"I'm up" Ichigo responded through the door.

" Good. " Isshin said and then told Ichigo about the events of the night before.

"So...we have another Nel on our hands?" Ichigo asked his father

" We do." Isshin said. " I just am concerned what Kusaka will do now. "

"Because Kusaka is harboring a fugitive, just like Kisuke is?" Ichigo asked, using the word fugitive as if it were poison or a curse word.

"Right. It doesn't help that he has Orihime as well. " Isshin said with a scowl.

"No, it doesn't help," Ichigo said with a scowl. Both he and his girlfriend were still livid over the fact that Orihime had been kidnapped, again, just because of who she was.

" We will get Hime-chan back. " Isshin said and heard Yuzu in the kitchen. " We better head on down or no burnt bits of rice for either of us. "

"You're under the assumption that your daughter will burn something. The only cook in the family?" Ichigo asked with a raised eyebrow.

" You know she does that intentionally. Just like your mom did. "'Isshin said solemnly.

Ichigo laughed. "True," he replied.

"Breakfast is ready!" Yuzu yelled up the stairs and wondered where her brother and father were.

"Coming!" both of them shouted.

" Do you think I'll find out what my Zanpaktou is ?" Yuzu asked Karin and knew she was so close.

"It's possible Yuzu-chan, though it won't surprise me if it's more of a support type of spirit rather than a battle oriented one like mine or Ichi-nii-san"

" That isn't bad is it?" Yuzu asked since she still wanted to help during battles.

"Not at all. In fact, you'll be the most important. It's easy to hurt someone, but ten times harder to put someone back together," Karin replied with a grin.

Yuzu smiled and was glad to see her brother and dad in the kitchen." I am excited ,though am scared."

:Because of Kuzaku?" Ichigo asked.

Yuzu nodded." Because Hime-chan was a healer and she was taken. Does that mean I'll be taken?" She asked and was afraid.

"It's possible, I'm not going to lie Imouto. But I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure it doesn't happen," Ichigo responded.

Yuzu nodded." Thank you for being honest." Yuzu said giving Ichigo a hug.

"Don't mention it sis. Besides, you're the only one who can cook in the household," Ichigo teased as he returned the hug.

" Hope you slept alright. " Tetsu asked Halibel and looked at the clock knowing they better head to Urahara's soon.

"We slept well, thank you. Though I apologize for taking your room," she replied.
