…3 years later (After the birth of Kari and Karen. Also on Kari Birthday)… (World of the living age. So Kari is 9 years old in Soul Society)...
"WHERE IS THAT BRAT!" shouted an angry Toushiro in his office which the whole of Seireitei could heard him.
"Taichou… relax… She just wondering around Seireitei. Its not like she can get lost or anything…" said the relaxing vice-captain, Hitsugaya Rangiku.
"Have you forgotten, today is Kari 3 years old Birthday ! She cant get hurt or anything! It will make her whole birthday worst!"
"Taichou! Listen…*sit on his desk* Take a deep breath in"
Toushiro did as she said.
" And breath out. Calm yourself down. Its not like she will disappear or anything during her birthday right? We would search for her in her "secret" place. "
The couple had a flashback when Hikari was 1 years old and 2 years old
-Flash Back-
"WHERE IS THAT BRAT!" shouted a nervous Toushiro in his office.
"What is it?" asked Rangiku.
"Kari! She's missing!"
"WHAT! QUICK FIND HER!"
The couple search high and low through out Seireitei and could not find the little Kari anywhere. They spotted Momo, Kira, Rukia and Renji. They hurried to them. Momo said "Today is Kari's birthday right? Where is today princess?"
The couple pause and look at each other. How could they forgot Kari birthday!
"What's today date?" asked Toushiro panicking.
"January 27?" said Renji. He continued "Why?"
"Listen guys, you got to help us. Kari is missing and is somewhere in Seireitei. We think she is angry with us because we forgotten about her birthday!" said Rangiku panicking which seemed like she wanted to tear Toushiro white hair out.
"Okay" said the others and each one of them went to a different area. Karen was with Momo being held at. Since Karen seems to notice Kari Reiatsu (They were raise like sisters and only when they are babies, they could speak to each other in normal tone but when the adult hears them, its just like baby talk)
Karen is currently 9 months old and she could already say her very first word. People wonders why she could do it at a young age. Kari is the same as her.
Karen pulls onto Momo Shinigami cloths and pointed to a nearby forest.
"What is it Honey? Are you telling me to go to the forest there? Is Kari there?" asked Momo
Karen nodded. Momo went into the forest and walk a few times before she saw a lake in the middle. She walk a little bit and she saw little Kari with some wild animals like birds, butterfly, deer and others but what shock Momo was Kari. She was holding onto a baby wolf and its mother is not angry with Kari on holding it. Instead, it seems like the mother wolf likes Kari company.
Momo continue to watch from a distance so that she would not disrupt Kari moments with the animals but she felt something behind. When she turn around, she saw a brown and white shiba inu(a dog) licking her legs. The dog is around 10 years old and its quite big.
Momo was scared and she move away from her postion until the other animals and Kari was able to see her. The animals was about to attack when Kari said "Calm down everyone…She is my cousin/friend. Don't have to get to stiff… Shiro come here"
The Shiba which licks Momo legs pass by her and runs towards Kari causing Kari to fall back due to the oversize dog. It continue to lick her face as it is happy to see her. The other animals gather around Kari and looks as if, they trusted Momo.
Momo said "Kari, you could understand them? The animals I mean"
The animals move away from Kari and help her up. "Yar… This little guy here is called Shiro. Very curious type and he gets along fine with everyone. Sorry he scared you just now. I lost sight of him for a few moment and he was missing…"
"Before I forget, Happy Birthday Kari" said Momo happily.
"Thank you… My parents forgot about it… They are always busy with work and spend less time with me… I mean Otou-san. Oka-san took care of me more than he does… So after I could talk and walk, I somehow able to communicate with the animals. Please don't tell my parents about this ability I had… Promise me alright? Karen knows about it" said Kari showing Momo her pinky.
"I promise ^^" They shake hands with each other pinky.
"Don't you think its about time you should return home? Your parents are very worried about you" asked Momo and after she said that, a loud "HITSUGAYA KARI! WHERE ARE YOU LITTLE ONE!" shouted Toushiro through all Seireitei.
"See?" said Momo.
"Okay okay… I go… see yar later forest animals…" said Kari and with that, all the animal slowly disappear or leave the area.
After they left the forest, a strong and tight hug surrounded Kari and she move forward.
"MY LITTLE KARI!" shouted Rangiku rubbing her cheeks with hers.
"Where did you go?" asked Kari father.
"In the forest?" replied Kari
"For?"
"Playing?"
"PLAYING! IN THE FOREST? WHAT IF YOU WAS KIDNAPPED! NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND YOU!"
