Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Bleach.
The first signs of Spring are seen shooting up from the ground still dusted with snow. The rumor mill of the castle helps and the surrounded town kept everyone busy. The person in the center of this is Ichigo the newest addition to the royal family. He was going to be officially recognized as the fourth Prince once Spring was in full swing.
After the dragon incident Ichigo had come to realize the reason why he tried to distance himself from the royals. He was afraid. He was afraid of losing people he cared about again and it was only till recently that he moved past it. The fear was still there and he was going have to deal with it but for now he was going to take small steps. He also realized that he had a lot of emotional stuff he hadn't worked through yet. But he was getting there. His new family was helping in their own way with that.
When he came back from the ice dragon incident with a dragon in tow. The people wanted to get a look at him and much to Kaien's and the other royal's amusement Ichigo had tried his best to keep out of the lime light. However, he soon found himself in the town center but the townspeople hadn't realized who he was until they saw him helping others.
After that he became very recognizable. The people where in awe of him, his double swords, and his humble attitude. Or at else that's their opinion. Ichigo disagreed he refuted that he was in no way humble.
Ichigo had earned a reputation and many loved him for it. From protecting kids from bullies to helping old women with their market stalls. The people couldn't get enough of the newest royal.
The townspeople ranked the orangette with Kaien's charm but with Shiro's approachability. It almost became some type of hero worship. The orangette was horrified though his zanpakuto was highly amused.
Even the castle staff had fallen in love with the orangette. Thought he was spared that type of attention thanks to Toshiro who had taken upon himself to be Ichigo's keeper.
"Everyone here is too lenient on you, you need someone to keep you from getting into trouble," he had said when Ichigo had asked once.
"Aw I didn't know you cared," Ichigo teased.
"Th-that's not it fool, you have my brother's soul gem. I am only saying close until I get it," the blush Toshiro wore took the bite out of his words.
Severn had been a little jealous until Toshiro and him seemed to come to an agreement. Now Ichigo had to contend with two shadows. Though he could get away from one the other could find him anywhere much to Ichigo's annoyance.
So in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town and castle Ichigo has taken to going to a nearby field to cloud watch. Something he never did back in his world. And it was how Toshiro found him.
"Your disappearance has caused another ruckus," the half dragon sighed.
"They worried too much," Ichigo said. "Plus they know where I am. Hell they can see me from one of the towers."
"That's not the point your highness," Toshiro added emphasis on the 'your highness' to try to get the point across.
"I get it really, but I told them that I'm not use to all that bowing and shit. I wasn't born royal," Ichigo scrunched his face in disgust when thinking about his new lessons.
"Clearly," the half dragon said crossing his arms. "If you don't like it then why did you agree?"
"Are you kidding; I was fighting a losing battle. It was pointless to try to continue," Ichigo scowled sitting up. "They're really persistent."
"Good to know that you do have some form of tactics," Toshiro smirked.
"Oh like I haven't seen you being fawned over by every female in the castle, including the Queen."
Toshiro definitely glared at the smirking orangette before turning. "I have no idea what you're talking about," then he started to walk away.
"Hey Toshiro!" Ichigo yelled after the other retreating back. "Oi I know that you can hear me!"
"Get back to the castle your highness. Or they'll have someone else to come get you or restrict you again," Toshiro grinned at the growled from the orangette.
oOooOooOooOooOooOo
"Ah Ichigo you've been found," Kisuke's mock cheerful voice came up from behind both Ichigo and Toshiro.
Ichigo rolled his eyes before turning towards one of his annoyances. "What did ya need Urahara?"
"Can't you go bother someone else?" Toshiro added just as annoyed.
"Aren't you two just full of sunshine," the man teases. "I just need some help-
"Hell no!" both deadpan then walked away.
"Ah so mean you didn't let me finish," he fakes pouted.
"I can take a wild guess on why you need me and I want nothing to do with it," Ichigo said.
"Even I know not to trust you," Toshiro piped in.
But Kisuke wasn't deterred. He instead yanked Ichigo back and all but drag the protesting teen to his tower. Toshiro sighed before following.
"Come now boys it isn't anything like that," Kisuke said in a sing song tone.
"Then use Aizen as your guinea pig then," shouted a struggling orangette.
"I would but he mysteriously has vanished."
"Lucky bastard," Ichigo mutter.
