Yuka had spent today's meeting somewhat wrapped up in her own thoughts. Her chief distraction was the ongoing conflict among the noble houses over the controversial proposal to change certain laws regarding Hollows and Rukongai citizens. No matter how it was dressed up in pretty rhetoric, Yuka and the rest of the Mogami family were incensed to hear that other nobles were lobbying to treat other Souls so callously. The Mogami had naturally waded in on the side of the opposition to such changes, and were often among the more vocal opponents. While Yuka would have it no other way, it still made her worry; such conflicts could easily evolve into a broader political fight between factions. A house divided could not stand, and with the increase in Hollow activity, the Seireitei could ill afford such internal weakness. Try as she might, Yuka could not think of any way the conflict could be de-escalated.

Her concerns would have to wait, since it seemed she was to be sent out on assignment to Hueco Mundo. Being paired with Kounura was fair enough, but she had to wonder why they were being slapped with someone else's lieutenant. She would have expected either Karma, her own lieutenant, or perhaps Kounura's lieutenant, Kyogen. Either one would surely be better prepared to work with their superior, though Yuka was quite glad not to have Kyogen Akechi to deal with. Yuka could tolerate a great many weird and annoying personalities, but she couldn't stand someone as malevolent as Kyogen. But she wasn't the type to complain about such small concerns. She would be content in the knowledge Karma would be on hand to keep her division running in her absence at least.

Yuka witnessed Airi's request to the Captain Commander. Two things went wrong here; first, it seemed she had raised the Commander's ire a touch, and she ended up freeing Kyogen from her own mission. Only shortly after Kounura had approached her, he ended up asking them directly if they had anything to say. [color=aba000]"Ah, no sir, nothing on my end. I believe the two of us will be getting to work post-haste. Farewell, sir..."[/color] Kounura had already said she was eager to go, so Yuka assumed there would be no problem in hurrying the two of them out of the room. She didn't want to risk ticking off the Commander any more than he already seemed to be, and she didn't want to risk having Kyogen assigned to their mission. [color=aba000]"So, Yōki; any idea where we can find this lieutenant Osaka?"[/color] Yuka knew nothing of this other lieutenant, so she could only hope either Yōki knew him or that he would find the two of them on his own.
