Ichigo Kurosaki, the vampire lord of his clan, stared at the luminescent sky. He always stood out on the balcony of his castle just to take in her scent and watch her. The Kuchiki princess of the royal vampire clan had once been his ten years ago and nothing could stand in the way of their relationship. That was until someone in his clan killed Rukia's mother. Sosuke Aizen had long disappeared after that night, but if he ever found him he would kill him in the most brutal of ways possible.

Ichigo watched her with his amber eyes. He watched as she successfully finished slaying hundreds of werewolves at once. If only they weren't rivals. He would love to sink his fangs into that creamy white neck of hers and mark her as forever his, but he lost his chance because Aizen was such a cock block. In fact she was now engaged to that asshole Renji Abarai. He always heard them fighting and he even heard rumors that Renji beats on her. Now Ichigo wasn't one to come to conclusions but whether Renji was a rival or not Ichigo would kill him on the spot.

Looking up at the moon, remembering everything from that night, Ichigo couldn't handle the pain

"Rukia, I will be the lord over my clan soon. I would like you to be my queen and help me rule the clan."

"Ichigo, I don't know what my father would say."

"Who cares when tonight you'll really be mine." He said giving her a chaste kiss on the lips.

Ichigo put his hand to her head and read her thoughts. He saw all the moments they had together and of how much she wanted this too, so Ichigo pulled the hair away from her neck baring his fangs which shined in the moonlight. Rukia tensed and waited for him to mark her. He loved drinking her blood but biting her on the neck was different from all the other times, it kept all of those other males away from her. It showed she was his and that nothing could ever change that.

"Rukia! Get away from him. Sosuke Aizen has just killed your mother and you want to mate with that boy?"

Rukia quickly got out of his grasp. She gave him a death glare and ran crying to Byakuya.

"I suggest you get out of here, boy before I kill you. I don't care if you're a hybrid or not. You have no right dating my daughter and then having one of your comrades murder her mother!"

"B-but I didn't order shit, Byakuya!" Ichigo pleaded.

"I trusted you." Rukia said looking at him with tears streaming down her face.

Ichigo closed his eyes and clenched his fist. The pain was to much to bare so he headed inside to join his clan. He would come outside at the same time again just to make sure she was safe. Being half human he could be out in the sun but Rukia was a full blooded vampire so she could not. Her safety was still the number one thing in his eyes. Even if she hated him he still loved her no matter what. Rukia Kuchiki will care about him someday and he'll make sure of it. Even before she marries Renji. He has got to get through to her somehow.

Ichigo opened his eyes to look down one more time before he went inside and saw her looking back at him, her violet orbs shining brightly in the moonlight. She adorned a poker face. Ichigo stared into her eyes and then walked off.

"These damn werewolves. I wish they would stop breeding."

"We could say the same thing about your kind, too! Now die, you bitch!."

Rukia sighed as she cut his head off with a her sword. Either she was strong or they were too easy.

After the werewolves were slain she looked up like she did every night. Ichigo Kurosaki always looked down on her and she was well aware he watched her every night. Her father swears up and down he killed her mother. Rukia does still hold a grudge against him because it was his clan who had murdered her mother.

Even though she had dreamed of being his queen and starting a family with him. It would be the first time a hybrid mated with a full blooded vampire. Her father told her if her and Kurosaki were to have children other clans would be out to kill them because of their brute strength. Ichigo was stronger than any full blooded vampire while he also had abilities none of them had. He was faster, he could read minds, he could suck the life out of someone by touching them and using his mind to take their life. He could also kill faster then anyone she knew.

Her father was the one who set them up to eventually be mates. When her mother was killed that all changed and now Renji was suppose to be with her. Every time he went to mark her she would punch him in the face. He also beat on her, even when she knew she was stronger than that, but for some reason she felt like she deserved it. She always lied about the bruises on her arms and whole body. Everyone thinks she's nothing but a big klutz. Sometimes she wishes she could just talk to Ichigo one more time.

