Rukongai, 78th district, Inazuri. On that warm spring day, every soul on the district stopped what they were doing to see a scene that was unusual, curious to say the least. In the middle of the road stood a young man. What was so uncommon about that young man? Well, for starters, he was a nobleman, and not just any nobleman, he was Kuchiki Byakuya, the man who shall become the 28th head of the Kuchiki family. Usually noble people avoided the rukongai like it a as the plague, which for them it probably was. So what was it that brought such a big name out here, in the 78th district no less? Some of them thought it was the girl he was talking with. Others thought it was impossible for that to happen. So they watched. None of them would dare to get closer so they could listen to their conversation, so they just watched.
"You, what is your name?" Byakuya asked
"Hisana, my lord"
"You know, it is rude not to say your surname when people ask your name." as he finished his sentence, the girl giggled "What is so funny? Are you making a fool out of me?" said the embaressed boy
"My apologies, my lord. It wasn't my intention to make a fool out of you. I have just realized how much we are different. You see, most souls here in the rukon district do not have a last name, and even when they do, only a few of them remember it. So I did not give you my last name because I do not have one."
The sad hint on the girl's voice told the boy how much the fact bothered her "I'm the one who should apologize. I was chastising you for being rude when actually I was the rude one. You have my apologies."
"My lord, please do not bow yourself. You have nothing to apologize for. I'm sorry I giggled. It was rude of me. That said, my lord, may I ask what someone such as yourself is doing in a place like this?"
"I'm looking for the werecat."
"Werecat, my lord?" she was beginning to think the boy in front of her had some sort of mental disability
"Shihouin Yoruichi, the second squad captain." saying that witch's name brought a bad taste in his mouth, but this girl was beginning to think he was crazy
"Lady Yoruichi was here a few minutes ago. I think she followed in the direction of the 77th district."
"Ok. You have my thanks." he said and took of running in said direction "Oh, and Hisana. I am going to think a surname for you. I will give it to you the next time we meet."
'If only you knew, my lord. If you knew of the things I have done in the past you wouldn't smile like that to me. You would be as disgusted of me as I am myself'
In the roof of the building across them, a black cat heard the entire conversation. A few decades later, a purple haired young woman gets the news of the marriage of the heir to the Kuchiki family and a woman from rukongai. 'Do they know? Maybe they do.'
