From Sunrise to Sunset

Summary: Renji hasn't got aany idea who he spent the night with. So far he has only one clue - it's apparently a guy. And he needs to find out before the rumour gets everywhere, which means he's got less than a day to figure it out.

Warning: shounen ai (that's guyxguy, but nothing too risqué). Not in this chapter, but later on I'm sure. I'll let you know when.

Pairing: RenjiX??? Not telling just yet!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach. Does anyone, I wonder…


The clock on the bedside cabinet read 5:20 a.m. Most people in Soul Society were still sleeping, especially those who had stayed up a little too late to enjoy a little too much sake the night before.

Wake up.

He stirred on his pillow, but didn't wake.

I said, wake up.

He rolled over and muttered something, but his eyes remained resolutely closed.

Renji! Awaken at once!

Groaning, Renji managed to force his eyelids open. From the pale glow that streamed in through the curtains, he guessed it was very early in the morning.

Look around, hissed Zabimaru's voice from deep inside of him. Have you noticed? You have failed once again, Renji.

Renji sat up, ignoring the pounding in his head as he did so.

'With a hangover this bad, why the hell would I wake up?' he growled to the voice in his head, 'what're ya talking about now?'

You are clearly still drunk. Look. He is not here, is he?

The pain in Renji's forehead seemed to cease for a second, then returned at full force. Looking to the side of him, he saw that Zabimaru was right. There was, indeed, no one there. The tousled bedclothes and dent in the pillow, however, suggested that the bed had been previously occupied by more than himself.

Who the hell? he thought to himself, a feeling of panic starting to gather in his chest. Someone had been in his bed. The only reason someone would be in his bed was if him and said someone had slept together. And Zabimaru had said… that the someone was a guy?

Oh shit.

You remember then?

No, he damn well didn't! Who was this unknown male he had spent the night with?

Izuru? Shuuei? Ikaku? Or, God forbid, Yumichika?

All of them were possible, he supposed. He had been with them all last night, which was the reason he now had this shocking hangover. But none seemed really likely.

Izuru might have, to try and take away the pain that Ichimaru had left him with, but Renji was sure that Kira missed his captain way too much to start playing around just yet.

Shuuei was a possibility. The guy did get, you know, cravings pretty often. But he was a definite red blooded guy, and he had a very obvious crush on Matsumoto. So that wasn't too likely either.

Ikkaku? Nah. He hated guys who 'swung the other way' as he put it.

But then again he was friends with Yumichika, the gayest man in Soul Society.

Yumichika…please no, Renji prayed. But when he thought about it, Yumichika often said how much prettier he was than Renji. He probably wouldn't…but you never know…

And on top of that, Zabimaru had said he'd failed. Failed at what? He'd never had feelings for any of them. Ok, so he knew that he was bi, but he did not have a crush on any of his friends. In fact, the only person he liked at the moment was Rukia..

'Zabimaru!'

What now?

'Who is it?' Renji demanded, 'who was here last night?'

Tsk. Have you not guessed, Renji? If not, I certainly won't tell you. It will be an interesting pastime for you, trying to find out the mysterious man who you—

'Ok!' he yelled, 'Don't wanna help me? I'll find out myself! It's not like I'm embarrassed by it or anything!'

He winced and clutched his head. Yelling when hungover, he discovered that morning, was not a good idea.


Eeek! Who could it be? XD

Please R&R, I'll update as soon as possible. Look out for the next chapter!
