To sneak Yuzu into Soul Society was a little too easy for Urahara, the blonde had been happy to and Yoruichi tagged along for giggles as she'd make everything believable since she was the Clan Head of the Shihoin Family. The plan was to disguise his sister as a maid, Ginrei Kuchiki's personal maid – Urahara had given her a lavender colored wig which had a hime-cut hairstyle with grey eye contacts and he barely recognized her himself, she would turn 16 in less than 4 days when he 'stormed' into Soul Society demanding answers as to who had taken his sister.

He was surprised at how easy it was for Byakuya to not outright lie, but give his truthful statements and Yoruichi with such a serious persona made him nearly burst into hysterical laughter as Yuzu in the guise of a maid brought tea or the occasional snack and Ginrei's small smirk said that he was amused by all the commotion occurring. He had to cover his face pretending to be distraught so they wouldn't spot his large grin and it only grew larger as the next few days passed.

The Elders grew antsy.

"Its worth making them squirm, Karin and Otou-san are a tad bit worried but I'll explain later" Yuzu said as she held the tray of tea, she was in her maid disguise where he had managed to corner her. "Granted, I got some unexpected support but you can say its more of a you reap what you sow kind of thing" she added as an afterthought "did you know that they wanted to force Ukitake-san to marry another woman while he was already courting a young Noble woman?" his eyes grew slightly,

"You're kidding"

"Yuzu has already made contact with the Elders, she had a Letter delivered by Usagi-san that they have to agree to her terms if they want her to return" Usagi Yuki was Yuzu's maid name that Rukia had chosen, the sarcasm his sister spoke in was full of amusement that he realized she was having way too much fun toying with the old bags.

"Ichigo-kun" he stiffened

"K…Kyoraku-san" the man smiled tilting his head

"What are you hiding?" he questioned, his lone grey eye sharp and the orangette squirmed

"You shouldn't tease him so much, he's a terrible liar" the maid spoke, Ichigo whirled around to demand what she was doing.

"That he is, it's a good thing to have such honest younglings around, ne? Usagi-chan?" it dawned Ichigo, the Senior Captain knew everything, but Yuzu didn't seem deterred. If anything she didn't even bat an eyelash, humming curiously as she gave a nod her expression carefully composed. "I hear a certain young Shiba is up to mischief"

"Like I was telling the young master, Kyoraku-Dono: It's more of a reap what you sow and they shouldn't have bitten more than they were able to chew, its for that reason that they've no choice other than to listen to that young Shiba's whims and spoilt demands" the orangette paled, what was she doing!? Kyoraku's sharp gaze fell on her and Yuzu unwavering stared back clearly not feeling pressured by the man's keen observations.

"I suppose that's true, I'm quite surprised she agreed marrying a man like myself" Ichigo choked – Yuzu did what!?

"I'm certain that the young lady doesn't see it as a burden or a duty" she spoke with a small smile as her gaze fell onto one of the many garden's in the Kuchiki Manor. "It may be an opportunity for her to begin anew, she knows that a man like yourself will care for her and intimate feelings can develop – there is time to spare in this world, after all" Ichigo's body relaxed 'don't tell me that she's really going for it' he thought "unless" her eyes were trained on the Soutaichou "you have a reason for her to not trust nor believe in you, Kyoraku-Dono."

"!" the man seemed speechless,

"Forgive my blunt words, I shall take my leave now, the master awaits my presence" she walked past both Shinigami, Ichigo risked a glance to the Soutaichou whose expression was one of surprise, but then he tilted his Sakkat forward with a small chuckle. Oh, he defienetly knew who that maid was…

"You have an interesting sister, Ichigo-kun."
