Thanksgiving break!.*SPOILER ALERT FROM DA MANGA GTFO IF YOU DON'T READ IT* OMG At todays chapter! I wonder what did that zero squad guy meant by saying Unohana wasn't going to heal anymore. Hmmm is it me or does that chick that has the skeleton arms look like Nemu? If you're going wtf at the chapter tittles it's because I don't know what to name them and I don't want to leave it plain.

Light streamed from a window that almost took up the whole wall. It had curtains so the light passed through in a soft beige color. The high altitude of the house made the cold morning air worse, making Rukia shiver in her sleep. In her semi-conscious state Rukia felt strong arms wrapping around her and bringing her closer to warmth. She nuzzled against whatever it was which produced a musky scent. Her eyelids grew heavy again and she was thrown into the sea of sleep, it's waves pulling her deeper until she drifted off.

Rukia opened her eyes after what had seemed a few minutes. She started to move but arms kept her in place and that's when she noticed she was staring at her futon. That meant she was in Byakuya Kuchiki's arms.

She froze and felt heat creeping up her face. She could either move and wake him, or fake sleep until he woke and pushed her away. She was still for minutes debating on what to do until she decided she would fake it and stay in his embrace. As Rukia lay there she noticed a scent emanating from the man next to her. It had an air of cherry blossoms to it which made her want to stay even more. Her train of thought crashed when Byakuya started to stir.

"Don't go Hisana" He whispered in her ear

A wave of sadness crashed and almost drowned Rukia. He was most likely dreaming about her and judging by his tone of voice it was not a happy dream. The woman mentally kicked herself at the thought. Of course he was going to dream about her, even Rukia herself had some dreams with her sister in it the aftermath of her death. Byakuya's arm uncoiled from her body and he turned opposite from her. Rukia took the opportunity to flee from his futon and run out of the room itself.

Her breaths turned into miniature clouds as she walked around the garden she had visited yesterday. She found a comfortable spot under a cherry blossom tree who's blossoms had a purple-like tint to it. Rukia regretted the decision when her bottom started to freeze upon sitting on the dew drenched grass. Not only that but her wound started to ache from the cold which made sitting uncomfortable.

At least it's better than being cooped up inside all day.

"Hello Kuchiki-san"

Unohana suddenly appeared in front of Rukia which spooked her a little. The doctor's hair was in a single braid down her back and it was a different sight compared to the odd braid that covered the front of her body. She wore a simple blue dress with a black coat over to ward off the mountain air.

"Hello Unohana-sensei'' Rukia replied politely

"May I join you"? Unohana requested with her trademark perpetual smile

"Of course"!

Rukia wasn't refusing but if she did the violet-eyed woman sensed something that was definitely not good could take place. Unohana just seemed like the type of person that was all simles on the outside but held a dark interior that would be better off unseen.

The medic gracefully knelt and sat down next to the petite woman.

"The cold weather makes that incision hurt doesn't it? I suggest covering up more in the area" She said as she analyzed Rukia's outfit that consisted of a heavy, loose, green dress and nothing more.

"Thank you for the advice" The girl nodded her head which made her hair escape the scrunchie that held it in place. Unohana smiled in return.

After some moments of silence Unohana finally broke the ice.

"You love him don't you"?

Of course she knew, the woman was like a seer that knew everybody's story maybe even at a glance.

Rukia just nodded in defeat.

"Anyone could see the doe eyes you make at Kuchiki-sama" Unohana continued

"I don't know what I could do about it, he is still hung up on Hisana's loss"

Rukia almost screamed at how stupid and insensitive she had made the comment sound.

"Give him time to heal, a loved one's death, your wife's nonetheless weighs down the heart heavily. Besides, you need to heal too and consider if you really want to spend your eternity with that Kurosaki boy" Unohana recommended

Ichigo...

It reminded her that she was not only hurting herself, but another person who was innocent too.

Rukia had a long way to go before she could regain her strenght and dig herself out of the mess she was deep into.
