Byakuya practiced his swordsmanship in the hottest part of the ngày as he had since the time he was được trao his first sword. It was the only time he allowed any emotions to pass upon his face without checking them at the door. In this case the practice form wore a spiked trái cam, màu da cam mop of hair. Ichigo-Ichigo! No! No! No! The form exploded into a flurry of old clothes and straw. He could feel Rukia slipping away with every moment she was with that disrespectful trái cam, màu da cam haired freak of a substitute soul reaper. He yelled his frustration, it had been bad enough to have been beaten not once but twice bởi a mere living boy. Bad enough that the soul society-him had been so wrong in laying the blame on Rukia. Bad enough that it had taken a boy and his rag-tag group of Những người bạn not only to defeat them but find the truth of the matter. He swiped the air and nearly cut his zanpakuto' s ghost. "The boy cares for her, he does not control her. Have bạn forgotten he wanted her to stay here, with you. She only went back when she was ordered. bạn could have gone hoặc sent Renji, but bạn did not put either forward. bạn are no coward. What stopped you?" Byakuya's naked shoulder's twitched. " I do not see why that should matter to you. She was the most likely choice. " The form's lips twitched into a smile then broadened. " bạn don't like the living. A soul reaper-Captain that doesn't like the living. I suppose they are uncouth, uncivilized, ungrateful creatures that should be left to the will of the hollows. Marvelous, problem solved." He finished folding his arms. "Go away leave me to my exercise's. " His zanpakuto sighed heavily and with a shake of his head disappeared in a non-existent breeze. Byakuya struck his sword into the ground in disgust when an uncomfortable idea came to him. He grit his teeth, but the alternative was worse. Rukia was still a member of his house. With a nod he went to wash up and calm his mind. Renji knelt to his captain waiting for him to release him from his kneel. "Rise Renji." The familiarity caught the Lt. off guard. "Rise my Lt. I have good news for you." Renji rose and was offered a cup of...of his captain's yêu thích tea. One that could not find on this side. Rukia had brought a sample pack trang chủ on one of her visits to the living realm,for her brother to try. She'd had to substitute his usual trà with one she thought he'd enjoy. Risky but it had worked. Renji blinked at the cup and then at the captain and saw his small smile. Which made his stomach tighten in uneasiness. "Sir this is a great kindness, but this is unlike you." With that he set down his tea. Byakuya let go of his false smile and nodded. Yes,he could live with Renji as his brother-in-law. Setting down his own cup, he nodded. " I am sorry for making bạn feel uncomfortable, it was not my intention. I asked bạn here to get your agreement on the marriage proposal to Rukia. I have known for quite some time how bạn have felt about Rukia. I am in full agreement of your intentions." Renji for a moment took in all the words as if he was drowning and then grew angry. " How can you?You know we can ill afford even one sword out of the fight." Byakuya narrowed his eyes. He could see threw his Lt.'s strategy. He replied calmly. " My house must survive. bạn are my Lt. I trust bạn the most outside of my house hold. I am entrusting the survival of my family to you." Renji almost believed him, he was sounding so sincere. But Rukia? "Does Rukia agree to all this?" The captain frowned. "This is a house matter. What I say she will obey." Renji nearly drew his sword. "No. Never. How can bạn even think of doing that to her? After your own wife. How could bạn make her marry someone she doesn't love." Byakuya raised an eye brow. "How do bạn know she doesn't tình yêu you? Have bạn asked her? Have bạn ever told her how bạn felt?" Renji stiffened. "You know I haven't. I also know that it doesn't take an idiot to see how Rukia and Ichigo feel about each other." He snickered sadly. "Yeah, I know he's as thick headed as any cây thân cây and damn near as blind as a bat with pressures. But his loyalty is steadfast beyond all reason, especially in the darkest of times. Besides tiếp theo to Rukia he's my best friend. No, If bạn want someone to protect your house bạn could do no better then Ichigo." The captain's eyes blazed with a ngọn lửa, chữa cháy only reserved for the worst of enemies. " Rukia will marry bạn hoặc none." Renji narrowed his eyes and witnessed a rare event. Byakuya Kuchiki hiển thị an emotion. Hatred. "You hate him and his Những người bạn after all they've done for us....You hate him because bạn know how they feel." He snickered. " In fact I think everyone can see it except them. Damn it, it hurts. But its my own fault. I wasted all that time thinking I wasn't man enough to even talk to her. No I could never come between them and live with myself. I tình yêu her too much to do something like that to her. To them." Renji softly said. Wiping a tear away, he raised his eyes to his captain. With the acceptance in them, that shamed Byakuya. Continuing on Renji laid a hand on his captain's shoulder. "Think about her happiness, think about your own. If someone had ordered bạn to marry someone else could bạn have? Would bạn have forgotten your own heart? As things stand they may never get to realize how they feel." Without permission he turned and left the Kuchiki family gardens.
In my story the reason that Ichigo feels so close to Orihime is that Jamie (Kura's) son promised to protect his sister in a different time period. I'm not sure how I will deal with this part either he will have failed hoặc succeeded in protecting his sister. Yet the promise to protect his sibling has followed his ancestors line up to Ichigo. That is why he feels he must protect her, but not fall for her. This is how I explain it so far, but I'm not Kubo. He just inspired me to see outside the box
