Chapter 4

*days later*

Days went by and kisara was still being haunted by her nightmares, renji felt bad that he couldn't help her. She sat on the couch and watched renji as he paced back and forth on the phone. Her ears were layed against her head and her tail was swaying off the edge of the couch. A few minutes later renji closed the phone and mumbled something, and then he threw on the floor. Kisara jumped and looked at him with curious eyes; she had never seen him so mad.

"Renji?"

"What?" snapped renji. Then he realized what he had said and looked that way to see that her ears were flat against her head. He sighed

"Kitten…i….im sorry…I didn't mean to snap…"

"Why renji mad at kitten?"

"I'm not….it's just…just that I'm not sure what to do"

"Bout me?"

Renji walked over and sat beside her on the couch and faced her. She sat on her knees and her tail wrapped around her.

"No…no…just I have no work and the money I have in the bank won't last us long"

"You will figure something out renji….I believe in you" said kisara as she placed her tail on renji leg, he smiled and grabbed her tail.

"What you doing?"

"What does it look like?...I'm playing with your tail…"

"Renji lets doing something…to make you happy again…"

"I am happy"

"No…you're mad…"

"Fine…how about a movie night?"

"Mkay renji…"

"How about we invite ichigo and his girlfriend amaya?" said renji. Kisara looked at him with uncertain eyes, and then she whimpered.

"Come on kitten…It will be ok…I promise…and it will give you a chance to make new friends…"

"I don't want new friends…"

Renji laughed and said "Come on kitten….we will get them to pick up your favorite pizza…."

"OK…ok…you win…" said kisara. Then she layed on renji lap and let him pet her head as he

called ichigo and she took a nap.

*Hours Later*

Renji had talked kisara into agree with them spending the night and ichigo and amaya were on their way. Kisara was dressed in purple pajama pants with fish on them and then a tank top that had a fish in a bowl on it, her hair was laying on her shoulders. Renji was in red and black basketball shorts and a black tank top, with his hair pulled back like always. Kisara was just coming into the living room when the doorbell rang, she gasped and ran to renji's room and hid. Renji came from the kitchen and went to the door. He opened and was greeted by ichigo and a0maya. Ichigo was dressed in orange shorts and a white tank top, amaya was dresses in pink pajama pants with pandas on them and a tank top with a panda on it, with her hair pulled back in a low pony tail. Ichigo had three pizzas and amaya had bags with sodas in them. Ichigo also had a duffle bag swung over his shoulder with their cloths in it.

"Hey guys…come on in…" said renji. They put the pizzas and the sodas on the coffee table.

"So renji…this is amaya…amaya this idiot is renji…" said ichigo as he placed his arm around her waist.

"Hello renji…its nice to meet you…"

"Nice to meet the girl that ichigo goes on and on about…..you guys can stay in the guest room…it's the second door on the right"

Amaya smiled at renji and ichigo went and put their bag in the guest room.

"So renji…what kind of movies do you have?" asked amaya

"Oh there's a bunch over there on that shelf and if you can't find any there we have Netflix…so help yourself"

"Ok thanks renji…." Said amaya as she went over to the shelf

"Hey renji…where is your pet?" asked ichigo as he came back in the living-room looking around.

"Stop calling her that….her name is kisara….."

"I was just joking dude….but seriously where is she?"

"I'll go get her…" said renji as he turned to go to his room.

"Hey renji you sure this was a good idea?..." said ichigo as he grabbed renji's arm.

"Yea…just give her a chance….you'll see…" said renji as he walked off.

Renji walked off leaving amaya and ichigo alone in the living-room. Ichigo walked over to amaya who was kneeling in front of the movie shelf.

"Hey amaya…renji went to get kisara…"

"Kisara?...that girl that you told me about…renji's pet?" said amaya as she stood and faced ichigo

"Yea….but don't call her that I was kidding he doesn't look at her like a pet…"

"Well I'm sure we will be great friends….and what does he look at her as?" Said amaya with a smile, then she kissed ichigo on the lips.

"Well….I hope so….she is a little timid though… and I'm not sure but I think something is there between them."

"Why?"

"well from what renji told me she had been living in hell….but he didn't tell me much…and you just have to see the way he is about her and the way he is around her."

"Awe…poor thing…and I will"

"Yes well let's not bring that up tonight…you know about her past and such…mkay babe?"

"Sure ichi…"

Then ichigo and amaya went back to looking at movies.

*renji's room*

Renji walked in his room, to find kisara. When he came in he looked in the bed and under the bed and in the bathroom that was connected to his room. Then he went and looked in his closet, when he opened his closet door he seen her sitting in the corner with her knees pulled up to her chest and her arms and tail was wrapped around her legs, her chin was resting on her knees. Renji sighed and kneeled down in front of her, she looked up at him.

"What's wrong kitten?"

"I'm sorry renji…I just got scared….please don't be mad"

"Do you think I would let anyone hurt you?" said renji, she just shook her head.

"Come on kitten…it'll be fun…and I'm not mad…I understand"

"What if they don't like me?"

"Kitten…that would be impossible…your very hard not to like…" said renji with a smile

"Is that why you saved me?"

