Saki is the third seat of the fourth division, known for her beauty and medical abilities. She's surrounded by people but in reality, she's left alone to battle her inner demons. Will she be able to overcome the past that haunts her, or will she be...
I was writing down medical theories in my office when I heard someone enter. My eyes narrowed as I grabbed one of my zanpakuto's and turned around holding it to the person's neck. I sighed and placed my zanpakuto away as my arms crossed glaring at the white-haired captain.
you shouldn't be walking around, captain. What happens if you have an episode and no one is around to help." I asked.
I watched as he smiled and I looked at him sceptically.
"why are you here, captain ukitake?" I asked.
"turn around." He said.
I raised an eyebrow at him and he just smiled more.
"humour me Saki," he said.
I sighed and turned around. I heard him behind me and I went to look at him but he placed his hand on my head. I again sighed and continued looking forward. I felt him place something around my neck and took a step back. I let my hand move to the pendant. It had a light pink stone with a hole in the middle and a silver and gold flower on it.

I turned and looked ar Jushiro as he smiled. I went to speak but he grabbed my hand and pulled me up. He went to walk somewhere but I took a step back looking at him suspiciously.
"won't you continue to humour me, or do you not trust me?" He said.
I took his outstretched hand. and he smiled and we flashed stepped. After a few minutes, we stood by a lake with lotus flowers in the water. I felt a pang come to my chest as memories came back. But it was still beautiful.
I felt Jushiro take my hand and I turned to see a picnic set up. I looked at Jushiro as he sat down and I sat by him.
"what's the special occasion?" I asked.
Today was my birthday but Jushiro couldn't know that. Unohana was the only one who knew.
"it's your birthday." He said with a smile.
I looked at him slightly shocked.
"how did you know?" I asked.
"shushie asked Unohana and told me." He said.
I sighed and looked away from him. I hated my birthday. For it was the day I was born. The day I wish never came.
"you know I don't know why you hate your birthday. But I'm happy you were born. Because I got to meet you." he said.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed a piece of food eating it. I watched him look at me with worry. But my attention soon turned to him sensing a changed.
I moved toward him and he was slightly shocked. I placed my hand on his cheek and let my hand go to his chest. My brows frowned definitely sensing something wrong.
He covered his mouth and began coughing. I began healing him as he continued to cough. I saw the pain on his face. All I wanted to do was stop it.
I tried harder and soon the coughinv stopped. But I continued to heal him. But after a few minutes, I stopped meeting his gaze.
"this is why I told you to not strain yourself," I said worry lacing my voice.
He placed his hand on my head and ruffled my hair with a gentle smile. He went to speak but I grabbed the wrist of his other hand looking at the blood covering it.
"don't worry so much," he said.
I went to speak only to have food shoved in my mouth. I growled and ate it. We sat together with light chatter enjoying the picnic. I felt for just a moment my closed off cold heart slightly open up to this captain. But I quickly pushed those feeling away.
I looked at his face from the corner of my eye. Why was he doing this? He had no reason to. Was it a game to him. But He doesn't seem like the type to play around. No, he's just being kind. He's too kind for his own good. The damn fool.

Shushie watched the two from a tree as he sipped his sake. He smiled at the two. Perhaps they could help each other. In some weird way.
