But now on with the story:
Chap 4: the Escape?
Renji really got desperate. There was no way to call what time or day it was, he couldn't sleep, he was hungry and thirsty and that freak raped him every damn time he visited.
Just now it was the fifth time that creep raped him and he had no idea how long he was there, waiting until he could rape him again.
It was just his luck that the man decided to go out to take some fresh air. Renji made up his mind to try an escape.
'What could possibly go wrong? Sure the guy could find me and punish me, but I bet it would be nothing more. He won't kill me, no. He wants me for pleasure and dead I'm of no use. Well he could do that with me when I'm dead, but that is too disgusting even for him.' With that he put all his weight on the chains that held his cuffs.
He learned that this method was more effective in unfasten the chains, because it was the most soundless one.
Not even one minute later Renji was able to walk soundlessly trough the room, spotting the door he slowly opened it and with a well aimed hit on the back of the head the guard fell to the floor.
'Good, one down, but still one to avoid. Let's take a look. There is only one staircase. Fuck seems like I have no choice.' And with that he made his way up, hiding behind the nearest wall.
'Hm, that went too smooth so far. Better keep my senses sharp.'
After assessing his environment he was sure that the coast was clear.
He was in the middle of a small clearing, seemingly in one of the poorest districts in the Rukongai, judging by the sourinding shacks. Looking up into the sky he saw a beautiful full moon, by the position he could judge that it was midnight. Strangely not one owl was howling or any other sounds were coming from the woods.
"Hm, you sure are a special one, aren't you?" that voice said.
Eyes widening he turned to see the man that became his nightmare.
'Fuck it! I can't fear him! What would taichou think? No. I have to fight him, only problem is just that I can't use my arms properly, but nevertheless I have to try!'
With that he made a run towards his captor slamming his right shoulder into the man's stomach causing him to gasp and to stumble backwards. Renji regained his balance and attempted another assault, but the masked man was cleverer this time and avoided him just in time. He took a knife out of sleeve effectively cutting Renjis left upper arm, but not enough to leave a scar. Not being able to use his hands Renji now used his legs and feet trying to land a kick while spinning out of the range from the knife. The kick landed, but was not as strong as the red-head had hoped, because he concentrated more on his spin then the kick itself. Upon landing he didn't saw his enemy until the sound of shunpo behind him could be heard and got hit with the hilt of the knife directly on his forehead, causing him to pass out.
After waking up Renji was again chained to the ceiling 'Oh great… Not only am I AGAIN on that fucking ceiling, but my head hurts like a bitch.'
"So you are awake again, hm? That was quite the act you put on there. To get off the chains and escape, that was admirable. Mind telling me how you did that?" the man asked while playing with the knife.
"Go fuck yourself. I'm not going to tell you anything." The red-head said, still bleeding on his upper arm.
"I'm afraid I have to deny your proposal, as I will be fucking you." Now that guy chuckled again.
Renji never left the knife with his eyes. "It was coincidence I ran right into you, ne?" he asked, already knowing the answer.
"Quite right. But I fear I have to punish you. What a pity."
And with that he made his way towards Renji. "Bakudo no yon: Hainawa" And with that Renjis whole body went rigid.
As he approached he played more with the knife and then put it on Renjis chest tracing the lines Zabimaru put on him, leaving open wounds all the way. Renji tried to not let any sound escape while his body got more and more cuts.
First only Zabimarus markings got cut but then the psychopath left all over his body wounds, no pattern just to make clear that Renjis action had consequences he had to face now.
The man got frustrated. The red-head wouldn't let even one sound came out, but that was what he wanted. He wanted to hear Renji scream, hear him plead, but nothing came. And so he cut somewhat deeper, but not deep enough to leave scars. No. he couldn't do that, he couldn't permanently damage that beautiful skin. He wouldn't forgive himself if he would.
And so, after nearly cutting every centimeter of Renjis skin, he stopped, admiring his work.
"And now think about what you did." He said, removing the hair-tie to watch that beautiful crimson mane spill all down his back merging with the red of his blood. "So beautiful." he whispered before leaving him alone again.
"Pfuh, it doesn't look like we're gonna find anything Juu-chan." The man said exhaling a breath full of frustration.
"Yeah I know. Abarai became popular after he befriended with Kira-fukutaichou. He didn't get into one fight, what really surprises me when I think about his character." Juushiro told his companion.
"I just wonder what Kuchiki-kun wants us to find exactly. He never had any enemies, not in the academy and not after graduating." Shunsui said, tiredness coloring his tone.
"Looks like it, but maybe the person who took him wasn't an enemy" the white-haired man speculated.
"Huh? Not an enemy? What do you mean with that Juu?" trust on Juushiro to irritate his partner more then he already was.
"I mean, Shunsui, when Abarai had no enemies the person who abducted him must be someone who had interest in him. What kind of interest we still have to figure out though." He explained desperate breath exhaling.
"Yare, yare. You mean something like unrequited love? If so it is difficult to find out who that could be." The brown-haired man said, closing the books and leaving with Ukitake the library.
