Heey guys! I love the reviews and to what Renji and Seanna are up to, you'll have to wait and see! Tell me if in the next chapter if there should be a lemon or not cause I have no idea!
Warning: Fluff and lime( I think. It's not a lemon but it may lead to one, or not. Not sure)
I don't own bleach. Only if it's to dyes hair!
Rukia's P.O.V.
The night was cold outside, the stars were out and bright as ever. The full moon shinned in the black sky as I looked out the bedroom window. My hand clenched my towel on my body as the water dripped down my shoulders from my hair. My eyes looked over to the white material that hung from my door from a hook, it was beautiful on the hook, however I hope it looks good on me.
I sighed softly and began to dry my hair with my extra towel, ruffling my locks quickly I closed my eyes. Tonight I had the Mall Ball and knowing my life I was probably going to run into some nobles or Seanna there, all depends. Placing the towel down on the floor I walked over to my make-up table were my blow dryer was awaiting me. Sitting down on the stool I looked at my reflection. My violet orbs that shinned bright with light, my completely healed pale skin that looked like the snow, rose petal lips that were supposed to feel like clouds and the damp raven locks that caked my face. My hand flipped the blow dryer on causing the beast to roar with hot air.
As the air blew my locks around I ran my brush through my locks and felt the water disappear. Placing the drier down as I brushed my dry locks softly, I noticed in the mirror that door was open. Turning in my seat I looked at the door to see one of the maid looking through " Please enter" I told, the door opened and the old women walked in with her grey hair in a bun and kind eyes on mine. " Is there something I can help you with?" I asked with a smile.
The women smiled softly and walked forward letting the door close " Kuchiki-san, I wanted to help you with your hair" I smiled at her offer and nodded before turning back in my stool. " That would be wonderful" I told her, when her soft finger touched my hair and began to brush my locks I closed my eyes.
" Kuchiki-"
" Please, call me Rukia. Kuchiki is to formal" I told her, she was a little taken back by my words and nodded softly.
" Rukia-san, are you going to be coming back tonight?" she asked, I didn't really think about that. Was I going back to Ichigo's house or staying here with brother. If I went back to Ichigo's then I would be closer to him but then brother would be all alone in this huge house. Yet again he is hardly, most of brothers time was spent at work and when he was here he was either annoying the crap out of me or relaxing. I sighed and rubbed my temples softly as I thought about it all.
Looking into the mirror I looked at the old women and how she started to curl my locks with my curling wond. I smiled at the kindness she had for me and probably everyone she knew. No one asked her to help me with my hair but yet she came and asked me if she could help which was a save for me because when it came to hair, I wasn't the best as the job and tonight I needed to look good for the ball. " I'm not sure if I will be coming home with brother, I figured I would visit him often but I am not sure yet" I bit my bottom lip softly and took a deep breath.
I felt the womans head softly on top of mine as she smiled softly " Well tonight will grant your choose" I blushed softly at her words, tonight was going to be a fun night for everyone. With the dancing, food, new people and the chance to feel like a princess or prince. I placed my hand on hers and squeezed it tightly in mine and smiled up at her, she was sweet and reminded me of Hisana.
" Okay! Now let's get this hair done, so you can go to the ball and be swipped off your feet by your prince charming!" I blushed at her excitement, she was some-what right or more like completely. Ichigo was going to be there and probably going to look handsome as very, we would probably dance night away and drink. Who knows were this night may go? I began to daze off thinking about Ichigo and how good he will look in a tux or suit.
" Alright, we're all done" my thoughts stopped as I heard the womans voice, looking into the mirror I smiled softly at my hair. The tousled curls on the side of my face, my hair tied into a bun and curls gently and my long strain of hair that usually got in my face, was braided and clips to the side. " T-Thank you" I gasped and gave her a hug, the maid smiled and hugged me tighter before releasing me from her hold.
" Your welcome" she told me, I smiled as I stood and walked toward the dress. I touched the material and felt the silky fabric and lace swirl around my finger tips, I carefully took the dress off the hanger and laid it on the bed. " Can you do my make-up please?" I asked her, the women nodded as I sat down and closed my eyes. I felt the light blush brush on my cheeks, then the eyeshadow placed on my lids. I loved to dress-up and looked pretty it made me feel special and it brought good memories of Hisana back to me. When I was little she used to do my hair and make-up then put me in one of her dressed, using her heels I would walk around like I was Cinderella.
