Five times Hikaru and Eagle (+Lantis?) were cute together, and one time they derped.

...♥ I-I'll be back with him in May bb.

"And they lived happily ever after," Hikaru read aloud from her picture book of Sleeping Beauty. She smiled and slowly closed the cover.

Your world has very beautiful stories, Hikaru Eagle's voice echoed in her mind. I wonder if such a story could be true?

"We could see!" Hikaru replied.

How?

Hikaru said nothing, but leaned over and gently kissed Eagle's cheek. She watched his sleeping face expectantly, but his eyes remained closed. She laughed softly. "Well I guess I am a knight after all, not a prince."

That's quite alright. It was still a lovely kiss. Do you have another story?

"Yep!"

"Miss Hikaru? Are you ready?" Zazu asked from one side of the door.

"Uh-huh!" Hikaru replied as the door opened with a whoosh! She stood at the entrance, wearing traditional Autozam clothes. Zazu gave a boyish grin and Geo whistled from the back of the room, where he stood with Eagle. Hikaru smiled tightly as she smoothed out her skirt.

"You look cute!" Zazu smiled.

Hikaru's cheeks were just pink enough as she bashfully looked down at the toes of her boots.

Eagle stepped forward and took Hikaru's hand. He smiled and pressed his lips against it in a kiss.

"You look lovely. But then, you always do."

Eagle's eyes fluttered open, the light of day making them ache. Before he could think a single thought, a bundle of red and laughter surrounded him.

Hikaru had flung herself around him as he woke for the first time since their battle for the Pillar. She looked different; older, happier, but still strong and beautiful.

"Eagle!" she cried. "You're finally awake!"

Lantis stood behind Hikaru, at his bad side, and smiled. "Welcome back."

Eagle smiled; a genuine smile. "Thank you."

Hikaru hurried out to the castle gardens. She spotted Eagle and Lantis, both sitting up against one of the trees, eyes closed in rest. Quietly she approached them, leaving a curious gaze on Eagle. This was his first visit since returning home to Autozam. Seeing him with his eyes closed still made her nervous. She leaned over, watching his serene face.

Suddenly his eyes opened, looking right into her own. "I'm awake Hikaru."

"Mm. I know!" she smiled brightly.

Lantis smiled next to them and shifted over slightly. "Will you join us?"

"Yeah!" Hikaru nodded and settled down in between both men. Resting against their broad shoulders, she had never felt more happy and content.

"What is this called, again?" Eagle asked as he stared at the blob sitting atop the cone in his hand.

"Ice cream!" Hikaru replied.

"And you're sure that is is edible?"

"Mhm!" To prove her point, Hikaru took a lick of her own ice cream cone.

Hesitantly, Eagle raised the cone to his mouth and took a lick. He smiled as the taste filled his mouth.

"I knew you'd like it!"

"Yours is a differently color than mine," Eagle noted. "Does it taste different?"

"Yeah-"

Eagle leaned down and snuck a taste of Hikaru's ice cream. Hikaru blushed and Eagle smiled even more. "Mm, good."

"Hikaru, is there someone you want to marry?" Eagle asked.

"Eagle!" Hikaru replied so easily and naturally. Eagle's eyes widened as a rare blush graced his pale cheeks.

"And?" Lantis asked from behind him.

"Lantis! And Umi, Fuu..." She began listing each and every person she loved and cared about.

Eagle looked shocked for a minute and Lantis chuckled a bit. But then Eagle laughed. That was Hikaru, completely and utterly, Hikaru.

Five times that chibiusa hugged Byabo and one time where he hugged her.

Chibiusa watched out of the window of the front. Everyone had left except for herself and teacher. She wasn't upset; she was always the last to be picked up. Finally the familiar black car pulled into the parking lot. She bowed to teacher and bid her goodbye before running outside.

Byakuya had just stepped out of the car when Chibiusa launched at him.

"Good afternoon Papa!"

He patted the top of her head. "Good afternoon Chibiusa."

She was still in a state of shock from watching the battle that had just taken place in front of her own eyes. Byakuya was bleeding. He was bleeding, but he was okay, free, and alive. She refused to cry so she kept a stubborn look on her face and stepped up to him. Without much thought she reached out and hugged him tightly, as if confirming he was really there.

He stood stiff and she realized what she had done. She stepped back, her cheeks pink, but she smiled. "I'm glad you're okay Kuchiki-san."

She couldn't go home. She couldn't even go back to Usagi. She was stranded, wandering through unfamiliar worlds. There were people all around here, wearing black robes and bearing swords.

"Chibiusa-chan?"

There was Rukia, Renji, and Byakuya. Relief swept over her as she explained what happened. They all patiently listen. When she finished, Byakuya pet the top of her head.

"We'll make room for you to stay here."

She looked up at him with wide eyes. Without warning she threw her arms around him.

"Thank you. Thank you Kuchiki-san."

Chibiusa spotted Rukia and hurried to meet up with her. "Rukia-san? Have you seen Kuchiki-san?"

A solemn expression was on Rukia's face, but she smiled slightly. "Nii-sama is speaking with my sister."

"With Hisana-san?"

"Yes."

She said goodbye to Rukia and continued to quietly explore.

Finally she saw Byakuya emerge from his room. Her footsteps echoed against the wood floor as she ran and threw herself at him, hugging him. He looked surprised but did not say much.

"Chibiusa."

One last squeeze and she let go, smiling, but felt only sadness inside.

It was late at night when Byakuya had finished his work for the day. He had been sitting with reports all evening with Chibiusa sitting next to him, coloring. He looked over a final report when he felt a weight fall against him. He looked to his right and saw Chibiusa, leaning against him, asleep.

He put down his work and carefully lifted Chibiusa up and carried back to her arranged sleeping quarters. As he carried her down the hall she murmured sleepily and shifted in his arms. Her arms moved and slipped around him as her head rested on his shoulder. He came to her sleeping mat and rested her down. Her arms stayed firmly around his neck, though she remained asleep. Byakuya said nothing, but gently removed her arms.

"May you sleep well," he said softly before leaving her to her dreams.

It was finally time to go home. Both happiness and sadness battled within Chibiusa. Soon she would see her mother and father, but that would mean leaving behind all of her friends. What was the point of her mother telling her to make friends if she was just going to leave them behind?

She stood before her friends from Soul Society and could not bear to look them in the eye, because tears were beginning to form. However, before they could fall, she was enveloped by the black fabric of Byakuya's sleeves as his two strong arms wrapped around her.

"K-Kuchiki-san?" she choked.

"Do no stain your farewell with tears. Let this be a memory worth remembering."

She choked back a sob and nodded against his chest. Her little arms reached around and returned his hug. "Thank you Kuchiki-san. Thank you for everything."
