AN: Had to cut trip short due to weather conditions, so I'll continue with chapters, I've decided that the chapters will be longer to keep me busy writing them, or else my mind will go to weird places and distract me. I think I found an interesting way to incorporate two zanpakuto for Ichigo, without taking much from the manga. I was really tired when I typed this, so tell me if I made any major mistakes with mixing up any names, or conversations.

After a hard night of drinking Ichigo just wanted to lay down in the quiet, but the usually quiet halls of his barracks were disturbed when a certain person appeared.

"Don't be like that Strawberry!" The evil cat woman walked up and sat on his stomach.

"Screw you, Yoruichi! Get off! What are you doing here anyway?" Ichigo said quickly while struggling. Orihime sat up and just started giggling; she knew that Ichigo was bothered by how friendly this woman was.

"That's no way to talk to your new squad member!" Yoruichi had that evil grim on that meant nothing good was going to follow. Upon hearing this Ichigo decided to actually throw her off and stand up.

"What the hell? Weren't you a captain!? This better be a joke!" But his eyes fell upon what she was wearing, it was a shihakusho that was open at the top, and wore a short skirt. His hopes that it was a joke were dashed. "Why do you torture me so, Shunsui?" Ichigo said quiet enough so that neither of the other two could hear.

"Yes I was a captain, and calm down Ichigo, I'm just kidding, for the most part." Before Ichigo could blink she was gone from in front of him, but instead was a cat in Orihime's arms. "I'm not in your squad; I just want to stay here until Kisuke's new girlfriend leaves him. She's such a whore…but never mind that, I'm staying here, and don't worry, I'll stay as a cat unless you want me to help train your squad…" Yoruichi explains while relaxing in Orihime's arms. Ichigo let out a sigh of defeat, he had experience trying to argue with her and it usually ends up with her removing her clothes and forcing him to agree, which he didn't want to explain to his squad, who had been watching him talk to a cat.

"Fine, I don't mind you not being a cat, but you must wear clothes at all times…clothes that fit you!" Ichigo was reluctant to let her stay. "Why don't you go stay with Sui Feng, I'm sure she would first die before turning you down."

"I'll visit her, but I would rather bother you here." She jumped out of where she was sitting in Orihime's arms and walked back into the barracks only to be drug out again in Koko's arms

"Dad! I found a cat in the hall! Where did you get a cat?" Koko asked happily, earning a muffled laugh from Orihime.

"That isn't a cat, Koko…well it is a cat, but it's less of a cat than you think. Yoruichi, if you would?" Ichigo explained slowly scratching the back of his head. The black cat only let out a meow. "Oh I will drown you in this pond…" He said icily to the cat in Koko's arms. She meowed again then turned her head to Koko and spoke.

"Would you let go of me for a second?" This startled Koko and she dropped the cat. "Hey, be careful." And in a cloud of smoke she transformed into her human form and started hanging on Ichigo, who was trying to get her off but to no success. After much persuading she let go and laughed "I'm Yoruichi Shihoin, pleased to meet you" She smiled nicely to the girl as if trying to make her think that she was an innocent person. "And did I hear correctly? You called strawberry over there 'Dad'?" Koko laughed at her for calling Ichigo strawberry.

"Yes I said that, my name is Koko Kurosaki. Ichigo's adopted daughter. I think I'll call him that now." She smiled then nodded and turned to Ichigo. "She's very pretty, are you sure Orihime is okay with her hanging all over you like that?"

"Unfortunately she's fine with it…" Ichigo turned to Orihime and wrapped his arms around her. "But she knows I'm hers." He kissed her cheek and let go. "Orihime gather the squad and tell them we are training kido now. I have to talk to Yoruichi for a minute." She nodded then disappeared with Koko.

"What did you need to talk to me about?" she said as she jumped up sitting on top of the slab, where she tried kicking Ichigo in the head but her leg was blocked

"Where do you plan on sleeping if you stay here? And you will be required to train when the squad trains, I can't seal my zanpakuto and they need someone else on a captain-class level who can run basic combat drills other than Orihime." Ichigo asked all while dodging kicks to the head.

"Obviously I'll stay in the captain's quarters with you and Orihime. Oh, but don't worry, I'll only be a cat when I'm in there. I sleep in the nude, when I'm human so…wouldn't want you to see anything..."

"But I already…you know what, never mind, we need to train the squad, let's go, cat." He turned and she jumped off the slab and landed on his shoulder as a cat. They made their way to where the squad was waiting. There were a few mumbles going around ranging from rumors about him being involved in a love triangle with the squad four captain and Orihime, to how they think he's finally lost it because someone saw him talking to a cat, which was now on his shoulder.

"Quiet down, I heard you talking, and I will say this once. I am not in a love triangle with anyone; I'm engaged to get married with Orihime. And yes, I have gone insane, I was talking to this cat, she's a close friend and can easily take any of you down." He picked up Yoruichi from his shoulder and set her down. "Show them your true form now." Ichigo spoke looking at the cat who did nothing. There were some muffled laughs from his squad.

"(meow)" Yoruichi meowed loudly a few times. Ichigo lost his temper.

"Not this time you little bitch!" And he stomped on her tail. She jumped up, transformed and delivered a kick to Ichigo's head that was too fast for him to block and he flew across the room.

"Hello there, my name is Yoruichi Shihoin; I'm a good friend of your dipshit of a captain so I'm going to help him train you." She introduced herself when she heard a voice come from somewhere in the squad.

"Old lady! How the hell are you gonna train us? You got a lucky hit on the captain!" The voice came from some male squad member earning a chuckle or two.

"Who the hell said that?" Ichigo demanded as he walked back over to Yoruichi. A voice from the crowd rang out.

"I did." A short irritated looking boy with no noticeable features other than a yellow triangle on his shihakusho walked forward.

"Name and seat." Ichigo spoke slowly.

"Ninth seat Mitezu Nokoha." The boy replied to his captain while still glaring at Yoruichi. Ichigo was going to scold him then Yoruichi spoke.

"Okay Mitezu I won't train any of you…if you can beat me in a fight. I won't even use my zanpakuto." Yoruichi had that mischevious smile.

"Fine old lady, let's go outside." The entire squad went outside while Ichigo just sighed.

