The Unwanted Truth
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"For what reasons does she wish to go to the Living World?" ,asked Yamamoto.
"Well, Yamamoto-san... I'm not exactly at liberty to say, its a personal affair..." , deflected Urahara.
"If she wants to go, I need a good reason..."
"Yamamoto-san, in 4 days it will exactly be 20 years since her brother died. She wishes to go visit her brother's grave... That's all she wishes to do..." , truthfully answered Urahara.
The whole room was filled with an eerie silence.
Her brother, is that Hiro-kun? Was that the one who she was dreaming about? ,thought Ukitake.
"She has permission to go if she is supervised by at least 2 captains."
"I volunteer to go!" , quickly shouted out Jushiro.
All the captains stared at him, slightly embarrassed, he tried to explain himself, "Well, she did help me with my coughing fit... So I guess I kind of owe her."
"Jushiro, I don't want you tiring yourself out, its better for your health if you stay." ,replied the General Commander.
"I have 4 days, if I sleep until the day before, I'll be as good as new."
"Please? I owe her..."
"Fine, you are permitted to go. We still need one captain." ,said Yamamoto-sama as his eyes foraged the room for willing captains.
Byakuya raised his hand, "General Commander Yamamoto, I am willing to go."
"Hmm? Kuchiki-taichou, you are willing to go? Then we are set, Hoshizaki Yuki will be permitted to go. The Senkaimon will be unlocked and each of you will be given a Hell Butterfly, all will meet at Soukyou Hill at 9 o' clock in the morning. Please tell
Hoshizaki Yuki the news Urahara-san."
"Hai!" ,said Urahara before rushing out to tell Yuki the good news.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yuki breathed in as the doors of the Senkaimon opened, 3 Hell Butterflies fluttered before them, leading the way. It suprised Yuki how something so small could be so important to Soul Society. When they reached the other side, Yuki noticed that the skys were gray and gloomy. No sun lit the air with happiness, that was good. Yuki didn't want today to be sunny, having it be cheerful all around her was slightly annoying when she was so blue.
"It's this way. " ,pointed out Yuki.
Yuki knew Karakura Town well, she had grown up here, she had died here as well. It was filled with memories, both happy and sad. Here was where she walked her first steps, where she rode her first bike. But even though this was the place where she spent all 27th of her birthdays, this was also the place where she spent 3 horrible years watching Hiro wither away from his disease. This was the place where Hiro had coughed blood, where crimson stains met white carpets, where her childhood ended and reality snatched her up. This was the place where Hiro died.
Yuki ignored Byakuya's worried looks, he was probably just wondering whether or not she was leading them in the right direction. Of course she was! She had walked this road for 19 years, even when she went to college, she always skip school to come here and spend the day at Hiro's grave. When her parents were busy, she walked here herself, the road was full of sad thoughts and depressing memories. Haku never came with her. She barely knew her older brother. Hiro had died before Haku was even born. This cement path was a road to her brother's own grave. (Her parents were buried somewhere else)
They finally reached the cemetery, Yuki took a deep breath. She had memorized this path since she was 7, the way to get there was carved deep into her brain, even if she lost her memory she would always know how to get to Hiro's grave.
Go straight past 5 rows, turn left, 2nd to the last one, and there it was.
Yuki stared at the tombstone.
Hoshizaki Hiro
Born:5/21/74
Died: 4/18/89
Beloved Son to Riku and Hina Hoshizaki
Beloved Brother to Haku and Yuki Hoshizaki
Yuki didn't even know why their parents put Haku on the grave, she never met them, the tombstone had been rewritten after Haku was born. Haku was born a decade after Hiro had died, she is 17 now. The last time she visited the family, Haku had wanted to become a doctor like her. But Yuki had done her best to convince Haku otherwise. Like her name, Haku was white, pure, innocent. She had never come close to seeing reality's shadow, Yuki wanted to make sure she would never meet reality itself. It had ruined her childhood and life. Being a doctor, Haku would be surrounded by death, it would take away her innocence.
"Byakuya-taichou, Ukitake-taichou. Can I have some privacy?" ,said Yuki as she stared emptily at the tombstone.
The two captains hesitated.
"Please, I promise not to try anything. I just want to talk to Hiro..."
They slowly walked back, respecting Yuki's wish for privacy... (Or did they??? LOL)
"Hiro-kun... Onii-chan... I miss you. If you hadn't died, I know you would be married right now. You would have a beautiful wife and twins. You would name one after me and another after your wife. You had your life all planned out... didn't you? You wanted to have your first girlfriend at 15, your first kiss a month after you met her. The two of you would be high school sweethearts but when high school was over you two would go your separate ways. You would go to a good college and study law and then there you wanted to meet your future wife there, your soul mate, she would be a doctor and the two of you would fall in love. But reality came and messed up everything, you would never live life out like you wanted to. You never got a chance to actually live...
