A/N:Wow, so many hits! If my drawings in deviantart had that many hits I'd go nuts, and I'm so glad I got reviews. I thought I wouldn't care about getting them but I-was-so-wrong o.o. Anyway, here's the second chapter, along with a bear hug and cookie for all those who reviewed.

Disclaimer:I actually do own bleach...I'm also married to Byakuya.

Chapter 2

"…so I challenged Ikkaku to a match this Wednesday, nothing big, just whoever knocks out the other opponent first wins, and I'm going to win!" Renji exclaimed with unmasked pride. "So, are going to come?...Oi! Rukia!"

Rukia snapped out of her thoughts to listen to what Renji was talking about. She gave him a ,"Oh that's very good Renji!" and retreated back into her own thoughts, making sure to nod her head occasionally and smile while Renji continued with his monologue.

"…and before you know it, I'll be able to defeat Captain Kuchiki aswell! That'll show Byakuya who the monkey is," he grumbled.

Rukia's thoughts shattered again on hearing nii-sama's name, giving way to recall her recent dream. The events in her dream replayed for the thousandth time and Rukia felt her face grow hot, again.

Renji frowned and put his hand on Rukia's forehead, asking with concern, "Rukia, are you feeling okay? You look like you have a fever or something. Your face is all red."

Rukia thanked whoever was up there that they had made Renji as oblivious as he was and pushed aside his hand, taking up the defensive. "Of course there's nothing wrong with me, I just feel a little hot from practice." She quickly jumped to her feet and walked away before Renji could figure out she was actually blushing, "stop being my mother Weird Brows!" and she stalked off.

Renji looked at Rukia's receding back with confusion, "well what the hell is…WAIT! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU CALL ME!?" but she had already vanished.

Rukia flash-stepped her way to the forest near the sixth squad head quarters and entered inside. She continued to quietly walk till she had stopped at a particular place. It was her most favourite place where she usually would practice with her soul slayer. It was a wide clearing with beautiful sakura trees surrounding it like a fence. The high branches had criss-crossed their way above Rukia's head to form a roof of sorts. Sakura petals would continually fall down from their high positions all year round, but would amazingly never finish. It was like winter, only permanent and pink. It had this magical feel to it and it was the only place where she could think clearly. Whenever she was lonely or sad, or just needed to practice, she would come here. It was her personal heaven.

The only disadvantage about the place was that it was very near to the sixth squad building; though this had never been a problem. Rukia had used the long route today, avoiding all possible places where her brother usually visited, which weren't that many, nii-sama usually spent the whole day in his office doing paper work.

Sitting under one large Sakura tree, she allowed herself to think about her dream. It had been the first time she had ever dreamed about making love. Usually, her dreams had been about Kaien and hollows; Kaien dying and Rukia battling with hollows. Would she even dream about nii-sama, he would be his usual cold, distant self. But her adoptive brother in last night's dream had been anything but that. Having sex with him aside, she had never dreamt of him smiling before. Rukia felt her face grow hot again as she recalled how his lips had felt against hers.

The dream had been so real. So real that Rukia swore she had woken up by her actual moans. When she woke up, she was ready to bet her life that nii-sama was still there in her room, laying beside her in her bed. When she saw that he wasn't there, she realized what had happened and had instantly felt horribly mortified. No, not by the fact that he wasn't there, but that she had dreamt of him in such a sick and twisted way.

But it had felt so right...so good. The feel of his skin as they had made love under the moonlight, her hands in his silky hair that had felt like crushed silk as she had kissed him with a passion she hadn't known she had. Rukia swore that she had even been able to smell his scent, that of musk. She could even remember how she had shivered when he had given small love bites down her neck. She shivered now. And his eyes! Always so cold and distant but had been so dark and full of lust and passion…

Urgh! What the hell was she thinking! Rukia clamped her hands over her ears, hoping the images would vanish. When had she become so perverted? And the last part! Jumping on him at the last moment. That didn't sound like something she would do! And dropping his Kenseikan like it was nothing! He was nii-sama for God's sake! The man who had graciously adopted her into his prestigious noble clan. The man who she had always considered a brother, even though they were not related by blood. The man who she hoped she could even half be like, attain even half the power he had, hold even half the status he held in soul society. He was her role model.

It was a known fact throughout soul society that Kuchiki Byakuya was 'handsome.' No, handsome wasn't the right word, freakin-mind blowing-drop dead-gorgeous was more like it. Practically every female, and maybe some males, above the age of two hundred must have had a crush on him at some point. He had wealth, power and status along with good looks. He was the most popular captain among the 13 Squads, he belonged to the Kuchiki clan, one of the four noble clans.

It was also a known fact that Kuchiki Byakuya was already taken. He had first been taken by Hisana and now, after her death, by his job as a captain. He had neither the time nor the inclination to flirt or commit with anyone. His frosty and aloof attitude towards people helped his goal to keep them at bay.

Still, most of them would pass those qualities as characteristics that made him sexy and alluring. His unattainable status made him all the more desirable. All things considered, you would have to be crazy not to fall for him.

Rukia must be crazy because she had never felt that way about her brother. She held a deep admiration and respect for him and nothing more. The amount of power and status he had had always intimidated her a bit, that along with his cold attitude towards her. His ability to look at her like she wasn't at all important had first scared her. But after he had rescued her from Aizen, nearly killing himself in the process, she realized that he wasn't all that heartless and her respect for him grew even more.

She stopped feeling so intimidated by him and could actually look him straight in the eye. Their almost non-existent conversations during breakfast and dinner lengthened a bit. Rukia even tried to joke a bit around him, even though he would always look at her with utmost seriousness in return.

She didn't know why she had that dream and blamed it on working too much. Lately, she had been training extra hard. Captain Ukitake had told her that if she worked hard enough, she could become a lieutenant in the 13th squad. She had always been powerful enough to get a ranked seat, but nii-sama had straight-out told her that she would never get one as their missions were too dangerous. He personally made sure about that. She wanted to become lieutenant real bad, she hated feeling like she was the weak link, weaker than Ganju, even weaker than Hanatarou…she felt pathetic. Now she had a chance to prove her worth so like hell she wasn't gonna take it!

The only problem was nii-sama. Lately she had been thinking up ways to break the news to him, but all those scenes would end in him quietly dismissing her with a round 'no.'

"Yep, it's definitely stress," Rukia thought with a satisfied nod. "I've been thinking about him too much, so that's why I had that dream." She had probably wanted to dream of how nii-sama would be if he were actually kind and that dream had been the result of it. Rukia laughed at the lame attempt, she should have dreamed of her brother in a Chappy the Bunny costume…jumping around going pwon pwon.

Rukia laughed again; her mood considerably lightened and got to work. She took out her soul slayer and practiced some moves. Soon her mind was so occupied in fighting that she forgot about everything else…especially him.

A/N: Well there's the second chapter, again, if there are any mistakes, please overlook them, I don't have a beta reader and my sister refuses to beta read for me, she just looked at the first chapter and ran off, calling me disturbed. My answer to that, I just pointed at her and laughed like a maniac...which I guess proved her point.

Next chapter will star Byakuya!
