Stories of Vice-Captains

'Where is she?' the white haired boy thought. He was sitting against a tree with his arms crossed in front of him. His scowl grew bigger with each passing second. He have been waiting for her for the last two hours. He was getting inpatient. He was about to go and find where out she was, but he saw her walking to were he was sitting.

He would not go easy on her this time. He was in an awful mood. He was going to give her a piece of his mind. "Why are you this late?" he asked her angrily. He wasn't looking at her; he had been staring at a tree.

She flinched at his voice. "Sorry. I was busy," she said to him. He looked up to see her face but she was giving him her back. He heard the sadness in her voice. His awful mood disappeared and now concern replaced it. He had known her for a couple of weeks now and he knew that something was wrong.

He grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. Now they were facing each other. He studied her face. She was avoiding looking at him. She didn't want to meet his cold, green eyes.

He wanted to know what was wrong. "Look at me," he said to her with a firm, yet soft voice. She looked up and met his eyes. Time stopped for a moment. Both were searching for something in each other eyes.

He didn't like what he found. In her eyes he found sadness, pain and doubt. He felt something on his chest, but he didn't pay attention to it. He was more concerned about the girl in front of him.

"Are you ok?" he asked her, his eyes never leaving hers. She looked down again and said "Nothing. Lets train." She removed his hand from her shoulder, and turned around. She only moved two steps before he grabbed her wrist and turned her around again.

"Look, I have been waiting for you to come for the last two hours. My day hasn't been that good, and I'm not in a great mood. I know something is wrong. Please tell me," he said, the last part almost in a whisper. He looked at her face; she wasn't looking at him. He tried again, "Please, I want to help you."

Both were silent. Rukia kept looking at the ground, and Hitsugaya's eyes never left her face. "So you won't let me help you," he thought. He removed his hand from her wrist and was about to move when he heard her voice.

"I was made into a vice-captain," she said in a monotone voice just with the small hint of sadness. "Captain Ukitake told me this morning that I was more than perfect for the job."

She was hiding her eyes with her hair. Her hands were made into fists. He didn't understand what the problem was. He knew that she was a great fighter and also very smart. "You should be happy-" but she cut him off.

"You don't understand!" she told him in a cold voice. "You don't understand how you could." Tears fell from her pale cheeks. Again he felt something in his chest. He had never seen her cry. He moved closer to her and try to grab her hand. She moved away from him.

Rukia hated to show weakness in front of others. She had been taught to never show emotion. But know she was crying in front of a captain. 'What would nii-sama think of me if he saw me acting like this?' she thought with a sad smile. Hitsugaya's voice brought her back to reality. "Explain to me why becoming a vice-captain is bad and maybe I would understand," he said with a calm voice.

He waited for her to speak. She took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to become vice-captain because it was Kain-dono's job," she told him with pain in her voice.

"It was his job before he died. He was great at this. He was the first person that accepted me in the squad. He didn't treat me special because I was Byakuya's sister. He trained and taught me everything. When he was around I felt happy. People were starting to say that we had an affair, but he didn't care. His wife didn't mind either. She also treated me well. She was like a sister to me.

"The three of us were happy. But his wife was sent to exterminate a hollow and was killed in the mission. Kain-dono was furious. When they brought the body they didn't notice that the hollow was inside her body hiding. The hollow killed many shinigamis, so Kain-dono tried to stop it. Captain Ukitake and I followed him. Because he was too angry to think properly he made a mistake and the hollow went inside of him.

"With his last will power he told me to kill him. I didn't want to but he begged to me to kill him. I wanted to end the pain. That night I took the life of the only person that understood me. And now if I accept to become captain I will take his place."

She was crying harder know. Telling him this was very hard. She was a horrible person. She didn't deserve to live. Ichigo shouldn't have saved her. Her knees went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

"Kain-dono didn't deserve to die! It should have been the other way around, I should be dead!"

"No"

She felt a pair of strong arms hugging her.
