Byakuya's Pov
Byakuya looks at them saying, 'it has been a long eventful day please get to the point…' they look over to Mr. Wizard who says, 'Nothing really….you will just have to win back your wife, before she and Ginrei completely join'
Without a word, Byakuya stands and walks out the door…
As he walks out the Inn, a car pulls up to him, he waves it off saying he will walk, as his car pulls off, he starts to walk toward his residence that he maintains in KaraKura town.
His mind is going over all that was spoken during the meeting. 'We both talked about it, we both knew she would be upset, but I did not know the history between them. 'Akihiko touched her… he grabbed her and kissed her.'…
He walks and stops in front a baby furniture shop… he stands looking at the display; his face is intense with thought…
The past again has resurfaced… as he looks at the beautiful crib; he knows all too well what is at stake.
"She knows in her heart I love her, her emotions are swinging, I can feel it"
"She has a strong need to be at peace, to feel loved, and to feel cherished" …. 'But more importantly why is her trust fading" breathing deeply. 'Miski regardless of what I have done in the past and now; you have trusted me, what has happen?'
He breaths deeply and begins to walk a short distance, he stops again and looks back into the window then grins as he pulls out his cell and makes a call….
A visitor Reader's Pov
Meanwhile at the same time….
Outside the Shoten, the gate opens and closes now standing is a handsome man… beautifully dressed in an Armani suite, his blond hair pulled neatly back in a long pony tail, in one hand he is carrying a beautiful bouquet of fresh white lilies and blue tiger lilies… in his other hand is a beautiful jewelry box…
As he steps towards the Shoten on his face is a look of disgust… he thinks to himself, 'what is this place, she should be in a palace, not this dump!!!'
He reaches in his pocket, taking his cell and makes a call
As he steps toward the Shoten, another man quietly stands behind him reaching for him…
While a third man sits on the roof, completely hidden from all and watches them both…
A hand wraps itself around the mouth of the handsome man and pulls him into the shadows; the surprised man looks around and sees it is Daiki…
Daiki: "You fool, why are you here?"
Akihiko: [pulling himself away from the man] 'Get your dirty hands off of me' … [standing tall] 'What the hell you mean'
Daiki: [looking at man] 'It is too dangerous for you to be here now; the Gotei 13, Shihoin and Kuchiki Nobles are here'
Akihiko: [looking at him] 'So, what does that have to do with me'
Daiki: [rolling his eyes, shaking his head] 'you fool, they are still inquiring as to who is behind the attack on her'
Akihiko: [looking at him] 'Again what does that have to do with me, I have come to see my future wife'
Daiki: [looking irritated] 'You know the plan, but you continue to deviate from it"
Akihiko: [Looking defensive] 'I am not deviating from the plan, I have come to see her'
Daiki: [eyes cutting at him] 'Your premature actions with that letter, the plan was to let the Kuchiki nobles force him to relinquish her not your letter'
Akihiko: [angry] 'what does it matter, she is relinquished and I am here to see her' [starting to walk again towards the Shoten, only again to be stopped] 'It is my right to see her when I wish and I wish to do so NOW"
Daiki: [breathing deeply] 'you must go now, before you ruin everything' … [moving towards him] 'If you must see her DO IT TOMORROW' [standing face to face] 'we have come too close to have your need for power and revenge ruin things and Dai will NOT Allow Failures'
Akihiko: [hearing Dai's Name, has fear in his eyes] … 'Fine I will return tomorrow, just as Dai has come close, I am also close to having all that I wish '
Akihiko, turning as a car pulls up and a man gets out as another walks out of the Shoten, they are talking then the man returns into the car and leaves while the other man returns into the Shoten , he become angry at what he sees…
Akihiko: 'What the hell is Byakuya doing here' … [looking worried] 'They gave her the right to choose, I cannot have him hanging around her, she is still in love with him and will return to him' … [pissed] 'and not only does he know it, that Bastards counting on it'…
Daiki: [looking at the man, nodding] 'I would suggest you play it smart, your actions today, I am told…. hurt her bad' [looking at him, like the idiot he is]…. 'You need to think how you are going to get into her good graces'
Akihiko: [angry] 'That is of no consequence, she will get over it….. I just need to have her close to me … so I can watch to ensure he is not around her' … [thinking] … 'I need her to return to Soul Society' … [looking at him, hard, making sure they remain undetected, they start to walk away] 'Contact Dai, tell him to move to phase 2, that way it ensures she returns, in the interim tomorrow I will see her'
The man on the roof has overheard everything; still he has made no move or reactions to what has been said….. He remains observant…
Reader's Pov
With Byakuya walking out of the meeting place this signaled the end of the meeting, everyone is leaving… going in different directions.
