*I don't own Bleach*

Rukia

I awoke to the birds singing, looking around I noticed I wasn't in my bedroom. I immediately sat up, realizing I had a white kimono and sighed, but looking around I immediately shivered as the events from the other day replayed in her mind.

She looked to the side, expecting her brother but saw no one. She frowned as she pushed herself out of bed and stopped trying to sense someone's spiritual pressure. Immediately she found her brother's but gasped as another with a greater pressure than her brother was close by...

Her eyes widened, noticing it was one of the elders of the clan, she bit back the gasp and quickly concealed her spiritual pressure. "-Byakuya...have you found a suitor yet?" The voices were so close...she could almost hear their breathing.

'Please kami-sama...' She prayed as the handle began to move, then another one flooded her senses, someone flashed stepped behind her and wrapped an arm around her neck and another around her waist.

Immediately Byakuya raced into the room and stopped as his gaze turned murderous, the elder as well. She recognized this warm embrace, "Ichigo..." She murmured, "Don't worry Byakuya I brought her here, we were just about to leave." He said.

She watched as the elder's eyes grew furious, Byakuya's looked relieved. But he unsheathed Senbonzakura, "Kurosaki ichigo, release Rukia at once!" He bellowed, and the elder did as well but then Ichigo brought me closer to him, then a dagger pressed against my neck.

"Rukia!" immediately Rin entered, she gasped in horror as Byakuya sheathed Senbonzakura. "Kurosaki Ichigo..." He said in anger, before fash stepping behind him, quickly Ichigo responded, flash stepping outside and then away from the manor.

"Now." he huffed as he looked behind him and smirked, "Why the hell were you in your brother's room?" He asked and I blushed. "Um, well I-" but he chuckled, "But good thing I got you back." He said as he brought my face closer to his.

"So now i can win you back from Byakuya." He said and I felt my stomach flip, 'Byakuya...what are you doing now?'

Byakuya

As soon as I began walking to my room, one of the elders was with me, I immediately sensed Rukia' aura and then it disappeared. "So have you found a suitor yet?" He asked. But before I could answer, immediately I sensed sensed someone in my room. 'Rukia! ' I flung the door open and saw Rukia being held by Ichigo.

The elder gave me a suspicious gaze, "Ichigo..." I heard her say before Ichigo smirked at me, "Don't worry Byakuya... I brought her here, we were just about to leave." He said. Immediately my anger rose inside me. But was quickly replaced with relief, as the elder glared at ichigo. "Kurosaki Rukia realese Rukia at once!" I stated but his grip on Rukia tightened, Bringing Rukia closer to him...

Rukia belongs to me and no other!

The elder unsheathed his Zanpakuto, but he held a dagger close to Rukia's neck. Rin came in and I flash stepped behind him, but he reacted swiftly fash stepping away and I was about to follow when the elder grasped my shoulder. "She can handle herself, now for serious matters." He said and I immediately stared at where Rukia disappeared from. "If you don't find a suitor you must marry someone else..." He said and my eyes went wide staring at him.

"Whom?' I said calmly even though my instincts yelled for me to pronounce my love to Rukia. "I sadly agreed to Rukia," He said. I frowned, "Why was I not consulted?" I said, and sighed, "We couldn't wait any longer" He said before walking away, "We shall announce your wedding in three days..." He said before flash stepping away.

I looked down, 'How can I tell her?' But she already loves you...' 'I know, but I don't know if she'll be willing to.' Byakuya answered before flash stepping away from the manor and towards the faint trail of Rukia.

Rukia

We were sitting at StarBucks. I took a sip of my hot chocolate and Ichigo did the same, "Rukia, are you ok?" He asked and I nodded. "Ichigo. How are you...and Renji?" I said as I looked at the olive green table.

He laid back in his chair, "Well, i got promoted to another high class and so did Renji, but the dumbass keeps failing-"

"So are you Ichigo!" I turned and smiled at my red-headed friend. "Renji!" I said in astonishment and he rubbed my head with his palm. I frowned. "Didn't expect to see you soon Rukia!" He said with a smirk before turning to Ichigo.

"Now what were you saying about me failing?" He said as he gave Ichigo a scary smile. "Why the hell are you talking behind my back!" Renji yelled and I sighed, zoning out their yelling. 'Byakuya are you coming for me soon...?' She thought as the door opened, she looked at the door and her eyes widened at the god.

Byakuya...

Immediately Ichigo placed himself in front of me. Renji did the same unsheathing their Zanpakuto's. I watched as Byakuya's eyes went to me, his eyes growing soft, unconsciously I stood up and pushed my way through so that I was standing in front of Byakuya.

My lip trembled as I turned to Ichigo and Renji and grabbed the hilt of my sword. Ichigo and Renji gasped in horror, "Rukia!" Ichigo said in the utter shock. "I can't let you hurt Byakuya." I said letting my gazed hardened.

"Rukia...I thought you trusted us! We've been there for you! And this bastard hasn't! Yet look who you stand beside!" He yelled, each word stabbed me like a blade would. Rukia...choose... Sode no Shirayuki said and I nodded. "It's hard, knowing everything that you both have done for me...and even now i feel like i'm being torn." I said.

Ichigo and Renji's gaze soften, I felt Byakuya's scent begin to intoxicate me, "But I stand beside Byakuya-sama since he and I have something you two can never give me, please if you truly love me let me be." I said. before bowing my head "Arigatou for everything..." I said sheathing my sword, turning to Byakuya his slate grey eyes stared lovingly at me. "let's go." I said and he did, sheathing his sword and leaving the Starbucks.

Ichigo came out and grasped my wrist pulling me towards him, But Byakuya was quickly react, having striking Ichigo and grasping me, his arm slithering around my waist and his eyes were a deep grey in anger.

But I was shocked, not of what Ichigo did...
