It's been a year and five months since the Winter War has ended.


Ichigo's group usually took care of the occasional errant Hollows, with barely anything changing in their routine. The most exceptional thing which had happened was perhaps Karin's Reiatsu's tremendous growth, which fortunately didn't reach the same explosion Ichigo had in his teenage years. All in all, as they graduated into their third year, everything's peaceful…

"Onii-chan, Onē-chan! Wake up, its morning!" Yuzu yelled from downstairs, calling the now-taller – albeit just slightly – trio who were sleeping together, like always.

"Five more minutes…" Altria muttered, still groggy, burying her face into Ichigo's chest.

"No can do, Sister. Wake up!" Artoria said, though her twin ignored her.

With a smirk, Ichigo whispered something about 'Yuzu' and 'food' into Altria's ear, which worked wonders, as she got up in the blink of an eye. "Let's get ready! We have to go to school soon!" Altria said with determination, barreling into the bathroom to get ready.

After they're ready, Ichigo and the girls went downstairs to see both Yuzu and Karin in their new school uniforms. "Ta-da!" Yuzu said, twirling to show her new uniform off to them, to which Ichigo blinked in surprise.

"Oh, yeah. Today is when you start middle school, right?"

""It looks good on you, Yuzu,"" Artoria and Altria complemented together, much to her joy.

However, instead of following suit, Ichigo flatly asked, "Can you pass me the soy sauce, Karin?"

- BAM!

The hopeful Yuzu slammed the bottle onto the table, before darkly saying, "Here's your soy sauce!" She angrily turned around towards the counter.

"Ichigo, you really should be nicer to your sister and not ignore her. Compliment her, at least. Girls like that," Artoria said, sweat-dropping.

"I'm not angry! I waited right until the day of the ceremony just to show you two and Onii-chan how I looked in my uniform...and he barely noticed!" Yuzu said, getting some rice out if the microwave. "Not that I care! Just for that, I'm not serving Onii-chan the tasty burnt parts of the rice!"

Ichigo just turned to his food nonchalantly. "Your skirt is unzipped," He pointed out, making Yuzu blush in embarrassment. "See? I was looking."

"You stupid perverted brother!"

Karin then stabs a ghost in his glasses with her chopsticks, drawing their attention.

"Karin, do you know that man?" Ichigo asked, looking worried.

"No," Karin said without a care in the world.

"Yuzu! Look, Yuzu! How's my suit? Does the necktie or the bowtie go better?" Isshin said, showing off the former, full of stars, and the polka-dotted latter one.

"They both look disgusting, just like your monkey suit, so I'd say get a better suit and a striped tie," Altria honestly and cruelly said while eating, crumpling Isshin to the ground, shedding tears.

"S-So cruel!" Isshin yelled.

"They both look fine," Artoria said.

"Doesn't matter." Yuzu said, not really caring.

"Doesn't matter?! Don't say that, Yuzu! Take a good look!" Isshin pleaded, not knowing which to choose.

"They're both fine. Whatever," The girl said, motioning 'go away' with her hand, as Altria chuckled and ruffled her hair.
