Bleach: Uncertainty
Introduction: Not Alone
Matsumoto knew that winter was soon approaching Soul Society as she felt the cold winds chill her down to her bones. Once again she sat in the middle of the forest by herself, leaning on a sakura tree with a crumpled paper held tightly in her grip. The wind was gently playing with her hair as tears trickled down her pale face.
"I was never really good at decision making", she thought, her fingers unconsciously tugging at her hair. She tried to neatly unfold the paper as she held it directly in front of her face. She read its contents once again and slammed her head back against the tree with a grunt.
"Why did these specific orders have to end up on my shoulders?" she sighed. She gently folded the paper and kept it inside her shinigami uniform. She finally decided that she wouldn't think of her dilemma any more that day. That was the easiest decision she made so far.
She sat up and wrapped her arms around her legs, her chin resting on her knees. She would go back to her quarters as soon as it got dark. As she drifted off to sleep, she felt a hand grab her shoulder tightly. She looked up expectantly only to find disappointment swelling in her heart.
"Oh. It's just you Hisagi-kun. What's the matter?" she tried her hardest to mask the depression in her voice but it was all in vain.
"Don't you think that I should ask you that question?" he slowly sat down next to her still using her shoulder as support.
They both sat together silently, watching the sakura petals dancing with each other as they slowly descended to the ground. Hisagi didn't know what to say, let alone comfort his needing friend.
"Sooo…did you tell Histugaya Taichou yet?" he tried to make it sound like a casual question, but to his dismay, it only made Matsumoto burst into a fresh fit of tears.
Hisagi's eyes widened as he was unsure what to do next. He rubbed the back of his neck while he cautiously led his other arm around her back in an effort to console her. For a few minutes, it seemed like she was calming down, so he thought she was going to be ok.
Suddenly, she threw herself onto his chest and let out a week's worth of tears. It freaked him out for a moment until he guessed that this was the best thing he could do for her.
He knew, since he had been following her out in the woods for the past week. He had been watching her let out only a few drops of tears each day. It was good for her to express her bottled up feelings once in a while. He grasped her tightly; unaware that he had just softly kissed her on her head.
"Shh…it's going to be just fine Matsumoto. You'll see." She remained rigid in his embrace, embarrassed that she appeared so vulnerable in anyone's eyes. She tried to think of things that would make her stop but the tears just kept on coming out. "It's alright… Ikkaku, Yumichika, Kira, Renji and…umm…I'm here. You're not alone." Her reply was a shrill sob and a fresh batch of tears.
They remained that way for a considerable amount of time. Oblivious to the time, they just stayed there, both of them waiting for the tears to stop. Who would've thought that sunrise was only a few hours away.
