(OTTER'SNOTE: Just forget that you read the 'dudes in white stole my bankai' arc which means that Byakuya didn't die and we can all have our good time. I don't own anything except for my red bleached hair.)

PROLOGUE

Since the beginning everybody knows that Ichigo and Rukia would be a pair and eventually tie themselves together. It was only a matter of time when Ichigo proposed and spent 1 week of his life in the 4th division. Yes, Byakuya Kuchiki was furious adding to Abarai's despair when the stacks of paper in his desk comparably challenge Matsumoto's. As for Byakuya, spending his time arguing and defending Rukia's right for marriage to the clan elders was hard especially for the fact that he was also against the marriage but for the sake of Rukia's happiness, he could only sigh (and bankai Ichigo to death).

It was settled that the wedding would be at the world of the living to honor the Kurosakis with a traditional Japanese motif, it was also settled that the pair would continue to serve soul society. They would stay in the world of the living, as for Rukia she would still work as a vice-captain. The whole ordeal was indeed radical.

Karin was not surprised. His brother left the nest 4 years ago and lived in his own, she was sure that one day he and Rukia would settle down. On the contrary her twin was squealing and hugging the breath out of the poor shinigami in front of her. The bringer of the news was the bride-to-be.

"oi Yuzu, Rukia can't breathe."

"nani? Oh! gomenasai Rukia-chan, I got carried away." Unlocking herself from Rukia, Yuzu looked at her twin.

"Ahm welcome to the family Rukia." Then Karin pointed at the living room.

"You sure you want to meet dad, we can always tie him down for you in case of his sudden hysterics attack." Karin added tappign Rukia at the shoulder.

"I'll be fine, thanks anyway." Off she goes.

Karin mentally counted from one to fifteen, spotting his father at the corner she tried to run but together with Yuzu they were brought at their mother's picture, Rukia in tow.

The three were smothered.

"Oh Masaki! Our children all grown up!" Isshin cried his manly tears. Squeezing the breath out of the three.

"Soon Ichigo and our new child, Rukia, all in all will have 40 grandchildren! FOUUUUUUU~.."

Rukia gaped her mouth while Karin whacked her dad in the head.

"Dad, they are going to marry not populating the planet…are you?" Karin gazed at Rukia who was now beet red.

Isshin still crying his manly tears out either for his ever-growing family or for the formerly received blow. Yuzu cried with his father making Karin face-palm.

"Well for the sixteen years I've been with this family we sure do have a lot of these moments" Karin grinned then shook her head."You sure you want to be a part of it?"

"Certainly" Rukia replied with bright purple eyes.
