Rukia's POV:
Monday Afternoon: (Continued)
Byakuya stood in awe as he saw his wife right in front of his very eyes. "Hisana, what are you doing here? Are you sure you are feeling alright?" He asked worried written all over his face.
Hisana just gave him a warm smile. "Yes I am feeling alright, and the reason why I am here is because I wanted to come." She said.
Byakuyacould tell that she was lying the expression on her face was fake. The black haired Kuchiki sighed knowing his wife to well. "Hisana, tell the truth." Byakuya said getting up from the couch and walking towards Hisana.
I watched as my two older relatives talked. That's when I realized I was probably intruding on their "reunion". I let out a fake sigh. "I will leave you two alone," I said walking towards my room.
"Rukia," Hisanasaid stopping me. "I still need to talk to you." She said, I could tell she was worried, her voice was soft and fragile, but it was serious.
I nodded not looking back. "I know." I said and I continued to walk towards my room.
No POV:
Hisana looked towards Byakuya once Rukiahad left. "I need to tell you something." She said to the male Kuchiki.
Byakuya nodded leadinghis wife to the couch and sitting down. Hisanafallowed sitting next to Byakuya. "I came here because Rukia is going to run away..." She said her eyes on the floor.
Byakuya tensed. "When did you find out?" he asked.
"When I was in the middle realm." was the solum reply that came from Hisana mouth. She looked towards Byakuya and stared at him with her purple eyes. "Today Azien found out that I came here, he is going to come after us." Hisanasaid seriously.
Byakuya sighed. "Hisana, did you find Masaki?" Byakuya asked.
Hisana felt tears gather in her eyes. "No, we were seperated when we entered the realm, I looked for her and asked around if they had seen her but, I couldnt find her." She said her voice trailing off.
Byakuya looked up at the cieling and then he looked back at Hisana. "We should visit the Kurosaki house, maybe in the summer we will all go and search for her." He said.
"And Rukia?"
"No, she doesnt know about that yet," Byakuya said.
Hisana looked at him seriously. "She is going to find out, what will happen then?" Hisana asked her eyebrows furrowing. She was taunting the male Kuchiki to answer, she wanted to prove him wrond and get her way.
Knowing Byakuya though, her wasnt going to let that happen. "We will have to let fate play her part." the male Kuchiki said looking at his wife.
"They tried to kill her today." Hisana said putting her head on Byakuya's shoulder. "That's why I came to her school." Hisana said sighing.
Byakuya laughed. "You act like its a chore." He said.
Hisana smiled. "That's not the reason why I am sighing, I am just wondering what would happen if I didn't come..." Hisana said looking at the floor again. The thought about what she said made her regret, she wanted to take her words back.
"If you didn't come she would be dead and you wouldnt have a sister." Byakuya said knowing that Hisana would be mad.
Hisana punched him on the shoulder. "Shut up dont say that! I wonder how Rukia survived with you?" Hisanasaid furry rising. "You haven't change have you?"
"No, I haven't." He said rubbing his bruised shoulder. "And Rukia has a Sould Spirit she wouldnt die with Shirayuki by her side." Byakuya said.
"Rukia probably thinks Shirayuki is not even real, think about it, Rukia doesn't know about her past and its our duty to tell her." Hisana said seriously. She was already getting frustrated with the situation, she just didn't want to loose it.
"Didn't you already tell her?" Byakuya asked.
"Just a small part! Know stop whining go tell her!" Hisana scolded.
"Why me?" Byakuya complained.
"Because you failed at your first job! You were suppose to give Rukia a normal life, you did the exact opposite!" He shouted.
"Well I did what you said for fourteen years, it was Rukiawho wanted to go to that school, she said something about staying with her friends!" Byakuya shouted back starting to get irretated.
Ok, you were probably thinking Byakuya and Hisana were a romantic couple that never fought and fell in love. Wrong. Byakuya and Hisana would fight constantly until oneof them would win the conversation, and it was usually Hisana.
Hisanastared at her husband in disbelief shaking her head slowly. This was his punishment. Silence.
After a while Byakuya couldn't take it anymore. He loved to piss Hisana off but he hated it when the fight would get tooserious."Fine!" he gave up. "You win, go tell her whatever you want!" The male Kuchiki said crossing his arms and rollinghis eyes childishly.
