Yoruichi flashed over the rooftops of Karakura. It had been a long two months since she had heard any noise reverberating through the realms. Now the silence was fading. Las Noches had begun to stir, as well as the Soul Society. She knew that if they were going to emerge victorious in the next phase of Aizen's plan, they had to be ready.

She topped on one of the highest buildings and crouched low, glancing all around her, taking in the town's reiatsu and its on goings. The human world was still quiet, though she knew it wouldn't be for long. In the distance she picked up on Kisuke's, Tsukiro's and Kita's reiatsu in the shop. Juushiro was there as well, she noticed. All of them were sleeping. Satisfied, she turned and dashed off in an other direction of town. She would make one last round before heading back to the shop.

Tomorrow, she would wake Tsukiro for a quick training session. They needed to be ready.
