This is my first story that I've uploaded to here! I thought it would never get done! I do have other stories that I have yet to type, so hopefully those will be up soon. Please be kind and Read n' Review!
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own the Bleach characters. Tite Kubo does. If I did own them... Byakuya and Renji would definantly be at it XD
Warnings: None in this chapter. Rated for later chapters.
What the-What happened? I was training... Then... Am I... Sleeping?
He paused. Wait a second... My bed was never soft.. Or comfortable... he thought, rolling on his side and hiding his face in the pillows and blankets. So soft... He felt a cold hand on his cheek. He squirmed around, then opened his eyes. Everything was out of focus. He blinked a few times, clearing up the image. He saw someone standing next to him. That someone was wearing a black shinigami uniform, a white Captain's Robe, and an off-white scarf. He looked up at the person's face. An ice-cold look and long black hair pulled back into five Kenseiken. It was his Captain. 6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki.
"You were training," Byakuya said, his face maintaining its ice-cold look, "Then you passed out from a fever, Renji-fukutaicho." Renji stared at him, "I don't remember having a fever!..." he looked around, "Where am I, Byakuya-taicho?" Byakuya crossed his arms and closed his eyes, "The Kuchiki House... My room." Renji's head snapped in Byakuya's direction, "You mean?!" he asked loudly. He looked around in schock. Ho, crap... Renji looked back at Byakuya, "Your room?" he asked. Byakuya didn't move. His silence was a good enough awnser. Renji lay back on the white bed sheets, feeling tired from the fever. "So... You brought me here, right, Byakuya-taicho?... Why not just bring me to Fourth Division?" "With my own arms," Byakuya replied, ignoring Renji's second question.
Renji turned red. He looked at Byakuya, "You're joking, right?" Byakuya remained silent. He opened his eyes and looked at Renji, "Do you have a problem with that? I could have left you there." Renji shook his head, "No! No! I don't have a problem with it! I, uh-" Renji stopped when he saw something odd.
Byakuya was... Grinning? This fever must be playing tricks on my head. Renji did a double-take, then the grin was gone. Byakuya was staring at him coldly, "Is something wrong?" he asked. Renji shook his head, "N-Nothing." "You thought nothing, so you stared at me," Byakuya said, a hint of curiosity in his voice, "I hope you know, trying to figure out what you were really thinking is going to drive me crazy," he added, sounding cold. Renji looked back at Byakuya, "I thought I saw you grin." Byakuya stared at Renji for a while, then grinned slightly, "Like this?" Renji nodded, "So you did!" he said, laughing. Byakuya chuckled slightly, then his face went cold once more. Renji's ears twitched as he head a door open.
Byakuya paused, "It seems Rukia-chan is back." Renji sat up slowly, trying to avoid an annoying headrush as Rukia walked into the room, "Nii-san, I brought Ichigo, and-" she stopped, seeing Renji. She smiled, "Hello, Renji! What brings you here?" Renji rubbed the back of his head, "Byakuya-taicho says I have a fever..." he said, looking over at Byakuya. He was sitting there, not looking at Rukia, "Would you please get some tea, Rukia?" he asked, looking at her, "Maybe Ichigo-san and Renji-fukutaicho would like some." Rukia nodded, "I'll be right back!" she said, spinning around on one heel and walking off.
Byakuya looked at Renji, a feint grin on his face. He seemed to be less cold for some reason. Maybe he's the one with the fever... Renji looked at Byakuya, "What is it, Byakuya-taicho?" he asked, cocking his head to the side. Byakuya shook his head silently. Renji grinned, " 'You thought nothing, so you stared at me.'," he said, mockingly and playfully, " 'I hope you no, trying to figure out what you were really thinking is going to drive me crazy!'."
