It's been awhile(Rangiku/Momo)

Rangiku made herway through the gates of the seretei as she would walk into the first district of the Rukongai. She had a friend in mind that she was going to visit, so she would walk with a Little pep in her step but not rushing by any means. She didn't want to make it seem like there was a problem or anything.

Exchanging friendly waves to some of the familiar faces of the rukongai she would make her way through the winding districts until she comes upon a familiar house. Somewhere that she hasn't been in some time, but still a familiar feeling washed through her mind. As she would gently make her way up the stairs to Tokis childhood home she would gently knock on the door.

Waiting for her old friend to open up she would try to keep an eye out for any familiar faces. Last thing thst she wanted people to think is that she was annoying them as afterall she wasn't that type of person. She tried to make time for anyone and everyone who wanted to speak to her.

Rangiku would have a bright smile as she heard the door begin to open up. She would wait until she got a little bit into the home before she would take her old friend into a tight bear hug. It had been a little while since they had seen each other, so she was extremely happy to see her.

"Been a long time Momo, how have you been? Is Toki still coming to visit pretty often?"

Rangiku would ask, and even though she knew the answer she just wanted to make sure. She knew that being a seated officer was busy work, but if Toki was neglecting to come see his MA she was going to have a word with him. As she walked into the building she would look around. The memories of being around during Toki growing up brought a smile to her face as she waited for Momo to give her a place to sit.

Despite spending quite a bit of time here she still didn't like to impede on people. Rangiku would try to sense for anyone else in the house as if she had a student she didn't want to interrupt anything.


"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" As

Rangiku knew that Toki would make time for his mother when he could. She just wanted to be extra sure of that fact, so she would allow the hug to break off before she would listen to her. Hearing her talking about new kido had her curious as she would then ask.

"OH, I need you to show me what you've been working on sometime alright? I was never that creative to make brand new spells like you Momo."

As she would follow her in farther getting offered tea she'd smile before feigning an annoyed look at the apology. There was very little the ex lieutenant could do to actually annoy her friend, but she would wave a hand making sure she understood it was no problem at all.

"No reason to apologize for not feeding into my vice Momo. I'm just glad you're doing well, and for the record I would love to have a cup of tea with you. I finished early today, so I have some time to kill anyway."

Rangiku really had finished early. Though a rarity that has become much more common since Momo had left. Seems like all the grading and what not for the school had woken up her mind to deadlines and actually getting all of her work done in a reasonable time.

"I have heard that you're picking up students though. Anyone standing out in the kido department, that I should be looking out for?"

Rangiku would giggle happily as she would go taking a seat and awaiting the tea that was soon to be given to her. As she would try to think about when her switch had changed. It must've been after she worked in the academy for a bit where she took her deadlines for marks and what not extremely seriously.

"So, I think it was my time at the academy that had me really kick my ass into gear."

As she would speak she'd smile at the fond memories. She truly did love being there, but it seems like that her place is bag in the squads. Like Noharu had said. In these trying times they are probably needed in the squads more than the academy. Also the academy will always be there.

Rangiku would contemplate the question as she sat waiting. She wasn't really sure how she felt about it yet really. She was much more busy than the academy now, but she does often teach alot more than she used to. She leads alot of group training, and when she can spare some time she'll even take time to teach some kido. Although, she wouldn't be able to teach them to the level that Momo is able to.

"Well, I'm more busy that's for sure. Though I think my time in the academy made me a much better seated officer than I once was. I still have my fun of course, but I am alot of effective at getting things done than in the past."

As she would think back to how she would throw all of her work on Toshiro. Well not all of it, but an amount that she's ashamed of now. She wished she would've gotten a little more serious sooner and she may not have been eclipsed like she had.
