Renji was staring up at the sky, the bright sun was blinding but it felt good on his skin. The poor redhead was ready to beat the hell out of something. The man stood there for a few more moments and started walking. He reached Kisukes' shop and knocked on the door. The little girl, Ururu answered the door. "Hello." She greeted quietly.
"Hey can I talk to Kisuke?" He asked her. The little girl stepped aside and let the man enter. He walked in, watching Ururu walk to the back.
"Renji." He greeted him as he walked out from the back. "What can I help you with today?" The blood-haired man asked.
"I just need a gigai." The red-haired captain stated.
"Nothing else? No room or anything?" The blood-haired man asked.
"No, I'm gonna get a motel room for a week." Renji told him.
"Alright, but just ask if you need anything else." Kisuke told him.
"Thanks." He said as Kisuke walked off to get the redhead a gigai. Renji walked outside to wait and just stood there looking up at the sky again.
"Here ya go." Kisuke said. Renji took the gigai and entered it.
"Thanks a lot." Kisuke only nodded and went back inside. Renji made his way to the nearest motel and walked inside. The redhead paid for his room for a whole week and went up to it. He figured a good nap would be best, so after getting settled, he went to bed and fell asleep, thinking of his beloved Byakuya.
Byakuya made his way to the Kuchiki manor still holding onto the ring he found, that was supposed to belong to him. He made it fairly quickly to the manor and once inside he flash stepped his way to his room. He sat down on his futon thinking of all the ways he just screwed up. I'm so sorry, Renji. I couldn't handle losing someone else, so I thought it would be best for the both of us if we just split up. Looking at this ring I know I messed up. You probably hate me more than ever. Maybe it'll be best this way. The poor man fell asleep thinking of his sweet redheaded Shinigami.
Byakuya woke up earlier than usual. The sun hadn't even came up yet, but here he was laying on his futon and staring at the ceiling. A tear fell from his eye as he said quietly, "I'm so sorry, Renji." He got out of bed and walked down to the front gate, forgetting about breakfast. He made his way to the 1st division. The dark-haired Shinigami was going to the living world and bringing his lover back, no matter what.
After waking up the head captain and getting a hell butterfly to get him to the living world, he made his way to the Senkaimon. He made his way through it quickly, not wasting a minute. Once he was in the living world he focused his reiatsu to try and find Renji. After a few moments he still couldn't find his redhead lover. He was good at locating reiatsu so why could he not find it now. It was probably the barrier the soul society put on him. He ran to search for the redhead and went on for hours.
Renji woke up to the sunlight peeking through the curtains and sat up in his bed. The 3rd division captain was not ready to wake up yet, but he knew he had to. His pager went off and saw there was a hollow nearby. The redhead rushed out, leaving his gigai there. He flash stepped to where the hollow was and noticed a familiar reiatsu clashing with it. It can't be. He thought as he went faster. He stopped on top of a building and watched as the hollow was beaten down by Byakuya himself.
Byakuya stood there as he felt his lovers reiatsu coming closer. He looked over to where it was coming from and saw the redhead. He didn't look pleased one bit to see him there. "Byakuya, why the hell are you here?" Renji asked the dark-haired captain, looking away.
"Renji, I came to bring you home." Byakuya told him, walking near him. The dark-haired man reached out to grab his hand, but Renji backed away.
"I'm not going anywhere with you! You broke up with me and then had the audacity to tell the old man that you would have a child with someone else. Why the hell should I do anything for you anymore! You broke my heart, Byakuya! Get lost!" The redhead yelled at his ex-lover. Tears fell from both of their eyes as they stood there quietly.
