Chapter One: The Future Mrs. Ichigo Kurosaki
Rukia shifted in her bed as she woke up. Her shoulder length black hair was now in her face. She opened her eyes slowly as the light hit her eyes. She wasn't in her bedroom but she was in a familiar place. The room was cream, nice painting, with nice polished wooden furniture. She slowly tired to sit up in the bed and was weighed down a bit by an arm. Rukia looked down at the arm and slowly turned around to see a man next to her.
Rukia smiled at the man next to her. He had a head of orange hair, peach skin and a handsome face. The beautiful man was asleep. His face looked so peaceful which was not the same face he had when he was awake. Rukia took her hand and lightly caressed his face. She stopped when she notice her hand, her ring finger to be specific. There was a 6kt ring on her finger.
Last night did happen huh? Rukia thought as she looked at the ring still in disbelief. Last night, Rukia's boyfriend of one year, Dr. Ichigo Kurosaki, had asked her to marry him. She had no idea it was coming, she actually had news of her own to tell him. He asked her to come over and he would make them dinner. She remembered walking into his condo, confused by the dim lighting, candles and rose pedals. He was there when she walked in, down on one knee. She screamed yes before he could even ask.
"Good Morning Beautiful" a voice said shaking Rukia from her thoughts. Ichigo's amber eyes stared right into her violet eyes. Rukia smiled "Good Morning Ichigo". Ichigo laughed.
"I can't wait to say 'Good Morning Mrs. Kurosaki'" He said. Rukia blushed and playfully pushed him away. Ichigo smirked and turned to his clock, it was 7:30AM.
"We have to get up, so you can get Mamoru ready for school" Ichigo announced. Rukia pouted, and obeyed. Both Rukia and Ichigo left the bed much to their dismay and left his bedroom. Rukia made her way to the bedroom next door.
She opened the door, and she saw her five year old son, sleeping soundly in the queen size guest bed. Rukia smiled as she approached the young boy. She bent down and smiled at the sleeping figure. Mamoru has a mess of black hair, and a cute chubby face. "Wake up Mamoru; you have to get ready for school"
Mamoru smiled in his sleep. "Can I have five minutes momma?"
"Mamoru, get your little butt up" Rukia said as she began tickling her son awake. Mamoru's blue eyes had popped open as he busted out into laughter. "Okay Okay, Momma, I'm up" the young boy said as he jumped up.
"Good to hear" Rukia said, she got up and suddenly felt nauseous. She could feel herself ready to vomit. She held her hand over her mouth trying her best to keep it down. Mamoru looked at his mother confused.
"Momma are you okay?" He asked. Rukia paused as she finally was able to keep her stomach contents down. She sighed and looked at her son who looked worried
"Yes, baby, mommy was just feeling a little sick" She smiled at her son. "Go say good morning to Ichigo" Rukia said. Mamoru smiled and ran out the room in search of Ichigo.
Rukia realized in all the excitement from getting engaged, she forgot she was 2 months pregnant. She found out last week, at a routine check-up. She was shocked that she didn't realize she was pregnant, but she was happy nonetheless. She just didn't know how to tell Ichigo. At the time when she found out he was just her boyfriend, but now they were engaged. She knew for sure he really loved her. She just had to find the right time to tell him that she was pregnant.
######
"Have a good day at school Mamoru" Rukia said as she got ready to part ways with her son. Ichigo, Rukia and Mamoru stood outside of Karakura elementary school. Ichigo stood behind them as Rukia kissed her son goodbye for a few hours.
"Thank you for the ride Mr. Ichigo" Mamoru said happily.
"You're welcome kiddo" Ichigo replied before Mamoru ran to where the rest of the children were playing.
Mamoru's teacher, Momo Hinamori, approached Rukia. "Good Morning Rukia, how are you today"
Momo was about Rukia's height, very young looking woman with black hair up in a bun and brown eyes. Momo had always been upbeat and very outgoing.
"I'm good Momo" Rukia said, she then realized that the woman probably wanted to know who the man behind her was.
"Oh Momo, this is my fiancé, Ichigo" Rukia beamed proudly. Momo jumped up happily.
