After departing from Urahara shop after having a conversation with her father, Shizune departed to gather her mother and Emi as he requested. It was good to know that at least he trusted her with the task of bringing Azumi and Emi back to the store where everyone was currently at. Even after her father spoke to her, she still was a little upset by what went down. Maybe if she did something, her mentor would have not been taken. There was so much she didn't understand but she knew that it would be best if she didn't get involved at all.
After reaching Lady Yuri's apartment complex. She looked around, did her mother put up the barrrier like she said she would. Shizune extended her hand and attempted to feel out the barrier but didn't find it.
"That's a little odd...mommy said she would put one up. I don't even have one of those soul phone thingies so its not like I could call."
After looking around for a few more moments. Shizune performed a flash step and seconds later appeared on the balcony, looking into the window. Emi was sleeping on the sofa, covered up by her Haori. Mother was near her sleeping. Extending her hand again, she felt out and finally came in contact with the barrier. It was a lot smaller and much more condensed than she thought. It was merely a mirror style barrier.
She knocked on it hoping to wake someone...like that was going to work. She looked around, needing to find another way in since these barriers are known to keep individuals out but not in. It was then that she got an idea, it was pretty dangerous but it had to work. She would merely transform herself into a hollow and use a cero blast to attempt to destroy the barrier which hopefully from what she heard about her mother from Lady Yuri in her time shouldn't cause to much damage being that her mother is a Kido Master.
Jumping back she gathered reishi underneath her feet to form a platform to stand on while she was in the air. She covered her face with her left hand as black spirit particles began to form into her hand. Once her mask formed around her face, she laughed knowing that this was going to work.
"This should be fun."
Shizune extended her right hand and pointed at the barrier. It wasn't often that she's got to have a little fun to experiment being that Lady Yuri was super strict with her. She began to mold spiritual pressure and forming it into a cero. Once she gather enough she fired it at the balcony door. Once it connected the cero was bounced off the barrier and headed straight back for her. She gasped before she was knocked down off of the reishi platform and crashed into the ground. Once she hit the ground, her mask shattered leaving her leaving her laying there twitching.
"That...didn't work....as well as I thought it would."
She sat up and looked down at the clothes she was wearing gasped again. Her mother's clothing had holes in it everywhere. She was going to die and it would be because her mother would kill her.
She screamed and covered her hands with her face knowing that she was doomed. She let her father down and now her mother was going to destroy her for ruining her clothes, clothes that she never wanted to wear anyway.

Azumi shifted in her chair and sat up upon hearing screaming coming from outside. She rubbed her eyes and looked down toward Megumi whom was still sleeping. She forced herself to stand up before waddling over to the to the balcony door. She placed her hand up to it slowly and broke it down , creating an opening. Once waddling out on to the balcony, she glanced over the rail and saw someone sitting their on the ground. She yawned while staring at the individual sleepily. After sighing she put on a serious face.
"HEY SHUT UP!!! THERE IS A PRECIOUS LITTLE ANGEL IN HERE TRYING TO SLEEP AND IF I WASN'T PREGNANT I'D, COME DOWN THERE AND KICK YOUR A...Shi is that you?"
After rubbing her eyes again, she leaned over the railing of the balcony to get a better look of who it was and it surely enough was Shi. Why was she screaming? A better question would be why is she here and where are the others?
"Stop screaming and come up here already. I hope everything is alright!"
After yawning again she she left the balcony door craft and went back inside to handle early morning pregnant lady business.

