She was happy once. She had found a love, but couldn't return it. Her heart had not been whole in a long time. How could she give someone a heart that was broken? She couldn't, so she didn't.

But she was happy once.

Then darkness took her for a long time. A thick blanket of darkness, warmth and comfort cradled her. It was nice to be at peace after years of pain. But a blinding white light interrupted her peaceful world and the pain returned. After that, she wasn't the same anymore.

You know it ain't easy

For these thoughts here to leave me

There's no words to describe it

In French or in English

Well, diamonds they fade

And flowers they bloom

And I'm telling you

These feelings won't go away

They've been knockin' me sideways

They've been knockin' me out lately

Whenever you come around me

These feelings won't go away

They've been knockin' me sideways

I keep thinking in a moment that

Time will take them away

But these feelings won't go away

Citizen Cope, "Sideways"

Author's Notes:

I love this song. I always listen to music while I write. It's inspiring and can set the tone. This song by Citizen Cope fit perfectly with this story, so in honor of that, this fic will be called "Sideways."

If you hadn't picked up on the summary by now, this is a Hisana and Byakuya story, where Hisana has reincarnated, but has lost her memories. I'm warning you now, this will have a bittersweet ending, so get ready to break out the tissues and that pint of ice cream you keep for emergencies. This story is rated M for a reason, mainly for lemon content. If you are underage and read it, don't complain to me, I gave you fair warning ;-)

I hope you enjoy my latest story, which takes place after Night of Seven. Please read and review as always. ^_^
