Lies Beneath The Truth

Hanae smiled softly this was nice.




Shunsui offered her some sake.

a small cough was heard from the door


Renya looked up at him 'hey... Shunsui... i did the right thing right.. i mean.. i did a good job.. didnt i?'

Hanae looked over at the doorway still holding Ukitakes hand.




"I said it before and i still stand by it, you did a good job it was the right thing to do" Shunsui smiled.

Unohana was standing there arms crossed 'oh no, dont mind me'

Ukitake blushed slightly 'ehhh Retsu-chan'



'i was doing my job right' Renya stated more to herself than him

Hanae blushed avoiding Unohanas gaze.




Shunsui squeezed her hand gently in response.

Unohana moved in 'can i examine my patient now?'

Ukitake nodded and moved away though he reluctantly and very slowly let go on Hanae's hand




Renya stood up slowly, letting her hand part with his '.. i... i did the best i could'

Hanae stayed silent she wanted this over and doing with so she could grasp Ukitakes hand again.



"Renya talk to me... whats bothering you?" Shunsui asked.

Unohana smiled as she started to examine her 'though it was cute at least, not vulgar'




'she begged me Shunsui.... but my life was on the line' Renya sighed 'youve got to understand it wasnt my job or my families name being tarnished, it was my life too'

Hanae smiled slightly still blushing.




"I do undertsnad im sure if you told her that she would of understood too" Shunsui replied.

Unohana smiled and stepped back 'tomorrow morning, you are free to leave, ill have dinner brought for both of you tonight'



'it makes a difference... if i... me.. am scared of losing my life when it most counts Shunsui, when its the right thing to do' Renya stated

Hanae smiled, "Thank you.... i have never felt better i can breath more easily again"



Shunsui moved and hugged her, "I will be here for you whether you want me to or not"

'now let me ask while im here, is it the same for loverboy' Unohana shot at Ukitake

'oh i am feeling well today Retsu-chan' Ukitake smiled nervously



Renya was shocked, but it didnt show on her face 'Shunsui.. people will see us'

Hanae was confused, "Why would he have trouble breathing?" she asked softly.




Shunsui let go slowly, "Forgive me but i still stand by what i said"

Unohana looked over at her 'he hasnt told you?'




Renya looked up at him, silently thanking him with the softness in her eyes.. in her expression

"Told me what?" Hanae replied




Shunsui smiled at her, "You okay now?"

Ukitake looked down 'i .. i have TB'



'when have i not been okay Shunsui... im a Shihōin princess' Renya stated

"Ohh you could of told me" Hanae smiled, "It wouldnt have changed a thing" she spoke softly... "I will always look after you"



Shunsui nodded, "Yeah i know but you can still talk to me you know that"

Ukitake smiled 'i dont need looking after, i wouldnt worry you'


Renya smiled ever so slightly 'im okay Shunsui'

Hanae smiled, "Well i will do because i want to not because i have to but because i want to"



Shunsui smiled, "Thats good to hear"

Ukitake smiled slightly 'im alright, but thank you'


Renya sighed slightly 'i wonder how the Punishment force is dealing without me today'

Hanae smiled, he could be so cute sometimes.




Shunsui chuckled, "They can survive without you im sure"

Unoahana smiled 'alright if that is all i will take my leave'


'though i am second in command in name, in reality i am practically Commander in Chief' Renya stated

"Have a nice night" Hanae smiled.




Shunsui chuckled, "Its not so bad is it?"

Unohana moved and left the rom



'not at all, i enjoy my work' Renya stated

Hanae smiled at Ukitake, "Come over here"




Shunsui chuckled, "It looks kinda hard"