When the make-up was done I got the dress on. The silk filled the curves of my body and made me look like a goddess, my breast area was covered in white lace that was stopped under the breast were it was cut. With the lace cut in the middle it allowed the fabric to sway in the breeze as I walked, on my shoulders the white silk drapped slightly. The dress went to the ground and trailed behind me as I walked. I smiled at my reflection and twirled slowly to see the fabric move with me " You look beautiful" the voice startled me and I placed my hand on my chest.
Looking over at my brother in the door way I tried to calm my heart down " Brother you scared me" I told him, a smirk covered his lips as he walked into the room. He nodded to the maid and gave her a ' Thank you' for helping me without need. He sat on my bed and looked at my body in the dress, I noticed the smile on his lips as he looked at my beauty " What?" I asked him, brother never really looked at me with a smile well when it came to appearance. I watched as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a chain. I gasped at the necklace in his hand. The silver chain shimmered in the light of the room, a small heart with vines engraved into the white gold and the large diamond in the middle warmed my heart.
Byakua frowned slightly at the necklace " T-This was your sisters.. I gave it to her when she married me. When she passed away she told me to keep it to remember her and give it to you once I am ready to move on" Byakua stood from the bed and walked towards me, placing the chain on my neck he smiled as it shimmered " And I think it is time to give it to you, Rukia" he told me, I felt his hands on my waist as he spun me towards the mirror. I felt tears perking my eyes softly but held them back for my make-ups sake " I need you to know that I will always love your sister and there is no one in the world that can replace the spot I have for her in my heart, but I think it's time to find someone who can teach me to love again like your sister did. It's time for me to move on"
I hugged him tightly and buried my face into his shoulder " I promise you that, you'll find her tonight" I told him, I remembered the image of him and Tatsuki with the two little boys and smiled softly. Now, I understood why Hisana was happy to see he moved on. Byakua tightened his hold on me then released me from the embrace, I smiled softly at him and touched the necklace on my neck " Thank you, nii-sama" I sniffed slightly and chuckled to myself " Great you got me all emotionally, how am I going to keep my make-up from messing up" I chuckled, I punched him slightly in the arm.
Byakua smiled and chuckled at my comment " It would be rather funny watching Ichigo kiss a goofy clown instead, a well put together girl" he chuckled and sat down on the bed again. I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed my heels from the closet " But it wouldn't make a difference since he still has a midget girlfriend" I glared at him for the comment on my height and nearly threw my heels at him. Keeping my composure I slipped on my white heels with lace on and glared at him still for calling me a midget. When I was petite.
Clipping in my diamond earrings I kept a glare on him " I may be short but at least I didn't wear stone clips in my hair" I teased, Byakua snorted slightly and shook his head "You looked like a cave man with those clips" I teased again, I gripped the white laced mask on the dresser and placed it on my face slightly. The maid came out with my wings that clipped onto the dress and fluffed the feathers slightly.
" Well don't you look heavenly" Byakua mumbled, I turned and looked at his outfit. The black tux with a silver tie and the silver mask in his pocket, I chuckled at the blankness of his costume and took his arm in my hold " Well don't you looked mysterious" I teased, he stood and allowed my arm through his. I looked back at the maid and smiled at her softly " Thank you" I whispered, the women handed me my small white purse and brushed my cheek softly. " Have a magically night, Rukia-san and Kuchiki-kun" she said.
Brother lead me down the stairs and to the car slowly trying not to have me fall and ruin my dress. Byakua opened the door for me and I got in with him following behind me quickly. I shivered at the warmth and smiled softly at my brother, to me he looked nervous for something " What are you worried about?" I asked, Byakua looked up at me with a slight blush that caught my attention quickly. What was going on with my brother?
Byakua sighed and ran his fingers through his short hair " I have this feeling" he told me, I scooted closer and leaned in to hear more " It's the same feeling I had when I and your sister ment. I felt all clammy and nervous for no reason, then when I saw her I was fine and normal which was odd-"
" Byakua it's called faith, everyone gets it a different way. Like look at Karin and Toushiro, they're happy their going to be parents but were just like you when they had to tell, everyone on the roof. Besides, if you didn't get that feeling then I would be positive that you are a working zombie" I told him, Byakua glared at me slightly for the end and punched my shoulder softly. I chuckled at the action and poked his side slightly causing him to yelp in surprise " Yup! Your a working zombie. Don't eat my brain?" I teased.
