Summary: There are things Rukia would never tell Byakuya
A/N: Rukia's a funny sort of character. She seems like the type who keeps secrets easily and never lets anyone really get to know her. I figure that she's hiding SOMETHING. Why twenty-one things you might ask? Coz I couldn't think of thirty, and I couldn't stop at twenty. Sorry.
Rukia has loved Renji since she was a child; this has never changed.
When Rukia was accepted into Ukitake-taichou's squad, she slept with Kaien after her first mission in the real world; Kaien took that secret to the grave when he died.
When Rukia first met Ichigo, she truly believed that she was being punished for taking Kaien's life.
Rukia loves rabbits, and wanted one as a pet for as long as she can remember; she only hopes Byakuya never finds the rabbit hock at the bottom of the garden behind the rose bushes.
Rukia isn't sure what she hates Hisana more for – dying and leaving Byakuya alone, or for abandoning her. Sometimes she thinks it's both.
When Rukia learnt that Ichigo had come to Sereitei to save her life, she wasn't angry because he did so, she was angry that she would be allowed to live.
Rukia knew that Byakuya had prevented her from becoming a seated officer, she knew the reason why, and she was deeply grateful that he did so.
When Rukia first learnt about Shirayuki, she was awed that something so beautiful had come from her Rukongai bred soul.
Once, when she was younger, Rukia stole Byakuya's kenseikan and buried it under a cherry tree.
After Kaien died Rukia snuck into Byakuya's room every night for a month and slept at the foot of his bed because she didn't want to be alone.
Once a month, Rukia dismisses the servants and prepares Byakuya's meals herself. It always pleases her that he has more of an appetite when she does this.
Rukia hates the sakura trees; they make her brother sadder than usual.
Rukia can drink more sake that Kyouraku-taichou will ever be able to, she knows how horrified Byakuya would be if she told him that she sneaks out of the house every so often to go drinking in Rukongai.
Rukia got into a fight with Madarame Ikkaku once and won. Madarame was in the fourth division for two days.
When Shirayuki refused to tell Rukia her name, Rukia sat in her room and yelled at her zanpakutou for three and a half hours.
Rukia has a temper, and can swear worse than Shiba Kaien.
Rukia heard Byakuya use some filthy language once after he accidentally spilt some ink on a division report.
She trains for four hours every night; this isn't so she can advance but so she can make her brother proud of her.
She once pushed her servant into the fishpond and left her there after she caught her making fun of Renji.
Rukia has a tattoo of a heart on the small of her back, it reminds her to love without prejudice.
Rukia loves her brother more than anything else in the world, and would kill (and has) without hesitation if it meant his safety.
