A Little Downtime...

         The sun rose dully over a quiet Karakura town, due to the fall season and the melancholy aura that it cast over the earth. Today was the first day back after fall break, and the students of Karakura cursed that sun with every possible word that came to mind. Ichigo however, was already up, along with his friends Chad, Rukia, Uryu, Renji, and Orihime. Due to the upcoming battle with Aizen, they were constantly finding ways to better themselves. Uryu had recently regained his Quincy powers and against the wishes of his father, had joined the soul reapers side once again. The group greeted the morning with mixed emotions, glad that the night’s “doom and gloom” discussion could finally come to a close, but also sad because it not only meant school, but also that another day was closer to Aizen completing his goal.
“Alright, I think we have accomplished enough for now...” Rukia stated, not actually believing herself and, due to the lack of sleep, stumbling on her words. “We need to plan another one of these, but seeing as most of us are falling asleep as is, we should wait until the weekend...”
“Ya, and besides, the royal guard bought some time with that sneak attack on Las Noches, Aizen isn’t gonna get the chance to mount a successful counter attack until the spring... For now, we need a break from all of this.” Renji said exhaustedly. “We can afford one week off...”
“Agreed. So we will meet next week in the Karakura shop cause’ frankly, Ichigo’s room is kind of cramped...” Uryu said.
“And it doesn’t smell so hot either...” Chad stated with his usual disconcerted tone, taking a brief glance at the dirty cloths hamper. Ichigo stood quietly in the corner, too defeated by exhaustion to attempt any snide remark.
And with that, the group set out. It was about 6 o’clock A.M. so they had about 60 minutes to get home, change, sleep, and then go to school. They had been alleviated of the stress of fighting Aizen for another few months. The Royal Guard, composed of previous captains of the Gotei 13, had recently swept through the fortress in Hueco Mundo where Aizen resided, known as Las Noches. They managed to demolish several of the Numeros and cut Aizen’s forces in half, as well as injuring several of the Espada and even dicing up Gin Ichimaru pretty well, thus effectively delaying the progress of Aizen’s assault on the Soul King. However, although the soul reapers were told to expect only a few months delay, when in reality, the Royal Guard had bought the Soul Society well over a year, due to the damage that they had done, as well as the limitations of the Hogyoku. These gave the Soul Society the chance to both train and, even relax a little bit.
Renji, Chad, Uryu, and Orihime strolled along the early morning breath and breathed in the air, sensing slight spiritual pressure, but not suspecting anything as it was only a slight pulse. Trouble loomed ahead for the group as the tear in the sky began to close, blocking the view of the blackened skies of Hueco Mundo of hatred...

         A gentle “Nooooo...” could be heard through out the Kurosaki residence. The morning didn’t start so great for one Karakura Citizen. Karin got out of bed to assess the damage.
“Goddamn it! This is the third night in a row! Why is this happening?!” Karin exclaimed jolting her twin sister Yuzu to consciousness. “Hmm... maybe time to go back to pull-ups for the night...” Karin said as she ran her hand over the small wet patch on the bedspread.
         “Did you... you know...” Her sister said timidly, not wanting to hurt Karin’s feelings. Yuzu herself was an adamant bed wetter, she had to wear full blown diapers every night, as well as a plastic sheet for protection.
         “Ya, it was only a little one though. Don’t worry too much about it, I’ll take care of the sheets and covers when I get home from school today...”
         “Ahh... you don’t need to do that. You know I always take care of the laundry, and I need to wash my... protection... so don’t worry yourself.” Yuzu said as she unbuttoned her night time protection and slipped it in the diaper pail, glad that Rukia wasn’t there to ridicule either of them as she usually did in the mornings. “Besides, the soccer team try-outs are after school today and you don’t wanna miss those!”
         “Alright, thanks sis...” Karin said, submitting to her sisters kind intentions. Normally she wouldn’t but she had two reasons. The soccer try-outs were in fact after school that day and, well, she hated doing laundry.
