Some twists, just hope that it is to your liking. I appreciate all the favorites and reviews even though I am not so active on fanfic nowadays !

Rukia immediately sank onto the bed after she reached home. If she could, she would have cursed as loud as possible but she didn't want to be blacklisted as a disturbing neighbour. Drawing in a deep breath, she managed to calm herself down. Yet, thoughts still pervaded her mind like smoke through gaps.
What have I said? Damn. I think I like you? God, you're hopeless. How could you when you don't even..
Rukia balled her fists in frustration. Grave mistake. She bit her lower lips.
How am I even going to face him? Someone save me. I must have been out of my mind. Almost having sex with my boss in the office. Rukia.. You're terrible, letting your fever get into your head. Apologise. Tomorrow.
Her eyelids grew heavier and just like this, her thoughts dispersed.
Byakuya let his car keys slide across the polished table top and he dropped onto the couch heavily. He dismissed all the servants back to their quarters while he tried to sort out his situation.
He couldn't believe that he actually did that. What's more? He is Kuchiki Byakuya. And this has never ever happened before. A sudden make out session with a subordinate whom he hardly even knew.
What came over me? No matter how sexually deprive I get, I could always control myself.
Just thinking about what happened earlier on, hardened his arousal. He gritted his teeth. His eyes widened as he remembered the kiss she gave him. His fingers travelled to his lips. He swore that light and shy kiss made him shudder.
However, right now.. It would do both of them good to forget the incidence. Byakuya decided to put it past him and properly apologise tomorrow. He knew that her confession wasn't sincere from the way she fumbled with her hands. Even if it was, he probably would have rejected her. No, he definitely will because he is this type of person.
He sighed before heading back to his room for a cold shower. A really cold shower.
Rukia woke up to the annoying buzzing sound that has been going on for some time. With half opened eyes she grabbed her phone.
"Hello.. This is Rukia speaking.." Rukia bit back a yawn.
"Oi Rukia, don't tell me you're still sleeping?!"
"Huh? Ichigo? Thanks to your call I was awakened! What's up?"
"What's up? The sun is up ! My lady, are you on another planet? Look at the time now ! Don't you need to go to work today?"
"Work?...W-WORK! Damn Ichigo, ring me up sooner!"
"Don't blame me, you lazy ass." Ichigo sighed. "I'll do you a service by picking you up. Go and wash up sleepyhead. See you later."
"Thanks Ichigo, I owe you many !"
Rukia hurried to the washroom and freshened up with a quick bathe. Just when she finished applying her makeup, a doorbell could be heard.
She quickly opened the door and Ichigo, without wasting any time, took her belongings and rushed down to his motorbike.
"Thank god you wore pants. Otherwise I don't know how I'm going to give you a ride." Ichigo grinned and tossed the helmet to her.
"Shut up but.. thanks Ichigo !"
"You're welcome midget, now hold tight."
She instinctively wanted to jab him for calling her that but the sudden motion made her grabbed his shoulders tightly as he sped off.
"Rukia, you still remember asking me about your Byakuya right?"
"H-HUH? OH.. YEAH !" Rukia shouted as loud as possible due to the wind resistance. For an instant that Byakuya appeared in her mind instead.
"I've got some leads but don't get your hopes too high." Ichigo grinned at her.
"Wait for me !" Rukia shouted as she made a chase for the closing elevator doors.
Rukia panted heavily as she got into the lift.
"Isn't this Rukia?"
She recognised the voice, "RENJI!"
Renji grinned. "What's up with you, breathing so heavily."
"Late for work." Rukia laughed. "I haven't seen you for weeks, Renji. Was anything the matter?"
Renji laughed, "Shit happens I guess. While I was sick, I received a call from my family. Turns out that a relative of mine passed away so I had to return for a funeral."
"Oh.. Sorry for bringing it up." Rukia looked apologetic.
"Stupid, there's nothing to apologise for. Besides we're not really close."
"I see !" Rukia giggled and Renji ruffled her hair.
"I just realised, are you going to see the boss?" Rukia asked as she looked at the single lit up button on the panel.
"Yeah, I'm going to be interviewed by him later. Hopefully everything turns out fine. Not that I'm not confident of my abilities." Renji smirked and gave her a pat.
"I shall see you around with the clique then!"
Rukia nodded before hurrying in. She immediately went to her boss's room to apologise for her tardiness.
"I'm sorry boss, I overslept this morning. And.. o-on top of that I wish to a-apologise for what happened last night. Please forget all of it." Rukia bowed fearfully.
