The fourth person was Tatsuki. Tatsuki is a teenager of average height with black hair and brown eyes. She has a contrasting appearance to her best friend Orihime Inoue. Tatsuki is boyish, and a very lean frame compared to Orihime's curvier figure. Her hair is short and dark, kept spiked out at the sides in tune with her less than feminine appearance. She usually appears in her school uniform or else her karate outfit while still training in school or at the dojo.
The other three who were Keigo, Mizuiro, and Chizuru was leaving which Naruto didn't really focus on as they were no longer with the group. He guessed that the ones that were still there were Ichigo's closest friends. Naruto was soon brought out of his musing by the one he remembered as Uryu.
"You may as well come out Naruto. I don't know why but you seem opted to following us to the roof which means you want something from one of us am I right? You could also tell the others to come out as well" The others in his group turned their heads toward him which Hinata and the others came out as well. Both sides got a good look at each other as if sizing each other down. Uryu then decided to break the silence.
"So what is it that you want from us?" Naruto looked at Ichigo more closely before asking a question to confirm something.
"Is Ichigo's mother named Masaki Kurosaki?" This got Ichigo's attention.
"Yes that's her name. What about her?" There was some agitation in his voice which the others sensed. This was not a topic he liked which the others knew.
"Did she ever mention anything to you about her twin sister?" This piece of information shocked him as he never knew anything about his mother having a twin sister.
"What do you mean twin sister and what does this have to do with me?" Naruto smiled before dropping the bomb.
"That's because your mother and my mother are twins which means that I'm your cousin. Uzumaki was your mother's last name before she married Isshin Kurosaki. If you don't believe me, then ask your father as he knows a lot about me. I came here hoping that we could re-establish our family as I currently don't have any." That last part caught his attention.
"What do you mean, what happened to my aunt?" Naruto paused for a second.
"She is dead along with my father." He though it was best that he said that she died rather than really tell him that a demon was ripped out of her in which would raise many questions which would consume too much time to explain. Ichigo had a thoughtful look. He then came up with an idea.
"Well if we are truly related, then why don't we all meet up where I could confirm whether or not what you said is true?" Naruto thought about before agreeing in which they would meet up after school. The bell soon rang which signified that class began.
After class ended, Naruto and his group followed Ichigo to his home. Ichigo's group had gone their own separate ways in which they told each other to meet up at school. As soon as Ichigo opened the door, his face was almost greeted with a flying foot if he did not lean back a little and allow it to pass harmlessly. This person was none other than Isshin. Isshin is a tall man with spiky black hair and brown eyes. He has thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks. Isshin wore a white lab coat over a shirt and trousers. Isshin got up from the floor in which as soon as his eyes landed on Naruto, all playfulness left his face which scared Ichigo seeing a serious face on his father.
"Hello Naruto it's nice to see you here and 'alive' which is odd considering the elders of konoha told me you died due to a fault in the sealing. But I can already see what happened. How about you staying over for dinner and telling me a little about your life." Naruto nodded but seeing as he had more people and the size of the home he made a suggestion.
"Is it ok for us to have the dinner over the Uzumaki compound? It is just outside the village which could fit all of us and have a lot of space left. Plus I have two others I would like for you to meet." Isshin thought about it before agreeing. He called down to people by the names of Karin and Yuzu which surprised Naruto as he never knew about Isshin having other children. The two soon came down in which the introduced their names. Karin had brown eyes and black hair that is straight and cropped to hang around her face, just above her shoulders. She wore sportswear, compared to her more femininely-dressed sister, with alternative shirts and trainers, giving her more of a tomboy appearance. Her eyes are large and dark.
Yuzu's appearance is in stark contrast to her sister's. Yuzu has short light brown hair, similar in color to her mother Masaki Kurosaki, with short bangs hanging over the right side of her forehead. Her eyes are a dark brown color and appear much softer and dresses more girlish when compared to her sister's. She also wore a red hairclip on the left side of her head.
They both saw Naruto and the others in which Isshin said something that shocked them as much as Ichigo when he found out.
