Chapter 29

After the battle with Eiji, everyone celebrated the peace of the world. Of course, Hitsugaya got in trouble and Ren was much closed to being banned from staying in Soul Society but with the Soutaichou's and Byakuya's help and defence he was allowed to stay in the Soul Society with his entire family. Hitsugaya was given a punishment by the central 46 to be locked in his office for a decade but only certain visitors could meet him and can only leave the room for certain reasons, such as going to the bathroom, training and meeting. Ai and Ren kept going back and forth between the world of the livings and soul society, the same goes for Depsigh but Hudeo Munco instead.

"Man! I'm glad that this is all over!" Depsigh exclaimed as he put his arms behind his head.

"Yeah! And I'm glad that Ren could stay with his family together" Haru stated.

"And who knew he would actually reveal his other eye!" Ai added wanting to tease him.

Ren grabbed Ai's bare neck and glared at her, "What are you ashamed that you share the same eye as me?" He asked in a scary tone. From the day that Ren and Ai have returned from the battle, Ren has gelled his hair into the same hairstyle as Hitsugaya revealing his turquoise eye like Ai on his left. Due to his other eye, his popularity has sky-rocketed even more, same goes for Ai since she has joined the kendo club and caught a lot of attention from boys from other schools. Depsigh also gains a popularity among girls for working with Ren and Ai in their career. As the oldest among the four Haru smiled at her 9 years old cousins who are bickering behind them while Depsigh laughed at their antics.

"Alright you two break it up" Haru said and went behind them both, "Let's get going before we are late" and pushed them towards their school and Hideaki helped Haru in pushing Ren and Ai.


Hitsugaya sat behind his desk working on his paperwork and stopped halfway through and stretched arms. If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear some parts of his body making some cracking sounds, telling you how long he has been in his office. He picked up his cup of tea and took a sip of it, and turned around to look out of his office's window. "Hitsugaya-taichou, you have a visitor" A shinigami from the onmitsukido that was assigned to guard Hitsugaya called out. The door slid open and he looked up to see Karin with a basket in her hand.

"What are you doing here?" Hitsugaya asked as he stood up to greet her.

"I'm here to see you of course!" Karin replied angrily at the stupid question that Htisugaya asked. Hitsugaya shook his head and guided his wife to the couch and he went to go get more tea for her. Karin set the basket down and Hitsugaya noticed the basket, "What's in there?"

"Lunch" Karin replied bluntly. Hitsugaya nodded and placed her tea on the table and took a seat next to her. Karin opened the basket and took out some sandwiches that Hitsugaya loves and handed him one, Hitsugaya gave her a small smile and took it from her hands and ate it. A comfortable silence fell between the two as they ate their lunch together.

After eating, Hitsugaya pulled Karin close to him and hugged her, "Tosh?" Karin asked

"Hmmm?" Hitsugaya replied

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I'm just glad that…"

"That?" Karin asked with curiosity as she glanced at him.

"That we can finally be a true family" Hitsugaya replied as he looked back at her, Karin laughed at his statement and gave him a strong but a playful punch on his chest.

"Idiot" Karin said softly but nevertheless smiled, Hitsugaya saw her reaction and smirked. He then put Karin onto his lap which caused Karin to blush at his action, "W… What!?" She asked with a red face.

"Hey… there's no time limit of your visitation, and I won't be going home these days. And I miss you a lot" Hitsugaya said as his hand traced up and down motion on Karin's back which caused Karin to shiver with anticipation. He smirked at her reaction and pulled her face in and say "We still have some time before Ren and Ai returns" and kissed her lips before Karin could retort.


When Ren and Ai returned to Soul Society, they first went to the 10th division to meet their father, once they reached the door they saw the onmitsukido shinigami with a slightly red face. They shrugged it off and called out to him, "Ah! Yes?" He asked

"Can we meet our father?" Ren asked.

"Right" The shinigami cleared his throat and then called out to Hitsugaya "Hitsugaya taichou, your son and daughter are back from the world of the livings"

"Let them in" Hitsugaya replied, Ren and Ai opened the door and saw Hitsugaya at his desk working on his paperwork. "Hey papa" Ai called out

Hitsugaya hummed in response, stops his work and looked up at her when Ai continued "Why is the shinigami outside have a red face?"

Her question caused him to freeze and cleared his throat, "Who knows" was his reply before he continued his work. Ren and Ai looked at one another but shrugged it off thinking it was nothing and went to the couch. "Working on homework?" Hitsugaya asked without looking up at them

"Yip!" Ai replied enthusiastically

The twins started to work on their homework and at times the two of them takes a break and have some cool drinks that they went out to get. When they went back to their homework, Ren stopped and looked up at Hitsugaya.

