“What…? back to the soul society ALREADY? but we just returned like only a day ago…huh I wonder what is so important they would want to call us back.” Rukia said glancing at the ground, her hand cupping her chin in a thinking way, her arm under the other as she sighed glancing back at Renji after a few moments. “What about Ichigo..? or everyone else…? should we say SOMETHING because they’d freak if we just left without notice.”

“Ichigo? Ehhh… I don’t know. Look, it’s not like he’ll even notice if we’re not here and I don’t think it’d be a good idea to tell him what’s up just yet since we don’t even know ourselves. You can stay if you want. I just wanted you to know beforehand…” There were still issues of the shinigami upper echelon not trusting the substitute despite his proving himself. Renji didn’t think it was a good idea to stir the pot just yet.
