Chapter 1
Rangiku watched as Rukia paced the floor. A wide variety of emotions crossed the fretting girl's face ranged from shock, rage, fear, and finally determination. Inwardly, Rukia knew this day would eventually come, but why did Byakuya have to steal her joy today? She was supposed to go see her friends in the World of the Living, but Rukia was not fit for company. How could she explain to them that she had to marriage a man to satisfy the nobles? Her friends would be up in arms, especially Ichigo. Rukia smiled as she thought about him rushing into Kuchiki Manor as he called Byakuya out for ill treatment of her. Maybe even Renji or Uryuu would object, but she doubted that they would voice their opinion.
With a deep breath, she steeled herself for whatever the matchmaker and Rangiku threw at here, but she didn't have to like it. On her honor as a Kuchiki, Rukia would try to make this match succeed even her choices were not on the list.
Rukia had all the suspense she could take. She had to know who was going to be her first date. "Who did you choose for my first suitor, Rangiku?"
"It'll be a surprise for you, but let's just say he's a hottie with a sweet soul!" Said she-demon said from the window seat. Her grin was bigger than a Cheshire cat.
"You chose him right?" Rukia asked suspiciously. At least Rangiku had great taste in men finding attractive men. It could definitely be worse like an old age noble…
"Of course, I did! What kind of friend am I if you have a horrible first date experience?" She said as she pulled Rukia into a hug nearly suffocating her with her ample chest.
"Rangiku… I… can't … breath!"
"Oh, sorry Rukia! I'm just so excited! This matchmaking news has made my century!" Rangiku said as she jumped up and clapped her hands together.
A new spiritual pressure enveloped the ladies, and it wasn't friendly by far. "Masumoto!" The handsome captain of squad ten yelled. "This is where you have been hiding all day?"
"But Captain!" Rangiku plead with her big blue eyes. She was shortly side tracked as she watched Hitsugaya walk right next to Rukia and stopped. Ohhh! The captain would be perfect for little Kuchiki. They would make the loveliest couple with the most beautiful zanpuktos! And the little babies! Ah! He must be added to the list!
"Why in the world are you bothering Lieutenant Kuchiki here? You should be pack at our division doing your two days worth of division paperwork setting on your desk! I am tired of picking up your slack!"
"I'm sorry captain, but I am helping the Kuchiki Clan. If you need me please talk to Captain Kuchiki! I'm sure he'll be more than happy to lend you Renji!" Rangiku said with a smile. She was trying to figure out of how to get out of paperwork and a louder scolding. Thankfully, Rukia was present so Hitsugaya curbed some of his anger.
"Masumoto! What the…" A flustered Hitsugaya yelled at his lieutenant right before she flash stepped next to Rukia and scooped her up. The next thing Hitsugaya knew, he was standing in Rukia's room alone as Rangiku yelled something about shopping, dates, and thanks for completing her paperwork. A very loud and violent treat that could be heard from miles away followed her steps as the short, handsome captain went in search of his next victim – Byakuya Kuchiki.
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy the story! If you want to send me some suggestions about some dates I will try to incorporate some of them into the story!
