Chapter 10 Month 8
Rukia woke up in the middle of he night, and carefully claimed over Ichigo's sleeping body and sat down by the window. She opened the blinds and looked up at the moon. It's a full moon tonight. She thought to herself, she was caressing her large stomach, she was anxious of her impending birth.
"Rukia?" Ichigo groaned sleepily, "what are you doing up? Are you ok? The babies kicking too much?" he asked sitting up. Rukia was spaced out string at the moon, Ichigo wave his hand in front of her face, "Rukia?" but she didn't budge or blink. Ichigo grinned her carefully moved in closer to her, he gently placed a hand on her cheek, and turned her head towards him then kissed her deeply. Rukia's eyes shot open, then slowly closed as she was taken in by the kiss, she turned her body towards Ichigo, her hands lightly caressed Ichigo's bare chest. While his hands fell slowly from her shoulder to her hips, caressing her sides. He pulled back form their deep kiss, "Rukia, what's wrong?"
"I'm due next month." She said in low voice, with vary little emotion.
"Yeah, its pretty exciting." Ichigo said stroking Rukia's hair, "this whole situation has been really scary, but now it's kinda exacting."
"I'm really happy things turned out this way," Rukia said snuggling up to Ichigo, "I just wish Nii-Sama would be ok with this." Rukia sighed. Ichigo got off the bed and stood up.
"Come on then." He said.
"Come on what?" she asked.
"We're going to see Byakuya." Ichigo replied.
"Now!" she said in shock.
"Yeah, why not." He replied.
"Look at the time!" she said pointing to the clock.
"We well.. Wait at the front door until he wakes up!" Ichigo said, "I can tell how important Byakuya is to you, so I'm ganna help you patch things up with him." Rukia smiled and hugged Ichigo.
"Lets go." She said softly. They opened the sprit gate and made there way threw it. And into The Soul Society, and they did just like Ichigo said, they sat in front of the estate until it was a decent hour. Rukia walked in and was greeted by the Kuchiki servants. They reached Byakuya's room.
"Ichigo I cant do this!" she whispered.
"Its ganna be fine, I'm here." He assured. Rukia grabbed the sliding door and slid it open an inch.
"N-Nii-Sama…" She said in a sad and guilty tone, "Nii-Sama…" Rukia said again opening the door a little more. Rukia took a step in the room, she saw Byakuya on the porch outside of his room.
"Why have you returned?" Byakuya asked without looking at Rukia.
"Nii-Sama…I'm sorry it took me so long… I came to apologies." Rukia said slowly approaching her brother, "I'm sure Captain Unohana told you already… Nii-sama, I love Ichigo, and I just couldn't stand to be another mans wife." Rukia slowly took a seat by her brother, he spotted her gargantuan belly out of the corner of his eye and was completely shocked. He quickly turned away and tried to regain his composer.
"Humph, and I thought Captain Unohana was joking when she told me." Byakuya said passing it off as if it were nothing. Rukia played with the ring on her finger for a moment. Ichigo had now entered the room and was watching them. Tsk stiff. He thought rolling his eyes.
"Ichigo, he took me to the Real world court house, and we got married, I really do love him, and he loves me back." Rukia continued.
"Is this all you came to tell me?" Byakuya asked annoyed. He stood up and walked into his room, he rolled his eyes when he spotted Ichigo. Ichigo grabbed Byakuya shoulder.
"Can't you freaking tell she's trying to apologize! Get you head out of you're ass and make up! I no you still care, if you didn't you wouldn't be this pissed!" Ichigo said in a demanding tone.
"What do you know boy, do you even understand the shame brought upon the house? How hard it was to bring her into this family, and to get them to accept her! Then when its tome for her to show her appreciation, and do the only thing this family has asked of her, she runs off and gets pregnant!" Byakuya said, his voice filling with anger, and frustration.
"Did you even think to ask if she wanted to marry this guy!" Ichigo asked.
"Rukia should have understood her responsibility, and then do as she was asked." Byakuya replied, Ichigo looked at Byakuya like he was an idiot then began to laugh is ass off.
"Rukia! Do as told! Ahh! That's a good on man!" Ichigo said slapping Byakuya's back hard, and continuing to laugh his ass off.
"What is so funny?" Byakuya asked.
"Are you sure you're her brother? I mean come on! Rukia doesn't just do what people tell her! Maybe she listens to you, but she definitely dose not take orders from any on elts." Ichigo said, calming down, "any ways, I don't know anything about this arrange marriage crap, or why you would arrange a marriage, but I do no, that Rukia is you sister, and she loves and respects you, and she just wants you to understand, and maybe forgive her." Ichigo said looking over at Rukia who just stood there looking down at the ground. Ichigo walked over to her and put his arm around her, his hand on her shoulder, she looked up at his, her eyes were glassy, like she was about to cry, he smiled a small smile back at her, and they walked out of the manor, and went back to the real world.
