Two weeks later ~ Reader's POV
Music:
"At first I was afraid…I was petrified…Kept thinking I could never live…Without you by my side….But then I spent so many nights….Thinking how you did me wrong…And I grew strong.......And I learned how to get along….And so you're back….From outer space….
I just walked in to find you here….With that sad look upon your face….I should have changed that stupid lock......I should have made you leave your key….If I've have known for just one second…..You'd be back to bother me….
Go on now go….Walk out the door…..Just turn around now…'Cause you're not welcome anymore….Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye….Did you think I'd crumble?....Did you think I'd lay down and die?....Oh no, not I….I will survive....Oh, as long as I know how to love…..I know I'll stay alive….I've got all my life to live…I've got all my love to give….And I'll survive…I will survive, hey hey"
The Foundation members have come together to celebrate in girl friend Style, Karin, Yuri and Hisa's completion of classes, they (Karin, Yuri, Cheri, Hisa, Yuzu, and Rukia) have gathered together at the Fuji Estate….
This is the first time they have come back together since taking their vacations weeks ago, each are laughing, joking and, sharing pictures ….They are waiting for Tammi … she is very late…
Rukia and Karin are standing on the balcony overlooking the ocean ……
Rukia: [looking around, then looking at Karin] 'So Travesuras, This is where you spent your honeymoon?'
Karin: [Grinning] 'Yes, it is the perfect place, the maids are very discreet, and they leave nothing for you to ask for… they spoiled us rotten'
Rukia: [looking timid] 'Do you think, Ne Sana will allow Ichigo and I to come here?"
Karin: [rolling her eyes] 'God Conejos, she is your Ne Sana, did she not select the material for you wedding dress?' (Rukia's code name "Conejos" it means Rabbit….)
Rukia: [looking up] 'Yes'
Karin: 'Did she not stand up to Byakuya, about the wedding arrangements you wanted?'
Rukia: 'Yes'
Karin: 'I think it is clear your Ne Sana will give you the world if you asked'…. [Playfully shaking her] 'So she will say yes if you wish to come here for your honeymoon'
Yuri walks onto the balcony, she has a look of concern on her face as she looks over the rail, as if looking for someone. She looks out at the ocean, and then to the road, Karin and Rukia turn to her…
Karin: [looking at Yuri] 'what is it Mora'
Yuri: [eyes are nervous] ', she has not arrived… She is an hour late… she has never been this late before'
Karin: [Eyes now alert] 'Has her plane landed yet"
Hisa: [walking out] 'She did not take the plane, she is coming through the gate'
Cheri: [walking out with cell phone] 'she is not picking up'
Yuzu: [walking out, her eyes reflecting real concern] 'What does this mean?'
Rukia's eyes becoming determined, as she projects from her Gigai, pulling her Zanptukuo, she looks to Yuri and Karin, saying 'come let us look for her, she then looks to Hisa and Cheri saying 'stay here with Preciosista and the Gigai' (Yuzu's Code name "Preciosista" it means precious)
As Karin and Yuri project from their Gigai, Rukia jumps from the balcony to the beach, calling forth the gate…..
Karin and Yuri stand next to Rukia as the gate opens, they hear an intense battle taking place, they look at each other then vanish into portal...
Tamiski's Journey – Reader's POV
One hour ago....
She had just spoke to her husband, his voice sounded a little disappointed that she was not coming directly home, but he understood she was having a girl friend congratulations party for Karin, Hisa, and Yuri at the Fuji Estate; they had finished all of their requirements to graduate and where moving back to KaraKura Town to stand up the foundation offices with Rukia and Yuzu.
She promised him she would be home as soon as possible, he became quickly upset, when he learned that she had sent Cheri ahead to finish setting up and she was travelling alone. She assured him everything was fine, and since she was using the gate she did not feel the need to have Cheri wait for her, she kissed him through the phone and disconnected …
She pulled out her Zanptukuo and opened the gate; as the princess of the Shihoin Nobles, she like Rukia had the ability to easily move within the portal; and now since she was no longer considered an exile she desired to use this form of transportation more, due to the FanBoy threat she encountered while in the human world, and the fact it would now allow her to spend time at home with her husband and little sister Rukia….
She was late and she was rushing through…. She had in her arms several different things for the foundation members…
She did not expect it, when it happened, so she did not see it coming …
as she approached the exit for the estate, they attacked her, almost knocking her out , she screamed and fell to the ground hard, when she looked up she saw four assassins, one moved to attack her, but she side stepped him easily;
She asked why they were there and who sent them; they looked her and smirked saying nothing… she defended herself, but would not counterattack;
She only said she did not want to hurt them; suddenly the large one shunpo behind her and hit her hard to the ground while saying, with distaste 'how can a pure breed, the heir of the Shihoin Clan… the Clan of assassins be taken so easily'
She screamed in pain, as she fell to her knees from the blow…. she felt the blood start to steep from her side, she as in pain… she tried to hide it from her husband, but she knew he must already know something was wrong…
Then the other assassin came in front her; she moved in time, but only to be struck again by another, each time they would say the same thing, 'How can the Assassin princess be so easily defeated'
She continued to side step them saying, 'she would not kill them and they should leave' suddenly the larger one attacked her, while saying 'Tamiski Sama, we are now done playing with you, it is time for you to die…'
She looked at him perplexed asking 'why…. Why do they want me dead' ….
