A/N: Okay, you can consider the previous chapter to be something of an epilogue. And seeing as I've already covered how Byakuya and Hisana met in a previous oneshot (Not Really Lost, if anyone's curious), I'll do my best to put a different spin on it here so I don't bore anyone.

Getting lost in Rukongai is the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to Byakuya. Asking the group of women congregated on the porch of a store for directions is even more mortifying.

The girl who breaks away from the group is tiny and has the air of poor health about her. She offers to guide him back to Seireitei and Byakuya can't help but think that she looks so sickly that she probably wouldn't survive the trip.

But when she smiles, her eyes are the most beautiful he's seen, and he agrees before he can think.

Her name is Hisana.
