A couple of weeks later, Byakuya collapsed on his futon with weariness. That day was full of events that he did not want to go through again. In the morning, Byakuya had to attend a meeting with the Kuchiki elders on the subject of his bride. Honestly, Byakuya did not find any interest in any of the young ladies of the older noble houses of Soul Society. What do they know about life? All they know is how to gossip, how to flaunt their wealth, and how to look good to uphold their families' name. Of course, the latter applied to Byakuya as well (he is a noble after all), but the way the women flaunt their wealth as a noble family was preposterous. Who goes around wearing expensive kimonos made of the finest fabric in the dead of summer? You'd get heat stroke from all those layers.
Then, a Hollow had appeared before 6th Division. Sakihama had been fighting it, but it had quickly overcome her. He arrived in time to finish it off, but it gave him a grueling fight. Even though he released his zanpaku-tou, it was a taxing fight. Now all Byakuya wanted to do was rest.
'Don't you want to go see your beloved Hisana, Byakuya-bo?' teased Senbonzakura.
Byakuya groaned mentally. 'Senbonzakura. I had a hard day dealing with the arrogant elders and battling that ridiculously strong Hollow. I'm not going to die in my sleep. I'll see her tomorrow…' Slipping under the covers on his futon, he sighed a little and drifted off to sleep…
DREAM
'Where am I?' Byakuya found himself on a grassy plain. Then, he realized that this was the plain in Inuzuri by the river where he and Hisana normally met. 'Why am I here?'
A familiar, but still slightly vague, reiatsu hit his senses. Instinctively, Byakuya's hand reached for Senbonzakura at his waist, only to find that he was without his zanpaku-tou. But Byakuya wasn't daunted. Even though Byakuya didn't have his zanpaku-tou, he had his kido, which he excelled at.
A sudden gleam. 'The stranger's armed,' thought Byakuya, raising his hand. But he never had to use the kido, for the person was…
"Hisana!" Byakuya's cry rang out into the silence. 'What's Hisana doing at night and armed?!'
Apparently, he was invisible to people here, and the people also couldn't hear him either; Hisana didn't hear him at all. Byakuya approached the young girl with an intention of wrenching the knife out of her hand. To Byakuya's surprise, his hand passed right through Hisana's like a ghost.
'Please, don't tell me that she is going to hurt herself…' Byakuya's fear became reality when he saw Hisana lift her yukata sleeve. He watched in horror as the blade created three prefect lines, adding on to the collection of cuts on her arm. What was worst was the distant smile Hisana wore through all this, as if she enjoyed the torture she was causing him to feel.
Then, Hisana turned to face him. She looked him in the eye with huge violet eyes brimming with tears of sadness, still wearing a distant smile. Hisana's gentle voice made Byakuya shiver when she quietly said, "It's because of you I'm so upset. Why can't I be together with you?"
END DREAM
Byakuya woke up with a start. 'Please, Kami-sama, please tell me that this was a horrible nightmare, and Hisana's not hurting herself…' He shook his head in vain, as if to empty it of the nightmare.
'No. Hisana wouldn't do that… would she?'
