Hey people!! Hope you enjoy this chapter!! I've been thinking I should communicate with you guys especially Seeing Is Believing who seems to be my biggest fan of this fanfiction I wrote hope you guys enjoy. I would like to update as frequently as possible I only have two more weeks of summer school in Academic Decatholon left so I won't have much to do but summer projects, hanging out, volunteering, and searching for universities I will be interested in. So I should be able to update very often after that

The Beach and Urahara

The gang had possibly the most fun at the beach that they had all year long. Renji was happy though it wasn't anything like Rangiku's parties he wasn't in school, practice, or at Miyako's house and that made him happy plus he got to make out with Tatsuki on the sand. Nobody had their swimsuits so no one really went swimming. Orihime and Uryuu made sand castles, kissed, and chased one another. Kaien and Miyako just walked along the shore holding hands. Ichigo and Rukia left alone so they spent much of their time talking to one another. Ichigo learned that Rukia hated New York City, she didn't have any real friends there and really missed Karakura. Rukia learned that Ichigo hated most things school, the girls at his school, guys who made fun of others, etc. They learned they had things in common like the fact that they both enjoyed chocolate cake with strawberry frosting and both hated fruit salad. Also learned how they were different like how Rukia loved Chappy and Ichigo didn't. Rukia talked about a "happy bunny" that was popular in the United States and was like America's Chappy.

"Wow it's five already holy shit it's been four hours since I last ate I practically starved myself let's grab some grub before I pass out" Renji said and his stomach growled angrily.

"You know Renji some people around the world are actually starving to death and are probably living on less than 300 calories a day compared to your diet that's more like 5,000 calories" Uryuu stated in a matter-of-factly sort of way.

"Jeesh Uryuu just cause you want to eat less than 300 calories a day and be anorexic doesn't mean we all have to join you in your pencil shaped world" Renji barked at him. Uryuu looked pissed.

"So where do you guys want to eat?" Miyako asked.

"Hey Rukia why don't cha pick" Kaien said.

"Oh, okay well can we go to Urahara's I miss Japanese food and that restaurant was always my favorite when I was little" Rukia suggested.

"Uh, do we really have to go. You know how Urahara can be like" Ichigo said scratching the back of his head. Everyone nodded. That man was crazy.

"Well he isn't as bad as his wife Yoroichi she is almost insane" Renji said having bad flashbacks about the time at the freshman year when he went their alone and Yoroichi suggested that she should be his date and that if he had a real woman like her that he would rather eat her than the tons of food he swallowed on a daily basis.

"What but they seemed so sweet when I was little." Rukia stated.

"Ya when we were little they were normal, but when we hit puberty they seemed not to want to hold anything back, they really like to make us feel uncomfortable." Tatsuki said remembering how they acted at her thirteenth birthday party she had at their restaurant and how they commented how Tatsuki still didn't develop breasts and argued whether or not she had started her period. She shuddered.

"I know they've been a little embarrassing, but Rukia wants to go at least we can give her that. Besides I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. Urahara have good intentions" Orihime offered.

"You know your right Orihime let's let Rukia find out herself about how uncomfortable and awkward those two make everybody feel." Kaien smirked. Rukia thought that maybe she had just made a big mistake.

When they arrived everything was going on fine. Everybody was happy that they hadn't seen the owners yet and hoped and prayed to God that they would not run into them. The only annoying and confusing thing was that they had a waiter and a waitress instead of just one. Their names were Kiyone and Sentaro and they wouldn't stop arguing about who had the right to take orders, serve appetizers, serve meals, take dishes, refill glasses, and hand the teens their bill. Just when the gang was heading out the door their seemingly good luck had just ran out.

"Hello everybody look it's our favorite customers!" Urahara smiled under his hat.

"AAWW fuck I told you Mr. Hat-N-Clogs would go and fuck everything up tonight was too good to be fucking true! Shit!" Ichigo spoke angrily.

"Come down Ichigo all that adolescent testosterone gone to waste you should try steaming it off in the bedroom maybe with an older woman." Yoroichi said seductively seeming to appear out of nowhere like a sneaky cat.

'OH' Rukia thought to herself 'so this was the type of embarrassing stuff they were talking about wow' Rukia felt bad for Ichigo who was as red as well Ichigo.

"Wait who is this lovely lady Ichigo you finally got a girl, should I tell your dad he was right you're not a homosexual, well there goes that twenty bucks I bet this week" Urahara said humorously.

"Urahara I can't believe you bet that with Isshin you should know that someone as sexy as Ichigo would obviously not be gay" Yoroichi said with a wink.

Everybody else felt relieved the couple would always choose one person from the group to pick on per visit and this time it was Ichigo.

"Wait I know who you are there is no mistaking those signature blue eyes, raven hair, and porcelain skin you must be apart of the Kuc-." Urahara began.

