A Broken Heart mends with time
Grimmjow growled in annoyance, fuckin' meetings are too long. He sighed and shifted trying to listen to what that bastard was saying but coming up blank when he tried to remember what had been said in the last ten minutes. Waste of my time, he thought. Glancing over toward Ulquiorra, he noticed see the 4th espada was enraptured by Aizen's speech. Bet he sucks his cock too. Grimmjow leaned back in his chair, resigned to a long, boring meeting.
Suddenly an immense wave of reitsu crashed over him. Grimmjow sat up in shock trying hard to breathe. He looked toward Aizen, wondering if the man noticed him daydreaming, but Aizen's face showed surprise. So if it's not him…
"Szayel report," Aizen coolly said, a small frown marring his features. Szayel quickly pulled up a screen.
"It seems an unidentified hollow with a large amount of reitsu, has attacked the southern part of Las Noches." Szayel frowned. "Its signature is almost that of a Vasto Lorde, with a few differences…" Szayel looked up and shrugged. "It could very easily just be a new Vasto Lorde."
Aizen nodded. "I want all of you to go and check it out. Bring the new hollow back, preferably in one piece. Dismissed." Ulquiorra quickly sonidoed out followed closely by Zommari. Annoyed Grimmjow sonidoed as fast as he could to the south side of Las Noches, What, Bastard-Sama can't be bothered to help? Fuck, I just want this done with so I can just go to sleep, tch, Starrk's been rubbing off on me. Grimmjow looked up in surprise when the wall in front of him suddenly exploded. Rubble rained down causing dust to rise. Coughing Grimmjow looked up into a familiar hollow mask. "Ichigo? What the hell happened?"
The boy looked like an actual Vasto Lorde. His mask had changed, two red stripes ran down the area between his eyes and he had horns that looked like those of an aurochs jutting out the sides. His hair was about hip length and he had what looked like tufts of fur on his wrists and ankles. All that was left of his clothes was his hakama, which looked like it might fall off at any moment.
Grimmjow hesitated, at a loss as to how the boy had ended up here of all places and as to why he looked more like a hollow than Shinigami. "Hey, shini…" Grimmjow frowned, well; he couldn't call him that when he looked the way he did. "Ichigo! What the hell are you…?" Grimmjow stopped, when he heard the low sounds coming from the boy. He was growling at him! "Wha…?" He watched in wonderment that quickly turned to horror when the boy raised his hand and created a Gran Rey Cero. "Oh hell no! Don't you…"
A Half an Hour Earlier
Ichigo quickly shunpoed home, grinning like an idiot. He couldn't wait to get home and see Renji. After a hard night of killing hollows, he just wanted to be able to see his boyfriend. Ichigo stopped outside his home and smiled. He had finally asked Renji to go out with him after having had a crush on him for a while. He laughed remembering how he practically stalked Renji for the day then cornered him after school and asked him.
Ichigo winced, oh yeah, that screamed of desperation, probably didn't help that he had followed Renji everywhere like a love sick puppy. "Sure, I'd love that Ichigo." Ichigo let out the breath he hadn't known he was holding in. "Really?" Renji nodded and laughed. "Yeah, I've liked you for a long while also Ichigo." Renji leaned in, his breath ghosting over Ichigo's face. "A very long time."
Ichigo pulled himself out of his thoughts when he heard Rukia yelling. "What do you mean you slept with him? I thought you were going out with Ichigo!" Ichigo stopped, a feeling of dread rising within him. He usually didn't do this but desperate times call for desperate measures. Quickly jumping onto the roof, he lay down above his bedroom window listening intently. "Well, I mean, it was…" Renji didn't seem to know what to say. Ichigo frowned and scooted closer so he was slightly hanging off the roof. He could see Renji sitting on his bed with his back to him and what looked to be Rukia standing in front of him judging by the limited edition Chappy socks she was wearing.
"You asked out Byakuya while you were still going out with Ichigo! Not only that, I find out from my brother that you two slept together! How long have you two been together?" Ichigo could hear Rukia sigh. "Ichigo's going to be devastated when he finds out." Renji winced and rubbed his arm. "I'll give it to him easy, Ichigo won't have to know I asked out Byakuya, and the only ones who know I'm going out with Ichigo are you, me, Kisuke, and Ichigo. As long as you never mention it and Kisuke never mentions it, Byakuya won't ever know I dumped Ichigo for him, and Ichigo won't know I dumped him for Byakuya. It'll all work out." Ichigo pulled himself back up, tears rolling down his cheeks. He felt so stupid and used.
