Authors Note: This story is going to be pretty much like the prequel and pretty much how everything begun between Renji and Aiko (look at secret loves 2 part story) However for those who have not read it because *cough* the lime in the story on that one here is the summary. Please any advice, comments, reviews and constructive criticism is accepted and no flames please.
Summary: They were divided by social status; she was a noble since she was the daughter of Byakuya Kuchiki while he was just the liuntenant of the 6th division. Here is how their story begun.
Chapter 1- Death
It was another usual morning in the kuchiki household as usual there was complete and utter silence however this morning was different than all of the other mornings and the reason why it was because the health of Hisana Kuchiki had taken a turn for the worst. During the last couple of months her health had been deteriorating due to an strange illness that had no cure and both herself and byakuya were aware that she didn't have much longer to live. Byakuya kneeled next to her on her deathbed as he was holding her hand softly.
"Byakuya-sama, please take care of our daughter Aiko. Please love and protect her as if I was still here. I am so sorry, Byakuya-sama as I do have another request and that is for you to find my sister; Rukia. Do not tell her I am her sister as I do not have the right to be called her sister. Please protect, love and care for them both as you have done with me."
Byakuya nodded agreeing that he will fulfill the requests that his wife had requested but before he could say another word he could here that someone was approaching the room that they both were in and before he could react he heard the voice their own child.
"Father…Mother"-the voice of small girl cried out
Hisana smiled as she had heard the child and Byakuya couldn't help but to smile down softly at her. He got up and slid the door open to reveal a child no older than three years of age. The child had raven black hair that reached down to her shoulders and gray eyes with a light hint of blue. She pulled out her hands out of the pockets of her pink kimono and took the hand of his father as they both walked over to Hisana.
"Mother.."-the girl whispered
Hisana reached out to the child's hand and gave her a weak smile as she knew that her time was starting to draw near. "My beloved Aiko please be good and I am sorry I won't be here when you need me the most. Please know that I love you and that I'll always be with you."
As Hisana whispered those words to her daughter she had closed her eyes and her touch had become cold and she was gone. Byakuya was fully aware of what had happened, he remained silent as he picked up his daughter and held her.
"Is Mother alright..?"- Aiko asked not understanding the situation
"She is in a deep slumber aiko"
Byakuya turned away as he carried his daughter out of the room so he can make the arrangements for the funeral of his wife and also begin to fulfill his promise to his wife which was to find Rukia.
