You could hear an audible gulp from Ichigo. The tone in his mothers voice almost terrified him, "Yes ma'am?" he said nervously
The tone in the woman's voice even had Lisa scared. That doesn't happen to her, it kind of reminded her of Retsu Unohana. 'Note to self, don't get on this woman's bad side,' she mentally told herself.
"My daughters will not get involved in this," she calmly claimed.
"Why don't we ask Karin about this," Isshin said as he stood up and walked to the closet. When he opened it, there she was. She had listened to the whole conversation.
"What the hell Karin!? Why are you hiding in my closet eavesdropping?" the orange haired male screamed. He was almost irate, but she was the topic of the conversation.
"I..." the elder twin was trying to find the words she wanted to use. It was rather difficult though with the look her mother was giving, "I...think I have a right to know, I mean you are talking about me."
"You have a point, but that doesn't excuse you for hiding in my closet..." however the teen was cut off.
"So you're Karin," the guest of the house said.
"Yeah, and your Lisa right?" she asked. Karin got her answer by a nod. "So are you and Ichigo..." it was Karin who was cut off now.
"Karin!? No, and don't go there again," she was scolded by her brother. His face was bright red at this point.
"Ah, but Ichi..." she couldn't finish her sentence because her brother clapped a hand over her mouth.
"What was she going to say Ichigo?" at this question from Lisa, his face reddened even more.
"Can we drop it, I'd rather talk about my sister and possibly training her," the man in question stated. You could hear the agitation in his tone.
"Fine, but I'll find out sooner or later," and with that it was dropped, if only for the moment.
(Somewhere in Karakura)
Along the street, a man decked out in mostly green, wearing wooden sandals and a green and white stripped bucket hat was walking. It was no one other than Kisuke. He was on his way to the Kurosaki residence, but not alone.
"Kisuke, you have any idea what you're going to say to them?" Yoruichi in her cat form asked.
"Not specifically, all I know is I have to be honest. I mean I did tell Ichigo about the Visoreds, so I'm sure he's not that surprised," he replied.
At hearing this a tick mark formed on the cats head. She lashed out and clawed her friends face, "And you didn't think to tell me or anyone else that?"
"Ow," he whined. Changing his mood, "In hindsight wasn't the smartest thing to keep that to myself."
(Visoreds Hideout)
"Damn it, where's Lisa?" the unofficial leader of the group said to himself.
"What was that dumbass? I didn't quite hear you," Hiyori said.
"Now isn't the time Hiyori," a man in a green jumpsuit with a star styled afro said.
"Love is right, we should remain calm," Rose stated.
"Ah, shut it you two. So Shinji," the girl with a fang started, "Where did you send the pervert anyway?"
"If you'd have paid attention when that topic was brought up, you'd know," the man dryly told her. Then was met with a sandal to the side of his face.
(Kurosaki House)
The youngest daughter of Isshin and Masaki heard a knock on the door. Afraid of who it might be, she ran up stairs and knocked on her brothers door.
Inside the room everyone heard the noise. Ichigo started pushing his sister in the closet before answering the door. "What is it Yuzu?"
"Someone's at the front door," she said, a hint of fear in her voice.
"Alright I'll get it Yuzu," he told her in a soothing tone as he ruffled her hair.
Doing as he said, he walked down stairs. Answering the front door he was shocked at who he seen. "Hat n Clogs!? What are you doing here?"
"You're dear old dad asked me to come over," he replied in his usual jovial tone.
"Well I guess we should move our conversation to the living room then," a slight annoyance in the teens voice.
Walking back up the stairs, heading for his bedroom. He glared at his father. Then he tells everyone they're going to the living room because of some unexpected guest. As well as asks Yuzu to make extra for dinner.
"So Urahara, care to fill everyone in on the conversation we had awhile ago?" the major reason for the conversation.
"Gladly, although I'm going to take the short route to explain, is that alright?" the shop owner asked the 'chief' which he received a nod to. Then he continued, "Knowing the Visoreds as I do, it was only a matter of time before they contacted him. I informed mister hero here," pointing his thumb at Ichigo, "everything I knew about the group. Their names, descriptions, and what to expect from them. Along with their story, or at least the parts I know about..." then he was interrupted.
"That explains how he knew so much," a familiar voice rang in Kisuke's ears.
"Ah, nice to see you again. So I guess they sent you?" Urahara questioned.
"No they didn't send me..." she paused to gauge everyone's reaction. She was disappointed when one person didn't and it was the person she actually wanted to get a rise from, "I volunteered for my own reasons."
Lisa's smile grew as everyone's shock grew. She turned to Ichigo, only to be disappointed again. His expression didn't change. 'Does anything surprise this kid' she thought.
"You mind telling me your reasons?" the only person not phased questioned.
"Only if you tell me what you're sister was going to say earlier," she bargained.
"Fine, come on," the teen started walking to his room, the Visored in tow.
"What...just happened?" Kisuke asked.
"Oh Masaki, our son is growing up," Isshin practically screamed.
"Dear, our son is a gentleman..." she paused for but a moment, "besides they don't seem interested in each other."
"If I may Isshin," Kisuke started with a nod from his friend, "I'd say Lisa is interested...but your son seems oblivious to it."
While they were talking about Ichigo's love life down stairs and the men placing bets which earned them smacks from Masaki and Yoruichi respectively. Up in his bedroom the young man sat on his chair while she sat on his bed. Contemplating who should go first, he ultimately decided to speak up.
"My sister, Karin, thought we were a couple until I shot that down. Then when I covered her mouth she was going to say we'd make a 'cute' couple," the teen informed. He had a scowl on his face as it started to get red at the mere thought.
"Oh," she was surprised but decided to take advantage of this, "are you saying that I'm not attractive to you?"
"W-what!? I didn't say that...besides it's your turn to explain," he managed to get out. Avoiding what seemed like teasing.
"Alright fine but I have two conditions," she stated.
"And what are they," Ichigo was starting to think this was a bad idea.
"First it stays between the two of us and I mean anything we talk about privately," Lisa paused for an answer. Which she got by a nod. 'This should throw him off his game' the girl thought. "Second you have to tell me how good I look."
Seeing the game she was playing at, 'two can play this game.' his demeanor changed. "Well I won't disagree that you are beautiful," a smirk was pulling at his lips as her face started to get red.
'Did...he really just say I was beautiful? Wow he isn't as much of a prude as I thought. Damn.' Lisa mentally scolded herself for underestimating him. "Alright, a deal is a deal."
He sat there in silence, waiting for her to talk. He'd occasionally let his eyes wander, mostly over her.
"Alright here are my reasons. One, I'm a curious person always have been. Two, I was tired of being cooped up where I was and wanted to get out. Finally, I didn't realize it until I got to your school..." she paused and actually averted her gaze from the only other person in the room, "I'm intrigued by you."
