Loud noises of dark grooves assaulted her ears and exasperation crept into her veins. Grayfia knew she wouldn't like what she would soon be witness to. Stepping under the threshold of Ichigo's room, her eyes twitched in annoyance at the sight before her.

Ichigo sat in his leather chair at his desk, a sleek black guitar on his leg and an indulgent smirk on his face. The warmth and genuine sincerity in his eyes briefly distracted her from her ire and made her content in knowing that the young man in her care was properly adjusting. She was honestly worried about the youngest of the peerage, as she could tell that he held on to some impressive burdens of his own. Seeing him like this, brought forth the same affection she usually felt every time Millicas exceeded the expectations of his tutors.

However, the moment she turned her eyes to man next to Ichigo, her annoyance renewed itself with incensed vigor. The sight of her husband, her centuries old husband, fooling around on a guitar when he had other more important matters to deal with, was…vexing to say the least.

Then there was the fact that her son was looking up at the childish man with something akin to hero worship. And that guitar…she was positive she threw it out decades ago. Grayfia pinched the bridge of her nose. 'This won't do,' she thought dourly. 'This won't do at all.'

Grayfia held out her hand in the direction of Sirzechs. At the gathering of demonic power, both Ichigo and Sirzechs went on edge and promptly whirled around towards her. Shame neither of them could do anything as a massive chunk of ice smashed into Sirzechs and sent him crashing through the window. Grayfia smirked vindictively as she heard her husband scream girlishly as he fell down four stories.

Now that was music to her ears.

"N-Nee-san…" She schooled her features but she knew her eyes were shining in dark fulfilment. Ichigo swallowed hard in the face of her façade.

Good…give her a few more months and Grayfia would have him suitably educated. Then, once he was a proper gentlemen, she could see about finding the boy a nice girl to set him up with. Leaving a young man of their race to his own devices for long periods of time was only asking for disaster.

"Okaa-sama!"

She turned towards her wayward child who was about to throw himself at her however, a single glance froze him in place. "Millicas," she began coolly. "You skipped your lessons."

instantly, regret formed on her child's face and he cast a downward gaze. "I'm sorry," he mumbled.

"If you wanted to meet with Ichigo-kun," she continued. "You only need have asked. Someone would have accompanied you. After your lessons would have concluded."

She did not enjoy the tears forming in her son's eyes nor did she take comfort in knowing she was the cause of them. However, both Sirzechs and Grayfia had a lot of enemies. For Millicas to go unaccompanied anywhere, it was well beyond the realm of dangerous. At least until he grew into his powers and was properly able defend himself they would have to keep him under constant surveillance.

"Wait a minute," Grayfia turned towards Ichigo as he stood up and set his guitar aside. "I'm partly at fault here, Nee-san. I should have realized that Millicas came here without any permission when he suddenly showed up without anyone with him. If anyone is to blame it's me." His face set with grim determination, Grayfia saw Ichigo in a new light. She fought off a twitch at the corners of her mouth.

'A fine young man indeed.'

"Be that as it may, Ichigo-kun," Grayfia shifted her weight and placed a hand on her hip. "Millicas knows the consequences of travelling alone. It is not safe for him."

Ichigo opened his mouth to protest however, Grayfia cut him off by raising her hand. "However, seeing as how nothing happened and Millicas did immediately find an adult the moment he arrived, I will withhold any punishment."

When her son looked up with a wide smile, all too reminiscent of his father, Grayfia narrowed her eyes and added. "For now."

Her stern warning nevertheless, went widely ignored as her son wrapped his arms around her waist in a tight hug. She let a small smile of exasperated fondness creep onto her lips as she heard his muffled apologies against her uniform.

Allowing herself to indulge fleetingly, Grayfia ran a hand through Millicas hair. Quick enough though, she pried the boy away from her and snapped her fingers. A maid appeared at Ichigo's door and Grayfia said, "Go and eat your lunch Millicas. Afterwards, I will have Enku escort you back to you lessons."

Millicas's expression fell rather swiftly and he shuffled out the door behind the maid, although, not before turning around and bidding farewell. "Good-bye Nii-sama! I had fun! I hope we can talk again!"

Grayfia blinked at the way Millicas addressed Ichigo though, it was hastily replaced with amusement. Ichigo's smile and response of 'Sure' only increased her sense of mirth.

She watched Millicas and the maid until they disappeared down the corridor. She turned back towards Ichigo, her face all business and said, "I apologize if Milicas caused you trouble. He's normally not one to shirk off his studies."

"Children will be children," Ichigo shrugged. "Speaking of which, neither of you told me you had a kid."

"Ah," Grayfia could hear the slight accusation in Ichigo's tone and, truthfully, it felt strange for her to be admonished for a change. "We were so occupied with other things it must have slipped our minds."
