" Nope. I've set up the mainframe to ignore my activity when I hack into it. I'm sure the regents know I hack into it from time to time, but my hacking has helped us out a few times. " Claudia said.

"Impressive," Karin muttered, clearly impressed by Claudia's skills. Even if they were illegal skills...

" Glad you think so. Not all hackers do illegal stuff. There are many that do this to help keep sites safe from people like me. " Claudia said having a feeling Karin was interested in computers.

"Really? I didn't know that," Karin said.

Ichigo mentally sighed to himself, knowing that Karin would now want to become a hacker just like Claudia. "I'm not telling dad about this Karin," he said, having a similar feeling as Claudia was about Karin. "Also Magneto...don't worry about the Regents. If anything happens, just let us know and we'll bust you out, deal?" he asked.

" Deal. Ichigo any computer skill is a good thing. I even build computers for fun sometimes. " She said.

"I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just don't want her getting caught is all," Ichigo replied.

" Alright. " Claudia said understanding Ichigo was being a good older brother. She knew that the reason she became a hacker was to find a way to save Josh. Now that he was safe, she had a hard time not getting into trouble.

"Though if you wanted to teach her your skills, I wouldn't stop you from teaching her," Ichigo said, getting a look of shock from Karin. She thought that he would be against her learning this type of stuff, but it seemed as if that wouldn't be the case.

" Really? Just as long as you are ok with it. " Claudia said. She always wanted to teach someone her skills.

"I'm fine with it," Ichigo said.

"Alright. Karin , when would you like to start?" Claudia asked. She knew that they would have to wait till later , since people were beginning to arrive.

"Can we start after the training with the Teslas?" Karin asked, hoping that it was alright.

" Sounds good to me." Claudia said with a smile.

Naomi was working all day at the clinic again and was glad her Uncle Isshin trusted her enough to do so for two days in a row. But something seemed odd to her today and she didn't know what to think of it. She had seen a strangely dressed man walking the streets of Karakura town and could sense that the others couldn't see him. Naomi didn't think he was on Gin's side but would tell her uncle anyway on what she saw.

( I think it's time for our hero to find out more about his dad's family don't you think? I think we talked about Ganju being sent to the Living World by Kukaku . It's just an idea though.)

(that's fine by me. I think it's a good idea actually)

(Glad you think so. Time skip to after the training?)

(that works for me.)

" Promise to not tell dad about me learning computer skills?" Karin said as they walked back to the clinic. She wondered what was going on because for the last few blocks a strange looking guy had been following them.

" Uncle? Is it alright if I tell you something?" Naomi said once Isshin had arrived back. She knew he needed to know about that man.

"I won't tell him, but I'm not bailing you out if he finds out about them," Ichigo responded. "And I think I need to talk to Rukia...I think she's jealous of Claudia for some reason," he added before they got to the clinic.

Isshin noticed the serious tone in Naomi's voice and decided to not bother her with his usual antics and asked her to continue.

" Alright. You know I won't use what I learned to do anything bad. I might just use it to help me get into college. " Karin said but knew college was many years off. " I think I might have an idea why. " Karin said and was getting wary of the guy behind them. " Is it just me or are we being followed?" She asked in a hushed tone.

" I saw a strangely dressed man while I was walking here today. He didn't seem hostile but I could tell that no one else could see him. And he sort of looked like you. " Naomi said and wondered if her uncle had relatives back in Soul Society that were looking for Isshin .

"I know you won't, and college is still a long ways away Imouto; we should focus more on taking care of Gin first," Ichigo said before silently nodding to Karin's question, knowing that she would explain herself later on. "He's been following us for a while, but he hasn't been doing anything yet. You want me to call him out?" he asked in a low tone.

" I would. " Karin said.

" Are you alright uncle?" Naomi said feeling concerned at the look on her uncle's face. " He isn't an enemy is he?" She asked.

"Alright," Ichigo said before flaring his reiatsu. He knew that it would potentially draw in some Hollows, but he knew that Karin could take care of herself. "Show yourself!" he shouted.

"I'm alright, and no, he isn't an enemy. He's...my brother," Isshin admitted.

" Hey. That's not what you do to me. " Ganju said scowling. He had recognized Ichigo from the few times they had met at Soul Society and had been looking for him, since he needed help looking for his older brother.


" Brother? So let me guess , Ichigo doesn't know this?" Naomi asked.

"Ganju? What the hell man?" Ichigo asked, scowling lightly.

"No, he doesn't and I wanted to keep it that way," Isshin admitted. He didn't want Ichigo to know about his past since it was full of regrets and mistakes.

" Been looking for you. I need your help finding someone for me, since that crazy woman who calls herself my sister sent me here. " Ganju said. He hoped that Ichigo could help him find Isshin since he couldn't go back home.

" Maybe it's best for Ichigo to know. If there's anything I can do ,let me know. " Naomi said and hoped her uncle would talk to her about what was bothering him.
