Summary: Hiyori had a mother figure, but nothing else?.

Hiyori never had a family she knew and didn't care.

But since she was a little girl in the Rukongai, Shinji was there, for good, bad or worse, he's been there with and for her always. In the beginning when she met him, they lived in the 42nd district and after a couple of years they entered together to the academy. While she has seen him beat (easily) the best in the class in kidou and ran to check if the nameless male student was ok, she thought that inside and out he was a better person than her. Hiyori felt she was proud of the person that she had choose to fallen in love, even if those feelings where only on her side.

The blonde female Vizard never had a father figure until she met a certain lazy ass ex 3rd seat of the 2nd squad, better known as Urahara Kisuke, her second Taichou. The fatherly feelings that were brought by this man weren't even because he actually ended up being a good leader; it was more like the realization that he showed her she was more than a Shinigami that could be a warrior. The bump made her see she was bright, creative, spontaneous, a smart inventor and overall, an irreplaceable member of the 12th squad. And the fact that he was so composed and strong through the whole Hollowfication, trial and escape from the Soul Society, had made the Vizards and her especially stronger.

Hiyori never imagined what it was to have brothers and sisters. Especially annoying brothers and sisters that were completely different from her, but in a way the same, those were the rest of the Vizards. Lisa was a perv, scratch that, she was a curious person, and also the one who give Hiyori advice she didn't ask, especially girly advice that the blonde in her opinion didn't required. However, the day Hiyori was alone next to her favorite tree crying because she saw Shinji, her Shinji, kissing a dump giggling girl in his office, Lisa was the one who hugged her and told her in matter of factly tone "Men are all idiots, they can't appreciate what is right in front of their noses", and with that Lisa stopped the little lieutenant crying.

Love was a manga yunkie, a spoiler with feet and the one who liked to discipline her, and of course she complained about it since her Soul Society days, but when Hiyori was cold for spending too much time in the rooftop, he was the one who gave her his oversize coat first.

Hachi was a do gooder, so when Hiyori could reach for the cereal in the top of the kitchen cabinet or she got a scraped knee for all the training, he volunteer to help her taking the yelling of the little Vizard without so much of a sassy comeback expected from people like Shinji or Lisa. In returned for the little favors the pink haired man did for her, Hiyori came up with excuses to do favors for him as well.

Mashiro was a girl, the girlest girl in the entire Soul Society and Real World if you combined them, but sometimes Hiyori couldn't help to get caught up with Mashiro's innocence, so when the scarf wearing woman grabbed Hiyori from both of her shoulders and shake her saying "She is not dead, right? The evil stepmother didn't kill Snow White with that poison apple?" Hiyori couldn't help, but fake a smile and answer a simply "No, she is only sleeping".

Rose was simply weird, his face was weird, his chosen "human" outfit was weird, his temperament was weird, and the things he liked were weird too. That's why she was surprised on August 1th, the day of her birthday, when he pulled her a side and made her listen to a song he had written for her called 'Freckless', of course that after hearing the title she hit him with her sandal, but after hearing the entire song, she decided to keep the rest to the punishment for another day.

Kensei felt guilty; maybe after Shinji he was the one who felt the guiltiest. Especially when it came to the blonde girl, he knew he was the one who had infected and attacked her to put Aizen's plan in motion. She didn't blame him, after all she attacked Shinji and the others when she became a hollow, and she knew he didn't do it knowingly. Kensei liked the loud little Vizards, she was a hardworker and a serious warrior. So that's the reason why when Shinji asked him how much time she has been fighting her hollow in her inner world, he lied to the leader and said 59 minutes, a second later she conquered the fight and fell to the floor. Kensei turned to Shinji, who was holding the exhausted Hiyori, and said looking at the clock "My mistake it was 69 minutes".

Sarugaki-san had never known what the love of a mother was, but one day in the Academy she saw from far away the prettiest lady in the whole wide world: Hikifune Kirio. The Taichou not only chose Hiyori to be a member of her squad, she mentored the little girl, taught her, lectured her, spoilt her and loved her. Hikifune explain life for Hiyori, gave her a notion of what was wrong and what was right and supported her in her decisions even if Hiyori was mistaken. And that was the reason why the best day of her life had become a nightmare when the Taichou told the Fukutaichou she was leaving to serve the royal king.

"Now is my turn to stay back and watch you shine on your own" Hikifune said to Hiyori, while the girl bit her lip to avoid the tears from falling.
