Chapter 9:Coming Back To Karakura Town

The shinigamis walked out of the senkaimo to appear in Urahara's large, desert-like basement.

"Wow," Sho said as he looked around from his place in between Karin, as he held on to her hand, and Ichigo, who was between him and Toshiro while Rangiku was to Toshiro's left. Rukia, Renji and Tatsuki fell behind them.

"Well this place hasn't changed at all," Tatsuki remarked as she too looked around while the doors closed behind them.

"Welcome back, everyone," came Urahara's cheerful greetings as he smiled at the little gathered group that just came out of the door.

"Urahara," Ichigo said.

Urahara walked up to Sho. "And who's this?" he asked.

Sho smiled. "Hi! I'm Sho, the new 7th seat of the 10th Division! Nice to meet you Urahara-jiji," he said to Urahara.

"Oh, I see," Urahara eyed Toshiro out of the corner of his eyes. "Hitsugaya-taicho, I had no idea-."

"Sho's not his son," Ichigo interrupted, annoyed. "We already made that clear in the meeting!" And he stormed off up stairs.

"...What's wrong with him?" Yuruichi questioned.

"Got his butt wood at the meeting yesterday," Renji answered. "Got anything to eat?" he asked Tessai.

"Hai," Tessai answered with a smiled. "Come, let us go talk up stairs." And the others went upstairs with Toshiro walking next to Karin with Sho in the middle and Rangiku to his other side, his eyes closed and a calm face on.

"Tech, Free Loader," Jinta said before walking with them, Ururu by his side.

Urahara watched them as he walked behind the four, half of his face hidden behind his fan.

"Hmm," said Urahara as he eyed Karin, Sho and Toshiro with wondering eyes.

Once everyone got up to the shop, they all sat themselves around the table. When Ichigo saw that Karin walked in with Toshiro, his eye twitched before he moved to sit himself on the left side of her while Toshiro plopped himself down on the right, his eyes still closed and a calm look on his face. Once he sat down, Toshiro opened his left eye and looked at Ichigo, who grinned his teeth at the smile that he was sure was in Toshiro's blue eyes.

'Wait, blue?' Ichigo questioned in his head as he shook his head and looked again, this time to fine that Toshiro had both eyes opened and was instead looking at the smiling Sho, who was sitting on Karin's lap, as he eat his candy.

"Alright then, on to business now," said Urahara as he sat down in front of them. "I was already informed about what's happening and was told to make perpetrations for your arrivals. I have all you're gigaies ready for you. Even Sho, whose profile was sent to me before head." he looked at Sho eating cookies in Karin's lap. "I've also arranged your living arrangements as well. You well all be staying at the Kurosaki house-."

"It's still there?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes," Urahara smiled behind his fan. "Isshin-san told me to keep the house in case things like this happened and a place to stay in the human world is needed."

"By the way, how did you cover up for us anyways?" Karin asked. "Did you erase their memories or something?"

"No! Of course not Karin-san," Urahara said. "That's too much work. No. All I did was told someone that Isshin-san moved away after finding out that all his children died. That he went into a depression! And you know how fast rumors speards."

Karin nodded as everyone eyed Rangiku, who was also eating cookies and feedinf some to the cute and adorable Sho.

"What?" she looked up, confused to fine everyone looking at her.

"Nothing," Karin said as she and everyone else looked away, her dark eyes closed.

"Depression hah?" Toshiro suddenly spoke up. "Hard to image it… Isshin-taicho in a depression…"

The others nodded in agreement.

"At any rate," Urahara continued. "Since it's been only about 10 years, and you all still look the same, something needs to be done in order to cover up for who you really are. So try not to get found out or run into old friends, alright?" Urahara smiled.

Karin frowned at the cocky shop keeper.

"Speaking of old friends," Tatsuki spoke up, "how's Orihime, Ishida, and Sado?"

Urahara smiled and hide behind his fan again.

"Inoue-san is now Ishida-san," he answered from behind his fan.

"Really?" Tatsuki asked.

Yuruichi nodded. "Been one for four years now," she said. "They also have a son Sho's age named Aoi."

"Sho's 6 years old, Yuruichi-sensei," Karin said.

"He is?" Yuruichi asked. "Oh, I forgot. Souls age differently then humans do…"

"Anyways," Urahara said. "Ishida-san is now working at the hospital with his father and his wife is a nurse there. Sado-san is still around. He's working at some factory right now. I believe a machine factory. He can work out there by lifting heavy stuff. Over all, they're fine, though they really do miss you Ichigo."

Ichigo smiled a bit at that.

"Also, they still continue to watch over this town and its residence as you have done, Kurosaki-kun, Karin-san."

"That's good to know," Ichigo smiled warmly.

