"Life is really filled with twists and turns. In my life, I had some turns myself. I certainly wouldn't have thought that I would be taking the part of a translator for others. Who would have thought I have orange colored hair? No one also expected me to have such a beauty for a wife. By the way, my name is Ichigo Kurosaki. I'm married to an incredible woman named Orihime with a son named Kazui. I never would have thought my life would turn out the way it did, but it never really does for most people. You think when you're an adult and graduate from school, it would be all uphill from here. Well, it isn't."
"Okay. I think that's enough for today." Ichigo said as he finished the lessons. "I'm afraid have to run and pick my son up from school since." He gathered all his stuff together and was on his way. Ichigo made his way out of the building until he saw an old friend pull up in a cop car with a redhead driver.
"What's up, Ichigo."
"Hey, Renji. Made any arrests lately?" Ichigo said.
"Nope. Just another boring day. You on your way to pick Kazui up from school?" Renji asked. "I was on my way to pick up Ichika. Hop in and I'll give you a ride."
"I thought Rukia picks up Ichika on Friday." Ichigo said.
"She does, but she says there's something going on at the school. She says that a cop might be needed soon." Renji said. Ichigo didn't get what he was talking about, but he decided to hop in.
"Our kids go to the same school together, so we go up together and pick up our kids together. Life works in strange ways. Why am I telling you all of this? It's because it has something to do with what happened when I went to get my son from his fifth grade class."
...
The School
Ichigo and Renji got a lift to school where their kids go. Ichigo and Renji have been friends for a long time and got a long pretty well. Since they were such good friends, Ichigo's son and Renji's daughter ended up becoming friends. Once they arrived at the school, they did expect to see some kids and adults, but they weren't expecting to see the inside. They both walked inside and saw an entire commotion from the kids and adults.
"I now see what Rukia was talking about." Renji said as it sort of looked like something the cops would need to get involved in.
"Speaking of which, there are your girls." Ichigo said as he spotted a woman with black hair arguing with a young girl with red hair.
"Ichika, calm down." Rukia said as she was trying to get her daughter to settle.
"Calm down?! How can I calm down about this?!" Ichika said as she felt greatly disturbed. Something was clearly bothering her.
"Rukia!" Renji called and got his wife's attention as she saw the two of them walking over.
"What is going on?" Ichigo asked.
"Some idiot in this school thought it would be a good idea to teach these kids about sex." Rukia said. Renji and Ichigo couldn't believe it.
"What?! These kids are like ten!" Ichigo said.
"Exactly. A lot of the parents aren't happy about this. A lot of the kids are deeply disturbed. Hence why I thought it would be a good idea to get a cop down here." Rukia said.
"Dad, do you really do that with Mom? Is that how you made me?" Ichika asked. "Do you really have something between your legs?"
"Uh... Well... I..." Renji stuttered as he wasn't exactly sure what to tell his daughter about this.
"I'm gonna look for mine." Ichigo said as he looked around for his son. As he tried to find Kazui, he looked around and saw parents and children in a frenzy about this whole thing. A great example of how chaotic life can be. When Ichigo finally spotted his son walking through the crowd, he saw Kazui didn't look so pleased himself.
"We need to talk." Kazui said.
...
The Streets
"So apparently, men produce these cells called sperm while women have these cells called egg cells." Kazui said as all five of them were walking back to the apartment where Ichigo and his family live. Kazui couldn't stop talking about what he learned. "When the two of them actually come together inside the mommy, they start to form a baby. How the sperm got in there..." "Kazuis, please stop." Ichigo interrupted.
"You don't have to explain it to me. I know fully well how it works." Ichigo said as they all walked into his apartment building. "Kids your age shouldn't really be talking like that."
"Well, it's baffling. Why call it the birds and the bees? Why tell us that a bird delivered babies?" Ichika said. "This completely changes the way we see things."
"If I find out whose bright idea was it to teach these kids about sex without the parents' permission, I'm going to make sure he or she doesn't have children." Rukia whispered to her husband.
"Why are you three following me and Kazui home in the first place?" Ichigo asked.
