10 Years Later
Characters: TatsukixRenji, and a few other characters…
Disclaimer: If I owned Bleach, I would be a lot happier, but since I don't…
Rating: T-for occasional swearing and teenage stuff.
Tatsuki's eyes were wide and her head was buzzing with confusion. She looked at her right hand. Sure enough, there was a delicate silver ring with a ruby set in the middle.
Renji was worried. They had married two months ago and she had never behaved this way. Well…maybe at first, she did. What was wrong with her? Was she playing a joke on him?
Tatsuki stared at the ring. Now, she was outraged, confused, shocked, AND frightened. How could she marry that…that Abarai Renji! He had pulled so many pranks on her during high school and they had big disputes and…
She finally noticed what she was wearing. She was in her underwear and a white tank top. She blushed and covered her chest.
"Tatsuki, stop scaring me. What's wrong?"
"Shut the hell up, you pervert. First, you take my clothes off and then you slip this ring on my finger. Then, you act like you're married to me. What a joke."
"What? Tatsuki, I'm not joking. It's been 10 years! I've grown out of playing jokes. Stop trying to scare me. We're MARRIED, you hear me? MARRIED."
Tatsuki's mouth gaped open. This guy was taking it TOO far! She glared as if she was drilling holes through him and she headed towards him, hands made into fists.
Renji was just as confused as Tatsuki when he felt a painful blow to his face and he was falling on to his bed. He clutched Tatsuki's arms and pulled her down with him. He pushed her under him and pinned her arms to the bed, making sure her legs weren't free to kick him.
"Tatsuki, listen to me! Snap out of it and come to your senses. What happened? Don't you remember anything?" He barked. Tatsuki struggled to be free, but this bastard was stronger than the last time she had fought him…
He swept her from the bed and pressed her close. "Tatsuki. This is all a big joke, right?" He whispered. Tatsuki growled and dug her teeth into his shoulder.
"YYEEEOOOOOOWWWWW!" Renji yelled.
Tatsuki let go and pulled the blanket from under Renji. She wrapped it around her and fled through the bedroom door and down the stairs. Then, she saw it.
There it was. On top of the big-screen T.V., there was a picture frame, holding a picture. In the photo, Renji was in a tuxedo, holding her bridal-style. Tatsuki, in the photo, wore a crimson dress. Her hair was a bit longer. And she did, indeed, look older. She dropped the blanket and stumbled towards the T.V. She snatched the frame from the top of it and took in everything from the photo. The ring, the dress, her…smiling…
Everything Abarai Renji had told her was true. She was married to him.
