-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two small shadows suck through the darkened hallway, of all the bedrooms there were, and carfully snuck down the wooden stairs and into the kitchen. The two shadows smiled darkly before one of the shadows dropped down onto its hands and knees infront of a cupboard with a padlock and chain wrapped around the door. The other figure nodded before jumping atop the other figure's back and, pulling out a hairclip, and began to pick at the huge lock.

It didn't take long before the lock was opened and the chain was dropped heavily to the floor below. The figure on top smiled before opening up the cupboard to reveal a huge jar of perfectly cooked cookies, with huge chunks of chocolate within, just sat there on the top shelf. The figure on top went up on its tip toes and began to stretch for the huge jar.

Until another figure appeared at the door frame and flicked on the light switch to reveal it to be Ichigo, looking rather dumb foldly as he saw Mariko, still in her bright pink PJs, standing on top of Toshiro, who was wearing a pair of shorts and a bright white pj top,'s back, reaching for a huge jar of cookies.

Both Mariko and Toshiro stopped any movement and looked at Ichigo wide eyed. Ichigo sweatdropped before walking infront of them.

"What are you two up to?" He asked and Mariko smiled sheepishly.

"Urm...We were...Getting a snack cause we couldn't wait till breakfast" She lied and Toshiro nodded his head as he looked up at the cookie jar.

"Please Ichigo" Said Toshiro sweetly and the two others in the room gasped. Had he just actually said Ichigo's name? Mariko looked down at him with her eyes semi-wide.

"Did you say 'Ichigo'?" She asked him and he nodded to say yes. Well, that was really fast for him to learn Ichigo's name, it had taken him about five months before he could say Mariko, or anybody else's, name.

Ichigo smiled at the fact Toshiro could say his name and, once he finally figured out what they were trying to get hold of, grabbed hold of the cookie jar and handed it to Mariko. Mariko thanked Ichigo and opened the jar as fast as she could and soon the two smallest of the house were eating cookies happily.

Next thing anyone knew, Kouta came charging into the kitchen.

"And what do you two think your doing with the cookie jar, Hm?" He said hands on hips. Both Mariko and Toshiro smiled sheepishly before suddenly running, a cloud of smoke where they used to stand, appeared and the two little horrors of the house charged out of the kitchen, knocking Ichigo over in the progress.

"Get back here you two!" Shouted Kouta as he helped Ichigo back to his feet and charged after the two who were now somewhere in the house. Kouta stood still for a moment, until he caught a glimpse of pink near the kitchen door again. Kouta span round and grabbed the back of Mariko's PJ shirt, pulling her back from escaping the house. Now he had to figure out where Toshiro had hidden.

That question was answered when a huge BANG was heard from upstairs in the corridor. Fearing that Toshiro might have fallen over again, Kouta, still holding onto Mariko, began to head up the stairs and saw Matsumoto helping a rather dazed looking Toshiro off the wooden floor. Kouta sighed as he walked over.

"You okay Shiro?" Toshiro looked away from what he had been daydreaming at and turned round to kouta with a smile on his face.

"Hai!" He shouted happily and Kouta nodded.

"Good, wouldn't want to make you miss out on chore day" He said Toshiro's smile shrunk for a moment before comming back. Mariko walked over to Toshiro, patted him on the head before sending him down to get some of the cleaning products from one of the rooms downstairs. Once he had gone down, the other four, now that Ukitake had joined them outside after hearing some commotion, headed into the living room to see Ichigo just sat there watching t.v, with Nana who had almost appeared from nowhere.

A few moments later, Toshiro came running back to them with three boxes piled in his arms so he couldn't see where he was going. He ran into the living room, right past Kouta and into the door. Kouta sweatdropped. 'Not again' He thought as everybody else in the room burst into laughter. He walked over to Toshiro before bringing him back to his feet and helping him pick up the boxes before setting them aside. He then ruffled Toshiro's hair lightly.