"Fuck, three days and we still haven't found anything." An orange-haired boy complained to his companions.
"I just hope that we find Renji-san soon." The only unseated officer said.
"Uhm, say what was your name again?" Ichigo asked him.
"Oh, gomen nasai. I'm Rikichi, unseated officer in the rokubantai." He stated, head nodding in greeting.
"Ah, right. But what exactly are you doing here? You're only an unseated officer after all and the rest of our search parties are all taichous and fukutaichous." The substitute inquired, not sure what he should think of that shy boy.
"You see, Renji-san is my idol. I look up to him and someday I hope I could be just like him. He trains with me everday, so that Kuchiki-taichou might promote me to 20th seat someday. That is our goal, if I make higher that would be awesome, but we want him to promote me at least to 20th seat." he explained, eyes becoming shiny as he thought about his training with Renji.
"Hm, then it's understandable that you want to search for him. I think I would feel the same as you, if my mentor disappeared." Ichigo said and immediately regretting it as the image of one wicked Urahara Kisuke came into his mind. "Well when I think about it, I wouldn't search for my mentor." The carrot-top corrected himself.
Hisagi and Kira both chuckled at that while Rikichis mouth nearly dropped to the tabletop, not believing what he heard.
"Ah you don't have to look like that Rikichi-kun, Kurosaki-kuns mentor is none other than Urahara Kisuke. Your training with him was quite harsh, ne Kurosaki-kun? Renji always complained when he had to stay at his shoten." Kira tried to lighten the mood.
"Yeah that creep Urahara always forced Renji to take care of the household. And as far as I know they teased him whenever he wanted or needed an extra portion to eat, calling him freeloader-san." Ichigo explained, then shaking his head at the cruelness of Urahara.
"Ah that's why Abarai always rushed home, when he comes back from the world of the living. Always telling me 'we talk later Shuu' or 'Not now Shuu, I'm busy' really, that Abarai. How can one person eat so much and not look like Omaeda?" Hisagi wondered.
"That's because he and Kuchiki-taichou train every day. Renji-san never gets the opportunity to look like Omaeda-fukutaichou because he has his excersise, with Kuchiki-taichou training him and renji-san training me." Rikichi said full of seriousness.
The other three watched him with big eyes.
"What? Renji-san always complains when the nibantai fukutaichou comes to us, delivering reports or such. So I thought that Omaeda-fukutaichou isn't working out much." He said, still irritate why they looked at him so funny.
"You know Rikichi… I can see why Renji likes you." Ichigo said smiling at him.
Byakuya made his way into his garden to watch the full moon.
He stood in the midst of it, surrounded by his beloved Sakura trees and in front of him, and under his favourite tree, the koi pond he loved to watch from time to time while sitting under the tree, but lately he felt lonely, wanting to share these silent and peaceful moments with someone. Although he would probably remain alone longer then he thought, not being able to fall in love again made it more difficult to satisfy that craving.
It was the third day that they searched for Renji and still not one group was able to find anything, not even the smallest traces of reiatsu.
No one dared to say it, but Byakuya knew what they were thinking. They thought Abarai was already dead.
He saw it the most in Rukia, she lost her determination and every step they took deeper into the Rukongai she became sadder, remembering her time with Renji.
'Abarai is still alive, somehow I know it. We trained more since Kurosaki killed Aizen, Zanjutsu and Hakudo. He got so much better, I refuse to believe that he is dead. But somehow I got that strange feeling, that we need to find him fast.'
While thinking and looking at the moon, Byakuya didn't hear the approaching footsteps.
"Oh Nii-sama, you're still awake?" Rukia asked him
"So it seems." Was his solitary reply.
"Do you think that we can still find him?" she asked, looking at her brother with sad eyes.
Byakuya now looked at the reflection of the moon in his koi pond.
"I do hope so Rukia. Though I think we need to hurry, the fifth day of his disappearance is coming and we don't know what is happening to him. To search every district strikes me as useless now, we need to narrow down our search." After saying just that one of the kois disturbed the surface with a jump, causing the reflection of the moon to shatter.
While he was speaking a hell-butterfly appeared and landed on his fingertip, revealing its message when he finished speaking:
"Byakuya-sama the council of elders demands your attendance in tomorrow mornings meeting. It is of short notice, but it concerns the search for your fukutaichou. You should know in advance Byakuya-sama that not all members approve of it, but that you have some on your side. Of course would it be an official meeting you would have been informed earlier, keep that in mind. I will meet you at dawn at the gates of your manor."
After the message was given the butterfly disappeared into the night.
"Was that head councilor Kazuhiro?" Rukia asked her brother with wide fearful eyes.
"So it seems, but don't be afraid Rukia, he is one of a few council members that support me. He sent me this message to let me know, that they plan something without my knowledge. So you see we needn't be afraid of him. I won't be able to go with you to search for Abarai, take Kurosaki with you tomorrow." He reassured his sister, watching the surface of his pond calming down and the moon resuming his reflection.
