Pet - COMEBACK 11
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Aizen's ultimate plan was rolling along. He was now at the stage where he, Gin, and Kaname could head off to Karakura Town to face the division of Shinigami would be stationed there. With the war beginning, having fun with his Pet was the least of his concerns. Besides, Aizen figured he can do as he pleases once he has complete control over everything and he could get back to Renji and his desires at that time. For now, with Ulquiorra left in Hueco Mundo, Aizen figured things were going to be handled well enough. Of course, Ichigo's return and Grimmjow's stubbornness was not an equitable factor, so the overall control of Hueco Mundo and that at Las Noches was slowly being torn apart. Aizen probably knew this for a fact, but most likely he just didn't care; all would be restored once he was the sovereign ruler.
Once Ichigo returned to Karakura Town with Inoue through the garganta, he turned back around to Urahara's demanding to be returned to Hueco Mundo. Of course, he wanted Inoue to stay in Karakura but she refused. Her argument that she could help with her healing powers was hard to ignore, and at least now she'd be protected by Rukia, Ishida and Chad, so Inoue would be in good hands. Plus, whatever he could do to get back to Renji as fast as possible was all that mattered. They had to wait for Urahara to make the necessary adjustments but would be ready to go whenever that happened. Only one thought remained in Ichigo's mind. Hang in there, Renji. Don't you dare give up!

Renji kept his distance from Syazel but the Octava found more opportunities to corner the redhead now that Aizen was out of Hueco Mundo. Syazel had to dodge the watchful eyes of Ulquiorra and the annoying presence of Grimmjow, but otherwise, he would get whatever he could out of the shinigami in the bedroom or in the Arena. Renji was beginning to forget how long it'd been since Ichigo had left with Inoue. Even Aizen's departure was beginning to pass by quickly. The time disruptor Renji had ingested was really working to Syazel's advantage, now that Aizen was gone. The Octava had finally gotten to taste Renji and he'd found it to his liking.
The espada decided to see if it would be more exciting to take Renji down if he were allowed to access his reiatsu. Syazel enjoyed a challenge and so he brought Renji to the Arena so the two of them could spar with the espada having no doubt he would win. He unhooked the length of chain but he left the thick black cuffs on Renji's wrists. Syazel walked off a ways to grab Zabimaru and he tossed the sheathed sword at the redhead.
"Now, let's have some fun, neh, Pet?"
Renji's mind had cleared up somewhat from being out of the cursed bedroom, but he felt there was something wrong. But for now, he pressed on. He was in the Arena with Zabimaru in hand and only one espada to deal with. Even if he couldn't escape the room, he planned to take down Syazel.
"Fine. Bankai!"
The air started to swirl around Renji when suddenly the power dissipated and Zabimaru remained in its katana form. "What the-"
"Ah, so they do work!" Renji eyed the Octava wondering what the hell was going on.
Syazel adjusted his spectacles before elaborating, "your cuffs are disrupting your spiritual powers. I wanted to see how well they can affect you shinigami and it seems for your power type of zanpaktou, it works rather well. And so-" Syazel sonido'd instantly to Renji, slashing him across the chest, and then moving out of his reach. "... this should make for an educational outing, Pet."
Renji pushed back away while grabbing his bleeding chest. It wasn't dangerous, but it still stung like a bitch. Oi, Zabimaru?! The nue did not respond and Renji could only hear very muffled murmurings instead. Before he could process that bit of uncertainty, Syazel came in for another swing which Renji blocked. However, a kick to head connected and the redhead flew backwards and slammed into the wall. Blood started to stream down his forehead from where he was kicked and the red liquid began moving swiftly downwards to drip from his jaw line to the floor.
He rose to his feet to prepare for an attack when a hand came flying towards him. It gripped him by the throat and began to press in cutting off his air. Renji dropped his zanpaktou to use both hands to try and relieve the pressure but it was useless. Syazel calmly leaned in and began to lick the streams of red closest to Renji's lips before plundering his mouth with a deep kiss, tongue thrusting in, further making it hard for the redhead to breathe. At the very last second before losing consciousness, the grip was released as Renji crumpled to the ground. He started taking in deep breaths as the Octava stood in front of him with a wicked gleam. He was beginning to enjoy the fight and thought that it did elicit the kind of excitement he was looking for. Syazel decided he would draw out this sparring session for as long as he desired.

