Uryu's POV
10:36 AM
Neither of us said a word in hours! This is why I hate long car rides with my dad, too much maddening silence. The sun was burning my face, but I refused to move away from the window. We're in the Sereitei District now and everything is so different. They're so many shops filled with many... people. Back in Las Noches, it was like nothing was there. The buildings here were so tall that they touch the sky. All of these amazing skyscrapers and we're not even downtown yet. "What is up with this place?" I whispered in amazement. We took a left at another building and my jaw dropped. The houses we drove by were manisons! It's hard to believe something like this actually exists! "Ryuken, is our house near here?" I asked him, still not taking my eyes off of the scenery. "Yeah, it's just up this road." Yes! Not only is this car very uncomfortable for me, but I finally get to meet the guy that made Ryuken bottom! My heart is racing for all the excitement and I feel like I'd burst in any second now!
The wait was finally over when we arrived at a big, yellow house. Honestly, I'm not very fond of the color yellow. But who cares? Our house is the second biggest one on the block! The front lawn has a tiny sakura tree growing by the bushes filled with pink roses. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Not to mention that the grass was freshly cut! Ryuken stopped the car right behind a big black truck. A bulky man with a funny black hair cut was carrying Ryuken's favorite couch into the house when he saw us. This man, literally, dropped the couch on the sidewalk and came over to the car. "RYUKEN! RYUKEN!" he screamed at my father. Tears were streaming down his face as he climbed on top of the car. "RYUKEN! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" he sobbed on the hood. Ryuken just sighed. He opened his door, angrily climbing out of the car. The man was just about to hug him, but Ryuken yanked at his pointy ear. "Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?" he scolded. "If you ruined that couch, Isshin Kurosaki, I swear on my life that I'll bury your ass alive in my front lawn!" Isshin found his way out of Ryuken's grip fast. Before I knew it, he tackled my poor father to the ground. "ISSHIN, YOU ASS!" I heard him scream.
Quickly, I hopped out of the car to check and see if the big guy actually killed him. Luckily, my father was still alive. Pissed, but still alive. "You!" My father growled, pointing his finger out at me. "Don't just stand there and stare! Start unloading the boxes!" I whined. Can't I just sit back and relax after being cramped up in a car a for three hours? Seriously, now my dress is all wrinkled up! It's a teal knee-length dress that Szayel bought me for Christmas last month. What a waste! I never would've worn it if I had known I'd be in a car for so long! Not to mention doing manual labor. As if this day didn't suck enough.
I had been so wrapped up in my ranting thoughts that I didn't even notice that Isshin was holding his hand out at me. "Nice to meet you! I'm Isshin Kurosaki," I had look up at this guy. He's a freaking GIANT! I'm only 5'9, but compared to this guy I'm just a little ant. No wonder he topped my dad. There's no other way to see it. I put my hand in his (if I were to judge) seriously firm and muscular hand. "The pleasure's all mine," I say with a nervous smile. The giant turned his attention back to my father, this time he was scowling. "Ryuken! How dare you make a woman carry heavy boxes!" My eyes widened. When he said "woman"... was he talking about me? Ryuken fixed his glasses before standing up. He took a deep breath. His glare went from Isshin, to me, then back at Isshin. "THAT'S NOT A LADY, YOU DOPE!" he screamed at the giant, who hid behind me. Isshin muttered something like "So scary". I don't blame him either. "You remember my son, Uryu!" Isshin came in front me again. This time he took the time to look me up and down. Suddenly, my feet were off of the ground and my body was in a strong, hard embrace. "Uryu! You've grown up so much!" Isshin cooed. "I'm sorry I mistook you for a woman! You just look so beautiful in that dress." That made Ryuken growl. "Don't encourage him!" It didn't really bother me all that much. I know I'm a male, but it is pretty flattering when some guys call me a girl. After all, if my slim figure doesn't hint that I'm a female, then my fake breast will (Ryuken told me never to buy a bra, so I borrowed one from Szayel and stuffed it will some tissue. They're small, but not too small) give them the hint. My face was bright red as Isshin put me back on the ground. "Why don't you go into the kitchen and sit with my daughters? They're making lunch for us,"
I slipped off my sandals and put them on the doorway. The inside of the house was just as beautiful as the outside. In the main room, Isshin had already put up our family pictures on glass tables, Ryuken's old paintings along the white walls, and even Ryuken's collection of stuffed pandas. Each little table had a picture on it and a panda. "Hello?" someone tapped my back. I jumped and turned to see a little blonde girl. She was wearing the prettiest pink sundress I've ever seen! "Um, hello," she smiled at me. "I think that dress is really pretty, ma'am." I frowned at that. Even she thinks I'm girl. It's really flattering, but I am a boy! "Yuzu! Who's that?" a girl with messy black hair stood beside her. This one looked way more manly. Her cargo shorts were baggy and her shirt looked too big. The only way I could tell she was a girl was by her voice. "Oh, Karin! Isn't her dress pretty?" the blonde one, Yuzu apparently, yanked on my dress. "I'm Uryu Ishida. Are you two Isshin's daughters?" I asked, seriously hoping she'd let go of me. The two of them looked at me like I've grown a second head or something. "You're Ryuken Ishida son Uryu?" Yuzu asked. I nodded shyly. "Oh... well I'm Yuzu Kurosaki and this is my twin sister Karin," she said happily. Karin just waved at me. "Well, too bad you couldn't meet out big brother," Karin mumbled. My face curled up into a smile. "You have an older brother? How old?" I asked eagerly. A hand suddenly came up behind me and smacked my head.
"Keep it in your pants, Uryu!" Ryuken scowled, holding a box. I growled at him. "I was just curious, Ryuken!" "Now, Ryuken!" Isshin came up behind him with a bigger box. "If he wants to know about my Ichigo, then he can," Wait a minute... They named their kid... after a fruit? Well, it is Isshin's son. Maybe this guy will be all big and muscular just like him. I shivered a little. Ok, maybe I don't want know anything about this strawberry. "Where is Ichigo anyway?" Ryuken asked. Yuzu rose her hand up. "He had rugby practice today, so he couldn't come help out today." I sighed in relief. If that guy was anything like Isshin, I don't know how I'd surrvive this. "That's too bad, I was really looking forward seeing him again. The last time I saw him he could barely talk," Ryuken smirked. He and Isshin went upstairs, still talking about the mystery strawberry. "Alright, Uryu!" Karin shouted at me. I quickly saluted her. "Yes ma'am?" Yuzu chuckled at me and Karin shook her head. "You will help Yuzu and I make the lemonade for our fathers!" she ordered. I tilted my head in confusion. Did really expect me to know how to do that? "The lemonade I made was just fine, Karin!" Yuzu protested. "No, it sucked! You added too much sugar last time!" Karin argued. "Uh, I don't know how to make lemonade," It's true, I don't. I've always bought my lemonade. The two of them gasped at me. "Geez, we've got to teach you just like we taught Ichigo!" Karin complained. Her sister nodded in agreement. "Let's just hope he's a fast learner," With that said, the twins took my hands and dragged me into the kitchen. Yeah, I can't walk on my own, right?