         Yuzu slipped into her pull-ups for the day, having a “less than exceptional” bladder meant that she would often have a day time accident or two, but she was very careful to not let anyone at school know. Although her dresses were short, she wasn’t stupid. The “protective panties” were ordered from outside of Japan; they had little padding in the back, since Yuzu wasn’t known for “that type” of accident, and had a very cute floral design on the front. She wore panties over them to decrease the sound and thickness, and because she had just entered sixth grade, the boys weren’t too concerned with what may be under her dress, due to a “not so heightened” curiosity of what a girl may have down there. The Primary school in Karakura also didn’t have a uniform, so she was ok hiding the waistband behind a dress. Ok point is, without looking directly up it and doing a good study, like a pervert, you couldn’t even tell something was out of the ordinary.
         “Damn it! Are you ready yet Yuzu?!” Karin stated impatiently. Being the only cook in the house, Yuzu had pressure to make it down stairs and cook for her beloved family, but the routine to get her protection on took time... “You can finish getting your diapers on after breakfast!”
         “Hey, hold your horses! Looking good takes time!” Yuzu yelled down stairs. “And besides... they’re... pull-ups...” Yuzu was, needless to say, extremely sensitive about having to wear them and being chided by her twin sister like she was a child wasn’t her ideal way to start the morning.
         “Whatever... Now come on! I’m hungry!”
         Yuzu finally decided that she was ready to go after about 5 minutes of careful inspection and went down stairs.
         “Sorry about that, you know how careful I have to be...” Yuzu said sheepishly as she poured pancake batter into a hot pan. “Are you excited for school today?”
         “Ya! I love school!” Karin said in a biting sarcastic tone.
         “Fine, don’t be mean... its been three weeks since we have seen our friends and I thought that you may be a little happy about that...” Yuzu said, wary of her sister’s bad side. “ICHIGO!!! BREAKFEST!!!”
“ICHIGO!” Yuzu said running up the stairs to get her big brother. She knocked on his door...
“Hello?” she said as she opened the door, only to make a discovery... The sight she saw was perfect; Rukia and Ichigo hit the deck as soon as they had said their farewells to the others. They fell asleep just close enough for Rukia to subconsciously have had stuck his thumb placed in her mouth. Yuzu walked in and saw her sucking it happily as Ichigo mumbled something in his sleep about “wrong place...” Yuzu didn’t know what to make of what Ichigo was saying (but I hope some of you do) but chuckled to herself at the sight of it and tapped Ichigo on the shoulder to get him to wake up.
“What’s going on?” Ichigo said half asleep. He slowly came too and realized that something felt off. “WHAT THE FUCK!?” Ichigo screamed.
That got Rukia up, and without missing a beat, she delivered a quick push to Ichigo’s head and a slap to the face. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME!” she screamed as she got to her feet. Ichigo was about to retaliate but Yuzu stepped between them and looked at them both with a smile.
“Breakfast is ready!” She said with a giggle as she ran down stairs.

PART 2

         The residents of Karakura town were not the only ones who were going to take advantage of the vacation the Royal Guard gave them. Captains rejoiced as Head-Captain Yamamoto announced that they were going to take shifts, and that the captains and other seated officers of squads 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13 were all dismissed from official duties for a month resting time, as the members of the Royal Guard were now going to take over their usual posts. They would still be posted accordingly, if they were needed, which was unlikely. Royal guard members were the strongest shinigami there were, with spiritual pressure rivaling that of even the head captain himself. An aura of relaxation rested over the once troubled soul society, for they finally had a chance to rest.
         “Little Shiro! What are you going to do with your month off?!” Hinamori exclaimed. She had finally gotten over the Aizen incident and was finally getting back to her old self. Not all was normal however, a story that was told by a crinkle in her steps...
         “Damn it! It’s “Captain Hitsugaya” now! You need to remember that bed wetter mo... Ohh wait that’s right...” he said with a sly grin. “Its baby Momo now isn’t it?” poking Momo’s shoulder playfully.