"Karin, Yuzu I would like you to meet your cousin Naruto. Were having our dinner over their compound in which Naruto could you show Yuzu the kitchen as she is usually our family cook." Naruto nodded before heading outside to run into Anko driving a flashy looking 'van' as Naruto found that is what they called it. Seeing Anko as the driver made him pale in which temari and the others asked why. They soon got there answer when they all got in. The whole time they drove, the passengers which was the kurosaki's along with Naruto and his group all held on to each other hoping to live through the nightmare they were subjected to. They all silently agreed to never let her drive for them again. When they got there, Naruto noticed several men creating a garage and a walking path around the house.
Isshin and the others were busy looking at the houses or rather mansions that was there. These houses were 4 times bigger than their own. Naruto saw their faces and smiled.
"You know we don't actually live in all of those mansions. We actually use two of them thus leaving 4 available mansions. I've included everything that you need to survive along with its own funds. This is the family compound I've created so I would be honored if you take one of them as your own. You don't need to worry about bills as these places are has its own source rather than being powered by the town itself. Also our compound has its own hospital that also has its own power source which we don't really use so you could turn that into your clinic instead. We also have a spa area to relax at so maybe this could be your new homes. I could rename it to Kurosaki/Uzumaki residence so that we could be close to each other." Isshin thought about it before turning to his children.
"Karin, Yuzu, and Ichigo, what do you guys think about all this?" Karin was the first to speak.
"Well I don't see why not. I mean you do get a bigger clinic and bigger living quarters. Anywhere that involves us being together is home to me." Isshin cried anime style seeing Karin's soft side which was rare. She was always trying to stay strong for everyone thus she only showed a solid side of personality. Yuzu agreed with Karin leaving only Ichigo who just shrugged before asking, "When do we move?"
Isshin seeing that they didn't mind turned to Naruto before replying, "Alright, we'll move in one of your mansions." Naruto nodded and smiled at their choices.
"Alright lets head to where we are having dinner at which is where we could properly meet each other properly. How does that sound?" Isshin nodded before they all headed to the mansion where they would eat at. Naruto and Yuzu went to prepare dinner while the others sat back and wait. Yuzu, Naruto, and his shadow clones soon emerged with enough food for a feast. Ichigo, Karin, and Yuzu was shocked at the many Naruto's which showed Naruto that Isshin had not told them about their ninja part of their family which he knew he would have to now. He turned to Naruto as the food was sorted out.
"Alright Naruto I want to know a little about your life in konoha." Naruto thought about how to present it without going into too many details.
"Well it started off bad as I was an orphan and didn't have any people to look after me. I was hate for the burden my father placed on me which I didn't know at the time. So imagine how surprised I was when I discovered that my father sealed Kyuubi a demon fox's spirit in my body to protect a village and that people viewed me as the Kyuubi himself. I later found a way to release the demon from my body into the summoning world under the Uzumaki clan. I later got banished when they discovered my father's power. That is the general information of my life." Isshin nodded as he already knew about the sealing part. Ichigo along with Yuzu and Karin were shocked about hearing demons sealed away in their cousin. Ichigo voiced his opinion.
"How did they seal a demon's spirit inside your body?" Naruto looked at Isshin in which he nodded that it was ok that he could tell Ichigo about ninjas and how it was related to him. So for the whole night, Naruto explained to ichigo the basics on being a ninja and other things which made Karin, yuzu, and ichigo shocked about their family. They all got to know each other as well. Naruto then offered the three ninja training along with emi his sister. They got to know how they became sisters in which the kurosaki's looked at Naruto in new light for doing such a nice thing or in their opinion it was a nice thing.
After their dinner was over, Naruto along with Haku, Anko, garra, kankuro, temari, and emi helped Ichigo, Karin, and yuzu move into their new homes. Naruto of course told Isshin that he would have someone watch over that house as it was important to them. It was the place where Masaki wished to have her family so Naruto decided to keep it as it was and maintained its condition. He then told ichigo an idea to make that place into a hangout for him and his friends as it wasn't far from their school which he agreed with the idea. After the moving process, they all went to bed in which the kurosaki was once again surprised by the sheer size of the beds which all of them were master beds. They all went to bed to wait what would happen tomorrow.
