Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach. Well, I do own it in my dreams where Gin and Rangiku will live happily ever after but reality is reality. Let us all face it.

Pairings: Gin and Ran, Ichigo and Rukia and many more to come. (You can tell me any pairing you want and I might consider it!)

Author's note: I'm sorry for any grammar and spelling errors. Please do tell me if I did any. I'm not an English expert.

P.S: Hope you like it. I'm trying my best to write it longer.

Forced into Love

-My dear Lady Kurosaki-

It had been played numerous times now in Rangiku's mind. Sometimes it was so frustrating until she wanted to break the lovely expansive vase beside her bed. People might think she is going crazy. Ah, she can tell by the looks thrown towards her from her maids.

Ichimaru Matsumoto Rangiku is going crazy. Right.

At last, Rangiku let out a sigh. She had been thinking a lot lately. About good manners, escaping Ichimaru Gin's prison and last but not least, Lady Kurosaki.

She bet with all her freedom and life that Lady Kurosaki would be a short, plump woman and most importantly, with good manners.

Rangiku smirked and cleared her throat, mimicking her voice like a snobbish noble woman.

"Oh no, Lady Ichimaru. You have to hold the handkerchief like this and bow politely when giving your greetings. You are a noble woman, Lady Ichimaru, what would your bastard husband say about your manners. Manners!" That was a good one.

"I did not expect a lady like you to speak ill about her husband, Lady Ichimaru" a stranger's voice greeted her. Rangiku hastily spun around only to find her face to face with a beautiful petite young woman with warm smile.

Embarrassed with her earlier attitude, Rangiku said nothing and tried her best hiding her crimson face from the other. 'Baka, baka, baka!' she mentally scolded herself.

"You are not really fond of your husband, I see. Never mind, you will find yourself falling in love with him in no time, just like me"

Rangiku stood still, frozen at the word love.

"I am glad to meet you today, Rangiku-san. My name is Kurosaki Kuchiki Rukia. Your husband, had requested my presence as to keep you a company when he was away with my husband on a business trip"

"It must be a tiring journey, Lady Kurosaki. Perhaps a cup of hot tea will do us good" Rangiku said with a gentle voice and politely called for her maid when she was back to her senses.

Soon, the tea was served and the two ladies began chatting about many things. Family, friends, accessories and surprisingly it end up, bunnies. Rangiku had no idea how comfortable (though it is a little bit weird) she is with Lady Kurosaki, talking about bunnies.

However, within a few minutes, good manners were forgotten. Lady Kurosaki doesn't appear like a lady at all.

"And then, that good-for-nothing Ichigo bought me the fluffy bunny after I begged (more to threaten) him. And I punched him straight on the jaw when he called me annoying, infront of my own brother. Amazing, isn't it!" she squealed and gave two thumbs up at her new found friend. Rangiku laughed nervously and drank her tea only to spit it out when Lady Kurosaki took out a fluffy white bunny from her kimono.

"Ah, isn't she so cute! Yaah!" again, she squealed. Rangiku mentally sweatdropped.

But, let's think about it. Her two weeks of freedom are going to be great. This lady Kurosaki would not be teaching her about manners, considering the attitude she has now right infront of her.

Suddenly, lady Kurosaki stopped her mad gigglings and turn to stare at Rangiku with a thoughtful expression.

"Ara, Rangiku-chan. Your husband did mention about me teaching you proper manners in his letter. I guess we could start it tomorrow morning" she said, while smiling and stroking her fluffy doll bunny's white fur at the same time.

Under her breath, Rangiku silently cursed her husband.
