~Kisuke's P.O.V~

~In the World of the Living, Inside Kisuke's Shop, That Same Night~

I had just closed the shop up for the night, and was about to head to bed when Yoruichi stopped me in the doorway, her arms folded across her chest, as she gave me a worried look. "Are sure you made the right choice about sending Kairi to the Soul Society Kisuke?" She asked me, frowning after she spoke.

I eyed her and gave her a frown as well before I spoke. "I didn't exactly have a choice Yoruichi, now did I? In order to keep my Soul Reaper powers, I had to-," Yoruichi cut me off with a finger to my lips then giving me a glare that could kill me.

Removing her finger from my lips, Yoruichi rolled her eyes before putting both of her hands on her hips then, ran a hand through her purple hair, and letting out a scoff. "Kisuke, I've known you for a long time, and in case you forgot, I can still see when you're telling a lie. If I remember correctly, Tessai and myself were there when Kairi's parents were killed in the line of duty, and I also know that Head Captain Yamamoto ordered you to wipe Kairi's memory of the real truth." She said very quietly to me, the tone in her voice as she spoke to me, was full of anger and also filled with worry. "I may be old Kisuke, but I'm not stupid! You knew this would happen, didn't you?" She asked me.

letting out a sigh, I stared at my old friend with a look of worry and sadness in my eyes. "Yes Yoruichi, I knew this would happen but, like I said earlier I didn't exactly have a choice, even a former captain of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads still has to obey a command by the Head Captain, and if it makes you feel any better, Yama and I have all ready discussed a back-up plan should anything happen to Captain Ukitake, so don't worry about Kairi, she's perfectly safe in the Soul Society, trust me." I said to her, casually and care free.

"Fine Kisuke, I'll hold you to your word, but the only reason I even brought this entire thing up, was because I've heard rumors about a certain captain, a captain we both know." She said to me.

Turning my head, I raised an eyebrow at her. "Hmm, I see, and correct me if I'm wrong Yoruichi, but do you this this certain captain of yours, is also the same person who has sent people after Kairi for the past six months?" I asked her.

Nodding her head "yes" to my question, Yoruichi eyed me before speaking. "I have a reason to believe so Kisuke. Do you really think Captain Jushiro Ukitake can protect Kairi by himself? I mean his-," I cut Yoruichi off with a cold look before speaking to her.

"Yoruichi, why would you ask me such a stupid question in the first place, if I didn't have faith in Captain Ukitake and his abilities, I wouldn't have ever agreed to let Jushiro take Kairi with him to his barracks in the first place! Now if your done asking questions, I'd like to call it a night and go to bed, and if it makes you feel any, I'll go to the Soul Society first thing in the morning, and talk to the Head Captain myself. Good night Yoruichi." Was all I said to her, as I brushed myself past her and headed towards my room, but not before hearing Yoruichi saying that she loved me...