The next day came and Naruto along with his group went to school along with ichigo where he later met up with his friends. Ichigo explained that they were indeed related but didn't bother mentioning the weird parts as it wasn't something to just say out of the blue. Naruto and his group soon got to now ichigo and his group a little more. It was there they found someone who was similar to each other. Chad and garra were the quite ones who spoke when they thought they needed to. Haku and Orihime had an innocent image around them. Temari and Tatsuki were similar through being tough girls who didn't take any crap from anyone. Ichigo and Naruto were headstrong in which they tend to rush head first into things plus the fact that they looked alike didn't help anything. Kankuro and Uryu were dubbed mysterious and creepy by Naruto which gained him a glare from said duo. The group laughed at their expense.
The group after class went to lunch again where they would have their discussion but for some reason today, ichigo kept staring off in the distance. Naruto saw this and decided to figure what was going on with him.
"Hey ichigo, are you alright?" This snapped him out of his deep thoughts. He waves his hands in front of him.
"Yeah I'm alright but I think I'll just head over to my old home for a while after class is over for today. I'll meet up with you guys later." Naruto did not push any further but he hoped his cousin was ok. Class ended soon in which ichigo went towards the direction of his old home. He didn't know why but he just felt compelled to go there. On his way there, he ran into the ghostly girl he would usually meet on his way to school. She ran by him really fast as if her life was in danger. And not even a minute went by when a big creature wearing a mask ran after her. This caused ichigo to run in that direction as well as if he had to protect that girl. He didn't know what he could of possible do but he wasn't worried about that right now. Just as he hit the corner where he was sure they would be at, he was greeted to a shocking sight.
A Short and petite girl, with pale skin, violet-colored eyes, and black hair, with one strand of hair always hanging between her eyes was seen battling the creature with a sword. Just as she sliced the creatures face a little, the creature backed up a little before vanishing. The black haired girl then turned to the little girl in which she tapped her forehead with the back of the sword. The little girl soon faded away which shocked ichigo as he did not know what actually happened to the little girl. He ran after the girl who had the sword only for her to jump away. Ichigo stopped at the spot where she stood and looked at the distance she jumped which amazed him. Maybe she was a ninja like his cousin but then again she didn't dress like one. He simply turned around and walked away going back to his original destination which was his house. It was there he sat there and thought about his past when his mother was alive in which in no time, sleep claimed him.
Night had just fallen when he was disturbed from his sleep by an intruder. He looked up to see the same girl that fought the creature. She seemed to be talking to herself.
"I have not found the creature yet but I have no doubts that he will show up later. They question is what is drawing that creature here." Ichigo seeing her ignore her presence spoke up.
"Hey you what are you doing here?" She continued mumbling to herself which pissed him off even further. He tried calling her once more before getting physical. He drew his foot back and pushed her forward hard. This seems to get her attention as she turned to him with a murderous glare. Ichigo just shrugged that off.
"I've been calling you for a while weirdo. Who the hell are you and what are you doing inside my family's home?"
"I'm doing my job you…..wait you can see me?" Ichigo looked at her like she was crazy.
"Of course I could see you. Why wouldn't I be able to idiot?" She did not have time to answer the question due to a scream which was familiar to ichigo.
"KARIN"
Before he could run, the girl said something which he didn't catch and his arms went behind his back and his feet went together which made him fall flat on his face. He looked up to see the girl charge at the same beast he saw today. He forced himself up on his feet and tried to break whatever invisible barrier that was preventing him from moving normally. He began pouring all his strength in doing that in which whatever barrier that stopped him broke. He soon charges ahead towards where his sister was and picked her up.
The beast was having a hard time with the soul reaper. He knew he would die if he continued to battle her but he did not like the idea of going down alone. He scanned his surroundings which he saw two people who weren't in a position to run or dodge his attack so he charged at them. The soul reaper seeing this cursed before running in front of his path to protect the human which proved to be a big mistake. The creature opened its mouth and bit down thus injuring the soul reaper. The soul reaper used the little strength she had to slash the creatures left eye which made him recoil for a bit. While the creature was stomping around in pain, the soul reaper turned to her last resort to destroy the beast.
"Hey you human boy, do you want to save your family?" he nodded in which she gave him the next instruction. "I want you to come over here quickly and do as I said." He moved close to her in which she began her explanation. "Take this sword and thrust it in yourself. This should give you the powers to defeat him."Ichigo went to her and gripped the sword.
