"Sosuke!" Hisana hurried as fast as she could with her basket on her hip. He swooped down low to kiss her.

"Did you get it?"

"I did!"

"I told you that you would be beautiful enough to impress even a noble house," He hummed, lightly making circles on her waist with his fingertips. She leaned tiredly against his chest. He took the basket from her and carried it as they walked back to her hut.

"How was today's catch?"

"Decent, with my aim, anyway."

"So I can trust you to always feed me?" Hisana teased and he kissed the back of her neck before letting her go to her home.

"Among other things."

"Sosuke," She giggled shyly.

"Turn around and kiss me, Hisana." She obeyed shyly, kissing him back eagerly. Hearing footsteps she pushed him away in time to greet Rukia innocently. Rukia was standing beside a tall, auburn street thug whom she called a friend. They were laughing heartily about something and Rukia held a small package of salt.

"Sosuke! Did you bring the fish?" Rukia asked and Sosuke smiled.

"Of course. They are inside."

"Stop harassing Sosuke into bringing us food!" Their mother shouted from inside the house.

"Don't listen to your mother!" Their dad shouted from around back of the house and everyone snickered.

"Do stay to eat with us, Sosuke- Oh! Renji, how good of you to finally show your face around these parts again." Renji bowed low.

"My sincerest apologies O-Rini, I've been working for the season."

"For a mob boss?" Sosuke inquired cynically.

"Renji? That better not be true." Rini stuck her head out the door covered in a bloodied apron and fish guts. She was as beautiful as her two stunning daughters, only with a few wrinkles and streaks of grey hair. He scratched the back of his neck. Rukia stuck out her neck for him,

"Mother! We all do what we have to- back off." Rini pouted at her youngest child.

"Watch how you speak to me, Rukia-chan." Rukia skulked and dragged Renji round back to help her father prepare the cooking fire.

"Oh, Sosuke why can't all my future son in laws be as respectable as you?"

"Mother!" Hisana turned beat red.

"You'd let Renji marry Rukia?" Sosuke inquired, unfazed. Rini shrugged.

"He's handsome and good to my Rukia. That's hard to find around these parts where wife-beaters and wife-mongers are the common streak. Come,"

"We'll be just a moment, O-Rini." She winked and Hisana blushed again. Sosuke pushed her raven hair from her face and kissed her passionately, pulling her into his arms.

"Come to my house tonight," He breathed deeply, teasing her skirt up to her hips and she shrieked, afraid they'd get caught. She laughed at his expression and strung her arms around his shoulders; he swung her around.

Having finished secretly breastfeeding her son, Hisana rejoined the garden party, finding her way back to her husband's side.

"Hisana, just in time. I would like for you to meet Lord Aizen." Her eyes widened and Aizen stared at her quizzically.

"Lord A-aizen," She forced a stiff bob of her head. He bowed slowly in return, eyes fixated on her heatedly.

"Lady…Hisana."

"Do you know each other?" Byakuya asked, puzzled.

"Surely not. Perhaps in a different life." Aizen responded matter-of-factly. Byakuya raised an eyebrow in her direction when Aizen turned around to address someone else. She wilted under his scrutiny. How could she tell her husband after things were beginning to go so well that Lord Aizen was the son of a fisherman that held her maidenhood?

And worse.