"Attack me, you go first." Mitezu didn't wait to rush her down with his zanpakuto, he swung and she was gone appearing behind him. "What were you swinging at?" she chuckled and he kept swinging at her only for her to appear behind him every time. "You sure I'm some old lady who can't train you?" she said in a loud tone before raising her hand and started speaking an incantation which made fear grow in Mitezu's heart. "Seeping crest of turbidity, arrogant vessel of lunacy. Boil forth and deny, grow numb and flicker, disrupting sleep. Crawling queen of iron, eternally self-destructing doll of mud. Unite, repulse. Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness." Everyone knew what that incantation belonged to. Ichigo had a flashback of his final showdown with Aizen. Ichigo screamed at Yoruichi.

"Yoruichi! Stop! Do not use that kido!" Ichigo tried to get close to her but she just giggled and spoke quickly.

"Hado no. 1 Sho!" and Mitezu flew back still frozen from when he thought she was going to use a 90's level kido with a full incantation. "Calm down Ichigo, fighting is as much psychological as it is physical. Look he's shaking on the ground."

"That's not the point. That kido could have killed him even without an incantation. It could even take down captains easily." Ichigo scolded her for mentally torturing his squad.

"Oh yeah? Then how did you survive Aizen's? I heard you shattered it by swinging your hand?" she asked as if she did not already know the answer. His squad stood in awe when they heard what their captain had done, they knew about him being one of the strongest shinigami in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. But they didn't know how his fight went.

"Yeah I did, but you already know how! According to Urahara and Aizen I was something called 'Transcendent.' And as far as I'm aware, there is no one in this squad who can stand up to that kido, except maybe me and you." Ichigo had finished scolding her and he made her turn to Mitezu and apologize for scaring him.

"Sorry for scaring you, I was trying to prove a point. Meow!" she helped him up and made a meowing noise to make her seem like she was a nice person.

"Fine, I'll be quite, and you are really fast." Mitezu said as she helped him up.

"Squad, I would like you to meet Yoruichi Shihoin, ex-captain of squad two, and apparently the 'Flash Goddess.'" Ichigo finished the introduction that was cut short and then Mitezu walked up to her an apologized for insulting her.

"Don't worry Mitezu, I forgive you, but Sui-Feng probably won't." Yoruichi disappeared for a second and returned with a blushing Sui-Feng being held up by her coat. "Don't you know that spying on your friends is wrong, my Little Bee?" she called her Little Bee because of how small she was and her Shikai.

"Yoruichi-sama! Why are you staying with him! You can stay with me!" The small captain complained to her idol as she was put down.

"My Little Bee, I'm staying here, but I'll let you pet me later if you want…" She leaned down to whisper in her ear and said softly, "I might not be talking about my cat form." This caused Sui-Feng to blush heavily and tremble a little.

"Sui-Feng…If you want to stay here you'll have to help train with Yoruichi, she isn't staying here for free either. Or, you can go back to your barracks and I'll send her when we're done."

"Anything to be with Yoruichi-sama!" She agreed much to Ichigo's surprise. For some reason she hated him and would like nothing to do with him, but she seemed to put her hate aside while Yoruichi was there. For the next five hours Ichigo, Orihime, Yoruichi, and Sui-feng trained the squad in kido, Sui-Feng was being nice to the squad out of fear that Ichigo would make her leave and be away from her evil cat. Around the end of the training Koko was training with Sui-Feng and launching kido after kido, mainly lower level like Sokatsui and Byakurai. But when she tried a kido that was considerably more powerful, Sui-Feng was distracted by Yoruichi doing something and got hit by Koko's Haien. This managed to burn off most of Sui-Feng's clothing and burned parts of her face and back. before Ichigo flared his spiritual pressure which extinguished the kido. He immediately covered her with his coat as to at least give her something to cover herself. She was shaking out of embarrassment and bright red as Yoruichi was grinning at her. "Orihime please take Sui-Feng and heal her, lend her a set of clothes, shihakusho, anything." She took the burnt captain to Ichigo's quarters and set her on the bed and healed her, she went into the closet and pulled out a black yukata with a rose the back.

"I'm sorry! This is the only thing I have that's your size, but it's so pretty!" Orihime held up the kimono and Sui-Feng paled at the thought of having to wear it.

"It's fine, better than wearing this huge ripped coat. But I'm surprised he acted so quickly, I didn't realize what had happened until he put the coat over me." Sui-feng started putting the yukata on with Orihime's help.

"He's very attentive to what happens around him, he's always watching, and is very chivalrous. He watches over his friends and protects them when needed. He knows that you don't like him, but that means he considers you his friend considering, he helped you before you knew what happened yourself." Orihime had finished helping her put on the yukata and tied the bow on the back. When she spun the captain around she saw that she looked a little sad. "Eh? Whats wrong, is it too tight? Did I say something?" Orihime panicked because she didn't know what to do since she never really talked with her before.

"No the yukata is fine, it's just that…I've been such a bitch to him. I hated him because he wasn't 'pure' but in fact he's the purest person in this damn place. We put the fate of so many lives on his shoulders when we involved him in our war and he just went and won the war for us. He killed the first substitute, even after he found out we were monitoring him and planning to kill him, and he just came back like nothing was wrong. I didn't know he saw me as a friend…I'm only here because Yoruichi-sama is here. I can't just go apologize to him, can I? Will he forgive me? Please tell me, I'm asking you because he is closest to you!" Sui-Feng was doing a good job of not crying but let a single tear fall, which by her standards was unacceptable and she mentally cursed herself.

"Please don't cry, what will everyone think if they saw the headstrong captain of squad two crying? Of course he would forgive you, come here." She took her hand and walked her to the bed and sat her down, she sat next to her. "I think if you just go up to him and ask him to be friends you will feel better." Orihime had a big smile on her face, Sui-Feng composed herself and grabbed her zanpakuto off the floor and put it in her yukata. Orihime took Sui-Feng's arm and led her out into the barracks.

"Lieutenant Inoue…" She started but was cut off.

"Call me Orihime; and call Ichigo by his name instead of Captain Kurosaki." She said with a small smile.

"Alright, Lieut… Orihime-san, thank you for being a friend." Sui-Feng smiled, which was weird because of how strict she appeared to be.

"You're welcome Sui-Feng. Oh, and a bit of advice, don't go drinking with him or Unohana-san, it gets weird." Orihime whispered into her ear and Sui-Feng raised an eyebrow at what the two captains could get into. After a few seconds she shuddered and paled slightly.

"They're here, in the office, let's go inside." Orihime opened the door and led the small captain in. She excused herself because Rangiku had come and drug her away. Once Sui-Feng went inside, Ichigo looked up from his desk and at her and she threw his coat at him which he put on.

