You yawn and sit up to stretch, it was a long night. You were still sore from injuries even though you were pretty much healed all the way by Orihime. You stayed at Urahara's during the night, being that you stayed up late with Ururu to comfort her with her injuries. She was so scared all night. You don't think that you'll be able to stay the night at Ichigo's for a while. But you're okay with that because Ururu needs this comfort. She's littler than Ichigo.
You walk out of your room sleepy, rubbing your eyes and dragging your feet. Once you seen a clock, you noticed you've slept until noon.
There's Urahara with his routine tea for you and him to share in the morning. He hands you a steaming cup. You sniff it, the heat calming you.
You hear Jinta outside yelling something as usual.
"I'm checking on them." Urahara says heading to the door, you follow behind him you two placing your tea down.
"Come on Ururu! Just once please." Jinta says holding Ururu's hand. He then jumps up and yells, "Yayyy!"
Ururu didn't do the same. She kinda just stood there. It broke your heart.
"Come on now. That should be enough Jinta." Urahara said calmly. Jinta slowly let go of Ururu's hand.
Then suddenly you hear a deep, familiar voice. You look over and it's, Sado.
"Oh hey! Sado what's up?" Urahara says excitedly. Sado suddenly gets down on his knees.
"Train me, Mr. Urahara. Please." He says seriously.
"Oh." Urahara thought about it for a minute.
"Of course-" Urahara goes to say and then is interrupted by Jinta, "Make the freeloader to do it." He grunts.
"That sounds like a great idea to have Renji train with you. His bankai would be perfect for the type of training you need." Urahara says in his excited voice. Sado stood up and bowed.
In this moment, we all were confronted with a worried looking Rukia.
"Hey! Rukia!" Urahara says smiling.
"(Y/N), have you seen Ichigo anywhere?" She says panting.
"W-why? What's wrong?" You ask.
"I'm not sure. He never went home last night."
Your heart sank.
"I saw him last night. He told me I should stay here with Ururu and that he'll be fine. What if he's hurt? What if his hollow-" you were getting so emotional you couldn't even think about that happening.
You fill with fear. The only thing you could think about was how strong he is and how he'd be able to take care of himself. That he promised just last night that he'd always be here and he'd never leave you.
Sado got up from his knees and put his hand on your shoulder.
"He's fine. I know Ichigo well. Sometimes he can be highly independent." He says trying to comfort you. Tears form in your eyes. Where could he be?
Urahara comes up and holds you into his chest.
"Ichigo is tough. He is fine. I promise." He says.
"Thank you" you say calmly, being muffled considering your buried into his chest.
Rukia comes up to you and you break from Urahara's hug and turn around.
"You should come with me. Yuzu is having a hard time with this. I think you would comfort her more than anyone right now."
"Oh, Yuzu. I bet she's torn." You say quietly.
You follow Rukia back to Ichigo's home.

Once you open the door you are greeted by a tight hug by Yuzu. Isshin looking worried for Yuzu and Karin had a bitter sadness to her but held it in well.
"Where could have brother gone? I was hoping he was with you." Yuzu said sniffling.
"He's going to be fine. I promise." You say.
Your heart shattered saying this because you realized what it must have been like for Urahara to tell you the same thing, not really knowing if Ichigo will be fine. You break your hug with Yuzu and say to her, "I promise."
"Thank you." She whispers wiping tears away.
Isshin walks up to you two. "Yuzu, how about to take your mind off things you make some of your famous snacks and then we can all play a game or watch a show of your liking? I need to talk to (Y/N) and Rukia about some adult things."
"Okay dad. That sounds great. Thank you." Yuzu said softly walking slowly toward the kitchen, Karin following.
Isshin signals you and Rukia to another room for guests. You and Rukia sit on the bed.
"I think I know where Ichigo might be. The only problem is it would be hard to find and impossible to approach if we found it."
"Where? With who?" You say quickly.
"The Visored." He says.
"He- he already said he wouldn't join them. That- that he will always be a shinigami. And that's it." You say confused.
"Wait- Isshin you know about this?" Rukia asks surprised.
"I know everything." He said. Rukia lowers her head and scoffs.
"You're really good at acting."
"I've been pretending for longer than you'd like to think."
"Isshin." You say sternly.
"Right. Sorry. I believe he went there to control his inner hollow."
"Do you think they'd actually say yes to that?" Rukia asks.
"I'm not entirely sure. Maybe they will in hopes he'll join them. Or he'll force it out of them." He replies.
"Now we only have to wonder why he wouldn't tell anyone he was leaving." You say.
"Because sometimes Ichigo can be selfish and not think of others feelings until after he decides to do something." Rukia said sassy like. Hearing Rukia say something like that about Ichigo made you angry for a second but you didn't want I cause anything. It has to be something else. You think to yourself. You can feel yourself getting angry at Ichigo but you shake it from your mind. You guys don't know for sure if that is what even happened. He could he anywhere.
After the conversation you all went out to the kitchen and living room with the girls. You helped Yuzu with the remaining snacks. They all looked and smelled delicious.
Yuzu picked out a board game she liked called, Tokaido. All throughout the game there was yelling, laughing and sore losing. It seemed as if everything was fine. Until your mind remembered Ichigo wasn't accompanying. Seeing the empty chair was saddening. But you tried your hardest not to think about it.
