I should tell you that updates will be slow cuz of school. So don't hate me. Enjoy this chapter.
Byakuya opened his eyes to the bright sunlight. He laid on his bed for a little while thinking. For several weeks now, the same dream met him when he slept. He was walking throughout a meadow at night when sakura petals began to fall around him. But there wasn't any sakura trees in the meadow, and he didn't unleash Senbonzakura. Then he heard a woman singing. Eventually saw a figure standing with the cherry blossoms fluttering around her. Where ever she moved the petals moved with her. He was amazed. He even asked her what her name was. But when she would turn to tell him, she would disappear. He would then wake up.
Byakuya sighed. He was infactuated with a dream-woman. No one that perfect existed. After a while of mulling his dream over, he got up from his bed, very perplexed. He dressed lathargicly and decided to ask his parents for guidence. He walked through his family's manor greeting people as he did. He wove his way through many halls and doors. Finally he reached the room he was looking for. He walked up to the middle of the room, dropped to his knees, and bowed low. He stood again and lit two incence, then bowed again.
"Father, Mother. I must ask of your assitance. Lately, I have been having dreams about this woman. She enchants me whenever I see her. I know that this is just a dream, but I keep having this feeling that something is going to happen. I wish that she would at least tell me her name. So, I can know what to look for. Please, give me a sign that I'm not just in over my head." At that moment a window in the room flew open. Byakuya walked over to the window and peered out of it. The window over looked most of the Rukon disrict. He squinted and saw a figure running toward the estate.
His heart racing, Byakuya put out the incence and kissed the graves of his parents. He rushed from the room and toward the main entrance. He was excited but he hid that feeling from those around him. He made to the main door and opened it wide. His eyes, that were widened with hope, sank at who he saw. "B-ya-ku-ya!" Byakuya stared annoyed at Kaien Shiba, one of his only friends. He looked up to the heavans scowling. "Was this a warning?" Kaien through an arm around Byakuya's shoulder. "My friend, we are going out today. Remember we made plans last week. You promised."
Byakuya had tried to forget. He was astonished that Kaien had remembered because of how drunk he was that day. "I thought that Lady Miyako's mother was visiting today?" Byakuya prayed for a miracle. "She is but as you know, I don't like her," Kaien gave him a toothy grin. "Come on! Let's go! I found this great resturant in the Rukon disrict, that we gotta go to." Byakuya sighed and nodded slowly. "Yes! First, take those silver noodles out of your hair." Kaien yanked the kenseikan out of Byakuya's hair. "See, now you don't look loke such a dork," Kaien joked. He dragged Byakuya out of the manor. It would be a very long day.
Byakuya and Kaien walked around a decent part of the Rukon disrict. "You know hanging out with friends isn't fun if the person I'm with isn't talking," Kaien complained. Byakuya just shrugged. "Is your silence relevant to the dreams you've been having as of late?" Kaien mimicked Byakuya's grandfather. Byakuya tried to hide the small blush on his cheeks. "You know, Little Byakushi," Byakuya shot him a glare, "I'd understand if that chick in your dream was that hot. But I think you're going insane." Byakuya, oddly, felt the same way.
They walked around a little bit more, looking for something to do. A small singing voice hit Byakuya's hears. He froze in the middle of the street. "What's up?" Byakuya's lips moved but Kaien didn't hear him. "What?!" Kaien yelled. "The voice." Even this was a whisper. Byakuya walked toward the voice untill he found himself staring at a crowd of people. He tried to see over the people, but he was too far back. Up close the voice was angelic and smooth. His heart was racing again. Her lyrics matched the beauty of her voice. She sung of the passages of life and of what we were to expect for our futures. Byakuya looked back at Kaien, who was crying a little.
