Secrets chap 4
Kind of short but here is Secrets chapter four.
The Kuchiki siblings had been at the orphanage for a month and were now a normal part of my life. I instantly hit it off with Rukia quickly developing a love hate relationship in which we would fight at the drop of a pin and make up just as fast. I also noticed Ichigo taking a very keen interest in the new girl as well. In my opinion it was about time the boring goody two shoes got a girl to smooch. Anyway, Byakuya himself was a different story. He didn’t speak to anyone and always had this air like he was king of everything. According to Rukia this was a combination of having been rich and being Aizen’s favorite. Once at the lunch table he even had the nerve push me out of my seat so he could sit next to Rukia. Immature brat. I hated him but seeing as there was nothing I could do I resolved to grin and bear until Byakuya turned eighteen and left.
One night a few weeks later I was sleeping soundly before being rudly woken by a quiet sobbing on the other side of the room. Thinking that Yachiru, in the next room over, had another nightmare I left it up to Ishida who slept in her room to deal with. When the sobs were still going on half an hour later I decided to go find out what was wrong. Pushing back the covers I used my ears to tell me where the sound was coming from. Surprisingly I found myself at the foot of Byakuya’s bed. He was sitting with his back against the headboard looking out the window to the street below. Awkwardly I put a hand on his shoulder letting him know I was there. Startled he turned. “Are ya alright?” I asked. “Did ya get in trouble? Were ya hurt? Someone say no to adopting ya?” He shook his head ‘no’ to all my questions. Gesturing slightly he turned my attention to a couple of bags packed with his things. “I see you’re getting adopted and you don’t want to go. Well it will be ok. Is your sister going to?” I had a feeling of dread about losing this pair who had become such a part of my life. “Aizen.” Byakuya murmured. “Aizen is taking you back?” I shouted regretting my lack of volume control when I heard a sound from Rikichi. Byakuya nodded and burst into tears. The same boy who beat me up and acted so superior that I hated him was curled in my arms crying. The rest of the night was spent holding the boy as he cried.
