Shunsui walked whistling with his hands in his pockets not aware of anything.
"Shunsui Jirou Kyouraku!" The kids heard Miyu call exasperated. "What in the seven seas are you wearing!"
"It's pink, mummy" Sayuri giggled and clapped in her hands.
"What's wrong, auntie?" Shunsui asked confused. "Do you need anything?"
"I put the black smoking for you with the white shirt!"
Understanding dawned upon the boy's face. "oh but I am not going to a funeral, it's a party..."
"Yes but pink..."
"The color of cherry blossom is pink, auntie dearest" He kissed her cheek and walked away.
"Sayuri ran to her cousin and took his hand. "Pink is very pretty"
Shunsui laughed and ruffled her hair. "Thanks for agreeing, Yu-chan"

Miyu joined her husband again and nodded friendly at all the guests.
She rather went to keep an eye on her kids but it was her duty as hostess.
From her eye corner she saw Retsu fussing over Shunsui whose tie was upside down.
She smiled tenderly. Retsu was like her very own daughter and recognized herself back as teenager.
Her son and nephew on the other hand were a hand full.
"What are you looking at, dearest?" Haruki asked tenderly and kissed her temple.
"the kids" she replied. "We better keep an eye on Jyuushirou and Shunsui. Those identical smiles make all alarms in me go off"
"Don't worry" Haruki smiled. "They will behave. they are 13 and 17 now"
Miyu kept quiet. Her husband was mostly at work and when he was home, the boys played angels.
Haruki gave her a quick kiss. "They are just boys besides, we were young once too"
"That is the exact problem" his wife mumbled. Her eldest son just had to inherit his father's mischievous side.

"What are you two whispering?" Retsu questioned sweetly while holding Nanao's hand.
Both boys gulped. "Nothing, nothing at all" they chorused.
"Retsu nee, you look lovely" Shunsui complimented her while smiling as if he were the holy spirit itself.
"Thank you" she nodded. "But that is off the subject if I am not mistaking..."
Jyuushirou sweated. He needed to get out of this before she had his head too. "Retsu, can I have this dance please?"
He bowed for her as a real gentleman and kissed her hand.
"Of course, I'd be honored" she replied as taught and curtsied.

Jyuushirou led her to a secluded space on a distance from Shunsui yet close enough so he could communicate with his partner in crime through his eyes.
"You look lovely" He complimented Retsu as he danced with her.
"thank you" She smiled. "That doesn't take my suspicion away though."
"Suspicion about what?" He looked at her her wide eyed with those innocent green eyes.
"Jyuushirou Ukitake, I am not fooled by that look" his girlfriend scolded amused.
He took a step back as the dance ended. "I am completely innocent"
Unohana simply laughed and took him back to the party. "You stay by my side, that way I know you and Shunsui can't plot"
"My dear, what are you talking about?" He brought his mouth close to her ear. "our event before the party left you floating I suppose"
Unohana blushed and looked away. "Just stay here"
"Shunsui and I are completely innocent" Jyuushirou tried again.
"innocent and you two boys don't go together"
The teenagers turned around and saw yamamoto sensei.
Unohana bowed. "welcome sensei"
"hmmm" he replied. "the boys are plotting you think?"

Jyuushirou used that opportunity to slip away to shunsui.
"got things ready?"
"Nearly" his younger cousin replied hushed.
Jyuushirou grinned and scooped his daughter up. "Can I have a kiss?"
She shook her head.
"eh?" he looked startled. She always gave him kisses when he took her in his arms. "Why is that, beauty?"
"trouble" She replied and pushed her glasses up.
"Did shunsui cause any trouble, sweetie?" her dad questioned amused.
"both of you"
He flushed red. "wh..what do you m..mean?"
Nanao wriggled. "down"
Jyuushirou put her down with a sigh. "where are you going, princess?"
"mummy" she scowled and stormed away.
He looked defeated. 'temperamental little thing" Shunsui grinned. "She is a little beauty though"
Jyuushirou scowled. "She is a just a child"
"overprotective daddy" Shunsui teased. "Everything is set for the big surprise"
"good job" jyuushirou grinned. "now it's just waiting for the cake ginrei has to cut..."
"It's Kuchiki-sama for you" His grandmother scolded as she passed by "and what's with him anyways?"
Jyuushirou and Shunsui shared a look. "nothing, nothing at all" they replied in chorus.
Their grandmother narrowed her eyes in suspicion but kept quiet.
