Saving Rukia Arc
By Eugena
Three:
Return of Loyalty
Ukitake pov
The spiritual pressure of a captain approaches, but I know it not. He has his sights set on Byakuya. There is no wavering in him. He stands a sentinel to protect Rukia, the unseated member of my squad. Yet, something is familiar. He begins to fight, but I cannot shake this feeling. I have lived to see many die—and now I see one return.
Kaien Shiba. The one before me is nearly his duplicate. He who died at Rukia’s hands will now reborn causes her to die. Must it be a never-ending cycle? Is there no end for them?
In both times, it is Rukia who suffers. She who loved another woman’s husband was doomed to live past his demise. Now she is doomed to die before they can be united. Is this Kaien already taken? Has his wife returned as well?
Yet Byakuya warns that this man before me is not the same. He is not the man who once swore loyalty to me. Yet, this man has pledged his life to Rukia, and that is enough.

Two:
Reunited, Briefly
Ichigo pov
At first I check on the young soul reaper. He has a good heart and strong will but he is weak in strength. Perhaps I check on him first, because I cannot yet face you. You lied to your own family to save my life. Again, you save me. Yet how do you take me now? Will you really not forgive me, as you have promised? An ache begins in my soul, for without you I am lost. Yet if you live and you leave me, am I just as lost?
Yet your eyes reassure me. Though you say otherwise, you are truly happy. Then what Hanataro has told me is correct. How happy my memory has made you. Now, if you allow, take my life and find your happiness.

Bleach S2 (Eps 41-42) one shot fic series.
One:
Saving Rukia
Rukia pov
Somehow, she knew she would let go. Let go of Kaien and her role in his death. Someday, she would free her heart.
So, she watched her big brother try to kill the man who looked so much like him. He summoned the cherry blossoms of his sword, his final and undeniable killing move. Her former captain looked on, in pain to see the man looking like the lieutenant he lost.
No. No, thought Rukia. Why should anyone else die for me?
Was fate really that different this time?
“What is it, Rukia?” Ichigo’s voice in her mind.
“Rukia?” Kaien.
She knelt before her memory of Kaien. Forgive me, forgive me, she begged.
Whether or not Ichigo proved to be the reincarnation of Kaien, Rukia felt something for Ichigo for him alone.
Maybe she gave Ichigo her power because he looked so much like him. Maybe she thought it was her repentance.
In the end, she could only give into one feeling, for the one man who stood to protect her. Kaien died, and with him, her feelings for him.
Goodbye, Kaien.
