Bleach: Lull: Promise

Fic post from my archive.

Promise

Knowing the history of Byakuya's promises, Rukia makes one of her own, and hopes Renji can accept it. Drama with Angst, I-4.

A subtle softening passed over her brother's face. Nothing so overt as a smile, but Rukia brightened to see it. I'll make our house proud, she assured him silently. I will. I promise.

Thank you, indeed. I'm seeing what I can do to match KT's narrative style, and this speaking about things by implication and absence is what I settled on.

*wry* I have to admit, though, a lot of the point of writing this arc is to get Rukia and Renji and Byakyua to work through their various Issues until Rukia and Renji can be together. I'm fairly die-hard about the Rukia-Renji romance, and couldn't stand the owowow any longer.

Of course playing with the politics is awfully fun, too. *grins*
