Few weeks later. I dressed in a red kimono with a phoenix print across the whole kimono and a pure white obi with the help of a servant, and white soxs and black geta. Grabbed a few things and left to the Kuchiki Manor.

I was greeted by a few servants who brought me to the location of Captain Genrei Kuchiki. In the manor's private dojo. I bowed to him and he gestured the same. In a corner crouched down little Byakuya who was playing with a toy katana.

In order to pass the Shin'ō entrance exam. I had to know several things and do a few things. Which old man helped me with. I wondered why he offered to tutor me... Probably has something to do with my mother; She has a lot of friends from her younger days before she learnt about my father's liking of her.

He started by teaching me how to control my spirit energy and the basic knowledge for a soul. After the lesson Soujun rushed in he was very worried.

"Where did Byakuya go I can't find him?!" He asked.

Byakuya was not in the corner playing with a wooden katana anymore and the shoji door was open just enough for a toddler to pass through.

"He sneaked out. We have to go find him." I said to Soujun and his father.

We quickly ran out of the same door Byakuya escaped out of. Letting my instincts guide me I went to the gardens and there he was under a cherry blossom tree smelling the blossoms that fallen to the ground.

"Byakuya! Here you are! Don't run off like that! You scared your father!" I said kneeling down to him.

He turned to me and raised his cupped hands full of petals and giggled. He stuck a cherry blossom branch into my bun and hugged me. He was so kind like his father. I smiled at this adorable little creature.

Suddenly a not so adorable monster appeared from no where.

"What is a hollow like yourself doing here?oh, soul king... Are we not supposed to have tight security here?" I said.

"That doesn't matter. I have been here several months contemplating on eating that boy there..." It was a female hollow.

"Why don't you just go back to hueco mundo? That would be best for everyone and for yourself." I foretold seriously.

"For a soul reaper.... I think you are right about that." The shadowy hollow backed away and disappears from sight before Kuchiki senior and junior show up. I am not a soul reaper, Yet.
