Ukitake stood waiting at the gate on the excution grounds as Renji and the others appeared out of the gate. He smiled at the Official Shinigami who bowed to him and gave him a smirk. “It is good to see that you have returned, Kurosaki-san.” He turned to Renji. “We are waiting for your report on his job, Abarai-san. But that will wait till morning. We have a house for our Official Shinigami to be in while he’s here.”
Ichigo looked at him shocked. “I’m sure that one of the Captains won’t mind housing us for the short time we are here, but if there is a house for us all, I’m not one to back down from accepting it.”
Ukitake smiled as he turned from them as Ichigo walked by his side. “I will escort you to the house, as Abarai-kun needs to go to his squad’s house and make himself known before Kuchiki gets upset with him for not reporting in immediately.”
Renji knew he would get in trouble for not reporting in so he smirked at Ichigo and flash stepped away towards his squad’s house.
Orihime looked at Ukitake. “Why would Kurosaki-kun have a house of his own while he’s here?”
Ukitake smiled. “If we allowed him to dorm in one of the squads, Kenpachi would wake him up in the middle of the night to fight him, so we made sure that he has his own place to live.”
Ichigo scratched the back of his head. “That was real thoughtful of you guys for doing that.”
Ukitake smiled before he broke into a cough that lasted for several moments. They waited till his cough got quieted before continueing on the way. Ukitake walked past a house that was brightly lit, he paused there before he continued on. “That was weird, usually her house would be dark at this hour.”
“Who’s house did we just pass, Ukitake?” asked Ichigo.
“Nara-kun’s house. I guess she must have just returned from the living world this evening. From what I felt, she was quite upset.” Ukitake stated, as they walked on.
“Is her first name . . . Tamika?” Ichigo said, stopping right in the middle of the street.
“Well, yes, how do you know her? She rarely gets involved in any of the other Shinigami’s work.”
“We met her when she got into an accident at one of the shops. Tamika-kun never told us her last name or anything about her family.” Orihime said.
Ukitake smiled. “She is called the hooded Shinigami. I believe she will be at the meeting in the morning. You can see her in action then. She probably will be sparing with one of the Captains after the meeting is over with. She usually does that with them. Kenpachi-taicho is usually her sparing partner or maybe one of the other captains if they are into a spar.”
“She takes on Kenpachi herself?” asked Ichigo. “And here I am usually running from fighting him.”
“She holds herself against him even though she told him not to hold back on her. They both get cut up before they call it an end which could be days from when they started,” Ukitake stated, as they walked on.
“Aren’t we going to say hi to her?” asked Uryû, looking back at the house gates as they got further away from the house itself.
“You will have plenty of time to see her. She usually attends the Captain and Vice-Captains’ meetings.” Ukitake stated, as he went down the corridor before he opened a door to a residence. “Well, here’s the home you will be staying at while you are here. I would host you all in my home’s guest quarters but I got my sisters and brothers staying there. This house will have to do for you for now.”
“We could stay with Rukia or Renji for the short period we’re here for.” Ichigo stated.
“True, but Rukia lives with her brother and Renji has roommates from the sixth squad living with him at the time being. And this house is big enough for you all and the owner of the house doesn’t mind sharing since he is off in the living world doing some Hollow work and he told us to allow visitors to reside in his home while he’s gone.” Ukitake stated.
“That is very kind of him to allow visitors to reside in his home. Thank him for us when he returns,” Ichigo replied.
“I will when he returns.” Ukitake said, as he glanced over to see Orihime looking at the name plate of the owner, even though it was not visible by the overgrowth that was on it.
Orihime pulled some of the overgrowth that was covering the house’s owner’s name to find that the name on the door was that of Ichigo’s last name. She looked at Ukitake and opened her mouth to speak when he nodded slightly before turning away from her and entering the courtyard.
“I’m sorry it is dark at the moment, let me find the light.” Ukitake said. It took him a minute to find a torch to light before heading to the other lights to get them alight. “The former owner liked the flame torches, he probably would like other ways now.”
The courtyard was still nicely kept as a cherry tree sat in the middle of the yard. There was at least three buildings attached to the walkway on which they stood upon. They went to the guest quarters to find plenty of room to house them all while they are there. Orihime picked one of the rooms closest to the main door as Chad, Ishida and Ichigo picked other rooms. Ukitake bid them a good night and left the residence for his own but only after stopping at the 4th division to get some cough syrup to help sooth his cough that he had, even though it was not a cold that caused his coughing.
He saw Byakuya standing in front of his gate leading into his home. “They’re here at his home. Did Renji pay you a visit?”
“Yes, he did. I told him to retire to his home and meet me in the morning. I don’t think he will even consider seeing Nara-kun anytime soon. He told me when I asked him about Nara-kun, that he doesn’t want to talk about it and stormed out of the room at a quick pace.” Byakuya stated, softly.
