Previously:

Akira laughed lightly when he remembered her first attack on them, "Unfortunately for her, you have the fastest reflexes ever." He moved his piece, "So when are we going to let him know?"

Ryuu chuckled at his youngest question, "I will give him a call to let him know we have made a decision after dinner. Right now I need the two of you to put away Sorry and get ready to eat. I am going to go get the rest." As the father got up and left he could see both Kanna and Akira putting away Sorry after marking their places on a piece of paper so they could continue their game on a later day.

Now:

Matsumoto sat next to Kanna as they ate dinner, the twenty year old looking young lady was asking questions about Soul Society before it all went crazy. The red head happily told her all about the shenanigans that she would get into with Toshiro as her captain. "Oh, he just hated it when I threw parties at his office."

"After seeing how he is in person I don't doubt that." The green banged female replied.

The red haired Soul Reaper laughed at that. When she mellowed out she asked tentatively, "How is he now?"

"Due to him imprinting on Kensei he doesn't act like a full adult anymore. In fact Kensei is brining out a few childlike characteristics in him, though he displays them in a more mature manner. I guess not everything can be pushed away after having that personality for as long as he has." Matsumoto smiled around her spoon as she ate, "He and Akira butt heads every now and again due to their drastic personality differences. It is fun to watch, even Dad laughs."

"And let me say it is super fun to argue with him." Akira chipped in with a large smile, "It's like we are a comedy skit."

The blue eyed Soul Reaper laughed lightly, "I can see you doing that to the captain to be honest."

"So, what was he like as a captain? I bet he ran a tight division." Ryuu asked leaning on his hands.

"Oh, very much so. He had the men working out at least four times a week. You can never be too careful he used to say." She smiled, "When he was gone I tried to run it like he would have but…" She shook her head, "…I am no Captain Hitsugaya. The men just simply didn't listen to me like they did him. They were mad at everyone else for turning their back on him."

"That's a good division he has backing him up. Did they at least listen to you?" The oldest Mythical Hollow asked leaning back to eat some of the soup his children helped Tessai make.

"Yes, they did. They had respect for me and helped within the office as much as they could." She laughed, "They even took turns to cleaning the office like the captain was coming back any day."

"Wow that is really cool, how loyal your men are to their captain." Akira said with a large smile.

"What can I say, Captain Hitsugaya has earned it. He went through a lot to gain their respect when he first stared and it has only their respect for him has only gone up from there." The female red head sighed, "Do you think he will ever want to talk to me?"

"He will." Matsumoto's blue eyes looked at the youngest male Mythical Hollow in the room. Akira smiled, his bright blue eyes practically shining, "He may be a bit cold and hard to get to know but I bet once you have gotten past his walls, and you show that you care for him he will always find a way to get himself ready to do anything. Even talking to you despite what ever has happened."

"Akira's right, and at least you are showing remorse for what has already happened to him. He just has to know you really do care about him." Kanna agreed with a large smile.

The Soul Reaper smiled, "Thank you, your words mean a lot. So Akira, have you gotten past his walls yet?"

The young brunet shook his head though he still had a small smile, "No, but that just means I have to try harder to figure out how."

"Maybe that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to get in his face the first time you met him." Ryuu said amused while his youngest pouted at him, "Young Hitsugaya had to take his time to get to know us before he opened up. You still need to learn to calm down and take your time with people like him. Not everyone likes high energetic people upon first meeting."

"Daddy, why are you so mean to me?" Akira pretended to cry only causing everyone at the table to burst into large fits of laughter, he couldn't help but join in on. He looked at his father smiling ear to ear.

The light brown haired male shook his head at his son's smile, "You are a serious mess. How do I put up with you?"

Bright blue eyes blinked then he smiled, "Maybe because I am the best son you have ever had."

Urahara laughed loudly, "You are his only son."

"Exactly!" The boy said with his pointer finger in air, "That is what makes me the best. I am number one!"

Rangiku giggled and looked laughingly at Ryuu who was glaring playfully at his youngest child, "He really is funny."

Akira looked at her, his eyes practically shining with glee as his father replied, "Yes, and he had to imprint on me of all people." The red haired Mythical Hollow looked at his dad with a smile, "You keep that thought to yourself. One word out of you and I will trap you in the corner like I used to do when I needed to punish you." The teen made a zipping motion over his mouth then went back to eating as if he didn't do anything wrong, "Scrawny little brat."

The strawberry blond laughed, "You really have him on the ropes don't you?"

"Well he was my quote 'problem child' with all of his crazy amounts of energy that comes seemingly out of nowhere. I swear even when he doesn't eat sweets he still acts like he is a child that did. The only thing I can contribute it to is his Mythical Hollow, which is surprising since I didn't think this kind of mythical creature would be this energetic." Ryuu responded looking at Rangiku in the eyes while pointing at Akira watching him with energetic eyes with his thumb, "What makes it worse is I know he can control himself he just doesn't do it unless I say something at the time of whatever happens, happens."

"Basically, he is like a child that just doesn't seem to grow up." Yoruichi added, rather amused. Akira was her favorite out of Ryuu's children. He was himself no matter what happened to him. Heck, she could tell that despite the Ryuu's complaints it was enduring to him that his child was himself no matter what. She was just scarred of the thought of a situation actually getting to him. Akira was such a sweet and friendly person there was no telling what would happen if he were to act any different. She turned her eyes to Ryuu talking with Rangiku. It had been a while since he could talk about his children the way he was at this very moment it must be refreshing to him. While the two of them were his life he never talked to another woman, other than her of course, the way he was now. He seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself. Reguardless of what he decided to do Rangiku would be a really good friend to him.