"I'm Rukia how are you I used to come here when I was little" Rukia said with a fake smile. There was no way in hell she was going to let the rest of the group know that she was a Kuchiki. Not only would they act differently around her because she was super rich but they would want to use her connections to the record label to get signed and Rukia knew that Byakuya would have none of that. Miyako kept her secret which she was grateful that she remembered.

"Ah, of course. I remember your family was quite nice very charming in every way" Yorichi understood Rukia she herself was apart of a rich family and hated being treated like she was above others that's why she took Urahara's surname. She had also remembered the tragedy that occurred to Rukia at such a young age when she was six her twin sister Hisana had died of leukemia and her parents passed away in a plane crash a year later leaving a nineteen-year-old Byakuya at the head of the company. He of course had to grow up fast and Byakuya decided to run the business at New York City where most of the artist signed lived so it would be easy.

"Thank you, I guess we must get going I must be home by ten and it's already 9:20" Rukia said this time with a real smile.

"Well then have a great evening you crazy kids" Urahara smiled and waved now understanding the way Rukia had acted.

Uryuu had taken the boys to be dropped off in his white Mercedes while Miyako had to drop off the girls. Rukia noticed Tatsuki's house was pretty big not anywhere near as big as Rukia's but like an upper middle class family owned it. Orihime was dropped off at the apartment she shared with Sora her older brother who was her good-for-nothing parents abandoned them when she was five and he was twenty. Finally last stop was at Rukia's gigantic mansion.

"So how'd you guys end up getting the same house again?" Miyako asked.

"Oh, we never sold it, we just bought a penthouse in New York, just in case we would be coming back you know" Rukia said

"Oh, well, I guess you guys have enough money to do that sort of thing huh?" Miyako asked.

"Yeah, still wished I didn't have enough money so we would have never left in the first place." Rukia told her feeling sad. "But I understand Byakurya's decision I'm pretty sure that it was the best decision-"

"For the situation you guys were in, we don't have to talk about that though Rukia. All that matters is that you're back and we are going to make up for all those years that you missed hear, okay?" Miyako reassured her with a faint smile.

"Yeah that sounds great you know all your friends seem pretty awesome Miyako" Rukia smiled back.

"Really what do ya think of them?" Miyako really wanted to know her opinion about everyone she hadn't been with Rukia for a while and knew she had changed a lot from the seven-year-old she once knew but with all fairness so did Miyako.

"Well, let's start off with Kaien, cute guy I have to say you know how to pick em. He's funny yet responsible you should keep him. Orihime is so sweet, a little too happy at times but sweet. Uryuu seems nice he acts like he doesn't care but I can sense he cares about you guys a lot. Tatsuki is really cool she's tough and doesn't care much for a person's outside appearance she judges them by their personality instead I think that's a great attribute. Renji seems annoying but that's funny but I think he and I could get along easily." Rukia shared sincerely about Miyako's gang.

"Oh that's nice what about Ichigo though what do you think about him" Miyako raised an eyebrow. She really wanted to know she liked to play matchmaker.

"Uh… well" Rukia began to blush a tickled me pink color aroused on her normally porcelain cheeks. "Well he's really nice ya know…."

"You like him don't you?" Miyako mocked her smiling.

"No! I just think he's a cool guy!" Rukia denied.

"Sure I kept my eye on you guys all day you know" Miyako chirped.

"Okay maybe it's a little crush but I'm sure he wouldn't be interested in me I'm just some short scrawny spoiled little rich brat" Rukia stated.

"No chance Rukia. Yesterday before you even arrived Ichigo was describing his opinion of the perfect girl for himself and since I have like I photographic memory I believe his exact words were 'I guess my perfect girl would be petite, with raven hair just below the shoulders, big navy blue like the starry night, beautiful soft porcelain skin' and 'Well I definitely would like a rocker, someone who would enjoy our music. She would have to be rudely blunt, have a big appetite, but would know how to act civilized at the appropriate moments'" Miyako smiled "And if you ask me that pretty much sounds like you don't ya think Rukia?"

"Wow I don't know what to say" Rukia blushed all the way it was literally redder than Renji's hair.

"Anyway you better get to your door cause its 9:57 and if I remember Byakuya I believe you shouldn't be a second late or he will have a problem" Miyako waved to her friend who scampered off. Then Miyako pulled out of the drive way and began her own journey back home.

………………………………………………………………….

In Rukia's house. ……………

Rukia went into the large house and went to the room where she assumed Byakuya would decide to make his office. Obviously all the unpacking was gone as Rukia saw that everything looked in place and there were no boxes to be located. "Um.. Byakuya I'm home… Are you busy?" Rukia asked as she saw her older brother busy on paper work of some sort.

"Oh… not at all this stuff isn't due for another two weeks, but you know I do not enjoy procrastinating." Byakuya looked at his baby sister motioning her to sit as he sipped the water from his cup. "So how was your day?"

