Jaw dropper...

Ichigo walked inside with his head hung. It was rather upsetting...marrying a idiot and all. He sighed and slammed the door shut.

Yes...he'd slam it shut releasing his rage.

"Son."

Ichigo looked up at Isshin. "What now."

Isshin shook his head. "You'll thank me one day son. When you have babies and love them with all your heart like i love my babies!"

Ichigo shoved his hands in his pockets and walked up to his room.

"Stupid laws...stupid dad." He reached his doorway and the ora in the room shifted.

"Kurosaki-kun!" His Princess was sitting on his bed smelling his sheets. It was..very..disturbing. I mean..dont get it wrong..he liked that this girl liked him so much..but uh come on now. Dont go smelling his blankets.

She pulled the fabric from her face. "I was um just doing..some.. umm."

Ichigo shook his head and walked over to his wardrobe. Somewhere in here he had a nice dress shirt and pants. "Orihime, this dinner is very important to my father. And apparently to me. So i need you to be very polite to these people."

"Ofcourse kurosaki-kun! Anything for you!"

Ichigo nodded. "You know..you dont have to call me kurosaki-kun...ichigo is fine."

"Oh no. I like kurosaki-kun."

Ichigo nodded. "Okay then."

Orihime layed herself on his bed and smiled "Oh kurosaki-kun. I would love to cook for you ...ive only had two messengers die on me within the last two weeks! Thats a new reocord!"

Ichigo tried to smile..but on the inside..he wanted to run his ass off into the forbbinden land of Hueco Mundo! And never return.

"Should i make something for tonight!.?"

"NO! Please dont. Its a formal dinner.. the..umm..chefs paid already."

"Okay then dear!" Orihime smiled.

8 A.M ...The next 10 hours..had hell writen all over it!

xxxx

Isshin stood rearranging the plates. Karin and Yuzu were playing with the over grown dog Komamaru. And ichigo was stuck between the real world and the one Orihime was planing for herself.

"Son they will be here soon. Remember Its Noble Kuchiki not Byakuya."

Ichigo shrugged. "I might forget."

"Dont."

"No promises."

"And remember, its Lady Rukia. Not Noble Hisana."

Ichigo nodded. That he should remember. "Yeah. Lady Hisana."

"NO! LADY RUKIA!."

Ichigo paced in cirlces. "Shit dad..i cant do this!"

"Ichigo! Kurosaki and Kuchiki clans have been fighting for generations. This fued is destorying our land! You have to!"

Ichigo rubbed his eyes with his palms. "What if i say something wrong."

"Son you couldnt mess this up even if you hit on Noble Kuchiki himself. Prove to him your a happily engaged young lad who wants nothing more than to end a fued and unite."

Ichigo took a deep breath. "Alright. I can do this."

They looked at eachother and nodded. Kurosaki men were no cowards.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Theyre here!" They both gasped.

"Answer the door son."

"Hello no! you answer it!"

"No your the future king!"

"Your the current king!"

They both waved their arms frantically. And finally it was ichigo who nervously walked to the door. His palsm were sweaty and his head felt light. He grabbed ahold of the door handle..and pulled it open.

He was face to face with THE Kuchiki. He nearly shit bricks.

"Byakuya." ...NOOOO! 10 seconds and he screwed it up! The look in Byakuyas eyes said it all. "Noble Kuchiki..i mean..wont you please come in."

Byakuya eyed the young man. Then quietly walked in. Behind him was the so called Lady Rukia.

She stepped up into the light. At that moment he thought he could see the dead. Lady rukia was a mirror image of her sister hisana! But..no..it couldnt be..Noble hisana was at the least 27. Lady rukia was only 17. Ichigo looked at her astonished. Lady Rukia..she was a jaw dropper. She was absolutly..beautiful.

"Hi."

"Hello." Lady Rukia smiled. And Ichigo nearly lost it.

"Its a pleasure to meet you Lady Rukia. Im-"

"Prince Ichigo of the Kurosaki clan. Son of Isshin and Masaki Kurosaki. And future king of Karakura Town." Rukia extended her hand. "Its a pleasure to meet You." Ichigo shook her hand and smiled.

