I'm with Will-O-Wisp on this one, especially since, if Ryuken was set to marry Masaki, them being blood related in any way wouldn't make sense (Kubo may be a troll, but I don't think he'd dabble in the arts of incestual writing). I am sticking with the theory on, aside from the intended arranged marriage that never happened, that Masaki was adopted into the Ishida family, and Ryuken began to treat her like a younger sister; thus making Ichigo and Uryu adoptive cousins, as I had previously stated.