"Well soul reaper, I guess I will have to do the protecting right now."
"It's not soul reaper. My name is Rukia Kuchiki."
"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and a nice to meet you Rukia." Ichigo then thrust the sword in himself just as she instructed him to do without hesitation in which the small blade he once held in his hand was now a large one. He came out of his body which was lying on the floor as if dead which freaked him out a little. He soon felt the power flowing through him. He looked down and saw that he now wore the same black robes as she did.
The beast had by now recovered and began charging again. Ichigo seeing what the girl was doing guessed what must be done thus he charged forward and sliced the beast across that face as she had done thus giving the beast a large gash which enraged the beast further more. He then heard her yell for him to slash the beast's face in half in which after charging, he did so which the beast disintegrated before his eyes. He looked back over to Rukia and saw her patching herself up. After she was done, she went over to ichigo.
"Well it seems I'm going to be stuck here for a bit but since you have my power then you'll have to take on my duty to cleanse those hollows." This did not bode well with ichigo.
"What do you mean my duty now? Don't you have a backup plan in case something like this happens? I have a life of my own." This pissed off Rukia.
"Well I didn't think I would run into a situation where I would have to save your ass after that stunt you pulled a while ago. You're lucky to be alive right now. I didn't have to give you my powers. Do you have any idea how much trouble I'm in, do you?" Ichigo was taken back by what she said as all this was true. Rukia seeing ichigo in thought added on to what she said. "Plus what about the innocent people who need me but due to certain circumstances, I wouldn't be able to save them from these creatures." Ichigo thought about it more and realized that she was right. He had her powers now thus it was only natural that he took on her duty. He also didn't like the thought of people getting hurt or worse because he prevented someone from their duty. He sighed before he did something he did not like but didn't have any choice in the matter.
"Fine but you will have to teach me more about my duty if I'm going to do things right." Rukia smiled at his way of saying he accepted his new duties.
"Alright but I will have to see someone now. Just write down the address where you live at so I could possible meet you there later." She pulled out a piece of paper and pen in which ichigo wrote down the information for her. She then turned ichigo back to his normal self in which his Shinigami robes went away before taking out an object in which she went to an unconscious Karin. She explained that she removed the events that took place away from her mind and replaced it with something else such as her going to the candy shop then coming here. After doing so, she ran off to her destination leaving behind ichigo to think about what just happened. He soon turned and went towards his new home after making sure Karin was secured in his arms.
When he got there, he placed Karin in her bed before heading off to bed himself.
The next day Ichigo and the others ate in silence. Yuzu, Karin, and Isshin was trying to figure out what was wrong with ichigo as he seemed deep in thought during the whole breakfast but no one said anything thinking whatever was on his mind would blow right over. After he finished his breakfast, he met up with Naruto and his group before taking off. He soon met up with Chad and the others in which the now large group made it to class. As soon as the class was seated, Yoko stepped in the classroom.
"Hello class, my name is Professor Yoko in which I'm betting you all know why I made that introduction. We have a new student today and her name is Rukia Kuchiki so come in." The doors opened and ichigo instantly recognized who it was. It was the soul reaper from the other night. But what was she doing here dressed as a regular student. He would soon find out during lunch.
Lunch soon came around in which he grabbed her and pulled her to the roof tops before asking her a question he's been holding on during class.
"What are you doing here dressed as a student?"
"I'm simple blending in plus I need to be close to you in case a hollow attacks you. I will be there to transform you in your soul reaper form. I won't be able to do that if I'm far away now would I?" He groaned at what she said. Before he could say anything, he group along with Naruto's group came up and started questioning her. Ichigo seeing her being overwhelmed by questions stopped them and told Rukia to introduce herself.
"Hello I'm Rukia Kuchiki as you all know. I'm a transferred student from another town. I ran into ichigo yesterday who was nice enough to give me a tour around the village so if you all wanted to know how we met, that's how." The others seemed to buy her lie except the ex-konoha Nins as they saw through it since they were trained in the art of deception which was a ninja's greatest tool. They did not see much of a threat in her though so they didn't dig into her lie. The others soon began introducing themselves to her as well. After they all got to know each other, Naruto decided to invite Ichigo's group along with Rukia over to their spa and maybe have dinner with them. They all agreed to the invite in which Naruto made a mental note to alert his uncle and little cousins.