He wanted her to stand there..and let him look at her. She was stunning! She wore a dress that was showed off her tiNY waist. It was certainly different. It was black and long. Not so long it drug on the floor..but short enough to show her black strappy sandals. The dress had one strap that wrapped around her neck.. He wondered how it was staying up?

He couldnt get over how..remarkable she looked.

"Lady Rukia. Please. Go inside before Noble Kuchiki gets upset with me."

What the? Who was this?

Lady rukia stepped into the palace of the kurosaki's and exposed the man behind her. He had Bright Red hair. Ichigo..didnt like him.

"I am sorry Renji." Lady rukia walked past ichigo over to Byakuya. Leaving Ichigo and Renji.

"Hello. Im Ic-"

"I dont care who you are. Im only here to protect lady rukia. I dont like her being on this side of the land. You kurosaki's infect the land and the lovely ladies that go along with it!"

Ichigo glared at this Renji! Who the feck did he think he was. Ichigo leaned in enough to whisper. "This is really important to me and my father. I will not raise my voice. And I will not kill you. You do not know me. And all i know about you so far..is that your a dick."

"Ichigo close the door son."

"If you insult me or my clan again. Ill personally feed you to my dog." Ichigo turned toward his father and grinned. "Yes Father." He shut the door and walked toward the table.

Byakuya was standning straight with his hands in his coat. Rukia was looking around the house with big eyes. And renji was looking at rukia. And, oh..ichigo didnt like it.

"Noble Byakuya, Lady Rukia and Renji. Please have a seat. Dinner will be served soon and thenwe can catch up." Isshin waved them to sit.

Ichigo pulled the chair closest to his seat out for Lady rukia. She smiled before sitting.

The table was long like a rectangle. At one end would be Isshin, Ichigo would be at the other. On one side would sit Byakuya Renji then Rukia. On the other side would sit Karin Yuzu then Orihime.

Everyong sat. And it was awkward.

"I would like to say Thank you for coming Noble Kuchiki Lady Rukia and Renji. It means alot to me and my son to gain your trust."

Ichigo nodded. "Last time we met was..over ten years ago. Thats a long time."

Byakuya nodded. "Yes. I remember you spilled your juice on my white scarf that day."

Rukia giggled and Renji crossed his arms.

...Silence...

"Im very sorry for your loss Mr. Kuchiki sir." Yuzu smiled. "She was very beautiful and kind hearted. I do hope shes in a better place."

Byakuya's lips almost formed a arc up. But h stopped it.

"She was really nice. Mom used to say, they were such good friends." Karin added.

Byakuya nodded. "Thank you..thats very nice to say."

Maybe things will turn out for the best tonight.

Isshin smiled. "Hey...Byakuya..i just thought of something. The last time we met. We both had wives!"

Ichigos eyes bulged and Everyong gasped.

Oh dammit! Well...hey..atleast things were working in their favor. Shit..this day was going to end in pain.

"Oh..the food is here." Rukia finally said.

The chefs walked in bringing food on shiney silver plates. Then they left. Leaving the Feuding families..to..well..feud i guess.

"Byakuya..as future king. I would like to come to a peaceful agreement slash treaty slash can we just end the fueding." Ichigo finally said.

Byakuya looked at the young man.

"Why."

"Why not? No feuding means better crops, stores, merchandise, bigger land to expand bussiness and by uniting we can work together to eliminate any possible threats to come."

Byakuya nodded in agreement. "What do you plan to do when your king."

"I plan to save my town and unite with yours." His heart was racing..so hard it felt it would pop.

"Ichigo. Has anyone ever said how unique your hair color is?" Rukia had been staring at him the whole time. "Its..handsome."

Handsome? Ichigo turned to her and smiled. "Thank you lady rukia, and might i say your eyes are as gorgeous as the moon."

Princess Orihime was to stupid to see a lil flirting going on. Which was fine with ichigo.

"And your amber eyes remind me of the autumn leaves. They are truely beautiful."

Ichigo felt his cheecks get hot. Oh dang. This wasnt good. He was getting some mixed signals from Lady Rukia. Or was he? He wanted to know now! But... too many people in the room. Curse them.!
