Saturday today in Soul Society:

"Why can't I go to Kise's party Papa?" Soi whined. She wanted to go to her new friends party. She thought it would help them get along better. But seeing as her Papa wouldn't let her there was no way to know that. "Because they live inside Seireitei and we don't." Was the response she got. "That don't make no sense Papa." Soi stated with a blank stare. "Are you makin' 'scuses for me to not go Papa?" Soi asked. "Why would I need to make excuses to my own child?" Her Papas sarcastic voice floated over to the pillow she was sitting on. They were in the living area of the Fong home. A large hole in the high ceiling caused the sunlight to shine down upon them. Turning their hair a soft brown color from the shine of it. The room had the resemblance of a tamed jungle. If there was such a thing.

"I don't know." Came the response. "No." Came the final answer. Soi knew that it was an answer to both questions. "Papa I don't get it." "What?" "Why can't I go?" Silence "That's just the way it is Soi. I'm sorry if doesn't answer your question but its true." Now Ichi seemed a bit depressed. Soi just didn't get it. 'That's jus the way it is?' Confusion was obvious on Soi's face. She just didn't get it. Ichi saw her face. "You'll understand when you get older, I promise." Ichi gave a small explanation. Soi nodded, her head down. "Don't act so down. They'll be here tomorrow any way." Ichi tried to lighten her child's down mood. "Now go get Jack and take a walk around the forest to cool your tiny head of all its little thoughts." Ichi's sarcasm was back. Soi nodded and stood up. "JACK!!" Soi called up to some trees in the right corner of the room.

A screech was heard. A small white-headed Capuchin monkey in a miniature Soi Fong outfit jumped out. It scampered across the floor and jumped up on Soi's shoulder. "Hello Jack." Soi said affectionately . Jack gave a small screech and rubbed his cheek against hers.(mind out of the gutter people, face cheek) Jack then handed her a fresh picked (obviously) wild strawberry. The Fong home grew all kinds of foods and berries. "Thank you, Jack." Another small screech. "Time for a walk Jack." Now a screech of approval. Walking to the entrance of the living area she ran her Papas words back through her head. She stopped suddenly. She turned back around to face her Papa. "Hey! My head is not small. And I don't be havin' "little" thoughts!" She yelled, Jack screeched his agreement. She turned and walked away. Ichi looked surprised for a second then smiled and laughed quietly to herself as she poured herself a cup of sake.

Soi wandered around the Fong forest deep in thought. 'That's jus the way it is.' She thought. 'What does it mean.' Soi stopped and sat on the ground. Jack had long since been off her shoulder. He wandered around the ground around her. "I think I be thinkin' to much about it." Jack gave a sound of approval. Soi looked over at him. He was now by her right side. "What you be thinkin' Jack?" Soi asked quietly. 'I think you think WAY to much.' Came the answer. "Nu-uh." Soi shook her head. Jack nodded his. Smiling for a moment Soi returned to serious. "What do you think Papa meant Jack?" 'About what?" Soi laid back on the grass. "You know…'That's jus the way it is.' " 'She said you would understand when you got older.' Jack said curling himself up by her side. 'she's you parent. You should trust what she says and stop worrying about it.' Soi sighed and closed her eyes, deciding to listen to Jack and relax. A bird flew over-head as Soi and Jack basked in the sunlight for a nap.

\Kise's house/ (after the party)

'Wow…I've had bathies more fun than that.' Kise thought as he sat on his bed. "The only fun thing was gettin' me bunny." He thought out loud. He looked down beside him on his bed. His rabbit was blonde just like him. His bunny was a boy. He had bright blue eyes. 'Darker than the sky.' He thought happily. Tomorrow he would go to Soi's house and he would meet Jack, and they would name his bunny. Earlier, before his party he had asked his Ma if the Fong's were coming. His Ma shook her head saying," They live out side the gates of Seireitei, Kise." As if he was to understand. His Ma sighed and kneeled down to him, "I know you don't get, but that's just the way it is." She had said. Then she got up and went about her business. He just didn't get it. What did that even mean, "That's jus the way it is." He repeated to himself. Kise's felt tired. He couldn't wait till tomorrow. He knew he wanted to find out everything there was to know about Soi. 'We'll be best friends soon.' He thought with a smile. It vanished when he ran his Ma's words back through his head. He just didn't get it.
