Told you it would be fast, here is chapter 2.
Btw, if you don't like the mention of Byakuya/Hisana in fics I recommend you don't read this one, since, due to the plot itself, it is bound to happen, at least the mention of his feelings for her. Then again, I hate Bya/Hisana and I wrote this one myself, so idk. ;)
Also, this whole fic is unbetaed (or at least what I have written until now), so it probably contains mistakes and I usually notice them only after publishing. For that, I apologize in advance.

It was still semi-dark, but clarity was already painting the dark sky with shades of blue when Rukia started waking up. She was still feeling very tired and completely dizzy. The girl made a small move intending to wake up, but easily gave up, her body demanding more rest - she couldn't even open her eyes.
*******
Byakuya felt his wife moving and woke up slightly. He opened his eyes and smiled, marveled at her mere presence in his arms. How could such a small thing feel so good? She seemed to be still tired, as she easily gave up and went back to sleeping, but he, on contrary, was already feeling rested. He hugged her closer and buried his face in her neck, touching her fair and smooth skin with the tip of his nose, and then kissing it. She smelled so good. It was particularly good that day, he noticed, with a hint of something new, maybe she was trying a new perfume or something?
His body was starting to quickly respond to her presence, her closeness, as if he hadn't had her for a long while - which was not true, he reminded himself with a smirk. Why was he so needy, he wondered, amused. It's just that she was so particularly alluring to him, he concluded, contemplating her forms partially covered by the shelter. That was bound to happen whenever she was this close to him, he knew. Desire was growing fast in him and he wondered if she would mind that he wake her up in that way. Probably not, he concluded with a grin.
He pulled her even closer to him, so that her entire body made contact with his. He loved her so much. Only for this feeling of having her in his arms he would be willing to fight everybody and everything, his family objections, all over again. His hand slid from her hips to her abdomen and upwards, while he kissed her neck with a little more passion. He noticed a delightful moan coming from her.
*******
Rukia woke up again, still considerably dizzy. She opened her eyes briefly and got the impression that she wasn't in her bedroom. She closed them again. Quickly a second observation came to her mind: someone was… caressing her? And kissing her neck? That was a little confusing... the feeling was good hmm, maybe she was still dreaming?
As her senses started to wake up one by one, she got some new impressions… She noticed a distinctly male body – with all its parts included – was touching hers from behind, and then she felt a strong, manly-yet-delicate hand sliding to her upper chest slowly, reaching her breasts, while simultaneously she felt a lick on her neck followed by a small bite. 'No, this is definitely not a dream at all!!' She realized startled, immediately rising and turning back to see who was the daring man that was about to die by her hands.
"GAHHH, BYAKUYA-NII-SAMA?!" she screamed, practically jumping from the bed and pulling the covers with her, her eyes as big as saucers. " WHY-WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" She asked, completely forgetting any kind of proper behavior she should keep towards him. Propriety be damned in a situation like this.
He simply gaped at her, seeming surprised and more confused than she was. She didn't remember ever seeing such expression on his face. He frowned a bit, trying to sort his thoughts, before speaking in a low tone:
"What is wrong with you Hisana? I am sorry if I startled you, but…" he didn't know how to react to what he clearly considered an overreaction. "Were you having a nightmare?" he tried.
"Hisana? I'm not Hisana, nii-sama," she answered, slightly calmer, but still very wary. As embarrassing as it was, at least his confusion explained his strange behavior.
'Was this a joke from her?' He wondered. Hisana was never one to do this kind of thing.
"Why are you calling me like this? Of course you are Hisana, who else would you be?" He asked, trying to smile a little, but in fact starting to get a little worried about her mental state.
"No, I'm Rukia. Hisana's sister, remember? You adopted me into the Kuchiki clan as your sister… " she tried to explain; maybe he was just confused as he just woke up from his very life-threatening situation, but hopefully he would come back to reality soon.
He stood up from the bed, shirtless and without even worrying to hide the lasting effects of his arousal from the previous moments and, before she could do anything, he hugged her in a loving and protective embrace.
"My love, I know how much you worry about your sister. Please do not worry so much. We will find her, and we will take care of her. It seems you are getting too stressed over this and it is not doing you any good." Rukia felt his light kisses on her head. "Perhaps I should set an appointment with Unohana, maybe she can give you something for the stress. Please take this day to rest a little, stay in bed. I will order that your meals are brought here."
