Hiya, it's me with a bleach RenjiXOC fanfic. Check it out.

(In the Shinigami academy)

"Okay class, can you tell me what the answer to this is?"

"Me sir, please, I know the answer." Renji said, frantically waving his arm in the air.

"All the more better yet, don't you realize that to come here and write it on the board everyone around you must get up?" The old teacher said, turning around.

"Oh, right." Renji said, trying to hide his disappointment when he heard to stuck-up, hushed voices.

"He has no common-sense. What an idiot."

"I know right. But then again, what can you expect of people from the extreme parts of Rukongai? I've heard that he and his companion, that girl Rukia, are from the 78th district."

"My my, What are they doing, putting them with nobles like us? Still, at least they're better than that Utada girl. She's from the 80th district of north Rukongai. What a shame!"

Renji clenched his fists and said nothing. Why were they always judged according to where they came from?

He didn't noticed two brunettes staring at him from the corner of their eyes.

(After the lesson)

Renji was the only one sitting in the class room, other than Rukia and another girl packing their materials.

"Oy, Renji." Rukia said.

"Ha ha, I wonder what I'm doing here, dreaming. Everyone's left by now." Renji said, with an embarrassed laugh.

"Uh…..Renji I just wanted say that….I like you hyper-actively wanting to answer so continue to hyper-actively want to answer." Rukia said, flashing him an equally embarrassed smile and thumbs up

The other girl in the class couldn't help smiling.

"Umm….you're from the students from the 78th District of West Rukongai, right?" The girl asked, walking up to them.

Renji and Rukia both turned around to look at her. She was quite pretty, from both their perspectives; she had shoulder length straight black hair with a red ribbon tied as a hairband. She was quite a bit taller than Rukia yet a head shorter than Renji. She was dressed in the academy uniform. She was very slender and was looking at them earnestly with her dark green eyes.

Despite all of this, Renji still rashly took her as an enemy.

"Yes we are. Though it's none of your business." He said rudely.

"Renji! Don't be so rude! May we enquire who you are?" Rukia said with a smile.

"Hai, I'm Miyuki Utada, I'm from the 80th district of North Rukongai."

"So she's the one those two girls were talking about."

"Ohayo, Miyuki-san, I'm Rukia and he's Renji Abarai."

Miyuki smiled and shook hands with Rukia and then proceeded to do the same to Renji when he looked at her apologetically.

"Gomensai, I….well I…."

"…You thought I was one of those stuck ups who claim they're of noble birth. Well, now you know I'm far from it."

Renji nodded.

"Don't you have any friends?" Rukia asked her.

"No…they all think I'm….bad influence."

"That's must be horrible, at least Renji and I have each other. She must be lonely. Yet she seems so nice." Rukia thought

"Well your days of loneliness are over." Rukia and Renji said in unision.

"Naniiiiiiiii….." Miyuki felt herself being dragged by Rukia.

"This is where we eat." Rukia said triumphantly.

The place was an apple tree with apple all over it.

"We can always trust this tree to give us a positive feast."

Renji and Rukia immediately plucked of two juicy apples and eating when they noticed Miyuki staring at the tree.

"Nani? Why aren't you eating?" Rukia asked her.

"I….don't know…."

"You know what, I'll let you blame me if we get caught, seeing as you're such a scaredy-cat." Renji said.

"I am not! For your information, I can be just as daring as you two. How do you think I made it this far alive if I hadn't taken risks. I am not a softie! And I'm not as low to blame you for something I did."

Miyuki then smiled mischieviously and in a blink of an eye disappeared and reappeared with a box of sushi.

"Where did you…." Renji asked, amazed with the sudden change of character, when he noticed some classmates of his, quite a way from them, frantically searching for something.

"Sushi, anyone?" Miyuki laughed in the quiet way of hers and hand it around. Her character fluctuations were really amazing.

"Arigato." Rukia and Renji said in unision yet again.

