Yuzu was a quiet girl. After her graduation ceremony she returned to her father's house with the goat and Karin, where they changed clothes and went to celebrate Yuzu's graduation with a nice meal before the academy's fireworks display. Then goat hurried her home before the parties started.
Yuzu went to bed pouting, thinking about sneaking out. Karin had come for the night, so Yuzu whispered the contents of her conversation with Ichi-nii in the darkness. Then she lay there trying to fall asleep.
She was worried about Bucket-Han-san. He'd started leaving bucket hats for everyone, usually striped green like his own. People were starting to talk.
It could be sort of funny, the one he'd popped onto Captain Soi Fon was too big, but he'd taken that into account and carefully cut a pair of eyeholes on the front. The tiny captain (and Yuzu knew a thing or two about tiny) had stood there glumly, peeking out the eyeholes and hadn't even bothered pulling the hat off before she slowly shuffled away.
That had been the final straw – the soul society burst into civil war, the bucket hats of Urahara taking to the streets against the straw hat forces of Captain Kyoraku – no one had even known he'd been gathering forces until Captain Zaraki was seen, straw hat slammed down so hard and fast that his spikes burst through the top. Bucket-Hat-san was attempting to start the great hat war for some devious reason of his own - when the time came to choose sides which side would she be on?
Straw hats did look nicer with her yukatas. But Karin had taken to the bucket-
It could be sister against sister, twin against twin.
No one would give goat either kind of hat because he was the goat.
What side would the captain commander come down on? Would you be allowed any weapon other than your hat? The straw hats were more delicate than the bucket hats – if you beat someone with a straw hat you'd have to buy a new one, but the bucket hats would stand up to a few beatings-
Captain Kurotsuchi had tried to recruit his own force, but only Nemu was willing to join – she looked silly. Who would fourth division side with? Vice Captain Ise, would she side with her own Captain?
Probably not.
Yuzu woke up.
And thought about all of this.
Then she went back to sleep.
It had been a very strange dream.
