I do not own Bleach.

Ch1: Death and Pineapple

"Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine"

"Bya—"

"Nii-sama is fine."

"That isn't what I was going to ask. I was going to ask if everything is fine between the two of you"

"Of course it is"

"When you were in jail you said he didn't look at you"

"Will you just drop it?"

"No, I will not drop it, I just want you to be happy"

"What do you care?"

"I care about you"

"Sure you do, that's why you were so quick to swing your sword at me after we hadn't seen each other for months."

"I…"

"Cat got your tongue?"

"Dammit, Rukia. If you're not happy living with Byakuya, then you should just leave."

"I'm not unhappy"

"He won't even look at you!"

"I'm not stupid. I've seen pictures of his wife. I'm practically her splitting imagine. Why would he look at me when my face just reminds him of the person he lost?"

"It's not fair to you"

"Who cares about fairness?"

"Look, we all lose someone. We lost our friends from Izumi, don't you remember?"

"Of course I do, that was different"

"How is it different? They're all dead, they're not coming back."

"It's different because they were friends, where as he was in love with her, she was his wife!"

"What do you know about love?"

"I've been in love"

"With who?"

"With you, you dufus. Or at least I thought I was. But that was a long time ago."

"What?"

"Kami-sama, I can't believe I just said that."

"What do you mean you were in love with me?"

"It's all in the past and it's beside the point."

"When?"

"Before you abandoned me! You weren't supposed to be happy I was being adopted into the Kuchiki family. You weren't supposed to agree. You were supposed to say I didn't need an adoptive family because we'd start one of our own. But you didn't, because you didn't feel that way and I was left feeling like the idiot."

"I did feel that way! Listen to me"

"Let go of me"

"I didn't want you to be adopted into the Kuchiki family, I didn't want to agree. I did want to be with you and start a family with you. I still did. I swore that I would become stronger that Byakuya and prove myself to you. I swore I would take you away from him."

"But you didn't and you can't. I no longer have those childish feelings towards you anymore. I am fine with my familial relationship with Byakuya. Nothing is wrong. I am happy. I'm going back to the real world"

"Why in the hell are you going back there if you're so happy here?"

"I'm going there to get away from you"

…

"I see. I will no longer stand in your way then."

"Thank you, it's much appreciated."

"Wait, …Kurosaki, you aren't in love with him now are you?"

"Is that any of your business?"

"No, it's not."

AN: So here's another story I wrote in class, only this time it was in Cisco class. who cares about how to set up routers and networks when there is Bleach fanfiction to be read. This was originally going to be a IchiRukiRenji fic, but by the time I got to the third chapter I decided to change the direction. So it's mostly just humor. This is probably going to be the most serious chapter. AU with the exception that every major battle will still happen. So I hope you continue to read and enjoy!
