Almost Siblings
Had this idea written out on my list but never really got to doing it since I've come to know what Sode no Shirayuki and Senbonzakura look like and act. So I don't own Bleach.
Ever since Muramasa was defeated, and they were allowed to appear by will, Sode no Shirayuki would almost show up at random to surprise the woman that was her master. Today was no different. Following after the Kuchiki that was adopted into the noble family, the kimono wearing spirit glanced around at the seireitai for anything different. Every now and then she would see one of Rukia's comrades and nod to them.
"Sode why are you out today?" Rukia questioned as she turned to the geisha dressed styled spirit.
"I felt like it." The zanpaku-to spirit answered and looked at the Kuchiki household. She knew that Senbonzakura was out because of something fluctuating with his spiritual pressure. Walking to the house, she heard the younger Kuchiki follow after her. She just hoped that Senbon wasn't drunk.
Stepping into the older Kuchiki's office, the woman winced at the sound of something hitting another object that was hard. Opening one eye then another, she blinked. Her fears were right. The samurai dressed spirit was stumbling around the office where Byakuya was glaring at it with all his might. Grabbing the man, she pulled out the other spirit just in time for Rukia to step in.
"Nii-sama what happened in here? It looks like a tornado or something went through." Rukia commented just as Sode no Shirayuki closed the door. Looking down at the other zanpaku-to spirit, she shook her head.
Sitting down at the babbling man, she continued to roll her eyes at his slurred speech. Was this how Byakuya acted in private or a side that would never be showed? Grabbing him, she forced him to lie down. "Lay down Senbonzakura or I'll freeze you to that spot."
Hearing the threat, the spirit that didn't show his identity laid down and looked at the sky that was still bright. He didn't mean to get that way around his owner but it just happened. Sighing, the drunken spirit rolled over and ran a hand through some grass. "Byakuya probably hatesss me."
"I highly doubt that even if you did get carried away." Shirayuki commented and looked at the man. Sighing, she looked at the sky for anything that might perk her interest.
"He's probably irritated with me because I made a mess. I'm sure of it." Senbon continued and yelped at the sharp slap on his arm that wasn't covered. Looking at the woman, he got up from where he laid. "It's true!"
"Quit trying to make it sound like he hates you. You are he, like he is you. All zanpaku-to spirits are one with their masters because we were born with them. You know that." Shirayuki reminded as she looked at the man.
Senbon nodded and looked at the woman that was beside him. He wasn't sure – maybe it was the fact that Byakuya would give his life to protect Rukia since she was the last thing he had that connected him to Hisana – but he felt the same way with Sode no Shirayuki. Smiling under his mask, he slung an arm over her shoulder, pulling the other spirit close.
Shirayuki smiled a little at the embrace and hugged him. If only Byakuya would do that for Rukia so she would feel welcome but it wasn't like him. It was almost like he was nearly void of any emotion unless it comes out at a certain time. At least, however, they can share their emotions freely and show that they were almost siblings.
So how was it? Please review.
