By the way, in this story, Ichigo and Toshiro have got a sort of quiet relationship going on that only Matsumoto and Ukitake Taichou know about. Anyway...

Let the second chapter...BEGIN!.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Taichou?!" Mastumoto gasped quietly. Said boy just walked in quietly and sat down next to Mariko, looking down at his hands in his lap. Mariko looked up at the three shinigami and tilted her head to the left side slightly before looking over to Kouta. Kouta looked at Mariko and Toshiro and then at the shinigami on the other side of the table. Trust him to forget to tell the two youngest in the house that three new people were comming to stay with them for a while. He smiled at Mariko and Toshiro before looking over to the shinigami. He tapped to table, with his finger, three times, getting the white haired boy to look up.

"Well, Mariko, Shiro, this is Matsumoto, Ichigo and Ukitake...Say hello" Mariko and Toshiro blinked before Mariko smiled and waved slightly at the three opposite her.

"Konichiwa Matsumoto, Ichigo and Ukitake...Well?, say hello Shiro" Toshiro looked at Mariko and then at the three shinigami. He stayed silent for a few more seconds before he opened his mouth slightly.

"Konichiwa" He said before looking back down to the hands in his lap. Mariko smiled and patted him on the head. Next thing anyone knew, Nyuu had launched herself from her seat and straight into Toshiro, knocking him down to the ground. Kouta and Mariko sighed and Nana just rolled her eyes. The boy underneath didn't really bother in trying to get her off. He knew he would lose.

"Shiro, Shiro, kawaii kawaii kawaii, nyuu nyuu nyuu...NNNYYYUUUUUU!" She screamed at the top of her voice, making almost everyone wince as their ear drums went POP!. There was a slight mumbling from the white haired boy and soon Nyuu had gotten off him and was dragging him into the kitchen.

"What was that about?" Asked Nana. Kouta just shook his head and began to start on his breakfast. Nana and Mariko also started on their food while Matsumoto, Ichigo and Ukitake just stared into the kitchen door. Why the hell was Toshiro hanging round in this village and why had he acted as if he had never seen them before?. They all snapped out of their thought when Nyuu came running back in the room, wearing her light purple bikini outfit, running from one end of the room to the other so fast you could just make out colours and nothing else, shouting 'Nyuu nyuu nyuu'. Toshiro soon walked through the door wearing a pair of black swimming shorts, a towel around his waist and carrying eight sets of towels. Mariko and Nana smiled up at them and ran out of the living room and upstairs. Kouta sighed before looking over to the shinigami at the end of the table.

"Nyuu and Shiro want you to go swimming with them in the pool out back, you don't have to if you dont want to" Ukitake looked at Ichigo and Matsumoto before smiling up at Kouta and Toshiro who had walked over to them.

"I wont be able to because im not too good at the moment but Matsumoto and Ichigo would love to, but they haven't got any costumes yet" In a flash, Matsumoto and Ichigo had been given their towels by Toshiro and now he was handing Kouta his.

"Nyuu nyuu" Was all he said and the two shinigami looked down at their towels and opening them up. Two swimming costumes fell to the ground. Matsumoto had a pink and white stripped bikini outfit and Ichigo had a orange pair of swimming shorts. Kouta opened his and patted Toshiro on the head lightly.

"Looks like Shiro and Nyuu got everything sorted for you" Kouta stood up and walked out of the room, leaving the shinigami, Toshiro and the still running Nyuu in the room.

Nyuu continued to run until she collided with something, or someone. Both Nyuu and Toshiro went crashing to the floor, almost knocking the one photo of Kanae to the floor. Toshiro pushed Nyuu off him and pulled her back to her feet. As soon as she was up, a shout was heard from upstairs.

"Shiro, I can't get my ribbon off can you help me?" Shouted Mariko. Toshiro silently walked out off the room, followed shortly by the now bouncing Nyuu. Ukitake smiled before standing up and picking up Ichigo with him.

"Matsumoto, you should get changed in here and Ichigo can get changed in the bathroom across the hall" Matsumoto nodded and watched as the two male shinigami walked out of the room. She smiled to herself and began to change.

