A/N: I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile now (even though I CANNOT write romance fics as it is...). As much as I like the Byakuya/Rukia pairing, I also support Byakuya/Hisana too. This will be their story, told in a collection of 10 drabblish (but chronological) chapters. Unlike my ATLA collection, these are going in order (somewhat) and will tell one story. This first "chapter" will be considered a prologue, hence its number #00.
Dedicated to my friend and "sister" Hisana-chan. :D
00. Unbreakable
------------
He can't help it - he is in love. It's undeniable.
He finds it amazing he could know what "love" truly feels like.
"True love" was supposedly something unattainable in his world.
According to most, he was a "stoic man with a heart as thick and unbreakable as ice." That ice was believed to be impossible to melt.
Yet, if that was true, how could she have found a way through that icy barrier, shattering it with her gentle words and touch?
How? How could he have fallen for her?
To him, it is quite simple. She is something "different", something he can't easily have.
Being a noble, he could have access to any rich girl he wanted - along with more money, influence, and power.
But he finds that all he wants is her - a mere Rukongai peasant, of all people!
Just imagining the protests that would erupt from the Kuchiki elders stops his breath. And yet…
