Byakuya's Protection Force

Chapter 1- The Beginning

"Mom, where are we going?" Yumiko Shihoin said following her mother to an unknown destination. "I told you, Yumiko, me and your father have to talk to the elders about some important matters, so watch your sister for me, alright?" her mother, Mizuki Shihoin, said ruffling her hair. Yumiko was Yoruichi Shihoin's younger sister, but she was a little more mature than her. Actually, Yumiko was quite different from Yoruichi. Her skin was light like her mother's while Yoruichi's were as dark as her father's. Her hair was long and black while Yoruichi's were long and purple. Her eyes were a fiery red with a hint of orange in them while Yoruichi's were an elegant gold. Yoruichi was more like her father and Yumiko was more like her mother. But, they both can turn into black cats. That's one of the things that they have in common. But they were alike in some ways.

"Alright mom, are you going to talk to the elders about Yoruichi getting married?" Mizuki sighed.

"Yeah, but she's still against it, and we can't risk her knowing about this, that's why I need you to watch her, make sure she doesn't go near the manor today, alright?"

"Ok, but she can be real sneaky" Yumiko replied.

"And so can you, besides, she said that she's working on something really important, so it won't be that hard, right now, she should be in her division, you can flash step there, right?" she said confident in her daughters abilities. Yumiko was the 5th seat of the second division and an important part of the punishment force in the Onmitsukido. She was also considered a child prodigy in the soul society for making it so far at her age.

"Mom, of course I can" she said trying to remind her that she was trained by her sister.

"That's my girl" she said proud of her daughter.


She flash stepped all the way to her sister's office, sneaking in. Yoruichi was drinking a cup of sake.

"Yoruichi!" she called. Yoruichi jumped to the sound of her teenage sister's voice, dropping her cup.

"Yumiko! You scared the shit out of me!" Yoruichi said panting.

"You didn't detect me, how many cups did you drink?" she said looking at the 3 empty bottles of sake.

"Sis!" Yumiko yelled at her sister while taking away the bottle of sake Yoruichi was about to drink.

"Relax, I spilled those, the one I dropped was supposed to be my first one, you're just getting good at hiding you're presence, by the way I need your help with something"

"What is it?" she asked.

"Come with me" Yoruichi said standing up from her chair.

"Flash step?"

"Yup" and they disappeared.


They landed in front of the Kuchiki manor, Yumiko still clueless about why she was there.

"Why are we here?"

"Well, I've been working on something"

"I heard, what's it about"

"The head Captain wanted me to form a group that's supposed to protect the young heirs of each noble clan, and I have to pick them out"

"Ok, then why don't I get a protection squad?" she asked.

"I get to protect you, but you probably won't need it, and I want you to lead a group"

"What? Why me? Get Kisuke to do it or something"

"He's already too busy, and besides, I think you'll get along with Byakuya-bo just fine" she said knocking on the big gates.

"Who's Byakuya-bo?" she asked while the big gates opened. Yumiko doesn't really know much about the Kuchiki clan, considering she's only been to the Kuchiki Manor twice.

Yoruichi grinned. "You'll see…"

There, appeared Captain Kuchiki with his hands behind his back.

"Captain Shihoin, Yumiko Shihoin"

"Hello, Captain Kuchiki" Yumiko greeted.

"Captain Kuchiki, I'm sure you've heard the head captain's orders for young heirs"

"Yes, I have, and I see that you have decided who will lead Byakuya's group, though I see no reason for Byakuya to be protected, he is fully capable of protecting himself, and is Yumiko not a young heir herself?" He said looking at her.

"Yes, Yumiko will be leading his protection squad, and the head captain has made an exception for Yumiko, I will be protecting her"

"I see, then I think that a proper introduction is mandatory, come in" he said letting them in.


Yumiko stood in front of a line of talented young soul reapers, like her, kneeling on one knee on the wooden floor, waiting to meet Byakuya in a room. As they were waiting, Yumiko wondered who this Byakuya would be and what he would be like. She wondered if he would be a really nice, or a really big jerk and cocky. You see, Yumiko was a bit more different than the other teenage girl shinigami. Yumiko doesn't really have an interest in boys. She doesn't care if they're handsome or not, she only judges them by their personality.

"Yoruichi, do I really have to do this?" Yumiko asked.

"Yup, besides, I think you'll really like him"

"Yoruichi, you know I'm not like that"

"Who knows, maybe you'll change your mind" Yoruichi said grinning. She knew about her sister and how she judges people. She actually doughted that her sister would gain an interest in him, considering his cocky personality and how he hated Yoruichi, she didn't think that he would like her back because she was related to her. But she still hoped. Yumiko just sighed, worried about what her sister was planning.

"Grandfather, where are we going?" a kind of deep-boyish voice said.

Here he comes… Yumiko thought.
