The panicked 15-year-old Shiba twins come running into the squad 4 barracks and right into their aunt Yuzu's office.
"Girls what's wrong!" Yuzu asks looking between the two girls and waiting for an explanation.
"C-Can I whisper it in your ear?" Yoruichi Shiba asks.
Moments later Yuzu takes both girls in her arms and said, "Girls there's nothing wrong with you!"
Walking over to an area Yuzu took 2 Jigokuchō sending one to The Shin'ō Academy letting them know the girls would not be there, the second to Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba letting her know to meet the three of them at their private training ground!
Turning back to the girls Yuzu said, what happened is perfectly normal, it's called a period!"
Isane Kotetsu pokes her head in and sees the pamphlet in Yuzu hand
(My First Period)
"I'm going to take them to the springs!" Yuzu said softly gathering her things.
A Short time later at the underground training area Yuzu, Yoruichi Shiba, and her sister Masaki were soaking when they heard their mothers voice say, "You're not my little girs anymore!"
Twin voices said, "We'll always be your little girls!"
Kissing her girl's heads Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba said, "Your women now!"
"Your mother is right girls!" Yuzu said, "In the human world when a girl has their first period, they are considered a woman!"
"We're celebrating your womanhood!" Their mother said softly, as both girls snuggle unto their mother.
Moments later Ichigo came in asking, "Everything alright, the head of the Academy sent me a butterfly!"
Yuzu looked at her big brother saying, "They had their first monthly visitor, and got scared!"
Taking a breath Icigo looks at his daughters and said, "Girls, I want you to know you can come to me with anything, however I am happy you went to Yuzu for advice!"
Although the girls has their mothers coloring the Twin's started to go pale and stress lines started to form across their foreheads as a knot started to form at the bridge of their nose one Twin looked at the other each recalling the day's events.
Yoruichi Shiba thought, Talk to dad… Masaki thought, About that…. No, no, no, no… hell no
Yuzu shot her brother a look that said (You Knucklehead), then she spoke up saying, "What your dad is trying to say is if you have a problem talk to him!"
"R-i-g-h-t… if I don't have an answer, we will find someone who does" Ihcigo said calmly trying to follow his sisters lead on the matter.
Then it hit Ichigo and he thought, Now they have-to take Sex… Ed!
Yoruichi looked at her mother asking, "Mom, why is dad making that face!"
"No reason baby… daddy just realized he is getting old!" the elder Yoruichi said to her daughter with a light chuckle.
As Ichigo was walking out the girls became quiet and shy, and Yoruichi looked at her daughters and said, "What!"
Turning a mid-shade of crimson and in a quiet voice almost imperceptible the girls asked, "How do we keep them from bouncing around when we fight!"
Yuzi and Yoruichi Shihōin-Shiba looked at one another each with the same thought, A trip to the human world is in order!
10 minutes later Ichigo walked into The 22nd Division in a complete daze, Isshin watched as he walked to his office completely oblivious of his surroundings!
"Suì-Fēng" Isshin said, "Take over… I need to check on our captain!"
"Son" Isshin said walking into the office he asks, "You alright!"
Making a set of air quotes Ichigo said, "The girls had their first monthly visitor… They kinda freaked out!"
Shaking his head Isshin replied, "I remember when that happened to your sisters, I don't know who was more embarrassed me for having to explain it to my daughters or them for having their dad explain it to them!"
"Fortunately, Yoruichi thought to seek out their aunt Yuzu in the 4th!" Ichigo said softly.
"She soften the blow did she!" Isshin asks crossing his arms over his chest remembering having to take her daughter out to get their first bra and him being the only dad in the store.
"Yea she and Yoruichi had the girls at the springs in the training ground!" Ichigo said softly Musing I wish mom could have met them.
That may be possible, Came The Soul King's voice in Ichigo's mind!
"Dad I'm not sure how to go about doing this!" Ichigi said, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Do what!" Isshin replied realizing that a quite Ichigo is never a good thing.
