"Izuru-chan!" called the girl as she wrapped herself around the legs of the 3rd squad vice-captain, "Where's daddy?" she demanded.
Kira smiled down at the girl, "The captain is not here right now. Is there something I can help you with?"
The girl pouted, "I want daddy! He promised to play with me! He said if I was good, he would play with me and I have been very good!"
"When are ya ever good?" demanded a silver haired boy, who was dressed as a Shinigami, "Yer the naughtiest girl in all of Seireitei!"
"I am not!" the girl protested, "Izuru-chan tell nii-chan I am not naughty!"
"Of course you are not," Kira readily agreed, "You are the sweetest girl in all of Seireitei."
The girl smiled brightly up at him before raising her arms expectantly, Kira picked her up without hesitation. She immediately cuddled into his chest, "You smell so nice, Izuru-chan!"
The boy made a gagging noise, "Don't let Hinamori-chan hear you or she'll get jealous!"
Kira blushed and was about to protest when the girl interjected, "Stop that! Besides, Izuru-chan doesn't like her! He likes only me! Don't you Izuru-chan?" asked the girl.
Kira felt himself smile, clearly letting Yachiru babysit the girl had been a bad idea, "Of course I do," Kira whispered, laying a chaste kiss on her forehead, "But I like Hinamori-kun too."
"But you like me more, don't you?" demanded the girl.
"As if he's going to say anything but yes to that!" replied the boy, "You are so dumb!"
"Stop it or I'll tell daddy on you!" declared the girl, "And mommy too!"
The boy glared at her, "Now that's not very nice," said Kira as he put a stop to further bickering by starting to walk away with the girl, "Let's go find the Captain, I am sure he's eager to play with you too."
"Yay!" said the girl, cuddling into Kira again, "And Izuru-chan can play with us too! I promise I won't let daddy be mean to you and feed you persimmon."
"Feh! Like that's going ta happen," said the boy as he turned away, "I am going ta go find Captain Hitsugaya, mom made him promise ta practice kendo with me. That should be a lot of fun!"
"We are going to have more fun, aren't we Izuru-chan!" stated the girl.
Kira smiled, he always smiled a lot around his captain's two children, "Of course, we will."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Gin watched the scene unfold before him feeling disgusted with himself. He couldn't understand why he was still having these stupid dreams. He chose his path decades ago and where ever it lead, it didn't lead to a wife and children, or for that matter Izuru remaining his loyal lieutenant. In fact, if anything by the time his path led to his ultimate destination there was a good chance both Rangiku and Kira would be dead. Would the cost of their lives be worth his destination? Would the ends justify the means? Tosen was certain, Gin was only certain he was going to find out once he reached the end. In the meantime, all he could do is hope that at the end of if all, it didn't all turn out to be a very sad story.
