Ichigo and Rukia headed back home from their eventful day at the park. They had seen practically everyone and it was time for Kaien's nap anyhow. They put him down to sleep in his crib…
"Hey Ichigo! It's about time you showed up at home now how about doing some of those things called chores! You can't just leave all those to your sisters you know! Just because you're a father it is no excuse to-"
"Hey Dad! Pipe down would ya?" Ichigo whispered to Isshin.
"Oh, is Kaien sleeping? Well would you know it? He looks just as innocent as Rukia or even one of the girls when they were babies. Well, I think it's just adorable." Isshin practically became teary eyed from the whole experience.
"Hey Dad," said Ichigo.
"What?"
"Can you leave now?"
Then there was a blank expression on Isshin's face as Ichigo said this.
"What did you say my little trouble maker?" Isshin had a big smile on his face. Then the chaos started as he calmly yanked Ichigo by the ear out the door. He gently shut the door behind him as he smiled at Rukia.
"Me and Ichigo are just going to have a little talk about who runs the business around here."
There was a ruckus downstairs followed by the frantic hollering of Yuzu and Karin.
"Tell me what to do in my own house will ya?! Do you forget who raised you?! When you get your own million-dollar house-slash-clinic then you call the shots there, do you hear me?!"
"Million-dollar-wha-? Alright, alright!! Dad, I'm sorry I won't do it again I swear!"
"We don't swear in this house boy! Swearing is bad are you trying to hurt this family?! You got to think about the new people in your life too do you want them to go away?"
"No Dad. Alright! I won't do it again! Come on Dad!!"
As Isshin released Ichigo from his headlock, the calamity became calmer, Yuzu went back to the kitchen to get things to clean up the new mess and Karin commented on the situation,
"You know you kinda deserved that one Ichigo," she said as she looked up from her book.
"Just shut up would you?"
"You know you don't have to be a brat I can easily call Dad back into the room."
"Alright, sheesh. shouldn't you be cleaning anyway?"
"I should be saying the same thing to you Ichigo because that's what Dad told you to do isn't it?"
"Maybe in a bit."
"That's what I thought."
Ichigo went back up to his room to see Kaien still taking his nap and having mother Rukia watch over him.
"He can really sleep huh?"
As soon as Ichigo said this, Kaien woke up but not peacefully as usual. As soon as Kaien opened his mouth he let out a loud cry. Rukia quickly snatched him up in her arms and cradled him naturally. He was still crying, enough to cause Isshin to come back.
"Ichigo! What'd you do, beat him? Why is he crying like that?"
"I don't know Dad I just said something and now he's awake and grouchy."
"It was probably that loud voice of yours! That voice always got you into trouble!"
"No it hasn't!"
Soon, Isshin was back to attacking Ichigo and the calamity was back. Yuzu had just finished cleaning the mess of the last incident, and Karin was on scene to see what had happened. As the punches and kicks were flying, Kaien became quiet again watching as the two men were wailing on each other. This appeared as entertaining to little Kaien and soon he was laughing hysterically. Rukia couldn't help herself either, both her and Kaien were laughing and then Yuzu and Karin joined in. Isshin and Ichigo looked at each other and smiled seeing as they were fighting over nothing.
"Now I know whenever he starts to cry I'll just come and push Ichigo around a bit," said Isshin as he chuckled a bit and walked back down to his clinic.
Everyone went back to normal and soon Ichigo was taking a nap. Rukia put Kaien down to take the rest of his nap. She set him down on Ichigo and took a picture of the two sleeping. She decided to take a walk over to Urahara's shop as the two lay sleeping….
