Hey Guys! Still no reviews for Remember When Prologue chapter 4, but I won't complain because it was only posted yesterday. But seriously you should read it, it is seriously funny if I do say so myself. Anyway, this is going to be an A to Z kind of fic, which referrs to the 26. It will be a bunch of nonrelated little moments between my favorite couple. Now anyone who is still reading the Remember When story don't be alarmed, it will continue. But, since I plan for it to be a rather long story, people be warned that I'll be trying to do a lot of other things in between. Okay, that's enough chatter. On with the story!

Disclaimer-My imagination is the only thing I own.

Chapter 1-A is for Announcement

"Are you sure about this?" Ichigo asked, following his girlfriend into her rather large and spacious room. "Of course I'm sure fool," Rukia answered, clossing the door behind them. "Brother said he would be staying late at his office today to finish some buisness. Besides, would you rather try this in your crowded house?" "No." "Alright then." And with that, the couple wrapped their arms around each other and collapsed on Rukia's king-sized bed.

This was the one free day the two had gotten together in ages, but they had been unable to properly enjoy themselves because of Ichigo's family. Both Karin and Yuzu had invited friends over, not to mention Isshin just seemed to be everywhere. And so they had hightailed it out of there and all the way back to the Soul Society at Rukia's suggestion to her huge mansion. They were now engaged in a very hot makeout session.

Ichigo's tongue grazed Rukia's bottom lip, asking for permission. Smiling inwardly, Rukia granted him entrance and their tongues began a dance. Rukia's fingers were tangled in Ichigo's wild orange locks, while his fingers managed to stray in between the flaps of her robes. Soon enough both Ichigo and Rukia's robes were discarded, laying in a tangled heap on the floor. Rukia soon found herself exploring Ichigo's rock-hard abs and chest, while he ran his fingers along her delicate skin, making her shiver.

She arched her back and moaned as he cupped her breasts, her nipples hardening and straining against the fabric of her bra. A harsh intake of breath from the doorway had Ichigo and Rukia springing apart and looking up nervously into the horror-stricken face of Byakuya Kuchiki. For a moment, nobody moved, nobody spoke, nobody even breathed. And then Byakuya spoke, his voice low and menacing. "The two of you have aproximately five seconds to put on your garments and meet me in my study." And then he left in a rush of movement.

As soon as the door closed, Ichigo scurried off the bed, snatched up his robes and put them on. He was so filled with fear that he could barely form coherent thoughts. His first instinct was to scold Rukia for getting them in this situation, but when he turned to glance at her, his anger evaporated to be replaced by worry. She looked almost catatonic, the way she just sat frozen, still half-naked, her unblinking gaze permanently fixed on the door that her brother had just disappeared through.

"Rukia," he said slowly, waving his hand in front of her face. No response. "Hey Ruk, I really don't think we should keep that brother of yours waiting," he tried again, handing her her clothes. Still nothing. "C'mon Rukia, it'll be okay..." "Okay," she whispered, finally coming out of her trance.

"He'll kill me." "I won't let that happen..." "He'll unadopt me." "I seriously doubt that..." "No, no, no, what am I going to do," she cried, burrying her head in her hands. Ichigo took her firmly by the shoulders, and forced her to look up into his eyes.

"Your going to stand up to him, that's what your going to do," he said firmly. "But Ichigo..." He put a finger to her lips, silencing her. "Don't worry, I know you can do it. And I'll be there with you the entire time." A small smile graced Rukia's face. "Your right. Thank you, Ichigo." "No problem." They shared a quick kiss before Rukia hurriedly dressed, and they ran out to face her brother.

Rukia entered the study ahead of Ichigo, her back rigidly straight and her chin held high. Byakuya raised an eyebrow at her appearance. He looked marginally less angry then before, the hot cup of tea clutched in his hands most likely helping with that. "So sister, is there something you'd like to say?" he asked fixing his potent Kuchiki glare on her.

