" She was a kind and compassionate person. She was a good fighter too. Your mom was a tough trainer though. She told me she didn't make it too easy for your dad when he lost his powers. Kisuke wanted him to regain the strength he had lost when he was recovering and once he had , he felt Misaki would do a good job in training your dad how to fight against the Vandenreich. The Vandenreich would have jumped at the chance to capture a weakened captain and Kisuke didn't want them to get a hold on any vital information on Soul Society. " Ren said.

Ichigo chuckled lightly at that as an image of his mom beating up his dad. "I'm glad someone other than me was able to keep that crazy pervert of an old man in his place," he said, having a feeling of what his dad felt when he was out of power. "Though if they wanted info on Soul Society...why didn't they try coming after me when I lost my powers? Is it because they had Katniss's enemies as their allies?" he asked.

" I'm not sure. Maybe it was because they had Snow and Coin. I think they wanted to wait till you got them back till they tried to get to you. " Ren said.

"Maybe, but that doesn't make sense. Why would they want to wait until I got my powers back, if at all?" he asked.

" I don't know why. But thankfully you are safe." Ren said. " We should get going soon. " Ren said after he looked at his watch.

Ichigo nodded, knowing that it was a good idea. Plus he had a feeling that grandma and the others were waiting for them.

Satoshi looked at the directions again and was glad he had made it to the clinic in time. He knocked on the door, hoping he wasn't too early. He was feeling nervous since tonight was the night he was going to ask Naomi a very important question.

"Coming!" Naomi shouted as she headed towards the door since she was the one closest to the door. She had expected that it was Ichigo and Ren, but was pleasantly surprised to see her boyfriend, Satoshi. "Satoshi-kun?" she asked.

" I hope I'm not late for your party Mimi-chan. " He said , using her childhood nickname. He knew he was one of the few people who could get away with using that nickname.

Naomi mockingly glared at him for a few seconds, but the smile on her face at seeing him negated the glare altogether. "No you're not late to the party, but please don't call me that around my cousins. They're going to pick it up and you know how much I hate most people using it," she said as she moved to the side, letting him enter.

" I won't tell I promise." Satoshi said with a grin and went inside. He waved at Doctor Kurosaki and was glad to see him again after all these years. He had the feeling Ichigo wasn't here yet and was looking forward to seeing Naomi's cousins again.

"I'll keep you to that promise," Naomi said as she returned to the table, a smile on her face at the fact that Satoshi had shown up.

Ren was glad to see the clinic in the distance and smiled." Ready for dinner?" He asked.He could feel the tension in the air, and knew that tomorrow would be much less peaceful than it had been today.

"Ready," Ichigo said, especially since all that training had made him hungry.

" I'll open the door just in case your dad decides to jump you." Ren said as they got to the door. He could sense Isshin close by and was prepared for anything that might happen as he opened the door.

Ichigo shook his head, sighing at how predictable his dad had gotten over the years. "Thanks jiji," Ichigo replied after chuckling lightly.

(lol have you read the newest chapter of Bleach? We so unintentionally called it as him being the ex-captain of the 10th division)

(I did read it. We did lol. Was a little bit surprised that Isshin is Shiba. Wondering how we can incorporate that into out rp somehow. )

Ren opened the door and gave Isshin a smile. He wondered how much Isshin had actually told Ichigo about his past , since Isshin had told Ren along time ago. He understood that it would come out when Isshin felt it needed to be said.

(Ganju dropping in somehow saying how his sister, Ichigo's aunt, booted him out. It's not much of a stretch, but I'm curious as to why Toushiro and Rangiku didn't say anything...)


Isshin let out a small smirk. "You know, dinner was suppose to start an hour ago," Isshin said, mockingly teasing his father-in-law.

( I'm wondering too. Maybe Aizen altered everyone's memories except for himself , his cronies , Isshin, and Urahara? It's theory but who knows what's going to happen or they didn't recognize him. )

" Now Isshin you know I wouldn't be late for something as important as this." Ren teased back. He was happy that everyone was happy. He had his gift for Naomi on the table with the others and was wondering who's gift was the ring box. He grinned at the thought of Naomi getting married.

(maybe. We'll have to see though)

"Of course. Because then you'd have to deal with your niece, and I know how much of a good shoot she is..." He said, chuckling lightly. He also saw the small ring box on the table and smiled lightly. He had a feeling that was Satoshi's present for her, knowing that Naomi would be giddy when it happened.

" Naomi is quite a good shot. I'm looking forward to seeing the contents of that small box. I have a feeling I will be having a grandson-in-law in the future. "Ren said with a grin.

"I'm pretty sure she'll be happy to see it. Anyways, come on in you two," he said.

Ren came inside and greeted everyone warmly. He sat down at the table since dinner was almost ready and because he was a little tired after the training.

Ichigo headed inside as well and quickly sat down at the table after greeting everyone warmly. He was a little surprised to see Satoshi here, but wisely said nothing. Besides, he'd save the threats for when his sisters started dating.

Satoshi was glad when the meal was over and that the presents would soon be opened. He wondered which one Naomi would open first.

Daisuke hoped his sister liked his gift. His gift was a set of pens that had her first initial on them. He knew she would need some pens to write her reports out once she started work next week.
