I don't own Bleach. ebonyangel666 gave me this idea, so I thank them very much.


Thunder rumbled outside as Byakuya walked down the halls of the Kuchiki Estate

Thunder rumbled outside as Byakuya walked down the halls of the Kuchiki Estate. He was pale, wide-eyed, he glanced around, and he trembled slightly. Unknown to him, Rukia quietly opened her door, and walked down the hall, going to go get a glass of water. She wore black, and blended in.

A particularly loud thunderclap sounded outside, shaking the estate. Byakuya screamed (rather girly), and jumped behind the nearest object. Rukia.

"Brother?"

"R-Rukia?"

"Yes, brother?"

"Ugh!" Byakuya straightened up. "First this stupid storm hits! Then the rain starts falling, waking me up! And then, there just HAS to be thunder! Why does it have to be so loud? I don't know! And don't forget the lightning, which just HAS to light up everything. And make shadows! Shadows that look like who knows what! They could be someone out to kill me! And the thunder could be something huge! Or the sky crashing down! Either way, they prevent me from sleeping! And you know what? I hate it!"

"Brother?"

"What?"

"Umm… uh, nothing."

Byakuya gathered himself, and started walking off again, when he was sure Rukia was out of sight, he started trembling again.

Rukia's image of her brother was now shattered. For he had screamed, which meant that Byakuya Kuchiki was afraid of thunderstorms.

One good thing could come out of the billion pieces of his shattered image. She could always use this for blackmail someday. Not that she would. Come on, Rukia, blackmail her beloved brother? No…never…


Isn't Byakushi just fun to torture?