"Hiro-kun, you never even got to meet Haku. She's so pretty, and her hair is so different then either of ours, its like the sky at twilight, not completely black. Its such a wonderful color, a dark black with a blue tone to it. And her eyes they'll so beautiful, if they were jewels they would sell for a million billion yen!! It's a wonderful teal color, like the ocean, jade and sapphire all blended together. Her eyes are like this captain's I saw... he was so short but his face was so stern. I wonder if her ever got a childhood. His hair is pure white! And his eyes are just like Haku's!! A captain... They're a level of people at Seireitei. Hiro-kun, I died... I was sent to a place called Soul Society, if I was sent there... Then are you there too? If you are I promise and swear on my life that I will find you. It's been 20 years, have you grown at all? Unohana-taichou tells me that age in Soul Society is different than the Living World's. Would you be a teenager now? That would be so weird, for my Onii-chan to look younger than me... If you're in Soul Society, do you ever think of me? Do you think I died fairly? I guess I don't really miss being alive, it was so boring, it was just living... I had to live every day thinking about you... Hiro-chan. It wasn't fair for you to die at all! You were still young! It's all my fault...
Hiro was the most wonderful person she had ever met.
Yuki thought of Hiro, he was always so cheerful, like her dad his hair was always a soft brown. Haku and Yuki had taken after their mother, that was where they got their black hair, Haku's specila hair was just a different version of Oka-san's hair. Haku had gotten father and mother's eyes, blue eyes met green eyes, and Haku was born. Hiro always had beautiful blue eyes while Yuki had the sparkling green ones. Hiro, he was so handsome. He was often asked out to dates and dances, but every time Hiro said no. He had to help the family out, since the age of 8 he had worked at the deli across from the park. Hiro would bring Yuki to the deli every school day, there she would do her homework while Hiro was busy carrying boxes and washing dishes in the back of the kitchen. He wasn't to be seen since he was too young to have a job. When it was 6 and his shift was over, they would walk home and in the 30 minutes before supper, Hiro would do the chores such as folding and washing clothes, sweeping the floor, doing whatever he could to keep the house neat and tidy so their parents could relax. Then he would give Yuki a snack and he would begin to cook dinner. When ota-san and oka-san were home, dinner was done and they ate in peace. Hiro would then start his homework while Yuki was taking a bath and changing her pajamas. He would read her a story, give her some water and a good night kiss. He was the epitome of the perfect brother and son, always thinking about the family and working hard, he would get good grades and take care of his little sister, he did chores without being told and made sure to let his parents rest after a day of hard work. When he was died, the family was in complete chaos, dinner was often served late, and the house always ended up being messy, they had lost Hiro's extra source of income and Yuki was in tears every day.
When Yuki had turned 8, she too assumed his role in the family, she received Hiro's job at the deli, did the chores and cooked dinner for the family. Things began to look up, slowly but surely. Ota-san received a promotion and 2 years later Oka-san got a better job with a higher source of income. Another year later, Haku was born. She had never known life the way Yuki and Hiro did. She was the lucky one and had been kept away from all the horrors of life, she had been kept away from reality herself. However now she wasn't so innocent, Yuki had died and Haku and her parent must be suffering right know. She would realize life wasn't so easy and would work hard.
Yuki stifled another cry.
"You know... I would gladly have died in your place. That way you could lived your life out the way you wanted to, I had no idea that I wanted to become a doctor until after you died. But before you died, you had everything planned out... Hiro-chan, how could you get sick so young? I hated it when you coughed blood up, I hated it when you got the white sheets and carpets red... I hated that you were always so pale and weak, your head would be so hot and you would always be sweaty. I hated it!"
A leak broke through the dam, a tear streaked down her face, and with the dam, Yuki broke down too.
Byakuya and Ukitake were huddled behind a tree, well to be truthful Ukitake was huddled behind a true, Byakuya was standing behind the crouched Ukitake. The 6th division captain was trying to act normally so if Ukitake was caught, he wouldn't be blamed. I mean seriously, who looks more guilty? The person who's standing and looking the other way or the person crouched behind a tree staring at the girl? But now Byakuya and Ukitake knew how Hiro died, Kuchiki knew the reason for the look of terror and horror on Yuki's face when she saw Ukitake cough blood up, they knew the reason she had so abruptly finished the battle just to save him from the depths of unconsciousness. It was all because of Hiro. Secretly inside, Jushiro felt a twinge of sadness. He had kind of hoped that she had saved him because she had cared about him...
