Dedication: jenkat- thanks for all your help on that contest entry earlier this week. -;;
A/N: There is something about overprotective older brothers that is so cute. And so I linger on the topic like WOAH.

With each other.

Ichigo thought it was just Byakuya being unreasonable. Rukia was a grown woman for crying out loud, and she could date who she wanted and everything would be great if Byakuya would just realize that and stop being an overprotective paranoid freak about it and let them alone.

Byakuya thought that Ichigo was an idiot.

So one could say they didn't exactly see eye to eye.

"Stay away from my sister," Byakuya reiterated calmly, glaring imperiously at the orange-haired child sitting angrily before him.

"Argh. I don't get what your problem is! Are you even listening to me?"

"No, not particularly."

"God… just…argh. ARGH! Try to see where I'm comin' from at least, would you, moneybags?"

"Then maybe you should try and see where I'm coming from as well, boy."

Ichigo scowled. "Fine. Fine! Then tell me you imperious ass. I'm listening!"

Byakuya crossed his arms thoughtfully and after a tense moment, said, "Yuzu will one day grow into a fine woman. Any man would be lucky to take her into his home and…"

Ichigo's eye twitched and he held out a hand, stopping Byakuya before he could finish his statement. "Okay. That's enough. I get it."

An elegantly arched brow. "Do you?"

Ichigo sighed. "Yeah. I really, really do."

"And?"

Kurosaki banged his head against the table. "We obviously have a problem."