"Well…when I seen you for reason I was drawn to you…I can't really explain it…I wouldn't have left you…"

"I'm glad you didn't leave me…" whispered kisara as she looked at renji. He smiled and held out his hand, She took it and allowed him to pull her into his arms. She snuggled close to his chest and wrapped her arms around renji.

"How about we go to the living room now….where ichigo and amaya is…." Said renji as he petted her head. She looked up at renji and gave a little smile and nodded. Then renji stood up and pulled her to her feet, then he walked back to the living room with kisara following close behind him holding on to his tank top.

When they walked into the living room ichigo and amaya had placed a couple of DVDs on the coffee table next to the pizza. They turned and faced renji and kisara, ichigo looked at renji with a cautious look and amaya smile at kisara who was standing behind renji with her head poked out from under his arm. She had her arm around his waist and the other was holding onto his arm, her tail was swaying behind her, and her ears were flat against her head.

"Kisara this is amaya and amaya this is kisara…" said ichigo

"Hello kisara…it's nice to meet you….." said amaya as she stepped forward. Kisara whimpered and pulled herself closer to renji, he wrapped his arm around her.

"Well how about we go get some get some ice for our drinks and we can start our movies…" said ichigo.

"Yea….why don't the boys go get the cups and everything and kisara and I can pick out a movie and put it in…." said amaya as she looked at renji.

"What do you think about that about that kitten?" asked renji as he looked down at her. She looked at him and slowly nodded. She slowly loosened her grip on renji and stood beside him and looked at amaya.

"hey kisara.." said ichigo as he smiled

"hello ichigo…" said kisara. Then he headed for the kitchen, renji paused and looked at kisara who was looking at him with sad eyes.

"Ill be right in the kitchen….ok kitten?" said renji

"OK renji…" said kisara as she looked at him, he walked off to the kitchen.

Then it was just kisara and amaya in the living room.

"So kisara…what kind of movies do you like?...and your pajamas are very cute" said amaya as she smiled, trying to make conversation. Kisara was looking toward the kitchen after renji.

"Action….sci-fi….and love stories…and thanks your are too"

"thanks…so I um picked out a few movies earlier…I'm not sure if you like them or not…would you like to see?"

"Sure…". Said kisara and her and kisara walked over to the table. Amaya grabbed the movies and turned to kisara who was now sitting on the couch. Amaya walked over and sat beside her kisara's ears flattened against her head. At the moment all she wanted to do was run to renji.

"Kisara…I would like to be your friend…"

"Mkay…." Said kisara and she looked at the movies that amaya had layed on the couch between them. She grabbed the action movie and looked at amaya. The name of the movie was ninja assassin; amaya looked at the movie and smiled

"It's one of my favorites too…I'm sure the boys will like it…." Said amaya as she grabbed the movie from kisara, who gave a little smile. They picked out a few more movies and placed them beside the DVD player.

"How about we get pillows and blankets and we can make a pallet to lay on while we can watch the movies…" asked amaya as she looked at kisara. She simply nodded and got off the couch

"The spare blankets and stuff are in that closet over there….." said kisara as she pointed to the closet in the hall. Amaya nodded , they went and got the blankets and other pillows then they moved the couch before spreading out the blanket and put out the pillows. Amaya and ichigo's pallet was on the right and renji's and kisara's was on the left.

"Well I think that will do it…." Said amaya as she put the movie in and turned to face kisara. She looked at kisara who was looking toward the kitchen again. She sighed, a few minutes later renji and ichigo came into the living room carrying four cups with ice and some plates and napkins. Amaya watched as kisara's face light up as renji came back into the room, she looked to see renji smiling at kisara. She smiled and grabbed her cup from ichigo.

"Well which one picked out this movie?" asked ichigo as he poured everyone's soda.

"Kisara…we figured that everyone would love a good action movie…." Said amaya as she sat on the pallet. Ichigo placed the box of pizza between the two pallets before sitting next to amaya. Renji went and made sure the door was locked before coming to sit on the pallet beside kisara who smiled at him. They each grabbed a piece of the pizza and started eating as the movie started. Later during the movie ichigo was laying on his back and amaya was laying on his chest, his arm was laying over her back and he was holding her hand with the other. Renji was sitting up against the couch and kisara was sitting beside him, her tail was laying over his leg. The second movie ended and ichigo yawned as amaya sat up and looked at him, kisara stood up and stretched as she looked at renji.

"Well I think we need more soda…" said amaya as she turned to kisara.

"Yea…I think so…" said kisara. Renji was happy to see her talking to other people. Amaya stood up and stretched.

"Kisara….lets me and you go get more soda and while we are in there we can make some popcorn….what you think?" asked amaya. Kisara nodded and followed amaya into the kitchen, leaving ichigo and renji in the living room. Ichigo got up and put the next movie and turned to renji, who was looking toward the kitchen.

"So she seems to be doing better than the last time I saw her…" said ichigo

"Yea….she is…"

"Have you talked to her yet? About staying and all?"

"No….but I'm not sure….something's bothering her and she won't let me in…."

