" That's what you say. Being on time is important. " Isshin said having a feeling something was up.

"Most cases, yes. But not all the time," Ichigo responded, hoping that Ganju was doing his part of the bargain.

Ganju went to Isshin's room and took his wallet and placed it in his pocket. Now he needed to put it in a strange place so his brother would know he was here. He saw the bathroom and put the wallet on the sink , knowing that this would get his brother's attention.

Ichigo smirked lightly, glad that his diversion was working.

Isshin saw the smirk and knew something was up. " Okay who is pranking me? Ganju if it's you I'll make sure you won't forget it. " He said.

"Who's Ganju?" Karin asked, knowing full well who he was, but curious as to what her father was going to say to get out of this one.

" My good for nothing younger brother, who has always liked to pull pranks on me." Isshin said hoping that would bring his brother out in the open.

"So that's where I get my pranking nature from. So...old man, why haven't you told us you were originally a Shinigami?" Ichigo asked bluntly.

" You know I'm a Shinigami. " Isshin said since he did remember telling his son. " I just didn't tell you about my side of the family. And I know Yuzu gets her scary nature from your Aunt Kukaku. " He added.

"And I had to tell Karin. You should have told all of us, old man," Ichigo responded. They should have been told about his side of the family.

" I should have. I am sorry that I haven't been the greatest dad by keeping it all secret." Isshin said.



( I know in the Manga Kurosaki was Masaki's last name , but can it be Kurosaki is Isshin's mothers maiden name, since in this rp Masaki did have a family? )

(It makes more sense I think)

"Exactly. If you told us earlier, we could have expected Ichigo and have been better help," Ganju said as he came inside. "Hey there brother. Long time no see."

" It has been a long time. " Isshin said with a small smile. " It didn't help that I didn't have my powers either because of a hollow that Aizen had created. I feel terrible about all that happened after I left. " He said and hung his head. It was his fault the Shiba clan had been dishonored.

"You're lucky Sis has forgiven you Isshin, though she still might give you one of her lashings," Ganju said, since he knew that she understood just as much as he did as to what happened. He hadn't admitted it, but when they saw how alike Ichigo was to Kein, they had their suspicions.

" I wouldn't expect anything else from my younger sister. Is she still making things difficult for those she dislikes?" Isshin asked with a grin.

"You have no idea," Ganju replied snickering lightly. "You should see what she's been doing to suitors."

" I don't want to know. She knows that eventually she needs to get married and that there are decent nobles that would be willing to revive the Shiba name.

"You don't want to know, hm?" Ganju replied with a small smirk.

" Alright I do, but not around young ears. It might give them ideas. " Isshin said and lead Ganju to another part of the house.

"Like you haven't?" Ichigo called out, though if either Ganju or Isshin heard him, they didn't make a remark, either verbal or physically. "So...about earlier. Why do you think Rukia keeps glaring at Claudia?" He asked his sister.

" I don't think Rukia likes how rebellious Claudia is and thinks that you'll be more that way , like you use to be." Karin said.

"I wouldn't get that bad, and I know you would tell me if I was starting to go back to my usual self though. I thought Rukia would realize that." Ichigo replied.

" I thought so too." Rukia said and wondered what was really going on with Rukia.

(I'm pretty sure that first Rukia was meant to be Karin)

"Could it be possible that...she's jealous?" Ichigo asked in wonder.

( It was sorry. Been busy today and didn't check my post. )

" It's possible." Karin said." Do you think she has feelings for you?" Karin asked and hoped her brother didn't get mad. She knew how he didn't like to talk about these things.
