"Where is Elizabeth?" Rukia asked, trying not to lose her temper, to keep from losing her high anger, she clenched her hands into fists. Her teeth grinding against each other as if it were in war, the maid holding the pink blanket that was Elizabeth's, ready to be washed stuttered in front of Rukia's presence, she wasn't going to lie…she was scary.
"I-I-I-…Hitsugaya-Sama requested for Elizabeth not to be disturbed." The maid stumbled out and Rukia sighed…sometimes Momo was so weird.
"Alright then, I'll go, and if she gets angry, I don't care. She's neglecting the poor child." Rukia said as the maid nodded and stepped out of her way and Rukia walked down the corridors. Rukia finally stopped in front of Elizabeth's nursery room and put her hand on the knob. Her silken white sleeves just brushing her knuckles as she put her hand forward. "I swear to god, Momo is so idiotic, I can't believe she requested that order." Rukia muttered to herself. She was worried per say, Elizabeth was like her daughter, in a certain way because Rukia was always taking care of Elizabeth rather than Momo who should be now she was up and walking. Rukia wanted to see Elizabeth at least one more time before she went off to the Kuchiki Trade. The room was dark, and there was a pungent smell to it as she opened the door to a dark room. It was so sunny outside…yet so dark in here. Rukia walked in.
"Oh Elizabeth…are you awake?" Rukia whispered as she stepped into the room and opened the curtains to let in the sunlight in. Rukia smiled as she opened the window and then turned around. What she saw next…was horrifying.
Blood…
Massacre…
"ELIZABETH!!" Rukia screamed.
Twenty minutes later:
"Rukia…I know…but I…shit." Hitsugaya said as Rukia leaned up against a wall, Hitsugaya was right next to her doing the same action. He was in a meeting earlier and a maid heard Rukia's scream and came to see what was wrong. The poor maid was only met with Rukia shouting at her to go get Hitsugaya and Momo as soon as possible. The maid bowed quickly and then left. When Hitsugaya arrived Rukia had blood on her hands and Hitsugaya saw his daughter…dead.
"Hitsugaya…I don't have to go to the Kuchiki Trade…I'll let Momo go since she wanted to so badly." Rukia said as Hitsugaya shook his head.
"They chose you, you should go." Hitsugaya said as Rukia nodded and Momo came strolling in, laughing with Kira and Hisagi. Rukia and Hitsugaya perked up and when Momo entered in the room, her laughters died down and she saw the bloody scene.
"I see then." Momo said carelessly, Rukia was too shocked to even notice it wasn't one of surprise or horror. Momo went over to Rukia and shook her shoulder. "Rukia…Rukia, come on!" Momo shook Rukia until Rukia looked up and saw no horrification on Momo's face. Rukia gently shook off Momo's hand.
"I'm alright Momo." Rukia said as she straightened up and maids were cleaning up the mess and cleaning up Elizabeth.
"Well then, we shouldn't worry about trivial matters." Momo said as she dismissed Kira and Hisagi and Rukia finally noticed the careless tone.
"Momo, how can you just say that without care?" Rukia asked and Momo blinked a few times.
"I do care; I need to show proper emotions Rukia, and something you should do. I don't have time to grieve over deaths, deaths of people that don't matter to me." Momo said knowing Hitsugaya already left the room to go calm down in his office. Rukia looked at the maids who were trying to clean up, but were more interested in hearing their conversation.
"All of you, go out for now, I'll call you when it's proper to come back in." Rukia ordered and all of the bowed before they left the room closing the door behind them.
"Rukia, why did you do that? They needed to clean." Momo said as she examined her nails and Rukia furrowed her brows.
"She was your daughter and you say she is a trivial matter Momo?!" Rukia said angrily and Momo waved it off and gave Rukia a look. Rukia widened her eyes.
"What did you do to Elizabeth?" Rukia asked as Momo started walking towards the window and then leaned against the glass.
"Simple Rukia, I had her killed." Momo said as she picked at her clean nails and Rukia opened her mouth in shock and rage.
"You killed your own daughter?! Momo how could you?! When I tell Hitsugaya about this you better know what your punishment is." Rukia said as she walked towards the door and then heard a sob and felt Momo's hand encircled around Rukia's wrist. Rukia turned and saw Momo crying.
"I-I-I didn't know why I did it Rukia…but please…don't tell Hitsugaya…I can't let him know. He'll hate me forever…he won't love me…please!" Momo sobbed and Rukia tensed up and then calmed down. She hated to see Momo cry, no matter how angry she was at Momo. Rukia sighed and then took her wrist away.
