Rukia and Ichigo cam home from their dinner with Renji and Rangiku.
"Wow Ichi, I'm stuffed!"
"You should be. Do you realize how much you ate?. I think in all the years that I have known Renji, that is the first time I've ever seen any one out eat him."
"Hey I'm eating for two!"
He laughed.
"Other than being stuffed how are you feeling?"
"Good, why whats up?"
"Well I told my dad that we would come by and let him see the pictures remember?"
"Oh, well we can go now if you want."
"Okay them we can come home and relax."
"Okay."
They took that pictures and headed over to Isshin's house, As usual the visit was interesting. Both Karin and Yuzu were happy to finally get to see the baby. Isshin snatched the pictures form the girls and ran to the poster of his late wife screaming about their grand daughter. Rukia laughed as he leaned closer to Ichigo.
"You know, as many years as we have been together, that never gets old!"
"Tch, says you."
Rukia just laughed harder. Her father in law really was a piece of work. They waited for things to calm down a bit and they stayed to visit a little longer.
"Alright guys we are going to head home."
"Okay we will see you guys later then."
They said there goodbyes and headed out the door.
They had been home for a while when the phone rang. Rukia smiled.
"I got it."
She walked into the kitchen.
"Hello... Oh hey Ran... Yea we only just saw you a little while ago remember?...Oh that sounds good, let me ask Ichi..."
She walked back into the living room.
"Hey Ichi, Ran wants to know if you want to stay with Renji tomorrow. She wants to come and stay here for a girls night."
Ichigo thought to himself "Thank you Renji!" He smiled at her
"Sure that's fine."
She smiled and went back to her conversation.
"Hey, yeah he'll go over there. What time are you coming over?. Okay sounds good, see you tomorrow Ran."
She hung up the phone.
"Thanks Ichi."
"What ever makes you happy Midget. Besides Renji is my best friend, I don't mind hanging out with him."
She nodded
"You ready for bed Berry?"
"Yea. Lets go."
he picked her up and carried her into their bedroom. He put her down on the bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. She came in to do the same. He changed into some sweats while she finished cleaning up. He laid down and started to think about what was going to happen in less than twenty four hours. He was pulled from his thoughts when she laid down. He reached over to pull her closer and she snuggled into him. He kissed the top of her head.
"You know that I love you more than anything in this world."
"I know Ichi, I love you too. Always have always will."
He smiled as her words sank in
"Good Night Midget."
"Nite Berry"
Content, they both fell into a peaceful sleep.
They woke up the next morning to the phone ringing. Ichigo rolled over to answer it.
"Hello."
"Good morning Ichi."
"Oh good morning Yuzu."
"Did I wake you up, I'm sorry."
He looked over at the clock, seven thirty.
"It's fine what's up?"
"Do you and Rukia want to have breakfast with us?"
"Sure, don't you have school today?"
"No there's no school today. We will eat in about an hour."
"Okay we will be there"
"See you later then Ichi!"
"See you."
He hung up the phone and gently shook his wife awake.
"Hey Midget, time to get up."
"Uh, why? It's seven thirty in the damn morning!"
"Yuzu's making us breakfast."
She quickly woke up
"Good I'm starving!"
"Really, after everything you ate last night?"
"Shut it strawberry short cake!"
"Rukia!"
He chased her into the living room.
"Okay I'm sorry!"
She went into a fit of laughter as he caught her.
"You better be. Come on breakfast will be ready soon."
"Can we go in our jammies?"
"Of course, it's just my dad's house."
They got into the car and headed to Isshin's.
As they sat eating breakfast, Ichigo realized how nice it was to be around his family even if they are crazy. He knows that with what they had planned for tonight, if things didn't go well this would be the last time that he would be with them for a while. He was brought our of his thoughts by Rukia's phone ringing.
"Hello... Oh hey Ran...Well we are having breakfast with Ichi's family... Yea we will be home in a little while, I'll call you when we get home... Okay, bye."
She looked at Ichigo.
"She was wondering where we were. She is ready to come over."
"Okay. We should be done here soon."
They helped Yuzu clean up all the dishes.
"You ready Midget?"
"When ever you are."
"Hey guys, thank you for breakfast. We are going to go. Rukia has company coming over."
"Alright we will see you guys later then."'
They hugged the girls and said goodbye to Isshin. They got in the car and headed home.
"So what do you and Ran have planned."
"Nothing really. We are just going to wing it like always."
"You sound like me and Renji"
She laughed and pulled out her phone.