"Oh gosh, nice to meet you, I can't believe you proposed to her! I'm Momo, a high school friend of Rukia's, Oh gosh, Mamoru finally gets a stable father figure in his life" Momo blabbered.
"We would love to stay and chat but me and Ichigo have to go to work" Rukia said trying to cut the conversation short.
"Oh please don't mind me, I should get inside and start teaching, Mamoru is one of my brightest students."
"Good to hear, he is one smart kid, couldn't possibly get it from his mother" Ichigo teased. Rukia elbowed him and he cursed under his breathe.
"Nice meeting you Momo" Ichigo said walking back towards his car. Rukia was about to follow, when Momo grabbed her hand. Rukia turned to see a more serious expression on Momo's face
"Did you tell him?" Momo asked referring to Rukia's pregnancy. Once Rukia found out she asked her friends around her what she should do and how she should tell him.
"Not yet, I'm going to tell him soon" Rukia answered. Momo smiled slightly and nodded. "Okay then, see you after school" Momo replied before turning to enter the school.
Rukia took in a long breathe than went to Ichigo's car. He owned a black Nissan Maxima. It had GPS, heated seats, just the works.
#####
The drive was pretty silent. Rukia kept staring at her ring smiling while Ichigo smiled as he watched her.
Their silent moment was ruined by the sound of Rukia's phone. Rukia looked down into her purse and pulled out her new iPhone, Ichigo had bought her last month. Rukia pulled out the phone and frowned when she saw the name pop up on her phone.
Ichigo had a feeling he knew who was calling. Rukia's whole mood would change when this man would call her phone. She would get upset and annoyed just by seeing his name.
Rukia mentally cursed then picked up the phone
"Yes Kaien?"
"Good Morning to you too Rukia" a deep male voice said thru the phone.
"I didn't say good morning"
"What's gotten into you this morning"
"I had a wonderful morning until you called me" Rukia snapped. Ichigo hated seeing Rukia upset like this. Mainly because she only got upset at people she cared about, which made Ichigo a little jealous.
"Look Rukia, I just called to tell you I put 75,000 yen in your back account."
"Yay more money, did you expect me to buy a father for Mamoru with that?" Rukia said sarcastically.
"How is Mamoru?"
"You would know if you actually decided to see, no wait, MEET YOUR SON" Rukia was now fuming.
"Rukia, we have had this argument constantly, I'm done, I'll call you next moth when I put another 75,000 thru."
"Don't bother" Rukia spat before she hung up. Rukia huffed and now had a frown on her face. Ichigo who drove and listened and felt bad for Rukia. He held out his hand to her. She looked to see Ichigo who was looking forward but had a sympathetic look on his face. Rukia's face softened. Rukia took Ichigo's hand and smiled.
"Thanks." Rukia said. She loved how Ichigo just had to be around to make her feel better. Rukia was happy to know, she was about to marry a man who loved her and Mamoru. Mamoru really did need a father figure in his life and Kaien couldn't be that for him.
Rukia had met Kaien her sophomore year, when she attended college in Tokyo. He was a teaching assistant in her business class which she took as an elective. They began seeing each other and she fell head over heels in love with him. By the end of her sophomore year she was pregnant with his child. She told him the news of her pregnancy and he told her she had to get an abortion. She didn't understand why until her best friend told her that Kaien had been married the whole time. Rukia however refused to have an abortion. She dropped out of college and raised the baby with the help of her best friend. They moved to Kyoto to raise Mamoru, but when her best friend was offered a dream job in Tokyo, she moved back to Karakura, where she went to high school and raised Mamoru with financial help from Kaien who found out about Mamoru's birth when he was 2.
Rukia gently squeezed Ichigo's hand. She was lucky to have him. She loved Ichigo. She knew he would always be there. That she was sure of.
"I was wondering, when we were going to tell Mamoru about our engagement?" Ichigo asked.
"I was thinking about that too" Rukia answered. She knew Mamoru liked Ichigo but she wondered if he liked him enough for him to be his new father. "We just have to think of a right time and right way to tell him" Rukia explained.
