After I had passed out in the room yesterday after hearing the voices, Isshin had took me to train due to it being Saturday. Though we came back as soon as I successfully completely in achieving my power but the problem was I can only access it for five minutes until I start using it more often. I watched as the whole family sat at the table eating lunch when I notice Isshin kept grinning at me and wouldn't stop but I knew it was because I had completed the training.
"Quit it with that idiotic smile" Karin shouted as she landed a punch in his face making him fall back with the chair, "do you know how creepy you look"
"Ow! Oh how can you treat your beloved father that way~" Isshin exclaimed while trying to stop his bleeding nose, making Yuzu run over to him trying to help.
"Karin! You could have really hurt him"
"Now, now children your scaring poor Ichigo" Masaki told them. I turned to her to give her a weak smile as I finished eating. While the others settled back down and started eating again.
"So Ichigo the girls and I are going over to Rukia's right now do you wish to join us" Masaki asked me as she stood up, collecting the plates. I fidgeted a little not meeting her gaze I haven't really been on Rukia's good side or haven't even talked to her about what happen. Then the banquet was tonight and I still needed to inform Orhime that her presence was expected not only that but its going to be held in the very same spot where I had lost my memories eight years ago and I was getting nervous that what happen in the room yesterday could happen at the banquet tonight.
"It's fine I understand that you and Rukia had a little misunderstanding" she went on taking my silence as a no. I nodded my head still unable to look at her or anyone else. She gathers the plates and went to the kitchen with both girls following behind her. I turned to look at Isshin who had his idiotic smile again and tissue paper stuck up his nose helping to stop the bleeding I rolled my eyes at him and stood, heading for the door.
"Masaki I'll be back around eight" I yelled while looking at Isshin who kept smiling at me, after hearing an okay from the kitchen I turned to open the door.
"Stop with the smiling you look like an perverted old man" I told Isshin and walked outside heading towards Orhime's house. It was a Saturday with a clear bright blue sky, people strolling by laughing, talking with each other, a breeze passing by every now and then. When I finally got to Orhime's apartment I reached for the spare key she had given me when I gave her mine. Opening the door I was hit with the odd smell of cooking and humming. I smiled making my way towards the kitchen to see Orhime in a light blue dress, hair tied up in a pony tail, swaying side to side as she kept humming to herself while stirring something in the pot.
"I see you're in a good mood," I said startling her and abruptly turned around.
" Ichigo! You scared me"
I smiled at her and went over to sit in her small table. Orhime lived alone since her brother was still in a coma; she made her way to sit beside me. "So tell me what's new?" "Ah nothing really but um... Their having a banquet tonight at Seireitei Hall and your expected to go" I told her nervous at what she'll say.
Her smile disappeared when the words left my lips, she advert her gaze as she whispered a why. I shrugged my shoulders letting out a deep sigh "Apparently I wasn't suppose to tell you anything about them, now Rukia said u must go"
"Will they all be vampires? Will I be going with you?" she asked lifting her eyes to meet mine, giving me a weak smile. I nodded my head and saw worry in her eyes I add "if you don't want to go you don't have to I can make up an excuse for you" I told her, even though Rukia had said their will consequences for not going but I wasn't going to make her go.
"No, I'll go as along as you don't leave my side," she warned me in a playful tone.
"As long as you never leave my side Ichigo I will be fine"
I frowned as I heard the voices again but then quickly smiled when Orhime looked at me with a worry expression, "I promise"
"Then I'll never leave your side Rukia, I promise"
"Pinky promise" she asked stretching out her right pinky I gave her a weak smile as I connected my pinky with hers.
"No wait, I pinky promise that way I will stay with you forever"
"Pinky promise"
"Alright then Ichigo it'll be our promise of eternity"

I let out a deep sigh as the maids were preparing me. I had gone with a bright purple strapless ball gown that had many sparkling crystals with white vine like design at the bottom; the top had bigger crystals around the heart shaped line, the back was completely backless and was left uncover when my raven hair had been curled and pinned up only leaving a few lose strands. One maid opened a wooden box that held a diamond choker necklace that would cover half of my chest as I admired the different colors it gleamed when light reflected on it. After they were finished they all stepped back to admire their work and sigh in awe.
"I would assume you guys did a excellent job," I asked making them nodded their heads in excitement when Momo enter the room carrying a wooden box towards me. I slowly opened it to reveal a beautiful diamond crown sparkling just like the necklace it wasn't tall nor was it small but just the right size, the design was breath taking, then the color was a light violet instead of the traditional white. I frowned when I got the feeling that I had seen this crown before, slowly I brushed the tips of my fingers against it.
