"Cherī, you should come inside now." Kisuke called out to his daughter who stood outside in front of Urahara's shop starring up at the sky.

"I'm going over to Ichigo's for awhile. I feel as if something is going to happen."

"If something happens you can't help anyone in your current condition."

"I know that. Ken keeps reminding me whenever he gets a chance."

"At least you and your Zanpakutō are able to communicate with each other once more." Cherī nodded.

"I'll be going now! I'll be home soon!" She waved her hand over her shoulder as she ran out of sight. Kisuke let out a sigh as a smile made it's way to his lips. Cherī ran down the road heading towards the Kurosaki household. Upon reaching the house she went to the front door turning the knob finding it unlocked. Stepping inside the house closing the door behind her before taking off her shoes.

"Ichigo?" She called out into the empty living room.

"Rukia? Kon?" She searched for said people. Going upstairs she heard shouting coming from Ichigo's room. Quietly opening the door her green eyes landed on the girl laying in Ichigo's bed.

"Ah... Why do you have a girl in your bed?" Cherī questioned as she stood near the door. Both Kon and Ichigo jumped not hearing her walk in.

"Cherī~! My wonderful melons~!" Said woman didn't bother to move out the way when Kon sprung towards her, lifting up her leg she hit him in the stomach causing him to drop to the ground in pain.

"That's my body!"

"Cousin, is something wrong?"

"I just came by to see how everyone was doing when earlier today to got an ominous feeling. And it just increased when I saw this girl." She said walking over to the bed starring at the green haired girl sleeping.

"I don't sense anything from this girl. I had sent a report to the Soul Society."

"That's good. I think we need to go back to my place and talk about this to my father. He might know what's going on."

"Right." Rukia nodded.

"Kon, stay here and take care of this girl." Ichigo said. Cherī rushed downstairs putting on her shoes meeting Rukia and Ichigo in front of the house.

"We can get there faster if I just carried you there." Ichigo said bending down, Cherī sighed as she got on his back wrapping her arms around his neck as his stood up tucking his arms under her legs. She blushed resting her head against the side of his neck.

"Your tired, huh?" He asked.

"No..."

"Really?"

"... Maybe a little."

"Your still healing and let's not forget about your reiatsu is slowly returning." Rukia said.

"You'll need all the rest you could get."

"She's right. Sleep for now, hopefully we can find out what's going on."

"Okay.." Cherī closed her eyes as they neared Urahara's shop. Once they arrived Ichigo went to put the sleeping woman to bed before going to speck with Kisuke.

"Take Ichigo with you?"

"Yes. I've received orders from the Department of Research and Development to appear before them with the Substitute Soul Reaper. I've never received an order like that before, so I tried contacting them again to confirm it." Rukia spoke.
