Byakuya sat alone, watching the light dance on the walls as the sun set behind him. His memories of Hisana suddenly were in his mind more than anything, and though he was normally very emotionless, his back was hunched, and he showed no trace of the regal air he was normally surrounded by.
The table before him creaked as he leaned forward, and he snapped out of his own little world.
A servant of the Kuchiki household stood before him, and with caution placed a note on his table. He watched the servant carefully walk across to the doors, and silently slide them shut as they went on their way.
He glanced at the letter, rubbing his finger on the paper. It was thin, and probably cheap.
But he ignored that, and read the letter, his back straight and his regal air gently returning as his mind drifted from his deceased wife.
It read:
The 6th Squad is needed at Rukongai. NOW.
He sighed, stood up, and went on his way, ignoring the servants who greeted him a good morning. This was certainly not a good morning, seeing as he was the only one who seemed to remember that today was the day of her death anniversary.
Hisana…
He shook his head slowly, letting her name and his memories of her drift to the back of his mind for the moment.
He was needed somewhere, and by whom he didn't know, though if this was a trick, he wouldn't mind them running off when he approached; he was not going to kill or hurt people not deserving of the slash of his Zanpakuto at their throats.
His steps sounded with soft clacks on the tile floors, and then softer muffled steps when he stepped onto grass. The birds sang a lovely melody, the sun shone bright, and the Sakura trees glowed with pink flowers.
But a raging storm of sadness welled in him. He continued his descent, meeting with his squad at the gates of the House.
He then led the way to Rukongai, ignoring his feelings. Unknowingly, the one person he might have never met would be there at the scene, and the one who would be labeled as the second lover of the Head of the Kuchiki Household. But that will come later.
