Description What happens when you...
want something but you...
can't because you have your pride...
and your confidence isn't that...
great because you made a promise to someone...
you loved dearly and you didn't want...
to go against it...what do you do....when you have your nobility
or your heart on the line?

Byakuya's POV

Work was slow today and I started to grow bored. The summer breeze swished past me, carrying the sweet smell of flowers with it. The smell reminded of Hisana's sweet scent of cherry blossoms in the springtime. I sat back in my chair and closed my eyes and thought back to her final words to me..."Take care of Rukia for me and remember...I will always be with you." It's kind of lonely without her by my side but I can't think about such trivial things right now. As sixth squad captain Byakuya Kuchiki, I must give an example to other captains and the Seireitei of how a real captain should behave. Sometimes, I wish I didn't have so much looming over my head right now. As thoughts was rushing in and out of my head, my door slid open and Renji appeared before me.
"What is it Abarai?" I asked nonchanlantly as I looked at him with my usual cold stare.
"The Captain-General wanted to see you" He said and I sighed heavily.
"Tell him I am on my way" I said and he nodded at me.
"Yes Captain" Renji said obediently and left.
I got up from my chair, dusted myself off and left out of my office, only to be greeted by that annoying pink hairball Yachiru.
"Hi Byakushi! Where you goin'?! Byakushi! Let's go eat! Let's go..." She started and I placed a donut in her mouth just to shut her up.
As I headed towards the office, I adjusted my scarf and opened the door to the first squad office to reveal Yamamoto-sama seated on a nearby couch sipping tea.
"Please be seated Byakuya" He said and as I sat down, I felt his spiritual pressure collide with mine.
"Renji said you wanted to see me about something" I said and he put down his tea gently on the table.
"We have been recently informed from Squad TenΒ Β that one of your subordinates have been killed in battle. Since you have the fewest squad members in your squad, I highly recommend that you find a new shinigami to take his place." He said and I nodded my head.
"Understood...I'll start right away" I said and he picked up his tea.
"Pick well Byakuya and don't let me down" He said and I got up and bowed.
"I shall take my leave now" I said and left out of the first squad office.
What am I supposed to do? I don't have time for such insolent matters. I have work to attend to and things I must run. It isn't my fault that he wasn't strong enough to hold his own but I must follow the rules even if it kills me. When I came back into my office, I sat down, picked up my calligraphy pen and started to attend to my work. After I am done with this I will find someone who is suitable to be in my squad and I hope that person is strong and wise or I will cut him down myself.

Akemi's POV
"You pasted the captain's exam Akane! I am so proud of you! Akemi, come aknowledge your sister with us" Mother said to me as she hugged my sister tightly.
Mother isn't our real mother but she gave us the love that our real mother didn't give when she abandoned us a long time ago. My sister Akane was always the brighter and much prettier sister while I was just the average girl you would normally walk past. Mother always loved her more than everything but she said to me when I asked her who she loved more that "she loved us both the same". I don't blame her for not looking at me in that type of light. I didn't do anything special to deserve praise or a hug. All I did was work in a teahouse not that far from the house since we don't have that much money coming in. The only one that loved me alot was Father. He was Mother's husband that passed away not that long ago from an illness caused from smoking alot. I made a promise to him that I will become a Captain one day and never to love a man so I can focus on my work but, it was robbed my sister. She took the Captain exam shortly after I applied for it and I don't take mines until tommorrow. I hope I pass the exam so I fulfill my dream, even if nobody praises me for it.
Akemi...good luck tommorrow and I hope you become Captain yourself" She said happily and I smiled back.
"I hope so too. What squad are you captain of?" I asked and she smiled and held the paper up to my face and it said "3" on it.
"You're captain of squad 3?!" I said, shocked to believe that she was good enough for that spot.
"Yup and I hope you become Squad 5 captain so I can see you everyday" She said and I laughed.
"I hope so too" I chuckled and she laughed right along with me.
"For that Akane, I'm going to make your favorite, curry" Mother said happily and went in the kitchen and began to cook for the celebration.
"I have to go outside and train" I said as I ran towrards the door and grabbed my zanpakutou to the backyard to train.
Why does good luck always follow her so much?! I have to suffer to only gat what I want! I wish I was like her! All she did was flaunt her style and this is what she gets out of it?! Why am I so angry? Why am I so mad? I wanted that 3rd squad post! I talked about it alot and she only did this just to rub it in my face that she is better than me! Why do I have to hide behind these smiles and laughs knowing that I am hurting inside? Father...why did you have to die so early when I needed you most to comfort me...to hold me...to love me....and to tell it was okay? As I trained outside, tears trickled down my face as if it will go on for eternity....
