She stood at in the shadows, her face and body covered by a black robe that hid her presence as she watch Kisuke Urahara looked impatiently at the Seireitei. He had mentioned a rebuild had taken place. She could hardly recognize it.
"Well, Kisuke, are we going or what?" She asked, keeping her voice low.
"I didn't tell anyone we were coming by for a visit." He replied with a ridiculous smile. "But yes. Head straight to the Squad One barracks." He finished and they both took off, using shunpo to quickly and quietly reach the large window where most meetings of the Captains were held. She could make out the bright pink kimono that only one person would wear in any settling. She flash-stepped into the office with grace, her bare feet barely making a sound.
"Well this is interesting." The man behind the desk said, long wavy dark hair and an eye patch graced his slightly older features.
"Shunsui Kyōraku, it's been such a long time." She spoke, letting the hood fall from her head.
"Is that you, Kariuzu?" He asked in bewilderment.
"HEAD CAPTAIN!" A female voice shouted as the main doors opened, the woman in the hood flash-stepped behind the man, and rested her arm against the back of his chair.
"Not now, Nanao." The head captain responded.
"I gotta say, the old man made a good choice making you the Head Captain." The woman responded.
"Surely, you jest, since the Kariuzu, I knew would." He replied.
"Ah, yes I would. Wouldn't I?" The smile fell off her face for a moment. "I'm sorry for the loss you've suffered Shunsui. Kisuke filled me when he got me here."
"What happened to you, Kariuzu? It's been 225 years." He asked, his eyes growing sad.
"That's why I'm here. You might want to call a Captain Meeting, have them bring their Lieutenants as well. This is a story that has been in the dark for too long, and Kisuke is getting Yoruichi. She knows about where I've been."
"I understand." He responded looking at his Lieutenant. "Nanao call an emergency meeting." The young girl nodded and Kariuzu, sat on the edge of the desk of the Head Captain and sighed. The woman, Nanao had left the door open, and she watched as Kisuke and Yoruichi arrived first. The dark skinned woman saw Kariuzu and rushed her, the hugged tightly, before stepping away.
"If you are finally here, then?" Yoruichi began, but Kariuzu held up her hand.
"I must tell everyone the story, it's time Yoruichi." The dark skinned woman nodded and stepped back, Kisuke at her side.
