It was a sunny day, like every other day, the sky was clear and the birds flew over the plantation. It had been a year since Everyone with Spiritual pressure were working together on this plantation. Knowing that at the end of the day, they will be in pain. The strong became weak, being threatened to kill someone they love, by the man they now call "Master". The Master was a cruel man, and so was his wife and older daughter, but the youngest two children weren't cruel at all, but actually hung around with the Slaves.


" Ruki-Ruki!" A girl shouted, It was the youngest child of the master, Her name was Mietsuko. She Ran barefoot on the soft, fertile soil. Rukia Looked up slightly, hearing the name, and began to smile only a little knowing who it was. " Ruki-Ruki!" Mietsuko shouted again with a large smile on her face, " Oh, Hello Mi Mi.." Rukia said. Mietsuko smiled at her as she skid to a stop, " Have you seen Shinji?" She asked, she was excited since Shinji promised her something the last time she saw him. Rukia stood up straight and tapped her chin, " I believe he's working in the corn field today.." She answered. Ichigo looked over and sighed, " You better be careful though Mimi. Everyone in the corn field is being watched today..." He said. Mietsuko looked at Ichigo and nodded her head.

" Tank you Carrot top!" She said as she ran towards the corn fields. Ichigo's eye brow twitched a bit, as Rukia giggled softly. Once Mietsuko ran off, Rukia and Ichigo quickly went back to work. The young girl ran as fast as she could, hoping that she could get to where the Visords were working. She then saw Hachi up ahead. " Hachi!" She called out as she jumped onto him. " Hm? good after noon lady Mietsuko." Hachi said. Mietsuko smiled at him, " Good after noon!" She said as she climbed onto his shoulders and looked around. " Are you looking for Shinji?" Hachi asked. " Mmhmm!" Was her response. She then spotted Shinji and climbed down, " Bye- Bye!" She said as she ran towards Shinji's spot. Hachi waved bye to her as he went back to work.

Mietsuko, as you all can see was very excited. She was promised to learn how to figure out which corn would be good to harvest. " Shinji!" She shouted, Until she was grabbed and her mouth was covered. Her eyes widened slightly. " Shh..." Was what she heard. She looked up slightly to see Kensei. He wasn't even making eye contact, or even looking at her! He was just looking through the corn. Mietsuko removed his hand from her mouth as she whispered, " kensei-sama.." She peaked through the corn and saw Mashiro getting hit with a switch. ( A small tree branch and are painful when hit with.) Her eyes widened watching. " Work faster!" One of the men yelled, " We'll whip you if you don't work faster!" The other man yelled.

Mashiro had tears rolling down her face, having a few cuts on her cheek and arms. " O-Okay.." She stuttered, but when she spoke, that only got her another hit to the arm. She held back the cries of pain. Mietsuko didn't like seeing anyone get hurt, it made her sad. But to Kensei, it pissed him off. He wanted to protect her, but at a cost. If he runs over right now, he would either get whipped in front of everyone at the end of work, cause everyone to work until midnight or tortured by the master himself. But because He is a bit stubborn, he took his chances, " Run and do not look back!" He told Mietsuko. He let go of her and ran over to Mashiro quickly. Before Mashiro was hit again, Kensei punched one of the guys in the face.

" Kensei!" Mashiro said as she turned around. Mietsuko watched instead of run like she was told, her eyes still wide, tears in her eyes, but haven't fell down her face yet. the man that was punched fell to the ground, but the other man, punched kensei hard, causing the weak visord to fall to the ground, holding his jaw. The man who was hit got up to his feet and kicked Kensei hard in the side. " We're taking him to the barn, you better keep working!" He said to Mashiro. Both of the men stood up and dragged Kensei to barn where all the slaves that need to be whipped at the end of the day go. Mashiro cried, and fell to her knees, "KENSEI!" She cried out. Mietsuko sniffled, she backed away until she bumped into none other than Shinji.

Shinji looked down at her, " Hey~ Mietsuko~" He cooed. Mietsuko looked up had him, tears falling. Which caused him to frown. He gently picked her up shakily, since he was still in pain from all the hard work from Yesterday. Mietsuko hugged him tightly, tears finally rolling down her face, " Where are they going to do to Kensei-sama?" She asked him. Shinji looked through the corn seeing Kensei be dragged away and a crying Mashiro. He didn't want to scare her, so he made a Stupid, but funny face, Which actually made Mietsuko giggle. " There we go!" He said. then set her down and wiped her tears away with his sleeve. " They took Kensei... to um.. go take a bath! He always smells bad! and those men didn't like that!" He told her, and she believed his lie.

" Oohhhh!" Mietsuko said, cheered up now. Shinji knew that telling her the truth would crush her mentally, so lying to her was what he had to do. " Are you going to teach me to harvest now?" Mietsuko asked. Shinji looked at her and ruffled her hair, " Tomorrow i will.. It's getting late, and your mom would get worried about you.. plus, that cat woman Yoruichi is waiting for you so she could get you home before the bell rings.." Shinji said. Mietsuko nodded her head, frowning only a little, she looked up at him and held out her pinkie finger, " Pinkie swear?!" Shinji hooked his Pinkie onto hers, " Yeah... Pinkie swear.." He said. Mietsuko smiled wide. " Yay! Bye Shinji!" She said as she ran off. Shinji watched her as his smile faded. Kensei... what did you get yourself into...
