"See you in a few okaa-san," Soi-fon said before closing her spiritual phone.

"Was that Yoruichi-san?" Tatsuki asked.

"It was. Would you like to come with me and Nel this evening?" Soi-fon asked.

"I would like that. And hopefully I can tell Ichigo how I feel as well..." she said, muttering the last part out loud.

"You have feelings for Ichigo?" Soi Fon said having heard the last part. " It's always good to tell those you care about how you feel since you never know what can happen. " She said remembering that she hadn't told Yoruichi her feeling until after they had fought during Ichigo's invasion of Soul Soicety. She still had a hard time believing it had already been two years.

Tatsuki blushed before nodding lightly. She hadn't told Ichigo this since Orihime had a crush on him at the time, but since she realized her feelings for Ishida, the young female vice captain had wanted to tell her longtime friend about her feelings...even if she had competition. "You're not going to tease me about this, I hope."

" I won't tease you. " Soi Fon said with a smile. It seemed many people were finding love and Soi fon wondered if she ever would.

"Thanks. Found anyone that you fancy, male or female?" Tatsuki asked in response.

" Not really. But I have a feeling they are out there. " Soi-Fon said hoping what she said was true.

"And knowing how much you went after Yoruichi-san, I would say your chances are better off with a female rather than a male, Taichou," Tatsuki said with a grin, letting her know she was teasing the petite ravenette.

Soi -fon grinned a little. " It is possible . " She said.

"Highly possible," she nodded in agreement.

" We should go and make sure Nel isn't working everyone too hard. And also tell her about dinner. " Soi-fon said with a smile.

"Yeah. Speaking of which, what division is she helping with right now?" Tatsuki asked.

" Squad 12. Thankfully Kurotsuchi has locked himself away in his lab for the time being." Soi-fon said knowing Nel would be able to handle him if he pulled anything.

"Poor girl. At least she doesn't have to deal with the teme," Tatsuki replied. While she hadn't met the man herself yet, thankfully, she overheard many things that just left her with a venomous feeling in her mouth. Doesn't he treat his daughter like crap also?" she asked.

" He does. I have no idea why no one in his squad has killed him yet. " Soi-Fon said knowing that none of the higher ranking officers in Squad 12 trusted that Teme.

"Good question," Tatsuki said.

Nel was glad they were taking a break and that Squad 12 was doing better than she had thought. Though she wished their captain was had shown some interest in this training feeling he didn't want his squad members to succeed.

Nemu was glad that her father wasn't bothering them while they were trying.

Nel gave a smile to the shy Lieutenant and was surprised that she had been allowed to train. But it was good that Nemu was there to help the lower ranked members who were being a bit stubborn .

Nemu was glad to be training for once and not being forced to do something against her will due to her "father".

( looks like you are doing good so far on your novel. I know you can do it. )

" How are you doing Nemu San? I'm really impressed at your progress. " Nel said with a smile.

(thanks. I'm gonna try getting to 5000 words tonight)

"Thanks Nel-san," Nemu said with a light grin.

( I know you can do it. :).)

" Is there anything else you would like to know? Since I have a feeling the rest of the squad has gone back to their labs. " Nel said feeling a bit down.

"Anything that you're willing to teach. I really want to learn," she replied.
