I know what you're thinking, "Animewarrior's back! Where was she?", but I just wasn't into writing fanfics for a while, which is why I deleted No Damsels in Distress. Anyway, this is pretty much an apology gift for that.

A Day in the Life

Karin Hitsugaya was putting the laundry in the washing machine of her house in Karakura town, attempting to do at least a little cleaning. She should've known better than to think such a thing could be done as a little boy walked in.

His white hair was now dingy brown, his clean clothes were now filthy, and his sea green eyes looked furious. When Karin saw the little 6-year-old, her expression held clear confusion.

"Hitoshi? What happened to you?" questioned Karin, looking down at the child.

"The neighbor's kids threw dirt at me, mommy," he growled.

Now a normal mother would be gasping, walking over to the neighbor's house, and would start banging on their door angrily, demanding apologies be made. Karin knew better.

"They just threw dirt at you randomly?" Karin asked suspiciously.

"Yep," the boy replied.

"You didn't say anything to them first?" Karin inquired.

Hitoshi's flinch did not go unseen.

"Hitoshi?" Karin urged.

"Okay, maybe calling them mouth-breathing idiots wasn't smart, but they didn't have to throw dirt at me!" He complained.

"Hitoshi, you've have to stop insulting people you don't even know," Karin scolded as she picked the boy up and walked to the bathroom. "It's not a good way to make friends. Let's get you cleaned up."

"It's not my fault they're Neanderthals," he mumbled as his sea green eyes glared at the ground.

"A 6-year-old shouldn't even know what that means," Karin commented.

"I'm a smart 6-year-old," he stated proudly.

"You get that from your father," Karin added, and then a thought occurred to her as she put him down on the bathroom floor. "Hitoshi, where's your brother?"

"With Daddy, remember?" Hitoshi answered as he smirked. "Mommy, you forgot, didn't you?"

He's gets that smirk from his father too. Karin thought to herself.

*ADITL*

"Daddy! Daddy!" a young black-haired, six-year-old shouted.

"Yes, Hitome," sighed the 30-year-old Toushirou from his desk chair.

"There's a pond out here!" Hitome shouted.

Toushirou looked up from his paperwork to see his son in front of the opened door to the pond in the 10th division's barracks.

"Daddy, can we go swimming?" he asked hopefully, his violet grey eyes shining with excitement.

"Hitome, you're wearing new clothes that your mother just bought for you. Why would I let you go swimming and ruin them?" Toushirou questioned as he looked back towards his paperwork.

"Because swimming's fun," the boy reasoned.

Toushirou didn't even have to look up to know that Hitome was going towards the pond.

"Hitome, don't go in the water," Toushirou ordered.

"But, Dad-"

"Hitome," He warned, but it was already too late.

Splash!

Toushirou stopped writing, threw down his pen, got up from his desk chair, and walk to the pond outside to see he son playing in its shallow waters.

"Hitome!" he yelled.

Hitome stopped playing immediately and gulped. He turned his head towards his father as a nervous smile was placed upon his lips.

"Y-yes, Dad," he stuttered.

"I told you not to get in the water!" Toushirou reprimanded. Hitome flinched at his loud voice.

"Yeah, but you said, I couldn't because I would ruin my clothes," Hitome reasoned as he pointed to his clothes on the shore of the pond.

Great, so now, not only is he wet, but he's naked, Toushirou couldn't help but allow a chuckle to pass his lips. Hitome smiled brightly at his father's laughter.

*ADITL*

By the time Karin was done with dinner, her husband and other son walked through the door, the boy soaking in his clothes. Karin laughed lightly at the sight.

"What happened?" she asked with an amused smiled glazed on her face.

"Go put on some new clothes," Toushirou told Hitome.

As the boy ran upstairs to do so, Toushirou turned back to his wife, pecking her lips lightly.

"I told him not to go in the pond." Toushirou stated once they parted. "But of course, since he's YOUR son, he wouldn't listen."

Karin rolled your eyes. "Like you're not stubborn,"

"Not when I know it's a stupid idea," Toushirou joked.

"Oh no? What about that time Ichigo said that you weren't good enough for me and never would be? You challenged him to a battle right then and there," Karin reminded. "That was stubborn and stupid."

