After awhile, Emily wounded back and peek in to see Ichigo sitting on the ground, sleeping, leaning on his mother as she patted his hair gently while still reading her book. Her hellhound, Flow, was laying next to Ichigo and also asleep. Emily smiled, she had noticed the small smile on Ichigo's face as he rest.
Walking over, she whispered "Hi" as not to disturb the sleeping duo. "How'd it go?"
Masaki sigh happily. "Good. He was so hurt. He was so scared of getting hurt that he distance himself from others." She frown. Her little boy she had remembered was force to grow up so fast because he'd blamed himself for her 'death'.
"So, what now? About Cronus and training him?" Emily ask, swinging her legs.
"One step at a time, Emily. We'll start when he's settled in. Now, hows Zuce?"
"Dads still Dad" Both laugh quietly, unaware of honey eyes look up at them through lashes. Ichigo smiled, closing his eyes and fell asleep again to the sent of roses and ash.