But she had only met him on that day, so how could have she cared about him? He was just a fool wishing for someone's love. Wait no, not love! Jushiro just wanted the girl to care about him. Not to love him! No! Forget it! He hadn't said love...
Jushiro sighed inside, a beautiful, kind, smart, strong, talented, heck he could go all day... the point was such a wonderful and perfect girl could never love him. He was so taken and infatuated by Yuki that he had dreams about her on the nights before the anniversary of her brother's death. But then again, he had never slept with a girl in his arms before. This could just be his mind reacting for being so intimate with a girl for the first time, he hadn't ever been on a date before. Now that he thought about it, Kyoraku was the one who was surrounded by girls. Jushiro had never felt jealous or the need to be with the opposite gender. (JUSHIRO IS NOT PLAYING FOR THE OTHER TEAM!!! A.K.A. HE"S NOT GAYYY!!! JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER WANTED A GIRL DOES NOT MEAN HE"S GAY!!!) But for the first time, a girl had claimed him, incidently or purposely he did not know, but he knew that it made him feel so wonderful and full to have her in his arms. But ever being with Yuki was a dream, because as he had said before she was beautiful, kind, smart, strong, talented... basically perfect? Also, she was heartbroken by Hiro and his disease, not that Jushiro had the same one he knew Yuki would hurt just to be near him. He moved to the side of the tree trunk, his back was starting to ache.
Snap!
A lone branch that had been laying innocently was crushed when Jushiro switched positions. Yuki snapped to the right, facing the tree which Kuchiki and Ukitake were now whimpering behind. Of course Kuchiki was doing it "elegantly".
"Ukitake!!! Kuchiki!! YOU BASTARDS!!!!"
Yuki was now racing behind them as they quickly flash stepped out of the cemetery.
"Crap!" ,muttered Ukitake.
"Jushiro! This is all your fault!" ,yelled Kuchiki as he ran elegantly in front of Ukitake.
"Maybe we can negotiate with her?"
"Okay... We'll try that."
"Yuki-chan, we'll super sorry that we eavesdropped on you guys!" ,offered Ukitake trying to apologize.
"Yes Yuki-chan! We'll sorry. Oh and the family heirloom looks wonderful on you!!" ,said Kuchiki who was trying to butter Yuki up.
"I should have castrated you when I got the chance KUCHIKI!!! I'll make sure to cut you up and then I'll rip up the family heirloom and use the scraps to burn your body for the funeral! And you Ukitake! DON"T YOU THINK I WONT CONVINCE UNOHANA TO GIVE YOU LAXATIVES!! YOU"LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT YA'!! YOU"LL BE CROUCHING IN PAIN ALL DAY!!",cackled Yuki wickedly who was slowly catching up.
"Kuchiki. I have a plan! On the count of 3! We stop!!"
"1!"
"2!"
"3! STOP!"
"Now what Jushiro?" ,said Kuchiki who was uneasily eyes the speeding Yuki.
"We bow down and beg for our lives!"
"WHAT THAT"S YOUR BRILLIANT PLAN?!?! The head of the Kuchiki clan bows for no one!!"
"Do you want to die?"
Ukitake grabbed Kuchiki's head smushing it down to the ground.
"REPEAT AFTER ME!!"
"OH MIGHTY YUKI!! YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, STRONGEST, MOST TALENTED, SMARTEST, WOMAN IN THE UNIVERSE!" cough* cough* "Except Hisana!" cough* cough*
KICK INBETWEEN LEGS*
"REPEAT IT KUCHIKI!!"
"YOU ARE THE SUPREME LORD OF THE UNIVERSE!! WE BOW DOWN TO YOU!!", chanted Ukitake and Kuchiki who was bowing elegantly.
"Hmm! Trying to kiss up to me, heh? We since you're my servants you have to do whatever I say!!" ,grinned Yuki evilly.
"Do the lucky dance!!!"
"WHAT!!!" ,both shouted the captains.
"Hmm! Or do you want to suffer the consequences." ,said Yuki, Kuchiki could've swore that he saw a small patch of her jade eyes glint with mischief.
"WE ARE THE SERVANTS OF THE MIGHTY YUKI!",said the captains as they returned to bowing.
"DO THE LUCKY DANCE!!!"
Quickly the 2 captains started doing the lucky dance.
Damn, thought Kuchiki. He could make al ot of stuff look elegant, but the lucky dance just wasn't one of them.
"Stay here! I need to get something."
Yuki quickly shunpo'ed away, frantically looking for something.
