Lee was laying on her back looking at the night sky.

Jr. was laying beside her.

Kise was at Jr.'s left and Soi was at Lee's right.

Lee had convinced Soi not to train so hard after the first month of Yoruichi's departure.

No body could care less that Kisuke was gone.

Soi trained with Kise and Lee now.

"Its pretty." Kise was saying.

"It looks like a toenail." Jr. said in a bored tone.

Lee laughed at that.

"Jr. shut up."

Jr. turned to her.

"What?" She was confused.

Lee continued to laugh.

"Just shut up."

Kise looked thoughtful now.

"It does."

Lee scoffed and got up.

Soi followed her.

Jr. and Kise sat up.

They looked at each other.

"What?" They asked at the same time.

"Do you know if they're going to pick you for the new captain?"

Soi hummed. "I'll probably decline even if they do."

"How come?"

"Its more trouble than its worth."

"True. Your still going to train right?"

"Mm-hmm. I still want to get stronger."

"To get back at Yoruichi?"

She saw Soi wince out of the corner of her eye.

"Someone needs to punish her for what she's done."

Lee smiled.

"It may as well be her student right?"

"Of course."

They turned off the path.

Morning

Lee walked out of her room.

Kise had left early for some kind of meeting with the captain-commander.

Soi was waiting for her in the open plaza below.

She had stopped wearing the Corpse Core uniform a few weeks back.

She wore Lee's clothes, like Kise did sometimes.

Soi had on a pale yellow shirt with a bee on it, black shorts and ninja sandals.(the ones in Naruto)

She had a backpack in her left hand.

She turned and smiled at her little cousin as she came up to her.

Lee hefted her own bag onto her shoulders.

She wore her favorite black tank top and her only pair of leather pants and black boots. (Edward Elric)

"You ready to go?"

Lee nodded and they headed off to find Jr.

Jr. had convinced her 'Pop' to give Soi, Lee, Kise, and herself a weeks vacation to the real world.

This would be the first time Lee ever went.

"JR.!" Lee called once they arrived.

"Hold on!" She called back.

A minute later Jr. slid the door open.

Her bag was slung over her right shoulder.

She had on an orange shirt with two white stripes at the shoulders and blue jeans with orange and black sneakers.

"Ready to go?" Lee asked.

Jr. nodded. "Let's go get Kise."

Arriving at the first division meeting room Jr. knocked on the door.

It slid open a moment later.

"Papa?" Lee was shocked to see her father standing there.

Ichi grinned and scratched the back of her head.

"Sorry ladies. Kise won't be joining you. Maybe some other time."

"Papa what's goin' on?"

Ichi smiled impishly at her daughter. "Nothin' sweetie. You have everything you need for your trip?"

"Yes Papa." Lee blushed in embarrassment.

"All your clothes?"

"Yes Papa."

"Toothbrush?"

"Yes."

"Shoes?"

"Yes."

Lee's face was flaming now.

Soi and Jr. smiled and laughed quietly.

"Panti,"

"PAPA!"

Ichi laughed warmly and ruffled Lee's hair.

"Just checkin'. Have fun. We'll clue you in on everything when you get back."

Ichi looked back inside as she heard her name called.

She turned back to the trio outside.

"I have to get back to the meeting. Bye girls."

"Bye Ms. Fong." Soi and Jr. called together.

Ichi slid the door shut behind her.

Jr. broke up laughing.

Soi was more polite and covered her mouth with her free hand.

"Pack your panties Lee?" Jr. asked in a sickeningly sweet girly voice.

Lee slapped her arm and stalked off with Soi trailing behind.

Lee looked around again.

"What's this place called again?"

"Karakura Town." Jr. answered.

Soi hummed. "I think it may look prettier in the day."

"Whatever. The hotel is down this street."

"So this place just started to update twelve years ago?" Lee asked.

"Yeah. I think it wanted to stay traditional, but the tide of technology got to them."

Soi snickered, "Tide of technology?"

"Shut it." Jr. warned.

Soi laughed at that but stayed quiet.

"Here we are. Lets check in and explore tomorrow."

The cousins nodded their agreement and followed Jr. inside.

Morning

Soi, Lee, and Jr. walked out of the hotel ready to see the town they were in for vacation.

"Let's go this way first." Soi said looking at the other two.

