Love Under The Sakura The Drama Continues.

I've come up with some crazy ideas, so lets see how this turns out.


Five years had passed after the birth of Kaien. The boy really lived up to his names sake. He was already attempting to use his soul sword, which shouldn't have manifested so early. Unfortunately no matter how many times Rukia took the sword away, it ended up in the boys hands. His inexperience didn't help the matter as every time he tried to lift it a burst of light blue light would burst from the tip, scattering a group of panicked servants.

The boy seemed to be as uncontrollable as his father was at that age. Servants were threatening to quit as they were scared of loosing a limb. Byakuya didn't help the matter any, he seemed to indulge the child's use of the sword and even assisting him in technique. Rukia was stuck with the job of making sure the child didn't harm anyone.

Even with such a difficult child, life had been quiet and enjoyable the last few years. With Aizen long gone, Hollow activity was at a minimum and only low level Shinigami were scattered across the living world to wait for Hollows to be born.

Luckily for them Rukia was asked to write a handbook for those who go to the living world. She gave plenty of advice on how to manuver human foods, and what to read to learn modern Japanese and fashion. Her illustrations of oddly dressed bunnies and bears were extra helpful.

Rukia herself, had not had any missions in the living world. She did visit a few times. Orihime had married Ishida when she turned 18 a few years back and Ichigo had just married last month, strangely to a girl who strongly resembled Miyako Shiba. It was like dejavu for her. It made her remember the crush she once had on Kaien and how jealous she was that he was married to Miyako. She wished it had been her, but that feeling had long ago passed.

Byakuya and Rukia had just said goodbye to their party guests. For a party for a five year old it had been crazy. There were just a few kids and the adults acted just like them. Luckily for Rukia she had an army of servants to clean up giving the parents some well needed alone time.

"I have to be back at the office in less then an hour." Byakuya said.

"Then we had better hurry." Rukia said.

Byakuya picked her up and threw her over shoulder, making it to the bedroom in record time. There was no being gentle. It was still too early in the day for the futon to have been laid out so the floor was bare. Rukia had pulled him down on the floor on top of her. In a desprate attempt to get her clothes off quickly Rukia got tangled in her kimono. In his need to enter her he nearly tore the garment in two to free her.

His lips crashed down on her roughly making hers redden and swell. Both of her legs were bent over her head, and he entered her as fast as he could. Pumping her hard and fast, he didn't waste a second taking his own pleasure. Rukia moaned loud enough to be heard outside as he pumped her harder and faster and finally letting go inside of her.

All too soon it was over and Byakuya hurried to dress while kissing her and attempting to make it to the front door presentable enough to leave the house.

"Its time for the changing of the guard Taicho." Renji greeted him in front of the 6th office building.

"Commence." he said.

"Your in a better mood then you were earlier, did something happen?" Renji asked then quickly regretted the question after seeing the small smirk on his captains face.

"Oh before I forget this came for you today." Renji held out the enevelope.

Byakuya read the letter and his mood started to change.

"Is something the matter?"

"Renji take a message for Rukia. Tell her the elders will be arriving tomorrow and she is to have everything presentable."

Rukia rushed around the house shunpoing back and forth, urging the servants to do one thing or another. She wanted everything perfect. They still hadn't really approved of her. Not like they ever really would, but she wanted to show then that Byakuya had made a good decision.

"Rukia do not be late this time." Byakuya looked bored.

"Do we really have to go through this again?"

"I assure you I am less enthused about the situation then you are."

"They hate me."

"Just be on time and show no signs of weakness. If you cant handle it just keep quiet. Try and behave like a Kuchiki for once." he kind of regretted saying that last part.

He didn't want to hurt her feelings. He really wanted to tell her that she did a lot better then her sister did at these meetings. He wanted to kill the elders for the way they insulted his precious Rukia but now that she was is wife, she would have to find a way to deal with it.

The elders arrived, rude and insulting as usual. They hadn't changed one bit.

"Byakuya we have some concerns about Rukia' worth as our female head."

"I will not listen to any more concerns. She is my wife and that will not change."

"What if we were to give her a test, perhaps a test for the both of you."

"I do not wish to participate in such idiocy."

"When your grandfather chose a wife, they had to go through the same trial to see if it was a good enough fit for the family. If you both pass, no one will oppose her position or the birthright of your son."

"Is this some sort of written test? Or will we spar?" Rukia asked.

"No its much more. We would reset things so to speak. A reality slightly modified and if everyone makes the right choices you will pass."

"I will not agree." Byakuya said.

"Please consider. It will also make sure you are meant to be together. Everything here will be fine, you may be gone for a while but when you return here it will only have been a few days. Even if you both fail, things will return as normal and I believe you will know more about one another."

"Our sons birthright? Will it be secured if we go through with it?" Rukia said.

"Rukia how can you consider doing this?"

"If it will make the family happy and accept our son as your heir without question, I think we should do it. Besides I love you nothing will change no matter what situation we are in."

"If you are willing, then I will comply." Byakuya said.

"Good we needed your permission. Lets start right now."

In that instance Rukia and Byakuya were led to one of the rooms. The eldest of the clan had things already in place to complete the spell. He said some strange words in a language Rukia didn't understand and things began to swirl around her.


Here I am again starting up a new adventure for the couple. Like I said there will be many more trials for them, as life does not stop at marriage. I'm giving you this teaser chapter and am working on the rest now, so It wont be long between updates.