Upon hearing all the screaming and whatnot, Megumi awoke from her slumber, sitting up to rub her eyes. Who would be yelling at this time? Was it some crazy person? When she got up, the little one was still rubbing her eyes. She didn't see or hear Azumi talking so the poor thing got scared that something had happened to her. "M..Miss Azumi?" When she didn't hear a response, She began to freak out. She said she would take care of Azumi and she's not even in the house! What was she going to do? If Ryouji were to find out, he would be really mad at her. It was then she noticed someone in the house. She couldn't see who it was due to her hysteria, more or less. "H..Hey! Bring back Miss Azumi!"
When the person didn't respond, she was gonna try to attack him or her to make the person tell her. After trying a flying kick (after climbing on some kind of furniture xD), she was grabbed by the ankle, now squirming upside down. "Lemme go, you big meanie!" After squirming around, she managed to attach herself to her assailant's arm and was about to bite down. By the time she bit the person's arm and dropped as a result did she noticed who it was. "SHI!" Megumi then hugs onto Shi's leg, hoping that she would be forgiven. The poor girl even had tears in her eyes from wanting to cry. She didn't mean to hurt her. She thought she was some kind of bad guy that had taken Azumi away and was after her. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I thought you were like this.. bad guy and and..I couldn't find Miss Azumi and.. I had to defend myself and get her back, you know!"

For someone so young, Megumi was awfully fierce and determined to protect Azumi. After glancing at her arm and then down to Megumi she knelt down in front of her and smiled even though it felt like she was bitten by an enormous vicious animal, Megumi was just doing what she thought she had to do to protect everyone.
"If I was a bad guy, I would surely run away in fear of you Emi. You did very well. You will be just as strong as your mother and father."
Shi wrapped her arms around Megumi and gave her a big huge hug for she missed her while she was away. It was hard not to miss Megumi, especially since she's so very important to her.
"Before she comes back I want to thank you for watching over her for me. Before we fight again I have to do everything I can to spend more time with her and not upset her...she's very scary."
After patting Megumi on the head, Shi stood up and looked around for her mother but didn't see her. Where could she have gone, she was just up here. In the midst of thinking she completely forgot about what she's done to her mother's clothes and was more worried about her whereabouts.

Rai fell off the couch from where he was sitting upon hearing the fuss. He ran out to see Megumi being held upside-down by his Captain, shaking his head.
"Oh, it's only you two. There was enough noise to make me think we were being assaulted by an entire battalion..."
He shook his head, sitting back down in a chair. He figured Megumi would yell and kick his shin as normal, but this time, he was prepared. He had a shin pad, an extra thick one, on Megumi's favorite area of assault. He just sat there, waiting.

Megumi turned her head to look at Rai. He didn't have to say the way he did regarding her and Shi. It was just plain rude. IT's alright though. She'll just plan a good pay back plan. "You're so mean! Don't talk to us like that! We're ladies after all! You gotta treat us nice!" When Shi was looking around to find Azumi, she was confused. Didn't she know where she was? And why would she think Azumi was scary? "She's not scary at all! She's really nice! She told me a lot of things! and And.." She, too, was looking around and Azumi was nowhere to be found. Was she really gone? did someone take her?
Her eyes were watering up and well, was close to crying. "But..But.. she was here! In the char! where did she go??"

After returning from handling her early morning business, Azumi left from the restroom and came back into the living room to see that Megumi was awake, but it was so early. Then of course Shi had finally come into the apartment.
"Megumi honey you should so not be up this early, did Shi's screaming wake you up. You should feel super bad for waking up this cutie Shi! You should like..."
Azumi looked at Shi's clothing, how it was all tattered and full of holes. Those were really her clothes and now they were completely ruined. She glanced down at the pants she was wearing and her eye began to twitch, those were her favorite pair of pants and now they were beyond ruined.
With her left eye still twitching, Azumi forced a rather grim smiled upon her face while staring at Shi. Really she was furious but she knew better than to assume anything. Even so, those were still her favorite pair of pants.
Even with the forced smile and twitching eye all she could do was stare at Shi. There was nothing she could say or would say to her at that point...all she would do is stare at her and hope she feels the a flame of immense distraught over the lose of her dear pants.

