Fight Inside- RED
Enemy, familiar friend
My beginning and my end
Knowing truth, and whispering lies
What I fear and what I hide
Is it worth what I've gained?
We both know how this will end,
But I'd do it again.
"What in hells name is going on here?!"
The angry voice came from behind me and I slowly turned around and glared at the newcomer. Crimson red hair in a high ponytail. Black tribal tattoos on his forehead. Scowl on his face. Lieutenants badge with a camellia on it…. Oh shit….. This man is Renji Abarai. The glare dissolved from my face and was replaced in that of shock.
"Do I really have to repeat myself?! What in the hell is going on here?!" Lieutenant Abaraihollered.
"Sir… this girl… she just came in here and… and attacked us. She cut Ganekibi down." Said the blonde haired guy.
"I see…" Renji said as he turned to me "what's your name girl."
I directed a hard glaze toward the three men who were standing there looking as dumbfounded as I felt. Of all times, the Lieutenants has to show up… now?
"Senka Kura of Squad 5." I straightened my back and looked him dead in the eyes as I calmly spoke.
I don't know much about Lieutenant Abarai but I'm sure he would probably listen to his own men over me, but I'm going to make damn sure he hears my side of the story, if it's the last thing I do.
"You're the one Momo sent? You're late." he questioned.
"Yes, I was to report to you for my mission, but as I was trying to find you I ran along-"
"Momo sent you to get a mission, not attack my men. She also said you were a couple of weeks fresh from the Academy. Do they not teach you the rules, or are you just-"
"I didn't just attack them!" I burst out. "I walked into the doors and they were the first one's I saw! I asked them where I could find you, multiple times, but they just ignored me. Finally I got their attention, a couple of words were exchanged, and then the big guy hit me. Like hell I'm just going to walk away after someone knocks me to the ground!"
"She didn't even ask for you sir! She came in here-" The blonde piped in.
"Tosai, take Ganekibi to squad four before he bleeds out, and Okinao you can go with us to see Captain Kuchiki so he may hear both sides of the story."
My heart slammed in my chest. C-captain… Kuchiki…! "B- but lieutenant I didn't do anything wrong! HE attacked ME! I'm sorry I was late, really I am! And I'm sorry that I got in a fight but what was I supposed to do-" I stammered.
"Your fate isn't for me to decide, it's up to the Captain. Now hurry your asses up or do you want me to restrain the both of you?!" He growled.
"N-no sir." We both stammered as we followed behind him. I couldn't hold myself back from glaring at Okinao. It was the first time that I really got a good look at him. All the other times he was just a background man while my main focus had been on Ganekibi. Okinao had a long slender face and a pointy nose. His dark battle hungry eyes seemed to pierce through my soul, but I didn't waver. I almost wanted to stick my tongue out at him…
He's one of the main reasons I'm all wrapped up in this mess! I wish I had more power so I could have taken down that fat heads sidekicks as well… And now I have to go see the Captain of the sixth division…
As we were walking I looked over my shoulder, back at the way we came. I kind of wish I could redo that moment and walk past those group of men the first time they ignored me. Would have a lot less crap to deal with. Something caught my eye. It looked as if someone was following us by darting from building to building.
Probably just some dumb division 6 member that has nothing better to do with their lives than to get on the new drama. Even though the person that followed us annoyed me, I still kept casting glances behind us.
"Thinking of running away?" Okinao mockingly said.
"You would like that wouldn't you." I shot back.
"Hey, you two had better keep quiet back there." Renji interrupted before Okinao could respond.
I looked behind me once again, but this time I caught a full body glimpse of our pursuer. Just a scrawny girl with light brown shoulder length hair and thin rimmed glasses.
"Pfft." Just a dumb kid, I knew it.
Lieutenant Abarai and Okinao looked back at me with a questioning stare. Probably wondering why I made the noise.
We soon arrived at our destination. Captain Byakuya's quarters. It was odd how his barracks were separated from the rest of his squads but he was a noble so I guess it's acceptable. The lieutenant nodded to the guards who quickly opened the gate for us and questioningly watched us pass.
Is everyone in this squad nosy or what?! I scowled at them as we walked by. Lieutenant Abarai led us through the maze of hallways until we stopped in front of a great set of gold doors.
"This is it." The lieutenant said as he raped on the door. "Captain, may we come in?" The lieutenant didn't wait for a reply as he pushed the large doors open.
The captain of squad six sat behind a large desk, sipping tea and looking at a couple of papers clutched in his hand. When he saw us, the papers wrinkled slightly, obviously not happy to see us. The man had pale skin, long black hair, and slate grey eyes narrowed in an icy gaze. He set his cup down and nodded to the Lieutenant to state his business.
"Captain I was doing my rounds when I caught this girl slicing up one of our men, Ganekibi. He was with two others. Okinao, who is here with us and Tosai who took Ganekibi to Squad four. They both have different stories to tell, and I-"
"I'm Senka Kura of squad five. My lieutenant, Hinamori, sent me here to get a mission from Lieutenant Abarai and as-"
"Don't interrupt the lieutenant! The Captain hasn't even asked you to speak! Our squad has rules, but maybe you wouldn't understand that since you don't have a Captain!" Okinao furiously yelled.
I burst out laughing. "You talk of rules, but yet you did the same thing I did! I apologize for interrupting, lieutenant Abarai and Captain Kuchiki, but I figured you would rather hear the truth first." I turned to Okinao. "Don't you dare talk about our squad like that. Our Captain was gone before I even joined, I've heard all the stories about what he did so good riddance to him. What he did does not make any difference to how our squad acts! You talk as if I have no morals, and yet you're the one that lied to your lieutenant trying to cover up yours and your friend's mistakes. You wouldn't just change your story, so you would tell those same lies to your captain."
"How DARE you call me a liar!" The man screeched "I ought to finish what Ganekibi started!"
Before the man could make a move Byakuya appeared in front of him. "You will do no such thing." Sounding almost bored. He opened his mouth to speak again but before he could there was a knock at the door.
The little woman I saw from earlier was standing there half hidden behind a door. All four of us turned to look at the newcomer. Her eyes got bigger behind her glasses and she started fidgeting with her Shihakusho.
"Ninth seat Shirogane. What are you doing here? Were in the middle of something." The lieutenant stated.
"I… I…. Saw what happened." The small woman whispered as she looked down at her feet.
