"Byakuya Kuchiki," the Sony executive answered his phone.

"Byakuya!" He heard the sound of one of the opposing companies' voice.

"Hello Souske…" He greeted, chewing on the inside of his lip.

"I have a proposition for you…" Byakuya smiled slightly he wondered if maybe… this was going where he wanted it to go…

"What's that?" Byakuya looked a piece of paper uninterestedly, "I'm a very busy man."

"Yeah…and so am I, so how about we be busy together?" Aizen asked and Byakuya grinned slightly.

"I'd have to think about that and have a lawyer work it out… you want to call a meeting about it? I'll talk to my boss."

"But there's a catch, in order to cement the bonds between our two companies… I believe there needs to be a marriage…" Byakuya's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Really… yes… perhaps…" Byakuya thought about this, if Rukia married Aizen… he would never have to worry about her health or her well being. She would be treated magnificently, with enough money to last her a lifetime… and she would have a good blooded husband.

"So do I hear wedding bells?" Aizen grinned into the phone and Byakuya was silent.

"I suppose I would have to speak with her… but… I'm sure she'll agree…" At least he wouldn't have to worry about her being around that dumb ass detective.

"Good… good…" Aizen smiled over at Gin who stared at him with amazement, the smooth talking corporation owner had just made a deal with Byakuya Kuchiki for his sister.

&&&

The blonde relaxed on his sofa, a yawn taking over him as tears filled his eyes slightly then disappeared. He stretched out again, like a cat stretching luxuriously on a hot day. His phone rang and he looked at it. "hhmmm… Shall I answer it?" He asked himself curiously. "Naaaahh…" He rolled over and curled his arm under his head.

"KISUKE URAHARA ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE!" Byakuya Kuchiki's voice thundered over the answering machine speaker. Kisuke jumped and grabbed the phone.

"Kisuke here, how can I help you?"

"Surprised that I called?" He asked

"If I would have woken up this morning with my head sewn to the floor I wouldn't have been more surprised than I am right now…" Urahara quipped and he heard a scoff from the other line.

"I have a job for you…" Kisuke nodded slightly.

"Whaaaat? Does it have anything to do with me escorting your beautiful sister to her new husband's house?" Urahara grinned.

"How do you…"

"I am Kisuke Urahara! I know everything…"

"How's that?"

"I'm an evil genius…"

"That's a load of bull shit if I've ever heard one…" A dark chuckle came over the line.

"Thank you! Anyways… sure I'll do it… am I a part of the deal?" Urahara blinked over at the beautiful woman that had just walked down the stairs.

"Urahara stop drooling over Shihounen and talk to me…" Kisuke whimpered but grinned as he received a kiss from her.

"Yeah…" He chuckled.

"I want you to go with her as something of an escort for a while… and you'll be our eye on Aizen to make sure he doesn't pull any dirty tricks… please be good…"

"Me? I'm always good!" Urahara grinned into the phone.

"Urahara…" he warned and Kisuke laughed.

"Alright Mr. High and Mighty… don't get your panties in a bundle," he said as he brushed his teeth.

"Are you brushing your teeth on the phone?" Byakuya sounded disgruntled.

"Yes… yes I am… how perceptive of you…" Urahara chuckled.

"You need to go to DC and get her… she should be in the hospital there… I don't remember which room the man she's staying with is in… but you should be able to find her easily."

"Alrighty! One fixer upper right away!"

"Urahara… charge everything to the company… don't even think of using your own money and demanding payment…"

"Alright… now stop giving me commands… I'll go get your sister…" He hung up the phone as he walked into the kitchen.

"What was that all about?" Yoruichi blinked over at him and he grinned.

"I get to go get Miss Kuchiki…" He smiled over his cup of coffee.

Ichigo was now sitting up in bed, he had recovered greatly in the past few weeks, and he had been home for several of them.

"Calm down!" She told him and he chuckled, he had been teasing her lately over he being so slow, as he was still unable to walk, much less move his legs so she had to help him everywhere.

"I can't get myself up yet…" He complained from the bed as she pulled his good arm over her shoulder and pulled him into the wheelchair. He was happy that she was so willing to take care of him but he felt horrible for making her take care of him… he was happy though that she was still too shy to see him undressed which was another thing he had to bee thankful for… though it was extremely difficult to dress himself he succeeded day after day… of course… he wouldn't have had her help him anyways…

"I know I know… stop being such a big baby," she laughed and wheeled him out of the room into the kitchen.

