AN: You probably notice how this story is going pretty fast. But I decided to keep this story short (7 chapter at MOST) because I still got some other ideas and; well, I still have to finish 'will you be my alpha', 'Kill me before I die' and 'Thank the pink arrancar. And well, there's also the fact that I think that this story (with only one review and almost no alerts and stuff, isn't really THAT popular. So yeah XD. Maybe if I get enough reviews I'll add the part on the training grounds

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"How long has this been going on." The stoic captain, Byakuya, asked his now 7 months pregnant sister and her husband. They were standing in the main house in a room far away from all the other people

The two accused ones gazed at each other, both feeling slightly guilty and embarrassed. As well as a little pissed off. Byakuya had had someone shadow them, keep an eye on them because he found it to be suspicious that they went on a 'walk' on their wedding night and came back covered in Renji's reiatsu.

The teen glared at his brother-in-law, not answering the question.

"If you don't answer me I WILL get Renji here and ask him myself." The noble stated, gaze showing them that he was indeed pretty pissed off at this. But they were still not ready to answer the question.

" I want an answer now. Rukia. Tell me. How long has this been going on between Renji and Kurosaki. Did you even know about i?"

She glared at her brother. "Of course I know! I'm the one who suggested it to them!" When she realized what she'd said she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, eyes wide. That was not supposed to come out.

"you suggested it? How can you tell your husband to CHEAT on you?"

"He wasn't cheating on me. When there's no romantic love between two people you can't cheat on one another! He had feelings for Renji for like FOREVER, and Renji returned those feelings but both were too fucking chicken to tell each other and then YOU came with this stupid proposal of me marrying someone I see as a brother. I had to make a child with my brother who was still experiencing his first love. So I had him experience his first love."

The stoic noble gazed at his sister, guilt striking him softly, but he kept that well hidden.

"Have you no idea what this would do to the house honor if the elders or the other noble houses find out about this?"

"Then don't tell them. We can hide it, keep it a secret." Ichigo now tried. He knew that Byakuya was playing it dirty here because it would make Rukia feel guilty. She really did care about the honor, but she just cared about emotions more.

"I found out." The stoic noble captain stated. "So will the others."

"But you only found out because you had someone keep an eye on us!" Rukia yelled at her brother. She was slowly losing it. Her brother could be so dense sometimes. Mostly when it involved emotions. How could he not see that she was perfectly fine with all this. How could he not see the love between the two men she saw as her brothers.

But the clan head didn't respond on the accusation. Instead he just repeated his first question.

"Since when has this been going on?"

Right at that moment the door opened and the cause of Byakuya's problem walked inside. Being lurked there by Ichigo's reiatsu running wild. He just knew that something was amok. Something wasn't right and when he heard the question he immediately knew what that was.

His captain found out. Shit.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit

Okay. That was real bad but he decided to keep his cool and answer the question like nothing was wrong at all.

"Since they visited me on their wedding night." He stated, staring his captain in the eye. He knew how Rukia and Ichigo felt about being told to get married and it was about time that his stoic captain found out about that as well.

"Rukia came to me before the wedding and told me all about Ichigo's feelings, knowing all too well how I felt about him, and proposed that I became his 'mistress'. She also asked me to help out with the wedding night because we both knew that it would be about the only thing Ichigo didn't really have the courage for. We all know how focused he is on emotions and what he thinks is right or wrong . So we both came to the conclusion that it would be better for him as well to involve me. We couldn't let him have his first time without his love present."

The captain glared at his lieutenant, but said man immediately went on with his explanation while going to stand in between Ichigo and Rukia, grabbing their hands.

"I never entered either of them on their wedding night. I was only there to make sure everything went well, that Ichi didn't freak out about having to make love to Rukia who he sees as a sister."

The room was silent for a while. Not just silent, but really pressing silent. He could see Byakuya fighting his emotions behind his eyes. And he could also see that the stoic man wasn't ready to let emotions lead him just yet.

"Isn't there a way that this can go on without hurting the house honor?" Ruka asked after a while, looking at the floor. "Because I also have a love interest who we know returns my feelings. Right now he's just too scared to act on them." She lifted her gaze and stared into her brother's eyes. "and It's not like there aren't members in our family who have mistresses."

"yes. But we are the main house! We are more strictly bound to the rules than them."

"then what do you say about the council?" Rukia asked, hating that one particular sentence her brother just said. "I know some of them go to brothels and have multiple lovers. Would they really be so hypocrite as to forbid us to have lovers! It's not like we'd be making children out of the wedlock!"

That startled Byakuya. He, of course, knew about the council and their relations, but he didn't know that Rukia knew. He also knew she was right. It would indeed be incredibly hypocrite as to forbid them what they themselves were doing. But he also knew they would be that hypocrite.

"I fear there is nothing we can do Rukia. Renji and Ichigo will have to cancel their relationship and you will not start yours with your love interest."

"I refuse to do that." Renji stated. "I will not cancel my relationship with Ichi just because of a bunch of hypocrites."

The noble stared at his fukutaichou. "you WILL do as I say Abarai-fukutaichou. You will not bring any dishonor to my family."

"And that won't happen if you don't tell them or we at least get a chance to talk to them about it ourselves because you obviously don't understand what it's like to be forced into a marriage."

"And you do?"

The redhead shook his head. "But I've seen it happen before and I've seen it happen to my best friend and my sister so I've heard enough about it to know at least a little."

Byakuya huffed. His lieutenant had no idea what he was talking about.

"Nii-sama… Please. He's done so much for all of us. At least let him be happy." She looked up at him with pleading eyes. "He at least deserves that doesn't he. He even left his family behind to get married to me because I asked him to. To help our family honor." She knew she was trying to work on his feelings of guilt, and dear god, did she hope it was working.

And apparently it was working because the man sighed and nodded, turning to Ichigo. "Fine. I'll give you until the heir is born. If they haven't found out by then we will talk again. But if they even have the slightest suspicion about the both of you I want you to immediately cancel your relationship with my fukutaichou and keep your distance from each other.

"So if we can keep this hidden for 2 more months you'll think about letting us discuss this with the council."

"I haven't said that."

"But you will?"

The man grumbled his positive response before taking his leave, leaving the three younger ones to discuss what they were going to do.
