"Coming of the Moon": (continued) Shin Looked up from his seated position when he heard familiar voices in the canteen. A wide smile spread across his lips seeing Makino and another long time familiar face enter the hall.
"Maki-chan. Suigetsu-sama." He called out their names waving over his head to get their attention. When they approached the table Shin bowed to Suigetsu. "Suigetsu-sama what a pleasure." He stood again looking at her.
"Come to visit Maki-chan?"

Suigetsu crossed her arms underneath her breasts, smirking. "Actually, Shin, I'm here to attend classes here at the Academy with her." When Shin's eyes nearly popped out of his head, Suigetsu laughed. "Relax. I'm doing it to keep an eye on her and to keep loose tongues from badmouthing her and giving her a hard time, now that her secret is out."
Then she added, "And I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bored too. The Koriyama mansion gets so stuffy sometimes."

"Yeah...well...I..." he sighed heavily and looked to Makino. "You know I did not mean for that to happen. It just really pissed me off that that jerk, Captain Hirako, treated you like that. The jerk."
Makino's eyes narrowed as she was about to speak up.
"I don't care what he is or what he's been through, Maki-chan! We all have had it pretty rough. It's not your fault he lost his lieutenant and a bunch of his division members. There was no need for him to take it out on you." Shin huffed. "And then Captain Kuchiki and his lecturing you. Like that was going to help any. They all just need to do a reality check and take a chill pill if you ask me."

Suigetsu nodded in agreement and sat down at the nearest table. "That's exactly why I'm here. I'm sure Kuchiki is well aware of my dislike of his ways. As for Captain Hirako... well... Grief can do evil things to a person. We can only hope that his grief will pass and he won't be blind to obvious talent any longer."

Makino sighed at the pair and motioned with her head for Shin to sit with them. He grabbed his food and walked over to the table sitting down with Sigetsu, Makino sitting down last looking at Suigetau.
"I don't want to be pick of the litter because of my name. I want to be pick of the littler because I am the best at what I do. That's why I enrolled with my mothers name and not the Masanobu name." She looked to Shin then back to Suigetsu.
"Both of you." She looked to Shin. "Your big mouth when you get mad." She looked back to Suigetsu, "and you just being here now that word is out about who I really am is only going to make them expect more out of me." Her head nodded slightly.
"Given I was down playing my abilities because I did not want to look suspicious, but now I have to go all out." Her hands came up to either side of her head as she combed her fingers through her hair at the sides of her head.
"I will be picked for sure now just because I am who I am." She sighed and looked to the both of them. "Not to mention I could be offered a seated position. I don't want that, and they would do it just because I am a Masanobu. I don't want it for those reasons. I want it because I deserve it."
She sighed looking down at the table. "Maybe Kuchiki-sama is right. In a way I am walking away from my heritage. Betraying my family name." She looked up quickly at the two, her hand slapping the table top.
"But damn it! It's not fair that I get handed things on a silver platter because my name is Masanobu. There are so many more out there that have just as much talent and the ability to do this as I do." She sighed again her eyes cast down once more as her head shook. "It's just not fair to them. I should have to work just as hard as they do."

A slow clap echoed out in the canteen as Mitsuo walked toward their table. He leaned down and looked at Makino. "How thoughtful of you Princess, but you know as well as the rest of us. If Kuchiki or Ukitake tells Kyoraku you are here you're as good as placed wherever you so wish. They will pull you from the academy so fast it would even make the Soul Kings head spin."
Makino stood quickly stepping up as she looked into his eyes as he held his ground. "You know I would not let them do that, Mitsuo-kun."
Mitsuo chuckled rubbing his chest. "Its not want we want or even you want. It's what those damn Nobles want and you know that, Maki-chan."

Suigetsu leaned her head on her hand as she listened. "Alright then. If it'll help, I'll keep my distance in those terms. And if I so much as hear a peep about anyone accepting you becasue of your name, I'll be sure to talk some sense into them. I can't promise too much, but I promise I'll try to keep people's minds open. You've got a difficult road to overcome. Not becasue of yourself, but becasue of those around you. But I'm positive you can do it."
She stood up and stretched, lifting her arms over her head. "Now. Time to eat~" Suigetsu trotted off to the buffets, singing about all kinds of different foods.

Mitsuo watched her trot off after her speech. He looked back to Makino and Shin as he pointed his thumb back over his shoulder at her. "Who the hell is she anyway?"
Shin's eyes widened as he swallowed hard. "You...You don't know who that is?"
Mitsuo placed his hands to the table and leaned forward over it looking at Shin. "If I knew who she was would I be asking, dumb-ass?"

