Chapter 25-One Part of the Story of truth, I Never Knew?

"Byakuya, you jerk!"

You idiot! You're reopening your wounds!

Yeah! You know how many freaking hours it took me to actually some close to them?

The young Yamamoto ran with the energy she had at the moment, her zanpaktou annoyingly scolding her as she ran.

I'm not going to let him just leave the discussion just like that!

She stopped as her foot hit the ground once more, gritting her teeth as red blood slowly started to seep through her bandages, the red blood she was lacking.

Oh, you've really done it know, dumbass!

Please! She overdid it the second she blasted that hole through the fourth squad barracks!

Meanwhile…

The Captains of squad eight, nine, ten, and thirteen let out a big sigh that they held up until then. They stared expressionless at the big hole that was in Hitomi's room. They would have been lying if they said they hadn't seen something like this coming. The second the alarm went off and they were called for an emergency at the fourth squad barracks that required their assistance, their minds instantly thought of a certain blue eyed Yamamoto. After all, her high tolerance of being able to cope with her so called 'few scratches'.

"This is something we really shouldn't get used to…" The sickly white haired captain stated as his sweat dropped.

"Agreed" They agreed as Hitsuguya taicho breathed tiredly-

"Shouldn't we go looking for her?"

"Sure, if you want to go up against that" The squad eight Taicho pointed at a wave of Hitomi's spiritual pressure preventing anyone from coming after her.

They groaned.

"Come on…just a little further…" Hitomi silently told herself as she took one weak step after another.

Hey…Hitomi?

Yeah?

Do you even know where you're going?

Nope.

Wow…dumbass.

I don't really know where he is, but he must be in the Kuchiki manor… am I close?

"Yamamoto-san?" she turned around to see a white haired old man dressed like a Kuchiki elder.

"K-Kuchiki-sama!"

He looked at Hitomi from head to toe, realizing the situation as he remembered a similar one back when she was young.

Yup.

"K-Kuchiki-sama!"

The Kuchiki clan leader turned a corner as he awaited his meeting with his grandfather, contemplating things in his mind.

It has been YEARS, master. I think it's about time you've made up your mind.

You have been so talkative lately, Senbonzakura.

I only speak the truth, master.

"K-Kuchiki-sama!" his attention diverted to the sudden call. He looked at the bleeding Hitomi as his grandfather helped her into the Kuchiki manor. His breathing stopped as soon as he realized that blood started to slowly seep through her bandages and her wounds reopened. As he was about to flash step to her side, a voice stopped him.

Wait!

What is it, she needs my aid.

Kuchiki-sama can take care of it… I'm curious to see what business she has here…

Excuse me? Senbonzakura, do you expect me to simply stand back while the woman I love is close to dying? Again?

Of course not, but we both know and acknowledge her high tolerance, especially when she's mad, and I am very sure that she's not happy with the little mystery you left her this afternoon. That strain will only lead to her demise, as well as yours.

No matter how much he hated to admit it, his zanpaktou was right.

Yup, I'm right. We should just follow them and wait until she's calmed down.

I don't think I'll stoop so low as to following them.

Do you have a choice?

He bit his lip as he thought of what his next action should be. He looked back at where the two people were making their way into the manor. He let a sigh escape his mouth before he followed the two.

. . .

I watched intently as the Kuchiki's personal replaced my bandages.

"Well, I'm afraid that's all i can do for now, Yamamoto-sama"

"Thank you" I thanked him as he bowed and left the room. I sigh and laid back spread out on Byakuya's bed. I closed my eyes and re-thought about what Hisana would've done. I honestly had no idea what to do from this point, but i needed to now some answers...As i was close to drifting away into my thoughts, i felt a wrinkly and thin object beneath the blankets. i opened one eye and sat up reaching in the sheets. It was a torn piece of paper with some writing that looked quiet like...

My eyes widened as i shot up and read the text.

These past few weeks with Byakuya-sama had been amazing. I really feel safe and at home with him and his household. I'm really thankful for Hitomi-san to introduce us to each other. I'm grateful for all the both of them had done for me.

But...It might have been just me, I'm not sure, but i feel like when he's around Hitomi-san, he feels more... I don't know, filled with a sense of joy i might not even understand...Sometimes I've gotten the sense that he loves Hitomi-san instead of me. the way he looks at me...it's like he's looking at her instead...Another thing I've felt, Am I...Replacing Hitomi-san?

