We Meet Again
She just sat there.
Her eyes glowing from the hint of sun light that beamed through the traditional bamboo curtain which covered her face from the sun.
Wearing the lavender colored kimono
She looked more than juts stunning.
She was gorgeous
She was breath-taking.
She looked at the white haired man as she noticed his intense stare on her.
She smiled and said three words.
"I am back."
xXx
It has been 5-years since the war.
Soul Society was finally gaining improvements from their loss on the Winter War (Arrancar Arc). Not to mention one of their most precious loss was the raven haired girl, the adopted sister of Kuchiki Byakuya, Kuchiki Rukia.
And to think that after 5-years another chaos will hit SS(Soul Society).
Kuchiki Rukia is back and alive.
xXx
Division 13 was currently in a total chaos.
The soft whispering and chattering of the shinigamis were endless. After all, it is not everyday that a person, I mean shinigami, who was dead would come back alive.
However, the soft steps of a lady wearing a lavender kimono silenced the noises throughout the long hall of 13th division.
Dazzled from her beauty, a stunning, breath-taking beauty that stole the gazes of men and women throughout the hall, and grace left people in utter amazement.
As the lady noticed the silence that has filled the room, a small smile appeared on her face as she whispered something into her acquaintance's ear causing him to blush slightly due to the proximity of their distance.
As she opened the traditional rice door(I believe it is called shoji in Japan) that blocked her view to her former captain she let out a big smile seeing her former superior was now her subordinate.
"Did you miss me taichou?"
Divsion 13: In an absolute state of chaos.
"Abarai, what are you doing I-" said the man with the cold gaze to his subordinate as he was cut off with the loud yelling/screaming from his vice captain.
"TAICHOU! RUKIA RUKIA!!!!...!!!!"
"What is the meaning of this can you not tell that I was in an important conver-"
"THAT'S NOT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM RIGHT NOW!"
"I was cut off twice Abarai, and why are you repeating my… sister's name?"
"SHE'S BACK!" and with that, the weird tattooed man with red hair fainted causing his usually emotionless captain to raise an eye-brow of amazement which could not said for sure because whether it was the reactions to the screaming of the man's comment or his sudden action of fainting.
Division 1: Conversation between Yamamoto and Byakuya rudely interrupted even before it has even started, causing Yamamoto to have vein popping in annoyance for disrespect and ignoring the head captain the entire time. Byakuya, beside him seemed to be dropping his mouth? No, it was slightly open which was shut in the speed of light.
Then realization struck both captains.
She is back.
Quick Author's Note: back to division 13!
"You haven't changed at all taichou." said Rukia.
"I haven't but you have!" said the captain of 13th division.
"Yes, changes naturally occur during the my stay in that place." smiled the lady who used to be full of cheerfulness now covered with grace and nobility.
"Rukia-sama…" said the black haired man with a tiny pony-tail.
"I know Leo. No need to feel like I am saying too much." said she staring at the man who was only few inches beside her as if he was her personal pet, or perhaps a servant.
"Understood." was the man's curt reply.
"My, you have changed so much! Anyhow, I am so glad that you are alive!" said Utitake trying to ease the tension that has been formed just a second ago.
"Taichou!" giggled she "I was alive all along!"
"So I know now. You will be telling us about it?"
"Yes, as soon as I have everyone gathering in meeting room." And with that the lady stood up giving a respectful nod to the man before her.
"I will be meeting you there, then…" then she left leaving behind stunned Juushiro amazed from her grace and slight coldness.
xXx
"DAMN IT! I KNEW IT! SHE WAS ALIVE I KNEW IT! THAT SHRIMP NOT TELLING ME FOR 5 YEARS!!! FIVE FUCKING YEARS!" said Ichigo as he was fuming in happiness?
"Kurosaki, we know you missed her but it wasn't only you who missed her and it is 'us' not just you." said Ishida as he pushed his falling glass up looking all calm and collected.
"Kurosaki-san you are scaring the people." said Inoue her voice slightly stuttering due to the gaze of the surrounding people that were gaping at the orange haired man's outburst.
"Now, now Kurosaki, Inoue-san is right! Look at the people staring at you from your big mouth?" said Urahara as he was adjusting his white and green striped hat.
"Urahara, shut up and stop yelling in my ear." said Yoruichi as she felt Urahara leaning too close to her.
"Yare, yare! Has your love for me already weakened?!" said the stripped hat man in a abnormally childish voice.
"I never LOVED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE!" said the cat eyed woman glaring.
"Are you blushing my love?!"
Soul Society's the door to the living world: currently in a total chaos from the four ryokas Kurosaki Ichigo, Uryuu Ishida, Inoue Orihime, Chad, and the two former captains Yoruichi and Urahara arriving just a few moment ago.
