Summary: Being the wonderful father he is, Isshin pays a visit to his son and the boy’s roommates

Isshin skipped lightly as he made his way to the apartment his son shared with Rukia, what seemed to be an arrancar named Nell, and a vaizard named Shinji. Not that any of them would be aware that the benevolent doctor was able to determine their nature by their reiatsu. Also, it wasn’t as if he couldn’t just read the logs of their journals.

He chuckled at the lengths his son went through to conceal his shinigami activities and the ridiculous excuses he came up with. Even better was perhaps Rukia-chan’s wildly implausible explanation as to what happened to her house and why she had needed a place to stay. Isshin was more than happy to provide a place for the girl to live, especially after she had been living in his son’s closet for so long.

“Ahhh Ichigo, do you really think your father so out of it that I would not notice something unusual?” he mused out loud. All things considered though, Isshin made to act the buffoon so that his son would never guessed Isshin capable of figuring anything out.

Well, it wasn’t necessarily <i>all</i> an act. But just because Isshin was perhaps slightly excitable at times that was no reason for his son to think him an idiot! He was a very talented doctor after all, surely if Isshin was capable of such an amazing feet he would not fail to notice another person living in his home!

“Ahhh, poor father that I am!” he moaned. “My eldest child thinks me a fool! Can a loving father not get any justice in the world!”

The rest of the trip to the apartment building that Rukia-chan had given him the address of was filled with Isshin bemoaning his plight to the world, although no one really seemed to be paying attention. By the time he got to the door of his son’s apartment though, he had calmed down enough to hold in his ranting for the time being.

Besides, for all his complaining Isshin <i>did</i> love his son and was looking forward to their reunion. Ichigo had accomplished so much in his time since becoming a shinigami and no one was more proud of him that Isshin. It ached that he wasn’t able to let his son know how proud of him he was though, since he still wasn’t ready to let Ichigo know the truth, that Isshin had once been a Captain level shinigami.

Stopping at the door, Isshin knocked three times before dropping down into a fighter’s crouch. He hoped his son opened the door, it had been a long time since he had given Ichigo a Kick-To-The-Head-Of-Fatherly-Love. Isshin really missed his son.

[ooc: If Ichigo opens the door he’s going to be attacked, if anyone else answers he’ll attempt a flying hug of fatherly love.]

Hearing the knock on the door, Rukia glanced up from her current position, that of sprawled on the couch reading a manga. It was unusual, as of late, for her to be so still, so inactive, and doing something so mundane as simply a bit of reading. Normally she would have been out, either on the roof, or at the beach, or whathaveyou. Anything to keep sleep at bay, to keep mind and body occupied. But at the moment, the romance manga she had found at the bookstore was sufficient.

Who would that be? We aren't expecting anyone, I don't think...

Swinging legs down off of the couch, she slipped feet into slippers and headed across the room to the door. Twisting the knob, she pulled it open.

"Rukia-chan!" Isshin cried, vaulting forward not to deliver a devastating kick but a hug filled with the love that only a father can give a girl who was like a daughter to him.

In a stunning combination of ferocity and delicacy Isshin swept the girl into his arms, enveloping her in his arms as he picked her up and spun her around.

"Rukia-chan who is like another daughter to me!" he continued. "I have missed you so, concerned about what fate cruel fortune might have delivered you to!"

While some might have considered it over the top, since Isshin was not able to thank Rukia how he truly wished, for guiding his son into the shinigami, and young man, he was today Isshin tried to express his gratitude in the guise of the overly emotional father. Of course, the tears he was shedding were all part of the act. Indeed, all part of the act. Well, mostly.

"It gives me great joy that you gave me the address so that I could find the domicile that you share with my wayward son!"
