It was the day of Rie's 5th birthday, Byakuya wore a light blue kimono with silver dragons on it, he liked the month of April, and Rie so happened to be born April 7th. He held the wrapped doll in his arms, his mother was quite the artist.

Painting a beautiful porcelain doll that looked a lot like Rie just much older, as a young woman. He nocked on the Ukitake complex, he could hear the buzz inside of the doors. He could hear Kisuke's voice, Jushiro's voice, Shinsui's voice, Yourichi's voice and last but not least her parents voice.

Much to his relief Jushiro opened the door to the complex, he had a relieved smile on his face "Kuchiki-san I am glad you were able to make it" he said. He then stepped aside for the young Kuchiki.

Byakuya nodded, his eyes roaming the house, there were streamer and confetti, much to bright for his taste. He then was led to the main room where everybody was at. As soon as the door opened everybody looked up to see who came.

Rie had a bright pink kimono on and was currently playing catch with Kisuke and Yourichi. Rie looked up to see who came, her happy yet distant eyes instantly turned hard and emotionless. She dropped the ball and walked out of the room.

That made Byakuya's heart drop, how could she of become so cold in a matter of two months. He followed Rie out, she sat out by the pond, taking a stick and scaring the Koi inside the water. He then sat next to her "Hey Rie-chan" he said, a smile playing on his lips.

Without diverting her eyes she replied without much emotion "Hello Kuchiki-san". She wanted to throw herself into him and shower him with her childish love but she did not.

He frowned softly "Please, Rie-chan, you know you don't have to use formalities with me" he told her. He then sighed as he then placed his gift at her feet "Open it. I think you will like it" he said.

Frowned as she the stood up, dropping her stick she turned to him, angry tears streamed down her face her brown eyes showing him a world of hurt "No, I cant, after two months… I can't" she repeated then turned and fled, all the while her tears streaming heavily.

Byakuya watched as Rie ran away from him, how could this happen to him? Standing up, his mind did not even think of using shunpo to go after her. After about twenty minutes of running and not finding the little silver haired girl he started to panic. Speeding up he then tripped over something. Falling to the floor with a loud grunt he looked to see what he so clumsily tripped on. What he saw made his blood run cold. Rie was lying on the ground, her arms around her chest and her face taking on a blue-ish tint. Her mouth open and shut several times as she tried to take several shallow breaths.

He crawled over to her, he had no clue what was happening to her and quite frankly he was scared. Picking up the small girl his mind kicked into action and he used shunpo to get to the house. He barged into the room where everybody was "Whats wrong with Rie?!" he demanded. Setting the now unconscious girl on the floor.

Yourichi was first to reach, being by their side in a second she looked over the girl then picking her up she looked to the rest of the group "I will be back to tell you where I took her" and with that Yourichi used shunpo, just a slight stirring of the air was left.

Jushiro was first to pull out of his dazed state "What happened to Rie out there?!" He shouted.

Byakuya flinched a little, then sighed "She became upset at me and then ran off. I found her on the floor like that" he told them.

Rie's mother started to cry, on the other hand Rie's father stood there with his arms crossed over his chest, not even a sign that it went to his heart, his face cold and emotionless.

"All we can do is hope for the best" Shinsui said as he then sat back "Rie is a strong girl, I believe she will pull through" he told the family and friends.

Byakuya sat down and nodded, his eyes downcast onto the wood flooring. "I know she is a strong girl" he replied. "I just hope Yourichi gets there in time…so nothing bad will happen to Rie" he said softly.

Twenty minutes past, everybody sitting there silently, every second seemed like a century, every second moving painfully slow. Byakuya's mind was far away from his body, the first ten minutes was about if Rie was not properly taken care of, what would of gone wrong. The other ten minutes was split from between Hisane and what he would tell her for being late and the other is why was he ignoring the little girl like this, and if he hand already fallen out of Rie's good grace where his mother told him not to fall.

After a seemingly eternity long torture Yourichi came back, her features were calm and collected.

Rie's mother stood up "Where is she? Where is my baby?" She asked, her voice almost going into hysteria.

"She has been admitted into the local doctor that I know, your daughter is in good hands" Yourichi said.

"Please let me see my sister" Jushiro pleeded with Yourichi.

She nodded and stretched a little "Okay lets go…but do you want to use shunpo?" she asked.

Everybody nodded, and with that then everybody used shunpo and followed Yourichi.

Soon they arrived at a large complex, not huge but big enough to fit a good amount of people. Yourichi slid the door open "I am back, with Rie Ukitake's friends and family" Yourichi announced.

Soon an elderly woman came out, her hair was a pixy look and white, she smiled gently and motioned from the group to sit down in another room "please sit guests" she said.

They nodded and all sat down around a small table (Imagine it like at Kisuke's shoten) The woman passed out tea to everybody.

Rie's mother was first to speak "So, is my daughter okay?" she asked.

The old woman just smiled "my daughter will tell you that. RETSU!" the woman cried. Soon a girl no older than 21 came in, her hair was back in a braid and she sighed.

"Okasan! You don not have to yell" she said, then pushing back a few of her dark hair she looked at the charts "In regards to Rie Ukitake…your daugher has…..
