Welcome back! Thankies for your continued support, really!

Firstly: HAPPY BIRTHDAY RENJI! for tomorrow...

I'd also like to tell you that new characters appear! ...soon :) Well, I recently noticed that now it's easier for me to write Rukia's letters, although it was Renji's before. I guess that's why Rukia's part is longer, again.

Sad thing is, school starts in days. Even more sad thing is, it's my last year in high school and with school leaving exams, it's gonna be sooo hard :( I can't tell how this will affect updates, I'll do my best anyway and write as much as I'll be able to. Promise! You can keep your fingers crossed.

Read, enjoy and review :)

Dear Renji,

first of all, happy birthday! I wish I was in Seireitei for a while, I'd hug you with all my strength! I miss you so much! I hope all your wishes will come true and your life gets calmer soon.

Mine is far from that.

Since the incident with studying Maths Karin and Hitsugaya-taicho don't talk to each other. Hinamori-fukutaicho is too happy, to my mind. And you, you are insensitive, that's all!

In Kurosaki clinic, other problem than grumpy Karin is Inoue, who's there since I sent you my last letter. I and Ichigo tried to force her to go talk with Cifer, but she's very determined not to. She cries all day. We were wondering why Hirako-taicho did something like this and one day, the mystery was solved.

He came to our house.

Ichigo was the one who opened the door. I was few steps behind him, observing the scene. However, the second Ichigo saw Hirako-taicho, he closed the door.

"I want to see Orihime-chan!" he shouted, opening the door.

Ichigo closed it.

We heard a loud curse and Hirako-taicho opened the door again.

"Ichi-"

-go closed it.

We didn't want to let him in, but in the end we had to, it started raining heavily and he wouldn't go away. Of course, he entered the kitchen, where Inoue was.

"Orihime-chan! I'm so glad to see you!" Hirako-taicho exclaimed from the kitchen door. Inoue immediately lifted her head and looked at the newcomer with red, swollen eyes. Seeing that, Hirako-taicho sat beside her in a blink of an eye.

"Orihime-chan! Did somebody hurt you?" he asked, concern clear in his voice. I noticed he put his arm on her shoulder and I winced. Unfortunately, Inoue fell for this.

"Ulquiorra-kun doesn't want to see me anymore!" she cried, bursting into tears again and burying her face in the captain's chest.

Hirako-taicho looked at us meaningfully.

"Orihime-chan, you poor girl..."

I really was about to kick him, but Kurosaki-san appeared out of nowhere, saying I and Ichigo were really rude to stare at a happy couple like that.

When we left the kitchen, I realized what time it was and quickly turned to Ichigo.

"I have a session now" I told him. "Can you take care of this situation?"

He looked at me, surprised.

"How?"

I smirked.

"Bring Hiyori on the scene."

And with those cool words I ran to Urahara Shoten. By the way, Hiyori already promised to help, since it will involve doing harm to Hirako-taicho.

"You're late" I heard as I reached my destination. "Twelve minutes, Kuchiki."

Hitsugaya-taicho. If Hinamori-fukutaicho didn't lie, he wouldn't be so impolite to me. I ignored him, though, and made my way to Grimmjow's room.

Oh well, being here... I was thinking about your post scriptum, but I decided it would be strange to get back to these things. What's more, Grimmjow already told him off.

"You're late" Arrancar said as I entered the room.

Seriously, what's their problem with that today? That day, I mean.

"You should be grateful" I replied, sitting at one end of the sofa, with Grimmjow at the other end. "Doesn't it mean more of The Beatles' songs, Mr. Harrison?"

He stood up rapidly.

"You little...!"

I rolled down from sofa just in time to avoid his fist.

"Wife-beater" I stated, suddenly realizing that lying on the floor like that made me quite an easy target. Grimmjow slowly turned to me.

I swallowed and closed my eyes, but the expected attack didn't come. I opened one eye to see my interlocutor offer me a hand reluctantly.

I stood up with his help and pouted.

"You're too touchy."

"F**k off" he said, looking at me in this special way that kills, but didn't do a thing.

We sat back on sofa and after some time the atmosphere got better. I don't know why, I felt like he could help me. I mean, in this world I don't really have a person I can ask for advice or something, and since I have to talk with Grimmjow, I thought that he might give me one...

"Um, Grimmjow?" I started cautiously.

"Hm?" he didn't even look at me.

"You see, there's a situation..." I said slowly. He sighed.

"Just say what you need to, I don't have time for useless s**t" he said, and I automatically went to the point.

"So Karin wanted to study with Hitsugaya-taicho, but Hinamori-fukutaicho told him she was studying with someone else to have him for herself. Now Karin is mad because Hitsugaya-taicho didn't come to help her and he is too because he believed Hinamori-fukutaicho and I'm the only one who knows the truth, excluding Hinamori-fukutaicho. What should I do?"

Grimmjow looked at me dispassionately as I waited for an answer. Then, he screamed.

"OI SHORTY! YOU GIRL'S NOT CHEATING ON YA!"

Silence.

"It's Hitsugaya to- WHAT?!"

I decided to escape.

"Time's out, Grimmjow!" I shouted instead of a goodbye and ran off. And I thought he'd help me...

As I passed the door to the shop I heard him shout once again.

"It's Jeagerjaquez to you!"

Honestly, I didn't even realize I call him Grimmjow. Whatever. I'm scared of what Hitsugaya-taicho can do...

Well, coming back to your letter, I don't really know how to comment on what Kira-fukutaicho did. I just don't know... It was strange.

About the 4th division... Haven't you thought about asking this Yamada Hanatarou first? He might know something.

Once again, happy birthday!

Chappies,

Rukia
