"I want my mommy…" a little girl whimpered tears silently sliding down her face as she curled into her rescuer's embrace.

"It's ok little one you'll see her soon…isn't that right my friend?" a man with long white hair said softly his companion nodding as the white haired man gently rubbed soothing circles on the girl's back.

"Right! We'll have you home in no time!" the white haired man's companion said brightly tipping his straw hat back to show a wide smile the little girl giggling a bit and her tears stopping as he lightly tickled her ribs while he wrapped his trademark pink floral kimono around her.

"Let's get you home little one…" a woman with a long dark braid down her front and a kind smile said gently taking the little girl into her arms.

"O-ok…" the little girl sniffled. She rubbed her eyes sleepily burrowing into the warm kimono and the woman's embrace promptly falling asleep in the woman's arms worn out from all she had endured.

"That's good I was sure we were going to have to knock her out with Inemuri for the journey back to the world of the living…" the owner of the kimono stated.

Once they had tucked the little girl in her bed in her new home removing any memories of the traumas she had endured being kidnapped by Aizen's arrancar and her previous life in Karakura town the trio took one last look at the peacefully slumbering child. The white haired man produced a stuffed arctic wolf with glacial blue eyes from somewhere placing it at the child's finger tips so that she would see it watching over her when she woke.

"We should get going we need to return to our respective squads soon it wouldn't do for her to wake and see us if we want her to have a normal life." The white haired man stated quietly fighting back the urge to cough.

"Right…" his companions said in unison turning to leave. As the white haired man walked away from the little girl's new home in Naples, Florida he couldn't resist looking back.

"Rest easy little one…I hope you grow up to be as strong and brave as you appear…" he said.