"If someone has to apologise, it should be me. The fault lies with me. Carry on with your work."
She smiled awkwardly due to the tense atmosphere.
"Yes Boss. And, Abarai Renji has arrived for an interview. Shall I call him in?"
"Please do so."
"All the best Renji! You can do it!" Rukia gave him a hard pat on his shoulder.
"Thanks midget." Renji hugged her briefly and went in.
Their interaction was not missed by a pair of silver eyes.
Renji knocked on the door.
"Come in."
He bowed briefly and took a seat in front of Byakuya.
Rukia smiled as she was reminded of what Ichigo told her.
"I've got some leads but don't get your hopes too high."
"Oh my god, are you serious?" Rukia looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Like I said, don't get your hopes up. Nothing is confirmed." Ichigo smiled.
"Thank you so much Ichigo !" Rukia hugged him tightly from behind.
"Y-You are welcome." Ichigo blushed at their close contact.
"Kurosaki. Oi, Kurosaki!"
Ishida looked at him with irritation written on his face. He pushed up his glasses.
"Kurosaki, Inoue-san has prepared chocolate and wasabi fried rice for you." He whispered in his ears.
Ichigo immediately shot up with sweat dripping down his face.
"What did you say?" His neck creaked like a robot as he turned to look at Inoue.
"I was kidding. What were you thinking? I called you a few times."
"N-Nothing." Ichigo blushed as he looked away.
"I see. Shiba-san, am I right?"
"NO! WHY WOULD I THINK OF HER !" Ichigo exclaimed and everyone turned to look at him with curiosity written on their faces. Some were even mentally prepared to tease him already.
"Damn you Ishida!" He grabbed his arm.
"This is sexual harassment, Kurosaki."
"HUH?! W-What are you saying? Stop defaming me anymore!" Ichigo let go of his arm.
"That was never my intention."
"Yeah right." Ichigo glared at him.
"I was going to talk to you about this." Ishida showed him a pamphlet.
"Stargazing activity at Ishigaki. Night festivals and much more to experience!" Ichigo read aloud.
"So… why are you showing me this?"
Ishida let out a big sigh. "You're really an idiot, aren't you? Catch some hints already."
"Who are you calling an idiot ! Don't beat around the bush and just get to the point." Ichigo folded his arms and frowned.
"Well. I was thinking of a get together. You do know that there would be a public holiday next Monday right?"
"Yeah. So you're planning for a three day activity?"
Ishida smirked. "For once you can think, I'm glad for you."
"Damn you Ishida, stop trying to ruffle my feathers. Anyway, I have no objections towards this. Have you asked the others?"
"Well… I approached everyone except Shiba-san and Renji."
"I'll help you tell them then since I'm going to meet Rukia later."
Ishida gave him a sly smile. "A date eh? I shall leave it in your hands then. Have fun, Kurosaki." Ishida then walked off.
"IT IS NOT A DATE BAKA ISHIDA!" Ichigo hollered with a red beet face.
"From what I heard, that Byakuya of yours was adopted by a family in the United States."
"It couldn't be ! I heard he was adopted by a Japanese couple!"
Ichigo scratched his head. "Perhaps it's both? A Japanese couple residing in US?"
"That.. might be true. But US is so big, how am I supposed to find him?" Rukia let out a sigh.
"As I have told you, don't get your hopes up. His name might have changed too. Since he's living in US, he would've probably changed his name to an English one." Ichigo ruffled her hair.
"There must be something I can do." Rukia declared determinedly.
Ichigo gave her a laugh. "Good, that's the Rukia I know."
"Y-Yeah!" Rukia blushed.
"Ishida asked if you are free this weekend." Ichigo downed his iced coffee and threw it into the bin.
"I should be. What's the matter?"
Ichigo pulled out the crumbled pamphlet from his pocket and showed her.
"Stargazing.. ! This is.. AWESOME ! Are we really going?" Rukia jumped around like a child.
"If you are free, then we are definitely going." He smirked.
Rukia nodded her head. "I'm going, definitely going. I'll kill you if you suddenly cancel the event!"
"Will not!" Ichigo chuckled.
Two more days, two more days ! Rukia hummed while staring at the pamphlet with excitement.
She was so lost in her own world that she didn't even realise Byakuya standing behind her.
Byakuya was wondering what she was doing when he heard her humming. He called her but she was so lost in thoughts that he approached her with curiosity.