Just as she finished folding her clothes up, Ichigo came walking back in wearing the shorts Toshiro had given him, followed by Ukitake and Kouta, who was wearing a pair of deep blue shorts, carrying the towels Toshiro had put down.

"We should go in while the girls are taking care of their ribbons and costumes" Ichigo and Matsumoto nodded and followed the two out of the living room and to the pool. Matsumoto sat down at the side of the pool, kicking the water lightly as Kouta and Ichigo climbed into the water. Two seconds after getting in the pool, a door slamming shut was heard. Matsumoto looked over her shoulder while Kouta whispered in Ichigo's ear and both swam to the side of the pool.

"Matsumoto, you should get in the water or on the wall 'cause they're gonna splash you badly" Matsumoto looked at Kouta and nodded as she slowly slipped into the water and swam over to the boys. The sound of running footsteps was heard and soon the gang at the pool could see four people running straight to the pool. Nana was wearing a plain pink swimming suit while Mariko was wearing a white swimming suit with frills on the arms and legs. Matsumoto and Ichigo soon saw why they were moved to the other side of the pool. All four went crashing into the water at the same time, water splashing high into the sky and all over the ground.

After a second four heads came back up to the surface of the water, when Matsumoto noticed something about all of them. They all had small, almost cat like ears just on either side of their head. She stopped thinking about once Toshiro swam over to her, carrying a huge beach ball perfectly balanced on top of his head, the two neko like ears holding it steadily. Matsumoto smiled at him and took the ball off of his head before throwing it back at him. He jumped into the air and just caught it as he came falling back down. He looked over to Matsumoto and smiled up at her.

Matsumoto gasped. She had never seen her taichou smile in all her after life. They soon continued to play the little game of catch, Matsumoto almost jumping of joy every time Toshiro smiled at her when he or she caught the ball.

Ichigo looked up to see Nana swimming over to him. She smiled up at him and he smiled back as she finished swimming and was floating just next to him, her feet planted to the wall as is she was going to fire herself off at any given second.

"Ne, Ichigo, do you want to have a swimming contest?" Ichigo smirked at Nana and soon both of them were racing from one end of the pool to the other, battering Mariko and Toshiro round when they swam by them. Mariko sat down on the side of the pool and smiled at the fact everyone was enjoying themselves. She soon decided that she had had enough and got her dark purple towel and sat down next to Ukitake as the two soon began to have a convasation about the surrounding village.

Nyuu had decided that she wanted to join in the swimming race but soon found out that splashing around like an idiot in one place for fifteen minutes was not how take part and soon gave up and went to swim with Kouta.

"Do you want to ask Shiro and Matsumoto to play water volley ball with us?" Nyuu looked at Kouta and then over to Toshiro and Matsumoto before a huge smile crossed her face. She left Kouta in a flash and soon appeared next to Toshiro and Matsumoto. She began to flail her arms above her head to catch their attention.

"Ah, Nyuu, what do you want?" Asked Matsumoto kindly once she noticed Nyuu was behind. Nyuu smiled and began jumping up and down excitedly.

"Nyuu, nyuu, nyuu nyuu nyuu nyuu...NYUU!" She cheered while Matsumoto tried to guess what she was actually saying to her.

"She wants to know if you want to play water volley ball with us" Shouted Kouta from the center of the pool, a huge net tied to two posts just next to the pool. Nyuu nodded her head up and down showing that that was what she had meant. Matsumoto smiled before looking behind to her confusing Taichou. He was holding the ball balanced on his head and feet planted on to the side of the pool. Toshiro smiled before luanching himself over to where Kouta was to give him the giant ball. Matsumoto swam calmly over to them and smiled when both Nyuu and Toshiro held their arm out to the opposite side, whacking both Ichigo and Nana in the head quite painfully. Both swimmers stopped and looked up to the two. Nana looked around and smiled when she found the giant net. Nana swam over to the side where Mariko and Ukitake were sitting and leaned against the side.

