Next up for a new chapter is Saiyan Substitute. hope everyone is okay and staying safe from all the craziness out in the world. also expect a couple of Persona 5 stories to come out in the next coming months.

New Ranger Chapter 12

Kira could feel the anger pouring off of Ichigo, but from some reason she felt it wasn't at anyone other than himself. She gave him a look of concern as he stared at the fossilized Ranger. "Ichigo…."

"I should have been there." He growled out chastising himself.

Kisuke looked at his student. "Unfortunately, you weren't." Isshin looked at Kisuke incredulously and grit his teeth. "This isn't his fault Kisuke!" Ichigo shook his head. He walked over to Tommy's ambered form and placed a hand on it. "Im sor-"Before he could finish he was slapped then he was punched by three people. He staggered backward, looking over to see who just knocked the crap out him he saw Connor, Ethan, and Kira all looking at him in anger and were biting back harsh words.

"Don't you dare…" Kira started tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"You didn't do this… you fought with no powers against people that could have killed you all for our sakes…." Ethan was gritting his teeth and Ichigo could have sworn he heard them grinding….

"You showed us that we can't give up, but you also showed us how to be heroes…. This was not your fault. You did what you had to in order to save lives." Connor finished for his friends. Connor walked up to Ichigo and gripped his shirt and forced him. "So don't even think of blaming yourself for this! Get up and let get the asshole who did this to our teacher!" Connor shouted at Ichigo with pure anger at how the orange haired teen was acting.

Ichigo was stunned at how they had grown in the short time he had been in a coma…. Before he smirked and pushed Connor back. "To think I'd get something so similar to what I've been told before…." He chuckled at the thought of Rukia when he was dealing with Zangetsu trying to make him stronger by taking over. "No wonder why you're the Red Ranger." He said smiling.

Isshin was surprised at how fast his son's mood was changed. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kisuke with his damned fan out hiding a smile. 'That bastard knew….' He held in a laugh and then went over to his son and clasped his shoulder. "They're right. Now how about you and your friends go get some rest. I'll come by and we can all go get some food to catch up." The original three of the team looked over at Isshin.

"Does that sound like and invite to you guys?" Connor asked a little surprised.

"Did that sound like Connor growing a brain?" Ethan joked with his friend.

"Shut up…."

Kira laughed at the two and looked to see Ichigo looking at them with a small smirk. She smiled seeing that smirk and it made her heart skip a little. "Ahem." They looked over to Kisuke trying to catch their attention. "I guess I can stay for awhile and help with releasing Oliver-San. I think its rude though not to invite me to dinner as well, Isshin." Isshin scoffed. "You still owe me a bottle of sake over the bet we made on Ichigo and finding a girl that would catch his attention." Kisuke frowned, before he and Isshin saw said teen and Kira blush a deep red and ready to inflict pain on the two of them. Kisuke chuckled as did the former Shiba.

Ichigo sighed and went up to the only party of the room that was staying silent through this entire ordeal, though Hailey did have an amused smile. "Hailey, you think you can deal with Hat and Clogs," He jerked a thumb at Kisuke. "He's a bit of an ass, but without him I might not be here today." Hailey smiled and looked at Kisuke. "I think I can manage. You guys get some rest and get prepared." Ichigo nodded and looked at his father. "See ya later old man." He said and motioned for the others to follow him.

After a while the four teens walked the streets of Reefside heading to Ichigo's apartment. "Youre dad is weird." Connor said as they got closer to the orange haired teen's home. Ichigo scoffed, shaking his head at Connor's statement. "That's not even the half of it…" The other three looked at Ichigo disbelieving of his statement.

"Kira seems to have made a great impression on him though." Ethan said making the Yellow Ranger and the new Green Ranger blush. Ethan grinned at being able to tease them. "He's always like that." Ichigo said as he tried to regain his composure. Kira glared back at Ethan, making him whistle innocently as though he never talked to begin with.

"Its been a while since I've been back at this place. Sorry if it is a mess…." Ichigo said as he rubbed the back of his neck as the approached his apartment. The others followed and as he unlocked the door, he walked in and was surprised by the fact it was clean…. And the fact that someone was in the kitchen cooking….

"What the….

"Ichi-nii?"

The person that walked out of the kitchen really surprised Ichigo, as it was his sister Yuzu. She was a little shorter than Kira with a shade of brown hair and big wide eyes. As soon as she confirmed that the person that walked in was in fact her brother, she tackled his into a hug. Ichigo wrapped his arms around his sister and hugged her tightly. "Yuzu? W-what are you-"

"Tou-san brought me, since Karin had soccer meets she couldn't leave."

"But why did-"

"Well obviously you couldn't do anything since you were in the hospital." Yuzu stated matter a factly before she hit him in the chest. "Don't ever! Ever! Worry us like that again. Do you realize how many people were worried for you?"

"Sorry…" Ichigo said with a down trodden tone.

Yuzu looked behind Ichigo and saw Kira, Connor, and Ethan and let go of her brother and went up to them speaking English and gave them a polite and energetic greeting. "Hi! Im Yuzu Kurosaki, nice to meet you!"

Connor chuckled and put his hand out. "I'm Connor McKnight, good to know Ichigo has such a dependable sister." Yuzu blushed a little at the compliment and smiled brightly. 'To precious for this world went through the three's head.

"I'm Ethan."

"I'm Kira. Its good to meet you Yuzu."

Yuzu looked at Kira was an analytical look and looked back at Ichigo before looking back to Kira. "Please take good care of my brother. I know he can be a bit dense but he is a good man and will do anything for those he loves." Yuzu said and bowed to Kira. Kira blushed for what seemed like the umpteenth time today. Ichigo was standing there with his jaw dropped and stood there motionless. This caused the other two in the room to laugh hard at their teammates expense. Ichigo immediately snapped out of it and glared at the two before looking at Yuzu. "Yuzu they'll be coming back tonight if you are cooking. They were just making sure that I got home safe." He sighed looking at Kira, who was still blushing and speechless. Ichigo found it cute when she was blushing and his train of thought stopped dead in its tracks as he blushed and coughed to clear his throat.

This was going to be an interesting dinner tonight….
