Hi Everyone!

Basically this is a story about Ichigo and Uryu when they are little. What happens to them one day and who they meet.

Many Meetings

Isshin Kurosaki sighed as he sat down on one of the many boxes that filled the lounge room. Moving into the house with attaching clinic had been a big job and there was still a long way to go before they were completely unpacked.

Since he had lost his shinigami powers nearly eight years ago it had been his dream to open his very own clinic and now that dream was becoming a reality with his beloved wife Masaki and young son Ichigo by his side. Isshin had been a master at healing kido's and while his ability to perform kido had been taken away with all his other powers, he still had a knack for fixing peoples injuries and he was all too happy to use this ability to help treat the various illnesses and injuries of the Karakuta Town residents. Sure there were times when he missed his Shinigami powers but he knew that they would one day return. For now though he was satisfied with his wife, little Ichigo and their new clinic.

"Isshin, can you come over here for a moment?" came Masaki's voice from the kitchen.

Isshin sprang up, bounding towards the kitchen. "Coming my little bucket of delight." He cried bouncing towards Masaki.

Masaki sighed "none of that now". She dodged Isshin at the last moment causing him to go crashing down into one of the many boxes, sending pots and pans flying.

"You really are such a cluts sometimes darling" Masaki giggled as Isshin removed a saucepan from his head. Isshin looked from Masaki to Ichigo sitting up in his highchair both laughing at him and as the toddlers laughter filled the room Isshin couldn't help but grin.

"Can you make sure Ichigo finishes his lunch? I've really got to go" Masaki said as she grabbed her handbag.

"Go? Where? You never said you were going anywhere?" Isshin stated.

"You're joking right?" Masaki rolled her eyes.

"ohhh…um…" Isshin could sense that he may have put his foot in it.

"I've got my farewell party at work today, as I've been telling you every day this week"

"Oh right… I knew that" said Isshin. Truth be told he had forgotten about Masaki's farewell party today. It would be the last day of her life as a secretary at Karakura bank. The following Monday Masaki would be joining Isshin and Ichigo at the clinic. It would be the start of their new life.

"uh ha" Masaki looked doubtful. "Anyways, I'd better be going now" she said giving her husband a quick kiss before hugging Ichigo "bye-bye honey, Mummy will be back this afternoon. See you boys later" she said as she turned to leave "have fun"

"see you later honey" said Isshin grabbing Ichigo's hand and waving it. "now son!" exclaimed Isshin turning to face the little boy "what shall we do today? Maybe we can go down to the park and go on those swings you like, or maybe we can go for a swim at the beach, or we could go sky diving – oh wait your probably too young for that. Not to worry we could always…" Ichigo giggled as his father continued to come up with ideas for the days activity, mimicking each activity as he went. "wait! I got it! Said Isshin "we could-"

ring-ring, ring-ring

"fone!" cried Ichigo.

Isshin looked across the sea of boxes at the phone at the other side of the room. "darn. Why does the phone have top be in such a hard place to get to?" he muttered as he stumbled through he masses of boxes. "kurosaki residence, Isshin speaking"

"Isshin! I'm so glad you picked up, you need to get here right away!" came a hurried voice.

"who is th- wait… is that you Uraharra? Why are you calling? It something wrong?"

"There's no time explain, just get here asap" the line went dead.

Isshin groaned. This was the first time he had spoken to Uraharra since his and Masaki's wedding four years ago. Something must have happened to make uraharra call and judging the way Uraharra had spoken to him it must have been something urgent. Isshin considered this for a moment. Maybe Aizen had finally made another move? It had been decades since Aizen had done anything major, but something told Isshin this wasn't the case. Well uraharra had wanted Isshin to come over right away and it was probably best to do just that. He briefly wondered how Uraharra had got a hold of his phone numberso quickly. They had only been given it that morning and had not yet given it out to anyone, oh well it was just like uraharra to things others didn't. The only problem now was what to do with Ichigo. He didn't really want to take him to Uraharra's. it wasn't that Isshin was afraid of Ichigo finding out about his past as a captain level shinigami. Ichigo was still obviously to young too understand any of that kind of stuff and if he did pick up on anything he was still too young to remember anything. Isshin just didn't really think it would be a good idea to have Ichigo at Uraharra's especially after that phone call. But what could he do? None of Masaki's family lived in the country so he couldn't leave Ichigo with them, the neighbors were out of the question as they hadn't even met yet. Isshin laughed as he thought of his own family, they weren't even in the world of the living. Heck he wasn't even sure if the Shiba Clan even knew about Ichigo, it had been years since he had last heard from them. He had no other choice. "Well son" he said hoisting the small boy from his highchair "looks like your coming with me"
