Second Chance

"Kyo i was apologising to you!" Hanae stated as she moved out after him, "I was say sorry"



"Ginrei understood you were too old for Byakuya and suggested perhaps Shiba it would bring us all together" Yoruichi stated. "Also Kaien wishes to speak with you now go find him"

Shunsui picked up a bok.

Kyo sighed 'remember you are not the only person here who has been to soul society... i gave that life up to work here and protect you... remember that okay'



Renya looked back at Shunsui's door before sighing, seemed she couldnt have what she wanted

"I know.... i am sorry" Hanae replied touching his arm gently. "Please forgive me.... i have been selfish"



Yoruichi folded her arms waiting for Renya to leave.

Shunsui began to read.

Kaien was waiting on a bench outside he was not happy about this, he did not want to be tied down.... but it was for the good of his family.

Kyo sighed 'if you want to go back, you are going to have to appeal to your fathers good side'



Renya moved away she couldnt even say goodbye

"I know i will... but first i want to spend time with you" Hanae smiled, "Let me get dressed and we can go take a walk"



Kaien sighed heavily why did this happen to him... would she be all clingy to him?.

Yoruichi moved into Shunsuis room.

Shunsui looked up, "Yoruichi?"

"I am sorry" Yoruichi sighed.

Kyo smiled slightly 'yeah .... feeling better?'




Renya found him 'Shiba' she wasnt sure what to do

Hanae nodded and moved to take a walk with him.



"Shihion" Kaien stated, "I do not know what this marriage is for you... but this for me is just for my family"

Yoruichi sighed, "I have taken her away from you again... do not blame her it is my fault"

Shunsui looked down he had lost again.

Kyo walked with her unsure of what to do




Renya sat down 'i have to do it' she didnt look him in the eye

Hanae smiled, "I will apologise to my father and perhaps we can train tomorrow?" she asked Kyo.


"This is just for my family... i will not love" Kaien stated, "But i hope we can be civil in this pairing" he replied.

Yoruichi left a depressed Shunsui who would no doubt go back to his alcohol.

Kyo smiled 'yeah.. im happy to do that'



Renya nodded slightly keeping her eyes on her hands 'though you cant let anyone know that its like that'

Hanae smiled she stopped at the throne room where her father would be. taking a deep breath she knocked on the door.



Kaien nodded smiling, "And perhaps in secret we can find happiness elsewhere"

Yoruichi moved off home troubled.

the King told whoever it was to come in


Renya looked up hope 'perhaps this could work quite well.... but noone can catch us'

Hanae moved inside, "I came to apologise father.... i know you are very busy and i have been acting like a selfish child.... for that i am sorry"



Kaien smiled nodding, "Yeah this could.... i'm glad you understand"

Kyo looked up 'Hanae...'



Renya closed her eyes 'the burdens of my family seem to be weighing on my shoulders ... not my sisters'

Hanae bowed her out of respect she was trying to make amends.



Kaien sighed, "I know how you feel... Kukkaku is leaving it up to me"

The king stood up 'lets walk awhile' he would try too



Renya hung her head slowly 'Shunsui is going to be so upset' she whispered

Hanae smiled slightly, "I would like that"



Kaien sighed, "So is the girl i was dating"

the king moved sighing 'i had been thinking of why you are not happy here'



Renya sighed 'i do hope her...and Shunsui are not jealous... maybe marrying each other is the only thing we can do... to keep our own happiness secret'

Hanae looked up at him listening as she walked.



Kaien nodded, "Miyako will understand i am sure of it" he smiled at her, "Thank you Renya for agreeing to do this with me"

the king sighed 'and i dont get it... you have everything here'


'its the only option i have' Renya sighed slightly

Hanae sighed looking down, "I know i have everything i could ever wanted.... except real friends" she looked up at him. "I have the staff and maids and guards.... they are great company but at times they don't know what they can do.... with friends you're meant to be able too right? i want someone on equal level with me so... we could be able to say play fight and talk about things.... does that make sense?"


Kaien sighed, "I know.... well Kukkaku wants the marriage done by the end of the month i think"

the king sighed 'but that... that i cant give you'


Renya nodded 'let her and my sister go ahead planning our inevitable fate'

"I know" Hanae smiled sadly, "But perhaps your company a bit more will help.... i could perhaps help you with work..."


Kaien sighed "Indeed.... but least we can be friends"

'well you do need to learn these things' the king agreed


'you know you can never replace marriage right.... we will bound and no matter how much our other halves love us... there will always be jealousy' Renya sighed 'but this... this the best we can do'

"I know most of them.... i used to sneak in your office and try to figure it out myself to make you proud" Hanae chuckled remembering what she used to do.



Kaien sighed, "Indeed but we are trying" he smiled. "Hopefully that will be enough"
