Chapter 11: A Hot Morning And An Out Door Breakfast, Killua Returns

(Please read the *NOTE, it's important and part of the story.

A need-to-know to understand info for this story)

Toshiro opened the door and walked into the house.

"Hey Toshiro," came Ichigo's voice from around the corner. "Where have you been?"

"Out patrolling," was Toshiro's answer as he rounded a corner to fine Rangiku setting up the table with Sho helping her.

Toshiro stopped dead the moment he saw her, eyes wide at the plates of food in her hands.

"Oh, hey Taicho!" greeted Rangiku. "Breakfast will be ready in a sec. Come on, sit down." She pulled out a chair for him to sit on the right side of Ichigo, who sat at one head of the table.

Toshiro's eye twisted as he sat down, his gaze never once leaving Rangiku's happy form as she walked back into the kitchen.

"Oy, Kurosaki," he whispered to Ichigo.

"Hah?" Ichigo turned his way.

"Is this okay? Rangiku's cooking…"

"Ka-san cooked today, Tou-san," Sho informed him as he sat down in the middle of Toshiro and one empty chair.

Toshiro froze. "…The kitchen didn't blew up?" he questioned, not willing to touch the food in front of him as he pushed the plate of red curry away from him and looked towards the kitchen, half expecting fire and black smoke to come from it...

"Have a little more fate in me Toshiro!" came Karin's voice as she came out of the kiychen instead and sat on the empty seat to Sho's right. "Geez. That was way back then. I've improved, you know!"

"Sure, I'll believe it when I see it... But to bad that day's never going to come..." Toshiro whispered out as he looked at the food and got up to pour himself a glass of water just as Tatsuki sat down next to Renji, who was next to Rukia, who was next to Ichigo, who was opposite to Rangiku as she sat at the other end of the long table.

Toshiro stood on the counter and watched as he took his water.

"Aren't you going to eat, Hitsugaya-taicho?" Rukia questioned.

"…I am," he said as he put down his glass of water, pulled out a blow and began to make ice out of his hand.

"Okay then," Rukia said awkwardly as she turned back to her food.

"What are you doing Toshiro?" Ichigo asked as he eyed the boy making ice.

"Are you planning on making an ice scorcher or something, Hitsugaya-taicho?" Renji questioned.

"Just in case…" Toshiro answered him in a whisper, not taking his eyes off his work.

"Okay…" said Renji. "Let's eat! I'm starving!"

Toshiro finished his work and turned his head to look back at the table as he waited while they all say, "Itadakimas~!" and began to eat.

'3…2…1…' Toshiro counted down in his head.

Right on time, everyone's head began to turn red as smokes came out of their ears.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh," they all screamed together as they opened their mouths and hot, red flames shoot out of it.

"Water, water, water, water!" shouted Ichigo, Renji, Tatsuki and Rangiku as they all ran around the room to fine a glass of water.

Toshiro handed a glass he'd already made prepared to Rangiku as he watched Rukia slumped down in her chair.

"Can't... move," she said. "Numbed...Too… spicy…" and she died.

"Aaah! Rukia!" Ichigo shouted as he ran and gave her a glass of cold water and she opened her eyes back up again a few minutes later.

Rangiku drunk up, but just like everyone else, her face was still red. "Aaahhh!" she screamed. "It's still spicy! It's still-!" She was cut off short when an ice cub landed in her mouth and she and everyone else relaxed and cool down as their heating body dropped to the ground.

"Aaahhh," they all calmly said, a smile on their faces as they cooled down and melted.

"Ohishi~(Delicious)," Sho squeaked out as Toshiro turned his gaze back to the mother and son still sitting at the table, eating. "Seconds please!" he held out his plate to Karin.

"Okay," Karin chuckled as she took his plate and refilled it with a smile on her face.

The other's mouth dropped and the ice slide down their burning tongs as they watched while Toshiro sat a glass of water down for Karin and Sho.

"How-?" Ichigo began.

"How can they still eat that?!" Tatsuki shouted.

"Without burning up?!" Renji added.

"Are they still even humans?!" Rangiku finished as they all watched the two sit and eat like it was a normal meal.

"Ka-san's cooking is great!" Sho shouted.

"Yeah," Toshiro said, "if you want poison. And like I said, it's never going to happen..." He smiled sweetly at Karin, his eyes closed and looking almost like his father, Gin.

Karin glared at him. "You slithery Dragon," Karin muttered out angrily. (One's a snake, and one's a dragon. Get it?)

