'Italic' means self-talking.

A/N: I'M SORRY FOR THE ULTRA LATE UPDATE! WAS BUSY WITH STUFF! SOOOOO SORRY!

~50 years later~

50 years have passed but to us, Shinigami, it seems to be only 5 years. Well, since we are in Soul Society, we age and grew slower. Even though my age is 170 years old, I had the appearance of a 15 years old school girl. My height now is only 160cm and is the second shortest female in the clique. The person who won the shortest girl award in our clique is none other than Suki. She didn't grow at all since we finished the academy!

50 years in the division we are in and we are still hanging out from time to time. Most of the time, we went on mission as a team and we are always looking forward to the next mission.

The problematic girl, Suki started to like the division she is in and she had also managed to force her captain to do the paperwork the division needed to do for the day. Leaving both her and Nanao free for the rest of the day. How she did it? Is a secret.

Suki and Ryu are dating despite the whole different personality they had but as long as they are willing to stay happy together, that's all it matters.

Also, the twin artificial Shinigami sisters were attending the Shino academy to be a full time Shinigami but its seems to be a waste of time for them as they attended lesson in the 13th division.

"Reiku" Otou-sama called out to me as I was sitting on the rooftop at the 9th division barrack, enjoying the afternoon breeze along with Kaze and Kurosaki Taichou.

"Otou-sama!" I jumped in shock.

"Good afternoon, Abarai Fuku-Taichou" Kaze said bowing a little.

"Hey Renji" Ichigo said calling out to his best friend.

"Hey" Otou-sama said to them before he got his attention to me.

"Erm… Reiku, do you mind if you could babysit Reizo for a few hours?" Renji run his finger through his red tied hair.

"Yar sure, but why the sudden change?"

"Well you see, Kuchiki Taichou, Rukia and I are called into an important meeting with the council and we don't feel safe leaving Reizo alone in the Kuchiki Estate with the servants."

"I see. I will head over to the Kuchiki Estate now so come back soon alright?" I said and Otou-sama ruffled my hair saying how cute and adorable I was.

Otou-Sama left first and I thank Kurosaki-Taichou for allowing me to rest in his division while Kaze hug me before letting me head back to the Estate.

"I'm having a bad feeling about this council meeting thing" Kurosaki-Taichou said and Kaze tilt his head in confusion."

"What do you mean, dad?" Kaze asked.

Kurosaki-Taichou shook it off and smile gently towards Kaze "It's nothing but if anything happens to Reiku, would you be there for her?"

"I would never leave her."

As I step inside the Estate, I was welcome back from the servants. I showed my respect with saying "I'm back" before heading off to the Left wing where Reizo and my room are located. Only the two of us are staying in the Left wing so it is my responsibility to take care of Reizo.

I look around the left wing and could not find Reizo anywhere. I didn't panic as what older sibling would do when the found out their younger siblings are missing. I sigh and quickly turn around to stop an incoming flying ball directed to my head.

"Aww… seems like it will take me a few more years to be able to be like you" a tiny voice said and I passed back the ball to the person who said it.

"Just keep practicing and you will be just fine, Reizo" I said bending down to his eye level and Reizo hug me tightly, saying "welcome back, Onee-sama"

"I'm back" was my reply before we break away from each other.

"What would you like to do?"

"Erm…" Reizo thought a few moments before saying "TAG!"

"Which type of Tag?"

"Flash step Tag!"

"Okay. You'll run, I will catch"

"Give me 5 min to run first!" Reizo said this important rule.

"Whatever you say. The places you can run are the Kuchiki Estate and the Sakura forest" I said and Reizo nodded at me before running off.

I waited for 5 minutes and I was off. I slowed my flash step so I can be fair to Reizo. Reizo is currently still learning flash step and the maximum he can reach is only 3 meter.

I reach the entrance of the Sakura forest and I sense Reizo reiatsu in there. Instead of flash stepping, I decided to jump from tree brunch to tree brunch.

I easily caught up to Reizo who was also jumping from tree brunch to tree brunch and playfully shouting "No fair!" at me.

I giggle and decided to let Reizo continue to run away from me a little before I tag him. He stopped in his track and quickly turns around to tag me but I dodge it.

"NO FAIR!" He shouts again and I continue to giggle before running deeper into the Sakura forest. I feel kind of save playing in the Sakura forest because no matter how deep you went, the forest will still be bright.

We continue the game for a whole 2 hours and we fell flat onto the forest ground exhausted from running here and there. Reizo panted heavily and I am glad he could actually take this 2 hour of flash step training. Actually, Reizo did run as well but to me, it seems he was flash stepping. I am proud of my little brother.

