The Kuchiki Scandal

Nanashi looked up at him, he was being so nice to her 'thank you, you didnt have to'



Ginrei nodded 'i whole heartedly agree actually'

"Well i wanted to" Rizu smiled.



"I am glad you do... i know i cannot repay for what i have done but i will make sure she is protected and happy from now on" Byakuya replied you could see he meant every word. "I noticed you placed the plushie in her arms...." Byakuya sighed, "It is unfair if she does indeed have her mothers illness... i will have to consult Retsu... has she been asleep without waking up at all since i left?"

Nanashi half smiled under his mask 'thank you'



Ginrei nodded 'shes rested the entire time'

Rizu turned his back so she could eat he knew she didnt like drawing down her mask.



"Then i believe we both know it is true... do we tell her?" Byakuya asked.

Nanashi looked down slightly 'thank you'


'the truth, she will understand' Ginrei smiled

"No need for thanks" Rizu replied.



"I cannot be the one to tell her..." Byakuya looked down when he heard of his mothers illness he was devastated... "The other issue i would like to discuss is that of Nanashi... I fear i really do hold feelings for her"

Nanashi set down the food 'it was very thoughtful'


Ginrei sighed heavily 'Byakuya.... i warned you'

"Im glad you liked it" Rizu smiled.



"Cant i see her in secret" Byakuya pleaded slightly it was rare he would show such an interest in one woman it was clear he liked her.

Nanashi nodded 'very thoughtful'


'you cant marry her, so why waste your time' Ginrei sighed

"Ah stop it" Rizu chuckled.




"Just let me have this happiness..... please" Byakuya sighed, "A few months thats all i ask... once they are up i will stop"

Nanashi looked across back at the food, she was still in a little bit of heartache



'can you give her up at the end?' Ginrei asked 'it would be cruel for both of you to have each other for months then be away from each other'

Rizu was waiting patiently.




"Or... I have an idea... what if SoiFon adopts her... then she becomes a lower class noble... though it would be real low it would still be acceptable to have relations with her" Byakuya stated.

Nanashi sat down 'you can come in if you want'


Ginrei looked up a little shocked 'are you serious?'

"Thanks" Rizu smiled as he walked inside.



Byakuya nodded, "Then also if i marry... i can produce heirs later on in time of course... then Karui wont be hounded by the elders like my mother was"

Nanashi moved a few things so he could



'are you honestly this serious?' Ginrei was taken aback by the length he was going

Rizu came inside and asked if he could sit on the chair.



Byakuya nodded, "I am positive"

Nanashi nodded 'sure'


'bring her here' Ginrei sighed 'right now'

Rizu smiled, "Cheers"



Byakuya sent word by hell butterfly.


Karui stirred as she finally woke... she felt much better after the nap.

Nanashi looked up 'ive been called, sorry' she opened the door 'ill have to go'


Ginrei just waited closing his eyes

Rizu nodded, "Ill just leave... ermm have a nice day" he smiled as he left.



Byakuya sat in silence.


Karui smiled she decided she would go for a walk it was nice outside.

Nanashi flashstepped off and knocked on the door, her heart was pounding in her chest


Ginrei was thinking


Rena showed up 'ahh morning' she chuckled

"Enter" Byakuya stated.




Karui smiled, "Morning... i was just going for a walk... i wont be long okay"

Nanashi opened the door and knelt down

Ginrei stood up 'come here?'

Nanashi bowed her head but she came closer



Rena smiled 'i'll come with you, in the gardens'

Byakuya wondered what Ginrei was going to do.




Karui shook her head, "No its okay... i want to go visit my captain he is always nice to converse with"

'has anyone seen your face?' Ginrei stated

'Soifon-taichou and Kuchiki-sama are the only two' Nanashi answered her voice was calm but inside she was confused



Rena sighed 'please wait for Ginrei-sama hes with someone else at the moment but he wants a word with you too'
