Prologue: First Snow.
It was early in November, when the first snow of the season came down in Karakua Town.
Rukia Kuchiki, the very daughter of the famous Kuchiki clan's Lord, sat on her bed looking out the window, "It's snowing…."
She sighed, "I wonder how much longer I'll be able to see this stuff…."
There was a knock on her door, "Rukia?"
Hisana Kuchiki, poked her head inside of Rukia's room.
"Mother," Rukia smiled warmly toward her mother who had the exact same features as her, but older, "what brings you here?"
"I-it's time for school, dear…" Hisana smiled a sad smile, "If you're too tired… then-"
"Oh no, mother I'm fine, really," Rukia slowly got up, not wanting to hurt a nerve on her stomach. She flinched when she DID hit a nerve. Shit.
Hisana noticed her daughter flinch; she quickly ran across her room and held her daughter, "Are you alright, dear?"
Rukia lifted her head weakly and smiled, "Yes, of course, mother…. Mother, why are you crying?" Rukia noticed a small tear run down on the left corner of her mother's eye.
Hisana wiped the unexpected tear off her face and helped her daughter stand up. "Are you sure you want to go to school today?"
Rukia smiled, "Of course, mother."
Hisana smiled back and sighed. Rukia… please don't push yourself too much….
Rukia and Hisana walked down the stairs to the kitchen, where Byakuya Kuchiki and Ulquiorra Cifer, were having breakfast.
"Good morning, Father, and cousin Ulqi," Rukia smiled and entered the kitchen with her mother still holding her hand.
Byakuya and Ulquiorra smiled back and greeted her, "Good morning, Rukia."
Rukia carefully sat in her seat, next to Ulquiorra, and looked down on her food. They were having crumbled eggs and toast- something she didn't really like but didn't hate, also.
"Rukia… it snowed today, you know?" Ulquiorra suddenly spoke up.
Rukia looked up at her cousin and smiled, "Yes I did, I was looking at them this morning….
"Those white fluffy things- so pure, so white- it makes me calm and light-hearted," she smiled, lost in thought. "I just wonder how long I could see them in this world…."
After she said those words everyone became silent. It was an uncomfortable silence. And Hisana didn't like it. "Rukia… you better eat fast, or else you'll be late for school- look at Ulqui-kun, he's already done with his food."
Looking at Ulquiorra's plate, Rukia sighed. "But he was here before I was and was EATING without us!"
Ulquiorra smiled slightly, "Actually, Ruki-chan, I was talking to Byakuya-sama the whole time, waitng for you and Hisana-sama."
Rukia frowned, "I'm going to eat now."
Byakuya, who was silent the whole time, smiled at his daughter's behavior and watched her eat slowly. It broke his heart to watch Rukia eat like that. When she was younger, she would always eat fast and have food all over her cute face and grin widely at Hisana asking for more. But those days were gone, after that horrible incident.
Rukia was half finished with her food when she felt her gut flip over and twist in her stomach. She blocked her mouth with her right hand and held her stomach with her left, and ran as fast as she could towards the nearest bathroom.
"Rukia!" Three of them cried, following her to the bathroom.
"UUUUAAAAKKKKKEEEE!" (*a/n that was the puking sound*)
Rukia puked her guts out in the toilet, Ulquiorra patting her back, while she puked more and more.
Hisana broke into her tears, outside of the bathroom, hearing her beloved daughter suffer like that. Byakuya held his wife and tried his best not to burst into tears himself in front of Hisana.
"Oh, Byakuya-sama…. O-our d-daught-ter….. sh-she's… suff-fering…. B-because of … u-us!" Hisana cried into Byakuya's chest and held him like there was no tomorrow.
Byakuya held his wife tighter and slowly patted her in her back. " I know, Hisana. But there isn't one thing we can do…"he said, hoplessly.
Hisana cried more and more, until they heard the toilet flush and Ulquiorra came out, looking relieved and sighed. "She's going to take a shower."
Byakuya nodded, Hisana ran into the bathroom to help her daughter take a shower.
"Ulquiorra… is she-?"
"Brother… sh-she… she puked blood…." Ulquiorra lowered his head. "She's… getting worst…."
