Chapter 5

Random Street

"The hell's wrong wit' you?" One punk yells at Ichigo who just kicked down his friend, sending him unconscious. Tsuna hid behind a corner, far enough away from the fight, as she sighs at the predictability of the sight in front of her. The punk continues, "You suddenly kick Yama-chan down then you tell us 'outta the way'?!" Ichigo just stares back, blankly, which pissed off the punk even more, "say something, you little-" the punk demanded about to throw a punch only to be kicked in the face by Ichigo before the latter continuously stomped on the punk's back.

"Whoa, Toshirin's gettin'..." one of the other three mutters in disbelief.

"This is bad!"

"That's so messed up."

"Quit yakkin'!" Ichigo demands as he switches from stomping on the punk's back to his head which ended up cracking the pavement. Ichigo looked up and focused on the remaining trio who flinched at his glare, before pointing to a fallen vase with wilting flowers, "all of you bastards, look at that! Question 1: What the hell is that? You, in the middle," Ichigo orders, pointing to the punk with a hat and goatee. 

"Me?" He stutters before answering, "um, uh, a tribute for the kid who died here recently."

"Absolutely right!" Ichigo responds as he throws a kick upwards at the punk's chin.

"Okay then, why would that bottle have fallen over?"

"Well, we were skateboarding and knocked it over," one of the punks explained, hesitantly, before he and his friend were sent flying.

"You bastards!" Ichigo roars before shaking his fist at them, the flames of hell appearing right behind him, "apologise or I'll make it so people have to lay flowers for you too!"

"We're so sorry!" The group of punks shriek before fleeing like the devil was on their tail.

"With the way you scared them, I doubt they'll ever come here again," Tsuna comments.

"Yeah, that's go-Tsuna?" Ichigo questions, looking around before noticing her still hiding around the corner, he sighs fondly at the familiar sight, "you can come out now."

Tsuna jumps up in shock before running to stand beside him, "Um, I wasn't hiding."

"Of course you weren't," Ichigo smiles ruffling her unruly hair, it was obvious he didn't believe her before turning back to the fallen vase, focusing solely on the figure next to the pole, "those guys won't be bothering you any time soon."

A little girl with brown pigtails materialised out of thin air, "Thank you for chasing them away. Now, I can rest peacefully, Onii-chan."

"No problem," Ichigo replies as Tsuna places the vase back in place while removing the wilting flowers.

"I got you new flowers," Tsuna informs as she places a new set of flowers in the bottle.

"Thank you, Onee-chan," the ghost girl giggles.

"Now that's done with, why don't you hurry on to Heaven?" Ichigo requests as he walks away. Tsuna bows to the ghost before running after her stepbrother.

"Hey, Ichi-nii, you seem more annoyed than usual. Is everything okay?" Tsuna asked, curiously. 

"Fine," Ichigo sighs before turning to look at her, "speaking of fine, are you? That was a pretty nasty hit you had with the football." He was referring to the band-aid that was on the right side of her forehead, he stroked it lightly and she practically melts in his touch.

"It's not that serious," Tsuna assures as she grips her bag as little harder, "plus, it was an accident."

"I'd like to believe if not for the fact that the a**hole, Hebima, was the one who kicked it," Ichigo spits out before placing both hands on her shoulders and assuring, "if he or his goons ever bother you make sure to tell me and I'll be sure to punch them into the afterlife."

Tsuna stares at him for a moment before smiling up at him, the setting sun illuminating her skin and hair a soft orange, "Ichi-nii is so kind."

Seeing how beautiful she looked against the light, Ichigo yanked his hands away from Tsuna's shoulders and turned away from her in embarrassment, his cheeks flushed red as he stumbled with his words, "I'm your brother, it's only natural that I want to help you."

"We're home," Tsuna cheers when she sees the house and skips on ahead.

"Tsuna, wait!" Ichigo warns, his voice full of panic as Tsuna raced to the front door, but it was too late as she was already opening the door.

"You're late, Ichigo!" Isshin bellows as he aims a kick to the face meant for Ichigo only for it to connect with Tsuna who crashes to the ground with stars flying above her head. "Tsuna-chan?!" Isshin yelps when he realises he just attacked his stepdaughter. Again.

"Baka Oyaji!" Ichigo roars as he throws a punch right in Isshin's face. "This is how you greet your son and daughter who went out of their way to help a ghost on the way home?!"

"It's all your fault! Dinner is always at 7 o clock yet you decide to come late! Poor Tsuna is always suffering because of you!" Isshin bellows back right into Ichigo's face before the two break out into a fight.

"Ara, are you two fighting again?" Nana questions as she fills two new bowls with rice which were meant for her, not Tsuna or Ichigo. She sighs at the usual fight before standing up, she holds her slightly protruding stomach as she shuffled closer to stop the fight. It was then she noticed her daughter passed out near the door. "Tsu-chan, you shouldn't be sleeping on the floor, it won't do good for your back," Nana scolded obliviously before yawning. She felt so fatigued.

"Pretty birdie goes 'tweet, tweet'," Tsuna muttered.

'Seriously?' As Ichigo questions the sanity of his stepmother but blames it on the hormonal imbalance, he lets down his guard which allows Isshin to put him in a choke hold until Ichigo throws him off, yelling, "I can't breathe!" Unfortunately, he throws him right on top of Tsuna.

"Oof!" Tsuna soul started to fly out her mouth.

