*~*~*~*

The next morning, Ichigo got up and helped Nel to get ready for the day. He showered while Aizen waited for him in the main living area with Nel bouncing around in her brand new Christmas Kimono, a pretty soft red thing that she adored since it came with a necklace with a holly charm on it. He pulled on a darker red one, still with the holly berries on it, and tucked his hair into a bun held in place with his holly comb.

He smiled and stroked the comb, remembering a time when his mother had worn it every year for the holidays.

Tucking those memories away, he gathered his father and adopted child, heading for the large library where those Arrancar who wanted to come would be there to open the Christmas gifts. Ichigo smiled brightly at finding Starkk and Lilynette already there. He knew that Harribel and her fraccion would be there soon enough, along with Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Szayel and maybe Nnoitra and Tesra.

Setting Nel down with a cup of milk that Yylfordt brought her, he started to shuffle through the gifts while Aizen made tea. The gifts that had been bought for those who wouldn’t come to the opening of the fits had already been delivered to their rooms outside of Nnoitra’s and Tesra’s gifts. Humming and adding the gifts that he had bought to the proper piles, he stood up in front of the rather small tree and smiled, adjusting one of the older ornaments.

One that had found it’s way from the Kuchiki Estate to his mother’s hands when she had been very young and one that Ichigo had brought with him in his bags from where it had hung on his wall.

“Ichigo-chan,” Gin chirped as he walked in with his lover, pile of gifts in his hands, getting a bright smile from the younger male. “I see ya are separating ‘em out,” he drawled, the two handing over their gifts.

“It makes life easier,” Ichigo drawled, placing a small gift tower onto his pile before adding the matching tower from Ulquiorra. He placed two more gift towers on Aizen’s and Nel’s. “Did you two exchange gifts already?” he asked.

“Sure did,” Gin purred, eyes running over Ulquiorra with a soft leer before shifting. “They’re rather private right now and we need ta talk with ya though about something,” he said, Ichigo giving him a curious look. “When ya have time.”

“So sometime after dinner then,” Ichigo hummed as Grimmjow walked in with his own gifts.

Grimmjow eyed the two before snorting and smiling at Ichigo, getting a bright smile as he took the presents to separate out. “These two annoying ya?” he asked.

Ichigo snorted and shook his head. “No, they’re not. So stop worrying about it. Is Nnoitra and Tesra coming?” he asked, knowing that Grimmjow would have seen them on the way to the library.

“They’re comin’. Nnoitra had ta grab something from their rooms,” Grimmjow said, flopping down onto the floor and eyeing the gifts. It wasn’t long after that that Harribel and her girls, and Nnoitra and Tesra all arrived with their gifts. Nel was the first to dive into the gifts, finding all sorts of things to help her become herself again along with some new kimono’s since becoming herself for good would take a long time. She also received several books and coloring books with crayons from the group, making her very happy.

She started to color Rudolf a bright green color while Aizen opened his gifts, most of them consisting of books and records from the 80’s.

Grimmjow opened his gifts next, looking highly amused at the giant catnip mouse that Nel had gotten him, but appreciative of the clay and gift cards to Ichigo’s art supply store. He had discovered a love of working with clay of all kinds and had created some of the ornaments that hung on the tree from what memories he did have.

Nnoitra just cackled at the all inclusive sex toy set from Gin and was surprised by the soft blanket for him from Ichigo. More so since he knew that the giant thing had been a final project for Ichigo’s weaving class that he had been taking during the last semester. The rest were various modern day books and gift cards to a few bookstores for the both of them, new kimonos for them from Aizen.

Harribel and her three fraccion were pleasantly surprised by the well thought out gifts for their new apartment like set of rooms, which included a brand new set of cooking dishes from Aizen and decorative pieces from the rest of the group.

Gin was quite happy to have several new journal sizes for his own writings, having been given a ‘Writing for Dummies’ for his birthday by Ichigo nearly four months before. Since then he had started to write stories based around his life and what he had observed through the years. He already had one book done and was just waiting to buy a laptop to use there to type it up and start the editing process.

Ulquiorra added several new books to his collection and found a note in one that stated that there would be new new shelving coming in after the New Year had been celebrated in the Living World. Smiling, he showed Gin and got a small smile from his lover, the man knowing how much he enjoyed reading. And that his collection of books was starting to take over every available space since they hadn’t had time to get more shelves.

