The long afternoon was slowly taking a great toll on the people in the amusement park. Most of them already grew exhausted from all the entertainment and activities. Others felt like leaving and calling it a day. And that included Ichigo's family. "Man, I'm gettin' pretty worn out and bored now", said Karin, having a dull expression and both hands placed behind her head. "We basically did just about everything". She walked lazily beside her sister, Yuzu, who was licking her chocolate chip ice cream. She wore a pale yellow sleeveless summer dress, white flip flops, and a white sunflower hat. Karin wore blue jean shorts, a white halter top, and red flip flops that matched her red cap.

Yuzu nodded and replied. "I know what you mean. I seem to be running out of ideas myself. Wanna get something else to eat?"

"Naw, not yet hungry. I ate my hot dog only three hours ago".

"What do you think Ichigo's doing right now?".

Karin shrugged. "Knowing Ichigo, he's obviously still scowling around with the gang. He only made this day happen is because of Orihime".

Yuzu smiled and nodded again. "You're right. I just hope he's not acting too grouchy around her. She's lucky to have friends that want her to have fun".

"Well one thing's for sure....." Karin paused and stopped walking, turning around to see a man with a huge bag of prizes running towards them. "She's lucky she don't have to hang around with this psychotic old geezer", she grumbled.

The ever proud and cheerful father, Isshin, finally caught up to his daughters through the outrageous crowd. He stopped in front of them, bending down and dropping the bag on the ground to catch his breath. "Oh there you are, my darling little girls!", he cried relieved. "Your loving, worried father thought he'd never see his angels again! How cruel of you to leave your old man sick with fear and concern and---". Karin silenced Isshin's ridiculous ranting with her foot stomped hard on his skull. She rolled her eyes.

"Cut the crap, you clown. We've been seperated by the crowd for only two minutes! We knew you were behind us". Isshin shed playful tears of fascination over Karin's strong fatigue.

"Oh such amazing strength coming from my little girl! I've taught you well, Karin. Just like I've taught your brother". Karin let out an annoyed groan while Yuzu sighed, never understanding why her siblings fight with him. Karin released Isshin for him to stand up.

"Enough with the foolishness, Dad. Come on, let's find Ichigo and the rest and see if they're ready to go".

"What, so soon?", Isshin asked surprisingly. "Why feel the need to leave when you can spend more time with your great ole' pops!"

"That's part of the reason!", she hissed. "You're driving the both of us nuts. Besides, we've done almost everything here. There's nothing else to do".

"On the contrary, my dear! There's always new expectations to discover in a carnival! This place is full of surprises you'd never think to see. Now let's continue having fun as a family. And another thing....I'm gettin' hungry. Let's grab a bite to eat!", Isshin suggested as he rubbed his growling abdomen.

Karin crossed her arms and shook her head shamefully. "I swear Dad, nothing can tame that buffalo stomach of yours. You ate not two but three hot dogs not long ago, you obnoxious glutton!"

"All the more to get going now, Karin. Those delicious dogs keep callin' my stomach back for more. Now let's go!" Isshin happily led the way, whistling. Karin raised a fist with an irritate nerve strucked on her forehead, trying to compose herself not to hit him again. Yuzu seized her hand and smile nervously.

"Come on, Karin. No need to cause more scenes in public. You know how Dad is". Karin sighed and shrugged it off.

The three had to walk their way through the games arena to reach the food markets. Karin took her cell phone out of her pocket, dialing Ichigo's number. "I'm dialing Ichigo's number and ask where we can meet them when we're done", she stated. The other end ranged several times, but there was no answer. She shut her phone and place it back in her pocket. "Damn it, he probably left his phone on silent or can't hear it. That idiot". As they continued walking, a purple tent with a sign caught Yuzu's attention. Although Karin and Isshin walked past it without a care, Yuzu stopped and read the sign.

"Hey Dad, Karin, there's a fortune teller here", she announced. "We didn't see this tent when we were playing games around this area".

"Ah! Fortune telling! What a splendid idea!", Isshin exclaimed. He patted Yuzu's head. "Good work Yuzu, such a clever girl to find something fun for us".

"Thought you was hungry Dad", Karin responded sarcastically.

Isshin chuckled and flipped his hand. "Oh, alittle more fun won't hurt one's appetite. Now let's go!". He yanked on Karin's elbow, dragging her into the tent as Yuzu followed quietly. As they got in, no one was in the room except a table with two chairs. Isshin scratched his head. "Hmm. Must be the person's breaktime or something. Well, we can always come back after we're done eating!", he chirpped cheerfully.

"Not so fast", a woman playfully whispered in his ear. Karin and Yuzu jumped up, surprised to see her out of nowhere behind him.

"Dad! There's a lady behind you!", Yuzu screeched. Isshin quickly sprung around, but found no one there. The girls' eyes widen, not believing that the woman's reappearance vanished with a blink of an eye. Suddenly, Karin sensed someone behind her and picked up her cap off her head.

"Hey!", she shouted. She turned around to see the woman clearly, spinning her hat with her finger and smiling. Karin glared at her and snatched the hat roughly. "Give me that!".

Elisa laughed along with Isshin. "I must say ma'am, that was a neat trick. Didn't see that coming, did you kids?", he commented. Yuzu blushed and smiled sheepishly. Karin stared at Elisa annoyed.

