Chapter 3: Don't You Ever Wake Up!
Several Hours Later…
"Ehh…good god almighty," said detective Shunsui Kyouraku as he stood in the doorway of the blood-splattered church. "Looks like a freakin' firing squad came and went through here."
"Umm, Shunsui sir," said his young partner Nanao Ise, "you're standing in some blood."
He looked down at his shoe and gently wiped it off on the side of one of the non broken pews. He looked up and observed the gory scene that lay before him and his partner. Nine dead, bloody, bullet-ridden bodies were thrown about on the wooden floor. As the other officers were placing numbered yellow cards next to the discharged bullet casings, Ise walked up to a body that laid in the middle of the floor.
"Hey I think this is the groom Shunsui," said Ise. She turned to look at her partner, but made a pungent face when she saw him leaning over the body of the bride, gawking at her. "Wow…she was such a pretty girl…"
"SHUNSUI!"
"Coming Nanao," he responded.
"I swear, that man…ughh…" said Nanao in her head.
"Take a look at this captain," she motioned him over to the groom's body. "Looks like he suffered quite a beating, but the bullet to the head is probably what did him in," said Nanao.
Shunsui nodded along with his very intelligent partner, but his attention quickly wandered back to the bride.
"DAMNIT SHUNSUI!!! STOP STARING AT THE DEAD BRIDE!!!"
"Fine, fine," said Shunsui.
He walked back over to Nanao, and leaned over to get a better look at the dead groom's face.
"Hey you, though you're dead and all," he said as Nanao looked at her partner perplexed.
"Nice job scoring the hot chick!!" he said with a cheesy smile and a double thumbs up.
SPLAT!
"Well sheesh kid, it was just a complement," said Shunsui as he wiped the blood filled spit from his face.
"Nanao, if you would please…"
"Yes sir," she responded.
"HEY SOMEONE GET EMT IN HERE!! WE GOT ONE THAT'S STILL ALIVE!"
----------------------------------------
The following evening…
In one of the quieter wards of the hospital, there laid the groom, deep in a coma, while outside the usual summertime rain and thunderstorms carried on, though it was sounding more turbulent than usual.
At the entrance of the El Paso General Hospital, a man with blood-red hair entered wearing a black suit, while carrying an umbrella that almost matched the color of his hair, and a small black gym bag. He boarded an elevator and headed for the seventh floor. Once he arrived, he briefly ducked into an open supply closet, grabbing a bunch of items and throwing them in a small trash bag.
He then ran into an un-occupied handicapped bathroom across the hall. Inside he took off his suit, exposing his long hair and lengthy black tribal tattoos that traversed his built chest to his back, and only leaving on his boxers and dress socks. He went into his gym bag and put on some pale blue doctor scrubs and a pair of black and white sneakers. Reaching into the bag from the supply closet, the red-head pulled out a syringe, and then a small vile with a clear substance inside from his black bag.
"Chappie's Nighty Night Surprise" was written on the label on the outside of the vile.
The red-head shook his head. "This girl's deadly, but still stupid when it comes to clever names," said the man out loud to himself. He opened up the syringe wrapper and stuck the needle into the vile, drawing up the clear concoction. Once the syringe was full, the plastic covering was placed over top of the needle, and the man stuck the syringe into his pocket. He checked himself in the mirror before he left, and went back to the black bag and pulled an all white bandana and a black hairband. The man tied his hair back into a red-spiky ponytail, and tied the bandana around his forehead, covering up the additional tribal tattoos.
The man ventured back out into the deserted hallway, and headed down towards the darkened part of the hallway and headed towards room #15, where the comatose groom now slept.
Enter Renji Abarai, member of The Deadly Zanpakutou Assassination Squad.
Codename: Zabimaru
Renji entered room #15, which held a single patient. The target was lying in the bed in the middle of the room. He walked over and leaned down at the sleeping target, who was also his rival, and soon to be victim.
"Ya know, pretty much since day one, I've never liked your ass, but that doesn't I've never respected you. You were probably the best out of all of us…probably, the key word here, since I'm the one standing here about to kill ya, and you're in the bed already next to dead. So here's a gift from me, to you."
Renji pulled out and uncovered the syringe, and then his cell phone started ringing.
"Ughh, just when I was about to finish the job," said Renji as he put the syringe on a nearby tray. He knew it could only be one person calling him at THIS moment.
"Hello Rukia."
"How is he?"
"Comatose," said Renji with a sly little grin.
"Where is he?"
"Well I'm standing right over him of course."
"Good boy." A small chuckle escaped from Rukia.
"Renji," she sighed. "You're…going to…abort the mission."
"WHAT!!??" he screamed into his cell.
"We owe him better than that."
"YOU DON'T OWE THIS BASTARD ANYTHING!!!!!!"
"Could you keep your voice down," she said with a deadly, serious tone.
"You don't owe this bastard anything…," said Renji quietly as he began to pace back and forth around the room.
"Excuse me, but I believe I'm the one who gives the orders around here my friend," she retorted.
"Shit babes, wasn't I the one who was sent down here in this hell of a storm to kill off Mr. Sleeping Beauty right here!"
"RENJI!" He shut his mouth then and there.
"The five of you beat the crap out of him and didn't kill him. Even with this little bun in the oven, I shot him in the head, but somehow he kept on living. Now you saw that for yourself, didn't you? We did a lot of things to this man, but, if he ever wakes up, we'll just do it again."
Renji leaned up against the window and nodded.
"Though, the one thing we won't do is sneak into his room in the middle of the night...and kill him in his sleep, like some two-bit criminal…because that kind of act…would lower us. Don't you agree, Mr. Abarai?"
Renji was done with this conversation.
"Yeah," he sighed.
"Come on home, babe."
"Affirmative."
Renji hung up the phone and placed it back into his pocket.
"Bet you thought that was hilarious didn't ya," said Renji out loud. In return all he heard was the beep of the machines that the Groom, Ichigo Kurosaki, was connected to. Renji walked back over and picked up the tray, and leaned over Kurosaki one more time. "Word of advice, asshole, don't you ever wake up!"
Renji slammed the door behind him, and silence returned to room #15.
--------------------------------------------
Four Years Later
Silence still ruled Ichigo's world. Instead of the small private room he was in before, he was motionless in a room with three other coma patients.
Suddenly a mosquito started to buzz around Ichigo until it landed on his left arm. It dug its nose into his skin and started sucking around.
Then it happened…
Ichigo woke up. He was all wide-eyed as he stood upright in his bed, gasping.
Then he remembered.
He remembered lying half-dead on the floor, and the former love of his life pointing a gun at his head and shooting it off. That's when he realized felt something cold on the side of his head. It was a metal plate. He knocked on it for good measure. He began to yell in pain.
His shouts of pain echoed all throughout the room, but no attendant came running through the room. Ichigo didn't realize he was in a coma ward, or that he had been out cold for the past four years. He began to recall the faces of those who put his in this state, swore that he would seek revenge. The one obstacle that was in his way…getting out of his bed.
_____________________
Yeah I know this chapter was a bit short, but I wanted to get it out of the way so I could start of Ichigo's journey of revenge. If you all have any ideas of who you would like Ichigo to go after first (byakuya, renji, and of course, rukia are going to be saved for the end of the story), please send me your suggestions in the reviews. It's the reviews that keep this fic going!!!! :)
Editz:// took out the parts that described what described what Rukia was doing on the phone while talking to Renji.