"Hey Mariko, do you wanna play with us too?" Mariko looked away from the cloud she had been staring at and looked over to Nana with a sweet smile on her face. She took off her towel and jumped straight back into the pool. She came back up to the surface of the water and her and Nana swam over to everyone else. Once the game was set and the rules were explained, the group split into two groups. Boys vs. Girls. The girls had the advantage as they had one more person then the boys did.

"Ready groups, boys will serve first" Announced Ukitake from the side as he passed the ball to Ichigo. Ichigo threw it in the air and batted it with all his might above the net and down to the water. Nana dived down and batted it back to the boys, which Kouta missed meaning the girls got their first point. The ball was given to Nana. Nana gently hit the ball so it just missed the net. Kouta bounced it back over and Matsumoto hurled it at Ichigo. Ichigo panicked and smacked it straight to Mariko, who wasn't actually paying attention and having a waving game with Toshiro who wasn't paying attention either. The ball was about to hit Mariko in the head when Toshiro made a huge splash, warning Mariko about the ball. She looked up and tried to hit it but missed slightly, the ball hitting the water. The boys scored their first point while Nana and Matsumoto helped Mariko feel better about missing the ball.

Once Mariko was cheered up and happy, the game continued. Both Toshiro and Mariko just watched from where they stood. The two boys and the three girls continued until the game was a tie, each team needing to score the last point. Toshiro and Mariko hadn't joined in all throughout and were kind of happy they didn't. The two teams had begun to become agressive once the girls had scored six points with the boys on five.

Both teams huddled up and made a final desision before pulling their other team member in to tell them the plan while in the girl's team, Matsumoto had blanked out through the whole thing and it looked as though Ichigo had aswell.

It was the girl's turn to serve and the ball was given to the smiling Mariko. Both Matsumoto and Ichigo snapped out of thought and had no idea what had happened. Nana and Nyuu stood round Mariko with the ball and Kouta stood behind Toshiro. Ukitake blew the whistle and Nana and Nyuu grabbed hold of Mariko's legs from underwater and launched her into the air where she smacked the ball with all her might straight at Toshiro. Kouta smiled before Toshiro flipped into the air and batted the ball back at the girls, which Nana missed by an inch. Kouta and Ichigo cheered while Toshiro just swam over to Mariko and patted her on the head lightly.

"Arigatou Shiro, do you want to get out now?" She asked and Toshiro nodded his head lightly. Both the youngest climbed out of the pool, grabbed their towels and sat down on the concrete path while Mariko sang a happy tune. Next to leave the pool was Nana when she hit her head on Nyuu's during a flip in the water. Matsumoto and Ichigo climbed out together with Kouta and Nyuu close behind them.

Once everyone had dried off a bit, they slowly made their way inside the house where everyone got changed again and sat around the large table. After about ten minutes of sitting inside it began to rain outside. There were some convesations here and there before Kouta snapped his fingers as if he had had the world's best idea ever.

"We havn't got any food for dinner tonight...Toshiro, do you want to go this time?" Toshiro looked away from the convisation he was trying to have with Mariko and up to Kouta before smiling and nodded his head before standing up and walking over to Kouta and out of the kitchen.

After about ten minutes he walked back in with Kouta wearing a wolly jumper that looked a little too big for him and a pair of black jeans that made him look so cute. Nyuu stood up and tried to hug him but Toshiro just stood to the side and Nyuu went gliding across the floor and just missed the grandfather clock. Kouta handed Toshiro the money and walked him out to the door wear he helped him with his shoes and handed him an umbrella.

"Shiro, keep your umbrella up or you going to get wet, ok?" Toshiro nodded and took the umbella before opening it and walking outside. He waved goodbye and Kouta waved back. Kouta walked back into the main room to see everyone watching the small boy walk down the path before disapearing behind the garden fence.

----------------------------

"Sir are you sure you want to send him?" Asked a young girl with bright blond hair and crystal blue eyes holding a clip board. A man wearing a black suit and brown hair nodded at the young female and soon the two were in a room with a man with red hair and blue eyes wearing an army camoflage uniform.

"Can we hurry this up so i can go train?" He said rudely and the woman glared at him. Both people walked over to two empty chairs and pasted the clip board over to him. He picked it up and had a quick look at the picture.