Byakua raised a brow and knocked on my skull slightly " There's no brain for me to eat in there" I gasped and slapped the back of his head quickly. " I have the highest grades in my classes, thank you very much" I snapped.
" You probably cheat off, Ichigo"
" Do not"
" Do too"
" Do not"
" Are we really doing this. Besides I'm the 'working zombie' I can smell brains and you my dear sister don't have any" Byakua crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me through the cover of his eye. " No brains" he coughed, I growled slightly and punched him quickly for pay back.
" No sense of smell" I coughed, Byakua chuckled at the way we were acting and looked out the window to see the large classical building with lights shinning on it. " We're here, my brainless sister" he teased as the car came to a stop, I sighed as he got out and helped me out quickly. I slapped his chest slightly for the comment and grabbed his mask from his pocket " I can't go in if I don't have a costume, ya' know"
I rolled my eyes and placed the silver mask on his face gently " There ya' go silver surfer" Byakua rolled his grey orbs and began to lead me to the building. The loud music echoed through the bricks as we reached the entrance. The man at the front desk asked for our names and Byakua answered.
My eyes roamed around the building with the statues, beautiful paintings on the roof and the red carpeted floor. It looked like a dream filled with old art that belonged in a museum. When Byakua walked me to the stairs I smiled at the passing worker and nobles " What do you mean I can't go down without a guest?!" I froze at the voice and looked over at Byakua who didn't noticed the voice or just didn't give mind to it. Looking over at the staircase I saw Tatsuki. She didn't look happy at the moment with the guard as she glared at the man.
I looked over at my brother and then to Tatsuki as she argued with the large man. She looked beautiful tonight with her long silver sparkling gown that trailed on the floor, her hair was down and curled, around her eyes was gems. It seemed like Orhime got her hands on Tatsuki since she had make-up on and jewelry on also. I blushed as I and my brother got closer to her. " What?! How is that fair!" she yelled in frustration.
" I'm sorry Miss, but only nobles can go down alone. Employee's must have a guest with them to go down" the man said, I smirked as Tatsuki growled. Walking towards her I tapped her shoulder causing her to turn around slowly, looking over at my brother who seemed to be admiring her I elbowed him in the side. " Oh, Rukia-chan! You look beautiful tonight" she smiled brightly at me, I chuckled and looked over at the guard.
" You too, Tatsuki" my brother cleared his throat slightly telling me to introduce and I rolled my eyes at him " Tatsuki, this is my brother Byakua Kuchiki. Byakua this is Tatsuki Arisawa, she goes to my school and works at the mall"
Tatsuki blushed as she bowed slightly " Pleasure to meet you, Kuchiki-sama" she smiled. Looking at my brother I noticed the blush on his cheeks and nudges him slightly causing him to smile " Pleasure is all mine, Arisawa-san" he said. Tatsuki chuckled at the formal addiute and shook her head " Please call me Tatsuki, I hate it when people are formal with me"
" So, what seems to be the problem here?" Byakua asked, I smiled at the fact he was still blushing softly as he spoke with her. It was quiet cute seeing my brother like this because of a women. especially one like Tatsuki who was loud and rough. Tatsuki turned and glared at the guard coldly " This bumbling baka, won't let me in because I don't have a guest and because I'm not noble" she growled, with her finger she tapped on the guards chest " Listen here buddy, I've worked all day, watched siblings and went through hell to get ready, now your telling me I can't go to a ball that I have worked to get too" her voice gave me chill and seemed to frighten the guard also.
I released Byakua's arm and looked at Tatsuki " Take my brother" I told her, she turned around quickly and went to protest but I raised my hand to stop her " He is noble and will get you into the ball along with V.I.P room's, besides he is a very good dancer" I winked at Byakua causing him to look away with a blush. " Just make sure he doesn't get stuck with to many nobles"
Tatsuki looked over at Byakua and chuckled softly " Don't worry Rukia, I'll make sure he gets tired out on the dance floor" she snickered, Byakua snapped his head towards her and raised a brow. " Don't you have a bedtime still?" he mocked, Tatsuki smirked at the joke and looked over at me quickly " I might have to beat him into proper manners for a noble boy"
" I am not a boy!"
" Well your acting like one right now"
" That's because you influence me to act in such a manner"
" God now you sound old!"
" How old do you think I am?!"
" 67"
" Excuse me!"
" What you need to change your adult diaper?"
