Chapter Eight
Revenge On You
Part Three
Four days passed and only three are remaining for the big wedding, just thinking about that made Byakuya to finally think of confirming Rukia that she is the bride to be, the next lady Kuchiki. They both woke up at the same time today but Byakuya went to his office earlier in order to avoid Rukia and think about a way to tell her the big news that what he thought will shock her. Rukia had her breakfast with Ginrei and headed to the thirteenth squad so she can finish her work earlier and faster because she's always been active in the morning.
Everyone in the seireitei was having a nice, beautiful day with a shining sky above them. Renji was like usual checking and submitting reports then stopped when Byakuya entered the sixth squad while thinking about Rukia that he didn't even look what was in front of him and got knocked in his office door which send Renji hard laughing to the floor as every sixth squad member were trying to hold their laughter but couldn't and they all burst out loud.
Byakuya was in shock of what happened, he got a hit by the door and this is all because he was thinking of Rukia. He turned around to see the laughing officers and one of them was his fukutaichou, he coughed and that was enough to attract the attention of the sixth squad seated officers.
"I believe everyone can get a hit by a door once in life." Byakuya stated while giving his famous death glare that silenced the laughter of all of them except Renji who just couldn't stop.
"Abarai fukutaichou, you'll not have your lunch or dinner tonight because you'll simply sit here and finish todays and tomorrows reports." Byakuya told his fukutaichou who opened his mouth out wide to protest but was stopped by Byakuya's death glare.
Byakuya entered his office, sat in his chair and rubbed his head, "That hit for sure was painful." He said to himself as he started checking the papers and signing them in hurry in order to go home and have the talk with Rukia.
As Byakuya was doing his work at his office, Renji was finishing, checking the reports and putting them in order so he can submit them later which will really be a long time to come.
"Ah, why the hell did I had to laugh and opened my big mouth!" Renji shouted at himself as the other seated officers were laughing at their fukutaichou.
Rukia finished checking, writing the reports and stood up in order to submit them all.
"Rukia chan, Ukitake taichou wants to see you." Kiyone told Rukia who put the papers back in the table and went to her taichou's office. She knocked on the door.
"Yes come please Rukia." Ukitake taichou answered as the Rukia entered the office.
"Yes taichou, Kiyone told me that you want me." Rukia told her taichou as she took a sit in front of him.
"Yes Rukia, you know that four days already passed from the wedding day of Byakuya." Ukitake said as he sipped his green delicious tea. (which I can't live without)
"And what does that have to do with me?" Rukia mockingly asked her taichou who coughed.
"Well Byakuya is your nisama and I believe you shouldn't come to work because you're supposed to get prepared after all you're a Kuchiki." He replied as he smiled nervously.
"Taichou, nisama is the one who'll get married not me, so I don't need to prepare anything because whatever I need will already be there." Rukia said as she looked straightly to her taichou who did his best to calm down.
"O-Oh well I just wanted to inform you this, from tomorrow on you won't come to work because it's your nisama's wedding and when it finishes then it up to you Rukia." Ukitake said as he sipped his tea and giving her the sign that there will be no discussion what he said will be done without protesting.
"Actually I don't mind to take some rest, I mean I've already finished today's and tomorrow's reports and I'll just go now to submit them." Rukia told her taichou who seemed relieved to hear that from one of his best seated officers.
"I don't want Kiyone and SentarÅ to start fighting, so I'd appreciate if you divided the papers that need to be submit and give it to them equally and you can then go home." Ukitake taichou told Rukia who stood up.
"Hai taichou and well then I'll say you after three days." She bowed and headed to give the papers to both her colleagues and then go home to meet the prince charming Byakuya Kuchiki.
It was already evening and both the unrelated siblings came from work, headed to their rooms so they can get cleaned up to get ready for the dinner.
Rukia was in her room, taking out her black robes and went to have a fast, cold shower. It took her ten minutes then she walked out of the bathroom, put on one of her many chappy pajamas, dried her hair and lay in her bed to read some comic books she brought from the real world.
In the meantime, Byakuya was having a cold shower, and then he wore a dark green robe and removed his kenseikan because he really didn't need it tonight. He looked at the mirror, for the first time saw someone he didn't see for a long time, someone that just vanished with no trace, he saw himself happy, frightened, worried all of it together, he just stood there, exhaled and inhaled some air, then headed to the dining hall to find his grandfather talking with their old servant Keiji.
Dinner was ready; everyone was around the table, Rukia, Byakuya and the old man Ginrei.
"So how was your day, my children?" Ginrei asked as he ate slowly.
"It was good grandfather." Byakuya replied as he too ate slowly.
"Well about me, it was kind of weird." Rukia stated as she looked at Ginrei then Byakuya who lowered his head to avoid looking at her.
"What was strange for you Rukia?" Ginrei asked as he got interested.
"Well I've finished the paper works and I was heading out to submit it but then Ukitake taichou asked me to come to his office." She said as she gazed to nervous Byakuya.
"And then what my child?" Ginrei kept asking as he gave all of his attention to Rukia.
"He said that I should take off these coming three days because nisama is getting married and because I somehow involved and so I should get prepared, I mean no offence but nisama is the one getting married not me." Rukia said laughing as she could see that little drop of sweat falling down Byakuya's temple.
"You're Byakuya's sister that's why you need to be prepared." Ginrei said giving some little time for Byakuya some he could finally talk to Rukia.
"Yeah I guess you're right grandpa, its nisama's wedding and I should be prepared in the best way." Rukia said as she chewed her food happily.
Dinner was finished and everyone headed to their room except Byakuya and Ginrei.
"My son I believe you should tell her tonight." Ginrei told his grandson who was sitting in front of him.
