Chapter 3

Finding Nisama

Rukia left Renji and Rangiku and headed to the Kuchiki's mansion as soon as possible to get ready and prepared well. She reached the mansion and thankfully found her personal maid Hana standing near the gate, who raised Rukia when she was adopted to the Kuchiki clan at the age of 20 and since that day she helped her in every problem crossed her road, was there to comfort her when life was getting hard, Hana was there to take care of Rukia, the girl whom she sees like the daughter she never had.

Hana was walking as always in the garden as she felt Rukia's resistu and went to the gate in order to meet her and get her prepared.

"Hello milady, how was your first day?" Hana asked while smiling as Rukia hugged her maid.

"It was fine Hana, is nisama home?" Rukia asked in worried tone afraid to be late.

"No milady, lord Kuchiki went to his wife's grave." Hana replied as Rukias' eyes went wide.

"Oh my god, he went without me, was I that much late?" shocked Rukia asked.

"No milady you're not late but I believe he preferred to go alone." Hana said.

"Well than I shall go but before that I really want a hot bath." Rukia told Hana as they both headed to Rukia's chamber.

In the dining room

"Keiji, Rukia come back, didn't her?" Ginrei asked his loyal servant.

"Yes, she is going to go to Hisana's grave." Keiji replied while preparing the lunch.

"Strange she always used to go with Byakuya." Ginrei told Keiji who also was confused.

"Yes that is definitely strange, I mean she wasn't late but maybe he preferred to go alone." Keiji replied to Ginrei who started to eat.

"I don't know Keiji, something is going on with Byakuya, it's either the elders are pushing him too much or something is happening to my grandchild and either ways I will find out sooner or later." Ginrei stated as he was thinking about his grandchild who have suddenly changed with no reason.

Rukia's chamber

"So I hope you find the bath comfortable my child." Hana told Rukia as she was washing her back and doing some message that always somehow comforted Rukia.

"Yeah….. Ah…..this feels so good." Rukia stated as she sank deeper to feel the warmth of the well smelled water that they bring from the mountain near the jasmine field.

"Well that's good then, I believe this is enough for now, I should get you prepared to visit your sister's grave." Hana told Rukia as she was bringing the towel while Rukia was enjoying the last minutes in the bath.

"Now get out of that bath Rukia." Hana told Rukia as she approached the bath.

"Can't I stay more Hana, this is so relaxing." Rukia asked Hana as she was getting out of the bath while Hana covered her immediately in order not to catch cold.

"When you come back you can have as many as such warm baths later but not now." Hana told Rukia, "So let's dry this hair of yours and bring some respectable kimono for you to wear."

"Come on, I'll wear one of my shinigami robes." Rukia told Hana as she combed her now dry hair thanks to the living world invention the hair drier which Orihime bought for Rukia four month ago.

"The thing you used to dry your hair, what is it called." Hana asked Rukia about this great invention which has done the job of half an hour work in 10 minutes.

"It's called a hair drier Hana, It's awesome I know. Orihime bought it for me in the real world when one day I bathed in the early morning in order for my hair to get dry later and then caught some cold." Rukia told Hana who listening to Rukia and admiring the great device she is holding.

"You know what, if only nisama agrees I'd have opened a company to sell all the real world devices which helps to make life easier but for sure he won't agree." Rukia told Hana while thinking about her idea.

"That's a great idea but as you said lord Kuchiki won't allow it, well then my beautiful lady you only need to wear your kimono and you'll be ready to go to your sister's grave." Hana told Rukia who frowned of mentioning the kimono thing.

The Kuchiki's Graveyard ( yap they have there own graveyard, that's real cool even if it's little creepy but i like the idea ^_*)

"Hisana I really missed you a lot." Byakuya spoke as he put the floors in front of Hisana's gravestone

"I don't know what to do, the elders asked me of something I don't even bring myself to mention." Byakuya stated as he sat in front of his wife's grave, "Hisana this time I can't refuse marrying otherwise the Kuchiki state will go to my useless cousin Souko, and you know I don't care about the state but I can't do this to my grandfather, he won't be able to take it. What should I do, please tell me Hisana?" Byakuya asked his death wife while tears were flowing down his cheeks.

