disclaimer - i'm really starting to hate this thing!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Rena entered her division only to find piles and piles of paperwork. She sighed when she saw the work she had to do.

"Argh!! You'd think they'd give you a break from paperwork once in a while!!" Rena said. She was incredibly tired and didn't want to do any work at all. She sighed again and went to sit at her desk. After some time, she began to start. Fours hours later, she finished all of them. Rena was incredibly exhausted. She decided to go and take a short nap. As soon as she was by her bed, she fell asleep.

---------------------------------------------

About half an hour after Rena woke up

"Gin, where are you?" Matsumoto asked in frustration. Matsumoto was currently exiting the third division. She had just been told by Kira that Ichimaru still hadn't returned. She had been looking for him for three days now. He always just took off.

Matsumoto was headed back to her division when she saw her captain heading out of the ninth division. She decided to poke fun at her captain when he returned to his division. After about a ten minute walk, Matsumoto entered her division's office. She saw her captain sittinga this desk, doing some paperwork.

"Sooooo, taichou. Where were you last night?" Matsumoto asked accusingly. A light pink color was visible on his face.

"None of your business, Matsumoto! Get to work!" Hitsugaya said.

"Mmmmm hmmmm. I bet you were at Rena-taichou's room? Doing what I might ask?" Matsumoto retorted.

"Th-that's none of your concern!! Now, get to work!!!!"

Matsumoto was holding in her laughter when she went to work. She loved poking fun at her captain. It was just too easy!!

After about five hours, Matsumoto decided to see if Ichimaru had returned yet. When she entered the third division, she saw Kira sitting behind his desk, doing paperwork, but Ichimaru was nowhere to be seen. She sighed and exited the room. This time she went to the ninth division. When she arrived, she found Rena-taichou rubbing the sleep from her eyes. When Rena saw Matsumoto she asked, "Do you need something, Rangiku?"

"Nothing really. Just wanted to talk. Do you have time?" Matsumoto asked.

"Yeah."

Matsumoto walked up to Rena's bed and sat down. "Have you seen Gin?" Matsumoto asked.

"No, I haven't. Why?" Rena asked.

"Well, he's been gone for three days, and I can't find him anywhere. He always does this. He never tells me where he's going or when he's gonna come back. It gets so frustrating!"

"Maybe he's doing something really important. You never really know. I mean, he's a captain again and captains are busy all the time. Well, most captains. Ichimaru's probably doing work or something."

"I don't know. It's just that, we don't really talk when we're together," Matsumoto said.

"Whadaya mean you don't talk?! You guys hang out like almost all the time! What do you two do?!" Rena asked.

Matsumoto gave Rena a look and asked, "What do you and taichou do when you're alone together and not talking?"

"We...oh," Rena said. She then turned red.

"Exactly."

"Rangiku, if that's all you guys do, then do you two really know each other? I mean, people who love each other should talk to each other otherwise they don't know much about each other and it's like doing that with a stranger, isn't it?" Rena asked. She didn't want to make her friend sad or anything, she just wants her friend to have a better relationship.

"I know what you mean, but there's not really anything to talk about. He always just cuts me off and starts kissing me."

"Try to make him understand. Besides, you both love each other so it shouldn't be too hard to talk to each other."

"Thanks. Oh, and one more thing."

"What?" Rena asked.

"Why did taichou walk out of your room this morning?" Matsumoto asked. Rena turned bright red.

"N-nothing! Bye, Rangiku!" Rena replied. Matsumoto walked out of Rena's room.

----------------------------------------------

Hueco Mundo

"So, are you going to give me the information now?" Mayume asked. She had just walked out of Ichimaru's sleeping chambers. (a/n: YUCK!)

"Yes, you have earned it," Ichimaru replied. "I plan on kidnapping Rena."

"What?!?! How're you gonna do that? And how's that gonna help you destroy Soul Society?" Mayume asked. She was so confused.

"If I kidnap her, Soul Society will be a mess, they will be training and anticipating a battle. If we don't give them one, that will throw them off. Meanwhile, the arrancar and I can have fun with her. You can also challenge her. After all that is done, and you've killed her, I'll send her back to Soul Society. They will once again be in an uproar because a captain of the Gotei 13 is dead. While, they're busy with all that stuff, we attack. With two less enemies," Ichimaru explained.

"Two?" Mayume asked.

"Yes. Hitsugaya-kun will be too depressed to fight, which makes it easy for you to kill him."

Mayume thought about it for a minute. After that minute, she smiled mischievously and said," I love your plan. When do we start?"

"Soon, very soon."

-------------------------------------------

Rena was so tired. She had just come home to her division after a sake party at the tenth division. She was so tired and wiped out. Rena walked to her bed, she was still a little unsteady on her feet. Just when Rena was at her bedside, someone came from behind her and covered her mouth. Rena passed out a little after that.

"Seems our job's easier when she's drunk," an arrancar said.

"Yeah. Now, let's get her back to Hueco Mundo," Ulquiorra replied.

-------------------------------------------

Rena's head was hurting so much when she woke up. After the sleep left her eyes, and she looked at her surroundings, she shouted, "WHERE THE HELL AM I?!?!?!"

You could hear her for miles. Suddenly, a door opened, revealing Ichimaru.

