*I don't own Bleach!*

Rukia

Rukia looked around awkwardly, she was being showered with riches, leaving her Zanpakuto in her room she decided to bathe with Rin alone.

Rukia froze, expecting a comment from her Zanpakuto but smiled when she realized she wasn't there. "Soo Rukia, your Byakuya-sama's sister, how wonderful!" She said with a happy smile on her face.

Envy stabbed Rukia hard, Rin was beautiful, curvy, big breasted, nice long silky hair that framed her peachy face perfectly, and her generous chocolate brown eyes that made you melt, and her sweet mature voice. More than that she was 19. A perfect age for a woman in the young, Rukia was 16, this made her feel vulnerable, not goodenough-

Rukia stopped herself, 'For who...?' She felt a rough shake and her senses were on high alert as she felt the sudden movement but relaxed when saw Rin's pouty face. "Don't be so quiet!" She said before going back to her spot. "Makes me feel like I said something horrible!" She said with a smile.

"Like I was saying...how are you and Byakuya related?" She asked, playing with the hot steaming water that surrounded their bodies, "My mother married his father, but I wasn't conceived by them. My father...ran off when I was born." I said uneasily.

Rin looked at me with pity before smiling once more, "Well, as for me, my parents died, both of them, my mom at birth and my dad by a pack of wolves. But a good friend of Byakuya convinced him to let me work, and here I am today." Rin said, trying to be gleeful.

Rukia stared at Rin with shock, 'How can a person who suffered so much smile...' "So smile...I love your smile, and i bet you Byakuya-sama does too." She said with a gentle smile of her own.

"Thank you...Rin." I said back as Rin stood up, i looked away, but I already caught sight of her naked body. When she heard something cloth like move her head snapped up to Rin, who had the white towel perfectly wrapped around her, handing another to Rukia.

Rukia gladly accepted and began to make her way back to her room, with Rin by her side, but as they entered the first thing that grabbed Rukia's attention was the picture on her wall, the one with Nii-sama's defiant face on it.

"Ehh. Rukia." RIn shut the door and Rukia felt the hair in the back of her neck stand up. "N-Nani?" Rukia said back as she turned to face Rin's weirdly smiling face, "I wanted to ask you, do you..." She leaned in closer to my ear.

"Love Byakuya-sama in a way were most sister's don't?"

Byakuya

He was patrolling his castle hallways, making sure that nothing was out of place. But he heard something peaceful, sad even as he silently made his way outside. His found a thin, frail figure, in front of the cherry Blossom tree.

He watched as Rukia sang a single note, she twirled around, the petals flying with her and the moon hitting the moment, made her seem like she was dancing in water.

She froze, "Who's there?" She asked, placing a hand on the hilt of her Zanpakuto, I made myself known by stepping out, immediately her face went red. "N-Nii-sama h-how long were you there!" She gasped and I narrowed my eyes, "Enough to know that you like to sing." He said, but she avoided his gaze, immediately bowing her head.

He felt angered, why couldn't she look him in the eyes? "Draw your sword" Immediately she flinched as her eyes were wide in fear as she placed a hand on her hilt and drew it and held it low, tears were flowing from her eyes. "N-Nii-sama...why do you ask me to fight you?" She gasped, her eyes still clouded with shock.

Indeed he had commanded her to duel with him, he commanded her to draw her sword and fight and she did, He did the same with his. Byakuya! What are you doing! This is Rukia- 'You shall obey me, do not let petty feelings get in the way.' He said back.

He waited for Rukia to make the first move, but she let out a muffled cry as he headed towards her, flash stepping little by little until his slate grey eyes met her violet ones. "Nii-sama!" She yelled as she dropped her sword and his eyes widened in shock as he froze, the blade landing only an inch above her neck line.

She was muted as she fell to her knees, but this time he did not bother to catch her as small strands of her hair fell to the ground, immediately he felt someone's aura behind him and swung but froze his blade again.

He caught sight of Rin's teary eyes. "Byakuya-sama..." She croaked as she stole a glance at Rukia's shocked figure, she made a move to head towards her, "Do not move," he commanded but she looked at him, her eyes had a ferocity that he had never seen before, her child like features gone without a trace.

He then turned to Rukia, "Why have you dropped your Zanpakuto in the midst of battle? If i had wished i could have killed you, sended my guards to clean your remains and be off as if nothing happened?" He asked as he picked up her sword.

It was pure white, even the hilt, and a long strand of the purest of white color to a beautiful silk ribbon hung at the end, he threw it to her knees, it fell only an inch from her legs, but Rukia looked up at him.

She was clearly crying before she stood up and looked at the ground, the grass being stained with her tears, "I would rather have you kill me then for me to hold a sword up to you." She simply said.

This caught him off guard and the question that followed did as well, "Why?" he asked without thinking,"Because I...I-" "Byakuya-sama, i think Rukia should get some rest now." His eyes turned deadly as he turned to the person who dared to speak without his consent.

Rin, she was daring to speak against him? after all these years of service? After he accepted her into his manor? "Rin" He said with a clear tone of anger, but showed none, she bowed her head. "I understand, but I do remember you saying i was in charge of her needs, and right now her need is sleep, excuse me Byakuya-sama." She said before racing to Rukia, helping her up and stumbling back towards the manor.

Hw watched them until the door closed, How could you do that! questioned Senbonzakura angrily, he shares the same feelings for Rukia, as he is a part of Byakuya. Byakuya said nothing but smirked.

'I was testing her, making sure she still respects me as before, being with those two morons I was afraid she had changed, but she is still the Rukia I know.' He told the Zanpakuto mentally. Senbonzakura was at ease but was still somewhat angered.

Byakuya began to head to his quarters, as he arrived he called for a servant. "Fetch Rin" He said, the servant tensed up, "Oh...Y-Yes Byakuya-sama." He observed the grief stricken servant as he bowed, his face contorted with pain as he quickly left.

TADA! Lol! Another one the next day! Accept my apology for being so late! And Sorry for Byakuya's behavior i just need some tension Review! Flames welcomed
