Ichigo Kurosaki-Shiba sat by the main Senkaimon when Shunsui Sōzōsuke Captain of the 1st Division walked by, "Ichigo, Something on your mind!"

Shaking himself out of his musings Ichigo said, "I guess I'm wondering if he would be proud of what I've done!"

Putting his hand on Ichigo's shoulder Shunsui asked, "You mean… The Old Man"

Off to the side Yoruichi Shihouin-Shiba was holding her family back wanting to hear the answer herself as Ichigo said, "Yea!"

With a light smile Shunsui thought, The Old Man's opinion means a lot to him!

"Ichigo… you always made him proud of you"

"As one of Yamamoto Sensei's students I think I can speak for him telling you he thought of you as a son" Shunsui said

Starting to feel a bit modest Ichigo turned the lightest shade of crimson as Shunsui said, "Some of your antics… actually made him laugh!"

"Really!" Ichigo said somewhat amazed at the admission by an old friend.

"I have a question of my own!" Shunsui said, "He is the reason you formed your division the way you did, isn't it!"

"Yes" was the only word Ichigo said, "When I went to him asking for him to perform the ceremony"

Pausing slightly Ichigo said, "He told me a brief history of the Gotei 13 and what they were like, that was the inspiration!"

Yoruichi Shihouin-Shiba and her daughters Yoruichi Shiba and her sister Masaki and her son Kazui Shiba walk up. That's when Captain Shunsui Sōzōsuke noticed the twins saying, "I hear you two fooled instructors at the second division"

"Yea" Masaki said as her sister Yoruichi said, "We neeky" both girls giggle and Yoruichi motioned Shunsui closer whispering, "Daddy lose bet" … "Don't know what bet is but he lose it"

"We tell daddy we help find it"

Smiling at the twins Shunsui laughs as Kazui Shiba walks up to him, asking, "You teach me everything you know?"

"Want to be captain of the 1st do you!" Shunsui asked softly.

"Y-Yes Sir" Kazui said

"None of that, when its just me and you, call me Shunsui"


10 minutes later as the Shiba family step out of The Senkaimon, in the basement of Kisuke Urahara shop Kisuke started to say, "Kazui I ha… OFFH

Out of the corner of his eye Kisuke saw 2 simultaneous purple blurs as Masaki goes low sweeping out Urahara's legs as her sister Yoruichi jumps up then pushes off a standing rock and kicks Urahara in the chest with a side kick knocking him to the ground, his signature green and white striped hat rolls away from him. As Urahara comes too Little Yoruichi is sitting on his chest asking, "What you want wif my brover!"

Drawing her hand back ready to strike Yoruichi Shiba asks "You tell… What you want wif my brover!"

Looking to Yoruichi Shihouin-Shiba, Urahara looks for an explanation as his oldest friend is trying to stifle her laughter and failing and says, "Masaki, Yoruichi Shiba, you can let him up, he is an old friend of mommy's"

"The one sitting on your chest plans on being Captain of the 2nd" Yoruichi Shihouin said, "She is also my namesake Yoruichi Shiba!"

"Sorry Kisuke," She said, "They are very protective of their brother!"

Replaying he event in his mind Kisuke thinks, Did those 2 just Shunpo?

"They are… sooo your daughters Yoruichi." Kisuke said dusting himself off.

"Yes, they are" Yoruichi Shihouin said laughing.


5 minutes later In her mind Little Yoruichi Shiba heard That was quite the display of acrobatics' and fighting skill, little one.

"Quite the Te…" Kisuke began to say only to be cut off by one of Shiba girls

"Who say that!"Yoruichi Shiba said looking around causing Yoruichi Shihouin, Kisuke, and even Ichigo to look at her.

Turning on a dime Yoruichi Shihouin took a knee said, "Yoruichi, sweetheart did you hear a voice here"

Yoruichi Shihouin points to her daughter's head, on the verge of tears Yoruichi Shiba nods. Looking at Ichigo The look on Yoruichi Shihouin's face said, "I was hoping we would have more time!"

"What did the voice say?" Yoruichi Shihouin asks softly.

"He say!" Yoruichi Shiba was having problems finding the words.

In his mind Ichigo heard Zangetsu, Say, Ichigo her Zanpakutō!

Taking her daughter in his arms Ichigo said, "Do you know why I named you after your mother!"

Yoruichi Shiba shook her head as her father said, "Because she is the bravest women I ever met!"

"Do you remember the man you saw me sparring with two days ago"

Yoruichi Shiba nodded as Ichigo said, "He is my Zanpakutō spirit!"

"Like a ghost!" Yoruichi Shiba asks.

"Yes baby" Ichigo said, "He is going to come out and talk to you!"

I am not a ghost, In his mind Ichigo heard Zangetsu, say.

Zangetsu she is 3, Ichigo thought as Zangetsu materialized next to Yoruichi Shiba and lifts her only a boulder saying, "The voice you heard was your Zanpakutō, spirit, much like your father your willingness to defend those you care about, got its attention!"

"When you jumped from the ground to the boulder then from the boulder to Kisuke Urahara… that was pure instinct!" Zangetsu explained

"What Intict" Getting semi flustered because she can't say the words, she wants to Yoruichi Shiba asked, "What that word mean"

With a light chuckle Zangetsu said, "It means you did not think about protecting your brother you or your sister, you acted without hesitation."

Off to the side Kisuke Urahara is thinking, She is young but her father's accomplishments

Zangetsu looks right at Kisuke, Zangetsu said, "Mr. Urahara when it comes to fining your instinct there are no age limits... they develop when they develop…"

"I only meant she is a prodigy" Kisuke said sheepishly.

"No, I Yoruichi Shiba" Chuckling the girls comment Zangetsu said, "He means your very smart for your age"

"Oh" Yoruichi Shiba said turning crimson asking, "Mr. Getsu"

"Yes" Zangetsu asks.

"How I make my pakutō come out!" Yoruichi Shiba asks.

"Easy, accept it as part of you!" Zangetsu

"Okay" Yoruichi Shiba said eagerly

Turning to Kazui and Masaki Zangetsu said, "When we return to Soul Society we can begin!"

"For now, practice the meditations your mother has shown you"

Yoruichi Shiba jumped down and ran to her mother, whispering something to her.
