"Really?" She laughed, sitting up straight and taking her tea up again. "From what I've heard, Lady Saya is happier than a clam with a priceless pearl in its mouth. Although, I've known you far, far longer than she has known Byakuya Kuchiki, so it is a given that I'd be over the moon with glee at finally being able to be with my childhood love."
Suddenly the thought of Lady Saya marrying Kuchiki and herself marrying Kin one day brought chills to her spine. She couldn't imagine the power and authority that would come from the Kuchiki clan and the Koriyama clan being linked though marriage to the same clan--Suigetsu through the Masanobu family's patriarch and Kuchiki through its matriarch. The other clans would surely react to that bonding of clans. The link could very well end up as a blessing or a curse. Suigetsu slowly sipped her tea as she tried to play out the likely scenario in her mind.

Kin lightly flicked Suigetsu's forehead. "Stop thinking about it. This is our night. Not time for pondering the future of the clans merging." She turned giving him a daunted look. "How did you--" Before she could finish her sentence Koko stepped back in the room and bowed. "Dinner is ready Kin-sama." "Thank you, Koko." Kin released Suigetsu and stood offering his hand to help her to her feet. As she took his hand and stood he pulled her into him wrapping his arms tenderly around her and whispered in her ear. "I have known you far too long to not know what you are thinking." he pulled back and looked into her eyes. "Your facial expressions give you away, my dearest Suigetsu." Moved

"Meeting Under the Moon": (continued) Makino was the first, other than Kin that had entered the sitting room. Her eldest brother was standing with his back to the entry door looking out onto the grounds. Their mother and Byakuya within sight, but not too close to hear them as they talked about the nights events that took place between her and Sojiro. Makino bowed to her brother after she closed the door. "Nii-sama."He turned to look at her a frown on his face. "Sit Makino." Makino did as he asked taking a seat at the table in the room, Koko pouring her a cup of tea and one for her brother, once she had finished she left them to their own. "I know what your going to say." Makino started."Do you?" Kin replied walking over and taking a seat with her."Yes, you're going to tell me in being a noble I should not be acting as such. It is not lady like, noble like."

Kin hummed as he nodded his head. "Though that is truth you speak. That was not what I was going to say." He lifted his cup and took a sip of his tea. Sitting it back to the table he looked to his baby sister.
"I want to know something, Makino."
She nodded her head slowly as she waited for his question.
"Do you think it is proper for a woman. Not just a noble woman, but a woman in general to climb into bed with the first man she meets?"
"Of course not, that is dangerous," Makino replied.
"So does that mean it is alright to let the passion of a couple take control if they are not wed?"
"I believe--"
"That is not what I asked you, Makino," he stated, cutting her off. "I asked you--"

Makino's eyes narrowed at her brother in annoyance. "I know what you asked me, Nii-sama. I am not deaf, nor am I stupid." Her hands clenched in her kimono under the table as she tried not to let her tone lift with her eldest brother.
"Now if you don't mind, I believe if a couple loves one another, there should be no issues with it." Her brother chuckled lightly but let her continue. "Making love to someone you love is a beautiful thing that should not be frowned upon just because a couple is not married."

Kin's chuckling did not stop as he looked to his sister. "You think that boy loves you? He is a child. You're his first girlfriend." Makino's eyes widened. "Yes, sister dear, I looked into your beloved Sojiro's background. Though he is clean, thanks to the guidance of his Grandfather, Captain Ukitake and the late Captain Commander. It does not mean the boy knows anything about life. He was held captive in Las Noches for years. No contact with anyone but his mother and father, and we all know that man is no saint, and the few that were captive by that bastard Aizen were more worried about themselves than a growing boy. And his captors were not the best of role models. Do you really think that is the type of young man any of us want you with?"
Makino growled and lifted from the table as she glared at her brother. "I will not sit here and listen to you judge and degrade Sojiro and his family."
"Sit, Makino!" Kin growled at her as he too started to lift from his seat.

