Ichigo sighed lightly. "It's possible, though now this is starting to feel like some badly written Eechi-like manga. The childhood friend, the school girl and now the mysterious and aloof female. I might as well add you and Yuzu in somehow," he said with a humorless chuckle.

" I agree with you there. Maybe I'm the sister who has the crush in the foreigner and tries to hide it from the crazy dad. " Karin said.

"You and Pete? Nah, can't see it," he jested. "And besides, I thought you already had a boyfriend," he added.

" No! Me and Jake. He is from Canada. " Karin said with a scowl.

Ichigo laughed lightly at that. "What did you expect me to think sis?" Ichigo asked after controlling his laughter. He was glad that his sister had helped cheer him up just a little. "Still...what do I do? Especially if Claudia gets feelings for me..." he added. "And if you suggest starting a harem, I'm telling dad about Jake."

" I won't say that I promise. " Karin said not wanting her dad to know.

"Still, the question remains...what do I do? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings," Ichigo said. He was friends with all the females and didn't want to hurt any of their feelings.

" I don't know. I know you will find the right girl when the time is right." Karin said.

"Probably," Ichigo said, hearing the two adults starting to come down, talking about old times as if there was no time lost between the two.

" Would you like to stay here until sis requests you to come back?" Isshin asked Ganju and was glad this all went well.

"I was just about to ask if I could do that actually," Ganju said while rubbing the back of his head.

"Of course but I think you'll be needing a Gigai. " Isshin said not sure if Yuzu could see her uncle or not. ' I'm sure Kisuke will be glad to see you. " He added.

Ganju sighed at this before nodding, knowing that he would have to eventually get a gigai if he planned on staying in the living world.

" I'll call Kisuke and he'll probably want to ask you a few things, but don't worry." Isshin said.

"The only time I worry is when I hear sis in one of her moods," Ganju replied.

" She still has those?" Isshin asked. He had hated the mood his sister always got in.

"Sadly, yes. I try to stay away from her when she's in one of them. Though one of them was about you soon after you left," Ganju replied.

" She was? I'm sorry that I did leave but you know now the true reason I did. I'm sorry it cost our family the status as nobles, but I think that's what Aizen wanted." Isshin said.

"Yeah, that bastard Aizen wanted complete control of the Soul Society before working on the next part of his plans by taking over Hueco Mundo. You and Kisuke were in the way, and Yoruichi followed her boyfriend," Ganju said in understanding.

" What's done is done. I want to make it up to you and Kukaku. You two are my siblings and I still love you both. " Isshin said.

"And the same can be said for you, even after all these years," Ganju responded. "Do you know if Kisuke would still be awake?" he then asked.

Isshin looked at the clock and grinned. " I think he might be. But he also might be spending time with Yoruichi-San. " Isshin said. " Would you like me to contact him?He added.

"Probably a good idea. Do you mind?" He asked his brother.

Isshin nodded and got his cellphone. He hoped Kisuke was awake.

Kisuke knew that it was rare for Soi-fon to have some time off, especially with her old lieutenant, but knew that with Tatsuki, his "daughter" would be doing alright. In fact, that was why she and Yoruichi were having a girl's night out tonight. Hearing his phone ringing, he went to answer it.
