It was an interesting Saturday, that was for sure. It was the first time Ururu and Kisuke spent time together since Jinta's death. Neither one was sure what to say. Ururu started off the conversation eventfully. "So," she said. Kisuke looked down at her lovingly, "Your first dance," he said with a smile. "Yeah," she said quietly. "I remember when I first found you on my doorstep. Just a tiny baby I could cradle and take care of," he said in memory. "Yes" she said remembering her toddler-hood. "I remember Rebecca helping me get ready for all those dances we went to together," she said. She then laughed, "Yuzu and I loved planning and meeting there, I remember meeting at the ice cream shop every time before. I also remember Karin laughing at us," she said with a smile. "Jinta was always jealous but he never…" she stopped abruptly. "Sorry" she muttered. "It's ok" Kisuke said. "Isshin and Ryuken said it was good to talk about him, it helps one heal," he said trying not to quiver. "I'm glad we have such nice friends, even though Dr. Ishida never admits it," she added with a smile. "Yes" Kisuke said smiling down at her. "Ururu I hate to rush us but we have to be home by three so Rebecca can take you back to school and help you and Yuzu get ready. I also have a B3 meeting" he added looking at his watch. The B3 was the better business bureau for the local businesses and Kisuke was treasurer. He loved it.
In Soul Society, Rukia and Bess had gone through 8 dresses. "Bess dear you will look great no matter what," Rukia said to her daughter. "But mother I have to wear just the right dress this is my first dance after all." She paused for a second to think. "Mother why at nearly 14 am I just now attending my first dance while Ururu and Yuzu are 11 and attending?" she asked. Rukia sighed, "Because your father wasn't ready for you to go, he still isn't ready," she whispered as Renji passed. He then went back to the doorway. "Rukia are you sure we have to let her go?" Renji asked. "Yes Renji it's time, our daughter is growing up so get used to it" she said. "By the way when Orihime comes send her here, I'm helping her get ready too. Did you know Ichigo actually asked her" she said surprised. "Oh by the way mom," Bess said. "I forgot to tell you, Uryu asked Nemu" she said. "Really?" Rukia said excited. Renji just left. He didn't care for the Kuchiki girl gossip.
At Nan's house things went a bit differently. Nan was planning on getting ready the hour before the dance, not that she liked dances. It was just that her and Nat were going to spy on Bess and Dan. She was also planning on spying on her sister Nemu as well. "I'm surprised you're not more excited." Rin said as he came from the lab to clean and to start getting ready. "After all you are a girl and you are 13" he said. "I'm surprised you had the guts to ask Yuzu to go" she teased. Just as he was about to reply Mayuri walked past in his robe. "Dad" Nan asked. "Why did you take a shower?" She asked surprised. He sighed. "I'm going to the dance." He said. "Why?" Nan asked. Rin looked just as interested. Mayuri was never seen out of his uniform and rarely without his hat. "I have a date" he said. "What!" Nan and Rin said together. "With who and why, " Mayuri crossed his arms. "First off as an adult I am perfectly allowed to date. And second I have been lonely since your mother died." He said. "Who are you going with?" Nan asked. "Unohana" he said. "Why?" Nan asked. Just then she heard, "Nan" Nemu whispered, sharply coming in. Nan sighed. She hated when Nemu played perfect sister. "Do you want to help me pick out my dress Nan, I'm going with Uryu" she said excitedly. Nan just walked away. "Come on Rin" she said. Rin just sat down. Mayuri put a hand on his shoulder. "You'll be fine it's not really as scary as working in the lab" He said with a wink.
