~What will life bring today if not more pain and sorrow? ~

A tall stoic man was rearranging his desk for the third time in the same month. The head of the Kuchiki manor was acting a bit frantic lately. After losing his adopted sister to a certain subordinate of his, Byakuya couldn't keep still anymore. He had to be doing different things in order to prevent thinking of his lonely life. And today, after 5 years of making any social contact with the world of the living, he would return to see all of the 13 gotei court guards and the once ryoka that interfered with Seretei's peace five years ago.

'Why must I go to Kurosaki's wedding?' he pondered.

Outside of the squad 6 building, was Renji sneaking into his taicho's office to surprise him. As he shunpo'd over to Byakuya's desk, he was halted.

"What do you want Renji?" Byakuya asked.

"Sorry Kuchiki-Taicho, I just..uhm…wanted to startle you that was all." Renji answered a bit worried of what Byakuya would to unleash on him.

"Just because you have gained the right to be my brother in law, you have no authority to feel so comfortable around me with such confidence. I am still your boss and you are still my subordinate. I don't know what a noble could see in you?"

"I apologize Taicho. Speaking of which, Rukia said that we'll be heading out to the world of the living in 25 minutes, so be ready!" Renji said as he walked towards the entrance of Byakuya's office, "Oh and make sure to look presentable" he said with a monotonic voice as he stopped at the door.

"Don't worry Abarai, I always do." he said with no expression.

"Let's see what the women in earth think about that!" Renji grinned and left as soon as possible before facing the consequences.

'Why must that delinquent mock my relationship status...Isshin what are you thinking letting that boy get married at such a young age. Inoue, I hope you have thought about the situation as well.' He thought as he glided across his office to the door to exit.


"Orihime…ORIHIME!"

"..Oh, Hi Tatsuki-chan, What's up?" Orihime asked somewhat dazed.

"AH Orihime, your life, long dream is about to come true and you're still day dreaming. What am I gonna do with that thick skull of yours?" Tatsuki retaliated .

"Aww Tatsuki-chan, you've never had a problem with my imagination before, what's the matter?" Orihime asked a bit confused on why she would ask such a question.

"The matter Orihime, is that you are about to be wed in 2 hours to prince charming and you still don't have your dress on!" the tom-boy exclaimed!

Silence…That face that Orihime always puts on when she's sad or mad wasn't even attempted.

'Was this really a hard decision?' Tatsuki wondered.

Tatsuki went over to Orihime's side on the couch and pulled her arm around her to embrace her. She cooed and rocked her into a steady rhythm.

"Hime…look, I'm not going to lie to you and say everything is going to be alright, because to tell you the truth I know not one thing about love. All I know is to listen to your heart and that Ichigo is a good man and he'll take good care of you. Orihime I know he's deeply in love with you as well and you'll be happy with him. Now get your daydreaming butt up and go get changed." Tatsuki said as she ran towards her wedding dress.

"Shouldn't you be picking Jun up from the airport Tatsuki-chan?"Orihime said giggling.

"But if I do, who's gonna take care of you, I just can't leave-"

"Don't worry, Rukia and Rangiku will be here any minute…and besides, your sister hasn't been in Karakura for 7 years now, don't you think she'll get lost with all of the modifications we've conducted?" Orihime ended with a smirk.

"Fine I'll leave but don't do anything stupid while I'm gone k? I'll be right back." she said as she left for the door.

"Tatsuki…"

"Hmmm" she stopped in her tracks.

"Arigato." She left smiling.


My sister Jun was coming back after getting her masters in forensics in the states. It's been seven years since I last saw her in person and I'm not as excited as I thought I would be the day she left. I guess the lack of communication or interest with us made me despise her antics. In seven years she made contact with us only 2 months ago. Not even when my mother died, did she come to visit or call to give out her condolences. My father is blinded by love to not notice how she wants nothing to do with us her family. But just for my father's sake will I go and pick her up from the airport and be her escort around Karakura.

"Over here Jun!" I screamed as I saw her. Wow she had grown so much, she is beautiful. Dark chocolate wavy hair the length up to her waist. She was wearing a white floral skirt with a hot pink top and some gold gladiator shoes that went up to her ankle. Well one thing for sure she picked up in USA was style and it seems to that she brought a man along with her.

"Oh my god! Tatsuki you have grown so much, wow you even have boobs now, and you look like a woman." My sister said.

"Mhmm" a grunt was heard.

"Oh Tatsuki this is my fiancé, Alexander Betancourt. Alex this is my little sister Tatsuki." Jun introduced.

