After a good fifteen minutes, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, and Halibel were given permission to leave their respective corners and resume playing. By this time, the Legos were being used by Stark, Wonderwice, and Zommari. Halibel decided to instead play with the Hot Wheels cars, which Noitora was still using along with some action figures.

"Hey, you can't play with cars!" Noitora said as Halibel reached for one of the toy cars. "Cars are for boys, and you are a girl!"

Halibel said nothing, but glared at the skinny Espada. For a few seconds, the two were locked in a glaring contest, and Ichimaru feared...

"P-please put that dow-AH!"

Keigo ducked as an antique vase was thrown at his head, shattering against the wall. Ooooh...his sister was going to kill him for that! That was, if these little brats didn't kill him first.

"Little kids?" Tousen repeated. That would explain their sudden drop in reiatsu. It seemed their powers...

Standing before Uryu was a small boy of 5 years old. His chalk-pale skin was a stark contrast to his ebony hair. His green eyes didn't hold the curious sparkle common in most children. Yet, despite his overall appearance of a human child, he had a reiatsu that matched what was at the scene of the accident exactly.

"Eh? A kid?!" Kon said, staring at the child in disbelief. "Look, kid, I don't know what you did bu-ARGH!" He covered his face and stepped back after being punched by the back of Uryu's fist.

Uryu kneeled on the ground so that he was eye level with the boy, hoping to figure out what...