Mr. Wizard and the Black Cat walk out the inn together….
Mr. Wizard stops her and looks into her eyes, saying with a chuckle, 'I forgot to tell him, during our discussion this afternoon she said this time she will make sure he proves himself before to going back to him' …
Black Cat discreetly kisses him, saying, 'let's keep that information to ourselves'
Mr. Wizard grins pulling his hat over his eyes, saying, 'and I agree' as he takes her hand a leisurely walks home….
They now approach the Shoten…
The Black Cat stops, and stands staring at the home she has made with him, he looks at her, they had not talked about it, but he knows the meeting Pantherra and she had with Kitten, did not go well this morning, hence the real reason, Tamiski has been upset all day and the real reason she is staying with him.
He looks at her…
Mr. Wizard: [taking her in his arms] 'you must face her, she needs you now more ever'
Black Cat: [staring] 'she was beyond upset, she felt betrayed by us'
Mr. Wizard: [listening] 'I know, but we and she must move past it, and it starts now before Ginrei is born'… [Taking her hand] 'Let's go home, it will take time, but we need to start healing now'
Black Cat: [looks at him and smiles] 'As usually your logic is sound…
She stops in the middle of her sentence, sensing something her eyes become large as she looks to him, from his look he too senses it…
Black Cat: [eyes narrowing] 'He is here … I was wondering how long it would take before, he followed her to the Human world'
Mr. Wizard: [pulling his hat down] 'He is gone now, but he was not alone, there were two others, one went with him, while the other still sits on the roof'
Black Cat: [looking at him] 'Yes, Fumio… what Matsumoto said, today, you noticed my mother's reaction, do you think it is possible?'
Mr. Wizard: [looking at her] 'Knowing your mother anything is possible, but from her reaction, she knows more then she is telling' [breathing deeply, and kissing her forehead] 'we will give her some time, to come to us, if not we will confront her' … [they turn and start walking towards their home] 'but for now let's get some sleep, tomorrow is looking like a long day'
As the couple approaches the Shoten, Mr. Wizard shunpo up to the roof, summoning five Shihoin guards and then tells Fumio to go inside and get some needed sleep….
The next day ~Reader's Pov
A Ringtone sounds in the morning, as they all stir around, she is not there…. She is in the training room doing her martial arts stretches.
These stretches are in a form of a dance, her form is graceful, as she dances she hums a melody, her strikes even though there isn't any power behind them you can tell from watching if she wished they can easily kill.
She has been working out for 20 minutes, and she knows he has been hiding in the shadows watching her…
When she awoke she had decided today, she will start to get to the bottom of this mystery of Fumio, and now is the best time….
Miski: [Softly] 'Fumio, come here please…. I know you are there'
Fumio looking a bit surprised appears before her kneeling….
Miski: [looking down shaking her head] 'Fumio first, if you wish to remain with me, you must stop kneeling' [he looks up at with surprise] 'those who travel with me, I consider as friends…. I wish you to remain with me… I wish to consider you a friend… and to do so you must not kneel or bow, you must feel comfortable enough to speak freely to me'
He now stands next to her, she smiles at him as she looks up… she notices because he always bowed or knelt they thought he was small… but he isn't….
Miski: [still looking at him] 'Now since you are here you can work out with me… you have watched… so let's go'
She silently starts to dance, his moves interact with hers … she continues to hum the melody it is synchronized with her moves… they have been working out for 10 mins.
She is comfortable, without telling him she moves the dance in to advanced stages, the melody is the same, but their movement interactions are more intense…
He to hums the melody, as he gently takes her in his arms and swings her as she kicks into the air at an invisible target… back to back, throwing punches and kicks…
They have not made any mistakes in this dance; it is like this dance was choreographed just for them.
Urahara and Yoruichi silently observe and records the session …
As they watch Miski and Fumio finish, she turns; her face is full of emotion as she walks away saying, 'I need to see my mother now'.
