"And you thought I would help you after you've stalked us and annoyed my sister?" Ichigo asked, annoyed.

"Maybe" Isshin said before thanking Naomi

"I didn't know she was your sister but I do see that you both look alike. " Ganju said hoped Ichigo could help him.

" I hope things go well between you and your brother. Do you have any other siblings?" Naomi asked hoping it was okay for her to ask.

"So who are you looking for exactly?" Ichigo asked.

"I also have a sister and I had an older brother, a long time ago," Isshin replied.

" I'm looking for my older brother Isshin. " Ganju said. He knew his brother was still alive but didn't know why he hadn't been to see him or Kukaku. Ganju knew the Isshin had been to soul society in the last couple years and hoped that this reunion went well.

" Oh. Sorry about your older brother uncle. " Naomi said and noticed the sadness in Isshin's tone of voice.

"You're looking for our dad? Why?" He asked, now extremely curious.

" Your dad? Kukaku sent me here to look for him, since he's our older brother." Ganju said.

"Huh? That doesn't make any sense. Dad's never told us about anything like that..." Karin said, surprised about that.

" Knowing him, he probably wouldn't tell you." Ganju said." He's always been good at keeping secrets like that, but promise not to kill him because of it." He added.

"Kill, no. Karin, what say you about the two of us and Claudia pranking the hell out of dad for this?" Ichigo asked after he heard what Ganju said. This would be one hell of an interesting conversation, especially since he now knew one of his aunts was scary as hell.

"Sounds like fun. I know a few tricks that I know will annoy you father very much." Ganju said.

" Sounds good to me, but you know Yuzu will hate us if she finds out it was us." Karin said, knowing how scary her younger sister could get.

"Then don't get caught," Ichigo said, knowing that what Karin said was true. When Yuzu wanted to, she could get very scary, wondering what Ganju had in mind.

" I won't. " Karin said with a grin.

" Now , first I need you distract your dad. Next I'll go in his room and take something that I'll now he'll miss. I'll then put it in a place he wouldn't likely put it. " Ganju said. He use it do this to both Kaien and Isshin since he had wanted to prove he could be stealthy like they had been.

"Oh that will be easy, right Karin?" he asked with a small grin on his face. He still needed to ask his sister why she thought Rukia was jealous though, but put that on the backburners for now. This would be too great of an opportunity to pass up.

" Right. Maybe fight him like you usually do? I hate it when you do that , but it's a good distraction. "Karin said.


" Don't tell me Isshin does that too? Your grandfather did that to us boys to get us ready to become Shinigami. But one, I didn't want to be one and two I failed the entrance test twice. " Ganju said.

"So that's where he got that idea from?" Ichigo muttered.

"Yep. He also was very overprotective of Kukaku , which in my opinion was a bad idea you know how she treats men when she's angry. " Ganju said. He wasn't as useless as his sister thought he was.

" So that's why dad is overprotective of Yuzu and I?" Karin said. She knew he would be livid if he knew about her boy friend Josh.

"And I haven't told him...yet," Ichigo responded. "Though, I'd still like to meet him Imouto," Ichigo added before nodding to Ganju. He remembered how scary Kakuju was.

" I'm sure you'll like him. " Karin said as the three walked home.

"You do realize that rather I like him or not, I still have to give the big brother speech, right?" Ichigo asked. Though he had a feeling that Karin was right all the same. Seeing the clinic nearby, Ichigo started fishing in his pocket for the keys.

" I do. Just don't scare him. " Karin said.

Ganju was looking forward to playing this prank on his older brother , and wondered how Isshin would react to seeing him after so long.

"No promises," Ichigo replied as he put his key into the lock.

" Want me to stay out here until you start the distraction? Ganju said and sensed his brother's massive Reiatsu. While he wasn't stong enought to be a Shinigami he still could sense them and often avioded them while he was in the streets of Rukongai.

"Probably a good idea," Ichigo responded before opening the door. "Yuzu-chan, old man, we're home!" Ichigo shouted.

Ganju stayed behind and waited till he heard the fighting start and wondered how this was going to work.

" It's about time! Yuzu's almost done with dinner but I'm not sure what she's cooking. " Isshin said.

"Training went over schedule, it's no big deal," Ichigo said nonchalantly