"I know, Renji. I feel terrible for what I did, but you have to understand…"
"I understand plenty." Renji said seriously. He looked in Byakuyas eyes as the man looked back in his. He sighed deeply and continued, "You've lost enough people in your life and you didn't want to lose anymore…"
"Renji, if you knew that then why…"
"Because, Byakuya instead of talking to me you automatically assume that I'm gonna leave you, death or something else, but there's one thing you didn't think about…" He paused as he took Byakuyas hand then continued, "I wasn't going anywhere. You was the only reason I fought. But now you broke me and I don't know if we can fix it. Give me a week and I'll be back in the soul society, then we can talk. Until then just leave me alone." Renji said as he dropped the dark-haired mans hand and walked away.
Byakuya stood there watching the man he loves walk away. The dark-haired man made his way back to the soul society a few tears threatening to escape his eyes. He called for them to open the Senkaimon and once he reached the other side, he saw a woman standing before him. The Senkaimon closed and she grinned sinisterly. "Hello, Byakuya Kuchiki."
Renji made his way to Ichigos' house. It was still early, but he figured he would wait for him. His soul pager went off again. Another hollow was nearby. He went to go take care of it when a different hollow showed up in front of him. Dammit, what the hell is going on? His pager started going off more. He took out Zabimaru and called for him. He slashed through the hollow with ease, but he had more to take care of. The redhead was slicing through hollows left and right for a mile. He was at the end of the hollows, but it was not over.
A man in a light blue crop top and a pair of black baggy pants and white tennis shoes. His hair was almost like Ichigos but as black as Byakuyas. His eyes were black and soulless. He stood on the other side of the street and was smiling evilly at the red-haired captain. "Who the hell are you?" Renji asked the man. He didn't answer, but simply smiled wider. He lunged at Renji, almost hitting him. He was moving so fast, Renji could hardly keep up. The man wasn't giving Renji a chance to fight back, only dodge and block. Damn, he's fast. I have to think of something. The redhead thought to himself.
"You're fast, young captain, but can you keep this up?" The creepy man asked him. Just then a hollow came up from behind him and knocked Renji to the ground. "Good boy." The man told the hollow. The hollow howled as if calling for someone or something. Renji felt a pain to his head and the red-haired captain was knocked out cold.
The woman stood there smiling at Byakuya as if he was a piece of meat. Her hair was long and ocean blue, tied up in a black ribbon. She wore a black sleeveless top that ended at the bottom of her breasts. Her black shorts ended at the top of her thighs and she wore black knee-high, high heeled boots. "Byakuya Kuchiki, noble son of the Kuchiki clan and captain of the 6th division. Also lover of the 3rd division captain Renji Abarai, or should I say ex-lover." She said chuckling. Byakuyas' face remained calm, but inside what she said was raging inside of him.
"Who are you?" He said calmly.
"Oh, I'm just a woman that has been watching you and that sexy redhead of yours." She told him licking her lips. She started walking toward him. "I have to say you and him make a cute couple, but…" She paused and from behind him she whispered, "he will be mine." What she said made his blood boil. In a flash he took out Senbonzakura and sliced the air behind him. I missed. She was laughing a few feet away from him. "You're quick, but it seems not quick enough." He lunged at her and attacked, but once again she dodged it with ease. Damn. Who is this woman? The dark-haired captain asked himself.
"Who are you? I will not ask again." Byakuya asked the woman.
"If you must know…" She paused again. Byakuya felt a sharp pain from the back of his neck and he was on the ground. Before he passed out he heard her say, "Azumi Mizoto."
The red-haired captain woke up to find it was dark, but then he realized there was something over his head. He tried to get the thing off but his arms were bound above his head. He tried to get out of them, but something was containing his spiritual pressure. "What the hell is this? Whoever you are, let me go!" The redhead said. The object was removed and he saw the same man he fought before.
"Keep it down, would ya'." The man said.
