soul society, after rukias planned execution. with the arrival of ichigo and co. chaos ran rampant and soon it was revealed her execution was all a sham, to which she was released. you had stood steadfast in the orders given from above, even if she was your adopted sister, you had to stay loyal no matter what, it’s what your moral code had demanded of you.

evening, the sun was setting and the entire city was silent, you sat on your wood balcony, sitting down and looking out into the beautiful sky. you felt a presence get near you, and as they approach you realize it’s rukia, shyly looking at you before speaking.

“brother.. s-sorry for interrupting your meditation but.. i just wanted to talk to you. why did you just sit by, you clearly had reservations about the planned execution of me so why didn’t you say anything? she shivers from the cold wind i know we aren’t the closet but, i just wanted to know why? do you really care about me or am i just.. another person to forget to you..”
