Shiba Kaien was married.

 

She knew of this from the start, but it never stopped her from growing to admire him, and more.  She knew when it finally clicked in her mind one day that Miyako-dono was his wife, she wanted to be angry at her, she didn't know why. But she couldn't hate her at all. Miyako-dono was her idol, and would be. She had no right to hold a unexplainable grudge against her idol, it didn't make much sense either.

Rukia had hoped to look up toward Miyako-dono for a long time.

She couldn't help but blame herself.

"Excuse me for my nosiness but… Where has Kaien-dono been?" Rukia asked. Ukitake looked at her more surprised at her direct question.

"Well, I've been feeling much better lately, so I've been teaching my class.." He explained.

"I noticed you haven't been well these couple of days though… Where is Kaien-dono?" Rukia could see through his lie, becoming more desperate for the answer.

"Ah… If your that concerned, Miyako hasn't been very well, so I've given Kaien a small break so he'd be near his wife… But he will be back soon. Don't worry, Kuchiki." He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, assuring her everything was alright.

But it didn't feel right.

"Aaah, Miyako will love these. I'll be sure she knows you brought them Kuchiki." Kaien's voiced softened, making Rukia crack a smile.

"Have a nice day, Kaien-dono!" She bowed and turned around and walked out of the hospital. Outside, the sky was covered with grey clouds, threatening to spill the moisture that condensed.

"Oi, Rukia! Over here you midget!" Rukia turned to see Ichigo waving and gesturing to come over to where his class stood, waiting to load onto the rented bus. Rukia glanced up to the front where both Ukitake-sensei and Kaien-dono were working on final arrangements before everyone could get on the bus and they could finally get to the farm.

She sneaked away from her class as she ran over to where Ichigo stood waiting.

"What did you want?" She asked, slightly annoyed.

"Just wanted a heads up if you were going to stay with your teachers during the whole school trip when we're in the same group" He said, trying to talk casual. Rukia stared at his observation dumbfounded, before she glared at him. She hit him in the stomach as he doubled over.

"You made me come over here to boost your ego? If your finished, I need to get back to my class before Kaien-dono notices and I get punished." She turned toward where Kaien-dono was already doing attendance, and hurried over before he could call out her name.

"That bitch… I wasn't done talking to her." Ichigo muttered.

"Was there something  important you needed to tell Kuchiki-san, or what she said was actually what you were doing, Kurosaki?" Ichigo grimaced as he turned to the owner of the snide voice.

"Shut up, Ishida- It's not of your business anyway." Ichigo said, irritated. Now Ishida was getting to him.

"Eh, it's true Kuchiki-san will be able to be with us? I'm so happy! She's been busy for so long so I haven't been able to get her opinion on my new recipes, right Kurosaki-kun?" Inoue cheered. She turned to look at Ichigo.

 

"I see… Does Byakuya know the field trip?" He asked. Rukia knew most of the teachers knew of Byakuya Nii-sama  along with everyone else but on a mutual level. Rukia's face soon fell.

"N-no, I thought he didn't need to know. Nii-sama isn't home very often, so he wouldn't notice. He would also guess it would be school-related." Rukia explained. The teachers always talked to her on a personal level when they asked about Nii-sama.

"It's okay, Kuchiki. Next time though you should leave a small note telling him." Ukitake-sensei told her, putting a gentle smile on his face.

"H-hai, Ukitake-sensei…" Rukia stuttered out. Just then Rukia's face almost touched the back of the seat in front of her as the bus was started up. Ukitake went and sat down in a comfortable seat for the long ride. Kaien had already sat down earlier, and was a few rows ahead of Rukia.

The buses started moving, and Rukia remained sitting while she watched the scenery of Karakura pass by for two hours.
