Chapter One

The Walk Home

The one burning day,

When all turned to ash,

I found a flower in my hand....

-"Dear My Love" by Amaya Arashi-

They walked through the gate with thier heads held high. The were, in fact, nobility, and nobility looked up to no one. At least that's what they were taught.

Shitteiru was in front, wearing a purple and grey flowered kimono that matched her naturally dark purple hair. Her blue eyes held a silver pupil with a purple outline, shining with her great knowlege.

Flanking her was Mikoi and Okottami. Mikoi wore a white and orange kimono, also matching her hair as Okottami's red and white one matched her own hair. Mikoi's pupils were orange as Okottami's were red. Pink surrounded Okottami's eyes as purple engulfed Mikoi's. Mikoi's expression looked rather glum as Okottami's was it's usual angriness.

Skipping behind then was Taiyoke. Like the others, her green and white kimono went well with her green hair and her hand were formally up her sleeves. She smiled brightly at the Shinigami as she walked passed them. The pupils of her bright eyes were a dark purple surrounded by dark green.

In the very back walked Saisho. She was the only one with a blue and black kimono instead of grey or white. Her hair was raven blue with a black tint. Her eyes were blue and purple, her skin paler than snow.

The two things all the girls had in common was the reason mostly staring at them.

One was, each and every one of the girls bore a distictive mark.

Taiyoke's extended from the outer edge of her right eye. Five slightly curved line ran into thier own "x" on her cheek and forehead. A continuance of that mark traced the center of her neck like a choker. The whole mark in itself was green and black.

Mikoi's was similar to Okottami, Shitteiru and Saisho's in the fact that it swirled around her left eye and neck. However two slightly curled from the other side of that same eye, the color of orange and purple. Okottami's and Saisho'smark was similar, both curling from the edge of the left eye and around the neck.

Shitteiru's was the most elaborate. The purple and pink marks not only went from the edge of her eye and around her nck, but swirled up from her chin as well. It formed a sort of heart there.

But, the other, was something no one could see at the moment, because each of the girls had thier bangs hanging over the eye that didn't bare that mark.

The opposite eye that bore the mark of thier family nobility, was a dark, blood red. The pupil was deep purple lined with silver. Only they knew, that the certain part of that eye, was compouded with thier families blood.

Because they were of Shinihime decent. They, themselves, were the only five Death Princesses left.

(-_-)

Okottami growled as they walked towards the 1st Division of the Seireitei.

"Be nice, Oko." Saisho said lightly.

Oko looked around the Shinigami violently as they walked through the 11th Division.

"What're you looking at?" She demanded of a skin-head with a questioning look on his face. "What'd you say, you little brat?" He said with a vicious look on his face.

"You heard-"

"Oko." Mikoi touched her sisters shoulder. "There's no point."

Oko glared over her shoulder at her before continuing to walk.

"He looked at me wrong." She muttered.

"Oko, you're going to have to get used to it." Saisho told her.

"Yes, these people are different than us." Shitteiru said. "They aren't accustomed to the way we look."

"I don't give a damn, dork." Oko said.

"Ugh, when can I get out of this kimono?" Mikoi whined. "It's so hot."

"But you look pretty!" Tai smiled at her.

"It's meaningless." Mikoi sighed.

"Everything's 'meaningless' to you, emo kid." Oko snapped.

"Remain calm, Okottami." Shitteiru told her.

" 'Remain calm?' " Saisho raised an eyebrow. "Since when was she calm in the first place?"

"Smart ass!" Oko glared at her over her shouler.

"Oko, will you please calm down?" Saisho asked. "We're almost to the 1st Division."

(-_^)

Yamamoto stood at the head of the room with the Captains in line in front of him.

It was just a normal Captain's meeting on a nice Monday afternoon. At least, it was. until Yamamoto detected a strong spiritual pressure approaching. Him being so old and experianced, he was the only on that could feel it. And it was...faintly familiar.

The door to thier meeting opened, startling the Captains.

And then they walked in.

The five girls with the distictive marks of the long-lost noble family.

"Captain-Commander of the 13 Protection Squads." The one with purple hair spoke up in a knowlegable voice. "We are the noble daughter of Shimo and Muzukashi Shinihime."

