Tragic Meeting (Sana, Byakuya) [CW]

*Sana couldn't be in a better mood as of late, what with having her memories back. Remembering who she truly was, which so happened to be Lady Hisana Kuchiki, wife to Squad 6 Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, mother of Koharu Kuchiki of squad six and older sister of Lt. Rukia Kuchiki. It felt like things might actually be going well, since she was at least in a small way for now getting a second chance. Although the small detail of them being Soul Society, while she was in the World of the Living did kind of put a slight snag in being a true family. But Sana was determined no matter what to not let anything or anyone keep her family apart. She had already lost 50 years and that still hurt, even though she did her best to not let it, though she knew Byakuya picked up on it. That man knew how to read her perfectly, but than she could do the same with him better than anyone. Or perhaps it was because he didn't have a wall up around her like he did his fellow Shinigami, who knows.

But for today Sana was determined to not let anything bring down her happiness. Even while she was around the children and having to deal with a few trouble makers, it didn't deter the woman like most. She pretty much let things roll off her back and while she didn't let it go unpunished, she didn't let her mood be turned negative. Watching as some of the children ran around the playground, that smile remaining on her face, thinking about her daughter. It still hurt how much she had missed and for a brief moment she wondered if they might have another. But she swiftly pushed that from her mind, at least for now to much was going on. Not to mention they weren't even living in the same realm.

Pushing a few strands of hair from her face, she sighed softly before she froze. It wasn't every strong, but it wasn't exactly weak either and Sana still picked up on it. Something or someone was out there and she lifted her head from watching the children, violet eyes scanning the area. Knowing it wasn't her husband, sister or daughter, those eyes narrowing just a second. Trying to not let it worry her, shaking her head once again to completely clear her mind. Knowing she needed to stay focused, the children would be heading home shortly and than she could as well. One lovely fact about working with such young children. Still she didn't completely dismiss the feeling as she moved to gather her group back up and bring them inside, her mind split and she hoped whatever it was. That it didn't get any closer. A small nagging feeling in her gut though told her she might not be that lucky.*

*It had been so bloody long since Sana felt complete and happy in her life. Sure she had been happy living this reborn life, the images, dreams weren't all that great of course. But having everything falling into place, the memories complete all returned like it should be was a heaven sent. Having her husband her family back, even if not fully was better and so much more than she could ask for. So was it inevitable that something would come along to change all that? Was it the fates once more trying to drive Sana into a state where she might lose what she longed to have back? Who really knows, but the minute she felt the reiatsu Sana had a sickening feeling wash down her spine. Granted it could be just the wind blowing...right?

Sana wasn't as frail as she had once been, she wasn't as shy or quiet, reserved. No, she was a very strong woman, even for being only human, okay well maybe a little more so than a normal human. But it wasn't anything like Shinigami or whatever it was that was no doubt coming. So where some might think to run, Sana wasn't going to, not to mention she had children to protect and she was damns sure not letting anyone harm them. It was one thing to hurt her, but bring a child into it and you quickly learn she would die to protect them with her last breath. Maybe that was why she stood ushering the last of her group into the door, before turning to look over her shoulder. Violet eyes turning to land on the figure not sitting upon the top of the fence, narrowing some she jerked the door closed. Slowly turning to face whoever this man was.* "Didn't anyone teach you to hide your reiatsu better? I don't know who or what you are, but if you after the children you have another thing coming." *Her voice surprisingly calm, though there was a definite edge, which given the circumstances probably wasn't good. Still Sana had backed down from the Hollow that fated night she reunited with her husband when it had lured her there, why should now be any different?

Standing just along the sidewalk, her form blocking the door that her children had just entered. Keeping almost a shield between this man and them, as much as she could herself. Waiting for whatever it was he wanted to say or possible do, mentally praying he was just trying to spook her and would leave. Gods I wish he just wishes to spook me... the mental thought that was in the forefront of her mind running on repeat. Briefly debating if she should just turn and rush in to be with the children, but than he could from what she was feeling easily attack the building. As it were she needed to get him away completely and she suddenly went over various ideas. Which unfortunately...weren't many.*

*While blocking the door, hoping that she could in some small way protect those children, Sana wasn't thinking about her own safety. No she couldn't. The though of innocent children being hurt, killed made her physically ill. Plus it now had her mind flickering to Koharu, though she wasn't a child any longer, it was still that mothering instinct to protect that had her doing this. Of course her own flesh and blood wasn't in harms way, but that didn't matter, Sana cared about any and all children. They were after all just innocents. She'd fight to her last breath to protect them all and something told her that was exactly what was going to happen. Those violet eyes not once leaving his face, although the laugh, the way he laughed sent a chill washing over her and she couldn't stop the reaction she had. Tensing up and shivering visible, yet she didn't turn and run nor scream. If his attention was on her than she was doing what was needed.

