Anatsu watched Grimmjow as he said his goodbyes to the kids at the airport. He was crouched down in front of them both, talking to them with a slight smile on his face.

"Look here Hiro, your the man of the house until I get back Alright? Don't take any shit from anyone, especially your uncles."

"Grimmjow!" Anatsu scolded.

"Make sure you protect your mom and sister, they are tough, but they need a strong man to help them out. Don't let your mom work to hard, and make sure she eats okay?" Grimmjow reminded his son, while giving him a look of expectation.

"Yes Daddy!" Hiro sloppily saluted his dad with a grin.

Grimmjow looked up at Anatsu, silently asking why Hiro did that of all things. Then blaming it on his dad's video chats with the boy. Suddenly, he felt Hiro hug him tight. Then the boy stepped back and held out his fist for his dad to tap with his own.

"You be back right Daddy? And bring cool stuff with you okay!?" Hiro question his father, awaiting his reply calmly.

"That's right squirt, and I will have something for you and your sister when I get back." Grimmjow smirked at his little prince, then he looked to his princess.

She was trying to hide her pout, and he could see the tears pooling in her eyes. It made his chest heavy, to think he had her near tears. He was the reason, her daddy, that she was going to cry. She was a trooper, not wanting to show her tears at all. But he could see the emotion in her eyes, and instantly regretted not being able to comfort her mind until he came home.

"You be good, okay princess? That means listening to your mom, and not arguing with her, she knows what's best for you. Don't pick fights with your little brother, as much fun as you think it is. Pick up your stuff when you get home, but don't pick up your brother's, that's his to clean. Help your brother take care of your mom." Grimmjow held out his fist for Takara, and she returned their shake.

Grimmjow was about to get up, but Takara obviously was content with just their hand shake. She tackled him in a hug, nearly throwing him off balance.

"I love you daddy." Takara whispered in his ear, hugging him a bit tighter.

Grimmjow felt like his emotions were about to take over him. His little girl, had wormed her way past his defenses; faster than her mother did. With those four words she brought down his walls he held up subconsciously around the kids. His chest was know aching at the thought of leaving them.

"I love you too." He whispered so only she could hear.

After another minute Takara let go of her dad, her composure regained. Grimmjow stood up and looked at the mother of his kids, his past and future girl. She walked over to him and gave him a shaky smile.

"If you would have just did it this way the first time, asshole." Anatsu said to him, while hugging him.

She was at a showdown with her emotions. She was willing the tears to not form in her eyes, it was like he was leaving her for good all over again. He told her last night he would call, video chat, and write them when he had free time.
