Showers always made him feel better. When Toshiro Hitsugaya took a shower, it showed the exact mood he was in. When he turned the handle to a burning hot temperature, he was usually very angry, to the brink of slashing someone with any nearby weapon. When the knob was all the way to icy cold, it meant he was very calm or incredibly happy. Warm, was neutral. The one he used the most was very hot.

Toshiro shut off the burning hot water, and stepped out of the shower a bit red from the heat. He shook his head of pure white hair, and wrapped the laid out towel around his waist. He left the bathroom, and went into the bedroom where his school uniform was laid out. He would be out of this house today, his suitcase at the door, his foster parents snoring loudly in the next room. He sighed, and began putting on his uniform.

Hitsugaya went to Sean Kybosh Academy, which was co-ed. His uniform was a white t-shirt with a blue tie, which the tie had a symbol right at the bottom of two entwined clovers. He tied the tie most expertly, and grabbed his school bag. He got perfect grades, perfect, perfect, perfect. Everything about him was pretty much spectacular, and he was the best of the best in soccer.

The girls and boys of Sean Kybosh Academy called him the Ice Prince. Girls swooned over him, boys thinking he was insanely cool. Toshiro had heard some of the deluded fantasies of his 'fans'. They all thought he lived in some type of mansion, filled with servants and crap. He laughed bitterly to himself, going to the school.

As if.

He was abandoned, nobody wanted him after his mother and father died. So, he did all he could do, he sat and waited. Eventually, dear old Unohana took care of him. That was until, she became a full time doctor. After that, she was forced to send him away so he could have a better life. Toshiro had been infuriated, icy eyes flaming and everything. Kisuke and Yoruichi took him in when he was twelve, and had been taking care of him up until last night.

"Hitsugaya…" Yoruichi started, Kisuke stopped her. He looked at Hitsugaya sadly,

"We have to let you go Toshiro. But, we did find a good home. Full of people your age."

Toshiro sat cross-legged, and said nothing. So this was it, they tossed the little 'ice prince' around until nobody caught him. He stood up angrily, "I might as well go tomorrow!"

Kisuke frowned, he had truly wanted Hitsugaya to stay. He had grown like a son to him. He wasn't sure who it was, but someone messed around with the law in such a way, that Kisuke couldn't even talk to the boy.

'I'll be fine. I'll make it through. Just act like normal.' He thought while stomping out of the room, infuriated. Kisuke shook his head, and left the room. Yoruichi sighed nervously, and banged her head on the table.

--!!&!!--

The dark haired girl leaned against the wall of the school, a couple of friends beside her. She gasped, seeing the ice prince enter the school gates with his usual friends. Her friend, who was also her sister, Rukia tapped her on the shoulder,

"Soi Fon, did dad say who was staying at our house?"

Soi Fon glanced at her, "No. He said it was a surprise."

The other sister, Momo, smiled, "Hopefully it's a girl. I don't know what I would do if it was boy. Roaming around the house and…" she blushed a deep red, twiddling her thumbs. Soi Fon rolled her eyes.

"As if I'd even let a random boy roam around the house with all of us sisters."

"Have Rangiku, Yachiru, Nanao, and Nemu found out yet?"

Rukia blinked, "I believe Rangiku knows. Soi Fon, do you know?"

Soi Fon nodded absentmindedly, while watching the ice prince and his friends laugh about something. Well, the ice prince simply cracked the smallest of smiles. Rukia sighed, following her sister's gaze.

"He is quite handsome."

Momo nodded her head, "The most handsome."

--!!&!!--

He held a slip of paper, the address clearly written on it. Renji, Ichigo, Chad, and Uryu stood behind him. His group of friends had gathered with him after school to help him calm down. They were best friends, Toshiro being the most coldest one in the group. He took a gulp of breath, and turned his head around slightly,

"I'll be doing this part on my own guys."

Renji was about to make a smart remark, when Hitsugaya glared dangerously. Ichigo laughed nervously, and stuck a thumb up, giving Toshiro a toothy grin, "Enjoy your new home!"

Renji nodded his head, along with Chad and Uryu. They ran off quickly, before Toshiro could kick them hard with his soccer kick.

The teal eyed ice prince knocked on the door of the house. Rather, mansion. It was huge, and looked Victorian. Where exactly had Kisuke sent him?

The door opened, revealing a smiling white haired man, "Welcome, you must be Toshiro Hitsugaya, correct?"

Toshiro nodded his head, and held out his hand, "It's nice to meet you Jūshirō Ukitake."

The man smiled knowingly, and shook hands with the boy. He ushered him in, the same grin plastered on his face. "This here is the main room, my kids have some friends over sometimes, but with as many as mine, they just stick together."