“Think he will be concerned when he learns what happened to her?”
Byakuya shook his head slightly. “The only ones who would worry is her friends from the living world.” Once, those words came from his lips, he slipped back into his house and closed the doors.
Ukitake nodded slightly and headed for home.

The next morning, in the meeting hall of the first squad, Ichigo and his friends watched as the captains all made their appearance, Kenpachi Zaraki grinned big when he saw Ichigo, Yachiru waved to him before standing slightly behind her captain.
Yamamoto-Genryûsai Shigekuni looked towards Renji who stood next to his captain. “Abarai-san, make your report on the doings of the Official Shinigami.”
Renji stepped forth and proceeded to make his report to the captains and to the general. It was during this that Ichigo looked around the captains looking for Tamika in the ranks but she wasn’t there.
It was about ten minutes into Renji’s report when a commontion was heard outside of the doors before the doors were shoved open and a servant came racing into the room, she raced to where Byakuya was standing and immediately dropped to her knees.
“Kuchiki-san, I was told if anything happened to come get you! It’s Nara-san, she won’t wake up! I tried everything to awaken her but she’s not!” The young servant immediately started to bawl her eyes out.
Byakuya Kuchiki turned to look at Yamamoto and bowed before he turned to the servant girl and told her to lead the way. Just as they reached the doors, another voice was heard. Byakuya turned to see the captain of the 4th division with her vice captain behind her approaching them.
Unohana spoke, “I would like to come as this may be a medical problem.”
Byakuya nodded before he noticed Ichigo and his friends approaching. He only slightly smiled towards them before turning to leave the room with the servant. He made a note mentally that Renji didn’t even budge from his spot before he went out of the room.
They reached Nara-san’s home and was allowed entrance after they removed their shoes and hurried towards Nara-san’s bedchambers to see her lying on a Western styled bed completely unconcious covered up only in a blanket and her white top.
Unohana quickly knelt by her side and started to examine her, while the others waited from the door way.
The servant asked if she could bring tea for them to drink. Byakuya nodded as the young woman bowed and went racing off to fetch the tea for them. Byakuya noticed how Ichigo was looking within the room. “She will do her best to awaken her, Kurosaki-san.”
“I know, Byakuya, I just want to know what cause her this much pain to comatose herself,” Ichigo stated.
Byakuya silently moaned as the young man called him by his first name instead of his last as it was proper to do. “Unohana-taicho will tell us when she will awaken.”
The servant girl brought the tea and poured it for them. She barely glanced at Byakuya as she handed him the warm cup of tea, which he took from her with a nod before the servant girl gave Ichigo his cup of tea. The girl glanced over to see Unohana-taicho still working on figuring out why Tamika was not walking.
Ichigo smiled softly. “Tamika is in good hands. She’ll figure this out.” ‘I hope.’
The girl looked up at Ichigo and then over to Byakuya, before she turned to her mistress with a worried look on her face. “Nara-san came home last night upset. Didn’t say why but she was hurt in some way that she didn’t say. I think the living world hurt her in some way.”
Ichigo turned to look at Byakuya for any sign that he may know what hurt her, but all he got was the same cold stare that he would give to almost everyone. Ichigo sighed as he turned his attention to Unohana and Tamika. The sounds of footsteps and the jingling of bells were heard approaching the room. He turned to see the tall Captain Kenpachi standing there with his ‘daughter’ hanging onto his shoulder as always.
“How is she?” Kenpachi asked, as he took to kneeling near to the other two men.
“Asleep, a deep sleep that she’s not waking up from.” Ichigo stated, looking at him.
Yachiru hopped off his shoulder and walked over to Unohana and knelt next to her. “Is Tamika going to be okay, Unohana-san?”
The young woman turned to look at her, eyes showing just the slight pain before turning completely around to face the three men and the young girl. “I’m afraid I cannot awaken her. I have tried everything but nothing is working as of yet. I am hoping that being around her friends or Captains that she admires might help her to wake up.”
Kenpanchi nodded as did Ichigo, Byakuya’s eyes did the only motion he could do. Yachiru spoke, “We will stay with her and talk to her. Maybe one of us will wake her up.”
That started the visits from the Captains she liked and her friends which turned out to be very little but for the humans who came with Ichigo. They all noticed the lack of her friends and realized that she didn’t have any beyond the servants she had within her own home.
Ichigo noticed from the guest quarters in Tamika’s home that there was one Vice Captain who never showed up to pay a visit. He turned to the others and spoke, “I need to go find someone and see if he won’t come and pay her a visit. I think she needs to hear his voice or at least feel his reistu in the room. I’ll be back not sure when but I’ll probably be back by nightfall.”
The others nodded as Ichigo went out of the quarters and headed out of Nara-san’s home to start searching for the one he seeked. Ichigo asked the servant who was waiting by the door where to find the 11th division squad building was located at; after he got the information, he headed in that direction.
