"Wake up! Mommy! Daddy! Wake up! Wake up!" Ichigo groaned loudly, opening his eyes to see his five year old daughter jumping up and down, "Mm, wat is it?" "Hurry! Hurry! Come outside with me! It's IMPORTANT!" The girl yelled, he glanced over at his wife who had a pillow over her head and was pretending to sleep, they had come home for the holidays and couldn't manege to keep the kids all in one place, Rukia had been even more tired lately dealing with Isshin, Yuzu and Karin, plus the kids, so Ichigo decided to let her sleep, after all, wen she acts like this she's reeeeeaaaaaallyyyyy tired!
Masaki pulled her father forward, "Daddy look!" she sqealed, "Wat Coul- Oh my...-RUKIA!!!!!!!!!!!" In the house, under the covers of Ichigo's old bed, Rukia was about ready to tear someone's head off, she opened the window and was about to scream a few dozen curses at Ichigo wen she saw WHY he had woken her, "Oh my- Uh-oh," with that she hastily slid on a pair of sweat pants and her robe before running outside in a pair of slippers, running through the snow, she looked over at her husband, who stood wide eyed, "Only YOUR child, Ichigo," she mumbeled
She just stared in awe at the scene, on one side was her son, Taiyou, with his tounge stuck to a street pole, and directly opposite him, stood her daughter, Tsuki, dispencing change for the money she was getting, and directing the neighborhood children on were to stand to get a good veiw of the mess her twin brother had created, "Ichigo, you handle YOUR son, I will handle YOUR daughter," Ichigo looked at her like she had just grown a tail or sometthing, "They're YOUR kids too!" "But they inherited this from YOU!" She insisted, hands on her hips, "Twisted logic," he mumbeled, "besides, how do you recommened I seperate him from the pole?" Rukia rolled her eyes as if she were the only intellegent adult in the area....actually, she was, "Warm water?" she suggested, "Right!" Ichigo turned and ran towards the house, "And don't get it too hot or you'll scold his tounge off!" she yelled, meanwile she aproached her daughter, "Tsuki, wat are you doing?" the six year old turned around smileing, "Selling tickets, but you can see him for free Mommy," Rukia had to bite the inside of her lip to keep her act together, wenever her babies called her "Mommy" she just melted, but none the less, she held her ground, "Tsuki....did YOU put Taiyou up to that?" Tsuki smiled, "Uh-huh! Aren't I smart Mommy?" Rukia took in a deep breath, stareing back at Ichigo who was currently disconnecting their son from the street pole, "Tsuki....you can't do that," "Yes I can! Don't you see Mama? It worked!" Rukia bit her lip, she saw so much of herself in her young daughter, "Well, yes, but...it's very mean, you shouldn't do that," "But Taiyou called me a Strawberry Head!" Rukia shook her head, "Hey Ichigo! I've got another job for ya'!"