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. these words sound like what would come out of Hisana's mouth...

was Hisana...Having the same thoughts I was?

I folded the piece of paper and tucked it into the folds of my Yukuta before leaving the room to confirm this diary entry.

...

"President, I think I heard the door close"

"Shhh, Nanao-chan, we might get caught"

"Oi,OI! Matsumoto, why'd you drag me here again?"

"SHHHHH, Taicho, I think I heard her find the diary entry"

"You did put it in the right place, right President?"

"Yup, uuhhhmm, i think I did...Where did i put it again?"

"I honestly don't care anymore, I told Shunsui-taicho that id be gone for a minute then to come back to help him fight that monster spiritual pressure!"

"That could be dealt with later, this needs to be done now"

"Yah, Shiro-Shiro, I'll give you candy if you just wait a little"

"..."

"Do you HEAR yourselve's, lieutenants?"

"With that voice, you could hear anything" Jushiro said sweat dropping as he heard the squad 8, 11, 10, lieutenant and squad 10 captain bicker.

. . .

"Thank you for helping me, Kuchiki-sama"

Hitomi bowed before she sat down to join the Kuchiki elder for tea.

"I had my personal doctors add some herbs and medicine to your tea. It should do for now"

"Thank you, I really appreciate this" Hitomi spun the delicate tea cup as she looked at the tea swirl inside.

"May I ask why you risked more blood to make your way here?"

"Kuchiki-sama… I know this will sound personal, but do you think, that with Byakuya's confession…"

"Yes?"

"If I felt the same, would I be replacing Hisana?" there was a momentary silence, the chirping birds being the noise that broke the silence. The Kuchiki elder chuckled, as it grew louder and louder into a laughter. The blue eyed Yamamoto's face reddened.

"W-What's so funny?"

The elder placed his tea cup down on the table as he calmed himself down.

"Well, I'd say that Hisana replaced you back then"

"That's what Byakuya said, but he didn't really explain anything… do you, by any chance, know-

"Hitomi-san, do I know? I've memorized the day young Byakuya broke down completely in one day"

"…Excuse me?"

"When you were young, Byakuya had loved you already with every bit of his being, but the day you introduced him to Hisana made it clear you didn't feel the same. He locked himself in his room for about a week. He then decided to treasure Hisana instead. He actually saw her as a woman who you wanted him to treasure more than you. That story can go on and on, events followed one another and now you're here… How can you not know this story? Back then this was the story that would attract a crowd" he spoke like an old geezer.

Hitomi's eyes widened slightly.

How couldn't I notice…?

Ginrei's eyes noticed the paper of tin the folds of her yukuta.

"I see, you read that"

"..yes"

"...I think there's another half to that...but only Byakuya-san has that. It's the only chance you have of finding the second part to your answers to be able to understand everything"

I can't believe my grandfather told her about that, it took me years to keep her from hearing about that… I made everyone in the Kuchiki household promise not to say a word about that day!

Ahh, that rage sounds just like how you were when you were young master

Now is not the time, Senbonzakura, I can't see how she's reacting to this…

He watched as she stood from her seat and disappeared into thin air. The Kuchiki elder looked to the side.

"You can come out now"

Ginrei Kuchiki said as he took another sip of tea. Byakuya stepped out from behind his hiding spot and released his spiritual pressure.

"You were aware of my presence?"

The elder sighed. "I've known you since you were born, of course I did… and you got kind of shaky when I told her about the story, I'm sure she knew too"

Damn…

Wow, welcome back young master…

"So, what have you called me for?"

"Grandfather, I want to be able to ask for Hitomi's hand in marriage"

XD ahaha, boy did I make the tension… ahem... wow, another cliffhanger, I JUST noticed that…I'm serious XD yahh… nah, I knew, but this a WHOLE beginning to what's about to happen, and for it to happen, I needed this very cliffhanger, so I hope you liked it, I know that there wasn't so much in this BUT I promise to make something interesting of it in the next couple chapters. Oh, and the little bicker was just to let you know that a certain group of shinigami caused this...again :P Thoughts, opinions, ideas wanted. No flames please :D
