Yes I am back with the next chapter. God I love teasing you people, since the NEXT chapter, you will find out what she is hiding, HOWEVER, I am NOT going to upload until I have at least 10 reviews, so get typing! Enjoy this chapter... what happened the day she left Byakuya?

"Thank you all for coming," called the Shunsui, "I hope you have a pleasent evening an-"
"Cut the crap!" shouted Rangiku, "Give us April!"
"Patience child, you will get her back once the party's over."
"Why don't we give them our little gift?" smiled the fake Toshiro.
"Of course! I almost forgot to tell them!" 'Here it comes.' I started to feel a small amount of movement in my neck again.
"I'm sure, by now, you have worked out that each of us modified souls have a special capability." He pointed to Kon, "Ichigo here can out run, kick and jump all of us." He pointed to Chappy, "Rukia has an amazing amount of strength that can surpass even Kenpachi." Both the real and fake Kenpachi scoffed at the claim, then glared to eachother, "But do you know," continued Shunsui, "What Jushiro's is? It is the biggest power out of all of ours." A cruel smile curled upon their lips, "It is the power to go through ones memories! It is used to distract the enemy with the thoughts they hide the most." 'Nanei? There going to show my past not tell it!' I started to try and move, frantic to escape, but it was no use, only my neck and toes were moving.
"Now let's see, does anyone in the audience wish to suggest a memory?" The fake Yumichika spoke up, "What about the one where she first left the Kuchiki manor?" 'No! That memory will hurt me and Byakuya just as strong as when it was made!' "Please, don't do this." I begged.
"Quiet! These people deserve the truth! All you had brought to these people, your so-call friends, is misery!" The real shinigami shouted their denial while others stood to watch. It hurt me to see that those ones had Byakuya included. He wanted to know the truth, but I didn't want him to find out like this. The fake Jushiro extended his arms, endulging the world around us into a dark night, in the garden of the Kuchiki manor. 'No...'

