While in the Soul Society, the higherschoolers stayed at the school to try and get some studying in. It was a good thing Ikkaku was a one-room school teacher in the human world, as he was able to give everyone challenging work and still teach them all as a class.

Nat's Gran was sick, and with Rangiku and Toshiro in the human world guarding Karakura Town, Demi and Daisy were staying with them for a bit.

"I wish they could stay in the world of the living," Nan told Ichigo, Karin, Dan, Bess and Nat.

"Well, I wish Ikkaku would go back. I am too busy with training to worry about school," Ichigo added.

"I'm sure it won't be that bad, guys," Bess said hopefully. The week went by slowly but was not uneventful. Ikkaku was quite upset that the students had missed so much school. Tuesday afternoon had just proved that.

"Ichigo," Kenpachi called, sticking his head in the classroom. "Come on, let's go train."

"No one will be training 'till work is caught up on, Kenpachi, so you can pass on that."

They all stared. No one had ever thought they'd see the day Ikkaku would make someone give up fighting just for school.

"But Ikkaku, the Winter War-" Kenpachi started.

"NO!" Ikkaku said with a certain finality. "And Orihime, stop daydreaming!" He said in frustration, banging his pointer on his desk. She quickly snapped back to attention, startled.

"Ikkaku," Demi said shyly. "Are you guys going to have a war against my daddy?"

"I'm afraid so, Demi."

"Good."

"Demi Sousuke Aizen!" Ikkaku said, surprised.

"I hate my daddy, he left!" Demi said, running out of the schoolhouse in a fit. "I'll go after him," Kisuke said, sticking his head in. He had been on his way to get work.

The rest of the week went about the same. However, the Aizen twins were starting to get really annoying. Demi seemed to have forgotten that he'd been angry at his father. There were too many things for him to explore. He started off by trying to play Ichigo's guitar, and ended up breaking it.

"Sorry, Ichigo," the little boy said in a rather unapologetic tone.

"Get out of our room, Demi!" Ichigo said in annoyance.

The next thing he did was play with some of Nan's bugs. "Demi," Nan said, walking into her room. Bess followed and screamed. "Daisy, my things!" she yelled.

That night, Nan, Bess, Ameil, Karin and Ichigo had a discussion. "I say we take them to Hueco Mundo to be with their father," Bess said.

"Yes," Nan agreed. "We're free this weekend so we can go tomorrow morning."

So, the next morning, they started off early. None of them were sure how they got into Hueco Mundo but they did, eventually.

"This place is a desert!" Nan said in awe.

"How will we find Aizen?" Bess asked timidly.

Suddenly, Karin was running towards a blue-haired boy. "BOBBY!" she yelled. Bobby had attended their school for a year and a half before leaving last winter due to his father Grimmjow moving here.

"Hey guys," he said, coming to meet them. On their way, he caught up on all the "gossip," as Bess called it.

"So are there any good fishing places around here?" Bess asked.

"We can't stay here Bess," Ichigo said.

"You could train with Grimmjow," Nan insisted.

"You just want to catch Hueco Mundo bugs," Ichigo responded wryly. "I can't wait to see my uncle!" Ameil said happily.

"Hey, maybe we should tell Tousen about Soifon," Nan said suddenly.

"It's not our place to tell, Nan," Bess answered.

"What's up with Soifon?" the others asked. "She's having a baby," Daisy announced.

"Wow, cool!" said Ichigo. "I hate babies," Karin said in annoyance. "You hate anything nice, Karin," Bess responded with a pout.

"So?"

"It's annoying and childish!"

"Why, how dare you Bess!" Karin was just about to hit her when Daisy suddenly said, "Daddy!" while running to Aizen. He picked her up with a both happy and confused look on his face.

"What on earth are you lot doing here?" Grimmjow asked in similar bemusement from behind Aizen. Demi merely glared at his father, clearly annoyed.

"Hey Demi," Aizen said, putting a hand on his small shoulder. Demi pulled away.

"Wow, I think all of you have grown so much," Grimmjow said, surprised. Just then, it started to rain.

Everyone except Karin and Nan immediately started to run inside. Nan was mad—no bug catching today. Karin was kicking around her ever-present soccer ball which she only did when she was severely irritated.

"Nan, Karin," one of the adults called. Following, they came to a big empty room with only a tall chair in it.

Gin and Tousen walked in, sensing they had visitors. "Ameil!" Gin said, hugging him immediately. Aizen was attempting to dry off Demi but he was still being fussy. "Hold still, son!" Aizen said, rather annoyed.

"NO!" Demi yelled. "He's still a bit mad about everything," Nan explained.

"Oh," Aizen said sadly. He hadn't thought things through about his children before he left.

"Hey, why do you look so upset?" Grimmjow asked Karin casually.

"Never mind me," she said coldly. "Karin, be nice!" Ichigo scolded, embarrassed. She merely glared at him and would have hit him but knew better considering their company.

"So now, back to the question of what you guys are doing here," Gin said very seriously, frowning. Grimmjow and Aizen followed suit, causing everyone but Karin to cower. They hadn't expected to get into much trouble. "I'm contacting the soul society," Tousen said.

"You might want to talk to Soifon," Nan retorted, grasping at her defiance. The others glared at her.
