A/N: This is the sticky part. Expect a bit of a wait. I have to do a lot of research - for her training with Byakuya. Let me know if you know anything, any ideas, plot ideas, plot holes, or resources I can use.

Chapter Four

Two months later, Yamamoto called me down too his office.

"Master Yamamoto?" I called, knocking on his open door.

"Come in, child. You mustn't use such formalities with me now. I am your father, you know." I nodded, bowing too him before I took a kneeling position in front of his desk.

"Now I called you down here because you are going too spend the next three weeks at the Kuchiki family's estate, there Byakuya Kuchiki will be educating you on the politics and formalities of the noble families." I nodded my head, and left, knowing I was dismissed, and wondering what my time there would be like.

Even I had heard the stories of the Kuchiki Ice.

Sergeant accompanied me in the carriage with all of my belongings, which thanks too Yamamoto's insistence on taking me shopping often and buying me gifts, had become quite a few. Sergeant laughed as I kept throwing things away or donating them too a Rukongai fund as we were packing. I even found a crown of silver, which baffled me.

"When did I get this?!" Sergeant just laughed harder. I whacked at him, but missed. I grumbled more.

Now though, we were on our way too the Kuchiki Estate, and I was scared. What could come of this?

Within a few hours, we had arrived, and Sergeant climbed out, getting the door for me. I rolled my eyes, but climbed out, even getting a hand from Sergeant. He laughed as I shook off his touch, only too be thwacked by a pale hand. My eyes widened in surprise as Sergeant winced, going too his knees, bowing.

"Your masters should be treated with more respect," said a cold voice. "If you cannot learn that quickly, I will not have your presence disturb my house."

I wanted too shout, scream, and throw a fit, but I didn't. I did what was expected of me. I bowed, greeting Master Kuchiki, and apologizing for Sergeant.

"Keep him on a tighter leash," was his only response.
