Adopted
I toss and turn at night trying to sleep, but I found sleep to be a paradise that I could not escape to. I was recently adopted by the Kuchiki clan. I had so many thoughts in my head, why did they want to adopt me and what would happen if I didn't fit in. When I got adopted into the Kuchiki clan I was ignored by everyone, even my new brother! I felt alone with no one to talk to. I couldn't even talk to my childhood friend Renji. When ever I saw my brother we never made eye contact not once. Not even when we ate meals together ,we just sat there in an uncomfortable silence. I was a little happy to have a home, but I felt unwelcome. Who wants to be in a house where the feel unwelcome? It is a very unpleasant feeling, at least in the rukongai I had friends that looked out for each other like one big family. My brother was very cold to me and acted like I wasn't there, but I knew the reason. Lots of people said that I looked like my brother's late wife so that's why he won't look at me. It does hurt though, I try to get through everyday not thinking about it, but yet and still I find myself doing the same thing I did many nights ago. I can't sleep all I do is think about my new brother and stay up hoping that it will all change in the morning, but it doesn't and I know that it won't but it doesn't stop me from hoping and praying that it will all end, like some terrible nightmare that goes away at day break. Alas change doesn't happen over night so all I can do is wish. Maybe a walk in the garden will help get some sleep.
I start to head toward the garden, but on the way there I spot my brother. I was praying that he didn't see me at all, and to make sure he didn't I hid out untill he was gone. Unfortunately for me, he never left and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was in my room in my bed and I started wondering how I ended up there in the first place. Then my thoughts fell on my brother, maybe he's not as bad as I thought.
