A/N: thank you everyone, enjoy.
Rukia couldn't shake off the funny feeling she'd gotten after she'd woken up in the darkness of her room to glimpse…a tall shadow hovering over her like Dr. Frankenstein's monster--Ichigo had made her watch the old Frankenstein movies back in the world of the living. Which had terrified her to no end.
But Frankenstein in the Soul society…come on!
'Then again…who could it have been?' Rukia thought, chewing her thumb pad.
True to her word she'd left the Kuchiki mansion at dawn; Byakuya an early riser hadn't even been up at the time. So she hadn't seen him all day.
'Maybe…just maybe there's a discarnate spirit…soul,' she corrected herself, 'wandering the mansion at night. Yeah! That must be it! And that would account for the mysterious noise that I'd heard a minute before I fully woke up! Nii-sama must be told of this!'

'Bya-chan,' Senbonzakura said suddenly.
Byakuya's expression didn't change as he turned the page of The Soulreaper times daily newspaper.
'What is it now, Senbonzakura?'
The Zanpaku-to ignored the sarcasm in his baritone voice, 'don't look now. But I think the Strawberry competition has arrived!'
'Kurosaki is not MY competition. And he resides in the--' Byakuya was interrupted from his internal conversation by Renji's offhand comment, "Oh. I forgot to mention Ichigo's coming for a visit later on today. Said he really wanted to talk to YOU about something…involving Rukia."
There was a sharp squeal inside of Byakuya's mindscape, 'ooh! Bya-chan! The Strawberry fly's going to ask for Rukia's hand in marriage! You'd better move in quick before he does! Oh and I'd also suggest that you watch Zambimaru, he's got his eye on your little darling too,' Senbonzakura said knowledgeably, she was studying her face in a pink backed mirror.
'Duly noted, Senbonzakura,' Byakuya muttered to her, casting Renji an icy glare. The sixth Squad Lieutenant shivered under his Captain's withering gaze.
What had he done wrong now?
To be continued.
