Izumi ~ Shunsui's mother.

It was around the 20th century when the family Ukitake lived in the country side of Japan.
The old Lord Toushirou Ukitake died a few years back. His widow Akemi now ruled her family with the so called iron fist in a velvet glove

She had to her big regret only two children, Haruki and Izumi.
Both were wonderful children though.
They both inherited their father's silver hair and Haruki had his green eyes while Izumi her eyes were as grey as from her mother.
As they grew up many heads turned to take a second look at the young lord and lady Ukitake.
Many young men and women from all ranks hoped to make chance at one of the Ukitake siblings.
Izumi however was very picky and married a guy who no one ever seen before.
Haruki however married at the age of 18 after he got his 16 years old girlfriend pregnant.
Miyu was not even from nobility; her grandmother was the governess was Haruki and Izumi.

Lord Toushirou and Lady Akemi had no other choice than to let them marry even if Miyu was not the perfect match in the eyes of the society.
She was a shy and timid girl but very well mannered and she adored her husband.
She had midnight black hair with light green eyes.

Haruki and Miyu got 6 kids together. Jyuushirou the eldest was a copy of his father qua looks but had his mother's gentleness.
Saki was next to Jyuushirou the eldest and Sayuri was the baby of the family as youngest. She was a female version of her eldest brother.
They also had 3 boys who just like Sayuri, inherited their mother's dark looks.

Izumi married at the age of 20 to Kazuki Kyoraku, an elderly man who was very calm and thoughtful, which balanced out her impulsive and playful nature.
Shortly after their marriage she got pregnant and her son who she worships was born.
They named him Shunsui.

The new generation grew up together.
Shunsui and Jyuushirou were practically brothers despite the age gap of 4 years and also the fact they changed like night and day.
Shunsui had a pair of grey eyes and brown curls. He had his mother's character.
Jyuushirou had his dad's looks and his mother's kindness and timid side.
Together those boys were more than half of the time up to mischief.
Genryusai Yamamoto, their godfather and home tutor, often told their parents that before he met the boys, his hair and beard were black but in the few years he spend with them, his hair fell off and his beard turned white.
To Jyuushirou it always was Sensei but Shunsui called him what people would consider disrespectful, YamaJi.

It was a windy day in January when he heard his dad talking on the phone.
There was nothing new about that since his dad had his own company which he ran together with his business partner Rei Unohana.
"Dad?" Jyuushirou called softly as he saw his father lean his forehead against the wall.
Haruki turned around. "Jyuu..."
The child took a glass of water for him and waited for him to calm down.
"Rei-san went missing...the plane he was on crashed but they didn't find his body..."
Jyuushirou didn't need to know more. He knew his father felt guilty because he send Rei to Brazil to sign the new business deal. His thoughts traveled to Rei his daughters Retsu from 12 and baby Nanao from a few months.
Rin Unohana died at the birth of Nanao 6 months ago but Rei worshiped his daughters.
He had met Retsu a few times at parties and got along well with her. Shunsui loved teasing her though.
"Dad, let's go to Retsu-san and her sister to tell the news. They are probably just at home with their governess"
Haruki nodded. "That's the least I can do for my best friend."

Jyuushirou looked admiring at Retsu who stayed very calm under the news of her missing father. Of course she cried a bit but she didn't become hysterical nor did she blame his father.
"I suppose this means that we will be in an orphanage until my father is found?" Retsu questioned.
Haruki shook his head. "No, I will not allow that. You will live with us. Miyu will be delighted to have two other daughters."
The governess took everything calmly and thanked Haruki for paying her before leaving.
Jyuushirou took Nanao out of her crib while his dad put most important things of the girls in his car.
A pair of blue eyes looked up to him and he even got a smile.
"She is beautiful ne?" Retsu went to stand next to him and stroked Nanao's hair.
He nodded. "She looks like you."
Retsu got shy and quickly grabbed a few toys from Nanao and walked to the car.
Jyuushirou stared pondering at her back. She was different... he wondered if she wanted to become his friend.