"I was fighting for you, you know," he commented.

"Whatever gets you to sleep at night." Karin replied in a sing-song tone as she turned and was about to walk back towards the kitchen.

Toushirou snaked his strong arm around her waist, intertwining his hands in front of her, so that she couldn't get away.

"You're what gets me to sleep at night," He muttered in an alluring voice as leaned down and kissed her neck while Karin smirked.

"Gross!"

Both parents look up at the shout to see their sons staring at them. Hitome's violet eyes held a mortified expression while Hitoshi's sea green ones held a look of pure fascination.

"Daddy, what are you doing to mommy?" Hitoshi asked. His twin took it upon himself to answer before his father could.

"He's kissing her, stupid!" Hitome retorted, his tone disgusted, especially when he said kissing.

"Who are you calling stupid, blockhead!" Hitoshi yelled back at his twin brother.

"At least I'm not a midget!"

Toushirou looked down at Karin accusingly. Blockhead? Midget? Wonder who they learned those from? Karin looked away innocently.

"You're only an inch taller than me, Tome-baka!"

"All I'm hearing is that I'm taller than you, Lil' Hitoshi,"

"That's it!"

Hitoshi tackled Hitome to ground and started punching him. Of course, Hitome got in a couple of good hits himself.

"Hitoshi, get off your brother!" Toushirou yelled as he ran over to them, trying to break up the fight. Karin joined him.

Once the parents separated their children, the two boys just glared at each other. Thankfully, no one was injured.

"Hitome, Hitoshi, apologize!" Their mother commanded.

"Hmph," the boys huffed as they looked away from each other.

"Apologize or you won't get dessert!" Karin added threateningly.

"Fine," they both said unison.

"I apologize," Hitome hissed through gritted teeth.

"I apologize too," Hitoshi replied, an icy glare still shooting from his eyes.

"Good," Karin sighed.

"Alright you two, go wash up for dinner before you give mommy an aneurism," Toushirou instructed.

"What's an aneurism?" Hitoshi asked as Hitome also shared a curious look.

"Just go wash up," Toushirou answered.

The boys shrugged and then headed to the upstairs bathroom while Toushirou and Karin started setting up the dinner table.

"When did they get so…"

"Wild?" Karin optioned. "Probably around the first time they saw their dad kill a hollow,"

"You say that like it's my fault," Toushirou protested. "It's not like I meant for the thing to come when we went on our family vacation."

Karin sighed tiredly. "Of course not, but when that thing attacked, I could see it in Hitome's face and Hitoshi's eyes. They want to be just like their strong and powerful Father."

Toushirou smiled softly at his wife, but then frowned at himself.

"We're both shinigami, Karin. It's only a matter of time before they are too." He notified. Karin finished the table and walked over to him, laying her head on his shoulder.

"I agree, especially since you take Hitome to Soul Society with you every other day," Karin reminded.

"What? He's got those violet gray eyes that I can't say no to, just like his mother's," Toushirou argued playfully as he kissed his wife's lips.

"Not again! Gross!" They heard Hitome holler. This time the two parents couldn't help but laugh.

*ADITL*

After dinner was done, Hitome and Hitoshi washed up and were tucked in by their mother as their father stood in the doorway.

"Hey, Dad, tomorrow can you take us to work with you?" Both twins asked.

"You both wanna come?" he asked. They'd never both gone at once. Plus, Hitoshi rarely ever wanted to go to soul society.

"Yeah, Tome-baka, told me about the pond!" Hitoshi stated excitedly, which made Toushirou sigh.

"Great…" he groaned.

"Good luck with that, Dad," Karin joked as she kissed both her sons goodnight.

"Thanks, I'll need it with these two," He replied as he ruffled both white and black hair. The twins laughed at their father's comment.

"Goodnight," Toushirou and Karin announced.

"Night!" The two yelled back before Karin turned off the light and closed their door.

*ADITL*

Well, that was my drabble of what I think Hitsukarin family life should be. I hope you all enjoyed it. Who knows when I'll be back to write another story, but for now this is it. See ya when I see ya. Please review!
