[Rukia had been at the head clan's estate for a week now, her will still strong and refusing to move out of her room, not even at the beckoning of the servants or Jii-sama. The days seemed to stretch by, hours blending into one another, her time there meaning Byakuya had not changed his mind on Ichigo or Ggio ( Read more... )

[Every day for the past week, Renji had presented himself at the Kuchiki estate, demanding to see Rukia. Every day, he'd been turned away, told politely but firmly that "Kuchiki-dono isn't accepting any visitors right now", which Renji knew really meant "She doesn't want to see you". He'd tried arguing, ordering, threatening, bribing and even begging, but none of it made a difference. The servants were sympathetic, but immovable. Part of what they were paid for was keeping out riffraff like him.

He couldn't blame Rukia for not wanting to see him. He knew he'd really screwed up this time. No matter how mad he was at Ichigo, he never should have taken it out on her; she deserved better than that. Better than him. All he wanted now was the chance to apologize ( ... )

[She could hear him. Despite being in her room, despite being away from everyone, she could still hear him. And hearing him made her heart ache. It was ripping her apart, to hear him call for her, and his refusal to budge until she'd come see him.

She didn't want to see him. Seeing him meant she'd break, be weak, it'd prove to others that she wasn't capable of being on her own, like before. Unknowingly, however, her feet were moving forward of their own accord, across the room, to the door, and opening it. She was halfway through the gardens before she realized where she was, or what she was doing.

Her voice was strained, but she spoke regardless.]

Renji...

[At the sound of his name, he fell silent, his angry protests cut off mid-sentence. The sight of her was like a punch to the gut, stealing the air from his lungs and leaving him breathless. It took all the self-control he had not to go to her right then. He had to force himself to stay where he was, clenching his hands into fists to keep from reaching for her.

He'd thought he was prepared to see her, but now that he was here, all the carefully prepared speeches he'd rehearsed that were supposed to make her fall weeping into his arms had flown out of his head. He hated seeing her like this, hated himself for being part of the reason she looked so sad. So hurt.

When he spoke, he couldn't keep the agony out of his voice.]

Rukia.

[She wouldn't run to him, she wouldn't run to him, she wouldn't run to him. The sound of his voice coming to her ears was painful, and she did all that she could to stop herself from moving towards him.

Her voice is firm, unwavering.]

You've seen me. Just go.

[But the look in her eyes betrays her words, and it's clear to see, even for him. They're full of pain, and hurt. She wants him there. She wants him to comfort her, to tell her that even though everything's falling apart, he'll be there for her.

"Stay with me, please."

But her will is stubborn, and she can't say that. Her head is shouting "Go, turn away, and leave him there." But her feet won't move, and she stands there, finally looking downwards and away, trying to hide the truth that's clearly seen in her eyes.]