A grin appeared on Hisana face. "Thank you By-Kun!" She said happily getting up and walking toward Rukia's room.
Byakuya let a small smile slip on his face. "Dont call me that!" The thought about Hisana coming back made him happy. The constant fights they would have and the scolding she would give him brought the male Kuchiki memories he would never forget.
Rukia's Room:
Rukia's POV:
I was laying on my stomach, on my bed, with a book in front of my face and my feet kicking the air. I heard a knock on the door and stop looking at my book giving my attention to it. "Come in." I said.
Hisana slowly opened the door entering my room. She walked in and closed the door behind her, walkingup to my bed and sitting down. "Hey..." She said.
I got up at fixed myself into a sitting position, "So what did you want to talk about?" I asked my eyebrows furrowing at my sister.
"Well about today..." she started lookingat the floor. "I am sorry I gave you and you friend detention, I only did that because I saw a vision of someone trying to kill you." Hisana said.
My eyes widened.
Blink.
"Thanks that makes me feel so much better!" I said sarcastically. "So what do I have to go into hiding for the rest of my life or what?" I asked raising a brow.
Hisana sighed and rolled her eyes. "Be serious Rukia," she scolded. "I am just telling you to be careful," She wasnt acting like her usual happy self, she was dead on serious. I knew it wasn't a time to be cracking jokes.
"Thats not all, is it?" I asked feeling a bit uncomfertable.
Hisana nodded her eyes avoiding mine. "Rukia..." she started, "You have been having strange dreams, right?" she asked.
I looked at my sister, a wierd look coming across my face. 'Have I been having wierd dreams?' I asked myself. 'Well the one with the beutiful lady, I guess that one counts, and the one I dont remeber does that one count?'
"Well Rukia?"
The voice broke my thoughts. "Oh... uh..." I was still spaced out but when I saw the look on my sisters face I snapped out of it. "I guess I have been having wierddreams," I said honestly.
Her body stiffened and she looked at me, her purple eyes piecing mine. "Have you seen a person, someone different, strange?" She asked.
'How dare she call me strange!'a voice rang inside my head. It was elegant, soothing, and familier.
I grabbed my head in pain, a shock past through my body.
Hisana was by my side imediatedly. "Rukia!" SHe exlaimedworriedly. "Whats wrong?" She asked grabbing my back and holding me comfortly.
I stuggled getting out my my sisters grasp and standing up with a hand to my head and my footingweak. "I am fine Hi-" I felt a pain enter my body and my eyelids sudently grew heavy, my vision gone blurry and darkness fill the air around me. "Hisa...na..." I muttered and I felt my body go heavy dropping into two arms.
'I guess my appearence was to much for her..." The elegant voice spoke out loud.
NO POV:
Hisana stared at the figure, her eyes narrowing down on the woman. "Shirayuki why are you here?" She asked, her voice dull, and cold.
The beautiful woman spoke. "I can't see my human?" Shirayuki protest. "I thought it was my duty to protect the little child." She said to Hisana, smirking at her words. Her hands carried Rukia's dead-like body bridal style.
Hisana stiffened. "You could've given warning." Hisana said.
Shirayuki's smirk turned into a smile. "As always, you're so protective of your peers, Hisana." Said Shirayuki, with content. "Wont you relax? I came to see Rukia, You were going to tell her about me, right?" she asked.
Hisanasighed givinginto the manipulative woman. "Fine." She said. "Just be more careful with your presence." She said.
Shirayuki nodded with a smile. "Ok!" Then the snowy haired girl carried Rukia to her bed, resting the raven haired girls head softy on the pillow. "Shall I make tea?" Shirayuki asked turning her head towards Hisana.
Hisana sighed putting a hand to her hip. "Ya that would help," she said walking out the door. Shirayuki smiled softly, fallowing Hisana out the door.
The Next Day:
Rukia's POV:
I woke up, my eyes staring at the blank ceiling. 'What happened?' I asked myself mentally. I slowly sat up, my hand fixed to my head as I tried to remember what had happened. Heck, I didn't even know what day it was.
I got up from the bed walkingout the door and into the livingroom rubbing my sleepoyeyes. "Brother... What's today?" I said sloppily.
"Well you finally got up."Said a voice that wasn't Byakuya's or Hisana's. The voice was soft, gracful, and almost lullaby-ish.