Urahara's face also has emotion, as he continues to watch Miski and Fumio as they now sit on a rock laughing…
Miski and Fumio ~ Reader's Pov
Looking at him, Miski wrinkles her nose…
Miski: [taking a good look at him] 'Hey what is on your face'
Fumio: [shy] 'What do you mean princess'
Miski: [looking hard] 'Please call me Miski… do not call me Princess'
Fumio: [eyes large] 'That would disrespectful'
Miski: [rolling her eyes] 'Once again if you cannot speak to me as a friend, I must send you back and I do not want to do that'… 'So what is that on your face?'
Fumio: [looking embarrassed] 'Miski, it is paint… used to help blend into the environment'
Miski: [giggling] 'Ok, it is time to clean you up… if you are going to be hanging out with me... you will not need that, you are one of us'
as She stands, Yuri and Sado have just arrived and are approaching them.
Miski: [laughing] 'good morning Yuri and Sado Kun'
Yuri and Sado both say 'good morning'
Miski: 'Yuri, did you bring the things I asked for'
Yuri looking at Fumio nodding,
She and Miski both look at him with a mischievous grin, rubbing their hands together
Miski: 'we must get you cleaned up and ready to accompany us for today's activities'
Fumio: [looking at them both with large eyes] 'What do you mean' [he looks to Sado]
Sado: [Snickers] 'Just go with them, it won't hurt, unless you fight them'
Miski and Yuri each take one of his arms and march him back upstairs, into a bedroom, then bathroom and throws him over to the shower, saying, 'WASH now, all of it …OFF!!!'… closing the door, Miski calls Hisa and Cheri, looking at all three she says , 'I am going to get dressed, you three know what to do, call me when you are done' she walks away with a grin…
Fumio ~ Reader's Pov
As she walks to her room, Miski runs into Renji who tells her of a great place they should check out today for lunch after the planned activities, she smiles at him saying, 'contact Yuzu and make the reservations'
As she continues into her room to dress, she is smiling thinking, 'today is going to be great'.
Isshin, Karin, Hitsugaya, Ichigo, Yuzu, and Jinta have just arrived at the Shoten and are talking to Urahara and Sado as Rukia runs out of the back room excited saying, 'stay right there, you guys have to see this'.
She turns and runs towards the room she shares with Miski saying, 'Ne Sana...Ne Sana'
Miski hearing Rukia call her Ne Sana, rolls her eyes and just deflates her shoulders, laughing to herself thinking, 'she will never stop calling me that'
As she lifts her head she has a smile on her face thinking … 'Humm maybe she truly feels the same way I do …that I am … I am her Ne Sana'
Rukia runs into the room breaking her thoughts, saying, 'Ne Sana, he is cleaned up; and you must see this'…
Rukia taking Miski by the arm, they both walk out…
Matsumoto and Renji hearing Rukia walk out to join the others…
Hisa walks out, she looks over to Urahara, eyeing him with a questioning smirk on her face...
Cheri steps out she too has the same look on her face…
Yuri walks out looking at Urahara and looking around for someone else; then her eyes settle back on Urahara…
Miski looks at them a little confused; then she shakes it off saying, 'Fumio… well are you coming out or do I have to come in there and get you ... ' Everyone laughs at her only to drop silent when he walks out…..
Fumio has been cleanup … he stands 5'10''; his black hair has been cut short, revealing his amber eyes which are like hers, his skin is a smooth milk chocolate which is like Yuri's.. His face which is like both Miski and Yuri's … his body is muscular as he stands before them in jeans, blue cotton shirt and jacket.
Matsumoto looking whispers to Hisa and Cheri, 'Good God… NICE'... they both look at her nodding their heads quietly.
Miski smiles as she, never giving any recognition of the fact that they look alike, walks up to him, laughing as she, nudges him says, 'You look so much better and tell the truth you feel better too'
He shyly nods his head in agreement…
As she and Yuri stand next to Fumio, Everyone looks with amazement at what they see;
Isshin looks over to Urahara, who is discreetly snapping several pictures on his cell phone.
Following Miski's lead no one gives any recognition to the fact that Miski, Yuri, and Fumio even thought they are different, they look like triplets…
They are related, there is no question…
Miski turns to everyone, excited saying, 'Come on let's get moving, we are going to be late'…
To everyone surprise she runs over to Urahara, kissing him on the cheek saying, 'Cya, Sensei' then runs out the Shoten.