"You look nice, I see she gave you her old yukata, I liked it." Ichigo smiled as she walked up to him and looked him in the eye.

"I'm very sorry for how I treated you for the past few years! I know that you thought of me as a friend you knew I hated you…I'm sorry, Ichigo, can we be friends now?" She had a face that showed her sadness.

"Thank you for apologizing but…No." when Ichigo spoke Sui-Feng's eyes looked down and she turned to leave. "Wait, I said we can't be friends now, because we already were, whether you knew it or not, My Little Bee." As he said that Sui-Feng spun around with watery eyes. She was going to say not to call her that but she saw him get up and smile with Yoruichi in his arms petting her. "Hey don't cry, Yoruichi told me to call you that!"

"You Idiot, I'm happy, I don't care what you call me, I was just so sad when Orihime-san told me you thought of me as a friend even though I was ignoring you completely."

"Alright, Bee. I'll call you Bee, Yoruichi calls you 'my Little Bee' and it would just get too weird, I don't need more rumors…Here" Ichigo smirked then handed her the cat in his arms and her eyes went wide and she blushed a little. She took the cat and went into a corner and started playing with her. "Play nice you two, I have to go to squad thirteen for a little bit." Ichigo left and Sui-Feng didn't hear him, she was too wrapped up with petting Yoruichi.

…

Ichigo went into the squad thirteen barracks and eventually found Kiyone Kotetsu who had ran up and started talking loudly.

"What did you do to my sister!? I went to see her this morning and she said you took her and Captain Unohana out for drinks and she was complaining that she didn't remember much and had trouble walking!" She yelled loudly so that a few others in the hall looked at him. 'Awesome more rumors' he thought to himself. He bent down to speak quietly.

"All I did was carry her unconscious body back to her barracks, maybe she can't walk right because of her little 'adventure' with Nanao."

"I don't want to know. Anyway, what brings you here?"

"I need to ask your captain something, is he well?"

"Yeah he seems fine today; Lieutenant Kuchiki is sitting with him in his quarters."

"Thank you Kiyone, and please tell your squad mates that I did nothing to anyone from squad four…" as he headed for Ukitake's quarters he heard from down the hall Kiyone yelling something which he hoped was what he told her to say. 'All the women here are insane, what the hell?' he thought to himself as he walked through the halls, he found himself outside the captain's quarters and before he could knock he heard a voice.

"Come in, Ichigo." It was Rukia calling him from the other side of the door. Ichigo opened the door and slowly walked in, Ukitake was sitting across from Rukia and they were drinking tea.

"How did you know I was there?" Ichigo raised an eyebrow at Rukia.

"Fool, I felt you since you came in to the barracks." Rukia gave a smile from behind the tea she was drinking.

"Ichigo, what brings you here today?" Ukitake offered Ichigo some tea as he sat down, which Ichigo took and started drinking.

"Well, Jushiro I was wondering what a wedding here is like? Is it similar to those in the world of the living? I would ask Byakuya, but he's still trying to kill me." Ichigo asked the sickly man with an eyebrow up.

"They are basically the same, bride, groom, someone to do the service, flower girl, all that is the same. But the one different thing is a 'Soul Sharing.' Do you remember the night you met Rukia? Essentially that, but it cannot be done with a Shikai." Ukitake explained before finishing his tea. When he said it cannot be done with a Shikai Ichigo's eyes dropped.

"So it isn't official unless this Soul Share takes place?" Ichigo asked slowly.

"Unfortunately that's the case, If you don't know how to se-" He was cut off

"I know how to seal it, I prefer not to, the last time I sealed it I broke my left arm. I'm not sure how but every time I seal my zanpakuto my left arm breaks and It releases itself five minutes later. I'll explain it to Orihime about my arm and have her heal it. But can you explain to me how to do this soul sharing thing?"

"I guess that Zangetsu doesn't want to be sealed, okay, when a Soul Sharing is complete, you can enter your partner's inner world even talk to their zanpakuto, do you remember what Rukia did that night? She thrust her zanpakuto completely through your heart all the way to the guard and poured her spiritual pressure into the blade, transferring part of her soul to you, along with almost all of her spiritual pressure. If you think about it, Rukia is halfway married to you, as in, you can enter her inner world but she cannot enter yours." Ukitake explained and Ichigo sighed until it hit him.

"WHAT THE HELL RUKIA IS MARRIED TO ME!?" Ichigo screamed while pointing to the black haired girl.

"Calm down Ichigo, not completely, but I would suggest that you don't stab Rukia in the heart," He said with a laugh. "And she can't enter your inner world and talk with Zangetsu, but on the other hand, you can enter hers and talk to Sode No Shirayuki, sometimes if she is in her own inner world you can enter at the same time although not freely, it is entirely up to her zanpakuto to let you stay or not, so there wouldn't be any interfering with anything important."

"I guess it's good she can't get into mine even if she tried, Zangetsu isn't one for company, he's even annoyed when I go there." Ichigo spoke with a joking tone. "I'll talk with him about why he won't let me seal him, and why he keeps forcing a release. And I'll be sure to bother Sode No Shirayuki later, thanks Jushiro. Oh I almost forgot! Rukia, Orihime wanted to ask you to be one of the bridesmaids at our wedding, but she was busy dealing with Rangiku, before you answer, if you say yes, I won't bother Sode No Shirayuki." Ichigo had a smirk on his face when he realized he could use that as a bribe.

"Tell her I would be honored, when is it?" Rukia asked with a smile.

"Her birthday, September 3rd."

"One more thing, can I bring my family and friends here? My dad was a captain before so… I guess that could be okay…and the friends completely know about what I am, Urahara told them."

"Yes that's fine as long as they don't collapse around a bunch of high level Shinigami."

"My family should be fine, I'm sure my friends can handle it." Ichigo had to think about if Keigo and Tatsuki would even be able to stand up if there were two captains near them. "Thank you again Jushiro, Rukia, I have to get back to my barracks, I don't exactly trust Yoruichi alone."

"Wait, Ichigo, don't bother my zanpakuto please, thank you." Rukia had grabbed his arm stopping him from leaving. He broke out of her grip and waved as he walked out.

"I'll think about it, oh have you seen Renji today? He isn't at his barracks is he?"

"Yeah he should be there, why?"

"Never mind, see you later, Jushiro, Rukia." And he was gone.

