Byakuya walked to the back of the gardens, a special place he and Hisana had shared during their short marriage, a place where the servants had been forbidden to touch. As he reached the ever open gate his eyes went wide in shock, elegant brow rising. He stood frozen, taking in the beauty that surrounded him. He had never witnessed anything as magnificent as this in his entire existence. There Rukia stood, bathed in the moonlight with her eyes closed and her face lifted towards the sky. The most amazing part, were the hundreds, no, thousands of hell butterflies surrounding her. It was a beauty to behold and Byakuya was having a problem controlling himself. He had begun walking towards her when Rukia sensed him and his step faltered as she opened her eyes and met his gaze. He didn’t know what he had expected, but it wasn’t the outstretched hand and the warm, welcoming smile that she was offering.

Byakuya seemed to glide over the dew dampened grass, quickly closing the space between them. Rukia gave a small smile, eyes sparkling, as he took her extended hand in his own and pulled her against him. The slight look of surprise on his face made her wrap her free arm around his waist and bury her face in his chest. This was something she could understand; this warmth, this protection. “You should have come sooner.”Rukia began in a hushed voice. When Byakuya looked into her eyes, seemingly searching, she continued.”I’ve been waiting for a whole life time.” And she gave him another warm smile before hugging him tighter. She felt a small pang when he dropped her hand, but she quickly sighed in contentment when he put his arms around her and pulled her even closer to him. “Rukia…” She smiled even wider.

“Rukia…” he murmured. He could feel her smile through his night robes and he looked down at her once more. There, there’s that sparkle again. He had seen the same sparkle in one other set of eyes before, but it had never been this strong. It had never sent a warmth spreading through his insides. “I…” He loosened his grip and pulled her back a little as he leaned down. “I’ve been wanting to do this…” And his lips met hers softly, briefly. He pulled back and looked into her eyes, searching, wanting. He found what he had been looking for and his lips crashed into hers as she worked her fingers through his hair. She was the first to pull back, breathing ragged and eyes slightly glazed. “Byakuya… I love…..”

O0o0o0

Byakuya sat up with a start, sweat drenched sheets clinging and tangled, wet hair matted to his face. His heart was thumping wildly and his fingers touched upon his lips. “A dream.” He whispered bitterly, the sweet taste of her still on his lips. He got out of bed and pulled on his night robes and began making his way to the washroom. He had just rounded the corner when he walked right into a very startled Rukia. She quickly looked up at him and a furious blush spread over her face. “Bya….Nii-Sama…” She stuttered and had begun to turn around when he called out to her. “Rukia.. what’s wrong?” Rukia blinked up at him, blush never waning, and a look of confusion crossed her face.

O0o0o0

Rukia blinked up at Byakuya. She had almost slipped, had slipped and began to call him by his given name. Then he had grimaced. And now he was acting concerned. The most unsettling part of this whole situation was the faint flush that had crept up his neck and onto his face as he searched her face for…. What?
That dream had been her undoing. She had had her suspicions on her feelings for him, and this just sealed the deal. Why else would she have woken up struggling to breathe, heart thumping wildly and with the lingering sweet taste of him still on her lips? Why else would she have nearly called him by his given name? She felt the heat grow stronger in her face and just as she began to look away she felt his fingers brush her cheek. “So beautiful…” She looked back up at him, to make sure she hadn’t just imagined that. Her eyes widened when she met his intense gaze.

“So beautiful…” he murmured, stroking her cheek. Her eyes snapped back up to his and widened as her mouth formed a little ‘o’ of surprise. He took it as an invitation and brought his lips against hers, letting loose all of the emotions and desire that he had let bottle for so many years. “Rukia…” he whispered against her lips and his tongue sought entrance. She parted her lips immediately and brought one hand to his hair and the other against his jaw. Byakuya marveled at how warm her mouth was, how sweet she tasted. ‘Just like in the dream.’ He thought as he broke the kiss and lifted her off of her feet to carry her to his bed. She nuzzled her head in the junction between his neck and shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Byakuya...”

Senbonzakura and Sode no Shirayuki sat in their respective locations. Neither of their masters noticed the contented humming coming from the pair.