"You clutz" Toshiro frowned at that word. Kouta always called him that when he had a accident. He pulled out of Kouta reach and pouted so cutly that Nyuu ran up to him and began to spin round in a circle, him still pouting and his arms folded over his chest. Kouta smiled before picking up some cleaning supplies and heading upstairs, followed by Nana and Nyuu who also grabbed some cleaning supplies. Mariko helped Toshiro off the floor when he had been dropped by Nyuu and both went to collect some cleaning supplies. The shinigami also did the same and all of them walked into the enterence hallway. Toshiro and Mariko dropped their stuff on the ground and both rolled up their sleeves and pyjama bottoms, so they were at their knees. Mariko turned round and smiled at them as she picked up her rag and dipped it in the water.

"Could you three clean the windows so Shiro doesn't smash them again" She said looking over to Toshiro, who was ringing his rag, not hearing what Mariko had said. The three shinigami nodded and were soon cleaning the windows. Matsumoto and Ichigo had paused for a second to see what Toshiro and Mariko were doing. On one side of the room Mariko was cleaning the walls as fast as possible. They looked over the other side of the room and saw Toshiro kneeling down to the floor.

Next thing the two shinigami knew, Toshiro ran as fast as he could, the rag still pressed into the ground, lightly shout 'nnnnyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuu' as he darted across the floor and stopped just at the steps before turning around and doing the same thing again. Matsumoto smiled, thinking her little taichou looked so cute doing that, while Ichigo frowned lightly. He was missing his little Yukihime. Ukitake heard the small sound and turned around to see what the younger shinigami had seen, causing him to smile.

Toshiro continued to run up and down the floor, when Nana came happily skipping in the room. Big mistake. The floor was still soaking wet. Once her foot was placed down, she lost balance, stumbled and ended up gliding across the room and straight into the brick wall. Matsumoto, Ichigo, Ukitake and Mariko winced as she slipped back down the wall and ended in a huge pile of pain on the floor. Toshiro snuck over to her, bent his knees and held on to them with one hand, before he decided to poke Nana in the cheek to see if she was dead. Everyone had to hold in their laughter as he continued to poke her cheek.

Until, however, Nana looked up and glared darkly at little Toshiro, who back away slightly. Nana turned over to her stomach and began to drag herself towards Toshiro. Toshiro looked at her, scared out of his mind cause at that time she looked to goddamn grudge, and ran behind Ichigo for protection. Said strawberry laughed lightly, as did the two other shinigami and Mariko, before patting the small boy on the head. Toshiro looked up to him for a moment and smiled before looking back at Nana, who had now got herself to her knees, and stuck his tounge out to her. Nana noticed this and got extremely ticked as she managed to get to her feet. Next this the four others in the room knew, Toshiro had darted out of the room, followed closly by a angry Nana carrying a bucket over her head, still full of steaming water.

Everyone stayed quietly until the running stopped and a loud cry was head from not too far away from the room. Everyone noticed that the cry wasn't from Toshiro, and so went to investigate. When they got there, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Toshiro was still bone dry, but Nana and a rather confused Nyuu were not. Mariko looked back and saw, what looked this, evidence that Nana had just tripped up the carpet, due to the small bit flapping over.

"Nana your such a baka head!" Laughed Mariko as she pointed at said girl and soon began to roll around the floor. Matsumoto and Ichigo were also laughing, along with Ukitake who had decided to hand the two girls some towels in the linnin basket not too far from where they were.

Ichigo laughed less when he felt tuggin at he sleeve. He looked down and saw Toshiro pouting out him sweetly.

"Ne, ne, Ichigo...Go beach?" He asked sweetly and Ichigo thought about it for a moment. The beach would be okay as long as they didn't talk to any person giving out free boat rides like yesterday. After a few moments he nodded and Toshiro smiled brightly before grabbing hold of Nyuu and dashing upstairs. Everyone watched them disapear then turned to Ichigo.

"He said he wanted to go to the beach" Mariko smiled sweetly before picking up the empty bucket and began heading out of the room.

"You three should take Nyuu and Shiro, me and Nana will keep cleaning so Kouta will be fine with it" Ichigo nodded and smiled as Mariko finally left the room, followed shortly by Nana. Ichigo, Matsumoto and Ukitake got dressed as quickly as possible and waited down by the front door.