'Damn, why does Renji have to be near his captain today?'

…

Ichigo got back to his barracks, and went to his quarters to see if Orihime was there, in her free time when they weren't together she would sit there and stare at the collection of wierd things he had. She wasn't there, Ichigo thought she was still out with Rangiku. He started making his way to his office, when he was stopped by Mitezu, the one who had fought Yoruichi before.

"Captain, if you don't mind me asking, what is a 'Transcendent?' That thing you said you were earlier?"

"No it's fine, walk with me, I'll explain. According to Urahara, it meant that I was my own zanpakuto, and apparently my spiritual pressure was so high that nobody could even feel it, not even Aizen, whose spiritual pressure was enough to kill someone. My physical traits were increased to impossible proportions. And some other details I can't bother to remember. But if I find that you are planning something, here's some advice, don't." Ichigo joked with him a bit as they came to his office. Mitezu thanked him and walked away. Ichigo opened his door and it was silent, he thought Sui-Feng took Yoruichi to her barracks, but when he got to his desk he looked up to the other side of the room and saw the two who he had thought weren't there and he nearly tripped over himself. Yoruichi was half naked pinning Sui-Feng's arms to the wall above her head with one hand, and the other hand was covering her mouth, her yukata was ripped open at the top, and around her waist. Yoruichi was kissing her neck. Ichigo couldn't watch anymore so he raised his hand.

Ichigo used a bunch of binding kido without speaking so they wouldn't be strong. Sui-Feng didn't struggle the kido because she knew he wouldn't let her go without an explanation.

"Why Ichigo, I wasn't raping her! She consented; I had my hand covering her mouth so she wouldn't make much noise." Yoruichi explained as she easily broke the kido, and turned back into a cat and tried to walk out. "Hell no you don't! Bakudo no 9 Horin!" It wrapped around the cat and dragged her back in, and she turned back to human, still bound by the kido. "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudo no 61 Rikujokoro!" six wide beams of light hit her holding her where she was. "Now stay there for a minute." He released the kido that held Sui-Feng, and put his coat on her.

"Ichigo, I'm sorry for this, I don't know what came over me. Forgive me, please." Ichigo held out his hand and helped her up, she clenched his coat as to not show anything.

"I'm not mad, Bee, just…pet…each other lighter next time you're in my office, I don't need to be known as a lecherous captain." Ichigo spoke as he released Yoruichi who turned back into a cat and jumped on his desk because someone was standing in the door.

"Kurosaki…what are you doing to Captain Sui-Feng and why did the half-naked woman turn into a cat?" It was Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of squad ten, looking away with a bit of a red face. Sui-Feng went into a corner out of sight and curled up into a ball to be ignored.

"To…Toshiro! Nothing I let her wear my coat because of said demon cat on my desk." He pointed at the cat and used Sho without saying anything so she wouldnt expect it. The blast hit the cat on his desk, throwing it off with an angry meow like noise.

"Payback is coming, Strawberry" And she ran out past Toshiro.

"So, what brings you here?" Ichigo said turning back to the annoyed captain

"Have you seen my lieutenant, she likes hiding here. And that's Captain Hitsu-"

"Whatever, no she isn't here, she took my lieutenant somewhere earlier, haven't seen them for an hour or two."

"Very well." He turned and left.

"Hey, Bee, you okay?" Ichigo walked over to her and bent down.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I feel bad, Yoruichi tore this yukata, and I have your coat, I'll bring them back in a little bit, after I change, I don't think anyone will see me, I am leader of the Stealth Force after all." She gave a small smile and took off at full speed out the door and within ten minutes she was back with his coat and the torn yukata.

"Keep the yukata, it doesn't fit Orihime anymore, and it suits you well, you should try fixing it. Oh by the way, I expect you two to behave yourselves at my wedding." Ichigo handed back the yukata to the small captain, who was now dressed in her normal outfit.

"Oh when is it? I need to get something to wear…" Sui-Feng started listing off things to do before Ichigo answered her.

"September 3rd, in about a month. And you should have the yukata repaired and wear that." Ichigo turned and went to his desk and sat. "Oh, you're with that SWA right?"

"Yes why?" She walked over to a wall and leaned against it.

"can you make them stop taking pictures of me?"

"Nope!" She appeared in front of him without him even seeing her move, she truly is the fastest captain.

"You know, I always thought you were so closed in and didn't share with anyone, then, today happened." Ichigo seemed to be trying to forget the day.

"Again I'm sorry!" She bowed her head so quickly that their heads collided and she fell over onto the ground and Ichigo's head fell to his desk and blacked out.

…

"Sui-Feng! Dammit get up! I'm not carrying you to your barracks." She didn't move, Ichigo kept trying to wake her, even resorting to poke her face. Ichigo then had a great idea that is sure to work.

"Oh hey Yoruichi." Ichigo spoke a bit loud to make sure that the passed out captain would hear. She did and sprang up then started looking around frantically.

"Yoruichi-sama! Yoruichi-sama! What…" Ichigo started laughing at her and she spun around and punched him in the face, not hard enough to break any teeth or his nose, but hard enough. "Don't tease me like that. How long was I out?"

"Don't know, I blacked out too, and after I got up you were down for another twenty minutes. Now, I don't want more rumors about me then there already are, so when you leave, make sure nobody sees you."

"Very well, I'm leaving now. I don't want more rumors about me either." And she was gone.

'What could she mean more? She's an 'out' lesbian so it isn't that…' Ichigo thought to himself as Rangiku walked in holding a passed out Orihime.

"Ichigo, you have a wonderful girl here, but she can't hold her alcohol to save her life. She was passed out before I could even get a bit tipsy." Rangiku said with a pout.

"Just set her on the couch, your captain came looking for you, he seemed irritated like usual. No get up, you can't stay I need to do something and as I said, you are distracting." Ichigo said as she sat down on the couch.

"You're no fun, but fine. Bye Strawberry!" She strode out the door, and Ichigo was thinking about what would happen if he threw a brick at her.

"Why are all the women here insane lesbians, or just plain insane…" He said under his breath. He kissed Orihime's forehead and grabbed his zanpakuto from its resting place against the wall. He walked out into his garden pond, and sat under the large stone slab with all the names he had Zangetsu across his lap and he closed his eyes.

…

Ichigo found himself in that familiar sideways world. He looked around and called for Zangetsu.

"Hey Old Man! Where are you? I need to ask you something."

