PROLOGUE

Byakuya. A captain. A man looked up to by everyone. A man envied because of his fame and riches. A man who was talented. A man who possessed the powerful Senbonzakura Zanpaku-to. The man who appeared to have it all. The man who was actually broken inside. The man who had no lover, no wife to call his own. The famous man who was alone.

Rukia. A seated officer. A girl looked down upon and not rarely admired. A girl who envied everyone else but was confident in her skills. A girl who commanded the most beautiful zanpaku-to Sode No Shirayuki. The girl who was cheerful but also brooding. A girl who liked to keep to herself when her friends weren't around. The girl who had killed her past love. The girl who was hollow inside.

A man and a girl. Byakuya and Rukia. Brother and sister. Mean more to each other than they know. Will find love if they just open their eyes. Are perfect for each other regardless of what others say. Separated by a piece of paper but joined by their hearts.