The grouped walked along the road in the hot summer air. They were now in their gigaies and where on their way to their new home. Their cover up was a family of orphans who came out of the orphanage to live their lives together with friends and start over, with Rangiku being the eldest of them all and taking care of them. They were all using the clink as a cover up for their jobs and where they get their money from as well.

In their gigias, all the girls where wearing some kind of dress. Rangiku had on a short green dress with an orange over coat fit for summer while Rukia wore a sleeveless sky blue long dress that reached her knees with a light brown sun hat on her head. Tatsuki wore a white shirt with a black short sleeve black coat over it and a short, brownish green shirt. She was not liking the high heels Urahara put her in as she had trouble walking, but Renji seemed to enjoyed it as he held her up by her elbow and walked with her with a wide smile on his face. Karin wore a black sundress that went down to her knees with flowers decorations on it. She two, like the rest, wore a high heel, but not as high, and had on a sun hat to hide herself from the burning sun.

"That crazy scientist," Tatsuki grumbled out. "I swear he did this for fun, dressing us up and down like this…"

Ichigo wore a black long pants and a blue shirt while Renji wore blue jeans and a yellow shirt with a sleeveless white vast on top, a white head bane on his head. Toshiro wore dark, blue jeans and a black t-shirt with the number 8 on it. Sho wore short jeans and a blue shirt with an orange hat on his head as Rangiku held onto him.

"Well, here we are," Ichigo said as they all stopped in front of the house. "Home sweet home."

Suddenly, the wind blew and knocked Karin's hat off her head.

"Oh," Karin said as she went after her hat.

A brown haired man picked it up. "Its this yours?" he asked.

"Yes," Karin answered the older looking man as she took it out of his hand. Once she touched the hat, Karin's head jerked back a bit, shocked.

"Be more careful next time," the man smiled as he went into the house next door to them.

Karin watched after him. "…Seems like we have new neighbors," she whispered as she put her hat back on.

"Karin," Toshiro called over, Sho now in his arms since Rangiku got tired of holding him.

"Coming!" Karin called over as she ran back to him and they both went into the house, but not before looking to the house next door first to fine the man hugging his wife happily.

"Okay, now for the sleeping arrangements," Ichigo said as they all sat down in the living room. "Karin, you and Rangiku-san will sleep in the same room together up stairs, in yours and Yuzu's old room."

"Sho's sleeping with us too," Karin said.

"…Fine," Ichigo gave in. "But he better not-."

"His's a 6 year old in the body of a 3 year old, Ichigo," Rukia said. "What can he do? Besides, I don't even think he knows about that stuff anyways! So don't put it into his head!" Rukia hit him on the head.

"Ow!" Ichigo shouted. "God damn it woman!"

"Tatsuki-nee and Renji," Karin continued for Ichigo, since he was now arguing with Rukia, "you guys take the guest room down stairs to the right. Toshiro, you sleep in Ichigo's old room and Sho will sometime be sleeping with you when he wants too."

Toshiro nodded.

"I get to sleep with both Tou-san and Ka-san?" Sho asked, his face lighting up.

"Says who?!" Ichigo shouted as he turned towards them. "Who said you'd sleep together?!"

"Don't ignore me Ichigo!" Rukia yelled as he hit him again and they got back to their fights.

"And Ichigo and Rukia-nee will take Goat Face's old room," Karin finished with a board look on her face.

"What?!" Ichigo and Rukia yelled out together as they both stopped their fights and turned their heads back to look at her.

"You heard me," Karin said. "There's no use in hiding it now anyways. Byakuya's not here and we won't tell." She eyed the now blushing couple.

"How did you-?" Ichigo asked.

"Please!" Karin looked up. "Like you could hind it forever. Besides Ichi-nii, you better make this count. I want someone to play with Sho soon." And she walked off into the kitchen with Sho in her arms, intending to put him to sleep since it was already noon, his nape time.

"What do you mean by that?" Ichigo yelled after her, a deep blush on his face as he looked back to the equally embarrassed Rukia.

"Hey, someone needs to go and buy some food for us here!" Karin shouted from the kitchen. "There's nothing in the refrigerator! And we need to eat people!"

"Let's go out and eat for today then," Renji suggested as Karin walked out of the kitchen.

"Right!" Rangiku clapped her hands together, a big smile on her face. "We can also go shopping for food and clothing later too!"

"Matsumoto," Toshiro warned as he glared at her.

Rangiku moved back a bit. "I-I won't get carried away Taicho," she said. "I promise."

Toshiro sighed. "Fine, but you're paying for them."

"Oh thank you Taicho." Rangiku hugged him.

"And when we get back, you're doing your own paperwork." Toshiro walked out.

"Taicho~!"