However, when he suddenly was in front of her she couldn't help the gasp that slipped and involuntarily stepping back. Before she could catch herself. Narrowing her eyes at his words about her being funny, since she for one saw nothing she said in that manner.* "Think what you will...my words weren't meant to be funny, but if you say they are than I guess that makes you crazy." *Gritting her teeth after she spoke, those eyes unable to leave his own piercing gaze and trying to not let him effect her once more with it. Why couldn't her husband have been coming to see her right than, hell even her sister. But no for now she was on her own and would do everything she could just praying along the way help might arrive. Trying to ignore his words about her protecting the children being worthless if he really wanted them.

But as he spoke of actually looking for skulls and made point to hint at why she couldn't help what happen. Suddenly her hand was up and moving to strike just across his face right at his cheek, the look in those violet hues anything but friendly.* "You will not TOUCH THOSE CHILDREN! You sick, twisted, pathetic excuse for living flesh!!" *She was pissed and if her slap across the face had landed she would mentally be happy, if not well oh well. Clinching and unclinching her fists at by her side, Sana tried to think of anyway to get them away from the school. It was obvious she couldn't out run the bastard, so where did that leave them? Barely registering when he spoke of not truly wanting the children but her and she couldn't help the gasp.* "What the bloody hell do you want with me? I'm not even a Shinigami you pathetic bastard, but my husband...." *Cutting herself off, Sana realized she had said to much and mentally chastised herself for that slip. Yet it couldn't be helped when she was this pissed off and the man asked for in a way, still she wasn't sure what he was going to do or say now. It was obvious she knew more than most humans and would he be able to put two and two together? Figure out her husband was a shinigami? God she hoped not that wouldn't go well for her or her family.*

*With her back to the door, her violet hues stayed locked on the male before her. Even if he did kill her, (which was highly probable) she wasn't going to stop trying to protect the children till the end. Waiting and wondering what his move was going to be, although he seemed bent on taunting and just verbally scaring her. That is till she had moved without a thought and struck him across the face. Of course right after she regretted it, but nearly as much as when she was grabbed by the neck and slammed into the door. Gripping at his hand, trying to pull it away and gasping some for air as he held her rather tightly. Hearing the slight sounds of the children listening to the sounds going on outside. Her eyes narrowing, but she was scared just trying to do her best to keep it at bay. Freezing when she caught something right near her head and groaned, knowing now she was in a load of trouble.

God why did she have to bloody well go and try to play hero when she had nothing to use. Well not against someone like this. But than Sana wasn't one to let others be harmed even if she had to protect them with her life. Trying in a pathetic attempt she knew to pull him away from her throat, right before he spoke. Taking in the change in his humorless voice and face knowing it was because of her he now wasn't as teasing as before. Her mind drifting to Byakuya her dear husband who she just found. Than her daughter and sister both she had yet to see since gaining her memories and it all hurt. She had promised Byakuya she wasn't going to leave him and here she was about to be killed by...well by what she had no idea. Narrowing her eyes slightly at the mention of her husband.

Sure she was scared, but his taunting words about what her death would mean had her pissed. Without thinking or maybe she was and just figured she had to at least try and survive. Sana suddenly brought up her right leg in an effort to kick the male right between the legs. Given how close they where she hoped it would work and even if he wasn't human it would still make a point. At least give her something or a chance to be leg go and she could try and run. Get them away from the children was all she needed to do now, she was going to die that was obvious but it wouldn't be around those innocent eyes.*

*Sana was definitely not like her former self was, but than this bastard would have no clue on that. She just wasn't about to let him get through her to the children which was what she believe truly he wanted. Still she was also scared to death and the fact she couldn't possible scream for her husband or another of the 13 Court Guard having no idea if anyone was patrolling around right now. Although she knew some of the humans had connections, but didn't know them beyond her sister. All of it foggy in her head right now, staring back at him trying to process various ideas to use or at least try. Sana doubted if she managed a few hits or anything it would happen more than once with him. So that added to her issue right there, not like she had a weapon to use either.

