What he needed...

Ichigo grinned and gently touched his lips. He was 17 ...he had youth, looks, money, and power. But the only thing he didnt have, was Lady Rukia. He walked back into his palace letting the door shut behind him. Casually he walked into the dinning room and took a seat among the nobles and family.

Byakuya sipped his wine while talking a silente language with Renji. As Ichigo walked in Rukia's attention turned to him, and his heart responded by beating faster. "Prince Ichigo, i hope you understand when i say we will be ending our dinner early." Byakuya scooted his chair back as he spoke.

Ichigo bit his lip. "No! ..I mean.. Please..stay just a bit longer. This dinner means alot to us."

Byakuya looked at ichigo with no sympathy. "I think their are people in this room who dont know how to act towards my family. This is a matter that i think should be delt with."

Renji's head dropped in shame. He would never hear the end of this til the day he died. But considering he might die on the way home, he had no fear.

"The matter will still exist in a few hours, please stay for a while longer."

Byakuya opened his mouth to protest but rukia spoke instead. "Nii-sama, Let us stay just a touch longer. Please?"

Byakuya sat back down and took a sip of wine. "A touch longer."

Lady Rukia smiled. "Prince Ichigo, I think now would be a appropiate time to discuss those treaty agreements."

"Huh?" He was to busy thinking of the kiss they had shared.

"The treaty? The reason we came over here in the first place." Renji muttered.

Ichigo looked back at renji, "Aww yes. Well lets begin with th-"

"Kuroosakii-kun?" Orihime slurred. "Why..do you want a treaty with these snotty people? Look at his stupid red hair!" Orihime giggled and took another sip of wine.

Ichigo looked at her with his mouth open. She had just called the nobles snotty. And there were a scary amount of empty wine bottles settled around her. "Dear! I think you had enough for tonight."

"No really, I want to know!" She paused to finish off her glass of wine. "We dont need her! Or mister scarf over there!"

Ichigo was turning red. "Stop! Thats enough! We dont disrespect our guest in this house!"

Orihime was drunk. But she wasnt a giggly drunk..she was a angry drunk. She walked over to Ichigo and glared at Rukia. "What are you looking at! Dont you know its rude to stare!"

"Yuzu, bring Orihime some crackers please." She nodded. "Orihime please sit down." Ichigo gestured her toward the chair.

"No! I dont want any crackers! Who ever made dinner tonight is a horrible cook! I would rather have my tongue cut out!" Orihime stomped her foot.

Karin and Isshin gasped. Yuzu stopped mid step and her bottom lip trembled. Her eyes swelled and her hands twisted her dresses bottom. Everyone was silente, but then hell broke loose.

"Your stupid Princess!" Karin stood sending her chair flying back. "You insult my sisters cooking! Guards!" Isshin placed a hand on her shoulder telling her to stop. "Dad! She-"

Isshin shook his head saying 'no'. Karin sat back down knowing her place. Yuzu wiped her eyes.

"Princess listen to Prince ichigo he-"

"Oh shut up! Why dont you go back to being a rich bitch!"

Rukia opened her mouth. But she didnt need to speak.

"Orihime get out." Ichigo said.

"Excuse me?"

"I said Get Out!" He shouted.

"You cant kick me out! Im your fiancee!" Orihime screamed. But ichigo would have none of it.

"You wont be if i take that ring back!"

"You wouldnt dare!" She cried.

Byakuya and Renji had been forgotten. They stood there watching this drama play out. What would happen next they wondered?

Ichigo grabbed Orihimes arm and reached for her hand.

SLAP

Ichigo froze and his face stung. Orihime was glaring at him and pulled her arm from his grip.

Ichigo was shocked. Where was his father? The king? Why isnt he doing anything? Ichigo looked at the table to see his father eating a peice of bread.

"Get out!" Karin screamed. "NOW!" She stood and walked over to the the princess. Ichigo was still frozen. He, the prince, had just been slapped. Infront of a beautiful lady. The people he wanted to unite with. And his family! "How dare you lay a hand on my brother!"

Rukia grabbed karin and pulled her back. "Karin. Sweetie dont."

Karin looked at Rukia then at her brother who was stuck in time.

"Give me that ring back."

"I wont!" Orihime shouted. She grabbed a cup of wine off the table and gulped in down.

Ichigo pinched the bridge of his nose. "Father! Will you do nothing but sit and eat ?"

Isshin shrugged. "How will you ever learn how to handle a woman."

Ichigo's eye twitched. He knew his father was right.

"We will be leaving now. Come Rukia." Byakuya shook his head.

"Fine leave! We dont need your alliance anyway! Is that a ring on your finger? Take it off if you have no wife!"

Ichigo could almost swear the room temperture dropped. It went from heated to ice cold.

Byakuya looked down at his wedding band.

"How dare you!" Rukia growled. She walked towards Orihime with fire eyes. "That was his wife! That was MY SISTER!" Rukias eyes swelled. "Who are you! You dont deserve to be at this table!"

"And you do?" Orihime challenged.

"ENOUGH!" Ichigo turned to orihime. He wanted to break something. But that would only make the situation worse. His hands shook with anger.

Orihime stumbled back..her head was spinning..and the yelling wasnt helping. She grabbed ahold of the table and gently lowered herself onto the chair.

All the fighting had stopped.

"We will be leaving Now." Byakuya stated and walked to the door.

Ichigo nodded. He walked them to the door.

"Im sorry. I dont know what got into her."

"About 5 bottles of wine thats what." Renji whispered.

Ichigo ignored him. "Lady Rukia, Please forgive me."

Byakuya was already out the door.

Rukia looked up at ichigo. "It is quite alright."

"No, its not. I hope this doesnt change your opinion about me."

Rukia smiled. "Ofcourse not."

"It was a pleasure meeting you." He grabbed her hand and gently kissed it. "Lady Rukia."

"The pleasure was all mine, Prince Ichigo."

Renji was mentaly killing ichigo. "Lady Rukia. Let us go." Renji guided rukia out the door and Ichigo closed it shut.

He waited a bit. Gathering his thoughts before he unleashed his rage. He then turned around.

"Princess! I want you out of my home!"

Isshin shook his head. "Shes out cold ichigo. No use in trying to wake her."

"Son, you need so rest. Go to bed and i shall clean up here."

Ichigo began walking up the steps to his room. What he needed just left his palace with her Brother-inlaw and Bodygaurd.