"I know why you're here. You want seal me." The old man was standing on a pole not far from Ichigo who turned to the voice.

"Well yeah, can you tell me why you keep releasing yourself?" Ichigo spoke to the old man hoping that he would give a simple answer. But that is never the case with Zangetsu.

"You are not equalizing your power, you are trying to store all the power in your body, and the stress is not being handled well and usually ends up breaking your left arm, which not even I know why it is your left arm. You must seal me as you would, but as soon as you do, you must equalize it separately, there is one you know who does the same." The old man stopped talking and Ichigo was back in his garden. He sighed and stood up and put Zangetsu on his back and started to leave when Orihime came out.

"Oh I see you're awake now. How's your head?" He asked as she walked up and sat down next to him and he sat right back down.

"I never have a headache from drinking for some reason. I guess I have a tough head." She said with a large smile. She leaned against him.

"Do you know that we have to do a 'Soul Sharing' at the wedding to make it official?"

"Ukitake-san told me about it, it's basically what Rukia did with you the day you two met. He told me how if you wanted you could go see her zanpakuto. He also told me that it can't be done with a Shikai." She seemed sad when she said the last part.

"I know, I talked to Zangetsu and he said I have to equalize my power separately and there is one person I know who does this. He's as cryptic as usual." Ichigo was looking up at the stars that were now in the sky. after a few minutes of thought Orihime spoke up.

"Oh I know! Doesn't Ukitake-san and Kyoraku-san have two zanpakuto? Could that be what he was talking about? Although…I think only Kyoraku has two when they are sealed." When she spoke Ichigo's eyes lit up.

"Thank you! Thank you! You are a genious sometimes! I have to try something now, hold on." Ichigo stood up and walked a few steps away, he held Zangetsu out in front of him in both his hands. He closed his eyes and sealed it like he always would, but in his mind he focused all the removed pressure into his sword through his hands. There was a flash of light and he was holding two zanpakuto. The one in his right hand was a sheathless Nodachi with a black blade and no guard, the hilt was wrapped in what looked like a white ribbon, and the one in his left was a normal sized Katana, which looked like a normal zanpakuto with a normal colored blade, a black manji hilt and the guard was white with black diamond patterns on it, there was a sheathe for it on his left hip. He sheathed the one in his left hand and tried putting the Nodachi on his back, but it just fell to the ground. With a sigh he picked it up and rest it on his shoulder.

"This is…different. And hey! My arm is fine!" Orihime jumped up and ran over to hug him causing him to lose his balance and fall onto the ground. The two got up and walked back into the barracks where everyone was looking at Ichigo who now had a sheathed katana and a nodachi on his shoulder. "I need to find something to hold this thing…maybe that evil scientist captain would help? He hate's me though." Orihime chuckled at what he said.

"Ichigo, how are you going to fight with those two, the big one doesn't have a sheathe and is twice the size of the other." Orihime had took his hand and walked around with him until they left the barracks and were walking around outside, he couldn't think of an answer to her question.

"I'm not sure, actually, I should be able to control the size of it." He let go of her hand and unsheathed the katana and held both out in front of him. He focused on spreading the power equally to each sword. And slowly the nodachi turned into what resembled a wakazashi, still with the same appearance as the nodachi, black, no guard, and a hilt wrapped in the ribbon like cloth. He thought about the cloth on his Shikai and how it would wrap the blade, and it wrapped the blade, which surprised him, he put it on his back where Zangetsu's Shikai would have been and it stayed. His katana had grown slightly longer, maybe an inch or two, and the hilt had gained a black cloth that hung off the bottom, the sheath grew with the sword too.

"Stick with one style, Ichigo." Ichigo looked around to find the source of the voice, he knew who it was from, he didn't know where though. The flamboyant captain jumped off the barracks Ichigo had come out of.

"Shunsui, looks like you aren't the only one with two when sealed, huh?" Ichigo spoke with a smirk.

"Damn, I was feeling a bit special too." Shunsui joked back at him before continuing to walk with them. "So let's go for a drink! You won't outdrink me like you did to Retsu. And that's a fact!" Ichigo didn't want to argue because, Orihime was nodding, even though she immediately passes out.

"Fine, let's go, but, I'm not going to drink that much, not this time, I've had enough with Retsu that I don't need to do it again so soon." A few minutes later they came to a bar, and Shunsui led them in to what he said was his personal room. Which didn't surprise either of them.

After about an hour, Orihime was passed out, in Ichigo's lap, he was stroking her long hair, thinking about the wedding, he had left all the planning to Urahara, all Ichigo told him, is that it will be in Soul Society, Ichigo had told him if there was a bachelor party he would personally behead the shop owner. Shunsui had downed a few bottles already, and Ichigo had only a cup. Shunsui eventually got a bit too drunk and started yelling about something involving doors and apples. Ichigo said bye to him and carried Orihime back to the barracks, it was late, and he wanted to go to sleep. But he was about to find out that he wasn't going to get to so easily.

They had arrived at the barracks. There was no one in the halls since it was so late. He carried her to his quarters. But when he managed to open the door with his foot since his hands were full, he nearly dropped her. It was Yoruichi and Sui-Feng naked and passed out on top of each other in his bed.

"Shit, they move fast…" he said under his breath as he closed the door, he went to his office and put Orihime on the couch and lay the ripped coat over her. He sat down at his desk and passed out.

…

The next few days were simple, nothing strange, well nothing strange that wasn't already happening, Rangiku hiding from her captain, Sui-Feng sneaking out of his quarters followed by a black cat. And Kido training, Ichigo trained with Yoruichi and had managed to use Soren Sokatsui, but blew up half his squad, and much to Retsu's joy she had patients again. But still scolded him with a smile for blowing up his squad. Ichigo had decided to go confront Byakuya and go find Renji.

Ichigo was walking through the halls of squad six barracks he felt Byakuya's spiritual pressure spike when he got near his door, which meant he knew Ichigo was there.

"Enter." The noble's voice came through the door before he knocked. Ichigo opened the door and walked in. "Scatter, Senbonzakura." Byakuya didn't even look at Ichigo, who just sighed and flared his own pressure, which made all the blades keep from him; he was much stronger than the captain of squad six in terms of spiritual pressure.

