The Four Noble Clans

Unohana took her hands in hers and gently washed the blood from them 'we will have Soifon do a full investigation'


Kimiko smiled slightly 'only if you teach me Calligraphy' she was trying not to just do whatever he wanted though it was so tempting

Hitohira just nodded simply. She was all alone... they didn't even have elders to help guide her. Her brother was the only one she had.



Byakuya nodded, "Of course i will"

Unohana gently washed her face with a cloth 'this means you are head of the house now'



Kimiko smiled she was so happy he was trying with her she slipped up right there with her happiness 'i love you' she quickly realised what she had blurted out

Hitohira looked down she wouldn't be able to do it.


Byakuya patted her head in response he was a bit awkward about it. "Let me hear you play" though he looked up when a butterfly had came in.

Unohana patted her shoulder 'it will be solved'


Kimiko felt so belittled she knew it would happen, why had she blurted that out, she just couldnt hide her emotions

Hitohira wiped her eyes she would call off the marriage whether her brother wanted it or not she needed time to grieve alone.



Byakuya took the message and frowned, "Ichirou was found dead this morning"

Unohana stroked her hair 'come on lets get you somewhere more comfortable, so you want anyone in particular?' she knew she was to be married



Kimiko looked up snapping out of it 'what?'

Hitohira shook her head she would not go to Akito... who she wanted to go to would not be approved and that was Renji.


"He is dead" Byakuya sighed. "This means Hitohira will be the head of house"

'anyone' Unohana spoke softly 'you need to be with someone at this time'


'who would do such a thing?' Kimiko asked

Hitohira shook slightly, "Renji..." she whispered.



Byakuya sighed, "I do not know..."

Unohana stood up she didnt judge 'come ill take you to the sixth'



Kimiko closed her eyes 'we should offer our condolences'

Hitohira hung her head moving after her.



Byakuya nodded.

Unohana knocked on the sixths door and Renji answered looking confused 'eh....'




Kimiko didnt move 'we should give it time'

Hitohira was shaking but she didn't look up, "Renji... i need to talk to you" she whispered very quietly he was the only one she could talk to.



Byakuya nodded, "In the meantime let me hear you play to take our mind of it"

Renji opened the door fully 'come in, come in, anytime....'


Kimiko nodded slowly moving 'of course'

Hitohira sat down she was still crying. Her kimono was stained with blood and she was shaking.


Byakuya sat himself down to listen.
