Rukia snuggle at her bed as the maid started knocking on her door. "Excuse me My Lady, your brother wants to see you." Damn, it was the last Sunday of summer vacation and tomorrow she would be entering her last year in high school and graduate. Rukia looks at the clock, it was 7:00 in the morning what would be so important to wake her up?

"I…. I'll be there in a minute." She forced herself up and went to open the curtains.

"Then he would be waiting for you at the garden to join him for breakfast." The maid's steps echoes in the hallway letting Rukia know that she was already gone.

Rukia just stood there waiting for the maid's steps to disappear. She sighed. She went to her bathroom to wash her face and to her surprise she gotten thinner again. She wonders when this unknown sickness of getting thinner every month started, she get sick so easily unlike before, there was a time she collapsed also. It was like her immune system is giving up on her. The thought comes on her mind, now she knows why her brother wants to see her. She stared at the mirror looking at her body. She gave it a disgusted look.

.o0o.

Byakuya waited patiently for his sister-in-law at the garden. He stared at the white roses that his wife used to take care of, how she would always show them to him. How she patiently waits for him that day to buy some flower seed, the day she planted them he was so sure that he will have the most beautiful garden.

Hisana was like the rose so pure and white. When the seed started to grow it was lively and healthy to look at just like Hisana, but as buds started to form she became a little distance and close herself to others, on the blossoming stage of the rose Hisana became sick but was still beautiful she would never let him worry about her. It was the day Rukia started living with them after spending her years in their father's house.

It was too fast, he could not handle it. That day was the time for the rose to come to its blooming point, he promised her that he would come back early to view the roses. Just before he could go out at the gate, Rukia started shouting for him telling him to go back and that Hisana collapsed.

Rukia and Byakuya started to panic. Hisana on the other side reassured them that she was fine. Rukia did not believe it and went to get a doctor. He took her to their room, as he laid her on the bed Hisana didn't stop looking at him and that made him troubled the most.

"Byakuya-sama….. Please forgive me." Hisana reached for his hand.

"I don't know what sin you have caused me to forgive you." He held her hand it was so cold. He tried his best to warm it up.

"I couldn't bear any children for you… this body of mine is weak. I'm sorry." she started crying. "I…. no matter what happens…. Won't forget you… my life has been very happy being with you these past five years…" she smiled at him "I'm sorry for asking so much, please take care of Rukia…." Hisana look around but Rukia was not there. She hopes that everything would be fine for her. "I love you…. Byakuya-sama…" she closed her eyes.

And then she passed away from this world.

.o0o.

"Nii-sama?"

Byakuya look at the person standing next to him, it was Rukia. They were so alike that he almost hug Rukia when he stood up. "I heard that you collapse." He said looking at her, she gotten thinner it was the same as Hisana.

"Oh… yes but I'm feeling better now." Rukia then step back and swing around.

"Rukia stop it!" Byakuya got worried.

"See! I'm oka…." Rukia stop suddenly, her vision gotten all blurry and her body feels so heavy.

Before Rukia collapsed at the ground Byakuya went to catch her. "Rukia!" she could not hear what he was saying anymore the only thing she remembers is his brother's worried face.

Rukia open her eyes slowly adjusting to the light. She didn't like this atmosphere… hated this smell….. she was in the hospital she guessed. She was definitely in the most expensive room of the hospital. She wondered what time it is. Just before she was about to look at the hanging clock the door open and for some reason she pretended to be asleep. What the hell am I doing?

An old man went inside followed by his brother.

"Please tell me what is wrong with her body." Byakuya sit down near Rukia's bed.

The doctor looks down and was trying to say something but could not do so.

"Doctor Kurosaki!" Byakuya was losing his patient.

"I believe she is suffering from a terminal illness." Kurosaki Isshin said with a sad look on his face. "This disease is still unknown from the whole world" he continued. "We don't even know where it came from and what it really is, we only know that this disease is passed down 80% by genes. As I recall your wife is a terminal patient."

It hit Byakuya. Hisana died from this unknown disease. And so Rukia would…..

"Doctor Kurosaki, please… I would provide you with everything you need… just do something to prevent it." Even if he offers the world he knows that Rukia won't be save anymore.

"You know that it will be pointless Mr. Kuchiki, instead…" Isshin look at Rukia, she was only 18 years old the same age as his son but they were opposite he was so healthy and everything. "…give her happiness and the loved she would want from you."

"How long….. for how long will she… lived?" Byakuya closes his eyes. It was too much for him to handle it again.

"6 months or less Mr. Kuchiki" Isshin said it sincerely. He can't believe he will let someone died again from this unknown disease just like his wife died in his hand. "I'll excuse myself now." He went out of the room leaving Byakuya and Rukia.

"Rukia I know your awake." He said without looking at her.

"Nii-sama, I….. " Rukia started crying. She can't afford to die she promise Hisana that she won't leave Byakuya alone.

.o0o.

"Kurosaki-kun, Good morning!" Orihime Inoue said cheerfully as she exaggeratedly waves her hand in the air.

"The entrance ceremony will begin, we should be going now." A guy with glasses said while looking at his watch.

"Yeah, I know Ishida. Is everybody here already?" Ichigo Kurosaki said looking at the people in front of him. "I wonder if this is fate…. We're all classmates again."

"Isn't that good?" a woman with an f-cup breast said.

"Well, I heard that we are going to have a transfer student and she came from Tokyo." Yumichika Ayasegawa said as he fixes his hair.

"At this time of year? Isn't Tokyo have more good school then here in Karakura?" Renji Abarai said suspiciously.

"Doesn't matter." Ichigo didn't give a damn. "Let's go Toshiro might be waiting for us."

"Ahhh! I forgot he said he'll be waiting at the bench for us!" Rangiku Matsumoto clumsily said.

"He'll definitely yell at you for making him wait for…. 10 minutes." Ishida Uryuu said impatiently who wanted to go already.

As they walk inside the campus a guy with a strong build muscle and a light blue hair smiled devilishly. "Just you wait Kursosaki Ichigo, I'll get you down on your knees.