"Besides Aizen doesn't have what I need. You on the other hand have something that is very interesting. You're the only one in recorded history that has a soul gem implanted in their body. I wished to study you and the gem. Maybe run some test." Kisuke starts to talk more to himself then the two following him.
Ichigo renews his efforts in escaping before he shoots Toshiro a look demanding help. The dragon pretends to ignore him. the orangette growls and considers using his hollow powers to get away but dismisses the idea. He rather avoid the lecture that that would incur.
He was stop when Kisuke tossed him into the blonde's tower room. A shower of dust and books rain down on the unfortunate orangette. The blond man walks in not caring that Ichigo was buried alive. Toshiro was a bit more cautious when entering.
"Now dear boy," Kisuke said cheerfully. "Strip."
In the rest of the castle sounds of fighting and yelps where heard many thought that it was young knights getting their asses handed to them. But others recognize that the yelps where from Ichigo and that the sounds were coming from Kisuke's tower. Those felt pity for the orangette before going on about their duties.
Ichigo had been stripe down to his underwear. Though he fought hard to keep his clothes. Kisuke was nursing a large lump on his head and a burse on his jaw.
'jackass should be glad I didn't break it,' Ichigo growled. Before he sent Toshiro a death glare for snickering.
"Right now let's see here. When I tap this area how does it feel?" Kisuke asks as he begins to tab various areas on Ichigo's chest.
"It's only numb where the gems at!" he shouted before taking another swing but missing.
"I see so it hasn't effect you any other way?" Kisuke asks with a raised brow.
"Just that the skin is numb and well I guess my wings are different…and I can make an ice dome…and have scales. I guess it did more than I thought." Ichigo mutters.
Toshiro and Kisuke sweat drop.
"Ah…I see, in that case how about we take a look then," Kisuke says with a tone that Ichigo knew all too well.
"Un uh, no way in hell," he says trying to a mad dash for the door.
"But it's for your own good Ichigo," the blond whines.
"Then Jason can look into it." The orangette shoots back. Referring to the healer that has self-appointed himself to serving Ichigo personally.
Toshiro watched the two chase each other around the room. Kisuke had been smart enough to block the door and windows. So it was only a matter of time before something happen. A crash and the sound of broken glass followed by a flash of light had the half dragon ducking for cover.
'why did I follow these two,' he asks himself.
He shielded himself with his wings so he avoided most of the debris. When he was able to look Toshiro was greeted by a dusty coughing blond. But there was no sign of Ichigo. That is until Toshiro saw the bright orange hair.
Thinking that the teen was just stun the dragon went to go dig him out. but instead of a teenage human he found a dazed looking child. Toshiro thought that Kisuke had kidnap another person when the kid looked at.
"Excuse me onii-chan but who are you?" child Ichigo asks with a tilt of his head.
Toshiro groan in frustration. He could now guess what had happened and he was right once Kisuke came over and saw the small orangette.
"hehehe oops," he said sheepishly.
"Good job genius you turn him into a child. I hope that you can fix this, if not then it's your funeral," the dragon said.
He pulled little Ichigo out of the mess and held onto his hand. The kid still looks stunned and Toshiro had every intention of taking him to the infirmary. He doubted that turning into a kid was a good thing.
"Of course of course, just give some time."
"You know that the family will find out so if I were you I would have an explanation ready."
Kisuke looked very nervous and quickly went about to finding out to turn Ichigo back. Toshiro usher the boy out of the tower and guided him to the healing room where a very confused and pale Jason quickly took charge.
Toshiro stayed neared little Ichigo who looked to be getting even more terrified. When the child was on the verge of tears the doors bang open. Queen Masaki step into the room thinking that she was going to have to lecture Ichigo again but it was the cry of a small child that flung himself at her that had her stopping in her tracks.
"MOMMY," little Ichigo cried.
oOooOooOooOooOooOo
"Kisuke mind telling us what the hell happen?" Isshin asks. He couldn't decide if he was angry, exasperated, or well he couldn't think of what else.
He just didn't know what to do with Kisuke sometimes. The man was a genius and a friend and asset to his Kingdom. But when his wife came running into the throne room with a small orange headed child the king was at a lost.
"Well your highness I can only assume that the soul gem in Ichigo had a reaction to one of my potions. Problem is I don't know which," Kisuke laughs nervously.
