Kuchiki Rukia. Her name was Kuchiki Rukia.
Opening up a new Internet window, I typed in Kuchiki Rukia. A few sites came up, all labeling her as the heiress to the Kuchiki fortunes. Rich bitch.
Kuchiki Rukia (January 14) is currently aged 21. Living in Tokyo with Kuchiki Byakuya as his sister-in law, she is studying Business Management and Economics Advanced to help with her future as the heiress to Kuchiki Corporations.
I searched pictures.
All that came up was a petite girl with enchanting violet eyes. She was quite beautiful, overall. In some of the pictures, she wore the traditional kimono – a white one with a silky baby blue sash (A/N: I'm already planning my next story and that is her Bankai outfit! Uh-huh, be excited!). In others, she wore modern dresses, most of them green and a few blue, all bringing out her gorgeous eyes. She had a charming smile for all of them, as if she was smiling at him directly.
Woah, woah, woah. Time out. Yes, she was pretty. Yes, she is about to become my wife. Shit. She's going to become my wife on January 22nd. Exactly a week and a day after her birthday. So we could be the same age. Jeez. Nobles and their f-cking traditions.
We have around a month to get acquainted and to prepare ourselves for marriage.
"You guys are to be married on January 22nd. No excuses, Ichigo. Just call her and know her and get it done and over with." Isshin had said.
Marriage. What the hell. It was 2010. Who still does arranged marriages? I don't get it. We are supposed to get married, appear lovey-dovey in the public and go back to hating each other in the same house. Definitely not the same bed, though. Imagine sharing a bed with a stranger you barely know! Imagine having to… I shuddered. Consumate the marriage. Of course, the Kurosaki line is going to have to continue. We need little kids.
No. Bleurgh. I'm not going to go there. Maybe divorce. If I can talk to her, maybe she'll agree to divorce.
I looked through the pictures again and clicked 'Back'. Before closing the window, I saw my name.
Karakura Telegraph: Bringing the news daily!
Kuchiki Corp Heiress to tie the knot.
... claimed that Kuchiki Rukia was to marry soon. Head of the Kuchiki clan and CEO of Kuchiki Corporations, Kuchiki Byakuya-sama confirmed these rumours to be true… …to marry Kurosaki Ichigo, son of Kurosaki Clinic's head doctor, Kurosaki Isshin.
Damn. So they already announced it to the media.
"F-ck," I muttered. What if I didn't want to be married? What if I didn't want the media to know? I could've gotten married, abiding okaa-san's wishes and then get divorced without the bloody media knowing about it.
A knock sounded on the door.
"Ichi-nii?" Karin.
"What?" I asked her rudely.
"Phone call for you," she handed the phone to me. "Don't go grumpy on me, Ichi-nii. Just hurry up, 'kay? Toshiro's calling me." She smirked and left the room.
I glared at the door that had closed behind her. I looked at the phone in my hand. Right. I was supposed to answer it.
"Moshi moshi?" I grumbled.
"Hello, is this Kurosaki Ichigo?" a feminine voice sounded.
"Hai," I answered monotonously. Though, what a lovely voice. It wasn't that feminine and had some toughness in it. This person must be like Tatsuki. Oh. Could be the media. '…marry Kurosaki Ichigo, son of Kurosaki Clinic's head doctor, Kurosaki Isshin.'
"Oh. This is Kuchiki Rukia. I believe we have some things to discuss."
Damn. This was too soon.
A/N: So. How did you like it?
Yeah, Yeah. I said I'd have them meet. But, the phone call seems more logical to me! Don't judge me.
Now be good readers and review for me. Or click favourite. Or Alert. Or stalk. Wait, what? (Nope, still need new jokes)

Replies for Reviews.
Capslock-nanao: ALRIGHT! I'm putting in a HitsuGin fight. I think I'll PM you the Yamamoto POV one. If you don't like it, I won't put it up! Simple as that. Though, how 'bout a Hisagi POV? I always wanted to do his view when it came to GinRan. *JEALOUSY* *smile*. Phew. At least you liked this one! MWAHxx
Abarai Starsha: You don't have to wait any longer! Well, you do. But here is just another installment that HELPS unfolding it! Keep updated. :)
.banshee: You like the plot - YAY! You can't wait to read the confrontation – that should be in the next two chapters. You hope Orihime will cry and suffer – she will. I really, really hate her. She gets in the way too much. You want me to update as soon as possible – I hope this is soon enough. LOL THANKS!
HigurashiAlchemist: I hope I update fast enough to be liked! Thanks for the review – it really made me smile!
Xbleachfanx: Sorry to disappoint, but they don't meet here! O.O" I hope they'll meet the next chapter. I just can't control them. They run around, waving their zanpakto's at me, threatening to kill me if I don't listen to them. So, we'll wait and see how my mini devil/muses will control me, eh?
Youtubesam: First up, COOL NAME (Y). I'm making it a love square. It sounds cooler. LOL. I don't know what I'm going to do yet. It's updated but I still don't know where I'm going with it, so we'll ALL have to wait and find out. Though I feel like a V.I.P here. I get to find out first! XP.