Ichigo agreed and the car went back to silence
#####
"Good Morning Dr. Kurosaki" a group of nurses greeted as Ichigo stepped off the elevator to the 4th floor of Karakura General Hospital. Ichigo has dropped off Rukia at work and he drove to the hospital to begin his day there.
Ichigo waved at them, giving them a small smile. He thought it was funny that the nurses and receptionists had all tried to date him minus one. He wouldn't lie and say he wasn't flattered but he has never been a single man since he worked there, so the women their never caught his attention.
Ichigo walked down the white halls of the hospital, greeting the different staff, until he reached his office door.
The door read ''Dr. Ichigo Kurosaki , M.D." . He opened the door to his office and stepped in quickly so he could get started on his paperwork.
His office was simple. It had polished wooden floors, a nice wooden desk, two comfort chairs for guests, a couch for resting, his own office chair, and several bookcase filled with medical books and journals.
Ichigo dropped his brief case on the desk and took a seat in his chair. He looked around, thinking what he should do first. His eyes wandered to the picture of him and Rukia that he had on his desk. It was taken by his goofy father a few months ago. There was another picture of Ichigo and Mamoru.
Ichigo loved that little boy. The boy reminded him of himself when he was a child. Mamoru was always very protective of his mother. Ichigo couldn't believe how lucky he was to find a woman like Rukia and to get so attached to child that wasn't his own.
Ichigo laughed as he thought back to the day he met Rukia Kuchiki.
FLASHBACK
"Good Afternoon Ichigo" a woman with dark skin and long purple hair had greeted him. Ichigo had walked into the corner café not too far from the hospital. He came there every day for lunch while he was still in medical school. He was recently offered a job.
"Hey Yoruichi" Ichigo greeted the woman
"How's the hospital job treating you?" Yoruichi said as she began counting money at the register.
"Good, in a few months I won't be eating her as often since my job will be really hectic." Ichigo informed her.
"Well, I guess me and your dad will just have to come bother you at work now" Yoruichi said evilly.
"Stay away! Are you trying to get me fired?"
"We won't do anything to embarrass you….much" Yoruichi said laughing.
Ichigo flipped her off before a young waitress with short blonde hair approached him.
"Good Afternoon, Mr., I mean, Dr. Kurosaki" the waitress greeted.
"I told you that you can call me Ichigo, Kiyone" Ichigo said to the waitress
"Sorry, but it's against the rules" Yoruichi said. "I make all my employees address people formally, even if they don't deserve the respect."
Ichigo flipped Yoruichi off and Kiyone took Ichigo to his usual table by the window.
"I'll have the usual" Ichigo said, not taking a look at the menu.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Kurosaki but we have a new waitress today and we really want her to get a hands on training so she will take you order."
"Alright but she needs to be fast, my break is only an hour" Kiyone nodded and ran to get the new waitress.
Ichigo took out his iPhone and began reading his e-mails as he waited. Ichigo loved this café. It was always very peaceful and a good place to read, study or handle little business.
"Good Afternoon, My name is Rukia and I'll be your waitress" a feminine voice said. She sounded sweet, extremely sweet like she was faking it. Ichigo looked up and his brown eyes met her big violet ones.
Ichigo was almost at a loss for words at the beautiful girl in front of him. She had milky white skin, black hair which was up in a clip but had one bang out. Ichigo began to wonder how old she was.
"Are you okay sir" Rukia asked when she realized he wasn't going to answer.
Ichigo woke up from his gaze, when he saw her voice had changed to a rougher but still feminine one and ordered. "I would like a coffee and a cordon blue sandwich melt."
Rukia nodded and took his order. "Of course sir, I will place your order" she replied with the same fake voice from before.
"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki" He said. Rukia was surprised that he had just given out his name without asking. "I'm a regular here, so I thought you should know my name."
"Okay, Mr. Kurosaki" Rukia replied sweetly then turned away.
"Wait"
Rukia turned around again to face her customer. "How old are you anyway, I'm pretty sure high school is still in session shouldn't you be at school?"
Rukia raised her eyebrow and quickly lost her cool.