Makino chuckled and sat back down in her chair. "Sit, Mitsuo-kun."
He sat down and looked to Makino. "She your bodyguard now that your secret is out?"
Makino chuckled again. "More like the other way around. You really don't know nothing about the Noble's do you, Mitsuo-kun?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "Enough to know they are spoiled and get whatever they want. They make the rules and we have to live by them if we like them or not."
Makino could not help but chuckle again with a slight shrug of her shoulders. "Not all Nobles are jerks, and spoiled brats. I have met most of them. They have a heavy burden on their shoulders making sure things are taken care of," Mitsuo was about to speak as Makino lifted her hand and cut him off.
"For the good of everyone. If you see it that way or not. They can only do so much."
"Well they can share the wealth." Mitsuo rebutted.
"You want money. Get a job." Shin rebutted right back. "Their families work hard for what they got. You can't brand them all spoiled brats."
"Make a bet." Mitsuo replied looking to Makino his head gesturing to Makino. "She is the fist I have met that's decent and down to earth." He looked to Shin. "A real person."
"I am not a Noble. I am a Royal Guard." Makino informed him.
"A what!?" Mitsuo grunted at her.
Makino shook her head chuckling softly at him.

Suigetsu returned with a huge bowl of barbequed beef with vegetables over rice and a bowl of seafood soup. She set the bowls on the table then sat backwards in her chair. She picked up the soup and slurped it.
"A Royal Guard clan is a family who is attached to a family of nobility for their abilities. They are sworn to be loyal to that clan for the entire existence of either clan. They are to serve and protect that family, though not as servants. They are more like knights or samurai. They are warriors. The Fon Clan and the Ashimitsu Clan--before it was killed off--were both Royal Guard families to the Shihoin Clan. The Masanobu Clan is the Koriyama Clan's primary Royal Guard family."
She bit the meat off of a piece of shrimp and tossed the tail in the nearby trash bin. "A lot of these clans have been lost, unfortunately. Especially during the take over."

Mitsuo looked from the girl he still had no clue of who she was to Makino. "So you're not a Noble, but you're still of high standing?"
"Of sorts. Yes." Makino told him.
He looked back at the girl stuffing her face then back to Makino. "And she?"

"Suigetsu Koriyama, head of the Koriyama clan." Makino informed him.
He looked back to Suigetsu and blinked rathered appalled by her gorging herself. "Seriously?!" His tone laced with doubt.
"Mhm," Makino hummed. "Hard to believe ain't it."
"I told you you can't brand them all spoil brats. Suigetsu is living prof you can't." Shin added looking up from his soup spoon then shoving it in his mouth.
Makino chuckled shaking her head.
"So that's what you meant when you said more like the other way around?" Mitsuo questioned looking back at Suigetsu. "So what do I call her?"
"Suigetsu-sa--"
"SUIGETSU!" Suigetsu bellowed between bits narrowing her eyes at Makino.
Makino sighed. "When we are around others Suigetsu-sama. When it is just us. Call her 'Pain in the Butt'."

Mitsuo looked to Makino and shook his head. "How can you be so lax around her? I mean, you're her servant."
Suigetsu narrowed her eyes at Mitsuo. "Didn't I just say that Royal Guard families are not servants? They don't pitter patter around our home and do chores and wait on us hand and foot. They serve, but they are not servants." She finished off her soup and moved onto her barbeque. "Besides, it took me forever to get her to relax around me. I don't want to be worshipped for my position. I'm not even of noble blood in the first place. Before I was a Koriyama, I was a nameless street rat."

Mitsuo folded his arms over his chest and sat back in his chair looking at Suigetsu. "So you're just like Rukia Kuchiki. Your sister spread her legs for the right guy or was your brother boning the old mans wife?"
Before Mitsuo could speak another word, he found his chair kicked out from under him, his head hitting the floor hard and Makino had her sword drawn the tip at his throat. When he looked up at her her eyes were narrow and cold.
Shin was standing leaning over the table, looking down at him on the floor in shock.
"Dogs like you need to be taken out back and put down." Makino told him from between clenched teeth.
She jerked him up off the floor to his feet then kicked him in the back of the knees making his legs fold under him as he went to his knees before Suigetsu. Her hand went to the back of his head grabbing a handful of his hair and shoved his head into a bow.
"You will apologize to Suigetsu-sama or my next move will be to remove your tongue for your fowl words to her."
"Calm down!" Mitsuo retorted. "It was only a joke! Damn!"

Suigetsu chewed slowly then swallowed. She wiped her mouth again and waved Makino off of him. "Release him, Maki-chan. I'm not offended. I have no blood family to be offended over. And to clarify, my adoptive mother lost a child and was grief stricken. When my adoptive father took her out to Rukongai to get out of the mansion, they were robbed. I got them their money back. After that and seeing how I lived, Mother begged Father to take me back with them. I was skeptical at first, but I warmed up to them. When they got older and Father was unable to continue as head of the clan, I took over. Shortly before that, Suisenro and his twin sister Suirenko were born."
She stood up and crossed her arms. "Mitsuo was it? I don't give a damn what you say about me or my past. But if you run your mouth about the Koriyama Clan that has been more than generous to me, I will hurt you, understand? Other than that, we should get along swimmingly."