He now stood with the other three in front of her as if passing judgment, saying 'You know why we are here'
Hearing these words she looked at him hard saying, 'you would do this now…… why!!!!!"

The Sixth Division ~ Byakuya's POV
One Hour ago….
He had just spoken to his wife, and as usual she had him upset, she was moving around unescorted, without her guard…. As much as he loved her, she drove him crazy…..
Hence the nickname ~ "Renegade" appropriately given to her by her Godfather
He had decided not to discuss it on the phone, but to wait until she returned home….
He now sat, thinking about her…She had not been home, to Soul Society since the one day the two of them had returned; returned so she could face her father….
He rolls his eyes, and instinctively rolls the ring around his finger on his left hand symbolizing his marriage, as he recalls that whole situation...'The clans where in an uproar, over the fact they had reconciled, and she now stood as his wife' …
The day he brought her home, he was proud of her as she stood before her father in the large circular greeting room of the Shihoin Manor, Her Father sat up ten steps with all the nobles of their clan sitting around the room looking down on her.
He shivers as he continues to think about it and the fact that clan always made him uneasy, they trained Assassins, as apart of the 2nd division Special Ops, Yoruichi, Tamiski's older sister and Sensei was the captain before Soi Fon, took pride in their killing skills.
Tamiski was different, she went the over way… she was a healer, she never practiced the assassin way and never took the ritual of Blood shed; it was because of this she caused great anger in her clan, and it was because of this she was chosen to wed Him.
Only once did she come close to completing the ritual of blood shed and that was when she almost killed Soi Fon, only to be stopped by him……
They spoke afterward, she told him, for her to take a life would cause problems… problems he now realizes she never again spoke of.
He leans back into his chair grinning; as he again thinks about the day they returned…. 'They pressured her … they wanted our marriage annulled, when she calmly asked why … they never spoke a word… I watched her face, her eyes; it was like she was reading their thoughts….they never spoke a word; she just said,' she would not annul our marriage, and she would stand by me as my wife, with that she was dismissed by her father… and we left'
As he now begins to stand, it was something about that visit and the eye contact between Tamiski and the Shihoin nobles was bothering him…. As if in the back of his mind, he knew it was not over…
Byakuya, is suddenly hit with a stabbing pain to his side, and staggers, then again another blow across his face and back; he is leaning on his desk, he senses her;
She is somewhere in the portal, she is surrounded and being attacked; just as he locates where in the portal she is …the alarm sounds; and a black butterfly is in front of him ordering him to go investigate the situation in the Portal with the 10th and 5th Taichos…
As they all shunpo through the gate they hear Yuri, Karin, and Rukia screaming, 'RENEGADE'

The Awakening:
15 mins ago….
She defeated three of the four assassins; she did not kill them…. They were unconscious … what was left as the large one, she was bleeding bad and hurt… she watched him... she kept saying, 'I will not kill you, you can not make me do this' …
He grinned at her saying, 'Princess you will do what you must to survive, the time has come that you can no longer sit on the sidelines … you must take your place'….
She looked at him in shock, saying, 'you would give your life …. For this … why'
He looks at her saying, 'you fool…I will not sacrifice myself, you must defeat me and kill me… or because you have proven yourself unworthy, I will kill you', stepping slowly towards her he says, 'now we will decide …. If you live, and so you understand, my orders are to also kill your husband, after killing you'
Her eyes became large, as she looked into his eyes, she knew he spoke the truth, he would kill Byakie….
She looked at him, her eyes quickly reflected a sadness which could not be imagined by anyone, saying, 'I will not allow you hurt my husband'….
Now standing straight and looking up at him, her eyes now reflecting conviction she says. 'If I must take your life to save his, so be it'…
He looks at her, grinning as he says, 'if you think you can'…
She now smirks at him, with the arrogance of the true Shihoin Princess saying, 'I do not kill because I choose not too, not because I can not'…
She walks around him now saying, 'would you like to know the real reason why I choose not to kill, other than I loved the man that was chosen for me' ….
She suddenly shunpo around him faster….faster…. faster…. He is amazed, as he watches her; he starts to think he misjudged her…….
she continues to speak, her voice is soft and hypnotic, 'I will tell you the real truth' she stops she in front of him, her strikes are deadly and accurate; he does not see them coming, it took three blows, and as she delivers them she says seductively in his ear as he realizes he is a dead man, 'No ONE was a Challenge for me' ….
He falls before her feet… he is dead
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reader's POV
Present …..
As the three women, approached her ….she was laying covered in blood barely conscious; the four assassins where dead; they see the horrific sight and scream, "RENEGADE'
Yuri looks around, she feels eyes watching them, knowing what had occurred she says nothing, as tears quietly rolled down her solemn face, she sits on the ground and gently pulls her little cousin's limp body into her arms, as she wipes the blood from her face, she whispers something into her ear, causing her to bring a faint smile to her lips.
As her eyes start to roll back into her head she sees him now standing over her, his face is that of concern, but she sees, that his eyes glow with the emotion of anger, she tries to reach out to him only to be overcome by darkness…..
