Chapter 1

The orange haired man in his 30s stood nearby a tree that was in a kindergarten, tapping his feet on the ground while whistling.

"Can you shut up?" A lady beside him shouted at him, giving a pissed look and started to move an inch away from him. Behind them were a group of impatient parents waiting for their children.

"Ring…!". The bell rang and many children started to rush out from the entrance door towards their parents. Ichigo stared at the door, wondering why his children were not dismissed yet.

Nevermind, he thought. Perhaps they just went to the toilet after school.

So he waited. As time passes by, vehicles have driven off. Parents have already walked away with their kids. Some had ride off with the bicycle to home. Slowly, one by one as they went off, he was left alone.

Then that man started to frown. Where the hell have his kids been to? Now, his patience has been pushed to its limits and he is now storming towards the school main entrance.

He went in, and saw two kids walking down the corridor with a teacher. They had familiar angry faces written over them. Ichigo knew who they were. They were his kids.

The teacher with them then noticed Ichigo's presence and started to say something.

"Oh. Mr Kurosaki, your kids were naughty today. Your daughter had looked up for your son and had a tiff with him. The worse thing was that they almost had a fight."

He knew it. If it was not going to the toilet, it means they have been punished. It has been ALWAYS like this.

His daughter resembled his wife, while his son resembled him. Somehow, both also seemed to have the same attitude as he and his wife. Lucia's attitude was like Rukia's, and Ichiru's attitude was like his, which would end up a though-wonder-there-are-many-quarrels kind of thing.

The teacher then passed him his kids with a warning not to do that again. The kids grumbled and Ichigo started to reprimand them furiously as they were out of the kindergarten compound.

"You naughty little kids, how many times did I ask you not to do such things already?"

Lucia rebutted. "It's not my fault! If he hadn't gone to my classroom and scolded me a butch in front of my classmates, it would not have happened!"

"It's the fact, MISS! You really dress like a boy!"

"You…!" Lucia pointed her finger at him.

They continued their quarrel, ignoring their father's presence. Ichigo then let out a sigh. Gosh! How he wished to give up on his kids! If they did not exist, life would be much peaceful.
