I apologies for not updating this story sooner. I didn't have wifi for a while and Collage restarted so it's been hard to fit everything in, also I turned eighteen a couple of days ago, so I was getting ready for my birthday party. I hope it was worth the wait, please enjoy.
Forbidden
The red headed reaper lowered his head, as he accepted his punishment. The one that was sent to tell him of his sentence stood and left the room. Captain Kuchiki glared at his lieutenant.
"I'm sorry Ichigo" Renji muttered as he came to terms with the fact he would never be able to explain himself.
"Do you wish to say something Renji?" The captain stood as he spoke.
"N-no captain it's nothing."
"Do you have any questions about your sentence?"
"No. I understand fully"
"Very well" The black haired captain moved closer to his lieutenant, "come with me Renji, I wish to show you something."
Renji didn't need to answer, as he scrambled to his feet. He simple nodded and followed the taller male out of the room. They walked in complete silence, down a corridor of the Kuchiki manor. Rukia passed by, She bowed to her older brother, and gave Renji a disappointed look before carrying on in the opposite direction.
"I wonder if Rukia would talk to him for me" Renji thought, before sighing.
Byakuya opened the door to one of the rooms, and stepped in. The room was relatively large. A futon was neatly folded in the corner of the room. Beautiful grey trees were displayed on the walls, with falling leaves.
"Captain, what's so special about this room?" Renji was perplexed, as he didn't understand the point of being shown a particular room.
"It's yours" The captain spoke calmly, stepping to the side so that Renji could see the entire room. It was huge for just one person.
"Mine?"
"I have been placed in charge of you Lieutenant Abari, you will stay here until your sentence is over, and this is so I can keep a closer eye on you. Your things will be transferred from your old quarters, to here."
The red head lowered his head. He didn't wish to stay in the manor. His old room had Ichigo's scent, from when the carrot-top had visited him in the past.
"Captain, may I request that I am left alone so I can settle in."
The black haired captain simple closed his eyes, showing no sign of leaving. Instead the older male closed the door and turned to face the other.
"If I was to leave you, then I would be neglected my duty of keeping watch over you." Byakuya's point was valid, but it made Renji realise that the next fifty years weren't just going to be lonely; it was going to be like hell. His movement watched every second of the day.
"You do not have to call me "Captain" when we are alone" Byakuya said in a cool manor, as he closed the gap between him and the re head. Renji's eyes met the captain's, and he gulped.
"But that would be disrespectful." Renji protested.
The noble-mans warm palm stroked the others cheek.
"I can tell that you are in distress. A Lieutenant shouldn't show such weakness."
Renji's knees begun to shake, as the soft hand caressed him. "S-sorry Captain"
"I am here, if you need to talk." Byakuya came close to Renji's face. His breathe was hot against the other skin, and for a moment, there was dead silence. The captain's pale lips touched Renji's. The red-head's body was thrown into turmoil. The softness of the kiss was all too familiar. He felt the same softness and compassion that he sensed when he and Ichigo kissed. The captain quickly kissed the lieutenant, with passion, only to be pushed away.
"NO!" Renji shouted. "You aren't him."
Disappointed eyes scanned Renji's exterior, before the Captain cleared his throat and brushed himself down.
"I will call for you, if you are need." The upper class reaper swiftly turned away. His scarf raising and falling in an elegant way. The man quickly left the room, and closed the door behind.
Renji sank to the floor, and lightly punched it. "Damn it" he exclaimed, as a single tear tumbled carelessly down his face.
(Scene change- World of the living. 1 month later)Ichigo sat at his desk, studying for an upcoming exam.
"Where the hell is Renji" He thought to himself, as he struggled to keep his mind focused on his books.
"What kind of boyfriend just leaves and never comes back. Geez" the orange haired teen slammed his pen down, and at the same time his door swung open.
"Yuzu, I told you not to bother me until dinner."
"You know Ichigo; you need to work on your politeness." The voice didn't belong to his younger sister; this made him turn round on his chair. His eyes widened, as he recognised Rukia Kuchiki.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Ichigo stood scratching the back of his head.
Rukia didn't even look at him. She sat on his bed and sighed deeply.
"Is there a hollow?" Despite disliking having to go deal with hollows at a moment's notice, the teen just needed something to preoccupy himself.
"No. I'm here because Renji wished me to tell you something."
"Oh" Ichigo threw himself back on his chair. "What is it?"
"He doesn't wish to see you anymore"
The statement came as a shock to the teen, but he couldn't let the small reaper know about their relationship.
"Yeah? Why would he want to tell me something like that?" Ichigo rolled his eyes and sighed. "We were never that close anyway" he then shrugged, trying to fool his friend that he didn't care.
"Don't lie to me Ichigo" Rukia spoke with spite in her tone. "I know all about you and the things you made Renji do with you."
"W-what? I didn't make him doing anything."
Rukia glared at the substitute soul reaper, "because of you Renji can no longer come to the world of the living", the small woman stood to leave. "It would be best if you went back to being just Ichigo. You no longer have the right to be the substitute soul reaper." Before Ichigo could reply, Rukia left the room.
The orange haired teen just stared at the door. "Just Ichigo" he thought, "how can I go back to being "just Ichigo" I can't" The male went to run after his friend, but was stopped by his black haired sister entering the room.
"Is everything alright Ichigo?" She asked with concern.
"Fine." Ichigo lied down, his head buried in his pillow. "Just leave me alone Karin."
The girl looked down; knowing that once her brother put up his wall there was no getting through to him. She did as she was told, and left her brother to his thoughts.
(Scene change- Urahara's shop. Midnight.)
Ichigo stood out the small candy shop, in his black kimono. A cool spring breeze brushed through his air. He opened his eyes as he took in a deep breath. He walked close to the door, and reached out to knock. The teen almost feel through the door, as it opened instantly. The shop owner smiled under his hat.
"Good evening Ichigo" The blonde spoke calmly, and then lifted his head so that the teen could see the man's eyes.
"Urahara, I need to get to the soul society. Now!" The orangette ordered.
The older male whipped out his fan, and used it to hide his face. "Now, now Ichigo. Why don't we have some tea, and of a catch up"
"What's there to talk about? I just need you to…"
"Let you pass into the soul society" the owner interrupted as he interpreted the substitutes soul reapers words.
Ichigo just nodded.
"I gather you wish to travel there, to see what is going on with Renji"
The teen looked baffled. "He knows?" Ichigo thought.
"How did you know Urahara?"
"You should know by now Ichigo that I have my ways" the creepy owner smirked, which made Ichigo shiver, the teen didn't wish to know how the owner got his information.
"So? Will you let me pass?" The orangette beckoned
The owner nodded. "As I am not a part of the soul society anymore, I can't stop you. Besides, I think that you and Renji are a good pairing." Urahara chuckled, and then walked into the store. The teen soon followed, after the shock of what the creepy guy said had sunk in,
