History
During the stretch when Ichigo has lost his powers, Kaoru pads barefoot into his mother's office after her shouting wakes him, grumbling that he is hungry despite being told to stay out. Spotting Ichigo there, he demands to know the teenager's business and snaps at him not to get ideas about Ikumi just because of her looks, capping the outburst with a rude raspberry before she hauls him back out of the room. On a later evening he quietly eavesdrops as Ichigo returns to the shop, overhearing his mother scold him for missing work and then plead with the boy to trust her and open up more.