Ichigo stepped through the garganta back onto the sands of Hueco Mundo with Inoue in tow. He grabbed her and took off towards Las Noches. He wanted to regroup with the others so he could leave her with them, but as he approached the battle grounds, he realized his nakama were separated and fighting their own immense battles individually. Shit. I can't leave her here, but I gotta get to Renji!
"Kurosaki-kun, I want to go with you to find Abarai-san. He may... need my help once we find him." Orihime lowered her eyes away from his at those last words. She didn't want to cause Ichigo any pain, but she remembered all the injuries inflicted on Renji before, and she wanted to help him as best she could. She wanted to help Ichigo in that way too, since she was beginning to understand that Renji was very important to him.
He realized he had no choice but to take her along since he couldn't leave her alone, and as much as he didn't want to think about it, Ichigo knew that Inoue was right. Renji might need immediate medical assistance. "Ok, but be careful, Inoue. As use your shield at all times if I have to fight. OK?"
"Yes, ok." She tried to give him an encouraging smile. He nodded in return before taking off to find Renji.

When Grimmjow felt a familiar reiatsu approaching Las Noches at record speed, he grinned a devilish smile. So, the Strawberry's come back for his toy. Guess I'll have ta go greet 'im. But before taking off to intercept the teen, he had another passing thought. Maybe I'll make it a little more interesting for his arrival. And what, he sonido'd off to find the redhead.
Grimmjow went to the bedroom that housed Renji but he knew instantly that it was empty. There was only one other place left and one other being that'd bother. Syazel, ya shit. The Sexta took off for the Arena.
Upon arriving at the Arena, Grimmjow blew away the Fraccion guarding the door with a cero blast. He barged right in to see Syazel pushing Renji against the wall, kissing and groping his way along the body that was now bleeding from multiple cuts across his skin. Even with only one arm, Grimmjow was able to pull the Octava off and slammed him against the far wall.
Renji looked at the two espada with a very confused look on his face. He wasn't sure if Grimmjow had arrived to take care of Syazel or finish him off himself.
Syazel recovered quickly, rising to his feet, as he wiped away the blood that was trickling down his chin. "Grimmjow, the session is mine. You can have him after I'm done."
"Tch. Ya pretending to play rough when ya got the puppy all restrained? Why don't ya let him out and then really have some fun." Grimmjow grabbed Renji by one wrist and he ripped apart one black cuff and then moved his hand to destroy the other. "At least then it's a fairer fight." He pushed Renji roughly aside before walking towards Syazel.
The Octava was furious and was getting ready to strike when Grimmjow raised a hand to Syazel's face with a cero starting to form.
Before Syazel could react, Grimmjow then turned his palm by ninety degrees to blast a giant hole through the Arena wall which led to the outside. Syazel's eyes went wide then looked enraged. Grimmjow gave him a wicked smile before turning his gaze at the shinigami whose own eyes were wide in shock.
"This room may keep ya weak shinigami down, but it's no match for an espada's cero. 'course, now that the wall's blasted through, guess it don't affect your bankai anymore neither. Isn't that right, Octava?" He looked at Syazel and sneered at the espada he considered to be so pathetic in his methods of fighting. Grimmjow liked it rough but he gave his all and expected a good fight in return; he had no need for useless inventions or tricks. "Ya feel it now, don't ya, Red?"
Renji tried to decipher what Grimmjow might be referring to, but with the cuffs gone and the Arena wall destroyed, he could sense more than he had since coming to Las Noches. "Ichigo!"
"That's right. And I'm a go greet yer Strawberry, so if ya think ya can follow, just try." And with that, Grimmjow sonido'd out of the room.
Renji got up to race after the Sexta but was met at the makeshift exit by Syazel. Except, Syazel had released his sword and transformed into a new figure Renji had not seen before.
"Oh no, my Pet. You're going to have to get by me before you can leave. And this time, I won't be going easy on you.'
Renji smiled back at the espada as he grabbed his zanpaktou in hand. "Whatever ya say, 'cept now I'm tha one who ain't gonna take it easy on ya. BANKAI!"

