Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach!

This is my first Bleach story, so don't expect it to be too good!

Terribly sorry for the long wait! I had a lot of homework! :"(

And sorry to burst your bubble, but this is the last chapter!

I simply can't think of anymore ideas for this story and high school is wrecking my brain!

So please, read this chapter and I hope you enjoyed reading the story!

The Man in My Heart

Chapter Eleven: You are My Life

Two Years Later

At the end of the day with tiring work, Renji, Matsumoto, Shuuhei, and with Izuru being dragged by them, were all running for their lives from their enraged and annoyed captains as they went fast to get drinking. Almost everyone in Seireitei could hear them that they also decided to go back home. After all, it was almost time to go home anyway.

Byakuya twisted one of his eyebrows in annoyance. Abarai better finish the paperwork that he was assigned to do. Otherwise, Byakuya will make sure that he will get a painful beating.

Meanwhile with Rukia, she shook her head as she heard the panicking screaming of the four well-known and insane lieutenants. Sooner or later, they will have to learn how to be mature. And so far, no progress will tell that they will ever learn.

Sighing in defeat, she organized all of her work and left the office for the day. She walked until she reached the entrance of the Sixth's office. Smiling to herself, she barged into the room and jumped into Byakuya's lap, in results, surprised him to death.

Byakuya was just about to yell at the intruder when Rukia landed on his lap as his eyes widen in surprise. He looked at Rukia, who was giggling, and glared at her cold.

"What the hell made you come up with this crazy idea? I thought you had matters." Byakuya said with a hint of disappointment.

Rukia ignored his glare and kissed him. "I wanted to have a little more fun today. After all, this is the last day of the week. And I want to spend the whole weekend with you."

Byakuya raised his eyebrows with a knowing smirk, "Oh really? "

"Yeah, so what of it?" Rukia inquired.

"Well, I've been planning on taking you to dinner tonight," Byakuya stated, "Is that alright?"

Rukia blushed, "Since it's coming from you, then it's always okay."

Byakuya smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Then, I'll see you tonight," he said as he stood up and walked to the door.

"Oh! And by the way, the maid had set up your choice of clothing for the night," Byakuya pointed out, "See you then," and Byakuya left the room.

Rukia stared at the door in awe. Two of her happiest years in her life and she still doesn't believe that she's with the man in her heart.

During these two years, everybody knew about their relationship and congratulated them. When Ukitake arrived back from his vacation, he was not surprised, but he was truly happy for his little lietetnaut Kenpachi was sort of bugging Byakuya at first, but he stopped after a few months. Renji kind of knew that and was happy for them. The rest of their friends from the world of the living were okay with it, except for the fact that Ichigo was regretting ever cheating on Rukia. So, they were an accepted couple.

Remembering that she had to get ready, Rukia quickly ran home and changed into a silky white kimono with cherry blossom and snowflakes on it. It has been her favorite since the kimono was a birthday gift from Byakuya last year.

Rukia tied up the pink obi around her waist and combed her hair down. Once she was done, she looked at the mirror and smiled, knowing that Byakuya would appreciate her beauty.

A knock went on her door and Rukia opened it after placing her comb down on the desk.

Byakuya appeared as the door opened. He was wearing a blue and silver kimono and a black hakama. Rukia blushed at the sight as she said softly, "You look handsome."

Byakuya studied Rukia's appearance and smiled, "You look beautiful," he complimented, "Perhaps I'm very lucky guy tonight."

Rukia giggled and embraced him, "Or maybe that I'm the lucky one."

They both smiled at each other as they broke the embrace. Byakuya took Rukia's hand and lead her to a wild field of cherry blossoms.

Rukia looked around with a smile on her face. "You still remember that moment?"

Byakuya held her hand, "How could I not?" Byakuya said, "That was one of the most precious days of my life."

Rukia smirked, "Yeah, it was on your birthday last year and you thought I vanished out of thin air," she mentioned, "You got so worried that you searched the whole Seireitei and couldn't find me until midnight, which happened to be right here."

Byakuya glanced and smiled at that memory; he was working at his office when one of his servants said that Rukia was missing. Byakuya was so worried that he took the whole day off just to find his beloved midget. It wasn't until midnight that he found Rukia's spiritual energy and followed it to this field of cherry blossoms. He saw her on the middle of the field with her best kimono on (which happened to be the same one that she's wearing now) and greeted him "Happy Birthday, Byakuya."

You don't want to know what happened next. It kind of involves both of them in Byakuya's bedroom. (*blushing as hard as a tomato*)

Byakuya went back into reality and walked with Rukia to a little picnic set under the biggest tree.

Rukia was curious. "What is this doing here?" She looked at Byakuya in surprise, "Did you plan this?"

Byakuya smiled, "Yes, I thought it might enlightened the mood."

Rukia kissed him and seated herself beside him. On the set was spaghetti and meatballs.

"Where did you get this?" Rukia asked out of curiously.

"I got the advice from that Inoue girl," Byakuya answered, "I didn't know any type of food for the romantic terms, so I asked for advice."

Rukia laughed in disbelief while Byakuya sweat dropped.

"Sorry, it's just that we've been dating for two years and yet you still don't know how to be romantic!" Rukia exclaimed.

Byakuya smiled with no shame or embarrassment. Just as long as Rukia was happy and smiling, nothing matters to Byakuya.

Rukia stopped laughing and twirled her fork in the spaghetti. She took it towards Byakuya's mouth. "Say 'ah" Rukia cooed to him.

Byakuya smirked and ate the pasta. Then, it was his turn to do the same with Rukia. They did it for quite a while until the last pile of spaghetti.

Both Rukia and Byakuya picked up their forks and together, they caught one piece of spaghetti that connected their lips. They kissed passionately as they finished the pasta.

Several seconds passed and they both pulled away from lack of air.

"I love you, my love," Byakuya whispered lovely.

"I love you too," Rukia replied back softly.

Byakuya stood up and helped his lady up to walk to the shining lake. Rukia admired the lake with contentment in her eyes. What she didn't know was that Byakuya was kneeling on one leg before her.

Rukia, who was still oblivious to Byakuya's position, asked, "Isn't it a beautiful sight, Byaku-?!" As she turned her head to face Byakuya, she was shocked to see Byakuya kneeling before her.

Byakuya looked directly at Rukia's shocked eyes and smiled. He took her hand and began to speak.

"Rukia, my dear, I don't know what would happen if I didn't find you. Maybe I would've been miserable for the rest of my life because of Hisana's death. I'm glad that I met your sister, because she led me to you. You made me experience the things I've been through with your sister again. You made me another reason to live. You helped me to find a second chance in love. I will forever be faithful to you. I want to protect you and keep you happy for the rest of eternity. What I am trying to say is, will you do the honor of...marrying me?" Byakuya asked with love and passion.

Rukia had some tears of happiness as she bent down and hugged Byakuya tightly, "YES! A thousand times, YES!"

Byakuya smiled in pure happiness and laughed with her as he inserted the ring on Rukia's finger.

As the years progressed, Byakuya and Rukia got married. They had many adventures during missions. They were supported by their friends until the end. They also had three children, a son named Hokori, a daughter named Sakura, and another son named Josho.

For as long as they live, Rukia will always have Byakuya, The Man in Her Heart…

The End

FINALLY! I'm done with it!

Sorry if you were expecting more of it, but I just had to finish the story because I like to get things done.

Oh! Here's the meaning of their children's names:

Hokori- Pride

Sakura- Cherry Blossoms

Josho- Rising

Anyway, I might consider doing a companion one-shot from this story.

If I don't have too much homework!

Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Until then, SEE YA!
