~Chapter one~

I looked in front of me while the servants carried me around in this box. My brother, the Kuchiki prince, had let me out but since the 'dark lord' Ichigo Kurosaki came to town I wasn't allowed to go outside this box. I looked to my right and looked out through the window and out at the blue sky and the birds flying in the wind. Would I ever be able to look at that sky without having a net coming in my way? I sighed and leaned back against the wall.
"Hime-sama, are you okay?"
"Ya, I just don't want to sit straight anymore." I answered and closed my eyes. Dark lord, huh? Why was everyone looking down as they talked about him? Why did they shake when they talked about him? What had he done that made everyone tremble in fear as they spoke about him? I opened my eyes when I heard orders from a Hell butterfly.
"The prince is ordering the servants who are walking with the princess to bring her back. The dark lord is moving." A female voice said and I sighed. So much for my 'freedom.' Thanks to this dark lord was my time in out here put to an end.
"Yes!" They said in chore and walked faster and back forward the palace. I looked out through the window again but straightened as I saw something coming flying. Was it a bird? No, it can't be. It's a really strange bird then, it's even to strange to be a bird.
"What is that?" I asked and someone started to scream 'the dark lord!' as they looked the same way I did. Quickly they sat down the box and pulled me out from it.
"I'm really sorry for what I will do now princess, but this is the fastest way to move you to safety." I looked at the guard who suddenly lifted me up and started to run.
"W-wait a minute! What is going o…" I stopped when that thing I had seen crushed in at the box, or the cart to be more exactly and honest, and then walked out from it like nothing. The man coming out looked my way and I read his lips as he said.
"So I just missed her, huh?" He looked me in the eyes as the servant, or guard, ran away with me and then he gave me a gentle smile and disappeared. Was that the feared dark lord?

"Rukia! Are you okay?!" I looked at nii-sama and nod.
"I'm okay. They got me out of the cart before he crashed in to it to say hello. And I though you said he had black long hair, he had short and orange hair." He sat down before me.
"What you saw wasn't his true form. His true form is way more powerful than that and in his true form he has long, black hair and red brown eyes." I nod and saw how he suddenly looked at something behind me with fear. Slowly I turned around and saw him, the dark lord, once more for the day. What did he do here? He leaned against the door frame and looked at my brother with a bored and tired face.
"We thought this would happen, the Kurosaki clan I mean." The guards pointed their spears and swords at him when he spoke. "Don't be ridiculous." He sighed. Nii-sama was rather quick with covering me so all I heard was metal falling to the floor and surprised screams. I looked over nii-samas arms when it became silent and saw the guards lying at the floor, wounded but not life threatened wounded. I looked back at Ichigo and saw how his hair slowly started to turn black and become longer as he straightened from the door frame and walked against us.
"You know the price our parents made up when all of you asked for our help, prince." He stopped in front of us and looked coldly at my brother. "And we will collect that price today, on her official 19th birthday as all of you agreed with." I looked up at nii-sama. Her official 19th birthday? I was the only one in this house that was celebrating my birthday today!
"Wait, nii-sama! Did you trade me?! Did my family trade with me?!" He looked at me with sad eyes.
"It was our parents who choose the price. You know my wife died not long after you were born, right?" I nod. "You had cached the same disease and there was a threat against you from stronger enemies at the same point so our parents asked for help from the Kurosaki clan. His clan." I looked at Ichigo. "But their price was high. They don't protect someone of noble blood just like that. Since our parents didn't have the item they asked for in payment they wanted you instead and they would come to get you at your 19th birthday and not a day later or sooner."
"And you thought you could stop that from happening." Ichigo said with his arms crossed over his chest and nii-sama looked down.
"Yes. I thought I could keep her away from that destiny through keeping her in the house. I hid her from the world and your clan."
"Which are stupid thoughts. We are hunters and a higher rank of shinigami's. There is no way you could disappear with her just like that; you just made us angrier when you tried." Nii-sama looked down again.
"Has the price rose?"
"No. But she will come with me when I return to our town one week from now on. Prepare for that and add guards if you so want. If you disappear I will just take everyone in this palace as hostage until I find her or you will come out with her." With those words as his final words he disappeared and nii-sama collapsed at the floor.
"Nii-sama!" I shouted and turned him around.
"It's okay. It's just that a Kurosaki's anger was scarier than people could explain. I knew I would need to face their anger but I wasn't prepared for this." I nod slowly and help him sit up again as he sighed and let his finger slip over his face. He was worried. I had one more week in this town until I needed to face a new world and enter a new family.
"Why did they want me, nii-sama?"
"Because Ichigo needed a fiancée, or rather a wife, to move their line on. You will be his bride, which is the price." I looked down a little.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" I asked.
"Because we didn't want you to live in wonder what would happen next time you opened your eyes or be afraid of your 19th birthday." I slowly nod and looked out over the garden. I wasn't afraid, something about him made me feel he wasn't bad, just misunderstood because of a mask he showed the world. But I will remove that mask if he's going to take me with him as a wife.

This is then the first chapter! ^^ I will try to add a new each week. Please tell me what you think!