"Idiotic I say, don't you think Leo?" asked the new figure.
"Your descriptions were right Rukia-sama." said the man beside the lady.
"Yup, flamey-orange-haired idiot." said Rukia whom seemed for a moment back to her old cheerful self.
"Oi, WHO ARE CALLING AN IDIOT?...!!! RUKIA?!"
"Leo." said Rukia as her voice dangerously lowered.
"…." Leo being one to always settle things knew what his lady was asking for and immediately took action.
Cold sweat drops formed from the crowd who now stared at the two new voices. One which dropped dangerously low from hearing an outburst of a man and the other which had a dagger now dangerously close against Ichigo's neck causing the boy with the flaming orange hair to gulp from the chill that just went down his spines.
SLAP
"Kurosaki, I do not tolerate yelling or screaming in front of me when there is no need for one."
Her voice became dangerous and icy cold.
"MIDGET! DID YOU JUST SLAP ME?!"
SLAP
"Yes, I have slapped you, again."
"MIDGET!"
SLAP
"SHRIMP!"
SLAP
"SHORTY!"
SLAP
"HEY WHY CANN'T I MOVE?!"
SLAP
"I DIDN'T CALL YOU SHORT THIS TIME!"
Double Slap
'Ouch!' thought everyone hearing the glass breaking sound of the lady's harsh slapping.
"I slapped you because you were yelling in front of my face and you can't move because Leo already cast the kido on you when he put the dagger on your neck." Then with the nod from the graceful lady the man dropped his dagger from his neck and whispered something quick as he swiftly revoked the kido.
"Ah, my rudeness. Nice meeting you all once gain and this is Leo Tadaku my dear…Fiancé."
"…!?!?"
"Rukia-sama!"
As Rukia saw her comrade blushing like an apple she chuckled.
"How cute of you Leo! It is a joy to make you blush!" as she chuckled more as she gave a little pat on the back.
"I meant to say he is my student."
"…?!" thought everyone.
"Oh, and I forgot to tell you before but Soi-Fong taichou was here when you said 'my beloved.'" said Rukia as she walked to her next destination leaving behind the surprised group and Urahara who was now being chased down from Soi-Fong's deadly glares and zanpukto.
xXx
Really, the sakura garden and the silent intensity never left the Kuchiki manor. However, unlike the past Rukia has been, she was now confident and strong as she stepped into the large house only to be unexpectedly greeted by her once brother-in-law.
"Rukia…"
"Onii-sama, it has been such a long time." said the girl who gave a formal bow to her brother.
"Indeed." Never being the one to show his emotion or thoughts, Byakuya silently was piled with all type of emotions and questions underneath his calm, collected mask.
"Would you care to have some tea with me?" asked the petite lady as she eyed the tea sets she has gotten a Kuchiki servant to bring.
"Yes…"
Rukia, sitting in a traditional formal way of a noble, gracefully lifted the tea-pot gently letting a stream of hot-tea fall from the single hole accurately into a beautifully crafted tea cup. It was a simple act, however it was also millions of billion changes that occurred to Rukia that Byakuya came to notice.
Her voice, sweet yet unknown of what she is feeling or planning. Her posture a stiff yet elegant that would make any noble feel proud, even Byakuya. And finally, her appearance; her hair made into a simple yet elegant bun which was clipped with a hand-crafted purple butterfly which matched her lavender colored kimono, fitting her petite figure ever so wonderfully, embroidered with simple dark purple butterflies that seemed to literally dance around her. Then her rich amethyst eyes adorned with calm and steadiness along with the light lavender eye shadow that could be barely noticeable on her pale, white, snow skin that seemed to glow under the little rays of sunlight that were coming from the cherry-blossom garden. All in all, she looked like a goddess who has just came down from the moon.
As wind blew the cherry blossom in its' own patterns, creating a music of their own, a petal of sakura blossom fell from the trees invading the privacy between the brother and the sister which brought Byakua from the silent spell cast upon him.
Rukia smiled seeing a single petal of sakura gently landing on the green tea she was holding. It was as if the trees greeted her from the absence of the 5-years.
As Byakuya noticed the tea that was before him, he took a sip but only to be abruptly stopped as he was suddenly captivated from the beautiful sight of Rukia now letting out a full smile.
While the hushed conversation of the two nobles were going on the servants outside the rice papered door were squeaking and squealing in delight seeing the view of the two from a small gap between the door. Then they all blushed and let out a barely audible gasp when they saw Rukia's genuine smile.
'That smile is some-what very addictive.' thought the servants in unison.
