Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of this story. However the plot is mine.
Well, this title should rock your brain a little:] anyway, this fiction is dedicated to all those fans who wished that Byakuaya and Hisana had children :}
*****
He was lost...
Those words seem to bite into his soul every time he remembered what she had said,
"Byakuya, she is still your wife. Even if she is in this complicating situation..." Unohana had said after he had left the room to get a lot of fresh air.
He sat up in bed looking at the picture he had taken so many years, preferably decades, to the one lying beside him on her back. This Hisana in his hand compared to the one laying beside him were the same, except for the fact that she had been touched by some body else and was now lying in bed totally amnesic and heavily pregnant.
He had to get up, the thought of somebody else touching his Hisana drove him out of his mind and he felt like doing horrible things, such as killing those babies and moving on with his life, with her safely by his side.
Moving to the window, he opened it and sat on its ledge looking at her form carefully,
'She wanted those children' he thought, the way she protectively stroke the bulge in her sleep showed that she cared for them deeply. 'Them', that pronoun was also driving him insane, if it was one, then maybe he could live with her and some other man's child for the rest of his life, but no, fate have finally decided his punishment for all his proud and rational behaviour he had done in the past.
But, he had apologized to Rukia and even that boy, so why should he be given this punishment for his folly. He couldn't help but bang his fist on the wall. An unfortunately, a few minutes later, he heard a low moan coming from his bed.
"Hisana" he muttered softly before moving from the ledge to sit by her side. Her eyes were closed and he had thought the banging hadn't affected her, but as he got up to move a hand grabbed hold of his yukata and he turned around slowly to see her looking at him through soft blue eyes and knew right there he wouldn't leave her, even if this situation was about to drive him nuts.
She looked him over slowly before saying,
"Byakuya-sama, you look horrible, have you ate anything since night..." she continued while looking at his obviously stressed form, his hair looked like it hadn't been combed for a week and his eyes were red and swollen. She gently began to push herself into a sitting position before he stopped her.
"Hisana, please get some sleep, I'll make sure to look my best in the morrows"
She narrowed her eyes slowly before nodding her head and lying back on the pillow, and later fell a sleep a few minutes after. He watched as she relax again and place her hand on her bulge.
Exhaling loudly, he gently laid his tired body beside her, wondering what the elders would think this time of his disobedience, unfortunately trice.

"This is utterly preposterous!" the eldest of the elders shouted and at the same time banged his hand against the table. The other elders muttered and nodded in agreement.
"First, you marry her..." an elder began. Defiance number one, he noted drily.
"Second, you adopt her sister into this noble family and..." a female started again before fixing her glasses firmly on her face. Insolence, number two is revealed and he mentally rolled his eyes.
"And now you want to be as bold as you were in the past and take her children that did not come from your sperm, are you out of your mind milord!" the eldest shouted.
He simply raised his hand to silence him before stating,
"She is going to remain here-"
"How is it going to look on the clan milord when everyone finds out that you took this girl off the street, pregnant, and willingly accepts her children?" an elderly woman pleaded,
"How will you feel when you see her children having no resemblance of you?" another female elder pleaded.
"She probably even caught some disease from her rutting with those men of Rukongai" a male elder had the audacity to say.
"Who the hell said that?" Byakuya replied in a very low and dangerous tone. The elder raised his hand slowly and Byakuya commanded flatly,
"Get out of my house"
The elder totally flabbergasted tried to dissuade his master,
"But milord-"
"I said get out!" he shouted while removing Senbonzakura from its sheath. The elder hurriedly left the room and was on his way off the grounds.
"Now, does anyone wishes to say something?"
Silence...
"Not even a vowel?" as he raised an arched brow to them.
Deafening silence...
"Well then, the problem has been resolved for this is what will happen. Hisana will remain on the castle grounds and it is imperative that she'll be given the utmost respect and attention now and after her pregnancy. End of discussion" he stated firmly before storming out of the room and slamming the door behind him.
"How this could have happened, the medication was supposed to prevent her soul from being reincarnated!" A furious elder shouted a couple minutes later.
"We'll just give it to her it again" another elder stated lamely, "Then she could go back to her death bed and maybe he would learn his lesson that we'll not have a woman like that in our house"
"Indeed, I will order the same maid to place it in her drink this afternoon" the next elder said as he removed the green phial from his pocket and looked at it admiringly. The other elders smiled at the recognition of the bottle and was snickering softly not noticing that their victim had heard everything and had removed herself from the window.