Upon seeing how her mother was staring at her, Shi backed away slowly. The eye twitching and the silent treatment was a little to much for her to take. In desperation not to see her mother glaring at her like that, Shi grabbed Megumi and held her out in front of her as a shield of sorts.
She didn't mean for her mothers clothing to be ruined, she was only trying to get inside, who would have known that her mother's barriers would also have reflective properties. As a captain,she must accept responsibility for what she has done.
"I'm so very sorry about your clothing. It was an accident and I swear to you, that I will replace the clothing that you lost. Please don't hate me!!"
Here she was attempting to get her mother's approval and so far she's only managed to make it worse. There was just no way she could do anything to keep her mother from getting angry with her. It honestly made her feel horrible and she wanted to cry more than anything. Not to mention this entire situation made her forget momentarily why she had even come in the first place.
"Oh yes...Da...I mean um...Ryouji sent me to come and bring the lot of you back to that Urahara store place! Au...I mean Shukumei has been badly injured by Zetsumei and I believe that they need your help Miss Azumi. There is so much going on its hard to explain. Please come with me, I don't want anyone else I care about to get hurt."
Shi lowered her head before lowering Megumi down onto her own feet again. She could still feel her mother's cold stare and she didn't like it. When she heard all the stories, she thought her mother was as nice as they come, apparently Lady Yuri left out quite a few details...such as her total evil glares and silent treatments.

Megumi was quite confused as to why Shi had picked her up and held her up in the air. Not like she minded too much. It kinda made her feel kinda tall since her feet wasn't on the ground. After being placed down, she noticed how Azumi was staring at Shi. Then the little one looks to Shi who looked like she was sick or something. Did it have anything to do with Azumi staring at her? Regardless, it was up to her to try and patch things but between them. She moves over to Azumi, tugging on her hand a little. "Miss Azumi, please don't be mad at Shi! She didn't mean to mess up your clothes. Stuff happens, right? She goes on really tough missions and.. She gets hurt a lot and.. And.." It was hard on trying to think of what to say. Might as well say what she can, right?
"But don't worry! Shi keeps her promises! Always! Besides, it could of been the bad guy who could of done it!" When she said that, it kind of made her feel bad. When she looked to Shi, she could see how tattered the clothes really were. Could she of really come across Zetsumei? The way she was talking about Shukumei getting hurt really bad, she had to of been there. If she was, she would of done everything to make sure the others wouldn't get hurt. "I may still be just a kid but.. I don't wanna lose Shi or anyone! I like you guys too much! I worry about you guys!" After that, she looks to Azumi. "After everything's better, let's all go to... uh.. What do they call it here.. Where you go buy things like clothes..and candy?? We can go there!"

Nori had just woken up when he came upon the scene on Azumi and Shi. He knew how Azumi loved shopping and her clothes, figuring that the only reason Shi had not incurred the wrath on unspeakable horror was that Megumi was right there. Nori went into the kitchen, coming out with a bowl of ice cream for the kid and ruffling her hair lightly. He sat down, watching the scene between the two women unfold. He was just hoping it did not turn into this huge screaming match.

