I OWN A BYAKUYA PLUSHIE! ...But not Bleach.


Byakuya stared at the little girl, sitting in the middle of a pile of paper. The girl didn't seem to notice him, reaching with chubby fingers towards another crayon.

"Suzu, did you do this?"

"I drew kaasan n' tousan!" She held up a sheet of paper with two bunny-like figures holding hands.

"You're an artist, Suzu," he said, a smile usually reserved for Hisana on his face as his daughter giggled, pulling on his kenseikan.

Hisana smiled from her hiding place, watching dignified Byakuya bounce a little girl up and down.

Suzu's drawing ended up framed on their bedroom wall.


So...not quite as much ByaSana fluff this time, but a bit of fatherly love to make up for it :). BTW, kaasan and tousan are abbreviated forms of okaasan and otousan, the Japanese words for "mom" and "dad," respectively.

And goodness gracious guys, 132 reviews? I don't deserve you...

Thanks, thanks and THANKS to Girls in White Dresses, Katsumi Hatake, Eden Hunter, RukiaGallega, nemo, Byakurai Arashi, CrossroadsofLife and Keiko the Bleach Freak. Now...maybe I could have some more reviews for my birthday present? (Yay for being a New Year's baby!)

Happy 2012 to all my readers! I wish you happiness and good fortune in the new year!
