So, Byakuya and Hisana. I personally have some WEIRD off pairings for both of them, but whatever. My friend would KILL me until I died if I put them with anyone else. Enjoy!
"Byakuya!" Hisana. I knew her voice anywhere.
It was a calm voice, not very high or too low. When angered, Hisana talked softly, gently, but that nearly never happened. When happy, she spoke too quickly, so fast it was hard to catch the words. Remembering our wedding day, her voice had been only this guilty once, her hand around mine so tight, her voice trembling...
"Byakuya, you- you shouldn't have done this. They... they don't like me! And I'm... not worthy!" She had been nervous of my family's reaction to our marriage, since she was only a commoner.
My first reaction was to deny her lack of worth, but I knew she would never believe me. "Hisana. You speak nonsense. As the heir to the Kuchiki clan, I have the right to pick my bride. And I chose you. No man shall dishonor you, or I shall kill them. You are a Kuchiki now-" She had looked at me with tears in her eyes, smiling softly and wrapping her small arms around my arm. She was so tiny, so delicate, I knew the first time I saw her she had to be protected.
So I had taken it upon myself. She was my perfect match, and for her, I would've done anything.
We lived as a married couple perfectly, she bringing me peace and normality, me bringing her love and comfort, all that we'd both ever craved. She had worried aloud that one day I might tire of her, an idea so ridiculous to me- did she not see how perfect she was? I myself never worried about losing her. She belonged to me- and I had never been denied anything I wanted.
Protecting her was difficult at times, though. The elders gave me much grief, for I still had not provided a heir after being married for a time. I knew if she heard this accusations, Hisana would worry, and fret, and the very thought of any discomfort to her made me shake with rage. I justified the lack of children to the fact we had only been married for a short while, and Onohana supported me, reminding the Clan that Hisana was young and so was I.
We were visited Onohana monthly, to see if Hisana was pregnant, under order of the Clan's Elders.
That is how we discovered she was going to die.
There was nothing to be done.
I would've given my own life- I would've mercilessly slaughtered everyone I knew, just to have her live.
But no. And her last request- find Rukia.
I'd thought I'd known everything about her. What she liked, how she smelled, what made her angry...
And now, after all this time, to find she had a sister.
"Byakuya! You must find her, she is so young and helpless, and I just left her! You have to find her, and treat her like... like our own child, like your daughter! Please Byakuya, for me..."
If she had asked me to do anything, I would've done it.
So I found Rukia.
Immediately.
The first sight of her almost killed me.
She was Hisana.
She had the same small frame, the same round innocent eyes. The long dark hair, and soft, gentle voice. And she had loved her sister dearly. But not nearly as much as me.
When we told her of Hisana's death, she had dropped to her knees, weeping.
I almost went to her, for seeing her weep was exactly like seeing Hisana weep.
But I didn't.
It was done. Hisana's will was honored. Rukia was now my sister.
After all I went through with Hisana, you'd think I'd know her voice.
"Byakuya!"
So when Rukia stepped into my office, a flood of disappointment went through me.
Rukia was now the only hope for the Kuchiki clan.
Because I wasn't going to try anymore.
This is so... depressing. But Byakuya is awesome, and I tired to get inside his mind for a bit. BYAKUYA OWWWNS YOU anyway.
