Alright! I'm back you guys!

Sorry that I haven't updated in a long time, I had a lot of family things going on that just gave me no motivation to write, or do anything at all.

Anyway, sorry for the short chapter but I thought it was better than nothing. So enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach because if I did their would be more romance. I do own my Oc's

"Who are these children Oshiro?" Byakuya asked with his ever emotionless face.

Sakura looked around at everyone and those who didn't know were looking at her with slightly judging eyes. This didn't sit well with her, in fact it made her angry.

"They are my children and that's all you need to know." Sakura said with an edge to her voice.

Nobody looked like they were going to say anything but the seed of suspicion was already planted. None of Sakura's family said anything on the matter making the Gotei 13 suspect them even more.

What else could they be hiding from us? Hitsugaya thought with narrowed eyes as he looked at all of the newcomers.

Could they be potentially dangerous? Was the Head Captain wrong about them? Byakuya thought as he surveyed all of them.

I need to stop this and quickly. Maharet thought as she saw all the looks they were receiving. "Look, we all have secrets. This one is a personal one so I think we can all agree that that it should remain that way." Everyone looked at Maharet and she could see that most of them understood but some of them didn't.

Doesn't make them any less suspicious. Hitsugaya, Byakuya, and Hisagi thought.

"Ok! I think it's time that we all went back to our appropriate squads." Rangiku said with desperation to make this awkward air to go away. "Don't you agree Captain?"

Hitsugaya didn't take his eyes off of Rin and Nobu, he nodded then turned away with Rangiku leaving Rin and Nobu to say their goodbyes. The other Captains and Lieutenants followed suit but didn't walk as fast so that the family could have some privacy.

Maharet looked at all of her children with a sigh, "Well, we knew gaining their trust wouldn't be that easy."

"More so than we expected." Sakura said while clutching her children to her body.

"I think we have to tell them something, anything to get them to know we're not a complete threat." Maharet said and all her children looked at her with wide eyes.

"The hell?! Like what?! And how much?! You just want us to open up to some strangers when it took us years to trust each other?!" Akira said incredulously.

"Only what you wish and how much you wish. And I'm not forcing you." Maharet said softly and with a sad smile making her children stare at her. "I know what I'm suggesting and I know your pain since I go through the same thing every day. But be wary of what will happen if you don't tell them anything. Are you ready for the consequences?"

All of them looked at each other still a little skeptical. Maharet sighed then smiled at them, "It doesn't have to be today or even tomorrow. Just remember what life was like before we all trusted each other."

They all nodded then began to prepare to leave. Rin grabbed her children and was about to leave until Maharet stopped her, "Rin, your children will stay with me for a while."

Rin looked at Maharet then her children, "B-but why?"

"You can't bring them to a division where the Captain will obviously not enjoy their presence. They will stay here until you can convince Captain Kuchiki that it's ok to have them there." Maharet said firmly.

Rin looked reluctant but she knew that it was the only logical answer. Rin looked at her children, "You're gonna stay with Grandma for a little bit ok?"

"We can't stay with you momma?" Megumi said innocently.

"No, I-I just have to take care of some things then we'll be living together again." Rin said with a soft smile.

"Can you visit us every day?" Shouta asked with excitement.

"Of course I will." Rin said then hugged them and let them run to Maharet.

"They'll be safe Rin." Maharet said with a small smile.

"I know, they're with you. And don't let that imbecile corrupt my children." Rin said with a smile.

Maharet laughed, "No guarantees." She led them inside and Rin left the 10th division reluctantly, only looking back one last time.

Yup. That happened. So soon you'll find out the characters secret but not the big secrets. That'll be about 5 to 10 chapters from now... maybe not but we'll see! Alright peace! I'm out!
