Renji smiled as he walked through Karakura Park. He was finally going to do it today. By the end of the day, the girl of his dreams would be in his arms exclaiming on where to go, what to see, what to do and the whatnot. He'd finally be able to breathe in her fresh scent, one of the only things that hadn't changed since he met him. Most of all, he'd be known as her 'boyfriend'.

His eyes shot up when he felt her reiatsu. It was behind a grove of bushes.

Running towards it, he smiled when he saw her dark black hair on her tiny form. Her back was turned to him, but that didn't stop him.

"Ru—"

His jaw dropped. With his eyes bulging, the red haired lieutenant watched in horror at the scene in front of him.

"—marry me Rukia," said the orange haired teenage human kneeling in front of the girl of his dreams.

Reject him, Renji thought furiously/ Just reject him.

"Of-course!" Rukia's voice went an octave higher when she clapped her hands and swooped down to kiss the Shinigami/Quincy/Hollow/Fullbring creature.

With tears rolling down his face, Renji took out his Soul Pager and called a number.

"Taichou," he said his voice quivering. "Congratulations. You're going to walk her down the aisle."


He was having a bad day.

The 4th Seat had accidentally switched the daily report to Yamamoto with his plans for his new design of the Wakame Ambassador and had gotten negative comments from the new Central 46.

Then, one of the maidservants had accidently mailed his noble undergarments to the Royal Palace instead of the documents the Soul King wanted. (And it was his favorite chappy ones too!)

So when he got the phone call from Renji, he was quite annoyed.

"I do not wish to hear your useless—" The Taichou he was speaking to was none other than roku bantai taichou Kuchiki Byakuya of the noble house of the Kuchiki. The said man, who was writing the beautiful kanji of his dead wife's name, choked on the green tea he was drinking and kicked over the ink bottle.

Not bothering to pick it up, he demanded, "What? You're marrying Rukia?"

"I wish," said a snuffling Renji. "No, it's worse."

"GRIMMJOW? SHE'D MARRYING GRIMMJOW?"

"Grimmjow? You know him too, sir?"

"No,no,no. Don't tell me. It's Ulquiorra right? I never wanted an Espada in the family…"

"Ulqui—? No, she's marrying—"

"AIZEN? WHAT HAS URAHARA BEEN DOING ALL THIS TIME? I THOUGHT HE WAS IMPRISONED!"

"Taichou…calm down…like I said, it's worse." Renji started to explain who it was. "Taichou, your sister is marrying that creature the one who—"

"Kuchiki-san, I have news for you," came a nasally voice from the door. Turning, Byakuya saw an idiotic grin on Kurotsuchi Mayuri Taichou. "You're dear Hisana is—"

"—back." Renji finished. The red haired Shinigami was vaguely aware his taichou didn't hear anything he said.

"HISANA IS BACK?!" Byakuya roared. "WHY DO YOU KNOW? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER? ONLY I CAN DO THINGS TO HER!"

"What?" Renji asked confused. "Why—"

Unknown to him, Ichigo and RUkia were overhearing the entire conversation behind him. "Ren-djinn."

Jumping several feet, Renji turned around. "R-r-rukia!" He tried to smile. Looking down though, he saw the enormous diamond ring on her ring finger.

Smiling, Rukia said, "Look at what Ichigo gave me! You like? We're getting married!"

"Renji," came Byakuya's cool voice form the other end. The 6th Squad Captain now had the 12th Squad Captain in a headlock. He had heard what Rukia had said. "Give me the phone to my sister."