He knew of course that Renji had harbored feelings for Byakuya; it was so easy to see. The way Renji had always looked at Byakuya when he thought no one was looking, the pride he held when he spoke of his Captain.
Ichigo closed his eyes and slowly started rocking. He thought of the things he had always saved himself for and he gave to Renji because he thought the other had also loved him.
His first kiss…Renji leaning in, a chocolate dipped strawberry in his mouth, a smile on his lips. Ichigo was crying harder now, he could feel his heart being ripped apart. His first date…They were in soul society, at one of Renji's favorite places to eat. They were laughing and smiling. Just the two of them in their own little world. It hurt, the pain just kept coming. Ichigo could vaguely hear his hollow saying something, but it wasn't registering. Their one month anniversary…Rukia got the two of them a special cell phone so they could talk to one another. Ichigo spent the whole time teaching Renji how to use it. Being patient even when Rukia threw her notebook at Renji, calling him an 'unteachable baboon', and when he arrived at home it was to a text message that read…I love you. Let's do something fun, just the two of us. Ichigo felt hands on him; soothing, cool, he leaned back into their embrace. The first time he had sex…Renji holding him as he thrus…
He was screaming in his mind, crying out to the only person who was listening. What was he? Just another conquest? Did he mean anything? Anything at all? Suddenly a hand was covering his eyes. "Hey King, why don't ya let me teach that fucker a lesson? I can make him wish he had never dumped ya for that prissy captain." He felt his hollow hold him, like a parent who sooths their hyperventilating child. Ichigo hesitated. He wanted so badly to make Renji pay, for making him feel like he was garbage.
"I promise I won't kill him, just rough him up a bit, Ne? Come on sleep, when ya wake up I promise ya'll feel better." Ichigo felt his hollow kiss the back of his neck. "I'll hurt all those who hurt ya…I'll make ya feel better. I promise." Ichigo slowly nodded. Allowing himself to drift off slowly into darkness.
Shiro growled as he took over Ichigo's body, that pineapple headed baboon had better make up a good excuse or he was really going to die. With that thought in mind he leapt off the roof and quickly made his way to the front door. Shiro stopped when he spotted his reflection in the window; golden irises with a black sclera meet his eyes, there was no way in hell he would pass as Ichigo. Frowning Shiro pulled his powers back a little and was pleasantly surprised to see the black turn to white, but to his annoyance his eyes still had a little bit of gold flecks in them.
Shiro shrugged deciding it didn't matter. He reached for the door, but before he could open it the door was wrenched out of his hand. Rukia stood in front of him her head turned back toward the stairs. "You better tell him Renji!" Rukia turned around and stopped having spotted Shiro. "Ah, Ichigo…um." Shiro watched as she fidgeted. He carefully kept his face in Ichigo's signature scowl.
"What are you talking about?" Rukia winced. 'bitch should have beaten that pineapple head up.' Rukia opened her mouth to speak but just as quickly closed it. "I should be going, Renji's upstairs…" She seemed to hesitate as if she wanted to say something but again just stopped and with a nod toward him, Rukia was gone.
Shiro closed the door behind him. "Hey, Renji are you there?"
"Yeah, I'm upstairs, your dad left with your sisters to go and watch a movie." Shiro grinned, no one home, no one to hear the bastard scream. Grinning like a maniac Shiro made his way to their room. Renji was sitting on Ichigo's bed, fidgeting with one of Yuzu's stuffed toys. Suddenly Shiro could feel Ichigo pull himself up out of their world to watch. Don't do anything King, let me handle this.
"Something the matter Renji?"
The man looked up and smiled weakly at Shiro. "No, just thinking,"
"About what?" Shiro pressed, What the hell, the bastard isn't even going to say anything?
Renji opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. "Nothing at all." Shiro frowned and watched as Renji set the toy down.
"Nothing?" Shiro ground out, feeling his anger rising. Renji looked up in surprise.
"Is something the matter Ichigo?" Renji stood up and wrapped his arms around what he assumed to be Ichigo, noticing how tense he was. With a snarl Shiro shoved Renji away.
"You bastard, you weren't even going to say anything?" Renji stopped. Ichigo hadn't heard what he had said right? Shit if he did than I'm in trouble, I was hoping I could have both of them.
"What are you…?" Renji gasped as Shiro slammed his fist into his stomach. Falling to his knees Renji gasped for breath. Shiro grabbed Renji's hair and pulled him up to his feet.