"Lady Hisana, how do you wish your hair to be done today?" Suki enquired while looking at Hisana's doleful eyes through the mirror.
"Whatever you desire Suki" Hisana replied flatly while turning to look at the gardens. Frowning and nodding her head, Suki began brushing her ebony tresses to one side.
"Do you intend to wear it short again, my lady?" Suki enquired a few minutes later, trying to break the deafening silence that was very much getting to her head.
"Probably" she replied still staring at the window.
Frustrated and miserable, Suki turned Hisana's head slowly to face the mirror,
"Hisana-san, this is definitely not your day, what is wrong?" she pleaded as she watched her mistress wipe a tear from her face,
"Suki, have I done anything wrong to my husband since I came yesterday, because my husband is rejecting my affections and I am in a very delicate situation and cannot cope with these problems now" she replied softly as the tears began flowing from her face.
"Hisana-san..." she started while patting her shoulders gently, "Maybe it is the babies you are carrying" she continued as she tied the hair to one side with a black band.
"But they're his Suki, so what is the problem, I look ugly or am I too fat?" she enquired while looking at her self through the mirror.
"The ugly part is definitely not the problem and how do you know the babies are his?" she enquired with a incredulous tone to her voice.
Hisana shook her head forcefully, successfully removing Suki's hand from her hair,
"What do you mean if I know if they are his" she replied very angrily.
"Well..., to begin with, pregnancies only last for a short period and it is impossible he got you pregnant-"
"Frisoki Saya, I am sitting here in front of you having a conversation, right?" she enquired while twirling a loose strand.
"Yes my lady, indeed you are" she stuttered out nervously,
"Well Saya, if I can sit here and have a conversation with you, then why can't I be pregnant for my husband?"
"Well putting it that way-"
"Thank you Saya" Hisana interrupted again, "Do you perhaps have a phial on you right now?" she continued while slowly getting up from the chair and allowing Saya to put on her blue kimono and pearly white obi.
"Yes my lady, the elders have insisted that you get this tonic, an appreciation of your pregnancy" she replied while adjusting the obi to fit Hisana's frame.
"Hand it to me" she commanded. Nodding, Saya took the phial from out of her inner kimono and gave Hisana the bottle.
"Saya, can you please tell Elnod to inform Lord Kuchiki that I have left the premises" she stated as she walked to the door.
"Where to, and what is wrong with the phial because I have already placed it in your tea for lunch" she replied.
Smiling brightly, Hisana commanded,
"Serve the tea to elder Maki and make sure you are present at lunch this afternoon, as for my destination, it is not necessary" she continued before leaving through the door.

"Mayuri-sama' a timid voice began.
"What is it now Nemu?" he barked, clearly annoyed that she had disturbed him.
"Lady Kuchiki wishes to speak with you" she finished while proceeding to give him his clothing and facial make-up. He simply nodded and she placed them back on the table.
'Captain Kuchiki's wife...'he thought while rubbing his chin.
"Send her in" he replied shortly afterwards.
"Yes, Mayuri-sama" Nemu replied while making an elegant bow.
*****
She waited patiently for a few minutes by the door and glimpsed some male squad members observing her from a far. She overheard a few conversations they had spoken and had blushed a couple times at their choice of words.
"Kuchiki-sama clearly doesn't deserve her, he is such a pompous ass-" but before he could finish, what seemed to be his friend knock him real hard on the head,
"Hey, she is just a few metres away, what if she hears you" he chastised.
She slowly turned to face them and smiled coyly when she saw their faces turned beet red.
"Lady Kuchiki" the familiar voice began and instantly snapped her out of her flirtatious mood.
"Mayuri-sama says you can see him now" she continued. Nodding, she proceeded through the doors and couldn't help but smile at the last comment,
"She still does look beautiful"
*****
I watched as the young girl immediately bowed and left the room with the man everyone seemed to be afraid of, but he looked alright. It was not that he wore a scary mask or any facial make-up.
"What do you want?' he enquired while breaking a nail and she couldn't help but cringed at the sight. She removed the green phial from her inner kimono and handed it to him.
"I would like you to run a few test on the contents in the bottle" she said while relaxing in the comfortable armchair he had given her permission to sit in.
I watched as he shook the phial in front of him before asking,
"Do you believe it is poison?"
I simply nodded and watched to my horror as he removed the stopper and drank a good dose of its contents. He must have noticed my expression on my face and simply raised his hand before saying,
"Silly woman, poison doesn't affect me" and couldn't help but show the yellow teeth in his mouth after he saw how I reacted to his statement.
"Rare nightshades and anaesthetics" he replied flatly before continuing,
"Functions: anaesthetic numbs a part of the body and the nightshade deteriorates that area of numbness"
My eyes widened at the findings and couldn't believe this was how the elders had decided to get rid of her.
"However, I must say there is something quite odd about this poison"
"What is it?" I enquired desperately trying to take the information quickly and hurry back to manor for it was getting late.
"It slowly rots the soul and eventually prevents it from reincarnated, I know this because the nightshades are so strong they can do just that, however Lady Kuchiki I have the cure for it since you were smart enough to get the phial" he said while getting up from the chair and removing a white phial from the countertop.
"Please Lady Kuchiki, I would love to see some executions or have some bodies for my experiments" he chuckled evilly at her.
"So, bust them today at lunch" he said while handing her the bottle.
******
"You have to tell him Elnod!" Saya pleaded with the man in the hallway.
"What is it?" a very familiar voice said. The two servants gulped before Elnond spoke,
"Milord, Lady Kuchiki has left the premises to an unknown location and says she will be back shortly"
