Twisted Love
Rukia dedicated herself to training Illumi, aiming to make him worthy of the prestigious Kuchiki name. She aimed to mold him into an elite assassin, the best of the best in their field. Nevertheless, she understood that Byakuya continued to withhold his endorsement of their son as the future clan leader, despite Illumi's considerable power.
Before long, Rukia found herself pregnant once more. Determined to ensure her next child possessed even greater strength, she intensified her own training efforts. When Milluki was born, she couldn't help but sense Byakuya's lingering disappointment, even though he 'loved' their sons.
Milluki, despite enduring rigorous training to meet Byakuya's exacting standards, still fell short of his father's high expectations.
Rukia grew increasingly desperate, yearning to bear a child who would unquestionably become the next leader of the Kuchiki clan. She became pregnant again, this time with the firm conviction that their third child would fulfill that role.
Byakuya sensed Rukia's happiness as she tenderly touched her womb. That night, he held his wife tightly, realizing how his disappointment in their sons had been affecting her. Although he would never openly confess the depth of his love for her and their children, he understood the emotional turmoil that came with their roles as heartless assassins.
