Disclaimer; I do Not own Bleach
BOOM!
Byakuya and Rukia broke from their embrace and stood up and hurried out from the mansion to see what's going on.
"What's going on here?" Byakuya asked a servant who hurried to them.
"Byakuya-sama, it looks someone just attack outside of the mansion!" The servant said looked at her master. Rukia looked at Byakuya worried.
"Rukia, let's go" he said used flash step.
Rukia also used flash step and was outside of the mansion and saw the intruder. A woman standing at the gate, holding her zanpaktou pointed at her.
"Kuchiki Rukia, you going with me" The woman said. She had long brown hair, emerald eyes. Rukia narrowed her eyes glared at them.
"I assume, it's was you who attacked the mansion just a moment ago right?" Rukia asked glared at the woman who smirked.
Rukia toke her own zanpaktou and got ready to fight when the woman raised a finger.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, unless you want your beloved Byakuya and your family die, make one move with your zanpaktou and our men will kill them, and don't think your friends are free from this. You put also them in danger if you attack me."
Rukia eyes widen in shock. "Surrender yourself to our master and we will spare your family and friends, come with us to Hakue-sama, either of us wants to do this but to end this trouble between the clans we must do what Hakue-sama says. You can end this Kuchiki Rukia. Become our masters' wife and he will not hurt the kuchiki clan or your friends."
Rukia looked down, her bangs hidden her face. "I will not surrender to you"
"Hm? What did you just say?" the woman said. Rukia looked up, determination in her eyes.
"I won't give myself to Hakue; I have faith in my family, in Byakuya and my friends. You wouldn't able to hurt them and if you do, you will wish you never were born!" Rukia's spiritual presence raised and the ground turned to ice, making the woman jump away from Rukia in shock. Rukia toke out her zanpaktou and it turned to its shikai form direct. The woman, known as Yuuki was frightened by Rukia's power. She had been told "the princess of the kuchiki" was powerful and Hakue-sama wanted that power to make the other clan even the Kuchiki clan to bow to the Kenjachi clan.
"Don't think you can defeat me even with your bankai, Kuchiki Rukia. I know how to take you down!" Yuuki screamed and raised her hand. A man appeared beside Yuuki.
"Lady Yuuki, the Kuchiki mansion are ours, we was able to trap Kuchiki Byakuya and the eldest."
Rukia froze and her eyes widen in shock. Yuuki smirked at the younger Kuchiki.
"So what are you going to do now?"
Rukia glared at them raising her sword and called out an attack.
"Some no Mai tsukishiro!" Yuuki and the man jumped away from the ice attack and used a kiddo to counter her attack.
Rukia used flash step to dodge the kiddo and appeared behind them.
But instead continue the fight, Rukia left them to find Byakuya. She flash stepped so fast she could, she come to the garden hiding her spiritual presence. She looked around and saw Miako and the eldest along with Byakuya. They were unconscious. Fearing they were hurt, Rukia was about to go to them but stopped herself when she saw Hakue' men was everywhere. Rukia gritted her teeth, her grip on Sode no Shirayuki tighten.
"Rukia-sama, there is nothing you can do now, leave the mansion now before they catch you too" Sode no Shirayuki said worried for her master.
"NO! I can't just leave my family here, I can't!"
"Rukia-sama, I know how you feeling but you have no choice, we will help them but not now, there is too many of them."
"Bah, we can take them down. Just freeze them to ice and use kiddo so they can't escape." Shirahime said, she wanted her master to use her powers to help her family.
Sode no Shirayuki narrowed her eyes at Shirahime. She was about to speak when another voice spoke.
"Sode No Shirayuki…"
Sode no Shirayuki' eyes widen. "Senbonzakura, is that you?" she asked.
"I have no much time, but my master told me to tell you take Rukia-sama out of here now, make sure she doesn't get catch by Hakue men."
"Hai, Senbonzakura." Sode no Shirayuki said her eyes closed.