As a streak of blue started to head on a collision course with the blur of orange fast approaching Las Noches, the two colors stopped in midair to face one another.
"Outta my way, Grimmjow!"
"Whatever, Shinigami. If ya want the Red back so badly, you're gonna have ta get past me." Ichigo's eyes began to glow with anger but Grimmjow continued to speak. "He's still alive, for now, if that's what you're wonderin'. I gave 'im a fighting chance against that pink-haired idiot so that I knew ya could concentrate on fightin' ME. This time, we end it here."
Ichigo tried to process the words coming out of Grimmjow's mouth. "How do I know you're not lying - that Renji's alright?"
Grimmjow looked on with annoyance but knew he'd never get the fight he wanted if he didn't ease the kid's mind. "He's got his own fight ta deal with, but yeah, he was alive an' breathin' when I left 'em. But if you want to rescue your sweetheart, you're gonna have to get past me first. Got it?"
Ichigo decided getting past the espada before him would be the quickest way to get to Renji. And for now, he believed Grimmjow's words. "Fine. Inoue, please fix his arm. I want a fair fight too so there's no way you can complain later that you had an unfair disadvantage."
"Tch! Like I need another arm to take ya down!" Grimmjow turned his back on the duo before replying, "Fine. I'm all for a fair fight."
Orihime took a final look at Ichigo before moving towards the blue-haired espada. With a nod of approval from Ichigo, she went over and began to repair Grimmjow's arm.
Once she was done, Ichigo walked over to her to say, "Inoue, please shield yourself while we fight. Don't worry, I'll definitely win this." He turned his head to face Grimmjow and said, "Let's take this elsewhere."
"Fine." And with that last word from the espada, Orihime watched the two growing into smaller figures as she could only wait and hope that Ichigo would win sooner than later.

Renji emerged from the middle of a black plume of smoke barely able to stand on his own. He stabbed Zabimaru into the ground to steady himself as he looked around him. It was a long and intense battle, but his attack on Syazel was the final move he needed to end the fight. If Renji had anything, it was his ability to withstand the greatest of punishments. Wrapping himself with Syazel inside the coils of Zabimaru's shikai form and hitting the Octava with a shakkaho blast was a risk, but the gamble paid off. In their weakened states, the blast was damaging to both bodies, but Renji had survived. Syazel was reduced to dust and pieces that littered the Arena floor.
Let's get outta h're, Zabimaru. "Fine if ya can walk outta h're on yer own." That's what I'm doin'. Thanks fer tha
The next thing Renji felt was being held in someone's arms as his name was being called to over and over. Renji wasn't sure how much time had passed since losing consciousness, but he felt like it had been a while. He looked up to see a crop of orange hair with brown eyes looking down at him with a mix of concern and warmth.
"Ichigo, ya came back fer me?" Renji's head was cradled in Ichigo's arms as the teen looked down at his friend.
"Idiot. Did you honestly doubt that I'd come back?" Ichigo gave him a classic cocky grin but then furrowed his brow when Renji didn't retaliate like his usual self. Instead, the redhead looked even more confused and dazed.
"I dunno...what I think. It's all kinda fuzzy fer me." Renji then closed his eyes and took a deep sigh.
"Oi! Renji! What's the matter with ya? We gotta go! Aizen's in Karakura-." Ichigo cut his words short as Renji convulsed in his arms at the sound of hearing Aizen's name. Chocolate brown eyes went wide as he started to wonder what exactly happened to his friend while in the ex-taichou's captivity. If anyone can take a beating, it's Renji. But he's never shuddered at the sound of someone's name.
Much softer now and with a gentle shaking of the shoulders, "Oi, Renji? Are you alright?"
Renji opened his eyes slowly and the emotions that sat behind those once vibrant burgundy eyes were muddied with hurt, confusion, and a bit of fear. It was a sight that pained Ichigo throughout and he couldn't bear to see it in his friend; in the man he knew he loved.
"Yeah, 'm a'ight," Renji replied without much conviction, and then he closed his eyes once more.
From a distance, Rukia watched her two best friends reunited and started to get closer to check on Renji's condition herself. Seeing his form lying so bruised and bloodied broke her heart, but she stopped dead in her tracks when Ichigo raised his head and she saw that look she's seen before - resolve.
"Rukia," Ichigo called over calmly, "Take care of Renji. I have to go now." Ichigo waited for her to come over and kneel down next to them so he could transfer Renji's body over to be held by Rukia.
However, Renji hand held firm over Ichigo's for a moment. "Are ya leavin' me here?" His eyes looked up with fear and Ichigo knew he had to leave right then.
"Yeah, I do, Renji. But it's only for a little while. Rukia here'll get ya fixed up and then we'll all meet back again, alright?" Ichigo gave Renji's hand a little squeeze before pulling away from them.
Rukia saw the expression on Ichigo's face change from concern to a cold stare as he started to leave. "Ichigo, be careful."
"Don't worry about me. Just get Renji back to his old self." And with that, Ichigo shunpo'd off to find the other captains to get access to a garganta. He wanted to get to Karakura Town as fast as possible.
There was only one action to do - destroy Aizen. And for once, Ichigo knew it was even beyond doing it to protect everyone - Aizen's demise would be the first step in saving Renji's spirit and piece him back together from the broken spirit he was leaving in Rukia's care. It would bring back to Ichigo the one person who means the most to him.