I looked towards the person who said those words. "Wha-a..." was all I could gather into my mouth. My words were stolen when I was the woman, sittingon the couch, sipping tea.
The woman was beautiful, no words could describe how much she past others in appearance. Her skin was pale, almost as white as the snowy-like hair that ran down her back. Her cloths were traditional, and she wore her kimono with grace.
I couldnt help but stare as I watched the beautiful woman sip her tea with her soft pink lips. "How do you feel, Rukia?" The beautiful woman said, setting down her cup and looking at me with her lips curved into a slim smile.
When I realized she was talking to me I snapped myself out of my staring spell and looked around the room for Byakuya and Hisana. "Umm... I am dreaming," I asked hesitantly. "right?"
"Rukia," a voice called. "Are you awake?" the voice asked. I watched athe door as a figure came out of the kitchen, holding plates of breakfest in her hands.
"Hisana?" I asked in disbelief.
"How are you feeling Rukia?" she asked politly the grin as big as ever. "Ahh! I see you have met Shirayuki, am I right?"
I blinked. 'Shirayuki...' I thought. 'The woman from my dreams... She actually... Real?'"H-how do you-?" No words came out of my mouth as I staired at the two woman in front of me.
"Shirayuki, do you care to explain?" Hisana asked turning towards SHirayuki and putting the plate on the table in front of her.
"Not at all." she said fixing her perfect posture to turn towards me. "As you can see my name is Sode No Shirayuki, remeber?"She asked her eyes crystal. I could'nt tell if her expression was fake, the woman looked perfect in every way possible.
I nodded. 'How can I forget?' I asked myself. 'You did come to me in a really wierd dream...'
The woman known as Shirayuki chuckled as if she was reading my thoughts. "Dontworry this time nothing will freak you out." She said with joy. "I came her to tell you about myself and why you should know."Shirayuki said her eyes narrowing.
I stiffened when the room got cold, chills ran through my spine as the woman stared at me. "Shirayuki, why do you come to me?" I asked.
A smirk-like smile curved into her mouth. "You see child," she started, "We are connected, in body and mind."She was able to catch the weird look that came om my face. "We are one, you are my keeper and I am your protector." She said. "Or in other words: your Soul Spirit."
My eyebrows furrowed. "Ok... then lets pretentthat I understand everything you just said; Why why do people need Soul Spirits, and what do Soul Spirits do?" I asked my brain hurting.
"Well..." Shirayuki started to think. "Lets say that the Protectors, me, protects the Keeper, you, from harm. And in return, the Keeper gives the Protector life, like a host. So without a Keeper the Protect will die, and without a Protector the Keeper will not survive. Get it?"
I stared at her gawking.
Hisana let out a sigh, "What Shirayuki means is that the Protector and the Keeper need each other to survive." she explained.
I nodded understanding. "Ok, but does everyone have a Protector?" I asked.
"Yes, but some have a stronger connection to each other allowing the two to communicate mentally and materialize like I am now." she smile triumpitly "I can't wait to tell all the others! There going to be so jealous! Take that you asses!"she muttered to herself excitedly.
I stared at Shirayuki. 'Double personality huh?...'I thought as a smile came over my face. "Hey Shirayuki, does the Soul Spirit share personality's with its Keeper?"
She looked at me blankly. "Umm... I don't know..."
I nodded rubbing my hands togethor. "Well I got to eat, I am starving!" I said getting up and stretching. I quickly examined all the food that was on the table debating which one I should devourer first.
"Rukia, just to let you know a big yellow car came and left." Hisana said.
I felt a bolt of electricity fly through my brain. "AW CRAP I'M LATE!" I shouted getting up quickly and grabbing my bag, racing out the door and into the street running for my life, cursing myself for being so stupid.
Hisana looked at Shirayuki. "Teens are so strange these days, ne?" she said.
Shirayuki shrugged with a piece of shrimp in her mouth. "Got any saki?"
Hisana sighed.
End of School day:
Rukia's POV:
I sighed, walking out of my class, tired as hell. "Ahh... Stupid family... making me run all the way to school... crappers..." I muttered walking down the long hall.
"Hey bum!" a voice shouted, Ifelt a hand on my head messing up my hair and another one patting my back.
I looked up, Kaien was the one messing up my hair with a big childish grin on his face and Toshiro was the one patting my back, he also had a big smirk of his face. I got away from the two and shouted. "Go look in a mirror!"