"Anyway," Toshiro continued. "You shouldn't eat too much of it Sho, it's not good for your stomach."

"Hmp," Karin huffed. "Eating spicy food is good for you and your heath, didn't you say that Toshiro?"

Toshiro watched from his place standing over Sho's head as Karin eat. His own words thrown right back at him, as expected of Karin to do such things to him. "...Yes," he said with a sigh as he closed his eyes. "I did say that, and it is. But not when it's this spicy, Karin!"

"How… Are you guys still alive?!" Ichigo shouted.

The three looked towards the people on the ground.

"It's because Karin's element is fire," Toshiro explained. "The spicier it is, the hotter it becomes, the better for her."

"Then what about Sho?" Rukia asked.

Toshiro looked down at Sho. "He has ice-snow type, so, like me, his body temperature is colder then most and he can withstand the heat… but only to some extend though," Toshiro said as he took Sho's plate away.

"Aaahhh," Sho called after his cleaned plate of food. "Tou-san~!"

"Let's eat out again today," Toshiro simply said as he finished washing Sho's plate of food, along with the rest of the deadly plates, cleaning the table cleaned so that they didn't have eat the deadly, spicy poison again.

The others looked as each other. "Agreed," they all said and got up.

Ichigo looked back at Karin. "Karin," he said. "Next time you try to give us poison, don't!"

Karin huffed and crossed her arms over her chest while Toshiro took her plate and cleaned it before following the others out.

"Hi!" Rangiku called out as she entered the restaurant, which was almost empty a side from having two tables filed with high school girls or single women. "We're back!"

"Welcome back," Takachiho greeted. "8 people again?"

"Yes, please," Rangiku said and Takachiho led they all to the same table once again.

Once seated, he handed them the menu while Takumi switched on the TV overhead as news came on.

"Damn that Lucien," he grumbled. "He's still not here yet. Does he want to make me go crazy with babysitting all these idiots?!"

"Now, now, Onii-sama," said the calm Naomi who sat next to her older sister, Kanako, and twin older brother, Kenric. "Calm down. I'm sure cousin Lucien will show up soon enough. He's probably just… busy, right now, right, Ken-nii?"

Kenric nodded his head. "Yeah, Aniki," he said. "Calm down. It's not like it's the end of the world or anything if he doesn't show up."

Takumi glared at his younger brother while Hotaru, who was next to him, tried to drink her tea in peace.

"Naomi, where's Mitsukuni?" Takumi suddenly asked once he realized that the blond boy was missing.

"At the clan's meeting, Onii-sama," Naomi answered. "He is the head of the Haninozuka clan after all. So he had to attend the meeting at cousin Hiroki's mansion."

"Oh yeah," Takumi said. "Sometimes, I forget how capable he is. Even if he is older then me and is my sensei…"

"You have new orders, Takumi-san!" Takachiho called over.

"Okay," said Takumi as he got up and walked back into the kitchen. "Hey Nao, help me!"

"Coming!" Naomi called out as she got up and ran into the kitchen after her eldest brother.

"So you guys open at 7?" Rangiku asked Takachiho.

"Yes," he smiled. "We open from 7 in the morning to 9 at night, all weekend long, since it's summer."

"What do you mean by that?" Renji questioned.

"Some of us are still in school, you know?" Kenric said. "Hi, I'm Takizawa Kenric, nice to meet ya." He waved over.

"Since we're going to be seeing you more often now, might as well get to know each other," said Kanako as she put down her tea and moved a chess piece since she was playing a game with Oz. "I'm Kamisaki Kanako."

"You're still using that last name, Kanako-chan?" Oz questioned. Kanako looked up.

"Yeah," Kenric agreed. "Shouldn't it be Verius now, since you're married, Nee-chan?"

"I'm not changing it," Kanako flatly replied. "That man and I don't always get along, you know."

"True," Hotaru said. "Last time you two fought, you made a Zen's size shaped hole in the walls…"

"It took forever to fix that up," Takachiho added. "And I should know, I did it all. And all by myself too, no less."

The others smiled innocently at him as an apology.

"Order up!" Takumi called out sometime later.

Hotaru, Kenric, and Takachiho went and got the orders while Kanako and Oz resume their game of chess.

Takumi came out just in time to hear the TV report, "A body of a woman was found dead in a dark alleyway again today," said the newswoman. "The body seemed like it was cut up and ribbed out. The investigators said that some body parts are still missing and cannot be found…"

"Again hah?" Takumi said.

