Alright, a new story for the fans. YAY! This is my real story that I plan to publish in the future, but I'm making it a story on fanfiction and changing some stuff up.

The original name of the story is called 'Midnight Summers'. My novel that has adventure, romance, and comedy. I wanted people to see what the story was really like, so I made it into an IchiRuki thing and so here we are. Lol.

So tell me how you like it so far. And if you review and tell me what you think, I may just update quicker. And if you don't like it, then I stop and continue my other stories. But don't worry, I'm not pressuring you. That's so mean! Anyway… happy reading!

Summary: Rukia Kuchiki is the princess of one of the 4 kingdoms of Serine. She is the next ruler to the kingdom in the East called Toonamani. But in the prophecy, she inherits all 4 kingdoms. (Toonamani to the East, Sukari to the West, Krimson to the South, and Lienary to the north). But before she rules, she must marry a prince of one of the kingdoms. She chooses Ichigo Kurosaki of the Sukari kingdom and they marry 2 months later. But during these times, Ichigo's father's cousin, Aizen, is furious and wants to kill Rukia to stop the prophecy by using the fearsome creatures of the Sukari kingdom. (Newkerrokys, Monties, and Chanies.) Things will change and sadness will be brought to them. How will the kingdoms and especially the families take it?

Prologue (Toonamani Kingdom)

A swift, calm breeze. A place with a starless sky and a shining moon. It was truly a night that was one of those rare occasions. As I looked up in the sky on my balcony, while waiting for my husband, I started remembering the days in the past that there were never nights like this; where it felt so peaceful and serene. You expected nights like this, but for the Kuchiki family, that was never the case.

Suddenly I heard one of the double doors behind me open. I turned my head and saw Ichigo walking up to me and leaning against the railing beside me. I looked at him while he looked at me.

"It took you long enough." I said. He smiled then leaned over and pecked my lips,

"I'm sorry. I had some things to take care of."

"So how are things going so far? Any updates?"

"Yeah. The Lienary Kingdom has been researching more about the recent creature activity in the region. The Krimson has been building more advance weaponry so we can advance a little quicker and be ready for anything to happen. The Sukari kingdom has had an increasing number of creatures growing there. People are starting to think that maybe the creatures may be out of control."

"What about here?"

"We're trying to find answers to everyone's questions. But you of all people shouldn't be worrying about that. You need to take care of other things while I handle the rough challenges."

"Alright," I said. "I'll focus on the people while you focus on the tasks at hand."

He smiled. "Sounds like a plan." I nodded, then leaned over and took Ichigo's lips into mine. He got up from his leaning position and wrapped his arms around me while stroking my back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and we deepened out kiss. We continued for what seemed like several minutes until we were interrupted by a sweet and innocent, "Um."

We stopped and looked over to the opened double doors. We saw our 5 year old daughter Yukari while holding her hands in front of her. She had on a long white dress that had short sleeves with pink flowers at the rim. She had long, orange, hip length hair and the same amber eyes as her father. We smiled at her innocence and Ichigo said, "Yes Yukari."

"The citizens are waiting for us. I think you should get going." "Yes, you're right." I agreed. Ichigo grabbed my hand, and with Yukari following us the whole way, we headed off of the balcony and into the long hallway that lead to a staircase. Down that staircase was the 1st floor of the Toonamani kingdom. We headed out the door and we were welcomed with people talking, but stopping and bowing as we made our way past them and went to our families.

This was the night that Ichigo and I were meant to inherit the 4 kingdoms. The prophecy does not start as soon as the next heir is married. There is a ceremony that is held with all the kingdoms that says we now rule all four. This ceremony happens every 300 years. As Ichigo and I stood in front of the families of Serine, my sister and her husband current, ruler of Toonamani, and Ichigo's father and mother, current rulers of Sukari stood in front of us while the current rulers of the Lienary and Krimson kingdoms were behind them, smiling at us. Yukari was with Rangiku. She was part of the Lienary kingdom, but was transferred to Toonamani to help with Yukari when things were too dangerous for her to handle.

The first to speak was the king of Sukari, Isshin Kurosaki. "Citizens! We meet here tonight to start the prophecy which we have seen for 300 years. The time when my son, Ichigo Kurosaki and his wife, Rukia Kuchiki will inherit the kingdoms of Serine." The large crowd cheered and whistled. Ichigo and I smiled. When the crowd calmed down, Isshin continued.

"To start off, we will begin with the linking spell." The linking spell was an ancient spell that combined whatever you wanted to too. It could be used for romance, inanimate objects, and even kingdoms to their rulers. Not just anyone could use this spell though; only those with a pure heart.

Ichigo and I faced each other, held out our hands, interlocked fingers, and started the spell as we closed our eyes.