"I know, I'll tell her but grandfather I'm worried of her reaction towards such news." Byakuya stated as he drank some water.
"Don't you worry, who knows what might happen." Ginrei told Byakuya and stood up to go to his room, he approached his grandson and asked, "I don't think you want to lose her, do you Byakuya?" and went to his room leaving Byakuya alone in his thoughts.
Meanwhile Rukia was again in her room looking at her comics and waiting for Byakuya to show up.
"Ok, I really do believe this will be hard." She said to herself as she went through the pages without even taking a glimpse on them. She kept thinking and then felt Byakuya's resistu approaching to her room, she breathed in and out then held her comic book, looked at the door's knob which was turning down and started reading as she didn't know who was coming in such late night.
Byakuya kept thinking for five minutes in the dining hall was snapped out of his thoughts when Keiji entered to make sure everything was clean and in its proper place.
"Lord Kuchiki, do you need something?" Keiji asked Byakuya who just gazed at Keiji and smiled.
"Yes but what I need is not in this room." Byakuya said as he headed to Rukia's chamber. Keiji just smiled back, turned off the lights which Rukia insisted to have in the Kuchiki manor.
The door was opened; Byakuya entered slowly to Rukia's pink, full of chappy stuff room and closed the door behind.
Rukia looked at Byakuya and asked, "Nisama, do you want something?"
"Yes I want to talk to you about an important matter." Byakuya said as he took a sit in Rukia's comfortable chair.
"Did I do something wrong?" Rukia asked as she put down the comic book and looked at Byakuya.
"No you didn't, I did." Byakuya said which surprised Rukia.
"Nisama will never do something wrong unless it was for best benefits to the family's matters." Rukia said as she wanted to know what the hell have he done wrong.
"I wanted to have something that doesn't belong to me." He said ad he lowered his head.
"And may I ask what that is?" Rukia asked as she got up from her bed and headed to Byakuya.
Byakuya looked at approaching Rukia who stopped just little inches away from him; he stared at her beautiful orbs and said, "I wanted to have you."
"But you already have me nisama." Rukia said as she tried her best to let him let it all out.
"I have you as a sister." Byakuya said and stopped took a breath, stood up and only very, very little inches separating them and said, "I wanted you as woman."
He finally said it but Rukia wanted him to admit the fact that she is the bride, so she thought of just playing little game on him. "Oh Byakuya, I'll make you say that I am the bride to be tonight."
"I'm sorry I don't think I can be your woman, nisama." Rukia said as she bowed her head.
Byakuya felt this pain shoot through his heart, he thought of what will he do if she didn't accept him but he never knew it'd actually happen.
"Why can't you be my woman Rukia?" He asked as he did his best to hide the sadness and frustration in his voice.
"Because you're going to get married three days from now, I won't accept to be cheated when my wedding day is near and for sure I won't accept that for your bride either." Rukia said she looked at his eyes which suddenly shone with some hope and that brought a warm feeling to her heart.
"Well then what'll you do, if I said you're the bride to be?" He asked and he was happy but still worried of her reaction.
"Ok first answer me, what will you do if I told you, I already know that I am the bride to be and just wanted you to come and tell me?" Rukia asked mockingly as she held laughter but was out when Byakuya's expression changed into a shocked one.
"You what!" For the first time in history Byakuya Kuchiki, the sixth squad taichou and lord of the noble house screamed which made Rukia to fall to the floor and laugh so hard that she couldn't breathe.
"I-I-I already knew that I-I-I was the bride all along, the elders told me." She started laughing again.
"That elders what!" He shouted again at laughing Rukia.
He held her arms and helped her to stand so they can talk normally.
"Now tell me what did the elders told you." Byakuya ordered Rukia to tell him, who was trying to hold her laughter.
"The elders told me that I am the bride and honestly at first I was angry because I was like the last one to know." Rukia said to Byakuya who was listening.
"Abarai is the last one to know." Byakuya informed Rukia who laughed again.
"Yeah I can't wait to see the expression that will overcome his face." She said as she breathed while still holding Byakuya's hands.
"Leave Abarai for now and continue." He told Rukia
"Well as I said before I was angry at first but then the first seated elder told me to avenge." Rukia said as Byakuya was surprised and shocked from what he is hearing from his wife to be.
"And OH! how sweet and delicious revenge was." Rukia stated as she kissed Byakuya in the cheeks and looked at his eyes and said, "I still didn't accept you're proposal which you didn't do yet but before that I want you to do something for me, so we can live a long happy life."
"And what could that be?" Byakuya said as he started to kiss her cheeks then to her earlobe which he kissed slowly that made Rukia to moan.
"I-I want you to forgive yourself." Rukia stated as she moved away from Byakuya because she knew in any second she might lose control.
"What do you mean forgive myself Rukia." He asked as he regained his composure and stared at Rukia.
"I want you to forget everything that happened in the past and I mean everything. I want you to go to your room now, sit down and to just let go all of the sadness, hatred, and feeling of being guilty, I want to see you tomorrow as a new person, a person who left the past behind forever and for good, a person who want to live each day as it's his last day, I want to see you as the man that I'll believed you're. I only have one request just forgive yourself once and then you'll find my near your side till death throw us apart." Rukia said as she approached Byakuya kissed him in the lips, looked at his eyes which were full of too many things that she wanted none of it to remained tomorrow.
Byakuya didn't know what to say or do; he just smiled at Rukia, kissed her back and headed to his chamber to think of what Rukia just said to him. Rukia's request was the hardest one he ever got to do, she wanted him to forgive himself, he just couldn't do that, it was a hard task to do but if it meant to have Rukia as his then he'll do his best to make it happen.
