Ichigo
"Happy Birthday, Hibiki! Happy Birthday, Rose!" Everyone shouted excitedly. I looked around with a light blush on my face as the entire guild was filled with everyone's laughter and smiles.
"Aww, look at the cute little guy" the young girl with blue hair named Wendy said as she looked at pictures of a younger Hibiki.
"Come on, guys! Knock it off with the baby pictures, already" Hibiki whined as he sat a few feet away.
He was an abnormally fast learner and he even grew fast too. Hell, he was only ten and was almost four feet tall. His hair was tied back in a spiky low ponytail with the left side of his bangs hanging free and covering his left eye while the rest sat messily, covering his forehead.
"Hibiki-kun~" a group of girls his age cried out.
"Crap!" he cursed and ran off as his 'fans' chased him around the guild.
I slowly walked towards Mira who was currently helping serve everyone.
"Need any help, Mira?" I asked as she nodded lightly.
"Can you bring some more cake over to Rose and Erza, they're blowing through theirs" Mira said with a sweatdrop.
I looked behind her to see Erza and Rose having a stare-down while behind them there was a massive pile of plates which I assume used to hold slices of cake on them.
"You think you can beat my love of cakes, mother?" Rose said with a glint in her eye.
"I'm the original, Rose dear. I've been loving cake longer than you've been alive" Erza responded with a light smile.
"We'll just have to settle this here then, won't we Mother?" Rose challenged with a wicked smile.
"Yes, we will" Erza replied before they both grabbed their next plate and began a cake-eating contest.
Mira and I sweat dropped at that as they continued on with their antics.
'Well, at least they're happy' I thought as I smiled gently.
"ICHIGOOOOOOOOO!" I heard someone yell. I froze mid-step and slowly turned my head towards the sound while silently praying to the Soul King that I was just hearing things. Unfortunately, he must have a sick sense of humor as I saw my insane father rushing flying towards me in a leaping kick with the same dopey look on his face from before.
It seems my reflexes were out of practice as his foot slammed into my face and sent me spiraling into the nearest wall.
"WHAT THE HELL, OLD-MAN?!" I roared as I leapt up immediately.
"Old man?" the guild said questioningly.
"IT SEEMS MY SON'S REFLEXES HAVE FAILED HIM! THUS, I AM NOW SUPERIOR TO H-" He was cut off as I slammed my fist into his face and he crashed into the floor.
"It seems my son wishes to challenge me!" He cried as he leapt up. We both slammed our heads into each other and growled before we were thrown apart by Karin.
"Would you two knock it off! You're supposed to be the adult here and Ichi-nii why do you encourage him?" Karin said as she sighed exasperatedly while Yuzu just laughed nervously.
"Hey, Dad; who are these guys?" Hibiki asked as he walked up with his hands in his pockets.
"DAD?! SO MY SON IS FINALLY A FATHER! DID YOU HEAR THAT MASAKI? ICHIGO, ISN'T GAY AFTER ALL!" Isshin cried out hysterically as he got teary eyed.
A shadow covered my eyes as I stood over Isshin and cracked my knuckles.
"What did you say, Old Man?" I said evilly as he began to sweat nervously.
"BASTARD!" I roared before I chased Isshin around the guild hall.
Hibiki
"What's your name?" the girl with light brown hair asked.
"Mom! You said never to talk to strangers, but what about her!" I shouted as Mom turned towards me.
"That's not a stranger, Hibiki. That's your aunt, Yuzu" she replied.
"Ah, well then; Auntie Yuzu, I'm Hibiki Kurosaki" I said with a slight bow towards Yuzu.
"So cute!" she cried and crushed me in a hug.
"He can't breathe, Yuzu" the girl with black hair said as I started to turn purple.
"AH!" she screeched in surprise and dropped me immediately. I slammed into the ground and groaned as I held the back of my head in pain.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow" I stuttered as Rose walked over to me and offered her hand.
"Thanks sis. It's depressing though" I said as she helped me to my feet.
"What is? Their antics; I thought it was funny actually" she said with a slight giggle.
"No, the fact that I was helped up by a midget~" I said as I chuckled and ran off while she chased after me.
"Baka-Hibiki!" she shouted as we ran around the guild hall.
I flipped over a table as Natsu leapt up breathing flames.
"Fight me, Hibiki!" Natsu roared as I flipped over him.
I sighed and stopped in front of him.
"Fine…." I groaned and took a deep breath as I got in a fighting stance.
"All right!" Natsu shouted as he rushed towards me with his fists ablaze.
"You're in my range" I whispered as I rushed forward with ridiculous speed and slammed my palm into his chest. He stumbled backwards grabbed his clothing and flipped him over my shoulder.
"You lose" I joked as he sat with his arms crossed and pouted.
"Hibiki! Rose! Come on, and meet your grandpa!" Erza and Mira called out.
Ichigo
'Crap, how do I explain to Karin, Yuzu, and the Old Man that I have kids with two women?!' I inwardly kicked myself as the thought hadn't ever crossed my mind.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Rose asked as she looked at me worriedly.
"DAD?!" Isshin screeched.
'The beast has awakened' I thought as I sweat-dropped.
'King, you are so fucked' Shiro agreed as Zangetsu nodded solemnly.
"MY SON HAS CHILDREN WITH NOT ONE BUT TWO WOMEN?! OUR SON IS DEFINITELY NOT GAY, MISAKI AND HE'S GIVEN US BEAUTIFUL GRANDCHILDREN!" he cried.
"BUT WAIT! THAT MEANS HE WAS NOT FAITHFUL AND HAS BECOME A PLAYER! IT'S MY FATHERLY DUTY TO TEACH HIM A LESSON, MISAKI!" He roared as I took off running away from the crazed old man.
Karin and Yuzu both sighed as everyone in the guild sweat dropped.
"Are they always like that?" Mira, Hibiki, Erza, and Rose asked.
"Unfortunately, yes" Karin and Yuzu responded with a sigh.
Next time; the end of Substitute in Fairy Tail! See you then ;3
