Two months had passed by. Rena had went to Unohana for her check-ups, as promised. She told Rena she was fine, but really needed to relax more. Rena nodded and headed toward the Captain's meeting room.
Once there, she was met with congratulations. Rena was confused by this. She stood next to Hitsugaya and saw that he was really irritated.
Rena sighed. "What are you guys talking about?" she asked.
"About your marriage silly!" Kyoukaku-taichou told her.
"Yes, congratulations!" Ukitake-taichou said.
Rena was confused by this, then she understood what had happened. Those damn geezers! Spreading rumors won't help them. Rena was furious.
"I am not going to marry anyone anytime soon! Got that? Those damn elders told you a lie. They only want me to get married, because they need an heir!! Argh! I'm gonna kill them when I get my hands on them!!!!!"
Unohana-taichou came over to Rena. "Rena please remember: you have to stay calm," she told the fuming girl.
Rena took a deep breath and told everyone that she was NOT getting married.
Yamamoto sou-taichou dismissed the meeting since it was called by Kyoukaku-taichou to congratulate Rena. Everyone returned to their divisions. Rena went to the tenth with Hitsugaya since it would keep her away from the elders. Once inside she started to get angry again.
"Who the hell do they think they are?! I am not marrying him for gods sake! This is so damn annoying!" Rena practically yelled.
"Calm down. This will hopefully end soon. You need to relax. Can you imagine what this is doing to your health?" Hitsugaya asked.
Rena sighed. He was right. Also, so was stressed that she had to tell him sometime soon. After all she only had about a month or so before he would find out eventually, since she would start showing. She leaned against him. "Prepare yourself for anything okay?" she asked him.
Hitsugaya looked at her confused. "O-okay."
Rena smiled and soon fell asleep against him. He carried her to his room, gently set her down and left.
-------------------------------------
"You have a meeting with them today, right?" the woman asked.
"Yes, I'm headed there after that," Kaname replied.
"Good, make sure she says yes, or she'll be pissed."
"No problem," with that said, Kaname left to the meeting room.
-------------------------------------
"Welcome Kaname-san," the elders greeted.
Kaname bowed in return.
Just then, the door to the meeting room, slid open, hard.
"Welcome Rena-sama," the elders greeted. Rena slid...slammed the doors shut.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just get this over with. I am not changing my decision. We have gone over this many times and I am sticking to my decision of not marrying this guy," Rena said, while pointing at Kaname.
"Please, be reasonable, Rena-sama. We need an heir, and Byakuya-sama said he's not going to produce one soon," the elders told her.
Rena scoffed. "You listen and obey my brother, but not me?"
"We didn't mean it that way, Rena-sama," an elder with a long beard said.
"All this crap about me marrying him is so damn irritating. Can't you old geezers just accept my decision?" Rena asked, rather annoyed.
"I'm sorry Rena-sama, but no, we can't," the elder with glasses replied.
"Rena-san, why don't you want to marry me?" Kaname questioned.
Rena turned to look at him. "I'm sorry, but I already have a boyfriend and I love him very much. No one can compare to him, not even a noble. I don't care what the elders think of him. I never have, actually. I'm happy with him, and not even you can ever replace him. Sorry, Kaname," she told him.
"You truly love him, but does he feel the same?" Kaname questioned. The elders, Byakuya, and Rena were quite taken aback by this questioned.
Rena smiled. "Yes. He has proven it many times. I have never doubted him or his love. He protects me, and cares for me. When I'm around him, I feel safe and protected, like I have never been before."
"But, he has, in the past, ignored your feelings for him," an elder, who looked to be the youngest out of all the elders, said.
Rena glared at him, so did Byakuya. "He had a first love. It may not have been me, but I was happy for him. I don't regret seeing him with Hinamori-chan. She was a great friend and I don't mind that he loved her. As long as he was happy, it was fine with me. He loves me now, and that's all that matters. How dare you question our relationship! I may not live here anymore, but remember this, I am still a part of this household!" Rena said. She was furious. How dare they! I love him and he loves me back. They have no idea how much we care for each other, Rena thought.
My sister has gone through so much for him. They love each other, I have no doubt. Also, I'm surprised by Rena. I have not heard her use that tone in a while, Byakuya thought. The last time she used that tone, was when we Aizen almost killed Hitsugaya-taichou. I'm still amazed at how she handled the elders.
Rena looked at her brother. She saw he was slightly angered. She sighed. My brother must be thinking about the past...
"Rena-sama, we mean no disrespect," the bearded elder told her.
Rena looked back at the elders. "If you mean no disrespect, then stop this madness about me getting married."
"We cannot," the elder with no hair told her.
Rena stared at the four elders. She sighed again. The only people that have actually escaped their marriage crap is Aniki, and Hisana-neechan. I have won many fights against my brother. Never have I lost one. I don't intend to lose now! Even if it's against these elders, I will not back down, Rena thought.
Just then, everyone heard shouting. It was coming from in between the fifth and sixth division. Rena and Byakuya sighed. It was probably Renji and Ichigo.
Rena looked at the elders again. "My decision is final. Nothing you do will change my mind. See ya," she said, and walked away.
After Rena left, Byakuya left shortly after.
----------------------------------------
Argument
"Oi! GET OUTTA MY WAY, STRAWBERRY!!" Renji shouted.
"ME?! YOU GET OUTTA THE WAY! I'M A CAPTAIN SO CLEARLY I CAN GO FIRST," Ichigo shouted.
"WHERE I'M GOING IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAT WHERE YOU'RE GOING, DUMBASS!!" Renji retorted.
"Shut up both of you!!" Rena yelled. They immediately shut up. "I'm pissed off already, so don't make me kill you. What are you arguing about this time?" Rena asked.