Spotting the note, Tesra shuffled through their trash and found a note stating that they to would get new bookshelves, and some new bedding since one of the laundry girls had noticed that some of theirs was looking thin. The rest of them who had opened their gifts found little notes that told them that more things would be coming to make their rooms better organized or better stocked.

Ichigo went last, finding that everyone had bought huge amounts of gift cards to various stores, including his favorite book and art stores. But along with those, he received a new paint brush set, several new paints, some new canvas’ to help him get through the rest of the year, a couple of new sketch pads and several new, high quality pencils. A particularly lovely gift was a book of all of the history that Grimmjow had been able to discover of their family, including his own memories that he had. He cooed happily at the large thick book that he knew had been worked on for many months while Szayel strolled in and rolled his eyes.

“You missed the gifts,” Aizen drawled, the pink haired arrancar shrugging. “One of the girls who was supposed to be cooking this morning sliced her finger open unfortunately,” he said, shrugging.

“Yylfordt did tell me that he was going to be supervising breakfast. That’s why he took Szayel’s presents to their bedroom,” Ichigo stated, Aizen raising an eyebrow. “You were pouring the tea. You know how you get when you’re making tea.”

Aizen cleared his throat and chuckled, nodding his head. “Right. Is breakfast ready, Szayel?” he asked.

“Of course. The rest of us are just waiting for you to finish here and come so we may begin. Though there was a rather nice apple-cranberry dish that I’m not sure on how got there,” he drawled, eyeing Nnoitra and getting a dark look from the other Espada.

“Wonderful,” Ichigo chirped, shoving the last of the wrapping paper away and placing his pile of things onto a hidden rolling cart, the others following his example when they found ones with their names on it.

“Ichigo, you are seriously scary at how well you plan this shit out,” Grimmjow grunted, getting a beaming smile from the other male as they headed to the dining room. It was nearly packed full with food laden tables and the head table ready for the Espada, Aizen, Gin, Tosen, Ichigo, Nel, and Lilynette. A mix of dishes from all over the world, some set up by Ichigo, and the rest done following the recipes left, made for an appetizing sight.

Ichigo sat down next to his father, Nel perched in a chair seat so that she could see over the top while the others took their seats. Once everyone had drinks and Aizen had nodded, they dug in, Ichigo getting Nel some of her own food before getting his favorite dishes. Breakfast was slow to finish, the group enjoying the delicious food and enjoying the company.

After sending Nel off with Starkk and Lilynette, Ichigo headed into the kitchen once more with Nnoitra, Tesra, and Grimmjow following after him. The four started work on cooking the hams and putting together the rest of the side dishes, including enough stuffing to feed an army, which they were doing.

Sausage and celery was cooked soft in a large pan while the stuffing mix was wet down with broth that had been cooking for nearly twelve hours in giant crock pots. Apple pieces and raisins were soon mixed in along with the sausage and celery. Once the stuffing was mixed together, it was then transferred into baking dishes and put into two of the ovens that weren’t being used.

Three hours later, with the help of the better cooks found amongst the Fraccion ranks, they had the feast ready to lay out for dinner, making Ichigo beam happily as he headed for his room for a quick shower and change. When he came out of the bathroom, he blushed lightly at finding a brand new kimono lying on the bed.

On the sleeves were the normal holly plants, but on the bottom, it looked like snow under a soft twilight sky. The card simply said that it was from Ulquiorra and Gin with the hope of starting a new Christmas tradition of a special kimono. Just for dinner and maybe a night in front of a fireplace with hot cider.

Slipping it on, he pulled on his zori and geta, leaving his room and blushing at the fact that Gin and Ulquiorra were waiting for him. Taking their offered arms, the three headed to the feast, where everyone cheered for him. Blushing slightly, he took a glass of sparkling cider and lifted it.

“Here, today, is the start of our future. We are family, no matter the squables and anger. That comes with being a family. And I am glad that we have each other. On this day, we celebrate what we have and tomorrow, we prepare for what is to come. Because will not stop until the balance has been restored,” he called out, the cheers from those words deafining.

Smiling at the two men next to him before looking to the man who was his father in blood, and felt his heart warm at the proud, loving, and slightly sad look on his face. He knew that no matter what happened, he would stand by his family.

Just as his family would stand by him.
