The Red Head with Attitude

Ch.2

"The nerve of that lousy noble. GRRRRRRRRR! That… that ugh! Why should I care? He's not that cute. He's barely tolerable. I hate him. I hate this place… but where else can I go?" Ren thought frustrated. She hadn't slept well then he had the nerve to challenge her. How she wanted to ram that sword up his ass. She would enjoy that, she really would. "Why are guys such jerks?"

"Probably because we are just as messed up as you," Suzuki answered. Ren had not realized that she had spoken the words aloud as she paced the lieutenant's office.

"My apologies Suzuki. I did not mean you."

"Of course not. But don't let the captain hear you."

"Why should care if that jackass hears me?"

"Because he can get you into more trouble that you can handle."

"I don't know about that." She smirked.

"Yes you are enough trouble on your own. We don't need the captain to add his two cents worth."

"I'm more trouble than you can handle… when I want to be."

"Which is every day all day long."

"No it's not."

"Then prove it. Go one whole day without getting into trouble for fighting, yelling at the captain…"

"Alright, alright I get it. I'll be on my best behavior starting tomorrow morning when I wake up. For now I'm gonna go pummel some unseated losers into a pulp."

"Don't pummel them to a pulp. We need them to do their work."

"You're no fun." Ren walked out of the office then turned and walked towards the training area for the sixth division.

When she got there a couple of unseated losers were slacking off. She reached for her zanpakuto and pulled it out. She walked over quietly and placed the blade against the man's throat.

"Should I get the Captain or do you wish to deal with me? You'll find I'm in a foul mood and would enjoy ripping you limb from limb. So which is it?"

"We're sorry Ren-san. We'll get back to work. No need to involve the Captain," they said as the scurried back to their chores.

"Who are you more afraid of, me or the Captain?," she shouted at them.

"Both of you," one of them said.

"Both of us? Hummmm I like the sound of that. Would one of you who is less scared of me spare with me? I promise to go easy on you."

One man raised his hand and said, "I will if you are serious about going easy on me."

"I made a promise. I never and I mean NEVER break a promise." She didn't break her promise however the man was breathing hard afterwards. "You're not bad, but I'm better."

"No Doubt. You could be as strong as The Captain. We know you are just as scary. Thanks for not pummeling us… me."

"No problem. I just needed a workout. However it was to vent too. Also if you change your grip just a tad you could improve that swing of yours." She showed him the change he needed to make.

"Thanks." The man smiled. "You're not so bad after all, but you're still scary and strong."

"Yeah you better remember that too. Later." She walked back to her room in the barracks. It was now time for dinner and she made something to eat. Then she went to sleep thinking that she could get used to being nice to some people but not all people.