"Do I look like a high schooler?" Rukia asked this time in the rough feminine voice. Ichigo now fully realized the sweet voice was an act. "And what kind of man asks a woman her age?"
"The kind of man, who is worried that a high schooler is working when she should be in school"
"You idiot, I am not a high schooler, I am 25 years old, thank you very much!"
"25? You look 16" Ichigo laughed. Rukia slammed her hand on his table.
"Look carrot top, this is my first day and I am trying to be nice but you are pissing me off"
"Wow carrot top, real original midget" Ichigo snorted. Rukia was about to strangle him when Yoruichi stepped in.
"Rukia, please refrain from killing my customers" she said. Rukia automatically realized she was acting crazy at her job on her first day."
"I'm sorry Miss Yoruichi" Rukia said.
"It's okay, Ichigo is an idiot any way" She joked. Ichigo glared at her.
"Just place the order, I'll have Kiyone finish up here" Yoruichi said to Rukia before she thanked her and left but not before she glared at Ichigo.
"She should have been fired, what happened to 'The Customer is always right'" Ichigo demanded
"Shut up, whether I fired her or not, you would still eat her, plus you think she's cute"
"HUH?" Ichigo said, part of him was upset that Yoruichi could read him so well.
"I saw you staring at her, she is pretty, I'll admit that" Yoruichi said before walking away. Ichigo scoffed and went back to reading his messages. He however kept sneaking glances at the small waitress called Rukia.
END FLASHBACK
#####
Rukia hummed happily to herself as she quickly finished sweeping up the art gallery. Rukia worked at "Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder" an art gallery downtown of Karakura. It was at the top floor of an apartment building. It was huge and spacious. The walls were white with wooden floors and huge bay windows. The gallery is owned by Yumichika Ayasegawa. He collects art from all over the world and sells them here.
"FUCK!" a rough male voice said. Rukia looked up to hear that cry from the storage room; she knew it was probably the building's maintenance guy.
"Shuhei are you okay back there?" Rukia asked. Said man had come out of the storage room with a bunch of boxes in his hand and dropped it on the desk by the front entrance to the gallery. Shuhei was tall and lean built. He had black spiky hair, with a tattoo of 69 on his face.
"I'm fine, I forgot the walls had just been painted so I got paint on my shirt" He said. Rukia chuckled as she joined him behind the desk.
"Better go change that shirt; Yumichika will die if he sees you looking like that before he opens up the gallery today."
"Yumichika can kiss my ass, I got him the loft for a good price and I'm the maintenance supervisor so I can be anywhere I damn well please" Shuhei preached. Rukia shrugged. She took the first small package from the pile Shuhei had brought in. Shuhei quickly noticed the new addition to Rukia's finger.
"Rukia , is that what I think it is?" Shuhei asked still staring at her finger. Rukia realized what he meant and blushed and nodded.
"Ichigo asked me to marry him last night" She squealed. Shuhei put on a brave front and smiled "Congrats! So you told him you're pregnant?"
"Well, I didn't" Rukia confessed
"But he proposed"
"Yes he did"
"So he proposed, without telling him you're pregnant?" Shuhei asked trying to understand.
"Yes" Rukia said happily. "I will tell him, I just want to find the perfect time." Rukia explained. Shuhei was about to reply when he heard two loud voices getting closer.
He rolled his eyes as the two voices kept getting louder. "Looks like Yumichika and Rangiku are here"
Rukia laughed as Shuhei went back into the storage room. The gallery front door opened as a man with jaw length black hair and colorful feathers on his eyes walked in and a woman with long strawberry blonde hair and a very curvy figure walked in behind him chatting away.
"Good Morning Yumichika, Good Morning Rangiku" Rukia greeted respectively.
"Good Morning Rukia!" Rangiku greeted happily. Yumichika waved as he took a look around to make sure his gallery was clean.
Rukia knew Rangiku, Yumichika and Shuhei all from her days in high school. She was never close with any of them but she was friendly with them back then. Rangiku works at the gallery with Rukia but she is an up and coming model. She works at the gallery as a favor to Yumichika who used to take her early modeling photos.
