Okay, here's the next chapter. . . . .please review!
Chapter 7
The Offer
"What kind of offer, Byakuya-san?" Asked Renji.
"The Kuchiki family is under my control now- no elders there anymore." Byakuya said.
Rukia gasped a bit. "You mean?"
"Yes. Ottosan and Okasan had died just two years ago, and now I have finally had the chance of making my way over here."
"And what are you saying?" Asked Renji.
"Well, now that I'm in control, I was wondering if you two would want to move back into the Soul Society where Renji can resume being lieutenant." Said Byakuya.
Rukia just looked at Renji. His eyes didn't meet hers, but instead, he looked down at the table, deep in thought. Rukia thought about it. Sure, she wanted to return to Soul Society and perhaps Haru can start going to Shinigami Academy. Then the following year, Ayame can enter too.
"Are you sure?" Asked Rukia.
Byakuya nodded.
"Renji. . ." Breathed Rukia as she glanced at him. He was still deep in thought.
"Well Rukia. . ." Renji said suddenly. "What do you think?" He asked, his gaze turned upon Rukia.
"I. . . . .I want to." She said. "Haru can enter the Shinigami Academy and then Ayayme can too, later." She said. Renji nodded.
"Are you sure I can become lieutenant right away, Byakuya-san?" Asked Renji.
"Yes."
"Well Rukia," He said, taking a breath and relaxing a bit. "I guess we're moving." He said with a smile. Rukia hugged him.
"It'll be nice having you two back." Said Byakuya with a small smile. "Well, looks like I have to go, but I'll be back within a couple of days to keep in touch." He said, standing up. Rukia stood up with Renji following right behind them as she escorted Byakuya to the door.
Rukia closed the door and sighed as she looked at Renji. She hugged him.
"Looks like we're going to move. . ." She said.
"Life will be better, Rukia." He said.
"It's already good enough for me." She said as she leaned in to kiss him.
End for now