Isshin looked over to his wife who was cradling the child. Little Ichigo looked no more than six years; nine at the most. The little boy was currently napping with a death grip on Masaki's sleeve. He guesses he should be glad that both Kaien and Shiro weren't in the castle at the moment. He really would have no peace then.
"Your highness," Aizen called softly. "The Pharaohs Emissaries have arrived."
Isshin headache grew. He had forgotten about that. He sent a pleading look to his wife who chuckled softly so not to disturb the sleeping child. She nods then with grace lifts both her and Ichigo up and glides out of the throne room.
Isshin turns a glare back at Kisuke. "Though I am fine with raising Ichigo I rather have him back to normal Kisuke. So while Aizen helps me with the emissaries and Toshiro, if you wouldn't mind, watch after Ichigo when Masaki can't. You Kisuke will find a solution. Even if you have to go for days without eating, do I make myself clear."
"Crystal sire," the blond gulps.
To everyone else Isshin shouts. "And to everyone else do not I repeat do not let word get to my foolish sons. The last thing we need is for them to get even more out of hand," the servants couldn't agree more.
The half dragon sighs but nods before heading out to fine the Queen and Ichigo. It seemed that no matter what age Ichigo was the dragon found that he be playing babysitter to the orangette.
He found them in one of the gardens that had a fish pond. Little Ichigo was awake and was picking flowers before running back to the queen. Toshiro stayed out of sight. He was only to help when the Queen was busy so to him he wasn't needed. But he was able to hear of the boy's questions.
"Mom where are Yuzu and Karin; can't they come see you in heaven too?" the child asks innocently.
'why would he ask that? Who are Yuzu and Karin?' Toshiro thought.
"this is your dream Ichigo, so they can't come here but I'll visit them later. Why would you think that this is heaven?" she smiles.
"Because you look so pretty and there are no castles near our house," the child says before getting a sad expression. "And I got you killed."
"Oh Ichigo, it wasn't your fault," she quickly changes the subject. "well here there are castles, knights, Kings and Queens, and a few dragons," Masaki says and giggles at the wide eyes of the little orangette. "Would you like to meet them?"
"I can meet a dragon!?" Ichigo asks in wonder.
"of course, Toshiro would you mind coming out," she calls sweetly.
The dragon winches at being caught but comes out into the open. He walks over to the spread out blanket that the Queen and Ichigo were sitting on. He isn't sure how to react to Ichigo's childish curiosity. When the child makes to move close the half dragon moves back.
"You don't look like a dragon; your too small," Ichigo says bluntly.
Toshiro jerks in annoyance his eyebrow twitching. His height was always a sore point and to have a human child to point it out so bluntly. Toshiro quickly reminded himself that this Ichigo hasn't seen him when he is in his dragon form.
"Who said that dragons had to be large?" Toshiro asks with a scowl. Though is doesn't faze Ichigo.
The child shrugs, "I only seen pictures of dragon's and they are always big with big teeth and claws." The little boy does an impression of an open mouth and clawed hands.
Toshiro huffed before letting his wings slip out and his scales to cover his body. He is a bit taken aback by Ichigo's expression and he twitched when the little orangette somehow slip by him and started to feel his wings.
"That's so cool nii-chan! Can you fly?" Ichigo said with excitement.
The dragon blushed at the attention he looks to Masaki who nods with permission. Toshiro picks up Ichigo who squawk before placing the boy on his back.
"Hold tight," he says before launching.
He should have brought ear plugs because Ichigo was squealing in delight. When he lands the little orangette surprises him with a hug before the boy rushes off back to the Queen babbling off about his experience. Toshiro still stun by the hug walked away in a daze not sure how to react to such affection.
Masaki watched him go as she had Ichigo settle down for a snack. She wondered why the dragon left but figure that he was too embarrass right now. To her it was cute watching him play with Ichigo. She noted that little Ichigo was more carefree then his older self and was sad that the little boy bore so much on his shoulders.
'well as long as he still a child we'll make sure that he enjoys it. Until he is changed back.' She smiled down at the little boy.
oOooOooOooOooOooOo
Ichigo was on cloud nine. He was with his mother again, he flew with a dragon, and he was in a huge castle. He sisters and friends will be so jealous when he tells them. It was a dream that he didn't want to wake up from.
