DISCLAIMER: Noriaki Kubo owns these Shinigamis. Though I wish I could have them all.
Author's Note: this is my first time to do a Byakuya X Rukia and my first bleach fanfiction. This is 50themes - I challenged myself to do one, so here's the result. Thanks!

A/N:
kenseikan - are semi tubes that clip onto the hair, they're only worn by nobles.
Remember that Byakuya came from the noble Kuchiki clan.
Hisana Kuchiki - Byakuya's late wife; Rukia's biological sister.
Chappy - Rukia's pink rabbit; the one she includes/uses in her picture-illustrations.
I hope that clarified some things :))
