"I own this place don't I?" Kisuke replied appearing out of nowhere accompanied by Ururu and Jinta.

"Hey Black." Jinta greeted him using the same nickname Tereya used.

"Oh it's you two." Ahatake said. "Don't you guys EVER get any taller?"

I'll do what I please

Akiko yawned. "With me around, Onii-san's credit can stop building up on those beans."

I'll do what I please

"...what the hell was the point of coming over here?" Tereya's eye twitched as she glared sidelong at her husband. "Akiko told us what we needed before we came over here...."

"No matter how many times I come here, I never get tired of seeing this place." Akiko said grinning as she looked around, There was a rumbling noise and Tessai had come running grasping Akiko's hands and burst into joyful tears, exclaiming "thank you's".

"It's nothing really." Akiko said in rely and followed the rest of everyone towards the whirling Senkaimon.

I'll do what I please

Jūshirō Ukitake, member of the Zero Division, gave an exasperated sigh and looked at his partner Shunsui Kyōraku take another drink from his sake plate. "Do you really have to drink at a time like this?" He asked. "After all, this is a serious situation."

"Oh, relax, pretty boy." Came the man's joking reply. "With the investigation going under way, along with the help of the other Captains, this should be quite easy for us. Plus, Urahara's sending in some help." After taking another drink, he commented thoughtfully. "I've heard they're quite strong."

Jūshirō frowned slightly, out of concern. "Let's hope...." He muttered.

Ahatake and co were running about as fast as they could go.

"We're in luck." Ahatake said. "Apparently since the Soul Society knows were coming we don't have to worry about a Cleaner."

I'll do what I please
