It has been days since she returned to the real world and Soi Fong had not contacted her even once. Is she still mad at me? I did give her an answer didn't I? I think I did, at least an answer of sorts. After a hundred years, that much I owe her. Putting her through all that pain. God alone knows how she manages to cope with it. Argh!!

"Yoruichi-san~ you're pacing again. You'll soon wear the wood out if you keep at this pace. What is wrong?" Kisuke looked at his old friend, concerned.

"Nothing, Kisuke. It's just something silly."

"Ara…but it is important enough to keep you up all night almost every night since you came back. Did something happen in Soul Society?"

"Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies Kisuke. Now stop meddling and find out what is going on with the hollows these past few days. They are not appearing and I'm not getting enough exercise."

"Righto~" though his tone was jovial and as flippant as usual, she knew she was worrying him with the way she is behaving. Yet, she can't help herself. There are a thousand and one things running through her head and nothing she does could clear it. She tried everything. Pacing, hollow killing spree, drinking spree… nothing worked. Drinking – now that is thanks to her innate high tolerance for alcohol and all those years of drinking matches with Kuukaku have resulted in an incredibly high tolerance for alcohol, plus she really cannot keep finishing off Kisuke's liquor (she drank half his shop and was still sober). Hollow killing – there isn't enough to go around. Besides, Ichigo and company keeps beating him to the punch each time a hollow appear. Seems like he too is bored, must be due to the fact that Rukia is in Soul Society to recuperate. Pacing – look what that got her. I really cannot keep doing stuff like that. I know! I will drop by and visit her! Or something like that? No! She will have me killed. More like try her very best to kill me and killing herself in the process. Okay, Yoruichi, shoot down your own ideas won't help very much you know. Right, like you are one to talk. If you're that smart you can come up with one yourself. OH MY GOD. What. Am. I. Doing?! I am arguing with myself! Precisely. Shut up. Argh! Look at what you have done to me Soi Fong…

-Meanwhile-

It has been days since Yoruichi left and Soi Fong could not get anything done since. On the surface it looked as though everything with the petite captain is normal. She kicked Oomadea's ass everyday like she always does. Put on her if-you-so-much-as-piss-me-off-slightly-I'll-kill-you face and walk around Seireitei. Yell at her troops for being incompetent. Do her paperwork. Scream at Oomadea for leaving crumbs all over the place. Kick his ass more. Train. Train. Train. And train. That is just the surface. It is what goes on underneath that no one could see, unless of course they are very close to her and know her very well. Seeing how Yoruichi is the only that has ever manage to get past those huge walls she built around herself, it is safe to say that no one, save for herself, knows if there is something going on in her head. She threw herself into work. It had provided a good distraction before. And when all else fail, she train. Long and hard. But this time around. Everything. EVERYTHING failed. Even training. She can't even perform the simplest of moves and not be reminded of Yoruichi.

Yoruichi-sama… should I visit her? Maybe I could write to her. But what do I say? What if the messenger opens it up and read it? Nah…I don't think they dare to. Besides, there is a way to seal it so that only Yoruichi-sama is able to open it. She taught me that herself. Right! That's it. I shall write her a letter. And what are you going to put in there genius? Oh Yoruichi-sama, it's okay that you have abandon me a hundred years ago, broke my heart into pieces and trampled on it. Please feel free to do so anytime soon? Shut up. Obviously not that. Gah! I don't know what to write. I don't even know how to begin. Forget it. I shall just stick with training. Yoruichi-sama will contact me in time. I shall not go crawling back to her this time. You will and you know it, you little liar. Shut up. Can't you just stay away and leave me alone. I am you and you are me, genius. I'm called your conscience for a reason. You are supposed to listen to me. I'm like wise and you're like not. Shut up. If you're so wise, why don't you tell me what to do with the whole Yoruichi-sama business? …… see, if you have nothing constructive to say, then shut up. OH MY GOD. WHAT. AM. I. DOING?! Arguing and talking to yourself as though you are two different person? Shut up smartass. Argh! Why do you always do this to me Yoruichi-sama, even when you're not around, you still manage to torture me. I want to see you but I don't? Ugh! I don't even make sense to myself now…

With that, Soi Fong flashed off to her personal training grounds to work on her shunko.

AN: Mina-san, I'm back! Gomen ne! I know I've said that this will be out latest end of jan and here we are in the middle of Feb. I couldn't really remember where I left off from my previous story (school is slowly killing me and I'm only a freshman!) and I don't have time to re-read what I wrote. I hope this doesn't contradict the original story. Let me know if it does. Once school term is over, I will have plenty of time to continue writing and re-watching. With regards to the notice on my profile, serveral things have been going on and stuff just kills off all my time. For those who stumbled upon this story, please read the original story simply 'cause I don't have the time and I'm too lazy to write up an entire summary. Okayy. This has got to be the longest AN ever. Anw, I hope you guys like this new chapter of the sequel and feel free to pm me if you have any ideas as to where the story should be headed. And a title! My brain is on strike this days and I can't come up with one.

Cheers.

p.s. The underline italics represents Yoruichi's conscience. It works like the angel and devil. Hope you all won't get confused.
