Healing His Solitude - Aizen Sousuke Love Story

Chapter 4 - Doctors together

Shiori pov:

I took a long sip of the strawberry milkshake in my hands. I wasn't the type to drink coffee of tea unless in a desperate situation where I had to stay awake with my brain working at full power. So when I was asked if I wanted something to drink, I had asked for anything besides coffee or tea.

I sat on the couch in the living room of Ichigo's house. Everyone had finally settled down so we were all sitting together to talk. I was receiving curious stares from the two girls, Ichigo's father was watching me like I was some kind of alien and Ichigo himself was sitting on a single couch with his eyes closed annoyed.

"So....you're not Ichi nii's girlfriend?" The girl with the black hair asked leaning closer to me. Her eyes were narrow, as if challenging me to lie to her. I couldn't help but chuckle as I shook my head.

"No. I just happened to heal him of some injuries he got. Then he offered for me to drop by." I smiled saying honestly. But the minute the words had left my mouth, Ichigo's father got hysteric.

"Ichigo was injured?!" "Ah, no!!" I blinked when Ichigo himself yelped holding his hands out with wide eyes. I looked at him confused and he shook his head vigorously before answering to the startled stares of his family.

"Ah, n-no....the thing is, I kind of got into a fight with some guys in our neighboring school...." He mumbled out, his brow twitching. I smiled and nodded to him, understanding that his family probably didn't know that he was a shinigami.

"Ichigo! What is the meaning of getting into fights?! You should be a role model to your sisters! I'm disappointed in you!" His father said making me chuckle. I put down my now empty glass of milkshake.

"Its okay....this is the age to be a little rebellious. As long as he doesn't get into too much trouble, its okay to let some stress out." I supported, smiling amused at how Ichigo sunk into his seat relieved. He sighed with a scowl as his father yet again began to nag him about not getting in trouble and not being violent.

I looked at the two girls who were watching their brother and father bickering helplessly. I decided to break the awkwardness and have some introductions. "So, you two are fraternal twins, aren't you? What are your names?"

"Ah!" The one with brown hair perked up, bowing to me as she introduced herself. "My name is Kurosaki Yuzu!" "I'm Karin. But how could you make out that we're twins? Most people cant figure that out and don't believe us even if we tell them." The black haired one narrowed her eyes at me.

"Nothing less expected from a prodigy doctor!" Ichigo was ignored as his father came to my side and grinned. I chuckled shaking my head.

"Thank you, um...." "I'm Isshin. Kurosaki Isshin. And thank you for taking care of my idiot son."

"Oi old man!" Ichigo roared. Man, this family was really funny. Even though they seemed pretty rough on the edges, I could see that they had their own way of expressing love, care and concern to each other. Ichigo for one seemed to have a lot of protectiveness when it came to his sisters. And even though he and his father bickered, they depended and trusted each other in their own way. Isshin san was just a little eccentric but it didn't seem to show any negative impact on the family.

Studying Phychology sure paid off, huh?

"What about your mother? I don't see her." I said with a smile as I looked around the house. I saw a big picture of a really beautiful woman on one of the living room walls and I guessed she was their mother. Yuzu looked a lot like her but Ichigo and Karin looked more like Isshin san. Although, their eyes resembled their mother's too.