         “Hey be nice... I can’t help it...” Miss Hinamori had reverted back to a more childish stage since Aizen had left. She had accidents, but not just restricted to nighttime as they were prior to his leaving, she had regressed in the terms of control. She couldn’t stay “clean” to save her life, but she hasn’t been held back. She is still social and tries to help out the Gotei 13 in anyway that she can.
         “If the world was just, I would be older than you...” Toshiro stated matter-of-factly. “Just look at...
         “Ohh leave the poor girl alone.” Rangiku came to poor little Momo’s aide. “You know just as well as I do that she wants to stop and teasing her about it isn’t going to make anything better.” Momo had learned to adore Ms. Matsumoto and this only supplemented those feelings. Although she was a capable fighter, emotionally... well... she was a wreck. Rangiku had come in at just the right time to save her from breaking down into tears in front of the entire Gotei 13, and making a fool out of herself. She began thinking about all the times that she had helped her out...
         “But to answer your question...” Toshiro said, interrupting her thoughts. “I think I’m gonna go to the living world and get some R&R there. Nothing like humans to make you feel more relaxed right?” He said, without implying any tone of superiority. “They always have such cool stuff down there... you learn something new every time you go down there... right Momo?”
         “Umm... Oh, Ya!” Momo exclaimed, being caught off guard by Toshiro’s recent interjection to her thoughts.
         “Don’t think so hard Momo, its that kinda stuff that ends up getting you in such emotional distress that you end up wearing di...” *SMACK* and Toshiro falls.
         “Sorry about him Momo...” Rangiku said apologetically. “He’s just excited that he gets to go on break for a while. I’m sure he won’t be so rude once he calms down a little bit.”
         “Its ok, I’m more than used to it.” Momo said through a half smile. She wasn’t used to it, but she knew that there was no way around it. She was required to help teach classes at the academy, and the students there were relentless. Filling your diaper in front of a class is not the best way to gain their respect, or avoid ridicule. She was getting accustomed to wearing diapers, but she wasn’t a strong emotional person, and teasing her was a great way to provoke tears.
         “Well, you’re more than welcome to join us in the living world. You and Toshiro were best friends when you were kids and I am sure that he wouldn’t mind having a little company at the park.” Rangiku said with a smile.
         “Damn it! I only tried out the swings because they looked fun... You don’t have to hold this over my head for the rest of my life!” Toshiro exclaimed with a blush. It’s true, he was only 13 mentally, a curse of living in the soul society meant being stuck with what you have got, for a very long time. “But it’s ok if you want too come stay with us. Just don’t ask me if you need a change” *SMACK* and he was down again.
         “Don’t worry about him, if you need a change while we’re there, you can always come to me!” Rangiku said, not realizing how much she had embarrassed herself and Momo in front of the ranking members of the Gotei 13. Momo however did, and her visage became first flushed, then a red rivaling that of blood itself. Yachiru saw this and came to her aide... in the only way she knew how.
         “Don’t worry diaper buddy! I have been changed by Miss Rangiku on more than one occasion and she’s really gentle! She’s way better than Kenny at changing diapers! (At this point in her speech, a boorish “Shut up” can be heard from one of the captains standing in line) Ohh its ok, don’t worry about it Kenny, your getting better... Ohh and all the rest of you, you can’t judge us just because we wear diapers! It’s something that we need and besides, better safe then sorry! So you don’t worry DB Momo! If anyone of these guys gives you trouble, they will have to answer to me and Kenny!” she said, finishing with such confidence that even Renji Abarai was lost at what to say next. “Hey Kenny, what’s wrong with your face? It kinda looks like DB’s... (Diaper buddy’s or Momo’s nickname for short) hmm oh well... Let’s go find ICHI!
         “Now you’re talking!” Kenpachi exclaimed, regaining his composure and taking his lieutenant on his shoulder before running out the door. “Now which way is it?” “LEFT!”
         “Probably won’t see either of those two for quite a while...” Renji stated, finally thinking of something to say in response to the outbreak.
         “Ohh come on...” Shuhei Hisagi said quietly. “Their sense of direction can’t be that bad...” but he was proven wrong as Kenpachi ran back into the conference room following Yachiru’s direction to “TURN LEFT!”
