Chapter 1 Brother?

Four years and 7 months later .... / 1800 around the world of the living

A small boy of four years old walked calmly along the corridor, he was dressed in a classic kimono and a blue hakama on top, he was about a meter tall, there was a white scarf around his neck, and slightly bluish hair fell from his head, which was fastened in a small tail, with a white ribbon on which sat a strange blue butterfly.

This is the protagonist of this story, Enki Kuchiki, who walked through the empty corridors of the family mansion.

* What do you think happened? Grandfather rarely calls us * - I asked my companion while walking to the main hall, where they are probably already waiting for me.

The answer was only a small rustle, from somewhere above, otherwise, as always. But I don't complain a bit about my interlocutor, because this is a small creature that outwardly looks like an ordinary blue butterfly, the third creature in this house that does not ignore me and is always with me. I think it is necessary to tell more about the current situation, what is happening to me.

My name is Enki Kuchiki, I am the "instrument" in the hands of the elders of the house Kuchiki and Shihoin, who used my birth to forge an alliance between two great noble families and to pressure the current heads of both houses, my grandfather - Geynrei Kuchiki and my mother - Reiko Shihoin , the only people who care about me.

My grandfather Geinray Kuchiki is the captain of the 6th division of the Gotei 13, as I heard from the conversations of some servants, he is very strong, but because of the title of captain he has a lot of work, so he comes home every few days.

My father's name was Kira Kuchiki, he was a lieutenant of the 6th detachment, but he died on a mission even before I was born, so I don't know much about him, my mother says that outwardly I look a lot like him, but I don't know if this is so.

My Mom is the current head of House Shihoin, she is a former lieutenant of the 2nd Division and is very dangerous when she is angry, but she never beat me or shouted at me. Mom almost every day visits me at Kuchiki's house, but our meetings only last about an hour because of her affairs as the head of the clan, she wanted to pick me up at the Shihoin family's estate, but according to the contract until 12 years old, I am obliged to live in Kuchiki's house.

And now let's return to the question why almost all the inhabitants of this house ignore me, this is due to my reatsu, or rather, due to the scanty amount of reatsu, which is not much superior to the reatsu of an ordinary living person.

The more reatsu a soul has, the more it looks like a living person; souls with a small amount of reatsu often do not even need to eat or drink, but with its increase, human desires appear.

As a child, the blood of two great nobles flows in a cat, I am obliged to have a large number of reatsu, but in the eyes of the servants, I am just garbage on which there is no need to waste time. They look at me from high because of the amount of reatsu, knowing that they can die because of this, so I feel sorry for these narrow-minded people that do not worry about their lives.

You may ask why a four year old child calmly talks about someone's death, as if it were a common thing? The point is the union of two great nobles, which, of course, few people liked in noble circles, even Council 46 is looking for an excuse to restrict the activities of those old people, but more often than not, the dissatisfied simply hire a killer, and what is the reason for the union? That's right - I, they think if I don't exist, then the union will also fall apart, in some ways they are right, but over the four years of my life, there have been about two hundred murder attempts against me, of which only three were close to success, but I as you can see it is still alive.

The reason for this was my blue companion, as I called him Levi, he is my spirit, or rather his small part that escaped sealing, which I am sincerely glad, because without this little companion it would be very boring in this empty house.

So Levi, he is protecting me from all ill-wishers who have bad intentions towards me, even if he is small, but fast and strong, my grandfather said that while he was near me, nothing threatened me until one of the first officers attacked me ...

Yes, I know that all my reatsu and spirit are temporarily sealed, grandfather Geynray told me about this about a year ago, he strictly told me not to tell anyone about it, because otherwise everyone will have problems, he also said that only four know the truth the person in including me is my grandfather, my mother and another member of the Shihoin family, but said that he can be trusted.

Well, behind these memories? Or, what was it now, I reached the main room, opening the door, I see Geynrei's grandfather sitting on the tatami and drinking tea, he slowly turns his head towards the door that I opened.

«You are long Enki» - he said to me, in a voice which makes it difficult to understand whether he is angry or not

«Good morning, Ojii-sama» - I said, making a slight bow, in accordance with all the rules of etiquette.

«Can I ask the reason why you called me?» - I asked the most important question in this situation.

«It is high time for you to meet the heir of the Kuchiki house, Kuchiki Byakuya, your older brother, he graduated from the Academy of Spiritual Arts yesterday and today he must return home» - said the grandfather with a dispassionate face that is almost always on him.

I was a little shocked, even though I knew that the day of meeting my older brother would come sooner or later, but I wanted this meeting not to happen soon, but rather not to take place at all.

Grandfather always said only good things about him, that he was the pride of the family and a genius that appears once in several generations, but sometimes grandfather said that he was slightly arrogant and too correct.

Suddenly grandfather turned his head towards the wall and squinted, as if noticing something, then he got up and went to the exit from the hall, reaching the door, turning his head to me and said:

«Send Enki, Byakuya's Crew has almost arrived.»

I obediently followed him to the main gate that separates the Kuchiki family's territory from the rest of the Seireitei.

Soon after we approached the entrance, the servants opened the gates, letting in a squared carriage with the Kuchiki family emblem on the door, when the carriage in front of us stopped, a young boy about 1.55 meters tall with a disgruntled look came out of it, there was a scarf around his neck, and he was wearing was in the usual male uniform of students of the academy, which is given to all students.

«With the return of Byakuya, I see you grew up in the 5 years that you spent within the walls of the academy» Geynrei said with a slight smile to his grandson.

Grandfather's words made the young man look in our direction, from the beginning he looked at grandfather and said.

«I'm back old man» - his curving face has not changed much, but with his eyes he smiled.

Then his gaze fell on me and became gloomy, instinctively I hid behind the back of Geynrei's grandfather.

«Ho ho ho» - Grandpa laughed slightly, and then said:

«I will introduce you to each other»

«Enki, the gloomy youth in front of you Byakuya Kuchiki»

«Byakuya, this is Enki Kuchiki, your brother .....» - said my grandfather, placing me in front of him and putting his hands on my shoulders.