Hours passed like minute between the two. Even though Byakuya was not the person to talk much, they seemed to be able to converse with each other with only gazes and few words. Then the conversation was interrupted from the quiet, slightly husky, yet gentle whisper of Leo.
"Rukia-sama…"
"Onii-sama, it was a pleasure to meet you however I will have to take my leave for now." and with the nod of dismissal from Byakuya, Rukia stood up and walked out from the room, leaving Byakuya deep in thoughts.
After Rukia stepped out from the room she was greeted by Leo with concerning eyes thoroughly sending the message of worries.
"Rukia-sama…"
As Rukia kindly rejected the offer of maids asking her to stay and came out from the Kuchiki Mansion. She glanced at her comrade to reply to the unspoken words of insecurities.
"No do not worry. I am fine for the moment." and she started her walk towards her next destination. Without a warning, the petite figure was swiftly lifted up in a bridal style.
"Next is there, right? I will carry you." said Leo in a concerned voice.
"Yes, but before that I want to go some where where I can rest a little."
"Understood..." with that, Leo shun-poed to the secret garden carrying his master, comrade, and sister still in a protective bridal style.
Indeed it has been a long day. She had to meet the people of the past. A past which was full with guilt, regret, tragedy, the deep scars of the past. To tell the truth, she didn't want to come back. Yes, she missed the people but she was starting anew. She was stepping forward to a new life where she finally found her long lost younger brother and her father. That place was a great place to start again. But an order was an order. No matter how much she may dislike it she was to carry it out, even if it means to meet with her love, her fiancé of the past, before she was dead.
After an hour of traveling the two finally arrived at the secret garden landing gracefully on the ground.
"It looks so much like the place we used to be. Don't you think Leo?"
"Nee-sama… you don't seem okay. Just as father thought, it wasn't right to tell his majesty about you. Probably we should head back then-" said Leo as he now let his worries stream out but was cut off by a gently grinning Rukia.
"Leo, it's alright. After all I can't stay there hiding like a rat and his majesty have given me this order for a reason. After all I am his favorite niece! Now don't worry I'll be fine."
"Nee-sama…"
"Remember mother?" after seeing a nod from her brother she continued.
"She died, few months after I was found by the Kuchiki's. I didn't know my brother in law was so much like my father. I guess that is why she fell in love with him. Later, after I was found by you and father I found out that Byakuya was my little cousin. Remember how he would always cling onto me like his life depended on it?" she giggled at the memories how Leo would always fight with Byakuya from jealousy.
Ironic, she thought. How her mother fell in love with her cousin and could never confess that until her death overwhelmed her. It was so twisted that it hurt.
With a swift shunpo Rukia went to Leo. She slowly yet gracefully came down from the air, giving her the time to pet her little brother without having to tip-toe.
Truth be told, she was shorter than her younger brother; painfully short.
When Rukia was giggling from her younger brother blushing she noticed another reiatsu and the both froze from the new presence.
"Rukia…"
She could tell just by hearing his voice that it was him.
She could tell that he knows now.
Her fiancé.
Her love.
Her ice-cold dragon…
"Toushiro…"
With the swift of a wind, Rukia was held by the masculine body of the 10th division's captain. His arms wrapped around her waist, his head leaning on her shoulder. During the 5-years he has grown to be taller, well-built, masculine man.
A sigh of relief came from the white-haired prodigy as his hand wiped the tear that fell from his beloved woman.
We will meet once again under the crescent moon
Blessed from both of our clan
Forever intertwined with each other
Forever by each other
Promise me with our final kiss
"Never leave me, not ever again."
We will never leave each other ever again
Author's Note: CLIFFY!
WOW! This just suddenly popped into my mind. I am hoping that this will go great! I hope so! Anyhow I just noticed that this will have a lot of fluff and I mean A.L.O.T!!! Now NOTES!!! The part "Never leave me ever again" was said from Hitsugaya. However the italic is the one from Rukia before she became a shinigami. Yes, I am a very twisted. So, I am hoping you guys will get a lot of twists in this story…In the very beginning is also the past before Rukia died and become a shinigami. But "I am back." Is when in the past and the present! Also, Leo Tadaku is not his real name… its his fake name for now… I'll tell you his real name later! To tell the truth I was going to make this a crossover but decided not to since I felt the sudden urge of obsessive Hitsugaya! Ha ha ha. Anyhow hope you guys enjoyed this and please try reading my other stories! I know I am lazy but I will try to update as soon as possible! (and I have too much plots and fluffs in my head… t^T I want to write them all but TOO LAZY!!!) Yea, someone slap me for being LAZY t^T
Anyhow this was
