Aright guys, sorry for the super long absence. My computer's internet wasn't working and I was hoping to get a laptop soon but that didn't work out. So today I just turned on my computer and whaddaya know, my internet was working. Not sure how long this will last but lets hope it lasts a very long time. Thank you for reading and please enjoy! :D
Hisana's eyes fluttered open from the bright rays of sunshine that gleamed onto her face. She yawned a bit before rubbing her eyes and stretching her arms out wide.
Slowly she moved her body to sit up and her huge orbs scanned the room carefully then finally rested on the neatly made spot next to her.
She then exhaled deeply and felt her forehead. It was at its normal temperature, the heat had gone down and she was finally feeling better.
The medicine had worked wonders and she felt a lot healthier but she had been feeling this way days ago but a certain someone wasn't so sure…….
No matter how many times she tried to tell him she was feeling better he never fully believed her. She decided this was normal because she did lie to him in the first place and it was only natural that he would be more cautious.
Even with that in mind Hisana still couldn't take his overprotective actions anymore. He had taken her to daily checkups and had her eating healthy all the time, which wasn't really such a bad thing except when she had a small sweet tooth.
He even made sure she got the exact amount of sleep that she needed and that she took all of her vitamins which were a few pills everyday.
Sighing Hisana got out of bed. She carefully folded her sheets so that they matched her husbands and began to get ready for the day.
Hisana fiddled with a lock of hair in-between her fingers as she slowly treaded down the cobblestone path in the kuchiki gardens.
There was a nice breeze out and it relaxed her whole body. The feeling of the cool wind on her skin was unbelievably refreshing and was a quick cure to her newly acquired cabin fever.
She decided to settle on a bench that was near the pond of koi. She could hear the gentle splashes in the water and the small chirps of the birds along with all of the other outdoor sounds.
She closed her eyes for a few moments, resting them and letting her body sink into what had to be the calmest feeling she had.
"Lady Kuchiki!" a voice called out from the distance interrupting Hisana's rest with a start.
She opened her eyes to see one of the maids coming towards her practically running to where she was.
Hisana got up and watched as the maid came in front of her and caught her breath.
"L-Lady Kuchiki we must go inside" she said in-between breaths while bowing.
"Why so?" Hisana asked while turning her gaze over to the beautiful sight of the setting sun.
"It is a bit chilly out here and lord Kuchiki would be angered if you caught a cold" the maid answered.
"It's a beautiful sunset isn't it?" Hisana said dreamily as she continued to gaze at the amazing colors that lit up the horizon.
"Why yes it is lady Kuchiki but we must get going" the maid almost panicked.
Hisana turned back to the woman in front of her and replied "Did my husband tell you to make sure I didn't come outside"
"Well lord Kuchiki told me to make sure you didn't go outside if the weather is dangerous to your health and to make sure you took all of your medicine" she responded.
"Well as you can see the weather poses no threat" Hisana said softly while twirling once as another cool breeze went by.
"Lord Kuchiki told me to take no chances so please will you come inside?" the maid begged as she watched her lady take in a deep breath of the fresh air.
"Alright" Hisana said trying to hide her disappointment. She knew that if she didn't go inside the maid would have to face the consequences and she didn't want that, but it was such a gorgeous day outside and she wasn't sure if she could take another minute inside.
Byakuya entered his room after he got off of work. He scanned the room with his gray orbs before entering the room.
He was very concerned that he didn't see his wife around and slightly frightened that he may find her in the way that she was in a few weeks ago.
"Hello Byakuya-sama" Hisana said from the kitchen as her husband came into her view.
He turned and saw his wife sitting silently at the table with two cups of tea sitting near her.
He sat down across from her at the table as she passed him his cup of tea. When she did he caught her hand while it was moving away and gently caressed it with his thumb.
"How are you feeling?" he asked. Her hand had no trace of extreme heat or extreme coldness in it, it felt fine but he still wasn't so sure.
After the events that had happened a few weeks ago he couldn't get his nightmare out of his head. It kept reminding him that if he wasn't careful she could die, plus the actual event of her getting sick wasn't helping it at all.
He had to make sure she was one hundred percent healthy no matter what the cost.
"I feel absolutely fine" Hisana assured him as she gently slipped her hand from his grasp and wrapped it around her cup to take a sip of tea.
He studied her for a few moments trying to see if she was lying, if there was any trace of doubt in her voice or anything that could tell him that she wasn't feeling well.
After a few silent moments he pulled a small bottle from his robes and placed it on the table.
