They had just entered the dining room. The soul reapers looked around the enormous hall and spread out. Curiously there were no tables. There were some chairs stacked around the room though.

The Visoreds headed to a corner and talked amongst themselves. All enjoyed the fact that Aizen had gotten his just deserts. Though, Shinji seemed a little sad.

"What's wrong Shinji?" Hiyori asked, "Aizen got what was commin to him. Aren't you happy about that?"

Shinji shrugged sadly.

"You're hoping she's alive aren't you?" Kensei said.

"Who?" Hiyori asked.

"Moria, right?" Lisa asked.

"Who's Moria?" Hiyori asked.

"Yeah," Shinji said and then looked at the group of soul reapers. The remaining Captains were there and he noticed a few familiar faces amongst them. One was headed toward them.

"Hey Shinji," Kyôraku said happily, "Want a drink?"

Shinji shrugged and then asked, "Is Moria alright?"

"She's doing well actually," Kyôraku said, "She got married a month and a half ago."

Shinji looked like he had just swallowed an entire lemon, "She's married?"

"Who is Moria?" Hiyori demanded, "Is she your true first love?"

The Visoreds that knew who Moria was along with Captain Kyôraku gave Hiyori a look of complete disgust.

"That is disgusting," Shinji mumbled and glared at Hiyori, "She's my little sister. The one that you heard hit me with her sandals and then you attempted to copy her. Though you do it wrong, might I add."

"How do I do it wrong?" Hiyori asked.

"You'll see eventually I suppose," Shinji mumbled and then looked up, "Hello Komamura. You're a Captain now I see."

Komamura stopped and said, "Yes I am. How are you doing?"

"Rather good actually," Shinji said and stood up, "Can't wait to see my sis though and meet my brother-in-law."

I sense an ulterior motive here, Komamura thought and then said, "Moria is here actually."

Shinji perked up at this and looked around. He then listened and heard Moria yell, "Yumi, let me go! I'll be fine."

Shinji flash stepped next to Moria and caused Yumichika to jump.

"Hello," Shinji said and then looked at Moria, "Good to see you again sis. How are ya doing?"

"Doing pretty good now that I know the truth," Moria said and then looked distant for a second. She frowned and then said, "I'm married now."

"Kyôraku told me," Shinji said, "Who's the lucky guy?"

"Sajin."

Yumichika backed away as Shinji seemed to radiate energy.

"Really?"

"I'm expecting too."

"WHAT!" Shinji yelled and flash stepped toward Komamura.

Komamura lifted his blade to deflect the strike that came at him from Shinji.

"YOU ARE SO FUCKING DEAD!" Shinji yelled as he continued to attack Komamura.

Kyôraku watched all of this and mumbled, "Things still haven't changed I see."

"What is going on?" Hiyori asked and then a blue haired woman appeared startling her, "Who are you?"

Yumichika appeared just as Hiyori said that so he answered, "I'm Yumichika Ayasegawa."

"Not you! Her!"

"I'm Moria. Shinji's younger sister."

"Well," Kensei said and then asked, "Why is Shinji attacking Komamura?"

"All will be explained in due time," Moria said and then hopped onto one foot. She watched for a moment and then jumped into the air slightly. She flicked and kicked her right foot followed by her left; each sandal she wore went flying. The first one hit Shinji in the head and the second flew past Komamura's nose, millimeters away. Shinji reeled and Komamura started, during which time Moria flash stepped between them.

"Out of the way sis," Shinji said.

"No," Moria said and faced Shinji, "Sajin isn't fighting back if you haven't noticed. He's defending himself but not attacking. Also if you kill my husband," and here she glared at her brother, "I will NEVER let you see your niece or nephew."

Shinji sheathed his zanpaku-tô as did Komamura.

"Sorry sis," Shinji said, "It's just a lot to take in."

"And that somehow makes it okay to attack Sajin?"

Shinji bowed his head knowing that she had a point. He then straightened up and looked toward Komamura, "I ask your forgiveness for attacking you Sajin Komamura."

"Your apology is accepted Shinji Hirako," Komamura said and then noticed the way Moria was acting, "Is something wrong Moria?"

Moria shook her head, "Nothing's wrong. Just a little light headed," she mumbled and then fell backwards.

Komamura caught her and Shinji knelt on her other side.

"You alright Moria," Komamura asked again. He touched her cheek gently to check for a fever.

"I'm fine," Moria said but didn't push his hand away, "I might have over done it a bit though. Let me rest a bit and I'll be fine."

Shinji looked away, "If you over did it, it's my fault."

"You are just doing what over protective big brothers do," Moria mumbled, "Jump to conclusions way too fast."

Shinji sighed and then turned and looked over his shoulder at the presence behind him.

"Hello Shinji Hirako," Unohana said, "If you would please move so that I may check on your sister."

"Y-yes ma'am," Shinji said and stood. He walked a few steps away and then Komamura stood and walked next to him, "What?"

"I've been sent away too," Komamura said with a sheepish look on his face. For Komamura this was hard look to pull off, if you took into consideration his features.

Both watched as Unohana checked over Moria. When she declared her well they both sighed in relief.

One crisis averted.
