Chapter four

Homecoming

Kyo felt like he had been immersed in cold water as he stared up at the Kurosaki's clinic. His brown eyes scanned the sign that hung over it as Rukia stood next to him grinning brightly.

"This must be great for you? I mean I can only imagine what it would be like to find out you have a brother and sisters" Rukia said brightly trying to make small talk with the boy. Kyo shook his head slowly.

"Not really…" he growled lightly as he walked towards the door the moment he stepped foot into the clinics door a foot collided with his head.

"You're late Ichi….wait you're not Ichigo…" Isshin Kurosaki said as he looked at the boy, Kyo, who was sprawled out on the floor. Rukia looked at him and winced then turned on Isshin.

"Kurosaki-san that was very rude!" she said darkly. She then realized that Ichigo was not here. "…Wait didn't Ichigo already get here?" she asked looking around as if expecting to see him. Isshin shook his head.

"Uhh no….I thought that he was with you and when I saw orange hair I just reacted" he laughed. Kyo was pushing himself up glowering slightly his hair on end.

"FORGET THIS SHIT!!!" the boy said as he started for the door. The moment he reached it however, he found Ichigo on the other side blinking at him. Ichigo opened the door and instantly Isshin had delivered a kick Ichigo reached out before if connected and flung his father into a wall with a sigh.

"I see you already met dad…" Ichigo said as he looked at the awestruck Kyo. "Dad this is Kyo Sohma…" Ichigo calmly stated to the dazed man. Isshin shook off his daze quickly however and looked at the orange haired kid something momentarily flickered in his eyes. Kyo could since something was going on in the man's mind but the other seemed to ignore it.

"Ahh pleasure to meet you Kyo-kun" he said brightly as he held out his hand for the boy to shake Kyo took his hand and frowned lightly.

"Right…." He spoke quietly. Ichigo watched him this kid he was so guarded about everything the way he moved and talked everything seemed to conceal his emotions.

"Were going up to my room we have some things we need to study…" Ichigo looked at Rukia who nodded and smiled brightly.

"Oh yes the teacher gave us a pre-test to day have to study!" she said brightly as she followed Ichigo Kyo brought up the lead still keeping a watchful eye on Isshin as if afraid the man would bite him if he wasn't looking. Isshin just watched him leave with a smile on his face. When they all got to Ichigo's room the boy stood in the door as Rukia and Ichigo made there selves comfortable. Why was he here really? Yes, this teen was his long lost brother and that man was his father, but he felt as much connection to them as he did with the Sohma's. He frowned leaning up against the door to Ichigo's room a small stuffed lion was propped up against the wall on his bed. Kyo frowned at it as if that would alleviate the tension between him and the other two. It seemed to twitch under his glare.

"Why didn't you tell your father who I was?" Kyo said shortly as he continued to look at the raggedy thing.

"Oh…well If you can't tell fathers pretty scattered brained…I think I am going to have to wait before I tell him" Ichigo said following Kyo's glare to the lion he picked it up and threw it at the wall. A muffled sound came from it as it hit and a slight smirk played across Ichigo's lips.

"Did that thing just make a noise?" Kyo asked as he walked over to it and picked it up.

"LET ME GO!!!! SISTER SAVE ME!!!" the stuffed animal suddenly yelled as Kyo quickly dropped it.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!!!" he said his hair once again standing on end like a cats. Ichigo frowned and picked it up before punching the thing in the face.

"Damn it Kon! What have I told you about talking when strangers are around!!" he growled at it. The tiger seemed to whimper at the horribly evil face Ichigo was making. Kyo watched him as the thing spoke again.

"But you're the one who threw me!!" Kon whimpered. Rukia watched them and sighed slightly.

"They're always like this…" Rukia rolled her eyes slightly. Kyo looked at her and nodded then looked at Ichigo.

"What was with that sword earlier?" he asked now leaning casually against the wall again Ichigo dropped Kon to look at him and frowned.

"Ahh that… I'm what's called a soul reaper…" He said. Rukia glowered at him lightly.

"Not really Ichigo your only a Substitute until I get my powers back" she said Ichigo smirked at her lightly.

"Ya well I'm doing a much better job then you did little miss I am a perfect soul reaper" He said as he ruffled her hair.

"Ichigo! Rukia! Ichigo's Friend! Dinners Ready!" A young girls voice called up from the stairs. Ichigo stopped what he was doing then stood up.

"We'll be right down Yuzu!" he called down. "Well then come on…" he said lightly.