"Do you think she's trying to run away?" ,asked Kuchiki.
"No... I think she's trying to find something that will make fun of us."
Yuki suddenly returned with a camcorder in her hand. However Jushiro and Kuchiki who were ignorant to the current marvels of the time didn't understand what it was and just kept dancing.
"Start over."
And doing their best not to anger Yuki, the captains quickly started over.
They didn't even notice Yuki press the red button.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!"
Kuchiki and Ukitake-taichou watched theirselves dance to the Lucky Dance.
Crap, if that gets out my reputation is screwed. Renji won't let this one go...
I'll just say public humiliation isn't good for my health... that'll work... Right???
"If you 2 don't want this to get out, you're going to have to do whatever I say..."
The captains nodded obediently, as they stood there waiting for instructions.
"Push ups captains! Push ups till I tell you to stop."
"Yuki... Push ups aren't good for my health..." ,said Ukitake trying to find an excuse.
"Don't worry Ukitake. I have Binzuru Sonja right here... You'll be revived in no time, you'll be fine. I can guarantee that, unless of course you don't do the push ups." ,smiled Yuki.
"Come on Kuchiki!!"
"1!"
"2!"

SOUL SOCIETY
"I wonder what's taking them so long Sasakibe (Yamamoto's lieutenant)??" ,wondered Captain General Yamamoto.
"I'm sure everyone's healthy and fine!!" ,reasurred Sasakibe.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"543!"
"544!"
"Just 6 more to go!!"
"545!"
"546!"
"547!"
"548!"
"549!"
"550!"
Finally done with 550 push ups, both captains collapsed onto the ground, both sweating furiously.
Now after 550 pushups, and 2 coughing fits from Jushiro they returned to Soul Society.
The hell butterflies once again fluttered before them, leading the way home.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yuki had to drag the two tired captains through Seireitei before finding the 1st division.
"Oh there it is!!! Come on! I bet all the captains are already there waiting for us." ,innocently smiled Yuki as she dragged the two through the dirt.
Yuki had dragged them through sprinklers and then a sandy road and then a freshly cut lawn. Now they were wet, with sand and grass clippings stuck on their whole body.
Yuki kicked open the 1st division door and ignored all the gawking the shinigami were doing at the two captains.
Finally reaching the meeting room, Yuki slumped them through and dropped them onto the wooden floor.
"Sorry I'm late!"
The 8 captains stared at the two captains who were breathing hard on the ground.
"What's the meaning of this?"
"What? This?"
"We just had some physical fitness classes, I assure you, they're in pristine shape!!" ,smiled Yuki innocently.
"Are you okay captains?" ,asked Unohana-taichou.
"Yes!! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, SMARTEST, MOST TALENTED, STRONGEST SUPREME LORD OF THE KNOWN AS YUKI-SAMA HAS TAKEN GOOD CARE OF US!!" , the 2 captains chanted the script that Yuki had given them.
Soifon stifled a chuckle as Yamamoto simply sighed.
"You have trained your captains well!" ,laughed Yuki.
Suddenly taking a camera out of nowhere, Yuki snapped a picture of the two that were now slumped onto the ground.

"YUKI-SAMA??"
"I want to make sure that the Shinigami Women's Association get a 360 degree picture. I'm also thinking of blowing this up into a poster, you know put it in every division. What do you think?"
"ALL IDEAS OF YUKI-SAMA ARE EXCELLENT ONES." ,said the 2 captains, completely synchronized.
"Hey Kenpachi! Yachiru wanted 7 sets right?? Oh wait. Unohana-taichou I forgot about you. 8 sets, okay so 56 pictures in total."
"Done!!"
"Oh Kuchiki-san, you have something in your hair."
Instead of taking out the many grass clipping, Yuki took the precious head set also known as a kenseikan from Byakuya's midnight colored hair. He was too tired to do anything except lay there, compeletly exhausted from doing continuous push ups which they had to keep starting over because Jushiro kept coughing and ruining the rhythm.
"See you later? Oh and Byakuya-taichou? Remember, I still got the video, your scarf, and now these wonderful hair noodles!! Jushiro! Don't forget to remind Kyoraku, that if I don't get ALL 50% of the profits, he's not seeing those hairpins anytime soon!"
said Yuki before vanishing into the city of Seireitei.
"Unohana-taichou, do you think we can let Yuki in the Shingami Women's Association? I really want to see those pictures!! She might even make a poster for us!!"
"Hai Soifon! I'm thinking about it too!"
General Commander Yamamoto sat back into his chair and sighed, things were going to be alot more hectic with Yuki around...
R&R if you enjoyed!
Hoped you thought it was funny!!
