since they found out Mizuiro and Orihime were going to have a baby and time was really flying by. Rukia and Ichigo were also trying to have another baby so they would spend less nights at home, and sleep in another place while they were doing so. They would also help their friends with some things to, like Ichigo would help Mizuiro baby proof the house and fix the extra room into the baby's room. Rukia would help Orihime with her breathing exercises, as well as taking her out to eat. Karin and Hanataro were doing well, too. The team was undefeated.
"Hey, Mizuiro." Ichigo called his friend. "Do you miss Keigo?"
"A little bit." Mizuiro answered. "It's a little too quiet without him running around screaming his head off all the time."
"Yeah, it really is." Agreed Ichigo.
Keigo had moved away four years ago, and it still felt weird without him annoying everyone. Meanwhile, Karin and Hanataro were walking home from school and they were taking the long way home. They didn't say much to eachother. They were both lost in thought as they walked along the street. He looked at her and thought about the last two and a half years with her. He watched her grow from a scary, tomboyish, short tempered control freak, into a beautiful young woman, Even though she was still tomboyish, short tempered and scary, and still a little short tempered, too. But she was more calm now, and a little bit more in tune with her girlish side, even though she still dressed like a boy most of the time. The few times he had seen her in a dress was at Ichigo and Rukia's wedding, and at Mizuiro and Orihime's wedding. She looked beautiful in that dress. The first day he met her he was scared of her, and she knew it. She would try to scare him every chance she got, and would pick on him, too. She would make him cry sometimes because he was so easy to mess with. And he would always fall for the same tricks, all the time. Rukia and Ichigo would tell her to stop, but she never listened to them and did it anyways. But as time went on, he watched as her body changed, how she grew. Even though he was scared of her, he liked being around her. Her teasing also lessened over the years, and she grew attached to him as well. When she first met him she thought he was a girl, and he sort of reminded her of Yuzu. She was surprised when she found out he was a boy, and gave an evil smile knowing she had found a new plaything.