Toshiro and Nyuu quickly came running down the stairs, both out of their pjs and in outdoor clothes.

Nyuu was wearing her grey dress with light and dark grey long socks that stopped before getting to her toes, her red shoes, pink top under her dress and her favorite purple ribbons over her neko like horns and pink one around her neck. Toshiro was wearing a plain white shirt with tight black trousers, black scarf and fingerless gloves, and a pair of bright white trainers. Everyone smiled happily before going out the door and heading down to the beach.

Once there, Toshiro and Nyuu instantly ran down to the sand and began to try and build something out of it. The three shinigami smiled at them as Ichigo wondered over and began helping, as Matsumoto and Ukitake just sat on the sand and looked at the sea as it hit against the shore. It was so beautiful.

But after a few minutes of this, Matsumoto became bored and soon wondered over to the trash part of the beach, full of old boats and stuff that had been used in summers past. She stared at one of the boats that seemed to have just been dumped upside down, then how some of the fencing around it was ripped down. She was about to walk over to see what had happened, when her foot landed in a liquid. Matsumoto lifted her foot up and looked down. Her grey eyes widened.

Blood. Plenty of it all around where she stood. She looked to the left slightly and saw a body without a head stuck on a metal pole on the upside down boat. She turned her head in the other direction and saw the head of the body, its eyes wide and looking terrified, as a small family of rats were slowly eating away at the flesh of its face. Matsumoto screamed.

Everyone else looked up from what they were doing. Ukitake and Ichigo nodded at each other as Ichigo told Nyuu and Toshiro to keep building. They wondered over to Matsumoto, who was now sat on the floor, and looked over to what she was staring at. Their eyes widened also at the murder site. It was enough to make them almost sick. They had all seen stuff like death, but to see the body in such a state as this, it was horrible to look at. Ukitake helped Matsumoto to her feet and took both her and Ichigo away from the site and back to where Toshiro and Nyuu were, oblivious to what they had just seen. The shinigami sat down along the wall, trying to erase what they had just seen from their minds.

-----------------------------------------------

"Hey Nana?" Called Kouta from the top of the stairs. Nana looked up to him.

"Yeah?"

"Can you go find Mariko for me, i need her help quickly" Nana mumbled something under her breath before looked back up to him.

"Sure" And then she walked off, looking for the amazing vanishing Mariko. She checked the kitchen, the livingroom, the bathroom and everywhere else inside. No Mariko. Then she had a thought. Maybe outside. She put on her slippers and opened the front door.

"Hey, Mariko, where are you?" Shouted Nana as she walked outside and over towards the shed. She smiled at what she saw. Mariko was curled up under the shade of the shed, her head resting on one arm and her knees close to her chest, a sweet smile on her face. Nana was about to walk over to the sleeping girl and shake her away, when she felt a dark presence behind her.

She turned her head slowly to see a figure she had never wanted to see again.

"Sonna..." She whispered as an invisable hand headed straight past her and head for Mariko. Nana jumped infront of the attack and blocked it off as she glared darkly at the person infront of her.

"Why are you free...?" She asked.

------------------------------

Nyuu and Toshiro suddenly looked up and looked back towards the house. They both glared at eachother before looking away and rising to their feet. The shinigami were confused for a second before they all shared a thought. Wait are they...?

But the two didn't fight like the shinigami were thinking they were going to. The two simply glanced over to eachother and nodded before sprinting back in the direction of the house. The shinigami blinked before standing up and also doing the same thing.

The shinigami quickly caught up and soon they arrived at the front of the house. Toshiro and Nyuu looked round before running towards the back of the house, the shinigami following.

When they got there, their eyes widened. Nana was standing there, blood dripping down her face and from her mouth, a huge hole in her chest when it looked asthough she had been stabbed. Behind her was a terrified Mariko holding her hands of her ears and her knees to her chest crying lightly. Toshiro's eyes widened as he saw the girl who had caused it all.