"You fucker, Ichigo heard everything, he was so heartbroken thinking you were going to dump him for that prissy captain, but apparently you must have figured you could get away with dating the both of them if neither found out." Shiro grinned at the look of horror on Renji's face when he figured out who he was talking to or more importantly what he was talking to. "And do you know what…" Shiro leaned in and Renji couldn't help but notice the hollow looked a little insane, "I'm not going to kill you, but I will make sure you won't ever be a seme to Ichigo or anyone else ever again." Shiro threw Renji at the wall, enjoying the sound he made when he hit it.
Shiro grabbed Renji again, hauling him up. He smashed his fist into his face, chest, stomach, anywhere he could reach. Renji was screaming now, as blood poured out of his broken nose, as his ribs groaned under the onslaught. Just as suddenly as he started Shiro stopped. "I wonder…" He mumbled to himself. Clawing at his face Shiro was pleased when he was able to pull down his mask.
"Hey Renji." Renji looked up in fear, wondering what was happening. All he could hope for now was that someone had felt his spiritual power spike and was coming to investigate. "I want you to see this." Shiro brought his hand up and pointed it at Renji enjoying the fear in the other mans eyes. "See me become a real Arrancar! Not even Ichigo has ever seen this side of me!" Howling with delight Shiro took a step forward feeling his power wrap around him. Watch this King. Shiro howled as his body transformed fully.
In this new form, his power was immense; almost nothing would be able to stop him, and yet the transformation wasn't stable. He hadn't ever had a chance to test out his new form so he really couldn't control it. Instead he was moving on instinct. Although he had a little control, it was a struggle to force himself not to devour the shinigami right then. With a snarl he grabbed Renji and quickly sonidoed outside. He tossed Renji away like a ragdoll and was pleased to note he went crashing into a nearby house.
Renji pulled himself up gasping for breath. Shaking, he watched in fear as Ichi…no, no matter how much it looked like him, that thing wasn't Ichigo. Renji backed up as the monster took a step in his direction. It laughed, its voice deep and guttural, filled with a malice that Renji knew would either kill him, or seriously harm him. Renji hoped for the latter, he really didn't want to die just yet. It raised its hand up and pointed it at him. Renji quickly shunpoed out of the way as a cero struck where he had been standing sending asphalt flying everywhere.
"Ichigo! Renji! What…?" Renji looked up in surprise to see Rukia and the soul reaper who was stationed in Karakura staring at the two of them. Renji wondered what he looked like. Bloody and beaten, at the feet of what looked like an Arrancar, a high level Arrancar. Rukia growled and shouted out Sode no Shirayuki, Shiro blinked in suprise at the white zan-pak-to, she slashed at the hollow, who with a snarl grabbed her sword to Renji's and Rukia's surprise.
Shiro was annoyed, not only did that Bitch not say anything, she had the impudence to attack him when he was teaching Renji a lesson! Shiro raised his hand to strike her when he heard Ichigo's cries. Shiro sighed. King would more than likely hate him if he killed the girl off, or at the very least harmed her in any way. Over protective brother...Shiro snorted.
"Fine, we'll leave," Rukia's eyes widened when she heard Ichigo's voice coming from the Arrancar. Shiro leaned in "But I want you to tell Renji, that we will come back for him." With that Shiro opened up a gargantuan and slipped through, leaving behind a horrified Rukia and an ashamed Renji.
Shiro stepped out of the gargantuan and stopped. He could hear Ichigo's voice whispering in his mind, asking him why they were there. Yet, Shiro couldn't answer. He had felt energized, when he was beating up Renji. Had enjoyed every minute of it. But underneath all that had been a strange feeling. A feeling of sadness, of something missing. Underneath that was lust, a desire to either claim, or be claimed. It didn't matter, as long as his mate was strong enough, fast enough, and above all else, truthful.
And truthfully, after some careful consideration on both their parts, neither he nor Ichigo would have minded a threesome, but only if no one else was involved with anyone else, it would have to be just those three. Yet, Renji wouldn't tell him about Byakuya, about wanting him. So how was he supposed to trust him?
Shiro snarled feeling the anger and lust growing. He turned his head towards the place where all the strong reitsu was coming from, a massive white fortress, Las Noches. Howling in anger he raced towards the place.
A/N: I decided to make Renji be the bad guy because well, it made more sense in the story if he was…I felt kind of bad though. Also I would like to take this time to tell you that I did try to make this a drabble…but it kind of hit me with a bat and ran off...and it's still running. I have maybe two or more chapters to go. I apparently can't do drabbles…most of them are turning into a long story…its really kind of sad.