We rested in the center of the forest enjoying the breeze. Reizo was lying beside me and to be exact, his head was on my arm. Making my arm a pillow for his head. Soon, he drafted off to sleep and seeing him sleep so quietly, I decided to take a nap as well.

~Dream~

"That Kuchiki girl will never be able to give order to us once she is disowned from the Kuchiki clan!"

"She is nothing but a waste of life!"

"She can just die for all we care!"

"Say…if we kill her, no one will come after us right?"

"No one will. We can beat her up into a pup once she is out of the Kuchiki Estate and out of Seireitei."

"Stop it please!"

~Dream ends~

"STOP IT!" my eyes flashed open and my head was sweating from that nightmare I had.

"What was that dream?" I softly said and Reizo tiredly rub his eyes.

"What happen, Onee-sama?" He asked sleepily.

"I'm sorry I woke you up. I'm okay, so you don't have to worry about me alright."

"Okay…" Reizo suspected something but he decided he should not say it.

I look up at the sky and notice it is going to be dark soon. I had no idea how long we had slept but it was pretty long.

"Reizo, jump onto my back" I instructed and Reizo tilted his head in confusion.

"I am going to Flash Step so we will make it home faster. Most likely Oka-sama, Otou-sama and Kuchiki-sama would be back by now."

"Oh… Okay" Reizo did what he was told and he jumped onto me. I secure him on my back before dashing off. He was delighted from the speed I was going since he can't go this fast yet.

As we went closer to the Estate, we could feel our parents and Kuchiki-Taichou reiatsu and I increase the speed of my flash step. We made it home in less than 3 minutes and we decided to head back through the left wing.

Reizo was so impatient in greeting our parents and had jumped down from my back, dashing out of the room and trying to locate our parent reiatsu. I wasn't far from him and we run from the Left wing all the way to the Right wing.

We could hear voices from our parent's after we turn from the edge wall and just as Reizo was about to greet them welcome back, we heard another voice with them.

We quickly hide behind the edge wall, ear dropping them.

"From the meeting until now, I WILL never disown Reiku! She is far too important in the Kuchiki Clan!" Oka-sama shouted to the owner of the voice and he just chuckle at her.

"You don't get it do you, Kuchiki-san? If you don't disown her, your precious son, Reizo will be taken away. Even if you disown Reiku, she will still be in the Shihoin clan as the next head of the family."

"Leave Reizo alone!" Otou-sama shouted this time.

"What's so great about having a female as head in the Kuchiki Clan? It brings down the family name. Give up the girl"

"NO WE WILL NEVER GIVE REIKU OR REIZO AWAY!" Kuchiki-Taichou yelled out and this is the very first time Reizo and I saw him so mad.

"What is wrong Kuchiki Byakuya? Are you sure you want history to repeat itself? Because of your parent's foolishness, your sister was killed."

Just from the owner of the voice said the last sentence, everything seems to stop.

"Sister? Nii-sama, you had a sister?" Oka-sama asked and Kuchiki-Taichou looks away.

"Oh…seems like your little sister and her husband does not know about that. I will let you explain and I will come back in a week's time. By the way, it's rude to eardrop adults business." The voice said and what he meant was us.

"We have been found…" Reizo look up at me and I nodded sadly. We step out from our hiding spot and our parents including Kuchiki-Taichou were shock to find us there.

"Seems like they had heard some of the things we had said. I will come back in a week time. I will see you then." With that said, the person left.

There were silence between us and the person who broke the silence was my little brother.

"Where is Onee-sama going?" Reizo voice is already getting soft. His eyes are getting watery as well.

"Nowhere" Oka-Sama lied.

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" Reizo yelled to the adults and I was shock. I had never seen him so angry or even seen him shout to anyone before.

"Reizo and Reiku, the two of you are called into the Kuchiki meeting room now. Rukia and Renji as well"
Byakuya instructed us and we followed.

Reizo was holding onto my hand refusing to hold our parents hands. He seems very piss towards the adults and I really hope he could calm down soon. I'm worried about his intense reiatsu which he got from our parents. He is only a 5 years old boy and his reiatsu seems to be like a first year academy student.

We went into the meeting room which is in the middle of the Kuchiki Estate. Only the 5 of us are in the room and we took our seat before Kuchiki-Taichou started this meeting.

