I found this on AO3 months ago and even put it on my Bookmarks but for some reason it wasn't until several days ago that I finally read it through. WHHHY? What in the world made me wait so long?? ...Well now that that little drama fest is over with I wanted to ask... how many people know what happened between Hoshiko and Mayuri? I know a few of Fouth Squad and Eleventh Squad know about the encounter but who else? Any of the other Csptains besides 4th, 11th, and 12th?

Hello! Hi! I’m so excited that you bookmarked and like the story!!! I’m still planning things out to get to the next arc, but I’m trying to write soon!!

To answer your question, I knew it seemed not that obvious, but like Ichigo, i think it was, said, some of them felt her power spike exponentially, so it’s safe to say that a lot of the captains know it happened, but they aren’t too aware of the details. So the list of people that do know is pretty much just those few captains, Yamamoto was probably informed and Ichigo to an extent.

What's Hoshiko's favorite animal? Also, would you be cool if I doodled her with said animal's ears/tail? (Btw, I'm gonna try and crank out a few things I think you'll find hilarious 😂) And one more question, as it's something I've thought about a bit, could I write some drabbles where my oc interacts with yours?

I am SO SORRY that I’ve been gonef or at lEAST a MONTH OR TWO omg. Busy with school and cons... and work, disgustingly enough, ugh. Not even enough time for the Hoshi and the Cru. BUT ANYWAY. I’mma try to be back soon!! 

Hoshiko’s favorite animal??? I didn’t even think about that! Omg, she as a person would probably like something mythical, you think? Nope, she likes birds. That being said, I think that she as a person, has all the swagger and happiness of a dog, but her snarkiness is similar to a cat? Ah, just go for whatever you think is right! 

And go AWF!!!! WRITE WHAT YOU WANT. It’s so exciting and I’m sorry it took so long to respond.

19 Rukia/Hoshi please! Maybe late 1800s? Honestly whatever speaks to you I'm into it

GASP. Y’all, here it is… the first Ruki/Hoshi on this blog. Enjoy it. 

19. historical AU (historical period of your choice)37. arranged marriage AU49. psychic connection

watch me FAIL lmao. This one is LONG. And I hope I did it justice. Rukia’s a lot closer to her personality when she’s with Ichigo & the others. And Ichigo is a sweetheart someone pls love him (besides me)

From a young age, whenever Rukia went to visit her grandfather in the summer, she knew never to go to the Urahara Manor. It was just something that you didn’t do. When she was allowed out to play with the other children, they would always dare each other to go and touch the front gate of the Urahara Manor, and some would report back saying they heard a noise or saw a figure, and that would cement Rukia’s fear even more.

There was something about that place that made her senses act up. And it was on her way home, so she would pass by it. Normally, she would uphold the Kuchiki Ideals. Walk, not run, through anything that scared you. But now, she only ran. She knew Renji wouldn’t tell on her. They would make a game of it—whoever ran past the Manor the fastest had to by the other ice cream next time.

Rukia hadn’t bought Renji one single ice cream.

But today, Renji and the other kids couldn’t play something about summer homework. And Grandpa Ginrei had given Rukia money to buy ice cream on that hot summer day for them both, hoping that she’d hurry before his son got back and scolded them for not doing any of Rukia’s extravagant list of activities. Rukia had the two ice creams—an ice cream sandwich for her grandfather and a weird looking character ice cream for herself—in hand as she walked by the house, excited to eat, when she heard it.

“I-I-Is someone there?” Her little voice quaked with fear. She was across the street, but the cries sounded like they were only a foot or so away from her. Despite everything, Rukia took slow steps across the empty street and stood in front of the house. “H-H-Hello?”

The street in front of the Urahara Manor was mostly deserted. The town was about a mile in the direction Rukia came and her own home was about a quarter mile away from this place. All the other houses were rundown around it.

“Why won’t anybody play with me?” The voice, much clearer, cried. Rukia peered in through the gates. A young girl, about her age stood there, hands rubbing against her eyes as she cried.

“You have a scary house.” Rukia blurted out before she could stop herself, then slapped her hand against her mouth. The girl pauses, looking up at Rukia. Her eyes are red and puffy, but lighter than her bright red hair. “U-Uh, I’m… I gotta go.”

“Wait!” The girl reaches out, running towards the gate and slams into it. The look on her face is pleading. “Y-You can hear me?”

