Chapter 18

Katsu and Toshi Hitsugaya

7 years later

"Lala, Lala, Lalala." Toshi sang as she walked along the top of a wall holding her arms out as if she was walking on a balance beam.

"You should get down before you fall." Katsu said calmly as he walked next to the wall ready to catch his sister if she did fall which she did quite often. Toshi was the exact opposite of careful. She was rash and loud and then she often hurt herself doing things the she was advised not to do. She didn't like authority and she made that known. Whenever she was asked to do something she always did the complete opposite.

"I'm not going to fall." She said with a roll of her eyes. Her pink haori fluttered behind her as her as she quickened her step as they neared their father's office. Katsu stopped and pushed his bangs away from his face.

"You should get a haircut. That way you won't have to worry about your hair falling into your face." she said to him.

"I don't want a haircut." He replied pushing his face hair from his face again.

"Well if you're going to keep your hair that long then you should at least tie it back." Toshi said. Katsu rolled his eyes at her.

"I don't want to wear it up, that's for girls." He said to her.

"Then cut it." she replied.

"I don't want to." He retorted.

"Why not?" she asked.

"Because I like my hair the way it is, I like my hair like this, brushing it out of my face every now and then doesn't bother me." he replied as he reached out and opened the sliding door to their father's office.

"Daddy!" Toshi screamed, she shoved Katsu out of the way and ran over to their father. She jumped into his lap and wrapped arms around his neck.

"Katsu, are you alright?" Toshiro asked as he looked over his desk at his son. Katsu grumbled as he pulled himself up from the floor and brushed his clothes off.

"Yeah dad I'm fine." He said as he walked over to the desk.

"You're always talking about me getting hurt," Toshi said smugly.

"You pushed me down." Katsu replied in a loud voice.

"No I didn't!" she screamed.

"Everyone saw you push me!" he yelled in replied.

Toshiro sat back and watched his children who were now fixed in a shouting match. When they got like this he chose not to stop them, it was always easier for them to let them go at it because if he stopped them the argument would go on forever.

"You're such a wet blanket Su!" Toshi said as she turned her attention back to her father and smiled.

I'm glad to see that you two made it here alright." Toshiro said after the argument was finally over. Katsu nodded before going over to take a seat on the couch.

"Daddy can we go with you to the observations today?" Toshi asked in a sweet voice.

"No you can't." Toshiro replied. Toshi frowned.

"Why not?" she whined.

"Because it's dangerous, you don't follow directions on a normal occasion why would dad bring us into a dangerous situation knowing that you don't follow rules." Katsu said calmly.

"Shut up, I do follow directions." She said. Katsu looked over at her with a cocked eyebrow.

"Well he is partially right. Observations are very important and they are no place for a child." Toshiro said.

"But I wanna go," she whined again.

Toshiro watched as two big tears settled themselves on the brim of each of her eyes. He held his breath and waited for the fireworks to begin. Toshi threw herself down on the floor and started kicking her feet and swinging her arms widely.

Well things sure are lively in here." Said a voice from the door, Toshiro looked up to see Jushiro standing else beside her.

"Captain Ukitake, what are you doing here?" he asked as he took a look around the room at the circus that his office had now become. It probably looked like Toshiro couldn't control his own children.

"What seems to be bothering you little one?" Jushiro asked as he stepped over to Toshi and got down to her level. She had stopped her screaming but there were still giant tears rolling down her face. She grabbed her pacifier and pushed it into her mouth before sitting up to answer his question.

"I wanna go to the observations but daddy says I can't." she said taking and extremely big breath through her nose.

"Aren't you a little old to be still using a pacifier?" Jushiro asked. He had given the girl and her brother the pacifiers as gifts when they were only a few months old but he didn't think that they would both still be using the pacifiers at nine years old.

"Well I don't see a problem with you two coming along, you can sit on the observation deck with the rest of us." he said with a soft smile. Toshi whipped her tears from her eyes and smiled brightly.

