Rangiku was giggling softly at them when Hisagi motioned for her to get a move on. Quickly she stepped up to him linking her arms with his as he started to move forward. "Yes, I think we will have a wonderful time today." She looked to Nanao.
"So what else do you need for the baby, Nanao? Is it just clothing, blankets and other goodies you need?"

Nanao smiled at Rangiku. “I have the essentials, but I decided the other day that I wanted to make something special for her. I need a certain kind of fabric for that. But I won’t say no to more blankets, more little socks, and a couple stuffed animals.” She pushed her bangs out of the way. “What animal though?”

As they stopped at the merchant's stand with the stuffed animals Rangiku's eye caught a small stuffed Lamb. She smiled brightly and picked it up nuzzling it into Hisagi's cheek. "Lambs are cute. Soft and cuddly."
Hisagi drew back slightly as he looked at the lamb then past it at Rangiku and smiled. "Yes, it is cute, but not in my face."
"Aww," Rangiku pouted as she cuddled the little lamb into her cleavage. "You hurt her feelings she only wanted a little sugar from a handsome gentlemen."

Hisagi turned his head and started to scan through the other stuffed animals, "I, Um... yeah." He shook his head before looking at Rangiku, "It is a stuffed animale, Rangiku. How do you know I hurt its feelings?"
He looked towards Izuru with a "Help me" Face, a hint of red was still left on his cheeks.

Izuru chuckled shaking his head. "You're on your own here, Shuuhei." He then looked toward the stuffed animals himself seeing a white baby seal. "Here you go Nanao. Baby Seals are adorable. What do you say?"
Nanao took the seal from Izuru and found herself petting the fluffy fabric. "It is very cute." She lifted the seal up and rubbed its beaded nose against her cheek. "So cold and silly, flopping around....goofing around." She hugged it tight. Blinking suspiciously, she handed it to the merchant. Please wrap him up for me please." She looked to Izuru. "That was a good choice."
Izuru looked to Hisagi and shrugged when Hisagi rolled his eyes at him. "Looks like one Kira, zero Shuuhei." He chuckled lightly as Hisagi faked him out as if he were going to punch him in the arm.

On the other side of the street Kotaro and Kazue still scanned the area for their kitty. With all the people on the street that afternoon things were cramped and hard to even place their own selves in the mess. However, the girl was not the only thing Kotaro was keeping an eye out for.
With the two Soul Reapers on the street they had to be careful not to be noticed. Seen was one thing, but notice to where they draw their attention was another. The last thing they wanted was to have them approach them asking question they could not provide for them. At that point their game of hide and seek with their pray would be over. Kotaro nudged Kazue again as he watched the small group turn and enter a shop for baby items.

Kazue yawned before he was nudged, he turned his attention towards the soul reapers as they entered the shop. He shook his head as he looked at his partner, only to say one word, "Whipped." He made a whip action with his hand before shaking his head.
He then sight as he look upon the roofs, "Would it do any justice to get an aerial view? I mean. It isn't out of character for some Soul Reapers to do that." He scratched his head and look back at his partner for approval.

Kotaro shoved his hands in his pockets as they walked along again. "Normally when they are on the roof tops their looking for someone." He got a wicked grin and looked to his partner with a tilt of head.
"They are looking for someone." He laughed. "Us." The two chuckled as they took off to the roof tops quickly to see if they could spot their girl. Kneeling down Kotaro looked up the street Kazue looking the other way.
"Anything?" Kotaro question but before Kazue could answer Kotaro saw a blonde stepped out of dress shop down the street. "Bingo...here kitty, kitty, kitty..." Kotaro whispered with a soft chuckle, then pointed ahead of him as Kazue turned to see what he had found.

Meanwhile, in the store, Yumiko separated from the group to look at a display in another mirror. It was a cradle of dark wood with a vine of climbing roses carved into the headboard. Someone had tossed rose petals over light blue blanket on the inside, too. It showed a large sun fading into a river with butterflies flying around the edges. Yumiko chuckled quietly. “I don’t know if a child would sleep covered in the petals.” She picked up one of them. “It’s a pretty thought though.”

A gentle hand rested to her shoulder with a softly smile as Yumiko turned and looked at Izuru. "I don't mean to sound rude, Lady Ryouma, but its just to make it look appealing. Eye catching and maybe a slight sales pitch saying its would be like your child sleeping on a bed of roses." He looked around the shop and sighed as he watched the other two women run around gathering different things for their babies.
He chuckled softly. "I know you three are excited about having children, but maybe you three should have invited another lady along with you that has had children. So you would know what you needed and not spend money frivolously and on things you will never use." He picked up the blanket and slipped the covering sheet off the mattress, then pushed down watching it sink as it rose very slowly. He shook his head.
"This is a bad mattress to have your child sleeping on."

Yumiko nodded. “So I see. And I apologize. Maybe we should have done that. Though actually, I didn’t even know everyone was coming until the other day. Nanao made the plan and wouldn’t take no for an answer.” She looked to the cheap mattress in the cradle. “It may be more of a prop than the actual mattress you would buy with it. I was more drawn to the blanket and detailing than actual use. I already have a cradle at home.”
I was just drawn to the rose and the scene pictured on the blanket.
Yumiko spread her hand over her belly, letting the warmth temper the bittersweet moment. “Did you come from a large family, Kira-san? You knew to check the mattress. It made me wonder if you had any experience yourself.”

Izuru shook his head chuckling softly and spoke before he thought about his reply. "No, I went shopping a few times with Kita when she was pregnant with Sojiro. She taught me more than..."
He paused suddenly when he saw the look in Yumiko's eyes. He turned away and sighed deeply as his hand drew to his forehead. "Sorry about that Lady Ryouma. I was not thinking."

“It’s alright,” Yumiko murmured, continued to move her hand over her growing child and the growing love inside. Her hope. “It’s not something I can avoid. I know she’s pregnant again, and it’s with Vale’s child. How he even changed his name.” She blinked slowly, her lips firm, to keep the tears away. “For her.” She walked away from the crib and pulled down a white blanket stitched with flying birds. “I know that.”
She took a breath. "Besides, someone will start throwing books if you worry about it too much."

Izuru nodded slowly as he turned back to face her. "If you like the bed theme that much why not buy it? It is very lovely." He blushed a soft shade of pink when heard two girl giggle and whisper softly about him admiring and commenting on the baby items.
His hand lifted again as he rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle. "Its always nice to have two or more of everything for a baby, or so I have heard."

Yumiko’s smile grew, her eyes moist. “Thank you for the advice, Kira-san, but for now, I’ll leave it alone. Someone told me not to dwell on the past, and as charming as it is,” she folded the bird blanket over her arm, “it reminds me of too much. Perhaps… if I were to have another child…” Yumiko closed her eyes and laughed to herself, and then looked back at Kira. “Let’s look at the clothes.”
Just then Nanao found them.