"I didn't went too deep…"
"STILL! NO! From today onwards, you are not allowed to enter the forest. Unless some one is with you. You get it in your head?"
"Yes…"
"Kari…" said Toushiro soften his voice. He continued "I'm sorry we forgotten about your birthday… Will you forgive us?"
"Well… Okay :)"
-Kari 2 years old birthday -
"WHERE IS THAT GIRL!" shouted Toushiro worried about his daughter.
"Is she missing again?" asked Rangiku.
"YES!"
"HER BIRTHDAY!" shouted Rangiku this time.
The couple once again search for Kari and Momo was the one who found Kari but this time, Rangiku and Toushiro found out where she is.
-Flashback ends-
________________________________________
The couple walk into the forest but this time, Kari was not at the usual place.
"Where's that girl" thought Toushiro.
The shiba inu, Shiro came and pulls Rangiku long Shinigami clothes. Rangiku band down and said "What is it?"
Shiro pointed towards a cave and seems to tell them to follow him and so they did.
The cave was very dark but the deeper they went, glowing stone crystal stuck to the wall started to bright up. The deeper and deeper they went, more glowing crystal was found. Rangiku wanted to steal one and sell it as it might have high value but she leave it since it is the right thing. Other wise her captain will get angry over her.
Just then, they heard a hollow cried/ scream/ sound followed by a girl scared voice. The couple flash step and saw Kari on a steep platform with a waterfall behind her and she was carrying 3 baby wolf terrified of the hollow. There were couple of hollow ready to eat her and the wolf up.
"Get away!" shouted Kari swinging her Zanpackuto not knowing its name is in one hand. The Zanpackuto was found beside her when she was 8 years old (In soul society age) after 3 days of her birthday (Her other Zanpackuto is not born yet)
The hollow moves closer to her and Kari moves back slowly. Some rocks behind her begins to fall. She look back and saw how high she was from the ground(Around 1km in high. The cave is high and big)
Just then, a flying hollow makes its first moves and push Kari slightly so she would loss her footing and falls into the water but Kari manage to dodge it. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th as well but the 5th was not lucky.
The hollow summon out little frogs and it split out some kind of insert bomb. Instead of attacking her, it attack the ground so it would break and yes, it broke. She falls with the long waterfall and accidentally release the wolfs she was carrying.
Rangiku and Toushiro flash step in in time to catch Kari and the wolfs but only 2 wolf was saved.
The other baby wolf was captured by the hollow and it was taken away from the group. Kari could not fight back as she was not train properly to be a Shinigami.
Kari tried to straggle away from her mother but Rangiku hold her tightly.
"Kari honey, calm down…." Said Rangiku towards her overreacted daughter.
As Kari knows it is useless to do it, she stop straggling and calms down. The couple brought Kari and the wolfs outside the cave and brought them down. The wolfs runs to Kari and jump onto her but Kari gives no emotion.
"Kari… you alright?" asked Toushiro worried. Kari begins walking to the lake and all the animals came out sensing something went wrong. They notice only 2 wolfs was found and so the suspect the hollow took the other wolf away. Toushiro and Rangiku slowly walks to Kari and sit beside her
"I had took care of those wolf ever since they were born because their mother was killed by a hollow as well… and now its another one killed…" said Kari while tears flow out of her eyes. She cried awhile before she felt someone carries her.
"There is nothing to worry about^^ If one goes wrong, you would change it." Said Toushiro carrying her daughter up. "Also, Happy Birthday!" said the couple together.
Kari smile a little and rub the tears away from her face and put on a smile. The animals look at one another and smile at each other. Toushiro carried Kari away and so the animals started to disappear as well.
Kari celebrated her birthday in the 10th Squad barrack. Most of the other Division came and gives her, her present. Before she blow out her candle on her birthday cake, Karen told Kari to make a wish and Kari did.
She close her eyes and think about her wish. After her wish, she opens her eyes and blows the candle out.
"What did you wish for?" asked Toushiro helping Kari cut her cake.
"I wants siblings!" said the happy Kari
Both Rangiku and Toushiro look at each other and they smile at each other.

"I know why you are not feeling well the past feel days" said Unohana towards the couple and Kari.
"Why?" asked Rangiku
"You are pregnant" came the reply.
"You got to be kidding right? Today is April fool… Of cause you are!" said Rangiku laughing away.
"Its true. You are pregnant" said Unohana rising her voice a bit louder.
"WHAT!" shouted Rangiku.
"So, Am I going to have another sibling?" asked Kari with her puppy eyes.
"Yes you are going to have a sibling" reply Toushiro.
"YES!" shouted Kari and she continue "I'm going to become a sister!"