"Really, so I can come!" she asked happily. Between Jushiro and Karin going against almost everything he says he's going to have no authority what so ever when it comes to either of the twins.

"Yes you can come." Toshiro said finally giving in to what she wanted.

"Yeah I get to go to work with daddy!" she screamed with delight.

"Would you like to come along too Katsu?" Toshiro asked. Katsu looked up at him and nodded.

"Well we better get going before we're late." He said as he gathered everything that he was going to need and headed for the door.

"I can't see from up here." Toshi said poking out her bottom lip. The observation filed was shaped a lot like a football stadium with the observation deck positioned at the top of the stadium.

"Dad wants us to stay in here." Katsu said to her.

"But we can just move to those seats down there." she said as she pointed out the big window to the bleachers below them where the rest of the academy students were sitting.

"We're not going down there because dad wants us to stay up here." Katsu said.

"Well I don't know about you but I don't want to sit up here in the nosebleeds. I'm going to find a better seat." She said as she rose from her seat and headed towards the door. Katsu shook his head before getting up and following behind her like he always did when he knew she was going to run off and get herself in trouble.

They found a seat close to the bottom behind the class and continued to watch the matches unfolding in front of them.

"Do you think we'll ever get to go to the academy when we get older?" she asked as she bounced happily in her seat.

"Most likely, but we have to learn out spirit powers first, we have to be strong enough." Katsu replied. She scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"I can go anytime I want, I'm already strong enough." She said with a scowl

Toshiro Hitsugaya

"Hey Captain Hitsugaya…where'd you midgets go?" Shinji asked.

"What do you mean they right over there," Toshiro replied as he looked up to see two empty seats that were previous occupied by his two kids. He stood from his seat and looked around the observation deck; they were nowhere to be found.

"Perfect." He said as he walked out of the door to find his kids. "You know you didn't have to come along," he said to the two men following behind him. Shinji and Jushiro just smiled and continued to follow behind him. They all knew that he was going to need as much help as he could get.

"We're just here to provide moral support, not to find your kids for you." Shinji replied calmly.

They walked into the main stadium where all of the graduates were seated waiting for their chance to show their stuff to the captains. When the three of them walked into the room everyone turned around and looked at them. The two battling on the field started to fight even harder to prove they could handle anything being thrown at them.

"We're never going to find them down here." Toshiro said to himself.

"Look there they are," Hirako said as he tapped Toshiro on the shoulder and pointed in the direction of the ring ahead of them. Toshi and Katsu were standing against the wall watching the two people in the ring.

"What are they doing?" Jushiro asked.

"Watching the girl, her name is Yuki something; she's beaten everyone who has stepped against her in the ring." Shinji said.

"That type of arrogant behavior is not something that Toshi needs to see." Toshiro said as he pushed through the crowd to get to his children.

"So, is there anyone else?" asked the girl in the middle of the ring. "I can beat anyone who challenges me!" she boasted. Toshiro could only watch the flicker of delight in Toshi's eyes as she hoisted her weight up onto the wall and stood on top of it.

"I wanna fight you!" she yelled in a loud voice. Everything got quiet.

"Dammit, this is exactly why I didn't want to bring them here, I knew this would happen." Toshiro said to himself as he quickened his step in a desperate attempt to reach his children, but it was too late. Toshi hopped down from the wall and landed on the other side and Katsu was far behind her. He jumped over the wall then moved himself to stand behind his sister.

"So you both want to fight me at once?" she asked with a confident smirk.

"We work as one." Toshi replied.

"Aren't you two the captain's twins?" she asked pointing at the both of them.

"Yes," Toshi replied.

"Well, let's see what you can do," she said.

"Stop them!" Jushiro yelled, but he was too late. The fight had already begun.

"Karin is going to kill me when she finds out about this," Toshiro said to himself, He looked to the officiators to call for the fight to stop. The girl had her sword already drawn and charged at the twins. All he could do was watch.