         “Uhhh...” is the only that the imposing Captain had to say before his lieutenant chided him for not following directions correctly.
         “Fine, but this way try not to run us in a circle...” was his response before turning and exiting.
         “Idiots...” was the only word the Byakuya Kuchiki said before hastily exiting the conference room. Leaving the Soul Society is just what he needed, he needed some alone time to mull over the past few months. He may even pay a visit to his sister, for he did often long to get to know her. He would never let anyone know this of course, but never the less.
         “Alright that is quiet enough!” Head-Captain Yamamoto exclaimed and the entire room fell silent. “Need I remind you that this is still a Captains meeting!? Save your little gossip sessions for later, now here is the last of your news. Due to the recent attacks by arrancar, lieutenants and captains no longer need authorization to “un-bar” their power. Your power will still be sealed in order to prevent damage to humans, but you are aloud to remove the seal whenever you see fit! Now, you can go ahead and do whatever young people do these days. I don’t care.” And with that, he exited the conference hall.
         The remaining captains and lieutenants left as well, knowing better than to make any snide remark and embarrass themselves. Momo got up, her face returning to its original tone and proceeded to exit before being stopped. It was the captain of the fourth division, Retsu Unohana.
         “Now you remember what I said as far as treatment goes right Miss Hinamori? Change often; use a pacifier at night to prevent anything foreign from entering your mouth. You are still an injured girl, and you need rest. Remember to take naps often, and don’t over exert yourself. It wasn’t long ago that you were in a coma...” She said. Being the captain of the medical division, she knew what she was talking about. “You need a change, come with me Miss Hinamori...”
         “But ma’am, I am more than capable of doing it myself...” Momo said hesitantly. She was very shy when it came to changes, even around someone as qualified as Captain Unohana. Even though she was her primary caretaker during her stay in the hospital, she still felt very shy around her, partially due to the fact that she was a captain.
         “Momo, come with me...” Captain Unohana said, and that was that. You can’t challenge someone who is not only ages older than you, but is also a doctor and a captain. Momo knew that she couldn’t get out of it; the warm padding against her body reminded her of that.
         “See you later Momo!” Rangiku said. “We’ll be in Karakura town waiting for you to join us!” was the last thing she said before she left with her captain
         They began to walk when Momo felt an “o too familiar” sensation as she got hit by a cramp. It was hopeless, the back of her diaper stretched and her pace slowed. Tears came to her eyes and the captain looked back.
         “Don’t worry about it hunny... you will be able to join them soon.”

Part 3

         *Back in the Kurosaki household*
         “Alright, we should probably get going. No use being late to our first day back in school, right?” Ichigo said as he finished his breakfast.
         “Wait! I’m not done eating yet!” Rukia said, groggily said, still tired from last nights little “get together” as Orihime had called it. She felt like they hadn’t gotten a thing done. She couldn’t get the shaking feeling that even though the Guard had dealt Aizen and his forces a heavy blow, that they weren’t actually gonna get any time off...
         “You can finish it in the car!”
         “We walk to school you moron!” and they were off, as Ichigo pulled Rukia out of the living room while still sitting in her chair.
         “We should probably get a jump on it too sis... Class starts at 8:00 for us but dad can’t drive us today.” Karin said.
         “Hmm... I should probably change really quick...” Yuzu said shyly. “Forgot to go this morning... and well...”
         “Its fine I get it, just hurry it up. We can’t be late to our first day back! I doubt Mr. Hasano has changed his ‘one day late is two days detention’ policy.”
         “Alright!” Yuzu said running back up the stairs. “I’ll only be a minute!”
         “Ya that’s what she said when she was getting ready before breakfast. Probably gonna have to wait another 2 hours for her to get her ass down here...” Karin mumbled to herself.
         “What?”
         “Nothing!”
         “Alright, I think I’m good to go!” Yuzu said jumping down the stairs two at a time. “Do you need anything else before we go? I packed your lunch just incase the school doesn’t have anything good, and an extra pair of Gym shorts just incase yours get lost or don’t fit right any more.”
