*I don't own Bleach*

Byakuya

I followed Rukia's gaze, the limo came to a stop but Rukia was the first to react. "Rukia!" I called out. But she raced forwards, it seems as if she didn't hear me. 'Rukia no!' He thought as he raced after her. The man smirked, he watched as the one named 'Renji' was on the floor bleeding while the moron Ichigo was pinned against the wall. 'Why does she care about them so much..?' He wondered.

"Kurosaki..Die!" He yelled thrusting the knife forward. Rukia's eyes clouded before she flash stepped in front of Ichigo. 'No!' I thought; fear stabbing my heart, flash stepping even faster I placed myself in front of Rukia.

"NO!" She screamed, but I already unsheathed Senbonzakura our blades met, Rukia gasped from behind me. I pushed the man back onto the ground, making sure I broke his wrist. He yelled in response as the dagger fell away from him.

"You bastard!" He shrieked. But I turned towards Rukia. "Did he hurt you?" I asked and Rukia's eyes widened. "Byakuya!" She shrieked and I heard a bang, but I was too late. Turning around I grunted in pain as the bullet entered my chest.

Blood left his body as his eyes widened. 'How could such a puny thing get past me...?'

Rukia

My body lost all feeling in it. I watched as Byakuya stumbled backwards. "Get to the car Rukia." He said. Then I stared at him, "Are you ok?" I croaked and he looked at me, before slightly nodding his head. But he grunted and his expression was pained, the man laughed, revealing his Zanpakuto. "What's wrong?" He snickered and I growled. "Baka!" I yelled before unsheathing Sode no Shirayuki,

"Some no Mai." I said, stepping close to him, he swiped, "Tsuki Shiro!" I said a white circle appeared beneath us. His sword penetrated my shoulder a little but I stood still as he was consumed in ice, the ice shattered and I looked to my shoulder and found a light scratch.

"Oi Byakuya!" I turned and watched as Ichigo was holding Byakuya up, one hand on his stomach pushing him back. I quickly rushed to him. "Byakuya!" I yelled his eyes opened and he looked spitefully at Ichigo.

"Release me moron." He said placing a hand on the wall, his eyes expressed pain but his face was emotionless. "I told you to go to the car..." He said. HIs face was growing pale. Ichigo looked at us weirdly. "No! I can't leave you!" I yelled running towards him and embracing him.

Watching her as she embraced Byakuya; the brother she said to fear; like she loved him was strange. Even more now that she called him by his name and not 'Nii-sama.' Then did I saw something gleam, I looked on her finger and a ring was on her hand, the one on her ring finger...

I watched as the ambulance took him away. Tears kept flowing down my cheeks.. "B-Byakuya..." I cried. His eyes never left mine. "Rukia." He said before the door closed. They drove away and I sank onto my knees.

'It's all my fault...if only I had been paying attention...' I thought in horror as I sobbed. "You married the fuckin' bastard didn't you?" I froze, 'I forgot Ichigo was there...' I looked at him, his bangs shielded his eyes from me. "Is that why you came here? To tell me you married your own Step-brother?" He said and I flinched. Bowing my head I nodded. He slapped me, and I said nothing except grasp my cheek and stared at him.

"How could you Rukia! Didn't you know how I felt for you! Didn't you ever fuckin' decide maybe I wanted to marry you!" He growled. I felt my eyes water, but then he spit blood on the floor to the side, then left without saying a word.

His fingers...cold...unmoving still entwined in my hands, I sat by his bed. Making sure he was near me. A knock was at the door. "Come in." I said and Rin entered. I smiled weakly. "I-I haven't seen you in a long time..." I said before looking back at Byakuya.

Rukia touched a cloth to my cheek and I winced. "Who did this to you?" She asked and I bowed my head. "I went to see Ichigo...I told him- and in the end he said it was sick-" "Rukia..." Rin began but I felt tears stream my cheeks and I trembled. "Even after I was about to die for him...even when Byakuya took a bullet for him..."

I looked up at her, "He still slapped me! Calling Byakuya a bastard and left!" I sobbed. then I felt a hand touch my cheek. Rin and I turned to Byakuya, his eyes were troubled as he wiped a tear from my cheek.

"Do not cry Rukia." He said. Rin bowed and took her leave, the door closed and he smiled gently, I felt a tear slip down and it landed on his cheek. I laughed weakly, and then he brought me to him. Wrapping the blankets around me, "Rukia...I will kill him." He said and I wrapped my arms around his chest, he winced and I removed my hands from him and turned so that my back was facing. him.

He made me face him and my violet eyes faced his grey ones. "I love you Rukia, never forget that..." He said before his lips crashed onto mine. I felt goosebumps emerge on my skin and I let myself relax in his grasp before kissing him back.

Sorry I made this short, but I've been working on another story and i forgot all about this :'( Well atleast I turned in a chapter right? SOrry for making Ichigo such a bitch, and Rukia a little spinless, but hey, I tried :) Review!
