The Kuchiki scandal

"Please... take good care of him... i don't doubt for a second you wont... i..." Karui sighed looking down, "Look after them both"


Byakuya waited quietly.

Nanashi sighed 'no matter what i see what Byakuya-sama cannot, he is upset.... he wont say it, too much .. pride'



Ginrei made his way listlessly to the manor

Karui kept her head down just nodding slightly before she moved to sit down in her cell.


Byakuya was just waiting.

Nanashi moved slightly 'i'll take care of him......' and with that said she was gone


Hitsugaya was sitting outside, waiting...

"Good..." Karui whispered sitting herself down...
I wont be around much longer...


Byakuya looked up seeing Nanashi.

Nanashi moved out 'settled' she started to walk away



Hitsugaya made his way in slowly

Byakuya took her hand in his, "How what did you want to ask?" he asked her softly.



Karui buried her head in her hands just staying like that.

'ah...' Nanashi looked down 'well... i shamed myself i know, i was beaten, we both know that you stepped in because you had to'



Hitsugaya didnt know what to say, he looked at her now.. he felt his heart heavy...

"Spit it out" Byakuya urged gently.



Karui sighed softly... she wondered how long it would take to starve herself to death seeing as that looked the only option to kill herself in here.

'well.... i' Nanashi looked away from him 'remember, you said that you were jealous of Rizu.. when he was training with me?... i'



Hitsugaya knelt down 'Karui' he spoke

"Would you like me to train you?" Byakuya asked.



Karui froze she slowly looked up, "T-Toushiro..." she whispered.

Nanashi blushed slightly and looked down, so he was getting what she was hinting, she nodded once not looking up at him


Hitsugaya looked sad he wanted to touch her 'why?'

"Of course i will help" Byakuya smiled kissing her cheek,



"In all honesty... i don;t understand myself why i did what i did" Karui replied as she looked away, "All i can say right now... is sorry" she whispered.

Nanashi didnt look up 'i.. i shame you i cant even beat a human.... you.. are ten times stronger than me' she was ashamed of it 'and i call myself a covert operative'



'i... i thought youd died.... you left me all alone' Hitsugaya whispered

"It had nothing to do with that" Byakuya stated, "That human had abnormal powers i suspect he already had some form of shinigami powers before hand"



"Is it wrong of me to wish i had died?" Karui whispered very softly not looking at him.

Nanashi looked down 'doesnt change the fact that i prided myself on being a ruthless .... well... killer, and here i am realizing that maybe i never was a ruthless nor as strong as i thought i was'


'i love you... dont you love me enough to hang on' Hitsugaya couldnt look at her, he thought she didnt love him anyways, because she had left him

"You will get stronger, i will see to it" Byakuya stated.



"Toushiro... i love you with all my heart" Karui breathed out feeling the tears swell up in her eyes, "It hurts me so much i can't give you more.... though you said you don't mind... it still hurts me" she wiped her eyes from the tears that were falling, "You deserve so much more... i... i can't fight anymore...." she started to sob into her arms, "I can't do it... i'm not strong.... its so hard Toushiro... so hard..." she whispered in her sobs.

Nanashi started to move, she said nothing more on the matter, she now had a scar on her chin to remind her that she wasnt strong enough


'its not for you to decide what i deserve... i wanted you isnt that enough' Hitsugaya whispered

Byakuya walked with her silently.



Karui just cried in her arms, she gripped at her clothing shaking.

Nanashi sighed to herself.



Hitsugaya sighed 'what can i do to make you smile'

Byakuya hugged her gently, "Come on"




"Hold me one last time" Karui whispered she honestly was going to kill herself or attempt to... with the illness and everything that has happened and almost loosing her zanpackto spirit forever... it made her need help she wasn't mentally stable anymore.

Nanashi moved nodding



Hitsugaya looked down, with the barrier up it was impossible

"Now how do you feel about me cooking us dinner tonight" Byakuya replied.



"I love you Toushiro..." Karui whispered, "I... i think i am going to sleep now... so... goodnight" she stated before she moved to the corner of her cell... she only had a chair.

Nanashi looked up 'eh?'.


Hitsugaya sighed 'Karui... i cant..'

"Me cook dinner for us" Byakuya stated.



"Its fine.... go home get some rest" Karui replied softly.