"Arrange Passage to the Royal Palace
Looking at his son Isshin thought, Arange Passage to…
Back at the underground training area, Yoruichi Shiba walks away front the spa and hits a rock so hard she turns it to dust!
"Masaki" Yoruichi asks, "Why is your sister angry"
Remembering how her sister covered for her when they were younger Masaki said, "All I can tell you for sure is having your name and going through the academy is no picnic!"
"Gave your word did you!" Yoruichi commented only to have her daughter nod.
When her mother finally does catch up to her other daughter one hour later, She and her Zanpakuto Spirit are locked in all out combat!
Picking up a worn out Yoruichi Shiba the spirit said, "Living down your name is not easy for her!"
With a look of concern on her face Yoruichi took her daughter.
The Zanpakuto Spirit said, "They expect her to be as good as you were at Kido the same age!"
"You may call me Phantom Queen!"
"And She's not!" Yoruichi asked softly only to have Phantom Queen say, "She struggles… she tries her best but still!"
"Morganne" Yoruichi said, "Thank you!"
"How did you?" The Zanpakuto Spirit asked looking at the women.
"After You first appeared 15 years ago, I started doing some research and that led me to Ireland and Wales…
At the 2nd Division the Jigokuchō from Yoruichi lands on Ayano's finger with a message
2 hours later Ayano Momoka Lieutenant of the 2nd Division walks into Shiba Manor.
"You wanted to see me Lady Shiba!"
"This is an informal visit you may call me Yoruichi"
"What can I help you with Yoruichi?" Ayano said taking a seat. She was not nervous so much as curious.
Yoruichi held up her hand and called to her daughter, "Yoruichi can I see you for a moment!"
Yoruichi Shiba walks out to see her mother and Ayano Momoka talking and her mother said, "After you passed out your Zanpakuto and I had a discussion!"
"Your struggling with Kido!" Her mother commented.
She silently nodded
Ayano realized why she had been summoned thinking; She wants me to tutor her daughter!
Looking at the young women she could not help but feel sympathy for her Yoruichi Shihōin was a Kido prodigy and Ayano knew that as she said, "You know I am the Lieutenant of the 2nd Division, but what most people don't know is I once held another title Grand Kido Chief!"
"What I am about to tell you goes no further than the tree of us" Wordlessly putting up a soundproof barrier Ayano, Told them, "I am the daughter of Joel Goldsmith, and his successor as Grand Kido Chief"
"Y-You're g-going to t-tutor me, your father invented Kido!" Yoruichi Shiba said looking at her and blinking not quite sure she could believe her ears.
"Yes, he did"
"When dad heard whispers of the Unit your father was proposing he sent me to check things out, I chose to stay!"
Looking at the young Shiba, Ayano told her, "After your last class at the Academy meet me at the 2nd division and we can get started!"
"Yoruichi" Ayano said, "Dad is coming back to the 13… He well take over as Captain Commander!"
"Here you are!" Said a man standing 7 feet tall man with whitish blue hair!
"Lady Shiba may I present my father Joel Goldsmith!"
With a deep Bow to Yoruichi, Joel asked, "Why are you hear Ayano!"
"Lady Shiba has asked me to tutor her daughter in Kido father!" Ayano said somberly looking at her father.
Giving Yoruichi Shiba a wink he said, "Come with me child!"
Feeling a bit star struck she follows' Joel outside Yoruichi Shiba stood right beside him as he pointed to the waterfall that fed the koi pond saying, "Notice how the water never stops?"
Yoruichi Shiba nods as Joel tells her, "The energy that makes Kido follows the same constant flow"
"So, it's always right their just below the surface!" Yoruichi Shiba said earnestly not taking her eyes off the mini waterfall.
As they head back inside Joel asks, "Is Ichigo at home Lady Shiba!"
"He should be back soon" Yoruichi said, "It's tryouts for The Division Today!"