Rukia tilts her head. “Y-Yeah?” She says, blinking. “You’re talkin’ real loud. Crying loud too.”

“D-Do you wanna play with me?” The girl asks, hope filling her silver eyes and Rukia almost says yes, then she feels the ice cream dripping down her hand.

“I can’t!” She yelps, which startles the girl into falling back. “B-But, tomorrow! Tomorrow I’ll come back!”

“You promise?” The girl stands again. Rukia nods, sticking her pinky through the bars of the gate.

“Yeah, pinky promise. You do it like this.” Rukia gestures for the girl to copy her, which she does, “I pinky promise to come back tomorrow or I’ll stick a thousand needles in my armpits! Or that’s what Renji says anyway.” The girl giggles, wiping excess tears from her eyes.

“Then it’s a promise.” The girl grins.

“I’m Rukia.” Rukia finally says, pulling away.

“Hoshiko.”

Rukia awakes with a jolt, sitting up and startling her maid. Momo jumps, almost dropping the tea tray she had been carrying. “L-Lady Rukia!” She yelps, her eyes wide, “Is everything alright?”

“Yes,” Rukia replies, her voice breathless, “I just… I had a dream—more like a memory, I guess.”

“Oh?” Momo puts the tea try down on the cart, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. “Is it the nerves?”

“Maybe,” She replies, “I dreamt about the summer home, when we would visit Grandfather Ginrei. And my friends from that town.”

“Hm,” Momo hummed, “Your husband-to-be is from that town, so maybe it resurfaced some memories. It has been some time since you’ve been there, right?”

“Yes,” Rukia finally pushed back the duvet and swung her feet over the edge, “Grandfather became too sick to live on his own when I turned sixteen. We haven’t been there since, now I am twenty-one.”

Momo pours Rukia’s tea while Rukia herself moves around the room, opening the curtains and windows, letting in the fresh air. “Well, today is a happy day, is it not?”

“It’s certainly a sunny one.” Rukia replies. Her fingers pause on the back of her sitting chair. “Momo,” Momo looks up, setting down the tea pot. “Do you think I’ll like him?”

“He seems very likable.” Momo replied, “From all the stories I’ve heard… it seems he has an easy time befriending people.”

Rukia feels a ghost of a touch on her skin, and in her mind, she sees red hair and a bright smile. Somehow, she doesn’t think she’ll like her suitor much.

Her dress is large, nearly taking up more room than it should as she stares out the window for the tenth time. Her grandfather chuckles, sipping at his mid-morning tea while Rukia huffs, sitting down on the sofa. “Are you hoping, perhaps, they’ve gotten lost?”

“If I said that, Byakuya-nii-sama would surely had my head.” Rukia replies, “So instead of saying it, I shall think it and think it loudly.” At this, Ginrei laughs, and one of the attendants enters the room, “They’re pulling their carriage around to the front!”

Rukia tenses, her hands freezing where they are and her eyes go wide. “I was just as nervous,” Ginrei says, “Meeting your grandmother. Though, we did come to love each other.”

“I’m already in love.” Rukia blurts out, then slaps her hands against her mouth. Ginrei chuckles.

“I know. As was I, at that time.” Ginrei sounds wistful, and the look on his face is far off. “Maybe you should make yours eternal.”

Byakuya is already outside when Ginrei and Rukia arrive. The carriage pulls to a stop and it’s quiet for a moment, before the door is slammed open and a boy flies out, landing right at Rukia’s feet.

“Guys, we’re supposed to be making a good first impression.” Another voice says. Rukia notes that the horses aren’t startled and the driver looks bored.

“My son should be more prepared to meet his new fiancé! Instead he’s playing around!” At this, two more people come falling out of the carriage. A large man with facial hair and a much younger man with glasses, dressed in white. Two girls follow him, then another man, much larger and tanner than the rest. And then finally, another girl.

Before she can get a clear look at the girl, the boy on the ground finally stands up, blocking Rukia’s view of her. He is tall and well-built and his bright orange hair is exactly as she’d imagined it and Rukia blinks. He acts as if he hadn’t been tossed five feet from a carriage. Really, the only thing noting he had been tossed was probably the dirt marks on his clothing. “Sorry about this lot. I’m Ichigo Kurosaki. You’re Rukia?”

“Yes.” Rukia finally says, “R-Rukia…. Um, Kuchiki. Please to make your acquaintance.” She bows and he laughs.

