Too long….. Its been since I was last here huh?
A random drabble this time….
Hope you like it!
It was the night before the new year and Matsumoto was once again trying to pursued me into going to a party she had thrown together with Abarai, Yumichika and Madarame. How they can continue to survive and withstand her drunken state is always something I could never understand,
Finishing up with the last of my paperwork I was once again interrupted by my lieutenant.
"Come on taichou! Please come to the party!!! It's new years! It'll be fun!"
"No Matsumoto"
"Then how about think of it as a celebratory occasion to Soul Societies win over the war with Aizen!"
"I still say no"
"But taichou!"
"That's enough Matsumoto! I'm not going and that's final!"
"Fine! You're such a party pooper taichou!" and running out of the room before I could yell at her again for calling me names, I was left alone.
Was it so bad that I wanted to be alone? Tch she should know me by now I don't go to parties.
Growling with a frown on his face Hitsugaya cursed at the fact that he could no longer concentrate on his work and with a sigh he decided a little time out of the office would do him some good. Making his way out of his division the tiny captain searched his memory for a place that would help him calm down,
"Moon Gleam Lake" a whisper on his lips and off he shunpoed, Moon Gleam Lake was the only lake in Soul Society that wasn't surrounded or near a town or district but completely isolated by a thick forest that ran itself like a maze. It was called thus since only at night did the lake shine and gleam. And it was one of the places that Hitsugaya took pride in the fact that he was one of the few who had knew of it, others didn't know because they didn't know the lake existed.
Shortly after his departure Hitsugaya had arrived at the said destination and was quite happy at the fact that he was the only one there, of course most if not all of Soul Society was out partying. Making his way to the edge of the lake, the young white haired captain sat down and closed his eyes to the silence he loved.
Soon before he knew it, his consciousness fell and he drifted off to sleep.
It wasn't as if I didn't want to go but I couldn't.
"Sorry Renji but I can't go I have too much work to do before morning"
"Don't be like that Rukia, come on!"
"No, Ukitake-taichou put a lot of trust in me as his lieutenant to get these papers in, I'm not going to let him down"
"Tch, fine I get it"
"Maybe some other day we can hang out"
"Yeah sure, later"
"Later" watching his back shunpo away towards the new years party I couldn't help but feel a bit sad that I was going to miss it, but like I said my taichou gave me his trust and I won't let him down.
And so Rukia worked diligently until the last piece of paper was signed and ready to be sent out the nest morning, sighing at her good work a smile crept onto her face at the proud smile her taichou would give her, but looking out at her desk beside her captains larger one Rukia thought
"Maybe I still have enough time to make it to the party" turning to see the clock on the wall she had plenty of time, new years was still hours away.
Closing the door behind her Rukia shunpoed towards the party destination Renji had given her earlier, just a few minutes after her leaving Rukia was quickly closing the gap of her division quarters and the party when a light sense of an oddly familiar reiatsu reached her. Stopping the petite shinigami on the roof of a house, looking out for the source the girl saw that it was coming from a place far from her destination but curiosity got the better of her and soon Rukia was off in the direction west of the party.
Upon arriving Rukia saw a scene like no other, isolated by a thick fog of forest trees lay a glittering lake of shining ice blue water the moon in its mouth, wavering to and fro, the silence that fell over the lake was unlike anything the petite girl had heard it was an overly oppressive loneliness and yet a sense of calm and peace like no other.
"Where am I?" suddenly a movement to the right of the edge of her orbs took her attention and then just as fast a weight pushed her to the ground under her feet.
Sleep had never been so kind to him as it had that moment before the sudden surge of reiatsu ran and pulsed through his body waking him instantly, years of intense training and simple reflex had him moving before his mind could follow and a fellow shinigami under him.
"Who are you!"
"K-Kuchiki Rukia, Hitsugaya-taichou!"
"Hmm? Kuchiki?" staring into deep purple that he had only seen on one person, the young captain realized it was Kuchiki Rukia he had attacked and had pinned.
"Um taichou could you get up?" blushing a little at their position, Rukia saw a light form of a shade of pink to the captains face but just as soon as it had come it was gone, as well as the weight of the younger boy.
