It was another week before Oomaeda reported the girls' Spirit Energy to Soi Fon. As soon as she got news she rushed out of Seireitei as fast as she could, which ended up being in about 5 minutes. Then, she calmly walked over to Sayuri.
"Help us," they said together.
"What do you need?" Soi Fon asked.
"The scary man is coming. You need to help us. Please help us."
"Please don't run away when I ask this but are you afraid of Seireitei?"
"We do not want to go there. The scary man will go there."
"Who is the scary man?"
"A man as black as night wreathed in flames and darkness."
Soi Fon's eyes widened. This sounded serious if Sayuri was/were telling the truth.
"Can't really protect you unless you come in to Seireitei. I will do my best to take care of you there if that's what you really want."
The girls blinked and Soi Fon realized that every move they made was identical as if they were looking in a mirror.
"We will go to Seireitei but please protect us," they said slowly but passionately.
Soi Fon nodded. "Okay, let's go."
After that, Sayuri would only ever answer to Soi Fon no matter what. They followed her around tirelessly and their speed actually allowed them to keep up pretty well. The third day that they were there, Yamamoto asked to speak to them.
"Hello, Sayuri. I have some questions. Will you answer them?" he asked as kindly as he could.
As one, the girls looked at Soi Fon, who nodded and so they said.
"Okay."
"This world of nothing that you told Soi Fon about, what is it?"
"It is a world with nothing except what we want."
"Where is this world?"
"It is inside of us and we make it come out."
"Is there anyone else there?"
"No, our world is our own. Her world is her own."
"So there are other worlds."
"Yes."
"Do they come from you as well?"
"No, but we can see them and open them."
"Can you o-"
"We're sleepy. Can we sleep?"
Yamamoto looked at Sayuri as they yawned in unison and said, "Soi Fon, take them to sleep somewhere I will ask them more questions tomorrow. Come back after you have put them to sleep."
"Yes, sir."
Soi Fon put the girls to sleep, gently petting their hair and humming under her breath to calm them. They were asleep in seconds. As soon as they dozed off, she went back to the Captain Commander.
"I want you to ask the girls about the scary man and see what you can find out. If what they tell us is true we may be in danger."
"Yes sir."
"Report anything of interest back to me."
"Yes sir."
"Dismissed."