"I will not!" Makino nearly screamed at him as she stepped toward the door of the room. "How dare you sit there and proclaim that Sojiro does not care about me!"
Kin skirted around the table to get to his sister before she could leave as he exclaimed. "I did not say he did not care about you!" He grabbed her forearm as she slid the door open. "I said the boy did not love you." He slammed the door shut and jerked her around to look at him. "Are you willing to lie down with any man that cares about you? If this is the case, why don't you just spread your legs for any guy on campus."
Makino stiffened, her eyes wide as she looked at her eldest brother and before she could stop herself, she had struck him across the face, the slap echoing out across the grounds as well as her voice. "YOU BASTARD!! ITS ALRIGHT FOR YOU AND ANY OTHER MAN TO PART A WOMAN'S LEGS WHENEVER THEIR DICK GETS HARD! LOVE OR NOT! BUT LET A WOMAN DO IT AND SHE IS A SLUT! A WHORE! AND IT DON'T MATTER IF IT IS FOR LOVE OR NOT!! SHE'S STILL A WHORE!!"
She jerked away from her brother, her face hot and anger rising higher at him as she clenched her fists at her side, her nails digging into her palms. "WELL TO HELL WITH THE LOT OF YOU!! IF SOJIRO AND I WANT TO MAKE LOVE THEN WE WILL, AND NOT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE IS GOING TO STOP US!! I LOVE SOJIRO!! JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT TOLD ONE ANOTHER THAT WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER DOESN'T MEAN I, OR WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR HEARTS ARE TELLING US!!" She spun back toward the door to open it as Kin grabbed her arm again.

"LISTEN TO ME, MAKINO!!" Kin growled at her as he jerked her struggling form around to face him. "THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE!! LOOK WHAT HE HAS DONE TO YOU. YOU ARE TAKING BLAME FOR THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT! CLAIMING TO LOVE HIM WHEN HE KNOW THE TWO OF YOU WILL NEVER BE TOGETHER!!" He jerked her around again taking hold of her other arm.
"YOU'RE A NOBLE!! HE IS A COMMONER! NO! HE IS NO BETTER THEN HIS FATHER OR THE MAN HIS FATHER CALLED MASTER!! HE IS TRASH!!"

Makino was trying hard to control her anger and keep her growing reiatsu under control as well, but the more her brother spoke the more it climbed. She shoved her hands into Kin's chest as he stumbled back from her his grip on her arms breaking free. She glared at him a growl now in her voice.
"TAKE IT BACK!" She growled. "Sojiro has done nothing wrong! I am fully aware of what is going on between the two of us! Sojiro is nothing like you claim! I have known him for three years! If truth be known I was the one that advanced on him first because I knew he wouldn't!"
Kin's head shook with a frown on his lips. "Because he has you wrapped around his little finger. He would tell you to jump and you would ask how high."
"LIES!!" Makino screamed.
"Its over Makino!! And if taking you out of the Academy is the only way to keep you two apart so be it!!"
"You would not dare!!" Makino growled her eyes narrowing more.
"Watch me. I am the head of this family and you will do as I tell you."
"Never!! Father would never--"
"FATHER IS DEAD!! I AM THE HEAD OF THIS FAMILY NOW AND YOU WILL DO AS I SAY!!"
Makino had it under control, much better than she did until her eldest brother made his last claim. Her reiatsu flared, her fists clenched. Her eyes near slits as an animal like growl admitted deep from within her chest.
"How dare you claim to be head of this family you're nothing like father and you never will be. I will be glad when mother and Byakuya-sama wed and he takes this family away from you. You're a dictator like Sousuke Aiz--"

Makino did not get to finish her sentence as Kin struck her across the face with a stern backhand. She was now on the floor sitting to her hip, her legs drawn up slightly as her arms helped prop her up. Her head hung as a small bead of blood trickled down her busted bottom lip. He stepped back from her and turned his back to her.
"We are done here, Makino. Return to your room. Tomorrow I will send for your things and have you removed from the Academy."
Hearing her move as she pushed up off the floor he looked to her from the corner of his eyes. "You're dismissed."

"I renounce my position as a Masanobu heir." She turned from her brother and stepped toward the door. "I will clean out my room and find another place to live. If a dictatorship is what you want to have here then fine, but I am out. I will not live by your rules, nor will I allow you to control my life when father taught us to be an original. Not a copy."
She slid the door of the sitting room open and went to step out as a hand clasped down on her shoulder.
"What happens when you get pregnant by him? Do you really think he will stick around and help you raise the child? He is a child himself, Makino."
She shrugged his hand from her shoulder. "I guess you will never know. For you are no longer my brother." She stepped out of the room sliding the door closed behind her, as soon as she heard the click of the door, tears streamed down her cheeks the salty tears causing her busted lips to sting, her head was hung low. Then in a flash of shunpo, she was gone.

