The next morning

"Aijin-sama it's time for breakfast, you as well young master." Our maid had woke us up and had our clothes prepared for the day. Though we refused to get up, there was no escape from her hands that stripped off our night gowns and changed us into our day clothes. She was scary…but not as scary as Albert, no one is scarier than him in all of the Seireitei.

"Ok I'm up!" Raito shouted, getting out of bed and getting his own shirt on before she had a chance to. He grumbled half-heartedly as he began buttoning his shirt half asleep.

"Me too…" Rubbing my eyes and getting out of bed, yawning in the process, Raito looked over cautiously as if waiting to see if I would fall again. But I was fine and gave a groggy smile. He sent me a relieved feeling as I got dressed myself and he went to the wash to fixate his hair and brush his teeth before joining papa for breakfast.

"Today we have eggs, toast, ham, and a side of salad for breakfast." The maid said. Giving us a clear menu for the morning, I was looking forward to the eggs and toast.

"Sownds good, whawt to dwink?" Talking in-between brushing his teeth, the maid scolded him for his manners and continued with the menu.

"You have two choices. Milk or water;" having me in the wash to brush and fixate my own hair and teeth, we chose our drinks and she waited for us to finish before guiding us to the dining area.
Walking down the wooden halls and passing other servants, we reached the dining area to find papa already waiting for us with his coffee in hand.

He greeted us with a warm smile before asking us about yesterday on our birthday. "Did you two have fun yesterday? I hope the formalities didn't kill the mood of the party for you two."

"I had loads of fun with Byakuya-san! We sparred with my new sword and everything!" Raito spouted. Sitting down in our seats and waiting for the meal to arrive, it was my turn to shed some enjoyment of my feelings for yesterday.

"I had a good time dancing that part for everyone at the party, it was so hard though to concentrate with so many staring at me." Laughing it off, papa chuckled under his breath and took a sip of his coffee before speaking to us about what our new plans were since we were now ten.

"I am glad you two enjoyed yourselves. Now for the next part of your gifts'," Setting his cup down and looking to me first, he handed me a scroll of some sort and allowed me to open it up. "That is the Kuchiki's invitation to dance for them Mizu. This means that your dancing career for this family will start from this day onward as you will recite their family lineage. I'll leave it up to you on what you do for them."

"I thank you for this opportunity papa," accepting this responsibility, I could only imagine what I would be doing for the Kuchiki's!
Father looked to Raito kindly and raised his chin high as he spoke to him.

"Raito, from here on out it is time to begin your training to enhance your capabilities as a proper soul reaper. I won't have a son who will fall behind of others from lack of encouragement. This means you won't be able to play as much no longer...training will take over your daily routines from here on out."

"Alright!" Excited to hear that, Raito was always the one to overexert himself to better his abilities. "I'll do everything you ask me to papa!"

"That's my strong little warrior," laughing and speaking to us on a friendlier matter, breakfast was served before us and we joyously ate before heading off to our new routines.
Of course it was Raito that whispered to me he would always have time to play before training, but papa caught us and handed him his Asauchi while taking him to the dojo to train for his new career.

-Few Hours later in the Library

Taking another book off the shelves and setting it on the table with a thud, I skimmed through the pages to pick out some events in the early war of the Kuchiki family line. Finding one of interest to me, I read at least a page before leaning back in the chair in amazement.
"Wow…the Kuchiki family sure has been through a lot over these past 100 years." Looking at another page and reading on, the war that they were in was mainly dealt with by the Kuchiki clan. I thought long and hard on how to interpret this into dance and got up to try something out.
I placed myself in the middle of the study room like a tree. Then slowly thinking I had a fan in my hand I moved side to side thinking of the wind; then fiercely faced one direction, pointing as if ordering an attack, and then dropped to the ground with the unseen fan sprawled out before me. Thinking what else happened, and how it was Ginrei who stopped most of the war with his zanpakutou, I tried mimicking the way the thousand swords fluttered about in the wind, slicing its enemies one by one with beauty. My hands flowed and I moved graciously across the room as if I were the pedals of a thousand blades, lashing at the air as if taking down my foes. I ended my imagination with a slight bend backwards with my hands together, palms out, and touched the floor like a windblown tree.
"…..That should work." Getting up and walking to the table and grabbing a piece of paper and the brush to write down the movements I did. I rehearsed it over and over until I was satisfied with what I came up with. The finished result had changed here and there, but I wasn't satisfied until I practiced with a fan and settling it with my father watching for approval. So I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran out of the study to the small dance studio I held my practices in.