Four of the girls formed a line in front of the remaining one, drawing thier sheathed Zanpaktou's from thier belled sleeves. They each got on one knee and bowed thier heads with thier Zanpaktou's beside them before introducing themselves.

"I am Mikoi."

"I am Shitteiru."

"I am Okottami."

"I am Taiyoke."

The last and final sister stepped gracefully between Shitteiru and Okottami. She drew her own katana from her sleeve and held it by her side.

"And I am Saisho, head of the Shinihime family." She smiled. "You can call me Sai. I have come here today to take my rightful place as the Captain of the 3rd Division."

There was a short silence as the Captains stared in awe at them, before Yamamoto spoke.

"I began to wonder when you would return." He said. "You are aware, that your family has been accused of comitting treason?"
Shitteiru lifted her head and rose to a standing position.

"Sir, with all due respect, if anyone in our family has comitted treason, it would be our parents." She said.

"And I will not allow you to insult my family name." Sai stepped forward.

"Who do you think you are, talking to the Captain like that?" The 6th Division Captain asked.

"Byakuya Kuchiki, you've grown since we last played." Sai smiled at him. "Tai, please come here."

Tai obeyed before walking up beside her sister. "Yes?"

"Do you remember this man?" She grinned.

"Oh, yes." She smirked. "Very well, indeed."

"What are you talking about?" Byakuya looked up coldly.

"A long story, really." Sai sighed before looking up at Byakuya with narrowed eyes. "The point is, Byakuya, no matter what treason my family has comitted, I will not have the likes of you speak to me that way."

"I beg your-" Byakuya began angrily.

Ukitake put an arm in front of him, not allowing him to move.

"Byakuya, she's right." He said.

"What are you talking about?" Byakuya demanded.

"These girls are from the 'Death Princess' family." He told him. I see your grandfather never told you about them. Well, then I'll tell you."

There was a moment's pause.

"2000 years ago, when the Gotei 13 were first started, the grandmother of these young ladies, Karuiuta Shinihime, was amoung myself, Kyoraku and Unohana as one of the first Captains. She was the Captain of the 3rd Division. Upon her death, it was decided that her heir to the Shinihime family would there-on-out eventually become the Captain of the 3rd Division. But... A thousand years ago, Central 46 decided that the Shinihime heirs were too powerful to let live. But thier sights were mostly set upon the young daughter of Shimo Shinihime, then the Captain of the 3rd Division. She was their first-born, and the most powerful amound thier five daughters. Her name... was, and still is today, Saisho Shinihime."

Sai smiled and waved when everyone's eyes diverted to her for a moment.

"In result of thier fear for her, they ordered the legendary Murasaki Akai (Purple Red) daughters , Shimo-dono and Musukashi-dono did what any worried parent would do. They packed up and ran."

Ukitake looked directly at Byakuya. "Also, before thier leaving, the Shinihime family was the 1st noble family, as the Kuchiki was the second. Upon thier departure, the Kuchiki were bumped up to the first spot."

Byakuya's wide eyes stared at the girls, confused. As Byakuya wasn't easily confused, this confused him even more.

"So." Sai looked up at Yamamoto. "What will you do, sir? Will you allow us to fight by your side?"

"Wait." Mikoi stood.

All other four of the girls gasped, wondering why thier shy sister was now capturing the attention of the whole room.

"I would like to say one thing." She continued, keeping her eyes on the ground. "What my sisters and I were accused of back then... We might be powerful, but the type of women we were raised to be doesn't feed the need for any more strength. We won't search for more power, and we don't have the heart to betray the Soul Society, even though they've betrayed us in the past."

She looked up, revealing her red eye just as her purple one.

"And we, the Shinihime sisters, will fight for you, the Soul Society and all souls until it brings our end."

Tai and Oko stood then. They stepped up beside thier sisters and each and every one of thier Zanpaktou's in the air, acting as an offering, as they glowed with thier own spiritual pressure.

"So whadaya say, sir?" Sai half-smiled.

Yamamoto sighed. "It looks like I have no choice. But you're forgetting there's one more task you must complete."

"We haven't forgotten, sir." Sai smirked. "We'de be more than happy to demonstrate our power.

"Good." Yamamoto nodded. "Tomorrow at the 1st Division training grounds, we shall see if you are all you say you are."