"Woo! I love not having to walk everywhere! I can get fat and no one's gonna care!" He laughed as she wheeled him over to the table.

"You're horrible…" She told him and he chuckled. A knock came at the door and she walked over, opening the front door to the apartment. She gasped and Urahara smiled.

"Hello beautiful…" He grinned and she jumped into his arms.

"KISUKE!" She laughed as he swung her around.

"So is this everyone favorite cripple?" Kisuke walked in as Ichigo wheeled himself over with a contemplating look. He couldn't figure out who this guy was.

"Yeah… most people call me Ichigo… or Kurosaki depending…" He offered his hand as he looked over at Rukia.

"Good! My name's Kisuke Urahara… I'm here to take your nurse away from you…" He shook Ichigo's hand. Ichigo was somewhat surprised at the powerful grip the man had.

"You're what?" Rukia looked over at him.

"Why don't you make me a cup of tea before I tell you anything…" Kisuke grinned and she walked off, Ichigo's amber eyes were fixated on him and Kisuke continued smiling under the detective's usually intimidating glare.

&&&

"So… how is your brilliant plan going?" Gin walked in with a piece of chocolate in hand. Aizen was on the phone as Ichimaru walked in and he waved at him to shut the door.

"Fine… Fine… that'll work… thank you." He hung up. "Great… the meeting went well this morning and the wedding should be in six months…" He grinned and Gin waved his hand in front of his own face.

"I smell something fishy."

"Yeah… in order to keep an eye on me he's sending Kisuke Urahara with her… but he should be gone after a year."

"That's good… gives you some time to cover your trail… are you still going to knock the other off?" Gin grinned at him and Aizen folded his arms.

"Of course I'm going to… I can't have him in my way… he's too much of a distraction for my future wife…" His grin suddenly became malicious. "I'm going to get quite a few things out of this aren't I?"

"I guess so… maybe you should be more careful…" Gin lifted an eyebrow, setting his feet up on Aizen's desk.

"Yeah… I know what you mean… I'm going to take a break for a while… lull them all into a continuous sense of security."

"Yeah… then WHAM… right?" Gin snapped his fingers and Aizen nodded.

"But until then… I'm going to have my wife… I'm going to be married…" He grinned.

"Yeah! You're going to be the worst husband a woman could have!" Gin received a pen in the face for his comment.

"Keep your mouth shut, I have to be nice to her for a while so her brother doesn't get suspicious…" He folded his arms across his chest.

&&&

I am an arms dealer

Fitting you with weapons in the form of words

And don't really care which side wins

As long as the room keeps singing

That's just the business I'm in

Kisuke Urahara, the famous dealer in anything out of the ordinary. Rukia eyed him as he sat across from Ichigo, talking about the latest cases. He knew everything there was to know about anything. She knew it too, he had home schooled her when she was a little girl. There wasn't anything the man didn't know how to do… and boy was he in the business. He was wanted by every company and every gang in the world, but he remained loyal to one family and one family alone, the Kuchikis, they had picked him when he was a child and raised him as one of their own children, even though at that they still didn't have very much. It was he and Byakuya who worked their ways up.

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

I'm not a shoulder to cry on

But, I digress

"So what are you saying? That you're taking her from me?" Ichigo folded his arms as Rukia sat down a cup of tea before them both. Ichigo's arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back towards him possessively.

"Yes… That's exactly what I'm telling you." He grinned as he took a sip from the tea. "Ah… wonderful… you will make a perfect wife…"

"Wife? You don't mean…" Her eyes bored into his and he shrugged.

"Look I'm just here on orders from your brother… he told me to come and bring you back to New York for your wedding…" He waved at her off handedly.

"Who am I marrying?" Her eyes were wide with anger and Ichigo let go of her. "Kisuke! WHO AM I MARRYING?"

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate

"I honestly don't know… Byakuya didn't tell me that much honey," Kisuke sounded apoplectic which surprised her.

"What the hell do you mean you don't know?" She folded her arms and leaned back against Ichigo's arm and he smiled lightly.