"No, I should be thanking you. I'm really very grateful….."

"…Grateful for letting me be your friend."

(One fine morning, two years later)

"Hey Rukia! Hey Rukia, where are you!" Renji shouted when he burst into her room with Miyuki only to find it filled with foreign people.

The foreigners looked towards the two who had entered and immediately gave them the obvious message of disgust and detestment, looking down on them.

"Well, Rukia-san, we will be awaiting your answer." An old man said on his way out.

"Hai, arigato, gozaimasu" Rukia said, bowing down to them.

A man with an expensive scarf around his neck and white head pieces in his hair, followed behind the others.

Miyuki immediately sensed his immensely high reiatsu, which would have normally overwhelmed an ordinary shinigami, however Miyuki was anything but ordinary. Byakuya himself could sense her and Renji's vast spiritual power.

Miyuki, who was described soft and gentle by most, was fearlessly looking directly at Byakuya.

"You have high reiatsu, sir." Miyuki said bluntly, bowing with an air of bitterness around her.

Byakuya was surprised at the sudden comment but did well not to show it. He merely passed her, as if she had not spoken.

Renji himself was highly astonished.

Miyuki watched Byakuya walk out of the door and close it behind him. Before closing it though, he looked and frowned at Miyuki out of the corner of his eye.

Renji trudged over to Rukia and spoke to her.

"Rukia-chan, who was that and why was he here?"

"He…he….he came from the Kuchiki clan. That man with white head pieces. He said…..wanted to adopt me….as his imouto. He said….that if I accept then he will immediately put me in the Gotei 13"

Renji stayed frozen for a second and then burst out laughing.

"Man, are you lucky! The Kuchiki clan is one of the four noble clans, aren't they? Gosh, this is the chance of a lifetime! Imagine being put in the Gotei 13 immediately. I am so jealous! Isn't that great Miyuki-chan" Renji said earnestly.

Rukia stayed silent for a while and then finally spoke.

"I see. Arigato" And with that, Rukia left sadly.

"Nani? Did I say something?" Renji asked, bewildered.

"No. But I have a feeling that Rukia's a little upset over something." Miyuki answered thoughtfully

(In the forest)

"Oy, Hinamori-san. Don't go so easy with me." Renji called out to the panting girl.

"Who said I'm going easy on you?" Momo said.

"Renji-san, I'll fight you. Hinamori-san is tired." Izuru said brightly.

"Okay then, bring it on." Renji gritted his teeth and charged.

"Momo-san, would you like to train with me." Miyuki asked politely.

"Hai!" Momo said promptly. Despite the fact that Miyuki was a quiet, sober kind of girl, she put up an excellent fight. The most interesting thing was, she never used her zanpakutō. It had never been witnessed by anyone, not even Rukia or Renji.

Miyuki, who had a natural talent for Shunpo , despite not having any proper training for it, immediately disappeared and reappeared behind Momo. Momo turned back and snapped out her Zanpakutō's command.

"Snap, Tobiume!"

She then shot fireballs towards Miyuki who gracefully avoided all of them.

Just as Miyuki was about to counter-attack, Renji called out to her.

"Oy, Miyuki-chan, there's Rukia-chan, let's go and meet her."

"Hai, Renji-san." Miyuki answered quietly.

"Rukia-chan! Long time no see, hai?"

"Yeah Renji! It's nice to see you again. Although I see Miyuki every day." Rukia said, pleasantly.

"Ohayo, Rukia-sama." Miyuki said softly.

"Rukia-sama! Don't, I'll always be Rukia-chan, like before to you."

"Actually, I always used to call you Rukia-san and Renji-san."

"Yeah, you're right. Well, don't. Call me Renji-kun, hai?" Renji said grinning at her.

Quite careless and casually Renji put his arm around Miyuki slim shoulders. Miyuki eyes widened in despair as she blushed and immediately moved away.