"What are you doing here Kuchiki?" walking over to the edge of the lake Hitsugaya avoided looking at the older girl, even though his face was clear of any form of blush.
"I was on my way to a new years party when I felt reiatsu over here, I thought it might be someone in need of help since this place is far from Soul Society" that wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the truth either. If she told him she got curious she knew in a heart beat the captain would scold her about being too impulsive and could have been killed by a creature or something.
Still with his back turned, the only movement the girl got was a nod of stark white hair, then silence…….awkward silence.
"Umm taichou may I ask why you were out here?"
"I needed silence" quick to realize that was a 'go away' from the captain Rukia took it to heart and bowed
"Then I'll leave you, excuse me" turning on her heel the petite shinigami was about to leave when
"I never said that Kuchiki"
"H-hai?"
"Leave or stay its your choice, I'm not your captain" falling back the white haired boy once again sat down, after a few seconds of silence he heard footsteps and then a ruffle of clothing. She choose to stay.
Why did I stay? This is Hitsugaya-taichou…all he wants is peace and quiet, not that I can't do that but why did I have to stay when I don't need to? Rukia couldn't put her finger on the reason but somehow it seemed as if a light hand was pulling her towards the cold captain, making her sit beside him rather than far from him.
Of course just as she was thinking this the latter of her thoughts was thinking the same.
Why did I say that? She has no purpose here and there's nothing I have to say to her so why in the hell did I? besides we're not even friends and have hardly spoken to each other, trying to make sense of the random urge to tell her to not leave Hitsugaya and Rukia had once again developed an awkward silence the both of them were too engrossed to acknowledge. When
Rukia was over come with an urge to fill this quietness with something,
"Hitsugaya-taichou if you look up I think that's the 'Big C-D-S-Sipper' I once saw in Ichigo's text book"
"What?" turning to look at the raven head pointing up at the sky, he turned his eyes to the stars with question
"The Big Sipper is a bunch of stars that helped people escape from a- a….."
"A what?" damn curiosity.
"Heheh I forgot" an lop sided smile fell on the girls face and another urge filled Hitsugaya, an urge to face palm.
"And what is the point you bringing this up, Kuchiki?"
"Well I- just thought you'd want- well…I don't really know actually"
A sigh was let out from the young captain's lips "I never thought you'd be this odd Kuchiki"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"…." not knowing how to answer Hitsugaya stayed quiet. Gaining a smile from the girl.
"And that one beside it is the Little Sipper" pointing at the cluster of stars, Hitsugaya felt his eyes look up
"I don't see it"
"It's right there, by the handle of the bigger one"
"I still don't-"
"Here let me" getting up Rukia sat behind Hitsugaya and gently for as if it were her sworn duty to make the captain see the stars, placed her hands on the side of the latter's head
"Kuchiki-!"
"Look up right there!" placing her head beside the captain's she missed a light blush on the boy's face. "Do you see it Hitsugaya-taichou?"
"Y-yeah" sort of.
"I don't remember what that little one was for but I thought since I told you about the bigger one you'd care for the other one"
"Thanks Kuchiki"
"E-eh?" did he just say thank you to her?! Hitsugaya Toushiro thanking Kuchiki Rukia?! But Hitsugaya Toushiro never thanks anyone unless called for.
"I said thanks" his voice high in an light annoyance
"R-right" slowly making her way back to her seat suddenly Rukia felt a pull at her sleeve, "Hitsuga-"
"Stay…"
"E-eh?"
"Don't make me repeat myself Kuchiki" looking at the young captain sitting with his back towards her Rukia let her eyes linger on his sign, 10.
Heh although he tries to be older and cold to everyone he's still just a little kid…
"Okay, Hitsugaya" a smile reached his face, just the same with Rukia. "And over there is called the Lion, and the twins and-" Rukia went on and on not noticing the smile on the boy's face. He didn't know why he wanted the girl to sit close to him, just that she was an odd person…but also comforting.
Yeah that was it, Kuchiki Rukia was comforting.
Me- sorry my train of thought sort of left me and it turned out like this….it's really bad and has no point heheh
but I do know it's the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper so don't go telling me I don't know k?
Sorry but review! Please!