"Nee-san died," Karin states before asking for more rice from Yuzu.

"Nani?! Otou-san killed Nee-san? How horrible!" Yuzu cried, terrifying Isshin.

"No! I didn't mean to!" Isshin denies vehemently before attempting to shake Tsuna awake, "Tsuna-chan! Please wake up for your papa!" He demands unaware of how green Tsuna was turning.

"You're making her worse!" Ichigo roars as he punches his father right in the face making the guy tumble into the wall. Ichigo seethed before calming himself down and looking at Tsuna who was still unconscious, "Tsuna, your limited edition life-size body pillow of Kaneki Ken just arrive in the mail."

"Really?!" Tsuna leapt back to life before darting her head left then right looking for her package then deflates once she realises that Ichigo tricked her.

"Ichi-nii is so amazing, he brought Nee-san back to life," Yuzu marvels, eyes shining in wonder.

"Not really, I just know how this neet works," Ichigo grunted before sensing something behind him. He looks back to see another spirit which he tries to chase away, "what? When did-? I exorcise and exorcise and they keep coming, dammit!"

"It's true, no matter how many we try to help two more spirits always appear," Tsuna supports, tilting her head to the side as she remembered all the times that it happened.

"You're quite lucky Nee-san. You, Karin and Ichi-nii can see them when I can only sense them. It's kinda unfair really," Yuzu pouts adorably, making Tsuna tear up at the cuteness. 

"But I don't really believe in them so..." Karin corrects, shrugging.

"You can see them too, can't you?" Yuzu inquires, worried that Karin lost her gift. 

"Regardless of seeing them or not as long I don't believe then they don't exist," Karin answers indifferent which causes a snowstorm to appear in the room that freezes the spirit.

"You shouldn't say that Karin. You should be happy that you got such a wonderful gift," Nana intervenes lightly hitting her head as punishment.

"You let your guard down!" Isshin battle cries as he kicks Ichigo's legs from under him before grabbing his arm and painfully pulling it behind Ichigo's back. Fortunately, this didn't work and Ichigo threw his father away before both of them punched each other in the face though only Isshin crumpled to the ground.

Ichigo wiped his bloody nose before turning away, "Forget it. I'm going to my room."

"But what about dinner?" Yuzu shouts as he walks upstairs.

"Just put in the fridge for now," Tsuna comforts.

"But then Nana-san will take it, remember she's eating for two now," Karin reminds smirking. 

Nana froze, the tips of her chopsticks on her lips before she starts bawling and threw her face into her crossed arm that laid on the table, "Karin-chan said I'm fat!" 

"No, she didn't Kaa-san," Tsuna comforts patting her mother on the back, sweatdropping.

"You really shouldn't be crying at what I said, you should be mad at Oyaji for driving Ichi-nii away," Karin remarks immediately shifting the blame onto her father, "if he keeps attacking Ichi-nii like that then Ichi-nii might leave the family."

"K-Karin," Tsuna stutters knowing what Karin was doing which did in fact work.

"Your right, Karin-chan!" Nana announces doing a complete 180 on her personality. She points forcefully at Isshin, fire burning in her eyes as she reprimands her husband, "why do you keep attacking Ichigo like that?! Honestly, you are not setting a proper example for the girls! Ichigo already has enough on his plate to deal with!"

"That's true, the number of spirits we see has been increasing. It's getting a bit tiring having to deal with all of them," Tsuna adds.

"Ichi-nii did seem to be getting more tired recently," Yuzu tells him clutching the rice spoon tighter.

"Huh? The girls are understandable but he talks to you, Nana?!" Isshin yelps, baffled and betrayed. 

"Obviously. Who'd talk to a father who's well past his 40's and still communicates like a child?" Karin taunts not looking at Isshin as she was now sitting on her chair backwards. "At least with Nana, it's endearing."

"Oh, Masaki! Everyone has become so cruel to me! What should I do?!" Isshin sobs sliding to the large picture of his previous wife.

"First, take down that picture," Karin demands.

"It is kinda creepy," Yuzu mutters loud enough for her father to hear.

"I must admit having such a large poster is creepy," Tsuna backs up hesitantly.

"Nana-san I know you don't want to be overbearing as a mother or wife but you should definitely yell at him for that poster," Karin suggests.

"Your right," Nana realises before really letting Isshin have it. Tsuna watched the chaotic scene unfold before shaking her head, she was much too exhausted to deal with this right now so she headed upstairs, walking near Ichigo's door until she stopped. She glanced over at his door before knocking and hesitantly calling out, "Ichi-nii? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Tsuna. Just tired," Ichigo replies through the door.

"Okay. Good night," Tsuna replies turning away to carry on when Ichigo's response stopped her.

"Make sure you don't stay up playing those dumb games, you friggin' neet," Ichigo teases.

"Shut up, you stereotypical punk-like delinquent!" Tsuna retorts dismal before kicking the door when she hears Ichigo bark out laughter.

I decided not to do whole episodes for a single chapter in this story. I figured it would be easier to do.

Also, if you haven't figured it out yet Nana is pregnant, 2 months.

If anyone inquires that this is similar to The Bearer of the Sky and Shinigami by Greywing44, I'm trying to divert from her plot. Meaning that I do not plan to plagiarise especially since I have a plagiarism problem of my own. If you do think that it's too similar then leave a message and I'll edit it to be different. 

I am a fan of her story so be sure to leave a comment or like or whatever.
