Thanks for the reviews!! I'm so glad that my grammar has improved (as told by Hoiki)!! I hope you all like the next chapter! You get to find out "the deep, dark secret" that Kaien told Hisana about. Please keep reviewing!! I'm gonna put up another story soon. I hope you read that too!
-xXxSukiKiraixXx
Part one: The secret?
"Wow!!" Hisana exclaimed," it's beautiful!"
Kaien was looking at the garden with a proud look, as if he worked on the garden himself, and said, "Pretty cool, right?" Hisana nodded like a little, overexcited kid.
"Where are we?"
"This is squad 13's sanctuary. It's where Ukitake-Taichou likes to relax," Kaien replied. Hisana stared at its beauty. There was a pond, it was pure blue, unlike the polluted waters of Rukongai, and there were flowers along the edge to the pond, while lilies floated on the surface. She walked up to the edge of the pond. When she looked down, she could see her reflection. Hisana eyes squinted, and she looked closer at her reflection. There was something floating in the background. Hisana turned around; it was a black butterfly! She stared at the beauty of the black butterfly that was fluttering around. She held out her hand, and then it landed on her hand.
Kaien screamed," WAIT! DON'T TOUCH IT!!"
"Why not?"
"It's poisonous!" Hisana screamed, twirled around, lost her balance, and then fell into the pond. Kaien ran over and helped her out.
"I'm sorry," he said," I was only joking." Hisana shivered. Although the air was warm, the water wasn't.
Part Three: You definitely owe me an explanation to this little joke, but I'm not gonna say anything for the sake of being polite!!
Kaien disappeared (literally), and then reappeared with a towel. Hisana wrapped it around herself.
"I'm REALLY sorry!" he said, while laughing slightly (How polite!).
"It's okay, REALLY!" she replied, despite the fact that she wasn't (just to let you know she had a wedgie!) When they got inside, Hisana sat down on a pillow at the small tea table. Kaien put some water to boil for tea. "So, what was that butterfly?"
"Oh that!" He said," that was a hell butterfly. The squads use them for communication and for creating a safe passage to the real world." Kaien placed the tea in front of her as he a took a seat across from her. Hisana nodded to his explanation and took a sip of her tea.
Ukitake and Byakuya walked out together after the Captain's Meeting. Byakuya was straight-faced and aloof (as usual), while Ukitake seemed to be in a good mood.
"A rather boring Captain's Meeting, right Byakuya?" Ukitake asked. Byakuya just nodded in agreement. The rest of the walk remained silent, with the exception of people saying "hello" and "Congratulations" to Byakuya.
When they arrived at squad 13's headquarters, Byakuya opened the door. Surprisingly, he found Hisana, drenched in water, sitting on the floor talking to Kaien.
"What happened?" He asked Hisana (aw! he's worried).
Before Hisana could answer Ukitake spoke,"Kaien, I thought I told you to take care of out guest."
"B-b-but, um, SORRY TAICHOU!" He said.
"I'm fine, really!" Hisana said trying to help Kaien. She positioned herself to get up and noticed that she wasn't as wet as before. While getting up, she tripped over her own two feet. Luckily, Byakuya caught her by the elbow, and helped her up.
Byakuya looked at her and sighed," you really can't find flat, stable ground to walk on without finding something to trip over." Hisana looked down in embarrassment as Kaien laughed at Byakuya's joke.
"Now, now, give the girl a break, Byakuya-Taichou," Kaien added. Byakuya scowled; he was never found of Kaien.
"Um... I should be getting back now," Hisana interrupted. She bowed in respect, turned, and walked off. She barely made it down the steps of the headquarters when Byakuya caught up with her.
"It's getting late." He said," I'll walk you home."
"N-N-No! This is too much! I 'm fine!" Hisana exclaimed.
"It's dangerous for a girl to walk around, by herself at night." Hisana blushed.
She eventually gave in. " Okay..," she said quietly. She did want a little company, because she had no idea about how to get out.
Ukitake and Kaien were sitting down drinking green tea.
"Interesting couple, do you think anything is going on between them?" Kaien asked.
"Now, Kaien, prying is a nasty habit," Ukitake explained as he put down the cup of tea.
"It is (to be said sarcastically)," he replied. "Cause I do it ALL the time!" Ukitake just laughed.
"Well, you shouldn't, Kaien."
"Maybe they're talking about something dirty!!"
"KAIEN!!"
"Relax, I was just kidding!" He said. "But I really do think he might like her."
"You know, Kaien, I think you're right." The conversation ended there, and they both just drank their tea (at least until Rangiku came in with sake for Kaien).
Sorry about the boring ending; I wanted to save the walk for the next chapter! I'll post it soon, once (I'm done with my homework). :