Byakuya and Saya entered the room shortly after. Byakuya’s face was a mask, revealing nothing of his emotions, his eyes like obsidian, stern and cold. Saya was pale with tears in her eyes. The head of the Kuchiki clan closed the door behind them. “While you are within your right to dislike her actions or her choice of partner, a late night is not the opportune moment to discuss that with her.”
Kin didn’t look his way but stood straight, his hands clenched at his sides. “This does not concern you. You are not the leader of the family until you decide to marry my mother.”
“No, I am not,” Byakuya murmured. He raised Saya’s hand and kissed it before moving away from her to the door on the other side of the sitting room. “But I believed the man who stood by the importance of his family wouldn’t turn away one of his most precious members,” he paused as he opened the other door, “especially when he admires a woman from the Rukongai who rose from that beginning to lead one of the great noble houses.”
Byakuya left the room, leaving mother and son alone. She had asked him not to interfere and he wouldn’t. He only hoped that Kin would listen…. and not bring more tears to Saya’s cheeks.

"Kin why?" Saya ask of him.
"He is not good for our Makino, mother. He will only drag her down, put her in harms way. This is for her own good as well as the good of the family."
"Is it?" Saya walked up to her son placing a gentle hand to his shoulder. "She renounced her heritage tonight for this boy. A month before, he came to this home and told us about the danger she might be in because of Aizen's sick game with him. He did not have to, but he did. Do you not think that there is more than you wish to see here? Or are you more upset about the thought of losing her to this boy because she is so in love with him?"
Kin turned quickly looking at his mother. "Makino would never..." Kin paused lowering his eyes from his mothers.
"She would never what? Walk away from her family for him?"
Kin's hand went to his forehead covering his face. "I messed up with her. I let my anger get the best of me from their blatant actions when they both know better, and Kuchiki-sama's actions to stop them." He looked to his mother. "Those poor Koi won't spawn for the next two years from that disturbance."
Saya could not help but giggle softly as she wiped away a tear rolling down her cheek. "The Koi are the least of my worries when it comes to my children, and seeing them fight like this rips at my heart."

Kin took his mothers trembling hand in his and kissed the back of it. "I am sorry we made you cry, mother. I was not expecting to go the way it went. I only wanted to talk to them, make them understand that waiting would be best for them."
Saya patted her son's hand that had hold of hers. "Though I am still very old school like your grandfather. Your father was right to raise you children the he saw fit. You're each unique of one another, not a carbon copy like most noble children, but you do know when it is time for that type of behavior to take place and you see to it that it happens." She let her hand tighten around Kin's.
"Byakuya-sama is right. If you are going to judge your sister for her choice of partners. You need to judge yourself in that area as well. Suigetsu is a wonderful and beautiful woman, but she is like that from her nurturing and upbringing. It does not change where she came from, but you do not and you never have, judged her from that. Why Sojiro? He is a wonderful boy and his mother and the others did a wonderful job of raising him with the situation they were placed in."
Kin sighed, hanging his head. "I messed up. Again. I am sorry mother, please forgive me. I will make this right again. I promise you."

Saya smiled warmly at her eldest son and cupped his cheek. "Just bring Makino back to us. She belongs here, not somewhere else."Kin nodded. "I will mother. I will go find her and take care of it now. I will apologize to not only her, but Sojiro as well. I know he had to have heard us fighting like you and Kuchiki-sama did." He kissed the back of him mother's hand once more and smiled at her. "Go be with the man you love mother. That is what he is here for. I will take care of this mess I made."Saya smiled with a slightly nod as she released his hand. "Thank you, Kin and if you feel your anger peaking again come find me with your sister. I will calm the swell." Her son nodded quickly as he kissed her cheek and went off to find his baby sister. Once he was gone Koko entered the room."Would you like some fresh tea while you wait, my lady?" "Yes, that would be nice, Koko." She took a seat at the table as Koko gathered the dirty tea set from the table and disappeared. It was only moments later she returned with clean cups and fresh tea for her and anyone else that might feel the need to wander in and join her.
