Rating: K+

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Bleach. But I can sure dream…

Inspired by a picture of Rukia wearing a kenseikan. Unfortunately I can't remember who made the picture but it was posted on Live Journal. XD Please R & R


"No, Rukia, you thread it though like this." Byakuya instructed as he made bundles of her hair through the gaps of his fingers. He then took the kenseikan and clipped it firmly.

"See." Rukia looked in the mirror and nearly fell off her chair. She looked like a miniature Byakuya, the female version. It was absolutely ridiculous. Now I have to walk around like I'm on a permanent perm. She thought grimly, it'll take another hundred years for her to live it down. She sighed, if only nii-sama hadn't being so persistent.

"Come now, you're going to be late." She left the house reluctantly, with Byakuya by her side.

The walk through the halls was unbearable. Rukia could feel a hundred eyes on her, she was deafened by the quiet murmurs. Byakuya, on the other hand, seemed oblivious. Rukia was sure that if he hadn't being there then there would be an uproar.

As they entered the sixth division headquarters, Renji came out of his office. The look on his face was priceless when he saw her. He burst out in a fit of laughter. Rukia glared at him. Byakuya's eyes narrowed.

"Renji." Renji tried to control his laughter, but seeing Rukia wearing the kenseikan was too much for him.

"Taichou." He acknowledged, trying extremely hard to repress yet another laugh. He failed miserably when he greeted Rukia.

"Ru…Ru…stifled laugh..Rukia" He burst into another bout of laughter. It came to the point where he had to use his hands to wipe tears from his face.

Byakuya was appalled by his behaviour. Rukia sank into the background.

"My days are now numbered." She thought as she continued to glare at the possessed vice-captain.