"Good Job this morning Rukia" Yumichika said coming towards the desk and looking at the packages. "The place looks spotless and beautiful"
"No problem!" Rukia said happily. Yumichika looked to Rukia; he was a bit taken back by Rukia's happiness. Rangiku eyed her suspiciously too. Rukia was never a person with bad attitude but she was never this peppy. At the same time, Yumichika and Rangiku's eyes landed on the ring on Rukia's finger.
"AHHHHHH" Both Yumichika and Rangiku screamed! Rukia jumped up in surprised as they screamed and ran to grab Rukia's hand.
Shuhei ran out the storage room in a panic when he heard the screams. He was upset to see it was just Yumichika and Rangiku getting overly excited.
"Is this what I think it is?" Rangiku asked
Rukia smiled and nodded.
"AHHHHHHHH" Both Yumichika and Rangiku squealed again. "He knows you're pregnant?" they asked in unison
"Well no" Rukia admitted, this conversation was too much like what she just had with Shuhei.
"But he proposed" they both said again in unison which Rukia found weird
"Yes, that he did"
"So he proposed to you" Yumichika started, "but he had no idea you are pregnant" Rangiku finished.
"Pretty much" Rukia said chuckling
"THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!" Yumichika and Rangiku squealed!
"Thanks guys, but I will tell him eventually." Rukia said. "She just has to find the right time" Shuhei added, deciding to join the conversation. Rangiku looked at Shuhei to catch any emotion he may give off since hearing the news of Rukia's engagement but he showed none.
"Well guys, enough chatting, let us finish setting up before we have to open the doors" Yumichika ordered. Rukia and Rangiku followed their boss as he gave them assignments. Shuhei simply watched as Rukia followed. He began to think back to the day where he saw Rukia again after not seeing her since high school.
FLASHBACK
"This is the bar, if you need to get anything just let me know" Shuhei heard Kiyone say to someone. He was waiting for her to finish speaking to a new employee that they hired at the corner café.
"Hey Kiyone" He said in order to get her attention.
"Oh hello, Shuhei! It's not Thursday, what are you doing here?" She asked. "I just came to get my check from last week. Yoruichi said I could come get it today."
"Oh okay, well I was just training our new waitress" Kiyone said, she stepped aside and revealed the small raven haired beauty who Shuhei automatically recognized.
"Her name is Rukia Kuchiki" Kiyone said. Rukia looked up and saw that she knew this man.
"Rukia, this is Shuhei! He plays Thursday nights here. He is a great guitarist" Kiyone stated.
"I'm not that good, Kiyone" Shuhei said blushing a bit. Rukia smiled at him. Kiyone noticed Yoruichi talking to an orange haired man. "I have to go greet a customer, I will be back" Kiyone said leaving Rukia and Shuhei alone.
"You went to Seireitei High right?" Shuhei asked.
"Yes, I did, it's nice to see you again Shuhei" Rukia greeted.
"Yes it is. Have you been in Karakura all this time?"
"No, I just moved here from Kyoto with my son" Rukia replied.
"Oh you have a kid, that's great" Shuhei said, he noticed she didn't have a band on her finger so she was probably a single mother. "Are you and Renji still friends?"
"Best friends, he actually got a job in Tokyo as a detective" Rukia said proudly. Shuhei remembered both Renji and Rukia. Renji was tall with red hair that he had in a pony tail, he had a few tribal tattoos also. Renji was friends with Shuhei, Rangiku, Yumichika and many others but Rukia kept to herself. Shuhei didn't know much about her. Rukia was nice to them but never close to them. All he knew is that she only trusted Renji.
"Sounds like he is doing well" Shuhei said. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful Rukia still was. But he noticed she was a bit easier to talk to.
"Is playing the guitar a hobby?"
"Yeah I guess, I love music, but that doesn't play the bills" He joked. Rukia gave him a small smile. Shuhei wanted to ask her if he could take her out. He was trying to find the words but Kiyone came and interrupted.
"Hey Rukia, one of our usual customers is here and I think you should have him be your first customer" Kiyone suggested. Rukia nodded and followed Kiyone to the table.