Her song was going wonderfully and when she was almost finished someone interupted. "Hisana!" Most of the crowd scuried away. A tall man dressed elegantly stormed up to her; his expression fierce. "Master Yudonmaru." The girl called Hisana bowed her head as she said this. The man picked up a can that was most likely filled with her earnings. The Hisana girl grabbed at the can. "Wait! I earned that!" She yelled. Her 'master' pushed her to the hard dirt. Yudonmaru looked disdainfully down at her. "And you owe me. Did you really think you could make your living as a singer? Get back to work girl, or there will be trouble." He emptied the can, threw it on the ground, and walked away
Byakuya's fists clenced. He was quite furious. Kaien gave him a look and they walked toward the girl. She was on her knees and her hands were shaking. Byakuya took out some money. He placed a hand on her shoulder. She was very warm to the touch. Hisana looked up frightened. "Are you alright?" Byakuya asked helping her up. She adverted her eyes. "Yes. Thank you." Kaien stepped up. "Jeez, that guy was a jerk," he said. Hisana held back a giggle. Byakuya smiled at her and grabbed her hand. She gasped. "Open your hand." She obliged and he put some money in her hand. "You earned it. Your song was beautiful."
Hisana blushed while trying to give the money back. "Please, I can't take your money." Byakuya pushed her hand away gentally. "No. Just take it. Like I said, you earned it." Hisana adverted her eyes again. "I can't take it." With that she dropped the money and ran off. Byakuya picked it up while watching her run away. Kaien couldn't hide his to-wide grin. "You like her don't you?" Byakuya hit him on the head. Kaien whined. "Well, I can't disaggree when it comes to the beauty of her song. She was pretty cute herself," Kaien mumbled. "Yes," Byakuya whispered. "Beautiful."
Byakuya didn't see Hisana again that day. When the sun had set, Kaien and Byakuya went to the resturant Kaien recommended. Unsurprisingly, it was also a bar. Knowing Kaien he was going to drink untill he got so delierious, he thought Byakuya was Miyako. It has happened on more than one occasion. They hadn't even ordered when Byakuya heard a familiar voice. He stepped outside to see if his dreams had come true. They had.
He saw Hisana walking around with an elderly woman. After the older woman left he walked up to her. "Hi." She spun to face him. "Oh. Good evening. How has your day been?" she asked. He smiled. "Alright. My friend and I are about to have dinner. Would you care to join us?" He asked. "Oh no, thanks. I'm not hungry." After she said that, her stomach grumbled and she blushed. "Are you sure you don't want to eat with us? We'd love to have you."
Hisana's blush was reddening. "I'd love too. Thank you." She followed him to the resturant, and she sat with him while waitimg for Kaien to finish ordering. When Kaien saw them his eyes widened and he ran up to the table. "Holy crap! It's you! You're here! YAY!!!!" Some people were staring at him now. Hisana giggled at him. She had a beautiful laugh. They all talked for a while, shared stories and the like. It was all laughs. Especially when Kaien was drunk. It was hilarious.
"I- I want to give a toast to my favorite peoples. First to my bestest friend, Byakuchi Kuchiya. You may be an aloof bastard- well you're not aloof, you're a doof. Hahahaha! Where was I, oh yeah! You may be an aloof bastard, but you're my best friend. Next, to my wife Miyako. She is the best woman in the world! She's beautiful- well not more than you Hisana- she's smart, and the best when it comes to the bedroom. And finally to, Captian Ukitake. I wouldn't be who I am today without him. He is- sniff- the only guy- sniff, sniff- WAAAAH!" Kaien broke into hysterical cries.
Byakuya and Hisana led him out of the resturant. "Let me walk you home," Byakuya offered. "Thank you." Hisana led him to a small house far from the town. "Well this is where I stop." Before he could respond a huge figure jumpedin front of him. "Oh my god! Byakuya!" Kaien yelled. It turned out to be a medium sized dog. Hisana pet the dog and let it lick her hand. "I'm sorry. She belongs to me. Her name is Mimi. Be nice, Mimi." Byakuya couldn't help but smile. She wouldn't cease to steal his heart.
"Well, thank you for dinner, Byakuya. It was nice. I had fun." She was smiling again. "We were happy to have you. You're a very nice girl." He smiled back. He wanted to kiss her so bad. He wanted to taste her soft lips. To feel her face. To touch her without boundaries. He was wanting too much at one time. Since he couldn't cease his ache, he just kissed her forehead. She was blushing mildly again. "Good night Hisana." She looked into his eyes. "Good night."
Byakuya started to walk away still carrying Kaien. "Byakuya!" He turned to her again. "I would like to see you again," she said. "I feel the same, Hisana. And you will see me again." She waved a farewell to them. Unintentionally, Byakuya had fallen in love. He looked to the Heavans again. "Thank you for the sign. You both must approve. Thank you for sending her to me. I love her. My sweet, Hisana."