"Like we're going to miss your wife's reaction when she hears about this." Renji teased. Ichigo couldn't believe this was happening to him. He thought his son should wait a few more years before hearing about this.
"I overheard a couple other students and parents talking." Kazui said. "They kept saying something about a mistake. Some kids kept saying they were a mistake, parents are saying they're not, others are saying that it was, and I just don't know what they're talking about. One lady said it was and wasn't a mistake when she had sex with this guy and I don't get why."
"Keep it that way." Ichigo said as they waited for an elevator.
"Dad, you might as well just tell me what it all means." Kazui said. "I wonder what some of the staff might think if they hear a ten year old talking about sex."
"How is having sex a mistake?" Ichika said. Wanting to keep their voices down before someone hears, Ichigo just told them.
"Okay. The mistake wasn't that. The mistake was that he got the lady pregnant." Ichigo said. "There are some "procedures" that people take to avoid getting pregnant and have children. Since they didn't do any of that, it is considered a mistake because she ended up getting pregnant when she probably shouldn't have." When Kazui heard that, a scary thought came to mind.
"Was I one?" Kazui said.
"No, no, no. It's different when you're married." Ichigo reassured. "Your mother and I did it the right way. We got married, then we had you." Renji and Rukia made sure that Ichika was the same as Kazui. When the elevator came down, they all got inside and went up the Kurosaki apartment. Ichigo's wife, Orihime, was in the middle of washing dishes and expected their arrival and soon heard the door open.
"Hi, everyone. How was you day?" Orihime asked.
"Mom, do you and Dad still have sex?" Kazui said. Orihime practically dropped a plate on the floor when Kazui asked. She nearly fell over herself. During dinner, they explained to Orihime what was going on. She couldn't believe it herself.
"How could the school even discuss that without alerting the parents about this?" Orihime said.
"I know, right?" Rukia said.
"Mrs. Kurosaki, since you're a nurse, you know all about this sort of thing. Right? I've heard of these things called STDs." Ichika said.
"Ichika!" Renji said as she shouldn't be talking like this. While the two kids were trying to enjoy dinner, Kazui's mind was still thinking about the whole thing.
"There is one thing about all this I do want to know." Kazui said.
"Kazui, please just stop talking about this." Ichigo said as he was uncomfortable about this whole thing.
"This whole thing has me wondering about how you and Mom really met, Dad." Kazui said. That certainly wasn't what Ichigo was expecting.
"Really?" Ichigo questioned.
"Yeah." Kazui confirmed.
"Ooh. This sounds like it could be good." Renji said as he can just picture how Ichigo is going to squirm about this.
"I'm sure you know the story, Kazui." Ichigo said.
"No. You and all the other parents say the same thing." Kazui said. "You say you met, you fell in love, and had me. I want to know the real and truthful story about you."
"This does sound like it could be interesting." Ichika said. "I want to hear that story myself."
"Please, Dad." Kazui pleaded. Ichigo was having a hard time dealing with this because he believes his son is too young for this. At the same time, he knows his son wasn't going to drop this until he heard the story.
"Fine. You want to know?" Ichigo said.
"Yeah." Kazui said.
"You really want to know?" Ichigo said.
"Yeah." Kazui said.
"Fine. I'll tell you the real story about how I met your mother, BUT let's make this interesting." Ichigo said with all of them already interested. Ichigo thought since his son was so smart and is already learning about sex, he make this a little more fun. A little payback as well for getting tormented with his son talking about this. "I am changing your Mom's name and appearance because there are actually two other women involved. You have to figure out which one is really your mother using your keen intellect."
"Ichigo, you don't have to do this." Orihime said.
"Well, if our son thinks he's ready, there's no reason why I can't. This way, he'll also pay attention to the story." Ichigo said.
"Sounds like fun. I want in on this." Ichika said.
"Come on, Dad. Tell us." Kazui said as he was really interested now.
"You asked for it." Ichigo said. He's going to tell his son the true story of how he and Orihime met, but he's making it a game for Kazui to find out which one is really his mother. Can Kazui figure it out? Can you figure it out?
