She was so different from her, yet so similar.
It felt strange to see that stubborn set of jaw and those determined eyes on a face that was always gentle in his memories.
Only the outside was the same. The same black hair framing her pale face, the same dark eyes staring at him with something akin to adoration, the same long neck and petite frame, so much like a doll.
That was where the similarities ended.
Rukia was lively and cheerful where Hisana had been quiet and composed. Rukia was strong and rebellious where Hisana had been obedient and frail. Rukia relied only on herself where Hisana had been dependent of him. Their characters were almost opposites.
And both of them had loved and respected him.
Byakuya observed silently while Rukia was treated by the 4th Division, healing her injuries from the fight against a hollow. It must hurt, he thought seeing the strange angle her leg had been bent, but she was lying there, refusing to cry out or show how painful it really was in front of him.
So much like Hisana, hiding her pain from him.
Byakuya stood there for another minute before turning around and leaving, wondering if it was the memory of Hisana what made him feel like that seeing Rukia's suffering.
He heard distant moans of pain on his way out of the 4th Division, and he ignored the impulse of going back and watch over Rukia.
Whatever the reason, he was better off without those feelings.
