Kai, Ichigo and Aura walked into the great hall after the battle between Shinji and Komamura.
"Seems things got exciting while I left for a moment," Aura said and looked around noticing chairs scattered around the room and people laughing, "No one is hurt that I can see though."
Kai chuckled and then muttered, "Thankfully."
Ichigo glanced around and then asked, "What happened?"
Isshin chuckled, "It seemed a family drama happened, that's what."
"Isshin."
"Ask Komamura and Shinji Pops."
Ichigo looked at his father and then glanced at Shinji, who was standing by Komamura and watching something that he couldn't see. The both of them then sighed and walked toward where they were looking.
"The real question is do we want to know now or later," Kai muttered just loud enough for Ichigo and Aura to hear. Aura was accidental though.
"That is mean Kai," Aura said and walked over to the group.
It remained quiet until dinner time. Then tables were brought in by servants and set up in two long rows. The chairs that were in the room were sat along the tables, though none were placed at the ends.
Then Aura and Kai left the room for a few minutes. When they returned they had a group of several people with them.
Orihime, Chad, and Uryû came in first, following Kai.
Following Aura was . . .
"Karin! Yuzu!" Ichigo called and hurried to his younger sisters.
"Ichigo!" both of them called and then they spotted Isshin, "Dad!"
Kai chuckled and then said, "Couldn't have the family incomplete. Although one member I cannot find."
Ichigo and Isshin looked at each other, knowing why she could not be found.
Aura smiled and then glanced about, "Alright, everything is set so let's eat!"
Trays of food were brought in and arranged along the table then the tops were pulled off and . . .
Someone promptly threw up.
Kai glanced in the direction of the sound to see a blue haired young woman hurling in a trash can, "It isn't going to be that bad . . . I hope."
Several people chuckled, including Moria who had been the one to empty her stomach.
Then someone walked up to her carrying a plate of cooked cabbage. She took one sniff and hurled again.
The person with the cabbage left quickly.
Aura then walked up, "Any specific food triggers?"
"Cooked cabbage, pickles, garlic and *sniff* I don't want to say the last one."
Komamura sighed and then rubbed her back gently, "I like it too."
"I know . . ."
"That's why you don't want to say it?"
*nod*
"I'll say it then, clam chowder."
Shinji sighed, "Means I can't make my famous and favorite dish in celebration of seeing my sister again."
Lisa, Love and Rose, who had been near by when he said that looked depressed.
Rose then came up to Shinji and said, "How about making a big batch once she stops getting sick?"
Shinji glanced at Rose over his shoulder and then grinned, "You just want a bowl."
Love and Rose suddenly said in unison, "OF COURSE!"
Moria blinked and then said something, "Yours doesn't smell the same as the stuff the kitchen at Squad Eight does . . . yours doesn't taste the same either."
"That's it," Lisa said, "You have to make a test batch when we get home."
"Not," Shinji said and walked away to get something to eat.
"Aww," Rose said, "He's no fun."
Komamura and Moria chuckled and then once everyone settled, dinner commenced.