Ichigo took his cup of blood and drank it casually as he watched his vampire clan chat away. Everything was nice and quiet until the front doors to his castle were burst open by his guards.

"Lord Kurosaki, we're being attacked by Sosuke Aizen and his clan!"

"I thought he was dead or something!" Ichigo yelled back.

"Hurry, Lord Kurosaki! He is killing many of our warriors and he said after he kills us all he would be heading to the Kuchiki mansion to wipe them all out as well."

"The hell he is." Ichigo growled and with that he was outside in one second.

He scowled at all of the dead bodies that covered the ground. Ichigo's eyes turned red and his fangs grew a little longer. He knew where Aizen was headed and he wasn't about to let him wipe out the Kuchiki clan. Ichigo sped off and in an instant he was in front of Aizen.

"Long time no see, Lord Kurosaki." Aizen said surprised.

"Do not enter that castle." Ichigo said baring his fangs.

"Sorry, someone is already in there and you're just a little too late."

Ichigo flew forward and grabbed Aizen's throat.

"I won't hesitate to kill you. I can suck the life out of you right now if I pleased!" Ichigo said growling.

"Ah, but look, Ichigo. It would seem that Ulquiorra has your beloved Rukia by the neck."

Ichigo's head shot up as he narrowed his gaze on Ulquiorra, who was holding her up by the neck getting ready to stab her. He instantly dropped Aizen to the ground and quickly grabbed the knife out of Ulquiorra's hand.

Rukia couldn't breathe and Ichigo knew that so he put his hand on Rukia's neck and went to close his eyes but as he did so Ulquiorra quickly dropped Rukia and flew next to Aizen.

"You're such a nuisance, Kurosaki. We will be back to kill you all off. When you least expect it, Kurosaki."

With that said both Aizen and Ulquiorra disappeared.

Ichigo looked down at an unconscious Rukia. He put his hand on her face and stroked it.

She put her hand upon his.

"I-Ichigo…," Rukia smiled at him.

"I believed you sent him out to kill my mother but I guess I was wrong, huh?"

"Yeah, I can't believe you doubted me like that."

"Rukia are you, okay?" Renji exclaimed running next to his fallen lover.

"I'm fine. Ichigo saved me."

Renji quickly growled and bared his fangs at Ichigo.

"Don't you ever touch her again or I'll rip you to shreds."

Ichigo's eyes turned red and he growled back at Renji.

"I saved her that's all but if you want to turn this into an all out war, then I'll be more then glad to accommodate your wishes."

"Rukia hates you! Why would you even save her?"

Ichigo just flew off without a word. He wasn't in the mood to fight with that dumb ass tonight. The thought of her face made his night. She actually smiled at him. She would probably be back to being a bitch though once she wakes up from her slumber.

"Renji, I need you to go get Ichigo Kurosaki and bring him here immediately." Byakuya said looking serious.

"Lord Byakuya, I don't understand why I must go fetch that low life. He touched Rukia and she is suppose to be my future mate."

"That may be so, but the fact of the matter is he saved Rukia. I need you to call him here so I can apologize to him and so that we can start this war with another strong clan as our ally and not as our enemy. Ichigo Kurosaki's clan is to help ours in defeating Sosuke Aizen! I will go into more detail when you bring him here."

"Yes sir!" Renji hurried off quickly.

Rukia opened her eyes. The feeling of his hand being on her face stayed with her. She still hated him though.

"He's still a baka." Rukia said to herself.

She held a grudge because he purposely fucked that Riruka girl on the balcony of his castle that one time so she would see. She was thankful when she saw that he didn't bite her and that afterward he told her to leave but it hurt her for him to even do that in the moon light for her to witness. He wasn't hers at the time but it pissed her off. She has so many questions for him. She will have to beat them out of him and show him how pissed off she has been for these past ten years. She always had dreams about him. Sometimes she wondered if he purposely gave her those dreams by entering her mind while she's sleeping.

Rukia snuggled against her pillow and for the first time in forever she let the tears fall.