Rukia fought the urge to falter under his stern gaze. She could almost feel Ichigo whispering to her to be strong. "Yes brother, there is an announcement I'd like to make," she said icily. "Ichigo and I have decided to enter into a relationship, and I am not ashamed by what you just saw. If you do not wish to see such things, then maybe you should think before barging into one's personal quarters without even knocking first." Ichigo couldn't stop the spike of pride that went through him at his girlfriend's guts.

"Yeah Byakuya, theres these things called locks that you could buy to avoid things like this," he spoke up, feeling bold. Anger spiked in Byakuya, and he turned his sharp gaze to Ichigo. "Boy, I would thank you to keep your sarcastic comments out of this conversation until I am ready to speak to you." Turning back to his sister he said, "Maybe you have forgotten, but this is my house, and if I feel like entering a room then I will do as such. And on the matter of your daliance with Kurosaki I do not aprove of it, and I demand that you cease associating yourself with him at once."

Rukia's spiritual pressure grew icy, and the temperature slowly began to drop. "I will have you know that whether you aprove or not is irrelevant, and I will do no such thing." Byakuya looked taken aback. He had been sure that his last remark would have nailed her to the floor. Though he didn't like being spoken to in this manner by his younger sister, he had to admit it was a good thing that her will was improving.

He did not let this show on his face however. Sighing in resignation, he turned back to address his sister. "First and foremost Rukia, you will cease speaking to me in this rude manner at once." "Yes brother," she said meekly. It was true, she had just stood up to him, but there was a limit to how far she could go after years of submission.

"Now, you should know that I was testing you just now, and you passed." "What do you mean brother?" she asked. "You see, people did not aprove of Hisana and I as well, but that did not stop us, as I can now see it will not stop you. Don't get too optimistic however, I still dislike Kurosaki and that will not change, but I will allow you to remain in his presence." "Oh, thank you brother," Rukia said smiling. "However," Byakuya began with a grimace.

"I do not wish to ever, ever see something so..." He shuddered. "So ungodly ever again, do you understand?" Rukia hesitated before crossing her fingers behind her back. "Yes brother." "Very well, you are dismissed Rukia." Without another word, Rukia turned and began to leave the room. Ichigo made to follow her, but was halted when Byakuya said, "I don't remember dismissing you Kurosaki."

"But brother, what could you ever have to say to him?" Rukia questioned, trying to get him out of it. "Don't worry about it Rukia, this is between me and him," Byakuya said dismissively. Rukia looked at Ichigo. "It's okay Ruk, go on ahead," Ichigo assured confidently. Rukia nodded, and gave him a small smile of encouragement before leaving the room.

"So Byakuya, what's on your mind?" Ichigo asked nonchalantly. In a flash, Byakuya was in front of him, grasping him by the collar and glaring him down. "You better listen Kurosaki, and listen good. You better treat my sister like the lady she is, and with the respect she so desserves. And if you ever hurt her in any way, I will cut you up until your flesh and blood are indistinguishable from each other." "Wow Byakuya, you really do care," Ichigo said mockingly, pushing him away. Seeing that Byakuya was about to explode, Ichigo got serious.

"First of all, I would never hurt Rukia. Second of all, you are so not one to talk about treating her the way she should be treated. And third of all, I'd like to see you try." And with those last words, Ichigo stalked out of the study, leaving Byakuya standing dumbly in the middle of the room. As soon as Ichigo entered Rukia's room, she threw herself into his arms. He squeezed her tightly against him.

"You did great," he said, kissing her neck. "Thanks to you," she said fondly. "By the way, what did he want with you?" "Oh, nothing really, he just tried to threaten me," Ichigo said. "Oh and by the way, I saw those fingers cross." Rukia's face turned crimson. "Well you see, it's just that..." "It's no problem Ruk," Ichigo said slyly. "It's just that, I guess i'm going to have to be the one who buys you the lock."

LOL, that was so much fun. Hey, here's a brain teaser for you guys. You know the line Byakuya used about cutting Ichigo up, well I actually stole that from a Bleach episode. The exact line was "let's cut her up until her flesh and blood are indistinguishable from each other." Now can anyone tell me who said that line, who did they say it to, and in which episode did it happen. You can tell me in your Review, and if nobody can figure it out by next week then I'll tell you in my author's notes for Remember When chapter 5.