"Rena..." Nyuu blinked at Toshiro before glaring darkly at said girl. Rena turned round and smiled at the two, a small amount of Nana's blood on her face and on one of ehr invisable hands.

"Would you looky here, the whole gangs together ne?" She said sweetly as one of her invisable hands grabbed Nana around her neck, choking her slightly.

"Just like i wanted" She said much more darkly.

"What do you want?" Asked Lucy as she took a step forward. Rena just smirked as she put more pressure on Nana's throat.

"Just to say this is your last chance..." She said all sweetly again.

"Come back to the facility or else you WILL be disposed of" And with that, she let go of Nana and took off. Nana fell to the floor as the shinigami ran over to her. Toshiro's personality quickly shifted back to his happy self as he walked over to Maiko and sat down infront of her. He took hold of her arms lightly and pulled them down slowly. Mariko opened her eyes at him and blinked before swinging her arms around his neck and crying loudly, Toshiro patting her back to try and comfort her as she slowly stopped crying and relaxed more.

Matsumoto quickly picked Nana up in her arms and ran into the living room, when she found Kouta unconcious on the floor. She laid Nana on the floor carfully and began to try and heal Nana's stab wound. Mariko and Toshiro came wondering in, with a now sweet Nyuu, and all stared in amazment as Matsumoto's hand glowed a green colour. Ichigo directed them out of the room and into the hall where he closed the living room door.

"What was that Matsumoto was doing Ichigo-kun?" Asked Mariko. Nyuu and Toshiro nodded their heads because they also wanted to know. Ichigo sighed and thought of a quick way to explain it.

"Well, like your vectors, we have a power to make help people heal faster" Mariko looked amazed as she nodded, while the other two were just staring at him in total confusion. Ichigo and Mariko smiled before hearing loud noises from the living room.

They all wondered in to see Ukitake place a cool cloth over Nana's sweaty head, while Matsumoto finished bandaging her wounds up. Nyuu wondered over to Nana and sat down next to her in complete silence. Toshiro held onto Mariko's shoulder and hide behind her, due to the fact that Nana has banadages on her head from small cuts and it didn't look too much like her anymore. Mariko smiled lightly as she patted him on the head. Toshiro smiled as he pulled Mariko towards the kitchen and, after a few mintues of the sound of smashing items, Mariko crying at Toshiro to stop what he was doing, and more crashing, Toshiro came wondering out of the room with seven glasses of water, each with a lemon slice in it.

A few seconds after he came out, Mariko came out looked extremely angry with Toshiro. Everyone noticed her aura and, all but Toshiro, backed away from her and slowly lined up to the door. Toshiro, confused by their actions turned round and saw Mariko's angered face. He just put the drinks down and ran over to Mariko where he hugged her and smiled happily. Mariko couldn't help but stop glared and was about to pat him on the head, when Toshiro suddenly pulled back.

Mariko blinked in confusion as she once more reached out to pet Toshiro on the head, but he back away once again and quickly ran out of the living room door, out the front door and out the garden. Everyone stared in pure confusion at this. Why did he suddenly act like this?

And then the shinigami felt it. THAT reitsu began to surface from around the house. Mariko and Nyuu, who were oblivious, continued to stare out the window.

"Ne, Mariko, we'll get him back, you stay here and keep an eye on everyone ok?" Asked Ichigo. Mariko looked at him, nodded and waved the shinigami off as they left in search of Toshiro before the reitsu got to him.

------------------------------

Toshiro hugged his knees as he hid under one of the small trees, the leaves shading over his head and the grass below making him feel slightly more relaxed as he kept his vision glued to the floor. He waited a few seconds before a pair of white sandal like shoes and black socks came into his view. He gulped before he slowly looked up to see who it was.

It was a person with bright blue hair and dark blue eyes with small green bits trailing from the side of the eyes. Down at his chin, there was an amount of bone that took the form of a row of teeth. He was wearing a bright white top, that didn't connect at the front so his chest and stomach were exposed, with collar folded over to reveal the inside of the top was black. He also had a pair of plain white trousers with a black band around the top of them, with a small peice of white sticking out of the top, revealing it to be Grimmjow. The Espada looked down to Toshiro and smirked.