Shuhei watched as Rukia went to greet the orange haired customer. He has seen the guy before. He was a medical student who ate in the corner café many times. He could see the guy was attracted to Rukia which annoyed him but he doubted Rukia would ever fall for a guy like the med school guy.
SIX MONTHS LATER…
Rukia was cleaning up as the café was about to close. Shuhei was packing up his equipment as today was his last Thursday performing since maintenance job was getting more demanding.
Rukia stopped cleaning to sneak a look at Shuhei. Over the time she had worked there, Shuhei had become a good friend to her. He was there to listen when she just needed to sit talk on Thursdays.
"Aren't you sad" Rukia said. Shuhei realized the question was for him.
"Why would I be? He asked.
"You love playing that guitar, you love music, and you love to perform, you are giving that up" Rukia said looking at him
"I will still play and write music. Maybe I will come back and perform again one day"
"I hope you do" Rukia said. Shuhei smiled and finished backing up his equipment. He got of the little stage and looked at the waitress as she cleaned up the table.
"What about you Rukia?" Shuhei asked walking toward her.
"What about me?"
"Don't you have something that you love? And I know it's not serving food to men that hit on you" He joked
"Well I love art, that's what I was studying in college before I dropped out" Rukia confessed. Shuhei felt saddened hearing that. In the time he had known Rukia, all he wanted to do was help her. That's when he had a bright idea.
"I have a tenant; actually he is Yumichika Ayasegawa, who went to high school with us. He just opened an art gallery in the building I supervise. I could see about a job working there." Shuhei suggested
"Are you serious?" Rukia squealed. "That would be so great"
"Yeah I can talk to him tomorrow" He said smiling. He could see the excitement in Rukia's face. There happy moment was interrupted when a voice called Rukia's name.
Rukia spun around to see her boyfriend, the orange haired bastard. "Hey Ichigo" Rukia said walking over to him. He kissed her lightly and Shuhei watched in jealousy. "What are you doing here?" She said smiling.
"I came to help you pick up Mamoru and take you home, it supposed to rain tonight." He said. Rukia blushed and thanked him. Shuhei hated the fact that when Ichigo came around Rukia would forget everything else around her. When Rukia first confessed she loved Ichigo it broke Shuhei's heart but he never gave up.
"Did you need a ride home too?" Ichigo asked Shuhei. Shuhei shook out his thought and shook his head. "No need but thanks." Ichigo nodded. Rukia gathered her belongings and bid Shuhei farewell as she left hand in hand with Ichigo.
He hated Ichigo, even though he had always treated Rukia with respect, he was jealous of Ichigo.
END OF FLASHBACK
#####
Ichigo was knee deep in paper work when he heard a couple of firm knocks at his door.
"Come in" Ichigo said as he kept reading patient files.
"Hello Kurosaki" a male voice aid to him. Ichigo knew the voice to well. It was his "friend" and one of Karakura's top surgeons Uryu Ishida.
Ichigo looked up to see his friend who was studying the mess of an office he had entered. Uryu was skinny a little shorter than Ichigo who was 6'1. He had black hair and glasses. He was the stereotypical nerd. Ichigo and Ishida have been friends and rivals since they were 15. Both of them attended college and med school together. Uryu's father owns the hospital so both of them where able to get jobs there but Ichigo just wanted to be a family physician and Uryu wanted to be a surgeon
"What's up Ishida?" Ichigo said not paying him much attention.
"Your office is a mess" Uryu commented
"Well I have patients to care for my office maintenance is the least of my worries" Ichigo retorted.
"Too bad, I'm the actually the person saving lives" Uryu replied.
"Did you come here to sound like an ass or did you want something?" Ichigo asked annoyed
"Well I just came here to tell you, Orihime invited us to her house warming party tonight"
"She got a new place?" Ichigo asked. He hadn't spoken to Orihime in a while since he had been so busy with work and Rukia.
"Yeah, nice studio apartment, she got promoted to co-manager at the Baking and Catering place she has been working at"
"Oh wow, good for her, but I don't know about a party" Ichigo said. He hated parties; he would rather just hang out with a few friends
"Tatsuki told me to tell you that she will skin you alive if you don't come" Uryu added. Ichigo sighed in defeat.
