223 years in the past, when she was 7. Spring Time.

"Yua Sama!" I hear a voice call out in the distance. I quickly turn around. The wind blows finely through my long cherry blossom colored hair. "Yua... Sama" My brother hisses from his mouth clearly out of breath. "Yes Asahi?" I look down at my brother as bullets of sweat run down his forehead.

"Mama..." He huffs and Puffs, before he could sliver another word out I finish for him "Called? Lets go then" I giggle as I begin running down the rather steep hill as he follows along behind me trying not to fall forward. The breeze felt nice as it hits my face, my long elegant kimono blows in the wind along with my hair.

We make it back to our home and I see my mother talking to someone, their robe was black, and their hair was red, a crimson red. It was so... mesmerizing. "Ah there she is now" My mother greets me as I and my brother walk into the house, he kicks his shoes off while I neatly place mine in the proper area.

The crimson haired man turns and looks at me as I enter the house. I smile but he looks at me frightened, in fact he begins sweating and falls back. I look at him worried "Mama, what's wrong with him..." I worry as I begin stepping back. "S-such amazing spiritual energy..." He gasp, his lips were quivering.

"Yua, please step out the house for now" My mother requests as she looks at me with a sorry face. I nod and do as I'm told. "Sorry.." I bow before leaving. The man stands back up "He's quite tall" I whisper to myself. "I'd like her to use her power and become a soul reaper" I hear my mother speak even though we were quite far from each other.

The red haired man nods and responds but I can't hear him. He turns to me and my mother steps out the house walking towards me. She gets on her knees and looks at me in my eyes, what was going on?

"Mom, what's the matter?" I ask trying not to pester her too much. "You understand how mommy keeps saying your strong right?" I nod "Well I want you to go make a living off of that power, you shouldn't have to be stuck here with us" she begins tearing up.

"W-what are you saying..." My voice shakes "I want you to become a soul reaper" She croaks out before letting tears run, but there was no noise. "I-I understand, I want to make your guys happy" I smile which makes her feel better. She wraps her arms around me tightly, like it was the last time she was going to see me.

I say goodbye to my brother and my mother once more before the crimson haired man opens a portal and we walk through. On the other side was a world made of so many bright souls, I could feel them all as if they were talking to me. But the brightest one of all was the one standing before me, Mr Crimson Hair.

I begin looking around, identifying the different buildings, the beautiful blue skies, everything. "Theres people you need to meet so follow behind me" He demands and I nod. The people watching me walk past all step back as if a monster was coming through, I just put my head down.

We arrive to a long building, inside was many spiritual pressures, all seemed weak though. I walk in to see everyone's eyes turn on me "I assume that's her?" A brown haired man says looking at me. I grab onto the crimson haired man's clothing, this man's spiritual energy wasn't only strong but terrifying as well.

"What's wrong?" A white haired man ask smiling at me, it just made me grip onto his clothing even tighter. "Please, shes probably scared, shes still new here" A orange haired women steps towards me but then immediately stops. "What a strong spiritual pressure..." Oh no did I scare her too? I step behind the red haired man but she continues walking even though she was having a hard time.

She crouches down and smiles, her chest was directly in my face, I could barely pay attention to what she was saying. "You have such a beautiful hair color and it's so long" she smiles as she runs her fingers through my hair. "Your so pretty" I muttered. "Aw, I'm nothing in comparison to you though, whats your name?" She ask "Yua" I say stepping out feeling more comfortable "Such a pretty name for a pretty girl." I blush "My name is Mastumoto Rangiku, but you can call me Ms Rangiku." I nod

"I think she'd be perfect for the 6th or 3rd division" The brown haired man speaks, I didn't know what these divisions were but I kept quiet. I tap Ms Rangiku and she looks down "Yes Yua?" I look up at her "Are you on any of those divisions?" I ask but she shakes her head. "I am though, so don't worry" I look up at Mr Crimson hair and smile. "Would you like to be on Renji's division? I think it'd be a good fit for you" The brown haired man says once more and I nod.

"Mr Renji is your name?" I look back up, he looks the other way scratching his head "Yea, but you don't have to add the Mr part, makes me feel old" I giggle and nod. I look around at everyone, they were all looking at me, suck beautiful people in one room. How inviting.

A few minutes pass and everyone introduced themselves to me and I was now walking along side Renji to my sleeping quarters, I had on my new uniform, it was a little big but they said I'll grow into. I look into the sky, there was no Sakura Blossoms here like at home. Renji looks over at me as we enter the complex "Is there something bothering you Yua?"

I glance over at him the look down, the last bit of wind flows in my hair the falls to my side as we get deeper into the complex. "Back at home we had Sakura trees this time of year, but now they're gone, they brought me joy and comfort" Renji looks at me saddened. "Well, you can make your own joy here with us now and while you do that we can plant some soon" He says smiling, my face lights up.

We walk into a room with a bed and big window. "This is your room" Renji says standing in the door way as I walk in "Thank you for this, Renji, Mr Byakuya." Renji looks at me a little shocked "You sensed I was presnti?" I turn to see him now standing in the door way next to Renji "Yes, thank you" I smile, he just walks away. "I should get going, make yourself at home-" I run up behind him grabbing his clothing "Please don't leave yet"

"Whats the matter? Are you scared to be alone?" He ask looking at me, I shake my head "Please don't leave, what if you don't return?" I say trying not to cry, he looks at me with a face I could clearly read. My mother told him about my dad. "Here" he begins taking his hair out his pony tail and uses it to put my hair in high pony tail similar to his "If something ever does happen to me, you'll have this to remember me by, but I promise nothing will happen and I won't let anyone hurt you. Ok?" He says smiling confidently.

"Ok, Mr Renji" I smile wiping my tears away "Hey, I said just call me Renji" He smirks and then leaves.

Ok, Renji.
