It seemed strange being back in Seireitei. After all, it had been little over a year since she's been home. It was a mixture of feelings. Everyone would crowd around her to offer their support or say welcome back. Some of the people she recognized and some not so much. Luckily, Shiori was there to shoo them away whenever she felt like her auntie was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
Once in the Clinic and in a room away from anyone who had questions about her time being missing, she would sit down and sigh heavily as she grasps her outfit where her heart would be. She wasn't in physical pain. It was hard to explain. She was just glad for peace and quiet.
"Thank you for getting them to go, Shiori. I know they mean no harm but I just can't handle all the questions."
While things were fuzzy, there were a few things that did come to mind. Mostly involving a report with the Commander-General and she wasn't looking forward to that whether it was in person or not. For now, she would try to push back that thought and enjoy it being quiet.

Although it was sweet of her Auntie to thank her for”rescuing” her, it was about to get worse because Yuriko was definitely going to be somewhat shocked. Not that she minded anyway, but she was happy all the same. However, Shiori needed to focus, she didn’t know what she was in for but she knew she could get through it all as long as she was confident.
Shiori opened the door to her sister’s clinic. She moved aside to allow Auntie Yuri in and closed the door behind them. When she turned around she casually put up her finger her sister was right there staring at her finger!
“Shiori, we have gone over this several times, stop putting your finger up in the air at me! I...”
Yuriko paused and stepped to the side of her sister and was shocked that her aunt Yuri was standing like right here! Shiori closed her aister’s mouth and gently pulled her back in front of herself.
“Prep the fourth room for me, I will be using it for Auntie Yuri. I have a whole lot to do today. After I am finished, I will help you close your clinic!”
Yuriko took Auntie Yuri to the room Shiori described and got her prepared for the procedure. Honestly it didn’t take long because no one uses that room. She grabbed her doctor’s coat and headed toward room four.

While she knew she was safe and Shiori nwas here with her, Yuri couldn't help but to feel really nervous. She had no idea what was going to happen. She was making sure to take deep breaths and exhaling in an attempt to stay calm. It helped only a little.
It wasn't before long Shiori joined them inside the room. This time, she was wearing a white coat. It wasn't quite like a captain's Haori, but considering it as such did oddly help.
"So, what's going to happen? I only ask so I can at least be prepared. I don't want to react in a strange way that could cause anyone harm. Don't get me wrong. I trust you. I'm just... Extremely nervous."
She felt bad in saying that but she just wanted to be on the safe side. After all, Shiori is aware of her discomfort of being touched. Regardless, she would have faith in her niece.

Shiori was nervous as well but her Auntie wanted this done and she was going to do it because she wouldn’t trust anyone else with this job. Be honest, would anyone trust anyone besides Shiori with this job? Emi was a good choice, and quite possibly an even better candidate than Shiori would ever be, but she wouldn’t let them know that.
Shiori came around to her Auntie’s side and smiled, she placed her hand into her Auntie’s hand, holding it tightly. She wanted to let her Auntie know that she was going to be there for her no matter what happens.
“Alright Auntie, this is the room I will be using to restore your memories to you. It won’t be a long process but it will take some time. You don’t have to worry, Emi is coming over to help us both out. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, let me know and we can stop for a break. Now i can put you to sleep for this, or you can stay awake, I am going to be right here for you no matter what choice you make.”
Honestly she would prefer that she go to sleep but she wouldn’t have her Auntie to talk to if she made that choice. This was her decision all the same. She did her best to let her know that she was here for her all the same!

Yuri listened very carefully on what Shiori had to say about the procedure. She was given a choice to either sleep or stay awake. Until recently, it felt like she had been asleep already for a very long time. So, there was only one option left.
"I would prefer to stay awake. Until moments ago, it felt like I already was asleep. If it gets to where I can't handle what's going on, then I'll consider going to sleep."
After all, she's not sure how things will go once they got started. Still, she knew she could count on everyone who was helping. That she knew without a doubt.
"Just let me know what I need to do."