"So you look good malady." Hana told Rukia while smirking.

"I can see your smirk Hana, I hate kimonos, and they look nice but hard to move while wearing them." Rukia told Hana while frowning.

"Don't make a great deal, it's even black not colorful." Hana stated

"That's why I accepted to wear it in the first place." Rukia told Hana who was holding her laughter.

"You can laugh as much as you want after I get out of this whole state." Rukia told Hana was an angry voice and took her leave to her sister's shrine with the servants.

"Hisana I really wish if you were here, because life is just getting harder" Byakuya stated as he felt a familiar resistu approach and he used his shunpo to hide.

"Milady do you want as to come with you or should we wait here?" Her guards which she didn't need any of them asked her while standing in the gate of the Kuchiki family graveyard

"You wait here, I'll go alone." Rukia told them entered the family personal graveyard

She walked to hear sister gravestone and bent down in her knees as she put the flowers.

"Hi oneesan, I don't know what to say because I sadly don't remember you." Rukia spoke as Byakuya could listen to every word while masking his resistu.

"Oneesan how are you doing up there, I hope you're doing fine and living happily, you know I wish I knew you we could had a nice sisters relation and maybe I'd have known more about nisama, he is always bringing everything I need and I truly appreciate that but we never had that much conversation except hi, good morning, good night, I'll go to work now, wish you a nice day, we always had such conversations but I want normal ones like what I have with grandpa, Ichigo, Renji and everyone else." Rukia was speaking as Byakuya was sad of not spending some time with Rukia, he always was there if she needed any financial aid or got injured but other than that, he never was there for her then he stopped thinking when Rukia started to talk again.

"You know you may probably laugh when I say this" Rukia said as she laughed "I've always been jealous of you because you had nisama's love." What Rukia said was shocking truth to Byakuya.

"I've always wanted his love not like a sister but like the woman I am now, I want to feel his warmth around me, I want him to comfort me when I'm sad or breaking down, want him to hug me tightly and tell me everything is going to be fine, want him to be proud of me the same way I'm proud of him, want him to love unconditionally as the way I love him, the way man loves a woman." Rukia said while Byakuya had a hard time to hide his resistu because what he heard right now shock some feelings inside him, he never knew they were still exciting, he couldn't wait to hear anymore, just couldn't so he used his shunpo to get back to the mansion.

"Well then oneesan I must go now and one day for sure we will meet." Rukia said as she bowed to her sister grave and went back home with the guards without knowing that her life for sure is going to change.

Earlier that morning

"So Renji, did you confess your love to Kuchiki? Matsumoto asked Renji while drinking her sake in the tenth squad.

"I've let go that idea because I already think she loves someone else." Renji replied while swallowing his sake along with Rangiku

"Really, well then who do you think is it?" Rangiku asked as she opened the next bottle and started drinking the whole bottle alone.

"I don't know but I just wish she would be happy." Renji told Rangiku who was literally drank.

"Oh Renji, you're such a good friend, why do you look so sexy?" Rangiku asked Renji as she approached him while holding her sake in her hand then bent down to kiss him but he stopped her.

"What are you doing!" Renji shouted to drank, laughing Rangiku.

"I've already told you, you look so hot right now and I want to taste you." Rangiku said to Renji as she was drinking her sake and smiling to him happily.

"You are so drank, if Hitsugaya taichou saw you, he would kill you." Renji told Rangiku who was laughing happily while drinking.

"My little Toshiro won't do that." Rangiku told Renji who wanted to speak but was cut off by the sound of…..

"Matsumoto! You useless fukutaichou." Hitsugaya taichou shouted at drank Rangiku as he went to his table and took out Rangiku's hidden bottles of sake that he found earlier yesterday. Toshiro looked at Rangiku and smiled a sinister smile.

"Taichou what are you going to do with my sake?" Rangiku asked in a worried tone.

"Well, well I'll just throw them out of the window." Toshiro told Rangiku as he headed to the window and pushed the curtain aside.

"You aren't going to do that taichou, you're just kidding right?" Rangiku asked as she approached her taichou.

"Stop Matsumoto don't come any further." Toshiro warned Rangiku while Renji was sitting and watching and waiting to see what's next, well Hitsugaya taichou throw all of the five bottles or not.