"Oh come now, Yuuto. Be nice to my future husband." Renji noticed a woman in black clothes come into view from the right side of the room. "Hello, Renji. It's nice to see you again." The woman greeted. The man whos' name is Yuuto rolled his eyes and walked to the other side of the room. He leaned against the wall and watched the woman. Renji turned to the woman and saw her walking toward him. "Do you not remember me, Renji?" Renji tried his best, but couldn't figure it out. "That hurts, honey. Remember, me and you grew up in the Rukongai. Which you was flaunting over that Rukia girl so probably not." She said, angrily.
"Why should I remember you? You and him kidnapped me, you psycho bitch." The red-haired captain told her.
"Renji, that is no way to treat your future wife. Besides, I'm not the one that wanted you here." She stated as she kissed his cheek. He cringed away from the woman and tried to get out of his binds.
"Let me go, you crazy people!" He yelled out to them.
"Sorry, man. We have orders." Yuuto said.
"Then whos' ass do I have to kick?" Renji asked.
"Our fathers, if you can." Yuuto said with a smile. Just then a tall, slender, but muscular man came into the room. His hair was black and went down to his waist, his eyes were black and soulless just like Yuutos. Renji figured it was their father, because he looked like an older version of Yuuto.
"Hello, Renji Abarai." The man said with a deep voice. It was cold and emotionless, Renji cringed at the sound of his name coming from his lips. "I am Haru Mizoto." He said.
"Why am I here? What do you want from me?" Renji asked him still trying to get out of his hold.
"I want you to marry my daughter and join us in taking over the Soul Society." He explained.
"Why would I ever do that?" Renji asked him angrily.
"Just like you, we grew up in the Rukongai and we've seen terrible things happen there. The only thing we want is to take over and make the people of the Rukongai the leaders of the Soul Society. It's about time the people of the Sereitei get a taste of what it feels like to live like we did. To feel the shame, the devastation of living in that low, horrible place. Nobody cares about people like us and we believe that needs to change." The man explained as he thought back to those times in his life.
Renji thought about it too, but shook that feeling and the thoughts out of his mind. "I will never join you. I fought my way out of there and it made me who I am today. I will not go back to thinking about those times. So let me go!" He yelled.
"We thought you might reject us, so we decided to get a little leverage to convince you." After he said that, the woman was dragging something in from out the door. He noticed it was a body and once she had him all the way in, Renji noticed the clothes and his eyes went wide.
"No." He said quietly. She took off the cloth over his head and there was Byakuya laying on the ground, bloody and bruised. "You, asshole! Let him go, right now!" Renji said, yanking on his binds. He kept trying his best, using everything he had to get out of it.
"So, Renji. Are you going to join us now?" Haru asked the redhead.
"Are you out of your mind? Hell no!" Haru shook his head, then turned around facing the woman.
"Azumi." He said quietly. The woman starting kicking Byakuya, making the dark-haired captain grunt. After a few kicks he started spitting up blood. Renjis' eyes started overflowing with tears.
"Stop! Please, stop!" Renji screamed at them. Haru raised his hand to stop Azumi. He turned toward Renji, waiting for him to speak. Renjis' head fell in defeat. "Alright, I'll…"
"No…Renji." Byakuya said quietly, coughing up more blood. Azumi kicked him in the face, knocking him back out.
"Will you let him go, if I say yes?" Renji asked the tall man.
"Yes, we will." He said, grinning evilly.
"But father." Azumi said.
"Azumi, we will let this man go, if he agrees." He told his daughter sternly.
"Yes, father." She said, hanging her head. Renji looked up at the man, with one last tear hitting the floor.
"Then yes, I will join you." Azumi got a nod from her father and she picked up Byakuya, putting him over her shoulder and taking off. Yuuto came over and undid Renjis' binds and he fell to the floor.
"Let us get to work." Haru said, holding out a hand to Renji. The redhead didn't take it, but stood up anyway. The tall man walked over to the door and opening it. He then turned around and looked at Renji with soulless eyes, "Just a quick issue. If you try to betray us, we will kill your beloved Byakuya." He said, turning and leaving Renji by himself, his heart heavy with hurt.