"Rena-taichou, I was headed toward the fourth division to deliver the finished paperwork designated to go there, when Strawberry came out and blocked my path. I've been trying to get him to move," Renji stated.
"My name is NOT Strawberry, asshole!!" Ichigo shouted. Just as Renji was going to retort to that, Rena shot them an angry glare.
Man! Her glares are worst than Toushirou's! No wonder, they're a couple, Ichigo thought.
"Ichigo, why didn't you let Renji pass?" Rena questioned.
"The jackass was in my way, and he should have let me pass since I'm captain," Ichigo replied, earning a glare from Renji.
"Where were you headed?" Rena asked.
"The the tenth division," Ichigo replied proudly.
"Why?"
"Ummm...uhhh...to...um...bug Toushirou." As soon as those words were said, Rena glared at him.
"Then you should have let Renji pass, baka!!" Rena told him. With that said, she left to go to her division for some rest. She was stressed and that wasn't good for her in her condition.
--------------------------------------
Evening
Rena sighed. She finally finished her paperwork. Rena looked over at Hisagi and said, "Hisagi, you can go home, now."
"But taichou, the papers have to be delivered," Hisagi told her.
"It's okay. Go. I'll have someone else in the division send them. They haven't done much today anyway," Rena told her lieutenant. She smiled at im adn he smiled back. He then excused himself.
"Hey! Guys! Come here!" Rena called. Her door slid open and two shinigami showed up.
"You called, taichou?" they asked.
"Yes, deliver the paperwork. If you need, ask more division members to help you out," she ordered.
The shinigami bowed and took the piles of paperwork.
Rena headed to her garden outside her room. To her surprised, she found Kaname there.
"Good Evening, Rena-san," Kaname greeted.
"What the hell are you doing in my private garden?" Rena asked.
Kaname was taken aback by her question. Does she have no manners? -sigh- No, I doubt that. She spoke in a commanding voice with elders, and she's a Kuchiki. She must have some manners.
"Answer my question," Rena said.
"I wanted to speak with you," Kaname replied.
"In my garden? You could have just told my division you were here to see me and they would have lead you to my office," Rena pointed out.
"Oh, um,"
Rena sighed. "What do you want?" she asked.
"I would like you to reconsider your decision about the marriage proposal," Kaname replied.
Rena sighed again. "I'm sorry. I will not change my decision. What makes you ask me that?"
"I have taken a interest in you. I would like to get to know you better, and I was hoping I could do that if you became my wife."
Rena was surprised by his answer. She didn't expect him to say that. "I'm sorry. I can't return your feelings. My heart already belongs to another."
Kaname looked at her. "Do you truly love him this much?"
"Yes."
This is getting frustrating. I have to get her to be my bride, or I'll get her pissed off, Kaname thought. "I can't except your answer Rena-san."
Rena was shocked. Did he just say what I think he said? Or do I have to get my ears checked? Rena thought.
Kaname took a step closer to her. Rena saw this and took a step back. He continued to walk toward her. She walked backward. When he was getting too close, Rena shunpoed six feet behind him.
"Stay away from me, Kaname," Rena warned. He just kept on walking towards her. She put her hand on the hilt of her sword. If he got any closer, she would kill him. Suddenly, she heard a scream coming from her division. She was distracted for a second, but Kaname took advantage of that. He pulled her too the ground with him. He was on top of her. She struggled against his hold.
"Get off of m--" Kaname kissed her, cutting her off. Rena struggled from the kiss. Damn! I can't puch him off!! She then bit him, and shouted, "TOUSHIROU!!!!"
Kaname licked the blood off of his lips, and was about to kiss her again when someone pulled him off. Rena looked up to see Hitsugaya helping her up.
"Are you okay?" Hitsugaya asked.
"I'm fine, thanks. That bastard tried to force himself on me," Rena said.
Hitsugaya pulled out Hyourinmaru and pointed it at him. "Who are you?" he asked, coldly.
"I'm her fiance, who are you?" Kaname asked.
"Fiance?! FIANCE?! You are not my fiance!!!" Rena shouted. She was so mad.
"I am her boyfriend," Hitsugaya replied.
"Really? Cause she told me she loves me," Kaname said. As soon as he said those words, Kousetsusakura was at his throat.
"Don't you ever say that again. I have never said I loved you. I only met you two months ago. You say that again and that'll be the last thing you will ever say, got it?!" Rena threatened. She was so mad. How dare this guy! The nerve!! Who does he this he is?! I don't care if he's a noble, I don't care WHO he is!! I'm going to kill him next time!!!
The only thought in Hitsugaya's mind when Rena placed her sword by Kaname's neck was: She's snapped. He was going to put his sword at Kaname's throat, but Rena beat him to it.
Kaname looked at the sword by his throat. He gulped and said, "I'll see you at the next meeting." With that he left.
Rena turned around. She was still incredibly angry. "Ugghh!! I can't believe that guy! Who the hell does he think he is?! Next time he tries something I'll kill him!! Hell, he'll be lucky if they can find his remains!!!!!! That stupid, pompus twit!!!!!!!!!!! Who on earth raised him?! Forcing himself on me?! He's lucky I was distracted or else he would have been sent to hell by now!!!!!!! Ugh!! I can't wait till I beat the crap out of him at the next meeting!!!!!!! I don't care if he doesn't do anything!! I'll kill him anyway!!!! He's got a lot of nerve thinking he can take me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rena fumed. After she let most of her anger out, she collapsed. Luckily, Hitsugaya caught her before she hit the ground. Damn! I can't become stressed or angry; I have to stay calm, were the last thoughts Rena had before she fainted.
