Chapter 4- The Way You Look

Emiko's POV

I walk into the bar and look around to see if Kisuke had already arrived. When I don't see him I decide to take a seat at the bar and order a drink while I wait. After five minutes of sitting at the bar alone a girl walks over and takes a seat near me.

Bored, I look at her from the side and my eyes widen as I notice the color of her hair and eyes. She had long silver hair and dark maroon colored eyes just like my mother's. I just could not believe how similar they looked and couldn't stop myself from staring at her.

"Is there something you need?" The girl asks sounding slightly annoyed.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare." I answer embarrassed that she noticed and quickly look away from her as I take a sip of my drink.

"Do I remind you of her?" She whispers and I turn back around to face her.

"I don't know what you mean?" I laugh starting to feel uncomfortable with her gaze on me.

"I know you were thinking I look just like your mother, Hitomi Kimura." She answers and I couldn't help but cough up my drink as she speaks her name.

"Do you even know what you're saying?" I get up quickly from my seat and turn towards the door, but she gets up too.

"Mother really wants to see you." She blocks the door so I couldn't leave.

"You've got to be kidding me. This must be some kind of a joke."

"She wanted me to tell you how sorry she is for leaving you alone back then." She answers and a sudden feeling of anger comes over me.

"I want nothing to do with her!" I yell at the girl, but she manages to stay calm. "Tell her I never want to see her face again. And if I do she'll regret it." The girl looks right into my eyes and then begins to laugh.

"She said you would probably react this way. She told me if that happen to tell you if you don't come to see her she will make your life very unpleasant."

"Is that supposed to frighten me?" I ask while putting a hand on my zanpakuto. "I'd never be scared of a person like her!"

"You should be." The girl smirks.

"If she really wants to scare me she'll have to better than sending a girl like you as her messenger."

"I'm not just some random girl she found on the street. She sent me because I'm someone she can trust."

"Oh really. Well I hope you know better than to trust anything she says."

"I trust our mother because she's the only one that's been there for me." She answers and I frown slightly.

"She use to be the only person I had too, but I learned just because it's family you shouldn't always trust them."

"Is that why you don't trust me either?" She asks and I laugh.

"You think were family just because you believe we share the same mother. I don't trust you because I don't know you. Even if we are sisters we didn't grow up together, the only thing that we have in common is that sad excuse of a person, Hitomi Kimura gave birth to us. I don't even know your name, little sister." I narrow my eyes at her causing her to back away a little.

"My name is Kaori Matsuko." She introduces herself.

"Well Kaori, I'm sure if you knew that whole story between Hitomi and I you wouldn't want to spend another minute being her errand girl." I explain wanting to show her just how naïve she was being. "You'll just end up getting hurt too if you stay by her." I look at her with genuine concern. I didn't want her to get hurt by Hitomi like me.

Kaori's POV

This was the first time anyone had been so concerned with my wellbeing and I wish it happened more often. But I was also glad that I didn't know Emiko better because soon she'll be dead. That is what mother wants. I know her plan for Emiko isn't right, but I also know about what mother had done to Emiko in the past and I'm afraid that will happen to me if I don't help. I really do wish there was a way out for me.

"Are you feeling ok?" Emiko surprises me again with her concern and takes a step closer to examine my face. "You aren't saying anything and your face is a little red."

"I'm fine." I answer while quickly moving away from her. "I should get going now." I say heading towards the door.

"Wait a minute." She grabs on to my arm and forces me to look at her. "You're hiding something important from me." She glares as my eyes meet hers. "What's the real reason mom wants to see me again. I'm sure it's not just to see how I've been doing. Especially if she's willing to threaten me for if I don't agree to meet her."

"I'm not allowed to tell you, but you'll find out when you see her." I tell her causing her grip on my arm to tighten.

"I don't like being deceived."

"How can you even tell what my true intentions are?"

"The look on your face gives you away." She says letting go of me.

"Would you still go to see her even though there's a possibility something bad might happen to you?" I ask curious to hear her reply.

"Yes because I don't want to find out what will happen to those around me if I don't go."

"I see. Then I'll meet you here at this time in two days to take you to her." I walk to the door, but look back at her before I walk out. She's looking back at me and smiles sadly.

"I guess no matter what happens to me the next time we see each other, I'll still be glad I got to meet my sister and know that Hitomi really isn't the only blood relative I have." I leave right as that sentence leave her mouth and not wanting to hear anything more. I'll admit I am a little upset by her choice in words. She didn't refer to mother or me as family, but blood relatives instead. Even though I know she doesn't truly care about me like the people in the Seireitei, her true family, I still can't help but feel bad for my part in this plan.
