Yay. Your guy's reviews are amazing :) I love how a lot of you help out with my writing. It really does help me a lot and I'm so grateful! I don't honesty know how much longer this story will go on but I do have A LOT of stuff to add in so it'll probably be quite a few chapters. I just wanted to thank everyone again for all their great feed back and everything. You guys are SERIOUSLY what keep this story going.

RUKIA'S POV

As soon as the bell rang, signalling the end of school, I raced towards Byakuya's car. My heart beat fast as I saw it pull up.

We didn't go to Hisana's grave very much, but when we did, Byakuya always brought the most beautiful flowers and some cleaning supplies. The sun would always be low in the sky by the time we got back home.

I swung open the door and jumped in. Byakuya was in the driver's seat and I could tell he had gone home and changed into something nicer. He always looked good when we visited her. "Are you ready?" He asked.

"Yeah."

The car ride was silent and I didn't really mind, it gave me time to think. Ichigo was my main problem. I wanted to forgive him. I wanted to tell him that I wasn't mad and we could be together. But I felt like he had betrayed my trust. Of course it wasn't fair that I had been flirting with Keigo, and I regretted that, but he had gone even farther. The way he made her laugh and the way he smiled while he talked to her had really hurt. My fists clenched at my sides and I struggled to calm myself. I had left the flowers from him at school by the window and promised the teacher I would bring them home tomorrow. I just didn't have enough room for them today.

RING!!!!!!!

The sound shook me from my thoughts and I glanced at my brother. His phone was sitting between us in the front cup holder. The sound he had put as his ring tone was like a dying cow. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the number and I smiled when he clicked ignore. "I told no one to call me today."

"It's fine. I mean, I know your work is important to you."

He shook his head, "No. Today is just the three of us. I promised you."

My smile widened and I looked out the window. "Thank you."

We arrived just a few minutes later and I hopped out. Byakuya went around back and popped the trunk. He was probably getting the flowers and the stuff to clean.

I looked around the graveyard and sighed. It was always depressing to be here but at the same time, I relieved. The graves were all in neat rows with a good foot or two between the separate head stones.

The flowers he had brought this time were nine roses, a red Carnation, a Heartsease and a Forget-Me-Not. The Forget-Me-Not and nine roses were the ones he always brought. At first, I thought he just liked those the best, but I later learned they all had meanings. The nine roses meant 'We'll be together forever' and the Forget-Me-Not symbolized true love. I'd have to look up the other two later.

I carried the cleaning equipment and he carried the fowers up the hill and placed them in a vase beside her grave. He had had the vase installed next to her grave so we could place the flowers there. We both sat down next to her grave got to work.

We took turns scrubbing away dirt and cutting away grass that had grown over the sides. "Do you miss her?" I whispered.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder like he always day and held me close. "Everyday."

I blinked away the tears and leaned into his shoulder. "Tell me the story again."

He didn't have to ask what I meant. "We met on Christmas Eve." As he began the story, I could picture it.

A young man, no more than twenty-seven rushed down the street. Snow and ice pulled at his jacket making the task of getting to his car even all the more difficult. He cursed silently and blinked away the snow in his eyes.

That's when he saw her. She was running towards him full speed, her hands full of bags and her eyes down. Before he could shot to her, she ran into him. They tumbled to the ground in a mess of limps, groceries and presents. "I'm so sorry!" She said, hurrying to collect her lost possessions.

He shook his head and began helping her place the items in the bag. "No it's fine. Don't worry about it. Are you alright?"

They both reached for the last box and their hands touched. Both looking up, their eyes locked and they shared a smile. "I'm fine. Are you okay?"

Nodding, he helped her to her feet. "I'm fine. Listen, do you need a ride home? My car is only a block back the way you came."

She thought it over for a minute. "I don't know. I shouldn't. I mean I just met you."

He frowned slightly, "Oh, I see."

"I'm sorry. I just-" she looked around.

He shrugged, "It's fine."

As he began to walk away, she called out. "Wait! Actually, I would love a ride home."

The man smiled, "Well then. Let's hurry. My fingers are getting numb."

"What did you say your name was?" She asked after fastening her seat belt.

"Byakuya, and your's?"

She gave her a smile that melted his heart, "Hisana."

"After that, we went back to your house and your family invited me for dinner."

The memory of that Christmas made me smile. He had looked so out of place in our little house. My mom and dad had been so grateful that he had brought her home safely. When he laid eyes on me he tensed. "You look like a mini Hisana."

At first I had been angry. Being compared to my sister was agravating but when I saw the way he looked at her, I knew that I wanted something like that and maybe my likeliness to my sister would help.

We sat together for a short time and when the sun began to set, Byakuya started picking up the rest of our stuff. "Do you think Hisana ever thinks of us?"

He smiled down at me and I felt like my sister for a moment. "Every chance she gets."

The car ride home was just as silent as on the way there. It always was.

When we got home, he went to his room and I to mine. This is how the night would always end and I knew by tomorrow morning I would have completely forgiven him.

My room was still a mess and would probably be like this until further notice. As I changed out of my school uniform and pulled a clean one out for tomorrow, something caught my eye. Before walking over, I pulled on a pair of silky grey pajama's. I walked over to the window and pulled it open. Whatever it was was taped to the outside of the window with a note attached.

I took it off and read the note.

A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl.

-As Always, Ichigo.

The flowers was beautiful. It was a Hyacinth. Thankfully my computer wasn't one of the things I had destroyed and I got on the computer and looked up the meanings of all the flowers from today.

The red Carnation meant 'My poor heart aches for you' and the Heartsease meant 'I am always thinking of you'. My heart clenched for Byakuya. He had fallen in love just to have it torn out from under him. I looked up the Hyacinth next. It's meaning was 'I am sorry, please forgive me.'

Smiling to myself, I shook my head. He had a long way to go before I was ready to make up. Besides, me and the girls still had a plan.

Yep, there it is. I'm not going to lie, this chapter sucked. I was really hoping to make it better with Byakuya and Rukia's relationship but it all felt forced :/ I hope you atleast enjoy a lil of it. My next chapter is going to be for all of those who reviewed and such. It would be an actual chapter but it will be like a thanks to everyone. So, if you have any questions of comments you want me to respond to send them in :D

THANKS!
