Arranged, a Bleach Fanfic
It has been stated that Byakuya Kuchiki is the only Kuchiki that has not had an arranged marriage. Maybe it is because as captain he had an excuse, either way, the most recent member of the Kuchiki Clan is subject to an arranged marriage. It is commonly known in the soul society that females and males of the noble families of the soul society are allowed to have their spouse chosen by the Captain of First Company, any male or female in the soul society that is not already married. This is the story of the arranged marriage for the youngest woman in the Kuchiki Clan.
I sit here in the Thirteenth Company quarters unaware of what is in store for me… my fate was changed on the day of my execution, I owe my being alive to Ichigo Kurosaki. He saved my life right at the point of my execution. Thinking of that day brings back memories. Kisuke Urahara, you are in my debt, training Ichigo to be one of the most powerful Soul Reapers in the Soul Society. "Hm? A Hell Butterfly?" I muttered under my breath "Oh, great. I get to go see the Head Captain. Wonder what it is this time? Couldn't they have stated it in the message? Oh well. Time to go sort this out."
I grabbed my Zanpakuto, and walked to the First Companies office, where the captains and lutients meet. Am I the only one here? Did I do something wrong? No. That's impossible, I have been making routine visits to the World Of The Living, to battle hollows that is all. I knocked on the door awaiting an answer.
"Kuchiki Rukia, Thirteenth company?" asked Head Captain Yamamoto.
"Yes, it is Kuchiki Rukia." I said confused as to why I was here.
"Please come in Miss Kuchiki." Head Captain Yamamoto in a scratchy voice.
I walked into the head captain's office, and noticed that I am the only one here. I wonder what we are discussing. I hope I am not forbidden to return to the world of the living.
"Miss Kuchiki, please sit I have an Important matter we need to discuss in regards to the Kuchiki Family traditions." Head Captain informed me
"Yes sir." I said taking a seat on the floor placing my Zanpakuto on the floor next to me.
"Rukia, do you know of the sacred Kuchiki Family traditions of marriage?" asked the Head Captain
"No, sir. I have not heard of such." I was confused. I mean marriage traditions?
"Well in any case I will explain to you what I mean. In the history of the Kuchiki family every male or female in the family has had an arranged marriage,"
"An arranged marriage? " I asked
"Yes, an arranged marriage, the only one in your clan who has not had an arranged marriage was your brother, because he was already in love with lady Hisana, though breaking the laws they were engaged. Following tradition we have arranged a marriage for you, Rukia, you will be notified when your betrothed arrives from the world of the living." Said the Head Captain.
"Thank you Head Captain" I said bowing In respect.
"Dismissed" he said.
I grabbed my Zanpakuto off the floor and walked back to my quarters. But what is that? That strange spiritual pressure. No!!! Why is HE here?!
"Hey little one." He said.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" I screamed
"I was summoned by the Head Captain." He said
"Why?" I asked dumbfounded
"Hell if I know" he said.
The end (for now)
