The Good Life
Rukia looked out at the sakura trees and thought back on her life in the Rukongai her times with her Nakama and wiped away a silent tear.
"Don't cry!" She scolded herself; "You're a Kuchiki now you're not supposed to cry" but remembering the look on Renji's face as she told him she'd been adopted into the Kuchiki family and that she would be graduating right away just made her cry harder. She couldn't help it, the thought of not seeing her best friend again made the tears harder to stop.
She closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to look at the trees that reminded her that she was a noble now.
"Why ME!" she yelled at the trees as if they would have a response.
"WHY was I chosen to become a noble? WHY?" she continued to shout uselessly out at the trees, tears still seeping out from under her eyelids. Of course when she had asked these questions she didn't expect an answer.
"You will find out in time" spoke the soft but commanding voice of Byakuya who she hadn't realized was standing behind her.
Rukia quickly wiped away her tears and turned around to face him dropping to her knees.
"Forgive me Nii-Sama, I did not notice you there" she mumbled as her knees hit the floor. She glanced up at him through her eyelashes, her beautiful amethyst eyes full of confusion.
She decided at this moment as Byakuya turned and walked away without another word she hated "the good life" as the adults in Rukongai called it, she hated being noble. She watched him walking away and the moment he was out of her sights she stood and faced the trees
"Yeah I definitely hate the Good life" she whispered to the silent trees with a frown.