"Well, shinigami aint ya gonna fight with me?" He asked, but Toshiro just stared at him in confusion, which really pissed him off. Grimmjow glared at him for a few seconds before picking Toshiro up by the back of shirt and holding him face to face.

"Are you trying to screw with me shinigami?" Toshiro blinked.

"Shini...Gami...?" Gimmjow blinked in confusion. What the hell was this little taichou playing at, cause what ever it was it was defently getting to him. Grimmjow glared once again as he flung Toshiro over his shoulder and began walking away. But Toshiro didnt like the idea of leaving his spot. He then began to kick and scream at Grimmjow, most of the screaming being the word 'Nyuu'. Grimmjow held on tighter to the kid. Why had Aizen giving him the job to catch him?

Grimmjow had continued to walk, but Toshiro kicks and punches were getting more and more painful with every hit, plus he was screaming straight in his ear, which had by now gone numb.

Toshiro was panicking now. The big scary man was going to take him away from his home. Toshiro closed his eyes as he called out one of the only names he knew.

"I-Ichigo!" That was it, Grimmjow had had enough. He pinned Toshiro against the nearest tree by his throat, and held him with his feet dangling. Toshiro pulled at the hand to let go and let him get some air, but it refused. He did the best thing he could do right now. He tilted his head and bit down on Grimmjow's hand as much as he could.

Grimmjow dropped Toshiro as he took hold of his hand. The kid sure could bite hard.

Toshiro shot up from where he landed and soon began running away from the espada. Grimmjow growled as he let go of his hand and shunpo'ed to where Toshiro was, which wasn't too far but proved he could run fast if he wanted to. Grimmjow jumped above him and got his fist ready as he headed over to punch Toshiro. The small boy looked up as he put his arms over his head and crouched down as quickly as possible.

Toshiro felt force hit above him, but none actually hit him. He looked up carfully and smiled when he saw one, Kurosaki Ichigo standing over him, a sword in his hand blocking Grimmjow's attack. Toshiro heard more foot steps and looked back to see Matsumoto and Ukitake run over to him.

"Shiro, are you ok? Did he hurt you anywhere?" Matsumoto asked. Toshiro nodded and smiled up at her. She smiled back before gathering him in her arms and running over to one of the trees, where she placed him on a branch and told him to hold on and stay right there. Toshiro nodded and held onto the branch. Matsumoto smiled lightly before turning around and glared at Grimmjow, who was now trying to attack Ichigo, said shinigami hust managing to dodge an attack each time.

Matsumoto and Ukitake shunpo'ed towards the sky, to look to see if anybody else was around. Luckily, it didn't look asthough there were anymore of Aizen's minions around. They were so wrong. Just at that moment, two arrancar charged full blast at them, catching the two high ranking shinigami of guard as both were hit by the enemy and sent flying. Both shinigami back flipped and landed on their feet as they sheathed their swords. The two who attacked them came into their veiw.

It was a young boy and girl, who were most likly twins. The boy had spiky blue hair, his fringe going over his left eye, a black and white checkered shirt and a pair of puffy clown bottoms on, while the girl had short pink hair, with her fringe going over her right eye, along with a black and white boob tube top and puffy clown bottoms. Both of the them had a peice of their hollow mask, over the eye covered by their fringe, which looked like half a pair of sunglasses. The twins smirked at the shinigami.

"Yare, yare, weren't so prepared for that were you?" They said in unison. The shinigami glared at them. They braced themselves as the twins came at them again with another attack. The twins leaned in to Matsumoto and Ukitake.

"Although, i better the kid down there didn't expect his visitor either" Matsumoto and Ukitake's eyes widened as the both pushed back and looked down to the tree to see Toshiro was no longer there, but a few meters away, just dodging a swing in his direction from a arrancar who loocked much older then the twins but was wearing the same outfit as the male twin. Matsumoto was about to run down there, but the female twin got in her way.