So when she kicked it was a gut instinct thing to do, thankfully it paid off and he dropped her. While howling out in some serious pain, but Sana didn't take time to dwell she was up and moving. Listening to his cussing before he called her a bitch, although if he had still moved to strike he was going to miss. She had bolted from the door and him the moment she was dropped and he was distracted. Heading for the fence and hurriedly getting the gate open as she rushed through as quickly as possible. Not even bothering to look behind, she knew he was going to follow, that kick had pissed him off worse. Oh she didn't regret it, got her a chance, but now she had no idea where the bloody hell to go. Rushing as fast as she could, knowing the probably could just appear any moment and needing some distance and possible a place she could use. You know any fort in a storm and Sana was pretty sure this was going to be one hell of a storm.

Her mind trying to pinpoint various locations she thought about like some construction site. It would at least have possible a tool or metal to use as a weapon. Right? That made sense, and besides she didn't need him near innocents that much she could do if nothing else was save others. Violet eyes scanning around as quickly as she could before spotting a new construction site and headed for it, pushing her legs as hard as she could. Ignoring the feelings of pain and how labored her breathing was in this situation. Briefly wishing she had some way to contact Byakuya, for Sana knew she wasn't going to live through his encounter. And that meant breaking her promise all over again, it hurt mentally to think like that but how else could she not? With that in mind she tried to hurry into the site and look for anything to use against him to at least help her a little. Violet eyes landing on a pipe and she rushed for it praying to reach it before he reached her.*

*Sana didn't realize he hadn't come right after her, but in fact had considered killing the kids anyhow. If she had well maybe she would of rethought her plans, but honestly she expected him to come right after her. But seeing as she hadn't heard any explosion, Sana was still functioning under the idea the kids were safe away inside the school. Right now she needed to focus on them being safe while she...well while she tried and stayed alive. The try being that stronger thought for the moment. Panting heavily as she reached and slipped into what she hoped was a goop place to hide at the site. Gripping the pipe tightly in her hand, trying to catch her breath for the moment.

Though a few moments later, she could hear the screaming of someone and it was getting closer. Which told her enough and she mentally hissed at what this might now mean. Closing her eyes, she took in a deep, deep breath allowing it out slowly and trying to focus and center herself a little. Not knowing how much time she honestly had, Sana needed to do whatever she could. Unsure if she could possible lower her reiatsu, at least enough that it might make things harder on him. Although she highly doubted it right now. Pursing her lips, wishing she could do something, reach someone. Mainly her damn husband knowing he could handle this situation a hell of alot better than her.

But shaking her head some, she tried to keep her mind clear she had to be smart. Try and keep alive or somehow manage to get this guy to realize she wasn't worth it, but she highly doubted that would happen. Having kicked him well where it would hurt a guy most, she didn't see him just up and saying whatever. Biting her lip she leaned some against the wall trying to stay calm, ready for whatever could and would happen next, just hoping she might have some kind of chance. Damn it, Sana just got her bloody memories back, her husband and happiness she wasn't ready to lose it all over again.*

*While she hid, Sana tried to calm herself down more, she didn't want the creature to find her. But she knew from all those years with the Soul Society, that someone of his level could easily find a weaker soul. But she just hoped if she remembered how to lower her spiritual pressure that she had it would be enough. Still at the moment she was still worried, scared she hadn't heard a sound and did that mean he was still at the school? Oh god what about the children? Sana couldn't bare to think of that monster hurting them, because of her it would kill her. Still what else could she do? Sana had done what she thought would make him follow her, yet she didn't hear or see. Her mind suddenly froze its thoughts catching the screaming, before it died as quickly and she lowered down in her place.

A shiver when through her body as he spoke and she dared to peer out, trying to see just what he was doing. When she saw the man unconscious she closed her eyes and bit back a scream. So he had left the children and instead gone after some man instead. Wrinkling her nose she kept herself hidden, gripping the pipe so tight she could feel her fingers cramping up. But at the moment she didn't care, she was scared, pissed and just unsure what she could do to stop any of this. Least of all keep herself bloody alive. So hearing his threat she dared to look and wished at that moment she hadn't, especially when her blood ran cold. Sana had to cover her mouth and hold back a scream that threatened to break free from the sight. Instead she jerked back leaning against the coldness and tried to block out the noise, closing her eyes and biting down on her lip.

She wasn't a soul reaper, she didn't know the first thing about fighting one of the Soul Society creatures, what could she possible due? It was at a time like this Sana wished she could contact the Captains and alert them to this kind of activity, but she couldn't and that left her alone and unsure. Shivering some she felt her spine give a jerk at his final yell and she braced herself for what this was going to mean. Carefully and with as much courage as she could master, she tried to slip deeper into the construction site knowing she might find something better to use. Or at least have more shields against him, anything would do. Praying her spiritual pressure was low enough she tried to go with her plan, willing the images of the poor man from her mind.*