"My, my, Rena-chan. You don't have to be so loud in the morning," Ichimaru said.

"Ichimaru, where the hell am I?" Rena asked.

"You're in Hueco Mundo," Ichimaru replied.

"Oh...wait WHAT?!?!" Rena yelled.

"You're in Hueco Mundo," Ichimaru repeated.

"I know that now, but why am I here?" Rena asked.

"I told Ulquiorra to capture you," Ichimaru said.

"What? Why?"

"Because, it's part of my plan, Rena-chan."

"Why? Ichimaru, what are you saying?"

"I'm not who you think I am, Rena-chan. I still want to see the downfall of Soul Society."

"Ichimaru, you bastard! Why are you doing this?! Have you forgotten all the time you've spent in Soul Society?!?! Have you forgot about Rangiku?!?! She's been so worried about you, and all you've been doing is scheming behind our backs?!?! ANSWER ME, ICHIMARU!!!" Rena shouted.

"I was never planning on returning to Soul Society to help out."

"You are such a fool, Rena-taichou," Mayume said. She had just come in and heard what Rena said.

Rena looked at Mayume with disbelief in her eyes.

"You truly hate me that much? Just because I have Toushirou?" Rena asked.

"Yes, I hate you. I love Hitsugaya-taichou! He should be with me!!!! Not you!" Mayume shouted.

"You'll never understand what love is. If you did, you'd stay out of my replationship! Mayume, Toushirou is mine. There's no way you can have him. He gave me something you can never have," Rena said.

"Oh really? What's that?!" Mayume questioned.

Rena smiled. "...His heart. You will never be able to take that from me."

"We'll see about that!" Mayume unsheathed her sword and headed towards Rena. Rena quickly unsheathed her own sword and brought it up to block Mayume's sword. That's when Rena noticed that they didn't take away her zanpaktou. She wondered why, but didn't focuse on that fact, for Mayume had attacked again. Rena blocked and attacked Mayume. She slashed Mayume on her shoulder. It wasn't too deep.

"Hmm, Rena-taichou. I think you may be getting weak," Mayume said.

"Hmph. You're a fool. I could have killed you right then and there if my sword was in shikai. None have ever survived an attack from my zanpaktou when it's in shikai or bankai, so don't flatter yourself," Rena retorted.

"Let's see how you do against my shikai! Shoukyaku, Okibihisaki!" With that, Mayume released her shikai.

(a/n: okibihisaki - blazing flames. shoukyaku - destroy by fire)

Many flames of fire were sent Rena's way. Rena dodged most of them, but her left shoulder was injured. The flames of fire were like sharp knives covered in fire. The left shoulder part of Rena's robes were burnt off, leaving her tanned skin for people to see. (a/n: was gonna type 'for all to see' but it sounded...perverted)

"My, my, my. Rena-chan, your skin looks wonderful," Ichimaru commented.

"Keep your hentai thoughts to yourself!" Rena said.

They continued to attack each other, but Rena hadn't released her shikai yet. It wasn't that she didn't want to, she just wanted to cause Mayume a lot of pain before killing her. Mayume shot her flaming knives at Rena again. Rena dodged all of them, but when Mayume shot out even more, Rena sustained some injuries. There were three shallow cuts on her left arm, and one on her right. Those parts of her robes were also burnt off.

Rena shunpoed toward Mayume. She swung her sword to her left, but Mayume dodged it. Quickly, stepping out of the way of Mayume's sword, Rena attacked again, this time Mayume had a deep cut on her neck. It was about two inches deep. Mayume stepped back, clutching her neck in pain. Without a second thought, Rena lept toward Mayume. Mayume, seeing Rena coming at her, barely dodged the attack. When Mayume realized Rena was going to shunpoed behind her, she aimed her flaming knives at her. Rena, not having time to dodge the attack completely, had many shallow cuts and a few deep cuts to her sides. She dropped to her knees on the ground. Apparently, the cut on her right side was the deepest, and it was hurting like hell. Blood continued to flow out of her wounds. Mayume, deciding to take advantage of this, headed straight for Rena. That was her mistake. When Rena saw Mayume coming for her, she shouted, "Tokimeku, Kousetsusakura!" Immediately, Rena's sword turned pink, while her hilt stayed white.

Mayume quickly dodged Rena's swing, and shunpoed behind Rena. Rena had enough of this, she pivoted and met Mayume's sword. Before Mayume could even react, Rena had slashed her sides and her arms. One of her arms was chopped off, so you could clearly see the snow and sakura petals. Also, one of her sides was cut so deep, you could almost see her organs. Mayume's neck had tons of cuts. Not many of them were deep. Tons of snow and sakura petals fluttered from the wounds. Mayume had died in about thirty seconds after. Since she had sustained multiply injuries when Rena's sword was in shikai, her body had received a lot of poison.

Rena collapsed to her knees after Mayume had died, but she quickly got to her feet when Ichimaru's zanpaktou was coming towards her. She quickly shunpoed a good twenty feet from him.

"Ah, ah, Rena-chan. Mayume-chan may be done with you, but me and the arrancar sure aren't. We are gonna have fun with you," Ichimaru said.

"Yuck! Hell no! I am not-" Rena couldn't say any more because the pain from her injures was affecting her a lot. Rena lost consciousness a few seconds later.
