The next couple of weeks went on as usual. There was another big snow storm and the kids all enjoyed
sledding down the hill, along with various sleigh rides around town. The day before mid-winter break
they had a very important lesson. Ichigo declared it one of the most important lessons they would ever
learn.
It was Friday and the kids were only half paying attention to Ikkaku until he said,
"Silent protests are what they did during the Great Depression. There was no violence just protest. A lot
of them happened at factories and the men and women would just sit until they got their fair share of
the pay." Nan's hand shot up in response to this.
"Did it work?" she asked which snapped the others to full attention. "Yes," Ikkaku said surprised that
someone was actually listening. Nan smiled and looked thoughtful for the rest of the day.
That Saturday quite a few of the children went to Hueco Mundo, because of busy parents. Ameil went to
stay with Ukitake for the week to get spoiled. Ichigo, Chad, Yuzu and Ururu all went home. Bess had
decided to go at the last minute when she found out her grandfather's sister was visiting. Bess loved her
grandfather Kuchiki and it was well known that Bess was his girl, but her great aunt Ethel never quite
acknowledged that she was a full Kuchiki.
When they got to Hueco Mundo they all felt relieved. It was nice to relax for a bit, Ikkaku had been
working them hard.
