When Rena got back to her room, all she wanted to do was collapse on her bed and go to sleep. Unfortunately for her, that was going to be impossible for a while. For when she entered her room, she found Yachiru.
"Chiki-chan!!!! Can you come play with me?" Yachiru asked.
"Sorry, Yachiru. I'm really tired right now. I'll play with you later okay?" Rena asked the pink-haired child.
"I want to play with Chiki-chan now. Please? Only for a little while?" Yachiru whined.
"Did you play with Renji yet?" asked the tired captain.
"Yes. Redhead was no fun! All he did was shove candy in my mouth. We didn't play at all. Please? Play with me now," Yachiru asked, giving Rena the cutest puppy dog face anyone has ever seen.
Rena sighed. "Okay, Yachiru, but only for a while okay?" Rena asked, giving into the cute face.
Yachiru squealed in delight. She grabbed Rena's hand and dragged her out to the 11th division, no doubt having some twisted plan in her head. Once they got there, Yachiru told Rena to get some pink paint. Rena got the paint and handed it to Yachiru.
"What are you going to do with that?" Rena asked the grinning girl.
"I'm going to paint the WHOLE place pink. I like pink. People will like it too," Yachiru replied.
Rena sighed. She knew that the 11th division would have to clean up their walls once the little girl was done.
"Come on, Chiki-chan!! Paint with me!!" Yachiru exclaimed. Reluctantly, Rena grabbed a brush, and started to paint. Unlike Yachiru, Rena painted neatly and in one place, trying not to give the 11th division members too much work. Yachiru painted all over the place. She just kept on painting and painting. She didn't even notice that someone from her division was coming out a door, so she painted over his face. Rena couldn't help it. She laughed and told Yachiru to watch where she paints. The division member only sighed. After about an hour, Yachiru was satisfied with their work and skipped off happily to the sixth division. She was going to tell Renji to look at her painting.
Rena left the 11th division and headed back to her division, but was so tired that she fell asleep by the tenth division. Luckily, Hitsugaya was just on his way out to find his lazy fuku-taichou. He caught her just as she was about to hit the ground. Seeing that she was asleep, he carried her bridal style to her division and put her down on her bed gently. Rena was in such a deep slumber that she didn't even stir when Hitsugaya kissed her on his way out. This only cause Hitsugaya to smile. He left her to her slumber and went to one of the bars in Rukongai.
---------------------------------------------
It didn't take him too long to find his lieutenant. When he reached the bar she was in, he saw her standing on the table mumbling about cake. Renji was beside her...singing! Boy, did he sound horrible! Kira was asleep on the ground. He also found Rena's lieutenant asleep on the ground, alongside Kira. Hitsugaya sighed.
"Oi! Matsumoto! Get up and head back to the division!!" Hitsugaya told his lieutenant.
"Taichou! Want some sake?" Matsumoto asked, obviously drunk.
"No. Now let's go Matsumoto. There's a pile of paperwork at the office that you need to finish. Oi! Are you even listening to me?!" Hitsugaya asked, annoyed.
Matsumoto had put her head down on the table, pretending to be asleep when her captain mentioned paperwork. She then suddenly felt something hit her head. "Itte!! Taichou!!" Matsumoto whined.
"Get off the table and head back to the office! I know you're not asleep!" Hitsugaya practically yelled.
"Fine!" Matsumoto got up and went back to the office. I'll just sleep at the office, was what she thought.
"I better not catch you sleeping in the office, Matsumoto!" Hitsugaya warned.
Matsumoto sighed. Now she had to do paperwork. This was going just great for her.
Hitsugaya told the rest of them to go home and he shunpoed away to his room.
-----------------------------------------------
When Rena woke up, she found a little pink-haired menace next to her.
"Yachiru? What are you doing here?" Rena asked.
"Bya-kun told me to come!" Yachiru replied happily.
"Aniki? Why? What's he want?"
"He said that you gotta hurry up and get home. Something about a meeting," was Yachiru's reply. Rena sighed. This had to have something to do with the old geezers at the house. She got up, put on her attire and was about to leave when Yachiru tugged on her sleeve. Rena looked at the girl in question.
"Can I come Chiki-chan?" Yachiru asked.
"Sure. I don't see why not. Besides, you'll annoy the hell out of them, and that's kinda fun," Rena replied.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!! HAVE YOU ALL GONE NUTS?!" Rena screamed. Yachiru, who was holding Rena's hand, dropped it to cover her ears.