"Is there something wrong your highness, do you not like it? I brought it from the Jewelry room thinking it would match your dress?" Momo sated looking at me with worry eyes. That's when I remembered where I have seen it; it was Hisana's crown. It's been eight years since I had last saw it. My eyes went up to glare at Momo who started to avert her gaze, afraid.
"I will not wear it, bring in mine" I hissed. She bowed repeatedly and mutter apologizes while holding out the box in front of her. I heard her collapse to the ground still muttering apologizes. Letting out a deep sigh as I tried to relax I told Momo in a clam voice, "It's fine, sorry I scared you, just bring in mine"
Once Momo had brought in mine crown I was taken to Seireitei hall and was currently in one of the rooms that was beside the ballroom. I paced around unsure of the outcome of tonight, hearing the guests outside talk and laugh made me more agitated. I could feel Ichigo and the human girl with the rest of the Kurosaki family.
"Ichigo…" I whispered out loud when I felt someone's presence behind the door, "Are you planning to come in or are you just admiring the wooden door" I said. The door slowly opens to reveal none other than Ichimaru Gin in a white suite, his eyes as always narrowed into slits while wearing a mocking grin.
"Sharp as always my queen" he commented and came in the room his eyes scanning my body. I gritted my teeth, I can't explain how much I detest this man his eyes always watching my every movement. "I just came to see if security was prepared with careful planning," he explained as he came to tower over me.
"If you have concerns with the security, then speak with Aizen he's in charge of that" I spat, narrowing my eyes at him. He's smirked at me then titled his head to the side making his silver hair sway.
"True but is it safe to put so much faith in him? I mean what if something happens…"
"It's not a matter of trust, but if you know something then speak now Gin!"
He shook his head no though he gave a bitter laugh making fume in anger. I let my energy flow out at full power making him stop and cringe as he half kneeled.
"You have odd humor if you find it funny that your queen might be in danger" I growled but I sealed my energy quickly not wanting to alarm anyone outside. When Momo spoke behind the door telling me it was time, not wanting to deal with gin I decided to leave the room.
"Now my queen is that any way to treat your suitor?" he asked in a mocking tone.
"Your just one of my suitors, but until I choose one you'll show me respect"
"You can't keep it from him for much long since you'll have to chose one soon" he mocked as he flashed step to stand beside me grabbing my hand and lead me out of the room. He continued to pull me along until we were in front of two large double doors that opened slowly. I rose my head high and smiled, trying to pry Gin's hand off of mine before entering the room. It was to late he pulled me in, the moment we did everyone bowed to me including the elder and the nine-clan leaders, who stood behind him. I closed my eyes trying to fight back my anger as Gin continued to pull me along toward the elder who continued bowing with his cane, wearing his traditional black robes. The elder was an old man with a very long white beard and long eyebrows; there was two pair of long perpendicular scars above his right suggesting he had been in battle, which was true.
"Elder Yamamoto it's good to see your doing well," I said as he straightens himself up and I turned to everyone else still struggling to free myself from Gin, "Let us continue with the celebration of the safe arrival of the elder along with having returned home once again after eight years" Everyone stood up and gave claps some rising their wine glasses.
"Your highness walk with me" Elder Yamamoto said making me quickly slap away Gin's hand and move to walk beside the elder.
"Where are they?" he asked.
"Their here with the Kurosaki's" I informed him as he turned to someone who then left quickly. We walked into another room that connected to the ballroom and sat in a large table like the one I had at home. I looked around to see all of them dressed up, talking to each other expect for Gin who kept staring at me. When the door open to reveal Ichigo and human girl with their arms linked together. He wore a simple black and white suite as the human wore a white strapless sundress. They stood there looking at all of us making the leaders stopped their conversations to also look at him.
"Is this him?" Yoruichi asked standing up from her chair to get a better look at him her bright yellow gown puffing around her only to have Urahara pulled her down to sit once again.
"We were asked to come here," Ichigo stated looking straight at me.
" I would have thought he would be escorting you tonight, not a human," Hisagi spoke out, turning to look at me.
"Yes I would have also thought he would be with you this evening your highness, or is there trouble in paradise?" Aizen commented.
"After all the trouble you went for him" Gin interject with a boring tone.
"Silence you fools! You dare to mock your queen and not only that but to show such attitude in front of the elder!" Toshiro hissed at them making them advert their eyes away from me to Elder Yamamoto who sat at the end of the table besides me.
"Incompetent fools" Soifon whispered under her breath that earned glares from the three of them. Aizen was about to retort something when Unohana gave him a smile that gave a threatening feeling.
"Think before you say something you'll regret," she said in bittersweet voice.
