Kanashii's asleep, in the middle of a dream.

Kanashii's Dream

"Kill them all, Byakuya?" Kanashii questions, looking around Konoha.

"Kiyoko! No! Please!" Hana says just before her blood splatters everywhere.

"You've done well, Kanashii Abarai." Byakuya says in an approving voice.

"Kiyoko? Why do you have a swor_" Sasuke's blood spurts everywhere.

Kanashii wakes up in a sweat. She's lying on a singly bed, in a room with a large window overlooking a lake. It's midday.

"You're awake." Byakuya says, walking into the room.

"Yeah, bad dream." Kanashii says with a sigh as she closes her eyes.

"You were screaming out 'Hana' in your sleep." Byakuya says in an emotionless voice.

"Yeah, well, can't really help what I say in my sleep, Byakuya." Kanashii says, looking out the window in her attempt to avoid eye contact.

"I'd like you to meet someone." Byakuya says.

"Okay, who is it?" Kanashii asks, looking at Byakuya with interested eyes.

"My younger sister, Rukia." Byakuya says.

"Rukia?" Kanashii says in a confused voice.

"Yep." Byakuya says. Suddenly, a girl walks in.

"Byakuya, Renji's looking for his younger sister...Oh, you must be Kanashii Abarai." The girl says, looking at Kanashii.

"Yes, Rukia. Kanashii, this is Rukia Kuchiki." Byakuya says, gesturing towards the girl.

"Cool, nice to meet you, Renji's younger sister." Rukia says with a smile.

"You ask well, Rukia, younger sister to Byakuya." Kanashii says. She smiles when she sees Rukia sneer for a moment.

"Well, seeing as Renji is waiting for you...Kanashii...you better go." Byakuya says.

"All right." Kanashii says, walking towards the door.

"I'm going to talk to Renji anyway, let's walk there together!" Rukia says with a smile.

"...Sorry, what?" Kanashii asks, wondering why she'd heard Hana's voice.

"Let's go see Renji together! I'm going there anyway." Rukia says.

"Oh, okay. Let's go." Kanashii says. Her and Rukia walk downstairs, and run into Renji.

"Sister!" Renji says, looking down at Kanashii.

"Hey, Renji." Kanashii says, waving her hand.

"How are you?" Renji asks, examining his sister.

"I'm all right." Kanashii says, smiling.

"Well, I've got to run you two, but I'll be home later!" Rukia says, waving at the siblings.

"Where are you going, Rukia?" Renji asks.

"To the human world to kill a hollow. Captain Ukitake's sending me." Rukia says with a shrug.

"Okay." Renji says. Rukia walks out the door.

"So, how long have you and Rukia known each other?" Kanashii asks, looking at Renji in a calculating way.

"What makes you think that, Ashii?" Renji asks, looking away.

"I'm not blind, Renji. Now, I don't have anything to do today, so I'm going to bed." Kanashii says, yawning.

"Sounds great, Kanashii. You need the rest. Sleep well." Renji says as Kanashii turns around and starts walking away.

"Thanks, big brother!" Kanashii says, holding a hand over her head. She walks upstairs, back to her room, and falls asleep again.

Kanashii's Dream

Kanashii's killing people. She sees the terror in their eyes before she kills them. She sees a flash of Hana's eyes glowing deep blue. She sees her and Sasuke's first kiss. She sees her and Hana hanging out at the academy. Then she sees blood...lots of blood. Flowing endlessly.