Toshiro wondered silently how his children acted and such, and if they would make a big deal out of him. He pointed to the stairs, "Is my room up there?"

Ukitake patted his head, "Yep, I'll show you to your room, cough, okay?"

Toshiro was wide eyed for a moment, after hearing violent coughs erupt from the man. "Are you alright?"

The man shook his hand, "F-Fine. Happens all the time Hitsugaya."

Toshiro nodded his head approvingly of the man, 'He called me Hitsugaya…that's good.'

Meanwhile, the girls entered the house silently. Rukia looked over at her eldest sisters, Soi Fon and Rangiku, "Wonder what she looks like."

"You guys are in for a surprise," Rangiku started smiling, "It's going to be great to have another kid here, with dad always being kind, he makes everyone feel welcome."

"Who is it-" The purple orbed girl, better know as Rukia, started.

The girls heard some steps coming down the main large stairs, and they looked at the white haired man. Momo beamed,

"Hello dad!"

Ukitake smiled, and went to his daughters. "How was your day at school?"

"Fine as always!" Momo replied, Rangiku giggling in the background.

"Except when she got scolded by the teacher for dozing off in class!"

Soi Fon laughed lightly, "That was funny. She threw a piece of chalk right at your head."

Rukia chimed in, "She had deadly accuracy!"

"Momo has been a bad, bad girl!!" The pink haired sister, Yachiru, laughed.

Ukitake smiled, and patted the nervously stammering Momo's head. A voice sounded from the top of the steps,

"Ukitake, where should I put my shoes?"

All the girls, other than Rangiku, froze. Ukitake didn't notice, and simply looked over at the stairs, "There's a coat closet down here, Hitsugaya. That's where you can put them after school!"

Toshiro walked down the steps and when he reached the bottom, it was only until then he noticed all the girls by Ukitake. The ice prince pointed at them, "These your kids?"

"Y-Y-You're a boy?!" Yachiru exclaimed, eyes wide as saucers. Toshiro coughed,

"Last time I checked, yes."

Nemu had out a notepad, and was writing down some notes. "White hair, short…Name is Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of the boys soccer team…I'll have to measure him later…teal eyes…very, very, handsome…"

Nanao coughed, and adjusted her glasses, "Father, you didn't tell us the person to stay with us was to be a male."

Rukia tugged on her sister Soi Fon's uniform sleeve, "Nevertheless, Toshiro Hitsugaya! Ice Prince of Sean Kybosh Academy!"

The white haired boy heard that comment, and knitted his eyebrows tightly together, "Ice prince, huh?"

Rukia slightly hunched over, pink dusting her cheeks. "U-Uh, that's what I hear they call you!"

Rangiku laughed loudly, and grinned at her father. Her father returned the grin, now fully aware of the other girls trembling in joy.

Soi Fon was stunned to the point where she wanted to topple over. She shakily held out her hand, leaving her other six sisters petite sheets of flushed colours. She looked into the ice prince's eyes, and took a deep silent breath before introducing herself.

"Soi Fon Ukitake, pleasure to meet you."

The way she stood, ridged and straight, Toshiro smirked widely knowing she was most likely like the other girls. Mostly shy and secretly a fan girl. It wasn't that he wanted to be living with girls that loved him, it just made him smile at how awkward it must be for them to have the boy they like in the exact same house.

"Toshiro Hitsugaya. Nice to meet you." He took her hand, and shook it gently. Though, that action made her look like she was about to buckle at her knees and fall over. He smirked again, which made all the girls half swoon, and he instantly went wide eyed as the big breasted girl hugged him to the point where he couldn't breathe because of her breasts.

"Hey, hey! Welcome to our house!" She gave him a toothy grin, similar to the ones Ichigo usually gave him. Toshiro nodded his head frustrated, as he tried to regain his breath. "I'm Rangiku, and these here are all of my sisters! Soi Fon already took it upon herself to introduce herself, but these other girls look like they lost their way of speech!"

Rukia narrowed her eyes, and was about to say something when Toshiro looked over at her, "Hey." She went red, and said nothing looking away. Rangiku smiled at her,

"That's my sister Rukia! She's such a shorty! She gets really good grades and stuff, but her drawings are awful-!"

"R-Rangiku!" The said girl exclaimed, pulling on her sister Rangiku's hair. Rangiku groaned, and said a couple of sorry's before moving on.

She pulled over a widely grinning pink haired girl, which made Toshiro inwardly chuckle. The little girl was pink in the face, though it looked like it was some natural thing. Her eyes were of a child, and she was the shortest. She gave him the cutest of looks, which reminded him of little kids.

"This is Yachiru! She's the runt of the family! But don't mess with her because she can seriously beat the cra-!"

Ukitake coughed, giving a stern look to his big chested daughter. She laughed lightly, and pulled two girls over. They seemed red in the face, but also unfazed by him being in the house.

