Chapter 1
The next day I woke up excited and nervous at the same time. I didn't tell my brother about the mission nor did I speak with him yesterday. I'm sure that he was busy as always. So as soon as I entered the conference room all I saw was men. Not even a single woman was here. Was I the only woman in this mission? No, of course not. Rangiku was Hitsugaya's partner. She has to come too.
I sighed deeply and took a seat at the round table. I noticed that Shuhei Hisagi, the new guy from the IT department was here talking with Renji. The two of them were caught in a serious conversation that Renji didn't bark that I was here. I said bark because Renji can't talk like a real person. Also Yumichika Ayasegawa and Ikaku Madarame were here. These two were inseparable from childhood, like me and Renji. Although they were kinda different. While Ikaku was the guy who wouldn't be afraid to fight with nobody, Yumichika prefered to stay aside, but if the situation requires, he will fight along with his best friend. They were one of the best detectives that FBI could have. And the last one that was in room, was Shinji Hirako, the Forensic Accoutant.
The door glass opened and in the room entered Hitsugaya Toshiro, or The Prodigy, how the entire building likes to call him. Why? Because he was a Special Agent at 30 years old. Everybody knows-
"Ruru-chan!" the voice of a female bring me back to reality. I recognise that voice anywhere. I didn't have time to respond that Rangiku Matsumoto hugged me so tight that I barely had time to react. She was my friend from the time when me and Hitsugaya dated.
"I told you not to call me that!" I manage to speak. She let me go and smiled sweetly at me.
"Oh, Ruru, I told you I don't care." she shrugged and took a seat next to me.
As I sit in my chair again I could feel that someone was watching me. I lifted my head and all eyes were on me. Or us. Or her. Renji checked the strawbery blond next to me and I smirked. This redhead is in head over heels for her. He could kick a door open, fight Zaraki Kenpachi for four hours, but he's so stupid that everytime he's near Rangiku he lost his words and all he can say is... well, nothing. He just stare at her.
"If we're done with the lovely hugs", speak Toshiro from his seat at the end of the table. "Let's begin, shall we?"
I cleared my throat and everybody turned their attention to our Chief.
"As everybody in the room knows, we have Kisuke Urahara under observation for a year now. We can't arrest him yet because we don't have much evidence. But that's why we're here today. To finally catch the bastard. Captain Ukitake required me to lead this mission. We're gonna infiltrate Agent Kuchiki in Urahara's restaurant." he said and looked at me.
He always had that kind of face when you couldn't read his emotions. Because he always hide them. But for some reason I can read him. All I have to do is look into his eyes. And right know all I see was worry. Was he worried about me?
I gulped. Suddenly, I wasn't brave anymore. All kind of worst scenarios came into my mind.
What if they catch me? What if they can read me and know instantly that I'm from FBI? Or even some cop.
No, no. Get your shit together, Rukia. For God's sake, you're Rukia Kuchiki, sister of Byakuya Kuchiki, the bravest man in the world. He teaches you how-
"Agent Kuchiki" the voice of Toshiro brought me out of my thoughts. "Are you feeling ok?"
I looked at him and nod my head. I can do this. I'll beat the shit out of Kisuke if he suspects anything.
Hitsugaya nod back at me and continued his speech.
"Agent Kuchiki will be wearing an microphone, an earpiece and her gun. All we have to do is to keep her alive and make sure she doesn't get hurt."
My phone rang. Shit. I knew who would be calling me right now. My brother. I excuse myself and leave the room.
"Brother" I speak as I put my phone to my ear.
"Rukia." He said with his cold voice. "I would like you to join me for dinner tonight."
"Of course, brother. I will."
"Good. I will send the driver at 6. Don't be late, Rukia."
"Yes, brother."
He hung up and I sighed deeply. Now was the time to tell him about the mission. And I have two options. One, he's gonna talk nonsene and call Captain Ukitake to replace me. And two, we're gonna kill each other.
Well, if option number one fails, then, I haven't live my life properly so that means I have to come back as a ghost.
I looked at myself in the mirror one more time. For tonight I chose to wear a grey pencil skirt, a white shirt and some black high heels. I decided to put away my usual suits for today. I wear them at work and that's enough. Don't get me wrong, I love my suits. I spent so much time looking for the right ones. But I have to look more presentable when I meet with my brother.
My long black hair was now in a ponytail, only one strand of it wasn't staying in its place and keep falling between my eyes. I sighed. I can't really do anything about it.
I looked at my watch. The driver will be here any minute. I took my purse, my keys and left the apartment.
Thirty minutes later I was sitting at my brother's table in his big dinning room. We've been served fish. For real? I don't even like it that much. The servants left us all alone. I guess this is the right time to tell him about my mission.
"How have you been, Rukia?" my brother spoke as he sip of his glass of red wine. "I am sorry for not calling you these days. I have been a little busy with the company."
Of course you were. You are always busy, brother. Thank God you remember to tell your secretary to buy me gifts for my birthdays or Christmas. God bless that woman.
But I didn't say it out loud. I couldn't.
So instead I put my fake smile as always and speak kind words.
"It is fine, brother. I know that company needs you."
He nod and turned his head back to the fish. I sighed. I wasn't in the mood to eat. I couldn't.
"Elders of the clan has been thinking to -"
"I got a mission, brother." I interrupted him.
Ok. Great. I said it. Now let the fight begin. Someone should call an ambulance 'cause my pretty face and pale skin will be in blood in the next minute.
A/N: Okay, that's chapter one, it's a little bit longer. I guess they seem a little (maybe more) out of character. But I hope to "bring them back" by the end. Thank you for those who review and read it!