"Hai, let's go to this one guys!" Rangiku called over as she pointed to the restaurant in the back of hers.

"The 'Magic Mirror'?" Tatsuki said.

"Well, at lest it sells food," Renji shrugged as he walked in with Rangiku.

Tatsuki followed them. "I don't know…" she said as she walked in.

Rukia and Ichigo looked at each other and shrugged before following them in.

Toshiro and Karin, who held Sho in her arms, looked up at the sign as it stared down at them before walking into the shop.

"Welcome!" came a man's voice as a man who looked like he was in high school, with black hair and eyes, greeted them. "How many are there today, guests?"

"8 people please," Ichigo answered.

"Of course, right this way please," the man with the man tag 'Yanagi Takachiho' on lead them into the shop and to two tables counted to each other and they sat down. He handed the black menu out for them all to view.

"Please take your time and once you're ready, just ring that bell and I'll be right with you," he explained before excusing himself with a bow and left, passing Karin and Toshiro by as he looked down at them with a smile on his handsome face.

As the gang decides what they want to eat, another group of people came in.

"Oh, welcome back everyone," Takachiho greeted the group that came it. "How was it?" he asked.

"Fine," Oz answered. "Uncle Minato and I finally finished it up. When I came, I ran in to them on my way here. Where's Takumi-nii?"

"In the kitchen, with Naomi," another black haired girl answered, coming up from behind Takachiho.

"Naomi-chan's here too, Hotaru-chan?" Oz asked with happiness in his voice.

Hotaru nodded her head.

"And Mitsukuni?" Kanako asked.

"He's still eating cake in the back room," Hotaru answered.

"Where's Killua and Honoka?" Takachiho asked as the others sat down and talked.

"Killua had to get back to finish his paperwork that he left behind and Honoka went with him to make sure that he doesn't slack off again," Kenric answered.

"And Zen?" came a voice from the kitchen door.

Karin looked up at the voice and turned her head towards it. She watched as Takumi stepped out of the kitchen door way.

"Where is that damn... man now?" he asked, holding himself back upon realizing that they had guest.

"He went back to give his report to Father," Kanako answered her eldest brother. "Also, he said for Gin to go see him later."

Rangiku stiffened at the mention of that name as memories of Ichimaru Gin came back to her and she looked down, sad.

Toshiro watched her from his place beside Sho and across from Ichigo.

The white fox in the back room with Mitsukuni nodded once he heard his order before leaving the dimension through the back doorway.

"Takumi-nii," Oz greeded his older brother.

Takumi nodded at his younger brother.

"So, Aniki," Kenric said. "Did Lucien finally show up?"

Takumi shook his head at his other younger brother.

"Not yet," he answered. "Anyways, you hungry?"

"Starving Aniki/Onii-chan," Kenric and Kanako said together.

Takumi smiled at them. "Food will be right out then." He then turned towards Karin and Toshiro, his eyes narrowing on the three; Karin, Toshiro and Sho as he walked over to stand behind Karin, who'd looked back at her menu again. "You guys ready to order yet?" he asked them.

"Yes, we'll take…" Rangiku began as she gave him the orders and Takachiho came and wrote them all down for them while Takumi went back into the kitchen to get started on the food with Naomi.

"Man that was good lunch," Renji said as he leaned back on the chair.

"Well, let's go," Ichigo said as he put away his wallet.

Everyone stood up and walked out.

"Come again," Takachiho bowed.

"We will," Rangiku waved at him with a smile on her face, "handsome."

Takachiho smiled awkwardly before looking back at everyone else.

Toshiro looked at Takumi, who looked back at him, out of the corner of his eyes. Takumi smiled as he looked to Sho before gesturing to Karin. Toshiro nodded his head.

"Shopping!" Rangiku screamed at the top of her lungs, as she looked at all the clothes on sell.

Toshiro sighed as he watched his 2nd in command go crazy over human world clothes as she dragged the other girls along, whom in turned grabbed onto their boyfriends as they got dragged on into the mess.

Karin looked over to him as she picked up some fruits and vegetables.

"I'm surprised," she suddenly said.

"Hah?" Toshiro turned back to her.

"That he didn't try to do anything to you, much less suffocate you to death with his water prison, that Water Dragon," Karin explained as she picked up some apples. "What some apples, Sho?" she looked at Sho.

"Watermelon!" Sho shouted happily as he pointed towards the watermelons.

"Okay, okay," Karin chuckled as she let Sho drag her towards the watermelons.

Toshiro smiled and walked off after them.

"Hah?" Ichigo suddenly looked up as he looked around. "Where's Karin?" he looked around again, this time going all the way around to 360. "And where's Toshiro? Toshiro!" he ran off to fine them as his brother instinct kicked it on full drive.
