Captain Byakuya Kuchiki of squad six is about to pay his sister, Rukia, and her (most Despised) boyfriend, Ichigo Kurosaki, a visit for a few weeks. He isn't due to arrive there for a few more hours, so he has decided to pay his respects to a grave.
When he arrives arrives there, he immediately finds the stone slab that says 'Here is the death place of Shina Miyasu, of the Noble Miyasu house hold. She will be remembered in the hearts of many, for she was a soul who could never be forgotten.' Byakuya hasn't been to her grave in years, not since it was placed there.
He felt too guilty to come, for he blames himself for her death. On the day of her mission he had had a bad feeling, that something bad was going to happen. But, he was quite confident in her abilities as a Soul Reaper, so he just shrugged it off. But he regrets it to this day. If he had listened to his instinct, his childhood friend would still be alive.
Shina.. His first true friend. She understood him the most, and she was always at his side, ever since their childhood. She also knew what its like to have the pressure of having to live up to a noble clans' expectations, She was one too. She was the perfect noble, to most. She was calm, collective, and mellow. But she had a wild side too, she used to sneak out all the time to train and visit the rukon distrists. But she never did get caught. He admired that.
When she wasn't being a princess or training, she was usually with Byakuya. And they were generally never bothered by their suitors when together, so a majority of their free time was spent together. She was even with him durring his academy days and his 'Training' with Yoruichi. They had developed an inseperable bond over the years. And when her parents decided to marry her off, she didn't want to be married, so without her families consent, she entered the Soul-Reaper academy. She was highly skilled, but not very good under pressure, and acceled at everything. She graduated after three years, And was placed in squad seven. And being as they were in squads so close, they were, once again, inseperable. For several more years, they continued to grow closer.
And one day when she turned down a rather rude suitor, he had finally realized, that after all these years, he had fallen in love with her. His best friend. He loved everything about her. From her long Ash-Blonde hair and Emerald Green eyes, to her spirited and out going personality. But his pride would never allow to admit it to her. And he knew that because they were from two of the most powerful noble clans in the entire soul-society, they could never be together. It was a lost cause, so he distanced himself from her. He didnt want her to know how he felt about her, because he didn't want his heart to be broken even more from her rejection. And he didnt know, but he broke hers as well. But on the day of her first mission to the World Of The Living, he went to see her off. And asked only one thing of her before she departed through the Senkaimon. And that was 'Please return safely.' She promised to return, and she never broke promises. Until then, that is.
It was later announced that an Adhujas hollow had appeared and killed six of the seven Soul Reapers that went. Including Shina. He was devistated. The one and only person who. he truly ever loved, was dead. her brother, was in critical condition when he returned, had confirmed it when he had healed.
