prologue

Rukia was extreamly heartbroken when Byakuya died, he was her only remaining connection to her sister, and now he was gone. She was able to hide how depressed she was prety well, but even so, it was getting harder and harder to keep doing the things she used to do, like beating up Ichigo or yelling at him for doing something stupid. Uduyu was a constant in her life now, she always knew where he would be, unlike Ichigo who did random things all the time and made everyone worry about him.

She felt happy for Totsuki and Renji who had started dating, but she couldent help feeling just a little spiteful that they where able to be happy and she couldn't. One day, two years after the winter war, Uduyu aproached her looking rather shy and embaressed. She frowned, wondering what was wrong, when suddenly Uduyu dropped to one knee in front of her and, pulling out a little black box he said "Rukia...", "yes?" she asked. Opening the box, revealing a ring, Uduyu asked "Will you marry me?" immedeatly after asking he held his breath waiting for her answer. She blinked, surprised, before gasping and saying "Of course, Uduyu, i'd love to." before she pulled him into a hug.

A year later, her wedding day and Totsuki's wedding day had finnaly arived, they were having a double wedding and both were really nervous about there big day. Totsuki was getting married to Renji and she was so exited she was making herself nervous. Rukia was just happy that she was getting married to someone she was in love with. When Ichigo was asked what his type was, he blushed and looked away as he mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like "Grimmjow.", "What was that" Totsuki said, steeming. Ichigo just blushed deeper and mumbled again. "Speak up, damit" Totsuki shouted. Ichigo seemed to get pissed off at this and he shouted at Totsuki "I said that my type was Grimmjow." Everyone was shocked into speechlessness at this sudden and unexpected outburst. No one had expected him to be gay, although it did explain quite a few things.

A year later, Totsuki gave birth to a boy and she named him Grimmjow for his shocking resemblance to his namesake.

Five years later, Rukia gave birth to a little boy who looked a lot like Byakuya, so she named him Byakuya Kuchiki Ishida.

A year later, Totsuki gave birth to twin girls and the older one was named yuki because she had unusually pale skin and everyone agreed that thats what her name should be, and it was. the other little girl was named hanayuu.

Four years later, Totsuki died in a tragic accident leaving Grimmjow, now ten, to look after his younger sisters, now 4, by himself.
