It's been awhile(Rangiku/Momo)

"Truthfully? It's pretty rough. Don't tell anyone I told you that though. I'm not sure how far it's gotten out about how rough we've had it. We're still even on lockdown. The only way I can leave the soul society is by getting sent out on a mission, and as soon as its over I have to come back."

She'd speak truthfully with her friend. It felt good being able to admit it to someone. She doesn't really want to talk like this around the barracks because she doesn't want to mess up the moral for the division. As she would sip at her tea she would begin to think of something. Would Momo take her on as a student to learn kido better? She hadn't been able to achieve bankai so she's been studying about different ways to push her strength forward.

"Momo, could I make a simple request from you?"

As she would wait for the response her question ran through her head. Had her and Momo lost the closeness they once had? would the woman say no to the training? She didn't think so because out of everyone in the gotei she was one of the ones that Momo decided to stay friends with. Not that Rangiku gave her much of a choice, but that's besides the point.

Rangiku would think about the word nightmare. Did she consider the situation in the gotei unfavorable? Without a doubt, but did she consider it a true nightmare? Not really. This was mainly because in her mind this brought her back to the place she felt she belongs a little more. Teaching gave her a reality check, and she truly did enjoy it. She just couldn't fight the feeling that she was back home.

"I'm not sure if I'd call it a nightmare. I....think I feel like somewhere I belong. Teaching was fun, but it's a little hard to explain. I think that I feel at home in my position. A little more than I ever have.... Sorry for rambling."

She'd apologize as she didn't want to sound like she was discounting Momos feelings. Her complex feelings of the gotei made alot of sense, and who wad Rangiku to even question those feelings at all? She was just giving her perspective on the situation. After that though she would make her simple request. She wanted to be my taught some more kido. She was a little above average at it, but she wanted to be great.

"For that favor. I want you to teach me more kido. Feel like I need to improve on it."

Rangiku would finish her tea as she would nod. She had no problem at all helping Momo train some more. she figured that some of her other abilities had probably dulled in her time not really fighting. She was always much better than Rangiku at kido though, and she was really happy that the woman continued to hone her craft of kido. As she would sit the cup down she'd speak out some more.

"Alright, I'd love to train with you again. For old times sake it could be really fun. Maybe we should invite Toki along as well. It's been a bit since I was able to train with him either."

As she would scoot her cup closer to Momo hoping she would give her some more tea. The tea was awesome, so she was hoping for some more. As she would wait a bit patiently she would tap her feet happily. she really enjoyed spending time with her friend, and a part of her wished that she would come back to the gotei. Although she knows that's an extremely selfish thought for her to have.

"Toki is doing well though. I told him I was coming over to see ya, so I thought you'd like to know he's still on the straight and narrow. He declined a Saturday drinking with me and some of my officers though."

She'd smile at the thought of the young boy she helped raise being a seated officer. She knew that he would be talented, but she was just glad that he didn't didn't have a resentment for the gotei. She knew that he may have a hard time if people found out who his parents were. However, now he's making a name for himself. Hell maybe he'll even pass where his father and ichigo had been able to reach.

"Yeah, I'm proud of him to. Even if he won't come and drink with his auntie Rangiku. It'll be alright. Us 3 should definitely get together soon though. Could spend a day or a few hours together for old times sake."

She'd speak as she did really want them to do this. She had already brought up the idea with Toki, and it shouldn't be too incredibly difficult for her and Toki to get off at the same time. If Rangiku was able to finish her stuff up early then Toki definitely should be able to do so.

Rangiku would stand up and pull Momo into a hug at the self depreciation. She knew that some people have that type of humor, but with all of what Momos been through she didn't want to hear her speak like that. A part od hearing it hurt her heart, but she would allow herself to let go of the woman before ruffling her hair.

"You shouldn't talk like that Momo. You're doing what's best for you. To he'll with what anyone else thinks."

As she would hear the second question she would smile inwardly at Ranma asking for higher level kido training. Seems like he was going to be trained in that regard. It's good to know for any sparring that they do in the future, but she would then answer her.

"Uh I just want to be able to use the rest of the spells. I can get to about 60 without having trouble but anything after that is inefficient and doesn't work properly."