"Hey we'll be home in like two minuets, so you can come when ever you want... Hang on I'll ask him."
She looked at her husband
"Ran says that Renji is bringing her over. Do you want to go back with him or are you going to take the car?"
"I'll go with him."
"Perfect..Okay Ran he'll go back with Renji... Okay see you in a few."
She hung up the phone as they pulled into the drive way. Ichigo unlocked the door and they went inside.
"Do you need help with anything? I'm gonna go get my shit ready before they get here."
"Nah, I'm good go ahead."
He walked into there room to pack what they needed. Everything that he needed for their "job" was already at Renji's. He finish packing and put his bag by the door. He then plopped down on the couch next to Rukia. Almost as soon as he did, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in"
"It's locked."
"Use your key!"
They heard the lock click. A few seconds later Renji and Rangiku were standing in their living room. Ichigo looked at his friend.
"Fuck you're stupid sometimes!"
"Shut the fuck up, I just forgot I have a key!"
Everyone laughed.
"Are you ready, I have some shit that I have to take care of."
"Yea my bags are by the door, just give me a sec."
Renji understood and looked at Rangiku.
"Hey Babe, walk me outside?"
She smiled and followed him out.
Ichigo looked at Rukia.
"Okay Midget I will be back in a couple of days. I love you Rukia."
"I love you too Ichi. Have fun."
He smiled
"Yea"
He kissed her and turned to leave.
"Call if you need me."
"I'll be fine."
"Okay, bye love."
"Bye Ichi."
He walked outside leaving the door open. As he walked out he was greeted by the sight of his two friends making out.
"Fuck, get a room you two!"
Rangiku broke the kiss and gave Renji another quick peck.
"Aw, is Ichi-berry jealous?"
"Yes, cuz I wanna make out with Renji. Rangiku gasped "I Knew it!"
Shut up Ran. Take care of my wife."
"Will do Berry!"
She smiled and walked back into the house. Once she shut the door both of the boys got into the car.
"I'll call everyone when we get to my place."
"Thanks Renji."
The drive to Renji's didn't take long. When the got to the house Ichigo got out of the car and grabbed his bag. Renji already had his phone out calling their friends. Since Renji called Ikkaku he knew that Yumichicka would get the message since they live together. To save time Ichigo decided to call Shuhei.
"Hey Shu, it's me...Yea we are at Renji's place, go ahead and come over as soon as you can...Yea...Okay see you then."
Renji hung up the phone and looked at Ichigo.
"Ikkaku and Yumi will be here in twenty minuets."
"So will Shu."
"Okay, lets head inside."
They sat and waited for their friends.
"Ichi are you okay?"
"I'm as good as I can be for someone who's wife if five months pregnant and about to commit a felony."
Renji just shook his head. He was about to say something when they heard the front door open. As they looked over they saw their three friends. Yumichicka shook his head.
"Sorry Renji, I told them to knock. Their behavior can be so ugly sometimes."
"It's fine Yumi, I'm glad you guys are here."
Ichigo nodded.
"There are a few things that we need to set straight. First off, Shu, where is the car now?"
"It's in an old abandon warehouse at the edge of town. You know the one where Kensei and his gang used to hang out."
"That's perfect, I want that to be our meeting point. Once we are done with the car, we can just leave it there."
Renji nodded and looked at the rest of the group.
"And I think that it would be best if Yumi doesn't come inside with us."
"That's a beautiful choice!"
"It will make it easier to get away."
Ichigo looked over at Ikkaku.
"Okay Baldy, we are going to let you handle Kenpachi."
Their bald friend started to dance around.
"I'm lucky! I'm Lucky!"
"Why are you lucky?"
"Because I get to nail that bastard!"
Ichigo shook his head
"Remember you are only knock him out not kill him."
"Yea Yea I got it."
"Okay, so them once Kenpachi is down Ikkaku drag him inside, the the four of us will go in. I want the door locked. Then the three of you get what you can from the guest. I will head strait back to the office and get whats in the safe."
Renji nodded.
"Get what we can and get out."
Yumichicka cocked an eyebrow.
"You know, you two make this sound easy."
"It's not. But we just want to make this as simple as possible."
They still had a few hours before there plan went into motion, They spent the next three hours trying to make sure that their plan was a full proof as possible.
"See Ichi, I told you we will be fine."
Ichigo nodded and looked down at his watch.
"We still have time before we have to go. I guess we could relax."
"That the spirit Berry!"
Ichigo let himself relax a little. What could go wrong right?