He spent the rest of the afternoon with his mother before being left with a guy name Jason. He was told that his mother had to go help the King and he beamed up at his mom. Though he wished that she stayed with him but she did promise that he would get to meet some awesome knights later and there were two people that she wanted to introduce him too.
To Ichigo he was too excited to wait and he was getting bored just sitting around reading. So when Jason had to go help with something Ichigo slipped out of the room he was in and started to wonder around the corridors and halls. It didn't take long for him to realize that he was lost and it was getting late. He knew that he need to get back before his mother started to worry.
He kept walking till he came to a darken hallway. The orangette tried to turn around but all manage to do was get confused. He sniffled and sat down. He had been walking for hours and was getting tired.
"Mommy," he sniffled some more. "Come fine me."
He sat there for a few minutes trying to hold back tears that threaten to fall. A chirping sound came from behind him and Ichigo jumped when he was picked up and turn to face a white gold eyed being with long orange hair. The two stared at each other before Ichigo lifted up a hand and touched the masked face in front of him.
"So cool," he whispers in awe.
Severn didn't jerk back for his was in awe that the little boy hadn't gone screaming at the sight of him. He had heard the sniffling and was curious as to what made the sound. When he saw the orange hair he thought that Ichigo had come to visit but as he got closer the owner of the hair was smaller than the one he knew. He sniffed the child who giggled at the action.
"that tickles," little Ichigo laughed.
Severn decided that he like the sound that child made and was happy that someone else didn't mind his presence. He did wonder why the little boy smelled like Ichigo he did look like the teen. He places that boy down on the floor but when the child made no move to leave Severn crouch down till his was eye level.
Ichigo sniffed again, "I'm lost and can't find my way back to the garden." The little boy cried.
Severn understood and gently pick the child up again and placed him on his back right between his shoulder blades. Once he was sure the child was secured he started off to one of his routes that lead back to the main hallway. He didn't want to show himself so was going to put the child where he would be easily found.
Ichigo was having a blast he couldn't wait to tell his mom that he made a new friend. And that that friend had a tail and had orange hair like him. He didn't like how others said that his hair was weird but now there was someone else with the same color. He was happy.
'Best dream ever.'
All to soon he was back to the hallway that he started on. His new friend placed him back on the floor and pointed back towards where he was left by Jason. When Ichigo turned to talk more with his friend the other was gone leaving no trace that he was even there.
'oh I guess he needed to go to the bathroom,' Ichigo thought innocently.
He was about to leave when he bumps into someone. He would have fallen on his rear if not for the person he ran into caught him.
"oh, oh there lad where you off to in such a hurry," a kindly sounding voice asks him.
Ichigo looked up at the one who was talking to him and met an old man with kind purple eyes and was very short then most adults that he knew.
"I got lost and was trying to find my way back before mom got back." Ichigo said.
"Really well don't let me stop you then just be more careful when using that same hallway as others okay," the man says with a smile.
"Yes sir," the orangette says meekly before running off again. "bye oji-chan."
"Oji-chan?" the man asks himself. he was soon join by his guards and his countries liaison before setting off to leave for his country.
oOooOooOooOooOo
Ichigo was back to a place that he recognized and was about to head to the room that Jason was in when he came upon two large doors that were half open. Curiosity getting the better of him the little orangette took a peek inside. Inside was people he didn't know but also someone that he did. Ichigo couldn't contain himself as he burst in the room and ran straight towards the man who looked like his father.
"Dad!" he yelled as he propelled himself up to grab the man's waist.
"ah Ichigo what are you doing here," Isshin asks. He waves towards his other sons to wait. "You're in big trouble young man your mother has been looking for you for hours."
"I sorry," the little orangette pouted. "But you're the one who's going to get into trouble goat face."
"and why is that," Isshin asks amused.
"Because you're wearing the Kings crown and if you get in trouble then mom gets in trouble." Ichigo said sternly. The scowl he manages is just too cute that many of the female castle staff squeal and aw at the sight.
"well I have it on good authority that the King doesn't mind that I wear it." He said ending the topic. "now while we wait for your mother let me introduce two people to you."
"Okay," the boy chirps.
He is lead over to where two men are standing. They stare at him and it makes Ichigo very uncomfortable. He hides behind his father's legs only peeking out every now and then. Isshin keeps quiet motioning for his sons to do the talking.
Kaien was the first to step up. He kneels down to the orangette's level giving the shy boy a teeth showing smile.