"Please forgive my child's play behavior. I guess some habits become a part of you after doing them for so long. But welcome nonetheless", she explained. She walked to her chair and sat down. "So I assume you came here to know your destiny, correct? Well, you came to the right place".

"That's great! I told my girls it would be a good idea to come here. I just can't wait to see what these darlings and my son will do to make me proud", Isshin beamed. 'Hopefully his future will include him being in an institution finally, if nothing else', Karin thought. Elisa nodded.

"Very good. Then let's start it off with her. How about you come first, dear", she said to Karin. Karin shrugged and walked to the other chair and sat down. "Fine. Might as well get it over with since we're here. I'm guessing you don't charge?".

Elisa quirked an eyebrow. "Whatever do you mean by that? That's ridiculous, for my abilities are far from fake. You know, that boy with orange hair said the exact same thing".

"Orange hair...you mean my brother, Ichigo Kurosaki? He and the gang was here too?", Karin asked.

"You mean that stubborn, hot-headed boy is your brother? Along with that pretty orange hair girl? Meaning that you all are his family?", Elisa asked surprised. The three nodded and smirked.

"Yep, that's Ichigo alright. And yes, he and Orihime are amazing an item".

"Haha! That's my son! It still surprises me that he tricked a hottie like Orihime to be a part of this family!", Isshin added. Elisa smiled nervously.

"Oh....right....well, let's begin the fortune telling, shall we? Please give me your right hand". As soon as Karin offered her her hand, she began the meditation. After several minutes, she opened her eyes. "It seems that sports also run in this side of the family. Especially soccer, am I right?", Elisa questioned.

"Uh, yeah. How did you know I liked soccer?", Karin asked.

"I told you my powers are the real deal. It explains why I see you accomplishing at the Women's Soccer Tournament once you graduate with honors and a scholarship. Not to mention participating on another sports tournament show....". Karin raised an eyebrow.

"Really? I get to go to the nationals and Ninja Warrior? Well, that sounds great".

"Oh that sounds great!", Isshin cried. "That's my Karin! She's such a strong girl, she can do just about any sport! She's going to make Daddy proud in the crowd!" Karin rolled her eyes.

"No way are you coming with me Dad! You'll make me lose with your shouting from the crowd!" Isshin bowed his head down. "That's no way to talk to Daddy!", he wailed.

Elisa giggled and nodded. "Indeed. Now how about you come next, dear?". Yuzu smiled shyly and sat down at the table. She gave Elisa her hand and they meditated for a while. Ten minutes later, Elisa let go and smiled at her. "It seems you're more of a homemaker rather than sports, right sweetheart?", she asked. Yuzu blushed and nodded.

"Well, yes. I try to take care of matters in the household....just like my mother did", she replied. "That also explains you graduating with a degree in Culinary, and to start a family of your own".

Yuzu's soft brown eyes twinkled. "You mean, I'm actually going to be a wife and mother someday? Well that's wonderful! I'll get to be a devoted homeowner just like Mom!"

"Oh joy! My Yuzu is going to have kids! There will be grandkids on the way! Oh Masaki, our wishes have been answered after all!", Isshin shouted, looking up at the ceiling of the tent as a prayer to his late wife. Karin punched his arm.

"Yeah, and as the protecitive aunt, I'll be sure they are safe from you!", she added. She looked at Yuzu. "So I'm gonna be an aunt one day, huh? That's great, coming from Yuzu".

"Indeed, it is", Elisa replied. "But there's something else I want to tell you about Ichigo and my little 'connection link' I had with him". Everyone looked at her with confused expressions.

"What about Ichigo?", Isshin asked.

Elisa smiled and sat back on her chair. "As you know, Ichigo and the rest were here. As I looked upon his and that girl's future, I saw that they made the next level into their relationship. In other words, a beautiful wedding is involved in the picture. That's right, Ichigo and Orihime are going to be married". At first, there was silence in the room, no one moving an inch. Elisa tilted her head at Isshin, who stood as stiff as a stone. She wondered if he suffered from a stroke over the news. "Uh....mister? Are you alright?", Elisa asked, standing up and walking to him. "Is this not good news? Is something wrong----"

"YEEESSS!!! THE GODS ABOVE HAVE ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS!", Isshin screamed at the top of his lungs. He suddenly picked up Elisa in his arms, swinging her around in the room.

"Mr. Kurosaki! Please put me down! You're making me dizzy for a woman my age!", Elisa squealed. Yuzu let out a joyful laugh and hugged Karin. Karin embraced the hug, crossing her arms and smirking when she let go.

"Well, what do ya know....I knew that idiot's going to pop the question to Orihime someday", she said.

"Isn't this wonderful, Karin? Orihime's really going to be a part of this family!", Yuzu cried. "This is joyous news! Oh Masaki, we've prayed long and hard for Ichigo to find the love of his life, like I've found you! Oh praise the gods, there will be more grandkids to carry the Kurosaki name! Come kids, we must find Ichigo and Orihime and give them our blessings!", Isshin shouted. He finally placed Elisa down, who held her chest from her heart beating.

"Wait Dad, don't you think we should say goodbye to---whoa!!", Karin squealed as Isshin grabbed her and Yuzu's arms and ran out of the tent. Elisa watched them go, still catching her breath.

"Oh my...what a family", she said. "Orihime, you have my blessings. And good luck, for I know you're going to need it".