"Breaking wind. Going through the path that breaks me. Linking the hearts of millions as we speak. Following suit to what we believe and filling the heart that was not filled. Longing the nights of despair and bring a new form of life inward." But before we could continue, there was a loud, echoing roar in the distance. We stopped, opened our eyes and looked the direction where we heard it come from. It was quiet for a mere minute, and then it was seen. The 4 armed, 2 legged creature with white hair and light blue eyes that had a thirst for blood or any flesh it could get it's fangs into; a Newkerroky. The screams and scattering of the crowd was immediate. People were running and screaming; trying to survive the night. Rangiku and Yukari ran up to everyone while Ichigo and I were still together. We could barely move. But I didn't see more Newkerrokys coming our way until I heard the increased screams and people evacuating faster. Ichigo took out his zanpactou, the sword that combines your heart to your sword and form a bond with your own character, and fired his powerful technique, Getsuga Tensho, when a Newkerroky jumped from the ground to attack us. As less people were near the castle, we could see the numerous Newkerrokys appearing and surrounding the land.

But through the creatures, we could see them; Sousuke Aizen and Gin Ichimaru, who were on the backs of two Newkerrokys. Riding them through the army and to there we could see them.

"Aizen," Isshin growled as he made his way past us. "Is this what you plan to do?! Kill Rukia and take the kingdoms away from her. You weren't meant to take them. That's why you couldn't even have Sukari." The evil smirk that was on Aizen's face slowly faded, but then came back after a second.

"That may be true dear cousin, but I have something that none of you have. I have the power to kill all of you."

"Try me!" Ichigo said as he put his weapon in the air, then shouted, "GETSUGA TENSHO!" The light blue strand of power that came out of his weapon went past his father and went to Aizen and gin, but they were gone; abandoning the Newkerrokys they were riding on. Isshin grabbed his weapon while everyone followed suit. "Stay alert. They could be anywhere." He said. Then, I felt a zap of spiritual power, took out my zanpactou, Sode no Shirayuki, and blocked a blade that was heading for my stomach. It was Aizen's blade, and it barely touched me.

"Aizen," Ichigo said, but before he could do anything, Gin attacked Ichigo with his extending zanpactou Shinzo. Just then, the army of Newkerrokys attacked. Everyone separated. Even Hisana and Ichigo's mother Masaki were carrying and using their zanpactous. They fought with elegance and strength along with Hisana's husband, Byakuya. Everyone else was fighting to win. They glided and swung their zanpactous at the Newkerrokys. Yukari was handing onto Rangiku while she holding onto her and fighting the ugly creatures. I was focused only on Aizen. The constant Newkerrokys and fighting around me was ignored while our blades crossed. Aizen was ruthless. He didn't know how to give up and he never took no for an answer.

After crossing blades for a while, he stopped and he looked at each other. I was panting and holding the wound that he inflicted on my arm. He was standing still, holding his sword Kyouka Suigetsu, without breathing heavily or even breaking a sweat. But then, during that short time of non-conversation, Aizen put away his sword, but still held the guard of his sword.

"I'm sorry Rukia, but your time has come." I paused. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain going through me. When I looked down, I saw that there was a sword going between my breasts. I tried to breathe, but every time I tried, it got harder and harder for me. "RUKIA!" I heard Ichigo scream. The sword painfully exited me and went back to its master. I turned around and saw Kaname Tosen, the traitor from Krimson who had that title for over 50 years.

I looked at Aizen again, but he and his evil smirk were gone. And so were Kaname and Gin. The army of Newkerrokys were scattering as I slowly fell to the ground. "Rukia!" Ichigo yelled as he ran over to me. He kneeled down and held me in his arms. "Ichi...go." I tried to let out. As I looked at him, I could see his eyes watering. Everyone was running over to us. Hisana kneeled in front of Ichigo while Orihime tried to get by. I knew that even if she tried to heal me with her powers she gained over the years, it would be futile. I was too far gone. I could barely see Ichigo as I looked at him; he was getting blurrier the more time went by.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Yukari cried as she tried to get by, but I knew Rangiku was holding her back and trying to make her not see me in the state I was in. "Orihime, heal her." Ichigo said. "No…it's fine." I barely said. "Rukia," my husband said as I felt tear drops falling on my cheek. "Take care…of everyone." I said. Then before I slowly closed my eyes, I said, "I love you." I felt my eyes close. The sounds and voices that I heard were gone, and I entered a world of darkness.

I never thought that I would die the way I did. I was careless and didn't think or even know that Kaname would be there. I should have known. Now my family won't have me there. Ichigo will be without a wife and Yukari would be without a mother.

I was careless!

I should have known…

I should have known

Ichigo POV

I looked down at my wife and couldn't believe my eyes. She was there and alive. I never thought that this was an answer. This was a painful decision, but if we wanted Rukia with us, this was the only decision we had.

"She will function like normal, but her memories will be lost. She won't remember Serine, the 4 kingdoms, her family's past, the prophecy, nor will she remember your family." Orihime informed us. I nodded and continued to hold Yukari in my arms and rub her back. Her tears were drying up and she was sleep.

"We will take care of her in the world of the living and raise her to be a normal human. She will be reminded of her past, just not now or anytime soon." Byakuya said. I nodded again.

"We should get going." Hisana said as she walking over and gently held Rukia in her arms.

I know this was the best decision, but it still shocked and scared me that Rukia was now a baby

Well there you do. I hope you like it and wish for me to continue. This chapter was kind of hard. I had to decide which character goes good with which kingdom and who goes where, who does what and all that stuff. Anyway, review or PM me and I will continue writing other stories.

Thanx you!
