Chapter Two
Renji
I was pissed off not that the fact that Ichigo made me go all the way to the Soul Society for nothing, but because I missed all the action again. I missed Rukia get killed and missed Gin. That wasn't fair! I always missed things like this. Why did she have to be so stubborn?
I walked over to Ichigo, Orihime, Rukia, and Captain Kuchiki. Rukia seemed almost completely healed but Orihime looked a bit shaken. Her skin was paler then usual (Is that even possible?).
"Inoue, are you okay?" I asked. Orihime lifted her hands to her chest and held her palms facing me.
"Yes! I am perfect! Don't be worrying over me!" Ichigo and I stared a glance with each other. We both knew she was hiding her weakness, but she was just like Rukia and stubborn when it came to admitting to pain.
I lifted my eyebrow. "If you say so" I placed my hands behind my back and stretched my legs a bit.
Captain Kuchiki and Rukia walked toward me. Ichigo stayed with Orihime talking about something that must be human related. Captain Kuchiki seemed shaken up as well. Almost losing his sister would have set Byakuya off. Usually because he had worked so hard to make sure that she was safe then suddenly Gin shows up and almost ruins his plans for her.
I smiled at Rukia, who seemed tried. She returned the smile anyways and walked with her brother through the gate. Should I go, or should I stay? I liked pissing off Ichigo but Rukia meant a lot to me and I loved hanging out with her. Shit! Screw this! I am going to stay with Urahara!
I flash-stepped toward Urahara's shop. It was pretty dark, and I wasn't expecting anyone to be awake, but to my surprise Urahara did answer the door. He seemed wide awake. Did this guy ever sleep?
"Abarai-kun!" he yelled. A vein popped out of my head.
"Who said you could call me Kun?" I yelled at him not caring if I woke up the whole neighborhood.
"Fine. Renji-kun" Urahara hid a smile, while fanning himself.
Yoruichi slowly walked toward us. Her hair was a complete mess, and her eyes were barely open. She rubbed her eyes and stretched her arms in front of her.
"Renji Abarai. What are you doing" she paused to yawn and went on "here? Shouldn't you be back in the Soul Society or at least with Ichigo and Rukia?"
"Nah and I don't want to stay with either of them. Do you think I can stay here for a few days? Until I have time to think?" I asked as nice as I could.
"Nope" a single word flowed out of Urahara's mouth.
Yoruichi hit Urahara over the head. "Don't be rude, Kisuke! As I remember last time you said you en-"
Urahara cut her off by pushing a piece of bread in her mouth. "I guess you can stay" he smiled.
I sighed in relief. I was getting tried of Urahara's little jokes. Good thing Yoruichi was there to keep him in line.
Sorry it's so short, but I didn't want Renji's point of view long like Rukia's. The mystery to why Gin wanted Rukia dead before Byakuya will be revealed in the next Chapter, and I hope you like it!
