Hello, this is my first fanfic. As stated, this isn't Byakuya's wife Hisana, but my OC. It's fairly easy to guess why I named her Hisana once considering that The character is Ichigo and Rukia's daughter. I'm not the best writer but I think at least a few people might enjoy this...hopefully.

Chapter 1: Important Day

The air was calm as spring started to take prominence in the climate of Soul Society. This was an important day in the Seireitei because it is the day that Shino Academy was to hold this year's entrance examinations to all those who aspired to be shinigami. Since the blood war with the quincy ended, the Gotei 13 was left in a greatly weakened state of only a third of its number remaining and everyone was relieved when the flood of new recruits started to flood in. Now the main branch of Soul Societies military is larger than it ever had been in the past with nearly ten thousand members, more than three times its size at the start of the blood war.

Beyond this, a great many changes had come to the governing of Soul Society. One of the most notable changes being that living conditions in Rukongai, and even in the outer most districts have vastly improved. While districts seventy to eighty are little more than slums, in many cases, even the poor now can at least afford footwear. Then beyond that you have the lowest numbered districts which are now only a couple of notches below Seireitei.

Furthermore, the Central 46 no longer has absolute control over all rulings, and captains have the power to confront and challenge edicts by the Central 46. On top of that the very form of the Central 46 has changed. It is no longer composed of only old nobles, but also has younger nobles and even a few former officers from the various divisions of the Gotei 13 apart of it now. All of these changes were made possible by the iron will of Kurosaki Ichigo the Substitute Shinigami.

Byakuya Kuchiki was walking down the corridor of his family estate when he stopped at a single door. "Hisana, if you do not hurry you will miss the exam" he said in a calm voice. Just then the door opened a stood a young women, she looked to be about in her mid teens by human standards. She had soft, smooth, and slightly pale skin. Her eyes were deep violet in color, and her hair was black, somewhat spiky, and went all the way to her knees. She wore a dark violet kimono with a design on them resembling cherry blossoms falling.

"Oji-sama, I'm sorry for the tardiness, but I'm ready now" Hisana declared trying to hide the embarrassment from her uncle.

"Very well, let us be on our way" Byakuya said with no hint of emotion.

"Um, where is everyone else?"

"Your parents were called out on an important mission early this morning."

"What mission?"

"I can't disclose any information, but they will be fine" He said, noting the slight worry in his niece's eyes. "Hinamori fuku-taicho will escort you to the academy."

"I don't need an escort."

"I was of the opinion you were on good terms with her."

"I do like Hinamori-san, but I just don't need an escort."

"Well, she is here already, so at least be courteous and accept her taking you. Remember, even though you are not of Kuchiki blood, you still are the current heiress of the clan unless circumstances change."

I know, I'm sorry Oji-sama." Hisana finished the conversation as they exited the Kuchiki manor and were greeted by Momo Hinamori.

"Good morning Kuchiki taicho, Hisana-chan" Momo said with a smile.

Hisana and Momo arrived at Shino Academy after walking together and talking about current affairs. Once they arrived, Momo said her goodbyes to Hisana and left to continue her division duties. Hisana promptly entered the academy doors full of confidence once Momo had left. This confidence however was nearly shattered once she saw the sheer number of people who had arrived to take the test this year and realized that the number of applicants was far larger than normal.

With her confidence broken, Hisana decided to just go about the process and find a place to sit and wait. Once finished with the paperwork, she went around the waiting room both trying to find a place to sit and also examining the competition. She noticed that most of them were from lower aristocratic families, but a fair number were also from what looked to be the worse off areas of Rukongai. Some of the people stuck out to her, such as a girl with green hair, and a young man with long blond hair, and even another guy with tattoos all over his body. As she was looking, she found an empty chair and went up to it and asked "excuse me, is this seat taken?"

The girl that Hisana asked told her that she was free and when Hisana was seated said "hello, I'm Riko Korimira, nice to meet you.'

"Nice to meet you too, my name is Hisana Kuchiki." Hisana said this while taking a good look at the girl she was now talking to. This girl had half back length light brown hair tied in a ponytail with matching eyes. From the look of her clothes, she looked to either be a Seireitei resident or from one of the better off districts.

"I'm from the second south district Niijin and from that beautiful kimono; I'd guess you're a noble."

"You'd be right."

"You don't seem like the other nobles I've run into."

"People say I have too much of my tou-san in me" Hisana managed to get out between giggles.

"Was he not a noble? He must be strong if he was allowed to marry into a noble family."

"Oh he is."

Just then, instructors came into the room. One of them declared to the entire room "Hello everyone. We are all here to determine whether or not you are fit to join this prestigious establishment that has cultivated shinigami for millennium. This test will not only let us know whether or not you are qualified to enter the academy, but also allow us to determine what class to place you in. There are two classes, the advance class and the regular class. Anyone who gets a certain level on the test will be admitted into the advance class. I do need to tell you though; most of you will not make it into that class. We will now call out your names and take you for the exams, so sit back and wait for your name to be called."

With that the instructors promptly started calling out names and it quickly became apparent that they didn't appear to be in any particular order. One by one the room started to thin out when names were called and no one came back after. Not long into it, Riko's name was called and Hisana wished her new friend luck as she waited for her own name. The room was nearly empty when she heard "Hisana Kuchiki."

So there you have it! The first chapter and our main character already has a new friend. Feel free to send me comments about how you feel about the story and if you have any thoughts or ideas about things that should happen, I'll gladly accept them. If I like your ideas, I likely could add them into the story.
