Turning Back Time

"Kensei, it's me. Look at me". I grabbed his masked covered face and brought his forehead to mines. I could visibly see him relax, even with the rods in his body. Tears began to burn in my eyes. "It's okay, honey. It's ok-". In the corner of my eye, I saw his lieutenant, a masked Mashiro, jump out of no where. She then kicks me in my swollen belly.

"Grandpa!" I yelled, walking into his office. I knew that he hated when I did that but he would never let me know.

"Himeko, how many times do I have to tell you? You can't barge in unannounced". My mother said, walking over to me while scolding me. I didn't even notice that she was there.

"I'm sorry mom," I mumbled, looking down.

"It's very unladylike. No wonder the nobles' sons do not want to marry you." She said lightly, trying to make me smile.

"If I'm going to marry someone, then I want to marry Ace."

"You cannot marry your brother Hime." My mother says, laughing.

"Listen to your mother Himeko," my grandfather, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, said. I could tell he was joking by the crinkles next to his eyes. "Marrying a noble will ensure your future".

"But papa, I don't want to marry someone. I want to fulfill my role as your heir. I need to start training."

My grandfather was the Head Captain of the Soul Society. He was the most powerful shinigami and I wanted to be by his side... if they let me.

My mother and grandfather exchange a look. The same look they've shared since grandma died. Before when they opened their mouths, tears began to form in my eyes.

Ever since Grandma Yuri passed away, they made a silent pact to keep me away from violence. They silently forbidden any and everyone from training me. Even Ace couldn't teach me the moves he learned from Yoruichi, the captain of the second division.

"Himeko..." my mother started, touching my shoulder. I stepped away from her touch and turned away. I would find someone to train me.