He couldn't hide his amusement when he saw that she was looking at a pamphlet that has bunnies drawn all over. Which, was clearly her doing.
And out of the bolt, a sharp pain hit him in the head and he sank onto the ground on one knee.
He grunted as images of bunnies flashed in his memories. And once again, that young girl appeared.
Why does this always happen? Who is this girl?
Rukia was jolted out from her reverie when she heard a groan. She swiftly turned behind and saw Byakuya gritting his teeth. He looked as if he were in tremendous pain.
Rukia panicked for a moment.
"Boss ! Are you alright?"
But there was no reply.
She tried calling him again and yet there was still no reply.
"Byakuya !" Rukia shook him.
His expression started to soften but something was wrong.
He was staring into space. The light in his eyes had disappeared and his unfocused pupils made her petrified.
It was hard to move him around so she made him settle down on the floor. Byakuya sat still like a doll but his pulse was still there, much to Rukia's relief.
Rukia had no idea what was happening and she didn't know what to do.
Without thinking, she enveloped his hands with hers and gently squeezed them.
Rukia blinked for a few times before her expression changed to that of fear.
Why.. Why are his hands so cold?
"Byakuya !" Rukia tried once again.
Tears threatened to fall and she didn't know why. Was it because of fear? She desperately wanted to call the ambulance but he wouldn't like it. He was after all the boss of a renowned company in Japan. News of him getting sent to the hospital will go viral and he would hate it.
Suddenly she remembered about the lady who treated her injury.
Unohana-sensei!
She could call her! Rukia slipped a hand into his coat's pocket and took out his phone.
"Y-Yes he's not moving at all. But his pulse is still beating. What should I do? His hands are cold. W-What will happen to him?" Rukia's voice trembled.
"Calm down Shiba-san. Try calling out to him, I will be there as soon as possible."
Click.
Byakuya was staring at the little girl. She was beckoning him to follow her but for certain reasons his body wouldn't move. He looked down and saw ice slowly creeping up his body. He willed himself to move but his body would not obey.
Please come back! Wake up!
Suddenly he was pulled back to reality. His eyes were starting to focus and he felt a weight against his body. His arms instinctively wrapped around the warmness against him.
He hated the coldness he was feeling. It felt as if it was 'burning' its existence into his skin. It was reminding him of something… yes, that...
He tightened his arms around the warmness further more. It was starting to melt the iciness away.
Rukia squeaked in surprise as strong arms embraced her. She tried to struggle out of his grasp but he wouldn't budge.
"Byakuya.."
Someone is calling me. Who?
"Byakuya!" Rukia pushed against him more forcefully.
His eyes widened as his mind finally registered who he was hugging.
"I-I'm sorry." He slipped his arms away from her form.
His hands balled into fists as he tried to control his anxiety when the warmth was taken away. Perspiration rolled down the side of his face as he looked elsewhere nervously.
Rukia sensed something amiss.
"Byakuya, are you.. alright?"
There was no reply from him. She saw him sweating so profusely that she immediately placed a hand on his forehead.
She retracted her hand as soon as he felt his head.
"Why are you still so cold?" Rukia stared at her hands in disbelief.
Just like snow.
"This isn't good." Rukia muttered under her breath.
"I'll get you some hot water."
Rukia quickly stood up but collapsed into his strong arms when he pulled her back to him.
"W-What are you-"
"Stay." Byakuya whispered hoarsely as he sank his head into the crook of her neck.
Oh my god. Where is this going?
Rukia shuddered as she felt his warm breath on her neck.
Byakuya closed his eyes and breathed in her scent. For some reasons, it seemed to calm his nerves down. His breathing became steadier. He hugged her tighter.
Need more warmth.
"Byakuya.. You need to remove your coat, you're perspiring."
He didn't budge.
Rukia sighed inwardly. Her hands trembled a little as she tried to unbutton his coat. She could only tell where the buttons are by feeling for them.
Byakuya heard her clearly but he did not want to move. Being in this position was more comfortable. He felt her hands undoing the buttons and he let her. His eyes were still closed as he inhaled more of her scent. It's like he was addicted to it. Then he felt it.
Something was brushing against his manhood.
His breath hitched and his eyes shot wide open.
Why are there so many buttons? And why of all things must he wear a long coat?
Her hands strayed further down to undo the remaining buttons. Then she felt something hard.
Found it! But… why is it so difficult to remove it? Try harder Rukia!