Rukia had assumed a new shade of pink in her cheeks that was soon spreading to her whole face and body. If it was possible to die from embarrassment, she was sure she would be dead by now. She didn't know how to react to such an intimate hug, and from her brother, no less. First of all, she had never been in such an intimate position with any man. Secondly, she was definitely not used to caresses and displays of affection from her brother, in fact, she didn't even know he was capable of any. Though she could not deny that they didn't feel so bad… 'No, Rukia, not a single step on that dangerous path! Focus!'
She shook her head decisively – her nii-sama was clearly in an altered state of mind and she would not let him embarrass himself later, she should protect his pride and honor until he recovered his memory.
"Uh- Nii-sama please don't do this," she tried to disengage from his hug , pushing his hard chest without much success. "It is not appropriate, I mean, you should put som…" Ok, this was definitely easier thought than done. "Listen, I am really Rukia, your adopted sister! It seems you probably lost your memory, or your latest memories, you were severely wounded in your head, please check the bandages in your head!"
He touched the aforementioned bandages but smiled. "It is true that I got hit in the head and that I do not remember the occasion in which it happened, but I would remember my dear Hisana even if I had forgotten my own name." He had a loving gaze on her. "Besides, we cannot expect your sister to look that much like you, my dear," he tried to reason with her, in hopes that she would come back from her delusional state.
'But I do!' She thought desperately, remembering a picture of Hisana that she once found. It could very well be her. They looked like twins. Rukia was sure he must have found it really impressive on the first time he saw her too. And so did everybody else who had met them both. She remembered being referred to as his wife a couple of times, just after the adoption, by those who didn't know about Hisana's death. It had been quite embarrassing.
'Think, Rukia, think!' What else could she say to convince him? She looked around, but found nothing she could use as a proof. She needed someone else's testimonial.
"Byakuya-nii-sama--"
He flinched at those words.
"Please stop addressing me like that." It was a polite order.
"…" This was getting harder than it seemed at first, but she decided to obey him.
"Byakuya…-sama, please stay here for a while, I will ask for Unohana-taichou presence, I'm sure she can clarify this situation for you"
"Hisana. You will not leave this bedroom. Worry not, I will call for Unohana, but please stay here and rest," he asked.
Byakuya started to dress up in a hurry, as the situation seemed urgent to him. He knew Hisana's health had never been good – physically or emotionally – but for some reason she had gotten worse very suddenly.
*****
Rukia watched as her brother approached the wardrobe in apparent hurry. Was he planning on leaving? She couldn't let him leave in this state!
She watched as he suddenly took off his pants – 'Oh no, I should not look!' – and she quickly turned around. When she looked back he had already put a set of his shinigami uniform and his scarf. He turned to her.
Without any warning, he took her quickly on his arms and put her on his bed.
******
"I will call for Unohana. Please stay here," he said, his hand touching the side of her face tenderly, his handsome face so close to hers.
She couldn't let him go out like this. Not only was he injured but also in a very susceptible situation and she had to protect his pride. No one should know about this. It would not do to let gossip out that the 28th head of the Kuchiki clan had gone crazy.
"Byakuya---sama!" Please… don't go!" She held the sleeve of his kimono, which was certainly an improper act, but also a temporary solution. What could she do to avoid his departure? Suddenly, an idea snapped in her head.
"Don't… leave me alone, please," She asked. That was probably not a good idea but… it should work for now.
He smiled sweetly.
"Do not worry, I am not going personally. I will only send her a message. I will come back shortly, my love, I promise."
Well, that certainly had less chances of exposing his current--mmm
Byakuya had put his lips gently over hers in a loving kiss.
Oh God he was… kissing her! Could this situation get any more embarrassing? Not that this was more embarrassing than the situation she was in when she woke up, but…
He was already by the door when Rukia tried to stand up and say something, but he interrupted her with an imperious voice:
"Hisana, this is an order. Stay here until I come back." Then his face assumed a less stern expression. "It will not take more than three minutes."
Rukia stood there unmoving as he closed the door.
So yeah, the confusion is made. Oh, how unfortunate! (or not!). Btw, if you're wondering why he didn't think she sounded completely differently from Hisana, read the notes on my profile. Also, if you think he is a little ooc, this is honestly how I imagine his relationship with Hisana was in its intimacy, they had been married for 3-4 years now in his head. Also this is how I picture Byakuya was 50 years ago, not the jaded and sour one we get to know in the series after 50 years of been a widower.
