It was an early and bright morning. The birds sang happily as they flew around the Kuchiki gardens and spread there joyous song to wake any of the residents in the manor.
The bright sunlight shown through the windows and illuminated the massive room creating pools of sunlight cascading all around the room shining off of anything that was brightly colored.
The sun especially shown on the mountain of white blankets that wrapped the couple in a cocoon of soft and huge comfort.
The morning rays of the sun woke Hisana softly. Her eyes fluttered open as she scanned the room with them.
The room had a nice comforting feeling to it and looked especially bright that morning. Her eyes eventually landed on the man that was lying next to her.
Of course he was sleeping soundly. Hisana slowly moved her body in the blankets so that her head was resting on his chest.
She closed her eyes and listened to his strong steady heartbeat. She snaked her arms around his waist and snuggled closer to him.
She soon felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and a kiss being placed on her forehead.
"Good morning Byakuya-sama" Hisana murmured softly into his chest. Her eyes were still closed; she was still listening intently to his heart beating normally inside of him.
"Good morning Hisana" he whispered to her, his breath tickled her hair as she slowly opened her eyes to gaze up at him.
"Hisana we must get ready to prepare for the day" he said softly to her as he began to climb out of the mountain of blankets.
Hisana kept a firm grip on him and held him back in the bed. "Byauya-sama you have no work today…..wont you stay in bed a little longer?" Hisana asked longingly.
Byakuya gazed back at his wife wife. He studied her expression; there was something in her eyes that told him she really wanted him to stay.
He moved back into the bed and pulled the blanket over them wrapping them once more in a secure and comfortable sea of blankets.
Hisana smiled as she then rested her head on her husbands shoulder and pulled the sheets so it was up to her chin.
She moved her feet in the sea and tangled them with her husbands. She really enjoyed the days he had no work.
She didn't have to wait hours and hours for him to come home and be with her, he could stay with her and just enjoy each others company like husband and wife were suppose to.
"It is a very beautiful morning" Hisana said as her light voice broke the long silence.
"It is indeed a beautiful morning" he replied while gazing out the window. He could see the garden right outside, the cherry blossoms floated gracefully through the air creating a scene that one would think to be only seen in movies.
"I wish you had more days off….I like staying like this" Hisana admitted while placing a chaste kiss on his neck.
Byakuya sighed while he continued to gaze out the window. It was true; his work did indeed take away from the time he could have been spending with his wife.
Of course he would rather spend those long hours of most of the day in Hisana's arms but sadly he couldn't. He knew that it made Hisana sad that she couldn't see him as much especially when he was on long missions at the human world but he couldn't help it.
"I must apologize Hisana" he said softly to her while turning his gaze to the woman next to him. His eyes settled on her beautiful face. His eyes scanned every deep feature that she had from her rosy cheeks to her big but full of life eyes and her small pink lips that were curved into a small smile.
"Why are you apologizing Byakuya-sama?" Hisana asked curiously while placing her hand on his chest.
"I have not been around as much as I would have liked to" he explained as he took her hand from his chest and placed it on hers.
She soon knew what he was talking about. She didn't really want to get into it because she didn't want to worry or make him feel bad but right now she couldn't help but pour those emotions out.
It was very true that she had been feeling very lonely lately. She missed Byakuya, she wanted to be around him but she couldn't, he always had some mission or meeting to attend.
She felt her own heartbeat slowly as she hung her head down low. She let her hair fall into her face as she tightened the grip on her clothing covering the beating organ in her chest.
"I…..I missed my husband…..there were so many times I wanted you to stay but I knew you couldn't……there is nothing to be sorry about, it's your job as a shinigami" Hisana responded softly. She could feel her voice begin to crack as she spoke.
She was holding back tears that were threatening to spill out, she didn't want to cry but she couldn't help but show her sadness in her voice.
Byakuya was silent for a few moments as he watched his wife choke out those words that she must have been holding in for a long time.