"Byakuya, I'm not going to let you cut me this time, I came to apologize for something I didn't do. But if it means you will stop attacking me every time you see me, I will. Captain Kuchiki, I am sorry for being so touchy with your sister, Lieutenant Kuchiki of squad thirteen. I had to fight Kenpachi to protect her; she was drinking and challenged him to a fight. He was going to kill her sir; I fought him for her, and fell over her when I tried walking her to the door. Thus, giving you what you saw." After Ichigo's apology Byakuya's blades died down as he sealed his zanpakuto, and Ichigo dropped his level back down to his normal.

"I accept your apology, Kurosaki, and I must commend you for being able to be proper when the time calls. I assume that is not the only reason you are here." Byakuya spoke with the same cold and bland voice as always.

"You are right, I came to ask you and Renji something, so can you tell him to come inside, I can hear him breathing on the other side of the door." Ichigo turned to the door and opened it to reveal a Renji who looked a bit shook up. "What's wrong Renji, am I that scary?" Ichigo said with a small smirk.

"Yes you are, damn Ichigo, do you have to raise your spiritual pressure so high? One of the squad members out here were frozen on the ground because of you two." Renji regained his composure and came fully inside. "What did you want to ask us?"

"Renji, would you be my Best Man?" Renji looked a bit surprised.

"Hell yeah I would!" Renji shouted and Byakuya shot a glare at him to get him to quiet down.

"And Bya-Captain Kuchiki, will you attend to at least see your sister as a Bridesmaid if you won't come for me and Orihime." Ichigo was looking Byakuya in the eye.

"Yes, but not just for Rukia, you are a captain, and believe it or not I have some respect for you. I would be honored to attend." Byakuya's tone had changed to something resembling joy.

"Honestly I did not expect that, thank you, Captain Kuchiki."

"And I don't know how I didn't notice this before Ichigo, you have two zanpakuto now?" Renji had asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I finally figured out how to seal it without breaking any bones…long story I'll explain some day. And it turns out, I have two." Ichigo reached his right hand up to the sword on his back and his left down to the sheath and pulled both swords and held them out to show the sealed form that was two swords.

"Wait, does that mean you have two swords in Shikai and Bankai now?"

"I don't know, I would rather not release it indoors if it can be helped, wouldn't want to blow up your office, Byakuya."

"I would appreciate it."

"Let's go to your barracks then, I'm sure they would have rebuilt it out of sturdier material this time." Renji stood up and pulled Ichigo out the door and Byakuya started to fix the papers on his desk.

…

The two of them came to the fifth squad's barracks they went into the training ground where Ichigo and Orihime like to fight, so there were craters everywhere.

Ichigo took his wakazashi style sword in his right, and put his left on the hilt of the sheathed sword. He closed his eyes as if trying to remember the Shikai command.

"Moon be black. Heaven's cry, Zangetsu!" his two swords started glowing and turned into what resembled a glowing snake and formed a large blade in his right hand which was the same Shikai as before, only this time there was a white crescent moon seemingly carved into both sides of the blade. "Huh, that's pretty damn cool, I wonder what my Bankai will be like…"

"Ichigo, what the hell happened to your zanpakuto?" Rukia had yelled from a tree that was somehow still standing on the edge of the destroyed battlefield.

"Rukia, get over here!" Renji had yelled to her and she jumped down from the tree and flash stepped to them embracing Renji.

"I had sealed my zanpakuto, and it turned out I had two, and I guess the change from the single unsealed blade I would always end up with to this, caused my Shikai to change. I'm about to see my Bankai if it changed or not. Here we go…" Ichigo had removed his coat and threw it at Rukia who had backed up a bit with Renji. Ichigo Held up his zanpakuto and yelled.

"BANKAI" And his spiritual pressure had manifested into a black pillar that shot into the sky causing Rukia and Renji to back up a fair distance. When the giant pillar had cleared, Ichigo's spiritual pressure was manifesting like black lightning from his arms, he stood there with a sleevless shihakusho with a long tailcoat, in his hands were two zanpakuto, exactly alike, they looked exactly like his regular Bankai, except the chain on the bottom of each sword was wrapped around his arms to his shoulders, and for some reason his hair was longer, similar to when he came out of the Dangai to face Aizen, feeling this pressure, his entire squad was outside staring at him in awe. Along with some captains, Kenpachi with his maniac grin laughing. Shunsui, standing there wondering what was going on, still a bit drunk. Retsu was dumbfounded. And Komamura, sitting there staring at him, like it was a firework display. All of them had come when they felt the massive spike in spiritual pressure, thinking something had gone wrong. Suddenly Ichigo screamed and his eyes started glowing white, and his hair turned black, then in an instant his hair and eyes were back to normal, his Bankai reverted back to its sealed form, he collapsed, and the last thing he heard was his name being yelled by Orihime.

…

"Holy shit…" Ichigo awoke in the familiar room he had been in many times before, in the fourth squad barracks. He tried to move and his entire body was sore, yet it felt light, and drained. He looked at his arms and noticed there was a black strap on his right arm, he started to take it off when the door opened, and Retsu walked in and sat down next to his bed.

"I wouldn't take that off for a while, Ichigo." She sounded a little concerned.

"What the hell happened, I remember using my Bankai and it was different, like, my spiritual pressure was solid…and there were captains there…" he was cut off by Retsu.

"Yes, it was spectacular, but you had exerted too much spiritual pressure and your body started to fail, you collapsed and have been unconscious ever since, that band on your arm is similar to Kenpachi's eye patch, and you must wear it until your excess spiritual pressure is released. It should only be a day or so then you can take it off, you've been here for twenty days, Orihime has been here every day for hours. She left Koko in charge of the squad while she was here, I just sent her back. I would prefer it if you didn't release your zanpakuto for a while, and Mayuri is working on a glove version of that band so that you can safely use your Bankai. Only remove the glove if you are certain you are going to die if you don't. Don't worry, Kido from your hand won't burn it." She spoke slowly, all the happiness in her voice was gone, it was rare for her to speak like this, but it was a serious matter.

"Okay…I will not release my zanpakuto…you said I was unconscious for how many days? What day is it!?" Ichigo had demanded because he remembered how close the wedding was, before he blacked out.

"Don't worry, you should be fine by the wedding, it's August 29th." Her happy voice and smile were back. Even if she was friendly with him her smile still made him feel like she was plotting against him. His eyes lit up, not like that day when he collapsed, though. He decided to sit up and face her.

"So, how much does this suppress me?" he pointed to his band.

"Well, this band will take you down to around 60% but that glove that you will get soon, will only work when you use your Bankai. And it will just keep you at a tolerable level, as to not crush people next to you, but still offer a considerable amount of power."

