1st Cry: Legendary Girl
'There were words that unspoken
There were feelings that hidden
There were hopes that unseen
And there were truths behind the lies'
-Reisha Fujiwara
The girl closed her book and put her pen on her desk, sighing heavily. She was the one whom wrote the poem, she likes to write poems. She lives with her parents, not the real one, but they are the one whom had taken care of her since she was a baby. They live in Kusajishi district, the worst district in Rukongai. They are a poor and inharmonic family. Her father, Kyoseki Arakawa, was a drunker and her mother, Kisaki Arakawa, was a prostitute. She couldn't bear it, her family just the worst, after all
She is a great shinigami. She even had her own zanpakutou in such age. But, her family prevented her to join any squad. They chose to live in the north forest of Kusajishi district in order to prevent anyone from slacking Reisha
One day, a group from Kuchiki noble family came to their house. The old-man named Ginrei Kuchiki told them that he would took Reisha to be the fiancée of his grandson, Byakuya Kuchiki. In exchange, Ginrei would give the family an amount of money. Kyoseki and Kisaki nodded, pushed Reisha forward and took the money. They seem don't care much about Reisha, they care for the money. Reisha sighed and took her leave to Kuchiki manor
Kuchiki manor
Guardian: Ginrei Kuchiki-sama has arrived!
The guardian stood in both sides of the gate, allowing her and Ginrei to come in. When Ginrei and she were inside the house, some maids arrived and drag her to a room. The maids cleaned her and put a pinky white kimono on her. When the maid went to put some make up, Reisha rejected softly
Reisha: sorry, I didn't mean to be impolite, but, I do hate make-ups
The maids smiled and just brushed Reisha's hair. Letting the hair flows until her waist. One of the maids put a white ribbon on Reisha's hair. Everything looks so perfect
They picked Reisha to the main room and made Reisha waited there
As Reisha waits, Ginrei come in with a man behind him. They sat in front of Reisha and silenced for a while
Ginrei: Reisha Fujiwara, I think you know why you were dragged here
Reisha: yes, Kuchiki-sama
Ginrei: this is your fiancé to be, he is my grandson, Byakuya Kuchiki
Byakuya slowly opened his eyes. He caught the sight of Reisha with a pinky white kimono. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever met. And, he had to admit it, much more lovely and beautiful than Hisana
Reisha: good afternoon, Byakuya-sama
Byakuya's eyes widened. For a commoner, she knew manners.
Byakuya nodded and keeping his cool once again
Ginrei: your room is in the opposite side with Byakuya's room, the maid will show you. This is enough for now on, the engagement will announced tonight. We've already got things you need, and also your zanpakutou, understood?
Reisha: yes, Kuchiki-sama
Ginrei: good, now the maid would pick you to your room, get used to it
Reisha just nodded as she saw Ginrei and Byakuya leaves the room. The maids came and pick her up to her room. Once she got to her room, she saw her zanpakutou on the side of her bed. She sat down and picked her zanpakutou. She closed her eyes and talked to her zanpakutou
Haru…
Yes, master?
It's been a long time since we getting into a conversation like this, don't we?
Yes, I've missed the warmth
Haru… I'm engaged now…
Engaged?
Yes, I am engaged to the 28th head of Kuchiki house, Byakuya Kuchiki
How come?
Ginrei-sama asked me and my family to trade me with some money. My family picks the money than me, and they want me to be Byakuya-sama's fiancée. And then, here I am
How about the marriage? If there's engagement, there's a marriage
I don't know, the announcement would be done by the night
You need to love him slowly, master
I don't know if I can do this, Haru
Let this flow, master, I am here for you
Thank you, Haru
She smiled and opened her eyes. She started to clean up and arranged the things in her bedroom. She amazed the people in Kuchiki manor get her book, the book she usually write some poems. She changed her clothes then drifted to sleep
6 pm, Kuchiki manor
Reisha woke up and headed to the bathroom to clean herself. She changed her clothes into a tidy one and wrote a poem
'When you forced to marry someone, would you love them in an instant?
Love needs preparation. It cannot be forced all the way
Love needs time. It cannot be done in a blink
I couldn't barely loving someone I just met
It needs further action
Even if he were so handsome, so adorable, so cute, and so attractive
I won't love him. Not in a blink of an eye
That's why, I don't believe about love at first sight'
-Reisha Fujiwara
Suddenly, two maids opened the door to her room
Maid: Fujiwara-sama, please change your clothes into this kimono. The lords had waiting for you in the main hall. Please change immediately
Reisha: I'll be quick
Reisha quickly dressed in a black kimono with white leaves as the ornaments. She tied her hair in a nice and perfect sweet ponytail with white ribbon. She came to the main hall with two maids following her. Suddenly, Ginrei catch up with her and whispering something
Ginrei: listen, Fujiwara. I made you my granddaughter in law because of your skills and manners. Not because of your family, do you understand?
Reisha: yes, Kuchiki-sama
Ginrei: don't make your family got the wrong impression. Just because you are now will be engaged to my grandson, that don't make them part of Kuchiki family
Reisha: I don't care about them, Kuchiki-sama, they aren't my real parents, and I don't have any
Ginrei: good girl, now come immediately to the main hall
Reisha: wakarimashita, Kuchiki-sama
Main hall
Reisha sat beside Byakuya, closing her eyes and sat silently as Ginrei announced her engagement. When Ginrei called her and Byakuya, they stood up and Byakuya put a ring around Reisha's middle finger. They sat again after Ginrei told them to
After the party, they came back to their own room. Reisha changed her clothes into a sleeping dress and lay in her bed. She knew very well about being a fiancée of the heir of the Kuchiki family. She should never leave the manor without any permission from her fiancé or the fiancé's parents. She felt that her life would be so chained up