"Itte, Chiki-chan!" Yachiru told the angry girl.
"Sorry," Rena said, "You might want to continue covering your ears or go to Zaraki."
Yachiru just stayed with her hands over her ears. She knew Rena was angry. Not a good thing to be on her bad side.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Rena asked again.
"We said you are to have an arranged marriage with one of the four noble families' son," replied on of the elders.
"You guys are out of your mind! Like hell, I'll marry him. I already have a boyfriend, which I'm happy with, and if you think I'll marry this noble guy, then you are going to be so disappointed!!!" Rena told them.
"We know this, but you will break up with him and marry Sakurabe, Kaname. He is a fine gentleman and one of the nobles," another elder replied.
"I am not marrying anyone I don't know! I am not marrying him! I'm fine with who I'm with. I don't care if you don't find him suitable because he's not a noble. I love him, and I'm not marrying this Kaname! That's final!" Rena told them angrily. She woke up a few hours ago and already she was in a bad mood. This day was not going to be good.
"You will marry him!" the first elder told her. Rena smirked at him.
"What makes you think I will? It's my life. You don't control me. I have never listened to you or your rules. What makes you think I will now?" Rena retorted. Just then the door opened and in stepped a man at about 5' 9''. He bowed and said, "Hello, I am Sakurabe, Kaname."
"Welcome. This is Kuchiki, Rena: your bride to be," the elders greeted.
"Whoa, hold up! Kaname, I mean no disrespect, but I am not your bride to be. You gotta find yourself another one. I'm taken," Rena told him.
"She speaks nonsense, Kaname-san," another elder told him. Rena glared at him.
"Like hell I am. You better keep your mouth shut, or I'll help you!" Rena threatened.
"Kaname, look. I am not your bride or will I ever be. Yes, I'm aware that I'm being rude right now, but frankly I couldn't care less, because I'm in a bad mood right now! Ever since I was a child I have never listened to anyone, nor have I cared or followed the rules. I'm pretty sure you can tell by the way I swear without care about who hears me," Rena told Kaname.
"Chiki-chan. Are you going to kill the old geezers?" Yachiru asked. Rena looked down at the girl.
"If I have to," Rena told her.
"Is she your child?" Kaname asked.
"No, but she's like one. Sorry, Kaname, but I don't want to marry you. I don't want to marry yet. I'm fine with my boyfriend. Thanks for the offer though, " Rena told him.
"She's broken up with him. No worries," a persistent elder told him. Rena put her hand on Kousetsusakura's hilt.
"You better keep your mouth shut if you want me to spare your life, old man, and who the hell said I broke up with him?!" Rena warned. Suddenly, Rena collapsed onto her knees, clutching her stomach.
"Chiki-chan!! What's wrong? Are you okay?" Yachiru asked.
"Rena-sama!" the elders called.
Rena just continued clutching her stomach. Byakuya came over to her. She looked up and said, "Now, you help me?" Byakuya just carried her and was about to take her to the healers' room, when she stopped him. "Unohana might know what's going on. Take me to her. I don't want to stay here," she said. With Yachiru at her side, they shunpoed to the 4th division.
---------------------------------------------
Byakuya and Yachiru were waiting outside the room. They arrived at the fourth division about ten minutes ago. Then, Hitsugaya, Matsumoto, and Hisagi arrived.
"What's wrong?" Hitsugaya asked.
"She collapsed at the meeting room after yelling," Byakuya told them.
Yachiru went over to Hitsugaya and climbed on his back. "Chiki-chan threatened the old geezers and she fell," Yachiru told him.
"Why was she threatening them?" Hitsugaya asked.
"Geezers?" Matsumoto asked, laughing.
"The elders. They wanted her to get married to a noble named Sakurabe, Kaname, and she said no. Then they started arguing, and she was close to giving them hell, not to mention sending them there," Byakuya told him.
Hitsugaya stared with wide eyes. M-married?! So that's why I heard her yelling this morning, he thought.
-------------------------------------------
Inside room
Rena looked at the kind captain. She had a feeling that she was going to get some unexpected news.
"Rena-taichou? Can you answer some questions?" Unohana asked.
Rena sat up on the bed. "Sure."
"Did you do something with Hitsugaya-taichou? Something intimate?" Unohana asked.
Rena knew what she meant and a blush rose to her cheeks. "Um..yes."
"That would explain your condition."
Rena looked at Unohana in disbelief. My c-condition? She's not gonna tell me what I think she's gonna tell me is she? Rena thought.