"Another dead and missing body parts case," Oz said as he moved his piece.

Kanako frowned at her older brother's move. "…Why is this family always full of genesis?" she whispered, frustrated as she made her final move.

"Checkmate," Oz said with a smile on his face. "I win!" he put hi hand in the air.

"So it's happened before?" Karin asked. She and Sho did not order any food since they'd already had some back at home, so they were now eating some sweets.

"Yep," Oz answered. "Are you guys new here?"

"We just moved in yesterday," Toshiro answered.

"Ah, no wonder why I haven't see you guys around," Takachiho said. "Or at school." He picked up the phone just then and took the to go orders.

"What's the point in going when it's already almost over?" Sho questioned, cutely eating his ice cream.

Just then, the door to the shop opened as the little gold bell on top rang and Killua crewed in, dead tried and all eyes went to his warn out form.

"Aahh," he ground out. "I hate paperwork. I hate my job." He crewed into a seat beside Oz. "How do you guys keep up with them all? I swear…"

"Okaa-san!" Honoka shouted as she ran up to hug her mother.

Takumi put down the phone and went back into the kitchen to cook the orders with Naomi once again.

"Honoka," kanako said as she embraced her daughter. "Welcome back, dear. Where's Zen?"

"Otou-san and Gin-san are still at the Village," Honoka answered as she took a seat next to her mother. "Grandfather disappeared again, so they had to wait for him to come back."

"Isn't he at the Namikaze Mansion for the clan's meeting with the rest of the clan heads?" Oz questioned.

"Aahh," Killua ground as he hit his head on the table. "Damn it, I forgot about that little meeting..."

"He should be," Takumi answered from the inside kitchen, cooking.

"You're happy you don't have to do that job anymore now, aren't you Aniki?" Kenric nagged Takumi.

Takumi smiled a bit as he flipped the rice up into the air.

"As lazy as always," Naomi muttered as she sighed at her eldest brother's laziness, calmness, and his go with the flow attitude that was much like their father's own.

"Are you alright, killua-kun?" Hotaru asked as she looked over at Killua's beaten form.

"He's fine," Honoka said. "Just had a little too much encounter with the forest, is all."

"Damn you woman," Killua whisered out as he glared at his blond partner, the deadly Boom Mistress. "You didn't have to kick me flying into the forest so hard and so many times, you know. It hurts when I come into contact with those hard ground and or trees damn it! And I hate Trees!"

"Only because it makes paper," Hotaru whispered before getting the to go orders ready.

"It's you're damn fort for not doing you're paperwork like you were srupossed to in the first place!" Honoka retorted. "Why can't you be more like you're older brother and finish your paperwork on time, Killua?"

"Now, now, no fighting in here, Honoka," Kanako said and Honoka put down the chair she was holding up to hit Killua with.

"Sorry," Honoka apologized as she put the chair back down.

"And be a work a holic like Aniki?" Killua shouted. "No way! I love the man, but that's just over kill!"

"Agreed," Karin muttered as she looked over to Toshiro.

Toshiro rolled his eyes. "If Matsumoto does her paperwork, then I'll comply, Karin," Toshiro said as he siped his tea, his eyes closed and features calm and relaxed. "If people do their rightful work, then I won't have to be such a work a holic, as you all so puts it." Toshiro's ice cold gaze sharpened on Killua's form.

Killua stiffened and shivered at the sudden chill sent his way and dared not meet his older brother's ice-cold gaze.

"Aahh, but Taicho~" Rangiku wined.

Toshiro turned his gaze back to her and she closed her mouth. "Anyway, since it seems that all of us are finished now, let's go to Urahara's and give our report," Toshiro said, his eyes closed as he pulled out his wallet and gave his card to Hatoru, who came over to get it.

Hotaru took it to the counter and slide the card. Once finished, she handed it back to Toshiro and the group got up and left.

"Have a nice day," the staff members said to them. 'It's gonna be anything but nice,' all the staff, including karin, Toshiro, and Sho, thought.

*Story Questions Time!

1. Who is Mitsukuni and which anime/manga is he from?

2. Any idea who the 5th Shikage (Death Shadow) is? (Hint: he hates his job and paperwork!)

3. What do yo think will happen next as the gang make their way to Urahara's shop?

4. Any idea who Hiroki is and who he's related to? (Hint: he mentioned having a clan meeting in the morning and it was said that the meeting is at his-cousin Hiroki's- house, the Namizake clan... and Minato's dead...)
