The names are a bit confusing so Shiro (as in Koneko's mode) is just Shiro. The character Shiro is going to be stylized as Shirō for easy understanding.
Also this is Shirō

Shirō's eyes widen, but she easily recovered from her shock, "I never thought you would know my name... they hid it extremely well in the records." she reached her hand towards the large beast head carved in the wall before reaching in and presumably flipping a switch, "They usually call me Seiji, but Shiro is cuter. That's what I always thought."
Koneko followed Shiro as a large room opened right in front of their eyes. It seemed like a whole new dimension in there, but as she thought about it made sense. How were they going to control the sheer power of a tailed beast after all? She cleared her throat before speaking, "Your little brother, Itsuo, told me about you." She smiled, "He really admires you-"
"Itsuo?" Shirō seemed to perk up at the sound of the name of her little brother. The happiness clearly reflected in her eyes, "How is he? Is he okay?" She worryingly spoke, afraid of any answer that Koneko would give her.
She laughed at the worried sibling, "He's fine. He's gotten a lot stronger and even has a boyfriend!" she thought for a moment, "He doesn't stay with Takara anymore, so that's always a big plus."
"A boyfriend...huh?" Shirō looked away and Koneko cringed. Was she going to react weirdly? A small sob came from Shirō, "I'm sorry I don't like crying in front of anyone... I'm really happy he has someone to love." She quietly spoke, wiping away her tears.
Koneko's heart warmed at the sight. She really loved Itsuo and Shirō's sibling relationship and thought it was really pure. If only things turned out a big different for them...
Finally turning around to face Koneko once again, Shirō cleared her throat and sat down and invited Koneko to join her, "We must summon Hironori's manifestation. He's the only one who can fully explain how to harness his power. Well... there's always someone else, but she never got as close as you." Shirō thought, eyes closed, "Her name was Misaki Kessho, but she was taken away before she could have properly done anything. She unlocked his power for someone else's use at the bare minimum."
Koneko was silent, "She was my mother... however I knew her as Misaki Uchiha." She looked at Shirō with a sadden look in her eyes, "She's dead. She was murdered in the Uchiha Massacre. I inherited Hironori's power, though that was already obvious."
Shirō looked almost disappointed in herself. She didn't know Misaki personally, however she admired her strength and control, "The Kessho Massacre happened for a reason." she muttered, "But all I know is that it's connected with the Uchiha Massacre."