Before Rukia could answer she was lost in thought. Did Byakuya just ask me how my day went? And even more striking did Byakuya actually take time away from his paperwork to do so? She finally began, "Oh it was great Miyako has great friends. She introduced me to four others later, Uryuu, Kaein, Renji, and Ichigo. We even went to Urahara's it was funny." Rukia felt weird talking to her brother, but it felt nice like he actually cared.

"Oh, I see boys huh." Byakuya raised an eyebrow- 'what' Rukia thought 'is that some sign of emotion'- "So you didn't do anything over the top?"

"No, we just mostly hung out and I learned a lot about everyone in the group they are pretty interesting people, more interesting that anyone I've met in New York." Rukia yawned. "Wow I'm getting tired so early its only 10:20, anyway I'm going to turn in" then she scampered off to her old bedroom from nine years ago which she guessed easily was the room Byakuya gave to her.

…………………………………………………………………….

Uryuu dropped Ichigo and Kaien off first and they waved goodbye to Renji and Uryuu as they drove off. Ichigo and Kaien didn't even make it to the front door when Isshin Kurosaki jumped from the roof and knocked over both of his sons.

"I told you that I would get sneakier and just as I expected you are not ready for an unexpected attack from a maniac you'd both be dead" Isshin told his sons as if teaching a lesson.

"Dad! That was crazy you're a doctor you should have known you've could've of gotten yourself or us seriously injured!" Kaien yelled. He never got bothered easily but this time his father went too far to prove one of his stupid points.

"Yeah and about that maniac thing I believe only a sick twisted freak like you would have been able to push all the fears a sane person would have to the tenacity to jump off the roof of a clinic to attack his teenage sons at 9:30 at night when everyone is still awake!" Ichigo yelled he was surely getting sick and tired of his father's bullshit.

"Why are you two so mean to your only father! I raised you can't you show me some sympathy I'm just trying to sharpen your instincts and reflexes" Isshin sobbed.

"Whatever" Ichigo muttered angrily and opened the door to the house. Yuzu and Karin in the living room setting up a board of monopoly.

"Hey Ichigo, Kaien do you guys want to play with me and Karin?" Yuzu asked her older brothers hopefully she really did miss spending time with them. The best thing was though that she and Karin were fourteen and were going to start at Karakura High School this fall so she could attend school with them again.

"Sure why not?" Kaien smiled

"I have nothing better to do" Ichigo shrugged.

"I will play too! Now we can have a family bonding moment isn't this great! When was the last time we were able to do something like this I do not remember!" Isshin cheered happily and plotted his bottom next between Karin and Ichigo the two of his children that resented him and were annoyed by him the most. They played peacefully until there banker (Isshin) took an extra 200 dollars as he passed 'Go'

"Dad you ass you can't fucking cheat!" Karin yelled at her father and smacked his head.

"Dad's get an extra two hundred dollars for raising their stubborn children and for working hard so there is money for Yuzu to get ingredients to make your favorite foods" Isshin protested.

"Dad this is why we don't like playing with you maybe we should just leave and-" Karin began.

"No! Don't ruin family bonding time see this money is going back" Isshin said as he place the extra two hundred bucks back into the bank.

At the end Karin beat everyone. Isshin was angry because he was two hundred dollars short of tieing her and blaming Karin for not letting him receive to extra money for being a father to two sets of twins. Kaien come in third followed by Yuzu. Ichigo was dead last but didn't mind his thoughts were not on the game, but a certain blue-eyed girl.

"So you guys met Miyako's friend today didn't you?" Yuzu asked curiously.

"Oh ya she, Rukia, seems really nice" Kaien commented.

"Really! I wish I was there with you guys. What did you think of her Ichigo" Yuzu squealed.

"Nice I guess" Ichigo stated trying to play it cool.

"That's not all he thought of her" Kaien smirked. He usually didn't mess with Ichigo but today he couldn't help it. Ichigo shot him a look that said 'you-are-so-going-to-die'

"Oh my Ichigo has finally found himself a woman. Now I will have grandchildren from all my kids!" Isshin smiled happily as he ran to the poster of Masaki in the living room. "Do you here that Masaki we have added Ichiruki babies to the collection of Kaiyako, Jintzu, and Karinshiro babies."

"What the fuck dad! I don't even like the girl!" Ichigo yelled.

"So why were you blushing when Kaien brought it up?" Karin asked wanting to join in on the fun of humiliating Ichigo.

"I'm going to my room you asses!" Ichigo yelled, and muttered to himself, "Damn these people are so bored with their life they have to comment and talk about mine. I can't believe I'm related to anyone of them" Then he thought about Rukia. 'Is it that obvious that I fell head over heels for this girl. And whoa I've only known her for a day and I already want to be with her, to kiss her, to make her squeal my name- oh wait scratch that last thought.' Ichigo mentally slapped himself. "Damn what the hell is wrong with me!"

"A lot of things" Kaien stated.

"Damn I said that last part out loud" Ichigo muttered.