         “Uhh thanks...” Was all Karin could say, before her sister was pulling her out the door.
         “Don’t mention it! It’s what I’m here for...”
         And the two sisters were eventually off. It had always been like this. Even though Yuzu had several childish tendencies, like playing with dolls, having a very low emotional and physical pain tolerance, and not to mention the diapers, she was also extremely matriarchal. The past two years she had done everything for the Kurosaki family that their mother, Masaki, would have done. Karin had a very strange relationship with her sister. Although Yuzu took care of all the things that a mother would do around the house, Karin often had to look out for her.
         “Karin! Hurry up!” Yuzu said, snapping Karin out of her trance. “We’re gonna be late!”


*Karakura High School*
         “ICHIGO!”
         “Hey Keigo, did you have a good break?” Ichigo said delivering a quick punch, in order to calm his hyperactive friend down.
         “Ya! We went to America! It was awesome! So many girls, so many girls just like Orihime *nudge* *nudge*! I have never seen so many hotties in one place!” Keigo exclaimed blissfully unaware of the fact that he had upset his female colleagues. “Man, girls around here are so stiff compared to them! They walked around with skirts so small you could almost see the treasure hidden in...”
         *Bam* and a swift quick to the groin from Rukia was enough to shut up the perverted young man. Keigo was probably one of Ichigo’s best friends, and had been for a very long. Keigo was great comic relief that Ichigo didn’t even realize he needed. Most of Ichigo’s friends were just as he was, completely depressing, always concerned, and completely down to earth. Granted, he was a little ridiculous at times, but he gave the crew what they needed.
         “Well I hope you’re ready to write a report about ‘Cup sizes in a America’ cause I seriously doubt that you did the book report...” Ichigo said, standing pompously over his friend. “I can’t wait to hear that one.”
         “Uhh... Well homework is for suckers anyway! Women don’t pay attention to grades!” Were the last words that got said before Ms. Ochi called the class to attention.
         “Good morning class! I hope we’re all...”
         ‘Why can’t I get this out of my head...’ Rukia thought to herself. ‘Half of the Gotei 13 was put on leave, so why can’t I shake the feeling that something I about to go very, very wrong... It’s only been a few weeks since those arrancar attacked, and Aizen is in no place to mount another assault... but something is still very wrong...’
         *Bing*. The bell indicated that first period was over. Rukia of course, didn’t take that long to think those 4 or 5 thoughts, but continued far past what I was able to put on paper. The small group walked to their next class. Gym.
         “Did you guys feel that?” Rukia said to her friends.
         “Rukia!” Orihime said, grabbing her shoulders. “You need to relax. They have soul reapers positioned to take care of hollows, so you can have a little break! Try to have a little fun!”
         “Huh... Maybe your right... I could have sworn I felt a really strong spiritual pressure just before...”
         “BOO!” A voice screamed at Rukia as she opened her gym locker. She fell back as Renji lunged at her in his ridiculous gigai. He was about to hug her when he heard a strange sound.
         “Did someone leave a faucet running?” a girl said in the background before it became painfully obvious.
         “RUKIA! What the Hell are you doing?!” Renji screamed at her, but she couldn’t even move. She didn’t even realize what she was happening; she just stared dumbly at Renji, paralyzed with fear. “God! It’s only me!” Renji said with a grin.
         “She’s been under a lot of stress lately, lets just get you out of the WOMEN’S restroom, k?” Orihime said as she pushed Renji out the door. “Don’t worry Rukia, its not like you weren’t about to change clothes anyways right?”
         “I’m gonna murder Renji...” Rukia said, regaining the control over her body, but not the blush that was now turning her face the deepest color of red one could visualize.
         “This is just a sign that you need to relax. If Renji, one of your best friends, can frighten you that badly... well, it’s not a good sign...” Orihime said, trying to both preserve Rukia’s dignity while giving her a lecture, which wasn’t going too well.