"Don't look April-san! It's a suprise." A young Byakuya called, "Close your eyes." I did as I was told, the young me did anyway.
"Can they see us?" asked Ikakku, clearly not interested.
"No." replied the fake one. The real one tutted and carried on watching.
"Where are you taking me?" I laughed.
"I told you, it's a suprise." I sighed in playful frustration.
"Almost there...and...open!" I fluttered them open to see a picnic layed out under the cherry blossom tree, in the starry sky.
"Oh, it's lovely! Did you make the food yourself?"
"Yep, your cooking lessons are excellent." I giggled and sat next to him on the checkered blanket. My head met his shoulder and his arm wrapped around mine. We stared silently over the river, filled with Koi fish.
"Oh! Almost forgot." I shunpo-ed away and returned in an instand, holding three gift-wrapped items, "Happy Birthday, Byakuya-san!" I chimmed. He reluctently took the presents, opening the smallest first. Inside was a small green item.
"Ambassador seaweed?" He laughed.
"I don't know why but when I saw that, it reminded me of you. Press the top." So he did and it popped open, revealing the picture of us, looking very noble.
"So that's why he's obsessed with that thing?" Renji whispered to Rukia. She ignored him and watched, eager to know about her brother.
The second present was ripped open, a small box containing faded blue fingerless tekkou.
"There ment to help with fighting." He picked them up and looked them over approvingly.
Byakuya looked at his hands, he was wearing those tekkou.
"The third is the main gift though." This time, Byakuya took his time to unwrap the paper. It was a long, leather-coated box to begin, but inside, "A sword guard!" He exclaimed in suprised, "It's amazing!" It was black but encrestent in jewels in the shape of a dragon.
"It was a lucky find I guess, but it took alot of my money!" I joked. He leaned over and embraced me lovingly. "Thank you, April-san. They are all brilliant gifts." I held back my blush but I could swear my heart beat could of been heard a mile away. But to my displeasure, the hug ended. We decided to start eating and just talked.
"April-san, what do you see when you look into the night sky?"
"Well...what do you see?"
"A long, happy life with the stars being the best memories, and the moon being the love of my life." Such a beautiful answer, even for his age, "And you?"
"I'd rather not say."
"Go on."
"It's dark."
"Go on." I sighed, there was no way out of this.
"The night is darkness, the stars are good moments that shine threw, however the darkness comsumes them, and overpowers the good times." You could tell that Byakuya thought that was dark. Even for me, "But," I continued, "The moon does show a memory so great, it will keep you shining through, even if your life is over come by the darkness." I let a small smile and forward my gaze from the moon to Byakuya. He was beautiful in the moonlight, almost magical.
"I hope that memory can be with me." He whispered to me. I didn't hold my blush. Byakuya looked at his watch, 11:55pm.
"5 minutes away." Then he pulled out a bottle of sake.
"You want some? Considering I am now 100 years old, I'm not under-age!" He smiled gleefully, eager to have a try at his first taste of alcohol.
"Yeah but I still am." I teased, "Wait 5 minutes and we can celebrate then." He chuckled and pushed aside.
"Where did you get that anyway?" I asked.
"Shunsui-san."
"Should of known." I laughed and rolled my eyes.
Jushiro glared at Shunsui, giving him an your-lucky-my-daughter's-sensible look.
"5...4...3...2...1...Happy Birthday April-san." He winked at me, "We are officially adults."
"You want that sake then?" I pointed to it.
"Yes!" He seemed very exicted at the fizzy liquid. I grabbed two cups from the basket and poured it out, passing one to Byakuya.
"To our friendship." Byakuya smiled. I sipped the liquid as Byakuya gulped it down, only to spit it out again. "That's disgusting!" He shouted, wiping his mouth. I continued to drink it, letting the taste dance on me. "I think it's quite nice." I swished the last bit in my cup before swallowing it.
"More?" He asked, looking at me as if I was mad.
"No thanks, I'll save it." I smiled back.
"Oh it's time for your presents." Byakuya got up and shunpo-ed out, then back clutching three presents.
"You got me three too?" I laughed at the coinsedance. He passed me the biggest one. I opened it elegantly, to reveal a kimono. It was black with cherry blossoms running from the rim towards the pink obi.
"I know you don't really like pink bu-"
"It's beautiful!" I smiled, looking it up and down, "Do you mind if I quickly change into it?"
"Of course not!" I hurried into my room and changed, eager to see what it was like on. The sleeve ran passed my hands as the neck reached to my throat, just as I like it. I went back to him and twirled in it, getting an approving sign from Byakuya. He motioned me to sit again and passed me the second. I unwrapped it quicker this time, hyped up at the new dress. This one was a small jewellery box, holding a silver, heart-shaped locket.
"Oh, wow." I held my breath as I opened it. Inside was the picture of me kissing Byakuya's cheek. I let out a breathy laugh.
"I love this Byakuya-san." I also gave him a quick cheek kiss, however, it was ruined.
"April." a stricted yet loving voice called, "We need to talk." I turned from Byakuya to see Yoruichi standing infront of us. 'Curse that cat!'
"I'll be back in a minute Byakuya-san." He nodded, still holding the third gift.
"What is it, Yoruichi?" Annoyence can easily be detected in my voice.
"They're coming April. We have about an hour to leave." I looked at her in disbelief.
"Now? They wern't to show up in a matter of days!" I couldn't stand it! This was going to be the perfect day for me and Byakuya, but...
"Now April, I'm afraid you won't have time to say goodbye." she turned to leave, "Also, something's been up with Kisuke, he's been framed. Even me and him will not be able to come back, maybe forever." Those words seemed like a knife in my chest. 'Forever?' I hung my head, hiding my face behind my fringe.
"The worst has come, you'll have to sort Byakuya out and meet us outside the Kuchiki's gate in 15 minutes tops." Then she left without another word.
"April-san!" Byakuya smiled at me but faded it once he saw something was wrong.
"I'm sorry for this Byakuya-san, I really am." I started to sing, making him sway as he stood.
"What are yo-" He fell forward, knocking him out just through a simple song. I drapped him over my shoulder and took him into his bedroom. Quickly I write a note explaining a lie that I had to leave due to family buisness, and that I would return one day, unharmed. A last look over to his sleeping body, I pressed a firm kiss on him cheek.
"Be safe, and live happy." I whispered.

I ran out of the room and tossed my clothes into a suitcase. I looked in the mirror and noticed the kimono I was wearing. I couldn't bear it, I took it off and left it on the chest at the bottom of my bed, quickly throwing some casual wear that I used outside of the Kuchiki manor. I forgot about the locket and left it upon my neck. I left my books and artwork, our memories were left in this room, to be here for eternity. Now running down the corridor, Byakuya woke up and caught my shadow going past his room.

"I'm here, Yoruichi, Kisuke."
"Come on, we need a quick escape." They both ran through the portal before I could, I froze at my name being called.
"April-san! April-san!" I turned to see Byakuya behind me.
"Kido number one; restrain." I called against Byakuya. It wouldn't hold him long. He fell to the ground with his arms held behind him.
"Why? Why are you going?" He shouted, I couldn't tell if it was fear, anger or hurt reflected in his eyes, any of them was enough for me to start the waterworks.
"I'm sorry Byakuya-san but please understand it's for your own good."
"We can make it work April, please don't do this!" He stared at me straight in the eye, "I love you." Those words made me jump for joy and fill with hatred among myself.
"I can't stay, I'm sorry. I will return but-"
"April come on!" Byakuya saw Yoruichi's face, he hated her already but now he was filled with rage. "YORUICHI YOU BITCH! April what ever she said don't listen to her!"
"I'm sorry, but this she speaks the truth. I have to go! Good-bye, Byakuya-sama." The gate closed as Byakuya freed himself, he reached out for me but wasn't in time.
"April-san." He whispered barely through the tears running across his face.
I couldn't take it, the pain I had inflicted on those who didn't deserve it. I wanted to die right there, but I
turned away from both the real and fake Byakuya, both reminding me of that horrible scene.
