Ikkaku knew a sign from God when he saw one. He sighed happily, he knew he could convince Shūsuke not to turn this school into anything else but what it

was. "Nan, Bess, Orihime, go grab blankets" Ikkaku said, strictness in his voice. "Ameil, Chad and Nat, go start fires in all the fireplaces and heaters. Ururu and

Yuzu please go help Tessai, while Demi and Daisy you are to stay here and keep Shūsuke Company. Dan, Ichigo and Uryu I want you three to go help Kuga

with the animals."

Within an hour, the little school was bunkered down for the long winter storm. Furthermore, the barn was secured tight and Kuga managed to tie a rope from

the barn to the house. While they were all sitting down, Nan noticed Shūsuke was frightened. "If you grew up in this house shouldn't you be used to these

storms, I mean they happen all the time" she said. "Nan" Ikkaku said sternly. "She has a point" Ichigo said in defense. None of the children liked Shūsuke

because of the fact that that he was going to take away their school. "Ikkaku?" Daisy asked climbing into his lap, "When this school is turned into a hotel what

will happen to us? "I know exactly what will happen" Nan said angrily, "Ameil and I would get sent to a far off boarding school." "And I will have boring tutors

again" Bess said with a sigh. "I don't want to go back to normal school" Ichigo said, "I enjoy school and there I was always killing hollows. I never got time to

learn" "Will we ever see each other again?" Orihime asked quietly. No one said a word. They knew that there would be few visits and far apart if any at all.

They would never be as close as they were now. "I bet we would never see Bobby again, and we would rarely see Nan and Ameil" Uryu said. "Life would be so

lonely back at Urahara's" Ururu said with a sniffle.

"Uraharas?" Shūsuke asked, "Whats at Urahra's?" Most of the children glared at him. "That's my home, he adopted my brother and me, but now that Jinta's

gone it would be just me" Ururu said with a sadness in her voice. "Why would Urahara bother children, he is so self centered?" He asked. "He has changed and

has been very helpful" Ichigo said angrily. They all sat for a few minutes until Karin said, "I, for one, will refuse to leave." "Good idea" Nan said picking up. "So

will I" "Me too" the Aizen twins said together. "I'm not leaving" Orihime said, "This is my home." If Shūsuke was going to take this house he would have to

fight for it.
