When Love and Death Embrace (Romeo and Juliet)

By: Snoopy Girl

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or Romeo and Juliet. In this story, I'm pulling from The Movie Romeo and Juliet Directed by Baz Luhrman and the actual play by Shakespeare. For the record, Chad is Benvollio and Renji is Tybalt. Someone give me a song for this chapter, I couldn't think of one. SO, for the moment, Woman is the dong.


Enjoy!

"Well, what do you have do say for yourselves this time?" Chief Youloichi inquired, putting her feet up on her desk at the police station.

Both Renji and Chad stood solemnly with their hands clasped behind their backs.

"You both know this is the third civil brawl between you two and your little gangs." She said, reclining her rolling leather chair. Chad and Renji looked over at each other, but quickly looked else where.

"I don't understand you all. You keep fighting and killing each other for nothing. Not for money, drugs, or anything worth arresting you for. The two of you kill because someone has their hand up both of your asses. Both of you are just weak little punk bitches as far as I am concerned." Yoluichi ranted, pointing her fingers at the accused as she spoke.

"Look Cop, we have our reasons" Chad mumbled.

"What reasons?" Youluichi asked.

"They don't deserve to weild Zampato. They don't deserve their powers and abilities because they were stolen to begin with. Urahara gave people like him an easy way. For people like me, living and serving in the Soul Society, I had to work. I busted my ass for years to master my own arsenal. And, even then, I had to struggle to become successful!" Renji yelled.

"Well, sounds like red boy is jealous of big Mexican here. Let me give you some advice, different things work out for different people differently. Stop whining about it, and maybe then, you will be blessed as Chad is. Ok red boy?" Yoluichi lectured, getting up and opening the door.

"Next time, I promise to kill who ever decides to fight. If you value your life, I would grill all of this up and eat it." Youluichi stated sternly.

"Yes chief." The both said, walking out of the door.

"Kids and their guns." Yoluichi said to herself, shaking her head and closing the door behind her.


Chad walked out of the police station along side Renji.

"Just so you know-"Renji said, walking toward the curb.

"I'm not afraid of death. But, you should be." Renji grinned as he got into a red truck and slammed the door. Chad looked at the truck pull away as he shook his head and waited for his ride home.

"How did you get in trouble this time?" The shady man waiting in the truck for him asked.

"Chad, Orihime and Uryu were at the gas station. They were disrespectful, so I handled your business, Byakuya." Renji said, resting his gun.

"Hmmm." Byakuya hummed.

"Where's Rukia?" Renji asked, popping off his shoes.

"At the beach. You know, she hasn't been quite herself these days. I often hear her crying, and the traces of tears seem to have become a permanent part of her face. She sits in her room with the blinds shut and the lights off, and she sits in her room just like that." Byakuya said, staring a hole in Renji's forehead. Renji said nothing.

The car drove away from traffic, headed toward the beach. The beach was a rundown place, and in no way tourist friendly. The boardwalk was run down and so was the stage where Rukia sat with a pair of scissors. Her long raven hair blew along with the wind and shined along with the sun. Rukia didn't feel very good. She was in love, and she has fallen hard. But, she felt stupid. Rukia hadn't fallen for some guy. It was Renji she had fallen for, and they both acted as such. But, the other day, at the spot she sat in, Renji revealed a shocking truth. He only thought of her as a friend. He told her he didn't love her, and he said he never had. Rukia felt used up, and betrayed. She had never been so close to a guy before. But, when she was told, she realized that it was all a joke. Renji thought of her as a play thing, and she couldn't bare the pain. All she knew to do was light a cigarette, and puff her problems away. Boy, she was puffing, and she still needed more.

The window of the truck rolled down, opening to expose Renji's head.

"Rukia, ready to come home?" He asked, smiling an unsettling smile.

Rukia stared at him blankly. She put the scissors up to her long raven hair and cut it. She held the freshly cut strands in her hand.

"I am different." Rukia shouted as she threw the hair in his direction along with the scissors.

"I will no longer let you take advantage of my mind, my body, or my soul ever again." She sullenly stated, slinking toward the sunset. She looked back at him, and then looked away. Rukia was reborn at that moment in the sun.

Renji rolled up his window, and looked over at Byakuya.

"If I didn't like you, I would have shot you right now." Byakuya said, motioning the driver to drive away and leave Rukia to cope.


Ok, second chapter 2 down! I tried to tie in things from the movie. And, the hair cutting is symbolic to the change Rukia decides to make in responce to Renji. Rukia has NEVER had long hair. Comment, read, and enjoy!! Thanks for reading!