“We’re to be married, but you act so distant. I hope we’ll be good friends.” Ichigo then says, “I brought my entourage, I hope this is alright?” He turns to Byakuya who merely nods. “That’s my dad and sisters, that’s Uryu, and that’s Sado, and the girl is—“

“Hoshiko.” Rukia breathes out, startling Ichigo.

“Er, yeah, do you know each other?” He steps out of the way when Hoshiko comes barreling towards them and slams into Rukia, sending them both to the ground.

“Rukia! Rukia! I was so worried when you didn’t come back! I thought you hated me!” The girl cries, hands gripping onto Rukia’s dress.

“Of course I don’t hate you!” Rukia yelps back, “I could never! I’m sorry I didn’t say anything to you when we left.”

“I’m so glad we’re reunited!” Hoshiko cries, sitting up and pulling Rukia with her. She then hugs Rukia around the neck, “Don’t leave like that again!”

“Not to, um, break this up,” Ichigo cuts in, “But, Hoshiko, how do you know Rukia—er, Lady Rukia?” Hoshiko pulls away for a moment, standing and pulling Rukia with her, though she doesn’t let go of the girl at all.

‘Rukia’s a friend of mine from childhood. I met you guys the summer she stopped coming to Karakura Town.’ Rukia watched, puzzled at the hand movements Hoshiko made.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Lady Rukia, friend of Hoshiko.” Ichigo finally says, though it sounds a little odd to Rukia. Hoshiko looks at him, and Ichigo nods, “Let us have fun tonight.”

“I’m confused.” Rukia says at the banquet that night. She and Ichigo are dancing across the ballroom floor. “What was Hoshiko doing with her hands? All that.. stuff, and how you guys did it back or... just spoke.=”

“You don’t know?” Ichigo raises an eyebrow. “She was signing. It’s what people who can’t hear or speak—or don’t want to speak—do to communicate.”

“Hoshiko can speak just fine.” Rukia argues, her eyes gliding across the room to where Hoshiko dances with Ichigo’s father. The two laugh as he spins her around much more aggressively than any other dancing pair. “I’ve heard her voice, it’s lovely. She can sing as well, and that’s divine.”

“She can’t.” Ichigo says, “She had a disease at birth, which muted her for life. I don’t know how you manage to figure out everything she’s saying when she doesn’t speak.”

“Because she is speaking.” Rukia gets a little louder, before coughing and lowering her voice. Her cheeks tinge pink and she looks down.

“They say,” Ichigo changes the subject, “That how you know someone is your soulmate… you’re able to hear their voice even when they don’t speak. Like some kind of mind connection or something.”

Rukia hums, but Ichigo continues speaking, “When I saw you two in the garden earlier, all I heard was you speaking—and Hoshiko wasn’t signing. She was just sitting there, listening and nodding and making wild gestures. It made me really think about my decision tonight. I knew there was nothing else I could do.”

“Decision?” Rukia echoes. Ichigo nods and they stop near the middle of the dance floor, coincidentally near Hoshiko and Ichigo’s father. “What do you mean?”

“I’m breaking off the engagement.” Ichigo says loudly, and without preamble. The look of shock on Rukia’s face is enough to make Ichigo laugh. He motions Hoshiko over and breaks away from Rukia. “I’d very much rather not fight Hoshiko for your hand in marriage. So, it was nice meeting you, Lady Rukia, but I’ll take my chances elsewhere.”

Ichigo bows to her, before signing at Hoshiko and then walking away with his father. Hoshiko takes Rukia’s hands and they begin dancing as if they had never stopped. “Ichigo’s always like that, don’t mind him.” Hoshiko grins, “He’ll find someone someday. Did you know this was his third broken engagement? That’s why I was surprised when such a noble house sent a letter.”

“To be honest, it’s because I’ve had just as many broken engagements.” Rukia replies, “I must confess, Hoshiko, I have often thought about you and longed to return to you.” The words make both of the girls blush and Hoshiko looks away.

“I was supposed to be the one laying down all of these cheesy lines.” Hoshiko pouts, then laughs. “I wonder if your brother will allow this. If he is looking for benefits, House Urahara has much to offer. I handle business with many people from different lands and my father is a very bright inventor. We have many allies and much to offer.”

“I don’t care if he doesn’t.” Rukia surprised herself. What surprised her even more was that she meant it. “I want to be with you, I… I love you, Hoshiko.”

“And I love you, Rukia.”

