"My darling Ichigo! Come give papa a hug!" Kurosaki Isshin shouted joyfully as he lunged towards the redhead. Not even pausing in her walk, she sidestepped his lunge and kicked his legs up, making him flip involuntarily and fall onto his back. "Ow…why is my beautiful daughter so mean, Masaki?" Isshin whined, rushing towards the large poster of a light brown haired woman hanging on the wall.
"Oyaji, when will you take that poster off the wall? It's pathetic," Ichigo said casually as she began to make breakfast. Taking out some eggs, spices, and herbs, she decided to make omelets today.
"!" Isshin was horrified. It was like several blocks of concrete has smashed onto his head at Ichigo's words. He fell down in a dead faint.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, onee-sama," Yuzu murmured quietly, rubbing her eyes as she made her way into the kitchen. "Can I help?"
"Sure, Yuzu, but can you wake up Karin first?" Ichigo said, cracking eggs into a bowl and began mixing various shredded greens into it.
Yuzu nodded before pausing, just realizing her father was on the ground unconscious before shrugging and stepping over him.
Yuzu came back a few moments later, donning a light yellow apron and washing her hands. "Karin will be out in a few minutes, and Rukia is joining us for breakfast too, nee-sama."
"Rukia?" Ichigo asked, frowning at the unfamiliar name.
"She's…" Yuzu looked over to make sure no one else was around other than her father lying on the ground and the two of them, "Rukia's the Shinigami who gave Karin and I powers. She somehow lost hers, so the two of us have been taking her place."
Ichigo gestured for Yuzu to watch over and finish cooking the omelets before shifting over to prepare the table. "How did she give you your powers? And why?" she inquired, trying to be calm when all of her instincts demanded she throw the nuisance out to the streets.
"A mons- hollow," Yuzu corrected herself, "attacked Karin and I on the way home from school. Rukia tried to protect us, but because Karin refused to believe in ghosts and I could only hear them, we got in the way and she got hurt. She told Karin to stab herself with the sword to kill the hollow. When she did it, a bright light surrounded the both of us and I felt really cold for some reason. When the light died, the both of us were dressed in shihakushou with swords in our hands."
Ichigo hummed as she began moving the food to the table.
"Do you know why I gained powers to, nee-sama? Rukia says only Karin should have gotten them as she was the one to stab herself with the blade," Yuzu asked as she seated herself at the table.
"You and Karin are twins," Ichigo began. "You may be fraternal now, but your soul says otherwise. Twins are basically the same souls split in half. When you were reborn, you got separated into fraternal bodies, but don't you think it's weird how close you and Karin are and how you two seem to understand each other so well, as if you could read each other's minds?"
"Aa," Yuzu said, nodding softly as she thought about what Ichigo revealed. "So Karin and I are the same, we just got separated and don't look alike anymore?"
Ichigo shook her head. "You guys have been separated for a long time, a soul split into two becomes their own beings. You still have the spiritual connection, but you are your own person, Yuzu, never forget that. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise."
"Ohayo, nee-sama," Karin yawned, snatching a seat by Yuzu.
A petite black-haired girl remained standing, amethyst eyes staring at the redhead uncertainly.
"You must be Rukia, please, sit," Ichigo said, resolutely ignoring Haku's call for blood and violence. It was going to be a long morning as her father began stirring on the ground, his loud groans echoing in the quiet atmosphere.

More fillers. The story should get rolling in a few chapters depending on how long Ichigo is going to take to interfere since this is mostly based around her. Plus, my muse has been silent for the last two weeks on this story, and has kindly decided to give me 3 new story ideas that I have shelved into the my prompts folder for later.
Am I making Ichigo seem too soft? I just figured that since she's a girl and more motherly, she would be tenderer to the twins than the awkward big brother.
And how should she react to Rukia? Cold? Aloof? Motherly/Sisterly? How should their relationship be? Friends? Sisters? Maternal figure? Tell me~
I am still undecided on the pairing until then, so review, tell me your thoughts, and submit a pairing!
