The story of HISANA x BYAKUYA from Bleach.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Hisana was a dream, as she seemed to write herself and emerged, fully-formed, as a girl with a hell of a lot more attitude than I'd accredited her with. It was her character and the events of the story, which unfolded almost entirely unplanned on my part, that made me want to put any of my fanfic online. I've said before that characters write themselves, but, in this case, I, as an author, felt wholly redundant in a way I never have before. It's a kind of magic when that happens. It also feels like I can hardly take credit for the result (although that might make it sound like this fic is gonna be way better than it is so scratch that). Anyway, the good bits are down to Hisana; the cr*p bits are down to my poor writing skills. Since Kubo is unlikely to ever make this canon, I felt I owed it to the girl to publish this online.

This is part of the larger list of stories (part 40) available on my profile, but this set serves as a standalone.

I wanted to make this story feel familiar to readers, as if it could actually have happened in the Bleach-iverse. To do that, I've researched into what other people thought happened to Hisana and Rukia. We know they died together in a war, but that's about all. That said, there seemed to be a general agreement on the fan forums of which war, so I have gone along with them, even though the timing and Rukia's age don't totally make sense! Just... time moved differently in Soul Society, I guess.

Kubo owns Hisana and Rukia.

Mature filter is on beacuse she swears (I know, I was shocked too).