"Hello Ichigo my name is Kaien," the raven held out his hand.
Ichigo stared at the raven then stared at the hand in front of him. before he made up his mind and shook the offered hand. He gave a little smile in return.
Isshin had walked over to Shiro while Kaien and Ichigo got to know each other.
"Why is there a kid here and why are you calling him Ichigo? Where is the brat anyway?" the prince asks.
Isshin had to snort at his second son calling Ichigo a brat. Though the name fit the orangette now.
"There was a mix up when Kisuke got a little too excited. Two magic's got mixed together and that is the result."
Shiro gave his father a raised brow before walking over to Kaien and Ichigo. He stared down the child who was getting nervous. Kaien seeing that Shiro was making Ichigo uncomfortable grab his brother by his neck and yanked him down to the chibi's level.
"Ichigo, this is my little brother. Don't worry his bark is worst then his bite," Kaien teased.
The little orangette giggled but Shiro quietly cursed Kaien under his breath.
"yeah yeah. Hi brat," he said.
"hello," Ichigo said shyly.
Shiro noticed that the kid kept glancing at his face before looking at Kaien. Thinking that the orangette thought that the two were twins Shiro was going to set the chibi straight. He was not expecting the real reason Ichigo was glancing.
"Um."
"what brat?"
"Your eyes are pretty," the orangette said before hiding behind Kaien.
The raven tried to suppress a laugh at the orangettes antics but he couldn't hold it when he saw the blush on Shiro's face. He couldn't help himself.
"Looks like you have an admirer Shiro. Should I tell dad to start to make wedding plans," Kaien teases.
He laughs harder when the blush got redder before ducking a swing from an irate Shiro. his brother was absolutely livid and had taken to trying to attack his brother who dodged him every time. All the while Ichigo watched on confused. He thought that did good by complimenting the white Prince. Kaien was well aware that Shiro rarely got complimented on his looks by anyone, with the exception of close family, so when Ichigo said that the Prince was stun.
Ichigo liked the two new people and was wondering if they lived here with his mother too. Little Ichigo forgot that he was told that this was a dream or that his mother was supposed to be dead.
"Are you two going to be my brothers?" he asks innocently.
His question got the two fighting men to stop and stare at him but Isshin was laughing out loud. Shiro sent their father a glare before punching Kaien. The raven lets it happen.
"Because I wouldn't mind having two big brothers, but you have to be nice to Yuzu and Karin. I'm still their big brother and I won't let you tease them." His scowling expression looked cuter on his younger face that Shiro and Kaien couldn't help the overprotectiveness get the better of them.
Before the little orangette knew he was swept up into a tight hug. Ichigo was confuse how he ended up there when he was on the floor a few seconds ago.
"No worries little bro. We won't let nothing happen to ya," Shiro said.
"Yep you won't have to be bear the burden by yourself anymore," Kaien added.
Their promises only confused the little orangette but the thought of two older brothers took the forefront of his mind. He just smiles at the two. Kaien seeing that Shiro was blushing again couldn't help but to tease him.
The little orangette was getting tired and went over to where his dad was. He crawled into his lap and promptly fell asleep. Isshin smiled down at the sleeping child. His wife came in later and relaxed when she saw that Ichigo was safe and sound. She was planning to scold him but she did remember that her sons were just as bad at disappearing at that age. She still was going to scold him though. But that had to wait as she was about to throw her sons out of the room before they woke the child with their rough housing.
As the two Princes were tossed out Kisuke walked in looking very haggard. Aizen soon followed looking the total opposite. The blond smiled at the royal couple.
"Ah I found the reason on why Ichigo was turned into a child and the good news is that he will turn back before morning. The potion only last a day before wearing off." The blond said tiredly.
The two royals heaved a sigh of relief. Masaki ran a hand through orange locks causing the boy to stir. Brown eyes blinked sleepily at her before she was given a wide beaming smile. She forgot that she had been planning to scold him for disappearing earlier so instead she gave him a little peck on the head.
"Ichigo, you know that you were supposed to stay with Jason."
"I'm sorry but it was boring," Ichigo whined.
"I don't care if it was boring you still disobeyed and caused everyone to worry. I am going have to punish you. You are grounded to your room until I say so and then you are restricted to only the castle grounds for the next few weeks." She said sternly.
