It was a beautiful, peaceful day in Soul Society and Rukia Kuchiki was reading a horror manga, until…
"Oi, Rukia !" shouted Renji who seemed to be happy for some reason.
"What, Renji ?" asked an annoyed Rukia.
"You have an assignment with taichou, it'll start tomorrow. The mission will take place in the World of the Living." Renji answered.
"Okay…?" Rukia silently closed her book and Renji shunpo-ed away. I'm going on a mission with Nii-sama ? Rukia thought, then she quickly went back to the Kuchiki manor to prepare for tomorrow. "Okay I have clothes, soul candy, Chappy, toothbrush, toothpaste, what else is there ?" Rukia said talking to herself.
Later on when it was dinner time, Rukia walked to the dining area and saw her brother. It seemed as if he was waiting for her. "Rukia are you ready for the mission ?" the noble head of the Kuchiki clan asked as he began to pick up his spoon and fork. "Hai, Nii-sama." Rukia replied as she bowed down to her honorable brother. Byakuya said nothing and began eating, so did Rukia.
The next morning, Rukia found her brother who already prepared the gate and stared at her. "I'm sorry, was I late ?" she asked. "No, not at all. I was just early." Byakuya said in his usual monotone voice. Rukia felt disappointed and felt that she always made Byakuya mad, for once would it hurt just to smile ? They walked into the gate and appeared in Tokyo, Japan. "We're not in Karakura Town ?" Rukia suddenly asked to break the silence between her and her Nii-sama. "No, our mission is to get rid of some hollows in Tokyo. Our hotel is a 5 blocks around the corner. Let's get in the car." Byakuya answered. "Nii-sama…you can drive ?" Rukia asked in a surprised tone. "Yes, it's one of the things I learned before going to the real world." Rukia stayed silent.