"Tousan…" Hitsugaya stopped his work and looked up at Ren when he called out to him.

"You're not coming back tonight again right?" Hitsugaya's eyes immediately went sad when he saw the hope of wanting him to go home in their eyes, he sighed and got up from his desk and went to sit in between his children.

"I'm sorry, but not today as well" Hitsugaya apologized as he pulled them both into an embrace. Ren leaned against his side and Ai hugged him, after a few minutes of the hug between the three, Ai got up and looked at him. Hitsugaya looked at her with his eyebrows quirked up questioning her look of questioning. "Papa, why do you stink of sweat?"

"Are you saying that I cannot sweat through training?" Hitsugaya questioned back, Ai shook her head at his question and he smiled. "Well… then you two have homework to do right?" Hitsugaya asked and the twins nodded and went back to work the same goes for Hitsugaya who went back to his desk and worked.


The twins finished their homework and decided to walk around in Soul Society, as they walked towards the 6th division, Ren stopped at the gate and looked at the door with the kanji 6 on it. "Ren?" Ai asked when she noticed her brother stopped in his tracks.

"Ai… let's go visit Byakuya-sama" he suggested, Ai cocked her head in questioning but she saw how serious that her brother meant it and nodded. The twins walked in and walked straight to the captain's office, Ren knocked on the door and a "come in" called out.

Ren opened the door and saw Byakuya and Renji in the office working. "Yo! Ren Ai!" Renji greeted as he waved his hand.

"Yo!" Ai greeted back while Ren nodded back, he glanced at Byakuya who felt his gaze and looked up at him.

"You seem like you have something to say Ren" Byakuya stated

"Yes, Byakuya-sama. I need your help" Ren replied

Byakuya placed his pen down and gave Ren his full attention while Ai and Renji sat at the side watching the two. "Please make an appointment for me with the central 46" Ren asked, Byakuya's eyes went wide at his request even Renji and Ai but their mouths also fell open. It was silence after Ren's request and after a few seconds Byakuya regained himself and closed his eyes.

"Why?"

"Because there's something I have to tell them"

"If it's about Hitsugaya-taichou's punishment then forget it"

"Why?"

"Because they will not change their mind about it"

"How would you know?"

"It has always been like this"

Ren balled his hands into fists and clenched his teeth, Byakuya noticed his reaction and glared at him. "WE WON'T KNOW UNLESS WE TRY!" Ren exclaimed.

Byakuya raised his voice and shouted "HITSUGAYA REN! YOU MAY BE THE SON OF 2 WELL RESPECTED TAICHOUS BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHTS TO RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ANOTHER TAICHOU!" Renji gulped at the sudden rise in his taichou's reitsu and Ai gripped onto Renji's shakusho afraid of Byakuya for she has not seen this other side of him.

Ren calmed down and went on his knees and placed his hands on the floor and bowed his head "Please, Byakuya-sama! Please let me meet the central 46! We're finally back together as a family, I do not want them to be separating us for so long!" Byakuya looked at the boy who is begging for his help, he picked up his brush and went back to work. Ren heard the movement of Byakuya picking up the brush and has ignored his pleas, he bit his bottom lip from crying and thrashing; thefore he remained still.

"Ren…" Ai called out worriedly

"Tai… taichou" Renji said as he looked at his captain who sat there unfazed and ignored his look.

"Ren stand up" Byakuya ordered

"No, I will not. I will not give up nor stand up until you will help me with my request" Ren replied without looking up.

"Arabai" Byakuya called out, Renji stiffened and abruptly stood up, immediately saluted at Byakuya and went to Ren. He put his hand on Ren's arm to pull him up, but Ren pushed him away with his arm. Renji didn't give up and tried again and again, then on his 10th time of getting Ren up, a kido spell was set on him. Renji felt his arms being tied to his side and looked at Ai who did the spell on him.

"Sorry Renji-nii" she apologized and walked towards Ren and also went into the same position as Ren. "Please Byakuya-sama, please please assist us. Please grant this selfish wish of ours" she begged. Renji was at the side trying to break free of the kido spell that Ai has used on him. Byakuya closed his eyes and placed the pen down and got up, he walked to door ignoring the twins on the floor with their head low and slid the door open.

He took a step outside and said "Raise your heads Ren, Ai. I'll see what I can do" and walked away from the room.

Renji: A little help here anyone

Suariel: That's not in the script of the disclaimer! *Throws a brick at him*

Renji: *Barely dodged the brick* R... Ri... Right... Err... Please Review *softly whispers* and save me