"This is-!"

The girl with dark hair coughed, "I can address myself, Rangiku." she adjusted her glasses, "I'm Nanao, I'm the vice president for the student council at the Sean Kybosh High school."

Toshiro made a sudden 'oh' sound, which made the girls curious by his sudden interest, "My friend was saying something about that…"

Nanao got a scary look in her eyes, "What exactly…?"

Rangiku nervously laughed, "AH HAH HA HAA! Moving on!" she placed a shoulder on the girl who seemed very skinny and her hair was nicely set up.

"I am Nemu. I am the head of the science club in the school." She gave him a strange look, and he cocked an eyebrow,

"Hm?"

She took out her pad, and began writing again. Murmuring under her breath she check off a box, "Seems completely normal over circumstances when living with girls. Monitor later actions, sleeping patterns may be in order…"

Toshiro didn't hear, and assumed she was taking down notes or just loved writing. He looked expectantly over at a brunette, who instantly went wide eyed and stuttered out, "I-I'm Momo!" It came out like a squeak, and Soi Fon failed miserably at masking her laughter.

Toshiro pointed at himself, "Well I guess you all know my name by now." He rubbed the back of his head unsure of what to say, "It'll be nice staying with you guys."

Ukitake nodded his head approvingly, and patted Hitsugaya's back, "So, why don't you all do something while I go make something to eat?"

Soi Fon looked like she began choking, before she quickly waved goodbye and dashed up the stairs. Rukia and Momo followed, not wanting to be with the ice prince alone since they both felt uneasy and incredibly shy. That left him with doll faced Yachiru, the very serious Nanao, the strange note taking Nemu, and big breasted Rangiku.

They went into the living room, where Nemu asked him: "Where did you live before here?"

Toshiro froze, and looked at his feet while taking a seat in a nearby lounge chair. "…Foster care." Nemu gave him a sad look, before writing some stuff down on paper.

"Foster care, may be the cause of his icy exterior…" Once again, the ice prince didn't hear and just shuffled his feet.

Rangiku gave a small sympathetic smile, before sitting down on the two seat couch where Nanao and Nemu joined her. Yachiru left the room to get some drinks. Toshiro coughed,

"Soi Fon seems pretty fast."

Nanao smiled proudly, feeling a sense of pride when he complimented her sister, "She's on the Cross Country team, the track and field team, basketball, baseball, and girls soccer. And volleyball. She's in almost every sport."

Toshiro nodded his head just as Yachiru entered the room with a tray of four drinks. He grabbed the water, and smiled the slightest, "Thanks." Yachiru handed the drinks to her three sisters, before sitting down on the floor drinking her water. "I'm on the soccer team." Hitsugaya said, feeling the need to add in a fact since the girls were literally pouring information onto him.

"Oh, we know. Soi Fon is always-"

"Is always saying what an amazing athlete you are." Nanao interrupted the much to freely speaking Rangiku. "She admires Jane-Marie too, you know her right? The girl on the soccer team that plays forward?"

Toshiro nodded his head, "Yeah, she's one of my friend's cousin. She sometimes practices with me in soccer. Mostly every other week though, it's hard to find girls who are good at soccer."

Meanwhile, three girls huddled in the air vent that was in the living room. Soi Fon was beaming and was a cute shade of red, while Momo was groaning silently for much needed space. Rukia was busy doodling in the vent making little 'chappy bunnies' everywhere.

"He likes girls who play soccer…"

"He didn't exactly mean it like that." Momo added, to make a point. The two became quiet after hearing the group talk again.

"So Toshiro!" Rangiku started, earning herself a 'call-me-Hitsugaya!' glare. "What's it like to be mobbed by girls everyday?"

Hitsugaya sighed annoyed, and sank into his chair, "Awful. It's the most annoying thing in the world. It ticks me off when the girls start throwing themselves at me…"

"Subject does not like too forward girls. Another item that may make the Subject tick or become irritated."

Nanao smiled knowingly, "Yes, they make quite the spectacle of themselves at school. It's the most funniest thing when watching from afar."

Toshiro gave a large smile, showing some of his pearly, straight, white teeth. "Yeah, I've seen it happen to a couple of other guys."

All the girls in the room (including the ones in the vent) went red, Rukia sighed dreamily,

"What a handsome smile…"

Authors Note: Yeah, if the characters seem OOC, that's just the way it is. I love Toshiro/any pairings! As long as their not too crazy. The seven sisters seem to like him a lot, but who will actually win him over? I'm pretty sure stories like these are called harems (sp?), right? Oh, I also wanted to know if AU meant: 'Another Universe'. If so, this story is AU! I hope you review, and please read the next chapter! Bye-bye!
