Chapter 1,Beginning

It was a warm March day in Karakura Town,but it was a sad day too,for Rukia Kuchiki,and two other people. Rukia sobbed really loudly on the table in her house. She was crying because she just got the news about her lover/husband,Ichigo Kurosaki going missing all of a sudden in Soul Society,while fighting a swarm of Gillian-class Menos. She had been crying like this ever since her friend,Renji Abarai,and her Nii-sama,Byakuya Kuchiki,told her about the news.

"Don't cry Rukia,everything will be alright." said Renji while putting his hand on Rukia's shoulder. As soon as he put his hand on her shoulder,she smacked his hand,meaning she didn't want to be touched.

"No,everything won't be fine,Renji." mumbled Rukia from the table. "It won't."

Renji sighed. He hadn't seen Rukia like this in a long time. It made him sad to see that his friend like sister was this sad.

"What about you,Rukia? What if Ichigo never returned? Would you end your life?" asked Byakuya to his little sister.

Rukia raised her head up from the table. "No,I wouldn't end my life if Ichigo never returned. I can't,not when I have to raise them." said Rukia.

She was referring to her and Ichigo's two children,that she gave birth to 1 and ½ years ago. "I can't give up on life."

"You know Rukia,if you want,you and the kids can live at Soul Society in the Kuchiki manor." said Byakuya.

"Thank you but no,Nii-sama. I want to stay here with them. What if Ichigo comes back? And if we move to Soul Society,what home will he be able to-"

She was cut off by a little girl with brown hair, who looked like she was about 1 and ½ years old or 2, wearing a yellow chappy dress,while holding a chappy doll in her hand . "Mommy?" asked the little girl in a soft voice.

Rukia sat straight up when she heard her voice. "Tsuki..." said Rukia. This was one of Rukia's twins,the other one being a boy named Kazuki.

"Why is Oji-San and Renji here?" asked Tsuki. She looked around the room. "Where's Oto-San?" This broke Rukia's heart even more. To hear her daughter ask where her daddy was.

"Tsuki,why aren't you in bed with Kazuki?" asked Rukia as she kept the tears from falling down on her cheeks.

"Cuz you were crying." answered Tsuki. This made Rukia's tears fall down her cheeks.

"Mommy?"

"Um,Tsuki,your daddy went-" Renji was cut off by Byakuya. Rukia went and picked up Tsuki,and hugged her tightly.

"Mommy,what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong with mommy,Tsuki. I'm fine." said Rukia through her tears. "Now let's put you back into bed." said Rukia,this time with a smile on her face. Before Rukia left the room, she said to Byakuya and Renji to leave. So they did.

"Remember Rukia,if you need anything,just call me." said Renji.

"Sure,whatever you say Renji." And with that,they left. And Rukia put Tsuki back into bed with her brother.

While Renji and Byakuya were walking out of the house,they heard a sound.

"It sounds like Kazuki." said Renji. "I'm gonna go check it out."

Byakuya sighed,and followed Renji to Kazuki and Tsuki's bedroom window. The window was opened,so they were able to hear everything clearly.

"Why are you crying?" asked Kazuki.

"Because...your father..." said Rukia.

"What about Oto-San,Mommy?" asked Tsuki.

"He went missing." answered Rukia tearfully. Then she started to cry even more. Along with Tsuki.

"No,he can't be." said Kazuki trying to hold back his tears. Slowly,Renji shut the window for the room from outside.

"She told them,I can't believe she did that." said Renji.

"Come Renji,we must go back to Soul Society." said Byakuya. He than opened a Senkaimon for them to return to Soul Society.