"I'm sure all of you here are shock that I have a sister and yes I do have but she was killed because of this similar case." Kuchiki-Taichou said and we all turn to look at him. Reizo reiatsu had also seems to calm down but only a little.

"It happen 250 years ago, when I was only 8 years old"

~Flash back, 250 years ago~

"Byaku!" a female teenager voice said towards a young Byakuya playing with his brown teddy bear. The girl had long wavy black- brown hair reaching up to her waist. She had light blue eyes and wore a kenseikan hair pin on her right side of her hair symbolizing a Kuchiki heir.

"Ayumi Onee-sama!" the young Byakuya runs towards the female girl hugging her tightly. Ayumi carries up Byakuya and he gently giggles.

Ayumi is 170 years old but she had the appearance of a 17 years old girl. She had been serving the 6th division as the 3rd seat under her father, Sojun Kuchiki and grandfather, Ginrei Kuchiki for the last 60 years.

"How's work today?" Byakuya asked clinging onto his sister not letting go off her.

"It went well. I went to Rukongai to clear some weak hollow and I happen to pass by a candy shop." Ayumi took out a pack of colorful gummy bears and place it into Byakuya tiny hands. Byakuya squeal in happiness and thank her before eating his gummy bear.

Ayumi carried Byakuya to their room and when Byakuya finished his packed of sweet, Ayumi asked "How is your training going on?"

"Er…" Byakuya tried to avoid any eye contact Ayumi is giving and she sigh.

"Come on Byakuya, if you want to be strong, you have to train."

"I don't want anyone to train me other than you, Ayumi Onee-sama" he said with his head down.

"Byakuya look at me" Byakuya continues to stare at the ground.

"Kuchiki Byakuya, look at me now" Ayumi voice started to grow louder and Byakuya slowly look at her stern eyes causing him to flinch a little.

"I'm sorry, Ayumi Onee-sama"

"If you really want to apologize, promise me you would train. I am different from you as I went to the academy to be train to be a Shinigami as I am a female in the Kuchiki family. But you, Byakuya, are the next head of the family. You must be able to train by yourself to become a shinigami without attending the academy. Do you understand?" Ayumi said with a concern tone and Byakuya nodded and promise her using the 'pinky method'.

Suddenly, they heard running footstep outside their room and the door was rudely slam open before a servant of the Kuchiki family went down on his knees and said "I'm sorry for my rudeness but Kuchiki Ayumi must leave Kuchiki Byakuya immediately"

With that said, the servant stood up; snap his finger and the Onmitsukido spilt into 2 group. One group to bind Ayumi and the other to take Byakuya away.

"Release her at once!" Byakuya shout and the Onmitsukido just ignore him. They know they are in trouble going against the next head of the Kuchiki Family but this is their order.

"Restrict them!" the servant said and the Onmitsukido knock them out by using some kind of kido and both the Kuchiki children went limp into their arms.

"It has been over a year since the last meeting on disowning your female Kuchiki and I see that you do not wish to disown her" The head of council voice boomed in the room and both Ayumi and Byakuya started to wake up.

"Sir, they are waking up" another voice said and everyone stare at the Kuchiki children. Ayumi is still being held down by a high level kido and Byakuya was beside his parents.

"Please, head council; give us some time to think about it." Kuchiki Yumi, Ayumi and Byakuya pretty and beloved mother pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"No! This had already been extended for a full whole year and there had never been any changes around! Kill her!" the head council ordered and the Onmitsukido drew the swords ready to kill the 3rd seat of the Kuchiki family.

"NO!" Yumi and Byakuya scream out and the sound of fresh blood was spilled onto the ground. Ayumi fell down onto the ground gasping for air but another sword pierces her heart, stopping the air path.

She wasn't breathing anymore.

She wasn't there anymore.

Her life ended in the council room.

~Flash back end~

"Ayumi Onee-Sama died as a Kuchiki and that's what my parents want. My mother died few days after the incident as she was too shock to see her very first daughter, died in front of her. Ayumi Onee-sama death was too much for her and my father to handle. I was later raise by grandfather." Kuchiki Taichou said with sadness in his voice.

There was silence once again as we had no idea what to say after hearing the story. I know I am in danger but I don't know what to do.

"Reiku" Kuchiki Taichou called me and I slowly turn to him.

"The outcome will be bad, so please don't think we are abandoning you. We will say nasty stuff but please do not think bad about us." Kuchiki Taichou continues and I was already going to break.

"I… I understand." I lied.

"I don't understand at all!"

"It's fine. If the outcome wants me dead, I would transfer to the Shihoin Clan." I said fighting back the tears.