         “Whatever, its fine. I just can’t shake this feeling that something is about to go very wrong... its probably the gigai anyways...” Rukia said, finishing the transformation to “Gym Clothes”. Orihime finished cleaning up her little “accident”, and the proceeded to the field.

Part 4

         *Karakura High School Track*
         “Who the Hell is that?!”
         “What’s he wearing?”
         “Who’s that little girl with him?”
         “ICHI! WHERE ARE YOU!?”
         Ichigo had just gotten out of the locker room when he heard the commotion. He turned a corner and saw the problem...
         “Ohh god...” was his only remark as he gazed upon the imposing stature of Kenpachi Zaraki, standing in the middle of the field looking for, who else, Ichigo Kurosaki. It may not have been obvious, but the captain’s gigai was a perfect replica of his spiritual form. Exactly, down to the bells on his hair and the torn division 11 captains robe.
         “KENNY! HE’S THERE!!!” He heard Yachiru yell. ‘Damn it... maybe I can talk it out with him.’ Ichigo thought as he turned to face the captain. He turned right into him, running into the towering creature that was Kenpachi Zaraki. Standing 9 inches taller, and hair towering over 1 foot taller than that, he was intimidating. The little pink haired girl on his shoulder however, did help to reduce the terror that he instilled in the hearts of men and women.
         “Hey can we...” *BAM!* and Ichigo hit the deck, completely unconscious.
         “How did I ever lose to that...? I didn’t even hit him that hard!” Kenpachi exclaimed, sounding a tad disappointed that he didn’t get a better fight from his rival.
         “Well that’s easy Kenny... You’re much stronger now!” Yachiru said with a smile. “Besides I don’t think that...oooooo.”
         “You don’t think that what?” Kenpachi said as he felt Yachiru dismount him. He saw her running towards the jungle gym that was across the street. “Wait! Where do you think your going?!”
         Yachiru crossed the busy street and hoped the fence with ease. Kenpachi was about to give chase, when suddenly “FREEZE DIRT BAG!” could be heard as 4 officers ran onto the field, guns drawn. A large officer grabbed him from behind and threw him to the ground, which was actually possible due to his gigai form. Before Kenpachi even knew what was going on he was being lead away, to the police car. Yachiru was too upset with the colorful playground to even notice her Captain/Father-figure being led away.
         The field erupted in cheers as the police drove away with the now criminal Kenpachi Zaraki. Ichigo was being lifted in an ambulance, with a now shattered left side of his face. He was completely unconscious as the paramedics got consent from the school and drove him to the hospital.
         “See...” Orihime said to Rukia. “That presence you felt was probably just captain Zaraki. Maybe even when Renji came into the living world you felt that too. Don’t worry about it! You are under a lot of stress but I’m sure that you will be just fine.”
         “Ya I guess...”
         “Hello ladies.” Orihime and Rukia wheeled around to see Uryu and Chad standing behind them. “Are you alright Rukia? We heard what happened...”
         “Ya I’m fine, it’s probably just the gigai...” Rukia said as she looked away to hide the obvious blush on her face. “I’m just a little tense... it seems like something is gonna happen... but since Captain Zaraki is here, I feel a little better. He’s on vacation, but if we need him he’s here to help us.”
         “Ya, hopefully you can relax a little... It’s been a hard couple of weeks with the arrancar assault, and before that with the bounts and the execution. Don’t worry about it, we have some time off.” Uryu said, not realizing that he had pretty much just repeated everything that Orihime had said not 15 minutes earlier. “Besides, the fair is coming to town, and we could all use some relaxing fair rides to take the edge off.”
         “Do you know where Renji went off too?” Rukia asked.
         “Ohh I think he said he was gonna go talk to Urahara or something. You’ll probably find him at the shop.”
         “Thanks, I’ll make sure to pay him a ‘visit’ after school.” Rukia said, with an evil smirk. “That jackass will get exactly what’s coming to him.”
“KENNY?!? KENNY WHERE ARE YOU!??” Yachiru cried, worried that she lost her captain, or that if she was needed, she couldn’t help him. “KENNY?! WHERE DID YOU GO!?”
