Shining Rain

Chp 1 - Feelings

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Renji closed his eyes and let the wind brush his red silky hair upon his cheeks. He lay in the field of grass just beyond the Soul Society. Laying his head back, he loosened his muscles and relaxed. He had many thoughts on his mind. Mainly about his Captian, Kuchiki Byakuya. He didn't know how to feel, what to say or do. He was very confused about his feelings.

He took a deep breath and thought to himself "It's such a wonderful day, beautiful weather... Why am I like this?" As he thought that, the sun went away. Suddenly, he felt water dripping on his face, splashing off his skin. "What the.. It was just sunny, it cant be rain!" Renji thought. He opened his eyes he looked up, expecting to see dark clouds, but instead he saw none other than his Captain.

"There you are Abarai. Everyones in the pool, and they wanted me to get you so you can join. It's volleyball today. Boys vs. Girls." Byakuya said. Renji was blushing scarlet from surprise.

".. Uh.. Yeah ill be there in a few.." Renji replied. Stuttering as he spoke. He jumped up and looked his Captain in the eyes still blushing slightly. "I'll go change." He moved his legs fast so he wouldnt get anymore embarrased.

-------------------

Everyone at the pool was having a blast. They were screaming and splashing around. Renji decided to put on a smile for everyone. But eventually he didnt have to put it on, it was there naturally. He completely forgot about all his feelings about his Captain. Byakuya had to leave early because he had things to take care of. Renji was laughing at how many times the girls would gasp when the ball hit the water and got their hair wet. They werent very good sport players, but on the field they kicked ass.

"Hey, I'm bored... Oh! I know, Ken-Chan! Let's have a limbo line!" Yachiru said.

Ichigo who was sitting in a tree (he wouldn't play volleyball cause he was too immature to see girls jumping around in bikinis) jumped down, "Hey little shit, we don't even have anything to play limbo with!"

Yachiru laughed, "Yes we do silly!" she glanced at everyone who stared at her with stupidity. When no one got it she finally concluded, "We use our swords!"

"Fuck that!" Ichigo said, climbing back into the tree.

"Hm. Your just.." Yachiru turned around and glared at him, "Scared."

"No I'm not!" Ichigo insisted. "I'll play then."

He jumped from the tree yet again and got behind Renji in line. There were about 5 people in front of Renji. Rukia pressed the play button on the boom box and the game began.

The line was moving quite smoothly. Some people started to dance to the music in line and Ichigo decided to dance too. But all in one second the person who was in front of Renji just got out of the limbo swords, Ichigo fell, and Renji was walking foreward to the limbo swords. Since the floor was wet from everyone splashing in the pool, Ichigo slipped, going face first into Renji. Renji on the otherhand slipped on the water also, crashing into the limbo swords, which cut him quite severely. It all happened so fast no one knew what was going on.

Ikkaku screamed because he just shined his head and blood got on it.

Rukia broke the boom box because she was spazzing out and wasn't looking at what button she pushed.

Yumichika was running around to get a mirror to see if he was still beautiful.

Histugaya was trying to carry Matsumoto since she got drunk.

.. So basically it was all chaos.

Ichigo was attempting to get up, but failed because he twisted his leg. He managed to make his way off Renji crawling with his hands. He flopped over on his back, breathing heavily. He examined his leg and it wasnt too bad.

"Kurosaki-San!! Are you okay?!" Orohime shouted from across the pool area.

"Yeah, I think I--" But Ichigo was cut off.

Everyone was still. It was perfectly silent. No one dared to speak.

"I'm glad your quiet now." Said a familiar voice. "I could here you from back in the Soul Society."

Everyone looked up to where the voice came. There stood Captain of squad 6, Kuchiki Byakuya. He glanced around the pool area and noticed what had happened.

"Everyone, leave unless you are injured. I will deal with them."

Orohime looked over at him in a 'are you sure' kind of way. Byakuya nodded. Once everyone left, it was only him, Renji and Ichigo.

Byakuya went over to Ichigo first, laying his hand on his wounded leg. Renji felt a little bit of jelousy form inside him. "Well I'm no doctor, but I would say your fine for now," Byakuya said. "Go see Orohime if you wish, but its nothing too serious."

Ichigo got up saying thanks, and left the pool area. Renji's wounds didn't hurt so bad once Byakuya was there. Renji looked into his Captain's dreamy eyes. He loved his face, his muscles, his features.. And this time, he was positive he loved him.

-------------------

Byakuya's hands were soft and warm. They were very comforting to all Renji's cuts. Renji closed his eyes in delight but made it look like pain, not wanting his Captain to know his true feelings.

"Oh, I'm sorry.. Am I hurting you?" Byakuya said.

"No, I'm fine. Just a little dizzy, thats all." Renji replied opening his eyes and smiled at his Captain.

Then Renji closed his eyes again, and this time fell alseep in Byakuya's arms. Byakuya bent foreward examining Renji's cuts on his abs, and works his way up. Too his chest. Then too his neck. And finally to his face. Where Renji was breathing ever so softly. "I wonder what he dreams of.." Byakuya thought and bent even more closer to Renji's mouth. He could practically taste his breath. Then Byakuya placed his lips on Renji's and shut his eyes. And let it sit there, until he felt something wet on his lips. He opened his eyes and saw Renji awake, and it was his tounge asking for a way in so it could explore Byakuya's mouth. Then Renji felt a drop of water land on his cheek, and roll down his face.

He split from Byakuya and looked up, when, this time, he did see dark clouds. And it started to pour rain. Then Renji went back to Byakuya's mouth and he let his tounge back in. And they kissed for what seemed like forever, in the pouring, shining rain.
