Harumi giggled softly as her and Renji walked around Karkura Town. Renji sighed," Are we going to have to freeload Urahara?"

Harumi snorted. "Absolutely NOT! I'm fricking loaded Renji! Unlike you I don't spend my paycheck of freaking sunglasses! You're such a dum dum! silly!" Renji was about to retort but then just shut his mouth. After Harumi had been leading them somewhere for a while she stopped and turned to Renji. "I want a piggy-back!"

Renji looked at her like she was insane. She was small but she had serious muscle and was heavy. "No way! You're too heavy!"

Harumi looked insulted," Did you just call me fat?!"

Renji saw she was mad and smiled," Well..umm..no..well you see...-"

Harumi was red with anger. "Because I'm a captain and in charge here. Renji-kun, I order you to give me a piggy-back!"

Renji groaned," No fair!" Either way her crouched down and let her on his back. She cheered in triumph and ordered him around to an apartment. Renji was tempted to say something about her being even heavier in a gigai, but didn't.

Finally she shouted," YAHOO! Where here! Drop me now!" He sighing in relief and dropped his pink haired landed on her feet and walked into the building and took the elevator to the top. She reached the penthouse and smiled. "Good to be back!" She used a inaudible kido spell and the door opened. The place was huge. Renji's eye almost literally came out of his head.

"Damn! How did you afford this?!"

Harumi shrugged," Captains get paid pretty darn well." Renji sighed and jumped into the couch. Harumi scratched her head and looked at him. "So much for manners..."Harumi sighed and jumped onto the recliner and put her head back. She watched as Renji slowly fell asleep.

Dream/Flashback

A young pink haired girl watched as a red haired boy was being held down by some other guy. He was pinned. Suddenly the one boy yelled. "Since you took now, now you'll have to pay."

The young Harumi took a rock from the ground and flung it at the guy. It hit him head on. "Why don't you pick on me over here! He's obviously helpless!"

The boy smirked as he looked at her," So a girl wants to get it too huh?" He got off of the young Renji and walked toward her. Young Harumi dodged his every punch with ease. He gritted his teeth and landed one in her stomach. She grunted and bit her lip. Just then she spun on her toe and a right light surrounded her. She sprouted cat ears and a cat tail. Her nails grew into claws. She hissed at him. "Listen if you promise not to bother anyone ever again, I'll let you go. If you don't I promise you'll pay." THe boy nodded, terrified. He ran in the other direction. Her tail and ears went back in and her nails went back to normal. She smiled and walked over to Renji.

He backed away. "Stay away!" He yelled.

Looking quite hurt Harumi gave a small smile and nodded. "Don't worry. I understand." Renji watched in shock as she walked away. He stood up and ran to catch up with her. When she saw him she blinked a couple times and cocked her head. "Hiya! I'm Harumi Heinzenru!" Renji knew the name, that was a noble family.

"What's a noble doing out here?!"

Harumi shrugged. "Apparently my nanny said my dad said I was a disgrace or something like that so they dropped me out here like two weeks ago!" she giggled a little at Renji's confused face. "But don't worry, I don't mind. My daddy never liked me much anyway!"

Renji cocked an eyebrow. "What the heck was that back there?!"

Harumi tapped her chin then gave a mischievous smile. "That is for me to know, and you to find out!" She then hit him in the shoulder. "Tag! You're it!"

Renji looked confused. "Tag? I'm it? At what?"

Harumi's jaw dropped. "You don't know how to play tag. Well I tap you. Then I run and you try to catch me. Then you tap me and say you're it. Then I have to do the same."

Renji smirked then hit her in the shoulder. "You're it!" He then took off with her close at his heels.

End Dream/Flashback

Renji grunted awake and looked as he saw Harumi curled up and sound asleep. She had always been kind of strange. She acted like there wasn't even a care in the world. Even he, who wasn't the brightest in psychology, could tell something was wrong when he looked at her eyes. They were always watery like they were about to cry. He laughed as Harumi pawed at mid-air in her sleep much like a cat would at a mouse. Harumi jerked awake. "Huh? What? Where'd the mouse go?!" She turned to see Renji and smiled sheepishly, blushing a tad. "Oh hi Renji-kun! What are you doing in my dream? Do you know where that mouse went?"

Renji scratched the back of his head. "Um...you're not asleep anymore Harumi..."

"Oh! Okay!"

"You know Darcy is near here..."

Harumi hissed. "What?!"

Renji smirked," Jealous much?"

Harumi through a book that was on the table at him. "I'm not jealous!"

Renji dodged the book. "Whatever you say..." Harumi pouted and blushed furiously.

Suddenly the lock clicked and a brown haired girl walked in. Darcy. "Hi Renji." She said in a sickly sweet tone.

Harumi glared "How'd you get in here?!"

"I'm not that stupid. I used a kido spell."

Renji mumbled," She probably picked the lock..."

"Aw Renji. you know me so well." Darcy sat next to him, practically on his lap. "Renji, how could you afford this." Harumi rolled her eyes, Darcy was practically purring. She hated the whore with all her heart.

"Umm...Harumi bought it..."

Darcy acted shocked. "Really? The pipsqueak? She bought it? I can't belive they'd let her buy it. The human society really has gone down the drain." She placed a hand on Renji's shoulder moving closer. Even though Harumi looked ready to blow Darcy was completely calm. Harumi practically screamed as smoke could almost come out of her ears.

"I'm going to bed!" She announced and stormed into her bedroom.

Renji obliviously asked," What's her problem?"

Darcy shrugged, almost innocently," I don't know. She can be so unstable. I don't know how you can stand her." Renji nodded and looked away from Harumi's bedroom door. He had never seen her act like this. Could it be, jealousy? No, she just probably ate something and her stomach hurts and it put her in a bad mood. That's it. Renji sighed and smirked at Darcy.