"That's good, I guess, am I free to leave?"

"Yes, and thank you for taking me and Isane out that night, I hadn't had that much fun in a while, and Isane is still having fun with Nanao, who surprisingly felt the same way, but she could hide her emotions better than Isane."

"You're welcome, I had fun too, although the rumors get on my nerves."

"I've heard the rumors and scolded whoever I heard them being said by."

"I haven't scolded anyone, I just explained it to them, well I have to go and surprise my squad. Bye Retsu." He turned and grabbed his zanpakutos from their resting place against the wall, and put them on, he was still in the sleevless shihakusho, and didn't have his coat, he told Rukia to hold it after all.

"Okay, bye Ichigo I'm headed back to my quarters, I'll speak with you some other time."

…

'They were close to me when this happened; I guess nothing bad happened to them since I wasn't told they were affected badly.' He thought to himself as he got to his barracks.

He opened the doors and walked in, there was no one in the halls since it was so late. He walked to his office and slowly and quietly opened the door, what he saw made him smile wide. Orihime was sitting at his desk, wearing his coat. Koko was sitting on the couch petting Yoruichi, who if was a cat and in there, Sui-Feng was either busy or had been tied up by Yoruichi somewhere.

"Excuse me girls? Have you seen the captain?" Ichigo said trying to mask his voice. Without looking up the two girls had both responded.

"Squad four…" they both sounded lost in thought.

"Like hell he is." Ichigo had used his normal voice and both girls jumped up.

"Ichigo!" Orihime had tears in her eyes as she ran up to him and embraced him tightly. "Are you okay, I was so worried about you, what happened Unohana-san said that your spiritual pressure was too high for your body, but that didn't make sense because you had undetectable pressure before!" She had managed to keep most of the tears out of her eyes and was speaking really fast.

"It's okay now, I'm fine, I'll explain everything later. The wedding will still happen on the 3rd, did you ask Tatsuki to be the Maid of Honor yet?"

"yes I went there to tell her, she said that she will tell Keigo the date, Chad and Uryuu can't make it, they are way too busy with college." She told him, still not letting go. Koko couldn't talk, she was wrapped up in her tears, and Yoruichi was now human, smiling at him.

"I'm going to go get them tomorrow, Shunsui said that I can bring them here, I guess they can stay with Unohana, her barracks are very hospitable. Ours is…explosive, let's say that."

"Actually I'll go ask her that now, I'll be back in a little. You should go to sleep, it's like four in the morning" Ichigo kissed Orihime quickly and ruffled Koko's hair before throwing a smirk at Yoruichi. And he was gone.

"Koko-chan, keep petting me, that was nice." It was Yoruichi, a cat again, with that male voice.

"Okay! But let's go into the garden, I like it out there." Koko had picked up the cat and went into the garden and started petting Yoruichi

"Koko, go to sleep, It's really late…and, just go get some sleep" Orihime spoke out the window that looked into the garden-pond. She got a response and went to the captain's quarters.

…

He got to the fourth squad's barracks when he remembered that Unohana went back to her quarters, so instead of going into the barracks he went around to the back where her quarters were. He saw Isane sitting alone in front of hers and looking a little shaken up. He jumped down and walked up to her.

"Isane, are you okay?" he spoke quietly because it was so late. She wasn't expecting anyone's voice other than Unohana's because usually she sits with her at night, she fell over and screamed when she heard his voice.

"Ichigo! What are you doing here!" She got herself back up and sat back down, still looking troubled. "I had a nightmare. I get them a lot. Usually Unohana sits out here with me, but she hasn't come out, maybe she's asleep?"

"I'll sit here with you if you want, I was hoping she would still be awake, I was here like twenty minutes ago. I had something I needed to ask her." Ichigo had a smile on his face, which made Isane smile.

"Okay, you can stay, but don't you want to go to sleep?"

"Hell no, I've been asleep for twenty days." Ichigo joked and they both laughed. "Isane I don't know what you two talk about when you sit here when you have nightmares, but I'll listen to what you have to say." Ichigo had a friendly warm smile on his face which showed that he cared.

"Okay, well, usually we just sit here, she's very much like a mother to me. She comforts me and gives me tea…" Isane continued talking but stopped when she heard a voice and a door open.

"…Isane, who are you talking to…Oh, Hello Ichigo, why are you still here?" Unohana had obviously been sleeping, her hair was messy and not braided like it always was, and a giant scar on her neck was visible, she quickly covered it when she noticed Ichigo was looking at it. She went back into the room for a few minutes and came back with her braided in front of her. She didn't have her coat on, but neither did Ichigo.

"I came back to ask you something but I saw Isane sitting here looking a bit troubled so I sat with her, I didn't know you would have went to sleep so quick I'm sorry." Ichigo had explained himself and Unohana sat down next to Isane.

"That's fine, thank you for keeping her company for me, what did you need to ask, so urgently?"

"I wanted to know if my friends and sisters can stay here in your barracks in two of the spare rooms. They're human, and I think that they might be safer here, my squad if I remember, should be training in fighting multiple opponents at the moment. Shunsui said that they would be fine to come, as long there are no captain level fights anywhere near them. And that includes me training my squad, because I'm not exactly lenient when I train them. My dad can stay with me, since he won't be in his body, or gigai, I'm not sure what he uses there."

"Very well, are they part of the wedding or just attending?" Retsu raised an eyebrow and turned to him.

"two of them are part of it, the Maid of Honor, and Flower Girl. My sister, Yuzu, is the Flower Girl, and Orihime's best friend Tatsuki, is the Maid of Honor. My other sister Karin, and my friend Keigo are just attending it, along with my dad."

"That's nice, but since I only had around ten minutes of sleep tonight…I'm going back to bed, you're welcome to keep Isane company if you want. Good night Isane, Ichigo." She stood up and walked back into her room and collapsed onto the bed, asleep within seconds.

"Ichigo, you don't have to stay with me if you don't want to." Isane had said while looking up at the stars.

"Nonsense, you're my friend, I'll stay here with you, anyway, the sun will rise soon, and I haven't watched a sunrise in years." He reached over and ruffled her hair.

"You can be annoying when you want to can't you?" she said in a sarcastic tone while fixing her hair.

"I try. Oh yeah, how is it with Nanao?" Ichigo smirked when he remembered that she liked Nanao.

"We…are doing fine. And why for the past week did I see the squad two captain run back and forth between your barracks and hers?" Isane was unsure if she wanted the answer.

