Alternate Ending #1: Sitting in a Tree...
By :Jane H.A.S. Doe
I don't own Bleach, okay?
Also, this only one of the few endings I got stewing in my head.
Renji watched as Rukia left the park, absolutely bawling. He jumped down from the tree, thinking about what he'd just done.
She was crying. Renji thought utterly amazed. She positively howling. That's not like her. It was just a little joke. Everyone else in the world knew that Ichigo and Orihime were going out. It was time for her to know.
Renji scratched his head. He had been trying to remember what he had wanted to see Rukia about. Whatever it was made Renji chicken out at the last minute. Since he saw Rukia coming, he had jumped into the nearest tree as quietly and quickly as he could.
He had watched as Rukia waited impatiently for him. He had watched as Rukia heard noises behind the trees.
He had known that it was Orihime and Ichigo back there. Truth be told, he'd been trying his hardest not to look at them. He had seen Rukia coming towards them about to see something that would break her heart. Why hadn't he stopped her? He could've easily jumped out of the tree. He could have easily made up some lame excuse as to why he was in the tree. He could've easily lead Rukia to safety.
But he didn't.
Because then Rukia would continue loving Ichigo. Because then Rukia would still be oblivious to the fact that she was in a one-sided relationship, a relationship that was doomed from the start.
Because then Rukia would be blind to any and all other suitors who actually cared for her.
Renji began walking towards the gate to the park.
He remembered what he wanted to tell Rukia.
He wanted to tell her he loved her.
But he didn't. Instead, in a sly way, he tricked her. It was kinda his fault that Ichigo broke her heart.
Renji stood by the gate, wondering if he had made the right choice.
.:End:.
I'm going to college in like two weeks. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: Aww, too bad. .:sighs:. But at least I got to right one story before I'm bombarded with schoolwork, right?
Also, if you didn't like this ending, there will be more. Trust me.