"I believe you know what occurs sometimes when you do this?" Unohana asked. Rena nodded.
"Then all I have to say is, congratulations," Unohana smiled down at Rena. Rena's eyes were wide. I-I can't be! Oh my god.
Rena looked at Unohana and asked, "Don't tell anyone, please? Things are kind of complicated right now. just this morning I got news about an arranged marriage. Please, don't tell anyone."
"I won't, but you will have to tell them sometime." Rena nodded.
"Okay. All you have to do, is come in for check-ups every month, and you'll be fine."
Rena thanked the healer and left the room.
"Are you okay?" everyone asked.
"I'm fine. Just stressed. Don't worry." She turned to her brother and glared. "Aniki, if you or the elders still think I'm gonna marry that Kaname guy, you are so wrong! There is no way in hell that I'll marry him. If the geezers aren't satisfied with that, it's their problem. If they try to force me, I will personally kill them. I don't care if they are family. Got that?" she told her brother. He sighed and nodded.
"I need some sleep. Hisagi? Will you help me with my paperwork?" Rena asked.
"Yes, taichou."
"Thanks." Rena then looked at Hitsugaya. She smiled at him, and kissed him. Hitsugaya was shocked at this. After she broke the kiss, he asked, "Is something wrong Rena?"
Rena smiled again. "No. Everything's fine." I hope, she thought afterward. Hitsugaya just stared at her, concern and worry clearly written in his eyes. Rena tiptoed up to his ear and whispered, "Thanks." This only confused him even more. Rena giggled. She then started to skip to her division. Yachiru followed her. She wanted to find out what an arragned marriage is and why she was so mad when she heard about it. Hitsugaya and Matsumoto went back to their division and Byakuya went home, to tell the elders what Rena said.
-------------------------------------
"How is she?" the elders asked Byakuya when he entered the meeting room.
"She's fine, though she has a message for you," Byakuya stated.
"Go on," an elder told him.
"She said that she is not going to marry Sakurabe, Kaname, and that if you are not satisfied with her decision, it is your problem."
"She will marry him. If we have to, we'll force her. We need an heir."
"I suggest you refrain from doing that. She threatened to kill you if you do. I highly doubt you will survive an attack from her. You and I both know she will not hesitate to you." With that said, Byakuya left the room, leaving stunned elders behind.
The elders turned to Kaname. "Sorry, Kaname-san. It seems it will take some time for Rena-sama to understand," one older elder told him. Kaname nodded, bowed, and left the room.
---------------------------------------
"DAMMIT!! SHE SAID NO?! NOW WHAT?! I WANT HER OUT OF THE WAY!!" a woman yelled.
"Relax, cousin. The elders are trying to find a way for her to say yes. They say it will take some time so you will have to wait," Kaname told the woman.
"UGGHHH!! I DON'T WANT TO WAIT! DO YOU KNOW HOW ANNOYING IT IS TO SEE HER?! Are you sure she'll say yes?" the woman asked.
"I'm not sure, but the elders guarantee it. Do not worry. She will have to say yes. She has to bare a child for the household, since Kuchiki, Byakuya won't anytime soon," Kaname replied.
The woman sighed. "Fine. I will wait."
----------------------------------------
Rena was at her division now. She went in her room, with Yachiru following.
"Chiki-chan! Why don't you paint your room pink? It'll look really pretty!!" Yachiru exclaimed.
Rena sweatdropped. The girl just loved pink. "It's okay, Yachiru. I like my walls baby blue. If I change my mind, we'll paint it light pink okay?"
"Okay!" the child replied.
Rena sat on her bed. "Chiki-chan, you love baby blue?" Yachiru asked.
Rena smiled, "Yeah, I do Yachiru."
Yachiru giggled. "Your room is full of baby blue! Your walls, the sheets, and the couch!"
Rena giggled, "Yachiru, your room is completely pink." Yachiru smiled.
"It's getting dark. I'll bring you back to the 11th division okay?" Rena asked.
"Okay!" Yachiru exclaimed. She had clearly forgotten the reason she went to Rena's room in the first place. Rena held Yachiru's hand and they headed to the 11th division.
When they got there, the shinigami were still beating the crap out of each other. Rena sighed. They never got tired of this. Rena took Yachiru to her room and said goodnight. Yachiru only laughed and jumped on her bed, then ran out to find Yumichika. Rena headed back to her room, and when she got there she went toward her bed and fell asleep.