Joel's speculative eyebrow shot up at that comment, as Yoruichi said, "In order to be considered you have to have already been a Shinigami for 6 years and successfully completed a minimum of 5 missions!"
"Interesting!" Joel said, "What other things do you look for"
"We look for Intelligence first and foremost, and then there's Trainability, can they meet our standards and adapt to the way we do things. Do they have the Flexibility to adapt to an ongoing conflict! Most importantly can they adapt a losing strategy and come out on top defeating their enemies.
A team like that! Joel thought, they could rival Zero
"The Division has 24 members at the moment it's broken up into 2 teams of 12, those 2 teams can be broken down into 4, 6-man teams"
"I See" Joel said, looking up he asked, "What about command structure"
"Ultimately they report to Ichigo and me!" Yoruichi told him.
Ichigo's disembodied voice said, "The Division was born out of a need to protect my home!"
"When I first invaded Soul Society it shouldn't have worked" Ichigo said joining his wife saying, "I was able to do what I did because the Gotei 13 as good as it was, were waiting for someone to tell them what to do!"
"They couldn't Adapt to the evolving threat!" Ichigo said taking a seat, "The Division doesn't have that problem, they learn to adapt quickly and take charge of a given situation!"
"And we never quit"
"That's where the Intelligence and Adaptability come in!" Joel said, "Is it true each member is cross trained in the others discipline!"
"Yes, that way if a given member of a team goes down!" Ichigo said, only to have Joel say, "The remaining members can complete the mission"
"That's where Flexibility and Adaptability come in!" Joel observed.
"Each 6-man team is organized as follows A Team leader and second in command, one member of the Kido Corps, one member of The Medical Corps, and three Shimigami!
"So, Each Shimigami has a job and they are an expert at what they do! Joel marveled got up to leave as said, "Ichigo you may have just earned your place at the palace!"
"Oh yea" Ichigo said, "We NEVER leave anyone behind"
"Joel!" Ichigo said running after him only to have Joel turn, as Ichigo asks, "How do I arrange passages to the Palice
10 minutes later Ichigo approaches his daughter Yoruichi saying, "Your mother tells me your having problems with Kido… come on"
"You're like me when I was your age!"
"Dad" Yoruichi asked looking at her father.
"When I became first became a Shimigami Like you I fought my nature!"
"Let me explain!" Ichigo said "I was pat Hollow pat Quincy and part Shimigami"
Yoruichi started getting scared as she looked at her father wide eyed with panic quickly showing on her face.
"You're not part hollow, I made sure of that!" Ichigo said, "I had to accept every part of myself!"
Badb appears asking, "Are you afraid of my power!"
Yoruichi said, "Not your power, but of losing myself in battle!"
"You will not" She said quietly, "You can't lose yourself in battle if you do you die!"
One hour later at the 2nd Division Suì-Fēng-Shiba was busy writing 3 letters the first was a letter of recommendation for Ayano Momoka to succeed her as Captain of 2nd Division. The Second was a transfer request for herself to The 22nd Division.
"Ayano!" Suì-Fēng said "I want you to read these before I walk them over to The 1st Division.
"Do you agree with my recommendations!"
"She reads them twice"
"May I ask why the transfer" Ayano asks trying to read her mentor
"The truth is I spend more time their then here!" Suì-Fēng said, "Ichigo Offered me the same position as Yoruichi!"
10 minutes later at 1rst Division Shunsui Kyōraku and Joel Goldsmith are in conference when a knock on the door brought them out of their thoughts
Forgive the interruption Head Captain's even though Shunsui Kyōraku would only hold the position until sunset he was still head captain
"Suì-Fēng" Shunsui Kyōraku asked taking the letters
"Read the top one first" Suì-Fēng said "It will explain the next two"
I Suì-Fēng-Shiba request a transfer to The 22nd Division effective immediately
He Hands in to Joel to read.
Opening the next letter, he reads a letter of appointment

Having passed the letter to Joel, Opening the third letter Shunsui Kyōraku reads a second recommendation
