You Always Find A Way To Keep Me Right Here Waiting....
Chapter Two: Senbonzakura?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone had a someone......well except me.....
If you've known me like my master does. I do not ...I repeat...do not admit things openly when they come to mind. I am very insecure about my love life. I do not wish to talk about it openly with a random zanpakuto....but there was one person that knew my feelings....
"Minazuki, do you have time to speak with me?" I asked in a polite manner....
She looked at me and smiled. "Of course Senbonzakura, what do you wish to speak about today....." she smirked.
"I........I wish to know what it's like to have someone close....I mean really close..." I asked....
She looked at me with great intrest....She smiled in a motherly way...
"Senbonzakura, no need to be so uptight about it....It's just something that happens..."she said.
She placed a cup of tea in front of me....I felt like I was an open book and she was reading it out to the world, and I also felt a little weak......Tears spilled from my eyes...
She sat next to me and let me cry out what I have been hiding...........for three hundred centuries.....
"I was jealous of my master from being able to love his wife and grief so silently about it...then I tried to comfort him and then he yelled at me and spoke the truth....'Leave me be Senbozakura! My wife is dead....when you have lost someone close to you.....You'll want to be left alone too.' " I sobbed.
Minazuki stroked my hair and held me close....."Oh, zakura........He was just angry.....I'm sure he didn't really mean that...."
"But he did. He meant every word!" I sobbed more...
"Then why have you continued to fight beside him all this time then?" she asked.
"To please him, of course. I'd do anything for Master Byakuya............" I said through my tears.....
She gave me this look that said 'oh really?'.....
I was ashamed......I just lied to a fellow zanpukto and that was dishonorable in my books.
"You,Senbonzakura,continue to fight for him because you love him that is why...." she said wiping my tears away....
No...
No....
NO!.... This can't be....
I'm in love with......
I'm in love with my master.....
I thanked Minazuki and ran off to the floor where my master lay, with his wounds still healing.....
I transported in and I kneeled to the floor in respect.
"Master...." I was scared to say.
"Senbonzakura.....are you ok?" he asked of me...
"Yes, Master." I whispered.
He looked at me with his paralyzing gaze. I feel something run down my spine. I kneeled next to the bed and took his hands in mine. He was really cold. I opened my mouth to spoke but his finger stopped my speech.
"Don't speak........I know Senbonzakura, I've known for a while." he said in his trademark monotone voice...
My eyes widened.
He knew......
Tears poured down my cheeks without a word....just sob....was all I did that night... the night....I realized....I loved my master...and he loved me....too....
COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER..........
Zabimaru was laughing at me..... "Did you really just cry...?" he laughed. "Zabi, I wouldn't laugh....you did the same thing with Hai Neko three months ago........" I said....He stopped and walked off grumbling about stupid me or something like that. "Remember Zabi! I know where you live and who your master is!" I laughed.
I looked over my shoulder and saw Katen Kyoukotsu and Sougyo No Kotowari talking.
"Hey GUYS!!!" I yelled and waved.
Katen and Sougyo smiled at each other and waved back. "Hey! Miss Zakura.... Looking Sexy today as usual!" Katen yelled. "Yeah, I haven't noticed." I smiled. Boy, I missed hanging out with them....ah...those were the days....
