At the sixth squad
"Renji, did you finish the papers so I can sign them."
"Yeah taichou I'll bring them now" Renji told his taicho, who let's say wasn't in a good mood at all.
Renji brought the papers to Byakuya's office, "Taichou"
"Yes, fukutaichou Abarai."
"Rukia came back from the real world"
"So, what does it have to do with our work?" Byakuya asked Renji while signing the papers to send it to the other squad.
"It does nothing with our work, just wanted to tell you." Renji replied while feeling the weather is definitely hot that are radiating from Byakuya's resistu.
"I finished those papers take it to the tenth squad." Byakuya told Renji as he got up and was walking out through the door when Renji asked,
"Taicho are you going home?" Renji asked because it was still in the middle of the day.
"Yes, take the day off too when you submit those papers." Byakuya replied as he used his shunpo to disappear within the cold air that rushed to the sixth squad.
"Well, good night taicho" Renji felt something was going on but he didn't know about, "I'll submit those papers and go drink with Ikkaku and the others." He took the papers and headed to the tenth squad.
At the Kuchiki's Manor
"Milord, you came home earlier today, do you want me to set the lunch or take your bath first?" Keiji asked Byakuya, who is servant for the Kuchiki's for centuries, he raised Byakuya and knew everything about him, everything about his emotions but since Hisana's death he kept and hid his emotions and feelings from Keiji but this is the first time after twenty four years he could see Byakuya's great pain and need of resting alone.
"I won't eat, I'll go to my room and shall no one disturb me" Byakuya replied is he headed to his chamber in the last corridor of the mansion in the second floor near his study library.
"Hai, milord." Keiji looked at Byakuya he was going to his chamber again like the past 3 month
Byakuya entered his room, closed the door and started to take off his captain haori and his shinigami robes, then removed his kenseikan one by one then laid in the hot, comfortable, bubbled bath as tears were flooding down his cheeks silently and knew the gate of pain that was once closed is reopened again.
Earlier that day in the morning
"Good morning milord, breakfast is ready" Keiji informed Byakuya
"I won't eat; I've some work to do." Byakuya replied to Keiji
"But milord you didn't have your breakfast or lunch for the best 2 weeks, that's not good for your health." Keiji said to Byakuya is he bowed
"Keiji is right, come my son I want to talk to you." Ginrei requested to Byakuya to follow him to the dining room.
"Yes grandfather, how can I help you?" Byakuya asked while knowing that his grandfather want to know what's wrong with him and the problem is that he doesn't know what's going on with him.
"Byakuya you always used to talk to me, what changed now?" Ginrei asked with concerned tone to his grandchild.
"Nothing is wrong, I just have the work to do and a lot of papers to sign and submit." Byakuya answered
"Are you sure my child." Ginrei asked to make sure everything is alright.
"Yes grandfather, you just have your breakfast and take care of your health, don't worry about everything else, so I'll take my leave now." Byakuya bowed to his grandfather as he headed to go out of the dining room.
"Well breakfast alone again, I really missed Rukia sitting around and telling me jokes." Ginrei mentioned Rukia's name as he knew Byakuya will definitely hear him
"She'll come as soon as she finishes her mission in the real world, have a nice day." Byakuya replied without looking back to his grandfather.
"You too Byakuya, you too my son." Ginrei whispered to himself as he started eating his breakfast
Afternoon
"Grandfather!" Rukia shouted with delight to see Ginrei after long 6 month in the real world and hugged him.
"Oh, Rukia my child I missed you too." Ginrei replied while laughing
"Me too grandfather, how are you doing?" Rukia asked Ginrei
"I am good; you have lost some weight Rukia, haven't you?" Ginrei asked Rukia while making sure she is good.
"Hahahahahaha, you're so funny grandfather, you're the one who lost weight, and I believe he wasn't eating, am I right Keiji?" Rukia asked Keiji and smiled to their humble servant.
"Yes milady, neither he nor Lord Byakuya took a good care of themselves." Keiji answered while looking with a grin in Ginrei
"Keiji, you make a big deal of anything." Ginrei answered while laughing to his old friend and servant.
"Well grandfather you'll gain a lot of weight now that I've come back home." Rukia told Ginrei while giggling
"I am sure of that Rukia, so how was your first and last longest mission ever which I hope." Ginrei asked Rukia as she took her sit near Ginrei in the garden.
"It was good, finished everything and it'll be my last longest mission for sure." Rukia replied while taking a small sip of her tea.
"Well I believe you had fun there because you seem so happy, or is it me that making you to smile that much?" Ginrei asked Rukia jokingly
"Hahaha grandfather I won't lie to you, actually I've finished my mission in four month but Ichigo and the others asked me to stay longer." Rukia said as she started eating some of the cookies because she was starving.
"You had fun without me, how could you Rukia?" Ginrei asked Rukia as trying to show her he was sad.
"C'mon grandfather, Nisama must have kept you accompany." Rukia said while hovering over the cookies
"Byakuya wasn't himself lately." Ginrei told Rukia as he started to drink his tea.
"What do you mean?" Rukia asked Ginrei with a concerning tone.
"He neither had his breakfast nor lunch for the couple two months and he didn't even drink tea with me like before." Ginrei replied to Rukia
"Strange, even Renji told me that." Rukia stated while thinking about her Nisama.
"I believe it's because Hisana's Memorial Day is approaching." Keiji mentioned his thoughts
"It's not approaching Keiji, its tomorrow." Ginrei said while sipping his tea
"Oh my god and I forgot about it!" Rukia yelled for her stupidity, how she could forget such day.
"Well, he'll come home later, be home so that we have dinner together." Ginrei ordered Rukia
"Ok grandfather but for now I'm so starving that I must have lunch right now." Rukia stated as her tummy was growling loudly which made both Ginrei and Keiji to laugh hard.
"Ok, I'll tell the servants to prepare the table for you both." Keiji said to Rukia and Ginrei while laughing as he heard Rukia's tummy growling loudly while she eats more cookies to stop it.
The next day
"Keiji where are Byakuya and Rukia." Ginrei asked Keiji as he entered the dining room.
"Well, my young lord I went to his chamber to wake him up but he wasn't there and as for the little lady she apologized for not having breakfast with you because she needs to go to her squad to submit her reports about the her mission." Keiji answered as he prepared the breakfast which composed of boiled egg, toasted whole bread and some fruits and green tea.
"No problem at least one of my children is living its life, the present not the past like the other." Ginrei told Keiji as he started to eat his breakfast while thinking about his dead wife, "I missed you so much Kohana" Ginrei whispered silently as he remembered his dead wife and his only love.