"I mean what I said… I'm telling you that Byakuya didn't tell me who you're marrying sweetie…" He sipped the tea. "Now listen… I'm not happy with him either but that doesn't mean you need to go off your rocket…" He watched as her physique changed and suddenly she went from the usually composed and together Rukia to the 'I'm so angry that you're going to die by my hands' Rukia.

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate

"BYAKUYA!" The heard her shout from the other room and Kisuke smiled into his mug.

"You set this up didn't you?" Ichigo folded his arms.

"No… not really… Byakuya set it in motion and it's my job to do what he tells me to do…"

"So you're a brainless grunt?" Ichigo lifted an eyebrow.

"Not so much… I'm something like a hit man, a detective, an arms dealer, a transporter, a body guard, and a scholar all rolled into one…" he smiled.

"So you're a jack of all trades that works for Sony…" Ichigo lifted an eyebrow, it was men like this that the police department had trouble catching.

"Yeah… something like that…" He grinned.

I wrote the gospel on giving up

(You look pretty sinking)

But the real bombshells have already sunk

(Prima-donnas of the gutter)

At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep

Crashing not like hips or cars,

No, more like parties

"How could you do this to me?" She asked into her cell phone and her brother went silent.

"Rukia it's for your own good." He replied.

"FOR MY OWN GOOD? WHAT GOOD IS THAT GOING TO DO ME?" She screamed into the phone.

"Listen, Aizen can make your life brilliant! You can live in luxury for the rest of your life…" He told her and she leaned back against the wall…

"I don't want to live in luxury…" she felt tears well up in her eyes. 'I want to live with Ichigo… the middle class detective with a street class attitude…' the man that she knew she was falling for.

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

Bandwagon's full

Please, catch another

Aizen folded his arms across his chest and looked out the window of his office, everything was going well… he couldn't believe how well things were going, the only hitch in his plan was Urahara… if he was around he couldn't do what he wanted… so he reached over and picked up the phone as it rang.

"Take him down…" He said into the receiver and heard a laugh from the other end. "But wait until after the wedding, he'll suspect something anytime before that." And he heard a yes from the other line.

Yes… everything was going as planned…

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate

"Fine… I'll do it Byakuya…" She closed her eyes as he convinced her. But he couldn't convince her heart. He couldn't convince her heart worth a damn.

"Thank you honey, I'm only thinking about your safety and your health in the future, you have a much better future with Aizen than with that detective…" Those words bit her hard in the heart, she should be happy about this… she wouldn't be shot at anymore…

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate

Ichigo laughed softly under his breath. "And I told him that I wouldn't have been more surprised if I had woken up with my head sewn to the floor!" He laughed and Ichigo shook his head.

"You are one weird guy… so do you have a wife?" He lifted his eyebrow.

"No… I have a… friend with benefits…" He smiled slightly.

"Ooh… a friend with benefits…" Ichigo lifted his eyebrows up completely.

"Yeah… something like that."

"I never thought a jack of all trades had a fuck buddy…" Ichigo chuckled.

"I am a jack of all trades," Kisuke produced an emphasis with his hand and Ichigo laughed again. He wasn't kidding.

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love

And the girls who's lips couldn't move fast enough

Sing, until your lungs give out

Byakuya hung up the phone and leaned back, he was doing what was best for her wasn't he? He looked at the picture of himself and his sister and traced a finger down the glass lovingly. "I just want you to be comfortable… with him you won't even have to work anymore…" Byakuya smiled lightly… he didn't trust Aizen as far as he could throw him… but he knew he couldn't do anything with Kisuke around.

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Now you)

This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Wear out the groove)

This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Sing out loud)

This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race

(Oh, oh)

This ain't a Scene, it's a god damn arms race

"Ichigo…" He heard a sad voice from behind him and he swung around disappearing with his wheelchair into the other room and Kisuke grinned evilly, for some reason it delighted him the pain that this detective was going through… he never was one for being evil but… for some reason he knew it would only make him stronger… and that was always a good thing. To be honest he wanted Ichigo to win her back… he wanted to see an action and adventure film play out right before his eyes.

"Aah… young love…" He smiled, he knew that the lies he was telling for his boss were good lies… and boy were they tangled up now.

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate

"I have to do what he says Ichigo!" She looked at him and he folded his hands in his lap.

"I don't want you to go like this…" He whispered to her and she nodded, putting her hand on the side of his face.