"Nani?" Renji asked Rukia when she gave him a strange look.

"Well sayonara. I'll be going now. See you soon." Rukia said, waving and walking away.

"Sayonara, Rukia-chan." Renji said, waving hyper-actively.

Renji then thought how much the three of them had changed physically. Rukia had grown slightly taller and had a much more serious expression on her face now. Her hair had also grown, yet unless you had known her earlier you wouldn't have made it out. She always carried her Zanpakutō, Sode no Shirayuki, with her. Renji had grown drastically taller, had developed a few muscular features and now carried his Zanpakutō, Zabimaru, as well. Miyuki, surprisingly had not changed that much except her height, which was now still a head shorter than the current Renji yet a lot taller than Rukia. Her hair remained the same shoulder-length. She never carried her Zanpakutō. The only thing that had changed in her, despite the fact that it had changed in all of them, was the clothes. They had now ditched the Academy clothes and wore Shinigami outfits as they were now part of the Gotei 13. Renji had been but under Kuchiki Byakuya in the 6th Division, Rukia under Ukitake Jushirō in the 13th Division and Miyuki at first, for a long while, under Unohana Retsu in the 4th Division, but then transferred to Ukitake's 13th Division.

"Miyuki-chan, how come your hair is still the same height? Is it stagnant or something?"

Miyuki looked at him in surprise and then giggled.

"Of course not, I cut it."

"Oh, It's okay then."

"Don't you like it short?"

"No, it's not that, I just thought that if you grew it then you'd look even prettier."

Miyuki blushed. He'd stressed quite a bit on 'even prettier'

Just as they were about to go back to Izuru and Momo, a fellow male shinigami appeared holding a glass of water close behind Miyuki. Since she didn't know he was there she turned around casually, causing the guy to spill water over himself.

"Oh, I am…." Miyuki was cut off from her apology as the guy screamed.

"You worthless idiot! Couldn't you see that I was behind you! This is what happens when you come from a bad background! You dare do this to me! Me! The 10th seated officer in the 11th division! It's a position you can keep dreaming about!"

As he raised his hand to strike her, Renji stepped in between the man and Miyuki.

"Want to get creamed?" Renji asked him, glaring intensely.

"N-no please Renji-san, It's….." Miyuki stammered

"Don't interfere. I can't tolerate people who insult my friends. Try it once more and I'll injure you bad." Renji growled, his hand on Zabimaru's hilt.

The man was now quite taken-aback when he saw Renji had a Zanpakutō. He went away, cursing under his breath.

"Are you okay?" Renji asked her.

"Hai, I'm fine. Renji-san, please you didn't have to…."

"Yes I did. Why can't you stand up for yourself anyway? You could totally kick his ass with your amazing Shunpo. Yet, why don't you fight?"

"I….have seen a lot of things Renji. You've seen them too. Yet, since you were with Rukia and those friends of yours you talk about, you probably didn't notice that much. But I've had time, time to see what this terrible thing life really is. I don't want to hurt people, good or bad. They must have a reason for doing what they're doing. I've realized that to exterminate that reason I must go to the core and kill the root cause. I've slept on roofs when there was a thunderstorm going on. I've eaten with the dogs from garbage bins. I've seen it all. Women and adolescent girls getting raped, Babies being trampled on, little kids working to death, and the blood….the blood was horrible. I've actually felt it on my feet, on my arms, legs my face. It felt like I was swimming through it. I don't want to hurt anyone, good or bad.…..I want to change it. Change it for everyone, make a better life for those poor people there. Give them a sense of what warmth, what kindness, what help feels like. I'm going to protect those people with my life. That's my reason for being a shinigami. Change!"

"….And for that you must not miss training sessions." A voice from behind said. Renji and Miyuki turned around to see who was there.

"Ohayo, Yuki-onna." Kaien Shiba grinned.