"Fine, if someone were to tell him, it won't be from me then. You should repent for your actions Momo, I have to go now. I'll see you in two months." Rukia said as she opened the door and saw the maids waiting outside patiently. Rukia looked up at them and turned the corner. "You may enter now." Rukia said firmly as she walked towards Hitsugaya's office. She knocked politely on the two oak doors and heard a hoarse 'come in.' Thanks to Hitsugaya's now raspy voice. She opened the door and closed it behind her and saw Hitsugaya rubbing his temples.
"Rukia…are you going to go now?" Hitsugaya asked without looking at her and Rukia nodded as she walked behind him and started massaging his head herself. He immediately relaxed and sat still.
"Yeah…don't worry, you'll be fine." Rukia said soothingly and Hitsugaya shrugged.
"I don't know Rukia, it feels horrible." Hitsugaya said and Rukia nodded as she felt his headache release from his head and then walked away.
"I know it does, but you'll get better. I'll see you in two months, granted that you have swooped up from this depression. Goodbye Hitsugaya." Rukia said as Hitsugaya nodded.
"I'll see you later Rukia, I'll be waiting for your arrival." Hitsugaya said as he smiled at her as she walked out. When Rukia closed the door behind her, she smiled at his words and walked off.
Two months later:
Rukia jumped off her horse and the servant waiting for her horse to come. Rukia held the small silken scarf she had tucked into her corset long ago. It held two items on there and Rukia was happy she got them during the Kuchiki Trade. She walked up the steps, wanting to greet Momo first. She walked into the house and was greeted by maids. She smiled at them sweetly.
"Do you know where Momo is?" Rukia asked and the maid smiled back at her and nodded as she told her the exact location. Rukia smiled and went up the stairs, practically hopping. She was so happy; she made the best Kuchiki Trade in history that was to be recorded. She made her family more prosperous and happy as she crossed the stairs. She then stopped at the level where the maid told her to go and then walked down the hall. Momo was talking to Kira in Momo's old room and Rukia smiled. She then put her hand on the door, loving the new coral blue gown she had received from Hisana about a couple of days ago after the Trade was completed. She then slipped the knob open and was humming happily.
"Oh Momo…why is it…" A moan of pleasure made her see the reality of what Momo was actually doing and why it was so dark. Rukia stomped over to the window and shoved opened the blinds and shook her head as Momo and Kira stopped their actions and pulled the blankets over each other. Rukia examined them and saw the clothing scattered on the floor before she pursed her lips and then uncrossed her arms and started to walk out of the room. She heard Momo calling after her and Rukia stopped as Momo pulled on her. Rukia snapped her wrist and threw it out of Momo's hold and turned around and her lips pulled back into a snarl. "You whore." Rukia snapped at Momo, who was adjusting her dress in a hurry.
"Rukia…it's not what you think!" Momo said and Rukia glared at her.
"Then what was it? Friendly body interactions between friends that just happen to have you open your legs?" Rukia said bitterly and sarcastically with a bitter smile. Rukia shook her head. "You know Momo, I don't even know why I try to help you, and I'm telling him and what you did with Elizabeth too!" Rukia said as she spun around and Momo yelled.
"RUKIA, DON'T YOU DARE, COME BACK HERE!" Momo shouted and Rukia spun around.
"What do you want Momo?" Rukia asked and Momo came up to her and sank down to her knees and hugged her knees.
"Don't tell him please, I beg of you Rukia…please!" Momo pleaded and Rukia sighed in defeat. She hated she was too soft, not cold and willing. She brought Momo back up.
"Fine, but do not expect me to keep any more promises." Rukia said as she walked away and went towards Hitsugaya's office. When Rukia was out of sight Momo smirked.
"She's just too easy." Momo cooed as she went back into the room with Kira.
Rukia walked, more like stomped, to Hitsugaya's office and went in without knocking like she usually did. Hitsugaya looked up and saw Rukia close the door behind him and arch a brow at her angered expression.
"There isn't going to be a knock from you today?" Hitsugaya asked in a joking tone and Rukia looked up and smiled.
"Haha, very funny Hitsugaya, if you keep on joking, you might lose the gift I was going to give you." Rukia teased as she pulled up a chair and Hitsugaya saw Rukia open the silken scarf and give him a prized Kuchiki friendship bracelet. It was decorated with emeralds and had tiny diamonds surrounding it. He smirked when he saw the emeralds, knowing they were the Hitsugaya symbol and hers in rubies, the Kuchiki symbol.
"Thank you Rukia." Hitsugaya said as he put it on and Rukia put on hers.
"You're welcome Hitsugaya." Rukia said as she smiled at him and Hitsugaya couldn't help but feel the warm feeling he was getting around her. It had developed.