He hated seeing his wife caressed with sorrow or any type of horrible emotion. It angered him that he was the one that caused it.
"I also have a job as your husband" he reminded her as he tightened his grip on her hand that was still pressed against her chest.
"That doesn't matter as much, you had a duty as a shinigami before you met me….so it comes first" Hisana said a little louder as she slowly raised her head and settled her vision on her husband.
"Hisana…..you will always come first….I hate to see your face stained with these painful emotions" he told her while releasing her hand from his.
"Please….don't feel bad because I am the one who cannot handle this, I need for my heart to grow stronger" she whispered as she placed her own hand over her heart once more.
"Hisana, I feel ashamed that I make you feel this way" he admitted as he then adverted his gaze back over to the window.
"You have a strong heart Hisana, you bear more than I could every carry….it is simply that I seem to be breaking your heart" he said slowly trying to hold back the pain he felt because of this in his voice.
Her heart did feel heavy but she didn't want him to think he was breaking it, he had done so much for her that she couldn't let him think that.
"Please don't- Hisana began but was interrupted by her husband's words.
"Hisana, I have not been a very good husband have I" he said while still staring out the window.
What good husband would cause his wife pain? It seemed as though he had been spending more and more time away from her and it was breaking her fragile heart.
"Byakuya-sama you have been a wonderful husband" Hisana quickly responded.
It was true that she had been feeling saddened lately by her husbands long absences but she didn't want him to think he wasn't a good husband because of it.
"If I were such a thing then you would not be saddened….I feel as though I cause you more pain then happiness" he said softly while still looking out the window, watching the blossoms fall peacefully.
Hisana moved her hands to each side of her husbands face and turned them towards her, she stared directly into his gray eyes, and she had never seen them so saddened. It must have hurt him so much to see her laced with sorrow.
"Byakuya-sama, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me" Hisana said as a smile tugged on her lips.
"You cause me so much joy, and there cannot be joy without pain….so it is natural" she explained while using her thumbs to caress his face.
He turned his face slightly away from her and let his gaze drop from her to the pure white sheets that covered them both.
He raised his hand to her hands and removed them from his face; he held them in his hands and rubbed them softly.
"Hisana….you have given me more than you will ever know….I wish that I could repay you" he said now lifting his gaze to meet hers.
They both stared into the others eyes for a while, talking without words, understanding the others feelings with only contact of the eyes.
"Byakuya-sama you have already repaid me" Hisana said quietly. She then wrapped her small hands around his.
"I just wish to see you more….that is all, you do not cause me pain but so much happiness I cannot explain it" Hisana continued as her eyes began to water and small tears began to fall from her eyes.
He moved his hand from hers to wipe the tears that had fallen down her cheeks. He slowly moved his thumb to carefully wipe any type of sadness that had fallen to his wife's face.
"Let us spend as much time together that we can" Byakuya said to her as his lip slightly curved indicating a small smile.
Hisana nodded as she wrapped her small arms around his neck and gently pulled him down onto the bed with her.
He moved his arms to her waist and pulled her closer to him, pressing her body against his.
He closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. His warm breath tickled Hisana's nose as she released one arm from his neck to pull up the blanket so it covered the both of them.
"Don't you wish that we could live like those cherry blossoms outside, without a care in the world, just floating wherever the wind takes us" Hisana said.
"All the time" he responded his eyes still closed as he pulled her closer and rested his head on her shoulder and breathed deeply into her neck taking in her wonderful smell.
Hisana closed her eyes as well as she exhaled deeply, she loved being like this with her husband with no one to bother them, she could just melt away with him.
He had no idea how long they stayed like that, it could have been hours but he didn't mind it. As long as his wife was happy he was happy.
He knew he wanted to spend all the time in the world with her if he could but some things just got in the way. But nothing got in the way of them being together now, floating endlessly in a sea of blankets with each other.
That chapter was a little short compared to the others wasn't it. Anywho, I hoped you guys liked it :D only 71 more to go!
