That Time: Only You (A Bleach Love Story)

Chapter 15

Aizen was staring out the window thinking about a lot of things. Behind him was Hisana.

"Are you regretting it?" Hisana asked.

Aizen turned to her and quickly looked away.

She stood next to him and looked out the window too.

"Don't regret it. We no longer live. It's better if we let them go to the ones they currently love now." Hisana told him.

This made Aizen sigh. "I'm worrying about this villain they will face. The cause of us to even breathe again."

Hisana looked at Aizen. "So, you accept it then?"

Aizen nods his head. "Might as well. I'm sure you watched my conversation with Byakuya. "

Hisana looked down. "About Ryo..."

Aizen glanced at Hisana.

Byakuya and I found a street vendor that was serving sweet rice balls and dumplings.

"Oh, yum!" I smiled as I ate the sweet rice ball.

Byakuya stared at the sweet rice ball and handed his to me. "I still don't like sweets."

I took his and ate it. "Yup. I keep forgetting."

He gave me a smile and held my hand.

I didn't agree with this, but I might as well try.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Byakuya asked.

I nod my head. "Yes. I never knew it was this fun to eat out with you."

Byakuya smiled. "I'm glad that you're enjoying this."

Chii was in the guest room by herself. She looked at her mirror and hugged herself.

"What have I done..?" She whispered to herself.

Uryu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Huh? Uryu..?" She looked at him.

"I brought you some snacks if you're hungry." Uryu said.

He placed the snacks in front of her.

"Oh! A-Are those jelly buns? I always wanted to try them." She said.

She took one and started to eat it.

But, she stopped and looked down. "Uryu..."

Uryu looked at her. "Yeah?"

"If you did something wrong... And you know how to make things right and you refuse to do it... I mean.. What would you do?" Chii asked.

Uryu thought about it and smiled. "Well, I would do the right thing."

Chii looked at the jelly bun and then at Uryu. "Right thing... Huh..."

Byakuya was holding my hand the entire time. He wanted us to even sleep in the same bed. I felt like he was going too fast.

"Blossom, what do you wanna do tomorrow?" Byakuya asked, as he gave me a smile.

I let out a sigh. "Tomorrow? Byakuya... We should worry about Ryo."

His smile quickly turned to a frown. "Blossom, do you really refuse to try?"

"I'm not refusing to try. It's just, we can't be having fun when someone like Ryo is out there." I told him.

Byakuya started to clench his fist, but my hand was being squeezed.

"Ow! Byakuya, that hurts." I told him.

I tried to move my hand away, but he started to walk. He dragged me all the way back to Uryu's house.

"Byakuya!" I yelled, as I moved my hand away.

He stopped and looked at me, as if he had forgotten I was there.

I held my hand and saw that it was red.

Byakuya looked down and held my hand gently. "I'm sorry... Everytime you reject me... My feelings, I get angry."

I looked at him. "Why do you get angry?"

"Because, I fully know what Aizen was capable of. You barely remember. When you reject me, it makes me feel like I should act like him. Just to see if you would start loving me as well." Byakuaya explained.

I laughed a little. "You think I love him because of how he acts? Byakuya, I love Aizen because he understood me. When we were introduced to each other, he refused our instant arranged marriage. He said he wanted to get to know me first." I told Byakuya.

Byakuya looked at me shocked as if I had said something wrong.

"Ah, but... you did try to understand me too, I'm glad." I said.

This made Byakuya smile.

Byakuya did try to understand me. But, I wonder if I actually fully understood him. Not just as memories, or people telling me things. But, as me alone.
