"We are leaving for a mission tonight," Rukia informed Hisana. It had become a habit for her to tell her daily routines to her sister, which forced them to become closer. "I really like your hair Nee-chan."
Hisana smiled and put a hand to her younger sister's cheeks. "We look quite alike don't we?"
"Mm." Rukia put her own hand on top of her sister's, ignoring the pain that started in her palm.
"Rukia," her sister said disapprovingly. "How many times have I told you not to touch me? You get hurt if-"
"I know Nee-chan, but it's been a long time since I felt this- this-..." Rukia paused to find a word that could describe what was missing from her life with Byakuya, "love..."
"I know Rukia, but it'll all change soon enough."
