Chapter Seven
(The chain is gold but since Byakuya is a male and he's mainly it's going to be a silver chain.)

I couldn't believe it. I had a crush on my Captain. But it all makes sense. He helped me. He never thought I was dirty. He saved me. He was my hero. I felt my cheeks burn like lava as I stood in front of my friends, shocked." Oh my god....I have a crush on my Captain...." I said. Rukia smiles." That's good! You two would be so cute together!" She said. I didn't know what to do." What should I do?" I asked." Tell him!" Rangiku said. I blushed even more." W-what? N-no! I just found I like him. I can't tell him! Besides, he's my Captain!" I said. Rukia thought for a moment." I know! How about you get him a gift?" She suggested." That's..actually not a bad idea." I said. Rangiku smiled." Then It's settled! Let's go get him a gift!" She said, pulling us along.
While Rangiku and Rukia were going through some clothes that Byakuya might like, I was looking at somethings he actually likes that I know for a fact. Cherry Blossoms. There were necklaces, rings, charms, tons of things. I didn't know what to get him. I picked up a ring (which was in mens size) and a pin. It had the cherry blossom branch with the flowers and it had a ring around it. I wanted to get him something else but I didn't know what. Until I saw it. A cherry blossom in a sliver chain. It suited him. I then got it. I looked it over. It was beautiful." Beautiful isn't it?" I looked up and saw a woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She was smiling." Yes it is." I said." I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude. I happen to be the owner of this shop and I couldn't help but notice how much you admired it." She said. I smiled." Yeah. I just realized that this guy, who's cared for me so much, is the person I like." I said. She smiled." Then for you, they're free." My eyes widened." Oh n-no! I couldn't possibly do that!" She smiled." I'm the owner so it's okay!" She said. I still couldn't do it. I gave her some money." Please just take it. It would bother me if I just took it." I said. She smiles." Fine. Here's a box for you for your loved one." I blushed when she said 'Loved One'." Thank you." I said. I met up with Rangiku and Rukia." Ooh~! What'd you get him?" Rangiku asked. I smiled and put a finger to my lips." Not telling~!" I said. Rukia smirked." Well you can tell me since he's my brother-!" I stopped her." No. But I might need you and Renji's help." I said. Rukia smirks." This is getting interesting! I'll help too!" I smiled." Alright. Let's get to Renji and tell the plan."
Byakuya's p.o.v.
I was in my office doing my paperwork. It was quiet, which was unusual since Renji wasn't here. I suddenly stopped when I heard running footsteps." Captain!" Renji said. Never mind." What is it, Renji?" I asked, calmly." Someone wanted me to give you a gift." I stopped, looking up at him." A gift?" I asked. He nods. He hands me a black box with a white top and a black ribbon. I opened it and was surprised to see a ring with a cherry blossom flower. The ring was in the shape of a branch." Who's it from?" I asked. He cleared his throat." I'll read.
Dear Captain,
I apologize for not giving it to you in person but I had to help Rukia with something. When I was going to come and bring it to you, Captain Ukitake and Kyōkaru wanted me to help them with something too. So instead I wrote this for you and had Renji give it to you. I hope it is to your liking. If you do not like any of them then please tell me and I'll make you something you like.
From, Hana." I blinked. Hana? Them? I looked down in the box and saw a necklace and a pin. She did this for me?" Did she say why?" I asked. He clears his throat again." Page two.
If you're asking Renji why I did this, which is mostly likely what you did, I will tell you. You helped me. You trained me. You saved me. You were the one person besides my grandfather who I could open up with. You accepted me into your squad and helped me to where I am today. You never saw me as a lower class, you never saw me as a dirty person, you saw me as a regular person. And for that I am grateful. Which is why I gave you some gifts. I wanted to repay you by I didn't know how. And do I got you a few gifts in case you didn't like one of them." Renji finished."...Stay here." I said, taking the box." W-where are you going, Captain?" He asked." I have some errands to do. Do some work while I'm gone." I said." Yes Sir!" He says. I then flash stepped out the office.
Hana's p.o.v.
I sighed, feeling relaxed as I sat near the koi pond that was in a garden. There were trees hung above he pond, making a shadow loom over it. The sun was setting, making the pond look more beautiful as the lights around it start to shine on it. The sun finally set and the pond was beautiful. The sound of rushing water calmed me as well as the sound of koi fishes swimming. I felt someone sit down next to me." So this is where you've been." Captain Kuchiki says. I smiled." Yeah...Captain Ukitake told me I was welcomed here. It's calming to me." I said. He hums." I'm assuming you got my gifts?" I asked, feeling my cheeks heat up heavily but I pushed it down." Yes." He said. I gulped softly." What do you think?" I asked." You didn't have to get me anything to tell me something." He said. I smiled, feeling a strand of hair fall in front of my face." But I felt like I owed you for everything you did for me." I said. He hummed. We sat there, looking at the pond. It was peaceful. I then got up." Well, I guess I should go get some rest. I'm sorry you didn't like the gifts." I said, bowing to hide my tears and red face. I started walking away but stopped when I felt a hand on my wrist." I didn't say I didn't like them. I said that you didn't have to get me anything." He says. I turned toward him." So you do like them?" I asked. He nods. I smiled." I'm glad. I knew you liked cherry blossoms like I do and I thought-" I stopped when he held my hand open. I blinked confused." Close your eyes." He said. I closed them. I felt something in my hand. I opened it and gasped. It was a little bottle with a cherry blossom tree with little cherry blossoms." Did you...make this?" I asked, shocked." Yes. Ironically, it was to make you feel better after we got you back. When I saw you so broken by the fact Aizen did that to you, I didn't like it. I like it better when you smile, not frown." I blushed. Damn it Captain. You're making me fall for you." Promise me to keep being you. Keep smiling." He says. I nodded." Y-Yes sir." I said. We walked back to the barracks. He walked me to my room to make sure nothing happened. I thanked him before closing the door. I leaned against the door, running a hand through my hair, blushing. Why does Captain Kuchiki do things that makes me fall for him? I looked at the bottle necklace. He made this...for me...to make me smile and be myself....I slide down to the floor. I held the necklace close to me. Captain Kuchiki. You really are interesting.
