AN: The last chapter was so cheesy, I don't even begin to say. . . . .tsktsktsk. Oh well, hopefully, this chapter is much better. I have no idea. Oh, WARNING!- It might contain some spoilers, so yeah. Like, about Byakuya. Thanks for helping me spell his name right- I think.

Chapter 3

Hear My Plea, Byakuya

"What is it, Rukia, that you called me here today for?" Asked Byakuya as he stood, not looking at his younger sister.

"When you told me about your marriage to my sister Hisana, you told me that you broke a rule by marrying her, am I right?" Rukia began slowly. Byakuya paused. Why was she bringing this up? He simply gave a nod, signaling her to continue.

"Your love must've been strong enough to have broken the family's rules." Rukia paused, making sure her brother was taking this in. "Well, I love Renji just as much as you loved Hinsana. I am willing to break any rules just to be with him. . . ."

"What would you like me to do, Rukia? I swore I would not break these rules again." He said, turning around and facing her.

"Please, Byakuya-nii sama, please hear my plea. Try to convince the family to bless the marriage." Said Rukia, her eyes glistening because of the tears, and her eyes full of sadness.

Byakuya thought for a while. Bringing up Hisana made a good point, but he did swear that he would never break another rule again after adopting Rukia as his own sister. "I," Byakuya stopped, not knowing what to say. "I'll see what I can do." He said firmly. Rukia's faced transformed into a happy smile, but with tears gently running down her cheeks from happiness. She hugged him, which startled him a bit.

"Thank you so much, Byakuya-nii sama." She said.

"Rukia, remember- it's not a guarantee though. So do not get your hopes up so high. Are you determined no matter what to marry Renji?"

Rukia backed away and gazed somewhere else, thinking. "Yes." She finally answered. Her answer wasn't shaky, or unsure; It was firm and certain. "Yes, I still would, even if it meant disgracing the family name. I would do it."

Byakuya nodded. "I must be going now, Rukia. I'll do my best. Good-bye." He said, as he left her. She nodded with a smile. She felt reassurance, and just a bit of hope.

End for now

Yeah, I know it was short, but yeah. I'll come up with another chappie. Soon. If I have time. Peace out my homies.