"Good, take care and be careful, Byakuya-sama and the eldest put their fate in her, make sure she will be ready for it. I must go now farewell for now!"
"Senbonzakura!" Sode No Shirayuki screamed but got no answer. Shirahime looked at her with a raised eyebrow and then at Rukia. "Looks someone is close to Senbonzakura. You two aren't together are you?"
Sode no Shirayuki didn't answer. Rukia walked up to her laid her hand on hers shoulder.
"Don't worry it will be all right." Rukia whispered to her but Sode No Shirayuki looked at her master and nodded.
"Hai, Rukia-sama"
Rukia open her eyes tears in them, looked at them one last time, she flash stepped from the mansion to squad 13, there should she be safe for now.
It didn't take long she arrived to squad 13, she ran to Ukitake' office hoping he was there today.
She knocked on the door.
"Enter" She heard her captain say from inside. She walked in and saw her captain doing paperwork.
"Rukia, what's a surprise, what brings you here…?" Then he saw she was upset.
"Rukia, what's the matter?"
Rukia told him what happen at the kuchiki mansion. Ukitake stood up calling on Kiyone and Sentaro to send a message to Yamato.
"Don't worry Rukia, it will be all right, we will end this. I promise. "
The door was throwing up and in came Ichigo and Renji.
"It's true? The Kuchiki mansion was attacked and most of the kuchiki even the captain was captured?" Renji asked trying to catch his breath. Rukia slowly nodded. Ichigo stood up.
"Rukia there is no reason to look so sad; we'll help you to get them back. Even though Byakuya is a jerk he doesn't deserve to be captured like this." Ichigo said smiled. Rukia nodded. Then a shingami walked in.
"Thousand apologizes captain but I got a message to Kuchiki Rukia. The shingami walked to Rukia and gave her a letter. She opens it and started to read it.
"Kuchiki Rukia
We have your beloved family, even Byakuya if you want them back; I suggest you'll meet me at the forest near the Kenjachi clan mansion. You will get more information what you must do then, meet us there tomorrow night."
Rukia looked up her face showing fear and worry. Ukitake sat down again and sighed. He looked at Rukia.
"it looks we have no choice but do what he says Rukia, how is you training with your bankai doing?"
"I haven't started to train properly yet. Byakuya was suppose to help me but…"
"There is no need to look so sad Rukia, I'll help you" A female voice said. Everyone looked up and income Yoruichi.
"I was visit Soi fong when I heard an explosion at the kuchiki mansion, so I searched for you Rukia. I help you to train bankai, same way I trained Ichigo but you have a time limit. Are you up for it?" Yoruichi asked.
Rukia looked at her with a determination on her face. Yoruichi grinned.
"Good, let's start right now; I borrow her to tomorrow if you don't mind Ukitake."
Yoruichi grabbed Rukia's arm and flash stepped from the office. Renji, Ichigo and Ukitake watched the two female shingami had been standing.
"Captain, do you think they will able to help Rukia to gain more control of her bankai" Renji asked Ukitake who shrugged.
"Let's hope so."
Meanwhile.
Byakuya slowly open his eyes, he felt a headache was coming. He tried to move but find he couldn't someone had make sure he wouldn't able to at all.
"Looks you are finally waking up, Kuchiki Byakuya." Byakuya looked up and saw Hakue standing other side of the room watching him, smirked.
"Hakue, do you really think you will get away with this?" He asked glared at the man. Hakue laughed and grinned.
"you have no idea, Byakuya, Soon I will have your beloved sister or should I call her your love? I must admit, when I found out your relationship I was shocked but then I knew I could use it for my advantage to get Rukia."
"I dare you to touch her" Byakuya said getting angrier. Hakue just shake his head chuckled. "And how are you planning to stop me? And besides, I don't need to do anything, Rukia-Chan will come to me no matter, after all, she wouldn't want you or any of the eldest be in a danger. She will be willing to give after just to get you free."
Hakue left Byakuya in the room leaving him with his thoughts.

"Hai"
Yoruichi grinned and started the clock "let's get started.
