It was finally Christmas Eve. And we were spending time with my family. The Kurosakis. We are sleeping over in the guest room as well. They said that they had everything planned! Isshin got time off work but as a doctor he could be called in at anytime. But I didn't let that bother me. It was 4:30 pm right now so we had the rest of the night. I got all of the presents from under my tree and put them in a bag so it could go under their tree instead, since were opening them all together tomorrow morning. Shiro went upstairs to get some stuff and came back down with a bag of gifts.

"You bought them presents?"

"Uh, yeah. I mean its the least that I can do after everything they've done for you"

"Well, I guess. They'll be surprised though. They know what you're like, and you're ever nice to me in their eyes"

"Wha-I'm nice!"

"not to most people mister grumpy" I giggled at the nickname I gave him.

"I'm not grumpy!"

"Who's the one pouting and having a tantrum?"

"I'm not having a tantrum. I'm just stating facts"

"Alright. Well, we should get going. I'm always early"

"Too early if you ask me. They want us there by six"

"So? The earlier I get there the more time I can spend there." 

"They live next door. You can leave and be there within ten seconds"

"I know that. I'm not stupid! Now, do you have everything. If not we could always come back."

"I think so"

"Lets go then" He seemed angry that we were so early since he didn't really enjoy Isshin's enthusiasm. But either way we walked in and left our shoes at the door. (It took me ages to get used to that).

"My beautiful daughter is home! Early as always!" He ran up to me and I punched him into the wall. Shiro seemed surprised by this. I forgot he hasn't been here when Isshin 'greeted me' at the door.

"God damn it old man. Will you ever learn?" I walked into the sitting room with Shiro following slowly after checking on Isshin and placed the bags on the floor close to the tree. 

"Why did you hit him?"

"Oh yeah. Family rules between us kids. If dad runs at ya, you punch him. Or at least dodge him"

 "That seems understandable but I don't understand why"

"With me and Ichigo he attacks us. If we don't deflect it we'll get hit instead. It's his way of testing our reflexes"

"I knew he was weird. But this is just insane"

"Well that's Isshin for ya alright. But even if he is crazy it brings the family together. I mean, he always seems to make us smile even during the impossible times. He acts like that to make sure were always happy. And that we forget all of the bad things. I'm guessing he started doing that after their mother died. Either way. He's what keeps the family going. And that's what I admire so much about him." I smiled then looked at Toshiro, he seemed mesmerised by what I said. His eyes were sparkling. And that was something not even I saw often.

"Whats up with you?"

"Wh- Uh. It's nothing. Don't worry about it"

"Okay" I laughed.

"(Y/N)! Will you help me prepare the turkey for tomorrow?!"

"Turkey? That's not traditional?"