"What might that be?" Hisana questioned as she examined the tiny clear bottle that had a red liquid in it.
"Your new medicine, this will help your body's defenses" he stated as he opened the bottle and poured some of the liquid on a small spoon.
"Don't you think I have enough medicine?" Hisana said quietly as she watched the red liquid flow into the spoon.
He stopped pouring and raised a brow at her comment. "Hisana, you will have enough medicine when your defenses are where they need to be".
Hisana shifted uncomfortably in her seat and moved her gaze from the spoon over to the table with all of her pills on it.
When she had returned from the garden she had taken every single last one of them and she hated taking all of those vitamins and extra precautions when she knew she felt well.
"I really think the pills are enough…..besides I feel fine" She said meekly as she slowly moved her gaze from the table back to her husbands eyes.
"Hisana I realize that you do not like taking all of your medication but you must realize that it is indeed for your own safety" he replied while moving the spoon over to her mouth.
Hisana reluctantly parted her lips and let the liquid enter her mouth. It tasted disgusting but she quickly swallowed it and kept her face from showing just how repulsive it was.
"Are you sure it is for my safety or your reassurance?" Hisana said softly as she gazed deeply into her husband's eyes.
"What are you inferring?" he responded while raising his eyebrow once again.
"Well……I just feel that you know I am okay but you insist on making me take this because well……your, ummm…..scared" Hisana whispered hoping this didn't anger him.
She wasn't angry that he was concerned or anything but she needed to let him know that all of this medication is just too much.
"Hisana I assure you that this is all solely for you, I am not frightened just concerned" he said his voice gaining a small edge to it.
"Okay well…..I really don't need all of this medicine and I think concerned is just a word to cover up something else" Hisana said lightly trying not to make him angry but she needed to let him know.
"You need the medication because you are constantly putting yourself at risk, today in the garden for example" he stated his voice returning to its calm state.
He was trying his best not to argue with his wife but the way it was going he wasn't so sure if it could be avoided.
"It wasn't really cold out, just a relaxing breeze…..and I find it…well a little much to have a maid care for me" Hisana said back.
"I must have someone to care for you since you are incapable of caring for yourself" he said with a little ice in his voice.
He soon regretted what he said and sighed. He didn't want it to go this way, he just wanted his wife to be healthy but instead he made it worse by making her saddened.
Hisana's eyes dimmed and her face saddened at his words.
"Hisana……I must apologize for I spoke out of line…..I understand your feelings but this is for your health" he said softly as he moved from his spot at the table so he could sit next to her.
"If you understand then why cant you see what you're doing is making it worse?" she said in a hushed tone.
"You are being……over protective of me" Hisana added after concluding that it was the right word to use.
He thought about this for a few moments. He didn't think his actions were being over protective but if Hisana thought that he was smothering her than he knew he had to change what he was doing.
Then he began to think some more. The wheels in his head turned and turned, why didn't he believe her when she said she was okay? All of the signs were there, no fever, no cold, nothing but he still insisted on her taking medicine.
Maybe Hisana was right, maybe he was just scared…..scared of losing her so he had to over protect her.
"Hisana, I must apologize once more for my actions……It seems as though you are correct, I have been over protective of you" he said softly.
Hisana turned to him and moved her small arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder.
"It's only because you care for me so much" she murmured sweetly to him.
"I do believe that I fear for you, I do not want your health to be life threatening" he whispered in an almost pained voice.
"That nightmare has you all wrapped up…..Touch me Byakuya-sama" Hisana gently purred to him.
She could feel his body stiffen at her words as he hesitated to move his hands around her waist.
Slowly but surely he moved his arms around her small frame and began to soothingly rub her back.
"See, I'm not dead, I'm still here and that means I am healthy….that means there is a heart beating within my chest and that it is yours, nothing as trivial as a cold will stop this heart within my chest and you must realize this" she continued to soothe him with her words.
"All of those pills and medicine bottles are unnecessary because I am here right now and I am healthy" she finished.
"You are right Hisana…….there is no need for all of those pills and medicine…thank you for clearing my mind" he said back to her as he pulled her in tighter.
Hisana smiled and let herself sink into the embrace. She was happy she could get him out of his overprotective stage and she was grateful he was so understanding.
Nothing would come in-between them, especially nothing like a simple illness.
Hope you liked it :D oh and all of the medication was mostly vitamins and stuff not like stuff you have to take when you really are sick because that would mean it is a drug lol anywho, cred for this chapter goes to ScarletLeaves. Only 64 more to go!
