Sorry it's taken so long to get this to you but I haven't had any time to write. This is the end of the story b/c I cant seem to continue it anymore. At least there's a conclusion.

That is how they got together. They were married very shortly after then I came along a few months later. Oh right I haven't told you the story of how they actually got married.

Well I got the whole uncensored and rather dull version later on. They originally told me it was all done properly with right ceremony involved. It happened like this not long after they agreed to start dating officially to show everyone they were going through the right channels.

Well it seemed father didn't exactly take the initiative to ask for her hand, that was just how he was. So others took it upon themselves to help things along. It is customary for the parents of the newly wedded, to poke a small hole in the shoji to make sure the marriage was consummated.

Since the two were not married yet the servants had noticed the 'consummation' going on regularly. Great grandfather had found out and one evening he had witnessed it along with a high ranking household servant who pointed it out. The next morning Rukia was busy balancing the household budget when her grandfather placed a document in front of her and asked her to sign it, she was so preoccupied that she didn't ask and just signed it barley noticing her grandfather was there. The man had then signed his name and the servant hers. The two then went to study to find the groom. He was also knee deep in paper work. Ginrei repeated the process with him.

It wasn't until lunch that he congratulated the both of them. Neither had a clue what it was for. He showed them the document and it took them both a while to remember when they signed it. Rukia was the first to protest the trickery. They were told it was too late as the announcements have gone out, the form was binding, and the consummation had witnesses the night before. Both had seemed embarrassed and then, relieved.

It wasn't much of a change for them to get used to married life. Mom was already carrying me before they were married so it was the logical course of action anyway. The two of them lived very long and happy lives together. She didn't keep much of a journal after, only one more entry and then I will have to tell you what I remember.

'I thought I misplaced this diary. I assumed it would have disintegrated with so much time. It's been forever since I wrote last and longer since I've read the pages. Times have changed so much and I've changed so much. It is our two hundredth wedding anniversary. I still laugh when I think of how we were tricked into marriage. We've been blessed with wonderful and talented children who make us proud every day. Byakuya has made me so happy over the years. Yes we've had our disagreements but they were all so petty and not worth mentioning. I surprised him today when I told him we were having another baby. It's been a long time since we agreed to stop having them. The house has been so quiet with our daughter long married and gone and our sons in such high positions. Both captains, they get it from their father. I think it is time for another baby and he couldn't have agreed with me more. I feel so blessed every day. I hope the next two hundred years are filled with just as much love and joy, I will have to enjoy my children now as soon I will probably be to old to have any more. I'm sure by then my sons will make me a grandmother again and fill the house. It's so strange to be a grandmother. I'm not a day over three hundred and twenty. But I'm glad we didn't wait until we were older to have kids. Its been all so wonderful. I was just getting back into my work, I was a lieutenant for such a short time. Oh well. I love being a mom and wife more. I'll see in twenty or so years if I want to go back again. It's busy being the Kuchiki matron.'

Mom spent a lot of her time with us and when we were older she went back to being a Shinigami part time. She visited her friends in the living world and they visited us often. It was strange to me how quickly the living age and die. Dad continued to head the 6th division and the household which was passed onto my brother when father retired. It was all so long ago, so much has happened and now I think I will have to publish my memoirs too so my kids will know my view of the big events that are now in the history books.
