Kaien took a deep breath as he left the family restaurant. Isshin acted as if he were in a better mood, but something told him that his brother was keeping things from him... again. "Seriously... we used to share everything with each other. We're twins for crying out loud. Does he seriously think I won't notice the fact he's conveniently left things out?"

"Your brother started keeping things from you the day he decided to disappear. He told his fukutaicho and third seat where he was going, but not me and Miyako."

"You and Miyako were worried about the fact you couldn't have children and the adoption. You were spending less and less time with him and more with her. It is only logical that he would have found someone like you did. Not to mention here the fact not being around him caused him to be bored, which in turned caused him to act out."

"He's got no business acting like the adult in this relationship when I was the one always babysitting his ass."

"Is he really acting differently then he did before? He's always been protective of you and you know that. The only real difference between then and now is his maturity level. Separating from you and Miyako forced him to grow up."

"This isn't how it feels. It feels like he's treating me like Ku-chan and Ganju. I don't need to be coddled or babied."

"Kaien... he's not trying to coddle you. Perhaps he just doesn't know how to react and say things to you anymore. For you there was no separation, but for him there was."

"No separation? That's..."

"I'm not talking about 'not' seeing each other. You know I'm not."

Kaien let out a sigh as he unlocked the door to his home. He took the time to shower and change before taking the time to toss some clothes onto the counter along with the book he had taken with him. He locked the door and got onto his bike to drive back to the hospital. He stopped short when he heard the sound of a female voice shouting at someone as said female came closer. The voice came from the other side of the wall that separated his house from the neighbors.

Upon looking up he saw two hands gripping the top of the wall. "Not..." The next thing he saw was the bottom of a sneaker coming towards his face as a young female swung over the top of the wall as well as a flash of a girl's underwear. "Hey!"

The vocal reaction from him didn't prevent the foot from making contact with his face. This in turn caused his body to lurch to the side which in turn brought his bike down on top of him. He found himself on the ground with both his bike and the girl on top of him. The violet haired girl sat on top of his left shoulder and placed a finger to her lips as she made a sound indicating she wanted him to be quiet. The sound of a couple male voices came from the other side. Kaien let out a groan. "Get off of me!"

The girl scuttled back. "Shush Shiba Sensei! I don't wish to be caught!"

Kaien pushed his bike off himself and stood it back up while he glared at the girl. Her golden eyes were wide with nervous anticipation. "What kind of trouble have you gotten into this time? Aren't you supposed to be a senior in high school now?"

"Seriously! Shush!"

"You're being louder then I am." Kaien rubbed his head and closed his eyes. "The neighbor girl strikes again. I'm going to have a black eye at work again. Why is she always getting into trouble like this?"

"I think she has this innate ability to attract trouble."

"There she is!"

Kaien twisted his head around to look at the two male high school students standing in front of his driveway. The man's muscles tightened up at seeing the two students and the corner of his mouth twitched. He bent his arms so that he could crack his knuckles in a threatening manner. "So... why are you after her?"

"That girl flashed us and called us a bunch of perverts!"

"It's not our fault she was walking on the wall!"

"She did in fact strike again. Of all the things I needed today..." Kaien took a deep breath. "First question... did she walk past you while walking on the wall or did you walk up and play peeping tom?" He watched the two boys look at each other sheepishly. "Second question... did you two verbally describe what she was wearing?" The two boys began to fidget and Kaien cracked his knuckles again. "I suggest leaving... now."

He watched as the two boys took off and turned to look at the girl in question. She placed a hand on the back of her head while grinning at him. "Thanks for helping me out again Shiba Sensei."

Kaien reached down and grabbed her ear. He pulled her up from the ground. "I don't think you should be thanking me just yet. We're going to go and have a talk... another talk with your parents."

"Ow! They're not even home. They're both at work. And what did I do wrong. As you said, they purposefully snuck a look at my panties and even described them."

"The word is sneaked and I've told you not to be walking along walls wearing a skirt."

"It's not as if my parents care."

"I care when I get flashed and kicked in the face!" Kaien snapped.

"Pervert!"

"It's far from my fault I caught a glimpse of your..." The younger Shiba twin took a deep breath not wanting to mention what he saw. "Look... you can't keep leaping over the wall every single time you get in trouble. And I can't believe that you're parents don't care when many of the times you've come over the wall involves your parents lecturing you about your actions... or your grades."

The girl placed a hand behind her head. "If I hadn't jumped over the wall I wouldn't have found a nice tutor."

Kaien let go of the girls ear. "It isn't as if your grades have actually improved."

"I'm not failing." The girl began to hurry away. Looking over her shoulder before she turned the corner she waved at him. "It's also not my fault you have a black eye! It's your choice not to wear a helmet when you ride your bike!"

Kaien folded his arms across his chest in annoyance. "I've been in more accidents with collisions with you then riding my bike! I've never had an accident on the bike!" No reply came which caused him to let out a deep sigh. "What a nuisance."

"She's definitely a pain in the eye."

"Not funny."

The man swung his leg over his bike and his bag over his shoulder. Taking a deep breath he turned on the bike and started out to the hospital. Something caused him to look up when he arrived at the hospital he saw the white haired Quincy looking at him through the window. He let out a sigh and turned the bike off before heading inside with his hands in his pockets.

When he opened the door to Toshiro's room he found the boy still unconscious. He felt his stomach churn and he swallowed back the bile. He slipped in and sat in the chair. His head tilted as the bag dropped to the ground. "I honestly don't know what to say to him. I want him to get better."

The younger Shiba twin didn't look up when someone opened the door. "About your motorcycle? Should you not be getting a car?"

"Are you worried that I'll be giving him a ride on my bike? You don't think I would make him wear a helmet."

Ryuken cleared his throat. "You're assuming that he'll have the strength to ride the bike with you."

Kaien tilted his head towards the man, a frown creasing his lips. "I don't think you're bringing this up in regards to concerns of needed transportation."

"No. I don't like the idea of a child riding a motorbike." The white haired man folded his arms across his chest. "I'm concerned about that black eye. Did you get into a fight? With Isshin?"

"My neighbors daughter has the habit of jumping over the wall and landing various blows depending on her trajectory. Today as I was leaving to head back to the hospital she kicked me in the face as she jumped over the wall." The younger twin noted the blank look on the man's face. "I don't honestly understand her behavior either."

"Your family has a knack of attracting trouble." Ryuken's words caused Kaien to flinch. The man remained silent for a few minutes as he looked at Kaien. "Urahara says he should have the paperwork for the child finished by Monday."
