A crying, heartless, hateful reaper

By: Hunter-Axe

Chapter One: The end

The soul society was quiet as always, peaceful, and sleeping, but not everyone was sleeping. The Gotei 13 building, division ten had its lights on, there was a young boy er- a young captain. He did not want to be called such, but no one was going to take a cute little boy seriously now were they? Besides that, he was very busy… at 2 in the morning. Yes, he cursed under his breath for letting his lieutenant get away with staying at Kira's birthday party for much longer. He though 'it wouldn't hurt, I can finish the papers myself' boy was he wrong. His eyes were burning from staring into the paper for so long. He couldn't even read strait, all the letters were blurry. He was so tired he didn't even notice the door opening until it closed very loudly.

"Huh!? W-who's there?"

"Toshiro taicho, what are you doing up so late? You should be sleeping." The form revealed himself to be Byakuya, someone Toshiro did not want to see at the moment.

"Listen Byakuya taicho, I let Matsumoto stay at Kira's party, it was my mistake and now I have to finish these papers."

"Let me assist you. That way the papers can be done in time and you can get some sleep."

"Okay, do whatever you want." Byakuya sat opposite from Toshiro, but he could still smell Byakuya's cherry blossom scent. And Byakuya smelled Toshiro's vanilla scent. Both were agitated by the other's scent, both wanting to be by the other. Byakuya still dazed but Toshiro snapped out of it. He knew better than anyone he wasn't the type to go back. Though that was what Byakuya was hoping for Toshiro to do.

"I know there is another reason why you are here." He said while finishing the last paper. Byakuya looked up and shrugged it off, but Toshiro knew better. Byakuya knew as well looking away, not wanting to see that face Toshiro was making.

"You know me best Toshiro. Yes I am here but I take see that you why." Byakuya looked emotionless.

"The answer is no then; you know I don't back-

"Can't you?"

"No Byakuya, what's done is done. You know-

"That you miss me right?" Toshiro didn't speak. Byakuya knew, so did Toshiro. But he couldn't.

"I can't, you know what you did. I can't forgive for that. But I cannot leave you alone. Let's be friends instead or just best exes."

"I can't! I can't have half of you. I want all of you." Byakuya said losing his calm demeanor.

"Then you know where's the exit is. And when you see Matsumoto, tell her, her captain would love to speak to her." Love then one thing that seems to appear in every subject. No matter what He said, Toshiro will never forget, ever.

"Sure thing." He said returning to his calm state and walking away. In the end Byakuya knew, so did Toshiro, they both knew Toshiro wouldn't forget. Byakuya wouldn't. They wouldn't forget the summer, or how it ended. They wouldn't forget, but some was trying to. Someone who was watching them throughout the summer, watching them at this moment, watching Byakuya leave, watching Toshiro was he walked toward the couch and sleeping on it. Watching Toshiro slumber at the couch and smiling.

"Ku, ku, ku." And the figure left into the night, but was not gone for good. He would wait; wait in the morning so he can make him forget. To make new memories with him, so the old ones can die horribly and fade away. Starting tomorrow, he would make it his missions to make Toshiro forget about Byakuya, forever.
