Chapter Two: Peace

"Izuru" I said looking over at my Vice Captain.

"Yes Captain Yuki" He said looking back at me.

"Go ahead and get some rest. I am going to go see my little brother."

"Yes Captain. Thank you. You should get some rest soon as well."

"I will"

Both Izuru and I walked out of the office and I headed off towards Squad 10 barracks. When I reached the office I knocked and walked in saying "Hey Toshiro"

He looked up at me and replied. "Hello Yuki"

"Would you like to go on a walk with me?"

"Alright. Let me finish up this paper work"

Soon Toshiro finished his paper work and we were on our walk. "How have you been little brother" I asked him as we reached the gate leading out into the rest of the Soul Society.

"Fine and you?" He replied.

"Not so good"

He stopped in shock because their was only one person I ever opened up to and that was not my little brother. "Why?" He asked.

"Rukia is going to be executed"

"I know"

"It seems a little harsh"

"Sharing Soul Reaper powers is a Capital Offense"

"I know but still"

"Yuki you shouldn't let your personal feelings over cloud your judgment"

"But why"

"Yuki, You know once Central 46 makes a decision even you a captain can't change their minds"

"I know" By this time we had started to walk again.

"Yuki. Listen. Please don't do anything stupid"

"I wont"

"Come on lets head back"

"Good idea"

We went back but I still walked. Walked until hopefully everything will make sense. I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I hadn't realized where I ended up. The Kuchiki compound. "Yuki" came a voice I have known for a long time.

I looked up at him, my childhood friend. "Byakuya" I said running up to him and embracing him.

"Yuki. What's wrong?" He asked in shock.

The tears began to pour as I said "Why Byakuya? Why do I have to loose her as well? Can my heart ever be at peace?"
