Lies beneath the truth

Ukitake struggled 'Shunsui stop it! let me have my say... the way you act its like you WANT to defend her? you love her or something?!'

Renya froze... that was a bad thing to say

Shunsui slapped Ukitake, "Get a hold of yourself... im thinking of you Ukitake... Retsu would scold me for letting you do this... and not to mention if Byakuya put you in fourth it wouldnt help things" he stated pushing Ukitake away.

Byakuya felt his eye twitch... Shunsui didnt still love her did he?

Ukitake pulled himself drunkenly from Shunsuis grasp 'DONT LIE ... your protecting her! if you were thinking of me, youd let me hit her... i have no life anymore... not if Hanae dies'

Renya looked away, this was surely annoying her husband

"Do not waste your time over woman Ukitake... they only break your heart" Shunsui said bitterly, "And dont be so melodramatic... the world would still move is Hanae dies she is just a woman...." Shunsui sighed, "That has cause too much trouble... especially to you" Shunsui stated still pushing Ukitake away... he had to say those things even if it meant Ukitake would hate him it did distract him from Renya.

Byakuya was surely getting annoyed at this you could see his hand itching towards his zanpackto.

Ukitake clenched his fists 'shes not just a woman! shes the love of my life'

Renya couldnt help herself when she heard that 'Shunsui.... i never meant to break your heart if thats what you mean' her voice was rather calm

Shunsui sighed he didnt say anything he just dragged Ukitake away though he didnt go to 8th or 13th.


Byakuya was clearly annoyed he turned his back on the scene and just walked inside.

Ukitake stopped struggling 'what did she mean?'


Renya covered her mouth with her hand why did she say that.. now Byakuya would be upset with her

"Nothing" Shunsui sighed as he pulled Ukitake inside fourth and found Unohana, "Im sorry Retsu... could you look after him... he went to look for a fight with Renya and Byakuya"



Byakuya sat down and sipped at his tea... it was bugging him.



Hanae had ended up falling asleep at the slit in the wall.

Unohana sighed 'what were you thinking?'

Ukitake actually cried 'i just... its painful'


Renya moved inside and sat down opposite Byakuya

Shunsui sighed, "I managed to stop him before it escalated... he is in a state and is drunk"



Byakuya was quietly sipping his tea.

Unohana had to hug him 'ahhh shhh shhh its ok cry' she rubbed his back shrugging slightly to Shunsui



Renya sighed softly 'thank you'

Shunsui looked down, "Sorry for putting this on you... i just didnt know what to do"



"For what?" Byakuya asked.

Unohana shook her head 'its alright, i dont mind'

Ukitake wasnt listening he just cried



Renya looked away 'defending me'

Shunsui sighed and sat down... "Im sorry for what i said Uki... i know you love her"




"I didnt do much to defend you... someone beat me to it" Byakuya stated.

Ukitake sighed wiping his eyes 'its not fair Shunsui... you dont know what its like waiting for someone you love'


Renya felt her heart drop.. was he bitter?

"I do.... i loved Renya" Shunsui sighed, "But she does not love me... i waited for her but when she came it was to tell me it was off... though i acted as if it was fine... it really wasnt" he replied placing his head in his hands.




Byakuya stood up, "I am going to bed" he stated before he left.

Ukitake put his head down further... remembering all the things he had said 'oh god.... im sorry'


Renya stood up to follow him

"Its fine you are hurting... i know what its like" Shunsui replied.




Byakuya moved to their bedroom and got changed for bed.

Unohana sighed 'my my.. boys what are you like?'

Ukitake sighed 'its not fair Retsu.. its not fair'



Renya followed him into their bedroom, he was in a mood with her... as if she wasnt worrying about things enough

Shunsui chuckled, "You know us Retsu" he smiled slightly.




Byakuya was laying down on their bed with his eyes closed.

Unohana sighed 'really boys howd you end up like this?'

Ukitake sighed 'its slightly different... Renya got married..... Hanae is going to die..... Renya left you selfishly'


Renya changed and climbed into their double bed, turning her back to him, she really just wanted to cuddle him

"I will move on... im sure" Shunsui smiled, "But... Ukitake... im sorry but i do not know about you... you have waited for her for 90 years" he sighed.



Byakuya didnt say anything he just kept his eyes closed.

'if you havent moved on now.. you wont' Ukitake sighed 'Renya has been married about 90 years now... me i dont want to move on'



'Byakuya' Renya whispered

Shunsui sighed, "I know... i know"



"What?" Byakuya asked.

Ukitake sighed 'its really not fair'



'are you mad at me?' Renya asked her back still to his back her voice sounded pretty weak compared to normal