Oooh Hoshiko/Uryuu??

WOW!!!! EXTREMELY underrated pairing. Maybe I should reblog these more ??? Do y’all like these??

Always wins when they play Trivia Crack: Uryu, because Hoshiko has vague and vast knowledge and Uryu just is really smart. He sucks at the pop culture references.

Laughs when their partner trips on something: Hoshiko, because Uryu is much too nice to laugh at someone.

Would drop ice down the back of the other’s shirt as a joke: Hoshiko again, because Uryu is very polite and wouldn’t dream of 

Spoils the ending of books/movies: It seems like Hoshiko is always getting spoiled lmao, but this time it’s Hoshiko because she gets really excited for the things she does ready and ends up telling Uryu cause “he won’t read it anyway”. Uryu has a hard time finding things that Hoshiko hasn’t told him about.

Always posts a picture of the other as their MCM or WCW: Hoshiko, because Uryu is too shy to post.

Eats the last piece of cake in the fridge before the other can have it: Uryu because he’s actually very spiteful and doesn’t mind cake. He’ll eat it in front of her like “Oh, didn’t know you wanted that.”

Obnoxiously celebrates Monday Punday every week: Hoshiko would be shaken if Uryu sent her a pun back.

Makes loving hack posts on the other’s Facebook/Instagram/Tumblr/Twitter etc: Hoshiko, as Uryu is again too shy.

Has to beat their partner in every game: Uryu is very competitive when he wants to be, it’s what Hoshiko likes.

Keeps their partner up half the night talking about random stuff: Hoshiko really knows how to keep them talking.

Eats too much garlic and tries to kiss their partner anyway: One of Uryu’s small pleasures, since he knows Hoshiko hates it

What’s the score ??

Hoshiko: 7

Uryu: 4

Wow, Hoshiko really is an enigmatic personality!!!

[hoshikonobleach]

If Hoshiko and Orihime met do you think they'd get along? What would they think of each other?

Hi hi! 

I think that because of the way they both are, they honestly would get along really well. Hoshiko loves to have fun and she’s really good at making friends, so she would become an easy friend with Orihime. Orihime is pretty funny and very sweet, so Hoshiko would bad if she ever went to roast her, because she probably wouldn’t understand. They’d be two peas in a pod and probably get matching phone cases.

[hoshikonobleach]

Could you do Hoshiko and Tatsuki for the ask meme?

I can’t bElIEVE I got Hoshi/Tatsuki. What a pairing. These girls, they need more screentime together. Ugh.

Always wins when they play Trivia Crack: Tatsuki is bad at phones, and never answers in time, so Hoshi usually ends up winning.

Laughs when their partner trips on something: Both, they’re both kind of assholes

Would drop ice down the back of the other’s shirt as a joke: Both, but Hoshiko does it more often.

Spoils the ending of books/movies: Hoshiko, because she watches almost nothing, and never tells Hoshiko she’s never seen it, so Hoshi ends up bringing up casual spoilers.

Always posts a picture of the other as their MCM or WCW: Tatsuki & they’re always either really ugly photos of Hoshi or really nice ones.

Eats the last piece of cake in the fridge before the other can have it: Hoshiko eats whatever is labeled Tatsuki’s in the fridge out of spite. She’ll stand there and make sure she sees her.

Obnoxiously celebrates Monday Punday every week: Hoshiko is the pun QUEEn. Tatsuki just bows down

Makes loving hack posts on the other’s Facebook/Instagram/Tumblr/Twitter etc: Tatsuki, queen of WCW, Hoshiko, queen of love hacks.

Has to beat their partner in every game: Tatsuki, she’s very competitive but she won’t let Hoshiko win, even if she pouts.

Keeps their partner up half the night talking about random stuff: Hoshiko

Eats too much garlic and tries to kiss their partner anyway: Everybody loves kissing Hoshiko despite her garlic hatred.

What’s the score ??

Hoshiko: 5

Tatsuki: 6

[hoshikonobleach]

I've living for Hoshiko's relationship with Urahara, and Rukia saying Lit is legitimately the most hilarious thing I've read.

AREN’T WE ALL???? I love Hoshiko and Urahara’s relationship, they are parental-child goals. I could go on and on about these two but I won’t because 1.) spoilers and 2.) i can talk about them all day

Rukia is my baby child, okay, I love her and she always needs to be doing the most unrukia like things. Expect more from her
