After the tour and getting to know all the squads, Yuki can't escape the fact that she needs to pick a squad as soon as possible. But being torn to choose between six squads is nerve wrecking for her since she doesn't like pressure.

Yuki is now walking the streets of Seiretei just looking around. Taking her mind off of the dilemma at hand.

"Yuki-dear!" A voice called behind her

"Oh, Yumichika onii-san!" Yuki greeted back and hugged him

"How was your mission yesterday?" She asked

"It went well. And I got a gift for you." Yumichika said and crouched to Yuki's height

"Close your eyes, please. And don't open them unless I say so." He added and Yuki just tilted his head

Yumichika chuckled and Yuki just closed her eyes either way. She then felt something wrapping on her ankles and something being inserted in her second toe. Same goes for her other foot.

"There. Open up." Yumichika said and Yuki did

She looked towards him and he pointed downward towards her feet. The sight had Yuki's eyes glowing and her cheeks flushing.

Yumichika just gave her barefoot sandals with white stem and leaf like designs with lilacs on it.

"Wow. These are pretty!" Yuki sat down and looked at her feet.

"They're called barefoot sandals. It's kind of a trend in the World of the Living. Since I remembered that you don't wear any foot ware, I got you those. Do you like it?" Yumichika said

Yuki looked at him and nodded her head.

"I love it! Thank you, Yumichika onii-san!" Yuki said and glomped him in a hug again

After that heart-warming scenario, Yuki continued her wandering through Seiretei. She just kept on wandering and wandering until she realized she's already at the Sogyoku Hill.

"Wow. You can see the whole Seiretei from up here. Haha. I can even see my room!" Yuki said as she sat down on the edge of the cliff

"Yuki-sama." Came a voice Yuki knew too well

"Yes, Muracho?" Yuki answered in her mind

"There is a passage here to the World of the Living. An unknown and unregistered one." Muracho said

"Oh? Where is it?" Yuki asked and she stood up

"Just beside the right pillar. West side." Muracho said and Yuki went to the said passage's location

"By the way, Yuki-sama. Nice feet." Muracho added

"Thank you. Yumichika onii-san gave these to me." Yuki answered then giggled

Yuki stood in front of the right pillar's west side and held her hand in front of it. Indeed there is a rift in space there and she figured it's a big passage.

"Is this affected by the cleaner?" Yuki asked

"No, Yuki-sama. This passage is not affected. It seems to be one of those free passages that you can use without a Senkaimon." Muracho said

Yuki nodded and tapped her chin.

"Where do you think it ends?" She asked as she placed her hand on the rift again

"You will see, Yuki-sama. But I am sure wherever it ends, you will be so delighted you will shed tears." Yuki can hear the playfulness in Muracho's voice

"Uhhh, I'm kinda anxious." Yuki said as she stepped away

"Hahaha. Don't be, Yuki-sama. I assure you this will lead you to a good place." Muracho said with a chuckle

Yuki sighed and shrugged her shoulders. She took a deep breath and counted to three before running inside the passage.

IN THE WORLD OF THE LIVING

In a certain shop at a secluded place in Karakura Town, a little girl with bored eyes is sweeping early in the morning. A redhead boy is also with her moving empty boxes from inside the shop outside.

"Ahhhhhh, I'm tired! So early in the morning and we do nothing but chores!" The redhead whined

"Ginta, we have to finish these or the boss will get mad." The little girl said that earned a tick mark to form on the redhead's head

"WHO ARE YOU TO ORDER ME AROUND, URURU!" The redhead said while pulling the loose strands of hair o the girl's forehead

"Ow ow ow. I am older than you so I can order you arou- ow ow ow!" Ururu said as she tries to pry herself off of Ginta's grip

"I DON'T CARE, DON'T ORDER ME AROUND!" Ginta said pulling harder

While the two are bickering, the wall beside the shop began to shift and what looks like a passage was beginning to form. The two bickering kids stopped for a while and focused on the forming rift.

"Ururu, call the boss." Ginta said and Ururu quickly ran towards the shop

Ginta stayed behind and got the broom that was laying around and is already on guard. The rift began to form ripples and Ginta's grip on the broom tightened. A flash of white all of a sudden came out o the rift and when it dashed towards him, Ginta was ready to swing but a hand stopped him.

"Easy there, kiddo. There's nothing to worry about." It was Kisuke Urahara, their boss and store owner

"But there was something that went out! It might be a Hollow!" Ginta said while flailing his arms

He then felt something karate chopped him on the head and the boy began flailing again.

"WHAT THE HECK, TESSAI! WHY'D YOU DO THAT!" Ginta complained to the older man

"Be quiet, can't you see we have a guest?" The older man said and pointed at Urahara

Ginta looked at their boss and indeed, they have a guest, sleeping in his arms.

TIME SKIP

Yuki drowsily opened her eyes and slowly sat up.

"Ugh, my head hurts." She mumbled to herself as she buried her head in the blanket she is covered in.

Wait, blanket?

Yuki quickly jerked her head up an looked around. The place is very unfamiliar but somehow, she felt familiar reatsus. She slowly stood up from the futon and folded it back to the corner neatly since that is what the Captain Commander always remind her, to fold her futon properly.

After that, she walked around the room and she got startled by the door opening. She swirled around and somehow got defensive at the unknown face before her.

"Don't be alarmed, Yuki-dono. You are safe here." The man said

"Oh, is that so. Thank you, Tessai." Yuki calmed down a walked towards him

"How do you know me?" Yuki said and followed Tessai outside the door

"I think it is better if someone else talk to you about it." Tessai said and he opened another door to another room

When Yuki saw the people in the room, her eyes can't help but widen and a few tears to slip down.

"Aww, why is my little kitten crying? Come here." A female voice said with her arms out wide

"It's nice to see you again, Yuki-chan. How's things?" A male voice said

Yuki was stuck in the doorway with waves and waves of tears streaming from her eyes. She took a few steps forwards before it became a full on run and she dove at the woman's open arms.