         “Ahh... What’s the matter little girl?” A soothing tone said from behind.
         “I LOST KENNY!” Yachiru screamed as she turned around to address the voice.
         “Ohhh... well maybe I can help you find him...” Yuzu said as she helped Yachiru off the swing set. “What does he look like?”
         “He’s big and tall, and has pointy hair, and a white coat. He also has a scar on the left side of his face and he wears an eye patch!” Yachiru said, climbing onto Yuzu’s shoulders. “I really need to find him incase he needs me!”
         “Uhh ok then... Let’s see... Do you remember where you saw him last?” Yuzu said.
         “He was over there!” Yachiru said pointing to the high school track. “I came over here and I thought he was right behind me.”
         “Hmmm... well lets go see if he is still over there then huh?” Yuzu said but before she was able to walk over she was interrupted again.
         “Yuzu! Wait up!” She turned to see Karin running to catch up to her. “I think I know where her dad is”
         “He’s not my daddy...”
         “Whatever... earlier, I was watching the high school kids through the window, and I saw someone who looks just like she described being arrested.” Karin said, halfway out of breath. “I think she might have been with him when he punched Ichigo out.”
         “Wait! Ichigo is hurt!?”
         “Ya, they took him to the hospital. We’ll have him transferred to the clinic after school. But regardless, I think her ‘Kenny’ is in the slammer right now...” Karin finished.
         “Hmm... do you know how I could get to him?” Yachiru said, slightly concerned that she may not see him again. “I need to find him now...”
         “Hey don’t worry; we can take you there at lunch. For now, we’ll have you put in day care until then. Don’t worry little girl.” Yuzu said, lifting Yachiru over her head and placing her on the ground, but first noticing something... interesting. “But first, let’s get to the nurses office. Looks like we could both use a change.” She said with a smile.
         “Hmm... I guess your right.” Yachiru said, pulling her dress down. She wasn’t dressed to hide the fact that she was diapered, but she couldn’t care less. The dress she had on was the most perfect thing in the entire world to her. Bright pink with a very puffy skirt that made the dress almost “bell” like. It was also extremely frilly, much to her liking. She had to pester Kenpachi for fifteen minutes to go in and buy the dress for her, because her normal gigai outfit wasn’t cute enough. This meant that they couldn’t afford to rent a hotel, but they would cross that gap when they came to it.
         “Alright Karin, we’ll meet you at lunch!” Yuzu said leading Yachiru inside the primary school building.
         “Have fun!” Karin said sarcastically before running back over to continue her soccer game.

Part 5

         After school, the sisters met up and picked little Yachiru up from the schools built in day care program. The walk to the jail was fairly long, but this little girl needed to find “Kenny” and Yuzu would not such a small child walking around without someone to protect her. So the trio began to walk, Yuzu carrying Yachiru on her shoulders as she had done before. The group walked peacefully for a while before Yachiru became restless.
         “How much longer?” She asked tying parts of Yuzu’s hair into knots. “I have been waiting a really long time... OHH!! Rangiku!!!!” She exclaimed before leaping off the shoulders of her host.
         “Ohh hello Yachiru, where is Captain Zaraki?” Rangiku said, surprised by not only seeing Yachiru but also by seeing her without Captain Zaraki in plain sight.
         “Ohh... Kenny’s in jail.” Yachiru said, pointing in the general direction of the jail, and ending up pointing the completely wrong direction. “We are gonna go break him out.”
         “Hey I never said we were gonna break him out... I just said that we would take him to you...” Yuzu said, surprised that Yachiru had found a relative, or companion, so quickly after they had left the school grounds. “And who is this woman?”
         “I’m Rangiku Matsumoto, I help to take care of little Yachiru here. I’ll take her off your hands if you don’t mind” Rangiku said, unable to think of any better story except from the truth. “I know where the jail is and I will help her get to Captain Zaraki.”
         “Why are you calling him captain? I thought his name was Kenny...” Karin said, becoming suspicious of what may be going on.