"I don't want to leave my home…"

"Reiku, we're sorry" Oka-sama said and I turn and look at her.

"It's…its fine, really! I'm going back to the division to do some stuff!"

"It's late already." Otou-sama said.

"I'm… on night duty today. Excuse me." I stood up and flash step out of the estate as fast as I could. I could hear my family calling me but I ignore them.

"Onee-Sama…"

"Guess we have to decide who stay and who is out…" Kuchiki-Taichou said sadly and now, the whole room was quiet. Reizo left the room after seeing me flash step away. He too won't want to stay in the same room as the adults.

~1 week later~

I spend my last 1 week with my family and I do know what the outcome will be. Reizo would always come over to my room to sleep with me as this will be our last time being together.

The council meeting was in the afternoon and the family who were involved are the Kuchiki Clan and the Shihoin Clan. The other Clan knows about it but since this is an event they call 'sad' they do not wish to appear.

The Kuchiki Clan and the Shihoin Clan stood side by side each other facing the head council. The Kuchiki Head, Kuchiki Byakuya and the Shihoin Head, Shihoin Yoruichi stood nearer towards the head of council.

"We will now begin the meeting. Kuchiki Byakuya, what is your final decision. Would you kill Kuchiki Reiku or disown Kuchiki Reiku?"

My heart started to beat even faster as the head council said that. Why am I feeling so nervous even though I know the outcome?

"To my concern, Kuchiki Reiku was never a Kuchiki once Kuchiki Reizo was born" Kuchiki-Taichou said and I look at him disbelief.

"Never once a Kuchiki?" My heart sank deeper.

"What do you mean by that!" Reizo shout out and stood in front of me protectively.

"She is going to be disown so why should I care if she is a Kuchiki or not?"

"I won't cry!"

"Kuchiki Reiku, step forward" the head council order and I give Reizo a smile before stepping forward. That will be my last smile to anyone.

"From what Kuchiki Byakuya had said, you are no longer a Kuchiki. You will never use the name 'Kuchiki' ever again. Whatever things you have with the Kuchiki will be taken away from you. You are forbidden to go to the Kuchiki Estate without permission from the 28th head of the Kuchiki Clan, Kuchiki Byakuya and him only. You will be adopted by the Shihoin Clan princess, Shihoin Yoruichi. After you are adopted into the Shihoin Clan, you will never be allowed to call your parents in the Kuchiki Clan by 'Oka-sama' or 'Otou-sama'. Shihoin Yoruichi will be your mother from now on. Is that clear, Shihoin Abarai Reiku?" The head council voice boomed at me fiercely.

"H-Hai…" My voice was starting to break. I was trying to fight back the tears which are storing up.

"Kuchiki Reizo, step forward" the head council said towards my brother and he slowly walk. He seems to be afraid of the council.

"From today onwards, you would not recognize Shihoin Reiku as your sister. You are the only child of Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji. Are you clear?"

"H-Hai…" Reizo said softly, afraid of the Council.

"Disowned complete"

A bell was rang throughout Seireitei alerting the shinigami that the disowned was complete. All of my friends heard the bell rang and this means they need to do 'that' soon.

The Kuchiki Clan started to leave when they notice Reizo did not move from his place.

"Reizo, let's go" 'Rukia' called out to my ex-little brother but he ignore them.

"Reizo, listen to your-" Renji' wasn't able to complete his sentence when he felt the intense reiatsu pouring out of Reizo. Reizo reiatsu was dark blue in color but it soon disappears since he can't control it yet.

"What did you say, Oka-sama?" Reizo voice became normal.

Innocent and calm was what I want Reizo to be.

"Let's go home…" Reizo look at my still form before bowing and saying to me "I hope we can meet soon. Sayonara, Reiku Onee-sama" I turn a little to see him walk over to my ex parents.

With that, the Kuchiki Clan left and only the Shihoin clan was left behind.

"Rei-Reiku, let's go home" Yoruichi Oka-sama called out to me and I nod and walk slowly towards them. As the next head of the Shihoin Clan, I was walking beside my now mother, Yoruichi Shihoin back to the Shihoin estate located near the 2nd Division.

That afternoon council meeting… killed my spirit.

The kind spirit of mine had died.

The gentle spirit of mine had died.

I don't even know if I should continue living or not. The family I trust had betrayed me. Not the family who cause it but the law itself. I know I don't have the power to fight against the law but some day, I WILL fight it.

A/N: LONG CHAPTER! AND I'M SORRY TOO!
