A hell butterfly flew surrounding the Kuchiki's siblings while they were having their ritualistic tea in their garden in the morning. Rukia took the teapot and gracefully poured into their cups, making the sleeves of her kimono rise revealing little cuts all throughout her hands and forearm. Byakuya outstretched his hand and let the butterfly land on his long slim fingers.
"We have a mission together Rukia," Byakuya relayed the message to his little sister once the butterfly flew away. "There's an increase in hollow sightings. Squad 6, Squad 13, and Squad 10 are to inspect it."
"Yes Nii-sama."
"They expect us tonight."
"Yes Nii-sama."
"And Rukia?"
Her eyes fluidly moved to meet his eyes. Their two lifeless eyes meeting each other, resembling two lovers that had been apart for a lifetime finally reunited.
"Get some rest before you leave."
Before she could reply, he faced his back towards her and walked away.