"No interupting, that is his fight and this is yours" She said before taking another swing at Matsumoto. Matsumoto countered it and was able to lauch the female twin a distance away from her. Matsumoto loked back down to her taichou to see him get punched straight into a few trees. She saw the other arrancar head in there. She was about to run down, when she heard a painful cry come from down there and a second later, the arracar's body came flying straight back out, broken in half and blood pouring everywhere. Matsumoto stared at it for a while, before her eyes widened in understanding of what had just happened.

Toshiro soon walked back out of the trees and stood over the dead body, looking down to it. Matsumoto looked infront of her to see the female twin glaring at Toshiro deeply.

"Why you little!" She shouted before launching herself down to attack Toshiro, as soon as she entered ten meters away from him, his head liftled slightly and four vectors attacked the unexpecting arrancar. All four peirced straight through her stomach and out of her back. The female twin's eyes widened as she looked down at the wound had appeared from nowhere.

"ALICE!" Shouted the male twin as he too charged for Toshiro. Toshiro's head shifted in the direction the other twin was heading, and a vector ripped his leg clean off, followed by his arm and then his waist was ripped away. Alice, who was still barely alive, gasped at her brother's death. Toshiro heard her gasp and pushed his vectors in even deeper. She cried in pain before her eyes dulled and she was also dead.

Matsumoto stared wide eyed at the scene infront of her infold. Her taichou was killing the enemies in some of the most prolonged ways she had ever seen before. She shunpo'ed down to him the try and stop him for doing it again.

As soon as she got down to where he was, she froze in fear as she realised that she hadn't got the glasses with her, he could kill her if he wanted to. Both stood still before Matsumoto felt something rest on her forehead, her heart and her throat. Matsumoto's eyes widened.

"Don't make any move, they will kill you at any movement" He told her, his face still shaded over until he looked up to her, showing his peircing eyes. Matsumoto gasped.

"Now, don't interupt m-" He said and Matsumoto felt the vectors retreat from her suddenly. She looked down to him and saw him holding his head in pain. Matsumoto held her hands out as Toshiro suddenly collapsed infront of her. She picked him up carfully and stared at him for a few seconds before looking back to Ichigo.

Ichigo was about to attack Grimmjow, when a dimentional rip appeared and Grimmjow vanished down it. Ichigo growled as the rip slammed shut, so he sighed as he re-shealthed his sword. He wondered over to Matsumoto and took the sleeping Toshiro for her arms.

Both of them nodded to each other before all three shinigami shupo'ed back to the house. They wondered into the living room to see everyone fast asleep. Matsumoto smiled as she picked up Mariko carfully then Ichigo and Matsumoto both took the two upstairs to their beds. They placed them down carfully and turned off the light before wondering back downstairs, to see that Nyuu was awake again, but only just, along with Kouta who was confused about what had happened.

Kouta looked at them before standing up.

"W-What happened?" Matsumoto scratched the back of her head before she looked at him.

"Well..."

------------------------------------------

A figure silently moved through the house in pitch black darkness. It slowly headed down the stairs and out of the front door. It headed out past the shed and towards the huge pool, where another figure stood. The first figure walked towards the one already there and stopped about twenty meters away. The moon came out from behind the clouds, revealing the two figures to who they were.

"You took your time Lucy" Said Rena from her sitting position on the edge of the pool.

"I hade to wait for everyone to fall asleep" She said quietly and Rena smiled happily before rising up to her feet and walked closer.

"So, are you comming back with me?" She asked and Lucy stayed quiet for a moment before sighing.

"Do you honestly think i would abandon everyone here?" Rena stopped smiling as she blinked for a second, before returning to her smiling position.

"So, are you telling me that you would rather live with the boy then stay alive" Lucy frowned.

"I send nothing about him being the reson im staying Rena"

"I should of thought not, seeing as how you and he were always ready to kill on another" Lucy continued tofrown at her before Rena sighed.

"Well, i guess i'm going to have to do my part then" The moon covered up by the clouds once again as two sets of vectors shot up high into the night sky.