         “Ohh well uhhh...” Rangiku was caught of guard and had to think of something off the top of her head again, but the shots of sake she had taken before hand made her thought process even less efficient than that of Orihime when put on the spot. “Well he is the president of our fan-club and he insists that we call him Captain Zaraki. His real name is Kenpachi but we nick named him Kenny to get on his nerves.”
         “Uh-huh, and which fan-club is that?” Karin said doubtingly.
         “Ummm... That one!” Rangiku said pointing to a bill-board.
         “Ok so the president of the Spongebob Squarepants fan club is now sitting in jail, for punching out my 15 year old brother...”
         “Yup that’s right! Sounds just like him right Yachiru?” Rangiku said chalantly, nudging her fellow lieutenant to play along.
         “Yup! Just like Kenny to punch Ichi in the face and then go to jail!” she said with a giggle. “We have to get going anyways, thanks for your help though!”
         “Whatever you say...” Karin said, not buying a thing they were saying.
         “Ok then! See you later Yachiru, I hope you find Captain Zaraki!” Yuzu said, falling for Rangiku’s lie like a complete fool. “It was nice meeting you Ms. Matsumoto, I’ll see you later!” and with that they headed home.
         Rangiku picked up Yachiru and they headed back to the high school.
         “Were going the wrong way!” Yachiru said trying to trust her own directions through a town she had never even been to. “Where are you taking me?!”
         “We are going to pick up Ms. Orihime. I need a place to stay and she is going to be the one to give it too me. Besides, she can take us to the jail and hopefully pay whatever we need to get Kenpachi out of trouble.” Rangiku said as they approached the school. “Now we just need to find Orihime, but try to be discreet, to much attention makes begging hard...”
         “HIME!!! ORIHIME!!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!”
         ‘So much for discrepancy, ohh well.’ Rangiku thought to herself. “Wait I see her! She’s right there!” Rangiku said when she looked into the classroom. She was talking to Tatsuki and Michiru, two of her best friends. School was out, and since Ichigo was currently in the hospital, the usually group wasn’t hanging out. Rangiku beaconed Orihime to come down.
         “Hey girlfriend! Where are the others?” Rangiku said, pulling Orihime into an embrace.
         “Ohh well Uryu is practicing with his dad, Chad is doing something with his uncles for... I think he called it... El Día de los Muertos? Ichigo is in the hospital, and as of right now, I’m not doing anything!” Orihime said with a big smile. “I may stop by and heal Ichigo later though...”
         “Is the hospital anywhere near the prison?” Rangiku asked. Perhaps they could kill two birds with one stone if they did this right.
         “Actually ya but why would we care about that?” Orihime wondered. Not noticing Yachiru, who was trying to climb onto Rangiku’s shoulders, to little to no avail due to Rangiku’s silky, form fitting attire.
         “Hey! I don’t want to be on the ground!” she said in a frustrated tone. “I am gonna get my dress dirty!”
         “Sorry about that kiddo, I didn’t notice you.” Rangiku said with a smile, picking the small girl up and putting her on her shoulders. “Captain Zaraki was arrested earlier, and Yachiru was left behind somehow, I found her with Ichigo’s sisters. We need to get the captain out...”
         “Ohh ya we could that!” Orihime said. “The hospital is less than a mile away from the police station where they would be holding him.”
         “Alright, ohh and by the way... me, Toshiro, and Momo all need a place to stay... do you have any ideas of somewhere that would be comfertable, quiet, and has a screen to the soul society?” Rangiku said, overtly letting Orihime know of the intention to stay at her place.
         “Oh fine!” Orihime said. Truth be told, she was excited to have company, regardless of the fact that they were all very high ranking officers in the soul society. She had always been lonely, and having company helped to break the monotonus aura that consumed her apartment when she was alone. Plus, she felt very safe knowing that all of these people were very power, and could protect her if she could not. “Well lets get a move on! Don’t want to have to keep Ichigo or Captain Zaraki waiting right?” and with that they were off, running at full speed to the hospital.