As Isshin, Ichigo, and Hitsugaya start to walk out Urahara motions them to him saying, 'watch her closely, her hormones are really affecting her'…
They nod and walk out joining the others in a waiting car...
Today's Activities ~ Reader's POV
They are all at the hospital; as a surprise, Yuzu had arranged that the foundation would come to the KaraKura Town Hospital and along with the some of the patients, using Rukia's designs and paint the playroom in the children's wing with hand prints.
As they leave the Car, they are met by Inoune, Ishida, and Tatsuki who stands in awe as she meets Fumio.
They have all changed into white jumpers, and everyone is happily painting something on the walls; there are 10 children in all who are helping.
Fumio watches the interaction between her and the children;
He smiles as he sees a little girl put hand prints in blue on her white jumper…
Her laugh is bright, he listens as he hears her say, 'Aiko on the wall not on me'
She looks up at him smiling saying, 'Aiko, Fumio does not have any paint'
Suddenly, the happy little girl with chubby blue hands now chases him around the room, everyone laughs as they see the little girl trap him and put hand prints all on his jumper… she then points to a part of the wall which is unpainted, he picks her up and they both paint…
Miski turns and observes everyone, please with what she sees, she turns and continues to paint the wall with the children…
Lunch ~ Reader's Pov
Fumio looks over at her; he notices she looks tired; he walks over to Yuri and Sado, telling he thinks they should take a break because both Karin and Miski are starting to look tired.
Yuri looks over and observes the same thing; she walks over to Yuzu and they both tell the group that it is time for lunch.
As they walk towards the door of the hospital, Yuzu says, `we will be having lunch at a nice Inn, two blocks down the street', she then turns asking both Karin and Miski, if they would like to wait for the car, because they both look tired.
They look at each other then look at her saying, 'We are not tired, and we can at least walk down the street'… with that they both arm and arm starting to walk down the street…
As the two women walk, down the street they suddenly stop in front of a shop; they stand there staring, their mouths momentary open and close, as they turn and look at each; then walk into the store….
Karin stands before a crib, is has a dragon carved into the mahogany head board,she looks up to Hitsugaya who is now standing besides her, grinning down at her.
She says, 'It is perfect!!!'
Matsumoto walks over to her Taicho, and nudges him slightly with approval…
Yuzu and Jinta have now walked into the store, she whispers in his ear, and his looks to her nodding as she goes off looking; then she see it a beautiful light power blue crib, it is the same shade of blue as her necklace; everyone looks over to her in surprise when she calls her husband saying, 'this is it the one';
Hearing this conversation, Ichigo and Isshin both turn with excitement saying, 'you too, why did you not tell us'
Ichigo looks over to Rukia who is standing with Fumio and Miski saying, 'Rukia did you know about this'
she looks over laughing saying, 'yes' as she walks over to him, the foundation members all laughs saying, 'she told us a month ago'
Miski is walking through the store, it is like she is being drawn toward something, then she sees it, her amber eyes start to glow.
Fumio seeing this starts to look closely at her, and then he sees it; her swollen belly which has been hidden all this time.
He watches her as she walks to the crib, it is one of a kind, made from a rare chestnut bark, that is soft to the touch; on the headboard is scene of a Japanese manor; with cherry blossom trees, it is beautiful.
He sees her as she instinctively turns as if to say something to someone; to someone that is not there, realizing her actions she quickly turns back trying to hide the tears that are building in her eyes.
As she stands there looking at the crib, a sales woman walks up to her saying 'It is beautiful isn't it, and it is one of a kind'
Miski looks to her saying, 'Yes, it is beautiful … I would like to purchase it'
She looks at her with sad eyes saying, 'I am sorry, madam it was purchased today…. Can I show you something else?'
She is completely heartbroken as she quietly stands there, trying again not to cry….
It is then that fate twisted the knife ….
He walked into the shop, he had been looking for her all morning, his blonde hair putted back, he is drop dead handsome, on his face a large smile and in his hand a newspaper.
He approached the group saying, 'hello' before anyone could stop him, he had walked up to her from behind and kissed her on the back of her neck, and put the newspaper in her hands saying, 'you truly are an unmarried woman'
She looked down at the newspaper, on the front page she saw her picture along with Byakuya's and Akihiko's, a large headline accusing her of cheating with Akihiko and because of this her husband had filed for divorce …
Someone Screams.' MISKI … Stop!!!'
Everything went Black….