"I've already warned you million times Matsumoto not to drink during the working hours but you won't listen and now it's the time to give a small lesson to make you listen to my orders another time." Toshiro told Rangiku as he throw each bottle out of the window, while Rangiku got crazy to see her little babies gone in front of her own two bugling eyes.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" Rangiku screamed as she went to the window to see the bottles have been broken into pieces by her taichou.

"So from now on, you should never drink during the day." Toshiro told Rangiku as passing shocked and well very amazed fukutaichou Abarai, then something unexpected happened, Rangiku used her shunpo and buried her taichou between her huge breasts, which made Renji to laugh hard.

"Matsumoto!... LET GO OF MEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Toshiro screamed as he was suffocated by his fukutaichou big famous breasts.

"I will let go when I say so." Rangiku told her taichou as Renji was now laughing hard and loud, which brought all of the tenth squad members to enter their taichou's working places and laugh along with Renji.

In Kuchiki's manor

Rukia came back home after visiting her sister's grave and went to her chamber immediately in order to take out the black kimono, that restrained her movements.

She opened the door and found Hana preparing a hot bath for the second time this day.

"Thank you Hana, because I really need this hot bath." Rukia told Hana as she quickly removed the kimono and everything else and sat in the bath.

"I've told you you'll have another bath later." Hana told Rukia as she started to message Rukia's neck.

"Thank you again; by the way, did nisama come back?" Rukia asked Hana who nodded….

"Yes my child, he come back home, took a bath and went to his library and didn't get out of it tell now, but what you did you come home late, it's nearly evening now?" Hana asked Rukia

"Nothing just wanted to smell some air and forgot about the time until one of the guards told me it's getting late." Rukia answered Hana, while thinking about going to her nisama tonight.

"Well then your grandfather already had his dinner, it's only you and lord Kuchiki who didn't it but I believe he won't be coming out of his library soon, so let's get you washed therefore you can have your dinner." Hana told Rukia

"I'm not in the mood for having a dinner, let's just get finished because I need to meet nisama." Rukia said while looking up the ceiling.

Rukia wore one of her home robes and dried her hair and headed to the library to meet her brother for the first time after six month.

She was heading to the second place which is not allowed for her to go to unless her brother called her to come to, as she got closer, she got more nervous and felt that at any second her heart beat will stop but she must go and meet him.

Byakuya was in his inner world talking with Senbonzakura when he sensed Rukia's resistu

"Why is she getting near my library?" confused Byakuya asked his zanpakuto

"Maybe to say hi to her nisama, who didn't even bother to ask about his little oneesan?" Senbonzakura said in a mocking tone.

"Well, no need for her to come here, she never did that." Byakuya told his zanpakuto

"You're kidding right honey, she was away for nearly half a year and you're saying no need for her to come, ok no offence but you're out of your mind and I believe I know why, it's because of what we heard in Hisana's grave right?" Senbonzakura asked while feeling sad for her master.

"I don't care what she said and stop giving me your sympathy look, she is near I'll go now." Byakuya told his zanpakuto and left his inner world, " Be gentle on her Byakuya I'm warning you." Senbonzakura told Byakuya while smiling to his reaction.

Rukia was already outside of the library trying her best to calm down.

"Ok, I'm already here now, so relax everything will be fine." She was so nervous to knock the door and got more nervous and closed her eyes when she heard…..

"Get in Rukia." From inside the library, Byakuya knew she was there and felt her unstable resistu, he felt deep inside that something is going to change forever.

Rukia felt that too, only this huge, dark, beautiful decorated door is separating her from meeting Byakuya, separating her from saying what is on her mind, something that she felt guilty of not saying all of these years she lived in the Kuchiki manor, felt guilty and frightened to even look at her nisama's eyes. Now it's the time to make this man who adopted her to move on in his life, it was the time in which she didn't know what turn both their lives upside down.

"I don't like to repeat myself, get in Rukia." Byakuya spoke loudly but in a cold tune behind the door that is separating to lives that was meant to be together a long time ago, Rukia breathed in and out, opened her violent eyes, with determination and confidence she possessed she opened the library door.

"Hello nisama."
