Normal POV
Takeshi Hikari, who was just brought into Soul Society by soul burial, began to walk around Soul Society & found a small, dilapidated hut. She went in & sat down, staring out of the window, thinking about what had happened to her, before she died. She started weeping, wondering what crime she had committed to be killed.
[Flashback]
In the northern district of Japan…
"TAKESHI HIKARI!" Hikari heard her mother shout for her.
Hearing her mother from her room, Hikari knew that something urgent had happened. Takeshi Kimiko never called Hikari by her full name, unless something was up, or she was angry. Wondering what she had done wrong, Hikari immediately rushed down to the study room, from where she heard her mother's voice.
She was very worried when she went to the study room, especially since she saw her father, Takeshi Ryū, as he was supposed to be working that day. Hikari, the only child, wondered what had happened to make her mother so angry, & her father, to be at home early that day.
"Otou-san, Okaa-san" she greeted them, as she entered the study room.
"We have something to tell you. This was a huge shock to us. It is going to be shocking news for you too, so i suggest you sit down" Ryū told her.
After settling down, Ryū continued "You are not our child. But we did not adopt you either. You & our real daughter, Shoji Megumi, were mixed up at birth. Instead of getting Megumi, we got you & your real parents got Megumi. Although you are not our real daughter, we wish to keep you as our own, because we love you. We also wish to live together with Megumi. Are you comfortable with this arrangement?"
Hikari replied "Otou-san, Okaa-san, Megumi is your real daughter, & i do not wish to destroy your relationship with her. I am most willing to have her as my sister. When will she be coming?"
Ryū had smiled widely & said "I am delighted that you have agreed. She has arrived already. She is at the living room. Let us meet her!"
(A month later…)
Even though Takeshi Ryū & Takeshi Kimiko loved both their daughters equally, because of their bond with Hikari, they seemed closer to Hikari than Megumi. Although Hikari had taken a liking to Megumi, it seemed that Megumi was actually jealous of her "sister" as she seemed to be getting more of their parents' attention. Megumi became too jealous until one day, when Megumi was alone at home with Hikari…
"I am sorry, Hikari-chan. I didn't want to do this, but you seem to be getting all the attention from Otou-san & Okaa-san" Megumi said sadly, while walking towards her.
Hikari was baffled when she heard what Megumi had said. She was even more shocked, when she heard the sinister tone in Megumi's voice. It was something she had not heard from Megumi before. But she did not have much time to grasp the hidden meaning of Megumi's words as she soon felt something sharp pierce her stomach. She looked down, & saw a knife in her stomach. She could feel the hatred for her emanating from Megumi. She then realized that Megumi had stabbed her.
[End Flashback]
She continued weeping, not understanding the crime she had committed for her death. She had not destroyed or worsened Otou-san & Okaa-san's relationship with Megumi. In fact, she was secretly pleased that she had someone to call sister. She was also glad that her parents were reunited with their real daughter. She knew that her parents were glad too. But there was one person who wasn't happy at all - Megumi - instead, she was jealous.

Meanwhile, in Soul Society, Rukia's execution had been stopped & Aizen had just defeated Yamamoto-taicho in a fight before he escaped together with Gin & Tousen. As Yamamoto-taicho lay on the ground, covered in his own blood, his lieutenant, Chōjirō Sasakibe, rushed towards him.
"Sou-taicho!" Chōjirō-fukutaicho shouted, as he ran towards his captain.
"Chōjirō-fukutaicho, I know that I will not make it. Do not try to get Unohana Taicho here. It will be a waste of her time. Once I am gone, please call a meeting for all the Taichos & Fukutaichos. Ukitake-taicho of 13th Division will be replacing me as the 1st Division Taicho & also as the leader of Gotei 13. As for the 13th Division, promote Kuchiki Rukia as Taicho & do let Byakuya-taicho know that his sister is indeed capable of being a Taicho" Yamamoto-taicho forced the words out as blood spurted from his wounds, draining his body of it.
Chōjirō-fukutaicho replied "Sou-taicho, please do not say that. You will not…"
Before he could finish, Yamamoto-taicho, breathing his last, interrupted him.
"Just do as I say. This is an order!"

After the chaos had died down, & the shinigami had been healed, an emergency meeting was called to discuss the betrayal of Aizen, Gin & Tousen. As Rukia stepped into the meeting room, she gained several stares, since she was not of any high rank. However, she was soon ignored as Chōjirō-fukutaicho announced the start of the meeting.
Many were surprised to see Chōjirō-fukutaicho instead of Yamamoto-taicho. They all knew that Yamamoto-taicho was indeed very proud & refused to miss any meeting regardless of how important (or not) it was. Unohana-taicho decided to voice out her thoughts.
"What happened to Yamamoto-taicho?" she questioned.
"Sou-taicho…" Chōjirō-fukutaicho began, but he couldn't finish his sentence.
He just did not have the heart to continue. But he knew that he would have to tell them, so he tried again.
"Sou-taicho is…"