How could she stay mad with Megumi defending Shi the way she was. She would definitely have to hold Shi to her word. It was weird to her. Why was Shi trying so hard to impress her. It was a little hard not to see how obvious it was. The way she was always being stared at by Shi when she was going to do something Azumi may not approve of. The way she always held her locket before apologizing. Azumi didn't understand why it was so important for Shi to remain on her good side.
What connection do the two of them share. Staring at Shi was almost like staring at a mirror. Is...Shi...my daughter? No that's impossible. She did say her parents died. Her haori had an attachment with the squad three and five haori attached to them. Yuri is her mentor...its all making so much sense now. Shi...really is my daughter!"
Azumi's facial expression changed from one of anger to one of sadness. She stood there looking at her very own daughter one who grew up with out a motherly embrace. Growing up without her own family. At that exact moment, Azumi didn't care about her pants anymore...the only thing she wanted to do was to give her baby a enormous hug.
Azumi walked over to Shizune and stood in front of her. Tears were welling up in her eyes but she wouldn't cry. Everything thats happening, even Mei-Mei's injuries seemed like nothing at least for the moment. Without word or warning Azumi pulled Shi in for a tight hug and refused to let her go.
"Forget about the pants...Pants can be replaced, but everything you've lost...cannot be bought, or returned or ever replaced. I'm sorry for being...so mean to you Shi. Let me apologize to you, For everything you've endured and lost in your young life."
This was her baby...the very whom she had been carrying for all these months. She could rest easy knowing that she would grow up into becoming a beautiful well mannered strong woman.
After a few minutes, Azumi released Shi from the embrace and nodded. She needed to go help Mei-mei out and quickly. She wondered if Ryouji knew what she just discovered. Maybe that was the reason he lost there little fight when they first met? Or maybe she really did kick his butt. Was this why he entrusted her to recover Azumi by herself.
There was so many questions that needed to be answered and there was no real way to ask them. Shi already said she couldn't reveal anything more than she already has because it may ripple time itself. She had to know for sure, and she figured out a way to find out, all that was left was to spring it on her and get the answers she required.
"Grab whatever you need everyone, Mei-mei needs me so we're leaving with Shi."

Megumi looked at the two hugging and felt proud. It felt like she was able to convince Azumi to like Shi. However, seeing the mother and daughter hug, it made her feel kind of sad. It was making her miss her mother. She wanted to go see her now, but even if she could, there was no way she could openly admit who her mother really was. It was so frustrating. Little Emi was going to try and hide how she felt because she didn't want to be a worry to anyone. They would probably notice and ask her what's wrong so she might as well come up with it. "Aw, lookie here! You two became friends! Uh well.. You were already friends but.. You know what I mean! It's good though. I hope Mama's doing alright.. I really miss her.. and Papa too.." She wasn't sure how long Shi, herself, and Rai had been in this timeline. It feels like it's been months or something. She was starting to feel homesick.
She had to stop thinking about it though. If she kept on, she would eventually start crying. "Hey! How about we cook when we get to the candy store?? I'm hungry! Miss Azumi, could you cook some breakfast when we get there? Pleeease?" Her mother would tell her that she had learned her cooking from Azumi. If her mother's cooking was good, then Azumi's had to be good too! "Come on! Let's go!"

Shizune was kind of thrown off guard when her mother hugged her. How her expression changed, it was a little unsettling but it was nice to finally be able to be hugged in approval. Was there a chance that she figured out who she was? She couldn't have, she was very cryptic as to who she really was. After scratching her head in a confused manner, She turned her head back slightly and glanced at Emi before
"Hop on Emi!"
Without word or warning, she quickly scooped her mother up into her arms and began to carry her while waiting for Emi to climb aboard the Shizune Express like they usually do when they are back home.
"I won't travel to fast, I wouldn't want you to get become ill, Missus Azumi. Something feels so wrong, but I don't know what it is. I can't describe it. It's almost as if something is off balance."
It was probably nothing, but even still there was just something bothering her. Not to mention she was worried about Lady Yuri and wanted to see if she was alright. She knew that her father would deliver on his word and bring her back safely. Shizune lowered herself down and Emi quickly clung to her back and wrapped her arms and legs around Shi's neck and waist respectively. Shi smiled and noticed that she secretly put on haori and put on her Haori when she wasn't looking. How she loved that thing
"I'm going on ahead, I want to check on Miss Shukumei and Lady Yuri. Whenever you're ready Lieutenant, meet us there."
Shizune turned to toward the balcony, walked outside and jumped off slowly making her way for the Urahara shop. She had to be careful since her mother was pregnant and didn't want to risk injuring the baby...even though she was certain that the baby was indeed herself in this time period.

Rai looked to his Captain, nodding as he stood. He could tell something was bothering her, but knew it was not his place to ask. They were close enough that he knew she would tell him eventually.
"Yes Ma'am, I'm right behind you."
