Chapter 4
Rukia was only a few metres away from the office. She felt someone following her, but let it slip by. 'It's probably one of those guys' she thought. She always had guys following her around. But she also had Renji around too. Not anymore. She frowned at the thought of both her friends leaving just this morning. Shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts, she thought back to the night her sister had found her.
"I'm Hisana, and this is Kuchiki Byakuya-sama," said she. Everyone could see she was nervous, even if her voice did not portray it. She took in a deep breath in before she spoke her next few words. "I –abandoned my sister two years ago, and I started to look for her a year ago." Whispered Hisana with her head hung.
The room was completely quiet when she had whispered this, so it was clearly heard by everyone in the room.
She continued. "Byakuya-sama and I have been looking all around town, but had no such luck. When we heard someone had found a little girl, we immediately rushed here to see if it was her-"she stopped by an interrupting Ichigo.
"But how would you know if it was her or not?" Ichigo shouted angrily."You abandoned her on the streets! Left her there for anyone to take her, let the frost freeze her, let-"
"ENOUGH!" yelled an irritated Byakuya. It had the desired effect. Ichigo became quiet. "She knows what she has done wrong. She knows her own faults, and she is trying to fix it now. Can't you see that?"
Ichigo thought about this for a moment.
"Ichigo dear," said Masaki as her voice rang through the silence. "If you look at Hisana-san and Rukia-chan here, you can clearly see that they look very alike, thus making sense that they would be related."
Rukia looked confused. What were they talking about? She didn't have a sister, let alone a family.
Rukia, of course, would not have seen the resemblance between Hisana and her, for she has never seen her own reflection before. Ichigo however could, and really couldn't deny that they looked VERY alike indeed. He just didn't want to see his new friend go so quickly.
"I'm sorry to say this but, I don't have a sister" said Rukia with a distinct sadness in her voice. "I also don't have a brother, or a mum, or a dad."
"That's where you're wrong." Said Hisana softly has she stood out from behind Byakuya and stepped a little closer to the two on the bed. Ichigo still had his suspicious stare glued onto his face and Rukia looked slightly frightened. Hisana looked around the room and saw a mirror in the bathroom connected to the patient's room. Hisana offered a hand to Rukia, and waited for her to take it.
Rukia was hesitant at first, but reached out her own hand to accept it. She slid past Ichigo, who was staring at her with a worried look, and the two girls made their way over to the bathroom.
The mirror was quite big. It would've been able to fit a family of six, which was exactly how many people were in the room at the moment.
As soon as Rukia saw her reflection she gasped. She saw her pale face, her giant dark blue eyes, her ever so skinny and short frame, her black-raven hair and the rouge strand of hair that fell across her face. She then looked at Hisana's reflection and gasped again.
Ichigo could tell that she knew he was following her. Yet she didn't respond to it. He thought that it was odd. Most girls would've turned around and started shouting or screaming because they thought they were being followed by a stalker, but this girl just seem to ignore his presence-and even his existence. 'Why does she look so familiar?' he thought to himself, even though he could only see the back of her head. Something about her makes her seemed familiar. It was probably her scent-the smell of winter.
They did indeed look a like. They both had the same skinny and short frame, the same black-raven hair, even the same rouge strand that fell across their faces. The only thing different was their eyes. One was dark blue, the other was violet. One reflected cold stormy nights and starvation, while the other one reflected painful memories and regrets.
Hisana smiled, and Rukia returned it
"Well, now that we got that sorted out," spoke Isshin, "Let's have dinner! I'm sure everyone is hungry; especially Rukia-chan who has just woken up." And just as he had said that, Rukia's stomach started to grumble a long loud growl. Ichigo was the first to laugh, followed by Masaki and Isshin, along with a giggling Hisana. A small smile appeared on Byakuya's face. Rukia just looked down out of embarrassment.
That was how they had met. That was how they knew each other. All because one little boy had found one little girl.
But the two aren't little anymore. Both had grown up to become talented fighters.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in," said Yamamoto.
Rukia stepped in, a bit surprised by her brother's presence, but never showed it. She bowed and greeted them.
"Oh, my Rukia-chan!!" squealed a hyper-active Isshin. Rukia looked blankly at him. "You have certainly grown into a young, fine, beautiful lady, since the last time that I saw you!! Maybe you and my son could-" but he stopped as an infuriated Ichigo burst through the room.
"DAD!!!"