"This is the diclonius we need you to hunt down. He has a killing range of ten meters and needs to be brought back alive for testing to continue on his growth" There was a knock on the door and soon a girl with pink hair and blue eyes came in wearing the same uniform as the young man.

"Kontuo, this will be your parter, Mitsana Kurinia" The other girl annoused and Kurinia bowed at Kontuo and the others in the room.

"She has been briefed on what will happen and told the risks of this mission...We are counting on both of you" Said the young woman before she and the older man walked out and back down the hall. The younger girl sat down infront of Kontuo, a deep frown on her face.

"Ok, im not good with the idea of workin' with ya but ya gonna have to except it" She said giving Kontuo a slight shock.

"What happened to 'miss innocent' back there?"

"She died once those snobs left so we got a deal or wha'?" She shouted lightly before holding her left hand out to him. He smiled sarcastically before taking the delicate hand and gripping it roughly. Through the hand shake, he pulling roughly and she was pulled forward until his mouth curest her ear. She felt him smirk against her eye and glared dangerous daggers at the man.

"You ever talk to me like tha' and i'll kill ya myself" He whispered as he let go of her hand and let her take hold of it and try and numb the slight pain there. She looked up and glared.

"I'm not gonna be ittimidated by some dumb ass nutjob of the army...Got it?" All her did was smirk and walk out of the room, leaving the young army female to punch the table in front of her violently in anger.

"Stupid prick" She muttered under her breath as she stayed where she was and made sure not to go running after him to punch him solid in the face.

----------------------------

Toshiro walked silently through the curtain of rain, the umbrella stopping him from getting completely drenched. He waved thankyou to the car as it let him walk pass instead of whoever getting where they needed to be and petted the small black and white dog of a young nine year old girl, from down the road from Kouta, with her mother and father before he arrived at the beach. He walked along the promenade of the sandy beach, heading to the shop, when a strange with blew from behind him, blowing the umbrella right out of his hands and down to the sandy beach.

The umbrella blew down to the sea line, with Toshiro running after it so Kouta wouldn't complain about him being a total clutz. It didn't take long for Toshiro to become completely drenched, his hair was plastered to his forward while his clothes were sticking to his body. But that wasn't going to stop him get Kouta's umbrella. Toshiro extended his right arm as he was so close to catching the umbrella, when he felt something hit his back. At first, it felt like a tiny stone had hit him, then it felt much more painful. His vision started to blur but he still kept trying to jump and catch Kouta's umbrella. But soon it became to painful to jump. His legs felt like jelo and his arms felt no better. His legs so gave out and he quickly fell unconcious with his hair in the water of the sea. The last thing Toshiro remembered seeing was two human figures standing over him with a huge gun on the closest's shoulder.

Toshiro moaned lightly as his head hit something. He opened his eyes slightly to see the clouds above his head moving pretty fast, the rain still beating down against his pale face. He looked down and infront of him to see a man with an army camoflage outfit on dragging him across the sand. He looked up and behind him to see a young woman behind him with a huge gun in her hands. The woman looked down at Toshiro and then ran infront to the man dragging him. They had a short convosation before they arrived at a small junkyard at the other end of the beach. The man dropped Toshiro's legs and stood back slightly, letting toshiro get to him feet.

Once standing up, Toshiro made a run for it, only to be kicked in the back and slapped so hard across the face that it knocked him into the fence behind him. Toshiro grabbed a few of the fence netting loops to try and stop himself from falling to the hard ground but it ended up just making it worse by following him down to the ground and tangling around him. The young girl walked in closer to Toshiro to see if he was ok.

"Kontuo you baka head, you were to capture him, not to try and kill him!" She shouted at him but still keeping her distance from the young white haired boy. Said man just snorted before digging in his pocket and pulling out a ciggarete and an old lighter.

"They didn't say that no harm could come to him so im just making sure he can't put up any sort of fight" He lied as he tried three times to get the fag the catch the light before the ciggarete was actually lit. He took a deep puff before he heard a strange noise come from his lower 'buddy' worker. A sort of pained noise. He looked over to her and almost dropped the fag in his mouth. Her left arm was on the floor with no conection to the rest of her body what so ever. She also had a huge hole in the center of her chest. She looked over to him, blood dripping from her mouth and down her chin onto the sand, showing there was internal bleeding going on.

