A Kurosaki Christmas

"I want my mom to be alive" Ichigo whispered into Santa's ear. He sat on Santa's lap across from his sisters while his father talked to some friend of his nearby.
Santa was surprised at first then removed his hat and placed it on Ichigo's head. "I'll see what I can do but I'm not god." He said as best as he could to the boy.
Ichigo rotated the hat till it fit better on his head then the three got down and went to their father.
"Dad!" Yuzu yelled as she raced to him.
"Have fun kids?" He asked them, picking up Yuzu in the process.
Ichigo just shrugged and put a candy cane in his mouth. "He gave us candy canes!" Karin said and showed her candy to him.
Ichigo looked at the red haired woman who had saved his life from the car earlier that morning. She was walking with them next to his father. With her hands in her jean pockets as she wore a red thermal under a white button up. Her blue eyes watched them.
Isshin looked over at her. "By the way girls, this is an old friend of mine, Yuriko." She lightly waved to them with a smile.
"This is Yuzu, Karin, and you know Ichigo." Yuzu smiled and waved while Karin gave a light wave and Ichigo shrugged.
"Want to come with us back home?" Isshin asked her.
"Sure since it sounds like I can't complete my mission anyways" She answered.
"Whats your mission?" Yuzu asked.
"I have to find someone, but apparently he went on vacation."
"Are you like a secret agent?" Karin asked.
"Something like that but don't tell anyone" She put a finger over her mouth with a smile.
"We won't" Yuzu said with Karin.
Isshin smiled at that.
"How old are you three?" She asked them.
"Me and Karin are four. Ichigo is ten" Yuzu answered happily.
"No way! Ichigo is ten? I thought he was five" She joked.
Yuzu giggled at the idea and Ichigo scowled.
"Does Ichigo have a girlfriend?" She asked.
Ichigo's face turned red. "Whats a girlfriend?" Yuzu asked.
"A girlfriend is like a girl thats a friend but more." She explained, hearing an "Oh" from the girl.
"Well theres Tatsuki" Yuzu said.
Ichigo's face turned brighter red.
"Tatsuki?" Isshin repeated.
"Yeah, they hang out a lot" She explained.
Isshin glanced over at his son, "ICHIGO!" He yelled.
"I didn't do anything!" Ichigo said in his defense.
"So are you my dad's girlfriend?" Yuzu asked, somehow confused by all this as her dad slipped and nearly fell.
Yumiko stared at the girl for a moment, before holding back a laugh. "Not exactly, we're just really good friends."
"Yeah, yeah" Isshin explained.
"You guys ever hear about-" Isshin quickly covered her mouth. She mumbled.
"They don't need to hear about some old man's story!" He yelled happily.
Ichigo and Karin raised an eye brow guessing that it was a story that he didn't want them to hear about.
They went back to the house, the small hospital was dark as the lawn wasn't cared for. If it had snowed then it would look much better and hide the dirt and long grass.
She slowly was pulled into the house by Yuzu as the others trailed behind. Isshin stopped and looked back before continuing inside.
"This is our house" She said, showing her the living room. It was trashed as a newspaper laid over a stain and the floor looked to have never been vacuumed. The couch was missing pillows as a cushion had been turned over, the painting on the wall was at an odd angle as the blinds were broke and had something to them that made you know something was wrong. She could see the rug in the corner with the dishes stacked in the sink.
"Gees Captain, can't you take care of your house?" She asked with a look towards him.
"I'm not very good at cleaning" He explained, rubbing the back of his neck.
She looked back outside then at Isshin as if she was seeing something they weren't.
"So whats for dinner?" She asked him.
"Uhhhh" He replied.
"Dad doesn't cook" Karin answered.
Yumiko glared at him, "Is there anything that you do, do?"
"Yeah, I keep this place running, don't I?"
"And when's the last time you actually had a patient?"
"uhhhhh" He had to think about this.
"Dad had a patient last spring" Karin answered, not helping.
"Well then, how about you girls come with me and we'll go get something cook." She looked at Ichigo, "What do you like to eat, Ichigo?"
"Mentaiko is pretty good" He said with a shrug.
"I know how to Mentaiko spaghetti so we'll make that with some rice balls and anything else we find, what do you say girls?"
They nodded, both wanting something decently better then what their father had been making for them the past few months.
"So real food?"
"Real food, non of the instant stuff your dad has probably been making you guys eat."
Isshin sat in the corner, crying about his cooking.
She patted him on the head, "Just clean up the kitchen and table, then we'll let you eat." She said before walking out the door with Karin and Yuzu. Ichigo looked at his father then at her, not wanting to go with her.
When they came back, each girl had a bag and Yumiko had two full brown bags in her arms as a man followed them with a pair of bags in his arms.
"Hey Isshin! I found someone at the store!" She yelled into the house, spotting Ichigo on the couch and Isshin in the kitchen, cleaning the dishes. She was surprised to see that the table was wooden.
He looked up at them, surprised to see Byakuya of all people now inside his house. "What are you doing here?"
"Isshin, when I saw you guys at the mall, you four looked like you had just been to a funeral and back." She whispered in his ear. "It took a lot of work to get him to come so be good."
Byakuya had on a white and black suit just without the tie, even his shoes were smooth black leather. "I hope you'll be willing to help us, Isshin." Byakuya said before setting the bags on the kitchen counter.
"I see a long night ahead of me" Isshin said quietly to himself.

Day 3. 10:00 AM
"Hisana!" Kaien yelled and poked her with his wooden sword.
"Kaien!" She yelled back and got up to run away from him.
He started chasing her, only being able to poke her in the back every once in a while.
Rukia sighed at her kids. "Kaien! Don't hurt your sister!" She yelled at him.
The young boy wasn't paying attention and continued.
Ichigo wrapped his arms around her then kissed her cheek. "They're just playing, she won't get hurt." He said, trying to turn down her worry.
"You always say that" She said and looked up at him.
"And she never gets hurt, see" He smirked, "I'm right."
She elbowed him in the side and he had to pull away till he recovered when he wrapped his arms around her tightly.
"Ichigo! You pig!" Rukia yelled, struggling.
"Now, Ichigo, I thought you were suppose to be taking care of my sister?" Byakuya asked him.
Ichigo just smiled nervously. "I am, we were just playing around..." Ichigo mumbled.
Rukia tried to hide her smirk.
He looked out at the kids who stopped that second and sat under the cherry blossom tree, innocently.
"Brother, shouldn't you be resting?" Rukia asked him.
"I'm fine Rukia." His eyes drifted back to little Hisana who was trying to climb up the tree. "Hisana" He called out, she looked over at him. "Come here" He calmly ordered.
She nodded and raced over, Ichigo raised an eye brow watching as Kaien stood between his parents.
"I believe that you have to leave" He knelled down to her level and stroked her hair. "Be careful and have your mother bring you more often."
She smiled "I will uncle Byakuya" She said correctly.
"Ichigo, Rukia, the gate has been opened."
"If you want we'll go an' close it again. You guys can just hang out here forever" Renji offered with captain Ukitake next to him in the doorway.
"Wow Renji, you look more important somehow" Ichigo commented, getting a glare from the other man.
"You looked pretty important when you wore your captain's uniform too. Now you just look like some nobody soul reaper" Renji replied with a smirk and a glare from Ichigo.
Suddenly both looked like a couple of teenagers again from Rukia's point. She looked at her brother then at her daughter, then she began to wonder "Could she have actually changed him?"
