Jr. stood in between the upset Soi and Lee, and her own older cousin.
Soi looked about ready to cry. Lee looked a little upset.
Jr. watched her cousin continue to hold her cheek.
She moved closer.
"Does it hurt?"
Yoruichi nodded.
"Ya know…I can talk to Pop. Maybe he can talk the council into letting you come back. Its only been a month and a two weeks."
Yoruichi looked at her with hopeful eyes. "Could you?"
Jr. nodded. "You really didn't do anything wrong."
Yoruichi smiled.
"Soi?" She turned to the pair.
Soi looked up at her.
"I'm going to try and get Yoruichi to come back to Seireitei. But I will only do this if you agree." This was the way it had to be.
Soi stared at Yoruichi for a long time.
She looked back to Jr. and nodded.
Jr. smiled and looked back at her own cousin. "Go get what you need."
Yoruichi disappeared back into the building.
Jr. walked up to Soi and Lee to ask them something but…Kisuke walked out.
"What's going on?"
Yoruichi walked out with a small backpack a moment later.
"Yoruichi?"
"See ya Kisuke."
"Wait a minute! What's this?"
Yoruichi stood beside the small group of girls. "I'm obviously going back."
"Then what was the point of coming here?"
"I was being foolish."
"Why are you going back anyway? What's in it for you?" Kisuke was getting angry.
Yoruichi looked back at Soi, Jr. and Lee. "Some things matter more, ne?"
"What?" Kisuke scoffed.
"Family and friends. You are neither as of today."
Yoruichi turned and followed the group.
"Wait a second!" Kisuke called.
"Bye Kisuke."
The blonde man was left alone.

"I guess we're going back really early." Lee said as she pulled her backpack over her shoulder.
"Guess so." Jr. waited outside the open door.
Soi and Yoruichi were outside. Jr., had done that on purpose. They needed to get over their awkwardness fast.
"Soi…I," The girl shook her head.
Yoruichi frowned and went silent.
Neither knew Lee and Jr. were watching them from the window upstairs.
They were both silent for a few minutes until Soi finally decided to say something important.
"Why? What was the point of leaving Yoruichi?" She looked at the violet haired woman expectantly.
"I…I don't know."
"You don't know? You have a brain in your skull don't you? Did you choose not to use it when you left?"
"I…I don't," Soi cut her off.
"Shut it!" Yoruichi looked at her in shock. This wasn't the Soi she had left that night.
"Stop saying I don't know! Think and say what you feel. I want to know!"
"There was a lot to consider."
"No…there wasn't. You chose Kisuke over us. There's nothing to consider. You took the easy way out."
"Of what?"
"A choice Yoruichi! I've watched you. You always take the easiest road. Not because there's less of a decision."
"What is it then!?"
"Your afraid that if you take the hard road there may be something you fail at. And that's not a choice you want to make." Soi said softly.
Yoruichi just stared at her.
She was right. That was exactly what she had done her whole life.
"I'm sorry."
"….Whatever." Soi shook her head and looked away.
"I think we should go down now." Lee whispered to Jr.
"Good idea."
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"We're back!" Jr. shouted down the hallway to the first division meeting room.
The door slid open to revile Ichi.
"Back so soon?"
"Hi Papa." Lee ran up and hugged the woman.
It had only been a day…but Lee suddenly felt as if she needed to be with her father all the time. Maybe to prove how important family was.
Or it could have been something more. Lee didn't know.
"Its only been one day hon." Ichi actually picked her up.
Ichi was much taller than she was so it was easy.
"Papa!"
"What?" Ichi asked innocently.
Lee felt like an oversized baby balanced on her Papa's hip.
Jr. and Soi laughed at the sight. Yoruichi smiled sadly at them. She remember her uncle doing the same with herself and Jr.
Lee's face lit up in bright red.
Ichi laughed and carried her into the room.
The other three followed.
"What is this Jr.?" Yamamoto asked patiently.
"Yoruichi came back with us. She hasn't done anything wrong Pop."
Lee looked over and saw sullen looking Kise. "Papa what's the matter with Kise?" She whispered.
"Hmm? Oh…it's a marriage arrangement."
"To who?"
"The Tiger clans heir."
"What do you want her to do?" Yamamoto asked.
"I was wondering if you could allow her back in with a simple explanation for her action."
"Hmm…very well. It will have to wait until tomorrow however. We are in a meeting."
Jr. bowed. "Thanks Pop."
Yamamoto nodded.
"Papa put me down!" Lee whispered.
"I don't want to."
"Papa!" She said louder.
"Aw…is my little bee upset?" Ichi teased.
"PAPA!!" Lee screamed.
"Alright, alright." Ichi put her down.
Lee rushed out with a few chuckles following behind her. Her face burning bright.
Her cousin, Lee, and Yoruichi trailing behind.
