Alright, I have successfully adopted My Father Isshin from 9foxgrl. I will try my best with this. I will live up to your expectations! Okay, here it goes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Bleach. Neither do I own the original idea for this fic, but from now on I will own the stuff I add onto it.

Chapter 6: Quality Time

Back in Japan, Isshin laid down the ground rules for Haru's, well, grounding. "Your summer activities will go completely undisturbed. In fact, you'll never even notice you've been grounded at all. Instead, you get quality time with your dear, old dad!"

The rest of the Kurosaki family looked at him in utter shock, jaws dropped to the floor.

"It's obvious that these crazy stunts were a desperate cry for attention. Well, you'll get all the attention you need, son!" Isshin sobbed, as he reached for Haru.

Haru then began to back away with his arms out in front of him in an attempt to block his father's exuberant display of affection. "It wasn't a cry for attention! I was trying to stop a madman from gaining immortality! You really don't have to follow me anywhere. Really. Why don't you just ban me from video games, or make me do all the chores? I could…re-shingle the roof! Or…or…alphabetize your outdated wardrobe."

Of course, Karin had to add in her two cents. "I think it's a great idea. Maybe you could sign up for that father and son baseball league."

"Karin, don't be so mean," Yuzu chided.

"C'mon, Yuzu. The more time he spends with Haru, the less time he has to bother us."

Haru turned a nasty look on his sister. "Traitor!" He turned to Ichigo and pleaded, "Aren't you going to help me?"

Ichigo rubbed the back of his neck, shrugged, and said, "Karin has a point."

Haru stopped struggling in his father's tight embrace. He stared emotionlessly at his siblings and flatly stated, "You are all dead to me."

"You don't need them, son. You have me. Oh, we'll have so much fun together. I know! Let's get matching outfits!"

Karin snickered and said, "I think the t-shirts should say, 'I'm with stupid'."
