Tattoo, Chapter 2?
Oh lord, you guys... Lord, lord, lord. You guys... you guys make me stare at something I was supposed to leave alone.
I don't know the ins and outs of Bleach. Thats why I stuck with 1 chapter...
But looking at these reviews, I realizing that I wrote what I look for in a story, and I don't want to deny anyone else that right so...
I don't know if this'll turn into a full blown story, but goodness gracious, I'll try something.
Bleach isn't mine...

"I d-don't understand." Rukia had gone pale with the sight before her. Her friend. Renji Abarai....
He was an Arrancar.
"This doesn't make any sense!" Uryu shouted angrily. "How long has he been around, and no one knew about this? Are you sure? Not even Shigekuni Yamamoto knew? Did he keep it a secret?"
"Come come now~" Renji, underneath his half mask, sported a nasty grin. "Why so worried?" He tilted his head at an impossible angle "I'm still your friend, correct? Abarai Renji?"
"I don't know what the hell you did with Renji." Ichigo said with glare "But you sure as hell better fix him."
"Fix him?!" Renji spread his hands wide, black marks running across his body, They all swirled around his midsection, where it formed a black circle, then a hole. "Don't you see?! This is the real me! I am back to normal. All these years went by and all of you came to accept the Renji you thought you knew." He laughed, crackles of black and red energy sparking around him. "But this... This is the truth."
Orihime covered her mouth in shock. Chad remained silent. Everyone stared.
"So, a test of friendship comes." Renji grinned again. "Are we still friends... Even though I am a monster?" He walked towards the group, and everyone visibly tensed.
"This isn't you... This isn't the Renji I know. You aren't Renji."
"The Renji you knew?" The arrancar tilted his head up, looking down at the others. "You can thank Aizen for that."
Another horrified look crossed Rukia's face, but then she became brave. "Come back to the soul society. We can fix you. We can-"
"You don't get it do you?" Renji asked. "You honestly don't! I guess I'll have to show you. Oh well, I prefer it this way." The red-black sparks crackled voilently around him, as if he was generating his own storm. He drew his Zanpacto and jumped, aiming directly for Rukia.
"RUKIA!" Uryu yelled, running for her. Chad did as well, and Orihime screamed.
Rukia did not move. She remained brave-faced in the face of imminent danger. "RENJI, SNAP OUT OF IT!"
a clash of steel was heard, and Renji found himself face to face with Ichigo and his zanpacto.
"You heard her." Ichigo said, low with anger. "Snap the fuck out of it!" Ichigo threw a punch, but Renji easily jumped back and dodged.
"You'll never see me for who I really am, will you?" Renji dodged Chad lunging at him, jumping off of the half-Mexican's shoulder and ending up mid air. He then activated his zanpacto, creating a offensive shield against the Quincy arrows that flew at him. Renji, laughing wildly, attacked Uryu, Who retaliated with more arrows. Renji blocked, and now Ichigo hauled himself back into the fight.
"Getsuga Tenshou!"
Renji's face twitched in annoyance, his grin still present as he blocked that attack as well with a flick of his sword after grabbing stopping it with his hands. "That's what I don't get about you all." The dust cleared, Renji was standing on the ground, Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad on the defensive, ready to attack if necessary. Rukia was also out of her gigai, and Orihime's hair pin glowed with energy.
"Me... and Ichigo, are the same."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Ichigo asked with a half snarl, obviously upset that there was apparently something wrong with his friend.
"Ichigo, you have a mask, don't you? Your spiritual pressure isn't of those of a human, or even a soul reaper. You even become more powerful with your mask on. Your attacks..." Renji held a fist out, fingers up, then opened it. There, part of Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou lay in his hand, it's black energy thriving. "Your attacks are those of a monster as well." He chuckled. "You're all different, minus maybe Rukia. Uryu's Quincy clan used to destroy hollows in stead of saving them. Orihime gets her power from a hair clip. Chad? HA, His arm SCREAMS hollow. So now that I'm different... how does that make me the bad guy, hm?"
The group was momentarily stunned back into silence.
"Because..." Ichigo said with a growl. "We'd never intentionally hurt anyone."
-End-
UM... IM SORRY. THIS IS NOT TURNING OUT THE WAY I WANT IT, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT ANYMORE... LOL
