Hisana story. This girl deserves more attention.


Pearls
are beautiful
Soft creamy sheen
deceiving many

It's the inside that counts

Pearls
are born of hurt
of pain
of death

It's the inside that counts

Pearls
do not show that grief
only outer beauty
and never pain

We never see the pain

But it's the inside that counts

Who was Kuchiki Hisana?

For many she was something new to gossip about. 'The Kuchiki House has adopted a commoner!' they say. 'Kuchiki Hisana is her name!' they say. 'She will be Byakuya-sama's wife!' they say.

But she was more than that.

For the Kuchiki House she was a scandal. What! Our Kuchiki Byakuya, our Clan Head, woos a petty Rukongai civilian! She has brought shame to our family, formerly the only one of the Four clean of rumors! Think of the talk! What was Byakuya-san thinking!

No, she was more than that.

For others she was a kind, warm, sisterly figure. Understanding, gentle, always smiling, always wanting to help. Always with a hint of sadness laying under her soft smile, a sadness that she always tried, and failed, to hide, one that she never confided about in anyone, even up til death.

There was a reason for that sadness.

For Kuchiki Rukia, she was the late Hisana-sama, a look-alike, and her ticket to acceptance in the Kuchiki Clan. Now, she is a blood-sister who abandoned her in the cruel clutches of Rukongai in exchange for her own life. And yet, Kuchiki Rukia feels no bitterness towards her.

...Should she?

For Kuchiki Byakuya, she was a lover. The first truly beautiful soul he had ever come across. Different from the arrogant, pompous men and women he was surrounded by. In short, she was different from the rest of his family. His grandfather seemed to be the only one who did not hate her. Kuchiki Byakuya...loved her. She changed him. And he asked for her hand in marriage, which she accepted.

And yet...she was much more than even that.

Who was Kuchiki Hisana?

Such an unanswered mystery! It is one that lays undisturbed, one that was never truly looked into,

Once upon a time, she lived in District 78. And back then she was not of the kind, gentle demeanor that she showed in Soul Society. Her name was not Hisana. Spy, assassin, traitor! Yes...that was the true form of "Hisana".

And how did she come to be the Kuchiki Head's wife? This will be the story that unravels the past...of the woman who was more than she let herself seem, known to many as Kuchiki Hisana.


Just the prologue. A first attempt of mine at an angsty-romance. Review?
