Okay! Lets get this show on the road! I would like to thank all my wonderful readers for reviewing and for reading! I'm not sure when the next time I will be able to update will be, but I will try to as soon as I can.
sleep was peaceful for Hisako that night. She was curled up in the arms of her beloved Byakuya whom was also somewhat happy that he had her again.
Winter was fast approaching again. And the last remnants of the lovely sakura trees were once again all fallen upon the moistened ground, leaving them barren and dead-looking. The only thing that remained of the summer was the muggy warmth it emitted.
The sun was just rising and Byakuya was up early as always. Hisako was oblivious that he had already gotten ready for work. He lifted her arms from around him and carefully got out from the futon.
He slipped on his top and haori along with his wind flower scarf and kenseikan. With that Byakuya slid back the shoji screen and quietly walked into the hallway.
Byakuya had decided earlier that he would walk Hisako back home before he went to his office to do paperwork and tend to other duties. The truth was that he didn't trust hardly any other person to get her home safely. And if Rukia weren't about to leave for the world of the living he might have had her take Hisako home if he wasn't able to do so himself.
It was about nine when Hisako finally awoke. She was a little dejected when she realized that she would have to go home today. 'the dream has ended.' she thought as she dressed for the new day.
She slightly ached from her many scratches and scrapes from yesterday's near kidnapping. As Hisako ventured out into the hallway she found herself nearly being tackled my Renji. "Why the hell didn't you visit?" she heard him yell.
As she pushed Renji from atop her, she said, "I wasn't really allowed to." Renji pulled her into a suffocating embrace which nearly turned Hisako blue. "Renji, you're hurting me." She squeezed out from her oxygen deprived lungs.
She heard Renji chuckle and then felt his grip loosen. "Thanks, now I can actually breathe. Were you trying to kill me or something?" Hisako teased. "No, not really." The two laughed.
Hisako hadn't seen Renji in a long time, they had been really good friends for a while. But since that day in the garden she had been trying to avoid them, and the awkwardness that would occur if by chance they found out, and then Byakuya would find out…
That would surely be the worst day of all three's lives. He would make life hell for Renji and forbid Rukia to see him. Hisako knew that, therefore she didn't know what she should do: tell Byakuya, betray her only friends. Not tell Byakuya, betray him, but her friends would be free to have their secret romance.
But since Hisako had moved she had other things on her mind and set that nagging problem aside for another day. But even if she had forgotten this problem, one thing was engraved in her mind: how would Byakuya react if he found out that Hisako knew, but never told him?
Hisako departed with Byakuya, to go home. It wasn't a terribly long trip, but to Hisako it seemed too long. Each second ticked by slowly. Each moment built an uneasy fear within Hisako. It knotted in her stomach, making her feel as though she would throw up what little she ate this morning.
The two finally strolled up the stone pathway to Hisako's home. Her Elders were standing in to front waiting for her return. 'I'm in trouble…' Hisako thought as they stopped before the Eldest Shihouin family members.
"it was very kind of you to take me home, thank you," Hisako said, turning to Byakuya, "sayonara." She gave one last fleeting glance at him before she left back into the house she refused to call her home.
Hisako was feeling that she had nobody there that she could talk to. When she lived back at the Kuchiki manor there weren't as many people there. Most of the time it was just Byakuya, Rukia and her.
The elders didn't say a word to her. So, feeling that she had shamed her family she left outside to the garden. "hey!" a familiar voice called to her. "Yoruichi!" Hisako smiled. Yoruichi was possibly the nicest one in her family.
"what's up?" Yoruichi asked. "just shamed the family, nothing out of the usual." Hisako sighed. "I heard. You were with the Kuchiki's?" Yoruichi asked. Hisako frowned and sighed. "I don't want to be married into some random family I don't even know." Hisako sighed.
"I see what the problem is!" Yoruichi said. "you have fallen for Byakuya Boy!" she smiled, knowingly. "what do I do?" Hisako buried her face in her hands.
"aw, don't worry. I'm sure we can resolve this." Yoruichi hugged her cousin. "I hope your right, because I don't know what I'd do if I was forced to spend the rest of my life with someone else." Hisako sighed as she plucked a wilting flower from the garden.
"but you have to think, our family has tried, unsuccessfully to tie the Kuchiki family to our family. AND Byakuya isn't married. It has a pretty big chance of happening." Yoruichi said as she left. 'I hope she's right.' Hisako thought as she gazed at the now setting sun.