Moments later, coming into the study for Mizu; "Aijin-sama would you like anything to drink?" Looking inside the study, she wasn't there. "Aijin-sama…Aijin-sama where are you?" Looking around and still no sign of her, the maid started panicking loudly. "A-Aijin-sama!"

"What's wrong Lidia, your yelling quite loudly…" the head butler—Albert—was walking through checking on the conditions of all employees before hearing the maid yelling. "Settle yourself and speak," eyeing her, she was scattered about and swallowed her muffled voices.

"Aijin-sama isn't here!"

"What do you mean not here…she was here last time I checked," he corrected. Looking into the room himself, he confirmed she was not in the study and began to worry. "Send word to the other keepers, do not inform the lord." Parting ways immediately, their ruckus disturbed Raito's session.

Gone…she's around somewhere at the house, I know it. Stopping my training to look around for my sister, I could hear the commotion with everyone in search when I thought of where she might be. She's anxious over something, must be her training for the dance recital. Hand over my chest, I headed over to the separate dojo where my sister's practice sessions were and sure enough, she was in here.
"Sis, you caused a ruckus in the house." She didn't answer me. "Hey, answer when I—" I cut myself off when I saw her holding the white fan and raising it above her head in concentration. The sound of bells was tied to her ankles, making her every movement chime as she moved. Entranced as I was, it took me forever to realize some of the servants found her and were watching her show just like I was. When I stopped myself from gaping like a fool, I quickly made way inside to sit down on a cushion and watched my sister's practice.
She was standing tall and made a fluid motion of her hand and moved fluidly like the wind and twirled around. I didn't even notice her picking up the fan from the floor and moving it so quickly through the air in brief circles before snapping it shut and staring into space. I was entranced, and to only have it disturbed when the maids started whispering beside me saying she was studying something in the library and this could have been it.
Of course they don't know it's for the Kuchiki's…she feels nervous having us here yet she continues dancing. Supporting her emotions from the sidelines until the others settled down, I continued watching her dance and figured this was a part of the Kuchiki line in the books.
With her rollercoaster of emotions being thrown my way, she finally finished dancing and looked my way with a smile.

"Brother," jumping off stage and right to me, I shook my head and crossed my arms in amusement.

"You know sis, you freaked everyone out by not telling them you were here."

"….oops," trying to pull off her 'I'm sorry' smile, I just messed with her hair and headed back to training as she was malled by the servants in utter worry. "I'm sorry!" Hearing her plea, I left with my own smile and felt her fear of the trouble she was going to be put through.
Walking back to the training grounds, father was heading to the dance hall by hearing all the commotion most likely.

"Papa, something wrong," Sure, why not, it could only be one thing.

His eyes crinkled when he smiled at me, but he raised an eyebrow to what I was doing not practicing. "I heard a small rabble within the halls here and figured either you two had done something."

"Me do something~" acting innocent, it didn't pass as he patted my head and shooed me off to training. "See you later then!" Waving goodbye, I was wondering what he had in stored for sis.

"….Mizu," hearing father call my name, I looked up to find him standing in the archway looking at what I gotten into. "Care to explain what this fuss was about?"

Trying to pull off a smile at him, my words came out slowly and unnatural. "I may have wondered off without telling anyone where I was…." Eyes rolled to the side, I was hoping he wasn't angry. "But I figured out what I wanted to dance for the Kuchiki's!" Blurting it out now, maybe this was the only way out of getting grounded, or worse….instructed by Albert on proper mannerisms.

"Really," raising a gray colored eyebrow, his blue eyes on me for my truth, I stepped back on stage and grabbed mother's fan. "Are you planning on using that?" He asked.

"Is that ok?" Asking him, he only smiled while walking towards the stage and glancing at the fan I held with a longing in his eyes.

"It would make your mother happy to see you use that fan…" gently touching the fragile paper, he sat down on the edge of the stage and asked if I would dance for him.

"Of course," hugging him briefly before hopping over to the center, I took my stance and a few deep breaths before sounding off the bells.
