" Daddy! "

He looks up from his book to see his daughter, she was five. She had long black hair and onxy eyes, she wore a cute light blue dress and brown open toe sandles.

" Yes princess? "

" What's the day of the dead? "

" The day of the dead is a holiday celebrated in Mexico, each year on November 2nd. People gather around to visit the dead, they make little shrines for there love ones who are dead, and leave them little gifts like bread, cakes, and such. They believe the dead come they will come and see us as spirits, and appreciate the gifts they leave them, to pay Respect for them. In Mexico they have festivals in honor of the dead, why ask such a question? "

" Because at school they mentioned it "

" Really?, That's good then "

" Yeah "

" You ready to go? "

" Yeah! "

" Alright "

Shisui grabs a little box and they head towards the car.

They both stand in front of a shrine, it was a nice red and small. Both shisui and his daughter kneeled down, they look at the shrine and read the little writing on it.

Here lies a wonderful son, husband, brother, and father.