"How about we keep our mouth shut and let Elder Yamamoto with Lord Kuchiki and her highness to deal with this" Hirako interjected " cause clearly we wont get anywhere if we go on like this so please Elder"
We all stood silent as we waited. Ichigo maintained his gaze with me, his amber eyes showing worry as he cast a glance towards the human. Knowing what he meant I slightly nodded my head, finding myself unable to say no.
"I don't wish to participate in this besides I think my dear sister in able to make a wise decision," My brother argued in his cold expressionless voice.
"Very well then, Kurosaki Ichigo" The Elders hoarse voice made look at him.
"Yes?"
"Do you know the situation that we are in?"
Ichigo shrugged his shoulders " well not really Rukia never went into detail but I'm guessing it's because I told Orhime and because I can be a security threat to your people"
Whispers went out when they heard him use my name instead of my titled. The Elder cleared his throat and glanced at me before turning his attention toward Ichigo again.
"The fact that you were found alive did surprise me but didn't cause a threat to us. I trust her highness's judgment but the really problem is the human"
I let out a deep sigh when I heard his words as the weight of my shoulders was lifted now knowing he was safe.
"I can promise you she won't say a thing I've know her since I lost my memories-"
"How can you be sure she would understand our life?" the elder question "A mere human isn't meant for our world"
"She's strong, brave and I know she won't betray me"
"Silence! You have no proof of what she'll do in the future!"
"She wont say a thing I can guarantee it!"
"You may be willing to risk your people's safety for a mere human I will not therefore your highness I suggest a vote should decide for her elimination…"
I saw the human grip Ichigo's arm tighter and look at him in worry before he turned to me look at me, His pleading eyes telling me to do something. This was becoming to be like one of those human soap operas, I swear.
"Wait…The human has known about us for a while" I lied to them " If she wanted to expose us she would have done so by now plus to expose us to humans will mean to expose Ichigo" I said in a challenging tone looking at the human.
"What do you mean by that?" Unohana asked.
"If Ichigo is someone she cares for deeply, like she has informed me, then there's no reason for us to worry"
"I do and I'll die before doing something that will harm Ichigo," she declared narrowing her eyes at me as I smirked at her.
"We shall see but remember this human you say a word about us to anyone especially to that four eyes of a friend I will personally see to your end, meeting dismiss" I got up without saying another word and left the room, picking my dress from the sides, not wanting to discuss this any further.
~{0.o}~
I had seen her walk into the ballroom hand in hand with a man that had silver hair and eyes narrowed into slits. Nonetheless, She was beautiful, the way the necklace sparkled and the crown that was placed on her head was all breathe taking, the way she held her head high with so much confidence; But seeing her come with that man made me feel uneasy and being inside this building didn't make me feel any better. The feeling worsen when they wanted to kill Orhime, even so with the elder wanting Orhime gone, Rukia was the one who had the last word leaving behind a fluster of vampires. Making me go after her when she left not to sure where she was going, I just needed to talk to her about Ishida, about everything. I carefully stood outside the door Rukia had gone in and waited when I heard a the sound of a piano playing a tune the same one Rukia had hummed and singed to me at the roof garden. Opening the door only to see Rukia playing a white grand piano in the centre of the room, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, its light given the crystals their iridescent color. I started to approach slowly as I stretched a hand towards her.
"Why are you crying? Is it because you're all alone?"
She stopped playing the piano and turn to face the other direction hiding her face from me making me stop in my tracks as my head started to hurt but I ignored the pain.
"Rukia are you okay?" I told her and approached slowly afraid she'll run off.
'If I told you the reason would you stay with me forever? But if you break your promise to me I'll kill you'
I heard her laugh and clear her throat "How can I be?" she asked turning slowly to face me, her violet eyes filled with tears "When the person who promise to stay by my side isn't keeping his promise"
'But your not alone anymore, I'm here'
'Yes, I suppose your right'
She got up slowly brushing her fingers on the piano and walked over to me, looking at me with her violet eyes that held so many emotions. "You still haven't remember anything," she stated making me agree with her. Why was I hiding the truth from her? Of course I don't remember my memories clearly only bits of pieces here and there but the memory of the promise I made to her that I half remember though I haven't told her. 'Who's Rukia?'
'She's someone who's been looking after you ever since you've been in my tummy, now get ready if we don't hurry who's going to stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks' She touched my cheek and gave me a weak smile, closing her eyes letting the tears spill out. I quickly brushed her cheeks wiping them away as I told her a lie that pained me even more knowing I was the person that was suppose to make her smile
"I'll remember soon"
Did you like Yes? Maybe? No? ( go easy on the no please)
