The Four Noble Clans

Renji had no idea where this was going


Kimiko couldnt quite get it right she sighed in frustration

Hitohira placed her hand over his, "All you need to know is that i hold feelings for you" she chuckled.


Byakuya looked over, "With practice it will become perfect"

Renji half laughed 'you know how i feel'


Kimiko nodded looking slightly dejected 'yours is beautiful'

Hitohira nodded smiling.


"I have perfected it over years" Byakuya stated rather proud of himself.

Renji touched her face 'i just want to help you'


Kimiko smiled 'write something for me' she asked

"You have... so much already" Hitohira replied.


Byakuya did as asked and wrote something for her.

Renji stroked her cheek 'ill help you out all i can, anytime'


Kimiko watched what he was writing, more interested in the actual words than the writing

Hitohira nodded, "I will help you too"


Byakuya handed her the work the words said practice makes perfect.

Renji smiled 'you do'


Kimiko smiled slightly 'you must have practiced alot, because you are perfection'

Hitohira smiled happy she had helped him even if it was a little.


Byakuya nodded he really had.

Renji was unsure of himself, he wasnt sure what to do, he was nervous and it probably showed


Kimiko smiled even though he took it as his writing, she had meant at everything

Hitohira sat up, "How about we do something?"


Byakuya went back to writing. Though he did not smile it was clear he was happy.

Renji smiled 'what were you thinking?'


Kimiko resisted the urge to lean against his back and watched him, but she almost wanted too

"I do not know" Hitohira smiled, "But lets think of something" she was just making herself busy so she did not have to think of returning home.


Byakuya was happily doing this.

Renji laughed 'well i suppose we could eh... play cards or something?'


Kimiko moved slowly, unsure but she leaned against his back slowly, watching him work over his shoulder

"Cards?" Hitohira questioned she had never played with cards before she was thinking something along the lines of making tea or going for a walk.


Byakuya was not bothered by this if anything he liked it.

'i eh, dunno we can do anything you want to' Renji chuckled thinking she didnt like the idea


Kimiko slowly turned it into a hug, resting her head on his shoulder, and wrapping her arms around him

"No its just... i have never played cards before" Hitohira whispered looking down.


Byakuya stopped slightly.

'i eh play poker with the boys once a week' Renji chuckled 'i can show you if you like'


Kimiko was unsure if this was the right thing to do

Hitohira nodded smiling.


Byakuya got used to it and went back to writing.

Renji moved getting his cards


Kimiko suddenly whispered into his ear 'do you like this?'

Hitohira waited for him.


Byakuya nodded slowly.

Renji brought them over 'ever seen poker before?'



Kimiko gave him a gentle squeeze she hoped he wasnt lying to make her feel better

Hitohira shook her head in response.


Byakuya looked up at her, "How about that stroll?"

Renji started to explain how the game worked



Kimiko looked out of the window the sun was setting she nodded 'id like that'