"I guess I have to go" Ichigo gave in. "You think I can bring a guest?"
"I don't see why not, I'm bringing Nemu" Uryu stated. Nemu was Uryu's girlfriend for about 2 weeks now. Nice girl, but she didn't say much
"I guess I'll bring my fiancé" Ichigo said non chalantly.
"FIANCE? Ichigo you proposed?" Uryu asked. "Yup" Ichigo said with the biggest grin on his face. Uryu had never seen Ichigo this happy before but he couldn't focus on that.
"Why would you bring her to Orihime's party, you know she is still in love with you right?" Uryu stated
"Why do you guys keep saying that? Orihime is not in love with me" Ichigo said annoyed.
"It is so obvious; The girl has loved you since high school"
"If so then why did her and Senna get along so well, when I was dating Senna" Ichigo inquired. That's when Uryu realized the worst.
"SHIT! Ichigo, you know Orihime might invite Senna" Uryu reminded. "Have you even told Rukia about her"
"No I haven't, and I don't need to, it's in the past" Ichigo said trying to look away from the accusing eyes of Uryu.
"It's not the past if it effects your present and future" Uryu said.
"It's in the PAST! Plus Senna does that annual trip to Australia for her company for three months"
"How do you know that?"
"She has been head of public relations for that company for 4 years; she has done the trip every year."
"Maybe she shouldn't have done the trip last year" Uryu mumbled. Ichigo glared at him. "Fuck you" Ichigo cursed. Uryu flipped him off and headed for the door.
Once Uryu reached the door he turned back to look at Ichigo who was looking at his picture of Rukia.
"How do you think Rukia is going to feel when she finds out you started your relationship with her while you were still engaged to Senna?" He said to Ichigo before leaving him in his thoughts. Ichigo clenched his fists as he opened his drawer and looked at his old picture with a woman with shoulder length black hair and beautiful orange yellow eyes.
#####
In Tokyo, at the city police department, a young detective with long red hair sat at his desk thinking about his best friend. The office was simple, a desk, huge windows to see most of the office and a door with a blurred window that had "Detective Renji Abarai" on it.
He looked to the picture frame of him and the violet eyed girl at their graduation and another picture of him the girl and her son in kimonos at a fireworks festival.
He made several attempts to call her, for the past two weeks but she never answered. He was getting worried and already booked the next flight to Karakura.
"Detective Abarai?" a voice said through the intercom on his phone.
"Yes?" he answered
"There is man here to see you" the voice said.
"Send him in" he said. Renji Abarai would see who this man was then get on that flight to go see his best friend Rukia and his godson Mamoru.
Once the door opened and Renji saw the man who walked in, Renji's whole body went cold. The man who walked in was about his height, which was 6'2. He had long black hair and gray eyes that showed no emotion at all.
"Good Afternoon Renji" the man spoke. Renji could feel it hard to speak. He was indeed afraid of his man.
"Good Afternoon Mr. Kuchiki, C-Can I help with something sir" Renji said trying to sound calm and respectful.
"I just came to personally invite you to the Annual Kuchiki Banquet at one of the Kuchiki mansions" He said looking around. Renji was happy; he had put away the pictures of Rukia and Mamoru. Renji then realized what he had said.
"Mr. Kuchiki, I already received the invitation a month ago. I will be attending and bringing my current girlfriend with me" Renji said. Mr. Kuchiki flashed a rare smile then walked up to Renji's desk. Renji had no idea what the man was about to do.
Mr. Kuchiki opens his coat, pulls out a cream colored envelope and sets it face down on Renji's desk. "This invitation is not for you" He said. Before Renji can retort, the man turns around and smoothly leaves Renji's office.
Renji finally catches his breath and his body returns to normal, that man, Byakuya Kuchiki, could make any man hide in fear.
He looked down at the envelope and picked it up. He turned it around and his eyes widened when he saw the name the invitation was for.
"Rukia Kuchiki"
That was Chapter 1. Longest chapter I have ever written in my fanfiction career.
I know it is a lot for a first chapter but I kind of want to give you an idea of where the plot is coming from.
In case you don't get what happened here is the breakdown:
