Chapter 548: Living Life

 Mei was lost in a deep sleep when a bright light shining on her face stirred her. The first thing that she did was to block her eyes, and let them slowly adjust as she stared at the edges of the light on her bedsheets. As her groggy mind cleared, Mei realized that it was a babbling, energetic Skye that had awoken her..

"Why...are you here so late? Or is it early?"

 "Tis ridiculously early, but I swear it'll be worth it.. I've come ta bust ya out!" Skye whispered loudly.

 Mei's voice was barely audible as she mumbled; "I wasn't locked away, I just.. I do not want cause problems for Hang anymore.."

 Skye sighed; "If ya have ta cut yer loved ones outta yer life ta keep him happy, then he doesna love ya, Mei.. He sees ya as a possession ta control. Is it really worth it ta close yer self off fer the rest of yer life?"

 Mei's expression fell as as Skye added; "Is that how ya want Rukia ta live?"
