Zuri looked around her house and saw that her parent’s faces were glued to the TV, good they hadn’t seen her kissing Ichigo.
“Hey guys” Zuri called out with a smile on her face.
Her parents turned to look at her and smiled back, they were glad she was back to her normal self, they wanted her to stay that way for as long as possible, but what they didn’t know that the reason she was happy was because of Ichigo, will they mind? And how long will it last?
Zuri walked upstairs to her and room and onto the roof, she stared up at the stars smiling happily to herself. That’s when she felt a familiar presence; she crawled along the roof and looked down to see that no-one was there, she then stood up and looked around to see that the person she was looking for wasn’t there.
Zuri sighed and crawled back inside her house and had a quick shower, once she finished her shower she walked into her brothers room, ringing out the water in her hair into a towel.
“Zu-Zu” Daichi cried running over to Zuri tackling her legs into a hug, “Pway wid me?”
“Hey, Daichi” Zuri smiled down at the snotty boy,
Daichi grabbed Zuri’s hand and dragged her over to his toys and started playing with her, Zuri chuckled to herself but she played anyway, she owed it to him, she missed his birthday and felt horrible about it.
Daichi yawned; Zuri smiled down at him and picked him up, cradling him in her arms as she sung a lullaby to him. His eyes drew heavy as he listened to his sister sing and then fell asleep. Zuri placed him in his bed and went to be herself.
---The Next Day---
Zuri woke up yawning with a huge smile on her face; she looked in her wardrobe trying to pick out something that would be expectable for meeting someone’s parents. Zuri decided to wear a pair of denim shorts a plaid top with the first 2 buttons undone.
Zuri skipped downstairs kissed both her parents on the cheek and grabbed a piece of toast chewing it.
“Why so happy?” Her father asked.
“No reason” Zuri chirped back “I’m going out with some friends later”
“Which friend?” her father asked annoyed hoping it wasn’t Ichigo.
“Inoue” Zuri lied easily still smiling.
Zuri was about to bring up the subject of her and that she was adopted by them, because her sister was Yachiru, but she decided against it, they were her parents, they may not be blood related by they raised her like she their own. She owed it to them.
The door bell rung, Zuri hopped out of her seat and opened it to see Ichigo.
“I’m off, bye” Zuri called back to her parents quickly leaving the house before they saw Ichigo.
They walked to Ichigo's house in silence, she skipped in front of him singing happily to herself while Ichigo just watched her smiling. They finally made it to Ichigo’s house, he opened the front only to be tackled down by his father. Ichigo easily kicked him away.
“Damn bastard” Ichigo cursed under his breath.
Zuri laughed “I love your dad”
That’s when the rest of Ichigo’s family noticed Zuri, she started to blush, feeling conscious from their gazes.
“Erm, this is Zuri, my girlfriend” Ichigo mumbled.
“Hello” Zuri smiled bowing politely.
“These are my sisters, Karin and Yuzu and you’ve met my dad” Ichigo muttered introducing his family to Zuri.
“Yo” Karin mumbled not interested
“Awh, finally Ichigo has a girlfriend” Yuzu spoke motherly-like, while putting some plates on the table.
“Can I help?” Zuri asked walking over to Yuzu,
Zuri grabbed some cutlery and placed it on the table while Ichigo watched her smiling the whole time. Karin noticed the dazed look on her brother’s face and smiled.
“She makes Ichigo smile” Karin thought
Yuzu finished up the dinner and they all sat down to eat, it was quiet until Isshin spoke.
“So Ichigo, when are you going to propose?” Isshin asked his son.
Ichigo and Zuri both spat out whatever they were eating and stared at Isshin who looked dead serious.
“Isn’t it a bit too early to be thinking about that?” Zuri stated.
“Never too early for love” Isshin mumbled while Yuzu nodded and Karin rolled her eyes, “Better be careful Ichigo, your girlfriend is quite the looker so some guy may come along and sweep her off her feet”
Zuri blushed at Isshin’s comment while Ichigo threw his empty bowl of rice at him, Zuri rolled her eyes and sighed standing up and putting her empty plate in the wash. Ichigo followed what Zuri did then he dragged her up to his room.
