That Time: Only You (A Bleach Love Story)

Chapter 14

Byakuya and I finished packing out clothes. He sent Orihime ahead and she left.

"Well, we have to lock the house..." I started thinking if I left anything on.

Byakuya looked at me and poked my cheek. "Blossom, stop thinking too hard. You heard Chii, Ryo is not at the World of the Living."

I sighed. "You're right. I'm just nervous is all. But still, we can't be too careful."

We both smiled and an awkward silence soon fell between us.

I couldn't help but think about the things Hisana told me.

"Blossom?" Byakuya said my name.

"Yeah?" I looked at him and he looked at me.

Byakuya quickly looked away. "I was wondering if you would want ti go on a da-"

The house door opened and Yumichika had arrived.

"Oh my! I'm glad you're still here. I didn't want to break in. I forgot my brush here from the last visit." Yumichima said.

Byakuya glared at Yumichika who didn't seemed to be affected by the glare at all.

"Never mind." Byakuya said, as he walked out the house.

Yumichika looked at me and smiled. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you both."

"I-It's fine. No need to worry. " I told him.

Wait, Yumichika was with Chii. Did he...

I looked at him and sighed. "Yumichika, where's Chii?"

"Oh, she fell asleep at Uryu's house." Yumichika said, as he picked up a brush.

"Hurry up, Blossom." Byakuya said.

I nod my head and handed Yumichika my keys. "Knowing you, you would wanna stay."

Yumichika smiled brightly. "Oh, you knos me too well."

He happily took my keys and pushed me out of my own home.

Byakuya looked at me and sighed. "It's getting dark. Although I'm feeling hungry. Let's see if we can find one of those street vendors."

"Yes. I'm getting hungry too." I smiled at him.

We both started to walk and Byakuya held my hand.

"Uhm..." I looked away and left my hand in his hold.

I glanced at Byakuya, he had his usual look.

How can he be suffering inside? He seemed so normal. Like the same Byakuya I knew. Then again, how would I see his pain if I only have eyes for Aizen?

"Blossom, I wanted to ask you out on a date. I have talked to Aizen about it." Byakuya suddenly said.

Byakuya is actually asking me out? Aizen agreed?

I moved my hand away from his. "Byakuya, I... I will think about it."

Rukia was watching eveything on Chii's mirror. Next to her were Renji, Chii, Ichigo, Aizen and Hisana.

"Is he going to back away again?" Ichigo sighed.

Hisana nods her head. "He doesn't want to force her."

"Yes. The more he allows her to think... I'd say the two will never be together." Aizen mumbled.

He looked away from the mirror.

Byakuya looked down, then grabbed my hand.

He pulled me close to him and hugged me.

Ichigo and Rukia's eyes widened.

"What?" Renji watched.

Aizen turned to watch as well.

"I'm sick of it. Why can't you understand how much I love you?!" Byakuya yelled.

He hugged me really tight.

My eyes widened, I could sense it. He's crying. ..

"Byakuya... don't please..." I said.

"I'm sick of it... I want you to be with me. I'll do anything... I won't love another." He said.

I felt him crying. I suddenly hugged him.

What can I do to fully understand his feelings...?
