Requested by The Crazy Chick In Black- thank you
Yuzu, Ryuuken and Rangiku
Pain
The good Samaritans that they were, having heard the younger Ishida's sob story after having got very drunk (not his fault, he would later claim, which might be true, since how was he to know that they had all been routinely spiking his drinks?) and being drawn on the subject of his father, they decided to try and forge a bridge between father and son.
And that was why Yuzu Kurosaki and Rangiku Matsumoto found themselves outside the office of the Karakura General Hospital's director.
They burst in, despite the sign on the door marked 'Do Not Disturb'.
"We're going to make you happy, Ryuuken Ishida!"
"We are going to reunite you with your estranged son!"
The director looked across at them, at the young girl and over-endowed woman, the smaller of which, he was sure, was one of the spawn of Isshin Kurosaki.
There was a pain in his head.
They did not stop smiling even as he pressed the security button, and as they were lead out of the room, they pushed into his hands a large wrapped present. He sighed at the sight of the ribbon and scuffed paper and when, three minutes later, his son burst into the room, gasping apologies with his hair is disarray, he could think of nothing better to do than press it into his hands and sweep out, ignoring what he was saying entirely.
Uryuu had no idea why his father had given him a framed picture. No idea that his father had even had a picture of the two of them, himself as a small infant, face red and scrunched up in sleep, a younger looking Ryuuken staring down at him with a look of introspective almost-panic.
He held it against his chest.
He felt a little better.
