Chapter 11
The very next day he came back to check on me, But since Rukia was in the room he behaved like any Captain visiting his injured comrade. He left quickly
All he did was greet me and ask how I was feeling.
I guess Rukia must have sensed something from the way we looked at each other, because the second he left she stared at me with a horror-struck face. "Did you see the way he was looking at you? That was horrifying!!" She nearly screamed "That guy has the face of a murderer; he scares me shit-less" She whispered, afraid he might hear her.
I laughed "Yeah, he's really scary" I couldn't let her know what was going on between me and him. It's not right for us to be dating. I remembered last night.
"Tsukiko-san"
Rukia said "Are you still there; you seem to have zoomed out"
"Yeah
I am, I guess"
"good, cause I'm not done yet" She smiled
" Has Kenpachi ever suggested anything with you, he's been around
you allot lately, I swear the big-guy likes you" And so Rukia
started her endless Kenpachi-has-a-thing-for-you theory.
It was funny to hear, since it was true.
After Rukia had left, Kenpachi returned.
He seemed taller then usual tonight, not that he needed height.
If you paid attention to him, he has quite a handsome face, not to mention the body of a god.
"Good evening, Tsukiko" He greeted politely; gazing across the room, making sure no one was around.
"I'm
alone, don't worry" I said
"Good, I taught that girl would
never leave"
"Ha-ha, you should have heard what she was
saying"
"I hear everything"
"Where were you, where you spying on me?"
"No,
just hanging around, keeping an eye on the place"
"Sure, I
believe you" I told him sarcastically, sticking out my tongue.
"Believe what ever you want" He replied, walking over to me and sting down on my bed.
He placed his rough hand on one side of my face, and pulled me in for a long and romantic kiss. I locked my arms on his neck, and pulled him closer, until we both fell backwards and he was on top of me. We laughed.
"Brings back memories?" I asked, planting a kiss on his lips.
"The best memories I have" he smirked. "I hate having to keep us a secret, being careful not to get caught, it fucking sucks" he breathed against my ear. "I love you Tsukiko, and you love me. You're the first woman to ever show any kind of affection towards me. I want to let everyone know that I've found someone." He sincerely smiled at me.
I kissed him again
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!" someone screamed from the door
I
couldn't see who it was because Kenpachi's broad body blocked my
view. But I recognized that voice.
"Fuck, its Renji I
whispered."
"Get your hands of her, immediately" he snarled
Kenpachi got of me.
"What the fuck do you think you doing" Renji hissed at Kenpachi, taking out his Zabimaru.
"RENJI, NOO!! " I screamed at him
"What the fuck is wrong with you, Tsukiko? This creep" he pointed at Kenpachi "was trying to abuse of you and you want me to let him live?" Renji was outraged.
He swung his sword in at Kenpachi, but it did no damage on the man's granite-hard skin.
Kenpachi pointed his soul slayer in Renji's Direction.
Kenpachi would kill Renji.
I threw myself in between my best friend, and my lover
"Why are you defending him, Tsukiko?" Renji asked me.
"Because I… I love him…" I told him, with tears running down my face.
"FUCK IT!!" Renji screamed.
I did not notice that in his left hand he held roses.
"These are for you." He handed them to me, while picking something out of his pocket. A letter.
"This was also for you, not that it has much use now" He handed me the letter and walked out with his head facing the ground. He only did that when he cried..
I stared the read the letter.
Hi, Tsukiko
You're prolly wondering why I wrote you this letter, with me being right next to you. I guess something's are just hard to say face to face.
So here goes.
Ever since we where little kids, I've always looked up to you. You where always smiling, pretending you did not notice the things that happened around us.
I always admired the fact that you never cried. You always but up a brave smile and pretend everything's fine.
Until you left to shinigami-school. Leaving us behind. I held you tightly as you cried, because you where gonna miss us.
A couple of years later we reunited, and I saw you cry again, but this time you where happy.
I loved seeing you that way.
Ever since my feelings for you have started to change from a heart-filled friendship, to much more. I longed to be with you. To feel your lips against mine, to hold you.
So many times I have fantasized of us being together.
I never did anything about it. Until now.
What I'm trying to say is that.
I love you Tsukiko. I always have and I always will.
I'm hoping when you finish reading you will turn to me and kiss me, like I've always dreamt you would. You have no idea how nervous I am right now, watching you read this.
I'm probably shaking as we speak.
I really hope you feel the same way I do.
If you don't, it would suck really badly, but at least you know how I feel. And you will know that ill always be here for you. Whenever you do feel the same, if you ever do. I'll be here, waiting for you. Even if I may find other girls to fill the emptiness in between, I will always love you.
You're Monkey-Boy. Renji