" Your childish!"
" Thank you for stating the obvious, old man"
" I'm not old!"
" Okay, whatever floats your granny boat"
" I'm only 32"
" Yep your halfway to the oldie"
I watched the two snicker back and forth about childish way, I tried not to laugh but could help it and I allowed a tiny chuckle to be released. After the two finished they both chuckled and blushed sightly. I swear I saw sparks! When Tatsuki and Byakua went into the ball I smiled down at the necklace on my neck " That's too, cute" I whispered, looked over at the guard I sighed " I am noble. The clan is Kuchiki" I told him and he nodded for me to go. Walking towards the red curtain I looked for Tatsuki but never saw her, she was probably downstairs dancing with brother. Pulling through the red I came to the stairs, looking down I saw the dance floor filled with people dancing and many people on the sides talking. When I didn't see orange I frowned slightly, Ichigo wasn't there yet.
I walked down the stairs slowly when I noticed Toushiro in the back with someone in green, I walked over and noticed they were making-out which wasn't the greatest call, since he was dating Karin who was with his child. I stomped over to him and glared " What the hell are you doing?!" I shouted at him, Toushiro looked over at me and glared slightly before turning around to reveal Karin. My mouth formed an 'O' at the sight of her "Wow, Karin I didn't even recognize you" I said nervously, the blush on my cheeks thickened as I chuckled nervously in embrassement.
Karin chuckled at me slightly " Why thank you, Rukia. You looked beautiful tonight" she smiled with her red lips, I smiled at her kind words and started to play with my fingers slightly " You too look beautiful, Karin" I smiled, I shivered slightly at the glare I was getting from Toushiro because I stopped his make-out session " Don't glare at me! Besides, you shouldn't make-out here. The nobles will have you two kicked out and then fined for sexual displayment in public"
" How do you know this?" Toushiro asked as he snaked an arm around Karin waist pulled her closer to him. I rolled my eyes and looked to the bar to see my brother and Tatsuki laughing at least he was having a good time so far " I was fined and kicked out when I was 15. I got drunk and starting to make out with my guest. The fine was around 2,000 dollars" I grimaced at the memory and the horrible mistake I had that night with drinking.
Karin laughed at the fact and so did Toushiro " R-Rukia, I would have never saw that coming" she laughed, was I that much of a stick in the mud? Maybe I was hangout with Byakua to much? " If you're looking for Ichi-nii, he is in the bathroom. Apparently watching me eat all those crab cakes, made him feel sick" I nodded and started to walk towards the washroom.
I knocked on the door and then opened it to see the lights was on. Inside I saw the tiles and Ichigo sitting on the floor in his tux, I walked over and crouched down towards him " Ya' know sitting on the bathroom floor is horrible for a tux" Ichigo looked up with a smile and chuckled softly. I sighed and took one of his hands in mine " Come on, there's dancing I want to do" I told him, he stood and wrapped his arms around my waist. I chuckled as he kissed my neck softly and then spun me out then back into his arms quickly.
Laying my head on his chest, I smiled and listened to his heart beat " You're beautiful" he whispered in my ear, I blushed at his voice and kissed his lips softly. Pulling away I looked into his eyes as he smiled " Come on, let's go dance" he told me, before leading me to the door and towards the dance floor.
When we were on the dance floor I placed a hand into Ichigo's then one on his shoulder. I blushed when his large hand went to my waist and he began to lead me down the floor to the classical music. I never thought that Ichigo would be a dancer because at all the dances we have been to he didn't dance at all. But I wasn't going to ruin the moment.
After hours and hours of dancing I and Ichigo decided to leave the ball. We didn't see Karin or Toushiro around meaning they probably went to his house since, his parents were out of town and Momo was going out to Ururu's house for a sleepover with Yuzu. I also noticed Tatsuki and Byakua were gone which was weird because usually brother was one f the last to leave. For some reason while I and Ichigo were dancing I kept feeling like someone was watching which lead us to leave.
Now we were in his truck leaving the ball, I looked over at Ichigo and smiled softly. As the truck stopped I looked at the black Koursaki house and noised there was no car in the drive way " Where are your parents?" I asked, usually they were home and still up when it came to all their children being out.
" Dad had a doctors meeting in Tokyo and mom went with him" he answered as he got out of the truck, I followed him quickly and walked towards the empty house. When he opened the door I walked into and pulled him inside by his red tie. Tonight was going to be magical.
