First, before I start Chapter 3, I want to thank all my reviewers! You made me very happy. I had thought that this story wasn't that good, but with your brilliant reviews, I have been persuaded to go on.
Peridot0814:- I feel so honored to have a comment from you. I love your story, Promise Me. Thank you for pointing that out for me. :D
Knight771: I am glad you liked the beginning :D
sky1011: Too much hearts? Sorry! I won't add too much hearts anymore.
ILoveSnakes: Your review made me smile sooo much. I really wanted to bring out a Byakuya that was different from the Byakuya we know. I think that when he was with Hisana, he must've been happier and sweeter! ByaHisa equals love!

Five Things:
Chapter 3
Kuchiki Byakuya could feel his heart pumping violently. He had name only two of five things about Hisana, but he felt like his heart was going to burst of happiness. He didn't feel ashamed though. Hisana was the only woman who could ever make him feel this way.
Rukia, looking down at her hands, cleared her throat and her dear brother opened his eyes, realizing he had been stalling. She was getting impatient and fidgeting a little, but she comprehended his emotions.
"Hisana," said Byakuya. "was an artist."
Rukia looked up. "What type of artist? A painter?"
Byakuya nodded. "She could paint, sketch, and use a calligraphy brush like she'd done it her whole life. Your sister personally sewed her clothes and mine. She was good at embroidery and could knit."
Rukia made the 'o' shape with her mouth. "How fast did she learn this?"
"Your sister was a natural painter and sketcher. After watching me use the calligraphy pen a few times, she learned. As for sewing, she learned it by visiting the tailor department in the Kuchiki estate. Embroidery came naturally after she learned to sew and when I married her, she could already knit."
Rukia nodded then open her eyes wide. Her brother had never spoken in such length since he told her about Hisana for the first time.
Byakuya didn't notice her awe. He was too busy thinking about his wife.
Flashback
"Hisana," Byakuya stated as he entered their chamber, being followed by a servant. He looked at the corner of their big room to find Hisana leaning against the wall with a needle and thread. She looked up and her eyes lit up.
She moved her dark hair, which decided to fall back in place as she smiled. "Byakuya-sama, how was your day?"
He glided over gracefully and seated himself behind his coffee table. "Very, very long."
"That's why you are home so late. The Kuchiki Elders causing you more problems because of me?"
"No, the Sixth Division had a mix-up."
"Oh," she simply stated as she began sewing embroidering the edges of a dress.
"What have you been doing today?"
As she placed her project aside, she smiled. "Many things, but first let me serve your tea."
She brought the green tea ingredients and prepared it in front of him. Byakuya smiled. It was unique the way she did it. Either that or he was going crazy. She poured him a cup first and then hers. Looking up, she smiled at the servant. "Bring Byakuya-sama his mochi and wagashi."
"Hai, Hisana Josei," and the servant disappeared behind the doors, leaving the two love birds alone.
Byakuya sipped his tea slowly and observed Hisana, who was just blowing at it. She looked up and made a sad face. "Byakuya-sama, how can you drink that hot tea?"
"Practice, Hisana."
"I do!"
"Tell me what you did today."
"Umm." Hisana hummed as if she was thinking hard. Then she snapped her fingers. "Can I show you better?"
Byakuya nodded and she got up and glided across the room. She took out a piece of paper, that was folded in fourths, and handed it to him. He opened it and his face became warm. It was a painting of him. He seemed to be looking at himself in the mirror. How many times had she seen him to memorize every feature in order to paint this. Every single detail was delicately imprinted. The way she made his face amused him the most. He was smiling. Not a wide, happy smile, but a small smile. The one he usually gave her whenever he saw her. On the top right corner was a caption in Japanese. It said Byakuya-Sama, My Husband.
"How long did it take you?"
"Oh most of today. You like it?"
"Of course! What did you use?"
"I first sketched it, and then used watercolor to paint it. I am happy you liked it."
"I just wish you would add something."
"Please say whatever you wish."
"I wish you would add yourself next to me."
Hisana grinned. "I'll make another one of us two tomorrow. Anything else you'd want me to add, Byakuya-sama?"
"Yes, the caption. Please make it something special."
"Like," Hisana stated thoughtfully. "'The Lovers'?"
Byakuya looked at her for a long time and then shook his head. "Any other options?"
Hisana scratched her head and then her face lit up. "I know!"
"Continue."
"But, I won't tell you. Wait till tomorrow."
Byakuya attempted to glare at her, but her appearance stopped him. She looked adorable and was giving him these eyes that pleaded him to wait till the next day to find out. He could never give her a negative look.
"You want to see what else I did?"
He nodded his as she got up and glided to her cabinet. She opened it and grabbed a piece of cloth. When she opened it, he had to grin. She had made him a yukata. It was black with a white line around the neck collar and had a white obi.
"Since summertime is around the corner, I made it of thin cotton. I'll be working on a silk kimono soon."
Byakuya ran his hand through the material. "Thank you. It is well made. Are you making one for yourself?"
"Hai. I was embroidering the sleeve when you came."
He nodded. "You learn fast. In under a week."
"Don't underestimate me, Byakuya-sama. I am quicker than fast!" She grinned playfully.
He smiled as he gracefully finished his tea.
One maid entered with the mochi and wagashi. Hisana frown. "It took you guys too long. Byakuya-sama is already done with his tea."
"Forgive us, Hisana Josei," said the servant in despair. "The Lady of the House was there and inspecting."
Byakuya looked at the skittish maid. His grandmother was a cruel woman sometimes.
Hisana glanced at the maid and suddenly realized who she was talking about. "Don't worry! I am sorry for speaking in such manner to you. You look nervous. Calm down."
The maid bowed as she left the room. Hisana turned to look at Byakuya again. He was gazing at her. "What is wrong?"
Byakuya shook his head and thought for a moment. He looked up. "Does the Lady of the House cause you problem?"
Hisana shook her head quickly. "Don't think that."
Byakuya scoffed. Even if that crazy woman did, Hisana would never complain. That was just the way his wife was. His wife was perfect. Why did the Kuchiki Elders not see it and continuously make her life difficult?
"Byakuya-sama, I have caused you enough trouble. Please do not think in a negative way of your family."
"Hisana, you have not been a trouble to me."
Hisana frowned and looked at her hands. "I-I do not deserve this life. This life of riches and happiness. You know I don't. I cause the people I love pain. I know that the Kuchiki Elders are pestering you everyday. Your cousins are mocking you, too. It pains me, Byakuya-sama."
"Hisana," Byakuya said. "Look up at me."
Her tear-filled eyes met his grey eyes.
"You deserve this. You are everything to me. You are the only person I can demonstrate true feelings to without being back stabbed later on. I love you. Anyone who dares to hurt you will be crushed by me. You will live happily and you...You will find her."
A tear streamed down her cheek and she tried to smile.
"Wipe your tears. I don't like to see you crying."
"Thank you, Byakuya-sama. I think, thanks to you, I find the will to live everyday."
Byakuya smiled. She meant more than than the world to him. He would protect her and find her sister. He would bring smiles to both of their faces because whoever Hisana loved, he would love as well