"Alright let's go."

Jr. shrugged and followed.

Half an hour later Jr. decided to do her own exploring.

Soi and Jr. had gone to get their hair cut.

Walking down a near empty street Jr. noticed a long alley.

She shrugged.

'Why not.'

Walking down the alley she turned the small corner and saw, "Yoruichi."

Said person looked up.

"Jr.? What are you…" She trailed off.

"Vacation." Jr. answered shortly.

Jr. noticed how drained her older cousin looked.

She walked forward slowly.

"So this where your staying? With...uh…what's-his-face?"

Yoruichi nodded.

Jr. stared hard at her cousin.

Yoruichi looked down and shifted uncomfortably under her gaze.

"Your not sleeping."

Yoruichi looked up.

"What?"

Jr. pointed. "Your not sleeping."

"Uh…no…I'm not. I did at first…but," She trailed off again.

"Your guilt obviously got you."

Yoruichi's head dropped. "Yeah. I guess it did."

Jr. sat down beside her.

"How are Soi and Lee?"

"Good. Soi's coming out of her shell bit by bit."

Yoruichi smiled.

"That's good."

"It is."

They sat in silence for a few minutes.

Until voices could be heard down the alley.

"Its them." Jr. said quietly.

"Come on…Jr.'s down here." That was Lee.

"How do you know?" Obviously Soi.

"I can just tell."

Lee walked around the corner but stopped when she saw Yoruichi.

Her arm was still around the corner, clearly holding Soi's arm.

"Maybe we should go back."

"What? Its not Jr.?" Soi asked.

"No its her…its just…she's with somebody right now."

"Who?"

"Nobody." Lee backed up.

"Should we wait for you?"

"Nah…come on. I wanna see Soi's hair cut."

Lee smiled gratefully. She didn't know why though.

"We got some clothes on the way."

Jr. looked interested at that.

"Well let's see! Come on Soi!" She called.

"No! Its embarrassing!" Was the response.

"Come on…we're all friends here!"

Yoruichi was at full attention.

She wanted to see the changes her little bee had taken.

Lee gave a small sharp tug and Soi stepped out a little clumsily.

"Ta-da." Lee held her arms in Soi direction.

Soi had on a black jacket that came to just below her ribs.

She had a yellow shirt on under it and black jeans.

Her boots matched Lee's except the soles of her boot were yellow, not red.

Jr. clapped. "Whoa Soi! Didn't know you had it in you. I love the hair!" (its bleach style)

Jr. stood to examine her closely.

Yoruichi remained seated. Clearly stunned by Soi's new appearance.

"Did the hoops come with it or did you buy 'em?"

Lee shook her head. "The guy just gave them to us. I guess he thought it would be a nice touch."

Soi was staring at the ground blushing madly.

Jr. turned to her cousin.

"Yoruichi what do you think?"

Soi's head snapped up at Yoruichi's name.

Jr. and Lee stepped back as Yoruichi stood.

"I…um…you look great Soi." Stupid!

Soi remained silent. Her eyes had become cold and the blush had long disappeared from her cheeks.

Yoruichi took her chances and walked closer.

"Look Soi…I know I messed up…really bad. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."

She stood a few feet away from Soi now.

Soi nodded slowly.

What happened next was a shock to everyone but Soi.

In one fluid motion, Soi had reached up and slapped Yoruichi across her face as hard as she could.

SMACK!!

Lee and Jr. winced from their places nearby.

Yoruichi touched her bottom lip.

It was bleeding.

She turned and stared at Soi in surprise.

Of all the things she was expecting…that had not been one of them.

Yoruichi lowered her hand from her lips.

"Please Soi…I," she was cut off by another slap across the face.

"Just let me explain." She didn't try and face Soi again.

"You have no right to!" She was right.

"You abandoned us…me…for a man who doesn't even give his brother a second glance!"

Yoruichi looked up. The fact that Kisuke was a jerk had come up again.

Yoruichi reached for Soi's arm. "Soi please…," her hand was smacked away.

"NO! I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses!"

"Please just," she tried again.

"NO! I don't want to hear it! I hate you!" Soi turned and ran to her cousin.

Yoruichi stood frozen in shock and hurt.

'I hate you!' The words ran back and forth through her head.

She hadn't expected those words, or for them to hurt so much.
