Wow this is my first fanfiction please don't hate even thought it is terrible. If you want to read on and enjoy if you can, it is going to be multi-chaptered and I'll try to update quickly.

"Abarai, have you finished your paperwork yet?" asked the noble man, neatly piling his paperwork.

"Not yet cap'n, I only have a few more to do." replied the fiery red head not bothering to do any of his paperwork.

Byakuya sighed, "Abarai, you need to focus on your work, and as an incentive to get you to work you can't go home until all of your paperwork is done." The ebony haired captain got up from his desk, with all of his work completed.

"But captain, I'll be up half the night doing work! And I promised Matsumoto and Ikkaku I would go out with them tonight!" Renji complained as usual, hoping to get out of work so the he could go out drinking with his friends. "C'mon let me go out this one time," the spiky haired lieutenant pleaded "I promise I'll be on time for work tomorrow!" Byakuya considered this offer knowing that Abarai was never on time for work and most likely wouldn't keep his promise.

"I suppose you may leave work early just this once," the usually emotionless man had a sudden feeling of sympathy for his lieutenant. Lately he had been compassionate and sympathetic towards his fiery vice captain for unknown reasons.

"Thanks captain!" Renji jumped up out of his desk, grabbed Zabimaru, and ran off excitedly effectively tripping on the way out. Abarai never thought his captain had a soft side, but he'd noticed that captain Kuchiki hasn't been punishing him as harshly when he was late. "Maybe captain does have emotions, although it would be nice if he showed them more often," Renji muttered to himself on his way back to his apartment to clean up and maybe get something to eat before he went out tonight.

The tattooed soul reaper started heating up his stove so he could make some ramen before he left. While he was going to grab a ramen package he got a text from Matsumoto

Where r u? U were supposed to be here 10 minutes ago

Damn it! Why did they change the damn time! We were supposed to meet at 6:30. Renji thought angrily grabbing his jacket and looking at the clock 6:41 Oops maybe I am a little late… he thought jokingly.

Renji used flash step to get to the bar where they always met, when he walked in he could tell Matsumoto and Ikkaku were already drunk. The spiky red head sat down next to his friends and ordered some sake to join the drinking fest.

After a few hours of drinking and being obnoxious Renji started to head home. He decided not to use flash step for that would only make him feel worse; he decided to walk around the forest before he went home. He wandered around for a while and eventually wound up at the Kuchiki Manor.

"I wonder why I walked here?" Renji wondered out loud assuming no one could hear him.

"I was wondering that as well, Abarai" a calm, all too familiar voice rang out of the darkness.

"Uhh, umm sorry Captain Kuchiki… I was just walking around and wandered over here…" Renji mumbled, for some reason he felt flustered when his captain called out to him. "I guess I will go on home, sorry for bothering you," the lieutenant bowed to the figure in the darkness and hurried away.

On his way home Renji thought about why he would walk to the Kuchiki manor.

"Usually I have some common sense and would know not to go near Captain after I've been drinking," Renji thought about it, but not being a man of thinking he let it go and just decided he wandered there by accident.

As the fiery soul reaper neared his apartment the scent of something burning drifted his way, and in the distance he could see smoke where his apartment should be.

"What the hell!? Is something burning over there?!" He exclaimed even though no one was around to hear him. He quickly used flash step to get to his apartment all feelings of being drunk dissipated. When he arrived where his apartment should be were smoldering ashes of a building. Walking through the burned remains of his apartment Renji finds a few unharmed items and takes them before someone or something else does. He stood still for what seemed like an eternity realizing all of this was his fault. He was the one who left the stove on, he was the one that burned his apartment building down.

Well that was the first chapter... Maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. Please review for more chapters and constructive criticism is welcome just help me make it better!