They laughed as I tried to fix my messed up hair. "Stop making so much noise you brain-farts!" Renji shouted walking down the hallway meeting with us.
Rangiku came from behind running towards me. "RUKI-CHAN~!" she exclaimed opening her arms attempting a hug.
I quickly got out of the way, panicked at her attempt. I dodged the running woman making her run into Toshiro, hugging him to death instead. I wanted to laugh my guts out.
"RANGIKU!" Toshiro shouted angerly almost out of breath.
Rangiku looked up noticing she was'nt hugging the right person. "Ehhhhh... Hitsugaya-chan? Where's Rukia?"
I could sense the furry run through Toshiro viens. "GET THE HELL OFF ME!" he shouted.
I laughed out loud not being able to hold it in. "Haha! Thats what you get for laughing at me!" I said pointing at the snowy haired teen.
"SHUT IT RUKIA!"
"Make me!"
"HELL ONCE I GET THE FREAKEN FAG OFF ME I WILL KILL YOU!"
"But Hitsugaya-chan your so soft~!"
"Kaien-Dono, Toshiro is being mean to me!"
"Kaien-Dono? Since when do you call me that?"
"SHUT UP!" Renji yelled making everyone stop in there tracks. Everyone head was turned towards the shouting red head.
"Party pooper..." We all said dark auras being shown around us.
Renji sighed. "Come on, it time to get home, the police will come with all the racket you guys are making." he said putting the bag over his shoulder and turning his back towards us. "So stop your crappering." he said walking off.
We all looked toward each other. "Whats his problem?" Kaien asked.
"See Toshiro this is your fault! You're such a shit head!" I said sticking out my tongue at the snowy haired boy.
"Why is it my fault?" He countered struggling against the big bust woman that was still hugging him preventing him from possibly strangling me. "Let go Rangiku!"
"But you hair is so bushy~!" she complained.
Kaien just sighed knowing he wasn't going to get a reasonable answer.
A few minutes later:
After everyone had stopped arguing and after people stopped staring at us like we were idiots, it was only Toshiro, Kaien and me sitting on the floor, right outside of the school.
"So..." I started laying on my back and looking up towards the blue sky. "It's been a long day hasn't it?" I asked the two boys next to me. Two options dwelt in my head. One: tell Toshiro and Kaien about Shirayuki. Two: Forget about the whole thing and go back home like nothing happened. I didn't know what to do, so I did both.
"Ya..." I heard the snowy heard boy answer softly.
Kaien got up. "Ne, Rukia." He said getting my attention and making me sit up to get a better look at the black haired man. "You don't have a ride right?" he asked a smirk appearing on her face.
I could feel Toshiro tense up, squirming in his spot.
"Ya I don't." I answered honestly.
Kaien realised him smirk and his huge grin appeared. "Great, I could drop you off!" He said grabbing my wrist forcing me up in a standing position. "Wait right here!" he said running off.
"Where else do I have to go?" I asked myself jokingly.
In a few minutes Kaien came up to the drive way, riding on a Ninja motorcycle. I gawking smile appeared on my face when her stopped in front of my taking off his helmet. "Gosh, a truck and a motorcycle! I need to get a job were you work!" I said admiring the vehical.
Toshiro got up in shock.
Kaien scratched his head sheepishly. "Well my family is kinda rich..." He said muttering off.
I smirked. "And you bash on me for being rich," I said putting my hands on my hips and smiling at the teen.
Kaien pat the seat behind him. "Hop on, I will drive you home." He said his big grin appearing again.
I smiled getting on the back of the motorcycle putting on the helmet Kaien gave me.
Toshiro stared in disbelief. "Hey wait!" he said. "Rukia are you stupid? You cant get on that!" he said panicking.
Kaien smirked towards Toshiro making him angry. "Oh relax peso*." He said putting his helmet on and starting his motorcycle, putting his feet below making it more balanced.
I waved and Toshiro, laughing mentaly and Kaiens words. "Bye Snowflake!" I said.
"Hold on tight." Kaien said zooming off.
Toshiro just stood there angry cursing Kaien mentaly. "Stupid leech!" he cursed.
When Kaien was on the streets I noticed he wasnt taking the route to my house. "Hey, Kaien, where are we going?" I asked trying to talk over the noise coming from the motorcycle and the wind blowing.