"What, they're still doing that at my barracks!?"

"Doing what!?" Now she was too curious.

"Let's just say…heavy petting?" Ichigo found it hard to say, since it was going on in his bed.

"Wonderful, now I know why everyone likes you, you let them screw each other in your bed." Isane could barely speak behind her laughter.

"I'm starting to think so!" The two of them continued to joke back and forth for another hour.

"Ichigo, look the sun is rising." Isane had pointed off in the distance gaining his attention.

"Wow, I never watched the sunrise in the soul society, it's so beautiful." Ichigo spoke softly as he looked at the soft orange glow reach into the sky.

"It really is." Isane had said as he stood up. "You going now?"

"Yeah, I need to get to the world of the living as soon as possible, so I can get a gigai, don't need a captain running around attracting hollows."

"Well to be fair, you're spiritual pressure is that of a lieutenant because of that armband, so I don't think it would be that much of a problem. But either way, bye and thanks for staying with me."

"Anytime Isane, see you later. Tell Orihime I'll be back later today." He sped off to the Senkaimon.

…

He appeared this time a few minutes from his house. As he started to make his way to Urahara's he was stopped by a Shinigami.

"Hey you! What are you doing here!? This is my turf! State your name! And I don't think you're a shinigami either, since only Captain Commander Kyoraku has two zanpakuto!" it was the completely useless person who replaced Rukia.

"Huh? Oh, you're still alive…Imoyama-san." Ichigo found his name hard to remember.

"Eh? It's you!? And my name is Zennosuke Kurumadani! Show some respect you…what are you again…substitute!" After demanding respect from Ichigo, he started laughing. Ichigo let out a sigh and flash stepped behind him and just stood there.

"You show respect." Ichigo spoke slowly and when the incompetent one turned around Ichigo flash stepped behind him again.

"What the hell are you, you're way too fast!" he started to panic when he lost sight of Ichigo again. "Who are you!?"

"The strongest captain in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. I am Ichigo Kurosaki, captain of squad five." He spoke calmly as the man in front of him started to panic even more for having insulted the strongest captain, even though Ichigo lied, knowing he was no more than lieutenant level at the moment, then Kurumadani felt his spiritual pressure.

"Hah what a lie, you're no stronger than a lieutenant, your spiritual pressure is way too low!" he had started laughing again. Ichigo sighed, then removed the band from his arm, and spiked his pressure. This made the other start to shake with fear for he couldn't tolerate his large amount of power. Ichigo was going to put the band back on when he heard the roar of a hollow, it happened to be a Menos Grande from behind him. The shaking man in front of him had managed to lift an arm and point.

"I'll be right back." Ichigo took hold of the sword on his back and attacked the Menos, splitting it down the middle. In Kurumadani's eyes, Ichigo disappeared for a split second and the Menos was in half. Ichigo slipped the band back on quickly as to avoid another Menos coming. Kurumadani had regained control of his body and quickly apologized when Ichigo looked back at him. "How many times do I have to save you before you become competent?" Ichigo said blankly, obviously annoyed by the man in front of him.

"I'm sorry Captain Kurosaki! Please continue your business!"

"I'll let you deal with hollows, but if I sense one for too long, I will make sure you are replaced. This town means too much to me to leave it in your hands." Ichigo decided to keep playing with this man's mind and completely disappear.

"Yes sir! Eh? He's gone!? I didn't even blink!" Ichigo had flash stepped away to Urahara's shop, and went in, not bothering to stop because of the closed sign.

"Yo! Urahara!" a minute later the familiar green hat appeared, but it wasn't Urahara, it was a light skinned woman in her twenties with long black hair down to her lower back, wearing nothing but a blanket tied up like a dress.

"Can I help you sir?" the woman said much to Ichigo's surprise.

"Okay, this really shouldn't surprise me, but you can see me. Is Urahara here?"

"Yes Ichigo, I'm here!" the crazy shop owner had ran in from the same room that the woman had come out of and he took his hat back and lead Ichigo into a back room.

"Who was that?" Ichigo asked looking back out the door.

"Details, details. What do you need so early?" Urahara yawned over his question.

"Something to separate soul from body, like that glove Rukia had. I need to take some people with me to soul society."

"Ah, I have something like that for you, just one second…" he stood up and walked out, some rustling sound could be heard, then he walked back in with a box. "Here you go, this is similar to what Rukia had. But it attaches to the hilt of your zanpakuto…which I'm noticing there are two of them, nice. Here put this on the sheathed one." He handed him something that resembled a poker chip with a blue flame on it with claws to grab the hilt. Ichigo put it near the sheathed sword and the ribbon hanging off of it retreated until it didn't hang off, and the chip thing clamped onto the hilt. "Just slam that into someone you wish to separate, and bring me their physical body, I'll hide it here for you, I'll be in the soul society tomorrow to set up the wedding."

"Thanks Urahara, I'll bring by their bodies later." Ichigo stood up and walked out of the room, only to run into the woman who was coming around a corner, knocking her down and opening the blanket. She screamed and Ichigo had jumped over her and ran out the door yelling. "Sorry Lady!" He kept running until he reached his house, making sure not to go too fast, as to give his family time to wake up.

Ichigo came up to his house, and slowly and quietly opened the front door, since his family never locked it. He quietly walked in and set his two zanpakuto against a wall. And waited in front of the front door, looking at the staircase, after about five minutes he sat down.

After a few more minutes he heard footsteps and stood up slowly to not make any noise. The footsteps belonged to Yuzu, who was usually the first one up to make breakfast. She noticed the person standing in front of the door and shrieked with joy as she jumped into his arms.

"Ichi-nii! I missed you!" the bubbly twin said with a smile.

"What happened Yuzu?" Karin had asked from the top of the stairs and started to walk down.

"Hey Karin." Ichigo said as he looked up at the second twin.

"Ichigo!" Karin had ran down the stairs and hugged him, then a third set of footsteps were heard.

"Why don't you two go sit down, he's no doubt going to attack me." He pushed the two girls over to the side and stood waiting for his father's attack and sure enough…

"IIIIICHIIIIGOOO!" his father had come flying down the stairs with a foot out in front of him to kick him, Ichigo, not being in a gigai, had flash stepped behind him and spoke. The twins had no idea what happened, all they saw was Ichigo disappear and appear behind their dad.

"What the hell kind of greeting is that?" As he punched his dad in the back of the head.
