"That's good," Ichigo said with a grin. "So when do we get to start planning the Bachelor party?" he teasingly asked.

" I don't think Satsosi will do that. " Naomi said with a laugh." I'm liking what you wrote about your adventures. I'm about half way though so far. " Naomi liked the gift he had given her for her graduation and was glad to have known about Ichimaru Gin during the meeting today.

Ichigo grinned lightly in response before rubbing the back of his head. "I actually wrote that for Ryu-chan. She wanted to know what happened since she was clearly left out of them in the first place," he added, hoping that Naomi wouldn't tease him about her.

Naomi decided it wouldn't be good to tease Ichigo about Tatsuki. She figured he got that enough from his dad. "Would you like me to go in first in case your dad is at the door?" Naomi asked. She wondered why her uncle always did do that to Ichigo ,and wondered if it had to do with her uncle's past life in Soul Society.

Ichigo sighed. "Go ahead and say it. You think me and Ryu-chan would make a good couple," he said before they made his way to their front door. "And thanks for the offer, but I think I'll handle him." He added before fishing his key out of his pocket.

" I do think you two would be a cute couple. " Naomi said with a grin. " But you still are young. Someday you'll have the courage to tell that special someone how you feel about them. " She added.

"Ryu-chan knows that her best friend, Orihime, has a crush on me. I doubt she would betray her friend like that," Ichigo responded as he turned the key in the lock.

Naomi nodded and understood. She had felt the same way with a boy in high school that her friend was dating. She was glad that she had met Satoshi and they were happy together.

Ichigo nodded. "If Ryu-chan told Orihime and she was okay for it, then I'd see. Or if Orihime had a crush on someone else, like Ishida. Although I think he has a crush on Saya-chan," he said as he opened the door.

( sorry about taking so long. Have family over for the weekend. )

" I know you all will find who you are supposed to be with. Grandma says sometimes you don't expect when you will find them. She said she didn't expect to fall in love with grandpa when she first met him. " Naomi said and sensed a change in Karin. She had a feeling her cousin had awakened her Shinigami powers.

(it's fine)

"You're probably right," Ichigo said as he opened the door. Knowing that his father was getting ready to kick him. Smirking lightly as he stepped through the door, he kept his leg and foot raised as Isshin ran right into it. "Seriously dad, what if I had ducked? You would have ran right into Naomi-chan," he said as he sighed.

" I would have just dodged out of the way. " Naomi said. She was sort of use to being caught off guard when she had trained with her dad and her brother. " Is Karin-chan alright?" Naomi asked concerned.

"You sensed it too?" Ichigo asked as he turned his head towards her.

" I did. I have a feeling Karin-chan may have unlocked her Shinigami powers, but Im not sure. " Naomi said hoping she was right.

"I'll go up and check. Just keep an eye on the idiot for me, will you?" Ichigo asked as he headed up the stairs.

Karin yawned lightly as she woke up. 'Was that all a dream? I wonder...' she thought to herself before stretching lightly, startled when she heard a knock on the door, her brother's voice come through.

"Imouto-chan, are you awake?"

Naomi nodded and waited.She was hoping that everything was alright with her cousin. She knew that Ichigo would be able to help Karin with her Shinigami powers, if that was she had sensed.

I'm up Aniki. give me a few seconds to get decent," Karin said from outside the door. A few seconds later, she called through the door saying that he could come in.

" Uncle? Do you think Karin-chan has unlocked her Shinigami side?" Naomi asked Isshin. She could sense something similar to Ichigo's Shinigami side , but without the underlying hollow presence.

"It's possible, but I'll wait to see what Ichigo says. There's no way she's gonna let me into her room," Isshin replied as he heard his two children coming down the stairs.

Naomi was glad to see that Karin was alright and gave a smile. She had a feeling that her younger cousin was going to tell them something important.

Karin grinned lightly as she saw her cousin and father, knowing that they would be glad for her when she gave them the news that she had awakened her powers of a Death God. "I'd like everyone here to know that I can fight. Cen-kun and I want to help you whenever there is another fight," she said.

Naomi was happy that Karin had unlocked her Shinigami abilities and knew Karin was now ready to fight in the field , the next time there were hollows. She would make sure Karin stayed close , shuddering at the thougt about Ichimaru capturing her or Yuzu.

Ichigo wondered if they should tell Karin about Ichimaru, but would wait to ask Naomi and Isshin first before talking to his Imouto. He also had a feeling that it would be a good idea to include Yuzu into this so that they wouldn't be hiding any secrets from her.

" Are you to ready to show me how you are progressing ? I understand Karin if you want to wait. " Naomi said after a little while. She knew that Karin and Yuzu needed to know about Ichimaru but would wait till she talked to Isshin and Ichigo first.

Karin shook her head, wanting to show her cousin and aniki what she had learned and gained. She knew that she would have to get training with her shinigami powers. "I want to show you both now actually," she said with a small grin.