"Run idi-" Was all she said weakly before her head was violently ripped away from her body by the thin air. Her head rolled towards him and all he did was kick her horrified expressional head as far away as he could. The rest of her body fell to the floor to reveal to small white haired boy standing back up, looking down the ground, his hair plastered to his forhead. Kontuo remembered what he had been told and ran back a few more meters until he was sure that there was ten meters between them. The small boy looked up to him, his emerald eyes as sharp as knives, carving deeply into him. Four clear arms shot out from behind Toshiro and straight for Kontuo. Kontuo stood confident as he felt the wind shift just infront of his face but move no further.

"Its not going to work shrimp, i know all about you and you vectors and how far they can reach, you can't hit me if i stay ten meters back, even if i cant see them" Toshiro smirked as he took a step forward, the invisible arms reaching forward ever so slightly. Kontuo took three steps back rolled to the left and hid behind one of the old broken down boats from the summer season. Toshiro took another three steps forward and, with his vector, lifted the boat high in the air and took aim. Kontuo's eyes widened as he rolled to his right and out of the way as the boat headed straight for him. When he looked back, his eyes widened even more. The small white haired boy had gotten ahold of his gun. His only working gun. He now had no more protection from Toshiro and it wasn't looking good for him at all. The white haired boy smirked before firing nine bullets, all of which hit their target directily in the chest.

"You little-" He growled in pain as he collapsed to the ground. The small boy walked over to him until he was standing over him, one leg either side of his head. He sent down eight vectors, two holding down each arm and leg, and stared down uncaring at his victim.

"Helpless, aren't you...pathetic" He said, no emotion in his voice at all. Kontuo growled at him until he was sure that he felt two small hands push down on his wounds and two at his throat. He looked up to the small boy over him, trying to breath even with two invisable hands wrapped around his throat.

"I'm gonna kill you after i break those arms of yours!!" He shouted as loud as he could. Toshiro just continued to stare at him. He was completely out numbered and he still thought he could run his mouth at him. Well that was going to end right there. Toshiro sent one more vector and stopped it just above Kontuo's eyes. Said man didn't have a clue what was happening until he felt fingers dig themselves straight into his eyes, blood pouring out from the wound it created as he screamed out from the pain in his head. He tried to wave his arms and legs free to stop the pain but screamed out once again in pain as each arm and leg was broken in two different places. Toshiro just looked at the helpless man below him until a huge pain made itself known in his head. He brought his small hands up to his head to stop the pain, his vectors retreating away from the army soldier. Toshiro fell to the ground and slowly took his hands off his head.

"Nyuu...?" He said out quietly as he looked over to body on the floor, his eyes widened. He stood up slowly and walked near him, wondering what had actually happened to him. He stood in a puddle of blood and the man's arms began to flail up and try to hit Toshiro. Toshiro panicked and fell back down to the ground. After a second he shot up and ran towards the bridge, tripping a few times.

He ran away from the junkyard and towards the town, when he knocked into something. Something that felt like a someone. He fell back down with a painful 'BUMP!'. Toshiro looked back up to see the white haired Ukitake looking at him confused. Ukitake smiled as he held his hand out and Toshiro took it and allowed Ukitake to help him back up.

"Arigatou" Toshiro said and Ukitake smiled.

"Where have you been Toshiro, everyone has been worried about you?" Toshiro looked at him and pointed to the beach. Ukitake had no idea why he had been down the beach but right now all that mattered was that he had picked up the meal and had also found Toshiro. He saw how wet the small boy was and took off his jacket before putting it on Toshiro's shoulders. Toshiro looked up at him confused and Ukitake smiled warmly at him and he smiled before looked ahead and wrapping the jacket fully around him for extra warmth. He took Toshiro's small hand and walked the small white haired boy home, making sure he didn't get anymore wet then he already was.

----------------------------------------

Everyone sat up in their seats when the door was opened. Mariko ran out of the room and to the front door where she saw a smiling Ukitake and a soaking wet Toshiro. She bowed lightly to Ukitake before running up to Toshiro and gripping his shoulders tightly, small tears brimming in her eyes.