"What you mean? She looked fine to me…"

"Well a couple days ago we were watching movies and all and later I went bed…of course I told her but she wanted to stay on the couch….later that night she came into my room and jumped in the bed with me…."

"Um…..what's wrong with that?"

"She was crying and shaking….she was having a nightmare…."

"Oh…I see….about what?"

"I don't really know…who ever was in her dream was trying to take her….she told them that she wanted to stay with me…even if it was just as a pet…..i think it was a night mare about her past….when I would move she would get scared of something….and she would cry again"

"But you want her more than just a pet…right?"

"Yes of course I do"

"Did you ask her about the nightmare?"

"No….I'm not sure if I should…."

"Well was it a one -time thing or what?"

"No she's been having them for days…I can be right there with her and she will have them…"

"I think next time it happens you should talk to her about it…"

"Yea… I hate that I cant stop them….like helpless…and she had one last night..."

Just then the girls came back in the living room. They sat the popcorn down and sat down with the boys. The movie started and they all munched on the popcorn, and would occionally comment on the movie. Ichigo and renji was leaning against the couch. Amaya was leaning on ichigo lap and he was running his fingers through he hair, she had fallen asleep. Kisara was laying on renji lap and her tail was wrapped around his leg. He petted her head. Ichigo looked over at kisara and then to renji.

"So she never sleeps a whole night?"

"No...not recently...but i mean she doesnt wake me up sometimes..."

"Why?"

"Because she doesnt want to bother me...ive told her over and over that she doesnt ever bother me..."

"So how do you know what happens?"

"You know im a heavy sleeper...but of she gets out of bed i like feel her leave and i can be in a dead sleep...but if she starts crying i immediatly wake up..."

"So you have no idea what they are about?"

"No...it scares her whatever they are about...i do plan to find out though...and i will not let what ever it is hurt her..."

"so I was wondering something?"

"What's that?"

"What are you going to do if her master or owner or whatever comes after her or to come get her?"

"He cant have her!...She's mine...or atleast she wants to stay here..."

"Do you know anything about that guy?"

"I know enough to say that he was a monster..."

Ichigo went to say something when kisara started to stir in her sleep and started mumble

"Pl-please stop...what did i do?" mumbled kisara. Ichigo looked at renji and he looked helpless, like he was trying to fight a battle that he couldnt see. Renji was looking down at kisara.

"Stop what kitten?...and you didnt do anything..." said renji as he stroked kisara

"please..."

"Please what kitten?"

"Let me stay...with him...with renji...even if it is as a pet..."

Renji sighed and kissed the top of her head

"Come on kitten..wake up..." said renji as he kissed her head again

"...stop...please...dont hit me again..." said kisara as she started to cry. A minute later she pulled away from renji and scarmbled to the side of the wall, gasping for air, looking around frantically. Ichigo just looked at her, he wasnt sure what to do. Renji went over to kisara who locked her eyes onto she realized it was renji, she slammed into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, She continued to cry.

"R-renji...im sc-scared"

"Shhhh...its alright...im right here...shhhh" said renji as he stroked her back. she grabbed onto his tank top like it was a life line. Then after a few mintues she calmed down and fell back asleep. Renji looked at ichigo, who was staring at kisara

"You see?"

"Yea...what made her so scared of someone...i wonder"

"Yea me too...but that monster will never hurt her again..."

"I think you should talk to her..."

"Yea I will..."

"So i think im going to take amaya and go to bed.."

"OK...night man"

"Night"

ichigo picked up amaya bridal style and went to bed. Then renji was left in the living room with kisara in his lap. He sighed and got up Kisara wrapped her arms around his neck and he carried her to his room. He layed her on the bed, she whimpered as he undid her arms around his neck. He sat on the edge of the bed and stroked he hair.

"KItten wake up"

"Renji?"

"Im right here kitten...we need to talk..."

Kisara sat up and looked at him

"What's your nightmares about?"

She looked at the bed

"kitten do you want to stay with me?"

"Yes...that's only if you want me of course"

"Of course i want you, but if you want to make this work...you need to let me in...i promise it will be ok.."

"Their about my past and the horrible things my master did to me...and about my fear that..."

"That what?"

"That he will try and take me from you...or hurt me again..."

Renji pulled her into his arms and kissed her head.

"Kitten i promise that he will never take you or do anything to you...i promise"

'But renji...he very powerful...i dont want you to get hurt"

"Everything will be ok..."

"Mkay renji..."

she yawned and leaned back to rub her eyes. Renji kissed her forehead. she looked at his with surprised eyes.

"Um...lets...lets go to bed..." said renji as he climbed under the covers, she nodded and snuggled close to him, she layed her head on his chest and put her arm over his stomach, her tail layed over his leg. She sighed

"Renji you promise he wont hurt me again and everything will be ok?"

"yes kitten...I promise..." said renji, Kisara looked up at him then she layed her head in his shoulder and snuggled close.

"Night kitten..."

Kisara layed there a few minutes and waited for renji to fall asleep then when she was sure he was asleep she picked her head up. She then slowly leaned forward and kissed renji on the cheek. He mumbled something in his sleep as he tightened his arm around kisara. She smiled and layed her head back down.

"Sweet dreams renji..."
