Perfect Blood Line II

Toshiro found himself scooped up by his uncle and hauled off to a room. He found himself shoving the man's arm away in irritation before looking around the room. The room seemed to be put together specifically for someone his physical age, but in reality it was not at all to his tastes. The door clicked behind him and he went over to one of the shelves and knocked the toys over in frustration. He then slammed his fist into the wall before collapsing on the bed.

His hands came up to his forehead and leaned over to try and make his head stop spinning from the information given. "It's not fair. He has no right to do this to any of us."

He then found himself lying on his side and curling up on the bed and taking deep breaths. Eventually the door opened up and he uncovered one eye to look at the man. "Bambietta's returned. You should change your clothing."

"What ever for? So I look like all of you?" The man glared at the boy before going and grabbing the boy under the arm and hauling him up. The boy let the man drag him and frowned at the walls. Eventually they came back to the throne room just in time for him to see Karin holding onto her trembling sister as she glared at the man. Toshiro tried moving forward to help the two girls, only to have his uncle grab his arm. "Don't make a fool of yourself."

The man then pulled him over to the gathering and Karin looked up. "Toshiro! What..." He watched as she paused in what she was saying. She took a deep breath. "Why are you here?"

Toshiro opened his mouth, only to glance away. "I'm not the only one they brought from Soul Society."

Karin took a deep breath. "The others..."

"Other shinigami children. Though I had them bring him here specifically." Juhabach folded his fingers and looked right after her. "This child is..."

"I am not!" Toshiro snapped the words out of his mouth. He felt his uncle suddenly grip his shoulder and tighten it. His own hands tightened at his sides and he glanced away.

The man let out a deep sigh. "Do you girls like stories?"

Yuzu's attention suddenly perked up. "You mean like fairy tails or love stories?"

"Yes... why don't we go to my study and I'll tell you two a story." The man stood up and Toshiro followed.

Karin dropped back to speak to him as Bambietta walked next to Yuzu and pointed out all the sites. She opened her mouth to ask him what was going on, but noticed how close his uncle stuck to him. Finally they came to the study and they were bid to take seats. Toshiro found himself forced into a chair by his uncle, only to have Bambietta bounce over to sit next to him in the big chair while Karin and Yuzu shared one. It was then that Toshiro realized his grandfather was a very large man.

"So... as for the story." The man sat down and crossed his legs. "Once upon a time there was a princess of a kingdom. Those in charge of running the kingdoms laws decided to sentence a particular group of people to death called the Quincy, but she didn't want to put up with it so she left with the man and ended up eventually marrying him."

"The princess and the man had a sit of twin boys, one as dark as the night sky and one as silvery as the moon in that sky. The silver haired twin was the eldest and both twins were considered to be both part Quincy as well as being part Shinigami as that is what the other people in the Kingdom who were not to be sentenced to death would be called. Shinigami."

"Now, a few of the Quincy remained in the kingdom having given up their special powers. The man sent out a party to bring back a child with Quincy and Shinigami parentage so that one of his sons would be able to marry a pure one, a hybrid or a child of darkness as they were born between two factions that remained at strife to this day."

"The silver haired son fell in love with the red headed girl and ran off with her and they in turn ha a set of twins, one as dark as the night sky and one as silvery as the moon in that sky. The dark haired brother went to the kingdom to try and bring his brother back, but only succeeded in bringing back the dark haired child."

"When he returned, he found that the princess, who was now a queen was dying. She died and passed her very special ability, an ice dragon to the silver haired child. That is how the grandfather was able to eventually find said child and bring the child back home to the kingdom. The king of course had to make preparations for his heir, as the father had died."

"Now, the king had heard of another story. A Shinigami had abandoned his duties and married a Quincy in a world far away and they had children and the king wanted to marry one of these special children to his grandchild. So he had them sent for and brought back to the kingdom so the kingdom could have a wedding."

Juhabach finished and watched the two girls. Yuzu sat on the edge of the chair. "And of course they had the wedding and lived happily ever after, right?"

Toshiro looked up and looked at Karin. She was glaring at the man and every so often would glance between the various people in the room. The man let out a laugh. "Actually, that part of the story hasn't happened yet. I'm actually the king in that story. The man you see over there is my second eldest and those two are my darling grandchildren."

The small taicho opened his mouth to say something, only to have his uncle pinch his shoulder and cover his mouth. Yuzu glanced over. "Toshiro-kun?"

"Yes... he's my grandson."

"So you're like a prince or something like that."

His uncle removed the hand from over his mouth. "She's eating this all up. This isn't a good thing."

"Then you want one of us to marry Toshiro?" Yuzu suddenly shuffled through the bag she had with her before pulling out a notebook.

"Yuzu! Not that!" Karin's face suddenly turned pale and she suddenly looked right at Toshiro. He gave her a confused look as he didn't understand why she was so worried.

"It has to be Karin-chan." Yuzu piped up. "I mean, the two of them are dating."

"I told you, we're not..." Toshiro caught the look the two other males in the room gave him and his mouth snapped shut.

"We're not dating Yuzu."

Toshiro felt a finger poke his cheek and his eyes turned to look at the girl that was supposedly... no, was his sister. She was a lot like Rangiku. "You reacted. You like her."

"I've been planning their wedding!" Yuzu piped up, holding up her notebook.

The small shinigami found himself sliding down in the chair, now understanding why Karin dreaded the notebook. Karin of course saw his expression. "Could I please talk to Toshiro privately?"

"That's all right. And you don't have to marry him either one of you, but I would like it."

"And if we do decide to marry you'll wait until we're old enough to marry, right?" Karin glared at the man as he tugged on the shoulder of Bambietta to get her to come with.

The man raised an eyebrow. "That isn't a problem in my opinion." He then turned his head towards Yuzu. "Why don't you show your new friend your room as well as the room she and her sister are staying in."

Yuzu suddenly perked up. "I can show you my notebook and we can do even more planning!"

Bambietta suddenly grabbed the girls hand and they were off as were the two adult males.

Toshiro let out a deep breath before burying his hands in the palm of his hands. "I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"For all of this."

"So you don't want to marry me?" Karin's tone remained consistent and calm.

"No, don't get me wrong..." Toshiro glanced up, his facial features twisting up and revealing his emotions. He let out a deep sigh and looked down again. "Soul Society actually has laws that prevent me from dating you. I mean, I might be able to date and marry you because you're half shinigami, but that would only be if the rules have changed enough to allow it."

"And..."

"And in the long run the decision is ultimately yours."

"Since we don't have to marry until we're old enough, that should buy Ichi-nii some time to get here and rescue all of us, right?"

Toshiro glanced up. "Ichi-nii?" His teal eyes went to the ground again. "I'm going to admit here that my egos gotten a major thrashing here as I should be the one... I promised him I'd keep you safe."

"You are." Karin then asked a question. "Who are your mom and dad?"

"My mom? You met her, though I honestly didn't now at the time she was my mother. She'd love for the two of us to get married."

"And your father. Do you know who he is?"

"You mean the man I look like and share some very nasty traits with?"

"Why do you talk about yourself like that?"

"My father is... was.., a psychopath. He had a horrible blood lust."

"Doesn't matter."

"What?"

"I've got a messed up family too."

A faint smile crossed his lips.