"I don't want to go like this… there's so much left unsaid between us…" her blue eyes were deep and beautiful and he wanted to lock this into his mind for the rest of his life.

I'm a leading man

And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate

"Thanks for the memories…" He whispered as their lips met once more in a beautifully searing kiss that had her knees buckling under her, to think that he could make her feel this way… even with the way he was. "Thanks for the help…" His lips met hers again and they both soon found themselves crying as their lips met again and again. They breathed each other's breath like oxygen in the millimeters between their lips between each kiss. They were both intoxicated by the other's presence.

"Good bye…" She whispered as she stood outside the apartment building next to Urahara. Her took her elbow gently and their eyes locked together from the second story window where he sat, looking out at her. 'I love you…' She thought as Urahara pulled her towards the car with a grin.

"Don't worry… you're life will be better when you're with Aizen…"

And the lies I weave are oh-so intricate

&&&

She walked slowly down the aisle, the huge wedding around her silent. Her brother held onto her arm tightly and she touched her heart slightly as she felt it break slowly but surely as they walked down the aisle.

I miss you miss you

"I want you to keep this…" He put a chain around her neck, it was a beautiful silver chain with a silver ring set with diamonds on it. "Wear it where ever you go and think about me… whenever you touch it…" His fingers brushed her skin.

"Ichigo… I…" His fingers brushed her lips.

"Hush… everything will be alright… just don't forget me… because some day I'm going to come charging back into your life… because I love you…" Her tears cascaded down her face as she dove into him, his arms wrapping around her tightly. "I love you so much…" He kissed the top of her head as he cried silently with her.

Hello there the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

She walked past her friends and what was left of their family, past Kisuke and Toshiro and Uryu, past Kazumi and Yoruichi… past her life… she was walking away from her life… and everything that her life meant to her… she was leaving everything behind her.

Where you can always find me

And we'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never end

"I promise I'll come back to you… I'll die before I let this be the end of us…" He whispered into her hair, his tears dripped down his face and onto her hair as she lifted her head up, their lips meeting again for another bittersweet kiss. His hands gripped her head as he leaned forward, never wanting the kiss to end.

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders

catching things and eating their insides

The months passed quickly after that, she was surrounded by men and women she didn't know, she was interviewed about her wedding, she made plans about the wedding… she had to work on everything. She hated her husband, she had already decided this, she associated him with the man who had raped her… with the men that were on the other side of the spectrum from Ichigo. But Ichigo was always in her thoughts, she couldn't get him away from her… she wanted to make her brother happy, but breaking her own heart was what it took to please him… the man who had made her life so happy by working so hard and taking care of her.

Like indecision to call you

And hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

stop this pain tonight

The wedding date had come quickly, so quickly that she couldn't believe it… it was as though… her life had just flashed by her while she stood still and now she was wishing she would have just stayed with Ichigo… he would have protected her from her own brother… hell… he would follow her into a guillotine if he thought she was in danger.

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

I miss you miss you

Ichigo sat on the pew, his hands folded in his lap, his black suit was neat and tailored, his trusty cane in his hand. It had taken him nearly 6 months to regain his ability to walk and had taken him three more months to get back up to where he had once been… and he was still fairly weak. The rest of his wounds had healed completely, except for one… and as his eyes followed the angel in white the wound became larger.

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

I miss you miss you

'Ichigo…' She turned her head to the side and saw him, that beautiful mess of orange hair and tanned skin. His ocher eyes were trained on her and she smiled, a single tear running down her face.

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

I miss you miss you

Ichigo looked away, maybe… her brother was right… she would be better off with this Aizen fellow… but that wasn't going to stop him now… his eyes fell upon the man that was marrying the love of his life… there was no way this man was going to stop him from getting her back.

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

I miss you miss you

As they reached the altar Byakuya lifted Rukia's veil, kissing her lightly. "Thank you for doing this."

"And who gives away this woman to marriage?" The preist asked.

"I do, Byakuya Kuchiki, her brother…" He felt tears prick at the back of his eyes. His parents would have thought she was beautiful. He almost didn't let go of her, and for a second he thought about telling her to go to him… to go to the man he hated… just to keep her from crying.

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

I miss you miss you

"Thank you… brother…" She told him through choked tears… her eyes remained on Ichigo the entire service, she refused to look at her future husband, she stare at Ichigo and when she said I do… she was looking at him.

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

I miss you miss you