As soon as class ended, Naruto met up with everyone outside of school in which they went towards the spa. A few of them used their cell phones to alert their parents before heading there. Before they began walking there, Anko pulled up in the van which made those who drove with her before gulp in fear. The ones who drove with her before declined and told her there wasn't enough room while Ichigo's group got in before Ichigo could warn them. As soon as the last one in shut the door, they soon found out why Ichigo and the others declined the ride as she slammed on the gas pedal. Ichigo sent them a silent prayer for them which made the others sweat drop.
They took the bus to the closest point near their home then walked the rest of the way. When they got there, Chad and the others walked up to Naruto and his group before declaring that they will never allow her to drive for them anymore as she was an insane driver. The two groups then took off to the spa in which the gaped at not only the size of the compound but the size of the spa building.
While they were looking over that, Naruto looked over his walkway and garage that Anko had someone create for them. He was snapped out of musing when one of the members saw the words mixed bath. Naruto didn't bother to turn to them as he answered them.
"I have three sections in which they are separated as a girls section, guys section, and a mixed bath section for those who want to relax together. If you don't want to come to the mixed section then you have the other two to head to. Let's go ladies." Temari and Haku went on both sides of Naruto before resting their heads on his shoulders. Orihime saw this and looked over at Ichigo wishing she could do the same thing but he was obvious to her feelings. Rukia on the other hand saw this and could only shake her head at his inability to sense how she felt about him. Tatsuki also thought about the same thing with ichigo. She liked him but did not do anything because her best friend Orihime had feelings for him. She would have to see if she could make it a way for all three of them to date each other. But in order for that to happen, she would first have to wait until Orihime and Ichigo got together. She moved up and grabbed both Ichigo and Orihime by the hands before dragging them to the mixed bath section in which Rukia followed in tow leaving behind Kankuro, Garra, Chad, and Uryu. Garra and Kankuro decided to give their sister space thus they headed to the male side. Chad and Uryu seeing Orihime and Tatsuki with ichigo also went to the male side knowing that Tatsuki would be trying to get Ichigo to see Orihime's feelings.
As soon as Naruto and the others that went to the mixed bath side, they all got dressed into swim suits. They soon got into the hot tub in which Haku and temari moved close enough before resting their heads on his shoulder. The others of course had an idea that they were dating due to their introduction in class except Rukia who just began figuring it out just seeing the way they act around each. Orihime and Tatsuki sat close to each other wanting to do the same to ichigo.
Twenty minutes passed when Haku got bored thus gave Naruto a light lick to his neck which surprised the others. She soon began sucking on his neck which made Naruto gain an erection. Temari not about to be outdone did the same to the other side of his neck. Rukia, Tatsuki, and Orihime soon felt horny. Orihime's hand began to drift a little to her lower region which Tatsuki saw and stopped her. She then reached down there and slipped her hands passed her clothes before slipping a finger in which surprised her and began pleasuring her a little. Ichigo didn't notice this happen but Rukia did which made her a little hornier. She soon got up and made up an excuse about being in the water for too long and left. The others stayed and watched. Ichigo for his part had an erection as well which he could not get down. Then images of him and Orihime and Tatsuki went through his head which he tried to shake those thoughts out of his head as he viewed them as his closest friends and didn't want to ruin that. Haku and temari stopped along with Tatsuki. Naruto after regaining himself got out of the hot tub along with Haku and temari. The others followed behind as well.
While they were heading out, Orihime began analyzing her best friend Tatsuki in which she never thought she would. What she did to her in the hot tub was both surprising and it felt good to her. Did Tatsuki like her more than a friend? She would have to find out at another time. Ichigo on the other couldn't believe he had those types of images of his closest friends. He cursed his raging hormones for causing that to happen. He began thinking of other things so he would forget what happened back there.
Naruto went to get the others in which they all went to where they would have dinner. As they sat down and had a family dinner, Isshin kept taking glances at Rukia. The ninjas picked up on this but ignored it as they did not see any lust in them but rather confusion. As to what he was confused about, only he knew. After dinner was over, Naruto and offered Ichigo's friends to stay at one of the mansions for a while. They accepted seeing as they would be able to walk to school together.
