''You are still such a hard worker... I am glad that you just told me that the other lieutenant isn't that hard to get along with.. The only thing I heard about him on the Academy was that he has a high pride and that he acts a bit like a goofball so now and then'' Hana said after he had spoken and had helped her dusting off. ''You know, this kind of meeting reminds me of the first time'' she said and looked at him. She sure had missed him. ''Shikai?'' She asked and looked at the air like she was thinking hard. ''Nope.. I don't need help now with it, and also not this afternoon?'' she said. ''I rather drink some sake and listen to your flute playing this afternoon.. If I do not have to work of course'' she said, she started to slightly blush as she said: I've really missed them.. No body was able to play flute like you did''. She didn't mention what he just said about memories of his life, if she would, they would get a deep conversation and this was not the time for that. 

At that moment, a red haired young man came along the corner. ''Aah! Arashi-san.. How are you? And how is Captain Ukitake?'' he asked. He looked at Arashi with a grin and then his eye caught Hana, he looked amazed. ''Are you Kaori-chan?'' he asked. ''I am Kaori Hana yes... But I am not a chan'' she said and crossed her arms. ''Well.. Your not sama eather'' Renji said. ''Oh duh.. But just say san... Peanut head'' she said and turned her back to him. ''I am the lieutenant here'' Renji said. ''So your Abarai Renji.. Your not the only lieutenant anymore'' she said. ''I am gonna show you around I guess, and then show you where you can find the Captain and were your room is'' Renji said. ''Ok..'' Hana said and looked at Arashi, her frown turned back to a smile. ''Sake, at the end of this afternoon it is then?'' she asked him. She saw Renji raise a brow, like he wanted to say that, that isn't the way to ask someone out. But this was not going to be a date, more a way for friends to share story's after a long time not seeing each other.