"To grab a bite!" He said also trying to talk over the noise. "Aren't you hungry?" He asked.
I nodded. "Ya, I guess." I said.
Kaien was able to take us to the nearest place to eat, and it happened to be DairyQueen.
Ice cream.
Yay.
When we got off, Kaien told me to grab a seat, saying that he would order for us.
"Thanks," I said nodding and walking away looking for an empty booth. When I finally picked one I sat down. The booth was right next to a window, and I sat there staring out, watching the cars pass by.
"Well it's not McDonalds, but I still find their Ice cream a bit better." Kaien's voice said as he sat down with two chocolate dipped cones in his hand.
I got one smiling. "This isnt food, it junk." I said.
"Oh! Um... Well I can-"
"But, I didn't say I didn't like it." I said smiling at the panicked man. I bit the top part of the cone letting the Icecream melt in my mouth. Kaien smiled back, but I noticed he wasnt looking at me, he was lookin out the window.
"I will be right back ok?" he asked getting up and walking out into the restrooms.
"Hurry, your icecream will be lost in my stomach." I said jokingly.
I heard him chuckle, and coninuded to stare out at the window, admiring the forming clouds.
Outside:
No POV:
Kaien was able to climb out a small widow that was in the bathroom, and he was outside waiting for his visitor to show himself. "Ok, you can come out peso." he said waiting for the person to show himself.
Toshiro came out, his hands clenched in fist and his eyebrow twitching every once in a while. "What's your problem leech?" he asked walking up to Kaien.
"What do you mean?" Kaien asked shrugging.
Twitch.
"You know that thing is dangerous for Rukia yet you do it anyway!" Toshiro shouted grabbing Kaien shirt.
"Hey, peso, why are you so worrierd, I am not going to hurt Rukia ok?" Kaien said, brushing of Toshiro's hand. "I know you hate me, and I hate you too, but I aint going to hurt Rukia." he said.
Toshiro tensed. "Dont give me that crap, if I have learned anything, I know not to trust a leech like you!" he said.
And by the time the two started argueing, they were wrestling, pinning each other down on the floor, trying to hurt the other.
Inside:
Rukia's POV:
I was still looking out the window, and every once in a while I would here strange noiseing coming from out side. At first I would ignore the sounds but after a while I couldnt take it.
I got up angerly, stompping out the door ready to beat the crap out of whatever it was.
"Shut the hell up!" I shouted.
Thats when I saw Kaien and Toshiro pinning each other down on the cement. Too me, I had no words to describe what I was feeling.
...
"OH GAWD MY EYES HAVE BEEN RAPED!" I shouted covering my eyes and turning around not really knowing what else to do.
Toshiro and Kaien looked at me then back at each other getting off one another and crossing their arm simutaniously. "Oh look what you did now!" Toshiro started.
Kaien growled. "You started it peso! It's not my fault Rukia thinks we're gay!" Kaien shouted back raising a fist.
Toshiro laughed fakely. "Ha! She doesnt thinks we're gay! Right Rukia?" Toshiro asked.
I said nothing my back still towards the guys. "..."
Toshiro scratched his head annoyed. "Come on Rukia!" I said. "You know I am not gay!"
Kaien sighed. "Thanks a lot peso! You had to ruin it!" Kaien complained.
I turned around hiding my blush. "OK..." I started getting the boys attention. "How about we forget about the whole thing and lived like it never happened, does that sound good?" I asked taking my courage and looking at the boys.
They both tought for a moment and noddedd. "Fine." they said agreeing.
I got up, sighing. "Well thats enough for one day. I am going home." I said grabbing my bag and swinging over my shoulder.
The boys scrambled up. "Want me to take you?" Kaien asked.
I turned around glaring. "Let me refrase that: I and walking home." I said turning back around and walking to where ever my house was.
Home:
Rukia's POV:
When I finally got home I collapsed on the couch, dropping my bag to the floor and sighing. "What a long day..." I muttered to myself.
"Well you should get some rest dear..." Shirayuki's voice said as she came out of the hallway. "Tomarrows another day." she said.
I sighed getting up and walking towards my room. "Good night Shirayuki..." I moaned. When I got to my bed I collapsed again, this time though, I didnt even have time to think, I just drifted off to sleep.
I am a bit late sorry.
Well how was it? Please comment and review.