Still having no knowledge of what she had done, Rukia moved her hands about his manhood thinking that the button was there. Her fingers rubbed against his hardened arousal for a few times. And eventually frustration got her and she decided to feel for it with her hands instead.
Byakuya bit his lips, trying to restrain his groans in case he frightened her.
How on earth did she even…argh
He was no longer feeling cold; in fact heat was spreading throughout his body especially around that area.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed at his member.
Fuck.
Byakuya let out a low groan.
Rukia seemed startled.
"I'm sorry did I hurt you? Bear for a little while more, I will remove your coat soon."
Then her hands resumed what she was doing and this time harder and deeper.
When he felt her grip tightened on his crotch he groaned even louder.
The heat was starting to become unbearable.
"Rukia.." Byakuya tried to articulate without sounding husky.
"I'll be fast, wait for a little while more."
She is seriously ignorant… fuck, so tight.
"Can you remove your hands now because…"
"Because?" Her hands brushed against his crotch again.
"I won't be able to control myself at this rate."
Suddenly Byakuya pinned her to the ground.
"B-Byakuya?"
"Look at where your hands are."
"Of course it's on your coat."
Rukia rubbed against his member again.
"F… don't do that Rukia. Look carefully." Byakuya said through gritted teeth.
My hands are…
Her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
OH MY GOD. KILL ME. NOW.
Rukia's mouth gaped as she realised her folly. Her face and ears turned bright red as she stared at her hands.
Upon seeing her flustered face and splayed out hair Byakuya couldn't hold back anymore.
He captured her mouth in a forceful kiss. He bit her lower lips and she moaned aloud. His tongue immediately snuck in and dominated her.
What is this… we shouldn't be..
But the pleasure overwhelmed Rukia's reasoning. Her tongue started to fight back for dominance and that surprised Byakuya.
He didn't know why but he smiled as he felt her responding to his kisses. He broke the kiss and his tongue travelled down her neck and to her collarbone. He removed his coat in a flash and did the same to hers.
He felt her reach up to unbutton his crisped white shirt and he let her do as she pleased. His hands went underneath her blouse and touched her flat stomach. Like a pro, he removed her blouse and left her only in her silk bra.
He wasted no time removing that piece of garment and his mouth immediately covered her left breast while his left hand kneaded her right breast. The stimulation caused Rukia to moan and arched in pleasure. She stopped unbuttoning his shirt.
His fingers ran over the hardened nub of her breast and rolled it between his fingers. He bit lightly on her nipple and Rukia let out a scream. Byakuya's pants tightened unbearably upon hearing her moans of pleasure.
Rukia wasn't thinking at all. She had already submitted to the pleasure she was experiencing. She wanted more of his touch and him in person.
He ran his hand through her pants and pulled it down, exposing an already wet underwear.
"You are wet for me." He whispered sensually in her ears.
Rukia nodded her head without thinking. That caught Byakuya by surprise.
"That was honest of you.. shall I reward you?" Byakuya licked her earlobes.
His hands travelled along the wetness of the silk material.
Rukia shuddered and moaned his name.
Byakuya grew excited; no one ever made him feel this way.
I want to make her feel good.
He was about to pull away the soft material when suddenly his phone rang.
Rukia recovered from her long gone senses and realised what conspired between them. She locked eyes with Byakuya.
He knew that she was starting to feel scared like the previous time. He looked at her intently. The fire in him has yet to die down.
He gave her one long but gentle kiss on her lips not once breaking eye contact with her. Then he picked up the phone.
"What is it Unohana sensei?" Byakuya managed to sound calm.
"Kuchiki-san! Thank god you are alright. I couldn't make it to your place at the eleventh hour as I was required to treat a patient who is in critical condition."
"Yes I am alright thanks to Shiba." He glanced at her as she started to dress up as quickly as possible.
Her heart was galloping and she can't seem to make them slow down. She could hear her heartbeat loud and clear in her ears. She felt shameful for losing herself to pleasure.
She choked back her tears as she gathered her belongings and hurried off.
Byakuya immediately said his goodbye to Unohana and chased after Rukia.
She frantically pressed the button but it took ages for the lift to arrive. She could hear his footsteps. Anyway for now, she just wants to be away from this man. She had a lot of thinking to be done and the last thing she wants to see is his face.
Byakuya caught up to her before the lift arrived. He turned her to face him.
"Rukia I apologise for losing my edge but-"
DING
The elevator doors opened and suddenly a man stepped out.
The unmistakable orange hair caused Rukia to freeze in place.
GASP. ICHIGO.