"Aww but-
"No buts young man."
"Fine," Ichigo pouted.
Masaki stern expression soften she took the pouting boys face into her hands. Ichigo stared wide eyed at her.
"I do this because I love you," she says with a smile. "It'll be over before you know it."
"Okay."
Isshin sensing that the topic was over picks Ichigo up who yelps at the action and places him back on the ground. The little orangette scowls up at his father but it loses its effeteness due to his childish face. Isshin couldn't help himself.
"AH MY SON YOU LOOK SO ABDORIBLE."
"Isshin not so loud," Masaki chided.
The King was going to continue when a small growl stops him. the two royal hear more growls and follow the noise to Ichigo. The boy looked back at them.
"Excuse me," he says sheepishly. "I guess I'm hungry."
"Well with that walking around that you did today I am not surprise," Masaki laughs.
"It is almost dinner time," Kaien added from the door.
"Kaien-niisan!" Ichigo yelled before running up to the raven.
'niisan? I going to have to have Ichigo teach me some of his native language,' the raven thought smiling at that running child. 'when he gets older.'
"Kaien were you eavesdropping again?"
"Nope."
Masaki let it drop her eldest was good at keeping secrets and it really wasn't important. She leads Ichigo out of the throne room down to the dining hall. Isshin and Kaien were following close behind. Shiro soon joined them as they neared the hall.
A soft grip on her hand had her looking at down Ichigo.
"Um is it okay that I hold your hand mom?" he asks and the Queen though she saw fear in his brown eyes.
It didn't take her long to understand what that fear was. She smiles down at the boy. "Of course you can," she says as she tightens her own hand on his. she was rewarded with another beaming smile.
The following mean turned into a giant food fight that Masaki didn't stop. It started between Kaien and Shiro then later Isshin after getting potato's thrown at him. Ichigo had duck under the table with her but the little child couldn't resist for long and soon a food cover boy rejoined her. He smiles proudly at her when he told her that he mange to hit all three of the older males.
It soon came to an end and Masaki sent her husband and sons to go get cleaned up. She took Ichigo to another bath. After getting him cleaned the little boy soon fell asleep again so Masaki had to carry him back to his room.
There was another reason why she separated her sons and Isshin with Ichigo. The orangette was getting taller and the Queen figured that the potion was wearing off. It would explain why the child was sleeping so soundly now.
By the time she had tuck him in he looked to be nearly ten years old and was still growing. She was thankful that he was unconscious for that. Growing pains were not fun. As she was leaving a shadow of movement caught her eye and she imminently was on guard.
"Stay your hand Queen Shiba, we will not harm our wielder nor you," a voice said from the darkness.
"Like we would hurt our King," another though different then the first chimed in.
"then who are you?" she asks still not trusting them she puts herself between whoever was talking and Ichigo.
"We are the zanpakuto that Ichigo carries. Parts of his soul." The older voice said.
"Thanks to that blond idiot we couldn't be near King till now," the other said.
Masaki saw a glimmer of white and almost thought that her son was playing a prank on her. But once the two owners of the voice stepped out of the shadows she knew that the white being in front of her was not her Shiro. though she curious as to why the one in front of her looked so much like him.
"Correct," the older man said as if he read her mind. "We are the manifestation of Ichigo's powers. Once his body returns to normal we well return back to his soul."
"You mean that you two weren't with him today?"
"No, if we were then Ichigo's power would have caused him harm. His power would have been too much for his smaller body. So in order to protect him we removed ourselves till now."
"I see," though she really didn't.
She was going to ask more but a rustle of sheets had taken her attention and when she turned back to the two spirits they were gone.
"well," she huffed.
She readjusted the sheets around Ichigo. Who while she been talking to the zanpakuto had aged into his teen years. It wouldn't be long till he was back to normal. She kisses him goodnight then left for her own rooms.
Once the door was shut Masaki made to leave but stop by a darken alcove.
"did you hear everything that was said Kisuke?" then without waiting of an answer continued on her way.
Kisuke step out of his hiding spot watching her go. He sighs that he was caught at eavesdropping before taking his own leave. what he had learn could wait till morning anyway. Plus, he wanted to write down all his question he wanted to ask the orangette.
Inside the room Ichigo shivered then wrap himself tighter before sighing. He was blissfully unaware of the storm that was waiting for him once his woke up.