She was a bit excited for her procedure now, any bit of time spent with her favorite Auntie was a good thing. Now that she knew what way the procedure was going to go she moved her chair back upward, towards her Auntie’s head. Now was the chance to proceed further.
“I am going to say the words...left, right, or both. I would like you to raise your left arm, right arm, or both arms. The meaning is of course to get you to focus on my voice.”
At first she said right, and in response, Yuri lifted up her right arm. Shiori said both and in response, Yuri lifted both arms upward. Finally, Shiori said left and Yuri lifted her left arm. The purpose of the exercise
“Good, we can begin now. Now just sit still and when I am finished, you will have your memory back! Tilt your head back and relax.”
Shortly after Yuri was ready, Shiori’s hand began to glow green as she began to focus. It was no doubt slightly painful but she would be alright because she had to focus! There was a knock on the door and Yuriko answered it revealing it to be Emi! Now the official doctorate three was in the house. As long as Auntie Yuri is okay then Shiori would be okay as well.

As things progressed, Yuri did squirm around a bit. Not overly so but just enough to show discomfort. Emi held her mother's hand to give her support, but that seemed to offer little result. Shiori was tempted to stop, but Yuri encouraged her to continue. It was only due to how everything was rushing back that she had no other choice but to bury. That was her only way of keeping them safe. All the pleasant memories to the sad ones... They were flooding back.
This went on for some time. Despite the pain, Yuri pushed through although the whole ordeal left her utterly exhausted. When everything was done, she would finally cave in and fall asleep. This would give the girls the time they needed to finish any last minute things.
----------
Soon, Yuri would wake up in a different room. She moved a hand to her head since it felt like it was throbbing. She would rest there as she began to place things together. Soon, she heard the door open and saw a few people come in.
"Long time no see!"

Azumi entered the room fully, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Yuri. She stared at Yuri, she was glad that she was back home with them all. She was glad that it went okay for her too. She doesn’t doubt Shiori and her need to protect Yuri either.
“I just wanted to check in on you and see how you were doing. I also wanted to apologize to you for seemingly letting you go but I had no choice. I know Ryouji will want to choke me for saying this but you had us both worried sick about you!”
It was at that moment that Azumi stood up and threw her arms around her and sat on the bed while holding on to her. She would be crying if she wasn’t so darned happy to have her back. Hopefully, Shiori did come up with a way to keep Yuri’s memories her own again. Suddenly Azumi let go of her and wiped her eyes.
“I’m sorry, you have to forgive me. I should be happy that your memories are yours again. I am so happy and I know your husband is estatic. Ryouji is glad that you are alright as well. Your kids are waiting for me to let them in so I will tell them that you are ready to see them now. Ryouji and I are heading home and I am going to make an enormous feast in your honor!”
Azumi through up a peace sign! If that wasn’t a way to say how truly happy she was, then you really don’t know Azumi!

Yuri gave Azumi a short hug and a pat on the back. While things were getting back to normal, she's still not happy with physical contact. After hearing Azumi say Ryouji was worried, she gave a small chuckle.
" I'm sorry I caused everyone to worry so much. I'm glad to be back as well. It's a bit strange being back home."
She had thought about telling Azumi about her decision to retire, but maybe the big feast would be more suitable time and place to meet on that. For now, she would enjoy being back with her family who came in. Little Ryou hopped up in the bed with her and just hugged as tight as he could. Yuri would softly stroke his hair to soothe him as he was crying from seeing her again.

After walking out of the rooming area and back to the waiting area, all of her children minus Emi and Ryou were waiting on news of the procedure. Honestly she was shocked, that she was the one to tell everyone that she is awake.
“The procedure was an amazing success. You all can go back there and greet her but keep your voices down. I am going to head home and prepare dinner. Ryouji, will you come with me?”
Ryouji nodded and stands up and rushes over toward Azumi. The two of them waved and headed back home. Poor Yuri. If she only knew that her kids and nieces were going to hug her to death.
So there they were once again walking home alone together. Just like it was the old days. She missed this. Before the kids, it was just them. She wouldn’t dream what that was like. There family is complete. There was Shiori’s tale of her sister, Honestly she didn’t know anything about her at all. She would have to ask her mother about her.
“Ryouji, I’m...”
Ryouji shook his head. He could sense it from when Shiori told her about her sister. They will come across that bridge eventually. Ryouji was glad that she was feeling better.
Ryouji kissed her on the lips. That alone should say how he was feeling. After the kids Azumi smiled at rested her head and walked on home.
