A Future Present
Kisuke had always had ideas about the future, but he had to admit that he hadn't exactly expected it to look like this. Not that he was complaining about it. Far from it. The future had turned out better than he had ever imagined. Or at least that was Kisuke's opinion of the scene before him.
The gathering at his shop was a reunion of sorts, but mostly it was an excuse for everyone to get together and have some fun. And it was a chance for the children to all get together. There had been something of a population boom since the end of the Winter War. Rangiku had been the first one to have children, but she hadn't been the last. There were currently nine children around the shop.
The oldest four (Rangiku's twins, his daughter, and Shunsui's son) were immersed in some sort of game to the exclusion of everything else around them. Inari and Seiko Ichimaru are a year older than Koneko and Tatsuyoshi, but the four of them have become fast friends anyway. At eleven and twelve, the four not only had their own distinctive personalities but also were showing affinities for certain talents as well like the fact that Koneko shared her mother's shape shifting ability. All four had the ability to become shinigami and mostly would follow that path.
The other children were too young to tell at this point. Miyako Kyoraku was the oldest of the younger children at four, and she was a charming little girl. She had also stolen his hat, and Kisuke hadn't been able to pry it away from her since. Kiyoshi Ukitake was two, and despite this seemed to have formed a firm friendship with Miya. The two girls were shaping up to be a duo comparable to their fathers. They were watching wide eyed as Shinji told them a story about their fathers.
Three infants dozed in various people's arms. Orihime held her six month old son as she chatted with Momo and Tatsuki. Kazuya was the oldest in his generation, though only by two month. Ishida and Orihime's announcement that they were expecting had been quickly followed by a similar announcement from Rukia and Ichigo. The twins, Hisana and Masaki, were currently being held by Yuzu and Byakuya. The younger set of Kurosaki twins had Byakuya wrapped around their little fingers, and Kisuke had no doubt that the man would end up both spoiling the girl and being even more overprotective of them than he had been of Rukia.
Those children were the future, and Kisuke had no doubt that they were going to drive everyone crazy in the process of getting there. Not that he minded. Yoruichi draped herself across his lap, jolting him out of his train of thought.
"If you're thinking about having another one, forget it." His wife kissed his cheek. "I am not going through labor again."
Kisuke just laughed. Yoruichi's opinion on that point was etched into his memory forever.
"I was just thinking about my expectations of the future. I wasn't planning on any of this, but I don't think I'm going to complain."
