Author's note: I beg for forgiveness from my readers if I get the personality of Kiyone wrong. I honestly never paid much attention to Isane's sister, and find her some what annoying. However, she is Isane's sister, so she needed to be in one chapter in this story..

Chapter 14: Sisters
Isane spent many of her free hours with her younger sister Kiyone. And many more hours worrying about the small fiery blond.
Her sister was in so many ways different from her. Loud, bold, stubborn, were among the many traits that came to mind. But Isane loved her baby sister. And never thought there would be a day when Kiyone would not only no longer need her care and guidance, but that she herself would find herself sitting across from the small blond at Kiyone's insistence, in a small tea shop of the 27th district.
The tall woman stared at her sister for a long moment, before gray eyes swept away, glancing around uncertainly. Though it was not so strange that the two sisters found them selves here, together. It was strange that Kiyone would be the one that asked Isane to meet for tea, stating only that the needed to talk.
When Isane had arrived, she had half expected to see Rangiku and Nanao, as well as the other female vice captains and fellow members of the women's association. A common sight when there was a promise of 'talking', which translated to juicy gossip.
But there was only Kiyone, and one empty chair. The blond had been there long enough to order a pot of tea for them, and make herself comfortable.
This had been fifteen minuets ago. And Kiyone had yet to say anything beyond her warm greeting. The third seat of 13th squad simply sat there, studying her older sister, as the silver haired woman grew more nervous.
Finally Kiyone set down her cup of tea and released a soft sigh, looking up at Isane, with this strange, almost knowing look in her eyes.
"So, when were you going to tell me about you and Captain Unohana?"
Isane's face lit up instantly, even though she was unsure if she heard her sister correctly. She sputtered, searching for words desperately before putting her face in her hands. Isane could only remind herself that she loves her sister, even as she started mentally listing the herbs and medical kidos she could use to get her revenge.