"Kaien-dono!" Miyuki exclaimed in delight. Kaien was, by far, her favourite adult. He didn't treat Rukia and her differently. Despite the fact that he came from a moderately noble family, he always treated her as an equal.

"You were due to train about ten minutes ago."

"G-Gomensai, Kaien-dono."

"No need to panic. Come on then, off to train."

"Hai, Sayonara, Renji-san."

"Sayonara."

Kaien led her to their training spot and proceeded training her. They were blissfully unaware of a Shinigami watching them.

(After the training session)

"Arigato, gozimasu. I really did learn a lot in Shunpo."

"Hai, Yuki-onna. See you." Kaien said, flashing her a smile and then casually walked away.

Miyuki stayed, packing her bag and then proceeded to leave when she sensed an immensely high reiatsu, higher than anything she had ever sensed.

"Who is it?" Miyuki said, anxiously getting into battle stance.

An old chuckle came from the woods.

"Want to take me on, youngster? Go ahead." The old voice said humorously.

"Yamamoto-taichou sama! Gomensai, I didn't…"

"That's the problem with you Miyuki. You're just too nice. I wonder if, in between a battle with your worst enemy, you would feel sorry for him and heal him."

"My worst enemy is hate, sir. If I were able to heal hate then this world would be a paradise."

The old man chuckled even louder this time.

"Well said, child. What if I could help you attain that?"

"Nani, could you? How?"

"This strictly confidential information. I am entrusting you to accept my offer. Your potential in both swordsmanship and Shunpo is immense. Yet, I regret, there is only one person who is excellent at both."

"Who?" Miyuki asked curiously.

"The lady who was banished by Soul society along with her best friend. Yoruichi Shihoin, Princess of one of the four honorable clans, The Shihoin Clan."

"But I…she was banished and….."

"I'm aware of that, I'm the one who ordered to banish her, yet I don't think that have made the right choice." Yamamoto then hesitated and spoke.

"Utada Miyuki, You are to go and live in the living world and, while training under the guidance of Shihoin Yoruichi, Kill hollows attacking the real world. We have a need for strong ninja now and a handful of 26 good shinigami is not enough. That is your assignment. I see great potential in you, youngster."

"Hai…. I shall train under…..Yoruichi-sama….." Miyuki said hesitating.

"What is it child? Do you hold a grudge against Yoruichi?"

"No…I'm nothing but a child from the extremes of West Rukongai, and she's…near Royalty."

Yamamoto chuckled yet again.

"Yoruichi…..is personality wise, a female Kaien Shiba." Yamamoto said, reassuring her.

"Then…I take the assignment."

"This assignment is strictly confidential.

"Then, you shall leave tomorrow at the break of dawn. I wish you luck, child."

(That evening)

Miyuki took a walk through the districts of Rukongai. Even the District she had spent most of her pained childhood in, sleeping with the dogs and taking the left -over food which were thrown to the strays. Unlike Renji and Rukia, who had each other and the other companions, she hadn't fit in with the other kids like her. She would never have become a shinigami if it wasn't for a kind stranger who had offered to show her the shinigami academy.

Miyuki toured around as she sensed everyone around her gazing at her, some with contempt, some with admiration, due to the fact that she was wearing her shinigami uniform.

As she was finally making her way back to Sereitei she heard bickering.

"I told you not to call me Shiro-chan!"

"Become a shinigami and then I'll call you Hitsugaya-kun."

Miyuki eyes widened. Wasn't that Momo-san's voice? She gathered enough courage to look inside.

"Konban wa, Miyuki-san" Hinamori said, waving hysterically.

"Konban wa." Miyuki replied, stepping inside.

Miyuki looked around and then saw a short white-haired boy stood beside Hinamori with a pouting face.

"Konban wa, Hitsugaya-san." Miyuki said with a pleasant smile on her face.

Hitsugaya was taken aback by the respectful use of his name, but nevertheless, glad.

"Konban wa,uhhhhhhh…."