The guy was really handsome to begin with, white American, tall, slender, wide jaw, ash blonde hair, and teal colored eyes. There was this aura about him that I was not fond of though. Even with his good looks, I don't know what my sister would see in him to be so in love with him.

"We must hurry Tatsuki, you said the wedding would start at 3 and it's already 2:00. You don't want to be late to your best friend's wedding now do you?"

Guess she had a point…


"Byakuya it's been a long time since I've seen you, I thought you would be dead in that vast mansion of yours."

"Well unlike you Shunsui, I move around my house long enough to stay fit and healthy."

"Chill out Byakuya-kun, jeje excited for the wedding?" interrupted Ukitake.

"No, I'm just going for the sake of my sister."

"Where's the spirit? You might find someone interesting out there Bya-kun." The lazy captain suggested with a smile.

"As if I were to stoop to low as to merely acknowledge the presence of a human as my wife."

"Shell head, no need to be mean there's a lot of pretty girls in the real world, right mummy?"Yachiru said as she bounced onto Byakuya's back.

"Yes dear now why don't you get off of uncle Byakuya's back and give us a few examples." Unohana said smiling.

"Uhm well there's Ichigo's girl, big boobs, and the boy looking one, and there's shorts girl, Karin chan, and Yuzu " Yachiru smiled.

"Very good dear here's your candy, now go play with Alithea, mommy has some teasing to do!" and with that Yachiru gave her a kiss on the cheek and ran off to go play with the feline beauty.

"It's amazing how she looks to be a teen already and yet she behaves as a six year old, how can you put up with it Retsu?" asked her former lover.

"Well it's not as bad as it looks Jushiro, she knows what she's doing, but she has fun with it. And it's kind of hard to say no to her cause she was brought up with Kenny which spoils her to death." Retsu said smiling like never before.

"I seriously never thought you and Zaraki would end up getting together? Just comes to show huh Byakuya-kun?" Shunsui added.

BYakuya just kept quiet.

"Don't give them any attention; they're only teasing you Hun." Unohana said smiling.

"Unohana taicho, where is Kenpachi, and is it safe to leave Yachiru with that accident?"Byakuya asked.

"You mustn't speak like that; Alithea is a beautiful, unique, nice young girl. It surprises me how much she's grown over 5 years; I guess it comes from her father." Ukitake said.

"Wow that Alithea sure is a beauty, really beautiful, I think she might be even prettier than your sister eh Byakuya-kun? Shunsui injected.

"Don't compare her to my nee-san. So Kenpachi?" Byakuya tried to change the subject before he got very upset.

"Oh he's sharpening his katana. He really thinks Ichigo is willing to fight him on his wedding day jeje. I told him if he even lifted a finger that I'll hurt him but he keeps on going. I don't know if I'm encouraging him or making it better, since he's a masochist and all." Unohana answered.

"No worries Retsu, he'll be fine-", Ukitake was interrupted by the yelling of Commander Yamamoto.

"THE SEMPAI GATES WILL BE OPENED IN 10 MINUTES!"

"Where are those two idiots?"Soi Fong asked herself as she looked over two kids playing around.


How can she be doing this? It's so unthought-of. Does she even know what she's up against? How can…

KNOCK, KNOCK

Silence

"ULQUIORRA FAGGOT, OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!...Aww come on, stop being an emo…"

He opened the door and since Grimmjow was adding force it caused Grimmjow to fall straight on his face.

"Uff…aw that's going to leave a mark, hey man, you alright?" Grimmjow stated as he cleaned up.

Closing the door, Ulquiorra went back to stand next to his dining table, extending his hand to help his best friend from his idiotic fall.

"As if you don't know the answer to that already. I just cannot believe it. I thought after everything, returning from ash,turning into a shinigami, committing myself to venture for her, to acquire the occupation of fukutaicho of the second squad of Seretei and that woman still falls for that hot head over me… I guess you can say I feel disturbed, unenthusiastic, upset."

Grimmjow was just speechless.

"What a fucking dumbass…Doesn't mean you have to give up. I mean it's obvious you care about her a lot. These feelings just aren't uncalled for. Don't give up. Believe me, I know how you feel. When I first laid my eyes on Soi Fong, I was intrigued cause she was so petite but such a fucking badass! I heard in a few weeks after our first meeting that well she had really 'strong' feelings for that black betch! Now that didn't stop me from claiming her to be my lovely wife and having Alithea together. Now don't give up, go after her, that's why the real world invented DIVORCES you IDIOT!" Grimmjow gave his attempt of helpful advice.

"Grimmjow…you know I think taicho has changed you a lot, and I kind of thank her for it." Ulquiorra admitted.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. Let's go before she kicks our asses when we come back."
