Title: To Cry Sorrows Amongst Flowers of Joy
Theme 11: Gardenia
Rating: T
Genre: Angst
Contrary to popular belief, Soifon, the captain of squad two, did have a soft side. In fact, she would always sneak off to the forest during nights of the full moon and sit where she last took her moments with the person she loved more than life itself. But she hated the sakura trees. They reminded her of the broken promise still damaging her heart, even seventy-three years later. No she did not come for those mocking sakura trees. She came for the gardenias she had planted there. She tended to them every day at dawn and came to sit amongst them at dusk.
Here she cried among the flowers of joy over her twisted hatred and love of the only name, and word, that would spill from her quivering lips that had once aspired to kiss the lips of her only love.