"Miyuki…..Utada Miyuki."

"Konban wa Utada-san." Hitsugaya said.

"Momo-san, wasn't the 5th Division supposed to have a meeting with Aizen-taichou?" Miyuki asked her politely.

A look of horror and distress crossed Hinamori's face.

"Oh no! I don't want to disappoint Aizen-taichou."

Hinamori grabbed Tobiume and rushed outside.

"Sayonara Shiro-chan! Tell Obaa-chan I'll be back for dinner."

"Ah, No need to comeback, bed-wetter Momo." Hitsugaya said lazily.

"Bed-wetter Momo?"

"It's her nickname."

"Oh, I see. Well Hitsugaya-san, I ought to be going too. Sayonara."

"Ah, Sayonara." Hitsugaya said.

Miyuki then walked back to Sereitei when Kiyone came running to her.

"Miyuki-san! There's bad news for you!"

"Nani?" She asked, puzzled.

"It's Kaien-san…..he's…..dead." Kiyone looked down.

Miyuki said nothing for a while. She was just too shocked. She then spoke slowly.

"May I…see him?"

Kiyone nodded and led her to the place where Kaien lay. Jushiro sat there….grim and occasionally coughing. Rukia was next to him…..her head in her hands….crying.

Miyuki sat down beside Rukia and for awhile they just sat there…..hugging.

"I…Killed him…..Miyuki…..I killed him….." Rukia sobbed.

Miyuki didn't cry. She just sat there, her eyes and throat dry. She'd the whole story from Jushiro. She didn't blame Rukia, not one bit, for she knew that if she had been in Rukia's place, she would've done the same.

"The thing about death is….You don't know how it happens, Why it happens, When it happens. It just…happens. Today I'd left to tour Rukongai, never once thinking that in the next half an hour, I'd find Kaien-san dead. Please don't cry, Rukia….chan." Miyuki said, looking down.

Rukia didn't speak, she just kept on crying. Miyuki didn't want to tell Rukia she was leaving, but Yamamoto had told her that the only one she could tell the true reason to was Rukia. The others were to be pacified with some kind of minor excuse. And she wasn't leaving for just any amount of time, she was leaving for about ten years which was very long even in Soul society.

"Rukia-san, there's something I want to tell you." Miyuki said quietly, after Rukia had calmed down.

"Nani?" Rukia asked her quietly.

"Rukia-san, I must…..I must leave for a mission…."

"What kind of mission?"

"One in that place called Karakura town."

"For how many days."

"Actually Rukia-san…it may take a few years."

"Nando!"

"Please! Don't be angry at me! I have to leave because Yamamoto-taichou sama told me to go and train with Shihoin Yoruichi and also protect the place from hollows in the same time."

"Of course I'm not angry but…" Rukia bit her lip.

"…..What will I do without you?"

"Please, I'll be back soon. Don't worry, I'll be with you always."

"When…..are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow at noon."

"What about Renji?"

"You're the only one I'm allowed to tell. Please tell Renji something else for an excuse. I don't want to lie to anyone, especially Renji-san….but please." Miyuki looked at Rukia pleadingly.

"Hai. Please take care of yourself and be safe." Rukia hugged Miyuki tightly.

"I will, Sayonara, Rukia-san. Good luck….with your new family." A sharp tone crossed her voice while she said the last few words.

"Why…..Why did today have to be such a bad day? First I kill the person who probably cared about me the most. And then I find out you're leaving for years." Rukia sighed.

"You didn't kill him. You saved him. You saved him from being humiliated, saved his pride, his dignity and his integrity from being destroyed. And he didn't care…" Miyuki smiled

"….He still cares. He's not dead, he's in here." Miyuki lightly touched Rukia's chest.

Rukia reflected on her words silently and bit her lip, trying to stop crying again. Miyuki squeezed her hand comfortingly, an action which helped her more than a thousand words would've.

"Sayonara….Miyuki"
