Author's Notes: e.e Rampant OOCness. /hides under a rock/


Kuchiki Byakuya is protective of his adopted sister. Very much so. He knows that one day, Rukia will be all grown up (not that she already isn't, but he isn't ready to admit that yet) and that she will find some man and they'll fall in love and live happily ever after and have children.

if he let that happen. He is, after all, Rukia's brother. And it isn't like he iss going to let just anyone have her.

It's something that brings the Eleventh division captain and him together over a cup of sake, sometimes.

"Like hell I'll let Yachiru star' datin'," Kenpachi growls, banging his sake cup against the table, rattling Byakuya's. Byakuya nods in agreement, but he privately wonders if any boy will ever find the courage to approach the hyperactive, pink-headed, yet undeniably dangerous little girl.

Probably not, and Kenpachi probably raised her like that on purpose.

"I'm not inclined to leave Rukia to anyone, either," he says smoothly, in that elegant pretty-boy tone of his.

He recalls the time he learned that the fifth seat of the Eleventh division had his eye on Rukia. He also remembers the time he learned that his vice-captain, Abarai Renji, had had a crush on his sister for a very long time. Naturally, he took action.

Abarai-fukutaichou was a happy relationship with Izuru-fukutaichou, and Ayasegawa-san was currently with Hisagi-san. (Though he couldn't quite take full credit for turning Ayasegawa-san.)

Byakuya knows he cannot keep all the boys away from his little sister. But he can sure as hell try – continuing his efforts with one orange-haired substitute shingami.

"Kurosaki Ichigo," Kuchiki Byakuya all but purrs, the syllables dripping from his tongue (his skilled tongue) in an elegant, seductive manner.

Ichigo swallows visibly, backing up against the wall, trying to edge away from the oncoming sixth division captain. It's hard though, seeing as Byakuya seems to want to shove his tongue down the teenage shinigami's throat, and he can't deny that the thought is a turn on.

"Uh, Byakuya…"

Byakuya notes the flush that spread across Kurosaki Ichigo's cheeks, and the quickening of breath. He stalks towards the boy like a predator after prey – ah, the things he did to keep people away from his sister.

Pinning the boy up against the wall is all he has time for when –

"ICHIGO!" Rukia yells, throwing the door to Renji's office open, hoping the boy will be there.

He is, except he isn't alone.

"Ichi- … Nii-sama? …"

She pauses, taking in Byakuya's smirk, and Ichigo's flustered appearance before slowly backing away and sprinting from the room. Three weeks later, Sereitei learns that Kurosaki Ichigo is with Ukitake Jyushirou, of all people.

And the Shinigami Women's Association wonders why all the decent males in Sereitei are gay.