"Where were all worried to death about you, where did you go, i thought you were...were-" Mariko looked down, trying to hid her tears. Toshiro looked sad before he hugged her tightly, in which she hugged him back just as tightly. She looked up to him and smilled and he smiled back.

"But it doesn't matter now, because your here..come on, we need to get you into some warm pajamas ne?" Toshiro smiled again and nodded as he followed the small girl up the stairs. Ukitake headed into the living room to she everyone looking for Toshiro.

"Don't worry, Shiro is with Mariko upstairs and i have the food" Kouta nodded and took the food from Ukitake and sat it down on the table.

"Where was Shiro?" Asked Nana.

"He was near the beach and he was pointing at it when i asked him where he had been" Everyone nodded. 'Must have lost the umbrella' Thought everyone. Footsteps running at some speed where heard comming down the steps. Everyone looked into the kitchen door to see Mariko in bright pink, spotty pajamas and purple puppy dog shaped slippers(Kawaii i'd love them for crimbo lol hehe XD).

"Kouta, Kouta, Shiro's got a fever, can i eat upstairs so i can keep an eye on him please?" She said using her puppy dog eyes, that matched her puppy dog shoes, and Kouta nodded before giving her a pink and a blue plate of food.

"This is incase he gets better and wants to eat something" Mariko smiled before thanking Kouta and running back upstairs to look after her best friend.

---------------------------------------

After the meals had been finished off and the plates had been washed up by Nana and Matsumoto, the three shinigami headed upstairs to check on Toshiro and Mariko. They knocked and waited a few seconds before opening the door and peeping inside. They all smiled when they saw Toshiro wearing a pair of dark blue pajamas, a small fever blush on his cheeks, and Mariko curled in a ball with her head just near Toshiro's on the pillow. Matsumoto took a step in and, when she put her foot down, the floor creaked and Mariko's eyes fluttered open slowly and looked over to the three at the door. She smiled sweetly before sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"Gomen, i fell asleep for a second" She said sleepily as she checked Toshiro's head and smiled about him slowly getting better. She patted the ground next to her and the three smiled as they walking in and sat down on either side of the bed. Mariko sighed as she tightened her ribbon around her neko like ear. Ichigo watched, wondering what the ears actually were.

"Urm...Mariko, what are those horns on your head?" Mariko looked at Ichigo and then rested her left palm on her horn she had just sorted the ribbon out to. She thought for a second and then smiled up at him.

"There a result of our vectors" She said cheerfully.

"Vectors?" All three shinigami said in unison making the young pink haired girl smile.

"Well, i dont know how to explain this so...i guess i'll just show you" She said and pointed to the black teddy bear on the highest shelf in the white haired boy's room. They looked over as well and gasped once the large bear floated in the air and over to Mariko.

"A vector is something a person called a Diclonius has. We were born into the world with our vectors and they only wake up once we reach the age of four. Normal humans cannot see them so its a perfect weapon to be used if we are in danger...You see, i was locked away since birth by scientists, off the coast of Kamakura, that wanted a test subject to see our weaknesses and power and they even tried to fake my mother, who died a little while after i was born. So once i was freed to capture Nyuu, i killed the fake woman by blowing her up and they blew up my left arm to stop me, like so..." She reached to her left arm and pulled it out of the socket.

"This is why i wear things with sleeves so nobody notices, Nana has fake arms and legs made when she was in a fight but the wierd thing is Nyuu and Shiro don't ever use theirs, but that might be because they both basically forgot who they actaully are and Nyuu used to get scared when we use ares but now shes got used to it over the year" She ended with a small giggle and the three shinigami smiled aswell. At least she had been completely honest with them and hadn't left a detail out for them. And now they knew why Toshiro had acted as if he didn't have a clue who they were at the begining. They all sat quietly until Mariko stood up and brushed her pajama bottoms to get a peice of food off her.

"We should let Shiro rest a while now...Night night Shiro" She waved as she headed to her room. The three new commers nodded and said goodnight to one another before they went to their own rooms for a good night sleep.
